Bobby Chandler: Authentic Church | Bobby Chandler - Sunday is Coming (Part 1) | July 10, 2025

And now he has given us an assignment.
00:00:00.995 --> 00:00:03.531
And that assignment is to spread the gospel all over the world.
00:00:03.531 --> 00:00:08.069
So today, we get to celebrate jesus.
00:00:08.069 --> 00:00:11.372
Notice the weight of these words
00:00:11.372 --> 00:00:13.340
As they're about to be thrown into the fire.
00:00:13.340 --> 00:00:15.476
Even if god doesn't show up the way we want him to.
00:00:15.476 --> 00:00:18.646
Let me make it clear to you, your majesty.
00:00:18.646 --> 00:00:21.215
We will never serve your gods
00:00:21.215 --> 00:00:23.217
Or worship to the gold statue that you have set up.
00:00:23.217 --> 00:00:27.421
I will not bow down to an earthly king.
00:00:27.421 --> 00:00:30.691
I only bow down to the king of all kings.
00:00:30.691 --> 00:00:33.828
Here's my question.
00:00:33.828 --> 00:00:35.896
How far would you go to prove your love for someone
00:00:35.896 --> 00:00:39.800
Right now in a relationship?
00:00:40.401 --> 00:00:41.602
How far would you go to prove your love for somebody
00:00:41.602 --> 00:00:44.638
Or friend or family member?
00:00:44.638 --> 00:00:46.340
Let me ask you this question.
00:00:46.340 --> 00:00:47.541
Would you be willing to be mocked?
00:00:47.541 --> 00:00:50.211
Would you be willing to be spit on?
00:00:51.011 --> 00:00:54.014
Would you be willing to be damaged and hurt and in pain?
00:00:54.014 --> 00:00:57.485
And maybe you're saying, pastor,
00:00:57.485 --> 00:00:58.786
That's a ridiculous question because
00:00:58.786 --> 00:01:00.621
I would never love somebody that would do that to me.
00:01:00.621 --> 00:01:03.257
Exactly.
00:01:03.257 --> 00:01:05.626
Yet jesus did that for us.
00:01:05.626 --> 00:01:08.696
And here's what i'm starting to get.
00:01:08.696 --> 00:01:10.231
It's like no matter how much i study,
00:01:10.231 --> 00:01:12.533
How how deep i dive into the word of god,
00:01:12.533 --> 00:01:15.669
I realize that i cannot fathom truly what he's done for me.
00:01:15.669 --> 00:01:19.607
I don't think we'll fully understand
00:01:20.374 --> 00:01:21.909
Until we're in the kingdom of god.
00:01:21.909 --> 00:01:23.911
How much he truly suffered so that he could be redeemed
00:01:23.911 --> 00:01:27.681
And restored and set free
00:01:27.681 --> 00:01:29.316
From the sin and bondage that was in our life.
00:01:29.316 --> 00:01:33.053
And so i'm gonna try my best.
00:01:33.687 --> 00:01:35.089
And here's what i want to show you first.
00:01:35.923 --> 00:01:37.491
Here's the first thing.
00:01:37.491 --> 00:01:38.692
He suffered pain.
00:01:38.692 --> 00:01:39.860
You can't even begin to imagine.
00:01:39.860 --> 00:01:43.063
We talked about this last week.
00:01:43.063 --> 00:01:44.532
I want to read a few more verses out of isaiah chapter 53.
00:01:44.532 --> 00:01:48.068
But listen to this wording here.
00:01:48.068 --> 00:01:50.337
Isaiah 53, verses 3 to 6.
00:01:50.337 --> 00:01:52.506
He was despised and rejected.
00:01:52.506 --> 00:01:56.177
Listen to the wording.
00:01:56.644 --> 00:01:57.778
He was a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief.
00:01:57.778 --> 00:02:01.415
Why? because his own people spit on him and mocked
00:02:01.415 --> 00:02:05.553
Him, slapped him in the face.
00:02:05.553 --> 00:02:07.254
He got no sleep
00:02:07.254 --> 00:02:08.289
And he was beaten where most men would have died.
00:02:08.289 --> 00:02:12.326
Now listen to the wording here.
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:13.928
We turn our backs on him.
00:02:13.928 --> 00:02:16.730
We look the other way.
00:02:16.730 --> 00:02:19.099
And it's very easy to see this text
00:02:19.099 --> 00:02:20.801
And to know that it was fulfilled.
00:02:20.801 --> 00:02:22.703
But the jewish people around jesus.
00:02:22.703 --> 00:02:24.572
But listen, we've done the same thing to god.
00:02:24.572 --> 00:02:26.874
How many times have you turned your back on god
00:02:27.775 --> 00:02:29.910
Because you didn't want to listen
00:02:29.910 --> 00:02:31.078
To what he's telling you to do,
00:02:31.078 --> 00:02:32.980
Because you thought that your way was better?
00:02:32.980 --> 00:02:34.848
We turned our backs on him and looked the other way.
