00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.240
 Would you open up your Bibles to Mark chapter 16, verses 1-8.

00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:13.259
 It's on page 1014 of your pew Bible.

00:00:14.740 --> 00:00:15.740
!

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:38.600
 I can still remember driving our red 1991 Honda Civic 4-door from Riverside Hospital

00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:41.259
 to our apartment on Doris Avenue.

00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:44.539
 My young bride, Jenny, sitting shotgun.

00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:51.659
 And in the back, strapped into our car seat, was our firstborn, Abby.

00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:53.939
 All seven pounds of her.

00:00:54.019 --> 00:00:58.620
 We were driving home from the hospital where she had just been delivered.

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:06.840
 We safely arrived at our apartment, carried her into our living room,

00:01:06.980 --> 00:01:09.480
 set her down before our couch.

00:01:09.620 --> 00:01:11.019
 Jenny and I sat on the couch.

00:01:11.460 --> 00:01:17.560
 We were looking at this seven-pound little girl, and we were in stunned silence.

00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:22.200
 Because we were experiencing a number of emotions.

00:01:23.819 --> 00:01:24.240
 Fear.

00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:27.879
 Oh, Lord, help us not mess this thing up.

00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:31.280
 Trembling.

00:01:31.619 --> 00:01:32.259
 A little shaking.

00:01:32.659 --> 00:01:33.479
 A little astonishment.

00:01:33.659 --> 00:01:34.939
 Can you believe she's ours?

00:01:36.939 --> 00:01:37.340
 Joy.

00:01:38.140 --> 00:01:39.500
 Mixed with wonder.

00:01:41.379 --> 00:01:45.019
 But in that stunned silence, we had both drawn the same conclusion.

00:01:45.019 --> 00:01:50.299
 Our lives have been dramatically changed.

00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:53.259
 There's no going back.

00:01:54.859 --> 00:02:04.539
 The Gospel of Mark ends with three women outside of an empty tomb, seized by fear and astonishment.

00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:05.679
 They were trembling.

00:02:05.859 --> 00:02:08.300
 They were literally shaking, stunned silence.

00:02:08.300 --> 00:02:11.219
 They weren't saying a word to anyone.

00:02:12.160 --> 00:02:14.580
 I mean, this is how the Gospel of Mark closes.

00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:20.580
 There's some debate on where it closes, but I think this is the best place.

00:02:21.580 --> 00:02:23.040
 The question is, what happened?

00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:28.500
 Why were they sitting outside the tomb in stunned silence?

00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:33.620
 I mean, these three women had been following Jesus for at least two to three years, giving

00:02:33.620 --> 00:02:40.439
 of themselves, sharing meals, seeing His miracles take place, listening to His teaching.

00:02:41.399 --> 00:02:45.099
 What are they doing outside the tomb in stunned silence?

00:02:45.099 --> 00:02:52.579
 Well, here we are 2,000 years after this event.

00:02:53.539 --> 00:02:59.319
 And we too are standing outside the empty tomb.

00:03:01.259 --> 00:03:07.000
 We too need to make sense of this empty tomb.

00:03:07.780 --> 00:03:15.079
 Maybe you came into this building this morning, and you're...

00:03:15.099 --> 00:03:16.139
 You're thinking, you know what?

00:03:16.379 --> 00:03:20.439
 I don't know about this resurrection thing because dead people stay dead.

00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:23.459
 It's how things roll.

00:03:24.359 --> 00:03:29.639
 You subscribe to a naturalistic explanation of reality.

00:03:30.620 --> 00:03:31.519
 I'm glad you're here.

00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:39.079
 Or maybe you've come into this building, and you're like, I don't really have anything against

00:03:39.079 --> 00:03:39.500
 Jesus.

00:03:39.699 --> 00:03:42.419
 In fact, I do think that He died and was raised.

00:03:42.959 --> 00:03:44.280
 But you know what?

00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:51.560
 I really don't want to give up these things that I like doing that God doesn't want me

00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:51.819
 doing.

00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:54.139
 I don't really want to give those up.

00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:55.740
 I'm glad you're here too.

00:03:57.340 --> 00:04:01.360
 Maybe you're a Christian here, and you've been living in hiding.

00:04:03.539 --> 00:04:04.939
 You've been isolating.

00:04:04.939 --> 00:04:13.159
 You have kind of been avoiding other Christians because either something bad has happened with

00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:17.839
 the church, or you're ashamed of yourself for something you're involved with.

00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:19.420
 I'm glad that you're here.

00:04:19.420 --> 00:04:26.540
 And if you're a Christian who's been running hard, I'm glad you're here too.

00:04:26.540 --> 00:04:37.140
 You see, at the end of Mark 16, 16, 1 through 8, there is this extraordinary claim.

00:04:37.139 --> 00:04:40.139
 It's a heavenly announcement.

00:04:41.139 --> 00:04:42.300
 It's just three words.

00:04:43.419 --> 00:04:44.399
 He is risen.

00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:47.180
 And it changes everything.

00:04:48.459 --> 00:04:50.560
 So let me read this account.

00:04:50.919 --> 00:04:53.099
 And there are three scenes I want you to be looking for.

00:04:53.539 --> 00:04:56.819
 Scene one is these three women approaching the tomb.

00:04:57.479 --> 00:05:00.099
 Scene two are these three women in the tomb.

00:05:00.100 --> 00:05:04.480
 And scene three are these three women outside of the tomb.

00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:06.760
 So listen as I read.

00:05:06.900 --> 00:05:13.460
 When the Sabbath was passed, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought

00:05:13.460 --> 00:05:19.460
 spices so that they might anoint him, go and anoint him.

00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:25.140
 And very early on, the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb.

00:05:25.300 --> 00:05:29.439
 And they were saying to one another, who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance

00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:30.019
 of the tomb.

00:05:30.100 --> 00:05:33.040
 And looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away.

00:05:33.180 --> 00:05:34.319
 It was very large.

00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:41.980
 And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white

00:05:41.980 --> 00:05:44.439
 robe, and they were alarmed.

00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:47.399
 And he said to them, do not be alarmed.

00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:50.439
 You see Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified.

00:05:50.980 --> 00:05:51.860
 He has risen.

00:05:52.519 --> 00:05:53.439
 He is not here.

00:05:54.019 --> 00:05:55.579
 See the place where they laid him?

00:05:55.579 --> 00:06:01.139
 But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you to Galilee.

00:06:01.620 --> 00:06:04.039
 There you will see him just as he told you.

00:06:05.539 --> 00:06:11.620
 And they went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had seized them.

00:06:11.979 --> 00:06:16.500
 And they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

00:06:16.500 --> 00:06:22.399
 How do you make sense of this empty tomb?

00:06:23.540 --> 00:06:25.620
 Well, let's look at this first scene.

00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:30.939
 These three women approaching the tomb in verses one through four.

00:06:31.100 --> 00:06:34.139
 So these three women are walking to the tomb.

00:06:34.500 --> 00:06:38.819
 And this is the tomb in which Jesus' dead body has been laid three days earlier.

00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:44.860
 So this is the third day since he had been crucified, dead, and buried.

00:06:44.860 --> 00:06:46.160
 So who are these three women?

00:06:46.960 --> 00:06:47.819
 Well, we're told their names.

00:06:48.280 --> 00:06:50.879
 Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome.

00:06:51.780 --> 00:06:56.680
 And what you need to know about them is that they're not new to this whole account.

00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:02.340
 If you look back at chapter 15, and you look at verses 40 and 41, we read this.

00:07:02.400 --> 00:07:06.300
 Now this is just moments after Jesus has breathed his last.

00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:09.939
 The centurion has observed this and has said,

00:07:09.939 --> 00:07:13.779
 Surely, truly, this was the Son of God.

00:07:14.899 --> 00:07:15.879
 And we read in verse 40,

00:07:15.980 --> 00:07:20.719
 There were also women looking on from a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene,

00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:24.959
 and Mary the mother of James the younger, and of Joseph, and Salome.

00:07:26.060 --> 00:07:27.939
 And what we also learn in verse 41 is,

00:07:28.159 --> 00:07:31.540
 When he was in Galilee, these women followed him and ministered to him.

00:07:31.540 --> 00:07:36.160
 And there were also many other women who came up with him in Jerusalem.

00:07:36.400 --> 00:07:41.200
 So these three women were followers of Jesus.

00:07:41.540 --> 00:07:44.879
 For the last two to three years, they had been making meals for him.

00:07:45.060 --> 00:07:46.740
 They had been helping him out financially.

00:07:46.980 --> 00:07:48.420
 They had been listening to his teaching.

00:07:48.840 --> 00:07:51.120
 They had been watching him perform miracles.

00:07:51.620 --> 00:07:55.160
 They had shared a lot of life with him.

00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:57.220
 But they've also seen him crucified.

00:07:57.740 --> 00:08:00.720
 And two of the three had now seen where he was buried.

00:08:01.020 --> 00:08:03.900
 In the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea.

00:08:06.140 --> 00:08:09.820
 Mary, the mother of James, is also the Mary of Joseph.

00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:13.960
 She's actually the mother of Jesus.

00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:14.980
 It's that Mary.

00:08:16.200 --> 00:08:18.260
 Maybe you know her as the Virgin Mary.

00:08:19.379 --> 00:08:22.160
 James and Joseph, well, those are Jesus' half-brothers.

00:08:23.020 --> 00:08:25.040
 Born of Mary and Joseph.

00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:28.600
 Of a different father than Jesus.

00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:33.379
 She had been a follower of Jesus herself.

00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:36.740
 Notice when this happens.

00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:38.420
 We see who, now look at when.

00:08:38.500 --> 00:08:39.600
 In verse 16, 1.

00:08:39.980 --> 00:08:41.580
 When the Sabbath was passed.

00:08:42.180 --> 00:08:43.680
 Now remember, in the Jewish mind,

00:08:44.019 --> 00:08:46.879
 the Sabbath was the last day of the week.

00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:49.279
 And it was on Saturday.

00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:51.800
 So what has happened is,

00:08:51.800 --> 00:08:54.080
 Friday and Saturday has passed.

00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:57.580
 And now it's the first day of the week.

00:08:58.020 --> 00:08:59.300
 Which is Sunday.

00:09:00.420 --> 00:09:01.879
 And it was at sunrise.

00:09:02.020 --> 00:09:04.940
 Have you heard of a sunrise Easter service?

00:09:05.300 --> 00:09:07.920
 This is why there are sunrise Easter service.

00:09:08.520 --> 00:09:09.800
 At sunrise.

00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:17.279
 So it was the first day of the week on the Sabbath has passed.

00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:19.179
 It is daybreak.

00:09:19.579 --> 00:09:21.839
 And what I just want you to notice here is,

00:09:21.979 --> 00:09:27.419
 Mark seems to be very interested in helping you know what day it is.

00:09:27.419 --> 00:09:29.360
 He wants to make you sure,

00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:30.120
 make sure you know,

00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:32.839
 this isn't Friday the day that Jesus was crucified,

00:09:33.099 --> 00:09:34.879
 nor is it Sabbath the Saturday,

00:09:35.139 --> 00:09:36.679
 but this is the first day of the week.

00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:37.539
 This is Sunday.

00:09:37.860 --> 00:09:39.099
 Now we've got to ask the question,

00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:41.599
 why does he want us to know that?

00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:47.600
 In verse 1,

00:09:47.659 --> 00:09:50.980
 we see what these women have come to do.

00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:58.759
 They went to the tomb to anoint him with these spices.

00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:06.600
 It's just part of the practice of Jewish burial rites

00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:10.019
 back in the first century of preparing a body.

00:10:10.220 --> 00:10:12.779
 They weren't able to fully prepare the body on Friday

00:10:12.779 --> 00:10:17.700
 because technically the Sabbath starts at sundown on Friday.

00:10:17.939 --> 00:10:19.080
 And so they had to wait.

00:10:20.340 --> 00:10:25.620
 And so they have come in order to finish preparing the body.

00:10:25.620 --> 00:10:28.179
 Now this gets at the state of mind that these three women are in.

00:10:29.159 --> 00:10:30.539
 What are they expecting?

00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:34.419
 They're expecting to find the corpse of Jesus Christ.

00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:37.059
 They're expecting to find his body.

00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:42.960
 They're going to the tomb to finish burial rites.

00:10:43.460 --> 00:10:46.939
 So that goes to the state of mind that they were in.

00:10:47.100 --> 00:10:52.840
 They were heading out to the tomb on early that Sunday morning

00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:55.939
 expecting to find the one that they watched die

00:10:55.940 --> 00:10:59.120
 and then they watched where his body was laid.

00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:02.120
 And mind you,

00:11:02.880 --> 00:11:05.180
 they also saw this massive stone

00:11:05.180 --> 00:11:08.500
 rolled in front of the entrance of the tomb.

00:11:08.860 --> 00:11:09.640
 Speaking of which,

00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:11.900
 this tomb was the tomb

00:11:11.900 --> 00:11:14.400
 of a guy named Joseph of Arimathea.

00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:18.299
 If you look up in chapter 15, verse 43,

00:11:18.860 --> 00:11:21.779
 we see a little bit more about who this guy is.

00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:23.439
 Joseph of Arimathea,

00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:25.079
 respected member of the council.

