1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,900 Warning. This video may upset certain 2 00:00:03,900 --> 00:00:08,600 people because I'm going to show you the three worst punishments 3 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:12,600 in all of the Bible. Number one, king Agrippa was 4 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:17,100 punished for Pride, Herod Agrippa was the king over all of 5 00:00:17,100 --> 00:00:21,600 Judea the three years and one day he fell out with the people 6 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,400 of Tyre and sidon. Now, the scripture doesn't tell 7 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,900 us what this argument was about, but many Bible scholars believe 8 00:00:27,900 --> 00:00:31,800 is to do with the trading of Food, you see, tyre and sidon 9 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,900 which are seaports, and they didn't have a lot of Farmland, 10 00:00:34,900 --> 00:00:38,400 but on the other hand do deer, had many crops lots of farmland 11 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,400 and some where it's believed that they had a falling out. 12 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,000 Now, whatever the reason was for this falling out, there's one 13 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,600 thing we do know and it's this King, Agrippa found a solution. 14 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,600 He brought reconciliation to both sides have because of it. 15 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,900 The people of Judea loved him. And one day King Agrippa 16 00:00:56,900 --> 00:01:00,400 presented himself before the crowds he was wearing his Royal 17 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,900 robes. He sat on his throne and he gave 18 00:01:02,900 --> 00:01:06,700 an address and because the people was so Starstruck with 19 00:01:06,700 --> 00:01:12,300 his message, they cried out. This is the voice of God and not 20 00:01:12,300 --> 00:01:14,900 a man, a gripper had two choices. 21 00:01:14,900 --> 00:01:18,000 He could either correct. The people just like Paul and 22 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,700 Barnabas did when they were being worshipped and say to 23 00:01:20,700 --> 00:01:22,100 them. Stop it, guys. 24 00:01:22,100 --> 00:01:25,400 Stop it at once. I am just a fallen human being 25 00:01:25,500 --> 00:01:29,300 like you are you must not worship me or the second option 26 00:01:29,300 --> 00:01:32,800 is He could keep quiet. He could let the people believed 27 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,100 that he was some kind of Daya T and he could Rob the glory of 28 00:01:36,100 --> 00:01:39,500 God. Well, sadly King Agrippa chose 29 00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:41,800 the latter choice. And what happened? 30 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,800 Next will make your stomach churn. 31 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,900 Are you ready for it? The Bible says, then immediately 32 00:01:47,900 --> 00:01:52,000 an angel of the Lord struck him. Because he did not give glory to 33 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,600 God, and he was eaten by worms and died. 34 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,900 So here is this king? Who thought he was something 35 00:01:57,900 --> 00:02:02,000 special and he died the most? Humiliating death, some kind of 36 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:07,100 parasite likely Nordo is insides and then his three-year Reign 37 00:02:07,100 --> 00:02:10,400 and three years. And now King Agrippa is 38 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,900 forgotten and I can guarantee one thing to you. 39 00:02:12,900 --> 00:02:16,100 If you go into your local town and you walk on the streets and 40 00:02:16,100 --> 00:02:20,900 you ask people who was Herod Agrippa, I guarantee 99% of the 41 00:02:20,908 --> 00:02:24,000 people will never have heard of him, but if you go on the 42 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,500 streets and you ask the same people, have you heard of Jesus 43 00:02:27,500 --> 00:02:31,800 Christ, I guarantee that Nine percent of the people have heard 44 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,700 of the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. 45 00:02:33,700 --> 00:02:35,300 Why? Because the next verse in the 46 00:02:35,308 --> 00:02:39,700 Bible says, but the word of God grew and multiplied. 47 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,600 So herod's lost his rain after 3 years. 