00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:08.700
 Amen. You know, every week Tread comes up and prays and he leaves palmy sweat marks on the pulpit.

00:00:08.859 --> 00:00:20.019
 He prays so hard. I appreciate that, brother. Our passage this morning is John 11 verses 1 through 44.

00:00:20.679 --> 00:00:26.359
 So if you would find that in your Bibles. If you didn't bring a Bible, we have Bibles in the seats in front of you.

00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:34.960
 And you can find this on page 843 of those Bibles. So no excuses. Have your Bibles open and let's read together God's Word.

00:00:35.179 --> 00:00:41.820
 When you found it, let's stand together for the reading of God's Word as I read John 11, 1 through 44.

00:00:48.579 --> 00:00:54.840
 Now a certain man was ill, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.

00:00:54.840 --> 00:01:01.160
 It was Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill.

00:01:01.680 --> 00:01:06.040
 So the sisters sent to him saying, Lord, he whom you love is ill.

00:01:06.780 --> 00:01:11.240
 But when Jesus heard it, he said, this illness does not lead to death.

00:01:11.780 --> 00:01:16.859
 It is for the glory of God so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.

00:01:16.859 --> 00:01:21.700
 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.

00:01:21.700 --> 00:01:28.239
 So when he heard that Lazarus was ill, he stayed two days longer in the place where he was.

00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:32.480
 Then after this, he said to the disciples, let us go to Judea again.

00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:37.760
 The disciples said to him, Rabbi, the Jews were just now seeking to stone you.

00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:39.439
 And are you going to go there again?

00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:43.200
 Jesus answered, are there not 12 hours in the day?

00:01:43.659 --> 00:01:48.799
 If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble because he sees the light of this world.

00:01:49.179 --> 00:01:53.659
 But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles because the light is not in him.

00:01:54.420 --> 00:02:00.739
 After saying these things, he said to them, our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I go to awaken him.

00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:05.299
 The disciples said to him, Lord, if he's fallen asleep, he will recover.

00:02:05.299 --> 00:02:11.120
 Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he had meant taking rest in sleep.

00:02:11.740 --> 00:02:14.560
 Then Jesus told them plainly, Lazarus has died.

00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:19.139
 And for your sake, I'm glad that I was not there so that you may believe.

00:02:19.699 --> 00:02:20.680
 But let us go to him.

00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:27.099
 So Thomas called the twins, said to his fellow disciples, let us also go that we may die with him.

00:02:28.180 --> 00:02:32.699
 Now when Jesus came, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb four days.

00:02:32.699 --> 00:02:40.619
 Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles off, and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to console them concerning their brother.

00:02:41.239 --> 00:02:46.479
 So when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary remained seated in the house.

00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:51.539
 Martha said to Jesus, Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

00:02:52.060 --> 00:02:55.799
 But even now I know that whatever you ask from God, God will give you.

00:02:56.599 --> 00:03:00.199
 Jesus said to her, your brother will rise again.

00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:06.739
 Martha said to him, I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.

00:03:07.659 --> 00:03:11.679
 Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life.

00:03:12.299 --> 00:03:15.899
 Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live.

00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:19.439
 And everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die.

00:03:19.579 --> 00:03:20.699
 Do you believe this?

00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:28.060
 She said to him, yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming into the world.

00:03:28.060 --> 00:03:34.860
 When she had said this, she went and called her sister Mary, saying in private, the teacher is here and is calling for you.

00:03:35.259 --> 00:03:37.699
 And when she heard it, she rose quickly and went to him.

00:03:38.340 --> 00:03:42.599
 Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha had met him.

00:03:43.020 --> 00:03:51.719
 When the Jews who were with her in the house, consoling her, saw Mary rise quickly and go out, they followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there.

00:03:51.719 --> 00:04:01.719
 Now when Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

00:04:02.579 --> 00:04:11.280
 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in his spirit and greatly troubled.

00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:13.539
 And he said, where have you laid him?

00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:16.180
 They said to him, Lord, come and see.

00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:17.720
 Jesus wept.

00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:21.700
 So the Jews said, see how he loved him.

00:04:22.400 --> 00:04:28.160
 But some of them said, could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have also kept this man from dying?

00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:32.320
 Then Jesus, deeply moved again, came to the tomb.

00:04:33.060 --> 00:04:35.440
 It was a cave and a stone lay against it.

00:04:36.100 --> 00:04:38.060
 Jesus said, take away the stone.

00:04:39.020 --> 00:04:46.040
 Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, Lord, by this time there will be an odor, for he has been dead four days.

00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:52.400
 Jesus said to her, did I not tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God?

00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:54.600
 So they took away the stone.

00:04:55.260 --> 00:04:59.840
 And Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, Father, I thank you that you have heard me.

00:04:59.939 --> 00:05:07.200
 I knew that you always hear me, but I said this on account of the people standing around, that they may believe that you sent me.

00:05:08.060 --> 00:05:13.160
 When he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice, Lazarus, come out.

00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:20.260
 But the man who had died came out, his hands and feet bound with linen strips and his face wrapped with a cloth.

00:05:20.840 --> 00:05:25.320
 And Jesus said to them, unbind him and let him go.

00:05:26.260 --> 00:05:28.000
 This is the word of God.

00:05:28.860 --> 00:05:31.060
 Will you please be seated and let's pray once more.

00:05:31.060 --> 00:05:37.560
 Lord, what an unbelievable display of your power and glory.

00:05:37.740 --> 00:05:44.100
 We pray that you would give us eyes to see it in a heart that would worship you in light of what we're about to explore in your word.

00:05:44.180 --> 00:05:45.079
 We pray in Christ's name.

00:05:46.139 --> 00:05:46.379
 Amen.

00:05:46.379 --> 00:05:58.279
 On June 1st, 1897, the New York Herald published an article on the sickness and imminent death of Samuel Clemens,

00:05:58.939 --> 00:06:02.139
 who you probably better know by his pen name Mark Twain.

00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:04.819
 The article caused quite a stir.

00:06:04.980 --> 00:06:09.360
 The New York Herald was one of the most reputable publications in the world at this time.

00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:14.319
 The only problem was that Mark Twain was alive and well.

00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:20.759
 He was on a writing assignment in London working for another publication, the New York Journal.

00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:32.439
 So on the very next day, June 2nd, 1897, the New York Journal published an article featuring Mark Twain's own comments on his reported death,

00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:36.300
 which produced the now famous quote,

00:06:36.620 --> 00:06:40.279
 The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.

00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:47.739
 Our passage today, John chapter 11, involves the report of someone's death.

00:06:47.799 --> 00:06:52.279
 Although, sadly, the report of this death of Lazarus is not exaggerated.

00:06:53.379 --> 00:06:54.279
 This is not false information.

00:06:55.219 --> 00:06:59.579
 Lazarus is really, truly, completely dead.

00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:01.959
 But, not for long.

00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:08.239
 This is an incredible story, and it's so applicable for each one of us,

00:07:08.299 --> 00:07:13.519
 because every single one of us has to deal with the problem of death.

00:07:14.539 --> 00:07:16.419
 And we all have this in common, don't we?

00:07:16.459 --> 00:07:19.799
 Every single one of us has to face the problem of death.

00:07:20.299 --> 00:07:22.359
 And we've seen throughout the Gospel of John,

00:07:22.479 --> 00:07:25.740
 Jesus has come face to face with so many of our struggles.

00:07:25.740 --> 00:07:29.060
 And he's come out on top of every single one so far.

00:07:29.579 --> 00:07:34.500
 He's faced issues of social exclusion and isolation and rejection.

00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:37.720
 He's solved problems of hunger and thirst.

00:07:37.819 --> 00:07:40.800
 He's solved problems of physical suffering and blindness.

00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:45.220
 But now, he's face to face with a much greater enemy.

00:07:45.980 --> 00:07:50.480
 This is the final boss of sin's devastating consequences.

00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:54.480
 Jesus is face to face with death.

00:07:54.480 --> 00:08:02.420
 But the lesson that we learn here in John chapter 11 is that even death is no match for Jesus.

00:08:03.500 --> 00:08:06.980
 Jesus is Lord over the grave.

00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:16.860
 Jesus conquers death in the grave, which means we can trust him even in the face of death.

00:08:17.640 --> 00:08:22.480
 What I want to do this morning is give us two reasons to trust him this morning.

00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:23.879
 This will be our outline.

00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:26.920
 If you're taking notes, if you're a note taker, it'll help you follow along.

00:08:27.339 --> 00:08:31.399
 Two reasons to trust Jesus in the face of death.

00:08:31.459 --> 00:08:35.860
 And I'll go ahead and warn you right now, we're going to spend most of our time in the first point.

00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:37.860
 So hang in there with me.

00:08:37.939 --> 00:08:41.480
 The first reason to trust him is that Jesus cares.

00:08:42.939 --> 00:08:44.639
 Jesus cares.

00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:48.899
 We can trust Jesus because he genuinely cares.

00:08:48.899 --> 00:08:50.939
 Jesus cares about our sickness.

00:08:52.019 --> 00:08:54.220
 Jesus cares about our weakness.

00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:55.899
 Jesus cares about our struggle.

00:08:56.100 --> 00:09:01.899
 Jesus cares especially about the issues we face involving sin and death.

