00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.800
 Let us now turn to the Gospel according to Mark, chapter 16, and reading again at verse 6.

00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:24.839
! And he said to them, that is, the angel said to the women, do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified.

00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:38.420
 Now here's a question for everyone. How many of us this evening came to this building seeking Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified?

00:00:39.740 --> 00:00:44.060
 Answer the question in the secrecy of your own heart.

00:00:44.060 --> 00:00:55.100
 He has risen. He is not here. See the place where they laid him.

00:00:56.100 --> 00:01:01.780
 And particularly the sentence, he has risen.

00:01:01.780 --> 00:01:14.680
 There is a biblical truth that states that humiliation brings exaltation.

00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:21.319
 From the teaching of Jesus, you may remember how he taught,

00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:29.719
 whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:35.679
 It is a theme that you find running through Scripture.

00:01:36.579 --> 00:01:47.659
 And we have read in chapter 15 of Mark's Gospel of part of the cosmic dimensions of Christ's humiliation.

00:01:47.659 --> 00:02:01.599
 And in chapter 16, Mark tells us how in an explosive moment, the grave could no longer hold Jesus of Nazareth.

00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:16.019
 If you are familiar with the Book of Acts, you may remember how that book tells of a conversation between a Roman governor by the name of Festus and King Agrippa.

00:02:16.020 --> 00:02:23.300
 Festus reported that Felix, another Roman governor, had left Paul imprisoned.

00:02:24.600 --> 00:02:33.160
 Festus stated that the Jews had certain points of dispute with Paul about their own religion.

00:02:33.160 --> 00:02:35.340
 And then he went on to state,

00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:43.600
 And about a certain Jesus who was dead, but whom Paul asserted to be alive.

00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:51.120
 That point of dispute is still contested to the present of.

00:02:52.120 --> 00:03:05.159
 It was something that the Apostle Paul argued strongly for because of its paramount significance to the Christian faith.

00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:11.639
 If it were disproved, that is, if the resurrection were disproved,

00:03:12.500 --> 00:03:16.539
 there would be no relevant Christian message to proclaim.

00:03:17.519 --> 00:03:23.519
 Resurrection is the hinge upon which the story of the world pivots.

00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:37.180
 You know, to claim that a person actually expired, was buried, and three days later again rose from the grave without any human intervention,

00:03:37.860 --> 00:03:41.040
 seems too fantastic and unbelievable.

00:03:42.040 --> 00:03:47.900
 Many at the time of the death of Jesus found it difficult to believe.

00:03:47.900 --> 00:03:56.180
 Yet, the factual, biblical evidence for the resurrection is substantial.

00:03:56.180 --> 00:03:57.500
 And that is important.

00:03:58.219 --> 00:04:01.460
 It is a bigger topic than one might think.

00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:06.819
 Not only has to do with the resurrection of Jesus Christ in the past,

00:04:06.819 --> 00:04:14.759
 The Christian doctrine of the resurrection includes the belief that Jesus rose from the dead,

00:04:15.519 --> 00:04:28.199
 but also that all believers who have slept in Jesus will also be raised when he comes in the glory and majesty of his second coming.

00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:33.000
 And that event has yet to take place.

00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:36.199
 Paul writing to the Thessalonians,

00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:43.339
 For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so through Jesus,

00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:47.000
 God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep.

00:04:47.379 --> 00:04:50.720
 For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord,

00:04:51.100 --> 00:04:55.019
 that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord,

00:04:55.540 --> 00:04:59.060
 will not precede those who have fallen asleep.

00:04:59.060 --> 00:05:04.160
 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command,

00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:06.680
 with the voice of an archangel,

00:05:07.339 --> 00:05:09.600
 the sound of the trumpet of God,

00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:13.920
 and the dead in Christ will rise first.

00:05:14.819 --> 00:05:17.600
 The second advent is the terminus,

00:05:17.899 --> 00:05:22.620
 the point at which everything is completed and consummated.

00:05:22.620 --> 00:05:27.100
 It is simultaneous with the resurrection of the dead,

00:05:27.100 --> 00:05:29.100
 the final judgment,

00:05:29.899 --> 00:05:32.980
 and the regeneration of heaven and earth.

00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:41.199
 The gospel writers were careful to report the fact of the resurrection.

00:05:42.019 --> 00:05:46.360
 Without it being a factual, supernatural event,

00:05:46.860 --> 00:05:50.819
 then there'd be really no point in the message of the gospel.

00:05:50.819 --> 00:05:53.079
 Without the resurrection,

00:05:53.819 --> 00:05:55.920
 Christian ministry is pointless.

00:05:57.199 --> 00:05:59.680
 Personal faith is ineffective.

00:06:00.579 --> 00:06:03.060
 God's character is called into question.

00:06:03.819 --> 00:06:06.860
 So you find that each of the four gospels

00:06:06.860 --> 00:06:11.300
 record something of the resurrection story.

00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:14.379
 Each gospel has its own emphasis,

00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:18.300
 and you could argue that each gospel is catering

00:06:18.300 --> 00:06:20.800
 for different groups of people.

00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:23.280
 For the early church,

00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:24.860
 the message,

00:06:25.520 --> 00:06:27.579
 the Lord has risen indeed,

00:06:28.259 --> 00:06:30.600
 was the message that excited,

00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:32.280
 inspired,

00:06:32.960 --> 00:06:36.360
 and filled them with anticipatory hope.

00:06:36.900 --> 00:06:39.040
 It was the joyous message

00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:41.980
 communicated by the two travelers

00:06:41.980 --> 00:06:44.300
 on the Emmaus Road,

00:06:44.980 --> 00:06:47.280
 who had such a marvelous encounter

00:06:47.280 --> 00:06:49.259
 with the risen Lord,

00:06:49.780 --> 00:06:51.680
 an encounter that lifted

00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:53.500
 their deep gloom,

00:06:54.200 --> 00:06:55.740
 filled them with renewed,

00:06:56.340 --> 00:06:57.379
 vibrant hope.

00:06:57.860 --> 00:07:00.720
 They had gone through the whole gamut

00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:02.600
 of great despair

00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:04.520
 and deep disappointment,

00:07:04.740 --> 00:07:06.980
 without even a glimmer of hope.

00:07:06.980 --> 00:07:09.300
 without the resurrection,

00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:11.540
 that deep darkness

00:07:11.540 --> 00:07:13.060
 would have remained.

00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:14.819
 The Saturday,

00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:18.560
 prior to the first day of the week

00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:21.080
 on which the Lord rose from the dead,

00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:23.800
 was for the followers of Jesus

00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:26.080
 a day of desolation,

00:07:27.060 --> 00:07:29.220
 a day of shattered dreams,

00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:30.759
 of gloom

00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:32.319
 and inertia.

00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:35.159
 For Mary at the cross,

00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:38.639
 a sword had pierced her soul.

00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:41.680
 Peter was probably paralyzed

00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:43.899
 and even tormented

00:07:43.899 --> 00:07:45.199
 by his denial

00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:48.040
 of the one whom he truly loved.

00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:49.680
 Think of John,

00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:51.019
 the beloved disciple,

00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:53.100
 and Mary Magdalene's heartache.

00:07:53.699 --> 00:07:56.159
 For those followers of Jesus,

00:07:56.899 --> 00:07:58.539
 it was indeed a time

00:07:58.539 --> 00:08:00.019
 of deep gloom.

00:08:00.019 --> 00:08:02.819
 Many people in society

00:08:02.819 --> 00:08:05.299
 are living in the despair

00:08:05.299 --> 00:08:06.319
 and darkness

00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:09.000
 of dark Saturday.

00:08:10.060 --> 00:08:10.939
 In fact,

00:08:11.719 --> 00:08:13.079
 one writer terms

00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:14.859
 our present generation,

00:08:15.719 --> 00:08:17.039
 Saturday's children.

00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:19.859
 Our cities and towns

00:08:19.859 --> 00:08:23.000
 teem with pools of human misery.

00:08:23.659 --> 00:08:25.599
 In the midst of an increasingly

00:08:25.599 --> 00:08:27.339
 godless world,

00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:29.419
 despair grips

00:08:29.420 --> 00:08:30.640
 people's hearts

00:08:30.640 --> 00:08:31.199
 everywhere.

00:08:32.060 --> 00:08:34.159
 Here then is truly good news.

00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:36.600
 He has risen.

00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:39.039
 What can we deduce

00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:41.460
 from this marvelous

00:08:41.460 --> 00:08:42.840
 scripture of truth

00:08:42.840 --> 00:08:44.039
 he has risen?

00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:45.720
 Three thoughts.

00:08:46.379 --> 00:08:46.899
 First,

00:08:47.340 --> 00:08:48.259
 the fact

00:08:48.259 --> 00:08:49.740
 of the empty tomb.

00:08:50.700 --> 00:08:51.200
 Second,

00:08:52.019 --> 00:08:52.899
 the feet

00:08:52.899 --> 00:08:54.120
 of Jesus.

00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:55.000
 The feet

00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:54.159
 of Jesus.

00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:55.639
 Not

00:08:55.639 --> 00:08:58.379
 F-W-E-T

00:08:58.379 --> 00:09:00.159
 but F-E-A-T.

00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:01.100
 The feet

00:09:01.100 --> 00:09:01.639
 of Jesus.

00:09:02.459 --> 00:09:03.600
 And then thirdly,

00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:04.840
 the focus

00:09:04.840 --> 00:09:07.439
 on personal experience.

00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:08.740
 First,

00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:09.500
 the fact

00:09:09.500 --> 00:09:11.059
 of the empty tomb.

00:09:12.340 --> 00:09:13.899
 Until the early church

00:09:13.899 --> 00:09:15.399
 was confronted

00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:17.019
 by the empty grave,

00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:18.480
 the expectation

00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:19.860
 of a resurrection

00:09:19.860 --> 00:09:22.000
 was virtually nil.

00:09:22.820 --> 00:09:23.480
 The women

00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:24.740
 who had on Friday

00:09:24.740 --> 00:09:26.960
 watched the crucifixion

00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:28.980
 of their beloved Jesus

00:09:28.980 --> 00:09:30.700
 left their home

00:09:30.700 --> 00:09:32.300
 early on Sunday morning

00:09:32.300 --> 00:09:34.419
 while it was still dark.

