The Gospel of John Week 23 Scripture: John 18. Our story begins with Jesus in the Garden and soldiers, high priests, and Judas come to the garden carrying torches, lanterns and weapons. Jesus goes out to meet them asking, "Who is it you want?" Clearly showing who's in charge. Something we will see Jesus repeat in the next hours. Jesus is in charge and He's always been in charge and that is a take home for us in our own lives as well. He's in charge! He's the Lord. Jesus knows all that is going to happen to Him. He's shared that with His disciples, though they will not fully understand until Jesus' resurrection. He is not blindsided by this group coming to the Garden. This is the reason He came, and this is the purpose for which He has come to carry out His work. Then Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest, cutting off his right ear. Jesus tells Peter to put his sword away - and Jesus says, Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given Me?" Jesus knows what's coming and is willing to go through with it all because it is the Father's desire and the Son always obeys the Father. Pastor delves into the personality of Peter and how we will see him go from cutting off the ear of this man, to denying he knows Jesus, to going on to become a powerful evangelist. And yet Peter was flawed, we are all flawed individuals. The Lord still used Peter. He transformed Peter and He transforms us and this story is a reminder that Jesus uses us, too. As we return to our story we know Jesus is in control but He willingly allows His hands to be bound. Jesus is willing to go all the way to the cross for us. He is then taken to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year.  Pastor shares some info on the recent discovery of an ossuary, bone box, belonging to Caiaphas and also some other archeological discoveries including a palatial mansion that may possibly be one of the locations where Jesus was tried. Pastor also reads some fascinating information from Eusebius' History of the Church and puts together some interesting pieces of historical evidence to help bring light to all that John is telling us. Now our story moves into Peter's first denial of knowing Jesus. Followed by Peter's second and third denial of knowing Jesus. And then we read that at that very moment the rooster crowed. And Peter suddenly remembers what he has done and what Jesus had said. There is a contentious conversation, verses 19-24, "the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching. "I have spoken openly to the world," Jesus replied. "I always taught in synagogues or at the temple, where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret. Why question me? Ask those who heard me. Surely they know what I said." When Jesus said this, one of the officials nearby slapped him in the face. "Is this the way you answer the high priest?" he demanded. "If I said something wrong," Jesus replied, "testify as to what is wrong. But if I spoke the truth, why did you strike me?" Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest." From Caiaphas Jesus was taken to the palace of the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate. It is now early morning. Pastor shares the logistics of getting Jesus there and the possible location of the praetorium, the governor's house. Pastor shares on the map the possible locations of this home. Jesus is brought before Pilate in verse 29 and Pilate asks what charges are being brought against Jesus, thus opening a court proceeding. Pastor shares interesting historical information about Jewish executions (stoning to death) and Roman executions (crucifixion), and what they were like. He shares the history of how the Romans, in the early first century, took away from the Jewish high priests and from the Sanhedrin, the right to convict and punish in capital cases and how the Romans demanded that they be the ones to carry that out. So this is why Jesus was crucified, and not stoned. Pilate then begins his questioning of Jesus and they have an in-depth conversation during which Jesus says, "The reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me."  Pilate replies, "What is truth?"  We live in a society where people are still asking that same question. And the answer is still the same. Jesus is Truth. The truth sets us free!

