\ntaco week to help us get the

\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 –> 00:00:32,900
\nfor the talk.
\nYou’re about to listen to. <\/p>\n

8
\n00:00:33,500 –> 00:00:36,300
\nAnd now let’s talk more about
\nthis week’s talk. <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:50,800 –> 00:00:53,400
\nHello and welcome back to
\nanother talk for this week. <\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:53,400 –> 00:00:57,300
\nWe’re listening to a Bible class
\nthat was given a couple years <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:57,300 –> 00:00:59,800
\nago by brother Brian Styles
\nlooking. <\/p>\n

12
\n00:01:00,100 –> 00:01:03,100
\nAt the last day in the Lord’s
\nlife. <\/p>\n

13
\n00:01:03,800 –> 00:01:07,000
\nThis is a subject that we
\nremember every week where we’re <\/p>\n

14
\n00:01:07,000 –> 00:01:12,100
\ntalking about Jesus final final
\nday and his death and then later<\/p>\n

15
\n00:01:12,100 –> 00:01:14,900
\nResurrection.
\nBut what I really appreciate <\/p>\n

16
\n00:01:14,900 –> 00:01:18,600
\nabout brother Brian’s talk is he
\ngoes very deep and almost a <\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:18,600 –> 00:01:22,400
\nplay-by-play of the events
\nstarting from just before the <\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:22,400 –> 00:01:26,700
\nLast Supper up until his
\ncrucifixion. <\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:27,600 –> 00:01:31,700
\nThis was given during the week
\nof Easter and Passover. <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:31,700 –> 00:01:34,800
\nSo he makes mention at the
\nbeginning of his class about the<\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:34,800 –> 00:01:37,400
\nday, he gave the class
\npotentially being the day that <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:37,400 –> 00:01:40,200
\nJesus died.
\nAnd just something to kind of <\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:40,200 –> 00:01:43,300
\nthink about his call to action.
\nAt the beginning is just as <\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:43,300 –> 00:01:47,800
\nsomething to think about like
\nwhat are we doing day-to-day? <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:47,800 –> 00:01:50,800
\nWhich I found to be convicting
\nin something just as a reminder <\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:50,800 –> 00:01:56,300
\nof day-to-day.
\nWhat are we doing to remember <\/p>\n

27
\n00:01:56,300 –> 00:01:57,800
\nJesus?
\nIn the things that we do? <\/p>\n

28
\n00:01:59,200 –> 00:02:01,800
\nRegardless of whether it’s on a
\nSunday morning or not. <\/p>\n

29
\n00:02:03,000 –> 00:02:07,700
\nSo, this might be a class that
\nmight be a good one to listen to<\/p>\n

30
\n00:02:08,000 –> 00:02:10,199
\non a weekend.
\nKind of Elmo something that <\/p>\n

31
\n00:02:10,199 –> 00:02:13,500
\nhelps you to remember the
\nmemorial service, but I found it<\/p>\n

32
\n00:02:13,500 –> 00:02:16,700
\nto be a really powerful.
\nReminder, I know for myself <\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:16,700 –> 00:02:19,500
\npersonally, sometimes Sunday
\nmornings can become more of a <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:19,500 –> 00:02:23,700
\nroutine at times and is I find
\nat least personally, these <\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:23,700 –> 00:02:27,300
\nreally deep Dives and diving
\ninto the details to be a good <\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:27,300 –> 00:02:32,500
\nreminder of how much is actually
\nAre when we remember our Lord’s <\/p>\n

37
\n00:02:32,500 –> 00:02:35,900
\nsacrifice and the Last Supper on
\na Sunday morning. <\/p>\n

38
\n00:02:36,000 –> 00:02:41,400
\nSo, this talk was given as a
\nsuggestion, a little bit ago. <\/p>\n

39
\n00:02:41,700 –> 00:02:44,000
\nSo thank you to the person who
\nsent it in. <\/p>\n

40
\n00:02:44,600 –> 00:02:47,000
\nAnd I hope that you find it to
\nbe as encouraging. <\/p>\n

41
\n00:02:47,000 –> 00:02:51,300
\nAnd as moving as I did, when I
\nwas listening to it, And as <\/p>\n

42
\n00:02:51,300 –> 00:02:53,700
\nalways, if you have other
\nsuggestions, please feel free to<\/p>\n

43
\n00:02:53,700 –> 00:02:56,600
\nsend them in, either on social
\nmedia, or through the good, <\/p>\n

44
\n00:02:56,600 –> 00:03:00,000
\nChristian talks website or
\ncrystalline talks.com. <\/p>\n

45
\n00:03:01,000 –> 00:03:03,400
\nWe appreciate all the
\nsuggestions and recommendations <\/p>\n

46
\n00:03:03,400 –> 00:03:04,900
\nand feedback that we get from
\npeople. <\/p>\n

47
\n00:03:06,000 –> 00:03:10,000
\nIt helps us to find new and
\ninteresting talks, especially as<\/p>\n

48
\n00:03:10,000 –> 00:03:12,600
\nwe’re coming up now on the
\nsummer so they’ll be more Bible <\/p>\n

49
\n00:03:12,600 –> 00:03:14,800
\nschools and things going on with
\nthe new and exciting talks <\/p>\n

50
\n00:03:14,800 –> 00:03:19,100
\ncoming out of those as well.
\nSo with that, I will turn it <\/p>\n

51
\n00:03:19,100 –> 00:03:22,900
\nover to Brother Brian styles.
\nAs for his talk entitled the <\/p>\n

52
\n00:03:22,900 –> 00:03:27,300
\nlast day of our Lord’s life,
\nlast week we consider the <\/p>\n

53
\n00:03:27,300 –> 00:03:31,000
\nsignificance of the Passover as
\nGod established it back in <\/p>\n

54
\n00:03:31,000 –> 00:03:33,700
\nExodus knowing that one week out
\nfrom last week. <\/p>\n

55
\n00:03:33,800 –> 00:03:38,300
\nSo today the Passover would
\nbegin and we looked at how it <\/p>\n

56
\n00:03:38,300 –> 00:03:40,700
\npointed forward to the
\nDeliverance that God would <\/p>\n

57
\n00:03:40,700 –> 00:03:44,500
\nultimately afford to his people,
\nthrough his son, the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n

58
\n00:03:44,500 –> 00:03:48,700
\nChrist, and it was John the
\nBaptist who said of Jesus in <\/p>\n

59
\n00:03:48,700 –> 00:03:54,300
\nJohn 1:29 Behold the Lamb of
\nGod, which taketh away the sin <\/p>\n

60
\n00:03:54,300 –> 00:03:59,300
\nof the world, and tonight is the
\nliteral night of the Passover. <\/p>\n

61
\n00:03:59,400 –> 00:04:02,500
\nIt’s the start of the Passover
\nfeast, and the Jews are actually<\/p>\n

62
\n00:04:02,700 –> 00:04:07,100
\nkeeping the feast as we speak.
\nAnd as we took a look at last <\/p>\n

63
\n00:04:07,100 –> 00:04:10,100
\nweek, this event has a great
\ndeal of significance, not only <\/p>\n

64
\n00:04:10,100 –> 00:04:13,600
\nfrom a historical perspective
\nbut also from a scriptural <\/p>\n

65
\n00:04:13,600 –> 00:04:17,800
\nperspective as well.
\nAnd so as we reflect on our own <\/p>\n

66
\n00:04:17,800 –> 00:04:21,000
\nlives over the last week, it’s
\nworth asking ourselves. <\/p>\n

67
\n00:04:21,000 –> 00:04:24,800
\nThe question of how have we done
\nwith finding the leaven within <\/p>\n

68
\n00:04:24,800 –> 00:04:29,300
\nour own houses with finding the
\nareas that need Improvement. <\/p>\n

69
\n00:04:29,800 –> 00:04:33,300
\nAnd not only finding them but
\nthen committing to making the <\/p>\n

70
\n00:04:33,300 –> 00:04:36,400
\nchanges to remove that leaven
\nout of our Lives. <\/p>\n

71
\n00:04:37,100 –> 00:04:41,300
\nKeep thinking about this theme
\nas we think about areas of sin, <\/p>\n

72
\n00:04:41,300 –> 00:04:44,200
\nand as we continue through this
\ntimeline of where we are in our <\/p>\n

73
\n00:04:44,200 –> 00:04:47,300
\nhouses because It really is an
\nongoing event. <\/p>\n

74
\n00:04:47,300 –> 00:04:51,000
\nIt’s an ongoing battle as we try
\nto find sin and remove it from <\/p>\n

75
\n00:04:51,000 –> 00:04:53,100
\nour lives.
\nThat we might be more acceptable<\/p>\n

76
\n00:04:53,100 –> 00:04:56,800
\nbefore God.
\nBut stepping from the last week <\/p>\n

77
\n00:04:56,800 –> 00:05:00,500
\ninto today and just focusing on
\ntoday for a moment. <\/p>\n

78
\n00:05:00,900 –> 00:05:03,200
\nHave you stopped at all
\nthroughout the day to think <\/p>\n

79
\n00:05:03,200 –> 00:05:07,000
\nabout another important
\nhistorical event that occurred <\/p>\n

80
\n00:05:07,000 –> 00:05:11,300
\non this day?
\nHave you realized that this was <\/p>\n

81
\n00:05:11,300 –> 00:05:14,700
\nthe day in history?
\nThat Jesus died. <\/p>\n

82
\n00:05:16,000 –> 00:05:21,500
\nThat just under 2,000 years ago,
\nJesus was crucified today. <\/p>\n

83
\n00:05:22,800 –> 00:05:26,000
\nbecause we know that our Lord
\ndied just before the Passover <\/p>\n

84
\n00:05:26,000 –> 00:05:29,800
\nstarted, and when you stop and
\nallow that to sink in for a <\/p>\n

85
\n00:05:29,800 –> 00:05:34,600
\nmoment, It really has a great
\ndeal of impact in our own lives <\/p>\n

86
\n00:05:34,600 –> 00:05:37,900
\nas we reflect on what the day
\nentailed for us. <\/p>\n

87
\n00:05:39,000 –> 00:05:41,600
\nWhat did we do today?
\nWhat were the stresses of the <\/p>\n

88
\n00:05:41,600 –> 00:05:43,900
\nday?
\nWhat were the things that filled<\/p>\n

89
\n00:05:43,900 –> 00:05:47,900
\nour time throughout the day?
\nAnd then think about what it <\/p>\n

90
\n00:05:47,900 –> 00:05:51,100
\nwas.
\nThat filled our Lord’s day on <\/p>\n

91
\n00:05:51,100 –> 00:05:54,700
\nthe last day of his life.
\nWell that’s what we hope to do. <\/p>\n

92
\n00:05:54,700 –> 00:05:58,900
\nOver the next hour together is
\nto reflect as we briefly walk <\/p>\n

93
\n00:05:58,900 –> 00:06:02,500
\nthrough the narrative to try to
\nenter into it with our Lord to <\/p>\n

94
\n00:06:02,500 –> 00:06:05,500
\nsee what it is that he endured,
\nhow it is that he tried to <\/p>\n

95
\n00:06:05,500 –> 00:06:10,500
\nprepare his disciples and how it
\nis that his disciples responded <\/p>\n

96
\n00:06:10,600 –> 00:06:13,400
\nin the midst of it.
\nThe hope is to be able to <\/p>\n

97
\n00:06:13,400 –> 00:06:17,500
\nextract for ourselves some of
\nthe exhortation of values as it <\/p>\n

98
\n00:06:17,508 –> 00:06:20,500
\npertains to our Lord’s life.
\nAnd to really, just try to take <\/p>\n

99
\n00:06:20,500 –> 00:06:23,800
\na few moments to remember what
\nit is that our Lord went <\/p>\n

100
\n00:06:23,800 –> 00:06:25,400
\nthrough.
\nNot just on the last day of his <\/p>\n

101
\n00:06:25,400 –> 00:06:29,300
\nlife, but each and every day, as
\nhis life was filled with <\/p>\n

102
\n00:06:29,300 –> 00:06:33,600
\nservice, What we plan to do then
\nis to take a look through the <\/p>\n

103
\n00:06:33,600 –> 00:06:37,100
\neyes of one of Jesus closest
\nfriends Through The Eyes of <\/p>\n

104
\n00:06:37,100 –> 00:06:41,000
\nPeter, and to go back and forth
\nbetween Peter and our Lord, to <\/p>\n

105
\n00:06:41,000 –> 00:06:43,300
\nsee how it is that they
\ninteracted on this day. <\/p>\n

106
\n00:06:44,100 –> 00:06:48,000
\nBecause both men faced an
\nimmense trial on this day. <\/p>\n

107
\n00:06:48,600 –> 00:06:51,600
\nJesus faced the trial that would
\nultimately lead to his <\/p>\n

108
\n00:06:51,600 –> 00:06:56,700
\ncrucifixion and Peter faced a
\ntrial of faith that would Shake <\/p>\n

109
\n00:06:56,700 –> 00:07:00,600
\nhim even to his very core.
\nWe know that these two trials <\/p>\n

110
\n00:07:00,600 –> 00:07:04,500
\nhad two very different outcomes
\nfor these two men, and one <\/p>\n

111
\n00:07:04,500 –> 00:07:08,300
\noutcome for the Son of God and
\nthe one for Peter in this moment<\/p>\n

112
\n00:07:09,400 –> 00:07:12,300
\nand hopefully, we’ll be able to
\ngain exhortation of value from <\/p>\n

113
\n00:07:12,300 –> 00:07:16,000
\ntaking a look at both of them.
\nSo, if you could open to Luke <\/p>\n

114
\n00:07:16,000 –> 00:07:20,700
\nchapter 22, we’ll just read a
\nsection here, in Luke chapter 22<\/p>\n

115
\n00:07:21,200 –> 00:07:23,200
\nto help set the stage for
\nourselves. <\/p>\n

116
\n00:07:23,700 –> 00:07:27,200
\nWe won’t be able to cover the
\nentire day in detail, but <\/p>\n

117
\n00:07:27,200 –> 00:07:29,600
\nhopefully, we’ll be able to
\ncover enough of It to where it <\/p>\n

118
\n00:07:29,600 –> 00:07:31,700
\nreally helps us.
\nTry to focus. <\/p>\n

119
\n00:07:31,700 –> 00:07:35,500
\nAnd remember, what our Lord
\naccomplished on our behalf, Luke<\/p>\n

120
\n00:07:35,500 –> 00:07:39,600
\nchapter 22.
\nAnd we’ll start at verse 19 and <\/p>\n

121
\n00:07:39,600 –> 00:07:44,200
\nread through the end.
\nLuke 22 and verse 19. <\/p>\n

122
\n00:07:45,900 –> 00:07:49,800
\nAnd this starts at the Last
\nSupper, and he took bread and <\/p>\n

123
\n00:07:49,800 –> 00:07:53,400
\ngave, thanks and Brake it and
\ngave unto them saying, this is <\/p>\n

124
\n00:07:53,400 –> 00:07:57,800
\nmy body, which is given for you.
\nThis do in remembrance of me. <\/p>\n

125
\n00:07:58,900 –> 00:08:02,400
\nLikewise also the cup after
\nsupper saying, this cup is the <\/p>\n

126
\n00:08:02,400 –> 00:08:06,800
\nNew Testament in my blood, which
\nis shed for you, but behold the <\/p>\n

127
\n00:08:06,800 –> 00:08:10,400
\nhand of him that betrayeth me is
\nwith me on the table and truly <\/p>\n

128
\n00:08:10,400 –> 00:08:12,800
\nthe son of man goeth as it was
\ndetermined. <\/p>\n

129
\n00:08:13,500 –> 00:08:18,100
\nBut woe unto that man by whom he
\nis betrayed, and I began to <\/p>\n

130
\n00:08:18,100 –> 00:08:19,900
\ninquire among themselves, which
\nof them. <\/p>\n

131
\n00:08:19,900 –> 00:08:23,200
\nIt was that should do this thing
\nand there was also a Strife <\/p>\n

