  reading.
• 0:58
  We're
• 0:58
  reading
• 0:58
  today
• 0:59
  from
• 1:00
  Matthew
• 1:01
  27,
• 1:02
  11:54
• 1:03
  from
• 1:03
  the
• 1:03
  Message
• 1:04
  Pilate
• 1:05
  Jesus
• 1:06
  was
• 1:06
  placed
• 1:06
  before
• 1:07
  the
• 1:07
  governor,
• 1:07
  who
• 1:08
  questioned
• 1:08
  him,
• 1:08
  Are
• 1:08
  you
• 1:08
  the
• 1:09
  King
• 1:09
  of
• 1:09
  the
• 1:09
  Jews?
• 1:10
  Jesus
• 1:10
  said,
• 1:11
  if
• 1:11
  you
• 1:11
  say
• 1:11
  so.
• 1:12
  When
• 1:12
  the
• 1:13
  accusations
• 1:13
  rained
• 1:13
  down
• 1:14
  hot
• 1:14
  and
• 1:14
  heavy
• 1:15
  from
• 1:15
  the
• 1:15
  high
• 1:15
  priest
• 1:16
  and
• 1:16
  religious
• 1:17
  leaders,
• 1:17
  he
• 1:17
  said
• 1:17
  nothing.
• 1:19
  Pilate
• 1:19
  asked
• 1:19
  him,
• 1:19
  do
• 1:20
  you
• 1:20
  hear
• 1:20
  that
• 1:20
  long
• 1:21
  list
• 1:21
  of
• 1:21
  accusations?
• 1:23
  Aren't
• 1:23
  you
• 1:23
  going
• 1:23
  to
• 1:24
  say
• 1:24
  something?
• 1:25
  Jesus
• 1:26
  kept
• 1:26
  silence.
• 1:27
  Not
• 1:27
  a
• 1:28
  word
• 1:28
  from
• 1:28
  his
• 1:28
  mouth.
• 1:29
  The
• 1:29
  governor
• 1:30
  was
• 1:30
  impressed,
• 1:31
  really
• 1:31
  impressed.
• 1:33
  It
• 1:33
  was
• 1:33
  an
• 1:33
  old
• 1:33
  custom
• 1:34
  during
• 1:34
  the
• 1:34
  feast
• 1:34
  for
• 1:34
  the
• 1:35
  governor
• 1:35
  to
• 1:35
  pardon
• 1:36
  a
• 1:36
  single
• 1:36
  prisoner
• 1:37
  named
• 1:38
  by
• 1:38
  the
• 1:38
  crowd.
• 1:39
  At
• 1:40
  the
• 1:40
  time
• 1:40
  they
• 1:40
  had
• 1:41
  the
• 1:41
  infamous
• 1:42
  Jesus
• 1:42
  Barabbas
• 1:43
  in
• 1:43
  prison
• 1:44
  with
• 1:45
  the
• 1:45
  crowd
• 1:45
  before
• 1:45
  him.
• 1:46
  Pilate
• 1:46
  said,
• 1:47
  which
• 1:47
  prisoner
• 1:47
  do
• 1:48
  you
• 1:48
  want
• 1:48
  me
• 1:48
  to
• 1:48
  pardon,
• 1:49
  Jesus
• 1:49
  Barabbas
• 1:50
  or
• 1:50
  Jesus
• 1:51
  the
• 1:51
  so
• 1:51
  called
• 1:52
  Christ?
• 1:53
  And
• 1:54
  he
• 1:54
  knew
• 1:54
  that
• 1:54
  it
• 1:54
  was
• 1:55
  through
• 1:55
  sheer
• 1:55
  spite
• 1:55
  that
• 1:56
  they
• 1:56
  had
• 1:56
  turned
• 1:56
  Jesus
• 1:58
  called
• 1:58
  Christ
• 1:58
  over
• 1:59
  to
• 1:59
  him.
• 2:00
  And
• 2:01
  while
• 2:01
  court
• 2:01
  was
• 2:01
  still
• 2:01
  in
• 2:02
  session,
• 2:02
  Pilate's
• 2:03
  wife
• 2:04
  sent
• 2:04
  him
• 2:04
  a
• 2:04
  message,
• 2:05
  don't
• 2:05
  get
• 2:05
  mixed
• 2:06
  up
• 2:06
  in
• 2:06
  judging
• 2:07
  this
• 2:07
  noble
• 2:07
  man.
• 2:08
  I've
• 2:08
  just
• 2:09
  been
• 2:09
  through
• 2:09
  a
• 2:09
  long
• 2:09
  and
• 2:10
  troubled
• 2:10
  night
• 2:10
  because
• 2:11
  of
• 2:11
  a
• 2:11
  dream
• 2:11
  about
• 2:11
  him.
• 2:13
  Meanwhile,
• 2:13
  the
• 2:13
  high
• 2:13
  priests
• 2:14
  and
• 2:14
  religious
• 2:14
  leaders
• 2:14
  had
• 2:15
  talked
• 2:15
  to
• 2:15
  the
• 2:15
  crowd
• 2:16
  into
• 2:16
  asking
• 2:17
  for
• 2:17
  the
• 2:17
  pardon
• 2:17
  of
• 2:17
  Barabbas
• 2:19
  and
• 2:19
  the
• 2:19
  execution
• 2:20
  of
• 2:20
  Jesus.
• 2:21
  The
• 2:22
  governor
• 2:22
  asked,
• 2:23
  which
• 2:23
  one
• 2:23
  of
• 2:24
  the
• 2:24
  two
• 2:24
  do
• 2:24
  you
• 2:24
  want
• 2:24
  me
• 2:24
  to
• 2:24
  pardon?