"Klasikā" ienirstam sintezatoru pasaulē! Sarunājamies ar sintezatoru ražošanas uzņēmuma "Erica Synths" dibinātāju un vadītāju Ģirtu Ozoliņu un mazliet arī ar komponisti Annu Fišeri: uzzinām vairāk par "Hanzas peronā" gaidāmo sintezatoru saietu, kurā satiksies divi sintezatoru kamerorķestri. Proti, 30. novembrī plkst. 19.00 "Hanzas peronā" klausītāji aicināti pieredzēt Latvijas mūzikas dzīvē līdz šim nebijušu notikumu – elektroniskās mūzikas koncertu diviem sintezatoru kamerorķestriem. Vakara programmā – pirmatskaņojums: komponistes Annas Fišeres jaundarbs Noesis astoņiem izpildītājiem un četrpadsmit sintezatoriem, piedaloties mūziķiem no Latvijas klasiskās un elektroniskās mūzikas scēnām, savukārt pirmo reizi dzīvajā izpildījumā – Igaunijas elektroniskās mūzikas leģendas Svena Grunberga (Sven Grünberg) skaņdarbi Igaunijas Elektroniskās mūzikas savienības ansambļa (EMA) sniegumā. Signe Lagzdiņa: "Hanzas peronā" esat iecerējuši sapulcināt sintezatorus: būs veselu divu sintezatoru kamerorķestru koncerts, un Annai Fišerei, kura ir "Erica Synths" rezidences māksliniece, tapis grandiozs jaundarbs, kas šajā koncertā piedzīvos pasaules pirmatskaņojumu. Visupirms vaicāšu Annai: pastāsti par savu rezidences laiku ar "Erica Sinth" un arī to, kā tu iekļuvi šajā sintezatoru pasaulē? Anna Fišere: Mana interese par mūziku, šķiet, aizsākās tieši ar eksperimentālo mūziku: mani iedvesmoja NSRD… Bija arī brīnišķīgs projekts, kurā izmantojām dažādus sintezatorus, interese turpinājās, un man ļoti paveicās, ka Ģirts mani uzrunāja: viņa atbalstu un atsaucību izjutu jau no paša sākuma, un tā tas turpinājies visa radošā procesa laikā. Ģirts ar savu jaudu un vīziju neapšaubāmi veido būtisku pienesumu, jo šis ir ļoti ambiciozs projekts: jūtu, kā tas ietekmē manu radošo domāšanu – tas ir nozīmīgs pagrieziens, kas ietekmē arī manu nākotnes izvēli. Cik sintezatoru piedalīsies tava skaņdarba pirmatskaņojumā? Nevarētu teikt, ka visi ir sintezatori. (..) Bet kopumā būs 19 ierīces – lielākas un mazākas kastītes. Pastāsti, lūdzu, par sava darba "Noesis" konceptu – kāds tas īsti būs? Ideja balstīta Platona koncepcijā par augstāko izziņas formu kā tiešu, intuitīvu patiesības uztveri. Tas bija virzītājspēks skaņdarba komponēšanas laikā. Es gan interesējos arī par citiem Platona darbiem – mani ārkārtīgi saviļņojusi viņa "Ala". Tad nu "Noesis" interpretēju saistībā tieši ar to, domājot par īstenību un šķitumu vai ilūzijām un īstenību, un to, kā navigēt gan šajā pasaulē, gan šķituma pasaulē. Tātad klausītāji varēs doties filozofiskā pārdomu ceļojumā. Kādā video dzirdēju, kā tu saki – ka klausītājiem nevajadzētu neko gaidīt, vienkārši būt atvērtiem un nākt uz koncertu. Ko tu esi pulcinājusi, lai šo darbu atskaņotu? Mums ir astoņi mūziķi, un ļoti interesanti, ka katram no šiem mūziķiem ir pilnīgi cita veida pieredze! Dzirdēsim pianistus Rihardu Plešanovu un Edgaru Tomševiču, bet Reinis Rabenau nav no akadēmiskās mūzikas vides, bet vairāk no elektronikas mūzikas pasaules un spēlēs modulāro sintezatoru. Vēl būs Kaspars Tobis, kuram ir milzīga pieredze ar sintezatoriem, jaunā perkusioniste, Guntara Freiberga ļoti talantīgā studente Sonja Misiņa, Ansels Kaugers, kurš tikko beidzis kompozīcijas studijas, Madara Ozoliņa spēlēs ļoti interesantu elektronisko pūšaminstrumentu, un Error, kas zināms kā ambientās mūzikas pārstāvis, un to visu diriģēs Artūrs Gailis. Ģirt, kā izauga lielā ideja par sintezatoru pasauli, kurā top dažādi projekti, skan koncerti, tiek aicināti komponisti, lai rada, darbojas un pēta šo lauciņu? Ģirts Ozoliņš: Sintezators, ja paņemam nost tā [māksliniecisko] pielietojumu, ir elektronisku shēmu samudžinājums – dzelzs. Un, ja nav iesaistīti mūziķi un komponisti, kas to spēlē, tam īsti nav jēgas. Ja nebūtu mūziķu, mēs nevarētu pastāvēt. Tas būtu tāpat kā ražot kapļus valstī, kurā nav lauksaimniecības. (Smejas.) Bet jūs taču varētu silti gulēt uz sava uzņēmuma lauriem un priecāties, ka pasaulslaveni mūziķi pērk jūsu instrumentus! Tieši tāpēc izveidojām savu rezidences studiju, kurā ir daudzu un dažādu interesantu sintezatoru kolekcija – gan paštaisītu, gan mūsu ražotu; esam arī mainījušies ar citiem ražotājiem. Vēl pirms rezidences sākām projektu "Garāža", kura ietvaros aicinājām mūziķus uzstāties mūsu koncertzālē, mēs šos koncertus filmējām, un visas uzstāšanās publicētas mūsu mājaslapā: sadaļā "Garāža" ir diezgan apjomīga kolekcija ar performancēm, intervijas ar mūziķiem. Tas ir ļoti labs materiāls, kas parāda, kā mūziķi jūtas pie šiem instrumentiem. Šķita, ka Latvijā ir tik daudz talantīgu mūziķu un komponistu, ka mēs viņiem varam sniegt vairāk iespēju izmēģināt netradicionālākus sintezatorus un parādīt arī sevi plašāk pasaulē. Mums ir diezgan daudz sekotāju sociālajos tīklos, kas tam, ko mēs darām – mūziķi, komponisti un producenti ārvalstīs. Ar savām iniciatīvām popularizējam Latvijas talantus arī pasaulē. Kā īsti orientēties sintezatoru kastīšu jūklī? Ir sintezatori ar taustiņiem, un ir tādi, kuriem ir tikai vadiņi un skaļuma regulētāji... Vai viens no jūsu mērķiem nav parādīt, ka sintezators ir daudz plašāks un nozīmīgāks instruments un ka tas nav pielietojams tikai deju vai popmūzikā? Jā, tur ir tas lielais pārpratums, un varbūt nedaudz vainīga ir arī pati popmūzika. Ja mēs paskatāmies sintezatoru attīstības vēsturi, tie radās tad, kad modernās mūzikas pionieri vēlējās īstenot savas radošās ieceres, bet klasiskie instrumenti, kas viņiem bija pieejami, to neļāva. Piemēram, Karlheincs Štokhauzens 50. gadu vidū reiz ieradās savā Ķelnes studijā, kur viņš daudzus gadus rezidēja: studijas inženieri bija dabūjuši tam laikam inovatīvas elektroniskās ērģeles un teica – re, tagad varēsi eksperimentēt! Taču Štokhauzens atbildēja, ka ērģeles viņam nederot, jo taustiņu izklājums hromatiskajā gammā ierobežojot viņa radošo lidojumu. Tāpēc viņš Ķelnes studijā savāca skaņas ģeneratorus – Annas jau pieminētās zilzaļās kastītes, kas taisa troksni, pīkst: šie ģeneratori oriģināli tika izmantoti akustiskajās laboratorijās, zinātniskajos mērījumos. Taču Štokhauzens sāk šos ģeneratorus izmantot, lai veidotu savu mūziku.  Drusciņ vēlāk, 60. gadu vidū, komponists Mortons Subotniks Amerikā arī gribēja veidot savu elektronisko mūziku, bet viņam nebija, ar ko to darīt. Viņš dabūja milzīgu finansējumu no kādas universitātes, un vērsās pie inženiera Dona Buklasa, kas speciāli viņam izstrādāja sintezatoru, kuru izmantoja savā revolucionārajā skaņdarbā "Silver apples of the Moon, per nastro magnetico", kas tapis 1967. gadā. (..) Tieši komponistu ieceres, kuras viņi nevarēja realizēt ar klasiskajiem instrumentiem, aizveda pie tā, ka radās sintezatori. Ja vispārinām, atbildot uz jūsu jautājumu – sintezators ir jebkas, kas kontrolētā veidā var radīt skaņu. Respektīvi, tam ir kaut kādi kloķīši, podziņas vai kāda kontroles virsma, ar kurām manipulējot, mūziķis rada tādu skaņu, kādu viņš iecerējis. Klaviatūra sintezatoram obligāti nav nepieciešama – lai gan tieši tādus mēs parasti iedomājamies sintezatorus, kurus mēs redzam mūzikas veikalos vai mūzikas stundās. Reiz vadīju meistarklasi Igaunijā, kurā piedalījās viens šobrīd jau ievērojams igauņu komponists un mūzikas pētnieks. Viņš, ja nemaldos, Vīnes Mūzikas akadēmijā bija aizstāvējis maģistra darbu par mūzikas instrumentu interfeisiem, un manā meistarklasē viņš teica tā: "Klaviatūras domātas švakajiem." (Smejas) Tā ka sintezatori rada skaņu, bet tiem nav obligāti jābūt ierobežotiem ar kādu specifisku interfeisu jeb veidu, kā mūziķis sadarbojas ar sintezatoriem. Tas var būt arī žests. Ir vairāki uzņēmumi, kas ražo īpašus kontrolierus, kur mūziķis var uzvesties kā diriģents un vadīt sintezatoru, tam nepieskaroties.  Vairāk – audioierakstā.  

Vairāk nekā gadu komponiste Anna Fišere pavadījusi, kā pati saka, „sintezatoru paradīzē”: Latvijas elektroniskās mūzikas instrumentu ražotāja „Erica Synths” mākslinieku rezidencē viņa komponēja skaņdarbu sintezatoru orķestrim. Tajā satiekas astoņi mūziķi no akadēmiskās un elektroniskās mūzikas pasaules, raugot paplašināt klausītāju skaņu pieredzi un lauzt stereotipus par sintezatoriem kā konkrēta žanra instrumentu. Skaņdarbs „Noesis” pirmatskaņojumu piedzīvos 30. novembrī Hanzas peronā, kur sintezatoru saspēli varēs ne vien dzirdēt, bet arī vērot instrumentu lielo daudzveidību.  Mēģinājumā diriģents Artūrs Gailis saskaņo astoņu mūziķu darbu pie sintezatoriem, no kuriem daudzi absolūti neatgādina sintezatorus klasiskā izpratnē – taustiņu vietā ir pogas, slēdži un vadi. Daudz, daudz vadu. Un daudz klasiskās mūzikas atskaņojumam neierastu svešvārdu. Jaundarba mēģinājumi notiek elektronisko mūzikas instrumentu ražotāja „Erica Synths” studijā Ķīpsalā. Uzņēmums šurp pārcēlies pirms diviem gadiem no Andrejsalas, uzceļot paši savu ideālo pasauli – telpas darbiniekiem, studiju koncertiem, telpu mākslinieku rezidencei un lielu virtuvi, kurā paši gatavo ēst un veido tam pat atsevišķu „Instagram” kontu. Kamēr mūziķi mēģina, „Erica Synths” dibinātājs Ģirts Ozoliņš iepazīstina ar uzņēmuma mājvietu, kurā iekārtota arī rezidences studija mūziķiem. Fonā mūs pavada no studijas nākošās skaņdarba „Noesis” skaņas. Tieši pateicoties Ģirta Ozoliņa ierosmei, Anna Fišere šeit rezidencē radījusi jaundarbu sintezatoriem. Viņa pie tā strādājusi veselu gadu. Ozoliņu uzrunājuši drosmīgie elektroniskās mūzikas risinājumi iepriekšējos Annas Fišeres skaņdarbos, un vadījusi arī vēlme veidot ciešāku sadarbību ar Jāzepa Vītola Latvijas Mūzikas akadēmiju, kuras rīkotajam mūsdienu mūzikas festivālam „deciBels” Fišere ir mākslinieciskā vadītāja.  Annas Fišeres jaundarba „Noesis” pirmatskaņojums – 30.novembrī Hanzas peronā. Bet šī koncerta pirmajā daļā dzirdēsim Igaunijas elektroniskās mūzikas leģendas Svena Grinberga (Sven Grünberg) skaņdarbus Igaunijas Elektroniskās mūzikas savienības ansambļa sniegumā.

