00:07:30.100 --> 00:07:35.079
Usually<00:07:30.399><c> the</c><00:07:30.639><c> viewpoint</c><00:07:31.040><c> is</c><00:07:31.699><c> from</c><00:07:32.259><c> the</c><00:07:32.480><c> ground,</c><00:07:34.579><c> looking</c><00:07:34.779><c> up</c>

00:09:42.980 --> 00:09:49.399
we<00:09:43.220><c> find</c><00:09:43.460><c> that</c><00:09:43.639><c> there's</c><00:09:43.779><c> actually</c><00:09:44.100><c> very</c><00:09:44.580><c> little</c><00:09:45.879><c> information,</c><00:09:46.840><c> there's</c><00:09:46.940><c> very</c><00:09:47.419><c> little</c><00:09:47.779><c> detail</c><00:09:48.360><c> about</c><00:09:49.080><c> the</c>

And<00:09:57.500><c> I</c><00:09:57.659><c> think</c><00:09:57.779><c> it's</c><00:09:58.000><c> out</c><00:09:58.159><c> of</c><00:09:58.379><c> love</c><00:09:58.899><c> for</c><00:10:00.019><c> us.</c>

00:10:00.740 --> 00:10:11.940
God<00:10:01.860><c> has</c><00:10:02.679><c> spared</c><00:10:03.059><c> us</c><00:10:04.059><c> that</c><00:10:05.620><c> pain</c><00:10:06.220><c> of</c><00:10:09.740><c> some</c><00:10:10.659><c> of</c><00:10:10.759><c> the</c><00:10:10.860><c> most</c><00:10:11.139><c> intense</c><00:10:11.480><c> agony</c>

00:10:32.100 --> 00:10:34.779
because<00:10:32.320><c> that</c><00:10:32.519><c> is</c><00:10:32.720><c> what</c><00:10:32.940><c> Matthew,</c><00:10:33.480><c> Mark</c><00:10:33.620><c> and</c><00:10:33.799><c> Luke</c><00:10:33.980><c> and</c><00:10:34.179><c> John</c>

00:11:01.899 --> 00:11:06.120
And<00:11:02.240><c> like</c><00:11:02.399><c> He</c><00:11:02.600><c> did</c><00:11:02.759><c> often</c><00:11:03.139><c> during</c><00:11:03.559><c> His</c><00:11:04.080><c> trials,</c><00:11:04.500><c> He</c><00:11:04.639><c> doesn't</c><00:11:05.480><c> respond,</c>

knows<00:13:12.740><c> that</c><00:13:13.179><c> God</c><00:13:13.440><c> is</c><00:13:13.639><c> in</c><00:13:14.000><c> control.</c>

00:13:15.580 --> 00:13:18.120

00:13:26.820 --> 00:13:32.139
He<00:13:27.500><c> knows</c><00:13:27.879><c> that</c><00:13:28.159><c> all</c><00:13:28.379><c> things</c><00:13:28.759><c> work</c><00:13:29.100><c> together</c><00:13:29.620><c> for</c><00:13:30.059><c> good</c><00:13:30.679><c> of</c>

This<00:13:48.480><c> first</c><00:13:48.940><c> prayer</c><00:13:49.399><c> of</c><00:13:49.659><c> Jesus</c><00:13:50.100><c> from</c><00:13:50.340><c> the</c><00:13:50.600><c> cross,</c><00:13:50.919><c> it's</c><00:13:50.980><c> not</c>

00:13:53.480 --> 00:13:58.100
it's<00:13:54.120><c> about</c><00:13:54.539><c> others.</c><00:13:55.000><c> He's</c><00:13:55.320><c> not</c><00:13:56.139><c> spiraling</c><00:13:56.820><c> ever</c><00:13:57.200><c> inward</c><00:13:57.659><c> as</c>