• 2:25
  And
• 2:25
  they
• 2:25
  said,
• 2:26
  barabbas.
• 2:28
  Then
• 2:28
  what
• 2:28
  do
• 2:29
  you
• 2:29
  want
• 2:29
  me
• 2:29
  to
• 2:29
  do
• 2:29
  with
• 2:29
  Jesus,
• 2:30
  the
• 2:30
  so
• 2:30
  called
• 2:30
  Christ?
• 2:31
  And
• 2:31
  they
• 2:31
  all
• 2:31
  shouted,
• 2:32
  nail
• 2:32
  him
• 2:33
  to
• 2:33
  the
• 2:33
  cross.
• 2:35
  And
• 2:35
  he
• 2:35
  objected,
• 2:36
  but
• 2:36
  for
• 2:37
  what
• 2:37
  crime?
• 2:38
  But
• 2:38
  they
• 2:38
  yelled
• 2:38
  all
• 2:38
  the
• 2:39
  louder,
• 2:39
  nail.
• 2:39
  Him
• 2:39
  to
• 2:39
  the
• 2:40
  cross.
• 2:43
  When
• 2:43
  Pilate
• 2:43
  saw
• 2:43
  that
• 2:44
  he
• 2:44
  was
• 2:44
  getting
• 2:44
  nowhere
• 2:45
  and
• 2:45
  that
• 2:45
  a
• 2:46
  riot
• 2:46
  was
• 2:46
  imminent,
• 2:47
  he
• 2:47
  took
• 2:48
  a
• 2:48
  basin
• 2:48
  of
• 2:48
  water
• 2:49
  and
• 2:49
  washed
• 2:49
  his
• 2:49
  hand
• 2:50
  in
• 2:50
  full
• 2:50
  sight
• 2:51
  of
• 2:51
  the
• 2:51
  crowd,
• 2:52
  saying,
• 2:53
  I'm
• 2:53
  washing
• 2:53
  my
• 2:54
  hands
• 2:54
  of
• 2:54
  Responsibility
• 2:56
  for
• 2:56
  this
• 2:56
  man's
• 2:56
  death.
• 2:57
  And
• 2:57
  from
• 2:57
  now
• 2:57
  on,
• 2:58
  he's
• 2:58
  on
• 2:58
  your
• 2:59
  hands.
• 3:00
  You're
• 3:00
  the
• 3:01
  judge
• 3:01
  and
• 3:01
  jury.
• 3:02
  And
• 3:02
  the
• 3:02
  crowd
• 3:02
  answered,
• 3:03
  we'll
• 3:03
  take
• 3:03
  the
• 3:04
  blame,
• 3:04
  we
• 3:05
  and
• 3:05
  our
• 3:05
  children
• 3:05
  after
• 3:06
  us.
• 3:08
  Then
• 3:08
  he
• 3:08
  pardoned
• 3:09
  Barabbas,
• 3:10
  but
• 3:11
  he
• 3:11
  had
• 3:11
  Jesus
• 3:12
  whipped
• 3:12
  and
• 3:12
  then
• 3:12
  handed
• 3:12
  over
• 3:13
  for
• 3:13
  crucifixion.
• 3:15
  The
• 3:15
  crucifixion.
• 3:17
  The
• 3:18
  soldiers
• 3:18
  assigned
• 3:19
  to
• 3:19
  the
• 3:19
  governor
• 3:19
  took
• 3:19
  Jesus
• 3:20
  into
• 3:20
  the
• 3:20
  governor's
• 3:21
  palace
• 3:21
  and
• 3:22
  got
• 3:22
  the
• 3:22
  entire
• 3:22
  brigade
• 3:23
  together
• 3:23
  for
• 3:23
  some
• 3:23
  fun.
• 3:23
  And
• 3:24
  they
• 3:24
  stripped
• 3:24
  him
• 3:24
  and
• 3:24
  dressed
• 3:25
  him
• 3:25
  in
• 3:25
  a
• 3:25
  red
• 3:25
  robe.
• 3:26
  They
• 3:26
  plaited
• 3:27
  a
• 3:27
  crown
• 3:27
  from
• 3:28
  branches
• 3:28
  of
• 3:28
  a
• 3:28
  thorn
• 3:29
  bush
• 3:29
  and
• 3:29
  set
• 3:29
  it
• 3:30
  on
• 3:30
  his
• 3:30
  head.
• 3:31
  They
• 3:31
  put
• 3:31
  a
• 3:31
  stick
• 3:31
  in
• 3:32
  his
• 3:32
  right
• 3:32
  hand
• 3:32
  for
• 3:32
  a
• 3:32
  scepter.
• 3:33
  And
• 3:33
  they
• 3:33
  knelt
• 3:33
  before
• 3:34
  him
• 3:34
  in
• 3:34
  mocking
• 3:34
  reverence.
• 3:35
  Bravo,
• 3:36
  King
• 3:37
  of
• 3:37
  the
• 3:37
  Jews,
• 3:37
  they
• 3:37
  said.
• 3:38
  Bravo.
• 3:40
  Then
• 3:40
  they
• 3:40
  spit
• 3:40
  on
• 3:41
  him
• 3:41
  and
• 3:41
  they
• 3:41
  hit
• 3:41
  him
• 3:41
  in
• 3:41
  the
• 3:42
  head
• 3:42
  with
• 3:42
  a
• 3:42
  stick.
