• 2:00
  Speaker 2: thank you for this Sunday morning, for the blessing of
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: the Sabbath yesterday, and for the fact that you are
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: still leading us, You were still calling us, You are
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: still giving us your power, the power of the resurrection,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: so that we can be more like Jesus. Father, Please
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: make us faithful in all things in Jesus' name. I
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: pray a man and a man again proclaiming the resurrection
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: of Christ. And I mentioned to you yesterday a story
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: about believing that God is well able to make us
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: just like him, that we can live above the stain
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: of sin. As long as we are submitted and surrendered
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: to God, we know that we will be we will
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: be locked in when the ceiling of God's people happens
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: in the very near future. I'm talking about the completeness
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: of that of that work that God has promised. But
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: in the meantime, I know from the scriptures that the
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: power of Jesus's resurrection is our calling card, if you will,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: that is the way that we can live like Jesus lived.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: He conquered hell, death, and the grave, and one day
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: he's going to throw that into lake of fire. He
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: has the keys. Jesus has the keys the mighty lion
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: of the tribe of Judah, who was kind enough and
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: righteous enough to take on human flesh and then give
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: that life a ransom for us to pay the debt
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: of sin that we own and could not repay. Jesus
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Christ did that at least at minimum for us. And
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: so our most important thought in my mind for today
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: is that the resurrection of Christ. Yes, it's a historical event,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: but this was witnessed by hundreds of people. Yeah, yeah,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: it was witnessed by hundreds of people. And so Paul's
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: confidence was so complete. He said, you go ahead and
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: go ask them yourself. In fact, the risen Savior Jesus Christ.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: He actually accosted, if you want to say, maybe that's
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: not a right word. I need a better synonym for it.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: But got he listen. He interrupted Paul's path on the
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: road to Damascus. And we know that Paul experienced the
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: risen Savior for himself. But there were so many people
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: that saw Jesus not long after he came out of
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: the tomb, walking around for those for that period of
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: time before he went back to heaven at the ascension. Okay,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: and so our first lesson for today is coming in
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: from First Corinthians, chapter fifteen. First Corinthians, chapter fifteen, and
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: I am reading verses three to five. The Bible reads,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: for I delivered unto you first of all that which
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: I also received. So he's saying, he's saying that I am.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: I'm sharing with you what I received. This is my
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: personal experience that Christ died for our sins according to
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: the scriptures, and that he was buried, so that was reality,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: like he literally died, He literally was buried. We know
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: that this is true and that he was raised on
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: the third day according to the scriptures, and that he
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: appeared to Sephist. That's Peter and the twelve. And of
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: course we know that it went even beyond that. And
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: so this is so beautiful because we need eyewitnesses. God
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: has called us to be witnesses of his great power
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: to transform our lives right and to make us holy
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: and to be of value to the people in the world.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: So God is saying that in this case, through Paul,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: he's saying that there are people who witness exactly what happened.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: That Jesus actually miraculously yielded his human life and miraculously
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: he took it up again. He promised, I lay down
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: my life that I may take it again. I have
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: this commandment of my Father. So Jesus took his life
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: back up on the first day his life. The power
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: of his life unborrowed, underrived his divinity, awakened his humanity.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: I just wish I had the time, but I don't.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: But Jesus said he was going to do that. And
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: I'm grateful because when he promises us that he's going
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: to raise us up. When he promises us and says
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: be holy, for I the Lord thy God, am holy
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: be perfect, for I the Lord thy God, am perfect.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: We love him. The Bible writer said, because he first
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: loved us, loved us, that means he is the cause
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: of our ability to love him. Since that is the case,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: we can go and proclaim this, This is the great
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: news that we go to every kindred nation, tribe, tongue,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: and people and proclaim because there are people who were
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: still bound in their sins. They're bound in relationships they
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: should not be in because they don't recognize and embrace
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: the power of the resurrection. And so according to it's
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: in agreement with in fulfillment. When he says, in accordance
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: with the scriptures, this is in fulfillment. Off Paul repeats
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: the word twice Christ died and rose. According to the scriptures,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: the resurrection was not an accident. It was not incidental.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: It wasn't something where people were surprised, like, oh my,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: how did that happen? It was a fulfillment of everything
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: that God promised from the beginning. That is what we
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: knew that Messiah would do because it was recorded in
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: the scriptures long before Jesus was ever born to Mary. Okay,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: so the resurrection did not catch God off guard. It
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: was written into the plan before the foundation of the world.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: That was God's plan. Every promise of the Old Testament
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: pointed toward an empty tomb, and the empty tomb confirmed
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: every promise. Those disciples did not steal the body of
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Jesus from the tomb. Jesus took his life again. And
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: so I want you to read so you can sort
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: of get your mind wrapped around God's resume when he
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: says something. It is so ah, read the Old Testament,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: read one of those Messianic passages today as Psalm and
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Isaiah's Prophecy a Daniel Vision, and let it deepen your
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: confidence that God keeps his word, every single word that
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: he speaks. Let me read a quote. Let me read
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: a quote for you. This quote is part of me
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: catching my breath. This quote is is Oops, coming in
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: from the book lost it. It just disappeared, coming in
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: from the book The Story of Redemption. Simon, Josiah and
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: I are reading this every night in our family worship.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: This page is two thirty three. The resurrection of Christ
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: is the foundation of the Christian hope. It is the
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: pledge of the resurrection of all who die in faith
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: in Him and the assurance that God accepts the sacrifice
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: which He made in our behalf. Make it a great day, peace.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: every word that comes from the mouth of God. This
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: has been your daily portion with El David Harris. Make
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: it a great day. Yeah.
