00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:36.039
 Good morning. My name is Brian Lee, and my family and I are part of the Alameda Community Group.

00:00:36.780 --> 00:00:44.100
 The Lord's word for us this morning comes from the Gospel according to John, chapter 11, verses 17 to 53.

00:00:46.219 --> 00:00:52.019
 On his arrival, Jesus found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days.

00:00:52.900 --> 00:00:55.439
 Now Bethany was less than two miles from Jerusalem,

00:00:55.439 --> 00:01:00.859
 and many Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them in the loss of their brother.

00:01:01.799 --> 00:01:07.259
 When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but Mary stayed at home.

00:01:09.259 --> 00:01:14.620
 Lord, Martha said to Jesus, if you had been here, my brother would not have died,

00:01:15.459 --> 00:01:19.019
 but I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask.

00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:23.200
 Jesus said to her, your brother will rise again.

00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:28.799
 Martha answered, I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

00:01:29.820 --> 00:01:34.320
 Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life.

00:01:35.219 --> 00:01:39.879
 The one who believes in me will live, even though they die.

00:01:41.260 --> 00:01:44.840
 And whoever lives by believing in me will never die.

00:01:45.659 --> 00:01:46.800
 Do you believe this?

00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:49.359
 Yes, Lord, she replied.

00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:55.420
 I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.

00:01:56.620 --> 00:02:00.239
 After she had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary aside.

00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:04.039
 The teacher is here, she said, and is asking for you.

00:02:04.939 --> 00:02:07.680
 When Mary heard this, she got up quickly and went to him.

00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:13.639
 Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met him.

00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:20.339
 When the Jews who had been with Mary in the house comforting her noticed how quickly she got up and went out,

00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:24.519
 they followed her, supposing she was going to the tomb to mourn there.

00:02:25.559 --> 00:02:32.199
 When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said,

00:02:32.679 --> 00:02:36.039
 Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.

00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:41.900
 When Jesus saw her weeping and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping,

00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:45.699
 he was deeply moved in spirit and troubled.

00:02:47.259 --> 00:02:49.500
 Where have you laid him? he asked.

00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:51.719
 Come and see, Lord, they replied.

00:02:53.340 --> 00:02:54.340
 Jesus wept.

00:02:55.459 --> 00:02:57.939
 Then the Jews said, see how he loved him.

00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:04.519
 But some of them said, could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying?

00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:09.840
 Jesus, once more deeply moved, came to the tomb.

00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:13.420
 It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance.

00:03:14.620 --> 00:03:16.439
 Take away the stone, he said.

00:03:17.219 --> 00:03:20.460
 But Lord, said Martha, the sister of the dead man,

00:03:21.040 --> 00:03:24.640
 by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days.

00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:26.740
 Then Jesus said,

00:03:27.460 --> 00:03:31.400
 did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?

00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:33.420
 So they took away the stone.

00:03:33.419 --> 00:03:36.639
 Then Jesus looked up and said,

00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:39.879
 Father, I thank you that you have heard me.

00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:42.859
 I knew that you always hear me.

00:03:43.539 --> 00:03:46.879
 But I said this for the benefit of the people standing here,

00:03:47.379 --> 00:03:50.419
 that they may believe that you sent me.

00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:55.439
 When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice,

00:03:56.259 --> 00:03:58.299
 Lazarus, come out.

00:03:58.300 --> 00:04:06.100
 The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen and a cloth around his face.

00:04:07.040 --> 00:04:11.280
 Jesus said to them, take off the grave clothes and let him go.

00:04:12.660 --> 00:04:16.000
 So from that day on, they plotted to take his life.

00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:19.240
 This is the gospel of the Lord.

00:04:20.180 --> 00:04:21.699
 Praise to you, O Christ.

00:04:23.459 --> 00:04:24.879
 Good morning, Christ Church.

00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:26.660
 Thank you so much, Brian.

00:04:26.660 --> 00:04:35.320
 If you're new with us, on November 14th, we commended Isaac, Brian, and Seung-yoon's son into the Lord's hands

00:04:35.320 --> 00:04:37.760
 as he passed from this world into the world to come.

00:04:38.460 --> 00:04:41.440
 And our hearts just broke that Sunday morning.

00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:45.360
 And I threw the sermon that I had prepared into the trash.

00:04:46.060 --> 00:04:50.399
 And we just stumbled our way through this text about the death of Jesus' friend.

00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:53.000
 And so we love you guys.

00:04:54.819 --> 00:04:58.879
 And it's not often you get to preach the same text twice in a year.

00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:01.860
 Fortunately, this one is a rich one.

00:05:01.899 --> 00:05:04.680
 And I hope I can bring something fresh and helpful to you today.

00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:07.540
 It's the first Sunday in Lent.

00:05:07.980 --> 00:05:13.240
 And those Ash Wednesday words, those sober words, ring especially true these days.

00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:16.800
 Remember that you're dust, and to the dust you shall return.

00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:23.220
 There's nothing like a once-in-a-hundred-year killer virus to remind us of our frailty,

00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:28.939
 where it's felt at times like nature itself is trying to destroy us.

00:05:28.939 --> 00:05:34.839
 And then there's nothing like, you know, national vitriol just spewing

00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:41.300
 and internationally rockets launching to make us conclude that if nature can't kill us,

00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:44.779
 then we certainly are capable of doing it ourselves.

00:05:46.540 --> 00:05:48.420
 And, you know, there's one place.

00:05:48.579 --> 00:05:51.220
 Sorry, this thing doesn't want to fit my ear this morning.

00:05:51.300 --> 00:05:52.819
 I don't know what happened to my ear.

00:05:52.819 --> 00:06:03.099
 But there's one place I know to go and find big-picture help in our dust-to-dust reality of our lives and of this world,

00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:04.040
 and that's the Bible.

00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:12.100
 But as we open the Bible, I remember a book that I opened a few years ago by a philosopher named Luke Ferry.

00:06:13.139 --> 00:06:15.740
 He's a professor of philosophy at the University of Paris,

00:06:15.779 --> 00:06:19.259
 and he served as the French minister of national education.

00:06:19.259 --> 00:06:25.339
 And he wrote this book called A Brief History of Thought, A Philosophical Guide to Living.

00:06:26.060 --> 00:06:27.560
 And this is what Luke Ferry says.

00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:27.939
 He says,

00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:34.079
 When I was a student in 1968, when religious questions were not the most fashionable,

00:06:34.259 --> 00:06:42.139
 we basically ignored, lumped together, and cheerfully channel-hopped our way through the great monotheistic religions.

00:06:42.139 --> 00:06:51.800
 It was possible to pass our exams and even become a philosophy professor by knowing next to nothing about Judaism, Islam, or Christianity.

00:06:52.560 --> 00:07:00.199
 As a result, for years, I knew more or less nothing about the intellectual history of Christianity beyond the cultural commonplaces.

00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:01.959
 And Ferry says,

00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:06.839
 This strikes me as absurd, and I would not wish you to repeat the mistake.

00:07:06.979 --> 00:07:13.959
 Even if one is not a believer, and all the more so if one is hostile to religion, we have no right to ignorance.

00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:21.539
 If only we oppose it, we must at least be familiar with religion and its various forms and understand what we are opposing.

00:07:21.540 --> 00:07:33.080
 There is not a museum of art or even of contemporary art which does not require a minimum of theological understanding if one is to fully understand its contents.

00:07:33.840 --> 00:07:40.840
 That's a striking quote to me because as we think about the universal aspirations of humankind,

00:07:41.100 --> 00:07:49.320
 the kind of stuff philosophers work on, the search for identity, the quest for meaning, the sense of guilt, longing for freedom,

00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:56.379
 the hunger for love, the instinct to worship, the dread of death, and the desire to survive,

00:07:57.219 --> 00:08:05.219
 I would argue that Jesus corresponds rather wonderfully and beautifully to these deep and universal human aspirations.

00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:15.019
 And so I agree with Luke Ferry that it's strange and rather shocking that Jesus would be so studiously ignored by philosophers

00:08:15.019 --> 00:08:19.740
 and by the educated elites of the Western world.

00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:21.299
 Think about it.

00:08:21.299 --> 00:08:26.519
 We have more evidence about Jesus than all the great figures of ancient history,

00:08:27.259 --> 00:08:31.639
 and part of that evidence is the Gospel of John and the story of Lazarus.

00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:35.179
 And when you think about all the great heroes of history,

00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:44.279
 how many of them have stood in a cemetery and with the power of a word raised a human being from death to life?

00:08:45.019 --> 00:08:51.279
 Now, if that happened and we have strong evidence and tough-minded reasons to believe that it did happen,

00:08:51.379 --> 00:08:57.600
 wouldn't we want to know more about this person, who they are, what they came to do,

00:08:57.720 --> 00:09:00.360
 what their philosophy of life is all about?

00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:09.919
 And shouldn't that have some bearing on our philosophy of life and our approach to how we're going to live it?

00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:18.159
 So what I want to say this morning from John 11 is that Jesus gives us tombstone truth,

00:09:19.459 --> 00:09:23.719
 graveside grace, and primal power.

00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:26.139
 I just want to walk us through each one of those.

00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:32.679
 Jesus gives us tombstone truth, graveside grace, and primal power.

00:09:33.319 --> 00:09:36.079
 First of all, Jesus gives us tombstone truth.

00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:37.980
 Look at verse 21.

00:09:39.300 --> 00:09:40.840
 Lord, Martha said to Jesus,

00:09:41.040 --> 00:09:43.340
 If you had been here, my brother would not have died.

00:09:44.060 --> 00:09:47.580
 But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask.

00:09:48.259 --> 00:09:49.080
 And Jesus said to her,

00:09:49.160 --> 00:09:50.520
 Your brother will rise again.

00:09:51.100 --> 00:09:51.900
 And Martha answered,

00:09:51.980 --> 00:09:55.780
 I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

00:09:56.840 --> 00:09:59.420
 These are orthodox doctrines of Scripture.

00:10:00.040 --> 00:10:01.820
 That God is all-powerful,

00:10:02.460 --> 00:10:04.060
 that nothing's impossible for him,

00:10:04.059 --> 00:10:06.059
 that he listens to the prayers of the righteous,

00:10:06.359 --> 00:10:07.899
 that at the end of history,

00:10:08.039 --> 00:10:11.059
 God will raise his covenant people to new life.

00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:16.859
 That's sturdy biblical theology that gives us hope in the hardest times.

00:10:17.739 --> 00:10:18.779
 And though it's true,

00:10:18.939 --> 00:10:21.799
 it's kind of cold comfort to grieving Martha.

00:10:22.459 --> 00:10:26.299
 And so Jesus gives an even deeper comfort to her

00:10:26.299 --> 00:10:30.859
 with what are perhaps some of his most famous words in verse 25.

