John chapter 11 We begin reading verses 45 and 46. I'll give you an introduction and we'll move on into our study So let's begin here in John chapter 11 at verse 45 and again I'll read verses 45 and 46 and we'll get into our study And John writes then many of the Jews who had come to Mary and had seen the things Jesus did believed in him But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things Jesus did now as we set the The scene here. We need to remember that Jesus had just raised his dear friend Lazarus from the dead and In the raising of Lazarus Jesus is actually giving to us a bit of a picture of what is going to take place in the future Resurrection now he'd already said back in chapter 5 verses 28 and 29 Do not marvel at this for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear his voice and Come forth those who have done good to the resurrection of life and those who have done evil to the resurrection of condemnation So Jesus has already begins begun speaking concerning resurrection and all and so they just saw a visible picture of the dead coming to life and as that took place as This says in verse 45 Many of the Jews who had come to Mary and had seen the things Jesus did well many of them believed in him You see the miracle of raising Lazarus from the dead Convinced them that Jesus Christ is Messiah Now notice it says many who saw the things that Jesus did believed in him as Messiah And so their hearts were turned toward him as they were there grieving over the death of a very dear friend You see when a friend or a loved one dies many times people become open to the gospel of Jesus Christ they listen and Many times they'll receive the Lord We've seen in funeral ceremonies that that we have performed in this fellowship that I have that I have performed I've seen people come to faith in the Lord as they heard the message of life and That takes place You you would be blessed and surprised to know many times in funeral services They come and their hearts are open there They're they're sorrowful over the loss of someone they love very dearly and then they hear the message of hope and They see that this friend of theirs that they cared about had a sincere faith in Christ And it provokes them to hear what it said and many times people come to faith in those particular events There's just something about a funeral that makes people think about eternity It reminds me of Ecclesiastes in the Old Testament Ecclesiastes 7 verse 2 Where it says it is better to spend your time at funerals than at festivals For you're going to die and you should think about it while there's still time Very practical maybe morbid to some but very practical advice It's it's better to go to the house of mourning than to a party Because you contemplate your end and begin to realize that your time on earth is Limited and that's exactly what is taking place These people are seen what took place and then they see that Lazarus was raised from the dead and the miracle of that Resurrection of Lazarus spoke to their heart and there there are some who see something like that And they believe in Jesus Christ who said I am the resurrection in the life But then verse 46 goes on to say but some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them the things Jesus did So instead of believing they became more Antagonistic toward him and they went and reported him to the religious officials They were hardened in their opposition to him and they sided with the traditions of the Pharisees You see for them if their religious leaders are not right then nobody can be We live in a time like that too right now don't we where we can speak to people and we can say to them What our faith has taught us concerning Jesus what the word of God says concerning him, but they will respond sometimes I've had it perhaps you have had it said to you too Well, I'm gonna go along with the traditions I've received from my mom or my dad or my own religion and People do that. They do that all the time The if it's this mentality if my religious leader isn't right then nobody's right Well Luke chapter 5 verse 39 Jesus said this he said no one having drunk old wine Immediately desires new for he says the old is better and that's how a lot of people are I remember when I had a friend of mine who was sharing with me the gospel of Jesus Christ And and I was raised as a Catholic and so, you know, he kept sharing with me And I found it to be a bit difficult even a little You know, I just got I would get up tied over I didn't want to hear it And so I wanted to come up with some answers to the things that he was saying to me And so I went to see my own priests my parish priest and and I still remember going to To the church st. Pius the 10th church in Santa Fe spring. Some of you might be familiar with that And that's where I went to church as a kid That's where I got my first communion and my confirmation And that is the church that regarded me as one of its members and I went there and I spoke to the parish priest And I said to him listen, I have a situation I've got this Protestant because I was fighting words back then, you know, Protestant Catholics We didn't get along and I said, you know, uh, I've got this Protestant talking to me about Jesus And I'm pretty upset about it and I want you to give me stuff so I can go back and show him how wrong he is And I still remember that because I wanted to fight. I wanted to fight with my friend I wanted to show him he was wrong And so I went to the priest and I still remember him leaning back in his chair and putting his arms And kind of resting as he looks at me and then I think I might have mentioned this recently comes to mind though How that he said to me, you know, I've tried all kinds of things buddhism Hinduism He says I came back and so will you and and that's when I walked out and I said he doesn't know the truth That's when I walked out. I said because listen, man, if you know If you know that I just sounded like Biden didn't I listen man, but if Listen corn pop no I'm sorry that makes me laugh. But anyway We'll edit that from my from my study But when I walked out I thought if you listen, I thought if you know what truth is You're gonna hold fast to it You're gonna present it if you know it. But if you don't know it It's obvious too And that's what helped me to begin to question whether I really knew what truth was And that's what helped me to be more open Because I used to think if my religious leaders aren't right Then nobody can be right And these people go directly to their religious leaders and they begin to report Jesus christ For what he has done and there's a division. There's a division over what Jesus did And again, that's that's a common result when people are put into the place Of confronting his claims Jesus made it clear that people would be divided over him He even went so far as to say not just people in general But those who are closest to you Remember in luke 12 51 through 53 how he said do you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? I tell you not at all But rather division For from now on five in one house will be divided three against two And two against three Father will be divided against son and son against father Mother against daughter daughter against mother Mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law There will be division over the lord jesus christ and so that's what's taking place Some believed and some went to the Pharisees to tell them what jesus had done to report against him Well verse 47 the the chief priest and the Pharisees gathered a council and said what shall we do? For this man works many signs if we let him alone like this Everyone will believe in him and the romans will come and take away both our place and nation And one of them kaif is being high priest that you're said to them You know nothing at all nor do you consider that it is expedient for us that one man should die for the people And not that the whole nation should perish So I want you to notice this as we look at this look at look what takes place They hear of the miracle the chief priests gather a council When they gather this council, it's made up the of the influential religious leaders It's the high priest members of the leading families and the Pharisees the Pharisees are a religious Denomination in israel at that time. They were very influential though They were what we would today refer to as a a religious minority within the religion The Sadducees had many more followers than the Pharisees, but these Pharisees had tremendous influence And so they gathered together in order that they might plan on how they're going to influence the people to reject jesus christ They did it Out of rebellion. They did it out of spiritual hardness. They wanted To plot against the lord that reminds me of psalm two verses one through four Where the psalmist said why did the nations rage and the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves the rulers take counsel together Against the lord and against his anointed saying let us break their bonds and pieces and cast away their cords from us He who sits in heaven in the heavens shall laugh The lord shall hold them in derision You know, there's an old saying your arms are too short to box against god and that's true The lord will hold them in derision. You think you can rebel against me and you think that you can win Well, it says in verse 47. What shall we do? This man works many signs in other words They know that he's performing miracles and they don't deny that jesus performed miracles. They admit it But they consider the miracles that jesus performs They consider them to be demonic in origin In matthew 9 34 it says the Pharisees said he casts out demons by the ruler Of the demons and so they believe that jesus is doing something but that his power is not from god They believe that something is happening But the power is not from the lord And so they're concerned verse 48 if we let them alone like this everyone will believe in him So they're seeing the evidence, but they're closing their eyes to it. They're hardening their hearts Against him and once again that still takes place to this day You get saved your life begins to change. It's as a matter of fact, it's absolutely changed But there are those who will look at that and they'll say no, that can't be true. That can't be so that can't be real Or they may say well, that's because he's in a cult now I cannot tell you how many times over the years in the history of this church I've had people say that their relatives are warning them against coming to hear me teach in the church Because we're a cult. I can't tell you how many times I've heard that and they're right now They see a change they see a Work in in in the god is doing but they want to deny it So they they can't say that it isn't happening. So they'll simply say well satan is behind all of that And they're saying it they're saying the romans will come and take away our place notice