00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:26.220
 That's the Sanhedrin,

00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:30.899
 which means he had some influence in Jerusalem,

00:11:31.259 --> 00:11:34.899
 who was also himself looking for the kingdom of God.

00:11:34.959 --> 00:11:36.279
 That means he's a follower of Jesus.

00:11:36.860 --> 00:11:38.179
 He took courage and went to Pilate

00:11:38.179 --> 00:11:39.500
 and asked for the body of Jesus.

00:11:39.500 --> 00:11:42.820
 Pilate was surprised to hear that he should have already died.

00:11:42.940 --> 00:11:44.120
 And summoning the centurion,

00:11:44.220 --> 00:11:45.899
 he asked him whether he was already dead.

00:11:45.980 --> 00:11:47.340
 And when he learned that the centurion,

00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:49.080
 that he was dead,

00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:50.919
 he granted the corpse to Joseph.

00:11:51.059 --> 00:11:53.019
 And Joseph bought a linen shroud

00:11:53.019 --> 00:11:53.940
 and taking him down,

00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:55.379
 wrapped him in the linen shroud

00:11:55.379 --> 00:11:56.559
 and laid him in a tomb

00:11:56.559 --> 00:11:58.179
 that had been cut out of the rock.

00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:01.700
 And he rolled a stone against the entrance of the rock.

00:12:02.059 --> 00:12:04.899
 This Joseph of Arimathea was a wealthy man,

00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:07.179
 a follower of Jesus.

00:12:07.179 --> 00:12:09.139
 And upon Jesus' death,

00:12:09.199 --> 00:12:11.459
 he has Jesus' body taken down,

00:12:11.819 --> 00:12:13.019
 wrapped it in a shroud,

00:12:13.199 --> 00:12:15.139
 and then placed in his own tomb.

00:12:15.899 --> 00:12:18.279
 This actually fulfills Isaiah 53, 9.

00:12:20.059 --> 00:12:22.819
 There was no question that Jesus was actually dead.

00:12:24.479 --> 00:12:26.439
 In fact, if you were listening,

00:12:26.859 --> 00:12:29.579
 Pilate was surprised that Jesus had died so quickly.

00:12:29.819 --> 00:12:31.339
 So he summons the centurion,

00:12:31.439 --> 00:12:34.019
 most likely the centurion that had just announced,

00:12:34.199 --> 00:12:34.599
 confessed,

00:12:35.099 --> 00:12:37.000
 truly this was the son of God.

00:12:37.179 --> 00:12:41.079
 And that centurion confirms that,

00:12:41.219 --> 00:12:42.219
 in fact, he was dead.

00:12:42.859 --> 00:12:45.120
 So they're going to a tomb

00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:46.719
 that they know where it's at.

00:12:47.139 --> 00:12:49.559
 And they're looking for Jesus' dead body

00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:52.120
 to finish preparing it for burial.

00:12:52.419 --> 00:12:53.639
 Now, let's just ask the question,

00:12:53.799 --> 00:12:54.919
 why are they going there?

00:12:55.159 --> 00:12:56.299
 Well, we've already talked about it.

00:12:56.319 --> 00:12:57.599
 They're going to anoint his body.

00:12:57.679 --> 00:12:58.839
 But there's another reason why.

00:13:00.299 --> 00:13:01.240
 They loved him.

00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:05.779
 These three women loved this man.

00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:07.100
 They were grieving him.

00:13:08.620 --> 00:13:11.879
 His death must have been an incredible shock.

00:13:11.980 --> 00:13:15.000
 I'm guessing that they were in a state of

00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:17.700
 just kind of that emotional numbness,

00:13:18.700 --> 00:13:19.299
 where you're like,

00:13:19.340 --> 00:13:20.279
 is this really happening?

00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:23.179
 They're going about their duty

00:13:23.179 --> 00:13:25.199
 because they love him.

00:13:27.279 --> 00:13:28.759
 In verses three and four,

00:13:28.899 --> 00:13:31.360
 as they are approaching the tomb,

00:13:31.539 --> 00:13:32.480
 they remember something.

00:13:34.959 --> 00:13:37.019
 They remember that stone

00:13:37.019 --> 00:13:38.939
 that had been rolled in front

00:13:38.939 --> 00:13:40.439
 of the entrance of the tomb.

00:13:40.440 --> 00:13:43.160
 It was to keep out robbers and vermin.

00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:48.420
 And then they start asking themselves the question,

00:13:49.300 --> 00:13:53.000
 who will roll away the stone for us

00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:54.300
 from the entrance of the tomb?

00:13:54.420 --> 00:13:55.000
 Verse three.

00:13:56.600 --> 00:13:57.660
 How are you going to get in?

00:13:57.720 --> 00:13:58.540
 How are we going to finish

00:13:58.540 --> 00:14:01.120
 preparing his body for burial?

00:14:02.120 --> 00:14:04.960
 And then as they look up

00:14:04.960 --> 00:14:06.840
 after asking the question,

00:14:07.260 --> 00:14:08.540
 they behold something.

00:14:10.440 --> 00:14:12.060
 The massive stone

00:14:12.060 --> 00:14:13.460
 had already been rolled away.

00:14:13.920 --> 00:14:15.760
 The tomb had been opened.

00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:20.500
 Now, I'm guessing at this point,

00:14:21.100 --> 00:14:22.900
 if these three women

00:14:22.900 --> 00:14:24.900
 had heart monitors on them,

00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:26.440
 maybe a smart watch,

00:14:27.300 --> 00:14:28.820
 I think at this point,

00:14:29.560 --> 00:14:30.320
 they would have been like,

00:14:30.400 --> 00:14:30.940
 something's not,

00:14:31.760 --> 00:14:32.500
 something's strange.

00:14:33.940 --> 00:14:34.940
 Their heart rate

00:14:34.940 --> 00:14:36.540
 would have started going up.

00:14:36.880 --> 00:14:38.940
 I'm guessing they're asking this question.

00:14:38.940 --> 00:14:42.140
 Who got here before us?

00:14:42.860 --> 00:14:43.820
 Who opened up his tomb?

00:14:45.160 --> 00:14:46.240
 What were they going to do?

00:14:48.100 --> 00:14:49.760
 And so what we have here

00:14:49.760 --> 00:14:51.780
 in this first scene

00:14:51.780 --> 00:14:53.940
 is these three women

00:14:53.940 --> 00:14:55.840
 approaching the tomb

00:14:55.840 --> 00:14:57.620
 and they are expecting

00:14:57.620 --> 00:14:59.440
 to find a corpse,

00:15:00.340 --> 00:15:02.880
 the dead body of Jesus.

00:15:03.880 --> 00:15:06.540
 Scene two is in verses five through seven.

00:15:06.539 --> 00:15:09.099
 And this scene takes place

00:15:09.099 --> 00:15:11.799
 inside the tomb.

00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:15.519
 These three women enter the tomb

00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:16.419
 in verse five

00:15:16.419 --> 00:15:17.939
 and it would have been

00:15:17.939 --> 00:15:19.959
 this hollowed out chamber.

00:15:20.500 --> 00:15:21.299
 Most likely,

00:15:21.439 --> 00:15:22.919
 they would have to step down

00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:25.159
 into this chamber.

00:15:25.719 --> 00:15:26.219
 And again,

00:15:26.299 --> 00:15:27.779
 what were they expecting to find?

00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:29.839
 The body of Jesus.

00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:32.960
 And so when they don't find

00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:34.019
 the body of Jesus,

00:15:34.540 --> 00:15:35.960
 they are surprised

00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:38.000
 to find a young man.

00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:41.879
 A young man wearing white robes

00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:44.980
 which are reflective

00:15:44.980 --> 00:15:48.280
 of holiness and purity.

00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:50.200
 These white robes reflect

00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:52.060
 where this young man

00:15:52.060 --> 00:15:54.200
 hails from.

00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:56.180
 This young man

00:15:56.180 --> 00:15:58.300
 is an angel.

00:15:58.299 --> 00:16:01.359
 And when these women come in,

00:16:01.439 --> 00:16:02.019
 this young man

00:16:02.019 --> 00:16:02.979
 is sitting off

00:16:02.979 --> 00:16:04.919
 to the right of the platform

00:16:04.919 --> 00:16:06.500
 where Jesus' body

00:16:06.500 --> 00:16:07.620
 had been laid.

00:16:09.959 --> 00:16:11.079
 And in verse five,

00:16:11.139 --> 00:16:11.919
 you have one of the

00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:13.779
 greatest understatements

00:16:13.779 --> 00:16:15.620
 in the gospel of Mark,

00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:17.159
 maybe in the New Testament.

00:16:18.299 --> 00:16:19.620
 Let me just read it for you.

00:16:19.620 --> 00:16:22.100
 And entering the tomb,

00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:23.240
 they saw a young man

00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:24.519
 sitting on the right side

00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:26.679
 dressed in a white robe

00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:28.820
 and they were alarmed.

00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:31.460
 That is an understatement.

00:16:32.179 --> 00:16:33.360
 Because if you

00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:35.659
 were with those three women

00:16:35.659 --> 00:16:36.980
 who had just gone

00:16:36.980 --> 00:16:37.879
 into the tomb

00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:39.120
 expecting to find

00:16:39.120 --> 00:16:40.299
 the dead body of Jesus

00:16:40.299 --> 00:16:41.759
 but find this young man

00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:42.320
 in white

00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:44.139
 with Jesus' body not there,

00:16:44.340 --> 00:16:44.779
 you're going to be

00:16:44.779 --> 00:16:45.340
 a little more

00:16:45.340 --> 00:16:46.700
 than just kind of alarmed.

00:16:47.879 --> 00:16:48.419
 I'm guessing you're going

00:16:48.419 --> 00:16:49.019
 to be freaking out

00:16:49.019 --> 00:16:49.539
 a little bit.

00:16:49.839 --> 00:16:50.899
 So that heart monitor,

00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:52.779
 that smart watch,

00:16:53.559 --> 00:16:54.319
 their heartbeat

00:16:54.319 --> 00:16:55.399
 just spiked.

00:16:59.979 --> 00:17:01.179
 Did we come to the wrong tomb?

00:17:03.779 --> 00:17:04.599
 Who's this guy?

00:17:07.180 --> 00:17:08.319
 Where's the body of Jesus?

00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:12.539
 What's interesting

00:17:12.539 --> 00:17:13.879
 is that these three women

00:17:13.879 --> 00:17:15.539
 are in the tomb

00:17:15.539 --> 00:17:17.259
 emptied of the body

00:17:17.259 --> 00:17:17.879
 of Jesus

00:17:17.879 --> 00:17:20.059
 and it hasn't yet

00:17:20.059 --> 00:17:21.159
 dawned on them

00:17:21.159 --> 00:17:23.179
 what has really happened.

00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:28.579
 Could you imagine

00:17:28.579 --> 00:17:29.519
 where their heart rates are?

00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:32.059
 In verse 6,

00:17:32.980 --> 00:17:35.460
 the angel speaks

00:17:35.460 --> 00:17:39.759
 among other things,

00:17:39.880 --> 00:17:41.740
 angels are messengers of God.

00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:44.019
 They deliver heavenly news

00:17:44.019 --> 00:17:45.759
 from God

00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:46.900
 and look what he says.

00:17:47.779 --> 00:17:48.380
 He says,

00:17:48.579 --> 00:17:49.259
 don't be afraid.

00:17:50.340 --> 00:17:51.000
 In other words,

00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:54.000
 I don't know

00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:54.840
 if this is really true

00:17:54.840 --> 00:17:56.360
 but this is where my mind goes.

00:17:57.700 --> 00:17:59.660
 There is a reasonable explanation

00:17:59.660 --> 00:18:01.400
 for all of this.

00:18:02.900 --> 00:18:03.860
 Don't be alarmed.

00:18:03.859 --> 00:18:07.759
 And he goes on to say,

00:18:07.859 --> 00:18:08.879
 Jesus of Nazareth

00:18:08.879 --> 00:18:09.699
 who was crucified,

00:18:09.899 --> 00:18:10.819
 you got the right tomb.

00:18:13.179 --> 00:18:15.179
 This Jesus of Nazareth

00:18:15.179 --> 00:18:16.759
 who was crucified,

00:18:17.339 --> 00:18:19.000
 this angel knew

00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:21.219
 of Jesus' crucifixion

00:18:21.219 --> 00:18:23.719
 and all of heavenly host

00:18:23.719 --> 00:18:25.539
 knew that Jesus

00:18:25.539 --> 00:18:27.199
 had been crucified

00:18:27.199 --> 00:18:29.019
 and that he had died

00:18:29.019 --> 00:18:29.939
 and they knew

00:18:29.939 --> 00:18:30.919
 where he was buried.

00:18:31.259 --> 00:18:32.939
 They were at the right tomb.

00:18:32.940 --> 00:18:34.660
 He's like this Jesus

00:18:34.660 --> 00:18:35.740
 of Nazareth

00:18:35.740 --> 00:18:36.900
 who was crucified

00:18:36.900 --> 00:18:38.460
 who you seek.

00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:40.140
 I know why you're here.

00:18:42.140 --> 00:18:43.539
 They're there to

00:18:43.539 --> 00:18:47.840
 finish anointing

00:18:47.840 --> 00:18:48.680
 the body

00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:49.940
 of a crucified

00:18:49.940 --> 00:18:51.720
 and dead Jesus.

