Speaker 1: to wrap it around the scriptures that have been given
Speaker 1: to us each and every day right in front of
Speaker 1: us in a fun, unique way. So again, we're all
Speaker 1: about testimony transparency definitely on this show. Sometimes I'll shake
Speaker 1: you like that brother at that table. Sometimes the Lord
Speaker 1: will shake me as I'm reading the word. Or maybe
Speaker 1: we'll just be able to transform you through whatever God
Speaker 1: has to say to you and I Today and again,
Speaker 1: I want to let you guys know something.
Speaker 2: I don't know everything.
Speaker 1: You got that right, Hey, calm down, mister moviephone over there.
Speaker 1: You're right, I don't got it all right. I don't
Speaker 1: know it all, but we're learning together in this podcast
Speaker 1: is for me as much as it is for you.
Speaker 1: So let's take a step back now. Last week we
Speaker 1: started our brand news series.
Speaker 2: Called Bible Breakdown.
Speaker 1: Thank you, mister moviefone for that. We can't afford a
Speaker 1: you know, a cool drop where.
Speaker 2: It's like Bible Breakdown. We can't do that.
Speaker 1: So mister moviefone over here gives us the vocal stylings
Speaker 1: that we need to get you ready for today's Bible
Speaker 1: insert in life lessons. Do it one more time, mister
Speaker 1: moviefone Bible breakdown, love it, love it. Last week we
Speaker 1: started it, and today we're gonna be in the Book
Speaker 1: of Matthew. We were in the Book of Peter last week.
Speaker 1: I love Peter. He's my favorite disciple. I'm kind of
Speaker 1: like Peter.
Speaker 2: Go back and check out that episode.
Speaker 1: But in this episode we're gonna talk about Matthew. We're
Speaker 1: gonna be at the part where Jesus is arrested in
Speaker 1: the Garden of Josemite. Now to set things up, and
Speaker 1: if you're following along at home, if you have a Bible,
Speaker 1: great follow us. If you don't, get a Bible app
Speaker 1: on your phone, if you're non believer and you're an
Speaker 1: atheist and you're still sticking around, you feel that pool
Speaker 1: come in, I know, just continue to follow with us.
Speaker 1: Here today we're gonna be in chapter twenty six, verses
Speaker 1: forty seven through fifty six. And now, I know your
Speaker 1: non believers out there, when you hear all that, you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is gonna take forever.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: We're gonna paraphrase it a little bit today. Okay, we're
Speaker 1: gonna cliff notes version, but we're gonna hit some keynotes
Speaker 1: as well. This is why it's imperative for you to
Speaker 1: have a Bible or maybe just a Bible app on
Speaker 1: your phone like I do as well. But let's give
Speaker 1: you a little bit of setup. Okay, let's kind of
Speaker 1: go back to where we're at. We're in the garden
Speaker 1: of Josemite, right, They just got ready to have their
Speaker 1: last supper together as disciples at the table. Judas had
Speaker 1: already gone to the priests and Sadducees to set up
Speaker 1: a little bit of a let's call it a roadblock,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe a setup. Yeah, definitely a setup. Let's
Speaker 1: call it a setup. We'll keep it like Good Fellas
Speaker 1: Gangster for us, all right. I told you we're gonna
Speaker 1: wrap scripture around your world, my world, and the collective
Speaker 1: world around us. So let's make it like movie for him.
Speaker 1: Here's Judas. He goes to this Sadducees and Pharisees because
Speaker 1: they were going to pay him some money to turn
Speaker 1: his back on Jesus and let them know where Jesus
Speaker 1: was going to be so they can arrest him. Well,
Speaker 1: they're sitting at the table Judas and the other disciples
Speaker 1: along with Jesus, and Jesus says, guys, one of you
Speaker 1: are going to betray me tonight. One of you are
Speaker 1: going to stab me in the back now again paraphrasing.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine if you're the one that did it,
Speaker 1: if you're Judas, have you ever done this with a
Speaker 1: friend where you know, oh, they did something wrong and you've.
