Spiritual warfare. when jesus christ,
00:00:18.679 --> 00:00:19.980
When jesus christ, the son of god,
00:00:20.047 --> 00:00:21.282
The son of god, came to bethlehem's manger,
00:00:21.348 --> 00:00:23.551

Jesus and christmas is more than about toys and tinsel
00:00:39.100 --> 00:00:43.070
Than about toys and tinsel and trees.
00:00:43.137 --> 00:00:44.205
And trees. it's about the victory of

It's about the victory of jesus christ over the world,
00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:49.110
Jesus christ over the world, the flesh, and the devil.
00:00:49.176 --> 00:00:52.146
The flesh, and the devil. (applause)

In the beginning was the word. and the word became flesh

And the word became flesh and dwelt among us.
00:01:07.495 --> 00:01:09.330

Good teachers don't claim to be god.
00:03:00.040 --> 00:03:01.709
To be god. jesus was lord.
00:03:01.775 --> 00:03:03.744
Jesus was lord. he is savior.
00:03:03.811 --> 00:03:05.546
He is savior. if he's not savior,
00:03:05.613 --> 00:03:06.714
If he's not savior, he's a charlatan.
00:03:06.780 --> 00:03:09.450
He's a charlatan. he's not a good man.
00:03:09.516 --> 00:03:11.385
He's not a good man. he's either the son of

He's either the son of the living god as he said
00:03:12.620 --> 00:03:15.389
The living god as he said or the greatest fraud who ever

Some say jesus was merely a good example.
00:03:21.095 --> 00:03:22.529
A good example. but good examples don't get
00:03:22.596 --> 00:03:23.998
But good examples don't get executed by the government
00:03:24.064 --> 00:03:25.833
Executed by the government as an insurrectionist
00:03:25.899 --> 00:03:27.134

But fanatics do not attract men of intellect like st. luke
00:03:33.841 --> 00:03:36.410
Men of intellect like st. luke or the apostle paul,
00:03:36.477 --> 00:03:37.945
Or the apostle paul, who was the greatest
00:03:38.012 --> 00:03:38.846
Who was the greatest theologian of his day.

His mouth, "who are you, lord?
00:03:46.186 --> 00:03:48.489
"who are you, lord? and what will you have me do?"
00:03:48.555 --> 00:03:50.858
And what will you have me do?" let me tell you something.
00:03:50.924 --> 00:03:52.293
Let me tell you something. you're not really living as

You're not really living as a christian until you have
00:03:53.694 --> 00:03:55.496
A christian until you have that experience.
00:03:55.562 --> 00:03:57.031
That experience. what does god want for you
00:03:57.097 --> 00:03:58.999
What does god want for you to do?
00:03:59.066 --> 00:03:59.933
To do? for your life to be a thing of
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:02.136
For your life to be a thing of joy and victory while you walk

Phony. but phonies don't rise from

But phonies don't rise from the dead on the third day
00:04:11.111 --> 00:04:13.013
The dead on the third day as jesus said he would.
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:14.882
As jesus said he would. he was seen by 533 people
00:04:14.948 --> 00:04:17.951

Because as he lives, we shall live also.
00:04:25.492 --> 00:04:27.394
We shall live also. think about that.
00:04:27.461 --> 00:04:28.629