00:18:53.360 --> 00:18:54.700
 And then comes

00:18:54.700 --> 00:18:55.880
 the heavenly explanation.

00:18:57.580 --> 00:18:58.940
 This is the explanation

00:18:59.539 --> 00:19:00.559
 from heaven,

00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:02.919
 from a messenger of God

00:19:02.919 --> 00:19:05.119
 of what has happened

00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:06.200
 and why there is

00:19:06.200 --> 00:19:08.119
 no body of Jesus.

00:19:08.639 --> 00:19:09.819
 It's just three words.

00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:11.259
 He has risen.

00:19:12.879 --> 00:19:14.220
 He has risen.

00:19:15.740 --> 00:19:16.960
 He's been raised

00:19:16.960 --> 00:19:18.279
 from the dead.

00:19:18.500 --> 00:19:19.759
 He is alive.

00:19:19.879 --> 00:19:21.500
 He's overcome death.

00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:22.799
 This is a miracle.

00:19:23.779 --> 00:19:24.879
 This is God's doing.

00:19:25.619 --> 00:19:26.259
 And then comes

00:19:26.259 --> 00:19:27.119
 another understatement.

00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:27.559
 See?

00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:30.519
 See?

00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:32.959
 Look at the place

00:19:32.959 --> 00:19:34.239
 where they laid him.

00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:35.759
 It's God

00:19:35.759 --> 00:19:36.519
 he's not there.

00:19:36.639 --> 00:19:36.779
 See?

00:19:39.039 --> 00:19:40.259
 He is risen.

00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:43.579
 You know,

00:19:43.939 --> 00:19:46.399
 in Luke's account

00:19:46.399 --> 00:19:47.399
 of this,

00:19:48.399 --> 00:19:49.619
 the angel says,

00:19:49.619 --> 00:19:50.959
 why do you seek

00:19:50.959 --> 00:19:51.599
 the living

00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:52.799
 among the dead?

00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:55.779
 this angel

00:19:55.779 --> 00:19:57.240
 has just announced

00:19:57.240 --> 00:20:00.159
 the heavenly reason

00:20:00.159 --> 00:20:02.059
 for the empty tomb.

00:20:02.819 --> 00:20:04.299
 He is risen.

00:20:04.639 --> 00:20:06.200
 He is alive.

00:20:06.700 --> 00:20:07.559
 He's been brought

00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:10.180
 back from the dead

00:20:10.180 --> 00:20:11.339
 to life.

00:20:12.579 --> 00:20:13.460
 Verse 7,

00:20:13.539 --> 00:20:14.119
 the angel

00:20:14.119 --> 00:20:15.379
 is not done speaking.

00:20:15.539 --> 00:20:16.039
 He's got some

00:20:16.039 --> 00:20:17.500
 kind of instructions

00:20:17.500 --> 00:20:18.859
 for these three women.

00:20:19.639 --> 00:20:20.519
 He goes on

00:20:20.519 --> 00:20:21.099
 to tell them,

00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:22.740
 go tell the disciples.

00:20:23.159 --> 00:20:24.119
 especially Peter.

00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:26.720
 Tell them

00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:27.379
 that Jesus

00:20:27.379 --> 00:20:28.740
 has gone before them

00:20:28.740 --> 00:20:29.339
 to Galilee.

00:20:29.599 --> 00:20:30.599
 There you will see him.

00:20:30.859 --> 00:20:31.139
 Now,

00:20:31.240 --> 00:20:32.200
 why that's important

00:20:32.200 --> 00:20:33.659
 is all the disciples

00:20:33.659 --> 00:20:35.200
 have abandoned Jesus

00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:37.419
 and especially Peter.

00:20:38.379 --> 00:20:39.859
 Be sure to tell them

00:20:39.859 --> 00:20:40.579
 that Jesus

00:20:40.579 --> 00:20:42.139
 has gone before them.

00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:46.299
 And then he says,

00:20:46.599 --> 00:20:48.180
 just as he told you.

00:20:48.180 --> 00:20:51.080
 I think this is the moment

00:20:51.080 --> 00:20:53.960
 where these women

00:20:53.960 --> 00:20:55.019
 with racing hearts,

00:20:55.660 --> 00:20:57.019
 I think this is the moment

00:20:57.019 --> 00:20:57.900
 where their circuits

00:20:57.900 --> 00:20:58.740
 start to pop.

00:20:59.840 --> 00:21:00.700
 They're just like,

00:21:00.740 --> 00:21:01.960
 there's just so much

00:21:01.960 --> 00:21:03.440
 going on here.

00:21:04.120 --> 00:21:05.420
 Just as he told you.

00:21:06.779 --> 00:21:08.539
 I was thinking about this.

00:21:08.600 --> 00:21:08.860
 It's like,

00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:10.120
 how did the angel say that?

00:21:10.860 --> 00:21:11.580
 Did he was like,

00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:12.080
 okay,

00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:13.240
 he's gone before you

00:21:13.240 --> 00:21:14.100
 to Galilee.

00:21:14.919 --> 00:21:15.959
 There you'll see him

00:21:15.959 --> 00:21:17.099
 just as he told you.

00:21:17.379 --> 00:21:18.359
 Or was it like,

00:21:19.019 --> 00:21:21.240
 just as he told you.

00:21:21.819 --> 00:21:22.439
 Wink, wink.

00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:25.400
 he's referring to a passage

00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:27.600
 in Mark chapter 14.

00:21:29.400 --> 00:21:30.700
 In verse 26,

00:21:32.680 --> 00:21:33.840
 Jesus has just

00:21:33.840 --> 00:21:36.360
 instituted the Lord's Supper.

00:21:36.920 --> 00:21:37.680
 Verse 26,

00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:38.400
 they go out

00:21:38.400 --> 00:21:39.460
 into the Mount of Olives

00:21:39.460 --> 00:21:41.500
 after they've sung a hymn.

00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:42.980
 And verse 27,

00:21:43.160 --> 00:21:44.039
 Jesus said to them,

00:21:44.120 --> 00:21:45.500
 you will all fall away

00:21:45.500 --> 00:21:46.779
 for it is written,

00:21:47.220 --> 00:21:48.380
 I will strike the shepherd

00:21:48.380 --> 00:21:49.140
 and the sheep

00:21:49.140 --> 00:21:49.840
 will be scattered.

00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:53.220
 But after I am raised up,

00:21:54.159 --> 00:21:55.599
 I will go before you

00:21:55.599 --> 00:21:56.220
 to Galilee.

00:21:56.720 --> 00:21:58.159
 That's what the angel

00:21:58.159 --> 00:21:58.839
 is referencing.

00:21:59.500 --> 00:22:00.500
 Just as he told you.

00:22:01.500 --> 00:22:02.779
 Remember after the supper?

00:22:03.159 --> 00:22:04.480
 Just as he told you.

00:22:05.679 --> 00:22:07.259
 That he would be raised up

00:22:07.259 --> 00:22:08.199
 and that he would go

00:22:08.199 --> 00:22:08.879
 before you

00:22:08.879 --> 00:22:10.099
 to Galilee.

00:22:12.720 --> 00:22:13.579
 In that,

00:22:14.439 --> 00:22:16.480
 verses 26 through 30

00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:17.980
 in chapter 14,

00:22:17.980 --> 00:22:19.440
 Jesus makes a number

00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:19.980
 of statements

00:22:19.980 --> 00:22:20.819
 that come to pass.

00:22:21.180 --> 00:22:22.039
 In verse 27,

00:22:22.140 --> 00:22:23.160
 he tells his disciples

00:22:23.160 --> 00:22:23.799
 that they're all

00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:24.400
 going to fall away

00:22:24.400 --> 00:22:25.200
 from him.

00:22:25.500 --> 00:22:26.460
 And in verse 50

00:22:26.460 --> 00:22:27.259
 of chapter 14,

00:22:27.380 --> 00:22:28.299
 they all fall away

00:22:28.299 --> 00:22:28.720
 from him.

00:22:29.640 --> 00:22:31.440
 In verses 29 through 30,

00:22:31.579 --> 00:22:32.039
 Peter's like,

00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:32.539
 no,

00:22:32.700 --> 00:22:34.059
 I'll never fall away

00:22:34.059 --> 00:22:34.680
 from you.

00:22:35.099 --> 00:22:36.019
 And Jesus is like,

00:22:36.120 --> 00:22:36.400
 oh yeah,

00:22:36.460 --> 00:22:36.779
 you will.

00:22:36.860 --> 00:22:37.220
 In fact,

00:22:37.339 --> 00:22:38.259
 you'll fall away

00:22:38.259 --> 00:22:39.180
 three times.

00:22:39.240 --> 00:22:39.819
 You'll deny me

00:22:39.819 --> 00:22:40.740
 three times.

00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:41.920
 And that happens

00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:43.640
 in verses 66 through 72.

00:22:43.640 --> 00:22:46.180
 And in the midst

00:22:46.180 --> 00:22:47.720
 of all this abandoning

00:22:47.720 --> 00:22:49.100
 and denial of Jesus,

00:22:49.620 --> 00:22:51.840
 here is Jesus saying,

00:22:52.580 --> 00:22:53.480
 but I'll be raised up

00:22:53.480 --> 00:22:54.840
 and I'll go before you

00:22:54.840 --> 00:22:55.420
 to Galilee.

00:22:57.900 --> 00:22:59.820
 There's a plan unfolding here.

00:23:01.980 --> 00:23:03.320
 And I just want you

00:23:03.320 --> 00:23:04.220
 to notice that

00:23:04.220 --> 00:23:06.720
 what Jesus has said

00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:09.060
 about his own death

00:23:09.060 --> 00:23:10.100
 and resurrection

00:23:10.100 --> 00:23:12.820
 has now come to pass.

00:23:12.819 --> 00:23:14.079
 He has risen.

00:23:16.599 --> 00:23:18.099
 Three times earlier

00:23:18.099 --> 00:23:19.419
 in the gospel of Mark,

00:23:19.799 --> 00:23:21.859
 Jesus proclaims

00:23:21.859 --> 00:23:22.839
 his own death

00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:23.619
 and resurrection.

00:23:24.279 --> 00:23:25.079
 In chapter 8,

00:23:25.119 --> 00:23:25.779
 verse 31.

00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:27.339
 In chapter 9,

00:23:27.399 --> 00:23:28.519
 verses 30 through 32.

00:23:29.119 --> 00:23:30.079
 In chapter 10,

00:23:30.159 --> 00:23:31.879
 verses 33 through 34.

00:23:32.220 --> 00:23:33.779
 Jesus has been repeatedly

00:23:33.779 --> 00:23:35.059
 telling his disciples

00:23:35.059 --> 00:23:36.859
 that he would be handed over,

00:23:37.179 --> 00:23:38.559
 that he would be killed.

00:23:38.819 --> 00:23:41.619
 Then on the third day,

00:23:41.619 --> 00:23:43.079
 he would be raised

00:23:43.079 --> 00:23:44.000
 from the dead.

00:23:44.279 --> 00:23:45.739
 And that is why

00:23:45.739 --> 00:23:47.799
 Mark is very interested

00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:49.439
 in you knowing

00:23:49.439 --> 00:23:50.639
 what day it is.

00:23:51.319 --> 00:23:53.119
 It's the third day.

00:23:55.359 --> 00:23:56.279
 And Jesus

00:23:56.279 --> 00:23:58.019
 is no longer

00:23:58.019 --> 00:23:58.899
 in the tomb.

00:23:59.899 --> 00:24:01.179
 And this angel

00:24:01.179 --> 00:24:02.919
 is making a heavenly announcement.

00:24:03.939 --> 00:24:04.799
 He has risen.

00:24:04.799 --> 00:24:09.440
 So if you're putting it all together,

00:24:09.619 --> 00:24:10.919
 in the gospel of Mark alone,

00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:12.819
 Jesus prophesies

00:24:12.819 --> 00:24:14.379
 of his own resurrection

00:24:14.379 --> 00:24:15.619
 four times.

00:24:16.599 --> 00:24:17.639
 And it comes true.

00:24:20.639 --> 00:24:22.200
 And I think this is what finally

00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:23.859
 blows the circuits

00:24:23.859 --> 00:24:24.839
 for these three ladies.

00:24:25.079 --> 00:24:26.500
 Their heart rate

00:24:26.500 --> 00:24:28.639
 goes off the charts.

00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:30.159
 Inside the tomb,

00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:31.399
 these three women,

00:24:31.400 --> 00:24:32.200
 they're hearing

00:24:32.200 --> 00:24:33.680
 a heavenly explanation

00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:35.380
 of why

00:24:35.380 --> 00:24:36.540
 their dead

00:24:36.540 --> 00:24:37.840
 Lord

00:24:37.840 --> 00:24:39.380
 is not there.

00:24:39.540 --> 00:24:40.200
 He has

00:24:40.200 --> 00:24:41.460
 risen.

00:24:43.060 --> 00:24:44.000
 And it's all

00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:44.880
 according to plan.

00:24:46.080 --> 00:24:47.480
 Which now brings us

00:24:47.480 --> 00:24:48.019
 to the

00:24:48.019 --> 00:24:49.240
 third scene

00:24:49.240 --> 00:24:51.420
 in verse 8.

