00:00:00.920 --> 00:00:02.560
 As Steve has already mentioned,

00:00:02.720 --> 00:00:06.040
 a few more days will be Good Friday and Easter,

00:00:06.640 --> 00:00:09.839
 marking the suffering and death of Christ Jesus

00:00:09.839 --> 00:00:13.280
 on the cross and his burial and resurrection.

00:00:14.060 --> 00:00:17.960
 The event of Easter is significant not just for Christians,

00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:19.859
 but for every human.

00:00:20.740 --> 00:00:22.640
 It's the heart of the gospel,

00:00:23.300 --> 00:00:25.000
 the good news that Christians proclaim.

00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:29.900
 It's where humans find hope to face the most unchangeable,

00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:34.859
 and inevitable threats of human life, our destiny.

00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:41.140
 Humans all want to know where we are going and heading.

00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:47.140
 Our ability to put up with the journey increases

00:00:47.760 --> 00:00:53.280
 according to how desirable the destiny is.

00:00:54.260 --> 00:00:57.760
 That ability increases as we age,

00:00:58.739 --> 00:01:01.460
 but our entitlement to the question,

00:01:02.019 --> 00:01:02.979
 are we there yet,

00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:04.379
 decreases.

00:01:05.859 --> 00:01:07.579
 Repeated by a three-year-old,

00:01:07.679 --> 00:01:09.439
 which is over there joining his church,

00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:13.459
 that question is cute but irritating.

00:01:13.459 --> 00:01:17.639
 However, if a 50-year-old man like myself,

00:01:17.739 --> 00:01:18.399
 growing up,

00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:19.899
 keep asking this question,

00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:22.219
 it's just irritable,

00:01:22.839 --> 00:01:24.739
 and most likely will kick me out of your car.

00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:27.759
 Humans need to organize

00:01:27.759 --> 00:01:30.679
 the sequence of individual sensations

00:01:30.679 --> 00:01:31.819
 and life experience

00:01:31.819 --> 00:01:34.359
 into a particular story.

00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:38.099
 When that story leads somewhere,

00:01:38.620 --> 00:01:39.640
 it gives us hope.

00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:42.560
 Making sense of our destination

00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:43.939
 gives us meaning.

00:01:45.180 --> 00:01:47.659
 What we believe about our future

00:01:47.659 --> 00:01:50.960
 completely controls how we experience our present.

00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:53.479
 So how do we make sense

00:01:53.479 --> 00:01:56.459
 of the unchangeable and inevitable fact

00:01:56.459 --> 00:01:59.039
 that people are destined to die once?

00:01:59.819 --> 00:02:01.699
 How do we have a human hope

00:02:01.699 --> 00:02:03.399
 that can make sense of death

00:02:03.399 --> 00:02:04.979
 and stand up to it

00:02:04.979 --> 00:02:07.099
 and help us to face a fear of death,

00:02:07.479 --> 00:02:10.120
 even triumph over it?

00:02:10.620 --> 00:02:13.539
 Christians believe Jesus is all about hope,

00:02:13.539 --> 00:02:16.099
 and in Jesus is a hope

00:02:16.099 --> 00:02:17.379
 that can face anything.

00:02:18.859 --> 00:02:20.680
 One of the crucial parts

00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:22.099
 of the Christian story

00:02:22.099 --> 00:02:24.680
 has always been deliverance

00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:26.500
 from death through Christ.

00:02:27.239 --> 00:02:29.180
 The Bible is full of passage,

00:02:29.620 --> 00:02:30.639
 like what we have just read

00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:32.919
 from Romans 8 and 2 Timothy 1.

00:02:33.620 --> 00:02:35.459
 Jesus is a savior of the world

00:02:35.459 --> 00:02:37.299
 who has destroyed death

00:02:37.299 --> 00:02:39.699
 and has brought life and immortality

00:02:39.699 --> 00:02:41.359
 to light through the gospel.

00:02:41.899 --> 00:02:43.379
 He saved humans in the hope

00:02:43.379 --> 00:02:45.280
 of redemption and adoption

00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:47.359
 to be God's children.

00:02:48.139 --> 00:02:50.340
 But before we look at Christian hope,

00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:52.639
 let's look at how our society

00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:54.780
 addresses the topic of hope

00:02:54.780 --> 00:02:56.680
 or the lack of it,

00:02:57.120 --> 00:02:58.900
 in particular with death.

00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:00.000
 And after that,

00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:01.819
 we'll look at three characters

00:03:01.819 --> 00:03:02.879
 of Christian hope.

00:03:04.740 --> 00:03:07.479
 So, when it comes to hope

00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:11.879
 and comes to our life

00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:14.719
 and the inevitable destination of death,

00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:19.620
 not many people will be chomping at the beat

00:03:19.620 --> 00:03:21.280
 to ask, are we there yet?

00:03:22.019 --> 00:03:23.319
 Death is a topic

00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:25.219
 that many people would like to avoid

00:03:25.219 --> 00:03:27.259
 because generally,

00:03:27.939 --> 00:03:31.019
 we feel fearful and sad

00:03:31.019 --> 00:03:33.180
 and hopeless about the matter.

00:03:33.180 --> 00:03:36.480
 I came across a TED Talk

00:03:36.480 --> 00:03:37.780
 by Stephen Cave.

00:03:38.140 --> 00:03:39.319
 He's a philosopher

00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:41.140
 and the author of the book

00:03:41.140 --> 00:03:42.879
 Immortality,

00:03:43.020 --> 00:03:44.280
 The Quest to Live Forever

00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:46.319
 and How It Drives Civilization.

00:03:46.860 --> 00:03:47.819
 His TED Talk

00:03:47.819 --> 00:03:50.620
 talks about four stories

00:03:50.620 --> 00:03:52.360
 humans tell themselves

00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:54.700
 to help us cope with the fear of death.

00:03:55.819 --> 00:03:57.379
 Every culture in human history

00:03:57.379 --> 00:03:59.879
 has some story about some magic potion

00:03:59.879 --> 00:04:01.400
 of fountains of youth

00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:03.180
 that promise we can live forever.

00:04:04.180 --> 00:04:07.620
 Ancient Egypt, India, and the Chinese

00:04:07.620 --> 00:04:09.259
 have this kind of story.

00:04:10.099 --> 00:04:10.979
 And the contemporary

00:04:10.979 --> 00:04:12.960
 will tell this story

00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:14.879
 on the belief that science

00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:16.060
 will conquer death.

00:04:17.060 --> 00:04:18.719
 But if you look through history,

00:04:19.159 --> 00:04:20.219
 the only thing in common

00:04:20.219 --> 00:04:21.060
 for all those people

00:04:21.060 --> 00:04:22.139
 that have taken the potion

00:04:22.139 --> 00:04:25.180
 is that they're all still lying in the grave.

