WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:11.339
 Amen. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Lamb of God for sinners slain. Jesus Christ, we praise your name. Amen.

00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:18.039
! We've been walking through the account of Jesus' death this evening from the Gospel of John.

00:00:18.039 --> 00:00:26.060
 And I just want to circle back to just one verse that we've already read this evening from John 19, verse 30.

00:00:26.059 --> 00:00:33.859
 If you'd like to open up in your own Bibles or the Pew Bibles there in front of you, you can find our passage there in John 19, verse 30.

00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:40.399
 And I just want to ask one question this evening tonight, which is, what makes Good Friday good?

00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:47.899
 Why do we call the death of our God good?

00:00:47.899 --> 00:00:56.179
 Growing up in my house, every Sunday there was a battle over who got to read the Sunday funnies first.

00:00:56.339 --> 00:00:59.239
 And that was what we called the comic section in my house.

00:00:59.339 --> 00:01:02.259
 I had to wrestle with three sisters, some one of four.

00:01:02.780 --> 00:01:05.400
 And we would take turns reading a page.

00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:06.980
 We'd tear that paper apart.

00:01:07.060 --> 00:01:07.799
 I'd have a page.

00:01:07.859 --> 00:01:08.900
 My sister would have a page.

00:01:08.980 --> 00:01:10.039
 My sister would have a page.

00:01:10.099 --> 00:01:11.239
 My sister would have a page.

00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:15.799
 And we'd work an assembly line rotation until all of the comics had been read.

00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:25.699
 And just about every Good Friday, a comic called BC comes to mind, written by a guy named Johnny Hart.

00:01:25.839 --> 00:01:28.039
 I believe he's no longer with us now.

00:01:28.099 --> 00:01:30.579
 His grandson is now writing the comics.

00:01:31.340 --> 00:01:38.359
 But he wrote a comic called BC that featured a bunch of cavemen and prehistoric animals,

00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:40.980
 really wrestling with a lot of life's hardest questions.

00:01:42.019 --> 00:01:49.120
 And oftentimes around Good Friday, Easter, Christmas time, they would kind of put a Christian twist onto the comic.

00:01:49.780 --> 00:01:56.780
 And the comic that I'm thinking of featured one caveman sitting on a hill looking out into the open,

00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:58.379
 out into the sky.

00:01:58.500 --> 00:02:02.840
 And he said, I really don't understand why they call it Good Friday.

00:02:02.960 --> 00:02:03.539
 In fact, you know what?

00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:05.000
 I hate the term Good Friday.

00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:08.939
 This caveman friend was standing behind him.

00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:11.120
 And he said, well, what do you mean?

00:02:12.620 --> 00:02:17.240
 The man answered and he said, well, they hanged my Lord on a tree that day.

00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:22.360
 Of course, that's a natural way to think of Good Friday.

00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:27.400
 If that's all that you understand that happened on Good Friday is that Jesus died on a tree,

00:02:27.500 --> 00:02:29.259
 then of course it's not very good, is it?

00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:32.259
 It's a bad, bad Friday.

00:02:32.259 --> 00:02:35.939
 And so the other thinks for a minute and then he responds,

00:02:36.379 --> 00:02:42.259
 if you were going to be hanged on the tree that day and someone offered to take your place,

00:02:42.519 --> 00:02:44.120
 how would you feel?

00:02:45.459 --> 00:02:48.899
 The answer, of course, is good.

00:02:48.900 --> 00:02:55.140
 This evening as we reflect tonight on the death of Christ,

00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:58.280
 the songs that we've sung, the scriptures that we've read,

00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:01.640
 the topic that we're considering tonight with the death of Jesus on the cross,

00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:03.120
 it's somber.

00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:05.480
 It's sad.

00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:06.379
 It's heavy.

00:03:07.420 --> 00:03:11.460
 I read this week and today, as I'm sure many of you did this week,

00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:14.060
 I read about the death of Christ.

00:03:14.060 --> 00:03:19.759
 We've read about his humiliation, being mocked and ridiculed,

00:03:20.659 --> 00:03:25.560
 slapped and spat upon, a crown of thorns placed upon his head.

00:03:25.640 --> 00:03:29.280
 We've read and we've heard about his pain and his suffering,

00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:32.819
 nails in each hand hung upon the cross,

00:03:33.620 --> 00:03:37.420
 excruciating physical pain, spiritual anguish.

00:03:37.419 --> 00:03:41.000
 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?

00:03:42.179 --> 00:03:46.259
 And then we've read ultimately about his death.

00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:52.060
 And no doubt the events of this day are very sad and very heavy,

00:03:52.179 --> 00:03:56.000
 but I do hope that tonight we can also see that this sacrifice,

00:03:56.619 --> 00:03:59.019
 the death of Jesus Christ on the cross,

00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:03.739
 is very, very good for sinners like us.

00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:04.119
 Amen?

00:04:04.119 --> 00:04:04.259
 Amen.

00:04:04.259 --> 00:04:04.340
 Amen.

