1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,600 When he had said these things he went on ahead going up to 2 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:07,500 Jerusalem as he approached bethphage and Bethany, at the 3 00:00:07,500 --> 00:00:09,400 place called the Mount of Olives. 4 00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:13,700 He sent two of the disciples and said, go into the village ahead 5 00:00:13,700 --> 00:00:16,500 of you. As you enter it, you will find a 6 00:00:16,500 --> 00:00:21,600 Colt tied there on which no one had a has ever sat untie it, and 7 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,800 bring it. If anyone asks, you, why are you 8 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:28,000 untying it say this, the Lord needs it? 9 00:00:29,100 --> 00:00:32,900 So those who were sent left and found it just as he had told 10 00:00:32,900 --> 00:00:36,900 them as they were untying the Colt its owners said to them. 11 00:00:37,100 --> 00:00:40,500 Why are you untying that colt? The Lord needs it. 12 00:00:40,700 --> 00:00:43,700 They said, then they brought it to Jesus. 13 00:00:43,700 --> 00:00:47,400 And after throwing their clothes on the cult, they help Jesus get 14 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,700 on it as he was going along. They were spreading their 15 00:00:50,700 --> 00:00:54,400 clothes on the road. Now, he came near the path, down 16 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,900 the Mount of Olives. And the whole crowd of the 17 00:00:56,900 --> 00:01:01,100 disciples began to Praise God, joyfully with a loud voice. 18 00:01:01,100 --> 00:01:06,200 For all the Miracles they had seen blessed is the king who 19 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:11,300 comes in the name of the Lord peace in heaven and glory in the 20 00:01:11,300 --> 00:01:15,200 highest heaven. Some of the Pharisees from the 21 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,700 crowd told him teacher rebuke your disciples. 22 00:01:19,500 --> 00:01:24,900 He answered I tell you if they were to keep silent the stones 23 00:01:24,900 --> 00:01:30,500 would cry out as he approached and saw the city he wept for it. 24 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:35,100 Saying, if you knew this day what would bring peace. 25 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:41,000 But now it is hidden from your eyes for the days will come on 26 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,900 you when your enemies will build a better. 27 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,100 Barricade around you, surround, you and hem. 28 00:01:46,100 --> 00:01:50,200 Un on every side. They will crush you and your 29 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,400 children among you to the ground and they will not leave one 30 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,300 stone on another in your midst because you did not recognize 31 00:01:58,300 --> 00:02:04,000 the time when God visited you. So I want you to imagine with me 32 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,400 for just a second as we get started, the most peaceful 33 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,700 setting you can think of. So, depending on who you are, 34 00:02:11,700 --> 00:02:14,500 you might have a different scenario in your head. 35 00:02:15,100 --> 00:02:18,400 Some of you might be thinking about a day on the beach. 36 00:02:18,700 --> 00:02:21,700 The weather is perfect. It's not too crowded. 37 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,800 You have a great book in one hand and your favorite drink in 38 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,400 the other. You don't have to tell anybody 39 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,200 what it is. Others of you might be thinking 40 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:34,300 of a cabin on the side of a mountain somewhere. 41 00:02:34,300 --> 00:02:38,700 The snow is falling Outside. The Fire is crackling inside, 42 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,300 and you're sitting in an oversized comfortable recliner 43 00:02:42,300 --> 00:02:46,000 with not a care in the world and still others of you might be 44 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,100 thinking of something, maybe a little noisier but still what 45 00:02:49,100 --> 00:02:52,900 you would describe as peaceful. Maybe you imagine sitting at 46 00:02:52,900 --> 00:02:57,000 your favorite restaurant, their best entree and front of you. 47 00:02:57,100 --> 00:02:58,700 Someone else is picking up the bill. 48 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,300 Bill and you're surrounded by your closest friends and a table 49 00:03:02,300 --> 00:03:07,700 full of laughter and joy. Peace this morning. 50 00:03:07,700 --> 00:03:09,800 We're going to spend a few minutes looking together at this 51 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:15,700 idea of Peace as revealed for us by the person of Jesus. 52 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,000 Now, when we think of Peace often, we primarily think of 53 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,700 maybe the absence of conflict, a place of safety and sitting in 54 00:03:24,700 --> 00:03:28,400 the midst of a bunch of things that make us happy. 55 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,200 And that's not a bad vision and those are not bad desires. 56 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:38,800 However, I would argue that the pathway to peace is not seeking 57 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,500 to attain enough status or wealth, where you can kind of 58 00:03:42,500 --> 00:03:46,100 manufacture and create enough peaceful settings in your life 59 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,000 and rid your world of any disturbances. 60 00:03:50,100 --> 00:03:54,000 Because as we all know and have experienced, even when we try 61 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:59,100 our best to create or manufacture piece, things that 62 00:03:59,100 --> 00:04:05,300 are out of our control can very quickly disrupt that however, if 63 00:04:05,300 --> 00:04:09,700 our peace is found not in experiences, but rather in a 64 00:04:09,708 --> 00:04:14,400 person, what we might just find is that there is a peace offer 65 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,700 to us that cannot be disturbed or taken away. 66 00:04:19,399 --> 00:04:24,400 But the path to that piece might be much different than we'd ever 67 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,400 imagined. So good morning again, church is 68 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,800 always, as I said earlier, it is a joy to be gathered with you. 69 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,500 As I mentioned earlier, my name is Joel, and I have the 70 00:04:34,500 --> 00:04:37,200 privilege of serving as the pastor for preaching and 71 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,600 oversight here, continue to be a prayer for Kevin. 