00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.660
 He is risen.

00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:07.860
 All right, by show of hands, who woke up and found an Easter basket with their name on it?

00:00:08.179 --> 00:00:09.140
 Show of hands.

00:00:10.120 --> 00:00:10.700
 All right.

00:00:11.900 --> 00:00:13.120
 Who had candy?

00:00:13.620 --> 00:00:14.679
 Candy in that vest?

00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:15.780
 That's what I'm talking about.

00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:23.559
 You know, yesterday, the Kenosha News had an article on the Easter egg hunt Library Square yesterday.

00:00:23.660 --> 00:00:24.500
 And I was here preparing.

00:00:24.620 --> 00:00:25.560
 I saw the whole thing.

00:00:25.560 --> 00:00:26.480
 It was a mob.

00:00:27.660 --> 00:00:29.660
 I guess there was a thousand participants.

00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:32.399
 It was a mob.

00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:42.659
 But one thing I noticed as I was peeking out the window, every little kid had their own basket.

00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:48.260
 And they were putting all the eggs they could in their basket.

00:00:49.100 --> 00:00:53.640
 All of their eggs were in one basket.

00:00:53.640 --> 00:01:07.760
 If you're a believer here this morning, if you're a Christian, or if you're thinking about becoming a Christian, you've got to realize that Christians put all of their eggs in one basket.

00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:12.200
 This is amazing.

00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:21.939
 As Christians, we base our entire lives on this one historic claim.

00:01:21.939 --> 00:01:27.700
 That Jesus Christ was raised bodily from the dead.

00:01:28.659 --> 00:01:30.340
 That's what we base our lives on.

00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:31.920
 The tomb is empty.

00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:32.640
 He's alive.

00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:41.480
 The amazing claim of the Christian faith is not just that the Messiah was crucified for sinners.

00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:46.519
 The amazing claim is that He was raised from the dead and that He's alive today.

00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:48.379
 He is risen.

00:01:48.379 --> 00:01:55.579
 And so this morning, I want to help you to see this historic claim of the Christian faith that Jesus is alive.

00:01:57.619 --> 00:01:59.459
 He's reigning and He's going to return.

00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:01.439
 He's alive.

00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:07.399
 So if you're new to this whole Christianity thing, or maybe you've been away for a while and you're coming back,

00:02:08.460 --> 00:02:11.180
 you've got to understand that Christians are people of the book.

00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:14.079
 We live under the book.

00:02:14.659 --> 00:02:16.879
 We believe this book to be God's Word.

00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:19.300
 And so we submit to it.

00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:20.219
 We trust it.

00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:26.379
 The New Testament starts with four books of the Bible.

00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:28.240
 They're called Gospels.

00:02:28.659 --> 00:02:30.740
 Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

00:02:30.740 --> 00:02:39.840
 And as Christians, we believe that they're trustworthy historical accounts of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.

00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:51.980
 So if you're new to the Christian faith, what you need to understand is that the Gospels are basically historical biographies of the person of Jesus of Nazareth.

00:02:53.939 --> 00:02:56.939
 Now, each Gospel is written for a particular audience.

00:02:56.939 --> 00:03:03.159
 And so each Gospel has its own kind of style and flavor and emphasis.

00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:15.219
 It's like four members of a barbershop quartet singing the same Gospel story, all in perfect harmony.

00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:19.879
 And each Gospel closes with the same thing.

00:03:20.259 --> 00:03:21.000
 He is risen.

00:03:21.340 --> 00:03:22.060
 He is risen.

00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:23.000
 He is risen.

00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:23.939
 He is risen.

00:03:23.939 --> 00:03:24.819
 He is risen.

00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:31.319
 This morning, I want to turn to the book of Matthew.

00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:34.020
 As a church, we've been camping out in the book of Matthew.

00:03:34.219 --> 00:03:35.939
 We've been looking at the Sermon on the Mountain.

00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:39.759
 We're skipping ahead today to the end of the Gospel of Matthew.

00:03:40.900 --> 00:03:45.680
 I want to kind of walk you through the days leading up to Jesus' resurrection.

00:03:45.900 --> 00:03:48.000
 And I want to do it in sports center fashion.

00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:49.060
 Beep, beep, beep.

00:03:49.460 --> 00:03:50.079
 Beep, beep, beep.

00:03:50.079 --> 00:03:50.159
 Beep.

00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:54.159
 I want to hit the highlights.

00:03:56.000 --> 00:04:00.479
 And so we're going to hit the highlights from the Sunday before.

00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:02.219
 We'll hit Thursday, Friday.

00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:05.460
 We'll kind of wait through Saturday.

00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:08.000
 And then Sunday hits.

00:04:09.139 --> 00:04:09.699
 Beep, beep, beep.

00:04:10.500 --> 00:04:11.319
 Beep, beep, beep.

00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:13.659
 The greatest highlight ever.

00:04:13.659 --> 00:04:24.199
 In Matthew 21, the Sunday before the resurrection.

00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:26.319
 It's known as Palm Sunday.

00:04:27.259 --> 00:04:30.379
 Jesus on a donkey enters into Jerusalem.

00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:34.079
 And His disciples are laying cloaks down.

00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:35.899
 They're putting palm leaves down.

00:04:35.899 --> 00:04:43.279
 And as He's riding this humble donkey into Jerusalem, His peeps are there saying things like,

00:04:43.939 --> 00:04:46.779
 Hosanna to the Son of David.

00:04:46.939 --> 00:04:49.739
 Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.

00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:51.579
 Hosanna in the highest.

00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:53.599
 Which means, God saves.

00:04:53.919 --> 00:04:55.099
 Salvation has come.

00:04:55.100 --> 00:05:03.879
 So Jesus enters Jerusalem the Sunday before He's crucified.

00:05:05.020 --> 00:05:08.580
 He goes into Jerusalem being praised.

00:05:11.540 --> 00:05:14.000
 People are saying, you're the Messiah.

00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:23.480
 You're the long-awaited Christ, the Son of David, who's come to Jerusalem to deliver His people from oppression.

00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:31.920
 And so the mindset of the time, the Jews in Jerusalem, they were, Jerusalem was occupied by Rome.

00:05:32.740 --> 00:05:37.319
 And so if you're a Jew living in Jerusalem and you saw Jesus coming in, you're thinking, is He the Messiah?

00:05:37.520 --> 00:05:38.200
 I hope so.

00:05:38.379 --> 00:05:40.960
 I hope He delivers us from the oppression of Rome.

00:05:44.379 --> 00:05:49.640
 Jerusalem was the city of David, the center of Jewish political and religious activity.

00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:57.560
 And Jerusalem was home to the Jewish temple where Jews believed God dwelt in their midst.

00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:04.120
 And so that Sunday, Jesus did come to Jerusalem on a donkey.

00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:06.919
 And He did come as the Messiah.

00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:08.639
 He was the promised one.

00:06:08.740 --> 00:06:12.539
 The long-awaited king, descendant of David.

00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:12.979
 It's true.

00:06:13.099 --> 00:06:14.579
 It was really Him.

00:06:14.579 --> 00:06:21.159
 He came to deliver His people, but in a most unexpected way.

00:06:25.339 --> 00:06:28.079
 His deliverance was not from the oppression of Rome.

00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:32.039
 He came to deliver people from the oppression of sin.

00:06:33.979 --> 00:06:38.839
 And His mighty act of deliverance was not an impressive flank from the south.

00:06:38.839 --> 00:06:48.119
 His mighty act of deliverance was Him laying down His own life on the cross.

00:06:51.599 --> 00:06:57.719
 Jesus entered Jerusalem to die on that Palm Sunday.

00:06:58.599 --> 00:06:59.139
 Beep, beep, beep.

00:07:00.099 --> 00:07:01.000
 Beep, beep, beep.

00:07:01.739 --> 00:07:02.620
 We move to Thursday.

00:07:02.620 --> 00:07:12.340
 Thursday of Holy Week was the day of preparing the Passover.

00:07:13.620 --> 00:07:19.759
 And after night fell, Jesus and His disciples observed the Passover.

00:07:21.139 --> 00:07:27.699
 It was a highly symbolic meal, recalling the time in Israel's ancient history

00:07:27.699 --> 00:07:30.860
 when God delivered His people from the oppression of Egypt.

00:07:30.939 --> 00:07:31.540
 Do you remember this?

00:07:31.540 --> 00:07:35.140
 If you've seen the Prince of Egypt, Disney, maybe a little bit.

00:07:37.200 --> 00:07:42.340
 What happened is that the people of God slaughtered lambs

00:07:42.340 --> 00:07:45.980
 and wiped the blood of the lamb over the doorways of their homes

00:07:45.980 --> 00:07:51.200
 so that the angel of death would pass over their homes.

00:07:52.960 --> 00:07:56.180
 The lamb's blood delivered God's people from death.

00:07:56.400 --> 00:07:57.280
 Does that ring a bell?

00:07:57.279 --> 00:08:05.779
 So, this particular Thursday, the night before Jesus was crucified,

00:08:06.039 --> 00:08:08.079
 Jesus is with His disciples.

00:08:09.179 --> 00:08:10.939
 And by the way, He tells them at this point,

00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:13.500
 one of you is going to betray me,

00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:17.279
 the night before Judas had for 30 pieces of silver.

00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:24.979
 Well, at this Passover meal, we see this in chapter 26, verses 26 and 27.

00:08:25.719 --> 00:08:31.679
 During the Passover meal, Jesus institutes what's called the Lord's Supper.

00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:37.440
 What He's doing is He's essentially saying this.

00:08:37.899 --> 00:08:39.039
 It's a Passover meal.

00:08:39.740 --> 00:08:42.100
 And He's saying this with all authority.

00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:48.419
 Hey, from here on out, the Passover meal, it's going to point to me

00:08:48.419 --> 00:08:52.279
 as the ultimate Passover lamb.

00:08:52.279 --> 00:09:00.240
 The ultimate and final sacrifice to deliver God's people from their sin.

00:09:02.980 --> 00:09:07.120
 That week before Jesus is crucified and raised, a lot goes on.

00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:11.559
 Jesus institutes the Lord's Supper.

00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:18.359
 And afterwards, His disciples sing a hymn.

00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:26.419
 He tells them at this point, hey, you guys are going to get scattered tonight because of me.

00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:29.399
 Peter, of course, says, not me.

00:09:29.639 --> 00:09:31.219
 No, I will never fall away.

00:09:34.019 --> 00:09:35.939
 I'm dramatic like Peter was dramatic.

00:09:35.940 --> 00:09:41.660
 But Jesus says, yeah, you will.

00:09:44.260 --> 00:09:46.740
 And He says something really interesting at this point.

00:09:48.020 --> 00:09:49.760
 It's in chapter 26, 32.

00:09:49.880 --> 00:09:51.700
 He's just told His disciples they're going to scatter.

00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:58.420
 Then He says this, but after I am raised up, I will go before you to Galilee.

00:09:59.580 --> 00:10:03.280
 This isn't the first time Jesus spoke of His resurrection in the Gospel of Matthew.

00:10:03.280 --> 00:10:05.180
 There are three other times before this.

00:10:05.940 --> 00:10:10.300
 So they leave.

00:10:10.680 --> 00:10:14.420
 They make their way to Gethsemane, which is at the foot of the Mount of Olives.

00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:19.740
 And it's in Gethsemane that Jesus prays and He wrestles.

00:10:20.400 --> 00:10:25.440
 Ask God for this cup to pass, but not His will, but God's will be done.

00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:31.740
 And it was in Gethsemane after Jesus prays, a mob shows up.

00:10:31.740 --> 00:10:34.840
 Led by Judas.

00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:38.500
 A crowd of Jewish leaders.

00:10:40.980 --> 00:10:41.460
 Armed.

00:10:43.259 --> 00:10:50.620
 I'm not sure if you remember this, but in order to indicate to the mob who it was they were to arrest,

00:10:50.620 --> 00:10:56.779
 Judas approaches Jesus and gives Him a kiss.

00:10:57.679 --> 00:10:58.679
 Betrayed with a kiss.

00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:04.340
 This is all according to God's plan, by the way.

00:11:05.860 --> 00:11:10.700
 It's fulfilled everything, everything that God anticipated and set out.

00:11:10.700 --> 00:11:20.200
 They arrest Jesus and it's here that Jesus is brought to the Sanhedrin to undergo His first trial.

00:11:21.560 --> 00:11:25.740
 Now, if the word Sanhedrin seems foreign to your ears, it should.

00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:27.720
 We don't use that every day.

00:11:27.860 --> 00:11:33.400
 And what it was, it was a group of Jewish authorities who would pass judgment on things.

00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:36.179
 A group of 70 men.

00:11:39.439 --> 00:11:47.240
 And so Jesus is brought before the Sanhedrin and they're looking to charge Him so that they could kill Him.

00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:53.740
 And so they actually got two of their own witnesses to try to make a case against Jesus,

00:11:54.199 --> 00:11:56.480
 but their stories didn't corroborate.

00:11:56.579 --> 00:11:59.019
 And so they're like, whatever, they can't trust them.

00:11:59.019 --> 00:12:02.679
 And so Caiaphas, the high priest, finally and directly says to Jesus,

00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:04.480
 are you the Christ?

00:12:06.100 --> 00:12:07.659
 Are you the Son of God?

00:12:10.460 --> 00:12:16.740
 And in 2664, Jesus says to Caiaphas, you have said so.

00:12:16.860 --> 00:12:17.860
 And that would have been enough.

00:12:18.199 --> 00:12:19.259
 He wouldn't have gotten charged.

00:12:19.379 --> 00:12:21.000
 But then he goes on and says this,

00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:29.919
 But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of power

00:12:29.919 --> 00:12:32.799
 and coming on the clouds of heaven.

00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:36.220
 He's quoting Daniel chapter 7.

