And we're 27 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 3: going to take time to remember that starting now. 28 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 2: Welcome Blake, Howdy. So what is Good Friday exactly? It is, 29 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 2: like I said, It's a. 30 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 3: Solemn observance of Jesus's suffering, his trial, his crucifixion, his 31 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 3: sacrificial death, his atoning death on the cross for our sins. 32 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 3: We believe as Christians that today is the day that 33 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 3: Jesus took our sin upon him, though he lived a 34 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 3: perfect life and lived without sin, that he took our 35 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 3: sins upon himself and paid for those the ultimate sacrifice 36 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 3: of his life, and that culminated with the crucifixion. And 37 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 3: so we want to take some time to remember this 38 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:21,079 Speaker 3: and to remember what Charlie said about his faith in 39 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 3: Jesus Christ. Good Friday, because it is probably, besides Easter, 40 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 3: the most important day on the Christian calendar. 41 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 4: I think, so, I mean, yeah, I would go. 42 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 3: But obviously you don't get Easter without Good Friday. And 43 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 3: I was praying about this and thinking about what I 44 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 3: wanted to do and what I wanted to say, especially 45 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 3: everything that we've lived through. This is obviously our first 46 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 3: Easter season without Charlie, and I think of him still. 47 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 3: The first thing I think about in the morning is Charlie, 48 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 3: and the last thing I think about before I go 49 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 3: to bed is usually Charlie. And I think a lot 50 00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 3: of you out there probably feel the same way I do. 51 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 3: And we still live in the shadow of our great friend, 52 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 3: who is a martyr, a Christian martyr, and his example 53 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 3: is powerful and it looms large over my life. And 54 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 3: so we want to give this day to the Lord. 55 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 3: And I want to read a verse from Isaiah fifty three. 56 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 3: And when I think about what good Friday means to me, 57 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 3: this is what good Friday is. And I think, especially 58 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 3: everything that happened to Charlie. I think that he embodies 59 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 3: so much of the Christian ethic and the life well lived. 60 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 3: So Isaiah fifty three written before the time of Jesus 61 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 3: on this earth, and yet it points directly to him 62 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 3: who has believed our message, and to whom has the 63 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 3: arm of the Lord been revealed. He grew up before him, 64 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 3: He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and 65 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 3: like a root. 66 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 2: Out of dry ground. 67 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 3: He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, 68 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 3: nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. He 69 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 3: was despised and rejected by man kind, a man of 70 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 3: suffering and familiar with pain, like one from whom people 71 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 3: hide their faces. He was despised, and we held him 72 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 3: in low esteem. Surely he took up our pain and 73 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 3: bore our suffering. Yet we considered him punished by God, 74 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:21,479 Speaker 3: stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for 75 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 3: our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment 76 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 3: that brought us peace was upon him, and by his 77 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 3: wounds we are healed. 78 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 2: And that is essentially the core of the Christian message. 79 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,919 Speaker 3: On Good Friday. And we don't say good in a 80 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 3: celebratory sense. We say good in sort of the old 81 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 3: English sense, the pious holy. It is a day to 82 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 3: solemnly reflect on the sacrifices our Savior has made. 83 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 4: Yeah, I was actually had it open from mind. It 84 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 4: was slightly different wording because we use a different translation 85 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 4: of the Bible, but they do read that in Catholic 86 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 4: services on Good Friday every year basically the whole of 87 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 4: that that keeps going. You might remember, though he was 88 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 4: harshly treated, he submitted and opened not his mouth, like 89 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 4: a lamb led to the slaughter, or a sheep before 90 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 4: the shearers. He was silent and opened not his mouth. 91 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 4: Oppressed and condemned, he was taken away, And who would 92 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 4: have thought any more of his destiny when he was 93 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 4: cut off from the land of the living and smitten 94 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 4: for the sin of his people. A grave was assigned 95 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 4: him among the wicked, and a burial place with evildoers, 96 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,359 Speaker 4: though he had done no wrong nor spoken any falsehood. 97 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 4: And it continues from there, and we have other special 98 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 4: readings that we do. Usually you don't have a verse 99 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 4: that you read. You're an unusual Catholic service. It's first 100 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 4: reading Psalm, second reading Gospel. But they also incorporate a 101 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 4: special verse just before they read the Gospel, which is 102 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 4: on Good Friday. It's always the Passion according to John, 103 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 4: and they say Christ became obedient to the point of death, 104 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 4: even death on a cross. Because of this, God greatly 105 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 4: exalted on him and bestowed on him the name which 106 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 4: is above every other name. That's from Philippians. 107 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 3: Hi folks Andrew Colvett here, I'd like to tell you 108 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 3: about my friends over at y Refi.

