John 18:1–11
[1] When Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples across the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, which he and his disciples entered. [2] Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples. [3] So Judas, having procured a band of soldiers and some officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, went there with lanterns and torches and weapons. [4] Then Jesus, knowing all that would happen to him, came forward and said to them, “Whom do you seek?” [5] They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.” Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them. [6] When Jesus said to them, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground. [7] So he asked them again, “Whom do you seek?” And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.” [8] Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. So, if you seek me, let these men go.” [9] This was to fulfill the word that he had spoken: “Of those whom you gave me I have lost not one.” [10] Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's servant and cut off his right ear. (The servant's name was Malchus.) [11] So Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword into its sheath; shall I not drink the cup that the Father has given me?” (ESV)

I would be reading John 18 it's actually some everyday working through my church for almost over a year now and this is the survivors we precisely can so I'm bring you guys I read right we need to work so John 18 year ago when Jesus had spoken these words he went out with his disciples across the Kidron were there was a garden which he and his disciples entered now Judas who betrayed him also knew that place Jesus often met there with his disciples so Judas having procured a band of soldiers and some of the officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees went there with lanterns and torches and weapons then Jesus knowing all that would happen him came forward and said to them who you seek they answered him Jesus of Nazareth and Jesus said to them I am he Judith you betrayed that came was standing with them when Jesus said to vampires teenager back and they fell to the ground so yes it again: you seek and they said Jesus of Nazareth Jesus responded I told you that I am he so if you seek me that these men go this was to fulfill the word that Jesus had spoken of those whom you have given me I've lost not one then Simon Peter having a sword drew it struck the high priest servant and co-op is right near the service name is Marcus so Jesus said to Peter put your sword into its sheath shall I not drink the cup of the father has given me as previous father we come to hear word as your children week we know you've not left us as orphans but used to power the spirit inspired the word so that now when we hear the word we hear your words are very words and God would you use a broken vessel tips to move me out of the ways that you would come to how profoundly and clearly God you would move us from the darkness towards light from doubt towards faith from unbelief to trust from anxiety towards anchoring our hope in Jesus me the preaching of your word not return void but create in us a response of repentance and faith so we so definitely the Holy Spirit to shine the light of Christ today in our hearts and to make its presence palpable in real and tangible so is spirit we beg you if you don't move if you don't work nothing of eternal significance actually take place tonight so is. This is utter dependence on you now to lead us towards Jesus and Lord Jesus that lead us to the father and embraces Trinitarian God with your whole love we pray in Jesus name God's people said a man was my #number for two hours are here having observed the art Rick so there is a very oxidized show to my church when I preach this docudrama best explain already heard of Jean Botham and what he did a couple weeks ago make maybe you haven't heard about a year ago a man named Bob thumb was killed in cold blood as he sat in his apartment dear doing wrong it was just a regular day for him but an off-duty cop an off-duty officer named Amber Geiger walked into what she says she thought was her own apartment shot him because she thought he was an intruder and he died tragedy tragedy everyone was so rightly so increasing justice Justice Justice is wrong there's wrong Jean Botha needs Justice and many said it was it was race for you know it was it was inspired by racism and and so the optics of terrible she was a white cop he was a black man did nothing wrong to set his apartment and and and and and he was killed he was dead and people were talking about adjusting crying for justice and and and something happened a year after this event took place last week in a courtroom that was profoundly significant aiming out of her but I think so clearly displays the gospel of Jesus and want to bring it to you Brett bought some a gene's brother sat at a hearing with a actually convicted and there would be given a sentence as he sat there he was allowed to greed and enter to speak to this person with killed and taken her brother as he sat there he said to her I do say something to you that I was in and avoid prepared to say he looked her in the eyes and he said I don't know that my family can be fully okay with this but I want you to know but I love you I love you like I love anyone else that I forgive you and my hope is that this would become a moment where you begin your life to Christ because that's what my brother would've wanted you giving and surrendering your life to Jesus and then he looked at the Johnson and his mouth began to quiver and tears filled his eyes he said can I hunger was a sure is appropriate another protocol he did note the courts they were all about justice would allow for a criminal and and and though was the person was deeply hurt by that crime to come together reconciliation so we set again please please and the judge not knowing what to do said yes you can so he leaves the stand and is get down the stance he embraced her and together they wept