00:04:06.340 --> 00:04:10.679
 Our passage this evening gives us the final words of Jesus Christ

00:04:10.679 --> 00:04:12.799
 before his death on the cross.

00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:14.500
 Of course, these aren't his final words.

00:04:14.620 --> 00:04:16.719
 The resurrection is right around the corner.

00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:19.240
 He will live and he will speak again.

00:04:19.379 --> 00:04:21.379
 He lives and he speaks today.

00:04:21.980 --> 00:04:25.120
 But here in John 19 verse 30,

00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:30.420
 we see his final words before he bows his head and gives up his spirit

00:04:30.420 --> 00:04:32.259
 and enters into death.

00:04:32.259 --> 00:04:33.459
 And what does he say?

00:04:33.539 --> 00:04:34.620
 John 19 verse 30.

00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:35.680
 Look there with me.

00:04:37.659 --> 00:04:39.819
 When Jesus had received the sour wine,

00:04:39.939 --> 00:04:40.539
 he said,

00:04:41.599 --> 00:04:43.920
 it is finished.

00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:46.379
 And he bowed his head

00:04:46.379 --> 00:04:49.379
 and gave up his spirit.

00:04:49.379 --> 00:04:53.420
 It is finished.

00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:55.939
 It's three words.

00:04:56.300 --> 00:04:58.060
 Just one word in the original,

00:04:58.279 --> 00:04:59.159
 tetelestai.

00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:05.659
 It's a beautiful summary of what makes Good Friday so good for those who believe.

00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:12.800
 And so what we need to do tonight is we need to understand exactly what is finished at the cross of Christ.

00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:14.920
 For one thing,

00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:15.620
 for Jesus,

00:05:15.980 --> 00:05:16.840
 it is finished,

00:05:17.220 --> 00:05:20.579
 is the completion of a perfect life.

00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:22.160
 See,

00:05:22.220 --> 00:05:22.860
 on the cross,

00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:24.240
 hanging there on the cross,

00:05:24.340 --> 00:05:25.860
 is no ordinary man.

00:05:25.960 --> 00:05:29.060
 This is the perfect son of God.

00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:31.780
 He died beside two thieves,

00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:32.139
 yes,

00:05:32.220 --> 00:05:33.960
 besides two guilty criminals,

00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:36.199
 but he himself was no thief.

00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:39.799
 He himself was completely innocent.

00:05:39.979 --> 00:05:41.659
 This is the perfect son of God

00:05:41.659 --> 00:05:43.680
 who came in total obedience

00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:45.560
 to an eternal plan of God

00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:46.899
 for the salvation of sinners.

00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:49.979
 And for 33 years,

00:05:50.099 --> 00:05:51.579
 he lived an entire life

00:05:51.579 --> 00:05:53.159
 of total obedience

00:05:53.159 --> 00:05:54.319
 to the Father.

00:05:54.939 --> 00:05:56.560
 Complete submission.

00:05:57.639 --> 00:05:58.899
 Perfect obedience

00:05:58.899 --> 00:06:00.359
 and perfect resistance

00:06:00.359 --> 00:06:02.060
 to every temptation.

00:06:02.299 --> 00:06:03.199
 The author of Hebrews,

00:06:03.779 --> 00:06:04.739
 it tells us that

00:06:04.739 --> 00:06:05.799
 he was tempted

00:06:05.799 --> 00:06:06.579
 and tried

00:06:06.579 --> 00:06:08.019
 in every way

00:06:08.019 --> 00:06:08.959
 as we are

00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:10.459
 yet without

00:06:10.459 --> 00:06:11.560
 sin.

00:06:12.599 --> 00:06:13.359
 So now,

00:06:13.459 --> 00:06:14.459
 because he himself

00:06:14.459 --> 00:06:15.139
 has suffered

00:06:15.139 --> 00:06:15.779
 when tempted,

00:06:15.979 --> 00:06:17.179
 now he is able

00:06:17.179 --> 00:06:18.179
 to help those

00:06:18.179 --> 00:06:19.299
 who are being tempted.

00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:21.779
 As Jesus hangs

00:06:21.779 --> 00:06:22.679
 on the cross,

00:06:22.759 --> 00:06:23.979
 as he hangs his head

00:06:23.979 --> 00:06:25.339
 and gives up his spirit,

00:06:25.459 --> 00:06:26.539
 he's bringing an end

00:06:26.540 --> 00:06:29.200
 to a totally perfect life,

00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:29.920
 which means

00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:30.900
 it is finished

00:06:30.900 --> 00:06:31.480
 for Jesus.

00:06:32.420 --> 00:06:33.319
 This is the completion

00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:35.720
 of a perfect sacrifice.

00:06:37.280 --> 00:06:38.720
 The sacrificial system

00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:39.520
 of the Old Testament,

00:06:39.700 --> 00:06:40.900
 if you know your Bible,

00:06:41.080 --> 00:06:41.460
 you know that

00:06:41.460 --> 00:06:42.720
 the sacrificial system

00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:43.580
 in the Old Testament

00:06:43.580 --> 00:06:45.480
 required the slaughter

00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:46.439
 of animals

00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:47.700
 to pay for the sins

00:06:47.700 --> 00:06:48.439
 of the people.

