Have you ever watched 38 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 4: a movie or a show and you'd seen it before 39 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 4: you knew the end of the story. Maybe you were 40 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 4: watching it with a friend and they knew they didn't 41 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 4: know the end of the story, but you did so 42 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 4: when all the suspenseful parts were coming, you weren't anxious 43 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 4: or concerned because you knew the end of the story. 44 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 4: You see, today, you and I are living in the 45 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,359 Speaker 4: end of the resurrection story. See, we know what happened 46 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 4: the day that Jesus died. We know what happened. When 47 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 4: he was buried, he rose again. We're living at the 48 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 4: end of the story. But see, two thousand years ago 49 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,079 Speaker 4: there was disciples and followers of Jesus that were actually 50 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 4: living in the story. They didn't know what was going 51 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 4: to happen. You know, the interesting thing about a story. 52 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 4: When you're watching it, that's one thing, But when it's 53 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 4: happening to your own life, that's an entirely different thing. 54 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 4: You see, when it's happening to you and you face 55 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 4: difficulties and challenges and suspenseful plots, it's difficult. You can't 56 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 4: always remember the end the story. You can't always remember 57 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,639 Speaker 4: what has been promised. See today, I want to talk 58 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 4: about a band of women, one being Mary Magdalene, Mary 59 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 4: the mother of James, and a few others. You see, 60 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,399 Speaker 4: they they were living the story two thousand years ago. 61 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 4: In fact, they saw Jesus as he walked the earth. 62 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 4: They saw him do tremendous miracles. They saw him open 63 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 4: blind eyes and death ears. In fact, Mary Magdalene her 64 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 4: life was completely changed, radically changed by Jesus. She had 65 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 4: a miserable life. The Bible says that she was full 66 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 4: of darkness, but Jesus touched her and she became full 67 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 4: of life. See, she was living the story of this 68 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 4: grand savior, Jesus. But she also lived the story of 69 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 4: his death. She walked through the story when he hung 70 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 4: on the cross. She saw him as he died slowly 71 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 4: on that cross. She saw when they took him down 72 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 4: and Joseph asked for his body so that he could 73 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 4: wrap him in linen and take him to a tomb. 74 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 4: And that tone was seal that day with a huge, 75 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 4: huge stone. She saw it all. And as Jesus lay 76 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:24,039 Speaker 4: in that tone, her hopes, her dreams lay there with him. 77 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,359 Speaker 4: You see, she saw it all. She was living in 78 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 4: the story. One day after the Sabbath, she woke up 79 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 4: early in the morning, the Bible says, the sun had 80 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 4: just come up, and she in that band of women. 81 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 4: They gathered spices. They wanted to anoint Jesus's body one 82 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 4: last time. They were on their way to the tomb. 83 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 4: I can imagine it was still misty in the air, 84 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 4: that was still dew on the grass. They had all 85 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 4: their stuff, They knew their assignment, they knew what their 86 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 4: heart was beating for. And they were on their way. 87 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 4: But on that path to the Tone. They remembered something. 88 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 4: They remembered the large stone that sealed the entrance of 89 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 4: that tomb, and they began talking among themselves about that 90 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 4: big obstacle. They began thinking, how in the world are 91 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 4: we going to move that stone? The Bible says in 92 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:24,039 Speaker 4: Mark sixteen fourth, they set among themselves, who will help 93 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 4: us roll away the stone? You see, that stone represented 94 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 4: a block to them. As long as that stone was there, 95 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 4: they couldn't enter the tomb and anoint the body of Jesus. 96 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 4: That stone was too big for them to move themselves. 