\n00:00:13,900 –> 00:00:15,600
\nWelcome to good for selfie and
\ntalks. <\/p>\n

\nI’m Levi and I’m Chris and I’m
\nBrian, thank you for joining us <\/p>\n

3
\n00:00:19,300 –> 00:00:21,900
\nthis week.
\nOn this podcast, we select one <\/p>\n

4
\n00:00:21,900 –> 00:00:26,400
\ntaco week to help us get the
\nBible in our daily news feed. <\/p>\n

5
\n00:00:26,600 –> 00:00:29,300
\nWe post a new episode of the
\nstart of each week with a short <\/p>\n

6
\n00:00:29,300 –> 00:00:31,400
\nintro before.
\nHand to kind of set the stage <\/p>\n

7
\n00:00:31,400 –> 00:00:33,600
\nfor the talk.
\nYou’re about to listen to and <\/p>\n

8
\n00:00:33,600 –> 00:00:36,300
\nnow let’s talk more about this
\nweek’s talk. <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:50,600 –> 00:00:53,800
\nWelcome back for this week.
\nWe’re listening to an excitation<\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:53,800 –> 00:00:56,700
\nthat was given by Brother
\nMcRoberts earlier. <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:56,700 –> 00:01:00,400
\nThis year, right after the
\nIdlewild Bible school and Title <\/p>\n

12
\n00:01:00,400 –> 00:01:05,700
\nof his exhortation is Jesus last
\nwords on the cross and the focus<\/p>\n

13
\n00:01:05,700 –> 00:01:10,100
\nof Brother mix words for this
\nexcitation are one of the ones <\/p>\n

14
\n00:01:10,100 –> 00:01:12,400
\nthat is like a classic.
\nLook at what an excitation is <\/p>\n

15
\n00:01:12,400 –> 00:01:13,500
\nmeant for.
\nHe’s looking at. <\/p>\n

16
\n00:01:13,500 –> 00:01:15,900
\nWhat are the words that were
\nthinking about when we partake <\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:15,900 –> 00:01:18,500
\nof the emblems every week?
\nI didn’t realize in, this is one<\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:18,500 –> 00:01:21,000
\nof the little nuggets that he
\nshared during his excitation <\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:21,000 –> 00:01:22,200
\nwith while Jesus was on the
\ncross. <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:22,200 –> 00:01:26,300
\nHe only said, 50 words less than
\neven what’s in the Lord’s <\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:26,300 –> 00:01:30,100
\nPrayer.
\nAnd those phrases are Right <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:30,100 –> 00:01:34,600
\nacross the various gospel
\naccounts of Jesus crucifixion. <\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:35,500 –> 00:01:40,300
\nI found this to be a really
\npowerful look at the crucifixion<\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:40,300 –> 00:01:42,200
\nof Christ.
\nSince it is something that we <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:42,200 –> 00:01:45,500
\nremember every Sunday, there’s
\nlots of times when you hear her <\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:45,500 –> 00:01:49,500
\ndifferent expectations where you
\nthink about Christ’s sacrifice <\/p>\n

27
\n00:01:49,500 –> 00:01:52,300
\nand about the things going on
\naround that event. <\/p>\n

28
\n00:01:52,700 –> 00:01:54,400
\nAnd I just found it to be a
\nreally interesting way to look <\/p>\n

29
\n00:01:54,400 –> 00:01:57,200
\nreally closely at the words
\nbecause every word that Jesus <\/p>\n

30
\n00:01:57,300 –> 00:02:01,700
\nchose and phrase that he spoke
\nCarried some significant, some <\/p>\n

31
\n00:02:01,700 –> 00:02:06,000
\nimpact for us as those that are
\nreading of it, and those that <\/p>\n

32
\n00:02:06,000 –> 00:02:08,800
\nheard it during that that
\nfateful day. <\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:09,699 –> 00:02:13,200
\nSo I found it to be a really
\npowerful lesson to look at. <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:13,200 –> 00:02:17,300
\nHe has some good notes as he
\ngoes through looking at the <\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:17,300 –> 00:02:20,400
\nmeaning and the impact behind
\neach of the phrases that Jesus <\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:20,400 –> 00:02:24,300
\nspoke while he was on the cross.
\nSo I would advise you to write <\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:24,300 –> 00:02:26,000
\nthose down and take notes.
\nAs you’re going, I found it to <\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:26,000 –> 00:02:28,100
\nbe a really powerful thing.
\nSomething to go back and look <\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:28,100 –> 00:02:31,600
\nat, I’m not going to spoil.
\nAnything else from his <\/p>\n

40
\n00:02:31,600 –> 00:02:32,900
\nexhortation?
\nI’m going to let you go ahead <\/p>\n

41
\n00:02:32,900 –> 00:02:35,900
\nand listen to that.
\nSo as always, thank you for <\/p>\n

