How many names father maximize? And you're listening to the bible in a year podcast we encountered god's voice and live life to the ends of scripture the bible in a year podcast write to action using the great adventure vivo timing will read all away from genesis is to revelation, discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit. And to that story today, IT is day three hundred and twenty.

We have only this day and tomorrow left for the gospel look. And then we launched, into the last age, the church, now, essentially, and that is great for reading. Look, chapter twenty to chapter twenty two, first thirty eight, and they will pick up and conclude the ghost of of, of tomorrow morning, tomorrow, whenever you listen. Adults, well, as problems after twenty six versus seventy three.

Nineteen, as always, the ebel translation on reading from is the revised tender version second cathos edition i'm using A L to down bible can visit know that a lot of you have good do not subscribe to this point cast but um you know what happens is in these last couple months if you I think there maybe five thousand reviews of the podcast, if you were to go to itunes and everyone who is listening today, we're to review IT again. Give IT maybe five stars. I don't know, you don't think even five stars, but did that what would happen is IT would bump back up to maybe the top five, who knows, maybe even higher than top five because sometimes um they look at the algorithm and see not just how many downloads are but how many people are reviewing IT.

So i'm not saying if I have to but I can be the good at a fun little end of the year situation where you could just say i'm going to will go down there, do that you don't have to. Obviously this is for you. This is for the lord.

It's day three hundred and twenty were reading loop chapter twenty to chapter twenty two over thirty eight, as well as program twenty six perses seventeen through nineteen the gospel according to look chap twenty the authority of jesus questioned one day as he was teaching the people in the temple and preaching the gospel the chief priests and describes with the elders came up and said to me, tell us by what authority you do these things, or who IT is that gave you this authority? He answered them. I also will ask you a question.

Now tell me, was the baptism of john from heaven or from men? And they discussed with one another saying, if we say from heaven, he will say, why did you not believe him? But if we say from men, all the people will stoned us.

But they are convinced that john was a profit. So they answered that they did not know where I was from a and jesus said to them, neither will I tell you by what authority I do. These things, the parable of the wicked tenants.

And he began to tell the people this parable, a man planted a ventured, at least IT, to tenants and went into another country for a long time. When the time came, he said a servant to the tenants that they should give him some of the fruit of the ventured, but the tenants beat him and sent him away, and he handed, and he sent another servant him. Also, they beat intreated chain fully and sent him away empty handed.

And he sent yet a third. This one, they wounded and cast out. Then the owner of the ventures said, what should I do? I will send my beloved son IT.

Maybe they will respect him. But when the tenants saw him, they said to themselves, this is the air, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours. And they cast him out of the vineyard and killed him.

What then will the owner of the vineet do to them? He will come and destroy those tenants and give the ventured to others. When they heard this, they said, god forbid.

But he looked at them and said, what then is this that is written? The very stone which the builders rejected has become the corner stone. Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken into pieces, but when IT falls on anyone, IT will crush him.

The question about paying taxes describes. And the chief priests tried to delay hands on him at that very hour, but they feared at the people, for they perceived that he had told this parable against them. So they watched him and sent spies who pretended IT to be sincere, that they might take hold of what he said so as to deliver him up to the authority and jurisdiction of the governor.

They asked him, teacher, we know that you speak and teach rightly and show no partiality, but truly teach the way of god is at law of for us to give tribute to season or not. But he perceived the crafting ss and said of them, show me a coin whose lightness and inscription has IT. They said, scissors.

He said to them, then render the scissors, the things that are scissors, and to god, the things that are god. And they were not able, in the presence of the people, to catch him by what he said, but marveling at his answer, they were silent. The question about man's resurrection, they came to him some sauces, those who say that there is no resurrection, and they asked them a question, saying, teacher moses, vote for us that if a man's brother dies having a wife but no children, the man must take the wife and raise up children for his brother.

Now there were seven brothers. The first took a wife and died without children, and the second and third tooker, and likewise all seven, left no children and died afterward. The woman also died in the resurrection. Therefore, whose wife will the woman be for? The seven had her as wife, and jesus said to them, the sons of this age, mary, and are given in marriage.

But those who are accounted worthy to attain to that age and to the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor given in marriage, for they cannot die anymore because they are equal to Angels and are sons of god being sons of the resurrection. But that the dead are raised. Even moses showed in the passage about the bush where he calls the lord.