Here is the controversy of the christmas story.
00:06:00.254 --> 00:06:02.423
The christmas story. was jesus god?
00:06:02.489 --> 00:06:04.725
Was jesus god? was he born of a virgin?
00:06:04.792 --> 00:06:06.860
Was he born of a virgin? was he conceived by
00:06:06.927 --> 00:06:07.928
Was he conceived by the holy spirit?
00:06:07.995 --> 00:06:09.797
The holy spirit? or was he a byproduct of
00:06:09.863 --> 00:06:11.265
Or was he a byproduct of fornication between two young
00:06:11.331 --> 00:06:12.766
Fornication between two young people?
00:06:12.833 --> 00:06:14.301
People? if jesus was not born of
00:06:14.368 --> 00:06:15.669
If jesus was not born of a virgin,
00:06:15.736 --> 00:06:16.270
A virgin, then jesus was not god.
00:06:16.336 --> 00:06:18.238
Then jesus was not god. if jesus was not god,
00:06:18.305 --> 00:06:19.540
If jesus was not god, all of his ti--
00:06:19.606 --> 00:06:20.541
All of his ti-- all of his teachings are
00:06:20.607 --> 00:06:22.409
All of his teachings are a fraud,
00:06:22.476 --> 00:06:23.644
A fraud, the scriptures are not sacred.
00:06:23.710 --> 00:06:25.546
The scriptures are not sacred. if jesus is not god,
00:06:25.612 --> 00:06:26.880
If jesus is not god, our faith is unfounded,
00:06:26.947 --> 00:06:28.816
Our faith is unfounded, our worship is misdirected.
00:06:28.882 --> 00:06:31.018
Our worship is misdirected. if jesus was not
00:06:31.084 --> 00:06:31.952
If jesus was not the son of god,
00:06:32.019 --> 00:06:32.853
The son of god, calvary was for nothing,
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:34.755
Calvary was for nothing, not one sin was removed
00:06:34.822 --> 00:06:36.690
Not one sin was removed by his blood because it wasn't
00:06:36.757 --> 00:06:38.926
By his blood because it wasn't lamb's blood,
00:06:38.992 --> 00:06:40.527
Lamb's blood, perfect and flawless
00:06:40.594 --> 00:06:41.595
Perfect and flawless without sin.
00:06:41.662 --> 00:06:42.963
Without sin. mary was to give birth to
00:06:43.030 --> 00:06:44.298
Mary was to give birth to god's own son.
00:06:44.364 --> 00:06:45.299
God's own son. she said,
00:06:45.365 --> 00:06:46.266
She said, "how shall this thing be
00:06:46.333 --> 00:06:47.801
"how shall this thing be seeing i know not a man?"
00:06:47.868 --> 00:06:50.671
Seeing i know not a man?" the angel explained that
00:06:50.737 --> 00:06:51.705
The angel explained that the holy spirit should hover
00:06:51.772 --> 00:06:54.141
The holy spirit should hover over her life,
00:06:54.208 --> 00:06:55.676
Over her life, the same holy spirit that
00:06:55.742 --> 00:06:56.977
The same holy spirit that hovered over the waters
00:06:57.044 --> 00:06:59.246
Hovered over the waters in genesis 1.
00:06:59.313 --> 00:07:00.814
In genesis 1. "that creative power that
00:07:00.881 --> 00:07:02.749

00:07:02.816 --> 00:07:03.951
Brought the world into existence,
00:07:04.017 --> 00:07:04.952
Existence, the power of the highest
00:07:05.018 --> 00:07:06.587
The power of the highest is going to overshadow you,

Therefore that holy thing." listen to that.
00:07:10.691 --> 00:07:11.758
Listen to that. "therefore that holy thing
00:07:11.825 --> 00:07:13.727
"therefore that holy thing which shall be born of thee
00:07:13.794 --> 00:07:15.529
Which shall be born of thee shall be called
00:07:15.596 --> 00:07:16.497
Shall be called the son of god."

Thy word." "for nothing shall be
00:07:27.841 --> 00:07:29.510
"for nothing shall be impossible with god."
00:07:29.576 --> 00:07:31.645
Impossible with god." wow!
00:07:31.712 --> 00:07:35.015
Wow! that's the christmas message

