TRUE. IN THIS

00:02:34.08\00:02:38.12

OTHER NAME LIKE JESUS, 'TIS THE
00:02:48.06\00:02:59.04

NO OTHER NAME LIKE JESUS.
>>YOU KNOW, AS WE WERE SINGING
00:04:34.44\00:04:42.18
THAT I WAS THINKING, WHAT A
SWEET THING IT IS GOING TO BE
00:04:42.18\00:04:45.28
WHEN WE GET TO HEAVEN AND
WE HEAR JESUS SAY OUR NAMES
00:04:45.28\00:04:49.35
AND HE GREETS US, YAY? I
CANNOT WAIT FOR THAT DAY.
00:04:49.35\00:04:53.36
AND, UNTIL THEN, WE WILL
KEEP FIGHTING AND KEEP MARCHING
00:04:53.36\00:04:56.83
THROUGH. HYMN # 647

00:05:09.74\00:05:13.48
(PIANO MUSIC)
00:05:13.48\00:05:20.42
>>MINE EYES HAVE SEEN THE
GLORY OF THE COMING OF THE LORD;
00:05:20.42\00:05:24.85
HE IS TRAMPLING OUT THE VINTAGE
WHERE THE GRAPES OF WRATH ARE
00:05:24.85\00:05:29.22
STORED; HE HAS
LOOSED THE FATEFUL
00:05:29.22\00:05:31.59
LIGHTNING OF HIS TERRIBLE SWIFT
SWORD; HIS TRUTH IS MARCHING ON.
00:05:31.59\00:05:39.97
GLORY! GLORY! HALLELUJAH!
GLORY! GLORY! HALLELUJAH!
00:05:39.97\00:05:49.31
GLORY! GLORY! HALLELUJAH!
HIS TRUTH IS MARCHING ON.
00:05:49.31\00:05:58.39
>>HE HAS SOUNDED FORTH THE
TRUMPET THAT SHALL NEVER CALL
00:05:58.39\00:06:02.66
RETREAT; HE IS SIFTING OUT
THE HEARTS OF MEN BEFORE HIS
00:06:02.66\00:06:07.23
JUDGMENT SEAT; O BE SWIFT, MY
SOUL, TO ANSWER HIM; BE JUBILANT
00:06:07.23\00:06:12.67
MY FEET! OUR GOD IS MARCHING ON.
00:06:12.67\00:06:19.04
GLORY! GLORY! HALLELUJAH!
GLORY! GLORY! HALLELUJAH!

GLORY! GLORY! HALLELUJAH!

00:06:29.05\00:06:38.56
IN THE BEAUTY OF THE LILIES
CHRIST WAS BORN ACROSS THE SEA,
00:06:38.56\00:06:43.53
WITH A GLORY IN HIS BOSOM
THAT TRANSFIGURES YOU AND ME;
00:06:43.53\00:06:48.87
AS HE DIED TO MAKE MEN HOLY,
LET US LIVE TO MAKE MEN FREE!
00:06:48.87\00:06:54.11
WHILE GOD IS MARCHING ON.
00:06:54.11\00:06:59.88

GLORY! GLORY! HALLELUJAH!
00:06:59.88\00:07:10.13

GLORY! GLORY! HALLELUJAH!
00:07:20.30\00:07:30.41
GLORY! GLORY! HALLELUJAH!
HIS TRUTH IS MARCHING ON.
00:07:30.41\00:07:43.63
>>AMEN. AT THIS TIME PASTOR
ROSS WILL LEAD US IN PRAYER.
00:07:43.63\00:07:54.60
>>I'D LIKE TO INVITE YOU TO BOW
YOUR HEADS AS WE BEGIN WITH A
00:07:54.60\00:07:56.37
WORD OF PRAYER. DEAR
FATHER, ONCE AGAIN WE ARE
00:07:56.37\00:07:58.87
GRATEFUL THAT WE'RE ABLE TO OPEN
UP THE BIBLE AND STUDY THIS VERY
00:07:58.87\00:08:02.14
IMPORTANT SUBJECT,
THE STORY OF JESUS.
00:08:02.14\00:08:05.08
AND, IN PARTICULAR, WE'RE
LOOKING AT THOSE FINAL MOMENTS
00:08:05.08\00:08:07.88
OF CHRIST'S EARTHLY LIFE, SO WE
ASK FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT TO COME
00:08:07.88\00:08:10.82
AND GUIDE OUR MINDS AND
OUR HEARTS, FOR WE ASK THIS IN
00:08:10.82\00:08:13.52
JESUS' NAME, AMEN.
WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING
00:08:13.52\00:08:16.73
SOMETHING JUST A
LITTLE DIFFERENT THIS MORNING.
00:08:16.73\00:08:18.96
I'D LIKE TO INVITE PASTOR DOUG
TO COME JOIN ME, BUT WE DID GET
00:08:18.96\00:08:21.93
SOME QUESTIONS THAT CAME IN
FROM OUR EXTENDED SABBATH SCHOOL
00:08:21.93\00:08:26.10
CLASS AND WE'RE GOING TO TRY
AND ADDRESS TWO OF THE QUESTIONS
00:08:26.10\00:08:29.44
THAT CAME IN, PASTOR DOUG, RIGHT
HERE AT THE BEGINNING OF OUR
00:08:29.44\00:08:31.54
LESSON THIS MORNING. >>ALRIGHT.
00:08:31.54\00:08:33.07
>>ALRIGHT, WELL, IF YOU'RE
READY, OUR FIRST QUESTION THAT'S
00:08:33.07\00:08:36.01
COME IN FROM STEVEN FROM
COLORADO - HIS QUESTION IS: "THE
00:08:36.01\00:08:40.65
LESSON AUTHOR SAYS
THAT JESUS HAD FREE WILL.
00:08:40.65\00:08:43.72
DOES THIS MEAN THAT HE COULD
HAVE SINNED OR, POSSIBLY MORE
00:08:43.72\00:08:46.82
IMPORTANTLY, COULD HE
HAVE RETURNED TO THE FATHER AND
00:08:46.82\00:08:49.59
AVOIDED THE CROSS?
HOW WOULD EITHER OF THESE
00:08:49.59\00:08:52.06
CHOICES HAVE AFFECTED
US? >>THAT'S A BIG QUESTION.
00:08:52.06\00:08:55.73
THERE'S A FEW
HYPOTHETICALS IN THERE.
00:08:55.73\00:08:57.97
ONE, DID JESUS HAVE
A FREE WILL? OF COURSE.
00:08:57.97\00:09:00.97
FIRST OF ALL, HE'S OUR CREATOR.
00:09:00.97\00:09:02.67
HE CHOSE TO CREATE US,
SO JESUS HAS A FREE WILL.
00:09:02.67\00:09:05.31
I THINK THEY'RE ASKING, WHEN
HE WAS ON EARTH DID HE HAVE ANY
00:09:05.31\00:09:07.71
CHOICE TO SAY, 'OH,
FORGET ABOUT THESE HUMANS.
00:09:07.71\00:09:10.38
THEY JUST DON'T APPRECIATE WHAT
I'M DOING.' AND THROW HIS HANDS
00:09:10.38\00:09:12.75
IN THE AIR AND WALK BACK TO
HEAVEN - OR FLY BACK TO HEAVEN -
00:09:12.75\00:09:15.55
AND WHAT WOULD
HAVE HAPPENED TO US?
00:09:15.55\00:09:17.69
WELL, WITH THE HYPOTHETICAL
QUESTIONS IT'S SOMETIMES HARD TO
00:09:17.69\00:09:21.32
ANSWER, BUT WE WOULD CERTAINLY
BE DOOMED IF IT WASN'T FOR THE
00:09:21.32\00:09:23.83
SACRIFICE OF JESUS.
COULD HE HAVE FAILED?
00:09:23.83\00:09:27.50
DID HE HAVE A
FREE WILL THAT WAY?
00:09:27.50\00:09:30.67
YES AND NO. THE
PROPHECY COULD NOT FAIL.
00:09:30.67\00:09:35.60
HIS WORD WILL NEVER RETURN VOID.
THE WORD OF GOD SAID THAT JESUS'
00:09:35.60\00:09:39.01
SACRIFICE WOULD BE SUCCESSFUL.
JESUS SAID, 'AFTER THREE DAYS
00:09:39.01\00:09:44.08
I WILL RISE.' SO HE MADE A
PREDICTION THAT HE WOULD DO IT.
00:09:44.08\00:09:47.22
HIS WORD WOULD COME TRUE.
BUT WHEN HE WAS IN THE GARDEN OF
00:09:47.22\00:09:50.45
GETHSEMANE, AND WE'RE GOING TO
TALK ABOUT THAT THIS MORNING, HE
00:09:50.45\00:09:54.79
COULDN'T SEE BEYOND
THE PORTALS OF THE TOMB.
00:09:54.79\00:09:57.26
HE - HE SAW SEPARATION AS -
OF THE FATHER AND CARRYING THE
00:09:57.26\00:10:01.80
WEIGHT OF THE WORLD, ALL THE
SINS AS JUST SO BLEAK THAT IT
00:10:01.80\00:10:07.34
LOOKED HOPELESS - IT
FELT HOPELESS TO HIM.
00:10:07.34\00:10:10.34
AND THERE WAS - THAT WAS THE
BIGGEST AGONY - AND HE WAS BEING
00:10:10.34\00:10:13.51
TEMPTED TO BELIEVE THAT
THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE ETERNAL
00:10:13.51\00:10:15.81
SEPARATION SO HE FELT WHAT THE
LOST FEEL AND WHAT THEY STRUGGLE
00:10:15.81\00:10:20.58
AGAINST, BUT THE
PROPHECY WASN'T GOING TO FAIL.
00:10:20.58\00:10:23.82
EVERYTHING IN THE WORD OF GOD
SAID THAT HIS MISSION WOULD BE
00:10:23.82\00:10:25.99
SUCCESSFUL. >>AMEN.
00:10:25.99\00:10:28.12
ALRIGHT, WELL, WE DO HAVE
ANOTHER QUESTION THAT'S COME
00:10:28.12\00:10:29.69
FROM DANIEL FROM ARKANSAS AND
THE QUESTION IS: 'THE CUP THAT
00:10:29.69\00:10:33.13
JESUS ASKED TO BE PASSED
FROM HIM, IN MATTHEW CHAPTER 26,
00:10:33.13\00:10:36.97
VERSE 39, WHAT WAS IN THE CUP?
>>NOW IT'S WHEN HE WAS IN THE
00:10:36.97\00:10:41.37
GARDEN HE SAID, 'FATHER, IF
THERE'S ANY WAY, LET THIS CUP
00:10:41.37\00:10:43.67
PASS FROM ME.' YOU KNOW, IT'S
INTERESTING THAT JUST A LITTLE
00:10:43.67\00:10:47.91
WHILE EARLIER, THEY HAD THE
CUP OF THE NEW COVENANT AND, BY
00:10:47.91\00:10:52.91
TAKING THAT CUP, THE DISCIPLES
SAID, 'WE ARE RECEIVING THE
00:10:52.91\00:10:55.62
GOSPEL.' NOW, JESUS WAS ABOUT
TO TAKE A CUP OF SUFFERING.
00:10:55.62\00:10:59.75
JAMES AND JOHN CAME AT THE
ENCOURAGEMENT OF THEIR MOTHER,
00:10:59.75\00:11:03.43
AT LEAST THEY BROUGHT THEIR
MOTHER ALONG, AND SHE APPEALED
00:11:03.43\00:11:05.59
AND SAID, 'WHEN YOU ENTER INTO
YOUR KINGDOM, LET THESE TWO SONS
00:11:05.59\00:11:08.70
OF MINE SIT ON THE RIGHT AND
THE LEFT.' AND JESUS SAID, 'YOU
00:11:08.70\00:11:11.80
DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE ASKING.
ARE THEY TO BE BAPTIZED WITH MY
00:11:11.80\00:11:14.67
BAPTISM AND DRINK FROM MY CUP?'
AND THEY SAID, 'OH, YES WE ARE.'
00:11:14.67\00:11:17.67
AND HE SAID, 'WELL, YOU WILL
INDEED DRINK FROM MY CUP.' AND
00:11:17.67\00:11:22.38
SO THERE - THIS WAS A CUP OF
SUFFERING THAT CHRIST WANTED TO
00:11:22.38\00:11:25.51
BE TAKEN AWAY AND IT INCLUDED
JUST THE PHYSICAL PAIN THAT HE
00:11:25.51\00:11:28.55
WAS GOING TO BEAR, SEPARATION
FROM THE FATHER, JUST THE WHOLE
00:11:28.55\00:11:31.69
AGONY HE HAD COME INTO
THE WORLD TO DRINK THIS CUP.
00:11:31.69\00:11:35.52
NOW, BACK IN BIBLE TIMES, THEY
- DOCTORS DIDN'T DISPENSE PILLS
00:11:35.52\00:11:41.03
THAT WERE
CONCENTRATED LIKE THEY DO NOW.
00:11:41.03\00:11:43.26
OFTEN THEY'D GIVE YOU THESE
CONCOCTIONS AND HERBS AND THINGS
00:11:43.26\00:11:46.43
- USUALLY BITTER - AND THEY'D
SAY, THIS IS GOING TO MAKE YOU
00:11:46.43\00:11:49.67
FEEL BETTER BUT
YOU'VE GOT TO DRINK THIS CUP.
00:11:49.67\00:11:52.31
AND SO, THOSE BITTER CUPS WERE
A SYMBOL OF WHAT HE NEEDED TO GO
00:11:52.31\00:11:57.11
THROUGH IN ORDER TO
HEAL AND TO SAVE US.
00:11:57.11\00:12:00.45
>>ALRIGHT, WELL PASTOR DOUG,
I THINK THAT QUESTION IS A GOOD
00:12:00.45\00:12:02.95

00:12:02.95\00:12:06.15

RED-LETTER EDITION BIBLE, YOU'LL
00:13:19.36\00:13:21.66
NOTICE THAT CHAPTER 24, THERE'S
THIS WHOLE WALL OF RED PAINT -
00:13:21.66\00:13:27.47
RED LETTERING. WHEN YOU
GET TO CHAPTER 25 IT CONTINUES.