42
\n00:02:35,900 –> 00:02:38,900
\nsending and suggestions for
\nlistening for all the support, <\/p>\n

43
\n00:02:39,100 –> 00:02:42,200
\nwe greatly appreciate it.
\nAnd with that, I’m going to turn<\/p>\n

44
\n00:02:42,200 –> 00:02:46,500
\nit over to brother and McRoberts
\nfor his extrication, entitled. <\/p>\n

45
\n00:02:46,600 –> 00:02:50,500
\nJesus last words on the cross,
\nbut I wanted to take as a theme <\/p>\n

46
\n00:02:50,500 –> 00:02:55,100
\nthis morning, something that was
\ntriggered by a conversation. <\/p>\n

47
\n00:02:55,100 –> 00:02:57,500
\nI had a while ago.
\nWe somebody who just simply said<\/p>\n

48
\n00:02:57,500 –> 00:03:02,800
\nto me, when we break bread and
\nwine, What do you think about <\/p>\n

49
\n00:03:03,300 –> 00:03:05,300
\nwhen you actually partaken of
\nthe bread and the wine? <\/p>\n

50
\n00:03:05,400 –> 00:03:09,500
\nWhat goes on in your mind?
\nAnd I thought, well, that’s a <\/p>\n

51
\n00:03:09,500 –> 00:03:12,900
\nstrange question, because it
\ndepends week-to-week what’s been<\/p>\n

52
\n00:03:12,900 –> 00:03:14,600
\ngoing on.
\nAnd there may be all sorts of <\/p>\n

53
\n00:03:14,600 –> 00:03:17,700
\nSilent prayers and all sorts of
\nthings that are passing through <\/p>\n

54
\n00:03:17,700 –> 00:03:20,400
\nmy mind.
\nAnd I said, well why what do you<\/p>\n

55
\n00:03:20,400 –> 00:03:22,600
\nthink about?
\nHe said, well this brother said,<\/p>\n

56
\n00:03:22,600 –> 00:03:26,300
\nwell, what I find helpful for me
\nis I I visualize I go to the <\/p>\n

57
\n00:03:26,308 –> 00:03:28,400
\nfoot of the cross.
\nHe said that that’s that’s just <\/p>\n

58
\n00:03:28,400 –> 00:03:32,000
\nwhat I do that was his his
\nmoment in silence as you share <\/p>\n

59
\n00:03:32,000 –> 00:03:35,900
\nthe bread and shared the wine
\nthat was his, I won’t call it a <\/p>\n

60
\n00:03:35,908 –> 00:03:39,700
\ntechnique but that was Where his
\nmindset went that, he just felt <\/p>\n

61
\n00:03:39,700 –> 00:03:42,600
\nhelped him to focus on what he
\nwas doing and why I was doing <\/p>\n

62
\n00:03:42,600 –> 00:03:46,200
\nit.
\nSo, I thought that’s an <\/p>\n

63
\n00:03:46,200 –> 00:03:48,500
\ninteresting idea and something,
\nwhich I’ve tried from time to <\/p>\n

64
\n00:03:48,508 –> 00:03:53,300
\ntime, but I also then looked at
\nthe idea of what if I thought <\/p>\n

65
\n00:03:53,300 –> 00:03:57,700
\nabout the words that Jesus spoke
\nduring those Quiet Moments, When<\/p>\n

66
\n00:03:57,700 –> 00:04:02,600
\na taking the Bread and Wine.
\nNow this is not a test so don’t <\/p>\n

67
\n00:04:02,600 –> 00:04:04,400
\nfear that it’s a test that’s
\ncoming. <\/p>\n

68
\n00:04:05,600 –> 00:04:08,800
\nBut when I looked at this, I
\nasked myself the question. <\/p>\n

69
\n00:04:08,800 –> 00:04:11,000
\nWhat do I do?
\nI know what Jesus said when he <\/p>\n

70
\n00:04:11,000 –> 00:04:17,600
\nwas on the cross in those last
\nfew hours of Is life because <\/p>\n

71
\n00:04:17,600 –> 00:04:22,400
\nit’s only about 50 words that
\nJesus speaks Which is less than <\/p>\n

72
\n00:04:22,400 –> 00:04:24,800
\nthe Lord’s Prayer and we could
\nall stand up now and recite the <\/p>\n

73
\n00:04:24,800 –> 00:04:26,600
\nLord’s Prayer without any
\nhesitation. <\/p>\n

74
\n00:04:27,300 –> 00:04:30,300
\nBut the idea is saying well
\ncould we all stand up and just <\/p>\n

75
\n00:04:30,300 –> 00:04:33,200
\nrecite what the Lord said in his
\nlast few hours on the cross? <\/p>\n

76
\n00:04:33,900 –> 00:04:37,200
\nI know I would struggle.
\nAnd I’d also perhaps really <\/p>\n

