What REALLY Happened IMMEDIATELY After Jesus Died · truthunedited

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: The moment Jesus took his final breath, the world responded
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: in a way that had never been seen before. It
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: wasn't just the death of a man. It was the
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: culmination of God's divine plan. The very moment, history was
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: forever changed, and creation itself could not stay silent. At
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: that moment, the curtain of the Temple was torn in
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: people who had died were raised to life Matthew twenty seven,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: fifty one to fifty two. Think about that. The ground
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: beneath Jerusalem trembled violently, as if mourning the loss of
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: its creator. The temple veil, so thick and heavy that
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: no human hands could have torn it, was ripped apart
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: from top to bottom. Graves sealed for years burst open,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: and the dead were seen walking among them the living.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Was this just a coincidence, or was God making a
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: statement so powerful that even the earth itself had to
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: acknowledge it. What if the very foundations of the world
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: were shaken to reveal something much deeper. Here's what happened
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: the moment Jesus died, the Temple curtain tore in two.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: The massive veil that separated the Holy of Holies from
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: the rest of the temple was torn from top to bottom.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Why because Jesus's sacrifice removed the barrier between God and man.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: No more priests, no more sacrifices. Direct access to God
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: was now open. The division that sin had caused between
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: us and God was forever destroyed. The earthquake and the
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: splitting of rocks the ground itself reacted to the death
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: of its creator. This was not just a natural disaster,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: This was a divine shaking. Sin had been judged, Death
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: was defeated, and creation itself testified to it. Could it
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: be that the earth was mourning or was it rejoicing?
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: The graves opened and the dead were raised. Imagine it,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: people who had been dead for years, maybe even centuries,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: suddenly coming back to life. Why Because jesus death was
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: the beginning of resurrection power. This wasn't just a random event.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: It was a preview of what was to come when
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Jesus himself would rise three days later. It was a
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: foreshadowing of the final resurrection, when all who believe in
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: him will be raised to eternal life. And here's where
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: it gets even deeper. Why did these supernatural events happen
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: at that exact moment? What was God revealing about salvation,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: judgment and the New Covenant? What does the tearing of
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: the Temple curtain mean for our relationship with God to day?
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Why did some of the dead rise but not all?
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Because by the end of this video, you will not
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: only understand these shocking events, you will see how they
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: are proof that Jesus death changed everything forever. So let
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: me ask you, what if the earthquakes in your life
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: are not signs of destruction but of breakthrough. What if
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: jesus sacrifice didn't just shake the earth two thousand years ago,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: but is still shaking the foundations of your life to day.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: What if the same power that tore the veil, shook
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: the ground, and raised the dead is still available to you.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Because by the end of this video, you will see
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: these events not just as history, but as a revelation
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: of God's plan for you. We have created in depth
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: explanation videos for every book of the Bible to help
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: you go deeper in your faith. Each Deep Bible Stories
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: video is designed to break down scripture in a way
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: that is simple clear and deeply impact. We also have
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: ebooks on our website for some of our most popular videos.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: If you'd like this video to be turned into an ebook,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: let us know in the comments, and if this video
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: has opened your eyes to something new, like and share
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: it so more people can understand the supernatural power of
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: jesus death. It is our hope and prayer that this
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: video awakens something in your spirit, a faith so strong
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: that nothing can shake it. With that being said, let's
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: get started. The moment Jesus breathed his last something unimaginable
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: happened inside the temple. The thick, towering veil that separated
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the Holy of Holies from the rest of the temple
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: was ripped apart from top to bottom. This wasn't a
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: small tear or a natural aging of fabric. This was
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: a supernatural act, a divine statement that everything had changed
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: in that instant. For centuries, the veil stood as a
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: symbol of separation. It was a physical barrier, reminding the
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: people that no one could approach God's presence except the
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: High Priest, and even then only once a year, on
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: the day of Atonement. This wasn't just a curtain, It
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: was a message sin separates us from a holy God.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: The veil was a boundary that told the people you
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: are not worthy to enter. But at the moment of
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: jesus death, God himself tore the veil apart and noticed
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: the detail. It was torn from top to bottom. If
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: this had been the work of man, the tear would
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: have started at the bottom, where human hands could reach,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: but it didn't. God ripped it open from heaven downward,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: making it clear that he was the one removing the separation.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: The old system of sacrifices, rituals, and priestly mediation was over.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Jesus had done what no priest, no offering, a no
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: temple service, could ever do. He made a way for
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: man to enter the presence of God freely. This was
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: more than an event. It was a fulfillment of prophecy
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: and a confirmation of what Jesus had accomplished. Hebrews ten
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: nineteen to twenty two explains the full meaning of what
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: happened that day. Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: confidence to enter the most holy place by the blood
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: us through the curtain that is his body, let us
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: draw near to God with a sincere heart and with
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: a full assurance that faith brings. Think about that, because
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: of Jesus, we now have confidence to enter the presence
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: of God. No more priests, no more fear, no more barriers.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine what the priests inside the temple must
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: have thought when they saw it happen. For generations they
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: had treated the Holy of Holies with the highest level
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: of reverence. It was the very place where God's presence dwelled,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: and now, in an instant, the veil that stood between
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: God and man was gone. Some of them must have
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: fallen to the ground in terror. Others must have realized
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: at that moment that Jesus truly was the Son of God.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: And here's where this connects to us today. Many of
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: us still live as if the veil is still there.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: How many people today still believe they aren't good enough
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: to approach God. How many still feel like they need
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: a mediator, whether a pastor, a religious leader, or some
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: kind of spiritual ritual to be worthy of God's presence.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: How many live in guilt, shame, and fear, thinking that
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: God is distant and unreachable. But the veil is gone,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: the moment Jesus said it is finished. Access to God
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: was restored not just for the high priest, but for
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: everyone who believes in him. This means that no matter
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: what your past looks like, no matter what sins you've committed,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: no matter how far you feel from God, there is
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: nothing blocking you from running straight into his presence. You
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: don't need a priest, you don't need a temple, you
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: don't need to prove yourself worthy. The blood of Jesus
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: has already made you worthy. And if you're wondering what
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: this means practically, here it is. You don't have to
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: be afraid to pray. God isn't waiting to strike you down.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: He's inviting you into his presence. You don't have to
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: carry guilt and shame. Jesus paid the price and the
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: debt is gone. You can have confidence in your relationship
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: with God. The same God who tore the veil is
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: the same God who welcomes you as his child. This
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: is the power of what happened at the Cross. Jesus
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: didn't just die for forgiveness. He died to bring you
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: into direct, unhindered, intimate relationship with God. So let me
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: ask you, are you living like the veil is gone,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: or are you still standing outside feeling unworthy to step in?
