The king there was sick when he heard that the man of God was in town the Kings sent his servant name as e l to inquired of the Lord to know if you would recover from this illness or not when as years stood in front of a lie shot life just stared at him and he started to cry and as yell ask him why are you was crying and their lives are said because I know the evil that you will do to the children of Israel their stronghold you will set on fire the young man you will kill with the sword and you will crush their children and rip open their women which child the stories in the 2nd king Chapter 8 as years replied Meyer dog that I should do this gross thing the men really did not know himself he was showing sure that you would never be capable of doing such thing and yet he was the word of a lie sure came to pass as he was indeed capable of doing those gross things he just did not know it this morning in our text we are going to see the very same thing we are going to see several man who did not know themselves some were honest about it others were not and we learned today that we do not really know ourselves. It is a fact of life we are soome that we know the depravity of others but we do not know our own there privately so please turn with me to architect we are still in the book of man you were almost finished with it when Chapter 26 version 20 as we continue we start last week this long chapter 6 parts the preparations the celebrations the predictions the some missions the accusations and the rejection last week we have seen the preparations preparation for murder for burial for betrayal and for the Passover today we will take the next 2 parts the celebration of the Passover and the Lord's Supper and the predictions 2 by Jesus and one by Peter in our text to day we will learn that people do not know themselves we do not know our own depravity to Matthew continues the story of the life of Jesus and he says here in verse 20 now when evening at come he sat down with the 12 now as they were eating is said assuredly I say to you one of you will betray me and they were exceedingly sorrowful and each of them began to say to him Lord is it a lie then he answered and said he his hand with me in the dish will be training the Son of man goes and it is written of him Walter that man by whom the Son of Man is be traded. It would have been good for that man if we had not been born then Judas who was betraying him answered and said Rabbi is it I and he said to him You have said that the Passover meal that was posed to be eaten engineer is l.m. After sunset and before midnight so shortly after sunset Jesus entered the prepared room and Upper Room Luke says and he partook of the Passover supper with all 12 of his disciples verse 20. It is interesting to me that Judas Iscariot would be there he had decided in is heart to turn from Jesus and me out already been paid 30 pieces of silver he had them on is body and still Jesus knowing this let him come anyway to the dinner but he will not let him stay for communion in the New Testament times the Jews add up to the Greek or Roman habit of reclining instead of sitting right like we do to eat they rested on their left elbow with their heads toward the table and their feet away from the table the right hand was done free to take the food they huge couches that they call to reclean iyam that's the plural of prickly India they were our range in a u. Shape. With the chief couch being at the junction of the 2 in this case Jesus was at the place of the hose in the center of the tree cleanly I'm at the head one large table or sometimes 3 small table were inside that you shaped so they all took their places at the 3 clean e.-m. Around the table not at all like the paintings that we have seen of the Last Supper that shows them all sitting on the one side of the table during the celebration Jesus made a shocking announcement one of those with him will be 3 him very funny one and this statement shows the all nations of Jesus he knew everything. Prizing really enough know this Sipos pointed to another with an axe using finger asking is it him Lord is it him No each one became very sad and asked if he was the Detroit area or is it are a lord very strong need to they didn't know who the betrayer was but they knew one thing they knew that it was possible for any one of them to willingly or on willingly be tray and without realizing it that's why they all asked if they had done it Jesus added that the one be trailing him ad been sharing close fellowship with him so he and the betrayer as eaten out of the same bow. Some people misunderstand a verse and a thing that Jesus was saying that the guy who will dip his hand with me in the dish it is the guy but the verb differ is in the past tense verge 23 who did it is he who dipped past tense it was one eating with him meaning that it was one of the greying it is not a told stranger it is the one who has eaten with me when Mark told the story use the word different in the present tense it is one of the 12 who dips with me in the dish and still he was not saying that the dipping into the dish was the sign of who it was John used a piece of bread as a sign he said it is he who I give a piece of bread when I have dipped it to eat with a friend and then to be training him was 3 cheery at its worst Jesus referred to some 41 version 9 which shall even my own son mill your friend in whom I trusted who ate my bread as lifted up his heel against me Jesus said He will go as it was written by the prophet he will die it will happen but whoa Kirsch is the man who betrays him and then he said it would be better if we had never been born Vishwanath fall do not yet confusion Jesus was not angry with Judas he