00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.419
 Good morning, everyone.

00:00:02.940 --> 00:00:04.980
 If I've met you before, my name is Steve.

00:00:05.060 --> 00:00:06.600
 I'm the senior pastor here at St. Paul's.

00:00:08.060 --> 00:00:09.859
 And I just want to say as I kick off,

00:00:09.919 --> 00:00:13.519
 really grateful for those who do the translation work for me in advance,

00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:17.280
 submit a sermon in advance so that they can do the translation

00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:21.059
 so that those who are not as sharp with English

00:00:21.059 --> 00:00:23.219
 or can't follow my English

00:00:23.219 --> 00:00:24.980
 have got something in their own language.

00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:29.000
 And so thank you, John, for this last week.

00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:32.920
 Let me just say I've actually changed it since then,

00:00:33.340 --> 00:00:36.340
 particularly the introduction bit mainly,

00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:38.820
 mainly because I read something this morning

00:00:38.820 --> 00:00:40.780
 which prompted my attention

00:00:40.780 --> 00:00:43.799
 and I thought would be particularly useful for us this morning.

00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:46.560
 So if you've got John chapter 20 open in front of you,

00:00:46.620 --> 00:00:47.359
 that would be awesome.

00:00:48.219 --> 00:00:50.019
 Also, there's St. Paul's app.

00:00:50.379 --> 00:00:53.480
 You can download that and I've got an outline there for us.

00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:55.500
 So here it is.

00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:57.859
 Read this this morning in the Australian newspaper.

00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:03.140
 Immortality has become the great question mark.

00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:06.579
 The answer used to be provided at Easter

00:01:06.579 --> 00:01:10.079
 with the Christian climax in the death by crucifixion

00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:11.620
 followed by resurrection.

00:01:12.540 --> 00:01:14.879
 The Jesus story wrestled with death,

00:01:15.140 --> 00:01:17.640
 not being merely death.

00:01:18.340 --> 00:01:19.340
 Today, however,

00:01:19.340 --> 00:01:24.299
 the sacred meaning of Easter is little more than a dusty relic.

00:01:24.299 --> 00:01:26.960
 For the secular modern age,

00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:31.280
 belief in any form of life after death is in doubt.

00:01:32.240 --> 00:01:36.040
 Most no longer believe in any form of supernatural being.

00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:40.000
 God has become a figment of the archaic imagination.

00:01:40.960 --> 00:01:44.080
 Gods of any type are mere alien superstitions

00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:49.859
 held once upon a time by naive and even primitive ancestors.

00:01:50.659 --> 00:01:51.500
 All in all,

00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:56.400
 human consciousness has narrowed down to focus on mortal life.

00:01:56.920 --> 00:01:57.459
 Here,

00:01:57.900 --> 00:01:58.459
 now,

00:01:59.019 --> 00:02:01.439
 and on this worldly plane.

00:02:02.099 --> 00:02:05.000
 A finite span bound by death,

00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:07.079
 by birth and death,

00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:11.199
 and governed by everyday pleasures and pains.

00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:13.259
 Well,

00:02:13.300 --> 00:02:15.439
 it's Easter Day 2021

00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:17.479
 in modern Australia,

00:02:17.659 --> 00:02:17.939
 so,

00:02:18.979 --> 00:02:19.400
 frankly,

00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:20.340
 why are we here?

00:02:20.340 --> 00:02:23.180
 If that article's true,

00:02:23.340 --> 00:02:24.219
 why are you here?

00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:26.159
 Why even bother?

00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:28.099
 Why not just eat the chocolate,

00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:29.580
 go out for breakfast,

00:02:29.740 --> 00:02:31.120
 and get ready to head to the beach?

00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:33.379
 Why bother even turning up?

00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:35.219
 This article,

00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:36.120
 and many like it,

00:02:36.200 --> 00:02:37.939
 raises two big questions

00:02:37.939 --> 00:02:39.099
 about Easter,

00:02:39.219 --> 00:02:40.039
 and not just about Easter,

00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:41.520
 but about the truth of Christianity.

00:02:42.500 --> 00:02:43.340
 It's central,

00:02:43.460 --> 00:02:44.620
 and the essential event

00:02:44.620 --> 00:02:46.759
 of the death and resurrection of Jesus.

00:02:46.920 --> 00:02:47.980
 The first question is,

00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:49.180
 the truth question.

00:02:49.180 --> 00:02:50.000
 The second question is,

00:02:50.040 --> 00:02:50.780
 the meaning question.

00:02:51.700 --> 00:02:54.020
 Whenever we talk about the resurrection of Jesus,

00:02:54.140 --> 00:02:56.060
 the truth question and the meaning question

00:02:56.060 --> 00:02:57.480
 are intertwined.

00:02:57.879 --> 00:02:59.060
 They are deeply connected.

00:02:59.540 --> 00:03:00.360
 The truth question,

00:03:00.780 --> 00:03:02.040
 did it actually happen?

00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:03.760
 The meaning question,

00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:06.780
 who cares that it happened or not happened?

00:03:09.540 --> 00:03:11.400
 Humanity rejects Easter,

00:03:11.620 --> 00:03:12.200
 Christianity,

00:03:12.900 --> 00:03:14.900
 the lordship of Jesus Christ,

00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:16.340
 on both of those accounts.

00:03:17.140 --> 00:03:17.280
 See,

00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:18.420
 about 50 years ago,

00:03:19.180 --> 00:03:20.240
 an article like that

00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:21.099
 would not have appeared

00:03:21.099 --> 00:03:23.200
 in an Australian newspaper.

00:03:23.980 --> 00:03:24.780
 50 years ago,

00:03:24.860 --> 00:03:26.260
 people lived with the assumption

00:03:26.260 --> 00:03:28.140
 that there are universal laws

00:03:28.140 --> 00:03:29.400
 that govern the universe.

00:03:30.340 --> 00:03:32.240
 Resurrection was rejected

00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:33.599
 on the basis

00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:35.280
 of it not fitting

00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:37.700
 into the common person's

00:03:38.420 --> 00:03:39.939
 observable laws.

00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:42.900
 That's now changed.

00:03:42.900 --> 00:03:44.460
 Today,

00:03:44.460 --> 00:03:48.580
 the assumption is that there is a personal law

00:03:48.580 --> 00:03:49.659
 inside of me.

00:03:50.020 --> 00:03:51.180
 Not a universal law,

00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:52.240
 a personal law.

00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:54.520
 It's called individualism.

00:03:55.099 --> 00:03:57.020
 And one form of individualism

00:03:57.020 --> 00:03:59.120
 is the personal law that says,

00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:03.039
 I don't have to adapt my life

00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:05.599
 to anything that I don't find

00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:07.039
 personally helpful for me.

00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:10.819
 Truth for me

00:04:10.819 --> 00:04:13.280
 is what I find acceptable,

00:04:14.140 --> 00:04:14.560
 helpful,

00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:15.719
 useful,

00:04:16.100 --> 00:04:17.920
 and affirming of me

00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:18.800
 and my worldview.

00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:19.819
 That's truth.

00:04:21.420 --> 00:04:22.960
 So both questions.

00:04:24.400 --> 00:04:25.520
 The truth question

00:04:25.520 --> 00:04:27.740
 and the so what question

00:04:27.740 --> 00:04:29.800
 are important to address

00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:31.520
 at the same time

00:04:31.520 --> 00:04:32.939
 and no more important

00:04:32.939 --> 00:04:33.560
 than now

00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:35.139
 on Easter Day.

00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:36.780
 And so the next little while

00:04:36.780 --> 00:04:38.100
 I'm going to briefly tackle

00:04:38.100 --> 00:04:39.920
 those two questions

00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:42.540
 and land with a third point.

00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:44.160
 So I've got the truth question,

00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:45.180
 the who cares question,

00:04:45.180 --> 00:04:47.120
 and what it means for us

00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:47.900
 on Easter Day

00:04:47.900 --> 00:04:49.780
 to discover some certainty,

00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:51.160
 certain hope.

00:04:51.840 --> 00:04:52.860
 So the truth question.

00:04:53.620 --> 00:04:54.759
 The great C.S. Lewis

00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:56.000
 once wrote

00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:56.660
 that in a world

00:04:56.660 --> 00:04:57.540
 that was making

00:04:57.540 --> 00:04:58.780
 rapid advancement

00:04:58.780 --> 00:05:00.819
 in scientific understanding,

00:05:00.980 --> 00:05:01.240
 he said,

00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:02.579
 there's a great danger for us

00:05:02.579 --> 00:05:03.720
 in our modern age

00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:04.960
 of what he called

00:05:04.960 --> 00:05:06.460
 a chronological snobbery.

00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:08.620
 It's the assumption

00:05:08.620 --> 00:05:09.879
 that any conclusion

00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:10.519
 that's made

00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:11.939
 from previous generations

00:05:11.939 --> 00:05:14.259
 is fundamentally based

00:05:14.259 --> 00:05:14.980
 on ignorance.

00:05:15.180 --> 00:05:16.840
 for instance,

00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:18.019
 chronological snobbery

00:05:18.019 --> 00:05:19.120
 might lead

00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:20.540
 some to conclude

00:05:20.540 --> 00:05:21.300
 that the people

00:05:21.300 --> 00:05:23.120
 around Jesus' time

00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:25.660
 were just gullible,

00:05:25.900 --> 00:05:27.439
 simple peasants

00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:28.280
 who were just

00:05:28.280 --> 00:05:29.439
 ignorant of reality

00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:31.220
 and just believed anything.

