Speaker:

Hey everybody.

2

:

Welcome back to another edition

of the daily Bible podcast.

3

:

Here we go again.

4

:

Here we go.

5

:

Again, a few days out from the trans

formed conference, the transformed

6

:

conference.org or our G yeah.

7

:

And if you still want to come and

you aren't registered there's time.

8

:

There's times jump online,

get registered show up.

9

:

Talk about some of the topics that

we're going to be expecting to hear.

10

:

Uh, marriage and family.

11

:

And.

12

:

Uh, things about husbands

and wives and family members.

13

:

No, I just call it transformed.

14

:

Because.

15

:

Going to do with optimists

and yes, transformers.

16

:

We're going to actually have

transformers there, dude.

17

:

That would be so cool.

18

:

My kids would love it.

19

:

They would love it, but unfortunately,

we're not going to have that.

20

:

That's a bummer.

21

:

Um, no, it's, it's uh, this is

such an important conference.

22

:

I don't mean to make light of it.

23

:

It is, uh, the, the topic, the subject.

24

:

In fact, I was thinking about it

today, reflecting on it today.

25

:

Um, Satan hates your family.

26

:

And I don't know if you understand that.

27

:

Satan absolutely hates the building

block of the nuclear family.

28

:

And yet God has chosen the building

block in the nuclear family as

29

:

the very foundation of society.

30

:

From the very beginning, it's

been a husband and wife and

31

:

children, and that's been his

design and that's been his program.

32

:

That's been his plan.

33

:

And he's used that to form cultures.

34

:

He's used that to form his own people and

the people of Israel he's used that to.

35

:

Uh, to, to launch churches and bring

churches together, churches are made up of

36

:

family units coming together to do this.

37

:

He's used the family to be the first

classrooms for children to hear about him.

38

:

He's used the family to be.

39

:

Uh, the, the place where people

in neighborhoods are brought

40

:

into relationship with him as, as

people share the gospel with them.

41

:

And so the family is so integral to God's

plan for what he's doing in this world.

42

:

And that's why Satan hates your family.

43

:

And so we want to make sure that you

understand why the family matters

44

:

biblically speaking, and you may get it.

45

:

I get that conceptually.

46

:

You're probably like, okay.

47

:

Yeah.

48

:

I'm tracking with that.

49

:

But there are so many important

topics for us to dive into.

50

:

I'm going to kick it off with kind of an

overview on, on why marriage and family

51

:

matter in, in general and kind of building

on what I was just talking about there.

52

:

But, uh, our second session on

Friday night, pastor Mike is going

53

:

to be giving a, an admonition to

why the church matters in family.

54

:

Uh, why should the church

impact your family?

55

:

Why should it be something that

you prioritize in your family?

56

:

And so that'll be a session

two on Friday night.

57

:

There's going to be some

meet and greet afterwards.

58

:

Um, And then Saturday, we're

getting into the, the gist of, uh,

59

:

of the day that the main session.

60

:

And so Dr.

61

:

Mueller, Albert Mueller is going

to open up and highlight three

62

:

marriages and church history.

63

:

So he's going to be focusing in on.

64

:

Some significant historical marriages

and what we can learn from them.

65

:

Uh, the next session, session four.

66

:

I think this one's going to

be again, very, very practical

67

:

disciplining the next generation.

68

:

So pastor, Mike's going to talk about.

69

:

Discipline in the home.

70

:

And for you as parents with kids, I

know we have a lot of young families

71

:

in our church, which is great.

72

:

Um, and I remember a young dad

trying to figure out discipline

73

:

and how to do it, and it.

74

:

Some parameters worth.

75

:

This is going to be a super

helpful message for that.

76

:

Disciplining the next generation.

77

:

After this, we're going to have a

Q and a, from two 15 to three 15.

78

:

That's going to be an opportunity to

ask your questions on these topics.

79

:

Any questions at all?

80

:

At these topics.

81

:

Exactly.

82

:

I'm just going to be up there

and seeing, but, uh, Dr.

83

:

Mohler will be up there.

84

:

Dr.

85

:

FUBARs is going to be up there.

86

:

Pastor Mike, he's going to be, they're

going to be answering questions there.

87

:

And then Dr.

88

:

Mohler is going to be up again after that,

talking about the family in the future.

89

:

Again, I think this is another

one that's gonna be super helpful.

90

:

What are the threats?