And also, 131 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: just so everyone's clear, they say, oh, Easter is pagan. 132 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,239 Speaker 1: Hold on a second, the term Easter was a pagan 133 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: term that was redeemed. But no, Easter itself is actually 134 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 1: always aligning with the Jewish passover pesca, which is happening 135 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: this week as well. That those two things are always 136 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:47,239 Speaker 1: overlaid with one another, and the resurrection and the promise 137 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: of Jesus honestly can be best described as a fresh start, 138 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: as a reset. It's a beautiful idea and it's a 139 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: torurism that has captivated billions of people throughout time. 140 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 3: It is really an amazing part of about Easter, the 141 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 3: Easter season, how it overlays with the passover, because obviously 142 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 3: the passover comes from the Genesis story of the Jews 143 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 3: putting Exodus Exodus im sorry, the Exodus story where the 144 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 3: Jews put the blood of a lamb over their doors 145 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 3: so that the Angel of Death would pass over their house. 146 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 3: And Jesus is our passover lamb, and so it is 147 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 3: the perfect embodiment of that story. And I love how 148 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 3: scripture tends to echo, right, we see, we see different 149 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 3: themes and ideas that are once told in the Old Testament, 150 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 3: you see them reflected or embodied perfectly in the life 151 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 3: of Jesus. 152 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,319 Speaker 4: One of my favorite images of the that comes out 153 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,199 Speaker 4: of Good Friday and what it represents. 154 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 2: It's from a. 155 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 4: Church in modern day Istanbul. It's called the Kora Church. 156 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 2: Throw up that. 157 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 4: Image I sent you, guys, and it's an image of 158 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 4: what we believe Jesus was doing. 159 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 2: During the Heroine of Hell. 160 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 4: We call it, which is he dies, resurrects a few 161 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 4: days later, and what he is doing is he in 162 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 4: the he descended into Hell and what he did is 163 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 4: that is what the redemption of Christ means. What that 164 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 4: image is that is Jesus bursting open the coffins that 165 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,439 Speaker 4: hold Adam on one side and Eve on the other. 166 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 2: That's Adam and Eve. That they have. 167 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 4: Been separated from God for untold generations because of their sin, 168 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 4: and that Jesus is bursting them out and he is 169 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,679 Speaker 4: liberating them so that they can be taken up to 170 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,559 Speaker 4: Heaven with him, that he can redeem them for paradise. 171 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 4: And it's one of the most powerful images you can 172 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 4: have of what Jesus was accomplished. 173 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 3: There is another clip of Charlie with U's they got 174 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 3: to play it top three. 175 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: All right, have a great Easter weekend. Thank you Blake 176 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 1: very much. He remember he has risen. Please observe good 177 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 1: Friday and understand the significance of the suffering of our Lord. 178 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 1: And I am not Catholic, but I will be doing 179 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 1: the stations of the Cross tonight. They have an outdoor 180 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: Stations of the Cross in Arizona. Actually it's pretty really neat. 181 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 4: It kind of probably looks a little bit like Judea. 182 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, God bless everybody. Shabbat Shalom and have a 183 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: wonderful Easter. 184 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 3: That's the perfect like sort of ecumenical clip of Charlie 185 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 3: the Evangelical doing the Catholic stations of the Cross, signing 186 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:20,439 Speaker 3: off with Shabbat Shalom. 187 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:24,079 Speaker 4: He had a very special way of approaching he faith matters. 188 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 3: And Blake, you inspired me, and she said, the Catholics 189 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 3: read from John the crucifixion story from John, so I 190 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,680 Speaker 3: figured we should do that. This is from John chapter nineteen, 191 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 3: verse seventeen, and he says, and he bearing his cross, 192 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 3: went out to a place called the Place of the Skull, 193 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 3: which is called in Hebrew Golgatha where they crucified him, 194 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 3: and two others with him, one on either side, and 195 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 3: Jesus in the center. Now Pilot wrote a title and 196 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 3: put it on the cross, and the writing was Jesus 197 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,679 Speaker 3: of Nazareth, the King of the Jews. Then many of 198 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 3: the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus 199 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 3: was crucified was near the city, and it was written 200 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 3: in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin. Therefore, the chief priests of 201 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,959 Speaker 3: the Jews said to Pilot, do not write the king 202 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 3: of the Jews. But he said, I am the king 203 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 3: of the Jews. Pilot answered what I have written, I 204 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 3: have written. Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, 205 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 3: took his garments and made four parts to each soldier apart, 206 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 3: and also the tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, 207 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 3: woven from the top in one piece. They said, therefore 208 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 3: among themselves, let us not tear it, but cast lots 209 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 3: for it, of whose it shall be that the scripture 210 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 3: might be fulfilled, which says they divided my garments among them, 211 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 3: and for my clothing they cast lots. Therefore the soldiers 212 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 3: did these things, and then Jesus it's an ode to marry, 213 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 3: which I wanted to keep in here. Now there stood 214 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 3: by the cross of Jesus, his mother and his mother's sister, Marry, 215 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 3: the wife of Clopus, and Mary Magdalen. When Jesus therefore 216 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 3: saw his mother and the disciple, whom he loved, standing by, 217 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 3: he said to his mother, woman, behold your son. Then 218 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 3: he said to the disciple, behold your mother. And from 219 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 3: that hour that disciple took her into his uh in 220 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 3: his own home. After this, Jesus, knowing that all things 221 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 3: were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, said 222 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:17,599 Speaker 3: I thirst. Now a vessel full of sour wine was 223 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 3: sitting there, and they filled a sponge with sour wine, 224 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 3: put it on hissop, and put it to his mouth. 225 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 3: So when Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, 226 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 3: it is finished, and bowing his head, he gave up 227 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 3: his spirit powerful moment to reflect on on Good Friday. 228 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 3: And we think it's important to read directly from scripture 229 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 3: because God said. 230 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 2: It best listen. 231 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,959 Speaker 3: If faith and values are important to you, they should 232 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 3: be a part of how you date. It's that simple, 233 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 3: not something you figure out later when you're like three 234 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 3: four months down the road in a relationship. You see, 235 00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 3: most dating apps are built around casual connection, instant gratiation, 236 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 3: no long term vision, and that's just not what. 237 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 2: Many of you are looking for.

I do want to reflect 251 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:51,679 Speaker 3: though a little bit on what it is finished, and 252 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,560 Speaker 3: I saw this great clip that I wanted to share 253 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 3: with all of you guys on the different meanings of 254 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 3: what this means. This is from Josh Howardton sought one 255 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:00,080 Speaker 3: when Jesus. 256 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 5: On the cross, he cried out it is finished. That's 257 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 5: how it gets translated in English. But that was just 258 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 5: a translation of the Greek word to telesty. 259 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 1: There was a word that was. 260 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 5: Used in a business context on ancient receipts in the 261 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,199 Speaker 5: New Testament Bible times to indicate that literal debt had 262 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 5: been paid in full. It was also used in a 263 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 5: judicial context in a court when a sentence was fully served, 264 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 5: completely and fully, once and for all served. The word 265 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 5: to tell sty was also used in a military context, 266 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 5: meaning that a battle had been won. It was a 267 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 5: word of like triumph in victory. When Jesus hangs on 268 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 5: the cross and he cries out to tell sty it 269 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 5: is finished. He was declaring the debt of your sin 270 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 5: is fully paid, the judgment for your sin has been 271 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 5: fully served, and the spiritual war against death, sin and 272 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 5: satan has been completely won. In Christ. The work of salvation, victory, reconciliation, 273 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 5: and a new life is fully yours. 274 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 2: It is finished. Amen. 275 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 4: Also, as Jesus said that he had come to fulfill 276 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 4: the law, kind of means that as well it is fulfilled. 277 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 3: Mm hmm, yeah, absolutely. I love that the Catholics read 278 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 3: from John. 279 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 4: There's there's many interesting parts about it. One of the 280 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 4: most interesting to me is when you do readings in church, 281 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 4: all of the gospel readings are they're done by the priest, 282 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 4: exclusively by the priest. And the one exception is during 283 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 4: the passion readings where they actually will have the audience 284 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 4: take part of it, and you're taking the part of 285 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 4: the mob of the crowd which goes in the story. 