00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:53.440
 Outside

00:24:53.440 --> 00:24:54.200
 the tomb.

00:24:55.400 --> 00:24:56.120
 So these women

00:24:56.120 --> 00:24:57.200
 are completely overwhelmed.

00:24:57.200 --> 00:24:58.860
 as I think

00:24:58.860 --> 00:24:59.640
 you would be.

00:25:00.220 --> 00:25:01.360
 As I know

00:25:01.360 --> 00:25:02.140
 I would be.

00:25:03.100 --> 00:25:04.220
 Their expectations

00:25:04.220 --> 00:25:04.940
 have been

00:25:04.940 --> 00:25:05.539
 totally

00:25:05.539 --> 00:25:06.660
 upended.

00:25:06.840 --> 00:25:07.740
 They were expecting

00:25:07.740 --> 00:25:08.299
 to find

00:25:08.299 --> 00:25:09.039
 a dead body

00:25:09.039 --> 00:25:10.319
 and they find

00:25:10.319 --> 00:25:11.799
 nobody

00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:13.799
 an angel.

00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:19.799
 We read here

00:25:19.799 --> 00:25:20.360
 that they've been

00:25:20.360 --> 00:25:21.420
 seized by

00:25:21.420 --> 00:25:22.799
 trembling

00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:24.120
 and astonishment

00:25:24.120 --> 00:25:24.860
 which means

00:25:24.860 --> 00:25:25.420
 they're literally

00:25:25.420 --> 00:25:26.420
 shaking

00:25:26.420 --> 00:25:27.600
 and overwhelmed.

00:25:28.860 --> 00:25:29.400
 And Mark

00:25:29.400 --> 00:25:30.080
 closes

00:25:30.080 --> 00:25:31.320
 his gospel

00:25:31.320 --> 00:25:32.860
 with these words

00:25:32.860 --> 00:25:34.220
 for they

00:25:34.220 --> 00:25:35.120
 were afraid.

00:25:36.640 --> 00:25:37.539
 That's really

00:25:37.539 --> 00:25:38.019
 interesting.

00:25:40.100 --> 00:25:40.960
 The kind

00:25:40.960 --> 00:25:41.360
 of language

00:25:41.360 --> 00:25:42.080
 being used

00:25:42.080 --> 00:25:42.340
 here

00:25:42.340 --> 00:25:43.519
 describing

00:25:43.519 --> 00:25:44.279
 these three

00:25:44.279 --> 00:25:44.660
 women

00:25:44.660 --> 00:25:45.640
 fear

00:25:45.640 --> 00:25:46.539
 trembling

00:25:46.539 --> 00:25:47.560
 astonishment

00:25:47.560 --> 00:25:50.600
 is used

00:25:50.600 --> 00:25:51.160
 throughout

00:25:51.160 --> 00:25:51.680
 the Bible

00:25:51.680 --> 00:25:52.800
 when people

00:25:52.800 --> 00:25:53.680
 experience

00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:54.200
 a God

00:25:54.200 --> 00:25:54.560
 event.

00:25:55.420 --> 00:25:56.220
 They either

00:25:56.220 --> 00:25:56.660
 come into

00:25:56.660 --> 00:25:57.140
 the presence

00:25:57.140 --> 00:25:57.620
 of God

00:25:57.620 --> 00:25:58.820
 or they

00:25:58.820 --> 00:25:59.700
 experience

00:25:59.700 --> 00:26:00.660
 one of God's

00:26:00.660 --> 00:26:01.320
 messengers

00:26:01.320 --> 00:26:02.360
 one of his

00:26:02.360 --> 00:26:03.840
 angels.

00:26:04.840 --> 00:26:05.539
 We see this

00:26:05.539 --> 00:26:06.440
 with Joshua

00:26:06.440 --> 00:26:07.360
 we see it

00:26:07.360 --> 00:26:08.340
 take place

00:26:08.340 --> 00:26:09.000
 with Isaiah

00:26:09.000 --> 00:26:09.940
 and Ezekiel

00:26:09.940 --> 00:26:10.660
 Daniel

00:26:10.660 --> 00:26:11.900
 John the

00:26:11.900 --> 00:26:12.360
 disciple

00:26:12.360 --> 00:26:13.140
 who wrote

00:26:13.140 --> 00:26:13.880
 the book

00:26:13.880 --> 00:26:14.580
 of Revelation

00:26:14.580 --> 00:26:16.860
 in Revelation 1

00:26:16.860 --> 00:26:17.400
 there's this

00:26:17.400 --> 00:26:18.340
 incredible vision

00:26:18.340 --> 00:26:19.360
 of Jesus

00:26:19.360 --> 00:26:20.740
 and John

00:26:20.740 --> 00:26:21.380
 literally

00:26:21.380 --> 00:26:22.519
 falls down

00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:23.060
 before the

00:26:23.060 --> 00:26:23.519
 risen

00:26:23.519 --> 00:26:24.599
 reigning

00:26:24.599 --> 00:26:25.480
 and radiant

00:26:25.480 --> 00:26:26.160
 Christ

00:26:26.160 --> 00:26:27.980
 as a dead

00:26:27.980 --> 00:26:28.539
 man.

00:26:29.420 --> 00:26:29.900
 And just to be

00:26:29.900 --> 00:26:30.259
 truth in

00:26:30.259 --> 00:26:30.819
 advertising

00:26:30.819 --> 00:26:32.180
 just later

00:26:32.180 --> 00:26:32.660
 in the book

00:26:32.660 --> 00:26:33.259
 of Revelation

00:26:33.259 --> 00:26:34.259
 John the

00:26:34.259 --> 00:26:34.660
 disciple

00:26:34.660 --> 00:26:35.680
 falls down

00:26:35.680 --> 00:26:36.879
 before angels

00:26:36.879 --> 00:26:37.839
 in two places

00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:39.200
 chapter 19

00:26:39.200 --> 00:26:39.639
 and 22

00:26:39.639 --> 00:26:40.539
 and he starts

00:26:40.539 --> 00:26:40.980
 to worship

00:26:40.980 --> 00:26:41.299
 them

00:26:41.299 --> 00:26:42.160
 and the angels

00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:42.599
 is like

00:26:42.599 --> 00:26:43.220
 no no no

00:26:43.220 --> 00:26:44.059
 don't worship

00:26:44.059 --> 00:26:44.339
 me

00:26:44.339 --> 00:26:45.259
 worship God.

00:26:46.019 --> 00:26:46.799
 My point

00:26:46.799 --> 00:26:47.299
 though is

00:26:47.299 --> 00:26:48.799
 when you

00:26:48.799 --> 00:26:49.259
 come into

00:26:49.259 --> 00:26:49.940
 the presence

00:26:49.940 --> 00:26:51.180
 of God

00:26:51.180 --> 00:26:51.519
 or one

00:26:51.519 --> 00:26:51.779
 of his

00:26:51.779 --> 00:26:52.080
 angels

00:26:52.080 --> 00:26:52.460
 it's

00:26:52.460 --> 00:26:53.420
 overwhelming.

00:26:54.580 --> 00:26:55.019
 Peter

00:26:55.019 --> 00:26:55.420
 when he

00:26:55.420 --> 00:26:56.059
 saw Jesus

00:26:56.059 --> 00:26:56.860
 transfigured

00:26:56.860 --> 00:26:57.279
 do you

00:26:57.279 --> 00:26:57.480
 remember

00:26:57.480 --> 00:26:58.059
 he started

00:26:58.059 --> 00:26:58.940
 speaking

00:26:58.940 --> 00:27:00.700
 just nonsense

00:27:00.700 --> 00:27:01.120
 just

00:27:01.120 --> 00:27:02.720
 blabbering

00:27:02.720 --> 00:27:04.140
 because he's

00:27:04.140 --> 00:27:05.080
 so overwhelmed

00:27:05.080 --> 00:27:05.880
 by the glory

00:27:05.880 --> 00:27:06.400
 of Jesus.

