WEBVTT - The Gospel on Good Friday

0:00:03.520 --> 0:00:06.360
<v Speaker 1>My name is Charlie kirk I run the largest pro

0:00:06.400 --> 0:00:09.960
<v Speaker 1>American student organization in the country, fighting for the future

0:00:10.080 --> 0:00:13.360
<v Speaker 1>of our republic. My call is to fight evil and

0:00:13.480 --> 0:00:16.520
<v Speaker 1>to proclaim truth. If the most important thing for you

0:00:16.960 --> 0:00:19.919
<v Speaker 1>is just feeling good, you're gonna end up miserable. But

0:00:20.000 --> 0:00:23.200
<v Speaker 1>if the most important thing is doing good, you'll end

0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:26.400
<v Speaker 1>up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You got to

0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:28.600
<v Speaker 1>stop sending your kids to college. You should get married

0:00:28.640 --> 0:00:31.160
<v Speaker 1>as young as possible and have as many kids as possible.

0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:33.280
<v Speaker 1>Go start at turning point, you would say college chapter.

0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:35.599
<v Speaker 1>Go start aturning point youould say high school chapter. Go

0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:37.839
<v Speaker 1>find out how your church can get involved. Sign up

0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:39.839
<v Speaker 1>and become an activist. I gave my life to the

0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:43.200
<v Speaker 1>Lord in fifth grade, most important decision I ever made

0:00:43.200 --> 0:00:45.080
<v Speaker 1>in my life, and I encourage you to do the same.

0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Here I am.

0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:47.120
<v Speaker 2>Lord, Use me.

0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:57.800

0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:21.679
<v Speaker 3>It is Good Friday, and it is a solemn day

0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:26.240
<v Speaker 3>of remembrance of what our savior, our Lord Jesus Christ

0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:29.800
<v Speaker 3>did for us and for all of you. And we're

0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:33.080
<v Speaker 3>going to take time to remember that starting now.

0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:39.160
<v Speaker 2>Welcome Blake, Howdy. So what is Good Friday exactly? It is,

0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:40.039
<v Speaker 2>like I said, It's a.

0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:47.000
<v Speaker 3>Solemn observance of Jesus's suffering, his trial, his crucifixion, his

0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:51.600
<v Speaker 3>sacrificial death, his atoning death on the cross for our sins.

0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:57.160
<v Speaker 3>We believe as Christians that today is the day that

0:01:57.280 --> 0:02:00.640
<v Speaker 3>Jesus took our sin upon him, though he lived a

0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:04.080
<v Speaker 3>perfect life and lived without sin, that he took our

0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:09.040
<v Speaker 3>sins upon himself and paid for those the ultimate sacrifice

0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:14.440
<v Speaker 3>of his life, and that culminated with the crucifixion. And

0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:17.040
<v Speaker 3>so we want to take some time to remember this

0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:21.079
<v Speaker 3>and to remember what Charlie said about his faith in

0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:26.320
<v Speaker 3>Jesus Christ. Good Friday, because it is probably, besides Easter,

0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:30.120
<v Speaker 3>the most important day on the Christian calendar.

0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:32.480
<v Speaker 4>I think, so, I mean, yeah, I would go.

0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:36.120
<v Speaker 3>But obviously you don't get Easter without Good Friday. And

0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:38.640
<v Speaker 3>I was praying about this and thinking about what I

0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:42.480
<v Speaker 3>wanted to do and what I wanted to say, especially

0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:45.359
<v Speaker 3>everything that we've lived through. This is obviously our first

0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:50.919
<v Speaker 3>Easter season without Charlie, and I think of him still.

0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:53.480
<v Speaker 3>The first thing I think about in the morning is Charlie,

0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:54.920
<v Speaker 3>and the last thing I think about before I go

0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:58.120
<v Speaker 3>to bed is usually Charlie. And I think a lot

0:02:58.160 --> 0:02:59.880
<v Speaker 3>of you out there probably feel the same way I do.

0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:04.280
<v Speaker 3>And we still live in the shadow of our great friend,

0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:08.560
<v Speaker 3>who is a martyr, a Christian martyr, and his example

0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:11.480
<v Speaker 3>is powerful and it looms large over my life. And

0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:14.680
<v Speaker 3>so we want to give this day to the Lord.