that And when they say that the romans may come and take away our our place and and our nation This is interesting because there are different ways to interpret what they mean when they say take away our place When you read your bible, for example Our place or place Could refer to the temple Which is called in scripture this holy place or this place Acts 6 verses 13 and 14 for example It says they put forward false witnesses who said this man Incessantly speaks against this holy place And the law for we have heard him say that this Nazarene Jesus will destroy this place And alter the customs which moses handed down to us So the so the temple has been referred to as this holy place or this place So it would mean that they were afraid that the romans would destroy the temple If we follow after jesus the romans may see as guilty of insurrection and come and destroy this place this holy place That would mean they were afraid that the romans would destroy the temple and ultimately as we Read history that actually happened it happened in ad 70 Titus of Rome ordered the destruction of the temple There was a man by the name of josephus He is what is referred to as a priest a scholar as well as a historian and he lived Around 37 to a hundred ad and in his book Josephus wrote these words. He said One of the soldiers without staying Without waiting for any orders Without any concern or dread upon him at so great an undertaking and being hurried on by a certain divine fury Snatched what snatched somewhat out of the materials that were on fire And being lifted up by another soldier He set fire to the golden window Through which there was a passage to the rooms that were round about the holy house on the north side of it As the flames went up toward the jew Upward the jews made a great clamor such as so mighty an affliction required and ran together to prevent it And now they spared not their lives any longer nor suffered anything to restrain their force Since that holy house was perishing for whose sake it was that they kept such a guard upon it And what happened is as it says a soldier threw a fiery brand in it caught some it caught some drapes on fire Ignited and there was a lot of gold inside of the temple and the heat was so intense That the gold itself was melted And there was so much gold there that once the fire Ended the romans went in and began to pry apart stones And they chipped away and were able to get the gold that had melted in and had melted into the cracks of the stones And that temple was destroyed and so when they're speaking here And they're speaking concerning this holy place and they might come and take it away There are some who will say that they were referring to the temple They're afraid that they're going to lose the temple and in one way that actually again did happen in the year ad 70 But it can also speak concerning their status or their influence in the nation They would be afraid and i lean more towards this by the way They would be afraid that their place would be taken their status Because they were a great influence and we're going to lose our place We're going to lose our status here if they if we lose it to this itinerant rabbi named jesus We're going to lose our influence in this nation because people are beginning to listen to him and they're rejecting our teachings Well, that would be what is called the sin of envy on the part of the religious leaders And when you read your bible you discover that it's the sin of envy that led them to handing jesus over to the romans We see that in mark 15 verse 10 Where it says he knew that the chief priest had handed jesus over because of envy I lean more in the direction Of them saying if we allow jesus christ to get the preeminence in the way that he's earning it We are going to be regarded as nothing and he will be exalted And man is of such nature that we will rebel against our creator and we don't want to be less than him When you receive christ's lord and savior it requires humility on your part in order to say i've been the master on my own throne but now i'm going to Get off that throne so you can take your rightful place That's called humility and the Pharisees are not known for their humility Jesus addressed them as very proud and arrogant And jesus made it very clear especially when you read matthew 23 of what kinds of people they were And jesus exposed them and even was was so bold as to call them hip hypocrites when he spoke of their religious practice I've said this to you before remember it that in the in the nation of israel There were three things that you did no less than these three things that you would do That would make people say that you are a holy person that you are a righteous person There are three basic things you would pray you would fast and you would give your alms or your gifts or your charitable contributions Those were the three things in jewish religion That caused people to regard you as holy And what what is it that jesus said about that he said don't be like these hypocrites They stand on the street corners and they pray He says so they get attention from men. I say they get the reward When they give they given an ostentatious open way to gain some some Honor from men That's how they give when they fast he says they make themselves look sad and they walk around town So people know that they're fasting those are the three things That was an evidence of religious faith during the time of christ And jesus would speak to them and he'd say you guys and he does this he says he says you you circle Or the globe to make one convert and what you have converted him you make him twice the child of hell that you yourself are He said your white wash tombs beautiful on the outside But on the inside you are filled with dead men's bones and all kinds of decay. That's not flattering No wonder the Pharisees didn't like jesus Because he would say that to their face I really wonder if some of the christian tv programs radio programs or rallies would ever invite jesus to come and speak Think about it for a minute And jesus was up here. Hello hypocrites. I Oh, I see i've got a white wash tomb over there. I don't know, you know, how many white wash tombs we have today, you know, I But that's how he taught That's why it's so important for us to go through the whole council of god Because you can always select passages that appeal to your flesh But when you go through the whole council, you see both the good and that which convicts and that's a good thing We need both we need encouragement But we also need conviction And so this is what takes place here. And so they're saying we don't want him To gain the ascendancy because we can lose our place in this nation The jewish authorities knew that the people appreciated what jesus was saying Matthew 21 46 says it like this when they sought to lay hands on him They feared the multitudes because they took him as a profit So they're aware that his ministry is inflaming what is called messianic expectations And arguments concerning jesus had become more common We saw in john 9 verse 16 Some of the Pharisees said this man's not from god because he doesn't keep the Sabbath Others said how can a man who's a sinner do such things and there was a division among them? So this was already taking place So they feared pilot because he could be harsh when solving problems amongst the jews and they didn't want to inflame him History records how on one occasion pilot had sent troops to kill some that he considered as enemies of roam These people were from galilee. They may have been what are called the zealots And pilot dealt quickly with them and dealt ruthlessly with them And it left such an impression that when you read your bible luke 13 verse 1 says this There were present at that season some who told him about the Galileans whose blood pilot had mingled with their sacrifices See he was known for being blood thirsty He was known to be very harsh And so the authorities were concerned that he'd do the same to them So verse 49 one of them kyophus Being high priest that year said to them as you know nothing at all So kyophus was a high priest. He occupied that position from around 18 bc until around 36 bc He was a sabbous sad you see and he considered himself intellectually superior to others He called them witless brainless creatures. That's a kind way to speak of people I meant 36 ad by the way And so he was not a kind man. And so he's speaking and he says, uh, you don't know anything you guys are are without knowledge Verse 50 Nor do you consider that it is expedient for us? Now, this is important to see Nor do you consider that it is expedient for us that one man should die for the people And not that the whole nation should perish Now we'll look at that for a minute rudely aggressively kyophus begins Express what is at least in the way he thinks obvious And what is it that is obvious? We need to get rid of jesus Jesus must die And he's saying It's better to sacrifice one man than to lose an entire nation That's what he says in verse 50. He says one man should die for the people Now pilot wasn't speaking from a religious perspective of jesus dying on the cross for the salvation of man He was speaking from a practical perspective He's saying sacrifices one man so the nation Can be preserved But what he doesn't realize is he's speaking from inspiration It says it in verse 51 This he did not say on his own authority but being high priest that year he prophesied that jesus would die for the nation And so he doesn't even realize that he's speaking from inspiration Virtually speaking this is why jesus came to earth This would speak of a substitutionary death Man salvation rests fully On the necessity Of the atonement for our sins Why is that? Let me talk to you about that for just a moment because this is a very important phrase here And it's a prophetic word coming from a man who doesn't even realize that he's speaking by the provocation of the holy spirit One of the things we need to understand is the bible points out that every human being is a sinner And you don't become a sinner the moment you sin you sin because you're born a sinner There are arguments about that some of you perhaps have spoken to people and maybe you at one time owned that as a belief system for yourself You thought that you became a sinner The moment you sinned But the bible doesn't teach that there are certain cults that do but the bible doesn't teach that The bible teaches that I sin because I am born a sinner. That's what I am Psalm 51 verse 5 I was brought forth in iniquity in sin. My mother conceived me Romans 5 12 Therefore just as through one man sin entered the world and death through sin and thus death spread to all men because all sin That's a theology that speaks concerning our human nature when adam sinned His human nature our nature his human nature Is passed on to every person? And so I sin because I have what is called the adamic nature I am a son of adam and because adam fell All humanity fell in him And because we all fell in him and because you can only beget after your own likeness When his wife was giving birth to children. They were all born with sin natures So our lineage when you want to do your ancestry dna It's going to go all the way back to adam And so when you do your ancestry you need to realize that your daddy was a sinner And his daddy was a sinner and his daddy was a sinner all the way back to our first daddy adam adam was a sinner And he gave me Through my birth a sin nature and that's what romans 5 12 says. So I sin Because by nature That's what I do And I've heard people argue I really I've seen educated people argue That that were born with a blank slate And that we actually become something as people basically write on this slate and Through the way we were raised we began to live certain ways and we become thieves because We were taught to be That's just not true We became liars because we were taught how to lie well one when you're a child you don't even know what truth is What you see is what is expedient?  