\nI’m Jason and I’m Brian.
\nThank you for joining us this <\/p>\n

4
\n00:00:09,960 –> 00:00:13,440

\nWe select one talk a week to <\/p>\n

\n00:00:13,440 –> 00:00:15,960
\nhelp us get the Bible in our
\nDaily News. <\/p>\n

\n00:00:15,960 –> 00:00:19,040
\nFeed.
\nEach week we post a talk that we<\/p>\n

7
\n00:00:19,040 –> 00:00:22,080
\npreviewed from suggestions sent
\nin by listeners from around the <\/p>\n

8
\n00:00:22,080 –> 00:00:24,640
\nworld.
\nThen we record a short intro <\/p>\n

9
\n00:00:24,640 –> 00:00:28,080
\nbeforehand as a personalized
\nrecommendation to you on why we <\/p>\n

10
\n00:00:28,080 –> 00:00:31,040
\nare sharing the talk.
\nAnd now let’s talk more about <\/p>\n

11
\n00:00:31,040 –> 00:00:44,900
\nthis week’s talk.
\nWelcome to the good Chris <\/p>\n

12
\n00:00:44,900 –> 00:00:47,860
\nAdelphian Talks podcast.
\nThis is brother Brian. <\/p>\n

13
\n00:00:48,900 –> 00:00:52,700
\nThis week’s talk is an
\nexhortation that was sent in by <\/p>\n

14
\n00:00:52,740 –> 00:00:57,460
\na recent recommendation from the
\nTea Tree Gully SA Ecclesia. <\/p>\n

15
\n00:00:58,980 –> 00:01:04,060
\nBrother Joshua Kempster gave the
\nexhort called The Stone is <\/p>\n

16
\n00:01:04,060 –> 00:01:09,360
\nRolled Back and it is definitely
\none of the most memorable <\/p>\n

17
\n00:01:09,360 –> 00:01:11,000
\nexhortations that I’ve ever
\nheard. <\/p>\n

18
\n00:01:12,240 –> 00:01:19,280
\nIt is long for an exhort in my
\nopinion, but I found it to be so<\/p>\n

19
\n00:01:19,280 –> 00:01:23,560
\ncaptivating that I was right in
\nthere with him the whole time. <\/p>\n

20
\n00:01:24,240 –> 00:01:27,880
\nIt starts strong and it just
\nnever lets up. <\/p>\n

21
\n00:01:30,200 –> 00:01:34,080
\nBrother Joshua is basically
\ntelling us a story, almost like <\/p>\n

22
\n00:01:34,080 –> 00:01:39,160
\na narration, about the
\nperspective of what should have <\/p>\n

23
\n00:01:39,160 –> 00:01:46,680
\nhappened to Jesus body and his
\nreputation if he was treated <\/p>\n

24
\n00:01:46,680 –> 00:01:54,000
\nlike the rest of the victims of
\ncrucifixion and just discarded <\/p>\n

25
\n00:01:54,240 –> 00:01:56,800
\nin the trash heap that was
\nburning at Gehenna. <\/p>\n

26
\n00:01:58,800 –> 00:02:05,240
\nBut how things changed when
\nJoseph of Arimathea and <\/p>\n

27
\n00:02:05,480 –> 00:02:10,400
\nNicodemus involve themselves
\npersonally in the care of his <\/p>\n

28
\n00:02:10,400 –> 00:02:18,480
\nbody, and then the ensuing
\nscenes at the empty tomb Brother<\/p>\n

29
\n00:02:18,480 –> 00:02:22,760
\nJoshua litters in.
\nGreat practical application gems<\/p>\n

30
\n00:02:23,840 –> 00:02:29,160
\nand reminders for us to focus on
\nwhat the work of God’s grace has<\/p>\n

31
\n00:02:29,160 –> 00:02:34,640
\naccomplished for us and warns us
\nto stop trying to return to the <\/p>\n

32
\n00:02:34,640 –> 00:02:38,600
\ntombs for bits and pieces of our
\nold lives. <\/p>\n

33
\n00:02:39,040 –> 00:02:43,840
\nYou know these grave clothes
\nthat we should leave behind as <\/p>\n

34
\n00:02:43,840 –> 00:02:49,720
\nwell as the core comforting
\nlesson that where God has rolled<\/p>\n

35
\n00:02:49,720 –> 00:02:55,400
\nthe stone back for us, we are
\nnot going to undo His work by <\/p>\n

36
\n00:02:55,400 –> 00:03:01,080
\nour daily shortcomings.
\nTruly one of the most memorable <\/p>\n

37
\n00:03:01,080 –> 00:03:04,720
\ntalks I’ve ever listened to, and
\none that I hope is a great <\/p>\n

38
\n00:03:04,720 –> 00:03:06,960
\ncomfort and reflection to you as
\nwell. <\/p>\n

39
\n00:03:08,160 –> 00:03:12,360
\nSo, as always, we hope that this
\nstrengthens your faith and <\/p>\n

40
\n00:03:12,360 –> 00:03:16,160
\nbrightens your day.
\nBrother Joshua Kempster, The <\/p>\n

41
\n00:03:16,160 –> 00:03:20,160
\nstone is rolled back.
\nGood morning brothers and <\/p>\n

