Okay, we're gonna be. 74 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 3: In John chapter twenty, starting at verse one, you'll see 75 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 3: the scriptures on the screens. Here's what it says. John 76 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 3: Chapter twenty, Verse one. It says, early on the first 77 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 3: day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary 78 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 3: Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone 79 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 3: had been removed from the entrance. So she came running 80 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 3: to Simon, Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved. 81 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 3: Just to notate John is writing this about himself, okay, 82 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 3: And this. 83 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: Is what she says. 84 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 3: She says, they have taken the Lord out of the tomb, 85 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 3: and we don't know where they have put him. 86 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: So Peter and the. 87 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 3: Other disciple, the one that Jesus loved, they started running 88 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 3: for the tomb. 89 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: Watch this. 90 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 3: Both were running, but the other disciple out ran Peter. 91 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 3: So not only is John saying I'm the one that 92 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 3: Jesus loves, he wanted you to know that I'm faster 93 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 3: than Peter. 94 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:26,799 Speaker 1: Peter reached the tomb. 95 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 3: Both were running in the other disciple out ran Peter 96 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 3: and reached the tomb first. He bent over and looked 97 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:39,279 Speaker 3: in at the tomb the strips of linen lying there, 98 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 3: but did not go in. Then Simon Peter came along 99 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 3: behind him and went straight into the tomb. 100 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 1: He saw the strips of linen. 101 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,840 Speaker 3: Lying there, as well as a cloth that had been 102 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 3: wrapped around Jesus's head. The cloth was still lying in 103 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:01,720 Speaker 3: its place, separate from the linen. Finally, the other disciple, 104 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 3: who had reached the tombe first, also with inside he 105 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:13,919 Speaker 3: saw and believed.

Let me let me, 152 00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 1: let me, let me be honest with you. 153 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 3: This was actually the first and last time that I've 154 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 3: ever played golf. The clothes that I had on all 155 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 3: were purchased forty eight hours before tea tan the hat, 156 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 3: the polo, the pants, and the golf shoes. The only 157 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 3: thing that we know for sure is that I came 158 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 3: home smelling like I had been outside, like the grass 159 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 3: was was permeating our house. 160 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: The clubs that I used were borrowed. 161 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 3: There's something else we read about in the text that 162 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 3: was borrowed. Who knows that Jesus was put into a 163 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 3: borrow tone. You see, that's evidence that he was going 164 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 3: to be raised from the dead. Because he made the 165 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 3: decision to borrow the tone because he wasn't gonna stay 166 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 3: there bury long. Is anybody came to have church on 167 00:09:54,080 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 3: a Sunday morning. So you started to look at this 168 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,199 Speaker 3: video and some of you were like, oh, I can see. 169 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: He could play golf. 170 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 3: But that was compelling evidence of my golfing ability, but 171 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 3: it wasn't conclusive.

You 254 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 3: see Palm Sunday them celebrating Jesus. It wasn't conclusive evidence 255 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 3: about their hearts. 256 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 1: What it was was Jesus fulfilling a prophecy. That's what 257 00:14:58,960 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: it was. 258 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 3: For many of you have come today and the prayer 259 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 3: that was on your heart was I need some proof. 260 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 3: I need some proof that God is real.