77
\n00:04:37,200 –> 00:04:39,800
\nstruggle thinking, and what was
\nthe sequence in which those <\/p>\n

78
\n00:04:39,800 –> 00:04:44,700
\nthings were said, but the gospel
\nwriters Faithfully recorded for <\/p>\n

79
\n00:04:44,700 –> 00:04:48,200
\nus?
\nThose seven statements or <\/p>\n

80
\n00:04:48,200 –> 00:04:52,500
\nphrases or words, the words that
\nJesus spoke in his last hours, <\/p>\n

81
\n00:04:53,400 –> 00:04:56,100
\nand you may have looked at it
\nbefore, as a study and you may <\/p>\n

82
\n00:04:56,100 –> 00:04:59,800
\nhave explored those sayings and
\nconsidered their sequence and <\/p>\n

83
\n00:04:59,800 –> 00:05:04,100
\nconsider their impact.
\nSo, it might be that we’re going<\/p>\n

84
\n00:05:04,100 –> 00:05:08,000
\nto try on some familiar ground,
\nbut then I have another thought <\/p>\n

85
\n00:05:08,700 –> 00:05:11,900
\nand the thought was that the
\nthings that Jesus spoke on the <\/p>\n

86
\n00:05:11,900 –> 00:05:14,900
\ncross, actually, may have a
\ndifferent impact. <\/p>\n

87
\n00:05:15,000 –> 00:05:19,800
\nOn me at different times
\ndepending on, what’s going on in<\/p>\n

88
\n00:05:19,800 –> 00:05:24,000
\nmy life.
\nSo the worst that I read six <\/p>\n

89
\n00:05:24,000 –> 00:05:28,000
\nmonths ago or six years ago,
\nwhen I thought about it, when I <\/p>\n

90
\n00:05:28,000 –> 00:05:32,100
\nthought about those 50 words,
\nthey just might land differently<\/p>\n

91
\n00:05:32,500 –> 00:05:36,200
\nthis morning or last week or
\nnext week if the Lord reminds <\/p>\n

92
\n00:05:36,200 –> 00:05:39,500
\naway.
\nSo it’s a very simple <\/p>\n

93
\n00:05:39,500 –> 00:05:42,500
\nexultation.
\nI want to have us all think <\/p>\n

94
\n00:05:42,500 –> 00:05:45,500
\nabout this morning before we
\nshare the bread and the wine. <\/p>\n

95
\n00:05:45,500 –> 00:05:49,300
\nAnd whether you choose to let
\nthose words tumble through your <\/p>\n

96
\n00:05:49,300 –> 00:05:52,300
\nmind, when we partake of the
\nbread and butter take of the <\/p>\n

97
\n00:05:52,300 –> 00:05:56,500
\nwine, that’s, that’s clearly up
\nto you, but it might be in a <\/p>\n

98
\n00:05:56,500 –> 00:06:00,400
\nquiet moment at some point when
\nyou just sort of sat there <\/p>\n

99
\n00:06:00,400 –> 00:06:05,600
\nthinking I’ve got nothing to do
\nand I know with Idlewild. <\/p>\n

100
\n00:06:06,100 –> 00:06:10,100
\nThat might seem a long way off.
\nBut there might be, those just <\/p>\n

101
\n00:06:10,100 –> 00:06:15,700
\nmoments just sitting quietly and
\njust to let those 50 or so words<\/p>\n

102
\n00:06:16,300 –> 00:06:19,900
\njust run through your mind and
\nto see what they’re saying to <\/p>\n

103
\n00:06:19,900 –> 00:06:24,300
\nyou today, what am I taking from
\nthem? <\/p>\n

104
\n00:06:24,600 –> 00:06:27,600
\nToday?
\nThat might be exultation ‘l. <\/p>\n

105
\n00:06:27,800 –> 00:06:30,100
\nThat might be encouraging.
\nThat might be. <\/p>\n

106
\n00:06:30,100 –> 00:06:33,500
\nShall we say?
\nJust what I need. <\/p>\n

107
\n00:06:35,500 –> 00:06:39,700
\nSo let me just read you those
\nphrases because if you are <\/p>\n

108
\n00:06:39,700 –> 00:06:42,600
\nreading this week during
\nMatthew, you would have read one<\/p>\n

109
\n00:06:42,600 –> 00:06:44,200
\nof them but Matthew only
\nrecords. <\/p>\n

110
\n00:06:44,200 –> 00:06:46,900
\nOne of them.
\nWe have to put together, John’s <\/p>\n

111
\n00:06:46,900 –> 00:06:50,300
\nrecord and Luke’s record to get
\nthe 7 and to try and put them <\/p>\n

112
\n00:06:50,300 –> 00:06:54,900
\ninto some sort of a sequence.
\nSo let me just read them to you.<\/p>\n

113
\n00:06:56,100 –> 00:07:00,000
\nFather, forgive them for they
\nknow not what they do. <\/p>\n