00:13:27.47\00:13:31.71
CHAPTER 25 IS A CONTINUATION
OF THE PROPHECIES JESUS GIVES IN
00:13:31.71\00:13:36.21
CHAPTER 24. CHAPTER
25 HAS THREE PARABLES.
00:13:36.21\00:13:40.68
YOU'VE GOT THE
PARABLE OF THE TEN VIRGINS.
00:13:40.68\00:13:44.62
YOU'VE GOT THE PARABLE OF THE
TALENTS - (CLEARS THROAT) EXCUSE
00:13:44.62\00:13:48.22
ME - AND YOU'VE GOT THE PARABLE
OF THE SHEEP AND THE GOATS.
00:13:48.22\00:13:51.39
AND SO, THEY'RE ALL PARABLES
THAT ARE TALKING ABOUT THE
00:13:51.39\00:13:54.73
SECOND COMING THERE,
AND THAT'S ALL CHAPTER 25.
00:13:54.73\00:13:57.50
AND THAT'LL HELP YOU UNDERSTAND
THAT WHEN WE GET TO CHAPTER 26,
00:13:57.50\00:14:02.24
IT SAYS, 'NOW IT CAME TO
PASS WHEN HE HAD FINISHED THESE
00:14:02.24\00:14:06.24
SAYINGS.' NOW, BEFORE I GET
INTO THAT, I THINK I FORGOT THE
00:14:06.24\00:14:09.91
MEMORY VERSE. WE
HAVE A MEMORY VERSE AND
00:14:09.91\00:14:13.05
IT'S CHAPTER 26, VERSE 31.
DO YOU WANT TO SAY THAT WITH ME?
00:14:13.05\00:14:16.62
MATTHEW 26:31 - HERE IN
YOUR LESSON IT'S FROM THE NIV.
00:14:16.62\00:14:20.22
I THINK THEY'RE ONLY GIVING US
HALF THE VERSE, SO WE SHOULD BE
00:14:20.22\00:14:22.29
ABLE TO DO THAT. YOU READY?
"THIS VERY NIGHT YOU WILL ALL
00:14:22.29\00:14:27.50
FALL AWAY ON ACCOUNT OF ME."
JESUS MADE A PROPHECY THERE -
00:14:27.50\00:14:32.70
"THIS VERY NIGHT YOU WILL
ALL FALL AWAY ON ACCOUNT OF ME."
00:14:32.70\00:14:35.44
AND SO AS WE DELVE INTO THE
LESSON - AND I THINK I'VE GOT
00:14:35.44\00:14:39.14
SOME OF YOU LINED UP WHO
ARE GOING TO HELP ME READ SOME
00:14:39.14\00:14:41.34
VERSES - JOHN - SOMEONE, IN
A MOMENT, IS GOING TO READ JOHN
00:14:41.34\00:14:46.98
12, VERSE 3 - WHO
HAS THAT? OKAY, RON?
00:14:46.98\00:14:49.58
YOU'LL HAVE THAT
IN JUST A MINUTE.
00:14:49.58\00:14:50.75
I WANT YOU TO READ MATTHEW
CHAPTER 26 VERSES 1 TO 13 AND,
00:14:50.75\00:14:55.82
WELL, YOU KNOW, I'LL READ THIS
TO YOU, "NOW IT CAME TO PASS,
00:14:55.82\00:15:01.13
WHEN JESUS HAD FINISHED ALL
THESE SAYINGS, THAT HE SAID TO
00:15:01.13\00:15:03.26
HIS DISCIPLES, 'YOU KNOW THAT
AFTER TWO DAYS IS THE PASSOVER,
00:15:03.26\00:15:07.60
AND THE SON OF MAN WILL BE
DELIVERED UP TO BE CRUCIFIED.'
00:15:07.60\00:15:11.17
THEN THE CHIEF PRIESTS, THE
SCRIBES, AND THE ELDERS OF THE
00:15:11.17\00:15:13.88
PEOPLE ASSEMBLED AT THE PALACE
OF THE HIGH PRIEST, WHO WAS
00:15:13.88\00:15:18.51
CALLED CAIAPHAS, AND PLOTTED TO
TAKE JESUS BY TRICKERY AND KILL
00:15:18.51\00:15:22.52
HIM. BUT THEY
SAID, 'NOT DURING THE
00:15:22.52\00:15:24.55
FEAST, LEST THERE BE AN UPROAR
AMONG THE PEOPLE.' AND WHEN
00:15:24.55\00:15:28.22
JESUS WAS IN BETHANY AT THE
HOUSE OF SIMON THE LEPER," - NOW
00:15:28.22\00:15:32.19
THIS IS TALKING ABOUT THAT VERY
IMPORTANT FEAST THAT HAPPENS -
00:15:32.19\00:15:36.67
"A WOMAN CAME TO HIM HAVING AN
ALABASTER FLASK OF VERY COSTLY
00:15:36.67\00:15:41.74
FRAGRANT OIL," - IT'S ALSO
CALLED 'OINTMENT' - "AND SHE
00:15:41.74\00:15:45.51
POURED IT ON HIS HEAD
AS HE SAT AT THE TABLE."
00:15:45.51\00:15:48.91
- ALRIGHT, ONE THING SOME OF YOU
ARE GOING TO NOTICE RIGHT HERE,
00:15:48.91\00:15:52.25
BEFORE WE GO ANY FARTHER IS
WHERE DID MARY - ALRIGHT, AND DO
00:15:52.25\00:15:57.39
- DO YOU ALL UNDERSTAND THAT
THIS IS AT THE HOUSE OF PROBABLY
00:15:57.39\00:16:01.69
MARTHA AND LAZARUS -
IT'S A FEAST - IT'S THE
00:16:01.69\00:16:04.99
HOUSE OF, I'M SORRY,
SIMON. MARY, MARTHA AND LAZARUS
00:16:04.99\00:16:09.73
LIVED IN BETHANY.
IT'S A FEAST IN BETHANY.
00:16:09.73\00:16:13.20
THE MARY WHO GOES THERE IS MARY
OF BETHANY, WHO MAY ALSO BE MARY
00:16:13.20\00:16:18.64
MAGDALENE - THE
SAME MARY, WE BELIEVE.
00:16:18.64\00:16:21.51
MARTHA AND LAZARUS LIVED THERE
BECAUSE MARY HAD BEEN LIVING UP
00:16:21.51\00:16:24.48
IN MAGDALA FOR A WHILE - THEY
CALLED HER MARY OF MAGDALA OR
00:16:24.48\00:16:27.42
MARY MAGDALENE - IT WAS
OFTEN ASSOCIATED WITH THE PLACE.
00:16:27.42\00:16:30.99
AND IT SAYS THAT
SHE ANOINTED HIS HEAD.
00:16:30.99\00:16:35.59
WELL, WAS IT THE
HEAD OR WAS IT THE FEET?
00:16:35.59\00:16:38.96
IF YOU LOOK IN LUKE - NOW WE
JUST READ IN MATTHEW CHAPTER 26
00:16:38.96\00:16:42.60
SHE POURED IT ON HIS HEAD.
LOOK IN LUKE 36 - LUKE 7, VERSE
00:16:42.60\00:16:48.27
36 - "THEN ONE OF THE PHARISEES
ASKED HIM TO EAT WITH HIM AND HE
00:16:48.27\00:16:52.57
WENT TO THE PHARISEE'S
HOUSE, AND HE SAT DOWN TO EAT.
00:16:52.57\00:16:55.28
AND BEHOLD, A WOMAN IN THE CITY
WHO WAS A SINNER, WHEN SHE KNEW
00:16:55.28\00:16:57.95
THAT JESUS SAT AT THE TABLE IN
THE PHARISEE'S HOUSE, BROUGHT AN
00:16:57.95\00:17:01.32
ALABASTER FLASK OF FRAGRANT OIL,
AND STOOD AT HIS FEET BEHIND HIM
00:17:01.32\00:17:05.79
WEEPING; AND SHE BEGAN TO WASH
HIS FEET WITH HER TEARS, AND
00:17:05.79\00:17:09.29
WIPED THEM WITH THE HAIR OF HER
HEAD; AND SHE KISSED HIS FEET
00:17:09.29\00:17:11.96
AND ANOINTED THEM
WITH THE FRAGRANT OIL."
00:17:11.96\00:17:14.86
SO WHICH IS IT,
THE HEAD OR THE FEET?
00:17:14.86\00:17:18.70
GO AHEAD AND READ FOR
US CHAPTER 12, VERSE 3.
00:17:18.70\00:17:23.51
>>"THEN MARY TOOK A POUND OF
VERY COSTLY OIL OF SPIKENARD,
00:17:23.51\00:17:27.41
ANOINTED THE FEET OF JESUS AND
WIPED HIS FEET WITH HER HAIR AND
00:17:27.41\00:17:31.81
THE HOUSE WAS FILLED WITH
THE FRAGRANCE OF THE OIL."
00:17:31.81\00:17:34.68
>>NOW WE BELIEVE THESE ARE ALL
TALKING ABOUT THE SAME EVENT.
00:17:34.68\00:17:38.75
JOHN, FOR INSTANCE, IN HIS
GOSPEL, DOESN'T SAY IT WAS MARY.
00:17:38.75\00:17:42.26
HE SAYS, 'A WOMAN IN THE CITY'.
00:17:42.26\00:17:44.86
HE ALWAYS, SORT OF,
PROTECTS HER IDENTITY.
00:17:44.86\00:17:46.90
YOU CAN ALSO FIND THAT IT TELLS
US IN LUKE - IT SAYS IT WAS A
00:17:46.90\00:17:52.33
FEAST AT SIMON'S HOUSE - LUKE
DOESN'T SAY THAT, BUT LATER IN
00:17:52.33\00:17:56.67
THE STORY OF LUKE, LUKE SAYS,
'SIMON, I HAVE SOMETHING TO ASK
00:17:56.67\00:17:59.64
YOU' SO IT'S GOT TO BE THE SAME
FEAST, RIGHT, THAT HE'S TALKING
00:17:59.64\00:18:03.14
ABOUT AS MARY'S
KISSING HIS FEET?
00:18:03.14\00:18:06.08
THE BOOK DESIRE OF AGES GIVES
US A LITTLE INSIGHT ON THIS.
00:18:06.08\00:18:08.88
YOU KNOW, I WROTE A WHOLE BOOK
CALLED AT JESUS FEET - ABOUT
00:18:08.88\00:18:12.59
MARY MAGDALENE - AND SO I WENT
THROUGH ALL OF THESE STORIES AND
00:18:12.59\00:18:16.09
TOOK THEM APART AND SAID -
HOW DOES THIS ALL FIT TOGETHER?
00:18:16.09\00:18:19.09
AND IT FITS ALONG ALSO VERY
WELL WITH THE DESIRE OF AGES .
00:18:19.09\00:18:23.16
I CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT
MARY MAGDALENE IS THE SAME AS
00:18:23.16\00:18:26.87
MARY OF BETHANY AND THERE'S EVEN
THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE WOMAN
00:18:26.87\00:18:30.21
CAUGHT IN ADULTERY IN
JOHN CHAPTER 8 WAS THE FIRST
00:18:30.21\00:18:33.51
ENCOUNTER OF JESUS WITH MARY.
00:18:33.51\00:18:35.68
AGAIN, HE JUST CALLS HER
'A CERTAIN WOMAN.' BUT HERE'S
00:18:35.68\00:18:38.38
DESIRE OF AGES - 558, "AT
GREAT PERSONAL SACRIFICE SHE HAD
00:18:38.38\00:18:43.08
PURCHASED AN ALABASTER BOX
OF "OINTMENT OF SPIKENARD, VERY
00:18:43.08\00:18:46.25
COSTLY," WITH
WHICH TO ANOINT HIS BODY.
00:18:46.25\00:18:49.46
BUT NOW" - NOW WHY IS
SHE ANOINTING HIS BODY?
00:18:49.46\00:18:53.56
JESUS SAID, 'SHE'S DONE THIS
FOR MY BURIAL,' BUT IT ENDS UP
00:18:53.56\00:18:57.67
BECOMING MORE THAN THAT,
YOU'LL SEE IN JUST A MOMENT.
00:18:57.67\00:19:00.34
SOMETIMES WE GIVE PEOPLE FLOWERS
AFTER THEY DIE - MARY WANTED TO
00:19:00.34\00:19:04.34
DO SOMETHING FOR
JESUS WHILE HE WAS ALIVE.
00:19:04.34\00:19:07.01
IT'S AMAZING HOW MANY TIMES,
IF YOU GO THROUGH THE GOSPELS,
00:19:07.01\00:19:10.55
JESUS TOLD THE DISCIPLES
IN ADVANCE, 'I'M GOING TO
00:19:10.55\00:19:14.45
JERUSALEM. I
WILL BE BETRAYED INTO
00:19:14.45\00:19:16.65
THE HANDS OF SINNERS.
THE GENTILES WILL CRUCIFY ME.
00:19:16.65\00:19:19.95
I WILL RISE THE THIRD DAY.' HE
SAID THAT OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
00:19:19.95\00:19:23.22
MARY HEARD THAT. YOU READ IN
LUKE CHAPTER 8, IT SAYS, 'THERE
00:19:23.22\00:19:26.23
WERE CERTAIN WOMEN THAT FOLLOWED
HIM FROM GALILEE' - AND IT
00:19:26.23\00:19:29.90
MENTIONS MARY MAGDALENE. AND IT
SAYS 'THEY MINISTERED UNTO HIM
00:19:29.90\00:19:33.23
OF THEIR SUBSTANCE.' SO
SHE WAS FREQUENTLY THERE WHEN
00:19:33.23\00:19:35.97
HE WAS SPEAKING. SHE
HEARD THIS, SHE BELIEVED IT.
00:19:35.97\00:19:38.84
THE DISCIPLES SAID, 'OH NO, THAT
WON'T HAPPEN TO YOU, JESUS.'