132
\n00:08:23,200 –> 00:08:26,100
\namong them, which of them should
\nbe accounted the greatest. <\/p>\n

133
\n00:08:27,100 –> 00:08:30,400
\nAnd he said unto them, the kings
\nof the Gentiles exercise <\/p>\n

134
\n00:08:30,400 –> 00:08:34,200
\nlordship over them and they that
\nexercise Authority upon them are<\/p>\n

135
\n00:08:34,200 –> 00:08:38,600
\ncalled benefactors but ye shall
\nnot be so, but he that is <\/p>\n

136
\n00:08:38,600 –> 00:08:43,100
\ngreatest among you let him be as
\nthe younger and he that is Chief<\/p>\n

137
\n00:08:43,500 –> 00:08:47,400
\nas he that the serve for whether
\nis greater he that sitteth at <\/p>\n

138
\n00:08:47,400 –> 00:08:50,200
\nmeat, where he, that serveth is
\nnot. <\/p>\n

139
\n00:08:50,200 –> 00:08:54,000
\nHe that sitteth at meat, but I
\nam among you as he that serveth.<\/p>\n

140
\n00:08:54,800 –> 00:08:56,800
\nYou’re, they would have
\ncontinued with me in my <\/p>\n

141
\n00:08:56,800 –> 00:09:00,900
\nTemptations and I appoint unto
\nyou a kingdom as my father. <\/p>\n

142
\n00:09:00,900 –> 00:09:04,700
\nHath appointed unto me that you
\nmay eat and drink at my table, <\/p>\n

143
\n00:09:04,700 –> 00:09:08,000
\nin my kingdom, and sit on the
\nThrones judging the Twelve <\/p>\n

144
\n00:09:08,000 –> 00:09:13,100
\nTribes of Israel.
\nThe Lord said, Simon, Simon <\/p>\n

145
\n00:09:14,000 –> 00:09:15,800
\nbehold.
\nSatan has desired to have you <\/p>\n

146
\n00:09:15,800 –> 00:09:20,100
\nthat he may sift, you as wheat,
\nbut I have prayed for thee that <\/p>\n

147
\n00:09:20,100 –> 00:09:23,500
\nthy faith, fail not.
\nAnd when there are converted <\/p>\n

148
\n00:09:23,600 –> 00:09:27,500
\nstrengthen thy brethren, And he
\nsaid unto him, Lord, I am ready <\/p>\n

149
\n00:09:27,500 –> 00:09:30,200
\nto go with thee, both into
\nprison and to death. <\/p>\n

150
\n00:09:31,200 –> 00:09:35,000
\nAnd he said, I tell you Peter,
\nthe cock shall not Crow this day<\/p>\n

151
\n00:09:35,000 –> 00:09:39,400
\nbefore, Thou shalt deny me, that
\nthou shalt Thrice deny that thou<\/p>\n

152
\n00:09:39,400 –> 00:09:44,200
\nknowest me and he said unto them
\nwhen I sent you without purse <\/p>\n

153
\n00:09:44,300 –> 00:09:48,800
\nand scrip and shoes, lactea
\nanything and they said nothing, <\/p>\n

154
\n00:09:49,700 –> 00:09:52,100
\nthen he said unto them.
\nBut now he that hath a purse. <\/p>\n

155
\n00:09:52,100 –> 00:09:55,300
\nLet him take it and likewise his
\nscript and he that hath. <\/p>\n

156
\n00:09:55,300 –> 00:09:57,700
\nNo sword.
\nLet him sell His Garment and buy<\/p>\n

157
\n00:09:57,700 –> 00:10:01,300
\none.
\nFor, I say unto you that this <\/p>\n

158
\n00:10:01,300 –> 00:10:05,200
\nthat is written must yet be
\naccomplished in me and he was <\/p>\n

159
\n00:10:05,200 –> 00:10:08,300
\nreckoned among the transgressors
\nfor the things concerning me <\/p>\n

160
\n00:10:08,300 –> 00:10:11,700
\nhave an end.
\nAnd they said, Lord behold. <\/p>\n

161
\n00:10:11,700 –> 00:10:15,300
\nHere are two swords and he said
\nunto them, it is enough. <\/p>\n

162
\n00:10:16,300 –> 00:10:19,200
\nAnd he came out at went as he
\nwas want to the Mount of Olives <\/p>\n

163
\n00:10:19,200 –> 00:10:23,000
\nand his disciples also followed
\nhim and when he was at the place<\/p>\n

164
\n00:10:23,000 –> 00:10:25,900
\nhe said unto them.
\nPray that ye enter not into <\/p>\n

165
\n00:10:25,900 –> 00:10:29,000
\ntemptation.
\nAnd he was withdrawn from them <\/p>\n

166
\n00:10:29,000 –> 00:10:33,800
\nabout a stone’s cast and kneeled
\ndown and prayed saying. <\/p>\n

167
\n00:10:34,400 –> 00:10:37,800
\nFather, if thou be willing
\nremove this cup from me, <\/p>\n

168
\n00:10:38,600 –> 00:10:41,400
\nnevertheless not my will but
\nthine be done. <\/p>\n

169
\n00:10:42,500 –> 00:10:44,600
\nAnd there appeared, an angel
\nunto him from Heaven, <\/p>\n

170
\n00:10:45,200 –> 00:10:48,700
\nstrengthening him, and being in
\nan Agony, he prayed more <\/p>\n

171
\n00:10:48,700 –> 00:10:52,500
\nearnestly and his sweat was, as
\nit were great drops of blood <\/p>\n

172
\n00:10:52,500 –> 00:10:56,200
\nfalling to the ground.
\nAnd what he rose up from prayer <\/p>\n

173
\n00:10:57,000 –> 00:11:00,800
\nand was come to his disciples,
\nhe found them sleeping for <\/p>\n

174
\n00:11:00,800 –> 00:11:06,100
\nsorrow and said unto them.
\nWhy sleepy rise and pray? <\/p>\n

175
\n00:11:06,100 –> 00:11:10,400
\nLest you enter into temptation
\nand while he yet, spake Behold a<\/p>\n

176
\n00:11:10,408 –> 00:11:13,300
\nmultitude and he that was called
\nJudas. <\/p>\n

177
\n00:11:13,800 –> 00:11:17,600
\nOne of the twelve went before
\nthem and Drew near unto Jesus to<\/p>\n

178
\n00:11:17,600 –> 00:11:21,600
\nkiss him.
\nBut Jesus said unto him, Judas, <\/p>\n

179
\n00:11:21,700 –> 00:11:24,100
\nbetray us, though, the son of
\nman with a kiss. <\/p>\n

180
\n00:11:25,500 –> 00:11:28,900
\nWhen they what you were about to
\nabout him, saw what would <\/p>\n

181
\n00:11:28,900 –> 00:11:31,100
\nfollow?
\nThey said unto him, Lord. <\/p>\n

182
\n00:11:31,300 –> 00:11:34,900
\nShall we, Smite with the sword
\nand one of them smoked, the <\/p>\n

183
\n00:11:34,900 –> 00:11:37,400
\nservant of the high priest and
\ncut off his right ear. <\/p>\n

184
\n00:11:38,200 –> 00:11:42,200
\nAnd Jesus answered and said,
\nsuffer you thus far and he <\/p>\n

185
\n00:11:42,200 –> 00:11:46,900
\ntouched his ear and healed him.
\nThen Jesus said unto the chief <\/p>\n

186
\n00:11:46,900 –> 00:11:49,500
\npriests and captains of the
\ntemple, and the elders, which <\/p>\n

187
\n00:11:49,500 –> 00:11:53,500
\nwere come to him, be come out as
\nagainst a thief with swords and <\/p>\n

188
\n00:11:53,500 –> 00:11:56,600
\nstaves, when I was daily with
\nyou, in the temple, you stretch <\/p>\n

189
\n00:11:56,600 –> 00:12:01,100
\nforth, No Hands against me.
\nBut this is your hour and the <\/p>\n

190
\n00:12:01,100 –> 00:12:06,000
\npower of Darkness.
\nThen took they him and let him <\/p>\n

191
\n00:12:06,600 –> 00:12:10,100
\nand brought him into the high
\npriests house and Peter followed<\/p>\n

192
\n00:12:10,100 –> 00:12:13,400
\nafar off.
\nAnd when they had kindled a fire<\/p>\n

193
\n00:12:13,400 –> 00:12:16,400
\nin the midst of the hall, and
\nwe’re sit down together, Peter <\/p>\n

194
\n00:12:16,400 –> 00:12:20,500
\nsat down among them.
\nBut a certain made be held him <\/p>\n

195
\n00:12:20,500 –> 00:12:23,800
\nas he sat by the fire and
\nearnestly, looked upon him and <\/p>\n

196
\n00:12:23,800 –> 00:12:29,900
\nsaid this man was also with him.
\nAnd he denied him saying woman, <\/p>\n

197
\n00:12:30,200 –> 00:12:33,300
\nI know I’m not.
\nAnd after a little while, <\/p>\n

198
\n00:12:33,300 –> 00:12:37,200
\nanother saw him and said, Thou
\nArt of also of them. <\/p>\n

199
\n00:12:37,700 –> 00:12:42,900
\nAnd Peter said, man, I am not.
\nAnd about the space of one hour <\/p>\n

200
\n00:12:43,100 –> 00:12:46,000
\nafter another confidently
\naffirmed saying of a truth. <\/p>\n

201
\n00:12:46,000 –> 00:12:50,800
\nThis fellow also was with him
\nfor he is a Galilean and Peter <\/p>\n

202
\n00:12:50,800 –> 00:12:53,600
\nsaid, man, I know not what thou
\nsayest. <\/p>\n

203
\n00:12:54,800 –> 00:12:59,200
\nAnd immediately while he yet
\nspake, the cock crew. <\/p>\n

204
\n00:13:00,300 –> 00:13:04,000
\nAnd the Lord turned.
\nAnd looked upon Peter. <\/p>\n

205
\n00:13:05,600 –> 00:13:08,800
\nAnd Peter remembered the word of
\nthe Lord, how he had said unto <\/p>\n

206
\n00:13:08,800 –> 00:13:12,500
\nhim before the cock Crow.
\nThou shalt deny me Thrice. <\/p>\n

207
\n00:13:13,900 –> 00:13:17,000
\nAnd Peter went out.
\nAnd wept bitterly. <\/p>\n

208
\n00:13:18,700 –> 00:13:21,600
\nAnd the men that held Jesus
\nmocked him and smote him. <\/p>\n

209
\n00:13:22,500 –> 00:13:25,100
\nAnd when they had blindfolded
\nhim, they struck him on the face<\/p>\n

210
\n00:13:25,100 –> 00:13:29,400
\nand I asked him saying prophesy,
\nwho is it that smote thee? <\/p>\n

211
\n00:13:30,700 –> 00:13:33,000
\nAnd many other things,
\nblasphemously spake, they <\/p>\n

212
\n00:13:33,000 –> 00:13:36,100
\nagainst him.
\nAnd as soon as it was day, the <\/p>\n

213
\n00:13:36,100 –> 00:13:38,700
\nElders of the people and the
\nchief priests and the scribes <\/p>\n

214
\n00:13:38,700 –> 00:13:43,300
\ncame together and led him into
\ntheir counsel saying art. <\/p>\n

215
\n00:13:43,300 –> 00:13:48,900
\nThou the Christ tell us and he
\nsaid unto them, if I tell you <\/p>\n

216
\n00:13:49,700 –> 00:13:54,700
\nyou will not believe and if I
\nalso ask you you will not answer<\/p>\n

217
\n00:13:54,700 –> 00:13:57,400
\nme nor let me go.
\nHereafter. <\/p>\n

218
\n00:13:57,400 –> 00:14:00,500
\nSo the son of man, sit on the
\nright hand of the power of God. <\/p>\n

219
\n00:14:01,600 –> 00:14:05,600
\nthen said they all art, thou
\nthen the Son of God and he said <\/p>\n

220
\n00:14:05,600 –> 00:14:10,500
\nunto them, ye say that I am And
\nthey said, what need? <\/p>\n

221
\n00:14:10,500 –> 00:14:14,000
\nWe have any further witness for
\nwe ourselves have heard of his <\/p>\n

222
\n00:14:14,000 –> 00:14:21,600
\nown mouth And so, when we take a
\nlook at this last day of the <\/p>\n

223
\n00:14:21,608 –> 00:14:23,700
\nLord’s life, the record would
\ncontinue. <\/p>\n

224
\n00:14:23,700 –> 00:14:28,400
\nOf course, as he goes before,
\nPilate But I wanted to just lay <\/p>\n

225
\n00:14:28,400 –> 00:14:31,400
\nout the timeline of the events
\nof this last day. <\/p>\n

226
\n00:14:31,400 –> 00:14:38,400
\nBeginning with the Last Supper.
\nSunset begins at 7 p.m. at this <\/p>\n

227
\n00:14:38,400 –> 00:14:41,700
\ntime of year in Israel.
\nAnd so it’s very likely that the<\/p>\n

228
\n00:14:41,700 –> 00:14:46,200
\nLast Supper would have started a
\nlittle after 7 p.m. at sunset. <\/p>\n

229
\n00:14:47,400 –> 00:14:50,100
\nWe know that Jesus spends a fair
\namount of time with his <\/p>\n

230
\n00:14:50,100 –> 00:14:51,800
\ndisciples walking through with
\nthem. <\/p>\n

231
\n00:14:51,800 –> 00:14:55,400
\nThe significance of what he’s
\ndoing eating this meal of <\/p>\n

232
\n00:14:55,400 –> 00:14:59,800
\nfellowship, and it’s amazing to
\nme that Jesus was able to focus <\/p>\n

233
\n00:15:00,000 –> 00:15:03,600
\non his disciples and trying to
\nhelp them despite all the things<\/p>\n

234
\n00:15:03,600 –> 00:15:05,700
\nthat were currently on his
\nplate. <\/p>\n

235
\n00:15:05,700 –> 00:15:07,700
\nTerms of what he had to deal
\nwith, in the rest of the <\/p>\n

236
\n00:15:07,700 –> 00:15:11,300
\nevening.
\nEventually Judas leaves, the <\/p>\n

237
\n00:15:11,300 –> 00:15:16,300
\nhouse goes to set it in motion.
\nThe final plans of betrayal and <\/p>\n

238
\n00:15:16,300 –> 00:15:20,400
\nJesus ends up leaving and going
\nto the Mount of Olives, to the <\/p>\n

239
\n00:15:20,400 –> 00:15:23,300
\nGarden of Gethsemane, where he
\noften went to pray. <\/p>\n

240
\n00:15:23,800 –> 00:15:27,900
\nRead about that in John, 13 and
\nverse 30 and in Matthew, 26, and<\/p>\n

241
\n00:15:27,900 –> 00:15:33,600
\nverse 40.
\nIt’s around midnight that Jesus <\/p>\n

242
\n00:15:33,600 –> 00:15:37,300
\nfinds himself in the house of
\nthe high priest, after being <\/p>\n

243
\n00:15:37,600 –> 00:15:40,500
\narrested because it’s at
\nmidnight, that Peters. <\/p>\n

244
\n00:15:40,500 –> 00:15:44,100
\nFirst denial takes place.
\nWe know that from the first cock<\/p>\n

245
\n00:15:44,100 –> 00:15:49,000
\ncrowing of the cock crowing was
\nnot a literal animal, a rooster <\/p>\n

246
\n00:15:49,000 –> 00:15:52,300
\nthat would Crow at night, but it
\nwas actually a trumpet that <\/p>\n

247
\n00:15:52,300 –> 00:15:55,100
\nwould blow to Mark The Changing
\nof the Guard that occurred every<\/p>\n

248
\n00:15:55,100 –> 00:15:58,000
\nthree hours.
\nAnd so there was one at 9:12 <\/p>\n