114
\n00:07:01,100 –> 00:07:06,200
\nAssuredly I say to you today.
\nYou will be with me in Paradise.<\/p>\n

115
\n00:07:07,500 –> 00:07:13,800
\nWoman, behold your son.
\nBehold your mother. <\/p>\n

116
\n00:07:15,400 –> 00:07:18,500
\nMy God.
\nMy God, why have you forsaken <\/p>\n

117
\n00:07:18,500 –> 00:07:24,800
\nme?
\nI thirst It is finished. <\/p>\n

118
\n00:07:26,400 –> 00:07:30,900
\nFather, into your hands.
\nI commend my spirit. <\/p>\n

119
\n00:07:32,700 –> 00:07:36,300
\nNow as I say it wasn’t a test
\nbut just a read them out to you.<\/p>\n

120
\n00:07:36,300 –> 00:07:37,200
\nYou might have.
\nYes, that’s right. <\/p>\n

121
\n00:07:37,200 –> 00:07:39,800
\nThat’s a cut that comes next.
\nAnd, and that comes next. <\/p>\n

122
\n00:07:42,000 –> 00:07:45,900
\nBut the sound of those words
\nthat were spoken and Faithfully <\/p>\n

123
\n00:07:45,900 –> 00:07:49,700
\nrecorded, I think.
\nI think offers a amazing <\/p>\n

124
\n00:07:49,700 –> 00:07:53,800
\nexultation and I’m I’m wanting I
\nguess to share with you what I <\/p>\n

125
\n00:07:53,808 –> 00:07:59,800
\nfound helpful.
\nI ended up when I wrote the <\/p>\n

126
\n00:07:59,900 –> 00:08:04,200
\nLister out of trying to find
\nwhat would be a word that <\/p>\n

127
\n00:08:04,400 –> 00:08:07,700
\nencapsulates for me, that
\nsentence or that statement. <\/p>\n

128
\n00:08:08,800 –> 00:08:10,900
\nAnd I found I could come up with
\na word that began with the <\/p>\n

129
\n00:08:10,900 –> 00:08:14,500
\nletter c for each.
\nSo let me share with you what <\/p>\n

130
\n00:08:14,500 –> 00:08:21,300
\nthey were.
\nWe begin with Father, forgive <\/p>\n

131
\n00:08:21,300 –> 00:08:23,600
\nthem for they know not what they
\ndo. <\/p>\n

132
\n00:08:26,300 –> 00:08:29,300
\nMaybe it’s reminding me that
\nthere are things that might be <\/p>\n

133
\n00:08:29,300 –> 00:08:34,500
\ngoing on that right now in my
\nlife, I’m so close to. <\/p>\n

134
\n00:08:35,600 –> 00:08:42,299
\nI can’t see the wider context
\nwhen Jesus said, father forgive <\/p>\n

135
\n00:08:42,299 –> 00:08:43,900
\nthem, they know not what they
\ndo. <\/p>\n

136
\n00:08:43,900 –> 00:08:47,700
\nJesus was clearly one who knew
\nthe whole picture, you knew <\/p>\n

137
\n00:08:47,700 –> 00:08:50,500
\nexactly what was going on.
\nHe knew that those Roman <\/p>\n

138
\n00:08:50,500 –> 00:08:54,500
\nsoldiers were effectively just
\ninstruments in his father’s <\/p>\n

139
\n00:08:54,500 –> 00:08:58,200
\nhands.
\nEnds and who knows what’s going <\/p>\n

140
\n00:08:58,200 –> 00:09:02,800
\non in our lives right now, that
\nwe’re so close to that because <\/p>\n

141
\n00:09:02,800 –> 00:09:10,800
\nwe can’t see the context.
\nWe’re scared, Jesus wasn’t at <\/p>\n

142
\n00:09:10,800 –> 00:09:15,800
\nthat moment, when he’s being
\ntaken ready for execution, he’s <\/p>\n

143
\n00:09:15,800 –> 00:09:20,000
\ntalking about forgiveness
\nbecause he can see context, <\/p>\n

144
\n00:09:21,400 –> 00:09:26,900
\nbrothers and sisters, do you,
\nand I sometimes lose context. <\/p>\n

145
\n00:09:27,500 –> 00:09:30,900
\nAnd we need to remember,
\nContext. <\/p>\n

146
\n00:09:33,700 –> 00:09:37,800
\nWhen Jesus said, assuredly, I
\nsay to you today. <\/p>\n

147
\n00:09:38,400 –> 00:09:45,500
\nYou will be with me in paradise.
\nAnd we, of course, we don’t know<\/p>\n

148
\n00:09:45,500 –> 00:09:49,200
\nthe backstory that we
\ndesperately, want about that <\/p>\n

149
\n00:09:49,500 –> 00:09:51,200
\nThief.
\nThat was on the cross. <\/p>\n

150
\n00:09:51,300 –> 00:09:56,900
\nAlongside the Lord Jesus.
\nBut there is Jesus in his Agony <\/p>\n