00:09:01.980 --> 00:09:07.840
 You know, one of the worst lies Satan can whisper into your ear during times of trial,

00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:09.480
 God doesn't care.

00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:11.980
 God doesn't care about me.

00:09:13.019 --> 00:09:14.899
 God doesn't care about my struggle.

00:09:15.620 --> 00:09:22.600
 If God cared about me, he would remove this from me immediately the way I want, the way I ask him.

00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:26.539
 And if he doesn't, well, God doesn't care about me.

00:09:26.539 --> 00:09:30.719
 This passage I want us to see is a rebuke to that lie.

00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:37.839
 I want you to see as we walk through this together how Jesus shows us his deep heart concern,

00:09:38.039 --> 00:09:43.679
 his care for our weakness, his care for sinners like us here in this passage.

00:09:43.779 --> 00:09:44.819
 Look with me again to verse 1.

00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:52.759
 John tells us that a certain man was ill, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary, and her sister Martha.

00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:58.639
 Apparently by this time, Mary, Martha, and Lazarus had developed a relationship with Jesus

00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:02.319
 because they sent word to him saying in verse 3,

00:10:02.460 --> 00:10:05.740
 Lord, he whom you love is ill.

00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:10.580
 In other words, come do something about this.

00:10:11.860 --> 00:10:13.399
 He whom you love is ill.

00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:14.759
 We've done all that we can.

00:10:14.860 --> 00:10:17.159
 The doctors have tried everything that they can.

00:10:17.220 --> 00:10:19.679
 He's not getting any better, but we know you.

00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:20.279
 We trust you.

00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:22.779
 We've seen you do these wonderful things for other people.

00:10:23.179 --> 00:10:24.779
 Come do it for us.

00:10:24.839 --> 00:10:26.259
 Don't you love him?

00:10:27.059 --> 00:10:28.419
 Don't you care about him?

00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:31.720
 But when Jesus heard it, look what he said.

00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:35.679
 He said, this illness does not lead to death.

00:10:35.779 --> 00:10:43.779
 It is for the glory of God that the Son of God may be glorified through it.

00:10:43.779 --> 00:10:53.639
 His condition, much like the blind man in John chapter 9, if you remember that story, you remember his illness, his sickness, his suffering.

00:10:53.779 --> 00:10:54.959
 It's not accidental.

00:10:55.939 --> 00:10:57.399
 It's not meaningless.

00:10:57.839 --> 00:10:59.240
 It's not purposeless.

00:10:59.339 --> 00:11:00.179
 It's not empty.

00:11:00.179 --> 00:11:08.199
 It is for the glory of God that the Son of God might be glorified through it.

00:11:08.259 --> 00:11:21.899
 That's the purpose of what's going on here in Lazarus, which is important for us to understand, because without that piece of information, without that divine perspective on this event, we simply cannot understand what he does next.

00:11:21.899 --> 00:11:23.939
 Look there to verse 5.

00:11:25.379 --> 00:11:25.720
 It says,

00:11:25.899 --> 00:11:39.519
 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus, so when he heard that Lazarus was ill, he stayed two days longer in the place where he was.

00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:40.159
 Read that again.

00:11:40.159 --> 00:11:46.659
 Because he loved them, he didn't go solve their problem.

00:11:47.919 --> 00:11:52.679
 Because he loved them, he didn't answer their request.

00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:57.019
 Because he loved them, he stayed and he waited.

00:11:57.179 --> 00:11:58.439
 How is this love?

00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:12.100
 How could this possibly be loving for Jesus to hear the message, to hear the report on this issue, and yet choose willingly to wait two more days?

00:12:12.580 --> 00:12:14.780
 How do we make sense of this?

00:12:14.880 --> 00:12:21.520
 Well, I want us to see that Jesus is motivated primarily by two things.

00:12:21.640 --> 00:12:24.960
 He is motivated by love and by glory.

00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:31.019
 Love for this grieving family and the glory of God.

00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:37.200
 And we know, don't we, that God's glory, that's the primary motivation for everything God does.

00:12:37.280 --> 00:12:48.019
 Every event in the world, everything that we walk through in our own lives, at the very bottom of it, the Sunday school answer is always Jesus and it's always the glory of God.

00:12:48.019 --> 00:13:03.519
 But the good news for us, that we learn in the gospel, is that God has, out of an abundance of grace, bound up his glory with love for sinners like us.

00:13:04.879 --> 00:13:15.220
 He has tied up the magnification of his glory with the extension of love towards sinners like us.

00:13:15.220 --> 00:13:19.300
 But we have to get these things in order, don't we?

00:13:20.220 --> 00:13:28.720
 We have to understand this, that love, that extension of love towards sinners like us, it does not orbit around us.

00:13:29.440 --> 00:13:30.920
 We are not primary.

00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:34.680
 This is what we struggle to understand, isn't it?

00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:41.819
 We think, wrongly, we think that, well, in order for me to be loved, my needs must be met.

00:13:42.819 --> 00:13:53.099
 In order for me to be cared for, in order for me to be loved, my immediate request must be met the way that I ask, or God doesn't care about me.

00:13:54.500 --> 00:13:56.439
 But that's not love, isn't it?

00:13:56.440 --> 00:14:04.700
 True love is to give someone what will make them eternally happy.

00:14:05.740 --> 00:14:10.780
 To give someone what will make them eternally satisfied, truly satisfied.

00:14:11.020 --> 00:14:14.600
 And that is only found in God himself.

00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:28.920
 Jesus loves us most and he loves us best when he helps us to see his glory that we might understand it and see it and love him and worship him as he deserves.

00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:32.399
 That's exactly what's going on here, isn't it?

00:14:33.259 --> 00:14:38.220
 Jesus cares for them by not meeting their immediate request.

00:14:38.220 --> 00:14:49.420
 He waits so that they might see his glory more clearly than if he had just answered their needs immediately.

00:14:51.300 --> 00:14:56.540
 Well, after two days passed, Jesus told his disciples, hey, it's time to go back to Judea.

00:14:56.700 --> 00:15:01.600
 And as usual, the disciples don't understand what in the world is going on.

00:15:02.580 --> 00:15:07.440
 They had just left Judea because you remember the Jews were seeking to stone Jesus.

00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:10.580
 Jesus claimed to be one with God the Father.

00:15:10.680 --> 00:15:11.800
 The Jews didn't like that.

00:15:11.900 --> 00:15:13.520
 They wanted to stone him.

00:15:13.980 --> 00:15:16.480
 Why would we go back there, they ask?

00:15:17.180 --> 00:15:20.940
 And the answer, again, Jesus says, is glory.

00:15:21.960 --> 00:15:28.900
 There are God-appointed works to do that will love sinners and will glorify God.

00:15:29.920 --> 00:15:32.540
 Jesus says, are there not 12 hours in the day?

00:15:32.540 --> 00:15:36.980
 If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble because he sees the light of this world.

00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:41.700
 But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles because the light is not in him.

00:15:41.740 --> 00:15:45.860
 In other words, there's still work to be done.

00:15:45.940 --> 00:15:46.580
 It's daytime.

00:15:47.460 --> 00:15:48.300
 The night is coming.

00:15:48.400 --> 00:15:52.280
 When my work here will be finished, my time to die is coming.

00:15:52.380 --> 00:15:54.660
 Then my work here on earth will be done.

00:15:54.900 --> 00:15:58.220
 But until that time, the Jews can do whatever they want.

00:15:58.220 --> 00:16:04.460
 But I'm invincible until the works that the Father has appointed for me are complete.

00:16:04.560 --> 00:16:07.259
 I have work to do that you might see my glory.

00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:12.540
 He says, our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep and I go to awaken him.

00:16:12.580 --> 00:16:14.060
 And this is just so funny to me.

00:16:15.019 --> 00:16:16.620
 Their response, listen to this.

00:16:17.620 --> 00:16:22.220
 They said, Lord, if he's asleep, he will recover.

00:16:22.220 --> 00:16:26.279
 Why do we have to go to Judea to wake him up?

00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:28.220
 Let the man sleep.

00:16:29.860 --> 00:16:36.200
 So Jesus, I can only imagine his exasperation, told them plainly, guys, Lazarus is dead.

00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:42.660
 And for your sake, I'm glad I was not there so that you may believe.

00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:45.440
 Do you hear his care for them?

00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:52.100
 It seems so foolish to them walking back into danger, walking back into the hands of the Jews.

00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:56.500
 But Jesus knows that what they need most is not to be safe.

00:16:56.580 --> 00:16:59.960
 It's to see him for who he is and to believe.

00:17:00.340 --> 00:17:01.160
 He says, let's go.

00:17:01.880 --> 00:17:02.600
 Follow me.

00:17:04.299 --> 00:17:11.600
 By the time they arrive, verse 17 tells us that Lazarus has already been in the tomb for days.

00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:12.360
 Listen to this.

00:17:12.380 --> 00:17:13.779
 This was fascinating to me.

00:17:13.779 --> 00:17:17.819
 Now, apparently, there's a rabbinical teaching, not a biblical teaching,

00:17:18.019 --> 00:17:21.799
 but extra-biblical, traditional, rabbinical teaching in Jesus' day

00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:28.819
 that said that after someone died, their spirit hovered over their body for a period of time.