249
\n00:15:59,300 –> 00:16:01,600
\nthree.
\nAnd 6 a.m. <\/p>\n

250
\n00:16:02,200 –> 00:16:04,900
\nAnd so this first one that
\noccurred would have been the <\/p>\n

251
\n00:16:04,900 –> 00:16:08,200
\nmidnight one which follows
\nimmediately after Peters first <\/p>\n

252
\n00:16:08,200 –> 00:16:11,200
\ndenial and Mark Chapter 14 verse
\n68. <\/p>\n

253
\n00:16:12,200 –> 00:16:15,500
\nWe know that there’s two more
\ndenials by Peter before the cock<\/p>\n

254
\n00:16:15,500 –> 00:16:19,200
\ncrows for the second time which
\nwould have been yet the second <\/p>\n

255
\n00:16:19,200 –> 00:16:23,400
\nChanging of the Guard at 3 a.m.
\nAnd so, this third denial takes <\/p>\n

256
\n00:16:23,400 –> 00:16:30,500
\nplace in Mark 14 and verse 72.
\nFinally, Jesus is condemned at <\/p>\n

257
\n00:16:30,500 –> 00:16:34,800
\nthe end of Luke chapter 22 here
\nand he’s taken before Pilate <\/p>\n

258
\n00:16:34,900 –> 00:16:37,900
\nfirst thing in the morning, is
\nwhat we read in Matthew 27 verse<\/p>\n

259
\n00:16:37,900 –> 00:16:42,100
\n1 and Mark 15 and verse 1, which
\nwould have been around 6 a.m. <\/p>\n

260
\n00:16:42,100 –> 00:16:45,300
\nthat they go to Pilots house
\nearly to make sure that things <\/p>\n

261
\n00:16:45,300 –> 00:16:48,600
\nwere set in motion.
\nAnd then he was crucified before<\/p>\n

262
\n00:16:48,600 –> 00:16:52,300
\nthe Passover.
\nWe know that Jesus was crucified<\/p>\n

263
\n00:16:52,300 –> 00:16:56,300
\nat 9 a.m. and he hung on the
\ncross for six hours. <\/p>\n

264
\n00:16:57,200 –> 00:17:01,500
\nWe’re told that at 12 p.m.
\nDarkness covered the face of the<\/p>\n

265
\n00:17:01,500 –> 00:17:07,400
\nland for three hours until
\nfinally, at 3 p.m. the darkness,<\/p>\n

266
\n00:17:07,400 –> 00:17:11,599
\nlifted the Lord died as he
\nbreathed his last after <\/p>\n

267
\n00:17:11,599 –> 00:17:16,900
\nproclaiming Psalm 22 for all
\nthose who stood by And so, you <\/p>\n

268
\n00:17:16,900 –> 00:17:20,200
\ncan see that so many things
\ntranspired, that this was not <\/p>\n

269
\n00:17:20,200 –> 00:17:24,400
\nonly a long day, but a long
\nnight, one that would have left <\/p>\n

270
\n00:17:24,400 –> 00:17:26,700
\nJesus.
\nVery depleted, not only <\/p>\n

271
\n00:17:26,700 –> 00:17:30,400
\nphysically, but mentally and you
\ncan read here as well. <\/p>\n

272
\n00:17:30,400 –> 00:17:34,600
\nAnd Luke chapter 22 about how
\nmuch he was in agony and verse <\/p>\n

273
\n00:17:34,600 –> 00:17:38,700
\n44, as he prayed very earnestly
\nthat if there was any other way <\/p>\n

274
\n00:17:38,700 –> 00:17:42,300
\npossible that his father would
\nprovide it for him. <\/p>\n

275
\n00:17:44,300 –> 00:17:47,800
\nBut despite what Jesus went
\nthrough, he was able to focus on<\/p>\n

276
\n00:17:47,800 –> 00:17:51,500
\nhow he could help his disciples.
\nAnd so if we back up in the <\/p>\n

277
\n00:17:51,500 –> 00:17:57,800
\nrecord to the beginning of Luke
\nchapter 22, now was the time for<\/p>\n

278
\n00:17:57,800 –> 00:18:02,400
\nthe Last Supper to take place
\nand so Jesus sends his disciples<\/p>\n

279
\n00:18:02,400 –> 00:18:06,600
\ntwo of his closest disciples
\nPeter and John and Luke 22 and <\/p>\n

280
\n00:18:06,600 –> 00:18:10,500
\nverse 8 to go and make the final
\npreparations so that they would <\/p>\n

281
\n00:18:10,500 –> 00:18:14,000
\nbe able to have this last meal
\nof Fellowship together. <\/p>\n

282
\n00:18:14,700 –> 00:18:18,400
\nAnd being cognizant of the fact
\nthat Judas had set the plans in <\/p>\n

283
\n00:18:18,400 –> 00:18:21,600
\nmotion that he had already
\ncovenanted with the Jewish <\/p>\n

284
\n00:18:21,600 –> 00:18:25,000
\nleaders to betray him.
\nHe didn’t want to give too much <\/p>\n

285
\n00:18:25,000 –> 00:18:28,000
\ninformation about the exact
\nlocation because Jesus didn’t <\/p>\n

286
\n00:18:28,000 –> 00:18:32,100
\nwant this final Gathering to be
\ndisturbed and broken up. <\/p>\n

287
\n00:18:32,100 –> 00:18:36,300
\nPrematurely he needed to prepare
\nhis disciples for what lay ahead<\/p>\n

288
\n00:18:36,300 –> 00:18:39,200
\nof them.
\nThe disciples really didn’t <\/p>\n

289
\n00:18:39,200 –> 00:18:43,600
\nunderstand that Jesus was going
\nto need to die even though Jesus<\/p>\n

290
\n00:18:43,600 –> 00:18:45,300
\nhad told them on multiple
\noccasions. <\/p>\n

291
\n00:18:45,300 –> 00:18:48,400
\nIt just it didn’t line up with
\ntheir expectation of what <\/p>\n

292
\n00:18:48,400 –> 00:18:52,300
\nMessiah was going to accomplish.
\nAnd so Jesus needed to work with<\/p>\n

293
\n00:18:52,300 –> 00:18:55,700
\nthem to prepare them for what
\nwas going to take place because <\/p>\n

294
\n00:18:55,700 –> 00:18:57,500
\nhe needed them to get through
\nthis. <\/p>\n

295
\n00:18:57,500 –> 00:19:00,900
\nHe needed their faith, to help
\nthem get through this trial, <\/p>\n

296
\n00:19:00,900 –> 00:19:04,600
\nthat was before them.
\nAnd so, Peter, and John are sent<\/p>\n

297
\n00:19:04,800 –> 00:19:06,700
\nto do the preparations for the
\nPassover. <\/p>\n

298
\n00:19:06,700 –> 00:19:10,500
\nAnd it’s interesting because,
\nPeter and John were both very <\/p>\n

299
\n00:19:10,500 –> 00:19:14,100
\ndifferent, but we’re very much
\nthe same in regards to their <\/p>\n

300
\n00:19:14,100 –> 00:19:18,000
\ndesire to be with the Lord, and
\nJesus pairs up these two <\/p>\n

301
\n00:19:18,000 –> 00:19:21,700
\ndisciples even though there was
\na little bit of sensitivity <\/p>\n

302
\n00:19:21,700 –> 00:19:25,800
\nbetween them as to, who would be
\nthe greatest because he needed <\/p>\n

303
\n00:19:25,800 –> 00:19:29,800
\nthem to learn to work together.
\nAnd isn’t that so often the case<\/p>\n

304
\n00:19:29,800 –> 00:19:32,800
\nfor us, that we might be paired
\nup in the truth with brothers <\/p>\n

305
\n00:19:32,800 –> 00:19:37,700
\nand sisters, other members of
\nour Ecclesia who perhaps were a <\/p>\n

306
\n00:19:37,700 –> 00:19:40,500
\nlittle bit.
\nDissimilar from we aligned on <\/p>\n

307
\n00:19:40,500 –> 00:19:43,100
\nour purpose and our desire to be
\nwith Christ. <\/p>\n

308
\n00:19:43,700 –> 00:19:46,900
\nBut God provides us an
\nopportunity to work with those <\/p>\n

309
\n00:19:47,300 –> 00:19:51,100
\nwho may not be quite the same as
\nus because this constructive <\/p>\n

310
\n00:19:51,100 –> 00:19:54,000
\nirritation is meant to drive the
\ndevelopment of our character <\/p>\n

311
\n00:19:54,000 –> 00:19:58,100
\nthat God truly wants.
\nAnd it’s this friction this iron<\/p>\n

312
\n00:19:58,400 –> 00:20:02,100
\nagainst iron that ultimately
\nstrengthens the countenance of <\/p>\n

313
\n00:20:02,400 –> 00:20:06,000
\none, friend to another.
\nAnd so Jesus, knowing this <\/p>\n

314
\n00:20:06,000 –> 00:20:09,700
\npairs, Peter and John together.
\nTo give them this opportunity to<\/p>\n

315
\n00:20:09,700 –> 00:20:14,000
\nsharpen the countenance of their
\nfriend and to work together in <\/p>\n

316
\n00:20:14,000 –> 00:20:17,400
\nthis regard.
\nAnd so they find the right <\/p>\n

317
\n00:20:17,400 –> 00:20:21,100
\nlocation following the man that
\nJesus had told them to look for <\/p>\n

318
\n00:20:21,600 –> 00:20:24,800
\nand they arrived at the upper
\nroom and find it furnished. <\/p>\n

319
\n00:20:25,600 –> 00:20:28,400
\nNow, when the other disciples
\nwould have arrived with Jesus, <\/p>\n

320
\n00:20:28,400 –> 00:20:32,000
\nit would have been customary for
\nthere to be a servant in place <\/p>\n

321
\n00:20:32,300 –> 00:20:35,400
\nto wash the feet of those who
\nare coming for the meal. <\/p>\n

322
\n00:20:36,400 –> 00:20:39,700
\nIt doesn’t seem though that
\nthere was a servant because it’s<\/p>\n

323
\n00:20:39,700 –> 00:20:43,800
\nnot until after supper is Ended
\nas we read in John Chapter 13, <\/p>\n

324
\n00:20:44,600 –> 00:20:49,300
\nthat Jesus actually, washes the
\nfeet of his disciples and you <\/p>\n

325
\n00:20:49,300 –> 00:20:53,500
\nwonder Peter and John had just
\ngot done watching watching this <\/p>\n

326
\n00:20:53,500 –> 00:20:55,400
\nwater pot on the head of this
\nman. <\/p>\n

327
\n00:20:55,600 –> 00:20:57,600
\nGo through the town because
\nthat’s what they were told to <\/p>\n

328
\n00:20:57,600 –> 00:21:00,400
\nlook for a man.
\nThat was carrying a water pot on<\/p>\n

329
\n00:21:00,400 –> 00:21:03,100
\nhis head.
\nAnd this water pot, no doubt <\/p>\n

330
\n00:21:03,100 –> 00:21:05,800
\nwould have been the one that was
\nset in the upper room for the <\/p>\n

331
\n00:21:05,800 –> 00:21:09,100
\nwashing of the feet of the
\ndisciples and you wonder well, <\/p>\n

332
\n00:21:09,100 –> 00:21:12,100
\nwhy wouldn’t Peter or John?
\nOr one of the other disciples <\/p>\n

333
\n00:21:12,100 –> 00:21:14,700
\nhave done it?
\nAnd then he stopped to think <\/p>\n

334
\n00:21:14,700 –> 00:21:17,700
\nabout what was the dynamic right
\nnow, what was going on, what was<\/p>\n

335
\n00:21:17,700 –> 00:21:19,800
\nit?
\nThat Jesus was actually dealing <\/p>\n

336
\n00:21:19,800 –> 00:21:22,000
\nwith.
\nWell as you read through the <\/p>\n

337
\n00:21:22,000 –> 00:21:25,900
\ngospel account, you find that
\nwhat Jesus was contending with <\/p>\n

338
\n00:21:26,500 –> 00:21:30,100
\nwas and a continual in fighting
\nwith the disciples as to, who <\/p>\n

339
\n00:21:30,100 –> 00:21:33,300
\nwould be the greatest.
\nBecause they all realize that <\/p>\n

340
\n00:21:33,300 –> 00:21:36,000
\nthe kingdom was going to be
\nestablished at some point. <\/p>\n

341
\n00:21:36,400 –> 00:21:38,300
\nAnd so, there were jockeying for
\nposition. <\/p>\n

342
\n00:21:38,300 –> 00:21:41,100
\nAs to who would have the seat at
\nthe right-hand seat. <\/p>\n

343
\n00:21:41,100 –> 00:21:44,800
\nAt the left hand, the one that
\nwould be the most prominent and <\/p>\n

344
\n00:21:44,800 –> 00:21:48,100
\nsort of take out a roll of
\nwashing, the feet of the others.<\/p>\n

345
\n00:21:49,000 –> 00:21:50,800
\nWell, that would have been an
\nopen recognition that they <\/p>\n

346
\n00:21:50,800 –> 00:21:54,300
\nweren’t the greatest.
\nIn fact, it seems that when they<\/p>\n

347
\n00:21:54,300 –> 00:21:58,800
\ncame into the room, that there
\nwas some argument about, who was<\/p>\n

348
\n00:21:58,800 –> 00:22:03,100
\nthe greatest, because that drove
\nwho was going to That we’re in <\/p>\n

349
\n00:22:03,108 –> 00:22:04,600
\nfact.
\nJesus had already given a <\/p>\n

350
\n00:22:04,608 –> 00:22:08,000
\nparable in his ministry, about
\nwhen you come to a feast, how <\/p>\n

351
\n00:22:08,000 –> 00:22:11,700
\nyou should take the lowest seat
\nin the house and perhaps there <\/p>\n

352
\n00:22:11,700 –> 00:22:14,300
\nwas an argument that took place
\nwhen they entered into the <\/p>\n

353
\n00:22:14,300 –> 00:22:17,800
\nhouse, that resulted in the
\nseating configuration that I’ll <\/p>\n

354
\n00:22:17,800 –> 00:22:21,700
\nshow in a moment.
\nBut while this is taking place, <\/p>\n

355
\n00:22:22,000 –> 00:22:25,000
\nwhile the Last Supper is going
\non in there, you’re enjoying <\/p>\n

356
\n00:22:25,000 –> 00:22:29,000
\nthis meal together.
\nJesus actually Rises up in the <\/p>\n

357
\n00:22:29,008 –> 00:22:32,200
\nmidst of it and I believe that
\nthe reason that he rises up in <\/p>\n

358
\n00:22:32,200 –> 00:22:37,000
\nJohn Chapter 13 is because the
\ndisciples were in the midst of <\/p>\n

359
\n00:22:37,000 –> 00:22:40,400
\nthis argument about who it was.
\nThat was going to be the <\/p>\n

360
\n00:22:40,400 –> 00:22:43,100
\ngreatest.
\nAnd you can imagine from Jesus <\/p>\n

361
\n00:22:43,100 –> 00:22:45,500
\nperspective, how much of a
\nchallenge just would have been <\/p>\n

362
\n00:22:46,100 –> 00:22:47,700
\nthat.
\nHe knows that he has less than <\/p>\n

363
\n00:22:47,700 –> 00:22:50,700
\n24 hours left.
\nHe’s looking at the current <\/p>\n

364
\n00:22:50,700 –> 00:22:53,600
\nstate of the disciples and how
\nthey’re arguing amongst <\/p>\n

365
\n00:22:53,600 –> 00:22:58,600
\nthemselves and he continually
\ntrying to refocus their minds. <\/p>\n

366
\n00:22:59,500 –> 00:23:03,000
\nAnd so, instead of saying
\nsomething at this point, he <\/p>\n

367
\n00:23:03,000 –> 00:23:08,000
\nsimply Rises up and John Chapter
\n13 and gird himself with the <\/p>\n

368
\n00:23:08,000 –> 00:23:13,300
\nclose of the servant, takes a
\nrag in his hand and walks over <\/p>\n

