00:00:01.320 --> 00:00:04.020
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:04.020 --> 00:00:08.040
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:08.040 --> 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 --> 00:00:34.860
and a mission that
touches the world. Let's
11
00:00:34.860 --> 00:00:36.060
join Rick Renner.
12
00:00:38.130 --> 00:00:39.300
Welcome to today's program.
13
00:00:39.300 --> 00:00:40.710
My name is Rick Renner
14
00:00:40.710 --> 00:00:44.460
and today we're continuing the series called Easter
15
00:00:44.460 --> 00:00:48.240
The Rest of the Story. When I was growing up,
16
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:50.460
my parents were so faithful to take us
17
00:00:50.460 --> 00:00:54.660
to church every Sunday, but
Easter was really special.
18
00:00:54.660 --> 00:00:58.830
Rhonda and Lori, my sisters
always wore special Easter
19
00:00:58.830 --> 00:01:02.250
dresses and my mother dressed
me in a little white shirt
20
00:01:02.250 --> 00:01:05.340
with a bow tie and little
Ricky Renner went to church.
21
00:01:05.340 --> 00:01:08.250
And of course when we
woke up on Easter morning,
22
00:01:08.250 --> 00:01:11.040
we always found a basket
of goodies by our bed.
23
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:14.010
It was a really big holiday in our life.
24
00:01:14.010 --> 00:01:15.810
But even as I was growing up,
25
00:01:15.810 --> 00:01:20.370
it seemed like every year the sermon was the same story year
26
00:01:20.370 --> 00:01:21.780
after year after year.
27
00:01:21.780 --> 00:01:24.210
And I remember thinking, isn't there more
28
00:01:24.210 --> 00:01:25.620
to the story than this?
29
00:01:25.620 --> 00:01:27.420
So when I got older,
30
00:01:27.420 --> 00:01:30.150
I took a deep dive into the Easter story
31
00:01:30.150 --> 00:01:33.570
and found out there really
is more to the story
32
00:01:33.570 --> 00:01:35.370
and it is just amazing.
33
00:01:35.370 --> 00:01:38.340
And today, my friends,
we're gonna move forward
34
00:01:38.340 --> 00:01:40.860
and we're going to see
the moment when Jesus had
35
00:01:40.860 --> 00:01:43.620 line:15%
to clean up Peter's mess
36
00:01:43.620 --> 00:01:45.390 line:15%
and suddenly there was the appearance
37
00:01:45.390 --> 00:01:49.170 line:15%
of a naked boy in the Garden of Gethsemane.
38
00:01:49.170 --> 00:01:53.220 line:15%
Who is the naked boy in
the Garden of Gethsemane.
39
00:01:53.220 --> 00:01:56.640 line:15%
And what in the world is he doing there?
40
00:01:56.640 --> 00:01:58.920 line:15%
It is gonna be so good today.
41
00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:01.530
But hey, before we get started, remember
42
00:02:01.530 --> 00:02:04.290 line:15%
that if you need prayer,
we're wanting to pray for you.
43
00:02:04.290 --> 00:02:06.810 line:15%
If you'll call the number
on the screen, as soon
44
00:02:06.810 --> 00:02:08.310 line:15%
as the phone rings
45
00:02:08.310 --> 00:02:10.050 line:15%
and we hear what the need is,
46
00:02:10.050 --> 00:02:12.420 line:15%
we're gonna pray according
to the will of God.
47
00:02:12.420 --> 00:02:15.240 line:15%
We're told in 1 John 5:14
48
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:17.760 line:15%
and 15, if we pray anything according
49
00:02:17.760 --> 00:02:19.380 line:15%
to his will, he hears us.
50
00:02:19.380 --> 00:02:21.600 line:15%
Which means when you pray the word of God
51
00:02:21.600 --> 00:02:24.210 line:15%
or you pray scripturally,
it opens the ears of God.
52
00:02:24.210 --> 00:02:25.650 line:15%
He hears that prayer
53
00:02:25.650 --> 00:02:27.600 line:15%
and it says, if he hears us,
54
00:02:27.600 --> 00:02:32.400 line:15%
then we know we have the
petitions that we ask of him.
55
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:34.230 line:15%
So we'll pray with you scripturally.
56
00:02:34.230 --> 00:02:38.370 line:15%
God will hear us and God
will move in your life.
57
00:02:38.370 --> 00:02:39.450 line:15%
We're just waiting to pray.
58
00:02:39.450 --> 00:02:43.500 line:15%
So call the number on the
screen or give us a call.
59
00:02:43.500 --> 00:02:46.560 line:15%
We're waiting to pray for you right now.
60
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:50.400 line:15%
But before we get into the
teaching, listen to this.
61
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:54.210
Do you know the story of
Easter, the resurrection
62
00:02:54.210 --> 00:02:56.010
of Jesus, the empty tomb
63
00:02:56.010 --> 00:02:57.990
and the appearances to the disciples?
64
00:02:57.990 --> 00:03:01.420
But did you know that's
only part of the story?
65
00:03:01.420 --> 00:03:03.310 line:15%
In Rick Renner's book, Easter -
66
00:03:03.310 --> 00:03:04.780 line:15%
The Rest of the Story,
67
00:03:04.780 --> 00:03:06.910 line:15%
Rick delves into the lesser known details
68
00:03:06.910 --> 00:03:09.700 line:15%
of the Easter story that
are often overlooked.
69
00:03:09.700 --> 00:03:12.400 line:15%
Details like - who was Pontius Pilate,
70
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:14.800 line:15%
what really happened to the Garden of Gethsemane?
71
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:17.080 line:15%
What happened to the temple when Jesus died?
72
00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:19.300
What exactly do the disciples witness on
73
00:03:19.300 --> 00:03:20.890 line:15%
that miraculous morning?
