Thank you so much for this is it feels like a feels like a like a book A book called get fit while you sit chair exercises stuff you stretch and strengthen your body. What you trying to say Dylan? Well, we've been sitting for a long time Recordings I'm just saying you might We want to put that to you. You know what you're right. Oh, post your soldier stretch hand and finger stretch gentle spine twist even leg exercises man I've been eating something like it's been you know, thank you so much for thinking about me I appreciate you you can put that on the to read list Thank you Dylan. I appreciate you. Well, as always we're getting into the word of God today in chapter 23 verse 1 Then the whole company of them arose and brought him before pilot and they began to accuse him saying We found this man misleading our nation and forbidding us to give tribute to Caesar I noticed how this him forgiving to for give tribute to Caesar that obviously did not happen We just read that a couple chapters ago. They're accusing him of nothing And saying that he himself is Christ the king and pilot asked him are you king of the Jews and he answered them You've said so what a gangster bro. Oh Jesus was a gangster Then pilot said to the chief priest in the crowd. I find no guilt in this man But they were urgent saying he stirs up the people teaching throughout all Judea from Galilee even to this place When pilot heard this he asked whether the man was a Galilean And when he learned that he belonged to herad's jurisdiction He sent him over to herad who who was himself in Jerusalem at the time when herad saw Jesus He was very glad for he had long desired to see him because he had heard about him He was hoping to see some sign done by him So he questioned him at some length, but he made no answer Jesus says silent But she frees and describes did by But he meant me accusing him and harrid with his soldiers treated him with contempt and mocked him Think about this harrid heard all of these things and Jesus say silent for he knew The mission was greater than miracles Then a rang him and split and clothing he sent him back to pilot and harrid and pilot became friends with each other that very day For before this they had been an imnit he with each other Pilot then called together the chief priest and the rulers and the people and said to them You brought me this man as one who is misleading people and after examining him before you be hold I did not find this man guilty of any of your charges Neither did harrid for he sent him back to us look nothing deserving Death has been done by him. I will therefore punish and release him But they all cried out away with this man and released to us See every year the Jews had a tradition that on Passover they would receive they would release one prisoner from Rome And so on the stage you got two dudes You got barabas who was literally the leader of a rebellion and insurrection against the government of Rome Rome hated this guy He was a murderer And a thief and rum hated him he's trying to overthrow him room and then you have Jesus who was King of the Jews that pilot and harrid didn't find any fault or reason to kill him in Verse 20 pilot address them once more desiring to release Jesus but they kept shouting crucify him crucify him The same people That worshiped him a weak prior laying their clothes and their palm leaves down at him are now shouting crucify him and release the rebel and the crook A third time he said to them why what evil has he done? I have found no guilt in him Deserving death. I will therefore punish and release him But they were urgent demanding with loud cries that he should be crucified in their voices prevailed So pilot decided that their demand should be granted he released the man who had been thrown into prison for insurrection and murder for whom they asked But he delivered Jesus over to their will If this is the fate of the innocent Then imagine what happens to the guilty If this is the punishment for the innocent perfect righteous Jesus then imagine the punishment For those guilty of sin who do not receive the forgiveness of Jesus Christ Verse 26 and they let him away. They seized him They seized one Simon of Cyrene who was coming in from the country and laid him on him the cross to carry it behind Jesus. Jesus has been beaten so badly. They said hey, you need to help this guy carry his cross And they're followed him a great multitude of people and of women who are mourning and lamenting for him But Jesus turned to them But turning to them Jesus said daughters of Jerusalem do not weep for me but weep for yourselves and for your children For behold the days are coming when they will say blessed are the bearer and in the wombs that never bore the breasts Then they will begin to say to the mountains follow us and to the hills cover us For if they do these things when the wood is green What will happen when in this dry to others who were criminals were led away to be put to death with him And when they came to this place that is called the skull there they crucified him and the criminals One on his right and one on his left And Jesus said father forgive them for they know not what they do and they cast lots to divide his garments Mocking him and the people stood by watching but the rulers scoffed at him saying he saved others Let him save himself if he is the Christ of God his chosen one The soldiers mocked him coming up and offering him sour wine saying if you were the king of Jews save yourself Isn't it interesting? How through people Satan is tempting Jesus if you're really God get down off the cross and save yourself Whereas in Islam Jesus wasn't crucified but got down off the cross and was substituted out. Isn't that crazy? How Islam is a doctrine of religion born of a demon and Satan Where the very thing Jesus was tempted in historically and through the biblical narrative is the outcome in Islam It's crazy and then we keep reading there was also an inscription over him mocking him This is the this is the king of the Jews that was heard a mock him one of the criminals who were hanged Railed at him saying are you not the Christ save yourself and us But the other rebuke him saying do you not fear gods and see we're under the same sentence of condemnation You he said the other criminal No one can sit knowing is wrong doing Rebuke the selfish criminal and saying do you not realize that you're receiving the same punishment the innocent son of God is And we indeed justly for we are receiving the due reward for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong And that criminal it says in verse 42 he said to Jesus Jesus remember me when you come into your king and spam is so humble and recognizing it since I look I'm not even worthy to be with you would you just remember me And he said to him truly I say to you today you will be with me And paradise first 44 it was about the sixth hour and there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour While the Sun's light failed and the curtain of the temple was torn into the Jesus calling out with a loud voice said father into your hands I commit my spirit And having said this he briefed this last now when the Centurion saw what had taken place He praised God saying certainly This man was innocent and all the crowds had assembled for the spectacle when they saw what was taking place return home beating their breasts And all his acquaintances and the women who had followed him from Gali stood at a distance watching these things Now there was a man named Joseph from the Jewish town of Arimathea Joseph of Arimathea He was a member of the council a good and righteous man Who had not consented to their decision in action and he was looking for the kingdom of God This man went to pile an ass for the body of Jesus. Where's the bot? You know, we need to give him a proper barrier Then he took it down and wrapped it in a linen shroud and laid him in a tomb cut in stone where no one had ever been laid It was the day of preparation in the Sabbath was beginning The woman who had come with him from Gali followed and saw the tomb and how his body was laid And they returned and prepared spices and ointments on the Sabbath they rested According to the commandment we just witnessed and read about the gruesome crucifixion of Jesus Christ And tomorrow to end this in the series We're gonna we're gonna read about the victorious resurrection of Jesus Christ Guys, I pray that Luke 23 was an encouragement to you guys and we'll see you guys tomorrow for Luke Chapter 24.
