1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:05,800 Speaker 1: Let us pray, then, said Paul, unto him, God shall 2 00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:09,800 Speaker 1: smite thee thou wight at wall for sittest thou to 3 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:13,800 Speaker 1: judge me after the law and commandest me to be 4 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:21,160 Speaker 1: smitten contrary to the Law Acts twenty three three. Heavenly Father, 5 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 1: when deceitful people plot against me to hinder and derail 6 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 1: the purposes of my life, Like Paul in to day's reading, 7 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,600 Speaker 1: I thank you that you have a special messenger that 8 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,599 Speaker 1: will relay the plans of the enemy to those who 9 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 1: can shift and redirect my steps to safety.

I declare that no plan of the enemy 14 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 1: will thwart thee eternal plans of God.

Therefore, I will not be 18 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 1: moved by the shouts and words of others. I will 19 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: not allow their ignorance to overshadow my significance. I acknowledge 20 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: today that I am called, and because I am called, 21 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: no man can cancel what you've already approved in Jesus' name. Amen, 22 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,040 Speaker 1: thanks for making prayer a priority in your life to 23 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: hear the Bible come to life. Stay tuned for the 24 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: Bible in a year brought to you by Bible in 25 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: a year dot. 26 00:01:52,800 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 2: Com whitewashed tombs. 27 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 3: In our last story, Paul attempted to make peace with 28 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 3: the Jews in Jerusalem by adhering to their ceremonies. However, 29 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:18,279 Speaker 3: his reputation for starting churches preceded him. Paul was universally 30 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,079 Speaker 3: hated among the Jews in Jerusalem, so they beat him 31 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 3: and tried to kill him. Luckily, he was saved by 32 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 3: the Judge of Jerusalem, where Paul would get a fair 33 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 3: trial as a Roman citizen. Now we see that the 34 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 3: Jews refuse to let Paul receive a fair and just trial. 35 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 3: They are held bent on killing him, so the judge 36 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 3: is forced to send him away to the governor one 37 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 3: step closer to Rome. Inspired by the Book of Acts Galatians, Philippians, 38 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 3: first Thessalonians, Ephesians, and first Corinthians. 39 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,519 Speaker 4: We're so glad you've joined us on the Bible in 40 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,799 Speaker 4: any year podcast Today.

In our 52 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 4: previous episode, Paul returned to Jerusalem. He sought to be 53 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 4: at peace, even participating in Jewish religious traditions in order 54 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 4: to demonstrate to believing Jews, that is, Jews who believed 55 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 4: in Jesus, that he was not rejecting or despising ancient tradition. However, 56 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 4: this piece was soon shattered as unbelieving Jews from Asia, 57 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 4: who had heard of Paul's ministry and despised him, stirred 58 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 4: up the entire city against him. It nearly cost Paul 59 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 4: his life, but he had appealed to the Roman judge 60 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 4: on the basis of his Roman citizenship, and his life 61 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,919 Speaker 4: was spared, though he would have to stand trial with 62 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 4: the Jewish religious council. So today we'll hear as Paul 63 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 4: appears before the Pharisees, Sadducees and elders of Jerusalem. The 64 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 4: divided panel will fail to come to a conclusion about Paul, 65 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 4: and Paul would be referred to the governor for trial. 66 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 4: This frustrated council will plot to kill Paul, but God 67 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 4: will once again spare his life. So listen now to 68 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 4: the reading of God's word. 69 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 3: Paul stood before the council of Pharisees and elders. The 70 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 3: judge was above them, all observing their dialogue to make 71 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 3: a decision. Dried blood was kicked on the side of 72 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 3: Paul's face as he looked at the crowd. His knee 73 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 3: was swollen from yesterday's beating. It throbbed as he stood 74 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 3: before his accusers. My brothers, I have lived my whole 75 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 3: life with a clear conscience. I the High Priest, slapped 76 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 3: Paul on the side of his face. He ordered the 77 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 3: other men to do the same. One by one. They 78 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 3: struck him. With every blow, Paul became more and more angry. 79 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 3: Blood dripped down from his ears. Paul paused for a 80 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 3: long moment. You whitewashed tomb, He scowled, his voice raised 81 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 3: for the whole room to hear. His bones shook with anger. 