00:27:07.660 --> 00:27:08.400
 So these

00:27:08.400 --> 00:27:08.860
 three women

00:27:08.860 --> 00:27:09.940
 are so

00:27:09.940 --> 00:27:10.759
 overwhelmed

00:27:10.759 --> 00:27:11.380
 in the

00:27:11.380 --> 00:27:11.799
 tomb

00:27:11.799 --> 00:27:13.180
 their circuits

00:27:13.180 --> 00:27:14.320
 are cooked

00:27:14.320 --> 00:27:15.460
 their heart

00:27:15.460 --> 00:27:15.720
 beats

00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:16.279
 through the

00:27:16.279 --> 00:27:17.400
 roof

00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:18.160
 everything

00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:18.800
 that they're

00:27:18.800 --> 00:27:19.200
 hearing

00:27:19.200 --> 00:27:19.680
 is like

00:27:19.680 --> 00:27:20.019
 this

00:27:20.019 --> 00:27:20.860
 can't

00:27:20.860 --> 00:27:21.280
 be

00:27:21.280 --> 00:27:21.580
 true

00:27:21.580 --> 00:27:21.820
 but

00:27:21.820 --> 00:27:22.080
 it

00:27:22.080 --> 00:27:22.480
 is

00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:23.060
 true

00:27:23.060 --> 00:27:23.920
 he said

00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:24.259
 all

00:27:24.259 --> 00:27:24.740
 this

00:27:24.740 --> 00:27:27.220
 and so

00:27:27.220 --> 00:27:27.680
 they start

00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:28.120
 like I gotta

00:27:28.120 --> 00:27:28.460
 get out

00:27:28.460 --> 00:27:28.700
 of here

00:27:28.700 --> 00:27:29.720
 I gotta

00:27:29.720 --> 00:27:30.080
 catch my

00:27:30.080 --> 00:27:30.380
 breath

00:27:30.380 --> 00:27:31.400
 I don't

00:27:31.400 --> 00:27:31.600
 know if

00:27:31.600 --> 00:27:31.720
 they're

00:27:31.720 --> 00:27:32.320
 hyperventilating

00:27:32.320 --> 00:27:32.660
 or not

00:27:32.660 --> 00:27:33.259
 I'm not

00:27:33.259 --> 00:27:33.460
 sure if

00:27:33.460 --> 00:27:33.560
 they're

00:27:33.560 --> 00:27:33.820
 asking

00:27:33.820 --> 00:27:34.240
 for paper

00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:34.640
 bags

00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:34.980
 we can

00:27:34.980 --> 00:27:35.200
 breathe

00:27:35.200 --> 00:27:35.460
 into

00:27:35.460 --> 00:27:35.620
 them

00:27:35.620 --> 00:27:35.860
 and catch

00:27:35.860 --> 00:27:35.980
 our

00:27:35.980 --> 00:27:36.280
 breath

00:27:36.280 --> 00:27:36.880
 collect

00:27:36.880 --> 00:27:37.140
 our

00:27:37.140 --> 00:27:37.620
 minds

00:27:37.620 --> 00:27:39.180
 but they

00:27:39.180 --> 00:27:39.580
 run

00:27:39.580 --> 00:27:39.960
 out

00:27:39.960 --> 00:27:40.220
 of the

00:27:40.220 --> 00:27:40.700
 tomb

00:27:40.700 --> 00:27:43.960
 the

00:27:43.960 --> 00:27:44.460
 resurrection

00:27:44.460 --> 00:27:44.980
 of Jesus

00:27:44.980 --> 00:27:45.600
 Christ

00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:47.839
 should

00:27:47.839 --> 00:27:48.779
 overwhelm

00:27:48.779 --> 00:27:49.019
 you

00:27:49.019 --> 00:27:52.359
 not only

00:27:52.359 --> 00:27:52.539
 are we

00:27:52.539 --> 00:27:52.799
 talking

00:27:52.799 --> 00:27:53.199
 about

00:27:53.199 --> 00:27:55.259
 this

00:27:55.259 --> 00:27:56.799
 defiance

00:27:56.799 --> 00:27:57.219
 of a

00:27:57.219 --> 00:27:58.579
 naturalistic

00:27:58.579 --> 00:27:59.119
 explanation

00:27:59.119 --> 00:28:00.159
 of how

00:28:00.159 --> 00:28:00.419
 things

00:28:00.419 --> 00:28:00.799
 happened

00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:01.159
 I mean

00:28:01.159 --> 00:28:01.799
 dead

00:28:01.799 --> 00:28:02.159
 people are

00:28:02.159 --> 00:28:02.519
 supposed to

00:28:02.519 --> 00:28:02.719
 say

00:28:02.719 --> 00:28:03.179
 dead

00:28:03.179 --> 00:28:07.899
 what's

00:28:07.899 --> 00:28:08.480
 going on

00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:08.740
 here

00:28:08.740 --> 00:28:09.139
 is

00:28:09.139 --> 00:28:10.459
 that

00:28:10.459 --> 00:28:11.299
 we're

00:28:11.299 --> 00:28:11.559
 learning

00:28:11.559 --> 00:28:11.759
 that

00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:12.500
 Christ's

00:28:12.500 --> 00:28:12.759
 death

00:28:12.759 --> 00:28:13.079
 and

00:28:13.079 --> 00:28:13.659
 resurrection

00:28:13.659 --> 00:28:15.219
 this

00:28:15.220 --> 00:28:15.519
 isn't

00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:15.720
 some

00:28:15.720 --> 00:28:15.920
 kind

00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:16.039
 of

00:28:16.039 --> 00:28:16.319
 freak

00:28:16.319 --> 00:28:16.839
 accident

00:28:16.839 --> 00:28:17.299
 or

00:28:17.299 --> 00:28:17.839
 random

00:28:17.839 --> 00:28:18.559
 event

00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:19.120
 this

00:28:19.120 --> 00:28:19.339
 is

00:28:19.339 --> 00:28:19.680
 all

00:28:19.680 --> 00:28:20.200
 according

00:28:20.200 --> 00:28:20.440
 to

00:28:20.440 --> 00:28:20.980
 plan

00:28:20.980 --> 00:28:22.920
 God's

00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:23.279
 plan

00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:25.059
 God's

00:28:25.059 --> 00:28:25.339
 plan

00:28:25.339 --> 00:28:25.620
 to

00:28:25.620 --> 00:28:26.720
 save

00:28:26.720 --> 00:28:27.440
 sinners

00:28:27.440 --> 00:28:31.100
 did you

00:28:31.100 --> 00:28:31.400
 notice

00:28:31.400 --> 00:28:31.759
 that

00:28:31.759 --> 00:28:32.160
 these

00:28:32.160 --> 00:28:32.799
 three

00:28:32.799 --> 00:28:34.420
 women

00:28:34.420 --> 00:28:34.980
 were

00:28:34.980 --> 00:28:36.740
 eyewitnesses

00:28:36.740 --> 00:28:37.100
 to

00:28:37.100 --> 00:28:38.299
 Christ's

00:28:38.299 --> 00:28:39.059
 crucifixion

00:28:39.059 --> 00:28:39.579
 two of

00:28:39.579 --> 00:28:40.019
 the three

00:28:40.019 --> 00:28:40.400
 were

00:28:40.400 --> 00:28:41.440
 eyewitnesses

00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:41.740
 to

00:28:41.740 --> 00:28:42.900
 the

00:28:42.900 --> 00:28:44.259
 place

00:28:44.259 --> 00:28:44.440
 where

00:28:44.440 --> 00:28:44.559
 he

00:28:44.559 --> 00:28:44.740
 was

00:28:44.740 --> 00:28:45.059
 buried

00:28:45.059 --> 00:28:45.680
 and

00:28:45.680 --> 00:28:46.359
 all

00:28:46.359 --> 00:28:46.880
 three

00:28:46.880 --> 00:28:47.700
 were

00:28:47.700 --> 00:28:47.980
 now

00:28:47.980 --> 00:28:49.000
 eyewitnesses

00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:49.440
 to the

00:28:49.440 --> 00:28:49.779
 empty

00:28:49.779 --> 00:28:50.319
 tomb

00:28:50.319 --> 00:28:51.140
 they were

00:28:51.140 --> 00:28:51.920
 the first

00:28:51.920 --> 00:28:53.200
 to hear

00:28:53.200 --> 00:28:54.259
 that Jesus

00:28:54.259 --> 00:28:54.839
 has been

00:28:54.839 --> 00:28:55.339
 raised

00:28:55.339 --> 00:28:55.839
 he has

00:28:55.839 --> 00:28:56.400
 risen

00:28:56.400 --> 00:28:58.039
 they're

00:28:58.039 --> 00:28:59.240
 the first

00:28:59.240 --> 00:29:01.539
 and

00:29:01.539 --> 00:29:02.140
 now

00:29:02.140 --> 00:29:02.500
 they're

00:29:02.500 --> 00:29:02.900
 in

00:29:02.900 --> 00:29:03.839
 stunned

00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:04.839
 silence

00:29:04.839 --> 00:29:05.539
 coming out

00:29:05.539 --> 00:29:05.759
 of the

00:29:05.759 --> 00:29:06.120
 tomb

00:29:06.120 --> 00:29:07.720
 speechless

00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:08.819
 dumbstruck

00:29:08.819 --> 00:29:10.419
 they say

00:29:10.419 --> 00:29:11.519
 nothing

00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:11.819
 to

00:29:11.819 --> 00:29:12.379
 anyone

00:29:12.379 --> 00:29:15.960
 these

00:29:15.960 --> 00:29:16.200
 three

00:29:16.200 --> 00:29:16.579
 women

00:29:16.579 --> 00:29:19.240
 stunned

00:29:19.240 --> 00:29:19.960
 silent

00:29:19.960 --> 00:29:23.099
 collecting

00:29:23.099 --> 00:29:23.659
 themselves

00:29:23.659 --> 00:29:24.480
 outside

00:29:24.480 --> 00:29:24.819
 of the

00:29:24.819 --> 00:29:25.059
 tomb

00:29:25.059 --> 00:29:25.339
 maybe

00:29:25.339 --> 00:29:25.539
 they're

00:29:25.539 --> 00:29:25.720
 doing

00:29:25.720 --> 00:29:26.179
 controlled

00:29:26.179 --> 00:29:26.639
 breathing

00:29:26.639 --> 00:29:32.859
 they all

00:29:32.859 --> 00:29:33.059
 come to

00:29:33.059 --> 00:29:33.279
 the same

00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:33.720
 conclusion

00:29:33.720 --> 00:29:38.660
 Jesus

00:29:38.660 --> 00:29:38.880
 is

00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:39.220
 alive

00:29:39.220 --> 00:29:43.039
 his

00:29:43.039 --> 00:29:43.579
 resurrection

00:29:43.579 --> 00:29:44.180
 dramatically

00:29:44.180 --> 00:29:44.759
 changes

00:29:44.759 --> 00:29:45.299
 everything

00:29:45.299 --> 00:29:48.299
 there's

00:29:48.299 --> 00:29:48.440
 no

00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:48.660
 going

00:29:48.660 --> 00:29:49.059
 back

00:29:49.059 --> 00:29:50.380
 there's

00:29:50.380 --> 00:29:50.660
 no

00:29:50.660 --> 00:29:51.319
 putting

00:29:51.319 --> 00:29:51.660
 Jesus

00:29:51.660 --> 00:29:52.000
 back

00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:52.120
 in

00:29:52.120 --> 00:29:52.220
 the

00:29:52.220 --> 00:29:52.440
 tomb

00:29:52.440 --> 00:29:57.480
 they

00:29:57.480 --> 00:29:57.660
 were

00:29:57.660 --> 00:29:58.160
 silent

00:29:58.160 --> 00:29:58.740
 but

00:29:58.740 --> 00:29:58.980
 they

00:29:58.980 --> 00:29:59.360
 certainly

00:29:59.360 --> 00:29:59.660
 did

00:29:59.660 --> 00:29:59.880
 not

00:29:59.880 --> 00:30:00.339
 remain

00:30:00.339 --> 00:30:00.880
 silent

00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:02.279
 the

00:30:02.279 --> 00:30:02.500
 other

00:30:02.500 --> 00:30:03.180
 gospels

00:30:03.180 --> 00:30:04.500
 show us

00:30:04.500 --> 00:30:04.860
 that they

00:30:04.860 --> 00:30:05.019
 did

00:30:05.019 --> 00:30:05.440
 exactly

00:30:05.440 --> 00:30:05.840
 what

00:30:05.840 --> 00:30:06.279
 this

00:30:06.279 --> 00:30:06.640
 angel

00:30:06.640 --> 00:30:07.039
 told

00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:07.180
 them

00:30:07.180 --> 00:30:07.320
 to

00:30:07.320 --> 00:30:07.500
 do

00:30:07.500 --> 00:30:07.720
 they

00:30:07.720 --> 00:30:07.980
 went

00:30:07.980 --> 00:30:08.160
 and

00:30:08.160 --> 00:30:08.340
 told

00:30:08.340 --> 00:30:08.519
 the

00:30:08.519 --> 00:30:08.759
 other

00:30:08.759 --> 00:30:09.340
 disciples

00:30:09.340 --> 00:30:11.200
 which

00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:11.600
 makes

00:30:11.600 --> 00:30:12.160
 them

00:30:12.160 --> 00:30:12.680
 these

00:30:12.680 --> 00:30:12.920
 three

00:30:12.920 --> 00:30:13.240
 women

00:30:13.240 --> 00:30:13.940
 the

00:30:13.940 --> 00:30:14.480