72 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,500 Perry our pastor for shepherding, he and his wife 73 00:04:42,508 --> 00:04:47,100 Kris are still in Africa on a mission support trip, supporting 74 00:04:47,100 --> 00:04:50,600 some friends of theirs and they hope to A kind of head back this 75 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:51,500 way. Saturday. 76 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,100 They might make it next Sunday, we don't know. 77 00:04:54,100 --> 00:04:55,600 I told him. Don't feel like you have to. 78 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:56,800 I know it's Easter but it's all right. 79 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,900 You don't get extra points docked off because you missed 80 00:04:58,900 --> 00:05:00,900 Easter. So go listen to last week's 81 00:05:00,900 --> 00:05:05,100 sermon if you don't like that. Alright, anyways, as you can 82 00:05:05,100 --> 00:05:07,700 see, we're taking a break from our series through Hebrews, 83 00:05:07,700 --> 00:05:10,000 which will pick back up after Easter, were kind of spinning 84 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,600 two weeks, which will do this some years to look at the last 85 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:18,300 week of the life of Jesus as narrated by Luke's gospel the 86 00:05:18,300 --> 00:05:21,300 last week of Jesus. His life is traditionally called 87 00:05:21,300 --> 00:05:23,700 Holy Week. Now depending on if you grew up 88 00:05:23,700 --> 00:05:26,500 in church at all or what church tradition, you grew up in, you 89 00:05:26,500 --> 00:05:29,400 might be like, more familiar with Holy Week than I am. 90 00:05:29,900 --> 00:05:32,100 Some of you if you grew up Baptist like me, you have no 91 00:05:32,100 --> 00:05:33,900 idea what it is, and you just think it's a Catholic thing. 92 00:05:33,900 --> 00:05:36,800 And so you're like, I don't even want to know, but holy week is 93 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:41,300 simply part of the liturgical church calendar, which is a very 94 00:05:41,300 --> 00:05:44,100 helpful tool for Christians, that just reminds us about 95 00:05:44,100 --> 00:05:47,900 different times of Jesus life. And this week, specifically is 96 00:05:47,900 --> 00:05:51,000 for the purpose of us. Slowing, Down and reflecting on 97 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,500 the Life, Death burial and resurrection of Jesus. 98 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,300 What I want to do is give you a quick rundown of the significant 99 00:05:57,300 --> 00:06:00,200 days of Holy weeks to kind of ground Us in the larger context. 100 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,900 So four main significant days in holy week. 101 00:06:02,900 --> 00:06:08,000 So the first one is Palm Sunday. That is what today is on the 102 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,400 church calendar, it's the week before Easter. 103 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,300 And so, that is the day, when Jesus, it's called Palm Sunday, 104 00:06:13,300 --> 00:06:17,200 because Jesus rode his triumphal entry, as people were waving, 105 00:06:17,500 --> 00:06:19,300 palm branches, and they were late. 106 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:23,100 On the ground as Jesus enters. Jerusalem known commonly again 107 00:06:23,100 --> 00:06:25,900 is the triumphal entry. Then you have Maundy Thursday, 108 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,800 okay, it gets its name on D from the word mandate or command and 109 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,200 it's the new command that Jesus gives his disciples. 110 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,100 This is Thursday the day before Jesus was crucified, if you 111 00:06:36,100 --> 00:06:38,600 remember, it was when Jesus was in the upper room with his 112 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,600 disciples, most people call it the Last Supper, you might have 113 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,200 seen popular paintings on that on this night. 114 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,400 He institute's the Lord's Supper, he washes the feet of 115 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,500 his disciples and he gives them the new Date to love one another 116 00:06:50,500 --> 00:06:53,000 as he had loved them. It's what we remember every week 117 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,800 when we take communion here at new Eden, the death and burial, 118 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,900 the death, and burial of Jesus, then there's good Friday, which 119 00:07:00,900 --> 00:07:04,000 was the day of Jesus crucifixion, the day that he is 120 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,400 placed on a cross to die for the sins of the world. 121 00:07:08,500 --> 00:07:11,700 Now, it seems like an oxymoron to call that day good. 122 00:07:11,900 --> 00:07:15,400 But when you know, what comes on Sunday, it makes sense because 123 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,000 Sunday is what is traditionally called Easter or Resurrection. 124 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,200 Day, call it what you want. Want, I really don't care. 125 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,000 It's the day. Jesus got up out of the grave 126 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,700 and beat Death, hell and sin. So we're going to celebrate it 127 00:07:26,700 --> 00:07:28,500 regardless of how you want to do that. 128 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,100 So in this series for the first week, we're kind of zooming in 129 00:07:31,100 --> 00:07:33,900 at Palm Sunday and next week, we'll be looking at Resurrection 130 00:07:33,900 --> 00:07:35,100 Sunday. I do encourage there's plenty of 131 00:07:35,108 --> 00:07:37,400 resources, online, if you want me to direct you to some, to 132 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,600 kind of spend some time, maybe with your family, or community 133 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,200 group, looking at some of the other days, but we're kind of 134 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,000 just sandwich here in between the two. 135 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,300 And so, we're calling this two-week series revealed. 