00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.759
 We're going to begin our worship this evening by singing to God's praise. We're singing in Psalm 40, the Scottish Psalter Version, page 259, Psalm 40.

00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:16.719
! I'm going to sing from verse 1 down to the end of the double verse 5.

00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:24.480
 I waited for the Lord my God and patiently did bear. At length to me he didn't climb my voice and cry to hear.

00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:32.240
 He took me from a fearful pit and from the miry clay and on a rock he set my feet, establishing my way.

00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:36.740
 And we thank God that he gives us a new song. He put a new song in my mouth.

00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:43.679
 Our God to magnify. Many shall see it and shall fear and on the Lord rely.

00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:48.039
 We'll stand to sing to God's praise. Psalm 40, verse 1 to 5.

00:00:54.479 --> 00:01:09.920
 I waited for the Lord my God and patiently did bear.

00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:27.120
 A day to me he didn't climb my voice and cry to hear.

00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:53.120
 He took me from a fearful pit and from the miry clay and on a rock he set my feet,

00:01:53.120 --> 00:02:11.120
 He put a new song in my heart.

00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:13.120
 Our God to magnify.

00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:18.120
 Our God to magnify.

00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:36.120
 Then he shall see it and shall hear and on the Lord rely.

00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:54.120
 O blessed is the man whose trust upon the Lord rely.

00:02:54.120 --> 00:03:24.120
 Please, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are, if you are

00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:39.140
 Thou hast done, thy gracious thoughts to us were far.

00:03:39.140 --> 00:03:46.900
 Above all thoughts are gone.

00:03:46.900 --> 00:04:04.759
 In order none can let on end, till ye at end ye bear.

00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:21.759
 And speak of them, I would be more than can be number one.

00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:29.139
 Let's bow our heads in a word of prayer. Let us pray.

00:04:29.139 --> 00:04:40.519
 Lord, our gracious God, we come before you and you this evening thankful for these words that we have sung.

00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:46.979
 Thankful for the reminder to us of all your gracious ways towards us, your gracious thoughts.

00:04:47.620 --> 00:04:51.459
 To us were far above all thoughts are gone, the psalmist says.

00:04:51.459 --> 00:05:00.759
 It just reminds us, Lord, that as we come, we want to give thanks and praise to you for your graciousness towards us in this day.

00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:06.120
 For your goodness to us, Lord, that we have been blessed by you in so many ways.

00:05:06.939 --> 00:05:14.439
 But as we look back to you, Lord, we see that your gracious ways towards us has been throughout our lives, throughout our experiences.

00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:25.939
 The way that you have been patient with us, the way that you have watched over us, the way that you have guided us in every step, even when we're unaware of you.

00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:32.040
 And we do pray and thank you, Lord, for your goodness to us in all of these things.

00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:40.260
 And we thank you, Lord, that you are the one who we have come to wait upon, that you are worth waiting for.

00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:47.800
 And for when we realize, Lord, what a God you are and what you have done for us in Christ Jesus.

00:05:48.500 --> 00:05:54.700
 And what we've been remembering together here this day of the one who was condemned for our sins.

00:05:54.699 --> 00:06:05.599
 And when we think of all that he bore for us, all the suffering, all the shame, all the mocking, all of these things, Lord, that he endured for his people.

00:06:06.139 --> 00:06:12.639
 We can only but come humbly before you, recognizing how unworthy we are.

00:06:13.159 --> 00:06:16.139
 And yet worthy is the lamb who was slain.

00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:20.159
 And we thank you that the praise and glory is to him.

00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:27.720
 And the way that he brings us to that place where we know what it is to trust, what it is to believe,

00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:31.920
 when we are brought from that fearful pit and from the mighty clay,

00:06:32.420 --> 00:06:37.100
 and have our feet set upon that rock, that rock that is Christ.

00:06:37.780 --> 00:06:44.060
 And we thank you for all here this evening who know that security, that faith in him,

00:06:44.060 --> 00:06:48.639
 and that it is not in anything worthy of ourselves that we come boasting,

00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:52.699
 but boasting only in the cross of Jesus Christ.

00:06:53.220 --> 00:06:57.740
 And we thank you this night, Lord, that you have remembered us in these things.

00:06:57.840 --> 00:07:03.439
 And we pray, Lord, that you will give us that song, that new song to praise you,

00:07:03.500 --> 00:07:08.340
 that new song to glorify your name, and to praise you with all our hearts.

00:07:08.339 --> 00:07:13.159
 And we ask, O Lord, that even this evening as we gather for worship,

00:07:13.339 --> 00:07:18.000
 that you would not just give thanks, that we would not just give thanks as people who have believed,

00:07:18.139 --> 00:07:21.560
 but also those who are still waiting on you,

00:07:22.060 --> 00:07:27.179
 those who are still waiting to trust in you or to confess you,

00:07:27.739 --> 00:07:30.079
 those who may be long for it in their hearts.

00:07:30.159 --> 00:07:33.479
 We pray, Lord, that tonight you would give them a new song,

00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:40.020
 and that they would be able to praise and magnify your name in a new way and with a new song.

00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:44.060
 And we do thank you, Lord, for the fellowship of your people.

00:07:44.620 --> 00:07:48.080
 We thank you for the blessings that there are in that unity together,

00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:50.420
 in that fellowship we enjoy,

00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:53.460
 even the peace that we have had this day together.

00:07:53.580 --> 00:07:54.860
 We thank you for that.

00:07:55.340 --> 00:07:58.360
 And we just pray for that peace to continue over us,

00:07:58.860 --> 00:08:02.080
 that as we go from here this night and into the week ahead,

00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:07.639
 that we would go as a people who know your peace with us and among us,

00:08:08.099 --> 00:08:11.300
 that peace that passes all understanding.

00:08:11.939 --> 00:08:15.000
 But there would not be a peace that makes us complacent,

00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:21.019
 but a peace that makes us recognize our dependence is upon you day by day,

00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:25.379
 and that we long to see your blessing over us as a people.

00:08:25.379 --> 00:08:28.819
 We long to see your spirit moving in our midst.

00:08:28.819 --> 00:08:36.100
 We long to see your church being built up in more and more ways and in more and more places.

00:08:36.819 --> 00:08:41.080
 And we do thank you, Lord, that your word reminds us that you are indeed building,

00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:43.939
 that you are a God who is always building.

00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:48.919
 In times you are rebuilding, but always building your church, O Lord,

00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:52.899
 that it would be for your glory throughout all the ends of the earth,

00:08:52.899 --> 00:08:54.919
 that your name would be proclaimed,

00:08:55.579 --> 00:09:01.480
 and that your people would be brought in to you and to the number who are being saved.

00:09:02.100 --> 00:09:06.659
 And so we thank you, Lord, for the church that is yours and the head that is Christ,

00:09:07.220 --> 00:09:10.399
 and the spirit that works all around the world,

00:09:10.939 --> 00:09:13.740
 the spirit that calls, the spirit that convicts,

00:09:13.740 --> 00:09:19.200
 and the work of salvation that we see going on in so many places and so many ways.

00:09:19.580 --> 00:09:21.299
 We thank you that there is one God,

00:09:21.879 --> 00:09:24.060
 and that you are God and Lord of all.

00:09:24.620 --> 00:09:27.799
 And help this world to acknowledge and to recognize that.

00:09:28.220 --> 00:09:31.500
 Help us to always have your name on our lips,

00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:33.899
 confessing you and speaking of you,

00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:36.159
 the wonders of your grace,

00:09:36.360 --> 00:09:38.500
 the wonders of your power,

00:09:39.019 --> 00:09:42.379
 and the wonders of the purpose which we have in this world.

00:09:42.379 --> 00:09:47.460
 For our chief end is to glorify God and to enjoy him forever.

00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:50.799
 And yet so often we are distracted from that.

00:09:50.939 --> 00:09:55.500
 So often there are other things that come into our experience and into our lives,

00:09:56.059 --> 00:09:58.600
 and into our communities, and even into our churches,

00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:02.019
 that keep us from giving that glory to you.

00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:08.740
 And yet we pray, Lord, that you will help us to glorify you and to enjoy you day by day.

00:10:08.740 --> 00:10:14.879
 We thank you, Lord, for all that we are involved in as a church in this community.

00:10:15.019 --> 00:10:17.580
 We thank you for all the meetings of prayer.

00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:20.720
 We pray that you will encourage us in our prayers,

00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:24.580
 that we would always pray and not lose heart.

00:10:25.139 --> 00:10:27.720
 We can often feel that prayers are unanswered,

00:10:27.779 --> 00:10:31.600
 or prayers are not having the impact we would want.

00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:37.420
 We can often be mocked even for prayers offered up that seem to be unanswered.

00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:43.840
 But we thank you, Lord, that your word reminds us that we are always to pray that your will be done.

00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:46.159
 And teach us, Lord, that will.

00:10:46.659 --> 00:10:48.259
 Teach us to know what it is.

00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:51.659
 Teach us to be a people that are able to live in your will,

00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:55.060
 and to delight even in the will of God for us,

00:10:55.059 --> 00:11:00.339
 even when it seems so absurd or so ridiculous to us at times,

00:11:00.419 --> 00:11:04.579
 that we would rejoice in things that seem to bring the church down.

00:11:05.379 --> 00:11:08.299
 And yet, O Lord, as we are reminded so often in your word,

00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:12.919
 it is often in these times when, in our weakness as we see it,

00:11:13.359 --> 00:11:15.739
 that you remind us that you are indeed God,

00:11:16.319 --> 00:11:20.819
 and that you alone are the one who is able to do what is impossible for man.

00:11:20.820 --> 00:11:23.360
 And that is where we come in prayer, Lord,

00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:26.520
 looking to you to help in all our different needs,

00:11:26.800 --> 00:11:29.120
 whether they be personal to ourselves,

00:11:29.760 --> 00:11:33.080
 whether they be very intimate to ourselves,

00:11:33.560 --> 00:11:36.080
 might be things that are unknown to anybody else.

00:11:36.680 --> 00:11:39.140
 And yet we thank you that we can come to you in prayer.

00:11:39.760 --> 00:11:41.680
 And we thank you that collectively we come,

00:11:42.220 --> 00:11:44.820
 that we come as a people who share one another's burdens,

00:11:45.420 --> 00:11:49.340
 who are able to pray for even those who are unable to pray for themselves.

00:11:49.340 --> 00:11:55.259
 And we thank you that we can bring all our cares and our concerns to you in that way.

00:11:55.840 --> 00:11:59.519
 We do ask, O Lord, that you will hear our prayers for those around us,

00:11:59.920 --> 00:12:01.720
 for those who are unwell at this time,

00:12:01.800 --> 00:12:03.080
 for those who are in their homes,

00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:07.000
 those who have maybe had difficult news even in this past week,

00:12:07.620 --> 00:12:10.820
 for those who have been going through or are awaiting surgery,

00:12:11.580 --> 00:12:16.320
 and for those who maybe are very uncertain as to what the future holds for them.

00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:20.780
 And yet, O Lord, we pray that you will bring comfort and help

00:12:20.780 --> 00:12:25.640
 and the presence and peace that only you can in the midst of all such experiences.

00:12:26.580 --> 00:12:29.660
 Remember, Lord, our people around us then.

00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:35.520
 We thank you too, Lord, that our prayers extend throughout our community.

00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:39.939
 We again bring before you all that's been going on in our community

00:12:39.939 --> 00:12:43.819
 with the search for that missing boy, Alexander,

00:12:43.819 --> 00:12:51.120
 and just continue to pray for an outcome that would be in many ways a surprise to us, Lord,

00:12:51.179 --> 00:12:53.439
 but something that we would be able to rejoice in.

00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:56.299
 We thank you for all who have been helping in the search,

00:12:56.360 --> 00:13:00.720
 for all that's been done looking for him and helping the family as well.

00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:03.899
 And we just pray your nearness to all of them,

00:13:04.460 --> 00:13:06.100
 that your peace would be with them.

00:13:06.700 --> 00:13:08.980
 And Lord, we do pray for our communities

00:13:08.980 --> 00:13:15.399
 when we see the direction our community and our islands and even our nation is going.

00:13:16.160 --> 00:13:21.600
 Lord, we spoke so confidently in the past of this being a Christian community.

00:13:22.160 --> 00:13:27.160
 And yet in these days, we recognize that we are in so many ways far from you,

00:13:27.560 --> 00:13:29.840
 and there are so many with no interest in you.

00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:36.740
 And we just pray, Lord, that you will help us to be a people with a purpose to share the gospel,

00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:41.920
 to proclaim the good news, and to show forth the wonders of your work,

00:13:42.139 --> 00:13:45.840
 the wonders that the psalmist speaks of,

00:13:45.940 --> 00:13:49.800
 the wonders that thou hast done that are so numerous and numberless.

00:13:49.980 --> 00:13:52.899
 Lord, we cannot number them for they are so many.

00:13:53.480 --> 00:13:56.120
 But we pray, Lord, for others to see it as well,

00:13:56.120 --> 00:14:02.659
 to see the greatest need in this world and in this life is to find that peace with God.

00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:09.179
 And so we pray, Lord, for all endeavors to reach out to pray for these people.

00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:11.919
 We pray for our nation again, Lord.

00:14:11.980 --> 00:14:13.539
 We commit it to you.

00:14:13.539 --> 00:14:19.360
 We thank you for every congregation of your people up and down our land who are faithful to your word,

00:14:19.860 --> 00:14:23.879
 to your truth, and proclaim it day by day and week by week.

