Well, welcome to our Good Friday<\/p>\n
service. Today, uh we have the service<\/p>\n
in English. I can't do that in English.<\/p>\n
So, welcome to Grace City once again.<\/p>\n
And um<\/p>\n
we're going to use tonight<\/p>\n
to reflect<\/p>\n
on Jesus experience<\/p>\n
of our broken world.<\/p>\n
on the first Good Friday<\/p>\n
and then we will um use that as a way to<\/p>\n
kind of reflect upon what he's done for<\/p>\n
us<\/p>\n
and the service will end<\/p>\n
kind of like seems like it's not a<\/p>\n
proper ending and there's a reason for<\/p>\n
that because we want to to<\/p>\n
um to complete the service on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Okay. So let me first of all pray for<\/p>\n
us. Let's pray together.<\/p>\n
Lord Jesus, we come tonight<\/p>\n
to<\/p>\n
reflect upon<\/p>\n
what you have done on the first Good<\/p>\n
Friday.<\/p>\n
Would you send your spirit tonight<\/p>\n
to warm our hearts<\/p>\n
as we contemplate<\/p>\n
the things that you have done?<\/p>\n
Help us to really um to really<\/p>\n
feel the weight<\/p>\n
of this broken world tonight<\/p>\n
and how you have come<\/p>\n
so that you can remedy this brokenness.<\/p>\n
be with us tonight, oh Lord God.<\/p>\n
Especially as we as the word is read, as<\/p>\n
a song is sung, as we listen to the<\/p>\n
reflection as well.<\/p>\n
In Jesus name we pray. Amen.<\/p>\n
Amen.<\/p>\n
The first song we're going to sing,<\/p>\n
we're going to actually sing it a few of<\/p>\n
the verses through our time together<\/p>\n
this evening. So we'll sing this first<\/p>\n
verse now,<\/p>\n
but we'll sing it twice through. So we<\/p>\n
have some time to reflect on the words,<\/p>\n
but this takes us through some<\/p>\n
vignettes, some different parts of um of<\/p>\n
those last few days and hours of Jesus's<\/p>\n
life before the crucifixion<\/p>\n
uh go to dark. So we enter into this<\/p>\n
time, Good Friday, of remembering his<\/p>\n
sacrifice on the cross. And we'll begin<\/p>\n
in the garden. So we'll sing this first<\/p>\n
verse twice.<\/p>\n
>> Go to dark<\/p>\n
at Sam.<\/p>\n
Ye that feel<\/p>\n
the temptor's power<\/p>\n
your redeemer's<\/p>\n
conflict<\/p>\n
see<\/p>\n
>> watch with him<\/p>\n
one bit hour<\/p>\n
Turn not from his grief away.<\/p>\n
>> Learn from Jesus<\/p>\n
Christ to pray.<\/p>\n
>> Sing that again.<\/p>\n
Go to dark.<\/p>\n
>> Ye that shield<\/p>\n
the tempter's power.<\/p>\n
Your redeemer's<\/p>\n
one bit out.<\/p>\n
>> Turn not from his creeps away.<\/p>\n
Learn from Jesus<\/p>\n
Matthew 27:es 1 to10. When morning came,<\/p>\n
all the chief priests and the elders of<\/p>\n
the people took counsel against Jesus to<\/p>\n
put him to death. And they bound him and<\/p>\n
led him away and delivered him over to<\/p>\n
Pilate the governor.<\/p>\n
Then when Judas, his betrayer, saw Jesus<\/p>\n
was condemned, he changed his mind and<\/p>\n
brought back the 30 pieces of silver to<\/p>\n
the chief priests and the elders,<\/p>\n
saying, I have sinned by betraying<\/p>\n
innocent blood. They said, \"What is that<\/p>\n
to us? See to it yourself.\" And throwing<\/p>\n
down the pieces of silver into the<\/p>\n
temple, he departed, and he went and<\/p>\n
hanged himself.<\/p>\n
But the chief priests taking the pieces<\/p>\n
of silver said, \"It is not lawful to put<\/p>\n
them into the treasury since it is blood<\/p>\n
money.\" So they took counsel and bought<\/p>\n
with them the potter's field as a burial<\/p>\n
place for strangers.<\/p>\n
Therefore, that field has been called<\/p>\n
the field of blood to this day. Then was<\/p>\n
fulfilled what had been spoken by the<\/p>\n
prophet Jeremiah, saying, \"And they took<\/p>\n
the 30 pieces of silver, the price of<\/p>\n
him on whom a price had been set by some<\/p>\n
of the sons of Israel, and they gave<\/p>\n
them for the potter's field, as the Lord<\/p>\n
directed them.<\/p>\n
Our<\/p>\n