00:11:27.681 --> 00:11:28.248
Looking for. he's looking for
00:11:28.315 --> 00:11:29.149
He's looking for an eye-witness account.
00:11:29.216 --> 00:11:31.685
An eye-witness account. luke and matthew are both
00:11:31.752 --> 00:11:32.719
Luke and matthew are both accredited eye-witnesses.
00:11:32.786 --> 00:11:34.287
Accredited eye-witnesses. both participated
00:11:34.354 --> 00:11:35.388
Both participated in the events of time.
00:11:35.455 --> 00:11:36.656
In the events of time. there's every evidence that
00:11:36.723 --> 00:11:38.058
There's every evidence that intelligence could demand.
00:11:38.125 --> 00:11:40.494
Intelligence could demand. it's interesting to me
00:11:40.560 --> 00:11:41.595
It's interesting to me how pseudo-intellectuals
00:11:41.661 --> 00:11:43.363
How pseudo-intellectuals who were born
00:11:43.430 --> 00:11:43.930
Who were born in the 20th century
00:11:43.997 --> 00:11:45.198
In the 20th century know more about the virgin
00:11:45.265 --> 00:11:46.299
Know more about the virgin birth of jesus than matthew,
00:11:46.366 --> 00:11:48.668
Birth of jesus than matthew, mark, luke, and john
00:11:48.735 --> 00:11:49.770
Mark, luke, and john who were there.
00:11:49.836 --> 00:11:50.971
Who were there. it's impossible to read
00:11:51.037 --> 00:11:52.038
It's impossible to read matthew's account and luke's
00:11:52.105 --> 00:11:54.307
Matthew's account and luke's account without understanding
00:11:54.374 --> 00:11:56.610
Account without understanding that jesus was born before
00:11:56.676 --> 00:11:58.278
That jesus was born before mary and joseph were married.
00:11:58.345 --> 00:12:00.480
Mary and joseph were married. matthew speaks of joseph as
00:12:00.547 --> 00:12:02.149
Matthew speaks of joseph as a husband.
00:12:02.215 --> 00:12:03.016
A husband. and the angel refers to mary
00:12:03.083 --> 00:12:04.885
And the angel refers to mary as the wife.
00:12:04.951 --> 00:12:06.119
As the wife. this explains the hebrew law
00:12:06.186 --> 00:12:08.188
This explains the hebrew law of betrothal.
00:12:08.255 --> 00:12:09.222
Of betrothal. listen to this, young people,
00:12:09.289 --> 00:12:10.857
Listen to this, young people, betrothal.
00:12:10.924 --> 00:12:11.758
Betrothal. mary and joseph were
00:12:11.825 --> 00:12:12.926
Mary and joseph were betrothed.
00:12:12.993 --> 00:12:14.161
Betrothed. when, in the hebrew,
00:12:14.227 --> 00:12:15.629
When, in the hebrew, youth of those days wanted to
00:12:15.695 --> 00:12:17.798
Youth of those days wanted to get married,
00:12:17.864 --> 00:12:18.999
Get married, the boy's parents went to
00:12:19.065 --> 00:12:20.100
The boy's parents went to the girl's parents,
00:12:20.167 --> 00:12:21.401
The girl's parents, and they signed a contact that
00:12:21.468 --> 00:12:23.236
And they signed a contact that was binding and lasting
00:12:23.303 --> 00:12:25.372
Was binding and lasting for one year.
00:12:25.438 --> 00:12:26.907
For one year. it was a--
00:12:26.973 --> 00:12:27.741
It was a-- it was a year betrothal.
00:12:27.808 --> 00:12:29.676
It was a year betrothal. the girl lived with
00:12:29.743 --> 00:12:30.477
The girl lived with her parents.
00:12:30.544 --> 00:12:31.778
Her parents. the boy lived with
00:12:31.845 --> 00:12:32.746
The boy lived with his parents.
00:12:32.813 --> 00:12:34.347
His parents. and if they were ever
00:12:34.414 --> 00:12:35.215
And if they were ever together,
00:12:35.282 --> 00:12:35.849
Together, there was an eye-witness
00:12:35.916 --> 00:12:37.217
There was an eye-witness to what they were doing.
00:12:37.284 --> 00:12:38.885
To what they were doing. the only release from
00:12:38.952 --> 00:12:40.053
The only release from this contact was fornication.
00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:42.556
This contact was fornication. when you read matthew
00:12:42.622 --> 00:12:43.790
When you read matthew and luke,
00:12:43.857 --> 00:12:44.791
And luke, there's only one intelligent
00:12:44.858 --> 00:12:46.126
There's only one intelligent conclusion.
00:12:46.193 --> 00:12:47.460
Conclusion. mary and joseph
00:12:47.527 --> 00:12:48.328
Mary and joseph were betrothed.
00:12:48.395 --> 00:12:49.796
Were betrothed. they were eternally committed.
00:12:49.863 --> 00:12:51.765
They were eternally committed. and during that year,
00:12:51.832 --> 00:12:52.833
And during that year, jesus was born.
00:12:52.899 --> 00:12:54.367
Jesus was born. jesus was born of a virgin.
00:12:54.434 --> 00:12:56.336
Jesus was born of a virgin. we have matthew's account
00:12:56.403 --> 00:12:57.404
We have matthew's account that says, yes.
00:12:57.470 --> 00:12:58.572
That says, yes. we have luke's account
00:12:58.638 --> 00:12:59.573
We have luke's account that says, yes.
00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:00.740
That says, yes. we have mary's reaction
00:13:00.807 --> 00:13:02.309
We have mary's reaction as proof.
00:13:02.375 --> 00:13:03.243
As proof. what's mary's psychological
00:13:03.310 --> 00:13:05.111
What's mary's psychological reaction to the angel's
00:13:05.178 --> 00:13:06.947
Reaction to the angel's announcement is proof of
00:13:07.013 --> 00:13:08.682
Announcement is proof of the virgin birth.
00:13:08.748 --> 00:13:09.883
The virgin birth. the exact wording of
00:13:09.950 --> 00:13:11.284
The exact wording of the levitical law says,
00:13:11.351 --> 00:13:12.786
The levitical law says, "if a virgin is espoused to
00:13:12.853 --> 00:13:14.688
"if a virgin is espoused to a man is found with child,
00:13:14.754 --> 00:13:16.823
A man is found with child, he, the man
00:13:16.890 --> 00:13:18.124
He, the man (in this case joseph),
00:13:18.191 --> 00:13:19.392
(in this case joseph), would denounce her before
00:13:19.459 --> 00:13:20.727
Would denounce her before the council.
00:13:20.794 --> 00:13:21.895
The council. "and they would stone her
00:13:21.962 --> 00:13:23.063
"and they would stone her with stones until she dies.
00:13:23.129 --> 00:13:25.365
With stones until she dies. and thus shall you put sin
00:13:25.432 --> 00:13:27.033
And thus shall you put sin out of israel."
00:13:27.100 --> 00:13:29.502
Out of israel." ouch.
00:13:29.569 --> 00:13:33.173
Ouch. joseph would have been the one
00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:34.474
Joseph would have been the one to throw the first stone.
00:13:34.541 --> 00:13:36.509
To throw the first stone. the matter of action would
00:13:36.576 --> 00:13:37.744
The matter of action would have been levitical,
00:13:37.811 --> 00:13:39.179
Have been levitical, denounce her before
00:13:39.246 --> 00:13:40.547
Denounce her before the council.
00:13:40.614 --> 00:13:41.514
The council. the high priest performed