00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:33.399
 And within that period of time, there was a window of opportunity

00:17:33.399 --> 00:17:36.700
 where if that person was going to be brought back to life,

00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:40.559
 if it was possible for them to be resuscitated,

00:17:40.559 --> 00:17:45.839
 then their spirit would reenter their body and they would come back to life.

00:17:45.919 --> 00:17:47.359
 Do you know what that window of time was?

00:17:48.779 --> 00:17:49.639
 Three days.

00:17:50.980 --> 00:17:52.019
 Three days.

00:17:52.779 --> 00:18:00.440
 After three days, the teaching was that that person was completely, totally, truly, hopelessly dead

00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:05.059
 and there was no hope, no possibility, no way to bring them back.

00:18:05.059 --> 00:18:14.920
 Jesus waited four days until Lazarus was undeniably, completely, totally dead

00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:17.480
 without any hope for revival.

00:18:17.740 --> 00:18:18.279
 Why?

00:18:18.620 --> 00:18:19.720
 Why does he do this?

00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:26.860
 So that he could demonstrate the undeniable power of God.

00:18:27.940 --> 00:18:29.880
 Now, this wouldn't be explained away.

00:18:29.980 --> 00:18:31.059
 This wouldn't be laughed off.

00:18:31.120 --> 00:18:36.880
 It would be a powerful sign that we might believe that Jesus is the Christ.

00:18:37.660 --> 00:18:41.759
 That Jesus is God in the flesh, the author of life.

00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:48.700
 Of course, skeptics still come up with something, don't they?

00:18:49.640 --> 00:18:52.339
 If you've worked in the medical community at all,

00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:54.799
 you may have heard of something called the Lazarus phenomenon.

00:18:55.660 --> 00:18:57.220
 Anybody heard of the Lazarus phenomenon?

00:18:57.960 --> 00:19:00.879
 It's named after Lazarus here in John chapter 11.

00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:05.660
 The Lazarus phenomenon is when a patient who has been pronounced dead

00:19:05.660 --> 00:19:08.119
 after a cardiac event, cardiac arrest,

00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:12.619
 unexpectedly experienced a return in cardiac activity.

00:19:13.099 --> 00:19:16.039
 Most of these events happen within 10 minutes.

00:19:16.479 --> 00:19:20.339
 But I read a story this week of one woman, 91 years old,

00:19:20.459 --> 00:19:22.019
 whose heart stopped beating.

00:19:22.179 --> 00:19:23.159
 She stopped breathing.

00:19:23.279 --> 00:19:24.839
 The doctors pronounced her dead.

00:19:25.259 --> 00:19:31.000
 Eleven hours later, she woke up in the mortuary

00:19:31.000 --> 00:19:34.479
 asking for tea and pancakes.

00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:38.000
 What's the point?

00:19:38.119 --> 00:19:40.079
 Well, for one, if I'm pronounced dead,

00:19:40.199 --> 00:19:42.000
 wait like 11 minutes, please,

00:19:42.199 --> 00:19:44.779
 before you put me away.

00:19:46.599 --> 00:19:47.739
 But we should understand,

00:19:47.839 --> 00:19:49.479
 these medical events happen,

00:19:49.619 --> 00:19:51.199
 and skeptics, critics, they look at that,

00:19:51.239 --> 00:19:52.619
 and they say, well, see?

00:19:53.759 --> 00:19:55.899
 Well, this couldn't possibly be a miracle.

00:19:56.099 --> 00:19:59.079
 There's got to be some scientific explanation for this.

00:19:59.159 --> 00:20:01.479
 They don't have a category in their mind

00:20:01.479 --> 00:20:02.799
 for the work of God,

00:20:02.859 --> 00:20:04.419
 the miraculous work of God.

00:20:04.419 --> 00:20:05.779
 So they say, there has to be

00:20:05.779 --> 00:20:08.920
 some scientific explanation for this.

00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:12.819
 But that's not what happened here to Lazarus at all, is it?

00:20:13.859 --> 00:20:15.440
 None of these individuals,

00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:18.079
 as incredible as their stories are,

00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:21.660
 were four days dead.

00:20:21.660 --> 00:20:26.220
 And none of these doctors, as far as I know,

00:20:26.320 --> 00:20:27.540
 called their shot,

00:20:28.440 --> 00:20:30.820
 predicted the resurrection of these individuals.

00:20:31.759 --> 00:20:33.840
 And none of the doctors, I'm confident,

00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:35.640
 commanded the resurrection.

00:20:35.940 --> 00:20:37.940
 In fact, all of these Lazarus phenomenons,

00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:40.620
 they happened after the doctors tried everything they could,

00:20:40.660 --> 00:20:41.340
 and they got it wrong.

00:20:41.339 --> 00:20:46.879
 Jesus, here, he calls his shot.

00:20:47.959 --> 00:20:48.679
 And for good measure,

00:20:48.819 --> 00:20:50.539
 he wanted to make sure everyone knew

00:20:50.539 --> 00:20:53.339
 Lazarus was truly, totally, actually,

00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:55.240
 completely dead.

00:20:55.379 --> 00:20:56.539
 Four days dead.

00:20:56.619 --> 00:20:56.859
 Why?

00:20:58.500 --> 00:20:59.980
 The purpose of waiting,

00:21:00.199 --> 00:21:02.019
 the purpose of delaying,

00:21:02.099 --> 00:21:05.720
 the purpose of not meeting this immediate need,

00:21:05.720 --> 00:21:08.000
 was to meet a much greater,

00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:10.180
 eternal need.

00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:10.859
 Namely,

00:21:12.059 --> 00:21:13.400
 the glory of God,

00:21:13.460 --> 00:21:15.480
 and the glory of the Son,

00:21:15.579 --> 00:21:16.500
 for our faith.

00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:20.000
 Now, how often

00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:24.519
 do we struggle with some sort of sickness,

00:21:25.799 --> 00:21:27.779
 some sort of suffering,

00:21:27.980 --> 00:21:28.700
 some loss,

00:21:28.819 --> 00:21:29.339
 some lack?

00:21:29.400 --> 00:21:33.279
 Maybe some of you are in the middle of some difficult scenario right now.

00:21:33.279 --> 00:21:35.379
 And we just cry out to God,

00:21:35.460 --> 00:21:36.899
 God, take this away from me.

00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:37.139
 God,

00:21:37.539 --> 00:21:38.420
 God, don't you care?

00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:40.359
 Won't you lift this off my back?

00:21:40.460 --> 00:21:42.299
 Please, would you do something about this?

00:21:42.339 --> 00:21:43.399
 Don't you love me, God?

00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:47.059
 Could it be that God loves you enough

00:21:47.059 --> 00:21:48.720
 to wait?

00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:54.119
 To show you his care and his glory

00:21:54.119 --> 00:21:56.660
 in a way that you wouldn't see otherwise

00:21:56.660 --> 00:21:59.259
 if he just immediately answered your prayer

00:21:59.259 --> 00:22:00.799
 the way you think it should be answered?

00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:04.460
 Jesus waited.

00:22:05.619 --> 00:22:08.680
 But we see he did eventually come, didn't he?

00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:11.359
 And we see his heart on display here

00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:14.019
 in his conversations with Mary and with Martha.

00:22:14.139 --> 00:22:15.539
 I love these interactions.

00:22:15.740 --> 00:22:16.940
 Look there with me to verse 21.

00:22:17.740 --> 00:22:17.940
 It says,

00:22:18.019 --> 00:22:19.240
 Mary stayed inside,

00:22:19.399 --> 00:22:21.359
 Martha came out first to talk to Jesus,

00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:22.720
 and Martha said,

00:22:22.799 --> 00:22:24.259
 Lord, if you had been here,

00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:26.019
 my brother would not have died.

00:22:26.019 --> 00:22:27.259
 But even now I know

00:22:27.259 --> 00:22:29.220
 whatever you ask from God,

00:22:29.339 --> 00:22:30.379
 God will give you.

00:22:31.539 --> 00:22:33.419
 How does Jesus comfort her here?

00:22:34.759 --> 00:22:35.680
 Look what Jesus does.

00:22:35.779 --> 00:22:37.159
 Look to verse 23.

00:22:38.799 --> 00:22:40.960
 Jesus shows he cares for her

00:22:40.960 --> 00:22:43.960
 by extending to her

00:22:43.960 --> 00:22:46.259
 the promises of God.

00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:48.559
 Jesus said to her,

00:22:48.659 --> 00:22:51.700
 your brother will rise again.

00:22:51.700 --> 00:22:54.140
 So Martha says to him,

00:22:54.180 --> 00:22:54.799
 I know,

00:22:55.240 --> 00:22:55.539
 Jesus,

00:22:55.660 --> 00:22:56.019
 I know,

00:22:56.100 --> 00:22:56.500
 I believe,

00:22:56.580 --> 00:22:58.180
 I know that he will rise again

00:22:58.180 --> 00:22:58.960
 in the resurrection

00:22:58.960 --> 00:23:00.519
 at the last day.