00:06:48.980 --> 00:06:49.680
 And all of this

00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:51.540
 was a very bloody system.

00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:53.400
 And it temporarily

00:06:53.400 --> 00:06:55.100
 paid for the sins

00:06:55.100 --> 00:06:55.660
 of the people.

00:06:55.660 --> 00:06:57.560
 It required a spotless,

00:06:57.980 --> 00:06:59.240
 perfect lamb

00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:00.480
 without blemish.

00:07:00.580 --> 00:07:01.740
 And their shed blood

00:07:01.740 --> 00:07:02.880
 covered the sins

00:07:02.880 --> 00:07:03.660
 of the people.

00:07:03.740 --> 00:07:04.720
 But now we see

00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:05.800
 in the death of Christ,

00:07:06.200 --> 00:07:07.200
 all of this

00:07:07.200 --> 00:07:08.540
 was just a temporary

00:07:08.540 --> 00:07:09.480
 pointer

00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:10.460
 to something

00:07:10.460 --> 00:07:11.840
 that's more real

00:07:11.840 --> 00:07:13.040
 and more lasting

00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:14.300
 and more effective

00:07:14.300 --> 00:07:15.480
 and more permanent

00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:16.660
 and more efficient

00:07:16.660 --> 00:07:17.760
 for the cleansing

00:07:17.760 --> 00:07:18.360
 of sin.

00:07:19.900 --> 00:07:21.040
 Jesus Christ

00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:22.240
 on the cross

00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:24.000
 is the perfect

00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:24.720
 sacrifice

00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:26.079
 for sinners.

00:07:26.379 --> 00:07:28.040
 Jesus is the Lamb

00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:28.639
 of God

00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:30.120
 who takes away

00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:30.879
 the sins

00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:32.360
 of the world.

00:07:32.660 --> 00:07:33.000
 Here,

00:07:33.779 --> 00:07:34.779
 Jesus is

00:07:34.779 --> 00:07:35.819
 blameless,

00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:37.160
 perfect,

00:07:38.259 --> 00:07:38.680
 innocent,

00:07:38.939 --> 00:07:40.339
 and He is slaughtered

00:07:40.339 --> 00:07:41.540
 as a sacrifice

00:07:41.540 --> 00:07:43.100
 in the place

00:07:43.100 --> 00:07:44.060
 of sinners.

00:07:44.740 --> 00:07:45.860
 His blood

00:07:45.860 --> 00:07:46.639
 covers

00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:47.959
 our sins.

00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:48.860
 Praise God.

00:07:48.860 --> 00:07:48.920
 God,

00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:52.080
 which means

00:07:52.080 --> 00:07:52.980
 it is finished,

00:07:54.180 --> 00:07:55.379
 is the completion

00:07:55.379 --> 00:07:56.879
 of a perfect

00:07:56.879 --> 00:07:57.939
 plan.

00:07:59.540 --> 00:08:00.520
 Jesus' death

00:08:00.520 --> 00:08:01.680
 is no accident.

00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:03.520
 It is not

00:08:03.520 --> 00:08:04.840
 a tragic event,

00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:06.100
 a tragic accident

00:08:06.100 --> 00:08:07.600
 of human history.

00:08:08.100 --> 00:08:09.100
 This death

00:08:09.100 --> 00:08:09.980
 was the plan

00:08:09.980 --> 00:08:10.500
 of God

00:08:10.500 --> 00:08:11.259
 from before

00:08:11.259 --> 00:08:12.520
 the ages began.

00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:14.799
 God determined

00:08:14.799 --> 00:08:15.560
 to send

00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:16.779
 His own Son

00:08:16.779 --> 00:08:17.859
 as the perfect

00:08:17.859 --> 00:08:18.459
 sacrifice

00:08:18.459 --> 00:08:19.699
 for sinners.

00:08:20.919 --> 00:08:21.299
 We're told

00:08:21.299 --> 00:08:21.939
 the Son of Man

00:08:21.939 --> 00:08:23.359
 came to seek

00:08:23.359 --> 00:08:24.240
 and to save

00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:24.819
 the lost.

00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:26.000
 This was the plan.

00:08:26.740 --> 00:08:27.459
 He's the Lamb

00:08:27.459 --> 00:08:28.259
 that was slain

00:08:28.259 --> 00:08:28.939
 from before

00:08:28.939 --> 00:08:29.819
 the foundations

00:08:29.819 --> 00:08:30.879
 of the world.

00:08:31.060 --> 00:08:32.000
 God's plan

00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:32.899
 from before

00:08:32.899 --> 00:08:33.559
 the foundation

00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:34.299
 of the world

00:08:34.299 --> 00:08:35.679
 was to send

00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:36.919
 His Son

00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:38.279
 and glorify

00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:39.039
 His name

00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:40.419
 in the crucifixion

00:08:40.419 --> 00:08:41.139
 of His Son

00:08:41.139 --> 00:08:41.720
 in the place

00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:42.200
 of sinners

00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:42.980
 like me and you.