00:13:59.679 --> 00:14:05.639
He's<00:13:59.960><c> not</c><00:14:00.200><c> lost</c><00:14:00.580><c> in</c><00:14:00.860><c> Himself.</c><00:14:02.639><c> His</c><00:14:02.980><c> mind</c><00:14:03.480><c> is</c><00:14:03.720><c> on</c><00:14:03.960><c> God</c><00:14:04.480><c> and</c><00:14:05.379><c> on</c>

other<00:14:05.879><c> people.</c>

00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:13.139
That's<00:14:10.159><c> such</c><00:14:10.299><c> a</c><00:14:10.539><c> challenge,</c><00:14:10.899><c> isn't</c><00:14:11.039><c> it,</c><00:14:11.419><c> for</c><00:14:11.659><c> us</c><00:14:12.100><c> in</c><00:14:12.360><c> our</c><00:14:12.559><c> own</c><00:14:12.779><c> suffering,</c>

in<00:14:13.419><c> our</c><00:14:13.600><c> own</c><00:14:15.100><c> challenges</c><00:14:15.740><c> that</c><00:14:16.019><c> we</c><00:14:16.240><c> face</c><00:14:16.460><c> in</c><00:14:16.679><c> our</c><00:14:16.860><c> lives.</c>

00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:25.700
It's<00:14:18.159><c> so</c><00:14:18.460><c> easy</c><00:14:19.080><c> to</c><00:14:21.039><c> get</c><00:14:21.659><c> stuck</c><00:14:21.899><c> on</c><00:14:22.159><c> ourselves</c><00:14:23.039><c> in</c><00:14:24.799><c> the</c><00:14:24.919><c> situation</c><00:14:25.480><c> that</c>

00:14:25.700 --> 00:14:27.259
we're<00:14:25.940><c> in.</c>

00:14:27.940 --> 00:14:31.759
But<00:14:28.080><c> Christ</c><00:14:28.340><c> teaches</c><00:14:28.700><c> us</c><00:14:29.139><c> a</c><00:14:29.379><c> better</c><00:14:29.600><c> way</c><00:14:29.980><c> to</c><00:14:30.679><c> live</c><00:14:31.039><c> through</c>

00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:33.259
our<00:14:32.259><c> suffering,</c>

00:14:33.539 --> 00:14:38.980
to<00:14:34.440><c> set</c><00:14:34.659><c> our</c><00:14:34.919><c> hearts</c><00:14:35.179><c> on</c><00:14:35.740><c> God</c><00:14:36.340><c> and</c><00:14:37.480><c> on</c><00:14:37.960><c> others.</c>

00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:44.639
And<00:14:42.080><c> let's</c><00:14:42.379><c> consider</c><00:14:42.799><c> Christ's</c><00:14:43.659><c> forgiveness</c><00:14:43.980><c> here.</c>

00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:49.519
It's<00:14:45.679><c> immediacy,</c><00:14:46.600><c> it's</c><00:14:46.860><c> depth,</c><00:14:47.299><c> it's</c><00:14:47.860><c> expanse.</c>

00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:54.639
When<00:14:53.200><c> do</c><00:14:53.419><c> we</c><00:14:53.639><c> forgive?</c>

00:14:57.279 --> 00:15:00.080
It<00:14:57.860><c> can</c><00:14:58.059><c> take</c><00:14:58.279><c> a</c><00:14:58.440><c> while,</c><00:14:58.779><c> can't</c><00:14:58.960><c> it?</c>

00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:09.960
Here<00:15:04.240><c> we</c><00:15:04.360><c> have</c><00:15:04.519><c> Jesus</c><00:15:05.340><c> in</c><00:15:06.360><c> the</c><00:15:06.639><c> midst</c><00:15:07.139><c> of</c><00:15:08.159><c> being</c><00:15:08.500><c> wronged,</c>

00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:14.740
forgiving<00:15:10.320><c> those</c><00:15:11.159><c> who</c><00:15:11.860><c> are</c><00:15:11.960><c> doing</c><00:15:12.159><c> it,</c><00:15:13.100><c> seeking</c><00:15:13.399><c> their</c><00:15:13.679><c> forgiveness.</c>