136 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,300 The idea of this series is the unveiling of Jesus. 137 00:07:50,300 --> 00:07:52,700 That's what the eyes open. Are some people have told me, it 138 00:07:52,700 --> 00:07:55,200 looks like something out of a horror movie, so if that's what 139 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:56,700 you thought, I'm sorry, I don't know. 140 00:07:56,700 --> 00:07:58,900 We didn't spend much time. It's a two-week Series, so don't 141 00:07:58,900 --> 00:08:01,700 put too much thought into it. Their eyes are big and open and 142 00:08:01,700 --> 00:08:04,400 I thought they were pretty, not scary, but whatever that might 143 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:09,600 say more about y'all than me, some All right, so what where we 144 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,800 get this name reveals from the at the in Luke's gospel? 145 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,400 What you'll see in the couple weeks were in here especially 146 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,100 towards the end there is this theme. 147 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,700 This recurring theme of people who physically see something 148 00:08:18,700 --> 00:08:20,700 with their eyes. They're staring something in the 149 00:08:20,700 --> 00:08:24,500 face, but they fail to really understand what's going on. 150 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,800 And Jesus will even directly tell them that they failed to 151 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,100 recognize what is actually in front of them. 152 00:08:30,300 --> 00:08:32,700 As you heard read a moment ago, the Pharisees are told that they 153 00:08:32,700 --> 00:08:37,200 don't know what brings about actual piece because they Failed 154 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:41,200 to recognize the time that God himself, visited them. 155 00:08:42,500 --> 00:08:45,200 And so today, in the time, we have left, we're going to see 156 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,300 how true peace is revealed for us in the person of Christ. 157 00:08:49,300 --> 00:08:53,000 If we can only recognize what is staring Us in the face. 158 00:08:53,300 --> 00:08:55,600 So the first thing about peace, we're going to look at is this 159 00:08:55,800 --> 00:09:02,600 the promise of peace. The promise of peace. 160 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,900 So to understand peace is defined for us by Jesus. 161 00:09:06,900 --> 00:09:09,900 We must first understand a little bit about the world in 162 00:09:09,900 --> 00:09:13,200 which Jesus lived. Peace was not a foreign concept. 163 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:17,700 It was actually a very trendy idea for the the the context in 164 00:09:17,700 --> 00:09:22,400 which Jesus lived, the life of Jesus took place in a culture 165 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,100 where the Roman Empire was in charge and had experienced 166 00:09:26,100 --> 00:09:29,500 relative success. This time is referred to in 167 00:09:29,500 --> 00:09:35,100 history as the Pax Romana, which meant the piece of And Rome 168 00:09:35,100 --> 00:09:39,200 experienced in one sense, an idea of peace and they they 169 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:43,900 touted and promise this idea of social peace to their citizens 170 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,400 at least as long as they fell in line with their promise and 171 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,200 their proposed ideals. The issue is that if you study 172 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,800 deep enough, this piece was selectively offered. 173 00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:00,500 And it came at the expense of many who were enslaved and 174 00:10:00,500 --> 00:10:03,600 oppressed and kept under the thumb of those in political 175 00:10:03,700 --> 00:10:07,900 Empower and even for those who are on the right side of this 176 00:10:07,900 --> 00:10:11,000 piece, those that experienced this temporary peace. 177 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,000 That was the problem. It was temporary. 178 00:10:13,500 --> 00:10:16,300 It only lasted go study history for another couple hundred 179 00:10:16,300 --> 00:10:19,000 years. This piece was not eternal. 180 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,000 So that's the broad social context but not only that, 181 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,500 there's the religious context, there's another institution of 182 00:10:26,500 --> 00:10:30,700 the day that promised peace and that was the religious system. 183 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:35,400 This old Covenant Jewish system that had the temple life at its 184 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,800 Center. It promised that one could have 185 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:42,200 peace with God if enough rules and regulations would just be 186 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:46,100 followed. However, this idea of Peace was 187 00:10:46,100 --> 00:10:49,700 also selectively offered. It was kept tightly guarded by 188 00:10:49,700 --> 00:10:53,500 the Just Gatekeepers of the day who determine who was in and who 189 00:10:53,500 --> 00:10:56,900 was out and who was kept on the outside and on the fringes. 190 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,400 And so, just like the social power of the Romans, came 191 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,700 through political, sorry, the social piece of the Romans came 192 00:11:03,700 --> 00:11:06,400 through political power. This piece came through a 193 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:12,300 religious power, and again, it would not last in this exact 194 00:11:12,300 --> 00:11:15,500 passage Jesus actually. Prophesized the destruction of 195 00:11:15,500 --> 00:11:18,900 the temple in just 40 under 40, short years from them. 196 00:11:20,700 --> 00:11:23,400 So there's the promise of social peace from Rome, the promise of 197 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,700 religious piece from the old Covenant Temple system in the 198 00:11:26,708 --> 00:11:29,800 religious leaders. But if we look closely and if we 199 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:34,400 have eyes to see will also see that there was always a promise 200 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:39,300 of real peace from Yahweh. The god of the Bible who 201 00:11:39,300 --> 00:11:42,900 promised peace, not just to a select few, but to the entire 202 00:11:42,900 --> 00:11:46,700 world, well, before Jesus ever became incarnate and was born, 203 00:11:46,900 --> 00:11:48,500 look back with me to the Old Testament. 