00:08:44.680 --> 00:08:45.759
 It's good news

00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:46.639
 for sinners

00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:47.340
 like us.

00:08:48.660 --> 00:08:49.600
 Because now

00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:50.480
 for us

00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:51.340
 it is finished.

00:08:51.500 --> 00:08:52.160
 For us

00:08:52.160 --> 00:08:52.720
 means that

00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:53.720
 everything you

00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:54.560
 and I need

00:08:54.560 --> 00:08:55.180
 in order to be

00:08:55.180 --> 00:08:56.240
 counted perfect

00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:56.960
 in the sight

00:08:56.960 --> 00:08:57.460
 of God

00:08:57.460 --> 00:08:58.519
 is finished.

00:08:59.660 --> 00:09:00.580
 It is found

00:09:00.580 --> 00:09:01.680
 in Him.

00:09:01.820 --> 00:09:02.820
 It is received

00:09:02.820 --> 00:09:03.740
 by faith

00:09:03.740 --> 00:09:04.840
 in Him.

00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:05.460
 All of our

00:09:05.460 --> 00:09:06.139
 striving

00:09:06.139 --> 00:09:07.440
 is finished.

00:09:08.620 --> 00:09:09.899
 All of our

00:09:09.899 --> 00:09:10.440
 earning

00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:11.780
 is finished.

00:09:12.800 --> 00:09:13.280
 All of our

00:09:13.280 --> 00:09:13.980
 worry about

00:09:13.980 --> 00:09:14.940
 whether or not

00:09:14.940 --> 00:09:15.360
 we can ever

00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:16.140
 measure up

00:09:16.140 --> 00:09:16.760
 or whether or not

00:09:16.760 --> 00:09:17.120
 we can ever

00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:17.960
 be good enough

00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:18.640
 or whether or not

00:09:18.640 --> 00:09:19.420
 God might ever

00:09:19.420 --> 00:09:20.460
 accept somebody

00:09:20.460 --> 00:09:21.320
 as messed up

00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:21.980
 as me.

00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:22.980
 All of that

00:09:22.980 --> 00:09:23.740
 is finished.

00:09:23.880 --> 00:09:24.160
 Why?

00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:25.260
 Because simply

00:09:25.260 --> 00:09:26.060
 by faith

00:09:26.060 --> 00:09:27.320
 we receive

00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:28.320
 the perfect

00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:29.060
 record

00:09:29.060 --> 00:09:30.640
 of Jesus Christ.

00:09:32.700 --> 00:09:33.480
 For us

00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:34.180
 by faith

00:09:34.180 --> 00:09:35.300
 it is finished

00:09:35.299 --> 00:09:35.919
 means that

00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:37.059
 our debt

00:09:37.059 --> 00:09:37.859
 is paid

00:09:37.859 --> 00:09:38.819
 in full.

00:09:40.120 --> 00:09:41.279
 His sacrifice

00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:42.740
 is in

00:09:42.740 --> 00:09:44.299
 our place.

00:09:44.419 --> 00:09:44.839
 The wrath

00:09:44.839 --> 00:09:45.459
 of God

00:09:45.459 --> 00:09:46.699
 that was

00:09:46.699 --> 00:09:47.259
 poured out

00:09:47.259 --> 00:09:48.059
 on Him

00:09:48.059 --> 00:09:49.399
 was the

00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:50.179
 wrath of God

00:09:50.179 --> 00:09:50.599
 that was

00:09:50.599 --> 00:09:51.659
 owed to us.

00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:53.620
 And God

00:09:53.620 --> 00:09:54.019
 will never

00:09:54.019 --> 00:09:55.000
 double charge

00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:55.500
 the bill.

00:09:57.039 --> 00:09:58.299
 Jesus Christ

00:09:58.299 --> 00:09:59.199
 endured

00:09:59.199 --> 00:10:00.139
 in full

00:10:00.139 --> 00:10:00.799
 the wrath

00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:01.459
 of God

00:10:01.459 --> 00:10:02.779
 paid in full

00:10:02.779 --> 00:10:03.360
 the debt

00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:03.779
 that you

00:10:03.779 --> 00:10:04.240
 and I

00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:05.240
 owe.

00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:06.240
 In the

00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:06.939
 ancient world

00:10:06.939 --> 00:10:07.399
 merchants

00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:08.139
 just like

00:10:08.139 --> 00:10:08.419
 they do

00:10:08.419 --> 00:10:08.779
 today

00:10:08.779 --> 00:10:09.519
 when there

00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:10.059
 was a bill

00:10:10.059 --> 00:10:10.620
 that was

00:10:10.620 --> 00:10:11.079
 owed

00:10:11.079 --> 00:10:12.199
 when it

00:10:12.199 --> 00:10:12.699
 was paid

00:10:12.699 --> 00:10:13.379
 in full

00:10:13.379 --> 00:10:13.740
 they would

00:10:13.740 --> 00:10:14.259
 write a little

00:10:14.259 --> 00:10:14.919
 note on the

00:10:14.919 --> 00:10:15.220
 top.