74
00:03:20.890 --> 00:03:24.550 line:15%
Why Easter is the absolute
defining moment of our faith.

84
00:03:50.380 --> 00:03:54.670
In the last program we saw that Judas Iscariot led 300
85
00:03:54.670 --> 00:03:59.410
to 600 armed Roman soldiers into the Grotto
86
00:03:59.410 --> 00:04:01.990
of Gethsemane to arrest Jesus -
87
00:04:01.990 --> 00:04:05.620
and not just the Roman soldiers, but also Temple Police.
88
00:04:05.620 --> 00:04:09.310
And when you put all this
together, it was a small army
89
00:04:09.310 --> 00:04:11.560
that came to arrest Jesus.
90
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:13.750
And when they came to arrest him,
91
00:04:13.750 --> 00:04:15.700
Judas gave him a kiss of betrayal.
92
00:04:15.700 --> 00:04:18.070
And then Jesus stepped forward and to the rest of them
93
00:04:18.070 --> 00:04:21.790
he said - Whom seek you? And
they said, Jesus of Nazareth.
94
00:04:21.790 --> 00:04:25.450
And we saw that Jesus
answered and said, I am he.
95
00:04:25.450 --> 00:04:27.640
But in Greek it says echoeimi,
96
00:04:27.640 --> 00:04:30.400
a literal translation would be - I am.
97
00:04:30.400 --> 00:04:34.390
And the verse goes on to say,
when he said to them I am,
98
00:04:34.390 --> 00:04:37.570
they fell backward and fell to the ground.
99
00:04:37.570 --> 00:04:41.380
Jesus identified himself as the great - I Am -
100
00:04:41.380 --> 00:04:43.060
of the Old Testament.
101
00:04:43.060 --> 00:04:47.350
And when Jesus spoke those
words, power was detonated
102
00:04:47.350 --> 00:04:52.210 line:15%
so strong, it knocked all
the armed forces flat.
103
00:04:53.260 --> 00:04:56.140 line:15%
Here they had heard
legends of Jesus power.
104
00:04:56.140 --> 00:04:59.680 line:15%
And now we find out the
tales of his power were real.
105
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:04.450
He had enough power to
knock a small army flat just
106
00:05:04.450 --> 00:05:08.650
by identifying who he was. And my friends,
107
00:05:08.650 --> 00:05:10.420
that's how much power Jesus has.
108
00:05:10.420 --> 00:05:14.080
We're told in scripture that in the future when Jesus comes
109
00:05:14.080 --> 00:05:16.240
with one word of his mouth,
110
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:19.090
he will incinerate the antichrist.
111
00:05:19.090 --> 00:05:21.280
That's how much power
comes out of the mouth
112
00:05:21.280 --> 00:05:22.900
of Jesus when he speaks.
113
00:05:22.900 --> 00:05:25.570
And that's why when you are facing a need
114
00:05:25.570 --> 00:05:27.880
or an attack, you need
to get the word of God.
115
00:05:27.880 --> 00:05:29.470
You need to declare the word of God
116
00:05:29.470 --> 00:05:32.950
and let Jesus speak his
word because his power
117
00:05:32.950 --> 00:05:37.420
and his word has the ability
to obliterate anything
118
00:05:37.420 --> 00:05:40.510
that is trying to come against you.
119
00:05:40.510 --> 00:05:45.310
But eventually Jesus was arrested
120
00:05:45.310 --> 00:05:46.360
by these forces.
121
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:50.260
Now they're standing to
their feet after being dazed,
122
00:05:50.260 --> 00:05:52.930
after being laid flat on the
ground by the power of God,
123
00:05:52.930 --> 00:05:55.660
they finally crawl back to their feet
124
00:05:55.660 --> 00:05:58.940
and just they take Jesus away.
125
00:05:58.940 --> 00:06:02.330
Peter does the unthinkable,
126
00:06:02.330 --> 00:06:04.910
something very impetuous.
127
00:06:04.910 --> 00:06:06.230
Now stop
128
00:06:06.230 --> 00:06:09.710
and think of a time when you've done something impetuous.
129
00:06:09.710 --> 00:06:12.740
You acted rashly, you acted too quickly.
130
00:06:12.740 --> 00:06:15.830
You said something that later
you was so sorry you said,
131
00:06:15.830 --> 00:06:18.260
or you demonstrated some kind of behavior
132
00:06:18.260 --> 00:06:19.580
that later you just loathed.
133
00:06:19.580 --> 00:06:22.370
You were so embarrassed by how you acted.
134
00:06:22.370 --> 00:06:25.010
We've all been guilty of
that from time to time,
135
00:06:25.010 --> 00:06:29.210
and we could all use a
good dose of patience.
136
00:06:29.210 --> 00:06:33.800
But the truth is no one illustrates being
137
00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:37.190
impetuous and doing something that is rash
138
00:06:37.190 --> 00:06:39.710
and reckless better than the story
139
00:06:39.710 --> 00:06:43.370
of Peter there in the Garden of Gethsemane.
140
00:06:43.370 --> 00:06:45.860
And at some point, either in the grotto
141
00:06:45.860 --> 00:06:50.750
or out in the Garden itself,
Peter did the unthinkable.
142
00:06:50.750 --> 00:06:55.040
When he saw the mob laying
on the ground incapacitated
143
00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:58.160
by the power of God, he had an idea.
144
00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:00.980
He wanted to swing into action
145
00:07:00.980 --> 00:07:03.650
to do something he should not have done.
146
00:07:03.650 --> 00:07:06.800
And when you come to Luke 22:49, he actually said,
147
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:10.100
Lord, shall we smite with a sword?
148
00:07:10.100 --> 00:07:13.670
What an opportunity to
attack their enemies.