He's only what a month and a half or so two months at the most now That guy's mean My little grandson he gets mad very easily Very easily and my my daughter crin it's her baby. My daughter crin speaks to me And she said daddy was I like this and I said yeah Just like that just like that. He has to be held constantly if she puts him down he gets mad And I just him. Thank you god. You do answer prayer Because I pray that you the Korean would have a baby just like her. Thank you Jesus Because Korean Korean we would have to put her in her car seat at three months four months old on the kitchen table while Marie and I ate If she was anywhere else outside of her little rocking thing that we used to put next to us If we put her somewhere else, she'd be screaming at us I had to put her on the table Looking at us while we were eating and she would just keep an eye in case somebody's having fun That was Korean human nature And it's showing itself for what it is And so Korean he asked that she really did she said daddy was I like this I said absolutely Absolutely one time your mama. I went to work and I lived close to work. I've told you this before but it's true I went to work. I came back at lunch.  I came home a little after five And Marie was still nursing. She had never gotten off the couch She and I walked in and Marie it looked like a spider had taken all of her fluid from and Marie looks at me All sunk and eyed and everything I haven't moved haven't moved Look what happens and Marie would draw away from Korean and Korean would start. Ah, she started screaming So my Jackson is that way too And it's human nature. Nobody can tell me that he learned that from somewhere It's our nature And we do what we want and we want what we want right now And the bible makes it clear That's our nature. We all are born with the sin nature. That is people will argue. Well, that's self preservation But we continue that into adulthood We continue that until the day we die if we're not redeemed Fighting for what is mine. You can't have it put two children in a room in one toy and see what happens UFC got nothing on those babies fighting They're going to go after it and a kid can have a whole pile of his toys and one kid comes walking in And every one of those toys now become more important to him no matter what that other kid wants That's the one that kid wants where'd that come from their mother? No, where'd that come from? It came from human nature. That's what it is And so the bible makes it very clear visions 2 verse 3 among whom also We all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh Fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind and we're by nature children of wrath just as the others So we're sinners the word sin is most commonly defined as missing the mark It's the condition of all mankind Again, we're born with sin natures Romans 3 23 all have sinned and fall short of the glory of god Ecclesi Ecclesiastes 7 20 there is not a just man on earth who does good and does not sin And then second There's something that happens because of our sin and that is it makes separation between god and us And also create separation between us and others In isaia 59 one and two behold the lord's hand is not shortened that it cannot save Nor his ear heavy that it cannot hear But your iniquities have separated you from your god your sins Have hidden his face from you so that he will not hear Jeremiah 5 25 simply says your sins have withheld good from you And so sin makes separation because we've all missed the mark and then third the end result is death Romans 6 23 says the wages of sin is death and then finally After death comes judgment Hebrews 9 27 says it is appointed to men to die once but after this the judgment So christ was offered once to bear the sins of many to those who eagerly wait for him He will appear a second time apart from sin for salvation It's appointed unto men to die once So this is what's taking place So verse 50 again kyphus said it is expedient for us that one man should die for the people And as it says this was a spirit inspired utterance this happened Jesus was offered up to bear our sins and we are called to trust in him Yes, it is expedient for us that one man should die for the nation that jesus would die on a cross for us So that we might have life and not perish his the bible says that jesus gave himself as a ransom He took upon himself human flesh And he died on our behalf And he became our mediator In Hebrews 2 14 and 15 the writer says In as much as in as much than as the children have partaken of flesh and blood He himself likewise shared in the same That through death he might destroy him who had the power of death That is the devil and release those who through fear of death Were all their lifetime subject to bondage jesus took upon himself human flesh and died on our behalf Now as he's speaking verse 51 says this he didn't say on his own authority But this was actually because he was a high priest and being a high priest He prophesied that jesus would die for the nation But pilot intended to be political truth God intended to convey deeper meaning And he unknowingly prophesied The atonement the sacrificial death of jesus For us because he says In verse 52 Not for that nation only But also That he would gather together in one the children of god who were scattered Abroad Now notice how john broadens the meaning of his death He didn't die for israel alone But notice he said also that he would gather in one the children of god remember Jesus earlier had said in chapter 10 verse 16 He said other sheep i have which are not of this fold Them also i must bring and they will hear my voice and there will be one flock and one shepherd I've shared this with you before i said i shared it recently i'll remind you of it for just a moment It was a mystery that was withheld in the old testament that was revealed in the new That the jews would actually become one with the gentiles I've shared this before i'll say it again to get to the point i want to make In the old testament the jews are referred to as the people of god But the gentiles are those who are without god When references made in the old testament about jew and gentile humanity was divided into the two There's the jew And then there's the gentile The jew is a jew not simply through lineage or through Genetic heritage but jew is one paul makes it clear in the book of romans who has faith in god Well, that wasn't real clear in the old testament And so what you have is you have the jews the jews were given the law the jews were given the prophets The jews that were given messiah as jesus took upon himself you in flesh as a jewish man But when jesus came and died on the cross What jesus did paul says to the ephesians as he broke down the wall of separation between the jew and the gentile And the two became what is called the one new man So there is no longer jew and there's no longer gentile There is the one new man So in the old testament humanity is divided into jew and gentile In the new testament humanity is divided into jew Gentile and the church the church is made up of The one new man either the jew The gentile have given their lives to christ messiah And we are now one in christ a mystery in the old testament and and you you you were gentiles in here most of us Uh, we wouldn't understand that Because we were raised You know in a nation that at least in its foundations and underpinnings had Uh church kind of background and a lot of people were raised in churches. We never knew that But in the old testament The jews had no dealings with the non jews in a religious sense because they were the people of god And so in the new testament when when people were coming to faith in christ It was a mystery And even when paul would go and preach and you could see this in the book of acts when he would go and he would preach and he would Go to the synagogues because as he said to the romans to the jew first and also to the gentile He would go to the synagogue whenever he went into the town and he would want to speak first to his own people According to the flesh because he says how much he loved these people He says i have a heart for them might even give up my own salvation if they would get saved This is the depth of love he had for the jewish nation But When he would say god has sent me to speak to the gentiles Then the people would riot and get upset because there's no way that the jew and the gentile are supposed to have relationship And you see that actually happening in the book of acts paul was almost killed in a riot one time Because they started saying he brought a gentile into the holy place into the temple And they wanted to kill him because they had seen paul walking with some gentiles And they began to accuse him of bringing him in to a place that they were forbidden that was strong during the time of paul And yet he was inspired by the spirit of god to speak concerning the fact that no there's no longer jew There's no longer gentile. There's now the body of christ. We are one in him We have to be careful with that We have to remember that and and this is something that We all know in this fellowship, but i'll say it and move on some other things But we have to be careful that we don't forget That we are brothers and sisters in christ with whomever is genuinely saved And it doesn't matter what their ethnic background is should never matter Because there's something greater than my ethnicity and that is my relationship with god through jesus christ Who changes our lives and makes us one and that is So important for us to remember we have to understand that and we need to remember that And so here we have a man who because he's holding the office of high priest making a prophecy that he doesn't even realize That he's making and the reason is because he was it says in verse 51 again High priest he prophesied that jesus would tie