00:09:34.419 --> 00:09:36.259
 They had a particular

00:09:36.259 --> 00:09:38.240
 purpose in mind.

00:09:38.699 --> 00:09:39.860
 They wished to wash

00:09:39.860 --> 00:09:40.779
 and perfume

00:09:40.779 --> 00:09:41.879
 the body

00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:43.079
 of the Lord.

00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:45.139
 They did not anticipate

00:09:45.139 --> 00:09:46.740
 a risen Christ.

00:09:47.659 --> 00:09:48.399
 Resurrection

00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:50.099
 was clearly

00:09:50.099 --> 00:09:51.879
 not on their minds.

00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:53.699
 You could say

00:09:53.699 --> 00:09:54.240
 that in

00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:55.879
 going to the grave

00:09:55.879 --> 00:09:56.799
 early in the morning

00:09:56.799 --> 00:09:57.939
 they were motivated

00:09:57.939 --> 00:09:58.799
 by love

00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:00.139
 in what

00:10:00.139 --> 00:10:01.240
 they intended

00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:01.860
 to do.

00:10:02.759 --> 00:10:03.259
 And Mark

00:10:03.259 --> 00:10:04.200
 in the context

00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:05.220
 of our text

00:10:05.220 --> 00:10:06.340
 writes

00:10:06.340 --> 00:10:07.700
 of their

00:10:07.700 --> 00:10:09.220
 particular worry.

00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:10.659
 Very early

00:10:10.659 --> 00:10:11.500
 on the first day

00:10:11.500 --> 00:10:11.960
 of the week

00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:12.559
 when the sun

00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:13.019
 had risen

00:10:13.019 --> 00:10:14.100
 they went to the tomb

00:10:14.100 --> 00:10:15.259
 they were saying

00:10:15.259 --> 00:10:16.019
 to one another

00:10:16.019 --> 00:10:17.679
 who will roll away

00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:18.779
 the stone for us

00:10:18.779 --> 00:10:20.080
 from the entrance

00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:20.860
 of the tomb?

00:10:21.779 --> 00:10:23.259
 Who will roll away

00:10:23.259 --> 00:10:24.439
 the stone for us

00:10:24.439 --> 00:10:25.659
 from the entrance

00:10:25.659 --> 00:10:26.340
 of the tomb?

00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:28.460
 The stone

00:10:28.460 --> 00:10:30.080
 was very large.

00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:31.799
 The implication

00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:32.500
 being that

00:10:32.500 --> 00:10:33.559
 it was too heavy

00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:34.679
 for the women

00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:35.600
 to roll away.

00:10:36.279 --> 00:10:36.960
 It could not

00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:38.220
 be easily moved.

00:10:39.220 --> 00:10:39.600
 Matthew

00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:40.720
 in his account

00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:42.759
 writes of a conversation

00:10:42.759 --> 00:10:43.779
 that took place

00:10:43.779 --> 00:10:45.039
 between the chief

00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:46.320
 priests and Pharisees.

00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:48.000
 Possibly

00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:49.299
 none of that

00:10:49.299 --> 00:10:49.820
 was known

00:10:49.820 --> 00:10:50.379
 to the woman.

00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:51.139
 We remember

00:10:51.139 --> 00:10:52.720
 how that imposter

00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:53.480
 said while he

00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:54.419
 was still alive

00:10:54.419 --> 00:10:56.059
 after three days

00:10:56.059 --> 00:10:57.019
 I will rise

00:10:57.019 --> 00:10:58.220
 therefore order

00:10:58.220 --> 00:10:58.740
 the tomb

00:10:58.740 --> 00:10:59.720
 to be made secure

00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:00.879
 until the third day

00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:02.399
 lest his disciples

00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:03.519
 go and steal him

00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:04.740
 away and tell the people

00:11:04.740 --> 00:11:05.679
 he has risen

00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:06.559
 from the dead

00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:08.259
 and the last fraud

00:11:08.259 --> 00:11:08.939
 will be worse

00:11:08.939 --> 00:11:09.799
 than the first.

00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:11.759
 Pilate said to them

00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:12.419
 you have a guard

00:11:12.419 --> 00:11:13.139
 of soldiers

00:11:13.139 --> 00:11:14.360
 go make it

00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:15.000
 as secure

00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:15.720
 as you can

00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:16.720
 so they went

00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:17.519
 and made the tomb

00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:18.120
 secure

00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:19.939
 by sealing the stone

00:11:19.939 --> 00:11:21.340
 and setting

00:11:21.340 --> 00:11:22.559
 a guard.

00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:24.059
 And yet

00:11:24.059 --> 00:11:25.360
 regardless

00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:28.039
 of their anxiety

00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:29.240
 the women

00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:30.200
 pressed on

00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:31.039
 with their mission

00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:33.019
 saw the gospel

00:11:33.019 --> 00:11:34.419
 writers make plain

00:11:34.419 --> 00:11:36.279
 the obstacles

00:11:36.279 --> 00:11:38.460
 or the cause

00:11:38.460 --> 00:11:39.399
 of their anxiety

00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:40.500
 had been removed

00:11:40.500 --> 00:11:42.080
 when they arrived

00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:42.720
 at the tomb.

00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:44.639
 Matthew

00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:45.800
 in his account

00:11:45.800 --> 00:11:46.779
 reports

00:11:46.779 --> 00:11:47.539
 what happened.

00:11:48.100 --> 00:11:48.720
 Behold

00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:49.600
 there was a great

00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:50.360
 earthquake

00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:51.720
 for an angel

00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:52.399
 of the Lord

00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:53.860
 descended from heaven

00:11:53.860 --> 00:11:55.240
 and came and rolled

00:11:55.240 --> 00:11:56.139
 back the stone

00:11:56.139 --> 00:11:57.060
 and sat on it

00:11:57.060 --> 00:11:58.100
 his appearance

00:11:58.100 --> 00:11:59.080
 was like light

00:11:59.080 --> 00:11:59.940
 in his clothing

00:11:59.940 --> 00:12:00.899
 white as snow

00:12:00.899 --> 00:12:02.320
 and for fear

00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:02.759
 of him

00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:03.800
 the guards

00:12:03.800 --> 00:12:04.580
 trembled

00:12:04.580 --> 00:12:05.800
 and became

00:12:05.800 --> 00:12:06.960
 like dead men.

00:12:08.539 --> 00:12:09.860
 The stone

00:12:09.860 --> 00:12:11.100
 was rolled

00:12:11.100 --> 00:12:11.580
 away

00:12:11.580 --> 00:12:13.740
 an angel

00:12:13.740 --> 00:12:14.800
 of the Lord

00:12:14.800 --> 00:12:16.320
 had

00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:17.379
 rolled it

00:12:17.379 --> 00:12:17.820
 away

00:12:17.820 --> 00:12:19.879
 but let no one

00:12:19.879 --> 00:12:20.440
 be under

00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:21.300
 the impression

00:12:21.299 --> 00:12:23.139
 that the stone

00:12:23.139 --> 00:12:23.879
 was rolled

00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:24.399
 away

00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:25.699
 in order

00:12:25.699 --> 00:12:26.979
 to let

00:12:26.979 --> 00:12:27.459
 Jesus

00:12:27.459 --> 00:12:28.679
 out from

00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:29.379
 the grave.

00:12:29.599 --> 00:12:30.079
 That was not

00:12:30.079 --> 00:12:30.639
 the purpose

00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:31.719
 of rolling

00:12:31.719 --> 00:12:32.819
 away the stone.

00:12:33.299 --> 00:12:34.179
 The purpose

00:12:34.179 --> 00:12:34.959
 of rolling

00:12:34.959 --> 00:12:36.139
 away the stone

00:12:36.139 --> 00:12:37.259
 was to let

00:12:37.259 --> 00:12:37.979
 the church

00:12:37.979 --> 00:12:39.639
 and the world

00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:40.120
 know

00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:41.899
 that the grave

00:12:41.899 --> 00:12:42.719
 that had once

00:12:42.719 --> 00:12:43.419
 been filled

00:12:43.419 --> 00:12:45.019
 was now empty.

00:12:45.899 --> 00:12:47.000
 Until then

00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:48.719
 no grave

00:12:48.719 --> 00:12:49.839
 had ever

00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:50.680
 been opened

00:12:50.680 --> 00:12:51.820
 from the

00:12:51.820 --> 00:12:52.500
 inside.

00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:55.399
 There were

00:12:55.399 --> 00:12:55.940
 those

00:12:55.940 --> 00:12:57.139
 who were

00:12:57.139 --> 00:12:58.399
 resuscitated

00:12:58.399 --> 00:12:59.080
 to life

00:12:59.080 --> 00:13:00.639
 by the power

00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:01.800
 of Jesus

00:13:01.800 --> 00:13:03.320
 but this

00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:03.899
 grave

00:13:03.899 --> 00:13:04.960
 was unlocked

00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:06.320
 from within.

00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:07.780
 Jesus

00:13:07.780 --> 00:13:08.920
 required no

00:13:08.920 --> 00:13:09.399
 stone

00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:10.060
 to be

00:13:10.060 --> 00:13:11.100
 rolled

00:13:11.100 --> 00:13:11.620
 away

00:13:11.620 --> 00:13:12.220
 to come

00:13:12.220 --> 00:13:12.560
 out.

00:13:13.860 --> 00:13:14.220
 Here

00:13:14.220 --> 00:13:14.879
 was one

00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:15.920
 who removed

00:13:15.920 --> 00:13:16.700
 the keys

00:13:16.700 --> 00:13:17.680
 from the

00:13:17.680 --> 00:13:18.300
 locks of

00:13:18.300 --> 00:13:18.800
 death.

00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:21.840
 and he

00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:22.740
 testifies

00:13:22.740 --> 00:13:23.360
 to that

00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:25.259
 in the

00:13:25.259 --> 00:13:25.879
 book of

00:13:25.879 --> 00:13:26.500
 Revelation

00:13:26.500 --> 00:13:27.480
 in the

00:13:27.480 --> 00:13:28.340
 first chapter.