149
00:07:13.670 --> 00:07:17.360
Here they are decimated by
the power of God laying flat.
150
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:21.590
And Peter says, wow, this is
an opportunity to do to them
151
00:07:21.590 --> 00:07:24.560
what I've wanted to do to
them for a long, long time.
152
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:28.730
And he says, Lord, shall we
smite them with the sword?
153
00:07:28.730 --> 00:07:33.050
And before Jesus could answer,
Peter took a sword, swung it,
154
00:07:33.050 --> 00:07:38.050
and lopped the ear off of the
servant of the high priest.
155
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:41.750
Look, if you would at John 18:10,
156
00:07:41.750 --> 00:07:46.310 line:15%
which tells us, Peter smote,
the high priest servant
157
00:07:46.310 --> 00:07:49.610 line:15%
and cut off his right ear.
158
00:07:49.610 --> 00:07:51.770
This is not right behavior.
159
00:07:51.770 --> 00:07:55.850
But notice he says he smote
the high priest servant.
160
00:07:55.850 --> 00:07:58.010
And the word smote here is very important.
161
00:07:58.010 --> 00:08:02.630 line:15%
It means to strike as a person
who viciously strikes someone
162
00:08:02.630 --> 00:08:06.050 line:15%
with a dangerous tool,
weapon or instrument.
163
00:08:06.050 --> 00:08:09.470 line:15%
It can be translated to
sting like a scorpion
164
00:08:09.470 --> 00:08:12.770 line:15%
that strongly injects its
stinger into a victim.
165
00:08:12.770 --> 00:08:16.010 line:15%
This word smote can mean
to beat with the fist.
166
00:08:16.010 --> 00:08:20.090 line:15%
And it pictures the force of
Peter's swinging in action
167
00:08:20.090 --> 00:08:21.980 line:15%
and tells us, Peter put all
168
00:08:21.980 --> 00:08:24.740 line:15%
of his strength into the
swinging of his sword
169
00:08:24.740 --> 00:08:27.380 line:15%
and did it with a full intention
170
00:08:27.380 --> 00:08:30.500 line:15%
to cause bodily impairment.
171
00:08:30.500 --> 00:08:32.600
Bam!! He swung with all of his mind.
172
00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:34.100
But I have to ask you a question.
173
00:08:34.100 --> 00:08:37.160
Do you really think
Peter intended to cut off
174
00:08:37.160 --> 00:08:38.690
that man's ear?
175
00:08:38.690 --> 00:08:41.570
I mean, if you really had
something against somebody,
176
00:08:41.570 --> 00:08:44.060
would you say, I'm gonna cut your ear off,
177
00:08:44.060 --> 00:08:46.970
or would you say, I'm
gonna cut your head off?
178
00:08:46.970 --> 00:08:50.900
Well, the truth is he probably
was swinging for the head,
179
00:08:51.950 --> 00:08:53.300
but he was a fisherman.
180
00:08:53.300 --> 00:08:55.860
He was not a man that regularly a sword.
181
00:08:55.860 --> 00:08:59.460
He made a mistake and
instead of getting the head,
182
00:08:59.460 --> 00:09:01.020
he got the ear.
183
00:09:01.020 --> 00:09:04.620
And in fact, the Bible says
he cut off his right ear.
184
00:09:04.620 --> 00:09:07.290
The word cut off
describes a downward swing
185
00:09:07.290 --> 00:09:11.280 line:15%
that cuts something off in the
word ear in Greek describes
186
00:09:11.280 --> 00:09:14.040 line:15%
the entire outer ear.
187
00:09:14.940 --> 00:09:17.190
Now this is amazing for me.
188
00:09:17.190 --> 00:09:19.350
Here he was swinging
for the head, he missed,
189
00:09:19.350 --> 00:09:21.180
he got the ear.
190
00:09:21.180 --> 00:09:23.550
But now in front
191
00:09:23.550 --> 00:09:26.550
of Jesus is a wounded man
192
00:09:26.550 --> 00:09:28.975
that Peter has impetuously wounded.
193
00:09:28.975 --> 00:09:31.583
Blood is pouring from the
194
00:09:31.583 --> 00:09:33.270
side of his head.
195
00:09:33.270 --> 00:09:36.390
I can just imagine Malchus shocked.
196
00:09:36.390 --> 00:09:39.570
He's putting his hand on his
head trying to stop the blood
197
00:09:39.570 --> 00:09:41.640
that is pouring from the side of his head.
198
00:09:41.640 --> 00:09:43.380
And of course, when you cut the ear,
199
00:09:43.380 --> 00:09:45.480
it really bleeds profusely.
200
00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:49.770
He looks around, he sees
his ear lying on the ground.
201
00:09:49.770 --> 00:09:54.150
But we have to ask, who was
this man that Peter assaulted
202
00:09:54.150 --> 00:09:56.250
and why this man?
203
00:09:56.250 --> 00:09:58.710
Well, we know from John 18:10,
204
00:09:58.710 --> 00:10:01.140 line:15%
the man's name was Malchus,
205
00:10:01.140 --> 00:10:04.020 line:15%
and Malchus was the servant of the high priest
206
00:10:04.020 --> 00:10:05.400 line:15%
who was Caiaphas.
207
00:10:05.400 --> 00:10:07.680
Caiaphas, did not like Jesus.
208
00:10:07.680 --> 00:10:10.890
Caiaphas for years had
been trying to arrest Jesus
209
00:10:10.890 --> 00:10:13.800
and capture Jesus and kill Jesus.
210
00:10:13.800 --> 00:10:15.060
But what about this Malchus
211
00:10:15.060 --> 00:10:16.800
who was the servant of the high priest?
212
00:10:16.800 --> 00:10:20.280
Well, his name means ruler and counselor.