They got of iraq. M and they got of iraq and the god of Jacob. Now he is not god of the dead, but of the living for all live to him. And some of the describes answered, teacher, you have spoken well for they no longer dared to ask him any question, a question about the master, but he said to them, how can they say that the Christ is David sun for David himself says in the book of songs, the lord said to my lord, sit at my right till I make your enemies a stool for your feet. David thus calls him lord.

So how is his son? Jesus denounces the apoStacy of describes and in the hearing of all the people, he said with the cy ples, beware of the scribes who like to go about in long robes and love valuations in the marketplaces and the best seats in the cinna's gues and the places of honor at feast who have our willows houses and for a pretense, make long prayers. They will receive the greater condemnation.

Chapter twenty one, the windows offering. He looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury. And he saw a poor widow put in two copper coins. And he said, truly, I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them, for they all contributed out of their abundance, but SHE out of her poverty, put in all the living that he had the destruction of the temple for told, and some spoke of the temple how IT was a dorn with noble stones and offerings. He said, as for these things, which you see, the days will come when there should not be left here, one stone upon another that will not thrown down.

And they asked him, teacher, when will this be? And what will be the sign when this is about to take place? And he said, take heed that you are not let us play for many will come in my name saying, I am he and the time is at hand, do not go after them.

And when you hear wars and tubs, do not be terrified, for this must first take place, but the end will not be at once science and persecutions. Then he said to them, nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, and in various places, famines and pestilences.

And there will be terrorists and great signs from heaven, but before all this, they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons. And you will be brought before kings and governors for my names at sake. This will be a time for you to bear testimony settlement, therefore, in your minds, not to meditate beforehand.

How to answer for, I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which none of your adversity will be able to withstand or contradict. You will be delivered up even by parents and brothers and king's men and friends, and some of you they will put to death. You will be hated by all for my name's sake.

But not a hair of your head will perish by your endurance. You will gain your lives. The destruction of jerusalem were told, but when you see jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its deceleration has come here, then let those were in juda fleet to the mountains, and let those were inside the city depart, and let not those were out in the country enter IT.

For these are days of vengeance to fully all that is written, a last for those who are with child and for those who are nursing in those days for great distress, shall be upon the earth and rap upon these people. And they will fall by the edge of the word and be LED captive among all nations. And jerusalem will be thrown down by the gene tiles until the times of the gentiles are fulfilled, the coming of the sun of ban.

And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars and upon the earth, distress of nations and perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, men fainting with fear and with for boating of what is coming on the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the sun of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Now, when these things begin to take place, look up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near the lesson of the Victory.

And he told them a parable, look at the Victory and all the trees. As soon as they come out in leaf, you see for yourselves and know that the summer is already near. So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that the kingdom of god is near.

Truly, I say to you, this generation will not pass away till all has taken place. Heaven and earth will pass away. But my words will not pass away exportation to watchfulness, but take heed to yourselves, let your hearts to be weight down with discipline and drunkenness.

Ss, and cares of this life and that they come upon you suddenly like a snail for IT will come upon all who dwell upon the face of the whole earth. But watch at all times praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that will take place to stand before the sun of man. And every day he was teaching in the temple, but at night he went out, enlarged on the mount, called all of IT, and early in the morning, all the people came to him in the temple to hear him.

Chapter twenty two, the conspiracy to kill jesus, now the feast of unlove and bread, near which is called the past over. And the chief priests and the scribes we're seeking how to put him to death for they feared the people. Then sand entered into judice, called the screen who was up the number of the twelve.

He went away and conferred with the chief priests and captains how he might betray him to them, and they were glad and engaged to give him money. So he agreed and sought an opportunity to betray him to them. In the absence of the multitude, the preparation of the password then came the day of a love and bread on which the past over lam had to be sacrificed.

So jesus sent Peter and john saying, go and prepare the past over forest that we may eat IT. They said to him, where will you have us prepared? He said to them, behold, when you have entered the city, a man Carrying a job, water will meet you, follow him into the house, switched, enters and tell the householder.