0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:17.920
<v Speaker 3>And I want to read a verse from Isaiah fifty three.

0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:21.520
<v Speaker 3>And when I think about what good Friday means to me,

0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:24.920
<v Speaker 3>this is what good Friday is. And I think, especially

0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:27.120
<v Speaker 3>everything that happened to Charlie. I think that he embodies

0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:31.000
<v Speaker 3>so much of the Christian ethic and the life well lived.

0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:36.320
<v Speaker 3>So Isaiah fifty three written before the time of Jesus

0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:38.800
<v Speaker 3>on this earth, and yet it points directly to him

0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:41.680
<v Speaker 3>who has believed our message, and to whom has the

0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:45.240
<v Speaker 3>arm of the Lord been revealed. He grew up before him,

0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:47.960
<v Speaker 3>He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and

0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:48.760
<v Speaker 3>like a root.

0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:49.640
<v Speaker 2>Out of dry ground.

0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:53.800
<v Speaker 3>He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,

0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:57.320
<v Speaker 3>nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. He

0:03:57.440 --> 0:04:01.280
<v Speaker 3>was despised and rejected by man kind, a man of

0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:05.880
<v Speaker 3>suffering and familiar with pain, like one from whom people

0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:09.160
<v Speaker 3>hide their faces. He was despised, and we held him

0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:13.120
<v Speaker 3>in low esteem. Surely he took up our pain and

0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:16.840
<v Speaker 3>bore our suffering. Yet we considered him punished by God,

0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:21.479
<v Speaker 3>stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for

0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:26.320
<v Speaker 3>our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment

0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:29.440
<v Speaker 3>that brought us peace was upon him, and by his

0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:31.719
<v Speaker 3>wounds we are healed.

0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:38.040
<v Speaker 2>And that is essentially the core of the Christian message.

0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:39.919
<v Speaker 3>On Good Friday. And we don't say good in a

0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:42.240
<v Speaker 3>celebratory sense. We say good in sort of the old

0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:45.760
<v Speaker 3>English sense, the pious holy. It is a day to

0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:49.920
<v Speaker 3>solemnly reflect on the sacrifices our Savior has made.

0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:52.279
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I was actually had it open from mind. It

0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:54.640
<v Speaker 4>was slightly different wording because we use a different translation

0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:56.800
<v Speaker 4>of the Bible, but they do read that in Catholic

0:04:56.880 --> 0:05:01.360
<v Speaker 4>services on Good Friday every year basically the whole of

0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:07.600
<v Speaker 4>that that keeps going. You might remember, though he was

0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:10.479
<v Speaker 4>harshly treated, he submitted and opened not his mouth, like

0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:12.760
<v Speaker 4>a lamb led to the slaughter, or a sheep before

0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:15.839
<v Speaker 4>the shearers. He was silent and opened not his mouth.

0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:18.720
<v Speaker 4>Oppressed and condemned, he was taken away, And who would

0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:21.479
<v Speaker 4>have thought any more of his destiny when he was

0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:23.600
<v Speaker 4>cut off from the land of the living and smitten

0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:26.680
<v Speaker 4>for the sin of his people. A grave was assigned

0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:29.839
<v Speaker 4>him among the wicked, and a burial place with evildoers,

0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:33.359
<v Speaker 4>though he had done no wrong nor spoken any falsehood.

0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:38.599
<v Speaker 4>And it continues from there, and we have other special

0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:41.040
<v Speaker 4>readings that we do. Usually you don't have a verse

0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:44.279
<v Speaker 4>that you read. You're an unusual Catholic service. It's first

0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:47.920
<v Speaker 4>reading Psalm, second reading Gospel. But they also incorporate a

0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:51.240
<v Speaker 4>special verse just before they read the Gospel, which is

0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:53.839
<v Speaker 4>on Good Friday. It's always the Passion according to John,

0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:57.400
<v Speaker 4>and they say Christ became obedient to the point of death,

0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:01.159
<v Speaker 4>even death on a cross. Because of this, God greatly

0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:04.280
<v Speaker 4>exalted on him and bestowed on him the name which

0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:07.600
<v Speaker 4>is above every other name. That's from Philippians.