42
\n00:03:20,160 –> 00:03:24,000
\nsisters in our Lord.
\nJesus Christ, it’s delightful to<\/p>\n

43
\n00:03:24,000 –> 00:03:25,800
\nbe back.
\nHere in the first ecclesia I <\/p>\n

44
\n00:03:25,800 –> 00:03:29,560
\never attended, not as a member,
\nbut as a nought to. 3 year old <\/p>\n

45
\n00:03:29,560 –> 00:03:31,920
\nchild so.
\nIt’s nice to be back. <\/p>\n

46
\n00:03:31,920 –> 00:03:34,160
\nAnd share fellowship with you
\nall. <\/p>\n

47
\n00:03:35,240 –> 00:03:38,280
\nI bring love, loving greetings
\nfrom the Woodville Ecclesia and <\/p>\n

48
\n00:03:38,280 –> 00:03:41,960
\nthe brothers and sisters there,
\ngrace and peace from God and our<\/p>\n

49
\n00:03:41,960 –> 00:03:49,600
\nLord Jesus Christ.
\nEverything had gone to plan. <\/p>\n

50
\n00:03:51,720 –> 00:03:57,760
\nThe peasant preacher from
\ndespised Nazareth, hung lifeless<\/p>\n

51
\n00:03:57,760 –> 00:04:03,920
\nfrom a cross, condemned as a
\ncriminal and shamed before the <\/p>\n

52
\n00:04:03,920 –> 00:04:07,880
\nentire nation.
\nHe was nothing. <\/p>\n

53
\n00:04:08,000 –> 00:04:11,200
\nThere was not a thought, not a
\nstir of consciousness in his <\/p>\n

54
\n00:04:11,200 –> 00:04:15,600
\nmind.
\nDeath is a horrible process. <\/p>\n

55
\n00:04:16,160 –> 00:04:18,800
\nIt’s a degradation of what?
\nUsed to be a vital. <\/p>\n

56
\n00:04:18,800 –> 00:04:24,720
\nMoving living being into nothing
\nin Matthew 27 verse 50, Jesus <\/p>\n

57
\n00:04:24,720 –> 00:04:27,600
\nwhen he had.
\nCried with a loud voice, yielded<\/p>\n

58
\n00:04:27,600 –> 00:04:31,920
\nup the spirit.
\nWhen it came to the physical. <\/p>\n

59
\n00:04:31,920 –> 00:04:35,280
\nProcess of death he was.
\nNo different to any. <\/p>\n

60
\n00:04:35,280 –> 00:04:39,480
\nOther before or after.
\nHim When a person dies, the <\/p>\n

61
\n00:04:39,480 –> 00:04:43,760
\ncells begin to die, some like
\nbrain cells, within minutes. <\/p>\n

62
\n00:04:44,800 –> 00:04:48,200
\nOthers over the course.
\nOf an hour or longer the longest<\/p>\n

63
\n00:04:48,200 –> 00:04:50,200
\nliving cells, the.
\nWhite blood cells. <\/p>\n

64
\n00:04:50,280 –> 00:04:54,000
\nMay last up to 70 hours.
\nBut after three days have. <\/p>\n

65
\n00:04:54,000 –> 00:04:56,680
\nPassed.
\nAll cells have entirely <\/p>\n

66
\n00:04:56,680 –> 00:04:58,760
\ncollapsed and there is no life
\nin them. <\/p>\n

67
\n00:05:00,000 –> 00:05:04,840
\nOur Lord.
\nWas no exception in verse. 57 to<\/p>\n

68
\n00:05:04,840 –> 00:05:06,480
\n60.
\nWe won’t read it, but you can <\/p>\n

69
\n00:05:06,480 –> 00:05:11,120
\npick out in verse. 58 The body.
\nIn verse 59. <\/p>\n

70
\n00:05:11,280 –> 00:05:15,320
\nThe body.
\nAnd referred to as it in verse <\/p>\n

71
\n00:05:15,320 –> 00:05:17,920
\n60 and laid it in his own new
\ntomb. <\/p>\n

72
\n00:05:18,480 –> 00:05:21,720
\nIt’s an object.
\nIt’s no longer Jesus it’s no <\/p>\n

73
\n00:05:21,720 –> 00:05:26,520
\nlonger that most lovely man it’s
\njust organic matter that used to<\/p>\n

74
\n00:05:26,520 –> 00:05:31,000
\nbe him.
\nJesus is gone from his birth <\/p>\n

75
\n00:05:31,000 –> 00:05:36,080
\nuntil now there were only. 3.
\nDays when he wasn’t very aware <\/p>\n

76
\n00:05:36,080 –> 00:05:38,520
\nof his surroundings.
\nAnd those three days occur here.<\/p>\n

77
\n00:05:39,360 –> 00:05:43,400
\nWhat once was living is now
\ndead, it seems. <\/p>\n

78
\n00:05:44,040 –> 00:05:48,640
\nIrreversible.
\nEverything had gone to plan. <\/p>\n

79
\n00:05:49,320 –> 00:05:51,720
\nThe body was due to be.
\nThrown onto the rubbish heap <\/p>\n

80
\n00:05:51,760 –> 00:05:54,960
\ninto Gehenna with the criminals,
\nit would have been tossed <\/p>\n

