  Speaker 2: holy scripture will help you softly fall asleep in the
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: caring arms of God, who loves you and watches over
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: you as you rest. As you begin, shift your mind
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: slowly away from today's tasks and worries. Soak instead in
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: God's presence and begin to get comfortable. Close your eyes
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: and relax. Breathe in God's peace and breathe out your troubles.
• 0:47

  Speaker 2: the better. I give you permission now to fall asleep
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: and dream sweet dreams. God is present too even while
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: you dream. Listen to me. Pray for you now as
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: you begin to sleep. Dear God, for this cherished child
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: of yours. Fill their heart and mind fresh with your
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: presence and peace. Invite them to you and give them
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: the rest for their souls. Let their sleep be easy
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: as you lift their burdens and sleep. And now may
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: your Holy Spirit guide their dreams and renew their hearts
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: as they rest in You in Jesus name. Amen, Now
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: drift off to the land of dreams. As the story begins.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Imagine standing in the streets of Jerusalem two thousand years ago.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: The soft, muted conversations of people are humming around you.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Shepherds are leading herds of goats and sheep back and forth.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Their hoofs scuffle on stone floors. In the market, bakers
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: are selling stacks of thin crisp on leaven bread. The
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: smell feels warm and inviting. People are talking, shopping and
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: carrying baskets of groceries, meat, matza, and herbs. They've come
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: from across the country to get ready for the seven
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: day Passover celebration. It's the biggest feast of the year,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: an annual celebration that answers the question, why is this
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: night different from all other nights? Why is this day
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: different than any other typical day? But this year's celebration
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: seems even more different somehow, more tints. You can feel
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: you are living in troubled times. In the Bible, knew
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: about troubled times, he knew pain, he knew how it
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: felt to be judged unfairly by the world. He had
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: watched Jesus get judged unfairly by priests and crowds and
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: the Roman courts. Peter was arrested, chained, and thrown in
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: prison unfairly, but in the end he saw God's powerful
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: rescue In surprising ways. God's rescue turned these bad situations
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: into great displays of his grace. So, whether your life
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: seems fair or not, your Father in heaven and his
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: angels are working for your good. But this evening, as
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Hebrew families begin to gather to celebrate Passover, they can
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: sense trouble in the air. Settled in now, as the
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: story unfolds through the eyes of Peter, King Herod isn't
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: sparing you or the other followers of Jesus. He has
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: arrested innocent Christians. He had James, the brother of John,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: put to death by the sword. When he saw that
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: this pleased many Jews, Herod sent soldiers to arrest you
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: unfairly during the Passover and put you in prison. Jesus
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: was also arrested unfairly at the Passover. Right before his arrest,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: you and the other disciples were praying for Jesus. You
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: fell asleep in the garden and an Angel of the
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Lord appeared to Jesus to strengthen him. So where are
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: the angels of the Lord now that King Herod has
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: his eyes set on you. You need their help to
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: strengthen you now too, see them camped around Jerusalem waiting
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: for God's word to deliver you. Rest for a moment
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: and breathe in that same spirit of trust from God.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Breathe out and release your worries. Breathe in and let
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit fill you with faith. Just rest now
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: in God's arms. A group of Roman soldiers arrives, carrying
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: shields and swords. They arrest you and lead you outside
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: of the city gates down to the prison. There are
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: so many guards, sixteen in total, that most of them
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: cannot fit inside the cramped cell with you. It's cramped
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: and hot and stifling. A large group stands guard at
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: the prison gate, talking and eating. You have not eaten.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: The stone floor is hard and lumpy and cold. Night
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: passes and day comes with no word on your fate.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Your stomach growls and your back is stiff. The room
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: smells of sweat. A guard posts on each side of you.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Steel chains are clamped around each of your wrists, cutting
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: into your aching arms. How can you lay down comfortably
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: like this? You seek peace in the knowledge that God
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: has been faithful to you in the past. Night comes
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: again you will be placed on trial tomorrow. You've been
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: on trial before that time. You were with John teaching
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: that the dead would not come back to life. Through Jesus,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: you healed a lame man, and then the temple guards
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: arrested you. The head priests made you and John stand
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: in front of them, and they asked, by what power
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: or in whose name did you do these things? The
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Holy Spirit had filled you, and you answered so strongly
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: that they were amazed. You had no special training in
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: scripture from the priests, but you knew truth because you
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: were taught by Jesus. Rest for another moment and think
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: about how amazing it feels to know truth because you
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: were taught by Jesus. You are deep asleep now. The
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: heavy rhythmic breathing of the guards fills the cell and
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: hallway outside. Suddenly your face feels the warmth of light.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: A beautiful glow shines down across your cheeks, filling your cell.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: It almost feels like a dream, a vision. Then you
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: feel a hand bump into you, you open your eyes,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: and a bright figure stands before you get up. The
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: heavenly figure says quickly. The heavy chains suddenly snap open
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: and fall off your wrists. They clang loudly onto the stone.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: You sit up and rub your aching hands together, taking
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: a long, deep breath. Your arms and body are light
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: and free. But who is this guiding you? It must
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: be an angel, the angel speaks once more, Get dressed
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: and put on your sandals. It feels like you're dreaming,
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: but you do what the angel orders. In the glow
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: of light pouring out from the angel, you find your
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: shirt and slip it over your head. You slip your
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: sandals on to your feet. Now put on your coat
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: and follow me. The angel says, oh, yeah, your coat.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: You slide your arms into your coat sleeves. You're fully
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: dressed again, warm and safe. You've gotten back everything they
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: took when they arrested you. The angel then steps out
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: of the cell, and you follow it past the sleeping
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: guards without saying a word. You pass the first guard post,
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: then the second. The light shines across the bearded faces
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: of the guards, but not a single one of them
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: wake up. Why don't they wake up? Can they not
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: see the light outside. You begin to hike up the
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: road behind the bright figure and see the walls of
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: the city ahead. A large iron gate bars the road,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: but as you approach the gate, it creaks and slowly
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: swings open all by itself. You enter the city and
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: walk down the street. You're alone. Where is the angel gone?
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: You breathe in the fresh night air, and your mind clears.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: At last, you stand free in the city streets of Jerusalem,
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: brought to safety by an angel of the Lord. You
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: didn't even get to say thank you. You take another
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: look ahead for the angel, and then back behind you
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: down toward the prison. An awesome, wild joy swells in
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: your heart. Today the Passover celebration will finish. You remember
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: the question why is this night different from all other knights?
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: You realize that the Lord has passed over you and
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: saved you from all of your sins. It's really true,
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: you say, The Lord has sent his angel and saved
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: me from Herod and from what the Jewish leaders had
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: planned to do to me. The angels of the Lord
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: really do camp around those who fear him, and he
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: delivers them. Now. May God surround and protect you with
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: his angels. May you rest safe from judgment, protected from harm.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Allow God's presence to free you. Now breathe in God's
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: peace and breathe out your troubles. And now, with your
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: eyes still close saw, just rest and dream as the
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: word of God has prayed softly over you in this
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: continuing time of peaceful relaxation. Just breathe slowly and deeply,
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: as every few moments you hear God's word being offered
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: to you. Now, just breathe and imagine and dream hear
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: his whisper tonight, come to me. You are safe here,
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: no condemnation, only my grace. Come to me now tonight.