91

:

Right?

92

:

I want to see, I want

to be at all of these.

93

:

Well, you will be.

94

:

Um, what kind of whittling, what are

the threats that we are anticipating

95

:

coming down the pipeline for us and

even after this election, right.

96

:

Just because we get a four year respite,

maybe, um, we still need to know

97

:

what are some of these threats and,

uh, and that's going to be a super.

98

:

Really, really tangible dig your

teeth into a message on, on what

99

:

to anticipate coming forward.

100

:

And men have that, man.

101

:

Well, you know what?

102

:

It's a rare condition this day and age to

read any good news on the newspaper page.

103

:

I mean, love and tradition

and the grand design.

104

:

Some people say that's

even harder to find.

105

:

I mean, I'm just thinking off the top of

my head here, but as days go by, we're

106

:

going to fill our houses with happy.

107

:

Okay, I'm sorry.

108

:

I repent.

109

:

I'll stop.

110

:

They'll stop.

111

:

We should call it.

112

:

The family matters.

113

:

I'm just saying that I was there.

114

:

I found this out.

115

:

I'm sorry.

116

:

This is slightly unrelated, but related.

117

:

The guy who sings the family matters.

118

:

Yes.

119

:

And the full house song

and the, uh, family time.

120

:

He saying everything.

121

:

I think he did wonder years too.

122

:

Um, I don't know if that's, well,

yeah, the, this, this guy who sings

123

:

that song, he's all over the place.

124

:

Yes dab.

125

:

Yeah.

126

:

Um, yeah, it's, it's, it's crazy.

127

:

My whole childhood is this guy's voice.

128

:

Yep.

129

:

And I never noticed it in.

130

:

Want me to the moon, really New York.

131

:

That's a, that's a different guy.

132

:

Um, no, I think that I'm

pretty sure it's the same guy.

133

:

Really.

134

:

Um, yeah, Frank Sinatra, same guy.

135

:

I think we're talking about the same guy.

136

:

Frank Sinatra.

137

:

Yes, but not the guy who's

saying the I'm pretty sure

138

:

he's saying family matters too.

139

:

Okay.

140

:

Okay.

141

:

Anyway, join us at the conference.

142

:

You're not going to be disappointed.

143

:

It's going to be a great

set of teaching of Q and a.

144

:

Not gonna wanna miss this.

145

:

At the time it's man, it

is going to be so rich.

146

:

The closer it gets, the more and

more excited I'm getting myself.

147

:

It's gotta be great.

148

:

Yeah.

149

:

You're there.

150

:

A good memory.

151

:

The same way to promo code.

152

:

Providence Providence.

153

:

But it's all upper case.

154

:

Yes.

155

:

If you want to, if you want to save

$25, $25, if you want to spend an extra

156

:

$50, use the promo code, random chance.

157

:

Uh, sure.

158

:

Yeah.

159

:

Yeah, or just write a

check to pastor rod Gomez.

160

:

And mail it to you.

161

:

I prefer, I prefer they take

the other side here, random

162

:

chance in the promo codes.

163

:

Okay.

164

:

And then, yeah.

165

:

See what happens.

166

:

Do you pay $50 more?

167

:

All right.

168

:

Well that wouldn't be random.

169

:

That's pretty calculated.

170

:

Well, Let's jump into the word of God.

171

:

Let's.

172

:

Also something that random

Matthew 27 and, uh, mark 15.

173

:

There's some overlap

between these two chapters.

174

:

A lot of similar ground is

going to be covered here.

175

:

Uh, but it's, it's helpful

for us to see them.

176

:

Laid on top of one another.

177

:

So again, right off the bat, Matthew

27, 1 through two, we've got, uh,

178

:

he, Jesus being turned over to pilot.

179

:

Um, after he gives to Caiaphas.

180

:

So first he starts with typhus.

181

:

Kind of just being the high priest.

182

:

They decided he has to die after

trumping up charges against

183

:

him on tearing down the temple.

184

:

And, uh, in tearing the robe

and accusing them of blossoming.

185

:

Well, the Jews didn't have

the ability to crucify Jesus.

186

:

They couldn't do that

of their own authority.

187

:

They needed to go to the Romans.

188

:

And the Romans were the only ones

that could issue that death sentence.

189

:

And so that's why Jesus goes from

Caiaphas to pilot here in the

190

:

beginning of Matthew chapter 27.