The teacher says to you, where is the guestroom where I am to eat the past over with my disciples. And he will show you a large upper room furnished there, make ready. And they went and found IT as he had told them, and they prepared the past over jesus institutes the ukridge. And when the hour came, he SAT at table and is a puzzles with him. And he said to them, I have honest, sly desired to eat.

This passed over with you before I suffer, for I tell you, I shall not eat IT until IT is fulfilled in the kingdom of god and he took a chAlice and when he had given thanks, he said, take this and divided among yourselves, for I tell you that from now on, I shall not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of god comes and he took bread and when he had given thanks, he broke IT and gave IT to them, saying, this is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembers of me and likewise the choice after supper saying this chAlice which is poured out for you is the new continent in my blood but we hold the hand of him who be traced me is with me on the table for the sun of man goes as IT has been determined, but vote to that man by whom he has betrayed. And they began to question one another.

Which of them IT was that would do this? The dispute about greatness, a dispute also arose among them. Which of them was to be regarded as the greatest? And he said to them, the kings of the gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those in authority over them are called benefactors.

But not so with you. Rather let the greatest among you become as the Youngest and the leader, as one who serves for, which is greater, one who sits that table. Or one who serves, is that not the one who sits that table? But I am among you. As one who serves you, are those who have continued with me in my trials, as my father are pointed, a kingdom for me.

So do I A point for you that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of israeli Peters denial for told Simon, Simon, behold, sin demanded to have you that he might sift you like wheat, but I ve prayed for you now your faith may not fail and when you have turned again, strengthen your breathin n and he said to him, lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death he said, I tell you, Peter, the cock will not crow this day until you three times deny that you know me, purse, bag and sd and he said to them, when I set you out with no purse or bag or sandals, did you lack anything? They said nothing, he said to them but now that him who is a purse ticket and likewise a bag and let him, who has no sort, sell his cloak and buy one for, I tell you that this scripture must be fulfilled in me. And he was reckoned with.

Transgressors, for what is written about me, has its fulfillment. And they said, look, lord, here are two sorts. And he said to them, IT is enough.

The book of drivers chapter twenty six versus seventeen through nineteen he who medals in a coral, not his own, is like one who takes a passing dog by the ears, like a madman who throws firebrands, arrows and death, is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, i'm only joking. Father, having give you Price glory, thank you so much for your word. Thank you for giving us this opportunity to walk with jesus as he gets closer and closer to entering into his passion.

Lord, thank you for letting us here. The true value of things, the true value of everything that is surrendered to you, the true value of when we give not only our first fruits, but our final fruits in place them into your hands, help us be watchful, help us be aware, help us be awake. Help us not to become drowsy, you to fall into the trap, just thinking or believing that this life will just keep going on endlessly, but help us to be vigilant, help us to be awake, help us to watch for you this day and every day. In jesus name pryme ayman and the name the father of the sun and of the only spirit men. Um sometimes as you know, three hundred and twenty days there are some problems that just you know they get so is a couple of them this a chapter twenty six and twenty seventeen through nineteen that two problems, basically seventeen is who medals on the coral, not his zone, is like one who takes a passing dog by the ears.

Yes, my Young business is one of the the upshot of this, like taking a passing dog by the ears, meaning, yeah, you don't know if this dog is a killer maybe the dog is going to do some destruction you have no idea I just taken the passing the other one though, this is good man um like a mad man who throws fire brands arrows and death is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, i'm only joking oh my gosh, how crazy is that? How accurate is that? You think that you're the book of proverb written all the way back, you know, maybe in the time of solon and you think, holy smokes, we still do that.

We do that all the time, so I say something and then I just kidding, fire starter, someone's life going to get in there and mess with them and then I just just get around, just joking and realize, yeah, there are some things that funny and there are some things that are not funny. And one of our tasks in matching and growing is coming to that place where we realized, ed, of the difference between IT was unna for me and what was indefinitely not funny and should not have been said or done. But all that be said here is the ghostly of loop.

Today we're getting closer and closer to the end of of the gospodin, the end jesus giving up his entire self for us. One of the things that I think is really so powerful, i'd love not only all of the gospel luke, but you also have we have these, the windows offering at the beginning of temperate twenty one. And that sense of, here he is.

And he puts in two small coins, two copper coins, couple cents, couple pennies. But jesus praises that because he is highlighting the fact that it's not necessarily how much we give is how much we love. Again, god doesn't judge the size of our our gift as much as IT is the size or heart size of the heart that's offering the gift.