00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:44.000
 A prophecy of the Son of Man who would be fully God to come.

00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:52.559
 Jesus is saying, I am.

00:12:55.440 --> 00:13:00.200
 In chapter 2665, Caiaphas, upon hearing these, tears his ropes.

00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:03.320
 Blasphemer!

00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:08.259
 Turns to the Sanhedrin.

00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:09.539
 What say you?

00:13:09.659 --> 00:13:10.299
 You've heard it.

00:13:11.820 --> 00:13:12.600
 You know what they say?

00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:14.420
 He deserves death.

00:13:15.860 --> 00:13:16.960
 He deserves death.

00:13:18.300 --> 00:13:21.080
 Following that, Peter denies him three times.

00:13:22.460 --> 00:13:22.940
 Beep, beep, beep.

00:13:24.259 --> 00:13:25.019
 Beep, beep.

00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:28.139
 Chapter 27.

00:13:28.800 --> 00:13:31.000
 We go from Thursday night to Friday morning.

00:13:31.620 --> 00:13:35.440
 And now Jesus experiences his second trial.

00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:39.920
 Before the Roman governor, Pilate.

00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:44.519
 You see, the Sanhedrin, though they had decided he deserved death,

00:13:44.839 --> 00:13:49.079
 they did not have the authority to actually put him to death.

00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:53.039
 Jerusalem was occupied by Rome.

00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:59.259
 And Rome, in order to maintain ultimate control over the area,

00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:06.059
 reserved judgment and death penalties for themselves.

00:14:06.059 --> 00:14:13.799
 That decision was Roman jurisdiction.

00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:18.639
 Which meant the Sanhedrin had to convince Pilate, the Roman governor,

00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:21.279
 to agree with him that Jesus needed to be crucified.

00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:29.299
 So they bring Jesus before Pilate in chapter 27, 11 through 14.

00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:32.120
 Pilate asks Jesus directly,

00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:34.720
 Are you the king of the Jews?

00:14:34.939 --> 00:14:35.559
 Jesus says,

00:14:35.899 --> 00:14:37.159
 You have said so.

00:14:38.179 --> 00:14:40.939
 Then he's accused again by the chief priests and elders,

00:14:41.199 --> 00:14:42.740
 to which Jesus says nothing,

00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:45.019
 like a lamb before its shearers.

00:14:45.019 --> 00:14:48.279
 And Pilate is amazed that he wouldn't say anything.

00:14:52.199 --> 00:14:55.919
 This point in chapter 27, we come across this custom.

00:14:56.899 --> 00:14:59.259
 And it was just strictly to get political points.

00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:04.240
 And so what would happen is that on this holiday,

00:15:04.500 --> 00:15:06.460
 when everyone came to Jerusalem,

00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:10.819
 Pilate would set a prisoner free

00:15:10.820 --> 00:15:14.320
 to just get political points.

00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:16.480
 Keep everybody happy.

00:15:19.040 --> 00:15:20.379
 And this time around,

00:15:20.500 --> 00:15:22.620
 Pilate goes to the crowds with two options.

00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:24.440
 He says,

00:15:24.500 --> 00:15:26.000
 I'm going to set somebody free.

00:15:26.860 --> 00:15:27.540
 You pick.

00:15:28.820 --> 00:15:29.940
 Either Barabbas,

00:15:30.340 --> 00:15:32.720
 who is a known robber and murderer,

00:15:33.140 --> 00:15:34.120
 an insurrectionist,

00:15:34.620 --> 00:15:36.060
 or Jesus,

00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:38.860
 this one you call the Christ.

00:15:38.860 --> 00:15:42.379
 Which one would you choose to release?

00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:44.720
 Pilate didn't realize this,

00:15:44.820 --> 00:15:47.000
 but the chief priests and elders

00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:49.200
 had already persuaded the crowds

00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:51.080
 to release Barabbas

00:15:51.080 --> 00:15:53.340
 in order to destroy Jesus.

00:15:53.539 --> 00:15:55.460
 You see that in chapter 27, verse 20.

00:15:58.259 --> 00:15:59.759
 So when Pilate asked the crowd,

00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:02.279
 Who do you want me to release to you?

00:16:02.379 --> 00:16:03.399
 The crowd says,

00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:05.240
 Barabbas!

00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:09.360
 To which Pilate asks,

00:16:09.560 --> 00:16:11.820
 So what should I do with Jesus, the Christ?

00:16:12.299 --> 00:16:13.500
 To which the crowd says,

00:16:14.180 --> 00:16:15.500
 Crucify Him!

00:16:17.340 --> 00:16:18.700
 Less than a week earlier.

00:16:19.779 --> 00:16:20.220
 Hosanna!

00:16:24.180 --> 00:16:25.600
 Pilate responds by saying,

00:16:25.659 --> 00:16:26.720
 What evil has He done?

00:16:27.720 --> 00:16:28.480
 The crowd,

00:16:29.139 --> 00:16:30.159
 Crucify Him!

00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:36.539
 In chapter 27, verse 24,

00:16:36.699 --> 00:16:39.539
 Pilate seeing that this is a no-win political situation.

00:16:41.860 --> 00:16:43.819
 He does that infamous act.

00:16:44.039 --> 00:16:44.779
 We all know it.

00:16:46.459 --> 00:16:47.019
 Water,

00:16:47.879 --> 00:16:49.419
 washing of his hands,

00:16:49.959 --> 00:16:50.600
 and says,

00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:52.379
 This man's blood

00:16:52.379 --> 00:16:53.839
 is not on my head.

00:16:55.159 --> 00:16:57.579
 I am innocent of this man's blood.

00:16:57.580 --> 00:17:00.740
 To which the crowd responds,

00:17:01.800 --> 00:17:04.160
 His blood be on us

00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:05.259
 and our children.

00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:06.920
 They had no idea

00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:08.920
 that this was the ultimate Passover lamb

00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:10.200
 whose blood would take away

00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:10.880
 the sin of the world.

00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:11.920
 They did not know that.

00:17:13.539 --> 00:17:14.519
 Tremendously ironic.

00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:19.220
 In 27, 26,

00:17:19.740 --> 00:17:21.519
 Pilate releases Barabbas

00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:24.579
 and sends Jesus over to Roman soldiers

00:17:24.579 --> 00:17:27.000
 to whom He would be scourged.

00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:30.559
 It's a device called

00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:31.639
 a cat of nine tails,

00:17:31.740 --> 00:17:33.679
 which is a whip with nine ends on it

00:17:33.679 --> 00:17:34.939
 was used for scourging.

00:17:36.299 --> 00:17:37.500
 And at the ends of the,

00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:39.559
 at the very tail ends of the tips

00:17:39.559 --> 00:17:41.500
 were pieces of bone and metal.

00:17:42.220 --> 00:17:42.779
 And so what you,

00:17:42.819 --> 00:17:43.559
 the technique was

00:17:43.559 --> 00:17:45.240
 you whip and you drag.

00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:47.220
 And you fillet people's backs.

00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:48.939
 It's brutal.

00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:50.359
 Jesus went,

00:17:50.480 --> 00:17:51.079
 was scourged,

00:17:51.220 --> 00:17:51.819
 spit upon,

00:17:51.960 --> 00:17:52.319
 struck,

00:17:52.859 --> 00:17:54.139
 mocked by Roman soldiers,

00:17:54.140 --> 00:17:56.060
 led out to Golgotha,

00:17:56.160 --> 00:17:57.020
 the place of the skull

00:17:57.020 --> 00:17:57.940
 outside Jerusalem.

00:17:58.500 --> 00:18:00.120
 And then there He was crucified,

00:18:00.360 --> 00:18:01.120
 nailed to the cross.

00:18:06.780 --> 00:18:08.360
 There was a sign over His head

00:18:08.360 --> 00:18:08.860
 that read,

00:18:09.080 --> 00:18:10.020
 this is Jesus,

00:18:10.200 --> 00:18:11.180
 King of the Jews.

00:18:11.660 --> 00:18:13.520
 Verse 37 of chapter 27.

00:18:14.460 --> 00:18:16.240
 We read that there are two thieves

00:18:16.240 --> 00:18:17.060
 that were crucified

00:18:17.060 --> 00:18:18.160
 on either side of Him

00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:20.220
 and that they were mocking Him.

00:18:21.300 --> 00:18:22.300
 There were passerbys

00:18:22.299 --> 00:18:23.299
 walking by,

00:18:23.700 --> 00:18:24.759
 wagging their heads,

00:18:25.099 --> 00:18:25.319
 saying,

00:18:25.619 --> 00:18:27.159
 come down from the cross,

00:18:28.059 --> 00:18:28.899
 deriding Him.

00:18:31.139 --> 00:18:32.240
 The chief priests,

00:18:32.500 --> 00:18:32.940
 scribes,

00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:34.119
 and elders were there

00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:35.779
 mocking Him as well.

00:18:35.859 --> 00:18:36.579
 In verse 41,

00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:37.919
 He saved others.

00:18:38.779 --> 00:18:39.779
 He cannot save Himself.

00:18:40.180 --> 00:18:41.579
 Let Him come down from the cross

00:18:41.579 --> 00:18:42.740
 and we will believe Him.

00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:43.980
 Let God deliver Him.

00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:44.480
 Mockety,

00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:44.899
 mockety,

00:18:44.980 --> 00:18:45.319
 mock.

00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:49.399
 They didn't think

00:18:49.399 --> 00:18:51.960
 that He would or could.

00:18:53.159 --> 00:18:54.259
 What they didn't realize

00:18:54.259 --> 00:18:55.899
 was that what was happening here

00:18:55.899 --> 00:18:57.599
 was all according to

00:18:57.599 --> 00:18:58.740
 the glorious plan

00:18:58.740 --> 00:19:00.000
 of the triune God

00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:01.619
 who wanted to save sinners.

00:19:02.740 --> 00:19:04.480
 This was all according to plan.

00:19:05.740 --> 00:19:07.099
 God and His great Son

00:19:07.099 --> 00:19:09.799
 had sent His Son

00:19:09.799 --> 00:19:11.299
 for sinners to save.

00:19:11.299 --> 00:19:16.759
 God had sent this Passover lamb

00:19:16.759 --> 00:19:17.619
 to deliver people

00:19:17.619 --> 00:19:19.000
 from their sin

00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:19.839
 through His death.

00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:22.680
 Beep, beep, beep.

00:19:23.940 --> 00:19:24.700
 Beep, beep.

00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:29.819
 In verse 45 of chapter 27,

00:19:30.579 --> 00:19:30.899
 Jesus,

00:19:31.279 --> 00:19:31.879
 it's noon,

00:19:32.259 --> 00:19:33.440
 Jesus has been crucified,

00:19:33.619 --> 00:19:34.359
 though He's not dead.

00:19:34.419 --> 00:19:35.700
 He's hanging on the cross.

00:19:36.139 --> 00:19:36.700
 At noon,

00:19:36.859 --> 00:19:39.720
 darkness surrounds the land.

00:19:39.720 --> 00:19:41.940
 It's God's judgment

00:19:41.940 --> 00:19:44.000
 gathering over Jesus.

00:19:44.900 --> 00:19:46.039
 His just wrath.

00:19:47.460 --> 00:19:49.039
 At 3 o'clock that afternoon

00:19:49.039 --> 00:19:50.900
 is the cry of dereliction.

00:19:51.120 --> 00:19:52.000
 Jesus cries out,

00:19:52.339 --> 00:19:52.980
 Eli, Eli,

00:19:53.100 --> 00:19:53.319
 lame,

00:19:53.480 --> 00:19:54.140
 sebectani,

00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:55.039
 my God, my God,

00:19:55.079 --> 00:19:56.299
 why have you forsaken me?

00:19:56.600 --> 00:19:57.500
 It's at that moment,

00:19:57.600 --> 00:19:58.940
 Isaiah 53, 6,

00:19:59.299 --> 00:20:00.860
 God has laid on Jesus

00:20:00.860 --> 00:20:01.940
 the sin of all

00:20:01.940 --> 00:20:02.759
 who would believe in Him

00:20:02.759 --> 00:20:04.140
 and He's pouring out

00:20:04.140 --> 00:20:05.200
 His wrath on Him.

00:20:07.539 --> 00:20:08.440
 The Son of God

00:20:08.440 --> 00:20:09.039
 is forsaken

00:20:09.039 --> 00:20:10.240
 by God the Father.

00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:11.619
 There's still the Son,

00:20:11.740 --> 00:20:12.339
 still the Father,

00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:14.440
 but He's enduring

00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:15.200
 the wrath

00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:16.759
 meant for those

00:20:16.759 --> 00:20:17.680
 sinners

00:20:17.680 --> 00:20:19.240
 that would one day believe.

00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:27.639
 In verse 50,

00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:28.639
 Jesus yields up

00:20:28.639 --> 00:20:29.159
 His Spirit.

00:20:29.279 --> 00:20:30.000
 It's important to note,

00:20:30.059 --> 00:20:30.819
 I made this point

00:20:30.819 --> 00:20:31.559
 on Friday.

00:20:31.559 --> 00:20:34.619
 He gave Himself.

00:20:35.879 --> 00:20:37.019
 His life was not

00:20:37.019 --> 00:20:37.879
 taken from Him.

00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:39.799
 He voluntarily

00:20:39.799 --> 00:20:40.839
 laid His life down.

00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:42.259
 He gave Himself

00:20:42.259 --> 00:20:43.339
 for you and for me.

00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:44.500
 He gave Himself

00:20:44.500 --> 00:20:45.180
 for sinners.

00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:47.779
 It was a voluntary sacrifice.

00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:49.220
 He was a substitute

00:20:49.220 --> 00:20:49.900
 for sinners.

00:20:51.180 --> 00:20:51.940
 And then there was

00:20:51.940 --> 00:20:52.559
 an earthquake.