00:19:38.84\00:19:41.41
THEY THOUGHT, 'HE'S SPEAKING
IN MYSTICAL TERMS, AGAIN.
00:19:41.41\00:19:44.05
YOU KNOW, BREAD,
LEAVEN, THESE THINGS?
00:19:44.05\00:19:46.28
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT
HE'S TALKING ABOUT.
00:19:46.28\00:19:47.85
AND SO THEY WEREN'T
TAKING HIM SERIOUSLY.
00:19:47.85\00:19:49.68
THEY WERE
SHOCKED WHEN IT HAPPENED.
00:19:49.68\00:19:51.39
LET ME READ ON, "BUT NOW MANY
WERE DECLARING THAT HE WAS ABOUT
00:19:51.39\00:19:55.99
TO BE CROWNED KING. HER
GRIEF WAS TURNED TO JOY AND
00:19:55.99\00:19:59.49
SHE, EAGER TO BE THE FIRST
TO HONOR HER LORD, BREAKING HER
00:19:59.49\00:20:03.00
BOX OF OINTMENT, SHE POURED ITS
CONTENTS UPON HIS HEAD AND FEET
00:20:03.00\00:20:08.80
OF JESUS; THEN, AS SHE KNELT
WIPING - WEEPING, MOISTENING
00:20:08.80\00:20:13.64
THEM WITH HER TEARS,
SHE WIPED HIS FEET WITH HER
00:20:13.64\00:20:16.41
LONG, FLOWING HAIR." SO,
IT'S SIMPLY SHE DID BOTH.
00:20:16.41\00:20:20.88
AND THERE'S REALLY NOT CONFLICT
IN THE SCRIPTURES THERE.
00:20:20.88\00:20:23.42
NOW, WHAT DOES THE WORD - HOW DO
YOU INTERPRET THE WORD 'CHRIST'?
00:20:23.42\00:20:30.46
WHAT DOES CHRIST MEAN?
CHRIST COMES FROM A GREEK WORD,
00:20:30.46\00:20:34.13
'CHRISTOS', WHICH
MEANS 'TO ANOINT'.
00:20:34.13\00:20:37.40
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD ABOUT
WHEN THEY CHRISTEN A SHIP?
00:20:37.40\00:20:41.00
YOU PROBABLY DON'T THINK ABOUT
IT, THEY'RE ANOINTING THE SHIP -
00:20:41.00\00:20:44.74
USUALLY WITH CHAMPAGNE -
TO LAUNCH IT ON ITS - A BABY'S
00:20:44.74\00:20:48.24
CHRISTENING, THEY TALK - IT
MEANS 'THE ANOINTING' - THEY'RE
00:20:48.24\00:20:51.51
HOPING THE SPIRIT OF
GOD WILL COME ON THE CHILD.
00:20:51.51\00:20:56.22
AND THE WORD 'MESSIAH' IS WHAT?
IT'S HEBREW FOR 'ANOINTED'.
00:20:56.22\00:21:02.52
JESUS WAS CALLED 'THE ANOINTED'.
AND SO, ISN'T IT INTERESTING AND
00:21:02.52\00:21:06.46
VERY SIGNIFICANT THAT -
WHAT IS A CHURCH A SYMBOL OF?
00:21:06.46\00:21:09.83
I'M SORRY WHAT IS MARY -
WHAT IS A WOMAN A SYMBOL OF?
00:21:09.83\00:21:13.00
I GOT UP EARLY.
(LAUGHTER) A WOMAN'S A SYMBOL OF
00:21:13.00\00:21:16.44
A CHURCH AND SO, HERE YOU'VE GOT
THIS WOMAN KNEELING AT THE FEET
00:21:16.44\00:21:21.44
- A SYMBOL OF SUBMISSION TO
JESUS - WEEPING. IT'S LIKE HIS
00:21:21.44\00:21:24.58
FEET ARE BATHED IN OUR TEARS.
SHE'S ANOINTING HIM WITH OIL -
00:21:24.58\00:21:29.65
SHE'S ANOINTING HIM AS KING
- DAVID WAS ANOINTED AS KING.
00:21:29.65\00:21:32.92
THE PRIEST WAS ANOINTED -
SHE'S ANOINTING HIM AS PRIEST.
00:21:32.92\00:21:36.09
AND I THINK THERE'S ONE PLACE IN
THE BIBLE WHERE EVEN A SACRIFICE
00:21:36.09\00:21:38.36
WAS ANOINTED, SO SHE'S
ANOINTING HIM AS SACRIFICE.
00:21:38.36\00:21:41.93
AND SO, HERE IS AN ANOINTING
- JUST BEFORE HIS CRUCIFIXION IS
00:21:41.93\00:21:45.70
TO TAKE PLACE - BY MARY, WHO WAS
CONSIDERED THE, YOU KNOW, THE
00:21:45.70\00:21:50.44
LEAST OF THE LEAST BECAUSE EVEN
SIMON SAID, 'THIS MAN, IF HE WAS
00:21:50.44\00:21:54.98
A PROPHET, WOULD KNOW WHO
AND WHAT MANNER OF WOMAN THIS IS
00:21:54.98\00:21:57.61
THAT'S TOUCHING HIM, FOR SHE IS
A SINNER.' AND THIS IS WHO JESUS
00:21:57.61\00:22:01.58
CHOSE TO ANOINT HIM. SHE
EVIDENTLY HAD MONEY BECAUSE
00:22:01.58\00:22:05.82
IT SAYS ONCE PLACE,
SHE MINISTERED UNTO HIM
00:22:05.82\00:22:08.36
OF HER SUBSTANCE. IN
ANOTHER PLACE IT SAYS, JUDAS
00:22:08.36\00:22:11.83
IS UPSET BECAUSE THIS
IS A GIFT FIT FOR A KING.
00:22:11.83\00:22:14.10
WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY. AND
SO MARY PROBABLY PUT IT ALL
00:22:14.10\00:22:18.90
INTO BUYING
THIS TREMENDOUS GIFT.
00:22:18.90\00:22:22.60
MATTHEW 26, VERSE 8, "BUT WHEN
HIS DISCIPLES SAW IT, THEY WERE
00:22:22.60\00:22:27.81
INDIGNANT,
SAYING, 'WHY THIS WASTE?
00:22:27.81\00:22:30.85
FOR THIS FRAGRANT OIL MIGHT HAVE
BEEN SOLD FOR MUCH AND GIVEN TO
00:22:30.85\00:22:34.02
THE POOR.' BUT WHEN JESUS WAS
AWARE OF IT, HE SAID TO THEM,
00:22:34.02\00:22:38.15
'WHY DO YOU TROUBLE THE
WOMAN? FOR SHE HAS DONE A
00:22:38.15\00:22:40.69
GOOD WORK FOR ME. FOR
YOU HAVE THE POOR WITH
00:22:40.69\00:22:43.02
YOU ALWAYS,'" - NOW
THAT'S AN INTERESTING PROPHECY.
00:22:43.02\00:22:45.19
WILL THERE ALWAYS BE SOME
POOR PEOPLE AROUND THAT WE CAN
00:22:45.19\00:22:48.96
MINISTER TO? - "'BUT
ME YOU DO NOT HAVE ALWAYS.
00:22:48.96\00:22:52.53
FOR IN POURING THIS FRAGRANT OIL
ON MY BODY, SHE DID IT FOR MY
00:22:52.53\00:22:55.90
BURIAL. ASSUREDLY, I SAY TO YOU,
00:22:55.90\00:22:58.51
WHEREVER THIS GOSPEL IS PREACHED
IN THE WHOLE WORLD, WHAT THIS
00:22:58.51\00:23:02.18
WOMAN HAS DONE WILL ALSO BE
TOLD AS A MEMORIAL TO HER.'"
00:23:02.18\00:23:06.25
WAS JESUS A
PROPHET? HOW DO YOU KNOW
00:23:06.25\00:23:10.15
HE WAS A PROPHET? SON
OF GOD? HE'S IN THE BIBLE?
00:23:10.15\00:23:20.70
BECAUSE HIS
PROPHECIES CAME TRUE.
00:23:20.70\00:23:23.40
I MEAN, THINK ABOUT IT, FOR A
FELLOW TO MAKE A PREDICTION AT A
00:23:23.40\00:23:27.00
DINNER AND SAY, 'EVERYWHERE
IN THE WORLD PEOPLE ARE GOING TO
00:23:27.00\00:23:32.07
REMEMBER WHAT THIS WOMAN
JUST DID, WHEREVER THE GOSPEL IS
00:23:32.07\00:23:35.14
PREACHED.' YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW,
ALL OVER THE WORLD, THERE ARE
00:23:35.14\00:23:37.78
BILLIONS OF PEOPLE AND LOTS OF
MILLIONS OF CHRISTIANS - ABOUT 2
00:23:37.78\00:23:40.82
BILLION CATHOLICS AND
PROTESTANTS COMBINED, AND I'LL
00:23:40.82\00:23:44.12
BET YOU THERE'S SEVERAL PLACES
IN THE WORLD WHERE PEOPLE ARE
00:23:44.12\00:23:46.52
TALKING ABOUT WHAT MARY
DID. IT'S IN ALL FOUR GOSPELS.
00:23:46.52\00:23:50.29
AND JESUS MADE THAT
PREDICTION AND IT CAME TRUE.
00:23:50.29\00:23:55.96
WHAT A STRANGE
THING TO FORETELL.
00:23:55.96\00:23:58.67
AND IN THAT LITTLE ROOM, WHEN
THEY WERE ALL MAKING FUN OF HER,
00:23:58.67\00:24:01.50
HE SAID, 'YOU'RE
PUTTING DOWN WHAT SHE'S DOING.
00:24:01.50\00:24:03.91
I'M TELLING YOU, WHAT SHE
DID IS GOING TO BE REPEATED AND
00:24:03.91\00:24:06.57
PROCLAIMED AROUND THE WORLD
AND IT WILL INSPIRE PEOPLE TO
00:24:06.57\00:24:09.74
SERVICE AND
GENEROSITY AROUND THE WORLD.
00:24:09.74\00:24:13.75
AND SO WAS IT A WASTE?
THINK ABOUT THE RIVER OF
00:24:13.75\00:24:22.26
OFFERINGS AND SERVICE THAT
HAS COME INTO THE CHURCH OF
00:24:22.26\00:24:24.86
GOD FROM WHAT MARY
DID. WAS IT A WASTE?
00:24:24.86\00:24:28.30
NO, IT HAS GOTTEN MILLIONS
TIMES COMPOUNDED INTEREST.
00:24:28.30\00:24:34.24
SOMEONE'S GOING TO LOOK UP
FOR ME MATTHEW 26:14-16 - YOU'LL
00:24:34.24\00:24:38.07
HAVE THAT? OKAY. I'M GOING TO
READ JOHN 12:4, BUT ONE OF HIS
00:24:38.07\00:24:42.21
DISCIPLES - WHO IS IT
THAT'S COMPLAINING SPECIFICALLY?
00:24:42.21\00:24:45.01
MATTHEW TELLS US
'THEY COMPLAINED'.
00:24:45.01\00:24:46.95
JOHN TELLS US WHO IT WAS.
"BUT ONE OF HIS DISCIPLES, JUDAS
00:24:46.95\00:24:50.62
ISCARIOT, SIMON'S SON,
WHO WOULD BETRAY HIM," -
00:24:50.62\00:24:53.59
THERE WAS ANOTHER JUDAS
DISCIPLE - JUDAS WAS A VERY
00:24:53.59\00:24:56.93
COMMON NAME BECAUSE IT'S BASED
ON THE TRIBE OF JUDAH - "...WHO
00:24:56.93\00:25:01.13
WOULD BETRAY HIM SAID, 'WHY WAS
THIS FRAGRANT OIL NOT SOLD FOR
00:25:01.13\00:25:04.40
THREE HUNDRED DENARII
AND GIVEN TO THE POOR?'
00:25:04.40\00:25:06.94
THIS HE SAID, NOT THAT HE CARED
FOR THE POOR, BUT BECAUSE HE WAS
00:25:06.94\00:25:10.37
A THIEF, AND HAD THE MONEY BOX;
AND HE USED TO TAKE WHAT WAS PUT
00:25:10.37\00:25:14.34
IN IT." ARE THERE
ALSO SOME HYPOCRITICAL
00:25:14.34\00:25:18.41
PASTORS AND EVANGELISTS
OUT THERE THAT EXPLOIT PEOPLE'S
00:25:18.41\00:25:21.62
MONEY UNDER THE PRETENSE
OF IT GOING TO THE POOR?
00:25:21.62\00:25:27.19
JOB WAS - RATHER JUDAS
WAS ONE OF THOSE, WASN'T HE?
00:25:27.19\00:25:31.86
ALRIGHT, READ FOR US
PLEASE, MATTHEW 26:14.
00:25:31.86\00:25:34.83
>>"THEN ONE OF THE TWELVE,
CALLED JUDAS ISCARIOT, WENT TO
00:25:34.83\00:25:37.93
THE CHIEF PRIESTS AND SAID,
'WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO GIVE ME
00:25:37.93\00:25:41.34
IF I DELIVER HIM TO YOU?'
AND THEY COUNTED OUT TO HIM
00:25:41.34\00:25:45.04
THIRTY PIECES OF SILVER.
SO FROM THAT TIME HE SOUGHT
00:25:45.04\00:25:48.28
OPPORTUNITY TO BETRAY HIM."
>>WHAT WAS IT THAT MOVED JUDAS
00:25:48.28\00:25:53.82
TO GO RIGHT FROM THAT
DINNER TO MAKE AN AGREEMENT
00:25:53.82\00:25:57.05
WITH THE PRIESTS?
BETHANY'S NOT THAT FAR FROM
00:25:57.05\00:25:59.45
JERUSALEM - IT'S JUST A COUPLE
OF MILES AWAY. YOU KNOW, WHEN
00:25:59.45\00:26:05.46
JUDAS BEGAN TO MURMUR AMONG THE
OTHER APOSTLES AND THE PEOPLE OF
00:26:05.46\00:26:09.86
THE DINNER AND SAY, 'OH, WASN'T
THIS A TERRIBLE - THAT - WASTE
00:26:09.86\00:26:13.20
OF MONEY? AND LOOK WHO IT IS
THAT'S TOUCHING HIM. SHE SHOULD
00:26:13.20\00:26:16.50
HAVE GIVEN THAT TO THE POOR.