• 3:43
  When
• 3:44
  they
• 3:44
  had
• 3:44
  their
• 3:44
  fun,
• 3:44
  they
• 3:45
  took
• 3:45
  off
• 3:45
  the
• 3:45
  robe
• 3:45
  and
• 3:47
  put
• 3:47
  his
• 3:47
  own
• 3:47
  clothes
• 3:47
  back
• 3:48
  on
• 3:48
  him.
• 3:48
  And
• 3:48
  then
• 3:48
  they
• 3:48
  proceeded
• 3:49
  out
• 3:50
  to
• 3:50
  the
• 3:50
  crucifixion.
• 3:52
  On
• 3:52
  the
• 3:53
  way
• 3:53
  they
• 3:53
  came
• 3:53
  on
• 3:53
  a
• 3:53
  man
• 3:53
  from
• 3:54
  Cyrene
• 3:54
  named
• 3:55
  Simon
• 3:55
  and
• 3:56
  made
• 3:56
  him
• 3:56
  carry
• 3:57
  Jesus's
• 3:57
  cross.
• 3:58
  And
• 3:59
  arriving
• 3:59
  at
• 3:59
  Golgotha
• 4:00
  the
• 4:01
  the
• 4:01
  place
• 4:01
  they
• 4:01
  call
• 4:02
  Skull
• 4:03
  Hill,
• 4:04
  they
• 4:04
  offered
• 4:05
  him
• 4:05
  a
• 4:05
  mild
• 4:06
  painkiller,
• 4:06
  a
• 4:07
  mixture
• 4:07
  of
• 4:07
  wine
• 4:07
  and
• 4:07
  myrrh.
• 4:08
  When
• 4:09
  he
• 4:09
  tasted,
• 4:09
  he
• 4:09
  wouldn't
• 4:10
  drink
• 4:10
  it.
• 4:11
  After
• 4:12
  they
• 4:12
  had
• 4:12
  finished
• 4:12
  nailing
• 4:13
  him
• 4:13
  to
• 4:13
  the
• 4:13
  cross
• 4:14
  and
• 4:14
  were
• 4:14
  waiting
• 4:15
  for
• 4:15
  him
• 4:15
  to
• 4:15
  die,
• 4:16
  they
• 4:16
  killed
• 4:17
  time
• 4:17
  by
• 4:17
  throwing
• 4:17
  dice
• 4:18
  for
• 4:18
  his
• 4:18
  clothes
• 4:20
  above
• 4:20
  his
• 4:21
  head.
• 4:21
  They
• 4:21
  had
• 4:21
  posted
• 4:21
  the
• 4:21
  criminal
• 4:22
  charge
• 4:22
  against
• 4:22
  him.
• 4:23
  This
• 4:24
  is
• 4:24
  Jesus,
• 4:24
  the
• 4:24
  King
• 4:25
  of
• 4:25
  the
• 4:25
  Jews.
• 4:26
  Along
• 4:26
  with
• 4:27
  him,
• 4:27
  they
• 4:27
  also
• 4:27
  crucified
• 4:28
  two
• 4:28
  criminals,
• 4:28
  one
• 4:29
  to
• 4:29
  his
• 4:29
  right
• 4:29
  and
• 4:29
  the
• 4:29
  other
• 4:30
  to
• 4:30
  his
• 4:30
  left.
• 4:31
  And
• 4:31
  people
• 4:32
  passing
• 4:32
  along
• 4:32
  the
• 4:33
  road
• 4:33
  jeered,
• 4:33
  shaking
• 4:34
  their
• 4:34
  heads
• 4:34
  in
• 4:35
  mock
• 4:35
  lament.
• 4:35
  You
• 4:36
  bragged
• 4:36
  that
• 4:36
  you
• 4:36
  could
• 4:37
  tear
• 4:37
  down
• 4:37
  the
• 4:37
  temple
• 4:38
  and
• 4:38
  rebuild
• 4:38
  it
• 4:39
  in
• 4:39
  three
• 4:39
  days.
• 4:39
  So
• 4:40
  show
• 4:40
  us
• 4:40
  your
• 4:40
  stuff.
• 4:41
  Save
• 4:41
  yourself.
• 4:42
  If
• 4:42
  you're
• 4:42
  really
• 4:43
  God's
• 4:43
  son,
• 4:43
  come
• 4:43
  down
• 4:44
  for
• 4:44
  that
• 4:44
  cross.
• 4:46
  The
• 4:46
  high
• 4:47
  priest,
• 4:47
  along
• 4:47
  with
• 4:47
  the
• 4:47
  religious
• 4:48
  scholars
• 4:48
  and
• 4:48
  leaders
• 4:49
  right
• 4:50
  there,
• 4:50
  mixing
• 4:50
  it
• 4:50
  up
• 4:50
  with
• 4:51
  the
• 4:51
  rest
• 4:51
  of
• 4:51
  them,
• 4:51
  having
• 4:51
  a
• 4:52
  great
• 4:52
  time,
• 4:52
  poking
• 4:53
  fun
• 4:53
  at
• 4:53
  him.
• 4:54
  He
• 4:54
  saved
• 4:54
  others.
• 4:54
  He
• 4:55
  can't
• 4:55
  save
• 4:55
  himself.
• 4:56
  King
• 4:56
  of
• 4:56
  Israel,
• 4:57
  is
• 4:57
  he?
• 4:58
  Then
• 4:58
  let
• 4:58
  him
• 4:58
  get
• 4:59
  down
• 4:59
  for
• 4:59
  that
• 4:59
  cross.