I need some evidence today and you've been 263 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 3: scrolling on social media and some people have started. 264 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: To build a TikTok and instagram. 265 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 3: Theology about the church, about the Bride of Christ. But 266 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 3: have you shown up to one of our campuses. 267 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 1: Have you showed up to a pop up? 268 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 3: Have you showed up and seen people give hugs the people. 269 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 1: That desperately needed to be encouraged. 270 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 3: Have you showed up and checked your kids and the 271 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 3: kids and had them teach you about Jesus. Can we 272 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 3: take a moment and thank God for the Bride of Christ. 273 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: I love my church. 274 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 3: I'm not saying we're perfect, but my church is praying. 275 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: For some people. My church is serving in some people's lives. 276 00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 3: My church shows up when disaster strikes. Don't let what 277 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 3: Instagram told you fool you. 278 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: The church is. 279 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 3: Alive, God is moving, peace, faithful, Thank you Lord. So 280 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 3: let's get back to the text. What true my attention 281 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 3: was is that you see Mary share this story. She 282 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 3: says to the disciples. She says, they took my savior 283 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 3: and I don't know where he is. 284 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 1: They took my savior and we don't know where he is. 285 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 3: We wouldn't be here today if that was true. We 286 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 3: didn't come to worship, but did God. We came to 287 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 3: lift up a risen savior. So I was like, why 288 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 3: would she go and tell this story? Without gathering evidence 289 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 3: to corroborate her story. 290 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 1: And there was two mistakes. 291 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 3: There's two mistakes, two mistakes that we see Mary makes 292 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 3: in this text. 293 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 1: Go to verse one, Verse one, verse one. Watch this. 294 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 3: It says, early on the first day of the week, 295 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 3: while it was still dark, that spoke to me. Write 296 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 3: this down. Beware of the evidence you find in the dark. 297 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 3: You see, it wasn't just dark because the. 298 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: Sun hadn't came up yet. 299 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 3: It wasn't just dark outside, it was dark inside. 300 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: Remember, they just lost their friend. They just saw. 301 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 3: Jesus brutally beaten and hung up on a cross. 302 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: They're grieving. 303 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 3: God gave me this point for somebody who walked in 304 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 3: today and the sun still hadn't came up yet. 305 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:56,120 Speaker 1: I don't know what. 306 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 3: You're walking through today, but God told me to tell you, 307 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 3: beware of the evidence you find in the dark. You 308 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 3: can't see well when the lights. 309 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 1: Aren't turned on. 310 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 3: There's some evidence that will start to misconstrue the story 311 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 3: that God is trying to bring together. Just about six 312 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 3: weeks ago, my oldest son I twin boys. When I 313 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 3: say oldest, he's oldest by six six minutes.

I can corroborate his story if he 316 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 3: tells you the oldest, he's the oldest. 317 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 1: Twin. 318 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:39,159 Speaker 3: He was in gym playing and got pushed too hard 319 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,119 Speaker 3: playing around and he fell into his shoulder and broke 320 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:48,679 Speaker 3: his collar bone.

He was trying to use this. He was 325 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 3: trying to use this to me can think that that 326 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,920 Speaker 3: maybe I'm gonna fall behind and I'm not gonna be 327 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 3: good enough to be able to play again, or the 328 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 3: pain of what he was feeling that it was becoming 329 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 3: so much. There's things that he wants to do he 330 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 3: can't do.

I'm trying my 333 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 3: best to encourage him, like, hey, son's son, It's okay 334 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,919 Speaker 3: for you to be mad, it's okay for you to 335 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,199 Speaker 3: be frustrated, hey, but but I want you to know 336 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 3: that God's hand is on your life, that God could 337 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 3: use this too.

We went to 346 00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 3: the doctor, and our doctor that's taken care of my son, 347 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,880 Speaker 3: he comes to the church and he's encouraging my son. 348 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 3: And when we're getting done, he looks at my son 349 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:08,439 Speaker 3: and he starts to tell him. He said, God can 350 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,879 Speaker 3: use this too. He was trying to let him know. 351 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 1: He said. 352 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 3: He told my son and he said, most athletes that 353 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 3: actually make it to the college level, they gained the 354 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 3: mental toughness to be able to do what they do 355 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:24,639 Speaker 3: because they made it through that obstacle. They came over 356 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 3: an injury. And at the end of his speak, he 357 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:29,120 Speaker 3: put his hand on my side. 358 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 1: He said, would you, magnif I prayed for you. See, 359 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: he's ministering to my son. 360 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 3: But he didn't know that he was ministering to me 361 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 3: in that moment because I was praying, I don't know 362 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:40,640 Speaker 3: anything about broken bones. 363 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:41,199 Speaker 1: I don't know. 364 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 3: I'm like God, I need you to do something. And 365 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 3: it was a moment for God to just start to 366 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 3: turn the lights on. Now here's the next thing that 367 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 3: that Mary did wrong, It says verse two, verse two. 368 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 3: So she came running to Simon, Peter and the other disciple, 369 00:20:58,800 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 3: I know, the one that Jesus loved. 370 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: Come on, John, did you catch it? She didn't go in. 371 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,719 Speaker 3: Beware of the evidence you find in the dark, and 372 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:18,879 Speaker 3: beware of the evidence you find at a distance. She 373 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 3: didn't even go into the tube. She saw that the 374 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 3: stone was rolled away, immediately ran back and told the 375 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 3: disciples they've taken Jesus and we. 376 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,399 Speaker 1: Don't know where they put him.

