- And so, they walked back to jerusalem
- 00:06:35.558 --> 00:06:37.260
- Back to jerusalem and they got together with peter
- 00:06:37.326 --> 00:06:39.562

- And i'm done 'cause there's only three
- 00:06:47.937 --> 00:06:49.071
- 'cause there's only three because you can't have
- 00:06:49.138 --> 00:06:49.739
- Because you can't have more than three points
- 00:06:49.806 --> 00:06:50.640
- More than three points on easter sunday.
- 00:06:50.706 --> 00:06:51.908

- The reveal and the release. why do they show you the shoe
- 00:07:09.125 --> 00:07:12.028

- In that space between the reveal and the release.
- 00:08:35.111 --> 00:08:37.480

- And then, they did. it's called space.
- 00:08:53.496 --> 00:08:55.665
- It's called space. that's where faith grows
- 00:08:55.731 --> 00:08:58.034
- That's where faith grows in between two points.
- 00:08:58.100 --> 00:09:01.671
- In between two points. between the reveal
- 00:09:01.737 --> 00:09:04.440

- I commit my spirit" as the sky grew black
- 00:09:47.016 --> 00:09:48.851
- As the sky grew black for three hours
- 00:09:48.918 --> 00:09:50.419

- [laughter] and i think what john did
- 00:12:54.970 --> 00:12:59.909
- And i think what john did when he recorded
- 00:12:59.975 --> 00:13:00.676
- When he recorded what jesus did when he died,
- 00:13:00.743 --> 00:13:03.679
- What jesus did when he died, because remember,
- 00:13:03.746 --> 00:13:05.181
- Because remember, it looked like the end.
- 00:13:05.247 --> 00:13:07.883
- It looked like the end. it was really the beginning.
- 00:13:07.950 --> 00:13:10.653
- It was really the beginning. it was grace dressed like shame.
- 00:13:10.719 --> 00:13:13.856
- It was grace dressed like shame. it was triumph
- 00:13:13.923 --> 00:13:15.691
- It was triumph dressed like trouble.
- 00:13:15.758 --> 00:13:17.860
- Dressed like trouble. and so, john says, that
- 00:13:17.927 --> 00:13:19.061
- And so, john says, that when jesus died and said,
- 00:13:19.128 --> 00:13:21.263
- When jesus died and said, "it is finished,"
- 00:13:21.330 --> 00:13:22.464
- "it is finished," which was a cry of victory.
- 00:13:22.531 --> 00:13:25.434
- Which was a cry of victory. with that, he bowed his head
- 00:13:25.501 --> 00:13:29.071
- With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
- 00:13:29.138 --> 00:13:31.574
- And gave up his spirit. "and gave up his spirit,"
- 00:13:31.640 --> 00:13:33.075
- "and gave up his spirit," is how we say it in english.
- 00:13:33.142 --> 00:13:35.277
- Is how we say it in english. but the bible
- 00:13:35.344 --> 00:13:35.678
- But the bible wasn't written in english.
- 00:13:35.744 --> 00:13:38.547
- Wasn't written in english. in fact, this part of the bible
- 00:13:38.614 --> 00:13:39.782
- In fact, this part of the bible was written in greek.
- 00:13:39.849 --> 00:13:41.684
- And there is a greek word
- 00:13:41.784 --> 00:13:43.485
- And there is a greek word that john used in the 30th verse
- 00:13:43.552 --> 00:13:46.455
- That john used in the 30th verse of the 19th chapter
- 00:13:46.522 --> 00:13:47.623
- Of the 19th chapter of his gospel
- 00:13:47.690 --> 00:13:48.591
- Of his gospel that we translated, "gave up,"
- 00:13:48.657 --> 00:13:51.126
- That we translated, "gave up," that really doesn't mean,
- 00:13:51.193 --> 00:13:52.161
- That really doesn't mean, "gave up."
- 00:13:52.228 --> 00:13:53.362
- "gave up." you know what the greek word is?
- 00:13:53.429 --> 00:13:55.631
- You know what the greek word is? paradidomi.
- 00:13:55.698 --> 00:13:57.967
- Paradidomi
- 00:13:58.067 --> 00:13:58.868
- Paradidomi now you thought i was just
- 00:13:58.934 --> 00:13:59.668
- Now you thought i was just randomly telling you that
- 00:13:59.735 --> 00:14:01.403
- Randomly telling you that but i wasn't.
- 00:14:01.470 --> 00:14:02.504
- But i wasn't. i was sneaking it in
- 00:14:02.571 --> 00:14:04.073
- I was sneaking it in so when i got
- 00:14:04.139 --> 00:14:05.708
- So when i got to this point in the sermon
- 00:14:05.774 --> 00:14:06.642
- To this point in the sermon you would know
- 00:14:06.709 --> 00:14:08.143
- You would know that when the bible says
- 00:14:08.210 --> 00:14:09.712
- That when the bible says that judas handed jesus over
- 00:14:09.778 --> 00:14:12.715
- That judas handed jesus over to the sanhedrin,
- 00:14:12.781 --> 00:14:14.149
- To the sanhedrin, paradidomi.
- 00:14:14.216 --> 00:14:15.584
- Paradidomi. and the sanhedrin
- 00:14:15.651 --> 00:14:17.253
- And the sanhedrin handed jesus over
- 00:14:17.319 --> 00:14:19.088
- Handed jesus over to pilate and pilate

- To herod and herod handed over jesus
- 00:14:24.593 --> 00:14:26.762
- Handed over jesus to be crucified.
- 00:14:26.829 --> 00:14:27.796
- To be crucified. when jesus got ready to die
- 00:14:27.863 --> 00:14:29.965
- When jesus got ready to die guess what he did
- 00:14:30.032 --> 00:14:31.100
- Guess what he did with his spirit?
- 00:14:31.166 --> 00:14:32.701