 first

00:30:14.480 --> 00:30:15.120
 humans

00:30:15.120 --> 00:30:15.920
 to

00:30:15.920 --> 00:30:16.539
 announce

00:30:16.539 --> 00:30:17.080
 the

00:30:17.080 --> 00:30:17.380
 good

00:30:17.380 --> 00:30:17.900
 news

00:30:17.900 --> 00:30:18.420
 that

00:30:18.420 --> 00:30:18.620
 not

00:30:18.620 --> 00:30:18.799
 only

00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:19.140
 Jesus

00:30:19.140 --> 00:30:19.840
 died

00:30:19.840 --> 00:30:20.140
 but

00:30:20.140 --> 00:30:20.480
 that

00:30:20.480 --> 00:30:20.759
 he

00:30:20.759 --> 00:30:21.200
 has

00:30:21.200 --> 00:30:21.880
 risen

00:30:21.880 --> 00:30:22.279
 from

00:30:22.279 --> 00:30:22.480
 the

00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:22.799
 dead

00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:24.240
 it's

00:30:24.240 --> 00:30:24.700
 extraordinary

00:30:24.700 --> 00:30:27.500
 three

00:30:27.500 --> 00:30:27.960
 scenes

00:30:27.960 --> 00:30:30.560
 these

00:30:30.560 --> 00:30:30.799
 three

00:30:30.799 --> 00:30:31.060
 women

00:30:31.060 --> 00:30:31.519
 approaching

00:30:31.519 --> 00:30:31.740
 the

00:30:31.740 --> 00:30:32.100
 tomb

00:30:32.099 --> 00:30:33.240
 these

00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:33.459
 three

00:30:33.459 --> 00:30:33.759
 women

00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:35.099
 inside

00:30:35.099 --> 00:30:35.319
 the

00:30:35.319 --> 00:30:35.759
 tomb

00:30:35.759 --> 00:30:36.099
 and

00:30:36.099 --> 00:30:36.339
 these

00:30:36.339 --> 00:30:36.599
 three

00:30:36.599 --> 00:30:36.980
 women

00:30:36.980 --> 00:30:38.740
 outside

00:30:38.740 --> 00:30:39.480
 the

00:30:39.480 --> 00:30:39.859
 tomb

00:30:39.859 --> 00:30:40.159
 and

00:30:40.159 --> 00:30:40.299
 they're

00:30:40.299 --> 00:30:40.500
 all

00:30:40.500 --> 00:30:40.799
 making

00:30:40.799 --> 00:30:41.199
 one

00:30:41.199 --> 00:30:41.679
 point

00:30:41.679 --> 00:30:45.579
 he

00:30:45.579 --> 00:30:45.779
 has

00:30:45.779 --> 00:30:46.099
 risen

00:30:46.099 --> 00:30:49.500
 he

00:30:49.500 --> 00:30:49.980
 has

00:30:49.980 --> 00:30:50.839
 risen

00:30:50.839 --> 00:30:51.879
 heaven's

00:30:51.879 --> 00:30:52.459
 exclamation

00:30:52.459 --> 00:30:53.179
 explanation

00:30:53.179 --> 00:30:54.399
 for the

00:30:54.399 --> 00:30:55.219
 empty

00:30:55.219 --> 00:30:55.899
 tomb

00:30:55.899 --> 00:30:57.839
 he

00:30:57.839 --> 00:30:57.980
 is

00:30:57.980 --> 00:30:58.259
 risen

00:30:58.259 --> 00:30:58.919
 Jesus

00:30:58.919 --> 00:30:59.139
 is

00:30:59.139 --> 00:30:59.559
 alive

00:30:59.559 --> 00:31:00.099
 it

00:31:00.099 --> 00:31:00.480
 changes

00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:01.120
 everything

00:31:01.120 --> 00:31:01.759
 no

00:31:01.759 --> 00:31:02.059
 going

00:31:02.059 --> 00:31:02.460
 back

00:31:02.460 --> 00:31:03.940
 we

00:31:03.940 --> 00:31:04.160
 are

00:31:04.160 --> 00:31:04.620
 all

00:31:04.620 --> 00:31:05.140
 outside

00:31:05.140 --> 00:31:05.680
 of

00:31:05.680 --> 00:31:05.839
 the

00:31:05.839 --> 00:31:06.180
 tomb

00:31:06.180 --> 00:31:06.799
 2000

00:31:06.799 --> 00:31:07.460
 years

00:31:07.460 --> 00:31:08.259
 outside

00:31:08.259 --> 00:31:08.599
 of

00:31:08.599 --> 00:31:08.720
 the

00:31:08.720 --> 00:31:08.960
 tomb

00:31:08.960 --> 00:31:09.420
 but

00:31:09.420 --> 00:31:09.579
 if

00:31:09.579 --> 00:31:09.880
 this

00:31:09.880 --> 00:31:10.079
 is

00:31:10.079 --> 00:31:10.519
 true

00:31:10.519 --> 00:31:11.400
 that

00:31:11.400 --> 00:31:11.620
 means

00:31:11.620 --> 00:31:12.039
 Jesus

00:31:12.039 --> 00:31:12.559
 is

00:31:12.559 --> 00:31:13.180
 alive

00:31:13.180 --> 00:31:13.759
 today

00:31:13.759 --> 00:31:15.299
 how

00:31:15.299 --> 00:31:15.480
 are you

00:31:15.480 --> 00:31:15.620
 going to

00:31:15.620 --> 00:31:15.759
 make

00:31:15.759 --> 00:31:16.240
 sense

00:31:16.240 --> 00:31:16.900
 of

00:31:16.900 --> 00:31:17.180
 this

00:31:17.180 --> 00:31:17.660
 empty

00:31:17.660 --> 00:31:17.960
 tomb

00:31:17.960 --> 00:31:19.740
 maybe

00:31:19.740 --> 00:31:19.940
 you

00:31:19.940 --> 00:31:20.120
 see

00:31:20.120 --> 00:31:20.299
 the

00:31:20.299 --> 00:31:20.559
 death

00:31:20.559 --> 00:31:21.079
 and

00:31:21.079 --> 00:31:21.519
 resurrection

00:31:21.519 --> 00:31:21.779
 of

00:31:21.779 --> 00:31:22.039
 Jesus

00:31:22.039 --> 00:31:22.299
 and

00:31:22.299 --> 00:31:22.440
 you're

00:31:22.440 --> 00:31:22.599
 like

00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:22.799
 I'm

00:31:22.799 --> 00:31:22.960
 not

00:31:22.960 --> 00:31:23.120
 sure

00:31:23.120 --> 00:31:23.299
 what

00:31:23.299 --> 00:31:23.420
 to

00:31:23.420 --> 00:31:23.579
 think

00:31:23.579 --> 00:31:23.819
 about

00:31:23.819 --> 00:31:23.960
 it

00:31:23.960 --> 00:31:24.339
 well

00:31:24.339 --> 00:31:24.720
 first

00:31:24.720 --> 00:31:24.940
 of

00:31:24.940 --> 00:31:25.059
 all

00:31:25.059 --> 00:31:25.180
 you

00:31:25.180 --> 00:31:25.319
 need

00:31:25.319 --> 00:31:25.460
 to

00:31:25.460 --> 00:31:25.940
 realize

00:31:25.940 --> 00:31:26.400
 that

00:31:26.400 --> 00:31:26.559
 the

00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:26.799
 whole

00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:27.220
 Christian

00:31:27.220 --> 00:31:27.640
 faith

00:31:27.640 --> 00:31:28.120
 is

00:31:28.120 --> 00:31:28.440
 based

00:31:28.440 --> 00:31:28.740
 upon

00:31:28.740 --> 00:31:29.320
 Christ's

00:31:29.320 --> 00:31:29.520
 death

00:31:29.520 --> 00:31:29.680
 and

00:31:29.680 --> 00:31:30.000
 resurrection

00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:30.860
 as a

00:31:30.860 --> 00:31:31.900
 historic

00:31:31.900 --> 00:31:33.000
 reality

00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:34.460
 that it

00:31:34.460 --> 00:31:34.960
 actually

00:31:34.960 --> 00:31:35.520
 happened

00:31:35.520 --> 00:31:36.700
 it's not

00:31:36.700 --> 00:31:37.480
 a pipe

00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:37.960
 dream

00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:40.820
 and because

00:31:40.820 --> 00:31:41.240
 of that

00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:42.259
 this is the

00:31:42.259 --> 00:31:42.740
 claim of

00:31:42.740 --> 00:31:42.900
 it

00:31:42.900 --> 00:31:43.940
 Christ's

00:31:43.940 --> 00:31:44.480
 Jesus's

00:31:44.480 --> 00:31:44.960
 death

00:31:44.960 --> 00:31:46.480
 paid

00:31:46.480 --> 00:31:47.200
 all

00:31:47.200 --> 00:31:48.160
 of the

00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:48.500
 sin

00:31:48.500 --> 00:31:49.000
 all

00:31:49.000 --> 00:31:49.500
 of God

00:31:49.500 --> 00:31:49.920
 for all

00:31:49.920 --> 00:31:50.360
 of God's

00:31:50.360 --> 00:31:50.600
 wrath

00:31:50.600 --> 00:31:51.160
 for all

00:31:51.160 --> 00:31:51.480
 of our

00:31:51.480 --> 00:31:51.780
 sin

00:31:51.780 --> 00:31:52.060
 it's

00:31:52.060 --> 00:31:52.700
 if you're

00:31:52.700 --> 00:31:53.000
 here on

00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:53.280
 Friday

00:31:53.280 --> 00:31:53.700
 it's the

00:31:53.700 --> 00:31:54.600
 tearing

00:31:54.600 --> 00:31:55.140
 of the

00:31:55.140 --> 00:31:55.440
 curtain

00:31:55.440 --> 00:31:56.140
 from top

00:31:56.140 --> 00:31:56.600
 to bottom

00:31:56.599 --> 00:31:57.559
 he made

00:31:57.559 --> 00:31:58.099
 a way

00:31:58.099 --> 00:31:58.419
 through

00:31:58.419 --> 00:31:58.679
 his

00:31:58.679 --> 00:31:59.019
 death

00:31:59.019 --> 00:31:59.240
 into

00:31:59.240 --> 00:31:59.619
 God's

00:31:59.619 --> 00:32:00.039
 presence

00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:00.659
 and

00:32:00.659 --> 00:32:01.679
 this

00:32:01.679 --> 00:32:02.339
 fact

00:32:02.339 --> 00:32:02.519
 that

00:32:02.519 --> 00:32:02.699
 he

00:32:02.699 --> 00:32:02.919
 is

00:32:02.919 --> 00:32:03.500
 risen

00:32:03.500 --> 00:32:05.699
 means

00:32:05.699 --> 00:32:05.980
 that

00:32:05.980 --> 00:32:06.139
 he

00:32:06.139 --> 00:32:06.359
 has

00:32:06.359 --> 00:32:06.919
 conquered

00:32:06.919 --> 00:32:07.419
 both

00:32:07.419 --> 00:32:08.059
 sin

00:32:08.059 --> 00:32:08.699
 and

00:32:08.699 --> 00:32:08.899
 the

00:32:08.899 --> 00:32:09.459
 grave

00:32:09.459 --> 00:32:14.119
 there's

00:32:14.119 --> 00:32:14.659
 a song

00:32:14.659 --> 00:32:15.119
 called

00:32:15.119 --> 00:32:15.679
 crown him

00:32:15.679 --> 00:32:16.059
 with many

00:32:16.059 --> 00:32:17.179
 crowns

00:32:17.179 --> 00:32:19.159
 listen

00:32:19.159 --> 00:32:19.519
 to this

00:32:19.519 --> 00:32:19.899
 verse

00:32:19.899 --> 00:32:21.740
 crown him

00:32:21.740 --> 00:32:22.079
 the Lord

00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:22.659
 of life

00:32:22.659 --> 00:32:24.839
 who triumphed

00:32:24.839 --> 00:32:25.939
 over the

00:32:25.939 --> 00:32:26.439
 grave

00:32:26.440 --> 00:32:27.460
 and rose

00:32:27.460 --> 00:32:28.019
 victorious

00:32:28.019 --> 00:32:28.700
 in the

00:32:28.700 --> 00:32:29.080
 strife

00:32:29.080 --> 00:32:29.539
 for those

00:32:29.539 --> 00:32:29.940
 he came

00:32:29.940 --> 00:32:30.640
 to save

00:32:30.640 --> 00:32:32.960
 his

00:32:32.960 --> 00:32:33.340
 glories

00:32:33.340 --> 00:32:33.840
 now we

00:32:33.840 --> 00:32:34.259
 sing

00:32:34.259 --> 00:32:35.600
 who died

00:32:35.600 --> 00:32:36.180
 and rose

00:32:36.180 --> 00:32:36.840
 on high

00:32:36.840 --> 00:32:38.340
 who died

00:32:38.340 --> 00:32:39.380
 eternal life

00:32:39.380 --> 00:32:40.080
 to bring

00:32:40.080 --> 00:32:41.580
 and lives

00:32:41.580 --> 00:32:42.900
 that death

00:32:42.900 --> 00:32:44.440
 may die

00:32:44.440 --> 00:32:46.920
 the death

00:32:46.920 --> 00:32:47.400
 and resurrection

00:32:47.400 --> 00:32:48.140
 of Jesus

00:32:48.140 --> 00:32:48.640
 Christ

00:32:48.640 --> 00:32:49.840
 is God's

00:32:49.840 --> 00:32:50.460
 power

00:32:50.460 --> 00:32:52.400
 for sinners

00:32:52.400 --> 00:32:53.519
 to have

00:32:53.519 --> 00:32:54.200
 their sins

00:32:54.200 --> 00:32:54.640
 forgiven

00:32:54.640 --> 00:32:55.740
 and then

00:32:55.740 --> 00:32:56.800
 to overcome

00:32:56.800 --> 00:32:57.780
 the power

00:32:57.780 --> 00:32:58.480
 of sin

00:32:58.480 --> 00:32:59.360
 and have

00:32:59.360 --> 00:32:59.860
 hope

00:32:59.860 --> 00:33:00.920
 in the face

00:33:00.920 --> 00:33:01.940
 of death

00:33:01.940 --> 00:33:02.640
 it is

00:33:02.640 --> 00:33:03.620
 an extraordinary

00:33:03.620 --> 00:33:04.380
 event

00:33:04.380 --> 00:33:06.380
 so when you

00:33:06.380 --> 00:33:06.880
