00:00:01.320 --> 00:00:04.020
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:04.020 --> 00:00:08.100
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:08.100 --> 00:00:11.310
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
4
00:00:11.310 --> 00:00:14.880
and your mind where the
word is the anchor in
5
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:16.830
uncertain times
6
00:00:16.830 --> 00:00:20.130
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
7
00:00:20.130 --> 00:00:21.570
We keep it simple,
8
00:00:21.570 --> 00:00:26.130
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
9
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:28.920 line:15%
a love that emboldens,
10
00:00:30.030 --> 00:00:32.190
and a mission that touches the world.
11
00:00:34.530 --> 00:00:36.090
Let's join Rick Renner.
12
00:00:38.400 --> 00:00:40.680
Welcome to today's program.
My name is Rick Renner.
13
00:00:40.680 --> 00:00:43.620
Thanks for letting me come
right into your space. Today,
14
00:00:43.620 --> 00:00:46.590
we're gonna continue this series called Easter,
15
00:00:46.590 --> 00:00:50.100
The Rest of the Story, there
is so much to the story
16
00:00:50.100 --> 00:00:52.560
of Easter that no one ever told me.
17
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:54.510
So I dove deep into this story,
18
00:00:54.510 --> 00:00:56.790
and today I am gonna share the next piece
19
00:00:56.790 --> 00:00:58.230
of this story with you.
20
00:00:58.230 --> 00:01:00.900
And we're going to see, as
you can see on the screen
21
00:01:00.900 --> 00:01:04.110
behind me, that moment
when Judas Iscariot came
22
00:01:04.110 --> 00:01:06.210
to the grotto in Gethsemane.
23
00:01:06.210 --> 00:01:09.900
It was a cave where Jesus
regularly assembled in the garden
24
00:01:09.900 --> 00:01:11.520
of Gethsemane with his disciples.
25
00:01:11.520 --> 00:01:15.870
And Judas came there with a
cohort of Romans soldiers,
26
00:01:15.870 --> 00:01:19.830
that's 300 to 600 Roman soldiers.
27
00:01:19.830 --> 00:01:22.980
Plus he came with officers
from the chief priests
28
00:01:22.980 --> 00:01:24.300
and the Pharisees.
29
00:01:24.300 --> 00:01:28.500
These were the temple police,
a fearful mob of police.
30
00:01:28.500 --> 00:01:31.590
And now Judas comes there with this army
31
00:01:31.590 --> 00:01:34.290
to arrest one man.
32
00:01:35.160 --> 00:01:39.450
That is how legendary was
the power of Jesus even
33
00:01:39.450 --> 00:01:43.080
during his lifetime that Judases Harriot
34
00:01:43.080 --> 00:01:47.220
and the religious leaders thought
it would take a small army
35
00:01:47.220 --> 00:01:48.900
to arrest him.
36
00:01:48.900 --> 00:01:53.430
That is how legendary
was the power of Jesus.
37
00:01:53.430 --> 00:01:55.980 line:15%
And my friends, he's the same
yesterday, today and forever.
38
00:01:55.980 --> 00:01:59.220 line:15%
The power that worked then
is still working today.
39
00:01:59.220 --> 00:02:02.940 line:15%
But when Judas came into
the grotto of Gethsemane
40
00:02:02.940 --> 00:02:05.610 line:15%
to betray him, he had given a signal
41
00:02:05.610 --> 00:02:09.330 line:15%
and said, I can betray him with a kiss.
42
00:02:09.330 --> 00:02:11.640
What a confused man.
43
00:02:11.640 --> 00:02:14.070
On one hand, he said,
we need to have an army.
44
00:02:14.070 --> 00:02:16.410
On the other hand, he said,
I think I can give him to you
45
00:02:16.410 --> 00:02:19.710
with a kiss that shows
how deceived he was.
46
00:02:19.710 --> 00:02:24.180
Deceived. People are always
confused people, but hey,
47
00:02:24.180 --> 00:02:27.300
before I really get into the
teaching, I wanna remind you
48
00:02:27.300 --> 00:02:29.190 line:15%
to reach out to us for prayer.
49
00:02:29.190 --> 00:02:32.040 line:15%
Jesus power is ready for you again.
50
00:02:32.040 --> 00:02:33.930 line:15%
He's the same yesterday,
today and forever.
51
00:02:33.930 --> 00:02:37.500 line:15%
His power that worked then
is ready to work right now.
52
00:02:37.500 --> 00:02:39.870 line:15%
And if you'll call the
number on the screen
53
00:02:39.870 --> 00:02:43.050 line:15%
or send us an email the
moment we hear from you,
54
00:02:43.050 --> 00:02:46.620 line:15%
we're gonna pray in
faith, Jesus is gonna move
55
00:02:46.620 --> 00:02:50.460 line:15%
and he is gonna release
his divine power to do
56
00:02:50.460 --> 00:02:51.960 line:15%
what needs to be done.
57
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:54.510 line:15%
So call the number or send us an email
58
00:02:54.510 --> 00:02:56.610 line:15%
and we will begin to pray.
59
00:02:56.610 --> 00:02:59.680
But before I get into the
teaching, listen to this.
60
00:03:00.580 --> 00:03:03.550 line:15%
Do you know the story of
Easter, the resurrection
61
00:03:03.550 --> 00:03:05.320
of Jesus, the empty tomb
62
00:03:05.320 --> 00:03:07.330 line:15%
and the appearances to the disciples?
63
00:03:07.330 --> 00:03:10.720 line:15%
But did you know that's
only part of the story?
