00:06:53.54\00:06:56.31

THIS MESSAGE. AND

00:07:00.18\00:07:02.58
WE ASK ALL THESE
THINGS IN YOUR NAME, AMEN.
00:07:02.58\00:07:05.72
AT THIS TIME I WOULD
LIKE TO WELCOME UP PASTOR DOUG
00:07:05.72\00:07:08.09
BATCHELOR. >>WE'RE
GOING TO DO OUR LAST
00:07:08.09\00:07:11.56
STUDY - IT'S IN LESSON #13.
WE'RE DEALING WITH CHAPTERS 27
00:07:11.56\00:07:17.43
AND 28 OF MATTHEW, MUCH
MORE THAN I'LL REALLY BE ABLE TO
00:07:17.43\00:07:21.74
COVER, BUT I'M
GOING TO DO MY BEST.
00:07:21.74\00:07:23.77
YOU KNOW, I LIKE GET INTO THE
DEPTH OF THE WORD AND SOMETIMES
00:07:23.77\00:07:26.91
YOU DO THAT AND TIME RUNS
AWAY AND YOU REALIZE I HAVEN'T
00:07:26.91\00:07:29.71
FINISHED COVERING
IT. SO YOU PRAY FOR ME.
00:07:29.71\00:07:31.71
WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT
JESUS AND BARABBAS, ABOUT THE
00:07:31.71\00:07:34.85
GREAT COMMISSION, ABOUT THE
RESURRECTION, THE VEIL BEING
00:07:34.85\00:07:37.72
RENT, AND EACH OF THESE
IS A WHOLE SERMON IN ITSELF.
00:07:37.72\00:07:42.79
I HAVE A MEMORY
VERSE: MATTHEW 28, VERSE 18.
00:07:42.79\00:07:47.10
IF YOU'D FIND THAT, IT'S IN YOUR
LESSON THERE IN THE NEW KING
00:07:47.10\00:07:49.26
JAMES VERSION.
MATTHEW 28:18, IF YOU
00:07:49.26\00:07:51.80
WANT TO SAY THAT
WITH ME. ARE YOU READY?
00:07:51.80\00:07:54.00
"ALL AUTHORITY HAS BEEN GIVEN
ME IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH."
00:07:54.00\00:07:59.17
THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW WHEN YOU'RE
PRAYING, YOU'RE TALKING TO
00:07:59.17\00:08:01.64
SOMEONE THAT HAS AUTHORITY
TO ANSWER YOUR PRAYERS.
00:08:01.64\00:08:04.61
CAN YOU SAY AMEN? >>AMEN.
00:08:04.61\00:08:06.01
>>THAT'S GOOD NEWS.
ALRIGHT, SO THE FIRST SECTION
00:08:06.01\00:08:08.22
WE'RE GOING TO READ IS DEALING
WITH THE THEME OF JESUS AND
00:08:08.22\00:08:12.25
BARABBAS - OR YOU SHOULD SAY
JESUS OR BARABBAS, ACTUALLY. GO
00:08:12.25\00:08:15.99
TO MATTHEW CHAPTER 27 IN YOUR
BIBLES AND WE'RE GOING TO JUST
00:08:15.99\00:08:19.36
DO SOME READING HERE TO
GET THROUGH THIS PASSAGE.
00:08:19.36\00:08:22.16
STARTING WITH VERSE 15 - MATTHEW
27, VERSE 15, "NOW AT THE FEAST
00:08:22.16\00:08:30.37
THE GOVERNOR" - THAT'S PONTIUS
PILATE - "WAS ACCUSTOMED TO
00:08:30.37\00:08:34.28
RELEASING TO THE MULTITUDE
ONE PRISONER WHOM THEY WISHED."
00:08:34.28\00:08:37.88
- AS A GESTURE - AND USUALLY
THESE ARE POLITICAL PRISONERS.
00:08:37.88\00:08:41.85
AND, SO AS A GESTURE OF KINDNESS
AND GOOD WILL, THIS OCCUPYING
00:08:41.85\00:08:46.62
COUNTRY SAID,
'ALRIGHT, IT'S YOUR HOLIDAY.
00:08:46.62\00:08:48.72
IT'S YOUR FEAST, WE'LL RELEASE
A PRISONER.' THEY HAD SO MANY
00:08:48.72\00:08:51.43
PRISONERS THAT IT WASN'T THAT
BIG A GESTURE - "AND AT THAT
00:08:51.43\00:08:56.13
TIME THEY HAD A NOTORIOUS" -
OR NOTABLE - "PRISONER CALLED
00:08:56.13\00:09:00.60
BARABBAS." NOW HOW MANY OF
YOU KNOW WHAT THE WORD IN HEBREW
00:09:00.60\00:09:04.57
'BAR' MEANS -
B-A-R? IT MEANS 'SON OF'.
00:09:04.57\00:09:09.18
CAN YOU THINK OF SOME EXAMPLES
IN THE BIBLE WHERE YOU FIND THAT
00:09:09.18\00:09:12.01
TERM? BARNABAS - IT TELLS YOU
IN THE BIBLE IT MEANS 'SON OF
00:09:12.01\00:09:18.02
CONSOLATION'. SIMON
WAS CALLED SIMON BAR JONAH
00:09:18.02\00:09:22.06
- HIS FATHER'S NAME WAS
JONAH - SIMON, THE SON OF JONAH.
00:09:22.06\00:09:25.26
YOU'VE HEARD OF BARTIMAEUS - IS
THE BLIND MAN - HE WAS THE SON
00:09:25.26\00:09:30.57
OF TIMAEUS. AND
SO, BAR MEANS SON OF.
00:09:30.57\00:09:33.13
WHAT DOES 'ABBA' MEAN?
YEAH, REMEMBER PAUL SAYS, 'ABBA
00:09:33.13\00:09:37.94
FATHER' - HE
TELLS YOU WHAT IT MEANS.
00:09:37.94\00:09:39.91
AND IT DOESN'T MEAN FATHER
IN THE SENSE WHEN YOU PRAY THE
00:09:39.91\00:09:42.78
LORD'S PRAYER, 'OUR FATHER'
- THAT IS A LITTLE MORE FORMAL
00:09:42.78\00:09:45.65
WORD - IT MEANS FATHER -
MORE LIKE THE WORD 'PAPA'.
00:09:45.65\00:09:48.55
IT'S MORE OF A
PERSONAL FAMILY NAME FOR FATHER.
00:09:48.55\00:09:51.65
AND SO, BARABBAS' NAME IS 'SON
OF THE FATHER' AND HE'S ABOUT TO
00:09:51.65\00:09:56.96
BE EXCHANGED FOR JESUS,
WHO IS THE SON OF THE FATHER.
00:09:56.96\00:10:00.83
AND SO HE IS SOMETHING
OF A COUNTERFEIT JESUS.
00:10:00.83\00:10:04.03
HE WAS A COUNTERFEIT MESSIAH.
00:10:04.03\00:10:06.50
WE'LL FIND OUT MORE AS
WE READ ON HERE IN A MINUTE.
00:10:06.50\00:10:08.64
SO LET'S JUST READ -
GO BACK TO CHAPTER 27.
00:10:08.64\00:10:12.84
THEY HAD A NOTABLE PRISONER,
"THEREFORE, WHEN THEY HAD
00:10:12.84\00:10:17.15
GATHERED TOGETHER, PILATE SAID
TO THEM" - I'M IN VERSE 17 -
00:10:17.15\00:10:19.78
MATTHEW 27:17 - "WHOM DO
YOU WANT ME TO RELEASE TO YOU?
00:10:19.78\00:10:23.75
BARABBAS, OR JESUS
WHO IS CALLED CHRIST?"
00:10:23.75\00:10:27.09
NOW PILATE
WANTED TO RELEASE JESUS.
00:10:27.09\00:10:29.92
WHY DID HE WANT
TO RELEASE JESUS?
00:10:29.92\00:10:33.96
I'LL REPEAT YOUR ANSWERS -
I'LL REPEAT THE CORRECT ONES.
00:10:33.96\00:10:37.30
>>HE WAS INNOCENT. >>HE
THOUGHT HE WAS INNOCENT.
00:10:37.30\00:10:40.37
HE SAID, 'I FIND NO FAULT IN
HIM.' THERE'S ANOTHER REASON.
00:10:40.37\00:10:43.87
HIS WIFE HAD A VERY TROUBLING
DREAM AND SAID, 'HAVE NOTHING TO
00:10:43.87\00:10:46.47
DO WITH THAT JUST MAN.' IN OTHER
WORDS, DON'T DO ANYTHING TO HARM
00:10:46.47\00:10:49.18
HIM. SO PILATE
IS RATTLED BY ALL OF
00:10:49.18\00:10:52.05
THIS AND THEN HE TALKS - THIRD
REASON - HE TALKS TO JESUS.
00:10:52.05\00:10:55.82
AND HE'S CONVINCED, BY
TALKING TO JESUS, THAT THERE IS
00:10:55.82\00:10:59.82
SOMETHING
SUPERNATURAL ABOUT THIS MAN.
00:10:59.82\00:11:01.82
HE NEVER SEES A PERSON
FACING DEATH WITH SUCH CALM AND
00:11:01.82\00:11:05.73
COMPOSURE. SO HE
WANTS TO LET HIM GO EVEN
00:11:05.73\00:11:08.50
THOUGH PILATE IS NOT A GOOD
MAN. AND SO HE THINKS, 'I GOT
00:11:08.50\00:11:12.57
IT, THEY WANT ME
TO RELEASE SOMEBODY.
00:11:12.57\00:11:14.10
I WILL PUT OUT BARABBAS, WHO IS
A ROUGH CHARACTER, AND I'LL PUT
00:11:14.10\00:11:20.24
HIM SIDE-BY-SIDE WITH JESUS
AND THEY'LL SEE JESUS HAS BEEN
00:11:20.24\00:11:23.48
BEATEN AND HE LOOKS LIKE HE'S
INNOCENT, LIKE A LAMB BROUGHT TO
00:11:23.48\00:11:26.95
THE SLAUGHTER.
THEY'LL SEE THE CONTRAST AND
00:11:26.95\00:11:29.25
THEY'LL QUICKLY VOTE FOR JESUS.
HE HAD NO IDEA HOW THE MOB HAD
00:11:29.25\00:11:32.95
BEEN INSPIRED BY THE DEVIL.
LET ME READ SOMETHING TO YOU
00:11:32.95\00:11:35.96
FROM THE BOOK DESIRE OF
AGES P. 733. IT'S A GREAT BOOK.
00:11:35.96\00:11:41.13
IF YOU'VE NOT READ IT, I
RECOMMEND, FRIENDS, THAT YOU
00:11:41.13\00:11:42.93
READ DESIRE OF AGES .
"THIS MAN, BARABBAS, HAD
00:11:42.93\00:11:46.80
CLAIMED TO BE THE
MESSIAH. HE CLAIMED AUTHORITY TO
00:11:46.80\00:11:50.04
ESTABLISH A DIFFERENT
ORDER OF THINGS AND TO SET
00:11:50.04\00:11:52.24
THE WORLD ARIGHT.
UNDER SATANIC DELUSION HE
00:11:52.24\00:11:55.98
CLAIMED THAT WHATEVER
HE COULD OBTAIN BY THEFT OR
00:11:55.98\00:11:58.88
ROBBERY WAS HIS OWN." -
HE'D KIND OF BEEN READING
00:11:58.88\00:12:01.18
ROBIN HOOD OR SOMETHING, YOU
KNOW, JUST STEAL FROM THE RICH
00:12:01.18\00:12:03.42
AND GIVE TO ME - "HE HAD DONE
WONDERFUL THINGS THROUGH SATANIC
00:12:03.42\00:12:07.46
AGENCIES AND HE HAD GAINED A
FOLLOWING AMONG THE PEOPLE AND
00:12:07.46\00:12:10.49
IT EXCITED SEDITION
AGAINST THE ROMAN GOVERNMENT.
00:12:10.49\00:12:13.16
UNDER COVER OF RELIGIOUS
ENTHUSIASM, HE WAS A HARDENED
00:12:13.16\00:12:17.50
AND A DESPERATE VILLAIN
BENT ON REBELLION AND CRUELTY.
00:12:17.50\00:12:21.40
BY GIVING THE PEOPLE A CHOICE
BETWEEN THIS MAN AND AN INNOCENT
00:12:21.40\00:12:24.11
SAVIOR, PILATE THOUGHT TO AROUSE
THEM TO A SENSE OF JUSTICE."
00:12:24.11\00:12:28.14
HE HOPED TO GAIN THEIR SYMPATHY
FOR JESUS IN OPPOSITION TO THE
00:12:28.14\00:12:31.58
PRIESTS AND RULERS. HE
KNEW THAT HE HAD JUST BEEN
00:12:31.58\00:12:34.22
TURNED OVER FOR
ENVY AND JEALOUSY.
00:12:34.22\00:12:38.22
BUT, YOU KNOW, AS SOON AS YOU
GO DOWN THE ROAD OF COMPROMISE -
00:12:38.22\00:12:41.42
PILATE THOUGHT,
'WELL, I'LL COMPROMISE.'
00:12:41.42\00:12:42.52
WHAT SHOULD PILATE HAVE DONE?
00:12:42.52\00:12:44.59
HE SHOULD HAVE SAID,
'HE'S INNOCENT.' AND LET HIM GO.
00:12:44.59\00:12:49.86
AND IF HE SAW THAT THERE'S
A TUMULT, IF NOTHING ELSE HE
00:12:49.86\00:12:52.70
SHOULD HAVE SAID, 'LOOK,
YOUR FEAST IS BEGINNING IN A FEW
00:12:52.70\00:12:55.74
HOURS, I'LL DEAL WITH IT AFTER
THE FEAST.' AND DISMISSED THEM.