00:13:29.480 --> 00:13:30.139
 He

00:13:30.139 --> 00:13:31.040
 testifies

00:13:31.040 --> 00:13:31.500
 that he

00:13:31.500 --> 00:13:32.000
 died

00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:32.420
 that he

00:13:32.420 --> 00:13:32.899
 became

00:13:32.899 --> 00:13:33.440
 dead

00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:34.700
 and behold

00:13:34.700 --> 00:13:35.560
 he is alive

00:13:35.560 --> 00:13:36.540
 forevermore

00:13:36.540 --> 00:13:37.420
 he has the

00:13:37.420 --> 00:13:38.180
 keys of

00:13:38.180 --> 00:13:38.639
 death

00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:39.180
 and

00:13:39.180 --> 00:13:39.740
 hates

00:13:39.740 --> 00:13:41.440
 he possesses

00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:42.100
 the keys

00:13:42.100 --> 00:13:42.500
 of the

00:13:42.500 --> 00:13:43.120
 unseen

00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:43.700
 world

00:13:43.700 --> 00:13:44.740
 and of

00:13:44.740 --> 00:13:45.200
 death

00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:45.920
 he has

00:13:45.920 --> 00:13:46.440
 absolute

00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:47.259
 control

00:13:47.259 --> 00:13:48.059
 over

00:13:48.059 --> 00:13:48.659
 everything

00:13:48.659 --> 00:13:49.399
 connected

00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:50.220
 with man's

00:13:50.220 --> 00:13:50.779
 departure

00:13:50.779 --> 00:13:51.960
 from this

00:13:51.960 --> 00:13:52.460
 life.

00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:53.639
 The

00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:54.340
 separation

00:13:54.340 --> 00:13:55.419
 of our

00:13:55.419 --> 00:13:56.080
 soul and

00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:56.519
 body

00:13:56.519 --> 00:13:57.659
 and our

00:13:57.659 --> 00:13:58.360
 subsequent

00:13:58.360 --> 00:13:59.559
 eternal

00:13:59.559 --> 00:14:00.319
 condition.

00:14:02.220 --> 00:14:02.779
 And then you

00:14:02.779 --> 00:14:03.559
 ask yourself

00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:04.379
 should we

00:14:04.379 --> 00:14:05.059
 consider

00:14:05.059 --> 00:14:06.179
 the

00:14:06.179 --> 00:14:06.559
 sealed

00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:07.259
 stone

00:14:07.259 --> 00:14:08.240
 to

00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:09.220
 symbolize

00:14:09.220 --> 00:14:09.759
 anything?

00:14:10.899 --> 00:14:11.600
 Well could I

00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:12.200
 suggest

00:14:12.200 --> 00:14:13.540
 that the

00:14:13.540 --> 00:14:14.100
 grave

00:14:14.100 --> 00:14:15.140
 until

00:14:15.140 --> 00:14:16.259
 the

00:14:16.259 --> 00:14:16.780
 rising

00:14:16.780 --> 00:14:17.100
 of

00:14:17.100 --> 00:14:17.580
 Christ

00:14:17.580 --> 00:14:17.860
 from

00:14:17.860 --> 00:14:18.080
 the

00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:18.500
 dead

00:14:18.500 --> 00:14:19.340
 was

00:14:19.340 --> 00:14:19.660
 like

00:14:19.660 --> 00:14:19.920
 an

00:14:19.920 --> 00:14:21.040
 impregnable

00:14:21.040 --> 00:14:22.040
 fortress.

00:14:23.320 --> 00:14:23.980
 No one

00:14:23.980 --> 00:14:24.400
 had been

00:14:24.400 --> 00:14:25.259
 able to

00:14:25.259 --> 00:14:25.680
 breach

00:14:25.680 --> 00:14:25.920
 its

00:14:25.920 --> 00:14:26.520
 walls.

00:14:27.300 --> 00:14:27.680
 Generation

00:14:27.680 --> 00:14:28.500
 after

00:14:28.500 --> 00:14:29.220
 generation

00:14:29.220 --> 00:14:29.660
 after

00:14:29.660 --> 00:14:30.460
 generation

00:14:30.460 --> 00:14:31.100
 had

00:14:31.100 --> 00:14:31.560
 passed

00:14:31.560 --> 00:14:31.920
 into

00:14:31.920 --> 00:14:32.160
 the

00:14:32.160 --> 00:14:32.600
 grave

00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:34.060
 creating

00:14:34.060 --> 00:14:34.680
 its own

00:14:34.680 --> 00:14:35.140
 grief

00:14:35.140 --> 00:14:35.900
 and sorrow

00:14:35.900 --> 00:14:36.920
 in the

00:14:36.920 --> 00:14:37.600
 lives of

00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:38.120
 those

00:14:38.120 --> 00:14:38.940
 left

00:14:38.940 --> 00:14:39.520
 behind.

00:14:40.360 --> 00:14:40.879
 And you

00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:41.279
 may be

00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:41.679
 present

00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:42.039
 this

00:14:42.039 --> 00:14:42.399
 evening

00:14:42.399 --> 00:14:42.700
 or

00:14:42.700 --> 00:14:43.120
 listening

00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:43.740
 online

00:14:43.740 --> 00:14:44.919
 and that

00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:45.600
 parting

00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:47.080
 has left

00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:47.559
 you

00:14:47.559 --> 00:14:48.740
 almost

00:14:48.740 --> 00:14:49.200
 in a

00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:49.580
 state

00:14:49.580 --> 00:14:49.799
 of

00:14:49.799 --> 00:14:50.320
 limbo.

00:14:51.220 --> 00:14:51.439
 You

00:14:51.439 --> 00:14:52.019
 feel

00:14:52.019 --> 00:14:53.939
 inconsolable

00:14:53.939 --> 00:14:55.039
 so

00:14:55.039 --> 00:14:55.559
 difficult

00:14:55.559 --> 00:14:56.340
 to face

00:14:56.340 --> 00:14:56.799
 each

00:14:56.799 --> 00:14:57.299
 day

00:14:57.299 --> 00:14:58.179
 without

00:14:58.179 --> 00:14:58.899
 those

00:14:58.899 --> 00:14:59.240
 who are

00:14:59.240 --> 00:14:59.559
 such

00:14:59.559 --> 00:15:00.159
 an

00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:00.879
 integral

00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:01.720
 and

00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:02.299
 intimate

00:15:02.299 --> 00:15:02.840
 part

00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:03.200
 of your

00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:03.639
 life.

00:15:04.419 --> 00:15:04.919
 Let me

00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:05.399
 ask

00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:06.220
 do you

00:15:06.220 --> 00:15:06.440
 know

00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:06.639
 the

00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:07.200
 friend

00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:08.019
 who

00:15:08.019 --> 00:15:08.379
 sticks

00:15:08.379 --> 00:15:08.919
 closer

00:15:08.919 --> 00:15:09.799
 than

00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:10.080
 any

00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:10.480
 brother?

00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:11.960
 Have you

00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:12.259
 some

00:15:12.259 --> 00:15:13.000
 experience

00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:13.720
 of the

00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:14.299
 warmth

00:15:14.299 --> 00:15:15.299
 of his

00:15:15.299 --> 00:15:15.779
 ultra

00:15:15.779 --> 00:15:16.539
 sympathetic

00:15:16.539 --> 00:15:17.439
 comfort?

00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:19.200
 If not

00:15:19.200 --> 00:15:20.100
 will you

00:15:20.100 --> 00:15:20.620
 ask him

00:15:20.620 --> 00:15:21.039
 to come

00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:21.299
 into

00:15:21.299 --> 00:15:21.559
 your

00:15:21.559 --> 00:15:22.000
 life

00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:22.879
 to

00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:23.600
 soothe

00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:23.919
 your

00:15:23.919 --> 00:15:24.399
 grieving

00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:24.919
 heart?

00:15:25.779 --> 00:15:26.200
 Here

00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:26.840
 then was

00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:27.639
 a grave

00:15:27.639 --> 00:15:28.620
 opened

00:15:28.620 --> 00:15:29.639
 from

00:15:29.639 --> 00:15:30.100
 within.

00:15:30.860 --> 00:15:31.259
 The

00:15:31.259 --> 00:15:31.759
 stone

00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:32.159
 that

00:15:32.159 --> 00:15:33.820
 symbolized

00:15:33.820 --> 00:15:34.539
 the

00:15:34.539 --> 00:15:36.460
 finality

00:15:36.460 --> 00:15:37.240
 and

00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:38.120
 undefeated

00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:38.639
 power

00:15:38.639 --> 00:15:39.360

00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:40.120
 was

00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:40.460
 rolled

00:15:40.460 --> 00:15:40.960
 away.