for the nation, but he goes on to expand it And not for that nation only but also that he would gather together and won the children of god Who are scattered abroad he was going to bring people together to become One that there would be one flock and one shepherd He was going to break down that wall of separation. He's creating that one new man Ephesians 2 15 By his death he ended the whole system of jewish law that excluded the Gentiles His purpose was to make peace between jews and Gentiles by creating in himself One new person from the two groups And so verse 53 Then from that day on they plotted to put him to death Therefore jesus no longer walked openly among the jews But went from there into the country near the wilderness to a city called Ephraim And there remained with his disciples and the Passover the jews was near And many went from the country up to Jerusalem before the Passover to purify themselves and They sought jesus and spoke among themselves as they stood in the temple. What do you think that he will not come to the feast Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command that if anyone knew where he was He might report it or he should report it that they might seize him And so they're plotting now officially plotting To put him to death. They want to take him They're going to plot to discover how they're going to be able to do that And they're going to be able to try him In order that they may put him to death because they have had enough of jesus and what he's done And it was over the miracle of what had happened in the raising of Lazarus from the dead Because they could not speak against that miracle and because they couldn't speak against it They had to formulate plans to stop the one who raises the dead to life Jesus is aware of that notice verse 54. So he no longer walks openly among them He went from there into a country into the country Near the wilderness to a city called Ephraim. I was looking up where this particular city is Ephraim and there's a whole lot of discussion amongst the commentators because the older commentators didn't know where it was and the more recent commentators through archaeological Discovery say that it's a little bit to the northeast of the city of jerusalem It's down there in the south that's where jesus went into an area there where he could be ministering in relative security for a little while In verse 55 the Passover of the jews was near and many went from the country up to jerusalem Before the Passover to purify themselves And it says and They sought jesus spoke among themselves as they stood in the temple. Can you picture that that happens even here in church? Not this kind of discussion, but I picture that they're there in the temple area They're having fellowship and discussion and they're speaking to people They know probably friends and hall and they begin to ask honest questions Well, what do you think that he'll not come to the feast? Why because it's well known that the officials are after him So they're saying do you think he's going to come or do you think he'll stay away? They're having discussion concerning jesus christ, but as all this is taking place the stage has been set It's almost time for jesus to die Now notice again that john tells us this Passover Is nine this Passover is at hand That's the third Passover that's mentioned in the gospel of john Which helps us to know that jesus's ministry lasted at least three years You see we're told by luke that jesus was around 30 years old when he began his ministry When you look at john you will count that there are three passovers that he mentions He mentioned one in chapter two He mentioned one in chapter six and now he mentions another one here in chapter 11 That tells us that jesus's ministry went two years more than likely three years That helps us to know because you'll hear this in bible studies that jesus was around 33 when he died That's how we know because you count the passovers And john spoke of three of them So you're able to say that he went to at least three After the age of 30. So he's more than likely around 33 years of age Which is a place of moving towards full adulthood and maturity So the festival is at hand And people are congregating verse 56 is he going to come to the feast Well under these conditions they think it's unwise for him to show up But he does In chapter 12 we're going to read these words In verse 27 Now my soul is troubled and what shall I say father saved me from this hour But for this purpose I came to this hour Was it going to show up Absolutely Was he afraid of being put to death? No Why wasn't he afraid because that's why he came All the way back when you look at john the baptist Seeing jesus and what did he say when you saw him you hold the lamb of god Who takes away the sin of the world? Jesus knew that he was born To die He didn't avoid it But as a matter of fact he longed for it He longed for it His desire was to embrace the will of his father And his desire this is beyond me his desire was to ransom us He came for the purpose of dying He didn't come for the purpose of living But he came for the purpose of dying I had a friend of mine when I was going to biola many years ago now Who told me that he believed That part of jesus's agony in the garden Was because he enjoyed being alive so much That he just didn't want to die I never believed that it didn't believe it when I was 23. I don't believe it now Because jesus said I have a baptism to be baptized with and how I am constrained until it be accomplished It was his pleasure to lay his life down on the cross for us He despised the shame and he embraced the cross So that in his shedding of his blood and giving of his life He was able to make many of us free in him Because his blood that was poured out was adequate to wash and cleanse us from all of our sin And he came for that purpose And I don't ever want to take it for granted at one time I did as a young man I was angry at god and I went and spoke to one of my bible professors there at biola And I shared some things with them about how mad I was at god because I shared this just recently I used to get mad at god kind of often And so I was angry at god because I thought he had it in for me And uh, and I spoke to him about that And uh, and my my friend my my professor friend said to me No, he said David, um Do you need to understand that that Jesus was put to death as an innocent man and pain happens to us too And he died on a cross for you. And I still remember saying to professor more dr. Moore I still remember saying to him.  I was immature. I was wrong That wasn't his job That wasn't his job. That was his choice And it was his choice Because he wanted to please his father Because he was the perfect sacrifice And in doing so he brought many people to himself and presented them to his father He died in our place so he was deeply desirous of embracing a cross And you and I know that the nails did not keep him on that cross What kept him was submission to his father And love for us That's why he died on the cross That's why he took upon himself human flesh Then he might dwell amongst us That we would be able to see what the glory of god is all about Because the glory of god is revealed in jesus christ and his sacrifice for us And the love that he shows us guys i never forget this The love that he shows us transcends all loves that we understand We we use different words in the greek different words are used for the word love you have the word phileo The word phileo is where you get the word friendship You have the word eros the word eros speaks of sexual love physical love You have the word Storje which is a word that speaks of a lesser kind of love a kind of a friendship affection But you also have the word agape And the agape is what god has for you God so agape this world it's the sacrificial love Where god jesus laid down his life voluntarily no man takes my life for me jesus said i lay it down And i pick it up again i have authority from my father to do this So jesus embraced a cross for you Was it easy of course not Of course not The pain that he went through was it something easy no It was an agony that none of us would ever want to go through Why did he do it because when he did it he did it out of obedience to his father and out of love for us And when he died on that cross He won for us salvation When he rose on the third day He gave to us an awareness that life conquers death When he ascended he sent the holy spirit to dwell within us to empower us by his spirit And enable us to live victorious lives Because in the flesh we can't please him but by the power of his spirit All things are possible and we learn those things and the things at one time that we were in bondage to In christ we can conquer because in jesus christ we are more than conquerors And we have the ability to overcome because we are Overcomers in him and he doesn't leave us alone in the midst of our struggles Our sadness our sorrows our pains our senses of rejection We have a wounded healer who understands us that we can take our hearts to and say god I feel so wounded. I feel so pain. I feel so much software And he says and I understand but I am your comforter And I will bring you to the other side just hold fast and you'll see my powerful hand to deliver See, that's the god that we serve. So will he come to the festival absolutely?


Hi and welcome to the session. Let us discuss the following question. The question says in figure 9.29, this is the figure 9.29. Area of triangle DRC is equal to area of triangle DPC and area of triangle BDP is equal to area of triangle ARC. Show that both the quadrilaterals A, P, C, D and D, C, P, R are trapezius. Let us now begin with the solution. We are given that area of triangle DPC is equal to area of triangle DRC and area of triangle BDP is equal to area of triangle ARC. Let us name this as equation number 1 and this as 2. On subtracting we get area of triangle BDP minus area of triangle DPC is equal to area of triangle ARC minus area of triangle DRC. Now, triangle BDP minus triangle DPC is equal to triangle BCT, right? So, area of triangle BDP minus area of triangle DPC is equal to area of triangle BCT. C minus triangle DRC is equal to triangle ACD. So, this means area of triangle ARC minus area of triangle DRC is equal to area of triangle equation as equation number 3. Now, since the BCD, triangle BCD and ACD are, from 3 we have concluded that area of triangle BCD is equal to area of triangle ACD. So, BCD triangle ACD lie between the same parallels AB and DC.3 given in your book which stable areas lie between the same parallel. It is parallel to DC. Therefore, BCD is a trapezium. Trapezium exactly its sides, we have proved that ABCD is a trapezium. The quadrilateral DCPR is a trapezium. Thus, that area of triangle DRC is equal to area of triangle DPC. Now, consider triangle DRC and DPC DRC lie between DC and RP. So, RP therefore DR is a trapezium exactly one way is a trapezium.