00:23:01.140 --> 00:23:01.860
 When Jesus says,

00:23:01.940 --> 00:23:02.039
 no,

00:23:02.100 --> 00:23:02.200
 no,

00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:02.360
 no,

00:23:02.360 --> 00:23:02.500
 no,

00:23:02.500 --> 00:23:02.660
 no,

00:23:02.660 --> 00:23:02.740
 no.

00:23:03.539 --> 00:23:04.340
 You don't understand.

00:23:05.559 --> 00:23:08.220
 I am the resurrection

00:23:08.220 --> 00:23:09.580
 and the life.

00:23:10.580 --> 00:23:12.360
 Whoever believes in me,

00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:13.860
 though he die,

00:23:13.980 --> 00:23:15.620
 yet shall he live.

00:23:15.619 --> 00:23:17.699
 And whoever lives and believes in me

00:23:17.699 --> 00:23:18.599
 shall never die.

00:23:18.679 --> 00:23:19.519
 Do you believe this,

00:23:19.619 --> 00:23:19.819
 Martha?

00:23:20.919 --> 00:23:21.899
 Do you believe this?

00:23:23.839 --> 00:23:27.239
 This is yet another I am statement.

00:23:27.379 --> 00:23:28.059
 We've seen them throughout

00:23:28.059 --> 00:23:29.099
 the gospel of John.

00:23:29.179 --> 00:23:30.239
 Jesus is saying,

00:23:30.359 --> 00:23:31.839
 I am the resurrection

00:23:31.839 --> 00:23:32.619
 and the life.

00:23:32.679 --> 00:23:33.199
 What's he saying?

00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:34.140
 He's saying,

00:23:34.340 --> 00:23:35.860
 I am the I am.

00:23:36.539 --> 00:23:38.720
 I am God in the flesh.

00:23:38.840 --> 00:23:41.000
 I am the one who gives life,

00:23:41.080 --> 00:23:42.440
 the one who takes life away.

00:23:42.580 --> 00:23:43.340
 I am the one,

00:23:43.340 --> 00:23:46.000
 the only one who has life in himself

00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:48.059
 and can give life to whomever he pleases.

00:23:48.819 --> 00:23:51.039
 And then he issues this promise

00:23:51.039 --> 00:23:52.080
 from the mouth of God.

00:23:52.140 --> 00:23:52.740
 Did you hear it?

00:23:54.240 --> 00:23:55.900
 Whoever believes in me,

00:23:56.740 --> 00:23:58.000
 though he die,

00:23:58.960 --> 00:24:00.519
 yet shall he live.

00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:03.579
 And whoever lives and believes in me

00:24:03.579 --> 00:24:05.319
 shall never die.

00:24:05.420 --> 00:24:06.400
 I know he looks dead.

00:24:06.500 --> 00:24:07.579
 He is dead.

00:24:07.660 --> 00:24:08.660
 But look to me.

00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:09.339
 Trust me.

00:24:09.500 --> 00:24:10.079
 Believe me.

00:24:10.220 --> 00:24:12.359
 I am the resurrection and the life.

00:24:12.480 --> 00:24:14.359
 There is hope in me.

00:24:14.480 --> 00:24:14.619
 Now,

00:24:15.500 --> 00:24:17.319
 I want you to place yourself

00:24:17.319 --> 00:24:18.879
 in Martha's shoes here

00:24:18.879 --> 00:24:19.619
 for a minute.

00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:20.660
 Okay?

00:24:22.259 --> 00:24:23.019
 Because again,

00:24:23.059 --> 00:24:24.139
 I know all of us

00:24:24.139 --> 00:24:26.079
 at various levels

00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:27.119
 and various times

00:24:27.119 --> 00:24:28.200
 and places and ways,

00:24:28.500 --> 00:24:30.200
 all of us are faced

00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:32.279
 with the enemy of death.

00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:34.819
 Maybe loss of a loved one.

00:24:35.819 --> 00:24:37.600
 Maybe your own health concerns.

00:24:37.740 --> 00:24:38.660
 I want you to place yourself

00:24:38.660 --> 00:24:39.759
 in Martha's shoes here

00:24:39.759 --> 00:24:40.420
 for a minute

00:24:40.420 --> 00:24:42.539
 because that glorious promise,

00:24:42.700 --> 00:24:43.360
 that security,

00:24:43.559 --> 00:24:44.240
 that assurance,

00:24:44.460 --> 00:24:45.500
 that confidence,

00:24:45.740 --> 00:24:46.580
 that comfort

00:24:46.580 --> 00:24:48.980
 is available to any

00:24:48.980 --> 00:24:50.620
 who would put their faith

00:24:50.620 --> 00:24:51.840
 in Christ Jesus.

00:24:53.480 --> 00:24:55.019
 Any who trust in him

00:24:55.019 --> 00:24:55.900
 to save them

00:24:55.900 --> 00:24:57.420
 from the curse of sin and death

00:24:57.420 --> 00:24:59.759
 will never die.

00:25:00.860 --> 00:25:01.180
 Sure,

00:25:01.240 --> 00:25:02.100
 you'll die physically,

00:25:02.300 --> 00:25:03.860
 but what do we lose in that?

00:25:04.960 --> 00:25:06.420
 And all that does to us

00:25:06.420 --> 00:25:07.779
 is bring us to him.

00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:09.980
 Those who are spiritually

00:25:09.980 --> 00:25:11.279
 made alive,

00:25:11.420 --> 00:25:12.580
 we may look dead

00:25:12.580 --> 00:25:13.600
 to the eyes of the world,

00:25:13.700 --> 00:25:15.940
 but those who belong to Christ

00:25:15.940 --> 00:25:18.880
 live with him forever.

00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:21.900
 Do you believe this?

00:25:24.460 --> 00:25:25.340
 Martha did.

00:25:26.760 --> 00:25:27.800
 She said to him,

00:25:27.920 --> 00:25:28.480
 Yes, Lord,

00:25:28.560 --> 00:25:30.780
 I believe that you are the Christ,

00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:31.620
 the Son of God

00:25:31.620 --> 00:25:33.460
 who is coming into the world.

00:25:33.580 --> 00:25:33.940
 Why?

00:25:34.320 --> 00:25:35.280
 Why did he come?

00:25:35.279 --> 00:25:38.000
 Jesus came into the world

00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:39.460
 because he cares

00:25:39.460 --> 00:25:40.859
 about your suffering.

00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:45.399
 He cares about your sickness,

00:25:45.660 --> 00:25:46.180
 your struggle,

00:25:46.319 --> 00:25:46.819
 your pain.

00:25:46.980 --> 00:25:48.899
 He came into the world

00:25:48.899 --> 00:25:50.099
 for resurrection

00:25:50.099 --> 00:25:52.079
 and life

00:25:52.079 --> 00:25:54.279
 for all who believe,

00:25:54.539 --> 00:25:56.000
 for the glory of God

00:25:56.000 --> 00:25:57.299
 in the resurrection

00:25:57.299 --> 00:25:58.799
 of dead sinners

00:25:58.799 --> 00:26:00.220
 like us.

00:26:02.220 --> 00:26:03.700
 Jesus cared for Martha

00:26:03.700 --> 00:26:05.100
 with words

00:26:05.100 --> 00:26:06.519
 and with truth,

00:26:06.620 --> 00:26:08.000
 with the promises of God.

00:26:08.080 --> 00:26:09.340
 Now look how he cares for Mary.

00:26:09.440 --> 00:26:10.319
 He cares for Mary

00:26:10.319 --> 00:26:11.620
 with feeling

00:26:11.620 --> 00:26:13.220
 and with emotion.

00:26:13.460 --> 00:26:14.220
 He cares for Mary

00:26:14.220 --> 00:26:17.000
 with a sensitive presence.

00:26:17.819 --> 00:26:18.140
 Look there,

00:26:18.220 --> 00:26:19.180
 starting in verse 28.

00:26:20.319 --> 00:26:21.500
 And Mary came out

00:26:21.500 --> 00:26:22.920
 and fell at his feet

00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:23.240
 and said,

00:26:23.480 --> 00:26:24.700
 she said the exact same thing

00:26:24.700 --> 00:26:25.480
 that Martha said,

00:26:25.519 --> 00:26:26.340
 almost like they had been

00:26:26.340 --> 00:26:27.400
 talking about this at home,

00:26:27.900 --> 00:26:28.160
 right?

00:26:28.860 --> 00:26:30.340
 Lord, if you had been there,

00:26:30.340 --> 00:26:32.240
 my brother would not have died.

00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:36.120
 But in place of Martha's confidence,

00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:36.620
 here,

00:26:36.740 --> 00:26:39.400
 Mary's response was weakness,

00:26:40.900 --> 00:26:41.579
 grief,

00:26:42.859 --> 00:26:43.359
 sorrow.

00:26:43.680 --> 00:26:45.640
 And when Jesus saw her weeping

00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:47.099
 and saw the Jews

00:26:47.099 --> 00:26:47.900
 who had come with her

00:26:47.900 --> 00:26:48.720
 also weeping,

00:26:48.779 --> 00:26:50.220
 verse 33 says,

00:26:50.359 --> 00:26:52.420
 he was deeply moved

00:26:52.420 --> 00:26:53.299
 in his spirit

00:26:53.299 --> 00:26:55.900
 and greatly troubled.