in the middle this courtroom and need to know that does not take place without the power of the gospel only the gospel truth enemies into family right only one gospel at the profound ability to turn some deeply wounded and that hurts you and turn you into how to make you and into someone who loves them only the gospel can create life from death the profound work of all of the Gospels and the just to again and again to death the trail greed and power hungry self-righteousness into an occasion for life forgiveness love and beauty to thrive only the gospel can produce this and here we are John chapter 18 and and and and you guys had an attractive to his book like my church has on you to give some context but essentially Jesus has been talk about this hour this hour is coming my hour is coming and he is talking about is our and in some ways this hour that every other hour in human history has been leading up to it is the moment of all moments the world all hours of the time for Christ to be crucified at this hour that uses been talking about is now among the people at the moment everyone in the book of John's been waiting for a chapter 18 and I want I want God's war to set the stage for you they sometimes we think the Gospels don't really tell us the gospel but if you read well and you really would like to see is the again and again and again work work with a substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus is so clear and so palpable so obvious and so I want set the stage for you and here's going to do when you pay attention to every little detail of this bill of this well-written letter because the reality is it's there so much intention behind every word and every detail and there there's as a goal and an intention and so look at the first person in John chapter 18 verse one Jesus had spoken these words he went out with the disciples where there was a wide a garden this is interesting to me it is really interesting to me that if I I left leg and I say word association game garden biblical by difficult garden you hereby have one of the mentors I've been around church you grub what you know okay there's even was the other one anyone the Sammy right everyone knows is only to garden the Bible Lakers got a lot of bargains I bought one of those two so every other gospel writer met department they all name this garden but John doesn't we why John is the last gospel writer of the four so he knew what Barnett was and yet he was the anonymous I need to tell you this is intentional this is a rhetorical device that the gospel writer John is using to communicate in a very profound to us seek in order to understand that we need to see that he's done this before for instance and John chapter 3 went went when Jesus encounters this Pharisee dizziness Nicodemus and Nicodemus comes at night and his name Nicodemus means the champion the conquering one in the People's champ and easier on behalf of the darkness at night to try the shaman for Jesus into his place to put approved to Jesus that he doesn't know what's going on into the debate genes into submission right and so his name is actually because of his lineage of people who are a conquering people were military people and so the name nicotine is a very significant societal something about the person and and here's another way that we know this is been used in the book of John in the gospel of John you'll never know that Jesus mother is named Mary we all know that right Mary is uses mother you wouldn't know it if you only read the Gospel don't because never once is Mary named Mary and the gospel don't don't you always called the mother of Jesus so why pastor because he's trying to contrast that with the Ministry of the relationship she is has with his mother with the relationship beyond the have a father and constantly whenever they come into the scene of John's John website when you hear mother of Jesus I want to think father God in heaven this is a waste of the whole book and not anemone matters is the rhetorical devices trying to get us to know something every time you use the name or doesn't username is very intentional these okay I get it there is there something going on what is going on in in in this particular person wider than the name and what you need to go back to the very first book the very first verse in the gospel of John worth it in the beginning was the word now we've heard those phrases before that phrase come from in the beginning Genesis chapter 1 verse want to write at the start of the gospel writer John is saying to us what what what happening in Christ was happening in the ministry of Jesus is a new Genesis we are starting a new creation was happy of God is making all things new to the ministry work and person of this man the word God made flesh Jesus Christ he still is) the starting game as a lens to read the Scriptures lit when we can't with where were intensity okay I want to see Genesis in this book again and again and again and again so now now why is the gospel being anonymous with his garden because he doesn't want to think Gethsemane he wants you to think in now it is historically to send me don't get me wrong is not an agent but was using it so you are asking which biblical garden are we talking about and really the answer is the biblical garden the garden with God was betrayed by man and so like I read that I'm not even kidding man when I was studying this I went and like I don't normally do that when studying but just reading that first verse pick me like a freight train because I said I stop me right in my tracks when I realized that he was God walking into a garden again that he knows to be betrayed again by man and even to do it because Satan in their working and trying to to destroy the work of God in this world the happiness of the right place if the very first story of our Bible Adam Kiki listens to Satan rebelled against God in a garden and here is Judas who was been filled with Satan representing the presence of Satan and here is Jesus the new Adam the second Adam but also the one who represents God got an adamant