369
\n00:23:13,300 –> 00:23:15,900
\nto the water pot.
\nAnd you can imagine how the <\/p>\n

370
\n00:23:15,900 –> 00:23:19,200
\ndisciples would have been
\nawestruck as they watch. <\/p>\n

371
\n00:23:19,200 –> 00:23:21,200
\nWhat was Taking place.
\nThere would have been confused <\/p>\n

372
\n00:23:21,200 –> 00:23:25,500
\nas to what exactly is he doing,
\nbut then not only to their <\/p>\n

373
\n00:23:25,500 –> 00:23:31,400
\nshock, but also, to their horror
\nJesus, then proceeded to take <\/p>\n

374
\n00:23:31,400 –> 00:23:35,900
\nthe rag and to wash the feet of
\nhis disciples. <\/p>\n

375
\n00:23:37,100 –> 00:23:40,300
\nAnd one by one.
\nYou can imagine that each of <\/p>\n

376
\n00:23:40,300 –> 00:23:44,600
\nthem would have been shocked
\ninto silence, as he washed the <\/p>\n

377
\n00:23:44,600 –> 00:23:47,800
\nfeet of his disciples.
\nAnd as he taught them by his <\/p>\n

378
\n00:23:47,800 –> 00:23:51,900
\nactions, that they needed to be
\nlooking to serve one another, <\/p>\n

379
\n00:23:52,300 –> 00:23:55,700
\nnot to elevate themselves above
\nthe other person. <\/p>\n

380
\n00:23:56,700 –> 00:23:59,800
\nAnd so, in this hour, when Jesus
\nwas trying to prepare them the <\/p>\n

381
\n00:23:59,800 –> 00:24:04,800
\nmost They were fighting and
\nJesus sets the example through <\/p>\n

382
\n00:24:04,800 –> 00:24:09,500
\nhis behavior and then follows it
\nup with his speech that those of<\/p>\n

383
\n00:24:09,500 –> 00:24:12,000
\nthe Gentiles seek to be the
\ngreatest. <\/p>\n

384
\n00:24:12,000 –> 00:24:15,200
\nBut he said if you want to be
\nthe greatest, then you have to <\/p>\n

385
\n00:24:15,200 –> 00:24:18,200
\nbe servant of all, you have to
\nmake sure that you have the <\/p>\n

386
\n00:24:18,208 –> 00:24:22,600
\nhumility to serve others.
\nAnd so you know, the patients <\/p>\n

387
\n00:24:22,600 –> 00:24:26,600
\nhere of Our Lord, with his
\nfamily, sometimes we might be in<\/p>\n

388
\n00:24:26,600 –> 00:24:30,300
\nthe midst of a family situation,
\nwhere there’s in fighting or <\/p>\n

389
\n00:24:30,300 –> 00:24:33,300
\narguing, Perhaps we’ve
\nexperienced a few of those <\/p>\n

390
\n00:24:33,300 –> 00:24:36,800
\ncircumstances over the last
\nnumber of weeks and we can tend <\/p>\n

391
\n00:24:36,800 –> 00:24:40,500
\nto get impatient especially if
\nwe have some stress on our own <\/p>\n

392
\n00:24:40,500 –> 00:24:44,500
\nplate and maybe we’re not quite
\nat a hundred percent in terms of<\/p>\n

393
\n00:24:44,500 –> 00:24:46,600
\nour energy level or our own
\nmotivation. <\/p>\n

394
\n00:24:47,300 –> 00:24:50,800
\nBut take a look here at the
\npatients that the Lord has with <\/p>\n

395
\n00:24:50,800 –> 00:24:53,800
\nthe members of his family.
\nRemember how he said back in, <\/p>\n

396
\n00:24:53,800 –> 00:24:57,900
\nMark chapter 3, behold my mother
\nand my brethren, those who do <\/p>\n

397
\n00:24:57,900 –> 00:25:01,200
\nthe will of my father.
\nAnd he had this patients with <\/p>\n

398
\n00:25:01,200 –> 00:25:04,100
\nhis disciples, to try to work
\nthem through him. <\/p>\n

399
\n00:25:05,500 –> 00:25:10,000
\nBut when he gets to Peter and
\nJohn 13 and verse 7 Peters, <\/p>\n

400
\n00:25:10,000 –> 00:25:12,200
\nreally not on board with what
\nJesus is doing. <\/p>\n

401
\n00:25:13,300 –> 00:25:18,400
\nPeter says to Jesus, are you
\nreally going to wash my feet and<\/p>\n

402
\n00:25:18,400 –> 00:25:22,100
\nJesus responds by telling Peter
\nand verse 7 that even though <\/p>\n

403
\n00:25:22,100 –> 00:25:25,700
\nPeter didn’t understand it now
\nthat he would eventually <\/p>\n

404
\n00:25:25,700 –> 00:25:29,900
\nunderstand.
\nBut Peter really isn’t going to <\/p>\n

405
\n00:25:29,900 –> 00:25:34,500
\nhave it because in John 13 and
\nverse 8, he essentially says to <\/p>\n

406
\n00:25:34,500 –> 00:25:40,100
\nJesus, Thou shalt never wash my
\nfeet and the Greek has a level <\/p>\n

407
\n00:25:40,100 –> 00:25:43,800
\nof certainty to it.
\nAnd that never is repeated two <\/p>\n

408
\n00:25:43,800 –> 00:25:46,600
\ntimes.
\nThe actual Greek reads, Thou <\/p>\n

409
\n00:25:46,600 –> 00:25:52,700
\nshalt never ever wash my feet.
\nIt’s not happening Lord, and <\/p>\n

410
\n00:25:52,700 –> 00:25:57,200
\nJesus tells Peter that unless he
\naccepts his Lord’s service on <\/p>\n

411
\n00:25:57,200 –> 00:25:58,100
\nhis behalf.
\nF. <\/p>\n

412
\n00:25:59,500 –> 00:26:03,100
\nThat he has no part of him.
\nAnd what Peter is missing here <\/p>\n

413
\n00:26:03,100 –> 00:26:06,200
\nis that he’s not going to be
\nable to do it in his own <\/p>\n

414
\n00:26:06,200 –> 00:26:09,200
\nstrength.
\nThis is what Jesus is trying to <\/p>\n

415
\n00:26:09,200 –> 00:26:13,400
\nwork through with Peter and with
\nthe rest of the disciples to get<\/p>\n

416
\n00:26:13,400 –> 00:26:17,600
\nthem to realize that they need
\neach other, and they ultimately <\/p>\n

417
\n00:26:18,000 –> 00:26:21,100
\nneed Christ.
\nIn this case, Peter needed to <\/p>\n

418
\n00:26:21,100 –> 00:26:24,700
\naccept the Lord service on his
\nbehalf, he needed to be willing <\/p>\n

419
\n00:26:24,700 –> 00:26:28,000
\nto accept his Lord’s,
\nforgiveness to wash away his <\/p>\n

420
\n00:26:28,000 –> 00:26:31,600
\nsins.
\nBut before we can never accept <\/p>\n

421
\n00:26:31,600 –> 00:26:36,500
\nforgiveness, we first have to
\nhave the humility to recognize <\/p>\n

422
\n00:26:36,500 –> 00:26:40,300
\nwhat it is that we’ve done wrong
\nthat we need forgiveness and the<\/p>\n

423
\n00:26:40,300 –> 00:26:43,800
\nsecond piece that Peter needed
\nto develop, was to develop the <\/p>\n

424
\n00:26:43,800 –> 00:26:47,400
\nmind of the servant.
\nIf Peter was really going to be <\/p>\n

425
\n00:26:47,400 –> 00:26:51,600
\neffective in the role of the
\nrock that Jesus had for him of <\/p>\n

426
\n00:26:51,600 –> 00:26:55,800
\nbeing part of that Foundation,
\nthat would build the Ecclesia or<\/p>\n

427
\n00:26:55,800 –> 00:26:59,100
\nthat Jesus would build the
\nEcclesia on he would need to <\/p>\n

428
\n00:26:59,300 –> 00:27:03,700
\nEarn service and being great
\ndoesn’t mean being served by <\/p>\n

429
\n00:27:03,700 –> 00:27:07,200
\nothers.
\nIt means serving and Jesus <\/p>\n

430
\n00:27:07,200 –> 00:27:09,700
\ndidn’t serve because of his
\ndesire to be great. <\/p>\n

431
\n00:27:10,300 –> 00:27:14,100
\nJesus served because he was
\ngreat and that’s what he was <\/p>\n

432
\n00:27:14,100 –> 00:27:17,200
\ntrying to teach his disciples
\nthat this is what great people <\/p>\n

433
\n00:27:17,200 –> 00:27:19,700
\ndo that.
\nEven when they have a lot on <\/p>\n

434
\n00:27:19,700 –> 00:27:22,600
\ntheir own plate, they’re
\nthinking about others. <\/p>\n

435
\n00:27:23,100 –> 00:27:25,800
\nThey’re putting those things to
\nthe side. <\/p>\n

436
\n00:27:26,900 –> 00:27:29,100
\nAnd it all boils down to
\nhumility. <\/p>\n

437
\n00:27:29,700 –> 00:27:34,400
\nHumility to accept that.
\nWe need the help of our Lord and<\/p>\n

438
\n00:27:34,400 –> 00:27:37,000
\nhumility to accept that we can’t
\ndo it on our own. <\/p>\n

439
\n00:27:38,100 –> 00:27:41,900
\nAnd the desire to serve others
\nto help them in the areas where <\/p>\n

440
\n00:27:41,900 –> 00:27:45,200
\nthey need help.
\nBut at this point, the disciples<\/p>\n

441
\n00:27:45,200 –> 00:27:48,300
\nwere too focused on self to
\nreally get it. <\/p>\n

442
\n00:27:49,500 –> 00:27:54,100
\nAnd selfishness is the Silent
\nAssassin of humility. <\/p>\n

443
\n00:27:55,000 –> 00:27:58,400
\nIt prevents us from really
\nlooking introspectively at the <\/p>\n

444
\n00:27:58,400 –> 00:28:03,300
\nareas where we need help, but
\nJesus is selflessness allowed <\/p>\n

445
\n00:28:03,300 –> 00:28:07,400
\nhim to humbly serve and Jesus
\ncontinues on now, to show <\/p>\n

446
\n00:28:07,400 –> 00:28:11,800
\nanother demonstration of his
\nselflessness, after washing the <\/p>\n

447
\n00:28:11,800 –> 00:28:16,000
\nfeet of his disciples, he
\nestablishes the bread and the <\/p>\n

448
\n00:28:16,008 –> 00:28:18,800
\nwine.
\nAnd he creates this Memorial <\/p>\n

449
\n00:28:18,800 –> 00:28:22,400
\nthat, he knew that both the
\ndisciples and all those who <\/p>\n

450
\n00:28:22,400 –> 00:28:26,100
\nwould seek to serve him over
\ntime would need to really help <\/p>\n

451
\n00:28:26,100 –> 00:28:28,500
\nthem.
\nRemember the work of the Lord <\/p>\n

452
\n00:28:28,500 –> 00:28:32,700
\nJesus Christ but in the course
\nof doing this he reveals to them<\/p>\n

453
\n00:28:32,700 –> 00:28:37,700
\nthat one of them was going to
\nbetray him and they all begin to<\/p>\n

454
\n00:28:37,700 –> 00:28:40,600
\ntry to figure out who it is that
\nwas going to betray him. <\/p>\n

455
\n00:28:40,600 –> 00:28:45,000
\nAnd it degrades again into an
\nargument about who was the <\/p>\n

456
\n00:28:45,000 –> 00:28:49,700
\ngreatest as we see in Luke.
\nTwo verses 24 to 30 and you can <\/p>\n

457
\n00:28:49,700 –> 00:28:52,700
\nimagine how this would happen
\nthat they would begin to wonder.<\/p>\n

458
\n00:28:52,700 –> 00:28:55,100
\nWell, who would ever do that?
\nWho would betray the Lord? <\/p>\n

459
\n00:28:55,700 –> 00:28:58,400
\nAnd they would look from one to
\nthe other of who was the most <\/p>\n

460
\n00:28:58,400 –> 00:29:01,800
\nprominent who was the least
\nloyal and it would revert back <\/p>\n

461
\n00:29:01,800 –> 00:29:04,300
\nto this argument that they were
\nhaving before. <\/p>\n

462
\n00:29:05,400 –> 00:29:07,800
\nIt seems that Peter would have
\nfeatured prominently in this <\/p>\n

463
\n00:29:07,800 –> 00:29:10,600
\nargument because Jesus has to
\nspeak to him. <\/p>\n

464
\n00:29:10,600 –> 00:29:14,300
\nIndividually.
\nIn Luke chapter 22, he has to <\/p>\n

465
\n00:29:14,300 –> 00:29:18,500
\nsay his name to times and Luke
\n22 and verse 31, Simon. <\/p>\n

466
\n00:29:19,100 –> 00:29:22,300
\nSimon.
\nAnd you can imagine how this <\/p>\n

467
\n00:29:22,300 –> 00:29:26,500
\nwould have stunned, Simon Peter
\nas he now step back and <\/p>\n

468
\n00:29:26,500 –> 00:29:29,000
\nreflected on what his Lord was
\nabout to say to him. <\/p>\n

469
\n00:29:30,000 –> 00:29:34,500
\nHe says to him Simon Satan hath
\ndesired to have you that he may <\/p>\n

470
\n00:29:34,500 –> 00:29:37,400
\nsift.
\nYou as wheat, but I have prayed <\/p>\n

471
\n00:29:37,400 –> 00:29:39,300
\nfor thee that thy faith, fail
\nnot. <\/p>\n

472
\n00:29:40,000 –> 00:29:45,500
\nAnd when thou art converted
\nstrengthen thy brethren, And <\/p>\n

473
\n00:29:45,500 –> 00:29:50,400
\nwhat Jesus says here is actually
\ntwo things, he appeals to Simon <\/p>\n

474
\n00:29:50,400 –> 00:29:53,500
\nPeter to lead.
\nHe says, I need you to lead your<\/p>\n

475
\n00:29:53,500 –> 00:29:56,400
\nbrethren.
\nI’ve prayed for all of you in <\/p>\n

476
\n00:29:56,400 –> 00:30:00,200
\nverse 31 that were for you that
\noccurs twice as plural. <\/p>\n

477
\n00:30:00,200 –> 00:30:04,100
\nI prayed for all of you as the
\ndisciples because Satan has <\/p>\n

478
\n00:30:04,100 –> 00:30:06,300
\ndesired to have you who was
\nSatan? <\/p>\n

479
\n00:30:06,300 –> 00:30:09,000
\nWhat was the adversary?
\nWho was the adversary here? <\/p>\n

480
\n00:30:09,000 –> 00:30:12,300
\nIt was the Jewish leaders, the
\nJewish leaders were looking for <\/p>\n

481
\n00:30:12,300 –> 00:30:15,900
\nthe weak links in the in the
\ndisciples as How it is that they<\/p>\n

482
\n00:30:15,900 –> 00:30:19,400
\ncould get inroads to Jesus
\nChrist, to be able to overthrow <\/p>\n

483
\n00:30:19,400 –> 00:30:21,500
\nhim.
\nThey had found those inroads <\/p>\n

484
\n00:30:21,500 –> 00:30:25,300
\nwith Judas, but Jesus said, I’ve
\nbeen praying for all of you <\/p>\n

485
\n00:30:25,900 –> 00:30:30,800
\nbecause the adversary the Jewish
\nleaders are trying to get all of<\/p>\n

486
\n00:30:30,800 –> 00:30:34,300
\nyou to turn against me or to
\nfind a way for you to betray me.<\/p>\n

487
\n00:30:34,300 –> 00:30:40,600
\nBut Simon, I have prayed for you
\nand that word the that I and <\/p>\n

488
\n00:30:40,600 –> 00:30:45,600
\nthou that comes up in verse 32
\nis singular, I was Specifically <\/p>\n