00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:30.699
 We thank you, Lord, that in so many different places we find places of worship,

00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:36.819
 maybe unexpectedly at times, when we think of a people or a place at times,

00:14:36.919 --> 00:14:41.000
 maybe we have visited and we've been surprised to see numbers attending church

00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:42.600
 or numbers believing in you.

00:14:43.059 --> 00:14:48.059
 It is a reminder to us, Lord, that you have your people in every city, in every town,

00:14:48.500 --> 00:14:52.720
 and every village, and that you are building your church throughout our land.

00:14:53.179 --> 00:14:56.039
 And so, Lord, in days when things seem dark,

00:14:56.200 --> 00:15:01.039
 we thank you for the light of the gospel that shines in so many places in so many ways.

00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:04.820
 And we pray for a great harvest in our nation,

00:15:05.259 --> 00:15:07.799
 a great turning of our people, Lord,

00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:10.539
 that we would come to rejoice in you once more.

00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:13.939
 We do pray for your help towards this world.

00:15:14.539 --> 00:15:16.639
 We thank you, Lord, that it is yours,

00:15:17.099 --> 00:15:20.240
 that the earth belongs to the Lord and all that it contains.

00:15:20.859 --> 00:15:23.279
 And we thank you, Lord, that you are God over all.

00:15:23.339 --> 00:15:28.039
 And we just pray for places and people to know the power of your salvation

00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:31.399
 and the power of your word being blessed to them.

00:15:31.899 --> 00:15:34.079
 We thank you, Lord, for our fellowship here,

00:15:34.099 --> 00:15:37.279
 and we pray that you will continue with us in this day.

00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:41.639
 We thank you for the fellowship to meet after the meeting this evening,

00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:45.759
 and pray for Paul and Elizabeth as they come to speak to us.

00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:49.659
 We thank you for their faith and for their witness for you.

00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:53.600
 We pray that we will be encouraged together in that time of fellowship,

00:15:54.220 --> 00:15:57.299
 that you will continue with us into the rest of the evening

00:15:57.299 --> 00:16:00.019
 and even into the week that lies ahead, Lord,

00:16:00.079 --> 00:16:03.699
 that you would guide us and help us, protect us and keep us.

00:16:04.100 --> 00:16:05.100
 We have been encouraged.

00:16:05.100 --> 00:16:06.019
 We have been blessed.

00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:09.040
 And we know that so often when that is the case,

00:16:09.500 --> 00:16:13.920
 we so often come under attack within the moments of leaving here

00:16:13.920 --> 00:16:17.159
 and going into the workplace, going into the community, Lord.

00:16:17.220 --> 00:16:20.580
 We know that we will be vulnerable in so many ways.

00:16:21.180 --> 00:16:23.540
 And we are reminded, Lord, that we are in a battle.

00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:25.920
 But we thank you for the armor of God.

00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:30.339
 We thank you for all the protection you give us by your word, by your spirit,

00:16:30.459 --> 00:16:33.959
 by your truth, and by your promise of presence with us.

00:16:34.339 --> 00:16:35.899
 So hear our prayers, Lord.

00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:38.779
 Continue with us and watch over as we pray.

00:16:38.899 --> 00:16:43.360
 Bless your word to us as we open it up, as we share from it once again.

00:16:43.899 --> 00:16:47.019
 That we will be blessed to each of us in the singing of your praise,

00:16:47.099 --> 00:16:51.759
 that we will lift up our voices to you with that joy in our hearts,

00:16:51.839 --> 00:16:53.219
 that joy of salvation.

00:16:53.220 --> 00:16:55.080
 Hear our prayers, Lord.

00:16:55.180 --> 00:16:59.940
 Continue with us and pardon all our sin as we ask all these things in Jesus' name.

00:17:00.500 --> 00:17:00.920
 Amen.

00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:06.519
 We're going to sing again to God's praise.

00:17:08.680 --> 00:17:10.079
 Psalm 119.

00:17:10.240 --> 00:17:11.600
 And let's sing Psalm's version.

00:17:12.640 --> 00:17:16.019
 Page 167 of the psalm books.

00:17:17.339 --> 00:17:18.680
 Psalm 119.

00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:22.380
 We're singing at verse 161.

00:17:23.220 --> 00:17:26.920
 Psalm 119.

00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:28.759
 Verse 161.

00:17:29.299 --> 00:17:31.079
 We'll sing the whole of this section.

00:17:31.860 --> 00:17:33.920
 The rulers hound me without cause.

00:17:34.460 --> 00:17:36.660
 My heart fears nothing but your word.

00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:38.480
 For in your promise I rejoice.

00:17:38.900 --> 00:17:41.400
 Like one who finds great spoil, O Lord.

00:17:41.980 --> 00:17:44.120
 All falsehood I abhor and hate.

00:17:44.500 --> 00:17:46.460
 With all my heart I love your law.

00:17:46.880 --> 00:17:50.019
 I praise you seven times a day for your commands.

00:17:50.500 --> 00:17:51.980
 I hold in awe.

00:17:51.980 --> 00:17:54.980
 Great peace have those who love your law.

00:17:55.279 --> 00:17:58.059
 They will not stumble in the way.

00:17:58.620 --> 00:18:01.099
 I wait for your salvation, Lord.

00:18:01.559 --> 00:18:03.980
 And your commands I will obey.

00:18:04.660 --> 00:18:06.539
 We'll sing this section of the psalm.

00:18:06.900 --> 00:18:07.900
 Psalm 119.

00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:09.299
 Verse 161.

00:18:09.680 --> 00:18:11.680
 We stand to sing to God's praise.

00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:25.140
 O ruler's end me without cause.

00:18:25.140 --> 00:18:34.140
 My heart fears nothing but your word.

00:18:34.140 --> 00:18:43.340
 For in your promise I rejoice.

00:18:43.340 --> 00:18:52.140
 Like one who finds grace for you, O Lord.

00:18:52.140 --> 00:19:02.420
 All falsehood I abhor and hate.

00:19:02.420 --> 00:19:11.140
 With all my heart I love your law.

00:19:11.140 --> 00:19:21.140
 I praise you seven times a day.

00:19:21.140 --> 00:19:30.140
 For you commands I hold in awe.

00:19:30.140 --> 00:19:40.140
 Great peace have those who love your law.

00:19:40.140 --> 00:19:49.140
 They will not stumble in the way.

00:19:49.140 --> 00:19:59.140
 I wait for you salvation, Lord.

00:19:59.140 --> 00:20:07.420
 And your commands I will obey.

00:20:07.420 --> 00:20:09.420
 I will obey.

00:20:09.420 --> 00:20:18.660
 I will obey your statutes, Lord.

00:20:18.660 --> 00:20:27.779
 My love for him is great and true.

00:20:27.779 --> 00:20:35.779
 Your laws and precepts I obey.

00:20:35.779 --> 00:20:45.779
 For all thy ways are known to you.

00:20:45.779 --> 00:20:55.099
 We'll turn to read together now in the Gospel of Luke once again.

00:20:55.639 --> 00:20:58.599
 We're turning into chapter 24 this evening.

00:21:00.980 --> 00:21:02.240
 Chapter 24.

00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:05.740
 We're going to take up our reading at verse 28.

00:21:05.740 --> 00:21:17.099
 So as we come into this chapter, we see Jesus has been buried at the end of chapter 23.

00:21:17.259 --> 00:21:29.859
 And then beginning on chapter 24, we see the day of the resurrection and how there was a mixture of fear and trembling and delight and joy and unbelief in the midst of it all.

00:21:29.859 --> 00:21:38.399
 It says in verse 11 of chapter 24, but these words seemed to them an idle tale and they did not believe them.

00:21:38.500 --> 00:21:42.279
 So even as people were hearing that the Lord was risen, they wouldn't believe it.

00:21:42.859 --> 00:21:52.740
 And then as we come up to verse 28, we come into the middle of the journey on the road to Emmaus, where two of them were going to that village called Emmaus.

00:21:53.199 --> 00:21:56.899
 And the Lord Jesus came alongside them and started to speak to them.

00:21:56.900 --> 00:22:03.220
 But even in the midst of that, their hearts were downcast and they were wondering who this was.

00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:07.420
 But we come to verse 28 and pick up our reading there.

00:22:08.259 --> 00:22:11.519
 So they drew near to the village to which they were going.

00:22:12.400 --> 00:22:15.320
 He, that's Jesus, acted as if he was going further.

00:22:15.740 --> 00:22:22.759
 But they urged him strongly saying, stay with us, for it is towards evening and the day is now far spent.

00:22:23.340 --> 00:22:25.240
 So he went in to stay with them.

00:22:25.240 --> 00:22:31.500
 When he was at table with them, he took the bread and blessed and broke it and gave it to them.

00:22:32.039 --> 00:22:35.160
 And their eyes were opened and they recognized him.

00:22:35.599 --> 00:22:37.640
 And he vanished from their sight.

00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:46.599
 They said to each other, did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the scriptures?

00:22:46.599 --> 00:22:50.719
 And they rose that same hour and returned to Jerusalem.

00:22:50.719 --> 00:22:55.939
 And they found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together, saying,

00:22:56.559 --> 00:23:00.379
 The Lord has risen indeed and has appeared to Simon.

00:23:01.339 --> 00:23:07.039
 Then they told what had happened on the road and how he was known to them in the breaking of bread.

00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:14.779
 As they were talking about these things, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them,

00:23:15.299 --> 00:23:16.460
 Peace to you.

00:23:17.220 --> 00:23:21.399
 But they were startled and frightened and thought they saw a spirit.

00:23:22.099 --> 00:23:24.619
 And he said to them, Why are you troubled?

00:23:24.899 --> 00:23:27.659
 And why do doubts arise in your hearts?

00:23:27.660 --> 00:23:31.900
 See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself.

00:23:32.580 --> 00:23:33.540
 Touch me and see.

00:23:34.220 --> 00:23:38.820
 For a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.

00:23:39.560 --> 00:23:43.420
 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.

00:23:44.100 --> 00:23:49.519
 And while they still disbelieved for joy and were marveling, he said to them,

00:23:49.720 --> 00:23:51.779
 Have you anything here to eat?

00:23:51.779 --> 00:23:58.180
 They gave him a piece of broiled fish, and he took it and ate before them.

00:23:59.059 --> 00:24:04.940
 Then he said to them, These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you,

00:24:05.319 --> 00:24:11.579
 that everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.

00:24:12.460 --> 00:24:17.460
 Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures and said to them,

00:24:17.460 --> 00:24:25.100
 Thus it is written that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead,

00:24:25.819 --> 00:24:31.400
 and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations,

00:24:31.940 --> 00:24:33.279
 beginning from Jerusalem.

00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:36.140
 You are witnesses of these things.

00:24:36.940 --> 00:24:40.319
 And behold, I am sending the promise of my Father upon you,

00:24:40.759 --> 00:24:45.019
 but stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.

00:24:45.019 --> 00:24:51.059
 Then he led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands, he blessed them.

00:24:51.660 --> 00:24:56.440
 While he blessed them, he parted from them and was carried up into heaven.

00:24:57.160 --> 00:25:01.660
 And they worshipped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy

00:25:01.660 --> 00:25:05.920
 and were continually in the temple, blessing God.

00:25:06.799 --> 00:25:07.339
 Amen.

00:25:07.420 --> 00:25:11.059
 And may the Lord add his blessing to that reading of his word.

00:25:11.059 --> 00:25:14.859
 Again, we'll sing to God's praise this time in Psalm 73,

00:25:15.940 --> 00:25:18.720
 the Scottish Psalter version, Psalm 73,

00:25:20.259 --> 00:25:23.299
 at verse 23 to the end of the Psalm,

00:25:24.019 --> 00:25:26.460
 page 316 of the Psalm books.

00:25:26.460 --> 00:25:32.860
 Nevertheless, continually, O Lord, I am with thee.

00:25:33.420 --> 00:25:37.779
 Thou dost me hold by my right hand and still upholdest me.

00:25:38.240 --> 00:25:41.819
 Thou with thy counsel while I live, wilt me conduct and guide,

00:25:42.360 --> 00:25:45.860
 and to thy glory afterward receive me to abide.

00:25:46.000 --> 00:25:49.039
 We'll sing from verse 23 down to the end of the Psalm.

00:25:49.600 --> 00:25:51.559
 To God's praise we stand to sing.

00:25:51.559 --> 00:26:15.379
 O Lord, I am with thee.

00:26:15.380 --> 00:26:32.380
 Thou dost me hold by my right hand and still upholdest me.

00:26:32.380 --> 00:27:02.360
 Thou dost me hold by my right hand and still upholdest me.

00:27:02.380 --> 00:27:32.380
 Please, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray, if you pray

00:27:32.380 --> 00:27:42.420
 The night is high, besides me there is none.

00:27:42.420 --> 00:28:00.420
 My flesh and heart hath gained and failed, but God hath failed me never.

00:28:00.420 --> 00:28:17.340
 For of my heart, God is the strength and portion forever.

00:28:17.339 --> 00:28:36.399
 For, Lord, we are far from thee, forever perish thou.

00:28:36.400 --> 00:28:53.400
 Then that thou rolling from below, thou hast destroyed all.

00:28:53.400 --> 00:29:10.400
 But surely it is good for me that I draw near to God.

