00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 5: Joel and I were at a restaurant having a lovely

32
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 5: dinner one evening. We had been sitting there for a

33
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 5: while chatting, but we were ready to go, so we

34
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 5: called the waiter over to asking for our check and

35
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 5: he said, oh, I'm sorry, I should have been over

36
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 5: here earlier. He said, there was a man in the

37
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 5: corner booth right there, and he already paid your bill.

38
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 5: He paid the hip and all. He said, you guys

39
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 5: are free to go. Joel and Ill looked at each

40
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 5: other and we thought, man, that's awesome. That's good news.

41
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 5: Somebody paid our bill. But can I tell you today

42
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 5: there's a man who has already paid your bill. He's

43
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 5: already canceled your debt. It is paid in full. And

44
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 5: his name is Jesus Christ. See, we've been talking about

45
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 5: it all day. It's the Eastern message. It is finished,

46
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 5: it is done. He has already created you in his righteousness.

47
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 5: When you are found in him, he has given you

48
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 5: the power of the resurrection. Joel quoted it earlier. The

49
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 5: same power that raised him from the dead is alive

50
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 5: in you.

51
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 6: You see, you've got resurrection power.

52
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 5: God has given you mercy and grace so that you

53
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 5: can go in this resurrected life. You are free to go.

54
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 5: How do we live this resurrected life. We don't want

55
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 5: to just talk about it. We don't want to just

56
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 5: come in here on Easter and say, yes, Jesus is alive.

57
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 5: We want to live the life that he died to

58
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 5: give us. We want everything that Jesus died to give us.

59
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 5: Can you imagine if you did something for someone, you

60
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 5: labored for someone, You gave it you're all, and they

61
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 5: weren't interested. You See, Jesus gave it his all because

62
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 5: he wanted me and you.

63
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 6: He wanted us to be interested. He wanted us to

64
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 6: walk in power. So we have to.

65
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 5: Take hold of everything that he took hold for us.

66
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 5: The apostle Paul said in Philippians, he said, I press

67
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 5: on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus

68
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 5: took hold for me.

69
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 6: He said, I have to press you.

70
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 5: See, sometimes it's hard to take hold of the things

71
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 5: that are right there in front of you, because there

72
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 5: are some things that are trying to distract you. There

73
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 5: are some things that are trying to act more powerful

74
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 5: than what is right there in front of you. Have

75
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 5: you ever known what to do but you didn't do it?

76
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 6: You just didn't do it.

77
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 5: Aren't you glad you're forgiven? Aren't you glad that Jesus

78
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 5: gives us second chances. See, there's a pressing, there's a

79
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 5: fight of good, fight of faith that's involved. Paul said,

80
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 5: I'm not looking back, he says, I'm pressing forward. You know,

81
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 5: Paul killed Christians before he gave his heart to Christ,

82
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,799
Speaker 5: before he had that Damascus moment when he was blinded

83
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 5: and shown.

84
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 6: The resurrection of Jesus.

85
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 5: Can you imagine the guilt that he had to face

86
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 5: when he was coming to these Christian believers and trying

87
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 5: to speak the gospel to them.

88
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 6: Can you imagine what that felt like.

89
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 5: Have you ever heard like in your mind like something

90
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 5: to saying that you can't tell somebody about this because

91
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 5: you've made mistakes. You can't share the gospel, You're not

92
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 5: good enough. Who says you can do that? Can you

93
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 5: imagine that Paul had to press and he had to say,

94
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 5: I'm not settling, I'm not stopping, I'm not looking back.

95
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 6: I got a call on my life.

96
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 5: I'm gonna take hold of everything Christ took hold from me,

97
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 5: and I'm moving forward. You see, that's what you and

98
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 5: I are gonna have to do. We're gonna have to

99
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 5: do some pressing. We're gonna have to say, there's some

100
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 5: things out there that Jesus did for me, and I'm

101
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 5: not letting anything stop me. Paul, he didn't let a

102
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 5: shipwreck stop him. He didn't let prison stop him. He

103
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 5: let nothing stop him. In fact, when he was in prison,

104
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 5: can you imagine he said, I'm writing this down so

105
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 5: the generations to come can read it. They can hear

106
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 5: what the Lord Jesus did for them. They can hear

107
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 5: how to live, they can partake of this. See, in prison,

108
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 5: he pressed on because he had resurrection power. On the

109
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 5: inside of him. You see, he left a legacy on

110
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 5: this earth. And when you and I take hold of

111
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 5: the things Christ has taken hold for us, it is

112
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 5: our turn. We too can leave a legacy to our families.