0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:13.480
<v Speaker 3>Hi folks Andrew Colvett here, I'd like to tell you

0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:16.320
<v Speaker 3>about my friends over at y Refi. You've probably been

0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:18.640
<v Speaker 3>hearing me talk about y Refi for some time now.

0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:22.159
<v Speaker 3>We are all in with these guys. If you or

0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:24.720
<v Speaker 3>someone you know is struggling with private student loan debt,

<v Speaker 3>save you thousands of dollars and you can get your

<v Speaker 3>we see student after student who's drowning in private student

0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:52.400

<v Speaker 2>Well.

0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:13.520
<v Speaker 3>And it wouldn't be the Charlie Kirk Show without Charlie

0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:16.000
<v Speaker 3>reflecting on Easter.

0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:18.200
<v Speaker 2>The team pulled this clip not.

0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:24.160
<v Speaker 1>To I love Easter, I love the Resurrection. And also,

0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:26.720
<v Speaker 1>just so everyone's clear, they say, oh, Easter is pagan.

0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:30.239
<v Speaker 1>Hold on a second, the term Easter was a pagan

0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:34.240
<v Speaker 1>term that was redeemed. But no, Easter itself is actually

0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:39.560
<v Speaker 1>always aligning with the Jewish passover pesca, which is happening

0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:42.360
<v Speaker 1>this week as well. That those two things are always

0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:47.239
<v Speaker 1>overlaid with one another, and the resurrection and the promise

0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:50.360
<v Speaker 1>of Jesus honestly can be best described as a fresh start,

0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:53.760
<v Speaker 1>as a reset. It's a beautiful idea and it's a

0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:57.920
<v Speaker 1>torurism that has captivated billions of people throughout time.

0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:01.080
<v Speaker 3>It is really an amazing part of about Easter, the

0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:04.400
<v Speaker 3>Easter season, how it overlays with the passover, because obviously

0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:08.200
<v Speaker 3>the passover comes from the Genesis story of the Jews

0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:12.160
<v Speaker 3>putting Exodus Exodus im sorry, the Exodus story where the

0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:14.760
<v Speaker 3>Jews put the blood of a lamb over their doors

0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:17.560
<v Speaker 3>so that the Angel of Death would pass over their house.

0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:22.240
<v Speaker 3>And Jesus is our passover lamb, and so it is

0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:26.880
<v Speaker 3>the perfect embodiment of that story. And I love how

0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:32.400
<v Speaker 3>scripture tends to echo, right, we see, we see different

0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:35.640
<v Speaker 3>themes and ideas that are once told in the Old Testament,

0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:38.880
<v Speaker 3>you see them reflected or embodied perfectly in the life

0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:39.360
<v Speaker 3>of Jesus.

0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:43.319
<v Speaker 4>One of my favorite images of the that comes out

0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:45.199
<v Speaker 4>of Good Friday and what it represents.

0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:45.880
<v Speaker 2>It's from a.

0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:49.200
<v Speaker 4>Church in modern day Istanbul. It's called the Kora Church.

0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:50.000
<v Speaker 2>Throw up that.

0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:53.400
<v Speaker 4>Image I sent you, guys, and it's an image of

0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:55.840
<v Speaker 4>what we believe Jesus was doing.

0:08:57.120 --> 0:08:58.480
<v Speaker 2>During the Heroine of Hell.

0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:01.160
<v Speaker 4>We call it, which is he dies, resurrects a few

0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:03.560
<v Speaker 4>days later, and what he is doing is he in

0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:07.400
<v Speaker 4>the he descended into Hell and what he did is

0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:10.200
<v Speaker 4>that is what the redemption of Christ means. What that

0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:14.040
<v Speaker 4>image is that is Jesus bursting open the coffins that

0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:16.439
<v Speaker 4>hold Adam on one side and Eve on the other.

0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:18.880
<v Speaker 2>That's Adam and Eve. That they have.