• 5:00
  We'll
• 5:01
  all
• 5:01
  become
• 5:01
  believers
• 5:01
  then.
• 5:02
  He
• 5:03
  was
• 5:03
  so
• 5:03
  sure
• 5:03
  of
• 5:03
  God.
• 5:04
  Well,
• 5:04
  let
• 5:04
  him
• 5:04
  rescue
• 5:05
  his
• 5:05
  son
• 5:05
  now.
• 5:06
  If
• 5:06
  he
• 5:07
  wants
• 5:07
  him.
• 5:07
  He
• 5:07
  did
• 5:08
  claim
• 5:08
  to
• 5:08
  be
• 5:08
  God's
• 5:09
  son,
• 5:09
  didn't
• 5:09
  he?
• 5:12
  Even
• 5:12
  the
• 5:12
  two
• 5:12
  criminals
• 5:13
  crucified
• 5:13
  next
• 5:13
  to
• 5:13
  him
• 5:13
  joined
• 5:14
  in
• 5:14
  the
• 5:14
  mockery.
• 5:16
  From
• 5:16
  noon
• 5:16
  to
• 5:17
  3,
• 5:17
  the
• 5:17
  whole
• 5:17
  earth
• 5:18
  was
• 5:18
  dark.
• 5:19
  Around
• 5:19
  mid
• 5:20
  afternoon,
• 5:20
  Jesus
• 5:21
  groaned
• 5:21
  out
• 5:22
  of
• 5:22
  the
• 5:22
  depths,
• 5:22
  crying,
• 5:23
  eli
• 5:24
  Eli
• 5:25
  lama
• 5:26
  saperakatini,
• 5:28
  which
• 5:29
  means
• 5:30
  my
• 5:30
  God,
• 5:31
  my
• 5:31
  God,
• 5:32
  why
• 5:33
  have
• 5:33
  you
• 5:33
  Abandoned
• 5:34
  me.
• 5:35
  Some
• 5:35
  bystanders
• 5:36
  are
• 5:36
  heard
• 5:36
  and
• 5:37
  heard
• 5:37
  him,
• 5:37
  said,
• 5:38
  he's
• 5:38
  calling
• 5:38
  on
• 5:38
  Elijah.
• 5:40
  One
• 5:40
  of
• 5:40
  them
• 5:40
  ran
• 5:40
  and
• 5:40
  got
• 5:40
  a
• 5:41
  sponge
• 5:41
  soaked
• 5:41
  with
• 5:41
  sour
• 5:42
  wine
• 5:42
  and
• 5:43
  lifted
• 5:43
  on
• 5:43
  a
• 5:43
  stick
• 5:43
  so
• 5:44
  he
• 5:44
  could
• 5:44
  drink.
• 5:44
  And
• 5:44
  the
• 5:44
  others
• 5:44
  joked,
• 5:45
  don't
• 5:45
  be
• 5:46
  in
• 5:46
  such
• 5:46
  a
• 5:46
  hurry.
• 5:47
  Let's
• 5:47
  see
• 5:47
  if
• 5:47
  Elijah
• 5:48
  comes
• 5:48
  and
• 5:48
  saves
• 5:48
  him.
• 5:50
  But
• 5:51
  Jesus,
• 5:52
  again
• 5:53
  crying
• 5:54
  out
• 5:55
  loudly,
• 5:56
  breathed
• 5:57
  his
• 5:57
  last.
• 5:59
  At
• 5:59
  that
• 5:59
  moment,
• 6:00
  the
• 6:00
  temple
• 6:00
  curtain
• 6:01
  was
• 6:01
  ripped
• 6:01
  in
• 6:01
  two,
• 6:02
  top
• 6:02
  to
• 6:03
  bottom.
• 6:03
  There
• 6:04
  was
• 6:04
  an
• 6:04
  earthquake,
• 6:05
  and
• 6:05
  rocks
• 6:05
  were
• 6:05
  split
• 6:05
  into
• 6:06
  pieces.
• 6:07
  And
• 6:07
  what's
• 6:07
  more,
• 6:07
  tombs
• 6:08
  were
• 6:08
  opened
• 6:08
  up,
• 6:09
  and
• 6:09
  many
• 6:09
  bodies
• 6:10
  of
• 6:10
  believers
• 6:11
  asleep
• 6:11
  in
• 6:11
  their
• 6:11
  graves
• 6:12
  were
• 6:12
  raised.
• 6:14
  After
• 6:14
  Jesus
• 6:14
  resurrection,
• 6:15
  they
• 6:15
  left
• 6:15
  the
• 6:16
  tombs,
• 6:16
  entered
• 6:16
  the
• 6:16
  holy
• 6:16
  city,
• 6:17
  and
• 6:17
  appeared
• 6:17
  to
• 6:17
  many
• 6:19
  the
• 6:19
  captain
• 6:19
  of
• 6:20
  the
• 6:20
  guard.
• 6:20
  Those
• 6:20
  with
• 6:20
  them,
• 6:21
  when
• 6:21
  they
• 6:21
  saw
• 6:21
  the
• 6:21
  earthquake
• 6:22
  and
• 6:22
  everything
• 6:23
  else
• 6:23
  that
• 6:23
  was
• 6:24
  happening,
• 6:24
  were
• 6:25
  scared
• 6:25
  to
• 6:25
  death.
• 6:25
  And
• 6:25
  they
• 6:25
  said,
• 6:27
  this
• 6:27
  has
• 6:28
  to
• 6:28
  be
• 6:29
  the
• 6:29
  Son
• 6:29
  of
• 6:30
  God.