204 00:11:48,500 --> 00:11:51,700 I'll have it on the screen for you Zechariah. 9:9 And verses 9 205 00:11:51,700 --> 00:11:54,000 through 10. And this is a prophecy about a 206 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:58,100 Yahweh who would bring peace. And it says Rejoice greatly, o 207 00:11:58,108 --> 00:12:02,900 daughter, Zion shout and Triumph daughter Jerusalem. 208 00:12:03,100 --> 00:12:06,400 Look, your king is coming to you. 209 00:12:06,900 --> 00:12:12,800 He is righteous and Victorious. Humble and riding on a donkey, 210 00:12:13,300 --> 00:12:17,100 on a Colt. The foal of a donkey I will cut 211 00:12:17,100 --> 00:12:20,800 off The Chariot from Ephraim and the horse from Elam. 212 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,400 So so the Chariot from Ephraim horse from Jerusalem. 213 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,200 There's no more need for for items of war and instruments of 214 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,800 war. The bow of War will be removed 215 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,900 and he will Proclaim peace to Israel. 216 00:12:32,900 --> 00:12:36,300 Wait, no. Peace to the nation's. 217 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,700 His Dominion will extend the borders of German away from sea 218 00:12:40,700 --> 00:12:46,700 to Sea from the Euphrates river to the ends of the Earth. 219 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,700 Long ago, there had been a promise of peace that would 220 00:12:50,700 --> 00:12:52,800 extend not just for a select few. 221 00:12:52,900 --> 00:12:55,500 Not for those with military might or who were born into the 222 00:12:55,500 --> 00:12:59,200 right family but rather to the ends of the Earth. 223 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:06,100 Not based on social status or ethnicity, or class or 224 00:13:06,100 --> 00:13:09,600 genealogy. And there were those who had 225 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:13,100 been longing and waiting patiently for this piece to 226 00:13:13,100 --> 00:13:16,100 come. Especially those who were The 227 00:13:16,300 --> 00:13:20,400 Outsiders in Rome and The Outsiders among the religious 228 00:13:20,500 --> 00:13:23,100 Elite, those who have been oppressed and kept on the 229 00:13:23,100 --> 00:13:26,800 margins longed for a leader who would come and in war, and 230 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,700 strife, and poverty, and Division and Usher in peace. 231 00:13:32,500 --> 00:13:36,000 But what would it look like when it arrived? 232 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,900 And how would it unfold? And this is the context. 233 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,700 In which we find the story of Palm Sunday. 234 00:13:46,900 --> 00:13:51,300 These are the cultural pressures that Jesus lived and was born 235 00:13:51,300 --> 00:13:54,900 into on purpose, based on the Sovereign plan of God. 236 00:13:54,900 --> 00:14:00,300 When the right time came Jesus entered As in t right calls. 237 00:14:00,300 --> 00:14:05,800 It it was The Perfect Storm. Our story today takes place at 238 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:10,300 the end of Jesus ministry. By this point, there were many 239 00:14:10,300 --> 00:14:13,800 followers of Jesus who had read the Old Testament scriptures and 240 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,500 really believe that this was the Messianic King, the long-awaited 241 00:14:17,500 --> 00:14:21,600 Messiah, who would bring peace, he had he had proved it by 242 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:25,800 Healing The Sick and raising the dead and even forgiving sins. 243 00:14:26,900 --> 00:14:30,400 And not only that people heard and watched as he stood up to 244 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:34,900 those in power protesting against worldly ideas of peace. 245 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,000 And I include the religious Elite in that worldly, 246 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,700 understanding political religious power, only offered to 247 00:14:41,700 --> 00:14:44,800 the select few Jesus with his life and with his lips, he 248 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:49,200 protested against that. And so now as the pressure 249 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:55,700 mounts, no more hiding who Jesus is The tension begins to rise 250 00:14:55,900 --> 00:15:01,000 and Jesus begins his descent toward Jerusalem. 251 00:15:02,700 --> 00:15:05,100 Now, we don't know if the crowds fully understood probably some 252 00:15:05,100 --> 00:15:09,100 did and probably some didn't, but they knew something was up, 253 00:15:09,900 --> 00:15:12,700 but Jesus knew what he was headed toward. 254 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:19,900 Not peace, but a conflict, and a conflict that was greater than 255 00:15:19,900 --> 00:15:21,600 anything. The world has ever known. 256 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:27,600 We saw first, the promise of peace and now we see the path of 257 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,900 peace. Culturally. 258 00:15:31,900 --> 00:15:36,900 During this time, when a warrior king would conquer a city that 259 00:15:36,900 --> 00:15:40,900 king would then ride into the city with a huge procession. 260 00:15:41,900 --> 00:15:45,900 No, expense would be spared. The red carpet would be rolled 261 00:15:45,900 --> 00:15:49,700 out the bands would play. The dancers would dance. 