0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:24.360
<v Speaker 4>Been separated from God for untold generations because of their sin,

0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:27.240
<v Speaker 4>and that Jesus is bursting them out and he is

0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:30.679
<v Speaker 4>liberating them so that they can be taken up to

0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:33.559
<v Speaker 4>Heaven with him, that he can redeem them for paradise.

0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:37.040
<v Speaker 4>And it's one of the most powerful images you can

0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:40.000
<v Speaker 4>have of what Jesus was accomplished.

0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:42.760
<v Speaker 3>There is another clip of Charlie with U's they got

0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:44.160
<v Speaker 3>to play it top three.

0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:46.400
<v Speaker 1>All right, have a great Easter weekend. Thank you Blake

0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:50.920
<v Speaker 1>very much. He remember he has risen. Please observe good

0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:55.800
<v Speaker 1>Friday and understand the significance of the suffering of our Lord.

0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:58.680
<v Speaker 1>And I am not Catholic, but I will be doing

0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:00.960
<v Speaker 1>the stations of the Cross tonight. They have an outdoor

0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:03.800
<v Speaker 1>Stations of the Cross in Arizona. Actually it's pretty really neat.

0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:07.160
<v Speaker 4>It kind of probably looks a little bit like Judea.

0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:11.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, exactly, God bless everybody. Shabbat Shalom and have a

0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:11.800
<v Speaker 1>wonderful Easter.

0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:15.920
<v Speaker 3>That's the perfect like sort of ecumenical clip of Charlie

0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:19.360
<v Speaker 3>the Evangelical doing the Catholic stations of the Cross, signing

0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:20.439
<v Speaker 3>off with Shabbat Shalom.

0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:24.079
<v Speaker 4>He had a very special way of approaching he faith matters.

0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:27.720
<v Speaker 3>And Blake, you inspired me, and she said, the Catholics

0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:31.000
<v Speaker 3>read from John the crucifixion story from John, so I

0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:33.680
<v Speaker 3>figured we should do that. This is from John chapter nineteen,

0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:37.160
<v Speaker 3>verse seventeen, and he says, and he bearing his cross,

0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:40.000
<v Speaker 3>went out to a place called the Place of the Skull,

0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:43.840
<v Speaker 3>which is called in Hebrew Golgatha where they crucified him,

0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:46.160
<v Speaker 3>and two others with him, one on either side, and

0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:49.600
<v Speaker 3>Jesus in the center. Now Pilot wrote a title and

0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:52.760
<v Speaker 3>put it on the cross, and the writing was Jesus

0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:55.679
<v Speaker 3>of Nazareth, the King of the Jews. Then many of

0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:58.000
<v Speaker 3>the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus

0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:00.000
<v Speaker 3>was crucified was near the city, and it was written

0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:03.800
<v Speaker 3>in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin. Therefore, the chief priests of

0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:05.959
<v Speaker 3>the Jews said to Pilot, do not write the king

0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:08.040
<v Speaker 3>of the Jews. But he said, I am the king

0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:11.280
<v Speaker 3>of the Jews. Pilot answered what I have written, I

0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:15.200
<v Speaker 3>have written. Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus,

0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:18.880
<v Speaker 3>took his garments and made four parts to each soldier apart,

0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:21.880
<v Speaker 3>and also the tunic. Now the tunic was without seam,

0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:24.720
<v Speaker 3>woven from the top in one piece. They said, therefore

0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:27.400
<v Speaker 3>among themselves, let us not tear it, but cast lots

0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:30.160
<v Speaker 3>for it, of whose it shall be that the scripture

0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:33.680
<v Speaker 3>might be fulfilled, which says they divided my garments among them,

0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:37.160
<v Speaker 3>and for my clothing they cast lots. Therefore the soldiers

0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:43.640
<v Speaker 3>did these things, and then Jesus it's an ode to marry,

0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:46.360
<v Speaker 3>which I wanted to keep in here. Now there stood

0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:49.720
<v Speaker 3>by the cross of Jesus, his mother and his mother's sister, Marry,

0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:53.000
<v Speaker 3>the wife of Clopus, and Mary Magdalen. When Jesus therefore

0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:56.160
<v Speaker 3>saw his mother and the disciple, whom he loved, standing by,