00:02:34.848 --> 00:02:38.619
He was despised
00:02:38.986 --> 00:02:41.555
And we did not care.
00:02:41.555 --> 00:02:44.825
And yet it was our weakness.
00:02:44.825 --> 00:02:46.260
He carried.
00:02:46.260 --> 00:02:48.696
It was our sorrows that weighed him down.
00:02:48.696 --> 00:02:51.332
I don't miss that verse.
00:02:51.332 --> 00:02:54.768
It's our pain, our grief, our depression or anxiety, our fear.
00:02:54.768 --> 00:02:59.306
He held it upon himself.
00:02:59.306 --> 00:03:02.176
He took it upon himself so that we could be free
00:03:02.176 --> 00:03:05.212
Of these things.
00:03:05.212 --> 00:03:07.548
Then he states here that we thought his troubles
00:03:07.548 --> 00:03:09.583
Were a punishment from god, a punishment for his own sins.
00:03:09.583 --> 00:03:13.020
This is what the jewish people believe
00:03:13.020 --> 00:03:14.722
Because he did it overthrow the roman government.
00:03:14.722 --> 00:03:16.924
But listen, here's the truth.
00:03:16.924 --> 00:03:18.592
He was pierced for our rebellion.
00:03:18.592 --> 00:03:22.696
He was crushed for
00:03:23.130 --> 00:03:24.131
Our message, our sins, our mistakes.
00:03:24.131 --> 00:03:28.068
He was beaten so that we could be made whole.
00:03:28.068 --> 00:03:31.605
I mean, do you hear that?
00:03:32.172 --> 00:03:35.242
He was beaten so that we could be made whole.
00:03:35.242 --> 00:03:37.111
He was whipped so that we could be healed.
00:03:37.111 --> 00:03:39.580
He was wounded so that we could be healed.
00:03:39.580 --> 00:03:42.449
Don't you ever say you don't have a purpose.
00:03:42.449 --> 00:03:46.186
Listen, the world is going to come
00:03:46.920 --> 00:03:48.022
After you over and over again and tell you
00:03:48.022 --> 00:03:50.257
That you're a nobody, that you're going nowhere.
00:03:50.257 --> 00:03:52.760
Nobody loves you.
00:03:52.760 --> 00:03:53.861
Those are lies from the devil, from the pit of hell.
00:03:53.861 --> 00:03:56.997
Because my jesus proved his love for you.
00:03:56.997 --> 00:04:00.367
My jesus did something that you can't even understand.
00:04:00.367 --> 00:04:02.936
I can't even understand it.
00:04:02.936 --> 00:04:04.672
But he took it all upon the cross.
00:04:04.672 --> 00:04:07.341
And i read this at his isaiah chapter 53.
00:04:07.341 --> 00:04:11.412
And i'm trying to understand. i'm
00:04:12.146 --> 00:04:15.082
I'm asking the lord, just help me to see it more clearly.
00:04:15.082 --> 00:04:18.752
And so i started to dive deeper.
00:04:19.386 --> 00:04:20.821
And so here's some of the things
00:04:20.821 --> 00:04:22.022
I want to share with you today.
00:04:22.022 --> 00:04:23.791
First of all, he was flogged, and the flogging alone
00:04:23.791 --> 00:04:27.261
Didn't just bruise him. listen to this.
00:04:27.261 --> 00:04:29.029
It ripped off chunks of his skin.
00:04:29.029 --> 00:04:32.866
Many people, many men have died just from the flogging alone.
00:04:32.866 --> 00:04:36.770
Imagine your skin.
00:04:36.770 --> 00:04:38.272
Your flesh being torn off your body piece by piece,
00:04:38.272 --> 00:04:42.743
Peeled off of your body.
00:04:42.743 --> 00:04:44.511
That's what's happening here because of the roman government.
00:04:44.511 --> 00:04:48.082
Okay?
00:04:48.315 --> 00:04:49.249
The roman whip had multiple leather straps
00:04:49.249 --> 00:04:52.353
With sharp pieces of bone, metal and glass.
00:04:52.353 --> 00:04:56.123
Imagine that hitting your back,
00:04:56.123 --> 00:04:59.393
Your lower back, your upper back, your arms, your neck,
00:04:59.393 --> 00:05:02.529
Your head, your legs, every part of your body.
00:05:02.529 --> 00:05:05.699
And every time it would dig into your flesh and rip it out.
00:05:05.699 --> 00:05:12.206
It got so bad
00:05:12.573 --> 00:05:15.142
That, according to the medical,
00:05:15.142 --> 00:05:16.543
The journal of medical association,
00:05:16.543 --> 00:05:18.212
The flogging alone would have led to major blood loss,
00:05:18.212 --> 00:05:21.715
Shock of the body and expose of muscles,
00:05:22.549 --> 00:05:26.920
Veins and organs.
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:31.058
Many men,
00:05:31.358 --> 00:05:33.127
Many people did not survive the flogging.
00:05:33.127 --> 00:05:35.429
Yet here is jesus
00:05:35.429 --> 00:05:38.999
And you would think that would be enough.