64
00:03:10.720 --> 00:03:12.610
In Rick Renner's book, Easter -
65
00:03:12.610 --> 00:03:14.080 line:15%
The Rest of the Story,
66
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:16.240 line:15%
Rick delves into the lesser known details
67
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:19.000 line:15%
of the Easter story that
are often overlooked.
68
00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:21.700 line:15%
Details like who was Pontius Pilate?
69
00:03:21.700 --> 00:03:24.130
What really happened to
the garden of Gethsemane?
70
00:03:24.130 --> 00:03:26.410
What happened to the
temple when Jesus died?
71
00:03:26.410 --> 00:03:28.570
What exactly did the disciples witness on
72
00:03:28.570 --> 00:03:30.190
that miraculous morning?
73
00:03:30.190 --> 00:03:33.850 line:15%
Why Easter is the absolute
defining moment of our faith.

83
00:03:59.710 --> 00:04:03.610
In the last program we saw
the Judas Iscariot led a mob
84
00:04:03.610 --> 00:04:07.600
of militia to arrest Jesus inside the Grotto
85
00:04:07.600 --> 00:04:11.680
of Gethsemane, which was a
cave on the Mount of Olives.
86
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:15.700
And Jesus regularly went there
to meet with his disciples
87
00:04:15.700 --> 00:04:18.940
because it provided shelter
from inclement weather.
88
00:04:18.940 --> 00:04:22.810
And Judas knew that's
where he would find Jesus
89
00:04:22.810 --> 00:04:25.090
because he had been there
with Jesus so many times.
90
00:04:25.090 --> 00:04:29.770
And now he comes with a band
of men, the Greek word speira,
91
00:04:29.770 --> 00:04:33.370
which describes a Roman
cohort, which was 300
92
00:04:33.370 --> 00:04:34.900
to 600 men.
93
00:04:34.900 --> 00:04:38.350
Now maybe you've seen
films about this moment,
94
00:04:38.350 --> 00:04:41.530
and in those films it shows
Judas Iscariot showing up
95
00:04:41.530 --> 00:04:43.600
with just a handful of
soldiers, my friends,
96
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:45.130
that is absolutely wrong.
97
00:04:45.130 --> 00:04:47.770
He came with a Roman cohort,
98
00:04:47.770 --> 00:04:49.930
that's the Greek word which is used.
99
00:04:49.930 --> 00:04:54.880
It describes 300 to 600
Roman soldiers that are armed
100
00:04:54.880 --> 00:04:56.350
to the max.
101
00:04:56.350 --> 00:04:59.470
And the gospel of John 18 tells us, he also came
102
00:04:59.470 --> 00:05:02.710
with officers from the
chief priests and Pharisees.
103
00:05:02.710 --> 00:05:05.020
This was a fearsome police force
104
00:05:05.020 --> 00:05:06.490
that worked the Temple Mount.
105
00:05:06.490 --> 00:05:08.590
They were known to be brutal,
106
00:05:08.590 --> 00:05:10.810
and now they're added to the mix.
107
00:05:10.810 --> 00:05:13.870
So now Judas shows up
with somewhere between 300
108
00:05:13.870 --> 00:05:16.960
and 600 Roman soldiers armed to the max
109
00:05:16.960 --> 00:05:20.290
and with a police force
from the Temple Mount.
110
00:05:21.130 --> 00:05:25.360
And they must have jam packed
themselves into that grotto,
111
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:26.680
which is not so big.
112
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:29.860
In fact, they would've spilled
out into the stone passageway
113
00:05:29.860 --> 00:05:32.050
all the way out into the lower level.
114
00:05:32.050 --> 00:05:33.850
But they were all there
115
00:05:33.850 --> 00:05:38.710
with all their might just
in case Jesus released
116
00:05:38.710 --> 00:05:42.730
supernatural power to resist them.
117
00:05:42.730 --> 00:05:47.020
That is how legendary was
the power of Jesus even
118
00:05:47.020 --> 00:05:49.630
during his lifetime.
119
00:05:49.630 --> 00:05:52.660
And my friends, Jesus, according to Hebrews 13:
120
00:05:52.660 --> 00:05:54.580
8, is the same yesterday, today and forever.
121
00:05:54.580 --> 00:05:56.590
If he had power, he still has power.
122
00:05:56.590 --> 00:05:59.060
And power is still legendary.
123
00:05:59.060 --> 00:06:03.260
And my friends, Jesus has enough power to resist an army.
124
00:06:03.260 --> 00:06:05.960
He can resist anything in your life,
125
00:06:05.960 --> 00:06:09.680
if you'll just call out to him; with one word from Jesus,
126
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:12.320
he can knock the enemy flat.
127
00:06:12.320 --> 00:06:14.600
That's what you're gonna find out today.
128
00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:18.110
But Judas was so confused
129
00:06:18.110 --> 00:06:19.370
because in one moment he said,
130
00:06:19.370 --> 00:06:22.130
I think we might need an army to arrest him,
131
00:06:22.130 --> 00:06:24.980
but on the other moment he said, I can give him over to you
132
00:06:24.980 --> 00:06:26.870
with a kiss.
133
00:06:26.870 --> 00:06:28.880
This was great confusion,
134
00:06:28.880 --> 00:06:32.690
but deceived people are always confused people.
135
00:06:32.690 --> 00:06:36.530 line:15%
But when we come to Mark 14:44, this is what we read -
136
00:06:36.530 --> 00:06:39.890
And he that betrayed him had given them a token.
137
00:06:39.890 --> 00:06:44.360 line:15%
That word, token, means a signal previously agreed upon.