113
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 5: We can make this earth a better place. Hey, don't

114
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 5: let the hard stuff stop you. Press on. Jesus is

115
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 5: there to help you. His blood is full of power.

116
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 5: He's taken away the shame. He's taken away the guilt.

117
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 5: If you don't like your past, hey, you can rewrite

118
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 5: your future. Don't worry about it. He has set you

119
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 5: free to go and live this resurrected life.

120
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 6: When Jesus walked.

121
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,359
Speaker 5: The earth, it wasn't easy for him. He didn't stop short.

122
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 5: He didn't say I'm not interested anymore. He didn't say

123
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 5: this is too hard.

124
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 6: Listen. He was beaten, he was bruised, he was spit on.

125
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 6: It wasn't good.

126
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 5: He was denied, he was hung on a cross to die.

127
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 6: It wasn't good. It was hard. But on that third day,

128
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 6: when he came.

129
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 5: Out of that grave, just like he said he would, Hey,

130
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 5: he turned that whole thing around, and guess what it

131
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 5: was good? Can I tell you his plan worked? And

132
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 5: his plan is still working in your life. He can

133
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 5: turn around what's not good and make it work for

134
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 5: your good. You see, it says in Jeremiah twenty nine

135
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 5: to eleven. This is what God spoke through the prophet Jeremiah.

136
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 5: He said, I know the plans I have for you,

137
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 5: declares the Lord. Their plans to pross for you, not

138
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 5: to harm you, their plans to give you a future

139
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 5: and a hope. And he went on to say, call

140
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 5: upon me. If you seek me, you will find me.

141
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 5: You see, his plan was to reconcile our life to his.

142
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 5: His plan was to break down that dividing wall between

143
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 5: us and God so that we could call upon him,

144
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 5: so that He would answer us and show us great

145
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 5: and mighty things. But sometimes we stop short because it's difficult.

146
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 5: But can I tell you God can change those difficult

147
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 5: things in your life if you'll press on and take

148
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 5: hold of all Jesus did for you. You know, sometimes

149
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 5: we think we have to pay God back, But can

150
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 5: I tell you there's nothing that you can do to

151
00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 5: pay God back for giving his only begoden so for you,

152
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 5: He exchanged death, your death for his death. Now you

153
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 5: can live in eternity forever and ever.

154
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 6: With the Father.

155
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 5: See, he didn't come just for eternal purposes. He came

156
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 5: down to empower you right here on earth. We think

157
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 5: we can pay God back, but we could never pay

158
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 5: him back for what he's done for us.

159
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 6: You know, he didn't die to make us religious. He

160
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 6: didn't die so that.

161
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 5: We could have religious ceremonies, that we could do this,

162
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 5: that we could keep this strict war. He died because

163
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 5: he wanted a relationship with us. That's what this death,

164
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 5: burial and resurrection is about today. That's why he said,

165
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 5: my plans are good for you. They're to prosper you,

166
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:55,839
Speaker 5: not to harm you.

167
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 6: Call upon me.

168
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 5: It's an invitation to say, my plan worked on the

169
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 5: Cross and it's still working in.

170
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 6: Your life today.

171
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 5: I love what the psalm as David said in saw

172
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:12,199
Speaker 5: On one sixteen. He said, what shall I render unto

173
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 5: the Lord for all the benefits that he has given me?

174
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 5: He was saying, what can I give back to God

175
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 5: for everything that He's done for me?

176
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 6: He was prophesying the resurrection and what.

177
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 5: Jesus would do, And this was his answer, I will

178
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 5: take up the cup of my salvation.

179
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 6: And call upon his name. What can I give? What

180
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 6: I can give is to take what he's done for

181
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 6: me and call upon his name. See we think.

182
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 5: We have the price to pay, but Jesus has already

183
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 5: paid the price.

184
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 6: All we have to do is take hold of it.

185
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 5: Listen when guilt, when condemnation comes knocking at your door,

186
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 5: when failure says you can't go on, You've made a man.

187
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 5: When things don't look good, I want you to know

188
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 5: his plan is still working in your life, and he

189
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 5: can take what doesn't look good and turn it around

190
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 5: and use it for your good. Amen, call upon his name.

191
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:17,520