151
\n00:09:58,000 –> 00:10:02,600
\nextending Words, which would
\nhave provided Comfort to that <\/p>\n

152
\n00:10:02,600 –> 00:10:06,200
\nman.
\nWe know from the conversation <\/p>\n

153
\n00:10:06,200 –> 00:10:09,000
\nthat’s recorded that you had an
\nappreciation. <\/p>\n

154
\n00:10:09,000 –> 00:10:13,200
\nMaybe he had heard the master
\nspeak before and knew that he <\/p>\n

155
\n00:10:13,200 –> 00:10:20,900
\nwas deserving, whereas the Lord,
\nJesus wasn’t deserving, and in <\/p>\n

156
\n00:10:20,900 –> 00:10:25,600
\nhis Agony, Jesus wasn’t focused
\non himself. <\/p>\n

157
\n00:10:26,700 –> 00:10:31,700
\nHe was focused on the needs of
\nothers, he was reaching out. <\/p>\n

158
\n00:10:32,100 –> 00:10:35,800
\nHe was perhaps responding to the
\nagony and the cries that they <\/p>\n

159
\n00:10:35,800 –> 00:10:42,800
\nwere making, as they also hung
\non their crosses and Jesus <\/p>\n

160
\n00:10:42,800 –> 00:10:48,300
\nspeaks words of comfort, I
\nwonder what it would have meant <\/p>\n

161
\n00:10:48,900 –> 00:10:53,200
\nto a man in his final hours of
\nlife to hear from the Lord <\/p>\n

162
\n00:10:53,200 –> 00:10:58,200
\nJesus.
\nThose words assuredly without <\/p>\n

163
\n00:10:58,200 –> 00:11:01,200
\ndoubt because of that Act of
\nFaith. <\/p>\n

164
\n00:11:01,200 –> 00:11:04,200
\nA man who was ultimately
\nbaptized into the death of <\/p>\n

165
\n00:11:04,200 –> 00:11:08,800
\nChrist at that moment.
\nYou’ll be with me in Paradise. <\/p>\n

166
\n00:11:10,500 –> 00:11:13,600
\nWhat what is it brothers and
\nsisters that the Lord is saying <\/p>\n

167
\n00:11:13,600 –> 00:11:18,600
\nto you and saying to me that
\neven though we might be in great<\/p>\n

168
\n00:11:18,600 –> 00:11:24,300
\ndistress like the thief
\nincomparable, perhaps in its <\/p>\n

169
\n00:11:24,400 –> 00:11:30,200
\nphysical poem. but maybe in the
\nmental stresses and strains that<\/p>\n

170
\n00:11:30,200 –> 00:11:36,400
\nwere failing, And we just need
\nto hear and take comfort when <\/p>\n

171
\n00:11:36,400 –> 00:11:44,400
\nthe Lord speaks to us.
\nAssuredly certainly don’t doubt.<\/p>\n

172
\n00:11:46,100 –> 00:11:52,800
\nYou’ll be with me in Paradise.
\nThis is look at some words will <\/p>\n

173
\n00:11:52,800 –> 00:11:55,000
\nlook at one or two of them.
\nWill look at John from moment, <\/p>\n

174
\n00:11:55,000 –> 00:12:03,700
\nJohn 19.
\nBecause we have the amazing. <\/p>\n

175
\n00:12:05,700 –> 00:12:11,200
\nWords that Jesus speaks to his
\nmother and his disciple, which <\/p>\n

176
\n00:12:11,200 –> 00:12:18,300
\nwe believe to be John.
\nThey are it says in verse 25 of <\/p>\n

177
\n00:12:18,300 –> 00:12:20,200
\nJohn 19 at the foot of the
\ncross. <\/p>\n

178
\n00:12:22,800 –> 00:12:28,900
\nAnd Jesus speaks.
\nWoman, behold your son. <\/p>\n

179
\n00:12:30,400 –> 00:12:33,100
\nAnd to the disciple, behold your
\nmother. <\/p>\n

180
\n00:12:34,900 –> 00:12:38,000
\nNow what’s that saying to you
\nand me brother and sisters this <\/p>\n

181
\n00:12:38,000 –> 00:12:41,300
\nmorning?
\nIt may have said something to us<\/p>\n

182
\n00:12:41,300 –> 00:12:44,600
\nbefore and it makes her stomach
\ndifferent next week. <\/p>\n

183
\n00:12:44,700 –> 00:12:49,800
\nBut what’s it saying to you this
\nmorning about relationships <\/p>\n

184
\n00:12:50,300 –> 00:12:54,600
\nabout the importance of care
\nthat’s there? <\/p>\n

185
\n00:12:54,800 –> 00:13:00,500
\nOr my third see. that Jesus, at
\nthis time was concerned about <\/p>\n

