  Speaker 1: much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy

  Speaker 2: I pray, Amen and amen again the stone was rolled away,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: all right, So let's go ahead and begin in the
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Bible Book of Mark. I'm already excited about it. In
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: the Bible Book of Mark, chapter sixteen, and I will read.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: I will read beginning at verse one the Bible Book
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: of Mark, chapter sixteen, and I will read beginning at
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: verse one, and the Bible reads, and the Bible reads,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: and when the Sabbath was passed, and so we know
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: now that Jesus had been crucified on Friday. It is
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: now Sabbath, and he rests in the tomb on the Sabbath.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: The Bible says as according to the commandment, And Sunday
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: morning is here. Why because it says here the Sabbath
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: was passed. Okay, So Sabbath is gone. Rest is over,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: brothers and sisters. I want you to get that rest.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: It's over. It's now time for good work, okay. And
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Salomi
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: had brought sweet spices that they might come and anoint
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: him very early in the morning. We've read this before.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Very early in the morning the first day of the week,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: they came unto the sepulcher at the rising of the sun.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: And they said to themselves, who shall roll away the
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: stone from the door of the sepulcher. And when they looked,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: they saw that the stone was already rolled away, for
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: it was very great. And entering the sepulcher. Into the sepulcher,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: they saw a young man sitting and I said this
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: to you the other day. It must it was an
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: angel sitting on the right side, clothed in a long
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: white garment. And they were afraid, and he said unto them,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: don't be afraid. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who is crucified.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: He is risen. He is not here. Behold the place
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: where they had laid them. So now the angel is saying,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: don't be afraid of me. I definitely. I'm saying now,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: don't be afraid of your what you are expecting, that's
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: not happening. Don't be afraid at this moment. But I
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: want you to be faithful. I want you to be faithful,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: and I'm going to give you some evidence, some evidence
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: to demonstrate that God has already been good to you
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: in your life. And this is going to give you
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: a great track record with God so that you can
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: know that he's going to be great again in the future.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: I know. I just jumped in with both feet. This
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: is what's happening. And he's saying, Okay, the Jesus that
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: you're looking for, the King of the universe that you're thinking,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: is still dead. Even though he said that he would
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: rise again, he would take up his life on the
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: first day, he said three days later, in three days,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: I will take it up again. So why are you
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: looking for the dead when he's alive. And oh, by
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: the way, here's some evidence. This is where he was. Look,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: you want to embalm his body. Jesus is not dead.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: You want to prepare his body further for this time
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: that he's buried. He's not here. Look at the place
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: where he was, and of course they would have seen
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: that Jesus folded his his burial garments neatly, and he's
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: not there. He's gonna make an appearance, but not as
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: a dead man. Okay. And then verse seven, But go
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: your way, tell his disciples. See his disciples should have
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: already known this and should have been outside of the tomb,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: in my view, waiting for Jesus to wake up, Like Peter.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: It says, here and Peter, that goeth before you into Galilee,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: that ye shall see him as he said unto you.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: They should have been outside of the tomb, waiting for
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Jesus to wake up, you know what I mean? Like
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: I would have stayed outside like some of you people
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: go out and wait for Apple iPhones and other devices,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: sleeping outside, waiting for games and concerts that aren't going
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: to commence for several hours, sometimes days. I would have
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: been outside of that sepulcher. If God bless me, I'd
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: be outside of the sepulcher because Jesus said he gonna
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: get up, And I would have wanted to be one
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: of the first people to see this happen MM, because
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: he promised. Just like those wise men who were there
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: to see the Babe Jesus wrapped in swaddling clothes and
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: in a manger, there should have been all of God's
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: people in that region should have been there waiting, waiting
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: for this, but they missed it. The people should have
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: been waiting for the Anointed One at the Jordan River
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: so that John wouldn't have to always point out and say,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the sins
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: of the world. The people of God at minimum should
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: have been there waiting because it's now time. God gave
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: him the time prophecy to say that the Anointed One
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: would show up at this particular time in Earth's history.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: But alas we need reminders, So go ahead and tell
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: the disciples, go ahead and tell Peter that He's going
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: to come to you Verse eight. And they went out
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: quickly and fled from the sepulcher, for they trembled and
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: were amazed. Neither said they anything to any man, for
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: they were afraid. Why were they afraid, I guess because
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: the Angel was amazing to see I'll leave that where
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: that is. But they should not have been confused. They
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: should have been amazed. They should not have been surprised.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: They should have been amazed. And in First Corinthians chapter fifteen,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: beginning at verse one. Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: the gospel which I preach unto you. Can I just
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: say here that this is the power of God unto
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: salvation to everyone that believes. Can I say that the
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: gospel is about dying to sin, Jesus Christ giving us
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: the power to die to sin, Jesus Christ giving us
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: the power to be raised into a spiritual newness of life.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: And one day, one day, He'll give us new bodies
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: to match. I declare unto you the gospel which I
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: ye stand by, which also ye are saved. If you
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless you
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: have believed in vain, For I delivered unto you first
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: of all that which I also received. How that Jesus
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: he died for our sins according to the scriptures. You see,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: God didn't sneak this up on us, like it's not
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: something that we couldn't have anticipated. We may not have
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: understood it. But he said very clearly what would happen.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: And it says here that Christ died for our sins,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: according to the scriptures, and he was past tense, buried,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: and then he rose again the third day according to
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: the scriptures. You see both of those things God had
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: already given to us. He said he would not do
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: anything important except he reveal it first unto his servants,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: the prophets, And he kept his promise verse five. And
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: then he was seen of Cephis. That's Peter seen of Cephis,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: then of the twelve. After that he was seen above
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: remain unto this day, but some have fallen asleep. After that,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: he was seen of James and of the Apostles. And
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: last of all, he was seen of me, also, as
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: one born out of due time. Can I just ask
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: you a question? Was Jesus seen of you past tense?
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Is Jesus prevalent in your life? Do you see him
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: in your life and lifestyle right now on this day
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: in September in twenty twenty four, are you seeing Jesus
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: in your life? According to the scriptures. He has given
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: you many many, many great and precious promises. Are you
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: seeing the fulfillment of the scriptures in your life? The
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: stone was rolled away in that story. Is the stone
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: rolled away in your life? Today? Rise with Jesus peace.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends. Always remember we cannot
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
