I'm 97 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 6: talking about a renowned preacher by the name of John 98 00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:04,439 Speaker 6: Piper and his message about how Jesus defeated our greatest 99 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:09,959 Speaker 6: enemy from the inside. So picture this a battle of 100 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 6: cosmic proportions, raging not on distant battlefields, but within the 101 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 6: very depths of our souls, a tempest in a teapot 102 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 6: of our own individual souls, a battle against sin, darkness, 103 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 6: you know, your demons, against all that seeks to separate 104 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 6: us from the love of God. And in this struggle 105 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 6: stands Christ, our savior, our redeemer, our ultimate champion. In 106 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 6: this sermon, as you're going to hear, John Piper takes 107 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 6: us on a journey into the heart of this. I mean, 108 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:58,079 Speaker 6: it really is spiritual warfare, revealing that Christ doesn't just 109 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 6: defeat sin and death from the outside, but from within, 110 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:08,959 Speaker 6: not just foreign enemies, but domestic, literally the depths of 111 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:13,439 Speaker 6: human broke brokenness. I was gonna say brokeness, but brokenness 112 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 6: is what he penetrated, our struggling, our suffering, our temptations, 113 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 6: and the ultimate victory. 114 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 9: It's a beautiful message Jesus. 115 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,439 Speaker 6: You think about it didn't just come to earth as 116 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 6: some distant observer passing judgment from afar. He walked among us, 117 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 6: felt what we feel, experienced our pain. He was made man, 118 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 6: was made of the flesh, just like us, our sorrows, 119 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:52,079 Speaker 6: our humanity, our pain, our suffering, and in that he 120 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 6: conquered the very forces that sought to destroy us. Pastor 121 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 6: John Piper unpacks what I consider to be a profound truth, 122 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:11,199 Speaker 6: and he does it with what was clarity conviction, and 123 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 6: he talks about how this is not just a one 124 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 6: time event, but an ongoing, continual, consistent reality, and it 125 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:27,439 Speaker 6: is available to us today. Through his death and resurrection. 126 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 6: Jesus broke the power of sin and death once and 127 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:40,319 Speaker 6: for all, offering us the hope, the prayer, the opportunity 128 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 6: of new life and freedom in him. 129 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 9: Here we go. 130 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,439 Speaker 5: In the beginning was the Word, and the word was 131 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:53,959 Speaker 5: with God, and the Word was God. Jesus Christ is God, 132 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 5: and therefore he has divine rights, creator rights to subdue 133 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 5: all reality under his feet. However, there is another sense 134 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 5: in which he has that power, because what we learn 135 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 5: in the New Testament is. 136 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 9: That God the Father. 137 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 5: Thought it fitting and wise and just and beautiful and 138 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 5: good and right that the one who would reign over 139 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 5: humans and reign over all the pain of humans and 140 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 5: all the sin of humans, should be one of them 141 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 5: before he assumes his role as reigning judge over them. 142 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 5: There is a fitness in God's mind that the one 143 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 5: who will rule should also redeem, that the one who 144 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 5: will come as the Lion of Judah before whom people 145 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,679 Speaker 5: will want to commit suicide rather than face his judgment. 146 00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,559 Speaker 5: That the Lion of Judah will first be the lamb 147 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 5: slain on the cross for the sins of those he's 148 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 5: coming to damn if they reject him. It is fitting 149 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 5: that one who sits upon the throne of the universe, 150 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 5: calling the shots heaven or hell, will have come among 151 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 5: them and said. 152 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: I will save you. 153 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 9: I will save you if you will have me. It 154 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 9: is so fitting that God would do it this way, 155 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 9: and he did it this way. 156 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 5: He doesn't just rule over all things by virtue of 157 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 5: his divine creator rights. He rules over all things by 158 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 5: virtue of his redeemer purchased rights. He came among us, 159 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 5: He bore our sin, He suffered all of our temptations, 160 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 5: He took all of our pain, He took all of 161 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 5: our shame, so that he has not only a creator 162 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,959 Speaker 5: right to subdue the world. He has a redeemer right. 163 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 5: There will be a fitness about it. Let me read 164 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,679 Speaker 5: you one verse on this. Listen to Hebrews two ten. 165 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 5: For it was fitting that he, for whom and by 166 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 5: whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, 167 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 5: should make the founder of their salvation perfect through suffering. 