186
\n00:13:00,500 –> 00:13:04,900
\nthe welfare and well-being of
\nthose who are near to him and <\/p>\n

187
\n00:13:04,900 –> 00:13:08,600
\nthe importance of placing on
\nthem, our responsibility of <\/p>\n

188
\n00:13:08,600 –> 00:13:15,800
\nrelationship, Woman, behold your
\nson and to the disciple. <\/p>\n

189
\n00:13:15,800 –> 00:13:19,100
\nBehold your mother.
\nWe could read that initially. <\/p>\n

190
\n00:13:19,100 –> 00:13:24,100
\nAnd just say, I’m wanting John
\nto look after my mom, which in <\/p>\n

191
\n00:13:24,100 –> 00:13:28,200
\nitself is wonderful, Given that
\nhe knows that he stressed. <\/p>\n

192
\n00:13:28,200 –> 00:13:29,600
\nThat his mother would have been
\nhim. <\/p>\n

193
\n00:13:29,700 –> 00:13:32,000
\nWe know how much distressed she
\nwas in the last time. <\/p>\n

194
\n00:13:32,000 –> 00:13:38,000
\nHe got lost in Jerusalem and she
\nand her husband, Joseph will be <\/p>\n

195
\n00:13:38,000 –> 00:13:40,500
\nside themself when they didn’t
\nknow where he was. <\/p>\n

196
\n00:13:44,000 –> 00:13:47,000
\nBut he’s also saying, woman,
\nbehold your son? <\/p>\n

197
\n00:13:48,400 –> 00:13:51,900
\nMaybe there’s a mutual need,
\nthere’s a mutual support, <\/p>\n

198
\n00:13:52,000 –> 00:13:56,500
\nthere’s a mutual care, which is
\nmade possible because Jesus has <\/p>\n

199
\n00:13:56,500 –> 00:14:04,000
\ngiven the instruction So who
\nneeds you or I to reach out <\/p>\n

200
\n00:14:05,100 –> 00:14:10,200
\nbecause I need to look at my
\nbrother behold, my sister, <\/p>\n

201
\n00:14:10,300 –> 00:14:13,000
\nbehold my brother, we get the
\nexample, don’t we? <\/p>\n

202
\n00:14:13,000 –> 00:14:15,900
\nAnd the encouragement in the
\nletters of treating, the older <\/p>\n

203
\n00:14:15,900 –> 00:14:20,600
\nas mothers in the Ecclesia.
\nAnd when we read that, the <\/p>\n

204
\n00:14:20,600 –> 00:14:24,800
\nwritings to my dear children,
\nthat sense of the family that we<\/p>\n

205
\n00:14:24,800 –> 00:14:27,300
\nare.
\nSo is Jesus. <\/p>\n

206
\n00:14:27,300 –> 00:14:33,800
\nAlso speaking to me today about
\ntaking care of my brothers, and <\/p>\n

207
\n00:14:33,800 –> 00:14:38,400
\nmy sisters, my elders, and my
\nyounger ones. <\/p>\n

208
\n00:14:43,500 –> 00:14:47,900
\nWe then have Jesus crying out.
\nThose words, my God. <\/p>\n

209
\n00:14:47,900 –> 00:14:50,600
\nMy God.
\nWhy have you forsaken me? <\/p>\n

210
\n00:14:51,000 –> 00:14:53,500
\nAnd, of course, on the surface,
\nwhen we read it, we could easily<\/p>\n

211
\n00:14:53,500 –> 00:14:57,800
\ntake it as the Lord has suddenly
\nHis faithless collapsed. <\/p>\n

212
\n00:14:59,200 –> 00:15:02,300
\nBut we know it happened.
\nBecause when we read all of <\/p>\n

213
\n00:15:02,300 –> 00:15:06,800
\nthat, Psalm 22, we know that it
\ngoes on to speak of the fact <\/p>\n

214
\n00:15:06,800 –> 00:15:12,200
\nthat he has been answered.
\nHis cry has been heard. <\/p>\n

215
\n00:15:12,900 –> 00:15:15,200
\nIt says, in verse 24 of Psalm
\n22. <\/p>\n

216
\n00:15:16,000 –> 00:15:21,300
\nSo, when Jesus speaks that song,
\nI think he’s confirming. <\/p>\n

217
\n00:15:21,300 –> 00:15:27,000
\nNot an anxiety that has been
\nforsaken, but a contentment that<\/p>\n

218
\n00:15:27,000 –> 00:15:28,800
\nthese things are being worked
\nout. <\/p>\n

219
\n00:15:28,900 –> 00:15:33,000
\nOut and that his father has
\nheard him and does know his <\/p>\n

220
\n00:15:33,000 –> 00:15:36,500
\ncircumstance and does appreciate
\nhis situation. <\/p>\n

