  Speaker 1: The bridge between what happened to Jesus and what happened
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: to you is the bridge that brings God's grace, his deliverance,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: his power, his strength, his fortitude to get you through
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: your situation. Now I know you aren't Jesus and maybe
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: you aren't spotless and maybe the Roman soldiers have not
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: carried you away. Maybe life has carried you away and
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: you've been nailed down by disappointments, divorces, chaos, confusions. Abuse, molestations, trials, problems,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: secret things you can't talk to anybody about. But let
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: me tell you something right now. Everybody in here has
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: his nails. Everybody in here carries their crosses. No matter
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: what school you went to, there's a cross for you.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: No matter how many zeros are on the end of
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: your check, I tell you what, there will still be
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: a cross for you. A cross for your fine self.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: A cross for your fat self. A cross for your
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: skinny self, a cross for your broken self, your black self,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: your white self, your brown self, your Puerto Rican self.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: There's still a cross for you. Some people stay nailed
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: to a cross. Some people stay complaining about what they've
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: been through and who hurt them and who betrayed them
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: and who gave them the kiss of death and who
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: walked out and who left them. And then there are
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: some people, they get off the cross, but they stay
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: in a tomb. of regret and misery and agony and
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: depression and they stop living and they stop breathing and
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: they anesthetize their pain with some kind of drug or
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: some kind of sex or some kind of fly-by-night person
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: who's here today and gone tomorrow and you find yourself
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: wrapped up in the grave clothes of guilt and shame
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: and you live behind your tomb. But a few folks,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: a few people in this room have been resurrected above
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: their circumstance, above their situation, above their trauma, above their crisis,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: above their dilemma. Here are the few folks in this
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: room that know him in the power of his resurrection.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: And you've seen God bring you out of stuff that
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: you don't even know how you got out of it yourself.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: But to God be the glory. And you know what
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the problem is? For all of you folks that's been
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: resurrected from something, the problem is when people see you now,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: they think you have never been through anything. But would
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: you just set the record straight? This Easter Sunday morning,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: I'm not here because I haven't been nailed. I'm not
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: here because I haven't been shut up. But through it all,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: I decided I will not stay where you left me.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: I'm going to have a Sunday morning resurrection experience. And
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: I'm going to have it on Monday. And I'm going
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: to have it on Tuesday. And I'm going to have
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: it on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Thank you.