0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:59.400
<v Speaker 3>he said to his mother, woman, behold your son. Then

0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:02.360
<v Speaker 3>he said to the disciple, behold your mother. And from

0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:06.160
<v Speaker 3>that hour that disciple took her into his uh in

0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:10.520
<v Speaker 3>his own home. After this, Jesus, knowing that all things

0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:13.240
<v Speaker 3>were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, said

0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:17.599
<v Speaker 3>I thirst. Now a vessel full of sour wine was

0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:20.440
<v Speaker 3>sitting there, and they filled a sponge with sour wine,

0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:23.240
<v Speaker 3>put it on hissop, and put it to his mouth.

0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:26.640
<v Speaker 3>So when Jesus had received the sour wine, he said,

0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:32.040
<v Speaker 3>it is finished, and bowing his head, he gave up

0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:38.080
<v Speaker 3>his spirit powerful moment to reflect on on Good Friday.

0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:41.040
<v Speaker 3>And we think it's important to read directly from scripture

0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:42.400
<v Speaker 3>because God said.

0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:45.600
<v Speaker 2>It best listen.

0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:48.959
<v Speaker 3>If faith and values are important to you, they should

0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:50.800
<v Speaker 3>be a part of how you date. It's that simple,

0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:53.720
<v Speaker 3>not something you figure out later when you're like three

0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:56.440
<v Speaker 3>four months down the road in a relationship. You see,

0:12:56.480 --> 0:13:00.360
<v Speaker 3>most dating apps are built around casual connection, instant gratiation,

0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:03.440
<v Speaker 3>no long term vision, and that's just not what.

0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:05.160
<v Speaker 2>Many of you are looking for. Thank goodness.

0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:08.520
<v Speaker 3>That's why I like Upward. It's a dating app designed

0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:12.559
<v Speaker 3>around faith and shared values. People who care about commitment, integrity,

0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:15.160
<v Speaker 3>marriage and family, the things that we really value on

0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:18.400
<v Speaker 3>this show. You're starting from common ground instead of trying

0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:21.679
<v Speaker 3>to negotiate your core beliefs months into a relationship. That

0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:24.560
<v Speaker 3>kind of clarity matters if faith is central to your life,

0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:26.679
<v Speaker 3>or even if it's something that shaped how you were

0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:29.240
<v Speaker 3>raised and how you see the world. Upward connects you

0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:32.720
<v Speaker 3>with people who take that seriously. So if you're tired

0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:35.680
<v Speaker 3>of the confusion and ready to date with intention, with

0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:39.320
<v Speaker 3>marriage and family and mind, download Upward and start building

0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:43.560
<v Speaker 3>on that right foundation, because strong relationships start with shared values.

0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:49.960
<v Speaker 3>Download the Upward app today. I do want to reflect

0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:51.679
<v Speaker 3>though a little bit on what it is finished, and

0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:53.560
<v Speaker 3>I saw this great clip that I wanted to share

0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:56.000
<v Speaker 3>with all of you guys on the different meanings of

0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:58.720
<v Speaker 3>what this means. This is from Josh Howardton sought one

0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:00.080
<v Speaker 3>when Jesus.

0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:02.240
<v Speaker 5>On the cross, he cried out it is finished. That's

0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:04.480
<v Speaker 5>how it gets translated in English. But that was just

0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:07.160
<v Speaker 5>a translation of the Greek word to telesty.

0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:08.360
<v Speaker 1>There was a word that was.

0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:10.800
<v Speaker 5>Used in a business context on ancient receipts in the

0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:14.199
<v Speaker 5>New Testament Bible times to indicate that literal debt had

0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:16.840
<v Speaker 5>been paid in full. It was also used in a

0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:20.600
<v Speaker 5>judicial context in a court when a sentence was fully served,

0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:24.200
<v Speaker 5>completely and fully, once and for all served. The word

0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:28.040
<v Speaker 5>to tell sty was also used in a military context,

0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:30.000
<v Speaker 5>meaning that a battle had been won. It was a

0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:32.560
<v Speaker 5>word of like triumph in victory. When Jesus hangs on

0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:35.720
<v Speaker 5>the cross and he cries out to tell sty it

0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:40.200
<v Speaker 5>is finished. He was declaring the debt of your sin

0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:44.200
<v Speaker 5>is fully paid, the judgment for your sin has been

0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:47.400
<v Speaker 5>fully served, and the spiritual war against death, sin and

0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:51.840
<v Speaker 5>satan has been completely won. In Christ. The work of salvation, victory, reconciliation,

0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:54.080
<v Speaker 5>and a new life is fully yours.