221
\n00:15:38,200 –> 00:15:40,800
\nSo, brothers and sisters, who
\nare you content? <\/p>\n

222
\n00:15:42,100 –> 00:15:46,600
\nAre you finding contentment?
\nEven in the struggles that we <\/p>\n

223
\n00:15:46,600 –> 00:15:50,700
\nmight be facing?
\nHave you forgotten that the Lord<\/p>\n

224
\n00:15:50,700 –> 00:15:53,400
\ndoes here?
\nA father does here. <\/p>\n

225
\n00:15:53,400 –> 00:15:59,600
\nWe read in Romans, we, we cry
\nout, Abba, Father, Just like the<\/p>\n

226
\n00:15:59,600 –> 00:16:02,700
\nLord did.
\nAnd we cry out, not in <\/p>\n

227
\n00:16:02,700 –> 00:16:07,600
\ndesperation.
\nBut we cry out in confirmation. <\/p>\n

228
\n00:16:09,200 –> 00:16:15,800
\nWe cry out content that we’re
\nbeing listened to if your Bible <\/p>\n

229
\n00:16:15,800 –> 00:16:21,400
\nis still open in John.
\nAnd 19, and at verse 28 after <\/p>\n

230
\n00:16:21,400 –> 00:16:24,000
\nthis.
\nJesus knowing all things were <\/p>\n

231
\n00:16:24,000 –> 00:16:28,300
\nnow accomplished that the
\nscripture might be fulfilled <\/p>\n

232
\n00:16:28,500 –> 00:16:34,600
\nsaid, I thirst.
\nNow, we could read that in two <\/p>\n

233
\n00:16:34,600 –> 00:16:37,200
\nways couldn’t we?
\nWe could read it as being the <\/p>\n

234
\n00:16:37,200 –> 00:16:40,300
\nman who is understanding of what
\nscripture was prophesied. <\/p>\n

235
\n00:16:40,300 –> 00:16:44,000
\nSo to fulfill that prophecy, he
\ncalls out and they bring him <\/p>\n

236
\n00:16:44,400 –> 00:16:47,700
\nthat vessel the sponge, the wine
\nvinegar. <\/p>\n

237
\n00:16:48,700 –> 00:16:52,300
\nSo it could be in that sense.
\nSo we might say the Lord is in <\/p>\n

238
\n00:16:52,600 –> 00:16:59,900
\ncontrol at this moment.
\nWhen he cries out I thirst it <\/p>\n

239
\n00:16:59,900 –> 00:17:04,200
\ncould be that he also knows that
\nhe wants to have a voice that’s <\/p>\n

240
\n00:17:04,200 –> 00:17:07,500
\nloud.
\nEnough to be heard when he cries<\/p>\n

241
\n00:17:07,500 –> 00:17:10,700
\nout his next statement.
\nHe’s in control. <\/p>\n

242
\n00:17:10,700 –> 00:17:14,200
\nThat’s the main thing.
\nBrothers and sisters, and isn’t <\/p>\n

243
\n00:17:14,200 –> 00:17:17,300
\nit phenomenal when we just pause
\nand think about all the agony, <\/p>\n

244
\n00:17:17,300 –> 00:17:22,300
\nwhich the Lord is going through
\nthat, the man is in control, <\/p>\n

245
\n00:17:23,900 –> 00:17:25,599
\nGive me something that I might
\ndrink. <\/p>\n

246
\n00:17:25,599 –> 00:17:32,000
\nI thirst fulfilling prophecy,
\nbut giving him the voice that <\/p>\n

247
\n00:17:32,000 –> 00:17:36,300
\nenables him to cry out the next
\nstatement. <\/p>\n

248
\n00:17:38,400 –> 00:17:45,300
\nIt is finished.
\nAnd it’s so loud and clear that <\/p>\n

249
\n00:17:45,300 –> 00:17:47,500
\neverybody would have heard it.
\nWho was there? <\/p>\n

250
\n00:17:49,700 –> 00:17:52,300
\nAnd he wanted everybody to know,
\nit’s something, which he <\/p>\n

251
\n00:17:52,300 –> 00:17:54,500
\nhimself.
\nOf course had said a little <\/p>\n

252
\n00:17:54,500 –> 00:17:59,400
\nearlier in John chapter 17, I
\nhave finished the work which you<\/p>\n

253
\n00:17:59,400 –> 00:18:03,500
\nhave given me to do.
\nAnd now on the cross, he’s <\/p>\n

254
\n00:18:03,500 –> 00:18:07,800
\nmaking sure if you missed it.
\nIt’s finished. <\/p>\n

255
\n00:18:09,300 –> 00:18:14,700
\nThat provision.
\nNothing has been left undone, <\/p>\n

256
\n00:18:17,100 –> 00:18:21,400
\nits completion.
\nBrothers and sisters. <\/p>\n

257
\n00:18:21,400 –> 00:18:24,400
\nWhat have you?
\nAnd I left incomplete. <\/p>\n