48 00:02:42,900 --> 00:02:47,000 But the word of God, the glory of God continued because heaven 49 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,300 and earth will pass away. But God's word, the Bible will 50 00:02:50,300 --> 00:02:53,500 never pass away. So let that be a warning to you 51 00:02:53,500 --> 00:02:56,700 and I that somewhere there is an invisible line, there is an 52 00:02:56,700 --> 00:03:00,900 invisible line between God's patience and Roll and King 53 00:03:00,900 --> 00:03:04,300 Agrippa crossed that line. So let you and I beware that 54 00:03:04,300 --> 00:03:07,400 every time we have a good gift every time we have a win. 55 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,600 Every time we have a success that while always attributed it. 56 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,900 Back up to the Lord God and saying, no not me, don't give 57 00:03:13,900 --> 00:03:16,700 glory to me. And my name give glory to the 58 00:03:16,700 --> 00:03:20,100 most high God, because everything comes from his hand, 59 00:03:20,100 --> 00:03:23,100 the good and the bad. It's all from The Sovereign, 60 00:03:23,100 --> 00:03:27,300 lord of the universe, the legend of Jeremy Lin continues, take us 61 00:03:27,300 --> 00:03:29,600 through that last shot. You were trying to push me left 62 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,400 and he backed up a little bit and I just thank my Lord. 63 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,200 My Lord and Savior. Jesus Christ for that shot, man. 64 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,200 That was thankful thankful that I went in, let me let you into a 65 00:03:38,208 --> 00:03:40,500 secret. When I first saw that clip I 66 00:03:40,508 --> 00:03:43,600 didn't really know how to process it because I wasn't 67 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,000 sure. Can we really give thanks for 68 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,200 something as trivial as a basketball game when there's all 69 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,500 the serious things going on in the world can we really sort of 70 00:03:52,500 --> 00:03:55,000 say thank you. Lord, Jesus for that and then 71 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,400 this verse entered into my mind, he holds all things together. 72 00:03:59,500 --> 00:04:02,000 Even Three-point line and praise God. 73 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,100 That he isn't saying it was my skill, but made that three-point 74 00:04:05,100 --> 00:04:07,400 shot know. I give all the praise, all the 75 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,300 glory to the Lord. Jesus Christ. 76 00:04:09,300 --> 00:04:13,600 Number two, Absalom was punished for his Rebellion against his 77 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,399 parents in the Bible. We often read about people who 78 00:04:17,399 --> 00:04:19,500 were beautiful. Joseph was beautiful. 79 00:04:19,500 --> 00:04:23,300 Rachel was David was Rudy and good-looking but there's none in 80 00:04:23,300 --> 00:04:27,300 the Bible who is described more elaborately than Absalom. 81 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,200 The scripture says now, in all this rain, Well, there was no 82 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,600 one who was praised as much as Absalom for his good. 83 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,700 Looks from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head. 84 00:04:38,900 --> 00:04:41,800 There was no blemish in him every year. 85 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,600 Absalom would take part in a rather unusual ritual because 86 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,100 his hair was so thick because it was so luscious because it was 87 00:04:49,100 --> 00:04:51,000 so long. And I can see you laughing at me 88 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,900 right now because his hair was. So if you like beautiful, do you 89 00:04:54,900 --> 00:04:57,900 know what it do? He'd get a razor and he'd shave 90 00:04:57,900 --> 00:04:59,800 it off once he had all of the hair. 91 00:04:59,900 --> 00:05:02,900 Together. He put it in one big club and 92 00:05:02,900 --> 00:05:06,200 then he'd way, it's yes. How much is hair way? 93 00:05:06,300 --> 00:05:10,600 It was 200, shackles which is about the same weight as a bag 94 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,000 of flour. In other words, absalom's Beauty 95 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,300 went to his head, we've all met the person who is really very 96 00:05:18,300 --> 00:05:22,200 attractive and we know them and we've seen how getting lots of 97 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,600 validation getting lots of Praise, has gone to their head. 98 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,600 It's filled them with an ego. That is very unsightly at times 99 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,200 and that's what I believe happened to Absalom. 