his new biblical garden creating the new Genesis and God will be betrayed again over something is so powerfully different about this garden about this new Genesis is a listen something is Valley different about this encounter in this garden you want to know what it is in the first garden death came from life but in this at an anti-life came from death but in this garden out of death will come life it is the ultimate reversal this garden everything that took place in adverse garden diapers Genesis is now fading away an incoming breaking in this new world this new Genesis this new creative work and it starts right here any garden significant later on John Metellus if you're reading well you that those double things are going to post off to this mindset is Intel's number one business that Jesus crucified garden mellowing and it is in itself that Jesus was resurrected and his tomb was in a garden and you probably never realize this but millinery sees Jesus resurrected from the great what you think he is a gardener some years like all you don't like that like Augustus Gartner I get it right now now I the only racist of motivation a good now okay but what happened is Mary and another device on me have time since but I got to his brilliant Mary John is such a good writer Mary says truth in ways that she's negatively aware of the get a lot in John before speaking to night and realized the stop profound as to what they're saying was you look at Jesus at all your the gardener she was right but not in the way she thought the she was seeing the new Adam in his new Genesis 11 happens all over John it's a really it's beautiful that have eyes to see if the security are in this anonymous garden and and and and the reason I wept the resident move because I can't believe the guy did it again got moved into our garden again no need to be betrayed again taking it again in the face and don't be mistaken this is no this is no sort of identity theft kind of crime this is very intimate and personal you sometimes people still your identity or something or is coming a nameless crime are you really know who is doing it know this is personal the verse two tells us that Judas betrayed him he knew the place where they would meet the Judas is in his inner circle I know your secrets right I do know your domain got a friend in Atlanta I know what you gone through which grown up with I been around you for years I seem to solve Lazarus raised from the grave dissolved water turned into wine holiday we already saw this old ministry of Jesus taking place in front of his eye and that he still decide to turn his back on Jesus and that's like to get something as Judas the one who betrayed Jesus there's due to someone which rages because it was so shocking known expected it kind of reminded me of the movie the matrix and owners in the matrix I love the matrix gone and lots of you have industry of Soviet ligament with the matrix site it's a story about these robots to take over the world and what they do, in a post-apocalyptic world they jiggled the world and took all the humanity mankind into these robots and so the real world is is all like the cane and broken and messed up with the world they plug you into looks like art will very beautiful very normal it's a false reality that and so what happens is there's this discounter rebellions is resistance to find out that they're living in a fake world so people find out how to unplug from the state world into the real world and so this little group is a remnant of people starting to fight the robots to take back the power to do to get to remake the new middle of the state world anymore and so it is really like it was not a biblical imagery and it actually at Neo means new music this price figure this one was promised and profit from from the in a long time ago to save the world right and so that this is one thing in and in and about the ruin it for you is not a watch it go up in spoiler alert #so what happens is one of the guys is been unplugged turns around and makes a deal with the robot does plug me back into machine white my memory and make the King I could care less alter my back and all these guys that this crucial moment in the movie is enciphered he turns his back on everybody and begins to kill people from his own crew one by one by unplugging them if you plug them they die and so he be as unplugged all their brains is killing his whole crew and cliffhanger I do know what happens you want to know but you know but it's so crazy because the guy who betrayed who do betray the group of friends that he was with guess what he knew what reality tastes of like and still beside turn his back that's the level of the trail here it's someone to train friends some of his teeth in seeing that the Lord is good said no thank you object 30 pieces of silver instead I need you to know the CNC you may come every week to this church may go to church every week in a center for VBS celebration of life you may go visit they usually do all this great ministry you may get right up them. See Jesus and still not know him and that's true of Judas and could be true of the true of you so tonight that's not play games ago I was so so is that this this this come to to ourselves before God and lets a man with getting to me no games is Judas he played games his whole life of the ministry of Jesus and then turned his back and walked away from this is intimate betrayal friends this is personal it is very actively personal and without the universal betrayer the decedent was presently conversely Judas he got the soldiers some officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees and they went there with lanterns torches and weapons the Judas is there an end John chapter 13 tells that that Satan is entered Judas so Satan is like representing the demonic forces of the world okay he is a band of soldiers so Pilate said with a detachment of soldiers so Brohm is present with these soldiers and then the Pharisees are than is out of the Pharisees it's it's the Temple police the people, make sure everything was going right at