John 11:45-53,Many of the Jews therefore, who had come with Mary and had seen what he did, believed in him, 46 but some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. 47 So the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered the council and said, “What are we to do? For this man performs many signs. 48 If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.” 49 But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all. 50 Nor do you understand that it is better for you that one man should die for the people, not that the whole nation should perish.” 51 He did not say this of his own accord, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation, 52 and not for the nation only, but also to gather into one the children of God who are scattered abroad. 53 So from that day on they made plans to put him to death.We live in times, sadly, in which it's not hard to imagine public officials seeking their own benefit. Covering their own interests. Talking arrogantly and rudely. Pursuing political expediency in which seemingly righteous ends are said to justify grossly unrighteous means.Unfortunately, it's not hard to imagine leaders like Caiaphas. As we hear about Caiaphas, we have lessons to learn by way of contrast. And there are marvels to see here about our God and his Son and the wonder of the grace of his gospel.Jesus on the RiseLast Sunday we heard how Jesus's sovereign, omnipotent word raised the dead man, four days in the tomb. John 11:43-44,“‘Lazarus, come out!' The man who had died came out…”Jesus continues as the ascendency, and now, having raised a well-known dead man, so near Jerusalem, he's turning the city upside down. Many believe (v. 45), but others go to the Pharisees and stir up trouble (v. 46). They gather the high court, “the council,” called the Sanhedrin, made up of 70 priests and elders and scribes, with the high priest presiding. And they say,“What are we to do? For this man performs many signs.”Indeed he does: water into wine (2:11), cleansing the temple (2:15), restoring a dead son to life (4:53), healing the sick of all kinds (6:2), multiplying five loaves and two fish to feed thousands (6:14), giving sight to a blind man (9:16), and now, raising a dead man who had been in the grave four days (11:44).Yes, he has done many signs. But instead of asking, like many common people are, “Could this be the long-promised Christ?” the leaders as a whole are tragically more concerned with preserving their own place and privilege. They are more oriented on political concerns with the unbelieving Romans than with spiritual concerns in their Scriptures. “If we let [Jesus] go on like this,” they say, “everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation” (v. 48).Which bring us to the fateful moment, in verses 49–52.God Versus High PriestAt the council, Caiaphas, the high priest, speaks the decisive word. It comes from his mouth; it comes out of his heart. It is fully his. He is fully responsible for it. And John tells us in verse 51, “He did not say this of his own accord.” Who's accord, then, was it? God's accord. Jesus has talked over and over in this Gospel of his coming and his acting as “not of his own accord” but his Father's. This is God's accord, God's plan.So what we have in verse 50 is two visions of the coming death of Jesus: Caiaphas's and God's. Caiaphas perceives the situation, considers his own interest, and issues his counsel, which carries the day. And God is not caught off guard; he doesn't rush in to fix things and “turn” them for good. No, before Caiaphas willed it, God willed it. Before Caiaphas said it, God planned it. God superintends these evil words, from Caiaphas's evil heart, for God's good purposes and the salvation of his people from sin and death.And strange as this sounds in our ears, this is not new in the Bible. This is how the first book of the Bible ends. In Genesis 50:20, Joseph says to his brothers who sold him into slavery,“As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good…”He doesn't say God used it or that God turned it. Sinners meant evil; God meant it (same evil) for good. Same evil, two intentions. And we see something similar near the end of the Bible in Revelation 17:17,“God has put it into their hearts [wicked earthly rulers] to carry out his purpose by being of one mind and handing over their royal power to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled…”So, as the council meets, God is not wringing his hands, saying, “Oh no, the high priest is giving the decisive word to put my Son to death.” No, God has planned it. He has orchestrated every detail. In Acts 4:28, early Christians would praise God for bringing to pass at the cross “whatever your hand and your plan had predestined to take place.” Oh Caiaphas means evil against Jesus, but God means it for good, to bring it about that many people should be saved.So, let's meditate on this double meaning in the words of Caiaphas in three parts.1. Two Visions of the PeopleWhat does Caiaphas mean when he says the people? Look at verse 50:“…it is better for you [Sanhedrin] that one man should die for the people, not that the whole nation should perish.”For Caiaphas, “the people” and “the whole nation” are ethnic Jews. Caiaphas wants to preserve his own ethnicity, and as we'll see, he has very selfish reasons for doing so. So, by “people” and “nation” Caiaphas means ethnic Jews.What does God mean? Verses 51-52:[Caiaphas] did not say this of his own accord, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation, 52 and not for the nation only, but also to gather into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.So, for God, “the people” means “the children of God” which is not every ethnic Jew, nor is it limited only to ethnic Jews. The “children of God” are all who believe in Jesus — many believers in Jesus are among the Jews, as we've already seen, and now comes a stunning expansion, like we saw in John 10:16: Jesus has “other sheep” who are not of the Jewish fold — that is, Gentiles!God's chosen children are not limited to Israel; nor is every ethnic Israelite included. From the beginning, God chose ethnic Israel historically as a channel to bring his eternal salvation to all the nations. Now, at last, Messiah has come. And now, by surprise, Messiah goes to a sacrificial death — and through him the gates swing wide to all who believe, all believing Jews and all believing Gentiles. The chosen sheep, scattered among the nations, are “the children of God,” which will come to be called “the church.”And here's the scandal of Jesus's sacrificial achievement in gathering God's children from all nations: in Christ, fellow believers in faraway places, of different nations and ethnicities, are closer by far than fellows in ethnicity, place, and mere human nation. And so today, if you are in Christ, you have something far more important in common with a Christian in China or Russia, than you do with your unbelieving American neighbor who just happens to prefer the same political party you do.So, first, two visions of the people: Caiaphas means ethnic Jews. God means a new-covenant spiritual people from every nation, scattered abroad, and called the church.2. Two Visions of SubstitutionCaiaphas's proposal is for substitution. A people are in danger of destruction. So substitute one man on behalf of the people, and kill him, so that the people do not perish. A political scapegoat. Verse 50 again:“…it is better for you that one man should die for the people, not that the whole nation should perish.”For Caiaphas, one man, Jesus, should perish, so that the Messianic fervor dissipates, the Jesus movement fades, and almighty Rome remains undisturbed and doesn't come and destroy Jerusalem and the temple. And amazingly, in the superintending providence of God, Caiaphas words this in sacrificial language. One man, he says, will die “for the people” — literally, on behalf of the people. Of course, Caiaphas means it politically. This is pure politics, not spiritual leadership. This is vintage political expediency. And par for the course in world politics. Perhaps you've heard it called the end justifies the means. The end goal is seen to be good, and so the means used to get there are compromised. And mark this: this is evil. Normal and justifiable as it may seem, this is evil in God's eyes. And this, normal politics as it might be, carries the day not in Rome but in Jerusalem among the council of 70 priests and elders and Pharisees, from the mouth of Israel's high priest. More on that in a minute.What about for God? What does he mean by this substitution? Verses 51-52 again:[Caiaphas] did not say this of his own accord, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation, 52 and not