Speaker 2: Called them right out right.
Speaker 1: You're like Mark or Jony, I know you did this.
Speaker 1: But Jesus is so Robert de Niro esque sitting at
Speaker 1: this table of all his disciples, and he's like, one
Speaker 1: of you will betray me tonight. This just sets in
Speaker 1: that anxiety, that depression, that dark side inside of Judas,
Speaker 1: which he had already been feeling once he accepted the
Speaker 1: money and he walked out of the temple to go
Speaker 1: back to the garden and have dinner. The disciples are
Speaker 1: at the table saying, it's not me, it's probably you.
Speaker 2: It's me, it's you.
Speaker 1: Remember, disciples are humans like you and I. They fought,
Speaker 1: they loved, they argued, and at the table that night,
Speaker 1: you know they had to have been saying something. And
Speaker 1: Jesus is like, listen, I need to go out into
Speaker 1: the garden and pray for the time of the hour
Speaker 1: is coming for things to happen, based he said paraphrased again,
Speaker 1: And he just wanted his disciples to pray for him.
Speaker 1: And when he went into the garden, he came back
Speaker 1: and saw that his disciples were sleeping, and Jesus showed
Speaker 1: anger here like he did in the courtyard with the
Speaker 1: tax collectors in the Bible. He said, are you still
Speaker 1: sleeping and resting?
Speaker 2: Look?
Speaker 1: The hour has come and the son of Man is
Speaker 1: delivered into the hands of sinners. Did you hear that
Speaker 1: he's already prophesizing that these people were coming to take
Speaker 1: and arrest him.
Speaker 2: Rise, let us go.
Speaker 1: Here comes my betrayer. He even called his betrayer as
Speaker 1: he walked near him, And it's Judas. Now we get
Speaker 1: into chapter twenty six, verses forty seven through fifty six.
Speaker 1: While he was still speaking Judas, one of the twelve
Speaker 1: arrived with a large armed army that was actually sent
Speaker 1: from the chief priests and the elders. Now the betrayer
Speaker 1: had arranged a signal with these men. It would be
Speaker 1: a kiss on the cheek, by the way, and this
Speaker 1: would point out who Jesus was and who they were
Speaker 1: looking for to arrest. Jesus sees Judas, and Judas walks
Speaker 1: over to Jesus and he looks like he's all excited. Greetings, Rabbi,
Speaker 1: Greetings rabbi, and then kissed him, and in.
Speaker 2: Verse fifty, Jesus shows grace.
Speaker 1: Jesus replied, do what you came for?
Speaker 2: Friend? Would you do that today?
Speaker 1: This is about grace and faith. Do you have enough
Speaker 1: grace when something bad is going on in your life,
Speaker 1: or you've been harmed against to show grace? Maybe someone
Speaker 1: broke up with you, Maybe you lost a job to
Speaker 1: a boss you didn't quite like. Would you ever say
Speaker 1: to that boss? Listen, I understand that the world has
Speaker 1: to make cuts. Don't let us be a bother to you.
Speaker 1: I'll be fine. No, what do you say when you're fired?
Speaker 1: You say things I can't even say on the podcast
Speaker 1: right now? Okay, because this is a biblical show, All right, that's.
Speaker 2: What you do. We all do it because we're human.
Speaker 1: That light is in a ball inside of us, waiting
Speaker 1: to burst out. But when we go through anguish and
Speaker 1: pain wronged by someone, it's hard to show grace. Sometimes
Speaker 1: and Jesus shows it right here. Chapter twenty six, verse
Speaker 1: fifty of Matthew, Jesus replied, do what you came for, friend.
Speaker 1: Then the men step forward and seize Jesus and arrested him.