The high priest performed the examination.
00:13:42.949 --> 00:13:44.284
The examination. if mary was guilty of
00:13:44.351 --> 00:13:46.753
If mary was guilty of sexual conduct,
00:13:46.820 --> 00:13:48.321
Sexual conduct, the offended lover, joseph,
00:13:48.388 --> 00:13:49.789
The offended lover, joseph, would throw the first stone.
00:13:49.856 --> 00:13:51.491
Would throw the first stone. and all the community would
00:13:51.558 --> 00:13:52.859
And all the community would join in and stone her
00:13:52.926 --> 00:13:54.594
Join in and stone her until she was dead.
00:13:54.661 --> 00:13:57.464
Until she was dead. now, look at this.
00:13:57.530 --> 00:13:59.733
Now, look at this. look at mary.
00:13:59.799 --> 00:14:00.934
Look at mary. in light of her knowledge,
00:14:01.001 --> 00:14:02.636
In light of her knowledge, if she's guilty,
00:14:02.702 --> 00:14:04.571
If she's guilty, death by stoning is a horrible
00:14:04.638 --> 00:14:06.473
Death by stoning is a horrible way to die.
00:14:06.539 --> 00:14:08.008
Way to die. she knows she's expecting.
00:14:08.074 --> 00:14:10.210
She knows she's expecting. she's only betrothed.
00:14:10.277 --> 00:14:11.678
She's only betrothed. she knows the law of moses.
00:14:11.745 --> 00:14:13.580
She knows the law of moses. what would have been the

What would have been the reaction of a guilty woman?
00:14:14.414 --> 00:14:17.150
Reaction of a guilty woman? shame,
00:14:17.217 --> 00:14:18.551

Fear, secrecy,
00:14:20.153 --> 00:14:21.388
Secrecy, seclusion,

Seclusion, run,
00:14:22.856 --> 00:14:23.924
Run, hide,
00:14:23.990 --> 00:14:25.125
Hide, don't tell anybody.
00:14:25.191 --> 00:14:26.993
Don't tell anybody. what was mary's reaction?
00:14:27.060 --> 00:14:28.862
What was mary's reaction? she ran straight to elizabeth,
00:14:28.929 --> 00:14:31.865

And said, "i'm going to have a baby."

"i'm going to have a baby." who was this woman elizabeth?
00:14:36.169 --> 00:14:38.038
Who was this woman elizabeth? she was the wife of

She was the wife of the high priest.
00:14:39.072 --> 00:14:40.473
The high priest. he was the one who would
00:14:40.540 --> 00:14:41.474
He was the one who would examine her and pronounce
00:14:41.541 --> 00:14:43.376
Examine her and pronounce the death sentence
00:14:43.443 --> 00:14:44.477
The death sentence if she was guilty.
00:14:44.544 --> 00:14:46.146

The lord. and my spirit doth rejoice
00:14:51.084 --> 00:14:52.686
And my spirit doth rejoice in god, my savior."