262 00:15:49,900 --> 00:15:53,400 And people would line the street, the king's subjects, 263 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:57,500 both old and new would line the pathway and begin to cheer, and 264 00:15:57,500 --> 00:16:01,000 chant, probably some out of joy and some out of fear because 265 00:16:01,100 --> 00:16:04,200 They didn't want to be squashed too and they would give honor 266 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:09,300 and allegiance to the king. this was the expectation, but the 267 00:16:09,300 --> 00:16:14,400 reality of this King and this entrance is much different Jesus 268 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:20,200 sends his followers, not to get a war horse. but a donkey, A 269 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:24,600 humble animal not revered or looked highly upon, but 270 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:29,100 typically only used by those who couldn't afford a horse, but 271 00:16:29,100 --> 00:16:32,900 still these people so badly. Want to believe that this is the 272 00:16:32,900 --> 00:16:34,900 warrior king that always dreamed of. 273 00:16:34,900 --> 00:16:38,700 And so they begin to chant a line from an old poem from Psalm 274 00:16:38,700 --> 00:16:43,600 118, which is where Luke 1938 comes from blessed. 275 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:47,600 And the palm, the, the poem from Psalm says, blessed is he who 276 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,600 comes in the name of the Lord, and they insert themselves. 277 00:16:50,100 --> 00:16:53,900 Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord. 278 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,500 This is the king. We've always waited for Psalm 279 00:16:57,500 --> 00:17:02,300 118 was a Messianic, Psalm about a one who would come in and save 280 00:17:02,300 --> 00:17:04,599 the people and destroy the powerful enemies. 281 00:17:04,900 --> 00:17:07,099 Save the people. So in other gospels, they cried 282 00:17:07,099 --> 00:17:13,500 out Hosanna, which means save us now And Jesus is fulfilling this 283 00:17:13,500 --> 00:17:18,800 Psalm of destroying his enemies. Just not in the way we might 284 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,900 expect. Because he loves them. 285 00:17:23,099 --> 00:17:26,200 He really is the one prophesied back in Zechariah 9, who would 286 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,500 come humble and mounted on a donkey and this had to throw 287 00:17:29,500 --> 00:17:32,800 everyone for a loop. All they had known were worldly 288 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:37,900 ways of Peace achieved through Power and dominance and stamping 289 00:17:37,900 --> 00:17:42,200 out any insurrectionist, who would dare stand up to us, but 290 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:47,700 Jesus rides into town on a donkey on a path full of 291 00:17:47,700 --> 00:17:51,500 tattered. Worn coats, Cheered on by 292 00:17:51,500 --> 00:17:56,300 Misfits and outcasts. And in doing this he is staging 293 00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:00,500 a protest against worldly understandings of peace. 294 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:06,000 As we think of the crowd who most likely most of them, we 295 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,300 don't know for sure but most of them probably envisioned. 296 00:18:08,300 --> 00:18:11,700 Something drastically different from this self-proclaimed 297 00:18:11,700 --> 00:18:14,200 Messiah. I mean he had healed the sick 298 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,600 and raise the dead. Surely he can go in and 299 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:21,900 overthrow the Roman rulers and oppression and end it. and as we 300 00:18:21,900 --> 00:18:26,100 think about this, we have to ask ourselves, which Jesus, we are 301 00:18:26,100 --> 00:18:31,500 comfortable with following Do we want the warrior king who comes 302 00:18:31,500 --> 00:18:34,900 riding in with the military might political strength and 303 00:18:34,900 --> 00:18:40,500 religious Authority? Or are we okay with following a 304 00:18:40,500 --> 00:18:47,200 king into humility and meekness? A Shepherd, who protest against 305 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,000 our worldly understandings of Peace? 306 00:18:50,700 --> 00:18:53,600 How often do we want? A king who will just conquer our 307 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,500 foes? Give us Comfort security, 308 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,500 wealth, happiness and everything. 309 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:02,800 We want we could even get passionate and cheer this King 310 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,400 on. We can even be excited about 311 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,000 this King that we fashioned in our mind. 312 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,300 But are we still willing to follow him down? 313 00:19:11,300 --> 00:19:16,400 The path of Peace? If it means losing our life, And 314 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,300 walking into humility and even death. 315 00:19:20,500 --> 00:19:24,400 Are we willing to lay down our most cherished rights for the 316 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,100 lives of others or do we cling onto them? 317 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,800 Do we follow the politicians of the day? 318 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,400 The religious leaders of the day or the influential wealthy Elite 319 00:19:33,500 --> 00:19:37,700 over the ways of Jesus because when you follow Jesus, it comes 320 00:19:37,700 --> 00:19:40,500 at the iron and persecution of others. 321 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:45,100 Jesus said, if you think they're not going to hate you like they 322 00:19:45,100 --> 00:19:47,300 hated me. Surely they're going to hate my 323 00:19:47,300 --> 00:19:51,000 followers. Do we just want him to be what 324 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,000 we want him to be? Where we have fashioned? 325 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,200 A Jesus we like and hear how here's how you know? 326 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,500 And I know if I'm beginning to Fashion, a Jesus and make him in 327 00:19:59,500 --> 00:20:02,400 my image instead of being conformed to his, here's how 328 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,800 this works. Jesus hates everyone. 