I WOULD HAVE KEPT THE MONEY AND
00:26:16.50\00:26:19.41
GIVEN IT TO THE POOR.' AND THEN
JESUS REBUKES HIM AND SAYS, 'YOU
00:26:19.41\00:26:26.92
HAVE THE POOR WITH YOU ALWAYS,
BUT ME YOU DON'T ALWAYS HAVE.
00:26:26.92\00:26:30.12
AND WHAT THIS WOMAN HAS DONE IS
GOING TO BE HONORED.' AND JESUS
00:26:30.12\00:26:32.62
NOW - JUDAS IS FEELING A LITTLE
BIT REBUKED BY ALL OF THIS.
00:26:32.62\00:26:36.26
AND YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE
REALLY BOTHERED JUDAS? JUDAS WAS
00:26:36.26\00:26:38.86
CONTROLLED BY GREED. MARY
WAS CONTROLLED BY GRATITUDE.
00:26:38.86\00:26:44.67
JUDAS WANTED THE HIGHEST PLACE.
MARY'S TAKING THE LOWEST PLACE.
00:26:44.67\00:26:48.67
JUDAS FEELS REBUKED NOT ONLY BY
JESUS, BUT BY MARY'S ACTION AND
00:26:48.67\00:26:54.04
HE GOES OUT ANGRY AND HE SAYS,
'WELL, I CAN TAKE CARE OF THIS.'
00:26:54.04\00:26:58.75
AND HE GOES RIGHT FROM THAT
DINNER TO THE HIGH PRIESTS AND
00:26:58.75\00:27:01.55
COVENANTS TO BETRAY
HIM. HE STARTS LOOKING FOR AN
00:27:01.55\00:27:04.85
OPPORTUNITY TO DO IT
WHEN THERE'S NO CROWD AROUND.
00:27:04.85\00:27:07.16
ALRIGHT, THE NEW
COVENANT IS OUR NEXT SECTION.
00:27:07.16\00:27:10.16
MATTHEW 26:17, "NOW ON THE FIRST
DAY OF THE FEAST OF UNLEAVENED
00:27:10.16\00:27:14.83
BREAD THE DISCIPLES CAME TO
JESUS, SAYING TO HIM, 'WHERE DO
00:27:14.83\00:27:19.83
YOU WANT US TO PREPARE
FOR YOU TO EAT THE PASSOVER?'
00:27:19.83\00:27:23.44
AND HE SAID, 'GO INTO THE CITY
TO A CERTAIN MAN, AND SAY TO
00:27:23.44\00:27:27.08
HIM, 'THE TEACHER SAYS, 'MY
TIME IS AT HAND I WILL KEEP THE
00:27:27.08\00:27:31.25
PASSOVER AT YOUR HOUSE WITH MY
DISCIPLES.''" - GO TO VERSE 19 -
00:27:31.25\00:27:35.05
IT SAYS, "SO THE DISCIPLES DID
AS JESUS HAD DIRECTED THEM; AND
00:27:35.05\00:27:37.65
THEY PREPARED THE PASSOVER."
I WANT ALSO TO NOTE - I WANT YOU
00:27:37.65\00:27:40.49
TO NOTICE MARK, WHEN HE TALKS
ABOUT THIS INCIDENT, HE ADDS
00:27:40.49\00:27:43.26
SOMETHING ELSE - MARK 14:13,
"AND HE SENT OUT TWO OF HIS
00:27:43.26\00:27:47.50
DISCIPLES AND SAID TO THEM, 'GO
INTO THE CITY, AND A MAN WILL
00:27:47.50\00:27:50.43
MEET YOU CARRYING A
PITCHER OF WATER; FOLLOW HIM.
00:27:50.43\00:27:55.97
WHEREVER HE GOES IN, SAY TO THE
MASTER OF THE HOUSE," - THERE'S
00:27:55.97\00:27:59.37
A SERVANT, HE'LL BE GETTING
WATER FROM THE TOWN WELL, YOU
00:27:59.37\00:28:02.04
FOLLOW THAT MAN. HE'S
GOT A PITCHER OF WATER.
00:28:02.04\00:28:04.35
OFTEN THE WOMEN USED TO CARRY
THE WATER AND SO THEY SAID,
00:28:04.35\00:28:06.58
'HE WON'T BE HARD TO SPOT.
00:28:06.58\00:28:07.92
FOLLOW HIM.' THEY FOLLOW HIM
UP AND DOWN THE STREETS - HE'S
00:28:07.92\00:28:11.45
PROBABLY LOOKING OVER HIS
SHOULDER WONDERING WHAT'S GOING
00:28:11.45\00:28:13.15
ON AND HE SAYS, "'WHEREVER
HE GOES IN, SAY TO THE MASTER OF
00:28:13.15\00:28:16.79
THE HOUSE, 'THE TEACHER SAYS,
'WHERE IS THE GUEST ROOM IN
00:28:16.79\00:28:19.83
WHICH I MAY EAT THE
PASSOVER WITH MY DISCIPLES?''
00:28:19.83\00:28:22.36
THEN HE WILL SHOW YOU A
LARGE UPPER ROOM, FURNISHED AND
00:28:22.36\00:28:24.90
PREPARED;'" - ALL READY -
"'THERE MAKE READY FOR US.'"
00:28:24.90\00:28:28.40
IT'S INTERESTING
HOW GOD PROVIDES.
00:28:28.40\00:28:29.80
WHEN JESUS COMES INTO JERUSALEM
HE SAYS, 'I NEED A CONVEYANCE.
00:28:29.80\00:28:35.24
I'M SUPPOSED TO RIDE A COLT
AND I DON'T HAVE A COLT.' SO HE
00:28:35.24\00:28:41.72
SENDS THE DISCIPLES INTO TOWN
AND SAYS, 'YOU'LL SEE A COLT
00:28:41.72\00:28:44.42
TIED, JUST TELL THEM THE LORD
HAS NEED OF IT AND THEY'LL LET
00:28:44.42\00:28:47.76
IT GO.' IT'S INTERESTING HOW
WHEN GOD NEEDS SOMETHING, HE HAS
00:28:47.76\00:28:51.29
PEOPLE THAT WILL
PROVIDE IT. YOU GOT THAT?
00:28:51.29\00:28:54.30
AND WHEN HE NEEDS AN UPPER ROOM?
THEY SAY, 'OH, WHERE ARE WE
00:28:54.30\00:28:56.56
GOING TO GET A ROOM BIG ENOUGH?
WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY IN OUR
00:28:56.56\00:28:58.33
BUDGET FOR A HOTEL
ROOM TO EAT THE PASSOVER.
00:28:58.33\00:29:00.97
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO'
- HE SAYS, 'DON'T WORRY.
00:29:00.97\00:29:02.40
I'VE GOT IT
COVERED. GOD'S GOT PLANS.
00:29:02.40\00:29:04.54
AND YOU NOTICE, HE ALSO MAKES
THEM WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE.
00:29:04.54\00:29:07.74
IT SAYS, 'HE'LL SHOW YOU WHERE
TO GO IN AND YOU CAN GO RIGHT IN
00:29:07.74\00:29:10.91
AND START PREPARING.'
AND THIS IS FOR THE NEXT DAY.
00:29:10.91\00:29:14.12
AND THEN HE FINDS OUT.
JUST, SOMETIMES, GOD KEEPS YOU
00:29:14.12\00:29:16.55
WAITING UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE.
ALRIGHT, IT'S MOVING ALONG HERE
00:29:16.55\00:29:19.42
TALKING ABOUT THE COVENANT.
I'M GOING TO READ MATTHEW
00:29:19.42\00:29:21.36
26:26 THROUGH 29 NOW. NOW
DURING DINNER, "AND AS THEY
00:29:21.36\00:29:27.60
WERE EATING, JESUS TOOK BREAD,
BLESSED AND BROKE IT, AND GAVE
00:29:27.60\00:29:32.03
IT TO THE DISCIPLES AND SAID,
'TAKE, EAT; THIS IS MY BODY.
00:29:32.03\00:29:35.97
THEN HE TOOK THE CUP, AND GAVE
THANKS, AND GAVE IT TO THEM,
00:29:35.97\00:29:39.51
SAYING, 'DRINK
FROM IT, ALL OF YOU.
00:29:39.51\00:29:42.11
FOR THIS IS MY BLOOD OF THE NEW
COVENANT, WHICH IS SHED FOR MANY
00:29:42.11\00:29:44.98
FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS.
BUT I SAY TO YOU, I WILL NOT
00:29:44.98\00:29:48.65
DRINK OF THIS FRUIT OF THE VINE
FROM NOW ON UNTIL THAT DAY WHEN
00:29:48.65\00:29:51.65
I DRINK IT NEW WITH YOU IN MY
FATHER'S KINGDOM.'" FIRST THING
00:29:51.65\00:29:54.92
I WANT YOU TO REMEMBER
IS THE LAST THING I READ.
00:29:54.92\00:29:57.39
WHEN PEOPLE CELEBRATE THE LAST
SUPPER, WHAT KIND OF BREAD IS
00:29:57.39\00:30:01.83
IT? UNLEAVENED BREAD. WHAT
KIND OF WINE? UNFERMENTED WINE.
00:30:01.83\00:30:10.81
LEAVENING AND FERMENTATION
ARE THE SAME PROCESS.
00:30:10.81\00:30:14.24
THE BREAD WAS UNLEAVENED
- HOW DO WE KNOW THAT?
00:30:14.24\00:30:17.08
JESUS SAID, 'I'M NOT GOING TO
DRINK IT UNTIL I DRINK IT WITH
00:30:17.08\00:30:19.58
YOU NEW.' WHAT
KIND OF WINE WAS IT?
00:30:19.58\00:30:22.55
NEW WINE. IS NEW WINE FERMENTED?
00:30:22.55\00:30:25.02
NO, JESUS TALKS ABOUT YOU DON'T
PUT NEW WINE - HE COMPARED HIS
00:30:25.02\00:30:29.22
GOSPEL TO THE NEW
WINE - IN OLD VESSELS.
00:30:29.22\00:30:32.09
PEOPLE SAY, 'WELL, JESUS TURNED
THE WATER INTO WINE.' WELL,
00:30:32.09\00:30:36.03
THAT'S THE SAME WORD THAT'S USED
- THEY HAD NO WORD FOR GRAPE
00:30:36.03\00:30:38.40
JUICE, WINE WAS
THE JUICE OF THE GRAPE.
00:30:38.40\00:30:40.47
THEY HAD BOTH THE OLD WINE THAT
WAS FERMENTED, AND THEY HAD THE
00:30:40.47\00:30:42.70
NEW WINE THAT WAS UNFERMENTED.
JESUS DID NOT MAKE A BUNCH
00:30:42.70\00:30:45.94
OF BOOZE FOR THE PARTY.
THINK OF ALL THE FALL-OUT AND
00:30:45.94\00:30:50.21
BAD THINGS THAT HAPPEN FROM THAT
AND IT'S HIGHLY DOUBTFUL THAT
00:30:50.21\00:30:53.21
JESUS WOULD ENDORSE THAT,
ESPECIALLY SINCE THE BIBLE SAYS,
00:30:53.21\00:30:55.85
'WINE IS A MOCKER, STRONG
DRINK IS RAGING, WHOEVER IS
00:30:55.85\00:30:58.92
DECEIVED THEREBY IS NOT WISE.
AND WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT ALL OF
00:30:58.92\00:31:02.42
THE DIFFICULTIES - I REMEMBER
GROWING UP, WE WERE REQUIRED
00:31:02.42\00:31:07.46
AT MILITARY SCHOOL TO
GO TO RELIGIOUS SERVICES.
00:31:07.46\00:31:09.76
I THINK I'VE
MENTIONED THIS BEFORE.
00:31:09.76\00:31:11.40
AND SINCE MY FATHER HAD A
BAPTIST BACKGROUND, MY MOTHER
00:31:11.40\00:31:14.70
WAS JEWISH, AND THEY'D SENT
ME TO CATHOLIC SCHOOLS, I WOULD
00:31:14.70\00:31:17.04
ROTATE THROUGH ALL THREE
SERVICES. THEY HAD A PROTESTANT
00:31:17.04\00:31:19.94
SERVICE - EACH SUNDAY - THEY
WERE ALL SUNDAY - PROTESTANT
00:31:19.94\00:31:22.64
SERVICE, HEBREW
SERVICE, AND CATHOLIC SERVICE.
00:31:22.64\00:31:27.02
AND I REMEMBER ONE DAY I WENT
TO THE CATHOLIC SERVICE AND,
00:31:27.02\00:31:29.48
BECAUSE WE HAD A LOT OF STUDENTS
- I THINK THEY HAD MORE THAN ONE
00:31:29.48\00:31:33.05
SERVICE, AND THE PRIEST ALSO HAD
OTHER CHURCHES HE TOOK CARE OF,
00:31:33.05\00:31:37.23
AS A SERVICE HE WOULD GO OVER
AND DO THE MILITARY ACADEMY AND
00:31:37.23\00:31:40.63
THEN HE'D GO OTHER
PLACES TO HIS PARISH.
00:31:40.63\00:31:42.73
AND I GUESS WE GOT HIM ONE
AFTERNOON WHEN HE'D ALREADY DONE
00:31:42.73\00:31:45.50
SEVERAL MASSES AND HE WAS TIPSY
FROM DRINKING THE WINE BECAUSE
00:31:45.50\00:31:49.37
HE'D SAY HIS, YOU KNOW, IN THE
LATIN MASS, AND THEN HE'D DRINK.
00:31:49.37\00:31:54.81
AND HE WAS OBVIOUSLY INEBRIATED
AND I THOUGHT, 'THIS CAN'T BE
00:31:54.81\00:31:58.05
WHAT JESUS IS TELLING US
TO DO IN REMEMBRANCE OF HIM.