00:29:10.400 --> 00:29:27.400
 In God I trust that all thy works I may declare, Lord.

00:29:31.400 --> 00:29:36.880
 Well, we can turn back together to a reading in Luke's Gospel, chapter 24.

00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:40.480
 Let me read again at verse 36.

00:29:44.080 --> 00:29:51.040
 As they were talking about these things, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them,

00:29:51.680 --> 00:29:53.120
 Peace to you.

00:29:54.580 --> 00:29:56.480
 Peace to you.

00:29:58.100 --> 00:30:02.700
 As we've come together over this weekend, last evening and today,

00:30:02.700 --> 00:30:10.340
 we've been seeing different ways that Jesus was with the people at the time of his crucifixion.

00:30:10.420 --> 00:30:14.759
 We saw last evening how he was before Pilate and before the crowd.

00:30:15.319 --> 00:30:18.559
 And we were thinking of the prevailing voices that were there then.

00:30:19.319 --> 00:30:22.640
 But the voice of the Lord, especially, that was over it.

00:30:23.400 --> 00:30:25.920
 And then this morning we've been at the cross.

00:30:25.920 --> 00:30:31.060
 We've been looking on Jesus as he was pierced for our transgressions.

00:30:31.740 --> 00:30:34.640
 Our Saviour died on the cross.

00:30:35.400 --> 00:30:36.480
 So we've come.

00:30:36.960 --> 00:30:39.240
 We've come towards the cross.

00:30:39.340 --> 00:30:40.480
 We've been at the cross.

00:30:41.120 --> 00:30:44.580
 But now we're maybe coming away from it in a sense as we come away this evening.

00:30:44.900 --> 00:30:48.500
 And we want to ask, well, how are we going to come away?

00:30:48.500 --> 00:30:53.140
 When you see people coming away from the cross here in the Gospels,

00:30:53.599 --> 00:30:58.339
 and as we look at the Gospel of Luke, you see many of them came away despondent,

00:30:58.700 --> 00:31:03.440
 despairing, doubting, all of these things going on in their minds.

00:31:04.420 --> 00:31:07.240
 But then there was a great change.

00:31:08.420 --> 00:31:10.480
 The most significant thing happened.

00:31:11.259 --> 00:31:13.319
 They met with Jesus.

00:31:13.319 --> 00:31:16.879
 And it says there, as they were talking about these things,

00:31:17.039 --> 00:31:20.259
 Jesus himself stood among them.

00:31:21.240 --> 00:31:22.500
 This shouldn't happen.

00:31:23.679 --> 00:31:25.839
 They had watched him be put to death,

00:31:26.379 --> 00:31:28.439
 watched him on the cross there die,

00:31:29.179 --> 00:31:31.119
 watched him be taken down and buried.

00:31:32.159 --> 00:31:35.139
 But now he has appeared before them.

00:31:35.899 --> 00:31:38.659
 And all of a sudden, there is delight.

00:31:38.660 --> 00:31:41.360
 And all the doubts, all the despair,

00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:44.279
 all the downcast spirit that they had,

00:31:44.800 --> 00:31:47.440
 suddenly there's joy, suddenly there's delight.

00:31:48.320 --> 00:31:48.600
 Why?

00:31:49.660 --> 00:31:51.640
 Because he is risen.

00:31:52.700 --> 00:31:56.440
 And today we have been remembering the Lord's death.

00:31:57.160 --> 00:32:00.779
 But we don't come away just mourning his death.

00:32:01.340 --> 00:32:05.360
 We come away remembering the great fact that he is risen.

00:32:06.240 --> 00:32:07.220
 He is risen.

00:32:07.220 --> 00:32:10.819
 Because that changes so much for us.

00:32:11.180 --> 00:32:14.579
 If we were only worshipping someone who had died,

00:32:14.980 --> 00:32:16.900
 like other religions do,

00:32:17.600 --> 00:32:19.000
 we would be without hope.

00:32:19.920 --> 00:32:22.079
 And yet here we have that great reminder

00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:24.100
 that he is risen.

00:32:25.100 --> 00:32:26.700
 That he died for our sins.

00:32:27.160 --> 00:32:28.480
 But that he is risen.

00:32:29.620 --> 00:32:32.000
 And there are some events that happen in the world.

00:32:32.000 --> 00:32:37.359
 Sometimes it's just a small event that gets spoken about in the news.

00:32:37.880 --> 00:32:39.759
 It may last for a few days.

00:32:40.880 --> 00:32:44.000
 There are other events that are remembered for maybe a longer time.

00:32:44.140 --> 00:32:45.799
 Significant events in the world

00:32:45.799 --> 00:32:50.400
 that are spoken about maybe for months or even years after the event.

00:32:50.460 --> 00:32:53.319
 But they still tail off after a time.

00:32:53.960 --> 00:32:56.319
 Although there's some significant events

00:32:56.319 --> 00:32:59.599
 that maybe appear on an anniversary or something like that.

00:32:59.599 --> 00:33:01.799
 We hear about them occasionally.

00:33:03.419 --> 00:33:05.539
 But what about the resurrection?

00:33:06.859 --> 00:33:08.599
 As we read of the resurrection here,

00:33:08.679 --> 00:33:11.219
 it's not something that's been forgotten about.

00:33:11.579 --> 00:33:13.879
 It's not something that's tailed away.

00:33:13.880 --> 00:33:18.240
 It's something that's spoken about all the time.

00:33:19.240 --> 00:33:21.740
 It's one of the greatest things we have to speak about.

00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:24.780
 The wonders that God has done for us.

00:33:24.920 --> 00:33:25.900
 We cannot number them.

00:33:26.480 --> 00:33:29.180
 And yet here in these chapters that we've been looking at,

00:33:29.240 --> 00:33:33.140
 we see how Jesus came for his people.

00:33:33.580 --> 00:33:35.800
 How he was mocked and rejected by many.

00:33:36.320 --> 00:33:37.660
 But how he was condemned.

00:33:38.260 --> 00:33:40.780
 And yet caring, concerned for his people.

00:33:41.100 --> 00:33:42.540
 How he was the chosen one.

00:33:42.539 --> 00:33:46.240
 But it didn't just end there.

00:33:46.839 --> 00:33:49.240
 And when you look through the Gospel of Luke,

00:33:49.680 --> 00:33:51.379
 you see at different points,

00:33:51.500 --> 00:33:54.599
 Jesus reminds us of what had to take place.

00:33:54.980 --> 00:33:57.119
 In chapter 9, verse 22, he says,

00:33:57.559 --> 00:33:59.619
 The Son of Man must suffer many things

00:33:59.619 --> 00:34:01.680
 and be rejected by the elders,

00:34:01.839 --> 00:34:03.659
 the chief priests and the scribes.

00:34:04.500 --> 00:34:05.659
 We've seen that.

00:34:05.740 --> 00:34:06.759
 We've been looking at that.

00:34:06.819 --> 00:34:10.880
 How he was rejected by the elders and the chief priests and scribes.

00:34:10.880 --> 00:34:12.099
 How you will be killed.

00:34:12.220 --> 00:34:13.200
 We've looked at that.

00:34:13.800 --> 00:34:15.599
 And you see it even here,

00:34:16.160 --> 00:34:23.000
 as the angel appears to the woman at the tomb earlier in this chapter.

00:34:23.000 --> 00:34:31.380
 In verse 7, it says that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified.

00:34:31.840 --> 00:34:32.920
 So it's there again.

00:34:33.000 --> 00:34:34.300
 It's repeated for us.

00:34:35.179 --> 00:34:37.800
 But there's something else that Jesus said.

00:34:38.619 --> 00:34:42.059
 In chapter 9 and here in verse 7 as well,

00:34:42.059 --> 00:34:46.699
 Well, it's this, on the third day he may be raised.

00:34:46.779 --> 00:34:47.639
 He would be raised.

00:34:48.500 --> 00:34:51.099
 On the third day he would rise.

00:34:52.480 --> 00:34:54.259
 And so there's the wonder of this.

00:34:55.259 --> 00:34:57.019
 That he is risen.

00:34:57.940 --> 00:34:59.519
 You see, the death of Christ,

00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:02.699
 it wasn't just, it wasn't the end.

00:35:03.219 --> 00:35:06.519
 It wasn't that everything was accomplished that needed to be through his death.

00:35:06.519 --> 00:35:08.800
 No, there was more still to come.

00:35:10.179 --> 00:35:12.559
 He would rise on the third day.

00:35:13.280 --> 00:35:14.559
 He had told them so.

00:35:15.079 --> 00:35:20.400
 And yet you find the two on the road to a maze, for example, going away, downcast.

00:35:20.619 --> 00:35:24.139
 Even though they've started to hear whispers that he was risen.

00:35:24.900 --> 00:35:28.599
 The disciples themselves, in verse 11 it says,

00:35:28.739 --> 00:35:30.960
 These words seemed like an idle tale.

00:35:31.219 --> 00:35:32.480
 And they did not believe them.

00:35:32.539 --> 00:35:33.619
 It was unbelievable.

00:35:33.619 --> 00:35:37.159
 This just couldn't register with them.

00:35:38.339 --> 00:35:39.179
 He is risen.

00:35:41.279 --> 00:35:43.440
 And there is power in that for us.

00:35:43.679 --> 00:35:46.079
 The resurrection of Christ.

00:35:47.440 --> 00:35:49.900
 But do we know that power?

00:35:50.400 --> 00:35:52.279
 Do we have that power for ourselves?

00:35:52.359 --> 00:35:55.579
 That as we come away from the Lord's Supper today,

00:35:55.659 --> 00:35:57.239
 as we go away this evening,

00:35:57.299 --> 00:35:58.619
 as we go into the week ahead,

00:35:58.699 --> 00:35:59.440
 are we remembering,

00:35:59.960 --> 00:36:02.359
 Yes, Christ died for our sins.

00:36:02.360 --> 00:36:03.700
 We have remembered that.

00:36:04.500 --> 00:36:07.360
 But that we remember, too, that he is risen.

00:36:08.320 --> 00:36:11.400
 And that because he is risen, he goes with us.

00:36:12.880 --> 00:36:14.300
 R.C. Sproul once said,

00:36:14.360 --> 00:36:18.400
 Our natural inclination is to hide ourselves from God.

00:36:18.400 --> 00:36:22.320
 And we see that so often in our own experience,

00:36:22.420 --> 00:36:22.980
 in our past.

00:36:23.059 --> 00:36:25.039
 We see it here in the Gospels,

00:36:25.039 --> 00:36:26.900
 as Jesus was being crucified.

00:36:27.360 --> 00:36:30.920
 The natural reaction to so many was to shun back,

00:36:31.000 --> 00:36:31.880
 to hide back.

00:36:32.360 --> 00:36:34.079
 You think of Peter and his denial.

00:36:34.539 --> 00:36:36.740
 You think of those who we mentioned this morning,

00:36:36.840 --> 00:36:39.039
 who watched on from afar.

00:36:39.039 --> 00:36:43.219
 In verse 49 of chapter 23,

00:36:43.380 --> 00:36:46.739
 the woman and those who had followed him from Galilee

00:36:46.739 --> 00:36:47.840
 stood at a distance,

00:36:48.360 --> 00:36:49.480
 watching these things.

00:36:49.900 --> 00:36:52.980
 Our natural inclination is to hide ourselves sometimes.

00:36:54.400 --> 00:36:56.099
 And for the disciples here,

00:36:56.599 --> 00:36:58.500
 and those who had been followers of him,

00:36:58.559 --> 00:37:00.679
 they'd kind of hidden themselves away.

00:37:01.279 --> 00:37:03.300
 They had gathered together in a room,

00:37:03.960 --> 00:37:06.019
 just the disciples and a few others.

00:37:06.019 --> 00:37:08.900
 The two on the road to Emmaus had gone away,

00:37:09.639 --> 00:37:11.179
 heading off to another place,

00:37:11.259 --> 00:37:11.980
 another village.

00:37:12.500 --> 00:37:15.519
 They'd all turned away because Christ had died.

00:37:16.400 --> 00:37:18.019
 But what changed everything

00:37:18.019 --> 00:37:20.500
 was the fact that he is risen

00:37:20.500 --> 00:37:22.880
 and that he appeared to them.

00:37:23.780 --> 00:37:25.880
 Even as they were talking about these things,

00:37:26.039 --> 00:37:27.759
 Jesus himself stood in their midst

00:37:27.759 --> 00:37:29.159
 and said to them,

00:37:29.360 --> 00:37:30.980
 Peace to you.

00:37:32.000 --> 00:37:33.619
 And what great peace that is

00:37:33.619 --> 00:37:36.380
 to know that he is risen.

00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:40.259
 The resurrection changes everything for us

00:37:40.259 --> 00:37:43.119
 when we think of what that means for ourselves,

00:37:43.839 --> 00:37:44.920
 for ourselves today,

00:37:45.579 --> 00:37:47.420
 and for ourselves even in the future.

00:37:48.159 --> 00:37:50.639
 Because there is no peace apart from God.

00:37:51.779 --> 00:37:53.980
 But the peace that we know is that he is risen.

00:37:54.500 --> 00:37:55.900
 And because he is risen,

00:37:56.239 --> 00:37:58.779
 we have that hope of the resurrection ourselves.

00:37:58.780 --> 00:38:01.100
 That we will not die,

00:38:01.240 --> 00:38:01.840
 but live,

00:38:02.320 --> 00:38:04.720
 as it says in the gospel so often.