213
00:10:20.280 --> 00:10:22.500
So he was a mighty and a powerful man,
214
00:10:22.500 --> 00:10:25.860
and he was a counselor to Caiaphas the high priest.
215
00:10:25.860 --> 00:10:29.610
He was the personal
assistance of Caiaphas.
216
00:10:29.610 --> 00:10:33.120
Caiaphas was a member of the Sadducees.
217
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:36.450
The Sadducees did not
believe in the supernatural.
218
00:10:36.450 --> 00:10:38.160
That's one reason why Caiaphas was
219
00:10:38.160 --> 00:10:39.840
so against the ministry of Jesus.
220
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:41.610
He didn't believe all this bologna
221
00:10:41.610 --> 00:10:43.860
that Jesus was performing miracles
222
00:10:43.860 --> 00:10:46.440
because Caiaphas did not
believe in the supernatural.
223
00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:49.080
And in fact, the Sadducees
didn't even believe in the
224
00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:51.150
supernatural acts of the Old Testament.
225
00:10:51.150 --> 00:10:54.540
They thought they were just
fantasies, myths or legends.
226
00:10:54.540 --> 00:10:57.300
And therefore, Caiaphas was against Jesus
227
00:10:57.300 --> 00:11:00.060
and against all this supernatural activity
228
00:11:00.060 --> 00:11:03.450
and was antagonistic to the ministry of Jesus
229
00:11:03.450 --> 00:11:04.890
for one reason,
230
00:11:04.890 --> 00:11:06.720
because he didn't believe
in the supernatural.
231
00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:09.900
And because it seemed that
Jesus ministry was out
232
00:11:09.900 --> 00:11:14.220
of control, they were not able
to manage Jesus activities
233
00:11:14.220 --> 00:11:18.210
and therefore they felt great
antagonism toward Jesus.
234
00:11:18.210 --> 00:11:19.770
But as spokesman
235
00:11:19.770 --> 00:11:23.100
and the personal representative of the high priest,
236
00:11:23.100 --> 00:11:28.100
Malchus was a public voice for the high priest Caiaphas.
237
00:11:28.410 --> 00:11:33.270
And if Malchus was the mouthpiece for the high priest,
238
00:11:33.270 --> 00:11:35.040
it meant that it was Malchus
239
00:11:35.040 --> 00:11:39.900
who had publicly spoken atrocious statements about Jesus
240
00:11:39.900 --> 00:11:42.240
and his disciples.
241
00:11:43.650 --> 00:11:47.790
And now Peter looks in the crowd,
242
00:11:47.790 --> 00:11:51.150
they're laying flat put
out by the power of God.
243
00:11:51.150 --> 00:11:56.150
And when he saw Malchus - what an opportunity.
244
00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:59.590
Probably when Malchus came entering into the grotto
245
00:11:59.590 --> 00:12:03.340
or into the cave of Gethsemane, Peter already felt - ugh -
246
00:12:03.340 --> 00:12:06.040
it's this Malchus that has said such horrible things about
247
00:12:06.040 --> 00:12:09.400
Jesus and about the rest of us.
248
00:12:09.400 --> 00:12:12.267
He probably saw Malchus as someone he deeply,
249
00:12:12.267 --> 00:12:13.433
deeply resented.
250
00:12:13.433 --> 00:12:17.380
And there he stood dressed
in all his royal gear.
251
00:12:17.380 --> 00:12:19.510
He looked so powerful, so mighty
252
00:12:19.510 --> 00:12:22.000
that Peter had something against him.
253
00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:25.180
And now he was laying flat incapacitated,
254
00:12:25.180 --> 00:12:27.700
and when Peter saw him there,
255
00:12:27.700 --> 00:12:31.000
he impetuously believed
it was his opportunity
256
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:34.060
to take vengeance against this man
257
00:12:34.060 --> 00:12:37.870 line:15%
who had spoken atrocious
things against Jesus
258
00:12:37.870 --> 00:12:42.070 line:15%
and against the rest of the apostles. He swung his sword
259
00:12:42.070 --> 00:12:45.610 line:15%
but guess what - few scholars believed
260
00:12:45.610 --> 00:12:48.040 line:15%
Peter singled him out by chance.
261
00:12:48.040 --> 00:12:50.020 line:15%
They believed this was very deliberate
262
00:12:50.020 --> 00:12:53.320
because Peter had something against him and my friends,
263
00:12:53.320 --> 00:12:56.110
he wasn't swinging for
the ear, he was swinging
264
00:12:56.110 --> 00:12:58.270
for the head and missed.
265
00:12:58.270 --> 00:13:01.210
But when that sword came
down the side of his ear,
266
00:13:01.210 --> 00:13:06.130
it lopped off the right ear of Malchus.
267
00:13:06.130 --> 00:13:08.800
Well, this was a very serious situation.
268
00:13:08.800 --> 00:13:10.660
First of all, Malchus was a very public
269
00:13:10.660 --> 00:13:12.130
individual, very well known.
270
00:13:12.130 --> 00:13:14.380
And Peter now had violated law.
271
00:13:14.380 --> 00:13:19.240
Peter could go to prison for
assaulting a public official.
272
00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:21.490
And it's also important to note
273
00:13:22.870 --> 00:13:26.020
that it when a person was bodily impaired
274
00:13:26.020 --> 00:13:28.960
or disfigured, he was no longer allowed
275
00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:31.840
to perform certain
functions in holy sights.
276
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:33.670
And such a disfigurement
277
00:13:33.670 --> 00:13:37.900
of losing an ear would
prohibit malus from serving in
278
00:13:37.900 --> 00:13:39.700
temple premises.
