  Hello, friends. It is shown here and thank you
• 0:16
  for joining me today on Maundy Thursday morning that why is it
• 0:21
  called Maundy Thursday? It's not because we're all sad
• 0:24
  and morning, but more Andy is a version of the Latin word mun
• 0:29
  data. I'm like a mandate and
• 0:31
  instruction and this is referring to not Luke.
• 0:35
  What we're going to read today. But John's version of today's
• 0:40
  events in John. Chapter 13 when Jesus says this
• 0:43
  is my commandment love one. Another as I have loved you and
• 0:48
  he washes their feet and today is the day, where we remember
• 0:53
  Jesus command to us. That we are to love and to serve
• 0:58
  each other. So when you hear the word more,
• 1:00
  Andy know that Jesus tells you to love one.
• 1:03
  Another, as he has loved us, and that is what we are going to
• 1:08
  hear all about today, as we read through this challenging and
• 1:14
  difficult to hear. But equally remarkable and
• 1:18
  impressive rating because this is the god who loves us and
• 1:23
  places himself in this position because he loves us. so join me
• 1:29
  friends, as we read together the incredible, Luke chapter 22
• 1:45
  The Festival of unleavened bread which is also called Passover
• 1:49
  was approaching the leading priests and teachers of
• 1:52
  religious law were plotting how to kill Jesus but they were
• 1:56
  afraid of the people's reaction, then Satan entered into Judas,
• 2:01
  Iscariot who was one of the 12 disciples and he went to the
• 2:06
  leading priests and captains of the temple guard to discuss the
• 2:09
  best way to betray Jesus to them.
• 2:12
  They were delighted and they promised to give him money so he
• 2:17
  agreed and began looking for an opportunity to betray Jesus.
• 2:21
  So they could arrest him when the crowds weren't around.
• 2:26
  Now, the festival unleavened bread arrived, when the Passover
• 2:30
  Lamb is sacrificed, Jesus, sent Peter, and John ahead and said
• 2:35
  go and prepare the Passover meal so we can eat it together.
• 2:40
  Where do you want us to prepare it?
• 2:42
  They asked him. He replied as he went to
• 2:45
  Jerusalem. A man carrying a pitcher of
• 2:48
  water will meet you. Follow him at the house.
• 2:52
  He enters said to the owner. The teacher asks where is the
• 2:56
  guest room where I can eat the Passover meal with my disciples?
• 3:01
  He will take you upstairs to a large room.
• 3:03
  That is already set up. That is where you should prepare
• 3:07
  our meal. They went off to the city and
• 3:10
  found everything just as Jesus had said, and they prepared the
• 3:14
  Passover meal there. When the time came Jesus and the
• 3:19
  apostles sat down together at the table.
• 3:22
  Jesus said, I have been very eager to eat this Passover meal
• 3:27
  with you before my suffering Begins for.
• 3:30
  I tell you now that I won't eat this meal again until its
• 3:34
  meaning is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
• 3:38
  Then he took a cup of wine and gave thanks to God for it.
• 3:41
  Then he said, take this and share it among yourselves for I
• 3:46
  will not drink wine again until the kingdom of God has come, he
• 3:51
  took some bread and gave thanks to God for it.
• 3:54
  Then he broke it in pieces and gave it to his disciples.
• 3:57
  Saying, this is my body which is given for you do this in
• 4:02
  remembrance of me. After the supper, he took
• 4:05
  another cup of wine and said this cup is the New Covenant
• 4:09
  between God and his people, an agreement confirmed with my
• 4:13
  blood, which is poured out as a sacrifice for you.
• 4:18
  But here at this table sitting among us, as a friend, is the
• 4:23
  man who will betray me for it? Has been determined that the son
• 4:27
  of man must die, but what sorrow?
• 4:31
  Awaits the one who betrayed him? The disciples began to ask each
• 4:35
  other which of them would ever do such a thing.
• 4:40
  Then they began to argue among themselves about who would be
• 4:42
  the greatest among them. Jesus told them in this world,
• 4:46
  the Kings and great men lorded over there.
• 4:49
  People yet, they are called friends of the people but among
• 4:54
  you it will be different. Those who are the greatest among
• 4:58
  you should take the lowest Rank and the leader should be like a
• 5:02
  servant who is more important. The one who sits at the table,
• 5:07
  or the one who serves The one who sits at the table, of
• 5:11
  course, but not here for. I am among you as one who serves
• 5:17
  You have stayed with me in my time of trial and just as my
• 5:20
  father has granted me a kingdom. I now, Grant you the right to
• 5:25
  eat and drink at my table, in my kingdom and you will sit on
• 5:30
  Thrones judging the 12 tribes of Israel.
• 5:35
  Simon Simon Satan has asked to sift each of you like wheat, but
• 5:42
  I have pleaded in prayer for you.
• 5:44
  Simon that your faith should not fail.
• 5:48
  So, when you have repented and turned to me again, strengthen
• 5:52
  your brothers, Peter said, Lord, I'm ready to go to prison with
• 5:57
  you and even to die with you. But Jesus said, Peter, let me
• 6:03
  tell you something. Before the rooster crows
• 6:06
  tomorrow morning, you will deny three times that you even know
• 6:11
  me. And Jesus asked them when I sent
• 6:15
  you out to preach the good news and you did not have money a
• 6:19
  Traveller's bag or an extra pair of sandals.
• 6:22
  Did you need anything? No, they're applied.