168 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 5: That's a heavy verse. That's an awesome verse. I'll read 169 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 5: it again. This is Hebrews two ten, for it is 170 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 5: fitting that he, this is God, the Father, for whom 171 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 5: and from whom all things exist. In bringing many of you, 172 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 5: many of you, I pray this morning, all of you 173 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 5: to glory, should make the founder. That's Jesus, should make 174 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 5: the founder of their salvation perfect through suffering. The Lord, 175 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 5: the Judge, the savior over the universe, was tested. 176 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 9: He didn't just go up there. He was tested. 177 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 5: He walked all your paths, suffered all your pain, tested 178 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 5: by all of your temptations, and he conquered Satan took 179 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 5: hold of him, killed it, and he let him do it. 180 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 5: Nobody takes my life from me. I lay it down, 181 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 5: and if I lay it down, I can take it again. 182 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 5: He handed his life over to Satan's last weapon and 183 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 5: from the inside blew it dismitherin. 184 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 9: It's another work week in the books. He's getting you 185 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 9: geared up for the weekend. It's the Friday drive home. 186 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:33,239 Speaker 9: On the Michael Barry. 187 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 6: Show, Bishop td Jake says, come under a lot of 188 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 6: suspicion of late for his personal life, or his personal behaviors, 189 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 6: or his money. 190 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 9: But I'll tell you what. 191 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 6: I can't speak to any of that, but I can 192 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 6: tell you that he has a given talent to preach, 193 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 6: and that when he's preaching, he has a voice that 194 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 6: booms like thunder and a spirit that ignites like wildfire. 195 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 6: And I do think it has captured hearts and souls 196 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 6: for Christ. And I think he's in the Hall of 197 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 6: Fame of Christ gatherers Christ ministers for that. Pete Rose 198 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 6: may have had some personal indiscretions, but you can't doubt 199 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 6: what he did on the field. So as we delve 200 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 6: into on this good Friday, on this beginning of the 201 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 6: resurrection season, open your hearts and minds to the wisdom 202 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 6: and inspiration that is not that of TDJS but God 203 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 6: who speaks through us. 204 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 9: I hope you enjoy this. 205 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 13: That's absolutely a perilous time. It was a time that 206 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 13: Jesus had forewarned them about, but they did not understand. 207 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 13: It was a time that their faith was being challenged 208 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,439 Speaker 13: in a way that it had never been challenged before. 209 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 13: It was a time that it was no longer popular 210 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 13: to say you were with Jesus. They had snatched him 211 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 13: from judgment hall to judgment hall. They had beat him 212 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 13: until he was almost unrecognizable. There was no beauty about 213 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:24,959 Speaker 13: him that we should desire him. And they had hug 214 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 13: him high, had stretched him wide on a cross until 215 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 13: the sun got embarrassed and refused to shine. The ground 216 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 13: got nervous and began to tremble, And one writer wrote 217 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 13: that graves opened up all over Jerusalem. 218 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 9: The veil of the temple was rent from the top 219 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:40,639 Speaker 9: to the bottom. 220 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,400 Speaker 13: But you must be clear and understanding that even even 221 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 13: his closest disciples wondered was he really? Was he really 222 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:54,360 Speaker 13: who they thought he was? After him being publicly villainized 223 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 13: and ostracized and alienated, they ran and they hid, and 224 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 13: they were afred, and they were concerned, and they were perplexed, 225 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,719 Speaker 13: and they were jobless, and they were lonely, and they 226 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 13: were uncertain, and they hid. 227 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 9: They got darks. Oh, not just on Friday. It was 228 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 9: a dark Saturday. It was a dark Sabbath. 229 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 13: It was a dark moment of contemplation and confusion and 230 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 13: the alien nation, and them going back in their mind 231 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 13: with memory after memory of what Jesus had said and 232 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 13: what he had done. But the memory that they could 233 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 13: not get out of their head was the memory of 234 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 13: the fact that he died on that cross. 235 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 9: He got stiff on that cross. 