Speaker 1: that should be a really good episode. So I'm looking
Speaker 1: forward to that. But anyways, yes, thank you guys so
Speaker 1: much for joining me. And everything's been going pretty good
Speaker 1: in my life, pretty steady, got a lot of stuff.
Speaker 1: I just actually got sponsors now, like I got ads
Speaker 1: on my show. Like man, it I've been doing this
Speaker 1: for four years, never had ads. Hopped on one show
Speaker 1: with the Nepheline Death Squad and they broke everything down
Speaker 1: for me and said, hey, this is what you have
Speaker 1: to do to get ads, and you know what you should.
Speaker 1: You should definitely switch to that. And I know it sounds,
Speaker 1: uh to you guys as listeners, it's probably like, oh, ads,
Speaker 1: that sucks, you know, like you probably don't like it.
Speaker 1: But for me, it's been a long time since i've
Speaker 1: you know, I've been doing shows. It's been about four years.
Speaker 1: And uh, the only the only company that has paid
Speaker 1: me was Spotify used to pay me before. And it's
Speaker 1: crazy because I have music on Spotify and they pay
Speaker 1: me for my music, you know, but they'd never they
Speaker 1: didn't pay me for my podcast. They only paid me
Speaker 1: one year and that was like basically I would I
Speaker 1: would have one ad on there, and the ad that
Speaker 1: they let me do was like, do you want to
Speaker 1: start a podcast? It was like I was doing it
Speaker 1: ad for Spotify and it was like every episode was
Speaker 1: just one ad. So it's pretty funny, you know, but
Speaker 1: you know, this is just part of the journey and
Speaker 1: learning and stuff like that. And finally I got my
Speaker 1: My show is being distributed by a company called spreaker
Speaker 1: now and Spreakers so they're super cool. They they distribute
Speaker 1: to all the same people and they also push your podcast.
Speaker 1: Spotify was like, dude, I had like a lot of views,
Speaker 1: a lot of views, a lot of you is going
Speaker 1: for a long time, and then you know, it just
Speaker 1: they just slowly started dropping off. You know. I'm kind
Speaker 1: of swimming up here without a paddle. Though. It's kind
Speaker 1: of my fault because my show is Christian and conspiracy
Speaker 1: and what companies want to push both of those probably
Speaker 1: not any of them. So you know, I think it's
Speaker 1: hard enough just to have a Christian podcast, like could
Speaker 1: conspiracy has but to add Christianity into it. Oh, they
Speaker 1: don't like that at all. Right, So yeah, but you
Speaker 1: know what, I'm going to continue pushing and pushing and
Speaker 1: pushing and you know, just spreading God's word. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's what I was born for. You know. Let's see,
Speaker 1: let's go to Luke chapter twenty two. That's what we're
Speaker 1: going to be starting. And I just want to say,
Speaker 1: like like I always do, I appreciate everybody that listens
Speaker 1: to this show. It really you know, from the people
Speaker 1: who listen to my Josh Money Christian conspiracy podcast, everybody
Speaker 1: listens to this show. I thoroughly enjoy teaching the Bible,
Speaker 1: and I thoroughly enjoy teaching it to you guys. So
Speaker 1: you guys and girls, you know, just in case I
Speaker 1: out there, you know, I don't want to offend anybody.
Speaker 1: I mean when I say you guys, I mean everybody.
Speaker 1: But you know what, you guys and girls, I really
Speaker 1: appreciate the opportunity to be able to teach you guys.
Speaker 1: So we're going to be in Luke chapter twenty two.
Speaker 1: So I just want to go ahead and pull up
Speaker 1: my notes for that. I got that, now, I got
Speaker 1: these going take a little simp of water before we
Speaker 1: get going here. Perfect, all right, So this is gonna
Speaker 1: be the plot to kill Jesus. Before we get into that, first,
Speaker 1: I want to go over what was going on during
Speaker 1: this time. The feast of unlevin Bread and Passover happened
Speaker 1: right after each other, so they just called it Passover.
Speaker 1: They celebrated both at the same time, okay. In the Bible,
Speaker 1: Passover or passak and Hebrew commemorates the exodus of the
Speaker 1: Israelites from slavery in Egypt and marks God's miraculous liberation
Speaker 1: of his people and is a cornerstone about Jewish and
Speaker 1: Christian traditions. The story is first described in the Old Testament,
Speaker 1: specifically in Exodus twelve, where God instructed the Israelites to
Speaker 1: mark their doorpost with the blood of a sacrifice. Lamb,
Speaker 1: what does that remind you of? Well, when I read
Speaker 1: Exodus twelve to you guys, and then I also kind
Speaker 1: of break it down for you, you'll see exactly what's
Speaker 1: going on, so that the Angel would pass over their
Speaker 1: homes during the tenth plague. This act of protection and
Speaker 1: deliverance forms the basis of the Passover holiday, which is
Speaker 1: celebrated annually to remember and reenact the pivotal event. Okay,
Speaker 1: So I just wanted to explain that to you first,
Speaker 1: because Passover was going you know. Chapter seven it says
Speaker 1: Jesus and his disciples prepared to passover. Right, So I
Speaker 1: want to go over this for you and give you
Speaker 1: some context before we get into it. Right, So let
Speaker 1: me go ahead and read Exodus twelve, verses one through thirty.
Speaker 1: Now the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron in the
Speaker 1: land of Egypt, saying, this month shall be your beginning
Speaker 1: of months. It shall be the first month of the year.
Speaker 1: To you speak to all the congregation of Israel. On
Speaker 1: the tenth of this month, every man shall take for
Speaker 1: himself a lamb according to the house of his father,
Speaker 1: a lamb for a household, And if the household is
Speaker 1: too small through the lamb, let him and his neighbor
Speaker 1: next to his house take it according to the number
Speaker 1: of persons, according to each man's need. You shall make
Speaker 1: your count for the lamb. Your lamb shall be without blemish,
Speaker 1: a male of the first year. You may take it
Speaker 1: from the sheep or from the goats. Now you shall
Speaker 1: keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month.
Speaker 1: Then the whole assembly of the Congregation of Viduals shall
Speaker 1: kill it at twilight, and they shall take some of
Speaker 1: the blood and put it on the two doorposts and
Speaker 1: on the lintel of the houses where they eat it.
Speaker 1: Then they shall eat the flesh on that night, roast
Speaker 1: it in fire with unleavened bread and with bitter herbs.
Speaker 1: They shall eat it. Unleaven bread is leven is a
Speaker 1: sin right, so unleaven bread would be what they eat here.
Speaker 1: Do not eat it raw nor boiled at all with water.
Speaker 1: Not roast it in fire. It's head, with its legs
Speaker 1: and its intels. You shall let none of it remain
Speaker 1: until morning. And what remains of it until morning you
Speaker 1: shall burn with fire. And thus you shall eat it
Speaker 1: with a belt on your waist, your sandals on your feet,
Speaker 1: and your staff in your hand. You shall eat it.
Speaker 1: And hey, it is the Lord's passover. Sorry, let me
Speaker 1: turn that down. You shall eat it. I am so sorry.
Speaker 1: I lost my spot here. Do not eat it raw
Speaker 1: or boiled. Okay, it says I'm gonna continue. Its legs,
Speaker 1: you shall let it none of it remain until the morning.
Speaker 1: And what remains until the morning you shall burn with fire,
Speaker 1: and thus you shall eat it with a belt on
Speaker 1: your waist, and your sandals on your feet, your staff
Speaker 1: in your hands. So you shall eat it in haste.
Speaker 1: It is the Lord's passover, for I will pass through
Speaker 1: the land of Egypt on that night and will strike
Speaker 1: all the first born in the land of Egypt, both
Speaker 1: man and beast, and against all the gods of Egypt.
Speaker 1: I will execute judgment. I am the Lord. Now the
Speaker 1: blood shall be a sign for you on the house
Speaker 1: where you are, And when I see the blood, I
Speaker 1: will pass over you, and the plague shall not be
Speaker 1: on you to destroy you. When I strike the land
Speaker 1: of Egypt. So this day shall be you shall be
Speaker 1: to you a memorial, and you shall keep it as
Speaker 1: a feast to the Lord throughout your generations. You shall
Speaker 1: keep it as a feast. By an everlasting ordinance, seven days,
Speaker 1: you shall eat on leven bread. On the first day,
Speaker 1: you shall remove leven from your houses. For whoever eats
Speaker 1: leven bread from the first day until the seventh day,
Speaker 1: that person shall be cut off from Israel. On that
Speaker 1: day there shall be a holy convocation. And on the
Speaker 1: seventh day there shall be a holy convocation for you,
Speaker 1: no matter of the work you shall be done, no
Speaker 1: matter the work that shall be done on them, But
Speaker 1: that which must you must eat, only may be prepared
Speaker 1: for you. You shall observe the feast of unloved bread
Speaker 1: on the same day I shall have brought you to
Speaker 1: armies out of the land of Egypt. Therefore you shall
Speaker 1: observe this day throughout your generations on an everlasting ordinance.
Speaker 1: And the first month of the fourteenth day of the month,
Speaker 1: that evening you shall eat on leven bread until the
Speaker 1: twenty first day of the month, and evening for seven
Speaker 1: days no eleven breads shall be found in your houses. Okay,
Speaker 1: you get the point. I don't need to read the
Speaker 1: whole entire thing because the main points were actually already discussed. Plus,
Speaker 1: this is review and hopefully you've been following along ever
Speaker 1: since I've been reading since Exodus on Sunday Service. Right,
Speaker 1: So let's go ahead and see how this all connects
Speaker 1: ways to connect passover to what Jesus did on the Cross. Okay, So,
Speaker 1: first off, we are slaves to sin, just like the
Speaker 1: Israelites were slaves in Egypt. Second off, Pharaoh is a
Speaker 1: picture of Satan. The adversary that wants to keep us
Speaker 1: in slavery. But see Satan wants us to keep us
Speaker 1: in slavery. To sin, Pharaoh wanted to keep the Israelites
Speaker 1: in slavery. Egypt is represented of the world, all right,
Speaker 1: Egypt is represented of the world over. Lamb is a
Speaker 1: pick up Jesus, you show the maschiok right, So the
Speaker 1: lamb is a picture of Jesus. You shoa the maschioc right,
Speaker 1: Jesus to Christ. The blood on the wood door post
Speaker 1: is a picture of the cross. The Israelites were told
Speaker 1: to stay indoors. That is a picture of faith and
Speaker 1: sacrifice and then death passing over. We are saved from
Speaker 1: the second death by putting our faith in Jesus, okay,
Speaker 1: our faith in God. So it's a beautiful illustration of
Speaker 1: our salvation. Okay, But what else did they have to do? WHOA?
Speaker 1: They had to obey God's word. Oh yeah, that's very important,
Speaker 1: isn't it. They had to obey God's word. God gave
Speaker 1: him instructions and they obeyed it. So that's also something
Speaker 1: that we should also be putting in our in our discipleship,
Speaker 1: obedience to God. Right. So passover is a significant event
Speaker 1: in both. Oh yeah, we talked about that already, understanding
Speaker 1: the emphasise fulfillment, the sacrifice of Jesus Christian to Passover
Speaker 1: for shadowing Christ's death the resurrection, where he the Lamb
Speaker 1: of God was sacrificed to redeem humanity from sin. We
Speaker 1: kind of already went over that. Here's a more detailed
Speaker 1: look at the connection redemption deliverance. Passover celebrates the Ageite's
Speaker 1: liberation from slavery. For Christians, desleberation is seen as a
Speaker 1: type of spiritual liberation from sin that Jesus achieved through
Speaker 1: his sacrifice. I talked about how the lamb connects to
Speaker 1: Jesus to Passover, lamb whose blood was smeared on the
Speaker 1: door posts symbolized the protection and deliverance Christian Christians identified
Speaker 1: Jesus as the Lamb of God whose blood atoned for
Speaker 1: the sins of the world. The Last Supper, the Last Supper,
Speaker 1: where Jesus shared a passover meal with his disciples, is
Speaker 1: seen as the beginning of the New Covenant. Jesus himself
Speaker 1: identified the bread and the wine, this body and blood
Speaker 1: for setting the sacrifice to come, which we're going to
Speaker 1: go over in a few minutes. Here the fulfillment of prophecy.
Speaker 1: The timing of Jesus. Jesus crucifixion coincides with the Passover,
Speaker 1: fulfilling the Old Testament prophecies about the Messiah. Continuing significance,
Speaker 1: Christians today continue to remember and celebrate the significance of
Speaker 1: Passover and their understanding of salvation and their relationship with
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. And I put on the bottom I made
Speaker 1: sure you guys understood this. They also had to be
Speaker 1: obedient to God's word and instruction because if they did
Speaker 1: everything else but put the blood on the door, what
Speaker 1: would happen. They would end up being their firstborn would
Speaker 1: end up being killed, right, because they did all the
Speaker 1: other stuff but didn't do that. So they had to
Speaker 1: be faithful. They had they had to have faith, and
Speaker 1: they also had to put the blood on the door posts.
Speaker 1: They didn't go and run and take off, because wouldn't
Speaker 1: you want to get out of there? I mean you
Speaker 1: you'd probably be pretty scared if you know in that
Speaker 1: that was about to happen. But no, they had faith.
Speaker 1: They put the blood on the door post. They did
Speaker 1: exactly like God said. But they obeyed God's word, which
Speaker 1: is very important. Here's another verse real quick before we
Speaker 1: get it, and you know what this is. This is
Speaker 1: nice because I can go over all this, you know,
Speaker 1: because we have two hours. Okay, our study is not
Speaker 1: like condensed to forty five minutes like pastors have our
Speaker 1: studies two hours, so we can go dense, right, So
Speaker 1: that's what I like. So here's what Paul says in
Speaker 1: one Corinthians five, verses seven through eight. Therefore, purge out
Speaker 1: of the old eleven, that you may be a new lump,
Speaker 1: since you truly are unlevened. For indeed, Christ our passover
Speaker 1: was sacrifice for us. Therefore, let us keep the feast
Speaker 1: not with the old leven, nor with the leaven of
Speaker 1: malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity
Speaker 1: and truth. You see, I was using these metaphors in there.