Speaker 1: And this is where Peter, this is kind of an
Speaker 1: extension of last week's show I talked about Peter. Peter
Speaker 1: Man was the rock for Jesus. I mean, Jesus even
Speaker 1: called him my rock. Peter loved Jesus so much, but
Speaker 1: even denied Jesus three times, just like we do. We
Speaker 1: deny Jesus daily, believer or non believer, we deny him daily,
Speaker 1: but he's still right there loving us. So Peter at
Speaker 1: this moment pulls out his sword and cuts an ear
Speaker 1: off of one of the Roman guards and one of
Speaker 1: the men that came to arrest Jesus. And in verse
Speaker 1: fifty two, Jesus has put your sword back in its place,
Speaker 1: Jesus said to him, for all who draw the sword
Speaker 1: will die by the sword. So, in other words, in
Speaker 1: this verse, anytime you show negativity or harm towards someone,
Speaker 1: what happens harm comes back to you. This wraps right
Speaker 1: back to verse fifty right there, do what you came
Speaker 1: for friends showing grace. Then two verses later, here's Peter
Speaker 1: trying to cut off an ear. He didn't even hear
Speaker 1: what Jesus said in verse fifty None of us do.
Speaker 1: When we skip over that verse, we read this as
Speaker 1: it's a story.
Speaker 2: We don't read it.
Speaker 1: In the context that it has to be. Do what
Speaker 1: you came for, friend. Then we go to two verses later.
Speaker 1: Jesus is in an altercation, and he's basically looking at
Speaker 1: Peter like a big brother. And if he could have
Speaker 1: took him by his robe and shook him for a moment,
Speaker 1: he might have and said, put your sword back into
Speaker 1: its place. Those who live by the sword will die
Speaker 1: by the sword. How many of us are quick to
Speaker 1: pull out our swords, our quick wigged tongues, our silver
Speaker 1: tongues to slash someone down in a heartbeat that have
Speaker 1: harmed uffs. You may not have a physical sword on
Speaker 1: you to harm someone, but your words cut like a
Speaker 1: hot knife through butter. You've heard that phrase right. We
Speaker 1: have to put our silver tongues away from time to time.
Speaker 1: We have to bite our tongue and show grace. Verse
Speaker 1: fifty three. Do you think I cannot call my father?
Speaker 1: I love this, and he will once put at my
Speaker 1: disposal more than twelve legions of angels. But how then
Speaker 1: would the scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen
Speaker 1: this way? Bounce back for a minute. Here, he's basically saying,
Speaker 1: you don't think I can call on my dad to
Speaker 1: bring my boys from heaven to take care of this situation. Now,
Speaker 1: that shows the lack of faith that the disciples had.
Speaker 1: They forgot that everything needed to be prophesied. This moment
Speaker 1: had to happen. There's something happening in your life right
Speaker 1: now that has to happen good, bad, or ugly. But
Speaker 1: you have to find that silver lining by walking with
Speaker 1: Jesus today in order to figure it out. Jesus is
Speaker 1: calling you right now saying, walk with me, Walk with me.
Speaker 1: I'm showing you grace, show others in your life grace today,
Speaker 1: and I'll show you why this is happening. It's not
Speaker 1: a punishment that you're going through what you're going through.
Speaker 1: I don't know what that punishment is today. But right
Speaker 1: there he even says, don't you think I can't call
Speaker 1: my dad to come get these people. Remember when we
Speaker 1: were kids. I'm gonna go get my dad so Jesus
Speaker 1: is saying, but the disciples even forgot about that. Then
Speaker 1: he goes on to say, but how would the scriptures
Speaker 1: be fulfilled? You hear that phrase, if you're a believer,
Speaker 1: non believer, this has to happen. We have to go
Speaker 1: through these things in life in order to learn right.
Speaker 1: You've heard that phrase before. Well, here it is biblically.
Speaker 1: But how then would the scriptures be fulfilled?
Speaker 2: That say?