0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:57.680
<v Speaker 2>It is finished. Amen.

0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:02.040
<v Speaker 4>Also, as Jesus said that he had come to fulfill

0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:05.240
<v Speaker 4>the law, kind of means that as well it is fulfilled.

0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:09.920
<v Speaker 3>Mm hmm, yeah, absolutely. I love that the Catholics read

0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:11.600
<v Speaker 3>from John.

0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:13.800
<v Speaker 4>There's there's many interesting parts about it. One of the

0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:18.360
<v Speaker 4>most interesting to me is when you do readings in church,

0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:23.520
<v Speaker 4>all of the gospel readings are they're done by the priest,

0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:27.880
<v Speaker 4>exclusively by the priest. And the one exception is during

0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:31.800
<v Speaker 4>the passion readings where they actually will have the audience

0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:34.200
<v Speaker 4>take part of it, and you're taking the part of

0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:36.920
<v Speaker 4>the mob of the crowd which goes in the story.

0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:38.680
<v Speaker 2>So when they say.

0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:43.800
<v Speaker 4>The one that's really memorable, I can't remember if this

0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:46.280
<v Speaker 4>is in let me see, do they have it in

0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:48.080
<v Speaker 4>John or is it only.

0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:52.640
<v Speaker 2>In uh Okay, the memorable one?

0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:55.720
<v Speaker 4>When they say take him away, they cried out. He says, behold,

0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:57.240
<v Speaker 4>you're a king. And then they cry out, and this

0:15:57.320 --> 0:15:59.640
<v Speaker 4>is the audience in the service will say this, take

0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:03.400
<v Speaker 4>him away, take him away, crucify him. Pilot said to them,

0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:06.600
<v Speaker 4>shall I crucify your king? And the chief priests answered,

0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:09.040
<v Speaker 4>and then this is everyone says, we have no king

0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:13.360
<v Speaker 4>but Caesar. And that audience that says that, it very

0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:18.840
<v Speaker 4>much drives home our collective sin, our collective guilt.

0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:21.760
<v Speaker 2>And it's our sin that held him there on that cross.

0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:24.840
<v Speaker 4>He was crushed for our iniquity, he was punished for

0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:26.600
<v Speaker 4>our iniquities crushed for our sins.

0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:29.840
<v Speaker 2>It personalizes it in a really powerful way. Yeah.

0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:32.160
<v Speaker 3>I love that, and I love so much of the

0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:37.440
<v Speaker 3>ancient liturgy and the rituals. This is the Charlie Kirk show.

0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:40.680
<v Speaker 3>He loved talking about these things. Let's go ahead and

0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:43.520
<v Speaker 3>play more of Charlie in his own words, reflecting on

0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:44.640
<v Speaker 3>his faith sought.

0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:48.960
<v Speaker 1>For the modern gospel is God has this beautiful, amazing,

0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:51.240
<v Speaker 1>wonderful life for you, and if you give your life

0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:56.040
<v Speaker 1>to Christ, your life will infinitely improve. That is somewhat true,

0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:59.280
<v Speaker 1>but it's very misleading because you're basically trying to sell

0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:03.520
<v Speaker 1>people in Christianity of a life without difficulty. Where the

0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:05.920
<v Speaker 1>better way to teach the gospel is here's the ten commandments.

0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:07.960
<v Speaker 1>How many these are you violating? Oh, you deserve to

0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:10.320
<v Speaker 1>go to hell, and you probably will unless you give

0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:13.200
<v Speaker 1>your life to Christ. That is the proper way to evangelize.