• 6:32
  That
• 6:32
  ends
• 6:32
  the
• 6:32
  powerful
• 6:33
  reading.
• 6:33
  Friends,
• 6:34
  this
• 6:35
  is
• 6:35
  the
• 6:35
  Palm
• 6:35
  Sunday
• 6:36
  reading,
• 6:38
  and
• 6:39
  this
• 6:39
  is
• 6:39
  a
• 6:39
  very
• 6:39
  heavy
• 6:40
  passage
• 6:40
  of
• 6:40
  Scripture.
• 6:41
  This
• 6:41
  is
• 6:42
  the
• 6:42
  Passion
• 6:42
  narrative
• 6:43
  from
• 6:43
  Matthew.
• 6:44
  This
• 6:44
  begins
• 6:45
  the
• 6:45
  Passion
• 6:45
  Week,
• 6:47
  the
• 6:47
  trial,
• 6:47
  the
• 6:47
  crucifixion,
• 6:48
  the
• 6:48
  death
• 6:48
  of
• 6:49
  Jesus.
• 6:51
  So
• 6:51
  two
• 6:51
  points
• 6:51
  to
• 6:51
  ponder
• 6:52
  for
• 6:52
  the
• 6:52
  day.
• 6:53
  First,
• 6:53
  pay
• 6:53
  attention
• 6:54
  to
• 6:54
  Pilate's
• 6:54
  hands.
• 6:55
  He
• 6:56
  washes
• 6:56
  them.
• 6:56
  He
• 6:56
  literally
• 6:57
  performs
• 6:57
  innocence
• 6:58
  while
• 6:58
  handing
• 6:58
  an
• 6:59
  innocent
• 6:59
  man
• 7:00
  over
• 7:00
  to
• 7:00
  be
• 7:00
  killed.
• 7:01
  And
• 7:01
  I
• 7:02
  think
• 7:02
  this
• 7:02
  is
• 7:02
  one
• 7:02
  of
• 7:02
  the
• 7:03
  really
• 7:03
  most
• 7:03
  relevant,
• 7:04
  irrelevant
• 7:05
  images
• 7:05
  and
• 7:06
  all
• 7:06
  the
• 7:06
  scripture
• 7:06
  for
• 7:07
  our
• 7:07
  time.
• 7:08
  See,
• 7:09
  Pilate
• 7:09
  wasn't
• 7:09
  a
• 7:10
  monster
• 7:10
  frothing
• 7:10
  with
• 7:11
  hatred.
• 7:11
  He
• 7:11
  was
• 7:11
  a
• 7:11
  politician
• 7:13
  managing
• 7:13
  a
• 7:13
  situation.
• 7:14
  And
• 7:15
  he
• 7:15
  knew
• 7:15
  Jesus
• 7:15
  was
• 7:16
  innocent.
• 7:16
  That
• 7:16
  text
• 7:17
  makes
• 7:17
  that
• 7:17
  clear.
• 7:18
  But
• 7:18
  the
• 7:18
  crowd
• 7:19
  was
• 7:19
  loud
• 7:19
  and
• 7:19
  the
• 7:19
  pressure
• 7:20
  was
• 7:20
  intense,
• 7:21
  and
• 7:21
  the
• 7:21
  cost
• 7:21
  of
• 7:21
  doing
• 7:22
  the
• 7:22
  right
• 7:22
  thing
• 7:23
  was
• 7:24
  higher
• 7:24
  than
• 7:24
  he
• 7:24
  was
• 7:24
  willing
• 7:25
  to
• 7:25
  pay.
• 7:26
  So
• 7:26
  he
• 7:26
  washed
• 7:26
  his
• 7:27
  hands
• 7:27
  and
• 7:27
  called
• 7:27
  it
• 7:27
  someone
• 7:28
  else's
• 7:28
  problem.
• 7:30
  Progressive
• 7:31
  faith
• 7:31
  names
• 7:32
  this
• 7:32
  for
• 7:32
  what
• 7:32
  it
• 7:32
  is.
• 7:34
  Complicity
• 7:35
  dressed
• 7:35
  up
• 7:35
  as
• 7:35
  neutrality.
• 7:37
  You
• 7:37
  cannot
• 7:38
  wash
• 7:38
  your
• 7:38
  hands
• 7:39
  of
• 7:39
  injustice
• 7:40
  and
• 7:40
  call
• 7:40
  yourself
• 7:40
  clean.
• 7:42
  Every
• 7:42
  time
• 7:43
  I
• 7:43
  see
• 7:43
  a
• 7:43
  system
• 7:43
  crushing
• 7:44
  a
• 7:44
  vulnerable
• 7:45
  person
• 7:46
  and
• 7:46
  we
• 7:46
  say
• 7:46
  something
• 7:47
  like,
• 7:47
  that's
• 7:47
  not
• 7:47
  my
• 7:48
  issue.
• 7:48
  That's
• 7:48
  someone
• 7:48
  else's
• 7:49
  problem.
• 7:50
  We're
• 7:51
  standing
• 7:51
  at
• 7:51
  Pilate's
• 7:51
  basin,
• 7:53
  and
• 7:53
  every
• 7:53
  time
• 7:53
  we
• 7:53
  stay
• 7:54
  silent
• 7:54
  because
• 7:54
  speaking
• 7:55
  up
• 7:55
  is
• 7:56
  costly.
• 7:57
  We're
• 7:57
  reaching
• 7:58
  for
• 7:58
  the
• 7:58
  water.