Speaker 1: It must happen in this way? In that hour, Jesus
Speaker 1: said to the court, am I leading a rebellion, that
Speaker 1: you have to come out with swords and clubs to
Speaker 1: capture me. Every day I sat at the temple courts teaching,
Speaker 1: and you did not arrest me. You had your opportunity,
Speaker 1: he said, right then and there. But this has all
Speaker 1: taken place that the writings of the prophets might be fulfilled.
Speaker 1: They could have arrested him at any time. They could
Speaker 1: have took him anytime they wanted to. But this moment
Speaker 1: in time happened for a reason. To put forth all
Speaker 1: the things you're going to see later. When he was beaten,
Speaker 1: spit upon, killed, put on a cross for our sins.
Speaker 1: This moment had to happen, this minuscule moment, this arrest
Speaker 1: had to happen. So Katie, what does that have to
Speaker 1: do with me today? I want you to have faith
Speaker 1: enough that something is happening in your life today for
Speaker 1: something that is to come. It's hard to see the
Speaker 1: future when we're dwelling so much in the present and
Speaker 1: allowing the opposition to put these rocks of anxiety and
Speaker 1: depression on us, and anger and hurt and just keeps
Speaker 1: dumping these rocks on us to make us feel heavy
Speaker 1: to the point where we can't come out of that grave. No,
Speaker 1: this is your opportunity. This is your opportunity to call
Speaker 1: upon the Lord and say, Lord, this had to happen,
Speaker 1: show me why it had to happen, and please give
Speaker 1: me the strength to get out of it. And he will,
Speaker 1: he will. He believes in you that much, just like Peter.
Speaker 1: Peter denied him three times. Peter cut a Roman ear
Speaker 1: off right, then Jesus went and healed that that Roman guard.
Speaker 1: Let's stop there for a minute. Jesus went over and
Speaker 1: fixed the guy's ear. All of those men could have
Speaker 1: let Jesus go, because they all could have followed Jesus
Speaker 1: and believed in everything they saw because of that miracle,
Speaker 1: but they didn't. The moment had to happen. A death
Speaker 1: in your family had to happen. A death of a
Speaker 1: baby had to happen. You putting a needle in your
Speaker 1: arm had to happen. Me going through what I went through,
Speaker 1: drugs and rocket roll in entertainment and losing my first
Speaker 1: wife and having a rickety relationship with with my elder
Speaker 1: son had to happen. So my current generation of sons
Speaker 1: and hopefully my grandson see I even said hope, I
Speaker 1: should have the faith enough to know that Jesus Christ
Speaker 1: himself will pull my eldest son and his family out
Speaker 1: of obscurity to follow the Lord. But guess what, I'm
Speaker 1: human those words slip and say hope. I know my
Speaker 1: youngest sons are out of it because they're following Jesus.
Speaker 1: I don't know my other son's walk. I don't know
Speaker 1: my grandson's walk. All I can do is be a
Speaker 1: light and have that faith and grace that Jesus showed
Speaker 1: everybody in his arrest. In the final line of this verse,
Speaker 1: where Jesus is being arrested, Jesus says, or Jesus doesn't
Speaker 1: say it ends with then all the disciples deserted him
Speaker 1: and fled. Oh, I want that to set in for
Speaker 1: a minute. So let's cliff notes version it. He was
Speaker 1: stabbed in the back, he showed grace. There was anger,
Speaker 1: he showed grace again.
Speaker 2: He showed that this had to happen.
Speaker 1: He showed faith right there. He even showed everybody, you
Speaker 1: could have arrested me at any time. You could have
Speaker 1: killed me at any time. You could have followed me
Speaker 1: at any time, but you chose not to. But it
Speaker 1: had to happen for a reason. And then all the
Speaker 1: disciples anyway deserted him and fled. We do this daily,
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, constantly. We do this daily where we
Speaker 1: just go ahead and we abandon Jesus. We abandon him
Speaker 1: even when he does all this great stuff, and it
Speaker 1: seems like we have lack of faith. Right we're human.