Biden is not a socialist.  And Josh Hawley is just as much a socialist as Biden is. And certainly Trump was arguably even more socialist than Biden. So they're all socialist in a sense that they're all, they're all statists. But you see, this is the problem. I just, let's draw a line for a second. Words have meaning. Words have meaning. And it doesn't help when we make the meaning of those words ambiguous. It actually makes communication more difficult. So people call Democrats communists. Well, some of them at the very, very far left are. But communism means something. It means the dictatorship of the proletariat. It means the dictatorship. It means subjugating all of us to the whim of a leader. It probably means the murder of hundreds of thousands, if not more people. Because you need to cleanse in order to do communism properly. It means a real commitment to egalitarianism. And it has all theory associated with it in terms of how government it means. It means immediately the nationalization of all private property, all land, all productive property will be nationalized. That's what communism means. You nationalize everything, everything. I don't think there's anybody. I mean, there's some people. But there are very, very few people affiliated with the Democratic Party who are communists in that sense. I know communists who really want to nationalize all property. Keel says Biden will increase taxes to 40%. Whose taxes? The very wealthy? How much they pay now? Anybody know how much the very wealthy pay now? I mean, very wealthy means over 250,000 if you're an individual and I think it's 400,000 or something like that as a couple. What is the top marginal tax rate today in America? No, on a federal level, not on a state level. Federal level, purely federal level. What is it? Because 40% sounds scary. But if you realize that right now it's 37. something, then he wants to increase by an additional 2%, 3%? Okay. Is that making him a communist or socialist? No, it's more than 34. It's 37. And under Obama, what was it? Under Bush and Obama. I think under Obama it was 39. And if you include Social Security in Medicare, Medicare is 2.7%. So 37% plus 2.7, you're already at 40%. So today the top marginal tax rate is already over 40%. Biden will not tax capital gains at 40%. I am willing to bet anything you want on the fact that Biden will not increase capital gains taxes to 40%. And the reason is simple. I mean, who vote, who are the funders of Biden? Who are the funders of the Democratic Party? It's, you know, Wall Street. A lot of trust fund babies who live off of capital gains. Silicon Valley.  Not Biden will torpedo his own economy. There's no question, but he'll torpedo it not by raising taxes, he'll torpedo it by spending government money with no end. But even there, I think that some Democrats will bulk and it'll be very difficult to pass that in the Senate even to get 50 votes in the Senate for massive spending and massive tax cuts. It's just, it's not going to happen. There's not going to be that much done. The far left, yeah, I mean, there are people in the far left that nationalize the media. There are people in the far left that you can categorize as communists just as there are people in the far right that you can categorize as Nazis. But they have no real influence. So they're not communists. Now, are they socialists? Well, some of them are. But even the ones who call themselves socialists, are they really socialists? Now first, if Denmark is an example of socialism, then that's not socialism. If what they want is to turn American to Denmark in some ways we'd be better off, in some ways worse off, but in some ways better off. Socialism means something. Socialism is a system by which the means of production are owned by the state. There is no socialist government today, even in Europe. Never mind the Democrats in the United States. Very few Democratic senators want to literally own the means of production. Indeed, what everybody is is not a socialist. What everybody is in Washington D.C. almost everybody is a kind of a fascist. They all want to keep the means of production in supposedly private hands, but they want to regulate it and control it. They want the state to run it. That's what Trump wanted. That's what Obama wanted. I mean, Obamacare is that. You have insurance companies. You have private doctors. You have private hospitals. But not really. They're all doing the government's bidding. They're all controlled by the government. And in that sense, all of that is fascism more than anything else. Yes, some in the Democratic Party want single-payer healthcare. But the U.K. has single-payer healthcare. It's terrible, by the way. But they're not socialists. I mean, even the Conservative Party in England advocates for single-payer. So let's use words accurately. And I think the better way to call all of these people is statists. Some of them are drifting towards socialism or drifting towards fascism. And yes, I know all of these are forms of statism and there's a sense in which socialism is a word that captures all of them. But I think you lose the essence when you lump them all together and call them all socialism. When people hear socialism, I think owning them means a production. Nobody is advocating for that. Even Biden's not advocating for nationalizing industry in the United States. So they're all statists. And when it comes to economics, they're all fascists. That's what they are. And that's what's going to continue. And that's where we are. The next four years are going to be tough because I think the economy, there's no such thing really as democratic socialism and even democratic socialism. I'll give you an example of a real democratic socialism. I think it was 1980, maybe 81. You can correct me. I don't remember the exact date. Mitterrand. You remember Mitterrand was elected president of France. And Mitterrand was a democratic socialist. A real one. So what did he do? What was the first thing that Mitterrand did as a democratic socialist? He nationalized the banks. I mean literally. He nationalized the banks. He took the banks and made them state run and found. Now that's what a democratic socialist is.  Now it turned out very badly for Mitterrand. He was going against the tide of history. This is the 1980s. Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan were overseeing economies that were booming and France sunk like a rock. The nationalization of the banking industry was a complete and utter disaster. Complete and utter disaster. And he had to privatize the banks. And he landed up being a president that drifted towards embracing the private sector because that's the only way he could survive and that's the only way he could compete. So democratic socialism is the... Socialists get elected democratically. But in most western countries they don't survive. They haven't survived. Sweden, Norway, Denmark are not socialist. Whether you call them social democracy or democratic socialism doesn't matter. They're not socialist. They're statists. They redistribute a lot of wealth but they also allow for private enterprise, private property and they regulate less than the United States. Wearing this no wonder it's super hot. Yes, Mitterrand was 1981 to 1995. Thank you. And he was almost kicked out very early on because the nationalization of banks went so badly. But he won re-election because he shifted. And he privatized and he moved towards more market-oriented solutions. I'm not trying to convince you that more Nazis than all communists funny that I never said any of that. All I said was that the fall left has their communists and the fall right has their Nazis. I didn't make any implication in terms of numbers. I don't know what the numbers are. I don't know what the numbers are. I think there are a lot of wackos on the fall right even if we don't want to call them Nazis. There are kinds of forms of fascists and unthinking fascists on the fall right that I think are, you know, significant numbers. You know, who are not Nazis but there's also not that many actual communists. I actually think the real problem on the left is not communism. The real problem on the left, I've said this many, many times, is nihilism. I think most of the fall left is nihilists. It's not that they're trying to establish a dictatorship of the parliament. It's they're just trying to establish chaos, destruction for the sake of chaos and destruction. They're trying to tear everything down for the sake of tearing everything down. I think we're in for bad economic times that the Biden administration will try to solve by printing more money. I would not be surprised at all if the next four years we see stagflation, a stagnant economy with real inflation. And I mean here inflation by price inflation. We've already got inflation in terms of inflating the money supply. I really think that we are, as an economy, we're going to struggle to create jobs. We're going to struggle to get people, you know, to get people to be successful in the middle class. But that's where we are today. And that's what we're heading towards. We're heading towards greater strife, greater problems, greater challenges. And, you know, Biden claims unity is the answer, but unity is not the answer. You're not going to unite the left and the right, Angela Wright, but wackos on the far left have cultural power. I know that. Why is this, why are you saying this as if I don't understand it, as if this is some new revelation you're going to make? I know, I know that wackos on the left have cultural power. Wackos on the right have cultural power as well. You saw that in 78 million people voting for Trump. You saw that in January 6th. You see that everywhere. You see, you know, wackos of the right influence in the culture, not through the cultural institutions of universities and things like that, but through other mechanisms. Culture is not just what comes down in the universities, otherwise we'd all be nihilists and communists now. We're not. But the far left has far more cultural power. There's no question about that. Nobody's questioning that. I've attacked their various ideologies over and over and over again over the last 20 years as a public figure. And I will continue to do so. They're nuts. They're crazy.  Their ideology is evil. They're manifestations of evil. It's all evil stuff. That doesn't change the fact that they are evil bad people on the right. Now, I know you want all the focus to be on the left. You're not going to get that from me. You're going to get me pointing out bad stuff wherever it happens to be, attacking policies and philosophies and ideologies that are bad wherever they happen to be on your fictitious political map of left and right. Evil is evil is evil. Bad stuff is bad stuff is bad stuff. I don't care where it comes from. It needs to be called out. What we need today, what I called a new intellectual, would be any man or woman who is willing to think. Meaning any man or woman who knows that man's life must be guided by reason, by the intellect, not by feelings, wishes, whims or mystic revelations. Any man or woman who values his life and who does not want to give in to today's cult of despair, cynicism and impotence and does not intend to give up the world to the dark ages and to the role of the collectivist brought.