191

:

And so they take him there, they deliver

over there and meanwhile, then we

192

:

get this vignette flashback to Judas.

193

:

Judas.

194

:

It says in Matthew 27, 3 changed his mind.

195

:

Now sometimes you'll hear people

say that that's what repentance is.

196

:

Repentance is a changing of the mind.

197

:

I'm changing my mind about my sin.

198

:

I'm changing my mind

about this relationship.

199

:

I'm changing my mind about this

thing and that's me repenting.

200

:

But this is why it's so important that we

differentiate repentance from changing our

201

:

mind, because this word here that's used

to change his mind by Matthew's account

202

:

in Matthew chapter 27, 3 is not the same

word that we get for, for repentance.

203

:

Repentance is a different word that meant

in military terms and about face that

204

:

implied a change, not only of mine, but

also of direction, Judas changes his mind,

205

:

but you just never changes his direction.

206

:

Judas never truly repents.

207

:

And that's why in this tragic scene.

208

:

I mean here, you have Judas

going back to the precinct.

209

:

Okay.

210

:

Yeah, I was wrong.

211

:

Take the money back.

212

:

They said, no, we're

not going to take that.

213

:

It's tainted with, with

somebody's blood on it now.

214

:

And then he ends up going

out and killing himself.

215

:

And they take the money and they buy

a Potter's field for the burial of

216

:

the poor and the unknown in the area.

217

:

But this is a horrible, tragic

end for Judas here in Matthew 27.

218

:

Yeah, just a quick

commentary about that too.

219

:

On Judas.

220

:

Second Corinthians chapter seven, verse 10

and 11 verse 10 is specifically for God.

221

:

The grief produces a repentance that

leads to salvation without regret.

222

:

That word regret is what we

have here for, for Judas.

223

:

He has regret, although he

doesn't have repentance.

224

:

And Paul says here.

225

:

Uh, we're as worldly grief produces death.

226

:

So he has repentance and of course

he eventually kills himself, which

227

:

is correspondent to the kind of

sorrow that he felt it wasn't godly.

228

:

Repentance.

229

:

God, the repentance will not do that.

230

:

If you're interested in, in a

great sermon highlighting the

231

:

differences between Judas and Peter.

232

:

Can I recommend a sermon by Bobby Blakey?

233

:

Who's the pastor of compass

HB compass Huntington beach.

234

:

And the sermon is called.

235

:

Everyone feels bad about Jesus.

236

:

And so if you searched Bobby Blakey,

everyone feels bad about Jesus.

237

:

I think that'll come up super good sermon.

238

:

Talking about the difference

between worldly grief in God,

239

:

the grief highlighting those

two individuals specific for.

240

:

Yeah.

241

:

All right.

242

:

So then we flashed back here in verse 11.

243

:

Jesus is now before pilot and Jesus

is being interviewed by pilot pilots,

244

:

asking them all these different

questions, because he wants to know

245

:

whether or not he's deserving of death.

246

:

And the only question Jesus really

answers is when pilot asks him, if he

247

:

is the king of the Jews and Jesus says

he is, he says, yeah, you've said that

248

:

it is so anything else he won't answer.

249

:

And so pilot has this idea.

250

:

He said, surely this is just jealousy.

251

:

So he offers the crowd, a known

insurrectionist a murderer in Barabis.

252

:

So.

253

:

There's no way they're going to choose

Barabis let's just call their bluff.

254

:

Well, the, the religious leaders

have stirred up the crowd so

255

:

much that they will not be

reasonable people at this point.

256

:

And they call for the release

of this convicted murderer.

257

:

And demand that Jesus

be crucified in instead.

258

:

And so pilot, his hands are tied.

259

:

He ceremonial.

260

:

Uh, ceremonial, he washes his hands

as though that's going to make him

261

:

innocent of this and in a spineless move.

262

:

Turns Jesus over to avoid a riot and

engage gives Jesus to be crucified,

263

:

even though he, by his own admission

says, there's nothing that I can find

264

:

with this man that deserves crucifixion.

265

:

So pilot's kind of a slime ball.

266

:

He is not a good character for

us in any way, shape or form.

267

:

And that's consistent with

historical records about who he is.

268

:

His character is.

269

:

He's kind of a, an interesting

character in the gospels.

270

:

He might even seem somewhat

like a good guy, right.

271

:

Because he does push back on them.

