The NIV puts it this way, says 37 00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:06,120 And Jesus leading in the way. And Jesus went before them. 38 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:11,640 And they were amazed. And as they followed, they were 39 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:17,360 afraid. And he took again the 12th and 40 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:23,760 began to tell them what things should happen unto him, saying, 41 00:04:24,280 --> 00:04:29,960 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man shall be 42 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:35,040 delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes, 43 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:40,760 and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to 44 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:46,840 the Gentiles, And they shall mock, and shall scourge him, and 45 00:04:46,840 --> 00:04:51,280 shall spit upon him, and shall kill him. 46 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,400 On the third day he shall rise again. 47 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:05,640 And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying, 48 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:12,800 Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever 49 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:18,880 we shall desire. And he said unto them, What 50 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,960 would ye that I should do for you? 51 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:29,720 They say unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit one on the right 52 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:34,600 hand, and the other on the left hand, and in thy glory. 53 00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:41,160 But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask, Can ye 54 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:46,800 drink of the cup that I drink of, and be baptized with the 55 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:52,800 baptism that I am baptized with? And they said unto him, We came. 56 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,960 And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup 57 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:02,480 that I drink of, and with the baptism that I am baptized. 58 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:08,640 Whither shall ye be baptized? But to sit on my right hand, and 59 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:14,600 on my left hand is not mine to give, but it shall be given to 60 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:21,840 them for whom it is prepared. And when the 10 had it, they 61 00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:28,800 began to be much displeased with James and John, verse 42. 62 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:34,480 But Jesus called them to him, and said unto them, You know 63 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:40,480 that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise 64 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,800 lordship over them, and their great ones exercise authority 65 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:49,240 upon them. But so shall it not be among 66 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,040 you.

And. 77 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,120 Wherever we are able to stop today because of the second 78 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,680 aspect of our activity service today, the rally. 79 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:09,040 We will pause there. Trust in the Holy. 80 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:23,200 Spirit to bless our souls. We are celebrating today. 81 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:30,080 Which is popularly. Called the triumphal entry of 82 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:40,520 Jesus. To Jerusalem. 83 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:45,400 Is a very, very important event in the Christian calendar. 84 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:58,040 The manner of the procession with which Jesus enter into 85 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:03,240 Jerusalem looks like a very royal procession. 86 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:12,880 How do you worry baby as I share a Toby James Jerusalem. 87 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,960 But in reality. It. 88 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,600 Was actually a match into suffering. 89 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:36,320 It was a reality. It was a reality, a match into 90 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:40,240 suffering. So the entire. 91 00:09:42,240 --> 00:10:02,560 Thing look antithetic royalty. With all the paraphernalia of 92 00:10:02,560 --> 00:10:12,040 royalty. Response of the congregation 93 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:17,520 without a formal rehearsal. It looks. 94 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:27,520 Like a divine orchestration. Not a. 95 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:32,640 Formal mobilization. We are. 96 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:39,800 Going to Jerusalem, into Jerusalem. 97 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,080 And. His followers were following. 98 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:48,280 Him. Stopped. 99 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:56,120 Go get a court if anybody asks you why are you losing. 100 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,080 To. Tell the person that the. 101 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:06,200 Lord needs it. It was divinely arranged. 102 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,440 And everything Look. Very. 103 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:22,680 But what happened afterwards was against royalty. 104 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,440 Or Taco Penny or Bangla. So. 105 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,760 The journey he made into Jerusalem that. 106 00:11:29,680 --> 00:11:39,800 Day. Joyous it was a rugged with joy. 107 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,640 There. Was a proclamation. 108 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,000 There were declarations. There. 109 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,520 Were confessions by the. People by the fact that there 110 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,480 was. Some opposition. 