• 6:26
  But now he said, take your money and a traveler's bag.
• 6:30
  And if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one for
• 6:34
  the time. Has Come For This prophecy about
• 6:36
  me to be fulfilled. He was counted among the rebels.
• 6:42
  Yes. Everything written about me by
• 6:44
  the prophets. Will come true.
• 6:46
  Look Lord. They replied we have two swords
• 6:49
  Among Us. That's enough.
• 6:52
  He said then accompanied by the disciples Jesus left the
• 6:57
  upstairs room and went as usual to the Mount of Olives there.
• 7:01
  He told them pray that you will not give in to temptation.
• 7:07
  He walked away about a stone's throw and knelt down and prayed.
• 7:11
  Father, if you are willing, please take this cup of
• 7:17
  suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done,
• 7:22
  not mine, that an angel from heaven appeared and strengthened
• 7:26
  him, he prayed more fervently, and he was in such Agony of
• 7:31
  spirit that his sweat fell to the ground.
• 7:34
  Like great drops of blood at last.
• 7:38
  He stood up again and returned to his disciples, only to find
• 7:41
  them asleep. Exhausted from grief.
• 7:45
  Why are you sleeping? He asked them, get up and pray
• 7:50
  so that you will not give in to temptation.
• 7:53
  But even as Jesus said, this a crowd approached led by Judas,
• 7:58
  one of the Twelve Disciples Judas walked over to Jesus to
• 8:02
  greet him with a kiss. But Jesus said Judas, would you
• 8:07
  betray the son of man with a kiss?
• 8:12
  When the other disciples saw what was about to happen, they
• 8:15
  exclaimed, Lord, should we fight?
• 8:18
  We brought the swords and one of them, struck the high priests
• 8:21
  slave, slashing off his right ear.
• 8:24
  But Jesus said, no more of this. And he touched the man's ear and
• 8:29
  healed him and Jesus spoke to the leading priests the captains
• 8:33
  of the temple guard, and the elders, who would come for him?
• 8:37
  Am I some dangerous revolutionary?
• 8:40
  He asked that you come with swords.
• 8:42
  And clubs to arrest me. Why didn't you arrest me in the
• 8:45
  temple? I was there every day but this
• 8:49
  is your moment, the time and the power of Darkness Reigns So they
• 8:55
  arrested him and led him to the high priests home and Peter
• 8:59
  followed at a distance. The guards lit, a fire in the
• 9:03
  middle of the courtyard and sat around it and Peter join them
• 9:06
  there. A servant girl noticed him in
• 9:09
  the firelight and began staring at him.
• 9:12
  Finally. She said this man was one of
• 9:15
  Jesus followers, but Peter denied it woman he said I don't
• 9:20
  even know him. After a while, someone else
• 9:23
  looked at him and said, you must be one of them.
• 9:27
  No, man. I'm not Peter retorted about an
• 9:31
  hour later. Someone else insisted this must
• 9:34
  be one of them because he is a Galilean to.
• 9:38
  But Peter said, man, I don't know what you were talking about
• 9:43
  and immediately while he was still speaking, the rooster
• 9:47
  crowed at that moment, the Lord turned and looked at Peter.
• 9:52
  Suddenly the Lord's words. Flashed through Peters mind
• 9:56
  before the rooster crows tomorrow morning.
• 9:58
  You will deny three times that you even know me Peter left the
• 10:03
  courtyard weeping bitterly. The Gods in charge of Jesus,
• 10:10
  began mocking and beating him at blindfolded him and said,
• 10:14
  prophesy to us who hit you that time, then they hurled all sorts
• 10:19
  of terrible insults at him. At Daybreak, all the Elders of
• 10:24
  the people assembled, including the leading priests and the
• 10:27
  teachers of religious law, Jesus was led before this High Council
• 10:32
  and they said, tell us, are you the Messiah?
• 10:37
  But he replied if I tell you, you won't believe me.
• 10:41
  And if I ask you a question, you won't answer.
• 10:45
  But from now on the son of man will be seated in the place of
• 10:50
  power at God's right hand. And they all shouted.
• 10:54
  So are you claiming to be the Son of God and he replied, you
• 10:59
  say that I am. Why do we need other Witnesses?
• 11:03
  They said, we ourselves heard him say it.
• 11:17
  Jesus, we hear the story and our hearts sink.
• 11:23
  It's so hard to hear of you putting yourself In Harm's Way
• 11:26
  like this. But knowing your mission, you
• 11:31
  put your will to the side and you follow your father's will.
• 11:35
  Thank you for this incredible example for us.
• 11:40
  And thank you for the story of Peter who so boldly and so
• 11:44
  confidently, follows you all his life.
• 11:51
  And then denies you when it counts.
• 11:54
  We are like that to Jesus. We love you with our whole
• 11:59
  hearts and we fail you again, and again, just like you forgive
• 12:06
  Peter, thank you for your forgiveness, fast.
• 12:14
  As we follow you to that hill and Calvary.
• 12:18
  We thank you for your sacrifice for us.
• 12:21
  We thank you for the insane amount of love that you have for
• 12:25
  us. That draws you ever closer to
• 12:28
  that point? Not for your good but for our
• 12:33
  good so we can be with you. We are humbled by you, your
• 12:40
  majesty and your love for us. And it's in your Mighty and
• 12:46
  humbling name that we pray. I'm him.
• 12:49
  I'm him.
