Redemption is a financial term. Actually, 33 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 3: whenever I think of redemption, I think about people being transformed, 34 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 3: their lives being healed, God Almighty, taking shameful places and 35 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 3: making those honorable places, taking people in the background and 36 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 3: then moving them to the front. 37 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I love redemption. 38 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 3: But when it comes to the understanding of redemption, it 39 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 3: has to do with the price that you pay for 40 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,359 Speaker 3: a slave. Hello, friends, this is Troy Brewer and I'm 41 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 3: a senior pastor here at Open Door Church, and today, guys, 42 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,919 Speaker 3: we're going to be looking at something that the Bible 43 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 3: calls blood money. It's a really big deal to understand 44 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 3: that God on money really does not want us to 45 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 3: take advantage of other people. He doesn't want us to 46 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 3: be selfish. Barabbas is a really good example of that. 47 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 3: Once you see this, you're never gonna be able to 48 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 3: unsee it because it's a part of everything going on 49 00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 3: around us. I promise you you're gonna love this. This is 50 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 3: the open door experience. 51 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,079 Speaker 4: All my friends that are watching all over the planet earth. 52 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 3: Man, I bless you guys and call you guys blessed 53 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 3: and say thank you so much for coming today, Thank 54 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 3: you so much for showing up.

We're talking about 66 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 3: the death and the burial and the victorious resurrection of 67 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 3: the Lord Jesus Christ.

Matthew twenty seven is where we're going 77 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 3: to be at today because I want to talk to 78 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 3: you again. There's two main themes in this and Matthew 79 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 3: Chapter twenty seven actually has both of them.

It really truly is, 86 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 3: And in light of the demonic global agenda and all 87 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,600 Speaker 3: of the uncertainty of how things are going to be 88 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 3: in the future, is just so important in the midst 89 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 3: of such shaking to remember that Jesus is enough to go, Okay, well, 90 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 3: I'm not sure what's going to happen. Well, I'm sure 91 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 3: that Jesus is going to be there, and Jesus is enough. 92 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 3: He always gets me through stuff.

He's like, it is an 107 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,799 Speaker 3: absolute certainty that you're going to deal with painful events. 108 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 3: An offense is a painful event. Like, oh no, no, 109 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 3: don't be preaching that now. I do want to preach that, 110 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 3: because what's really is, as Jesus stretches you, and as 111 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 3: you grow, and as you decide to get involved in 112 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 3: certain things, and as you make commitments, and as you 113 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 3: as the Lord continues to take you here, a little there, 114 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 3: little line up online, preset upon precept from faith to faith, 115 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 3: from glory to glory, from everlasting under everlasting, from deep 116 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,479 Speaker 3: under deep. I've been preaching a long time. I know 117 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 3: a whole bunch of those things. And like you just 118 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 3: keep going boom boom boom boom boom boom boom. What's 119 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 3: really is, every single time you're going to hit your threshold. 120 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 3: And let me tell you what your threshold is.

It is your 122 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 3: pain tolerance. 123 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 4: That's it. 124 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 3: You've gone as high as your pain tolerance will allow 125 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 3: you to go. 126 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 4: Right now, Like, well, that's not true. 127 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 3: What's true is in this woke world that we live in, 128 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 3: nobody will give me a chance blowney, you've been bitten 129 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 3: by a viper and quit talking to snakes. I'm telling 130 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 3: you right now, you have the resurrection power of the 131 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,559 Speaker 3: Lord Jesus Christ within you. You have the mind of Christ. 132 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 3: And you don't need everybody else's approval. You don't need 133 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 3: anybody else's permission, You don't need any of those things. 134 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 4: Get up in Jesus' name, Get up and like, okay, well, 135 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 4: what's REALI is no. 136 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 3: The reason why you haven't gone any further than however 137 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 3: far you've gone is because you've said that hurts too 138 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 3: much for me to go higher. 139 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 4: Your threshold is your pain level. 140 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 3: And I want to tell you Jesus is going to 141 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 3: take you into painful places like no, you won't know 142 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 3: you won't. 143 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, he will. 144 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 3: When he says pick up your cross and follow me, 145 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 3: it literally is pick up your cross, and it's just 146 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 3: not easy to pick it up. 147 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 4: But that's the walk. That's what we do. 148 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 3: Thank God that we have the power and the presence 149 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 3: of the Holy Spirit, which is called the comforter. Aren't 150 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 3: you glad man that you have the comforter within your life? 151 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 3: But real Christianity is in fact painful Christianity because he 152 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 3: causes you to leave your natural comfort zone follow him 153 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 3: into his supernatural place of comfort where you live in 154 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 3: the shaloam of the Lord, instead of your ability to 155 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 3: be able to figure everything out. That's important that you 156 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 3: have mastery within your life. I'm not saying that that's 157 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 3: a long night. In fact, a lot of us we 158 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 3: haven't gained mastery in our finances, or in our marriages, 159 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 3: or in our relationships. 