81
\n00:05:54,960 –> 00:05:58,880
\nunceremoniously and uncaringly
\ninto a burning fire that sends <\/p>\n

82
\n00:05:58,880 –> 00:06:02,080
\nthe worst stench into the
\nnostrils of those unfortunate <\/p>\n

83
\n00:06:02,080 –> 00:06:05,200
\nenough to walk by the renegade
\npreacher. <\/p>\n

84
\n00:06:06,000 –> 00:06:09,440
\nThat three and a.
\nHalf year headache dealt with. <\/p>\n

85
\n00:06:11,200 –> 00:06:17,040
\nEverything had gone to plan.
\nBut oh, what a tragedy. <\/p>\n

86
\n00:06:17,520 –> 00:06:19,680
\nWhat a shameful thing for that
\nto. <\/p>\n

87
\n00:06:19,680 –> 00:06:21,160
\nHappen to the?
\nBody of the Son of. <\/p>\n

88
\n00:06:21,160 –> 00:06:24,000
\nGod, the body of.
\nJesus may have just been, <\/p>\n

89
\n00:06:24,040 –> 00:06:26,920
\nstrictly scientifically
\nspeaking, organic matter. <\/p>\n

90
\n00:06:27,720 –> 00:06:29,560
\nBut it was too precious to
\nleave. <\/p>\n

91
\n00:06:29,880 –> 00:06:31,240
\nWho would take action?
\nWho? <\/p>\n

92
\n00:06:31,240 –> 00:06:33,720
\nWould prevent this criminal
\ntreatment of this. <\/p>\n

93
\n00:06:33,720 –> 00:06:37,920
\nPrecious body, those who you
\nexpect to care for the body. <\/p>\n

94
\n00:06:38,920 –> 00:06:41,800
\nThey were gone, the disciples.
\nSurely the disciples who had <\/p>\n

95
\n00:06:41,800 –> 00:06:44,440
\nfollowed Jesus.
\nFor three, some for. <\/p>\n

96
\n00:06:44,680 –> 00:06:47,840
\nOver three years, who had
\nprofessed that they would die <\/p>\n

97
\n00:06:47,840 –> 00:06:48,400
\nfor?
\nHim. <\/p>\n

98
\n00:06:49,040 –> 00:06:52,000
\nWould surely be there to care.
\nFor their friend who had cared <\/p>\n

99
\n00:06:52,000 –> 00:06:56,280
\nfor them gone.
\nAll his friends had forsaken <\/p>\n

100
\n00:06:56,280 –> 00:07:00,520
\nhim.
\nBut Joseph of Arimathea. <\/p>\n

101
\n00:07:01,840 –> 00:07:05,560
\nWhat a brave man.
\nNever mentioned before, never <\/p>\n

102
\n00:07:05,560 –> 00:07:11,120
\nmentioned after.
\nHe appears only to perform this <\/p>\n

103
\n00:07:11,120 –> 00:07:18,760
\nmost necessary of actions.
\nThe heart fills with emotion <\/p>\n

104
\n00:07:19,640 –> 00:07:21,680
\nconsidering the.
\nFather. <\/p>\n

105
\n00:07:22,440 –> 00:07:27,160
\nLooking down on this happening,
\nhe had engineered circumstances <\/p>\n

106
\n00:07:27,160 –> 00:07:28,840
\nsuch.
\nThat there was. <\/p>\n

107
\n00:07:28,840 –> 00:07:34,320
\nOne on earth who would stand in
\nfor him, who could stand in as <\/p>\n

108
\n00:07:34,320 –> 00:07:36,520
\nthe Father with gentle, strong
\nhands. <\/p>\n

109
\n00:07:36,920 –> 00:07:40,360
\nRespectfully.
\nAnd carefully taking the body <\/p>\n

110
\n00:07:40,360 –> 00:07:44,480
\ndown and treating it the way any
\nfather would want their son to <\/p>\n

111
\n00:07:44,480 –> 00:07:50,040
\nbe treated.
\nIt was the same at the birth. <\/p>\n

112
\n00:07:50,200 –> 00:07:54,200
\nOf Jesus.
\nGod required a man to stand in <\/p>\n

113
\n00:07:54,200 –> 00:07:55,520
\non earth.
\nAs his father. <\/p>\n

114
\n00:07:56,680 –> 00:07:59,600
\nThe Heavenly Father would always
\nbe present, opening his ear <\/p>\n

115
\n00:07:59,600 –> 00:08:04,080
\nmorning by morning, but God
\nrequired a human father presence<\/p>\n

116
\n00:08:04,080 –> 00:08:08,200
\nin the household to complete the
\nfamily unit to teach his sons <\/p>\n

117
\n00:08:08,200 –> 00:08:10,840
\nthe practical skills.
\nOf life to lift. <\/p>\n

118
\n00:08:10,840 –> 00:08:13,400
\nHim to reach the high.
\nShelf to pick. <\/p>\n

119
\n00:08:13,400 –> 00:08:16,680
\nHim up when he.
\nFell as a child to do the heavy <\/p>\n

120
\n00:08:16,680 –> 00:08:19,520
\nwork.
\nThat his mother couldn’t do to <\/p>\n

121
\n00:08:19,520 –> 00:08:22,440
\ncarry him sleeping and place him
\ngently into bed. <\/p>\n