0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:15.480
<v Speaker 1>And so I realized the stakes in fifth grade. I

0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:17.760
<v Speaker 1>was like, Oh, my goodness, I'm a sinner, I'm selfish,

0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:23.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm broken, and only thanks to Jesus's perfect sacrifice, coming

0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:25.760
<v Speaker 1>and living a perfect life that I get something I

0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:27.639
<v Speaker 1>do not earn, but has been given to me this

0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:29.000
<v Speaker 1>free gift of eternal life.

0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:33.560
<v Speaker 3>So good, so good, good job team, We've got all

0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:35.960
<v Speaker 3>these tweets of Charlie's too.

0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:36.720
<v Speaker 2>He says.

0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:39.840
<v Speaker 3>This is from April eighteenth, twenty twenty five. He says,

0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:42.920
<v Speaker 3>today is good Friday. Thank you Jesus for your amazing

0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:45.679
<v Speaker 3>and unthinkable sacrifice. You died so that we would have

0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:49.480
<v Speaker 3>life and life in abundance. And then he quotes scripture

0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:51.320
<v Speaker 3>from Mark fifteen. It was nine in the morning when

0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:54.720
<v Speaker 3>they crucified him. The written notice of the charged against

0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:57.320
<v Speaker 3>him read the King of the Jews. With a loud cry,

0:17:57.440 --> 0:18:00.080
<v Speaker 3>Jesus breathed his last. The curtain of the temple was

0:18:00.119 --> 0:18:02.520
<v Speaker 3>torn in two from top to bottom. And win the

0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:06.040
<v Speaker 3>centurion who stood there in front of Jesus saw how

0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:09.080
<v Speaker 3>he died. He said, surely this man was the son

0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:09.600
<v Speaker 3>of God.

0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:13.359
<v Speaker 2>Got more to read? You want to read the next one?

0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:16.159
<v Speaker 4>Now, this one's very long, so I don't think we

0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:17.879
<v Speaker 4>can complete it, but I would encourage you guys to

0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:20.880
<v Speaker 4>search it on exits. From April twentieth of last year,

0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:25.120
<v Speaker 4>so Charlie's last Easter with us, And he said, today

0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:28.520
<v Speaker 4>we celebrate the resurrection of Christ, a real event of history.

0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:33.080
<v Speaker 4>He has risen, and he lists ten historical facts to

0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:36.320
<v Speaker 4>back the resurrection of Christ. The first of them is

0:18:36.359 --> 0:18:38.600
<v Speaker 4>just that he was criscified under ponscious Pilot. I love

0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:40.840
<v Speaker 4>to mention to people, this is a name that is

0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:43.879
<v Speaker 4>in the Creed that most Christians will recite. He was

0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:47.800
<v Speaker 4>crucified under ponscious Pilot. This is a statement of historical

0:18:47.920 --> 0:18:50.440
<v Speaker 4>fact that this was a real person who was involved

0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:53.879
<v Speaker 4>in it. He was buried in a known tomb. The

0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:58.200
<v Speaker 4>tomb was discovered empty by women. Christianity's fiercest enemies became

0:18:58.280 --> 0:19:02.720
<v Speaker 4>some of its loudest witnesses. And he goes on with

0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:07.720
<v Speaker 4>ten other things. And Charlie was very important. He was

0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:10.480
<v Speaker 4>such a witness to the Gospel, and he was such

0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:15.760
<v Speaker 4>a powerful promulgator of it in its most direct sense.

0:19:15.880 --> 0:19:17.600
<v Speaker 4>I just loved that where he said that where it's

0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:19.800
<v Speaker 4>you know, you don't give this touchy feely thing. You say,

0:19:20.160 --> 0:19:24.240
<v Speaker 4>you are a sinner and you require salvation for your sins,

0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:25.600
<v Speaker 4>or it's going to be very bad.

0:19:26.119 --> 0:19:31.320
<v Speaker 3>Repent for the Kingdom of God is near. And amen.

0:19:31.880 --> 0:19:35.200
<v Speaker 3>All right, that was our good Friday episode. I hope

0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:39.199

<v Speaker 3>the sacrifice that Jesus Christ.

0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:43.119
<v Speaker 2>Has made for you. He died on the cross today

0:19:43.800 --> 0:19:45.080