00:38:05.440 --> 00:38:07.680
 We live because he lives.

00:38:08.500 --> 00:38:10.400
 Because he is risen.

00:38:10.980 --> 00:38:12.519
 But what does that mean for us

00:38:12.519 --> 00:38:15.040
 as we come away from this communion weekend?

00:38:15.160 --> 00:38:16.060
 Well, there's three things

00:38:16.060 --> 00:38:17.460
 I want us to take with us

00:38:17.460 --> 00:38:19.560
 as we go from here this evening.

00:38:20.060 --> 00:38:21.480
 And they're all based on this idea

00:38:21.480 --> 00:38:23.360
 of this peace be with you.

00:38:23.960 --> 00:38:25.780
 And this peace-filled people

00:38:25.780 --> 00:38:28.420
 that we begin to see here

00:38:28.420 --> 00:38:29.480
 at the end of Luke.

00:38:29.800 --> 00:38:32.600
 And as you go on into the book of Acts,

00:38:32.680 --> 00:38:34.000
 you see Luke continuing

00:38:34.000 --> 00:38:37.240
 to show what these peace-filled people did,

00:38:37.280 --> 00:38:38.600
 what the resurrection did

00:38:38.600 --> 00:38:40.280
 for them as a people.

00:38:40.800 --> 00:38:42.360
 But we get an indication of it

00:38:42.360 --> 00:38:44.280
 here at the end of Luke

00:38:44.280 --> 00:38:45.600
 in chapter 24.

00:38:46.440 --> 00:38:48.160
 And the first thing that we see about them

00:38:48.160 --> 00:38:50.320
 is the peace that they had.

00:38:50.960 --> 00:38:52.260
 And then that leads us

00:38:52.260 --> 00:38:53.640
 to see the purpose

00:38:53.639 --> 00:38:54.960
 it gave them.

00:38:55.559 --> 00:38:56.980
 And then the third thing we see

00:38:56.980 --> 00:38:57.839
 is the power

00:38:57.839 --> 00:38:59.440
 that was with them.

00:39:00.239 --> 00:39:01.839
 This is all based on the fact

00:39:01.839 --> 00:39:02.980
 that Christ died

00:39:02.980 --> 00:39:04.139
 for our sins,

00:39:04.239 --> 00:39:05.279
 but on the third day

00:39:05.279 --> 00:39:06.519
 he rose.

00:39:07.319 --> 00:39:08.099
 So we just want to look

00:39:08.099 --> 00:39:08.799
 at these things.

00:39:09.139 --> 00:39:09.679
 First of all,

00:39:09.839 --> 00:39:11.159
 the resurrection brought

00:39:11.159 --> 00:39:12.019
 this peace

00:39:12.019 --> 00:39:13.460
 to the people.

00:39:14.679 --> 00:39:15.579
 The disciples

00:39:15.579 --> 00:39:17.000
 and those who had been

00:39:17.000 --> 00:39:17.779
 at Calvary,

00:39:18.239 --> 00:39:19.500
 coming away from there,

00:39:19.579 --> 00:39:20.500
 they were like mourners.

00:39:21.400 --> 00:39:22.599
 They had been to a death,

00:39:22.599 --> 00:39:24.440
 they had seen the Lord buried

00:39:24.440 --> 00:39:25.319
 and they came away

00:39:25.319 --> 00:39:26.500
 as mourners.

00:39:27.539 --> 00:39:28.619
 And the days following

00:39:28.619 --> 00:39:30.900
 the crucifixion,

00:39:31.480 --> 00:39:32.219
 they rested

00:39:32.219 --> 00:39:33.699
 on the Saturday,

00:39:33.779 --> 00:39:34.440
 on the Sabbath

00:39:34.440 --> 00:39:35.299
 as it was,

00:39:35.900 --> 00:39:37.139
 but they didn't have

00:39:37.139 --> 00:39:37.920
 that rest.

00:39:38.699 --> 00:39:40.119
 They didn't have that peace.

00:39:40.920 --> 00:39:41.440
 Because,

00:39:41.559 --> 00:39:42.119
 as you see,

00:39:42.500 --> 00:39:43.420
 with the two on the road

00:39:43.420 --> 00:39:44.079
 to Emmaus,

00:39:44.119 --> 00:39:45.299
 when you read verse 18,

00:39:45.440 --> 00:39:46.219
 it says there,

00:39:46.739 --> 00:39:48.219
 one of them named Cleopas

00:39:48.219 --> 00:39:49.199
 answered him,

00:39:49.199 --> 00:39:51.980
 are you the only visitor

00:39:51.980 --> 00:39:52.719
 to Jerusalem

00:39:52.719 --> 00:39:54.039
 who does not know

00:39:54.039 --> 00:39:54.839
 the things that have

00:39:54.839 --> 00:39:55.500
 happened there

00:39:55.500 --> 00:39:56.339
 in these days?

00:39:57.039 --> 00:39:57.859
 And he's saying,

00:39:57.960 --> 00:39:58.099
 you know,

00:39:58.139 --> 00:39:59.139
 what things?

00:39:59.960 --> 00:40:00.919
 And they said to him,

00:40:00.960 --> 00:40:02.619
 concerning Jesus of Nazareth,

00:40:02.679 --> 00:40:04.379
 a man who was a prophet,

00:40:04.539 --> 00:40:05.339
 mighty indeed,

00:40:05.460 --> 00:40:06.659
 and word before God

00:40:06.659 --> 00:40:07.519
 and all the people,

00:40:07.899 --> 00:40:09.139
 and how our chief priests

00:40:09.139 --> 00:40:09.599
 and rulers

00:40:09.599 --> 00:40:10.500
 delivered him up

00:40:10.500 --> 00:40:11.799
 to be condemned to death

00:40:11.799 --> 00:40:13.379
 and crucified him.

00:40:13.799 --> 00:40:14.719
 And you see there

00:40:14.719 --> 00:40:16.039
 that they've got two

00:40:16.039 --> 00:40:17.319
 out of the three things

00:40:17.320 --> 00:40:17.700
 there,

00:40:18.100 --> 00:40:19.559
 of what Jesus had taught

00:40:19.559 --> 00:40:20.920
 and what they had seen,

00:40:21.120 --> 00:40:22.220
 that he had been delivered

00:40:22.220 --> 00:40:24.059
 and that they'd been crucified,

00:40:24.760 --> 00:40:25.780
 but the third bit

00:40:25.780 --> 00:40:26.480
 is missing.

00:40:26.960 --> 00:40:28.360
 Because what they say is,

00:40:28.920 --> 00:40:29.920
 but we had hoped

00:40:29.920 --> 00:40:31.320
 that he was the one

00:40:31.320 --> 00:40:32.380
 to redeem Israel.

00:40:33.140 --> 00:40:34.039
 We had hoped,

00:40:34.740 --> 00:40:35.920
 but it's like their hope

00:40:35.920 --> 00:40:37.100
 is gone.

00:40:38.519 --> 00:40:40.240
 But like Jesus had said,

00:40:41.100 --> 00:40:42.120
 on the third day

00:40:42.120 --> 00:40:43.580
 he will rise.

00:40:44.440 --> 00:40:45.420
 But they had forgotten

00:40:45.420 --> 00:40:46.019
 that it was like

00:40:46.019 --> 00:40:47.480
 their hope was gone.

00:40:47.559 --> 00:40:48.099
 The resurrection

00:40:48.099 --> 00:40:50.440
 changes all of that.

00:40:51.800 --> 00:40:52.739
 And that's why we see

00:40:52.739 --> 00:40:54.280
 the amazing way,

00:40:54.880 --> 00:40:55.759
 the amazing power

00:40:55.759 --> 00:40:56.840
 of what Jesus says

00:40:56.840 --> 00:40:58.039
 in verse 36.

00:40:58.800 --> 00:40:59.460
 Their mourning

00:40:59.460 --> 00:41:01.079
 has been turned to joy.

00:41:01.860 --> 00:41:03.259
 And Jesus stood among them

00:41:03.259 --> 00:41:03.699
 and said,

00:41:04.119 --> 00:41:05.400
 peace to you.

00:41:06.440 --> 00:41:07.440
 Here he was,

00:41:07.679 --> 00:41:09.579
 here he was beside them all,

00:41:09.679 --> 00:41:10.360
 with them all,

00:41:10.460 --> 00:41:12.880
 speaking these wonderful words,

00:41:13.199 --> 00:41:15.000
 peace to you.

00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:16.920
 and what a difference

00:41:16.920 --> 00:41:18.260
 that made to them.

00:41:19.179 --> 00:41:20.000
 And we've reflected

00:41:20.000 --> 00:41:21.420
 on how so much

00:41:21.420 --> 00:41:22.820
 of what we read here

00:41:22.820 --> 00:41:24.460
 about the death of Jesus,

00:41:25.260 --> 00:41:26.559
 we also go back

00:41:26.559 --> 00:41:28.219
 to Isaiah 53.

00:41:28.880 --> 00:41:29.340
 And again,

00:41:29.420 --> 00:41:29.820
 this evening,

00:41:29.860 --> 00:41:30.920
 as we think of Jesus

00:41:30.920 --> 00:41:31.400
 saying,

00:41:31.840 --> 00:41:32.639
 peace to you,

00:41:32.679 --> 00:41:34.519
 we go back to Isaiah 53.

00:41:35.079 --> 00:41:36.119
 And in verse 5,

00:41:36.199 --> 00:41:37.280
 we are reminded there,

00:41:37.780 --> 00:41:38.460
 he was wounded

00:41:38.460 --> 00:41:39.840
 for our transgressions,

00:41:39.920 --> 00:41:41.000
 he was crushed

00:41:41.000 --> 00:41:42.079
 for our iniquities.

00:41:42.079 --> 00:41:44.539
 Upon him was the chastisement

00:41:44.539 --> 00:41:47.539
 that brought us peace.

00:41:48.539 --> 00:41:50.819
 That brought us peace.

00:41:51.440 --> 00:41:52.619
 And with his stripes,

00:41:53.039 --> 00:41:54.219
 we are healed.

00:41:55.360 --> 00:41:56.920
 And so as we look here

00:41:56.920 --> 00:41:58.840
 and see that Christ

00:41:58.840 --> 00:42:01.380
 was brought before the scribes

00:42:01.380 --> 00:42:02.420
 and the Pharisees

00:42:02.420 --> 00:42:04.179
 as he was crucified,

00:42:04.179 --> 00:42:07.619
 but on the third day he rose.

00:42:07.619 --> 00:42:10.659
 there is peace.

00:42:12.500 --> 00:42:13.679
 There is a peace

00:42:13.679 --> 00:42:14.900
 that Jesus brought

00:42:14.900 --> 00:42:16.299
 to his people then

00:42:16.299 --> 00:42:17.299
 and there is a peace

00:42:17.299 --> 00:42:19.339
 that he brings to us now

00:42:19.339 --> 00:42:19.880
 to know

00:42:19.880 --> 00:42:21.359
 that he has risen.

00:42:22.440 --> 00:42:23.319
 Another example

00:42:23.319 --> 00:42:24.179
 of what a difference

00:42:24.179 --> 00:42:24.699
 it made

00:42:24.699 --> 00:42:25.880
 into those

00:42:25.880 --> 00:42:26.719
 who were around him

00:42:26.719 --> 00:42:27.440
 in these days

00:42:27.440 --> 00:42:28.940
 was the Gospel of John

00:42:28.940 --> 00:42:29.679
 speaks about

00:42:29.679 --> 00:42:30.960
 the account of Mary

00:42:30.960 --> 00:42:31.759
 meeting Jesus

00:42:31.759 --> 00:42:32.480
 at the tomb.

00:42:32.480 --> 00:42:34.539
 in another way

00:42:34.539 --> 00:42:36.440
 it goes into more detail.

00:42:37.079 --> 00:42:37.860
 She was weeping

00:42:37.860 --> 00:42:38.900
 over Jesus.

00:42:39.059 --> 00:42:39.719
 She was looking

00:42:39.719 --> 00:42:41.199
 for his body.

00:42:42.260 --> 00:42:43.280
 And Jesus himself

00:42:43.280 --> 00:42:44.300
 came to her

00:42:44.300 --> 00:42:46.059
 and in John 20

00:42:46.059 --> 00:42:46.940
 verse 15

00:42:46.940 --> 00:42:47.539
 it says,

00:42:47.940 --> 00:42:47.940


00:42:48.380 --> 00:42:49.980
 if you have carried him away

00:42:49.980 --> 00:42:50.679
 tell me

00:42:50.679 --> 00:42:51.840
 where you have put him

00:42:51.840 --> 00:42:52.699
 and I will get him.

00:42:52.740 --> 00:42:53.280
 She didn't know

00:42:53.280 --> 00:42:54.079
 it was Jesus.

00:42:55.019 --> 00:42:56.400
 But Jesus said to her,

00:42:57.179 --> 00:42:57.519
 Mary,

00:42:58.579 --> 00:42:59.599
 one word.

00:43:00.619 --> 00:43:01.639
 And she turned to him

00:43:01.639 --> 00:43:02.440
 and cried out

00:43:02.440 --> 00:43:03.039
 in Aramaic

00:43:03.039 --> 00:43:04.420
 Rabboni

00:43:04.420 --> 00:43:06.319
 which means teacher.