00:05:32.860 --> 00:05:33.460
 And yet that's not

00:05:33.460 --> 00:05:34.319
 the picture we get

00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:34.939
 when we look at

00:05:34.939 --> 00:05:35.800
 John chapter 20.

00:05:35.860 --> 00:05:36.120
 If you've got

00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:36.840
 John chapter 20,

00:05:36.939 --> 00:05:38.079
 open it up for me again.

00:05:39.220 --> 00:05:40.379
 Look at the very first

00:05:40.379 --> 00:05:41.600
 two verses there.

00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:43.740
 Early on the first day

00:05:43.740 --> 00:05:44.199
 of the week,

00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:45.519
 while it was still dark,

00:05:45.659 --> 00:05:46.439
 Mary Magdalene

00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:47.420
 went to the tomb

00:05:47.420 --> 00:05:48.920
 and saw that the stone

00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:49.860
 had been removed

00:05:49.860 --> 00:05:50.920
 from the entrance.

00:05:52.019 --> 00:05:52.879
 And so she came

00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:54.500
 running to Simon Peter

00:05:54.500 --> 00:05:56.039
 and the other disciple,

00:05:56.159 --> 00:05:57.560
 the one whom Jesus loved,

00:05:58.240 --> 00:05:58.920
 and said,

00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:00.259
 and notice what she says,

00:06:01.919 --> 00:06:03.339
 they've taken the Lord

00:06:03.339 --> 00:06:04.399
 out of the tomb

00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:05.439
 and we don't know

00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:06.060
 where they put him.

00:06:06.060 --> 00:06:09.780
 Now you see,

00:06:09.860 --> 00:06:10.399
 Jesus,

00:06:10.980 --> 00:06:11.959
 a number of times

00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:14.259
 before his execution,

00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:16.819
 he said,

00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:17.699
 I'm going to come back

00:06:17.699 --> 00:06:19.199
 to life after they kill me.

00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:21.439
 And yet,

00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:22.279
 in this moment,

00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:23.740
 this is not what Mary's expecting.

00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:27.120
 One of his keenest followers

00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:28.560
 doesn't come to the conclusion,

00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:32.500
 he said he was going to rise.

00:06:35.019 --> 00:06:36.839
 The first assumption here,

00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:38.000
 somebody,

00:06:38.180 --> 00:06:39.259
 whoever they is,

00:06:39.500 --> 00:06:41.139
 somebody has taken

00:06:41.139 --> 00:06:42.439
 the body,

00:06:43.740 --> 00:06:44.420
 moved it.

00:06:45.100 --> 00:06:46.540
 It's the same in verse 13.

00:06:47.019 --> 00:06:48.899
 She was working on the assumption

00:06:48.899 --> 00:06:49.800
 that most likely

00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:50.660
 the Jewish leaders

00:06:50.660 --> 00:06:51.319
 or the Romans

00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:51.920
 or someone

00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:53.160
 have taken the body

00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:54.060
 and dumped it

00:06:54.060 --> 00:06:55.180
 outside the city limits.

00:06:55.180 --> 00:06:56.699
 That is,

00:06:57.840 --> 00:06:58.259
 Mary,

00:06:59.040 --> 00:06:59.800
 first century,

00:07:00.139 --> 00:07:01.240
 gullible peasant,

00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:03.300
 doesn't jump to the conclusion

00:07:03.300 --> 00:07:05.500
 that Jesus is resurrected.

00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:08.780
 Even Peter and John,

00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:10.519
 two of the key followers of Jesus,

00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:12.000
 didn't automatically

00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:13.040
 jump to the conclusion

00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:14.579
 that Jesus had been resurrected.

00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:15.680
 Have a look at verse 8.

00:07:17.420 --> 00:07:17.899
 Finally,

00:07:18.019 --> 00:07:18.780
 the other disciple

00:07:18.780 --> 00:07:20.780
 who had reached the tomb first

00:07:20.780 --> 00:07:22.460
 also went inside.

00:07:23.620 --> 00:07:24.259
 He saw

00:07:24.259 --> 00:07:25.860
 and believed.

00:07:26.699 --> 00:07:27.219
 But verse 9,

00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:28.319
 they did not understand

00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:29.079
 from scripture

00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:30.800
 that Jesus had to rise

00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:31.300
 from the dead.

00:07:31.459 --> 00:07:31.800
 That is,

00:07:31.819 --> 00:07:33.279
 they believed the testimony

00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:35.139
 of what Mary had said,

00:07:35.420 --> 00:07:36.459
 the tomb's empty.

00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:37.779
 And so they believed that,

00:07:37.839 --> 00:07:38.959
 but they had not yet

00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:39.920
 come to the conclusion

00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:41.759
 that Jesus had resurrected.

00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:43.139
 This tells me

00:07:43.139 --> 00:07:44.139
 that these early followers

00:07:44.139 --> 00:07:44.620
 of Jesus

00:07:44.620 --> 00:07:46.120
 were not gullible people.

00:07:46.779 --> 00:07:48.180
 Jesus told them repeatedly

00:07:48.180 --> 00:07:49.620
 that he would come back to life.

00:07:50.060 --> 00:07:51.480
 But they weren't looking for it.

00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:54.140
 And yet,

00:07:54.420 --> 00:07:56.100
 what they were confronted with

00:07:56.100 --> 00:07:57.280
 on that morning

00:07:57.280 --> 00:08:01.580
 was a bodiless tomb.

00:08:03.140 --> 00:08:04.500
 All the evidence

00:08:04.500 --> 00:08:06.160
 pointed to a bodiless tomb.

00:08:06.500 --> 00:08:08.000
 There was no body

00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:08.939
 in the tomb.

00:08:09.500 --> 00:08:09.900
 In fact,

00:08:09.960 --> 00:08:11.000
 one of the great

00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:13.379
 historical evidences

00:08:13.379 --> 00:08:14.700
 of the resurrection

00:08:14.699 --> 00:08:17.079
 is that to this day,

00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:19.300
 no one can explain

00:08:19.300 --> 00:08:21.240
 why the tomb was empty

00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:22.420
 apart from a resurrection.

00:08:23.819 --> 00:08:24.979
 To this day,

00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:27.459
 historical evidence

00:08:27.459 --> 00:08:28.779
 that tomb was empty

00:08:28.779 --> 00:08:30.839
 and it still cannot be explained

00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:32.299
 except for a resurrection.

00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:35.240
 And even the enemies of Jesus

00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:37.120
 could not produce the body.

00:08:37.539 --> 00:08:38.600
 And if they could have,

00:08:38.779 --> 00:08:39.759
 they would have ended

00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:42.080
 this whole Christian movement thing

00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:43.620
 within a day.

00:08:44.419 --> 00:08:44.779
 Done.

00:08:45.379 --> 00:08:45.799
 Finished.

00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:47.500
 There's your Messiah.

00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:49.000
 Right there.

00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:55.019
 So what are some of the more

00:08:55.019 --> 00:08:57.919
 modern explanations

00:08:57.919 --> 00:08:59.379
 of an empty tomb?

00:08:59.460 --> 00:08:59.980
 What are the ones

00:08:59.980 --> 00:09:01.620
 people that have come up with

00:09:01.620 --> 00:09:02.399
 more recently?

00:09:03.500 --> 00:09:04.439
 Some have suggested,

00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:05.220
 well, in actual fact,

00:09:05.259 --> 00:09:06.200
 Jesus didn't really die.

00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:07.840
 He was revived.

00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:08.139
 You know,

00:09:08.179 --> 00:09:09.600
 put in the coolness,

00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:10.580
 of the,

00:09:10.580 --> 00:09:11.419
 you know,

00:09:11.500 --> 00:09:11.919
 tomb.

00:09:12.299 --> 00:09:13.179
 He revived,

00:09:13.319 --> 00:09:14.379
 moved the stone himself

00:09:14.379 --> 00:09:16.419
 and disappeared

00:09:16.419 --> 00:09:18.539
 in history somewhere.

00:09:21.899 --> 00:09:22.480
 Of course,

00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:23.559
 that doesn't come to grips

00:09:23.559 --> 00:09:24.439
 with the actual

00:09:24.439 --> 00:09:25.679
 horrible realities

00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:26.899
 of crucifixion.

00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:29.720
 The rigorous steps

00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:31.220
 that Pilate

00:09:31.220 --> 00:09:32.080
 and the leaders

00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:32.799
 demanded

00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:33.480
 to make sure

00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:34.019
 that he was,

00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:34.399
 in fact,

00:09:34.500 --> 00:09:35.000
 dead

00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:36.379
 on the death,

00:09:36.539 --> 00:09:37.080
 on the cross

00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:37.720
 before they took

00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:38.639
 his body down.

00:09:38.639 --> 00:09:39.919
 And the steps

00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:41.000
 that were also taken

00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:42.419
 to make sure

00:09:42.419 --> 00:09:43.399
 that no one

00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:44.100
 got in

00:09:44.100 --> 00:09:44.740
 or out

00:09:44.740 --> 00:09:45.639
 of that tomb.

00:09:47.460 --> 00:09:48.100
 Of course,

00:09:48.259 --> 00:09:49.399
 that was never

00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:49.980
 an argument

00:09:49.980 --> 00:09:50.919
 that neither Jews

00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:51.620
 or the Romans

00:09:51.620 --> 00:09:52.419
 came up with.

00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:54.519
 Neither of them

00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:55.000
 came up.

00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:56.019
 The actual people

00:09:56.019 --> 00:09:56.879
 there at the time

00:09:56.879 --> 00:09:57.600
 never came up

00:09:57.600 --> 00:09:58.500
 with that as an argument.