489
\n00:30:45,600 –> 00:30:51,200
\nprayed for you Peter and when
\nyou are converted, strengthen <\/p>\n

490
\n00:30:51,600 –> 00:30:55,000
\nyour brethren.
\nBut just imagine how this would <\/p>\n

491
\n00:30:55,000 –> 00:30:56,800
\nhave been received by Simon
\nPeter. <\/p>\n

492
\n00:30:56,800 –> 00:31:01,900
\nIn this instance, Simon, Peter
\nwas one who was very loyal to <\/p>\n

493
\n00:31:01,900 –> 00:31:06,300
\nChrist or professedly loyal?
\nHe was the one that got out of <\/p>\n

494
\n00:31:06,300 –> 00:31:09,300
\nthe boat and walked to Jesus.
\nHe was always at the front of <\/p>\n

495
\n00:31:09,300 –> 00:31:12,300
\nthe crowd with his Lord.
\nHe wanted nothing more than to <\/p>\n

496
\n00:31:12,300 –> 00:31:16,200
\nbe with his Lord in every
\ninstance and now he’s being <\/p>\n

497
\n00:31:16,300 –> 00:31:21,000
\nsingled out in an argument.
\nHe’s being told that Jesus was <\/p>\n

498
\n00:31:21,000 –> 00:31:23,000
\noffering special prayers for
\nhim. <\/p>\n

499
\n00:31:23,500 –> 00:31:25,400
\nAbove the others because he
\nneeded it. <\/p>\n

500
\n00:31:26,300 –> 00:31:29,800
\nAnd he’s being told by Jesus,
\nwhen you’re converted, <\/p>\n

501
\n00:31:29,800 –> 00:31:33,500
\nstrengthen your brethren.
\nThat after three and a half <\/p>\n

502
\n00:31:33,500 –> 00:31:37,100
\nyears, Peter wasn’t, yet
\nconverted. <\/p>\n

503
\n00:31:37,100 –> 00:31:40,900
\nHe hadn’t made the necessary
\ntransformation, that Jesus <\/p>\n

504
\n00:31:40,900 –> 00:31:44,100
\nneeded him to make.
\nAnd we don’t have to imagine how<\/p>\n

505
\n00:31:44,100 –> 00:31:48,200
\nPeter receive that, because we
\nread in Luke 22 and verse 33, <\/p>\n

506
\n00:31:48,200 –> 00:31:50,700
\nhow it is that Peter received
\nit. <\/p>\n

507
\n00:31:50,700 –> 00:31:54,400
\nHe says unto him.
\nLord, I am ready to go with the <\/p>\n

508
\n00:31:54,400 –> 00:31:59,200
\nboth into prison and And in to
\ndeath, but Jesus tells him in <\/p>\n

509
\n00:31:59,200 –> 00:32:03,200
\nLuke, 22 and verse 34, that
\nPeter I’m telling you this very <\/p>\n

510
\n00:32:03,200 –> 00:32:06,400
\nday.
\nYou’re going to deny that you <\/p>\n

511
\n00:32:06,400 –> 00:32:10,000
\neven know who I am.
\nNever mind this business of <\/p>\n

512
\n00:32:10,000 –> 00:32:11,900
\ndying with me.
\nYou’re not even going to <\/p>\n

513
\n00:32:11,900 –> 00:32:16,900
\nacknowledge that you know who I
\nam by the end of the day. <\/p>\n

514
\n00:32:18,700 –> 00:32:22,300
\nJesus isn’t looking for an
\nargument here with Peter, or <\/p>\n

515
\n00:32:22,300 –> 00:32:25,500
\nwith any of the other disciples.
\nHe’s not looking to hurt Peter, <\/p>\n

516
\n00:32:26,300 –> 00:32:28,300
\nbut he’s trying to prepare Peter
\nfor what? <\/p>\n

517
\n00:32:28,300 –> 00:32:31,000
\nLay ahead.
\nHe wants Peter to know that <\/p>\n

518
\n00:32:31,300 –> 00:32:34,900
\nPeters confidence and self isn’t
\nwell founded. <\/p>\n

519
\n00:32:35,300 –> 00:32:39,600
\nHe knows that Peters going to
\nfall but he doesn’t want Peter <\/p>\n

520
\n00:32:39,700 –> 00:32:43,300
\nto fail.
\nPeter’s not taking it this way <\/p>\n

521
\n00:32:43,300 –> 00:32:46,300
\nat this point.
\nHe may have been stung into <\/p>\n

522
\n00:32:46,300 –> 00:32:50,000
\nsilence temporarily.
\nBut just because you have <\/p>\n

523
\n00:32:50,000 –> 00:32:53,700
\nsilenced, a man does not mean
\nyou have converted him. <\/p>\n

524
\n00:32:54,800 –> 00:32:59,000
\nAnd so Peter continues to see
\nthem this point as the evening <\/p>\n

525
\n00:32:59,000 –> 00:33:02,100
\nprogresses.
\nThere’s two more times that come<\/p>\n

526
\n00:33:02,100 –> 00:33:06,100
\nup as Peter questions.
\nThe Lord, and profess his own <\/p>\n

527
\n00:33:06,100 –> 00:33:09,700
\nloyalty, only to have Jesus,
\ntell him two more times that <\/p>\n

528
\n00:33:09,700 –> 00:33:13,500
\nPeter, you’re not where you
\nthink you are, you’re not really<\/p>\n

529
\n00:33:13,500 –> 00:33:18,600
\nready to that extent. but Peter
\ncontinues to think about it and <\/p>\n

530
\n00:33:18,600 –> 00:33:22,500
\nhe beckons to John, who was
\nsitting across the table to <\/p>\n

531
\n00:33:22,500 –> 00:33:26,100
\ninquire of the Lord who it was,
\nthat would betray him because <\/p>\n

532
\n00:33:26,100 –> 00:33:30,000
\nPeter is intent on finding out
\nwho this is and you wonder well <\/p>\n

533
\n00:33:30,000 –> 00:33:35,000
\nhow is it that Jesus would have
\nbeen able to tell John, but <\/p>\n

534
\n00:33:35,000 –> 00:33:38,800
\nPeter wouldn’t be able to hear
\nWell as you take a look at this <\/p>\n

535
\n00:33:38,800 –> 00:33:44,400
\nslide, this is one suggestion by
\nedersheim as to how it is that <\/p>\n

536
\n00:33:44,400 –> 00:33:46,700
\nthe layout would have been at
\nthe Last Supper. <\/p>\n

537
\n00:33:47,900 –> 00:33:51,600
\nPeter was sitting actually it
\nwould seem in the lowest seat in<\/p>\n

538
\n00:33:51,600 –> 00:33:55,000
\nthe house, as was shown over
\nhere on the right perhaps, as <\/p>\n

539
\n00:33:55,000 –> 00:33:57,400
\nthey entered, the argument took
\nplace as to, who was the <\/p>\n

540
\n00:33:57,400 –> 00:34:02,200
\ngreatest and our Lord, as in
\nother cases, would have had to <\/p>\n

541
\n00:34:02,200 –> 00:34:06,600
\ncorrect his disciples and Peter.
\nPerhaps, at this point took the <\/p>\n

542
\n00:34:06,600 –> 00:34:09,900
\nlowest seat at the table having
\nbeen rebuked by the Lord for the<\/p>\n

543
\n00:34:09,900 –> 00:34:13,100
\nargument.
\nJudas on the other hand does not<\/p>\n

544
\n00:34:13,100 –> 00:34:16,000
\ndo that.
\nJudas finds himself in the chief<\/p>\n

545
\n00:34:16,000 –> 00:34:19,699
\nseat would gives us an
\nestimation or an understanding <\/p>\n

546
\n00:34:19,699 –> 00:34:24,199
\nrather of Judas self estimation
\nas to his level of importance. <\/p>\n

547
\n00:34:25,100 –> 00:34:27,199
\nJohn set to the right of the
\nLord. <\/p>\n

548
\n00:34:28,100 –> 00:34:30,900
\nAnd at this point the way that
\nthey would eat the meal as their<\/p>\n

549
\n00:34:30,900 –> 00:34:34,000
\nfeet would be away from the
\ntable and they would recline on <\/p>\n

550
\n00:34:34,000 –> 00:34:37,100
\ntheir left elbow.
\nWith their head toward the <\/p>\n

551
\n00:34:37,100 –> 00:34:39,600
\ntable.
\nAnd this is how it was spoken <\/p>\n

552
\n00:34:39,600 –> 00:34:43,300
\nthat that Jesus and John were so
\nclose together. <\/p>\n

553
\n00:34:43,900 –> 00:34:47,100
\nAnd that, John was able to put
\nhis hat on the Lord’s chest as <\/p>\n

554
\n00:34:47,100 –> 00:34:49,600
\nhe spoke to him to ask him who
\nit was. <\/p>\n

555
\n00:34:49,600 –> 00:34:52,800
\nThat would betray him.
\nAnd Jesus told him that it was <\/p>\n

556
\n00:34:52,800 –> 00:34:55,400
\nthe one that dipped his hand
\nwith him in the dish. <\/p>\n

557
\n00:34:55,699 –> 00:34:59,400
\nAnd that he would give the stop
\nto and it was customary during <\/p>\n

558
\n00:34:59,400 –> 00:35:02,900
\nthe feast to give this app first
\nto the one that was in the chief<\/p>\n

559
\n00:35:02,900 –> 00:35:05,200
\nseat.
\nAnd so even though everybody <\/p>\n

560
\n00:35:05,200 –> 00:35:07,900
\nelse, God Jesus, give the sap to
\nJudas. <\/p>\n

561
\n00:35:08,700 –> 00:35:11,700
\nIt was only John.
\nThat knew that this was the <\/p>\n

562
\n00:35:11,700 –> 00:35:13,800
\nmarker that Judas was the
\nbetrayer. <\/p>\n

563
\n00:35:14,900 –> 00:35:18,300
\nPeter didn’t know it at this
\npoint, because Jesus didn’t <\/p>\n

564
\n00:35:18,300 –> 00:35:22,900
\nreveal it to him, but Jesus did
\nreveal to John who the betrayer <\/p>\n

565
\n00:35:22,900 –> 00:35:26,700
\nwas going to be.
\nIt’s amazing to me as you think <\/p>\n

566
\n00:35:26,700 –> 00:35:30,900
\nabout it that Jesus continued to
\nwork, not only with all the <\/p>\n

567
\n00:35:30,900 –> 00:35:35,600
\ndisciples, but with Judas not
\njust the other 11. <\/p>\n

568
\n00:35:35,700 –> 00:35:40,900
\nBut with all 12, he continued to
\nwork with Judas even until the <\/p>\n

569
\n00:35:40,900 –> 00:35:44,500
\nend, giving him every
\nopportunity to change his <\/p>\n

570
\n00:35:44,500 –> 00:35:50,800
\nbehavior and to change his
\ncourse of action, well Judas <\/p>\n

571
\n00:35:50,800 –> 00:35:56,000
\nasks Jesus is it me and Jesus
\nwould have replied quietly to <\/p>\n

572
\n00:35:56,000 –> 00:36:02,100
\nJudas, you have said And he
\ntells Judas what you need to do,<\/p>\n

573
\n00:36:02,600 –> 00:36:08,000
\ngo and do it quickly.
\nAnd we know that he leaves in <\/p>\n

574
\n00:36:08,000 –> 00:36:13,400
\nJohn, 13 and verse 30.
\nHe departs into the night and <\/p>\n

575
\n00:36:13,400 –> 00:36:16,700
\nnow Jesus can speak very
\nintimately with his disciples. <\/p>\n

576
\n00:36:17,200 –> 00:36:21,300
\nThe 11, that remained, and in
\nJohn 13 Verse 33. <\/p>\n

577
\n00:36:22,100 –> 00:36:26,100
\nJesus begins to tell his
\ndisciples little children yet a <\/p>\n

578
\n00:36:26,107 –> 00:36:28,600
\nlittle while.
\nI am with you, you shall seek <\/p>\n

579
\n00:36:28,600 –> 00:36:30,400
\nme.
\nAnd, as I said, unto the Jews <\/p>\n

580
\n00:36:30,400 –> 00:36:35,700
\nwith her, I go, you cannot come.
\nSo now I say unto you, He goes <\/p>\n

581
\n00:36:35,700 –> 00:36:37,400
\non to give them this new
\ncommandment. <\/p>\n

582
\n00:36:38,600 –> 00:36:42,200
\nBut Peter, Peter struggling
\nstill with the fact that Jesus <\/p>\n

583
\n00:36:42,200 –> 00:36:45,900
\nsaid, where they’re going or
\nwhere Jesus is going, he can’t <\/p>\n

584
\n00:36:45,900 –> 00:36:48,100
\ngo.
\nAnd so Peter interrupts and John<\/p>\n

585
\n00:36:48,100 –> 00:36:53,200
\n13, verses 36, 37, and 38 and
\nprofesses, his loyalty to <\/p>\n

586
\n00:36:53,200 –> 00:36:56,000
\nChrist.
\nOnce again, saying, I’m ready to<\/p>\n

587
\n00:36:56,000 –> 00:36:58,800
\ngo with you.
\nI’m ready to die with you. <\/p>\n

588
\n00:36:59,200 –> 00:37:03,200
\nAnd Jesus has to tell him again
\nthat your confidence in self is <\/p>\n

589
\n00:37:03,200 –> 00:37:07,000
\nnot well founded.
\nWell, now Jesus and his <\/p>\n

590
\n00:37:07,000 –> 00:37:12,100
\ndisciples, the 11 that remain
\ndepart from the upper room and <\/p>\n

591
\n00:37:12,100 –> 00:37:15,600
\nbegin to walk through the
\nstreets of Jerusalem as they go <\/p>\n

592
\n00:37:15,600 –> 00:37:19,600
\ntoward the Mount of Olives.
\nAnd this is now the third time <\/p>\n

593
\n00:37:20,000 –> 00:37:24,700
\nin Matthew 26, as they’re
\nwalking that Peter professes, <\/p>\n

594
\n00:37:24,700 –> 00:37:28,800
\nhis loyalty to Christ, and Jesus
\nhas to correct him in Matthew, <\/p>\n

595
\n00:37:28,800 –> 00:37:36,100
\n26 verses 33 to 35 And Peter is
\nvery upset at this point when <\/p>\n

596
\n00:37:36,100 –> 00:37:39,300
\nJesus tells him this.
\nBut if you take a look at the <\/p>\n

597
\n00:37:39,300 –> 00:37:42,300
\nthree different instances,
\nthere’s a common theme that <\/p>\n

598
\n00:37:42,300 –> 00:37:46,500
\nhappens in each of these times.
\nThat Jesus or Peter professes. <\/p>\n

599
\n00:37:46,500 –> 00:37:50,800
\nHis loyalty, there’s a focus on
\nself and a confidence in self. <\/p>\n

600
\n00:37:51,400 –> 00:37:55,100
\nThere’s an aspect of Readiness
\nof where he says, I’m ready and <\/p>\n

601
\n00:37:55,100 –> 00:37:58,000
\nthere’s an aspect of loyalty of
\nwhere he professes. <\/p>\n

602
\n00:37:58,000 –> 00:38:01,500
\nThat he would be with Jesus, the
\nprison and to death. <\/p>\n

603
\n00:38:02,300 –> 00:38:06,800
\nBut each time Jesus tries to
\nadjust what Peter sang to <\/p>\n

604
\n00:38:06,800 –> 00:38:08,700
\nadjust, his perspective to help
\nhim realize. <\/p>\n

605
\n00:38:08,700 –> 00:38:13,000
\nHe’s not where he thinks he is.
\nThat I’ve prayed for you that <\/p>\n

606
\n00:38:13,000 –> 00:38:15,800
\nyou might strengthen your
\nbrethren when it comes to <\/p>\n