• 8:00
  After
• 8:00
  34
• 8:01
  years
• 8:01
  of
• 8:01
  marriage,
• 8:01
  I've
• 8:01
  learned
• 8:02
  that
• 8:02
  the
• 8:02
  hardest
• 8:02
  conversations
• 8:03
  aren't
• 8:03
  the
• 8:03
  ones
• 8:04
  where
• 8:04
  you're
• 8:04
  clearly
• 8:05
  wrong.
• 8:05
  They're
• 8:06
  the
• 8:06
  ones
• 8:06
  where
• 8:06
  you
• 8:07
  stay
• 8:07
  quiet,
• 8:10
  which
• 8:10
  would
• 8:11
  be
• 8:11
  so
• 8:11
  much
• 8:11
  easier,
• 8:11
  you
• 8:12
  think,
• 8:12
  but
• 8:13
  your
• 8:13
  conscience
• 8:13
  won't
• 8:13
  let
• 8:13
  you.
• 8:14
  Pilate's
• 8:15
  conscience
• 8:15
  spoke
• 8:16
  to
• 8:16
  him
• 8:16
  literally
• 8:16
  through
• 8:17
  his
• 8:17
  wife's
• 8:17
  dream,
• 8:18
  and
• 8:18
  he
• 8:18
  ignored
• 8:19
  it
• 8:19
  anyway.
• 8:20
  The
• 8:20
  question
• 8:21
  for
• 8:21
  us
• 8:21
  is
• 8:21
  whether
• 8:21
  we'll
• 8:22
  do
• 8:22
  the
• 8:22
  same.
• 8:24
  Second
• 8:25
  point
• 8:25
  to
• 8:25
  ponder.
• 8:26
  Jesus
• 8:27
  says,
• 8:27
  my
• 8:27
  God,
• 8:28
  my
• 8:28
  God,
• 8:28
  why
• 8:28
  have
• 8:28
  you
• 8:29
  abandoned
• 8:29
  me?
• 8:30
  Jesus,
• 8:30
  in
• 8:31
  his
• 8:31
  final
• 8:31
  moments,
• 8:31
  doesn't
• 8:32
  quote
• 8:32
  a
• 8:33
  victory
• 8:33
  hymn.
• 8:34
  He
• 8:35
  doesn't,
• 8:35
  you
• 8:35
  know,
• 8:36
  exalt
• 8:38
  victory.
• 8:39
  He
• 8:39
  quotes
• 8:39
  a
• 8:40
  lament
• 8:40
  from
• 8:40
  Psalm
• 8:41
  22,
• 8:42
  a
• 8:42
  cry
• 8:42
  of
• 8:43
  abandonment.
• 8:44
  And
• 8:44
  the
• 8:44
  fact
• 8:44
  that
• 8:45
  Matthew
• 8:46
  preserves
• 8:47
  this
• 8:47
  in
• 8:47
  Aramaic,
• 8:48
  which
• 8:48
  was
• 8:50
  the
• 8:50
  language
• 8:50
  that
• 8:50
  all
• 8:51
  could
• 8:51
  know,
• 8:52
  the
• 8:52
  mother
• 8:53
  tongue
• 8:53
  of
• 8:53
  anguish,
• 8:53
  as
• 8:54
  it
• 8:54
  were,
• 8:54
  tells
• 8:55
  us
• 8:55
  something
• 8:55
  profound
• 8:56
  about
• 8:56
  what
• 8:56
  kind
• 8:56
  of
• 8:56
  God
• 8:57
  we're
• 8:57
  dealing
• 8:58
  with.
• 8:59
  This
• 8:59
  is
• 8:59
  a
• 8:59
  God
• 8:59
  who
• 9:00
  enters
• 9:00
  fully
• 9:00
  into
• 9:01
  the
• 9:01
  human
• 9:01
  experience
• 9:01
  of
• 9:02
  feeling
• 9:02
  utterly
• 9:03
  forsaken.
• 9:04
  Not
• 9:04
  a
• 9:05
  God
• 9:05
  who
• 9:05
  hovers
• 9:06
  above
• 9:06
  suffering
• 9:07
  and
• 9:07
  explains
• 9:08
  it,
• 9:09
  a
• 9:09
  God
• 9:10
  who
• 9:10
  drowns
• 9:10
  in
• 9:10
  it.
• 9:12
  Every
• 9:12
  week
• 9:13
  on
• 9:13
  my
• 9:13
  cancer
• 9:13
  podcast,
• 9:14
  I
• 9:15
  sit
• 9:15
  with
• 9:15
  people
• 9:15
  who
• 9:15
  are
• 9:15
  kind
• 9:15
  of
• 9:15
  living
• 9:16
  out
• 9:16
  that
• 9:16
  Psalm
• 9:16
  22
• 9:17
  space.
• 9:17
  God,
• 9:17
  where
• 9:17
  are
• 9:18
  you?
• 9:18
  Why
• 9:19
  does
• 9:19
  this
• 9:19
  feel
• 9:19
  so
• 9:20
  empty?
• 9:21
  And
• 9:21
  I
• 9:21
  never
• 9:22
  want
• 9:22
  to
• 9:22
  rush
• 9:22
  past
• 9:22
  that
• 9:23
  cry
• 9:23
  to
• 9:23
  get
• 9:23
  to
• 9:23
  Sunday
• 9:24
  morning,
• 9:25
  because
• 9:25
  you
• 9:25
  can't
• 9:25
  get
• 9:25
  to
• 9:26
  Sunday
• 9:26
  morning
• 9:27
  without
• 9:27
  the
• 9:28
  crucifixion
• 9:28
  on
• 9:28
  Friday,
• 9:30
  because
• 9:30
  the
• 9:30
  cross
• 9:31
  says
• 9:31
  that
• 9:31
  God
• 9:31
  doesn't
• 9:32
  skip
• 9:32
  the
• 9:32
  darkness.