00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:42.120
 The

00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:42.580
 grave

00:15:42.580 --> 00:15:42.860

00:15:42.860 --> 00:15:43.279

00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:44.220
 and

00:15:44.220 --> 00:15:44.399

00:15:44.399 --> 00:15:44.840
 power

00:15:44.840 --> 00:15:45.120
 of

00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:45.580
 death

00:15:45.580 --> 00:15:46.480
 and

00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:46.639
 the

00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:46.960

00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:47.519

00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:54.639
 And

00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:54.779
 you

00:15:54.779 --> 00:15:54.980

00:15:54.980 --> 00:15:55.460
 remember

00:15:55.460 --> 00:15:55.759

00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:01.620
 He

00:16:01.620 --> 00:16:01.899

00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:22.460
 And

00:16:22.460 --> 00:16:22.659

00:16:28.200 --> 00:16:28.519
 You

00:16:28.519 --> 00:16:28.800
 might

00:16:28.800 --> 00:16:29.080

00:17:17.299 --> 00:17:17.659
 evening

00:17:17.659 --> 00:17:18.399
 like

00:17:18.399 --> 00:17:18.899
 John

00:17:18.899 --> 00:17:20.059
 did

00:17:20.059 --> 00:17:20.419
 that

 in

00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:23.919
 your

00:17:27.099 --> 00:17:27.759
 and

00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:28.379
 understood

00:17:28.379 --> 00:17:28.960
 the way

00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:29.119
 of

 through

00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:30.599
 faith

00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:31.139
 in

00:17:31.139 --> 00:17:31.519
 Jesus

00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:32.099
 Christ

00:17:32.099 --> 00:17:32.879
 and

00:17:32.879 --> 00:17:33.159
 when

00:17:33.159 --> 00:17:33.519
 that

00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:34.099
 happened

00:17:34.099 --> 00:17:34.859
 did

00:17:34.859 --> 00:17:35.019
 you

00:17:35.019 --> 00:17:35.379
 wonder

00:17:35.379 --> 00:17:35.659
 that

00:17:35.659 --> 00:17:35.779
 you

00:17:35.779 --> 00:17:36.019
 did

00:17:36.019 --> 00:17:36.259
 not

00:17:36.259 --> 00:17:36.519
 see

00:17:36.519 --> 00:17:36.720
 it

00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:37.480
 before

00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:37.839
 then

00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:39.500
 I

00:17:39.500 --> 00:17:39.819
 think

00:17:39.819 --> 00:17:40.240
 many

00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:40.839
 were

00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:41.099
 like

00:17:41.099 --> 00:17:41.420
 that

00:17:41.420 --> 00:17:42.599
 and

00:17:42.599 --> 00:17:42.839
 as

00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:43.000
 you

00:17:43.000 --> 00:17:43.500
 reflect

00:17:43.500 --> 00:17:43.740
 on

00:17:43.740 --> 00:17:43.879
 the

00:17:43.879 --> 00:17:44.240
 empty

00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:44.660
 tomb

00:17:44.660 --> 00:17:45.220
 tonight

00:17:45.220 --> 00:17:46.139
 can

00:17:46.139 --> 00:17:46.319
 you

00:17:46.319 --> 00:17:46.639
 say

00:17:46.639 --> 00:17:46.920
 with

00:17:46.920 --> 00:17:47.399
 John

00:17:47.399 --> 00:17:48.299
 we

00:17:48.299 --> 00:17:48.500
 have

00:17:48.500 --> 00:17:48.839
 seen

00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:49.119
 and

00:17:49.119 --> 00:17:49.680
 testify

00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:50.440
 that

00:17:50.440 --> 00:17:50.619
 the

00:17:50.619 --> 00:17:50.980
 father

00:17:50.980 --> 00:17:51.259
 has

00:17:51.259 --> 00:17:51.519
 sent

00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:51.740
 a

00:17:51.740 --> 00:17:52.000
 son

00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:52.200
 to

00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:52.399
 be

00:17:52.399 --> 00:17:52.759
 savior

00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:53.059
 of

00:17:53.059 --> 00:17:53.220
 the

00:17:53.220 --> 00:17:53.559
 world

00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:54.220
 whoever

00:17:54.220 --> 00:17:55.139
 confesses

00:17:55.139 --> 00:17:55.379
 that

00:17:55.379 --> 00:17:55.779
 Jesus

00:17:55.779 --> 00:17:56.099
 is

00:17:56.099 --> 00:17:56.299
 the

00:17:56.299 --> 00:17:56.500
 son

00:17:56.500 --> 00:17:56.680
 of

00:17:56.680 --> 00:17:56.980
 God

00:17:56.980 --> 00:17:57.480
 abides

00:17:57.480 --> 00:17:57.660
 in

00:17:57.660 --> 00:17:57.839
 him

00:17:57.839 --> 00:17:58.359
 and

00:17:58.359 --> 00:17:58.519

00:17:58.700 --> 00:17:59.139
 God

00:17:59.139 --> 00:18:00.019
 so

00:18:00.019 --> 00:18:00.420
 we

00:18:00.420 --> 00:18:00.579
 have

00:18:00.579 --> 00:18:00.899

00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:03.740
 God

00:18:03.740 --> 00:18:04.480
 has

00:18:04.480 --> 00:18:04.859
 for

00:18:04.859 --> 00:18:05.259
 us

00:18:05.259 --> 00:18:06.199

00:18:07.579 --> 00:18:08.019
 entered

00:18:08.019 --> 00:18:08.240

00:18:14.219 --> 00:18:14.659
 was

00:18:14.659 --> 00:18:15.319
 stronger

00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:15.619
 than

00:23:02.439 --> 00:23:02.779
 their

00:23:02.779 --> 00:23:03.279
 peace

00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:05.139
 and

00:23:05.139 --> 00:23:05.339
 he

00:23:05.339 --> 00:23:05.859
 preached

00:23:05.859 --> 00:23:05.919
!

00:23:05.919 --> 00:23:06.699
 peace

00:23:06.699 --> 00:23:07.039
 to

00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:07.399
 them

00:23:07.399 --> 00:23:08.779
 they

00:23:08.779 --> 00:23:09.000
 were

00:23:09.000 --> 00:23:09.619
 presented

00:23:09.619 --> 00:23:10.039
 with

00:23:10.039 --> 00:23:10.879
 visible

00:23:10.879 --> 00:23:11.599
 evidence

00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:12.319
 of the

00:23:12.319 --> 00:23:12.339
!

00:23:13.099 --> 00:23:13.459
 he

00:23:13.459 --> 00:23:13.779
 had

00:23:13.779 --> 00:23:14.079
 risen

00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:14.699
 indeed!