00:10:30.860 --> 00:10:33.440
 He says,

00:10:33.580 --> 00:10:35.080
 I am the resurrection and the life.

00:10:36.019 --> 00:10:37.720
 Anyone who believes in me will live,

00:10:37.800 --> 00:10:38.700
 even though they die.

00:10:38.779 --> 00:10:41.320
 And whoever lives by believing in me will never die.

00:10:41.779 --> 00:10:43.500
 Do you believe this?

00:10:44.680 --> 00:10:45.820
 Jesus, when he says,

00:10:46.060 --> 00:10:46.840
 I am the resurrection,

00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:50.200
 he's claiming to be the Lord of our physical death.

00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:52.639
 If you're trusting in me,

00:10:52.740 --> 00:10:53.139
 he says,

00:10:53.240 --> 00:10:54.360
 even though you die,

00:10:54.700 --> 00:10:55.500
 you will live.

00:10:56.399 --> 00:10:59.100
 Now, you'll not escape the experience of death,

00:10:59.100 --> 00:11:00.840
 but you will survive it.

00:11:00.920 --> 00:11:05.399
 You'll live with God in a disembodied state temporarily.

00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:07.639
 And then as the scriptures teach,

00:11:07.740 --> 00:11:09.860
 when Jesus comes again on the last day,

00:11:09.980 --> 00:11:11.899
 you will be raised up.

00:11:11.980 --> 00:11:15.080
 You will be re-embodied with him and like him

00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:18.220
 with a new resurrection body like Jesus' body

00:11:18.220 --> 00:11:20.120
 that has unimaginable powers.

00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:26.139
 So though your body now is weak and fragile and mortal,

00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:31.080
 your new body will be immune from pain and disease and fatigue

00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:33.879
 and shame and age and death

00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:37.100
 because that body will be free finally of sin.

00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:39.240
 So Jesus says,

00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:40.879
 I am the resurrection.

00:11:41.220 --> 00:11:43.580
 You don't need to look to a future event.

00:11:43.700 --> 00:11:46.080
 You need to look to the present person with you now.

00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:49.080
 Now, the resurrection is not so much a distant hope

00:11:49.080 --> 00:11:53.480
 as it is God in the flesh talking to you.

00:11:54.680 --> 00:11:55.680
 Jesus is saying,

00:11:55.860 --> 00:11:57.360
 I've come to win a victory.

00:11:57.560 --> 00:12:00.639
 I've come to triumph and conquer over death.

00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:02.460
 And so it follows logically

00:12:02.460 --> 00:12:04.500
 that my beloved believers,

00:12:04.820 --> 00:12:05.400
 for them,

00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:08.360
 death will not be the last word.

00:12:09.800 --> 00:12:11.020
 You guys tracking with me?

00:12:11.019 --> 00:12:14.059
 I need like an amen or I need,

00:12:15.079 --> 00:12:16.819
 I can't keep preaching the sermon.

00:12:17.939 --> 00:12:19.960
 This is like not a monologue here.

00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:24.439
 Yes, you are going to share in the shock

00:12:24.439 --> 00:12:26.460
 and the scandal and the sadness of death,

00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:27.439
 but for you,

00:12:27.939 --> 00:12:30.240
 your final state will be the reversal

00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:33.220
 of the reality of physical dissolution.

00:12:34.179 --> 00:12:36.620
 So don't look to the future for your hope.

00:12:36.860 --> 00:12:38.319
 Look to me right now

00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:39.940
 for I am the resurrection

00:12:39.940 --> 00:12:42.500
 and I have come to bring people

00:12:42.500 --> 00:12:44.260
 from death to life.

00:12:44.900 --> 00:12:46.480
 The resurrection is not a doctrine.

00:12:46.580 --> 00:12:48.780
 The resurrection has a living face

00:12:48.780 --> 00:12:49.480
 and a name.

00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:50.360
 It's Jesus.

00:12:51.879 --> 00:12:52.860
 I'm the resurrection.

00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:54.240
 That's a claim to be the Lord

00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:55.260
 over physical death.

00:12:55.340 --> 00:12:55.879
 And when he says,

00:12:56.140 --> 00:12:56.960
 I am the life,

00:12:57.180 --> 00:12:58.740
 that is a claim to be the Lord

00:12:58.740 --> 00:13:00.180
 over spiritual death.

00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:02.900
 Jesus says in verse 26,

00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:03.660
 I'm the life

00:13:03.660 --> 00:13:05.700
 and whoever lives by believing in me

00:13:05.700 --> 00:13:07.480
 will never die.

00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:09.480
 Or as one translator says,

00:13:09.540 --> 00:13:11.120
 they will never ever die

00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:12.600
 an eternal death.

00:13:12.700 --> 00:13:14.680
 For all people are born

00:13:14.680 --> 00:13:16.120
 under the judgment of God

00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:16.980
 for our sins.

00:13:17.740 --> 00:13:19.160
 We arrive at life

00:13:19.160 --> 00:13:21.000
 already in a state of death,

00:13:21.160 --> 00:13:22.160
 alienated from God,

00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:24.000
 separated from the God of life

00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:26.320
 under his just condemnation.

00:13:26.400 --> 00:13:27.280
 But Jesus says,

00:13:27.420 --> 00:13:29.600
 when we experience him

00:13:29.600 --> 00:13:31.620
 who is life with a capital L,

00:13:32.420 --> 00:13:33.660
 we will come alive.

00:13:34.820 --> 00:13:36.060
 That as he taught Nicodemus,

00:13:36.060 --> 00:13:37.860
 we will be born again from above,

00:13:37.860 --> 00:13:38.980
 that the Holy Spirit

00:13:38.980 --> 00:13:39.960
 will come down

00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:41.720
 and bring the divine,

00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:43.019
 eternal life of God

00:13:43.019 --> 00:13:45.080
 into us.

00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:46.740
 That Jesus,

00:13:47.180 --> 00:13:48.120
 who is the life

00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:49.300
 by the Holy Spirit,

00:13:49.480 --> 00:13:50.259
 will bring us

00:13:50.259 --> 00:13:51.879
 into the fellowship of love

00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:53.159
 with his Father.

00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:55.539
 And if that's true of you,

00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:56.879
 if you're in this circle

00:13:56.879 --> 00:13:58.519
 of life and love

00:13:58.519 --> 00:13:59.279
 with God,

00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:01.139
 you can never die

00:14:01.139 --> 00:14:02.240
 a spiritual death.

00:14:03.220 --> 00:14:04.920
 Nothing can separate you

00:14:04.919 --> 00:14:06.759
 from the love of God.

00:14:07.500 --> 00:14:09.500
 If you have this real,

00:14:10.019 --> 00:14:10.399
 true,

00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:12.019
 deep experience

00:14:12.019 --> 00:14:13.439
 of life in Christ,

00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:16.259
 your moment of physical death

00:14:16.259 --> 00:14:17.779
 will not even be a blip.

00:14:18.979 --> 00:14:21.019
 This life will be so strong,

00:14:21.179 --> 00:14:21.879
 so full,

00:14:22.019 --> 00:14:22.679
 so rich,

00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:24.019
 so indestructible

00:14:24.019 --> 00:14:25.139
 that in comparison

00:14:25.139 --> 00:14:27.139
 with your physical death,

00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:28.159
 it will be trivial.

00:14:29.159 --> 00:14:30.419
 You will simply go

00:14:30.419 --> 00:14:31.659
 straight from living

00:14:31.659 --> 00:14:33.500
 with Christ in this world

00:14:33.500 --> 00:14:35.439
 to a more intensified form

00:14:35.439 --> 00:14:36.100
 of life

00:14:36.100 --> 00:14:37.019
 with him

00:14:37.019 --> 00:14:38.000
 in the world to come,

00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:39.219
 which the scriptures tell us

00:14:39.219 --> 00:14:41.039
 is better by far.

00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:45.139
 Jesus has been building up

00:14:45.139 --> 00:14:45.559
 to this

00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:46.699
 through the whole gospel.

00:14:47.779 --> 00:14:48.860
 And we heard him say

00:14:48.860 --> 00:14:50.139
 in John chapter 5,

00:14:50.219 --> 00:14:50.839
 verse 24,

00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:51.360
 he says,

00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:52.700
 very truly I tell you,

00:14:53.279 --> 00:14:54.620
 whoever hears my word

00:14:54.620 --> 00:14:55.620
 and believes him

00:14:55.620 --> 00:14:56.399
 who sent me

00:14:56.399 --> 00:14:58.000
 has eternal life,

00:14:58.080 --> 00:14:59.519
 not will have eternal life,

00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:00.320
 but has,

00:15:00.620 --> 00:15:01.419
 as a present,

00:15:01.580 --> 00:15:02.580
 authentic experience,

00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:04.700
 you have eternal life

00:15:04.700 --> 00:15:05.419
 now,

00:15:05.500 --> 00:15:06.980
 and you will not be judged

00:15:06.980 --> 00:15:09.080
 because you crossed over

00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:09.879
 from death

00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:10.919
 to life.

00:15:11.940 --> 00:15:13.060
 And Jesus goes on,

00:15:13.100 --> 00:15:13.360
 he says,

00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:14.460
 very truly I tell you,

00:15:14.500 --> 00:15:15.420
 a time is coming

00:15:15.420 --> 00:15:16.960
 and has now come

00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:18.039
 when the dead

00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:19.039
 will hear the voice

00:15:19.039 --> 00:15:19.940
 of the Son of God

00:15:19.940 --> 00:15:20.980
 and those who hear

00:15:20.980 --> 00:15:21.980
 will live.

00:15:24.580 --> 00:15:25.660
 We heard him say

00:15:25.660 --> 00:15:26.480
 a couple weeks ago

00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:27.460
 in John chapter 8,

00:15:27.580 --> 00:15:28.760
 very truly I tell you,

00:15:28.860 --> 00:15:30.220
 whoever obeys my word

00:15:30.220 --> 00:15:31.580
 will never see death.

00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:34.540
 And Jesus is going to go on

00:15:34.540 --> 00:15:35.160
 in his great

00:15:35.160 --> 00:15:36.320
 high priestly prayer

00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:37.240
 in John 17,

00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:38.660
 he's going to pray this.

00:15:39.540 --> 00:15:40.220
 He's going to say,

00:15:40.640 --> 00:15:42.200
 now this is eternal life

00:15:42.200 --> 00:15:44.340
 that they may know you,

00:15:44.440 --> 00:15:45.440
 the only true God

00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:46.380
 and Jesus Christ

00:15:46.380 --> 00:15:47.220
 whom you have sent.

00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:49.140
 Eternal life

00:15:49.139 --> 00:15:50.080
 is not a thing,

00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:51.240
 it's not an object

00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:52.120
 that you possess.

00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:52.980
 Eternal life

00:15:52.980 --> 00:15:53.659
 is a person,

00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:54.899
 it's a relationship,

00:15:55.179 --> 00:15:55.879
 it's an experience

00:15:55.879 --> 00:15:57.559
 that you enter into.