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Because the truth is nothing separate you from God any more.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: The only thing that could stop you from entering His
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: presence is your own hesitation. Jesus tore the veil so
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: that nothing could stand between you and the Father. So
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: will you come In the moment Jesus surrendered his spirit,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: the earth itself responded in a way no one could ignore.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: A violent earthquake shook the land, splitting rocks apart, shaking
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: the foundations of the Temple, and terrifying those who witnessed it.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: This was no ordinary tremor. It wasn't just a natural disaster.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: It was as if creation itself was groaning, reacting to
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: the death of its creator. All throughout the Bible, the
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: earth has always responded to the presence of God. When
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: God descended upon Mount Sinai to give Moses the Law,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: the mountain trembled violently. Exodus nineteen eighteen. When Elijah stood
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: on the mountain and encountered the presence of God, there
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: was a mighty earthquake before the still small Voice First
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Kings nineteen eleven through twelve in the Book of Revelation.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: The coming judgment of God is often accompanied by great earthquakes,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: shaking the world as his divine plan unfolds. Revelation six twelve,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: sixteen eighteen. And now, at the very moment Jesus died,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: the earth shook once again. Imagine standing near the cross
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: watching as Jesus breathed his last The sky had already
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: been dark for three hours in the middle of the day,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: a sigh that something beyond human comprehension was taking place.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Then suddenly, as he cried out, it is finished, the
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: ground beneath you begins to tremble. People scream, The soldiers stagger,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: struggling to keep their balance. The massive temple stones rumble
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: as cracks form. Even hardened Roman soldiers, men who had
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: seen death countless times, felt the weight of this moment.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: These were men who had mocked Jesus just hours before.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: They had driven the nails into his hands and feet,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: laughed at his suffering, and gamboled for his clothes. But
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: as the earth shook violently beneath them, something changed. One
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: of them, filled with fear and awe, could no longer
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: deny the truth. Surely this man was the son of God.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Matthew twenty seven fifty four. Why did this earthquake happen
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: at that exact moment? What was God revealing? First? It
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: was a sign of judgment. The death of Jesus wasn't
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: just the killing of an innocent man. It was the
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: moment when the sins of the world were placed upon him.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Sin had to be judged, and the weight of that
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: judgment shook the very foundations of the earth. It was
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: as if creation itself could not remain still, as the
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: perfect son of God bore the wrath that we deserved.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Romans eight twenty two tells us that the whole creation
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: has been groaning, as in the pains of childbirth, right
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: up to the present time. The earth has always been
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: subject to the effects of sin, longing for redemption, And
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: at the moment Jesus died, it was like Creation itself
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: let out a cry, a groan so powerful that the
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: ground split apart. But this earthquake wasn't just about judgment.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: It was also a declaration of victory. Jesus death wasn't defeat.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: It was the fulfillment of God's ultimate plan. The shaking
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: of the earth was a proclamation the power of sin
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: and death was broken. Something irreversible had just happened. The
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: dominion of darkness was collapsing. The enemy had lost. And
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: think about this. Earthquakes shake the foundations, they destroy structures,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: they remove what is weak and unstable, and this earthquake
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: was no different. The old system was being shaken, the
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: temple veil was torn, the power of sin was being dismantled,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: and a new way was being established through Jesus Christ.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Hebrews twelve twenty six to twenty eight speaks about how
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: God will shake the heavens and the earth, removing what
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: can be shaken, so that only the unshakable will remain.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: This is exactly what happened at the Cross. The old order,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: the law, the sacrifices, the temple system was shaken to
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: its core, and what remained was an unshakable kingdom through Jesus.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Now here's the real question. What does this earthquake mean
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: for us today? Many of us experience moments in life
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: when everything seems to shake. Unexpected events rock our world, loss, hardship, betrayal, sickness,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: and when those moments come, we often wonder where is
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: God in all of this? But what if the shaking
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: isn't a sign that God has abandoned you, but that
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: he's about to do something new. What if the things
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: crumbling in your life aren't meant to destroy you, but
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: to remove what is weak, so only what is strong remains.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: What if, just like at the Cross, the shaking is
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: a declaration that the enemy's power over you is being broken.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Because the truth is, what happened on that day wasn't
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: just history. It was a spiritual reality that still applies
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: to us today. So let me ask you. Are there
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: things in your life that need to be shaken so
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: that only what is unshakable remains. Have you been experiencing
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: a spiritual earthquake? Something painful, something confusing, but maybe, just
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: maybe it's leading to something greater. Are you standing on
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: the unshakable foundation of Jesus Christ or are you clinging
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: to things that can be shaken and destroyed. Because here's
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: the good news. If you belong to Jesus, your foundation
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: will never be shaken. The enemy can try, but he
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: has already lost. The Cross has declared the final victory.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: So the next time your world shakes, remember this. It's
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: not just destruction, it's transformation. God is doing something deeper
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: than you can see. Just as He shook the earth
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: at the cross, he may be shaking the things in
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: your life to reveal his greater plan. And when it's over,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: only what is eternal, only what is strong, only what
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: is of Christ, will remain. The earthquake that shook the
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: land when Jesus died did more than just cause fear
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: and panic. The Bible specifically tells us that rocks split
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: apart in that moment. This might seem like just another
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: dramatic effect of the earthquake, but nothing in scripture is meaningless.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: If God made sure this detail was recorded, then it
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: carries deep spiritual significance throughout the Bible. Rocks often symbolize strength, permanence,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: and foundations, but they can also represent hardness, especially the
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: hardness of the human heart, the weight of sin, and
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: the strongholds that keep people bound. When Jesus died, the