00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:01.980
 Some have suggested

00:10:01.980 --> 00:10:02.779
 that the disciples

00:10:02.779 --> 00:10:03.279
 of Jesus

00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:04.039
 stole the body.

00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:06.459
 if they did,

00:10:07.439 --> 00:10:08.319
 then these guys

00:10:08.319 --> 00:10:09.219
 began to risk

00:10:09.219 --> 00:10:09.939
 their lives

00:10:09.939 --> 00:10:10.360
 and, in fact,

00:10:10.419 --> 00:10:11.500
 give their lives up

00:10:11.500 --> 00:10:12.519
 for what they knew

00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:13.579
 to be nothing more

00:10:13.579 --> 00:10:14.740
 than an April Fool's joke.

00:10:16.699 --> 00:10:17.899
 The fact is,

00:10:18.319 --> 00:10:19.279
 these disciples

00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:20.240
 were utterly

00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:21.120
 dejected.

00:10:21.500 --> 00:10:22.719
 They were terrified

00:10:22.719 --> 00:10:24.819
 after the crucifixion

00:10:24.819 --> 00:10:25.279
 of Jesus.

00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:26.980
 They were scared

00:10:26.980 --> 00:10:27.480
 that they were

00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:28.159
 going to be treated

00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:29.539
 in exactly the same

00:10:29.539 --> 00:10:30.559
 way as Jesus.

00:10:31.259 --> 00:10:32.099
 They feared

00:10:32.100 --> 00:10:33.019
 for their lives.

00:10:33.540 --> 00:10:34.560
 They did not have

00:10:34.560 --> 00:10:36.060
 hope of a resurrection

00:10:36.060 --> 00:10:37.980
 and they were ready

00:10:37.980 --> 00:10:38.580
 to go back

00:10:38.580 --> 00:10:39.060
 to fishing.

00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:41.259
 They were hiding

00:10:41.259 --> 00:10:42.800
 in a secluded room

00:10:42.800 --> 00:10:44.360
 unwilling

00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:45.420
 to believe

00:10:45.420 --> 00:10:46.560
 the first reports

00:10:46.560 --> 00:10:48.540
 of Jesus' appearance

00:10:48.540 --> 00:10:49.100
 three days

00:10:49.100 --> 00:10:50.220
 after he was executed.

00:10:51.580 --> 00:10:51.920
 And yet,

00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:52.759
 that bunch

00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:54.060
 of cowards

00:10:54.060 --> 00:10:55.680
 who deserted him

00:10:55.680 --> 00:10:56.279
 with a matter

00:10:56.279 --> 00:10:57.000
 of weeks,

00:10:57.519 --> 00:10:58.340
 these same men

00:10:58.340 --> 00:10:59.259
 were overflowing

00:10:59.259 --> 00:10:59.940
 with joy

00:10:59.940 --> 00:11:00.840
 and courage

00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:02.120
 and they were

00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:02.820
 not only just

00:11:02.820 --> 00:11:03.519
 ready to die

00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:04.060
 for Jesus

00:11:04.060 --> 00:11:04.960
 but most of them

00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:05.340
 did.

00:11:06.500 --> 00:11:08.180
 This little band

00:11:08.180 --> 00:11:10.080
 of ordinary believers

00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:12.320
 changed the course

00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:13.560
 of human history.

00:11:15.100 --> 00:11:15.980
 They and those

00:11:15.980 --> 00:11:17.000
 who came to believe

00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:17.840
 through them

00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:19.660
 loved and served

00:11:19.660 --> 00:11:20.480
 their enemies

00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:22.220
 and gave their lives

00:11:22.220 --> 00:11:22.860
 to their enemies

00:11:22.860 --> 00:11:24.160
 across the entire

00:11:24.160 --> 00:11:25.220
 Roman Empire

00:11:25.220 --> 00:11:26.720
 in such a way

00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:27.820
 that the world

00:11:27.820 --> 00:11:28.540
 was changed

00:11:28.540 --> 00:11:29.720
 within three centuries.

00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:32.700
 How?

00:11:33.560 --> 00:11:34.420
 What happened?

00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:36.879
 Their own

00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:38.120
 explanation

00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:41.019
 was that they

00:11:41.019 --> 00:11:42.460
 saw Jesus

00:11:42.460 --> 00:11:43.259
 alive

00:11:43.259 --> 00:11:44.280
 after he was

00:11:44.280 --> 00:11:44.740
 dead

00:11:44.740 --> 00:11:47.480
 as Jesus

00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:48.160
 had promised.

00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:49.960
 Now there is

00:11:49.960 --> 00:11:50.600
 far more

00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:51.300
 historical

00:11:51.300 --> 00:11:52.180
 and rational

00:11:52.180 --> 00:11:53.100
 evidence

00:11:53.100 --> 00:11:54.180
 than just that

00:11:54.180 --> 00:11:54.480
 but

00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:56.620
 much more

00:11:56.620 --> 00:11:57.300
 that could be said

00:11:57.299 --> 00:11:59.679
 except to say

00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:00.279
 that doubting

00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:00.899
 the resurrection

00:12:00.899 --> 00:12:01.539
 of Jesus

00:12:01.539 --> 00:12:03.159
 is a normal

00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:04.079
 starting point

00:12:04.079 --> 00:12:05.979
 and if that's

00:12:05.979 --> 00:12:06.279
 you

00:12:06.279 --> 00:12:07.419
 just out there

00:12:07.419 --> 00:12:07.979
 on the table

00:12:07.979 --> 00:12:08.759
 out in the atrium

00:12:08.759 --> 00:12:09.799
 there is a book

00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:10.879
 here called

00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:11.859
 The Case for Easter

00:12:11.859 --> 00:12:13.099
 there is a few

00:12:13.099 --> 00:12:13.879
 copies out there

00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:14.500
 if that's you

00:12:14.500 --> 00:12:15.079
 and you are really

00:12:15.079 --> 00:12:15.779
 wrestling with this

00:12:15.779 --> 00:12:17.039
 take it as a gift

00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:17.579
 and go

00:12:17.579 --> 00:12:18.299
 read it

00:12:18.299 --> 00:12:18.719
 please

00:12:18.719 --> 00:12:19.679
 or come and speak

00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:20.179
 to one of us

00:12:20.179 --> 00:12:20.799
 we would love

00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:21.299
 to have a chat

00:12:21.299 --> 00:12:22.279
 with you about that.

00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:24.959
 Strangely however

00:12:24.959 --> 00:12:26.100
 in John 20

00:12:26.100 --> 00:12:27.879
 the first person

00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:28.439
 to doubt the

00:12:28.439 --> 00:12:28.939
 resurrection

00:12:28.939 --> 00:12:29.699
 verbally

00:12:29.699 --> 00:12:31.240
 was not a person

00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:31.879
 who was opposed

00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:32.480
 to Christianity

00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:33.899
 it's one of Jesus

00:12:33.899 --> 00:12:34.779
 closest supporters

00:12:34.779 --> 00:12:35.480
 a man named

00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:35.860
 Thomas

00:12:35.860 --> 00:12:37.579
 and Thomas

00:12:37.579 --> 00:12:38.740
 is the most famous

00:12:38.740 --> 00:12:39.699
 of all doubters

00:12:39.699 --> 00:12:40.899
 in fact we have a saying

00:12:40.899 --> 00:12:41.659
 in our culture

00:12:41.659 --> 00:12:42.419
 to this day

00:12:42.419 --> 00:12:43.699
 for the skeptic

00:12:43.699 --> 00:12:44.480
 of any news

00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:45.139
 ah you're just

00:12:45.139 --> 00:12:45.980
 a doubting Thomas

00:12:45.980 --> 00:12:49.519
 so for those of us

00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:50.259
 who are struggling