138
00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:47.600 line:15%
It was a signal devised by Judas Iscariot
139
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:50.930
to let the troops know who to arrest.
140
00:06:50.930 --> 00:06:52.580
This was important because most
141
00:06:52.580 --> 00:06:56.630
of these soldiers had never
personally seen Jesus.
142
00:06:56.630 --> 00:06:58.280
They didn't know who he was.
143
00:06:58.280 --> 00:07:02.000
So Judas devised a signal to let them know
144
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:04.790
who it was they were to arrest.
145
00:07:04.790 --> 00:07:08.240 line:15%
And he the betrayed him, had
given them a token saying,
146
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:11.030 line:15%
whomsoever, I shall kiss
147
00:07:11.030 --> 00:07:13.790 line:15%
that same is he; take him
148
00:07:13.790 --> 00:07:17.000 line:15%
and lead him away safely.
149
00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:18.800
What a confused man.
150
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:22.580
But again, deceived people
are confused people.
151
00:07:22.580 --> 00:07:24.920
Maybe you've had someone in
your life that did something
152
00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:27.920
to you and you were so
shocked by their behavior,
153
00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:29.750
but they were deceived.
154
00:07:29.750 --> 00:07:30.920
They thought one thing of you,
155
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:32.720
and then they thought
another thing of you,
156
00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:34.790
they couldn't seem to keep things straight
157
00:07:34.790 --> 00:07:37.700
and what they thought about you; well, they're deceived and
158
00:07:37.700 --> 00:07:39.380
therefore they are confused.
159
00:07:39.380 --> 00:07:43.610
Deception and confusion
always goes hand in hand.
160
00:07:43.610 --> 00:07:45.770
But I want us to stop
before we go any further
161
00:07:45.770 --> 00:07:50.660
and ask this question - What kind of relationship did Jesus
162
00:07:50.660 --> 00:07:52.730
and Judas Iscariot have?
163
00:07:52.730 --> 00:07:56.630 line:15%
Well, they had worked together
for three and a half years,
164
00:07:56.630 --> 00:07:59.330
and during the three and a
half years of Jesus ministry,
165
00:07:59.330 --> 00:08:03.560 line:15%
Judas Iscariot had been the
treasurer for the ministry.
166
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:05.780 line:15%
And because he was the treasurer
167
00:08:05.780 --> 00:08:08.300 line:15%
and Jesus was the leader of the ministry,
168
00:08:08.300 --> 00:08:09.710 line:15%
it means they had sat together
169
00:08:09.710 --> 00:08:12.890 line:15%
and spoken on many occasions,
maybe for hours and hours
170
00:08:12.890 --> 00:08:15.680 line:15%
and hours, talking about
the distribution of funds
171
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:18.350
and how to help the poor
and how to help the needy.
172
00:08:18.350 --> 00:08:21.770
They had spent hours and
hours and hours together
173
00:08:21.770 --> 00:08:24.320
and in fact, they had spent
so much time together,
174
00:08:24.320 --> 00:08:27.710
Judas should have really known who Jesus was.
175
00:08:27.710 --> 00:08:29.960
There was no need for
him to be confused except
176
00:08:29.960 --> 00:08:34.190
that he was deceived, and in fact were so close,
177
00:08:34.190 --> 00:08:38.090
we find that Jesus used
a word to describe Judas
178
00:08:38.090 --> 00:08:40.220
that he never used ever in the Gospels
179
00:08:40.220 --> 00:08:44.960
to describe anyone else. In Matthew 26:50,
180
00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:47.450 line:15%
the Bible tells us that when Judas came,
181
00:08:47.450 --> 00:08:49.250 line:15%
Jesus answered unto him
182
00:08:49.250 --> 00:08:53.510 line:15%
and said, friend, wherefore art thou come.
183
00:08:53.510 --> 00:08:58.260 line:15%
That word friend in Greek is the word for a buddy,
184
00:08:58.260 --> 00:09:02.310 line:15%
a companion, a comrade, a confidant
185
00:09:02.310 --> 00:09:04.230 line:15%
or an enjoyable friend.
186
00:09:04.230 --> 00:09:08.040 line:15%
It is someone with whom
one has spent much time
187
00:09:08.040 --> 00:09:10.170 line:15%
and learned to enjoy -
188
00:09:10.170 --> 00:09:13.140
which means - Jesus really liked Judas Iscariot.
189
00:09:13.140 --> 00:09:16.080
He enjoyed working with him.
He called him a confident.
190
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:18.810
He called him a friend.
He called him a buddy.
191
00:09:18.810 --> 00:09:22.980
That is amazing. But Judas loyalty
192
00:09:22.980 --> 00:09:26.400
to Jesus was fatally flawed,
193
00:09:26.400 --> 00:09:30.330
and his loyalty to Jesus
was flawed from the
194
00:09:30.330 --> 00:09:32.880
very beginning.
195
00:09:32.880 --> 00:09:37.380
Remember though, Judas said in Mark 14:44 -
196
00:09:37.380 --> 00:09:41.760 line:15%
whomsoever, I shall kiss, that same is he, take him
197
00:09:41.760 --> 00:09:43.770 line:15%
and leave him away safely.
198
00:09:43.770 --> 00:09:45.750 line:15%
Let's talk about that word - kiss.
199
00:09:45.750 --> 00:09:47.580 line:15%
It's a form of the word philea, which means
200
00:09:47.580 --> 00:09:49.770 line:15%
to love like a friend, but here it is the word phila.