Speaker 2: He knows that.
Speaker 1: He just wants us to continue to come to him
Speaker 1: and show this love love toward him. That's what he
Speaker 1: wants to see. And this is your opportunity right now.
Speaker 1: How he showed grace. He wants you to show grace
Speaker 1: on that situation in your life that may be holding
Speaker 1: you down. Maybe grace to yourself. I don't always show
Speaker 1: myself grace. So this is your opportunity right now.
Speaker 2: To show grace.
Speaker 1: Faith man, faith, to know that something had to happen,
Speaker 1: so you can come out on the other side of it, stronger, deeper,
Speaker 1: and more advance than you'll ever be by just following Jesus.
Speaker 1: He's telling us this there and the disciple still left him.
Speaker 1: We'll all fault right there, Romans, we all fall short
Speaker 1: of the glory of God. We love saying it here
Speaker 1: on the show. That's another verse in the Bible, from
Speaker 1: the Book of Romans that is the biggest will fall
Speaker 1: short moment right there. We'll see in the Book of Matthew,
Speaker 1: then all the disciples deserted him and fled. Don't desert
Speaker 1: him today. For those of you that are still here,
Speaker 1: thank you for hanging out with us. This is your
Speaker 1: opportunity right now to really start a new relationship with Christ.
Speaker 2: It really is.
Speaker 1: It's really your opportunity, your moment to start things with
Speaker 1: the Lord.
Speaker 2: And how do you do that? Well, have you ever prayed? Oh?
Speaker 2: Oh the p r A y word.
Speaker 1: No, I haven't, Katie. Well, this is your chance. I'll
Speaker 1: help you. All you have to do is close your
Speaker 1: eyes and repeat after me. He just wants your heart.
Speaker 1: He knows what you want to say. He knows what
Speaker 1: you're gonna say. I know what you're thinking. Then why all, Well,
Speaker 1: my wife may know I love her, but I need
Speaker 1: to tell her I love her to grow the relationship.
Speaker 1: Jesus is doing the same thing right now, knocking on
Speaker 1: your door constantly saying I'm here. I'm not leaving. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna camp right out on this door till you open
Speaker 1: up and say come on in. And this is that
Speaker 1: come on in moment. So just repeat after me if
Speaker 1: you want more faith, more grace, more power, more love,
Speaker 1: more understanding in your life, just like Matthew Chapter twenty six,
Speaker 1: Verses forty seven through fifty six, that Jesus showed, this
Speaker 1: is your time. Dear God, repeat after me. Dear God,
Speaker 1: I come to you in the precious name of Jesus
Speaker 1: and the Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord for this day,
Speaker 1: Thank you for new life.
Speaker 2: Dear Lord.
Speaker 1: I can't do this on my own anymore. I fall
Speaker 1: short of the glory of God daily.
Speaker 2: But I believe in you.
Speaker 1: I believe that you were born, that you rose. You
Speaker 1: also died for our sins, and that you rose on
Speaker 1: that third day for your victory and mine. Dear Lord,
Speaker 1: make me new cleanse me of my sins right now,
Speaker 1: Walk with me and allow me to walk with you
Speaker 1: until my end of days. Make me your personal Lord
Speaker 1: and Savior. We love you, Lord, I love you Lord,
Speaker 1: and we pray in the precious name of Jesus.
Speaker 2: Amen. It's called the Romans Road.
Speaker 1: Look it up, pray it to him, Talk to him.
Speaker 1: But if you just said all that, welcome to the Kingdom,
Speaker 1: what do I do nar next? Well, get your nose
Speaker 1: in that Bible. Guys, we'll see on the flip side
Speaker 1: for another Bible breakdown next week.
Speaker 2: God bless y'all and take care.