329 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:09,600 We hate and loves everyone. We love He always agrees with 330 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:14,400 our political talking points. He always has the same standards 331 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,700 and rules for all Christians that we have. 332 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:21,200 And if this is our Jesus, we're not worshiping Jesus, we're 333 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:27,000 worshipping ourselves. This is one response to Jesus 334 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,700 and his path of peace that we might find ourselves tempted to 335 00:20:29,700 --> 00:20:32,800 follow. There's another path that of the 336 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:36,900 religious Elite In this passage the religious Elite even come to 337 00:20:36,900 --> 00:20:42,900 Jesus, a silence the crowd, calm them down and Jesus refuses, 338 00:20:42,900 --> 00:20:45,200 because even if the crowd is a little confused, at least 339 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,700 they're they're they're like on the right path and this 340 00:20:48,700 --> 00:20:51,200 religious Elite. They had their agreement with 341 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,600 Rome that they could keep their social status and Power in the 342 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:58,800 religious sphere as long as there were no uprisings no 343 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:03,100 self-proclaimed Messiahs. Let's just keep the peace. 344 00:21:04,300 --> 00:21:07,700 The only problem is that, keeping peace is different than 345 00:21:07,700 --> 00:21:11,900 making peace. And Jesus was here to make peace 346 00:21:11,900 --> 00:21:15,600 for all regardless of the disturbance it required. 347 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:21,500 Some of us want to soft in Jesus, make him palatable so we 348 00:21:21,500 --> 00:21:24,900 can kind of just maintain some peace with the powerful cultural 349 00:21:24,900 --> 00:21:27,400 and social leaders, and influencers of the day. 350 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:32,100 But the pathway of following Jesus doesn't allow for that. 351 00:21:32,900 --> 00:21:35,800 The gospel will bring offense at one point or another. 352 00:21:36,300 --> 00:21:39,200 I'm not saying we should just be jerks, that's not the point. 353 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,200 I don't blame it on. Well gospel, just defensive and 354 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,600 you're a well you're a jerk. I'll say that word instead of 355 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,600 something else. The gospel will bring offense. 356 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,700 the message of Jesus Can't Be Tamed or water down and at some 357 00:21:52,700 --> 00:21:57,000 point unnecessarily, it will come into conflict with the way 358 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:01,800 of the world and the way of religious systems, it is a whole 359 00:22:01,900 --> 00:22:07,500 new kingdom and the question is not if it's willing to conform 360 00:22:07,500 --> 00:22:10,300 to what we want it to, but if we're willing to forsake 361 00:22:10,300 --> 00:22:13,900 everything and conformed to Christ, even if we lose the 362 00:22:13,900 --> 00:22:22,000 world, the crowd continues to cheer as Jesus nears closer to 363 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,900 Jerusalem. He knows where he's headed. 364 00:22:27,100 --> 00:22:29,400 As Jesus rides on the back of the Donkey. 365 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,600 And it comes over the ridge, he can see in the distance, the 366 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,200 city of Jerusalem, what represented, the center of 367 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:43,000 religious life for his people. The chosen ones through whom God 368 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:47,500 wanted to bless the world. You would expect as Jesus gets 369 00:22:47,500 --> 00:22:51,700 closer to this conflict that he would egg on the chance as you 370 00:22:51,700 --> 00:22:54,100 watch Caitlin, Clark do when she hits a big shot. 371 00:22:54,100 --> 00:22:55,600 Let's go. Some of y'all know I'm talking 372 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,800 about some. Y'all don't need a much more 373 00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,700 women's basketball. Can I get an? 374 00:22:59,708 --> 00:23:01,100 Amen. All right, we got one. 375 00:23:02,900 --> 00:23:05,800 You would expect him to egg on the chance, maybe gain some 376 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,400 momentum, as he heads toward the city. 377 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,300 But for those in the crowd who took a long enough break from 378 00:23:13,300 --> 00:23:17,200 the frenzy and the chance to notice, if they look close at 379 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:22,300 Jesus, they would have seen a shocking scene. instead of his 380 00:23:22,300 --> 00:23:28,500 head held high and pride and confidence, our text tells us 381 00:23:28,500 --> 00:23:36,500 that Jesus begins to weep in the Greek this is not just a few 382 00:23:36,500 --> 00:23:41,000 tears kind of that roll down his face, this is a violent sobbing 383 00:23:41,900 --> 00:23:46,200 emotionally overwhelmed filled with filled with grief and 384 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:51,300 sadness because he knows that he has been rejected by his own, 385 00:23:51,500 --> 00:23:56,900 this is Yahweh, God, in flesh, Emmanuel, God With Us, Jesus the 386 00:23:56,900 --> 00:24:04,200 creator of the world Weeps And he's not sad for his own sake. 387 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:12,000 But for there's he knows what is to come and it Grieves him he 388 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:16,500 says Jerusalem I would have loved to have gathered you but 389 00:24:16,500 --> 00:24:21,500 you would not if only you knew what would bring peace but 390 00:24:21,500 --> 00:24:25,500 you're not recognizing the time when God himself visited you 391 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,000 you're missing what's staring you in the face? 392 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:33,000 And I hate it because God is not willing that any should perish. 393 00:24:36,300 --> 00:24:39,200 And Jesus, sadly prophetically predicts. 394 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,800 What would come true in about 40 short years, the temple would be 395 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,200 destroyed and the piece that they were trying. 