Temple there there as well so we have present the whole world the universal everyone and everything betraying Jesus it's if the world powers of Rome the religious powers of the Jews and the demonic powers of Satan all been different against God himself betraying him and in the word greater detachment is a certain word that they would use to describe a bus of army about 1000 people now sometimes it wasn't as big a threat they would send around 200 but were still talking about 200 people here to to to to to get Jesus is one man that one man is only shown himself to be a very path that he hasn't bought anyone right Jesus isn't going on in the charities just you just preach and the first 200 soldiers Temple police and Satan himself here to do great affront against this man and they speak and they say this Jesus knowing all that happened him came forward to them and incessant whom do you see that Jesus is the one initiating another greatest front of the trail here to the image I want to get you actually this commentator said that it's so beautiful he said that although bear coming towards Jews with this great big army he says they are hopelessly outnumbered by one I is also me say this unit sometimes you're in a situation you're in your back your back against the wall the zeros and your back against the wall you're counting using out in August in and up for my good for this certainly looks like I'm in trouble Kate Jesus was there before you work he was backed up against the wall and if he had shrunk he's calm the trust that God happens back to know that he can move forward in strength and courage and confidence doing what the father asked him to do because at the end of a guy has though he standing hopelessly outnumbered because he's not the one outnumbered no note they are the one outnumbered by the one really you know everywhere your matters is that it does knowing was then be placed upon him the Greek says what can be placed upon you and if it's the judgment of the world in fact just another like to be doing that opinion for this ministry is not a bit chapter 19 what is the crown of, native thorns ever ask why thorns is what comes out of the ground when Adam sends bones of vessels so here is the second Adam taking the curse of Adam onto his head he literally crowned with the judgment of Adam on his head and that's what makes McCain's crowning achievement is to take the curse of Adam onto his head gene of know that upcoming and in light of knowing that the coming you if I'm there like piece of Jesus as a Jesus steps forward to the fight and asks he initiates encourage you boldly asks hey who are you seeking were you seeking as he steps forward these companies grade is now this shocked me because the be honest I'm kind of coward man I am I going to try to be cool like tough but like the down lamp, Alabama three that like do it allow me remember who it is argument that I out I'm not in a faith that God had not exactly got worse because I have a baby now you know Emily Anne and I had a big malignant baby and mostly her I was there I supported it was yes ability to allow the work of the dinner without her thoughts and but like leading up to have his baby I was so freaked out so freaked out like after having nightmares nightmares are rational made no sense what the most silly night as I had that terrified me was I I had the my mother to take when my baby for me and the reason why good love the baby pops out the doctors living is about to talk much about it until the room the driving man ever like nervous was going on the doctor come back to Dr. says on you guys about parent it's your fault that the baby the baby as cavities and I want like a baby data means that only like you don't block the Vietnam as I relied working with CVS is coming the baby cannot be put in your care because clearly you don't care about the baby in my care of the baby like yes Sodomite freak out by the eye cavities and then his addresses sure how my dream when I remember so clearly I look to my mother lives you like cry like you singing at any right shame email and out of the… To the family were in a hottie donut at my wife regularly like I reality my baby baby like her :-) without good to do that I might call God take the baby comes to irrational fear I have that sometimes so that you have irrational fear may not be at silly but there's something you're scared of us mere like man this is really coming up against this scares me and to God got looking your fear be like seriously that I'd like to see if you don't know like common provide for you your word about what church and then ascended to there were about what kinds are going to that and got even not to belittle your fear but he says baby dream fear in our length dear that the phenomenal when you put your trust anchor your heart in a God was softening cares nothing the number one command Scripture do not fear do not fear here's Jesus obeying that Scripture in the moment when anyone would be justified to running in terror just steps up to the plate police seek what a hero verse five Jesus of Nazareth Jesus said to them I am he and Judas betrayed him a standing with a couple days ago on Judas is standing with and if this is more than just worried that location with it saying he standing on the betrayers side and a half will you seek into Jesus of Nazareth now they always give your naming according to those infected tell a lot about you for instance when trying to classy people away from my own name is Joe I'm from LA I what if anything like streak of not only the little that I might like what you from Mike and Joe from content of the van to those to mean very different things in a thing I want be like and unlike how cellular it's true the word where you're from tells a lot about you right and so the Jesus of Nazareth is really looking for a specific person and his response to who he is and where he's from by saying a few words and great I am they're what why that significant exodus 33 that the person of God three not just telling everyone I am he liked where you what the doctors and I have