00:10:15.299 --> 00:10:15.539
 It was just

00:10:15.539 --> 00:10:16.100
 one word.

00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:16.299
 You know

00:10:16.299 --> 00:10:16.759
 what it said?

00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:18.480
 The same

00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:19.220
 word that came

00:10:19.220 --> 00:10:19.759
 out of Jesus'

00:10:20.019 --> 00:10:20.579
 mouth here

00:10:20.579 --> 00:10:21.360
 on the cross

00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:22.179
 to lest

00:10:22.179 --> 00:10:22.539
 die.

00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:23.819
 It is

00:10:23.819 --> 00:10:25.059
 finished.

00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:26.699
 The debt

00:10:26.699 --> 00:10:28.179
 is paid

00:10:28.179 --> 00:10:29.439
 in full

00:10:29.439 --> 00:10:30.620
 for all

00:10:30.620 --> 00:10:31.179
 who trust

00:10:31.179 --> 00:10:31.559
 Him by

00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:32.039
 faith.

00:10:32.779 --> 00:10:34.259
 So now

00:10:34.259 --> 00:10:36.100
 praise God

00:10:36.100 --> 00:10:36.740
 it is

00:10:36.740 --> 00:10:37.120
 finished

00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:37.919
 means that

00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:38.779
 we who

00:10:38.779 --> 00:10:39.500
 know Him

00:10:39.500 --> 00:10:40.379
 by faith

00:10:40.379 --> 00:10:41.579
 are included

00:10:41.579 --> 00:10:42.279
 in the

00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:42.839
 eternal

00:10:42.839 --> 00:10:43.819
 plan

00:10:43.819 --> 00:10:44.959
 of God.

00:10:45.079 --> 00:10:45.480
 I love

00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:45.819
 the book

00:10:45.819 --> 00:10:46.519
 of Ephesians

00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:47.399
 and how

00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:48.059
 Paul just

00:10:48.059 --> 00:10:49.559
 gushes over

00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:50.039
 what God

00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:50.459
 has done

00:10:50.459 --> 00:10:51.360
 for us

00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:51.879
 in Christ.

00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:52.339
 Listen to

00:10:52.339 --> 00:10:52.579
 this from

00:10:52.579 --> 00:10:52.939
 Ephesians

00:10:52.939 --> 00:10:53.539
 chapter 1.

00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:55.899
 He says

00:10:55.899 --> 00:10:56.939
 blessed be

00:10:56.939 --> 00:10:57.600
 the God

00:10:57.600 --> 00:10:58.100
 and Father

00:10:58.100 --> 00:10:58.459
 of our

00:10:58.459 --> 00:10:59.000
 Lord Jesus

00:10:59.000 --> 00:10:59.579
 Christ

00:10:59.579 --> 00:11:00.959
 who has

00:11:00.959 --> 00:11:01.740
 blessed us

00:11:01.740 --> 00:11:02.639
 in Christ

00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:03.419
 with every

00:11:03.419 --> 00:11:04.059
 spiritual

00:11:04.059 --> 00:11:04.539
 blessing

00:11:04.539 --> 00:11:04.819
 in the

00:11:04.819 --> 00:11:05.080
 heavenly

00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:05.659
 places

00:11:05.659 --> 00:11:06.860
 even as

00:11:06.860 --> 00:11:07.379
 He chose

00:11:07.379 --> 00:11:07.939
 us in

00:11:07.939 --> 00:11:08.279
 Him

00:11:08.279 --> 00:11:09.039
 before the

00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:09.559
 foundation

00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:10.039
 of the

00:11:10.039 --> 00:11:10.439
 world

00:11:10.439 --> 00:11:11.120
 that we

00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:11.480
 should be

00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:11.939
 holy

00:11:11.939 --> 00:11:13.179
 and blameless

00:11:13.179 --> 00:11:13.879
 before Him.