286 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 2: So when they say. 287 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 4: The one that's really memorable, I can't remember if this 288 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 4: is in let me see, do they have it in 289 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 4: John or is it only. 290 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 2: In uh Okay, the memorable one? 291 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 4: When they say take him away, they cried out. He says, behold, 292 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 4: you're a king. And then they cry out, and this 293 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 4: is the audience in the service will say this, take 294 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 4: him away, take him away, crucify him. Pilot said to them, 295 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 4: shall I crucify your king? And the chief priests answered, 296 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 4: and then this is everyone says, we have no king 297 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 4: but Caesar. And that audience that says that, it very 298 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 4: much drives home our collective sin, our collective guilt. 299 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 2: And it's our sin that held him there on that cross. 300 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 4: He was crushed for our iniquity, he was punished for 301 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 4: our iniquities crushed for our sins. 302 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 2: It personalizes it in a really powerful way. Yeah. 303 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 3: I love that, and I love so much of the 304 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 3: ancient liturgy and the rituals. This is the Charlie Kirk show. 305 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 3: He loved talking about these things. Let's go ahead and 306 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 3: play more of Charlie in his own words, reflecting on 307 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 3: his faith sought. 308 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: For the modern gospel is God has this beautiful, amazing, 309 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 1: wonderful life for you, and if you give your life 310 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: to Christ, your life will infinitely improve. That is somewhat true, 311 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 1: but it's very misleading because you're basically trying to sell 312 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 1: people in Christianity of a life without difficulty. Where the 313 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 1: better way to teach the gospel is here's the ten commandments. 314 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 1: How many these are you violating? Oh, you deserve to 315 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: go to hell, and you probably will unless you give 316 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 1: your life to Christ. That is the proper way to evangelize. 317 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 1: And so I realized the stakes in fifth grade. I 318 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 1: was like, Oh, my goodness, I'm a sinner, I'm selfish, 319 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 1: I'm broken, and only thanks to Jesus's perfect sacrifice, coming 320 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: and living a perfect life that I get something I 321 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,639 Speaker 1: do not earn, but has been given to me this 322 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 1: free gift of eternal life. 323 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 3: So good, so good, good job team, We've got all 324 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 3: these tweets of Charlie's too. 325 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 2: He says. 326 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 3: This is from April eighteenth, twenty twenty five. He says, 327 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 3: today is good Friday. Thank you Jesus for your amazing 328 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,679 Speaker 3: and unthinkable sacrifice. You died so that we would have 329 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 3: life and life in abundance. And then he quotes scripture 330 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 3: from Mark fifteen. It was nine in the morning when 331 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 3: they crucified him. The written notice of the charged against 332 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 3: him read the King of the Jews. With a loud cry, 333 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,080 Speaker 3: Jesus breathed his last. The curtain of the temple was 334 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 3: torn in two from top to bottom.

From April twentieth of last year, 342 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:25,120 Speaker 4: so Charlie's last Easter with us, And he said, today 343 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 4: we celebrate the resurrection of Christ, a real event of history. 344 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 4: He has risen, and he lists ten historical facts to 345 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 4: back the resurrection of Christ. The first of them is 346 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 4: just that he was criscified under ponscious Pilot. I love 347 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 4: to mention to people, this is a name that is 348 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 4: in the Creed that most Christians will recite. He was 349 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 4: crucified under ponscious Pilot. This is a statement of historical 350 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 4: fact that this was a real person who was involved 351 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,879 Speaker 4: in it. He was buried in a known tomb. The 352 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 4: tomb was discovered empty by women. Christianity's fiercest enemies became 353 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 4: some of its loudest witnesses. And he goes on with 354 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 4: ten other things. And Charlie was very important. He was 355 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 4: such a witness to the Gospel, and he was such 356 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 4: a powerful promulgator of it in its most direct sense. 357 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 4: I just loved that where he said that where it's 358 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 4: you know, you don't give this touchy feely thing. You say, 359 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 4: you are a sinner and you require salvation for your sins, 360 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 4: or it's going to be very bad. 361 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 3: Repent for the Kingdom of God is near.