Speaker 1: I love it. Uh. One Corinthians fifteen, verses one through
Speaker 1: four is the gospel, so we will this was on
Speaker 1: the cross who was preparing for second soulm Okay, So
Speaker 1: let's go ahead and continue. I have my notes pulled
Speaker 1: up and I am ready to start reading. Let's go.
Speaker 1: So we have Luke twenty two, verse one, the plot
Speaker 1: to kill Jesus. Now, the feast of unlevened bread drew near,
Speaker 1: which is called Passover, So that's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: They mixed the unleven bread, the feast of unleven bread
Speaker 1: and Passover, and the chief priest and the scribes sought
Speaker 1: how they might kill him, for they feared the people.
Speaker 1: Then Satan entered Judas surnamed Escariot, who was numbered among
Speaker 1: the twelve. So he went his way and conferred with
Speaker 1: the chief priest and captains how we might betray him
Speaker 1: to them. And they were glad and agreed to give
Speaker 1: him money. So he promised and sought opportunity to betray
Speaker 1: him to them. In the sense of the multitude. Okay,
Speaker 1: so so we have we have, we have Judas. We
Speaker 1: haven't we have Satan entering Judas. Okay, First of all,
Speaker 1: Satan is not allowed to just enter whoever he wants, right,
Speaker 1: I mean if he could, then we would we would
Speaker 1: we would all be like there would be like crazy
Speaker 1: stuff happening all the time, right because he would enter
Speaker 1: one person, that person would probably go and just uh,
Speaker 1: you know, do some craziness. You know, I don't want
Speaker 1: to say, you know who who knows what they would do.
Speaker 1: But uh, even demons, they can't just they can't just
Speaker 1: go into a vessel. They have to be they have
Speaker 1: to be, uh, they have to have permission. Okay, So
Speaker 1: something is going on here. That's there's more to this,
Speaker 1: uh than we know. Right. So uh, let's see if
Speaker 1: there's a Judas was a thief. Yeah, so Judas was
Speaker 1: you know, Satan went into Judas and the so the
Speaker 1: Pharisees were see, the Pharisees were wrapped wrapped up in religion,
Speaker 1: so they didn't even know they were dealing with Satan himself. Right,
Speaker 1: So one thing I wanted to I put in my
Speaker 1: notes is they they didn't even know that the Messiah
Speaker 1: was right in front of their face, or that God
Speaker 1: in the flesh was right in front of their face.
Speaker 1: And they also couldn't see they were blinded by being
Speaker 1: able to see that Satan, they're dealing with the devil
Speaker 1: uh as he entered Judas. They're not even able to
Speaker 1: see that because because that because they're so blinded and
Speaker 1: wrapped up in their religion that they don't they're not
Speaker 1: even thinking about spiritual battles and not even they're not
Speaker 1: able to see the Messiah or the true sacrificial lamb
Speaker 1: right in front of their face, the true Word of God.
Speaker 1: They acted like they knew that. The Law. They fact
Speaker 1: like they knew the Torah. They knew the Bible. They
Speaker 1: knew all this stuff or not the Bible. They knew
Speaker 1: the Torah so much. And the scribes think they knew
Speaker 1: the law, and they thought they knew the Old Testament
Speaker 1: so well. But the Word of God, they wouldn't even
Speaker 1: recognize it if it was right in front of their face.
Speaker 1: So what a shame. So let's talk a little bit
Speaker 1: about Judas. Okay, So Judas was full of greed. You
Speaker 1: could see it when Mary broke up in the incense.
Speaker 1: Are not the incense? I'm sorry. Let's read about it
Speaker 1: real quick. And it's called the spikenard. So let's read
Speaker 1: about Judas real quick. He was a thief, right. So
Speaker 1: in John twelve, verses one through six, as then, six
Speaker 1: days before passover, Jesus came to Bethany when Lazarus was
Speaker 1: who had been dead, whom he had raised from the dead.
Speaker 1: There they made him a supper, and Martha served. But
Speaker 1: Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table
Speaker 1: with him. Then Mary took Mary as actually Mark's mother,
Speaker 1: took a pound of very costly oil of spikenard, anointed
Speaker 1: the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair,
Speaker 1: and the house was filled with fragrance of the oil.
Speaker 1: But one of his disciples, Judas is Scariot, Simon's son,
Speaker 1: who would betray him, said why was this fragrant oil
Speaker 1: not sold for three hundred dinari and given to the poor. This,
Speaker 1: he said, not because he cared for the poor, but
Speaker 1: because he was a thief and had the money box,
Speaker 1: and he used to take what was put in it. Okay,
Speaker 1: so you see exactly where Judas's heart is and exactly
Speaker 1: what he was doing. He was thieving. He cared more
Speaker 1: about the money or taking the money then Jesus. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know this woman doing this for Jesus. You know
Speaker 1: he actually like and you see how he tried to
Speaker 1: lie and say, oh, yeah, what's up with the money
Speaker 1: for the poor. And and to be honest, this spikenard
Speaker 1: is actually three hundred days worth of labor, because the
Speaker 1: dinari is one day wages one one day's wage, so
Speaker 1: it is a lot of money, and it was very expensive.
Speaker 1: But Jesus knows that he's not going to be with them,
Speaker 1: and that he knows her heart. And she loved Jesus right,
Speaker 1: She loved him, and she she cared for him. She
Speaker 1: cared about putting this oil and annoying his feet. And
Speaker 1: it also says that she annoyed his head on another
Speaker 1: I think I don't know if it's in Mark or Matthew,
Speaker 1: but that actually is the same thing that happened to
Speaker 1: David before he became king. You have to annoy with oil, Saul,
Speaker 1: you have to annoy with oil. Jesus is the king
Speaker 1: of kings, you see. So Judas is too blind to
Speaker 1: be able to see that. What else do we have.
Speaker 1: We have Jesus knowing that he was going to betray him,
Speaker 1: because listen to this in John six sixty three through
Speaker 1: sixty four. It is the spirit who gives life. The
Speaker 1: flesh prophets nothing. The words that I speak to you
Speaker 1: are spirit, and they are life. But there are some
Speaker 1: of you who do not believe. For Jesus knew from
Speaker 1: the beginning who they were, who were and who did
Speaker 1: not believe, and who would betray him. Jesus knew from
Speaker 1: the very beginning. Right Also in John thirteen ten through eleven.
Speaker 1: Jesus said to him who is Bathe who is bathe
Speaker 1: needs only to wash his feet. He who is bathed
Speaker 1: needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean.
Speaker 1: And you are clean, but not all of you, for
Speaker 1: he knew who would betray him. Therefore he said you
Speaker 1: are not clean. So he already knew. So let's go
Speaker 1: ahead and continue to read. So we have Satan entering Judas.
Speaker 1: That is kind of a powerful thing because I've seen
Speaker 1: people in the Bible, like in the New Testament, where
Speaker 1: a demon is possessing a body, but I have never
Speaker 1: seen in the Bible besides right here where Satan enters
Speaker 1: a human body. Think about that. I'm surprised that all
Speaker 1: he did was this. I'm surprised he didn't like go
Speaker 1: on a rampage at killing spree. So there must have
Speaker 1: been some rules to this, you know, because if Satan
Speaker 1: is very powerful, right, I mean, there's the Angel of
Speaker 1: the Lord came and killed one hundred and eighty thousand
Speaker 1: men and one night. Let's let's go ahead and continue.
Speaker 1: Jesus and his disciples prepare the passover. Then came the
Speaker 1: day of unleavened bread. Then the Passover must be killed.
Speaker 1: When the Passover must be killed, then came the day
Speaker 1: of leven unleavened bread, when the Passover must be killed.
Speaker 1: And he set Peter and John, saying, go and prepare
Speaker 1: the Passover for us that we may eat. I think
Speaker 1: it's is this supposed to say the passover Lamb must
Speaker 1: be killed? Why does this say the Passover must be killed?
Speaker 1: Let's see twenty two seven Sacrificed. I don't know why
Speaker 1: it says. I think it's supposed to be the passover
Speaker 1: Lamb must be killed. And you see Peter and John,
Speaker 1: go prepare the Passover for us that we may eat.
Speaker 1: So they said to him, where do you want us
Speaker 1: to What do you want us to prepare? And he
Speaker 1: said to them, behold, when you enter the city, a
Speaker 1: man will meet you carrying a pitch of water. Follow
Speaker 1: him into the house which he enters. Then you shall
Speaker 1: say to the master of the house. The teacher says
Speaker 1: to you, where is the guest room where I may
Speaker 1: eat the Passover with my disciples. Then he will show
Speaker 1: you a large furnished upper room where they there make ready.
Speaker 1: So they went and found it just as he said
Speaker 1: to them, and they prepared the passover. Now, as you're
Speaker 1: reading that, you might think, like, isn't there a bunch
Speaker 1: of people carrying a picture of water? Well, a bunch
Speaker 1: of people wouldn't be carrying a picture of water. A
Speaker 1: bunch of men wouldn't be, but there'd be a lot
Speaker 1: of women. See, women were the only ones that carried
Speaker 1: the picture of water, the water jars. So that's why
Speaker 1: he said that, because you're going to see a man
Speaker 1: carrying the picture of water, which is going to stand
Speaker 1: out and be different than all the other women carrying it.
Speaker 1: So that's exactly how they found this man. It probably
Speaker 1: wasn't hard to see the man with the picture of water. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm going to go to him. So we have that
Speaker 1: the word greatly is turned it and passionately longed. Okay,
Speaker 1: so Jesus institutes, Oh man, I can't just go through
Speaker 1: my notes like that without checking these other ones. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I got two sets of notes now, two phones. All right,
Speaker 1: So let's go over some teaching points for Luke twenty
Speaker 1: two one through six. Describing the chief priests and the
Speaker 1: scribes seeking to kill Jesus and Judas is scariest betrayal.
Speaker 1: This highlights the spiritual warfare and human sinfulness at play.
Speaker 1: Now we're going to go over the Last Supper, so
Speaker 1: I don't really need to go over that yet, because
Speaker 1: it goes over from verse seven all the way through
Speaker 1: twenty three and the event. Yes, So the chief priests
Speaker 1: inscribed seek a way to put Jesus to death, fearing
Speaker 1: the people's reaction. The Greek term seatonus indicates their active
Speaker 1: search for a solution. In Luke twenty two three through six,
Speaker 1: Judas agrees to betray Jesus. Satan enters Jesus as Scariot,
Speaker 1: prompting him to conspire with the chief priest to betray Jesus.
Speaker 1: The Greek word para deny means to hand over or betray,
Speaker 1: so that word betray is para deny. Okay. And then
Speaker 1: we read seven through thirteen. Jesus instructs Peter to John
Speaker 1: to prepare the passover meal. The term hetero musty means
Speaker 1: to make ready or prepare. See, I'm just trying to
Speaker 1: teach you guys Greek on here as well. You see that,
Speaker 1: But I'm just pronouncing him like butchering the names of
Speaker 1: all right, So we got a all right now we're
Speaker 1: going to talk about the Jesus institutes the Last Supper.
Speaker 1: When when the hour had come, he sat down, and
Speaker 1: the twelve apostles with him. Then he said to them,
Speaker 1: with fervent desire, I have desired to eat this passover
Speaker 1: with you before I suffer. For I say to you,
Speaker 1: I will no longer eat of it. I will no
Speaker 1: longer eat of it until it is fulfilled in the
Speaker 1: Kingdom of God. Then he took the cup and gave thanks,
Speaker 1: and said, take this and divide it among yourselves, For
Speaker 1: I say to you, I will not drink of the
Speaker 1: fruit of the vine until the Kingdom of God comes.
Speaker 1: And he took the bread, gave thanks, and broke it
Speaker 1: and gave it to them, saying, this is my body
Speaker 1: which is given for you. This is in remembrance of me. Likewise,
Speaker 1: he also took the cup after supper, saying, this cup
Speaker 1: is the new covenant in my blood, which is shed
Speaker 1: for you. But behold my hand of my betrayers with
Speaker 1: me on the table. And truly the son of Man
Speaker 1: goes as it has been determined, But woe to the
Speaker 1: man whom he is betrayed. Then they begun to question themselves,
Speaker 1: which of them it has or would do this thing?
Speaker 1: Which of them it was? And who would do this thing?
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, let's see. So in fourteen through twenty, Verses
Speaker 1: fourteen through twenty Luke twenty two. Fourteen through twenty, Jesus
Speaker 1: shares the Passover meal with his disciples, instituting the Last Supper.
Speaker 1: The phrase to to poiety means do this in remembrance
Speaker 1: of him, And as far as the teaching points, Jesus
Speaker 1: institute's the Last Supper symbolized a new covenant in his blood.
Speaker 1: This act fulfills old Testament prophecy, established a new way
Speaker 1: for believers to remember his sacrifice. So communion right, so
Speaker 1: the disciples are used used to celebrating Passover, but it
Speaker 1: turns into what he would call the Last Supper, and
Speaker 1: Jesus is revealing what the whole Passover tradition and the
Speaker 1: whole passover is about, and showing that the passover points
Speaker 1: to him. Okay, and that probably that probably is something
Speaker 1: they probably didn't get all the way, but I thought
Speaker 1: it's very interesting. And then we have communion here. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys take communion at your
Speaker 1: local church or if you take communion at your house
Speaker 1: or what you guys do with that. But it's something
Speaker 1: that I think my church would do. I think once
Speaker 1: a month is what Calvary Chapel does it. Once a
Speaker 1: month they do communion. And they don't believe it's literally
Speaker 1: Jesus's literal blood, or that it's his literal flesh. Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't believe like that. They don't believe like that. Right,
Speaker 1: So let's go ahead and go over. Let's go over
Speaker 1: Verse Peter two, verse twenty four. It says, who himself
Speaker 1: bore our sins in his own body on the tree,
Speaker 1: that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness,
Speaker 1: by whose stripes they were healed, Okay. And also in
Speaker 1: Hebrews nine, verses eleven through twelve, it says, when Christ
Speaker 1: appeared as a high priest of the good things that
Speaker 1: have come, even though the greater and more perfect tent
Speaker 1: not made with hands, that is not of this creation,
Speaker 1: he entered once for all into the holy places, not
Speaker 1: by means of the blood of goats and calfs, but
Speaker 1: by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption.