279
00:13:39.700 --> 00:13:41.710
But rather than let him be disfigured
280
00:13:41.710 --> 00:13:45.550
and lose his profession,
Jesus stepped forward
281
00:13:45.550 --> 00:13:48.460
and healed him and protected his ability
282
00:13:48.460 --> 00:13:52.840
to serve in his profession
alongside the high priest.
283
00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:54.280
And the healing
284
00:13:54.280 --> 00:13:58.240
of Malchus' ear was the last miracle
285
00:13:58.240 --> 00:13:59.920
that Jesus performed
286
00:13:59.920 --> 00:14:02.950
before his death, his burial and his resurrection.
287
00:14:02.950 --> 00:14:07.360
So just before Jesus went to the cross,
288
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:11.170
the last miracle he
performed was helping one
289
00:14:11.170 --> 00:14:15.250
who had previously
declared Jesus to be a foe
290
00:14:15.250 --> 00:14:17.170
and declared him to be an enemy.
291
00:14:17.170 --> 00:14:21.340
And now Jesus steps forward
to help this man that has been
292
00:14:21.340 --> 00:14:23.200
so negative about him
293
00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:27.460
in the past. Jesus had the opportunity to say, finally one
294
00:14:27.460 --> 00:14:30.430
of you guys get what you deserve.
295
00:14:30.430 --> 00:14:33.760
That that's not what Jesus
did. That's what Peter did.
296
00:14:33.760 --> 00:14:37.720
But instead, Jesus stepped
forward and healed this man.
297
00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:42.340
And what a contrast Jesus
actions were to the behavior
298
00:14:42.340 --> 00:14:43.870
of Peter.
299
00:14:43.870 --> 00:14:47.980
But Jesus had to clean up Peter's mess
300
00:14:47.980 --> 00:14:49.990
before he could go any further
301
00:14:49.990 --> 00:14:53.630
because Peter's action could
cause him to be prosecuted.
302
00:14:53.630 --> 00:14:57.410
He had publicly assaulted
a very visible man.
303
00:14:57.410 --> 00:15:00.080
Peter could go to jail for this.
304
00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:02.090
Peter's actions were criminal.
305
00:15:02.090 --> 00:15:07.090
He could have been sentenced for injuring a notable citizen.
306
00:15:07.850 --> 00:15:10.310
Wow, just moments before -
307
00:15:10.310 --> 00:15:11.810
now think about this - moments
308
00:15:11.810 --> 00:15:16.310
before Jesus was kneeling on top of that outcropping
309
00:15:16.310 --> 00:15:18.260 line:15%
of rock in the Garden of Gethsemane
310
00:15:18.260 --> 00:15:20.510 line:15%
under such great pressure as he prayed
311
00:15:20.510 --> 00:15:23.390 line:15%
that he was sweating great drops of blood,
312
00:15:23.390 --> 00:15:25.700 line:15%
but he won the battle in prayer
313
00:15:25.700 --> 00:15:28.040
then he received a kiss
314
00:15:28.040 --> 00:15:31.190
of betrayal from Judas. That must have been shocking to him.
315
00:15:31.190 --> 00:15:35.690
And now a new problem suddenly emerges
316
00:15:35.690 --> 00:15:37.730
because of Peter's behavior.
317
00:15:37.730 --> 00:15:41.420
Blood is pouring from the
side of Malcolm's head.
318
00:15:41.420 --> 00:15:44.990
It is dripping from the blade
that Peter held in his hand.
319
00:15:44.990 --> 00:15:47.810
And suddenly in Luke 22:51,
320
00:15:47.810 --> 00:15:52.220 line:15%
the Bible tells us Jesus
said, suffer ye thus far,
321
00:15:52.220 --> 00:15:56.420
which means Jesus said, pause,
pause, pause, pause, pause.
322
00:15:56.420 --> 00:16:00.170
Everybody stop. Give me a moment.
323
00:16:00.170 --> 00:16:02.630
It was the equivalent of
saying, give me amendment.
324
00:16:02.630 --> 00:16:05.150
Just give me a little
time to do one more thing
325
00:16:05.150 --> 00:16:07.070
before you take me.
326
00:16:07.070 --> 00:16:10.130
Jesus had to clean up Peter's mess
327
00:16:10.130 --> 00:16:11.750
or Peter would've gone to jail
328
00:16:11.750 --> 00:16:14.240
and Jesus didn't want Peter to go to jail.
329
00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:17.390 line:15%
And when you come to Luke 22:51, it says,
330
00:16:17.390 --> 00:16:20.990 line:15%
Jesus touched his ear and healed him.
331
00:16:20.990 --> 00:16:24.230
And the word touched by the
way means to firmly grasp
332
00:16:24.230 --> 00:16:27.620 line:15%
or to hold tightly, which
means when Jesus prayed
333
00:16:27.620 --> 00:16:30.860
for people, they really knew
they had been prayed for.
334
00:16:30.860 --> 00:16:34.760 line:15%
And the word healed means to
cure, to restore or to heal.
335
00:16:34.760 --> 00:16:38.660
And the Bible doesn't tell us
whether Jesus reached over,
336
00:16:38.660 --> 00:16:41.330
took the ear that was on the
ground and put it back on,
337
00:16:41.330 --> 00:16:43.700
or whether he grew a brand new ear on the
338
00:16:43.700 --> 00:16:45.350
stump that remained.
339
00:16:45.350 --> 00:16:47.900
But by the time that Jesus was finished,
340
00:16:47.900 --> 00:16:50.540
there was a brand new
ear on the right side
341
00:16:50.540 --> 00:16:53.990
of Malcolm's head that is just amazing,
342
00:16:53.990 --> 00:16:56.570
the power which was in the Garden
343
00:16:56.570 --> 00:16:58.640
of Gethsemane: with one word,
344
00:16:58.640 --> 00:17:01.100
he knocked the whole forces flat.