00:12:50.259 --> 00:12:50.919
 to understand

00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:51.539
 or accept the

00:12:51.539 --> 00:12:52.079
 resurrection

00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:54.080
 you've got to

00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:54.759
 ask yourself

00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:55.320
 right now

00:12:55.320 --> 00:12:56.240
 can Thomas

00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:56.940
 help me

00:12:56.940 --> 00:12:59.200
 if this is me

00:12:59.200 --> 00:12:59.420
 now

00:12:59.420 --> 00:13:00.100
 can Thomas

00:13:00.100 --> 00:13:00.900
 help me here

00:13:00.900 --> 00:13:04.639
 now we're told

00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:05.080
 that Thomas

00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:06.280
 was not there

00:13:06.280 --> 00:13:07.340
 when Jesus

00:13:07.340 --> 00:13:08.160
 first appeared

00:13:08.160 --> 00:13:08.940
 to his disciples

00:13:08.940 --> 00:13:09.980
 soon after

00:13:09.980 --> 00:13:10.740
 he rose from the dead

00:13:10.740 --> 00:13:11.280
 so have a look

00:13:11.280 --> 00:13:11.480
 there

00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:12.259
 verse 24

00:13:12.259 --> 00:13:13.340
 so the other

00:13:13.340 --> 00:13:14.580
 disciples told him

00:13:14.580 --> 00:13:15.780
 we have seen

00:13:15.780 --> 00:13:16.320
 the Lord

00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:17.560
 but he said

00:13:17.560 --> 00:13:18.080
 to them

00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:19.420
 unless I see

00:13:19.420 --> 00:13:20.460
 the nail marks

00:13:20.460 --> 00:13:21.720
 in his hands

00:13:21.720 --> 00:13:22.800
 and put my

00:13:22.800 --> 00:13:23.300
 finger

00:13:23.300 --> 00:13:23.940
 where the nails

00:13:23.940 --> 00:13:24.480
 were

00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:25.259
 and put my

00:13:25.259 --> 00:13:25.779
 hand into

00:13:25.779 --> 00:13:26.620
 his side

00:13:26.620 --> 00:13:28.440
 I will

00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:29.680
 not believe

00:13:29.680 --> 00:13:29.920
 it

00:13:29.920 --> 00:13:32.700
 in other words

00:13:32.700 --> 00:13:33.840
 I will believe

00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:35.040
 in Jesus

00:13:35.040 --> 00:13:36.399
 if he

00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:37.500
 shows himself

00:13:37.500 --> 00:13:38.000
 to me

00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:40.540
 his response

00:13:40.540 --> 00:13:41.080
 to the news

00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:41.879
 is absolute

00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:42.500
 he makes

00:13:42.500 --> 00:13:43.800
 his terms

00:13:43.800 --> 00:13:44.440
 his demands

00:13:44.440 --> 00:13:45.100
 in absolute

00:13:45.100 --> 00:13:45.680
 terms

00:13:45.680 --> 00:13:47.080
 unless I see

00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:47.860
 I place

00:13:47.860 --> 00:13:48.639
 my hands

00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:49.179
 I will

00:13:49.179 --> 00:13:49.980
 not believe

00:13:49.980 --> 00:13:52.159
 he demands

00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:52.699
 here in this

00:13:52.699 --> 00:13:53.100
 moment

00:13:53.100 --> 00:13:54.340
 exhaustive

00:13:54.340 --> 00:13:55.360
 proof

00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:56.740
 rather than

00:13:56.740 --> 00:13:58.100
 sufficient

00:13:58.100 --> 00:13:58.819
 evidence

00:13:58.819 --> 00:14:01.159
 belief in

00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:01.519
 Jesus

00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:02.199
 belief in the

00:14:02.199 --> 00:14:02.600
 resurrection

00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:03.480
 comes down

00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:04.279
 in the end

00:14:04.279 --> 00:14:05.259
 as we see

00:14:05.259 --> 00:14:05.720
 here with

00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:06.139
 Thomas

00:14:06.139 --> 00:14:07.740
 not just

00:14:07.740 --> 00:14:08.480
 to a matter

00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:09.819
 of evidence

00:14:09.819 --> 00:14:10.740
 but a battle

00:14:10.740 --> 00:14:11.600
 of the will

00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:14.220
 Thomas

00:14:14.220 --> 00:14:15.399
 rejects

00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:16.659
 the witness

00:14:16.659 --> 00:14:17.920
 of 10

00:14:17.920 --> 00:14:18.340
 of

00:14:18.340 --> 00:14:19.899
 and more

00:14:19.899 --> 00:14:20.220
 in fact

00:14:20.220 --> 00:14:20.580
 more than

00:14:20.580 --> 00:14:20.840
 10 of

00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:21.620
 his trusted

00:14:21.620 --> 00:14:22.220
 friends

00:14:22.220 --> 00:14:23.340
 and he

00:14:23.340 --> 00:14:24.080
 dictates

00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:24.800
 in absolute

00:14:24.800 --> 00:14:25.379
 terms

00:14:25.379 --> 00:14:26.060
 to God

00:14:26.060 --> 00:14:27.060
 about what's

00:14:27.060 --> 00:14:27.500
 required

00:14:27.500 --> 00:14:27.879
 for him

00:14:27.879 --> 00:14:28.399
 to believe

00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:30.620
 now we

00:14:30.620 --> 00:14:31.180
 aren't told

00:14:31.180 --> 00:14:31.980
 specifically

00:14:31.980 --> 00:14:33.940
 in John

00:14:33.940 --> 00:14:34.340
 20

00:14:34.340 --> 00:14:35.519
 why Thomas

00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:36.080
 was so

00:14:36.080 --> 00:14:36.580
 skeptical

00:14:36.580 --> 00:14:38.759
 so anything

00:14:38.759 --> 00:14:39.800
 I say

00:14:39.800 --> 00:14:41.040
 is speculation

00:14:41.040 --> 00:14:42.920
 but I'm

00:14:42.920 --> 00:14:43.180
 going to

00:14:43.180 --> 00:14:43.580
 speculate

00:14:43.580 --> 00:14:44.139
 anyway

00:14:44.139 --> 00:14:46.160
 because it

00:14:46.160 --> 00:14:46.660
 might be

00:14:46.660 --> 00:14:46.920
 helpful

00:14:46.920 --> 00:14:47.720
 for us

00:14:47.720 --> 00:14:49.440
 so let

00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:49.580
 me

00:14:49.580 --> 00:14:49.980
 speculate

00:14:49.980 --> 00:14:52.460
 maybe it

00:14:52.460 --> 00:14:53.500
 was his

00:14:53.500 --> 00:14:54.220
 personality

00:14:54.220 --> 00:14:55.440
 that's

00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:55.900
 maybe why

00:14:55.900 --> 00:14:56.379
 he's doubting

00:14:56.379 --> 00:14:56.800
 he's a

00:14:56.800 --> 00:14:57.200
 personality

00:14:57.200 --> 00:14:57.560
 thing

00:14:57.560 --> 00:14:58.480
 maybe he

00:14:58.480 --> 00:14:59.040
 was well

00:14:59.040 --> 00:14:59.379
 you know

00:14:59.379 --> 00:14:59.580
 one of

00:14:59.580 --> 00:14:59.820
 those

00:14:59.820 --> 00:15:00.340
 what the

00:15:00.340 --> 00:15:00.740
 personality

00:15:00.740 --> 00:15:01.060
 tests

00:15:01.060 --> 00:15:01.680
 call a

00:15:01.680 --> 00:15:02.100
 sensing

00:15:02.100 --> 00:15:02.720
 person

00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:03.920
 sensing

00:15:03.920 --> 00:15:04.320
 people

00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:04.580
 paying

00:15:04.580 --> 00:15:04.820
 more

00:15:04.820 --> 00:15:05.160
 attention

00:15:05.160 --> 00:15:05.360
 to

00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:05.940
 physical

00:15:05.940 --> 00:15:06.560
 reality

00:15:06.559 --> 00:15:06.879
 to

00:15:06.879 --> 00:15:07.259
 facts

00:15:07.259 --> 00:15:07.439
 to

00:15:07.439 --> 00:15:07.699
 hard

00:15:07.699 --> 00:15:08.199
 evidence

00:15:08.199 --> 00:15:08.899
 the

00:15:08.899 --> 00:15:09.239
 opposite

00:15:09.239 --> 00:15:09.799
 is the

00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:10.239
 intuitive

00:15:10.239 --> 00:15:10.859
 person

00:15:10.859 --> 00:15:11.399
 who

00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:11.779
 goes

00:15:11.779 --> 00:15:12.079
 on

00:15:12.079 --> 00:15:13.000
 perceptions

00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:13.500
 gut

00:15:13.500 --> 00:15:13.839
 feel