201
00:09:49.770 --> 00:09:51.630 line:15%
So which means to kiss,
202
00:09:51.630 --> 00:09:55.680 line:15%
but listen to this. The word
describes strong, affection,
203
00:09:55.680 --> 00:09:57.690 line:15%
emotion, and love.
204
00:09:57.690 --> 00:10:00.510 line:15%
Affection primarily
felt only between people
205
00:10:00.510 --> 00:10:02.190 line:15%
who have a strong bond
206
00:10:02.190 --> 00:10:06.960 line:15%
or a deeply felt obligation to
each other, such as a husband
207
00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:08.370 line:15%
and wife or family members.
208
00:10:08.370 --> 00:10:11.550 line:15%
But later, it was used
as a form of greeting
209
00:10:11.550 --> 00:10:15.090 line:15%
between especially dear
and cherished friends.
210
00:10:15.090 --> 00:10:17.520 line:15%
During the time that the
gospels were written,
211
00:10:17.520 --> 00:10:20.910 line:15%
it depicted friends who
were bound by some kind
212
00:10:20.910 --> 00:10:22.770 line:15%
of obligation or covenant
213
00:10:22.770 --> 00:10:25.890 line:15%
and who cherished each
other very, very deeply.
214
00:10:25.890 --> 00:10:28.440 line:15%
It was also the word for a kiss.
215
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:30.240 line:15%
The word phileo then
becomes the word phileso,
216
00:10:31.170 --> 00:10:34.770 line:15%
which depicts a kiss that
a man would give his wife
217
00:10:34.770 --> 00:10:35.910 line:15%
or a kiss that parents
218
00:10:35.910 --> 00:10:37.350 line:15%
and children might give to each other,
219
00:10:37.350 --> 00:10:40.530 line:15%
or a kiss that a brother
or sister might give to his
220
00:10:40.530 --> 00:10:42.000 line:15%
or her siblings.
221
00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:44.850
But this word kiss describes an act
222
00:10:44.850 --> 00:10:47.340
that would only take place between very,
223
00:10:47.340 --> 00:10:51.600
very cherished people who
felt deep love, affection,
224
00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:55.200
obligation, covenant and relationship.
225
00:10:55.200 --> 00:10:58.830
And the very fact that Judas
could give this kind of kiss
226
00:10:58.830 --> 00:11:03.360
to Jesus tells us what kind
of relationship existed
227
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:05.520
between Jesus and Judas.
228
00:11:05.520 --> 00:11:09.150
They had been very, very near
as they had sat at the table,
229
00:11:09.150 --> 00:11:11.490
worked about finances,
talked about the distribution
230
00:11:11.490 --> 00:11:14.700
of funds, how to help the
poor, how to help the needy,
231
00:11:14.700 --> 00:11:17.310
and they had a very
enjoyable relationship.
232
00:11:17.310 --> 00:11:20.970
However, this was a false kiss.
233
00:11:20.970 --> 00:11:24.690
It was insincere, it
was bogus, it was phony,
234
00:11:24.690 --> 00:11:29.310
which means there really
was a flaw inside Judas
235
00:11:29.310 --> 00:11:33.030
and my friends, we see this flaw in Mark
236
00:11:33.030 --> 00:11:36.030
14:45, which says,
237
00:11:36.030 --> 00:11:41.010 line:15%
and as soon as he, Judas, was
come, he goeth straight away
238
00:11:41.010 --> 00:11:44.430 line:15%
to him and saith - master, master,
239
00:11:46.050 --> 00:11:47.100 line:15%
and kissed him.
240
00:11:48.330 --> 00:11:51.270
But in this verse, we find
there really was a flaw
241
00:11:51.270 --> 00:11:53.110
inside Judas.
242
00:11:53.110 --> 00:11:55.630
You say, well, what is the flaw? In this verse,
243
00:11:55.630 --> 00:11:59.410
he calls Jesus, master, which is the Greek word
244
00:11:59.410 --> 00:12:04.410 line:15%
which describes a fabulous masterful teacher.
245
00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:08.110
Notice what he did not call Jesus.
246
00:12:08.110 --> 00:12:10.600
He did not call Jesus - Lord.
247
00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:14.680
He just called Jesus master,
248
00:12:14.680 --> 00:12:17.740
fabulous, masterful teacher.
249
00:12:17.740 --> 00:12:20.170
Well, you have to understand
the titles are very,
250
00:12:20.170 --> 00:12:21.430
very important.
251
00:12:21.430 --> 00:12:23.200
And I realize we're
living in a world today
252
00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:25.780
where people kinda shun
the idea of titles,
253
00:12:25.780 --> 00:12:27.820
but titles are important.
254
00:12:27.820 --> 00:12:31.630
For example, the title, Mother and Daddy are very unique.
255
00:12:31.630 --> 00:12:35.230
They define your relationship
with your parents.
256
00:12:35.230 --> 00:12:39.250
The title, boss, defines a relationship between an employer
257
00:12:39.250 --> 00:12:40.660
and his employees.
258
00:12:40.660 --> 00:12:43.420
There's no one else in the
company who you call boss.
259
00:12:43.420 --> 00:12:47.110
That's a very specific relationship. The words, Mr.
260
00:12:47.110 --> 00:12:49.450
President, define the relationship
261
00:12:49.450 --> 00:12:51.490
between a leader and the nation.
262
00:12:51.490 --> 00:12:55.300
No one else in the nation is called Mr. President.
263
00:12:55.300 --> 00:12:58.690
The word pastor describes a pastor in his church.
264
00:12:58.690 --> 00:13:01.480
No one else in the church is called pastor.