In god, my savior." that's not the statement of
00:14:54.220 --> 00:14:55.455
That's not the statement of someone terrified.
00:14:55.522 --> 00:14:56.690
Someone terrified. that's someone who's totally
00:14:56.756 --> 00:14:57.891
That's someone who's totally confident in who she is
00:14:57.958 --> 00:14:59.659
Confident in who she is and what she's accomplished.
00:14:59.726 --> 00:15:01.161
And what she's accomplished. look at her, mr. agnostic.

There is no regret. why?
00:15:09.202 --> 00:15:09.903
Why? because she was absolutely
00:15:09.970 --> 00:15:11.705
Because she was absolutely pure.
00:15:11.771 --> 00:15:12.372
Pure. she was totally innocent.

Mary's baby would be the king of all kings and the lord

Of all kings and the lord of all lords.

Of all lords. mary's baby would bring kings
00:15:29.990 --> 00:15:31.725
Mary's baby would bring kings to the cave with gold,
00:15:31.791 --> 00:15:33.660
To the cave with gold, frankincense and myrrh.

Frankincense and myrrh. for those preachers who'll be

Running around saying, "jesus is poor.
00:15:37.230 --> 00:15:38.098
"jesus is poor. i am poor.
00:15:38.164 --> 00:15:38.698

(laughter) mary's baby startled herod,
00:15:42.969 --> 00:15:44.971
Mary's baby startled herod, because the scholars
00:15:45.038 --> 00:15:45.905
Because the scholars came to him and said,
00:15:45.972 --> 00:15:47.507
Came to him and said, "the star means a king
00:15:47.574 --> 00:15:48.875
"the star means a king has been born."
00:15:48.942 --> 00:15:50.010
Has been born." and herod had every male child
00:15:50.076 --> 00:15:52.212
And herod had every male child in bethlehem under the age of
00:15:52.278 --> 00:15:54.414
In bethlehem under the age of two executed that day.

Two executed that day. think about that.
00:15:58.385 --> 00:16:01.621
Think about that. when jesus was 13,
00:16:01.688 --> 00:16:03.790
When jesus was 13, he went to the temple
00:16:03.857 --> 00:16:06.359
He went to the temple for his bar mitzvah.
00:16:06.426 --> 00:16:08.028
For his bar mitzvah. remember he is jewish.
00:16:08.094 --> 00:16:10.330
Remember he is jewish. when jesus comes back to
00:16:10.397 --> 00:16:11.398
When jesus comes back to earth,
00:16:11.464 --> 00:16:12.165
Earth, he's going to be jewish.
00:16:12.232 --> 00:16:13.900
He's going to be jewish. he's going to come back as

He's going to come back as the lion of the tribe of

The lion of the tribe of judah,

Judah, from which we get the word

By witness of the holy spirit, if jesus is not the virgin

Birth, born of god,

Christ was in the temple. he was not supposed to be
00:18:38.578 --> 00:18:40.013
He was not supposed to be in the temple
00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:41.381
In the temple for ten generations,
00:18:41.447 --> 00:18:42.782
For ten generations, which is 500 years.
00:18:42.849 --> 00:18:44.951
Which is 500 years. the holy spirit moved on
00:18:45.018 --> 00:18:46.286
The holy spirit moved on simeon.
00:18:46.352 --> 00:18:46.886
Simeon. and he said,
00:18:46.953 --> 00:18:47.620
And he said, "mine eyes have seen
00:18:47.687 --> 00:18:49.556