00:15:13.839 --> 00:15:14.619
 instincts

00:15:14.619 --> 00:15:16.559
 that

00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:16.879
 may be

00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:17.239
 a

00:15:17.239 --> 00:15:17.679
 personality

00:15:17.679 --> 00:15:18.219
 thing

00:15:18.219 --> 00:15:20.219
 another

00:15:20.219 --> 00:15:20.839
 alternative

00:15:20.839 --> 00:15:21.399
 is that

00:15:21.399 --> 00:15:21.839
 he was

00:15:21.839 --> 00:15:22.779
 skeptical

00:15:22.779 --> 00:15:24.139
 about

00:15:24.139 --> 00:15:24.559
 the

00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:25.139
 supernatural

00:15:25.139 --> 00:15:26.859
 unlikely

00:15:26.859 --> 00:15:27.479
 but

00:15:27.479 --> 00:15:27.979
 possible

00:15:27.979 --> 00:15:29.299
 you know

00:15:29.299 --> 00:15:29.759
 dead people

00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:30.219
 don't come

00:15:30.219 --> 00:15:30.539
 back to

00:15:30.539 --> 00:15:30.899
 life and

00:15:30.899 --> 00:15:31.199
 that's

00:15:31.199 --> 00:15:31.379
 it

00:15:31.379 --> 00:15:32.439
 it's a

00:15:32.439 --> 00:15:32.719
 common

00:15:32.719 --> 00:15:33.279
 western

00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:33.799
 view

00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:35.199
 in fact

00:15:35.199 --> 00:15:35.679
 it's

00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:36.179
 primarily

00:15:36.179 --> 00:15:36.739
 just a

00:15:36.739 --> 00:15:37.039
 western

00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:37.279
 view

00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:37.559
 a very

00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:37.979
 small

00:15:37.979 --> 00:15:38.579
 minority

00:15:38.579 --> 00:15:38.859
 of our

00:15:38.859 --> 00:15:39.159
 world

00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:39.359
 have

00:15:39.359 --> 00:15:39.559
 that

00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:39.959
 view

00:15:39.959 --> 00:15:42.479
 and

00:15:42.479 --> 00:15:42.979
 Thomas

00:15:42.979 --> 00:15:43.459
 wasn't

00:15:43.459 --> 00:15:43.659
 a

00:15:43.659 --> 00:15:44.039
 westerner

00:15:44.039 --> 00:15:44.459
 so it's

00:15:44.459 --> 00:15:45.000
 unlikely

00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:47.399
 what we

00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:47.919
 tend to

00:15:47.919 --> 00:15:48.359
 think when

00:15:48.359 --> 00:15:48.719
 we come

00:15:48.719 --> 00:15:49.099
 to this

00:15:49.099 --> 00:15:49.699
 text

00:15:49.699 --> 00:15:50.859
 as

00:15:50.859 --> 00:15:51.500
 westerners

00:15:51.500 --> 00:15:52.419
 we assume

00:15:52.419 --> 00:15:53.319
 that

00:15:53.319 --> 00:15:54.219
 Thomas's

00:15:54.219 --> 00:15:55.500
 doubting

00:15:55.500 --> 00:15:56.099
 here is

00:15:56.099 --> 00:15:56.299
 an

00:15:56.299 --> 00:15:56.959
 intellectual

00:15:56.959 --> 00:15:57.479
 one

00:15:57.480 --> 00:16:00.920
 but

00:16:00.920 --> 00:16:01.659
 skepticism

00:16:01.659 --> 00:16:01.920
 is

00:16:01.920 --> 00:16:02.100
 not

00:16:02.100 --> 00:16:02.600
 simply

00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:03.340
 intellectual

00:16:03.340 --> 00:16:07.100
 so let

00:16:07.100 --> 00:16:07.220
 me

00:16:07.220 --> 00:16:07.639
 speculate

00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:10.139
 imagine

00:16:10.139 --> 00:16:11.300
 for

00:16:11.300 --> 00:16:11.840
 instance

00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:12.820
 that

00:16:12.820 --> 00:16:13.200
 someone

00:16:13.200 --> 00:16:13.519
 very

00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:13.960
 close

00:16:13.960 --> 00:16:14.120
 to

00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:14.240
 you

00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:14.420
 is

00:16:14.420 --> 00:16:14.879
 dying

00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:16.279
 in fact

00:16:16.279 --> 00:16:16.639
 some

00:16:16.639 --> 00:16:16.800
 of you

00:16:16.800 --> 00:16:16.980
 may

00:16:16.980 --> 00:16:17.139
 not

00:16:17.139 --> 00:16:17.460
 even

00:16:17.460 --> 00:16:18.120
 need

00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:18.300
 to

00:16:18.300 --> 00:16:18.720
 imagine

00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:19.539
 much

00:16:19.539 --> 00:16:21.860
 and you

00:16:21.860 --> 00:16:22.240
 finally

00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:22.819
 accepted

00:16:22.819 --> 00:16:23.179
 that

00:16:23.179 --> 00:16:23.579
 all

00:16:23.579 --> 00:16:24.059
 hope

00:16:24.059 --> 00:16:24.319

00:16:24.319 --> 00:16:25.099
 recovery

00:16:25.099 --> 00:16:26.000
 is

00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:26.480
 lost

00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:27.539
 and

00:16:27.539 --> 00:16:27.759
 your

00:18:19.580 --> 00:18:19.780
 in

00:18:19.780 --> 00:18:19.940
 this

00:18:19.940 --> 00:18:20.240
 moment

00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:20.380
 in

00:18:20.380 --> 00:18:20.440
 the

00:18:20.440 --> 00:18:20.600
 upper

00:18:20.600 --> 00:18:20.840
 room

00:18:20.840 --> 00:18:20.980
 is

00:18:20.980 --> 00:18:21.320
 don't

00:18:21.320 --> 00:18:21.540
 you

00:18:21.540 --> 00:18:22.040
 dare

00:18:22.040 --> 00:18:22.300
 get

00:18:22.300 --> 00:18:22.520
 my

00:18:22.520 --> 00:18:22.780
 hopes

00:18:22.780 --> 00:18:23.040
 up

00:18:23.040 --> 00:18:24.320
 don't

00:18:24.320 --> 00:18:24.560
 you

00:18:24.560 --> 00:18:25.080
 dare

00:18:25.080 --> 00:18:25.340
 get

00:18:25.340 --> 00:18:25.540
 my

00:18:25.540 --> 00:18:25.820
 hopes

00:18:25.820 --> 00:18:26.080
 up

00:18:26.080 --> 00:18:27.540
 I'm

00:18:27.540 --> 00:18:27.700
 just

00:18:27.700 --> 00:18:27.980
 coming

00:18:27.980 --> 00:18:28.200
 to

00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:28.480
 terms

00:18:28.480 --> 00:18:28.620
 with

00:18:28.620 --> 00:18:28.759
 the

00:18:28.759 --> 00:18:29.000
 fact

00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:29.259
 he's

00:18:29.259 --> 00:18:29.640
 dead

00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:32.700
 maybe

00:18:32.700 --> 00:18:32.940
 he

00:18:32.940 --> 00:18:33.120
 was

00:18:33.120 --> 00:18:33.580
 afraid

00:18:33.580 --> 00:18:34.480
 to

00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:34.900
 hope

00:18:34.900 --> 00:18:36.520
 in

00:18:36.520 --> 00:18:36.680
 the

00:18:36.680 --> 00:18:36.980
 same

00:18:36.980 --> 00:18:37.259
 way

00:18:37.259 --> 00:18:37.460
 that

00:18:37.460 --> 00:18:37.680
 many

00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:37.840
 in

00:18:37.840 --> 00:18:38.000
 our

00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:38.360
 world

00:18:38.360 --> 00:18:38.640
 are

00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:38.960
 afraid

00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:39.140
 to

00:18:39.140 --> 00:18:39.420
 hope

00:18:39.420 --> 00:18:41.360
 it

00:18:41.360 --> 00:18:41.620
 may

00:18:41.620 --> 00:18:42.019
 be

00:18:42.019 --> 00:18:42.460
 our

00:18:42.460 --> 00:18:43.080
 narrow

00:18:43.080 --> 00:18:44.100
 secular

00:18:44.100 --> 00:18:44.660
 western

00:18:44.660 --> 00:18:45.259
 worldview

00:18:45.259 --> 00:18:46.759
 that

00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:47.340
 says

00:18:47.340 --> 00:18:47.680
 it

00:18:47.680 --> 00:18:48.080
 cannot

00:18:48.080 --> 00:18:48.640
 happen

00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:49.779
 I

00:18:49.779 --> 00:18:50.019
 have

00:18:50.019 --> 00:18:50.220
 no

00:18:50.220 --> 00:18:50.560
 hope

00:18:50.560 --> 00:18:52.120
 it

00:18:52.120 --> 00:18:52.320
 might

00:18:52.320 --> 00:18:52.440
 be

00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:52.580
 a

00:18:52.580 --> 00:18:53.100
 personality

00:18:53.100 --> 00:18:53.480
 thing

00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:53.700
 that

00:18:53.700 --> 00:18:53.920
 says

00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:54.060
 I

00:18:54.060 --> 00:18:54.220
 need

00:18:54.220 --> 00:18:54.440
 more