world is broken.<\/p>\n
Betrayal<\/p>\n
destroys trust.<\/p>\n
Here are some statistics<\/p>\n
about marriage betrayal.<\/p>\n
The question is how common is betrayal<\/p>\n
in marriage?<\/p>\n
20 to 25% of marriage marriages<\/p>\n
experience infidelity<\/p>\n
in some at some point.<\/p>\n
In any given year about 2 to 4% of<\/p>\n
married people are actively cheating.<\/p>\n
Broader definition suggests rates can<\/p>\n
rise up to 40% of men and 35% of women.<\/p>\n
35% uh 20 to 25% of men and 10 to 15% of<\/p>\n
women admit to cheating.<\/p>\n
Betrayal is not just common. It is also<\/p>\n
the most destructive forces<\/p>\n
in marriage.<\/p>\n
About 10 to 50%<\/p>\n
of divorces are linked to cheating.<\/p>\n
For many, betrayal<\/p>\n
equal to sex outside of marriage.<\/p>\n
But emotional betrayal is just as<\/p>\n
devastating.<\/p>\n
Emotional affairs are extremely common.<\/p>\n
92% of women and the 79% of men report<\/p>\n
some form of emotional involvement<\/p>\n
outside of marriage.<\/p>\n
Betrayal is a global human issue.<\/p>\n
Up to 50% of people may cheat at least<\/p>\n
once.<\/p>\n
Thailand is among countries with highest<\/p>\n
infidelity rates.<\/p>\n
Our world is broken and Jesus<\/p>\n
experienced this brokenness of betrayal.<\/p>\n
Let's continue singing. We'll sing this<\/p>\n
second verse twice as well.<\/p>\n
Follow to<\/p>\n
the judgement<\/p>\n
hall. Feel<\/p>\n
the Lord<\/p>\n
of life arrange.<\/p>\n
Oh the world<\/p>\n
and the call.<\/p>\n
>> Oh the pain<\/p>\n
is so sustained.<\/p>\n
Not suffering, shame or loss.<\/p>\n
>> Learn from him to bear the cross.<\/p>\n
Follow to the judgement<\/p>\n
hall.<\/p>\n
>> You the Lord<\/p>\n
of life rain.<\/p>\n
>> Oh the word<\/p>\n

For the pain<\/p>\n

>> Shut not suffering shame or loss.<\/p>\n

Foreign<\/p>\n
world is broken,<\/p>\n
delayed. Justice is still injustice.<\/p>\n
UN expert deplore justice unfulfilled 22<\/p>\n
years after Sai Nila Pit's disappearance<\/p>\n
and raise reprisals concerns.<\/p>\n
They deplored uh they deplored to<\/p>\n
continue failure to declare uh to clear<\/p>\n
clarify the faith and whereabouts of the<\/p>\n
Thai human right lawyers<\/p>\n
22 years after his enforced<\/p>\n
disappearance.<\/p>\n
Enforced disappearance is a continued<\/p>\n
crime and an ongoing violation of<\/p>\n
victim's human rights. The expert warned<\/p>\n
the offense begins with the<\/p>\n
disappearance and persists for as long<\/p>\n
as the perpetrator continues to to<\/p>\n
conceal the victim's faith and<\/p>\n
whereabouts.<\/p>\n
So China was forcibly disappeared in<\/p>\n
Bangkok on March 12th, 2004.<\/p>\n
His enforced disappearance is believed<\/p>\n
to be linked to his legal representation<\/p>\n
of individuals<\/p>\n
al um uh alleging torture and ill<\/p>\n
treatment in Thailand's southern border<\/p>\n
provinces.<\/p>\n
His fate and whereabouts remain unknown<\/p>\n
and no one has been held accountable to<\/p>\n
date.<\/p>\n
As a party to the international<\/p>\n
convention of protection of all persons<\/p>\n
from enforced disappearance, Thailand is<\/p>\n
obliged to conduct prompt, thorough,<\/p>\n
indep independent and impartial<\/p>\n
investigation to the guar uh to<\/p>\n
guarantee the rights of disappeared<\/p>\n
person and their families to truth,<\/p>\n
justice, and reparations. The expert<\/p>\n
says these rights do not cease with the<\/p>\n
passage of time. They said on the on<\/p>\n
contrary prolong inaction entrenches<\/p>\n
impunity<\/p>\n
undermine confidence in the rule of law<\/p>\n
and hinders um um prevention.<\/p>\n
Our world is broken.<\/p>\n
Jesus experienced this brokenness.<\/p>\n
of injustice.<\/p>\n
What wondous love is this, oh my soul,<\/p>\n
oh my soul,<\/p>\n
what wondrous love is this, oh my soul,<\/p>\n
>> what wondous love is this that caused<\/p>\n
the Lord of bliss to bear the dreadful<\/p>\n
curse for my soul. For my soul<\/p>\n