00:23:17.019 --> 00:23:17.759
 And so

00:23:17.759 --> 00:23:18.480
 to prove

00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:18.859
 that he

00:23:18.859 --> 00:23:19.259
 wasn't

00:23:19.259 --> 00:23:19.599
 some

00:23:19.599 --> 00:23:20.359
 apparition

00:23:20.359 --> 00:23:21.599
 figment

00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:22.019
 of their

00:23:22.019 --> 00:23:22.759
 imagination

00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:23.679
 you find

00:23:23.679 --> 00:23:24.179
 written in

00:23:24.179 --> 00:23:24.659
 John's

00:23:24.659 --> 00:23:25.059
 gospel

00:23:25.059 --> 00:23:25.579
 he showed

00:23:25.579 --> 00:23:25.939
 them his

00:23:25.939 --> 00:23:26.319
 hands

00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:26.740
 and his

00:23:26.740 --> 00:23:27.179
 side

00:23:27.179 --> 00:23:28.539
 and in

00:23:28.539 --> 00:23:28.819
 that

00:23:28.819 --> 00:23:29.259
 passage

00:23:29.259 --> 00:23:29.759
 it is

00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:30.339
 recorded

00:23:30.339 --> 00:23:30.659
 that

00:23:30.659 --> 00:23:31.019
 Jesus

00:23:31.019 --> 00:23:31.559
 said

00:23:31.559 --> 00:23:32.379
 behold

00:23:32.379 --> 00:23:33.059
 my

00:23:33.059 --> 00:23:33.480
 hands

00:23:33.480 --> 00:23:34.079
 and feet

00:23:34.079 --> 00:23:34.899
 that it

00:23:34.899 --> 00:23:35.259
 is I

00:23:35.259 --> 00:23:35.839
 myself

00:23:35.839 --> 00:23:36.759
 handle

00:23:36.759 --> 00:23:37.039
 me

00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:37.599
 and see

00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:38.419
 for a

00:23:38.419 --> 00:23:38.759
 spirit

00:23:38.759 --> 00:23:39.319
 does not

00:23:39.319 --> 00:23:39.500
 have

00:23:39.500 --> 00:23:39.879
 flesh

00:23:39.879 --> 00:23:40.819
 and bones

00:23:40.819 --> 00:23:41.199
 as you

00:23:41.199 --> 00:23:41.599
 see I

00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:41.859
 have

00:23:41.859 --> 00:23:42.519
 when he

00:23:42.519 --> 00:23:42.699
 had

00:23:42.699 --> 00:23:43.099
 said

00:23:43.099 --> 00:23:43.500
 this

00:23:43.500 --> 00:23:44.099
 he

00:23:44.099 --> 00:23:44.579
 showed

00:23:44.579 --> 00:23:44.839
 them

00:23:44.839 --> 00:23:45.079
 his

00:23:45.079 --> 00:23:45.619
 hands

00:23:45.619 --> 00:23:46.659
 and his

00:23:46.659 --> 00:23:47.019
 feet

00:23:47.019 --> 00:23:47.539
 he

00:23:47.539 --> 00:23:48.019
 showed

00:23:48.019 --> 00:23:48.339
 them

00:23:48.339 --> 00:23:48.919
 his

00:23:48.919 --> 00:23:49.559
 hands

00:23:49.559 --> 00:23:50.519
 and his

00:23:50.519 --> 00:23:50.879
 feet

00:23:50.879 --> 00:23:51.819
 in other

00:23:51.819 --> 00:23:52.240
 words

00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:52.939
 he

00:23:52.939 --> 00:23:53.240
 was

00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:53.740
 showing

00:23:53.740 --> 00:23:54.859
 that

00:23:54.859 --> 00:23:55.119
 the

00:23:55.119 --> 00:23:55.919
 piercings

00:23:55.919 --> 00:23:57.099
 and the

00:23:57.099 --> 00:23:57.659
 marks

00:23:57.659 --> 00:23:58.139
 of his

00:23:58.139 --> 00:23:59.500
 crucifixion

00:23:59.500 --> 00:24:00.699
 were still

00:24:00.699 --> 00:24:01.579
 visible

00:24:01.579 --> 00:24:02.659
 you could

00:24:02.659 --> 00:24:03.019
 say

00:24:03.019 --> 00:24:04.039
 it was a

00:24:04.039 --> 00:24:04.480
 silent

00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:05.139
 argument

00:24:05.139 --> 00:24:06.639
 but also

00:24:06.639 --> 00:24:07.079
 a very

00:24:07.079 --> 00:24:07.899
 powerful

00:24:07.899 --> 00:24:09.139
 and effective

00:24:09.139 --> 00:24:09.679
 argument

00:24:09.680 --> 00:24:10.660
 and to

00:24:10.660 --> 00:24:11.039
 further

00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:11.519
 assure

00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:11.740
 them

00:24:11.740 --> 00:24:12.060
 of his

00:24:12.060 --> 00:24:12.700
 identity

00:24:12.700 --> 00:24:13.580
 he ate

00:24:13.580 --> 00:24:13.900
 in their

00:24:13.900 --> 00:24:14.320
 presence

00:24:14.320 --> 00:24:15.779
 so

00:24:15.779 --> 00:24:16.440
 when he

00:24:16.440 --> 00:24:16.940
 appeared

00:24:16.940 --> 00:24:17.380
 in that

00:24:17.380 --> 00:24:17.799
 locked

00:24:17.799 --> 00:24:18.180
 room

00:24:18.180 --> 00:24:19.120
 he had

00:24:19.120 --> 00:24:19.700
 a physical

00:24:19.700 --> 00:24:20.220
 body

00:24:20.220 --> 00:24:21.019
 not like

00:24:21.019 --> 00:24:21.500
 ours

00:24:21.500 --> 00:24:23.440
 the same

00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:23.740
 yet

00:24:23.740 --> 00:24:24.200
 different

00:24:24.200 --> 00:24:25.420
 he was

00:24:25.420 --> 00:24:25.880
 simply

00:24:25.880 --> 00:24:26.299
 there

00:24:26.299 --> 00:24:27.259
 in spite

00:24:27.259 --> 00:24:27.620
 of the

00:24:27.620 --> 00:24:27.940
 locked

00:24:27.940 --> 00:24:28.500
 doors

00:24:28.500 --> 00:24:29.400
 and from

00:24:29.400 --> 00:24:29.779
 that I

00:24:29.779 --> 00:24:30.100
 think we

00:24:30.100 --> 00:24:30.600
 can make

00:24:30.600 --> 00:24:31.360
 at least

00:24:31.360 --> 00:24:31.700
 this

00:24:31.700 --> 00:24:32.320
 deduction

00:24:32.320 --> 00:24:33.240
 tonight

00:24:33.240 --> 00:24:33.960
 in your

00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:34.460
 life

00:24:34.460 --> 00:24:35.500
 the risen

00:24:35.500 --> 00:24:36.100
 Christ

00:24:36.100 --> 00:24:36.920
 can go

00:24:36.920 --> 00:24:38.000
 where no

00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:38.500
 one else

00:24:38.500 --> 00:24:39.200

00:24:39.200 --> 00:24:41.019
 can go

00:24:41.019 --> 00:24:41.500
 where no

00:24:41.500 --> 00:24:41.980

00:24:42.680 --> 00:24:43.360
 can go

 where no

00:24:43.779 --> 00:24:44.240
 doctor

00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:44.740
 can go

00:24:44.740 --> 00:24:44.980
 he can

00:24:44.980 --> 00:24:45.120
 go

00:24:45.120 --> 00:24:45.440
 where no

 or youth

00:24:46.620 --> 00:24:46.880
 leader

00:24:46.880 --> 00:24:47.480
 can go

00:24:47.480 --> 00:24:48.120

00:24:48.120 --> 00:24:48.400
 go

00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:49.019
 where no

00:24:49.019 --> 00:24:49.580

00:24:49.580 --> 00:24:50.140
 can go

 reach

00:24:50.779 --> 00:24:51.539
 deep

00:24:51.539 --> 00:24:52.080
 into your

00:24:55.580 --> 00:24:56.480
 no place

00:24:56.480 --> 00:24:57.000

00:24:57.000 --> 00:24:57.500
 are

00:24:57.500 --> 00:24:59.340

 you as a

00:25:55.839 --> 00:25:57.259
 do you

00:25:57.259 --> 00:25:57.740
 find

00:25:57.740 --> 00:25:58.359
 comfort

00:25:58.359 --> 00:25:58.900
 in that

00:25:58.900 --> 00:26:00.440
 I

00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:01.539
 certainly

00:26:01.539 --> 00:26:01.960
 do

00:26:01.960 --> 00:26:03.220
 and I

00:26:03.220 --> 00:26:03.759
 hope

00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:04.799
 that you

00:26:04.799 --> 00:26:05.160
 do

00:26:05.160 --> 00:26:05.600
 too

00:26:05.600 --> 00:26:07.360
 he is

00:26:07.360 --> 00:26:07.860
 the true

00:26:07.860 --> 00:26:08.380
 servant

00:26:08.380 --> 00:26:09.240
 of God

00:26:09.240 --> 00:26:10.279
 and the

00:26:10.279 --> 00:26:10.700
 Bible

00:26:10.700 --> 00:26:11.759
 tells us

00:26:11.759 --> 00:26:12.500
 of his

00:26:12.500 --> 00:26:13.059
 character

00:26:13.059 --> 00:26:13.840
 traits

00:26:13.840 --> 00:26:15.620
 a bruised

00:26:15.620 --> 00:26:16.080
 reed

00:26:16.080 --> 00:26:17.140
 he will

00:26:17.140 --> 00:26:18.039
 not break

00:26:18.039 --> 00:26:19.180
 and a

00:26:19.180 --> 00:26:19.980
 smouldering

00:26:19.980 --> 00:26:20.440
 wick

00:26:20.440 --> 00:26:21.400
 he will

00:26:21.400 --> 00:26:22.400
 not quench

00:26:22.400 --> 00:26:24.220
 a bruised

00:26:24.220 --> 00:26:24.840
 reed

00:26:24.840 --> 00:26:26.440
 a smouldering

00:26:26.440 --> 00:26:27.019