was not wishing him to pay for what he had done. Jesus felt true compassion for this poor man because he was acting as Satan's agent he had been deceived by the master deceiver for some lousy silver calling. The betrayers fave will be so awful that Jesus Xpress Kong passion by saying it would have been better if the person would not have been born and in a sense it is true of any person who rejects God's plan of salvation and will end up in torment in Hell for all eternity it would have been better not to have been born a law then to be born and end up there Jesus was pointing out to Judas the consequences of his betrayal although he had taken the money already to be 3 Jesus the ark was not yet accomplish by hearing this Judas could have changed Jesus could have right then and there forgive him if he would have confessed if he would have asked forgiveness he would have been forgiven but instead look what he did he asked the Lord Robert I is it are you what are hypocrite Jesus clearly pointed out as they be trailer you have said it he says in verse 25. And he's saying Rabbi is it. Do you not this is the difference between what Jews are your selves and what the other is 11 disciples said. The disciples asked Lord is are I Judas ask Rabbi is it our aim to do this Jesus was a rabbi he was a teacher he was not Lord he was not master like the other disciples Judas was interested in Jesus because he was extracting him to establish a new kingdom on earth he was going to change thing he was going to set up a kingdom in Jerusalem like nothing else and that meant posing sions of authority for dogs around him some special one man's will be made but when Jesus started to talk about dying being crucified. Judas could see all his dreams disappear he was not interested in a dead man there is nothing in it for me so look wrote that Satan entered Judas Yes he did but Satan's part in the betrayal of Jesus does not remove the responsibility from Judas he will never be able to claim the devil made me do it the devil simply tempted him and he wanted the silver anyone for it. Everyone will be held accountable for the choices and the action that they have made the words of Jesus to Judas were not understood by the other disciples as John made clear in John Chapter 13 after saying to him You have said it Jesus added what you do you quickly John says in chapter 13 the disciples simply assume that Judas was given some instruction by Jesus to go buy a song circle lies or to go give something to the poor because Judas was handling the money but imagine that the thief the money hungry man was in charge of the money since the disciples did not understand g. Judas deported John says in John $1330.00 he was not allowed to stay there for communion that's why Jesus said what you do do quickly it is also interesting that the disciples did not realize that one of them Judas was the traitor they did not even suspect him they did not see any difference in the way that Jesus treated him. It is quite a remarkable testimony to our large patience and love to love this man to the last minute and 3 then just like the others John also makes it clear that Judas went out immediately after that he was not there for the celebration of the Lord suffer as Luke inadvertently make it sound by reverting the order of events putting the Communion service before the betrayal it is also very significant that this man in sin was not allowed to partake of communion the Bible is clear we are to examine ourselves prior to communion we are not to partake of communion in an holy matter the Bible says and it explained without examining ourselves without acknowledging and compressing our sense we have to do those things before we partake of communion and Judas who was not interested in confessing Jesus just gave him another fortunate day and the skipper so easy made sure that Judas would not stay for communion then at verse 26 we have the 2nd celebration the celebration of the Lord's Supper so. Matthew goes on and he says here in verse $26.00 and as they were eating Jesus took bread blessed year and broke it and gave it to the Sipos and said Take eat this is my body then he took the car and gave things and gave it to them saying during from it all of you for this is my blood of the new covenant which is shared for many for the remission of sin but I see to you I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on or until that they when I drink it new with you in my Father's Kingdom so as Jesus and the disciples were eating Jesus took the loaf of bread on leaven bread and he blessed it and he broke it and he gave it to them saying Take eat this is my body verse $26.00 this is not to be taken literally the on leavened bread was not suddenly transformed into the body of Jesus they were not eating the actual body of Christ like some churches say today Jesus used visual elements to describe a figurative through just as he did before when he said I am the door he is was not if physical DAWE I am Divine you was not divine I am the light you was not a big bald but it was just figurative speak Luke add when he tells the story in look chapter 22 that Jesus said to do this in the remembrance of him. And this specific action was a memory or was a remembrance was a reminder of what Jesus was about to do shortly after that it was arrested and his body was pierced he was crucified to a cross for the sins of the world for us it is a reminder of what Jesus did for us we look back then Jesus took the cup verse 27 gave thanks gave it to them seeing drink from it this is my blood of the new covenant which is shed for the remission of sin virtue when he ate again this was not his real blood but in remembrance of his blood that