00:18:54.440 --> 00:18:55.000
 evidence

00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:55.880
 it

00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:56.120
 may

00:18:56.120 --> 00:18:56.259
 be

00:18:56.259 --> 00:18:56.440
 a

00:18:56.440 --> 00:18:56.800
 heart

00:18:56.800 --> 00:18:57.000
 that

00:18:57.000 --> 00:18:57.120
 is

00:18:57.120 --> 00:18:57.560
 afraid

00:18:57.560 --> 00:18:57.800
 to

00:18:57.800 --> 00:18:57.940
 be

00:18:57.940 --> 00:18:58.220
 drawn

00:18:58.220 --> 00:18:58.420
 into

00:18:58.420 --> 00:18:58.820
 something

00:18:58.820 --> 00:18:59.920
 only

00:18:59.920 --> 00:19:00.120
 to

00:19:00.120 --> 00:19:00.279
 be

00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:00.880
 disappointed

00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:02.940
 in

00:19:02.940 --> 00:19:03.120
 the

00:19:03.120 --> 00:19:03.400
 end

00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:03.980
 Thomas

00:19:03.980 --> 00:19:04.580
 believed

00:19:04.580 --> 00:19:04.860
 with

00:19:04.860 --> 00:19:05.240
 joy

00:19:05.240 --> 00:19:06.340
 he's

00:19:06.340 --> 00:19:06.480
 the

00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:06.820
 greatest

00:19:06.820 --> 00:19:07.279
 doubter

00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:07.460
 and

00:19:07.460 --> 00:19:07.620
 yet

00:19:07.620 --> 00:19:07.779
 his

00:19:07.779 --> 00:19:08.240
 confession

00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:08.480
 of

00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:08.759
 faith

00:19:08.759 --> 00:19:09.400
 becomes

00:19:09.400 --> 00:19:10.120
 the

00:19:10.120 --> 00:19:10.600
 greatest

00:19:10.600 --> 00:19:11.460
 look

00:19:11.460 --> 00:19:11.600
 at

00:19:11.600 --> 00:19:11.759
 verse

00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:12.360
 26

00:19:12.360 --> 00:19:12.560
 a

00:19:12.560 --> 00:19:12.759
 week

00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:13.060
 later

00:19:13.060 --> 00:19:13.259
 his

00:19:13.259 --> 00:19:13.700
 disciples

00:19:13.700 --> 00:19:13.900
 were

00:19:13.900 --> 00:19:13.980
 in

00:19:13.980 --> 00:19:14.100
 the

00:19:14.100 --> 00:19:14.380
 house

00:19:14.380 --> 00:19:14.740
 again

00:19:14.740 --> 00:19:15.519
 and

00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:15.800
 Thomas

00:19:15.800 --> 00:19:16.080
 was

00:19:16.080 --> 00:19:16.360
 with

00:19:16.360 --> 00:19:16.680
 them

00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:17.080
 and

00:19:17.080 --> 00:19:17.300
 though

00:19:17.300 --> 00:19:18.060
 the

00:19:18.060 --> 00:19:18.280
 doors

00:19:18.280 --> 00:19:18.440
 were

00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:18.740
 locked

00:19:18.740 --> 00:19:19.060
 Jesus

00:19:19.060 --> 00:19:19.519
 came

00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:19.680
 and

00:19:19.680 --> 00:19:19.860
 stood

00:19:19.860 --> 00:19:20.240
 among

00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:20.580
 them

00:19:20.580 --> 00:19:21.180
 and

00:19:21.180 --> 00:19:21.460
 said

00:19:21.460 --> 00:19:21.820
 peace

00:19:21.820 --> 00:19:22.000
 be

00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:22.240
 with

00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:22.380
 you

00:19:22.380 --> 00:19:22.500
 and

00:19:22.500 --> 00:19:22.620
 he

00:19:22.620 --> 00:19:22.840
 said

00:19:22.840 --> 00:19:23.000
 to

00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:23.280
 Thomas

00:19:23.280 --> 00:19:23.580
 put

00:19:23.580 --> 00:19:23.800
 your

00:19:23.800 --> 00:19:24.140
 finger

00:19:24.140 --> 00:19:24.660
 here

00:19:24.660 --> 00:19:25.380
 see

00:19:25.380 --> 00:19:25.620
 my

00:19:25.620 --> 00:19:26.000
 hands

00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:26.320
 reach

00:19:26.320 --> 00:19:26.580
 out

00:19:26.580 --> 00:19:26.759
 your

00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:27.100
 hand

00:19:27.100 --> 00:19:27.460
 and

00:19:27.460 --> 00:19:27.640
 put

00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:27.759
 it

00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:27.800
 into

00:19:27.800 --> 00:19:28.019
 my

00:19:28.019 --> 00:19:28.500
 side

00:19:28.500 --> 00:19:28.880
 stop

00:19:28.880 --> 00:19:29.240
 doubting

00:19:29.240 --> 00:19:29.400
 and

00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:29.940
 believe

00:19:29.940 --> 00:19:30.580
 and

00:19:30.580 --> 00:19:30.759
 then

00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:31.019
 Thomas

00:19:31.019 --> 00:19:31.320
 said

00:19:31.320 --> 00:19:31.460
 to

00:19:31.460 --> 00:19:31.720
 him

00:19:31.720 --> 00:19:32.140
 my

00:19:32.140 --> 00:19:32.620
 Lord

00:19:32.619 --> 00:19:33.379
 my

00:19:33.379 --> 00:19:33.959
 God

00:19:33.959 --> 00:19:35.719
 it's

00:19:35.719 --> 00:19:35.799
 a

00:19:35.799 --> 00:19:36.259
 remarkable

00:19:36.259 --> 00:19:36.859
 statement

00:19:36.859 --> 00:19:37.819
 Thomas

00:19:37.819 --> 00:19:38.579
 is a

00:19:38.579 --> 00:19:38.859
 Jewish

00:19:38.859 --> 00:19:39.379
 man

00:19:39.379 --> 00:19:39.799
 and

00:19:39.799 --> 00:19:39.959
 to

00:19:39.959 --> 00:19:40.239
 call

00:19:40.239 --> 00:19:40.959
 another

00:19:40.959 --> 00:19:41.619
 human

00:19:41.619 --> 00:19:42.079
 being

00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:42.319
 just

00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:42.539
 a

00:19:42.539 --> 00:19:42.759
 mere

00:19:42.759 --> 00:19:43.099
 human

00:19:43.099 --> 00:19:43.639
 being

00:19:43.639 --> 00:19:44.859
 not

00:19:44.859 --> 00:19:45.179
 just

00:19:45.179 --> 00:19:45.399
 your

00:19:45.399 --> 00:19:45.819
 Lord

00:19:45.819 --> 00:19:46.039
 but

00:19:46.039 --> 00:19:46.239
 your

00:19:46.239 --> 00:19:46.639
 God

00:19:46.639 --> 00:19:46.979
 is

00:19:46.979 --> 00:19:48.399
 incomprehensible

00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:51.320
 unless

00:19:51.320 --> 00:19:51.800
 Thomas

00:19:51.800 --> 00:19:52.240
 has seen

00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:52.759
 something

00:19:52.759 --> 00:19:53.940
 absolutely

00:19:53.940 --> 00:19:54.860
 life

00:19:54.860 --> 00:19:55.300
 changing

00:19:55.300 --> 00:19:58.820
 there

00:19:58.820 --> 00:19:59.180
 is no

00:19:59.180 --> 00:19:59.500
 higher

00:19:59.500 --> 00:20:00.000
 confession

00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:00.560
 of faith

00:20:00.560 --> 00:20:00.880
 in

00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:01.160
 Jesus

00:20:01.160 --> 00:20:01.600
 Christ

00:20:01.600 --> 00:20:01.800
 in

00:20:01.800 --> 00:20:02.040
 all

00:20:02.040 --> 00:20:02.180
 of

00:20:02.180 --> 00:20:02.320
 the

00:20:02.320 --> 00:20:02.640
 scriptures

00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:03.960
 in

00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:04.160
 my

00:20:04.160 --> 00:20:04.440
 view

00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:07.000
 so

00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:07.140
 that

00:20:07.140 --> 00:20:07.360
 brings

00:20:07.360 --> 00:20:07.460
 me

00:20:07.460 --> 00:20:07.580
 to

00:20:07.580 --> 00:20:07.680
 the

00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:07.840
 who

00:20:07.840 --> 00:20:08.140
 cares

00:20:08.140 --> 00:20:08.660
 question

00:20:08.660 --> 00:20:11.240
 for

00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:11.540
 some

00:20:11.540 --> 00:20:12.100
 some

00:20:12.100 --> 00:20:12.400
 doubt

00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:12.660
 is

00:20:12.660 --> 00:20:13.040
 not a

00:20:13.040 --> 00:20:13.220
 matter

00:20:13.220 --> 00:20:13.400
 of

00:20:13.400 --> 00:20:13.759
 having

00:20:13.759 --> 00:20:14.220
 not

00:20:14.220 --> 00:20:14.460
 having

00:20:14.460 --> 00:20:14.660
 enough

00:20:14.660 --> 00:20:15.100
 sufficient

00:20:15.100 --> 00:20:15.560
 evidence

00:20:15.560 --> 00:20:15.880
 it's

00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:16.060
 more

00:20:16.060 --> 00:20:16.200
 a

00:20:16.200 --> 00:20:16.360
 matter

00:20:16.360 --> 00:20:16.560
 of