265
00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:04.330
Those titles provide definition,
266
00:13:04.330 --> 00:13:08.500
and a world without titles would be a world with confusion.
267
00:13:08.500 --> 00:13:10.330
Titles are necessary
268
00:13:10.330 --> 00:13:12.730
because they give rank, they give order,
269
00:13:12.730 --> 00:13:15.280
and they give definition to relationships.
270
00:13:15.280 --> 00:13:17.800
And in the gospels we find
271
00:13:17.800 --> 00:13:21.100
that the apostles call Jesus - Lord.
272
00:13:21.100 --> 00:13:23.860
That was the title they used.
273
00:13:23.860 --> 00:13:27.280
In fact, we read this in John 13:13 that says,
274
00:13:27.280 --> 00:13:29.890 line:15%
You call me master and Lord
275
00:13:29.890 --> 00:13:33.190 line:15%
and you say well - for so I am.
276
00:13:33.190 --> 00:13:36.370
That word, Lord is a Greek
word which describes the one
277
00:13:36.370 --> 00:13:40.450
with ultimate authority in your life.
278
00:13:40.450 --> 00:13:44.320
Never once in the gospels is
there an instance when the
279
00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:46.540
disciples call Jesus - Jesus.
280
00:13:46.540 --> 00:13:48.070
They're not that familiar.
281
00:13:48.070 --> 00:13:50.110
They call him master and they call him Lord.
282
00:13:50.110 --> 00:13:52.570
And every time they call him Lord,
283
00:13:52.570 --> 00:13:56.200
they're declaring he has
the ultimate authority
284
00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:57.760
in their lives.
285
00:13:57.760 --> 00:14:00.790
And that word, Lord, which
is the Greek word kurios,
286
00:14:00.790 --> 00:14:03.700
depicts one who has ultimate
authority in every realm,
287
00:14:03.700 --> 00:14:06.340
the one who has the right to
tell you what to do, what not
288
00:14:06.340 --> 00:14:09.820
to do, and total
management over your life.
289
00:14:09.820 --> 00:14:13.000
And every time they called Jesus Lord,
290
00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:15.700
it meant they were surrendered
him to the very core
291
00:14:15.700 --> 00:14:17.410
of their being.
292
00:14:18.550 --> 00:14:21.850
But on the night when Judas Iscariot showed up,
293
00:14:21.850 --> 00:14:23.830
he didn't call Jesus Lord.
294
00:14:23.830 --> 00:14:27.910
He called him master, which means he had a fatal flaw.
295
00:14:27.910 --> 00:14:31.810
He had received Jesus as a masterful teacher.
296
00:14:31.810 --> 00:14:34.750
He had benefited from Jesus teaching gift.
297
00:14:34.750 --> 00:14:37.300
He'd enjoyed Jesus teaching gift,
298
00:14:37.300 --> 00:14:39.400 line:15%
but he had never opened himself
299
00:14:39.400 --> 00:14:43.180 line:15%
and fully submitted to
the Lordship of Jesus.
300
00:14:43.180 --> 00:14:44.680 line:15%
And the devil knew that.
301
00:14:44.680 --> 00:14:48.340 line:15%
And that is how the devil
found an entrance into
302
00:14:48.340 --> 00:14:50.680 line:15%
Judas Iscariot.
303
00:14:50.680 --> 00:14:54.530 line:15%
And it is unthinkable that Judas Iscariot,
304
00:14:54.530 --> 00:14:56.300 line:15%
after walking with Jesus for three
305
00:14:56.300 --> 00:14:59.270 line:15%
and a half years, working
with him at the table,
306
00:14:59.270 --> 00:15:02.810
laboring over finances, how
to pay bills, who to help, how
307
00:15:02.810 --> 00:15:04.580
to help the poor and the needy:
308
00:15:04.580 --> 00:15:07.250
after they'd had such a cherished relationship,
309
00:15:07.250 --> 00:15:10.640
now he became so deceived
that he approaches Jesus
310
00:15:10.640 --> 00:15:14.750
and with a kiss, a phony kiss,
311
00:15:14.750 --> 00:15:19.750
a bogus kiss, he delivers
Jesus into the hands
312
00:15:19.760 --> 00:15:21.680
of these military forces:
313
00:15:21.680 --> 00:15:24.950
and to Caiaphas the high priest and the scribes
314
00:15:24.950 --> 00:15:28.400
and the Pharisees - it is amazing.
315
00:15:28.400 --> 00:15:32.030
But something then
happened that is amazing.
316
00:15:32.030 --> 00:15:37.030
After Jesus had received
Judas kiss of betrayal,
317
00:15:37.130 --> 00:15:40.370
he stepped forward and
said to the whole mob,
318
00:15:40.370 --> 00:15:44.270
and you read this in John 18:4-6,
319
00:15:44.270 --> 00:15:45.590
Whom seek He?
320
00:15:46.700 --> 00:15:49.610 line:15%
And they answered him - Jesus of Nazareth.
321
00:15:49.610 --> 00:15:53.270 line:15%
And he sayeth unto them, I am he. Okay,
322
00:15:53.270 --> 00:15:54.950 line:15%
are you ready to learn something new?
323
00:15:54.950 --> 00:15:57.440 line:15%
Hold on, because this is amazing.
324
00:15:57.440 --> 00:16:00.290 line:15%
He sayeth unto them, I am he.
325
00:16:00.290 --> 00:16:04.790 line:15%
And as soon as he had said
this unto them, I am he,
326
00:16:04.790 --> 00:16:09.200 line:15%
they went backward and fell to the ground.
