Have you ever watched 40 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 4: a movie or a show and you'd seen it before 41 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 4: you knew the end of the story. Maybe you were 42 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 4: watching it with a friend and they knew They didn't 43 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 4: know the end of the story, but you did so 44 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 4: when all the suspenseful parts were coming, you weren't anxious 45 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 4: or concerned because you knew the end of the story. 46 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 4: You see today, you and I are living in the 47 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 4: end of the resurrection story. See, we know what happened 48 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 4: the day that Jesus died. We know what happened when 49 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:24,359 Speaker 4: he was buried, he rose again. We're living at the 50 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 4: end of the story. But see, two thousand years ago 51 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 4: there was disciples and followers of Jesus that were actually 52 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 4: living in the story. They didn't know what was going 53 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,079 Speaker 4: to happen. You know, the interesting thing about a story. 54 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,399 Speaker 4: When you're watching it, that's one thing, But when it's 55 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,959 Speaker 4: happening to your own life, that's an entirely different thing. 56 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 4: You See, when it's happening to you and you face 57 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 4: difficulties and challenges and suspenseful plots, it's difficult. You can't 58 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 4: always remember the end of the story. You can't always 59 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 4: remember what has been promised. See today, I want to 60 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 4: talk about a band of women, one being Mary Magdalene, 61 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 4: Mary the mother of James, and a few others. You see, 62 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 4: they were living the story two thousand years ago. In fact, 63 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 4: they saw Jesus as he walked the earth. They saw 64 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 4: him do tremendous miracles. They saw him open blind eyes 65 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 4: and deaf ears in fact, Mary Magdalene, her life was 66 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 4: completely changed, radically changed by Jesus. She had a miserable life. 67 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 4: The Bible says that she was full of darkness, but 68 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 4: Jesus touched her and she became full of life. See, 69 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 4: she was living the story of this grand savior, Jesus. 70 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 4: But she also lived the story of his death. She 71 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 4: walked through the story when he hung on the cross, 72 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 4: saw him as he died slowly on that cross. She 73 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 4: saw when they took him down and Joseph asked for 74 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 4: his body so that he could wrap him in linen 75 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 4: and take him to a tomb. And that tone was 76 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 4: seal that day with a huge, huge stone. She saw 77 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 4: it all. And as Jesus lay in that tone, her hopes, 78 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 4: her dreams lay there with him. You see, she saw 79 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 4: it all. She was living in the story. One day 80 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 4: after the Sabbath, she woke up early in the morning. 81 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 4: The Bible says the sun had just come up, and 82 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 4: she in that band of women. They gathered spices. They 83 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 4: wanted to anoint Jesus's body one last time. They were 84 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 4: on their way to the tomb. I can imagine it 85 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 4: was still misty in the air, that was still dew 86 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 4: on the grass. They had all their stuff, They knew 87 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 4: their assignment, they knew what their heart was beating for, 88 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 4: and they were on their way that path to the tone. 89 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:07,679 Speaker 4: They remembered something. They remembered the large stone that sealed 90 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 4: the entrance of that tomb. And they began talking among 91 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 4: themselves about that big obstacle. They began thinking, how in 92 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 4: the world are we going to move that stone? The 93 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 4: Bible says in Mark sixteen fourth they set among themselves, 94 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 4: who will help us roll away the stone? You see, 95 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 4: that stone represented a block to them. As long as 96 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 4: that stone was there, they couldn't enter the tomb and 97 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:40,559 Speaker 4: anoint the body of Jesus. That stone was too big 98 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 4: for them to move themselves. Have you ever felt that 99 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 4: way before? Has something ever blocked your life? Maybe you've 100 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 4: heard your own self saying, who's going to help me 101 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 4: move this thing? Have you ever had a block in 102 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 4: your life? Maybe you wanted to start a new business, 103 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 4: but you kept hitting obstacles draining yours Maybe you had 104 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 4: a stone of an unwanted divorce, a stone of a 105 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 4: bad medical report, stone of fear, stone of debt. See 106 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 4: those stones they're real. They come in different shapes and 107 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 4: different sizes. Maybe the stone you're not facing you're facing 108 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 4: today is not as big as the one at the tone. 109 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 4: Maybe it is, But can I tell you it's a 110 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,359 Speaker 4: it's a stone that wants to block you. It's real. 111 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 4: They come in different shapes, they come in different sizes. 