00:43:06.619 --> 00:43:07.440
 Her despair,

00:43:07.579 --> 00:43:08.359
 her tears

00:43:08.359 --> 00:43:10.039
 are turned to joy.

00:43:11.279 --> 00:43:12.279
 She turns there

00:43:12.279 --> 00:43:13.079
 and sees him

00:43:13.079 --> 00:43:14.579
 Rabboni teacher.

00:43:16.059 --> 00:43:17.460
 Suddenly there is joy,

00:43:17.960 --> 00:43:19.119
 there is peace.

00:43:20.420 --> 00:43:21.159
 And what did this

00:43:21.159 --> 00:43:22.319
 lead her to do?

00:43:22.799 --> 00:43:23.900
 Well she threw herself

00:43:23.900 --> 00:43:24.539
 at his feet

00:43:24.539 --> 00:43:25.480
 and clung to him.

00:43:25.859 --> 00:43:26.500
 She didn't want

00:43:26.500 --> 00:43:27.279
 to let go.

00:43:28.259 --> 00:43:29.559
 But when she left him

00:43:29.559 --> 00:43:31.059
 she met with the disciples

00:43:31.059 --> 00:43:31.400
 and said,

00:43:31.400 --> 00:43:32.119
 I have seen

00:43:32.119 --> 00:43:33.119
 the Lord.

00:43:33.720 --> 00:43:34.519
 I have seen him.

00:43:34.760 --> 00:43:35.740
 And these are the words

00:43:35.740 --> 00:43:36.599
 that they are saying

00:43:36.599 --> 00:43:38.220
 were just idle tales

00:43:38.220 --> 00:43:39.639
 and they did not believe

00:43:39.639 --> 00:43:40.840
 until they saw him

00:43:40.840 --> 00:43:41.720
 himself.

00:43:42.800 --> 00:43:43.800
 She had something

00:43:43.800 --> 00:43:45.260
 worth talking about

00:43:45.260 --> 00:43:46.119
 and so do we.

00:43:46.480 --> 00:43:47.539
 So do we have something

00:43:47.539 --> 00:43:48.680
 worth talking about

00:43:48.680 --> 00:43:49.980
 when we think of this peace

00:43:49.980 --> 00:43:51.079
 that the Lord

00:43:51.079 --> 00:43:51.780
 is able

00:43:51.780 --> 00:43:52.940
 to give.

00:43:53.400 --> 00:43:54.579
 Peace for life,

00:43:55.260 --> 00:43:56.139
 peace for death,

00:43:56.340 --> 00:43:57.000
 peace for

00:43:57.000 --> 00:43:58.200
 eternity.

00:43:58.199 --> 00:44:02.099
 one of the saddest things

00:44:02.099 --> 00:44:02.859
 I have seen

00:44:02.859 --> 00:44:03.539
 on the television

00:44:03.539 --> 00:44:04.819
 in these last few days

00:44:04.819 --> 00:44:05.279
 has been

00:44:05.279 --> 00:44:06.239
 as we have been

00:44:06.239 --> 00:44:07.039
 seeing the vote

00:44:07.039 --> 00:44:07.759
 that took place

00:44:07.759 --> 00:44:08.460
 in the parliament

00:44:08.460 --> 00:44:09.419
 and the response

00:44:09.419 --> 00:44:10.000
 to it.

00:44:11.219 --> 00:44:12.859
 One lady broke my heart

00:44:12.859 --> 00:44:13.519
 as she spoke

00:44:13.519 --> 00:44:14.179
 on television

00:44:14.179 --> 00:44:14.659
 saying,

00:44:15.199 --> 00:44:16.239
 I can now die

00:44:16.239 --> 00:44:17.779
 in peace.

00:44:17.780 --> 00:44:17.900
 peace.

00:44:19.500 --> 00:44:20.300
 And it breaks

00:44:20.300 --> 00:44:20.740
 your heart

00:44:20.740 --> 00:44:21.200
 when you see

00:44:21.200 --> 00:44:21.860
 because that is

00:44:21.860 --> 00:44:22.840
 someone with

00:44:22.840 --> 00:44:23.380
 no thought

00:44:23.380 --> 00:44:24.060
 of Christ,

00:44:24.940 --> 00:44:25.880
 no thought

00:44:25.880 --> 00:44:26.460
 of God,

00:44:27.100 --> 00:44:27.800
 no thought

00:44:27.800 --> 00:44:28.580
 of eternity

00:44:28.580 --> 00:44:30.019
 but saying,

00:44:30.140 --> 00:44:30.940
 I can now die

00:44:30.940 --> 00:44:32.360
 in peace.

00:44:32.360 --> 00:44:32.400
 peace.

00:44:33.760 --> 00:44:34.320
 But there is

00:44:34.320 --> 00:44:35.039
 no peace.

00:44:35.760 --> 00:44:37.120
 There is no peace

00:44:37.120 --> 00:44:38.820
 apart from Christ.

00:44:39.860 --> 00:44:40.620
 Somebody once put it

00:44:40.620 --> 00:44:40.940
 like this,

00:44:41.000 --> 00:44:41.680
 the most unhappy

00:44:41.680 --> 00:44:42.820
 person in the world

00:44:42.820 --> 00:44:44.079
 is not someone

00:44:44.079 --> 00:44:45.019
 who didn't get

00:44:45.019 --> 00:44:46.200
 what he or she

00:44:46.200 --> 00:44:46.720
 wanted.

00:44:47.400 --> 00:44:48.400
 The most unhappy

00:44:48.400 --> 00:44:49.900
 person is the one

00:44:49.900 --> 00:44:50.820
 who got what he

00:44:50.820 --> 00:44:51.500
 or she wanted

00:44:51.500 --> 00:44:52.559
 and then found out

00:44:52.559 --> 00:44:54.200
 it wasn't as wonderful

00:44:54.200 --> 00:44:55.140
 as expected.

00:44:56.340 --> 00:44:57.820
 And that's the reality

00:44:57.820 --> 00:44:59.000
 of our situation

00:44:59.000 --> 00:44:59.539
 today.

00:45:00.039 --> 00:45:00.920
 People have got

00:45:00.920 --> 00:45:01.860
 what they wanted.

00:45:02.840 --> 00:45:03.620
 But it will never

00:45:03.620 --> 00:45:04.460
 be as wonderful

00:45:04.460 --> 00:45:05.539
 as they expected.

00:45:06.579 --> 00:45:06.900
 You see,

00:45:06.960 --> 00:45:07.940
 the secret isn't

00:45:07.940 --> 00:45:09.460
 getting what you want

00:45:09.460 --> 00:45:11.820
 but getting what you need.

00:45:13.000 --> 00:45:13.860
 And what we need

00:45:13.860 --> 00:45:15.300
 is this peace

00:45:15.300 --> 00:45:16.559
 of Christ,

00:45:16.700 --> 00:45:17.260
 the peace

00:45:17.260 --> 00:45:18.680
 that he speaks

00:45:18.680 --> 00:45:20.059
 because this is the peace

00:45:20.059 --> 00:45:21.700
 that changes lives.

00:45:21.780 --> 00:45:22.579
 This is the peace

00:45:22.579 --> 00:45:23.660
 that brings us

00:45:23.660 --> 00:45:24.579
 to see the world

00:45:24.579 --> 00:45:25.620
 in a different way,

00:45:26.200 --> 00:45:27.420
 to see our lives

00:45:27.420 --> 00:45:28.760
 in a different way,

00:45:29.160 --> 00:45:30.440
 to look at the cross

00:45:30.440 --> 00:45:31.420
 in a different way

00:45:31.420 --> 00:45:32.160
 even and see

00:45:32.159 --> 00:45:33.980
 he died for our sins

00:45:33.980 --> 00:45:35.500
 but he rose again.

00:45:35.579 --> 00:45:36.379
 He's victorious

00:45:36.379 --> 00:45:38.059
 and therefore

00:45:38.059 --> 00:45:39.239
 we have hope

00:45:39.239 --> 00:45:40.460
 in his death

00:45:40.460 --> 00:45:41.980
 and his resurrection.

00:45:42.339 --> 00:45:43.359
 We find peace

00:45:43.359 --> 00:45:44.440
 in that

00:45:44.440 --> 00:45:45.739
 because that is the peace

00:45:45.739 --> 00:45:47.079
 that is ours

00:45:47.079 --> 00:45:48.719
 through faith in Christ

00:45:48.719 --> 00:45:50.279
 and the peace

00:45:50.279 --> 00:45:52.000
 that leads us on.

00:45:53.139 --> 00:45:54.039
 So we look

00:45:54.039 --> 00:45:55.099
 to this part

00:45:55.099 --> 00:45:55.679
 and we see

00:45:55.679 --> 00:45:56.799
 the peace

00:45:56.799 --> 00:45:58.440
 that Jesus gives

00:45:58.440 --> 00:45:59.399
 to his people.

00:45:59.400 --> 00:46:01.220
 but we also see

00:46:01.220 --> 00:46:02.079
 the resurrection

00:46:02.079 --> 00:46:03.000
 and the peace

00:46:03.000 --> 00:46:03.639
 it brings.

00:46:03.980 --> 00:46:05.380
 It brings a new purpose

00:46:05.380 --> 00:46:06.480
 to the people

00:46:06.480 --> 00:46:07.059
 as well.

00:46:08.059 --> 00:46:09.760
 When the disciples

00:46:09.760 --> 00:46:10.720
 met with Jesus

00:46:10.720 --> 00:46:11.880
 after the resurrection

00:46:11.880 --> 00:46:13.340
 it gave them

00:46:13.340 --> 00:46:14.360
 a new purpose.

00:46:15.180 --> 00:46:16.440
 You think of Mary

00:46:16.440 --> 00:46:17.480
 who we spoke of

00:46:17.480 --> 00:46:18.019
 as soon as she

00:46:18.019 --> 00:46:19.220
 met with Jesus.

00:46:19.300 --> 00:46:20.119
 What did she want to do?

00:46:20.180 --> 00:46:20.760
 She wanted to go

00:46:20.760 --> 00:46:21.660
 and tell others

00:46:21.660 --> 00:46:22.840
 he is risen.

00:46:23.800 --> 00:46:24.160
 And you look

00:46:24.160 --> 00:46:24.940
 at the two on the road

00:46:24.940 --> 00:46:25.680
 to Emmaus

00:46:25.680 --> 00:46:26.579
 and suddenly

00:46:26.579 --> 00:46:27.700
 their eyes are opened

00:46:27.699 --> 00:46:28.619
 and what do they want to do?

00:46:28.679 --> 00:46:29.539
 They want to go back

00:46:29.539 --> 00:46:30.119
 to Jerusalem

00:46:30.119 --> 00:46:31.399
 and tell others

00:46:31.399 --> 00:46:32.399
 that they have seen

00:46:32.399 --> 00:46:33.399
 the Lord.

00:46:34.919 --> 00:46:35.799
 We have seen him.

00:46:35.879 --> 00:46:36.559
 He is risen.

00:46:37.159 --> 00:46:38.179
 And so their lives

00:46:38.179 --> 00:46:38.960
 are transformed.

00:46:39.139 --> 00:46:39.960
 Their hearts

00:46:39.960 --> 00:46:40.759
 were burning

00:46:40.759 --> 00:46:41.819
 within them

00:46:41.819 --> 00:46:43.119
 just wanting to burst

00:46:43.119 --> 00:46:45.119
 and go and tell others.

00:46:46.519 --> 00:46:48.079
 And you see it go on

00:46:48.079 --> 00:46:50.079
 with the disciples

00:46:50.079 --> 00:46:51.279
 at the end

00:46:51.279 --> 00:46:52.159
 of this chapter

00:46:52.159 --> 00:46:52.799
 and then as you go

00:46:52.799 --> 00:46:53.919
 into the book of Acts

00:46:53.919 --> 00:46:55.259
 you see Peter

00:46:55.259 --> 00:46:56.460
 in all boldness

00:46:56.460 --> 00:46:58.240
 standing before the crowds

00:46:58.240 --> 00:47:00.059
 proclaiming the gospel

00:47:00.059 --> 00:47:02.099
 proclaiming the good news

00:47:02.099 --> 00:47:03.380
 of Jesus Christ.

00:47:04.380 --> 00:47:05.039
 The Christ

00:47:05.039 --> 00:47:06.119
 who was condemned

00:47:06.119 --> 00:47:07.480
 by the scribes

00:47:07.480 --> 00:47:08.199
 and the Pharisees

00:47:08.199 --> 00:47:10.320
 the Christ

00:47:10.320 --> 00:47:11.220
 who was crucified

00:47:11.220 --> 00:47:12.740
 the Christ

00:47:12.740 --> 00:47:13.519
 who is risen

00:47:13.519 --> 00:47:15.280
 the Christ

00:47:15.280 --> 00:47:16.519
 who is risen.

00:47:18.000 --> 00:47:18.880
 You see Paul

00:47:18.880 --> 00:47:20.260
 and his purpose

00:47:20.260 --> 00:47:20.900
 in life

00:47:20.900 --> 00:47:21.599
 transformed

00:47:21.599 --> 00:47:23.039
 by meeting Jesus

00:47:23.039 --> 00:47:24.059
 from one

00:47:24.059 --> 00:47:25.000
 who was condemning

00:47:25.000 --> 00:47:25.719
 the Christians

00:47:25.719 --> 00:47:26.380
 in his day

00:47:26.380 --> 00:47:27.300
 to going out

00:47:27.300 --> 00:47:28.059
 and proclaiming

00:47:28.059 --> 00:47:28.739
 the Christ.