100 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,800 I believe if he's being told all the time you are the most 101 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,200 beautiful man in Israel, it filled him with a sense of 102 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:42,000 self-importance where eventually he believe that he truly would 103 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,800 be a better King than God's appointed Man. 104 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,600 David. He thought he should be on the 105 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,800 throne instead and just like any over ambitious person, just like 106 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:56,000 anyone who's jealous Absalom, went to Great Lengths to deceive 107 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,800 people to try and win the people of Israel. 108 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,700 David's. For himself so that he would get 109 00:06:01,700 --> 00:06:06,400 more Fame and more Glory. This was absalom's plan early in 110 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,800 the morning, he would stand by The City Gate and there you 111 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,500 would take advantage of people who'd come to see King David, 112 00:06:13,500 --> 00:06:16,100 they come with their problems with their complaints and 113 00:06:16,100 --> 00:06:18,300 Absalom would say to them. I'm sorry. 114 00:06:18,500 --> 00:06:22,500 Oh I am sorry. The Kings too busy to see you 115 00:06:22,500 --> 00:06:24,500 today. He doesn't have time for you and 116 00:06:24,500 --> 00:06:28,500 your problems but if I was on the throne, If I Ruled, I would 117 00:06:28,500 --> 00:06:32,400 make sure you were Threat fairly, I'd make sure you will 118 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,900 listen to and each person he made feel like a million dollars 119 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,400 each person. He kissed and flattered to win 120 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,900 them, onto his side Absalon, pretended, that he cared about 121 00:06:43,900 --> 00:06:47,200 the people but he didn't care his all he cared about was his 122 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:51,700 clouds, his name and building up an empire for himself. 123 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:56,100 Eventually the news leaked into David's ears that Absalom, his 124 00:06:56,100 --> 00:06:59,700 son had gathered a rather large following and the people wanted 125 00:06:59,900 --> 00:07:02,700 In to be king and he was going to take his place. 126 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:08,300 So David out of fear, went into hiding for the second time in 127 00:07:08,300 --> 00:07:10,000 his life. But there came a point where 128 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,600 David felt. I cannot hide any longer. 129 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,400 I cannot flee with my people, any longer, they're tired, 130 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,000 they're weary, we must go to battle. 131 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,600 So he must have a number of men before him and before those men 132 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,100 went out into battle before they went out against the rebellion 133 00:07:25,100 --> 00:07:28,300 of the people who rebelled against King David, he gave them 134 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,600 one order. Dear Deal gently with the young 135 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,900 man, Absalom for my sake and friends. 136 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:40,100 My dear friends, I see that as a beautiful picture of Our Father 137 00:07:40,100 --> 00:07:44,200 Here, we are his sons, his daughters, and we've run away, 138 00:07:44,300 --> 00:07:47,300 we've rebelled were the ones in the wrong, were the ones who 139 00:07:47,300 --> 00:07:51,300 deserve to be wiped out. And yet God says, I want to deal 140 00:07:51,300 --> 00:07:55,900 gently with you because I am a gentle God and very often when I 141 00:07:55,900 --> 00:08:00,800 look around at the world and I see the pride in Men's Hearts. 142 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,700 I often ask the question. Lord. 143 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,600 When are you going to finish his off? 144 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,200 When is your judgment going to come? 145 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:10,100 Because I fear how arrogant men and women have become and then I 146 00:08:10,100 --> 00:08:14,600 remember God is a chance or God and that truly is the reason why 147 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,800 I believe we've been allowed to continue in so much immorality 148 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,000 for such a long time. But remember, remember, King 149 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:26,400 Agrippa, he cross that invisible line and there is a day when 150 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,700 mercy is cut-offs with you are sitting on the fence. 