00:15:57.819 --> 00:15:58.340
 And Jesus,

00:15:58.659 --> 00:15:59.220
 I have to say,

00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:00.299
 he's pretty excited

00:16:00.299 --> 00:16:02.500
 about not only life

00:16:02.500 --> 00:16:03.139
 after death

00:16:03.139 --> 00:16:04.500
 but life before death

00:16:04.500 --> 00:16:05.220
 right now.

00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:06.960
 He's come

00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:08.199
 and he's come

00:16:08.199 --> 00:16:09.220
 to deal with

00:16:09.220 --> 00:16:09.960
 the problem

00:16:09.960 --> 00:16:10.840
 of life

00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:12.019
 and its meaninglessness

00:16:12.019 --> 00:16:13.840
 and he's also come

00:16:13.840 --> 00:16:14.319
 to deal with

00:16:14.319 --> 00:16:14.759
 the problem

00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:15.679
 of death

00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:16.600
 and its certainty.

00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:17.819
 And that's why

00:16:17.819 --> 00:16:18.200
 he says,

00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:18.860
 I am both

00:16:18.860 --> 00:16:19.720
 the resurrection

00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:21.060
 and the life.

00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:23.820
 Do you believe this?

00:16:25.520 --> 00:16:26.520
 Do you believe that?

00:16:26.560 --> 00:16:27.320
 That's the question

00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:27.940
 that he asked

00:16:27.940 --> 00:16:28.560
 and we're going to come

00:16:28.560 --> 00:16:29.500
 to Martha's answer

00:16:29.500 --> 00:16:30.220
 in a little bit.

00:16:30.300 --> 00:16:30.800
 But this is,

00:16:30.900 --> 00:16:32.180
 this is just good

00:16:32.180 --> 00:16:33.879
 tombstone truth

00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:34.440
 and you're going

00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:35.040
 to need it.

00:16:35.980 --> 00:16:36.540
 You're going

00:16:36.540 --> 00:16:37.180
 to need it

00:16:37.180 --> 00:16:38.100
 because you're all

00:16:38.100 --> 00:16:38.740
 going to stand

00:16:38.740 --> 00:16:40.020
 at a tombstone.

00:16:41.280 --> 00:16:42.259
 And so Jesus gives us

00:16:42.259 --> 00:16:43.700
 not only tombstone truth

00:16:43.700 --> 00:16:44.720
 but he also gives us

00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:46.259
 graveside grace.

00:16:46.259 --> 00:16:47.960
 He gives us

00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:49.220
 not just tombstone truth

00:16:49.220 --> 00:16:50.399
 but graveside grace.

00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:52.059
 I was with one

00:16:52.059 --> 00:16:52.819
 of my New Testament

00:16:52.819 --> 00:16:53.899
 professors last week,

00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:54.500
 Reggie Kidd

00:16:54.500 --> 00:16:56.399
 and we were talking

00:16:56.399 --> 00:16:57.439
 by the fire

00:16:57.439 --> 00:17:01.480
 drinking some strong

00:17:01.480 --> 00:17:02.019
 beverages

00:17:02.019 --> 00:17:04.379
 talking about

00:17:04.379 --> 00:17:06.140
 how much we love

00:17:06.140 --> 00:17:07.240
 the gospel of John

00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:08.460
 because in it

00:17:08.460 --> 00:17:09.420
 we get this

00:17:09.420 --> 00:17:10.879
 high divinity

00:17:10.879 --> 00:17:11.379
 of Jesus

00:17:11.379 --> 00:17:12.460
 but also this deep

00:17:12.460 --> 00:17:13.519
 humanity of Jesus.

00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:16.839
 Jesus is the word

00:17:16.839 --> 00:17:17.359
 of God

00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:18.379
 who made the world

00:17:18.379 --> 00:17:19.180
 but he also

00:17:19.180 --> 00:17:20.500
 has the longest

00:17:20.500 --> 00:17:21.500
 and deepest

00:17:21.500 --> 00:17:22.740
 conversations

00:17:22.740 --> 00:17:23.680
 and dialogues

00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:24.960
 with people

00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:25.900
 whom he radically

00:17:25.900 --> 00:17:26.879
 is transforming.

00:17:28.119 --> 00:17:28.759
 And John 11

00:17:28.759 --> 00:17:29.379
 is no different.

00:17:29.599 --> 00:17:30.539
 Here we see

00:17:30.539 --> 00:17:31.879
 Jesus' divine power

00:17:31.879 --> 00:17:32.940
 and his great

00:17:32.940 --> 00:17:33.879
 humanity.

00:17:34.779 --> 00:17:35.539
 Look with me

00:17:35.539 --> 00:17:36.160
 at the end

00:17:36.160 --> 00:17:36.680
 of the story

00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:37.599
 where Jesus says

00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:38.440
 in verse 43

00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:39.319
 called out

00:17:39.319 --> 00:17:40.019
 in a loud voice

00:17:40.019 --> 00:17:41.279
 Lazarus come out

00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:42.279
 and the dead

00:17:42.279 --> 00:17:44.200
 man came out.

00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:45.279
 Now that's a power

00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:46.559
 beyond human imagining.

00:17:47.700 --> 00:17:48.779
 We can put a man

00:17:48.779 --> 00:17:49.220
 on the moon

00:17:49.220 --> 00:17:50.139
 but can we

00:17:50.139 --> 00:17:51.339
 call the dead

00:17:51.339 --> 00:17:52.359
 out of a grave?

00:17:53.379 --> 00:17:54.139
 Of the greatest

00:17:54.139 --> 00:17:54.839
 achievements

00:17:54.839 --> 00:17:55.879
 of the 20th century

00:17:55.879 --> 00:17:56.879
 Jesus' achievement

00:17:56.879 --> 00:17:57.720
 in the first century

00:17:57.720 --> 00:17:58.879
 was even greater

00:17:58.879 --> 00:17:59.619
 I have to say.

00:18:02.900 --> 00:18:03.819
 We get

00:18:03.819 --> 00:18:05.099
 this amazing

00:18:05.099 --> 00:18:05.619
 description

00:18:05.619 --> 00:18:07.240
 of divine power

00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:07.559
 here

00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:08.919
 but alongside

00:18:08.919 --> 00:18:09.419
 it we get

00:18:09.419 --> 00:18:10.059
 this lovely

00:18:10.059 --> 00:18:10.619
 description

00:18:10.619 --> 00:18:11.980
 of humanity.

00:18:13.079 --> 00:18:14.200
 Jesus is close

00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:15.139
 with this family.

00:18:16.200 --> 00:18:16.759
 It says that

00:18:16.759 --> 00:18:17.339
 he had great

00:18:17.339 --> 00:18:18.179
 affection for them.

00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:19.119
 He loved Martha.

00:18:19.259 --> 00:18:20.079
 He loved Mary.

00:18:20.200 --> 00:18:21.559
 He loved Lazarus.

00:18:21.599 --> 00:18:22.319
 When they saw him

00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:23.859
 weeping over his friend

00:18:23.859 --> 00:18:24.220
 they said

00:18:24.220 --> 00:18:25.059
 see how

00:18:25.059 --> 00:18:26.299
 see how

00:18:26.299 --> 00:18:27.079
 he loved him.

00:18:28.159 --> 00:18:28.919
 This was his

00:18:28.919 --> 00:18:29.659
 home base

00:18:29.659 --> 00:18:30.819
 his spiritual family

00:18:30.819 --> 00:18:31.759
 that he had adopted

00:18:31.759 --> 00:18:32.599
 when he'd come down

00:18:32.599 --> 00:18:33.139
 to Jerusalem

00:18:33.139 --> 00:18:34.079
 this is where

00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:34.740
 he would be

00:18:34.740 --> 00:18:36.019
 with this family.

00:18:36.019 --> 00:18:37.500
 And

00:18:37.500 --> 00:18:38.779
 alongside

00:18:38.779 --> 00:18:39.700
 of his divine

00:18:39.700 --> 00:18:40.099
 power

00:18:40.099 --> 00:18:40.740
 we see

00:18:40.740 --> 00:18:41.759
 a deep

00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:42.379
 sympathy

00:18:42.379 --> 00:18:43.779
 that Jesus

00:18:43.779 --> 00:18:44.740
 has with those

00:18:44.740 --> 00:18:45.339
 he calls

00:18:45.339 --> 00:18:46.039
 friends

00:18:46.039 --> 00:18:47.220
 especially when

00:18:47.220 --> 00:18:47.619
 they're going

00:18:47.619 --> 00:18:48.940
 through a family

00:18:48.940 --> 00:18:49.859
 tragedy

00:18:49.859 --> 00:18:51.359
 we see Jesus

00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:51.940
 weep

00:18:51.940 --> 00:18:52.779
 with those

00:18:52.779 --> 00:18:53.759
 who weep.

