TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
Matthew 27:11–14 - Now Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus said, “You have said so.” [12] But when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he gave no answer. [13] Then Pilate said to him, “Do you not hear how many things they testify against you?” [14] But he gave him no answer, not even to a single charge, so that the governor was greatly amazed. (ESV) Matthew 27:27–31 - Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the governor’s headquarters, and they gathered the whole battalion before him. [28] And they stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, [29] and twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on his head and put a reed in his right hand. And kneeling before him, they mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” [30] And they spit on him and took the reed and struck him on the head. [31] And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the robe and put his own clothes on him and led him away to crucify him. (ESV) Matthew 27:35–44 - And when they had crucified him, they divided his garments among them by casting lots. [36] Then they sat down and kept watch over him there. [37] And over his head they put the charge against him, which read, “This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.” [38] Then two robbers were crucified with him, one on the right and one on the left. [39] And those who passed by derided him, wagging their heads [40] and saying, “You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross.” [41] So also the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him, saying, [42] “He saved others; he cannot save himself. He is the King of Israel; let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him. [43] He trusts in God; let God deliver him now, if he desires him. For he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” [44] And the robbers who were crucified with him also reviled him in the same way. (ESV)

| 0:00.0 | Hey there, my friends. |
| 0:08.0 | Are there particular people you think of when you hear the word courage? |
| 0:12.8 | Well, today in Matthew 27, we are going to look at the most courageous acts ever performed in human history, and they were performed by Jesus. We're going to look at various |
| 0:22.6 | verses in Matthew 27. So get out your Bibles so you can follow along. I want to remind you, we have |
| 0:28.2 | the evening mindset podcast. It's another way for you to get your mind aligned with the truth of God's |
| 0:33.7 | word for every day. It helps you wind down, get your mind ready to rest in the Lord as you go to sleep. |
| 0:40.5 | You can find out more about it at evening mindset.com. |
| 0:44.8 | Okay, friends, we are going to look today at the courageous sacrifice of our king, Jesus. |
| 0:50.3 | And we're going to see it in some strange circumstances that happened surrounding the accusations |
| 0:56.0 | and the trials that he went through. We'll get to that in just a moment, but first, let's pray. |
| 1:02.6 | Father, we need your help to understand your word. We want to see Jesus rightly here. We want to see |
| 1:08.2 | the courage with which he faced the things he did and to be instructed by it. |
| 1:14.5 | In Jesus' name, amen. Okay, now, as I said, in Matthew 27, we're into the situation of Jesus |
| 1:21.5 | already being arrested. He's already being accused. And here in verse 11 of chapter 27 says, now Jesus stood before the governor. |
| 1:30.5 | This is Pontius Pilate. And the governor asked him, are you the king of the Jews? Jesus said, |
| 1:38.2 | You have said so. Now it seems kind of strange that Jesus just doesn't come right out and say, |
| 1:45.0 | I'm the king not just did the Jews, but of everybody, even though that's what's true. What he's doing here is he's |
| 1:50.6 | courageously following through the plan that the Father had ordained from before the beginning |
| 1:56.6 | of time, that He, Jesus would come and be the sacrificial lamb. He's not exerting kingly authority. |
| 2:03.9 | He's not exerting kingly power to overcome these kinds of accusations. Instead, he's submitting |
| 2:09.8 | himself to them courageously for the sake of you and me. If we go down in the next section, verse number 29, we see that the soldiers |
| 2:20.9 | twist together a crown of thorns. They put it on his head and they put a reed in his right hand like a |