I am he proclaiming his name but it's origin he's telling everyone I from heaven and I am here to represent God and I and he is sheer and for this reason the verse five says when when when when the engine Jesus of Nazareth and Jesus said to them I am Heber six they drew back and they fell to the ground he stamped his first name and eight all irony can charge your was winning this battle is really the one outnumbered who was the one on their heels who was the one falling on their face is the Army of people here to get I need you to hear the Jesus Christ is in the is no victim he is not a victim and if you are in Christ you are not a victim dear culture love them to make victimization is currently I'm a victim of this am a victim of that I'm a victim of this is what I think you are too rich to be poor you're too blessed to be pitied you are too victorious to ever be a victim in Christ we are more than conquerors CNC you are no victims YOU know what I thought you know how to perpetuate up with the help perpetrated against trend of step by that's it significant in fact I would encourage you to go to people you should love you through that my heart breaks my here those situations where I want to proclaim over your life is bit is victory because of the Christ is saying Victor so he steps up to the plaintiff I and he proclaiming victory in that situation and they all fall to the grant it, like there'll been Philippians 2 yet oblivious to wonder every tongue will confess every knee will bow and say that he is Lord without even realizing it name they may fall on their face and prostrate worship so here are the options you got RIC is a you can bow or you can do about it and learn… Since are very good options really you don't when you say his first name which has power and you do it and so it's it's crazy does this old attachment is whole army of peoples up against them and their other faith their other face we need to not get traveled about small things fighting over parking spot disagree with them on Facebook, ever a disagree with my baseboards are so right, convert to Jesus by night no one right because I have faith whatever you have say like I guess about whatever the point is like social media we get so frazzled all these little things unlike you remember the year that either the King is one picture victorious you happen to like I scared all the time when you're actually on the winning side I verse 67 Jesus asked again whom you seek visages of Nazareth and you said to I told to than the pathologist like can I look at the one cannot hate you get up get your lantern come on tell me crucify me the scope and I got an hour ago yeah you're right Jenna movie action along and look at verse eight cents man this is good if you seek me that these men go and this was that the fill the word that he had spoken of those whom you gave me have not lost one get here I'm really again of peace if we let these men go this is still the word that he is spoken of those we gave me of not one I forgot I measured you got it but that's the gospel when Jesus says there's I go down my friends go for the gospel just told us the gospel he just showed us the gospel substitutionary heroic sacrifice I go down to my friends go free on stepping up to the plate but they don't have to that is the gospel of Jesus Christ Brandon is like like this is really the crux of every hero for every hero stories I go down my friends go freak I show up and say because liberty building but I thought that every euro movie ever it's running towards the fire turning towards the fight is running towards them all jerseys approaching mob think I go down my friends over a various friends you go free because he went down Batman Batman so clearly shows the November that meant you would like Joker and I like the like really like masochistic
like I could like the dark Knight are right it is in dark night your merit as a character named Harvey Dent because EaseUS politician who was December to related guys in the kitchen cleanup… What happened to start thinking like Soto compromises and then eventually leads to havegetting burned off and he becomes this character that we know in in-line you know the Batman's late world as a two-faced and his evil villain and two faces literally has to base is won by the likes smiling was it looks no condiments and evil answer he is billions Embodying in some ways how we all can be right you say one thing to do another human saying that the hypocrisy is called being two-faced and we all cannot have this even in our best intentions that we want to be good like like Harvey Dent the realities were altered his right developer and a family limited as they are now rightly I told my chairs leg) is like to get your brother I swear you know the okay of user child will tell you not to do without a sense well we all do not inconsistent with it wanting to another were speaking outside the side of her face is called to face that's literally what Harvey Dent is but here's the thing about to face is all the people don't know that is to basic the politician and the Norfolk often took to really you know move forward as the city they need a fall guy because Harvey Dent is his hero in their mind that they find out how crooked MSW is the otherin politics and in that big but the good of the city and so what happens is Batman is criminalized he takes the fall for Harvey Dent he takes the fall for four to or as he says it you either die a hero or you lived long enough to see