00:18:54.980 --> 00:18:55.799
 We get here

00:18:55.799 --> 00:18:56.259
 a picture

00:18:56.259 --> 00:18:57.639
 of the supernatural

00:18:57.639 --> 00:18:58.500
 power that

00:18:58.500 --> 00:18:59.440
 separates Jesus

00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:00.139
 from us

00:19:00.139 --> 00:19:01.480
 because we can't

00:19:01.480 --> 00:19:01.859
 do that

00:19:01.859 --> 00:19:02.759
 we can't stand

00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:03.480
 in a graveyard

00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:04.180
 and call people

00:19:04.180 --> 00:19:04.799
 to come out

00:19:04.799 --> 00:19:06.240
 but we also

00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:06.960
 get here

00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:07.980
 a picture

00:19:07.980 --> 00:19:09.019
 of a human

00:19:09.019 --> 00:19:09.619
 sympathy

00:19:09.619 --> 00:19:10.159
 from Jesus

00:19:10.159 --> 00:19:10.799
 that draws

00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:11.480
 us close

00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:11.960
 to him

00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:13.799
 and if

00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:14.700
 in his divinity

00:19:14.700 --> 00:19:15.379
 he does

00:19:15.379 --> 00:19:15.799
 for us

00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:16.460
 what we cannot

00:19:16.460 --> 00:19:17.359
 do for ourselves

00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:18.859
 in his humanity

00:19:18.859 --> 00:19:20.299
 he sets

00:19:20.299 --> 00:19:20.680
 for us

00:19:20.680 --> 00:19:21.299
 a pattern

00:19:21.299 --> 00:19:21.839
 of what

00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:22.319
 we ought

00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:22.639
 to be

00:19:22.639 --> 00:19:22.940
 like

00:19:22.940 --> 00:19:24.279
 in our life

00:19:24.279 --> 00:19:24.779
 and in our

00:19:24.779 --> 00:19:25.579
 experience

00:19:25.579 --> 00:19:26.839
 and look

00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:27.099
 at what

00:19:27.099 --> 00:19:27.500
 he does

00:19:27.500 --> 00:19:27.799
 with these

00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:28.519
 two sisters

00:19:28.519 --> 00:19:29.220
 Martha

00:19:29.220 --> 00:19:29.839
 and Mary

00:19:29.839 --> 00:19:30.259
 in their

00:19:30.259 --> 00:19:30.680
 different

00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:31.299
 personalities

00:19:31.299 --> 00:19:31.779
 and their

00:19:31.779 --> 00:19:32.639
 drastically

00:19:32.639 --> 00:19:33.119
 different

00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:33.619
 needs

00:19:33.619 --> 00:19:35.019
 we read

00:19:35.019 --> 00:19:35.319
 in verse

00:19:35.319 --> 00:19:35.959
 32

00:19:35.959 --> 00:19:37.319
 that when

00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:37.939
 Mary reached

00:19:37.939 --> 00:19:38.379
 the place

00:19:38.379 --> 00:19:38.879
 where Jesus

00:19:38.879 --> 00:19:39.399
 was

00:19:39.399 --> 00:19:39.879
 and saw

00:19:39.879 --> 00:19:40.119
 him

00:19:40.119 --> 00:19:40.639
 she fell

00:19:40.639 --> 00:19:40.959
 at his

00:19:40.959 --> 00:19:41.219
 feet

00:19:41.219 --> 00:19:41.619
 and said

00:19:41.619 --> 00:19:41.979
 Lord

00:19:41.979 --> 00:19:43.179
 if you

00:19:43.179 --> 00:19:43.559
 had been

00:19:43.559 --> 00:19:43.919
 here

00:19:43.919 --> 00:19:44.659
 my brother

00:19:44.659 --> 00:19:45.339
 would not

00:19:45.339 --> 00:19:46.179
 have died

00:19:46.179 --> 00:19:47.739
 the same

00:19:47.739 --> 00:19:48.259
 statement

00:19:48.259 --> 00:19:49.059
 as Martha

00:19:49.059 --> 00:19:49.839
 they must

00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:50.079
 have been

00:19:50.079 --> 00:19:50.519
 saying it

00:19:50.519 --> 00:19:50.819
 to one

00:19:50.819 --> 00:19:51.119
 another

00:19:51.119 --> 00:19:52.219
 for days

00:19:52.219 --> 00:19:52.779
 all week

00:19:52.779 --> 00:19:53.099
 long

00:19:53.099 --> 00:19:53.579
 if only

00:19:53.579 --> 00:19:54.019
 the Lord

00:19:54.019 --> 00:19:54.639
 were here

00:19:54.639 --> 00:19:56.299
 but Mary

00:19:56.299 --> 00:19:57.000
 in contrast

00:19:57.000 --> 00:19:57.699
 she doesn't

00:19:57.699 --> 00:19:58.019
 want to

00:19:58.019 --> 00:19:58.779
 talk theology

00:19:58.779 --> 00:19:59.339
 she doesn't

00:19:59.339 --> 00:19:59.619
 want to

00:19:59.619 --> 00:20:00.039
 talk the

00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:00.319
 truth

00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:00.799
 with Jesus

00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:01.279
 she's

00:20:01.279 --> 00:20:01.679
 so

00:20:01.679 --> 00:20:02.679
 stricken

00:20:02.679 --> 00:20:03.259
 with grief

00:20:03.259 --> 00:20:03.779
 that all

00:20:03.779 --> 00:20:04.240
 she can

00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:04.500
 do

00:20:04.500 --> 00:20:05.159
 is throw

00:20:05.159 --> 00:20:05.740
 herself

00:20:05.740 --> 00:20:06.319
 down

00:20:06.319 --> 00:20:06.579
 on the

00:20:06.579 --> 00:20:07.139
 ground

00:20:07.139 --> 00:20:07.439
 at his

00:20:07.439 --> 00:20:07.980
 feet

00:20:07.980 --> 00:20:09.779
 and some

00:20:09.779 --> 00:20:10.059
 of us

00:20:10.059 --> 00:20:10.439
 know what

00:20:10.439 --> 00:20:11.179
 that means

00:20:11.179 --> 00:20:12.879
 some of us

00:20:12.879 --> 00:20:13.259
 know what

00:20:13.259 --> 00:20:13.579
 it means

00:20:13.579 --> 00:20:14.339
 to be so

00:20:14.339 --> 00:20:15.259
 sad

00:20:15.259 --> 00:20:15.700
 and so

00:20:15.700 --> 00:20:16.240
 broken

00:20:16.240 --> 00:20:16.720
 that all

00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:17.019
 you can

00:20:17.019 --> 00:20:17.299
 do is

00:20:17.299 --> 00:20:17.980
 just crumble

00:20:17.980 --> 00:20:18.500
 up in a

00:20:18.500 --> 00:20:18.859
 pile

00:20:18.859 --> 00:20:19.879
 and in a

00:20:19.879 --> 00:20:20.220
 puddle

00:20:20.220 --> 00:20:21.059
 of tears

00:20:21.059 --> 00:20:23.119
 but look

00:20:23.119 --> 00:20:23.419
 at verse

00:20:23.419 --> 00:20:24.159
 35

00:20:24.159 --> 00:20:25.599
 kids

00:20:25.599 --> 00:20:26.059
 this is a

00:20:26.059 --> 00:20:26.539
 great one

00:20:26.539 --> 00:20:26.839
 if your

00:20:26.839 --> 00:20:27.480
 parents want

00:20:27.480 --> 00:20:28.059
 you to do

00:20:28.059 --> 00:20:28.579
 some scripture

00:20:28.579 --> 00:20:28.980
 memory

00:20:28.980 --> 00:20:30.360
 I recommend

00:20:30.360 --> 00:20:31.339
 starting here

00:20:31.339 --> 00:20:34.579
 what does

00:20:34.579 --> 00:20:34.960
 it say

00:20:34.960 --> 00:20:35.319
 it says

00:20:35.319 --> 00:20:35.900
 Jesus

00:20:35.900 --> 00:20:36.700
 wept

00:20:36.700 --> 00:20:38.900
 my son

00:20:38.900 --> 00:20:39.279
 Walter

00:20:39.279 --> 00:20:40.039
 was reflecting

00:20:40.039 --> 00:20:40.420
 on this

00:20:40.420 --> 00:20:40.920
 verse a few

00:20:40.920 --> 00:20:41.259
 weeks ago

00:20:41.259 --> 00:20:41.519
 he said

00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:41.860
 dad

00:20:41.860 --> 00:20:42.279
 isn't it

00:20:42.279 --> 00:20:42.860
 amazing

00:20:42.860 --> 00:20:43.880
 that the

00:20:43.880 --> 00:20:44.599
 most powerful

00:20:44.599 --> 00:20:45.279
 person in

00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:46.019
 the universe

00:20:46.019 --> 00:20:47.839
 cries like

00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:48.259
 us

00:20:48.259 --> 00:20:49.920
 and that he

00:20:49.920 --> 00:20:50.620
 cries with

00:20:50.620 --> 00:20:51.000
 us

00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:53.700
 it is

00:20:53.700 --> 00:20:54.140
 amazing

00:20:54.140 --> 00:20:55.839
 it's amazing

00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:56.180
 that he

00:20:56.180 --> 00:20:56.960
 shares our

00:20:56.960 --> 00:20:57.480
 tears

00:20:57.480 --> 00:20:59.220
 and what's

00:20:59.220 --> 00:20:59.579
 amazing

00:20:59.579 --> 00:20:59.980
 is that

00:20:59.980 --> 00:21:00.279
 he's

00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:00.720
 deeply

00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:01.259
 moved

00:21:01.259 --> 00:21:01.460
 and

00:21:01.460 --> 00:21:01.860
 troubled

00:21:01.860 --> 00:21:02.339
 with

00:21:02.339 --> 00:21:02.740
 us

00:21:02.740 --> 00:21:03.500
 in

00:21:03.500 --> 00:21:03.720
 verse

00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:04.259
 33

00:21:04.259 --> 00:21:05.240
 it

00:21:05.240 --> 00:21:05.539
 says

00:21:05.539 --> 00:21:05.839
 that

00:21:05.839 --> 00:21:07.000
 when

00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:07.299
 Jesus

00:21:07.299 --> 00:21:07.920
 saw her

00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:08.400
 weeping

00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:08.819
 and the

00:21:08.819 --> 00:21:09.140
 Jews

00:21:09.140 --> 00:21:09.420
 who had

00:21:09.420 --> 00:21:09.940
 come along

00:21:09.940 --> 00:21:10.299
 with her

00:21:10.299 --> 00:21:10.759
 also