00:31:58.05\00:32:01.38
AND SINCE THE BREAD
IS A SYMBOL OF WHAT?
00:32:01.38\00:32:06.35
HIS BODY, A HOLY
LIFE, UNLEAVENED BREAD.
00:32:06.35\00:32:09.19
AND THE GRAPE JUICE IS A SYMBOL
OF WHAT? HIS BLOOD, WHICH IS
00:32:09.19\00:32:14.40
PURE, SINLESS LIFE, THEN I THINK
IT'S PRETTY CLEAR THAT THIS WAS
00:32:14.40\00:32:19.67
UNFERMENTED AND HE SAID,
'I'LL DRINK IT WITH YOU NEW IN
00:32:19.67\00:32:22.30
MY FATHER'S KINGDOM.'
RIGHT? SO HE INSTITUTES
00:32:22.30\00:32:25.54
THE LORD'S
SUPPER. NOW, WHAT WAS THE
00:32:25.54\00:32:27.74
OCCASION FOR THIS
DINNER? IT'S PASSOVER.
00:32:27.74\00:32:32.41
HE SAYS, 'WITH LONGING I'VE
LONGED TO EAT THE PASSOVER.'
00:32:32.41\00:32:34.82
PASSOVER WAS ONE OF THE
MOST IMPORTANT JEWISH FEASTS.
00:32:34.82\00:32:37.42
IF YOU LOOK IN EXODUS CHAPTER
12, MOSES SAID, 'THIS IS THE
00:32:37.42\00:32:42.49
BEGINNING OF MONTHS FOR YOU.'
WHEN THEY CAME OUT OF EGYPT THAT
00:32:42.49\00:32:46.06
MARKED THE BEGINNING OF
THE NATION. JESUS CHOSE THAT
00:32:46.06\00:32:50.00
OCCASION TO INSTITUTE THE NEW
COVENANT. DO WE STILL SACRIFICE
00:32:50.00\00:32:55.17
LAMBS, OR DID THE PASSOVER
GO THROUGH A CONVERSION WITH
00:32:55.17\00:32:59.07
CHRIST? THE PASSOVER WAS A
SHADOW. WHEN CHRIST FINALLY
00:32:59.07\00:33:03.48
COMES, EVERYTHING THAT IT
POINTED TO WAS FULFILLED IN HIM.
00:33:03.48\00:33:07.65
WHEN HE DIED ON THE CROSS, WHAT
HAPPENED TO THE JEWISH TEMPLE?
00:33:07.65\00:33:11.52
THE VEIL WAS RENT -
THE HOLY PLACE EXPOSED.
00:33:11.52\00:33:14.89
DURING HIS TRIAL, WHAT DID
THE PRIEST DO TO HIS GARMENTS?
00:33:14.89\00:33:19.13
HIGH PRIEST - TORE HIS
OWN GARMENTS, REMEMBER?
00:33:19.13\00:33:22.56
YOU'RE NEVER
SUPPOSED TO DO THAT.
00:33:22.56\00:33:23.80
SO HERE YOU'VE GOT THE VEIL
IN THE TEMPLE - NEW TEMPLE - YOU
00:33:23.80\00:33:27.34
ARE THE TEMPLE OF GOD, THE VEIL
WAS TORN - HIGH PRIEST TEARS HIS
00:33:27.34\00:33:30.17
GARMENTS - NEW PRIESTHOOD
- YOU ARE A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD.
00:33:30.17\00:33:34.98
AND SO NOW DO WE SACRIFICE
LAMBS DURING THE PASSOVER?
00:33:34.98\00:33:38.85
JESUS IS THE LAMB.
CHRIST IS OUR PASSOVER, PAUL
00:33:38.85\00:33:41.15
SAYS, THAT SACRIFICED FOR
US. SO WHENEVER WE CELEBRATE THE
00:33:41.15\00:33:44.22
LORD'S SUPPER, IT'S SORT OF
A REMINDER OF HOW THE CHILDREN
00:33:44.22\00:33:48.22
OF ISRAEL WERE SAVED FROM
THE ANGEL OF DEATH, THAT GREAT
00:33:48.22\00:33:53.19
JUDGMENT, BECAUSE OF
THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB.
00:33:53.19\00:33:55.36
NOW WE KNOW WHAT
THAT MEANS TODAY.
00:33:55.36\00:33:57.40
PROBABLY MANY OF
THEM WEREN'T QUITE SURE.
00:33:57.40\00:33:59.57
THEY THOUGHT THAT
THE VIRTUE WAS IN A LAMB.
00:33:59.57\00:34:01.40
THAT LAMB WAS A SYMBOL OF JESUS,
SO WHEN JOHN THE BAPTIST SAID,
00:34:01.40\00:34:05.44
'BEHOLD, THE LAMB OF GOD THAT
TAKES AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD,
00:34:05.44\00:34:08.41
THEY ALL THOUGHT
ABOUT THE PASSOVER LAMB.
00:34:08.41\00:34:11.85
JESUS IS THAT LAMB. AND SO
HE INSTITUTED THE NEW COVENANT.
00:34:11.85\00:34:15.32
NOW WHEN WE READ OUR BIBLES, AND
YOU THINK THE FIRST PART OF THE
00:34:15.32\00:34:20.36
BIBLE YOU'VE GOT THE OLD
COVENANT, LAST PART YOU'VE GOT
00:34:20.36\00:34:22.92
THE NEW COVENANT. WHERE DOES
THE NEW COVENANT FIRST APPEAR?
00:34:22.92\00:34:27.60
YOU KNOW, IT - YOU FIND IT
-YEAH, IN THE OLD TESTAMENT.
00:34:27.60\00:34:30.17
JEREMIAH - I THINK IT'S 31:31?
IT MAY BE. IT SAYS, 'BEHOLD, I
00:34:30.17\00:34:36.20
MAKE A NEW COVENANT WITH
THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL.' AND SO YOU
00:34:36.20\00:34:40.08
FIRST FIND THAT AND IT'S
REPEATED IN EZEKIEL AND THEN YOU
00:34:40.08\00:34:43.55
FIND IT IN THE NEW TESTAMENT,
EVEN REPEATED WORD FOR WORD IN
00:34:43.55\00:34:46.08
HEBREWS. SO WE'RE LIVING,
NOW, UNDER THE TIME OF THE NEW
00:34:46.08\00:34:48.75
COVENANT. OKAY, NOW
WE'RE GETTING TO THE SECTION ON
00:34:48.75\00:34:51.02
GETHSEMANE AND I NEED SOMEBODY
TO READ TO ME MATTHEW 26:30.
00:34:51.02\00:34:56.59
>>"AND WHEN THEY HAD SUNG A
HYMN, THEY WENT OUT TO THE MOUNT
00:34:56.59\00:34:59.09
OF OLIVES." >>THIS
IS ONE OF THE ONLY TIMES
00:34:59.09\00:35:01.83
YOU'RE GOING TO FIND IN THE
BIBLE WHERE IT SAYS JESUS SANG.
00:35:01.83\00:35:05.87
NOW THAT'S NOT BECAUSE IT WAS
THE ONLY TIME HE SANG, IT'S JUST
00:35:05.87\00:35:08.54
ONE OF THE ONLY RECORDED PLACES
WHERE IT TALKS ABOUT JESUS
00:35:08.54\00:35:10.87
SINGING. AND SO, EVEN THOUGH
HE KNOWS HE'S ABOUT TO GO TO
00:35:10.87\00:35:15.64
THE CROSS, HE SINGS WITH THEM.
AND THEY HAD - IF YOU GO TO THE
00:35:15.64\00:35:19.51
PSALMS THEY HAD SEVERAL PSALMS
THAT WERE CALLED, YOU KNOW, THE
00:35:19.51\00:35:22.68
PASCAL, OR PASSOVER
PSALMS. SO THEY SING TOGETHER
00:35:22.68\00:35:26.15
AND WHERE DO THEY GO?
TO THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
00:35:26.15\00:35:28.96
WHERE, IN
PARTICULAR, DO THEY GO?
00:35:28.96\00:35:32.13
A PLACE CALLED GETHSEMANE.
NOW GETHSEMANE IS A SMALL OLIVE
00:35:32.13\00:35:36.43
ORCHARD WITH A GARDEN ACROSS
THE BROOK KIDRON AT THE FOOT OF
00:35:36.43\00:35:41.90
MOUNT - THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
I'VE BEEN THERE ON A TOUR TO
00:35:41.90\00:35:45.01
JERUSALEM AND THEY
HAVE AN OLIVE PRESS THERE.
00:35:45.01\00:35:49.34
IT'S A PLACE WHERE OLIVES WERE
CRUSHED THAT THE OIL MIGHT COME
00:35:49.34\00:35:52.88
FORTH AND THE OIL IS WHAT
PROVIDED THE BURNING OF THE
00:35:52.88\00:35:58.42
FLAME IN THE TEMPLE -
IT GAVE THE OLIVE OIL.
00:35:58.42\00:36:01.96
JESUS BEING CRUSHED MADE IT
POSSIBLE FOR HIM TO PURCHASE THE
00:36:01.96\00:36:05.39
OUTPOURING OF THE
SPIRIT FOR YOU AND ME.
00:36:05.39\00:36:09.30
IT'S INTERESTING, YOU LOOK
AT JOHN 18 - JOHN - GOSPEL - 18,
00:36:09.30\00:36:14.70
VERSE 1, "WHEN JESUS SPOKE THESE
WORDS" - AFTER HE TEACHES THEM
00:36:14.70\00:36:17.97
IN THE UPPER ROOM - "HE WENT
OUT WITH HIS DISCIPLES OVER THE
00:36:17.97\00:36:21.78
BROOK KIDRON, WHERE THERE
WAS A GARDEN, WHICH HE AND HIS
00:36:21.78\00:36:25.75
DISCIPLES ENTERED." THE
BROOK KIDRON, IF YOU KNOW
00:36:25.75\00:36:29.52
YOUR - GEOGRAPHY, ACTUALLY IS
HELPFUL. YOU'VE GOT THE TEMPLE -
00:36:29.52\00:36:34.62
HERE'S THE TEMPLE.
HERE'S THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
00:36:34.62\00:36:37.79
GET TEMPLE -
GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE.
00:36:37.79\00:36:39.53
BETWEEN THE
MOUNTAINS THERE'S A VALLEY.
00:36:39.53\00:36:42.23
THAT VALLEY IS WHERE THE
BLOOD FLOWED FROM THE TEMPLE.
00:36:42.23\00:36:45.97
THERE WAS,
LITERALLY - I'VE SEEN IT.
00:36:45.97\00:36:48.14
THEY HAD A TUNNEL UNDER THE
ALTAR WHERE THE BLOOD WENT AND
00:36:48.14\00:36:53.01
IT RAN OUT INTO THE KIDRON.
THE KIDRON HAD A LITTLE CREEK -
00:36:53.01\00:36:56.24
THAT THEY WERE NOT TO EAT
FROM THE - DRINK FROM THE KIDRON
00:36:56.24\00:36:58.81
BROOK BECAUSE THAT BROOK
WOULD RUN DOWN INTO THE JORDAN
00:36:58.81\00:37:02.02
AND OFF INTO THE DEAD SEA.
SO WHEN IT SAYS HE WENT ACROSS
00:37:02.02\00:37:05.62
THE KIDRON, THE KIDRON WAS RED
WITH BLOOD DURING THE PASSOVER.
00:37:05.62\00:37:11.73
JOSEPHUS, THE HISTORIAN, SAYS
THAT THEY SACRIFICED AS MANY AS
00:37:11.73\00:37:16.26
250,000 LAMBS IN JERUSALEM IN
THE TIME OF CHRIST, DURING THE
00:37:16.26\00:37:21.94
PASSOVER - 250,000.
IT WAS A VERY EFFICIENT
00:37:21.94\00:37:27.98
OPERATION AND THERE WAS, QUITE
LITERALLY, A RIVER OF BLOOD.
00:37:27.98\00:37:32.68
AND SO THE FACT THAT CHRIST
CROSSED OVER THE BLOOD - YOU
00:37:32.68\00:37:35.38
KNOW, THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL
CROSSED THE RED SEA AND JESUS
00:37:35.38\00:37:39.45
CROSSED OVER THE BLOOD FOR US.
AND NOW, WHEN HE - AFTER THEY
00:37:39.45\00:37:46.90
HAVE THE DINNER,
BECAUSE IT'S PASSOVER,
00:37:46.90\00:37:49.60
IT'S A FULL MOON.
YOU CAN SEE A LITTLE BIT.
00:37:49.60\00:37:52.30
THE MOON'S ALMOST
FULL NOW, ISN'T IT?
00:37:52.30\00:37:55.17
I THINK I SAW IT UP THE OTHER
NIGHT. AND YOU CAN SEE A LITTLE
00:37:55.17\00:37:58.17
BIT AND HE'S GOING UP THE
SIDE OF THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
00:37:58.17\00:38:01.01
DO YOU KNOW THAT JESUS, HE
WEPT IN A GARDEN ON THE MOUNT OF
00:38:01.01\00:38:05.68
OLIVES. JESUS IS
THE SON OF DAVID.
00:38:05.68\00:38:07.72
DO YOU REMEMBER READING WHEN
DAVID IS FLEEING FROM ABSALOM,
00:38:07.72\00:38:11.52
DAVID WEEPS ON
THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
00:38:11.52\00:38:14.42
AND JESUS IS THE SON OF DAVID.
SO THAT'S JUST - IT'S A - WHEN
00:38:14.42\00:38:19.96
DAVID - DAVID, KIND OF, HAD LOST
THE KINGDOM - OR THE KINGDOM WAS
00:38:19.96\00:38:24.73
AT RISK WHEN HE WAS
WEEPING ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
00:38:24.73\00:38:27.94
RIGHT NOW THE KINGDOM IS IN THE
BALANCE AS JESUS IS WEEPING ON
00:38:27.94\00:38:32.17
THE MOUNT OF
OLIVES IN GETHSEMANE.