to bear the dreadful curse for my soul.<\/p>\n
>> When I was sinking down, sinking down,<\/p>\n
sinking down.<\/p>\n
When I was sinking down, sinking down.<\/p>\n
When I was sinking down beneath<\/p>\n
God's righteous round, Christ laid aside<\/p>\n
his crown for my soul. For my soul.<\/p>\n
Christ laid aside his crown for my soul.<\/p>\n
To God and to the Lamb I will sing. I<\/p>\n
will sing.<\/p>\n
To God and to the Lamb I will sing.<\/p>\n
>> To God and to the Lamb who is the great<\/p>\n
I am. While millions join the theme, I<\/p>\n
will sing. I will sing.<\/p>\n
>> While millions join the theme, I will<\/p>\n
sing.<\/p>\n
>> And when from death I'm free, I'll sing<\/p>\n
on. I'll sing on.<\/p>\n
And when from death I'm free, I'll sing.<\/p>\n
>> And when from death I'm free, I'll sing.<\/p>\n
And joyful be. And through eternity<\/p>\n
I'll sing on. I'll sing on.<\/p>\n
And through eternity<\/p>\n
I'll sing on.<\/p>\n
The next passage is from Matthew 27<\/p>\n
verse 27-44.<\/p>\n
Then the soldiers of the governor took<\/p>\n
Jesus into the governor's headquarters,<\/p>\n
and they gathered the whole battalion<\/p>\n
before him.<\/p>\n
And they stripped him and put a scarlet<\/p>\n
robe on him. And twisting together a<\/p>\n
crown of thorns, they put it on his head<\/p>\n
and put a reed in his right hand. And<\/p>\n
kneeling before him, they mocked him,<\/p>\n
saying, \"Hail, King of the Jews.\" And<\/p>\n
they spit on him and took the reeds and<\/p>\n
struck him on the head. And when they<\/p>\n
had mocked him, they stripped him of the<\/p>\n
rope and put his own clothes on him and<\/p>\n
led him away to crucify him.<\/p>\n
As they went out, they found a man of<\/p>\n
Sirene, Simon by name. They compelled<\/p>\n
this man to carry his cross.<\/p>\n
And when they came to a place called<\/p>\n
Golova, which means place of a skull,<\/p>\n
they offered him wine to drink mixed<\/p>\n
with g. But when he tasted it, he would<\/p>\n
not drink it.<\/p>\n
And when they had crucified him, they<\/p>\n
divided his garments among them by<\/p>\n
casting lots.<\/p>\n
Then they sat down and kept watch over<\/p>\n
him there. And over his head they put<\/p>\n
the charge against him which read, \"This<\/p>\n
is Jesus, the King of the Jews.\"<\/p>\n
Then two robbers were crucified with<\/p>\n
him, one on the right and one on the<\/p>\n
left. And those who passed by derided<\/p>\n
him, wagging their heads and saying,<\/p>\n
\"You who will destroy the temple and<\/p>\n
rebuild it in three days. Save yourself.<\/p>\n
If you are the son of God, come down<\/p>\n
from the cross.<\/p>\n
So also the chief priests with the<\/p>\n
scribes and elders mocked him, saying,<\/p>\n
\"He saved others. He cannot save<\/p>\n
himself. He is the king of Israel. Let<\/p>\n
him come down now from the cross, and we<\/p>\n
will believe in him.<\/p>\n
He trusts in God. Let God deliver him<\/p>\n
now if he desires him. For he said, \"I<\/p>\n
am the son of God.\"<\/p>\n
And the robbers who were crucified with<\/p>\n
him also reviled him in the same way.<\/p>\n
Society dares to mock the creator God.<\/p>\n
The idea that so secular society is<\/p>\n
mocking God is often observed in broader<\/p>\n
cultural trends, especially in media,<\/p>\n
public discourse and u popular attitudes<\/p>\n
that reflect a growing pattern of<\/p>\n
ridicules, dismissal and rejection of<\/p>\n
God and Christian belief<\/p>\n
in many films, television shows and<\/p>\n
comedic perform platforms.<\/p>\n
God, Christianity and sacred practices<\/p>\n
are frequently portrayed in a negative<\/p>\n
or trivialized light.<\/p>\n
Christians are sometimes depict<\/p>\n
ignorant,<\/p>\n
hypocritical, and out of touch with<\/p>\n
reality. and religious practices such as<\/p>\n
prayer or worship are used as material<\/p>\n
for humor.<\/p>\n
In societ in social media, mockery of<\/p>\n