272

:

And he, you know, he, he

obviously acknowledges that

273

:

they have ulterior motives.

274

:

Uh, but he's really not a good guy.

275

:

Historically speaking.

276

:

There's a lot of dirt on pilot that

just does not put them in a very helpful

277

:

or very, very positive spotlight.

278

:

So this is consistent with this character.

279

:

He's a politician when

it comes down to it.

280

:

And he's concerned about

keeping his position of power.

281

:

And the Jews, the Jewish leaders that are,

that is, are playing their, their hand.

282

:

Well, they're, they're essentially

saying, look, you don't want it right.

283

:

Do you pilot that would

look very bad on you.

284

:

And certainly you want

to keep your position.

285

:

So if you want to do things

the right way, you're going to

286

:

help us get rid of this guy.

287

:

Right.

288

:

So there's a mutual, uh, shaking

each other's hands here to say,

289

:

okay, we both like our power.

290

:

Let's just get rid of this guy together.

291

:

So.

292

:

Pilot's not a great guy, even though

it seems like he's the victim here.

293

:

He's certainly not.

294

:

He's not in a sense.

295

:

He's certainly going to be

held accountable for his place.

296

:

Yup.

297

:

Yeah, from here, uh, Jesus has turned over

to the soldiers who mock and beat him.

298

:

Uh, there's probably took place right.

299

:

Adjacent to the temple Mount in a

building called the Antonia fortress.

300

:

It's not there anymore, but it was

a Roman fortress that was built

301

:

intentionally right by the temple Mount.

302

:

So that the Romans could keep tabs on

what was going on with the Jewish people.

303

:

And so this is probably where this trial

is taking place and where Jesus is being

304

:

mocked and beaten, um, is, is right there.

305

:

And then they, they lead him out

and we get the crucifixion account.

306

:

And this is verses 32 through 38.

307

:

Uh, here they contract a man from the

crowd Simon who ends up carrying Jesus

308

:

cross in the state that he was in with

all of his beatings and floggings.

309

:

He wouldn't have had the physical

strength in his humanity left

310

:

to bear his, his crossbeam to

the police at the crucifixion.

311

:

So they call this man Simon.

312

:

In from the crowd and they have him

drink or they have him carry the cross.

313

:

And then when they get there and

they crucify him and it's, I'm

314

:

always struck by how simply the, the

authors, the biblical authors depict

315

:

and tell us that they crucified him.

316

:

Yeah, verse 35.

317

:

Doesn't even like it.

318

:

It's just, and when

they crucified him yeah.

319

:

It didn't make a bigger point of

it, then you would think they'd be

320

:

like, and then there was silence.

321

:

And then, you know, then they

stuck the nail in his head.

322

:

You'd expect a little more drama in right.

323

:

But they just stated as a matter of fact.

324

:

Right.

325

:

Right.

326

:

And they offer him this drink.

327

:

And if you're wondering what that was,

it was a, basically an anesthetic that

328

:

was meant to Dole some of the pain.

329

:

It was, it.

330

:

It was a

331

:

kind of a tacit act of mercy towards the

criminals that were dying to try to dull

332

:

some of the senses and Jesus refuses it,

I think because he was there to absorb the

333

:

full wrath and really the, the ultimate

pain that he was going to feel though he

334

:

experienced much physical pain, but the

ultimate pain he was going to experience

335

:

was the pain of the father's wrath on him.

336

:

And that wasn't something that, that

this wine was going to be able to.

337

:

To Dole.

338

:

You've got the casting of lots for his

clothes in fulfillment of Psalm 22.

339

:

18 there.

340

:

And then the note that he was crucified

between two thieves who are mocking

341

:

him along with the rest of the leaders.

342

:

Uh, versus 39 through 44.

343

:

Uh, all of these calls and there's so

much irony in there, mockery here because

344

:

they're calling on him to save himself.

345

:

And they're saying over and

over, and again, you who would

346

:

save other, save yourself.

347

:

Not realizing that gee could

Jesus have saved himself.

348

:

Sure.

349

:

But in saving himself, he would

have sealed the fate of every

350

:

other person and saving himself.

351

:

He wouldn't have saved anyone else.

352

:

If you were to have gotten down from the

cross, the way that they were mocking

353

:

him and challenging him to do this.

354

:

Yeah.

355

:

And their statement in verse 42 had.

356

:

Get down and we'll believe you.