00:20:53.839 --> 00:20:54.720
 Rock split.

00:20:55.619 --> 00:20:56.339
 Verse 54,

00:20:56.480 --> 00:20:57.660
 the centurion says,

00:20:58.660 --> 00:20:59.859
 truly this was

00:20:59.859 --> 00:21:00.799
 the Son of God.

00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:05.500
 He's the Christ.

00:21:06.200 --> 00:21:07.399
 He's the one.

00:21:08.659 --> 00:21:09.579
 He is who He was

00:21:09.579 --> 00:21:10.419
 claiming to be.

00:21:13.079 --> 00:21:14.419
 So Jesus dies.

00:21:17.279 --> 00:21:17.759
 Beep, beep, beep.

00:21:19.200 --> 00:21:20.019
 Beep, beep.

00:21:21.500 --> 00:21:22.659
 Friday evening,

00:21:22.779 --> 00:21:24.119
 Joseph of Arimathea,

00:21:25.119 --> 00:21:26.339
 who Luke tells us

00:21:26.339 --> 00:21:26.819
 was a member

00:21:26.819 --> 00:21:27.619
 of the Sanhedrin,

00:21:27.619 --> 00:21:30.479
 but he did not,

00:21:30.619 --> 00:21:32.159
 he did not

00:21:32.159 --> 00:21:33.279
 consent to

00:21:33.279 --> 00:21:34.339
 Jesus' crucifixion.

00:21:35.459 --> 00:21:37.219
 Well, after Jesus dies,

00:21:37.659 --> 00:21:38.759
 Joseph of Arimathea

00:21:38.759 --> 00:21:39.579
 goes to Pilate

00:21:39.579 --> 00:21:40.739
 and requests

00:21:40.739 --> 00:21:41.819
 the body,

00:21:41.919 --> 00:21:42.500
 the dead body

00:21:42.500 --> 00:21:42.919
 of Jesus

00:21:42.919 --> 00:21:43.939
 so he can bury Him.

00:21:44.939 --> 00:21:45.539
 We see this

00:21:45.539 --> 00:21:46.879
 in 27,

00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:48.539
 57 through 61.

00:21:52.099 --> 00:21:53.479
 Pilate gives him

00:21:53.479 --> 00:21:54.139
 permission to take

00:21:54.139 --> 00:21:54.799
 the dead body

00:21:54.799 --> 00:21:55.379
 of Jesus,

00:21:56.379 --> 00:21:57.219
 brings it down,

00:21:57.619 --> 00:21:58.559
 Joseph brings

00:21:58.559 --> 00:21:59.299
 the dead body

00:21:59.299 --> 00:21:59.779
 of Jesus

00:21:59.779 --> 00:22:02.259
 to a tomb

00:22:02.259 --> 00:22:03.719
 that was hewn

00:22:03.719 --> 00:22:04.759
 out of rock

00:22:04.759 --> 00:22:05.979
 for Joseph.

00:22:08.019 --> 00:22:08.399
 And so,

00:22:08.759 --> 00:22:09.959
 he puts Jesus'

00:22:10.599 --> 00:22:11.399
 dead body

00:22:11.399 --> 00:22:12.579
 in this tomb

00:22:12.579 --> 00:22:13.979
 and that we read

00:22:13.979 --> 00:22:14.759
 is that he

00:22:14.759 --> 00:22:16.319
 rolled the stone

00:22:16.319 --> 00:22:17.079
 in front of the tomb

00:22:17.079 --> 00:22:18.039
 and the stone

00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:19.259
 was a huge stone

00:22:19.259 --> 00:22:20.879
 and it was moved

00:22:20.879 --> 00:22:21.679
 by gravity

00:22:21.679 --> 00:22:22.459
 and so the stone

00:22:22.459 --> 00:22:23.159
 would sit up

00:22:23.159 --> 00:22:24.059
 on a higher point

00:22:24.059 --> 00:22:24.819
 in a little well

00:22:24.819 --> 00:22:25.619
 and Joseph

00:22:25.619 --> 00:22:26.519
 would have pushed it.

00:22:26.519 --> 00:22:27.339
 I'm not sure

00:22:27.339 --> 00:22:27.680
 if there's any

00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:28.059
 other else

00:22:28.059 --> 00:22:28.680
 to push it

00:22:28.680 --> 00:22:29.000
 with him

00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:29.539
 and then it

00:22:29.539 --> 00:22:30.259
 would by gravity

00:22:30.259 --> 00:22:31.400
 drop into another

00:22:31.400 --> 00:22:31.859
 well in front

00:22:31.859 --> 00:22:32.180
 of the tomb

00:22:32.180 --> 00:22:32.619
 and it would

00:22:32.619 --> 00:22:33.480
 close the tomb.

00:22:35.480 --> 00:22:36.099
 Huge stone.

00:22:40.379 --> 00:22:40.700
 Jesus'

00:22:40.960 --> 00:22:41.460
 dead body

00:22:41.460 --> 00:22:42.079
 has been placed

00:22:42.079 --> 00:22:43.500
 inside the tomb,

00:22:44.319 --> 00:22:44.619
 sealed,

00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:46.240
 entrance,

00:22:47.059 --> 00:22:47.960
 no way getting in,

00:22:50.279 --> 00:22:51.519
 no way getting out.

00:22:51.519 --> 00:22:55.779
 And in verse 61

00:22:55.779 --> 00:22:56.579
 what we see

00:22:56.579 --> 00:22:57.139
 is this.

00:22:58.299 --> 00:22:59.139
 Mary Magdalene

00:22:59.139 --> 00:22:59.960
 and the other Mary

00:22:59.960 --> 00:23:00.680
 were there

00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:03.160
 sitting opposite

00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:03.779
 the tomb.

00:23:04.180 --> 00:23:05.599
 They saw

00:23:05.599 --> 00:23:07.400
 where Jesus'

00:23:07.900 --> 00:23:09.259
 body was laid.

00:23:10.259 --> 00:23:11.259
 They were there.

00:23:13.200 --> 00:23:14.039
 They were there

00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:14.819
 on that Friday night.

00:23:16.220 --> 00:23:16.980
 They saw

00:23:16.980 --> 00:23:17.819
 where the tomb was.

00:23:17.819 --> 00:23:20.740
 Jesus'

00:23:20.919 --> 00:23:21.480
 body placed

00:23:21.480 --> 00:23:21.899
 in the tomb.

00:23:21.980 --> 00:23:22.639
 He's dead.

00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:25.879
 Stone rolled

00:23:25.879 --> 00:23:26.359
 in the way.

00:23:26.500 --> 00:23:27.179
 Mary and Mary

00:23:27.179 --> 00:23:27.740
 see it.

00:23:28.240 --> 00:23:28.960
 Night falls.

00:23:29.259 --> 00:23:30.179
 Friday is done.

00:23:30.579 --> 00:23:31.079
 Beep, beep, beep.

00:23:31.500 --> 00:23:31.899
 Beep, beep.

00:23:31.899 --> 00:23:32.240
 Beep.

00:23:32.639 --> 00:23:33.179
 We move on

00:23:33.179 --> 00:23:33.980
 to the next highlight.

00:23:35.740 --> 00:23:36.659
 Saturday morning

00:23:36.659 --> 00:23:38.559
 chapter 27

00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:40.200
 verses 62

00:23:40.200 --> 00:23:41.279
 and forward.

00:23:42.819 --> 00:23:43.559
 The chief priests

00:23:43.559 --> 00:23:44.139
 aren't done.

00:23:44.139 --> 00:23:44.200
 The chief priests

00:23:44.200 --> 00:23:44.220
 aren't done.

00:23:44.220 --> 00:23:48.680
 They and the Pharisees

00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:49.819
 go before Pilate

00:23:49.819 --> 00:23:51.059
 to request

00:23:51.059 --> 00:23:51.900
 a guard

00:23:51.900 --> 00:23:53.360
 to be placed

00:23:53.360 --> 00:23:54.620
 out in front

00:23:54.620 --> 00:23:55.740
 of the tomb.

00:23:55.900 --> 00:23:56.600
 A Roman guard.

00:23:58.360 --> 00:23:58.819
 Why?

00:24:00.600 --> 00:24:02.059
 Why would they do that?

00:24:08.579 --> 00:24:10.240
 If you look at verse 63

00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:10.900
 you see why.

00:24:10.900 --> 00:24:14.060
 They request

00:24:14.060 --> 00:24:15.180
 this guard

00:24:15.180 --> 00:24:16.640
 saying

00:24:16.640 --> 00:24:17.780
 sir we remember

00:24:17.780 --> 00:24:19.000
 how that imposter

00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:20.600
 said

00:24:20.600 --> 00:24:22.460
 while he was still alive

00:24:22.460 --> 00:24:24.340
 after three days

00:24:24.340 --> 00:24:25.140
 I will rise.

00:24:27.600 --> 00:24:28.259
 They knew

00:24:28.259 --> 00:24:28.680
 what Jesus

00:24:28.680 --> 00:24:29.100
 had said.

00:24:30.340 --> 00:24:31.019
 They knew

00:24:31.019 --> 00:24:32.060
 that he had prophesied

00:24:32.060 --> 00:24:33.160
 his own resurrection.

00:24:34.060 --> 00:24:35.040
 If you want to see

00:24:35.040 --> 00:24:36.000
 where in Matthew

00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:37.640
 Matthew 16

00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:38.160
 21

00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:39.240
 Matthew 17

00:24:39.240 --> 00:24:39.700
 22

00:24:39.700 --> 00:24:40.360
 through 23

00:24:40.359 --> 00:24:41.799
 Matthew 20

00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:42.240
 17

00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:42.839
 through 19

00:24:42.839 --> 00:24:43.740
 and when we

00:24:43.740 --> 00:24:44.099
 looked at

00:24:44.099 --> 00:24:44.959
 Matthew 26

00:24:44.959 --> 00:24:45.379
 32

00:24:45.379 --> 00:24:45.959
 these are all

00:24:45.959 --> 00:24:46.479
 places where

00:24:46.479 --> 00:24:47.119
 Jesus says

00:24:47.119 --> 00:24:47.859
 I'm going to

00:24:47.859 --> 00:24:48.379
 rise again.

00:24:51.959 --> 00:24:52.859
 They knew it

00:24:52.859 --> 00:24:54.379
 but you know what?

00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:55.919
 They didn't think

00:24:55.919 --> 00:24:56.379
 that he was going

00:24:56.379 --> 00:24:56.939
 to rise again.

00:24:57.439 --> 00:24:57.859
 They thought

00:24:57.859 --> 00:24:58.399
 the disciples

00:24:58.399 --> 00:24:59.339
 there was a possibility

00:24:59.339 --> 00:24:59.939
 that the disciples

00:24:59.939 --> 00:25:01.579
 would steal the body

00:25:01.579 --> 00:25:03.319
 and propagate

00:25:03.319 --> 00:25:04.439
 this rumor

00:25:04.439 --> 00:25:06.059
 this untruth

00:25:06.059 --> 00:25:06.579
 that he had been

00:25:06.579 --> 00:25:07.439
 raised from the dead

00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:09.460
 and it would be

00:25:09.460 --> 00:25:10.019
 bad.

00:25:13.960 --> 00:25:14.700
 Everyone thinks

00:25:14.700 --> 00:25:15.100
 he's dead.

00:25:17.660 --> 00:25:18.480
 Everyone thinks

00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:19.240
 Jesus is dead.

00:25:25.559 --> 00:25:26.559
 Pilate allows

00:25:26.559 --> 00:25:27.380
 a Roman guard

00:25:27.380 --> 00:25:28.140
 to be placed

00:25:28.140 --> 00:25:28.740
 at the tomb.

00:25:28.900 --> 00:25:29.380
 They go.

00:25:29.539 --> 00:25:30.440
 They secure the tomb

00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:30.820
 which means

00:25:30.820 --> 00:25:31.860
 they put a

00:25:31.860 --> 00:25:33.460
 seal on

00:25:33.460 --> 00:25:34.600
 the stone

00:25:34.600 --> 00:25:35.360
 in the tomb

00:25:35.359 --> 00:25:36.939
 and they set

00:25:36.939 --> 00:25:37.319
 a guard.

00:25:39.379 --> 00:25:40.119
 This was all

00:25:40.119 --> 00:25:41.199
 because the

00:25:41.199 --> 00:25:41.759
 Jewish authorities

00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:42.240
 of the time

00:25:42.240 --> 00:25:42.719
 were afraid

00:25:42.719 --> 00:25:43.359
 that the disciples

00:25:43.359 --> 00:25:43.659
 were going to

00:25:43.659 --> 00:25:44.099
 come back

00:25:44.099 --> 00:25:44.839
 steal the body

00:25:44.839 --> 00:25:45.519
 and say that

00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:46.019
 he was raised

00:25:46.019 --> 00:25:46.539
 from the dead.

00:25:53.379 --> 00:25:54.079
 Beep, beep, beep.

00:25:54.339 --> 00:25:54.639
 Beep, beep.

00:25:54.639 --> 00:25:54.879
 Beep, beep.

00:25:56.339 --> 00:25:57.299
 Chapter 28.

00:25:57.299 --> 00:26:03.659
 The third day.

00:26:06.319 --> 00:26:07.159
 The first day

00:26:07.159 --> 00:26:07.559
 of the week.

00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:08.279
 Sunday morning.

00:26:08.440 --> 00:26:08.960
 The day after

00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:09.440
 the Sabbath.

00:26:10.220 --> 00:26:10.899
 Jews observed

00:26:10.899 --> 00:26:11.859
 Sabbath on Saturday.

00:26:13.819 --> 00:26:14.519
 Now after the

00:26:14.519 --> 00:26:15.279
 Sabbath toward the

00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:16.019
 dawn of the first

00:26:16.019 --> 00:26:16.559
 day of the week

00:26:16.559 --> 00:26:17.419
 Mary and Mary

00:26:17.419 --> 00:26:18.440
 went to see

00:26:18.440 --> 00:26:18.740
 the tomb.