258
\n00:18:25,700 –> 00:18:30,200
\nThat needs to be done in the
\nLord’s service, the example that<\/p>\n

259
\n00:18:30,200 –> 00:18:34,000
\nwe’ve got is a man who finished
\nare you? <\/p>\n

260
\n00:18:34,000 –> 00:18:38,500
\nAnd I in control as it were,
\nwell, we know that the Lord is <\/p>\n

261
\n00:18:38,500 –> 00:18:45,100
\nin control, but are we letting
\nhim take control of us that we <\/p>\n

262
\n00:18:45,100 –> 00:18:48,500
\nmake the right choices and do
\nthe right things? <\/p>\n

263
\n00:18:52,900 –> 00:18:58,100
\nAnd his final words, father into
\nyour hands. <\/p>\n

264
\n00:18:59,100 –> 00:19:06,700
\nI commit my spirit.
\nCommitment in the ultimate <\/p>\n

265
\n00:19:06,700 –> 00:19:11,600
\nsense.
\nThe complete example of trust, <\/p>\n

266
\n00:19:12,300 –> 00:19:17,500
\nnot a desire to hang on and
\nfight to hold on to life which <\/p>\n

267
\n00:19:17,500 –> 00:19:21,600
\nis what it is in our DNA.
\nIt’s their natural response that<\/p>\n

268
\n00:19:21,600 –> 00:19:26,600
\nif we’re drowning with fight to
\nsave ourselves, but for Jesus, <\/p>\n

269
\n00:19:28,200 –> 00:19:32,500
\nthere was no fight.
\nThere was a commitment. <\/p>\n

270
\n00:19:33,400 –> 00:19:37,700
\nI commend my spirit.
\nI commend my life. <\/p>\n

271
\n00:19:37,700 –> 00:19:46,600
\nI have poured out all that I
\nhave to give. 50 or so words. <\/p>\n

272
\n00:19:48,600 –> 00:19:54,500
\nBut spoken and recorded.
\nFor our learning. <\/p>\n

273
\n00:19:57,700 –> 00:20:01,900
\nSo, while we sing context, are
\nwe drawing Comfort? <\/p>\n

274
\n00:20:03,400 –> 00:20:06,400
\nAre we inspired by his example
\nof care. <\/p>\n

275
\n00:20:08,000 –> 00:20:14,900
\nAre we content?
\nAre we controlling ourselves <\/p>\n

276
\n00:20:15,800 –> 00:20:21,800
\ncompleting the work?
\nAnd making that commitment. <\/p>\n

277
\n00:20:24,300 –> 00:20:28,500
\nNow, we said those 50 words
\nmight be 50 words that might <\/p>\n

278
\n00:20:29,000 –> 00:20:32,300
\nwash around our mind when we
\nshare the bread and wine. <\/p>\n

279
\n00:20:33,300 –> 00:20:37,500
\nIf not now then maybe those 50
\nwords can wash around this week.<\/p>\n

280
\n00:20:38,600 –> 00:20:42,900
\nwhen there’s a moment when we
\njust need to pause and reflect <\/p>\n

281
\n00:20:42,900 –> 00:20:47,800
\non what we have done together
\nthis morning, what a privilege <\/p>\n

282
\n00:20:47,800 –> 00:20:51,700
\nbrother and sisters that
\nwherever we are, whatever we <\/p>\n

283
\n00:20:51,700 –> 00:20:56,100
\ndoing.
\nHowever, low, we might feel that<\/p>\n

284
\n00:20:56,100 –> 00:21:00,000
\nin effect.
\nThe Lord has given us a mind <\/p>\n

285
\n00:21:00,700 –> 00:21:07,500
\nthat enables us to listen to the
\nSon of God speaking at the end <\/p>\n

286
\n00:21:07,500 –> 00:21:11,100
\nof his life.
\nI think that’s an amazing <\/p>\n

287
\n00:21:11,100 –> 00:21:14,700
\nprivilege and an amazing
\nblessing, which I know I don’t <\/p>\n

288
\n00:21:14,700 –> 00:21:22,400
\nlisten to half as much as I
\nought to as I sit down with and <\/p>\n

289
\n00:21:22,400 –> 00:21:26,600
\nsisters, I’ll remind you.
\nThat whilst of course, those are<\/p>\n

290
\n00:21:26,600 –> 00:21:29,800
\nthe last words that were spoken
\non the cross. <\/p>\n

291
\n00:21:31,000 –> 00:21:34,600
\nThey’re not the last words that
\nwe have recorded that he said, <\/p>\n

292
\n00:21:36,100 –> 00:21:41,200
\nand as we share the Bread and
\nWine, We can look forward to <\/p>\n

293
\n00:21:41,208 –> 00:21:45,700
\nbecause he also said Shirley I’m
\ncoming quickly. <\/p>\n