111 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,720 The. Oppositions couldn't stop the. 112 00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:10,200 Joy that was exhibited. But at the end of the day. 113 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,240 What? Became of the one that entered 114 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,800 into Jerusalem in Royalty does not point to royalty. 115 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:26,880 He entered. Into. 116 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:36,280 Jerusalem to suffer? If you read. 117 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:42,680 Your Bible very carefully. Every other person may miss it. 118 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:48,160 And when? But he knew what was. 119 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:55,640 Happening. Before he entered. 120 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,440 Into Jerusalem. Jerusalem. 121 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:03,680 He had taught his disciples about his passion, about the 122 00:13:03,680 --> 00:13:14,320 suffering he's going to face. In Jerusalem. 123 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:22,360 In fact, in that Gospel according to Saint Mark. 124 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:28,960 In no way in reality, Mark. He talked about this suffering 125 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:35,280 nothing less than three times. Also Nepal EDI you codini E 126 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:39,480 Bameta. The first time he talked about 127 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,280 it is in Gospel According since Mark chapter 8. 128 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,560 And when he mentioned it in Mark chapter 8. 129 00:13:51,680 --> 00:13:54,480 Never see you on man who lay you know where, Mark. 130 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,520 Peter said never. That will not happen to. 131 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,880 You when there is opening line line and then you initially see. 132 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,960 Then in Mark Chapter 9. Never where Mark he. 133 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:14,360 Mentioned it again, then the all the disciples behave as see what 134 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:25,400 was saying did not concern them. They started to argue on who is 135 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:30,080 going to be the leader or the cheapest among them. 136 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:43,240 After Jesus. Where we read now in chapter. 10 137 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,440 is. The tough time that Jesus talked 138 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,800 about his passion about what will happen to him in Jerusalem. 139 00:14:55,200 --> 00:15:01,760 And. My attention is drawn again to 140 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,080 the response of the disciples this tough time. 141 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:16,160 Me see woman in the 1st. Instance it was Peter that said 142 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:21,080 that will never happen. And. 143 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:27,120 Jesus addressed that. Jesu 2nd. 144 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,600 Time the entire team were divided. 145 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,480 They were They started to contest for the position for 146 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,400 first position. Who will be the. 147 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:44,800 Leader. Who will be the leader now? 148 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:47,760 Jesus addressed that one as well. 149 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:53,360 This. It was the brothers in his team, 150 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:58,680 James. They tried. 151 00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:10,240 To play a fast one this time, Yes, we are not taking the first 152 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,640 position here. Now we. 153 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,880 Want to take advantage of your debts? 154 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:21,920 That will. Be to your right and to your 155 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:29,720 left in the Kingdom. That sounds a little. 156 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:34,760 Spiritual isn't it? But still self-centered. 157 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:42,120 And later beyond tell me Hallelujah we. 158 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,840 Will come, we will come to that. Our baby. 159 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:53,720 So we found Jesus. He knew very well what would 160 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:58,680 happen to him in Jerusalem. So he taught them over and over 161 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,080 and over again. In Mark alone. 162 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,760 He mentioned it to them clearly three times. 163 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:20,880 This is telling us something. And then before. 164 00:17:21,839 --> 00:17:25,839 People started to wave the pan from in chapter. 165 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,800 In chapter 10, Cross was the. Focus. 166 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:42,720 Cross the cross. Was the focus. 167 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,040 The redemptive work of Christ was the focus. 168 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,400 In Chapter 9, the redemptive work of Christ was the focus. 169 00:17:55,920 --> 00:18:01,800 In chapter. 8 The redemptive work of Christ. 170 00:18:03,120 --> 00:18:07,960 Was the focus. This is telling us something. 171 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:17,040 Redemption is not free. Redemption is costly. 172 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,880 DLA. Salvation is not cheap. 173 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:28,000 Ibala of. Salvation is sacrificial. 174 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:35,640 Ibala, our DLA, Lori. It costs the senior is life to 175 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:42,200 save us. So as I. 176 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,880 Mentioned we'll be looking very closely at the price of. 177 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:57,120 Redemption, but let's go. Back to this text again. 178 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:02,960 Jesus was on the way to Jerusalem. 179 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:09,400 Just one Jerusalem. And he had told these disciples 180 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,760 over and over again that he was going to suffer. 