 wick

00:26:27.019 --> 00:26:28.600
 you know

00:26:28.600 --> 00:26:29.180
 that's a

00:26:29.180 --> 00:26:30.039
 picture of

00:26:30.039 --> 00:26:31.359
 of you

00:26:31.359 --> 00:26:31.980
 and me

00:26:31.980 --> 00:26:33.000
 by nature

00:26:33.000 --> 00:26:34.619
 broken

00:26:34.619 --> 00:26:35.359
 reeds

00:26:35.359 --> 00:26:37.000
 smouldering

00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:37.599
 wicks

00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:39.359
 and this

00:26:39.359 --> 00:26:40.059
 Jesus

00:26:40.059 --> 00:26:41.259
 the risen

00:26:41.259 --> 00:26:41.819
 Jesus

00:26:41.819 --> 00:26:43.200
 he takes

00:26:43.200 --> 00:26:43.559
 us

00:26:43.559 --> 00:26:44.379
 in our

00:26:44.379 --> 00:26:45.460
 brokenness

00:26:45.460 --> 00:26:46.519
 in our

00:26:46.519 --> 00:26:47.059
 loneliness

00:26:47.059 --> 00:26:48.500
 and he

00:26:48.500 --> 00:26:49.059
 heals

00:26:49.059 --> 00:26:50.799
 and restores

00:26:50.799 --> 00:26:52.159
 the message

00:26:52.159 --> 00:26:52.720
 of the

00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:53.039
 risen

00:26:53.039 --> 00:26:53.639
 Christ

00:26:53.639 --> 00:26:54.119
 is

00:26:54.119 --> 00:26:54.759
 I

00:26:54.759 --> 00:26:55.379
 live

00:26:55.380 --> 00:26:57.780
 it was

00:26:57.780 --> 00:26:58.320
 sufficient

00:26:58.320 --> 00:27:00.260
 to convince

00:27:00.260 --> 00:27:01.120
 a doubting

00:27:01.120 --> 00:27:01.800
 Thomas

00:27:01.800 --> 00:27:03.300
 prompt him

00:27:03.300 --> 00:27:04.020
 to speak

00:27:04.020 --> 00:27:05.700
 from his

00:27:05.700 --> 00:27:06.240
 heart

00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:08.000
 words of

00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:09.340
 reverential

00:27:09.340 --> 00:27:09.980
 law

00:27:09.980 --> 00:27:11.040
 my

00:27:11.040 --> 00:27:11.820
 Lord

00:27:11.820 --> 00:27:12.980
 and my

00:27:12.980 --> 00:27:13.720
 God

00:27:13.720 --> 00:27:15.680
 God

00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:16.220
 remember

00:27:16.220 --> 00:27:17.140
 as I

00:27:17.140 --> 00:27:17.539
 said

00:27:17.539 --> 00:27:18.460
 how the

00:27:18.460 --> 00:27:18.880
 message

00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:19.100
 of

00:27:19.100 --> 00:27:19.500
 Jesus

00:27:19.500 --> 00:27:19.839
 is

00:27:19.839 --> 00:27:20.299
 alive

00:27:20.299 --> 00:27:21.259
 is

00:27:21.259 --> 00:27:21.799
 reinforced

00:27:21.799 --> 00:27:22.440
 in the

00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:22.720
 first

00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:23.140
 chapter

00:27:23.140 --> 00:27:23.559
 of the

00:27:23.559 --> 00:27:23.740
 book

00:27:23.740 --> 00:27:23.920
 of

00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:24.480
 Revelation

00:27:24.480 --> 00:27:25.480
 in the

00:27:25.480 --> 00:27:25.880
 vision

00:27:25.880 --> 00:27:26.360
 that was

00:27:26.360 --> 00:27:26.660
 given

00:27:26.660 --> 00:27:26.900
 to

00:27:26.900 --> 00:27:27.279
 John

00:27:27.279 --> 00:27:27.460
 and

00:27:27.460 --> 00:27:28.079
 Patmos

00:27:28.079 --> 00:27:28.939
 when I

00:27:28.939 --> 00:27:29.439
 saw him

00:27:29.439 --> 00:27:29.679
 wrote

00:27:29.679 --> 00:27:30.019
 John

00:27:30.019 --> 00:27:30.419
 I

00:27:30.419 --> 00:27:30.679
 fell

00:27:30.679 --> 00:27:30.980
 at his

00:27:30.980 --> 00:27:31.179
 feet

00:27:31.179 --> 00:27:31.359
 as

00:27:31.480 --> 00:27:31.799
 dead

00:27:31.799 --> 00:27:32.279
 but

00:27:32.279 --> 00:27:32.439

00:27:32.439 --> 00:27:32.659
 laid

 hand

00:27:33.059 --> 00:27:33.199
 on

00:27:33.199 --> 00:27:33.359
 me

00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:33.559
 saying

00:27:33.559 --> 00:27:33.919
 fear

00:27:33.919 --> 00:27:34.279
 not

00:27:37.699 --> 00:27:38.079
 one

 more

00:27:51.259 --> 00:27:52.599
 many

00:27:52.599 --> 00:27:53.319
 believers

00:27:53.319 --> 00:27:55.279
 despite

00:27:55.279 --> 00:27:55.939
 knowing

00:27:55.939 --> 00:27:56.480
 that their

00:27:56.480 --> 00:27:56.879
 sins

00:27:56.879 --> 00:27:57.259
 are

00:27:57.259 --> 00:27:57.839
 forgiven

00:27:57.839 --> 00:27:59.419
 live

00:27:59.419 --> 00:27:59.759
 in the

00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:00.159
 terror

00:28:00.159 --> 00:28:00.519
 of

00:28:00.519 --> 00:28:01.179
 sin's

00:28:01.179 --> 00:28:01.740
 power

00:28:01.740 --> 00:28:03.139
 because

00:28:03.139 --> 00:28:03.639
 of

 felt

00:28:04.899 --> 00:28:05.519
 weakness

00:28:05.519 --> 00:28:06.699
 in the

00:28:06.699 --> 00:28:06.980
 face

00:28:06.980 --> 00:28:07.179
 of

00:28:07.179 --> 00:28:07.899
 temptation

00:28:07.899 --> 00:28:09.439
 the

00:28:09.439 --> 00:28:09.919
 savior

00:28:09.919 --> 00:28:10.339
 who

00:28:10.339 --> 00:28:10.859
 rose

00:28:10.859 --> 00:28:11.119
 from

00:28:11.119 --> 00:28:11.339
 the

00:28:11.339 --> 00:28:11.819
 dead

00:28:11.819 --> 00:28:12.879
 has

00:28:17.319 --> 00:28:18.019
 remember

00:28:18.019 --> 00:28:18.259
 the

00:28:18.259 --> 00:28:18.659
 prayer

00:28:18.659 --> 00:28:19.639
 of

00:28:19.639 --> 00:28:20.099
 Paul

00:28:20.099 --> 00:28:20.419
 in the

00:28:20.419 --> 00:28:20.679
 letter

00:28:20.679 --> 00:28:21.099

 you read

00:28:23.980 --> 00:28:24.240
 these

00:28:24.240 --> 00:28:24.559
 words

00:28:24.559 --> 00:28:25.019
 what

 immeasurable

00:28:25.939 --> 00:28:26.519
 greatness

00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:26.939
 of his

00:28:26.939 --> 00:28:27.199
 power

00:28:27.200 --> 00:28:27.700
 toward us

00:28:27.700 --> 00:28:27.819
 who

 believe

00:28:28.140 --> 00:28:28.840
 according

 to the

00:28:30.299 --> 00:28:30.720

00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:31.720
 that he

00:28:31.720 --> 00:28:32.120
 worked

00:28:32.120 --> 00:28:32.360
 in

00:28:32.360 --> 00:28:32.880
 Christ

00:28:32.880 --> 00:28:34.059
 when he

00:28:34.059 --> 00:28:34.940
 raised him

00:28:34.940 --> 00:28:35.880
 from the

00:28:35.880 --> 00:28:36.440
 dead

00:28:36.440 --> 00:28:37.960
 is that not

00:28:37.960 --> 00:28:38.660

00:28:43.539 --> 00:28:44.240
 away from

00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:44.640
 sin

00:28:44.640 --> 00:28:47.240
 and offer

00:28:57.319 --> 00:28:57.819
 conquer

00:28:57.819 --> 00:28:58.879
 every

00:28:58.879 --> 00:28:59.419
 ruler

00:28:59.419 --> 00:29:00.139
 and open

00:29:00.139 --> 00:29:00.639
 hearts

00:29:00.639 --> 00:29:01.799
 that are

00:29:01.799 --> 00:29:02.299
 filled

00:29:02.299 --> 00:29:02.779
 with

00:29:02.779 --> 00:29:04.000
 prejudice

00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:05.659
 against

00:29:05.659 --> 00:29:06.119
 him

00:29:06.119 --> 00:29:07.679
 and that

00:29:07.679 --> 00:29:08.039
 is how

00:29:08.039 --> 00:29:08.579
 our hearts

00:29:08.579 --> 00:29:09.079
 are

00:29:09.079 --> 00:29:10.679
 until

00:29:10.679 --> 00:29:11.879
 the

00:29:11.879 --> 00:29:12.399
 Lord

00:29:12.399 --> 00:29:13.539
 takes

00:29:13.539 --> 00:29:14.059
 away

00:29:14.059 --> 00:29:15.240
 these

00:29:15.240 --> 00:29:16.279
 prejudices

00:29:16.279 --> 00:29:46.279


00:29:46.279 --> 00:29:46.779
!

00:29:46.779 --> 00:29:47.119
 heart of

00:29:47.119 --> 00:29:47.740
 men and

00:29:47.740 --> 00:29:48.079
 women

00:29:48.079 --> 00:29:49.379
 against the

00:29:49.379 --> 00:29:50.019
 entrance

00:29:50.019 --> 00:29:50.779
 of the

00:29:50.779 --> 00:29:51.339
 message of

00:29:51.339 --> 00:29:51.960
 the gospel

00:29:51.960 --> 00:29:55.379
 so that

00:29:55.379 --> 00:29:55.859
 you would

00:29:55.859 --> 00:29:56.779
 not accept

00:29:56.779 --> 00:29:57.660
 the message

00:29:57.660 --> 00:29:58.139
 of the

00:29:58.139 --> 00:29:58.619
 gospel

00:29:58.619 --> 00:30:00.299
 oh my

00:30:00.299 --> 00:30:00.819
 friend

00:30:00.819 --> 00:30:02.059
 is Mr.