religious belief has been normalized.<\/p>\n
Memes, short videos, and viral posts<\/p>\n
often make light of prayers,<\/p>\n
u miracles, and biblical teachings.<\/p>\n
Christian morality is increasingly<\/p>\n
reframed and as harmful or regressive.<\/p>\n
Teachings on topics such as sexuality,<\/p>\n
truth, exclusivity<\/p>\n
are often portrayed not just as dated<\/p>\n
but as morally wrong and dangerous.<\/p>\n
The tone can often shift from<\/p>\n
disagreement to scorn where biblical<\/p>\n
convictions are not just rejected but<\/p>\n
openly criticized and mocked.<\/p>\n
In intellectual and academic sphere,<\/p>\n
faith is sometimes dismissed as<\/p>\n
irrational, impunitive<\/p>\n
and uh primitive, sorry, primitive and<\/p>\n
merely psychological.<\/p>\n
Influential voice may describe belief in<\/p>\n
God as a form of delusion and cope and a<\/p>\n
coping mechanism for the weak.<\/p>\n
This kind of dismissal still reflect a<\/p>\n
posture of scorn,<\/p>\n
reducing faith to something unworthy of<\/p>\n
serious consideration.<\/p>\n
We must recognize that there are<\/p>\n
different levels of cultural response to<\/p>\n
God.<\/p>\n
Some people are indifferent, treating<\/p>\n
God as irrelevant to their lives.<\/p>\n
Others actively reject God,<\/p>\n
seeing religious belief as false or<\/p>\n
harmful.<\/p>\n
Still others openly mocks God, treating<\/p>\n
him and faith as objects of ridicule.<\/p>\n
In a context like Bangkok, this dynamic<\/p>\n
may appear differently than in the<\/p>\n
western cultures. Overt mocking may be<\/p>\n
less common, but subtle dismissal,<\/p>\n
pluralism or the marginaliz<\/p>\n
marginalization of exclusive truth<\/p>\n
claims can function in similar way.<\/p>\n
experienced this brokenness of mocking<\/p>\n
the son of God.<\/p>\n
How deep the Father's love for us.<\/p>\n
How vast beyond all measure<\/p>\n
that he should give his only son<\/p>\n
>> to make a wretched treure.<\/p>\n
>> How great the pain of sering loss.<\/p>\n
>> The father turns his face away.<\/p>\n
As wounds which mar the chosen one<\/p>\n
bring many sons to glory.<\/p>\n
>> Behold the man upon the cross.<\/p>\n
My sin upon his shoulders.<\/p>\n
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice<\/p>\n
call out among the scoffers.<\/p>\n
It was my sin that held him there<\/p>\n
>> until it was accomplished.<\/p>\n
His dying breath has brought me life.<\/p>\n
I know that it is fair.<\/p>\n
>> I will not boast in,<\/p>\n
>> no gifts, no power, no wisdom.<\/p>\n
>> But I will boast in Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n
his death and resurrection.<\/p>\n
>> Why should I gain from his reward?<\/p>\n
>> I can not give an answer.<\/p>\n
>> But this I know with all my heart.<\/p>\n

Suffering is experienced by every human<\/p>\n
being from birth to death.<\/p>\n
In Buddhism, the Buddha teaches that<\/p>\n
suffering is a fundamental part of the<\/p>\n
human ex exist existence.<\/p>\n
This idea is captured in the concept of<\/p>\n
which includes not only obvious pain and<\/p>\n
hardship but also deeper form of<\/p>\n
dissatisfaction,<\/p>\n
impermanence and a sense of life never<\/p>\n
fully satisfied our desire.<\/p>\n
For the Buddha one, life involve<\/p>\n
sufferings<\/p>\n
in birth, aging, sickness, death, loss,<\/p>\n
and unmet desires.<\/p>\n
Two, suffering comes from craving. Our<\/p>\n
desire for pleasure, control, identity,<\/p>\n
and permanence. Three, suffering is can<\/p>\n
end by letting go of craving and desire.<\/p>\n
And four, suffering can be overcome<\/p>\n
through self discipline, living and<\/p>\n
insight.<\/p>\n
Both Buddhism and Christianity sees that<\/p>\n
something is deeply wrong with humanity.<\/p>\n
Buddha Buddhism calls this to<\/p>\n
while the Bible describes this<\/p>\n
brokenness as sin. Both agrees that root<\/p>\n
problem lies within us. Buddhism sees<\/p>\n