82 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 3: He could no longer endure their hypocrisy. You judge me 83 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 3: because I broke your law, But here you are raising 84 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 3: your hand against a brother disobeying your own law. Shut up. 85 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 3: One of them shouted, don't you know you are speaking 86 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,679 Speaker 3: to the high priest. Paul rolled his neck back and thought. 87 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 3: For a moment. He looked at the crowd. He saw 88 00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 3: that some of them were Pharisees and others were Sodyces. Perfect, 89 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 3: Paul thought to himself. The Pharisees believed in resurrection from 90 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 3: the dead, spirit and angels. Sodyces, however, did not. It 91 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 3: was a highly debated topic of the time and caused 92 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 3: a great amount of division in the culture. Rather than 93 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 3: argue with his accusers, he decided to pit them against 94 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 3: one another. My brothers, please forgive me, Paul said, with 95 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,359 Speaker 3: an apologetic smile. I was simply hoping in the resurrection 96 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 3: from the dead. I presume that is why I am 97 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 3: on trial. Paul remained silent. After this, he could hear 98 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 3: mumbles and murmurings from the crowd. Small conversations arose from 99 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,359 Speaker 3: different corners of the room, and soon the entire court 100 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,599 Speaker 3: house was in an uproar Pharisees and sodyces arguing over 101 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 3: spiritual matters. Paul chuckled to himself, remembering when he was 102 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,279 Speaker 3: as petty and prideful as they were. They argued for 103 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 3: a while, but eventually turned their regression towards Paul. All 104 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 3: afraid that he might be ripped to shreds, the judge 105 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 3: took him away and made arrangements for him to go 106 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 3: to the governor for a trial. So Paul spent yet 107 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 3: another night in a cold jail cell. He could hear 108 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 3: the clamoring of people outside. His heart ached for the 109 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 3: Ephesian Church. He prayed that they were living in their identities. 110 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 3: He missed the Philippin Church. He thanked God for their 111 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 3: partnership and the Gospel. He worried for the Corinthan Church. 112 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 3: He prayed that their hearts would turn back to God. 113 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 3: He rejoiced over the Thessalonian Church. He prayed that they 114 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 3: would remain steadfast and unbroken. He anguished over the Galatian Church, 115 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 3: yet he had hoped that they would reunite with the 116 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 3: Gospel of Grace. All these people Paul had seen grow 117 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 3: and follow Jesus. He loved them all with a father's heart. 118 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,119 Speaker 3: He worried that he would never see any of them again. 119 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 3: As Paul closed his eyes and drifted slowly to sleep, 120 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 3: he felt the comforting voice of God's spirit saying, be strong, 121 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 3: wrong and courageous, for I am sending you to Rome. 122 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 3: As Paul slept soundly in his cell, the Jews plotted 123 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 3: to kill him. The next day, under the cover of night, 124 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 3: they conspired to murder him. It was their plan to 125 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 3: ask the judge for another trial, and while Paul was 126 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 3: being led to the courthouse, they would send thirty men 127 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 3: to kill him. It was a simple plan, but fool 128 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 3: proof if they could get the judge to agree to 129 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 3: another trial. However, an agent of the Lord was present 130 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 3: in the shadows, An unknowing minister of his will was 131 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 3: listening in on their conversation. A small boy hid between 132 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,959 Speaker 3: two beryls, listening to the Jews conspiring to kill Paul. 133 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 3: This little boy was Paul's nephew. Paul's nephew informed the 134 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 3: judge about the plot to kill him, so the judge 135 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 3: gathered two hundred men to escort Paul to felix the governor. 136 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 4: We began today's reading with Paul addressing the Council of 137 00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 4: the High Priest, Pharisees and Elders of Jerusalem. He was 138 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 4: barely able to get his first words out before the 139 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,959 Speaker 4: high priests and an Aas turned to violence, ordering those 140 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 4: near Paul to strike him on the mouth and silence him. 141 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,559 Speaker 4: In response, we hear Paul rebuke them in Acts twenty three, 142 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,680 Speaker 4: verse three, saying, God is going to strike you, you 143 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 4: whitewashed wall. Are you sitting to judge me according to 144 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 4: the law, and yet contrary to the law, you order 145 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 4: me to be struck. In calling out the hypocrisy and 146 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 4: the hatred of those who were judging him, Paul's words 147 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 4: harkened back to Christ's own condemnation of the Pharisees, whom 148 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 4: he called white washed tombs. Whitewashing walls or tombs does 149 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 4: not change what is behind the exterior visage, and the 150 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 4: council's grandstanding and piety did not change the condition of 151 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 4: their unbelieving hearts the fact that they desperately needed genuine salvation. 