122
\n00:08:24,000 –> 00:08:28,120
\nThis man was also named Joseph
\nBoth. <\/p>\n

123
\n00:08:28,120 –> 00:08:29,760
\nDescribed as a just.
\nMan. <\/p>\n

124
\n00:08:30,040 –> 00:08:32,320
\nThere as.
\nBookends to his mortal life. <\/p>\n

125
\n00:08:32,679 –> 00:08:36,480
\nWas Joseph a stand?
\nIn for the father working the <\/p>\n

126
\n00:08:36,480 –> 00:08:37,520
\nwork.
\nThat the father. <\/p>\n

127
\n00:08:37,520 –> 00:08:40,240
\nDesperately needed doing, this
\nwas. <\/p>\n

128
\n00:08:40,240 –> 00:08:42,960
\nYahweh’s boy and.
\nNo one seemed to. <\/p>\n

129
\n00:08:42,960 –> 00:08:45,640
\nCare.
\nThis was Yahweh’s boy, that <\/p>\n

130
\n00:08:45,920 –> 00:08:49,840
\nHosea. 11 says he took by the
\nhands and he taught him how to <\/p>\n

131
\n00:08:49,840 –> 00:08:53,760
\nwalk.
\nHe did that through a Joseph. <\/p>\n

132
\n00:08:54,800 –> 00:08:58,840
\nAnd now, through a Joseph, he
\nlays him to rest. <\/p>\n

133
\n00:09:00,000 –> 00:09:02,920
\nWe know it’s only for three
\ndays, but three days on that <\/p>\n

134
\n00:09:02,920 –> 00:09:04,560
\nburning.
\nRubbish heap of. <\/p>\n

135
\n00:09:04,560 –> 00:09:07,520
\nGehenna would have left an
\naltogether different sensation <\/p>\n

136
\n00:09:07,880 –> 00:09:09,800
\non the death and resurrection of
\nthe Lord. <\/p>\n

137
\n00:09:10,880 –> 00:09:15,560
\nWhere in that burning is the
\nimage of rest, of sleeping, of <\/p>\n

138
\n00:09:15,560 –> 00:09:20,080
\nincorruption, of serene
\ncomposure and total control? <\/p>\n

139
\n00:09:22,320 –> 00:09:26,400
\nSo there is Joseph.
\nOf all the people mentioned at. <\/p>\n

140
\n00:09:26,400 –> 00:09:29,440
\nThe death of the Lord.
\nHe alone is mentioned in all. 4 <\/p>\n

141
\n00:09:29,440 –> 00:09:32,120
\nGospels.
\nA record of the ministry of our <\/p>\n

142
\n00:09:32,120 –> 00:09:35,120
\nLord is incomplete without
\nmention of this man. <\/p>\n

143
\n00:09:37,080 –> 00:09:40,520
\nBravely, Joseph went to the
\ngovernor and begged the body. <\/p>\n

144
\n00:09:40,520 –> 00:09:44,360
\nOf Jesus, what might Joseph have
\nsaid? <\/p>\n

145
\n00:09:44,840 –> 00:09:47,280
\nPerhaps he appealed to.
\nPilot’s evident guilt. <\/p>\n

146
\n00:09:48,800 –> 00:09:50,120
\nPerhaps there was money
\ninvolved. <\/p>\n

147
\n00:09:50,120 –> 00:09:54,160
\nHe was a rich man and Pilot was
\nclearly a man of dubious morals.<\/p>\n

148
\n00:09:55,200 –> 00:09:58,320
\nLikely it was just.
\nPersistence like that parable of<\/p>\n

149
\n00:09:58,360 –> 00:10:03,000
\nthe unjust judge humbling
\nhimself from his. <\/p>\n

150
\n00:10:03,000 –> 00:10:05,280
\nHigh Estate.
\nAs a member of the Sanhedrin and<\/p>\n

151
\n00:10:05,280 –> 00:10:07,680
\na rich man and grovelling and
\nscraping. <\/p>\n

152
\n00:10:07,680 –> 00:10:11,000
\nHe was a.
\nRich man had status used to <\/p>\n

153
\n00:10:11,000 –> 00:10:15,760
\nbeing a top in society but.
\nHe put all of that aside for the<\/p>\n

154
\n00:10:15,760 –> 00:10:19,840
\nbody of our Lord.
\nWhatever it was that he did, <\/p>\n

155
\n00:10:19,840 –> 00:10:23,440
\nJoseph left.
\nWith permission to take the body<\/p>\n

156
\n00:10:23,440 –> 00:10:29,360
\ndown and treat it with dignity
\nand love, consider for a moment <\/p>\n

157
\n00:10:29,360 –> 00:10:33,480
\nthe lesson of Joseph of
\nArimathea, a man who had <\/p>\n

158
\n00:10:33,480 –> 00:10:37,720
\neverything in this life.
\nHe was, he had power, he had <\/p>\n

159
\n00:10:37,720 –> 00:10:40,680
\nriches.
\nBut he risked that all for the. <\/p>\n

160
\n00:10:40,680 –> 00:10:42,000
\nLord, now he didn’t just.
\nRisk it. <\/p>\n

161
\n00:10:42,000 –> 00:10:46,680
\nHe gave it up.
\nLittle more needs to be said <\/p>\n