112 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 4: But you know what the purpose is, the purpose is 113 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 4: to stop us. The purpose is to trap us thinking 114 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 4: that will never overcome that stone. It's too big, the 115 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,039 Speaker 4: challenge is too hard. We might as well quit now. 116 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 4: You know what I loved about Mary and Martha. Mary 117 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,919 Speaker 4: and Mary was the fact that when they remembered the stone, 118 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 4: they didn't stop. They kept going. And when they got 119 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 4: to the tomb, the Bible says that they looked up 120 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 4: and they were so surprised the stone had been rolled away. 121 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 4: The stone was not blocking the tomb anymore. The obstacle 122 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 4: that was trying to defeat them had been rolled away. 123 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 4: Think about that just a minute. What they were worried about, 124 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 4: what was there is now gone. Mary walked into the 125 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 4: tomb and saw the angel, and the angel declared to her, 126 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 4: are you looking for Jesus? He's not here. He's risen. 127 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 4: He's risen. You see the problem that she was facing 128 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 4: that day was met with the promise, the promise of 129 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 4: the resurrection. As soon as the angel told her he's 130 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 4: not here, he's risen. The Bible says that she was 131 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 4: reminded of the promises of Jesus. He said, I'll rise again. 132 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 4: He said the temple will be built back in three days. 133 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 4: See when she heard it, she remembered the promise. Sometimes 134 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 4: when you're walking through a difficult situation and there's obstacles 135 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 4: in your path, it's hard to remember those resurrection promises. 136 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 4: But can I tell you today, stones are meant to 137 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 4: stop you. Sometimes there are stones in reality that you 138 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 4: cannot move on your own. They are impossible, they're out 139 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 4: of your control. But can I tell you today that 140 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 4: Jesus is alive and he's still rolling away the stones. 141 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:38,439 Speaker 4: He's still moving stones in your life. It was Easter 142 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 4: Sunday and Mary didn't even know it. I hope this 143 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 4: is each Easter Sunday makes you take a look at 144 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 4: those blocks in your life, those stones, those things that 145 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 4: are trying to weigh you down, cause fear and anxiety, 146 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 4: those things that would like to stop you from fulfilling 147 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,959 Speaker 4: your destiny. I hope you look at those stones different, 148 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 4: and next time you run into one of those things, 149 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 4: I hope you look at it and you say, he 150 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 4: has risen and I will stand on the resurrection promises 151 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 4: of the Lord Jesus Christ. If you are facing the 152 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 4: stone of discouragement today, I want to remind you that 153 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,199 Speaker 4: he KALs the broken heart and he binds up their wounds. 154 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 4: If you're looking at the stone a fear today, I 155 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 4: want to remind you what the promise that says. It 156 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 4: says that I have not given you a spirit of fear, 157 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 4: but of power, love and a sound mind. Do you 158 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 4: know with every stone there's a promise. Just like that 159 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 4: day that Mary walked to that Tombe, that problem was 160 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 4: resolved by the promise of the resurrection. Know today, whatever 161 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 4: you're facing, there's a promise to help you overcome. There's 162 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 4: a promise to strengthen you. He still heals, he still delivers, 163 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 4: and he still sets free today by the power of 164 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 4: the resurrection. But it's up to us to remember the 165 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 4: power of the resurrection and the promises that He made 166 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,319 Speaker 4: to us and attached the promise to it. A friend 167 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 4: of mine the other day was working on a project 168 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 4: and she was so excited about the end result.
