Series Title: Be Relational Sermon 3/3 Introduction:  “Warning, the following content may contain elements that not suitable for some audiences, viewer discretion is advised.”When I was a kid, I watched a lot of TV.  It was a really unhealthy time for me. I would watch show after show after show. We had a ton of channels, so there was always something to watch. Every once in a while, as I was surfing through channels, I would come across this warning. “Warning, the following content may contain elements that not suitable for some audiences, viewer discretion is advised.”As a kid, I would always get super excited. This was something I wasn’t supposed to see, a glimpse behind the curtain. Whenever I saw that warning, I’d look out my door, make sure my parents weren’t around, and watch. Sometimes, I would learn something. As a kid, I wanted to understand everything. Sometimes the show would just have serious elements to it. Other-times, I exposed myself to stuff I shouldn’t have seen. After a while I learned that the warning was there for a reason. There are somethings that are just too much for me.Today, were going to finish our series on Being Relational, on what sharing the gospel with others look like. We’ve been looking at Jesus’ life and how He creates relationships with people to invite them into eternal life. As we have seen Jesus creates relationships with those on the fringe of society, those who are unwanted and unloved. Being relational means crossing boundaries. We’ve also seen that sharing the gospel means trusting God, listening to the supernatural wisdom of God. When God calls us to be relational in a way that is crazy to us, we should do it. Our final lesson in being relational is from the final day of Jesus’ life. To completely understand the lesson, we are going to look at some extremely mature content. We are going to examine the horrible physical and psychological abuse that Jesus went through leading up to his death. I’m going to warn you right now, this is going to be uncomfortable. It was uncomfortable for me to write this. If you’re like me, this story is going to make you feel incredibly guilty. It might even make you angry. The final day of Jesus is a story for mature audiences. So here’s your one warning… “the following content may contain elements that not suitable for some audiences, viewer discretion is advised”Section 1: BetrayedTo often we forget that Jesus wasn’t just fully God. He was also fully human. Just like you, Jesus had hopes. He had friends. He dealt with people. He was, as far as anyone could tell, just a normal guy. So, as we look at his final day, “it is important to understand from the beginning that Jesus would have been in excellent physical condition. As a carpenter by trade, He participated in physical labor. In addition, He spent much of His ministry traveling on foot across the countryside. His stamina and strength were, most likely, very well developed. With that in mind, it is clear just how much He suffered: If this torture could break a man in such good shape, it must have been a horrific experience.”As we begin the feast of passover, a national celebration, has been happening within the city of Jerusalem. As the festivities draw to a close, Jesus brings his closest friends to a small garden overlooking the city. Jesus is desperate to pray. He goes off a little ways a way and talks to god. Anyone looking at him would have seen the anxiety on his face. being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.”The sweat poured from Jesus’ face. He knew the pain that was coming. Yet he was a servant of God. This was the path he must take. Jesus prays throughout the night. Anxiety and mental anguish stealing his last chance to sleep. In the morning Judas, one of Jesus’ disciples arrives. He has betrayed Jesus to the  Jewish leaders.
