The Prepared King
Series: THE SERVANT KING
Speaker: Steve Jeffrey
Date: 29th April 2018
00:00:00 --> 00:00:05 I've been involved in ministry now for about 25 years.
00:00:06 --> 00:00:13 And one of the things, the overwhelming hurts that happens in ministry
00:00:13 --> 00:00:20 that I don't think, even after 25 years, you don't get over and it hurts every time,
00:00:20 --> 00:00:29 is people who make decisions, who are putting Jesus clearly to one side in their life.
00:00:29 --> 00:00:33 And you see people making decisions for something against Jesus.
00:00:33 --> 00:00:40 Or people who are confronted with real difficulty in their life
00:00:40 --> 00:00:46 and who walk away from Jesus as a result of that real difficulty
00:00:46 --> 00:00:52 because of the assumption that God's not in control or that he's not good in that moment.
00:00:52 --> 00:00:57 Either way, it's someone who once confessed a relationship with Jesus
00:00:57 --> 00:01:02 who would move away from him because of decision or because of difficulty in some way.
00:01:03 --> 00:01:06 As a pastor who wants to see people flourishing in a relationship with Jesus
00:01:06 --> 00:01:11 and putting Jesus at the center of life, that is a pain that just endures.
00:01:12 --> 00:01:17 And it has happened so much over 25 years.
00:01:17 --> 00:01:25 One thing that it's taught me is that presumption is always dangerous for anyone who follows Jesus.
00:01:26 --> 00:01:31 I, as many have done so as they've sat in churches and been Christian for years,
00:01:31 --> 00:01:35 have seen many fall away over that time
00:01:35 --> 00:01:41 because they've ultimately not understood what it is to follow Jesus,
00:01:41 --> 00:01:44 not actually understood what it means to actually be a Christian.
00:01:44 --> 00:01:49 That's partly because in the Western world especially,
00:01:49 --> 00:01:58 there's this dangerous assumption that to follow Jesus or to be Christian
00:01:58 --> 00:02:02 means that you have to work hard at being really good.
00:02:02 --> 00:02:08 And it means that you believe that God exists to serve me
00:02:08 --> 00:02:14 by helping me feel good and feel happy and feel secure and at peace in life.
00:02:14 --> 00:02:15 That's God's goal for me.
00:02:15 --> 00:02:16 That's his job for me.
00:02:16 --> 00:02:20 And also believing that even though God made the world
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22 and he controls everything in the world,
00:02:22 --> 00:02:25 he's only active and involved in the world
00:02:25 --> 00:02:29 whenever I need him to resolve a problem for me.
00:02:30 --> 00:02:33 And the rest of the time, his job is to stay out of my way,
00:02:34 --> 00:02:35 except for a Sunday, for an hour or so on Sunday,
00:02:36 --> 00:02:37 and it may be a Bible study group and stuff like that,
00:02:37 --> 00:02:41 but predominantly stay out of my way except when I need him to help.
00:02:41 --> 00:02:49 Now, the technical term for those three things is moralistic therapeutic deism.
00:02:49 --> 00:02:51 That's the technical term for it,
00:02:51 --> 00:02:57 and it's actually an heresy that has dominated in the Western world.
00:03:00 --> 00:03:07 That view of Christianity is ultimately a rejection of Jesus
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09 and a rejection of the Christian faith.
00:03:09 --> 00:03:15 It's a total misunderstanding of who Jesus is and what Jesus came to do.
00:03:15 --> 00:03:19 And so to be clear on what it means to be a follower of Jesus,
00:03:20 --> 00:03:23 we must be clear on who he is,
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26 what he came to do,
00:03:27 --> 00:03:29 and what he requires of me.
00:03:30 --> 00:03:31 You need to be clear on those things.
00:03:31 --> 00:03:35 And we've seen it in 13 weeks now,
00:03:35 --> 00:03:36 or 12 weeks now in Mark's gospel,
00:03:37 --> 00:03:40 we've seen it again and again and again.
00:03:41 --> 00:03:42 The answer to those questions.
00:03:42 --> 00:03:44 And so I'm going to kind of wrap it up
00:03:44 --> 00:03:47 as we bring a closure to this series
00:03:47 --> 00:03:50 and bring clarity on that once again.
00:03:51 --> 00:03:52 So if you've got your Bibles open,
00:03:52 --> 00:03:53 Mark 14,
00:03:53 --> 00:03:56 we're going to begin in chapter 13.
00:03:57 --> 00:03:58 And chapter 13,
00:03:58 --> 00:04:01 verses 32 to 37,
00:04:02 --> 00:04:05 set the scene for 14,
00:04:05 --> 00:04:06 chapter 14.
00:04:06 --> 00:04:08 And what you notice there
00:04:08 --> 00:04:09 is the repetitiveness
00:04:09 --> 00:04:12 of statements like,
00:04:12 --> 00:04:13 be on your guard,
00:04:13 --> 00:04:14 be alert,
00:04:14 --> 00:04:15 keep watch,
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17 don't sleep.
00:04:17 --> 00:04:17 Be ready,
00:04:17 --> 00:04:20 be alert,
00:04:20 --> 00:04:22 because what Jesus is saying here
00:04:22 --> 00:04:23 to his disciples
00:04:23 --> 00:04:26 is it's going to be tough.
00:04:26 --> 00:04:27 Now,
00:04:27 --> 00:04:28 these are the disciples
00:04:28 --> 00:04:30 who have been with Jesus
00:04:30 --> 00:04:31 and they were saying,
00:04:31 --> 00:04:32 we're with you,
00:04:32 --> 00:04:32 Jesus.
00:04:33 --> 00:04:34 And they're with you,
00:04:34 --> 00:04:35 especially Jesus,
00:04:35 --> 00:04:39 when all this powerful stuff
00:04:39 --> 00:04:42 has happened in Mark 1 to 9,
00:04:42 --> 00:04:44 where he's healed dead people
00:04:44 --> 00:04:46 and he's driven out demons
00:04:46 --> 00:04:47 and he's raised the dead
00:04:47 --> 00:04:49 and done miraculous things,
00:04:49 --> 00:04:49 powerful things
00:04:49 --> 00:04:50 and people have gone,
00:04:50 --> 00:04:50 wow,
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52 this is amazing stuff.
00:04:52 --> 00:04:53 And the disciples
00:04:53 --> 00:04:54 have kind of followed Jesus
00:04:54 --> 00:04:54 like,
00:04:54 --> 00:04:55 Jesus is with us,
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57 we're with him kind of thing,
00:04:57 --> 00:04:58 we're just kind of
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00 almost as powerful as he is.
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02 And now he's saying to them,
00:05:02 --> 00:05:05 kind of switching tone
00:05:05 --> 00:05:05 a little bit now
00:05:05 --> 00:05:06 and saying,
00:05:06 --> 00:05:07 keep watch,
00:05:08 --> 00:05:09 be on your guard,
00:05:09 --> 00:05:11 don't be afraid.
00:05:11 --> 00:05:11 Now,
00:05:11 --> 00:05:12 when everyone says,
00:05:12 --> 00:05:12 don't be afraid,
00:05:12 --> 00:05:13 you go,
00:05:13 --> 00:05:13 what do you mean?
00:05:14 --> 00:05:14 We're afraid of what?
00:05:14 --> 00:05:15 You know,
00:05:15 --> 00:05:16 and this is,
00:05:16 --> 00:05:17 don't be afraid
00:05:17 --> 00:05:18 when you're persecuted
00:05:18 --> 00:05:20 and put on trial
00:05:20 --> 00:05:21 for my sake.
00:05:22 --> 00:05:23 It's like,
00:05:23 --> 00:05:23 well,
00:05:23 --> 00:05:24 this is a tone,
00:05:24 --> 00:05:25 change,