00:05:38.999 --> 00:05:41.935
But they didn't stop there. and see.
00:05:41.935 --> 00:05:43.404
You could understand this is the father's plan.
00:05:43.404 --> 00:05:47.574
Like you see that?
00:05:48.008 --> 00:05:48.909
Like jesus allowed all this to happen.
00:05:48.909 --> 00:05:52.012
He could have called down
00:05:52.012 --> 00:05:53.247
A legion of angels to save him from this, but he chose this.
00:05:53.247 --> 00:05:55.816
This is the father's plan.
00:05:55.816 --> 00:05:57.217
And then there was a crown of thorns.
00:05:57.217 --> 00:06:01.054
Did you know that the scalp is one of the most sensitive
00:06:01.054 --> 00:06:03.524
And vascular parts of the body, and the thorn is
00:06:03.524 --> 00:06:06.560
To believe to be around 1 to 2in long?
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:09.596
And so what they did, they took this.
00:06:10.397 --> 00:06:12.166
They made fun of him, and they said, here is your crown,
00:06:12.166 --> 00:06:15.402
Since you are the king of kings, lord of lords.
00:06:15.402 --> 00:06:17.604
And they shoved it upon his scalp.
00:06:17.604 --> 00:06:21.041
And these thorns right here
00:06:21.642 --> 00:06:25.012
Were forced and jabbed into his head, into his skull,
00:06:25.012 --> 00:06:29.383
And immediately it ruptured blood vessels,
00:06:30.250 --> 00:06:33.320
And blood was dripping down all over his face.
00:06:33.320 --> 00:06:36.423
And you would think that would be enough.
00:06:36.423 --> 00:06:38.091
But the roman guards, because they were mocking him,
00:06:38.091 --> 00:06:41.328
They also took a stick,
00:06:41.328 --> 00:06:42.563
And they started to beat him on the head
00:06:42.563 --> 00:06:45.766
As they beat him on the head.
00:06:45.766 --> 00:06:47.367
This was jabbed even deeper into his skull, into his face,
00:06:47.367 --> 00:06:52.239
Into his eyes, until his.
00:06:52.239 --> 00:06:55.676
Whole demeanor was hardly
00:06:56.243 --> 00:06:59.346
Recognizable as a human being.
00:06:59.346 --> 00:07:02.549
Remember, isaiah said he would be beaten
00:07:02.549 --> 00:07:04.318
So bad that people would barely know he was human.
00:07:04.318 --> 00:07:07.821
His face would become so disfigured.
00:07:07.821 --> 00:07:09.890
Yet i'm going to tell you this again.
00:07:09.890 --> 00:07:11.692
This was god's plan.
00:07:11.692 --> 00:07:15.295
To prove his love to you.
00:07:15.863 --> 00:07:18.832
And so again, you would think that would be enough.
00:07:18.832 --> 00:07:20.534
But then there's the wooden cross.
00:07:20.534 --> 00:07:21.969
That's part of god's plan.
00:07:21.969 --> 00:07:23.337
And it weighed anywhere from 75 to 125 pounds.
00:07:23.337 --> 00:07:27.574
And he carried it even though his body was in shock.
00:07:28.609 --> 00:07:31.411
And he carried it 650 yards, 650 yards.
00:07:31.411 --> 00:07:37.384
It's almost six football fields.
00:07:37.384 --> 00:07:39.920
He had to carry this.
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:40.821
No other man could do this.
00:07:40.821 --> 00:07:44.291
And we talked about it last week.
00:07:44.992 --> 00:07:47.027
We talked about the empires that daniel saw.
00:07:47.027 --> 00:07:50.497
And the empire of rome was one of the harshest yet
00:07:50.497 --> 00:07:54.101
Again, god chose that time period
00:07:54.101 --> 00:07:57.437
For his son to come and to die for our sins.
00:07:57.437 --> 00:07:59.773
And so what they did,
00:07:59.773 --> 00:08:01.074
They nailed him to the cross through his wrist and his feet.
00:08:01.074 --> 00:08:04.811
And i started to think about this.
00:08:04.811 --> 00:08:06.079
I want you to kind of picture in your head how they
00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:08.248
They nailed his feet to the cross,
00:08:08.248 --> 00:08:10.551
His wrists to the cross.
00:08:10.551 --> 00:08:11.919
And so in order to do this,
00:08:11.919 --> 00:08:13.387
They have to stretch out his arms.
00:08:13.387 --> 00:08:15.455
And that's this means that they dislocated
00:08:15.455 --> 00:08:17.791
Both of his shoulders.
00:08:17.791 --> 00:08:19.693
So stretched out his arms.
00:08:20.260 --> 00:08:21.795
And so in order for him to breathe
00:08:21.795 --> 00:08:23.664
Upon the cross,
00:08:23.664 --> 00:08:24.598
This also means that he would have to
00:08:24.598 --> 00:08:26.233
Lift himself up just to take a breath.
00:08:26.233 --> 00:08:29.970
Can you imagine?
