• 5:23
  Speaker 1: our Savior. Father. Again we stretch hands to thee no

  Speaker 1: other help. We know you are the True You are

  Speaker 1: the Living God, You are the Hope of glory. You
• 5:32

  Speaker 1: king of saints, soon coming King in the name of Jesus.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: We pray and give thanks. Amen and Amen. All right.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: The Gospel of John chapter number twenty. As we have
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: been in this great Gospel account of the apostle John,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: we see a man in our past few episodes, of course,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: that Jesus has now surrendered himself over to be crucified.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: He has been tried by the Sanhedrin, stood before the
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: High Priest, turned over to Pontius Pilot the Roman government
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: for crucifixion. Just as the scriptures had already prophesied, Jesus
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: came and fulfilled all of the prophecies concerning him concerning
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: this death. But now, Amen, after he has fulfilled this
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: a man death that was predetermined by God, a man
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: in the Godhead before the foundation of the world. By
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: the way Jesus now in the grave, Amen, we know,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: of course death had no power over him. And by
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: the way he descended into the lower parts of the
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: earth and took the keys of death, hell and the grave.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: We don't have time and won't take the time, brother,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: to go into all of that. But nevertheless, in his death, Amen.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: And before his death, by the way, he told his
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: disciples that he would be returning the Son of Man,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: just as it was with the prophet Jonah, who was
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: three days three nights in that Amen, great fish that
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: swallowed him up. Son of Man would go into the
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: heart of the earth. But he says, I will rise again.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Death has no power over me. I have the power
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: to lay my life down. I have the power to
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: take it up again. Amen. He did all of this willingly.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Why without the shedding of blood, there is no remission
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: of sins. Amen. The blood of bulls and goats could
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: not take away sin. Only the untainted, purified sinless. Amen.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Blood of Jesus Christ could atone could wash away, could
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: remove Amen, the stain and the guilt of our sin. Amen,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Pay the debt, Pay the prist that we owe that
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: we could not pay. Only only Jesus could do it. Amen.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: All right. So now Jesus, of course laid in the grave,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: has now risen from the dead, and he makes his appearance.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: But first of all, before the disciples see Jesus, there
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: were women who came to the sepulcher to a man
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: anoint the body of Jesus, and so forth and so on.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: But when they arrived, he was not there. He was
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: not there. But Jesus a man, came back and made
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: an appearance to Mary Mary Magdalen a man, and gave
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: her instructions to go to his disciples, to let them
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: know that he was alive, and that he would see
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: them shortly. So we pick it up now in verse
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: number eighteen of the Gospel of John, chapter number twenty.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: unto her. Then the same day, at evening, being the
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: first day of the week, when the doors were shut,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: came Jesus and stood in the midst and said unto them,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: peace be unto you. And when he had so said,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: he showed unto them his hands and his side. What
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: is the significance of that? Of course you know he
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: was pierced through his hands with the spike that partly
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: held him to the cross. And of course he was
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: thrust through in the side a man by a soldier.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: When the Bible testifies of this, out came that blood
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: and water a man. So he showed them the place
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: a man of that spear that was thrust in his side.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: He showed them his hands where they drove those spikes
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: through his flesh, nailing him to the cross. And so
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: the Bible says, a man when he showed this to them.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Then were the disciples glad when they saw the Lord.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Then said Jesus to them again, very significant, peace, be
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: unto you, as my Father has sent me, even so
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: send I you. And when he had said this, he
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: breathed on them and said, unto them, receive ye the
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Holy Ghost Peace. When Jesus speaks peace. The ultimate protect
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, Church of the Living people of God.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: The ultimate protection for any man and all men is
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: to have the peace of God, to have peace with God.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: That peace, ladies and gentlemen, comes to man by Jesus
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: the Christ. Sin and rebellion separated us from our maker,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: from our creator, from the one who made us in
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: his image and in his likeness. Sin and rebellion separated
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: and created a great chasm, a great divide between God
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: and man. We became enemies of God by nature. Amen.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: But this is why again Christ came and died. He
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: came and died not for people who were loving him,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: accepting of him, receiving of him. No, he came for enemies,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: to turn enemies into friends. Amen. And so Amen. The
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: sin and rebellion that separated us from our maker, now
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: through the atoning work of Jesus, that chasm has been bridged. Amen,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: and he brought peace and goodwill to man. Now, what
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: troubles our falling world today and on into whatever future