00:05:25 --> 00:05:26 shift the gear for Jesus
00:05:26 --> 00:05:27 and then straight away,
00:05:28 --> 00:05:28 what you see
00:05:28 --> 00:05:30 as you come into chapter 14
00:05:30 --> 00:05:32 is that the chief priests
00:05:32 --> 00:05:34 and the teacher of the law
00:05:34 --> 00:05:35 are waiting to do
00:05:35 --> 00:05:37 exactly to that,
00:05:37 --> 00:05:39 to Jesus that.
00:05:39 --> 00:05:41 They're wanting to kill Jesus.
00:05:41 --> 00:05:42 So have a look,
00:05:42 --> 00:05:42 verse one there.
00:05:42 --> 00:05:43 Now,
00:05:43 --> 00:05:44 the Passover
00:05:44 --> 00:05:46 and the Feast of Unleavened Bread,
00:05:47 --> 00:05:48 which are the two major,
00:05:49 --> 00:05:53 or the major collected feasts
00:05:53 --> 00:05:54 for the highlight,
00:05:54 --> 00:05:55 if you like,
00:05:55 --> 00:05:56 of the Jewish religion.
00:05:56 --> 00:05:57 This is the pinnacle for them.
00:05:57 --> 00:05:58 This is their Christmas,
00:05:58 --> 00:05:59 Easter kind of thing.
00:06:01 --> 00:06:02 And they were two days away
00:06:02 --> 00:06:04 and the chief priests
00:06:04 --> 00:06:05 and the teachers of the law
00:06:05 --> 00:06:07 were looking for some sly way
00:06:07 --> 00:06:08 to arrest Jesus
00:06:08 --> 00:06:10 and kill him,
00:06:10 --> 00:06:11 but not during the feast,
00:06:11 --> 00:06:12 they said,
00:06:12 --> 00:06:13 or the people may write.
00:06:13 --> 00:06:15 That's their major concern
00:06:15 --> 00:06:17 is that people may write
00:06:17 --> 00:06:18 during the feast.
00:06:18 --> 00:06:19 Not the fact that
00:06:19 --> 00:06:20 they're going to murder someone,
00:06:20 --> 00:06:21 they're just concerned
00:06:21 --> 00:06:22 that people might write.
00:06:24 --> 00:06:24 Now,
00:06:24 --> 00:06:25 we already know
00:06:25 --> 00:06:26 in Mark 4,
00:06:26 --> 00:06:27 throughout Mark,
00:06:27 --> 00:06:29 that Jesus is on the death list
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31 of the power brokers.
00:06:31 --> 00:06:32 And this became
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34 their particular passion
00:06:34 --> 00:06:35 in Mark 11
00:06:35 --> 00:06:37 when Jesus pronounced
00:06:37 --> 00:06:39 judgment on the temple
00:06:39 --> 00:06:40 and the religious establishment.
00:06:41 --> 00:06:42 And so the time has now come
00:06:42 --> 00:06:44 for them to put their plan
00:06:44 --> 00:06:45 into action,
00:06:45 --> 00:06:46 but because of the feast,
00:06:46 --> 00:06:47 because they've got
00:06:47 --> 00:06:49 this major religious ceremony
00:06:49 --> 00:06:50 they've got to be partaking in,
00:06:50 --> 00:06:51 they've got two days
00:06:51 --> 00:06:53 in order to do their dirty work.
00:06:53 --> 00:06:54 It's kind of like,
00:06:55 --> 00:06:55 come on guys,
00:06:55 --> 00:06:56 quick, quick,
00:06:56 --> 00:06:57 hurry up the plan,
00:06:57 --> 00:06:58 two days to murder Jesus
00:06:58 --> 00:06:59 so that we can get to communion.
00:07:00 --> 00:07:01 Kind of seems like
00:07:01 --> 00:07:02 a bit of a disconnect here
00:07:02 --> 00:07:02 a little bit.
00:07:02 --> 00:07:06 And while they're plotting this,
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09 Jesus and his mates
00:07:09 --> 00:07:10 are in Bethany
00:07:10 --> 00:07:12 for a pleasant evening
00:07:12 --> 00:07:13 or so it would appear.
00:07:14 --> 00:07:15 And as they're reclining
00:07:15 --> 00:07:16 at the table,
00:07:16 --> 00:07:18 they witness a remarkable event.
00:07:18 --> 00:07:18 It says,
00:07:19 --> 00:07:20 a woman came with an alabaster jar
00:07:20 --> 00:07:22 of very expensive perfume,
00:07:22 --> 00:07:23 made a pure nard.
00:07:24 --> 00:07:25 She broke the jar
00:07:25 --> 00:07:26 and she poured the perfume
00:07:26 --> 00:07:27 on his head.
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30 If you flipped over
00:07:30 --> 00:07:31 to John chapter 12,
00:07:31 --> 00:07:32 verse 3,
00:07:32 --> 00:07:32 you will notice
00:07:32 --> 00:07:33 that this woman
00:07:33 --> 00:07:35 is Mary,
00:07:35 --> 00:07:37 the sister of Lazarus.
00:07:39 --> 00:07:39 Mary
00:07:39 --> 00:07:41 unexpectedly
00:07:41 --> 00:07:43 approached her
00:07:43 --> 00:07:44 reclining lord
00:07:44 --> 00:07:46 carrying a priceless jar
00:07:46 --> 00:07:48 of imported perfume,
00:07:49 --> 00:07:51 possibly a family heirloom.
00:07:53 --> 00:07:54 She breaks the neck
00:07:54 --> 00:07:55 of the flask.
00:07:55 --> 00:07:57 She pours a generous portion
00:07:57 --> 00:07:58 on Jesus' head
00:07:58 --> 00:07:59 which is anointing him
00:07:59 --> 00:08:02 as both king
00:08:02 --> 00:08:04 and for burial
00:08:04 --> 00:08:06 and then poured the rest
00:08:06 --> 00:08:08 on his feet
00:08:08 --> 00:08:08 as an act
00:08:08 --> 00:08:10 of cleansing his feet,
00:08:10 --> 00:08:11 acknowledging that
00:08:11 --> 00:08:13 she is his servant.
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16 John 12 tells us
00:08:16 --> 00:08:17 that she then
00:08:17 --> 00:08:19 humbly wiped
00:08:19 --> 00:08:20 his feet clean
00:08:20 --> 00:08:21 with her hair.
00:08:22 --> 00:08:24 She evidently
00:08:24 --> 00:08:24 had enough.
00:08:24 --> 00:08:27 this moment
00:08:27 --> 00:08:28 here
00:08:28 --> 00:08:30 was
00:08:30 --> 00:08:32 an intensely
00:08:32 --> 00:08:34 fervent
00:08:34 --> 00:08:35 expression
00:08:35 --> 00:08:36 of devotion
00:08:36 --> 00:08:37 to Christ.
00:08:38 --> 00:08:39 And in fact,
00:08:39 --> 00:08:40 as strong
00:08:40 --> 00:08:40 as an act
00:08:40 --> 00:08:41 of devotion
00:08:41 --> 00:08:42 as you will find
00:08:42 --> 00:08:42 anywhere
00:08:42 --> 00:08:44 in the Bible.
00:08:44 --> 00:08:46 this woman
00:08:46 --> 00:08:48 takes her
00:08:48 --> 00:08:49 greatest
00:08:49 --> 00:08:50 earthly
00:08:50 --> 00:08:50 treasure
00:08:50 --> 00:08:52 and
00:08:52 --> 00:08:53 with it
00:08:53 --> 00:08:54 she reveals
00:08:54 --> 00:08:55 that in fact
00:08:55 --> 00:08:56 Jesus
00:08:56 --> 00:08:57 is her greatest
00:08:57 --> 00:08:57 treasure.
00:09:00 --> 00:09:01 We can assume
00:09:01 --> 00:09:02 that she gave
00:09:02 --> 00:09:03 no thought
00:09:03 --> 00:09:04 at all
00:09:04 --> 00:09:05 to what others
00:09:05 --> 00:09:06 thought of her actions.
00:09:07 --> 00:09:08 But in verse 4
00:09:08 --> 00:09:09 we find out
00:09:09 --> 00:09:10 some of those
00:09:10 --> 00:09:11 present
00:09:11 --> 00:09:12 were saying
00:09:12 --> 00:09:13 indignantly
00:09:13 --> 00:09:14 to one another
00:09:14 --> 00:09:16 why this
00:09:16 --> 00:09:17 waste of
00:09:17 --> 00:09:17 perfume.
00:09:18 --> 00:09:18 It could have
00:09:18 --> 00:09:19 been sold
00:09:19 --> 00:09:20 for more
00:09:20 --> 00:09:21 than a year's
00:09:21 --> 00:09:21 wages
00:09:21 --> 00:09:22 and the money
00:09:22 --> 00:09:23 given to the
00:09:23 --> 00:09:23 poor
00:09:23 --> 00:09:24 and they
00:09:24 --> 00:09:25 rebuked her
00:09:25 --> 00:09:26 harshly.
00:09:27 --> 00:09:27 Again,
00:09:27 --> 00:09:28 if you go over
00:09:28 --> 00:09:29 to John 12