craving as the source of suffering while<\/p>\n
Christianity<\/p>\n
def um identifies sin, the turning away<\/p>\n
from God as the root cause. Both<\/p>\n
recognize that true relief requires more<\/p>\n
than external um external change. It<\/p>\n
requires a deeper transformation.<\/p>\n
Buddhism seeks to end suffering by<\/p>\n
extinguishing desire.<\/p>\n
While Christianity seeks to redeem<\/p>\n
suffering through restored relationship<\/p>\n
with God and transform desire through<\/p>\n
the work of another.<\/p>\n
But I can Do<\/p>\n

So the next reading will be from Matthew<\/p>\n
chapter 27 55-6.<\/p>\n
There were also many women there looking<\/p>\n
on from distance who have followed Jesus<\/p>\n
from Galilee ministering to him. Among<\/p>\n
whom were Mary Magdalene and Mary the<\/p>\n
mother of James and Joseph and the<\/p>\n
mother of the sons of Zebedee. When it<\/p>\n
was evening<\/p>\n
there came a rich man from Martha named<\/p>\n
Joseph who also was a disciple of Jesus.<\/p>\n
He went to Pilate and asked for the body<\/p>\n
of Jesus. Then Pilate ordered it to be<\/p>\n
given to him. And Joseph took the body<\/p>\n
and wrapped it in a clean linen shroud<\/p>\n
and laid it in his own new tomb<\/p>\n
which had a which had cut in the rock.<\/p>\n
And he rolled a great stone to the<\/p>\n
entrance of the tomb and went away. Mary<\/p>\n
Magdalene and the other Mary were there<\/p>\n
sitting opposite the tomb. The next day<\/p>\n
that is after the day of preparation the<\/p>\n
chief priests and the Pharisees gathered<\/p>\n
before Pilate and said sir we remember<\/p>\n
how that impostor said while he was<\/p>\n
still alive after three days I will<\/p>\n
rise. therefore ordered the tomb to be<\/p>\n
made secure until the third day. Thus<\/p>\n
his disciple go and steal his him away<\/p>\n
and tell the people he has risen from<\/p>\n
the dead.<\/p>\n
And the last fraud the last fraud will<\/p>\n
be worse than the first. Pilate said to<\/p>\n
them, \"You have a guard of soldiers. Go<\/p>\n
make it as secure as you can.\" So they<\/p>\n
went and made the tomb secure by sealing<\/p>\n
the stone and sitting a guard.<\/p>\n
Continue singing. We'll sing this last<\/p>\n
verse of Go to Dark Gethsemane twice as<\/p>\n
well.<\/p>\n

I take this time to<\/p>\n
end the service by reading together<\/p>\n
um<\/p>\n
the Haidber catechism<\/p>\n
to remind us that perhaps what we feel<\/p>\n
about the experience of the world today<\/p>\n
is not the end.<\/p>\n
Okay? because we have Christ who<\/p>\n
suffered death on our behalf. Okay. So,<\/p>\n
I'm going to read the question and<\/p>\n
please um why don't we stand together<\/p>\n
and read this together. Okay.<\/p>\n
Why was it necessary<\/p>\n
for Christ to suffer death?<\/p>\n
Because the justice and truth of God<\/p>\n
requires that satisfaction for our sin<\/p>\n
could be made in no other way than by<\/p>\n
the death of the son of God. Let's pray<\/p>\n
together.<\/p>\n
Lord Jesus, we come before you today to<\/p>\n
recognize<\/p>\n
that you being the very nature of God<\/p>\n
did not conceal yourself<\/p>\n
um God. But you have become man and have<\/p>\n
experienced suffering the way that this<\/p>\n
world is suffering. Lord God,<\/p>\n
Lord God, we come before you today to<\/p>\n
give you thanks to be uh to celebrate<\/p>\n
another Good Friday because we receive<\/p>\n
the good from your suffering, oh Lord.<\/p>\n
Lord, so would you remind us as we<\/p>\n
uh go our separate ways today<\/p>\n
of the wonderful grace that you have<\/p>\n
shown to us to that very first Good<\/p>\n
Friday that you have come to die on the<\/p>\n
cross so that we may be set free from<\/p>\n
death from um from sin and death and<\/p>\n
suffering.<\/p>\n
Lord, would you bring us back on Sunday<\/p>\n
also so that we can celebrate the<\/p>\n
victory of the risen Christ together? In<\/p>\n
Jesus name we pray. Amen.<\/p>\n