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: physical splitting of the rocks was a visible sign of
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: the spiritual breakthrough that had just taken place. The strongest
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: barriers sin, death, and separation from God were being shattered.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: The first time the word rock is used in a
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: spiritual sense in the Bible, it refers to God himself.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: He is called the rock, whose ways are perfect, whose
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: justice is flawless, and whose faithfulness never fails. But there's
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: another side to this image. Throughout Israel's history, rocks also
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: represented spiritual resistance, stubbornness, rebellion, and hardened hearts. In Exodus,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: when the Israelites were wandering in the wilderness, they complained
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: about having no water. God told Moses to strike a rock,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: and water gushed out that rock, the New Testament tells
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Us represented Jesus himself. Just as the rock had to
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: be struck for life giving water to flow, Jesus had
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: to be struck down on the cross for salvation to
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: pour out to the world. And now, at the very
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: moment Jesus died, the rocks themselves split apart. This was
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: more than just a geological event. It was a prophetic declaration.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: Hundreds of years before jesus crucifixion, the Psalmist wrote about
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: a stone that the builders would reject, which would later
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: become the chief corner stone. Jesus himself quoted this prophecy,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: applying it directly to himself. He was the foundation of salvation,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: but he was rejected by the religious leaders. Yet despite
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: their rejection, God's plan moved forward, and at the Cross,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: the very foundations of the old order were breaking. The
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: physical splitting of the rocks mirrored the spiritual reality that
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: the world would never be the same again. Rocks symbolized
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: not just foundations, but also things that seem immovable. Some
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: people feel like their sins are too deep, their addictions
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: too strong, their past too heavy, like massive boulders blocking
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: their way to God. But here's what the Cross declares.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: If Jesus could split the rocks of the earth, he
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: can break the rocks in the heart. If the strongest
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: barriers of sin and death were shattered at the Cross,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: then nothing in life is too big for him to
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: break through. There are people who seem completely resistant to God.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Maybe they are bitter, hardened by life, or absolutely opposed
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: to faith. But then something happens. Maybe they hit rock bottom,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: maybe they experience a spiritual earthquake that shakes their life,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: and suddenly that hard heart begins to crack. The Bible
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: tells us that God can take a heart of stone
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: and turn it into a heart of flesh. That's exactly
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: what happened at the Cross. The hardest strongholds sin, rebellion, separation,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: from God were broken open so that life could come forth.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: There's another reason why the splitting of the rocks is
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: so significant. In the very next verse, we are told
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: that graves opened and the dead were raised to life.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: Why is that important Because rocks don't just represent hardness,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: they also represent tombs. Many tombs in ancient Israel were
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: carved into solid rock. In fact, jesus Own tomb was
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: sealed with a massive stone, but on resurrection Sunday, that
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: stone was rolled away, not to let Jesus out, but
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: to show the world that death itself had been defeated.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: The rocks splitting at his death were a foreshadowing of
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: the ultimate victory that was coming. The moment Jesus died,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: the power of sin and death were already breaking apart,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: and three days later the evidence would be undeniable. The
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: stone rolled away, the grave empty, and eternal life available
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: to all who believe. Maybe right now, something in life
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: feels too hard, too impossible, too unmovable. Maybe there is
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: a loved one who has a heart like stone, resistant
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: to God. Maybe there is a sin, an addiction, or
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: a painful past that feels like a heavy rock crushing
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: the soul. Something impossible to move, But the cross split
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: the rocks. The past does not have to define the future.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Jesus has already broken the power of sin. The grave
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: was opened. What seems dead, faith, hope, purpose can be resurrected.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: The stone was rolled away. No one is trapped, no
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: one is beyond saving. Jesus has already made a way out.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: What strongholds in life need to be broken? Is there
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: still a burden being carried that Jesus already split. Is
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: there a spiritual tomb being stood in front of thinking
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: there is no way out when Jesus has already removed
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: the stone. Nothing is too hard for God, not the
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: hardest heart, not the heaviest burden, not even death itself.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: And if Jesus can split the rocks at his death,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: he can split the chains holding anyone back from life
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: in him. The moment Jesus breathed his last, the world
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: was shaken, The temple veil was torn, and then, perhaps
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: the most shocking event of all, graves opened and the
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: dead were raised to life. Imagine witnessing this, people who
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: had been dead, some for years, suddenly walking among the living.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: This wasn't just one or two individuals, The Bible says
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: many holy people were resurrected. What does this mean, Why
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: did it happen at the moment of jesus death before
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: his own resurrection, and what does this tell us about
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: the power of Christ's sacrifice. To fully grasp the weight
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: of this moment, we have to understand what death meant.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Before Jesus completed his mission. In the Old Testament, the
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: dead were believed to go to a place called Sheol,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: a realm of the dead. It was a waiting place,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: divided between those who were righteous and those who were wicked.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Even though the faithful who trusted in God were at peace,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: the full redemption of their souls had not yet been realized.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: But something changed the moment Jesus died. The power of
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: sin had been broken, the grip of death had been shattered,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: and as a sign of this, the graves opened and
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: the dead were raised. This event directly connects to a
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: prophecy in Isiah. Your dead shall live, their bodies shall rise.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: You who dwell in the dust, awake and sing for
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: joy Isaiah twenty six nineteen. This was a foreshadowing of
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: what was happening in real time at the crucifixion and
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Yet something unusual stands out. These resurrected saints did not
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: immediately leave them their tombs. Matthew twenty seven fifty three
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: tells us that after jesus own resurrection, they went into
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: the Holy City and appeared to many. Why is this important?