And and we recognized that we we know so much about first fruits. We also, I preach on this the other week over longer was for but that sense of here we are called the gift got our first fruits, that first ten percent right um our time, our talent, our treasure. But here god highlights in this parable, not parable, his words about this woman who actually did in chapter.

They were also called to give, got our final fruits that our whole lives were meant to be his and that sense of how can I do that? How can I make myself entire gift to him, especially when I have so little to offer um yet we do that when we give him our interruptions. We do that when we give him what call passive mortifications active notifications of the one we choose.

And choosing to tie them, choosing too fast and choosing to pray. I'm choosing to do these things that you know caused me to die a little bit. But passive modifications are when we accept the pennies that chose us in.

I O S like to think of those as interactions, the things that I didn't choose, both of them. Can you ify us? And seems like the first fruit is good. That active modification that um we plan out and choose that does so much to pure fier hearts, but then so does are pass of purifications that do so much to purifier hearts where it's like, okay, lord, i'm just going to CoOperate with you. Here's the last thing.

There is a prayer at the end of chapter twenty two, kind of in middle, I guess, of chapter twenty two, where she's turns to Peter and he is Simon. Simon, behold they and demanded to have you that he might shift you like wheat. But I have played for you that your fake may not fail, and when you've turned again, strengthen your brothers.

N this is so incredible important because we don't get IT in english, but it's true in the origin. Inal greek IT is Simon. Simon, behold, sidon demanded to have you all.

So it's IT plural. Have you all, all the the cycles, all the apostles, that he might sift all of you again? That's plural.

All of you like weed. And then the next first jesus goes to singular. But I have played for you, Peter.

You individually singular, that your faith individual singular may not fail. And when you singular have returned again, strengthen your brethren. There is something so incredible about this fact that jesus predicts Simons betrayal, verdict Peters failure.

And he says, yeah, wants the whole thing state and wants all of you. And that's the truth. Yeah, we have an enemy. The enemy desires, all of us get taken out. He desires that every single one of us has our faith stolen.

He desires to destroy every outs of love we have for each other and every ounce of love we have for god in our hearts. He wants nothing more than to steal, kill and destroy all of us. And then jesus was on to say, but I prayed for you, singular, Peter.

This is the role of the all habit, right? This is the role of the first pope. This is the role the pope now. But in this case, in particular, in luke twenty two, he was the role that first pope of Peter.

But I played for you that your faith may not fail when you've turned again, when you've come back to me, basically strengthen your brothers and think about how incredible IT would be to be Peter and to say, yeah, the midst of all this trial, in the midst of all this danger, it's all this failure you can trust. Jesus, how do you know? Because I betrayed him the night my best friend in the world needed me.

I denied even knowing him. So you want a witnessed mercy there. IT is right there.

I want a witness is to, what does he like to to lean into love and to let yourself be loved in the mister failure? There is right there. It's not a claim to being impeccable, right? It's not a claim to Cindy's ness.

It's not a claim to say to say, Simon, Peter can never claim I was so good that god love me. Why do we have this role because i'm so holy. No IT.

He only can claim that Grace, he can only claim when I was at my weakest and my lowest god was there for me, he said. He prayed for me specifically, so that when I came back to his heart, I could strengthen my brethren. En, and this is the truth for you right now.

Right now, for all of us, our lives will be marked with disaster. There may even be public scandal, public sin. That is a part of your story. But here's jesus I might do to hear the words of jesus to that first pope as words do you, that when you've turned back and praying for you, that when you've turned back, even in the most of public disaster and makes the public sin, public scandal, strength in your brother man, let them know that my mercy is without end. And I still love them.

Because right now, even if you're at the bottom in the gutters and it's all you're fault to, even you have all of these wounds and there's self inflicted wounds, the truth of the matter is, here is jesus saying, i'm praying for you, praying for you come back, trust in my love, trust in my mercy, trust in me. And it's i'm praying for you and that's why I ask me to pray for me when that day comes, got willing and never does but and that day comes that we can turn back to the lord and drinking in each other. I'm praying for you.

Please pray for me. Money for the mike. I cannot wait to see him tomorrow, our final day of looks. Gotbaum, galeas.
