and I plan to keep it that way you're not the first you know for a long time even Jesus's closest friends didn't know who he was until one day when Jesus led his disciples to the top of a mountain at the top of the mountain an amazing thing happened two other men appeared beside Jesus great men of God who had died many years before one was Elijah some people worshipped another God but called him upon the wall Elijah set them straight [Music] [Applause] [Music] you the other man was Moses who led his people out of Egypt [Applause] this is my son you must do what he says [Music] do not tell anyone what you've seen until I have risen from the dead [Music] you see Jesus knew it wasn't the right time to reveal who he really was I can understand how he felt well thanks Ben I hope it goes

see you have until my party tomorrow to either bow before me or die take him away [Music] and I'm les tactic espoused before narrow at the party tomorrow night he'll be executed Oh No why couldn't excuse just keep quiet about being a Christian we all know following God's Way can be dangerous it was the same for Jesus when he returned to Jerusalem where he knew many of his enemies would be waiting it was the time of the Passover festival and the city was very crowded there were many soldiers also fishermen and farmers from Galilee who supported the freedom fighters the people had heard about Jesus and were very excited they thought God's chosen leader had arrived at last but Jesus hadn't yet arrived in the city he was in Bethany near the Mount of Olives go into the village there you will find a donkey bring them back with you why are you untying that donkey our master needs it but but he will send it back soon many years before one of the prophets had said that a true king would come to Jerusalem but instead of riding a horse he would ride a donkey as the one who comes in God's name bless the kingdom of David of course not everyone was so happy some religious leaders were worried by the crowds excitement many people hope Jesus would lead them into battle against the Roman army but great generals don't drive donkeys there had been many so-called messiahs but this one was different [Applause] so you see even though it was very dangerous Jesus knew the time had come to reveal who he really was but his tactic is does that Nero will kill him not if we break tactic us out of the palace first Oh boom and I've got just the plan Ben and I can get to the dungeon through the aqueduct Miriam can help too she knows the palace inside and out we don't need Miriam will have

sent a servant to collect his share of the prods when the servant returned to his master he had been badly beaten the owner sent another servant but maybe him up to the owners sent other servants some were beaten [Music] others were killed [Music] perhaps if I send you they will show more respect be careful my son [Music] it's the honors son the vineyard will belong to him when his father dies not necessarily [Music] all the treachery the deceit I love it the man who first told this story must have been great indeed who he is in fact he was speaking to the leaders of his religion at the time