00:09:29 --> 00:09:30 it helps us
00:09:30 --> 00:09:30 to see
00:09:30 --> 00:09:31 that the first
00:09:31 --> 00:09:32 person to
00:09:32 --> 00:09:32 respond
00:09:32 --> 00:09:33 to this
00:09:33 --> 00:09:34 moment
00:09:34 --> 00:09:35 is Judas
00:09:35 --> 00:09:37 the man
00:09:37 --> 00:09:39 who knew
00:09:39 --> 00:09:39 the price
00:09:39 --> 00:09:40 of everything
00:09:40 --> 00:09:40 but the value
00:09:40 --> 00:09:41 of nothing.
00:09:41 --> 00:09:43 he instantly
00:09:43 --> 00:09:44 calculates
00:09:44 --> 00:09:45 in this
00:09:45 --> 00:09:45 moment
00:09:45 --> 00:09:47 wastage
00:09:47 --> 00:09:50 a year's
00:09:50 --> 00:09:51 wage
00:09:51 --> 00:09:53 possibly
00:09:53 --> 00:09:54 something in
00:09:54 --> 00:09:54 the order
00:09:54 --> 00:09:54 of $35
00:09:54 --> 00:09:55 to $40
00:09:55 --> 00:09:56 in today's
00:09:56 --> 00:09:57 terms.
00:09:57 --> 00:09:58 What a waste
00:09:58 --> 00:09:59 they rebuked
00:09:59 --> 00:09:59 this woman
00:09:59 --> 00:10:00 harshly
00:10:00 --> 00:10:01 and the
00:10:01 --> 00:10:02 original language
00:10:02 --> 00:10:02 means
00:10:02 --> 00:10:03 that they
00:10:03 --> 00:10:04 snorted
00:10:04 --> 00:10:05 their disgust
00:10:05 --> 00:10:06 like angry
00:10:06 --> 00:10:07 horses.
00:10:07 --> 00:10:13 they saw
00:10:13 --> 00:10:14 something
00:10:14 --> 00:10:15 very different
00:10:15 --> 00:10:16 than fervent
00:10:16 --> 00:10:16 devotion.
00:10:18 --> 00:10:18 Jesus
00:10:18 --> 00:10:19 comes to
00:10:19 --> 00:10:19 her defense
00:10:19 --> 00:10:20 in verse 6
00:10:20 --> 00:10:21 leave her
00:10:21 --> 00:10:21 alone
00:10:21 --> 00:10:22 why are you
00:10:22 --> 00:10:22 bothering her
00:10:22 --> 00:10:23 she has
00:10:23 --> 00:10:23 done a
00:10:23 --> 00:10:23 beautiful
00:10:23 --> 00:10:24 thing to
00:10:24 --> 00:10:24 me.
00:10:25 --> 00:10:25 Jesus
00:10:25 --> 00:10:26 was fully
00:10:26 --> 00:10:27 aware of
00:10:27 --> 00:10:27 her motive
00:10:27 --> 00:10:28 of love
00:10:28 --> 00:10:29 it was
00:10:29 --> 00:10:30 simply done
00:10:30 --> 00:10:30 and to
00:10:30 --> 00:10:31 for Jesus
00:10:31 --> 00:10:32 with no
00:10:32 --> 00:10:32 thought at
00:10:32 --> 00:10:33 all given
00:10:33 --> 00:10:33 to whether
00:10:33 --> 00:10:34 it was
00:10:34 --> 00:10:34 practical
00:10:34 --> 00:10:35 or even
00:10:35 --> 00:10:36 seen as
00:10:36 --> 00:10:36 being
00:10:36 --> 00:10:37 sensible
00:10:37 --> 00:10:38 and in
00:10:38 --> 00:10:39 fact
00:10:39 --> 00:10:39 Jesus
00:10:39 --> 00:10:41 defends
00:10:41 --> 00:10:42 Mary's
00:10:42 --> 00:10:42 action
00:10:42 --> 00:10:43 because
00:10:43 --> 00:10:44 it placed
00:10:44 --> 00:10:45 him
00:10:45 --> 00:10:46 before
00:10:46 --> 00:10:47 everything
00:10:47 --> 00:10:48 else.
00:10:49 --> 00:10:49 In fact
00:10:49 --> 00:10:50 verse 7
00:10:50 --> 00:10:50 have a look
00:10:50 --> 00:10:50 at that
00:10:50 --> 00:10:51 the poor
00:10:51 --> 00:10:52 you will
00:10:52 --> 00:10:53 always have
00:10:53 --> 00:10:53 with you
00:10:53 --> 00:10:55 and you
00:10:55 --> 00:10:55 can help
00:10:55 --> 00:10:56 them
00:10:56 --> 00:10:56 anytime
00:10:56 --> 00:10:57 you want
00:10:57 --> 00:10:59 but you
00:10:59 --> 00:10:59 will not
00:10:59 --> 00:11:00 always
00:11:00 --> 00:11:00 have
00:11:00 --> 00:11:01 me.
00:11:02 --> 00:11:02 Now
00:11:02 --> 00:11:03 Jesus
00:11:03 --> 00:11:04 is not
00:11:04 --> 00:11:04 saying
00:11:04 --> 00:11:05 in any
00:11:05 --> 00:11:05 sense
00:11:05 --> 00:11:08 you're
00:11:08 --> 00:11:08 not to
00:11:08 --> 00:11:08 help
00:11:08 --> 00:11:09 the poor
00:11:09 --> 00:11:09 in fact
00:11:09 --> 00:11:09 that's
00:11:09 --> 00:11:10 far
00:11:10 --> 00:11:10 from
00:11:10 --> 00:11:10 it.
00:11:12 --> 00:11:12 What
00:11:12 --> 00:11:12 he is
00:11:12 --> 00:11:13 commending
00:11:13 --> 00:11:13 this woman
00:11:13 --> 00:11:14 for here
00:11:14 --> 00:11:14 at this
00:11:14 --> 00:11:15 moment
00:11:15 --> 00:11:16 is that
00:11:16 --> 00:11:17 she
00:11:17 --> 00:11:18 put him
00:11:18 --> 00:11:19 first
00:11:19 --> 00:11:21 totally
00:11:21 --> 00:11:21 first
00:11:21 --> 00:11:22 she gave
00:11:22 --> 00:11:22 everything
00:11:22 --> 00:11:23 she surrendered
00:11:23 --> 00:11:24 everything
00:11:24 --> 00:11:25 to Jesus
00:11:25 --> 00:11:26 and her
00:11:26 --> 00:11:27 act of
00:11:27 --> 00:11:28 worship
00:11:28 --> 00:11:30 is insightful
00:11:30 --> 00:11:31 verse 8
00:11:31 --> 00:11:31 says
00:11:31 --> 00:11:32 she did
00:11:32 --> 00:11:33 what
00:11:33 --> 00:11:34 she
00:11:34 --> 00:11:35 could
00:11:35 --> 00:11:37 her
00:11:37 --> 00:11:37 giving
00:11:37 --> 00:11:38 her
00:11:38 --> 00:11:38 everything
00:11:38 --> 00:11:39 is going
00:11:39 --> 00:11:39 to be
00:11:39 --> 00:11:39 different
00:11:39 --> 00:11:40 from the
00:11:40 --> 00:11:40 person
00:11:40 --> 00:11:41 beside her
00:11:41 --> 00:11:41 on either
00:11:41 --> 00:11:42 side
00:11:42 --> 00:11:42 of what
00:11:42 --> 00:11:43 it looks
00:11:43 --> 00:11:43 like for
00:11:43 --> 00:11:44 them to
00:11:44 --> 00:11:44 give
00:11:44 --> 00:11:44 their
00:11:44 --> 00:11:45 everything
00:11:45 --> 00:11:47 she did
00:11:47 --> 00:11:47 what
00:11:47 --> 00:11:48 she
00:11:48 --> 00:11:48 could
00:11:48 --> 00:11:49 and
00:11:49 --> 00:11:49 Jesus
00:11:49 --> 00:11:51 throughout
00:11:51 --> 00:11:53 Mark's
00:11:53 --> 00:11:53 gospel
00:11:53 --> 00:11:53 has
00:11:53 --> 00:11:54 repeatedly
00:11:54 --> 00:11:55 talked
00:11:55 --> 00:11:55 about
00:11:55 --> 00:11:55 his
00:11:55 --> 00:11:56 death
00:11:56 --> 00:11:58 but it
00:11:58 --> 00:11:58 would seem
00:11:58 --> 00:11:59 the disciples
00:11:59 --> 00:11:59 have passed
00:11:59 --> 00:12:00 it off
00:12:00 --> 00:12:01 Mary on
00:12:01 --> 00:12:01 the other
00:12:01 --> 00:12:02 hand
00:12:02 --> 00:12:03 yielded
00:12:03 --> 00:12:03 to that
00:12:03 --> 00:12:04 teaching
00:12:04 --> 00:12:04 accepted
00:12:04 --> 00:12:04 that
00:12:04 --> 00:12:05 teaching
00:12:05 --> 00:12:07 about
00:12:07 --> 00:12:07 what was
00:12:07 --> 00:12:07 about
00:12:07 --> 00:12:08 to happen
00:12:08 --> 00:12:08 to Jesus
00:12:08 --> 00:12:11 and therefore
00:12:11 --> 00:12:11 she did
00:12:11 --> 00:12:12 what she
00:12:12 --> 00:12:12 could
00:12:12 --> 00:12:13 in devotion
00:12:13 --> 00:12:14 to Christ
00:12:14 --> 00:12:14 and in fact
00:12:14 --> 00:12:15 verse 9
00:12:15 --> 00:12:16 tells us
00:12:16 --> 00:12:17 that Jesus
00:12:17 --> 00:12:18 sets her
00:12:18 --> 00:12:19 up as
00:12:19 --> 00:12:19 the model
00:12:19 --> 00:12:20 of devotion
00:12:20 --> 00:12:22 what it
00:12:22 --> 00:12:22 actually
00:12:22 --> 00:12:24 means to
00:12:24 --> 00:12:24 be a
00:12:24 --> 00:12:24 follower
00:12:24 --> 00:12:25 of Jesus
00:12:25 --> 00:12:27 he says
00:12:27 --> 00:12:27 I tell you
00:12:27 --> 00:12:28 the truth
00:12:28 --> 00:12:29 wherever
00:12:29 --> 00:12:30 the gospel
00:12:30 --> 00:12:31 is preached
00:12:31 --> 00:12:31 throughout
00:12:31 --> 00:12:32 the world