We tried 381 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 3: to give it a few minutes, but I think you're 382 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:49,879 Speaker 3: gonna need to take him into the doctor to be 383 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 3: able to see what actually's going on? What has been 384 00:21:54,119 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 3: misdiagnosed in your life because the evidence that you you gathered, 385 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 3: you gathered. 386 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:02,719 Speaker 1: At a distance. 387 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 3: You didn't get close enough to see exactly what was 388 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 3: going on. You're calling things that God has blessed, you're 389 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 3: calling them broken. This might be somebody you just now 390 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 3: are going through a breakup and you walked in heartbroken today. 391 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 3: God told me to tell you stop for a moment, 392 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 3: just to tell you that's a blessing. He wasn't the 393 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:29,120 Speaker 3: one you just dodged the bullet. I don't know who 394 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:35,399 Speaker 3: that is for. That's not in my notes.

I'm not qualified for that job. 408 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:27,679 Speaker 3: Put the application in. Put the application in. I wonder 409 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 3: how much pain my son would have been in if 410 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:33,120 Speaker 3: we wouldn't have gone into the doctor to actually get 411 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 3: an accurate diagnosis of what's going on. Beware of the 412 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 3: evidence you find in the dark. Beware of the evidence 413 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 3: you find at a distance. I thank god, I thank 414 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 3: god that Peter and John that they they didn't just 415 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,439 Speaker 3: stare at the tomb that was rolled over, the stone 416 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 3: that was rolled away, but they actually got closer to investigate. 417 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 3: And so here's what I want want to do. Here's 418 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 3: what I'm doing. I need somebody that has a Bible. 419 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 3: Somebody has a Bible. There you go, Okay, the John 420 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 3: chapter twenty, John chapter twenty, what's the title of this section? 421 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 1: When you go to John chapter twenty, what's the title? 422 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:16,680 Speaker 1: It says? The empty tomb, says the empty tomb? Right now. 423 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,879 Speaker 3: Our pastor has taught us that a lot of times 424 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,120 Speaker 3: we don't realize that these titles and things they were 425 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 3: put on after the scriptures were written. And as I 426 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 3: was reading. God blessed me because I realized that that 427 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 3: just wasn't true. Jesus did rise from the dead, but 428 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 3: that tune wasn't empty. 429 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 1: The tune wasn't empty. It was full of evidence. 430 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 3: And so what I want to do is I want 431 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 3: to I want to preach for the rest of my 432 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 3: time to be able to show you what was left 433 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 3: in that. 434 00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 1: Tomb that we can follow. I believe it be compelling. 435 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:02,959 Speaker 3: I believe that you'll get to the point we have 436 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:07,120 Speaker 3: conclusive evidence that God hadn't forgot about you, that you're 437 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,120 Speaker 3: not alone in this, that God has been with you. 438 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:15,440 Speaker 1: And so let's let's let's get into it. So let's 439 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 1: go to verse Let's go to verse three. 440 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:22,160 Speaker 3: So so Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb. 441 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 3: Both were running, and John was faster. Okay, we got 442 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 3: it John. 443 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 1: Verse five. John gets there. 444 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 3: He doesn't go in, but he bends over and he 445 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,360 Speaker 3: looks in and he sees the strips of linen lying there. 446 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,920 Speaker 3: And and then at verse six, Simon Peter came along 447 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 3: behind him. He went straight into the tomb, and he 448 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 3: saw the strips of linen, and. 449 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:47,119 Speaker 1: He sees this cloth. 450 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,679 Speaker 3: Okay, So, so Mary didn't go in, but what she 451 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,439 Speaker 3: sees is that the stone had been rolled away. So 452 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 3: here I want to give you exhibit A exhibit A 453 00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 3: put up on a streen. 454 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,159 Speaker 1: This is the stone. 455 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,360 Speaker 3: This would have This would have been what a Jewish 456 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:06,399 Speaker 3: tomb would have looked like where Jesus would have been buried. 457 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 3: They having a side of a mountain.