right now… I does that minutes, you can hardly for parties yet parties outcome in the 11th but you do die or you belong your diet hero become little enough to become a villain here's recent all take the fall for two face so that now people can transfer his guilt to me that listen listen Batman is quick and becomes a criminal so the criminal can become a hero gospel your criminal Christ the hero becomes a criminal that you will criminal to become a hero's UN saying gospel I go down my people go free that is so fundamentally transforming the transform the way you interact in this world as a Jesus and in fact we might even say this this conflict is less what the world is doing to Jesus and more what Jesus is doing for the world very little very little to do with how their comedic Christ and everything do with how Christ is coming to work for them on their behalf verse 12 says the band of soldiers and their And offices the Druze arrest Jesus and a bind him the bind of sacrifice that significant the same guy languages using they were taken animal to be sacrificed at the altar Jews being bounded it at the Passover feast will kill Anna's blood would go everywhere and his blood would be spread anyway it would be a way of same sin requires a sacrifice here is Jesus was being bound to sacrifice being taken to be sacrificed and as he does something happened significantly diverse 10 Simon Peter has us ward he draws it out she writes the high priest serving WhatsApp is right here and Jesus said temperature Schwarzer sheep shall not drink the cup of fathers given to me this is good art is so good man so member I said every name matters not just matters is the same root Hebrew for King so here's one evening sky like keenly related and is related to the high priest now you probably would knows of your involvement during that time. There is another high priest who he was actually disqualified from his office the reason lies because his ear was named yet a cut off here and so that he could it be a precinct because nor to be appraised you had to be in good standing of the purity of the be unblemished is what they would say because the priest job is suspended between two people and bring them together into relationship after the priesthood the high priest cannot be blemished it you need an innocent parties are bringing them together so this is, when you're small and you want your even act like a wonderful day and then you want your friend to come over to your house so it even it is a my mom if you are outside the elevator that right I did that last week in my life and Brett understood as a great active income over a Google insights of light of what is likely to do is asking a mediator to come in between you and another person could you come and say they cannot know she's a year ago she can hit both of us understood no utile represent us and our interests and Stephen get this done something to send in a mediator really setting up a standard between you and so the person or another example mouths going up on my parents but always sound inaudibly as all the hyper could I knows graded but incredibly that I know we are we changed the evolution right so I was a really I forget and I always was like five minutes into the roach of having to be bears like literally be like go be and I would not want to do it, I find it I wanted inside runaway and so I'm little what I will happen as I told I don't but up going to cry big fight village of the car how does it have to go every time so my bears as a start like it else I read I do that I realize IL is bad to do this those one time or not once but several times I realized I took my little brother to tell that he had to go to the restroom they would get magazines like barely but I'm not applicable regulate that they do nothing the lethargy on my display has a way that I hear little babies also I would go into neither have you smiling over the dear tell mommy got go because they mind out of the Internet design is inspired by the people over and out like I'll take in a very valid bigamist often my dad liking as they do you know of another I swear Glavine and I was good because he was innocent until the one day my brother messed up is what job the deep enough of his last continental peas that I know the go no no judgment came on my house that I write brilliantly. What will I doing I was asking somebody to stand in my places become my behalf to get what I want to optimize images of present at the place so so in order to be that person got it as a Gotti. The unblemished so I please cannot have a cut off here this time. They are your blemished and so so this guy named Marcus in hyperspace serves the high priest so when Peter draws his sword on cuts opposite the batting I know you been told that I know I'm growing up you know we were the BBSs and peters subsection people's toy top of his virulent right I know we hear that right like actually do not miss the he's hitting exactly struck an exact marked that he wants because it's not an active of defense it's an act of defiance he's making about religious and political statement he saying under senior high priest the traffic by Jesus and the machine hybrids get crazy what is Jesus I was Jesus a put your sword away isn't this the cup the fathers given any there's the King the servant the high priest he been shamed Melissa appearances that's me on the servant I'm the king I am the high priest who must be shaped not him that's my cop if you try to fight your way out of this with your little nice the little St. Peter it's ridiculous I have to go down this is my job this is why I came I am the priesthood must be shamed I'm a servant of God must be put in and shame I am the king must be crowned with shame at me at my job that's my ministry is why I'm here that's my cop to give it to him I will let you in fact the time to show you for the rest of the chapter for these know maybe next 1215 versus this question starts happening in in the dialogue wherever it were really that if you're reading well it says that this management minus takes Jesus and inserts interrogating these the high priest limits is an enigma type is the high priesthood women at that we're talking on a Cyprus is on his archive visits if one of the honest father-in-law and if you know what churches treatment of it yet vital to our priest is like the Godfather family of high priest and Antiochus was one of the people in that family but that really when you're reading the text if you really you, women whose the hot who's the high priest at the question he basking really like the Caiaphas is it on a similar think of this as they were going to the high priest tells the benefits is