00:07Jesus' Death
00:11Jesus was going around doing the work God had sent him to do,
00:21healing people,
00:23and teaching them all about the kingdom of God.
00:27But the Pharisees and Sadducees thought Jesus was getting too popular,
00:33so they had him arrested in the middle of the night.
00:37Oh no! What did they do to him?
00:40They asked him a lot of questions.
00:44Are you the Son of God?
00:46Do you think you are equal to God?
00:50Jesus didn't say anything,
00:52but the religious leaders didn't care if he answered or not.
00:55They accused him anyway.
00:59He is guilty of blasphemy!
01:01Blasphemy!
01:03Blasphemy!
01:04Blasphemy!
01:07Blasphemy?
01:08What does that even mean?
01:11Blasphemy is when someone says untrue things about God.
01:15The Pharisees and Sadducees accused Jesus of saying he was God.
01:21According to the Pharisees and Sadducees,
01:23there was only one way a person could pay for that.
01:28What was it?
01:29Going to jail?
01:31No.
01:32Death.
01:34No!
01:35There was a problem for the Pharisees and Sadducees, though.
01:39What?
01:40Even if the Pharisees and Sadducees said Jesus was guilty,
01:45they weren't allowed to kill anyone.
01:47Only Roman leaders could do that.
01:50So, they took him to the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate.
01:55Wait.
01:57What?
01:58Pontius Pilate?
01:59Not a Pilate.
02:02Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor.
02:04And when he saw Jesus and his accusers,
02:08he was a little confused.
02:11Huh.
02:11Are they upset?
02:14What have you done that has made everyone so angry?
02:19Again, Jesus didn't say anything.
02:21So, Pilate turned to the religious leaders and said,
02:25I don't see anything wrong with this man.
02:28Well, according to our rules,
02:30he needs to die.
02:32Now, Pilate had a problem.
02:35Hmm.
02:36Jesus doesn't deserve to die.
02:38But, but if he gets more popular,
02:42I don't want the Pharisees and Sadducees
02:44to complain about me to the other Roman leaders.
02:48So, what did he do?
02:50He thought there was only one way
02:52to keep his job as Roman governor.
02:54Hmm.
02:55Well, what are you going to do?
02:59Bring me some water.
03:00I wash my hands of this situation.
03:05This is not my fault.
03:07So, Pilate ordered that Jesus be killed on a wooden cross.
03:13Because?
03:14According to our laws,
03:17he deserves to die.
03:19Oh, that is so sad.
03:22Jesus didn't deserve to die on the cross.
03:25No, he didn't.
03:27But he went to the cross anyway.
03:30And as he was dying,
03:31he continued to show love and mercy by saying,
03:36Father, forgive them.
03:38They don't know what they are doing.
03:40The sky turned very dark.
03:43And Jesus said,
03:45It is finished.
03:48Jesus died.
03:50Then, the ground began to shake
03:55and a Roman guard standing nearby said,
03:59This man must have been the Son of God.
04:02But, where were the disciples?
04:05All of Jesus' friends.
04:07His mother was with him
04:08and a few of his friends.
04:11The others probably didn't know what to think.
04:14How could Jesus be the Messiah,
04:17the blessing for the whole world,
04:20if he wasn't even alive?
04:23Jesus had done some amazing things while he was living.
04:27Like lots of miracles.
04:29That's right.
04:32Stop!
04:33And, he'd shown everyone
04:36that God the Father was very loving
04:38and good and powerful.
04:41He had also promised
04:43that the kingdom of God was near.
04:46He'd given everyone a taste of that kingdom
04:49through those miracles.
04:51What's the kingdom of God?
04:53The kingdom of God is when
04:55the whole world will be made new again,
04:58the way God had always wanted it to be.
05:01Jesus promised that someday,
05:04in the kingdom of God,
05:05there will be no sin,
05:07or sadness,
05:08or sickness,
05:08or death.
05:09What is sin again?
05:11Sin is when we ignore God
05:14and go our own way.
05:16Sin is when we say,
05:18I don't care what you say,
05:20I'm going to do it my way.
05:22And remember,
05:24because God is good and sin is bad,
05:27the price we pay for our sin
05:28is being apart from God.
05:32Ouch!
05:32Oh, so in the kingdom of God,
05:36there will be no sin,
05:38or sadness,
05:40or sickness.
05:41In the kingdom of God,
05:43there will be nothing to be afraid of,
05:46not even death.
05:48But, Jesus had just died.
05:51Ah, so it seemed like
05:53none of those promises were coming true.
05:55But, that was not the case.
05:59Really?
06:00What do you mean?
06:02You see,
06:02something more amazing was happening
06:05that Jesus' enemies didn't realize.
06:08When he died on the cross,
06:11Jesus took all of our sin
06:13on himself.
06:14He did?
06:21You see,
06:22since our sin turns us away from God,
06:25there can be no sin in the kingdom of God.
06:28So,
06:29Jesus had to fix the problem of sin.
06:33And he did that by dying on the cross?
06:36Yes.
06:37By dying on the cross,
06:39Jesus paid the price for our sins.
06:42Yours,
06:43mine,
06:43everyone's.
06:45Wow.
06:47Jesus really loves us.
06:49He sure does.
06:52But...
06:53Another question?
06:55What about all the things
06:57that he said about the kingdom?
06:59I still don't get it.
07:01If Jesus was dead,
07:03how could any of those promises come true?
07:06That's a really good question.
07:08With an even better answer.
07:12Because,
07:12he didn't stay dead.
07:16Because he didn't stay dead.
07:16I still don't get it.
07:19May he never met and by the sea,
07:23he said,
07:24and I'm not hungry.
07:25Yeah,
07:26but I'm not happy to be able,
07:27but I'm very angry.
07:31I wouldn't be dead.
07:36I love you.