327
00:16:09.200 --> 00:16:11.030 line:15%
Now, if you're looking at
your Bible, get out your pen
328
00:16:11.030 --> 00:16:13.850
or your pencil and circle
those words, I am he,
329
00:16:13.850 --> 00:16:16.070
which appears twice in this verse
330
00:16:16.070 --> 00:16:19.490
and both times in Greek, it is the phrase echoeimi,
331
00:16:19.490 --> 00:16:24.110 line:15%
which a little interpretation
would be - I am, I am.
332
00:16:24.110 --> 00:16:26.300
So if you're going to
interpret this correctly,
333
00:16:26.300 --> 00:16:27.590
the verse says, whom seek?
334
00:16:28.460 --> 00:16:30.260
They answered him Jesus of Nazareth.
335
00:16:30.260 --> 00:16:32.510
And he said unto them, I am.
336
00:16:32.510 --> 00:16:35.600
And as soon as he had said unto them - I am,
337
00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:37.730
they fell backward and fell to the ground.
338
00:16:37.730 --> 00:16:41.240
But these words, I am, the Greek phrase, echoeimi,
339
00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:46.160
are the exact identical words found in Exodus 3:14
340
00:16:46.160 --> 00:16:50.630 line:15%
when God said to Moses, I am that I am.
341
00:16:50.630 --> 00:16:53.420 line:15%
And Jesus also used these same words,
342
00:16:53.420 --> 00:16:56.870 line:15%
echoeimi, in John 8:58, where he says,
343
00:16:56.870 --> 00:16:59.930 line:15%
before Abraham was I am.
344
00:16:59.930 --> 00:17:03.650 line:15%
And Jesus with these words
was acknowledging who he was.
345
00:17:03.650 --> 00:17:06.530 line:15%
He was declaring he is I am that I am.
346
00:17:06.530 --> 00:17:09.890
He was God in the flesh.
347
00:17:09.890 --> 00:17:12.320
They were seeking Jesus of Nazareth.
348
00:17:12.320 --> 00:17:14.690
But Jesus said, let me tell you who I really am.
349
00:17:14.690 --> 00:17:17.090
I am the I am of the Old Testament.
350
00:17:17.090 --> 00:17:20.390
I am the I am which was before Abraham.
351
00:17:20.390 --> 00:17:23.600
I am God in the flesh.
352
00:17:23.600 --> 00:17:26.330
And according to John 18:6,
353
00:17:26.330 --> 00:17:29.960 line:15%
when Jesus had said these
words unto them, I am,
354
00:17:29.960 --> 00:17:34.850 line:15%
they went backward and fell to the ground.
355
00:17:34.850 --> 00:17:37.490
That phrase, went backward, means to stagger
356
00:17:37.490 --> 00:17:39.560 line:15%
and to stumble backward
357
00:17:39.560 --> 00:17:42.650 line:15%
as if some force had hit them
358
00:17:42.650 --> 00:17:45.380 line:15%
and was pushing them backward.
359
00:17:45.380 --> 00:17:48.200
Now they're trying to
fight this invisible force,
360
00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:50.910
but they're staggering and
they're stumbling backward.
361
00:17:50.910 --> 00:17:54.120
It is too powerful for
them to stand against.
362
00:17:54.120 --> 00:17:55.710
And finally, they fell to the ground.
363
00:17:55.710 --> 00:17:57.900
The word, fell, is a form of the Greek word peto,
364
00:17:57.900 --> 00:18:00.510 line:15%
which means they hit the hard ground.
365
00:18:00.510 --> 00:18:03.960 line:15%
It depicts a person who fell
so hard that it appeared,
366
00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:07.260 line:15%
he fell like a dead man or like a corpse.
367
00:18:07.260 --> 00:18:11.280
And now these soldiers, 300 to 600 of them
368
00:18:12.450 --> 00:18:16.650
along with the temple
police are knocked flat
369
00:18:16.650 --> 00:18:20.280
by some kind of invisible force.
370
00:18:20.280 --> 00:18:22.410
Now that is totally amazing.
371
00:18:22.410 --> 00:18:25.620
And the Bible says they fell to the ground. In Greek,
372
00:18:25.620 --> 00:18:29.880 line:15%
it is the word khamai, which means they hit the ground hard.
373
00:18:29.880 --> 00:18:33.600 line:15%
This was not them softly following - Bam!! -
374
00:18:33.600 --> 00:18:35.340
they were knocked flat.
375
00:18:36.420 --> 00:18:38.190
In my book Easter, The Rest of the Story,
376
00:18:38.190 --> 00:18:41.310
there's one illustration which shows this: Jesus just
377
00:18:41.310 --> 00:18:43.890
speaking the words I am,
378
00:18:43.890 --> 00:18:47.610
and suddenly so much power was detonated
379
00:18:47.610 --> 00:18:52.170
that it knocked all the soldiers back to the grown.
380
00:18:53.310 --> 00:18:56.040
Think about it - 300
381
00:18:56.040 --> 00:19:00.150
to 600 Roman soldiers showed up that were armed
382
00:19:00.150 --> 00:19:03.000
to the max along with temple officers
383
00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:05.490
or temple police that were
known for being very brutal
384
00:19:05.490 --> 00:19:07.170
and very, very mean.
385
00:19:07.170 --> 00:19:09.210
They all come ready to arrest Jesus
386
00:19:09.210 --> 00:19:11.250
because they had heard
387
00:19:11.250 --> 00:19:13.290
that he had enough power to stop an army.
388
00:19:13.290 --> 00:19:16.830
And guess what? What
they heard was correct.