00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:11.200
 weeping

00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:11.940
 he was

00:21:11.940 --> 00:21:12.319
 deeply

00:21:12.319 --> 00:21:12.740
 moved

00:21:12.740 --> 00:21:13.319
 in spirit

00:21:13.319 --> 00:21:13.960
 and

00:21:13.960 --> 00:21:14.360
 troubled

00:21:14.360 --> 00:21:15.900
 we could

00:21:15.900 --> 00:21:16.140
 also

00:21:16.140 --> 00:21:16.559
 interpret

00:21:16.559 --> 00:21:16.860
 that

00:21:16.860 --> 00:21:17.039
 that

00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:17.220
 he

00:21:17.220 --> 00:21:17.440
 was

00:21:17.440 --> 00:21:18.299
 outraged

00:21:18.299 --> 00:21:18.620
 and

00:21:18.620 --> 00:21:19.039
 grief

00:21:19.039 --> 00:21:19.799
 stricken

00:21:19.799 --> 00:21:21.099
 and if

00:21:21.099 --> 00:21:21.380
 you know

00:21:21.380 --> 00:21:21.740
 anything

00:21:21.740 --> 00:21:22.140
 about

00:21:22.140 --> 00:21:22.920
 bereavement

00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:23.519
 you know

00:21:23.519 --> 00:21:24.259
 that tears

00:21:24.259 --> 00:21:24.860
 and anger

00:21:24.860 --> 00:21:25.440
 often

00:21:25.440 --> 00:21:26.319
 flow

00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:26.940
 together

00:21:26.940 --> 00:21:28.600
 Jesus

00:21:28.600 --> 00:21:29.059
 I think

00:21:29.059 --> 00:21:29.940
 is outraged

00:21:29.940 --> 00:21:30.259
 why

00:21:30.259 --> 00:21:30.840
 because

00:21:30.840 --> 00:21:31.840
 is he

00:21:31.840 --> 00:21:32.480
 seeing

00:21:32.480 --> 00:21:33.900
 the raw

00:21:33.900 --> 00:21:34.539
 havoc

00:21:34.539 --> 00:21:35.820
 that

00:21:35.820 --> 00:21:36.440
 suffering

00:21:36.440 --> 00:21:37.220
 and sin

00:21:37.220 --> 00:21:38.420
 wreak

00:21:38.420 --> 00:21:38.860
 on our

00:21:38.860 --> 00:21:39.400
 lives

00:21:39.400 --> 00:21:41.120
 as we

00:21:41.120 --> 00:21:41.980
 encounter

00:21:41.980 --> 00:21:42.519
 death

00:21:42.519 --> 00:21:44.019
 is Jesus

00:21:44.019 --> 00:21:45.279
 looking down

00:21:45.279 --> 00:21:46.000
 the corridors

00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:47.059
 of time

00:21:47.059 --> 00:21:47.700
 looking down

00:21:47.700 --> 00:21:48.140
 through the

00:21:48.140 --> 00:21:48.580
 centuries

00:21:48.580 --> 00:21:49.160
 at all the

00:21:49.160 --> 00:21:49.559
 tombs

00:21:49.559 --> 00:21:50.039
 and all the

00:21:50.039 --> 00:21:50.559
 funerals

00:21:50.559 --> 00:21:51.019
 of all of

00:21:51.019 --> 00:21:51.519
 his beloved

00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:52.039
 people

00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:53.700
 unable to

00:21:53.700 --> 00:21:54.380
 hold back

00:21:54.380 --> 00:21:55.120
 his tears

00:21:55.119 --> 00:21:56.239
 as he

00:21:56.239 --> 00:21:56.719
 sees his

00:21:56.719 --> 00:21:57.019
 loved

00:21:57.019 --> 00:21:57.439
 ones

00:21:57.439 --> 00:21:58.219
 losing

00:21:58.219 --> 00:21:58.459
 their

00:21:58.459 --> 00:21:58.719
 loved

00:21:58.719 --> 00:21:59.139
 ones

00:21:59.139 --> 00:22:00.339
 I

00:22:00.339 --> 00:22:00.500
 think

00:22:00.500 --> 00:22:00.799
 Jesus

00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:01.039
 is

00:22:01.039 --> 00:22:01.579
 outraged

00:22:01.579 --> 00:22:01.919
 in this

00:22:01.919 --> 00:22:02.199
 moment

00:22:02.199 --> 00:22:02.519
 because

00:22:02.519 --> 00:22:02.739
 he

00:22:02.739 --> 00:22:03.139
 sees

00:22:03.139 --> 00:22:03.919
 all the

00:22:03.919 --> 00:22:04.299
 tears

00:22:04.299 --> 00:22:04.500
 of

00:22:04.500 --> 00:22:04.879
 Christian

00:22:04.879 --> 00:22:05.319
 people

00:22:05.319 --> 00:22:06.639
 and he

00:22:06.639 --> 00:22:07.059
 knows

00:22:07.059 --> 00:22:07.459
 that the

00:22:07.459 --> 00:22:08.079
 turmoil

00:22:08.079 --> 00:22:08.659
 and the

00:22:08.659 --> 00:22:09.039
 bitterness

00:22:09.039 --> 00:22:09.599
 that's in

00:22:09.599 --> 00:22:10.079
 the heart

00:22:10.079 --> 00:22:10.919
 of this

00:22:10.919 --> 00:22:11.379
 family

00:22:11.379 --> 00:22:11.919
 at this

00:22:11.919 --> 00:22:12.479
 particular

00:22:12.479 --> 00:22:13.279
 graveside

00:22:13.279 --> 00:22:13.639
 is going

00:22:13.639 --> 00:22:13.959
 to be

00:22:13.959 --> 00:22:14.459
 repeated

00:22:14.459 --> 00:22:15.319
 countless

00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:15.879
 numbers

00:22:15.879 --> 00:22:16.519
 of times

00:22:16.519 --> 00:22:16.879
 through

00:22:16.879 --> 00:22:17.379
 Christian

00:22:17.379 --> 00:22:17.879
 history

00:22:17.879 --> 00:22:19.159
 and that

00:22:19.159 --> 00:22:19.819
 question

00:22:19.819 --> 00:22:20.379
 of verse

00:22:20.379 --> 00:22:21.000
 37

00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:22.220
 is going

00:22:22.220 --> 00:22:22.500
 to be

00:22:22.500 --> 00:22:22.819
 asked

00:22:22.819 --> 00:22:23.380
 over

00:22:23.380 --> 00:22:24.299
 and over

00:22:24.299 --> 00:22:25.259
 again

00:22:25.259 --> 00:22:25.980
 Lord

00:22:25.980 --> 00:22:26.519
 where

00:22:26.519 --> 00:22:26.839
 were

00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:27.160
 you

00:22:27.160 --> 00:22:28.559
 if

00:22:28.559 --> 00:22:28.839
 only

00:22:28.839 --> 00:22:29.059
 you

00:22:29.059 --> 00:22:29.240
 had

00:22:29.240 --> 00:22:29.440
 been

00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:29.660
 here

00:22:29.660 --> 00:22:29.880
 my

00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:30.180
 loved

00:22:30.180 --> 00:22:30.480
 one

00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:30.799
 would

00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:31.160
 not

00:22:31.160 --> 00:22:31.660
 have

00:22:31.660 --> 00:22:32.039
 died

00:22:32.039 --> 00:22:33.440
 and

00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:33.759
 Jesus

00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:34.559
 knows

00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:34.900
 that in

00:22:34.900 --> 00:22:35.339
 the future

00:22:35.339 --> 00:22:35.880
 he will

00:22:35.880 --> 00:22:36.460
 not do

00:22:36.460 --> 00:22:38.660
 what he's

00:22:38.660 --> 00:22:39.019
 going to do

00:22:39.019 --> 00:22:39.799
 for Lazarus

00:22:39.799 --> 00:22:40.299
 in each

00:22:40.299 --> 00:22:40.799
 case

00:22:40.799 --> 00:22:42.460
 that despite

00:22:42.460 --> 00:22:43.140
 the fact

00:22:43.140 --> 00:22:43.559
 that he

00:22:43.559 --> 00:22:44.059
 wins

00:22:44.059 --> 00:22:44.980
 the victory

00:22:44.980 --> 00:22:45.539
 over death

00:22:45.539 --> 00:22:46.079
 at Easter

00:22:46.079 --> 00:22:46.880
 death

00:22:46.880 --> 00:22:47.539
 will continue

00:22:47.539 --> 00:22:48.220
 to cause

00:22:48.220 --> 00:22:48.539
 us

00:22:48.539 --> 00:22:49.240
 intense

00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:50.259
 grief

00:22:50.259 --> 00:22:51.960
 and so

00:22:51.960 --> 00:22:52.240
 he's

00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:52.859
 outraged

00:22:52.859 --> 00:22:54.259
 and he's

00:22:54.259 --> 00:22:55.000
 grief stricken

00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:56.140
 at the

00:22:56.140 --> 00:22:56.559
 prospect

00:22:56.559 --> 00:22:56.940
 of this

00:22:56.940 --> 00:22:57.379
 pattern

00:22:57.379 --> 00:22:58.000
 repeating

00:22:58.000 --> 00:22:58.579
 itself

00:22:58.579 --> 00:22:59.379
 down

00:22:59.379 --> 00:22:59.559
 the

00:22:59.559 --> 00:23:00.019
 ages

00:23:00.019 --> 00:23:02.160
 so

00:23:02.160 --> 00:23:02.420
 friends

00:23:02.420 --> 00:23:03.000
 I hope

00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:03.240
 you can

00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:03.740
 see here

00:23:03.740 --> 00:23:03.980
 that

00:23:03.980 --> 00:23:05.539
 John 11's

00:23:38.019 --> 00:23:38.380
 with those

00:23:38.380 --> 00:23:38.519
 who

00:23:38.519 --> 00:23:38.720
 weep

00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:39.039
 in fact

00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:39.259
 I would

00:23:39.259 --> 00:23:39.400
 say

00:23:39.400 --> 00:23:39.799
 that our

00:23:39.799 --> 00:23:40.340
 visits

00:23:40.340 --> 00:23:41.100
 and the

00:23:41.100 --> 00:23:41.519
 tears

00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:41.759
 of

00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:42.160
 Christians

00:23:42.160 --> 00:23:43.039
 are one

00:23:43.039 --> 00:23:43.259
 of the

00:23:43.259 --> 00:23:43.559
 major

00:23:43.559 --> 00:23:43.960
 ways

00:23:43.960 --> 00:23:44.180
 the

00:23:44.180 --> 00:23:44.559
 world

00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:45.200
 can

00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:45.779
 experience

00:23:45.779 --> 00:23:46.200
 God

00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:47.039
 today

00:23:47.039 --> 00:23:48.500
 amen

00:23:48.500 --> 00:23:49.980
 so

00:23:49.980 --> 00:23:50.279
 Jesus

00:23:50.279 --> 00:23:50.660
 gives

00:23:50.660 --> 00:23:50.980
 us

00:23:50.980 --> 00:23:51.940
 tombstone

00:23:51.940 --> 00:23:52.440
 truth