was going to be shed for the remission of sin so we see here the reason why Jesus shed is blood for the remission of sin there was no other possible way to eliminate our sin der meal was organized around 4 cups of red wine Sambo lies ng for part promise of redemption that is found way back in exile or this chapter 6 verses 6 and 7 the 1st one is I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptian number 2 I will rescue you from your bond a huge number 3 c I will redeem you and number 4 hour will take you as my people and be your god. The entry to Sion of communion here probably happen with the 3rd of the meal by so doing Jesus was associated in his words with the cup representing I will read Diem you now do not like some other people have before actually you Jesus of being a wine babe or we've seen that in chapter 11 do not make sure 4 cups of wine for each person do not picture for giant goblet of red wine the 128 ounce Big Picture. That was not under the table the cup was small it was not filled all the way and it was passed around for all 13 not 12 people Judas was gone to share to pass around the wine which knew it was not 10 or 20 years old as we have today it was wine recently made that year and even in heaven Jesus said we are going to drink new wine then Jesus said that he will not drink wine again on till he is in his father's kingdom in verse 29 this is a reference to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb that will take place in heaven after the rapture of the church when the Lord will be reunited with his bride and we will celebrate just the bride and him no others they are left on earth. Jesus did eat bread he did eat fish and honey after years of resurrection we see this in Luke 24 and John Chapter 21 but it is no record in the scripture that he ever during the fruit of the vine again he will in heaven Sean People are excited to hear that there would be wine in heaven.

Welcome to express is from the St Paul Missionary Baptist Church we're located at 399614 davening in Sacramento where Dr Ephraim Williams is to senior pastor Let's now go into the sanctuary in joint Dr Williams With today's lesson already in progress. One of our young women going to give a name called me up from years ago while not him and about 6 years ago now as she was going to college and used to. Like calling no used in Texas he was go into that screw. Dollars which are what was what you want it is she was going they want to. And she remembered. It and we were all kids before they go away if. You remember something remember something. To watch out boy and not to do and at the end of. The message I mean the. Time there she give me to graduate I want to have Professor. Approached and threatened. And told her if she didn't follow through what he wanted her to do he had the power to hold her great. That's why we don't talk about that you may have some power. But you don't have a home. So I knew I know 2 people and 2 paths and that said so I call one of them and said to him you need to find out what steps you need to take. We are going to bang her mother and son our mother there after what you want to do is to meet with the dean of the school that her work meet with the president that doesn't work you gets to all the people in our Masons Justin and we will remove him and I'll give you some direction from Sacramento and get him out of there screw you somebody have a 10 you out of here County here if he has the can a power he can from a younger. Well I hope we'll hold hard rain and we are Chris Sarra gonna live in God we've got more power here. So she graduated and. He said here here and I said Brother common after here he's he said I'm open and well into to apologize and I'm different from a lot of people after he's going to all of that don't remove him I hear what you say. Here which is. The reason he can apologize and stay there hear never forget the how he messed up don't all be red hang people never turn Americans the Trotter help them and then of a way if you do a poll says take them to their power that's the Bible so that you keep your seat today I want you to write this down or you can take your Bible out read it with me book a man you Chapter 20 a was number 6 Matthew 26 and it read this far as he is not aware for he hears work and he come on do work. You come look but he's not here. He's fallen through what he said. And so out of that I want to talk about this more and I know he is alive not somebody else are I know he's alive when I was 11 years old I remember I asked and one of my Sunday school teachers what proof that she had talking about Jesus Christ has risen from the grave what was not true and she said. Literally from I have never been asked that question before us I'm a human to sense your lives as I am now and you should have some proof that he did wrong but more than that you ought to help them prove that he is alive so I pursued it and I as. I knew the answer when I have so I talked to my parents about it and I'm a particular concern about young people in church and young adults the really a lot of young a double each of the people killed them well there's a real lot of young at the bleacher is no longer an apology is no longer a fun time because if you ever get anchor and know why you're winches I'm here what have you not only you my stray but you won't leave so if you ever get to know that I'm no use you set yourself I'm no he really are no here or there are no here. Let me give you a few things I know I when we installed the pass a reason and San Francisco many of you was there after I said to the church I says Now Pastor Reese your need a note of Rosa he's not coming when I said about John he's not coming from nowhere . He's from on off with Cherry woo his death is cherrywood. Off what I said and I says Now I know he did have a hard time and suffer in St Paul and if you won't give him a hard time I said to him you should leave me you can set it if you don't know him you don't appear to be pushed in kicked around when you know who co-wrote that. I am no he the I'm no bad and most people that know me well enough to tell you I didn't start there since I was 21 I was doing this I was doing that if I even marked character when I was in high school was not set because I thought that's why I'm going to high school to be. Encouraged and develop what I was getting at home so coming to church and this is east of this is the Resurrection Sunday we celebrate we call it Easter Well if you don't know none if you don't know individual that he lives before you leave you there you should get to know because then will come a time in your own life there's been a member of a chair won't help you when you really need to know and then he says go one step further even me end up time going on no Waddle that mean you know him I just quater some marvelously this morning I mean they didn't really do the good job it doesn't mean they know what Jesus. Cause the devil him saying mama this. You all know when you shake a leg from your short one last night. That he sure you have now in terms of which we have never met you don't read the time the sun the time the sun the other tongue is pushing that you got to know him not talk about him but know him. The economy is bad. And the rich folks is making it worse dog company of making 1000000000 and they cannot pay all weekend. If we don't spend it at the gas tank at the gas station we got to spend in the grocery store. We don't spend in a grocery store we got to pay taxes and nothing is going on you need to get to know him he he of the law I was like a Tony done but I mean he's he's alive. Misfiring song removed here this morning like he was alive. And she came home as Pony. But she know that that's not going to do anything but none you gotta know somebody has been young but church listen carefully here acts for until he is known to you all of the books and all the people of Israel that bother name of Jesus Christ of never with whom ye crucified. That's the book whom God receives from the day even if I bought him. This man standing here before you whole what they did they thought they was carrying out their own wish. He claimed. They call the guards who will not know man who will God directed him to come. And gone direct to him while he was alone and now he is every word of the same time as well you know what you have never heard me pray Lord go to the hospital and touch somebody now that that's. Not correct. First of all I don't have the power to all of God to go nowhere I just tell him the blessed where he is. Who he is on the present so is the day I know he perhaps. You need to you know really pay attention perhaps the place where. They bring him spoke to his wife say are we gone on their beloved son Isaac after they had returned from them out Mariah experience where the said. We no more he's not de here alive how they went took him up there to kill him and the mother of love Him Home weep he says stop and weep he did not do. That were the typical I was going to happen to. Have these were the words Joseph brother when I spoke to them Baba Jacob after their return from Egypt to put your home that's why I never participated with you and you can find out about I can tell you I haven't participated participate because your people become your crookedness have a way of coming back to you help me. So when the brother of folding forward shows up there thought they had killed him he was dead. But God allow no Home Guard to follow us in their home guard already read it in use in your own by another name returning to Egypt to purchase Cohen Bomb. When they returned there's a bomb. We have. We head god good news for you if we're going to take some He's not day he of the law. Genesis afford if you have come to come back and see Jacob not shout because he's been we've been worried about his love song that he thought so much of that he got me into the way he not a. Church perhaps these were the words of you lie to the front of my woman who Sam had done and the Irish your praise him back to life again this madam you can now read Joan. For he's not be your son you go on. Perhaps these were the words of a woman who lived in the sin of nun whose only son had died and won he was being to his great Jesus his beer and told him to arrive which he did when she began to shout he's not day here. A la I went to the. Man that worked in the well he back they own the Bam now own a funeral home and one time I. Went with this fellow to pick up a bottle and we were going our way back. With the bottle and we got all moved. To the place and I heard a noise I can hear where I can still hear where I heard noises so I said to him I said What is that and he said where he told me what happens to people just before he was down there are heard more no then I heard of all that he's driving on the freeway but I almost jumped out of the car. Because And then he pulled to the sound in the dark and the and the dead supposedly dead man said. Why am I. If they live in the daytime are got around but it was night market. Their way m.r.i. And the and the drama of the morticians said to him he said we pick you up at the hospital because you would call us to get your body you were day now that was done for you all get happy don't get happy on this before you get half and that was before they were he had been in bomb you they pick you up now and take you to a module where you know you don't get a.