00:47:29.699 --> 00:47:30.619
 And again and again

00:47:30.619 --> 00:47:31.719
 he makes that point

00:47:31.719 --> 00:47:32.500
 in his letters.

00:47:32.940 --> 00:47:33.760
 We do not preach

00:47:33.760 --> 00:47:34.340
 ourselves

00:47:34.340 --> 00:47:35.739
 but Jesus Christ

00:47:35.739 --> 00:47:36.820
 as Lord.

00:47:37.780 --> 00:47:38.320
 Woe to me

00:47:38.320 --> 00:47:39.360
 if I do not preach

00:47:39.360 --> 00:47:40.239
 the gospel.

00:47:40.980 --> 00:47:41.980
 And what is at the heart

00:47:41.980 --> 00:47:42.320
 of this

00:47:42.320 --> 00:47:43.239
 is the resurrection.

00:47:43.780 --> 00:47:44.460
 The resurrection

00:47:44.460 --> 00:47:45.300
 that Christ

00:47:45.300 --> 00:47:46.480
 is risen.

00:47:48.380 --> 00:47:49.099
 And that's the

00:47:49.099 --> 00:47:50.360
 peace filled people

00:47:50.360 --> 00:47:51.480
 that we see.

00:47:51.639 --> 00:47:52.400
 Lives that were

00:47:52.400 --> 00:47:54.019
 so despondent

00:47:54.019 --> 00:47:55.039
 so dismayed

00:47:55.039 --> 00:47:55.500
 transformed

00:47:55.500 --> 00:47:56.519
 because

00:47:56.519 --> 00:47:57.740
 he is risen.

00:47:59.039 --> 00:47:59.539
 It is

00:47:59.539 --> 00:48:00.780
 the peace

00:48:00.780 --> 00:48:01.880
 that Christ

00:48:01.880 --> 00:48:02.380
 gives

00:48:02.380 --> 00:48:03.519
 as Paul says

00:48:03.519 --> 00:48:04.860
 in Colossians

00:48:04.860 --> 00:48:05.720
 chapter 3

00:48:05.720 --> 00:48:06.380
 verse 15

00:48:06.380 --> 00:48:07.059
 let the peace

00:48:07.059 --> 00:48:07.740
 of Christ

00:48:07.740 --> 00:48:09.220
 rule your hearts

00:48:09.220 --> 00:48:10.059
 to which indeed

00:48:10.059 --> 00:48:10.940
 you were called

00:48:10.940 --> 00:48:12.019
 in one body

00:48:12.019 --> 00:48:12.800
 and be thankful.

00:48:12.960 --> 00:48:13.480
 Let the word

00:48:13.480 --> 00:48:14.160
 of Christ

00:48:14.160 --> 00:48:15.300
 dwell in you

00:48:15.300 --> 00:48:15.860
 richly

00:48:15.860 --> 00:48:17.519
 teaching and admonishing

00:48:17.519 --> 00:48:18.039
 one another

00:48:18.039 --> 00:48:18.900
 in all wisdom.

00:48:19.680 --> 00:48:20.700
 You see the peace

00:48:20.700 --> 00:48:21.340
 that he gives

00:48:21.340 --> 00:48:21.960
 it gives us

00:48:21.960 --> 00:48:23.280
 something worth

00:48:23.280 --> 00:48:24.420
 talking about.

00:48:24.519 --> 00:48:25.140
 It gives us

00:48:25.140 --> 00:48:26.640
 that purpose.

00:48:28.579 --> 00:48:29.140
 And they go

00:48:29.140 --> 00:48:29.720
 from being

00:48:29.720 --> 00:48:31.079
 startled and

00:48:31.079 --> 00:48:31.600
 frightened

00:48:31.600 --> 00:48:32.460
 even as you see

00:48:32.460 --> 00:48:32.900
 here

00:48:32.900 --> 00:48:34.480
 in verse 37

00:48:34.480 --> 00:48:35.780
 they were startled

00:48:35.780 --> 00:48:36.460
 and frightened

00:48:36.460 --> 00:48:37.039
 and thought

00:48:37.039 --> 00:48:37.600
 they saw

00:48:37.600 --> 00:48:38.740
 a spirit

00:48:38.740 --> 00:48:39.500
 they didn't know

00:48:39.500 --> 00:48:40.440
 what they were seeing

00:48:40.440 --> 00:48:42.320
 and yet in verse 41

00:48:42.320 --> 00:48:42.860
 it says

00:48:42.860 --> 00:48:43.720
 while they still

00:48:43.720 --> 00:48:44.539
 disbelieved

00:48:44.539 --> 00:48:45.620
 for joy

00:48:45.620 --> 00:48:46.720
 and they were

00:48:46.720 --> 00:48:48.440
 for joy

00:48:48.440 --> 00:48:49.700
 and were marveling

00:48:49.700 --> 00:48:50.559
 he said to them

00:48:50.559 --> 00:48:51.239
 have you anything

00:48:51.239 --> 00:48:52.239
 to eat.