00:04:26.540 --> 00:04:29.000
 Realizing we cannot escape death

00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:31.519
 that we tell a restoration story

00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:34.199
 of somehow people can raise up

00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:35.339
 and live again.

00:04:36.379 --> 00:04:38.660
 Christians, Jews, and Muslims

00:04:38.660 --> 00:04:40.819
 share these orthodox beliefs.

00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:44.180
 And we invent this story

00:04:44.180 --> 00:04:46.399
 in the scientific age

00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:48.379
 into freezing our body

00:04:48.379 --> 00:04:50.860
 until technology and medicine

00:04:50.860 --> 00:04:52.220
 is advanced enough

00:04:52.220 --> 00:04:53.620
 to deal with our ill body.

00:04:55.500 --> 00:04:57.600
 Too many people

00:04:57.600 --> 00:04:59.120
 who tell this story

00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:02.620
 religion is a coping mechanism

00:05:02.620 --> 00:05:04.660
 for our hopeless world.

00:05:06.260 --> 00:05:07.500
 Another story

00:05:07.500 --> 00:05:09.420
 that we tell ourselves

00:05:09.420 --> 00:05:11.260
 is that we get to leave

00:05:11.260 --> 00:05:12.560
 our body behind,

00:05:13.320 --> 00:05:14.660
 to live on

00:05:14.660 --> 00:05:16.200
 as a spirit or soul

00:05:16.200 --> 00:05:18.020
 to avoid the messiness

00:05:18.020 --> 00:05:19.060
 and problems

00:05:19.060 --> 00:05:21.140
 of having a physical body.

00:05:22.340 --> 00:05:23.060
 And again,

00:05:23.660 --> 00:05:24.980
 in our digital age,

00:05:24.980 --> 00:05:27.080
 we upload our mind

00:05:27.080 --> 00:05:28.600
 on the computer

00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:30.480
 to live as an avatar

00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:31.660
 after we die.

00:05:32.620 --> 00:05:33.360
 Or lastly,

00:05:33.700 --> 00:05:34.700
 we can live on

00:05:34.700 --> 00:05:37.020
 to immortality

00:05:37.020 --> 00:05:38.480
 in our legacy

00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:40.360
 through people thinking

00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:42.160
 or telling about us.

00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:43.480
 Living on

00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:44.439
 in the memories

00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:45.000
 of the living.

00:05:46.259 --> 00:05:46.960
 I remember

00:05:46.960 --> 00:05:47.900
 this perspective.

00:05:48.980 --> 00:05:50.080
 This is the perspective

00:05:50.080 --> 00:05:50.960
 of my parents

00:05:50.960 --> 00:05:51.759
 as I grew up.

00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:53.360
 the demand

00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:54.599
 of the living

00:05:54.599 --> 00:05:56.659
 to keep the dead alive

00:05:56.659 --> 00:05:58.639
 knows no cultural difference.

00:05:59.699 --> 00:06:00.699
 Many cultures

00:06:00.699 --> 00:06:02.819
 emphasize the importance

00:06:02.819 --> 00:06:03.879
 of getting married

00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:04.800
 and having children

00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:06.259
 or for having

00:06:06.259 --> 00:06:07.879
 a biological legacy.

00:06:09.259 --> 00:06:10.699
 Suppose you're single

00:06:10.699 --> 00:06:11.759
 or a parent

00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:13.800
 with mature kids.

00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:15.120
 Have you bought

00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:16.139
 into this idea

00:06:16.139 --> 00:06:18.240
 of the secular society

00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:19.680
 which feeds

00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:20.920
 our hopelessness?

00:06:22.280 --> 00:06:23.579
 All these stories

00:06:23.579 --> 00:06:24.900
 are humans

00:06:24.900 --> 00:06:26.720
 trying to create hope

00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:28.379
 with their actions.

00:06:29.460 --> 00:06:30.600
 Hope by doing.

00:06:31.900 --> 00:06:32.920
 Cave's conclusion

00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:34.800
 is very typical

00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:36.000
 of many philosophers

00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:37.639
 of our day and age.

00:06:38.259 --> 00:06:39.160
 He used the method

00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:39.939
 of a book.

00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:42.519
 Just as a book

00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:43.879
 is spun by its cover

00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:44.980
 by the beginning

00:06:44.980 --> 00:06:45.840
 and end,

00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:47.299
 so are life

00:06:47.299 --> 00:06:47.919
 are bound

00:06:47.919 --> 00:06:50.659
 by birth and death.

00:06:51.459 --> 00:06:52.159
 The characters

00:06:52.159 --> 00:06:52.939
 within it

00:06:52.939 --> 00:06:54.399
 know no horizon.

00:06:55.219 --> 00:06:55.959
 They only know

00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:56.619
 the moment

00:06:56.619 --> 00:06:57.619
 that make up

00:06:57.619 --> 00:06:58.299
 their story

00:06:58.299 --> 00:06:59.579
 even when the book

00:06:59.579 --> 00:07:00.120
 is closed.

00:07:01.219 --> 00:07:02.399
 It makes no sense

00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:02.959
 for you

00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:03.659
 to feel

00:07:03.659 --> 00:07:05.120
 what is outside

00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:05.899
 of this cover

00:07:05.899 --> 00:07:07.959
 whether before your birth

00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:09.179
 or after your death.

00:07:09.699 --> 00:07:11.139
 And you needn't worry

00:07:11.139 --> 00:07:11.919
 how long

00:07:11.919 --> 00:07:12.719
 the book is

00:07:12.719 --> 00:07:13.279
 or whether

00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:14.479
 it's a comic strip

00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:15.860
 or an epic.

00:07:16.259 --> 00:07:17.020
 The only thing

00:07:17.020 --> 00:07:17.560
 that matters

00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:19.080
 is that you make

00:07:19.080 --> 00:07:20.080
 it a good story.

00:07:21.960 --> 00:07:22.879
 When dealing

00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:23.759
 with the terror

00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:24.220
 of death

00:07:24.220 --> 00:07:25.180
 many people

00:07:25.180 --> 00:07:26.020
 have taken on

00:07:26.020 --> 00:07:26.620
 to live out

00:07:26.620 --> 00:07:27.960
 a good life story

00:07:27.960 --> 00:07:29.200
 by living out

00:07:29.200 --> 00:07:30.980
 their life's desires.

00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:32.600
 Others

00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:33.259
 will focus

00:07:33.259 --> 00:07:33.900
 on the part

00:07:33.900 --> 00:07:34.340
 of life

00:07:34.340 --> 00:07:34.780
 that they can

00:07:34.780 --> 00:07:35.740
 control to live

00:07:35.740 --> 00:07:36.700
 every day

00:07:36.700 --> 00:07:37.400
 to the fullest.

00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:39.500
 What is your

00:07:39.500 --> 00:07:40.360
 approach to life?