00:08:29.970 --> 00:08:33.073
And his feet are nailed to the cross, so he's literally
00:08:33.073 --> 00:08:35.242
Pushing against his feet that are nailed to the cross.
00:08:35.242 --> 00:08:38.345
His back.
00:08:38.345 --> 00:08:39.513
All flesh has been torn off his back.
00:08:39.513 --> 00:08:41.448
He's rubbing his back up against his wooden cross.
00:08:41.448 --> 00:08:44.551
Everything hurts.
00:08:44.551 --> 00:08:47.788
And then i think about the disciples.
00:08:48.522 --> 00:08:51.325
Peter said, i'll never leave you.
00:08:51.325 --> 00:08:54.962
And yet he denied jesus three times.
00:08:54.962 --> 00:08:58.365
And i believe all of us know that pain.
00:08:58.365 --> 00:08:59.933
We all know that pain of somebody
00:08:59.933 --> 00:09:01.134
That said they would never leave us.
00:09:01.134 --> 00:09:03.770
Somebody that said that they would never betray
00:09:03.770 --> 00:09:05.539
Us, never hurt us. and here's jesus.
00:09:05.539 --> 00:09:07.741
And i'm thinking like, this is the time.
00:09:07.741 --> 00:09:09.343
Everybody should be there. but they're scared.
00:09:09.343 --> 00:09:14.381
And they run away.
00:09:14.815 --> 00:09:15.749
And the only one at the cross is john.
00:09:15.749 --> 00:09:19.519
And a few of the women that follow jesus.
00:09:20.354 --> 00:09:22.489
And there's his mother.
00:09:22.489 --> 00:09:25.692
And they're mocking him.
00:09:26.226 --> 00:09:29.596
If you really are
00:09:29.596 --> 00:09:30.664
The son of god, then bring yourself down.
00:09:30.664 --> 00:09:33.767
Imagine how tempting
00:09:33.767 --> 00:09:37.070
That was to hear.
00:09:37.070 --> 00:09:40.273
He could bring himself down.
00:09:40.273 --> 00:09:42.142
He could show everybody.
00:09:42.142 --> 00:09:43.977
But he knew that this was the father's will.
00:09:43.977 --> 00:09:46.580
This was the way to prove his love.
00:09:46.580 --> 00:09:49.049
So he opens his mouth.
00:09:49.049 --> 00:09:50.684
What is jesus going to say, father?
00:09:50.684 --> 00:09:53.186
Forgive them.
00:09:53.186 --> 00:09:56.523
For they know not what they do.
00:09:57.157 --> 00:10:00.894
Imagine people here in the.
00:10:01.495 --> 00:10:06.299
I don't think
00:10:06.667 --> 00:10:07.467
We can really understand
00:10:07.467 --> 00:10:10.737
The depth of god's love.
00:10:10.737 --> 00:10:14.274
Until one day when we're in the kingdom
00:10:14.274 --> 00:10:17.177
Of heaven.
00:10:17.177 --> 00:10:18.211
But he suffered this to prove his love for you,
00:10:18.211 --> 00:10:21.381
And that you were created for his purpose.
00:10:21.381 --> 00:10:24.685
Stop doubting the purpose.
00:10:24.685 --> 00:10:27.187
Stop allowing the devil when your head.
00:10:28.055 --> 00:10:31.458
Stop allowing doubt to get the best to be.
00:10:31.458 --> 00:10:33.760
Because there's another thing.
00:10:33.760 --> 00:10:34.961
He took our place in the fire.
00:10:34.961 --> 00:10:38.231
Do you understand that?
00:10:38.231 --> 00:10:38.965
He took our judgment?
00:10:38.965 --> 00:10:40.233
Are our punishment on our sins upon himself.
00:10:40.233 --> 00:10:43.670
So that we don't have to go to hell?
00:10:43.670 --> 00:10:45.706
We can be redeemed, restored
00:10:45.706 --> 00:10:47.441
By the mighty name of jesus christ.
00:10:47.441 --> 00:10:50.711
Listen, hell was not created for us.
00:10:51.478 --> 00:10:53.213
It was created for satan and his demons.
00:10:53.213 --> 00:10:55.082
But the moment we sin, we separate ourselves from god.
00:10:55.082 --> 00:10:59.052
Jesus stepped into the fire for us.
00:10:59.820 --> 00:11:02.956
Second corinthians chapter five, verse 21 states
00:11:02.956 --> 00:11:05.225
It like this christ had no sin,
00:11:05.225 --> 00:11:08.562
But god made him become sin,
00:11:08.562 --> 00:11:10.197
So that in christ we could be made right with god.
00:11:10.197 --> 00:11:13.433
Let me say it like this.
00:11:13.433 --> 00:11:14.601
He became what we were so that we could become more like him.
00:11:14.601 --> 00:11:21.074
Every mistake,
00:11:21.408 --> 00:11:23.977
Every lie,
00:11:23.977 --> 00:11:26.046
Everything that we've done wrong.