00:48:52.900 --> 00:48:54.219
 They're transformed

00:48:54.219 --> 00:48:54.900
 they're brought

00:48:54.900 --> 00:48:57.000
 from startled

00:48:57.000 --> 00:48:57.799
 and frightened

00:48:57.799 --> 00:48:58.940
 to joy

00:48:58.940 --> 00:48:59.679
 even in the midst

00:48:59.679 --> 00:49:00.480
 of disbelief

00:49:00.480 --> 00:49:01.940
 they can't believe

00:49:01.940 --> 00:49:02.880
 what they're seeing

00:49:02.880 --> 00:49:05.199
 and that's the wonder

00:49:05.199 --> 00:49:06.759
 of the gospel

00:49:06.759 --> 00:49:08.059
 it's a wonder

00:49:08.059 --> 00:49:08.820
 that we see

00:49:08.820 --> 00:49:09.900
 and the purpose

00:49:09.900 --> 00:49:10.699
 that it gives

00:49:10.699 --> 00:49:12.340
 something so

00:49:12.340 --> 00:49:13.099
 unbelievable

00:49:13.099 --> 00:49:14.820
 something so

00:49:14.820 --> 00:49:15.699
 amazing

00:49:15.699 --> 00:49:16.920
 something so

00:49:16.920 --> 00:49:17.420
 wonderful

00:49:17.420 --> 00:49:18.340
 and yet Christ

00:49:18.340 --> 00:49:19.500
 has spoken

00:49:19.500 --> 00:49:20.219
 to us

00:49:20.219 --> 00:49:21.840
 and Christ

00:49:21.840 --> 00:49:22.340
 has given

00:49:22.340 --> 00:49:23.000
 to us

00:49:23.000 --> 00:49:23.880
 that peace

00:49:23.880 --> 00:49:25.500
 and that hope

00:49:25.500 --> 00:49:28.340
 Christ

00:49:28.340 --> 00:49:30.119
 is good news

00:49:30.119 --> 00:49:31.159
 Christ

00:49:31.159 --> 00:49:32.119
 is the good news

00:49:32.119 --> 00:49:32.880
 that our world

00:49:32.880 --> 00:49:33.380
 needs

00:49:33.380 --> 00:49:34.960
 and even as we think

00:49:34.960 --> 00:49:35.820
 of the month

00:49:35.820 --> 00:49:36.420
 that comes

00:49:36.420 --> 00:49:37.239
 ahead of us

00:49:37.239 --> 00:49:38.079
 as we think

00:49:38.079 --> 00:49:38.679
 of the run up

00:49:38.679 --> 00:49:39.360
 to Christmas

00:49:39.360 --> 00:49:40.179
 when so much

00:49:40.179 --> 00:49:40.920
 is about

00:49:40.920 --> 00:49:41.679
 distraction

00:49:41.679 --> 00:49:42.420
 from the real

00:49:42.420 --> 00:49:42.820
 meaning

00:49:42.820 --> 00:49:44.619
 of Christ

00:49:44.619 --> 00:49:45.380
 and what he means

00:49:45.380 --> 00:49:46.239
 to this world

00:49:46.239 --> 00:49:47.559
 it's being pushed

00:49:47.559 --> 00:49:48.059
 out

00:49:48.059 --> 00:49:49.699
 yet what an

00:49:49.699 --> 00:49:50.159
 opportunity

00:49:50.159 --> 00:49:51.299
 it is for us

00:49:51.299 --> 00:49:52.500
 to tell the story

00:49:52.500 --> 00:49:53.239
 of Christ

00:49:53.239 --> 00:49:54.500
 who came into

00:49:54.500 --> 00:49:55.179
 this world

00:49:55.179 --> 00:49:56.400
 to save sinners

00:49:56.400 --> 00:49:58.019
 because we realize

00:49:58.019 --> 00:49:58.619
 that Christ

00:49:58.619 --> 00:49:59.360
 died for us

00:49:59.360 --> 00:50:00.279
 and rose again

00:50:00.279 --> 00:50:01.139
 and when people

00:50:01.139 --> 00:50:02.139
 come to understand

00:50:02.139 --> 00:50:03.019
 that as you see

00:50:03.019 --> 00:50:03.340
 here

00:50:03.340 --> 00:50:04.460
 it changes

00:50:04.460 --> 00:50:05.199
 everything

00:50:05.199 --> 00:50:07.840
 and so this is

00:50:07.840 --> 00:50:09.099
 worth speaking

00:50:09.099 --> 00:50:09.539
 about

00:50:09.539 --> 00:50:10.900
 this is worth

00:50:10.900 --> 00:50:12.079
 telling others

00:50:12.079 --> 00:50:13.039
 about the

00:50:13.039 --> 00:50:13.480
 resurrection

00:50:13.480 --> 00:50:14.519
 gives us

00:50:14.519 --> 00:50:15.639
 purpose

00:50:15.639 --> 00:50:17.079
 when we know

00:50:17.079 --> 00:50:17.760
 the peace

00:50:17.760 --> 00:50:18.480
 of Christ

00:50:18.480 --> 00:50:19.019
 in us

00:50:19.019 --> 00:50:20.139
 it gives us

00:50:20.139 --> 00:50:20.639
 purpose

00:50:20.639 --> 00:50:21.380
 to go and

00:50:21.380 --> 00:50:21.900
 share

00:50:21.900 --> 00:50:23.039
 with others

00:50:23.039 --> 00:50:24.119
 the gospel

00:50:24.119 --> 00:50:26.820
 it's central

00:50:26.820 --> 00:50:28.059
 to our mission

00:50:28.059 --> 00:50:28.719
 it's central

00:50:28.719 --> 00:50:29.559
 to what we are

00:50:29.559 --> 00:50:30.240
 as a people

00:50:30.240 --> 00:50:30.820
 what we are

00:50:30.820 --> 00:50:31.960
 as a church

00:50:31.960 --> 00:50:33.880
 these three things

00:50:33.880 --> 00:50:35.360
 that Christ

00:50:35.360 --> 00:50:36.159
 must suffer

00:50:36.159 --> 00:50:36.780
 at the hands

00:50:36.780 --> 00:50:37.740
 of sinful men

00:50:37.740 --> 00:50:38.480
 be crucified

00:50:38.480 --> 00:50:40.059
 and on the third

00:50:40.059 --> 00:50:40.500
 day

00:50:40.500 --> 00:50:41.599
 rise

00:50:41.599 --> 00:50:43.799
 the importance

00:50:43.799 --> 00:50:44.239
 is there

00:50:44.239 --> 00:50:44.980
 because Jesus

00:50:44.980 --> 00:50:46.079
 himself told

00:50:46.079 --> 00:50:47.500
 it so often

00:50:47.500 --> 00:50:48.860
 and so the

00:50:48.860 --> 00:50:49.319
 purpose

00:50:49.319 --> 00:50:50.019
 as he says

00:50:50.019 --> 00:50:50.319
 to them

00:50:50.319 --> 00:50:50.940
 here now

00:50:50.940 --> 00:50:52.239
 as he comes

00:50:52.239 --> 00:50:53.099
 into their midst

00:50:53.099 --> 00:50:53.679
 and speaks

00:50:53.679 --> 00:50:54.319
 this word

00:50:54.319 --> 00:50:55.039
 of peace

00:50:55.039 --> 00:50:56.360
 he says

00:50:56.360 --> 00:50:56.920
 then in verse

00:50:56.920 --> 00:50:57.480
 44

00:50:57.480 --> 00:50:58.139
 these are my

00:50:58.139 --> 00:50:58.539
 words

00:50:58.539 --> 00:50:59.099
 and I spoke

00:50:59.099 --> 00:50:59.319
 to you

00:50:59.319 --> 00:50:59.739
 while I was

00:50:59.739 --> 00:51:00.559
 still alive

00:51:00.559 --> 00:51:01.679
 that everything

00:51:01.679 --> 00:51:02.480
 written about

00:51:02.480 --> 00:51:03.099
 me in the law

00:51:03.099 --> 00:51:03.619
 of Moses

00:51:03.619 --> 00:51:04.420
 and the prophets

00:51:04.420 --> 00:51:05.239
 and the Psalms

00:51:05.239 --> 00:51:06.960
 must be fulfilled

00:51:06.960 --> 00:51:08.019
 and then he

00:51:08.019 --> 00:51:08.980
 opened their minds

00:51:08.980 --> 00:51:10.699
 to understand

00:51:10.699 --> 00:51:11.879
 the scriptures

00:51:11.879 --> 00:51:13.819
 and then he

00:51:13.819 --> 00:51:14.439
 goes on to say

00:51:14.439 --> 00:51:15.199
 thus it is written

00:51:15.199 --> 00:51:15.879
 that the Christ

00:51:15.879 --> 00:51:16.599
 should suffer

00:51:16.599 --> 00:51:17.939
 and on the third

00:51:17.939 --> 00:51:19.419
 day rise

00:51:19.419 --> 00:51:20.339
 from the dead

00:51:20.339 --> 00:51:22.000
 and the purpose

00:51:22.000 --> 00:51:22.559
 then is

00:51:22.559 --> 00:51:23.559
 that repentance

00:51:23.559 --> 00:51:24.359
 and forgiveness

00:51:24.359 --> 00:51:25.059
 of sin

00:51:25.059 --> 00:51:25.500
 should be

00:51:25.500 --> 00:51:26.039
 proclaimed

00:51:26.039 --> 00:51:27.179
 in his name

00:51:27.179 --> 00:51:28.419
 to all nations

00:51:28.419 --> 00:51:30.259
 it is the purpose

00:51:30.259 --> 00:51:31.819
 given to the church

00:51:31.819 --> 00:51:32.559
 to the people

00:51:32.559 --> 00:51:33.679
 of God

00:51:33.679 --> 00:51:34.899
 to proclaim

00:51:34.899 --> 00:51:36.359
 this message

00:51:36.359 --> 00:51:37.199
 of a risen

00:51:37.199 --> 00:51:37.919
 saviour

00:51:37.920 --> 00:51:39.139
 to a world

00:51:39.139 --> 00:51:40.700
 that is perishing

00:51:40.700 --> 00:51:42.980
 so we see

00:51:42.980 --> 00:51:44.119
 the resurrection

00:51:44.119 --> 00:51:45.139
 and the peace

00:51:45.139 --> 00:51:45.480
 it brought

00:51:45.480 --> 00:51:46.619
 we see the resurrection

00:51:46.619 --> 00:51:47.980
 and the purpose

00:51:47.980 --> 00:51:48.519
 it brought

00:51:48.519 --> 00:51:49.480
 but finally

00:51:49.480 --> 00:51:50.400
 we see the resurrection

00:51:50.400 --> 00:51:51.440
 and the power

00:51:51.440 --> 00:51:52.700
 that was brought

00:51:52.700 --> 00:51:53.400
 as well

00:51:53.400 --> 00:51:55.119
 the resurrection

00:51:55.119 --> 00:51:56.019
 reminds us

00:51:56.019 --> 00:51:56.740
 of the power

00:51:56.740 --> 00:51:58.059
 of Christ

00:51:58.059 --> 00:51:59.700
 his power

00:51:59.700 --> 00:52:00.539
 over sin

00:52:00.539 --> 00:52:01.639
 and death

00:52:01.639 --> 00:52:02.740
 that he has conquered

00:52:02.740 --> 00:52:03.840
 and the power

00:52:03.840 --> 00:52:04.420
 that he has

00:52:04.420 --> 00:52:05.200
 to save

00:52:05.199 --> 00:52:06.659
 to the uttermost

00:52:06.659 --> 00:52:08.319
 you see

00:52:08.319 --> 00:52:08.939
 he is saying

00:52:08.939 --> 00:52:09.159
 there

00:52:09.159 --> 00:52:09.919
 the repentance

00:52:09.919 --> 00:52:11.000
 and forgiveness

00:52:11.000 --> 00:52:11.519
 of sin

00:52:11.519 --> 00:52:12.359
 should be proclaimed

00:52:12.359 --> 00:52:13.799
 to all nations

00:52:13.799 --> 00:52:14.799
 beginning in Jerusalem

00:52:14.799 --> 00:52:15.839
 you are my witnesses

00:52:15.839 --> 00:52:17.159
 to these things

00:52:17.159 --> 00:52:17.779
 and behold

00:52:17.779 --> 00:52:18.960
 I am sending

00:52:18.960 --> 00:52:19.579
 the promise

00:52:19.579 --> 00:52:20.399
 of my father

00:52:20.399 --> 00:52:21.599
 upon you

00:52:21.599 --> 00:52:23.079
 that he is going

00:52:23.079 --> 00:52:23.899
 to be with them

00:52:23.899 --> 00:52:24.939
 that the Holy Spirit

00:52:24.939 --> 00:52:26.599
 is going to come down

00:52:26.599 --> 00:52:27.739
 upon them

00:52:27.739 --> 00:52:28.579
 and be with them

00:52:28.579 --> 00:52:31.159
 so

00:52:31.159 --> 00:52:32.259
 the resurrection

00:52:32.259 --> 00:52:33.819
 and the mission

00:52:33.820 --> 00:52:34.720
 of the church

00:52:34.720 --> 00:52:36.260
 are so connected

00:52:36.260 --> 00:52:37.940
 with the promise

00:52:37.940 --> 00:52:39.080
 of the power

00:52:39.080 --> 00:52:39.820
 of Christ

00:52:39.820 --> 00:52:41.019
 with his people

00:52:41.019 --> 00:52:42.860
 the Holy Spirit

00:52:42.860 --> 00:52:44.260
 poured down

00:52:44.260 --> 00:52:45.460
 upon them

00:52:45.460 --> 00:52:47.280
 and that is the way

00:52:47.280 --> 00:52:48.120
 that we see

00:52:48.120 --> 00:52:48.800
 the gospel

00:52:48.800 --> 00:52:50.080
 this amazing way

00:52:50.080 --> 00:52:50.800
 it transforms

00:52:50.800 --> 00:52:52.620
 people's lives

00:52:52.620 --> 00:52:54.380
 the way the gospel

00:52:54.380 --> 00:52:55.600
 opens hearts

00:52:55.600 --> 00:52:56.680
 the way the gospel

00:52:56.680 --> 00:52:58.320
 brings us to see

00:52:58.320 --> 00:52:59.559
 a new purpose

00:52:59.559 --> 00:53:00.620
 in this life

00:53:00.620 --> 00:53:01.940
 instead of

00:53:01.940 --> 00:53:02.980
 worshipping self

00:53:02.980 --> 00:53:03.719
 and the gods

00:53:03.719 --> 00:53:04.500
 of this world

00:53:04.500 --> 00:53:05.000
 we come

00:53:05.000 --> 00:53:05.960
 to worship

00:53:05.960 --> 00:53:06.699
 the true

00:53:06.699 --> 00:53:08.420
 and the living God

00:53:08.420 --> 00:53:09.980
 the resurrection

00:53:09.980 --> 00:53:11.960
 brings power

00:53:11.960 --> 00:53:14.519
 Paul again

00:53:14.519 --> 00:53:15.179
 writing in

00:53:15.179 --> 00:53:16.019
 1 Corinthians

00:53:16.019 --> 00:53:16.679
 says

00:53:16.679 --> 00:53:18.260
 the word of the cross

00:53:18.260 --> 00:53:18.860
 is folly

00:53:18.860 --> 00:53:20.199
 to those who are perishing

00:53:20.199 --> 00:53:21.940
 it is foolishness

00:53:21.940 --> 00:53:23.059
 to those who are perishing

00:53:23.059 --> 00:53:23.719
 the cross

00:53:23.719 --> 00:53:25.240
 means nothing

00:53:25.240 --> 00:53:27.440
 but he goes on

00:53:27.440 --> 00:53:27.659
 to say

00:53:27.659 --> 00:53:28.619
 but to us

00:53:28.619 --> 00:53:29.820
 who are being saved

00:53:29.820 --> 00:53:31.620
 it is the power

00:53:31.620 --> 00:53:32.820
 of God

00:53:32.820 --> 00:53:34.380
 the cross

00:53:34.380 --> 00:53:35.120
 is the power

00:53:35.120 --> 00:53:36.400
 of God

00:53:36.400 --> 00:53:37.940
 God's word

00:53:37.940 --> 00:53:38.800
 is powerful

00:53:38.800 --> 00:53:40.280
 God's word

00:53:40.280 --> 00:53:41.240
 is active

00:53:41.240 --> 00:53:43.039
 God's word

00:53:43.039 --> 00:53:44.180
 is able

00:53:44.180 --> 00:53:45.320
 to save

00:53:45.320 --> 00:53:47.100
 in a world

00:53:47.100 --> 00:53:47.760
 that sees

00:53:47.760 --> 00:53:48.640
 so much folly

00:53:48.640 --> 00:53:49.880
 in the cross

00:53:49.880 --> 00:53:50.559
 we should never

00:53:50.559 --> 00:53:51.400
 lose heart

00:53:51.400 --> 00:53:52.480
 instead there is

00:53:52.480 --> 00:53:53.080
 the power

00:53:53.080 --> 00:53:53.740
 of God

00:53:53.740 --> 00:53:54.700
 the power

00:53:54.700 --> 00:53:55.280
 of God

00:53:55.280 --> 00:53:56.559
 to salvation

00:53:56.559 --> 00:53:59.099
 that is our hope

00:53:59.099 --> 00:54:00.799
 that is the gospel

00:54:00.799 --> 00:54:02.079