00:15:17.220 --> 00:15:23.259
It's<00:15:17.919><c> a</c><00:15:18.039><c> great</c><00:15:18.159><c> lesson</c><00:15:18.519><c> for</c><00:15:18.759><c> us</c><00:15:19.120><c> to</c><00:15:20.799><c> build</c><00:15:21.659><c> and</c><00:15:22.019><c> develop</c><00:15:22.519><c> a</c>

00:15:43.899 --> 00:15:50.259
There<00:15:44.519><c> may</c><00:15:44.740><c> be</c><00:15:44.899><c> some</c><00:15:45.139><c> people</c><00:15:46.159><c> who</c><00:15:47.000><c> we</c><00:15:47.460><c> are</c><00:15:47.799><c> still</c><00:15:48.500><c> to</c><00:15:49.100><c> forgive.</c>

00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:59.539
And<00:15:53.860><c> we</c><00:15:54.039><c> live</c><00:15:54.279><c> with</c><00:15:54.559><c> this</c><00:15:54.919><c> weight</c><00:15:55.340><c> of</c><00:15:56.679><c> anger,</c><00:15:57.940><c> of</c><00:15:58.759><c> disappointment.</c>

00:15:59.539 --> 00:16:05.080

It's<00:31:34.559><c> difficult,</c><00:31:35.160><c> isn't</c><00:31:35.339><c> it?</c><00:31:35.579><c> It's</c><00:31:36.099><c> hard</c><00:31:36.579><c> on</c><00:31:37.420><c> our</c><00:31:37.920><c> hearts</c><00:31:38.559><c> when</c><00:31:39.220><c> we</c>

00:31:39.440 --> 00:31:41.880
consider<00:31:39.759><c> what</c><00:31:40.019><c> Christ</c><00:31:40.380><c> has</c><00:31:40.640><c> done</c><00:31:40.799><c> for</c><00:31:41.019><c> us.</c>

00:31:44.579 --> 00:31:47.740
And<00:31:44.819><c> words</c><00:31:45.059><c> cannot</c><00:31:45.420><c> express</c><00:31:46.059><c> our</c><00:31:46.480><c> thankfulness</c><00:31:47.059><c> to</c><00:31:47.319><c> him</c><00:31:47.519><c> and</c>

00:31:47.740 --> 00:31:54.640

00:32:01.599 --> 00:32:11.759
In<00:32:03.000><c> John</c><00:32:03.299><c> chapter</c><00:32:04.380><c> 19</c><00:32:05.220><c> and</c><00:32:05.859><c> verse</c><00:32:06.180><c> 28,</c><00:32:07.740><c> we</c><00:32:08.059><c> have</c><00:32:08.920><c> recorded</c><00:32:10.299><c> some</c><00:32:11.599><c> of</c>

00:32:17.200 --> 00:32:24.859
He<00:32:18.059><c> says</c><00:32:18.640><c> in</c><00:32:21.000><c> this</c><00:32:21.299><c> passage,</c><00:32:22.160><c> we'll</c><00:32:23.240><c> just</c><00:32:23.500><c> have</c><00:32:23.960><c> a</c><00:32:24.500><c> look</c><00:32:24.660><c> at</c>

00:32:24.859 --> 00:32:26.400
these<00:32:25.299><c> words.</c>

00:32:27.920 --> 00:32:31.019
After<00:32:28.500><c> this,</c><00:32:29.059><c> Jesus,</c><00:32:29.519><c> knowing</c><00:32:29.680><c> that</c><00:32:29.940><c> all</c><00:32:30.039><c> was</c><00:32:30.319><c> now</c><00:32:30.579><c> finished,</c>