162
\n00:10:46,680 –> 00:10:48,320
\nthan that, but reflect on that
\nfor. <\/p>\n

163
\n00:10:48,320 –> 00:10:50,600
\nYourself.
\nWhere is the risk? <\/p>\n

164
\n00:10:51,040 –> 00:10:53,400
\nIn our lives?
\nOr have we hedged our <\/p>\n

165
\n00:10:53,400 –> 00:10:57,000
\ninvestments for our insurance,
\nbuild up our savings, and live <\/p>\n

166
\n00:10:57,000 –> 00:11:00,320
\nin a comfortable bubble waiting
\nfor someone else to associate <\/p>\n

167
\n00:11:00,320 –> 00:11:02,160
\nthemselves with the body of?
\nChrist. <\/p>\n

168
\n00:11:06,560 –> 00:11:10,520
\nAnd what does he do?
\nWith the body, he carefully <\/p>\n

169
\n00:11:10,520 –> 00:11:13,800
\nwraps it.
\nAnd lays it in a new tomb, a <\/p>\n

170
\n00:11:13,800 –> 00:11:17,400
\ntomb which, as Luke and John
\nsay, was a new tomb in which <\/p>\n

171
\n00:11:17,400 –> 00:11:20,160
\nnever man had laid.
\nOf course, no one had laid <\/p>\n

172
\n00:11:20,160 –> 00:11:20,800
\nthere.
\nBefore. <\/p>\n

173
\n00:11:21,160 –> 00:11:23,280
\nNo one had ever passed.
\nThe way Jesus was. <\/p>\n

174
\n00:11:23,280 –> 00:11:25,960
\nGoing to pass.
\nNo one had ever laid in a tomb <\/p>\n

175
\n00:11:25,960 –> 00:11:29,080
\nlike this, one that would soon
\neject it’s occupant unable. <\/p>\n

176
\n00:11:29,080 –> 00:11:32,200
\nTo hold it so filled with the
\npower and spirit of God as he <\/p>\n

177
\n00:11:32,200 –> 00:11:38,600
\nwas, but before that.
\nWe still observe the scene. <\/p>\n

178
\n00:11:39,680 –> 00:11:44,320
\nThe body laid.
\nThe last glance, the straining <\/p>\n

179
\n00:11:44,320 –> 00:11:48,720
\nagainst the stone, the dull
\nresonant boom as the. <\/p>\n

180
\n00:11:48,720 –> 00:11:51,840
\nGreat weight of the.
\nStone falls into place, sealing <\/p>\n

181
\n00:11:51,840 –> 00:11:55,920
\nthe entrance, the silent tears
\nstreaming from the eyes. <\/p>\n

182
\n00:11:55,920 –> 00:11:58,720
\nOf the watchers.
\nThose watchers? <\/p>\n

183
\n00:11:58,720 –> 00:12:02,280
\nWondering who are these
\nstrangers burying the. <\/p>\n

184
\n00:12:02,280 –> 00:12:06,760
\nBody of our Lord.
\nI can’t imagine a word was said <\/p>\n

185
\n00:12:06,760 –> 00:12:07,560
\nin that.
\nGarden. <\/p>\n

186
\n00:12:07,640 –> 00:12:11,120
\nWhat words would suffice?
\nIt was only confusion and. <\/p>\n

187
\n00:12:11,120 –> 00:12:13,880
\nGrief.
\nThe sort of grief that had. <\/p>\n

188
\n00:12:13,880 –> 00:12:16,120
\nShaken the earth and veiled the
\nsun. <\/p>\n

189
\n00:12:19,080 –> 00:12:21,240
\nWe aren’t the only ones to
\nobserve this scene. <\/p>\n

190
\n00:12:21,600 –> 00:12:23,400
\nJoseph wasn’t the only one
\npresent. <\/p>\n

191
\n00:12:23,680 –> 00:12:26,080
\nThere were certainly others at
\npresent there. <\/p>\n

192
\n00:12:26,080 –> 00:12:31,320
\nBut Matthew records only two
\nothers, both by the name of <\/p>\n

193
\n00:12:31,320 –> 00:12:34,160
\nMary.
\nVerse 61. <\/p>\n

194
\n00:12:34,320 –> 00:12:38,200
\nThere was Mary Magdalene and the
\nother Mary sitting over against <\/p>\n

195
\n00:12:38,200 –> 00:12:42,040
\nthe sepulchre.
\nMary Magdalene and the other <\/p>\n

196
\n00:12:42,040 –> 00:12:44,240
\nMary, the mother of Joseph and
\nJames. <\/p>\n

197
\n00:12:45,080 –> 00:12:49,360
\nMagdalene is an epithet to Mary
\nwhich means a watchtower, and <\/p>\n

198
\n00:12:49,360 –> 00:12:53,520
\nthis is what this Mary becomes
\nknown for, always being present,<\/p>\n

199
\n00:12:53,520 –> 00:12:56,680
\nwatching.
\nShe’s a reliable presence, a <\/p>\n

200
\n00:12:56,680 –> 00:12:59,320
\nstrong watchtower rising early
\nin the morning. <\/p>\n

201
\n00:12:59,560 –> 00:13:02,440
\nBefore it’s dark.
\nAlerting the other disciples <\/p>\n