 that we are called

00:54:02.079 --> 00:54:02.880
 to proclaim

00:54:02.880 --> 00:54:04.539
 with purpose

00:54:04.539 --> 00:54:06.059
 and with power

00:54:06.059 --> 00:54:08.480
 all for the glory

00:54:08.480 --> 00:54:09.940
 of God

00:54:09.940 --> 00:54:12.679
 John Wesley

00:54:12.679 --> 00:54:13.420
 was a great

00:54:13.420 --> 00:54:14.840
 evangelist

00:54:14.840 --> 00:54:16.239
 and his vision

00:54:16.239 --> 00:54:16.719
 was never

00:54:16.719 --> 00:54:17.480
 a small

00:54:17.480 --> 00:54:18.360
 vision

00:54:18.360 --> 00:54:19.779
 and he once

00:54:19.779 --> 00:54:20.400
 said this

00:54:20.400 --> 00:54:22.019
 I want the whole

00:54:22.019 --> 00:54:22.699
 Christ

00:54:22.699 --> 00:54:24.219
 for my saviour

00:54:24.219 --> 00:54:25.619
 I want the whole

00:54:25.619 --> 00:54:26.179
 Bible

00:54:26.179 --> 00:54:27.500
 for my book

00:54:27.500 --> 00:54:29.099
 I want the whole

00:54:29.099 --> 00:54:29.759
 church

00:54:29.759 --> 00:54:31.179
 for my fellowship

00:54:31.179 --> 00:54:32.899
 and I want the whole

00:54:32.899 --> 00:54:33.359
 world

00:54:33.359 --> 00:54:34.719
 for my mission

00:54:34.719 --> 00:54:35.219
 field

00:54:35.219 --> 00:54:37.059
 he never

00:54:37.059 --> 00:54:37.859
 underestimated

00:54:37.859 --> 00:54:38.559
 the power

00:54:38.559 --> 00:54:39.639
 of God

00:54:39.639 --> 00:54:40.699
 the power

00:54:40.699 --> 00:54:41.259
 of God

00:54:41.259 --> 00:54:42.039
 to save

00:54:42.039 --> 00:54:44.099
 and the peace

00:54:44.099 --> 00:54:44.459
 filled

00:54:44.459 --> 00:54:45.619
 people of God

00:54:45.619 --> 00:54:46.579
 are always

00:54:46.579 --> 00:54:47.500
 to be a people

00:54:47.500 --> 00:54:48.359
 of purpose

00:54:48.359 --> 00:54:49.739
 and a people

00:54:49.739 --> 00:54:50.399
 of the power

00:54:50.399 --> 00:54:50.980
 of God

00:54:50.980 --> 00:54:51.519
 with them

00:54:51.519 --> 00:54:53.299
 because we have

00:54:53.300 --> 00:54:53.780
 something

00:54:53.780 --> 00:54:55.019
 to talk

00:54:55.019 --> 00:54:55.380
 about

00:54:55.380 --> 00:54:56.340
 we have

00:54:56.340 --> 00:54:56.680
 something

00:54:56.680 --> 00:54:57.340
 to tell

00:54:57.340 --> 00:54:58.200
 the world

00:54:58.200 --> 00:54:58.740
 around

00:54:58.740 --> 00:54:59.260
 about

00:54:59.260 --> 00:55:01.080
 that

00:55:01.080 --> 00:55:01.560
 Christ

00:55:01.560 --> 00:55:02.180
 came

00:55:02.180 --> 00:55:03.920
 he came

00:55:03.920 --> 00:55:05.100
 to be

00:55:05.100 --> 00:55:06.220
 put into

00:55:06.220 --> 00:55:07.080
 the hands

00:55:07.080 --> 00:55:08.200
 of sinful

00:55:08.200 --> 00:55:08.640
 men

00:55:08.640 --> 00:55:09.000
 to be

00:55:09.000 --> 00:55:09.500
 crucified

00:55:09.500 --> 00:55:11.240
 but on the

00:55:11.240 --> 00:55:11.940
 third day

00:55:11.940 --> 00:55:13.340
 to rise

00:55:13.340 --> 00:55:15.300
 and that is

00:55:15.300 --> 00:55:15.840
 a reminder

00:55:15.840 --> 00:55:16.600
 to us

00:55:16.600 --> 00:55:17.720
 that for

00:55:17.720 --> 00:55:18.500
 everyone around

00:55:18.500 --> 00:55:18.680
 us

00:55:18.680 --> 00:55:19.320
 for us all

00:55:19.320 --> 00:55:19.740
 here

00:55:19.740 --> 00:55:20.480
 for us all

00:55:20.480 --> 00:55:21.400
 everyone we see

00:55:21.400 --> 00:55:22.000
 around us

00:55:22.000 --> 00:55:22.400
 that the day

00:55:22.400 --> 00:55:23.119
 will come

00:55:23.119 --> 00:55:24.480
 when we must

00:55:24.480 --> 00:55:25.039
 appear

00:55:25.039 --> 00:55:26.119
 before the

00:55:26.119 --> 00:55:26.980
 judgment seat

00:55:26.980 --> 00:55:27.700
 of Christ

00:55:27.700 --> 00:55:29.119
 the day

00:55:29.119 --> 00:55:30.480
 of the

00:55:30.480 --> 00:55:31.180
 resurrection

00:55:31.180 --> 00:55:32.800
 the final

00:55:32.800 --> 00:55:33.639
 resurrection

00:55:33.639 --> 00:55:35.119
 and what

00:55:35.119 --> 00:55:35.519
 then

00:55:35.519 --> 00:55:37.019
 where will we

00:55:37.019 --> 00:55:37.519
 stand

00:55:37.519 --> 00:55:37.960
 then

00:55:37.960 --> 00:55:39.500
 will the cross

00:55:39.500 --> 00:55:40.019
 then be

00:55:40.019 --> 00:55:40.980
 foolishness

00:55:40.980 --> 00:55:42.760
 will it be

00:55:42.760 --> 00:55:43.539
 folly to us

00:55:43.539 --> 00:55:44.260
 on that day

00:55:44.260 --> 00:55:45.860
 when we see

00:55:45.860 --> 00:55:46.360
 indeed

00:55:46.360 --> 00:55:47.920
 Christ appearing

00:55:47.920 --> 00:55:48.720
 in our midst

00:55:48.720 --> 00:55:50.720
 will it be

00:55:50.720 --> 00:55:51.320
 foolishness

00:55:51.320 --> 00:55:51.900
 to us

00:55:51.900 --> 00:55:53.180
 or will it

00:55:53.180 --> 00:55:53.580
 be too

00:55:53.580 --> 00:55:53.980
 late

00:55:53.980 --> 00:55:57.340
 the cross

00:55:57.340 --> 00:55:58.400
 is the

00:55:58.400 --> 00:55:59.019
 power of

00:55:59.019 --> 00:55:59.420
 God

00:55:59.420 --> 00:56:00.760
 to salvation

00:56:00.760 --> 00:56:02.180
 it's the

00:56:02.180 --> 00:56:02.640
 cross

00:56:02.640 --> 00:56:03.640
 that we

00:56:03.640 --> 00:56:04.200
 look to

00:56:04.200 --> 00:56:05.860
 the cross

00:56:05.860 --> 00:56:06.340
 where we

00:56:06.340 --> 00:56:07.320
 see the

00:56:07.320 --> 00:56:07.920
 one who

00:56:07.920 --> 00:56:08.820
 was pierced

00:56:08.820 --> 00:56:09.760
 for our

00:56:09.760 --> 00:56:10.780
 transgressions

00:56:10.780 --> 00:56:12.220
 the one who

00:56:12.220 --> 00:56:12.720
 we look to

00:56:12.720 --> 00:56:13.200
 in the midst

00:56:13.200 --> 00:56:13.980
 of a world

00:56:13.980 --> 00:56:15.100
 that's calling

00:56:15.100 --> 00:56:15.700
 in so many

00:56:15.700 --> 00:56:16.740
 different voices

00:56:16.740 --> 00:56:18.320
 to go this

00:56:18.320 --> 00:56:18.860
 way to go

00:56:18.860 --> 00:56:19.420
 that way

00:56:19.420 --> 00:56:20.380
 to shun

00:56:20.380 --> 00:56:20.760
 God

00:56:20.760 --> 00:56:21.220
 to turn

00:56:21.220 --> 00:56:21.840
 away from

00:56:21.840 --> 00:56:22.099
 him

00:56:22.099 --> 00:56:23.380
 are we going

00:56:23.380 --> 00:56:23.880
 to listen

00:56:23.880 --> 00:56:24.420
 to these

00:56:24.420 --> 00:56:24.980
 voices

00:56:24.980 --> 00:56:26.260
 or will we

00:56:26.260 --> 00:56:26.760
 listen to

00:56:26.760 --> 00:56:27.340
 the voice

00:56:27.340 --> 00:56:28.480
 of the

00:56:28.480 --> 00:56:28.900
 Lord

00:56:28.900 --> 00:56:30.300
 the voice

00:56:30.300 --> 00:56:30.599
 of the

00:56:30.599 --> 00:56:30.860
 Lord

00:56:30.860 --> 00:56:31.320
 who even

00:56:31.320 --> 00:56:31.880
 this evening

00:56:31.880 --> 00:56:32.200
 we could

00:56:32.200 --> 00:56:32.599
 say

00:56:32.599 --> 00:56:33.660
 is here

00:56:33.660 --> 00:56:34.420
 with us

00:56:34.420 --> 00:56:35.940
 he is here

00:56:35.940 --> 00:56:36.500
 with us

00:56:36.500 --> 00:56:37.059
 through his

00:56:37.059 --> 00:56:37.579
 word

00:56:37.579 --> 00:56:39.059
 and his

00:56:39.059 --> 00:56:39.680
 word this

00:56:39.680 --> 00:56:40.260
 evening is

00:56:40.260 --> 00:56:40.780
 peace

00:56:40.780 --> 00:56:42.019
 to you

00:56:42.019 --> 00:56:44.099
 peace

00:56:44.099 --> 00:56:46.420
 but do

00:56:46.420 --> 00:56:46.940
 you have

00:56:46.940 --> 00:56:48.339
 this peace

00:56:48.339 --> 00:56:49.960
 do you

00:56:49.960 --> 00:56:50.500
 have that

00:56:50.500 --> 00:56:50.920
 peace

00:56:50.920 --> 00:56:51.259
 that can

00:56:51.259 --> 00:56:51.679
 only be

00:56:51.679 --> 00:56:52.099
 found

00:56:52.099 --> 00:56:53.380
 in Christ

00:56:53.380 --> 00:56:55.139
 nothing

00:56:55.139 --> 00:56:55.619
 in this

00:56:55.619 --> 00:56:56.099
 world

00:56:56.099 --> 00:56:57.119
 can offer

00:56:57.119 --> 00:56:57.779
 the peace

00:56:57.779 --> 00:56:58.239
 that he

00:56:58.239 --> 00:56:58.699
 gives

00:56:58.699 --> 00:57:00.079
 because it

00:57:00.079 --> 00:57:00.380
 is a

00:57:00.380 --> 00:57:00.799
 peace

00:57:00.799 --> 00:57:01.639
 for today

00:57:01.639 --> 00:57:03.059
 it is a

00:57:03.059 --> 00:57:03.380
 peace

00:57:03.380 --> 00:57:04.119
 for tomorrow

00:57:04.119 --> 00:57:05.219
 it's a

00:57:05.219 --> 00:57:05.500
 peace

00:57:05.500 --> 00:57:06.139
 that passes

00:57:06.139 --> 00:57:07.119
 understanding

00:57:07.119 --> 00:57:08.779
 and it's a

00:57:08.779 --> 00:57:09.239
 peace

00:57:09.239 --> 00:57:10.279
 that will

00:57:10.279 --> 00:57:10.839
 see us

00:57:10.839 --> 00:57:11.259
 through

00:57:11.259 --> 00:57:12.159
 into

00:57:12.159 --> 00:57:12.900
 eternity

00:57:12.900 --> 00:57:14.700
 there is

00:57:14.700 --> 00:57:15.340
 a peace

00:57:15.340 --> 00:57:16.380
 for us

00:57:16.380 --> 00:57:17.740
 but it's

00:57:17.740 --> 00:57:18.539
 only found

00:57:18.539 --> 00:57:19.960
 in Christ

00:57:19.960 --> 00:57:21.800
 we despair

00:57:21.800 --> 00:57:22.700
 for those

00:57:22.700 --> 00:57:23.019
 who would

00:57:23.019 --> 00:57:23.480
 say

00:57:23.480 --> 00:57:24.639
 that to

00:57:24.639 --> 00:57:24.920
 die

00:57:24.920 --> 00:57:25.280
 without

00:57:25.280 --> 00:57:25.920
 Christ

00:57:25.920 --> 00:57:27.000
 is to

00:57:27.000 --> 00:57:27.400
 be able

00:57:27.400 --> 00:57:28.019
 to die

00:57:28.019 --> 00:57:29.260
 in peace

00:57:29.260 --> 00:57:31.400
 it never

00:57:31.400 --> 00:57:31.840
 is

00:57:31.840 --> 00:57:33.500
 the only

00:57:33.500 --> 00:57:33.960
 way to

00:57:33.960 --> 00:57:34.320
 die

00:57:34.320 --> 00:57:35.039
 in peace

00:57:35.039 --> 00:57:36.320
 is to

00:57:36.320 --> 00:57:36.720
 die

00:57:36.720 --> 00:57:37.480
 with

00:57:37.480 --> 00:57:38.039
 Christ

00:57:38.039 --> 00:57:39.160
 in your

00:57:39.160 --> 00:57:39.639
 heart

00:57:39.639 --> 00:57:40.599
 and that

00:57:40.599 --> 00:57:41.200
 assurance

00:57:41.200 --> 00:57:42.680
 of believing

00:57:42.679 --> 00:57:43.899
 in him

00:57:43.899 --> 00:57:45.440
 the one

00:57:45.440 --> 00:57:45.779
 who was

00:57:45.779 --> 00:57:46.339
 condemned

00:57:46.339 --> 00:57:47.659
 the one

00:57:47.659 --> 00:57:47.960
 who was

00:57:47.960 --> 00:57:48.519
 crucified

00:57:48.519 --> 00:57:50.259
 but the

00:57:50.259 --> 00:57:50.759
 one who

00:57:50.759 --> 00:57:51.359
 is risen

00:57:51.359 --> 00:57:52.940
 the one

00:57:52.940 --> 00:57:53.519
 who rose

00:57:53.519 --> 00:57:53.879
 on the

00:57:53.879 --> 00:57:54.519
 third day

00:57:54.519 --> 00:57:55.819
 and the

00:57:55.819 --> 00:57:56.179
 one

00:57:56.179 --> 00:57:57.079
 who will

00:57:57.079 --> 00:57:57.399
 come

00:57:57.399 --> 00:57:57.859
 again

00:57:57.859 --> 00:57:59.379
 the one

00:57:59.379 --> 00:58:00.359
 who is

00:58:00.359 --> 00:58:01.019
 victorious

00:58:01.019 --> 00:58:02.539
 the one

00:58:02.539 --> 00:58:02.839
 who is

00:58:02.839 --> 00:58:03.279
 building

00:58:03.279 --> 00:58:04.219
 his church

00:58:04.219 --> 00:58:06.019
 the one

00:58:06.019 --> 00:58:07.099
 who would

00:58:07.099 --> 00:58:07.579
 want to

00:58:07.579 --> 00:58:08.079
 come and

00:58:08.079 --> 00:58:08.419
 say

 Because it is that my right hand I'll not be overdone.

01:01:25.099 --> 01:01:44.619
 Therefore my heart is loud, my tongue which I will sing.

01:01:44.619 --> 01:02:03.619
 Thy body too will rest in pure in hope and withering.

01:02:03.619 --> 01:02:21.619
 For you will not allow my soul in death to save.

01:02:21.619 --> 01:02:38.619
 For when you leave your holy blood to see the truth today,

01:02:38.619 --> 01:02:49.619
 you have made hope to me.

01:02:49.619 --> 01:02:59.619
 Where hath the light divine,

01:02:59.619 --> 01:03:09.619
 This shall I hope that you're right hand,

01:03:09.619 --> 01:03:18.619
 Joy from your face will shine.

01:03:19.619 --> 01:03:23.199
 We'll give thanks for the food we're going to have next door,

01:03:23.299 --> 01:03:25.960
 and then the benediction, and after that I'll go to the main door.

01:03:27.119 --> 01:03:31.819
 Lord, our gracious God, we ask you to continue with us now in our fellowship together.

01:03:31.960 --> 01:03:34.480
 We thank you for all that's been prepared for us.

01:03:35.059 --> 01:03:38.579
 The food that we are about to receive, Lord, bless it to our bodies

01:03:38.579 --> 01:03:41.840
 and continue to bless our fellowship around your word

01:03:41.840 --> 01:03:46.119
 and the encouragement that we have in sharing and hearing of your goodness

01:03:46.119 --> 01:03:48.059
 in the lives of your people.

01:03:48.059 --> 01:03:52.139
 We pray that you'll bless both Paul and Elizabeth as they speak to us

01:03:52.139 --> 01:03:54.819
 and all that we do in your name this evening.

01:03:55.500 --> 01:03:58.480
 Now may grace, mercy, and peace from God,

01:03:58.900 --> 01:04:05.579
 Father, Son, and Holy Spirit rest upon and abide with you all now and forevermore.

01:04:06.119 --> 01:04:06.539
 Amen.