00:12:55.74\00:12:59.61
PROCRASTINATE. LET
HIM GO IN THE MEANTIME.
00:12:59.61\00:13:01.91
THERE ARE OTHER WAYS HE COULD
HAVE DONE IT BUT, YOU KNOW, THE
00:13:01.91\00:13:04.88
DEVIL JUST
ORCHESTRATED THE CIRCUMSTANCES.
00:13:04.88\00:13:07.75
HE KNEW THAT THEY HAD
HANDED HIM OVER BECAUSE OF ENVY.
00:13:07.75\00:13:11.35
WHY WERE THEY ENVIOUS?
00:13:11.35\00:13:14.12
BECAUSE ALL THE
PEOPLE WERE FOLLOWING JESUS.
00:13:14.12\00:13:19.09
AND "WHILE HE WAS SITTING ON THE
JUDGMENT SEAT, HIS WIFE SENT TO
00:13:19.09\00:13:21.63
HIM, SAYING, 'HAVE NOTHING TO DO
WITH THAT JUST MAN, FOR I HAVE
00:13:21.63\00:13:24.50
SUFFERED MANY THINGS TODAY
IN A DREAM BECAUSE OF HIM.'" -
00:13:24.50\00:13:27.97
SUFFERED MEANS THAT SHE HAD
BEEN TROUBLED GREATLY - "BUT THE
00:13:27.97\00:13:31.07
CHIEF PRIESTS AND ELDERS
PERSUADED THE MULTITUDES THAT
00:13:31.07\00:13:33.94
THEY SHOULD ASK FOR BARABBAS"
- THE PRIESTS AND SANHEDRIN ARE
00:13:33.94\00:13:37.58
CIRCULATING IN THE
MOB AND SAYING 'BARABBAS!
00:13:37.58\00:13:39.31
BARABBAS! ASK FOR
BARABBAS!' - "AND DESTROY JESUS.
00:13:39.31\00:13:43.18
THE GOVERNOR ANSWERED AND SAID
TO THEM, 'WHICH OF THE TWO DO
00:13:43.18\00:13:46.09
YOU WANT ME TO RELEASE TO
YOU?' THEY SAID, 'BARABBAS!'
00:13:46.09\00:13:50.73
PILATE SAID TO THEM, 'WHAT THEN
SHALL I DO WITH JESUS WHO IS
00:13:50.73\00:13:54.20
CALLED CHRIST? THEY ALL SAID
TO HIM, 'LET HIM BE CRUCIFIED!'"
00:13:54.20\00:13:58.17
NOW, SOME WHO WERE IN THE
CROWD THAT DAY, ASKING FOR HIS
00:13:58.17\00:14:00.57
CRUCIFIXION, JUST A FEW DAYS
EARLIER - REMEMBER, WE READ IN
00:14:00.57\00:14:04.31
MATTHEW ABOUT THE TRIUMPHAL
ENTRY AND THEY SAID, 'HOSANNA TO
00:14:04.31\00:14:07.41
THE SON OF DAVID' AND THEY WERE
THROWING THEIR CLOTHES AND THE
00:14:07.41\00:14:09.84
PALMS IN THE
ROAD? THERE WERE SOME
00:14:09.84\00:14:11.61
PEOPLE IN BOTH CROWDS.
MIGHT HAVE BEEN SOME PEOPLE THAT
00:14:11.61\00:14:13.52
WERE IN THE CROWD
HE FED WITH THE BREAD.
00:14:13.52\00:14:15.95
AND THEN, NOW
THEY'RE SAYING, 'CRUCIFY!'
00:14:15.95\00:14:18.09
THE MULTITUDE
CAN BE VERY FICKLE.
00:14:18.09\00:14:21.19
MOSES SAID, 'DO NOT FOLLOW A
MULTITUDE TO DO EVIL.' PEOPLE
00:14:21.19\00:14:26.90
CAN GET SWEPT UP IN THE CROWD.
MATTER OF FACT, ONE OF THE
00:14:26.90\00:14:31.80
STRONG - THERE'S A FEW
THINGS ADVERTISERS USE TO SELL
00:14:31.80\00:14:35.07
PRODUCTS: ONE, OF
COURSE, IS THEY SELL WITH SEX.
00:14:35.07\00:14:39.11
THE OTHER ONE THEY
SELL WITH IS THE BANDWAGON.
00:14:39.11\00:14:42.11
BANDWAGON MEANS
EVERYBODY'S DOING IT.
00:14:42.11\00:14:45.15
'OH, THIS IS WHAT EVERYBODY
WANTS.' AND THEY'LL GET
00:14:45.15\00:14:47.18
TESTIMONIES AND THEY'LL MAKE
IT SEEM LIKE IF YOU DON'T, THEN
00:14:47.18\00:14:49.75
YOU'RE REALLY OUT OF
TOUCH. AND SO PEOPLE GET CAUGHT
00:14:49.75\00:14:53.25
UP IN THE CROWD MENTALITY.
NOW, SOME INTERESTING THINGS
00:14:53.25\00:14:58.66
WE FIND HERE ABOUT BARABBAS
- SOMEONE'S GOING TO READ FOR
00:14:58.66\00:15:02.23
ME IN JUST A MOMENT, LUKE 23.
OKAY, HAFDIS, YOU'LL HAVE THAT?
00:15:02.23\00:15:06.47
I'M GOING TO READ MARK 15 - MARK
15, VERSE 7, "AND THERE WAS ONE
00:15:06.47\00:15:11.67
NAMED BARABBAS" - I'M READING
ABOUT BARABBAS IN THE BOOK OF
00:15:11.67\00:15:13.78
MARK, SOMETHING THAT MATTHEW
DOESN'T MENTION - "AND THERE WAS
00:15:13.78\00:15:17.41
ONE NAMED BARABBAS, WHICH LAY
BOUND WITH THEM" - HE'S TIED UP
00:15:17.41\00:15:21.42
LAYING DOWN - IN OTHER WORDS,
THEY HAD THESE THREE CHARACTERS
00:15:21.42\00:15:24.09
READY TO EXECUTE. THE
REASON THE CROSSES WERE ALL
00:15:24.09\00:15:26.35
READY IS THEY HAD AN
EXECUTION SCHEDULED THAT DAY
00:15:26.35\00:15:30.13
FOR THREE GUYS. ONE OF
THEM WHO LAY THERE BOUND
00:15:30.13\00:15:34.36
"MADE INSURRECTION WITH
HIM, WHO HAD COMMITTED MURDER
00:15:34.36\00:15:38.27
IN THE INSURRECTION."
AND SO THEY HAD RISEN
00:15:38.27\00:15:41.17
UP AGAINST THE
ROMANS. SO HE'S A MURDERER.
00:15:41.17\00:15:43.17
ALRIGHT, SO WHAT'S THE
OTHER THING WE LEARN ABOUT HIM?
00:15:43.17\00:15:44.74
GO AHEAD, LUKE 23:18, "AND THEY
ALL CRIED OUT AT ONCE, SAYING,
00:15:44.74\00:15:50.68
'AWAY WITH THIS MAN, AND RELEASE
TO US BARABBAS' - WHO HAD BEEN
00:15:50.68\00:15:54.58
THROWN INTO PRISON FOR A CERTAIN
REBELLION MADE IN THE CITY, AND
00:15:54.58\00:15:58.72
FOR MURDER." >>NOW,
WHAT ELSE WE LEARN IS HIS
00:15:58.72\00:16:02.72
TWO FRIENDS ARE ACCUSED OF
BEING THIEVES - HIS COMRADES.
00:16:02.72\00:16:07.20
SO HE IS A THIEF, HE IS A REBEL,
HE IS A MURDERER AND, BEFORE THE
00:16:07.20\00:16:14.57
NATION - THIS NATION HAS BEEN
WAITING FOR THE MESSIAH FOR TWO
00:16:14.57\00:16:20.18
MILLENNIA - SINCE THE TIME OF
ABRAHAM - NOW, HERE, THEY HAVE A
00:16:20.18\00:16:24.05
CHOICE: DO YOU WANT GOD'S CHOSEN
MESSIAH - THE LAMB - OR DO YOU
00:16:24.05\00:16:29.45
WANT THE
ANTI-HERO - THE VILLAIN?
00:16:29.45\00:16:35.32
AND WHAT DO THE PEOPLE
WANT? THEY ENDED UP WANTING THE
00:16:35.32\00:16:38.53
VILLAIN AND THEY WANTED
THE COUNTERFEIT MESSIAH.
00:16:38.53\00:16:42.86
YOU SEE, THEY DIDN'T
WANT THE MESSIAH WHO SAID,
00:16:42.86\00:16:44.33
'I'VE COME TO DIE. I
HAVE A SPIRITUAL KINGDOM.
00:16:44.33\00:16:46.87
I'VE COME AS A LAMB. I'M
GOING TO DIE FOR YOUR SINS.
00:16:46.87\00:16:50.04
NO, I'M NOT GOING TO DESTROY
CAESAR, I'M NOT GOING TO KILL
00:16:50.04\00:16:53.11
ALL THE ROMAN SOLDIERS.
I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU A
00:16:53.11\00:16:56.85
SPIRITUAL KINGDOM, ONE
OF MEEKNESS.' THEY SAID,
00:16:56.85\00:16:58.71
'WE DON'T WANT THAT.
WE WANT A STRONG VIOLENT
00:16:58.71\00:17:03.45
AGGRESSIVE LEADER.' AND SO, THIS
IS THE LEADER THAT WAS CHOSEN.
00:17:03.45\00:17:07.72
THIS IS OFTEN THE LEADER THAT
THE WORLD CHOOSES, A COUNTERFEIT
00:17:07.72\00:17:11.06
'BAR-ABBAS' - SON OF
THE FATHER. THEY DIDN'T WANT
00:17:11.06\00:17:13.53
THE JESUS BARABBAS. SO
WHOSE CROSS DID JESUS DIE ON?
00:17:13.53\00:17:22.07
CAN YOU IMAGINE THE PICTURE?
I MEAN, FOR A MINUTE, JUST
00:17:22.07\00:17:24.81
PICTURE YOU'RE
BARABBAS AND YOU'VE - YOU'RE
00:17:24.81\00:17:31.55
GUILTY OF MURDER. YOU
KNOW THAT THE BIBLE SAYS IF
00:17:31.55\00:17:34.95
YOU HATE YOUR BROTHER WITHOUT
A CAUSE, YOU'RE GUILTY OF
00:17:34.95\00:17:36.95
MURDER, SO JESUS SAID.
YOU'RE A THIEF, THE BIBLE SAYS,
00:17:36.95\00:17:42.09
IF YOU DON'T PAY TITHES
AND OFFERINGS, YOU ROB GOD.
00:17:42.09\00:17:44.99
AND IF WE DON'T FAITHFULLY
RETURN THE TIME THAT HE'S GIVEN
00:17:44.99\00:17:48.33
US TO HIS SERVICE, WE
ROB HIM. AND WE'RE REBELS.
00:17:48.33\00:17:53.34
AND SO, WE'RE
KIND OF LIKE BARABBAS.
00:17:53.34\00:17:55.67
AND YOU'RE CONDEMNED
- YOU'RE GOING TO DIE.
00:17:55.67\00:17:57.31
YOU KNOW YOU'RE ABOUT TO DIE THE
MOST TERRIBLE DEATH AND THERE'S
00:17:57.31\00:17:59.54
THIS RUCKUS AND ALL OF A SUDDEN
THE ROMAN SOLDIER COMES OVER AND
00:17:59.54\00:18:03.08
HE CUTS YOUR ROPES
AND YOU SAY, 'WHAT'S UP?'
00:18:03.08\00:18:04.95
YOU'RE AFRAID TO ASK BECAUSE
YOU'RE JUST GLAD YOU'RE BEING
00:18:04.95\00:18:07.85
SET FREE. AND HE
SAID 'THAT FELLA THERE,
00:18:07.85\00:18:09.95
HE'S GOING TO DIE ON YOUR
CROSS. HE'S TAKING YOUR PLACE.'
00:18:09.95\00:18:12.92
THIS IS CALLED THE
SUBSTITUTIONARY DEATH.
00:18:12.92\00:18:16.09
JESUS TRADED
PLACES WITH BARABBAS.
00:18:16.09\00:18:19.89
JESUS DIED ON BARABBAS' CROSS
AND THIS IS WHAT HE DOES FOR US.
00:18:19.89\00:18:25.53
NOW, HOW GRATEFUL WOULD YOU BE?
YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE
00:18:25.53\00:18:29.60
TRIED TO CREATE STORIES AND
MYTHS ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO
00:18:29.60\00:18:33.94
BARABBAS. THE FACT IS,
HE'S NEVER MENTIONED IN HISTORY.
00:18:33.94\00:18:38.08
WE HAVE NO IDEA WHETHER
HE REPENTED AND HE CHANGED.
00:18:38.08\00:18:40.65
THERE'S NO RECORD OF HIM GOING
BACK TO HIS LIFE OF CRIME -
00:18:40.65\00:18:43.18
THAT MIGHT BE A GOOD THING.
00:18:43.18\00:18:44.82
BUT WE REALLY DON'T KNOW
WHAT HAPPENED TO BARABBAS.
00:18:44.82\00:18:46.79
WE DON'T KNOW IF
HE BECAME A BELIEVER.
00:18:46.79\00:18:48.99
BUT, SO HISTORY IS
SILENT ON THAT SUBJECT.
00:18:48.99\00:18:53.36
BUT JESUS REALLY
WAS HIS SUBSTITUTE.
00:18:53.36\00:18:56.23
YOU REMEMBER WHEN DAVID PRAYED
AFTER ABSALOM DIED AND HE SAYS,
00:18:56.23\00:19:01.24
'WOULD GOD I HAD DIED FOR THEE.'