345
00:17:01.100 --> 00:17:02.990
Jesus grew an ear
346
00:17:02.990 --> 00:17:05.540
or restored an ear to the
side of Malcolm's head.
347
00:17:05.540 --> 00:17:09.680
And that is why Jesus said in Matthew 26:53,
348
00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:13.340 line:15%
Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my father
349
00:17:13.340 --> 00:17:15.950 line:15%
and he shall presently
give me more than 12
350
00:17:15.950 --> 00:17:18.200 line:15%
legions of angels.
351
00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:20.510
Jesus didn't need a
little sword to help him.
352
00:17:20.510 --> 00:17:22.670
He didn't need Peter's intervention.
353
00:17:22.670 --> 00:17:25.040
If he had wanted to, he
could have called up on 12
354
00:17:25.040 --> 00:17:26.120
legions of angels.
355
00:17:26.120 --> 00:17:27.470
And 12 legions
356
00:17:27.470 --> 00:17:31.370
of angels is 72,000 angels.
357
00:17:31.370 --> 00:17:34.070
Well, if you take into account that in Isaiah 37:
358
00:17:34.070 --> 00:17:37.850
36, 1 angel - 1 angel, by himself
359
00:17:37.850 --> 00:17:41.030
killed 185,000 men in one night.
360
00:17:41.030 --> 00:17:45.410
Now multiply 185,000 by 72,000
361
00:17:45.410 --> 00:17:47.570
and you find that 12 legions
362
00:17:47.570 --> 00:17:50.880
of angels would have the combined force
363
00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:54.780
to kill 13,320,000,000 people,
364
00:17:54.780 --> 00:17:58.170
which is twice the current
population of the earth.
365
00:17:58.170 --> 00:18:01.410
That's how much power
was available to Jesus.
366
00:18:01.410 --> 00:18:03.810
But Jesus didn't call on them
367
00:18:03.810 --> 00:18:05.970
because he knew it was the
will of the Father for him
368
00:18:05.970 --> 00:18:08.640
to die on the cross as the lamb of God.
369
00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:11.100
But wait, wait, wait.
One more thing happened.
370
00:18:11.100 --> 00:18:15.240
When you come to Mark 14:51-52, the Bible adds
371
00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:17.100
and there followed him.
372
00:18:17.100 --> 00:18:20.130
The word followed means to continuously follow.
373
00:18:20.130 --> 00:18:23.250
So somebody was trailing
Jesus and the others:
374
00:18:24.240 --> 00:18:25.530
and there followed him
375
00:18:25.530 --> 00:18:27.030 line:15%
or trailed him,
376
00:18:27.030 --> 00:18:31.260 line:15%
a certain young man having
a linen cloth cast about his
377
00:18:31.260 --> 00:18:35.430 line:15%
naked body and the young
man laid hold on him
378
00:18:35.430 --> 00:18:39.390 line:15%
and he left the linen cloth
and fled from them naked.
379
00:18:39.390 --> 00:18:41.790
So we have to ask, who is this young man?
380
00:18:41.790 --> 00:18:43.650
Why in the world is he naked
381
00:18:43.650 --> 00:18:46.560
and why was he dressed in a linen cloth?
382
00:18:46.560 --> 00:18:49.770
Well, the words linen cloth
are from a Greek word used
383
00:18:49.770 --> 00:18:53.010 line:15%
to depict the linen
cloth in which the body
384
00:18:53.010 --> 00:18:55.680 line:15%
of Jesus was wrapped for his own burial.
385
00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:58.890 line:15%
And this phrase, linen cloth
386
00:18:58.890 --> 00:19:00.840 line:15%
describes a burial shroud used
387
00:19:00.840 --> 00:19:03.780 line:15%
for covering a dead body in a grave.
388
00:19:03.780 --> 00:19:06.480
Well, I told you in a
previous program that in
389
00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:08.850
that particular part
of the Mount of Olives,
390
00:19:08.850 --> 00:19:13.020
they were graves where the
wealthy buried their dead.
391
00:19:13.020 --> 00:19:18.000
And apparently this young
boy had been buried naked,
392
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:20.010
as was the custom of the Jews.
393
00:19:20.010 --> 00:19:22.020
He was covered with a burial shroud,
394
00:19:22.020 --> 00:19:24.540
which here is called a linen cloth.
395
00:19:24.540 --> 00:19:26.790
But when Jesus said I am
396
00:19:26.790 --> 00:19:29.400
and power was detonated that knocked
397
00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:34.400
that army back on its back,
the same power which knocked
398
00:19:34.530 --> 00:19:39.150
that army flat caused a rumbling in the local cemetery.
399
00:19:39.150 --> 00:19:41.970 line:15%
A boy was raised from the dead.
400
00:19:41.970 --> 00:19:45.390 line:15%
I call it a periphery or
an accidental resurrection.
401
00:19:45.390 --> 00:19:47.520 line:15%
The boy comes crawling out of his tomb.
402
00:19:47.520 --> 00:19:49.080 line:15%
This is the naked boy in the Garden
403
00:19:49.080 --> 00:19:51.090 line:15%
of Gethsemane carrying the cloth,
404
00:19:51.090 --> 00:19:53.220 line:15%
which which he had been buried.
405
00:19:53.220 --> 00:19:54.870 line:15%
And the Bible says, the young men
406
00:19:54.870 --> 00:19:58.620 line:15%
or the soldiers laid hold on him and he left the linen cloth
407
00:19:58.620 --> 00:20:00.300 line:15%
and fled from them naked.
408
00:20:00.300 --> 00:20:03.540
Here we find that the soldiers
said, somebody get that kid.
409
00:20:03.540 --> 00:20:06.480
We don't need another rumor
of another resurrection.
