1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:05,000 Speaker 1: Let us pray. And the Lord turned and looked upon Peter, 2 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,920 Speaker 1: and Peter remembered the word of the Lord how he 3 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,880 Speaker 1: had said unto him before the cock crow, thou shalt 4 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 1: deny me thrice look twenty two sixty one. Lord, when 5 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 1: the pressure of being a follower of Christ becomes too 6 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:27,920 Speaker 1: much for me, strengthen my stance so that I do 7 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 1: not denounce you like Peter did. Fortify my faith so 8 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: that I may stand resolute and sure that being close 9 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,160 Speaker 1: to you and being associated with you is the best 10 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:46,599 Speaker 1: thing that I can do. In the same way Jesus 11 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: stood unafraid to announce his identity, I too will be 12 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: unafraid when I'm asked who I am and what I 13 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 1: have been called to do. I will not shrink, and 14 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: I will not cower under the pressure of the scrutiny. 15 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:06,399 Speaker 1: And in the midst of emotional and verbal beatings, I 16 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 1: will not sway away from what You've called me to be. 17 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 1: For if I do not stand up for myself, then 18 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: who else will stand up for me. May my strength 19 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:23,039 Speaker 1: come from your finished work on the cross, Jesus. May 20 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: my joy come from knowing that You've made a way 21 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: when there was no way. I am declaring right now 22 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: that the prophecy of greatness over my life will materialize 23 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,279 Speaker 1: and flourish because you've taken the weight of my shame 24 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:44,199 Speaker 1: and insecurities to the cross of Calvary. It is there 25 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: that the green light was given for me to live 26 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: and succeed in Jesus name.

Jesus was pursued by armed 32 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,799 Speaker 2: men with swords and torches, Yet the Son of God 33 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 2: was not the victim. He willingly went with them, for 34 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 2: he had a great thing to accomplish. The disciples also 35 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 2: fled in different directions, afraid of what might happen.

In our previous episode, 48 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 3: we heard how Jesus prayed for the Father to release 49 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 3: him from the coming suffering of the cross, but how 50 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 3: in that moment he submitted his will to do the 51 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 3: will of the Father and to die on the cross 52 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 3: for my sins, for your sins, the sins of the world. 53 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 3: We also learned how Judas betrayed him, and how Jesus 54 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 3: voluntarily willingly went with those who seized him, knowing that 55 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 3: in this God's purpose and plan for his life would 56 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 3: be fulfilled. Today we'll hear how Peter denies jesus Us 57 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 3: just as the Lord said he would, and we'll hear 58 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 3: how Jesus is tried for false charges before the High Priest. 59 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 3: Let's listen now to today's reading of the Gospel. 60 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 2: Arrested and Bound in chains, Jesus was taken to the 61 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 2: house Annas, father in law to the high priest Caiaphas. 62 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,239 Speaker 2: While holding him in custody, Jesus was brutalized and beaten. 63 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 2: They put a bag over his head to blind him 64 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 2: and delivered blows to his head and face. Prophecy, who 65 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 2: hit you this time? Son of God? They scoffed as 66 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 2: they hit him again and again. Besides the grunts and 67 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 2: wincing in pain, Jesus remained silent. He was then taken 68 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 2: before Annas, hoping that he would incriminate himself. Annas pointed 69 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 2: to Jesus and demanded he explain himself and his teachings. 70 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,239 Speaker 2: I have spoken openly to the whole world, Jesus said, 71 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 2: I taught in the courtyards and the synagogue ugs where 72 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 2: all Jews come together. Nothing I have done or said 73 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 2: has been in secret. So let me ask you this. 74 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 2: Why do you even ask me these things? Immediately one 75 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 2: of the officers struck Jesus on the face, demanding he 76 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,679 Speaker 2: speak to the high priest with more respect. Jesus, face 77 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 2: beginning to swell from the constant beatings, spoke again, saying, 78 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 2: if what I said is wrong, speak up about it. 79 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 2: But if what I said is right, why do you 80 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,919 Speaker 2: strike me? Then Annas sent him off to Cayphas, with 81 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 2: Peter trailing behind them. In the shadows outside the courts 82 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 2: of the High Priest, there was a fire with people 83 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 2: warming themselves beside it. Peter sat down among them, warming 84 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 2: himself and seeing if he could spot Jesus from a distance. 