What's going on guys? It's your boy DPJ here today with another Destiny video and today I want to talk about weapon changes coming to Destiny with the December patch. Now from day one in the Destiny world, playing that PvP I truly enjoyed. That then also rifles were the both two weapons. Weapons like the vanquisher, the shallow price, the groomed citizen, the sewers regime. These weapons absolutely dominated PvP. Bungie noticed this and to be honest in my opinion screwed things up. The patch day dropped ruined auto rifles and I believe it was Bungie's intent to get other people to branch out and use different weapons to balance it out. But by trying to balance out PvP, PvP actually went too crap for me where people used three sorts of weapons, post rifles, hand cannons and shotguns. Although there was more of a mix up with weapons in that PvP. Most of you are like me who believe PvP ain't been the same since the sewers regime era would tell you PvP has gotten worse and worse. Bungie saw this change and acted upon it with the taking king patch where shotguns, pulse rifles and hand cannons all received a nerf of some kind while auto rifles received a slight buff. When I read the patch notes to this update I actually got really excited for PvP post taking king. When the taking king did eventually hit PvP was the first thing I tried out and although I could feel a definite improvement in PvP while using auto rifles they still in my opinion fell short of what pulse rifles offered. Pulse rifles are still the dominant go-to weapon in PvP they really are so I'm really excited to see changes are yet again in band for our PvP arsenal. The latest weekly update states base changes that will be put in place in that December patch so let's take a look at what's changing and let's start with auto rifles. This is what Bungie have said about auto rifles and why they are changing. The 2.0 update brought auto rifles back into the competitive PvP spaces as an option however we find they are still occasionally losing to pulse rifles at close range based on that data. Autos are coming up a tiny bit to help them fulfill their intended role. Bungie's goals on auto rifles are as follows. Auto rifles are optimal at close to medium range. Auto rifles can effectively compete against pulse rifles in PvP. The changes come to auto rifles are as follows. Small increase in base damage. Low rate of high auto rifles such as the source regime and answering chord get a 3% base damage increase. Medium rate of fire auto rifles such as the Xalo Supercell get a 7% base damage increase and high rate of fire auto rifles such as the Necrocasm get a 4% base damage increase. So the changes to auto rifles look promising and for sure it's heading in my opinion in the right direction and for me this is most important. I'd love for PvP and auto rifles to be at that level they first were but with the competitive aspects thrown in offered by pulse rifles and hand cannons. We can see on screen now changes coming to pulse rifles and the main change being that base damage getting a nerf although some may not agree with the change I think it's definitely needed. Low, medium and high rate of fire pulse rifles will be getting around a 8 to 9% damage decrease which when worked out it leads me to believe it will take an extra burst to kill a fully healthed guardian. The biggest change to a weapon class though is shotguns and in my opinion it will affect PvP the most. Shotguns have run rampant in PvP for far too long and they do have their own type of player now who will not like what's happening to them. On screen now we can see the changes coming to shotguns and they are pretty apparent. Changes coming are reduced starting damage falloff to match melee lunge ranges, low range stat falloff starts as standard melee lunge, high range stat falloff starts at blink strike lunge, final damage falloff distance extends 0.5 meters longer for a smoother drop, slow ready stall times for all shotguns, additional recoil across the entire stability stat range, lower reload speed across the entire reload stat range, slower time to aim down sights for all shotguns, slower base movement speed when shotguns are the active weapon, walk, run and aim down sights sprint is unaffected, add two frames delay when firing out of sprint and increase base damage against AI combatants to 1.6 times was 1.5 so for sure shotguns have been affected the most during the process of this patch but do you guys think it's a good thing? Let me know your opinion down below in that comment section I definitely think it is for that all-round PvP experience. Now there are changes coming across the entire board which you can see via the updates which is linked at the top of that video description if you guys want to see if your favorite class of weapons has been affected in a positive or negative way but guys let me know your opinion on the changes coming to your PvP with the December patch. Me personally I cannot wait for it. Hope you guys enjoyed the video do drop a like I'd appreciate the support subscribe for daily destiny and I'll catch you guys on the next one peace out till next time peace!

DL MOOC is a free, nine-week-long, online professional learning course for educators to learn about how deeper learning can be put into practice in their classrooms. We'll be looking at topics like academic mindsets, student work, internships, personalized learning, assessment, and how all this fits into the Common Core. I think what's really nice about where we are in education right now is I'm really excited personally about the Common Core because it does emphasize this deeper learning and kind of more open, rich tasks, different kinds of assessments, and those are the kinds of things that we think will foster these mindsets. And I also think it makes it easier for schools to agree that developing these adaptive academic mindsets should be a priority because the Common Core is calling for these more rigorous standards, and if students aren't prepared to deal with challenge, they're not going to get the benefits of deeper learning that we know happen when students are challenged. We serve hundreds of schools every year who are doing this work, and doing this work will help students in the current policy context and in future policy context. It does take time and investment of time of teachers to learn it and to align around what practices to use on a daily basis. So it's not easy, it takes effort, but it's definitely doable. But I agree that even at a higher level, even under a Common Core context, schools are not being asked to develop learners. They're not being asked to develop learning skills and dispositions in kids. They're being asked to teach kids things. You know, in the past it was more facts or procedures. Now it's critical thinking skills, which are important. All of that is important, but it's still not, you know, learning to learn and taking ownership over their learning. But that is work that we have to do in order to succeed in teaching kids all those things and in preparing them for their future. So I think it's something we have to do. It's not easy, but it is definitely doable. We'll be starting this course on January 20th, and participation is adaptable to your personal schedule. Join us by signing up at dlmook.deeper-learning.org.