00:26:18.819 --> 00:26:19.299
 The same

00:26:19.299 --> 00:26:20.200
 Mary and Mary

00:26:20.200 --> 00:26:21.059
 that saw

00:26:21.059 --> 00:26:21.680
 where the body

00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:22.059
 of Jesus

00:26:22.059 --> 00:26:22.579
 was laid.

00:26:22.579 --> 00:26:27.439
 they go.

00:26:29.839 --> 00:26:30.619
 Verse 2.

00:26:32.379 --> 00:26:32.899
 There's a great

00:26:32.899 --> 00:26:33.179
 earthquake.

00:26:35.299 --> 00:26:36.099
 This is the

00:26:36.099 --> 00:26:36.980
 second earthquake

00:26:36.980 --> 00:26:37.799
 that has taken

00:26:37.799 --> 00:26:38.500
 place in three

00:26:38.500 --> 00:26:38.859
 days.

00:26:40.419 --> 00:26:41.019
 Remember the

00:26:41.019 --> 00:26:41.559
 first earthquake

00:26:41.559 --> 00:26:42.339
 when Jesus

00:26:42.339 --> 00:26:42.879
 gave up his

00:26:42.879 --> 00:26:43.220
 spirit?

00:26:45.220 --> 00:26:46.000
 The curtain

00:26:46.000 --> 00:26:46.779
 at that moment

00:26:46.779 --> 00:26:47.699
 was torn in

00:26:47.699 --> 00:26:47.960
 two.

00:26:48.460 --> 00:26:49.079
 God had made

00:26:49.079 --> 00:26:49.799
 a way through

00:26:49.799 --> 00:26:50.339
 the death of

00:26:50.339 --> 00:26:50.939
 Jesus for

00:26:50.939 --> 00:26:52.039
 sinners to come

00:26:52.039 --> 00:26:52.399
 into the

00:26:52.399 --> 00:26:52.899
 presence of

00:26:52.899 --> 00:26:53.200
 a holy

00:26:53.200 --> 00:26:53.619
 God.

00:26:54.359 --> 00:26:54.960
 Earthquake!

00:26:55.539 --> 00:26:56.180
 It's epic!

00:26:58.879 --> 00:26:59.839
 And now

00:26:59.839 --> 00:27:00.559
 the second

00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:01.099
 earthquake.

00:27:02.579 --> 00:27:03.180
 Empty

00:27:03.180 --> 00:27:03.619
 tomb.

00:27:07.299 --> 00:27:08.159
 Angel of

00:27:08.159 --> 00:27:08.899
 Lord comes.

00:27:10.039 --> 00:27:11.059
 Rolls back

00:27:11.059 --> 00:27:11.839
 the stone

00:27:11.839 --> 00:27:12.339
 and then

00:27:12.339 --> 00:27:13.119
 sits on it.

00:27:14.019 --> 00:27:14.480
 He wasn't

00:27:14.480 --> 00:27:14.839
 sweating.

00:27:16.839 --> 00:27:17.619
 In verse

00:27:17.619 --> 00:27:18.099
 3.

00:27:18.680 --> 00:27:18.879
 His

00:27:18.879 --> 00:27:19.379
 appearance

00:27:19.379 --> 00:27:19.940
 was like

00:27:19.940 --> 00:27:20.420
 lightning

00:27:20.420 --> 00:27:20.859
 and his

00:27:20.859 --> 00:27:21.700
 clothing

00:27:21.700 --> 00:27:22.600
 white as

00:27:22.600 --> 00:27:23.200
 snow.

00:27:23.200 --> 00:27:25.019
 There was

00:27:25.019 --> 00:27:25.900
 no mistaking

00:27:25.900 --> 00:27:26.380
 who this

00:27:26.380 --> 00:27:27.400
 being was.

00:27:28.240 --> 00:27:28.680
 He was an

00:27:28.680 --> 00:27:29.240
 angel of

00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:29.620
 God.

00:27:31.180 --> 00:27:32.000
 It makes

00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:32.480
 your knees

00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:32.920
 knock.

00:27:34.340 --> 00:27:34.960
 And that's

00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:35.340
 what we see

00:27:35.340 --> 00:27:35.940
 happen with the

00:27:35.940 --> 00:27:36.600
 Roman guards.

00:27:36.759 --> 00:27:37.700
 They're trembling

00:27:37.700 --> 00:27:38.660
 in verse 4.

00:27:39.960 --> 00:27:40.980
 And became like

00:27:40.980 --> 00:27:41.360
 dead men.

00:27:41.420 --> 00:27:41.819
 I think they

00:27:41.819 --> 00:27:42.360
 dropped.

00:27:45.580 --> 00:27:46.319
 But this

00:27:46.319 --> 00:27:46.940
 angel did not

00:27:46.940 --> 00:27:47.559
 come to speak

00:27:47.559 --> 00:27:48.120
 to these Roman

00:27:48.120 --> 00:27:48.519
 guards.

00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:48.579
 angels.

00:27:50.379 --> 00:27:51.160
 He came to

00:27:51.160 --> 00:27:51.500
 speak to

00:27:51.500 --> 00:27:51.839
 Mary and

00:27:51.839 --> 00:27:52.099
 Mary.

00:27:52.839 --> 00:27:53.379
 By the way,

00:27:53.920 --> 00:27:54.639
 these same

00:27:54.639 --> 00:27:55.279
 Roman guards

00:27:55.279 --> 00:27:55.980
 we read later

00:27:55.980 --> 00:27:56.839
 in 28,

00:27:56.980 --> 00:27:57.400
 11 through

00:27:57.400 --> 00:27:57.779
 15,

00:27:57.920 --> 00:27:58.240
 they were

00:27:58.240 --> 00:27:59.200
 paid off

00:27:59.200 --> 00:28:00.000
 by the

00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:00.240
 Jewish

00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:00.799
 authorities

00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:02.220
 to not

00:28:02.220 --> 00:28:02.819
 say what

00:28:02.819 --> 00:28:03.319
 happened,

00:28:03.579 --> 00:28:03.940
 but to

00:28:03.940 --> 00:28:04.900
 actually say

00:28:04.900 --> 00:28:05.480
 the disciples

00:28:05.480 --> 00:28:05.980
 came and

00:28:05.980 --> 00:28:06.259
 stole the

00:28:06.259 --> 00:28:06.519
 body.

00:28:06.639 --> 00:28:06.879
 I'll come

00:28:06.879 --> 00:28:07.200
 back to

00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:07.519
 that in a

00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:07.720
 second.

00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:12.500
 Well,

00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:13.079
 this angel

00:28:13.079 --> 00:28:14.240
 turns to

00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:14.480
 the

00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:14.980
 Marys

00:28:14.980 --> 00:28:15.720
 and he

00:28:15.720 --> 00:28:16.180
 says to

00:28:16.180 --> 00:28:16.460
 them,

00:28:17.860 --> 00:28:18.759
 don't be

00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:19.460
 afraid for

00:28:19.460 --> 00:28:20.059
 I know that

00:28:20.059 --> 00:28:20.500
 you seek

00:28:20.500 --> 00:28:21.039
 Jesus who

00:28:21.039 --> 00:28:21.680
 was crucified.

00:28:22.799 --> 00:28:23.539
 He is not

00:28:23.539 --> 00:28:26.680
 here for

00:28:26.680 --> 00:28:27.160
 he has

00:28:27.160 --> 00:28:27.620
 risen.

00:28:31.100 --> 00:28:31.900
 Just as

00:28:31.900 --> 00:28:32.600
 he said,

00:28:34.079 --> 00:28:35.620
 come see

00:28:35.620 --> 00:28:36.019
 the place

00:28:36.019 --> 00:28:36.339
 where he

00:28:36.339 --> 00:28:36.460
 lies.

00:28:36.579 --> 00:28:36.960
 Look for

00:28:36.960 --> 00:28:37.299
 yourself,

00:28:37.380 --> 00:28:37.720
 it's empty.

00:28:38.360 --> 00:28:38.680
 Come on

00:28:38.680 --> 00:28:38.819
 in,

00:28:39.039 --> 00:28:39.299
 check it

00:28:39.299 --> 00:28:39.480
 out.

00:28:40.039 --> 00:28:40.340
 He's not

00:28:40.340 --> 00:28:40.559
 here,

00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:41.380
 he's been

00:28:41.380 --> 00:28:41.640
 raised.

00:28:45.220 --> 00:28:45.980
 My mind

00:28:45.980 --> 00:28:46.420
 goes like

00:28:46.420 --> 00:28:46.579
 this,

00:28:46.640 --> 00:28:47.120
 what's going

00:28:47.120 --> 00:28:47.420
 on in

00:28:47.420 --> 00:28:47.779
 heaven at

00:28:47.779 --> 00:28:48.200
 this point?

00:28:49.220 --> 00:28:49.539
 What's

00:28:49.539 --> 00:28:50.079
 going on?

00:28:51.120 --> 00:28:51.880
 What is

00:28:51.880 --> 00:28:52.860
 going on?

00:28:52.940 --> 00:28:53.360
 I think

00:28:53.360 --> 00:28:53.600
 there's

00:28:53.600 --> 00:28:54.039
 already

00:28:54.039 --> 00:28:54.700
 trumpets

00:28:54.700 --> 00:28:55.779
 blazing

00:28:55.779 --> 00:28:56.319
 and great

00:28:56.319 --> 00:28:57.039
 rejoicing

00:28:57.039 --> 00:28:57.400
 because

00:28:57.400 --> 00:28:58.299
 Jesus

00:28:58.299 --> 00:28:58.759
 has

00:28:58.759 --> 00:29:00.740
 risen

00:29:00.740 --> 00:29:01.240
 from the

00:29:01.240 --> 00:29:01.559
 dead.

00:29:04.759 --> 00:29:05.200
 The

00:29:05.200 --> 00:29:05.400
 angel

00:29:05.400 --> 00:29:06.000
 says

00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:07.279
 go

00:29:07.279 --> 00:29:07.740
 tell

00:29:07.740 --> 00:29:08.380
 disciples

00:29:08.380 --> 00:29:08.700
 that

00:29:08.700 --> 00:29:08.880
 he's

00:29:08.880 --> 00:29:09.079
 risen

00:29:09.079 --> 00:29:09.319
 from

00:29:09.319 --> 00:29:09.460
 the

00:29:09.460 --> 00:29:09.680
 dead

00:29:09.680 --> 00:29:09.819
 and

00:29:09.819 --> 00:29:10.079
 behold

00:29:10.079 --> 00:29:10.279
 he's

00:29:10.279 --> 00:29:10.519
 going

00:29:10.519 --> 00:29:10.839
 before

00:29:10.839 --> 00:29:11.039
 you

00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:11.180
 to

00:29:11.180 --> 00:29:11.500
 Galilee

00:29:11.500 --> 00:29:11.759
 like

00:29:11.759 --> 00:29:12.259
 he said

00:29:12.259 --> 00:29:12.359
 in

00:29:12.359 --> 00:29:13.220
 2632.

00:29:13.220 --> 00:29:13.660
 There

00:29:13.660 --> 00:29:15.119
 you will

00:29:15.119 --> 00:29:15.619
 see

00:29:15.619 --> 00:29:16.019
 him.

00:29:16.019 --> 00:29:19.839
 so

00:29:19.839 --> 00:29:20.079
 these

00:29:20.079 --> 00:29:20.500
 ladies

00:29:20.500 --> 00:29:20.920
 quickly

00:29:20.920 --> 00:29:21.160
 go

00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:21.339
 from

00:29:21.339 --> 00:29:21.480
 the

00:29:21.480 --> 00:29:21.740
 tomb

00:29:21.740 --> 00:29:21.920
 in

00:29:21.920 --> 00:29:22.119
 verse

00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:22.440
 8

00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:22.960
 and

00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:23.059
 they

00:29:23.059 --> 00:29:23.200
 have

00:29:23.200 --> 00:29:23.379
 this

00:29:23.379 --> 00:29:23.759
 mixture

00:29:23.759 --> 00:29:24.039
 of

00:29:24.039 --> 00:29:24.299
 fear

00:29:24.299 --> 00:29:24.460
 and

00:29:24.460 --> 00:29:24.720
 great

00:29:24.720 --> 00:29:25.059
 joy.

00:29:25.160 --> 00:29:25.220
 I

00:29:25.220 --> 00:29:25.359
 think

00:29:25.359 --> 00:29:25.519
 we

00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:25.680
 all

00:29:25.680 --> 00:29:25.839
 know

00:29:25.839 --> 00:29:25.980
 what

00:29:25.980 --> 00:29:26.160
 that

00:29:26.160 --> 00:29:26.460
 is.

00:29:28.400 --> 00:29:28.599
 And

00:29:28.599 --> 00:29:28.940
 behold

00:29:28.940 --> 00:29:29.259
 Jesus

00:29:29.259 --> 00:29:29.599
 meets

00:29:29.599 --> 00:29:29.740
 them

00:29:29.740 --> 00:29:29.879
 on

00:29:29.879 --> 00:29:29.980
 the

00:29:29.980 --> 00:29:30.160
 way

00:29:30.160 --> 00:29:30.319
 and

00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:30.519
 says

00:29:30.519 --> 00:29:30.920
 greetings

00:29:30.920 --> 00:29:31.319
 they

00:29:31.319 --> 00:29:31.700
 drop

00:29:31.700 --> 00:29:31.859
 at

00:29:31.859 --> 00:29:32.019
 his

00:29:32.019 --> 00:29:32.220
 feet

00:29:32.220 --> 00:29:32.400
 and

00:29:32.400 --> 00:29:32.700
 worship

00:29:32.700 --> 00:29:33.039
 him.