85 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 2: A small servant girl also sat by the fire. She 86 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 2: eyed him closely. You were with Jesus, weren't you, Peter 87 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 2: shrugged it off, saying, of course not. I don't know him. 88 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 2: A little later, some one else saw him and said, 89 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 2: you are one of his disciples, but Peter said I 90 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 2: am no such thing. Moments passed, and Peter, feeling exposed, 91 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 2: heard another person say, certainly this man also was with him, 92 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 2: for he too is Galilean. But Peter said, I do 93 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 2: not know what you are talking about. Peter cursed out 94 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 2: of fear and frustration, and immediately, while he was still 95 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 2: mumbling curses under his breath, the rooster crowed from a distance. 96 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 2: Jesus turned his head, his face red and stained with blood. 97 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 2: He locked eyes with Peter and looked straight into his soul. 98 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 2: In that moment, Peter remembered the saying of the Lord, 99 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 2: how he had said to him before the rooster crows 100 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 2: to day, you will deny me three times, and he 101 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 2: went out and wept bitterly in shame. Jesus was placed 102 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 2: in front of the Sanhedrin, a court of religious and 103 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:09,279 Speaker 2: political officials. Jesus remained quiet, observing the anger in his 104 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 2: accuser's eyes. If you are the Christ, tell us, they said. 105 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 2: Jesus answered, plainly, if I tell you, you would not believe. 106 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 2: If I asked you whether you believed, you would not 107 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 2: even give me an answer. But I will say this, 108 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 2: from now on, the son of Man shall be seated 109 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 2: at the right hand of God in power and glory. 110 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 2: The council rose out of their seats, feeling as if 111 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 2: they had trapped him into confession. They asked, so you 112 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 2: are the son of God, then you have said it. 113 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 2: Jesus replied, you see, they replied with applauding, what more 114 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 2: testimony do we need? We have heard it from his 115 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 2: own lips. Who will deny it. Caiaphas, the high priest, 116 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 2: then ripped his robes in passion. They believed to have 117 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 2: caught Jesus red handed of blasphemy, claiming to be God, 118 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 2: yet they did not truly understand they were the ones 119 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 2: acting as their own gods. As Adam and Eve in 120 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 2: the garden, these priests rejected the gods standing directly in 121 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 2: front of them. The court agreed with the High Priest 122 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 2: and condemned Jesus to death. The high priests and elders 123 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 2: had decided early in the morning how they wanted to 124 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 2: kill Jesus, so they carried him to Pilots to make 125 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 2: his death officially sanctioned by the Roman government. Miles away, 126 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 2: Judas caught word of jesus sentence. Judas's betrayal began to 127 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 2: truly sink in, and the conviction of his heart grew 128 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 2: more and more unbearable. He ran back to the High 129 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 2: Priest and the council, throwing the thirty pieces of silver 130 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,439 Speaker 2: back at them, for he thought that returning the money 131 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 2: he earned by betraying Jesus would wash him clean. Only 132 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 2: one thing would truly wash him clean, and Jesus was 133 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 2: about to endure it. Judas was not the first to 134 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 2: choose his own greed over the worship of his king, 135 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 2: Yet the guilt of putting the son of God to 136 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 2: death was far too much for him to bear. The 137 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 2: darkness that had compelled him to betray Jesus now caused 138 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 2: him to betray himself. In the middle of the wilderness, 139 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,679 Speaker 2: above a canyon, Judas tied a noose to a tree, 140 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 2: put it around his neck, and jumped. Immediately, Judas's head 141 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 2: and entrails laced the canyon floor. He shed his own 142 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 2: blood that day, Yet his own blood would not atone 143 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 2: for his sins. No man's blood can right the wrongs 144 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 2: of evil. Yet the blood of Christ would. 