  • To arrest and crucify." and jesus knew it.
  • 00:03:53.980 --> 00:03:54.914
  • And jesus knew it. he knew it when
  • 00:03:54.981 --> 00:03:55.581

  • In the upper room the night before that he would betray him.
  • 00:03:58.584 --> 00:04:00.420
  • Before that he would betray him. he knew it when he was in
  • 00:04:00.486 --> 00:04:01.888
  • He knew it when he was in the garden praying and he
  • 00:04:01.954 --> 00:04:03.323
  • The garden praying and he heard him and saw him coming.
  • 00:04:03.389 --> 00:04:04.991
  • Heard him and saw him coming. and jesus stood and when he came
  • 00:04:05.058 --> 00:04:07.393
  • And jesus stood and when he came and kissed him on the cheek.
  • 00:04:07.460 --> 00:04:08.594
  • And kissed him on the cheek. jesus, the bible said,
  • 00:04:08.661 --> 00:04:09.862
  • Jesus, the bible said, kissed him and said, "friend."
  • 00:04:09.929 --> 00:04:13.366
  • Kissed him and said, "friend." jesus called him friend.
  • 00:04:13.433 --> 00:04:15.268
  • Jesus called him friend. sometimes when things happen
  • 00:04:15.335 --> 00:04:18.471
  • Sometimes when things happen that hurt you, you just have
  • 00:04:18.538 --> 00:04:20.206
  • That hurt you, you just have to kiss it and call it friend.
  • 00:04:20.273 --> 00:04:22.975
  • To kiss it and call it friend. because you have to understand
  • 00:04:23.042 --> 00:04:24.744
  • Because you have to understand if it gets you closer to
  • 00:04:24.811 --> 00:04:26.579
  • If it gets you closer to the ultimate fulfillment
  • 00:04:26.646 --> 00:04:28.381
  • The ultimate fulfillment of the purpose of god
  • 00:04:28.448 --> 00:04:30.149
  • Of the purpose of god for your life,
  • 00:04:30.216 --> 00:04:30.917
  • For your life, judas was the key to jesus

  • Judas was the key to jesus ending up on the cross,
  • 00:04:33.453 --> 00:04:35.621
  • Ending up on the cross, and he kissed it
  • 00:04:35.688 --> 00:04:37.056
  • And he kissed it and called it friend.
  • 00:04:37.123 --> 00:04:38.391
  • And called it friend. sometimes painful, hurtful,
  • 00:04:38.458 --> 00:04:40.460
  • Sometimes painful, hurtful, ugly things come into our life.
  • 00:04:40.526 --> 00:04:42.929
  • Ugly things come into our life. just like joseph,
  • 00:04:42.995 --> 00:04:43.963
  • Just like joseph, he said to his brothers
  • 00:04:44.030 --> 00:04:45.898
  • He said to his brothers who had hurt him,
  • 00:04:45.965 --> 00:04:47.300
  • Who had hurt him, his own family
  • 00:04:47.367 --> 00:04:48.101
  • His own family so much he said,
  • 00:04:48.167 --> 00:04:49.936
  • So much he said, "i'mma put on the coat of love.
  • 00:04:50.002 --> 00:04:51.804
  • "i'mma put on the coat of love. you strip my coat off,
  • 00:04:51.871 --> 00:04:53.172
  • You strip my coat off, that coat of many colors.
  • 00:04:53.239 --> 00:04:54.440
  • That coat of many colors. but i choose to put the coat --
  • 00:04:54.507 --> 00:04:56.943
  • But i choose to put the coat -- overcoat of love on.
  • 00:04:57.009 --> 00:04:58.845
  • Overcoat of love on. and you meant it for my evil,
  • 00:04:58.911 --> 00:05:01.214
  • And you meant it for my evil, but i'mma kiss you
  • 00:05:01.280 --> 00:05:02.014
  • But i'mma kiss you and call you friend."
  • 00:05:02.081 --> 00:05:03.282
  • And call you friend." and he kissed them
  • 00:05:03.349 --> 00:05:04.050
  • And he kissed them and wept over 'em.
  • 00:05:04.117 --> 00:05:06.252
  • And wept over 'em. ephesians 4 put it this way,
  • 00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:08.421
  • Ephesians 4 put it this way, "be angry and sin not."
  • 00:05:08.488 --> 00:05:12.125
  • "be angry and sin not." it's okay to get
  • 00:05:12.191 --> 00:05:13.025
  • It's okay to get angry but he said,
  • 00:05:13.092 --> 00:05:14.093
  • Angry but he said, "don't let that anger
  • 00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:15.461
  • "don't let that anger get in your spirit.
  • 00:05:15.528 --> 00:05:17.330
  • Get in your spirit. don't let that anger
  • 00:05:17.397 --> 00:05:18.297
  • Don't let that anger turn you into somebody
  • 00:05:18.364 --> 00:05:20.066
  • Turn you into somebody that destroys every
  • 00:05:20.133 --> 00:05:21.567
  • That destroys every relationship because
  • 00:05:21.634 --> 00:05:22.802
  • Relationship because you couldn't get over
  • 00:05:22.869 --> 00:05:24.303
  • You couldn't get over what somebody did to you,
  • 00:05:24.370 --> 00:05:26.038
  • What somebody did to you, and it bleeds over into
  • 00:05:26.105 --> 00:05:27.440
  • And it bleeds over into every other relationship.
  • 00:05:27.507 --> 00:05:29.275

  • Is if that preacher would stand up
  • 00:08:26.452 --> 00:08:27.587
  • Would stand up and tell the people,
  • 00:08:27.653 --> 00:08:29.221
  • And tell the people, "you must forgive your enemies.

  • Began to shake. and suddenly death had to
  • 00:09:26.078 --> 00:09:27.647
  • And suddenly death had to give up some dead folks
  • 00:09:27.713 --> 00:09:28.881
  • Give up some dead folks and the bible said that
  • 00:09:28.948 --> 00:09:29.682
  • And the bible said that they walked around jerusalem.
  • 00:09:29.749 --> 00:09:32.084
  • They walked around jerusalem. dead people were raised
  • 00:09:32.151 --> 00:09:33.552
  • Dead people were raised from the dead when jesus said,
  • 00:09:33.619 --> 00:09:35.254
  • From the dead when jesus said, "it is finished."