202
\n00:13:02,440 –> 00:13:08,920
\nwhen something seems amiss.
\nMary the Watchtower So in this <\/p>\n

203
\n00:13:08,920 –> 00:13:15,240
\ntragic scene, Matthew presents
\njust two names at the death. <\/p>\n

204
\n00:13:15,240 –> 00:13:18,000
\nOf our Lord Jesus Christ,
\nJoseph. <\/p>\n

205
\n00:13:18,360 –> 00:13:24,480
\nAnd Mary witnesses to his birth,
\nwitnesses to his death. <\/p>\n

206
\n00:13:25,840 –> 00:13:30,760
\nHere Joseph takes the body.
\nWraps it in a clean linen cloth <\/p>\n

207
\n00:13:31,160 –> 00:13:34,600
\nand lays it tenderly in a new
\ntomb while Mary watches on. <\/p>\n

208
\n00:13:36,160 –> 00:13:37,880
\nWell, let’s visit Luke chapter
\n2. <\/p>\n

209
\n00:13:37,880 –> 00:13:40,480
\nLet’s.
\nLook through the window 33 1\/2. <\/p>\n

210
\n00:13:40,480 –> 00:13:43,840
\nYears earlier to see the.
\nBeginning of this life that has <\/p>\n

211
\n00:13:43,840 –> 00:13:59,280
\nended so horribly come to Luke
\nchapter 2 from verse. 4 Luke 2, <\/p>\n

212
\n00:13:59,280 –> 00:14:02,120
\nverse 4.
\nAnd Joseph also went up from <\/p>\n

213
\n00:14:02,120 –> 00:14:05,160
\nGalilee out of the city of
\nNazareth into Judea under the <\/p>\n

214
\n00:14:05,160 –> 00:14:06,560
\ncity.
\nOf David, which is called. <\/p>\n

215
\n00:14:06,560 –> 00:14:08,280
\nBethlehem.
\nBecause he was of the. <\/p>\n

216
\n00:14:08,280 –> 00:14:10,280
\nHouse and lineage of David.
\nTo be. <\/p>\n

217
\n00:14:10,280 –> 00:14:15,120
\nTaxed with Mary, his espoused
\nwife, being great with child and<\/p>\n

218
\n00:14:15,120 –> 00:14:17,040
\nso it.
\nWas that while they were there <\/p>\n

219
\n00:14:17,480 –> 00:14:19,720
\nthe the days were?
\nAccomplished that she should be <\/p>\n

220
\n00:14:19,720 –> 00:14:24,080
\ndelivered, and she brought forth
\nher first born son, and wrapped <\/p>\n

221
\n00:14:24,080 –> 00:14:30,440
\nhim in swaddling clothes, and
\nlaid him in a Manger, because <\/p>\n

222
\n00:14:30,440 –> 00:14:32,480
\nthere was no room for them in
\nthe inn. <\/p>\n

223
\n00:14:33,200 –> 00:14:36,120
\nAnd there were in the same
\ncountry shepherds abiding in the<\/p>\n

224
\n00:14:36,120 –> 00:14:38,480
\nfield, keeping watch over their
\nflock by night. <\/p>\n

225
\n00:14:39,160 –> 00:14:42,160
\nAnd lo, the Angel of the Lord
\ncame upon them, and the glory of<\/p>\n

226
\n00:14:42,160 –> 00:14:45,400
\nthe Lord shone round about them,
\nand they were sore afraid. <\/p>\n

227
\n00:14:47,640 –> 00:14:53,160
\nSo there Joseph laid the body.
\nIn a clean linen cloth in a in a<\/p>\n

228
\n00:14:53,160 –> 00:14:57,600
\nnew tomb here, Mary wraps the
\nfirst born son in swaddling <\/p>\n

229
\n00:14:57,600 –> 00:15:02,280
\nclothes and gently lays him in a
\nManger while Joseph looks on. <\/p>\n

230
\n00:15:03,360 –> 00:15:08,080
\nIt was Mary who brought this son
\ninto the world and and laid him <\/p>\n

231
\n00:15:08,080 –> 00:15:11,240
\nin a Manger, likely where no man
\nhad ever laid before. <\/p>\n

232
\n00:15:11,960 –> 00:15:14,320
\nAnd it’s Joseph who lays him to
\nrest at the end of his. <\/p>\n

233
\n00:15:14,320 –> 00:15:17,920
\nLife this.
\nSon was born at night and buried<\/p>\n

234
\n00:15:17,920 –> 00:15:20,480
\nat evening.
\nAt his birth, there would. <\/p>\n

235
\n00:15:20,480 –> 00:15:23,560
\nHave been all the usual sounds
\nof a newborn, the crying, the <\/p>\n

236
\n00:15:23,560 –> 00:15:29,560
\nrejoicing at his burial, only
\ntears and silence you can see <\/p>\n

237
\n00:15:30,240 –> 00:15:35,880
\nthere’s a similarity but a
\ncontrast and the. <\/p>\n

238
\n00:15:35,880 –> 00:15:39,280
\nBurial of this body was a blow
\nto the Jews. <\/p>\n

239
\n00:15:39,280 –> 00:15:43,200
\nPlans, this body now had been
\ntreated with dignity and <\/p>\n