389
00:19:18.150 --> 00:19:21.720
All Jesus had to do was
identify who he was.
390
00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:26.310
He said, echoeimi - I am.
You want to know who I am?
391
00:19:26.310 --> 00:19:27.990
I am the great I am.
392
00:19:27.990 --> 00:19:32.490
And when Jesus spoke those
words, power was released
393
00:19:32.490 --> 00:19:37.290
so mighty that they literally
begin to wobble, staggering,
394
00:19:37.290 --> 00:19:42.290
stumble as they hit
the ground, which means
395
00:19:42.780 --> 00:19:44.610
all the legends
396
00:19:44.610 --> 00:19:47.340
and all the tales they had
heard about this supernatural
397
00:19:47.340 --> 00:19:51.330
power of Jesus was absolutely correct.
398
00:19:51.330 --> 00:19:53.850
He really was strong enough
399
00:19:53.850 --> 00:19:56.460
to overcome an army.
400
00:19:58.500 --> 00:20:00.660
But after Jesus had proven
401
00:20:00.660 --> 00:20:04.830
that they did not have
enough might to arrest him,
402
00:20:04.830 --> 00:20:09.270
he stepped forward and
surrendered himself.
403
00:20:09.270 --> 00:20:12.330
And the Bible says when they
finally got on their feet,
404
00:20:12.330 --> 00:20:14.550
they led him away safely.
405
00:20:14.550 --> 00:20:18.150
Those words led him away our
form of the Greek word ago,
406
00:20:18.150 --> 00:20:20.490
which means to lead an animal at the end of a rope,
407
00:20:20.490 --> 00:20:23.310
which means they put
a rope around his neck
408
00:20:23.310 --> 00:20:26.580
and they led him to his own slaughter.
409
00:20:26.580 --> 00:20:29.340
But my friends, they did not take him.
410
00:20:29.340 --> 00:20:31.920
They did not have the power to take him.
411
00:20:31.920 --> 00:20:34.650
Jesus surrendered himself
412
00:20:34.650 --> 00:20:36.960
because he knew it was the
will of the Father for him
413
00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:40.230
to die on the cross as the Lamb of God to take away the sin
414
00:20:40.230 --> 00:20:43.020
of the world, which means
my sin and your sin.
415
00:20:43.020 --> 00:20:45.870
This was the reason Jesus was born,
416
00:20:45.870 --> 00:20:49.420
but nothing had the ability to take Jesus
417
00:20:49.420 --> 00:20:51.340
because his power was so mighty.
418
00:20:51.340 --> 00:20:53.170
He surrendered himself.
419
00:20:54.040 --> 00:20:55.510
But notice when he opened his mouth
420
00:20:55.510 --> 00:20:58.870
and spoke, power was released.
421
00:20:58.870 --> 00:21:01.840
And I don't know what you're
facing in your life right now,
422
00:21:01.840 --> 00:21:04.780
but my friends, all you need
is one word from the word
423
00:21:04.780 --> 00:21:07.780
of God, one word spoken
from the mouth of Jesus.
424
00:21:07.780 --> 00:21:12.550
It can undo anything that
has come against you.
425
00:21:12.550 --> 00:21:16.480
Wow, this is the power
426
00:21:16.480 --> 00:21:19.420
of Jesus Christ, and he's
the same yesterday, today,
427
00:21:19.420 --> 00:21:21.430
and forever.
428
00:21:21.430 --> 00:21:24.430
And my friends, his power
is available to work
429
00:21:24.430 --> 00:21:27.460
for you right now.
430
00:21:27.460 --> 00:21:30.940

Hey, this is Rick Renner
467
00:23:12.910 --> 00:23:15.850
and I am in the production
fulfillment part
468
00:23:15.850 --> 00:23:17.980
of the Tulsa Ministry Headquarters,
469
00:23:17.980 --> 00:23:19.600 line:15%
and I just love to come here
470
00:23:19.600 --> 00:23:23.140
and see all these teaching resources.
471
00:23:23.140 --> 00:23:27.820 line:15%
My friends, we send them out
by 10 thousands every month
472
00:23:27.820 --> 00:23:28.840 line:15%
and every year.
473

It is just amazing

475
00:23:35.350 --> 00:23:37.900
It's very humbling, and I'm very grateful
476
00:23:37.900 --> 00:23:39.400 line:15%
that God is using our ministry
477
00:23:39.400 --> 00:23:42.760 line:15%
and our teaching to strengthen
lives around the world.
478
00:23:42.760 --> 00:23:47.510 line:15%
And our partners are the
ones helping us to do it.
479
00:23:47.510 --> 00:23:50.780 line:15%
And right now, we're trying
to pay off this facility
480
00:23:50.780 --> 00:23:54.230 line:15%
so we can release more
funds to taking the teaching
481
00:23:54.230 --> 00:23:56.180 line:15%
of the Bible to the ends of the earth.
482
00:23:56.180 --> 00:23:59.030 line:15%
We've already paid off 84%
483
00:23:59.030 --> 00:24:00.980 line:15%
of our Ministry Expansion Project,
484
00:24:00.980 --> 00:24:02.330 line:15%
but we'd like to finish it.
485
00:24:02.330 --> 00:24:05.060 line:15%
And if you're not a part of
the Giving Team yet today,
486
00:24:05.060 --> 00:24:07.190 line:15%
I want to ask you to join our Giving Team
487
00:24:07.190 --> 00:24:09.740 line:15%
so we can pay off this facility
488
00:24:09.740 --> 00:24:13.460 line:15%
and release all those funds
into taking the teaching
489
00:24:13.460 --> 00:24:16.130 line:15%
of the Bible to the ends of the earth.