357

:

Like that, that's a, that's a lie.

358

:

Even if Jesus gotten off the cross,

they wouldn't have believed in him.

359

:

But more than that, there would

have been nothing to believe in.

360

:

Because there would

have been no sacrifice.

361

:

There would've been no atoning.

362

:

Uh, sacrifice made so that

they could believe in anything

363

:

of substance at that point.

364

:

Right.

365

:

So it's, it's a tragic scene.

366

:

It's it's the, the leaders just more

evidence that they don't understand.

367

:

And then in verses 45 through

50, you get this, this.

368

:

Encounter in, I found myself reading this

in this, and also in mark 15, still trying

369

:

to just understand fully how Jesus dies.

370

:

Like that, that idea that God dies.

371

:

And this is the stumbling

block for the Jews.

372

:

This is the stumbling block

today for, uh, the Muslims.

373

:

This is why the, the Muslims point to the

fact that they say there's no way that

374

:

he could be God, because God cannot die.

375

:

And Jesus dies.

376

:

Uh, this is why so many people have

led to two other theories for the

377

:

resurrection beyond the fact that

he actually rose the Swoon theory.

378

:

He didn't actually die on the cross.

379

:

It's unbelievable that here you have

God dying in the form of, of Christ

380

:

Jesus in his full humidity dying.

381

:

That's it.

382

:

That's an amazing thing for

us to try to comprehend.

383

:

And it's the only

religion that offers this.

384

:

There's there's.

385

:

I guess there are.

386

:

Okay.

387

:

There, there are gods dying.

388

:

Uh, but, but in this case, in the, in

the Christian faith, Our God dies for us.

389

:

And he rises again,

conquering sin and death.

390

:

There's nothing like this.

391

:

In any other world, religion, you don't

have the full forgiveness of sins.

392

:

You don't have full righteousness

given to you as a gift.

393

:

Uh, received by faith.

394

:

You don't have this.

395

:

And this is what makes the Christian

message so unique and attractive.

396

:

This is one thing that the devil

is not for counterfeited yet.

397

:

And this is what makes our message.

398

:

So universally relevant, no matter

where you are and what time you

399

:

are, this message still sayings.

400

:

Yeah.

401

:

Yeah.

402

:

By the way, Jesus, the time markers

that Matthew gives here, he gives the

403

:

sixth hour to the, the ninth hours when

darkness came, that would have been

404

:

about 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM, but Jesus

had been crucified according to what

405

:

we learned in other gospels, including

mark 15, that we're about to see.

406

:

Uh, beginning at the third hour,

which would have been 9:00 AM.

407

:

So Jesus is on the cross for

six hours before he dies.

408

:

And yet what we'll find in

Mark's gospel is, is that

409

:

still was not a very long time.

410

:

Uh, for, for somebody to die.

411

:

Crucifixion right.

412

:

Um, Yeah, so Jesus dies.

413

:

Matthew 27 50.

414

:

He calls out my God, my God.

415

:

Why have you forsaken me?

416

:

Uh, that moment of him experiencing the

full wrath of the father against our sin.

417

:

And then the responses in verses

51 through 54, the veil is torn.

418

:

The tombs are open.

419

:

That's unique to Matthew.

420

:

He records.

421

:

That is the only one you have

the teams open people, walk out.

422

:

Which.

423

:

Why is he the only one that records that.

424

:

I don't know.

425

:

Is it beyond the pale of reasonableness?

426

:

No.

427

:

I mean, look at Lazarus, Lazarus came out

and would eventually go back in and all

428

:

these people that leave the tomb, they're

eventually going to die and go back in.

429

:

But.

430

:

This is the, this is

what the text says here.

431

:

Well, and I would be quick to note too.

432

:

Uh, there, there's a bit of a

disagreement about some of the Greek

433

:

behind this, but I want you to notice

that if you're reading what the in.

434

:

And the ESV with us.

435

:

There's an important component to this.

436

:

That seems at first at a place he

says here in verse 52 tombs were

437

:

opened many bodies of the saints who

had fallen asleep were raised and

438

:

coming out of the tombs, get this.

439

:

After his resurrection, they went into

the holy city and appeared to many.

440

:

So now Jesus remains the first fruits

of the resurrection because they

441

:

come out after his resurrection.

442

:

So it's here.

443

:

You wouldn't expect it to be

here, but Matthew's adding a note

444

:

at this takes place after the

resurrection, which is, I think.