its type this is the high priest and also those and all of a sudden the cut is really confusing as a lot of people who read the Bible were like secular people don't leverage is a redundant high contradiction that libraries know John is doing it on purpose John is literally doing opportunities trying to confuse us because he wants the reader to look at this and say when a minute the high priest exactly exactly if the one in chains is the one you're beating slowly or mocking he's the high priest he wants to staff his diapers these trying to did move us to ask this question do we identify the true eyepiece is Jesus and not these of the two men playing games right factors is ironic question cassette by the high priestess interrogate Jesus and then that the rest of Texas does Jesus talking click here as I priest just like they keep on the like is the jargon asking questions and then Jesus estimates how snarky I guess you so they you don't let my people out of the doctor myself and the documents among this in value.the high priest is so ironic because the reader want to say is that how you treat the high priest the whole thought to describe out for asked the question who was the high priest and friends we know the answer it's the one in chains is the one in chains see author of the Scripture author of the Scripture we know we know the gospel requires someone to go down for some of the abuse of the hope when the sacrificial system is a hope with a high priestly ministry it is because someone must go down and sacrifice as someone is to go for it they're supposed to be like this happens even in beauty and the beast together is being viewed in the beast I artfulness photocatalytic crush on Bell my life I I not live-action like the cartoon which is kind of weird but she's as beautiful girl right inside a now who is intelligent and has it really can character what happens is her dad is on this trip one day right in the Disney version and what happens he gets captured by this horrible beast and you know what happens she goes to the beast sheets she makes a deal to says, he set him free and all he goes green on the boondoggle for him on injured to the sale Eagles three and so the beast thinks about desires for so so the active of substitutionary sacrifice takes place words she goes into the cell becomes the prisoner and he has to go. I guess they go free while later on at the end of the movie if you remember spoiler alert number two Justin if you have disabilities cannot I I did a movie intellectual the bistro they come to fight him and and what happened this it is guest on us trying to the shielding of the bees and is the beast who now must stand up and fight the battle in place of beauty on her behalf to become a step sent and fight and he executes his life fighting but but but he didn't set off that whenever you start up like eating like that Mike on the monotherapy with terrible person like is all mean remember right but but when he does that active of substitutionary heroic sacrifice something significant happens in the story to remember we doubt that he's killed in battle and it is still the battle is languor bell is crying over him and then he suddenly transforms into prints why because what happened was the beast that saw substitutionary sacrifice and he was so moved that it literally transformed him into a hero going to give his life in place of others and he became a substitutionary sacrifice and when that happens you move for becoming a beast to be beautiful does the gospel of Jesus Christ when he said I go down to you both read it makes you to the sort of person who's going to go down and sacrifice so your friends can live for its life what kind of community with UCB if people start to look not towards her own is between serving others look at a community with C&C be it in setting inward focus your outward hearted and your desire was to let the gospel so saturate every part of your life every thought you had every word in your mouth that you became the sacrificial loving person was moving away from from from beastly medicine ugliness towards beauty and attractiveness this is what I want to move us all towards this is the whole point of what Jesus Christ came to doing the I need to know since either that all throughout John he's trying to get us to see the Jesus went down single free so his friends to go free the late that's not even an assignment beautiful enough because Romans five Thomas is not his friends and offering it's his enemies it's way more profound Romans five says you might die for what are your best friends if you're really good person they were really the person you might die for them but no one is time for their enemy except Jesus so just as all go down you go freeze not talk about his friends going for it is as although down thy enemies can go free and that active loving sacrifice transforms the heart of his people to move from enemies to family this is your good news he went down to you or his enemy said she would be transformed into his family take hold of this that saturate every part of your being so you now become a sort of person on the given sacrifice for the sake of others Alamogordo for Jesus the Gospels beautiful so compelling so beautiful you transformed us back to substitutionary sacrifice you in our place fighting our battles being a hero going out that we can go for you deliberate as he removed or changed you remove the scales from her eyes you put a song in our heart you so saturated transformed this and now we can worship you fully and freely I pray for CNC they would be community marked and shaped by the good news of Jesus Christ not selfishly pursuing their own agenda for pursuing your agenda namely the gospel for anyone in this room was like Judas spent a lot of time with Jesus but doesn't quite know Jesus that tonight make it be the night with it may make that turn they come to grips with what's really taking place the condom into a deeper more true connection or more deeper more authentic fellowship and do this in his community for the sake of your name in this Valley