And said that jesus was to be a light to the gentiles
00:18:58.364 --> 00:19:00.166
A light to the gentiles and a blessing to israel,
00:19:00.233 --> 00:19:03.970
And a blessing to israel, a light to the gentiles
00:19:04.037 --> 00:19:07.173
A light to the gentiles and a blessing to israel.
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:09.475
And a blessing to israel. this was to be the greatest
00:19:09.542 --> 00:19:10.877
This was to be the greatest error on the part of
00:19:10.944 --> 00:19:12.045
Error on the part of the holy spirit,
00:19:12.111 --> 00:19:13.213
The holy spirit, if jesus was not born of
00:19:13.279 --> 00:19:15.014
If jesus was not born of the virgin mary.
00:19:15.081 --> 00:19:16.449
The virgin mary. god made no mistake.
00:19:16.516 --> 00:19:18.718
God made no mistake. agnostics, leave this
00:19:18.785 --> 00:19:20.053
Agnostics, leave this scripture alone.
00:19:20.119 --> 00:19:20.954
Scripture alone. jeremiah 31:22, quote,
00:19:21.020 --> 00:19:23.523
Jeremiah 31:22, quote, "a woman shall compass a man."
00:19:23.590 --> 00:19:26.593
"a woman shall compass a man." what's the translation of it?
00:19:26.659 --> 00:19:28.528
What's the translation of it? a woman shall have a child
00:19:28.595 --> 00:19:30.663
A woman shall have a child without a man.
00:19:30.730 --> 00:19:32.098
Without a man. it's only been done one time,
00:19:32.165 --> 00:19:33.366
It's only been done one time, by the way, once,
00:19:33.433 --> 00:19:36.536
By the way, once, meaning,
00:19:36.603 --> 00:19:37.337
Meaning, "a woman shall be the father
00:19:37.403 --> 00:19:38.705
"a woman shall be the father of her own child."
00:19:38.771 --> 00:19:40.607
Of her own child." let's review.
00:19:40.673 --> 00:19:41.574
Let's review. we have matthew and luke's
00:19:41.641 --> 00:19:42.742
We have matthew and luke's account that he was born of
00:19:42.809 --> 00:19:44.344
Account that he was born of a virgin.
00:19:44.410 --> 00:19:45.144
A virgin. we have mary's emotional
00:19:45.211 --> 00:19:46.379
We have mary's emotional reaction to her pregnancy,
00:19:46.446 --> 00:19:48.281
Reaction to her pregnancy, running straight to
00:19:48.348 --> 00:19:49.382
Running straight to elizabeth's house which was
00:19:49.449 --> 00:19:51.084
Elizabeth's house which was the wife of the high priest.
00:19:51.150 --> 00:19:52.585
The wife of the high priest. thirdly,
00:19:52.652 --> 00:19:53.186
Thirdly, we have the holy spirit's
00:19:53.253 --> 00:19:54.454
We have the holy spirit's confirmation via simeon.
00:19:54.520 --> 00:19:56.789
Confirmation via simeon. "this child should be given
00:19:56.856 --> 00:19:58.091
"this child should be given as a light to the gentiles."
00:19:58.157 --> 00:20:00.226
As a light to the gentiles." that's us.
00:20:00.293 --> 00:20:01.394
That's us. now, let's look at
00:20:01.461 --> 00:20:02.328
Now, let's look at the historical evidence
00:20:02.395 --> 00:20:03.529
The historical evidence of the old testament,
00:20:03.596 --> 00:20:04.897
Of the old testament, the law of israel
00:20:04.964 --> 00:20:05.698
The law of israel for illegitimate children
00:20:05.765 --> 00:20:07.267
For illegitimate children in deuteronomy 23.
00:20:07.333 --> 00:20:09.302
In deuteronomy 23. "illegitimate children
00:20:09.369 --> 00:20:10.470
"illegitimate children could not be a member of
00:20:10.536 --> 00:20:11.704
Could not be a member of the congregation of israel
00:20:11.771 --> 00:20:13.439
The congregation of israel and had to stay out of the
00:20:13.506 --> 00:20:14.674
And had to stay out of the temple for ten generations."
00:20:14.741 --> 00:20:17.043
Temple for ten generations." that means 500 years.
00:20:17.110 --> 00:20:20.179
That means 500 years. how does this relate to jesus?
00:20:20.246 --> 00:20:22.081
How does this relate to jesus? jesus was called
00:20:22.148 --> 00:20:23.049
Jesus was called a great teacher.
00:20:23.116 --> 00:20:24.117
A great teacher. he was in the temple at age 13
00:20:24.183 --> 00:20:26.686
He was in the temple at age 13 confounding the theologians.
00:20:26.753 --> 00:20:28.955
Confounding the theologians. the bible of hebrews is built
00:20:29.022 --> 00:20:30.556
The bible of hebrews is built on the fact that jesus is
00:20:30.623 --> 00:20:32.625
On the fact that jesus is the high priest.
00:20:32.692 --> 00:20:33.593
The high priest. that's what the whole book of

And taught as someone with authority.
00:20:38.898 --> 00:20:39.899
With authority. how can this be true of
00:20:39.966 --> 00:20:41.534
How can this be true of our high priest if he's not
00:20:41.601 --> 00:20:43.269
Our high priest if he's not pure?
00:20:43.336 --> 00:20:44.003
Pure? if christ was not born of
00:20:44.070 --> 00:20:45.338
If christ was not born of a virgin,
00:20:45.405 --> 00:20:46.139
A virgin, we must cross out every word
00:20:46.205 --> 00:20:47.840
We must cross out every word of his utterance.
00:20:47.907 --> 00:20:48.875
Of his utterance. all of the new testament
00:20:48.941 --> 00:20:50.443
All of the new testament shouts from beginning to end
00:20:50.510 --> 00:20:52.879
Shouts from beginning to end that jesus christ is
00:20:52.945 --> 00:20:54.447
That jesus christ is our high priest.
00:20:54.514 --> 00:20:55.682
Our high priest. he is our advocate.