ONE TIME, DAVID WAS IN BATTLE
00:19:01.24\00:19:06.98
AND THE GIANT, ONE OF THE SONS
OF THE GIANT, WAS BEGINNING TO
00:19:06.98\00:19:11.05
WIN IN A HAND-TO-HAND BATTLE AND
ABISHAI, THE BROTHER OF JOAB,
00:19:11.05\00:19:16.79
CAME IN AND TOOK DAVID'S
PLACE AND HE KILLED THE GIANT.
00:19:16.79\00:19:20.52
AND HE SAID, 'YOU'RE GETTING
TOO OLD TO FIGHT LIKE THIS.
00:19:20.52\00:19:22.62
YOU STAND BACK NOW AND JUST
DIRECT.' HE SAID, 'WE CAN'T LOSE
00:19:22.62\00:19:26.13
YOU.' YOU REMEMBER WHEN
RAHAB HELPED THE TWO SPIES?
00:19:26.13\00:19:31.33
THEY SAID, 'OUR LIFE FOR YOURS.
YOU HAVE PUT YOUR LIFE ON THE
00:19:31.33\00:19:37.04
LINE TO SAVE US, WE WILL
NOW SAVE YOU.' THIS IS THE
00:19:37.04\00:19:40.48
PRINCIPLE OF THE
SUBSTITUTION, AND YOU FIND
00:19:40.48\00:19:43.35
IT IN THE BIBLE
A NUMBER OF PLACES.
00:19:43.35\00:19:45.95
AND GOD SAYS, 'I WILL' - MOSES
SAID, 'LORD, STRIKE MY NAME FROM
00:19:45.95\00:19:49.18
YOUR BOOK THAT YOUR PEOPLE MIGHT
BE SAVED.' PAUL SAID, 'I'D BE
00:19:49.18\00:19:53.62
WILLING TO BE LOST
THAT ISRAEL MIGHT BE SAVED.
00:19:53.62\00:19:55.92
IT'S THIS
PRINCIPLE OF SUBSTITUTION.
00:19:55.92\00:19:57.63
THIS IS WHAT
SALVATION IS ALL ABOUT.
00:19:57.63\00:19:59.46
ANYWAY, SO YOU SEE THIS
EVEN IN THE STORY OF BARABBAS.
00:19:59.46\00:20:04.20
NOW BARABBAS IS
MENTIONED LATER IN THE BIBLE.
00:20:04.20\00:20:07.47
DID YOU KNOW THAT? ACTS
CHAPTER 3, VERSE 13, "THE
00:20:07.47\00:20:12.87
GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND
JACOB, THE GOD OF OUR FATHERS,
00:20:12.87\00:20:16.48
GLORIFIED HIS SERVANT JESUS,
WHOM YOU DELIVERED UP AND DENIED
00:20:16.48\00:20:21.28
IN THE PRESENCE OF PILATE," -
THIS IS PETER PREACHING - "WHEN
00:20:21.28\00:20:24.15
HE WAS
DETERMINED TO LET HIM GO."
00:20:24.15\00:20:26.12
- PILATE WAS DETERMINED TO LET
JESUS GO - "BUT YOU DENIED THE
00:20:26.12\00:20:29.09
HOLY ONE AND THE JUST, AND ASKED
FOR A MURDERER TO BE GRANTED TO
00:20:29.09\00:20:33.23
YOU, AND KILLED THE PRINCE OF
LIFE, WHOM GOD RAISED FROM THE
00:20:33.23\00:20:36.83
DEAD, OF WHICH
WE ARE WITNESSES."
00:20:36.83\00:20:39.03
THAT MAKES IT PRETTY
PLAIN. PETER - THEY ALL
00:20:39.03\00:20:40.84
KNEW WHAT HAPPENED.
THEY DESIRED A MURDERER
00:20:40.84\00:20:43.14
INSTEAD OF JESUS.
ROMANS 5:6, "FOR WHEN WE WERE
00:20:43.14\00:20:49.88
STILL WITHOUT STRENGTH,
IN DUE TIME CHRIST DIED
00:20:49.88\00:20:52.15
FOR THE UNGODLY. FOR
SCARCELY FOR A RIGHTEOUS MAN
00:20:52.15\00:20:56.95
WILL ONE DIE; YET PERHAPS
FOR A GOOD MAN SOMEONE WOULD
00:20:56.95\00:21:00.26
EVEN DARE TO DIE." -
THERE ARE CASES WHERE PEOPLE
00:21:00.26\00:21:03.22
LAY DOWN THEIR
LIVES FOR SOMEBODY ELSE.
00:21:03.22\00:21:05.19
MANY TIMES MOTHERS OR FATHERS
HAVE LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES TO
00:21:05.19\00:21:08.03
SAVE THEIR CHILDREN - THAT'S
SORT OF - WE'RE PRE-PROGRAMMED
00:21:08.03\00:21:10.97
FOR THAT, BUT TO LAY DOWN YOUR
LIFE TO SAVE A STRANGER - SOME
00:21:10.97\00:21:17.77
WOULD LAY DOWN THEIR LIVES -
SOLDIERS, MANY TIMES HAVE LAID
00:21:17.77\00:21:20.38
DOWN THEIR LIVES
TO SAVE AN OFFICER.
00:21:20.38\00:21:22.51
SOME MIGHT LAY DOWN THEIR LIFE
TO SAVE A JUST MAN, BUT WHAT
00:21:22.51\00:21:26.88
MAKES THIS REALLY STRANGE IS IT
SAYS, 'WHILE WE WERE YET SINNERS
00:21:26.88\00:21:29.88
CHRIST LAID DOWN HIS
LIFE TO SAVE US' UNRIGHTEOUS,
00:21:29.88\00:21:34.69
UNTHANKFUL, UNAPPRECIATIVE - HE,
BASICALLY, TOOK THE CROSS OF A
00:21:34.69\00:21:38.79
MURDERER. AND THEN
HE SAYS TO A THIEF ON
00:21:38.79\00:21:41.53
THE CROSS NEXT TO HIM, 'YOU'LL
BE WITH ME IN PARADISE.' SO JUST
00:21:41.53\00:21:47.37
THE LOVE OF GOD IS
HARD FOR US TO COMPREHEND.
00:21:47.37\00:21:49.77
OKAY, WE'VE GOT
TO KEEP GOING HERE.
00:21:49.77\00:21:53.41
THE CRUCIFIED SUBSTITUTE .
NOW, IF YOU LOOK IN MATTHEW
00:21:53.41\00:21:56.91
27, VERSE 45 - WE'RE STILL IN
MATTHEW 27 - SO THEY WHIP JESUS,
00:21:56.91\00:22:02.58
THEY LEAD HIM OFF, WE DON'T HAVE
TIME TO TALK ABOUT HIS TIME WITH
00:22:02.58\00:22:04.99
HEROD - PILATE
SENDS HIM TO HEROD.
00:22:04.99\00:22:07.62
AND YOU CAN READ, FOR INSTANCE,
IN - OH, LET'S GO TO MATTHEW 27,
00:22:07.62\00:22:13.90
VERSE 45, "NOW FROM THE SIXTH
HOUR UNTIL THE NINTH HOUR THERE
00:22:13.90\00:22:18.57
WAS DARKNESS OVER ALL THE LAND."
- SO THERE'S THIS SUPERNATURAL
00:22:18.57\00:22:21.34
DARKNESS - "AND ABOUT THE NINTH
HOUR JESUS CRIED OUT WITH A LOUD
00:22:21.34\00:22:25.61
VOICE, SAYING, 'ELI,
ELI, LAMA SABACHTHANI?'
00:22:25.61\00:22:30.15
THAT IS TRANSLATED, 'MY GOD, MY
GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?'"
00:22:30.15\00:22:34.58
NOW THIS IS SOMETIMES REFERRED
TO AS THE CRY OF DERELICTION -
00:22:34.58\00:22:39.02
OF ABANDONMENT - THAT HE'S
ALONE. WHY DID JESUS SAY THAT?
00:22:39.02\00:22:45.56
DID JESUS GET DISCOURAGED AND
FINALLY JUST EXPLODE, 'WHY DID
00:22:45.56\00:22:49.13
YOU FORSAKE ME,
LORD?' DID JESUS LOSE
00:22:49.13\00:22:53.57
FAITH ON THE CROSS? NO,
WHY DID HE MAKE THAT CRY?
00:22:53.57\00:22:59.57
I'VE HEARD A LOT OF
VERY INTERESTING THEORIES.
00:22:59.57\00:23:01.28
I'VE HEARD SOME PASTORS SAY
JESUS HAD ALL HE COULD TAKE AND
00:23:01.28\00:23:05.61
HE CRIED AND SOMEHOW - I'VE
HEARD THEM SAY THAT WAS A SIN.
00:23:05.61\00:23:10.65
OF COURSE, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT
FOR A MINUTE BECAUSE THE BIBLE
00:23:10.65\00:23:12.42
SAYS HE DID NO SIN. HOW
COULD HE DIE FOR OUR SIN?
00:23:12.42\00:23:15.89
WAS HE CONFUSED?
WHY DID HE SAY THAT?
00:23:15.89\00:23:20.56
>>SEPARATION.
00:23:20.56\00:23:21.30
>>SAY THAT
AGAIN. >>QUOTING PSALMS.
00:23:21.30\00:23:22.76
>>HE WAS QUOTING PSALM 22.
WHY WAS HE QUOTING PSALM 22?
00:23:22.76\00:23:27.20
DO YOU HAVE YOUR BIBLES?
GO TO PSALM 22 REAL QUICK.
00:23:27.20\00:23:30.81
I'VE GOT MY PINK TAB HERE SO I
CAN FIND IT REAL QUICK, 'CAUSE I
00:23:30.81\00:23:33.84
KNEW WHERE I WAS GOING.
PSALM 22 - WHO WROTE THAT?
00:23:33.84\00:23:37.85
>>DAVID. >>DAVID DID.
00:23:37.85\00:23:40.52
IT SAYS, "MY GOD, MY GOD,
WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?"
00:23:40.52\00:23:44.29
SO JESUS IS QUOTING FROM THE
FIRST VERSE OF THE 22ND PSALM,
00:23:44.29\00:23:49.29
WHICH IS CALLED
A MESSIANIC PSALM.
00:23:49.29\00:23:52.49
THIS WAS A PSALM THAT THEY
BELIEVED WAS TALKING ABOUT THE
00:23:52.49\00:23:55.56
COMING MESSIAH. SO HE'S ON
THE CROSS AND HE QUOTES THIS.
00:23:55.56\00:23:59.30
WHY DOES HE
QUOTE FROM THIS PSALM?
00:23:59.30\00:24:02.27
READ DOWN IN THIS PSALM AND LOOK
AT WHAT IT SAYS IN SOME OF THE
00:24:02.27\00:24:06.14
VERSES HERE. READ
VERSE 16, "FOR DOGS HAVE
00:24:06.14\00:24:11.55
SURROUNDED ME; THE CONGREGATION
OF THE WICKED HAS ENCLOSED ME.
00:24:11.55\00:24:14.72
THEY PIERCED MY HANDS AND MY
FEET;" SO THOSE WHO KNEW THAT
00:24:14.72\00:24:19.42
PSALM - AND, KEEP IN MIND,
THEY DIDN'T HAVE TV BACK THEN.
00:24:19.42\00:24:21.52
THEY MEMORIZED A
LOT OF SCRIPTURE.
00:24:21.52\00:24:23.26
JESUS HAD THE WHOLE BOOK
OF DEUTERONOMY MEMORIZED.
00:24:23.26\00:24:26.96
AND WHEN HE STARTED QUOTING FROM
THE FIRST PART OF THAT, 'WHY
00:24:26.96\00:24:29.20
HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?' AND
THEY - GO DOWN AND IT SAYS,
00:24:29.20\00:24:31.53
"THEY'VE PIERCED
MY HANDS AND MY FEET.
00:24:31.53\00:24:34.27
I CAN COUNT ALL MY BONES.
THEY LOOK AND STARE AT ME.
00:24:34.27\00:24:39.61
THEY DIVIDE MY GARMENTS AMONG
THEM, AND FOR MY CLOTHING THEY
00:24:39.61\00:24:43.41
CAST LOTS." AND
THERE THEY SAW THEM, A FEW
00:24:43.41\00:24:46.88
MOMENTS EARLIER, GAMBLING FOR
HIS CLOTHING - CASTING LOTS LIKE
00:24:46.88\00:24:51.02
THEY DID FOR JONAH -
AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS.
00:24:51.02\00:24:53.66
IN OTHER WORDS, HE QUOTES FROM
THIS PSALM THAT IS A PICTURE OF
00:24:53.66\00:24:57.36
WHAT'S HAPPENING AT THE CROSS.
"MANY BULLS HAVE SURROUNDED ME;
00:24:57.36\00:25:02.13
STRONG BULLS OF BASHAN" - I'M IN
VERSE 12 - "HAVE ENCIRCLED ME.
00:25:02.13\00:25:05.33
THEY GAPE AT ME WITH
THEIR MOUTHS, LIKE A RAGING AND
00:25:05.33\00:25:07.27
ROARING LION." AND
"THEY SHOOT OUT THE LIP,
00:25:07.27\00:25:10.64
THEY SHAKE THE HEAD, SAYING,
'HE TRUSTED IN THE LORD, LET HIM
00:25:10.64\00:25:14.98
RESCUE HIM...SINCE
HE DELIGHTS IN HIM!'"
00:25:14.98\00:25:17.05
THIS IS WHAT THEY WERE
SAYING TO HIM ON THE CROSS.