00:29:34.980 --> 00:29:35.440
 Eyewitness

00:29:35.440 --> 00:29:37.180
 presence

00:29:37.180 --> 00:29:37.859
 of the

00:29:37.859 --> 00:29:38.099
 risen

00:29:38.099 --> 00:29:38.660
 Christ

00:29:38.660 --> 00:29:39.519
 and

00:29:39.519 --> 00:29:39.660
 they

00:29:39.660 --> 00:29:40.000
 drop

00:29:40.000 --> 00:29:40.180
 at

00:29:40.180 --> 00:29:40.359
 his

00:29:40.359 --> 00:29:40.660
 feet

00:29:40.660 --> 00:29:41.940
 and

00:29:41.940 --> 00:29:42.180
 Jesus

00:29:42.180 --> 00:29:42.500
 says

00:29:42.500 --> 00:29:42.720
 them

00:29:42.720 --> 00:29:42.920
 do

00:29:42.920 --> 00:29:43.099
 not

00:29:43.099 --> 00:29:43.259
 be

00:29:43.259 --> 00:29:43.599
 afraid

00:29:43.599 --> 00:29:43.879
 go

00:29:43.879 --> 00:29:44.019
 and

00:29:44.019 --> 00:29:44.099
 tell

00:29:44.099 --> 00:29:44.279
 my

00:29:44.279 --> 00:29:44.579

00:29:44.579 --> 00:29:44.819
 to

00:29:44.819 --> 00:29:45.259
 go

00:29:45.259 --> 00:29:45.419

00:29:45.419 --> 00:29:45.819
 Galilee

00:29:45.819 --> 00:29:46.059
 and

00:29:46.059 --> 00:29:46.399
 there

00:29:46.399 --> 00:29:46.639
 they

00:29:46.639 --> 00:29:46.919
 will

00:29:46.919 --> 00:29:47.439
 see

00:29:47.439 --> 00:29:47.859
 me.

00:29:50.859 --> 00:29:51.419
 Eyewitnesses.

00:29:52.779 --> 00:29:53.299
 These

00:29:53.299 --> 00:29:53.619
 women are

00:29:53.619 --> 00:29:54.019
 the first

00:29:54.019 --> 00:29:54.980
 eyewitnesses

00:29:54.980 --> 00:29:55.299
 to see

00:29:55.299 --> 00:29:55.639
 the risen

00:29:55.639 --> 00:29:56.139
 Christ.

00:29:57.379 --> 00:29:57.480
 And

00:29:57.480 --> 00:29:57.579
 then

00:29:57.579 --> 00:29:57.699
 what

00:29:57.699 --> 00:29:57.839
 we

00:29:57.839 --> 00:29:58.000
 see

00:29:58.000 --> 00:29:58.099
 in

00:29:58.099 --> 00:29:58.199
 the

00:29:58.199 --> 00:29:58.419

00:29:58.419 --> 00:29:58.519

00:30:05.299 --> 00:30:05.519
 we

00:30:05.519 --> 00:30:05.959
 see

00:30:05.959 --> 00:30:06.740
 account

00:30:06.740 --> 00:30:07.299
 after

00:30:07.299 --> 00:30:07.799
 account

00:30:07.799 --> 00:30:08.339
 of

00:30:08.339 --> 00:30:09.519
 eyewitnesses

00:30:09.519 --> 00:30:09.939
 to

00:30:09.939 --> 00:30:10.240
 the

00:30:10.240 --> 00:30:10.959
 resurrected

00:30:10.959 --> 00:30:11.659
 Jesus.

00:30:13.599 --> 00:30:19.179
 Do you

00:30:19.179 --> 00:30:19.339
 know what

00:30:19.339 --> 00:30:19.519
 the New

00:30:19.519 --> 00:30:19.779
 Testament

00:30:19.779 --> 00:30:20.099
 says

00:30:20.099 --> 00:30:20.319
 about

00:30:20.319 --> 00:30:20.639
 Jesus?

00:30:22.639 --> 00:30:23.240
 From

00:30:23.240 --> 00:30:23.599
 Matthew

00:30:23.599 --> 00:30:23.859
 to

00:30:23.859 --> 00:30:24.399
 Revelation

00:30:24.399 --> 00:30:25.019
 without

00:30:25.019 --> 00:30:25.679
 reservation

00:30:25.679 --> 00:30:26.199
 without

00:30:26.199 --> 00:30:26.899
 apology

00:30:26.899 --> 00:30:28.279
 the

00:30:28.279 --> 00:30:28.559
 New

00:30:28.559 --> 00:30:29.079
 Testament

00:30:29.079 --> 00:30:30.679
 proclaims

00:30:30.679 --> 00:30:31.299
 that the

00:30:31.299 --> 00:30:31.859
 Messiah

00:30:31.859 --> 00:30:32.399
 Jesus

00:30:32.399 --> 00:30:32.939
 was not

00:30:32.939 --> 00:30:33.219
 only

00:30:33.219 --> 00:30:34.559
 crucified

00:30:34.559 --> 00:30:35.659
 not only

00:30:35.659 --> 00:30:36.019
 was he

00:30:36.019 --> 00:30:36.819
 buried

00:30:36.819 --> 00:30:37.919
 but he

00:30:37.919 --> 00:30:39.039
 was raised

00:30:39.039 --> 00:30:39.799
 from the

00:30:39.799 --> 00:30:40.240
 dead.

00:30:40.799 --> 00:30:41.500
 That's the

00:30:41.500 --> 00:30:42.059
 overwhelming

00:30:42.059 --> 00:30:42.659
 witness of

00:30:42.659 --> 00:30:42.899
 the New

00:30:42.899 --> 00:30:43.240
 Testament.

00:30:43.599 --> 00:30:48.059
 He's

00:30:48.059 --> 00:30:48.519
 alive.

00:30:49.679 --> 00:30:50.319
 He's

00:30:50.319 --> 00:30:50.659
 risen.

00:30:52.299 --> 00:30:52.899
 He's

00:30:52.899 --> 00:30:53.199
 alive

00:30:53.199 --> 00:30:53.639
 today.

00:30:54.759 --> 00:30:55.159
 He's

00:30:55.159 --> 00:30:55.419
 alive

00:30:55.419 --> 00:30:55.799
 now.

00:30:57.139 --> 00:30:57.439
 And

00:30:57.439 --> 00:30:57.699
 this is

00:30:57.699 --> 00:30:57.980
 what I

00:30:57.980 --> 00:30:58.259
 want to

00:30:58.259 --> 00:30:58.539
 impress

00:30:58.539 --> 00:30:59.179
 upon you.

00:30:59.639 --> 00:30:59.799
 I

00:30:59.799 --> 00:31:00.000
 want to

00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:00.379
 ask you

00:31:00.379 --> 00:31:00.859
 a question.

00:31:01.539 --> 00:31:01.779
 Do

00:31:01.779 --> 00:31:02.139
 you

00:31:02.139 --> 00:31:02.919
 believe

00:31:02.919 --> 00:31:04.339
 that

00:31:04.339 --> 00:31:04.500
 he's

00:31:04.500 --> 00:31:04.639
 been

00:31:04.639 --> 00:31:04.919
 raised

00:31:04.919 --> 00:31:05.119
 from

00:31:05.119 --> 00:31:05.259
 the

00:31:05.259 --> 00:31:05.539
 dead?

00:31:06.539 --> 00:31:07.019
 Do

00:31:07.019 --> 00:31:07.500
 you

00:31:07.500 --> 00:31:07.980
 believe

00:31:07.980 --> 00:31:08.379
 that

00:31:08.379 --> 00:31:11.039
 the

00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:11.579
 resurrection

00:31:11.579 --> 00:31:12.079
 of

00:31:12.079 --> 00:31:12.339
 Jesus

00:31:12.339 --> 00:31:12.799
 Christ

00:31:12.799 --> 00:31:13.079
 from

00:31:13.079 --> 00:31:13.240
 the

00:31:13.240 --> 00:31:13.480
 dead

00:31:13.480 --> 00:31:14.200
 is

00:31:14.200 --> 00:31:14.519
 the

00:31:14.519 --> 00:31:15.339
 linchpin

00:31:15.339 --> 00:31:16.220
 of the

00:31:16.220 --> 00:31:16.680
 Christian

00:31:16.680 --> 00:31:17.180
 faith.

00:31:17.700 --> 00:31:17.920
 No

00:31:17.920 --> 00:31:18.660
 resurrection,

00:31:19.120 --> 00:31:19.299
 no

00:31:19.299 --> 00:31:20.019
 Christianity,

00:31:20.480 --> 00:31:20.700
 no

00:31:20.700 --> 00:31:21.259
 resurrection,

00:31:21.539 --> 00:31:21.740
 no

00:31:21.740 --> 00:31:22.319
 salvation.

00:31:24.779 --> 00:31:25.620
 Now there

00:31:25.620 --> 00:31:25.960
 are those

00:31:25.960 --> 00:31:26.420
 people who

00:31:26.420 --> 00:31:27.599
 say that

00:31:27.599 --> 00:31:28.160
 the historic

00:31:28.160 --> 00:31:28.519
 bodily

00:31:28.519 --> 00:31:29.039
 resurrection

00:31:29.039 --> 00:31:29.440
 of Jesus

00:31:29.440 --> 00:31:29.740
 Christ

00:31:29.740 --> 00:31:29.980
 didn't

00:31:29.980 --> 00:31:30.319
 happen.

00:31:31.620 --> 00:31:31.839
 They'll

00:31:31.839 --> 00:31:32.240
 say things

00:31:32.240 --> 00:31:32.660
 like this.

00:31:33.120 --> 00:31:33.440
 Jesus

00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:34.099
 wasn't

00:31:34.099 --> 00:31:35.440
 quite dead

00:31:35.440 --> 00:31:35.720
 on the

00:31:35.720 --> 00:31:36.079
 cross.

00:31:36.440 --> 00:31:36.740
 He was

00:31:36.740 --> 00:31:37.000
 taken

00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:37.319
 down.

00:31:37.440 --> 00:31:37.640
 He was

00:31:37.640 --> 00:31:38.120
 put into

00:31:38.120 --> 00:31:38.640
 the tomb

00:31:38.640 --> 00:31:38.880
 of

00:31:38.880 --> 00:31:39.460
 Joseph.

00:31:39.860 --> 00:31:40.180
 And in

00:31:40.180 --> 00:31:40.539
 that cool

00:31:40.539 --> 00:31:40.960
 place,

00:31:41.259 --> 00:31:42.019
 he revived.

00:31:42.019 --> 00:31:46.539
 Possible,

00:31:46.960 --> 00:31:47.500
 but it's

00:31:47.500 --> 00:31:47.920
 hard to

00:31:47.920 --> 00:31:48.359
 fathom,

00:31:48.700 --> 00:31:49.339
 given that

00:31:49.339 --> 00:31:49.980
 Jesus has

00:31:49.980 --> 00:31:50.519
 probably gone

00:31:50.519 --> 00:31:51.220
 through shock,

00:31:51.319 --> 00:31:51.879
 lost a ton

00:31:51.879 --> 00:31:52.279
 of blood

00:31:52.279 --> 00:31:53.160
 through the

00:31:53.160 --> 00:31:53.779
 scourging,

00:31:54.240 --> 00:31:55.480
 nails of

00:31:55.480 --> 00:31:56.359
 crown of

00:31:56.359 --> 00:31:56.900
 thorns,

00:31:57.319 --> 00:31:58.039
 nails in

00:31:58.039 --> 00:31:59.019
 his arms,

00:31:59.160 --> 00:32:00.059
 in his wrists,

00:32:00.180 --> 00:32:00.839
 in his feet,

00:32:01.240 --> 00:32:01.859
 piercing on

00:32:01.859 --> 00:32:02.539
 his side.

00:32:02.920 --> 00:32:03.420
 The guy's

00:32:03.420 --> 00:32:03.779
 got to have

00:32:03.779 --> 00:32:04.180
 gone through

00:32:04.180 --> 00:32:04.740
 shock.

00:32:05.740 --> 00:32:05.960
 And so

00:32:05.960 --> 00:32:06.480
 you're telling

00:32:06.480 --> 00:32:07.759
 me that he's

00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:08.039
 going to be

00:32:08.039 --> 00:32:08.779
 placed in the

00:32:08.779 --> 00:32:09.180
 tomb,

00:32:09.660 --> 00:32:09.940
 revive,

00:32:09.940 --> 00:32:10.799
 and then

00:32:10.799 --> 00:32:11.220
 find a

00:32:11.220 --> 00:32:11.840
 way within

00:32:11.840 --> 00:32:12.480
 his strength

00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:13.360
 to move

00:32:13.360 --> 00:32:13.880
 the tomb

00:32:13.880 --> 00:32:14.320
 and then

00:32:14.320 --> 00:32:15.100
 somehow sneak

00:32:15.100 --> 00:32:15.799
 by the

00:32:15.799 --> 00:32:16.460
 Roman guard

00:32:16.460 --> 00:32:17.039
 without being

00:32:17.039 --> 00:32:17.480
 detected.

00:32:19.320 --> 00:32:19.920
 I don't

00:32:19.920 --> 00:32:22.500
 think so

00:32:22.500 --> 00:32:22.740
 either.

00:32:26.920 --> 00:32:27.500
 There's a

00:32:27.500 --> 00:32:27.700
 better

00:32:27.700 --> 00:32:28.320
 explanation.