607
\n00:38:15,800 –> 00:38:18,700
\nReadiness that your faith fail,
\nnot and that when you’re <\/p>\n

608
\n00:38:18,700 –> 00:38:20,400
\nconverted, you’re not where you
\nthink you are. <\/p>\n

609
\n00:38:20,800 –> 00:38:24,300
\nAnd when it comes to loyalty
\nyou’ll deny that you know, me <\/p>\n

610
\n00:38:24,300 –> 00:38:27,600
\nthree times.
\nAnd in each of these instances, <\/p>\n

611
\n00:38:27,600 –> 00:38:31,500
\nthe Lord continues to stress
\nthis over and over and over <\/p>\n

612
\n00:38:31,500 –> 00:38:33,900
\nagain.
\nTo Peter, to tell him to put <\/p>\n

613
\n00:38:33,900 –> 00:38:37,900
\nyour confidence in God, not in
\nyourself to strengthen others. <\/p>\n

614
\n00:38:37,900 –> 00:38:41,900
\nDon’t promote yourself and that
\nyou’re not truly with me. <\/p>\n

615
\n00:38:41,900 –> 00:38:45,500
\nNow that Peter you’re not ready
\nyet. <\/p>\n

616
\n00:38:46,000 –> 00:38:50,800
\nBut when you see that you’re not
\nready, don’t give up. <\/p>\n

617
\n00:38:51,900 –> 00:38:56,800
\nConvert and follow me.
\nAnd there’s a huge lesson for us<\/p>\n

618
\n00:38:56,800 –> 00:39:01,300
\nin this that at various points
\nin our lives, were brought to <\/p>\n

619
\n00:39:01,300 –> 00:39:05,300
\nthe realization that we might
\nnot be where we think we are. <\/p>\n

620
\n00:39:06,300 –> 00:39:10,300
\nJesus is trying to prepare Peter
\nfor this realization for him to <\/p>\n

621
\n00:39:10,300 –> 00:39:14,400
\nsee that he’s not where he
\nthinks he is and perhaps we’ve <\/p>\n

622
\n00:39:14,400 –> 00:39:17,600
\nhad some of those data points in
\nour own lives moments of <\/p>\n

623
\n00:39:17,600 –> 00:39:23,300
\nfrustration moments of Anger of
\nwhere we have anxiety. <\/p>\n

624
\n00:39:24,000 –> 00:39:27,200
\nWe don’t know what’s taking
\nplace or to what level of degree<\/p>\n

625
\n00:39:27,200 –> 00:39:30,700
\nthings are going to impact our
\njob or our health, or our <\/p>\n

626
\n00:39:30,700 –> 00:39:34,300
\neveryday life.
\nAnd perhaps God is showing us in<\/p>\n

627
\n00:39:34,300 –> 00:39:37,800
\nthose instances that were not
\nquite where we thought we were. <\/p>\n

628
\n00:39:38,700 –> 00:39:42,800
\nJesus is telling us just like he
\nwas telling Peter to not give up<\/p>\n

629
\n00:39:42,800 –> 00:39:48,400
\nin those instances to not give
\nin, but to make the commitment <\/p>\n

630
\n00:39:48,400 –> 00:39:53,000
\nto convert and to change to
\nchange our perspective and to <\/p>\n

631
\n00:39:53,000 –> 00:39:56,800
\ncontinue to grow And so, from
\nthis point for these three <\/p>\n

632
\n00:39:56,800 –> 00:40:01,400
\nassertions that Peter made would
\nbe put to the test Jesus would <\/p>\n

633
\n00:40:01,400 –> 00:40:04,300
\nbe testing the level of
\nconfidence that he had in <\/p>\n

634
\n00:40:04,300 –> 00:40:08,800
\nhimself whether or not.
\nHe truly was ready for for this <\/p>\n

635
\n00:40:08,800 –> 00:40:13,100
\ntask at hand and to show Peter
\nthat the Loyalty wasn’t quite <\/p>\n

636
\n00:40:13,100 –> 00:40:16,200
\nthere, yet that he had work to
\ndo in that regard. <\/p>\n

637
\n00:40:17,000 –> 00:40:19,800
\nAnd so, as they get to the
\nGarden of Gethsemane, in Matthew<\/p>\n

638
\n00:40:19,800 –> 00:40:26,100
\nchapter 26, Jesus goes with
\nthem, in verse 36 on to a place <\/p>\n

639
\n00:40:26,100 –> 00:40:30,600
\ncalled Gethsemane.
\nAnd he tells the three disciples<\/p>\n

640
\n00:40:30,600 –> 00:40:36,600
\nPeter, James, and John to sit
\nthere and pray, while he went <\/p>\n

641
\n00:40:36,600 –> 00:40:41,000
\nand prayed Yonder This was a
\ntime when Jesus needed his <\/p>\n

642
\n00:40:41,000 –> 00:40:44,200
\nfriends, the most.
\nAnd if there’s any of the <\/p>\n

643
\n00:40:44,200 –> 00:40:48,000
\ndisciples that needed to see the
\npower of prayer, it would have <\/p>\n

644
\n00:40:48,000 –> 00:40:52,600
\nbeen Peter, James, and John,
\nSometimes When we struggle, we <\/p>\n

645
\n00:40:52,600 –> 00:40:56,100
\nwant to go off on her own.
\nWe want to be separate, but <\/p>\n

646
\n00:40:56,100 –> 00:40:59,600
\nJesus is saying, look, Peter you
\nwant to be with me will come <\/p>\n

647
\n00:40:59,600 –> 00:41:04,500
\nwith me in verse 38 tarry, ye
\nhere and watch with me. <\/p>\n

648
\n00:41:04,500 –> 00:41:07,100
\nYou want to be with me, you’ve
\nprofessed that you’ll be with <\/p>\n

649
\n00:41:07,100 –> 00:41:10,800
\nme, we’ll pray.
\nHere with me because I need you <\/p>\n

650
\n00:41:11,600 –> 00:41:14,800
\nand that wasn’t just a statement
\nthat Jesus was making from the <\/p>\n

651
\n00:41:14,808 –> 00:41:18,300
\nstandpoint of well I can do it
\non my own and this is really for<\/p>\n

652
\n00:41:18,300 –> 00:41:20,200
\nyour benefit.
\nI don’t really need the help <\/p>\n

653
\n00:41:20,500 –> 00:41:24,600
\nbecause we read in Psalm 69 and
\nverse 20, that Jesus looked for <\/p>\n

654
\n00:41:24,600 –> 00:41:29,600
\ncomforters but he found none
\nbecause when he went off to pray<\/p>\n

655
\n00:41:30,100 –> 00:41:34,900
\nthis evening and Gethsemane his
\ndisciples watched him for time. <\/p>\n

656
\n00:41:35,800 –> 00:41:38,300
\nBut became tired and fell
\nasleep. <\/p>\n

657
\n00:41:39,200 –> 00:41:43,500
\nAnd when Jesus returns to them
\nin Matthew, 26 and verse 40, he <\/p>\n

658
\n00:41:43,500 –> 00:41:47,800
\nsingles out Peter and he says,
\nPeter, what could you not watch <\/p>\n

659
\n00:41:47,800 –> 00:41:52,400
\nwith me one hour Peter, you said
\nyou’re going to die with me but <\/p>\n

660
\n00:41:53,000 –> 00:41:56,000
\nyou’re not watching with me just
\nfor one hour. <\/p>\n

661
\n00:41:57,600 –> 00:42:00,600
\nDo you really think that you’re
\nready to the extent that your <\/p>\n

662
\n00:42:00,600 –> 00:42:04,100
\nprofessing to be ready?
\nThis isn’t I Told You So Peter. <\/p>\n

663
\n00:42:04,800 –> 00:42:07,700
\nThis is Peter.
\nTake another look at things and <\/p>\n

664
\n00:42:07,700 –> 00:42:10,900
\nmake sure that you have the
\nhumility to see where you’re <\/p>\n

665
\n00:42:10,900 –> 00:42:14,100
\nreally at.
\nBecause Peter goes on to be <\/p>\n

666
\n00:42:14,100 –> 00:42:19,100
\nencouraged by the Lord and verse
\n41 watch and pray that ye enter <\/p>\n

667
\n00:42:19,100 –> 00:42:22,000
\nnot into temptation.
\nThe spirit, indeed is willing <\/p>\n

668
\n00:42:22,700 –> 00:42:26,300
\nbut the flesh is weak.
\nHe wasn’t doubting the Loyalty <\/p>\n

669
\n00:42:26,300 –> 00:42:31,400
\nof his disciples.
\nBut he was recognizing that what<\/p>\n

670
\n00:42:31,400 –> 00:42:36,400
\nthe spirit desires to do is not
\nalways what is done by his <\/p>\n

671
\n00:42:36,400 –> 00:42:40,400
\ndisciples and we can perhaps
\nrelate to this, in the words <\/p>\n

672
\n00:42:40,400 –> 00:42:43,700
\nthat Paul says at the end of
\nRomans 7 but the thing is that <\/p>\n

673
\n00:42:43,700 –> 00:42:47,600
\nwe want to do are quite often,
\nthe things that we don’t end up <\/p>\n

674
\n00:42:47,600 –> 00:42:50,100
\ndoing.
\nAnd the thing is that we don’t <\/p>\n

675
\n00:42:50,100 –> 00:42:54,700
\nwant to do tragically can be the
\nthings that we end up doing in <\/p>\n

676
\n00:42:54,700 –> 00:42:59,600
\ntimes of crisis.
\nWe see that Jesus did this three<\/p>\n

677
\n00:42:59,600 –> 00:43:03,100
\nseparate times with his
\ndisciples and they fell asleep. <\/p>\n

678
\n00:43:03,100 –> 00:43:06,100
\nThree separate times when we
\nwonder, how could they do this <\/p>\n

679
\n00:43:06,100 –> 00:43:09,300
\nto the Lord when they needed him
\nthe most, or when he needed them<\/p>\n

680
\n00:43:09,300 –> 00:43:11,800
\nthe most?
\nBut how often is it? <\/p>\n

681
\n00:43:11,800 –> 00:43:16,400
\nThat we find ourselves coming to
\nremember our Lord each week. <\/p>\n

682
\n00:43:17,000 –> 00:43:21,100
\nPerhaps, Shackled by committing
\nthe same sins were struggling <\/p>\n

683
\n00:43:21,100 –> 00:43:24,600
\nwith the same weaknesses.
\nAnd not feeling like we’re <\/p>\n

684
\n00:43:24,600 –> 00:43:26,900
\nmaking the progress that we
\nshould be making. <\/p>\n

685
\n00:43:28,300 –> 00:43:32,400
\nBut notice how Jesus here,
\nbalances compassion. <\/p>\n

686
\n00:43:33,500 –> 00:43:38,400
\nWith urgency.
\nHe tells his disciples in verse <\/p>\n

687
\n00:43:38,400 –> 00:43:42,400
\n45 sleep on now and take your
\nrest. <\/p>\n

688
\n00:43:42,800 –> 00:43:46,100
\nBehold the hour is at hand and
\nthe son of man is betrayed into <\/p>\n

689
\n00:43:46,100 –> 00:43:49,700
\nthe hands of sinners.
\nThat’s actually better rendered <\/p>\n

690
\n00:43:49,700 –> 00:43:52,300
\nwith question marks sleep on
\nnow. <\/p>\n

691
\n00:43:52,600 –> 00:43:56,400
\nAnd take your rest behold.
\nThis the hour is at hand and the<\/p>\n

692
\n00:43:56,400 –> 00:43:59,000
\nson of man is betrayed into the
\nhands of sinners. <\/p>\n

693
\n00:44:00,300 –> 00:44:05,000
\nJesus had told them to watch and
\nto pray before he had recognized<\/p>\n

694
\n00:44:05,000 –> 00:44:07,900
\nthat they had the desire to do.
\nThe right thing, he was <\/p>\n

695
\n00:44:07,900 –> 00:44:11,700
\ncompassionate, he was empathetic
\nto what they were facing but <\/p>\n

696
\n00:44:11,700 –> 00:44:15,200
\nthere was a level of urgency
\nthat they needed to act that <\/p>\n

697
\n00:44:15,200 –> 00:44:19,100
\nthey needed to pay attention.
\nIt’s a great balance for us to <\/p>\n

698
\n00:44:19,100 –> 00:44:22,200
\ntry to strike in our own lives
\nas we’re working with our <\/p>\n

699
\n00:44:22,200 –> 00:44:26,700
\nfamilies and with each other to
\nhave a compassion. <\/p>\n

700
\n00:44:27,700 –> 00:44:31,300
\nBut to also have this sense of
\nurgency that the Lord was able <\/p>\n

701
\n00:44:31,300 –> 00:44:36,200
\nto display of where Jesus
\nhimself though, he was sweating <\/p>\n

702
\n00:44:36,200 –> 00:44:39,600
\nas it were great drops of blood,
\nfrom what we read in Luke 22, <\/p>\n

703
\n00:44:39,600 –> 00:44:42,700
\nand verse 44.
\nSuch was The Agony and the <\/p>\n

704
\n00:44:42,700 –> 00:44:47,500
\nintensity of his prayer.
\nBut he was still able to come <\/p>\n

705
\n00:44:47,500 –> 00:44:51,600
\nback and to be compassionate to
\nthose who didn’t have the <\/p>\n

706
\n00:44:51,600 –> 00:44:54,500
\nstamina to continue to press
\nforward. <\/p>\n

707
\n00:44:55,900 –> 00:45:01,300
\nBut we’re told that it’s at this
\npoint, when Judas shows up, when<\/p>\n

708
\n00:45:01,300 –> 00:45:04,700
\nthe multitude arrives on the
\nscene and Peter, and the others <\/p>\n

709
\n00:45:04,700 –> 00:45:07,400
\nare startled out of sleep, and
\nyou can imagine Peter, rubbing <\/p>\n

710
\n00:45:07,400 –> 00:45:10,400
\nhis eyes as things were
\nilluminated by the glow of <\/p>\n

711
\n00:45:10,400 –> 00:45:12,900
\ntorches.
\nAnd as he rubbed the sleep out <\/p>\n

712
\n00:45:12,900 –> 00:45:17,400
\nof his eyes, he would see men
\nwith swords and clubs and he <\/p>\n

713
\n00:45:17,400 –> 00:45:22,300
\nwould realize the Gentiles and
\nJews were combining their power <\/p>\n

714
\n00:45:22,300 –> 00:45:25,500
\nagainst the son of man.
\nHe would rise quickly to the <\/p>\n

715
\n00:45:25,500 –> 00:45:29,300
\nside of his Lord.
\nAnd as he tried to take in, what<\/p>\n

716
\n00:45:29,300 –> 00:45:32,700
\nwas happening, a familiar figure
\nwould step forward out of the <\/p>\n

717
\n00:45:32,700 –> 00:45:37,000
\ncrowd, and he would recognize
\nhim as Judas. <\/p>\n

718
\n00:45:38,200 –> 00:45:41,900
\nIt’s Judas kissed his master to
\nMark him out as the one that <\/p>\n

719
\n00:45:41,900 –> 00:45:46,600
\nthey should take into custody.
\nPeople step forward to apprehend<\/p>\n

720
\n00:45:46,600 –> 00:45:51,100
\nthe Lord and Peter acted
\ninstinctively taking the sword. <\/p>\n

721
\n00:45:51,100 –> 00:45:54,400
\nThat was in his hand and
\nwielding it toward one of the <\/p>\n

722
\n00:45:54,400 –> 00:45:57,200
\nindividuals.
\nAnd as that individual moved to <\/p>\n

723
\n00:45:57,200 –> 00:46:00,200
\nthe side to evade the blow, it
\ncaught his ear. <\/p>\n

724
\n00:46:00,700 –> 00:46:05,100
\nAnd severed, the right ear of
\nmalchus, high priests servant. <\/p>\n

725
\n00:46:06,100 –> 00:46:10,900
\nBut Jesus rebuked Peter and he
\nhealed the servant. <\/p>\n