00:30:02.180 --> 00:30:02.879
 Prejudice

00:30:02.879 --> 00:30:04.420
 whispering in

00:30:04.420 --> 00:30:05.059
 your ear

00:30:05.059 --> 00:30:06.259
 this evening

00:30:06.259 --> 00:30:08.259
 is he

00:30:08.259 --> 00:30:08.940
 telling you

00:30:08.940 --> 00:30:09.779
 that you

00:30:09.779 --> 00:30:10.359
 have time

00:30:10.359 --> 00:30:10.879
 enough

00:30:10.879 --> 00:30:12.160
 to make

00:30:12.160 --> 00:30:12.819
 peace with

00:30:12.819 --> 00:30:13.519
 God

00:30:13.519 --> 00:30:14.839
 well in

00:30:14.839 --> 00:30:15.319
 a world

00:30:15.319 --> 00:30:16.179
 of unrest

00:30:16.179 --> 00:30:16.679
 you will

00:30:16.679 --> 00:30:17.299
 find

00:30:17.299 --> 00:30:18.759
 rest

00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:20.579
 in the

00:30:20.579 --> 00:30:20.839
 living

00:30:20.839 --> 00:30:21.480
 Christ

00:30:21.480 --> 00:30:21.899
 you will

00:30:21.899 --> 00:30:22.679
 find rest

00:30:22.679 --> 00:30:23.139
 for your

00:30:23.139 --> 00:30:23.619
 soul

00:30:23.619 --> 00:30:25.119
 and there's

00:30:25.119 --> 00:30:25.539
 one other

00:30:25.539 --> 00:30:25.960
 thing that

00:30:25.960 --> 00:30:26.439
 arises

00:30:26.439 --> 00:30:27.359
 from his

00:30:27.359 --> 00:30:27.579
 being

00:30:27.579 --> 00:30:28.200
 raised

00:30:28.200 --> 00:30:29.960
 and it

00:30:29.960 --> 00:30:30.339
 is the

00:30:30.339 --> 00:30:30.700
 nature

00:30:30.700 --> 00:30:31.200
 of the

00:30:31.200 --> 00:30:32.000
 relationship

00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:33.539
 that

00:30:33.539 --> 00:30:34.240
 Jesus

00:30:34.240 --> 00:30:35.000
 has with

00:30:35.000 --> 00:30:35.500
 those whom

00:30:35.500 --> 00:30:36.500
 he designates

00:30:36.500 --> 00:30:37.179
 his

00:30:37.179 --> 00:30:37.659
 brothers

00:30:37.659 --> 00:30:39.700
 remember

00:30:39.700 --> 00:30:40.399
 the message

00:30:40.399 --> 00:30:40.939
 that the

00:30:40.939 --> 00:30:41.679
 risen

00:30:41.679 --> 00:30:42.139
 Jesus

00:30:42.140 --> 00:30:43.500
 entrusted

00:30:43.500 --> 00:30:43.960
 to the

00:30:43.960 --> 00:30:44.280
 woman

00:30:44.280 --> 00:30:44.720
 who had

00:30:44.720 --> 00:30:44.960
 been

00:30:44.960 --> 00:30:46.100
 inconsolable

00:30:46.100 --> 00:30:47.620
 until she

00:30:47.620 --> 00:30:48.740
 was reassured

00:30:48.740 --> 00:30:49.980
 that she

00:30:49.980 --> 00:30:50.340
 was in

00:30:50.340 --> 00:30:50.960
 the presence

00:30:50.960 --> 00:30:52.040
 of her

00:30:52.040 --> 00:30:52.360
 risen

00:30:52.360 --> 00:30:52.840
 Lord

00:30:52.840 --> 00:30:54.000
 go to

00:30:54.000 --> 00:30:54.700
 my brother

00:30:54.700 --> 00:30:55.520
 says Jesus

00:30:55.520 --> 00:30:56.080
 to Mary

00:30:56.080 --> 00:30:57.120
 Magdalene

00:30:57.120 --> 00:30:57.960
 and say

00:30:57.960 --> 00:30:58.340
 to them

00:30:58.340 --> 00:30:58.700
 I am

00:30:58.700 --> 00:30:59.160
 ascended

00:30:59.160 --> 00:30:59.600
 to my

00:30:59.600 --> 00:31:00.060
 father

00:31:00.060 --> 00:31:00.480
 and your

00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:00.860
 father

00:31:00.860 --> 00:31:01.320
 to my

00:31:01.320 --> 00:31:01.680
 God

00:31:01.680 --> 00:31:02.640
 and your

00:31:02.640 --> 00:31:03.220
 God

00:31:03.220 --> 00:31:05.460
 despite

00:31:05.460 --> 00:31:05.900
 their

00:31:05.900 --> 00:31:06.480
 failings

00:31:06.480 --> 00:31:06.960
 despite

00:31:06.960 --> 00:31:07.320
 their

00:31:07.320 --> 00:31:08.140
 shortcomings

00:31:08.140 --> 00:31:09.120
 the letter

00:31:09.120 --> 00:31:09.560
 to the

00:31:09.560 --> 00:31:09.920
 Hebrews

00:31:09.920 --> 00:31:10.980
 reminds us

00:31:10.980 --> 00:31:12.059
 the risen

00:31:12.059 --> 00:31:12.740
 Christ

00:31:12.740 --> 00:31:13.539
 it's not

00:31:13.539 --> 00:31:13.940
 a shame

00:31:13.940 --> 00:31:14.440
 to call

00:31:14.440 --> 00:31:14.620
 them

00:31:14.620 --> 00:31:15.220
 brothers

00:31:15.220 --> 00:31:16.920
 and that

00:31:16.920 --> 00:31:17.680
 demonstrates

00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:18.140
 that the

00:31:18.140 --> 00:31:18.799
 strengths

00:31:18.799 --> 00:31:20.000
 of the

00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:20.480
 family

00:31:20.480 --> 00:31:21.120
 bonds

00:31:21.120 --> 00:31:21.940
 of grace

00:31:21.940 --> 00:31:22.860
 are very

00:31:22.860 --> 00:31:23.480
 strong

00:31:23.480 --> 00:31:24.720
 they're not

00:31:24.720 --> 00:31:25.220
 weak

00:31:25.220 --> 00:31:26.559
 in fact

00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:26.799
 they're

00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:27.700
 unbreakable

00:31:27.700 --> 00:31:29.039
 bonds

00:31:29.039 --> 00:31:33.619
 I am

00:31:33.619 --> 00:31:34.139
 ascending

00:31:34.139 --> 00:31:34.839
 says Jesus

00:31:34.839 --> 00:31:35.980
 to Mary

00:31:35.980 --> 00:31:36.579
 Magdalene

00:31:36.579 --> 00:31:36.920
 in other

00:31:36.920 --> 00:31:37.139
 words

00:31:37.139 --> 00:31:37.619
 he's

00:31:37.619 --> 00:31:38.099
 lifting

00:31:38.099 --> 00:31:38.379
 her

00:31:38.379 --> 00:31:38.960
 focus

00:31:38.960 --> 00:31:40.000
 heavenward

00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:41.259
 and as

00:31:41.259 --> 00:31:41.899
 one writer

00:31:41.899 --> 00:31:42.819
 expressed it

00:31:42.819 --> 00:31:43.799
 we thank

00:31:43.799 --> 00:31:44.379
 God

00:31:44.379 --> 00:31:45.200
 for that

00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:45.799
 message

00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:46.559
 for it

00:31:46.559 --> 00:31:47.079
 has lifted

00:31:47.079 --> 00:31:47.639
 our eyes

00:31:47.639 --> 00:31:48.240
 upwards

00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:49.399
 more than

00:31:49.399 --> 00:31:50.000
 any other

00:31:50.000 --> 00:31:50.599
 message

00:31:50.599 --> 00:31:51.859
 that ever

00:31:51.859 --> 00:31:52.659
 reached us

00:31:52.659 --> 00:31:54.399
 the phrase

00:31:54.399 --> 00:31:54.819
 I am

00:31:54.819 --> 00:31:55.500
 ascending

00:31:55.500 --> 00:31:56.899
 has snapped

00:31:56.899 --> 00:31:57.740
 the cords

00:31:57.740 --> 00:31:58.660
 that bind us

00:31:58.660 --> 00:31:59.279
 to the

00:31:59.279 --> 00:31:59.940
 dust

00:31:59.940 --> 00:32:00.759
 it has

00:32:00.759 --> 00:32:01.319
 given us

00:32:01.319 --> 00:32:01.900
 a heavenly

00:32:01.900 --> 00:32:02.779
 citizenship

00:32:02.779 --> 00:32:03.920
 and a heavenly

00:32:03.920 --> 00:32:04.460
 hope

00:32:04.460 --> 00:32:05.940
 it has ensured

00:32:05.940 --> 00:32:07.120
 that the

00:32:07.120 --> 00:32:08.180
 Christian's eye

00:32:08.180 --> 00:32:09.759
 should gaze

00:32:09.759 --> 00:32:10.700
 evermore

00:32:10.700 --> 00:32:12.519
 not backwards

00:32:12.519 --> 00:32:14.120
 but upwards

00:32:14.119 --> 00:32:16.719
 that quote

00:32:16.719 --> 00:32:17.139
 came

00:32:17.139 --> 00:32:18.219
 from the

00:32:18.219 --> 00:32:18.459
 late

00:32:18.459 --> 00:32:19.019
 professor

00:32:19.019 --> 00:32:19.539
 R.A.