151 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,500 Ants and you have not made a decision to follow the lord. 152 00:08:32,500 --> 00:08:35,799 Jesus Christ, and you've got your foot in the world and all 153 00:08:35,799 --> 00:08:37,299 this wickedness. Repent. 154 00:08:37,299 --> 00:08:41,600 Now and turn to Christ while we are still in the day of Grace. 155 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,900 OK, back to the story, the battle between absence, man, and 156 00:08:44,900 --> 00:08:49,200 David's men took place in a forest in Ephraim, and because 157 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:53,500 the Lord was with David, he started to overpower the men of 158 00:08:53,500 --> 00:08:58,000 Israel, those who draw on their allegiance to Absalom Absalom. 159 00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,700 This is the gruesome bit Absalom. 160 00:09:00,100 --> 00:09:04,600 With pelting through the forest on his mule, when suddenly, his 161 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,800 long thick, Luscious Hair got caught on a branch, and he's 162 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,400 hanging in there on this branch and his mule carries on writing. 163 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,900 So here he is. Absalom Court hanging their 164 00:09:15,900 --> 00:09:19,600 captive by this Branch. Isn't that fascinating? 165 00:09:19,700 --> 00:09:23,700 He see the one thing that filth Absalom with self-importance, 166 00:09:23,700 --> 00:09:27,300 the one thing that everyone worships him for became the one 167 00:09:27,300 --> 00:09:31,300 thing that caused his downfall. All the scripture is, right, is 168 00:09:31,300 --> 00:09:35,700 it not when it says pride comes before destruction and their 169 00:09:35,700 --> 00:09:40,800 Absalom Hong for David's, most brutal Warrior Jo Hab? 170 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,000 Who unfortunately did not listen to The King and there he arrived 171 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,800 with 10 men and finished off the young man, Absalom for his 172 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,200 Disobedience. Number three, Jesus was punished 173 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:55,600 not for any crime, he committed. But for us and I would argue if 174 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,200 you look at all the punishments are all the ways to die, there 175 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,200 is no. It is more painful than to be 176 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:06,400 crucified in fact, because Jesus knew what the cross meant, 177 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,600 because he knew the physical suffering, and the spiritual 178 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,600 suffering. He was about to endure Bible. 179 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:16,200 Actually says, and being in agony, he prayed more earnestly, 180 00:10:16,300 --> 00:10:21,200 then his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to 181 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,600 the ground. Now, this isn't Luke, the writer 182 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,200 having artistic license. No, Luke was a physician and he 183 00:10:28,208 --> 00:10:31,600 was describing a real. Real medical condition called 184 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,700 hematite grossest. And if you don't take my word 185 00:10:34,700 --> 00:10:38,200 for it, listen to this modern-day doctor describe it. 186 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,800 Yeah, I believe that Christ suffering and the demonstration 187 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,400 of the kind of of physiologic stress that his human body was 188 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:49,300 under is manifested in the Garden of Gethsemane where it's 189 00:10:49,300 --> 00:10:51,900 described that he was sweating blood. 190 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,100 There is well, documented medical condition in which 191 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,200 patients who are under tremendous amount of emotional 192 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,300 stress and physical. Logical stress can, in fact, 193 00:11:01,300 --> 00:11:04,900 sweat blood because little blood vessels within the glands burst 194 00:11:04,900 --> 00:11:08,500 and then the blood is expressed for Jesus was crucified. 195 00:11:08,500 --> 00:11:10,700 The Bible tells us he was flogged. 