00:11:14.939 --> 00:11:15.720
 In love

00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:17.159
 He predestined

00:11:17.159 --> 00:11:17.620
 us for

00:11:17.620 --> 00:11:18.179
 adoption

00:11:18.179 --> 00:11:18.919
 to Himself

00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:19.819
 as sons

00:11:19.819 --> 00:11:20.299
 through

00:11:20.299 --> 00:11:21.319
 Jesus Christ

00:11:21.319 --> 00:11:22.259
 according to

00:11:22.259 --> 00:11:22.740
 the purpose

00:11:22.740 --> 00:11:23.240
 of His

00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:23.639
 will

00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:24.240
 to the

00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:24.779
 praise of

00:11:24.779 --> 00:11:25.120
 His

00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:25.639
 glorious

00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:26.199
 grace

00:11:26.199 --> 00:11:27.000
 with which

00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:27.259
 He has

00:11:27.259 --> 00:11:27.980
 blessed us

00:11:27.980 --> 00:11:28.240
 and the

00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:28.600
 beloved

00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:30.519
 in Him

00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:31.120
 we have

00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:31.720
 redemption

00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:32.820
 through His

00:11:32.820 --> 00:11:33.240
 blood

00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:34.560
 the forgiveness

00:11:34.560 --> 00:11:35.019
 of our

00:11:35.019 --> 00:11:35.820
 trespasses

00:11:35.820 --> 00:11:36.860
 according to

00:11:36.860 --> 00:11:37.300
 the riches

00:11:37.300 --> 00:11:37.740
 of His

00:11:37.740 --> 00:11:38.240
 grace

00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:39.180
 which He

00:11:39.180 --> 00:11:40.000
 lavished upon

00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:40.879
 us in all

00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:41.580
 wisdom and

00:11:41.580 --> 00:11:42.019
 insight

00:11:42.019 --> 00:11:42.980
 making known

00:11:42.980 --> 00:11:43.639
 to us the

00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:44.360
 mystery of

00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:44.960
 His will

00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:45.899
 according to

00:11:45.899 --> 00:11:46.860
 His purpose

00:11:46.860 --> 00:11:47.879
 which He set

00:11:47.879 --> 00:11:48.460
 forth in

00:11:48.460 --> 00:11:48.960
 Christ

00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:50.139
 as a plan

00:11:50.139 --> 00:11:50.659
 for the

00:11:50.659 --> 00:11:50.980
 fullness

00:11:50.980 --> 00:11:51.820
 of time

00:11:51.820 --> 00:11:52.860
 to unite

00:11:52.860 --> 00:11:53.860
 all things

00:11:53.860 --> 00:11:54.500
 in Him

00:11:54.500 --> 00:11:55.800
 things in

00:11:55.800 --> 00:11:56.080
 heaven

00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:57.160
 and things

00:11:57.160 --> 00:11:57.720
 on earth

00:11:57.720 --> 00:11:59.160
 in Him

00:11:59.160 --> 00:11:59.520
 we have

00:11:59.520 --> 00:11:59.920
 obtained

00:11:59.920 --> 00:12:00.700
 an inheritance

00:12:00.700 --> 00:12:02.200
 having been

00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:02.800
 predestined

00:12:02.800 --> 00:12:03.280
 according to

00:12:03.280 --> 00:12:03.720
 the purpose

00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:04.120
 of Him

00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:04.500
 who works

00:12:04.500 --> 00:12:05.340
 all things

00:12:05.340 --> 00:12:05.820
 according to

00:12:05.820 --> 00:12:06.259
 the counsel

00:12:06.259 --> 00:12:06.660
 of His

00:12:06.660 --> 00:12:07.020
 will

00:12:07.020 --> 00:12:07.740
 so that

00:12:07.740 --> 00:12:08.180
 we who

00:12:08.180 --> 00:12:08.500
 were the

00:12:08.500 --> 00:12:08.940
 first to

00:12:08.940 --> 00:12:09.379
 hope in

00:12:09.379 --> 00:12:09.759
 Christ

00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:10.160
 might be

00:12:10.160 --> 00:12:10.440
 to the

00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:10.780
 praise

00:12:10.780 --> 00:12:11.120

00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:11.620
 glory

00:12:11.620 --> 00:12:13.160
 in Him

00:12:13.160 --> 00:12:13.920
 you also

00:12:13.920 --> 00:12:15.420
 you also

00:12:15.420 --> 00:12:16.540
 when you

00:12:16.540 --> 00:12:17.000
 heard the

00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:17.520
 word of

00:12:17.520 --> 00:12:18.000
 truth

00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:19.240
 the gospel

00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:19.620
 of your

00:12:19.620 --> 00:12:20.200
 salvation

00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:21.000
 and believed

00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:21.540
 in Him

00:12:21.540 --> 00:12:22.560
 you also

00:12:22.560 --> 00:12:23.580
 were sealed

00:12:23.580 --> 00:12:23.940
 with the

00:12:23.940 --> 00:12:24.340
 promised

00:12:24.340 --> 00:12:25.160
 Holy Spirit

00:12:25.160 --> 00:12:26.020
 who is the

00:12:26.019 --> 00:12:26.519
 guarantee

00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:27.259
 of our

00:12:27.259 --> 00:12:27.819
 inheritance

00:12:27.819 --> 00:12:28.679
 until we