00:12:34 --> 00:12:35 what
00:12:35 --> 00:12:36 she
00:12:36 --> 00:12:36 has
00:12:36 --> 00:12:37 done
00:12:37 --> 00:12:37 will
00:12:37 --> 00:12:38 also
00:12:38 --> 00:12:38 be
00:12:38 --> 00:12:39 told
00:12:39 --> 00:12:39 in
00:12:39 --> 00:12:39 memory
00:12:39 --> 00:12:40 of
00:12:40 --> 00:12:40 her
00:12:40 --> 00:12:43 see what
00:12:43 --> 00:12:43 Jesus
00:12:43 --> 00:12:43 is saying
00:12:43 --> 00:12:43 there
00:12:43 --> 00:12:44 throughout
00:12:44 --> 00:12:45 the world
00:12:45 --> 00:12:46 the gospel
00:12:46 --> 00:12:47 will be

00:12:52 --> 00:12:52 this
00:12:52 --> 00:12:53 woman
00:12:53 --> 00:12:54 will
00:12:54 --> 00:12:55 be
00:12:55 --> 00:12:55 the
00:12:55 --> 00:12:56 prime
00:12:56 --> 00:12:57 example
00:12:57 --> 00:12:58 of
00:12:58 --> 00:12:58 what
00:12:58 --> 00:12:59 it
00:12:59 --> 00:12:59 means
00:12:59 --> 00:12:59 to
00:12:59 --> 00:13:00 respond
00:13:00 --> 00:13:00 to
00:13:00 --> 00:13:00 that
00:13:00 --> 00:13:01 gospel