Speaker 1: And then Jesus is talking about the New Covenant right
Speaker 1: here in Luke twenty two, verse twenty. I've gone over
Speaker 1: this before. Let's go over it again. Jeremiah thirty one
Speaker 1: through thirty four. Okay, Jeremiah thirty one through thirty four,
Speaker 1: let's read it. This is the Old Testament. This is
Speaker 1: why it's so important to read the Old Testament and
Speaker 1: the New Testament. That's why I really enjoy doing that
Speaker 1: with you guys, and I think it's hopefully helping you
Speaker 1: guys out. If it is helping you out, comment below
Speaker 1: on Spotify and tell me yes, this is really helping
Speaker 1: me out. Or you can say I only enjoy New Testament,
Speaker 1: or you can say I enjoy the old and the new,
Speaker 1: or I only enjoy the old, I don't enjoy the new.
Speaker 1: Whatever you want to say, let me know hopefully you
Speaker 1: enjoy all of it. Look at this, Jeremiah thirty one
Speaker 1: thirty one. Is that what we're gonna do? Thirty one? Yep,
Speaker 1: thirty one, thirty one. Behold the days are coming, says
Speaker 1: the Lord, when I we'll make a new covenant. And
Speaker 1: remember Jeremiah is prophet, right, He's a prophet. He's speaking
Speaker 1: through Jeremiah. Behold days. Know the Lord is actually speaking
Speaker 1: it says. Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord,
Speaker 1: when I will make a new covenant with the House
Speaker 1: of Israel and with the House of Judah. Not according
Speaker 1: to the covenant that I made with their fathers in
Speaker 1: the day that I took them by the hand to
Speaker 1: lead them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant
Speaker 1: which they broke though I was a husband to them,
Speaker 1: says the Lord. But this is a new This is
Speaker 1: a covenant that I will make with the House of
Speaker 1: Israel after those days, since the Lord, says the Lord,
Speaker 1: I will put my law in their minds and write
Speaker 1: it on their hearts. And I will be there God,
Speaker 1: and I will be their God, and they shall be
Speaker 1: my people. No more shall every man teach his neighbor,
Speaker 1: and every man his brother, saying, know the Lord, For
Speaker 1: they all shall know me, from the least of them
Speaker 1: to the greatest of them, says the Lord. For I
Speaker 1: will forgive their iniquity and their sin, and I will
Speaker 1: remember no more. So I believe this is a p
Speaker 1: about the Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit comes upon you,
Speaker 1: then you are able to have everything in your heart right.
Speaker 1: You're able to know right from wrong. I mean, I
Speaker 1: literally before I got saved. Before I was like reading
Speaker 1: the Bible. Before I was like, I was doing so
Speaker 1: many things wrong, so many things wrong, just so I
Speaker 1: could just give you a whole list of things I
Speaker 1: was doing wrong. And then slowly that list started getting
Speaker 1: smaller and smaller and smaller. Why because the Holy Spirit
Speaker 1: was working on my life. God was It was like
Speaker 1: the potter. He was like, you know, he was just
Speaker 1: shaping me to where I needed to be. And obviously
Speaker 1: I was rough around the edges. So when he was
Speaker 1: doing that pottery, he was probably like like these but
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know, God does yourself perfect. But
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I was a little rough around the
Speaker 1: edges for a long time there. But slowly every single
Speaker 1: chain was broken. All right, So this is what I
Speaker 1: I believe this passage is saying. Now. One thing that
Speaker 1: I that I would probably would would probably be in contention,
Speaker 1: which some people would probably contend, is it sounds like
Speaker 1: he's speaking to the children of Israel, right, not Israel.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry that the House of Israel, so the twelve
Speaker 1: tribes and with the House of Judah. It sounds like
Speaker 1: but from everything I studied, it's explaining when a believe
Speaker 1: it receives the Holy Spirit. He knows God intimately. And
Speaker 1: the Hebrew is actually the same as a is. In
Speaker 1: the Hebrew, that word intimately is like the same as
Speaker 1: a a man knowing a woman sexually. But there is
Speaker 1: no sexual connotation here, obviously, but it does mean to
Speaker 1: intimately know God like like to intimately know Him is something. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's something a teacher or preacher or myself or whatever.
Speaker 1: We we cannot make you feel, but the Holy Spirit can.
Speaker 1: He can get you intimately with God. Right, no bad
Speaker 1: connotation there either, just what the Hebrew means. It's like
Speaker 1: knowing somebody like intimately. Right, So it's like it's really
Speaker 1: like becoming one, you know, almost for I received from
Speaker 1: the Lord that I will also delivered. Let's see, we
Speaker 1: need to remember that Jesus differs on the cross, Okay,
Speaker 1: so that will be connected to that verse, and let's
Speaker 1: continue here Luke twenty two, verse twenty four. Now there
Speaker 1: was also a dispute among them as to which one
Speaker 1: of them to be considered the greatest. So we went
Speaker 1: from somebody being a betrayer of Jesus, which should matter
Speaker 1: to them, to who's the greatest. It's crazy, how it's
Speaker 1: just switched to that, right, They went from who's going
Speaker 1: to betray Jesus to who's the greatest. So let's let's
Speaker 1: see here it looks like in Mark. We get a
Speaker 1: little better picture real quick before we start twenty two Luke,
Speaker 1: twenty two, twenty four. Let me just read Mark nine
Speaker 1: thirty three through thirty four. It will kind of give
Speaker 1: you kind of how they how this this thing switched.
Speaker 1: And they came to Capernaium when we when when he
Speaker 1: was at the house, he asked them what were you
Speaker 1: discussing on the way, but they kept silent. On the
Speaker 1: way they had argued with one another about who is
Speaker 1: the greatest. So when they were on their way to
Speaker 1: the past or the Last Supper, on the way, they
Speaker 1: were arguing about who's the greatest. One thing we need
Speaker 1: to understand is these disciples thought that Jesus was going
Speaker 1: to have a kingdom here on earth, like an earthly kingdom.
Speaker 1: That's why they're wondering who's going to sit at his
Speaker 1: right hand, his left hand, or whatever. They're not understanding
Speaker 1: that Jesus is talking about his kingdom in heaven, not
Speaker 1: his kingdom here on earth. Okay, now, Jesus is going
Speaker 1: to come and bring a kingdom to this earth. Has
Speaker 1: he brought the kingdom yet? I don't know. Some people
Speaker 1: believe that, you know, Jesus already came, this is Satan's
Speaker 1: Little season. Some people believe that Jesus is still coming
Speaker 1: in the future. Some people are pretice. I mean, there's
Speaker 1: just a whole bunch of different eschatology. But as far
Speaker 1: as what I believe, I don't believe that Jesus has
Speaker 1: came back yet, and there hasn't been a millennial reign yet.
Speaker 1: That's what I believe. That's at all the evidence that
Speaker 1: I have read and everything, I don't believe that's happened yet.
Speaker 1: I believe that the temptation has to be that you
Speaker 1: knew he came back, then then the devil gets released,
Speaker 1: and then he comes and tempts you, and you knew
Speaker 1: that Jesus came back, you knew that he's real, but
Speaker 1: you still chose to go with the devil. But that's
Speaker 1: just my thought. I will have a show on June
Speaker 1: twenty fourth with Gary Wayne and Ed Maybury where I
Speaker 1: will ask him a ton of questions about Satan's Little Season,
Speaker 1: and those two are going to try to do their
Speaker 1: very best to explain what they feel about it, right,
Speaker 1: and then I'll tell them what I feel. And I'm
Speaker 1: going to study a lot of different things about Satan's
Speaker 1: little season, so I make sure that I'm prepared with
Speaker 1: some really good questions. So all right, so we have that.
Speaker 1: Sorry I'm jumping off track, but kind of excited tonight.
Speaker 1: I'm happy because I'm just feeling the study. I love it.
Speaker 1: Luke twenty two, verse twenty five. And he said to them,
Speaker 1: the kings of the gentiles exercise lords lordship over them,
Speaker 1: and those who exercise authority over them are called benefactors.
Speaker 1: So a benefactor a benefactor in English, obviously, what it
Speaker 1: means is is somebody that is financial response financially responsible
Speaker 1: for somebody. But a benefactor in the Greek is actually
Speaker 1: it means someone that bestows gifts gifts on someone to
Speaker 1: earn their favor. So they bestow gifts on someone to
Speaker 1: earn their favor. So what it says is the king
Speaker 1: of the gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those who
Speaker 1: exercise authority over them are called benefactors. They give gifts
Speaker 1: to earn favor, right, so they give like a king
Speaker 1: will give like, you know, some sheep or a party,
Speaker 1: or grapes or bananas, whatever the heck they get they
Speaker 1: could get, you know, probably not bananas. I guess back
Speaker 1: then only the kings were even able to eat a banana.
Speaker 1: So anyways, so that's what that word means, right there.
Speaker 1: So let's go to Luke twenty two, verse twenty six.
Speaker 1: But not so among you. On the contrary, he who
Speaker 1: is greatest among you, let him be as the younger.
Speaker 1: And he who governs governs as he who serves. For
Speaker 1: who is greater he who sits at the table, or
Speaker 1: he who serves. It is not he who sits at
Speaker 1: the table. Yet I am among you as one who serves. Okay,
Speaker 1: So Jesus teaches about true greatness and leadership here, emphasizing
Speaker 1: the leadership in his kingdom is marked by servanthood and
Speaker 1: not by power. Right, so Jesus takes the form of
Speaker 1: a servant, all right, and right here. In Philippians two,
Speaker 1: verses five through seven, it says, have this mind among yourselves,
Speaker 1: which is yours in Christ. Jesus, who though he was
Speaker 1: in the form of God, did not count a quality
Speaker 1: with God a thing to be grassed but emptied himself
Speaker 1: by taking the form of a servant, being born in
Speaker 1: the likeness of men. That was Philippians two, verses five
Speaker 1: through seven. You see, he emptied himself by taking the
Speaker 1: form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.
Speaker 1: What was he before a man? That's just just hearing that.
Speaker 1: It's just amazing that that is the form that Jesus
Speaker 1: chose to come. God came in the flesh as a
Speaker 1: servant to teach us. Right, I think that's very fascinating.
Speaker 1: And we're going to go to let me see disciples disputes.
Speaker 1: So the disciples argue about who among them is greatest.
Speaker 1: Jesus teaches them about true greatness through service, using the
Speaker 1: Greek diaconon meaning serving, So diaconon diaconon I don't even
Speaker 1: know if I'm saying it pronouncing it correctly, but it's okay,
Speaker 1: dia canon meaning serving Luke twenty two, verse twenty eight.
Speaker 1: But you are those who have continued with me and
Speaker 1: my trials, and I bestow upon you a kingdom, just
Speaker 1: as my father just bestowed one upon me. That you
Speaker 1: may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom,
Speaker 1: and sit on thrones judging the Twelve Tribes of Israel.
Speaker 1: So Jesus was telling them that you may eat and
Speaker 1: drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on
Speaker 1: thrones judging the twelve Tribes of Israel. Wow, I don't
Speaker 1: believe that we got that portion down there in the
Speaker 1: other gospels. But I just don't remember that little part
Speaker 1: right there where it says that you may eat and
Speaker 1: drink at my table and my kingdom, and sit on
Speaker 1: thrones judging the Twelve Tribes. I'd have to check, since
Speaker 1: we've already read Matthew and Mark, I don't remember that
Speaker 1: being there. So let's go back up to teaching points.
Speaker 1: See if I have anything here to talk about. We
Speaker 1: got thirty one through thirty four, Jesus predicts. Okay, we're
Speaker 1: going to go ahead and read that now. So this
Speaker 1: is Luke twenty two, verse thirty one. And the Lord
Speaker 1: said Simon, Simon, indeed, Satan has asked for you that
Speaker 1: he may sift you as wheat. But I have prayed
Speaker 1: for you that your faith should not fail. And when
Speaker 1: you're when you have returned to strength, strengthen your brethren.
Speaker 1: But he said to him, Lord, I am ready to
Speaker 1: go with you. Both to prison and to death. Then
Speaker 1: he said, I tell you, Peter, the rooster shall not
Speaker 1: cruel this day before you will deny three times that
Speaker 1: you know me. So I think this is an interesting
Speaker 1: thing that I probably definitely want to talk about, because
Speaker 1: these disciples knew Jesus the Christ is shue with him
Speaker 1: a sheiock personally, and Satan has asked for Peter and
Speaker 1: saying he's gonna sift you like wheat. That's I would
Speaker 1: definitely not want to be in that position. But what
Speaker 1: I would say is that Jesus prayed for you that
Speaker 1: your faith should not fail, and when you have returned
Speaker 1: to me, strengthen your brethren. So so even though Jesus
Speaker 1: knows the outcome, he knows he's going to deny him
Speaker 1: three times. Jesus is God, he knows the future, he
Speaker 1: still says I prayed for you that your faith should
Speaker 1: not fail, and when you have returned to me, strengthened
Speaker 1: your brethren. When you return to me, strengthened your brethren,
Speaker 1: and Peter obviously out of pride. Now Jesus always has
Speaker 1: to kind of like, you know, kind of teach Peter
Speaker 1: what's up. You know, it happens a lot where Peter
Speaker 1: steps up and says something, and Peter sometimes had to say,
Speaker 1: get behind me, Satan. He had to kind of correct
Speaker 1: Peter a lot of times. And this time, you know,
Speaker 1: Peter let the pride get the best of him. And
Speaker 1: also Peter is acting and like, you know, I'm down
Speaker 1: and I'll go to prison, I'll go to death, and
Speaker 1: you know, disappoint you know, it's disappointing to Peter probably,
Speaker 1: but he says then he said, I tell you, Peter,
Speaker 1: the Russa shall not crow this day before you will
Speaker 1: deny me three times that you know me. So Peter's denial,
Speaker 1: we're told and fulfilled. Right, So Jesus predicts Peter's denial
Speaker 1: and verses thirty one through thirty four, and then when
Speaker 1: we get to fifty four through sixty two, it is fulfilled,
Speaker 1: illustrating human weakness and the need for divine grace. Right,
Speaker 1: human weakness, we have it, and we cannot say. And
Speaker 1: if you try to say, I can't believe Peter would
Speaker 1: do this. I would never do this to Jesus. If
Speaker 1: I was there, I would go to I would die.