00:26:55.900 --> 00:26:58.200
 You know,

00:26:58.280 --> 00:27:00.759
 I'm not convinced

00:27:00.759 --> 00:27:03.220
 by the translation here.

00:27:04.320 --> 00:27:05.420
 That word there,

00:27:05.540 --> 00:27:06.680
 you might even have a footnote

00:27:06.680 --> 00:27:07.280
 in your Bible

00:27:07.280 --> 00:27:07.980
 if you look there.

00:27:08.380 --> 00:27:10.160
 That word where it says

00:27:10.160 --> 00:27:11.400
 he was deeply moved

00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:12.120
 in his spirit,

00:27:12.220 --> 00:27:14.540
 it usually doesn't communicate

00:27:14.540 --> 00:27:15.500
 tenderness.

00:27:16.560 --> 00:27:18.320
 Usually it communicates

00:27:18.320 --> 00:27:19.320
 anger,

00:27:20.580 --> 00:27:21.820
 sternness,

00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:23.759
 fierceness.

00:27:23.759 --> 00:27:25.539
 There's a fire

00:27:25.539 --> 00:27:27.440
 in Jesus' spirit.

00:27:27.640 --> 00:27:29.039
 Jesus looks around

00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:30.400
 at the devastating effects

00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:31.180
 of sin.

00:27:31.319 --> 00:27:32.539
 He sees the death

00:27:32.539 --> 00:27:33.400
 of a loved one,

00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:34.619
 the grief of a family,

00:27:34.759 --> 00:27:35.980
 the grief of a community,

00:27:36.420 --> 00:27:37.879
 the heartache of it all

00:27:37.879 --> 00:27:40.680
 and he is greatly disturbed

00:27:40.680 --> 00:27:42.279
 and angry,

00:27:42.519 --> 00:27:42.859
 troubled

00:27:42.859 --> 00:27:44.400
 by what he sees.

00:27:44.500 --> 00:27:45.160
 He's angry

00:27:45.160 --> 00:27:46.180
 at the presence of sin

00:27:46.180 --> 00:27:46.839
 in the world.

00:27:48.220 --> 00:27:50.379
 But he's also tender

00:27:50.379 --> 00:27:52.259
 towards those

00:27:52.259 --> 00:27:53.640
 who bear the effects

00:27:53.640 --> 00:27:54.640
 of sin

00:27:54.640 --> 00:27:55.420
 in the world,

00:27:55.480 --> 00:27:55.779
 isn't he?

00:27:55.819 --> 00:27:56.160
 Look there,

00:27:56.960 --> 00:27:58.200
 verse 35 here

00:27:58.200 --> 00:28:00.339
 in the shortest verse

00:28:00.339 --> 00:28:01.119
 in the Bible.

00:28:02.039 --> 00:28:03.180
 You scripture memory people,

00:28:03.339 --> 00:28:04.859
 this is an easy one.

00:28:05.180 --> 00:28:05.519
 Come on.

00:28:06.900 --> 00:28:08.579
 One of the most beautiful pictures

00:28:08.579 --> 00:28:09.700
 of Jesus' heart

00:28:09.700 --> 00:28:10.319
 and his care

00:28:10.319 --> 00:28:12.079
 for sinners like us.

00:28:12.180 --> 00:28:12.599
 Jesus,

00:28:13.140 --> 00:28:14.180
 God himself,

00:28:14.279 --> 00:28:15.960
 wrapped up in human flesh.

00:28:16.099 --> 00:28:17.980
 He saw the effects

00:28:17.980 --> 00:28:19.120
 of sin

00:28:19.120 --> 00:28:21.039
 and he wept.

00:28:23.200 --> 00:28:23.900
 Do you think

00:28:23.900 --> 00:28:24.920
 he cares for Martha?

00:28:26.819 --> 00:28:27.720
 For Mary?

00:28:28.519 --> 00:28:29.519
 For Lazarus?

00:28:29.579 --> 00:28:29.880
 Do you think

00:28:29.880 --> 00:28:32.140
 he cares for you?

00:28:34.500 --> 00:28:35.000
 You know,

00:28:35.039 --> 00:28:35.819
 I think we could learn

00:28:35.819 --> 00:28:36.400
 a thing or two

00:28:36.400 --> 00:28:37.680
 from Jesus' response

00:28:37.680 --> 00:28:38.599
 here.

00:28:39.740 --> 00:28:40.980
 In our church covenant,

00:28:41.660 --> 00:28:42.259
 it's the commitment

00:28:42.259 --> 00:28:43.120
 that we make

00:28:43.120 --> 00:28:43.720
 to one another

00:28:43.720 --> 00:28:44.240
 as members

00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:45.640
 of this church family.

00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:47.400
 we make a commitment

00:28:47.400 --> 00:28:48.200
 that says this.

00:28:48.300 --> 00:28:48.540
 It says,

00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:50.420
 we will put each other's needs

00:28:50.420 --> 00:28:51.660
 above our own,

00:28:52.420 --> 00:28:54.320
 rejoicing in each other's happiness

00:28:54.320 --> 00:28:56.420
 and helping carry

00:28:56.420 --> 00:28:57.540
 each other's burdens

00:28:57.540 --> 00:28:59.220
 and sorrows.

00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:00.140
 Now,

00:29:00.180 --> 00:29:01.100
 Jesus shows us

00:29:01.100 --> 00:29:02.060
 what that looks like

00:29:02.060 --> 00:29:02.259
 here,

00:29:02.320 --> 00:29:02.700
 doesn't he?

00:29:04.200 --> 00:29:05.000
 I wonder

00:29:05.000 --> 00:29:07.100
 how angry

00:29:07.100 --> 00:29:08.200
 are you

00:29:08.200 --> 00:29:09.460
 at the presence

00:29:09.460 --> 00:29:09.960
 of sin?

00:29:11.320 --> 00:29:13.320
 Not other people's

00:29:13.320 --> 00:29:13.780
 sin.

00:29:13.779 --> 00:29:13.839
 sin.

00:29:14.559 --> 00:29:15.619
 Your sin.

00:29:15.779 --> 00:29:17.339
 Sin in your heart.

00:29:17.519 --> 00:29:18.359
 Lingering sin

00:29:18.359 --> 00:29:19.559
 in your life.

00:29:19.639 --> 00:29:20.220
 How angry

00:29:20.220 --> 00:29:21.000
 are you

00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:21.879
 at the presence

00:29:21.879 --> 00:29:22.460
 of sin

00:29:22.460 --> 00:29:23.180
 in the world?

00:29:24.359 --> 00:29:24.859
 When we turn

00:29:24.859 --> 00:29:25.339
 on the news

00:29:25.339 --> 00:29:26.359
 and see what we see,

00:29:26.460 --> 00:29:27.339
 the devastating

00:29:27.339 --> 00:29:29.019
 effects of sin

00:29:29.019 --> 00:29:29.799
 and death

00:29:29.799 --> 00:29:30.440
 in the world.

00:29:30.539 --> 00:29:30.819
 Are you

00:29:30.819 --> 00:29:32.660
 bothered by it?

00:29:34.160 --> 00:29:34.759
 We shouldn't get

00:29:34.759 --> 00:29:35.440
 so used

00:29:35.440 --> 00:29:36.099
 to the effects

00:29:36.099 --> 00:29:36.559
 of sin

00:29:36.559 --> 00:29:37.240
 that we just think

00:29:37.240 --> 00:29:38.259
 this is normal.

00:29:38.379 --> 00:29:39.240
 It's not normal.

00:29:40.200 --> 00:29:41.039
 Things ought not

00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:41.759
 be this way.

00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:44.220
 We should be moved.

00:29:44.339 --> 00:29:45.779
 This isn't right.

00:29:47.539 --> 00:29:48.700
 But not only this,

00:29:48.779 --> 00:29:50.379
 we should weep.

00:29:51.859 --> 00:29:53.140
 We should grieve

00:29:53.140 --> 00:29:54.519
 at the presence

00:29:54.519 --> 00:29:55.839
 and the effects

00:29:55.839 --> 00:29:56.680
 of sin.

00:29:56.799 --> 00:29:57.460
 Our posture

00:29:57.460 --> 00:29:58.779
 towards one another

00:29:58.779 --> 00:29:59.480
 and our grief,

00:29:59.619 --> 00:30:00.420
 it ought to be,

00:30:00.539 --> 00:30:01.799
 I may not understand

00:30:01.799 --> 00:30:02.940
 what you're going through.

00:30:03.059 --> 00:30:04.400
 I may have never

00:30:04.400 --> 00:30:05.019
 dealt with what

00:30:05.019 --> 00:30:05.799
 you're dealing with.

00:30:06.539 --> 00:30:07.579
 But I love you.

00:30:07.579 --> 00:30:09.559
 I know things

00:30:09.559 --> 00:30:10.599
 ought not be this way.

00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:12.480
 I want to listen to you.

00:30:12.559 --> 00:30:13.740
 I want to be with you.

00:30:13.799 --> 00:30:14.419
 I want to stand

00:30:14.419 --> 00:30:15.079
 by your side.

00:30:15.179 --> 00:30:16.339
 I want to bear

00:30:16.339 --> 00:30:17.399
 your burdens

00:30:17.399 --> 00:30:18.339
 and grief.