160 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 4: Or with our kids. 161 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,199 Speaker 3: We haven't strove for those things, and we don't have 162 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 3: it because it's just too painful for us to wrap 163 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 3: our heads around that. I say this all the time 164 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 3: and I will continue to say it, friends, that it 165 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 3: is one thing for God to give you the plan. 166 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 4: It is a whole other thing for you to conform 167 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 4: your life to the image of God's plant. Those are 168 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 4: two different things. Friends. 169 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 3: We have over sixty some odd people that are coming 170 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 3: back today from Mexico, and while they were there, while 171 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 3: they were feeding people, while they were loving people, while 172 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,559 Speaker 3: they were blessing people, while they were being a part 173 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 3: of other people's stories, God told them, this is who 174 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 3: I need you to be, and this is what I 175 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 3: need you to do, and this is what I warned 176 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 3: all of my team yesterday when I was in Acunya, Mexico. 177 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 4: Is this right now. 178 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 3: You're having a mountaintop experience and you're experiencing the Lord 179 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 3: Jesus Christ, and you're like, oh, this is who I 180 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 3: am and this is what I'm going to do. But 181 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 3: you're going to get back and you're going to be 182 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:46,319 Speaker 3: surrounded by people that do not get it. Do it anyway, 183 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 3: do it anyway, and carry it out once you're not. 184 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 4: Comforted in that place. 185 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 3: My beautiful bride mentioned it while ago, and she said, 186 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 3: you know, whenever God might have gave them the Promised Land, 187 00:09:58,160 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 3: eight of them came I'm sorry. 188 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 4: Ten of them came back and said it's too much. 189 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 4: It's too big. It's just too big. 190 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 3: We need a dumb everything down and dial everything back 191 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 3: and give up on the promises of God. And what 192 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 3: they're doing in that moment is they're choosing something other. 193 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 4: Than what Jesus is. 194 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,559 Speaker 3: They're choosing something other than what God says, They're choosing 195 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 3: something other than what the heart of the Lord is. 196 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:28,959 Speaker 3: And basically they're saying, give me Barabbas. Today, guys, we're 197 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,079 Speaker 3: going to talk about that. There's two different people here 198 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 3: that we're going to look at today that are caught 199 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 3: up at all these events. And one is the issue 200 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 3: of the field of blood and blood money that goes 201 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 3: with brother Judas, and the other one is choosing something 202 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 3: other than Jesus, which is the issue with Barrabas. Matthew 203 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,559 Speaker 3: Chapter twenty seven is where we're at. Here we go, 204 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 3: and when the morning came, all the chief priests and 205 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 3: elders of the people plotted against Jesus to put him 206 00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 3: to death. And when they bound him, they let him away, 207 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 3: and they delivered him to ponscious Pilot. The governor then 208 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 3: Judas his betrayer. Seeing that he had been condemned, he 209 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 3: was remorseful, and he brought back the thirty pieces of 210 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 3: silver to the chief priests and the elder saying, I 211 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 3: have sinned by betraying the innocent blood. 212 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 4: And they said, what is as to us? You see 213 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 4: to it. 214 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 3: Whenever Judas came back, he felt really bad about what 215 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 3: was happening. So he said, I'm going to lay down money. 216 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 3: I'm going to pay for my own redemption, and I 217 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,319 Speaker 3: want you guys to bless me. And they said, that's 218 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 3: your problem. Religion will always tell you it's your problem. 219 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 3: You are the problem, and we have no responsibility here. 220 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 3: You know, ponscious Pilot is about to do the same 221 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 3: exact thing. He said, you know, I'm washing my hands. 222 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 3: This is not my issue, this is your issue. See, 223 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 3: people who walk with King Jesus accept the responsibility and 224 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 3: say I need to own this. I need to own 225 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 3: the impact of it. But religious people will never do that. 226 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 3: They will never do that. So then after that it 227 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 3: says he threw down the pieces of silver in the temple. 228 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 4: Notice he didn't throw it down outside. 229 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 3: He threw it down inside the temple because he wants 230 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 3: to buy his own redemption. And then it says this, 231 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 3: Then he departed, and he went out and he hanged himself. 232 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,839 Speaker 3: But the chief priest took the silver pieces, and they said, well, 233 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 3: it's not lawful for us to put this into our treasury, 234 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 3: because you know they're the price of blood. And they 235 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 3: consulted together and bought with them the potters filled and 236 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 3: that's the place where you bury stranger's in. Therefore the 237 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 3: field has been called the field of blood to this day. 238 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 3: And then it was fulfilled that was spoken by Jeremiah 239 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 3: almost five hundred years earlier, saying, and they took thirty 240 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 3: pieces of silver the value of him who was priced, 241 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 3: whom they have the children of Israel price, and gave 242 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 3: them for the potter's field, as the Lord directed me. 243 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 4: Verse eleven. 