00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:29.159
 acquire

00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:29.740
 possession

00:12:29.740 --> 00:12:30.159
 of it

00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:30.759
 to the

00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:31.360
 praise

00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:32.360
 of His

00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:33.279
 glory

00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:34.179
 if you

00:12:34.179 --> 00:12:34.840
 have come

00:12:34.840 --> 00:12:35.559
 to Christ

00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:36.579
 in faith

00:12:36.579 --> 00:12:37.860
 then you

00:12:37.860 --> 00:12:38.519
 can say

00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:39.559
 hallelujah

 throne

00:13:04.460 --> 00:13:05.059
 of God

 I am

00:13:07.740 --> 00:13:08.399
 adopted

00:13:08.399 --> 00:13:08.860
 as a

00:13:08.860 --> 00:13:09.299
 son

00:13:09.299 --> 00:13:09.720
 or a

 daughter

00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:10.519
 of God

00:13:14.159 --> 00:13:14.919
 of Christ

00:13:14.919 --> 00:13:16.220
 I have

00:13:16.220 --> 00:13:16.379
 been

00:13:16.379 --> 00:13:16.860
 forgiven

 of every

00:13:17.539 --> 00:13:18.460
 trespass

00:13:18.460 --> 00:13:19.740
 I have

00:13:19.740 --> 00:13:19.860
 been

00:13:19.860 --> 00:13:20.439
 united

 all

00:13:23.179 --> 00:13:24.119
 praise

00:13:24.119 --> 00:13:24.699
 be

00:13:24.699 --> 00:13:25.399
 to God

00:13:25.399 --> 00:13:25.759
 for his

00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:26.199
 glorious

00:13:26.199 --> 00:13:26.759
 grace

00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:29.979
 you see

00:13:29.979 --> 00:13:30.279
 why we

00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:30.899
 call this

00:13:30.899 --> 00:13:31.939
 good

00:13:31.939 --> 00:13:36.299
 Randy Alcorn

00:13:36.299 --> 00:13:36.799
 asks the

00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:37.439
 same question

00:13:37.439 --> 00:13:37.919
 he says

00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:38.419
 what is

00:13:38.419 --> 00:13:38.839
 good about

00:13:38.839 --> 00:13:39.059
 good

00:13:39.059 --> 00:13:39.439
 Friday

00:13:39.439 --> 00:13:39.979
 why isn't

00:13:39.979 --> 00:13:40.299
 it called

00:13:40.299 --> 00:13:40.639
 bad

00:13:40.639 --> 00:13:41.059
 Friday

00:13:41.059 --> 00:13:43.839
 and he

00:13:43.839 --> 00:13:44.199
 answers

00:13:44.199 --> 00:13:44.699
 because

00:13:44.699 --> 00:13:45.579
 out of

00:13:45.579 --> 00:13:45.719
 the

00:13:45.719 --> 00:13:46.459
 appallingly

00:13:46.459 --> 00:13:47.019
 bad

00:13:47.019 --> 00:13:47.459
 came

00:13:47.459 --> 00:13:47.899
 what was

00:13:47.899 --> 00:13:48.739
 inexpressibly

00:13:48.739 --> 00:13:49.079
 good

00:13:49.080 --> 00:13:50.700
 and the

00:13:50.700 --> 00:13:51.000
 good

00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:51.620
 trumps

00:13:51.620 --> 00:13:51.860
 the

00:13:51.860 --> 00:13:52.280
 bad

00:13:52.280 --> 00:13:52.800
 because

00:13:52.800 --> 00:13:53.020
 though

00:13:53.020 --> 00:13:53.200
 the

00:13:53.200 --> 00:13:53.540
 bad

00:13:53.540 --> 00:13:53.940
 was

00:13:53.940 --> 00:13:54.540
 temporary

00:13:54.540 --> 00:13:55.020
 the

00:13:55.020 --> 00:13:55.460
 good

00:13:55.460 --> 00:13:56.560
 is

00:13:56.560 --> 00:13:57.080
 eternal

00:13:57.080 --> 00:13:57.540
 friend

00:13:57.540 --> 00:13:58.259
 we end

00:13:58.259 --> 00:13:58.700
 this

00:13:58.700 --> 00:13:59.340
 evening

00:13:59.340 --> 00:14:00.120
 with

00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:00.660
 Christ

00:14:00.660 --> 00:14:01.620
 crucified

00:14:01.620 --> 00:14:02.220
 but we

00:14:02.220 --> 00:14:02.620
 call it

00:14:02.620 --> 00:14:02.840
 good

00:14:02.840 --> 00:14:03.160
 because

00:14:03.160 --> 00:14:03.700
 we know

00:14:03.700 --> 00:14:04.200
 that just

00:14:04.200 --> 00:14:04.660
 around

00:14:04.660 --> 00:14:04.879
 the

00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:05.300
 corner

00:14:05.300 --> 00:14:07.639
 is

00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:07.960
 Easter

00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:08.420
 Sunday

00:14:08.420 --> 00:14:10.379
 his

00:14:10.379 --> 00:14:11.200
 resurrection

00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:12.379
 is

00:14:12.379 --> 00:14:13.020
 ultimately

00:14:13.020 --> 00:14:13.740
 what makes

00:14:13.740 --> 00:14:14.000
 good

00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:14.420
 Friday

00:14:14.420 --> 00:14:15.100
 so

00:14:15.100 --> 00:14:15.600
 good

00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:15.940
 because

00:14:15.940 --> 00:14:16.540
 by it

00:14:16.540 --> 00:14:16.700
 he

00:14:16.700 --> 00:14:17.420
 conquers

00:14:17.420 --> 00:14:17.700
 the

00:14:17.700 --> 00:14:18.120
 grave

00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:19.139
 and lives

00:14:19.139 --> 00:14:19.659
 to offer

00:14:19.659 --> 00:14:20.320
 eternal

00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:20.980
 life

00:14:20.980 --> 00:14:21.560
 to any

00:14:21.560 --> 00:14:22.279
 sinner

00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:23.060
 who comes

00:14:23.060 --> 00:14:23.379
 to him

00:14:23.379 --> 00:14:23.899
 in faith

00:14:23.899 --> 00:14:26.279
 A.W.