00:32:30.279 --> 00:32:30.900
 Some would

00:32:30.900 --> 00:32:31.240
 say the

00:32:31.240 --> 00:32:31.640
 disciples

00:32:31.640 --> 00:32:32.240
 hallucinated,

00:32:32.740 --> 00:32:33.640
 that they

00:32:33.640 --> 00:32:34.039
 wanted to

00:32:34.039 --> 00:32:34.640
 believe that

00:32:34.640 --> 00:32:35.220
 Jesus was

00:32:35.220 --> 00:32:35.720
 alive so

00:32:35.720 --> 00:32:36.100
 much that

00:32:36.100 --> 00:32:36.700
 they actually

00:32:36.700 --> 00:32:37.259
 thought that

00:32:37.259 --> 00:32:37.660
 they saw

00:32:37.660 --> 00:32:37.860
 him.

00:32:39.940 --> 00:32:41.140
 It was a

00:32:41.140 --> 00:32:41.340
 group

00:32:41.340 --> 00:32:42.039
 hallucination.

00:32:43.180 --> 00:32:43.700
 Interesting that

00:32:43.700 --> 00:32:44.120
 they all had

00:32:44.120 --> 00:32:44.460
 the same

00:32:44.460 --> 00:32:44.759
 one.

00:32:47.240 --> 00:32:47.720
 Tough to

00:32:47.720 --> 00:32:48.019
 believe.

00:32:49.940 --> 00:32:50.480
 There's another

00:32:50.480 --> 00:32:50.860
 theory that

00:32:50.860 --> 00:32:51.160
 says the

00:32:51.160 --> 00:32:51.779
 disciples went

00:32:51.779 --> 00:32:52.259
 to the wrong

00:32:52.259 --> 00:32:52.480
 tomb.

00:32:52.539 --> 00:32:52.759
 They just

00:32:52.759 --> 00:32:53.019
 got the

00:32:53.019 --> 00:32:53.200
 wrong

00:32:53.200 --> 00:32:53.620
 address.

00:32:56.019 --> 00:32:56.480
 You just

00:32:56.480 --> 00:32:56.700
 need to

00:32:56.700 --> 00:32:57.039
 produce a

00:32:57.039 --> 00:32:57.360
 body at

00:32:57.360 --> 00:32:57.680
 that point.

00:32:59.240 --> 00:32:59.620
 Oh, you

00:32:59.620 --> 00:32:59.840
 went to the

00:32:59.840 --> 00:33:00.160
 wrong tomb.

00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:00.519
 Here's the

00:33:00.519 --> 00:33:00.940
 dead body.

00:33:01.000 --> 00:33:01.240
 Here's the

00:33:01.240 --> 00:33:01.539
 right tomb.

00:33:02.420 --> 00:33:02.900
 And Mary

00:33:02.900 --> 00:33:03.279
 and Mary

00:33:03.279 --> 00:33:03.920
 being at

00:33:03.920 --> 00:33:04.580
 the tomb

00:33:04.580 --> 00:33:05.000
 of Joseph

00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:05.700
 of Arimathea

00:33:05.700 --> 00:33:06.080
 beforehand,

00:33:06.240 --> 00:33:06.799
 that discounts

00:33:06.799 --> 00:33:07.100
 that.

00:33:07.099 --> 00:33:09.299
 But what

00:33:09.299 --> 00:33:09.879
 about the

00:33:09.879 --> 00:33:10.379
 disciples

00:33:10.379 --> 00:33:11.459
 stealing his

00:33:11.459 --> 00:33:11.799
 body?

00:33:13.000 --> 00:33:13.859
 The very

00:33:13.859 --> 00:33:15.259
 thing that

00:33:15.259 --> 00:33:15.619
 the Jewish

00:33:15.619 --> 00:33:16.559
 authorities were

00:33:16.559 --> 00:33:17.819
 fearful of.

00:33:18.279 --> 00:33:18.959
 Could they

00:33:18.959 --> 00:33:19.579
 have done

00:33:19.579 --> 00:33:20.019
 that?

00:33:25.899 --> 00:33:26.759
 The best

00:33:26.759 --> 00:33:27.759
 explanation for

00:33:27.759 --> 00:33:28.439
 the empty

00:33:28.439 --> 00:33:29.139
 tomb is that

00:33:29.139 --> 00:33:31.679
 Jesus was

00:33:31.679 --> 00:33:32.379
 miraculously

00:33:32.379 --> 00:33:33.000
 raised from

00:33:33.000 --> 00:33:33.319
 the dead.

00:33:33.319 --> 00:33:36.599
 here's how

00:33:36.599 --> 00:33:37.159
 you counter

00:33:37.159 --> 00:33:38.240
 the claim

00:33:38.240 --> 00:33:38.679
 about

00:33:38.679 --> 00:33:38.899
 the

00:33:38.899 --> 00:33:39.259
 disciple

00:33:39.259 --> 00:33:39.700
 stealing

00:33:39.700 --> 00:33:39.899
 his

00:33:39.899 --> 00:33:40.200
 body.

00:33:42.839 --> 00:33:43.480
 Did you

00:33:43.480 --> 00:33:43.819
 know that

00:33:43.819 --> 00:33:44.299
 ten of the

00:33:44.299 --> 00:33:44.559
 eleven

00:33:44.559 --> 00:33:45.159
 disciples,

00:33:46.759 --> 00:33:48.119
 after Jesus'

00:33:48.319 --> 00:33:48.720
 death and

00:33:48.720 --> 00:33:49.339
 resurrection,

00:33:50.799 --> 00:33:51.399
 they were

00:33:51.399 --> 00:33:51.759
 radically

00:33:51.759 --> 00:33:52.200
 changed

00:33:52.200 --> 00:33:52.539
 people?

00:33:54.179 --> 00:33:54.500
 Remember

00:33:54.500 --> 00:33:54.960
 what happened

00:33:54.960 --> 00:33:55.740
 in Gethsemane?

00:33:56.599 --> 00:33:57.179
 They scattered.

00:33:58.659 --> 00:33:59.159
 They split

00:33:59.159 --> 00:33:59.500
 on them

00:33:59.500 --> 00:34:01.839
 like cowards.

00:34:03.319 --> 00:34:04.559
 And after

00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:05.200
 the resurrection,

00:34:06.200 --> 00:34:07.980
 they proclaim

00:34:07.980 --> 00:34:09.119
 him like

00:34:09.119 --> 00:34:09.639
 courageous

00:34:09.639 --> 00:34:10.299
 lions.

00:34:11.980 --> 00:34:12.579
 And ten

00:34:12.579 --> 00:34:13.299
 of eleven

00:34:13.299 --> 00:34:14.659
 go to

00:34:14.659 --> 00:34:15.440
 martyrs'

00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:16.059
 deaths,

00:34:16.699 --> 00:34:17.099
 not only

00:34:17.099 --> 00:34:17.719
 proclaiming

00:34:17.719 --> 00:34:18.279
 Messiah

00:34:18.279 --> 00:34:18.940
 crucified,

00:34:19.579 --> 00:34:20.480
 but Messiah

00:34:20.480 --> 00:34:22.059
 raised from

00:34:22.059 --> 00:34:22.619
 the dead.

00:34:23.539 --> 00:34:23.860
 They had

00:34:23.860 --> 00:34:24.440
 seen him.

00:34:25.059 --> 00:34:25.440
 Now let me

00:34:25.440 --> 00:34:26.119
 ask you this.

00:34:27.319 --> 00:34:28.159
 If they

00:34:28.159 --> 00:34:28.799
 had stolen

00:34:28.799 --> 00:34:29.559
 his body

00:34:29.559 --> 00:34:30.299
 from the

00:34:30.299 --> 00:34:30.699
 grave,

00:34:30.799 --> 00:34:31.079
 from the

00:34:31.079 --> 00:34:31.460
 tomb,

00:34:31.460 --> 00:34:33.519
 how could

00:34:33.519 --> 00:34:33.880
 they die

00:34:33.880 --> 00:34:34.380
 for that?

00:34:36.519 --> 00:34:37.280
 How could

00:34:37.280 --> 00:34:38.119
 someone die

00:34:38.119 --> 00:34:38.599
 for something

00:34:38.599 --> 00:34:39.039
 that they

00:34:39.039 --> 00:34:39.579
 know is a

00:34:39.579 --> 00:34:39.900
 lie?

00:34:41.220 --> 00:34:41.480
 You know

00:34:41.480 --> 00:34:41.639
 what the

00:34:41.639 --> 00:34:41.820
 better

00:34:41.820 --> 00:34:42.199
 explanation

00:34:42.199 --> 00:34:42.559
 is?

00:34:44.119 --> 00:34:44.659
 He was

00:34:44.659 --> 00:34:44.960
 raised from

00:34:44.960 --> 00:34:45.240
 the dead.

00:34:46.000 --> 00:34:46.599
 And they

00:34:46.599 --> 00:34:47.300
 saw him

00:34:47.300 --> 00:34:47.699
 with their

00:34:47.699 --> 00:34:48.280
 own eyes.

00:34:48.679 --> 00:34:49.260
 And it

00:34:49.260 --> 00:34:50.079
 changed them

00:34:50.079 --> 00:34:50.500
 forever.

00:34:50.900 --> 00:34:51.340
 And they

00:34:51.340 --> 00:34:52.559
 went proclaiming

00:34:52.559 --> 00:34:53.300
 the Messiah

00:34:53.300 --> 00:34:54.280
 crucified,

00:34:54.880 --> 00:34:55.320
 raised from

00:34:55.320 --> 00:34:55.659
 the dead,

00:34:55.840 --> 00:34:56.300
 and I don't

00:34:56.300 --> 00:34:56.659
 care what

00:34:56.659 --> 00:34:57.019
 you do to

00:34:57.019 --> 00:34:57.240
 me.

00:34:57.240 --> 00:34:57.300
 I don't

00:34:57.300 --> 00:34:58.500
 care what

00:34:58.500 --> 00:34:58.940
 you do to

00:34:58.940 --> 00:34:59.240
 me.

00:34:59.240 --> 00:34:59.300
 I don't

00:34:59.300 --> 00:34:59.440
 care what

00:34:59.440 --> 00:35:01.440
 you do to

00:35:01.440 --> 00:35:03.440
 do to

00:35:03.440 --> 00:35:04.039
 the

00:35:04.039 --> 00:35:04.280
 best

00:35:04.280 --> 00:35:04.880
 explanation

00:35:04.880 --> 00:35:05.260
 for the

00:35:05.260 --> 00:35:05.820
 empty tomb

00:35:05.820 --> 00:35:06.380
 is that

00:35:06.380 --> 00:35:07.400
 Jesus was

00:35:07.400 --> 00:35:07.960
 actually

00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:09.320
 raised from

00:35:09.320 --> 00:35:09.700
 the dead.

00:35:11.380 --> 00:35:12.119
 Do you

00:35:12.119 --> 00:35:12.720
 believe that

00:35:12.720 --> 00:35:13.240
 Jesus was

00:35:13.240 --> 00:35:13.639
 raised from

00:35:13.639 --> 00:35:13.920
 the dead?

00:35:15.079 --> 00:35:15.740
 Do you

00:35:15.740 --> 00:35:16.079
 believe it

00:35:16.079 --> 00:35:16.340
 was a

00:35:16.340 --> 00:35:16.700
 historic

00:35:16.700 --> 00:35:17.179
 event in

00:35:17.179 --> 00:35:17.619
 space and

00:35:17.619 --> 00:35:17.940
 time?

00:35:19.079 --> 00:35:19.780
 Do you

00:35:19.780 --> 00:35:20.159
 believe it

00:35:20.159 --> 00:35:20.400
 really

00:35:20.400 --> 00:35:20.780
 happened?

00:35:23.260 --> 00:35:23.780
 The

00:35:23.780 --> 00:35:24.280
 resurrection

00:35:24.280 --> 00:35:25.320
 validates who

00:35:25.320 --> 00:35:25.920
 Jesus claimed

00:35:25.920 --> 00:35:26.200
 to be.

00:35:26.820 --> 00:35:27.480
 Paul in

00:35:27.480 --> 00:35:27.980
 Romans 1

00:35:27.980 --> 00:35:28.539
 says the

00:35:28.539 --> 00:35:29.099
 resurrection

00:35:29.099 --> 00:35:29.920
 declares that

00:35:29.920 --> 00:35:30.280
 he's the

00:35:30.280 --> 00:35:30.780
 son of

00:35:30.780 --> 00:35:31.240
 God.

00:35:31.440 --> 00:35:31.920
 King of

00:35:31.920 --> 00:35:32.159
 kings,

00:35:32.519 --> 00:35:32.880
 Lord of

00:35:32.880 --> 00:35:33.159
 lords,

00:35:33.880 --> 00:35:34.340
 overall,

00:35:35.480 --> 00:35:35.760
 all

00:35:35.760 --> 00:35:36.260
 authority.

00:35:38.260 --> 00:35:38.500
 The

00:35:38.500 --> 00:35:39.200
 crucified

00:35:39.200 --> 00:35:40.000
 and risen

00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:40.679
 Messiah,

00:35:42.000 --> 00:35:42.420
 God in

00:35:42.420 --> 00:35:42.920
 the flesh,

00:35:45.320 --> 00:35:45.700
 raised,

00:35:45.880 --> 00:35:46.179
 risen,

00:35:46.639 --> 00:35:47.400
 reigning.

00:35:49.039 --> 00:35:49.440
 It also

00:35:49.440 --> 00:35:50.179
 goes to

00:35:50.179 --> 00:35:50.880
 Maun.

00:35:51.240 --> 00:35:51.960
 If he

00:35:51.960 --> 00:35:52.780
 said he

00:35:52.780 --> 00:35:53.079
 was going

00:35:53.079 --> 00:35:53.559
 to die

00:35:53.559 --> 00:35:54.139
 in the

00:35:54.139 --> 00:35:55.079
 hands of

00:35:55.079 --> 00:35:55.820
 these people

00:35:55.820 --> 00:35:56.320
 and then

00:35:56.320 --> 00:35:56.920
 be raised

00:35:56.920 --> 00:35:57.579
 three days

00:35:57.579 --> 00:35:57.920
 later,

00:35:58.039 --> 00:35:58.420
 and if it

00:35:58.420 --> 00:35:59.039
 was true,

00:35:59.320 --> 00:35:59.720
 then I

00:35:59.720 --> 00:36:00.200
 wonder what

00:36:00.200 --> 00:36:00.659
 else he

00:36:00.659 --> 00:36:01.099
 said.