445

:

Yeah, there's a, there's a handful

of translations that are not going to

446

:

translate it that way as being after.

447

:

I think this is a good one.

448

:

It's the right one.

449

:

And, uh, it keeps it a

preserved Jesus being the first

450

:

fruits of the resurrection.

451

:

If this is the resurrection in the

sense of glorification glorification.

452

:

Which I.

453

:

They're saints who have fallen asleep.

454

:

Aye.

455

:

Aye.

456

:

Aye.

457

:

I guess it's possible that it could

just be a general resurrection of.

458

:

That would be unusual for.

459

:

That would be to me more of a problem than

saying, okay, these are glorified saints

460

:

who are kind of a foretaste and a preview,

a Costco size sample of what's to come.

461

:

That makes more sense to me.

462

:

Yeah.

463

:

I don't know, man, because the, we

don't have any evidence of anyone

464

:

else receiving their glorified

bodies prior to the rapture.

465

:

I don't know what else.

466

:

Okay then.

467

:

Yeah.

468

:

Yes, that's true.

469

:

Which would make this.

470

:

Which is why this would be so unique.

471

:

But to say that this is a

general resurrection of sorts.

472

:

Okay.

473

:

Like.

474

:

What, what, why.

475

:

Like, what would that do?

476

:

What would that accomplish?

477

:

That to me also presents a lot of

questions and I guess they both do.

478

:

And neither one of them are

a solid, a solid case, but.

479

:

The first one makes more

sense to be in the second one.

480

:

So, yeah, I guess I'm on

the opposite side of it.

481

:

I think these are our like Lazarus

people that were resuscitated.

482

:

To come out of the teams.

483

:

Why?

484

:

I don't know.

485

:

It's fair.

486

:

It's a fair approach.

487

:

It's a, I just don't know.

488

:

I, yeah, I feel, yeah.

489

:

It doesn't tell us he

doesn't that's the problem.

490

:

We'll have to ask when we get there.

491

:

Versus the 55 to 56.

492

:

The women are there at the tomb

in, and you might say, okay, So,

493

:

well, that's important because

that points to contradicting.

494

:

One of the theories in that is

that they didn't know where the

495

:

tomb was or that there weren't eye

witnesses do his death on the cross.

496

:

And so here, even these

details help us with that.

497

:

And then he's buried in verses 50.

498

:

Th 57 through 66.

499

:

Uh, mark 15 picks up again, a

lot of the similar material here.

500

:

He's at pilot.

501

:

You've got Barabis.

502

:

You've got a mocked and beaten.

503

:

You've got the crucifixion.

504

:

Again, Mark's detail on verse 25.

505

:

It was the third hour.

506

:

Um, verse 28.

507

:

It is not there.

508

:

Did you notice that.

509

:

There's no mark 1528.

510

:

There's a few places

where that's like that.

511

:

I don't recall seeing it

this time around though.

512

:

Yeah.

513

:

So mark 1528, it goes from

mark:

514

:

And so if, if you were looking

for mark 15, 28, you're not going

515

:

to find it there, but you'll find

that little footnote in your ESV.

516

:

Number five, it says there on mine,

it says some manuscripts insert verse

517

:

28 and the scripture was fulfilled.

518

:

That says he was number

with the transgressors.

519

:

Basically what's going on here is.

520

:

Uh, the, the manuscript evidence is

heavier towards suggesting this was a

521

:

later scribal edition because, because

of the mention right there in verse 27,

522

:

they crucified two robbers with him.

523

:

And so the scribe was thinking, this

reminds me of Isaiah 53, which says that

524

:

he was numbered with the transgressors,

but the earlier manuscript evidence that

525

:

we have both Alexandra and Anne Western.

526

:

Um, they do not possess that, that,

uh, verse in the original text.

527

:

And so it's, it seems to be that this

is something that ascribe added later

528

:

on in a way to help explain the,

the reason why that the crucifixion

529

:

between the robbers was significant.

530

:

It's a good text.

531

:

Yeah.

532

:

Uh, the mocking takes

place versus 29, 30 32.

533

:

Again, you've got Jesus dying

verses 33 through 44 41.

534

:

And then you've got his burial in mark.

535

:

Uh, 1542 through 47

and one note mark:

536

:

Pilot is surprised to hear

how quickly Jesus died.