244 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 3: Now Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, 245 00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 3: are you the king of the Jews? And Jesus said 246 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 3: to him, you tell me it is as you say, 247 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 3: is how it's translated here? And the king, Jaesus says, 248 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 3: now sayest it, let me tell you what the modern 249 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 3: day translation of that is. Jesus answered and said, you 250 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 3: tell me who I am. See, because ponscious Pilot is 251 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 3: the one that is on trial. Jesus is not the 252 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 3: one that is on trial. We're we're about to cover 253 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,959 Speaker 3: that and so verse twelve. And while he was being 254 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 3: accused by the chief priests and elders, he didn't say 255 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 3: anything to them. Then Pilot said to him, do you 256 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 3: hear how many things that they testify against you? But 257 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 3: he didn't answer one single word, so that the governor 258 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 3: marveled greatly. Now at the feast of the governor, it 259 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:44,199 Speaker 3: was accustomed to releasing to the multitude one prison one 260 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 3: prisoner whom they wish, and at that time they had 261 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 3: a notorious prisoner by the name of Barabbas. And then therefore, 262 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 3: when they had gathered together, Pilot said to them, well, 263 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,319 Speaker 3: who do you want me to release to you? Barrabas 264 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 3: or Jesus, who has called the Christ? For he knew 265 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 3: that they had handed him over because of envy. And 266 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,559 Speaker 3: while he was sitting on his judgment seat catch this, 267 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,679 Speaker 3: his wife sent word to him saying, you don't need 268 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 3: to have anything to do with that just man, because 269 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 3: I have suffered terrible things in a dream because of him. 270 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 3: But the chief priests and the elders, they had persuaded 271 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 3: the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus. 272 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 3: And the governor answered, instead of them, which of the 273 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 3: two do you want me to release to you? And 274 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 3: they said Barabbas. And Paula said, what then shall I 275 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 3: do with Jesus, who has called the Christ? And they 276 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 3: all said let him be crucified. And then the governor said, 277 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 3: why what evil has he? What evil has he done? 278 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 3: Because see the only reason anybody would be executed by 279 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 3: crucifixion was if they had done something against Rome. And 280 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 3: He's like, well, he might have offended you, and I 281 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 3: could see you. 282 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 4: Guys wanting to stone him to death. But what what 283 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 4: what has he done? 284 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 3: Like it's I don't even know that it's lawful for 285 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 3: me to crucify him. And then he says when Pola 286 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 3: saw that he could not prevail it all, but rather 287 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 3: that they had become a mob, he took water and 288 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 3: he washed his hands in this ceremony before the multitude, 289 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 3: saying I am innocent of the blood of this just person. 290 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 4: You own this. You see to it now. You see 291 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 4: that happens twice. 292 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 3: It happens once among the religious leaders, and then it 293 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 3: happens again with conscious pilot saying, hey, I don't own this. 294 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 3: You own this, when actually they're the ones that are 295 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 3: on trial. 296 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 4: Jesus is not on trial. You know, there are certain 297 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 4: testament that you just got to pass. 298 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 3: There's even all this drama that's going on within his 299 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 3: own house that in the Miswai, he's sitting on the 300 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 3: judgment seat and he's trying to figure out what to 301 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 3: do and how to do it. His watch sends worked 302 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 3: to him and says, hey, I had a dream about 303 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 3: terrible things that are going to happen to me because 304 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 3: of what's happening here. 305 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 4: And you need to have nothing to do with any 306 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 4: of this. 307 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 3: So his way of not having anything to do with 308 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 3: it was to actually have him crucified, but then to 309 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 3: ceremoniously wash his hands and go through his own religious 310 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 3: ritual just like Judas did, and say I don't own this, 311 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 3: when actually he did on it. 312 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 4: Verse twenty five. And all the people. 313 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 3: Answered and said his blood be on us and on 314 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 3: our children. And then he released Brabustom and when he 315 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 3: had scourged Jesus, he delivered in to be crucified. I 316 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 3: want to talk to you about two concepts that are 317 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 3: in this text of scripture that are a really big deal. 318 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 3: One is blood money, and the other one is a 319 00:16:53,960 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 3: blood curse. Blood money and a blood curse. A blood money, guys, 320 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 3: I want to say about blood money. Blood money is 321 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 3: a really big deal in heaven. It's a really big deal. 322 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 3: And I want to encourage you guys to do your 323 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,479 Speaker 3: own study. Just Google search blood money. You're gonna get 324 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,360 Speaker 3: to get past some movies, you're gonna have to get 325 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,639 Speaker 3: past some books, and then you're going to get into 326 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,239 Speaker 3: the biblical idea. If you do blood money and then 327 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 3: go Bible and do a search like that. And just 328 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 3: look at how much the Bible has to say about 329 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 3: something that is called blood money. 330 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,880 Speaker 4: I have. I started a study on this last. 331 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:32,159 Speaker 3: Year about blood money because I was triggered by a 332 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 3: personal dream.