• 9:34
  God
• 9:34
  goes
• 9:34
  all
• 9:34
  the
• 9:35
  way
• 9:35
  through
• 9:35
  it.
• 9:36
  So
• 9:36
  if
• 9:36
  you're
• 9:37
  in
• 9:37
  a
• 9:37
  season
• 9:37
  right
• 9:37
  now
• 9:37
  where
• 9:38
  God
• 9:38
  feels
• 9:38
  absent,
• 9:40
  then
• 9:40
  this
• 9:40
  passage
• 9:41
  says
• 9:41
  that
• 9:41
  you're
• 9:41
  not
• 9:42
  in
• 9:42
  the
• 9:42
  exact.
• 9:43
  That
• 9:43
  you
• 9:43
  are
• 9:43
  in
• 9:43
  the
• 9:43
  exact
• 9:44
  same
• 9:44
  place
• 9:44
  that
• 9:44
  Jesus
• 9:45
  was.
• 9:46
  That's
• 9:46
  not
• 9:46
  a
• 9:47
  failure
• 9:47
  of
• 9:47
  faith.
• 9:48
  That's
• 9:48
  the
• 9:48
  deepest
• 9:49
  kind
• 9:49
  of
• 9:49
  faith
• 9:49
  that
• 9:49
  there
• 9:50
  is
• 9:50
  crying
• 9:51
  out
• 9:53
  even
• 9:53
  while
• 9:53
  the
• 9:53
  sky
• 9:54
  is
• 9:54
  silent.
• 9:55
  And
• 9:55
  then
• 9:55
  the
• 9:56
  curtain
• 9:56
  rips
• 9:56
  top
• 9:57
  to
• 9:57
  bottom,
• 9:57
  not
• 9:57
  from
• 9:57
  human
• 9:58
  hands,
• 9:58
  as
• 9:58
  in
• 9:58
  from
• 9:59
  bottom
• 9:59
  to
• 9:59
  top,
• 10:00
  but
• 10:00
  God
• 10:01
  tearing
• 10:01
  downward.
• 10:02
  So
• 10:02
  that
• 10:02
  means
• 10:03
  every
• 10:03
  barrier
• 10:03
  between
• 10:03
  God
• 10:04
  and
• 10:04
  humanity
• 10:04
  is
• 10:04
  shredded.
• 10:06
  There's
• 10:06
  no
• 10:06
  gatekeeper
• 10:07
  here.
• 10:08
  It's
• 10:08
  not
• 10:09
  the
• 10:09
  religious
• 10:09
  leaders
• 10:09
  who
• 10:10
  recognize
• 10:10
  what
• 10:10
  happened.
• 10:11
  It's
• 10:11
  a
• 10:12
  religious
• 10:12
  centurion,
• 10:13
  the
• 10:13
  ultimate
• 10:14
  outsider,
• 10:15
  who
• 10:15
  looks
• 10:15
  at
• 10:15
  this
• 10:16
  broken,
• 10:16
  crucified
• 10:17
  man
• 10:17
  and
• 10:17
  says,
• 10:18
  this
• 10:18
  has
• 10:18
  to
• 10:19
  be
• 10:19
  the
• 10:19
  son
• 10:19
  of
• 10:19
  God.
• 10:20
  You
• 10:20
  see,
• 10:20
  the
• 10:20
  insiders
• 10:21
  missed
• 10:21
  it.
• 10:22
  The
• 10:22
  outsider
• 10:22
  got
• 10:23
  it.
• 10:23
  And
• 10:25
  that
• 10:25
  pattern
• 10:26
  should
• 10:26
  make
• 10:26
  us
• 10:26
  all
• 10:27
  feel
• 10:28
  comfortable
• 10:28
  in
• 10:28
  our
• 10:29
  faith
• 10:29
  and
• 10:30
  sit
• 10:30
  up
• 10:30
  a
• 10:30
  little
• 10:30
  straighter.
• 10:33
  My
• 10:34
  wife
• 10:34
  and
• 10:34
  I
• 10:34
  often
• 10:35
  take
• 10:35
  hikes
• 10:36
  in
• 10:36
  wooded
• 10:37
  areas.
• 10:37
  I
• 10:38
  remember
• 10:38
  one
• 10:38
  time
• 10:38
  we
• 10:38
  hiked
• 10:39
  in
• 10:39
  the
• 10:39
  Redwood
• 10:39
  forest
• 10:40
  in
• 10:40
  Oregon,
• 10:40
  actually,
• 10:41
  and
• 10:41
  the
• 10:42
  sun
• 10:42
  was
• 10:42
  blocked
• 10:42
  out
• 10:42
  completely.
• 10:43
  It
• 10:43
  was
• 10:43
  getting
• 10:43
  near
• 10:43
  dusk.
• 10:44
  We
• 10:44
  kept
• 10:45
  walking
• 10:45
  and
• 10:45
  trusting
• 10:46
  the
• 10:46
  trail,
• 10:46
  and
• 10:47
  then
• 10:47
  suddenly
• 10:47
  the
• 10:47
  trees
• 10:47
  opened
• 10:48
  up
• 10:48
  and
• 10:48
  the
• 10:48
  light
• 10:48
  hit
• 10:48
  you,
• 10:49
  and
• 10:49
  it
• 10:49
  was
• 10:49
  almost
• 10:50
  disoriented
• 10:50
  because
• 10:51
  it
• 10:51
  went
• 10:51
  from
• 10:51
  almost
• 10:51
  total
• 10:52
  darkness
• 10:53
  to
• 10:53
  total
• 10:54
  light.