00:38:32.17\00:38:34.21
ALRIGHT, JUDAS SELLS HIS SOUL
. LUKE 22 - AND SOMEONE, IN A
00:38:34.21\00:38:40.32
MOMENT, IS GOING TO
READ JOHN 13:30, OKAY?
00:38:40.32\00:38:44.02
IN LUKE 22, VERSE 3, "THEN
SATAN ENTERED JUDAS, SURNAMED
00:38:44.02\00:38:49.32
ISCARIOT, WHO WAS
NUMBERED AMONG THE TWELVE.
00:38:49.32\00:38:52.46
SO HE WENT HIS WAY AND CONFERRED
WITH THE CHIEF PRIESTS AND
00:38:52.46\00:38:55.56
CAPTAINS, HOW HE
MIGHT BETRAY HIM TO THEM.
00:38:55.56\00:38:58.53
AND THEY WERE GLAD, AND
AGREED TO GIVE HIM MONEY."
00:38:58.53\00:39:00.77
- 30 PIECES OF SILVER - NOW WE
DON'T KNOW EXACTLY HOW MUCH IT
00:39:00.77\00:39:03.81
WAS BECAUSE IT JUST SAYS,
'PIECE OF SILVER' AND THEY HAD
00:39:03.81\00:39:05.91
DIFFERENT SIZED PIECES OF
SILVER, BUT IT WAS SOMEWHERE
00:39:05.91\00:39:09.28
BETWEEN ONE AND
FOUR MONTHS' SALARY.
00:39:09.28\00:39:13.05
IT WAS THE PRICE OF A SLAVE IS
WHAT THEY - HE SOLD JESUS FOR.
00:39:13.05\00:39:19.05
HE PROMISED THEN
HE SOUGHT OPPORTUNITY.
00:39:19.05\00:39:21.59
HE WAS JUST WAITING. HE
KNEW SOMETIMES JESUS WAS
00:39:21.59\00:39:23.32
GOING TO GO WHERE ONLY HE COULD
TELL THEM, IN THE ABSENCE OF THE
00:39:23.32\00:39:26.83
MULTITUDE. ALRIGHT, GO AHEAD,
READ FOR US JOHN 13:20, PLEASE.
00:39:26.83\00:39:30.40
>>"JUDAS, HAVING RECEIVED A
PIECE OF BREAD, THEN WENT OUT
00:39:30.40\00:39:34.34
IMMEDIATELY AND IT WAS
NIGHT." >>YOU REMEMBER WHAT
00:39:34.34\00:39:37.61
HAPPENED AT THE DINNER?
JESUS SAID, 'THIS NIGHT, ONE OF
00:39:37.61\00:39:41.91
YOU IS GOING TO BETRAY ME.' AND
THE DISCIPLES ARE ALL LOOKING
00:39:41.91\00:39:46.95
AROUND - THEY'D LEARNED NOT
TO QUESTION JESUS' PROPHECIES,
00:39:46.95\00:39:49.32
BECAUSE EVERYTHING HE
SAID SEEMED TO HAPPEN.
00:39:49.32\00:39:50.99
YOU KNOW, HE SAYS 'YOU'RE GOING
TO GO FIND A DONKEY AND THEY
00:39:50.99\00:39:53.25
FIND IT. 'YOU'RE
GOING TO FIND AN UPPER
00:39:53.25\00:39:54.52
ROOM.' AND THEY FIND IT.
NOW HE SAYS, 'TONIGHT, ONE OF
00:39:54.52\00:39:56.73
YOU IS GOING TO BETRAY ME.'
AND INSTEAD OF CONTRADICTING
00:39:56.73\00:39:58.46
HIM, THEY START
LOOKING AROUND THE ROOM.
00:39:58.46\00:40:02.83
AND THEN THEY FINALLY ARE
WONDERING, 'COULD IT BE ME?'
00:40:02.83\00:40:07.30
AND ONE BY ONE THEY
BEGIN TO SAY, 'LORD, IS IT ME?'
00:40:07.30\00:40:13.24
AND ANOTHER ONE
SAYS, 'IS IT ME?'
00:40:13.24\00:40:15.78
'IS IT ME?' AND HE
DOESN'T REALLY ANSWER
00:40:15.78\00:40:17.85
THEM UNTIL JUDAS
SAYS, 'IS IT ME?'
00:40:17.85\00:40:21.42
AND JESUS SAID, 'THOU HAS SAID.'
AND IT'S INTERESTING THAT THE
00:40:21.42\00:40:26.19
WAY THAT THEY'RE SEATED
AROUND THE TABLE IS IT STARTS
00:40:26.19\00:40:28.62
WITH PETER AT HIS RIGHT HAND,
JOHN JUST NEXT TO PETER AND IT
00:40:28.62\00:40:32.39
WRAPS ALL THE WAY AROUND
AND JUDAS IS AT HIS LEFT HAND.
00:40:32.39\00:40:35.16
SO JUDAS IS AT THE END
OF THE CIRCLE, SO TO SPEAK.
00:40:35.16\00:40:39.30
AND THEY KIND OF
JUST GO AROUND THE TABLE.
00:40:39.30\00:40:41.30
FINALLY IT COMES TO JUDAS,
HE SAYS, 'IS IT ME?' HE SAYS,
00:40:41.30\00:40:43.07
'THOU HAS SAID.' THEY STILL
WEREN'T SURE WHAT THAT MEANT.
00:40:43.07\00:40:46.84
AND THEN, WHEN JUDAS GOT UP
AND WENT OUT, THEY THOUGHT THAT
00:40:46.84\00:40:49.71
JUDAS WAS GOING OUT - THERE'S
SOMETHING THAT STILL HASN'T BEEN
00:40:49.71\00:40:52.91
BOUGHT FOR THE FEAST OR
SOMETHING HE'S GOT TO DO.
00:40:52.91\00:40:55.28
HE'S GO THE MONEYBAG.
WHO KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING?
00:40:55.28\00:40:57.82
THEY DIDN'T WORRY ABOUT
IT. HE WAS ALWAYS COMING
00:40:57.82\00:40:59.25
AND GOING ON HIS
OWN. HE WAS THE TREASURER.
00:40:59.25\00:41:02.72
AND JESUS ACTUALLY DIPS A PIECE
OF BREAD IN SAUCE, WHICH IS
00:41:02.72\00:41:08.06
SOMETHING THEY
DID DURING THE DINNER.
00:41:08.06\00:41:10.37
HE HANDS IT TO JUDAS AND SAYS,
'GO AND DO WHAT YOU DO QUICKLY.
00:41:10.37\00:41:16.30
AND I THINK IT'S VERY
INTERESTING, IT SAYS, 'WHEN HE
00:41:16.30\00:41:18.51
RECEIVED THE BREAD,
HE WENT OUT IMMEDIATELY.
00:41:18.51\00:41:20.78
IT WAS NIGHT.' IT SAYS, 'SATAN
ENTERED JUDAS.' HE WENT OUT AND
00:41:20.78\00:41:26.31
IT WAS NIGHT. WHAT A SAD THING.
00:41:26.31\00:41:27.92
AT THAT POINT, CHRIST HAD
GRIEVED AWAY THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:41:27.92\00:41:31.45
I'M SORRY, JUDAS HAD
GRIEVED AWAY THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:41:31.45\00:41:33.62
DID JESUS WASH HIS FEET? YEAH.
00:41:33.62\00:41:38.43
AND HE STILL WOULDN'T
LET IT SOFTEN HIS HEART.
00:41:38.43\00:41:42.63
I THINK, MATTER OF FACT, YOU
READ IN THE BOOK DESIRE OF AGES
00:41:42.63\00:41:45.00
, WHEN CHRIST WAS WASHING JUDAS'
FEET, HIS FIRST IMPULSE IS HE
00:41:45.00\00:41:50.24
WAS ABOUT TO BREAK DOWN AND CRY
AND CONFESS WHAT HE HAD DONE AND
00:41:50.24\00:41:55.91
JESUS WOULD HAVE
FORGIVEN HIM. THERE WAS STILL
00:41:55.91\00:41:57.45
HOPE AT THAT POINT.
BUT HE HARDENED HIS HEART.
00:41:57.45\00:42:00.68
THE DEVIL SAID, 'OH, IF HE WAS
REALLY THE MESSIAH, WHAT WOULD
00:42:00.68\00:42:02.75
HE BE DOING ON HIS HANDS AND
KNEES? THE KING OF ISRAEL WOULD
00:42:02.75\00:42:05.05
NEVER BE DOING
THAT. HE'S AN IMPOSTER.
00:42:05.05\00:42:07.76
AND HE CONVINCED HIMSELF TO GO
THROUGH WITH HIS TERRIBLE DEED.
00:42:07.76\00:42:12.69
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE COMING
FORTH IN THE RESURRECTION OF THE
00:42:12.69\00:42:15.66
LOST AS JUDAS - AND KNOWING THAT
YOU HAD BETRAYED THE SON OF GOD
00:42:15.66\00:42:20.27
- NOT ONLY LOST YOUR OWN
SALVATION, BUT BEEN THE ONE WHO
00:42:20.27\00:42:23.77
CHOSE TO DENY AND BETRAY JESUS.
THAT'S JUST A THOUGHT THAT MAKES
00:42:23.77\00:42:28.51
US SHUDDER TO THINK
ABOUT. NOW THEY'RE IN THE
00:42:28.51\00:42:31.21
GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE.
YOU READ IN MATTHEW CHAPTER
00:42:31.21\00:42:33.58
26, "AND WHILE HE WAS STILL
SPEAKING, BEHOLD, JUDAS, ONE
00:42:33.58\00:42:38.65
OF THE TWELVE, WITH A GREAT
MULTITUDE WITH SWORDS AND CLUBS,
00:42:38.65\00:42:41.89
CAME FROM THE CHIEF PRIESTS
AND ELDERS OF THE PEOPLE.
00:42:41.89\00:42:45.59
NOW HIS BETRAYER HAD GIVEN
THEM A SIGN, SAYING, 'WHOMEVER I
00:42:45.59\00:42:48.93
KISS, HE IS THE ONE; SEIZE HIM.'
IMMEDIATELY HE WENT UP TO JESUS
00:42:48.93\00:42:53.57
AND SAID, 'GREETINGS, RABBI!'
AND KISSED HIM. NOW WHY DID HE
00:42:53.57\00:43:00.38
SAY 'WHICHEVER ONE I KISS?'
DIDN'T THE - AND I SHOULD BACK
00:43:00.38\00:43:04.55
UP AND SAY THERE'S - I RESPECT
- RESPECTFULLY NEED TO DISAGREE
00:43:04.55\00:43:09.12
WITH SOMETHING I
READ THERE IN THE LESSON.
00:43:09.12\00:43:10.85
IT SAID THERE WAS AS MANY AS 600
SOLDIERS, IMPLYING THEY WERE A
00:43:10.85\00:43:13.52
DETACHMENT OF ROMAN
SOLDIERS. I DON'T THINK SO.
00:43:13.52\00:43:17.26
THE ROMANS WERE
NOT INVOLVED YET.
00:43:17.26\00:43:19.26
IT WAS THE SOLDIERS
AND A MOB FROM THE PRIESTS.
00:43:19.26\00:43:23.00
YOU'LL NOTICE THERE WAS A
SERVANT FROM THE HIGH PRIEST
00:43:23.00\00:43:24.67
THAT WAS THERE. THESE
WERE SENT FROM THE TEMPLE.
00:43:24.67\00:43:27.17
THEY HADN'T GOTTEN ANY WORD
OR AUTHORITY FROM PILATE YET TO
00:43:27.17\00:43:29.97
ARREST HIM. I
DON'T THINK IT WAS 600.
00:43:29.97\00:43:33.61
I MEAN, YOU'VE GOT TWELVE
APOSTLES, YOU DON'T NEED 600.
00:43:33.61\00:43:35.88
THAT'S SORT OF USING A
CHAINSAW TO GET RID OF A FLY.
00:43:35.88\00:43:39.75
AND SO I THINK THERE, YOU
KNOW, MAY HAVE BEEN FIFTY OR A
00:43:39.75\00:43:42.92
HUNDRED AND HE WOULD HAVE
CALLED THAT A GREAT MULTITUDE.
00:43:42.92\00:43:45.72
AND THEY CAME TO
ARREST HIM. IT'S DARK.
00:43:45.72\00:43:49.36
THEY DON'T HAVE THE
SAME ARTIFICIAL LIGHT.
00:43:49.36\00:43:50.76
THEY'VE TORCHES. AND,
KEEP IN MIND, WHEN JESUS
00:43:50.76\00:43:54.30
PASSED THROUGH THE CROWD - YOU
AND I - WHEN YOU SEE PAINTINGS
00:43:54.30\00:43:57.53
OF JESUS, WHAT
COLOR ROBE IS HE WEARING?
00:43:57.53\00:44:00.77
HOW MANY SAY WHITE ROBES? I
MEAN, WHEN HE'S ON EARTH YOU
00:44:00.77\00:44:04.01
ALWAYS SEE HE'S
GOT THE WHITE ROBE.
00:44:04.01\00:44:05.17
WHERE DOES IT SAY THAT? IT
TELLS US THAT HE HAD A ROBE,
00:44:05.17\00:44:09.24
IT DOESN'T EVER
TELL US WHAT COLOR IT IS.
00:44:09.24\00:44:11.55
WHAT DO YOU THINK
HIS CLOTHES LOOKED LIKE?
00:44:11.55\00:44:14.58
PROBABLY LIKE THE
CLOTHES OF THE OTHER APOSTLES.
00:44:14.58\00:44:18.65
DID HE LOOK LIKE A MOVIE STAR?
THERE WAS NO FORM OR COMELINESS
00:44:18.65\00:44:23.09
THAT WE SHOULD DESIRE HIM.
HE LOOKED LIKE A NORMAL MAN.
00:44:23.09\00:44:30.23
AND SO, HE USED TO
SLIP THROUGH THE CROWD.