00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:43.220
 people may be

00:07:43.220 --> 00:07:43.600
 willing

00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:45.000
 to agree

00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:45.800
 that death

00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:46.819
 remains something

00:07:46.819 --> 00:07:47.620
 to be feared

00:07:47.620 --> 00:07:48.879
 because it's the end

00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:49.740
 of our existence

00:07:49.740 --> 00:07:51.420
 and all that we have

00:07:51.420 --> 00:07:52.500
 worked for in life.

00:07:53.840 --> 00:07:54.180
 Death

00:07:54.180 --> 00:07:55.960
 is violently

00:07:55.960 --> 00:07:57.240
 imposing

00:07:57.240 --> 00:07:58.600
 unconsciousness

00:07:58.600 --> 00:07:59.480
 on someone

00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:01.379
 which is considered

00:08:01.379 --> 00:08:01.939
 a crime.

00:08:03.340 --> 00:08:03.580
 Death

00:08:03.580 --> 00:08:03.960
 is an

00:08:03.960 --> 00:08:04.560
 intuition

00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:06.040
 of life

00:08:06.040 --> 00:08:07.180
 that somewhat

00:08:07.180 --> 00:08:08.840
 and always

00:08:08.840 --> 00:08:09.439
 only

00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:10.240
 appears

00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:11.480
 because something

00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:12.340
 has gone wrong.

00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:13.579
 There's nothing

00:08:13.579 --> 00:08:14.900
 natural about death.

00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:17.300
 Some contemporary

00:08:17.300 --> 00:08:18.000
 thinkers

00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:19.620
 try to neutralize

00:08:19.620 --> 00:08:20.639
 the terror

00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:21.139
 of death

00:08:21.139 --> 00:08:22.560
 by treating it

00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:23.800
 as an inevitable

00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:25.139
 step of life.

00:08:26.660 --> 00:08:27.460
 This account's

00:08:27.460 --> 00:08:28.439
 most favorite

00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:29.980
 popular

00:08:29.980 --> 00:08:31.000
 culture expression

00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:31.780
 is in

00:08:31.780 --> 00:08:32.580
 The Lion King.

00:08:33.580 --> 00:08:34.419
 A young lion

00:08:34.419 --> 00:08:35.600
 is told that

00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:36.940
 though lion

00:08:36.940 --> 00:08:37.899
 eat the antelope

00:08:37.899 --> 00:08:39.040
 they eventually

00:08:39.040 --> 00:08:40.399
 die and fertilize

00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:40.899
 the grass

00:08:40.899 --> 00:08:42.240
 and the antelope

00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:42.899
 eat the grass.

00:08:43.659 --> 00:08:44.440
 So it all

00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:45.680
 connected

00:08:45.680 --> 00:08:46.560
 in a great

00:08:46.560 --> 00:08:47.399
 circle of life.

00:08:49.240 --> 00:08:50.519
 On the surface

00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:51.120
 there is

00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:52.139
 something attractive

00:08:52.139 --> 00:08:52.860
 about this

00:08:52.860 --> 00:08:53.500
 circle of life

00:08:53.500 --> 00:08:53.920
 approach.

00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:55.460
 Our life

00:08:55.460 --> 00:08:56.159
 will contribute

00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:57.580
 to something

00:08:57.580 --> 00:08:58.700
 to value something

00:08:58.700 --> 00:08:59.540
 no matter how

00:08:59.540 --> 00:09:00.560
 many failures

00:09:00.560 --> 00:09:01.580
 or mistakes

00:09:01.580 --> 00:09:02.259
 we have made.

00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:03.920
 But if you

00:09:03.920 --> 00:09:04.580
 think deeply

00:09:04.580 --> 00:09:05.700
 think deeper

00:09:05.700 --> 00:09:07.400
 it's being

00:09:07.400 --> 00:09:08.020
 recycled

00:09:08.020 --> 00:09:08.800
 fertilizer

00:09:08.800 --> 00:09:09.759
 how you want

00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:10.120
 others

00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:10.820
 to summarize

00:09:10.820 --> 00:09:11.480
 your life.

00:09:12.980 --> 00:09:13.600
 But that is

00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:14.420
 what our

00:09:14.420 --> 00:09:15.440
 popular culture

00:09:15.440 --> 00:09:16.460
 encourages us to do

00:09:16.460 --> 00:09:17.720
 to deal with

00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:18.680
 the unchangeable

00:09:18.680 --> 00:09:19.879
 inevitable

00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:21.000
 effects of

00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:22.080
 human destiny

00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:26.700
 or to accept

00:09:26.700 --> 00:09:27.120
 hope

00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:29.140
 or to have hope

00:09:29.140 --> 00:09:29.660
 is just to

00:09:29.660 --> 00:09:30.300
 accept the

00:09:30.300 --> 00:09:31.240
 inevitability

00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:32.280
 of life.

00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:34.360
 atheists

00:09:34.360 --> 00:09:34.799
 philosophers

00:09:34.799 --> 00:09:35.799
 often consider

00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:37.059
 religious people

00:09:37.059 --> 00:09:38.179
 less enlightened

00:09:38.179 --> 00:09:39.500
 and primitive

00:09:39.500 --> 00:09:40.740
 because they

00:09:40.740 --> 00:09:41.679
 rely on something

00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:42.459
 supernatural

00:09:42.459 --> 00:09:43.799
 that cannot

00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:45.079
 empirically

00:09:45.079 --> 00:09:46.079
 prove to exist.

00:09:47.100 --> 00:09:47.559
 However

00:09:47.559 --> 00:09:48.539
 they also

00:09:48.539 --> 00:09:49.519
 cannot verify

00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:50.159
 that God

00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:51.299
 does not exist.

00:09:52.500 --> 00:09:52.860
 Secular

00:09:52.860 --> 00:09:53.379
 thinkers

00:09:53.379 --> 00:09:54.379
 seem to believe

00:09:54.379 --> 00:09:55.539
 we can rationalize

00:09:55.539 --> 00:09:56.100
 the terror

00:09:56.100 --> 00:09:56.659
 and fear

00:09:56.659 --> 00:09:57.220
 we feel

00:09:57.220 --> 00:09:58.519
 about death

00:09:58.519 --> 00:09:59.579
 by insisting

00:09:59.579 --> 00:10:00.199
 that death

00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:00.700
 is nothing

00:10:00.700 --> 00:10:01.460
 to be afraid

00:10:01.460 --> 00:10:01.780
 of.

00:10:02.780 --> 00:10:03.600
 But even

00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:04.640
 a very young

00:10:04.640 --> 00:10:05.060
 kid

00:10:05.060 --> 00:10:05.800
 realizes

00:10:05.800 --> 00:10:06.400
 death is

00:10:06.400 --> 00:10:06.960
 fearful

00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:08.080
 because it

00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:08.759
 means the

00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:09.400
 end of love.