152 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 4: They needed Jesus Christ, the Messiah and savior of the world. 153 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:01,079 Speaker 4: Paul then noted that among these men there was no unity. 154 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 4: The council was made up of Pharisees as well as Sadducees, 155 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,959 Speaker 4: the latter of which did not believe in bodily resurrection 156 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 4: from the dead. Knowing he could not argue his way 157 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 4: out of this situation, Paul made use of the disagreement 158 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 4: among these men, stating that he was being put on 159 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 4: trials simply because he had hope in the resurrection. In this, 160 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 4: Paul was completely truthful, because he did have great hope 161 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 4: in the resurrection of Jesus and therefore the resurrection of 162 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,439 Speaker 4: his own body, because of what Christ had accomplished and promised. 163 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 4: Jesus said, I am the resurrection in the life, and 164 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 4: he that believes in me, though he be dead, he 165 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 4: will live. And though the Pharisees didn't hope in the 166 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 4: same way in the resurrection, they found themselves backed into 167 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 4: a corner. They could not condemn Paul for affirming something 168 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,959 Speaker 4: that they believed so dearly, the resurrection of the dead. 169 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 4: So some advocated for his release. As the dissension among 170 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 4: the group grew more and more heeded violence began to irrupt. 171 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 4: The Roman judge, who stood observing the proceedings, was worried 172 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 4: that Paul would be ripped to shreds, so he shut 173 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 4: things down and sent him back to the barracks. That 174 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 4: very night, the Lord appeared to Paul to comfort and 175 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 4: strengthen him, telling him to take courage because this was 176 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 4: not the end of the road for him. You see, 177 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 4: even in the moment of trial, God was working out 178 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 4: his purposes. Just as Paul had testified to the Gospel 179 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 4: in Jerusalem, he would soon have the opportunity to go 180 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 4: to Rome and to share Jesus Christ at the very 181 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 4: seat of power. More than a simple side note to 182 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 4: this story, this is the main point. God works all 183 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 4: things for the good of those who love Him and 184 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 4: are fulfilling his purposes. This is Romans eight twenty eight 185 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 4: in the New Testament. Let me quote it. For God 186 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 4: is working all things together for the good to them 187 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 4: who love the Lord, to those who are called according 188 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,439 Speaker 4: to his purpose. Of course, Paul was not out of 189 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 4: danger yet as he sat in his cell. That not 190 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 4: in Jerusalem, the leader there began to plot his murder. 191 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 4: They planned to ask the judge for another trial the 192 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 4: next morning, but this was only to kill him before 193 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 4: he could even arrive at the courthouse. But as we know, 194 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 4: God had a bigger and greater plan for Paul, So 195 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 4: it should come as no surprise that their plan was uncovered. 196 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,439 Speaker 4: Paul's own nephew overheard them and alerted Paul, who warned 197 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 4: the centurion who was guarding him. So as we closed 198 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 4: today's reading, we heard how God provided safe passage for 199 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 4: Paul to leave Jerusalem, not under the cover of night, 200 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 4: but with a Roman escort of two hundred soldiers. The 201 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 4: Gospel was marching on, headed to Caesarea and Felix the governor. 202 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 4: We'll get to that the next time. Dear Lord, how 203 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 4: we thank you for the reminder that our lives are 204 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 4: always in your hands, that we could be courageous and 205 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 4: fearless in the face of death. Lord, we thank you 206 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 4: for the the resurrection and the promise of the Gospel 207 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 4: that Jesus lives. May we live in the power of 208 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 4: His cross and resurrection every day of our lives, and 209 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 4: may we always be faithful to share this good news 210 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 4: with our neighbors and the nations in Jesus' name.