410
00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:08.520
But he escaped from them
411
00:20:08.520 --> 00:20:12.180
and now they stand there
holding the burial cloth
412
00:20:12.180 --> 00:20:16.950
of a boy just raised from the dead.
413
00:20:16.950 --> 00:20:18.840
As they stood there holding that cloth,
414
00:20:20.760 --> 00:20:23.280
those with Judas Iscariot must have wondered, what kind
415
00:20:23.280 --> 00:20:27.390
of man have we come to arrest?
416
00:20:27.390 --> 00:20:31.950
Jesus had such power even
when he was being arrested,
417
00:20:31.950 --> 00:20:36.780
and that's why Jesus later told Pilate in John 19:
418
00:20:36.780 --> 00:20:41.250 line:15%
11 - Thou couldest have no power at all against me,
419
00:20:41.250 --> 00:20:44.700 line:15%
except it were given to thee from above.
420
00:20:45.930 --> 00:20:50.930
No one took Jesus. No one
had the power to take Jesus.
421
00:20:50.980 --> 00:20:55.270
Jesus stood forward and
willingly surrendered himself
422
00:20:55.270 --> 00:20:57.970
because he knew the
will of God was for him
423
00:20:57.970 --> 00:20:59.680
to go on the cross to die for me
424
00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:02.170
and to die for you as the lamb of God
425
00:21:02.170 --> 00:21:06.190
and to be raised from the dead
and to defeat death for me
426
00:21:06.190 --> 00:21:08.170 line:15%
and for you.
427
00:21:08.170 --> 00:21:10.990 line:15%
But in the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus had
428
00:21:10.990 --> 00:21:13.150 line:15%
to clean up Peter's mess.
429
00:21:13.150 --> 00:21:18.100 line:15%
And now we find a boy was
raised from the dead just
430
00:21:18.100 --> 00:21:21.820 line:15%
in the moment that Jesus
was being arrested.
431
00:21:21.820 --> 00:21:24.250 line:15%
Oh, but there's so much more for us
432
00:21:24.250 --> 00:21:27.190 line:15%
to learn in the Easter story.
433
00:21:27.190 --> 00:21:29.200
I'll be back in just a moment.
434
00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:32.740 line:15%
Are you tired of the same
watered down Easter sermons?
435
00:21:32.740 --> 00:21:36.460

00:21:40.570 --> 00:21:42.220 line:15%
of Jesus' sacrifice.
439
00:21:42.220 --> 00:21:43.750 line:15%
This series is an opportunity
440
00:21:43.750 --> 00:21:47.260

today. In this powerful 15-part series, you'll learn -
443
00:21:52.990 --> 00:21:55.780 line:15%
how many soldiers it took to arrest Jesus:

the reality of Judases kiss of betrayal: the horror
445
00:21:58.990 --> 00:22:01.900 line:15%

446
00:22:01.900 --> 00:22:04.510 line:15%

449
00:22:10.870 --> 00:22:13.420 line:15%
the details of Jesus' death, burial

00:22:13.420 --> 00:22:16.630 line:15%
and resurrection, which are
the cornerstone of our faith.
451
00:22:16.630 --> 00:22:19.090 line:15%
His death was not just a tragic event,
452
00:22:19.090 --> 00:22:22.750 line:15%
it was a purposeful act of
love that fulfilled God's plan
453

for redemption. By taking on the weight
454
00:22:24.820 --> 00:22:26.080 line:15%
of our transgressions,
455
00:22:26.080 --> 00:22:28.990
Jesus bridged the gap between sinful humanity
456
00:22:28.990 --> 00:22:30.250
and a holy God.
457
00:22:30.250 --> 00:22:32.890 line:15%

468
00:23:05.740 --> 00:23:06.790
Hey, this is Rick Renner
469
00:23:06.790 --> 00:23:09.760
and I am in the Production Fulfillment part
470
00:23:09.760 --> 00:23:11.860
of the Tulsa Ministry Headquarters.
471
00:23:11.860 --> 00:23:13.810
And I just love to come here
472
00:23:13.810 --> 00:23:16.120
because I see what people are ordering.
473
00:23:16.120 --> 00:23:17.320
For example here,
474
00:23:17.320 --> 00:23:19.750
someone has just ordered the 5-part series called, How
475
00:23:19.750 --> 00:23:22.360
to Have Peace of Mind In Troubled Times.
476
00:23:22.360 --> 00:23:24.760
I know this person just became a partner
477
00:23:24.760 --> 00:23:26.980
because we're sending them our personal testimony,
478
00:23:26.980 --> 00:23:28.570
which is called Unlikely.
479
00:23:28.570 --> 00:23:31.870
We always send that to
anyone who becomes a partner.
480
00:23:31.870 --> 00:23:35.650
And then a person here just ordered, World Before the Flood.
481
00:23:35.650 --> 00:23:36.910
That's 15 parts.
482
00:23:36.910 --> 00:23:41.470
And this person just ordered Easter - The Rest of the Story.
483
00:23:41.470 --> 00:23:43.960
But I'd just love to come here
484
00:23:43.960 --> 00:23:47.510 line:15%
and see all these teaching resources.
485
00:23:47.510 --> 00:23:49.100 line:15%
My friends, we send them out
486
00:23:49.100 --> 00:23:53.180 line:15%
by 10 thousands every
month and every year.
487
00:23:53.180 --> 00:23:55.310 line:15%
It is just amazing
488
00:23:55.310 --> 00:23:59.660 line:15%
and it's a great honor that anyone would want our teaching.
489
00:23:59.660 --> 00:24:00.800 line:15%
It's very humbling
490
00:24:00.800 --> 00:24:03.740 line:15%
and I'm very grateful that
God is using our ministry
491
00:24:03.740 --> 00:24:07.130 line:15%
and our teaching to strengthen
lives around the world.