00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:10.700
 Death

00:10:10.700 --> 00:10:12.020
 tears us away

00:10:12.020 --> 00:10:12.520
 from those

00:10:12.520 --> 00:10:12.980
 we love

00:10:12.980 --> 00:10:13.840
 from the

00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:14.440
 relationships

00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:14.960
 that make

00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:15.820
 life meaningful.

00:10:17.220 --> 00:10:18.040
 We feel

00:10:18.040 --> 00:10:18.500
 death

00:10:18.500 --> 00:10:19.320
 because

00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:20.540
 also because

00:10:20.540 --> 00:10:21.120
 we are not

00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:21.540
 sure

00:10:21.540 --> 00:10:22.820
 that death

00:10:22.820 --> 00:10:24.000
 is the end.

00:10:25.100 --> 00:10:25.540
 No one

00:10:25.540 --> 00:10:26.379
 has been

00:10:26.379 --> 00:10:27.759
 through death

00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:28.659
 and come

00:10:28.659 --> 00:10:29.120
 back to

00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:29.620
 tell us

00:10:29.620 --> 00:10:30.259
 what is

00:10:30.259 --> 00:10:30.519
 on the

00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:30.720
 other

00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:31.179
 side.

00:10:31.939 --> 00:10:32.399
 All is

00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:32.679
 there,

00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:33.159
 no one.

00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:35.480
 Christianity

00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:36.759
 tells a

00:10:36.759 --> 00:10:37.019
 different

00:10:37.019 --> 00:10:37.819
 resurrection

00:10:37.819 --> 00:10:38.519
 story

00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:39.159
 because

00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:39.659
 Jesus

00:10:39.659 --> 00:10:40.379
 is the

00:10:40.379 --> 00:10:40.860
 person

00:10:40.860 --> 00:10:41.340
 that

00:10:41.340 --> 00:10:41.519
 has

00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:41.939
 conquered

00:10:41.939 --> 00:10:42.379
 death.

00:10:43.299 --> 00:10:43.639
 Christian

00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:44.039
 hope

00:10:44.039 --> 00:10:44.939
 explains

00:10:44.939 --> 00:10:45.600
 why we

00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:45.819
 feel

00:10:45.819 --> 00:10:46.179
 death

00:10:46.179 --> 00:10:46.519
 is so

00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:47.039
 unnatural

00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:47.799
 and

00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:48.419
 help us

00:10:48.419 --> 00:10:49.220
 to face

00:10:49.220 --> 00:10:49.759
 even

00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:50.299
 triumph

00:10:50.299 --> 00:10:51.559
 over it.

00:10:52.419 --> 00:10:53.059
 Death

00:10:53.059 --> 00:10:53.740
 feels

00:10:53.740 --> 00:10:54.439
 unnatural

00:10:54.439 --> 00:10:54.939
 because

00:10:54.939 --> 00:10:55.460
 it's not

00:10:55.460 --> 00:10:55.899
 part of

00:10:55.899 --> 00:10:56.200
 God's

00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:56.620
 original

00:10:56.620 --> 00:10:57.179
 design.

00:10:57.759 --> 00:10:58.379
 The book

00:10:58.379 --> 00:10:58.879
 of Genesis

00:10:58.879 --> 00:10:59.439
 explains

00:10:59.439 --> 00:10:59.840
 that

00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:00.919
 God

00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:01.419
 did not

00:11:01.419 --> 00:11:01.720
 create

00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:02.039
 humans

00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:02.679
 to age,

00:11:03.179 --> 00:11:03.480
 weaken,

00:11:04.019 --> 00:11:04.379
 fade,

00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:05.000
 or die.

00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:06.159
 We were

00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:07.740
 not made

00:11:07.740 --> 00:11:08.500
 for love

00:11:08.500 --> 00:11:09.220
 relationship

00:11:09.220 --> 00:11:10.340
 that ends

00:11:10.340 --> 00:11:11.200
 in death.

00:11:12.259 --> 00:11:12.620
 Death

00:11:12.620 --> 00:11:13.019
 is an

00:11:13.019 --> 00:11:13.740
 intrusion

00:11:13.740 --> 00:11:14.460
 resulting

00:11:14.460 --> 00:11:15.259
 from sin

00:11:15.259 --> 00:11:15.980
 and our

00:11:15.980 --> 00:11:16.960
 human race

00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:17.700
 turning away

00:11:17.700 --> 00:11:18.240
 from God.

00:11:18.620 --> 00:11:19.279
 But God

00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:19.919
 has not

00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:20.480
 turned away

00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:21.039
 from us.

00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:22.919
 The New

00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:23.340
 Testament

00:11:23.340 --> 00:11:23.779
 letter

00:11:23.779 --> 00:11:24.259
 to the

00:11:24.259 --> 00:11:24.659
 Hebrews

00:11:24.659 --> 00:11:25.220
 explains

00:11:25.220 --> 00:11:25.559
 that

00:11:25.559 --> 00:11:26.100
 God

00:11:26.100 --> 00:11:26.399
 sent

00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:26.980
 Jesus

00:11:26.980 --> 00:11:27.620
 the

00:11:27.620 --> 00:11:28.080
 immortal

00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:28.420
 son

00:11:28.420 --> 00:11:28.980
 of God

00:11:28.980 --> 00:11:29.460
 into

00:11:29.460 --> 00:11:29.700
 the

00:11:29.700 --> 00:11:30.039
 world.

00:11:30.820 --> 00:11:31.220
 Shame

00:11:31.220 --> 00:11:31.500
 is

00:11:31.500 --> 00:11:31.820
 in

00:11:31.820 --> 00:11:32.039
 our

00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:32.800
 humanity

00:11:32.800 --> 00:11:33.500
 and

00:11:33.500 --> 00:11:33.840
 becoming

00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:34.240
 subject

00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:34.480
 to

00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:34.840
 weakness

00:11:34.840 --> 00:11:35.139
 and

00:11:35.139 --> 00:11:35.539
 death

00:11:35.539 --> 00:11:36.800
 so that

00:11:36.800 --> 00:11:37.300
 by his

00:11:37.300 --> 00:11:37.700
 death

00:11:37.700 --> 00:11:38.420
 he

00:11:38.420 --> 00:11:38.659
 may

00:11:38.659 --> 00:11:39.039
 break

00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:39.279
 the

00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:39.600
 power

00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:40.060
 of him

00:11:40.060 --> 00:11:40.779
 who holds

00:11:40.779 --> 00:11:41.220
 the power

00:11:41.220 --> 00:11:41.620
 of death

00:11:41.620 --> 00:11:42.720
 and free

00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:43.220
 those

00:11:43.220 --> 00:11:43.980
 who

00:11:43.980 --> 00:11:45.120
 all their

00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:45.539
 lives

00:11:45.539 --> 00:11:46.100
 were held

00:11:46.100 --> 00:11:46.720
 in slavery

00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:47.320
 by their

00:11:47.320 --> 00:11:47.800
 fear of

00:11:47.800 --> 00:11:48.100
 death.