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: Because Jesus was always meant to be the first born
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: from the dead. He was the first fruits of resurrection,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: the prototype of what was to come. But why did
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: this resurrection happen at all? Why did God raise these
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: specific individuals at this moment. First, it was a declaration
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: that Jesus Death had truly conquered sin. Death entered the
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: world through sin, and for generations it reigned over humanity.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: But now, for the first time since the fall of man,
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: death was losing its grip. The resurrection of these saints
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: was proof that Jesus had won. Second, it was a
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: foreshadowing of the final resurrection to come. Teaches that one
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: day all who belong to Christ will be raised. Paul
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: describes this in one Corinthians fifteen. For as in Adam
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: all die, so in Christ all will be made alive,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: but each in his own turn Christ the first fruits.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Then at his coming, those who belonged to him First
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Corinthians fifteen twenty two to twenty three. These resurrected saints
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: were a preview, a small glimpse of what God will
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: do on a global scale when Jesus returns. But notice something.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Not all the dead were raised, only a specific group,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: the Holy People. Why because resurrection is not just about
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: bringing people back to life, it's about redemption. The resurrection
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: of these individuals wasn't just physical, it was spiritual. They
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: were saints, meaning they were people who had already been
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: justified by their faith in God. Their resurrection pointed to
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: the fact that those who trust in God, even in death,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: will live again. This raises an important question. If God
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: raise these people back, then what does that mean for
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: us today? First, it means the resurrection is real. Jesus
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: death didn't just pay for sins, It opened the door
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: for eternal life. If the dead were raised at the Cross,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: then resurrection is not just an idea or a metaphor,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: it's a reality. Second, it means the power of Jesus
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: is greater than death itself. Sometimes we look at our
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: own lives and feel like things are beyond hope, like
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: certain dreams, relationships or even our faith have died. But
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: the same Jesus who cause graves to open is still
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: at work today. He still brings life to what seems dead. Third,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: it means we have a future hope. The Bible promises
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: that just as Jesus rose, so will all who belong
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: to him. Philippians twenty one says that Jesus will transform
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: our lowly bodies so that they will be like his
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: glorious body. The resurrection of these saints at his death
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: was just the beginning. The real fulfillment is yet to come.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Maybe right now, there's an area in life that feels buried.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's a calling that seems lost, a faith that
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: has grown cold, or a situation that feels hopeless. But
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: the power of Jesus doesn't just restore, it resurrects. If
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: graves opened at his death, then nothing is too far gone.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: If the dead were raised at his sacrifice, then no
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: situation is beyond his reach. If the power of sin
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: was broken once and for all, then fear, doubt, and
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: despair have no authority over the believer. This is not
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: just a historical event. It's a reminder of what is
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: to come. Because one day, the same Jesus, who shook
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: the earth when he died, will return to shake it again,
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: and when he does, the final resurrection will take place.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: The dead in Christ will rise, and those who believe
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: in him will enter into eternal life, never to die again.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: So the real question is are we ready? Are we
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: living in the hope of resurrection? Are we holding on
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: to things that Jesus has already declared dead and gone?
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Are we trusting in the power of the Cross to
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: raise us up into new life? Because the graves were
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: not just opened back then, they are still opening today.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: And for those who put their trust in Jesus, death
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: is not the end, It's just the beginning. The moment
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: the graves opened, the earth shook and the temple veil tore,
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: something undeniable happened. The spiritual and physical worlds collided in
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: a way that had never been seen before. But have
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: you ever noticed that these shocking events are only recorded
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: in the Gospel of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John all
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: describe jesus crucifixion, but they do not mention these supernatural occurrences.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: Why is that if the graves really opened, if the
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: temple veil was really torn, if the earthquake was so powerful,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: why wouldn't all four gospels include it. To answer this,
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: we need to remember something important. Each gospel was written
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: to a different audience with a different emphasis, but all
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: were inspired by the Holy Spirit. The fact that only
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Matthew records these events doesn't make them any less true.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: It actually tells us something deeper about Matthew's purpose and
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: what God was revealing through his account. Matthew's Gospel was
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: specifically written for a Jewish audience. This is why his
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: gospel begins with a genealogy that traces Jesus to Abraham
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: and David, because he wanted to prove that Jesus was
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: the promised Messiah of Israel. Throughout his gospel, Matthew constantly
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: refers to Old Testament prophecies, showing how Jesus fulfilled them
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: one by one. His mission was to demonstrate that Jesus
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: was not just a great teacher or a miracle worker.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: He was the King, the son of David, the rightful
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: ruler over God's kingdom. So when Matthew includes the tearing
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: of the veil, the earthquake, the splitting of rocks, and
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: the resurrection of the saints, he is making a declaration.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: The death of Jesus was not just the execution of
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: a man. It was the turning point of history, the
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: arrival of a new kingdom, and the fulfillment of everything
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: the Old Testament had been pointing to. But why would Mark, Luke,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: and John leave these events out. It's not that they
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: didn't believe they happened. It's that each gospel writer had
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: a different emphasis inspired by the Holy Spirit. Mark's gospel
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: is the shortest and the most action pact. His focus
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: is on Jesus as the suffering servant, the one who
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: came to serve and give his life as a ransom
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: for many. His audience was primarily Roman, so his writing
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: was more straightforward and fast moving, focusing on jesus actions
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: more than deep theological connections to Jewish Prophecy. Luke, a
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: physician and historian, wrote to a Gentile audience, carefully documenting
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: the life of Jesus with incredible detail. His focus was
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: on Jesus as the perfect man, the son of God
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: who came to save all people, both Jews and Gentiles. John,
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: on the other hand, takes an entirely different approach. His
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: gospel is not structured like the other three, He doesn't
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: include a birth narrative or many of the miracles found
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: in Matthew, Mark, and Luke. Instead, John's focus is on
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: revealing Jesus as the divine son of God, the Word
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: made flesh. His gospel emphasizes belief, the deep spiritual meaning
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: of Jesus's mission, and the personal relationship people are invited
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: to have with him. So when we look at the
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: gospels as a whole, we see that each one presents
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: a unique perspective on the same truth. But why does