396 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:50,100 So hard to juggle and maintain, and that's why they reject Jesus 397 00:24:50,300 --> 00:24:52,500 in other passages. If you don't get rid of Jesus, 398 00:24:52,500 --> 00:24:54,700 they're gonna come, take away your place and your nation and 399 00:24:54,700 --> 00:24:57,300 we can't lose that. We got to maintain that. 400 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:03,100 And in trying to keep their own Earthly Kingdom, they missed out 401 00:25:03,100 --> 00:25:07,200 on the kingdom of God. And in the end they lost both. 402 00:25:09,700 --> 00:25:13,600 When we try to gain the world, we lose our soul. 403 00:25:14,700 --> 00:25:18,500 And you lose the world, too. as c.s. 404 00:25:18,500 --> 00:25:25,100 Lewis said, aim at heaven and you will get her thrown in a 405 00:25:25,100 --> 00:25:33,700 matter. Jesus sobs because he knows that 406 00:25:33,700 --> 00:25:37,300 real lasting Eternal. Peace is not found in a 407 00:25:37,308 --> 00:25:42,600 revolution but in the revelation of God has revealed in the man 408 00:25:42,700 --> 00:25:47,800 Christ Jesus. To those who reject him. 409 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:51,900 He says some of the saddest words Would you have known what 410 00:25:51,900 --> 00:25:55,200 brought peace. You did not recognize the time 411 00:25:55,700 --> 00:25:59,300 when God visited you. They wanted a religious and 412 00:25:59,300 --> 00:26:01,500 political leader. And what they missed was that 413 00:26:01,500 --> 00:26:05,600 God, in flesh, was in their midst, visiting them and 414 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,200 offering true, and ultimate piece. 415 00:26:09,900 --> 00:26:13,600 But they did not have eyes. And this is the last thing. 416 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,200 We'll see. We saw the promise of Peace. 417 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,100 The pathway of peace. And now we see the person of 418 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:23,000 peace. See, peace is not ultimately 419 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:27,500 found in creating tranquil scenes for ourselves. 420 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:33,900 Peace is ultimately found in a person But peace does not come 421 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:40,800 without division first, hope does not come without loss. 422 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:46,200 Joy does not come without grief life, does not come without 423 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:50,700 death, and Easter does not happen without Good Friday. 424 00:26:52,300 --> 00:26:57,500 Jesus knew that piece for the world would require Conflict for 425 00:26:57,500 --> 00:27:00,600 him. Require him to go into the 426 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:04,200 greatest battle. Ever fought against sin and the 427 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,400 enemy and he would have to crawl up on a cross and died for the 428 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:12,000 sins of the world because the ultimate peace that we all need 429 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,100 the we there's nothing wrong with Desiring peace in the here 430 00:27:15,100 --> 00:27:18,300 and now but the ultimate peace, we need is not to either be 431 00:27:18,300 --> 00:27:21,300 freed from our oppressors or to join sides with them and 432 00:27:21,300 --> 00:27:23,500 overthrow our Amy's. The ultimate, peace. 433 00:27:23,500 --> 00:27:28,000 We need is peace with God and our sin has kept us from that. 434 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,500 Not only has it affected us as individuals. 435 00:27:31,500 --> 00:27:35,200 It's infected the entire Cosmos like the world is groaning to be 436 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:41,300 restored because it is broken. Wars divisions school, shootings 437 00:27:41,700 --> 00:27:47,400 and death and sickness and pain. But Jesus, did not stay distant 438 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,400 from that. He came to deal with the 439 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:54,300 ultimate problem and that is the story of Good Friday. 440 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,900 He is beaten and mocked stripped naked and made ashamed. 441 00:27:58,900 --> 00:28:04,600 A crown of thorns shoved into his head and anyone watching 442 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:09,000 would have thought of this seen as bringing anything but peace. 443 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:14,600 Where was the army? Where were the soldiers? 444 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,100 Who's going to overthrow the Roman rule? 445 00:28:17,100 --> 00:28:22,400 We thought he was the one. Who's going to usher in peace? 446 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,700 And the revolution seems to be an utter failure as he gasped 447 00:28:27,700 --> 00:28:33,700 for breath on the cross. He cries out asking his father, 448 00:28:34,100 --> 00:28:38,700 my God. My God, why have you forsaken 449 00:28:38,700 --> 00:28:43,300 me? He was willing to enter into 450 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:48,300 that division. From his own father so that we 451 00:28:48,300 --> 00:28:50,800 might be brought into peace and Union with God. 452 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,800 Eventually takes his last breath. 453 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,700 He's placed in a borrowed tomb, to rot. 454 00:29:00,100 --> 00:29:03,200 On, Holy Saturday. He lays silent in the grave 455 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:08,100 Resting on the Sabbath, just as God did in the original 456 00:29:08,100 --> 00:29:11,300 creation. His Jesus is bringing a new 457 00:29:11,300 --> 00:29:14,700 creation and he lays in a rock hewn out of the Earth. 