726
\n00:46:11,600 –> 00:46:14,800
\nHe told Peter that this wasn’t
\nthe time that those who live by <\/p>\n

727
\n00:46:14,800 –> 00:46:19,000
\nthe sword will die by the sword.
\nBut Peter had been professing, <\/p>\n

728
\n00:46:19,000 –> 00:46:22,600
\nhis loyalty to his Lord.
\nPeter’s loyalty had been <\/p>\n

729
\n00:46:22,600 –> 00:46:25,000
\ndoubted.
\nYou said I’m not willing to die <\/p>\n

730
\n00:46:25,000 –> 00:46:26,600
\nwith you.
\nWell, here I am. <\/p>\n

731
\n00:46:26,600 –> 00:46:29,700
\nI’m willing to die with you.
\nPeter was completely <\/p>\n

732
\n00:46:29,700 –> 00:46:32,200
\noutnumbered.
\nThere was no chance of survival,<\/p>\n

733
\n00:46:32,500 –> 00:46:35,700
\nbut Peter was stepping forward
\nto defend his Lord. <\/p>\n

734
\n00:46:37,300 –> 00:46:39,400
\nBut was he really defending his
\nLord here? <\/p>\n

735
\n00:46:41,000 –> 00:46:45,400
\nOr was he defending himself?
\nWas he defending his own <\/p>\n

736
\n00:46:45,400 –> 00:46:50,500
\nassertions of loyalty?
\nIn acting in a way that his Lord<\/p>\n

737
\n00:46:50,500 –> 00:46:54,500
\nwould not condone.
\nIn a way that wasn’t supported <\/p>\n

738
\n00:46:54,900 –> 00:46:59,100
\nby his Lord’s teachings.
\nPeter’s, loyalty had been <\/p>\n

739
\n00:46:59,100 –> 00:47:01,800
\nquestioned, his Readiness had
\nbeen questioned. <\/p>\n

740
\n00:47:01,800 –> 00:47:03,800
\nHis conversion had been
\nquestioned. <\/p>\n

741
\n00:47:04,900 –> 00:47:08,600
\nAnd though Peter began with the
\nmotivation of Defending, his <\/p>\n

742
\n00:47:08,600 –> 00:47:11,600
\nLord of being by his Lord’s
\nSide. <\/p>\n

743
\n00:47:12,500 –> 00:47:16,700
\nThose motives were hijacked and
\nhe found himself acting in a way<\/p>\n

744
\n00:47:16,700 –> 00:47:20,500
\nof where he was defending self
\ninstead of his Lord. <\/p>\n

745
\n00:47:21,800 –> 00:47:25,800
\nIt’s worth asking ourselves that
\nquestion, when situations arise,<\/p>\n

746
\n00:47:25,800 –> 00:47:29,600
\nwe may enter in with good
\nmotivation, but when the <\/p>\n

747
\n00:47:29,607 –> 00:47:33,800
\nsituation becomes emotionally
\ncharged and we feel threatened <\/p>\n

748
\n00:47:34,600 –> 00:47:38,900
\nand fight or flight kicks in, Do
\nwe behave instinctively? <\/p>\n

749
\n00:47:39,900 –> 00:47:42,900
\nOr do we behave according to the
\nprinciples that our Lord <\/p>\n

750
\n00:47:42,900 –> 00:47:45,700
\nteaches?
\nThis would have been a lesson <\/p>\n

751
\n00:47:45,700 –> 00:47:49,800
\nthat Peter never forgot.
\nAnd it’s a question worth asking<\/p>\n

752
\n00:47:49,800 –> 00:47:54,200
\nourselves in those situations.
\nAre we defending our Lord? <\/p>\n

753
\n00:47:55,000 –> 00:47:56,900
\nWhere are we defending
\nourselves? <\/p>\n

754
\n00:47:57,800 –> 00:48:01,800
\nAre we standing with our Lord by
\nconducting ourselves with <\/p>\n

755
\n00:48:01,800 –> 00:48:04,300
\nbehavior?
\nThat’s in alignment with his <\/p>\n

756
\n00:48:04,300 –> 00:48:07,700
\nteachings?
\nWhat Peter found here was that <\/p>\n

757
\n00:48:07,700 –> 00:48:12,200
\nhe was very confused.
\nPeter didn’t know what was <\/p>\n

758
\n00:48:12,200 –> 00:48:14,800
\ntaking place.
\nHe didn’t completely forsake the<\/p>\n

759
\n00:48:14,800 –> 00:48:20,900
\nLord but with this communication
\nby Jesus, the disciples all ran <\/p>\n

760
\n00:48:20,900 –> 00:48:26,700
\naway, they fled But Peter,
\nfollowed from afar, he followed <\/p>\n

761
\n00:48:26,700 –> 00:48:30,200
\nfrom a distance as we read,
\nMatthew, 26 and verse 58 <\/p>\n

762
\n00:48:30,900 –> 00:48:34,000
\nsomewhere along the way as Peter
\nwas following from a distance, <\/p>\n

763
\n00:48:34,700 –> 00:48:38,500
\nhe connected with John and John
\n18 and verse 15 and they <\/p>\n

764
\n00:48:38,500 –> 00:48:41,000
\nfollowed Jesus to the house of
\nthe high priest. <\/p>\n

765
\n00:48:41,700 –> 00:48:45,100
\nAnd as they arrived at the house
\nof the high priest, John was <\/p>\n

766
\n00:48:45,100 –> 00:48:49,500
\nable to go in and Peter was
\nlater LED in by John since John <\/p>\n

767
\n00:48:49,500 –> 00:48:52,200
\nhad connections with In The
\nHouse of the high priest. <\/p>\n

768
\n00:48:53,300 –> 00:48:56,900
\nAnd we read the very cryptic
\nwords in Matthew 26 and verse <\/p>\n

769
\n00:48:56,900 –> 00:49:00,200
\n58.
\nThat Peter goes into sit with <\/p>\n

770
\n00:49:00,200 –> 00:49:03,700
\nthe Servants of the high priest
\nto see the end. <\/p>\n

771
\n00:49:05,200 –> 00:49:07,900
\nAnd you just read that phrase
\nthat he was going in to see the <\/p>\n

772
\n00:49:07,900 –> 00:49:12,900
\nend and allow it to sink in.
\nHow were things going to end up <\/p>\n

773
\n00:49:13,400 –> 00:49:17,700
\nfor his master?
\nBut where is Peter at presently?<\/p>\n

774
\n00:49:18,300 –> 00:49:20,700
\nHe’s sitting with the Servants
\nof the high priest. <\/p>\n

775
\n00:49:20,700 –> 00:49:26,300
\nHe’s no longer with the Lord.
\nHe’s following from afar off <\/p>\n

776
\n00:49:26,900 –> 00:49:33,000
\nwaiting to see the end.
\nWill Peter finds himself by a <\/p>\n

777
\n00:49:33,000 –> 00:49:36,300
\nfire?
\nWarming himself on this cold <\/p>\n

778
\n00:49:36,300 –> 00:49:39,300
\nnight.
\nPeter doubtless was tired. <\/p>\n

779
\n00:49:41,500 –> 00:49:45,400
\nAnxiety was high.
\nAnd I’m sure that. <\/p>\n

780
\n00:49:46,800 –> 00:49:52,300
\nHe wasn’t quite sure what to do.
\nWell, Peter sits by this fire. <\/p>\n

781
\n00:49:53,900 –> 00:49:56,300
\nAnd it wasn’t long before he was
\nrecognized. <\/p>\n

782
\n00:49:57,000 –> 00:50:01,400
\nWe’re told in Luke 22 and verse
\n56, that a made earnestly looked<\/p>\n

783
\n00:50:01,600 –> 00:50:06,500
\non Peter as he sat by the fire.
\nShe was trying to place Peter, <\/p>\n

784
\n00:50:06,500 –> 00:50:10,300
\nshe had seen him before and
\nfinally she recognizes him and <\/p>\n

785
\n00:50:10,300 –> 00:50:13,700
\nsays, ah yes, this one was with
\nJesus. <\/p>\n

786
\n00:50:15,700 –> 00:50:18,800
\nBut Peter denies that he knows
\nhim and Luke 22. <\/p>\n

787
\n00:50:18,800 –> 00:50:22,700
\nAnd verse 57, I don’t know him.
\nNot only was he denying that he <\/p>\n

788
\n00:50:22,700 –> 00:50:27,500
\nwas with Jesus, but he was
\ndenying that he even knew Jesus.<\/p>\n

789
\n00:50:28,900 –> 00:50:35,400
\nJust like the Lord had said, In
\nMatthew 26 and verse 7 or 70, <\/p>\n

790
\n00:50:35,400 –> 00:50:38,200
\nrather we’re told that Peter
\ndenied before them. <\/p>\n

791
\n00:50:38,200 –> 00:50:42,000
\nAll he said it to all around
\nthem and even though Peter had <\/p>\n

792
\n00:50:42,000 –> 00:50:45,900
\nsaid earlier though all should
\nforsake thee yet, will not. <\/p>\n

793
\n00:50:45,900 –> 00:50:53,200
\nI now, Peter is forsaking Jesus
\nbefore all it’s at this point <\/p>\n

794
\n00:50:53,200 –> 00:50:58,500
\nthat the cock crows for the
\nfirst time, a couple hours <\/p>\n

795
\n00:50:58,500 –> 00:51:02,700
\npassed by Peter moves around in
\nthe scene and the high priests <\/p>\n

796
\n00:51:02,700 –> 00:51:08,600
\nhouse. but he’s warming himself
\nAgain by the fire and now he’s <\/p>\n

797
\n00:51:08,600 –> 00:51:14,200
\nnoticed again this time he’s
\nnoticed a second time And he <\/p>\n

798
\n00:51:14,200 –> 00:51:18,100
\nprofesses again that he doesn’t
\nknow the Lord a third time. <\/p>\n

799
\n00:51:18,100 –> 00:51:20,800
\nFinally, he’s recognized by
\nsomebody. <\/p>\n

800
\n00:51:20,800 –> 00:51:24,000
\nWho knew the individual whose
\near he had cut off. <\/p>\n

801
\n00:51:25,100 –> 00:51:29,500
\nAnd Peter reverts back to being
\nthe Galilean fishermen cursing <\/p>\n

802
\n00:51:30,000 –> 00:51:35,400
\nand swearing proclaiming that he
\ndidn’t even know who Jesus was. <\/p>\n

803
\n00:51:36,900 –> 00:51:39,100
\nwhen you take a look at the
\nevents that were happening at <\/p>\n

804
\n00:51:39,100 –> 00:51:45,100
\nthis point in time, this third
\ndenial that Peter did would have<\/p>\n

805
\n00:51:45,100 –> 00:51:49,200
\nbeen right around the same time
\nthat Jesus was ultimately <\/p>\n

806
\n00:51:49,200 –> 00:51:55,600
\nconvicted, the high priest was
\ntearing His Garment Jesus would <\/p>\n

807
\n00:51:55,600 –> 00:51:57,200
\nhave been buffeted at this
\npoint. <\/p>\n

808
\n00:51:58,000 –> 00:51:59,600
\nYou would have been hit in the
\nface. <\/p>\n

809
\n00:52:00,500 –> 00:52:03,900
\nWounds would have been swelling
\nin the Lord’s cheeks. <\/p>\n

810
\n00:52:04,500 –> 00:52:08,000
\nHis face would have been red
\nwith the abuse that he was <\/p>\n

811
\n00:52:08,000 –> 00:52:11,400
\nsuffering.
\nAnd Peter was watching. <\/p>\n

812
\n00:52:11,800 –> 00:52:17,100
\nHe was waiting to see the end.
\nAnd as he made this final <\/p>\n

813
\n00:52:17,100 –> 00:52:21,800
\nProclamation, the Lord turned
\nand looked upon Peter. <\/p>\n

814
\n00:52:23,700 –> 00:52:27,200
\nAnd it tells us that when he
\nlooked upon Peter, this is the <\/p>\n

815
\n00:52:27,200 –> 00:52:31,000
\nsame phrase that was used
\ninitially in John 10 verse 42, <\/p>\n

816
\n00:52:31,000 –> 00:52:33,600
\nwhen Jesus was first introduced
\nto Peter. <\/p>\n

817
\n00:52:33,600 –> 00:52:37,900
\nIt means looking at somebody not
\nnecessarily with the eyes but <\/p>\n

818
\n00:52:37,900 –> 00:52:42,200
\nlooking at him with the mind he
\nwas looking straight through <\/p>\n

819
\n00:52:42,200 –> 00:52:45,900
\nPeter, he was looking straight
\ninto him. <\/p>\n

820
\n00:52:47,000 –> 00:52:50,300
\nAnd when you look at the house
\nof the high priest, you can see <\/p>\n

821
\n00:52:50,300 –> 00:52:54,400
\nthat the layout be shown here.
\nPeter would have been standing <\/p>\n

822
\n00:52:54,400 –> 00:52:58,200
\nin the courtyard.
\nAnd historians, tell us that <\/p>\n

823
\n00:52:58,200 –> 00:53:01,800
\nfrom the courtyard, you would be
\nable to see into the reception <\/p>\n

824
\n00:53:01,800 –> 00:53:04,400
\nhall where the trial was taking
\nplace. <\/p>\n

825
\n00:53:05,500 –> 00:53:09,300
\nAnd it could have been as little
\nas 20 feet as to the distance <\/p>\n

826
\n00:53:09,400 –> 00:53:14,500
\nbetween Peter and Jesus.
\nAnd you wonder what expression <\/p>\n

827
\n00:53:14,500 –> 00:53:17,700
\nwould have been on the Lord’s
\nface as he looked at Peter. <\/p>\n

828
\n00:53:17,800 –> 00:53:21,000
\nThis is a view of looking
\nthrough the two doorways of <\/p>\n

829
\n00:53:21,000 –> 00:53:24,200
\nwhere Peter could have been
\nstanding as the Lord was <\/p>\n

830
\n00:53:24,200 –> 00:53:27,800
\ncondemned and as the Lord would
\nhave heard, Peter cursing. <\/p>\n

831
\n00:53:27,800 –> 00:53:31,900
\nAnd swearing, he would have
\nturned to look upon Peter. <\/p>\n

832
\n00:53:33,300 –> 00:53:36,900
\nBut it wouldn’t have been a face
\nof anger. <\/p>\n

833
\n00:53:38,600 –> 00:53:40,500
\nIt would have been a face of
\nunderstanding. <\/p>\n

834
\n00:53:41,900 –> 00:53:43,900
\nOf a desire to see Peter through
\nit. <\/p>\n

835
\n00:53:45,500 –> 00:53:50,300
\nThat now, Peter having seen that
\nhe wasn’t ready, would be able <\/p>\n

836
\n00:53:50,300 –> 00:53:53,600
\nto be converted.
\nAnd that though, he had fallen <\/p>\n

837
\n00:53:53,600 –> 00:53:59,100
\nhere, that he wouldn’t
\nultimately fail, Jesus needed <\/p>\n

838
\n00:53:59,100 –> 00:54:02,700
\nPeter to get through this.
\nAnd even though Jesus was in the<\/p>\n

839
\n00:54:02,700 –> 00:54:07,200
\nmidst of this immense trial and
\nhis own life, he could still <\/p>\n

840
\n00:54:07,200 –> 00:54:09,600
\nturn and look upon Peter with
\ncompassion. <\/p>\n

841
\n00:54:10,900 –> 00:54:16,100
\nAnd with the two of them locking
\neyes, what was next, what more <\/p>\n

842
\n00:54:16,100 –> 00:54:18,600
\ncould Peter do at this point?
\nWhat more could he say? <\/p>\n

843
\n00:54:19,900 –> 00:54:23,800
\nHe’d said enough for the evening
\nand as he looked into the eyes <\/p>\n

844
\n00:54:23,800 –> 00:54:25,700
\nof his Lord, locked eyes with
\nhim. <\/p>\n