00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:19.720
 Let me remind you

00:30:19.720 --> 00:30:20.339
 of the promises

00:30:20.339 --> 00:30:20.939
 of God

00:30:20.939 --> 00:30:21.500
 and if not,

00:30:21.579 --> 00:30:22.480
 let me just weep

00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:22.939
 with you

00:30:22.939 --> 00:30:24.879
 and be there with you

00:30:24.879 --> 00:30:25.879
 because I love you.

00:30:26.980 --> 00:30:28.699
 Things ought not

00:30:28.699 --> 00:30:30.480
 to be this way.

00:30:32.059 --> 00:30:32.899
 Now the presence

00:30:32.899 --> 00:30:33.379
 of death

00:30:33.379 --> 00:30:35.079
 is a constant,

00:30:35.740 --> 00:30:37.480
 unignorable reminder.

00:30:37.579 --> 00:30:38.299
 that things

00:30:38.299 --> 00:30:40.279
 are not right here.

00:30:40.359 --> 00:30:41.439
 Do you feel it?

00:30:43.419 --> 00:30:45.679
 Something must be done

00:30:45.679 --> 00:30:47.480
 and we are powerless

00:30:47.480 --> 00:30:48.299
 to do it.

00:30:49.519 --> 00:30:50.379
 No politician

00:30:50.379 --> 00:30:51.099
 in Washington

00:30:51.099 --> 00:30:51.899
 has the power

00:30:51.899 --> 00:30:52.799
 to set this right.

00:30:54.079 --> 00:30:54.919
 No nation,

00:30:55.099 --> 00:30:55.659
 no army,

00:30:56.879 --> 00:30:58.079
 but there is one.

00:30:59.659 --> 00:31:01.019
 One who is Lord

00:31:01.019 --> 00:31:02.799
 over life and death.

00:31:02.879 --> 00:31:04.439
 His name is Jesus.

00:31:04.720 --> 00:31:05.579
 This is our second reason

00:31:05.579 --> 00:31:07.019
 reason to trust him

00:31:07.019 --> 00:31:07.939
 this morning.

00:31:08.359 --> 00:31:09.500
 Trust Jesus

00:31:09.500 --> 00:31:10.919
 even in the face

00:31:10.919 --> 00:31:11.559
 of death

00:31:11.559 --> 00:31:12.460
 because second,

00:31:13.079 --> 00:31:14.699
 Jesus conquers

00:31:14.699 --> 00:31:15.559
 sin

00:31:15.559 --> 00:31:16.699
 and death.

00:31:17.500 --> 00:31:18.960
 Jesus conquers

00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:19.879
 sin

00:31:19.879 --> 00:31:20.720
 and death.

00:31:20.799 --> 00:31:21.039
 You know,

00:31:21.299 --> 00:31:22.779
 as much as he cares

00:31:22.779 --> 00:31:23.579
 for us,

00:31:24.159 --> 00:31:25.559
 if he can't conquer it,

00:31:25.799 --> 00:31:26.819
 none of his care matters.

00:31:26.819 --> 00:31:28.980
 we need someone

00:31:28.980 --> 00:31:29.679
 who can actually

00:31:29.679 --> 00:31:31.059
 deal with this problem,

00:31:31.179 --> 00:31:32.460
 put it away for good.

00:31:33.539 --> 00:31:34.379
 And this is exactly

00:31:34.379 --> 00:31:35.179
 what happens here

00:31:35.179 --> 00:31:35.980
 in verses 38

00:31:35.980 --> 00:31:36.980
 through 44.

00:31:37.139 --> 00:31:37.799
 Look there with me.

00:31:39.099 --> 00:31:39.539
 And Jesus

00:31:39.539 --> 00:31:41.039
 deeply moved again,

00:31:41.159 --> 00:31:42.039
 came to the tomb.

00:31:42.159 --> 00:31:43.259
 It was a cave

00:31:43.259 --> 00:31:43.960
 and a stone

00:31:43.960 --> 00:31:44.839
 lay against it

00:31:44.839 --> 00:31:45.500
 and Jesus said,

00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:46.700
 take away the stone.

00:31:47.659 --> 00:31:48.059
 Martha,

00:31:48.200 --> 00:31:49.220
 the sister of the dead man,

00:31:49.279 --> 00:31:49.779
 said to him,

00:31:49.839 --> 00:31:50.099
 Lord,

00:31:50.200 --> 00:31:50.939
 by this time

00:31:50.939 --> 00:31:52.399
 there will be an odor.

00:31:52.539 --> 00:31:53.039
 He's been there

00:31:53.039 --> 00:31:54.019
 for four days.

00:31:55.099 --> 00:31:55.879
 Jesus said to her,

00:31:55.980 --> 00:31:57.319
 did I not tell you

00:31:57.319 --> 00:31:58.180
 that if you believed

00:31:58.180 --> 00:31:58.759
 you would see

00:31:58.759 --> 00:31:59.799
 the glory of God?

00:32:00.859 --> 00:32:01.779
 So they took away

00:32:01.779 --> 00:32:02.399
 the stone.

00:32:03.720 --> 00:32:04.299
 And at this point

00:32:04.299 --> 00:32:05.879
 Jesus lifts up a prayer.

00:32:06.019 --> 00:32:06.899
 He lifted up his eyes

00:32:06.899 --> 00:32:07.279
 and he said,

00:32:07.379 --> 00:32:07.579
 Father,

00:32:07.659 --> 00:32:08.299
 I thank you

00:32:08.299 --> 00:32:09.119
 that you have heard me.

00:32:09.220 --> 00:32:10.200
 I knew that you

00:32:10.200 --> 00:32:11.079
 always hear me

00:32:11.079 --> 00:32:11.799
 but I said this

00:32:11.799 --> 00:32:12.960
 on account of the people

00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:13.720
 standing around

00:32:13.720 --> 00:32:15.420
 that they may believe

00:32:15.420 --> 00:32:16.299
 that you sent me.

00:32:16.420 --> 00:32:17.519
 That's the point

00:32:17.519 --> 00:32:18.259
 of the signs.

00:32:18.359 --> 00:32:18.839
 That's the point

00:32:18.839 --> 00:32:20.079
 of these demonstrations

00:32:20.079 --> 00:32:20.740
 of power.

00:32:20.879 --> 00:32:21.279
 You remember

00:32:21.279 --> 00:32:21.779
 the point

00:32:21.779 --> 00:32:23.200
 of this suffering

00:32:23.200 --> 00:32:24.039
 of Lazarus

00:32:24.039 --> 00:32:25.259
 is that they might

00:32:25.259 --> 00:32:26.399
 see and believe

00:32:26.399 --> 00:32:27.779
 that Jesus is the Christ

00:32:27.779 --> 00:32:28.859
 sent from God

00:32:28.859 --> 00:32:29.859
 into the world

00:32:29.859 --> 00:32:31.000
 to deal with

00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:31.799
 this problem

00:32:31.799 --> 00:32:32.440
 of sin.

00:32:34.899 --> 00:32:35.680
 And then when he said

00:32:35.680 --> 00:32:36.220
 these things

00:32:36.220 --> 00:32:37.000
 he cried out

00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:38.899
 with a loud voice.

00:32:40.720 --> 00:32:41.259
 Now I'm looking,

00:32:41.519 --> 00:32:42.339
 I'm watching my boys

00:32:42.339 --> 00:32:43.259
 because at home

00:32:43.259 --> 00:32:45.599
 we read a book

00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:46.879
 about Jesus

00:32:46.879 --> 00:32:47.839
 raising Lazarus

00:32:47.839 --> 00:32:48.420
 and when we get

00:32:48.420 --> 00:32:49.139
 to this point

00:32:49.139 --> 00:32:50.119
 the boys know

00:32:50.119 --> 00:32:50.799
 what to expect

00:32:50.799 --> 00:32:51.259
 and they start

00:32:51.259 --> 00:32:52.259
 to cover their ears

00:32:52.259 --> 00:32:53.379
 because they know

00:32:53.379 --> 00:32:54.299
 dad's about to use

00:32:54.299 --> 00:32:55.240
 his loudest voice

00:32:55.240 --> 00:32:56.180
 to raise the dead.

00:32:57.500 --> 00:32:57.940
 But Randy

00:32:57.940 --> 00:32:58.619
 in the sound booth

00:32:58.619 --> 00:32:59.579
 wasn't expecting that

00:32:59.579 --> 00:33:00.579
 and I'm not sure

00:33:00.579 --> 00:33:01.059
 the speakers

00:33:01.059 --> 00:33:01.660
 could handle it

00:33:01.660 --> 00:33:02.819
 so I'll spare you.

00:33:04.519 --> 00:33:05.200
 But Jesus

00:33:05.200 --> 00:33:05.900
 didn't whisper.

00:33:07.740 --> 00:33:09.200
 He cried out

00:33:09.200 --> 00:33:10.720
 with a loud

00:33:10.720 --> 00:33:12.180
 authoritative

00:33:12.180 --> 00:33:13.440
 powerful

00:33:13.440 --> 00:33:15.519
 life-giving voice

00:33:15.519 --> 00:33:16.319
 Lazarus

00:33:16.319 --> 00:33:17.819
 come out.