for the nation only, but also to gather into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.For God, his own Son, the eternal second person of the Godhead, fully divine, now fully human as man — Jesus dies on behalf of the children of God. And oh the irony of the sacrificial language — uttered by Israel's high priest for political expedience, and totally unaware that in his very words he formulates, in the sacrificial terms of Israel's religion, the very mechanism God uses to bring that sacrificial system and first covenant to its long-awaited apex and conclusion. This sacrifice of Jesus is the very Sacrifice that for centuries all the animal sacrifices have anticipated — all the endless blood of bulls and goats and lambs that has flowed and flowed for centuries has pointed to this one man's flow of blood at the cross.Which brings us right to the heart of the good news of Jesus, and amazingly, in God's sovereignty, the words of Caiaphas, meant for evil, have us here, as God means them for good.Christians have long called this “penal substitution.”Penal means that a penalty is due for human sin. Sin is an affront to an infinitely worthy God. He made us, and in our sin we have turned our backs on him. And the New Testament makes it clear that the payment for sin is death (Romans 6:23). We all deserve the penalty of death, and eternal separation from God, because of our sin against him. Penal means there's a just penalty for our sin that must be paid.And the good news is that Jesus, in his death on the cross, is our substitute. We deserve death for our sin, but Jesus puts himself forward to die in our place, “on our behalf.” This sacrificial language of substitution runs all the way back to Leviticus — Jesus offers himself as the substitute, in our place, to receive our penalty of death (as animals did only temporarily in the old covenant), that he might then rise, and with him we too might be released to life.So, God's vision is penal substitution: Jesus is our substitute sin-bearer. He took the penalty of death we deserve for our sin, by substituting himself in our place at the cross, that all the children of God, scattered abroad, could be joined to him by faith and live.3. Two Visions of High PriesthoodCaiaphas is Israel's official high priest. There is no other high priest, only one. There are whole chapters of Scripture (Exodus 28–29; Leviticus 8, 16) that deal with his clothes and how to consecrate him for office, and what he does on the Day of Atonement, which is the one day each year when the high priest enters the Holy of Holies to offer the climactic annual sacrifice on behalf of the people. So, who was Israel's high priest that year? John tells us three times. Don't miss this, and don't miss the scandal of it.Verse 49: one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all…”Verse 51: [Caiaphas] did not say this of his own accord, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation…And John 18:13-14: once the soldiers arrested and bound Jesus, “First they led him to Annas, for he was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. 14 It was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews that it would be expedient that one man should die for the people.”So, it is Israel's high priest who gives the decisive word that puts Israel's long-awaited Messiah to death. The last act of Israel's final high priest is to give the word to kill Israel's Messiah.Oh the failure of the mere human and hereditary high priesthood! It failed from the very beginning:Think of Aaron, Moses's brother, the first high priest. What was his infamous first public act? He made and led the people in worshiping the golden calf. Then his sons, Nadab and Abihu “offered unauthorized fire before the Lord, which he had not commanded them. 2 And fire came out from before the Lord and consumed them, and they died before the Lord” (Leviticus 10:1-2).Next we think of negligent Eli and his worthless sons, Hophni and Phinehas (1 Sam 2).And more broadly, over and over again, Isaiah and Jeremiah and Ezekiel and Malachi condemn the greed and corruption and idolatry and neglect of Israel's priests.The history of Israel, from beginning to end, makes the lesson plain: mere humanity and heredity cannot provide the needed high priest to mediate between God and man.And Caiaphas sees that Israel's high priesthood goes out with a bang. This is so tragic: politics and its expediency have captured the high priest! He's ordained as the nation's spiritual leader and playing at politics! As Don Carson observes: “the nation perished anyway [in 70 AD], not because of Jesus' activity but because of the constant mad search for political solutions where there was little spiritual renewal.”O God, give your church spiritual renewal and free us from any “constant mad search for political solutions.”Lessons by ContrastWe see the kind of guy Caiaphas is by the first thing out of his mouth: “You know nothing at all.” That's how he talks. That's his tone: you guys are stupid. You're fools. What are you trying to do, solve this problem righteously? You're trying to fix this trouble without resorting to evil? Let me show you fools how to do it.And then, with the same mouth, and as with the mouth of Satan himself, he speaks the decisive word to put the nation's Messiah to death: “it is better for you that one man should die for the people.” Don't miss that “for you” in verse 50. He does not say it's better for the nation but “for you,” for you priests and elders and scribes in the room. It's better for you, Sanhedrin. This is wicked leadership.So, beware: fathers and mothers, teachers, business people, fellow pastors. Beware a tone that treats others like fools. It may seem small (“fight the world on the world's terms”). It's not small. Where is it coming from? From the heart. Your careless, socially conditioned, socially permissible words are coming from your own heart. And where are they going? It may be a first indicator that expediency is taking root in your heart. Beware the spirit of expediency that would say (or usually not even say it but just live it): my good ends justify these shady means. You are, in effect, saying, “Sin is okay, evil is okay, deception is okay, injustice is okay, if it serves the purpose for something I really want and would make my life a lot easier.”And in leadership beware the spirit of self-service (rather than self-sacrifice). Let me tell you what's really easy to do in a room of decision makers: decide on what's easiest for the room. What's best for the people here. Whether it's a Sanhedrin of 70 or an elder table of 8, the natural pull, apart from the help of God's Spirit, is for a room of sinners to work toward decisions that are easiest and best for the room.As your pastors, we are aware of this pull, and we pray and we resolve and we keep each other accountable that we not make decisions that are best for the room. Rather, as your pastors we take it as our call to ask for God's help and work toward decisions that are best for this church — and are often more costly for us personally. More work to do. More conversations to have. More calls to make, letters to write, topics to research, tasks to compete. This is how good leadership often works: more, not less, is required of the leaders to care well for their people. (A critical parenting lesson, especially in discipline!)Our Great High PriestI end with this, as we come to the Table: Did you realize there are two high priests in this passage? I didn't see this at first. Yes, there is Caiaphas, and as the high priesthood in Israel fails, and comes to its appointed end with one last and greatest failure of all, the one who emerges is not only our sacrifice and substitute but, as Hebrews calls him, our great high priest. I know priesthood can seem obscure and distant to us in the 21st century. Perhaps here's one way to get your bearings more around what it means to have Jesus as our great high priest: he is not like Caiaphas. Caiaphas was one of many and the last in Israel. Jesus is the first, and one and only, in the new covenant. Caiaphas's office was temporary. Jesus's is forever, and of an entirely different order. Caiaphas was evil, rude, self-serving. Jesus, our great high priest is…holy, innocent, unstained, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens. He has no need, like those [other] high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, first for his own sins and then for those of the people, since he did this once for all when he offered up himself. (Hebrews 7:26-27)Brothers and sisters in Christ, “we have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven” (Hebrews 8:1). “We do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:15-16).