Speaker 1: I would ride for him. You know, whatever you want
Speaker 1: to say, you're not put in that position. We cannot
Speaker 1: judge Peter because it's just like us trying to judge
Speaker 1: Adam when we're over here sinning all the time, straight hypocrites, right,
Speaker 1: because we're not in the position where someone says you,
Speaker 1: are you gonna worship Jesus or you get your head
Speaker 1: cut off? We're not in that position yet. Are you
Speaker 1: gonna worship Jesus or you gonna get put in jail
Speaker 1: for life? Are you going to bow down to us
Speaker 1: or worship Jesus and then die? Right here, we're not
Speaker 1: put in that position. But if he would have said
Speaker 1: that he worships Jesus and that he and he will
Speaker 1: write from Toronto death when when he is at that
Speaker 1: point where he's asked to either deny or not deny him,
Speaker 1: then he would be put in a position where he
Speaker 1: would probably be hung on across as well and crucify it,
Speaker 1: which is obviously a very scary thing. It's so scary
Speaker 1: that we're gonna read, you know, coming up, what Jesus
Speaker 1: felt about what was going to happen to him. You know,
Speaker 1: they would have made an example out of Peter, and
Speaker 1: Peter knew that, and you know, we can't really blame him.
Speaker 1: We can't really blame him, right because we would probably
Speaker 1: if we were put in that position ourselves. We don't
Speaker 1: know what we would do, you know. We can't say, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: we would do this or we would do that. So
Speaker 1: Jesus warns Peter in a Versus thirty one through thirty four.
Speaker 1: Jesus warns Peter that he will deny him three times
Speaker 1: before the rooster crows. The Greek a parnee means to
Speaker 1: deny or disowned. Okay, so just like you just say
Speaker 1: you know a parent, nise means to deny or disown. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So what I want to kind of emphasize before we
Speaker 1: move on is Jesus tells the disciples to pray to
Speaker 1: not be led into tendation, even though they are literally
Speaker 1: know Jesus personally. This should let us know just because
Speaker 1: we are saved doesn't mean the devil leaves you alone.
Speaker 1: In fact, you are more of an important target when
Speaker 1: you're saved. So when you get saved, people think I
Speaker 1: get saved. I'm good. I'm not gonna get bothered anymore
Speaker 1: with the devil. I'm in the clear. No more temptations,
Speaker 1: no more testing, because I am saved. No that's when
Speaker 1: the battle begins. For those atheists out there that are
Speaker 1: just have been denying God for years, the devil just goes,
Speaker 1: you know what, have a good day. I don't even
Speaker 1: care about you because you're not my all my list.
Speaker 1: I already got you already. You know. The only time
Speaker 1: there'll be a target for the devil is if they
Speaker 1: were like starting to move towards Christianity or maybe having
Speaker 1: someone minister to them. Obviously, then that would be like important.
Speaker 1: But if they're not, if they're just denying God already,
Speaker 1: and even if they're living a good life, the Devil's like, hey, whatever,
Speaker 1: But when you become a Christian, you become a target
Speaker 1: because he wants you to go to Hell right to shield.
Speaker 1: He wants you to not believe in Jesus. So that's
Speaker 1: how you get a target on your back. This is
Speaker 1: even if you know Jesus personally, the devil still try
Speaker 1: to attack. Look what it says, Satan asks for you
Speaker 1: that he may sift you as wheat. Now is Peter
Speaker 1: a disciple of Jesus? Yes? Does Peter know Jesus? Yes?
Speaker 1: Does Peter believe that Jesus is the son of God? Yes?
Speaker 1: So what do we have going on here? The devil's
Speaker 1: still allowed to touch him? Yes, what about job, oh,
Speaker 1: my servant job. When he asked God if he could
Speaker 1: tempt his servant job or actually, God said that he
Speaker 1: could try to attempt to serve a job. Which is
Speaker 1: so such an intense story. I can't wait to get
Speaker 1: the job with you, guys, So let's continue Luke twenty two,
Speaker 1: verse thirty five. And he said to them, when I
Speaker 1: sent you without money bag, knapsack, and sandals, did you
Speaker 1: lack anything? So they said nothing. Then he said to them,
Speaker 1: but now he who has a money bag, let him
Speaker 1: take it, and likeness like likewise a knapsack. And he
Speaker 1: who has no sword, let him sell his garment and
Speaker 1: buy one. For I say to you that this is written,
Speaker 1: this which is written, must still be accomplished in me.
Speaker 1: And he was numbered with the transgressors, for the things
Speaker 1: concerning me have an end. So they said, look, Lord,
Speaker 1: here are two swords. And he said to them it
Speaker 1: is enough. So so right here we have instructions for
Speaker 1: the time of crisis. Jesus advises his disciples to prepare
Speaker 1: for the coming challenges, indicating a shift from previous instructions. Right,
Speaker 1: So he's kind of warning them about what is to come.
Speaker 1: Now the mission has changed a little bit. Now you've
Speaker 1: got to kind of be ready for battle. You know.
Speaker 1: You know, people attacking, so you better be ready. So
Speaker 1: we already talked about Jesus's denial and foretold and fulfilled.
Speaker 1: So let's go ahead and continue here, all right. So
Speaker 1: the prayer in the garden, coming out, he went to
Speaker 1: the Mount of Olives as he was accustomed, and his
Speaker 1: disciples also followed him. When he came to the place,
Speaker 1: he said to them, pray that you may not enter
Speaker 1: into the temptation. See this is the part I was
Speaker 1: talking about. He said, when he comes to the place,
Speaker 1: he said to them, pray that you may not enter
Speaker 1: into temptation. So even though they're with Jesus personally know Jesus,
Speaker 1: he still says for them to pray that they do
Speaker 1: not get let into temptation. So all these Christians out here,
Speaker 1: they might feel like they're untouchable and that they're good
Speaker 1: and they don't need to worry about the devil touching
Speaker 1: them because they're so holy. Understand that these disciples walk
Speaker 1: with God, walk with Jesus dropped everything to walk with God,
Speaker 1: and they were actually literally walking with God and actually
Speaker 1: literally doing miracles with him. And what does Jesus say
Speaker 1: to them? Pray that you may not enter into temptation.
Speaker 1: So what does that say to us? We also need
Speaker 1: to pray that we do not enter into temptation, and
Speaker 1: we also need to pray, and we also need to
Speaker 1: make sure we drop the pride, drop the ego, and
Speaker 1: understand that we're not untouchable, and that the devil is
Speaker 1: like a roaring lion waiting to pounce Luke twenty two,
Speaker 1: verse forty one. And he was withdrawn from them about
Speaker 1: a stone's throw, and he knelt down and prayed, saying, Father,
Speaker 1: if it is your will, take this cup away from me. Nevertheless,
Speaker 1: not my will, but yours be done, which is so powerful.
Speaker 1: So can you imagine knowing your future, knowing what you're
Speaker 1: about to go through, you know, the just the whole
Speaker 1: entire scenario that's about to unfold. Can you imagine? Okay, now,
Speaker 1: Jesus is God. But it says right there in Philippians,
Speaker 1: what was it two verses five through seven that he
Speaker 1: poured out? Where is that at Philippians two verses five
Speaker 1: through seven? Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours
Speaker 1: in Christ. Jesus, who though he was in the form
Speaker 1: of God, did not count quality with God a thing
Speaker 1: to be grasped. He emptied himself by taking the form
Speaker 1: of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.
Speaker 1: So he knew what he was going to go through.
Speaker 1: And he has to feel the pain of a man. Okay,
Speaker 1: he's gonna feel the pain. He's gonna feel the whips,
Speaker 1: he's gonna feel being spit on, being hit, hanging on
Speaker 1: the cross, knowing that he's gonna die from what I
Speaker 1: would say is a broken heart, you know, because he's
Speaker 1: up there three days and it's just everything that he
Speaker 1: is going through, he starts to feel pretty stressed out
Speaker 1: so much that he starts sweating blood. Okay, Then an
Speaker 1: angel appeared to him from heaven, strengthening him, and being
Speaker 1: in agony, he prayed more earnestly. Then his sweat became
Speaker 1: like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.
Speaker 1: I just think that it's fascinating that Jesus prays and
Speaker 1: then an angel appeared to him from heaven. So it
Speaker 1: almost seems that angels are carded messengers and they come
Speaker 1: and you pray and then they deliver the message to God.
Speaker 1: And it looks like the Angel appeared to him from
Speaker 1: heavens to strengthening him. And being in agony, he prayed
Speaker 1: more earnestly. Then his sweat became like great drops of
Speaker 1: blood falling down to the ground. When he rose up
Speaker 1: from prayer and had come out to his disciples, he
Speaker 1: found them sleeping from sorrow. Then he said to them,
Speaker 1: why do you sleep? Rise and pray lest you enter
Speaker 1: into temptation. So sometimes we may think that we're good,
Speaker 1: like sometimes God wants us. I know that, you know,
Speaker 1: obviously God made us to live the way we live
Speaker 1: where we you know, we're able to function for a
Speaker 1: certain amount of hours. You know, depending on who you are,
Speaker 1: some people get more sleep than others. I don't know why,
Speaker 1: what's up with me? But right because I work and
Speaker 1: I'm a podcaster and I have kids, I don't get
Speaker 1: that much sleep, even though I would love to sleep
Speaker 1: but sleep in. But I got three kids, I got
Speaker 1: three shows I do, and I got I'm adding a
Speaker 1: fourth show. And I am working, you know, fifty fifty
Speaker 1: hours a week or something for my job, and I'm
Speaker 1: on call twenty four to seven. But God prepares us
Speaker 1: for sleep, you know, I mean God prepared our body
Speaker 1: like for sleep. But sometimes he wants us to sacrifice
Speaker 1: sleep and time to be with him, to pray with him.
Speaker 1: And this is the time where he knows that his
Speaker 1: time is coming, his time is short, and he wants
Speaker 1: to spend time with his disciples, and he wants them
Speaker 1: to realize that he's going to pass away and he's
Speaker 1: going to die on the cross, even though he's coming
Speaker 1: back after three days, but you know, he wants them
Speaker 1: to He wants that moment with them right, and he
Speaker 1: wants them to be in deep prayer. So, Luke forty six,
Speaker 1: let me go to my notes real quick and see
Speaker 1: if I'm missing anything. Nope, Chapter becludes with jesus arrest.
Speaker 1: That's in forty seven, which we're about to go over.
Speaker 1: And let me check these other notes instructions of time
Speaker 1: of crisis in thirty five through thirty eight. So Jesus
Speaker 1: prays on the mount of all of Jesus prayed earnestly,
Speaker 1: asking for the cup to be taken from him, yet
Speaker 1: he submits to the father's will. The Greek Agniah reflects
Speaker 1: his intense anguish, which is completely understandable because we don't
Speaker 1: know how we're gonna die. We don't know, you know,
Speaker 1: whether it's gonna happen in a month, whether it's gonna
Speaker 1: happen in twenty years, forty years, whether we're gonna be
Speaker 1: killed in an auto wreck, or we're gonna be killed
Speaker 1: with a heart attack, or we're going to be killed
Speaker 1: in our We're just gonna die in our sleep. I
Speaker 1: don't yeah, you know, we don't know. But Jesus knows
Speaker 1: every single step from beginning to end of what's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: So this is true anguish that he's going through. That
Speaker 1: is why his sweat became like drop, great drops of
Speaker 1: blood falling down to the ground, because he is truly anxiety,
Speaker 1: and it must have been so hard on him. Betrayal
Speaker 1: and arrest. In Gethsemine this is Luke twenty two, verse
Speaker 1: forty seven, it says, and while he was still speaking,
Speaker 1: behold the multitude, and he was called ju And he
Speaker 1: who was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before
Speaker 1: them and drew near to Jesus to kiss him. But
Speaker 1: Jesus said to him, Judas, are you betraying the son
Speaker 1: of Man with the kiss? When those around him saw
Speaker 1: that he was what was going to happen. They said
Speaker 1: to him, Lord, shall we strike with the sword. And
Speaker 1: one of them struck the servant of the high priest
Speaker 1: and cut off his right ear. So we have in
Speaker 1: other I think it's in Matthew or Mark. I can't
Speaker 1: remember which one it is. We have the verse where
Speaker 1: it's talking about Peter is the one that cut this
Speaker 1: guy's ear off, and Jesus he touched his ear and
Speaker 1: healed him. So who we know that Peter is the
Speaker 1: one that Let me tell, I'm sorry, guys, I worked
Speaker 1: all day to day. I do this on Monday nights.
Speaker 1: I apologize that I mean to Yann. So Peter, you
Speaker 1: guys you know I'm human. I love you guys, but
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm only human. So sometimes I get tired.
Speaker 1: So it looks like I'm gonna have to drink some caffeine.
Speaker 1: D you want to? But I guess I will, okay.
Speaker 1: So so while he was speaking, behold in multitude. Okay,
Speaker 1: So in other gospels, I think it's either Mark or Matthew,
Speaker 1: Peter is the one that actually did that did this, Okay,
Speaker 1: But Jesus answered and said, permit even this, and he
Speaker 1: touched his ear and healed him. Then Jesus said to
Speaker 1: the chief priest, captains of the temple, and the elders
Speaker 1: who had come to him, have you come out as
Speaker 1: against a robber with swords and clubs? When I was
Speaker 1: with you daily in the temple, you did not try
Speaker 1: to seize me. But this is your hour and the
Speaker 1: power of this. But this is your hour and the
Speaker 1: power of darkness. So Matthew twenty six fifty six spays all,
Speaker 1: but all this was done that the scriptures of the
Speaker 1: prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him
Speaker 1: and fled. That's going to be happening here. This is
Speaker 1: a better description of what happened right there. Peter denies
Speaker 1: Jesus and weeps bitterly. So Judas betrays Jesus with the
Speaker 1: kiss into his arrests. Peter denies Jesus three times. Is
Speaker 1: going to happen right here. So, having arrested him, they
Speaker 1: led him and brought him into the high priest house,
Speaker 1: but Peter followed at a distance. Now, when they kindled
Speaker 1: a fire in the midst of the courtyard, had sat
Speaker 1: down together. Peter sat among them, and a certain servant girl,
Speaker 1: seeing him as he sat by the fire, looked intently
Speaker 1: at him and said this man was all so with him,
Speaker 1: But he denied him. He denied him, saying, woman, I
Speaker 1: do not know him. And after a little while another
Speaker 1: saw him and said, you also were one of them?