00:33:17.819 --> 00:33:20.319
 and amazingly

00:33:20.319 --> 00:33:22.859
 this dead man

00:33:22.859 --> 00:33:23.439
 truly

00:33:23.439 --> 00:33:24.599
 completely

00:33:24.599 --> 00:33:25.559
 totally

00:33:25.559 --> 00:33:26.720
 four days old

00:33:26.720 --> 00:33:27.919
 stinky dead

00:33:27.919 --> 00:33:31.019
 he came out

00:33:31.019 --> 00:33:31.960
 his hands

00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:32.439
 and his feet

00:33:32.439 --> 00:33:33.720
 bound with linen strips

00:33:33.720 --> 00:33:34.559
 and he

00:33:34.559 --> 00:33:35.859
 commanded them

00:33:35.859 --> 00:33:36.839
 unbind him

00:33:36.839 --> 00:33:37.679
 and let him

00:33:37.679 --> 00:33:38.079
 go

00:33:38.079 --> 00:33:39.539
 on my authority

00:33:39.539 --> 00:33:40.240
 at the sound

00:33:40.240 --> 00:33:41.500
 of my voice

00:33:41.500 --> 00:33:42.000
 he

00:33:42.000 --> 00:33:43.240
 lives.

00:33:43.240 --> 00:33:46.460
 this is an

00:33:46.460 --> 00:33:47.519
 incredible miracle

00:33:47.519 --> 00:33:49.140
 is it not?

00:33:51.240 --> 00:33:53.000
 An undeniable sign

00:33:53.000 --> 00:33:53.440
 of Jesus'

00:33:53.660 --> 00:33:54.660
 perfect divinity

00:33:54.660 --> 00:33:55.220
 there should be

00:33:55.220 --> 00:33:56.519
 no doubt

00:33:56.519 --> 00:33:57.180
 that's the point

00:33:57.180 --> 00:33:57.559
 there should be

00:33:57.559 --> 00:33:58.559
 no doubt

00:33:58.559 --> 00:33:59.299
 to anybody

00:33:59.299 --> 00:34:00.059
 who is a witness

00:34:00.059 --> 00:34:00.779
 to these things

00:34:00.779 --> 00:34:01.920
 that this is

00:34:01.920 --> 00:34:03.059
 God in the flesh.

00:34:04.000 --> 00:34:04.720
 There should be

00:34:04.720 --> 00:34:05.120
 no doubt

00:34:05.120 --> 00:34:05.579
 for us

00:34:05.579 --> 00:34:06.720
 as we read

00:34:06.720 --> 00:34:07.359
 this story

00:34:07.359 --> 00:34:07.920
 this account

00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:09.579
 that only God

00:34:09.579 --> 00:34:10.460
 can do this

00:34:10.460 --> 00:34:11.599
 only God

00:34:11.599 --> 00:34:12.179
 can raise

00:34:12.179 --> 00:34:12.679
 the dead

00:34:12.679 --> 00:34:13.380
 only God

00:34:13.380 --> 00:34:14.159
 his voice

00:34:14.159 --> 00:34:15.019
 can give life

00:34:15.019 --> 00:34:15.840
 to the dead

00:34:15.840 --> 00:34:17.159
 it's a powerful sign

00:34:17.159 --> 00:34:18.199
 that Jesus

00:34:18.199 --> 00:34:19.740
 has authority

00:34:19.740 --> 00:34:20.940
 even over

00:34:20.940 --> 00:34:21.599
 death

00:34:21.599 --> 00:34:24.599
 but what I want us

00:34:24.599 --> 00:34:25.119
 to see

00:34:25.119 --> 00:34:26.480
 what I hope

00:34:26.480 --> 00:34:27.199
 you realize

00:34:27.199 --> 00:34:28.400
 is that as incredible

00:34:28.400 --> 00:34:29.920
 as this sign

00:34:29.920 --> 00:34:30.659
 is

00:34:30.659 --> 00:34:32.559
 it's just a pointer

00:34:32.559 --> 00:34:34.760
 it's just a

00:34:34.760 --> 00:34:35.639
 picture

00:34:35.639 --> 00:34:36.480
 it's just a

00:34:36.480 --> 00:34:37.519
 foretaste

00:34:37.519 --> 00:34:38.740
 of an even

00:34:38.740 --> 00:34:39.980
 greater work

00:34:39.980 --> 00:34:40.920
 to come

00:34:40.920 --> 00:34:43.800
 very soon

00:34:43.800 --> 00:34:45.159
 Jesus

00:34:45.159 --> 00:34:46.079
 will make

00:34:46.079 --> 00:34:46.579
 his way

00:34:46.579 --> 00:34:47.619
 into Jerusalem

00:34:47.619 --> 00:34:49.960
 he will be

00:34:49.960 --> 00:34:50.400
 crucified

00:34:50.400 --> 00:34:52.500
 and he will

00:34:52.500 --> 00:34:52.900
 die

00:34:52.900 --> 00:34:54.840
 and he will

00:34:54.840 --> 00:34:55.960
 be truly

00:34:55.960 --> 00:34:57.500
 really

00:34:57.500 --> 00:34:59.000
 completely

00:34:59.000 --> 00:35:00.079
 dead

00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:02.000
 but not

00:35:02.000 --> 00:35:02.480
 for long

00:35:02.480 --> 00:35:05.340
 he will

00:35:05.340 --> 00:35:05.960
 rise

00:35:05.960 --> 00:35:07.599
 if his

00:35:07.599 --> 00:35:08.000
 death

00:35:08.000 --> 00:35:09.179
 is the end

00:35:09.179 --> 00:35:09.799
 of the story

00:35:09.799 --> 00:35:10.179
 none

00:35:10.179 --> 00:35:10.519
 of this

00:35:10.519 --> 00:35:11.019
 would matter

00:35:11.019 --> 00:35:11.319
 nothing

00:35:11.319 --> 00:35:11.659
 Jesus

00:35:11.659 --> 00:35:12.259
 has said

00:35:12.259 --> 00:35:12.779
 or done

00:35:12.779 --> 00:35:13.299
 none

00:35:13.299 --> 00:35:13.559
 of these

00:35:13.559 --> 00:35:14.079
 signs

00:35:14.079 --> 00:35:14.599
 would matter

00:35:14.599 --> 00:35:15.059
 up to this

00:35:15.059 --> 00:35:15.339
 point

00:35:15.339 --> 00:35:15.619
 even

00:35:15.619 --> 00:35:16.699
 raising

00:35:16.699 --> 00:35:17.279
 Lazarus

00:35:17.279 --> 00:35:17.599
 from the

00:35:17.599 --> 00:35:17.879
 dead

00:35:17.879 --> 00:35:18.219
 none

00:35:18.219 --> 00:35:18.599
 of that

00:35:18.599 --> 00:35:18.799
 would

00:35:18.799 --> 00:35:19.199
 matter

00:35:19.199 --> 00:35:19.399
 if

00:35:19.399 --> 00:35:19.699
 Jesus'