00:13:02 --> 00:13:03 means
00:13:03 --> 00:13:03 to
00:13:03 --> 00:13:03 be
00:13:03 --> 00:13:04 my
00:13:04 --> 00:13:04 disciple
00:13:04 --> 00:13:07 to
00:13:07 --> 00:13:07 put
00:13:07 --> 00:13:08 Jesus
00:13:08 --> 00:13:09 fundamentally
00:13:09 --> 00:13:10 first
00:13:10 --> 00:13:13 now
00:13:13 --> 00:13:14 the stark
00:13:14 --> 00:13:14 opposite of
00:13:14 --> 00:13:15 Mary's
00:13:15 --> 00:13:15 devotion
00:13:15 --> 00:13:15 in this
00:13:15 --> 00:13:16 text

00:13:17 --> 00:13:17 getting a
00:13:17 --> 00:13:17 picture of
00:13:17 --> 00:13:18 this in
00:13:18 --> 00:13:18 verse 10
00:13:18 --> 00:13:20 it says
00:13:20 --> 00:13:20 then
00:13:20 --> 00:13:21 Judas Iscariot
00:13:21 --> 00:13:21 one of the
00:13:21 --> 00:13:22 twelve
00:13:22 --> 00:13:22 went to
00:13:22 --> 00:13:22 the cheap
00:13:22 --> 00:13:23 priests
00:13:23 --> 00:13:23 to
00:13:23 --> 00:13:24 betray
00:13:24 --> 00:13:24 Jesus
00:13:24 --> 00:13:25 to
00:13:25 --> 00:13:25 them
00:13:25 --> 00:13:25 and

00:13:25 --> 00:13:25 were
00:13:25 --> 00:13:26 delighted
00:13:26 --> 00:13:26 to

00:13:29 --> 00:13:29 watched
00:13:29 --> 00:13:29 for
00:13:29 --> 00:13:30 an
00:13:30 --> 00:13:30 opportunity
00:13:30 --> 00:13:30 to
00:13:30 --> 00:13:30 hand
00:13:30 --> 00:13:30 him
00:13:30 --> 00:13:31 over

00:13:38 --> 00:13:38 of kingdom
00:13:38 --> 00:13:39 that
00:13:39 --> 00:13:39 Judas
00:13:39 --> 00:13:40 is looking

00:14:13 --> 00:14:14 as
00:14:14 --> 00:14:15 Jesus
00:14:15 --> 00:14:15 had told
00:14:15 --> 00:14:16 them
00:14:16 --> 00:14:16 as I

00:14:24 --> 00:14:24 it's
00:14:24 --> 00:14:25 not
00:14:25 --> 00:14:25 an
00:14:25 --> 00:14:25 accident
00:14:25 --> 00:14:25 of
00:14:25 --> 00:14:26 history
00:14:26 --> 00:14:26 it
00:14:26 --> 00:14:27 is
00:14:27 --> 00:14:27 his
00:14:27 --> 00:14:27 agenda
00:14:27 --> 00:14:31 and

00:14:34 --> 00:14:34 disciples
00:14:34 --> 00:14:36 was
00:14:36 --> 00:14:37 possibly
00:14:37 --> 00:14:37 the
00:14:37 --> 00:14:37 most
00:14:37 --> 00:14:38 important
00:14:38 --> 00:14:38 meal
00:14:38 --> 00:14:39 eaten
00:14:39 --> 00:14:40 in the

00:14:48 --> 00:14:49 Lamb
00:14:49 --> 00:14:50 who

00:14:52 --> 00:14:52 people
00:14:52 --> 00:14:53 this
00:14:53 --> 00:14:53 meal
00:14:53 --> 00:14:53 would
00:14:53 --> 00:14:54 graphically
00:14:54 --> 00:14:55 explain
00:14:55 --> 00:14:55 the
00:14:55 --> 00:14:56 centrality
00:14:56 --> 00:14:57 of
00:14:57 --> 00:14:58 Jesus
00:14:58 --> 00:14:59 to
00:14:59 --> 00:15:00 salvation
00:15:00 --> 00:15:02 this