00:25:17.05\00:25:18.85
'IF YOU'RE THE SON OF GOD, COME
DOWN.' IT'S KIND OF WHAT THEY
00:25:18.85\00:25:22.22
SAID TO NEHEMIAH, 'COME DOWN
THAT WE MIGHT TALK TO YOU.' AND
00:25:22.22\00:25:26.69
HE SAYS, 'I'M DOING A GREAT
WORK, I CANNOT COME DOWN.' AND
00:25:26.69\00:25:29.46
SO, MATTER OF FACT, I CAN'T
PROVE IT - ONE OF THE THIEVES -
00:25:29.46\00:25:34.96
YOU CAN READ HERE IN MATTHEW
CHAPTER 27 - AT THE BEGINNING OF
00:25:34.96\00:25:37.73
THE CRUCIFIXION BOTH
THIEVES JOINED IN MOCKING HIM.
00:25:37.73\00:25:42.60
OF COURSE, HE'S ON THE CROSS FOR
SEVEN HOURS - SIX HOURS ALIVE
00:25:42.60\00:25:46.21
AND ONE HOUR DEAD - TOWARDS THE
END, MAYBE WHEN THAT THIEF HEARD
00:25:46.21\00:25:51.05
HIM SAY, 'MY GOD, MY GOD,
WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?'
00:25:51.05\00:25:55.25
HE STARTED THINKING OF PSALM 22.
00:25:55.25\00:25:57.25
THE THIEF HEARD HIM PRAY,
'FATHER FORGIVE THEM, THEY DON'T
00:25:57.25\00:26:00.26
KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING.' AND A
NUMBER OF THINGS WERE HAPPENING
00:26:00.26\00:26:02.89
AND THE HOLY SPIRIT
WAS STIRRING HIS HEART.
00:26:02.89\00:26:05.29
HE THOUGHT ABOUT PSALM 22 THAT
SAYS, 'THEY PIERCED MY HANDS AND
00:26:05.29\00:26:09.33
MY FEET.' AND HE SEES THE SIGN
ABOVE JESUS' HEAD - HE'S RIGHT
00:26:09.33\00:26:12.37
THERE NEXT TO HIM - 'THIS IS
THE KING OF THE JEWS' - AND ALL
00:26:12.37\00:26:15.57
THESE THINGS TOGETHER BEGIN
TO START TO WORK ON HIM AND HE
00:26:15.57\00:26:19.17
REALIZES, 'THIS IS THE MESSIAH',
BECAUSE SOMETHING HAPPENED IN
00:26:19.17\00:26:22.88
THAT THIEF'S MIND WHERE HE
TURNS TO JESUS AND SAYS, 'LORD,'
00:26:22.88\00:26:26.08
- WELL, FIRST OF ALL, HIS FRIEND
IS MOCKING CHRIST ALONG WITH THE
00:26:26.08\00:26:28.85
OTHERS, AND HE TURNS TO HIS
FRIEND AND HE SAYS, 'DO YOU NOT
00:26:28.85\00:26:31.99
FEAR GOD SEEING WE ARE
IN THE SAME CONDEMNATION?
00:26:31.99\00:26:35.26
AND WE, INDEED, JUSTLY FOR WE'RE
RECEIVING THE DUE REWARD FOR OUR
00:26:35.26\00:26:37.93
DEEDS.' - WE'RE GETTING WHAT WE
DESERVE - 'BUT THIS MAN HAS DONE
00:26:37.93\00:26:41.66
NOTHING AMISS.' AND HE TURNS
TO JESUS AND HE SAYS, 'LORD,
00:26:41.66\00:26:45.13
REMEMBER ME WHEN YOU COME INTO
YOUR KINGDOM.' NOW THAT WAS ONE
00:26:45.13\00:26:47.84
OF THE GREATEST DECLARATIONS OF
FAITH BECAUSE NOBODY THAT DAY -
00:26:47.84\00:26:52.21
THE APOSTLES, MARY, HIS MOTHER,
MARY MAGDALENE - NO ONE CALLED
00:26:52.21\00:26:55.81
HIM LORD THAT DAY. THEY
ALL KEPT THEIR DISTANCE.
00:26:55.81\00:27:00.28
HE WAS BEING MOCKED AND SO THE
ONE WHO RECOGNIZED HIM NOT ONLY
00:27:00.28\00:27:03.15
AS A LORD, BUT AS A KING - HE
SAID, 'REMEMBER ME WHEN YOU COME
00:27:03.15\00:27:06.25
INTO YOUR
KINGDOM.' WHO HAS A KINGDOM?
00:27:06.25\00:27:08.62
A KING. SO THE
THIEF IS GIVING TESTIMONY
00:27:08.62\00:27:13.23
THAT JESUS IS THE MESSIAH
AND HE SAYS, 'REMEMBER ME.
00:27:13.23\00:27:15.73
YOU CAN SAVE ME.
YOU'VE GOT POWER TO SAVE ME.
00:27:15.73\00:27:17.53
NOBODY IN THE CROWD CAN, BUT
HE TURNS TO THE MAN ON THE CROSS
00:27:17.53\00:27:20.17
AND SAYS, 'YOU CAN SAVE ME.' I
THINK THE STATEMENT OF JESUS IN
00:27:20.17\00:27:24.21
PSALM 22 MAY HAVE BEEN THE
FINAL VERSE THAT INSPIRED HIM.
00:27:24.21\00:27:29.44
NOW THIS IS NOT
FOUND IN MATTHEW 27.
00:27:29.44\00:27:31.85
THAT'S FOUND IN LUKE, BUT YOU
STRING ALL OF THEM TOGETHER AND
00:27:31.85\00:27:35.22
YOU CAN GET THE TIMELINE
OF WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE.
00:27:35.22\00:27:38.85
AND THEN, OF COURSE, JESUS
TURNED TO HIM AND SAID, 'VERILY
00:27:38.85\00:27:42.72
I SAY TO YOU TODAY, YOU WILL
BE WITH ME IN PARADISE.' - 'I'M
00:27:42.72\00:27:46.29
TELLING YOU TODAY', NOT 'YOU'LL
BE IN PARADISE WITH ME TODAY'
00:27:46.29\00:27:49.53
BECAUSE JESUS DIDN'T
GO TO PARADISE THAT DAY.
00:27:49.53\00:27:52.10
A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN
CONFUSED BY THAT MISTRANSLATED
00:27:52.10\00:27:54.77
COMMA THAT'S THERE.
ANYWAY, SO HE ISSUES THIS CRY
00:27:54.77\00:28:00.18
OF DERELICTION FROM THE CROSS.
AND WHEN HE SAYS, 'ELOI, ELOI' -
00:28:00.18\00:28:05.55
THIS IS ONE OF THE PLACES WHERE
IT GIVES IT TO YOU IN THE HEBREW
00:28:05.55\00:28:09.88
SO YOU'LL KNOW WHY THEY
WERE CONFUSED ABOUT WHAT HE WAS
00:28:09.88\00:28:12.39
SAYING, BECAUSE IN HEBREW IT'S
'ELOI, ELOI' - IT'S SIMILAR TO
00:28:12.39\00:28:15.76
ELIJAH - AND THEY THOUGHT
THAT HE WAS CRYING FOR ELIJAH.
00:28:15.76\00:28:20.63
HE WAS PROBABLY HOARSE AND -
"SOME OF THOSE WHO STOOD THERE,"
00:28:20.63\00:28:26.00
- THIS IS MATTHEW 27:47 -
"WHEN THEY HEARD THAT, SAID,
00:28:26.00\00:28:29.47
'THIS MAN IS
CALLING FOR ELIJAH!'
00:28:29.47\00:28:31.24
IMMEDIATELY, ONE OF THEM RAN AND
TOOK A SPONGE," - THEY HAD ALSO
00:28:31.24\00:28:34.54
HEARD HIM SAY, 'I THIRST' -
FILLED IT WITH SOUR WINE AND PUT
00:28:34.54\00:28:38.08
IT ON A REED," - HE'S UP SO HIGH
THEY CAN'T REACH HIM, SO THEY
00:28:38.08\00:28:41.88
PUT IT ON A REED - "AND OFFERED
IT TO HIM TO DRINK. THE REST
00:28:41.88\00:28:46.29
SAID, 'LET HIM ALONE; LET US
SEE IF ELIJAH WILL COME TO SAVE
00:28:46.29\00:28:49.32
HIM.'" - NOW, I WANT TO PAUSE
RIGHT THERE. WHAT DO THEY GIVE
00:28:49.32\00:28:54.46
HIM ON THE CROSS? >>WINE.
00:28:54.46\00:28:56.97
>>ONE GOSPEL SAYS
THAT HE REFUSED IT.
00:28:56.97\00:28:59.40
JOHN SAYS, 'WHEN HE RECEIVED IT'
AND 'HE TASTED IT.' NOW ONCE HE
00:28:59.40\00:29:04.81
REALIZED IT WAS SOUR WINE, HE
WOULDN'T DRINK IT BECAUSE IT HAD
00:29:04.81\00:29:08.74
- IT WAS SOUR WINE MIXED WITH
GALL, WHICH WAS A NARCOTIC THAT
00:29:08.74\00:29:12.18
THEY WOULD GIVE TO
HELP DULL THE PAIN.
00:29:12.18\00:29:14.72
HYPOTHETICALLY, THE ROMANS SAY
THAT THEY DID THAT TO PROLONG
00:29:14.72\00:29:20.02
THEIR SUFFERING, BUT BE IT WHAT
IT MAY, JESUS DIDN'T WANT IT
00:29:20.02\00:29:26.23
BECAUSE HE WANTED HIS MIND
CLEAR. AND HE EVEN REFUSED DRUGS
00:29:26.23\00:29:30.77
ON THE CROSS. I'M
NOT SAYING THERE'S NEVER
00:29:30.77\00:29:32.80
A TIME TO DO THAT, I'M JUST
TELLING YOU WHAT THIS SAYS HERE
00:29:32.80\00:29:36.07
AND WHAT - YOU ALSO READ
THAT IN THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY .
00:29:36.07\00:29:40.14
WHAT WAS THE
FIRST MIRACLE OF JESUS?
00:29:40.14\00:29:44.18
TURNED WATER TO WINE.
WAS IT OLD WINE OR NEW WINE?
00:29:44.18\00:29:48.22
NEW WINE - IT'S A WEDDING.
HE SAVED THE BEST FOR LAST.
00:29:48.22\00:29:52.05
YOU CAN GET OLD
WINE ALL YEAR LONG.
00:29:52.05\00:29:54.42
YOU CAN ONLY GET NEW
WINE CLOSE TO THE HARVEST.
00:29:54.42\00:29:57.39
HE GAVE THEM FRESH GRAPE JUICE.
THE WORD 'WINE' AND GRAPE JUICE
00:29:57.39\00:30:00.76
ARE INTERCHANGEABLE IN THE BIBLE
AND IT EVEN TALKS ABOUT WHEN THE
00:30:00.76\00:30:06.50
HOLY SPIRIT WAS POURED OUT, THEY
ACCUSED THE DISCIPLES OF BEING
00:30:06.50\00:30:08.97
FULL OF NEW WINE AND WERE SORT
OF MOCKING THEM BECAUSE THEY
00:30:08.97\00:30:11.97
SAID, 'OH, YOU'RE SAYING YOU'RE
DRINKING NEW WINE, BUT YOU'RE
00:30:11.97\00:30:14.21
ACTING LIKE YOU'RE
DRINKING OLD WINE.'
00:30:14.21\00:30:18.21
SO THE FIRST MIRACLE OF JESUS,
HE GIVES MAN NEW WINE AT A
00:30:18.21\00:30:22.75
WEDDING. THE LAST
THING THAT HAPPENS
00:30:22.75\00:30:25.29
IMMEDIATELY BEFORE HE
DIES, MAN GIVES HIM SOUR WINE.
00:30:25.29\00:30:30.23
WE ARE SAVED, IN
EFFECT, BY A BLOOD TRANSFUSION.
00:30:30.23\00:30:34.96
CHRIST TAKES OUR BAD WINE - OUR
BLOOD, OUR SIN - BLOOD IS, YOU
00:30:34.96\00:30:41.00
KNOW, IT'S A SYMBOL OF
LIFE - THE LIFE IS IN THE BLOOD.
00:30:41.00\00:30:44.07
HE TAKES OUR SIN, HE
GIVES US HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS.
00:30:44.07\00:30:48.28
HE GAVE TO MAN HIS MIRACULOUS
WINE - NEW WINE - BY THE WAY, AT
00:30:48.28\00:30:53.85
THE LAST SUPPER IT TELLS US -
AND WE READ THIS LAST TIME - HE
00:30:53.85\00:30:57.29
SAID, 'I WILL NOT DRINK OF THE
FRUIT OF THE VINE AGAIN UNTIL I
00:30:57.29\00:30:59.75
DRINK IT WITH YOU NEW IN
THE FATHER'S KINGDOM - NEW WINE.
00:30:59.75\00:31:04.43
IT WAS UNLEAVENED BREAD. IT
WAS UNFERMENTED GRAPE JUICE.
00:31:04.43\00:31:06.26
I LIKE TO EMPHASIZE THAT BECAUSE
PEOPLE THINK JESUS TURNED WATER
00:31:06.26\00:31:08.76
TO WINE, HE MADE A BUNCH
OF BOOZE - THEY USE THAT AS AN
00:31:08.76\00:31:11.03
EXCUSE TO DRINK ALCOHOL, IN
SPITE OF EVERYTHING ELSE THE
00:31:11.03\00:31:13.94
BIBLE SAYS, AND IT'S THE
MOST DEADLY DRUG IN OUR CULTURE
00:31:13.94\00:31:18.51
TODAY. SO I THINK THAT'S
A TERRIBLE MISTAKE TO MAKE.
00:31:18.51\00:31:21.68
AND THEN HE TASTES THE
SOUR WINE THAT MEN OFFER HIM.