Welcome to another episode of GUI Challenges, where I build interfaces my way, and then I challenge you to do it your way, because with our creative minds combined, we're going to find multiple ways to solve these interfaces and expand the diversity of our skills. Let me show you how I built it today in this GUI Challenge on dialogue elements. In today's GUI Challenge, we're building a dialogue and I've built a dialogue that has this mega dialogue state or a mini dialogue state. So it has a varying layout and they all have positioning rules and it works out really nice for sort of doing this inline little confirmation where I can delete something or I can present a nice large form, take some user input and upload an image into it. Look at that. So both of them accepting user input. Some of them performing actions and some of them resulting in data. Before we explore my mini and mega dialogues in the debugging corner, I want to go over the default built-in behavior of a dialogue. And so here's a dialogue it's currently shown. Let me go ahead and hit OK to hide it. This is my button that invokes the dialogue. So I will open the dialogue and I will close the dialogue. I can open the dialogue and hit escape and close it. I cannot hit off of the dialogue to close it. So that'll be a feature that we'll be adding. I'll go ahead and close this with the escape key. If I invoke the open with the keyboard, we can see our focus. So this is that focus visible state. It's given to the first interactive element of a dialogue. In this case, it's a button that's inside of a form of type method dialogue. And when I click it, it will submit the form and close the dialogue. So that's some HTML spect interactivity there. The other thing that's interesting to note is when I close it with the keyboard, my focus is restored to the place that the opening command came from. And that's normally a lot of work to do inside of JavaScript is kind of keeping track where you were and where you're going. And the dialogue element does a lot of that for us. In fact, too, if I open it up, the document is pretty much set to inert. I can't interact with the rest of the document right now. It's essentially frozen, awaiting user interaction inside of this dialogue. And once the dialogue is closed, I can now interact with the document again. So those are some really nice accessibility features we get for free. And with a little bit of CSS, we can even make this thing light and dark. So I've already done that with the color scheme property, but this is the default dialogue in the light theme. And if you add the color scheme property, you're opting into the browser's supplied light and dark styles. And so we'll get a dark dialogue here and it looks really nice. For the markup of a dialogue, let's briefly go over that over here. We've got a dialogue element with an idea of dialogue. Inside of there, we have a form with the method of dialogue and some content and a button. These are the essentials of a dialogue. And the dialogues that I built continue to build upon these essentials, where a form is the direct child of the dialogue element. And inside of here, I sort of build up the presentation tier that I expect of a modal dialogue. Okay, and if we scroll down, JavaScript is required to show the modal. We have this button on click dialogue. This is referencing the ID above.showModal, and that will show our modal. So you have to open it with JavaScript, but you can close it without JavaScript. But I've got the escape key as a way to do it. I can submit the form. I can also call the close function on the modal itself. Now there was a couple other things that were kind of frustrating to me. So one was no light dismiss where you can kind of click off of the element. Another one was when the dialogue is open, you can still scroll the background page. So if you have like a scrollable page and you invoke the dialogue, you can still scroll the page. I thought that was kind of annoying. And there was only close events, not open events. And I thought that was kind of strange. So in the dialogue element that I build, I add those events. In fact, I add animation to mine too, which notice this has no animation. It's also not even animatable. You can animate it when it gets added to the DOM as a presentation style, but you can't animate it out. And that's because the browser is just managing the display property for you, display block or display none. And that doesn't really give you very many good hooks for animation. And so I go ahead and I change that, which ends up being quite a bit of work. So if you want to animate the dialogue element, stay tuned, because I'll tell you all the different steps that you need so that you can continue getting the rich accessible functionality, as well as the rich presentation tier. So I think that's a pretty good overview of the dialogue element itself. Let's head over to the debugging corner and check out the mini and mega dialogues that I made. What do you think? Do the debugging corner, simulator, simulator, Safari actual install, Chrome install, Firefox install, and an Android emulator with Chrome on it. And we have browser sync running the server. So any clicks will get sent to the other connected devices. And it looks really cool. It allows me to test out my color and my layout and my animations. All with one click across all these different viewports. I love it. So let's first talk about color. You can see that there's a light theme and a dark theme. We're also looking at the mini dialogue. Here's the mega dialogue. So the mega dialogue has a title and a close button on it, while the mini dialogue has no title. It just has the content area and then the footer of menu buttons. But if we look at this one again, you notice there's a blur on the background here of the mega dialogue. And there's not in the mini. The mini doesn't blur, but it does still have a backdrop that you can light dismiss. It positions itself as close to the invoking element as it can and tries to just be this little inline dialogue, whereas the other one is sort of like a block level dialogue. So you have these two different use cases, one that's asking for a little bit of user input, and one that's asking for a lot of user input. So that's the sort of mini versus mega, a couple of their differences. We've gone over their color, which will, I mean, really, we said they have a light and a dark theme. I achieved that though with open props. Open props gives me lots of adaptive colors out of the box. It has these things called surface colors, surface one, surface two. I think I only used two of them, right? So we have like surface one is this one and surface two is this one. And that was plenty for me to get the texture and the sort of layering that I wanted plus the shadows. Open props has awesome shadows and it gave me these buttons for free. So I didn't go styling buttons for my dialogue demo today. I just used some that were pre-built in open props. Okay, so a couple of the kind of layout differences other than the colors. The colors coming from open props. The layout differences, we see that the mini dialogue and desktop is trying to position itself really close to the where it came from, but on mobile, it does its best to find the sort of like vertical space of where the button came from, but it does its best to fit inside of the viewport. So we're going, it kind of looks like full width, which is like it's being centered. So it's not necessarily positioned, you know, horizontally over the element, but it is vertically positioned there. And we'll close out of this one, invoke the mega dialogue and the mega dialogue on desktop shows up in the center, just like you'd expect. But on mobile, it slides up from the bottom, just like an action sheet and its animation is even different. So if I close it, you can see that slides down and it slides up. Whereas on desktop, we slide up and then we scale out. So just a couple of really cool kind of subtleties that I thought were really nice in the way that the layout was adapting and then the animations adapted. Another fun thing is the reduced motion. If I pop open the dev tools here, I got the rendering tab open, scroll on down to the prefers reduced motion. I'll reduce the motion, slide this back out just so that we can kind of see the effect here. And I'll hit the mega dialogue and you see it's just a fade in and a fade out. What's interesting too is if you watch the other ones, like over here in Firefox, it also fades out and fades in. The only difference is if motion is okay, I add some keyframes. So in CSS, I always transition the opacity, but if motion is okay inside of this media query, I can go add some keyframes and give it a little bit of a scale or I can give it a slide. And that was it. Some really kind of neat, small additions to the dialogue elements presentation, right? As it enters the stage and it exits the stage, I can have it sort of fit the appearance it has. Like I felt the dialogue sliding in felt like it was being gently presented to me. And then I get to push it away, right? I thought that was nice. So we're on mobile, I get to slide it up from the bottom and slide it back down from once it came with a little bit of a bounce there too. Do you see a little bit of a bounce, boink. Really subtle. I just thought it gives it that a little bit of a pop right as you push it. And it's like, oh, it's eager to escape or eager to leave. So anyway, I thought that was interesting. We covered light dismiss, right? We already get escape to close. And if I hit enter, I'm auto-focused on the cancel button. I hit enter again, I'll close back and I restore focus to where I was. So it looks and behaves exactly like the basic demo that we went over. But I had to do a lot of extra work to get us there. Like for example, when the dialogue is out, I'm no longer using display none, which means I have a dialogue element in the page. Well, here, let's just go see it. And it's essentially just visually hidden. So I'll pull this down, here's our dialogue. So, right, okay. So since we're in a more of a mobile viewport state, you can see that the mega dialogue is in the slide up from the bottom position, right? Here it is. When I slide it out, we can see that the element is still there. So it's the mini dialogue. It's sitting there, right there. But we have some styles on it that help it be not interactive. We have opacity zero, so it's visually hidden. We have pointer events, none. So the mouse can't interact with any of the buttons in there. And if we scroll in here, we can see that there's the inert attribute on there so that it's visually hidden and it's not interactive to keyboards or screen readers. We've essentially frozen it until it's presented. And we remove the inert attribute and we're able to give this thing interactivity again. Kind of cool. Again though, a little bit more works. We had to handhold some of these attributes and these styles because we wanted to animate. But I think in the end, it was totally worth it. So plus, in addition to the animations, if I scroll up here and hit escape to bring up the console, let