00:11:26.046 --> 00:11:27.314
He took it upon himself, that judgment.
00:11:27.314 --> 00:11:29.783
But then this week, i'm studying and i'm asking the lord.
00:11:29.783 --> 00:11:33.487
Okay, what do you want me to preach?
00:11:33.487 --> 00:11:34.554
What do you want me to say?
00:11:34.554 --> 00:11:35.722
And there's just one story. i did the gospel story.
00:11:35.722 --> 00:11:37.958
I did the resurrection story
00:11:37.958 --> 00:11:39.292
That i couldn't get out of my head.
00:11:39.292 --> 00:11:42.596
And it's this powerful prayer of jesus.
00:11:42.596 --> 00:11:45.899
And it's in luke chapter 22.
00:11:45.899 --> 00:11:48.869
And you got to send this is this is a thursday night.
00:11:48.869 --> 00:11:51.037
This is after the lord's supper, last supper.
00:11:51.037 --> 00:11:54.808
Judas, according to the scripture,
00:11:55.542 --> 00:11:57.177
Has already been possessed by satan.
00:11:57.177 --> 00:11:58.979
He went to go get the roman guards.
00:11:58.979 --> 00:12:00.514
Jesus knows he's just hours away
00:12:00.514 --> 00:12:03.683
From this happening.
00:12:04.151 --> 00:12:05.986
And so he takes his disciples to the mount of olives
00:12:05.986 --> 00:12:08.655
Into the garden of gethsemane, as they usually went.
00:12:08.655 --> 00:12:11.591
And so he went there to pray.
00:12:11.591 --> 00:12:12.859
There they're singing a hymn.
00:12:12.859 --> 00:12:14.594
They're praising the lord.
00:12:14.594 --> 00:12:15.495
Yet jesus knows what's about to come.
00:12:15.495 --> 00:12:17.631
And so he states this to them.
00:12:17.631 --> 00:12:20.033
Luke 2239 to 44 then jesus, accompanied by his disciples,
00:12:20.033 --> 00:12:24.638
Jesus, left the upstairs room
00:12:24.638 --> 00:12:26.239
And went as usual to the mount of olives.
00:12:26.239 --> 00:12:28.141
And he told them, pray that you will not give into temptation.
00:12:28.141 --> 00:12:33.280
And if you know the story,
00:12:33.847 --> 00:12:34.948
You know that the disciples were extremely tired.
00:12:34.948 --> 00:12:37.617
They kept falling asleep.
00:12:37.617 --> 00:12:40.654
How many times do we do that?
00:12:40.654 --> 00:12:42.689
Notice the wording here jesus is saying, listen,
00:12:42.689 --> 00:12:44.958
Temptation is coming your way.
00:12:44.958 --> 00:12:46.426
They had no clue what was coming.
00:12:46.426 --> 00:12:49.563
They did not know the battles they were about to face.
00:12:49.563 --> 00:12:52.399
And jesus did.
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:53.333
He says, you better pray.
00:12:53.333 --> 00:12:56.436
So many times we sleep on god
00:12:57.070 --> 00:13:00.207
Instead of praying in his presence.
00:13:00.974 --> 00:13:03.877
This is why we keep losing battles.
00:13:03.877 --> 00:13:06.313
It's why we keep giving into temptation.
00:13:06.313 --> 00:13:08.315
You have been set free.
00:13:08.315 --> 00:13:11.518
You realize
00:13:11.518 --> 00:13:13.720
Why would you go back?
00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:16.523
The bible describes sin
00:13:16.523 --> 00:13:19.025
As vomit, like a dog going back to its vomit to eat it.
00:13:19.025 --> 00:13:22.395
That's what the lord sees in our life.
00:13:22.395 --> 00:13:25.131
You've been set free.
00:13:25.632 --> 00:13:28.635
That are you pray.
00:13:28.635 --> 00:13:31.538
Are you praying to overcome the temptation in your life?
00:13:31.538 --> 00:13:33.907
And then we see this.
00:13:33.907 --> 00:13:35.742
He walked away about a stone's throw,
00:13:35.742 --> 00:13:38.445
And he knelt down and he prayed.
00:13:38.445 --> 00:13:40.080
Now this is the prayer
00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:42.015
That i just kept thinking of what the lord showed me.
00:13:42.015 --> 00:13:44.150
He said, father, if you are willing,
00:13:44.150 --> 00:13:46.586
Please take this cup of suffering away
00:13:46.586 --> 00:13:49.556
From.
00:13:49.556 --> 00:13:54.160
It's a very raw moment.
00:13:54.661 --> 00:13:57.797
Jesus christ, the son of god.
00:13:57.797 --> 00:13:59.366
Father, if you're willing,
00:13:59.366 --> 00:14:01.701
Please take this cup of suffering away from me.
00:14:01.701 --> 00:14:04.104
But listen to the wording here.
00:14:04.104 --> 00:14:05.338
Yet i want your will to be done, not my.