492
00:24:07.130 --> 00:24:12.130 line:15%
And our partners are the ones helping us to do it.
493
00:24:12.170 --> 00:24:14.420
We're told in Proverbs 10:21, The Lips
494
00:24:14.420 --> 00:24:16.280
of the Righteous Feed many.
495
00:24:16.280 --> 00:24:19.460 line:15%
And I know that is the
assignment on my life.
496
00:24:19.460 --> 00:24:22.220 line:15%
It's to take the trusted
teaching of the Bible
497
00:24:22.220 --> 00:24:23.570 line:15%
to people around the world.
498
00:24:23.570 --> 00:24:26.900 line:15%
And right now we're trying
to pay off this facility
499
00:24:26.900 --> 00:24:30.320 line:15%
so we can release more
funds to taking the teaching
500
00:24:30.320 --> 00:24:32.270 line:15%
of the Bible to the ends of the earth.
501
00:24:32.270 --> 00:24:35.120 line:15%
We've already paid off 84%
502
00:24:35.120 --> 00:24:37.070
of our ministry expansion project,
503
00:24:37.070 --> 00:24:38.660
but we'd like to finish it.
504
00:24:38.660 --> 00:24:41.150
And if you're not a part of
the Giving Team yet today,
505
00:24:41.150 --> 00:24:43.310
I want to ask you to join our Giving Team
506
00:24:43.310 --> 00:24:45.860
so we can pay off this facility
507
00:24:45.860 --> 00:24:49.550
and release all those funds
into taking the teaching
508
00:24:49.550 --> 00:24:52.220
of the Bible to the ends of the earth.
509
00:25:04.250 --> 00:25:07.190
We are looking at Easter,
The Rest of the Story,
510
00:25:07.190 --> 00:25:10.250
and today we've been looking
at the fact that Jesus had
511
00:25:10.250 --> 00:25:12.740
to clean up Peter's mess.
512
00:25:12.740 --> 00:25:14.990 line:15%
Has Jesus ever had to
clean up a mess for you?
513
00:25:14.990 --> 00:25:18.260 line:15%
Aren't you glad that Jesus is so good
514
00:25:18.260 --> 00:25:21.260 line:15%
that when we do something that
is reckless or thoughtless
515
00:25:21.260 --> 00:25:24.050 line:15%
or impetuous, he loves
us so much, he steps in
516
00:25:24.050 --> 00:25:25.790 line:15%
to help us anyhow.
517
00:25:25.790 --> 00:25:27.980 line:15%
And we've also seen today
518
00:25:27.980 --> 00:25:31.100
that there was a rumbling in
the local cemetery at the time
519
00:25:31.100 --> 00:25:32.750
of Jesus arrest
520
00:25:32.750 --> 00:25:35.750
and a naked boy who had
been buried in the custom
521
00:25:35.750 --> 00:25:39.260
of the Jews, the Jews buried
the dead naked, covered them
522
00:25:39.260 --> 00:25:42.890
with a linen cloth, was raised
from the dead at the very
523
00:25:42.890 --> 00:25:44.330
time of Jesus arrest.
524
00:25:44.330 --> 00:25:47.360 line:15%
And here's an illustration
of that boy crawling out
525
00:25:47.360 --> 00:25:50.450 line:15%
of his tomb with his linen cloth.
526
00:25:50.450 --> 00:25:54.350 line:15%
My friends, Jesus has so much power
527
00:25:54.350 --> 00:25:56.510 line:15%
and he's got power for you.
528
00:25:56.510 --> 00:25:58.700
He has the power to do anything that needs
529
00:25:58.700 --> 00:26:02.120 line:15%
to be done in your life right now,
530
00:26:02.120 --> 00:26:04.190 line:15%
and we would love to pray with you.
531
00:26:04.190 --> 00:26:06.320 line:15%
So if you'll call the number on the screen
532
00:26:06.320 --> 00:26:08.090 line:15%
or send us an email, we'll pray with you
533
00:26:08.090 --> 00:26:12.110 line:15%
and for the power of Jesus Christ to do exactly what needs
534
00:26:12.110 --> 00:26:14.210 line:15%
to be done.
535
00:26:14.210 --> 00:26:15.860 line:15%
And I release the power of God
536
00:26:15.860 --> 00:26:19.610 line:15%
to you right now in Jesus' name - take it by faith.
537
00:26:20.780 --> 00:26:22.640
Now, when we come back
tomorrow, we're gonna move
538
00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:24.140
to the next part of the story.
539
00:26:24.140 --> 00:26:26.720
It is going to be a
riveting, don't miss it.
540
00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:30.230
But until then, I want you to remember Ecclesiastes 8:
541
00:26:30.230 --> 00:26:34.760
4, it says "Where the word of the king is, there is power."
542
00:26:37.460 --> 00:26:39.530
Hey friends, this is
Rick Renner and Denise
543
00:26:39.530 --> 00:26:42.990

560
00:27:29.580 --> 00:27:31.830
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
561
00:27:31.830 --> 00:27:36.210 line:15%
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
562
00:27:36.210 --> 00:27:38.370 line:15%
Jesus has to give you.
563
00:27:38.370 --> 00:27:42.450 line:15%
Pray this prayer with me right now - Lord,
564
00:27:42.450 --> 00:27:46.470
I repent of my sin and receive you as my Savior
565
00:27:46.470 --> 00:27:49.440
and Lord. Wash away my sin
566
00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:52.440
and make me completely new.
567
00:27:52.440 --> 00:27:56.250
I thank you that my sin is removed
568
00:27:56.250 --> 00:28:01.250
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
569
00:28:01.800 --> 00:28:05.760
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
570
00:28:05.760 --> 00:28:07.470