236 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 13: They took his rigormortius ridden body and folded his stiff 237 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 13: arms into a death position and wrapped him in linen 238 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 13: and put him in the tomb. And the thing that 239 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,959 Speaker 13: they knew, irrevocably, without any question at all, is that Jesus, 240 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 13: the Master, who had once walked on water, Jesus who 241 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 13: had healed the sick and raised the dead, Jesus who 242 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 13: had turned water into wine, Jesus who had stood on 243 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,399 Speaker 13: the mount of transfiguration and caused the very heavens to 244 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 13: open up. The one thing they knew for sure is 245 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 13: that Jesus he was called. He was absolutely gone. His 246 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 13: mama knew he was gone. She had stood there and 247 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 13: watched not only the Messiah, not only the Lord, not 248 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 13: only the King of Glory, not only watching him die, 249 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 13: but her baby, her child, the one she had raised 250 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 13: and nurtured and nursed on her own rest. She watched 251 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 13: him die. And the one thing they were clear about 252 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 13: is that he was gone, and people begin to scatter. 253 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 13: Jesus had hung himself at the crucifixion and recognized in 254 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 13: his own life, this is too much for me to bear. 255 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 13: Thomas had ran out, doubting and saying, I just don't 256 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 13: know what to think about this. Peter had cursed somebody 257 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 13: out and denied that he had ever known the Lord. 258 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 13: That the tension was so thick you could cut it 259 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 13: with a knife. Now let me be clear and our 260 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 13: understanding of the darkness of Saturday. They went back in 261 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 13: their mind, and they had seen Jesus rebuked deaths before. 262 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 13: He had stopped the widow of Name and touched the 263 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 13: body of her son, just by touching the casket, and 264 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 13: the boy sat. 265 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 9: Up and walked. 266 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,159 Speaker 13: He had gone in and laid it and spoke to 267 00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 13: a dead girl and said tonight, thought come I and 268 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 13: she had gotten up and started moving again and walking again. 269 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,640 Speaker 13: They had seen Jesus defeat death. He had walked down 270 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 13: to the tomb of Lazarus, and stood outside the tomb 271 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 13: and said, Lazar, come forth. They had seen Jesus raise 272 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 13: other people, but now the one who raised other people 273 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 13: from the dead had died himself, and they felt hopeless, 274 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 13: like some of you might feel hopeless right now. They 275 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:29,159 Speaker 13: felt lifeless and faithless and fearful and nervous and upset. 276 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 13: All Saturday long, all Saturday night, they felt the same way. 277 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,159 Speaker 13: But early Sunday morning, before the dew had settled on 278 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 13: the roads, This early Sunday morning, before the sun had 279 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 13: fully peaked his eye above the mountainous terrain surrounding Jerusalem. 280 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 13: Early Sunday morning, when the women rose up early to 281 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,640 Speaker 13: go down to dress the body and to add some frank, 282 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 13: consinse and merc so that the stench of his death 283 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 13: did not embarrass the legacy of his memory. 284 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,120 Speaker 9: Early Sunday morning they got a shocker. 285 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 13: The stone had been rolled back, the grave was empty, 286 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 13: the death napkin had been folded. You see, there is 287 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 13: a distinction between this moment from any other moment that 288 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 13: we talked about before. Yes, there were people all through 289 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 13: the Old Testament that had been raised from the dead, 290 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 13: but they all rose to die again. But Jesus rose 291 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 13: up to never die again. And the question hurled and 292 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 13: out of the mouth of the angel, why see keep 293 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 13: the living amongst the dead? 294 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 9: For he is risen. He is not here. 295 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 13: He has risen above what everybody said about him. He 296 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 13: has risen about what everybody doubted in him. He has 297 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 13: risen above every scandal and every ostracization that had been 298 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 13: applied to it. He has risen above the expectations of 299 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 13: even his followers. He has risen above the powers of 300 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 13: the Roman empower. He has risen above the reach of 301 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 13: the sand hepron court. He has risen above the Pharisees 302 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,639 Speaker 13: and the Sadducees. He has risen above death, hell and 303 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,880 Speaker 13: the grave. He has snatched the sting out of death, 304 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 13: the victory out of the grave. 