00:32:31.319 --> 00:32:35.880
said<00:32:31.460><c> to</c><00:32:31.759><c> fulfill</c><00:32:32.319><c> the</c><00:32:32.599><c> scripture,</c><00:32:34.119><c> I</c><00:32:34.900><c> first.</c>

00:32:36.539 --> 00:32:39.910
A<00:32:37.119><c> jar</c><00:32:37.700><c> full</c><00:32:38.019><c> of</c><00:32:38.259><c> sour</c><00:32:38.440><c> wine</c><00:32:38.799><c> stood</c><00:32:39.119><c> there.</c>

00:32:40.519 --> 00:32:44.720
So<00:32:40.740><c> they</c><00:32:41.059><c> put</c><00:32:41.240><c> a</c><00:32:41.519><c> sponge</c><00:32:41.880><c> full</c><00:32:42.200><c> of</c><00:32:42.500><c> sour</c><00:32:42.680><c> wine</c><00:32:42.960><c> on</c><00:32:43.160><c> a</c><00:32:43.380><c> hissop</c><00:32:43.619><c> branch</c><00:32:43.980><c> and</c><00:32:44.259><c> held</c><00:32:44.400><c> it</c>

00:32:44.720 --> 00:32:46.019
to<00:32:44.920><c> his</c><00:32:45.180><c> mouth.</c>

00:32:46.460 --> 00:32:49.160
And<00:32:46.740><c> when</c><00:32:46.880><c> Jesus</c><00:32:47.220><c> had</c><00:32:47.500><c> received</c><00:32:47.859><c> the</c><00:32:48.160><c> sour</c><00:32:48.339><c> wine,</c><00:32:48.599><c> he</c><00:32:48.819><c> said,</c>

00:32:49.319 --> 00:32:50.559
it<00:32:49.640><c> is</c><00:32:50.019><c> finished.</c>

00:32:51.000 --> 00:32:54.799
And<00:32:51.160><c> he</c><00:32:51.319><c> bowed</c><00:32:51.519><c> his</c><00:32:51.779><c> head</c><00:32:52.140><c> and</c><00:32:52.660><c> gave</c><00:32:52.859><c> up</c><00:32:53.440><c> his</c><00:32:53.839><c> spirits.</c>

00:32:56.839 --> 00:33:02.420
So<00:32:57.319><c> here</c><00:32:57.440><c> we</c><00:32:57.599><c> have</c><00:32:57.779><c> two</c><00:32:59.079><c> words</c><00:32:59.519><c> of</c><00:32:59.799><c> Christ,</c><00:33:00.740><c> two</c><00:33:01.400><c> of</c><00:33:01.559><c> the</c><00:33:01.960><c> sayings</c><00:33:02.220><c> of</c>

00:33:02.420 --> 00:33:03.480
Christ<00:33:02.640><c> from</c><00:33:02.839><c> the</c><00:33:03.079><c> cross.</c>

00:33:03.480 --> 00:33:07.480
The<00:33:04.660><c> first</c><00:33:04.920><c> is,</c><00:33:05.640><c> here</c><00:33:05.940><c> is,</c><00:33:06.460><c> I</c><00:33:06.519><c> thirst.</c>

00:33:09.299 --> 00:33:14.720
Christ<00:33:09.980><c> at</c><00:33:10.400><c> this</c><00:33:10.720><c> point</c><00:33:11.200><c> is</c><00:33:12.940><c> an</c><00:33:13.480><c> empty</c><00:33:13.859><c> cup.</c>

00:33:16.640 --> 00:33:20.559
You<00:33:16.880><c> know,</c><00:33:16.880><c> when</c><00:33:17.019><c> he</c><00:33:17.180><c> asks</c><00:33:17.460><c> in</c><00:33:17.660><c> the</c><00:33:17.859><c> garden</c><00:33:18.339><c> if</c><00:33:19.660><c> this</c><00:33:20.019><c> cup</c><00:33:20.200><c> can</c>