00:31:21.68\00:31:26.55
HE COMES TO BLESS WHILE HE'S
BEING CURSED - HE TAKES THE SOUR
00:31:26.55\00:31:30.69
WINE. AND WHAT HAPPENS?
IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAT IT SAYS
00:31:30.69\00:31:34.59
HE GIVES UP THE
GHOST AND HE DIES.
00:31:34.59\00:31:39.73
AND IT SAYS, LET ME SEE HERE,
THEY PUT THE SPONGE, LET HIM
00:31:39.73\00:31:44.23
ALONE - ALRIGHT, VERSE 50, "AND
JESUS CRIED OUT AGAIN" - I'M IN
00:31:44.23\00:31:47.64
MATTHEW 27 - WITH A LOUD VOICE,
AND YIELDED UP HIS SPIRIT."
00:31:47.64\00:31:52.44
RIGHT AFTER HE TASTES THE SOUR
WINE HE CRIES OUT - AND WHAT
00:31:52.44\00:31:55.91
DOES HE CRY? IF YOU
LOOK HERE - SOMEONE'S
00:31:55.91\00:31:58.55
GOING TO READ FOR ME
JOHN 19:30 - WHOSE GOT THAT?
00:31:58.55\00:32:03.25
ALRIGHT, I DIDN'T GIVE THEM MUCH
WARNING TO GET YOU ON CAMERA.
00:32:03.25\00:32:07.06
ARE YOU READY? GO
AHEAD, WHY DON'T YOU
00:32:07.06\00:32:08.16
READ THAT FOR US, SAMMY?
>>"SO WHEN JESUS HAD RECEIVED
00:32:08.16\00:32:10.56
THE SOUR WINE, HE
SAID, 'IT IS FINISHED!'
00:32:10.56\00:32:14.46
AND BOWING HIS HEAD,
HE GAVE UP HIS SPIRIT."
00:32:14.46\00:32:18.10
>>ALRIGHT, AND I'M GOING TO ADD
THE VERSE LUKE 23:46, "AND WHEN
00:32:18.10\00:32:22.10
JESUS HAD CRIED OUT WITH A LOUD
VOICE," - NOW WE JUST READ IN
00:32:22.10\00:32:24.57
MATTHEW HE SAID SOMETHING WITH A
LOUD VOICE JUST BEFORE HE DIED.
00:32:24.57\00:32:27.78
MATTHEW DOESN'T SAY WHAT HE
SAID, JUST THAT HE CRIED OUT.
00:32:27.78\00:32:30.45
JOHN AND LUKE TELL US WHAT HE
SAID - "HE SAID, 'FATHER, INTO
00:32:30.45\00:32:34.98
YOUR HANDS I COMMIT MY SPIRIT.'
HAVING SAID THIS, HE BREATHED
00:32:34.98\00:32:38.95
HIS LAST." SO, EVIDENTLY
HE SAID, 'IT IS FINISHED.
00:32:38.95\00:32:42.99
FATHER, INTO YOUR HANDS I COMMIT
MY SPIRIT.' YOU PIECE THIS
00:32:42.99\00:32:46.16
TOGETHER. YOU
SEE WHAT WE'RE DOING?
00:32:46.16\00:32:47.60
WE'RE GOING THROUGH THE THREE
GOSPELS AND WE'RE SHOWING WHAT
00:32:47.60\00:32:49.90
HE SAID. AND SOME
PEOPLE SAY, 'WELL,
00:32:49.90\00:32:52.17
THAT'S THE SAME - THAT
MEANS THE BIBLE'S INCONSISTENT.'
00:32:52.17\00:32:55.10
NOT AT ALL. I
THINK THAT PROVES IT.
00:32:55.10\00:32:56.84
THEY'RE ALL - THE GOSPEL WRITERS
ARE GIVING THE RECORD OF WHAT
00:32:56.84\00:32:59.37
THEY REMEMBER AND WHAT THEY SAW
AND THEY DON'T CONTRADICT EACH
00:32:59.37\00:33:02.01
OTHER, THEY'RE JUST NOT
SAYING EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED.
00:33:02.01\00:33:05.18
I MEAN, IF YOU PUT EVERYTHING ON
- IN THE BIBLE OF WHAT HAPPENED
00:33:05.18\00:33:08.38
IN THOSE SIX HOURS HE WAS
ON THE CROSS - EVERYTHING THAT
00:33:08.38\00:33:10.39
EVERYBODY SAID - EVEN JOHN,
IN HIS GOSPEL, HE SAID, 'IF WE
00:33:10.39\00:33:13.62
SHOULD WRITE EVERYTHING,
THE WORLD COULD NOT CONTAIN THE
00:33:13.62\00:33:15.69
BOOKS.' SO HE SAID, 'WE'VE
COALESCED THE STORY.' AND SO
00:33:15.69\00:33:19.66
THAT SHOULDN'T
SURPRISE US. I THINK THAT'S
00:33:19.66\00:33:21.06
ACTUALLY EVIDENCE.
ALRIGHT, THEN IT SAYS TORN
00:33:21.06\00:33:23.90
VEIL AND RENT ROCKS . IF YOU
LOOK IN MATTHEW 27:51 AND WE'RE
00:33:23.90\00:33:28.24
GOING TO READ THROUGH
54. RIGHT AFTER HE SAYS
00:33:28.24\00:33:30.77
THIS 'IT IS FINISHED.
FATHER, INTO YOUR HANDS I COMMIT
00:33:30.77\00:33:34.41
MY SPIRIT.' HE CRIES IT OUT WITH
A LOUD VOICE THAT'S ALMOST LIKE
00:33:34.41\00:33:37.11
THIS - THIS FINAL SURGE
OF ENERGY COMES INTO HIM.
00:33:37.11\00:33:43.39
I'VE BEEN PART OF A FEW VIGILS
OF PEOPLE WHO WERE DYING -
00:33:43.39\00:33:51.09
STRUGGLING WITH CANCER - AND
IT'S UNCANNY HOW MANY TIMES IT
00:33:51.09\00:33:54.56
SEEMS THAT A PERSON WILL -
THEY'RE CONFUSED AND THEY CAN'T
00:33:54.56\00:33:59.57
THINK AND THEY'RE STRUGGLING
AND THEY'RE MAYBE UNDER THE
00:33:59.57\00:34:01.84
INFLUENCE OF SOME OF THE
PAIN KILLERS AND THEN, ALL OF A
00:34:01.84\00:34:05.34
SUDDEN IT'S LIKE THE LIGHT
BREAKS THROUGH AND THEY BECOME
00:34:05.34\00:34:09.14
VERY LUCID AND THEY BECOME CLEAR
AND THEY TALK TO THE FAMILY AND
00:34:09.14\00:34:13.45
WITHIN A FEW HOURS, THEY DIE.
IT'S LIKE THERE'S THIS - ANY
00:34:13.45\00:34:16.65
OF YOU OBSERVE THAT BEFORE?
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT?
00:34:16.65\00:34:19.62
IT'S LIKE THESE MOMENTS OF
CLARITY COME TO THEM, THEY GET
00:34:19.62\00:34:22.56
UP, THEY SAY GOOD-BYE TO
EVERYBODY - IT'S LIKE JACOB JUST
00:34:22.56\00:34:24.73
BEFORE HE DIED, HE BLESSED THE
CHILDREN, THEN HE LAYS DOWN AND
00:34:24.73\00:34:26.59
HE DIES. AND JESUS,
IT'S LIKE HE GOT THIS
00:34:26.59\00:34:29.93
SURGE OF ENERGY AFTER BEING
ON THE CROSS, AND HE CRIES OUT
00:34:29.93\00:34:34.07
TRIUMPHANTLY, WITH A
LOUD VOICE, 'IT IS FINISHED!'
00:34:34.07\00:34:38.67
WHAT WAS FINISHED? HIS LIFE?
00:34:38.67\00:34:42.41
'FATHER, INTO YOUR HANDS I
COMMIT MY SPIRIT.' HAD HE LOST
00:34:42.41\00:34:45.11
FAITH? WE'VE BEEN
STUDYING JOB HERE AT
00:34:45.11\00:34:48.62
GRANITE BAY, GOING THROUGH A
SERIES ON JOB AND, IN SPITE OF
00:34:48.62\00:34:53.42
ALL OF HIS SUFFERINGS,
JOB DOES NOT LOSE FAITH.
00:34:53.42\00:34:56.73
AND SO JESUS CRIES OUT -
HE DIDN'T SAY, 'WHY HAVE YOU
00:34:56.73\00:35:00.13
FORSAKEN ME?' BECAUSE HE THOUGHT
00:35:00.13\00:35:01.33
HE WAS FORSAKEN. HE
KNEW WHY HE WAS FORSAKEN.
00:35:01.33\00:35:04.93
THAT'S WHAT HE WAS
PRAYING ABOUT IN THE GARDEN.
00:35:04.93\00:35:06.67
HE READ PSALM 22.
00:35:06.67\00:35:08.04
BY THE WAY, IT WAS CUSTOMARY FOR
THE HIGH PRIEST TO READ FROM ONE
00:35:08.04\00:35:13.07
OF THE MESSIANIC
PSALMS DURING THE PASSOVER.
00:35:13.07\00:35:16.98
JESUS IS THE HIGH
PRIEST - HE'S ALSO THE LAMB.
00:35:16.98\00:35:19.78
IT'S THE PASSOVER - HE'S READING
FROM ONE OF THE MESSIANIC PSALMS
00:35:19.78\00:35:23.49
AND HE HAPPENS TO READ THE
MESSIANIC PSALM THAT PERFECTLY
00:35:23.49\00:35:26.96
DESCRIBES WHAT'S
HAPPENING THAT DAY TO HIM.
00:35:26.96\00:35:30.26
I ALSO WONDER IF NICODEMUS
AND JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA, TWO
00:35:30.26\00:35:34.83
SCHOLARS IN ISRAEL, WHEN THEY
HEARD JESUS SAY THAT, THEY KNEW.
00:35:34.83\00:35:39.17
BECAUSE, YOU NOTICE, THEY
BOTH SUDDENLY BECOME VERY BRAVE.
00:35:39.17\00:35:42.40
BEFORE THE CROSS THEY
WERE HIDING THEIR FAITH.
00:35:42.40\00:35:44.71
AFTER THE CROSS JOSEPH
GOES BOLDLY TO PILATE TO GET THE
00:35:44.71\00:35:48.51
BODY. NICODEMUS COMES OUT OF THE
00:35:48.51\00:35:50.25
CLOSET AND HE PAYS
FOR THE BURIAL MATERIALS.
00:35:50.25\00:35:53.08
AND YOU WONDER IF THEY
RECOGNIZED, IN THAT STATEMENT,
00:35:53.08\00:35:56.35
SOMETHING THAT
THEY HAD MISSED BEFORE.
00:35:56.35\00:35:58.19
ALRIGHT, SO MATTHEW
27:51, "AND JESUS CRIED OUT."
00:35:58.19\00:36:04.19
HE YIELDED UP HIS SPIRIT "THEN,
BEHOLD, THE VEIL OF THE TEMPLE
00:36:04.19\00:36:07.66
WAS TORN IN TWO FROM TOP TO
BOTTOM; AND THE EARTH QUAKED,
00:36:07.66\00:36:12.77
AND THE ROCKS WERE SPLIT, AND
THE GRAVES WERE OPENED; AND MANY
00:36:12.77\00:36:16.94
BODIES" - NOT ALL THE BODIES
- "MANY BODIES OF THE SAINTS WHO
00:36:16.94\00:36:20.31
HAD FALLEN ASLEEP" - THIS IS NOT
A UNIVERSAL RESURRECTION - IT
00:36:20.31\00:36:23.95
SAYS, "COMING OUT OF THE GRAVES
AFTER HIS RESURRECTION," -
00:36:23.95\00:36:27.05
GRAVES WERE OPENED
DURING THE EARTHQUAKE.
00:36:27.05\00:36:28.45
THEY DON'T COME OUT
OF THE GRAVES UNTIL WHEN?
00:36:28.45\00:36:31.79
AFTER HIS RESURRECTION. WHY?
BECAUSE HE HAD TO RISE FIRST
00:36:31.79\00:36:34.26
AND BUY THEM PERMISSION.
IT SAYS, "THEY WENT INTO THE
00:36:34.26\00:36:39.53
HOLY CITY" - THIS IS NOT
A UNIVERSAL RESURRECTION.
00:36:39.53\00:36:41.96
IT HAPPENS IN THE HOLY CITY WITH
SOME - "AND APPEARED TO MANY."
00:36:41.96\00:36:45.63
THIS IS SUCH A SMALL GROUP THAT
THIS SPECIAL RESURRECTION OF A
00:36:45.63\00:36:49.34
FEW OF THE SAINTS WHO HAD DIED
AND BEEN BURIED - THEIR GRAVES
00:36:49.34\00:36:53.38
ARE AROUND JERUSALEM, IT'S NOT,
YOU KNOW, MOSES ON MOUNT NEBO -
00:36:53.38\00:36:57.25
OF COURSE, MOSES WAS ALREADY
IN HEAVEN - OR AARON, OR ANY OF
00:36:57.25\00:37:00.78
THESE OTHERS, IT'S - SOME OF
THE LOCAL SAINTS, BURIED AROUND
00:37:00.78\00:37:03.59
JERUSALEM. IT'S NOT
MENTIONED BY MARK, IT'S
00:37:03.59\00:37:06.72
NOT MENTIONED BY LUKE, IT'S NOT
MENTIONED BY JOHN - SMALL GROUP,
00:37:06.72\00:37:11.09
VERY BRIEFLY - AND IT WAS ALSO
PROBABLY HARD - THESE ARE, YOU
00:37:11.09\00:37:14.46
KNOW, ANECDOTAL STORIES OF
PEOPLE IN THE CITY, THEY SAID,
00:37:14.46\00:37:17.10
'I SAW SOMEBODY WHO CLAIMED TO
BE THE PROPHET ISAIAH.' 'I SAW
00:37:17.10\00:37:21.07
SOMEBODY - IT WAS JOHN
THE BAPTIST.' I MEAN, I DON'T
00:37:21.07\00:37:23.91
KNOW WHO WAS IN THAT GROUP.