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Matthew alone include the supernatural events that follow jesus death
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: because his gospel is all about proving jesus kingdom authority.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: Think about it, what happens when a new king takes
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: the throne. There is always a great announcement, a moment
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: that declares the transition of power. When Jesus died, he
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: was not being defeated. He was taking his rightful place
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: as king. The events that Matthew records were not just
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: random miracles. They were divine signs that the old system
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: had ended and a new kingdom had begun. The tearing
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: of the Temple Vale declared that the separation between God
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: and man was over. The earthquake and the splitting of
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: rocks were the earth itself, testifying that everything had changed.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: The opening of graves and the resurrection of saints was
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: proof that death had lost its power. Matthew wanted his
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: Jewish readers to see something unmistakable. Jesus was not just
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: a prophet, a rabbi, or even a political revolutionary. He
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: was the Messiah and his death was the moment everything changed.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: This also fits with another unique feature of Matthew's gospel,
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: his emphasis on Jesus as the greater Moses. Moses led
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: the Israelites out of Egypt and gave them the Law,
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: but Jesus brought a greater deliverance, freedom from sin and death.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: And just like Moses came down from Mount Sinai with
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: the Ten Commandments accompanied by an earthquake and the presence
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: of God, so jesus death was marked by the trembling
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: of the earth, the shaking of the heavens, and the
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: visible signs that God's presence had moved in a new way.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: But what does this mean for us today? First, it
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: reminds us that God confirms his truth in different ways.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: Just because something is only recorded in one gospel, doesn't
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: mean it's less important. In fact, it shows us that
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: God is intentional about how he reveals his truth. Second,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: it reminds us that jesus death was not just an
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: event in history. It was the greatest transition of power
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: the world has ever seen. It wasn't just a moment
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: of suffering. It was the declaration that Jesus had overcome sin, death,
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: and the grave. Finally, it challenges us to ask, are
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: we living in the reality of what Jesus accomplished. If
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: the veil was torn, are we living like we have
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: full access to God? If the earth shook, are we
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: paying attention to the power of the cross? If the
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: graves opened? Do we truly believe that Jesus has the
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: power to bring new life to even the most hopeless situations.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: Matthew's Gospel reminds us that Jesus is not just a
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: historical figure. He is the King. His death changed everything,
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: and his resurrection is proof that the victory is already won.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: So the question is are we living in that victory?
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: The moment the earth trembled, the rocks split, and the
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: temple veil was torn, an unexpected voice broke through the chaos,
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: not from a disciple, not from a religious leader, but
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: from a Roman centurion, a hardened soldier trained for war,
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: standing beneath the cross, overseeing the execution of yet another
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: criminal in a long line of many. But this execution
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: was different. He had seen men die before, but he
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: had never seen the earth itself react. He had never
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: heard a man cry out to God with such authority
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: and surrender. He had never felt a presence so overwhelming
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: that it pierced through his hardened heart. And so in
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: that moment he spoke the words that the religious leaders
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: refused to say. Truly, this was the Son of God.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: This moment is more than just an observation. It is
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: a profound declaration that carries a weight of irony, prophecy,
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: and divine intention. The Jewish leaders, the very people who
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: had waited for the Messiah, rejected him. They mocked him,
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: they ridiculed him even as he hung on the cross.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: But a Roman soldier, a gentile, a man who had
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: no background in Jewish prophecy, was the first to publicly
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: recognize Jesus for who he truly was. This was not
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: an accident. It was a foreshadowing of what was to come.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: The Gospel breaking beyond Israel and reaching the whole world.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: To understand how shocking this moment is, we have to
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: remember who the Roman centurion was. He was not just
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: a random soldier. He was a commander, a leader of
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: about one hundred men. He was a representative of the
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: Roman Empire, the very system that oppressed the Jewish people.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: He was a man of power, a man used to
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: giving orders, a man who had likely witnessed and participated
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: in countless executions. But something about Jesus shattered his expectations.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: The religious leaders had demanded a sign from Jesus time
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: and time again. They had tested him, challenged him, waiting
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: for proof of his claims. And yet when the greatest
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: sign of all took place, when the earth responded, when
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: the veil tore, when the dead were raised, they still
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: refuse to believe. But this centurion, who had not spent
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: years studying the scriptures, who had not been raised waiting
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: for the Messiah, saw what they refused to see. What
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: does this tell us? First, it reminds us that faith
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: is not about religious status. The Jewish leaders had knowledge,
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: but the centurion had revelation. The Pharisees had information, but
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: the Centurion had transformation. This is why Jesus said, truly,
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: entering the Kingdom of God ahead of you Matthew twenty
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: one thirty one. Because faith is not about how much
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: you know, it's about how open your heart is is
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: to receive the truth. Second, it shows us that God's
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: plan was always for the whole world. The centurion's declaration
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: was not just personal, it was prophetic. Jesus had already
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: spoken of a time when the Gentiles would come into
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: the kingdom. I say to you that many will come
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: from the East and the West, and will take their
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: the Kingdom of Heaven. But the subjects of the kingdom
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: will be thrown outside into the darkness, where there will
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: be weeping and gnashing of teeth Matthew eight eleven to twelve.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: This moment at the Cross was the beginning of that
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: prophecy being fulfilled. The Jewish leaders rejected their king, but
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: the Gentiles were beginning to see him for who he
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: truly was, and this would continue after jesus resurrection. He
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: would give the great COMMISSI go. Therefore, and make disciples
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: of all nations Matthew twenty eight nineteen. The Gospel was
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: not just for Israel, it was for the whole world,
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: and the first sign of that was right here at
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: the foot of the cross, when a Roman centurion declared
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: what the priests refused to say. But there's another layer
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: to this moment that we can't miss. This centurion had
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: likely been involved in the crucifixion process from the very beginning.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: Maybe he was there when Jesus was scourged, watching as
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: his flesh was torn apart. Maybe he was the one
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: who gave the order to nail Jesus to the cross.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: Maybe he had been among the soldiers who mocked him,
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: placing the crown of thorns on his head, laughing as
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: they spat on him. And yet here he was standing
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: in awe, realizing that the man they had tortured was
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: not just an ordinary man. He was the Sun of God.