00:32:19.659 --> 00:32:20.279
 Findlayson

00:32:20.279 --> 00:32:21.500
 one time

00:32:21.500 --> 00:32:22.059
 professor

00:32:22.059 --> 00:32:22.459
 of

00:32:22.459 --> 00:32:23.659
 theology

00:32:23.659 --> 00:32:24.659
 in our

00:32:24.659 --> 00:32:25.319
 college

00:32:25.319 --> 00:32:27.079
 the feet

00:32:27.079 --> 00:32:27.919
 of Christ

00:32:27.919 --> 00:32:29.199
 he has

00:32:29.199 --> 00:32:29.819
 risen

00:32:29.819 --> 00:32:30.859
 Jesus

00:32:30.859 --> 00:32:31.899
 is alive

00:32:31.899 --> 00:32:33.479
 how much

00:32:33.479 --> 00:32:34.039
 does that

00:32:34.039 --> 00:32:34.479
 mean

00:32:34.479 --> 00:32:35.439
 to you

00:32:35.439 --> 00:32:35.899
 and me

00:32:35.899 --> 00:32:36.639
 this evening

00:32:36.639 --> 00:32:38.099
 do we

00:32:38.099 --> 00:32:38.799
 delight in

00:32:38.799 --> 00:32:39.379
 the fact

00:32:39.379 --> 00:32:40.339
 that he

00:32:40.339 --> 00:32:40.879
 is risen

00:32:40.879 --> 00:32:42.159
 do we

00:32:42.159 --> 00:32:42.799
 take comfort

00:32:42.799 --> 00:32:43.579
 from it

00:32:43.579 --> 00:32:44.799
 are we

00:32:44.799 --> 00:32:45.500
 looking to

00:32:45.500 --> 00:32:45.779
 the

00:32:45.779 --> 00:32:46.460
 risen

00:32:46.460 --> 00:32:47.079
 Christ

00:32:47.079 --> 00:32:47.599
 as we

00:32:47.599 --> 00:32:47.939
 live

00:32:47.939 --> 00:32:48.240
 each

00:32:48.240 --> 00:32:48.759
 day

00:32:48.759 --> 00:32:51.960
 and can

00:32:51.960 --> 00:32:52.519
 we say

00:32:52.519 --> 00:32:53.379
 with Thomas

00:32:53.379 --> 00:32:55.379
 my Lord

00:32:55.379 --> 00:32:56.379
 and my

00:32:56.379 --> 00:32:57.039
 God

00:32:57.039 --> 00:32:58.579
 or is it

00:32:58.579 --> 00:32:59.299
 true that

00:32:59.299 --> 00:32:59.639
 we are

00:32:59.639 --> 00:33:00.460
 totally

00:33:00.460 --> 00:33:01.159
 indifferent

00:33:01.159 --> 00:33:02.199
 to this

00:33:02.199 --> 00:33:02.839
 marvelous

00:33:02.839 --> 00:33:03.539
 fact

00:33:03.539 --> 00:33:05.000
 that Jesus

00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:06.319
 who became

00:33:06.319 --> 00:33:06.899
 dead

00:33:06.899 --> 00:33:08.379
 is alive

00:33:08.379 --> 00:33:09.319
 forever

00:33:09.319 --> 00:33:10.039
 more

00:33:10.039 --> 00:33:11.699
 you know

00:33:11.699 --> 00:33:12.460
 we will all

00:33:12.460 --> 00:33:12.899
 have to

00:33:12.899 --> 00:33:13.419
 meet him

00:33:13.420 --> 00:33:14.580
 sooner

00:33:14.580 --> 00:33:16.259
 or later

00:33:16.259 --> 00:33:17.840
 how do

00:33:17.840 --> 00:33:18.700
 you anticipate

00:33:18.700 --> 00:33:21.240
 doing so

00:33:21.240 --> 00:33:22.320
 if you

00:33:22.320 --> 00:33:23.220
 continue to

00:33:23.220 --> 00:33:23.800
 reject

00:33:23.800 --> 00:33:25.100
 the risen

00:33:25.100 --> 00:33:25.820
 Christ

00:33:25.820 --> 00:33:28.420
 the primary

00:33:28.420 --> 00:33:29.180
 significance

00:33:29.180 --> 00:33:30.620
 of the fact

00:33:30.620 --> 00:33:30.920
 of the

00:33:30.920 --> 00:33:31.740
 empty tomb

00:33:31.740 --> 00:33:32.880
 death

00:33:32.880 --> 00:33:33.880
 is no

00:33:33.880 --> 00:33:34.300
 longer

00:33:34.300 --> 00:33:34.840
 king

00:33:34.840 --> 00:33:36.420
 and finally

00:33:36.420 --> 00:33:37.700
 the focus

00:33:37.700 --> 00:33:38.539
 on personal

00:33:38.539 --> 00:33:39.580
 experience

00:33:39.579 --> 00:33:40.639
 you know

00:33:40.639 --> 00:33:41.839
 woven into

00:33:41.839 --> 00:33:42.699
 the fabric

00:33:42.699 --> 00:33:43.740
 of the

00:33:43.740 --> 00:33:44.339
 resurrection

00:33:44.339 --> 00:33:45.220
 story

00:33:45.220 --> 00:33:46.559
 is the

00:33:46.559 --> 00:33:47.240
 focus

00:33:47.240 --> 00:33:48.740
 on personal

00:33:48.740 --> 00:33:49.799
 experience

00:33:49.799 --> 00:33:50.799
 on the

00:33:50.799 --> 00:33:51.279
 part of

00:33:51.279 --> 00:33:51.579
 some

00:33:51.579 --> 00:33:52.939
 I have

00:33:52.939 --> 00:33:53.319
 already

00:33:53.319 --> 00:33:53.879
 referred

00:33:53.879 --> 00:33:55.899
 to some

00:33:55.899 --> 00:33:56.519
 of those

00:33:56.519 --> 00:33:57.099
 who saw

00:33:57.099 --> 00:33:59.019
 and you

00:33:59.019 --> 00:33:59.559
 remember

00:33:59.559 --> 00:34:01.240
 how John

00:34:01.240 --> 00:34:02.159
 records for

00:34:02.159 --> 00:34:02.619
 us that

00:34:02.619 --> 00:34:03.460
 Thomas was

00:34:03.460 --> 00:34:04.240
 not present

00:34:04.240 --> 00:34:05.660
 when the

00:34:05.660 --> 00:34:06.579
 Lord first

00:34:06.579 --> 00:34:07.200
 met with

00:34:07.200 --> 00:34:07.920
 the disciples

00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:09.219
 on the

00:34:09.219 --> 00:34:09.880
 first day

00:34:09.880 --> 00:34:10.219
 of the

00:34:10.219 --> 00:34:10.559
 week

00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:12.800
 and the

00:34:12.800 --> 00:34:13.059
 other

00:34:13.059 --> 00:34:13.760
 disciples

00:34:13.760 --> 00:34:15.019
 wishing to

00:34:15.019 --> 00:34:15.780
 share the

00:34:15.780 --> 00:34:16.639
 good news

00:34:16.639 --> 00:34:17.940
 naturally

00:34:17.940 --> 00:34:19.179
 told Thomas

00:34:19.179 --> 00:34:20.599
 we have

00:34:20.599 --> 00:34:21.059
 seen the

00:34:21.059 --> 00:34:21.579
 Lord

00:34:21.579 --> 00:34:24.780
 words

00:34:24.780 --> 00:34:25.300
 surely

00:34:25.300 --> 00:34:26.900
 that spoke

00:34:26.900 --> 00:34:27.440
 of their

00:34:27.440 --> 00:34:28.199
 conviction

00:34:28.199 --> 00:34:30.099
 but also

00:34:30.099 --> 00:34:30.619
 of their

00:34:30.619 --> 00:34:32.039
 great joy

00:34:32.039 --> 00:34:34.579
 I don't

00:34:34.579 --> 00:34:35.299
 think that

00:34:35.299 --> 00:34:36.619
 just reading

00:34:36.619 --> 00:34:37.139
 the bare

00:34:37.139 --> 00:34:37.759
 words

00:34:37.759 --> 00:34:39.379
 that they

00:34:39.379 --> 00:34:39.960
 convey

00:34:39.960 --> 00:34:41.059
 the sheer

00:34:41.059 --> 00:34:42.480
 exuberant

00:34:42.480 --> 00:34:43.079
 joy

00:34:43.079 --> 00:34:44.500
 of the

00:34:44.500 --> 00:34:45.099
 disciples

00:34:45.099 --> 00:34:47.399
 and every

00:34:47.399 --> 00:34:48.359
 person brought

00:34:48.359 --> 00:34:49.319
 to faith

00:34:49.319 --> 00:34:50.119
 in Christ

00:34:50.119 --> 00:34:51.500
 can testify

00:34:51.500 --> 00:34:52.439
 to a

00:34:52.439 --> 00:34:53.119
 greater or

00:34:53.119 --> 00:34:53.379
 lesser

00:34:53.379 --> 00:34:54.059
 extent

00:34:54.059 --> 00:34:55.539
 of the

00:34:55.539 --> 00:34:56.239
 joy in

00:34:56.239 --> 00:34:56.419
 their

00:34:56.419 --> 00:34:57.119
 lives

00:34:57.119 --> 00:34:58.420
 that cannot

00:34:58.420 --> 00:34:59.819
 be smothered

00:34:59.819 --> 00:35:01.519
 by grief

00:35:01.519 --> 00:35:03.480
 no matter

00:35:03.480 --> 00:35:04.980
 how great

00:35:04.980 --> 00:35:05.779
 the grief

00:35:05.779 --> 00:35:08.299
 and eight

00:35:08.299 --> 00:35:09.159
 days later

00:35:09.159 --> 00:35:10.019
 John tells

00:35:10.019 --> 00:35:10.980
 us Thomas

00:35:10.980 --> 00:35:11.900
 was present

00:35:11.900 --> 00:35:12.359
 and made

00:35:12.359 --> 00:35:13.179
 the acknowledgement

00:35:13.179 --> 00:35:13.759
 that I've

00:35:13.759 --> 00:35:14.619
 already referred

00:35:14.619 --> 00:35:15.900
 to that has

00:35:15.900 --> 00:35:16.920
 resonated with

00:35:16.920 --> 00:35:17.920
 so many people

00:35:17.920 --> 00:35:18.839
 over the years

00:35:18.839 --> 00:35:19.920
 my Lord

00:35:19.920 --> 00:35:20.920
 and my

00:35:20.920 --> 00:35:21.500
 God

00:35:21.500 --> 00:35:24.099
 the

00:35:24.099 --> 00:35:24.799
 disciples

00:35:24.799 --> 00:35:25.980
 sight

00:35:25.980 --> 00:35:26.900
 of the

00:35:26.900 --> 00:35:27.200
 risen

00:35:27.200 --> 00:35:27.740
 Jesus

00:35:27.740 --> 00:35:29.840
 was shared

00:35:29.840 --> 00:35:30.740
 by a

00:35:30.740 --> 00:35:31.519
 remarkable

00:35:31.519 --> 00:35:32.599
 diverse

00:35:32.599 --> 00:35:33.880
 assortment

00:35:33.880 --> 00:35:34.559
 of people

00:35:34.559 --> 00:35:36.380
 all with

00:35:36.380 --> 00:35:37.000
 different

00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:38.280
 personalities

00:35:38.280 --> 00:35:39.760
 Paul in

00:35:39.760 --> 00:35:40.240
 his first

00:35:40.240 --> 00:35:40.860
 letter to

00:35:40.860 --> 00:35:41.059
 the

00:35:41.059 --> 00:35:41.519
 Corinthians

00:35:41.519 --> 00:35:42.039
 writes

00:35:42.039 --> 00:35:42.700
 that he

00:35:42.700 --> 00:35:43.079
 appeared

00:35:43.079 --> 00:35:43.400
 to more

00:35:43.400 --> 00:35:44.220
 than 500

00:35:44.220 --> 00:35:44.860
 brothers

00:35:44.860 --> 00:35:45.980
 at one

00:35:45.980 --> 00:35:46.380
 time

00:35:46.380 --> 00:35:46.720
 and I

00:35:46.720 --> 00:35:47.079
 mention

00:35:47.079 --> 00:35:47.740
 that fact

00:35:47.740 --> 00:35:48.660
 in case

00:35:48.660 --> 00:35:49.039
 anyone

00:35:49.039 --> 00:35:49.539
 present

00:35:49.539 --> 00:35:50.420
 is of

00:35:50.420 --> 00:35:50.920
 the view

00:35:50.920 --> 00:35:51.880
 that the

00:35:51.880 --> 00:35:52.139
 risen

00:35:52.139 --> 00:35:52.660
 Jesus

00:35:52.660 --> 00:35:53.639
 merely

00:35:53.639 --> 00:35:54.180
 appeared

00:35:54.180 --> 00:35:54.639
 to just

00:35:54.639 --> 00:35:54.839
 a

00:35:54.839 --> 00:35:55.420
 handful

00:35:55.420 --> 00:35:58.099
 the

00:35:58.099 --> 00:35:58.659
 sight

00:35:58.659 --> 00:35:59.400
 of the

00:35:59.400 --> 00:35:59.679
 risen

00:35:59.679 --> 00:36:00.339
 Jesus

00:36:00.339 --> 00:36:01.279
 brought

00:36:01.279 --> 00:36:01.900
 peace

00:36:01.900 --> 00:36:02.519
 to

00:36:02.519 --> 00:36:02.940
 troubled

00:36:02.940 --> 00:36:03.579
 hearts

00:36:03.579 --> 00:36:06.219
 and those

00:36:06.219 --> 00:36:07.079
 who saw

00:36:07.079 --> 00:36:07.599
 the risen

00:36:07.599 --> 00:36:08.119
 Jesus

00:36:08.119 --> 00:36:09.000
 they were

00:36:09.000 --> 00:36:09.559
 given a

00:36:09.559 --> 00:36:10.079
 commission

00:36:10.079 --> 00:36:12.099
 that gave

00:36:12.099 --> 00:36:12.659
 purpose

00:36:12.659 --> 00:36:13.679
 and direction

00:36:13.679 --> 00:36:14.199
 to their

00:36:14.199 --> 00:36:14.739
 lives

00:36:14.739 --> 00:36:16.159
 go

00:36:16.159 --> 00:36:16.739
 therefore

00:36:16.739 --> 00:36:17.879
 was the

00:36:17.879 --> 00:36:18.339
 commission

00:36:18.339 --> 00:36:18.819
 that was

00:36:18.819 --> 00:36:19.440
 entrusted

00:36:19.440 --> 00:36:19.900
 to them

00:36:19.900 --> 00:36:20.699
 and make

00:36:20.699 --> 00:36:21.259
 disciples

00:36:21.260 --> 00:36:21.800
 of all

00:36:21.800 --> 00:36:22.180
 nations

00:36:22.180 --> 00:36:23.240
 baptizing

00:36:23.240 --> 00:36:23.520
 them

00:36:23.520 --> 00:36:23.800
 in the

00:36:23.800 --> 00:36:23.980
 name

00:36:23.980 --> 00:36:24.260
 of the

00:36:24.260 --> 00:36:24.540
 Father

00:36:24.540 --> 00:36:24.800
 the

00:36:24.800 --> 00:36:25.020
 Son

00:36:25.020 --> 00:36:25.300
 and the

00:36:25.300 --> 00:36:25.540
 Holy

00:36:25.540 --> 00:36:25.940
 Spirit

00:36:25.940 --> 00:36:26.660
 teaching

00:36:26.660 --> 00:36:26.920
 them

00:36:26.920 --> 00:36:27.500
 to observe

00:36:27.500 --> 00:36:27.940
 all that

00:36:27.940 --> 00:36:28.200
 I have

00:36:28.200 --> 00:36:28.640
 commanded

00:36:28.640 --> 00:36:28.940
 you

00:36:28.940 --> 00:36:29.840
 and behold

00:36:29.840 --> 00:36:30.220
 I am

00:36:30.220 --> 00:36:30.720
 with you

00:36:30.720 --> 00:36:31.900
 all the way

00:36:31.900 --> 00:36:32.780
 to the

00:36:32.780 --> 00:36:33.200
 end of

00:36:33.200 --> 00:36:33.440
 the age

00:36:33.440 --> 00:36:33.760
 what a

00:36:33.760 --> 00:36:34.140
 marvelous

00:36:34.140 --> 00:36:34.840
 promise

00:36:34.840 --> 00:36:36.860
 and he