537

:

So there's a lot of questions surrounding,

um, the timeframe of all of these events.

538

:

When did this take place?

539

:

How long was Jesus on the cross?

540

:

When did the crucifixion happen?

541

:

This is evidence for us that, that this

was not a prolonged multi-day event.

542

:

That, that pilot is surprised that

he is dead already, basically.

543

:

Um, and we even see that when the

soldier is going to break his legs

544

:

in, I think John's account and

they're surprised to come to him and

545

:

find that he's, he's already done.

546

:

Um, so this was great.

547

:

This was not something that was, I mean,

it was quick from, from generally how long

548

:

it took a crucified victim to, to die.

549

:

But, uh, But he satisfied

God's right there.

550

:

And six hours on the cross.

551

:

Um, which is astounding.

552

:

And then you've got Mary

and Mary there in mark 15.

553

:

Watching to see the

place where he's buried.

554

:

So one quick note before, before I

forget, because I was looking up the

555

:

verse while you were talking here.

556

:

Uh, so, so that number being

numbered among the transgressors.

557

:

Uh, is found and Luke.

558

:

It's Luke 2237.

559

:

Yeah.

560

:

So Luke records that same verse.

561

:

Um, Which is still it doesn't

resolve it for us because we

562

:

believe, I believe in Luke and mark

and priority, meaning mark was the

563

:

first one to be written very likely.

564

:

Right.

565

:

And that Luke and Matthew borrowed from

mark as they compiled their resources.

566

:

So.

567

:

Luke has it.

568

:

So it was clearly around itself.

569

:

Someone was saying it.

570

:

Even if it wasn't originally in and mark.

571

:

Is there any footnotes on that with Luke?

572

:

Is there anything saying that

contested verse or anything?

573

:

Uh, Nope.

574

:

Interesting.

575

:

Nope.

576

:

It's it's there.

577

:

Okay, Luke 2237.

578

:

Good catch.

579

:

Yeah, it's and this is what we're

dealing with with textual criticism.

580

:

This is a great example.

581

:

Eh, this is not something that says, and

by the way, Jesus said, he's not gone.

582

:

Right.

583

:

It's something like this.

584

:

It's something going.

585

:

Okay.

586

:

Can we see the connection there?

587

:

W.

588

:

Certainly we can see the connection

there back to Isaiah 53, right.

589

:

And Luke makes the connection.

590

:

And so it's, it's possible

that maybe that's even why the

591

:

scribe added it here in mark 15.

592

:

Maybe.

593

:

Luke had recorded this already and

the scribe put it in there even

594

:

with a market priority who knows.

595

:

Um, we're not sure how it works.

596

:

Yeah.

597

:

We're not quite sure how it works.

598

:

We don't know which one

actually came first.

599

:

And how that all kit got compiled.

600

:

So that much, we can't say yeah.

601

:

So there you go.

602

:

Um, let's pray.

603

:

And then we'll be done with this episode.

604

:

God, we thank you for the reality of the

cross and the crucifixion and that Jesus

605

:

didn't save himself by getting down from

the cross, because then we would be lost.

606

:

Um, we're grateful for

the death of our savior.

607

:

Something that that is, is beyond our

ability to, to comprehend, um, in his full

608

:

humanity, we understand his death and yet

he was all at the same time, fully God.

609

:

And how that works for us is something

that is the mystery of the gospel.

610

:

And yet it's, it's so important that we

maintain both of those things because

611

:

without his full deity, we don't have.

612

:

A qualified substitute one that

is able to satisfy the full wrath

613

:

of God without his full humanity.

614

:

We don't have a qualified representative.

615

:

Uh, one that could represent us as

one of us and in going to the cross.

616

:

And so those two things are so necessary.

617

:

And yet so much greater than

our minds can comprehend.

618

:

And so we thank you for the reality.

619

:

And we pray that we would reflect

much on things like this and, and, and

620

:

stretch our minds by thinking deeply.

621

:

And if nothing else coming back to

being overwhelmingly grateful for

622

:

the sacrifice of Christ for us.

623

:

And so we pray that that would be the end.

624

:

Of of are the result of our

time in studying this passage.

625

:

We pray in Jesus name.

626

:

Amen.

627

:

Amen.

628

:

Hi, can you bring your Bibles

and tune in again tomorrow for

629

:

another episode of the daily Bible

podcast, we'll see you then folks.

630

:

Bye.