240
\n00:15:43,200 –> 00:15:46,000
\nrespect, with care and love, but
\nit was only a minor one. <\/p>\n

241
\n00:15:46,600 –> 00:15:50,720
\nThey approached the governor and
\nsealed and secured the tomb. <\/p>\n

242
\n00:15:52,480 –> 00:15:58,080
\nPicture the futility of this.
\nScene The Lord is dead. <\/p>\n

243
\n00:15:59,120 –> 00:16:02,440
\nHe has ceased to exist, the one
\nwho was always there to. <\/p>\n

244
\n00:16:02,440 –> 00:16:06,880
\nCalm the storm to answer the
\nchallenging questions to comfort<\/p>\n

245
\n00:16:06,880 –> 00:16:08,800
\nthe mourner to.
\nHeal the. <\/p>\n

246
\n00:16:08,800 –> 00:16:11,880
\nBroken hearted, he’s no longer
\nthere. <\/p>\n

247
\n00:16:13,040 –> 00:16:16,880
\nIn their most confused and
\ndifficult state, they don’t have<\/p>\n

248
\n00:16:16,880 –> 00:16:19,560
\nthe one that.
\nIs there usually to solve their <\/p>\n

249
\n00:16:19,560 –> 00:16:22,320
\nproblems?
\nAnd obviously, the death. <\/p>\n

250
\n00:16:22,320 –> 00:16:24,880
\nOf the Lord is the.
\nBiggest thing in this chapter, <\/p>\n

251
\n00:16:25,120 –> 00:16:29,480
\nbut consider the other things in
\nMatthew chapter 27 that are. <\/p>\n

252
\n00:16:29,760 –> 00:16:32,280
\nAdded to show the.
\nHelplessness of the situation, <\/p>\n

253
\n00:16:32,960 –> 00:16:35,360
\nwell, he’s condemned as a
\ncriminal so that public <\/p>\n

254
\n00:16:35,360 –> 00:16:37,880
\nassociation with him will lead
\nto death. <\/p>\n

255
\n00:16:39,360 –> 00:16:42,720
\nJohn 19 verse 40 says that he’s
\nbeen wound in linen and this <\/p>\n

256
\n00:16:42,720 –> 00:16:44,360
\nword wound.
\nIs. <\/p>\n

257
\n00:16:44,840 –> 00:16:48,040
\nThe same as binding.
\nLike the man who was bound hand <\/p>\n

258
\n00:16:48,040 –> 00:16:50,120
\nand foot and cast into outer
\ndarkness. <\/p>\n

259
\n00:16:50,640 –> 00:16:54,240
\nHere he is bound in darkness,
\nunable to be freed, unable to <\/p>\n

260
\n00:16:54,240 –> 00:16:56,640
\nfree himself, bound hand and
\nfoot. <\/p>\n

261
\n00:16:58,080 –> 00:17:03,600
\nAnd then there’s the stone, the
\ngreat stone, The Monolithos. <\/p>\n

262
\n00:17:04,880 –> 00:17:08,440
\nHistorians tell us it could have
\ntaken 20 Roman soldiers to move <\/p>\n

263
\n00:17:08,440 –> 00:17:13,800
\na stone like that out of its
\nplace, and we might ask why, how<\/p>\n

264
\n00:17:13,800 –> 00:17:16,040
\nJoseph and Nicodemus could move
\nit into place. <\/p>\n

265
\n00:17:16,040 –> 00:17:18,520
\nWell, typically there was a
\nsmall depression in front of the<\/p>\n

266
\n00:17:18,520 –> 00:17:22,319
\ngrave, and moving it into place
\nwas significantly easier than <\/p>\n

267
\n00:17:22,319 –> 00:17:24,760
\nmoving it out of.
\nPlace at least. <\/p>\n

268
\n00:17:24,760 –> 00:17:29,880
\nFor a man, but this word
\nmonolithos, it’s a monolith. <\/p>\n

269
\n00:17:29,880 –> 00:17:32,480
\nIs a the sort?
\nOf thing that we typically look <\/p>\n

270
\n00:17:32,480 –> 00:17:35,560
\nat today and think.
\nHow did that get there? <\/p>\n

271
\n00:17:36,200 –> 00:17:40,240
\nThings like Stonehenge.
\nOr the Easter Island heads. <\/p>\n

272
\n00:17:42,400 –> 00:17:46,440
\nThey look immovable and that’s
\nwhat this stone is meant to look<\/p>\n

273
\n00:17:46,440 –> 00:17:50,360
\nlike, immovable.
\nAnd just to emphasize this in <\/p>\n

274
\n00:17:50,440 –> 00:17:55,920
\nMark chapter 16, verse 3, when
\nthe women are coming to the tomb<\/p>\n

275
\n00:17:56,640 –> 00:18:00,280
\non the first day of.
\nThe week they say, Who shall <\/p>\n

276
\n00:18:00,280 –> 00:18:02,600
\nroll away?
\nWho shall roll us away? <\/p>\n

277
\n00:18:02,600 –> 00:18:04,320
\nThe.
\nStone from the door. <\/p>\n

278
\n00:18:04,320 –> 00:18:07,880
\nOf the sepulchre.
\nThis was their major concern. <\/p>\n