00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:54.039
 and

00:23:54.039 --> 00:23:54.660
 graveside

00:23:54.660 --> 00:23:55.059
 grace

00:23:55.059 --> 00:23:55.599
 but finally

00:23:55.599 --> 00:23:55.980
 he also

00:23:55.980 --> 00:23:56.559
 gives us

00:23:56.559 --> 00:23:57.319
 primal

00:23:57.319 --> 00:23:57.759
 power

00:23:57.759 --> 00:23:59.720
 the

00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:00.200
 prologue

00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:00.440
 of this

00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:00.740
 gospel

00:24:00.740 --> 00:24:01.240
 we learn

00:24:01.240 --> 00:24:01.720
 that Jesus

00:24:01.720 --> 00:24:02.339
 came from

00:24:02.339 --> 00:24:02.759
 the father

00:24:02.759 --> 00:24:03.200
 full of

00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:03.500
 grace

00:24:03.500 --> 00:24:04.099
 and truth

00:24:04.099 --> 00:24:05.940
 but

00:24:05.940 --> 00:24:08.039
 he doesn't

00:24:08.039 --> 00:24:08.640
 just tell us

00:24:08.640 --> 00:24:09.099
 he's full of

00:24:09.099 --> 00:24:09.500
 grace and

00:24:09.500 --> 00:24:09.740
 truth

00:24:09.740 --> 00:24:10.160
 he gives

00:24:10.160 --> 00:24:10.400
 us

00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:10.960
 a visual

00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:11.380
 aid

00:24:11.380 --> 00:24:12.840
 in verse

00:24:12.840 --> 00:24:13.420
 39

00:24:13.420 --> 00:24:15.160
 we read

00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:18.340
 take away

00:24:18.340 --> 00:24:18.860
 the stone

00:24:18.860 --> 00:24:19.420
 he said

00:24:19.420 --> 00:24:21.280
 but lord

00:24:21.280 --> 00:24:21.680
 said

00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:22.060
 Martha

00:24:22.060 --> 00:24:23.020
 the sister

00:24:23.020 --> 00:24:23.260
 of the

00:24:23.260 --> 00:24:23.460
 dead

00:24:23.460 --> 00:24:23.640
 man

00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:24.040
 by this

00:24:24.040 --> 00:24:24.300
 time

00:24:24.300 --> 00:24:24.560
 there is

00:24:24.560 --> 00:24:25.000
 a bad

00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:25.360
 odor

00:24:25.360 --> 00:24:25.760
 for he

00:24:25.760 --> 00:24:26.080
 has been

00:24:26.080 --> 00:24:26.360
 there

00:24:26.360 --> 00:24:27.100
 four

00:24:27.100 --> 00:24:27.600
 days

00:24:27.600 --> 00:24:29.140
 now I

00:24:29.140 --> 00:24:29.480
 love the

00:24:29.480 --> 00:24:29.960
 old

00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:31.160
 King James

00:24:31.160 --> 00:24:31.500
 version

00:24:31.500 --> 00:24:31.960
 because

00:24:31.960 --> 00:24:32.320
 Martha

00:24:32.320 --> 00:24:32.700
 says

00:24:32.700 --> 00:24:32.940
 there

00:24:32.940 --> 00:24:34.240
 but lord

00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:35.220
 he stinketh

00:24:35.220 --> 00:24:38.120
 he stinketh

00:24:38.120 --> 00:24:39.320
 and that

00:24:39.320 --> 00:24:39.780
 just tips

00:24:39.779 --> 00:24:40.279
 me off

00:24:40.279 --> 00:24:40.619
 that the

00:24:40.619 --> 00:24:40.960
 gospel

00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:41.440
 is about

00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:41.759
 turning

00:24:41.759 --> 00:24:42.279
 tragedy

00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:42.559
 into

00:24:42.559 --> 00:24:42.980
 comedy

00:24:42.980 --> 00:24:43.480
 right

00:24:43.480 --> 00:24:44.639
 lord

00:24:44.639 --> 00:24:45.240
 he

00:24:45.240 --> 00:24:45.899
 stinketh

00:24:45.899 --> 00:24:47.240
 and Jesus

00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:47.579
 says

00:24:47.579 --> 00:24:48.039
 well did I

00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:48.680
 not tell you

00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:49.099
 that if you

00:24:49.099 --> 00:24:49.539
 believe

00:24:49.539 --> 00:24:50.200
 you will see

00:24:50.200 --> 00:24:50.639
 the glory

00:24:50.639 --> 00:24:51.180
 of God

00:24:51.180 --> 00:24:52.799
 and then

00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:53.180
 down in

00:24:53.180 --> 00:24:53.819
 verse 43

00:24:53.819 --> 00:24:54.399
 he called

00:24:54.399 --> 00:24:54.759
 out in a

00:24:54.759 --> 00:24:55.240
 loud voice

00:24:55.240 --> 00:24:55.799
 Lazarus

00:24:55.799 --> 00:24:56.180
 come out

00:24:56.180 --> 00:24:56.379
 and the

00:24:56.379 --> 00:24:56.579
 dead

00:24:56.579 --> 00:24:56.759
 man

00:24:56.759 --> 00:24:57.399
 came out

00:24:57.399 --> 00:24:58.480
 his hands

00:24:58.480 --> 00:24:58.839
 and feet

00:24:58.839 --> 00:24:59.220
 wrapped

00:24:59.220 --> 00:24:59.680
 with strips

00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:00.000
 of linen

00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:00.259
 and a

00:25:00.259 --> 00:25:00.539
 cloth

00:25:00.539 --> 00:25:01.099
 around his

00:25:01.099 --> 00:25:01.460
 face

00:25:01.460 --> 00:25:02.240
 and Jesus

00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:02.639
 said to

00:25:02.639 --> 00:25:02.799
 them

00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:03.299
 take off

00:25:03.299 --> 00:25:03.720
 the grave

00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:04.160
 clothes

00:25:04.160 --> 00:25:05.420
 and let

00:25:05.420 --> 00:25:05.899
 him go

00:25:05.899 --> 00:25:07.740
 now this

00:25:07.740 --> 00:25:07.980
 is a

00:25:07.980 --> 00:25:08.240
 heart

00:25:08.240 --> 00:25:08.720
 stopping

00:25:08.720 --> 00:25:09.299
 glorious

00:25:09.299 --> 00:25:09.799
 moment

00:25:09.799 --> 00:25:11.379
 because an

00:25:11.379 --> 00:25:12.000
 immovable

00:25:12.000 --> 00:25:12.919
 object

00:25:12.919 --> 00:25:14.839
 meets with

00:25:14.839 --> 00:25:14.980
 an

00:25:14.980 --> 00:25:15.659
 irresistible

00:25:15.659 --> 00:25:16.220
 force

00:25:16.220 --> 00:25:18.099
 death

00:25:18.099 --> 00:25:19.240
 meets

00:25:19.240 --> 00:25:20.000
 Christ

00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:21.919
 and Christ

00:25:21.919 --> 00:25:23.139
 conquers

00:25:23.139 --> 00:25:25.139
 this is a

00:25:25.139 --> 00:25:25.839
 power that

00:25:25.839 --> 00:25:26.659
 should drive

00:25:26.659 --> 00:25:27.159
 us to

00:25:27.159 --> 00:25:27.659
 awe

00:25:27.659 --> 00:25:29.399
 and thanks

00:25:29.399 --> 00:25:30.899
 and hope

00:25:30.899 --> 00:25:31.399
 this is a

00:25:31.399 --> 00:25:31.940
 power that

00:25:31.940 --> 00:25:32.240
 should be

00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:32.819
 the center

00:25:32.819 --> 00:25:33.779
 of our

00:25:33.779 --> 00:25:34.319
 philosophy

00:25:34.319 --> 00:25:34.980
 of life

00:25:34.980 --> 00:25:37.400
 now if

00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:37.740
 you think

00:25:37.740 --> 00:25:38.079
 about it

00:25:38.079 --> 00:25:38.440
 there are

00:25:38.440 --> 00:25:39.380
 most likely

00:25:39.380 --> 00:25:40.140
 other newly

00:25:40.140 --> 00:25:40.880
 buried people

00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:41.240
 in this

00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:41.559
 tomb

00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:41.920
 and so

00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:42.180
 it's a

00:25:42.180 --> 00:25:42.539
 good thing

00:25:42.539 --> 00:25:43.000
 that Jesus

00:25:43.000 --> 00:25:43.940
 said the

00:25:43.940 --> 00:25:44.140
 name

00:25:44.140 --> 00:25:44.720
 Lazarus

00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:45.019
 otherwise

00:25:45.019 --> 00:25:45.799
 many people

00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:46.059
 would have

00:25:46.059 --> 00:25:47.140
 come out

00:25:47.140 --> 00:25:48.700
 Jesus

00:25:48.700 --> 00:25:48.880
 would have

00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:49.220
 been like

00:25:49.220 --> 00:25:49.839
 no Kevin

00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:50.500
 I'm sorry

00:25:50.500 --> 00:25:52.019
 not you

00:25:52.019 --> 00:25:55.120
 not now

00:25:55.120 --> 00:25:55.640
 at least

00:25:55.640 --> 00:25:57.019
 but there

00:25:57.019 --> 00:25:57.500
 is a

00:25:57.500 --> 00:25:57.799
 kind of

00:25:57.799 --> 00:25:58.319
 miracle

00:25:58.319 --> 00:25:58.960
 within a

00:25:58.960 --> 00:25:59.259
 miracle

00:25:59.259 --> 00:25:59.579
 here

00:25:59.579 --> 00:25:59.819
 that

00:25:59.819 --> 00:26:00.339
 Lazarus

00:26:00.339 --> 00:26:00.579
 comes

00:26:00.579 --> 00:26:01.120
 stumbling

00:26:01.120 --> 00:26:01.480
 out

00:26:01.480 --> 00:26:01.860
 somehow

00:26:01.860 --> 00:26:02.559
 wrapped up

00:26:02.559 --> 00:26:02.879
 in his

00:26:02.879 --> 00:26:03.240
 burial

00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:04.200
 clothes

00:26:04.200 --> 00:26:04.960
 I mean

00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:05.240
 we don't

00:26:05.240 --> 00:26:05.419
 know

00:26:05.419 --> 00:26:05.700
 really

00:26:05.700 --> 00:26:05.980
 how

00:26:05.980 --> 00:26:06.159
 he

00:26:06.159 --> 00:26:06.339
 did

00:26:06.339 --> 00:26:06.679
 that

