Speaker 5: Have you ever watched a movie or a show and

33
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 5: you'd seen it before you knew the end of the story.

34
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 5: Maybe you were watching it with a friend and they knew.

35
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 5: They didn't know the end of the story, but you

36
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 5: did so when all the suspenseful parts were coming, you

37
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 5: weren't anxious or concern because you knew the end of

38
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 5: the story. You see today, you and I are living

39
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 5: in the end of resurrection story. See, we know what

40
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 5: happened the day that Jesus died. We know what happened

41
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 5: when he was buried, he rose again. We're living at

42
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 5: the end of the story. But see two thousand years

43
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 5: ago there was disciples and followers of Jesus that were

44
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 5: actually living in the story. They didn't know what was

45
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 5: going to happen. You know, the interesting thing about a story.

46
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 5: When you're watching it, that's one thing. But when it's

47
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 5: happening to your own life, that's an entirely different thing.

48
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 5: You See, when it's happening to you and you face

49
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 5: difficulties and challenges and suspenseful plots, it's difficult. You can't

50
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 5: always remember the end of the story. You can't always

51
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 5: remember what has been promised. See today, I'll want to

52
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 5: talk about a band of women, one being Mary Magdalene,

53
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 5: Mary the mother of James, and a few others. You see,

54
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 5: they were living the story two thousand years ago. In fact,

55
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 5: they saw Jesus as he walked the earth. They saw

56
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 5: him do tremendous miracles. They saw him open blind eyes

57
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 5: and deaf ears. In fact, Mary Magdalene her life was

58
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 5: completely changed, radically changed by Jesus. She had a miserable life.

59
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 5: The Bible says that she was full of darkness, but

60
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 5: Jesus touched her and she became full of life. See,

61
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 5: she was living the story of this grand savior, Jesus

62
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 5: but she also lived the story of his death. She

63
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 5: walked through the story when he hung on the cross.

64
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 5: She saw him as he died slowly on that cross.

65
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 5: She saw when they took him down and Joseph asked

66
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 5: for his body so that he could wrap him in

67
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 5: linen and take him to a tomb. And that tone

68
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 5: was seal that day with a huge, huge stone. She

69
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 5: saw it all. And as Jesus lay in that tone,

70
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 5: her hopes, her dreams lay there with him. You see,

71
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 5: she saw it all. She was living in the story.

72
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 5: One day after the Sabbath, she woke up early in

73
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 5: the morning, the Bible says, the sun had just come up,

74
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 5: and she in that band of women. They gathered spices.

75
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 5: They wanted to anoint Jesus's body one last time. They

76
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 5: were on their way to the tomb. I can imagine.

77
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 5: It was still misty in the air, that was still

78
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 5: dew on the grass. They had all their stuff, They

79
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 5: knew their assignment, they knew what their heart was beating for,

80
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 5: and they were on their way. But on that path

81
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 5: to the Tone, they remembered something. They remembered the large

82
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 5: stone that sealed the entrance of that tomb, and they

83
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 5: began talking among themselves about that that big obstacle. They

84
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 5: begin thinking, how in the world are we going to

85
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 5: move that stone? The Bible says in Mark sixteen fourth,

86
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 5: they set among themselves, who will help us roll away

87
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 5: the stone? You see, that stone represented a block to them.

88
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 5: As long as that stone was there, they couldn't enter

89
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 5: the tomb and anoint the body of Jesus. That stone

90
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 5: was too big for them to move themselves. Have you

91
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 5: ever felt that way before? Has something ever blocked your life?

92
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 5: Maybe you've heard your own self saying, who's going to

93
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 5: help me move this thing? Have you ever had a

94
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 5: block in your life? Maybe you wanted to start a

95
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 5: new business, but you kept hitting obstacles, draining your resources.

96
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 5: Maybe you had a stone of an unwanted divorce, a

97
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 5: stone of a bad medical report, stone of fear, stone

98
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 5: of debt. See those stones, they come in different shapes

99
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 5: and different sizes. Maybe the stone you're not facing you're

100
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 5: facing today, is not as big as the one of

101
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 5: the tomb. Maybe it is, but can I tell you

102
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 5: it's a stone that wants to block you. It's real.

103
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 5: They come in different shapes, they come in different sizes.

104
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 5: But you know what the purpose is the purpose is

105
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 5: to stop us. The purpose is to trap us thinking

106
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 5: that will never overcome that stone. It's too big, the

107
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 5: challenge is too hard. We might as well quit now.

108
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 5: You know what I loved about Mary and Martha. Mary

109
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 5: and Mary was the fact that when they remembered the stone,

110
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 5: they didn't stop. They kept going. And when they got

111
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 5: to the tomb, the Bible says that they looked up

112
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 5: and they were so surprised the stone had been rolled away.

113
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 5: The stone was not blocking the tomb anymore. The obstacle

114
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 5: that was trying to defeat them had been rolled away.

115
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 5: Think about that just a minute. What they were worried about,

116
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 5: what was there is now gone. Mary walked into the

117
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 5: tomb and saw the angel, and the angel declared to her,

118
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 5: are you looking for Jesus. He's not here. He's risen.

119
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 5: He's risen. You see. The problem that she was facing

120
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 5: that day was met with the promise, the promise of

121
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 5: the resurrection. As soon as the angel told her, he's

122
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 5: not here, he's risen. The Bible says that she was

123
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 5: reminded of the promises of Jesus. He said, I'll rise again.

124
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 5: He said, the temple will be built back in three days.

125
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 5: See when she heard it, she remembered the promise. Sometimes

126
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 5: when you're walking through a difficult situation and there's obstacles

127
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 5: in your path, it's hard to remember those resurrection promises.

128
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 5: But can I tell you today stones are meant to

129
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 5: stop you. Sometimes there are stones in reality that you

130
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 5: cannot move on your own. They are impossible, they're out

131
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 5: of your control. But can I tell you today that

132
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 5: Jesus is alive and he's still rolling away the stones.

133
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:26,119
Speaker 5: He's still moving stones in your life. It was Easter

134
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 5: Sunday and Mary didn't even know it. I hope this

135
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 5: is each Easter Sunday makes you take a look at

136
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 5: those blocks in your life, those stones, those things that

137
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 5: are trying to weigh you down, cause fear and anxiety,

138
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 5: those things that would like to stop you from fulfilling

139
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 5: your destiny. I hope you look at those stones differently,

140
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 5: and next time you run into one of those things,

141
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 5: I hope you look at it and you say, he

142
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 5: has risen and I will stand on the resurrection promises

143
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 5: of the Lord Jean this Christ. If you are facing

144
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 5: the stone of discouragement today, I want to remind you

145
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 5: that he heals the broken heart, and he binds up

146
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 5: their wounds. If you're looking at the stone a fear today,

147
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 5: I want to remind you what the promises says. It

148
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 5: says that I have not given you a spirit of fear,

149
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 5: but of power, love and a sound mind. Do you

150
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 5: know with every stone there's a promise. Just like that

151
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 5: day that Mary walked to that tone, that problem was

152
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 5: resolved by the promise of the Resurrection. Know today, whatever

153
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 5: you're facing, there's a promise to help you overcome. There's

154
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 5: a promise to strengthen you. He still heals, he still delivers,

155
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 5: and he still sets free today by the power of

156
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 5: the resurrection. But it's up to us to remember the