Speaker 1: Are you also are of them? But Peter said, man,
Speaker 1: I am not. Then, after about an hour had passed,
Speaker 1: another confidently affirmed, saying, surely this fellow is with him,
Speaker 1: he is a Galilean. But Peter said, man, I do
Speaker 1: not know what you're saying. Immediately while he was speaking,
Speaker 1: the rooster crowed, and the Lord turned and looked at Peter.
Speaker 1: That Peter remembered the word of the Lord how he
Speaker 1: had said to him before the rooster crows, you will
Speaker 1: deny me three times. So Peter went out and wept bitterly.
Speaker 1: He wept bitterly. Jesus or Peter denies. The Greek word
Speaker 1: ernesto is used for Peter's denial. The Greek word er
Speaker 1: er ernestatto. It's used for Peter's denial. And let's see
Speaker 1: if I have any teaching points on that Peter's denial. Yep,
Speaker 1: we talked about that illustrating human weakness and the need
Speaker 1: for divine grace. Now, like I said, before we go
Speaker 1: judging Peter, you know, he's in the position where he
Speaker 1: wants to see what's gonna happen to Jesus. Like he's
Speaker 1: trying to be like almost like an undercover spy, and
Speaker 1: people are pointing him out and he's denying them. You know,
Speaker 1: there's kind of a little better explanation of how Peter
Speaker 1: reacted here, and it looks like he he kind of
Speaker 1: tried to act like he's totally not his follower, like
Speaker 1: he was, you know, kind of cussing or swearing. It
Speaker 1: seems like in Matthew twenty six, seventy four through seventy five.
Speaker 1: Then he began to curse and swear, saying I do
Speaker 1: not know the man immediately at rooster crode and Jesus,
Speaker 1: and Peter remembered the word of Jesus who had said
Speaker 1: to him before the rooster crows, you will deny me
Speaker 1: three times. So he went out and wept bitterly. So
Speaker 1: I just want to point out that part right there.
Speaker 1: Seeing Matthew, you get kind of a little more detail.
Speaker 1: That's why it's good to go through all the accounts.
Speaker 1: The gospel message, because you get a little thing here
Speaker 1: and you get a little something there that might be
Speaker 1: a little bit different added or taken away. That's something
Speaker 1: that is kind of important where you're kind of seeing him.
Speaker 1: Then he began to curse and swear, you know, so
Speaker 1: not only is he kind of denying him, but he's
Speaker 1: also cursing and swearing, which is like totally not acting
Speaker 1: like a disciple of Jesus. Right, So that's what we have.
Speaker 1: Like I said, don't judge Peter, because who knows what
Speaker 1: you would do. Right. Jesus mocked and beaten. Now, the
Speaker 1: men who held Jesus mocked him and beat him, and
Speaker 1: having blindfolded him, they struck him on the face and
Speaker 1: asked him saying, prophesy, who is the one who struck you?
Speaker 1: And many other things that alsphemously spoke against him, and
Speaker 1: many other things they blasphemy spoke against him. See, they
Speaker 1: didn't even know that God was right there in the flesh.
Speaker 1: They didn't even know. They couldn't even see it because
Speaker 1: religion was blinding their eyes. So Jesus faces the Sanhedrin
Speaker 1: as soon as it was day. The algis of the people,
Speaker 1: both chief priests and Scrias came together and led him
Speaker 1: into the council, saying, if you are the Christ, tell us.
Speaker 1: But he said to them, if I tell you, you
Speaker 1: will not, by no means believe. And if I also
Speaker 1: ask you, you will by no means answer me. Or
Speaker 1: let me go here. After the sun of man will
Speaker 1: sit on the right hand of the power of God.
Speaker 1: Then they said, are you the son of God? So
Speaker 1: he said to them, you rightly said that I am.
Speaker 1: And they said, what further testimony do we need? For
Speaker 1: we have heard it ourselves from his mouth, which is
Speaker 1: not really true, because he says, you rightly said that
Speaker 1: I am. You see, he's Jesus knows exactly how to
Speaker 1: answer them and exactly how to deflect, and he knows
Speaker 1: exactly how to talk. I think we could finish chapter
Speaker 1: twenty three. Hopefully. It looks like it's ten eighteen. We
Speaker 1: got about a good what thirty maybe forty minutes to
Speaker 1: finish chapter twenty three. I think we'll be fine. Jesus
Speaker 1: is a rest in trial. The chapter concludes with Jesus
Speaker 1: is arrest and the beginning of his trial. Verses forty
Speaker 1: seven through seventy one set in the stage for his
Speaker 1: ultimate sacrifice. Let's see if I have anything about the
Speaker 1: events Jesus before the Sanhedrin. Jesus has brought before the
Speaker 1: council and the question about his identity as the son
Speaker 1: of God. The Greek epion means said or declared the
Speaker 1: mocking and beating of Jesus. Jesus is mocked and beaten
Speaker 1: by those holding him. The Greek emphasizedis means to mock
Speaker 1: or ridicule. Let's go ahead and check out some practical
Speaker 1: applications that you could use for your life. Reflect on
Speaker 1: betrayal and forgiveness. Consider how Jesus responded to betrayal with
Speaker 1: love and forgiveness, and apply this to your own relationship.
Speaker 1: Embrace Okay, yeah, so betrayal. So consider how Jesus responded
Speaker 1: to betrayal with love and forgiveness and apply this to
Speaker 1: your own relationship. Yeah, that's something we all need to
Speaker 1: do right So right now, if you are fighting with
Speaker 1: your spouse, or you're arguing, or you're not doing good,
Speaker 1: then you need to respond with love and forgiveness. So
Speaker 1: I'll try to do the same. Apply it to your
Speaker 1: own relationship. Embrace servanthood. Seek opportunities to serve others selfishly
Speaker 1: following Jesus example of leadership through service. Yes, it's so
Speaker 1: easy for us to want to be served. It's so
Speaker 1: easy sometimes to be like, hey, I want to go
Speaker 1: out to eat. I want to go to a restaurant,
Speaker 1: and then the server comes up, Hi, how you doing, mammer? Serve?
Speaker 1: What can I do for you? Can I get you
Speaker 1: a water? Of course? Can I get you a soda
Speaker 1: or whatever? And then you're being served? Can I get
Speaker 1: and then well, would you like a steak? Do you
Speaker 1: want extra ranch? Yes? Do you want this? You're being
Speaker 1: served the whole time. Right, So you know some people
Speaker 1: like that. But what Jesus is saying that we as
Speaker 1: disciples need to be in service to others. That is important. Right,
Speaker 1: don't put yourself first, but others first. Right, love your
Speaker 1: neighbor as you love yourself. Commit to prayer like Jesus
Speaker 1: in the Garden of Gonsemite, prioritize prayer in times of trial,
Speaker 1: seeking God's strength and guidance. That is so vastly important.
Speaker 1: We need to understand that even if you are a
Speaker 1: child of God, and if you are saved and you're
Speaker 1: walking with the Lord, the devil is not going to
Speaker 1: leave you alone unless you resist. If he tempts you
Speaker 1: and you resist him, he's going to flee. James four
Speaker 1: to seven says that, okay, so yes, it's not like
Speaker 1: he's going to be able to just tempt you. Like
Speaker 1: God's never going to give you anything that you can't handle,
Speaker 1: and he's not going to let the devil give you
Speaker 1: something that you can't handle. You can get over it. It's
Speaker 1: up to you to get over whatever sin that he's
Speaker 1: offering you or temptation. Okay, acknowledge human weakness, recognize your
Speaker 1: own weakness, and rely on God's grace. As Peter's story
Speaker 1: reminds us of the need for repentance and restoration. Obviously
Speaker 1: Peter repented right because he did this, and you don't
Speaker 1: see him going off and being like Judas and hanging himself. No,
Speaker 1: obviously he weeps bitterly. He that is repentance. You're crying
Speaker 1: because you care about what you did, right, And then
Speaker 1: you know, restoration, you know you gotta once you do
Speaker 1: see God again, which he does see Jesus again, restoration happens.
Speaker 1: So all right, very nice. Chapter twenty two was filled
Speaker 1: with a lot of stuff. I literally put most of
Speaker 1: my time into chapter twenty two because I had like
Speaker 1: a bunch of breakdowns on the whole entire loop chapter
Speaker 1: twenty two. So that's why it almost went like an
Speaker 1: hour and ten minutes just for one chapter. It was dent.
Speaker 1: Here's some connecting and additional scriptures. Betrayal and Forgiveness Matthew six,
Speaker 1: verses fourteen through fifteen emphasizes the importance of forgiving others
Speaker 1: as God forgives us servant leadership. Go to Mark ten,
Speaker 1: verses forty three through forty five. Those verses reinforce the
Speaker 1: call to serve others as Jesus did. Philippians four Versus
Speaker 1: six through seven encourage us believers to pray and seek
Speaker 1: God's peace in difficult times. Human weakness and grace Tewod
Speaker 1: Corinthians twelve, verses nine through ten speaks to the sufficiency
Speaker 1: of God's grace and our weakness because sometimes we are weak,
Speaker 1: sometimes we are human. Sometimes we let the flesh win,
Speaker 1: sometimes we let the devil win. Right, So thank God
Speaker 1: for God's grace, because if we didn't have God's grace,
Speaker 1: then we would not be in a very good position,
Speaker 1: would we. Because we are all sinners. We just have
Speaker 1: to try to be obedient the best that we can.
Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and check this out. We have Luke
Speaker 1: twenty three, verse one. Then the whole multitude of them
Speaker 1: arose and let him to Pilot, and they began to
Speaker 1: accuse him, saying, we found this fella perverting the nation
Speaker 1: and forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, saying that he
Speaker 1: himself is Christ a king or Messiah a king. Then
Speaker 1: Pilot asked him, saying, are you the king of the Jews?
Speaker 1: And he answered him and said it is as you say.
Speaker 1: So Pilot said to the chief priests and crown, I
Speaker 1: find no fault in this man. But they but they
Speaker 1: were the more fear, saying he stirs up the people,
Speaker 1: teaching throughout all Juday a beginning from Galilee to this place.
Speaker 1: You see a bunch of lies. So Jesus is brought
Speaker 1: before a Pilot by the assembly who accuses him of
Speaker 1: mislaying the nation and opposing payment and taxes in Caesar,
Speaker 1: which he didn't obviously said pay to Caesar, what is Caesar's?
Speaker 1: Pay to God's? What is God right? So we went
Speaker 1: over that. So they're they're lying. Now shall bear false witness? Wow,
Speaker 1: they are breaking the Ten Commandments. For them, knowing the
Speaker 1: law so much and their religion, they're breaking the ten
Speaker 1: Commandments by bearing false witness against Jesus. Do you notice
Speaker 1: that describes the Pharisees, the lawyers, all of them. They
Speaker 1: are meant to study the law, to know it back
Speaker 1: and forth, and to know God's commandments. And right here
Speaker 1: they're bear bring false witness against God himself. Do you
Speaker 1: see this? This is crazy? And the Greek term Christos
Speaker 1: means anointed one or Messiah, just so we know what
Speaker 1: that means. And in Luke three Pilot asked Jesus to
Speaker 1: see the king of the Jews. Jesus responds, you have
Speaker 1: said so. The phrase you said so is a Greek
Speaker 1: idiomatic expression affirming the statement. And then when Luke twenty
Speaker 1: three four, Pilot tells the the chief priest and the
Speaker 1: crowd that he finds no basis to charge against Jesus. Right,
Speaker 1: he finds no fault in him. So now we're going
Speaker 1: to go ahead and see when Jesus faces Herod. When
Speaker 1: Pilot heard of Galilee, he asked if the man were
Speaker 1: a Galilean, and as soon as he knew that he
Speaker 1: belonged to Herod's jurisdiction. He sent him to Herod, who
Speaker 1: was also in Jerusalem at that time. Now, when Herod
Speaker 1: saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad, for he had desired
Speaker 1: for a long time to see him because he had
Speaker 1: heard many things about him, and he hoped to see
Speaker 1: some miracle done by him. Then he questioned him with
Speaker 1: many words, but he answered him nothing, And the chief
Speaker 1: priests inscribed stood and vehemently accused him that Herod's with
Speaker 1: this man of war, treated him with the contempt and
Speaker 1: mocked him, arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent
Speaker 1: him back to Pilot. That very day, Pilot and Herod
Speaker 1: became friends with each other, for previously they had been
Speaker 1: in enmity with each other. So you see Herod, I
Speaker 1: think it's I think Herod's dad. I think this is
Speaker 1: not the King Herod that is. I think I already
Speaker 1: went over this before. I think this is Herod. I
Speaker 1: think this is the Herod that tried to kill Jesus's son. Okay,
Speaker 1: so it might be mistaken, or it might be the
Speaker 1: exact one. I'd have to I don't want to, like
Speaker 1: really take the time to look that up. It's not
Speaker 1: very important, but so Jesus sent to Herod. Upon learning
Speaker 1: that Jesus is a Galilean, Pilot sends him to Herod,
Speaker 1: who was in Jerusalem at that time. Herod mocks Jesus. Herod,
Speaker 1: hoping to see a miracle, questions Jesus, but receives no answer.
Speaker 1: Herod and his soldiers mock Jesus, dressed him in a
Speaker 1: splendid robe and send him back to Pilot. Which we
Speaker 1: talked about. Are these just the events? These are events? Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's see. I want to have some good teaching points.