• 10:55
  The
• 10:55
  cross
• 10:55
  here
• 10:56
  is
• 10:56
  the
• 10:56
  darkest
• 10:57
  part
• 10:57
  of
• 10:57
  the
• 10:57
  forest.
• 10:57
  And.
• 10:58
  But
• 10:58
  the
• 10:58
  curtain
• 10:59
  tearing,
• 11:00
  that's
• 11:00
  the
• 11:01
  first
• 11:01
  break
• 11:01
  in
• 11:01
  the
• 11:01
  canopy.
• 11:03
  Here's
• 11:04
  your
• 11:04
  action
• 11:04
  step
• 11:04
  for
• 11:04
  today.
• 11:06
  Before
• 11:06
  the
• 11:06
  day
• 11:06
  is
• 11:06
  over,
• 11:07
  I
• 11:07
  want
• 11:07
  you
• 11:07
  to
• 11:08
  start
• 11:08
  performing
• 11:08
  innocence
• 11:10
  about
• 11:10
  something.
• 11:11
  You
• 11:11
  know
• 11:11
  what
• 11:11
  it
• 11:11
  is
• 11:12
  situation.
• 11:12
  You've
• 11:12
  been
• 11:12
  washing
• 11:13
  your
• 11:13
  hands
• 11:13
  of
• 11:14
  the
• 11:14
  injustice.
• 11:14
  You've
• 11:15
  been
• 11:15
  calling.
• 11:15
  Not
• 11:15
  my
• 11:16
  problem
• 11:17
  or
• 11:17
  that
• 11:17
  person
• 11:17
  you've
• 11:17
  been
• 11:18
  staying
• 11:18
  silent
• 11:18
  about
• 11:18
  because
• 11:19
  speaking
• 11:19
  up
• 11:19
  is
• 11:19
  inconvenient.
• 11:21
  So
• 11:21
  today,
• 11:21
  put
• 11:21
  the
• 11:21
  basin
• 11:22
  down.
• 11:22
  You
• 11:22
  don't
• 11:23
  have
• 11:23
  to
• 11:23
  fix
• 11:23
  everything,
• 11:24
  but
• 11:24
  you
• 11:24
  do
• 11:24
  have
• 11:25
  to
• 11:25
  stop
• 11:25
  pretending
• 11:25
  your
• 11:26
  hands
• 11:26
  are
• 11:26
  clean.
• 11:27
  Name
• 11:27
  it,
• 11:28
  claim
• 11:28
  it,
• 11:29
  even
• 11:29
  just
• 11:29
  to
• 11:29
  yourself.
• 11:30
  That's
• 11:30
  where
• 11:30
  courage
• 11:30
  begins
• 11:32
  over
• 11:32
  prayer.
• 11:33
  Here
• 11:33
  in
• 11:33
  just
• 11:33
  a
• 11:33
  minute.
• 11:34
  I
• 11:35
  want
• 11:35
  you
• 11:35
  to
• 11:35
  know
• 11:35
  that
• 11:35
  we
• 11:35
  have
• 11:36
  a
• 11:38
  a
• 11:38
  resource
• 11:38
  for
• 11:39
  you
• 11:39
  called

  voiceofgoddaily.com
• 11:48
  let's
• 11:49
  pray
• 11:50
  God,
• 11:50
  this
• 11:50
  story
• 11:51
  hurts.
• 11:51
  It's
• 11:51
  supposed
• 11:52
  to
• 11:52
  hurt.
• 11:52
  We
• 11:53
  read
• 11:53
  about
• 11:53
  the
• 11:53
  mocking
• 11:54
  and
• 11:54
  the
• 11:54
  nails
• 11:54
  and
• 11:54
  the
• 11:55
  darkness.
• 11:55
  We
• 11:55
  want
• 11:55
  to
• 11:55
  look
• 11:56
  away,
• 11:56
  but
• 11:56
  you
• 11:56
  don't
• 11:56
  let
• 11:57
  us.
• 11:57
  Because
• 11:58
  you
• 11:58
  didn't
• 11:58
  look
• 11:58
  away
• 11:59
  either.
• 11:59
  You
• 11:59
  walked
• 12:00
  straight
• 12:00
  into
• 12:00
  the
• 12:00
  worst
• 12:00
  humanity
• 12:01
  had
• 12:01
  to
• 12:01
  offer
• 12:01
  and
• 12:02
  you
• 12:02
  absorbed
• 12:02
  it.
• 12:03
  So
• 12:04
  today
• 12:04
  we
• 12:04
  bring
• 12:04
  to
• 12:05
  you
• 12:05
  our
• 12:05
  own
• 12:05
  dark
• 12:05
  days.
• 12:06
  The
• 12:06
  places
• 12:07
  where
• 12:07
  we
• 12:07
  feel
• 12:07
  abandoned,
• 12:08
  the
• 12:08
  silences
• 12:08
  that
• 12:09
  scare
• 12:09
  us,
• 12:09
  the
• 12:10
  suffering
• 12:10
  we
• 12:10
  can't
• 12:10
  explain.
• 12:11
  We're
• 12:11
  not

  Whatever

  Crying

  We