 believe in

00:33:06.880 --> 00:33:07.140
 Jesus

00:33:07.140 --> 00:33:08.480
 you believe

00:33:08.480 --> 00:33:08.800
 that he's

00:33:08.800 --> 00:33:09.240
 God in the

00:33:09.240 --> 00:33:09.560
 flesh

00:33:09.560 --> 00:33:10.240
 that he

00:33:10.240 --> 00:33:10.759
 died on the

00:33:10.759 --> 00:33:11.060
 cross

00:33:11.060 --> 00:33:11.360
 that he

00:33:11.360 --> 00:33:11.860
 was raised

00:33:11.860 --> 00:33:12.220
 from the

00:33:12.220 --> 00:33:12.500
 dead

00:33:12.500 --> 00:33:13.920
 what you're

00:33:13.920 --> 00:33:14.220
 saying

00:33:14.220 --> 00:33:14.840
 is

00:33:14.840 --> 00:33:15.660
 I have been

00:33:15.660 --> 00:33:16.100
 united

00:33:16.100 --> 00:33:17.320
 to Christ

00:33:17.320 --> 00:33:18.160
 in his

00:33:18.160 --> 00:33:18.440
 death

00:33:18.440 --> 00:33:19.080
 and resurrection

00:33:19.079 --> 00:33:20.519
 and so all

00:33:20.519 --> 00:33:21.279
 of his

00:33:21.279 --> 00:33:22.579
 death benefits

00:33:22.579 --> 00:33:23.279
 are applied

00:33:23.279 --> 00:33:23.759
 to me

00:33:23.759 --> 00:33:24.259
 all of

00:33:24.259 --> 00:33:25.559
 my sin

00:33:25.559 --> 00:33:25.960
 has been

00:33:25.960 --> 00:33:26.379
 paid for

00:33:26.379 --> 00:33:27.159
 by Christ

00:33:27.159 --> 00:33:27.839
 and his

00:33:27.839 --> 00:33:28.359
 resurrection

00:33:28.359 --> 00:33:29.099
 now means

00:33:29.099 --> 00:33:30.119
 I have

00:33:30.119 --> 00:33:30.879
 power to

00:33:30.879 --> 00:33:31.539
 say no

00:33:31.539 --> 00:33:32.099
 to sin

00:33:32.099 --> 00:33:33.879
 and now

00:33:33.879 --> 00:33:35.279
 because Jesus

00:33:35.279 --> 00:33:35.559
 has been

00:33:35.559 --> 00:33:36.139
 raised from

00:33:36.139 --> 00:33:36.519
 the dead

00:33:36.519 --> 00:33:39.220
 I can be

00:33:39.220 --> 00:33:39.679
 confident

00:33:39.679 --> 00:33:40.559
 that I

00:33:40.559 --> 00:33:40.899
 will be

00:33:40.899 --> 00:33:41.359
 raised from

00:33:41.359 --> 00:33:41.720
 the dead

00:33:41.720 --> 00:33:43.779
 death

00:33:43.779 --> 00:33:44.379
 doesn't have

00:33:44.379 --> 00:33:44.859
 the final

00:33:44.859 --> 00:33:45.259
 say

00:33:45.259 --> 00:33:48.799
 once you

00:33:48.799 --> 00:33:49.259
 believe that

00:33:49.259 --> 00:33:50.039
 Jesus is

00:33:50.039 --> 00:33:50.500
 God

00:33:50.500 --> 00:33:51.740
 in the

00:33:51.740 --> 00:33:52.079
 flesh

00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:52.599
 who died

00:33:52.599 --> 00:33:52.960
 and was

00:33:52.960 --> 00:33:53.299
 raised

00:33:53.299 --> 00:33:53.859
 for you

00:33:53.859 --> 00:33:55.319
 you start

00:33:55.319 --> 00:33:55.859
 thinking like

00:33:55.859 --> 00:33:56.259
 this

00:33:56.259 --> 00:33:58.259
 he was

00:33:58.259 --> 00:33:58.839
 risen then

00:33:58.839 --> 00:34:00.879
 he's alive

00:34:00.879 --> 00:34:01.299
 today

00:34:01.299 --> 00:34:02.819
 it changes

00:34:02.819 --> 00:34:03.220
 everything

00:34:03.220 --> 00:34:03.619
 now

00:34:03.619 --> 00:34:06.420
 there's no

00:34:06.420 --> 00:34:06.980
 going back

00:34:06.980 --> 00:34:09.519
 we live

00:34:09.519 --> 00:34:10.159
 for Christ

00:34:10.159 --> 00:34:12.739
 that's

00:34:12.739 --> 00:34:13.239
 that's

00:34:13.239 --> 00:34:13.940
 the response

00:34:13.940 --> 00:34:15.519
 this is

00:34:15.519 --> 00:34:16.000
 this is

00:34:16.000 --> 00:34:16.880
 so amazing

00:34:16.880 --> 00:34:19.139
 so how

00:34:19.139 --> 00:34:19.559
 are you

00:34:19.559 --> 00:34:20.840
 making sense

00:34:20.840 --> 00:34:21.119
 of the

00:34:21.119 --> 00:34:21.639
 empty tomb

00:34:21.639 --> 00:34:24.599
 maybe you

00:34:24.599 --> 00:34:25.000
 came in

00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:25.440
 thinking dead

00:34:25.440 --> 00:34:25.900
 people stay

00:34:25.900 --> 00:34:26.139
 dead

00:34:26.139 --> 00:34:26.340
 if

00:34:26.340 --> 00:34:27.039
 if Jesus

00:34:27.039 --> 00:34:27.539
 was raised

00:34:27.539 --> 00:34:27.840
 from the

00:34:27.840 --> 00:34:28.039
 dead

00:34:28.039 --> 00:34:28.220
 you're

00:34:28.220 --> 00:34:28.460
 thinking

00:34:28.460 --> 00:34:28.659
 then

00:34:28.659 --> 00:34:28.980
 well that

00:34:28.980 --> 00:34:30.119
 defies

00:34:30.119 --> 00:34:31.380
 a naturalistic

00:34:31.380 --> 00:34:32.099
 explanation

00:34:32.099 --> 00:34:33.920
 doesn't really

00:34:33.920 --> 00:34:34.460
 make sense

00:34:34.460 --> 00:34:34.760
 and you

00:34:34.760 --> 00:34:35.340
 are right

00:34:35.340 --> 00:34:37.820
 the resurrection

00:34:37.820 --> 00:34:39.099
 cannot be

00:34:39.099 --> 00:34:39.900
 explained

00:34:39.900 --> 00:34:41.420
 naturalistically

00:34:41.420 --> 00:34:43.179
 because it

00:34:43.179 --> 00:34:44.659
 is supernatural

00:34:44.659 --> 00:34:46.359
 that's the

00:34:46.359 --> 00:34:46.679
 Christian

00:34:46.679 --> 00:34:47.179
 claim

00:34:47.179 --> 00:34:49.279
 he has

00:34:49.279 --> 00:34:49.739
 risen

00:34:49.739 --> 00:34:53.299
 maybe you

00:34:53.299 --> 00:34:54.059
 came into

00:34:54.059 --> 00:34:54.679
 the room

00:34:54.679 --> 00:34:55.000
 thinking

00:34:55.000 --> 00:34:55.879
 I don't

00:34:55.879 --> 00:34:56.819
 I don't

00:34:56.819 --> 00:34:57.119
 want to

00:34:57.119 --> 00:34:57.500
 change

00:34:57.500 --> 00:34:58.919
 I've

00:34:58.919 --> 00:34:59.559
 heard this

00:34:59.559 --> 00:35:00.440
 old old

00:35:00.440 --> 00:35:01.119
 story many

00:35:01.119 --> 00:35:01.679
 a time

00:35:01.679 --> 00:35:02.919
 Jesus died

00:35:02.919 --> 00:35:03.319
 and was

00:35:03.319 --> 00:35:03.819
 raised

00:35:03.819 --> 00:35:04.500
 I think

00:35:04.500 --> 00:35:05.079
 it's true

00:35:05.079 --> 00:35:06.119
 but you

00:35:06.119 --> 00:35:06.299
 know

00:35:06.299 --> 00:35:07.519
 I don't

00:35:07.519 --> 00:35:07.719
 want to

00:35:07.719 --> 00:35:08.119
 submit my

00:35:08.119 --> 00:35:08.460
 life to

00:35:08.460 --> 00:35:08.679
 him

00:35:08.679 --> 00:35:10.559
 I just

00:35:10.559 --> 00:35:10.779
 want to

00:35:10.779 --> 00:35:11.079
 keep on

00:35:11.079 --> 00:35:11.399
 living for

00:35:11.399 --> 00:35:11.659
 what I'm

00:35:11.659 --> 00:35:12.159
 living for

00:35:12.159 --> 00:35:16.159
 do you

00:35:16.159 --> 00:35:16.519
 realize

00:35:16.519 --> 00:35:17.440
 what you're

00:35:17.440 --> 00:35:17.739
 choosing

00:35:17.739 --> 00:35:21.399
 you're

00:35:21.399 --> 00:35:21.699
 choosing

00:35:21.699 --> 00:35:22.519
 temporary

00:35:22.519 --> 00:35:23.899
 empty

00:35:23.899 --> 00:35:25.339
 pleasures

00:35:25.339 --> 00:35:26.699
 distractions

00:35:26.699 --> 00:35:27.940
 disobedience

00:35:27.940 --> 00:35:29.579
 over the

00:35:29.579 --> 00:35:30.599
 eternal joy

00:35:30.599 --> 00:35:32.099
 of having

00:35:32.099 --> 00:35:33.019
 a relationship

00:35:33.019 --> 00:35:33.480
 with the

00:35:33.480 --> 00:35:34.039
 living God

00:35:34.039 --> 00:35:35.779
 that's what

00:35:35.779 --> 00:35:36.199
 you're choosing

00:35:36.199 --> 00:35:37.460
 one of the

00:35:37.460 --> 00:35:37.839
 things that

00:35:37.839 --> 00:35:38.420
 people don't

00:35:38.420 --> 00:35:39.019
 hear from

00:35:39.019 --> 00:35:39.359
 Christians

00:35:39.360 --> 00:35:40.500
 is the

00:35:40.500 --> 00:35:41.820
 joy of

00:35:41.820 --> 00:35:42.240
 being a

00:35:42.240 --> 00:35:42.680
 follower

00:35:42.680 --> 00:35:43.559
 of Jesus

00:35:43.559 --> 00:35:44.440
 I would

00:35:44.440 --> 00:35:45.820
 never go

00:35:45.820 --> 00:35:46.880
 back to

00:35:46.880 --> 00:35:47.400
 what I was

00:35:47.400 --> 00:35:47.820
 before

00:35:47.820 --> 00:35:48.599
 never

00:35:48.599 --> 00:35:50.300
 never

00:35:50.300 --> 00:35:52.460
 now I

00:35:52.460 --> 00:35:53.240
 experience the

00:35:53.240 --> 00:35:53.700
 joy

00:35:53.700 --> 00:35:54.599
 daily

00:35:54.599 --> 00:35:56.240
 of knowing

00:35:56.240 --> 00:35:57.599
 my Lord

00:35:57.599 --> 00:35:58.640
 and knowing

00:35:58.640 --> 00:35:59.180
 he knows

00:35:59.180 --> 00:35:59.720
 me

00:35:59.719 --> 00:36:04.219
 if you

00:36:04.219 --> 00:36:04.919
 are choosing

00:36:04.919 --> 00:36:05.799
 sin

00:36:05.799 --> 00:36:06.480
 over

00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:07.199
 Christ

00:36:07.199 --> 00:36:08.439
 beware

00:36:08.439 --> 00:36:09.459
 you're

00:36:09.459 --> 00:36:09.799
 actually

00:36:09.799 --> 00:36:10.239
 choosing

00:36:10.239 --> 00:36:10.659
 God's

00:36:10.659 --> 00:36:11.159
 wrath

00:36:11.159 --> 00:36:14.279
 and it's

00:36:14.279 --> 00:36:14.659
 all because

00:36:14.659 --> 00:36:14.959
 you don't

00:36:14.959 --> 00:36:15.179
 want to

00:36:15.179 --> 00:36:15.519
 give up

00:36:15.519 --> 00:36:16.000
 your sin

00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:16.559
 under this

00:36:16.559 --> 00:36:16.859
 false

00:36:16.859 --> 00:36:17.679
 pretense

00:36:17.679 --> 00:36:19.879
 that your

00:36:19.879 --> 00:36:20.279
 sin is

00:36:20.279 --> 00:36:20.739
 better than

00:36:20.739 --> 00:36:21.079
 following

00:36:21.079 --> 00:36:21.459
 Jesus

00:36:21.459 --> 00:36:23.259
 it's not

00:36:23.259 --> 00:36:25.639
 maybe you're

00:36:25.639 --> 00:36:25.859
 in the

00:36:25.859 --> 00:36:26.579
 room and

00:36:26.579 --> 00:36:27.500
 there was a

00:36:27.500 --> 00:36:28.019
 moment where

00:36:28.019 --> 00:36:28.939
 you professed

00:36:28.940 --> 00:36:29.420
 faith in

00:36:29.420 --> 00:36:30.139
 Jesus Christ

00:36:30.139 --> 00:36:30.400
 and you

00:36:30.400 --> 00:36:30.659
 started

00:36:30.659 --> 00:36:31.119
 following

00:36:31.119 --> 00:36:31.500
 him

00:36:31.500 --> 00:36:32.500
 but you're

00:36:32.500 --> 00:36:32.679
 just

00:36:32.679 --> 00:36:33.079
 miserable

00:36:33.079 --> 00:36:33.460
 now

00:36:33.460 --> 00:36:35.300
 and you're

00:36:35.300 --> 00:36:35.559
 miserable

00:36:35.559 --> 00:36:36.539
 because you've

00:36:36.539 --> 00:36:36.960
 been hiding

00:36:36.960 --> 00:36:37.320
 out

00:36:37.320 --> 00:36:39.639
 you've been

00:36:39.639 --> 00:36:40.400
 hiding because

00:36:40.400 --> 00:36:41.460
 of either

00:36:41.460 --> 00:36:42.440
 sin in your

00:36:42.440 --> 00:36:43.300
 life or you've

00:36:43.300 --> 00:36:43.840
 been deeply

00:36:43.840 --> 00:36:44.800
 hurt by other

00:36:44.800 --> 00:36:45.240
 Christians

00:36:45.240 --> 00:36:47.240
 so you've been

00:36:47.240 --> 00:36:47.840
 avoiding other

00:36:47.840 --> 00:36:48.280
 Christians

00:36:48.280 --> 00:36:51.059
 you might even

00:36:51.059 --> 00:36:51.639
 be bored with

00:36:51.639 --> 00:36:52.039
 Jesus

00:36:52.039 --> 00:36:55.800
 well I just

00:36:55.800 --> 00:36:56.420
 want to remind

00:36:56.420 --> 00:36:56.700