I HOPE JOHN THE BAPTIST WAS IN
00:37:23.91\00:37:26.64
THE GROUP, BUT WE DON'T
KNOW. AND THE VEIL WAS RENT.
00:37:26.64\00:37:34.55
NOW THERE WAS AN
EARTHQUAKE WHEN JESUS DIED.
00:37:34.55\00:37:37.62
WILL THERE BE AN
EARTHQUAKE WHEN HE COMES AGAIN?
00:37:37.62\00:37:40.29
YEAH. WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN IT
SAYS, 'THE VEIL WAS RENT IN THE
00:37:40.29\00:37:45.99
TEMPLE? WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE OF
THAT VEIL? IT SEPARATED - YEAH,
00:37:45.99\00:37:56.40
IT SEPARATED THE HOLY
PLACE FROM THE MOST HOLY.
00:37:56.40\00:37:59.54
MATTER OF FACT, IF YOU LOOK IN
2 CHRONICLES 3:14, HE, SOLOMON,
00:37:59.54\00:38:03.91
MADE THE VEIL - THIS IS IN
THE PERMANENT TEMPLE - OF BLUE,
00:38:03.91\00:38:07.48
PURPLE, CRIMSON, FINE LINEN,
AND WOVE CHERUBIM INTO IT.
00:38:07.48\00:38:12.65
IT WAS A VERY
LARGE, THICK CURTAIN.
00:38:12.65\00:38:14.96
ONE PERSON SAID IT WAS AS
THICK AS A MAN'S HAND IS WIDE.
00:38:14.96\00:38:19.66
AND SO, FOR IT TO TEAR, IT
WASN'T LIKE, YOU KNOW, THIS THIN
00:38:19.66\00:38:24.00
MUSLIN CLOTH THAT SUDDENLY JUST
RIPPED BECAUSE IT WAS MOLDY AND
00:38:24.00\00:38:27.70
A WIND WENT THROUGH, THIS WAS A
SUPERNATURAL SHREDDING THAT TOOK
00:38:27.70\00:38:32.61
PLACE THAT WAS ACCOMPLISHED
BY GOD - SYMBOLIZING WHAT?
00:38:32.61\00:38:37.85
ALL THE TEMPLE WAS BUILT
AROUND THE SACRIFICING OF LAMBS.
00:38:37.85\00:38:42.72
NOW THE LAMB OF GOD
WAS DYING OUTSIDE THE CITY.
00:38:42.72\00:38:45.15
HE WAS THE FULFILLMENT
OF ALL THAT IT POINTED TO.
00:38:45.15\00:38:49.02
DO WE HAVE ANOTHER TEMPLE
STILL? YOU REMEMBER, JESUS SAID,
00:38:49.02\00:38:53.40
'DESTROY THIS TEMPLE MADE OF
HANDS; I WILL MAKE ONE WITHOUT
00:38:53.40\00:38:56.87
HANDS.' AND HE
SPOKE OF HIS BODY.
00:38:56.87\00:39:00.04
SO, WHEN HE DIED ON THE CROSS
AND SAID, 'IT IS FINISHED', HE
00:39:00.04\00:39:04.07
COMPLETED THE PURPOSE
OF THE TYPES IN THE TEMPLE.
00:39:04.07\00:39:07.91
WE DON'T NEED TO
REBUILD THE TEMPLE OF JERUSALEM.
00:39:07.91\00:39:10.55
WE DON'T NEED TO
SACRIFICE LAMBS ANYMORE.
00:39:10.55\00:39:12.38
THE TEMPLE VEIL WAS TORN AND,
YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE WAS TORN?
00:39:12.38\00:39:16.32
DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN THE HIGH
PRIEST BECAME OUTRAGED DURING
00:39:16.32\00:39:19.22
THE TRIAL OF CHRIST?
IT SAYS HE TORE HIS ROBES.
00:39:19.22\00:39:22.89
SO THE ROBES OF THE PRIEST
WERE TORN BECAUSE WE HAVE A NEW
00:39:22.89\00:39:25.26
PRIESTHOOD NOW.
CHRIST IS OUR HIGH PRIEST AND
00:39:25.26\00:39:27.93
WE ARE A NATION
OF KINGS AND PRIESTS.
00:39:27.93\00:39:30.07
AND - NEW TEMPLE - YOU ARE THE
TEMPLE OF GOD, THE BIBLE SAYS.
00:39:30.07\00:39:34.00
YOU ARE LIVING
STONES IN THAT TEMPLE.
00:39:34.00\00:39:35.57
CHRIST IS A CORNERSTONE.
AND SO THAT OLD SYSTEM - AND,
00:39:35.57\00:39:39.37
YOU KNOW, I LOVE AND RESPECT MY
BROTHERS AND SISTERS OUT THERE
00:39:39.37\00:39:42.64
THAT HAVE A STRONG
BURDEN FOR THE FEAST DAYS.
00:39:42.64\00:39:47.25
IF SOME PEOPLE SAY, YOU KNOW, 'I
WOULD LIKE TO ENTER INTO SOME OF
00:39:47.25\00:39:50.45
THE SYMBOLISM OF WHAT HAPPENED
DURING THE JEWISH FEASTS, I HAVE
00:39:50.45\00:39:54.26
NO BURDEN TO CHANGE THEIR MIND.
PAUL SAYS, IN ROMANS 14, 'IF A
00:39:54.26\00:39:57.83
MAN REGARDS A DAY UNTO THE LORD,
LET HIM REGARD IT TO THE LORD.
00:39:57.83\00:40:00.83
IF HE DOESN'T - TO THE LORD, HE
DOES NOT REGARD IT.' THAT'S WHAT
00:40:00.83\00:40:03.57
HE'S TALKING ABOUT IN ROMANS.
HE'S NOT TALKING ABOUT CHRISTMAS
00:40:03.57\00:40:06.87
- MAYBE HE IS TALKING
ABOUT CHRISTMAS LATER.
00:40:06.87\00:40:08.94
IGNORE THAT LAST STATEMENT, YOU
DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M THINKING.
00:40:08.94\00:40:12.74
BUT HE'S NOT TALKING ABOUT THE
SABBATH WHEN HE SAYS, IN ROMANS
00:40:12.74\00:40:16.85
14, 'ONE MAN REGARDS A DAY UNTO
THE LORD AND ANOTHER MAN DOESN'T
00:40:16.85\00:40:19.21
REGARD IT.' IT'S INTERESTING.
00:40:19.21\00:40:20.98
I'VE NEVER HEARD A
SUNDAY-KEEPING PASTOR TELL HIS
00:40:20.98\00:40:23.95
CONGREGATION
THAT REGARDING SUNDAY.
00:40:23.95\00:40:27.16
IF YOU WANT TO REGARD
IT TO THE LORD, GO AHEAD.
00:40:27.16\00:40:28.39
IF YOU DON'T,
IT DOESN'T MATTER.'
00:40:28.39\00:40:29.42
THEY DON'T EVER SAY
THAT. THEY ONLY MENTION IT WHEN
00:40:29.42\00:40:31.63
THEY HEAR THE
SABBATH. PAUL WAS TALKING ABOUT
00:40:31.63\00:40:33.76
THE RELIGIOUS FEASTS. AND
IF A PERSON HAS A BURDEN TO
00:40:33.76\00:40:36.77
DO THAT, I JUST DON'T FIND ANY
COMMAND IN THE BIBLE THAT YOU
00:40:36.77\00:40:40.50
CAN USE TO IMPOSE
THAT ON OTHER PEOPLE.
00:40:40.50\00:40:43.24
THE BIBLE SAYS
CHRIST IS OUR PASSOVER.
00:40:43.24\00:40:45.24
ALL OF THE ANNUAL FEASTS
ALL CAME AFTER SIN; SABBATH CAME
00:40:45.24\00:40:50.78
BEFORE. THE ANNUAL SABBATHS
00:40:50.78\00:40:54.18
CAME AFTER SIN.
THE SABBATH OF THE
00:40:54.18\00:40:55.75
WEEK CAME BEFORE SIN. IT'S
PART OF GOD'S PERFECT PLAN.
00:40:55.75\00:40:58.95
WE'LL CONTINUE TO
KEEP IT IN HEAVEN, RIGHT?
00:40:58.95\00:41:01.99
FROM WEEK TO WEEK,
FROM SABBATH TO SABBATH.
00:41:01.99\00:41:04.26
SO, TO GO AROUND AND TELL
EVERYBODY THEY'VE GOT TO KEEP
00:41:04.26\00:41:06.26
THE FEASTS - THE VEIL IN
THE TEMPLE HAS BEEN TORN.
00:41:06.26\00:41:09.10
THERE ARE SPIRITUAL THINGS
WE CAN LEARN FROM THE JEWISH
00:41:09.10\00:41:11.67
FEASTS, BUT WE'RE NOT GOING TO
JERUSALEM ANYMORE, THREE TIMES A
00:41:11.67\00:41:14.74
YEAR. WE'RE NOT GOING
TO BE SACRIFICING LAMBS.
00:41:14.74\00:41:16.84
THE BIBLE'S CLEAR
ABOUT CIRCUMCISION.
00:41:16.84\00:41:18.57
IF YOU TRY TO PUT THAT WHOLE LAW
ON PEOPLE, THIS IS WHAT PAUL IS
00:41:18.57\00:41:21.84
TALKING ABOUT IN GALATIANS.
IT SAYS YOU'RE NEGLECTING THE
00:41:21.84\00:41:25.05
GOSPEL NOW AND YOU'RE GOING
BACK TO THOSE OLD CEREMONIES.
00:41:25.05\00:41:28.22
SO I - ALRIGHT, YOU
ALL KNOW HOW I FEEL NOW.
00:41:28.22\00:41:31.65
ALRIGHT, LET'S - SOMEONE'S
GOING TO READ EPHESIANS 4:7 - GO
00:41:31.65\00:41:34.86
AHEAD, KATRINA.
TELL YOU WHAT, I DIDN'T
00:41:34.86\00:41:36.62
GIVE THEM A CHANCE.
LET ME READ SOMETHING ELSE.
00:41:36.62\00:41:38.66
I'M GOING TO READ MATTHEW
CHAPTER 27:54, WHILE THEY GET
00:41:38.66\00:41:42.93
READY FOR YOU. "SO
WHEN THE CENTURION AND THOSE
00:41:42.93\00:41:46.13
WITH HIM, WHO WERE GUARDING
JESUS, SAW THE EARTHQUAKE AND
00:41:46.13\00:41:49.80
THE THINGS THAT HAD HAPPENED,
THEY FEARED GREATLY SAYING,
00:41:49.80\00:41:53.64
'TRULY, THIS WAS THE SON
OF GOD.'" NOW, THE SOLDIER
00:41:53.64\00:41:58.45
- ISN'T IT INTERESTING?
WHO WERE THEY THAT ARE GIVING
00:41:58.45\00:42:00.52
TESTIMONY TO JESUS
AT HIS CRUCIFIXION?
00:42:00.52\00:42:02.88
IT'S NOT PETER, JAMES, AND
JOHN, IT'S A THIEF AND A ROMAN
00:42:02.88\00:42:06.76
SOLDIER. IT'S TWO GENTILES.
00:42:06.76\00:42:10.29
AND WITHIN A GENERATION THERE
WOULD BE MORE GENTILES IN THE
00:42:10.29\00:42:13.50
CHURCH THAN THERE WOULD
BE JEWS. ALRIGHT, GO AHEAD,
00:42:13.50\00:42:16.50
EPHESIANS 4:7. >>"BUT
TO EACH ONE OF US GRACE
00:42:16.50\00:42:20.70
WAS GIVEN ACCORDING TO
THE MEASURE OF CHRIST'S GIFT.
00:42:20.70\00:42:23.77
THEREFORE HE SAYS: 'WHEN
HE ASCENDED ON HIGH, HE LED
00:42:23.77\00:42:27.64
CAPTIVITY CAPTIVE,
AND GAVE GIFTS TO MEN.'"
00:42:27.64\00:42:31.85
>>WHO IS THE CAPTIVITY HE
LED CAPTIVE WHEN HE ASCENDED?
00:42:31.85\00:42:35.65
IT SAYS 'AFTER THE RESURRECTION,
THOSE GRAVES THAT HAD BEEN
00:42:35.65\00:42:37.99
OPENED, THE SAINTS CAME OUT,
THEY BRIEFLY APPEARED TO PEOPLE
00:42:37.99\00:42:41.72
IN THE CITY, AND WHEN
CHRIST ASCENDED TO HEAVEN, THEY
00:42:41.72\00:42:44.89
ASCENDED WITH HIM.
NOW, WHICH ASCENSION
00:42:44.89\00:42:47.60
ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT?
JESUS ASCENDED THE SAME DAY -
00:42:47.60\00:42:51.37
REMEMBER WHEN MARY GRABBED HIS
FEET AND HE SAID 'DO NOT DETAIN
00:42:51.37\00:42:54.10
ME, I'VE NOT YET
ASCENDED TO MY FATHER.'?
00:42:54.10\00:42:56.14
AND THEN JESUS ASCENDED
PERMANENTLY 40 DAYS LATER, JUST
00:42:56.14\00:42:59.44
BEFORE PENTECOST.
THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT THE FIRST
00:42:59.44\00:43:01.98
ASCENSION - IS WHEN HE ASCENDED.