181 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:24,040 He was going to. When he sat on that journey to 182 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:31,040 Jerusalem, the manner in which the Bible described this 183 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:37,120 movement in verse 32. Is a. 184 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:47,600 Is a purpose. It was a purposeful journey, it 185 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:54,120 was a deliberate journey, it was a courageous journey. 186 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:59,880 It. Is one of those few texts where 187 00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:03,400 the Bible would describe Jesus going with his disciples and 188 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:15,920 saying Jesus leads the way. It was like. 189 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:20,520 A jolly look. Nothing is stopping this 190 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,120 mission. Nothing is stopping this 191 00:20:22,120 --> 00:20:31,400 assignment. If you read that verse. 32 Very 192 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:35,400 carefully. Look. 193 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,440 At the way the Bible describes the position of his followers. 194 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:46,480 And. The Bible talks about them being 195 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:50,880 afraid. They were amazed. 196 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:53,440 They followed. Him. 197 00:20:53,720 --> 00:21:00,560 One time they were afraid the. People that were following him 198 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:04,160 were amazed at his charge towards Jerusalem. 199 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:23,600 They were. Afraid what will be the 200 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:27,400 experience of this man, the experience of this team when we 201 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:33,520 get. To Jerusalem, but the. 202 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:42,400 Bible now said in the midst of this Jesus. 203 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,800 Pulled the 12th aside. And he? 204 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:57,120 Began to lecture them again. And. 205 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:04,480 What was he telling them? The Bible says he told them. 206 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:10,040 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man shall be 207 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:14,640 delivered unto the chief priest and unto the scribes, and they 208 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:19,040 shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the 209 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:23,760 Gentiles, and they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and 210 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:28,400 shall spit upon him, and shall kill him, and on the third day 211 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:33,440 he shall rise again. Then. 212 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:40,000 He was not discouraged to go. He was. 213 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:49,000 Charging towards the cross and. He was not afraid because. 214 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:54,280 That is the reason he came. To the world. 215 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,840 As he was discussing this crucial subject with them, Bill. 216 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,680 Or. The matter of the reason he came 217 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,320 to the world. Or. 218 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,400 That is the redemption of mankind. 219 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:23,840 Or Mariah. The buying back of mankind, back 220 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,440 to God. I repented dying in your 221 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:27,960 paddock. See and. 222 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,680 He was talking about what it will cost him. 223 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:40,480 Look at what he listed that it. Will cost him, but you know. 224 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,440 He did not make any mistake. He was very clear about. 225 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:51,400 It. The redemption of your soul, the 226 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,800 redemption of my soul, the redemption of the soul of 227 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,280 mankind will cost him one betrayer. 228 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:05,560 I'll repeat that, Father Emilia ITMMA on Tiyona Jesu 1. 229 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:12,000 I want your dallery. 2 Condemnation. 1. 230 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:18,480 Idiare 3 Mercury. One Pi Vishalaya. 4 Scorching. 231 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,480 1. And fight death. 232 00:24:24,120 --> 00:24:31,160 And as he was. Saying this, it is a surprise 233 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:40,440 that in this very serious moment, James and John. 234 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:45,440 Could. Only think of how to interrupt 235 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:54,720 this critical teaching. How to? 236 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:59,120 Interrupt this very passionate disclosure. 237 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:07,880 And they? Interrupted with a request. 238 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:14,600 Once you. Requesting for. 239 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:21,600 Glory. They were thinking about crime 240 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,640 when Jesus was thinking about the cross, that. 241 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:38,940 Was a. Huge distraction. 242 00:25:43,660 --> 00:25:49,420 Jesus. Was thinking about the cross. 243 00:25:49,420 --> 00:25:50,780 They were thinking about the crime. 244 00:25:52,240 --> 00:26:02,240 I want your logo. Jesus was talking about the 245 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,920 fulfillment of his mission here on heart. 246 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:12,800 They were thinking of what they will gain from the life of. 247 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:39,300 Jesus, it was not only. A distraction to the teaching of 248 00:26:39,300 --> 00:26:42,020 the moment, to the mission of the moment. 