00:26:06.679 --> 00:26:08.759
 Jesus

00:26:08.759 --> 00:26:09.200
 doesn't

00:26:09.200 --> 00:26:09.519
 bring him

00:26:09.519 --> 00:26:09.799
 out in

00:26:09.799 --> 00:26:10.159
 pristine

00:26:10.159 --> 00:26:10.700
 condition

00:26:10.700 --> 00:26:11.980
 he gets

00:26:11.980 --> 00:26:12.559
 his friends

00:26:12.559 --> 00:26:12.980
 involved

00:26:12.980 --> 00:26:13.359
 and I think

00:26:13.359 --> 00:26:13.659
 that's a

00:26:13.659 --> 00:26:14.139
 little picture

00:26:14.139 --> 00:26:14.460
 of the

00:26:14.460 --> 00:26:14.720
 mission

00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:15.000
 of the

00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:15.259
 church

00:26:15.259 --> 00:26:15.819
 he says

00:26:15.819 --> 00:26:16.700
 to his

00:26:16.700 --> 00:26:17.179
 disciples

00:26:17.179 --> 00:26:17.659
 around him

00:26:17.659 --> 00:26:18.159
 take off

00:26:18.159 --> 00:26:18.559
 the grave

00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:18.919
 clothes

00:26:18.919 --> 00:26:19.299
 and let

00:26:19.299 --> 00:26:19.599
 him go

00:26:19.599 --> 00:26:20.000
 free

00:26:20.000 --> 00:26:21.319
 and that's

00:26:21.319 --> 00:26:21.700
 really kind

00:26:21.700 --> 00:26:22.000
 of our

00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:22.359
 job

00:26:22.359 --> 00:26:22.799
 with each

00:26:22.799 --> 00:26:23.019
 other

00:26:23.019 --> 00:26:23.539
 you're not

00:26:23.539 --> 00:26:23.839
 dead

00:26:23.839 --> 00:26:24.259
 anymore

00:26:24.259 --> 00:26:24.599
 you're

00:26:24.599 --> 00:26:25.159
 alive

00:26:25.159 --> 00:26:25.960
 you need

00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:26.220
 to go

00:26:26.220 --> 00:26:26.500
 free

00:26:26.500 --> 00:26:27.039
 and walk

00:26:27.039 --> 00:26:27.460
 and follow

00:26:27.460 --> 00:26:27.879
 Jesus

00:26:27.879 --> 00:26:29.779
 but how

00:26:29.779 --> 00:26:30.240
 did Jesus

00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:30.899
 reveal the

00:26:30.899 --> 00:26:31.339
 glory of

00:26:31.339 --> 00:26:31.619
 God

00:26:31.619 --> 00:26:32.119
 how did he

00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:33.019
 life out

00:26:33.019 --> 00:26:33.480
 of death

00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:34.619
 we're told

00:26:34.619 --> 00:26:35.500
 in the story

00:26:35.500 --> 00:26:35.940
 that he did

00:26:35.940 --> 00:26:36.220
 it through

00:26:36.220 --> 00:26:36.700
 prayer

00:26:36.700 --> 00:26:39.359
 verse 41

00:26:39.359 --> 00:26:40.539
 then Jesus

00:26:40.539 --> 00:26:41.079
 looked up

00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:41.440
 and said

00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:41.919
 father

00:26:41.919 --> 00:26:43.460
 I thank

00:26:43.460 --> 00:26:43.799
 you that

00:26:43.799 --> 00:26:44.099
 you have

00:26:44.099 --> 00:26:44.579
 heard me

00:26:44.579 --> 00:26:45.679
 I knew

00:26:45.679 --> 00:26:46.019
 that you

00:26:46.019 --> 00:26:46.639
 always

00:26:46.639 --> 00:26:47.720
 hear me

00:26:47.720 --> 00:26:49.839
 Jesus I

00:26:49.839 --> 00:26:50.419
 think invites

00:26:50.419 --> 00:26:51.079
 us to pray

00:26:51.079 --> 00:26:51.659
 like him

00:26:51.659 --> 00:26:52.720
 to look

00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:53.119
 up

00:26:53.119 --> 00:26:54.639
 to open

00:26:54.639 --> 00:26:55.179
 our eyes

00:26:55.179 --> 00:26:55.639
 to talk

00:26:55.639 --> 00:26:56.259
 straight to

00:26:56.259 --> 00:26:56.799
 our father

00:26:56.799 --> 00:26:57.259
 in heaven

00:26:57.259 --> 00:26:57.740
 to say

00:26:57.740 --> 00:26:58.259
 thank you

00:26:58.259 --> 00:26:58.679
 so much

00:26:58.679 --> 00:26:59.720
 for hearing

00:26:59.720 --> 00:27:00.200
 us

00:27:00.200 --> 00:27:00.599
 and he

00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:01.139
 invites us

00:27:01.139 --> 00:27:01.619
 to pray

00:27:01.619 --> 00:27:02.200
 and ask

00:27:02.200 --> 00:27:02.500
 God

00:27:02.500 --> 00:27:03.740
 to hold

00:27:03.740 --> 00:27:04.180
 at bay

00:27:04.180 --> 00:27:04.720
 the forces

00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:05.220
 of death

00:27:05.220 --> 00:27:05.539
 and to

00:27:05.539 --> 00:27:06.000
 cause

00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:06.640
 life

00:27:06.640 --> 00:27:07.220
 to triumph

00:27:07.220 --> 00:27:07.880
 over death

00:27:07.880 --> 00:27:08.120
 and we

00:27:08.120 --> 00:27:08.640
 should try

00:27:08.640 --> 00:27:09.299
 to pray

00:27:09.299 --> 00:27:09.779
 this way

00:27:09.779 --> 00:27:11.319
 we should

00:27:11.319 --> 00:27:11.860
 try to pray

00:27:11.860 --> 00:27:12.440
 like Jesus

00:27:12.440 --> 00:27:13.140
 for the war

00:27:13.140 --> 00:27:13.740
 in Ukraine

00:27:13.740 --> 00:27:15.539
 for strained

00:27:15.539 --> 00:27:16.160
 marriages

00:27:16.160 --> 00:27:17.180
 for troubled

00:27:17.180 --> 00:27:17.940
 youth

00:27:17.940 --> 00:27:18.759
 for broken

00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:19.380
 hearts

00:27:19.380 --> 00:27:20.580
 for gospel

00:27:20.580 --> 00:27:21.120
 breakthrough

00:27:21.120 --> 00:27:21.539
 we should

00:27:21.539 --> 00:27:22.240
 ask God

00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:22.920
 would you

00:27:22.920 --> 00:27:23.960
 let life

00:27:23.960 --> 00:27:24.420
 triumph

00:27:24.420 --> 00:27:25.240
 over death

00:27:25.240 --> 00:27:27.200
 and Jesus

00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:27.580
 when he

00:27:27.580 --> 00:27:28.080
 thanks his

00:27:28.080 --> 00:27:28.420
 father

00:27:28.420 --> 00:27:28.960
 for hearing

00:27:28.960 --> 00:27:29.420
 his prayer

00:27:29.420 --> 00:27:30.100
 he's referring

00:27:30.099 --> 00:27:30.719
 to the fact

00:27:30.719 --> 00:27:31.119
 that he's

00:27:31.119 --> 00:27:31.740
 been praying

00:27:31.740 --> 00:27:32.879
 for Lazarus

00:27:32.879 --> 00:27:33.539
 for days

00:27:33.539 --> 00:27:35.399
 for days

00:27:35.399 --> 00:27:35.859
 before he

00:27:35.859 --> 00:27:36.259
 even got

00:27:36.259 --> 00:27:36.639
 to this

00:27:36.639 --> 00:27:36.939
 prayer

00:27:36.939 --> 00:27:37.399
 he's been

00:27:37.399 --> 00:27:37.859
 praying

00:27:37.859 --> 00:27:39.279
 that though

00:27:39.279 --> 00:27:39.899
 he die

00:27:39.899 --> 00:27:41.139
 he'd be

00:27:41.139 --> 00:27:41.519
 preserved

00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:42.279
 from corruption

00:27:42.279 --> 00:27:42.719
 that his

00:27:42.719 --> 00:27:43.379
 body in the

00:27:43.379 --> 00:27:43.639
 tomb

00:27:43.639 --> 00:27:43.980
 would be

00:27:43.980 --> 00:27:44.359
 whole

00:27:44.359 --> 00:27:44.879
 and complete

00:27:44.879 --> 00:27:45.379
 that he'd

00:27:45.379 --> 00:27:45.980
 be ready

00:27:45.980 --> 00:27:46.959
 to be

00:27:46.959 --> 00:27:47.240
 summoned

00:27:47.240 --> 00:27:47.619
 back

00:27:47.619 --> 00:27:48.419
 to life

00:27:48.419 --> 00:27:50.039
 and Jesus

00:27:50.039 --> 00:27:51.019
 prayers

00:27:51.019 --> 00:27:52.899
 are powerful

00:27:52.899 --> 00:27:54.859
 and we're

00:27:54.859 --> 00:27:55.359
 told in the

00:27:55.359 --> 00:27:55.799
 new testament

00:27:55.799 --> 00:27:56.439

00:27:56.439 --> 00:27:57.179
 prays for

00:27:57.179 --> 00:27:57.619
 us

00:27:57.619 --> 00:27:59.299
 Jesus

00:27:59.299 --> 00:28:00.059
 is praying

00:28:38.120 --> 00:28:38.580
 close

00:28:38.580 --> 00:28:39.539
 that Lazarus

00:28:39.539 --> 00:28:40.000
 is not

00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:40.460
 given a

 of his

00:28:45.140 --> 00:28:45.519
 tomb

00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:46.420

00:28:54.880 --> 00:28:55.320
 through his

00:28:55.320 --> 00:28:55.580
 grave

00:28:55.580 --> 00:28:55.980
 clothes

00:28:55.980 --> 00:28:57.320

00:28:57.320 --> 00:28:58.040
 just passed

00:28:58.040 --> 00:28:58.660
 through his

00:29:00.800 --> 00:29:01.660
 moved for

00:29:01.660 --> 00:29:02.320
 Jesus to

00:29:02.320 --> 00:29:02.660
 get out

00:29:02.660 --> 00:29:02.900
 it was

00:29:02.900 --> 00:29:03.300
 moved for

00:29:03.300 --> 00:29:03.760
 us to

00:29:03.760 --> 00:29:04.080
 get in

00:29:04.080 --> 00:29:04.440
 and see

00:29:04.440 --> 00:29:05.060
 that the

00:29:05.060 --> 00:29:05.260
 tomb

00:29:05.260 --> 00:29:05.760
 was empty

00:29:05.760 --> 00:29:07.060
 Jesus

00:29:07.060 --> 00:29:08.140
 has gone

00:29:08.140 --> 00:29:08.580
 through

00:29:08.580 --> 00:29:09.020
 death

00:29:09.020 --> 00:29:09.340
 and out

00:29:09.340 --> 00:29:09.680
 the other

00:29:09.680 --> 00:29:10.120
 side

00:29:10.120 --> 00:29:10.780
 into a

00:29:10.780 --> 00:29:11.360
 life that

00:29:11.360 --> 00:29:11.840
 can never

00:29:11.840 --> 00:29:12.220
 die

00:29:12.220 --> 00:29:12.780
 into an

00:29:12.780 --> 00:29:13.660
 indestructible

00:29:13.660 --> 00:29:14.520
 life

00:29:14.520 --> 00:29:16.700
 but Lazarus

00:29:16.700 --> 00:29:17.420
 merely comes

00:29:17.420 --> 00:29:18.000
 back to

00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:18.560
 ordinary