97 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 4: Have you ever felt that way before? Has something ever 98 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 4: blocked your life? Maybe you've heard your own self saying, 99 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 4: who's going to help me move this thing? Have you 100 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,719 Speaker 4: ever had a block in your life? Maybe you wanted 101 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 4: to start a new business, but you kept hitting obstacles, 102 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 4: draining your resources. Maybe you had a stone of an 103 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 4: unwanted divorce, a stone of a bad medical report, stone 104 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 4: of fear, stone of debt. See those stones they're real. 105 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 4: They come in different shapes and different sizes. Maybe the 106 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 4: stone you're not facing you're facing today, is not as 107 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 4: big as the one of the Tone. Maybe it is, 108 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 4: But can I tell you it's a stone that wants 109 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 4: to block you. It's real. They come in different shapes, 110 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 4: they come in different sizes. But you know what the 111 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 4: purpose is. The purpose is to stop us. The purpose 112 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 4: is to trap us thinking that will never overcome that stone. 113 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 4: It's too big, the challenge is too hard. We might 114 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,359 Speaker 4: as well quit now. You know what I loved about 115 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 4: Mary and Martha. Mary and Mary was the fact that 116 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 4: when they remembered the stone, they didn't stop. They kept going. 117 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 4: And when they got to the tomb, the Bible says 118 00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 4: that they looked up and they were so surprised the 119 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 4: stone had been rolled away. The stone was not blocking 120 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,239 Speaker 4: the tomb anymore. The obstacle that was trying to defeat 121 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 4: them had been rolled away. Think about that just a minute. 122 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 4: What they were worried about, what was there is now gone. 123 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 4: Mary walked into the tomb and saw the angel, and 124 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 4: the angel declared to her, are you looking for Jesus? 125 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 4: He's not here. He's risen. He's risen. You see, the 126 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 4: problem that she was facing that day was met with 127 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 4: the promise, the promise of the resurrection. As soon as 128 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 4: the angel told her he's not here, he's risen, the 129 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 4: Bible says that she was reminded of the promises of Jesus. 130 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 4: He said, I'll rise again. He said the temple will 131 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 4: be built back in three days. See when she heard it, 132 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 4: she remembered the promise. Sometimes when you're walking through a 133 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 4: difficult situation and there's obstacles in your path, it's hard 134 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 4: to remember those resurrection promises. But can I tell you today, 135 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 4: stones are meant to stop you. Sometimes there are stones 136 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 4: in reality that you cannot move on your own. They 137 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 4: are impossible, they're out of your control. But can I 138 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 4: tell you today that Jesus is alive and he's still 139 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 4: rolling away the stones. He's still moving stones in your life. 140 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:41,439 Speaker 4: It was Easter Sunday and Mary didn't even know it. 141 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,839 Speaker 4: I hope this is each Easter Sunday makes you take 142 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,559 Speaker 4: a look at those blocks in your life, those stones, 143 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 4: those things that are trying to weigh you down, cause 144 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 4: fear and anxiety, those things that would like to stop 145 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 4: you from fulfilling your destiny. I hope you look at 146 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 4: those stones differently, and next time you run into one 147 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 4: of those things, I hope you look at it and 148 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 4: you say, he has risen and I will stand on 149 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 4: the resurrection promises of the Lord Jesus Christ. If you 150 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 4: are facing the stone of discouragement today, I want to 151 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 4: remind you that he kills the broken heart and he 152 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 4: binds up their wounds. If you're looking at the stone 153 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 4: a fear today, I want to remind you what the 154 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 4: promise that says. It says that I have not given 155 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 4: you a spirit of fear, but of power, love and 156 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 4: a sound mind. Do you know with every stone there's 157 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 4: a promise. Just like that day that Mary walked to 158 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 4: that tomb, that problem was resolved by the promise of 159 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 4: the resurrection. Know today, whatever you're facing, there's a promise 160 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 4: to help you overcome. There's a promise to strengthen you. 161 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,199 Speaker 4: He still heals, he still delivers, and he still sets 162 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:05,959 Speaker 4: free today by the power of the resurrection. But it's 163 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 4: up to us to remember the power of the resurrection 164 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,559 Speaker 4: and the promises that He made to us and attached 165 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 4: the promise to it. A friend of mine the other 166 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 4: day was working on a project and she was so 167 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 4: excited about the end result.