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: This is a picture of grace, because if a Roman soldier,
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: a man who had possibly taken part in the physical
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: suffering of Jesus, could have his heart changed in a moment,
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: then who is beyond redemption? If someone who had spent
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: his life serving a Pagan empire, executing prisoners living by
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: the sword could suddenly have his eyes opened. Then there
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: is no one too far gone for the love of Christ.
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: This is the power of the Cross. It is the
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: power to shake the earth, to tear the veil, to
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: open the graves, and to turn the heart of even
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: the most unlikely person. But here's the question, how do
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: we respond. The religious leaders saw the same events, but
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: their hearts remained hard. The centurion saw the same events
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: and his heart was changed when we hear the gospel.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: When we are confronted with the reality of Jesus, we
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: have two choices. We can ignore it, rationalize it, and
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: explain it away, like the religious leaders, or we can
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: be like the centurion, letting the power of Jesus shake
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: us to our core and change everything we thought we knew.
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: So which one are you? Are you standing at a distance, watching, analyzing,
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: refusing to believe because it doesn't fit your expectations, or
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: are you standing at the foot of the cross, letting
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: the undeniable reality of Jesus transform your heart. The centurion
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: had no theological training, he had no background in Jewish prophecy,
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: but when he saw the evidence, he believed and that's
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: what God is looking for, not people who have all
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: the answers, but people who are willing to open their eyes,
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: see the truth and declare, truly, this was the Son
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: of God. Because the moment you recognize who Jesus truly is,
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: your life will never be the same again. The centurion's words, truly,
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: this was the Son of God were not spoken in
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: a vacuum. He was witnessing a moment that had been
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: foretold for centuries. Every unnatural event that occurred the moment
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: Jesus died, the tearing of the temple curtain, the earthquake,
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: the graves opening, even the darkness covering the land, had
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: already been written in the pages of the Old Testament.
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: These were not random occurrences. They were divine confirmations. For
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: anyone who had studied the Hebrew scriptures, the signs were unmistakable.
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: The crucifixion of Jesus was not just an execution. It
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: was a fulfillment of prophecy, a moment God had declared
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: long before it happened. And yet, while a Roman soldier
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: saw the truth, many of the Jewish leaders, the ones
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: who knew these prophecies best, refused to recognize it. Isaiah
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: fifty three had already described the suffering and death of
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: the Messiah in haunting detail. He was despised and rejected
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: by mankind, a man of suffering and familiar with pain.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: He was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: our iniquities. The punishment that brought us peace was on him.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: And by his wounds we are healed Isaiah fifty three
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: three five. Jesus was despised, he was rejected, he was pierced.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: And yet, rather than recognizing this fulfillment, the religious leaders
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: scoffed even as Jesus blood ran down the cross. They
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: refused to acknowledge that the very scriptures they had memorized
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: were playing out before their eyes. But it didn't stop there.
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: Amos eight nine to ten contained a chilling prophecy about
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: a day of divine judgment. In that day, declares the
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: sovereign Lord, I will make the sun go down at
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: noon and darken the earth in broad daylight. I will
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: turn your religious festivals into mourning, and all your singing
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: into weeping. And what happened as Jesus hung on the
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: cross from noon until three in the afternoon darkness came
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: over all the land Matthew twenty seven forty five, A sudden,
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: supernatural darkness covered the earth in the middle of the day.
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: This was no eclipse, This was not an ordinary event.
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: It was God himself testifying that what was happening on
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: the cross was cosmic in scale. Judgment was being poured
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: out not on humanity, but on Jesus, the lamb of God,
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: taking away the sins of the world. Still the religious
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: leaders did not see it. Zechariah twelve ten declared another
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: prophecy about this moment, they will look on me, the
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: for him as one grieves for a first born son.
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: Jesus was pierced by the nails in his hands and feet,
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: by the spear that would later be thrust into his side,
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: and yet there was no mourning from the religious leaders. Instead,
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: they mocked, they sneered, they celebrated his death, thinking they
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: had silenced him forever. But the mourning was coming. Just
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: forty years later, in seventy a d the city of
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: Jerusalem was destroyed by the Romans. The temple was burned
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: to the ground, the nation of Israel was scattered, and
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: for nearly two thousand years the Jewish people would remain
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: without a homeland. What Jesus had prophesied about the temple
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: came true. Not one stone here will be left on another,
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: every one will be thrown down Matthew twenty four, Colond two.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: The signs were everywhere. The tearing of the temple vale
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: signified the end of the Old Covenant. The earthquake signified
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: judgment and the power of God. The resurrection of the
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: dead signified the coming of new life. The darkness signified
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: the weight of sin being judged on the cross. And
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: yet the people who should have known these signs best
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: refused to see them. It raises an important question for
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: us to day. How often do we miss what God
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: is doing because we are too set in our ways,
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: too blinded by our expectations. The Pharisees were waiting for
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: a conquering messiah, a king who would overthrow Rome and
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: restore Israel's glory. They expected a ruler, not a suffering servant.
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: So when Jesus did not fit their image of the Messiah,
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: they rejected him, even though he fulfilled the very scriptures
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: they claimed to believe. Eve are we any different to day?
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: How many times has God been working in our lives,
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: answering prayers, revealing His presence, and we miss it because
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: it doesn't look the way we expected. How many times
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: have we clung to our own ideas, our own desires,
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: rather than submitting to God's greater plan. The Jewish leaders
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: had all the knowledge but lacked revelation. They had the
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: law but missed grace. They had the scriptures but rejected
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: the word made flesh. And yet in God's mercy. The
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: prophecies of Zechariah are not just about judgment. They also
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: contain hope, because one day Israel will recognize the one
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: they have pierced. One day, the morning will turn into repentance.