Series: Signs & GloryTitle: Why does Jesus lead us into dark places?Scripture:

Human Design kann vieles erklären. Aber was macht es mit dir, wenn es plötzlich Sinn ergibt?In dieser Folge spreche ich mit Anna Seip über genau diesen Moment. Den Moment, in dem Chaos, Wut, Überforderung und wiederkehrende Konflikte nicht mehr wie persönliche Schwächen wirken, sondern wie ein Muster, das man endlich durchschauen kann.Anna erzählt, wie das Wissen über ihre emotionale Autorität etwas ausgelöst hat, woran vorher alles gescheitert ist – Therapie, Ratgeber, gut gemeinte Tipps. Wir reden darüber, warum Beziehungen oft an Missverständnissen scheitern, nicht an fehlender Liebe. Diese Folge ist für dich, wenn du wissen willst, wie Human Design nicht nur erklärt, sondern verbindet.Wir gehen u. a. diesen Fragen nach:• Wie lebt man als Profil 2/4 den Wunsch nach Rückzug und gleichzeitig den Drang nach Verbindung, ohne sich selbst anzulügen?• Was hat Human Design bei Anna als Mutter verändert, das weder Gruppentherapie noch „Tipps von außen“ geschafft haben?• Warum das Verständnis der emotionalen Autorität ihr größter Gamechanger war, besonders im Umgang mit Wut.• Was bei einem emotionalen Ausbruch wirklich hilft (Spoiler: Es ist simpler als gedacht).• Wie ein Reading für ein Manifestor-Kind eine ganze Familiendynamik gedreht hat.• Weshalb Beziehungen nicht an fehlender Anleitung scheitern, sondern daran, dass man sich selbst nicht versteht.• Selbstfürsorge ohne Wellnesswochenende: Warum es nicht darum geht, „mehr zu machen“.• Und ja: sogar der gemeinsame Urlaub mit befreundeten Paaren kann entspannter laufen, wenn man HD ernst nimmt statt romantisiert.Zum Schluss teilt Anna einen Rat, den viele Mütter gerne früher gehört hätten: Hilfe annehmen ist kein Eingeständnis von Schwäche.Das erwähnte Buch: „Entdecke die Person, die du wirklich bist“ von Chetan Parkyn.Anna findest du auf Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/anna.seip/und auf FacebookMehr Infos zu meinen Angeboten (& Impressum) findest du auf meiner Homepage:https://www.diemanifestorin.de/ Verbinde dich mit mir auf Instagram für tägliche Impulse:https://www.instagram.com/die_manifestorin/Kontakt:die-manifestorin@email.de Rauhnächte Kompass Die 12 Säulen des neuen Jahres:https://amzn.to/3YFTJNd  Danke, dass du hier dabei bist ❤️Wenn dir der Podcast gefällt, freue ich mich sehr, wenn du ihn mit 5 Sternen bewertest.

Man prātā nāk vismaz divas – Jāņa Mediņa "Uguns un nakts" un Alfrēda Kalniņa "Baņuta", kuru liktenī kuģiem, jūrai un pat okeāniem bijusi itin nozīmīga loma. Pirmā kuģotāja 1919.gada rudenī bijusi "Baņuta", tomēr stāstu sākšu ar Jāni Mediņu un viņa "Uguni un nakti". Ar operas klavierizvilkumu kamiešos – un tas nav nekāds poētisms, bet skaudra realitāte, it īpaši ņemot vērā to, ka notis svērušas kādus 20 kilogramus – Mediņš kopā ar sievu Olgu līdz ar citiem latviešu strēlniekiem no Sarkanās armijas glābdamies, šķērso visu Sibīriju, līdz 1920.gada maijā beidzot sasniedz Vladivostoku, lai tālāk jau ar kuģiem dotos uz Curugas ostu Japānā. Tur viņus gaida okeāna tvaikoni Voroņeža – zem Anglijas karoga un ar argentīniešu kapteini. Jaunās Latvijas valsts valdība apmaksājusi mūsu strēlnieku mājupceļu.  Pirmā pieturvieta – Nagasaki, tālāk jau seko Singapūra, Kolombo Ceilonā, vētra Indijas okeānā, Sarkanā jūra, Suecas kanāls, Gibraltārs, spāņu vīna žvingulis Malagā, kuģošana gar Portugāles un Spānijas krastiem Atlantijas okeānā. Kad sasniegta Lielbritānija, kuģim Temzas dokos vajadzējis piemontēt mīnu ķērājus, jo Baltijas jūra vēl nebija pilnībā atmīnēta. Mediņš vēl pēc daudziem gadiem atcerējās – mīnu ķeramie izskatījās kā torpēdas, apmēram pusotra metra garumā, ar stipru stiepli priekšgalā, kas tad mīnu uztvertu un kādus desmit metrus no kuģa liktu tai sprāgt. Kad Dancigā uz kuģa uzkāpj locis – īsts jūrnieku puika ar žoķeni galvā, īsts "džonītis", kā saka Mediņš, un pamana visādam gadījumam sagatavotās glābšanas laivas, virves, signālraķetes un dzeramo ūdeni, "džonītis" kapteinim uzkliedz, ko velti baidot karavīrus un sievas ar bērniem. Nevienas mīnas jūrā vairs neesot, lai vācot visu nost, viņš nu atbildot par kuģi. Kad 3. oktobrī laimīgi tikuši līdz Liepājas kara ostai, četrus mēnešus ilgais un 23 000 kilometrus garais kuģojums no Vladivostokas bija galā. Ostā strēlniekus gaidījuši Latvijas karavīri ar orķestri un "Dievs, svētī Latviju!". Raudājuši visi. Un par operu – kaut vēlāk Mediņš pastāvējis uz to, ka viņa "Uguns un nakts" bijusi pabeigta vēl pirms Kalniņa "Baņutas", ir arī liecības, ka 1920. gada oktobrī tā līdz Rīgai nonākusi vēl tikai klavierizvilkumā. Tātad – bija padarām vēl viss lielais orķestrēšanas darbs. Bet "Baņuta"? "Baņuta" jau pirms mēnešiem četriem – maija beigās – bija izskanējusi uz Nacionālās operas skatuves, iemantodama pirmās latviešu nacionālās operas godu. Un izrādās, arī "Baņutas" liktenī savu lomu spēlējuši kuģi un kuģošana. Alfrēds Kalniņš "Baņutu" sācis rakstīt, atsaukdamies Jāņa Akuratera pamudinājumam jau 1918. gadā, un ļoti ražīgi to dara Liepājā arī tad, kad ir sākušās Neatkarības cīņas – vispirms pret sarkanajiem, tad fon der Golca armiju visbeidzot pret bermontiešiem. Kalniņš "Baņutu" komponē Liepājā, itin kā nemanīdams karastāvokli, komandanta stundu, teju pilsoņu kara apstākļos draudošo badu... Nu jā, pret to noturēties palīdz arī meitiņas Birutas ganītais vistu bars pašu mītnesvietas dārzā. Pāris mēnešus pēc tam, kad Latvijas pagaidu valdība jūnijā no dreifēšanas ar kuģi var atgriezties uz cietzemes – vispirms Liepājā, pēc tam jau Rīgā, arī Alfrēds Kalniņš saņem uzaicinājumu doties uz Rīgu un kļūt par Izglītības ministrijas Mākslas departamenta Mūzikas nodaļas vadītāju. Jūrasceļš ir vienīgais daudzmaz drošais, un tā nu septembra vidū, nospēlējis atvadu koncertu pie Svētās Annas baznīcas ērģelēm, Kalniņš ar ģimeni kāpj uz kuģa, lai dotos uz Rīgu. Tad – 1919. gadā – gan vēl jūrā bija arī mīnu lauki, un Liepājas avīzēs pēc kāda laika parādās ziņa, ka Kalniņa kuģis tiešām uzdūries mīnām un nogrimis. Par laimi, ziņu vajadzēja vien atsaukt. Izrādās – kuģim pa ceļam ievajadzējās remontu, un Kalniņi pāris dienas palika Ventspilī,  kur Alfrēds uz pat pamanījās sarīkot ērģeļkoncertu!  Tā nu no Liepājas līdz Rīgai Kalniņi kuģoja četras dienas. Tieši tad, kad viņi beidzot 8. oktobrī tiek līdz Rīgas ostai, sākas Bermonta-Avalova armijas uzbrukums Rīgai, arī gaisa uzlidojumi. Kuģim ar visiem Kalniņiem pavēl atgriezties jūrā. Tikai dienu vēlāk jau vēlā vakarā viņus pa galvu, pa kaklu izsēdina krastā, bet visa iedzīve un arī "Baņutas" partitūra (un arī tie bija pamatīgi saiņi!) atgriežas jūrā. Tā nu "Baņuta" un visa Kalniņu iedzīve kādu laiku dreifē pa līci, līdz beidzot tomēr kuģis atgriežas ostā. Kalniņš gan jau bija sadomājies no Rīgas braukt prom, jo viņam te galīgi nepatīk. Tomēr nu, kad "Baņuta" un mēbeles izkrautas krastā, būs vien jāpaliek. Jo jau ir nolemts "Baņutu" uzvest – 1920. gada pavasarī.  Kalniņu – kā jau ļoti atbildīgu cilvēku (un ļoti atbildīgu ierēdni) –, ļoti uztrauca operas direkcijas nodomi "Baņutas" iestudēšanai tērēt milzu naudas summas. Pēckara laikā pat spainis krāsas dekorācijām vai baķis auduma tērpiem maksāja baltu naudu (ja vispār bija atrodami). Kalniņam viss likās tik pārspīlēti dārgi un grezni, ka pārņēma bailes – vai "Baņuta" vispār ir tamlīdzīgu tēriņu vērta. Pirmizrāde notika 1920. gada 29. maijā. Operu uzņēmuši silti, klāt bija Latvijas prezidents Čakste, bijuši vainagi, puķes, veltes, tomēr pirmie gadi operai bijuši tik grūti, ka iespaidīgās Jāņa Kugas "Baņutas" dekorācijas pēc kāda laika tikušas "nomazgātas", lai uz audekliem varētu gleznot nākamās – citām operām vai baletiem. Jā, "Baņuta" tika iestudēta vien pusgadu pēc Neatkarības cīņu beigām, kad kara postažu Rīgā vēl varēja skaidri redzēt.