00:15:04 --> 00:15:04 night
00:15:04 --> 00:15:04 that the
00:15:04 --> 00:15:05 devout
00:15:05 --> 00:15:05 Jew
00:15:05 --> 00:15:06 were filled
00:15:06 --> 00:15:07 with hope
00:15:07 --> 00:15:08 that God's
00:15:08 --> 00:15:08 intervention
00:15:08 --> 00:15:09 for their
00:15:09 --> 00:15:09 salvation
00:15:09 --> 00:15:10 and Jesus
00:15:10 --> 00:15:11 was not a
00:15:11 --> 00:15:12 victim of
00:15:12 --> 00:15:13 bad
00:15:13 --> 00:15:13 circumstances
00:15:13 --> 00:15:15 he was
00:15:15 --> 00:15:15 directing
00:15:15 --> 00:15:16 everything
00:15:16 --> 00:15:17 to reveal
00:15:17 --> 00:15:17 that in
00:15:17 --> 00:15:18 fact
00:15:18 --> 00:15:20 salvation
00:15:20 --> 00:15:21 is in

00:15:23 --> 00:15:24 Passover
00:15:24 --> 00:15:24 lamb
00:15:24 --> 00:15:28 in fact
00:15:28 --> 00:15:28 the words
00:15:28 --> 00:15:29 of the
00:15:29 --> 00:15:29 last supper

00:15:31 --> 00:15:31 body
00:15:31 --> 00:15:32 this is
00:15:32 --> 00:15:32 my
00:15:32 --> 00:15:32 blood
00:15:32 --> 00:15:33 of the
00:15:33 --> 00:15:33 covenant
00:15:33 --> 00:15:33 which is
00:15:33 --> 00:15:33 poured
00:15:33 --> 00:15:34 out for
00:15:34 --> 00:15:34 many
00:15:34 --> 00:15:35 make
00:15:35 --> 00:15:35 no
00:15:35 --> 00:15:35 sense
00:15:35 --> 00:15:35 at
00:15:35 --> 00:15:36 all
00:15:36 --> 00:15:37 if
00:15:37 --> 00:15:37 Jesus
00:15:37 --> 00:15:38 is
00:15:38 --> 00:15:38 not
00:15:38 --> 00:15:38 the
00:15:38 --> 00:15:39 master
00:15:39 --> 00:15:39 of

00:15:44 --> 00:15:44 is
00:15:44 --> 00:15:45 glory
00:15:45 --> 00:15:46 by way
00:15:46 --> 00:15:47 of the
00:15:47 --> 00:15:47 humiliation
00:15:47 --> 00:15:48 of the
00:15:48 --> 00:15:48 cross
00:15:48 --> 00:15:49 and it's
00:15:49 --> 00:15:49 what
00:15:49 --> 00:15:49 Mary
00:15:49 --> 00:15:50 understood
00:15:50 --> 00:15:50 and it's
00:15:50 --> 00:15:51 what the
00:15:51 --> 00:15:51 rest of
00:15:51 --> 00:15:51 the

00:15:53 --> 00:15:54 to terms
00:15:54 --> 00:15:54 with
00:15:54 --> 00:15:54 they still
00:15:54 --> 00:15:55 haven't
00:15:55 --> 00:15:55 grappled
00:15:55 --> 00:15:55 with
00:15:55 --> 00:15:55 that
00:15:55 --> 00:15:57 he

00:15:57 --> 00:15:57 the
00:15:57 --> 00:15:58 bread
00:15:58 --> 00:15:59 gives
00:15:59 --> 00:15:59 a
00:15:59 --> 00:15:59 peace
00:15:59 --> 00:16:00 and says
00:16:00 --> 00:16:01 in
00:16:01 --> 00:16:01 verse
00:16:01 --> 00:16:01 22
00:16:01 --> 00:16:02 this is
00:16:02 --> 00:16:03 going
00:16:03 --> 00:16:03 to be

00:16:07 --> 00:16:07 the
00:16:07 --> 00:16:07 wine
00:16:07 --> 00:16:08 and he
00:16:08 --> 00:16:08 says
00:16:08 --> 00:16:09 this is
00:16:09 --> 00:16:10 what's
00:16:10 --> 00:16:10 going to

00:16:18 --> 00:16:19 is so
00:16:19 --> 00:16:19 familiar
00:16:19 --> 00:16:20 to us
00:16:20 --> 00:16:21 that we
00:16:21 --> 00:16:22 do it
00:16:22 --> 00:16:22 without
00:16:22 --> 00:16:22 being
00:16:22 --> 00:16:23 moved
00:16:23 --> 00:16:23 often
00:16:23 --> 00:16:24 at all
00:16:24 --> 00:16:26 but try
00:16:26 --> 00:16:26 being
00:16:26 --> 00:16:27 sitting
00:16:27 --> 00:16:27 there
00:16:27 --> 00:16:27 in that
00:16:27 --> 00:16:28 table
00:16:28 --> 00:16:28 for the
00:16:28 --> 00:16:28 first
00:16:28 --> 00:16:28 time
00:16:28 --> 00:16:29 this is
00:16:29 --> 00:16:29 the
00:16:29 --> 00:16:29 Jesus
00:16:29 --> 00:16:30 this is
00:16:30 --> 00:16:30 an
00:16:30 --> 00:16:30 eerie
00:16:30 --> 00:16:31 event
00:16:31 --> 00:16:32 this is
00:16:32 --> 00:16:32 frightening
00:16:32 --> 00:16:32 even
00:16:32 --> 00:16:33 to hear
00:16:33 --> 00:16:34 the one
00:16:34 --> 00:16:34 who you
00:16:34 --> 00:16:35 have
00:16:35 --> 00:16:35 pledged
00:16:35 --> 00:16:35 yourself
00:16:35 --> 00:16:36 to
00:16:36 --> 00:16:36 as
00:16:36 --> 00:16:36 your
00:16:36 --> 00:16:37 king
00:16:37 --> 00:16:38 talking
00:16:38 --> 00:16:38 about
00:16:38 --> 00:16:38 his
00:16:38 --> 00:16:38 body
00:16:38 --> 00:16:39 being
00:16:39 --> 00:16:39 broken
00:16:39 --> 00:16:40 and his
00:16:40 --> 00:16:40 blood
00:16:40 --> 00:16:41 being
00:16:41 --> 00:16:41 shed
00:16:41 --> 00:16:44 this is
00:16:44 --> 00:16:44 not
00:16:44 --> 00:16:46 what they
00:16:46 --> 00:16:46 thought
00:16:46 --> 00:16:46 was going
00:16:46 --> 00:16:47 to happen
00:16:47 --> 00:16:47 at all
00:16:47 --> 00:16:51 so they
00:16:51 --> 00:16:53 finish the
00:16:53 --> 00:16:53 meal and
00:16:53 --> 00:16:54 they head
00:16:54 --> 00:16:54 out into
00:16:54 --> 00:16:55 the darkness
00:16:55 --> 00:16:55 to the
00:16:55 --> 00:16:55 Mount of
00:16:55 --> 00:16:56 Olives
00:16:56 --> 00:16:58 Judas
00:16:58 --> 00:16:58 sees this
00:16:58 --> 00:16:58 as the
00:16:58 --> 00:16:59 opportunity
00:16:59 --> 00:16:59 to slip
00:16:59 --> 00:17:00 away
00:17:00 --> 00:17:00 to betray
00:17:00 --> 00:17:01 Jesus
00:17:01 --> 00:17:03 it is
00:17:03 --> 00:17:04 quite literally
00:17:04 --> 00:17:05 the darkness
00:17:05 --> 00:17:06 it's not
00:17:06 --> 00:17:07 just that the
00:17:07 --> 00:17:07 sun has
00:17:07 --> 00:17:08 gone down
00:17:08 --> 00:17:09 but that
00:17:09 --> 00:17:10 spiritual
00:17:10 --> 00:17:11 darkness
00:17:11 --> 00:17:11 has now
00:17:11 --> 00:17:12 descended
00:17:12 --> 00:17:13 on to
00:17:13 --> 00:17:13 Judas
00:17:13 --> 00:17:15 and he's
00:17:15 --> 00:17:16 awaiting
00:17:16 --> 00:17:16 Jesus
00:17:16 --> 00:17:17 now waiting
00:17:17 --> 00:17:18 for darkness
00:17:18 --> 00:17:19 to have
00:17:19 --> 00:17:20 its moment