AND SO, THAT'S WHEN THESE
00:43:01.98\00:43:07.18
SAINTS ASCENDED WITH HIM.
HE BORE CAPTIVITY CAPTIVE.
00:43:07.18\00:43:10.22
THIS WAS LIKE A FIRST
FRUITS HE BROUGHT TO HEAVEN.
00:43:10.22\00:43:12.62
ALRIGHT, NOW WE'RE GOING TO
READ ABOUT THE RISEN CHRIST.
00:43:12.62\00:43:15.49
MATTHEW 28, VERSE 1 - NOW,
IT MUST HAVE BEEN A VERY TOUGH
00:43:15.49\00:43:20.36
SABBATH FOR THE BELIEVERS
BECAUSE THEY'RE JUST TOTALLY
00:43:20.36\00:43:23.97
DEJECTED. "NOW
AFTER THE SABBATH, AS THE
00:43:23.97\00:43:27.14
FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK BEGAN
TO DAWN," - VERY CLEAR - WHEN IS
00:43:27.14\00:43:31.27
THE FIRST DAY OF THE
WEEK? AFTER THE SABBATH.
00:43:31.27\00:43:33.74
JESUS ROSE ON SUNDAY. JESUS KEPT
THE SABBATH EVEN IN HIS DEATH.
00:43:33.74\00:43:38.85
ISN'T THAT AMAZING? HE RESTED
IN THE TOMB THROUGH SABBATH.
00:43:38.85\00:43:41.75
AFTER THE SABBATH HE RISES.
"AFTER THE SABBATH, AS THE FIRST
00:43:41.75\00:43:45.22
DAY OF THE WEEK BEGAN TO DAWN,
MARY MAGDALENE AND THE OTHER
00:43:45.22\00:43:47.79
MARY" - MARY, THE WIFE OF
CLEOPHAS - "CAME TO SEE THE
00:43:47.79\00:43:51.46
TOMB. AND BEHOLD, THERE WAS A
GREAT EARTHQUAKE; FOR AN ANGEL
00:43:51.46\00:43:55.86
OF THE LORD DESCENDED
FROM HEAVEN," - NOW, THIS IS A
00:43:55.86\00:43:57.80
DIFFERENT
EARTHQUAKE. THE OTHER EARTHQUAKE
00:43:57.80\00:43:59.00
WAS FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
NOW YOU'VE GOT ONE SUNDAY.
00:43:59.00\00:44:01.77
IS IT A LITTLE EARTHQUAKE?
IT'S A GREAT EARTHQUAKE.
00:44:01.77\00:44:05.47
WHAT ARE PEOPLE IN
THE CITY CALLING IT?
00:44:05.47\00:44:07.21
AFTERSHOCK FROM
THE FIRST EARTHQUAKE.
00:44:07.21\00:44:10.41
ISN'T THAT WHAT GEOLOGISTS WOULD
CALL IT TODAY - IF YOU HAVE
00:44:10.41\00:44:13.21
ANOTHER BIG EARTHQUAKE
YOU'D SAY, 'THAT WAS A BIG
00:44:13.21\00:44:15.32
AFTERSHOCK.' "THERE WAS A GREAT
EARTHQUAKE; FOR AN ANGEL OF THE
00:44:15.32\00:44:21.42
LORD DESCENDED FROM HEAVEN AND
CAME AND ROLLED BACK THE STONE
00:44:21.42\00:44:25.09
FROM THE DOOR, AND SAT ON
IT." - AS IF TO SAY, 'NO ONE'S
00:44:25.09\00:44:28.23
PUTTING IT BACK.' HE WAS DARING
ANYONE - "HIS COUNTENANCE WAS
00:44:28.23\00:44:32.37
LIKE LIGHTNING, AND HIS
CLOTHING AS WHITE AS SNOW.
00:44:32.37\00:44:35.70
AND THE GUARDS SHOOK FOR FEAR OF
HIM, AND BECAME LIKE DEAD MEN.
00:44:35.70\00:44:40.74
BUT THE ANGEL ANSWERED AND SAID
TO THE WOMEN, 'DO NOT BE AFRAID,
00:44:40.74\00:44:44.51
FOR I KNOW THAT YOU
SEEK JESUS WHO WAS CRUCIFIED.
00:44:44.51\00:44:47.35
HE IS NOT HERE; FOR
HE IS RISEN, AS HE SAID.
00:44:47.35\00:44:50.42
COME, SEE THE
PLACE WHERE THE LORD LAY.
00:44:50.42\00:44:52.75
AND GO QUICKLY AND TELL HIS
DISCIPLES THAT HE IS RISEN FROM
00:44:52.75\00:44:55.62
THE DEAD, AND INDEED HE IS GOING
BEFORE YOU INTO GALILEE; THERE
00:44:55.62\00:44:59.39
YOU WILL SEE HIM.
BEHOLD, I HAVE TOLD YOU.'" SO
00:44:59.39\00:45:01.80
THEY GO - EVIDENTLY, THE WOMEN
DIVIDE AND THEY GO INTO TWO
00:45:01.80\00:45:03.97
DIFFERENT GROUPS -
TWO DIFFERENT PLACES.
00:45:03.97\00:45:06.74
MARY GOES AND SHE
FINDS PETER AND JOHN.
00:45:06.74\00:45:08.40
THE OTHER WOMEN, THAT INCLUDED
HIS MOTHER, THEY GO AND THEY
00:45:08.40\00:45:11.84
FIND SOME OF THE OTHER TEN
APOSTLES AND - WELL, I GUESS
00:45:11.84\00:45:15.58
THAT'D BE ANOTHER EIGHT OR
NINE OF THEM - BECAUSE JUDAS
00:45:15.58\00:45:18.88
HAS KILLED
HIMSELF AT THIS POINT.
00:45:18.88\00:45:21.15
AND, WHILE THE WOMEN ARE GOING,
THERE'S ANOTHER APPEARANCE, IF
00:45:21.15\00:45:24.69
YOU READ IN THE OTHER GOSPELS
WHERE THEY TALK TO HIM AS WELL.
00:45:24.69\00:45:27.72
AND MARY COMES BACK
WITH PETER AND JOHN.
00:45:27.72\00:45:31.56
THEY GO IN THE TOMB,
THEY SEE EVERYTHING'S EMPTY.
00:45:31.56\00:45:33.73
THE CLOTH IS
FOLDED. THEY RUN OFF.
00:45:33.73\00:45:36.10
MARY STAYS THERE AND JESUS
APPEARS THEN LATER TO MARY,
00:45:36.10\00:45:38.90
ALONE. AND SO,
BECAUSE SHE'S THE ONE
00:45:38.90\00:45:41.30
WHO KEEPS COMING AND SHE
KEEPS STAYING THERE AT THE TOMB,
00:45:41.30\00:45:44.07
AND THAT HE IS
RISEN. HOW IMPORTANT IS THE
00:45:44.07\00:45:47.08
RESURRECTION TO OUR
FAITH? ANYONE HERE TERMINAL?
00:45:47.08\00:45:54.75
I SEE A COUPLE OF
DOCTORS NODDING THEIR HEADS.
00:45:54.75\00:45:56.65
THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING.
YOU KNOW, LIFE IS TERMINAL.
00:45:56.65\00:46:02.16
UNLESS YOU LIVE AND REMAIN UNTIL
CHRIST'S COMING - IT'S LIKE THEY
00:46:02.16\00:46:06.06
SAY, 'IF YOU LIVE LONG ENOUGH,
YOU'LL DIE.' AND THE - YOU'LL
00:46:06.06\00:46:10.23
GET SICK OR YOU'LL HAVE
AN ACCIDENT, AND WHEN WE SAY
00:46:10.23\00:46:16.50
SOMEONE IS TERMINAL, IT MEANS
THAT THEIR TIME IS BEING CUT
00:46:16.50\00:46:19.77
MUCH SHORTER. YOU
REMEMBER, ONCE ISAIAH CAME
00:46:19.77\00:46:22.48
TO HEZEKIAH AND SAID, 'I'VE
GOT BAD NEWS. YOU'RE TERMINAL.
00:46:22.48\00:46:27.25
GET YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER.' AND HE
CRIED AND HE WEPT, AND GOD FELT
00:46:27.25\00:46:30.55
SORRY FOR HIM. HE CAME
BACK AND HE SAID, 'WELL,
00:46:30.55\00:46:33.56
I'VE GOT GOOD NEWS
AND I'VE GOT BAD NEWS.
00:46:33.56\00:46:36.62
HEZEKIAH SAID - THIS IS DOUG'S
VERSION - HEZEKIAH SAID, 'WHAT'S
00:46:36.62\00:46:39.86
THE GOOD NEWS?' HE
SAID, 'GOD'S GOING TO GIVE
00:46:39.86\00:46:42.70
YOU ANOTHER 15 YEARS.' HE
SAID, 'OH, PRAISE THE LORD.
00:46:42.70\00:46:46.43
WHAT'S THE BAD NEWS?'
HE SAID, 'YOU'RE STILL
00:46:46.43\00:46:47.87
TERMINAL.' NOW, SOMETIMES
THE DOCTORS SAY YOU'VE GOT SIX
00:46:47.87\00:46:52.67
MONTHS, SOMETIMES
THEY SAY YOU'VE GOT A YEAR.
00:46:52.67\00:46:55.71
WELL, ISAIAH CAME AND SAID,
'YOU'VE GOT 15 YEARS.' HE'D
00:46:55.71\00:47:00.35
PROBABLY FEEL A LOT BETTER - THE
DOCTOR SAID, 'LOOK, I'VE GOT BAD
00:47:00.35\00:47:02.82
NEWS, YOU'RE TERMINAL. YOU'VE
ONLY GOT 900 YEARS, LIKE ADAM.
00:47:02.82\00:47:06.25
BUT IF YOU WERE ADAM,
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO LIVE FOREVER.
00:47:06.25\00:47:08.72
900, THAT WAS A REALLY
BAD REPORT FROM THE DOCTOR.
00:47:08.72\00:47:14.10
HOW DID I GET ON THAT?
OH YEAH, IF IT WASN'T FOR
00:47:14.10\00:47:17.97
JESUS, THEN THE
GRAVE WOULD BE HOPELESS.
00:47:17.97\00:47:21.87
BUT, BECAUSE OF THE
RESURRECTION, WE HAVE HOPE.
00:47:21.87\00:47:23.77
1 CORINTHIANS 15, VERSE 14, "AND
IF CHRIST IS NOT RISEN, THEN OUR
00:47:23.77\00:47:28.41
PREACHING IS EMPTY AND
YOUR FAITH IS ALSO EMPTY."
00:47:28.41\00:47:30.51
WE MAY AS WELL ALL
JUST PACK IT UP AND GO HOME.
00:47:30.51\00:47:32.31
"IF, IN THIS LIFE ONLY WE HAVE
HOPE IN CHRIST, WE ARE OF ALL
00:47:32.31\00:47:35.02
MEN THE MOST PITIABLE."
SOMEONE'S GOING TO READ
00:47:35.02\00:47:38.55
1 CORINTHIANS
6:14. IS THAT RIGHT?
00:47:38.55\00:47:41.22
YEAH, GO AHEAD.
>>"AND GOD BOTH RAISED UP THE
00:47:41.22\00:47:45.09
LORD AND WILL ALSO
RAISE US UP BY HIS POWER."
00:47:45.09\00:47:48.73
>>THAT'S A SHORT
VERSE, BUT THAT'S REALLY GOOD.
00:47:48.73\00:47:50.47
IT'S BASICALLY SAYING THE
SAME GOD THAT RAISED UP JESUS IS
00:47:50.47\00:47:53.54
GOING TO RAISE US
UP BY THE SAME POWER.
00:47:53.54\00:47:56.60
THE LORD SPOKE, HE CAME OUT OF
THE BODY - OUT OF THE GRAVE WITH
00:47:56.60\00:47:59.94
A GLORIFIED BODY, AND
HE WILL DO THE SAME FOR US.
00:47:59.94\00:48:02.81
ALRIGHT, LET'S GO TO MATTHEW 28,
VERSE 16, AND WE'LL READ THROUGH
00:48:02.81\00:48:08.55
THE END. AND IT
TALKS HERE ABOUT - YEAH,
00:48:08.55\00:48:14.69
LET ME SEE HERE - "THEN THE
ELEVEN DISCIPLES WENT AWAY INTO
00:48:14.69\00:48:20.73
GALILEE, TO THE MOUNTAIN WHICH
JESUS HAD APPOINTED FOR THEM.
00:48:20.73\00:48:24.63
WHEN THEY SAW HIM,
THEY WORSHIPED HIM; BUT SOME
00:48:24.63\00:48:27.04
DOUBTED." YOU KNOW,
AT ONE TIME IT SAYS HE
00:48:27.04\00:48:29.20
MET WITH 500 AT ONE
TIME, AFTER HIS RESURRECTION.
00:48:29.20\00:48:32.71
WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY
WHAT MEETING THAT WAS.
00:48:32.71\00:48:37.48
"AND WHEN THEY SAW HIM,
THEY WORSHIPED HIM; BUT SOME
00:48:37.48\00:48:39.28
DOUBTED." AND THEY
SAID, 'COULD THIS BE HIM?'
00:48:39.28\00:48:42.08
- YOU'RE ALSO WONDERING IF
THIS IS REFERRING TO WHEN THOMAS
00:48:42.08\00:48:44.22
DOUBTED - "AND JESUS CAME
AND SPOKE TO THEM, SAYING, 'ALL
00:48:44.22\00:48:49.12
AUTHORITY HAS BEEN GIVEN
TO ME IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH.