00:20:16.560 --> 00:20:16.980
 claims

00:20:16.980 --> 00:20:17.180
 that

00:20:17.180 --> 00:20:17.460
 Jesus

00:20:17.460 --> 00:20:17.840
 has

00:20:17.839 --> 00:20:18.399
 made

00:20:18.399 --> 00:20:19.419
 about

00:20:19.419 --> 00:20:19.959
 himself

00:20:19.959 --> 00:20:20.339
 his

00:20:20.339 --> 00:20:20.759
 mission

00:20:20.759 --> 00:20:21.039
 and

00:20:21.039 --> 00:20:21.379
 therefore

00:20:21.379 --> 00:20:21.639
 what

00:20:21.639 --> 00:20:21.819
 his

00:20:21.819 --> 00:20:22.139
 claims

00:20:22.139 --> 00:20:22.359
 are

00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:22.480
 on

00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:22.659
 my

00:20:22.659 --> 00:20:23.159
 life

00:20:23.159 --> 00:20:24.000
 that

00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:24.199
 is

00:20:24.199 --> 00:20:24.399
 it's

00:20:24.399 --> 00:20:24.599
 about

00:20:24.599 --> 00:20:24.819
 the

00:20:24.819 --> 00:20:25.119
 heart

00:20:25.119 --> 00:20:25.319
 and

00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:25.459
 the

00:20:25.459 --> 00:20:25.779
 will

00:20:25.779 --> 00:20:26.459
 there

00:20:26.459 --> 00:20:26.599
 is

00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:26.799
 a

00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:27.259
 comfortable

00:20:27.259 --> 00:20:27.919
 place

00:20:27.919 --> 00:20:28.240
 of

00:20:28.240 --> 00:20:28.639
 happy

00:20:28.639 --> 00:20:29.439
 ignorance

00:20:29.439 --> 00:20:30.399
 if

00:20:30.399 --> 00:20:30.579
 I

00:20:30.579 --> 00:20:31.000
 ignore

00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:31.220
 the

00:20:31.220 --> 00:20:31.819
 evidence

00:20:31.819 --> 00:20:32.299
 I

00:20:32.299 --> 00:20:32.519
 can

00:20:32.519 --> 00:20:32.839
 just

00:20:32.839 --> 00:20:33.119
 go

00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:33.399
 on

00:20:33.399 --> 00:20:33.679
 and

00:20:33.679 --> 00:20:33.939
 live

00:20:33.939 --> 00:20:34.339
 life

00:20:34.339 --> 00:20:34.759
 my

00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:35.299
 way

00:20:35.299 --> 00:20:37.819
 this

00:20:37.819 --> 00:20:38.099
 is

00:20:38.099 --> 00:20:38.759
 broadly

00:20:38.759 --> 00:20:39.059
 the

00:20:39.059 --> 00:20:39.500
 meaning

00:20:39.500 --> 00:20:39.720
 of

00:20:39.720 --> 00:20:39.839
 the

00:20:39.839 --> 00:20:40.439
 resurrection

00:20:40.439 --> 00:20:41.659
 Thomas

00:20:41.659 --> 00:20:42.079
 says

00:20:42.079 --> 00:20:42.220
 to

00:20:42.220 --> 00:20:42.459
 him

00:20:42.459 --> 00:20:42.699
 my

00:20:42.699 --> 00:20:43.359
 Lord

00:20:43.359 --> 00:20:44.220
 and

00:20:44.220 --> 00:20:44.759
 my

00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:45.699
 God

00:20:45.699 --> 00:20:46.879
 notice

00:20:46.879 --> 00:20:47.359
 this

00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:48.119
 notice

00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:48.479
 what's

00:20:48.479 --> 00:20:48.819
 changed

00:20:48.819 --> 00:20:49.019
 with

00:20:49.019 --> 00:20:49.479
 Thomas

00:20:49.479 --> 00:20:50.399
 his

00:20:50.399 --> 00:20:51.139
 first

00:20:51.139 --> 00:20:51.779
 words

00:20:51.779 --> 00:20:52.679
 were not

00:20:52.679 --> 00:20:53.379
 okay

00:20:53.379 --> 00:20:53.959
 Jesus

00:20:53.959 --> 00:20:55.079
 Jesus

00:20:55.079 --> 00:20:55.459
 said to

00:20:55.459 --> 00:20:55.539
 him

00:20:55.539 --> 00:20:55.819
 put your

00:20:55.819 --> 00:20:56.019
 hand

00:20:56.019 --> 00:20:56.359
 here

00:20:56.359 --> 00:20:57.939
 put your

00:20:57.939 --> 00:20:58.699
 fist in

00:20:58.699 --> 00:20:59.199
 the side

00:20:59.199 --> 00:21:00.819
 and

00:21:00.819 --> 00:21:01.639
 he doesn't

00:21:01.639 --> 00:21:02.959
 go

00:21:02.959 --> 00:21:04.199
 oh

00:21:04.199 --> 00:21:05.339
 the

00:21:05.339 --> 00:21:05.939
 evidence

00:21:05.939 --> 00:21:07.240
 his

00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:07.839
 immediate

00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:08.659
 response

00:21:08.659 --> 00:21:09.059
 is

00:21:09.059 --> 00:21:09.299
 my

00:21:09.299 --> 00:21:09.719
 Lord

00:21:09.719 --> 00:21:09.939
 and

00:21:09.939 --> 00:21:10.139
 my

00:21:10.139 --> 00:21:10.500
 God

00:21:10.500 --> 00:21:10.859
 the

00:21:10.859 --> 00:21:11.139
 whole

00:21:11.139 --> 00:21:11.639
 issue

00:21:11.639 --> 00:21:11.819
 that

00:21:11.819 --> 00:21:12.059
 Thomas

00:21:12.059 --> 00:21:12.359
 had

00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:12.539
 was

00:21:12.539 --> 00:21:12.819
 I

00:21:12.819 --> 00:21:13.039
 want

00:21:13.039 --> 00:21:13.180
 to

00:21:13.180 --> 00:21:13.799
 see

00:21:13.799 --> 00:21:14.619
 Jesus

00:21:14.619 --> 00:21:14.899
 for

00:21:14.899 --> 00:21:15.579
 myself

00:21:15.579 --> 00:21:16.339
 and

00:21:16.339 --> 00:21:16.519
 I

00:21:16.519 --> 00:21:17.000
 will

00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:17.539
 not

00:21:17.539 --> 00:21:18.059
 ever

00:21:18.059 --> 00:21:18.819
 believe

00:21:18.819 --> 00:21:19.399
 until

00:21:19.399 --> 00:21:19.599
 I

00:21:19.599 --> 00:21:20.180
 touch

00:21:20.180 --> 00:21:20.799
 those

00:21:20.799 --> 00:21:21.399
 wounds

00:21:21.399 --> 00:21:23.740
 Jesus

00:21:23.740 --> 00:21:24.159
 shows

00:21:24.159 --> 00:21:24.500
 up

00:21:24.500 --> 00:21:25.319
 and

00:21:25.319 --> 00:21:25.639
 Thomas

00:21:25.639 --> 00:21:26.039
 doesn't

00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:26.359
 even

00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:26.839
 touch

00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:27.180
 him

00:21:27.180 --> 00:21:31.200
 the

00:21:31.200 --> 00:21:31.680
 wounds

00:21:31.680 --> 00:21:32.119
 on

00:21:32.119 --> 00:21:32.500
 Jesus

00:21:32.500 --> 00:21:32.779
 were

00:21:32.779 --> 00:21:32.940
 not

00:21:32.940 --> 00:21:33.159
 so

00:21:33.159 --> 00:21:33.519
 much

00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:35.639
 more

00:21:35.639 --> 00:21:35.819
 than

00:21:35.819 --> 00:21:36.039
 the

00:21:36.039 --> 00:21:36.440
 evidence

00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:37.659
 were

00:21:37.659 --> 00:21:38.039
 evidence

00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:38.200
 of

00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:38.480
 something

00:21:38.480 --> 00:21:38.980
 so

00:21:38.980 --> 00:21:39.279
 much

00:21:39.279 --> 00:21:39.480
 more

00:21:39.480 --> 00:21:39.859
 powerful

00:21:39.859 --> 00:21:40.099
 for

00:21:40.099 --> 00:21:40.440
 Thomas

00:21:40.440 --> 00:21:42.080

 way

00:22:46.660 --> 00:22:47.220
 for

 humanity

00:22:47.860 --> 00:22:48.400
 to be

00:28:49.559 --> 00:28:50.120
 reliable

00:28:50.120 --> 00:28:50.640
 authors

00:28:50.640 --> 00:28:51.839
 and so

00:28:51.839 --> 00:28:52.220
 why

00:28:52.220 --> 00:28:52.720
 is it

00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:53.100
 that we

00:28:53.100 --> 00:28:53.400
 don't

00:28:53.400 --> 00:28:53.640
 do it

00:28:53.640 --> 00:28:53.779
 with

00:28:53.779 --> 00:28:54.100
 Jesus

00:28:54.100 --> 00:28:57.220
 why

00:28:57.220 --> 00:28:58.259
 because

00:28:58.259 --> 00:28:58.680
 it's not

00:28:58.680 --> 00:28:58.940
 about

00:28:58.940 --> 00:28:59.400
 historical

00:28:59.400 --> 00:28:59.860
 evidence

00:28:59.860 --> 00:29:00.299
 it's about

00:29:00.299 --> 00:29:00.600
 a battle

00:29:00.600 --> 00:29:00.819
 of the

00:29:00.819 --> 00:29:00.960
 will

00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:01.240
 and who's

00:29:01.240 --> 00:29:01.339
 in

00:29:01.339 --> 00:29:01.620
 control

00:29:01.620 --> 00:29:01.740
 of

00:29:01.740 --> 00:29:01.880
 my

00:29:01.880 --> 00:29:02.259
 life

00:29:02.259 --> 00:29:05.980
 we

00:29:05.980 --> 00:29:06.220
 don't

00:29:06.220 --> 00:29:06.380
 need

00:29:06.380 --> 00:29:06.680
 to know

00:29:06.680 --> 00:29:07.019
 anything

00:29:07.019 --> 00:29:07.480
 more

00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:08.120
 than

00:29:08.120 --> 00:29:08.380
 what

00:29:08.380 --> 00:29:08.579
 is

00:29:08.579 --> 00:29:08.799
 written

00:29:08.799 --> 00:29:08.980
 in