00:27:13 --> 00:27:13 were
00:27:13 --> 00:27:13 afraid
00:27:13 --> 00:27:14 to
00:27:14 --> 00:27:14 die
00:27:14 --> 00:27:16 they
00:27:16 --> 00:27:17 deserted
00:27:17 --> 00:27:17 Jesus
00:27:17 --> 00:27:18 because
00:27:18 --> 00:27:18 of
00:27:18 --> 00:27:19 ideological
00:27:19 --> 00:27:20 disillusionment
00:27:20 --> 00:27:22 they
00:27:22 --> 00:27:22 deserted
00:27:22 --> 00:27:23 Jesus
00:27:23 --> 00:27:23 because
00:27:23 --> 00:27:24 of
00:27:24 --> 00:27:24 ideological
00:27:24 --> 00:27:25 disillusionment
00:27:25 --> 00:27:25 the
00:27:25 --> 00:27:26 kingdom
00:27:26 --> 00:27:26 that
00:27:26 --> 00:27:27 Jesus
00:27:27 --> 00:27:27 was
00:27:27 --> 00:27:27 leading
00:27:27 --> 00:27:28 was
00:27:28 --> 00:27:28 not
00:27:28 --> 00:27:28 the
00:27:28 --> 00:27:29 kingdom
00:27:29 --> 00:27:29 they
00:27:29 --> 00:27:29 thought
00:27:29 --> 00:27:30 he
00:27:30 --> 00:27:30 was
00:27:30 --> 00:27:30 leading
00:27:30 --> 00:27:32 they
00:27:32 --> 00:27:33 were
00:27:33 --> 00:27:33 with
00:27:33 --> 00:27:34 Jesus
00:27:34 --> 00:27:35 providing
00:27:35 --> 00:27:35 that
00:27:35 --> 00:27:35 the
00:27:35 --> 00:27:36 kingdom
00:27:36 --> 00:27:36 that
00:27:36 --> 00:27:37 they
00:27:37 --> 00:27:37 were
00:27:37 --> 00:27:37 committing
00:27:37 --> 00:27:38 themselves
00:27:38 --> 00:27:38 to
00:27:38 --> 00:27:39 involved
00:27:39 --> 00:27:39 a
00:27:39 --> 00:27:39 march
00:27:39 --> 00:27:39 into
00:27:39 --> 00:27:40 Jerusalem
00:27:40 --> 00:27:41 it
00:27:41 --> 00:27:41 involved
00:27:41 --> 00:27:41 capturing
00:27:41 --> 00:27:42 the
00:27:42 --> 00:27:42 throne
00:27:42 --> 00:27:42 and
00:27:42 --> 00:27:43 the
00:27:43 --> 00:27:43 palace
00:27:43 --> 00:27:43 and
00:27:43 --> 00:27:44 the
00:27:44 --> 00:27:44 temple
00:27:44 --> 00:27:45 and
00:27:45 --> 00:27:45 that
00:27:45 --> 00:27:46 they
00:27:46 --> 00:27:46 had
00:27:46 --> 00:27:47 glory
00:27:47 --> 00:27:47 and
00:27:47 --> 00:27:48 honour
00:27:48 --> 00:27:49 at
00:27:49 --> 00:27:49 Jesus
00:27:49 --> 00:27:50 right
00:27:50 --> 00:27:50 hand
00:27:50 --> 00:27:50 men
00:27:50 --> 00:27:51 even
00:27:51 --> 00:27:51 if
00:27:51 --> 00:27:52 it
00:27:52 --> 00:27:52 meant
00:27:52 --> 00:27:52 that
00:27:52 --> 00:27:52 we
00:27:52 --> 00:27:53 gave
00:27:53 --> 00:27:53 our
00:27:53 --> 00:27:54 lives
00:27:54 --> 00:27:54 for
00:27:54 --> 00:27:55 that
00:27:55 --> 00:27:55 goal
00:27:55 --> 00:28:01 but
00:28:01 --> 00:28:01 when
00:28:01 --> 00:28:01 your
00:28:01 --> 00:28:01 king
00:28:01 --> 00:28:02 surrenders
00:28:02 --> 00:28:02 himself
00:28:02 --> 00:28:02 to
00:28:02 --> 00:28:03 death
00:28:03 --> 00:28:06 and
00:28:06 --> 00:28:07 calls
00:28:07 --> 00:28:07 you
00:28:07 --> 00:28:07 to
00:28:07 --> 00:28:07 do
00:28:07 --> 00:28:07 the
00:28:07 --> 00:28:08 same
00:28:08 --> 00:28:08 thing
00:28:08 --> 00:28:10 well
00:28:10 --> 00:28:10 that's
00:28:10 --> 00:28:10 not
00:28:10 --> 00:28:11 what
00:28:11 --> 00:28:11 they
00:28:11 --> 00:28:11 were
00:28:11 --> 00:28:11 signing
00:28:11 --> 00:28:11 up
00:28:11 --> 00:28:12 for
00:28:12 --> 00:28:15 they
00:28:15 --> 00:28:15 were
00:28:15 --> 00:28:15 with
00:28:15 --> 00:28:16 Jesus
00:28:16 --> 00:28:16 for
00:28:16 --> 00:28:16 over
00:28:16 --> 00:28:17 three
00:28:17 --> 00:28:17 years
00:28:17 --> 00:28:18 but
00:28:18 --> 00:28:19 they
00:28:19 --> 00:28:19 were
00:28:19 --> 00:28:19 not
00:28:19 --> 00:28:19 really
00:28:19 --> 00:28:20 with
00:28:20 --> 00:28:20 Jesus
00:28:20 --> 00:28:23 I
00:28:23 --> 00:28:23 think
00:28:23 --> 00:28:23 this
00:28:23 --> 00:28:23 has
00:28:23 --> 00:28:23 got
00:28:23 --> 00:28:24 something
00:28:24 --> 00:28:24 very
00:28:24 --> 00:28:25 significant
00:28:25 --> 00:28:25 to say
00:28:25 --> 00:28:26 to
00:28:26 --> 00:28:27 our
00:28:27 --> 00:28:27 consumeristic
00:28:27 --> 00:28:28 culture
00:28:28 --> 00:28:28 and the
00:28:28 --> 00:28:28 way it
00:28:28 --> 00:28:29 bears
00:28:29 --> 00:28:29 on
00:28:29 --> 00:28:29 church
00:28:29 --> 00:28:30 a
00:28:30 --> 00:28:31 consumeristic
00:28:31 --> 00:28:32 culture
00:28:32 --> 00:28:33 says
00:28:33 --> 00:28:33 first and
00:28:33 --> 00:28:34 foremost
00:28:34 --> 00:28:34 what's
00:28:34 --> 00:28:35 in it
00:28:35 --> 00:28:35 for
00:28:35 --> 00:28:35 me
00:28:35 --> 00:28:37 what's
00:28:37 --> 00:28:37 in it
00:28:37 --> 00:28:38 for
00:28:38 --> 00:28:38 me
00:28:38 --> 00:28:40 that is
00:28:40 --> 00:28:40 at the
00:28:40 --> 00:28:41 core of
00:28:41 --> 00:28:41 that
00:28:41 --> 00:28:41 culture
00:28:41 --> 00:28:42 is
00:28:42 --> 00:28:42 I'm
00:28:42 --> 00:28:42 here to
00:28:42 --> 00:28:43 consume
00:28:43 --> 00:28:43 for my
00:28:43 --> 00:28:44 glory
00:28:44 --> 00:28:45 for me
00:28:45 --> 00:28:45 for me
00:28:45 --> 00:28:46 centeredness
00:28:46 --> 00:28:46 my
00:28:46 --> 00:28:47 agenda
00:28:47 --> 00:28:48 it's
00:28:48 --> 00:28:48 me getting
00:28:48 --> 00:28:49 something
00:28:49 --> 00:28:51 it is
00:28:51 --> 00:28:51 possible
00:28:51 --> 00:28:52 in fact
00:28:52 --> 00:28:52 to come
00:28:52 --> 00:28:52 to church
00:28:52 --> 00:28:53 to sing
00:28:53 --> 00:28:53 songs
00:28:53 --> 00:28:54 of praise
00:28:54 --> 00:28:55 to pray
00:28:55 --> 00:28:55 to nod
00:28:55 --> 00:28:55 your head
00:28:55 --> 00:28:56 when the
00:28:56 --> 00:28:56 sermon's
00:28:56 --> 00:28:56 preached
00:28:56 --> 00:28:57 and yet
00:28:57 --> 00:28:58 make
00:28:58 --> 00:28:58 decisions
00:28:58 --> 00:29:00 in life
00:29:00 --> 00:29:01 that are
00:29:01 --> 00:29:01 all about
00:29:01 --> 00:29:02 pursuing
00:29:02 --> 00:29:03 my
00:29:03 --> 00:29:04 agenda
00:29:04 --> 00:29:04 it's
00:29:04 --> 00:29:04 about
00:29:04 --> 00:29:05 making
00:29:05 --> 00:29:05 much
00:29:05 --> 00:29:05 of
00:29:05 --> 00:29:05 me
00:29:05 --> 00:29:06 as
00:29:06 --> 00:29:06 opposed
00:29:06 --> 00:29:06 to
00:29:06 --> 00:29:06 making
00:29:06 --> 00:29:07 much
00:29:07 --> 00:29:07 of
00:29:07 --> 00:29:07 Jesus
00:29:07 --> 00:29:09 and I
00:29:09 --> 00:29:10 think
00:29:10 --> 00:29:10 that
00:29:10 --> 00:29:10 often
00:29:10 --> 00:29:10 for
00:29:10 --> 00:29:11 Christians
00:29:11 --> 00:29:11 it's
00:29:11 --> 00:29:11 a
00:29:11 --> 00:29:11 subtlety
00:29:11 --> 00:29:12 rather than
00:29:12 --> 00:29:12 being
00:29:12 --> 00:29:13 blatantly
00:29:13 --> 00:29:13 obvious
00:29:13 --> 00:29:15 we are
00:29:15 --> 00:29:16 so often
00:29:16 --> 00:29:16 happy to
00:29:16 --> 00:29:16 pursue
00:29:16 --> 00:29:17 God's
00:29:17 --> 00:29:18 glory
00:29:18 --> 00:29:19 so long
00:29:19 --> 00:29:19 in the
00:29:19 --> 00:29:19 process
00:29:19 --> 00:29:20 he makes
00:29:20 --> 00:29:20 much
00:29:20 --> 00:29:20 of
00:29:20 --> 00:29:21 my
00:29:21 --> 00:29:22 glory
00:29:22 --> 00:29:22 makes
00:29:22 --> 00:29:23 much
00:29:23 --> 00:29:23 of
00:29:23 --> 00:29:23 me
00:29:23 --> 00:29:25 and the
00:29:25 --> 00:29:25 subtlety
00:29:25 --> 00:29:25 is that
00:29:25 --> 00:29:26 we can
00:29:26 --> 00:29:26 be so
00:29:26 --> 00:29:27 involved
00:29:27 --> 00:29:28 in church
00:29:28 --> 00:29:28 activities
00:29:28 --> 00:29:29 that it
00:29:29 --> 00:29:29 looks like
00:29:29 --> 00:29:29 we're
00:29:29 --> 00:29:30 doing it
00:29:30 --> 00:29:30 for the
00:29:30 --> 00:29:30 glory
00:29:30 --> 00:29:30 of
00:29:30 --> 00:29:31 Christ
00:29:31 --> 00:29:32 but
00:29:32 --> 00:29:33 secretly
00:29:33 --> 00:29:33 harboring
00:29:33 --> 00:29:34 a hope
00:29:34 --> 00:29:34 that some
00:29:34 --> 00:29:35 of his
00:29:35 --> 00:29:36 glory
00:29:36 --> 00:29:37 radiates
00:29:37 --> 00:29:38 on us
00:29:38 --> 00:29:39 in such
00:29:39 --> 00:29:39 a way
00:29:39 --> 00:29:40 that other
00:29:40 --> 00:29:40 people can
00:29:40 --> 00:29:41 see it
00:29:41 --> 00:29:44 and
00:29:44 --> 00:29:45 the way
00:29:45 --> 00:29:45 you can
00:29:45 --> 00:29:46 tell the
00:29:46 --> 00:29:46 difference
00:29:46 --> 00:29:47 is when
00:29:47 --> 00:29:48 you shift
00:29:48 --> 00:29:48 the spotlight
00:29:48 --> 00:29:49 off you
00:29:49 --> 00:29:50 and how
00:29:50 --> 00:29:50 you respond
00:29:50 --> 00:29:54 it's a
00:29:54 --> 00:29:55 struggle for
00:29:55 --> 00:29:55 church leads
00:29:55 --> 00:29:55 it's a
00:29:55 --> 00:29:56 struggle for
00:29:56 --> 00:29:56 me
00:29:56 --> 00:29:58 what are
00:29:58 --> 00:29:58 my motives
00:29:58 --> 00:29:59 in wanting
00:29:59 --> 00:29:59 God to
00:29:59 --> 00:30:00 be glorified
00:30:00 --> 00:30:00 through the
00:30:00 --> 00:30:01 mission and
00:30:01 --> 00:30:01 vision of
00:30:01 --> 00:30:02 this church
00:30:02 --> 00:30:03 the reality
00:30:03 --> 00:30:04 is if we
00:30:04 --> 00:30:04 even achieve
00:30:04 --> 00:30:05 half of what
00:30:05 --> 00:30:05 we hope to
00:30:05 --> 00:30:06 achieve here
00:30:06 --> 00:30:06 as a church
00:30:06 --> 00:30:07 at St.
00:30:07 --> 00:30:07 Paul's
00:30:07 --> 00:30:10 people will
00:30:10 --> 00:30:10 make much
00:30:10 --> 00:30:10 of St.
00:30:10 --> 00:30:11 Paul's
00:30:11 --> 00:30:13 and that
00:30:13 --> 00:30:15 is the
00:30:15 --> 00:30:16 consumeristic
00:30:16 --> 00:30:16 culture we
00:30:16 --> 00:30:17 live in
00:30:17 --> 00:30:17 we don't
00:30:17 --> 00:30:18 automatically
00:30:18 --> 00:30:19 give thanks
00:30:19 --> 00:30:19 and praise
00:30:19 --> 00:30:20 to God
00:30:20 --> 00:30:20 we look
00:30:20 --> 00:30:22 to the
00:30:22 --> 00:30:22 leaders
00:30:22 --> 00:30:23 who have
00:30:23 --> 00:30:23 made this
00:30:23 --> 00:30:24 happen
00:30:24 --> 00:30:24 or the
00:30:24 --> 00:30:24 people who
00:30:24 --> 00:30:25 made this
00:30:25 --> 00:30:25 happen
00:30:25 --> 00:30:25 and praise
00:30:25 --> 00:30:26 them and
00:30:26 --> 00:30:27 elevate them
00:30:27 --> 00:30:27 instead
00:30:27 --> 00:30:31 what we
00:30:31 --> 00:30:31 must always
00:30:31 --> 00:30:32 remember is
00:30:32 --> 00:30:33 that Jesus
00:30:33 --> 00:30:33 says put
00:30:33 --> 00:30:34 away your
00:30:34 --> 00:30:36 sword and
00:30:36 --> 00:30:36 take up your
00:30:36 --> 00:30:37 cross and
00:30:37 --> 00:30:38 follow me
00:30:38 --> 00:30:41 my guess is
00:30:41 --> 00:30:42 that if we
00:30:42 --> 00:30:42 search our
00:30:42 --> 00:30:43 hearts we'll
00:30:43 --> 00:30:43 discover that
00:30:43 --> 00:30:44 it's so much
00:30:44 --> 00:30:44 easier to
00:30:44 --> 00:30:45 take up our
00:30:45 --> 00:30:46 cross and
00:30:46 --> 00:30:46 follow Jesus
00:30:46 --> 00:30:48 and be a
00:30:48 --> 00:30:49 servant when