305 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 9: And he has risen with. 306 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 13: All power in his hand. That's what it means to 307 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 13: start talking about the resurrection of the Lord. It is 308 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 13: not that we don't go down. It is not that 309 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,639 Speaker 13: it does not get dark. It is not that it 310 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 13: doesn't get deep and confusing and complexity. It is not 311 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 13: that we don't have pain and that we don't have fear, 312 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 13: And sometimes we must admit that we do have none. 313 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 13: But what the resurrection is all about is that God 314 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 13: does not need our stress to do what he said 315 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 13: he is going to do. He is not a man 316 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 13: that he should lie, or the son of man that 317 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 13: he should repent. If God said he's gonna get up, 318 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 13: he's going to get up. And if God said you're 319 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,640 Speaker 13: gonna get up, you're gonna get up. And if God 320 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 13: said you're gonna be an overcomer, You're gonna be an overcomer. 321 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 9: Because he rolls from. 322 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 13: The dead with all power in his hands, and the 323 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 13: angels began to see, and heaven began to rejoice, and 324 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 13: the glory began to fall. Because he that was dead 325 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 13: is alive forevermore. 326 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 9: He lives. 327 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:55,439 Speaker 4: He lives. 328 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 9: We serve and absolutely risen. 329 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,640 Speaker 13: Savior, not a defeated fold, a feeling nailed to a tree, 330 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 13: not a scandalous individual that's ostracized by his community. But 331 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 13: we are serving a risen lord, a roaring lion from 332 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,160 Speaker 13: the tribe of Judah, the seed of Abraham, the bright 333 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,440 Speaker 13: of morning Star, the lily of the valley. He got 334 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,159 Speaker 13: up with all power in his hand. No wonder this 335 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 13: horb is said, We've been made endure for a night, 336 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 13: But if you can take a tough night, I've got 337 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:28,639 Speaker 13: news for your joy.

Welcome to. 346 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 4: Graham. 347 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 6: What a level of influence he had, undoubtedly the most 348 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 6: well known preacher in America's history. So it's only fitting 349 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 6: that we do here on the show something I enjoy 350 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 6: doing in my free time, going back and listening to 351 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 6: a few of his timeless sermons about the death and 352 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 6: resurrection of Jesus Christ. On this good Friday before Easter Sunday. 353 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 6: Let's start with the real message of it all, Reverend 354 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,400 Speaker 6: Billy Graham proclaiming that Jesus is alive. 355 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,959 Speaker 10: You know, they only brought three charges against him. 356 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 9: To crucify. 357 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:54,920 Speaker 10: One, they said, this man loves sinners. The second he 358 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 10: healed on the Sabbath day I'm the third. 359 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 9: He claimed to be the son of God. Did ever 360 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 9: a man die like Jesus. 361 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 10: They first took long leather thorns with steel pellets or 362 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 10: let pellets on the end and beat him across the 363 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 10: back until he could hardly stand down. 364 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 9: Then they put a crown of thorns on his brow, 365 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 9: and his face was bleeding. 366 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 10: And he dragged and lifted and haul that cross, And 367 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 10: then on the cross he said, my God, wife out 368 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:33,400 Speaker 10: forsaking me. And then he dropped his head and said 369 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:34,120 Speaker 10: it's finished. 370 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:35,200 Speaker 9: Yes. 371 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,439 Speaker 10: They laid him away in a tomb, and when they 372 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 10: went out to the tomb that morning, they heard the 373 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 10: greatest news the world is even known. He is not here. 374 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 4: He has risen. 375 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 7: He's alive, he is not here. 376 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:58,119 Speaker 10: To God hold him. He had looked at the green. 377 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,880 Speaker 10: That's the n is the world has never heard. 378 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:04,440 Speaker 7: He's a living stamen. 379 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 9: He's alive. 380 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 6: That is powerful stuff right there. As my pastor used 381 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 6: to say growing up, that's the good news. The next 382 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 6: one that we pulled because we literally could have handed 383 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 6: the show over to several hours of Billy Graham preaching, 384 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:27,680 Speaker 6: is Billy Graham preaching that the Lord has risen. 385 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,159 Speaker 9: Yes, Jesus Christ is alive. 386 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,639 Speaker 10: He rose from the dead. And that day, that Easter, 387 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 10: Sunday morning, that first Easter, when Mary and Mary Magdalene 388 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:43,399 Speaker 10: and Saloon went to the grave, expecting to annoy a 389 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 10: dead body, they saw the angel sitting back, and they said, 390 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 10: where is Jesus. 