00:14:05.338 --> 00:14:10.744
And then after that, it states that an angel
00:14:11.645 --> 00:14:13.380
From heaven appeared and strengthened him,
00:14:13.380 --> 00:14:16.650
And he prayed more fervently.
00:14:16.650 --> 00:14:19.052
But listen to this.
00:14:19.052 --> 00:14:19.886
He was in such agony of the spirit
00:14:19.886 --> 00:14:21.721
That his sweat fell to the ground
00:14:21.721 --> 00:14:23.523
Like great drops of blood.
00:14:23.523 --> 00:14:25.759
But as i read this story, i can't help
00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:27.560
But ask the question, why did he prayed this prayer?
00:14:27.560 --> 00:14:32.399
Why did
00:14:32.632 --> 00:14:33.566
He say, father, if there's any other way,
00:14:33.566 --> 00:14:34.901
Take this cup of suffering away from me. here's why.
00:14:34.901 --> 00:14:37.537
Because he knew the weight of the sin of the world
00:14:37.537 --> 00:14:40.373
Was going to come upon him completely.
00:14:40.373 --> 00:14:42.976
Here's what i believe.
00:14:42.976 --> 00:14:43.977
I believe jesus was not afraid of death.
00:14:43.977 --> 00:14:47.113
I believe jesus was not afraid of physical pain, but he knew
00:14:47.113 --> 00:14:51.151
The weight of all sin would come upon him,
00:14:51.151 --> 00:14:55.488
Or sin.
00:14:55.488 --> 00:14:58.658
First peter chapter two, verse 24.
00:14:59.426 --> 00:15:02.796
He personally carried our sins
00:15:03.396 --> 00:15:05.198
In his body.
00:15:05.198 --> 00:15:11.404
Our sins
00:15:11.671 --> 00:15:13.707
In his body
00:15:13.707 --> 00:15:15.742
On the cross,
00:15:15.742 --> 00:15:17.644
So that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right.
00:15:17.644 --> 00:15:21.548
We don't have to live in bondage
00:15:21.548 --> 00:15:23.516
To our sin anymore, because he took it.
00:15:23.516 --> 00:15:27.220
And again, we see this confirmation
00:15:27.220 --> 00:15:28.888
By his wounds you are healed.
00:15:28.888 --> 00:15:31.958
You have been made new.
00:15:31.958 --> 00:15:35.628
And so i want you to see this because again,
00:15:36.529 --> 00:15:38.131
Why would he ask such a question?
00:15:38.131 --> 00:15:39.933
Here's what jesus is revealing to us.
00:15:39.933 --> 00:15:42.035
Jesus is fully god,
00:15:42.035 --> 00:15:44.804
Okay? jesus is the son of god.
00:15:44.804 --> 00:15:46.673
He is fully god. but what he's doing.
00:15:46.673 --> 00:15:48.675
He's humbling himself
00:15:48.675 --> 00:15:51.811
To feel what humanity feels.
00:15:51.811 --> 00:15:55.648
That's why he's praying this prayer.
00:15:56.416 --> 00:15:58.518
He's allowing us to see that he understands
00:15:58.518 --> 00:16:02.589
The pain, the fear, the trials that we go through.
00:16:02.589 --> 00:16:06.526
He even understands the temptations that we face.
00:16:06.526 --> 00:16:10.397
And as a pastor, this is so important
00:16:11.197 --> 00:16:12.732
Because i have so many people
00:16:12.732 --> 00:16:13.767
That come up to me and say, pastor,
00:16:13.767 --> 00:16:15.435
I just feel like god is distant from me.
00:16:15.435 --> 00:16:17.404
I feel like he's not listening.
00:16:17.404 --> 00:16:18.938
I feel like he's not in my life. no, he is.
00:16:18.938 --> 00:16:22.442
But what are you chasing?
00:16:23.009 --> 00:16:26.446
Are you chasing the wrong things?
00:16:26.446 --> 00:16:28.081
Trying to close the door on god over and over and over again.
00:16:28.081 --> 00:16:32.752
Because first peter chapter two, verse 24
00:16:33.653 --> 00:16:36.623
Not only stated that he carried our sins,
00:16:36.623 --> 00:16:38.425
But in hebrews chapter four, verse 15
00:16:38.425 --> 00:16:40.326
It states that the high priest of ours,
00:16:40.326 --> 00:16:42.095
He understands are weaknesses.
00:16:42.095 --> 00:16:46.399
Why? for he faced them.
00:16:46.900 --> 00:16:49.803
He faced all the same testings, or the same trials,
00:16:49.803 --> 00:16:52.138
Or the same temptations as we do.
00:16:52.138 --> 00:16:54.274
Yet he did not sin.
00:16:54.274 --> 00:16:56.142
This is powerful,
00:16:56.142 --> 00:16:58.411
Because this means when you come to the altar
00:16:58.411 --> 00:17:00.980
And you're saying, god, it's hard.
00:17:00.980 --> 00:17:02.782
I don't know how to keep going.
00:17:02.782 --> 00:17:04.217
Jesus shows up and says, i understand.