249 00:26:42,220 --> 00:26:46,060 It caused the vision among the disciples. 250 00:26:55,200 --> 00:27:01,600 When you. Read further, the Bible said, 251 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:06,000 and the remaining 10 disciples were not happy with James. 252 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:20,970 And John? We have a lot of lessons. 253 00:27:22,570 --> 00:27:37,610 To learn from here. Even as children of God, what is 254 00:27:37,610 --> 00:27:42,290 that thing that is paramount in the heart of God compared to 255 00:27:42,290 --> 00:27:50,930 what is paramount? In your heart. 256 00:27:55,720 --> 00:28:00,200 Is your mindset, thought, wish and desire aligning with the 257 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:15,720 agenda of God for the moment? Are you sensitive enough to 258 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:19,800 understand the program of God per time and align with that 259 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,720 program of God? Or you are there to pursue a 260 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:28,920 personal agenda for a personal and self-centered? 261 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:45,320 Reason. You are seated here this 262 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:50,960 morning. You are here to submit your life 263 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:56,960 to Jesus Christ. You have chosen to live your 264 00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,600 life the way you want it, the way you like it. 265 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:10,680 You feel you can run the journey of your life by your own means, 266 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:19,920 by your own standard. Your case is not different. 267 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:26,760 From the scenario we have. Here is that you be. 268 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:34,720 Saved. The agenda. 269 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:40,760 Of God is that you come. To know him the. 270 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:44,640 Plan and purpose of God is that you run your life according to 271 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:54,360 His prescription, not according. To your own desire. 272 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,920 What is the thinking of God? What is the program of God? 273 00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,800 What is that thinking that you have? 274 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,080 What is that program that you have set for? 275 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:12,560 Yourself in. The context of this very 276 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:18,560 serious, more set of teaching that Jesus would ever deliver, 277 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:22,840 what James and John could think of is that position of glory 278 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:37,120 right and left. You don't see what I'm? 279 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:43,800 Seeing here somebody is talking about deaths, talking about how 280 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,840 it will be beating, talking about how will be betrayed, 281 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:52,000 talking about how it will be, it will be traumatized, how it will 282 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,440 be killed. It was in the midst. 283 00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:13,880 Where's the connection? They. 284 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:33,760 Are preaching about redemption and reservation of your soul and 285 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,800 what occupies your mind is how to get a girlfriend. 286 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:49,600 Even in church. Repent and give your life to 287 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,560 Christ. That is why they are preaching 288 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,040 in church. What you are thinking about is 289 00:31:54,080 --> 00:32:02,520 how to steal someone's phone. He was talking about what it 290 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:11,880 will cost him salvation, comprehensive salvation for. 291 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:20,000 Mankind, some guys were. Thinking of personal benefit to 292 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:29,080 themselves. Let's not benefit to themselves 293 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,720 alone. Maybe. 294 00:32:42,550 --> 00:32:46,470 We can apply what happened here to different aspects of our 295 00:32:46,470 --> 00:32:51,710 lives. You know. 296 00:32:52,190 --> 00:32:55,270 Some some of us will run into trouble because we don't know 297 00:32:55,270 --> 00:33:09,680 how to talk. You are here this morning. 298 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:16,320 And. In congregation, in meeting 299 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,480 where you have one or two or three people, when they are 300 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:22,200 discussing and talking, when you talk, everybody just abandoned 301 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:23,760 you and continue their discussion. 302 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:34,920 You talk, you talk of. Points. 303 00:33:47,240 --> 00:34:12,600 Because you do talk of points. Because you talk off points 304 00:34:23,810 --> 00:34:29,130 as it applies to us in a place of work, it applies to students 305 00:34:29,130 --> 00:34:32,679 too. It. 306 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,760 Applies in friendship, relationship, so it also applies 307 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:45,679 even in marriage. The reason? 308 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,920 Why you are not enjoying your marriage with your husband is 309 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:53,360 the moment you choose to talk. You talk at the wrong time. 310 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:57,080 You say what is on your mind at the wrong time. 311 00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:01,720 You speak into a contest what is in your mind and you speak of 312 00:35:01,720 --> 00:35:05,080 the context around you and therefore the man. 313 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:30,600 Is just fed up. Yes, you have your concerns, you 314 00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,880 have things on your mind, but choose the right time, Choose 315 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:38,600 the right contest to say what is on your mind. 316 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:50,920 No feel. The contest before you talk, we. 317 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:55,680 Are talking about the crosshair. We are talking about the 318 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:59,760 salvation of the world here. No, we are not talking yet about 319 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:03,960 a sitting position beside Jesus. We are talking about the work of 320 00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,560 redemption. We are talking about the passion 321 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:08,640 of the Christ. We are talking about what the 322 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:12,160 Lord will face to deliver salvation to the whole world. 