00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,120
I'm thinking today of Matthew 27 2 and it says and

2
00:00:05,580 --> 00:00:12,540
They bound him and that him is Jesus and they led him away and delivered him to pilot the governor

3
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:19,760
In this moment when Jesus was arrested the Pharisees and the Sadducees were finally united

4
00:00:20,420 --> 00:00:24,680
Jesus has this way of uniting people when they stand against him

5
00:00:25,340 --> 00:00:27,040
Doesn't matter what their differences are

6
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:33,460
They realize that Jesus is more a threat to their way of life than anyone else and they will stand

7
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:42,000
United against Jesus or against Christians because they don't want to let Jesus do what Jesus wants to do in their wickedness

8
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,900
They found a mutual enemy. They bound their enemy. They tortured him

9
00:00:45,900 --> 00:00:53,080
They found him guilty despite the illegal nature of their proceedings and they sent him to pilot so that he could be crucified

10
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,080
It was wrong

11
00:00:55,080 --> 00:01:00,600
Facilitated by the wickedness of men but it was Jesus who willingly laid down his life for us

12
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:06,360
Now we live for him who died for us your enemies may unite against you

13
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:11,220
But in doing so they sear they seal their ultimate defeat

14
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:19,380
Your enemies may unite against you but in doing so they seal their ultimate defeat

15
00:01:19,380 --> 00:01:24,700
Doesn't matter what enemy you're facing today in Christ. You will be victorious

16
00:01:25,620 --> 00:01:27,620
Stand firm be encouraged

17
00:01:28,500 --> 00:01:34,340
Slowly if necessary edge forward to serve God and let nothing stand in your way

18
00:01:34,340 --> 00:01:49,620
God bless you today in Jesus name