00:44:30.23\00:44:33.17
HE'D GO TO THE FEAST BY HIMSELF
AND WHEN HE WAS MIXED IN WITH
00:44:33.17\00:44:35.37
THE CROWD, NOBODY SPOTTED HIM
UNTIL HE STARTED TEACHING AND
00:44:35.37\00:44:37.77
HEALING PEOPLE. HE
LOOKED LIKE JUST EVERYBODY ELSE.
00:44:37.77\00:44:42.04
AND SO THEY TOLD JUDAS,
THEY SAID, 'WHICH ONE IS HE?'
00:44:42.04\00:44:45.68
HE SAID, 'LOOK, I'LL GO UP TO
HIM AND KISS HIM AND I'LL MAKE
00:44:45.68\00:44:49.18
LIKE I'M GREETING HIM AND YOU
COME UP BEHIND ME.' THINK ABOUT
00:44:49.18\00:44:53.69
THIS, JUDAS WAS UPSET BECAUSE
MARY KISSED HIS FEET AND THAT
00:44:53.69\00:45:00.43
SHE ANOINTED HIM.
JUDAS KISSES HIS FACE.
00:45:00.43\00:45:04.50
MARY KISSES HIS
FEET AND SERVES HIM.
00:45:04.50\00:45:07.00
JUDAS KISSES HIS
FACE AND BETRAYS HIM.
00:45:07.00\00:45:10.01
THERE'S ONLY TWO RECORDS IN THE
BIBLE OF ANYONE KISSING JESUS.
00:45:10.01\00:45:13.01
ONE KISSES HIS FEET AND SERVES,
AND THE OTHER KISSES HIS FACE
00:45:13.01\00:45:17.61
AND BETRAYS. THERE'S
A PROPHECY THAT SAYS,
00:45:17.61\00:45:21.18
'KISS THE KING' - BUT,
ALRIGHT, SO NOW YOU'VE GOT
00:45:21.18\00:45:24.75
THE DENIAL OF PETER.
AND YOU READ IN MATTHEW 26,
00:45:24.75\00:45:28.42
VERSE 69, "NOW PETER SAT
OUTSIDE" - OH, AND THEN, I THINK
00:45:28.42\00:45:33.46
YOU ALL KNOW, PETER DIDN'T MEAN
TO DENY JESUS. HE DIDN'T PLAN ON
00:45:33.46\00:45:37.23
THAT - IT WAS NOT PREMEDITATED.
WHEN THEY'RE GOING AROUND THE
00:45:37.23\00:45:40.30
CIRCLE AND THEY'RE SAYING, 'THIS
NIGHT ONE OF YOU WILL BETRAY
00:45:40.30\00:45:43.61
ME.' ONE OF THEM WHO SPEAKS
IS WHO? PETER. AND PETER SAID,
00:45:43.61\00:45:49.28
'THOUGH ALL MEN FORSAKE
YOU, I WILL NOT FORSAKE YOU.
00:45:49.28\00:45:52.45
EVEN THOUGH ALL OF THESE BETRAY
YOU, I'LL GO TO DEATH WITH YOU.'
00:45:52.45\00:45:55.55
AND WHAT DOES
JESUS SAY TO PETER?
00:45:55.55\00:45:57.45
'THIS NIGHT, BEFORE THE NIGHT IS
- THE ROOSTER CROWS TWICE YOU'LL
00:45:57.45\00:46:02.62
DENY ME THREE TIMES.' AND HIS
STATEMENT VARIES FROM ONE GOSPEL
00:46:02.62\00:46:08.16
TO THE OTHER. BUT
THE IDEA IS, BEFORE THE
00:46:08.16\00:46:09.63
ROOSTER CROWS,
YOU'RE GOING TO DENY ME.
00:46:09.63\00:46:13.00
AND PETER SAID, 'I'LL DIE FOR
YOU BEFORE I DENY YOU.' DID HE
00:46:13.00\00:46:16.40
MEAN IT WHEN HE SAID IT?' >>YES.
00:46:16.40\00:46:18.34
>>HE DID. HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?
WHEN THE MOB COMES TO ARREST
00:46:18.34\00:46:22.71
JESUS, WHAT DOES HE DO?
HE PULLS OUT A SWORD AND HE'S
00:46:22.71\00:46:27.58
READY TO FIGHT AND, IF
NEED BE, DIE FOR JESUS.
00:46:27.58\00:46:31.95
AND PETER IS A LITTLE
BIT MYSTIFIED, BECAUSE
00:46:31.95\00:46:34.32
EARLIER JESUS SAID, 'HE THAT
DOESN'T HAVE A SWORD, GET ONE.'
00:46:34.32\00:46:37.36
AND PETER SAYS, 'LORD, WE'VE GOT
TWO.' HOW MANY OF YOU REMEMBER
00:46:37.36\00:46:39.93
THAT? 'WE'VE GOT TWO SWORDS.' IS
00:46:39.93\00:46:41.90
THAT ENOUGH FOR A REVOLUTION?
AND, YOU KNOW, JESUS SAYS, 'IT
00:46:41.90\00:46:45.97
IS ENOUGH.' SOME PEOPLE THINK
THAT JESUS WAS SAYING, 'TWO
00:46:45.97\00:46:48.77
SWORDS IS ENOUGH.' JESUS,
WHEN HE SAID IT IN GREEK, IT'S
00:46:48.77\00:46:54.51
BASICALLY SAYING, 'ENOUGH OF
THIS. IT DOESN'T MEAN THE TWO
00:46:54.51\00:46:57.81
SWORDS ARE ENOUGH, HE
MEANS, YOU GUYS DON'T GET IT.
00:46:57.81\00:47:00.62
IT'S LIKE THE THING, 'OH, WE
FORGOT THE BREAD.' WHEN JESUS
00:47:00.62\00:47:02.62
SAID, 'BEWARE OF THE
LEAVEN OF THE PHARISEES.
00:47:02.62\00:47:04.52
THEY SAID, 'OH, WE FORGOT
OUR LUNCH.' HE SAID, 'I'M NOT
00:47:04.52\00:47:06.45
TALKING ABOUT THAT.' AND WHEN
HE SAID, 'HE THAT DOESN'T HAVE A
00:47:06.45\00:47:09.79
SWORD GET ONE.' THEY SAID,
'LORD, WE'VE TWO SWORDS.' HE
00:47:09.79\00:47:12.09
SAYS, 'ENOUGH OF
THIS. I DON'T MEAN THAT.'
00:47:12.09\00:47:14.36
WHAT WAS THE SWORD A
SYMBOL OF? THE WORD OF GOD.
00:47:14.36\00:47:17.93
AND SO, THEY
DID HAVE TWO SWORDS.
00:47:17.93\00:47:22.90
IT'S INTERESTING THAT WHEN
- WHEN JONATHAN AND SAUL WENT
00:47:22.90\00:47:29.58
AGAINST THE PHILISTINES, IT SAYS
THERE WERE ONLY TWO SWORDS IN
00:47:29.58\00:47:31.91
THE KINGDOM, JONATHAN
HAD ONE AND SAUL HAD ONE.
00:47:31.91\00:47:35.98
AND THE WORD OF GOD'S COMPARED
TO A DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD.
00:47:35.98\00:47:39.25
IT'S KIND OF A DUAL
NATURE FOR THE WORD OF GOD.
00:47:39.25\00:47:41.86
SO HE PULLS OUT
A SWORD TO FIGHT.
00:47:41.86\00:47:43.32
HE CUTS OFF THE
SERVANT'S EAR. JOHN TELLS US HIS
00:47:43.32\00:47:46.23
NAME WAS MALCHUS.
JESUS REACHES OVER,
00:47:46.23\00:47:48.43
HEALS HIS EAR. HE
MUST HAVE STUCK IT BACK ON
00:47:48.43\00:47:50.93
AND MIRACULOUSLY
WELDED IT BACK IN PLACE.
00:47:50.93\00:47:54.67
NOW, IF I WAS THAT SERVANT,
I WOULD HAVE LET JESUS GO RIGHT
00:47:54.67\00:47:56.71
THEN. I'D SAY, 'OH, WE'RE NOT
00:47:56.71\00:47:58.77
ARRESTING THIS GUY, HE JUST PUT
MY EAR BACK.' I MEAN, WOULDN'T
00:47:58.77\00:48:02.38
THAT MIRACLE HAVE BEEN ENOUGH?
BUT THEY WERE UNDER ORDERS.
00:48:02.38\00:48:06.48
AND SO, THEY ARRESTED JESUS AND
HE SAID, 'PUT YOUR SWORD BACK.
00:48:06.48\00:48:11.12
IF YOU LIVE BY THE
SWORD, YOU'LL DIE BY THE SWORD.
00:48:11.12\00:48:13.72
THEN THEY - ALL THE DISCIPLES
FORSOOK HIM AND FLED - ALL
00:48:13.72\00:48:17.19
TWELVE. GRADUALLY JOHN
COMES BACK TO FOLLOW HIM.
00:48:17.19\00:48:21.26
PETER FOLLOWS FROM A DISTANCE
AND IT SAYS THAT IN, I THINK,
00:48:21.26\00:48:25.87
MARK CHAPTER 14. A
LOT OF CHRISTIANS GET IN
00:48:25.87\00:48:28.47
TROUBLE BECAUSE THEY
FOLLOW JESUS FROM A DISTANCE.
00:48:28.47\00:48:31.94
HE FOLLOWED HIM,
BUT FROM A DISTANCE.
00:48:31.94\00:48:33.54
AND SO WHEN THEY - JOHN
GOES INTO THE JUDGMENT HALL.
00:48:33.54\00:48:36.21
PETER WAITS OUT THERE AND HE
SITS THERE WITH THE SERVANTS.
00:48:36.21\00:48:38.51
AND IT'S A COLD SPRING MORNING,
YOU KNOW, AT - THE NIGHT IS
00:48:38.51\00:48:42.52
CLEAR AND MOON IS OUT AND
THEY'RE SHIVERING AND THEY'VE
00:48:42.52\00:48:45.75
GOT A LITTLE COAL FIRE
AND SO HE'S STANDING THERE.
00:48:45.75\00:48:47.86
IN THE GLOW OF THE COALS, ONE
OF THE GIRLS LOOKS AT HIM, SHE
00:48:47.86\00:48:51.06
SAID, 'I SAW YOU
WITH JESUS IN THE TEMPLE.
00:48:51.06\00:48:53.80
YOU'RE ONE OF HIS FOLLOWERS.'
AND THEY'RE KIND OF LAUGHING
00:48:53.80\00:48:55.96
BECAUSE HE'S RIGHT
INSIDE BEING TRIED.
00:48:55.96\00:48:58.93
AND PETER JUST -
HE'S OVERWHELMED.
00:48:58.93\00:49:00.60
THE DEVIL SPOOKED HIM OR
SOMETHING AND HE DENIES CHRIST.
00:49:00.60\00:49:03.81
YOU KNOW HOW IT IS, YOU SAY,
'OH NO.' YOU KNOW HOW IT IS, YOU
00:49:03.81\00:49:05.41
SAY, 'I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE
TALKING ABOUT.' EVERYONE'S
00:49:05.41\00:49:07.44
LOOKING AT HIM. AND
MAYBE SHE HAD A LITTLE
00:49:07.44\00:49:09.51
CYNICISM OR A MOCK IN HER VOICE.
THEN THEY ASKED THE QUESTION
00:49:09.51\00:49:13.15
AGAIN, 'YOU'RE ONE OF HIS
FOLLOWERS.' 'NO, I DON'T KNOW
00:49:13.15\00:49:16.15
WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
I DON'T KNOW THE MAN.' AND THE
00:49:16.15\00:49:19.29
THIRD TIME SOMEONE SAYS,
'SURELY YOU'RE ONE OF THEM
00:49:19.29\00:49:21.96
BECAUSE YOUR SPEECH.
YOU'VE GOT AN ACCENT.
00:49:21.96\00:49:25.99
YOU GUYS FROM GALILEE,
YOU'VE GOT THAT NORTHERN ACCENT.
00:49:25.99\00:49:28.56
IT'S EASY TO SPOT.' YOU KNOW IN
- YOU CAN GO TO SOME STATES AND
00:49:28.56\00:49:32.93
THERE'S WORDS THEY CAN'T SAY.
WELL, THEY THINK THEY CAN SAY
00:49:32.93\00:49:36.04
THEM, BUT THEY
CAN'T SAY THEM NORMAL.
00:49:36.04\00:49:39.74
AND THE GALILEANS - FISHERMEN
- THEY HAD A STRONG ACCENT.
00:49:39.74\00:49:44.85
THEY SAID, 'YOU'RE
ONE OF THOSE GALILEANS.'
00:49:44.85\00:49:46.48
AND WHAT DOES PETER DO
THEN? SWEARING AND CURSING.
00:49:46.48\00:49:50.09
EVERY TIME YOU START GOING DOWN
THE ROAD OF DENYING CHRIST, IT
00:49:50.09\00:49:53.19
GETS EASIER AND EASIER AND YOU
GET FURTHER AND FURTHER AWAY.
00:49:53.19\00:49:55.86
AND, AFTER THAT, HE HEARS A
ROOSTER CROW IN THE DISTANCE.
00:49:55.86\00:49:59.56
I KNOW WHAT THAT SOUNDS LIKE
BECAUSE WE HAVE A ROOSTER RIGHT
00:49:59.56\00:50:01.70
ACROSS THE FENCE FROM OUR HOUSE
HERE IN TOWN. KAREN AND I HEAR A
00:50:01.70\00:50:04.90
ROOSTER EVERY MORNING AND
HE STARTS TO CROW ABOUT 5:00.
00:50:04.90\00:50:14.34
AND HE HEARS THE ROOSTER AND
THIS TIME IT'S VERY DISTINCT.
00:50:14.34\00:50:17.55
AND THEN HE TURNS TO LOOK AT
JESUS WHEN HE HEARS THE ROOSTER.
00:50:17.55\00:50:20.55
HE SEES IN THE JUDGMENT HALL
A ROMAN SOLDIER MAKES A FIST AND
00:50:20.55\00:50:24.52
IT COMES DOWN AND IT HITS JESUS
AND JESUS SHAKES HIMSELF, GETS
00:50:24.52\00:50:28.36
UP, TURNS, AND
HE LOOKS AT PETER.