00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:49.840
 God

00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:50.620
 solved

00:11:50.620 --> 00:11:50.879
 our

00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:51.360
 dilemma

00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:52.240
 of being

00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:52.659
 trapped

00:11:52.659 --> 00:11:53.220
 in sin

00:11:53.220 --> 00:11:53.700
 and death

00:11:53.700 --> 00:11:54.700
 by becoming

00:11:54.700 --> 00:11:55.080
 our

00:11:55.080 --> 00:11:55.639
 substitute.

00:11:55.639 --> 00:11:57.100
 Jesus

00:11:57.100 --> 00:11:57.519
 went

00:11:57.519 --> 00:11:57.919
 before

00:11:57.919 --> 00:11:58.360
 us

00:11:58.360 --> 00:11:58.600
 to

00:11:58.600 --> 00:11:58.799
 the

00:11:58.799 --> 00:11:59.179
 cross

00:11:59.179 --> 00:11:59.879
 to

00:11:59.879 --> 00:12:00.220
 pay

00:12:00.220 --> 00:12:00.439
 for

00:12:00.439 --> 00:12:00.639
 the

00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:01.100
 punishment

00:12:01.100 --> 00:12:01.379
 of

00:12:01.379 --> 00:12:01.620
 us

00:12:01.620 --> 00:12:02.179
 turning

00:12:02.179 --> 00:12:02.500
 away

00:12:02.500 --> 00:12:02.720
 from

00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:03.039
 God.

00:12:04.259 --> 00:12:04.899
 This

00:12:04.899 --> 00:12:05.199
 coming

00:12:05.199 --> 00:12:05.679
 Friday

00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:06.399
 is

00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:06.600
 Good

00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:07.019
 Friday

00:12:07.019 --> 00:12:07.759
 followed

00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:08.019
 by

00:12:08.019 --> 00:12:08.220
 Easter

00:12:08.220 --> 00:12:08.659
 Sunday.

00:12:08.899 --> 00:12:09.179
 We'll

00:12:09.179 --> 00:12:09.480
 speak

00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:09.779
 more

00:12:09.779 --> 00:12:10.080
 about

00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:10.319
 the

00:12:10.319 --> 00:12:10.639
 Christian

00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:11.100
 resurrection

00:12:11.100 --> 00:12:11.819
 story

00:12:11.819 --> 00:12:12.799
 and how

00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:13.100
 Jesus

00:12:13.100 --> 00:12:13.439
 broke

00:12:13.439 --> 00:12:13.779
 death

00:12:13.779 --> 00:12:14.860
 and

00:12:14.860 --> 00:12:15.220
 power

00:12:15.220 --> 00:12:15.559
 over

00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:15.860
 us

00:12:15.860 --> 00:12:16.519
 by

00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:16.879
 dying

00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:17.039
 in

00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:17.199
 our

00:12:17.199 --> 00:12:17.539
 place

00:12:17.539 --> 00:12:17.799
 and

00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:18.019
 pay

00:12:18.019 --> 00:12:18.240
 our

00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:18.659
 penalty.

00:12:18.659 --> 00:12:21.059
 God

00:12:21.059 --> 00:12:21.579
 saved

00:12:21.579 --> 00:12:22.159
 Christian

00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:22.679
 in the

00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:22.939
 hope

00:12:22.939 --> 00:12:23.600
 of

00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:23.839
 being

00:12:23.839 --> 00:12:24.279
 fully

00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:24.799
 adopted

00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:25.339
 as

00:12:25.339 --> 00:12:25.539
 his

00:12:25.539 --> 00:12:25.919
 children

00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:27.059
 and

00:12:27.059 --> 00:12:27.199
 in

00:12:27.199 --> 00:12:27.339
 the

00:12:27.339 --> 00:12:27.539
 hope

00:12:27.539 --> 00:12:27.759
 of

00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:28.000
 full

00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:29.159
 redemption

00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:29.500
 of

00:12:29.500 --> 00:12:29.679
 our

00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:30.120
 bodies.

00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:31.740
 Christian

00:12:31.740 --> 00:12:32.179
 hope

00:12:32.179 --> 00:12:33.120
 does not

00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:33.360
 only

00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:33.779
 address

00:12:33.779 --> 00:12:34.019
 where

00:12:34.019 --> 00:12:34.179
 we

00:12:34.179 --> 00:12:34.279
 are

00:12:34.279 --> 00:12:34.759
 going

00:12:34.759 --> 00:12:35.319
 and

00:12:35.319 --> 00:12:35.539
 give

00:12:35.539 --> 00:12:35.699
 us

00:12:35.699 --> 00:12:35.919
 hope

00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:36.079
 for

00:12:36.079 --> 00:12:36.399
 life

00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:36.659
 after

00:12:36.659 --> 00:12:37.100
 death.

00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:38.240
 Christian

00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:38.579
 hope

00:12:38.579 --> 00:12:39.259
 has

00:12:39.259 --> 00:12:39.539
 also

00:12:39.539 --> 00:12:39.899
 three

00:12:39.899 --> 00:12:40.519
 distinct

00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:40.860
 and

00:12:40.860 --> 00:12:41.159
 unique

00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:41.919
 characteristics.

00:12:42.959 --> 00:12:43.299
 It is

00:12:43.299 --> 00:12:44.159
 personal,

00:12:44.959 --> 00:12:45.339
 concrete,

00:12:45.939 --> 00:12:46.220
 and

00:12:46.220 --> 00:12:46.720
 fulfilling.

00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:50.340
 Christian

00:12:50.340 --> 00:12:50.639
 hope

00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:51.120
 is

00:12:51.120 --> 00:12:51.680
 personal

00:12:51.680 --> 00:12:52.560
 because

00:12:52.560 --> 00:12:52.899
 Jesus

00:12:52.899 --> 00:12:53.500
 told us

00:12:53.500 --> 00:12:53.740
 in

00:12:53.740 --> 00:12:54.040
 John

00:12:54.040 --> 00:12:54.460
 14

00:12:54.460 --> 00:12:54.820
 2

00:12:54.820 --> 00:12:55.139
 that

00:12:55.139 --> 00:12:55.500
 he

00:12:55.500 --> 00:12:55.700
 was

00:12:55.700 --> 00:12:56.100
 going

00:12:56.100 --> 00:12:56.540
 to

00:12:56.540 --> 00:12:56.759
 his

00:12:56.759 --> 00:12:57.240
 father's

00:12:57.240 --> 00:12:57.500
 house

00:12:57.500 --> 00:12:57.840
 to

00:12:57.840 --> 00:12:58.180
 prepare

00:12:58.180 --> 00:12:58.379
 a

00:12:58.379 --> 00:12:58.680
 place

00:12:58.680 --> 00:12:58.920
 for

00:12:58.920 --> 00:12:59.180
 us.