00:29:18.560 --> 00:29:19.980
 human life

00:29:19.980 --> 00:29:21.580
 the process

00:29:21.580 --> 00:29:22.040
 of death

00:29:22.040 --> 00:29:22.400
 has been

00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:23.100
 reversed for

00:29:23.100 --> 00:29:23.440
 him and

00:29:23.440 --> 00:29:23.920
 he's not

00:29:23.920 --> 00:29:24.280
 given

00:29:24.279 --> 00:29:25.019
 a new

00:29:25.019 --> 00:29:25.319
 body

00:29:25.319 --> 00:29:25.859
 which I

00:29:25.859 --> 00:29:26.299
 imagine

00:29:26.299 --> 00:29:27.220
 caused him

00:29:27.220 --> 00:29:27.579
 to feel

00:29:27.579 --> 00:29:27.920
 a little

00:29:27.920 --> 00:29:28.220
 bit

00:29:28.220 --> 00:29:29.160
 ambivalent

00:29:29.160 --> 00:29:29.639
 on this

00:29:29.639 --> 00:29:29.920
 day

00:29:29.920 --> 00:29:32.099
 yes I'm

00:29:32.099 --> 00:29:32.720
 glad to be

00:29:32.720 --> 00:29:33.259
 welcomed back

00:29:33.259 --> 00:29:33.599
 by my

00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:33.980
 sisters

00:29:33.980 --> 00:29:35.759
 yes I am

00:29:35.759 --> 00:29:36.259
 glad that

00:29:36.259 --> 00:29:37.099
 Jesus used

00:29:37.099 --> 00:29:37.740
 me to

00:29:37.740 --> 00:29:38.319
 convince the

00:29:38.319 --> 00:29:38.720
 world that

00:29:38.720 --> 00:29:39.099
 he's the

00:29:39.099 --> 00:29:39.399
 son of

00:29:39.399 --> 00:29:39.720
 God

00:29:39.720 --> 00:29:41.299
 but I

00:29:41.299 --> 00:29:41.700
 gotta say

00:29:41.700 --> 00:29:41.940
 I'm a

00:29:41.940 --> 00:29:42.039
 little

00:29:42.039 --> 00:29:42.519
 bummed

00:29:42.519 --> 00:29:44.039
 I'm a

00:29:44.039 --> 00:29:44.180
 little

00:29:44.180 --> 00:29:44.599
 bummed

00:29:44.599 --> 00:29:45.119
 to be

00:29:45.119 --> 00:29:45.559
 leaving

00:29:45.559 --> 00:29:45.779
 the

00:29:45.779 --> 00:29:46.220
 joys of

00:29:46.220 --> 00:29:46.460
 heaven

00:29:46.460 --> 00:29:46.899
 behind

00:29:46.899 --> 00:29:48.160
 I'm a

00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:48.319
 little

00:29:48.319 --> 00:29:48.839
 bummed

00:29:48.839 --> 00:29:49.660
 that I

00:29:49.660 --> 00:29:50.619
 gotta come

00:29:50.619 --> 00:29:51.039
 and face

00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:51.720
 disease and

00:29:51.720 --> 00:29:52.259
 dying all

00:29:52.259 --> 00:29:52.839
 over again

00:29:52.839 --> 00:29:53.980
 I'm a

00:29:53.980 --> 00:29:54.119
 little

00:29:54.119 --> 00:29:54.519
 bummed

00:29:54.519 --> 00:29:55.079
 because it's

00:29:55.079 --> 00:29:55.599
 bad enough

00:29:55.599 --> 00:29:55.960
 to die

00:29:55.960 --> 00:29:56.480
 once

00:29:56.480 --> 00:29:57.359
 right

00:29:57.359 --> 00:29:58.059
 for most

00:29:58.059 --> 00:29:58.339
 of us

00:29:58.339 --> 00:29:59.099
 one funeral

00:29:59.099 --> 00:30:00.220
 is sufficient

00:30:00.220 --> 00:30:00.740
 that's all

00:30:00.740 --> 00:30:01.220
 I want

00:30:01.220 --> 00:30:03.099
 why does

00:30:03.099 --> 00:30:03.660
 Jesus go

00:30:03.660 --> 00:30:03.960
 through the

00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:04.259
 trouble

00:30:04.259 --> 00:30:04.799
 with his

00:30:04.799 --> 00:30:05.079
 friend

00:30:05.079 --> 00:30:05.539
 Lazarus

00:30:05.539 --> 00:30:05.980
 why does

00:30:05.980 --> 00:30:06.559
 he bother

00:30:06.559 --> 00:30:07.220
 with this

00:30:07.220 --> 00:30:08.019
 because we're

00:30:08.019 --> 00:30:08.480
 told in

00:30:08.480 --> 00:30:09.200
 verse 53

00:30:09.200 --> 00:30:12.240
 from that

00:30:12.240 --> 00:30:12.840
 day on

00:30:12.840 --> 00:30:14.340
 they plotted

00:30:14.340 --> 00:30:15.080
 to take

00:30:15.080 --> 00:30:16.000
 his life

00:30:16.000 --> 00:30:18.500
 Jesus I

00:30:18.500 --> 00:30:19.480
 think conspires

00:30:19.480 --> 00:30:19.900
 with his

00:30:19.900 --> 00:30:20.819
 friend Lazarus

00:30:20.819 --> 00:30:22.620
 and he knows

00:30:22.620 --> 00:30:23.120
 that this is

00:30:23.120 --> 00:30:23.620
 going to be

00:30:23.620 --> 00:30:24.240
 the triggering

00:30:24.240 --> 00:30:24.740
 event

00:30:24.740 --> 00:30:25.400
 he knows

00:30:25.400 --> 00:30:26.080
 that if he

00:30:26.080 --> 00:30:26.660
 goes to

00:30:26.660 --> 00:30:27.200
 war with

00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:27.539
 death

00:30:27.539 --> 00:30:28.559
 Jesus is

00:30:28.559 --> 00:30:29.120
 signing his

00:30:29.120 --> 00:30:29.559
 own

00:30:29.559 --> 00:30:30.200
 death

00:30:30.200 --> 00:30:30.660
 warrant

00:30:30.660 --> 00:30:32.700
 no one's

00:30:32.700 --> 00:30:33.080
 gonna want

00:30:33.080 --> 00:30:33.600
 me around

00:30:33.600 --> 00:30:34.039
 anymore

00:30:34.039 --> 00:30:35.400
 this is

00:30:35.400 --> 00:30:35.960
 too much

00:30:35.960 --> 00:30:36.440
 power

00:30:36.440 --> 00:30:37.160
 this threatens

00:30:37.160 --> 00:30:37.920
 the powers

00:30:37.920 --> 00:30:38.600
 that be

00:30:38.599 --> 00:30:40.539
 if I

00:30:40.539 --> 00:30:41.159
 bring

00:30:41.159 --> 00:30:41.819
 Lazarus

00:30:41.819 --> 00:30:42.219
 out

00:30:42.219 --> 00:30:42.599
 I'm

00:30:42.599 --> 00:30:43.099
 essentially

00:30:43.099 --> 00:30:43.779
 burying

00:30:43.779 --> 00:30:44.459
 myself

00:30:44.459 --> 00:30:46.019
 if

00:30:46.019 --> 00:30:46.740
 Lazarus

00:30:46.740 --> 00:30:47.339
 is raised

00:30:47.339 --> 00:30:47.799
 I'm

00:30:47.799 --> 00:30:48.319
 gonna sink

00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:49.179
 if Lazarus

00:30:49.179 --> 00:30:49.500
 lives

00:30:49.500 --> 00:30:50.000
 then I

00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:50.500
 have to

00:30:50.500 --> 00:30:50.779
 die

00:30:50.779 --> 00:30:51.639
 but Jesus

00:30:51.639 --> 00:30:53.439
 is joyfully

00:30:53.439 --> 00:30:54.799
 going to

00:30:54.799 --> 00:30:55.179
 die

00:30:55.179 --> 00:30:56.639
 why

00:30:56.639 --> 00:30:57.319
 because he

00:30:57.319 --> 00:30:57.959
 knows

00:30:57.959 --> 00:30:59.159
 that the

00:30:59.159 --> 00:30:59.740
 resurrection

00:30:59.740 --> 00:31:00.419
 and the

00:31:00.419 --> 00:31:00.799
 life

00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:02.079
 must die

00:31:02.079 --> 00:31:03.259
 if he's

00:31:03.259 --> 00:31:03.619
 going to

00:31:03.619 --> 00:31:04.259
 destroy

00:31:04.259 --> 00:31:05.419
 the power

00:31:05.419 --> 00:31:06.319
 that death

00:31:06.319 --> 00:31:06.980
 holds

00:31:06.980 --> 00:31:08.059
 over us

00:31:08.059 --> 00:31:09.879
 Jesus

00:31:09.879 --> 00:31:11.500
 is going

00:31:11.500 --> 00:31:11.779
 to have

00:31:11.779 --> 00:31:12.099
 to go

00:31:12.099 --> 00:31:12.579
 into

00:31:12.579 --> 00:31:12.940
 death

00:31:12.940 --> 00:31:13.799
 and dismantle

00:31:13.799 --> 00:31:14.179
 it from

00:31:14.179 --> 00:31:14.919
 the inside

00:31:14.919 --> 00:31:15.359
 and so

00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:15.980
 the immortal

00:31:15.980 --> 00:31:16.519
 God

00:31:16.519 --> 00:31:17.940
 in the

00:31:17.940 --> 00:31:18.419
 flesh

00:31:18.419 --> 00:31:20.000
 joyfully

00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:20.559
 walks

00:31:20.559 --> 00:31:21.240
 into the

00:31:21.240 --> 00:31:21.720
 jaws

00:31:21.720 --> 00:31:22.819
 of death

00:31:22.819 --> 00:31:23.679
 on the

00:31:23.679 --> 00:31:24.119
 cross

00:31:24.119 --> 00:31:26.339
 for you

00:31:26.339 --> 00:31:28.039
 and for

00:31:28.039 --> 00:31:28.359
 me

00:31:28.359 --> 00:31:29.879
 to give

00:31:29.879 --> 00:31:30.519
 us life

00:31:30.519 --> 00:31:32.159
 life to

00:31:32.159 --> 00:31:32.579
 the full

00:31:32.579 --> 00:31:33.000
 life

00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:33.480
 abundant

00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:34.019
 life

00:31:34.019 --> 00:31:35.179
 everlasting

00:31:35.180 --> 00:31:35.740
 life

00:31:35.740 --> 00:31:36.279
 that can

00:31:36.279 --> 00:31:36.539
 never

00:31:36.539 --> 00:31:36.980
 die

00:31:36.980 --> 00:31:39.500
 do you

00:31:39.500 --> 00:31:39.799
 believe

00:31:39.799 --> 00:31:40.240
 this

00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:42.220
 that's

00:31:42.220 --> 00:31:42.700
 the question

00:31:42.700 --> 00:31:43.019
 that

00:31:43.019 --> 00:31:43.720
 Jesus

00:31:43.720 --> 00:31:44.400
 asked

00:31:44.400 --> 00:31:44.660
 to

00:31:44.660 --> 00:31:45.019
 Martha

00:31:45.019 --> 00:31:45.660
 do you

00:31:45.660 --> 00:31:46.620
 do you

00:31:46.620 --> 00:31:46.980
 believe

00:31:46.980 --> 00:31:47.360
 this

00:31:47.360 --> 00:31:47.600
 and

00:31:47.600 --> 00:31:48.240
 John

00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:48.980
 tells us

00:31:48.980 --> 00:31:49.720
 at the

00:31:49.720 --> 00:31:49.980
 end of

00:31:49.980 --> 00:31:50.140
 his

00:31:50.140 --> 00:31:50.560
 gospel

00:31:50.560 --> 00:31:52.120
 he says

00:31:52.120 --> 00:31:52.440
 in John

00:31:52.440 --> 00:31:52.740
 20

00:31:52.740 --> 00:31:53.240
 that Jesus

00:31:53.240 --> 00:31:53.740
 performed

00:31:53.740 --> 00:31:54.400
 many other

00:31:54.400 --> 00:31:54.960
 signs

00:31:54.960 --> 00:31:56.140
 in the

00:31:56.140 --> 00:31:56.420
 presence