Story Transcript:Sv: Det var en krispig höstdag i Stockholm.En: It was a crisp autumn day in Stockholm.Sv: Löven dansade ner från träden och lade sig som en mjuk matta på marken.En: Leaves danced down from the trees and laid themselves like a soft carpet on the ground.Sv: Inne i Stockholms Stadsbibliotek rådde ett stillsamt sorl.En: Inside the Stockholms Stadsbibliotek there was a gentle murmur.Sv: Det var en plats där historier levde och drömmar vaknade till liv.En: It was a place where stories lived, and dreams came to life.Sv: Sven, med sitt oroliga hjärta av en författare, gick genom rader av böcker.En: Sven, with the restless heart of a writer, walked through rows of books.Sv: Han letade efter inspiration, en gnista att tända hans nästa stora projekt.En: He was searching for inspiration, a spark to ignite his next big project.Sv: Men det var inte vilket bok som helst han letade efter, det var en sällsynt skatt.En: But it wasn't just any book he was looking for, it was a rare treasure.Sv: Plötsligt stötte han på Anna, bibliotekarien.En: Suddenly, he bumped into Anna, the librarian.Sv: Hon log öppet mot honom, och hennes blå ögon glittrade av nyfikenhet.En: She smiled openly at him, her blue eyes twinkling with curiosity.Sv: "Letar du efter något speciellt?"En: "Are you looking for something special?"Sv: frågade hon.En: she asked.Sv: "Ja," svarade Sven och såg ner på checklistan i sin hand, "en bok om skandinavisk folklore."En: "Yes," replied Sven, looking down at the checklist in his hand, "a book about Scandinavian folklore."Sv: "Egentligen, jag också," sa Anna och rodnade lätt.En: "Actually, I am too," said Anna, blushing slightly.Sv: Deras händer snuddade när de båda började leta efter 'Nordiska Myter och Sagor'.En: Their hands brushed as they both began to search for 'Nordiska Myter och Sagor'.Sv: Men boken var borta, inte där den borde vara.En: But the book was gone, not where it should have been.Sv: Den plötsliga besvikelsen ledde dem till bibliotekets informationsdisk där Lars, den avspända biblioteksvärden, fanns.En: The sudden disappointment led them to the library's information desk where Lars, the laid-back library attendant, was.Sv: "Tyvärr," sa han med en axelryckning, "boken är utlånad."En: "Unfortunately," he said with a shrug, "the book is borrowed."Sv: Sven och Anna utbytte en snabb blick.En: Sven and Anna exchanged a quick glance.Sv: Sven kände sig nedslagen, men Anna såg det som en möjlighet.En: Sven felt disheartened, but Anna saw it as an opportunity.Sv: "Kanske kan vi kolla när den är tillbaka och ta en fika så länge?"En: "Maybe we can check when it's back and grab a coffee in the meantime?"Sv: föreslog hon.En: she suggested.Sv: Färgen på löven ute matchade inredningen när de satte sig vid ett litet

In John 18, we see a series of powerful choices—Peter denies Jesus, Annas seeks control, Pilate shrugs off truth, and the crowd chooses a murderer over the Messiah. Only Jesus chooses rightly, willingly giving Himself to fulfill God's plan. Pastor Wayne Braudrick shows how these moments reveal our own daily choices between pride and surrender. Using passages from John 18 and 1 Peter 4, he reminds us not to act as our own judge of right and wrong but instead to trust God's truth. In a world full of noise and moral confusion, this message calls us to choose Jesus. Because real freedom comes when we let Him lead.

f Asa's final years, which are characterised by some serious failures to rely on Yahweh. Firstly, when Baasha king of Israel began acting aggressively to Judah, he hired the Syrians to attack the northern kingdom. He had failed to heed that the LORD had granted victory against the Ethiopian horde. The great lesson that Hanani the seer told Asa was, "The eyes of Yahweh run to and fro throughput the whole earth, to give strong support to those whose heart is blameless toward Him" (verse 9 ESV). From now on he would have wars. He became enraged with the prophet and placed him in stocks in prison. His anger was also vented against others of God's people. The irony of Asa, whose name means 'physician', is that when he became diseased in his feet, Asa did not seek healing from the great Physician, but died in suffering. Nonetheless, Judah were saddened by the death of the great reformer. Chapter 17 says Judah were blessed when Asa's son, Jehoshaphat, ascended the throne and he, too, walked "in the early ways of David his father". The kingdom was established by Jehoshaphat and the surrounding lands made no war against him, but paid him tribute. Ezekiel 48 dealt with the allotments to the tribes both north and south of the temple precinct and the allocation of its territory. Note that the northern border of the territory of the kingdom of God under the reconstituted and restored Israel is the Euphrates river; the southern border is the Nile; the western border is the Mediterranean Sea; and the eastern border the Gulf of Arabia - the entire land through which Abraham walked upon and was promised (see also Psalm 72). The city that will be constructed to service the House of Prayer for all nations will be of a square construction and have a perimeter of about 64.5 kilometres and will be called Yahweh Shammah - or Yahweh is there. John 17 outlines Jesus' wonderful prayer for unity with himself and his Father. Having struggled to subject his will to the Father in Gethsemane and being strengthened by an angel to do that, the victory had been won, and all that remained were the trials, scourging and crucifixion which our Master would endure. So, the prayer began with an acknowledgment of the coming glory - verse 4 the glory that the Father had planned for the Son before creation. Then followed a plea for men to know the Father and the servant Son sent into the world to reveal the Father's character; and in that "knowing" would come life eternal. The prayer was to preserve the believers in that truth and so save them. None would be lost save Judas, the 'son of destruction'. Eventually everyone sanctified by the truth would be united with the Father in the same way His Son was. John chapter 18 records the betrayal and arrest of the Lord in the garden ofGethsemane. Judas arrived with a heavily armed contingent of temple thugs, who when they asked the Lord, who they sought, they fell to the ground illustrating that where he was they could not come (John 7:36). He gave himself voluntarily into their hands after miraculously restoring the severed ear of Malchus- the high priest's servant and rebuking Peter who had mistakenly tried to protect his Lord. Jesus faced Annas and Caiaphas in trial. Peter's first denial followed. Then Jesus is placed under oath by the high priest, who contrary to the law commanded our Master to be struck and was rightly rebuked by Jesus. Peter's second denial followed. The rulers attempted to force from Pilate, the Roman Governor, during the night, the death sentence - another illegality - on the unproven charge of treason. Pilate questioned Jesus and it was clear that our Lord had total mastery of the situation and it was Pontius Pilate who quailed in the presence of the Son of God. Jesus bore witness to the Truth that he came into the world to be "King of the Jews" (see 1 Timothy 6 verses 12-16). Pilate declared him to be innocent of the charge; but the rulers clamoured for his death and the acquittal of Barabbas.

Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is Luke 22:61 from the King James Version.Episode 210: After having Him beaten, Jesus was taken before Annas to be interrogated. After this, He was sent to Caiaphas, the ruling High Priest. Peter followed Him there but when people began to recognize who he was, he denied having ever known Jesus. Just then the rooster crowd and Jesus and Peter locked eyes. The Sanhedrin continued to interrogate Jesus until they found enough to charge Jesus of blasphemy. A charge punishable by death. When Judas heard what had happened he became consumed with regret. But instead of taking that regret to his Messiah, he took it to the grave as he ended his life.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

This sermon examines the trials of Jesus, focusing on His appearance before the Jewish religious leaders after His arrest. The pastor begins by establishing the importance of justice, explaining that God is perfectly just in all His ways. The message walks through Jesus' trials before Annas and Caiaphas, highlighting the numerous legal violations and injustices committed by the religious leaders. When directly asked if He is the Christ, the Son of God, Jesus clearly declares "I am," making four distinct claims to deity. The religious leaders condemn Him for blasphemy and subject Him to physical abuse. The sermon concludes by connecting this injustice to God's perfect justice, referencing Micah 6:8 about doing justice, loving kindness, and walking humbly with God. The pastor emphasizes that while human justice failed Jesus, divine justice was ultimately served through His sacrificial death on the cross, providing mercy and salvation for all who believe.Please let us know if you are watching our stream for the first time, if you have made a decision, or need prayer – text CONNECT to (941) 260-1395 or click here: https://form.church/connectionClick here if you would like to give online: https://subsplash.com/u/-QJD4RD/giveMusic used with permission, CCLI License # 594759, Streaming Plus License # 21044022

Acts 4:1-31The priests and the captain of the temple guard and the Sadducees came up to Peter and John while they were speaking to the people. They were greatly disturbed because the apostles were teaching the people, proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead. They seized Peter and John and, because it was evening, they put them in jail until the next day. But many who heard the message believed; so the number of men who believed grew to about five thousand. The next day the rulers, the elders and the teachers of the law met in Jerusalem. Annas the high priest was there, and so were Caiaphas, John, Alexander and others of the high priest's family. They had Peter and John brought before them and began to question them: “By what power or what name did you do this?” Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: “Rulers and elders of the people! If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a man who was lame and are being asked how he was healed, then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed. Jesus is “ the stone you builders rejected,      which has become the cornerstone.Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus. But since they could see the man who had been healed standing there with them, there was nothing they could say. So they ordered them to withdraw from the Sanhedrin and then conferred together. “What are we going to do with these men?” they asked. “Everyone living in Jerusalem knows they have performed a notable sign, and we cannot deny it. But to stop this thing from spreading any further among the people, we must warn them to speak no longer to anyone in this name.” Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John replied, “Which is right in God's eyes: to listen to you, or to him? You be the judges! As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.” After further threats they let them go. They could not decide how to punish them, because all the people were praising God for what had happened. For the man who was miraculously healed was over forty years old. On their release, Peter and John went back to their own people and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them. When they heard this, they raised their voices together in prayer to God. “Sovereign Lord,” they said, “you made the heavens and the earth and the sea, and everything in them. You spoke by the Holy Spirit through the mouth of your servant, our father David: “ ‘Why do the nations rage     and the peoples plot in vain?   The kings of the earth rise up     and the rulers band together   against the Lord     and against his anointed one. ' Indeed Herod and Pontius Pilate met together with the Gentiles and the people of Israel in this city to conspire against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed. They did what your power and will had decided beforehand should happen. Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness. Stretch out your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus.” After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.Acts 5:17-42Then the high priest and all his associates, who were members of the party of the Sadducees, were filled with jealousy. They arrested the apostles and put them in the public jail. But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the jail and brought them out. “Go, stand in the temple courts,” he said, “and tell the people all about this new life.” At daybreak they entered the temple courts, as they had been told, and began to teach the people. When the high priest and his associates arrived, they called together the Sanhedrin—the full assembly of the elders of Israel—and sent to the jail for the apostles. But on arriving at the jail, the officers did not find them there. So they went back and reported, “We found the jail securely locked, with the guards standing at the doors; but when we opened them, we found no one inside.” On hearing this report, the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests were at a loss, wondering what this might lead to. Then someone came and said, “Look! The men you put in jail are standing in the temple courts teaching the people.” At that, the captain went with his officers and brought the apostles. They did not use force, because they feared that the people would stone them. The apostles were brought in and made to appear before the Sanhedrin to be questioned by the high priest. “We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name,” he said. “Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us guilty of this man's blood.” Peter and the other apostles replied: “We must obey God rather than human beings! The God of our ancestors raised Jesus from the dead—whom you killed by hanging him on a cross. God exalted him to his own right hand as Prince and Savior that he might bring Israel to repentance and forgive their sins. We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.” When they heard this, they were furious and wanted to put them to death. But a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, who was honored by all the people, stood up in the Sanhedrin and ordered that the men be put outside for a little while. Then he addressed the Sanhedrin: “Men of Israel, consider carefully what you intend to do to these men. Some time ago Theudas appeared, claiming to be somebody, and about four hundred men rallied to him. He was killed, all his followers were dispersed, and it all came to nothing. After him, Judas the Galilean appeared in the days of the census and led a band of people in revolt. He too was killed, and all his followers were scattered. Therefore, in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail. But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God.” His speech persuaded them. They called the apostles in and had them flogged. Then they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name. Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Messiah.

3:1 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene, 3:2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. 3:3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins; 3:4 As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 3:5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth; 3:6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God. 3:7 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 3:8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. 3:9 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 3:10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then? 3:11 He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise. 3:12 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do? 3:13 And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you. 3:14 And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages. 3:15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not; 3:16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire: 3:17 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable. 3:18 And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people. 3:19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done, 3:20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison. 3:21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, 3:22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. 3:23 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli, 3:24 Which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Janna, which was the son of Joseph, 3:25 Which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Amos, which was the son of Naum, which was the son of Esli, which was the son of Nagge, 3:26 Which was the son of Maath, which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Semei, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Juda, 3:27 Which was the son of Joanna, which was the son of Rhesa, which was the son of Zorobabel, which was the son of Salathiel, which was the son of Neri, 3:28 Which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Addi, which was the son of Cosam, which was the son of Elmodam, which was the son of Er, 3:29 Which was the son of Jose, which was the son of Eliezer, w...