00:36:01.099 --> 00:36:01.699
 And whether

00:36:01.699 --> 00:36:02.539
 that's true,

00:36:02.659 --> 00:36:03.059
 like what he

00:36:03.059 --> 00:36:03.460
 said about

00:36:03.460 --> 00:36:03.880
 himself,

00:36:04.179 --> 00:36:04.539
 like what he

00:36:04.539 --> 00:36:04.920
 said about

00:36:04.920 --> 00:36:05.440
 our nature

00:36:05.440 --> 00:36:05.920
 as human

00:36:05.920 --> 00:36:06.319
 beings,

00:36:06.380 --> 00:36:06.639
 that we

00:36:06.639 --> 00:36:06.980
 need a

00:36:06.980 --> 00:36:07.259
 savior,

00:36:07.619 --> 00:36:08.000
 and what

00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:08.440
 about is

00:36:08.440 --> 00:36:08.679
 going to

00:36:08.679 --> 00:36:09.139
 happen in

00:36:09.139 --> 00:36:09.579
 the future.

00:36:11.159 --> 00:36:12.059
 It adds

00:36:12.059 --> 00:36:13.980
 validity to

00:36:13.980 --> 00:36:14.420
 it all.

00:36:16.579 --> 00:36:17.000
 The

00:36:17.000 --> 00:36:17.440
 resurrection

00:36:17.440 --> 00:36:18.279
 validates who

00:36:18.279 --> 00:36:18.839
 Jesus claimed

00:36:18.839 --> 00:36:19.259
 to be and

00:36:19.259 --> 00:36:19.539
 what he

00:36:19.539 --> 00:36:19.940
 said.

00:36:20.319 --> 00:36:20.759
 The second

00:36:20.759 --> 00:36:21.480
 thing coming

00:36:21.480 --> 00:36:21.960
 out of this,

00:36:22.039 --> 00:36:22.759
 the resurrection

00:36:22.759 --> 00:36:25.119
 verifies that

00:36:25.119 --> 00:36:25.960
 the payment that

00:36:25.960 --> 00:36:26.639
 Jesus made

00:36:26.639 --> 00:36:27.619
 for sin on

00:36:27.619 --> 00:36:28.740
 Friday,

00:36:29.559 --> 00:36:30.599
 cleared on

00:36:30.599 --> 00:36:31.320
 Sunday.

00:36:34.320 --> 00:36:35.059
 You ever

00:36:35.059 --> 00:36:35.480
 make a

00:36:35.480 --> 00:36:36.019
 purchase and

00:36:36.019 --> 00:36:36.320
 you're looking

00:36:36.320 --> 00:36:36.720
 at your

00:36:36.720 --> 00:36:37.639
 kind of bank

00:36:37.639 --> 00:36:38.800
 app and

00:36:38.800 --> 00:36:39.139
 you see

00:36:39.139 --> 00:36:40.099
 something's

00:36:40.099 --> 00:36:40.940
 pending?

00:36:43.519 --> 00:36:44.400
 Saturday was

00:36:44.400 --> 00:36:45.559
 like pending

00:36:45.559 --> 00:36:46.179
 payment,

00:36:46.940 --> 00:36:48.159
 and Sunday

00:36:48.159 --> 00:36:50.179
 it cleared.

00:36:50.179 --> 00:36:52.679
 the payment

00:36:52.679 --> 00:36:53.219
 that Jesus

00:36:53.219 --> 00:36:54.119
 made for sin,

00:36:54.199 --> 00:36:55.019
 he bore God's

00:36:55.019 --> 00:36:55.480
 wrath on

00:36:55.480 --> 00:36:57.579
 Friday when

00:36:57.579 --> 00:36:58.619
 he was raised

00:36:58.619 --> 00:36:59.099
 from the dead

00:36:59.099 --> 00:36:59.679
 on Sunday.

00:36:59.819 --> 00:37:00.119
 It's the

00:37:00.119 --> 00:37:00.699
 declaration,

00:37:01.219 --> 00:37:01.940
 paid in full,

00:37:02.859 --> 00:37:03.339
 and it

00:37:03.339 --> 00:37:03.779
 cleared.

00:37:05.779 --> 00:37:06.539
 It cleared

00:37:06.539 --> 00:37:06.899
 for you,

00:37:06.980 --> 00:37:07.259
 it cleared

00:37:07.259 --> 00:37:07.639
 for me.

00:37:09.059 --> 00:37:09.539
 Those who

00:37:09.539 --> 00:37:10.179
 trust in

00:37:10.179 --> 00:37:10.799
 Christ are

00:37:10.799 --> 00:37:12.639
 confident that

00:37:12.639 --> 00:37:13.339
 Christ's payment

00:37:13.339 --> 00:37:14.239
 for their sin

00:37:14.239 --> 00:37:15.519
 paid for their

00:37:15.519 --> 00:37:16.319
 sin in full.

00:37:17.259 --> 00:37:18.019
 No more

00:37:18.019 --> 00:37:18.339
 wrath.

00:37:19.159 --> 00:37:19.319
 The

00:37:19.319 --> 00:37:20.000
 resurrection

00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:21.340
 is a

00:37:21.340 --> 00:37:22.260
 stamp that

00:37:22.260 --> 00:37:23.039
 verifies that.

00:37:24.300 --> 00:37:24.900
 Payment

00:37:24.900 --> 00:37:25.940
 accepted.

00:37:27.559 --> 00:37:28.139
 The

00:37:28.139 --> 00:37:28.639
 resurrection

00:37:28.639 --> 00:37:30.780
 also provides

00:37:30.780 --> 00:37:31.420
 power for

00:37:31.420 --> 00:37:32.139
 Christians over

00:37:32.139 --> 00:37:32.579
 sin.

00:37:33.019 --> 00:37:33.539
 Just really

00:37:33.539 --> 00:37:33.980
 brief,

00:37:34.460 --> 00:37:35.159
 when a

00:37:35.159 --> 00:37:35.639
 sinner

00:37:35.639 --> 00:37:36.739
 believes in

00:37:36.739 --> 00:37:37.280
 Jesus for

00:37:37.280 --> 00:37:37.659
 the first

00:37:37.659 --> 00:37:37.980
 time,

00:37:38.260 --> 00:37:38.760
 Romans 6

00:37:38.760 --> 00:37:39.079
 tells us

00:37:39.079 --> 00:37:39.820
 they're united

00:37:39.820 --> 00:37:40.380
 to Christ

00:37:40.380 --> 00:37:40.719
 in his

00:37:40.719 --> 00:37:41.099
 death and

00:37:41.099 --> 00:37:41.539
 resurrection.

00:37:41.780 --> 00:37:41.920
 They're

00:37:41.920 --> 00:37:42.280
 dead,

00:37:42.480 --> 00:37:43.320
 they're dead

00:37:43.320 --> 00:37:43.760
 to the

00:37:43.760 --> 00:37:44.519
 penalty of

00:37:44.519 --> 00:37:44.920
 sin,

00:37:45.179 --> 00:37:45.519
 and that

00:37:45.519 --> 00:37:46.480
 they're alive

00:37:46.480 --> 00:37:47.179
 to God

00:37:47.179 --> 00:37:48.280
 with resurrection

00:37:48.280 --> 00:37:49.019
 power.

00:37:50.000 --> 00:37:50.539
 So you

00:37:50.539 --> 00:37:50.699
 know what

00:37:50.699 --> 00:37:51.019
 this means

00:37:51.019 --> 00:37:51.420
 for us?

00:37:52.219 --> 00:37:52.639
 Brother and

00:37:52.639 --> 00:37:52.940
 sister in

00:37:52.940 --> 00:37:53.099
 Christ.

00:37:53.199 --> 00:37:53.360
 Okay,

00:37:53.440 --> 00:37:53.840
 when I was

00:37:53.840 --> 00:37:54.519
 in high

00:37:54.519 --> 00:37:54.860
 school,

00:37:55.159 --> 00:37:55.539
 I worked

00:37:55.539 --> 00:37:55.900
 for a guy,

00:37:56.000 --> 00:37:56.380
 we built

00:37:56.380 --> 00:37:56.880
 decks,

00:37:57.139 --> 00:37:57.420
 and we

00:37:57.420 --> 00:37:57.800
 would work

00:37:57.800 --> 00:37:58.260
 all day,

00:37:58.380 --> 00:37:58.579
 and then we

00:37:58.579 --> 00:37:58.760
 would go

00:37:58.760 --> 00:37:59.239
 back to his

00:37:59.239 --> 00:37:59.500
 house,

00:37:59.599 --> 00:38:00.320
 single guy,

00:38:00.679 --> 00:38:01.460
 and then I

00:38:01.460 --> 00:38:01.739
 would like

00:38:01.739 --> 00:38:02.219
 walk in,

00:38:02.300 --> 00:38:02.699
 and he would

00:38:02.699 --> 00:38:03.300
 like tackle

00:38:03.300 --> 00:38:03.679
 me,

00:38:04.340 --> 00:38:04.659
 and we

00:38:04.659 --> 00:38:04.940
 would like

00:38:04.940 --> 00:38:05.780
 wrestle all

00:38:05.780 --> 00:38:06.179
 through his

00:38:06.179 --> 00:38:06.639
 house,

00:38:07.059 --> 00:38:07.880
 going over

00:38:07.880 --> 00:38:09.019
 all sorts of

00:38:09.019 --> 00:38:09.460
 furniture,

00:38:09.900 --> 00:38:10.360
 and we would

00:38:10.360 --> 00:38:11.039
 get each other

00:38:11.039 --> 00:38:11.360
 in these

00:38:11.360 --> 00:38:12.519
 submission holds,

00:38:12.780 --> 00:38:13.320
 waiting for

00:38:13.320 --> 00:38:14.059
 one of us to

00:38:14.059 --> 00:38:14.940
 tap out.

00:38:14.940 --> 00:38:16.019
 it happened

00:38:16.019 --> 00:38:16.440
 like every

00:38:16.440 --> 00:38:16.659
 day.

00:38:19.059 --> 00:38:19.659
 I got

00:38:19.659 --> 00:38:20.039
 tough,

00:38:20.220 --> 00:38:20.619
 sort of,

00:38:21.740 --> 00:38:23.559
 but Christian,

00:38:23.639 --> 00:38:24.000
 you might be

00:38:24.000 --> 00:38:24.539
 sitting here,

00:38:24.760 --> 00:38:25.099
 and there's

00:38:25.099 --> 00:38:25.700
 some sin

00:38:25.700 --> 00:38:26.099
 that's got

00:38:26.099 --> 00:38:26.740
 this submission

00:38:26.740 --> 00:38:27.360
 hold over

00:38:27.360 --> 00:38:27.960
 your life.

00:38:29.019 --> 00:38:29.260
 Do you know

00:38:29.260 --> 00:38:29.619
 what you say

00:38:29.619 --> 00:38:29.960
 to it?

00:38:31.639 --> 00:38:32.079
 Christ

00:38:32.079 --> 00:38:33.480
 was raised

00:38:33.480 --> 00:38:33.820
 from the

00:38:33.820 --> 00:38:34.099
 dead.

00:38:35.000 --> 00:38:35.619
 The next

00:38:35.619 --> 00:38:36.340
 time you are

00:38:36.340 --> 00:38:36.800
 tempted,

00:38:37.360 --> 00:38:37.599
 you know

00:38:37.599 --> 00:38:38.159
 what you say?

00:38:38.480 --> 00:38:39.139
 Jesus was

00:38:39.139 --> 00:38:39.559
 raised from

00:38:39.559 --> 00:38:40.000
 the dead,

00:38:40.320 --> 00:38:40.720
 and I've

00:38:40.720 --> 00:38:41.159
 been placed

00:38:41.159 --> 00:38:41.860
 into Christ,

00:38:41.860 --> 00:38:42.240
 I've been

00:38:42.240 --> 00:38:42.820
 placed into

00:38:42.820 --> 00:38:43.420
 that power,

00:38:44.280 --> 00:38:44.740
 so I can

00:38:44.740 --> 00:38:45.160
 say no.

00:38:48.860 --> 00:38:49.300
 The

00:38:49.300 --> 00:38:49.760
 resurrection

00:38:49.760 --> 00:38:50.380
 of Christ

00:38:50.380 --> 00:38:51.140
 provides

00:38:51.140 --> 00:38:52.680
 sin-breaking

00:38:52.680 --> 00:38:53.460
 power for

00:38:53.460 --> 00:38:53.840
 Christians,

00:38:53.940 --> 00:38:54.320
 and if you're

00:38:54.320 --> 00:38:54.860
 a non-Christian

00:38:54.860 --> 00:38:55.180
 here,

00:38:55.440 --> 00:38:55.880
 and you want

00:38:55.880 --> 00:38:56.340
 to be set

00:38:56.340 --> 00:38:56.720
 free from

00:38:56.720 --> 00:38:57.180
 the power

00:38:57.180 --> 00:38:57.640
 of sin,

00:38:58.180 --> 00:38:58.760
 you go to

00:38:58.760 --> 00:38:59.280
 Jesus.