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: times that remain, Amen, is this absence of the peace
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: that comes from God alone through Jesus, the Christ, who,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: by the way the Bible tells us, is the Prince
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: of peace.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: We are living in ultimate delusion, believing that we have
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: the power to create peace without the one, or apart
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: from the One who is the source and supply of peace.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Isaiah nine and six tells us, for unto us a
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: child is born, unto us, a son is given, and
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: the government will be upon his shoulder, and his name
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: shall be called Wonderful counselor Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: of Peace. Ladies and gentlemen, Make no mistake about it.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: We are in a cosmic struggle against the invisible forces
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: of pure evil wickedness. The Bible speaks of them being
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: principalities and powers of the darkness of this world. And
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: that evil, that wickedness, is only being restrained by the
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: mercy and goodness of God, giving sinful mankind grace and
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: space to come to repentance. Because the world has broadly
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: rejected Jesus as the savior. That he'll own is by
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: the way, there can be no peace for wicked wayward
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: man in this world. All men who refuse to come
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: to repentance, there can be no peace, the Bible tells us.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: By the way Isaiah fifty seven to twenty one. There
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: is no peace, says my God for the wicked. The
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: wicked man is to forsake his way. The unrighteous man
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: is to forsake his way of thinking. He is to
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: turn to the Lord, for he will abundantly part than
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: the Bible tells us. So in the death that Jesus died,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: not only did it atone for our sins and our
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: transgressions against God, against his holiness, against his righteousness, against
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: his standard, against his law. But he also in his
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: sacrifice for us, ladies and gentlemen, he brought us peace
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: with God. Romans five and one tells us, therefore, having
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: been justified by faith, when we believe his report, when
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: we believe on him whom he has sent into the
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: world to be the redeemer, who is the Christ. When
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: we believe in the Son of God, when we believe
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: in the name of the only begotten when we believe
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: in his atoning work, when we believe that he is.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: The Bible says, he that cometh to God must believe
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: that he is, because he is a reward of them.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: That what diligently seeking.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: When we believe.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Amen, Amen, by faith and by the way. Again, the
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Bible says, without faith, it is impossible to please God. Amen.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: So having been justified by faith, we look what the
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Bible says Romans five and one. We have peace with
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: God through our Lord Jesus Christ. We who were enemies
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: by nature, we who were separated, Amen from God and
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: our rebellion against him. We now, the Bible says, have
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, Ladies and gentlemen.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: When Jesus rose triumphantly from death from that grave that
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: could not hold him, he proceeded to show himself alive
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: to his disciples, when, as we read in the scriptures,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: he stepped into their midst where the doors were being
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: shut because of the disciples fearing the Jews, and course
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: of course, the course of course they had already seen
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Jesus had been taken and were scrucified, and they, being
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: his followers, you can say, of course, they had good reason,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: perhaps in their mind, to fear that it could possibly
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: happen to them. So they were shut in, locked in Amen,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: for fear of the Jews. That's what the Bible says,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: for fear of the Jews. But what Jesus said to
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: them has great significance even to every one of us
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: to this very day. Peace be unto you. The first words,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: as recorded by the apostle John, the first words that
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Jesus spoke to his disciples when he appeared to them,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: he spoke peace. Peace be unto you. See when Jesus
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: speaks peace, ladies and gentlemen, you will have joy. The
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: disciples were glad. They were glad when they saw Jesus.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: When Jesus speaks peace, you will have rest, You will
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: have hope, you will have power. You will have comfort
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: of the Holy ghosts, the comforter by the way he
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: has come to give us joy, rest, hope, power, quietness, assurance. Amen.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: See see, ladies and gentlemen, when Jesus speaks peace, there
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: is impartation of power from the Prince of Peace. This
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: is a peace the Bible speaks of that surpasses all understanding,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: all human ability to comprehend. It is the power in
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: his peace that gives the saints of God rest, blessed hope,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: blessed assurance, and all of the promises of God. By
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: the way that are yes and Amen to the glory
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: of God. When Jesus speaks peace, the presence of his
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit makes the difference in our lives. Amen from
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: that moment, when we believe, from that moment, when he
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: comes in. From that moment, and he said, what by
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: the way Jesus made this promise? He says, I will
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: be in you a well of order. I will come