00:12:59.980 --> 00:13:00.220
 We

00:13:00.220 --> 00:13:00.460
 call

00:13:00.460 --> 00:13:00.639
 that

00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:01.060
 place

00:13:01.060 --> 00:13:01.660
 heaven.

00:13:02.940 --> 00:13:03.620
 What

00:13:03.620 --> 00:13:03.920
 mean

00:13:03.920 --> 00:13:04.580
 imagery

00:13:04.580 --> 00:13:05.480
 do you

00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:05.899
 have

00:13:05.899 --> 00:13:06.340
 when

00:13:06.340 --> 00:13:06.480
 you

00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:06.700
 think

00:13:06.700 --> 00:13:06.860
 of

00:13:06.860 --> 00:13:07.160
 heaven?

00:13:09.139 --> 00:13:09.680
 Would

00:13:09.680 --> 00:13:09.980
 it be

00:13:09.980 --> 00:13:10.279
 a

00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:10.560
 picture

00:13:10.560 --> 00:13:10.779
 of

00:13:10.779 --> 00:13:11.139
 people

00:13:11.139 --> 00:13:11.460
 dressed

00:13:11.460 --> 00:13:11.639
 in

00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:11.899
 white

00:13:11.899 --> 00:13:12.279
 robe

00:13:12.279 --> 00:13:13.019
 floating

00:13:13.019 --> 00:13:13.360
 on

00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:13.779
 clouds

00:13:13.779 --> 00:13:14.040
 with

00:13:14.040 --> 00:13:14.360
 halves?

00:13:15.660 --> 00:13:16.320
 There's

00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:16.660
 the common

00:13:16.660 --> 00:13:17.220
 misunderstanding

00:13:17.220 --> 00:13:18.060
 of

00:13:18.060 --> 00:13:18.379
 heaven

00:13:18.379 --> 00:13:19.240
 being a

00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:19.720
 consumer

00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:20.540
 paradise

00:13:20.540 --> 00:13:21.360
 where

00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:21.720
 all the

00:13:21.720 --> 00:13:22.180
 pleasure

00:13:22.180 --> 00:13:22.920
 and comfort

00:13:22.920 --> 00:13:23.260
 human

00:13:23.260 --> 00:13:23.760

00:13:24.980 --> 00:13:25.240
 on

00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:25.640
 earth

00:13:25.640 --> 00:13:26.080
 are now

00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:26.360
 free

00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:27.140
 for grabs

00:13:27.140 --> 00:13:28.300

00:13:28.300 --> 00:13:28.900

00:13:28.900 --> 00:13:30.020
 religious

00:13:30.020 --> 00:13:31.100
 imagination

00:13:31.100 --> 00:13:32.660
 thinks

00:13:32.660 --> 00:13:33.180
 of heaven

00:13:33.180 --> 00:13:33.820
 as a

00:13:33.820 --> 00:13:34.640
 trouble-free

00:13:35.760 --> 00:13:36.340
 of

00:13:36.340 --> 00:13:36.720
 ease.

00:13:38.300 --> 00:13:39.000
 I

00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:39.360
 believe

00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:39.840
 secular

00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:40.340
 thinkers

00:13:40.340 --> 00:13:40.980

00:13:40.980 --> 00:13:41.460
 merit

00:13:41.460 --> 00:13:42.000
 in

00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:42.460

00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:03.700
 hope.

00:16:03.700 --> 00:16:05.379
 nothing

00:16:05.379 --> 00:16:05.940
 is

00:16:05.940 --> 00:16:06.200
 more

00:16:06.200 --> 00:16:06.900
 transforming

00:16:06.900 --> 00:16:07.660
 than

00:16:07.660 --> 00:16:07.840
 when

00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:08.120
 someone

00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:08.420
 makes

00:16:08.420 --> 00:16:08.620
 a

00:16:08.620 --> 00:16:09.000
 powerful

00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:09.780
 decoration

00:16:09.780 --> 00:16:10.360
 to

00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:10.860
 express

00:16:10.860 --> 00:16:12.060
 an

00:16:12.060 --> 00:16:12.560
 expression

00:16:12.560 --> 00:16:12.840
 of

00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:13.080
 love

00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:13.420
 towards

00:16:13.420 --> 00:16:13.759
 us.

00:16:14.820 --> 00:16:15.060
 And

00:16:15.060 --> 00:16:15.300
 Jesus

00:16:15.300 --> 00:16:15.620
 did

00:16:15.620 --> 00:16:15.860
 that

00:16:15.860 --> 00:16:16.120
 two

00:16:16.120 --> 00:16:16.379
 thousand

00:16:16.379 --> 00:16:16.600
 years

00:16:16.600 --> 00:16:16.840
 ago.

00:16:17.780 --> 00:16:18.180
 In

00:16:18.180 --> 00:16:18.440
 this

00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:18.879
 world

00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:19.820
 we do

00:16:19.820 --> 00:16:20.000
 not

00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:20.220
 have

00:16:20.220 --> 00:16:20.420
 a

00:16:20.420 --> 00:16:20.920
 perfect

00:16:20.920 --> 00:16:21.800
 holy

00:16:21.800 --> 00:16:22.320
 and

00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:22.900
 utterly

00:16:22.900 --> 00:16:23.640
 other

00:16:23.640 --> 00:16:24.160
 centered

00:16:24.160 --> 00:16:25.120
 relationship.

00:16:25.800 --> 00:16:26.620
 So it

00:16:26.620 --> 00:16:27.000
 is suitable

00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:27.680
 for us

00:16:27.680 --> 00:16:28.759
 to hope

00:16:28.759 --> 00:16:29.420
 and long

00:16:29.420 --> 00:16:29.879
 for one.

00:16:30.640 --> 00:16:31.460
 We hope

00:16:31.460 --> 00:16:31.820
 for it

00:16:31.820 --> 00:16:32.340
 because we

00:16:32.340 --> 00:16:32.660
 have not

00:16:32.660 --> 00:16:33.180
 seen it.

00:16:33.700 --> 00:16:34.140
 Like

00:16:34.140 --> 00:16:34.400
 Romans

00:16:34.400 --> 00:16:34.700
 8

00:16:34.700 --> 00:16:35.220
 24

00:16:35.220 --> 00:16:35.420
 to

00:16:35.420 --> 00:16:35.800
 25

00:16:35.800 --> 00:16:36.240
 say

00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:37.160
 hope

00:16:37.160 --> 00:16:37.400
 that

00:16:37.400 --> 00:16:37.600
 is

00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:37.860
 seen

00:16:37.860 --> 00:16:38.020
 is

00:16:38.020 --> 00:16:38.220
 not

00:16:38.220 --> 00:16:38.460
 hope

00:16:38.460 --> 00:16:38.640
 at

00:16:38.640 --> 00:16:38.920
 all.