me clear out the console and get it ready for a nice little demo and show you the events. So we have this opening event and we have an open event. So both of these fire appropriately. Opening is before the animations have happened and opened is once the animations have completed and the same thing happens for closed. So I can, it's closing and then it closed and I'm logging the data that was inside of that form so we can see what the user action was in this case. Look, it says closed. So if I open it up, I hit dismiss. Look, action is dismiss. Pop in here and hit confirm. Well, I don't want to hit confirm unless I upload an image. Let's see that. So avatar to confirm added a new avatar. I can see all the information. Here's the user image in the file. Really cool stuff. So I'm going to go over to Canary now and we're going to look at a couple more features. One of which is what happens when the dialogue gets really tall and what happens in different languages. All right, what should we do first? We've got to set it up a little bit to get it ready. So I'm going to, let's go with the scrolling scenario. Okay, so this is our dialogue element. We need to essentially make it way too tall. So I'm going to inspect in here, edit this as HTML and let's add a paragraph after the small p excellent. Okay, and I'm going to go grab just some lorem ipsum and drop that in. And then I'm going to copy and paste it lots of times. Paste, paste, paste. And then I hit command enter to submit and I didn't make enough of them. So let's duplicate, duplicate and duplicate until we extend beyond the viewport. There we go. Okay, look at scrolling. We'll add one more just for a good measure. Okay, so notice how it scrolls. So right, we're in a constrained viewport scenario. This would work the same as if it was on mobile. Our middle section is the scrollable area. This is the article of the content. So our header and our footer are still here and persistent but we're scrolling that inner area. So this could be for a really long, except our terms and conditions dialogue or this could be for form of some kind. I don't know, but this dialogue elements layout can handle it and it does that here by the dialogue has its sizing set to a max block size of 80 VH or 80 DVB. So that's dynamic viewport block or the physical equivalent which is supported now which is viewport height. Just kind of interesting. And that's where one of the constraints is coming from. The next one is here on the form. It's a grid layout itself. We'll go up to its grid layout. And let's just pin it over top so we can see it. Excellent. The header and the footer are both set to auto. So they're looking at their own content to see what their size is. And then that middle one is set to one FR which sort of sounds like an easygoing value. Like, oh, just take up the fractional rest of the space. Like it's no big deal. But it ends up being a nice firm value for us to use. And since we also set max block size here again to be firm. So that means that this dialog won't extend beyond this height. So now it has a constraint on height. Come to the article which is being set as a flexible space also says its max block size is 100% overflow wise scroll. So now any constraints that happen get pushed into the article and the article can start to overflow. And then the article can become scrollable. And so that's how I made this vertical really, you know, like if this is a really long dialog be able to scroll was using grid and passing down a couple of constraints so that this new where and what was going to be scrollable. So that was cool feature number one I thought was to make it able to scroll if it was inside of like small or different viewports. And let's do one more thing here. Oh, we'll get rid of the grid. That was kind of cool looking though, nice. I'm going to refresh and I'm going to right click and translate to Japanese here up in the top right. And let's just open that mini dialog up and see what it looks like. Okay, but we're not done yet. So let's close that, go to HTML. We're going to change the writing mode to vertical right to left, just like if we were reading a manga book and look, I'll pop that open. And sure enough, we have our icon at the top. This is where reading starts, right? Yes, right to left vertical top to bottom, I think. So yeah, and we go down this direction we're reading our title says you sure you want it and we have a cancel and a confirm button. And I liked it, even though it's not my language everything is laid out and there's like color coding enough that I think I could figure out and it's kind of cool. This was an interesting one that cause input elements have a physical size to them they don't have a logical direction yet. And this is set to center like vertical centering.  So here I'll just upload another avatar, submit that and look at that we get our nice animation as it comes in. So cool, right? We have handling of really tall layouts we have international layouts we've got light dismiss we have all these extra events being fired all of this stuff comes together for us to be able to build a really nice dynamic dialogue system of just different types of dialogues, right? I love this little inline one I thought that turned out really cool having a nice mega one is also really interesting that we just I just keep adding this stuff all day this is really fun. And this was all just to prove out the demo of like what a dialogue could be like or what you might use it for. So this goes beyond just styling it and customizing it but also how would you build this into a single page application? So go check out all the code on GitHub it's all open source. This video today was almost all about show and not about tell and the article is all about tell it has all the little details to help you get started and master the dialogue element and deliver one into your application with confidence. So thanks for watching this GUI challenge y'all I hope to see you on GitHub making submissions about your dialogues and I'll see you in the next GUI challenge. Take it easy.


Attention five points residents. This is a community notification of a new sexually violent predator in your area. Please stay tuned to the following short program for more information. Hi I'm technician Ron Hackett with the Denver Police Department. The sex offender registration and compliance unit at DPD is responsible for the registration monitoring and tracking of all registered sex offenders and sexually violent predators who live in the city and county of Denver. Here's a brief history of sex offender legislation in Colorado. Our state laws trickle down from federal government mandates. In 1994 we had the Jacob Wetterling Act which mandated that states would establish a sex offender list. Megan's law of 1996 said that the public would have access to those sex offender registration lists. The Pam Litchner Act of 1996 stated that some offenders might have to have lifetime registrations and the Adam Walsh Act of 2006 unified sex offender laws across a country. In Colorado the legislature has determined that sexually violent predators by definition pose a higher risk to the community at large and therefore mandated that upon their release from the Department of Corrections the community must be notified. Sex offender notification in Colorado happens in two ways. The first is passive and ongoing through the sex offender registration process which is a list maintained by local police departments. The second way is active via community notification for those offenders determined to be sexually violent predators by the courts or by the parole board. Most sex offenders in Colorado are supervised by the criminal justice system in our communities. Most sex offenders engage in crossover behavior which means they may have been arrested for one type of crime but be apt to commit another.  There is no typical sex offender but all tend to be deceptive, manipulative, and secretive. 80 to 93 percent of sex offenses are committed by someone known to the victim. Sexual deviancy begins in mid to late adolescence. Sex offenses are not impulsive.  The community has a vested interest in helping offenders to be successfully managed in the community. Sex offenders have the same need for housing and employment as any other citizen. Any citizen who uses sex offender information to harass, threaten, or intimidate an offender will be subject to criminal prosecution. There are approximately 16,500 registered sex offenders in the state of Colorado. About 65 percent of convicted sex offenders are placed in the community on probation. The remainder are in the Department of Corrections or Community Corrections. Offenders may be caught for one type of offense but be at a high risk to commit another type. Crime of conviction is only one indicator of risk.  The offender's residence must be verified quarterly by the Denver Police Department. The full sex offender registration list is available by calling the Denver Police Department Identification Bureau at<PHONE_NUMBER>. Convicted felons and those with multiple convictions are posted online at denvergov.org slash police.   Now, here's a look at the newest sexually violent predator living in Denver.

If you've got a prison record, if you've been out on the streets, that's almost a prerequisite to come into our programming, and who does that? I'm Marina Dewey with Up Rocks. From the mosh pit to the kitchen, this punk rocker went from protesting our broken social system to trying to fix it. We started a program called Empower LA, which is a job training program for young men and women aging out of foster care, older women home from prison. LA Kitchen is a charitable organization. Now it gets donated food. The donated food is used to train men and women in the job training program who in turn manage and guide volunteers. I just wanted to not only feed people a better meal, but I wanted to lift people up and show that they had a skill. There's people out there who need a role to play to have a gift, something to offer. Anybody that has a criminal record believe that they cannot be employed a lot of times you can. 76% of former inmates say that it is nearly impossible to find work after being released. But now we have programs that help people like me. I was on drugs, drugs league, to crime, crime leads to jail. It was very difficult looking for work. I tried and tried. I came to the conclusion that I was not horrible. A great nine profit doesn't try to fix the problem, it reveals the power of community to solve the problem work and side by side. Reese is one of the first graduates from the Empower Program and now think about it. She guides every volunteer that comes through and virtually every student. So she's kind of like our North Star. Me and my coworkers were happy with what we're doing for people. We just had a student that worked the Academy Awards. I mean, it can't get better than that. You know, we feed people great meals, we give people great jobs and we make money while we do it. I mean, what's not to like? LA Kitchen is always open. If you have a role here, we want you here. Get on down.