845
\n00:54:26,700 –> 00:54:30,800
\nThe gays became too much.
\nAnd Peter ran away. <\/p>\n

846
\n00:54:32,400 –> 00:54:36,000
\nPeter wasn’t with his Lord.
\nHe wasn’t with the crowd. <\/p>\n

847
\n00:54:37,000 –> 00:54:41,300
\nHe wasn’t with anyone.
\nPeter was weeping bitterly <\/p>\n

848
\n00:54:42,000 –> 00:54:45,400
\ninconsolably at the denial of
\nhis Lord. <\/p>\n

849
\n00:54:46,100 –> 00:54:50,200
\nHis Lord was right.
\nHe wasn’t ready his confidence <\/p>\n

850
\n00:54:50,200 –> 00:54:52,100
\nin his own faith in his own
\nabilities. <\/p>\n

851
\n00:54:52,700 –> 00:54:58,300
\nHad failed him There’s times
\nlike this in our own lives, but <\/p>\n

852
\n00:54:58,300 –> 00:55:02,500
\nwhen we don’t behave in the way
\nthat we want to behave and we’re<\/p>\n

853
\n00:55:02,500 –> 00:55:07,300
\nGod helps us to see and his
\nMercy that we’re not really as <\/p>\n

854
\n00:55:07,300 –> 00:55:10,200
\nfar along.
\nAs we’d like to be, we can <\/p>\n

855
\n00:55:10,200 –> 00:55:13,000
\nrelate to Peter’s feelings here
\nand how he denied the Lord that <\/p>\n

856
\n00:55:13,000 –> 00:55:17,000
\nhe wasn’t fully converted yet.
\nThat he was putting his strength<\/p>\n

857
\n00:55:17,000 –> 00:55:20,300
\nin himself.
\nAnd in a time of stress, he <\/p>\n

858
\n00:55:20,300 –> 00:55:24,300
\nreverted back to an old way of
\nlife to Old behaviors that were <\/p>\n

859
\n00:55:24,300 –> 00:55:29,500
\nbefore his baptism that were
\nbefore, when he had decided to <\/p>\n

860
\n00:55:29,500 –> 00:55:33,800
\nfollow Jesus, what is our style
\nunder stress? <\/p>\n

861
\n00:55:34,500 –> 00:55:39,000
\nWho do we become in the moments?
\nThat matter the most situations <\/p>\n

862
\n00:55:39,000 –> 00:55:42,100
\nthat are heated with our
\nfamilies situations, with our <\/p>\n

863
\n00:55:42,100 –> 00:55:45,700
\nbrothers and sisters, It’s easy
\nto become people, we don’t want <\/p>\n

864
\n00:55:45,700 –> 00:55:50,100
\nto be to lash out or to
\ndisengage and become despondent.<\/p>\n

865
\n00:55:51,100 –> 00:55:54,900
\nSo next time that we respond
\npoorly, try to ask ourselves <\/p>\n

866
\n00:55:54,900 –> 00:55:58,500
\nthis question of, who do I
\nbecome when it matters the most?<\/p>\n

867
\n00:55:58,500 –> 00:56:02,700
\nWhen I’m stressed out or tired
\nout, do I show others that I’m <\/p>\n

868
\n00:56:02,700 –> 00:56:06,800
\nwith Jesus and my willing to
\nProclaim my connection, to <\/p>\n

869
\n00:56:06,800 –> 00:56:10,600
\nJesus, to my co-workers, to
\nothers, who I come in contact <\/p>\n

870
\n00:56:10,600 –> 00:56:13,400
\nwith.
\nDo they know that? <\/p>\n

871
\n00:56:13,400 –> 00:56:17,000
\nI know Jesus.
\nWho am I standing with? <\/p>\n

872
\n00:56:19,000 –> 00:56:23,300
\nAre we really standing with
\nChrist or are we standing afar <\/p>\n

873
\n00:56:23,300 –> 00:56:26,400
\noff?
\nIt’s a hard question for us to <\/p>\n

874
\n00:56:26,400 –> 00:56:29,600
\nanswer but so much of it depends
\non where we put our confidence <\/p>\n

875
\n00:56:30,200 –> 00:56:33,800
\nand when our foundation is
\nshaken, that’s the opportunity <\/p>\n

876
\n00:56:33,800 –> 00:56:36,500
\nfor us to realize that this is
\nthe time to grow. <\/p>\n

877
\n00:56:37,400 –> 00:56:40,400
\nWe’re told by Peter and First
\nPeter, 1 verse 7 that the trial <\/p>\n

878
\n00:56:40,400 –> 00:56:43,400
\nof your faith being much more
\nprecious than of gold that <\/p>\n

879
\n00:56:43,400 –> 00:56:46,800
\nperisheth there would be tried
\nwith fire might be found unto <\/p>\n

880
\n00:56:46,800 –> 00:56:51,300
\npraise and honor and Glory at
\nthe appearing of Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n

881
\n00:56:52,400 –> 00:56:54,400
\nPeter’s Faith was being
\nintensely. <\/p>\n

882
\n00:56:54,400 –> 00:56:57,500
\nTried as he stood by the fire of
\ncoals. <\/p>\n

883
\n00:56:58,300 –> 00:57:02,800
\nAnd perhaps our faith is being
\ntried over these number of weeks<\/p>\n

884
\n00:57:03,100 –> 00:57:05,600
\nof where we are being put to the
\ntest. <\/p>\n

885
\n00:57:06,300 –> 00:57:09,400
\nAnd it’s so important for us
\nthat we continue to view this as<\/p>\n

886
\n00:57:09,400 –> 00:57:13,900
\nour wake-up call to come to our
\nsenses and to look inwardly to <\/p>\n

887
\n00:57:13,900 –> 00:57:17,100
\nlook at our lives, in the
\ncontext of the Lord Jesus <\/p>\n

888
\n00:57:17,100 –> 00:57:20,500
\nChrist.
\nAnd as hard as it is, to be <\/p>\n

889
\n00:57:20,500 –> 00:57:23,200
\nthankful for the times.
\nWhen God, Reveals to us that we <\/p>\n

890
\n00:57:23,200 –> 00:57:27,500
\nhave work to do because where
\nthere’s life, There’s Hope. <\/p>\n

891
\n00:57:28,100 –> 00:57:30,700
\nAnd when we’re on this side of
\nthe Kingdom, we have an <\/p>\n

892
\n00:57:30,700 –> 00:57:34,500
\nopportunity to make the changes
\nthat need to be made because we <\/p>\n

893
\n00:57:34,500 –> 00:57:36,500
\ndon’t want to come to our
\nsenses. <\/p>\n

894
\n00:57:36,800 –> 00:57:40,900
\nWhen that final, trumpet blast
\nsounds and slices through the <\/p>\n

895
\n00:57:40,900 –> 00:57:44,500
\ndaily Affairs of life, to help
\nus wake up and to realize that <\/p>\n

896
\n00:57:44,500 –> 00:57:48,400
\nwe need to change.
\nWe don’t want to wait until our <\/p>\n

897
\n00:57:48,400 –> 00:57:54,100
\nLord returns and so when these
\nwake-up calls come it’s helpful <\/p>\n

898
\n00:57:54,100 –> 00:57:58,200
\nfor us to heed the warning
\nbecause it’s not about if we <\/p>\n

899
\n00:57:58,200 –> 00:58:03,300
\nfail, it’s when we fail, it’s
\nwhen we falter and how it is <\/p>\n

900
\n00:58:03,300 –> 00:58:06,700
\nthat, we’re going to respond.
\nBecause as we’re told in 2nd <\/p>\n

901
\n00:58:06,700 –> 00:58:13,400
\nCorinthians 7 and verse 10 Godly
\nsorrow, Works repentance, And <\/p>\n

902
\n00:58:13,400 –> 00:58:17,700
\nso, from this point forward,
\nwe’re out of time, but what we <\/p>\n

903
\n00:58:17,700 –> 00:58:22,500
\nfind is that Jesus continued to
\nwork with everybody, he <\/p>\n

904
\n00:58:22,500 –> 00:58:25,100
\ncontinued to work to the very
\nend with Judas. <\/p>\n

905
\n00:58:25,400 –> 00:58:28,600
\nEven the person that would
\nbetray him, showing him love <\/p>\n

906
\n00:58:29,600 –> 00:58:32,800
\nwhen Jesus was derided and
\nmocked, he didn’t return the <\/p>\n

907
\n00:58:32,800 –> 00:58:37,300
\nsame to others, as he walked to
\nGolgotha Jesus. <\/p>\n

908
\n00:58:37,300 –> 00:58:39,300
\nCollapsed under the weight of
\nthe cross. <\/p>\n

909
\n00:58:39,700 –> 00:58:42,500
\nA three-and-a-half-year Ministry
\nof self-sacrifice. <\/p>\n

910
\n00:58:43,100 –> 00:58:46,700
\nAnd a full night of abuse had
\nleft him, fully depleted of his <\/p>\n

911
\n00:58:46,700 –> 00:58:51,100
\nphysical strength.
\nDespite this Jesus was able to <\/p>\n

912
\n00:58:51,100 –> 00:58:54,900
\nturn into looked with compassion
\nto the women who were weeping <\/p>\n

913
\n00:58:55,500 –> 00:58:59,300
\nand to express compassion for
\nthem, even though he was the one<\/p>\n

914
\n00:58:59,300 –> 00:59:03,500
\nthat was presently suffered.
\nAs Jesus was crucified, he <\/p>\n

915
\n00:59:03,500 –> 00:59:07,200
\nprayed for forgiveness for those
\ncrucifying him and when the <\/p>\n

916
\n00:59:07,200 –> 00:59:10,500
\nthieves reviled him he offered
\nthem comfort. <\/p>\n

917
\n00:59:11,700 –> 00:59:14,700
\nWhen he saw his mother Weeping
\nat the foot of the cross, he <\/p>\n

918
\n00:59:14,700 –> 00:59:19,200
\nappointed John to care for her
\nin his absence before he died. <\/p>\n

919
\n00:59:19,900 –> 00:59:23,900
\nHe quoted Psalm 22 to raise the
\nminds of those around him to <\/p>\n

920
\n00:59:23,900 –> 00:59:28,800
\nGod, And even in his death, a
\nRoman Centurion was led to <\/p>\n

921
\n00:59:28,800 –> 00:59:32,000
\ndeclare truly.
\nThis was the son of God. <\/p>\n

922
\n00:59:33,200 –> 00:59:36,500
\nAnd it’s by his great work that
\nwe have the amazing opportunity <\/p>\n

923
\n00:59:36,500 –> 00:59:40,100
\nextended to us.
\nWe may find that our present <\/p>\n

924
\n00:59:40,100 –> 00:59:44,000
\ncircumstances.
\nLeave us in a position of where <\/p>\n

925
\n00:59:44,000 –> 00:59:47,100
\nwe’re struggling.
\nWe might relate to the feelings <\/p>\n

926
\n00:59:47,100 –> 00:59:50,400
\nat the Last Supper of where we
\nfind ourselves arguing with our <\/p>\n

927
\n00:59:50,400 –> 00:59:52,100
\nloved ones.
\nWhile our Master is trying to <\/p>\n

928
\n00:59:52,100 –> 00:59:55,700
\nprepare us, Or perhaps we can
\nrelate the feelings of <\/p>\n

929
\n00:59:55,700 –> 00:59:59,100
\nGethsemane Desiring to watch
\nearnestly into pray. <\/p>\n

930
\n00:59:59,100 –> 01:00:04,500
\nAs we see the signs around us
\nhappening, but feeling fatigued,<\/p>\n

931
\n01:00:05,100 –> 01:00:10,700
\nlacking motivation, feeling
\ndepressed, That the spirit is <\/p>\n

932
\n01:00:10,700 –> 01:00:16,200
\nwilling, but the flesh is weak.
\nPerhaps we can relate at the <\/p>\n

933
\n01:00:16,200 –> 01:00:20,500
\ntime of the arrest of where we
\nfeel like we’re performing at <\/p>\n

\n01:00:20,500 –> 01:00:24,300
\nour worst.
\nWhen it matters, most faltering <\/p>\n

935
\n01:00:24,300 –> 01:00:29,300
\nwhen we feel stressed out Max
\ndown or burn down finding that <\/p>\n

936
\n01:00:29,300 –> 01:00:33,900
\nwe lash out at others.
\nIn despair or anger or <\/p>\n

937
\n01:00:33,900 –> 01:00:37,400
\nfrustration instead of properly
\nrepresenting our Lord. <\/p>\n

938
\n01:00:38,600 –> 01:00:40,800
\nOr perhaps we can relate to
\nPeter in the house of the high <\/p>\n

939
\n01:00:40,800 –> 01:00:44,700
\npriest realizing that at times,
\nour Behavior doesn’t demonstrate<\/p>\n

940
\n01:00:44,700 –> 01:00:48,000
\nthat we’re standing with our
\nLord that were only following <\/p>\n

941
\n01:00:48,000 –> 01:00:54,400
\nhim from afar off.
\nWaiting to see the end being a <\/p>\n

942
\n01:00:54,400 –> 01:00:56,800
\nspectator, instead of a
\ndisciple. <\/p>\n

943
\n01:00:57,900 –> 01:01:02,400
\nPerhaps our behaviors can deny
\nthat we even know our Lord as we<\/p>\n

944
\n01:01:02,400 –> 01:01:06,800
\nrevert back to old habits.
\nBut it’s at times like this that<\/p>\n

945
\n01:01:06,800 –> 01:01:10,000
\nour Lord is reaching into our
\nlives, to help us be converted <\/p>\n

946
\n01:01:10,000 –> 01:01:14,500
\nto turn to him and conversion is
\ndifficult, it’s painful, but <\/p>\n

947
\n01:01:14,500 –> 01:01:16,500
\nit’s fully possible in God’s
\nstrength. <\/p>\n

948
\n01:01:16,800 –> 01:01:20,700
\nIf we’re willing to Humble
\nourselves and to return to him, <\/p>\n

949
\n01:01:21,700 –> 01:01:25,600
\nGod is working with each of us
\nin these last days to convert US<\/p>\n

950
\n01:01:26,300 –> 01:01:29,500
\nto get us to change, to make the
\ntransformational changes that <\/p>\n

951
\n01:01:29,500 –> 01:01:33,000
\nare necessary.
\nIn his words ring, true today. <\/p>\n

952
\n01:01:33,400 –> 01:01:36,600
\nJust as they did, then that We
\nare converted. <\/p>\n

953
\n01:01:37,100 –> 01:01:38,600
\nWe need to strengthen our
\nbrethren. <\/p>\n

954
\n01:01:38,600 –> 01:01:41,900
\nWe need to reach out to each
\nother, to help each other <\/p>\n

955
\n01:01:41,900 –> 01:01:45,300
\nthrough the trials that we face.
\nAnd though our Lord <\/p>\n

956
\n01:01:45,300 –> 01:01:49,300
\naccomplished, this Grace work
\nalmost 2,000 years ago, it’s <\/p>\n

957
\n01:01:49,300 –> 01:01:53,300
\njust as powerful today.
\nAs it was, then Jesus Christ the<\/p>\n

958
\n01:01:53,300 –> 01:01:56,600
\nsame yesterday today and
\nforever. <\/p>\n

959
\n01:01:56,600 –> 01:02:01,000
\nAs we read in Hebrews 13 and
\nverse 8, the last day of Jesus <\/p>\n

960
\n01:02:01,000 –> 01:02:04,600
\nlife was really spent in the
\nsame way that every other day of<\/p>\n

961
\n01:02:04,600 –> 01:02:08,900
\nhis life was spent serving
\nothers even to the end. <\/p>\n

962
\n01:02:09,700 –> 01:02:13,400
\nAnd so, as we reflect on this
\nday, the last day of our Lord’s <\/p>\n

963
\n01:02:13,400 –> 01:02:18,300
\nlife, how will we decide to live
\nmore like Jesus? <\/p>\n