 you

00:36:56.699 --> 00:36:58.899
 that if you

00:36:58.899 --> 00:36:59.779
 genuinely believed

00:36:59.779 --> 00:37:00.179
 in Jesus

00:37:00.179 --> 00:37:00.739
 that means

00:37:00.739 --> 00:37:01.159
 you've been

00:37:01.159 --> 00:37:02.639
 united to

00:37:02.639 --> 00:37:04.000
 Christ in

00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:04.619
 his death

00:37:04.619 --> 00:37:05.519
 and resurrection

00:37:05.519 --> 00:37:07.439
 he has

00:37:07.439 --> 00:37:07.799
 risen

00:37:07.799 --> 00:37:09.699
 and because

00:37:09.699 --> 00:37:10.379
 he has

00:37:10.379 --> 00:37:10.759
 risen

00:37:10.759 --> 00:37:12.239
 it means

00:37:12.239 --> 00:37:12.939
 that these

00:37:12.939 --> 00:37:14.159
 things that

00:37:14.159 --> 00:37:15.059
 you've allowed

00:37:15.059 --> 00:37:15.519
 into your

00:37:15.519 --> 00:37:16.359
 life or

00:37:16.359 --> 00:37:16.839
 these things

00:37:16.839 --> 00:37:17.139
 that have

00:37:17.139 --> 00:37:17.859
 deeply wounded

00:37:17.859 --> 00:37:18.259
 you

00:37:18.259 --> 00:37:19.139
 they are

00:37:19.139 --> 00:37:20.379
 they can be

00:37:20.379 --> 00:37:21.239
 overcome by

00:37:21.239 --> 00:37:22.219
 the power of

00:37:22.219 --> 00:37:22.859
 the resurrection

00:37:22.860 --> 00:37:25.500
 by the power

00:37:25.500 --> 00:37:26.240
 of God's

00:37:26.240 --> 00:37:26.720
 grace

00:37:26.720 --> 00:37:29.559
 sin does

00:37:29.559 --> 00:37:30.099
 not need to

00:37:30.099 --> 00:37:30.660
 have a hold

00:37:30.660 --> 00:37:31.099
 on you

00:37:31.099 --> 00:37:31.519
 Christian

00:37:31.519 --> 00:37:33.480
 you can

00:37:33.480 --> 00:37:34.180
 experience

00:37:34.180 --> 00:37:35.180
 joy

00:37:35.180 --> 00:37:37.140
 and I call

00:37:37.140 --> 00:37:37.640
 it the joy

00:37:37.640 --> 00:37:38.280
 of integrity

00:37:38.280 --> 00:37:40.120
 the joy of

00:37:40.120 --> 00:37:40.800
 integrity is

00:37:40.800 --> 00:37:41.140
 this

00:37:41.140 --> 00:37:41.980
 when your

00:37:41.980 --> 00:37:42.440
 public

00:37:42.440 --> 00:37:43.240
 profession

00:37:43.240 --> 00:37:44.099
 of faith

00:37:44.099 --> 00:37:44.760
 in Jesus

00:37:44.760 --> 00:37:46.500
 overlaps

00:37:46.500 --> 00:37:47.120
 fully

00:37:47.120 --> 00:37:47.940
 with your

00:37:47.940 --> 00:37:48.860
 private life

00:37:48.860 --> 00:37:50.460
 when there

00:37:50.460 --> 00:37:51.200
 is that

00:37:51.200 --> 00:37:51.760
 kind of

00:37:51.760 --> 00:37:52.400
 overlap

00:37:52.400 --> 00:37:53.200
 there is

00:37:53.200 --> 00:37:53.940
 integrity

00:37:53.940 --> 00:37:55.360
 unity

00:37:55.360 --> 00:37:56.820
 and joy

00:37:56.820 --> 00:37:57.820
 but when

00:37:57.820 --> 00:37:58.280
 there is

00:37:58.280 --> 00:37:58.980
 a gap

00:37:58.980 --> 00:37:59.680
 between

00:37:59.680 --> 00:38:00.559
 one's

00:38:00.559 --> 00:38:01.059
 profession

00:38:01.059 --> 00:38:02.160
 and one's

00:38:02.160 --> 00:38:02.740
 practice

00:38:02.740 --> 00:38:03.940
 it is

00:38:03.940 --> 00:38:06.079
 disintegrity

00:38:06.079 --> 00:38:07.800
 disintegrated

00:38:07.800 --> 00:38:09.740
 and that

00:38:09.740 --> 00:38:10.240
 is a very

00:38:10.240 --> 00:38:11.000
 difficult place

00:38:11.000 --> 00:38:11.460
 to live

00:38:11.460 --> 00:38:12.680
 it makes

00:38:12.680 --> 00:38:13.180
 Christians

00:38:13.180 --> 00:38:13.740
 miserable

00:38:13.740 --> 00:38:14.740
 he has

00:38:14.740 --> 00:38:15.139
 risen

00:38:15.139 --> 00:38:16.840
 turn your

00:38:16.840 --> 00:38:17.579
 heart back

00:38:17.579 --> 00:38:17.980
 to the

00:38:17.980 --> 00:38:18.260
 Savior

00:38:18.260 --> 00:38:20.860
 and if

00:38:20.860 --> 00:38:21.139
 you've been

00:38:21.139 --> 00:38:21.579
 running hard

00:38:21.579 --> 00:38:22.160
 for Jesus

00:38:22.159 --> 00:38:24.099
 you've been

00:38:24.099 --> 00:38:24.819
 sacrificing

00:38:24.819 --> 00:38:25.319
 you've been

00:38:25.319 --> 00:38:25.899
 suffering

00:38:25.899 --> 00:38:27.879
 he is

00:38:27.879 --> 00:38:28.279
 risen

00:38:28.279 --> 00:38:30.420
 your labor

00:38:30.420 --> 00:38:31.119
 is not in

00:38:31.119 --> 00:38:31.359
 vain

00:38:31.359 --> 00:38:32.359
 press on

00:38:32.359 --> 00:38:34.339
 he is risen

00:38:34.339 --> 00:38:35.879
 he is alive

00:38:35.879 --> 00:38:36.759
 it changes

00:38:36.759 --> 00:38:37.359
 everything

00:38:37.359 --> 00:38:38.460
 there's no

00:38:38.460 --> 00:38:39.199
 going back

00:38:39.199 --> 00:38:40.000
 live

00:38:40.000 --> 00:38:40.739
 for

00:38:40.739 --> 00:38:41.539
 him

00:38:41.539 --> 00:38:43.440
 in closing

00:38:43.440 --> 00:38:43.899
 I just

00:38:43.899 --> 00:38:47.699
 want to help

00:38:47.699 --> 00:38:48.019
 you think

00:38:48.019 --> 00:38:48.639
 about something

00:38:48.639 --> 00:38:51.940
 all of

00:38:51.940 --> 00:38:52.440
 Christianity

00:38:52.440 --> 00:38:53.079
 rises

00:38:53.079 --> 00:38:54.639
 or falls

00:38:54.639 --> 00:38:55.440
 on the

00:38:55.440 --> 00:38:56.000
 historic

00:38:56.000 --> 00:38:56.659
 bodily

00:38:56.659 --> 00:38:57.379
 resurrection

00:38:57.379 --> 00:38:58.179
 of Jesus

00:38:58.179 --> 00:38:58.679
 Christ

00:38:58.679 --> 00:38:59.619
 I mean

00:38:59.619 --> 00:38:59.960
 that's the

00:38:59.960 --> 00:39:00.379
 point of

00:39:00.379 --> 00:39:01.339
 Mark 16

00:39:01.339 --> 00:39:02.179
 1-6

00:39:02.179 --> 00:39:02.859
 he has

00:39:02.859 --> 00:39:03.239
 risen

00:39:03.239 --> 00:39:06.139
 if Jesus

00:39:06.139 --> 00:39:06.699
 was not

00:39:06.699 --> 00:39:07.219
 raised

00:39:07.219 --> 00:39:09.799
 he's dead

00:39:09.799 --> 00:39:13.319
 his own

00:39:13.319 --> 00:39:13.959
 words

00:39:13.959 --> 00:39:14.479
 proved

00:39:14.479 --> 00:39:15.019
 false

00:39:15.019 --> 00:39:17.359
 his death

00:39:17.359 --> 00:39:18.079
 accomplished

00:39:18.079 --> 00:39:18.779
 nothing

00:39:18.779 --> 00:39:19.839
 no saving

00:39:19.839 --> 00:39:20.359
 benefits

00:39:20.359 --> 00:39:22.039
 his promise

00:39:22.039 --> 00:39:22.500
 of eternal

00:39:22.500 --> 00:39:23.419
 life is

00:39:23.419 --> 00:39:24.319
 actually void

00:39:24.319 --> 00:39:24.699
 now

00:39:24.699 --> 00:39:28.619
 he was a

00:39:28.619 --> 00:39:29.039
 false

00:39:29.039 --> 00:39:29.919
 savior

00:39:29.920 --> 00:39:31.500
 and if

00:39:31.500 --> 00:39:31.960
 that's the

00:39:31.960 --> 00:39:32.320
 case

00:39:32.320 --> 00:39:32.940
 I'll be

00:39:32.940 --> 00:39:33.539
 first in

00:39:33.539 --> 00:39:33.920
 line to

00:39:33.920 --> 00:39:34.240
 say

00:39:34.240 --> 00:39:35.240
 Christianity

00:39:35.240 --> 00:39:36.139
 is a

00:39:36.139 --> 00:39:36.500
 waste

00:39:36.500 --> 00:39:37.240
 of time

00:39:37.240 --> 00:39:38.320
 kick it

00:39:38.320 --> 00:39:38.599
 to the

00:39:38.599 --> 00:39:38.920
 curb

00:39:38.920 --> 00:39:41.220
 but if

00:39:41.220 --> 00:39:41.460
 Jesus

00:39:41.460 --> 00:39:42.380
 was raised

00:39:42.380 --> 00:39:42.760
 from the

00:39:42.760 --> 00:39:42.980
 dead

00:39:42.980 --> 00:39:45.139
 he's

00:39:45.139 --> 00:39:45.700
 alive

00:39:45.700 --> 00:39:48.260
 his

00:39:48.260 --> 00:39:48.920
 words

00:39:48.920 --> 00:39:49.720
 proved

00:39:49.720 --> 00:39:50.280
 true

00:39:50.280 --> 00:39:53.320
 his

00:39:53.320 --> 00:39:53.760
 death

00:39:53.760 --> 00:39:54.680
 really

00:39:54.680 --> 00:39:55.059
 paid

00:39:55.059 --> 00:39:55.559
 for our

00:39:55.559 --> 00:39:56.000
 sins

00:39:56.000 --> 00:39:58.559
 his

00:39:58.559 --> 00:39:59.559
 resurrection

00:39:59.559 --> 00:40:00.299
 is the

00:40:00.299 --> 00:40:00.539
 hope

00:40:00.539 --> 00:40:01.400
 of our

00:40:01.400 --> 00:40:02.159
 resurrection

00:40:02.159 --> 00:40:05.239
 he's

00:40:05.239 --> 00:40:05.820
 the one

00:40:05.820 --> 00:40:06.739
 true

00:40:06.739 --> 00:40:07.599
 savior

00:40:07.599 --> 00:40:08.320
 of the

00:40:08.320 --> 00:40:08.759
 world

00:40:08.759 --> 00:40:09.699
 and that

00:40:09.699 --> 00:40:10.159
 means

00:40:10.159 --> 00:40:11.159
 Jesus

00:40:11.159 --> 00:40:12.679
 is worth

00:40:12.679 --> 00:40:13.940
 your

00:40:13.940 --> 00:40:15.239
 life

00:40:15.239 --> 00:40:18.779
 today

00:40:18.779 --> 00:40:19.960
 on this

00:40:19.960 --> 00:40:20.360
 Easter

00:40:20.360 --> 00:40:20.860
 Sunday

00:40:20.860 --> 00:40:22.699
 I want

00:40:22.699 --> 00:40:23.159
 to compel

00:40:23.159 --> 00:40:23.440
 you to

00:40:23.440 --> 00:40:23.739
 make a

00:40:23.739 --> 00:40:24.099
 decision

00:40:24.099 --> 00:40:27.380
 to choose

00:40:27.380 --> 00:40:29.619
 to

00:40:29.619 --> 00:40:30.420
 decide

00:40:30.420 --> 00:40:32.880
 make a

00:40:32.880 --> 00:40:33.360
 decision

00:40:33.360 --> 00:40:34.500
 and live

00:40:34.500 --> 00:40:35.099
 in light

00:40:35.099 --> 00:40:35.440
 of it

00:40:35.440 --> 00:40:36.420
 with God's

00:40:36.420 --> 00:40:36.700
 help

00:40:36.700 --> 00:40:37.320
 either

00:40:37.320 --> 00:40:37.760
 Jesus

00:40:37.760 --> 00:40:38.800
 was raised

00:40:38.800 --> 00:40:39.160
 from the

00:40:39.160 --> 00:40:39.460
 dead

00:40:39.460 --> 00:40:40.200
 or he

00:40:40.200 --> 00:40:40.840
 was

00:40:40.840 --> 00:40:41.619
 not

00:40:41.619 --> 00:40:43.539
 choose

00:40:43.539 --> 00:40:45.320
 give

00:40:45.320 --> 00:40:45.760
 yourself

00:40:45.760 --> 00:40:46.280
 to it

00:40:46.280 --> 00:40:47.860
 he's

00:40:47.860 --> 00:40:48.200
 risen

00:40:48.200 --> 00:40:49.680
 he's

00:40:49.680 --> 00:40:50.220
 alive

00:40:50.220 --> 00:40:51.180
 it

00:40:51.180 --> 00:40:51.519
 changes

00:40:51.519 --> 00:40:52.180
 everything

00:40:52.179 --> 00:40:53.779
 there's

00:40:53.779 --> 00:40:54.000
 no

00:40:54.000 --> 00:40:54.259
 going

00:40:54.259 --> 00:40:54.639
 back

00:40:54.639 --> 00:40:56.879
 so

00:40:56.879 --> 00:40:57.059
 we

00:40:57.059 --> 00:40:57.299
 live

00:40:57.299 --> 00:40:57.500
 for

00:40:57.500 --> 00:40:57.980
 Jesus

00:40:57.980 --> 00:40:59.539
 in the

00:40:59.539 --> 00:40:59.839
 joy

00:40:59.839 --> 00:41:00.099
 of the

00:41:00.099 --> 00:41:00.659
 resurrection

00:41:00.659 --> 00:41:02.279
 will you

00:41:02.279 --> 00:41:02.440
 pray

00:41:02.440 --> 00:41:03.119
 with me

00:41:03.119 --> 00:41:08.919
 Lord

00:41:08.919 --> 00:41:09.219
 Jesus

00:41:09.219 --> 00:41:09.799
 thank you

00:41:09.799 --> 00:41:10.339
 so much

00:41:10.339 --> 00:41:11.059
 for not

00:41:11.059 --> 00:41:11.599
 only dying

00:41:11.599 --> 00:41:12.139
 for our

00:41:12.139 --> 00:41:12.539
 sins

00:41:12.539 --> 00:41:12.980
 but

 being

00:41:15.460 --> 00:41:15.819
 laid

 and being

00:41:17.039 --> 00:41:17.559

00:42:08.680 --> 00:42:09.340
 closer to
