  Speaker 1: much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy

  Speaker 2: and pray, and then we will get underway. Father and Heaven.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Thank you for giving us this day. Thank you for
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: loving us so much that you gave us your son. Father.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: It is now that we look and drill into the
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: story when Jesus was just about to give his life,
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: and then indeed did Father, Please give us holiness, give
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: us a desire to do your will that is driven
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: through service. Father, please give us understanding and Jesus name,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: I pray, Amen and Amen again. Are you the King
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: of the Jews. Now, this is a long drawn out
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: mock trial discussion between well, I'm not even sure if
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: it's a full discussion between because Jesus had some eloquent
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: silence while he was quote on trial. But the question
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: are you the King of the Jews comes from the
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Book of Mark, the Bible Book of Mark, chapter fifteen,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: and I will read beginning at verse one, and the
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Bible reads and straightway. In the morning, the chief priests
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: whole council and bound Jesus. Now this is not the
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: desired outcome, brothers and sis. When God's people come together,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: especially the leaders, the intention should never be that something
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: negative happen. Can we just go ahead and run to
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: application right here, we don't have to wait like when
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: God's people, especially the counsel of the leaders of God's Church.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Whenever we come together, Jesus needs to be free in
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: our lives to rule and reign and guide us according
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: to his will. But in this case, in this case,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: they bound Jesus physically literally and carried him away and
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: delivered him to Pilot. They delivered him to Pilot, and
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Pilot asked him art thou the King of the Jews?
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: And he, answering, said, unto them, thou sayest it? And
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: the chief priest accused him of many things, but he
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: answered nothing. Another lesson we can get right here is
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: that when we are who God says we are, need
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: to defend ourselves. Man, just say that again. When you
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: appear at your job, in your businesses in public, when
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: you are at the gym, you are in your home
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: with your spouse, if you're if you're married, or whoever
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: your family happens to be. Ah, when you are working out,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: and you are on the road in taxis and on buses,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: you do not have to prove who you are when
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: you're living according to God's principles. And here they are
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: accusing him. They're accusing him, they're making it seem as
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: if Jesus is not who he said he is. And Pilot,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: this is just a long discussion about Pilot. That's there's
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: too long a discussion to get into here. But he
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: did not, he did not use his authority to release
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Jesus when he understood very clearly that Jesus was innocent
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: of all of the charges that God's people were hurling
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: against him. And so the Bible says that the chief
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: priest accuse him of any things that were lies, by
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: the way, and he said nothing verse four, And Pilot
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: asked him again, saying, answer is thou nothing? Behold how
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: many things they witness against thee. But Jesus yet answered
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: what did he answer nothing? What did he say nothing?
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: So Pilot marveled. Now at the feast he was released
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: into into one. Now at the feast he released unto
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: them one prisoner whosoever they desired. And there was one
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: name Barabbas, and they lay bound with them and had
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: made insurrection with him, who had committed murder and insurrection.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: So this dude was a legit murderer. This dude was
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: an actual criminal. He deserved exactly what he was about
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: to get. But now Pilot is playing politricks. I did
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: not say politics. I said politricks. He was trying to
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: live on both sides of the fence. He knew good
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: and well that Jesus was innocent of all charges. He
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: knew good and well that Jesus was holy. He understood
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: this ah, and he knew that the people of God
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: were really just trying to use trickery. But instead of
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: him just simply releasing Jesus, he feared losing his career.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: And maybe maybe it's possible that he feared his safety
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but he had the wrong thing on
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: his mind when he was making decisions. Here was another lesson.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: When God has entrusted you, brothers and sisters, when He
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: has entrusted me with solid and powerful and influential decisions,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: it really doesn't matter what type, but I'm speaking of
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: those in particular. Do not leave the outcome to chance.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Yield your wills, brothers and sisters. I must yield my
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: will to God, and say, God, how would you have
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: me to live? What decision would you have for me
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: to make? And God is teaching us very clearly here
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: that Pilot made the wrong decision. And I wish that
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: were just the wrong decision, but it was a decision
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: that will hold him up in history as the guy
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: who shirked responsibility and could have become a servant of
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: the most High God, blessed be his name. And so
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: they let this do go, and the multitude, crying aloud,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: began to desire him to do as he had ever
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: done to them. But Pilot answered, saying, will ye that
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: I release unto you Jesus, the King of the Jews.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: For they knew that the Chief, he knew that the
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: chief priests had delivered him for envy. The chief priests
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: move the people, and he would rather release Barabbas unto them.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: So Barabas gets to go free. He's a real murderer
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: and insurrectionist. He gets to go free. But Jesus stays bound.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: What irony? And Pilot answered and said, unto them again,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: what will ye that I shall do? Unto him whom
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: ye call king of the Jews? And they cried out again,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: crucify him. And so we can see that the enemy
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: is loose in the crowd. We can see that evil
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: angels are inciting violence. Whenever you see mobs of violent people,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: you have to know that the devil is present. This
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: is not some mystical thing. That's not some conspiratory thing.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: This is real. That enemy is always present, stoking the
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: fires of mob mentality. That's who's behind it. And we
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: can tell because now they are crying out crucify him.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Why were they crying out to crucify him? Jesus who
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: was innocent, Jesus who came to seek and to save
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: that which was lost, Jesus who only healed and delivered
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: people from oppression, Why would you want to crucify him?
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: And Pilot said unto them, why what evil has he done?
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: And they cried out the more exceedingly crucify him. And
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: so Pilot, willing to content the people, released Barabis unto
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: them and then delivered Jesus when he had scourged him
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: to be crucified. We will learn in the story that
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: he was trying to find another way out and sent
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: him over to Herod, because yeah, Jesus comes from Galilee,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: and Herod found the same thing that Pilot found, that
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Jesus was innocent. But the bottom line is these dudes,
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: neither one of them would stand up with the power
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: and authority that God had entrusted to them and let
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Jesus go free and check the murderous mob that were
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: supposed to be God's people. So when Jesus comes into
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: your life as king, do you accept him as king?
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Or do you cart him around and shirk the responsibility.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening, friends, Always remember we cannot
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: portion with el David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