00:14:26.379 --> 00:14:26.639
 Pink

00:14:26.639 --> 00:14:27.379
 says it

00:14:27.379 --> 00:14:27.840
 like this

00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:28.320
 he says

00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:29.399
 it is

00:14:29.399 --> 00:14:29.799
 finished

00:14:29.799 --> 00:14:30.200
 is but

00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:30.879
 one word

00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:31.200
 in the

00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:31.659
 original

00:14:31.659 --> 00:14:32.019
 yet

00:14:32.019 --> 00:14:32.799
 in that

00:14:32.799 --> 00:14:33.399
 one word

00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:33.940
 is wrapped

00:14:33.940 --> 00:14:34.500
 up the

00:14:34.500 --> 00:14:34.919
 gospel

00:14:34.919 --> 00:14:35.519
 of God

00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:37.340
 in that

00:14:37.340 --> 00:14:37.700
 word

00:14:37.700 --> 00:14:38.340
 is contained

00:15:01.139 --> 00:15:01.860
 together

00:15:01.860 --> 00:15:02.320
 but before

00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:02.720
 we do

00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:03.259
 I would

00:15:03.259 --> 00:15:03.879

00:15:12.180 --> 00:15:12.639
 a moment

00:15:12.639 --> 00:15:13.200

00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:13.639
 prayer

00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:14.840
 as we

00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:15.400

00:15:15.779 --> 00:15:16.079
 are

00:15:16.079 --> 00:15:16.759
 and reflect

00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:17.179
 on the

00:15:17.179 --> 00:15:17.500
 cross

00:15:20.860 --> 00:15:21.220
 yourself

00:15:21.220 --> 00:15:21.959

00:15:21.959 --> 00:15:22.439
 through these

00:15:22.439 --> 00:15:23.220
 three questions

00:15:23.220 --> 00:15:23.799
 for just a

00:15:23.799 --> 00:15:24.000
 moment

00:15:27.779 --> 00:15:28.139

 in full

00:15:34.439 --> 00:15:35.139
 at the

00:15:35.139 --> 00:15:35.600

00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:36.000

00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:38.240
 do I

00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:38.959
 trust

00:15:38.959 --> 00:15:40.000

00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:41.160

00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:39.559

00:16:39.559 --> 00:16:40.019
 the life

00:16:40.019 --> 00:16:40.259

 for me

00:17:36.940 --> 00:17:37.399
 sheep have

00:17:37.399 --> 00:17:38.099
 gone astray

00:17:38.099 --> 00:17:38.940
 every one

00:17:38.940 --> 00:17:39.460
 of us has

00:17:39.460 --> 00:17:39.899
 turned to

00:17:39.899 --> 00:17:40.399
 his own

00:17:40.399 --> 00:17:40.819
 way

00:17:40.819 --> 00:17:41.559
 Lord but

00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:42.180
 we rejoice

00:17:42.180 --> 00:17:42.720
 the Lord

00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:43.259
 has laid

00:17:43.259 --> 00:17:43.940
 on him

00:17:43.940 --> 00:17:44.559
 the iniquity

00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:44.940
 of us

00:17:44.940 --> 00:17:45.200
 all

00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:47.579
 and Father

00:17:47.579 --> 00:17:48.259
 we pray

00:17:48.259 --> 00:17:49.200
 that each

00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:49.480
 and every

00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:50.019
 one of us

00:17:50.019 --> 00:17:50.579
 would be

00:17:50.579 --> 00:17:51.259
 filled with

00:17:51.259 --> 00:17:51.899
 awe

00:17:51.899 --> 00:17:53.420
 and wonder

00:17:53.420 --> 00:17:54.659
 and gratitude

00:17:54.659 --> 00:17:57.559
 Lord that

00:17:57.559 --> 00:17:57.819
 we would

00:17:57.819 --> 00:17:58.579
 magnify the

00:17:58.579 --> 00:17:59.099
 glory of

00:17:59.099 --> 00:17:59.579
 God and

00:17:59.579 --> 00:18:00.139
 the gospel

00:18:00.139 --> 00:18:00.799
 of Jesus

00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:01.599
 Christ as

00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:02.200
 we reflect

00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:03.139
 on what

00:18:03.139 --> 00:18:03.659
 Jesus has

00:18:03.659 --> 00:18:04.079
 done for

00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:04.419
 us

00:18:04.419 --> 00:18:04.919
 Lord we

00:18:04.919 --> 00:18:05.399
 love you

00:18:05.399 --> 00:18:06.879
 you are

00:18:06.879 --> 00:18:07.500
 worthy of

00:18:07.500 --> 00:18:08.099
 our praise

00:18:08.099 --> 00:18:09.480
 we pray

00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:09.759
 this in

00:18:09.759 --> 00:18:10.319
 Jesus name

00:18:10.319 --> 00:18:11.879
 Amen