00:29:08.980 --> 00:29:09.259
 John's

00:29:09.259 --> 00:29:09.579
 gospel

00:29:09.579 --> 00:29:09.920
 or

00:29:09.920 --> 00:29:10.180
 any

00:29:10.180 --> 00:29:10.299
 of

00:29:10.299 --> 00:29:10.359
 the

00:29:10.359 --> 00:29:10.519
 other

00:29:10.519 --> 00:29:11.180
 biographies

00:29:11.180 --> 00:29:11.440
 of

00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:11.700
 Jesus

00:29:11.700 --> 00:29:11.940
 to

00:29:11.940 --> 00:29:12.259
 see

00:29:12.259 --> 00:29:12.519
 and

00:29:12.519 --> 00:29:12.920
 believe

00:29:12.920 --> 00:29:13.339
 and so

00:29:13.339 --> 00:29:13.740
 give

00:29:13.740 --> 00:29:14.019
 it

00:29:14.019 --> 00:29:14.180
 a

00:29:14.180 --> 00:29:14.599
 read

00:29:14.599 --> 00:29:15.599
 get

00:29:15.599 --> 00:29:18.160
 yourself

00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:18.640
 immersed

00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:19.099
 in it

00:29:19.099 --> 00:29:19.940
 and

00:29:19.940 --> 00:29:20.640
 see

00:29:20.640 --> 00:29:21.700
 read

00:29:21.700 --> 00:29:21.859
 them

00:29:21.859 --> 00:29:22.019
 as

00:29:22.019 --> 00:29:22.620
 eyewitness

00:29:22.620 --> 00:29:23.140
 accounts

00:29:23.140 --> 00:29:23.500
 and

00:29:23.500 --> 00:29:24.140
 think

00:29:24.140 --> 00:29:27.440
 the

00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:27.700
 second

00:29:27.700 --> 00:29:28.120
 thing

00:29:28.120 --> 00:29:29.440
 that we

00:29:29.440 --> 00:29:29.740
 need to

00:29:29.740 --> 00:29:29.940
 do

00:29:29.940 --> 00:29:30.160
 to

00:29:30.160 --> 00:29:30.520
 move

00:29:30.520 --> 00:29:30.820
 from

00:29:30.820 --> 00:29:31.320
 doubt

00:29:31.320 --> 00:29:31.800
 into

00:29:31.800 --> 00:29:32.380
 a

00:29:32.380 --> 00:29:32.780
 place

00:29:32.780 --> 00:29:32.960
 of

00:29:32.960 --> 00:29:33.300
 certain

00:29:33.300 --> 00:29:33.800
 hope

00:29:33.800 --> 00:29:34.620
 is

00:29:34.620 --> 00:29:34.840
 to

00:29:34.840 --> 00:29:35.280
 drop

00:29:35.280 --> 00:29:35.600
 our

00:29:35.600 --> 00:29:36.240
 conditions

00:29:36.240 --> 00:29:37.840
 every

00:29:37.840 --> 00:29:38.400
 single

00:29:38.400 --> 00:29:38.640
 one

00:29:38.640 --> 00:29:38.800
 of

00:29:38.800 --> 00:29:39.080
 us

00:29:39.080 --> 00:29:39.940
 moves

00:29:39.940 --> 00:29:40.500
 towards

00:29:40.500 --> 00:29:40.920
 Jesus

00:29:40.920 --> 00:29:41.180
 with

00:29:41.180 --> 00:29:41.340
 a

00:29:41.340 --> 00:29:41.520
 set

00:29:41.520 --> 00:29:41.640
 of

00:29:41.640 --> 00:29:42.100
 conditions

00:29:42.100 --> 00:29:43.759
 no

00:29:43.759 --> 00:29:44.259
 one

00:29:44.259 --> 00:29:44.680
 ever

00:29:44.680 --> 00:29:45.020
 goes

00:29:45.020 --> 00:29:45.220
 to

00:29:45.220 --> 00:29:45.580
 Jesus

00:29:45.580 --> 00:29:45.940
 just

00:29:45.940 --> 00:29:46.300
 because

00:29:46.300 --> 00:29:46.500
 he

00:29:46.500 --> 00:29:46.660
 is

00:29:46.660 --> 00:29:47.040
 awesome

00:29:47.040 --> 00:29:47.280
 and

00:29:47.280 --> 00:29:47.480
 he's

00:29:47.480 --> 00:29:47.860
 great

00:29:47.860 --> 00:29:48.060
 and

00:29:48.060 --> 00:29:48.200
 he's

00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:48.340
 the

00:29:48.340 --> 00:29:48.560
 saver

00:29:48.560 --> 00:29:48.720
 of

00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:49.140
 humanity

00:29:49.140 --> 00:29:49.780
 just

00:29:49.780 --> 00:29:50.100
 purely

00:29:50.100 --> 00:29:50.259
 on

00:29:50.259 --> 00:29:50.480
 those

00:29:50.480 --> 00:29:50.900
 terms

00:29:50.900 --> 00:29:52.600
 no

00:29:52.600 --> 00:29:52.800
 one

00:29:52.800 --> 00:29:53.040
 goes

00:29:53.040 --> 00:29:53.259
 to him

00:29:53.259 --> 00:29:53.540
 purely

00:29:53.539 --> 00:29:53.720
 on

00:29:53.720 --> 00:29:53.980
 his

00:29:53.980 --> 00:29:54.299
 sake

00:29:54.299 --> 00:29:55.319
 we

00:29:55.319 --> 00:29:55.799
 always

00:29:55.799 --> 00:29:56.099
 move

00:29:56.099 --> 00:29:56.539
 towards

00:29:56.539 --> 00:29:56.720
 him

00:29:56.720 --> 00:29:57.019
 because

00:29:57.019 --> 00:29:57.240
 we

00:29:57.240 --> 00:29:57.480
 want

00:29:57.480 --> 00:29:58.220
 something

00:29:58.220 --> 00:29:58.720
 which

00:29:58.720 --> 00:29:58.980
 means

00:29:58.980 --> 00:29:59.139
 we

00:29:59.139 --> 00:29:59.279
 have

00:29:59.279 --> 00:29:59.740
 conditions

00:29:59.740 --> 00:30:00.480
 I've

00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:00.659
 known

00:30:00.659 --> 00:30:01.000
 people

00:30:01.000 --> 00:30:01.200
 who

00:30:01.200 --> 00:30:01.379
 have

00:30:01.379 --> 00:30:02.079
 refused

00:30:02.079 --> 00:30:02.319
 to

00:30:02.319 --> 00:30:02.519
 make

00:30:02.519 --> 00:30:02.879
 any

00:30:02.879 --> 00:30:03.259
 move

00:30:03.259 --> 00:30:03.619
 towards

00:30:03.619 --> 00:30:04.079
 Jesus

00:30:04.079 --> 00:30:04.779
 because

00:30:04.779 --> 00:30:04.980
 it

00:30:04.980 --> 00:30:05.139
 would

00:30:05.139 --> 00:30:05.559
 mean

00:30:05.559 --> 00:30:05.920
 that

00:30:05.920 --> 00:30:06.059
 they

00:30:06.059 --> 00:30:06.220
 would

00:30:06.220 --> 00:30:06.440
 need

00:30:06.440 --> 00:30:06.599
 to

00:30:06.599 --> 00:30:06.940
 repair

00:30:06.940 --> 00:30:07.139
 a

00:30:07.139 --> 00:30:07.639
 relationship

00:30:07.639 --> 00:30:08.000
 that's

00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:08.180
 gone

00:30:08.180 --> 00:30:08.460
 wrong

00:30:08.460 --> 00:30:08.680
 and

00:30:08.680 --> 00:30:08.799
 they

00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:09.099
 don't

00:30:09.099 --> 00:30:09.240
 want

00:30:09.240 --> 00:30:09.319
 to

00:30:09.319 --> 00:30:09.619
 repair

00:30:09.619 --> 00:30:09.839
 it

00:30:09.839 --> 00:30:10.379
 it

00:30:10.379 --> 00:30:10.480
 would

00:30:10.480 --> 00:30:10.659
 mean

00:30:10.659 --> 00:30:10.779
 they

00:30:10.779 --> 00:30:10.920
 have

00:30:10.920 --> 00:30:11.019
 to

00:30:11.019 --> 00:30:11.279
 change

00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:11.440
 a

00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:11.740
 habit

00:30:11.740 --> 00:30:11.899
 and

00:30:11.899 --> 00:30:12.039
 they

00:30:12.039 --> 00:30:12.299
 don't

00:30:12.299 --> 00:30:12.420
 want

00:30:12.420 --> 00:30:12.519
 to

00:30:12.519 --> 00:30:12.720
 change

00:30:12.720 --> 00:30:12.859
 that

00:30:12.859 --> 00:30:13.079
 habit

00:30:13.079 --> 00:30:13.399
 it

00:30:13.399 --> 00:30:13.599
 means

00:30:13.599 --> 00:30:13.899
 to

00:30:13.899 --> 00:30:14.680
 confess

00:30:14.680 --> 00:30:15.259
 sin

00:30:15.259 --> 00:30:15.500
 and

00:30:15.500 --> 00:30:15.640
 they

00:30:15.640 --> 00:30:16.000
 love

00:30:16.000 --> 00:30:16.220
 it

00:30:16.220 --> 00:30:18.560
 and

00:30:18.560 --> 00:30:18.740
 that's

00:30:18.740 --> 00:30:18.900
 all

00:30:18.900 --> 00:30:19.019
 of

00:30:19.019 --> 00:30:19.360
 us

00:30:19.360 --> 00:30:21.980
 we

00:30:21.980 --> 00:30:22.180
 all

00:30:22.180 --> 00:30:22.400
 come

00:30:22.400 --> 00:30:22.539
 with

00:30:22.539 --> 00:30:22.900
 yeah

00:30:22.900 --> 00:30:23.279
 Jesus

00:30:23.279 --> 00:30:23.500
 I

00:30:23.500 --> 00:30:23.660
 know

00:30:23.660 --> 00:30:23.860
 you're

00:30:23.860 --> 00:30:24.140
 offering

00:30:24.140 --> 00:30:24.299
 me

00:30:24.299 --> 00:30:24.680
 eternal

00:30:24.680 --> 00:30:25.019
 life

00:30:25.019 --> 00:30:25.160
 it

00:30:25.160 --> 00:30:25.380
 sounds

00:30:25.380 --> 00:30:26.000
 fantastic

00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:26.539
 but

00:30:26.539 --> 00:30:26.900
 frankly

00:30:26.900 --> 00:30:27.080
 I

00:30:27.080 --> 00:30:27.320
 don't

00:30:27.320 --> 00:30:27.500
 want

00:30:27.500 --> 00:30:27.620
 it

00:30:27.620 --> 00:30:27.759
 to

00:30:27.759 --> 00:30:28.100
 disrupt

00:30:28.100 --> 00:30:28.279
 my

00:30:28.279 --> 00:30:28.680
 family

00:30:28.680 --> 00:30:29.220
 I

00:30:29.220 --> 00:30:29.440
 don't

00:30:29.440 --> 00:30:29.560
 want

00:30:29.560 --> 00:30:29.640
 it

00:30:29.640 --> 00:30:29.740
 to

00:30:29.740 --> 00:30:29.900
 hurt

00:30:29.900 --> 00:30:30.100
 my

00:30:30.100 --> 00:30:30.519
 career

00:30:30.519 --> 00:30:30.980
 and

00:30:30.980 --> 00:30:31.100
 I

00:30:31.100 --> 00:30:31.299
 don't