490
00:24:26.330 --> 00:24:29.270
Well, today we've been
talking about the Judas kiss
491
00:24:29.270 --> 00:24:31.130
and we've been looking at the power of God
492
00:24:31.130 --> 00:24:36.130
that was manifest when Jesus spoke and said - I am.
493
00:24:36.230 --> 00:24:40.970
When identified who he was, power was detonated so strong,
494
00:24:40.970 --> 00:24:43.610
it knocked all those police
495
00:24:43.610 --> 00:24:46.850
and all those soldiers back to their feet.
496
00:24:46.850 --> 00:24:50.210 line:15%
And of course, this is beautifully illustrated in my book,
497
00:24:50.210 --> 00:24:51.230 line:15%
which is called Easter,
498
00:24:51.230 --> 00:24:55.370
The Rest of the Story. Here is Jesus just saying, I am,
499
00:24:55.370 --> 00:24:59.150 line:15%
and suddenly all the soldiers,
all of the militia - Bam!!! -
500
00:24:59.150 --> 00:25:03.320 line:15%
they hit the ground because
such power is detonated.
501
00:25:03.320 --> 00:25:06.320 line:15%
That is the kind of power that Jesus has
502
00:25:06.320 --> 00:25:08.600 line:15%
and my friends, that
kind of power is ready
503
00:25:08.600 --> 00:25:10.070 line:15%
to work in your life right now.
504
00:25:10.070 --> 00:25:11.840
I don't know what has come against you,
505
00:25:11.840 --> 00:25:14.900
but Jesus is ready to knock yet flat.
506
00:25:14.900 --> 00:25:18.800 line:15%
If it is sickness, if it's
oppression, depression,
507
00:25:18.800 --> 00:25:21.380 line:15%
something coming against
your finances or your family
508
00:25:21.380 --> 00:25:25.100 line:15%
or your marriage, one
word from Jesus will just
509
00:25:25.100 --> 00:25:26.360 line:15%
deal with every bit of it.
510
00:25:27.380 --> 00:25:29.960 line:15%
So call out to Jesus and call out to us.
511
00:25:29.960 --> 00:25:33.470 line:15%
Call us, send us an email. Let
us know how to pray for you.
512
00:25:33.470 --> 00:25:34.910 line:15%
We're waiting to pray with you,
513
00:25:34.910 --> 00:25:36.830 line:15%
and we will pray the Word of God.
514
00:25:36.830 --> 00:25:40.490 line:15%
The Word of God will be
detonated to do what needs
515
00:25:40.490 --> 00:25:42.470 line:15%
to be done in your life,
516
00:25:42.470 --> 00:25:45.020 line:15%
and we're waiting to hear from you now.
517
00:25:45.020 --> 00:25:47.330 line:15%
So call the number on the
screen or send us an email
518
00:25:47.330 --> 00:25:50.240 line:15%
and put your hand on your heart as I pray for you now -
519
00:25:50.240 --> 00:25:52.190 line:15%
Father, I thank you that the power
520
00:25:52.190 --> 00:25:55.220 line:15%
of Jesus is the same
yesterday, today, and forever,
521
00:25:55.220 --> 00:25:58.190 line:15%
and the power that worked
then is working now.
522
00:25:58.190 --> 00:26:00.950 line:15%
And Father, I pray for
the power of Jesus Christ
523
00:26:00.950 --> 00:26:04.580 line:15%
to be detonated in my friend's
life: to undo the work
524
00:26:04.580 --> 00:26:07.370 line:15%
of the enemy and to set right everything
525
00:26:07.370 --> 00:26:09.920 line:15%
that's been wrong - in Jesus'
526
00:26:09.920 --> 00:26:12.950 line:15%
name - Amen.
527
00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:18.110 line:15%
We've got so much more to
cover in the next episode,
528
00:26:18.110 --> 00:26:21.950
but until then, remember, Ecclesiastes 8:4;
529
00:26:21.950 --> 00:26:26.270
it says, "Where the word of a king is, there is power."
530
00:26:28.850 --> 00:26:30.920
Hey friends, this is
Rick Renner, and Denise

543
00:27:08.520 --> 00:27:10.770 line:15%
Friend, if you can come to any of these meetings, Denise
544
00:27:10.770 --> 00:27:13.470 line:15%
and I would just be so
thrilled to see you,
545
00:27:13.470 --> 00:27:15.570 line:15%
but please go online
546
00:27:15.570 --> 00:27:18.030 line:15%
or give us a call to
make sure none of dates
547
00:27:18.030 --> 00:27:20.700 line:15%
or times have changed.
548
00:27:20.700 --> 00:27:22.980
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
549
00:27:22.980 --> 00:27:27.360
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
550
00:27:27.360 --> 00:27:29.520 line:15%
Jesus has to give you.
551
00:27:29.520 --> 00:27:33.630 line:15%
Pray this prayer with me right now - Lord,
552
00:27:33.630 --> 00:27:37.620
I repent of my sin and receive you and my Savior
553
00:27:37.620 --> 00:27:40.590
and Lord. Wash away my sin
554
00:27:40.590 --> 00:27:43.590 line:15%
and make me completely new.
555
00:27:43.590 --> 00:27:47.370
I thank you that my sin is removed
556
00:27:47.370 --> 00:27:52.370
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
557
00:27:52.950 --> 00:27:56.940
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
558
00:27:56.940 --> 00:27:59.520
for the rest of my life.
559
00:27:59.520 --> 00:28:00.520
Amen.