It 521 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 3: would have looked something like this. These were Jesus's grave clothes. 522 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:43,080 Speaker 3: These strips of linen was wrapped around Jesus's body. Can 523 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 3: you imagine leaning and looking and seeing the dried bloodstains. 524 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 1: What was crimson red is now turned brown. 525 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 3: As you look at these strips of linen that were 526 00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 3: wrapped around my saviors by that was broken and bruised, 527 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 3: you see the stone. It tells a story of God's power. 528 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 3: The strips of lenin they tell the story of God's pain, 529 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 3: the pain that Jesus went through for you, the pain that. 530 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 1: Jesus went through for you.

You're like, I'm 533 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 3: not valuable. You may be even considered taking your own life. 534 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 3: The strips of linen. It shows me God's pain, but 535 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 3: it reveals my purpose. It lets me know that I 536 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 3: have value. It lets me know, It lets me know, 537 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 3: no matter what compelling evidence the world tries to throw 538 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,480 Speaker 3: in my face, that Jesus loved me so much, he 539 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 3: died for me. Why would I walk around being shackled 540 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 3: and changed when Jesus paid. 541 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 1: For my freedom? Why would I be walking around. 542 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 3: In desperate need of hope and desperate need of peace. 543 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 1: He died for you, He died for you. 544 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 3: He took on the pain so you didn't have to. 545 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 3: When I see the strips of linen. It reminds me 546 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 3: the pain that he went through. Lets me know that 547 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 3: my life has purpose. So you have the stone that's 548 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 3: rolled away, shows this evidence of God's power, tells a story. 549 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 3: You see the strips of linen lying there with the 550 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 3: dried bloodstains, reminding us of Jesus. 551 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 1: Dying for us. 552 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 3: But then says that there's this cloth, it'll looks something 553 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,520 Speaker 3: like this, and it was. When you read it, it 554 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,320 Speaker 3: gives detail. It shows that it was separate from the linen. 555 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 3: And when you start to look at the way that 556 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 3: it was written, it. 557 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 1: Actually was folded so less of a closet. 558 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 3: Really was like a napkin folded left there for them 559 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 3: to find. And I begin to study. I was like, God, 560 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 3: what is the story that the napkin tells? And this 561 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 3: blessed me. 562 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 1: I hope it blesses you. 563 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 3: You see in Jewish culture, if they were having a 564 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 3: banquet and and the master sitting at the table, everybody's joyful, 565 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:43,320 Speaker 3: they're having a good time, and he's eating. When he's done, 566 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 3: he'll ball up his napkin and he will place it 567 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,440 Speaker 3: on his plate, and he excused himself of the table. 568 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:50,960 Speaker 1: When the napkins balled up. 569 00:32:51,080 --> 00:33:07,720 Speaker 3: It'll let the servants know that the master's done. But 570 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 3: if the Master takes time to fold the napkin, he's 571 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 3: letting you know I'm coming back. He's letting you know 572 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 3: I'm not done. 573 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:21,720 Speaker 1: He's letting you know I'm not finished. 