00:17:04.217 --> 00:17:08.221
He's not just some distant god that doesn't understand
00:17:08.221 --> 00:17:10.356
What you're feeling when you're praying to the lord god.
00:17:10.356 --> 00:17:13.159
My heart is broken.
00:17:13.159 --> 00:17:14.594
And these people that i trusted abandoned me and they left me.
00:17:15.762 --> 00:17:18.665
Jesus shows up and says, i understand,
00:17:18.665 --> 00:17:22.602
But god, i feel alone and i don't know where to go in life.
00:17:22.602 --> 00:17:25.572
I understand.
00:17:25.572 --> 00:17:28.942
But he showed us
00:17:28.942 --> 00:17:31.144
There is a better way.
00:17:31.144 --> 00:17:33.413
He showed us that no matter how hard life
00:17:33.413 --> 00:17:35.915
Gets, there is still hope
00:17:35.915 --> 00:17:39.018
In the truth.
00:17:39.385 --> 00:17:41.688
But i'm telling you right now,
00:17:41.688 --> 00:17:43.523
Ask god to strengthen your faith
00:17:43.523 --> 00:17:46.893
And rebuke those demons out of your life
00:17:46.893 --> 00:17:50.430
And believe in what jesus has done for you.
00:17:50.430 --> 00:17:53.500
And then i see verse 44 at the very end,
00:17:54.367 --> 00:17:57.704
It stated this, that he was in such agony
00:17:57.704 --> 00:17:59.672
Of the spirit that his sweat fell
00:17:59.672 --> 00:18:02.709
To the ground like great drops of blood.
00:18:02.709 --> 00:18:06.146
Here's what i've realized about jesus.
00:18:06.146 --> 00:18:08.148
Jesus wore your wounds before you even knew you had them.
00:18:08.148 --> 00:18:12.519
You understand this.
00:18:12.986 --> 00:18:14.721
He wore your hardships and your wounds before
00:18:14.721 --> 00:18:16.956
You even knew you had them.
00:18:16.956 --> 00:18:18.424
And what luke is allowing us to see here
00:18:18.424 --> 00:18:20.326
Is something rare and disturbing.
00:18:20.326 --> 00:18:22.829
Because under extreme stress, the tiny blood vessels
00:18:22.829 --> 00:18:26.466
Start to burst.
00:18:26.466 --> 00:18:27.800
Sweating, sweat and blood starts to mix and they started
00:18:27.800 --> 00:18:31.104
To pour out.
00:18:31.104 --> 00:18:34.741
Upon the ground.
00:18:35.141 --> 00:18:37.911
And i started to think he was sweating blood
00:18:37.911 --> 00:18:40.313
Before he shed his blood.
00:18:40.313 --> 00:18:43.516
He is the perfect lamb of god
00:18:44.150 --> 00:18:47.754
Waiting to go to the slaughter house.
00:18:47.754 --> 00:18:51.891
To prove to you
00:18:52.258 --> 00:18:53.193
There's a reason you were created.
00:18:53.193 --> 00:18:57.030
To prove to you that you are not a mistake.
00:18:57.030 --> 00:19:00.733
And that god loves you more than you can even understand.
00:19:00.733 --> 00:19:03.736
Here's what i realized
00:19:03.736 --> 00:19:05.972
Is the only way i can fathom it.
00:19:05.972 --> 00:19:07.740
Think of it is that jesus unders
00:19:07.740 --> 00:19:12.979
He understood the weight of it.
00:19:13.613 --> 00:19:15.381
He felt every ounce.
00:19:15.381 --> 00:19:18.484
He took our sin.
00:19:18.885 --> 00:19:21.588
Completely.
00:19:21.588 --> 00:19:24.390
And so,
00:19:24.390 --> 00:19:25.792
As i was writing this sermon,
00:19:25.792 --> 00:19:28.461
In this point of it, i started to think,
00:19:28.461 --> 00:19:31.864
How many times have you asked
00:19:31.864 --> 00:19:33.199
God to take away the suffering in your life?
00:19:33.199 --> 00:19:37.203
Right.
00:19:37.403 --> 00:19:38.738
Have you ever prayed out loud,
00:19:38.738 --> 00:19:39.806
God, will you just take away the suffering
00:19:39.806 --> 00:19:41.407
Like i'm tired of the stress?
00:19:41.407 --> 00:19:43.643
I'm tired of these battles.
00:19:43.643 --> 00:19:45.278
I'm sick and tired of every day
00:19:45.278 --> 00:19:46.946
Getting up and fighting another battle.
00:19:46.946 --> 00:19:48.681
God, i'm
00:19:48.681 --> 00:19:49.816
Tired of this depression that's coming up against me.
00:19:49.816 --> 00:19:51.551
I'm tired of what's happening in my family.
00:19:51.551 --> 00:19:53.586
God, i'm tired of this diagnosis.
00:19:53.586 --> 00:19:57.323
I'm tired of this sickness that is in my life.