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: to you, and I will sup with you. I will
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: never leave you, I'll never forsake you. At the very
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: moment that we receive the Holy Ghost and power, he
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: makes the difference. Until we breathe our last breath on
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: this side of eternity, the Holy ghosts the spirit of
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: the liber That's why Jesus, the Bible tells us in
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: the same passage that we read in John's Gospel, he
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: breathed on them and said, receive ye, the Holy Ghost.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: You can't have peace without the spirit of the Living God.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: You can't have peace without the Holy Ghost being present
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: in you. He is the Holy Spirit, is Christ, Jesus,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: the Hope of glory in you, the Prince of Peace,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: his spirit. Hear it. It's resting in you. When you
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: have the Holy Ghost abiding in you, living in you,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: working in you, he transforms your life. He transforms your outlook,
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: your perspective. Amen. See when Jesus speaks peace, the fear
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: of death is dissipated in our new life that we
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: now have. Amen. The apostles the Bible again tells us
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: they were locked up in a house for fear of
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: their lives, stunned with disbelief, still reeling from their expectations
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: in Jesus, being dashed, not yet fully grasping and believing
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: that Jesus would rise up out of that borrowed the
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: tune by the way. But just as he had told them,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: he was resurrected, and he came to the place, and
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: they rather came to the place of believing every word
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: that he said when they saw him risen. When Jesus
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: came to this place where they were gathered together, he
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: gave to them peace, the peace they so desperately were
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: indeed of. And again, as recorded by the apostle John
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: in the text that we read when Jesus stepped into
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: their presence, when he came through that door by the way,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: the door was shut, the door was locked, the place
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: was secure. Jesus did not need the door, and he
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: didn't need the door open. He is the door opener,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: and he is the door by the way, And in
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: that glorified body, he came right through the wall or
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: the door into their midst, and he spoke those comforting
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: words to their troubled souls. Peace be unto you again.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: When Jesus speaks peace, there will be peace. You asked,
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: as ask ask us, we can get a few witnesses.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Ask of the raging, troubled waters of the Sea of
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Galilee that obeyed him. Ask ask asked when Jesus spoke
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: peace in the midst of that storm, asked that desperate
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: father who had the tormented demon possessed son, who was
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: given surpassing peace, as as that pardon thief dying next
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: to the Savior. If Jesus spoke peace to him in
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: that moment, how about all of these Old Testament saints
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: who also had that same peace by the way in
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: all of their troubles and trials and perseverance as they
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: pilgrimaged through this fallen world just as we do. And
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: here we read it. I'll never just read a few
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: verses in Hebrews chapter eleven, we refer to this chapter
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: as and these individuals as being in the hall of faith,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: heroes in the hall of faith. The Bible tells us
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: in verse thirty five. We pick it up there in
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: the latter clause. Others were tortured, not accepting deliverance that
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: they might obtain a better resurrection. Still, others had trial
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: of mockings and scourgings, yes, and of chains and imprisonment.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: They were stoned, they were sown into, were tempted, were
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: slain with the sword. They wondered about in sheepskins and
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: goat skins, being destitute, afflicted to torment. It of on
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: the world was not worthy. They wandered in deserts and
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: mountains and dens and caves of the earth. All these,
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: the Bible tells us, obtained a good testimony through faith.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: You know why, because ladies and gentlemen, they had a
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: surpassing peace that empowered them to overcome. And just as
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: they overcame, and just as Jesus overcame, by the way
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: he has made us overcomers. Now we have that same
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: surpassing peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, who
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: is I remind you again the Prince of Peace and
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: through whom we have this unlimited by the way access
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: to that peace that will provide rest for our souls,
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen. When Jesus speaks peace, there will be peace. Father. Again,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: we just want to thank you and bless your name,
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: and honor you and give you glory, the glory that
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: is due only to your great name. Thank you for
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: the peace of God. Thank you for resting you. Thank
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: you that you have provided all that you will ever need,
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: everything that pertains the life and godliness in this present world.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Thank you that we can have peace in the midst
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: of all of this turmoil, where there's wars and rumors
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: of wars, where the hearts of men are failing them
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: for fear, we have peace with God through our Lord
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. Open eyes, open ears, open hearts. Changes only
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: you can do by the power of your spirit. We
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: pray in Jesus' name, Amen and Amen.