Speaker 1: Have we gone to twenty five yet? Nope, we haven't.
Speaker 1: Let's continue. Looks like we're gonna do this chapter fairly quick.
Speaker 1: So Luke twenty three, verse thirteen. Then, Pilot, when he
Speaker 1: had called together the chief priest, the rulers, and the people,
Speaker 1: said to them, you have brought this man to me
Speaker 1: as one who misleads the people, and indeed haven't examined
Speaker 1: him in your presence. I found no fault in this
Speaker 1: man concerning those things of which you accuse him. No,
Speaker 1: neither did Herod or I sent you back to him,
Speaker 1: And indeed nothing deserving of death has been done by him.
Speaker 1: I will there for chastise him and release him, for
Speaker 1: it is necessary for him to release For it is
Speaker 1: necessary for him to release one of them at the feast.
Speaker 1: And they all cried out at once, saying, away with
Speaker 1: this man that released Brabbas, who has been thrown into
Speaker 1: prison for a certain rebellion made in the city for murder.
Speaker 1: So just to let you guys know, besides him being
Speaker 1: a murderer, he did a rebellion against Rome. Okay, so
Speaker 1: he was rebelling against Rome, and he also murdered Jesus.
Speaker 1: No fault at all, no sin. People are bearing false
Speaker 1: witness against him. These are scribes, pharisees, and lawyers and
Speaker 1: sadducees that are breaking the ten commandments by bearing false
Speaker 1: witness against him. Brabas murderer that did a rebellion in
Speaker 1: the city against the Romans. So Pilot, therefore, wishing to
Speaker 1: release Jesus, called out, called out to them, but they
Speaker 1: shouted saying, crucify him, crucify him. Then he said to
Speaker 1: them the third tom why what evil has he done?
Speaker 1: I found no reason for death in him. I will
Speaker 1: therefore chastise him and let him go. But they're insistent.
Speaker 1: But they were insistent demanding with loud voices that he
Speaker 1: be crucified, and their voices, the voices of these men
Speaker 1: and the chief priests prevailed. So Pilot gave sentence that
Speaker 1: it should be as they requested, and he released to
Speaker 1: them the one they requested for the rebellion and murder
Speaker 1: had been thrown into prison, but he delivered Jesus to
Speaker 1: their will. So I know that on like the Passion
Speaker 1: of Christ, and I don't know, like not Passion of Christ,
Speaker 1: but some of these shows, it seems like the like
Speaker 1: the scribes and Pharisees placed this crowd there. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't see it here in the scriptures, right, I
Speaker 1: don't see it. I don't see it exactly like that,
Speaker 1: but you think maybe they might have placed these people,
Speaker 1: because why would they want to release Barabus instead, you know,
Speaker 1: like these it just seems like it was kind of
Speaker 1: to set up this way because the Pharisees, one of them,
Speaker 1: he wanted Jesus killed so bad and crucified. I'm not
Speaker 1: it's this is not in the word here, but it
Speaker 1: just seems like that because most of the people he
Speaker 1: didn't do anything wrong to them, right, So and Luke
Speaker 1: one through twenty five which is what we just went over,
Speaker 1: details the trial of Jesus before Pilot and Herod. Despite
Speaker 1: finding no fault in him, Pilot succumbs to the crowds
Speaker 1: of demands. This highlights the theme of injustice and fulfillment
Speaker 1: of Isaiah fifty three seven. He was oppressed and afflicted,
Speaker 1: yet he did not open his mouth. Yes, so that
Speaker 1: is so he doesn't open his mouth, and he doesn't
Speaker 1: you know, you know that he could send a legion
Speaker 1: of angels to come and slap Pilot the face and
Speaker 1: knock his head, probably all the way to California. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm just saying, you know, I mean, he
Speaker 1: could send a legion to angels and destroy every single
Speaker 1: person that's there besides his disciples. And you know, all
Speaker 1: the people that are saying that he can literally do that,
Speaker 1: he has to keep his mouth shut. Can you imagine
Speaker 1: what that took for him to just take it and
Speaker 1: why all this is going on knowing that he could
Speaker 1: like literally have him wiped out in a second. Well,
Speaker 1: this is why we should appreciate what he did for us, right,
Speaker 1: because he has the power to do that, Yet he
Speaker 1: didn't do anything like that, and he actually kept quiet
Speaker 1: and silent, so that what they were doing was going
Speaker 1: to happen, because why because it's his father's will for
Speaker 1: him to do it, and he you know, let you
Speaker 1: will be done, Let this cup pass for me. No, oh,
Speaker 1: he's going to do God's will. Right now, we're going
Speaker 1: to talk about the king on a cross Luke twenty three,
Speaker 1: twenty six. Now, as they led him away, they led
Speaker 1: whole of a certain men, Simon, a Syrianan who is
Speaker 1: coming from a country, from the country, and on him
Speaker 1: they laid the cross that he might bear it. After
Speaker 1: Jesus and a great multitude of people followed him, and
Speaker 1: women who also mourned, mourned and lamented, lamented him. But Jesus,
Speaker 1: turning to them, said, daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep
Speaker 1: for me, will weep for yourselves and for your children.
Speaker 1: For indeed the days are coming in which they will say,
Speaker 1: blessed are the barren wombs and never bore and breasts
Speaker 1: which have nursed. Then they will begin to say, to
Speaker 1: the mountains fall on us, and to the hills cover us.
Speaker 1: For if they do these things in the green wood,
Speaker 1: what will be done in the dry. So that's in okay, now,
Speaker 1: let's go here Luke twenty three, verse thirty two. And
Speaker 1: there was also two others criminals led with him to
Speaker 1: be put to death. And when they had come to
Speaker 1: the place called cavalry, they were crucified. They crucified him
Speaker 1: and the criminals, one on the right and one on
Speaker 1: the left. Then Jesus said, Father, forgive me, for forgive them,
Speaker 1: for they know not what they do. And they divided
Speaker 1: his garments and cast lots. And the people stood looking on,
Speaker 1: but even the rulers with them sneered, saying he saved others,
Speaker 1: let him save himself if he is the Christ, the
Speaker 1: chosen of God. The soldiers also mocked him, coming and
Speaker 1: offering him sour wine, saying, if you are King of
Speaker 1: the Jews, save yourself. As an inscription also was written
Speaker 1: over him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew, this
Speaker 1: is the king of the Jews. Now I have gone
Speaker 1: over this, uh in in Matthew and in Mark in
Speaker 1: more detail, and I've kind of showed you a few
Speaker 1: things here and there. If you want to go back
Speaker 1: to those parts you can. I'm just kind of just
Speaker 1: reading over this just to uh, you know, for the
Speaker 1: sake of time, just kind of going over this section
Speaker 1: where I'm not going over all the all the different
Speaker 1: h sayings and everything. Okay, so but the you know,
Speaker 1: because I kind of go a little more in depth
Speaker 1: on the one where I went over in Mark, I
Speaker 1: think our Matthew, I think, Matthew, I'll go over all
Speaker 1: super in depth on this. But then one of the
Speaker 1: criminals who were hanged blasphemed him, saying, if you are
Speaker 1: the Christ, save yourself and us. But the other answered
Speaker 1: rebuke in him, saying, do not do you not even
Speaker 1: fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation. And
Speaker 1: we need and indeed justly, for we receive the do
Speaker 1: reward of our deeds. But this man has done nothing wrong.
Speaker 1: Then he said to Jesus, Lord, remember me when you
Speaker 1: come into your kingdom. And Jesus said to him, as
Speaker 1: surely I say to you today, you will be with
Speaker 1: me in paradise. So we need to understand a few
Speaker 1: things on this portion. So in Ephesians four Aphesians four,
Speaker 1: I think four through eight something like that. At the
Speaker 1: check it talks about Jesus when he dies. He he
Speaker 1: said he ascended to heaven, but first he descended into
Speaker 1: the lower parts of the earth. Let's see what verse
Speaker 1: that is. Let me just I want to give you
Speaker 1: the right, the right one Ephesians four, verses four through eight.
Speaker 1: Is that what it is? There's no home spirit, h Phesians,
Speaker 1: Jesus descends into hell. Okay, I was close Ephesian Seasans
Speaker 1: four nine. Okay, let's see Apheasians four nine. Ephesians four nine.
Speaker 1: Thank you guys for your patience. I just want to
Speaker 1: make sure when I am, I just don't want to
Speaker 1: be quoting the verse wrong. Okay, we'll start here. H
Speaker 1: and A Peasans four seven. But to each one of
Speaker 1: us grace has given according to the measure of Christ's gift. Therefore,
Speaker 1: he says, when he ascended on high, he led captivity
Speaker 1: captive and gave gifts to men. Verse nine says, now
Speaker 1: this he ascended, what does it mean but that he
Speaker 1: also first descended into the lower parts of the earth.
Speaker 1: He who descended is also the one who us said
Speaker 1: it far above all the heavens, that he might fill
Speaker 1: all things, And he himself gave some. He himself gave
Speaker 1: some to be apostles, prophets, some evangelists, and pastors and teachers.
Speaker 1: So I don't need to go over that portion. The
Speaker 1: very important part was he ascended. But before he ascended,
Speaker 1: first descended into the lower parts of the earth. What
Speaker 1: do we have in the lower parts of the earth. Well,
Speaker 1: we have Shiel on one side, and then a giant
Speaker 1: chasm or a golf, and on the other side is
Speaker 1: what's called Abraham's bosom, and you have Paradise. We kind
Speaker 1: of talked about that when we went over in Luke
Speaker 1: sixteen the story of Lazarus and the rich Man in Lazaruth. Right,
Speaker 1: we talked about that already. So what does he mean
Speaker 1: is surely I see to you today you will be
Speaker 1: in pairs. So Jesus probably went into the earth, descended,
Speaker 1: grabbed all the prophets that he's gonna grab, takes them
Speaker 1: to heaven. Right, So he descended into the lower parts
Speaker 1: of the earth, then he ascended to heaven, is what
Speaker 1: I'm seeing. Does the Bible say that, No, you see
Speaker 1: in the Apostles Creed, But I'm kind of seeing that
Speaker 1: he went descended into heaven, or descended into the lower
Speaker 1: parts of the earth, and then he ascended to heaven,
Speaker 1: which means he went up to heaven. That's what ascended
Speaker 1: means descending means to go down. So what is down? Well,
Speaker 1: there's lower parts of the earth. Well it's just magma.
Speaker 1: Well that's what the scientists would tell you, but they
Speaker 1: have no idea because the farthest that we've ever dug
Speaker 1: down is eight miles. But what I do is like
Speaker 1: I always do, and Christians should also do this, you know,
Speaker 1: if you want to or not, whatever you want to do,
Speaker 1: I'm not pushing it on you, but we need to
Speaker 1: take God's word and place it above what anybody ever
Speaker 1: tells you in science and in all these different people
Speaker 1: that try to tell you things, because the Bible is
Speaker 1: is what's going to tell you. Know, God is the
Speaker 1: one that created the heavens and the earth, and He's
Speaker 1: going to tell us the true information. You know. That's
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But my whole point is it says,
Speaker 1: as surely I see you today, you will be in
Speaker 1: paradise with me in paradise. So does that mean that
Speaker 1: the thief got to go with Jesus into the earth
Speaker 1: into paradise down there, or did he get to ascend
Speaker 1: to heaven. Well, the only time that anybody can enter
Speaker 1: heaven is when Jesus died on the cross. Right, then
Speaker 1: that's when this very that's when the power change happened.
Speaker 1: And that's when you know, it's very powerful. You know,
Speaker 1: people don't understand, but it was so powerful when Jesus
Speaker 1: walked the earth, and it's so powerful what he did
Speaker 1: on this cross. It is like a huge shift in power. Okay,
Speaker 1: he has the keys to the hell, he has the
Speaker 1: keys to earth, he has the keys to heaven. Okay,
Speaker 1: So Jesus dies on the cross. This is going to
Speaker 1: be Luke twenty three, verse forty four. Now it was
Speaker 1: about the sixth hour. There was a darkness over all
Speaker 1: the earth until the ninth hour. Then the sun was darkened,
Speaker 1: and the veil of the temple was torn into And
Speaker 1: when Jesus had cried out with the loud voice, he said, Father,
Speaker 1: into your hands, I commit my spirit. Having said this,
Speaker 1: he breathed his lass. So when the centurion saw that
Speaker 1: what happened, he glorified God, saying, certainly this was a
Speaker 1: righteous man. And the whole crowd we came together in
Speaker 1: that sight, seeing that he had what had been done,
Speaker 1: beat their breasts in return with all their acquaintances, and
Speaker 1: the women who followed him from Galilee stood at the distance,
Speaker 1: watching the watching these things. So we'll look at what
Speaker 1: this my teaching points, says so Verses twenty sixty forty
Speaker 1: three describes a crucifixion where Jesus is mocked and scorned,
Speaker 1: yet even in his suffering, he extends grace, saying, Father,
Speaker 1: forgive them, for they know not what they do. This
Speaker 1: demonstrates his divine love and mercy even when he's on
Speaker 1: the cross. After everything has happened, he says that it's
Speaker 1: like God's grace is so sufficient and so beautiful. The
Speaker 1: repentant thief, so in Verses thirty nine through forty three,
Speaker 1: one of the criminals crucified alongside Jesus acknowledges his innocence
Speaker 1: and asked to be remembered in his kingdom. Jesus responds, truly,
Speaker 1: I tell you today you will be with me in Paradise,
Speaker 1: illustrating the immediacy of salvation through faith. This is a
Speaker 1: perfect picture of what we get when we believe that
Speaker 1: Jesus died on the cross. When we believe, let me
Speaker 1: read it real quick. What is it? One Corinthians fifteen,
Speaker 1: Verses one through four. Very important. Let me go over
Speaker 1: that because it is the gospel message. And you guys
Speaker 1: need to hear this. You need to hear this. Where
Speaker 1: is it? I have it? I have it actually already
Speaker 1: pulled up somewhere in here. All right, I guess I'll
Speaker 1: just go there. I already know the verse First Corinthians
Speaker 1: fifteen Versus one through four. You need one through five. Here.