00:35:19.919 --> 00:35:20.239
 death

00:35:20.239 --> 00:35:20.500
 were the

00:35:20.500 --> 00:35:20.779
 end

00:35:20.779 --> 00:35:21.139
 of the

00:35:21.139 --> 00:35:21.599
 story

00:35:21.599 --> 00:35:22.179
 he would

00:35:22.179 --> 00:35:22.339
 be

00:35:22.339 --> 00:35:22.779
 beaten

00:35:22.779 --> 00:35:23.500
 by death

00:35:23.500 --> 00:35:23.879
 and we

00:35:23.879 --> 00:35:24.219
 would have

00:35:24.219 --> 00:35:24.819
 no hope

00:35:24.819 --> 00:35:25.480
 in the face

00:35:25.480 --> 00:35:26.399
 of sin

00:35:26.399 --> 00:35:26.799
 and death

00:35:26.799 --> 00:35:27.219
 we would be

00:35:27.219 --> 00:35:27.619
 hopeless

00:35:27.619 --> 00:35:28.819
 in the face

00:35:28.819 --> 00:35:29.099
 of this

00:35:29.099 --> 00:35:29.480
 great

00:35:29.480 --> 00:35:30.159
 enemy

00:35:30.159 --> 00:35:30.679
 as Paul

00:35:30.679 --> 00:35:31.419
 tells us

00:35:31.419 --> 00:35:32.159
 in 1 Corinthians

00:35:32.159 --> 00:35:32.739
 15

00:35:32.739 --> 00:35:33.960
 he says

00:35:33.960 --> 00:35:34.599
 if Christ

00:35:34.599 --> 00:35:35.460
 has not

00:35:35.460 --> 00:35:36.139
 been raised

00:35:36.139 --> 00:35:36.840
 our preaching

00:35:36.840 --> 00:35:37.659
 is in vain

00:35:37.659 --> 00:35:39.220
 your faith

00:35:39.220 --> 00:35:39.980
 is in vain

00:35:39.980 --> 00:35:41.179
 we are

00:35:41.179 --> 00:35:41.980
 misrepresenting

00:35:41.980 --> 00:35:42.280
 God

00:35:42.280 --> 00:35:42.780
 because we've

00:35:42.780 --> 00:35:43.340
 said that

00:35:43.340 --> 00:35:44.340
 God raised

00:35:44.340 --> 00:35:44.679
 Christ

00:35:44.679 --> 00:35:45.039
 from the

00:35:45.039 --> 00:35:45.280
 dead

00:35:45.280 --> 00:35:45.760
 if Christ

00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:46.119
 has not

00:35:46.119 --> 00:35:46.679
 been raised

00:35:46.679 --> 00:35:47.240
 your faith

00:35:47.240 --> 00:35:47.980
 is futile

00:35:47.980 --> 00:35:48.699
 you're still

00:35:48.699 --> 00:35:49.559
 in your sins

00:35:49.559 --> 00:35:50.559
 everyone who's

00:35:50.559 --> 00:35:51.199
 ever died

00:35:51.199 --> 00:35:51.780
 has truly

00:35:51.780 --> 00:35:52.320
 perished

00:35:52.320 --> 00:35:52.860
 and we

00:35:52.860 --> 00:35:53.360
 Christians

00:35:53.360 --> 00:35:54.059
 sitting here

00:35:54.059 --> 00:35:55.059
 in a church

00:35:55.059 --> 00:35:55.460
 service

00:35:55.460 --> 00:35:56.099
 worshiping

00:35:56.099 --> 00:35:56.500
 the Lord

00:35:56.500 --> 00:35:57.079
 of all

00:35:57.079 --> 00:35:57.500
 people

00:35:57.500 --> 00:35:58.099
 are most

00:35:58.099 --> 00:35:58.659
 to be

00:35:58.659 --> 00:35:59.059
 pitied

00:35:59.059 --> 00:36:00.940
 because we

00:36:00.940 --> 00:36:01.280
 stake

00:36:01.280 --> 00:36:02.199
 everything

00:36:02.199 --> 00:36:03.379
 on the

00:36:03.379 --> 00:36:04.000
 resurrection

00:36:04.000 --> 00:36:05.399
 of Jesus

00:36:05.399 --> 00:36:07.419
 but we

00:36:07.419 --> 00:36:08.139
 praise God

00:36:08.139 --> 00:36:08.519
 for the

00:36:08.519 --> 00:36:09.019
 gospel

00:36:09.019 --> 00:36:09.919
 church

00:36:09.919 --> 00:36:11.659
 the gospel

00:36:11.659 --> 00:36:12.219
 is the good

00:36:12.219 --> 00:36:12.539
 news

00:36:12.539 --> 00:36:12.799
 that

00:36:12.799 --> 00:36:13.519
 Jesus

00:36:13.519 --> 00:36:14.039
 Christ

00:36:14.039 --> 00:36:14.500
 cared

00:36:14.500 --> 00:36:15.000
 so

00:36:15.000 --> 00:36:15.579
 deeply

00:36:15.579 --> 00:36:16.000
 for

00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:16.619
 you

00:36:16.619 --> 00:36:17.159
 for

00:36:17.159 --> 00:36:17.460
 your

00:36:17.460 --> 00:36:17.980
 sin

00:36:17.980 --> 00:36:18.399
 for

00:36:18.399 --> 00:36:18.619
 your

00:36:18.619 --> 00:36:19.299
 suffering

00:36:19.299 --> 00:36:19.719
 for

00:36:19.719 --> 00:36:19.919
 your

00:36:19.919 --> 00:36:20.539
 inability

00:36:20.539 --> 00:36:20.879
 to

00:36:20.879 --> 00:36:21.199
 conquer

00:36:21.199 --> 00:36:21.419
 the

00:36:21.419 --> 00:36:21.699
 grave

00:36:21.699 --> 00:36:21.939
 that

00:36:21.939 --> 00:36:22.279
 he

00:36:22.279 --> 00:36:23.079
 came

00:36:23.079 --> 00:36:23.799
 for

00:36:23.799 --> 00:36:24.059
 you

00:36:24.059 --> 00:36:25.239
 and

00:36:25.239 --> 00:36:25.379
 he

00:36:25.379 --> 00:36:25.899
 lived

00:36:25.899 --> 00:36:26.519
 for

00:36:26.519 --> 00:36:26.779
 you

00:36:26.779 --> 00:36:26.960
 and

00:36:26.960 --> 00:36:27.099
 he

00:36:27.099 --> 00:36:27.679
 died

00:36:27.679 --> 00:36:28.159
 for

00:36:28.159 --> 00:36:28.439
 you

00:36:28.439 --> 00:36:28.599
 and

00:36:28.599 --> 00:36:28.799
 he

00:36:28.799 --> 00:36:29.559
 rose

00:36:29.559 --> 00:36:30.019
 never

00:36:30.019 --> 00:36:30.480
 to

00:36:30.480 --> 00:36:30.899
 die

00:36:30.899 --> 00:36:31.819
 again

00:36:31.820 --> 00:36:33.280
 he

00:36:33.280 --> 00:36:33.760
 conquered

00:36:33.760 --> 00:36:34.280
 sin

00:36:34.280 --> 00:36:34.980
 and

00:36:34.980 --> 00:36:35.420
 death

00:36:35.420 --> 00:36:36.700
 it's

00:36:36.700 --> 00:36:36.960
 the good

00:36:36.960 --> 00:36:37.240
 news

00:36:37.240 --> 00:36:37.480
 that

00:36:37.480 --> 00:36:38.180
 his

00:36:38.180 --> 00:36:38.740
 resurrection

00:36:38.740 --> 00:36:39.500
 is ours

00:36:39.500 --> 00:36:39.920
 by

00:36:39.920 --> 00:36:40.500
 faith

00:36:40.500 --> 00:36:40.900
 do you

00:36:40.900 --> 00:36:42.080
 cherish

00:36:42.080 --> 00:36:42.760
 that hope

00:36:42.760 --> 00:36:44.300
 do you

00:36:44.300 --> 00:36:44.620
 cling

00:36:44.620 --> 00:36:45.080
 to that

00:36:45.080 --> 00:36:46.240
 message

00:36:46.240 --> 00:36:48.100
 the

00:36:48.100 --> 00:36:48.539
 resurrection

00:36:48.539 --> 00:36:49.320
 of Christ

00:36:49.320 --> 00:36:49.600
 is

00:36:49.600 --> 00:36:50.559
 everything

00:36:50.559 --> 00:36:51.740
 to us

00:36:51.740 --> 00:36:52.039
 it's our

00:36:52.039 --> 00:36:52.340
 hope

00:36:52.340 --> 00:36:53.240
 both now

00:36:53.240 --> 00:36:54.400
 and

00:36:54.400 --> 00:36:54.820
 forever

00:36:54.820 --> 00:36:55.200
 would you

00:36:55.200 --> 00:36:56.160
 would you

00:36:56.160 --> 00:36:56.740
 just think

00:36:56.740 --> 00:36:57.140
 about this

00:36:57.140 --> 00:36:57.400
 with me

00:36:57.400 --> 00:36:57.620
 for a

00:36:57.620 --> 00:36:57.760
 minute

00:36:57.760 --> 00:37:01.100
 if you

00:37:01.100 --> 00:37:01.520
 are

00:37:01.520 --> 00:37:02.040
 in

00:37:02.040 --> 00:37:02.980
 Christ

00:37:02.980 --> 00:37:05.320
 meaning

00:37:05.320 --> 00:37:05.840
 if you

00:37:05.840 --> 00:37:06.140
 have

00:37:06.140 --> 00:37:07.240
 personally

00:37:07.240 --> 00:37:07.980
 trusted

00:37:07.980 --> 00:37:08.480
 in

00:37:08.480 --> 00:37:08.780
 Jesus

00:37:08.780 --> 00:37:09.220
 Christ

00:37:09.220 --> 00:37:09.780
 alone

00:37:09.780 --> 00:37:10.140
 for

00:37:10.140 --> 00:37:10.480
 your

00:37:10.480 --> 00:37:11.080
 salvation

00:37:11.080 --> 00:37:11.820
 forsaking

00:37:11.820 --> 00:37:12.380
 all

00:37:12.380 --> 00:37:12.900
 others

00:37:12.900 --> 00:37:13.320
 clinging

00:37:13.320 --> 00:37:13.880
 to him

00:37:13.880 --> 00:37:14.260
 loving

00:37:14.260 --> 00:37:14.540
 him

00:37:14.540 --> 00:37:14.900
 with a

00:37:14.900 --> 00:37:15.620
 renewed

00:37:15.620 --> 00:37:16.020
 heart

00:37:16.020 --> 00:37:16.260
 do you

00:37:16.260 --> 00:37:16.440
 know

00:37:16.440 --> 00:37:16.640
 what's

00:37:16.640 --> 00:37:16.900
 happened

00:37:16.900 --> 00:37:17.340
 to you

00:37:17.340 --> 00:37:18.140
 Christian

00:37:18.140 --> 00:37:20.160
 you

00:37:20.160 --> 00:37:20.400
 have

00:37:20.400 --> 00:37:20.760
 been

00:37:20.760 --> 00:37:22.020
 reborn

00:37:22.020 --> 00:37:24.020
 you

00:37:24.020 --> 00:37:24.340
 have

00:37:24.340 --> 00:37:24.860
 been