What we call a day Easter Sunday morning their crimes is rather rushed when any other law Tolo women when they arrive at the bear or planes although he's not here here river or in other words he's not dead he is our man through 2626 and of law Meyer. He was and he know down to an atheist and agnostic and skepticism always that he would be but he's not he's the last Recently I was invited to. To do an interview with someone and the Germans and the in this interview you have to be careful. You can't talk too much about so I can kind of the last word. He he was reluctant to say it and so ourselves and he went after us I don't do interviews with our sense of about geez when I get of I when I get to show in a few hours they are already thank God for an opportunity for you to give me an interview it's not the interview that interests me it is who are called the to happen. If you had not if it had not been for Jesus he were in the near Moscow with me you've got to find out who you are who you belong to I'm going to go live in a world or a man that died and save me and I can talk about it. I came to bet you some of it well if you get in trouble if I get in trouble I'll know you think about you I told you I know he's a lawyer if I get in trouble for he'll let me tell you something if I get in trouble for do you know he has some way off oh in something up to me to get me out of trouble come here Pete and set right here and be a witness why the church was praying for peace. Peter Knox don't let go when they got frightened. He's not dead I tell you know the law and never out of your messes the day he'll alive. No doubt a doubt. The unbeliever and their critics all ways that he were yet be but he the very much alive no doubt are the evolutionists and they're called.

If you were still day I watch is of course if we were still a day did. We want to know that he was not whom he claimed to be reasonable there. For him we were not we were not know that he was the saw not believe in God or the savior of our or our redeemer if. We were not know and would not have the Atonement for I've seen other friends none of Lo me look look out for the Messiah or if he was dead if he were still dead he would not be the way the truth and the my friend I know this.

So I want to start today as we look at a lot Peta. To look at what it meant to be originally called by Jesus we're not mean to follow Jesus and this is a story that comes up quite a few times because Peter met Jesus and started following him so how did that whole journey began out of the how did a lot of reaction to Jesus begin let's go to this is in Chapter Luke Chapter 5 The Swan So on one occasion while the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the Word of God Jesus was standing by the likes of Knesset that's the Gentile name of the Greek for the Sea of Galilee same place and he saw 2 boats by the lake but the fisherman had gone out of them and were washing the net so we see a little bit more detail we see not just 2 fishermen with their net we see 2 boats up on the shore and cleaning their net fishing. And. Washing their nets. And we also get a bit more detail here stones are Jews just walking on the beach commanding people to follow him we see here the Jesus was standing on the on the shore talking to people he was preaching the Word of God says they were here they doing his ministry and getting into one of the boats which was son as he asked them to put out a little from the land and he set them and taught the people from the bottom now this looks like it makes sense to me Jesus was teaching on the Saudis had a teaching ministry he would teach people about the Kingdom of God He teaches synagogues like church buildings a little smaller than this one and when those would get full Jesus would go outside and it stand on the base and he talked to the crowds that were gathering around and it says here the crowd got so big pushing in on Jesus because if you touch Jesus some people got healed he was getting pushed back up against the water and this would not do because the whole point of Jesus coming was not to get drowned or crushed by a crowd of people.