Jesus hears the prayer and he takes it to god,
00:21:03.723 --> 00:21:05.224
And he takes it to god, the father.
00:21:05.291 --> 00:21:06.225
The father. and through god, the father
00:21:06.292 --> 00:21:07.860
And through god, the father comes back the answer
00:21:07.927 --> 00:21:09.195
Comes back the answer through jesus christ.
00:21:09.262 --> 00:21:10.663
Through jesus christ. you better believe

(applause) in closing,
00:21:28.047 --> 00:21:29.649
In closing, consider mary's reaction
00:21:29.716 --> 00:21:30.917
Consider mary's reaction at the cross.
00:21:30.983 --> 00:21:32.719
At the cross. mary heard of his arrest.
00:21:32.785 --> 00:21:35.154
Mary heard of his arrest. she ran to pilate's courtyard.

Crucify him! we have no king but caesar!"
00:21:43.830 --> 00:21:46.466
We have no king but caesar!" she followed her son

She followed her son as he went to herod's palace.
00:21:48.668 --> 00:21:52.538
As he went to herod's palace. her heart broke when herod's
00:21:52.605 --> 00:21:55.074
Her heart broke when herod's men slapped him and spit
00:21:55.141 --> 00:21:56.542
Men slapped him and spit on him and put a robe
00:21:56.609 --> 00:21:58.111
On him and put a robe on his back,
00:21:58.177 --> 00:21:59.579
On his back, thrust crown of thorns
00:21:59.645 --> 00:22:01.080
Thrust crown of thorns on his head,
00:22:01.147 --> 00:22:02.382
On his head, blood gushed down his face.
00:22:02.448 --> 00:22:04.984
Blood gushed down his face. she followed him as he was
00:22:05.051 --> 00:22:06.119
She followed him as he was taken back to pilate.
00:22:06.185 --> 00:22:08.287
Taken back to pilate. there, burly roman soldiers
00:22:08.354 --> 00:22:09.922
There, burly roman soldiers took a cat-of-nine-tails and
00:22:09.989 --> 00:22:12.125
Took a cat-of-nine-tails and beat her son with 39 stripes,
00:22:12.191 --> 00:22:15.595
Beat her son with 39 stripes, with the blood gushing onto
00:22:15.661 --> 00:22:16.829
With the blood gushing onto the floor.
00:22:16.896 --> 00:22:18.398
The floor. she heard him groan in agony
00:22:18.464 --> 00:22:19.999
She heard him groan in agony every time the whip ripped
00:22:20.066 --> 00:22:22.135
Every time the whip ripped flesh from the bone.
00:22:22.201 --> 00:22:24.437
Flesh from the bone. in her mind,
00:22:24.504 --> 00:22:25.071
In her mind, she saw him as a fat,
00:22:25.138 --> 00:22:26.272
She saw him as a fat, cuddly baby tugging at
00:22:26.339 --> 00:22:28.074
Cuddly baby tugging at her cheeks,
00:22:28.141 --> 00:22:29.008
Her cheeks, feeding at her breast,
00:22:29.075 --> 00:22:30.476
Feeding at her breast, taking his first steps,
00:22:30.543 --> 00:22:32.078
Taking his first steps, speaking his first words
00:22:32.145 --> 00:22:33.446
Speaking his first words in hebrew.
00:22:33.513 --> 00:22:34.881
In hebrew. now, she heard the spikes
00:22:34.947 --> 00:22:37.083
Now, she heard the spikes ripping through his hands
00:22:37.150 --> 00:22:38.951
Ripping through his hands and feet.
00:22:39.018 --> 00:22:40.219
And feet. his body was caked in blood.
00:22:40.286 --> 00:22:42.989
His body was caked in blood. the sky is dark.
00:22:43.055 --> 00:22:45.291
The sky is dark. the earth is shaking.
00:22:45.358 --> 00:22:47.293
The earth is shaking. and her son,
00:22:47.360 --> 00:22:49.228
And her son, naked, in shame,
00:22:49.295 --> 00:22:52.064
Naked, in shame, with--
00:22:52.131 --> 00:22:52.965
With-- crucified with criminals
00:22:53.032 --> 00:22:55.301
Crucified with criminals is dying for your sins
00:22:55.368 --> 00:22:58.337
Is dying for your sins and for mine.
00:22:58.404 --> 00:23:00.573