00:19:57.323 --> 00:20:00.593
And so a lot of times, here's what we say out
00:20:00.593 --> 00:20:02.395
Loud as human beings, we say, god,
00:20:02.395 --> 00:20:04.197
If you just change my situation, they don't know you're good.
00:20:04.197 --> 00:20:10.036
Let me preach a revelation today.
00:20:10.737 --> 00:20:13.640
God can.
00:20:13.640 --> 00:20:15.475
But even if he doesn't, he's still good.
00:20:15.475 --> 00:20:18.978
He's still god.
00:20:19.345 --> 00:20:21.314
He's still in control of all things.
00:20:21.314 --> 00:20:24.083
And so a lot of times we state, god,
00:20:24.083 --> 00:20:25.918
If you're good, you're just changing.
00:20:25.918 --> 00:20:27.620
Yet here we see jesus christ himself saying,
00:20:27.620 --> 00:20:30.890
Let your will be done, father,
00:20:30.890 --> 00:20:34.694
That you will be done, even though it may
00:20:34.694 --> 00:20:36.829
Bring some suffering and hurt and pain.
00:20:36.829 --> 00:20:40.099
Let your perfect will be done.
00:20:40.099 --> 00:20:44.871
This ministry has bless you or helped build your faith.
00:20:44.871 --> 00:20:48.308
I'm going to ask you right now to consider partnering with us.
00:20:48.308 --> 00:20:51.778
And if you want to become a partner,
00:20:51.778 --> 00:20:53.446
All you have to do is give to bobby chandler dawg.
00:20:53.446 --> 00:20:56.316
And it helps our ministry reach people all over the world
00:20:56.316 --> 00:20:59.385
For the kingdom of god.
00:20:59.385 --> 00:21:00.887
See, it's not just a donation, but it's actually a declaration
00:21:00.887 --> 00:21:04.223
That god comes first in your life,
00:21:04.223 --> 00:21:06.859
That he is number one and that he is in control.
00:21:06.859 --> 00:21:09.862
And every giving that comes into this ministry
00:21:09.862 --> 00:21:12.598
Helps us broadcast the good news of the gospel of jesus christ
00:21:12.598 --> 00:21:16.336
All over the world, reaching homes,
00:21:16.336 --> 00:21:18.137
Even in different countries.
00:21:18.137 --> 00:21:19.806
And also it helps us reach people here in our community.
00:21:19.806 --> 00:21:22.775
Help people who are in need
00:21:22.775 --> 00:21:24.677
And who need to know the love of god and something
00:21:24.677 --> 00:21:28.014
That we're unashamed about here in this ministry.
00:21:28.014 --> 00:21:30.416
It's preaching the truth of god's word.
00:21:30.416 --> 00:21:33.319
So every time you give, it allows us to preach the truth
00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:36.923
Unashamed, allowing people to see freedom,
00:21:36.923 --> 00:21:40.993
Chains falling off from generational curses
00:21:40.993 --> 00:21:43.863
Because of the spirit of god, because of where
00:21:43.863 --> 00:21:46.366
The spirit of the lord is, there is freedom.
00:21:46.366 --> 00:21:50.703
And when you give, it helps us reach our mission
00:21:50.703 --> 00:21:53.573
To have people encounter god, to grow in christ
00:21:53.573 --> 00:21:57.643
And be set free by jesus christ.
00:21:57.643 --> 00:22:01.280
And so again, i want to thank you
00:22:01.280 --> 00:22:03.182
And ask you to pray about it.
00:22:03.182 --> 00:22:05.051
Do you want to become a partner
00:22:05.051 --> 00:22:06.886
And help us reach more people for jesus?
00:22:06.886 --> 00:22:10.323
Again, i pray that today's message bless your life.
00:22:10.323 --> 00:22:13.259
I'm so thankful that you watched it with this,
00:22:13.259 --> 00:22:15.895
And i can't wait to see you again very soon.
00:22:15.895 --> 00:22:18.798
This job doesn't work out for me.
00:22:19.532 --> 00:22:21.701
What if i move my life by faith and it all just
00:22:21.701 --> 00:22:25.605
Crumbles to the ground? what if it works?
00:22:25.605 --> 00:22:28.341
What if god shows up and changes your life forever?
00:22:28.341 --> 00:22:31.277
But i would rather move by faith
00:22:31.277 --> 00:22:33.079
And even fail and fail and fail and know that i follow god.
00:22:33.079 --> 00:22:36.949
And i ended up exactly where i needed to be. so.
00:22:36.949 --> 00:23:09.549
You know what today is
00:23:10.016 --> 00:23:12.051
Pentecost sunday.
00:23:12.051 --> 00:23:15.221
Pentecost sunday.
00:23:15.655 --> 00:23:18.858
Woo! you better
00:23:19.225 --> 00:23:21.260
Not ask the holy ghost preacher to preach on pentecost sunday.
00:23:21.260 --> 00:23:24.831
I came here to remind you you need
00:23:25.598 --> 00:23:28.801
The holy spirit.
00:23:28.801 --> 00:23:51.123
To. do any.
00:23:51.457 --> 00:23:51.457