196 00:11:10,700 --> 00:11:14,700 Now the way the Romans used to flog people was really rather 197 00:11:14,700 --> 00:11:17,200 barbaric. You see they would have a handle 198 00:11:17,300 --> 00:11:21,900 and on the handle was seven strips of leather and attached 199 00:11:21,900 --> 00:11:24,000 to. Each strip was bits of broken 200 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,800 up, glass bits of nail bits of bone. 201 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,900 So as they whipped the person it would take with Them a chunk of 202 00:11:30,900 --> 00:11:35,000 Flesh, they'd Whip It, draw it back in until literally chunks 203 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,800 of tissue and muscle would drawn away from the bone. 204 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,700 After they flocked, the Lord Jesus Christ. 205 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:46,300 After he was beaten, they took him and they told him you must 206 00:11:46,300 --> 00:11:49,500 carry your cross. So the Lord Jesus did the very 207 00:11:49,500 --> 00:11:52,900 best he could, but there came a point where physically he could 208 00:11:52,900 --> 00:11:56,300 not take another step, he collapsed under the weight of 209 00:11:56,300 --> 00:11:59,600 the Cross, and a man, Simon the Cyrene. 210 00:11:59,900 --> 00:12:04,100 Had to carry it for him. Eventually they both reach 211 00:12:04,100 --> 00:12:09,100 Golgotha the place of the skull and when Jesus arrived the Roman 212 00:12:09,100 --> 00:12:14,500 soldiers took the garments off him and there he stood ashamed, 213 00:12:14,700 --> 00:12:17,900 totally bad. And then they took my savior and 214 00:12:17,900 --> 00:12:22,300 they nailed him to a cross. Now very often in the paintings, 215 00:12:22,300 --> 00:12:25,400 in the books. In the movies, we see that Jesus 216 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,600 Christ had nails through the very center of his faults, but I 217 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,400 Actually, that's not totally accurate because very recently 218 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:37,300 archaeologists found an artifact of a person's foot to had been 219 00:12:37,300 --> 00:12:41,600 crucified and it proved that the nail actually went through the 220 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,000 side of the foot rather in the ankle that would hold them in 221 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,100 place and if you ask doctors, they can confirm that 222 00:12:48,100 --> 00:12:51,400 anatomically. It is still classed as the foot. 223 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:55,100 So the scripture is still very much fulfilled that says they 224 00:12:55,100 --> 00:13:01,200 pierced my hands and my feet, see him there the One hanging on 225 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:06,000 that cross, his back is lacerated pressed up against a 226 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,300 horrible, rugged, rough cross and there. 227 00:13:09,300 --> 00:13:13,300 He hangs there ashamed. On top of that, remember, he had 228 00:13:13,300 --> 00:13:17,100 a crown of thorns smashed into his skull and these Thorns 229 00:13:17,100 --> 00:13:20,200 weren't tiny little thistles that we might see on a rose. 230 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,600 Bush know the plant is believed to have been used has thorns 231 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:28,000 that were between one and two inches long and then Isaiah 232 00:13:28,100 --> 00:13:31,600 writes that they plucked. Doubt the Lord Jesus Christ 233 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,800 beard, they plucked out the messiah's beard and could it be 234 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,200 when those soldiers mocked him? When they struck him and said 235 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:42,000 prophesy to his old Christ? Tell us who struck you. 236 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:46,300 Could it be as they slapped him, they took with it, a chunk of 237 00:13:46,308 --> 00:13:49,500 his beard there. He is ashamed. 238 00:13:49,500 --> 00:13:52,300 Bleeding there dying. What you probably didn't know is 239 00:13:52,300 --> 00:13:55,900 that crucifixion was death by Suffocation. 240 00:13:55,900 --> 00:13:58,900 If every single one of you just opened your arms out like this 241 00:13:58,900 --> 00:14:03,000 for a moment, You'll notice it becomes harder to Exhale. 242 00:14:03,100 --> 00:14:06,100 Now, imagine that for hours on end for days on end, just 243 00:14:06,100 --> 00:14:08,800 holding your arms out like that slowly. 244 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,700 The oxygen levels in your body, decrease and you'll slowly 245 00:14:12,700 --> 00:14:17,000 suffocating to the point where your lungs get damaged and your 246 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,300 heart gets damaged, which can even lead to the heart bursting 247 00:14:21,300 --> 00:14:25,600 which is called cardiac rupture. And that is why many doctors 248 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,600 believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died from a heart attack. 