00:50:28.36\00:50:31.39
AND PETER SEES A LOOK OF LOVE
AND IT JUST BREAKS HIS HEART.
00:50:31.39\00:50:35.00
AND IT SAYS HE GOES OUT
AND HE WEPT BITTERLY AT THAT.
00:50:35.00\00:50:39.73
SO THEN, OF COURSE, THE
CONCLUSION OF THE TRIAL AND
00:50:39.73\00:50:44.51
JESUS IS TAKEN TO THE CROSS AND
WE'LL BE STUDYING THIS IN OUR
00:50:44.51\00:50:48.21
LAST STUDY ON THE SUBJECT.
I THINK WE PRETTY MUCH GOT
00:50:48.21\00:50:51.58

IN OUR NEXT LESSON NEXT WEEK.
00:51:14.50\00:51:29.18
>>FRIENDS, HAVE YOU EVER
HEARD OF THE BOWHEAD WHALE?
00:51:29.18\00:51:31.59
THIS ENORMOUS LEVIATHAN IS THE
SECOND-LARGEST CREATURE IN THE
00:51:31.59\00:51:35.02
WORLD. DARK AND
STOCKY, IT ROAMS THE
00:51:35.02\00:51:37.99
FERTILE ARCTIC NORTHERN WATERS.
THESE MASSIVE CREATURES CAN BE
00:51:37.99\00:51:42.40
MORE THAN 65-FEET LONG
AND WEIGH MORE THAN 75 TONS.
00:51:42.40\00:51:46.57
THAT'S HEAVIER
THAN THE SPACE SHUTTLE.
00:51:46.57\00:51:49.34
YET, IN SPITE OF THEIR TITANIC
SIZE, THEY'RE ABLE TO LEAP
00:51:49.34\00:51:52.74
ENTIRELY OUT OF THE
WATER. CAN YOU SAY 'BELLY FLOP'?
00:51:52.74\00:51:57.81
THE BOWHEAD WHALE GETS ITS NAME
FROM ITS BOW-SHAPED SKULL - AND
00:51:57.81\00:52:01.75
THEY'VE GOT ONE
GINORMOUS NOGGIN.
00:52:01.75\00:52:04.42
MATTER OF FACT, THEIR HEADS ARE
ABOUT 40 PERCENT OF THEIR BODY
00:52:04.42\00:52:06.69
SIZE, WHICH COMES IN HANDY WHEN
YOU FIND OUT HOW THEY USE THEIR
00:52:06.69\00:52:09.86
HEADS. THEY'VE
GOT VERY THICK SKULLS.
00:52:09.86\00:52:12.76
SOMETIMES THEY GET TRAPPED UNDER
THE SURFACE AND THEY USE THEIR
00:52:12.76\00:52:15.66
HEADS TO RAM THE ICE.
THEY CAN BREAK A BREATHING HOLE
00:52:15.66\00:52:19.27
IN THE ICE THAT IS A
FOOT AND A HALF THICK.
00:52:19.27\00:52:23.00
FRIENDS, YOU HAVE TO JUST
IMAGINE WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE TO
00:52:23.00\00:52:25.24
BE WALKING AROUND ON THE ARCTIC
ICE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN HAVE THE
00:52:25.24\00:52:28.34
GROUND BENEATH YOU CRACK AND
SPLIT AND RISE AS ONE OF THESE
00:52:28.34\00:52:32.88
SEA MONSTERS PUSHES ITS HEAD UP
TO BREATH FOR THE FIRST TIME IN
00:52:32.88\00:52:36.72
90 MINUTES.
BECAUSE BOWHEADS MAKE THEIR
00:52:36.72\00:52:39.52
HOME IN THE COLDEST PART OF OUR
WORLD, THEY HAVE THE THICKEST
00:52:39.52\00:52:42.42
BLUBBER OF ANY WHALE.
BUT THIS, PLUS THEIR FRIENDLY
00:52:42.42\00:52:45.56
AND CURIOUS NATURE, MADE THEM
PRIME TARGETS WHEN THE EUROPEAN
00:52:45.56\00:52:49.10
WHALERS DISCOVERED THE
BOWHEADS. THEY HUNTED THEM
00:52:49.10\00:52:52.30
NEARLY TO EXTINCTION.
FORTUNATELY, BECAUSE OF
00:52:52.30\00:52:56.67
CONSERVATION EFFORTS, WE'VE
SLOWLY SEEN THEIR NUMBERS BEGIN
00:52:56.67\00:52:59.61
TO INCREASE SINCE THE 60S.
ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING FACTS
00:52:59.61\00:53:03.55
ABOUT THE BOWHEAD
WHALE IS ITS LONGEVITY.
00:53:03.55\00:53:06.61
SCIENTISTS HAVE DISCOVERED, BY
EVALUATING HARPOON TIPS FOUND IN
00:53:06.61\00:53:10.35
THEIR SKULL, AND EXAMINING THEIR
EYE TISSUE, THERE ARE BOWHEAD
00:53:10.35\00:53:13.99
WHALES OUT THERE THAT ARE
PROBABLY OVER 200 YEARS OLD.
00:53:13.99\00:53:18.53
YOU REALIZE THAT MEANS THERE
ARE BOWHEAD WHALES SWIMMING THE
00:53:18.53\00:53:21.36
OCEANS RIGHT NOW THAT WERE
ALIVE BEFORE ABRAHAM LINCOLN WAS
00:53:21.36\00:53:25.63
ELECTED PRESIDENT.
CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT?
00:53:25.63\00:53:29.00
AMONG THE OTHER AMAZING
MEGA-FACTS ABOUT THE BOWHEAD
00:53:29.00\00:53:31.87
WHALE, IS ITS MEGA-MOUTH.
00:53:31.87\00:53:34.34
THEY HAVE THE LARGEST MOUTH
OF ANY IN THE ANIMAL KINGDOM.
00:53:34.34\00:53:37.78
AND WHEN THEY OPEN THEIR PIE
HOLE FULL EXTENDED, IT'S LARGE
00:53:37.78\00:53:40.82
ENOUGH TO PARK A
MEDIUM-SIZED SUV INSIDE.
00:53:40.82\00:53:44.59
YET, IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT
THEY'VE GOT SUCH BIG MOUTHS,
00:53:44.59\00:53:46.89
THEY SURVIVE BY EATING THE VERY
SMALLEST CREATURES IN THE OCEAN
00:53:46.89\00:53:50.93
- PLANKTON, KRILL, AND
OTHER MICROSCOPIC ANIMALS.
00:53:50.93\00:53:55.00
FRIENDS, I'M ALWAYS AMAZED
BY THE CREATURES GOD HAS MADE.
00:53:55.00\00:53:58.20
THIS BOWHEAD WHALE IS ABLE
TO DIVE TO THE DEEPEST OCEANS.
00:53:58.20\00:54:01.50
THEY CAN BREAK THROUGH THE ICE
AND MOVE MOUNTAINS WITH THEIR
00:54:01.50\00:54:03.67
HEAD AND COMPLETELY LEAVE THE
WATER AND FLY THROUGH THE AIR.
00:54:03.67\00:54:07.44
AND YET, THEY DO ALL THAT
BY GAINING STRENGTH FROM ALMOST
00:54:07.44\00:54:10.78
MICROSCOPIC ORGANISMS.
IT HELPS US REMEMBER THAT WE
00:54:10.78\00:54:14.02
SURVIVE THROUGH THE
LITTLE PROMISES IN GOD'S WORD.
00:54:14.02\00:54:17.69
JESUS, WHEN TEMPTED BY THE
DEVIL, HE QUOTED JUST A FEW
00:54:17.69\00:54:20.46
LITTLE VERSES AND HE
SENT THE ENEMY RUNNING.
00:54:20.46\00:54:23.43
YOU CAN ALSO HAVE THAT SAME
DURABILITY AND LONG LIFE AS THE
00:54:23.43\00:54:26.36
BOWHEAD WHALE, BY TRUSTING
IN GOD'S WORD AND HIS PROMISES.
00:54:26.36\00:54:31.30
(MUSIC)
00:54:31.30\00:54:39.67
>>I GREW UP IN A
CHURCH-GOING FAMILY.
00:54:39.67\00:54:42.21
I MEAN, WE WERE
AT EVERY MEETING.
00:54:42.21\00:54:44.38
I SANG IN FOUR
OF THE CHOIRS THERE.
00:54:44.38\00:54:46.82
I DIRECTED THREE -
VERY INVOLVED - VERY ACTIVE.
00:54:46.82\00:54:50.89
IT ALMOST SEEMED LIKE
BUSY WORK SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW?
00:54:50.89\00:54:54.42
I WENT TO SUNDAY SCHOOL. I KNEW
ABOUT GOD. I KNEW ABOUT JESUS,
00:54:54.42\00:54:59.69
BUT I DIDN'T HAVE A PERSONAL
RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST.
00:54:59.69\00:55:05.47
MY SENIOR YEAR IN HIGH SCHOOL I
GOT THE NEWS THAT MY FATHER HAD
00:55:05.47\00:55:11.21
BEEN MURDERED. NOW,
I PLAYED IT OFF WELL.
00:55:11.21\00:55:15.21
NO ONE REALLY SAW THAT
I WAS STRUGGLING WITH IT.
00:55:15.21\00:55:22.35
IT JUST REALLY FELT LIKE THERE
WAS A HOLE THAT NEEDED TO BE
00:55:22.35\00:55:25.02
FILLED AND I TRIED TO FILL IT
WITH DRUGS, WITH ALCOHOL, WITH
00:55:25.02\00:55:30.13
PARTYING. AFTER
COLLEGE, I JUST STOPPED
00:55:30.13\00:55:33.33
GOING TO CHURCH ALTOGETHER.
ONE DAY, ON A SUNDAY, BECAUSE I
00:55:33.33\00:55:39.57
DIDN'T FEEL LIKE GOING TO CHURCH
WITH MY MOM, I THOUGHT, 'YOU
00:55:39.57\00:55:43.30
KNOW, I SHOULD GET A LITTLE BIT
OF WORD.' SHE HAD THE SATELLITE
00:55:43.30\00:55:47.78
SYSTEM HOOKED UP AND I'M
FLIPPING THROUGH CHANNELS AND
00:55:47.78\00:55:50.98
THEN THE LOGO POPS ACROSS
- AMAZING FACTS PRESENTS .
00:55:50.98\00:55:55.42
I'VE LISTENED TO A LOT IF
DIFFERENT MINISTERS, BUT HERE
00:55:55.42\00:55:58.12
WAS - THIS WAS THE FIRST
TIME THAT HE'S ACTUALLY SAYING
00:55:58.12\00:56:00.32
SOMETHING WHERE I HAD TO GRAB
MY BIBLE AND ACTUALLY PICK IT UP
00:56:00.32\00:56:03.73
AND I'VE NEVER
HEARD THIS BEFORE.
00:56:03.73\00:56:06.09
LET ME LOOK
THROUGH AND FIND THIS.
00:56:06.09\00:56:08.03
I WENT THROUGH
ALL THE STORACLES .
00:56:08.03\00:56:09.73
I WENT THROUGH ALL THE STUDY
GUIDES AND I JUST COULDN'T GET
00:56:09.73\00:56:11.97
ENOUGH. AND THEN
THE SABBATH CAME UP AND
00:56:11.97\00:56:15.70
HE'S GOING THROUGH THE
APPEAL AND I'M JUST GOING,
00:56:15.70\00:56:18.31
'LORD, I HEAR YOU. I
HAVE TO GO TO CHURCH.' SO I
00:56:18.31\00:56:21.81
SHOW UP - IT WAS FUNNY, I DIDN'T
FEEL LIKE I WAS GOING TO BE
00:56:21.81\00:56:25.18
JUDGED - ANYTHING
JUDGMENTAL - ANYTHING.
00:56:25.18\00:56:28.48
AND I WALKED IN THE
DOOR AND I JUST FELT AT HOME.
00:56:28.48\00:56:31.19
BUT THERE'S STILL A
PROBLEM. I'M STILL PARTYING.
00:56:31.19\00:56:36.69
I WAS STILL
GOING OUT TO THE BARS.
00:56:36.69\00:56:38.93
AT THIS TIME I WAS
SELLING COCAINE TO PAY MY RENT.
00:56:38.93\00:56:43.33
SIXTEEN DAYS LATER I FIND MYSELF
IN A LIFE OR DEATH SITUATION.
00:56:43.33\00:56:48.40
I HAD JUST COME BACK FROM A
LIQUOR STORE AND I GRABBED A
00:56:48.40\00:56:51.07
BOTTLE OF VODKA.
AND THERE I AM, HIGH OFF
00:56:51.07\00:56:55.58
COCAINE, WITH MY BIBLE IN HAND,
TRYING TO DO A BIBLE STUDY.
00:56:55.58\00:57:01.12
AND I HEARD AN AUDIBLE
VOICE, 'JUST LOOK AT YOURSELF!'
00:57:01.12\00:57:08.62
AND I DID AND I WAS
LIKE, 'WHAT AM I DOING?'
00:57:08.62\00:57:14.40
AND I GOT ON MY KNEES. I
SAID, 'LORD, IF YOU DO NOT
00:57:14.40\00:57:17.23
TAKE THIS AWAY FROM ME NOW,
I'M GOING TO KILL MYSELF.' I WAS
00:57:17.23\00:57:22.97
GOING TO CONTINUE THIS LIFESTYLE
AND I WAS GOING TO END UP
00:57:22.97\00:57:25.54
OVERDOSING, HAVING A
HEART ATTACK, WHATEVER IT WAS.
00:57:25.54\00:57:30.68
'YOU HAVE TO TAKE THIS AWAY
- ALL OF IT.' AND THAT DAY HE
00:57:30.68\00:57:39.32
LIFTED ALL OF IT AWAY
FROM ME. IT WAS ALL GONE.
00:57:39.32\00:57:43.12
WHEN GOD DOES SOMETHING IN
YOUR LIFE, HE DOES IT COMPLETE.