00:33:20.559 --> 00:33:28.799
pass<00:33:21.279><c> from</c><00:33:21.740><c> him,</c><00:33:23.660><c> if</c><00:33:24.000><c> it</c><00:33:25.079><c> can</c><00:33:25.220><c> be</c><00:33:25.440><c> another</c><00:33:25.680><c> way,</c><00:33:28.180><c> well,</c><00:33:28.539><c> there</c>

00:33:28.799 --> 00:33:30.240
was<00:33:29.039><c> no</c><00:33:29.240><c> other</c><00:33:29.400><c> way.</c>

00:33:31.119 --> 00:33:35.369
And<00:33:31.900><c> the</c><00:33:32.099><c> cup</c><00:33:32.380><c> has</c><00:33:32.619><c> been</c><00:33:33.700><c> fully</c><00:33:34.480><c> emptied.</c>

00:33:36.319 --> 00:33:41.380
His<00:33:36.480><c> cup,</c><00:33:36.859><c> his</c><00:33:37.160><c> soul</c><00:33:37.680><c> was</c><00:33:38.720><c> poured</c><00:33:39.059><c> out</c><00:33:39.759><c> to</c><00:33:40.019><c> death,</c><00:33:40.940><c> we're</c><00:33:41.160><c> told</c>

00:33:41.380 --> 00:33:42.599
in<00:33:41.579><c> Isaiah.</c>

00:33:43.559 --> 00:33:46.039
But<00:33:43.779><c> it</c><00:33:44.000><c> wasn't</c><00:33:44.259><c> wasted,</c><00:33:44.880><c> was</c><00:33:44.980><c> it?</c>

00:33:47.059 --> 00:33:52.039
It<00:33:47.539><c> was</c><00:33:47.880><c> poured</c><00:33:48.079><c> out</c><00:33:48.759><c> that</c><00:33:49.420><c> our</c><00:33:49.779><c> cup</c><00:33:50.319><c> might</c><00:33:50.980><c> overflow.</c>

00:33:53.700 --> 00:33:59.440
All<00:33:54.359><c> that</c><00:33:55.019><c> Christ</c><00:33:55.359><c> knew</c><00:33:55.660><c> about</c><00:33:55.900><c> his</c><00:33:56.259><c> trial,</c><00:33:57.119><c> about</c><00:33:57.740><c> his</c><00:33:58.380><c> execution,</c><00:33:59.319><c> that</c>

00:33:59.440 --> 00:34:06.720
the<00:33:59.680><c> many</c><00:34:00.220><c> details</c><00:34:00.940><c> had</c><00:34:01.359><c> each</c><00:34:02.180><c> one</c><00:34:03.119><c> by</c><00:34:03.980><c> one</c><00:34:04.900><c> come</c><00:34:05.359><c> to</c><00:34:05.599><c> pass.</c>

00:34:08.059 --> 00:34:11.699
And<00:34:08.579><c> when</c><00:34:08.679><c> he</c><00:34:08.820><c> was</c><00:34:09.039><c> first</c><00:34:09.380><c> offered</c><00:34:09.820><c> a</c><00:34:10.440><c> drink,</c><00:34:10.860><c> as</c><00:34:11.059><c> we</c><00:34:11.260><c> read</c><00:34:11.420><c> in</c>

00:34:11.699 --> 00:34:13.500
Mark,<00:34:12.039><c> he</c><00:34:12.420><c> declined.</c>

00:34:13.679 --> 00:34:15.940
He<00:34:13.860><c> knew</c><00:34:14.179><c> that</c><00:34:14.380><c> he</c><00:34:14.500><c> would</c><00:34:14.679><c> have</c><00:34:14.840><c> a</c><00:34:15.039><c> drink.</c>

00:34:17.059 --> 00:34:18.519
It's<00:34:17.320><c> incredible</c><00:34:17.619><c> to</c><00:34:17.880><c> think,</c><00:34:18.000><c> isn't</c><00:34:18.199><c> it?</c>