249 00:14:29,700 --> 00:14:33,200 Back whilst he was on the cross. But here's the question, every 250 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,500 single one of you should be asking right now, well I did the 251 00:14:36,500 --> 00:14:40,100 Lord Jesus Christ have to endure, such a terrible 252 00:14:40,100 --> 00:14:42,300 punishment. What was the crime that he 253 00:14:42,300 --> 00:14:46,300 committed that he would have to suffer such horrific death? 254 00:14:46,300 --> 00:14:50,100 What did he do? The answer is nothing, the Lord, 255 00:14:50,100 --> 00:14:53,400 Jesus Christ, never committed any sin. 256 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,400 He never laid his hands on anyone to hurt them. 257 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,400 So we did not deserve the nails through his hands. 258 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,900 He Run away to places or walked into places. 259 00:15:02,900 --> 00:15:06,900 He should not be with his feet. So he did not deserve the nails 260 00:15:06,900 --> 00:15:09,900 through his feet. He never thought a wrong. 261 00:15:09,900 --> 00:15:13,700 Wicked on clean thought, like we do on a daily basis. 262 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,700 So we did not deserve the crown of thorns, the Lord. 263 00:15:16,700 --> 00:15:21,200 Jesus Christ was totally obedient to God and you and I, 264 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:25,300 as we know, have totally been disobedient to our God, but what 265 00:15:25,300 --> 00:15:28,600 I'm going to say next will shock some of you but did you know 266 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,400 this, those Physical sufferings that we've just described and 267 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,000 not the worst parts of the cross. 268 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,800 That was not the worst part of the suffering that Jesus endured 269 00:15:38,900 --> 00:15:42,400 know the spiritual suffering was far worse. 270 00:15:42,500 --> 00:15:45,500 The Bible says, between the sixth and the ninth hour, 271 00:15:45,500 --> 00:15:48,500 Darkness fell in the land. And between those three hours, 272 00:15:48,500 --> 00:15:54,300 Jesus, cried with a loud voice. My God, my God, why have you 273 00:15:54,308 --> 00:15:58,400 forsaken me? And in those three hours, God, 274 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,800 poured out all of this. Roth, all of his judgment on 275 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,600 Jesus Christ. It's almost, as if God, the 276 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,900 Father rolled up his sleeves and he reached into every person's 277 00:16:08,900 --> 00:16:11,500 heart in the world. And he pulled out all of the 278 00:16:11,500 --> 00:16:16,300 Rebellion, all of the grime, all of the sin, all of the pride, 279 00:16:16,300 --> 00:16:19,500 all of the vanity. All that, cine put it in one big 280 00:16:19,500 --> 00:16:22,600 ball and he embedded it on the Lord Jesus Christ and there he 281 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:26,100 crushed the Lord there, he bruised him there, he punished 282 00:16:26,100 --> 00:16:28,000 him there. The Roth that was on us that 283 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,100 abides on all of us all All of us Sons and Daughters of 284 00:16:31,100 --> 00:16:34,300 Disobedience. That Roth was turned away from 285 00:16:34,300 --> 00:16:37,700 owners and it was turned on to Jesus Christ. 286 00:16:37,700 --> 00:16:40,100 In that one moment, that finite moment. 287 00:16:40,100 --> 00:16:44,600 All the sins of the world were put on him and there he paid the 288 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,900 price, they're Justice was done because God felt it was 289 00:16:48,900 --> 00:16:51,800 acceptable. This sacrifice the Lamb of God 290 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,400 who takes away the sins of the world that Christ died in my 291 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,500 room in my stead. He stood there so that I could 292 00:16:58,500 --> 00:17:02,800 be forgiven and You remember just one thing from this video, 293 00:17:02,900 --> 00:17:05,400 please remember this. Jesus did that? 294 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,500 Because he loves you, he loves you with an everlasting. 295 00:17:08,500 --> 00:17:10,800 Love, no one pushed him to go to the Cross. 296 00:17:10,900 --> 00:17:14,200 No one forced him to do that. No, Jesus says, I've laid down 297 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:18,700 my life willingly because I love you and he did that so that he 298 00:17:18,700 --> 00:17:21,800 might have a relationship, a friendship with you. 299 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,300 And, you know, the story, well, you know, he died, he died this 300 00:17:25,300 --> 00:17:27,500 terrible death.