Now my 393 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 3: dad passed away two years ago, and I dreamed I 394 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 3: saw lots of people and I saw this guy and 395 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,920 Speaker 3: when he walked up to me, I recognized his voice, 396 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:55,160 Speaker 3: but I didn't recognize him. 397 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 4: And he said, he said, you didn't recognize me, did you? Boy? 398 00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 3: I said, no, sir, I've never seen you like this. 399 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 3: And he said, no, you never see me like this. 400 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 4: And we had this. 401 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 3: He wanted to talk to me about the father's heart 402 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 3: towards me, about how important it was that I finished 403 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,399 Speaker 3: the things that Jesus was doing within me, how that 404 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 3: we had very little time left and for me to 405 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 3: get after it. 406 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 4: And then one of the things that he. 407 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 3: Told me in this dream was this, you have never 408 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 3: been a part of blood money, and do not be 409 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:27,159 Speaker 3: a part of blood money. 410 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 4: Blood money in heaven is a big deal. And it 411 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:31,479 Speaker 4: really startled me. 412 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,919 Speaker 3: And when I woke up out of this dream, I'm 413 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 3: telling you, I woke up, jumped out of bed, wrote 414 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,119 Speaker 3: down the whole vision, which is very important for you 415 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 3: to do that, man, You. 416 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 4: Need to journal your dreams. 417 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 3: And I did all that, and then I went and 418 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 3: busted out my computer and I looked up blood money 419 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 3: and I started doing it. 420 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 4: And it's such a big deal. In the Word of God, 421 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 4: such a big deal. 422 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 3: And blood money is some kind of a compensation that 423 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 3: is paid by an offender to a family. 424 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,160 Speaker 4: Because as you murdered them. 425 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 3: That's the simplest understanding of what blood money is. It 426 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,479 Speaker 3: means this, I'm rich and I can get away with anything. 427 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 3: That's what it means. It means, Okay, I murders your husband. Okay, Well, 428 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 3: I'm not going to face any judgment, any judgment over that. 429 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,400 Speaker 3: What I'll do is I'll just pay money and I'll 430 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 3: pay for that and i won't have to face judgment. 431 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 3: That's called blood money, and that's a big deal. And 432 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 3: in Judaism and in the Old Testament of your Bible, 433 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,880 Speaker 3: blood money is forbidden among the Jews. No, no, there's 434 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 3: going to be justice. And it doesn't matter how rich 435 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 3: he is. It doesn't matter even if he's the king. Right, 436 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 3: you don't pay to not face that judgment for the 437 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 3: murder of somebody. 438 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,199 Speaker 4: Okay. That's one of the understandings of it. 439 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 3: The other understanding of it is is this, Okay, I'm 440 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 3: going to I am going to selfishly kill you from 441 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:57,479 Speaker 3: my own selfish gain. I'm going to destroy and steal 442 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 3: from you what you have from my own own selfish gain. Yes, yes, 443 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,119 Speaker 3: it advances me to the next level, but it killed 444 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 3: somebody for me to get there. That money that you 445 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 3: receive is called blood money. Well, brother Judas, after he 446 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,679 Speaker 3: had betrayed Jesus, he knew he was in bad trouble. 447 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:17,919 Speaker 3: So he goes back to the temple. He wants to 448 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,639 Speaker 3: go through a religious ceremony and he wants to be 449 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 3: cleansed of this. And they said, no, we're not taking 450 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 3: your money. And he says, no, no, look, I want 451 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 3: to be cleansed of this. I'm just gonna leave it 452 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 3: on the floor and you have to take it. And 453 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 3: he dropped his money and he went out and then 454 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,640 Speaker 3: he hung himself. The Jews are there and they're looking 455 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 3: at this money and they're like, man, you know, we 456 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 3: can't put this in the treasury, right, like yup, Like 457 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,119 Speaker 3: what do you want to do?