00:34:18.519 --> 00:34:22.099
As<00:34:18.719><c> these</c><00:34:19.000><c> events</c><00:34:19.380><c> unfolded,</c><00:34:20.460><c> he</c><00:34:21.079><c> knew</c><00:34:21.300><c> those</c><00:34:21.599><c> things</c><00:34:21.880><c> that</c>

00:34:22.099 --> 00:34:23.940
he<00:34:22.719><c> would</c><00:34:22.940><c> do.</c>

00:34:26.019 --> 00:34:31.940
What<00:34:26.300><c> a</c><00:34:26.619><c> strange</c><00:34:26.900><c> sort</c><00:34:27.099><c> of</c><00:34:27.760><c> experience</c><00:34:28.340><c> to</c><00:34:28.659><c> have,</c><00:34:30.780><c> both</c><00:34:31.019><c> fulfilling</c><00:34:31.539><c> those</c>

00:34:31.940 --> 00:34:34.059
words,<00:34:32.559><c> but</c><00:34:33.000><c> living</c><00:34:33.300><c> those</c><00:34:33.699><c> words.</c>

00:34:34.159 --> 00:34:37.199
They<00:34:34.320><c> were</c><00:34:34.659><c> his</c><00:34:35.059><c> experiences,</c><00:34:35.800><c> they</c><00:34:35.900><c> were</c><00:34:36.179><c> his</c><00:34:36.619><c> emotions,</c>

00:34:37.320 --> 00:34:41.860
they<00:34:37.500><c> were</c><00:34:37.719><c> his</c><00:34:38.079><c> words,</c><00:34:39.340><c> they</c><00:34:39.619><c> were</c><00:34:40.039><c> his</c><00:34:40.440><c> feelings.</c>

00:34:46.059 --> 00:34:49.460
He<00:34:46.820><c> experienced</c><00:34:47.440><c> it</c><00:34:47.679><c> all</c><00:34:47.820><c> becoming</c><00:34:48.360><c> a</c><00:34:49.039><c> reality.</c>

00:34:49.579 --> 00:34:53.719
And<00:34:49.619><c> there</c><00:34:49.739><c> was</c><00:34:49.920><c> just</c><00:34:50.219><c> one</c><00:34:50.619><c> thing</c><00:34:51.539><c> yet</c><00:34:52.079><c> to</c><00:34:52.420><c> happen.</c>

00:34:58.039 --> 00:35:01.619
How<00:34:58.400><c> incredible</c><00:34:58.900><c> the</c><00:34:59.159><c> Word</c><00:34:59.280><c> of</c><00:34:59.440><c> God</c><00:34:59.599><c> is.</c>

00:35:03.260 --> 00:35:09.800
Through<00:35:04.059><c> his</c><00:35:04.860><c> suffering,</c><00:35:06.980><c> the</c><00:35:07.079><c> Word</c><00:35:07.380><c> of</c><00:35:07.559><c> his</c><00:35:07.800><c> Father</c><00:35:08.239><c> continually</c><00:35:09.079><c> coursed</c>

00:35:09.800 --> 00:35:12.000
through<00:35:10.119><c> the</c><00:35:10.340><c> mind</c><00:35:10.599><c> of</c><00:35:10.820><c> Christ.</c>

00:35:13.940 --> 00:35:17.719
And<00:35:14.579><c> we</c><00:35:14.760><c> truly</c><00:35:14.980><c> see</c><00:35:15.480><c> it</c><00:35:15.860><c> made</c><00:35:16.099><c> flesh</c><00:35:16.599><c> in</c><00:35:16.780><c> him.</c>

00:35:18.380 --> 00:35:19.960
He<00:35:18.780><c> lived</c><00:35:19.059><c> it.</c>

00:35:20.260 --> 00:35:22.059
He<00:35:20.659><c> breathed</c><00:35:21.119><c> it.</c>

00:35:22.780 --> 00:35:25.980