458 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:21,000 But on Resurrection morning. The stones begin to cry out and 459 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:25,100 the Earth opens up and gives way to the Son of God and the peace, 460 00:29:25,100 --> 00:29:29,700 bring her walks out of the Tomb alive and it is through his 461 00:29:29,700 --> 00:29:33,500 death that he brings life. It is through his grief that he 462 00:29:33,500 --> 00:29:36,000 offers Joy. It is through his sacrifice that 463 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,300 he offers healing. It is through his division that 464 00:29:39,300 --> 00:29:43,700 he offers peace. And this is the story of the 465 00:29:43,700 --> 00:29:47,400 person of Peace. It's about the Life, Death, 466 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:48,900 burial. And resurrection of Jesus is 467 00:29:48,900 --> 00:29:53,200 what we hinge everything on its, what Christians commonly called 468 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:57,400 The Gospel, or the good news, because that's what it is. 469 00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,900 And this is the invitation to you because of the work of 470 00:30:00,900 --> 00:30:02,800 Christ. No matter what family, you were 471 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:04,600 born into. No matter what you've done, no 472 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,200 matter your marital status, no matter your income level. 473 00:30:07,500 --> 00:30:12,100 The invitation is to come find peace at the table of Jesus. 474 00:30:13,900 --> 00:30:16,700 He is the piece that we're longing for when we try to fill 475 00:30:16,700 --> 00:30:20,700 the void with things of this age, it is offered in Christ. 476 00:30:21,500 --> 00:30:26,700 He is where true peace is found. So, wherever you find yourself 477 00:30:26,700 --> 00:30:29,200 today, maybe you identify with the crowds or the Pharisees, 478 00:30:29,500 --> 00:30:32,500 however, you've responded to Jesus in the past. 479 00:30:34,500 --> 00:30:38,200 Whether you fully understood his way or not, right here, right 480 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,400 now. Peace is offered to you because 481 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:46,100 ultimate piece is revealed in the beautiful face of Jesus and 482 00:30:46,100 --> 00:30:50,600 it's a peace that the world did not give so the world cannot 483 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:54,900 take it away. And when we surrender to this 484 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,900 when we quit trying to clamor and try to have control and 485 00:30:58,900 --> 00:31:02,300 power and might and we surrender our eyes are opened and we 486 00:31:02,300 --> 00:31:07,400 recognize the time that God has visited us in Christ when we see 487 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:11,100 a God Who Weeps? Because he loves you that much, 488 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:15,400 you can't stay the same. We say I'll follow you anywhere, 489 00:31:16,100 --> 00:31:20,700 we'll go into death. Let's go sometimes through tears 490 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,300 and weeping and crying. Dean. 491 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:31,200 But we walk into humility lost surrender, weeping even death 492 00:31:31,900 --> 00:31:35,500 because we know that Joy life and peace await on the other 493 00:31:35,500 --> 00:31:37,400 side. And, you know, the proof of that 494 00:31:37,500 --> 00:31:42,200 it's Easter morning, the resurrection of Jesus is What's 495 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,900 called the first fruits, that means, they're more to come. 496 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,900 There will be actual real peace when Jesus returns like 497 00:31:48,900 --> 00:31:51,400 tangible. Like you can chill by the fire 498 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,700 and the snow falling outside, whatever is for you, he's 499 00:31:53,700 --> 00:31:56,800 preparing to place. For you, well, whatever it is 500 00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:58,200 like, that's real, that's coming. 501 00:31:58,500 --> 00:32:01,700 But then, the big thing about it is that Jesus, the Blazing Glory 502 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,000 of Christ will be at the center of it. 503 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,300 All. There will be no more need for 504 00:32:06,300 --> 00:32:09,800 sun because the glory of Christ is brighter than any Earthly 505 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:13,600 son. School shootings. 506 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:20,800 Will end Wars will cease? Guns will be turned to garden 507 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:25,500 tools, instruments of death will be transformed to instruments of 508 00:32:25,500 --> 00:32:29,500 life. Death will turn to life, ashes 509 00:32:29,500 --> 00:32:34,500 will turn to beauty, and tears, crying, Prejudice, poverty, 510 00:32:34,500 --> 00:32:38,400 despair racism, all of it will be eradicated and cast outside 511 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,900 the kingdom of Shalom. The kingdom of peace. 512 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,700 I'll because of a humble King who lived I buried in was rose 513 00:32:45,700 --> 00:32:48,400 again. And so in the here, and now we 514 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,800 want to see Kingdom Come burst forth into the presence and give 515 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:55,600 a snapshot a picture and appetizer, a foretaste of the 516 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:57,700 feast that is coming. That's why we gather on Sundays 517 00:32:57,700 --> 00:33:00,400 church because she just got out of the grave and we're going to 518 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,300 celebrate forever. It's going to be vibrant life 519 00:33:02,300 --> 00:33:04,300 getting. This is just a picture of for 520 00:33:04,300 --> 00:33:09,300 taste. Our lives are the protest to the 521 00:33:09,300 --> 00:33:12,900 world showing where true peace can be found a peace. 522 00:33:12,900 --> 00:33:15,700 That passes worldly. Understanding that says it, does 523 00:33:15,700 --> 00:33:20,300 it make sense? And we point them to Jesus and 524 00:33:20,300 --> 00:33:24,300 said you're right, it doesn't. But for God, our hope is not in 525 00:33:24,300 --> 00:33:26,800 money. Fame political religious power, 526 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:31,500 might, but rather in a crucified and risen Messiah. 527 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:36,900 So on this Palm Sunday, maybe reflect on the promise of Peace. 528 00:33:37,700 --> 00:33:41,200 Offer to us. The pathway of peace that were 529 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:46,700 invited to walk. And the person of Peace Jesus 530 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,500 who gave his life to Ransom and redeem us.