Speaker 1: This is Paul speaking moreover, brother, And I declare to
Speaker 1: you the gospel which I preach to you, which also
Speaker 1: you received, in which you stand by, which also you
Speaker 1: are saved if you hold fast that word which I
Speaker 1: preach to you, unless you believed in vain. For I
Speaker 1: delivered to you first of all that which I have received,
Speaker 1: that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures,
Speaker 1: that he was buried, and that he rose again the
Speaker 1: third day according to the scriptures, and that he was
Speaker 1: seen by Cephis, and by the twelve. After that he
Speaker 1: was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of
Speaker 1: whom the greater part remained to present, but some have
Speaker 1: fallen asleep after they have seen. After that he was
Speaker 1: seen by James, that all the apostles. Then, last of all,
Speaker 1: he was seen by me also as by one born
Speaker 1: out of due time. The gospel message is right there,
Speaker 1: the bread and butter for I delivered to first, which
Speaker 1: was received. That Christ died for our sins according to
Speaker 1: the scriptures. That he also was buried, and that he
Speaker 1: rose again after the third day according to the scriptures,
Speaker 1: and that he was seen. Okay, we have to believe
Speaker 1: that in order for us to receive salvation. Okay, we
Speaker 1: have to believe that. Believe it, all right. The Death
Speaker 1: of Jesus Verses forty nine, forty four through forty nine
Speaker 1: describe this supernatural events surrounding Jesus's death, including darkness over
Speaker 1: the land and the tearing of the temple veil, symbolizing
Speaker 1: the new access of God through Christ. I also want
Speaker 1: to go over something, Okay, I want to go over
Speaker 1: something that is vastly important. It's going to be in
Speaker 1: the book of Matthew, and it is just blew me away.
Speaker 1: In case I have any new listeners, I just want
Speaker 1: to make sure that you understand what is going on
Speaker 1: here when Jesus dies on this cross. Okay, so it
Speaker 1: says this and Matthew twenty seven will start out at
Speaker 1: fifty and Jesus cried out again a loud voice and
Speaker 1: yielded up his spirit. Then behold, the veil of the
Speaker 1: temple was torn in two from top to bottom, and
Speaker 1: the earth quaked, and the rocks were split, and the
Speaker 1: graves were opened, and any bodies of the saints who
Speaker 1: had fallen asleep were raised coming out of the graves.
Speaker 1: After his resurrection, they went into the Holy City, which
Speaker 1: is Jerusalem, and appeared to many. Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1: To me that that is fascinating. The saints of old
Speaker 1: of the Old Testament ended up coming out of the graves, right,
Speaker 1: that is just. And it says they came coming out
Speaker 1: of the graves after so there was an earthquake that
Speaker 1: split the earth. These these saints came from out of
Speaker 1: the graves and they appeared to many in the Holy City.
Speaker 1: To me, that is fascinating. Okay, that is very fascinating.
Speaker 1: And then that is actually a that is actually a
Speaker 1: prophecy that has talked about in the book of Ezekiel
Speaker 1: about the dry bones. I mean, we have to go
Speaker 1: there real quick, because I know I have it somewhere.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, I wish I could on the fly,
Speaker 1: remember Ezekiel. Oh man, I wish I had this in
Speaker 1: my notes where's it at Ezekiel? I think it's Ezekiel
Speaker 1: fourteen one. Let me just shoot if I could shoot
Speaker 1: from the hip and remember this, it's going to be
Speaker 1: amazing because it really has to do with something I
Speaker 1: didn't get to teach you guys last time, which I
Speaker 1: really want to teach you. So everybody that's listening that
Speaker 1: I've been following along, I forgot to I mean not forgot.
Speaker 1: I just learned about this. Watch. I bet you it's
Speaker 1: going to be some of the elders of Israel came
Speaker 1: and sat before me, the son of Man, the idols
Speaker 1: and their hearts. Therefore speak to them. Ah, where is it? Okay?
Speaker 1: I know what to do. Just give me a second. Sorry, guys,
Speaker 1: I really want to the prophecy about the dry bones,
Speaker 1: Ezekiel thirty seven, That's what it was. I was way
Speaker 1: off f act, like I'm all close thirty seven, but
Speaker 1: I was actually saying Ezekiel fourteen all right, laughing my
Speaker 1: own jokes again. That's that's just funny I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm talking to myself the whole time when
Speaker 1: I'm doing these shows, right, all right, let me read
Speaker 1: this to you that way, you know, So The reason
Speaker 1: why I'm reading this is because when Jesus died on
Speaker 1: the cross, it was an earthquake, and then there was these,
Speaker 1: these these saints who were just bones, and the earth
Speaker 1: ended up becoming flesh and walking the earth and appearing
Speaker 1: to many. Let's read this Ezekiel thirty seven, The dry
Speaker 1: bones live. I believe this is a prophecy of that
Speaker 1: at exact moments, the hand of the Lord came upon
Speaker 1: me and brought me out in the spirit of the
Speaker 1: Lord right, which is the Holy Spirit, and set me
Speaker 1: down in the midst of the valley, and it was
Speaker 1: full of bones. Then he caused me to pass by
Speaker 1: them all around, and behold, there were very many in
Speaker 1: the open valley, and indeed they were very dry. And
Speaker 1: he said to me, son of Man, can these bones live?
Speaker 1: So I answered, oh, Lord God, you know again he
Speaker 1: said to me, prophesy to these bones, and say to them, oh,
Speaker 1: dry bones. Hear the word of the Lord, that says
Speaker 1: the Lord God to these bones. Surely I will cause
Speaker 1: breath to enter you. Breath is a word in the
Speaker 1: Hebrew spirit. So he's gonna cause these dry bones, and
Speaker 1: he's gonna cause a spirit to go into them. Surely
Speaker 1: I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live.
Speaker 1: I will put seinws, which are tendants, on you, and
Speaker 1: bring flesh upon you, cover you with skin, and put
Speaker 1: breath in you, and you shall live. Then you shall
Speaker 1: know that I am the Lord. So I prophesized as
Speaker 1: I was commanded. As I prophesized, there was a noise,
Speaker 1: and suddenly a rattling, and the dry bones came together,
Speaker 1: bone to bone. Indeed, as I looked the se news
Speaker 1: which are the tendants, and the flesh came upon them,
Speaker 1: and the skin covered them over. But there was no
Speaker 1: breath in them. And he also said to me, prophesied
Speaker 1: to the breath, prophesize, son of man, and say to
Speaker 1: the breath, thus says the Lord God, come from the
Speaker 1: four winds, O breath and breathe on the slain, that
Speaker 1: they may live. So I prophesized as he commanded me,
Speaker 1: and breathe and breath came into them, and they lived
Speaker 1: and stood upon their feet and exceedingly great army. Then
Speaker 1: he said to me, Sen of Ben, these bones are
Speaker 1: the whole house of Israel. And they indeed say, our
Speaker 1: bones are dry, our hope is lost, and ourselves are
Speaker 1: cut off. Therefore prophesy and say to them, Thus says
Speaker 1: the Lord God. Behold, oh my people, I'll open your
Speaker 1: graves and cause you to come up from your graves
Speaker 1: and bring you into the land of Israel. That's exactly
Speaker 1: what happened. This is fascinating. Right. Then you shall know
Speaker 1: that I am the Lord. When I have opened your
Speaker 1: graves and my people and brought you up from the graves,
Speaker 1: I will put my spirit in you, and you shall live,
Speaker 1: and I will place you in your own land. Then
Speaker 1: you shall know that the Lord have spoken it and
Speaker 1: performed it, says the Lord. What this is fascinating, isn't it.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. This kind of stuff right
Speaker 1: here is like to me is just as deep. It's
Speaker 1: so deep. It says that He's just want to let
Speaker 1: you guys know that I really didn't really get to
Speaker 1: explain that to you guys before, but if you stuck
Speaker 1: around to the end of this show, hopefully it was
Speaker 1: worth it. Dry Bones, and all of a sudden, he
Speaker 1: puts tendants sig News, which are tendants and flesh, and
Speaker 1: he breathed the spirit into them, and they're able to
Speaker 1: form an army and walk around and show up to people,
Speaker 1: this is what happened. And if you read the Book
Speaker 1: of Matthew, when Jesus died on the cross, this is
Speaker 1: how powerful it was. Okay, when Jesus was here, this
Speaker 1: was it was so powerful. And I think that a
Speaker 1: lot of people just know the surface level of what's
Speaker 1: going on theyn't know the deeper meaning behind it. So
Speaker 1: another thing that you can look up is Psalms eighty
Speaker 1: two one. I've gone over this a lot of times,
Speaker 1: where God is talking to the lowercase g gods in
Speaker 1: the congregation and he's telling them that they didn't show
Speaker 1: mercy to the poor, the needy, and all these things
Speaker 1: that they did wrong. Well, you if you study Michael,
Speaker 1: doctor Michael Heiser's work, you see what he thinks is
Speaker 1: that those gods, lowercase g gods, are sons of gods
Speaker 1: or angels or fallen angels that were looking over these cities.
Speaker 1: They made mistakes and they they were not treating people justly.
Speaker 1: And what God did was take the power away from
Speaker 1: them and gave it to Jesus when he died on
Speaker 1: the cross. Now, I don't know if that's true, but
Speaker 1: that's what he believes, and that's some of his work,
Speaker 1: but I think it is definitely fascinating to think about.
Speaker 1: And if you did stick around until the end of
Speaker 1: the show, please go to Spotify and you know comment.
Speaker 1: Let's continue reading. Now, Behold, there was a man named Joseph,
Speaker 1: a council member, a good and just man. He had
Speaker 1: not consented to their decision. Indeed, he was from Armathea,
Speaker 1: a city of the Jews, who himself was also waiting
Speaker 1: for the Kingdom of God. This man went to Pilot
Speaker 1: and asked for the body of Jesus. Then he took
Speaker 1: it down, wrapped it in linen, and laid it in
Speaker 1: a tomb. There it was hone out of the rock,
Speaker 1: and no one had ever lain before. That day was
Speaker 1: the preparation, and the Sabbath drew near, and the women
Speaker 1: who had come with him from Galilee followed after, and
Speaker 1: they observed the tomb and how his body was laid.
Speaker 1: Then they returned and prepared spices and fragrant oils, and
Speaker 1: they rested on the sabbath according to the commandment. Okay,
Speaker 1: so very very fascinating. Some of the stuff that I
Speaker 1: read to you about Ezekiel I kind of what happened
Speaker 1: was I was on somebody's show, and I was talking
Speaker 1: about that very event, and then I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: let me just go to Ezekiel and read through for
Speaker 1: you guys, and I mean for them the audience. And
Speaker 1: I started reading and then I saw that part about
Speaker 1: the dry bones, and I was like, oh, and then
Speaker 1: it says it's gonna appear to the city, the people
Speaker 1: in the city. I was like, I gotta show my
Speaker 1: Sunday Service and Wednesday service crew this and I forgot
Speaker 1: to show you guys. But hey, God is great. I
Speaker 1: still got to show you, you know. So let's see
Speaker 1: how far this goes. Okay, we got about fifteen minutes.
Speaker 1: Can we go through this Luke twenty four and then
Speaker 1: what's next after that? Oh, we're gonna finish Luke right now.
Speaker 1: Oh this is awesome, all right, cool, cool, cool, awesome, awesome, awesome. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's go. H Well, we got practical applications we got
Speaker 1: to go through though, too. I don't know if we're
Speaker 1: gonna be able to do Luke twenty four place shit, Okay,
Speaker 1: that okay, practical applications stand firm in the truth. Like Pilot.
Speaker 1: We may face pressure to conform to the world, we
Speaker 1: must stand firm and the truth, even when it's unpopular.
Speaker 1: Extend forgiveness. Jesus example of forgiving those who wronged him
Speaker 1: challenges us to forgive others reflecting his love and grace.
Speaker 1: Embrace salvation. The story of repenting thieves reminds us that
Speaker 1: it's never too late to turn to Christ and receive
Speaker 1: his gift to salvation. People need to realize that that's
Speaker 1: very important, right because some people say, oh, well, you
Speaker 1: know I did this, I did this, I did that.
Speaker 1: God will never forgive me when it's not true. Live
Speaker 1: with hope. The tearing of the temple veil signifies our
Speaker 1: direct access to God. We can live with hope and
Speaker 1: confidence and our relationship with Him. Okay, and we'll just
Speaker 1: go ahead and stop there for that, but I will continue.
Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and read Luke twenty four. I think
Speaker 1: we can kind of bust through this quickly. It's not
Speaker 1: going to be a whole in depth, dense study right here.
Speaker 1: This is just going to be the end of Luke.
Speaker 1: So I want to just go over it real quick.
Speaker 1: So he is risen now on the first day of
Speaker 1: the week, very morning in the earth, very early in
Speaker 1: the morning, They and certain other women with them came
Speaker 1: to the tomb, bringing the spices with them they had prepared.
Speaker 1: But they found the stone rolled away from the tomb,
Speaker 1: and they went in and did not find his body,
Speaker 1: of the Lord Jesus. And it happened as they were
Speaker 1: greatly perplexed about this, And behold two men stood by
Speaker 1: them in the shining garments. Then as they were afraid
Speaker 1: and bowed their faces to the earth, they said to them,
Speaker 1: why do you seek the living among the dead. He
Speaker 1: is not here, but is risen. Remember how he spoke
Speaker 1: to you when he was still in galley, saying, the
Speaker 1: sun of man must be delivered into the hands of
Speaker 1: a sinful men and be crucified, and on the third
Speaker 1: day rise again. And this is actually in red. So
Speaker 1: remember how he spoke to you when he was in gality,
Speaker 1: saying the sun of meent Wow. Okay, oh yeah, because nevermind,
Speaker 1: because he that was Jesus speaking to them. So that's
Speaker 1: why it's in red. And they remembered his words when
Speaker 1: they returned from the tomb and told all these things
Speaker 1: to the eleven and to the rest. It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary,
Speaker 1: the mother of James, and the other women with them
Speaker 1: who told these things to the apostles, And their words
Speaker 1: seemed to be like idle tales, and they did not
Speaker 1: believe them. But Peter arose and ran to the tomb,
Speaker 1: and stooping down, he saw the lion cloths lying by themselves,
Speaker 1: and he departed, marveling to himself at what happened. He departed,
Speaker 1: marveling to himself at what happened? What had happened? So
Speaker 1: I can let's see I got, you know, ten minutes
Speaker 1: or so. So let's go to Luke twenty three. Nope,
Speaker 1: we're in twenty four. Let's see any teaching points I
Speaker 1: could go over the empty tomb. The woman who visited
Speaker 1: the tomb found it empty, and the two angels proclaimed,
Speaker 1: he is not here. He has risen. The pivotal moment
Speaker 1: confirms the fulfillment of Jesus's prophecy about his resurrection. Right, so,
Speaker 1: the two men that were there were actually two angels.