145 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 3: We begin today scripture With Jesus in chains. The anger 146 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 3: of those who oppose him is spilling out in the 147 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 3: most disgusting of ways, as he is bound and beaten 148 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 3: for no reason. He is yet to be tried for 149 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 3: his so called crimes, let alone found guilty, But his 150 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 3: body is already being broken by those who wanted him gone. 151 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,439 Speaker 3: Their hatred for Jesus is palpable. We can feel it 152 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 3: as they mock him, covering his face and striking him, 153 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 3: then telling him to prophesy to reveal who hit him. 154 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:24,559 Speaker 3: It was brutal, It was unnecessary, It was so ungodly, 155 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 3: it was cruel. Jesus maintained his composure, however, asking them 156 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 3: to tell him what he had said or done that 157 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 3: was wrong, And of course he knew that he had 158 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 3: done nothing wrong. Jesus is without sin, But at that 159 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,679 Speaker 3: point it didn't matter to these who hated him. They 160 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 3: weren't interested in listening to him or bringing about any 161 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:50,559 Speaker 3: substantive accusation. He was then sent away to Caiphas, the 162 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:55,079 Speaker 3: high Priest, and Peter followed closely behind. The other disciples 163 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 3: had scattered, they'd run away, but Peter stayed fairly close by. 164 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,719 Speaker 3: Perhaps he would stick with Jesus after all, But then 165 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,079 Speaker 3: we heard as he warmed himself by a fire, those 166 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 3: near him asked him if he wasn't one of the 167 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 3: men of Jesus. Peter denied it, which was his first denial. 168 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 3: Later on someone else asked, and Peter again vehemently denied 169 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 3: it that he was a follower of Jesus. Two down, 170 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 3: one to go, But those near him weren't convinced, and 171 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 3: soon someone else insisted that he was one of the 172 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 3: followers of Jesus. Peter, then, fearing for his safety in life, 173 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 3: protested loudly, even cursing, I do not know him, I 174 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,719 Speaker 3: swear I don't he shouted in frustration, and just then 175 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 3: the rooster crowed. Peter's head hung in shame and wept. Jesus, 176 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 3: of course, was right all along. Peter was no better 177 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 3: than the rest of them. He denied the Lord not once, 178 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:55,439 Speaker 3: not twice, but three times. We then find Jesus before 179 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 3: the Sanhedron, the council of religious leaders and political officials. 180 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 3: They were questioning Jesus, but not to find the truth. 181 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 3: They were just looking for an excuse to kill him. 182 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,959 Speaker 3: So they ask if Jesus claimed to be the Messiah, 183 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 3: In other words, was he the one that God had promised? 184 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 3: Was he truly who he claimed to be? Jesus responded 185 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 3: that even if he told them the truth, they would 186 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 3: not believe. Some people, even when confronted with real truth, 187 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 3: will refuse to believe it. God will not force you 188 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 3: or anyone else to believe, but he invites you to believe, 189 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 3: and you can believe in trust in Christ. Here's what 190 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 3: Jesus said in Luke twenty two sixty nine. But from 191 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 3: now on the Son of Man shall be seated at 192 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 3: the right hand of the power of God. Jesus was 193 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 3: making a clear statement, Here is the truth, and nothing 194 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 3: but the truth. He is the Savior, the son of God. 195 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 3: He is God Almighty, who is seated on the throne 196 00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 3: of the universe. This is the truth, the plain truth, 197 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 3: and the facts. But rather than believe the facts and 198 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 3: embrace the truth, the council saw this as blasphemy and decided, 199 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 3: this is all the proof we need. Caiaphas, the Jewish 200 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 3: high priest, condemned Jesus to death, then send him away 201 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 3: to Pilot to have the Roman government confirmed the sentence 202 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 3: and carry out the execution. Jesus was condemned to death 203 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 3: not only by the Jews the religious people, but the 204 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 3: Gentiles as well. No one could claim innocence in the 205 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 3: shedding of the righteous blood of Jesus. And in the 206 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 3: same way, that same blood that would be shed on 207 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 3: a shameful Roman cross would bring salvation to the whole world, 208 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 3: to the Jews as well as the Gentiles, all who 209 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 3: would believe in him. We then heard how Judas, upon 210 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 3: hearing of jesus condemnation, was filled with remorse and went 211 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 3: out and hung himself. When Judas was faced with his 212 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 3: own sin, the one whom Jesus called the son of 213 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 3: tradition went out and took his own life, and he 214 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 3: is in hell today because of what he did, because 215 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 3: he rejected Jesus and even betrayed him. Peter, on the 216 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 3: other hand, wept bitterly. He was so ashamed that he 217 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 3: had sinned against the Lord and denied him and denied 218 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 3: him again and again. But Peter was truly a Jesus man, 219 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 3: and he would soon be restored to a relationship with 220 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 3: the Lord, and he would be a part of changing 221 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 3: the world.