574 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 3: I don't know what problem you face, but my God 575 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 3: has a plan. 576 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 1: He's coming back to save you. He's coming back to 577 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,280 Speaker 1: heal you. He's coming back to provide for you. 578 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,120 Speaker 3: The folded napkin lets me know that my God has 579 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 3: a plan. I know we're trying to figure some things out, 580 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 3: but my God has a plan. I know we're watching 581 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 3: the stock market, like what are we gonna do? 582 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 1: My God has a plan. I God. 583 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,800 Speaker 3: Tap your neighbor, tell him, God has a plan. My 584 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:57,240 Speaker 3: God has a plan. The napkin was folded. The napkin 585 00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,200 Speaker 3: was folded. My King is coming back. He's not done. 586 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 3: He's not done. He's not done. Thank you Jesus. But 587 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:11,240 Speaker 3: as I continued to read, I thought all was done. 588 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:16,000 Speaker 3: I was like, I got three points. Let's shut it down, 589 00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:22,399 Speaker 3: let's go home. The God gave me one more piece 590 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,960 Speaker 3: of evidence left in this tomb that tells a story. 591 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,319 Speaker 1: So Remember Mary doesn't even go all the way in, 592 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 1: but she sees the. 593 00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:36,399 Speaker 3: The stone was rolled away. You got John, who gets 594 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,000 Speaker 3: the edge of the whom looks in. He sees the 595 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,719 Speaker 3: strips of linen. Then you got Peter. He goes all 596 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 3: the way in and he sees the. 597 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 1: Cloth lying there. 598 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:50,759 Speaker 3: Now, remember the reason why there was a crowd when 599 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:55,480 Speaker 3: Jesus was riding into Jerusalem on the donkey was because 600 00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:58,360 Speaker 3: he had just healed Lazar, or raised Lazarus from the dead. 601 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:02,240 Speaker 3: That's why they showed up up. They were blown away 602 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:06,640 Speaker 3: by this miracle. And I went back and I just 603 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 3: began to study his resurrection, and there was one thing 604 00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:17,759 Speaker 3: that stood out to me. Let's go to John John 605 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:23,200 Speaker 3: chapter eleven, verse thirty nine. This is when Jesus is 606 00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:26,319 Speaker 3: about to raise Lazarus from the dead. Pay attention to this. 607 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:31,440 Speaker 3: It says, take away the stone. He said, that's Jesus talking. 608 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,359 Speaker 3: But then listen to what Martha says to him. But 609 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:39,600 Speaker 3: Lord said, Martha, the sister of the dead man, this 610 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:46,720 Speaker 3: is Lazarus sister. By this time, there is a bad odor, 611 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:52,680 Speaker 3: for he's been in there three days. His body had 612 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:57,279 Speaker 3: had to start decaying. Get ready, because when we roll 613 00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,960 Speaker 3: this stone away, there's gonna be a smell that comes 614 00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:04,880 Speaker 3: out from a riting and decaying body. I went to 615 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 3: Matthew and I read about the resurrection of Jesus. I 616 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,840 Speaker 3: went to Mark and I read about the resurrection of Jesus. 617 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:11,960 Speaker 1: I went. 618 00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:16,640 Speaker 3: I went to Luke and I read about the resurrection 619 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,799 Speaker 3: of Jesus. And I got to John. Not in any 620 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 3: one of the four gospels does anybody talk about a 621 00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:29,400 Speaker 3: smell coming from my savior soon. You ever had somebody 622 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 3: say to you, hey, I went through the fire, but 623 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:36,120 Speaker 3: I don't smell like smoke. Jesus went to the tomb 624 00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:37,920 Speaker 3: and didn't come out smelling like death. 625 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 1: What I'm trying to tell. 626 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:46,080 Speaker 3: You is is that the smell tells a story. That 627 00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:50,640 Speaker 3: even the smell is evidence. You know what it tells me. 628 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:57,279 Speaker 3: It tells me a story of God's protection. That what 629 00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:01,879 Speaker 3: you are going through, you have been through, doesn't have 630 00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:08,640 Speaker 3: to define you. I come to declare today that for 631 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,400 Speaker 3: some of years I was preaching about God moving stones. 632 00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,799 Speaker 3: The enemy was whispering her year, but he didn't move 633 00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:23,080 Speaker 3: that one for you.