Speaker 1: Whenever angels come to earth, they always come in the
Speaker 1: form of a human. That's why they say two men
Speaker 1: the road to Emmaeus. This is interesting right here. Now behold,
Speaker 1: two of them were traveling the same day to a
Speaker 1: village called a MAOIs or a moss E M m
Speaker 1: a U s, which was seven miles from Jerusalem, and
Speaker 1: they talked together all these things which had happened. So
Speaker 1: it was while they conversed and reasoned that Jesus himself
Speaker 1: drew near and went with them. But their eyes were
Speaker 1: restrained so that they did not know him. And he
Speaker 1: said to them, what kind of conversation is that you
Speaker 1: have with one another as you walk and are sad?
Speaker 1: Then one of those name was Cleophus, answered and said
Speaker 1: to them, are you Are you the only stranger in Jerusalem?
Speaker 1: Have not known the things which happen on these days?
Speaker 1: And he said to him what things? And they said
Speaker 1: to them the things concerning Jesus and Nazareth. He was
Speaker 1: a prophet mighty indeed, and word before God and all
Speaker 1: the people. And how the chief priests and other rulers
Speaker 1: delivered him to be condemned to death and crucified him.
Speaker 1: But he was hoping that he was, But we were
Speaker 1: hoping that it was he who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed,
Speaker 1: besides all this, today is the third day since these
Speaker 1: things happened. Yes, and certain women of our company who
Speaker 1: arrived in the tomb early astonished us. When they did
Speaker 1: not find his body, they came saying that they had
Speaker 1: also seen a vision of angels who said he was alive.
Speaker 1: And certain of those who were with us went to
Speaker 1: the tomb and found it just as the women said.
Speaker 1: But him they did not see. And he said to them, oh,
Speaker 1: foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe in all
Speaker 1: the prophets have spoken, ought not the Christ have not
Speaker 1: suffered these things to enter his glory? And the beginning
Speaker 1: of Moses, and all the prophets he expounded on them,
Speaker 1: and the scriptures of things concerning him. So yeah, all
Speaker 1: the way to thirty five, Jesus appears to two disciples
Speaker 1: on the road or massas, and they do not recognize
Speaker 1: him until he breaks bread with them. So let's go
Speaker 1: ahead and re read that part. The disciples' eyes open,
Speaker 1: So in Luke twenty four to twenty eight. Then they
Speaker 1: drew near to the village where they were going, and
Speaker 1: he indicated that he would have gone farther, and they
Speaker 1: constrain him, saying, abide with us, for it is toward
Speaker 1: evening and the day is far spent. And he went
Speaker 1: in to stay with them. Now it came to pass
Speaker 1: as he sat at the table with them, that he
Speaker 1: took bread blessed and broke it, and he gave it
Speaker 1: to them, and their eyes were open, and they knew him,
Speaker 1: and he vanished from their sight. Wow. And they said
Speaker 1: to one another, do not did not our heart burn
Speaker 1: with us within us while he talked with us on
Speaker 1: the road, and he opened the scriptures to us. And
Speaker 1: they rose up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem
Speaker 1: and found the eleven who were gathered together, saying, the
Speaker 1: Lord is risen. Indeed, and appeared to Simon, and he
Speaker 1: told about the things that had happened on the road,
Speaker 1: and how he was known to them in breaking of bread.
Speaker 1: So it says right here, I'm sorry. In a chapter
Speaker 1: in verse twenty seven, he says, and beginning at Moses
Speaker 1: and all the prophets he expounded to them, in all
Speaker 1: the scriptures and things concerning himself, I wish I wish
Speaker 1: we could have. I know we have a lot of
Speaker 1: the PropheC he's already known, But it would be very
Speaker 1: nice to hear that conversation right there, that part Jesus
Speaker 1: expounding on the scriptures and things concerning himself. That would
Speaker 1: be great. I would love to hear that conversation. So
Speaker 1: this encounter emphasizes the importance of spiritual insight and the
Speaker 1: breaking of bread as a means of revelation. So we
Speaker 1: have Jesus appears to his disciples. Now as they said
Speaker 1: these things, Jesus himself this is Luke twenty four thirty six. Okay. Now,
Speaker 1: as they said these things, Jesus himself stood in the
Speaker 1: midst of them and said to them, peace to you.
Speaker 1: But they were terrified and frightened, and supposed that they
Speaker 1: had seen it. They were terrified and frightened, and supposed
Speaker 1: they had seen a spirit. And he said to them,
Speaker 1: why are you troubled? Why do doubts arise in your hearts?
Speaker 1: Behold my hands and my feet. This is it myself.
Speaker 1: Handle me and see, for a spirit does not have
Speaker 1: flesh and bones, as you see I have. When he
Speaker 1: had said this, he showed them his hands and feet.
Speaker 1: But they did not believe. For But while they still
Speaker 1: did not believe, for joy and marveled, he said to them,
Speaker 1: have you any food here? So they gave him a
Speaker 1: piece of boiled fish and some honeycomb. He took it
Speaker 1: and ate it in their presence, so it reminds me
Speaker 1: of when the two angels came to Sodamega Mora and
Speaker 1: they were eating with Lot. They were able to eat,
Speaker 1: they were able to drink, they were able to grab
Speaker 1: Lot's wife, so they physically were able to do that.
Speaker 1: And Jesus is saying, do you have any food here,
Speaker 1: so that they they're like, okay, They got boiled fish
Speaker 1: and honeycomb. He took it and ate it in their presence.
Speaker 1: Very very interesting, So we have to understand that he's
Speaker 1: able to eat, you know. So he asks flesh and blood?
Speaker 1: Are flesh and bone there? Like he's it's very interesting.
Speaker 1: So that's why he says that, like he showed him
Speaker 1: his hands, his feets, why they did not believe, enjoy
Speaker 1: and marvel at him? Do you have any food, you know,
Speaker 1: so that they believe in the more? Ah so Luke
Speaker 1: twenty four, verse forty four the scriptures open. Then he
Speaker 1: said to them, these are the words which I spoke
Speaker 1: to you while I was with you, that all things
Speaker 1: must be fulfilled, which were written in the Law of
Speaker 1: Moses and the prophets and the Psalms concerning me. And
Speaker 1: he opened their understanding that they might comprehend the scriptures. Lord, please,
Speaker 1: Father God, in the name of Jesus, you show the michiock.
Speaker 1: Please open our understanding so we can understand the scriptures
Speaker 1: just like you did, so that we can comprehend the scriptures.
Speaker 1: Open our understanding so we can comprehend the Scripture's, Lord,
Speaker 1: I pray in Jesus's name, every single par and that's
Speaker 1: listening to the show, open up their understanding so they
Speaker 1: can comprehend the scriptures in jesus name. Amen, let's continue,
Speaker 1: and also me too, Lord Luke twenty four to forty six.
Speaker 1: Then he said to them, thus it is written, and
Speaker 1: thus it is necessary for Christ to suffer and to
Speaker 1: rise from the dead on the third day, and the
Speaker 1: repentance and remission of sins should be preaching his name
Speaker 1: to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And you are witnesses
Speaker 1: of these things. Behold, I send the promise of my
Speaker 1: Father upon you, but terry in this city of Jerusalem
Speaker 1: until you have endured the power from on high. So
Speaker 1: the ascension in Luke twenty four point fifty, it says,
Speaker 1: and he led them out as far as Bethany, and
Speaker 1: he lifted up his hands and blessed them. Now it
Speaker 1: came to pass while he blessed them, that he parted
Speaker 1: from them and carried it up into heaven, read up
Speaker 1: into heaven, and they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem
Speaker 1: with great joy, and were continually in the temple praising
Speaker 1: and blessing God. A men. So one thing we got
Speaker 1: to understand, that he went up to heaven. Now there's
Speaker 1: only one way up, one way down on the biblical
Speaker 1: cosmology model. All right, just letting you know the ascension, okay,
Speaker 1: So Jesus, okay, Jesus appears to his disciples. Here's it says.
Speaker 1: Jesus appears to his disciples, offering them peace and proving
Speaker 1: his physical resurrection by showing his wounds and eating with them.
Speaker 1: He opens their minds to understand the scriptures, highlighting the
Speaker 1: necessity the necessity of his suffering and resurrection, and then
Speaker 1: the ascension. Jesus leads his disciples to Bethany, blesses them,
Speaker 1: and ascends into heaven. This event marks the completion of
Speaker 1: his early ministry and the beginning of the disciples mission
Speaker 1: to spread the Gospel. What a beautiful, beautiful scene we
Speaker 1: see here. And then let's see if there's anything else
Speaker 1: in the events page. Jesus led them out as far
Speaker 1: as Bethany, lifted up his hands and blessed them. While
Speaker 1: he was blessing them, he left them and was taken
Speaker 1: up into heaven. They worshiped him to return to Jelusalem
Speaker 1: with great joy, countill he praising God in the temple,
Speaker 1: which we read he opened up the mind's understanding. We
Speaker 1: understand that we already went over that perfect We kind
Speaker 1: of went over everything I needed to go over with
Speaker 1: my notes. What I'll go over now is the practical
Speaker 1: applications you can kind of put into your own life.
Speaker 1: Embrace the resurrection. Just as the women and disciples were
Speaker 1: transformed by the news of the resurrection, we too should
Speaker 1: let the reality of this risen Christ transform our lives
Speaker 1: and fill us with hope. Yes, fill us with hope,
Speaker 1: because Jesus died on the cross for us, and we
Speaker 1: have a mediator between us and God. To be able
Speaker 1: to pray directly to the Father. We do not need
Speaker 1: to go into a temple. We don't need to go
Speaker 1: into a church. We don't need to go into a building.
Speaker 1: We don't need to have a priest speak for us.
Speaker 1: We don't need any of that. We have a mediator
Speaker 1: between us and God and Jesus Christ. He actually, you know,
Speaker 1: he made us holy. You know, there's a giant gulf
Speaker 1: between us and God because we're so unholy. But Jesus
Speaker 1: actually created a bridge for us to go straight to
Speaker 1: the Father. So that is amazing in itself. We're also
Speaker 1: forgiven for our sins, you know. For God so love
Speaker 1: the world. He gave his only begotten son, for whoever
Speaker 1: believe it in him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Speaker 1: John three point sixteen. There's just so much stuff we
Speaker 1: need to embrace here. Okay, seek spiritual insight like the
Speaker 1: disciples on the Road to Ammaeus. We should seek to
Speaker 1: recognize Jesus in our daily lives, especially through scripture and communion.
Speaker 1: Of course, we need to recognize Jesus in our lives,
Speaker 1: our daily lives, of course, and we need to read scripture.
Speaker 1: Good news. Good thing is we have this podcast. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and stop screenshare because I don't need
Speaker 1: that up. Good thing is we have this podcast and
Speaker 1: this Bible study to kind of read scripture to you
Speaker 1: and for you to understand the scriptures the best of
Speaker 1: my ability. God will just speak through me as a vessel,
Speaker 1: and hopefully it's assisting you guys be witnesses. Jesus commissioned
Speaker 1: his disciples to be witnesses of his resurrection. We are
Speaker 1: called to share the gospel and the hope of the
Speaker 1: resurrection with others. Okay, we need to share the gospel.
Speaker 1: That is like part of discipleship, right, disciples, When I
Speaker 1: want to share the gospel, message and hope of the
Speaker 1: resurrection with others, live with expectation. The ascension reminds us
Speaker 1: that Jesus will return. We should live with the expectation
Speaker 1: of his return, remaining faithful and diligent in our walk
Speaker 1: with him. For sure, A men to that. Okay. I
Speaker 1: will give you a couple additional scriptures that you guys
Speaker 1: can look up that will help you with your study.

Speaker 1: in my mind for you guys to know. Look up
Speaker 1: first Corinthians one through ten, you know, look it up.
Speaker 1: Paul emphasized the importance of the resurrection as a core
Speaker 1: tenet of the Gospel, Acts one eight through eleven. Is
Speaker 1: some other verses. I want you to go through the
Speaker 1: ascension and the promise of the Holy Spirit and power
Speaker 1: believers to be witnesses to the ends of the earth.
Speaker 1: John twenty verses nineteen through twenty nine. Jesus posts resurrection
Speaker 1: appearances to his disciples, including Thomas, reinforced the reality of
Speaker 1: his phys resurrection, and Thomas says, my Lord, my God,
Speaker 1: we'll read it. I'm gonna save that from when we

Speaker 1: seventeen says faith come with by hearing and hearing by
Speaker 1: the word of God. Lord, we're just trying to spread
Speaker 1: your gospel message. We're just trying to get people bringing
Speaker 1: these conspiracy theorists and all these Christians back to the Word.
Speaker 1: You know, that's just just what we need. We need scripture.
Speaker 1: We need verse by verse studies so that we can
Speaker 1: get closer to You until we can build our shield
Speaker 1: of faith to be able to dodge the wiles of
Speaker 1: the devil. Like Ephesian six twelve through sixteen, says, and
Speaker 1: we know that we wrestle not against flesh and blood,
Speaker 1: but principalities of evil. So we're trying to build our
Speaker 1: faith so that we can dodge the wiles of the devil,
Speaker 1: and also so that we're able to do spiritual battle
Speaker 1: against these principalities of evil that are in heavenly places.
Speaker 1: So we need your help to do that. Lord, So
Speaker 1: just break the chains of everything that people are going
Speaker 1: through right now, and just let us start from scratch.