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: On that day, a fountain will be open to the
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to cleanse
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: them from sin and purity Zicariah thirteen one. The events
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: that took place at jesus death were shocking, but they
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: were not random. They were echoes of the prophecies spoken
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: long before. They were confirmations that Jesus was exactly who
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: he said he was and to day we are faced
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: with the same choice as the people standing at the
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: foot of the cross. Will we see the signs, will
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: we recognize Jesus for who he truly is, or will
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: we cling to our own expectations, our own desires and
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: miss what God is doing right in front of us.
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: The religious leaders ignored the prophecies and rejected Jesus. The
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: centurions saw the evidence and believed, which one will you be?
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: The tearing of the veil, the earthquake, the splitting of rocks,
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: and the resurrection of the dead. These were not just
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: supernatural signs that happened two thousand years ago. They were
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: declarations from Heaven revealing what was being accomplished in the
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: spiritual realm, and the effects of these moments are not
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: confined to history. They impact us to day in ways
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: that most believers have yet to grasp. The tearing of
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: the temple curtain was more than a dramatic event. It
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: was an invitation. Before Jesus death, only the high priest
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: could enter the Holy of Holies, and even then only
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: once a year. The presence of God was veiled inaccessible,
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: hidden behind a thick curtain, reminding humanity of its separation
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: from a holy God. But in that moment, when Jesus
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: gave up his spirit, the curtain tore from top to bottom,
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: not from bottom to top, as if man had done it,
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: but from heaven downward, as if God himself had ripped
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: open the divide. This means something radical for us to day.
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: There is no more say operation, no more restricted access,
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: no more waiting for a priest to stand in the gap.
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: Through Jesus, we now have direct personal access to God. Therefore,
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: most holy place by the blood of Jesus, let us
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: draw near to God with a sincere heart and with
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: the full assurance that faith brings Hebrews ten, nineteen twenty two. Yet,
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: how many of us live as though the veil is
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: still in place. How often do we act as if
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: we are unworthy to approach God, as if he is distant, unreachable.
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: How many still think they need a pastor, a spiritual leader,
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: or some religious ritual to connect with God, when Jesus
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: has already removed the barrier. The tearing of the veil
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: was an invitation to intimacy. It was a call to
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: step boldly into the presence of the Living God. If
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: we truly understood this, our prayer lives would check, our
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: worship would change, our confidence in God's love would change.
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: But that wasn't the only declaration that happened at jesus death.
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: The earthquake and the splitting of rocks were not just
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: physical disturbances. They were prophetic signs of what Jesus came
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: to do. The very ground shook as the weight of
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: sin was judged. The rocks split open, as if creation
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: itself was groaning, testifying to the power of what was happening.
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: This was not the first time creation responded to God's presence.
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: When God descended on Mount Sinai, the earth trembled. When
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: Elijah stood in the presence of the Lord, the mountain quaked.
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: When Jesus returns, the earth will shake again. The earthquake
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: at the Cross was both a sign of judgment and
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: of victory. It was as if the earth was breaking
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: under the weight of God's wrath being poured out on Jesus,
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: and at the same time, it was declaring that the
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: old system, the power of sin, the rule of death,
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: had been shattered. And isn't that exactly what Jesus does
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: in our lives. He shakes everything that can be shaken.
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: He breaks the unbreakable things. He tears down the strongholds
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: that have kept us bound. What strongholds are still standing
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: in your life? Are the areas in your heart, in
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: your mind that still feel like immovable stones. Is there
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: a sin, pattern, a fear, a lie you've believed that
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: seems impossible to overcome. The same Jesus who split the
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: rocks at his death, is the same Jesus who can
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: break the chains in your life? Is not my word
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: like fire, declares the Lord, and like a hammer that
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: breaks a rock in pieces Jeremiah twenty three, twenty nine.
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: But there was still one more declaration that shook the
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: world that day, the opening of the graves. For years,
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: the dead had been sealed away, their tombs had been closed,
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: their bodies decayed, their lives long forgotten. But when Jesus died,
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: those graves cracked open. So imagine what that must have
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: looked like. A graves splitting tombstone, shifting, the finality of
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: death being disrupted. Why Because jesus death was the beginning
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: of resurrection power. It wasn't just about his own resurrection.
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: Three days later, It was a sign that death itself
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: had been defeated. It was a preview of what is
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: still to come, when every believer will rise at the
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: final resurrection, for the trumpet will sound, the dead will
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: be raised, imperishable, and we will be changed First Corinthians
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: fifteen fifty two. But here's the question. If Jesus already
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: proved his power over death, why do so many of
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: us live as though death still has the final say.
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: Why do we live in fear of the future, fear
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: of loss, fear of the unknown. Why do we let
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: the enemy convince us that we are powerless when resurrection
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: power lives inside of us. The spirit of him who
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: raised Jesus from the dead is living in you Romans
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: eight eleven. Do you realize what this means? The same
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: power that raised people from their graves at the moment
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: of jesus death is the same power that lives inside
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: of you right now. The question is are you walking
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: in it? Are you living in the full confidence that
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: Jesus has conquered sin, death and the grave, or are
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: you still living as though the cross wasn't enough. Because
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: here's the truth. The moment Jesus died, everything changed. The
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: veil was torn, so why do we act like we're
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: still separated from God? The earth shook, so why do
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: we live as if strongholds can't be broken? The rocks split,
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: So why do we believe some things are too impossible
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: for God to change? The dead were raised, So why
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: do we walk in fear instead of resurrection power. The
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: death of Jesus was not just a historical event. It
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: was a supernatural shift that still affects us today. But
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: the question is are you living in the power of
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: what he finished? If the earth itself trembled at the
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: death of Jesus, how should we respond. The rocks split,
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: the ground shook, the temple vale was torn, and the
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: dead were raised. All of creation bore witness that something
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: eternal had taken place, something that could never be undone,
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: And yet two thousand years later, many live as if
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: nothing happened. The same people who heard the Roman centurion
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: say truly, this was the Son of God still went
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: back to their daily routines. Some walked past the torn
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: veil and still chose to worship as if the old
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: system was in place. Some ignored the earthquake, explained it away,
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: and continued life unchanged. But how can we, knowing what
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: we know now, remain the same. If the earth reacted
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: to jesus death, shouldn't our lives shouldn't our faith be
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: shaken in the best way possible, breaking free from everything
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: that once held us back? Because here's the truth. Jesus
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: didn't just come to shake the earth. He came to
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: shake you. He came to tear down the barriers that
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: kept you from God. He came to break the strongholds
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: that seemed unmoveable. He came to open the graves of
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: everything in your life that has been buried, your faith,
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: your hope, your purpose. But here's the hard question. Are
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: you responding to the cross the way creation did when
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: Jesus died that temple veil tor? Have you stepped into
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: the presence of God? Or do you still live as
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: if He is distant? Do you still feel like you
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: have to prove yourself to God, like you are unworthy
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: to be close to him. When Jesus died, the rocks split.