00:48:49.12\00:48:53.36
GO THEREFORE AND MAKE DISCIPLES
OF ALL NATIONS, BAPTIZING THEM
00:48:53.36\00:48:57.83
IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER,
AND OF THE SON AND OF THE HOLY
00:48:57.83\00:49:00.40
SPIRIT, TEACHING THEM TO OBSERVE
ALL THINGS THAT I HAVE COMMANDED
00:49:00.40\00:49:04.27
YOU; AND LO, I AM WITH YOU
ALWAYS, EVEN TO THE END OF THE
00:49:04.27\00:49:07.58
AGE.' WELL, THIS
IS REALLY GOOD NEWS.
00:49:07.58\00:49:10.41
JESUS IS ALIVE - NOW HAS HE
RETRACTED HIS PROMISE THAT HE'S
00:49:10.41\00:49:14.65
WITH US ALWAYS?
THAT HASN'T CHANGED.
00:49:14.65\00:49:18.29
DID HE SEND THE HOLY
SPIRIT LIKE HE SAID HE WOULD?
00:49:18.29\00:49:21.42
HE SAID HE'S GOT ALL AUTHORITY.
00:49:21.42\00:49:24.09
YOU KNOW, YOU LOOK IN YOUR
LESSON, IT GIVES US DANIEL 7:13,
00:49:24.09\00:49:28.90
"I WAS WATCHING IN THE NIGHT
VISIONS, AND BEHOLD, ONE LIKE
00:49:28.90\00:49:31.13
THE SON OF MAN, COMING
WITH THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN!
00:49:31.13\00:49:34.67
HE CAME TO THE ANCIENT OF DAYS,
AND THEY BROUGHT HIM NEAR BEFORE
00:49:34.67\00:49:38.14
HIM. THEN TO HIM" - THE SON OF
00:49:38.14\00:49:40.84
MAN - WHO IS THE SON OF MAN?
IT'S JESUS - "THEN TO HIM WAS
00:49:40.84\00:49:45.45
GIVEN DOMINION AND GLORY
AND A KINGDOM, THAT ALL PEOPLES,
00:49:45.45\00:49:50.59
NATIONS, AND
LANGUAGES SHOULD SERVE HIM.
00:49:50.59\00:49:53.19
HIS DOMINION IS AN EVERLASTING
DOMINION, WHICH SHALL NOT PASS
00:49:53.19\00:49:56.69
AWAY, AND HIS KINGDOM IS THE ONE
WHICH SHALL NOT BE DESTROYED."
00:49:56.69\00:50:00.23
SO CHRIST HAS ALL
THE AUTHORITY OF GOD.
00:50:00.23\00:50:04.30
FOR HE IS GOD THE SON.
AND SO, IF YOU'RE OBEYING THE
00:50:04.30\00:50:09.77
ORDERS OF THE KING, YOU
HAVE THE KING'S AUTHORITY
00:50:09.77\00:50:12.61
BEHIND YOU, DON'T YOU?
AND THAT'S A REASON WHY YOU
00:50:12.61\00:50:15.74
DON'T EVER HAVE TO BE ASHAMED.
AND THEN HE SAID, 'LOOK, I'M
00:50:15.74\00:50:18.38
WITH YOU ALWAYS, EVEN
UNTO THE END OF THE WORLD.
00:50:18.38\00:50:21.58
OR IT SAYS HERE, 'THE END OF
THE AGE.' I THINK IT WAS DAVID
00:50:21.58\00:50:25.12
LIVINGSTONE THAT SAID, WHEN
ASKED, 'ARE YOU NEVER AFRAID?'
00:50:25.12\00:50:31.06
AS MANY TIMES AS HE WAS GOING
ACROSS AFRICA WHEN IT WAS PRETTY
00:50:31.06\00:50:35.36
WILD AND PRIMITIVE, DAVID
LIVINGSTONE WAS ATTACKED BY A
00:50:35.36\00:50:38.37
LION AND SURVIVED. NOT
TOO MANY PEOPLE BESIDE HE
00:50:38.37\00:50:41.17
AND DANIEL CAN SAY THAT -
AND DANIEL WASN'T EVEN ATTACKED.
00:50:41.17\00:50:47.38
AND SEVERAL TIMES, LIVINGSTONE,
WHEN HE WAS OUT THERE, HE WAS
00:50:47.38\00:50:50.75
MOSTLY DOING
MISSION WORK AND EXPLORING.
00:50:50.75\00:50:56.28
HE WAS THREATENED FREQUENTLY FOR
ENTERING NEW TERRITORY AND YOU
00:50:56.28\00:51:00.16
COULD HEAR THE DRUMS AND THE
NATIVES CARRYING ON ALL NIGHT
00:51:00.16\00:51:04.26
LONG AND THEY SAID THEY
WERE GOING TO ATTACK HIM AT ANY
00:51:04.26\00:51:05.76
MOMENT AND PEOPLE
SAID, 'AREN'T YOU AFRAID?'
00:51:05.76\00:51:08.33
HE SAID, 'NO.' HE SAID, 'I'VE
BEEN TOLD TO GO INTO ALL THE
00:51:08.33\00:51:13.13
WORLD AND THE LORD SAID, 'I
AM WITH YOU WHEREVER YOU GO' AND
00:51:13.13\00:51:17.37
THAT'S THE PROMISE OF A
GENTLEMAN AND HE IS WITH ME.
00:51:17.37\00:51:21.08
I HAVE NOTHING TO BE AFRAID
OF. AND IF I DIE DOING WHAT HE'S
00:51:21.08\00:51:23.38
TOLD ME TO DO' - AND HE
DIDN'T DIE FROM ANY VIOLENT ACT,
00:51:23.38\00:51:27.45
HE DIED AS HE GOT OLD,
FROM MALARIA. BUT HE HAD FAITH.
00:51:27.45\00:51:33.19
WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY
IF GOD IS WITH US. AMEN?
00:51:33.19\00:51:35.42
WHAT HAS THE LORD
TOLD US TO DO WHEN WE GO?
00:51:35.42\00:51:37.89
HE SAID GO WHERE? EVERYWHERE.
GO INTO ALL THE WORLD.
00:51:37.89\00:51:41.13
AND DO WHAT? PREACH
AND TEACH AND BAPTIZE.
00:51:41.13\00:51:47.57
NOW, DO YOU JUST BAPTIZE
THEM AND LEAVE THEM, OR IS THERE
00:51:47.57\00:51:49.34
TEACHING THAT COMES AFTERWARD?
NOTICE WHAT IT SAYS HERE: 'GO,
00:51:49.34\00:51:54.28
THEREFORE, AND MAKE DISCIPLES
OF ALL NATIONS.' IS MAKING
00:51:54.28\00:51:57.08
DISCIPLES THE
SAME AS JUST PREACHING?
00:51:57.08\00:51:59.08
>>NO. >>THAT
MEANS BE TEACHING THEM -
00:51:59.08\00:52:01.72
GO DO WITH OTHERS WHAT
JESUS DID WITH THE TWELVE.
00:52:01.72\00:52:04.85
HOW DID JESUS MAKE DISCIPLES?
DID HE JUST PREACH TO THE
00:52:04.85\00:52:08.06
APOSTLES AND WALK AWAY, OR DID
HE SPEND TIME WITH THEM, TAUGHT
00:52:08.06\00:52:11.89
THEM, HELP THEM AS THEY MADE
MISTAKES, GUIDED THEM, WHEN THEY
00:52:11.89\00:52:16.00
HAD QUESTIONS HE ANSWERED THEM,
AND - THAT'S CALLED DISCIPLING.
00:52:16.00\00:52:19.83
YOU'RE HELPING A PERSON.
YOU'RE TEACHING THEM HOW TO
00:52:19.83\00:52:22.27
REALLY LEARN A NEW WAY OF
LIFE. 'GO THEREFORE, AND MAKE
00:52:22.27\00:52:25.94
DISCIPLES OF ALL NATIONS AND,
AFTER THEY'RE MADE DISCIPLES,
00:52:25.94\00:52:28.98
BAPTIZING THEM' - SOMETIMES
WE BAPTIZE PEOPLE BEFORE THEY'RE
00:52:28.98\00:52:32.18
COMMITTED AS DISCIPLES.
BAPTIZING THEM IN THE NAME OF
00:52:32.18\00:52:35.88
THE FATHER AND THE
SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:52:35.88\00:52:38.29
NOW THERE'S BEEN QUITE
A BIT MADE OUT OF THIS.
00:52:38.29\00:52:42.26
WHEN WE BAPTIZE, WHAT BAPTIZE DO
WE NAME - DO WE - WHAT NAME DO
00:52:42.26\00:52:46.66
WE BAPTIZE IN?
FATHER, SON, AND HOLY SPIRIT.
00:52:46.66\00:52:49.83
WHERE ELSE IN THE BIBLE DOES IT
SAY BAPTIZE IN THE NAME OF THE
00:52:49.83\00:52:52.67
FATHER, SON, AND HOLY
SPIRIT? THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE.
00:52:52.67\00:52:57.41
AND SO, A LOT OF OUR CHARISMATIC
FRIENDS - THERE'S SOME PEOPLE
00:52:57.41\00:53:01.01
FROM THE APOSTOLIC PENTECOSTAL
CHURCH - JESUS ONLY - THE
00:53:01.01\00:53:05.11
ONENESS PENTECOSTAL - A NUMBER
OF CHURCHES THEY SAY, 'YOU'RE
00:53:05.11\00:53:08.88
NOT REALLY BAPTIZED IF YOU'RE
BAPTIZED IN THE NAME OF THE
00:53:08.88\00:53:10.89
FATHER, SON, AND HOLY SPIRIT,
BECAUSE THEY DON'T BELIEVE IN
00:53:10.89\00:53:13.02
THE TRINITY AND THEY SAY IF YOU
DO THAT, IT'S A CORRUPT BAPTISM,
00:53:13.02\00:53:17.13
BECAUSE IF YOU GO TO ACTS IT
SAYS, 'BAPTIZE IN THE NAME OF
00:53:17.13\00:53:20.03
THE LORD, JESUS.' 'BAPTIZE
IN THE NAME OF THE LORD.' BUT I
00:53:20.03\00:53:24.97
THINK YOU'VE GOT
YOUR BASES COVERED.
00:53:24.97\00:53:26.47
YOU KNOW, WHAT WE FREQUENTLY DO
HERE IS WE SAY, 'WE BAPTIZE YOU
00:53:26.47\00:53:28.90
IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER,
IN THE NAME OF HIS SON JESUS
00:53:28.90\00:53:30.71
CHRIST, IN THE NAME OF THE
HOLY SPIRIT.' COVER IT ALL.
00:53:30.71\00:53:34.31
BUT THE STATEMENT HERE IN
MATTHEW IS VALID AND THAT'S WHAT
00:53:34.31\00:53:39.55
WE FOLLOW. IT'S
CERTAINLY NOT WRONG TO
00:53:39.55\00:53:41.68
BAPTIZE IN THE NAME OF THE LORD
JESUS, BUT WE MAY AS WELL COVER
00:53:41.68\00:53:44.09
ALL - THE NAME OF THE
FATHER, SON, AND HOLY SPIRIT.
00:53:44.09\00:53:47.79
AND AFTER BAPTISM,
TEACHING'S DONE, RIGHT?
00:53:47.79\00:53:51.23
NO MORE TEACHING AFTER
BAPTISM? YOU NOTICE IT SAYS
00:53:51.23\00:53:54.46
TEACHING ALSO,
AFTERWARDS. TEACHING THEM WHAT?
00:53:54.46\00:53:56.56
TEACHING THEM TO
OBSERVE SOME THINGS?
00:53:56.56\00:53:58.93
>>ALL. >>ALL THINGS.
00:53:58.93\00:54:00.50
>>TEACHING THEM TO OBSERVE -
HOW MUCH OF THE GOSPEL ARE WE
00:54:00.50\00:54:02.30
SUPPOSED TO TEACH? >>ALL.
00:54:02.30\00:54:04.77
>>PAUL SAYS, 'I'VE NOT NEGLECTED
TO DECLARE UNTO YOU ALL OF THE
00:54:04.77\00:54:08.31
ORACLES OF GOD.
TEACHING ALL THINGS THAT I'VE
00:54:08.31\00:54:12.35
COMMANDED YOU.' HOW
MANY COMMANDMENTS ARE WE
00:54:12.35\00:54:14.08
SUPPOSED TO TEACH?
ALL THE COMMANDMENTS.
00:54:14.08\00:54:17.62
'AND LO, I AM
WITH YOU' - HOW OFTEN?
00:54:17.62\00:54:19.65
>>ALWAYS. >>ALWAYS.
00:54:19.65\00:54:20.99
HE'S GOT ALL AUTHORITY.
WE'RE TO GO INTO ALL THE WORLD.
00:54:20.99\00:54:24.73
WE'RE TO TEACH ALL THINGS.
AND HE SAYS, 'I'M WITH YOU
00:54:24.73\00:54:27.76
ALWAYS.' ISN'T THAT GREAT?
'EVEN TO THE END OF THE WORLD
00:54:27.76\00:54:32.50
I'M WITH YOU RIGHT TO THE END.'
EVEN THOUGH YOU DON'T FEEL IT
00:54:32.50\00:54:34.67
AND YOU MAY NOT ALWAYS SENSE IT,
HE SAYS, 'I'M THERE WITH YOU.'
00:54:34.67\00:54:37.44
THAT'S GOOD NEWS.
CAN YOU SAY 'AMEN'?
00:54:37.44\00:54:39.07
>>AMEN. >>HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT?
00:54:39.07\00:54:40.31
WE GOT THROUGH THE
LESSON. PRAISE THE LORD.
00:54:40.31\00:54:42.84
AND I'VE GOT A MINUTE TO SPARE
TO TELL OUR FRIENDS ONE MORE
00:54:42.84\00:54:44.78
TIME ABOUT THE FREE OFFER.
IT'S CALLED - IF YOU SEND IN,