And for mine. why did they treat him so?
00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:03.876
Why did they treat him so? caiaphas,
00:23:03.943 --> 00:23:04.343
Caiaphas, the high priest,
00:23:04.410 --> 00:23:05.044
The high priest, said, "we have a law.
00:23:05.111 --> 00:23:07.380
Said, "we have a law. and by our law,
00:23:07.447 --> 00:23:08.581
And by our law, he ought to die because being
00:23:08.648 --> 00:23:10.216
He ought to die because being a man,
00:23:10.283 --> 00:23:11.350
A man, he said he was the son
00:23:11.417 --> 00:23:12.452
He said he was the son of god."
00:23:12.518 --> 00:23:13.352
Of god." and there it is,
00:23:13.419 --> 00:23:14.720
And there it is, that controversy again.
00:23:14.787 --> 00:23:16.355
That controversy again. because being a man,
00:23:16.422 --> 00:23:17.957
Because being a man, he said he was the son of god.
00:23:18.024 --> 00:23:20.993
He said he was the son of god. all mary would have had to do
00:23:21.060 --> 00:23:22.228
All mary would have had to do to stop that was say,
00:23:22.295 --> 00:23:23.529
To stop that was say, "i lied.
00:23:23.596 --> 00:23:25.832
"i lied. i lied.
00:23:25.898 --> 00:23:27.166
I lied. he is not the son of god.
00:23:27.233 --> 00:23:28.868
He is not the son of god. in a moment of sexual sin,
00:23:28.935 --> 00:23:30.203
In a moment of sexual sin, joseph and i conceived
00:23:30.269 --> 00:23:31.370
Joseph and i conceived this man.
00:23:31.437 --> 00:23:32.138
This man. he's not divine.
00:23:32.205 --> 00:23:33.039
He's not divine. he's not god's son.
00:23:33.105 --> 00:23:34.106
He's not god's son. take him down."
00:23:34.173 --> 00:23:36.676
Take him down." and that would have ended
00:23:36.742 --> 00:23:37.410
And that would have ended the crucifixion.
00:23:37.477 --> 00:23:39.645
The crucifixion. but mary,
00:23:39.712 --> 00:23:40.213
But mary, knowing that the man on
00:23:40.279 --> 00:23:42.248
Knowing that the man on the middle cross was her son
00:23:42.315 --> 00:23:45.251
The middle cross was her son and the son of god,
00:23:45.318 --> 00:23:47.286
And the son of god, the lamb of god,
00:23:47.353 --> 00:23:49.188
The lamb of god, her body shook with convulsive
00:23:49.255 --> 00:23:51.290
Her body shook with convulsive sobs.
00:23:51.357 --> 00:23:52.658
Sobs. tears ran down her cheeks
00:23:52.725 --> 00:23:54.827
Tears ran down her cheeks and mingled with the blood
00:23:54.894 --> 00:23:56.062
And mingled with the blood of her son in the sands
00:23:56.128 --> 00:23:57.930
Of her son in the sands of calvary.
00:23:57.997 --> 00:23:59.398
Of calvary. her pain expressed
00:23:59.465 --> 00:24:00.800
Her pain expressed in agonizing groaning
00:24:00.867 --> 00:24:02.768
In agonizing groaning of a broken heart.
00:24:02.835 --> 00:24:04.704
Of a broken heart. where is the atheist,
00:24:04.770 --> 00:24:05.705
Where is the atheist, the agnostic,
00:24:05.771 --> 00:24:06.706
The agnostic, the godless who says jesus
00:24:06.772 --> 00:24:08.774
The godless who says jesus was not the son of god?
00:24:08.841 --> 00:24:10.776
Was not the son of god? kneeling in the shadows of
00:24:10.843 --> 00:24:12.044
Kneeling in the shadows of the cross of calvary is
00:24:12.111 --> 00:24:13.980
The cross of calvary is a broken-hearted jewish mother
00:24:14.046 --> 00:24:16.215
A broken-hearted jewish mother who refused to deny
00:24:16.282 --> 00:24:17.650
Who refused to deny the miracle of the virgin
00:24:17.717 --> 00:24:18.818
The miracle of the virgin birth in the darkest hours
00:24:18.885 --> 00:24:20.920

And feet of jesus.
00:27:16.929 --> 00:27:16.929