00:16:39.460 --> 00:16:39.560
 Who

00:16:39.560 --> 00:16:39.860
 hopes

00:16:39.860 --> 00:16:40.060
 for

00:16:40.060 --> 00:16:40.280
 what

00:16:40.280 --> 00:16:40.420
 they

00:16:40.420 --> 00:16:40.660
 already

00:16:40.660 --> 00:16:41.040
 have?

00:16:41.460 --> 00:16:41.620
 But

00:16:41.620 --> 00:16:41.800
 if

00:16:41.800 --> 00:16:41.920
 you

00:16:41.920 --> 00:16:42.120
 hope

00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:42.259
 for

00:16:42.259 --> 00:16:42.440
 what

00:16:42.440 --> 00:16:42.580
 we

00:16:42.580 --> 00:16:42.740
 do

00:16:42.740 --> 00:16:42.900
 not

00:16:42.900 --> 00:16:43.120
 yet

00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:43.440
 have,

00:16:43.700 --> 00:16:44.060
 wait

00:16:44.060 --> 00:16:44.300
 for

00:16:44.300 --> 00:16:44.460
 it

00:16:44.460 --> 00:16:45.040
 patiently.

00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:46.180
 In

00:16:46.180 --> 00:16:46.660
 Christ,

00:16:47.140 --> 00:16:47.340
 God

00:16:47.340 --> 00:16:47.980
 demonstrates

00:16:47.980 --> 00:16:48.300
 his

00:16:48.300 --> 00:16:48.640
 love

00:16:48.640 --> 00:16:49.080
 and

00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:49.520
 acceptance

00:16:49.520 --> 00:16:49.800
 for

00:16:49.800 --> 00:16:50.100
 you

00:16:50.100 --> 00:16:50.720
 beyond

00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:50.960
 what

00:16:50.960 --> 00:16:51.100
 we

00:16:51.100 --> 00:16:51.280
 can

00:16:51.280 --> 00:16:51.860
 understand

00:16:51.860 --> 00:16:52.040
 or

00:16:52.040 --> 00:16:52.440
 imagine.

00:16:53.540 --> 00:16:53.700
 He

00:16:53.700 --> 00:16:54.500
 personally

00:16:54.500 --> 00:16:55.820
 ensured

00:16:55.820 --> 00:16:56.100
 our

00:16:56.100 --> 00:16:56.600
 entry

00:16:56.600 --> 00:16:56.860
 to

00:16:56.860 --> 00:16:57.180
 heaven

00:16:57.180 --> 00:16:57.860
 so

00:16:57.860 --> 00:16:58.040
 that

00:16:58.040 --> 00:16:58.180
 we

00:16:58.180 --> 00:16:58.360
 can

00:16:58.360 --> 00:16:58.940
 experience

00:16:58.940 --> 00:16:59.140
 the

00:16:59.140 --> 00:16:59.580
 divine

00:16:59.580 --> 00:17:00.240
 love.

00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:01.900
 Christ

00:17:01.899 --> 00:17:02.159
 has

00:17:02.159 --> 00:17:02.579
 spoken

00:17:02.579 --> 00:17:02.819
 the

00:17:02.819 --> 00:17:03.199
 claim

00:17:03.199 --> 00:17:04.019
 of

00:17:04.019 --> 00:17:04.420
 sin

00:17:04.420 --> 00:17:04.619
 on

00:17:04.619 --> 00:17:04.879
 us

00:17:04.879 --> 00:17:05.299
 through

00:17:05.299 --> 00:17:05.480
 his

00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:05.839
 suffering

00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:06.059
 and

00:17:06.059 --> 00:17:06.379
 death.

00:17:07.500 --> 00:17:07.839
 We

00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:08.099
 might

00:17:08.099 --> 00:17:08.480
 physically

00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:09.119
 die,

00:17:09.559 --> 00:17:09.720
 but

00:17:09.720 --> 00:17:10.059
 death

00:17:10.059 --> 00:17:10.559
 become

00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:11.299
 only

00:17:11.299 --> 00:17:11.740
 an

00:17:11.740 --> 00:17:12.160
 entry

00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:12.480
 way

00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:12.680
 to

00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:13.160
 eternal

00:17:13.160 --> 00:17:13.579
 life

00:17:13.579 --> 00:17:13.839
 with

00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:14.220
 Christ.

00:17:16.099 --> 00:17:16.879
 Christian

00:17:16.879 --> 00:17:17.139
 hope

00:17:17.139 --> 00:17:17.539
 is also

00:17:17.539 --> 00:17:18.119
 concrete.

00:17:20.759 --> 00:17:21.039
 We

00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:21.799
 must

00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:22.079
 also

00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:22.559
 remember

00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:22.980
 that

00:17:22.980 --> 00:17:23.559
 eternal

00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:24.019
 life

00:17:24.019 --> 00:17:24.220
 that

00:17:24.220 --> 00:17:24.400
 the

00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:24.660
 Bible

00:17:24.660 --> 00:17:25.279
 promised

00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:25.920
 is

00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:26.099
 not

00:17:26.099 --> 00:17:26.539
 simply

00:17:26.539 --> 00:17:26.799
 that

00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:27.000
 we

00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:27.879
 live

00:17:27.879 --> 00:17:28.379
 forever

00:17:28.379 --> 00:17:29.119
 in

00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:29.299
 an

00:17:29.299 --> 00:17:30.019
 immaterial

00:17:30.019 --> 00:17:30.980
 spiritual

00:17:30.980 --> 00:17:31.680
 paradise,

00:17:31.900 --> 00:17:32.420
 removed

00:17:32.420 --> 00:17:32.600
 from

00:17:32.600 --> 00:17:32.840
 this

00:17:32.840 --> 00:17:33.140
 world.

00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:34.660
 The

00:17:34.660 --> 00:17:35.200
 salvation

00:17:35.200 --> 00:17:35.860
 of

00:17:35.860 --> 00:17:36.080
 this

00:17:36.080 --> 00:17:36.540
 world

00:17:36.540 --> 00:17:37.019
 we

00:17:37.019 --> 00:17:37.259
 live

00:17:37.259 --> 00:17:37.519
 in

00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:37.940
 is

00:17:37.940 --> 00:17:38.140
 what

00:17:38.140 --> 00:17:38.500
 Christians

00:17:38.500 --> 00:17:38.860
 hope

00:17:38.860 --> 00:17:39.200
 for

00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:40.400
 along

00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:40.620
 with

00:17:40.620 --> 00:17:40.800
 our

00:17:40.800 --> 00:17:41.220
 soul

00:17:41.220 --> 00:17:41.460
 and

00:17:41.460 --> 00:17:41.860
 bodies

00:17:41.860 --> 00:17:42.580
 which

00:17:42.580 --> 00:17:42.759
 is

00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:43.040
 why

00:17:43.040 --> 00:17:43.420
 Christian

00:17:43.420 --> 00:17:43.680
 hope

00:17:43.680 --> 00:17:43.860
 is

00:17:43.860 --> 00:17:44.420
 concrete.