391 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,879 Speaker 9: The angel said, he is not here. He has risen. 392 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 10: I submit to you tonight that that's the greatest news 393 00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 10: the world has ever heard. 394 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 9: He is not here, he has conquered the grave. He's alive. 395 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 10: And ladies and gentlemen, I believe that there's more proof 396 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 10: that Jesus Christ rose from the dead than almost any 397 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 10: other fact in Roman history. I don't believe there's a 398 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 10: fact in ancient history today so well proven as the 399 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 10: resurrection of Jesus Christ. But even if there was no proof, 400 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 10: no historical proof, no scientific proof, and there is, I 401 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 10: would still believe it because I believe this book is 402 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:40,639 Speaker 10: God's inspired words. And the whole early Church went up 403 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 10: and down the country printing the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. 404 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 10: That was the thing that shook the Roman Empire, that 405 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 10: a man had risen from the dead, that he was alive, 406 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 10: that death could not hold him. Christ is alive, he's 407 00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:58,440 Speaker 10: a living savior. 408 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 6: As I said, we could have devoted the show to 409 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,880 Speaker 6: Billy Graham Hermans on Easter and it would have been wonderful. 410 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 6: We chose not to do that, But we do finish 411 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:15,119 Speaker 6: up our Billy Graham segment with the Great Reverend and 412 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 6: reconciliation with Heaven through the Cross. 413 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 10: The only way that Earth can ever find reconciliation with Heaven. 414 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 10: It's by way of the cross. The only way that 415 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,440 Speaker 10: you can ever get to Heaven. It's by way of 416 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,720 Speaker 10: the Cross. And if Jesus Christ had not gone to 417 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 10: the cross, you could have never had sin forgiven, you 418 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 10: could have never gone to Heaven, and the problems of 419 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 10: earth would have never had a solution. Only by the 420 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 10: way of the Cross can we find our way back 421 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 10: to God. And that's why it was important that Jesus 422 00:28:55,520 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 10: stay on the cross, because you see, man is in 423 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 10: rebellion against God. 424 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 9: Adam and Eve rebelled in the. 425 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 10: Garden of Eden, and every man since Adam and Eve 426 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 10: has broken God's law and sinned against God. And as 427 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 10: a result of that, God and man are separated, and 428 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 10: man's only way back to God is through Jesus Christ. 429 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 10: Man had broken the law man deserved death, he deserved judgment, 430 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 10: he deserved hell. But God said, wait a minute, I'll 431 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 10: give my son. I'll let him die. I'll let him 432 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 10: take the judgment and the hell for you. And if 433 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 10: you will put your trust and your faith in my son, 434 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 10: I will forgive your sin. I will change your life. 435 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 10: I will give you an inner peace and joy and 436 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 10: satisfaction that you would never find in any other way. 437 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 10: So Jesus was dying on that cross for your sins, 438 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 10: and your sins, some people say, why don't you try 439 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:11,960 Speaker 10: to make your gospel relevant? The most relevant message in 440 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 10: the world tonight is the fact that Christ died for you. 441 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,240 Speaker 9: He died in your place. 442 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 10: He shed his blood for you, and without that experience, 443 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 10: no one can get to heaven. Yes, Jesus Christ died, 444 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 10: and the people laughed and sneered. And two people that 445 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 10: sneered and laughed the most were these two thieves and 446 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 10: murderers that were dying with him. They were both mocking him, 447 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 10: but one of them became strangely silent, And finally this 448 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 10: one that was silent turned and rebuked the other thief, 449 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 10: the are the murderer, and said, we're dying justly. We 450 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:10,400 Speaker 10: deserve to be crucified, But not this man in the middle. 451 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 9: He's a good man. 452 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 10: He's the son of God. Then he turned to it 453 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:23,480 Speaker 10: and asked him what seemed to be an improbable, unimpossible question. 454 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 10: He said, remember me when thou comest into my kingdom? 455 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 9: Will you remember me? 456 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 4: Lord? 457 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 10: And then Jesus jave one of the most astounding answers 458 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 10: in the history of the world. The angels in heaven 459 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 10: must have been shaken and startled and amazed when they 460 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:58,640 Speaker 10: heard what Jesus. Jesus said today today, thou shalt be 461 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 10: with me in Paradise.