Daily Dose of Hope August 4, 2025   Scripture – Luke 3   Prayer:  Almighty God, Thank you for today and new week.  Thank you for providing for us, caring for us, and protecting us.  Over thousands upon thousands of years, you have taken care of your people.  We give you glory and praise, for who you are.  Thank you, most of all, for sending Jesus, who moved into our neighborhood so that we could begin to understand your love.  Wow.  There are no words to adequately thank you for the sacrifice that saved our lives.  Lord Jesus, we love you and we thank you.  Help us grow in holiness, continue to transform us so we can be a better reflection of you.  In Your Name, Amen.   Welcome back, everyone, to the Daily Dose of Hope, a deep dive into the Gospels and Acts.   Today, we dive into Luke 3. I find it particularly fascinating how Luke begins by listing all the rulers of the time.  He is showing us that John and Jesus are doing ministry within a particular geopolitical landscape.  Luke identifies some of the most important rulers of that region. Tiberius was the Roman emperor from 14-37 AD.  Like many emperors, he was known to be cruel, corrupt, and self-obsessed.  His rule served as a significant contrast from the kind of Kingdom ushered in by Jesus Christ.   Then we have Pontius Pilate.  He was governor of Judea from approximately 26-37 AD.  Of course, we recognize him for his role in Jesus' trial and death, which also landed him a mention in the Apostles' Creed.   Herod Antipas is also mentioned.  He was the son of Herod the Great.  The Herod dynasty was set up by the Roman government to rule over the Holy Land.  They considered themselves Jewish, although the Jewish leaders might have argued that point.  The Herods in general tended to feel easily threatened and rule with an iron fist.  Herod Antipas was ruler over the region of Galilee and Luke refers to him a few times.   The high priests who Luke mentions are Annas and his son-in-law, Caiaphas.  Caiaphas was officially the high priest during this time but the presence of Annas still was clearly felt.    Mentioning these real people was important to Luke.  He wanted to show that God is bringing about salvation not in the abstract but in real time, through real events, real people, and in actual places.  It's in the messy, difficult, and complex event of history that God reveals himself and continues his work of redemption.   And the work starts with John the Baptist, who gathers people in the wilderness at the Jordan River.  He quotes some prophecy from Isaiah, suggesting that God's people will be restored among the nations (of course, no one quite understands how they will be restored.) And of course, John talks about Jesus, for whom he has been called to prepare the way.  John is a forerunner of sorts, preparing the hearts of the people for what is to come.  John has no problem speaking truth, he has some pretty harsh words for the people, calling them to repentance and baptism.  Keep in mind, repentance means a sincere turning away from sin and a turning toward God.  This is more than just being sorry.  It is a real change of heart and mind with a desire to be obedient.  John addresses the common people, the soldiers, and even the tax collectors, and how they can repent and begin to produce good fruit.    When John baptizes Jesus, it marks the beginning of Jesus' public ministry. This call to ministry was accompanied by the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove and confirmed by God's voice from heaven. It is a beautiful picture of the Trinity. What's interesting and even a bit puzzling about this scene is that John's baptism, as I just mentioned, was one of repentance. It was for sinners to come, repent, and be cleansed. But Jesus was sinless. He had no need of a sinner's baptism. And yet, he chose to go through the ritual. Jesus sought to identify with the people he came to save.   This is a critical part of the incarnation, God coming to earth to become a human being. It's in the incarnation that Jesus becomes one of us. Jesus goes to the people, identifies with them, and gives them a real-life demonstration of who God is and how much God loves them. The baptism was simply the beginning.   The chapter closes with a genealogy of Jesus, according to Luke.  Luke attempts to trace Jesus' family tree all the way back to Adam.  While Luke isn't literally listing every single generation, he is making a point.  Jesus did not come to just save the Jewish people but all people.  We know from the book of Romans that Paul calls Jesus the new Adam, the one who restored what was lost in Adam's sin.  While Adam infected all people with sin, Jesus opened the door to redemption and eternal life for all people who believe in him.   Take a moment and read through this genealogy again, as well as the genealogy in Matthew 1. What are the similarities and differences? How does each author go about telling the story of Jesus' family?   More tomorrow.   Blessings, Pastor Vicki

At this point in the narrative, Jesus is confronted by a mob comprised largely of chief priests and Pharisees who wish to have Jesus killed for blasphemy. They arrest him, tie him up, and take him Annas, a man of considerable influence who was a former high priest and the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was serving as high priest that year. They press Jesus for information on his teachings, but he simply responds that he's been teaching in public for all to hear, so there shouldn't be any confusion about what he's said. It is during this exchange that Peter denies Jesus three times as waits in the wings for a result. Later, the Jews take Jesus to Caiaphas, then to Pilate the roman governor over Judea. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Acts 4 The priests and the captain of the temple guard and the Sadducees came up to Peter and John while they were speaking to the people. 2 They were greatly disturbed because the apostles were teaching the people, proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead.  3 They seized Peter and John and, because it was evening, they put them in jail until the next day.  4 But many who heard the message believed; so the number of men who believed grew to about five thousand. 5 The next day the rulers, the elders and the teachers of the law met in Jerusalem. 6 Annas the high priest was there, and so were Caiaphas, John, Alexander and others of the high priest's family.  7 They had Peter and John brought before them and began to question them: “By what power or what name did you do this?” 8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: “Rulers and elders of the people! 9 If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a man who was lame and are being asked how he was healed,  10 then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed.  11 Jesus is “‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.' 12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” 13 When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.  14 But since they could see the man who had been healed standing there with them, there was nothing they could say.  15 So they ordered them to withdraw from the Sanhedrin and then conferred together.  16 “What are we going to do with these men?” they asked. “Everyone living in Jerusalem knows they have performed a notable sign, and we cannot deny it.  17 But to stop this thing from spreading any further among the people, we must warn them to speak no longer to anyone in this name.” 18 Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.  19 But Peter and John replied, “Which is right in God's eyes: to listen to you, or to him? You be the judges!  20 As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.” 21 After further threats they let them go. They could not decide how to punish them, because all the people were praising God for what had happened.  22 For the man who was miraculously healed was over forty years old. 23 On their release, Peter and John went back to their own people and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them.  24 When they heard this, they raised their voices together in prayer to God. “Sovereign Lord,” they said, “you made the heavens and the earth and the sea, and everything in them.  25 You spoke by the Holy Spirit through the mouth of your servant, our father David: “‘Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? 26 The kings of the earth rise up and the rulers band together against the Lord and against his anointed one.' 27 Indeed Herod and Pontius Pilate met together with the Gentiles and the people of Israel in this city to conspire against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed.  28 They did what your power and will had decided beforehand should happen.  29 Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness.  30 Stretch out your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus.” 31 After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly. 32 All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had. 33 With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God's grace was so powerfully at work in them all 34 that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales 35 and put it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need.

Peter cuts off a soldier's ear, but Jesus replaces it and goes with the soldiers peacefully. Peter and John follow closely behind as Jesus is taken before Annas, and then Caiaphas, the high priest that year. Peter is then questioned concerning Jesus, and he denies Him three times. The Jewish priests lead Jesus to Pilate since they need Roman approval to put Him to death. Pilate asks Jesus if He is the King of the Jews. Jesus responds by stating that His kingdom is not of this world. Ultimately, Pilate sees no guilt in Jesus. He asks the Jews if he should release Him, but they demand that a convicted robber be released instead.  There is an incredible calmness in Jesus as the time of His death approaches. When Peter injures a soldier, Jesus heals the man. When soldiers seek to arrest Him, Jesus simply asks that His followers be left alone. When questioned by the Jewish leaders, He answers by stating that He has kept no secrets in His ministry. As Pilate berates Him with questions, He answers with peaceable, spiritual, truthful answers. Meanwhile, Peter denies Him, and most of the Apostles are nowhere to be found. Our Savior is at peace with His purpose and with the sacrifice He would offer for the world. Peter and the Apostles became much more like Jesus after the resurrection. This should be our goal as well.  Gracious Lord, thank You for Jesus. His confidence and calmness establish Him as a King we are privileged to follow. Even in the fires of persecution, He was focused and holy. He answered even His most vicious accusers with dignity. Lord, teach us how to be more like Your Son. We all falter at times, resembling Peter's fear and doubt. Father, we plead for Your mercy and ask You to humble us and make us more devoted students of Jesus. His resolve to accomplish Your work has brought blessings to us all. Lead us to be more like our Savior.   Thought Questions: -       Why did Peter lash out at the soldier? Can outbursts and quick reactions be a symptom of a faith that needs some work? -       What are situations in your life where you need to have calm, confident responses like Jesus did throughout this chapter? -       Pilate asks a fateful question: “What is truth?” Is Jesus the answer to that question for you, and what does He mean in your life?