 Chapter

 21 and

00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:48.640
 22 of

00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:49.040
 Revelation

00:17:49.040 --> 00:17:49.420
 where

00:17:49.420 --> 00:17:49.740
 Steve

00:17:49.740 --> 00:17:50.160
 let us

00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:50.660
 just stand

00:17:50.660 --> 00:17:50.820
 in

00:17:50.820 --> 00:17:51.100
 prayer

00:17:51.100 --> 00:17:51.940
 describe

00:17:51.940 --> 00:17:52.440
 the

00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:52.720
 end

00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:52.880
 of

00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:53.400
 history.

00:17:55.500 --> 00:17:55.780
 We

00:17:55.780 --> 00:17:56.340
 do not

00:17:56.340 --> 00:17:56.860
 ascend

00:17:56.860 --> 00:17:57.080
 to

00:17:57.080 --> 00:17:57.420
 heaven

00:17:57.420 --> 00:17:58.200
 but

00:17:58.200 --> 00:17:58.759
 God's

00:17:58.759 --> 00:17:59.220
 heavenly

00:17:59.220 --> 00:17:59.900
 glory

00:17:59.900 --> 00:18:00.180
 and

00:18:00.180 --> 00:18:00.820
 purifying

00:18:00.820 --> 00:18:01.400
 beauty

00:18:01.400 --> 00:18:01.720
 and

00:18:01.720 --> 00:18:02.140
 power

00:18:02.140 --> 00:18:02.940
 descend

00:18:02.940 --> 00:18:03.380
 to

00:18:03.380 --> 00:18:03.800
 renew

00:18:03.800 --> 00:18:04.120
 this

00:18:04.120 --> 00:18:04.820
 material

00:18:04.820 --> 00:18:05.320
 world.

00:18:06.580 --> 00:18:07.000
 Evil,

00:18:07.600 --> 00:18:08.100
 suffering,

00:18:08.680 --> 00:18:09.160
 aging,

00:18:09.800 --> 00:18:10.340
 disease,

00:18:10.860 --> 00:18:11.259
 poverty,

00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:12.220
 injustice,

00:18:12.420 --> 00:18:12.800
 and pain

00:18:12.800 --> 00:18:13.620
 are forever

00:18:13.620 --> 00:18:14.200
 removed.

00:18:15.940 --> 00:18:16.320
 Christians

00:18:16.320 --> 00:18:17.440
 look forward

00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:18.820
 to the

00:18:18.820 --> 00:18:19.220
 redemption

00:18:19.220 --> 00:18:19.600
 of their

00:18:19.600 --> 00:18:20.080
 body and

00:18:20.080 --> 00:18:20.360
 soul

00:18:20.360 --> 00:18:20.980
 as in

00:18:20.980 --> 00:18:21.240
 Romans

00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:22.300
 8.23

00:18:22.300 --> 00:18:24.120
 resurrecting

00:18:24.120 --> 00:18:24.500
 into a

00:18:24.500 --> 00:18:24.940
 new body

00:18:24.940 --> 00:18:25.360
 as Jesus

00:18:25.360 --> 00:18:25.720
 did.

00:18:26.540 --> 00:18:26.880
 Christian

00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:27.180
 hope

00:18:27.180 --> 00:18:27.740
 promised

00:18:27.740 --> 00:18:28.100
 that

00:18:28.100 --> 00:18:28.680
 we will

00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:28.880
 not

00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:29.180
 simply

00:18:29.180 --> 00:18:29.640
 get our

00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:29.940
 life

00:18:29.940 --> 00:18:30.320
 back

00:18:30.320 --> 00:18:30.940
 but

00:18:30.940 --> 00:18:32.140
 the

00:18:32.140 --> 00:18:32.440
 one

00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:32.600
 that

00:18:32.600 --> 00:18:32.740
 we

00:18:32.740 --> 00:18:32.900
 have

00:18:32.900 --> 00:18:33.259
 will

00:18:33.259 --> 00:18:33.480
 get

00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:33.680
 back

00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:33.840
 a

00:18:33.840 --> 00:18:34.080
 life

00:18:34.080 --> 00:18:34.340
 that

00:18:34.340 --> 00:18:34.880
 we

00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:35.180
 always

00:18:35.180 --> 00:18:35.600
 long

00:18:35.600 --> 00:18:35.960
 for

00:18:35.960 --> 00:18:36.680
 and

00:18:36.680 --> 00:18:36.880
 which

00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:37.020
 we

00:18:37.020 --> 00:18:37.220
 have

00:18:37.220 --> 00:18:37.520
 never

00:18:37.520 --> 00:18:38.060
 achieved.

00:18:39.380 --> 00:18:39.820
 Christianity

00:18:39.820 --> 00:18:41.080
 is the

00:18:41.080 --> 00:18:42.100
 only religion

00:18:42.100 --> 00:18:43.320
 that holds

00:18:43.320 --> 00:18:43.940
 our hope

00:18:43.940 --> 00:18:44.759
 for the

00:18:44.759 --> 00:18:45.220
 salvation

00:18:45.220 --> 00:18:45.920
 of this

00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:46.360
 world

00:18:46.360 --> 00:18:47.280
 along with

00:18:47.280 --> 00:18:47.759
 our souls

00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:48.240
 and body

00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:49.880
 and it's

00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:50.800
 not a

00:18:50.800 --> 00:18:51.160
 thing that

00:18:51.160 --> 00:18:51.600
 will get

00:18:51.600 --> 00:18:51.900
 even

00:18:51.900 --> 00:18:52.400
 better

00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:54.240
 get

00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:54.759
 eventually

00:18:54.759 --> 00:18:55.120
 better

00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:55.779
 hope

00:18:55.779 --> 00:18:56.979
 Christian

00:18:56.979 --> 00:18:57.459
 hope

00:18:57.459 --> 00:18:58.299
 is

00:18:58.299 --> 00:18:59.119
 concrete

00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:00.159
 as

00:19:00.159 --> 00:19:00.659
 concrete

00:19:00.659 --> 00:19:01.139
 as

00:19:01.139 --> 00:19:01.979
 the

00:19:01.979 --> 00:19:02.399
 resurrection

00:19:02.399 --> 00:19:02.959

00:19:09.979 --> 00:19:10.179
 the

00:19:10.179 --> 00:19:10.599
 barrier

00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:11.000
 between

00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:11.199
 the

00:19:11.199 --> 00:19:11.739
 ideal

00:19:11.739 --> 00:19:12.159

00:19:17.099 --> 00:19:18.219
 it

00:19:18.219 --> 00:19:18.579

00:19:18.579 --> 00:19:18.839
 them