323 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:16,040 We are talking about carrying the burden of sin of the entire 324 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:19,560 world. This is not a time of glory. 325 00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:23,800 Now we are talking of what we bought, the glory. 326 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,920 You are half point John. You are half point James. 327 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:44,400 I pray for somebody here this. Morning. 328 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:48,840 Who is living off points of God's agenda? 329 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,080 May you find your way back to God in Jesus. 330 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:06,280 We give glory to God. Give. 331 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:09,240 Glory to Jesus. Jesus. 332 00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:16,040 He did not rebuke them, Ashley. There's who he. 333 00:37:18,720 --> 00:37:23,040 Responded in a way to redirect them back to the focus of the 334 00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:26,160 hour. And. 335 00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,360 That was that was what bat verse 45. 336 00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:40,600 He attended. To the division that they are 337 00:37:40,600 --> 00:38:11,360 worth among the. That was what happened. 338 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:15,560 There are careless requests divided the team. 339 00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:19,720 Bury, I begin. I want you want bury. 340 00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:32,600 So Jesus addressed it. And bounded them together again. 341 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:37,680 Turn them back to the agenda. Of the. 342 00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:45,160 Hour the Son of Man came, not to be ministered unto, but to 343 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:50,400 minister, and to give his life a ransom. 344 00:38:53,840 --> 00:39:10,880 For many. And that is the price of 345 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:18,040 redemption. Jesus, the ransom for all. 346 00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:19,800 So. He. 347 00:39:20,720 --> 00:39:24,560 Brought them back to the subject and the concern of the 348 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:33,040 leadership. When somebody decides to 349 00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:37,320 carelessly destroy the company, break the team, break the 350 00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:42,000 company, the leadership must be sparked not to lose focus of the 351 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:46,440 assignment, not to lose focus of the mission, not to drop the 352 00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:54,120 vision and begin to attend to the peripheral, ephemeral things 353 00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:58,560 that are not primary, things as are not paramount to the call of 354 00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:16,120 the vision. Jesus rallied them together and. 355 00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:20,040 Delivered a very strong conclusion to the subject of 356 00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:22,120 the. Hour. 357 00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:29,000 Re establishing the reason why he came to the. 358 00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:35,840 World and. The focus for the journey to. 359 00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:45,000 Jerusalem What is redemption? Redemption is. 360 00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,640 Freedom that is secured by the payment of a price. 361 00:40:51,560 --> 00:41:02,400 It. Is not just deliverance OK, it 362 00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:09,680 is. Costly deliverance, costly 363 00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:14,680 deliverance there. Is a price that is. 364 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:19,840 Paid. In First Corinthians chapter. 6 365 00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:27,920 verse 20 the. Bible says for ye are bought 366 00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:32,760 with a price, therefore glorify God in your body and your spirit 367 00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:44,080 which belongs to God. No, no, no, no, no, no. 368 00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:51,720 I didn't know TCT. In Hospital Chapter 1. 369 00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:59,800 Verse 18. To 19 For as much as you know 370 00:41:59,960 --> 00:42:04,960 that you were not redeemed with corruptible things like silver, 371 00:42:05,240 --> 00:42:10,040 like gold from your vein conversation received by 372 00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:16,080 tradition and from your Father's, but with the precious 373 00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:20,240 blood of Christ as a lamb without blemish and without 374 00:42:20,240 --> 00:42:23,280 spot, there is a price that was paid. 375 00:42:23,720 --> 00:42:28,000 It is redemption is not just ordinary deliverance is a costly 376 00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,720 deliverance. It cost Jesus his blood. 377 00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:45,200 To redeem. US. 9 the Bible says. 378 00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:52,160 And they sung a new song, saying that wordy to take the book and 379 00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:56,480 to open the seas Their home. For Thou was slain and has 380 00:42:56,480 --> 00:43:03,240 redeemed us by the blood. Out of every kindred and tongue 381 00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:08,160 and people and nations.