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: Has anything broken in your life since knowing him? Have
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: you allowed him to break the habits, the doubts, the
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: fears that have kept you bound? Or do you still
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: live in the same cycles unchanged. When Jesus died, the
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: dead were raised. Have you experienced resurrection power in your life?
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: Have you been made alive in Christ? Or are you
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: still carrying things that should have died at the cross.
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: If any one is in Christ, he is a new creation.
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: The old has passed away. Behold, the new has come
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: Tewod Corinthians five seventeen. That's the power of the Cross.
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: It doesn't leave things the way they were. It doesn't
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: allow you to stay the same. It shakes everything that
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: can be shaken, until only the unshakable remains. So here's
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: the challenge. If the earth responded, how will you? Will
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: you continue to live as if jesus death was just
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: a historical event, or will you let it transform your life?
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: Will you continue to live in fear? Or will you
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: step into the freedom of knowing the veil is torn?
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: Will you continue to accept the chains or will you
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: declare that the rocks have already split, the prison doors
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: are already open. Will you continue to walk in spiritual
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: defeat or will you rise with the same resurrection power
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: that called the dead from their graves. This is not
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: just a call to believe, it's a call to respond.
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: This earth shook, the temple, veil tor the dead were raised.
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: But now it's your turn. What will your response be
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: If this video has opened your eyes to something new,
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: like and share so more people can understand the supernatural
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: power of Jesus death. It is our prayer that this
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: truth ignites something in your spirit, a faith so strong
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: that nothing can shake it. Let's take this moment to pray.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: If there has ever been a time to fully surrender
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: to the power of the Cross, it is now. This
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: is not just a prayer of words. It is a
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: declaration of freedom, a tearing down of strongholds, a breaking
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: of chains. The veil was torn, the earth shook, the
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: dead were raised. But now let the shaking happen in us.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: Let the veil be removed from our hearts. Let everything
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: that has kept us bound fall away. In the presence
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: of Jesus, Heavenly Father, we come before you in awe
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: of what Jesus has done. We stand before the torn veil,
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: no longer outsiders, no longer separated. We don't have to
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: earn our way into your presence. The price has been paid,
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: the sacrifice has been made, and because of Jesus we
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: can come boldly before you. So right now we step in.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: We step into the holy place you have opened for us.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: No more fear, no more shame, no more distance. Lord,
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: Just as the earth shook when Jesus died, we ask
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: you to shake everything in us that is not of you.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: Let every stronghold be broken, let every unshakable thing remain,
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: and let everything that has held us back be shattered
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: in your presence. Break the fear that keeps us from
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: trusting you. Break the doubt that whispers that we are
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: still separated. Break the lies that tell us we are
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: not free. Break the addictions, the secret sins, the hidden wounds.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: Split them apart, just as the rocks were split at
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: Calvary Guard. You tore the veil so we could come close.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: So we come close. Now. We bring you everything. We
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: bring you the burdens we have married for too long.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: We bring you the chains we thought we could never escape.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: We bring you the graves of things we thought were
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: too dead to ever live again. And we ask you, Lord,
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: to bring resurrection power into every broken place. Jesus, you
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: are the lamb who was slain. You are the final sacrifice,
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: and because of your blood we are free. Because of
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: your sacrifice, we are made new because of your resurrection.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: We are victorious. So in your name we declare freedom,
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: freedom from sin, freedom from fear, freedom from condemnation, freedom
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: from everything the enemy has tried to use against us.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: We refuse to live like the veil is still there.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: We refuse to live like the grave still holds power.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: We refuse to live as if the cross was not enough.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: It is finished. It was finished then, and it is
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: finished now. And Lord, we pray for those who are
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: still standing on the outside looking in, for those who
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: have not yet stepped beyond the torn veil, for those
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: who feel unworthy, for those who feel too broken, for
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: those who think they need to fix themselves before they
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: can come to you. Show them that the cross was
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: for them, that the moment Jesus breathed his last breath,
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: the invitation was open to them. Draw them close, let
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: them know that you are waiting with open arms. And God,
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: let us never forget what happened that day. Let us
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: never live as if the cross was not enough. Let
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: us never be so consumed with our daily lives that
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: we forget the price that was paid. Let us live
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: every single day in the power of what Jesus has done.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: And now Lord, we seal this prayer in faith. We
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: stand in the victory of the Cross. We rejoice in
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: the freedom that has been given to us, and we
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: thank You because we know that what Jesus finished, no
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: power in hell can undo. In the mighty, victorious, resurrected
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: name of Jesus, we pray, Amen, if this Deep Bible
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: Stories video has opened your eyes to something new, like
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: and share so more people can understand the power of
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: Jesus death and resurrection. It is our prayer that this
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: truth awakens something in your spirit, a faith so strong
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: that nothing can shake it. Stay blessed,