00:39:01.019 --> 00:39:01.400
 He paid

00:39:01.400 --> 00:39:01.880
 the penalty

00:39:01.880 --> 00:39:02.900
 and broke

00:39:02.900 --> 00:39:03.420
 the power,

00:39:03.900 --> 00:39:04.120
 but the

00:39:04.120 --> 00:39:04.519
 last,

00:39:04.640 --> 00:39:05.800
 the last

00:39:05.800 --> 00:39:06.780
 piece

00:39:06.780 --> 00:39:08.360
 of this

00:39:08.360 --> 00:39:08.940
 resurrection

00:39:08.940 --> 00:39:09.740
 of Christ

00:39:09.740 --> 00:39:10.200
 that makes

00:39:10.200 --> 00:39:10.660
 a difference

00:39:10.660 --> 00:39:10.940
 in our

00:39:10.940 --> 00:39:11.220
 life,

00:39:11.860 --> 00:39:13.160
 it gives

00:39:13.160 --> 00:39:13.519
 us hope

00:39:13.519 --> 00:39:14.000
 beyond the

00:39:14.000 --> 00:39:14.260
 grave.

00:39:16.240 --> 00:39:16.599
 Jesus'

00:39:16.780 --> 00:39:17.160
 resurrection

00:39:17.160 --> 00:39:17.599
 from the

00:39:17.599 --> 00:39:18.160
 dead was

00:39:18.160 --> 00:39:18.960
 his decisive

00:39:18.960 --> 00:39:19.880
 victory over

00:39:19.880 --> 00:39:20.200
 death.

00:39:21.840 --> 00:39:22.500
 Not only did

00:39:22.500 --> 00:39:22.840
 he conquer

00:39:22.840 --> 00:39:23.180
 sin,

00:39:23.220 --> 00:39:23.599
 he conquered

00:39:23.599 --> 00:39:24.059
 death.

00:39:26.680 --> 00:39:26.900
 And so

00:39:26.900 --> 00:39:27.220
 for those

00:39:27.220 --> 00:39:27.579
 of us who

00:39:27.579 --> 00:39:28.000
 believe in

00:39:28.000 --> 00:39:28.240
 Jesus,

00:39:28.420 --> 00:39:28.800
 we have

00:39:28.800 --> 00:39:29.440
 this confidence

00:39:29.440 --> 00:39:30.019
 that we

00:39:30.019 --> 00:39:30.579
 too will be

00:39:30.579 --> 00:39:31.200
 raised as

00:39:31.200 --> 00:39:31.579
 he has

00:39:31.579 --> 00:39:32.099
 been raised.

00:39:35.059 --> 00:39:35.500
 In

00:39:35.500 --> 00:39:35.940
 John 11,

00:39:36.039 --> 00:39:36.519
 Jesus says

00:39:36.519 --> 00:39:36.960
 this thing

00:39:36.960 --> 00:39:37.599
 to Martha,

00:39:37.860 --> 00:39:38.340
 the sister

00:39:38.340 --> 00:39:39.079
 of Lazarus,

00:39:39.120 --> 00:39:39.380
 who was a

00:39:39.380 --> 00:39:39.700
 bit of a

00:39:39.700 --> 00:39:40.099
 pit bull.

00:39:40.099 --> 00:39:41.920
 he says

00:39:41.920 --> 00:39:42.199
 to her,

00:39:42.299 --> 00:39:42.759
 I am the

00:39:42.759 --> 00:39:43.279
 resurrection

00:39:43.279 --> 00:39:43.900
 and the

00:39:43.900 --> 00:39:44.139
 life.

00:39:44.259 --> 00:39:44.579
 Whoever,

00:39:45.299 --> 00:39:45.679
 though he

00:39:45.679 --> 00:39:45.960
 die,

00:39:46.059 --> 00:39:46.619
 yet shall

00:39:46.619 --> 00:39:47.199
 he live.

00:39:47.259 --> 00:39:47.400
 Whoever

00:39:47.400 --> 00:39:47.940
 believes me,

00:39:48.019 --> 00:39:48.360
 though he

00:39:48.360 --> 00:39:48.699
 die,

00:39:49.079 --> 00:39:49.619
 yet shall

00:39:49.619 --> 00:39:49.960
 he live.

00:39:50.019 --> 00:39:50.219
 Do you

00:39:50.219 --> 00:39:50.819
 believe this?

00:39:52.819 --> 00:39:53.239
 You see,

00:39:53.400 --> 00:39:53.719
 Jesus'

00:39:54.159 --> 00:39:55.079
 own death

00:39:55.079 --> 00:39:55.900
 and resurrection

00:39:55.900 --> 00:39:56.980
 is the

00:39:56.980 --> 00:39:58.299
 grounds for

00:39:58.299 --> 00:39:59.239
 our confidence

00:39:59.239 --> 00:40:00.159
 that we

00:40:00.159 --> 00:40:00.880
 too will be

00:40:00.880 --> 00:40:01.400
 raised from

00:40:01.400 --> 00:40:01.779
 the dead.

00:40:01.779 --> 00:40:02.420
 So you know

00:40:02.420 --> 00:40:02.659
 what that

00:40:02.659 --> 00:40:03.099
 means?

00:40:04.319 --> 00:40:05.039
 When you think

00:40:05.039 --> 00:40:05.599
 about your own

00:40:05.599 --> 00:40:05.819
 death,

00:40:05.900 --> 00:40:06.360
 and I know

00:40:06.360 --> 00:40:06.779
 you do,

00:40:06.780 --> 00:40:09.300
 when you

00:40:09.300 --> 00:40:09.740
 think about

00:40:09.740 --> 00:40:10.160
 your own

00:40:10.160 --> 00:40:10.400
 death,

00:40:10.480 --> 00:40:10.780
 here's how

00:40:10.780 --> 00:40:11.040
 you need

00:40:11.040 --> 00:40:11.320
 to think

00:40:11.320 --> 00:40:11.740
 about it.

00:40:12.900 --> 00:40:13.620
 Your own

00:40:13.620 --> 00:40:14.220
 death is

00:40:14.220 --> 00:40:15.900
 like a

00:40:15.900 --> 00:40:16.280
 short,

00:40:16.640 --> 00:40:16.820
 dark

00:40:16.820 --> 00:40:17.300
 hallway

00:40:17.300 --> 00:40:19.500
 that leads

00:40:19.500 --> 00:40:20.220
 to this

00:40:20.220 --> 00:40:21.040
 bright

00:40:21.040 --> 00:40:22.200
 place

00:40:22.200 --> 00:40:23.240
 where your

00:40:23.240 --> 00:40:24.060
 resurrected

00:40:24.060 --> 00:40:24.700
 king

00:40:24.700 --> 00:40:25.720
 awaits you.

00:40:25.720 --> 00:40:26.380
 That's all

00:40:26.380 --> 00:40:27.000
 that it is.

00:40:27.980 --> 00:40:28.400
 That's all

00:40:28.400 --> 00:40:28.960
 that it is.

00:40:31.080 --> 00:40:31.580
 In

00:40:31.580 --> 00:40:31.920
 closing,

00:40:32.019 --> 00:40:32.240
 I want to

00:40:32.240 --> 00:40:32.740
 ask you two

00:40:32.740 --> 00:40:33.420
 questions this

00:40:33.420 --> 00:40:33.700
 morning.

00:40:33.700 --> 00:40:33.760
 Thank you.

00:40:36.780 --> 00:40:38.400
 First one is

00:40:38.400 --> 00:40:38.660
 simple.

00:40:38.960 --> 00:40:39.240
 Did the

00:40:39.240 --> 00:40:39.640
 resurrection

00:40:39.640 --> 00:40:40.140
 of Jesus

00:40:40.140 --> 00:40:40.600
 Christ

00:40:40.600 --> 00:40:41.519
 really happen?

00:40:43.019 --> 00:40:43.400
 Did it?

00:40:44.280 --> 00:40:44.920
 If you're

00:40:44.920 --> 00:40:45.720
 saying no,

00:40:46.700 --> 00:40:47.000
 eat,

00:40:47.120 --> 00:40:47.280
 drink,

00:40:47.340 --> 00:40:47.560
 and be

00:40:47.560 --> 00:40:47.940
 merry,

00:40:48.800 --> 00:40:49.340
 for there's

00:40:49.340 --> 00:40:49.960
 nothing else.

00:40:51.860 --> 00:40:52.620
 But are you

00:40:52.620 --> 00:40:53.260
 saying no

00:40:53.260 --> 00:40:53.740
 because you

00:40:53.740 --> 00:40:54.540
 don't actually

00:40:54.540 --> 00:40:55.220
 want to deal

00:40:55.220 --> 00:40:55.660
 with the

00:40:55.660 --> 00:40:56.200
 information?

00:40:59.420 --> 00:41:00.080
 Don't say

00:41:00.080 --> 00:41:00.500
 no because

00:41:00.500 --> 00:41:00.860
 of that.

00:41:03.060 --> 00:41:03.820
 But if you

00:41:03.820 --> 00:41:04.700
 say yes,

00:41:05.360 --> 00:41:05.660
 yes,

00:41:05.740 --> 00:41:06.140
 I believe

00:41:06.140 --> 00:41:06.320
 it.

00:41:06.320 --> 00:41:06.900
 I believe

00:41:06.900 --> 00:41:07.420
 it happened.

00:41:08.100 --> 00:41:08.420
 Then you

00:41:08.420 --> 00:41:08.980
 need to go

00:41:08.980 --> 00:41:09.280
 on to the

00:41:09.280 --> 00:41:09.840
 second question.

00:41:10.900 --> 00:41:11.160
 And the

00:41:11.160 --> 00:41:11.660
 second question

00:41:11.660 --> 00:41:12.059
 is this.

00:41:13.160 --> 00:41:13.720
 If the

00:41:13.720 --> 00:41:14.180
 resurrection

00:41:14.180 --> 00:41:14.700
 of Jesus

00:41:14.700 --> 00:41:15.380
 Christ from

00:41:15.380 --> 00:41:15.760
 the grave

00:41:15.760 --> 00:41:16.340
 actually

00:41:16.340 --> 00:41:17.380
 happened and

00:41:17.380 --> 00:41:18.260
 it declares

00:41:18.260 --> 00:41:18.840
 him to be

00:41:18.840 --> 00:41:19.360
 the son of

00:41:19.360 --> 00:41:19.640
 God,

00:41:19.960 --> 00:41:20.300
 Lord of

00:41:20.300 --> 00:41:20.539
 lords,

00:41:20.780 --> 00:41:21.120
 king of

00:41:21.120 --> 00:41:21.380
 kings,

00:41:21.680 --> 00:41:22.059
 he's got

00:41:22.059 --> 00:41:22.740
 authority over

00:41:22.740 --> 00:41:23.559
 all things,

00:41:23.820 --> 00:41:24.059
 then the

00:41:24.059 --> 00:41:25.019
 question becomes

00:41:25.019 --> 00:41:26.660
 have you

00:41:26.660 --> 00:41:27.000
 submitted

00:41:27.000 --> 00:41:27.640
 yourself to

00:41:27.640 --> 00:41:27.840
 him?

00:41:29.539 --> 00:41:30.120
 Have you

00:41:30.120 --> 00:41:30.559
 bowed your

00:41:30.559 --> 00:41:31.360
 knee to

00:41:31.360 --> 00:41:31.820
 the risen

00:41:31.820 --> 00:41:32.260
 king?

00:41:33.380 --> 00:41:34.039
 Have you

00:41:34.039 --> 00:41:35.719
 put all

00:41:35.719 --> 00:41:37.139
 of your

00:41:37.139 --> 00:41:39.119
 eggs in

00:41:39.119 --> 00:41:40.259
 his

00:41:40.259 --> 00:41:41.940
 basket?

00:41:45.360 --> 00:41:45.960
 He is

00:41:45.960 --> 00:41:46.259
 risen.

00:41:48.619 --> 00:41:49.279
 He is

00:41:49.279 --> 00:41:49.639
 reigning.

00:41:51.539 --> 00:41:52.340
 And one day

00:41:52.340 --> 00:41:52.699
 he's going to

00:41:52.699 --> 00:41:53.119
 return.

00:41:54.559 --> 00:41:55.579
 And we rejoice

00:41:55.579 --> 00:41:56.119
 in it all.

00:41:56.340 --> 00:41:56.800
 Let's pray.

00:41:56.800 --> 00:42:00.000
 Lord Jesus,

00:42:00.240 --> 00:42:00.860
 there is no

00:42:00.860 --> 00:42:01.240
 one like

00:42:01.240 --> 00:42:01.480
 you.

00:42:03.100 --> 00:42:03.940
 You are our

00:42:03.940 --> 00:42:04.600
 risen king

00:42:04.600 --> 00:42:05.120
 and we

00:42:05.120 --> 00:42:06.620
 gladly declare

00:42:06.620 --> 00:42:07.160
 it and

00:42:07.160 --> 00:42:07.880
 proclaim it.

00:42:08.539 --> 00:42:09.080
 And so we're

00:42:09.080 --> 00:42:09.700
 going to sing

00:42:09.700 --> 00:42:10.500
 to you now

00:42:10.500 --> 00:42:11.440
 and we know

00:42:11.440 --> 00:42:12.080
 that you hear

00:42:12.080 --> 00:42:12.539
 us.

00:42:13.519 --> 00:42:14.400
 You are the

00:42:14.400 --> 00:42:14.940
 risen one.

00:42:15.060 --> 00:42:15.820
 You are the

00:42:15.820 --> 00:42:17.220
 king and we

00:42:17.220 --> 00:42:18.019
 will crown you

00:42:18.019 --> 00:42:18.539
 with many

00:42:18.539 --> 00:42:19.200
 crowns.

00:42:19.280 --> 00:42:19.760
 It's in your

00:42:19.760 --> 00:42:20.400
 name we pray.

00:42:21.519 --> 00:42:21.840
 Amen.

00:42:21.840 --> 00:42:21.980
 Amen.

00:42:21.980 --> 00:42:22.019
 Amen.

00:42:22.019 --> 00:42:22.060
 Amen.