00:31:39 --> 00:31:40 the heat

00:31:42 --> 00:31:42 him he said

00:32:09 --> 00:32:10 went through it
00:32:10 --> 00:32:10 but he says
00:32:10 --> 00:32:12 here you will

00:32:55 --> 00:32:56 the disciples
00:32:56 --> 00:32:56 in such a

00:33:41 --> 00:33:42 at Jesus through
00:33:42 --> 00:33:43 Mark's eyes
00:33:43 --> 00:33:45 and Mark is
00:33:45 --> 00:33:46 pretty clear
00:33:46 --> 00:33:47 Jesus demands
00:33:47 --> 00:33:48 an extreme
00:33:48 --> 00:33:49 response from
00:33:49 --> 00:33:50 every single
00:33:50 --> 00:33:51 one of us
00:33:51 --> 00:33:54 Jesus forces
00:33:54 --> 00:33:56 our hand here
00:33:56 --> 00:33:57 at every turn
00:33:57 --> 00:33:59 in this story
00:33:59 --> 00:34:01 this man who
00:34:01 --> 00:34:02 throws open the
00:34:02 --> 00:34:02 gates of the
00:34:02 --> 00:34:03 kingdom to
00:34:03 --> 00:34:03 everyone

00:34:06 --> 00:34:07 insiders that
00:34:07 --> 00:34:08 their place in
00:34:08 --> 00:34:09 the kingdom is in
00:34:09 --> 00:34:10 very real
00:34:10 --> 00:34:11 jeopardy
00:34:11 --> 00:34:12 without
00:34:12 --> 00:34:13 fruitfulness
00:34:13 --> 00:34:16 this is the
00:34:16 --> 00:34:16 Jesus who is
00:34:16 --> 00:34:18 constantly closing
00:34:18 --> 00:34:19 down our
00:34:19 --> 00:34:20 escape clauses
00:34:20 --> 00:34:21 and options
00:34:21 --> 00:34:24 this man is the
00:34:24 --> 00:34:24 one who is
00:34:24 --> 00:34:25 weakened by the
00:34:25 --> 00:34:26 touch of a
00:34:26 --> 00:34:26 woman in a
00:34:26 --> 00:34:28 crowd while on
00:34:28 --> 00:34:28 the way to
00:34:28 --> 00:34:29 bring a
00:34:29 --> 00:34:30 little dead
00:34:30 --> 00:34:31 girl back to
00:34:31 --> 00:34:32 life
00:34:32 --> 00:34:33 this is the
00:34:33 --> 00:34:34 man who you
00:34:34 --> 00:34:35 dare not take
00:34:35 --> 00:34:35 your eyes
00:34:35 --> 00:34:36 off
00:34:36 --> 00:34:39 the depths
00:34:39 --> 00:34:39 of his
00:34:39 --> 00:34:40 personal
00:34:40 --> 00:34:41 restraint
00:34:41 --> 00:34:43 and the
00:34:43 --> 00:34:43 heights of
00:34:43 --> 00:34:44 his power
00:34:44 --> 00:34:46 are truly
00:34:46 --> 00:34:47 incomprehensible
00:34:47 --> 00:34:48 to us
00:34:48 --> 00:34:51 he is both
00:34:51 --> 00:34:52 the rest and
00:34:52 --> 00:34:53 the storm
00:34:53 --> 00:34:54 he is the
00:34:54 --> 00:34:54 victim and
00:34:54 --> 00:34:55 the wielder of
00:34:55 --> 00:34:56 the sword
00:34:56 --> 00:34:57 and we must
00:34:57 --> 00:34:58 reject him
00:34:58 --> 00:34:59 or accept
00:34:59 --> 00:35:00 him on the
00:35:00 --> 00:35:01 basis of both
00:35:01 --> 00:35:02 of those
00:35:02 --> 00:35:02 things
00:35:02 --> 00:35:06 either you
00:35:06 --> 00:35:07 kill him
00:35:07 --> 00:35:07 or crown
00:35:07 --> 00:35:08 him
00:35:08 --> 00:35:12 it is
00:35:12 --> 00:35:12 simply not
00:35:12 --> 00:35:13 good enough
00:35:13 --> 00:35:15 to just
00:35:15 --> 00:35:15 like him on
00:35:15 --> 00:35:16 his facebook
00:35:16 --> 00:35:17 page
00:35:17 --> 00:35:19 that just
00:35:19 --> 00:35:19 simply means
00:35:19 --> 00:35:20 you have not
00:35:20 --> 00:35:21 seen him for
00:35:21 --> 00:35:21 who he is
00:35:21 --> 00:35:24 the teachers
00:35:24 --> 00:35:24 of the law
00:35:24 --> 00:35:25 at the beginning
00:35:25 --> 00:35:25 of this
00:35:25 --> 00:35:26 passage
00:35:26 --> 00:35:27 who were
00:35:27 --> 00:35:27 plotting to
00:35:27 --> 00:35:28 kill Jesus
00:35:28 --> 00:35:28 at the beginning
00:35:28 --> 00:35:29 of today's
00:35:29 --> 00:35:30 in this
00:35:30 --> 00:35:30 passage here
00:35:30 --> 00:35:32 were in
00:35:32 --> 00:35:33 my opinion
00:35:33 --> 00:35:34 dead wrong
00:35:34 --> 00:35:35 about Jesus
00:35:35 --> 00:35:36 they were
00:35:36 --> 00:35:37 dead wrong
00:35:37 --> 00:35:38 about Jesus
00:35:38 --> 00:35:39 but their
00:35:39 --> 00:35:39 reaction to
00:35:39 --> 00:35:41 Jesus makes
00:35:41 --> 00:35:41 absolute
00:35:41 --> 00:35:43 perfect sense
00:35:43 --> 00:35:45 you either
00:35:45 --> 00:35:45 bow to this
00:35:45 --> 00:35:46 man or you
00:35:46 --> 00:35:47 kill him
00:35:47 --> 00:35:47 there's no
00:35:47 --> 00:35:48 middle ground
00:35:48 --> 00:35:49 with Jesus
00:35:49 --> 00:35:50 no middle
00:35:50 --> 00:35:50 ground
00:35:50 --> 00:35:56 you cannot
00:35:56 --> 00:35:57 just simply
00:35:57 --> 00:35:57 say
00:35:57 --> 00:35:59 what an
00:35:59 --> 00:35:59 interesting
00:35:59 --> 00:35:59 guy
00:35:59 --> 00:36:04 you cannot
00:36:04 --> 00:36:05 just keep
00:36:05 --> 00:36:05 Jesus at
00:36:05 --> 00:36:06 the
00:36:06 --> 00:36:06 periphery
00:36:06 --> 00:36:06 of your
00:36:06 --> 00:36:07 life
00:36:07 --> 00:36:08 holding him
00:36:08 --> 00:36:08 there
00:36:08 --> 00:36:09 inviting me
00:36:09 --> 00:36:09 in
00:36:09 --> 00:36:09 pushing him
00:36:09 --> 00:36:10 out
00:36:10 --> 00:36:10 inviting me
00:36:10 --> 00:36:11 you either
00:36:11 --> 00:36:11 have to
00:36:11 --> 00:36:12 kill him
00:36:12 --> 00:36:12 at the
00:36:12 --> 00:36:12 periphery
00:36:12 --> 00:36:12 of your
00:36:12 --> 00:36:13 life
00:36:13 --> 00:36:13 or you
00:36:13 --> 00:36:13 have to
00:36:13 --> 00:36:14 crown him
00:36:14 --> 00:36:14 at the
00:36:14 --> 00:36:14 center
00:36:14 --> 00:36:14 of your
00:36:14 --> 00:36:15 life
00:36:15 --> 00:36:21 so give
00:36:21 --> 00:36:21 yourself
00:36:21 --> 00:36:21 to him
00:36:21 --> 00:36:23 that's the
00:36:23 --> 00:36:23 thrust
00:36:23 --> 00:36:24 of these
00:36:24 --> 00:36:25 13 weeks
00:36:25 --> 00:36:26 of mark

00:36:29 --> 00:36:31 this is the
00:36:31 --> 00:36:32 message for
00:36:32 --> 00:36:32 the devout
00:36:32 --> 00:36:33 Christian who
00:36:33 --> 00:36:33 has followed
00:36:33 --> 00:36:34 Jesus for
00:36:34 --> 00:36:34 years
00:36:34 --> 00:36:37 continue
00:36:37 --> 00:36:39 to give him