279
\n00:18:08,160 –> 00:18:10,600
\nHow can we?
\nPossibly use these sweet spices.<\/p>\n

280
\n00:18:10,600 –> 00:18:14,960
\nWe’ve prepared on our Lord when
\nthis great stone is blocking <\/p>\n

281
\n00:18:14,960 –> 00:18:20,120
\naccess.
\nAnd then there’s the seal on the<\/p>\n

282
\n00:18:20,120 –> 00:18:24,520
\ntomb.
\nMatthew 27 verse. 66 says so <\/p>\n

283
\n00:18:24,520 –> 00:18:26,400
\nthey.
\nWent and made the sepulchre <\/p>\n

284
\n00:18:26,400 –> 00:18:30,320
\nshore, sealing the stone and
\nsetting a watch. <\/p>\n

285
\n00:18:31,000 –> 00:18:35,040
\nThis seal is illegal to break.
\nIt’s against the law of sin and <\/p>\n

286
\n00:18:35,040 –> 00:18:36,920
\ndeath in a sense.
\nTo break the. <\/p>\n

287
\n00:18:36,920 –> 00:18:42,760
\nSeal to this tomb and then.
\nThere’s the watch the Guard. <\/p>\n

288
\n00:18:43,960 –> 00:18:46,040
\nPreventing anyone from
\napproaching the tomb. <\/p>\n

289
\n00:18:46,640 –> 00:18:49,080
\nIt’s a futile.
\nScene from the inside out. <\/p>\n

290
\n00:18:49,480 –> 00:18:51,200
\nThe Lord is dead.
\nHe’s. <\/p>\n

291
\n00:18:51,200 –> 00:18:54,680
\nBound, unable to move.
\nThere’s this great immovable <\/p>\n

292
\n00:18:54,680 –> 00:18:56,160
\nstone.
\nThere’s a seal on the. <\/p>\n

293
\n00:18:56,160 –> 00:19:00,120
\nTube there are soldiers.
\nIt’s an impossible situation. <\/p>\n

294
\n00:19:00,280 –> 00:19:04,360
\nHow do we even get to the Lord?
\nIt’s impossible the way to. <\/p>\n

295
\n00:19:04,360 –> 00:19:09,760
\nThe Tree of life is barred.
\nEverything had gone to plan it. <\/p>\n

296
\n00:19:09,760 –> 00:19:13,680
\nSeems but.
\nAs we know, while this. <\/p>\n

297
\n00:19:13,680 –> 00:19:17,400
\nBurial was the.
\nEnd of a life it can also be <\/p>\n

298
\n00:19:17,400 –> 00:19:19,120
\nseen and it.
\nWas also the. <\/p>\n

299
\n00:19:19,120 –> 00:19:21,960
\nBeginning of a new one.
\nThis is the amazing. <\/p>\n

300
\n00:19:21,960 –> 00:19:25,000
\nBeauty of scriptures.
\nThat it can present a contrast <\/p>\n

301
\n00:19:25,000 –> 00:19:31,400
\nthat seems to be.
\nA reversal of Jesus birth to his<\/p>\n

302
\n00:19:31,400 –> 00:19:33,320
\ndeath.
\nYet there are. <\/p>\n

303
\n00:19:33,320 –> 00:19:36,640
\nSeeds here, seeds being planted
\nin the ground that are setting <\/p>\n

304
\n00:19:36,640 –> 00:19:40,600
\nup a new birth.
\nThe situation looked impossible.<\/p>\n

305
\n00:19:40,960 –> 00:19:42,920
\nBut with God all.
\nThings are possible. <\/p>\n

306
\n00:19:42,920 –> 00:19:45,600
\nIt’s exactly the point.
\nIt had to look impossible. <\/p>\n

307
\n00:19:46,080 –> 00:19:49,680
\nIt is impossible because man
\ncannot do it in. <\/p>\n

308
\n00:19:49,680 –> 00:19:52,680
\nDeath there is a hopeless.
\nFinality when we don’t consider <\/p>\n

309
\n00:19:52,680 –> 00:19:56,560
\nGod the Great Stone is
\nimpossible. <\/p>\n

310
\n00:19:57,040 –> 00:20:13,120
\nCome to Isaiah chapter 59,
\nIsaiah chapter 59 verse one, and<\/p>\n

311
\n00:20:13,120 –> 00:20:17,120
\nverse 2.
\nBehold, Yahweh’s hand is not <\/p>\n

312
\n00:20:17,120 –> 00:20:21,160
\nshortened that it cannot save,
\nneither is ear heavy that it <\/p>\n

313
\n00:20:21,160 –> 00:20:25,600
\ncannot hear, but your iniquities
\nhave separated between you and <\/p>\n

314
\n00:20:25,600 –> 00:20:28,520
\nyour God.
\nAnd your sins have hid his face <\/p>\n

315
\n00:20:28,520 –> 00:20:33,200
\nfrom you, that he will not hear.
\nThe great stone that separates <\/p>\n

316
\n00:20:33,200 –> 00:20:35,600
\nus.
\nFrom God, from life and <\/p>\n

317
\n00:20:35,600 –> 00:20:39,000
\npleasures for evermore is our
\niniquities. <\/p>\n

318
\n00:20:39,240 –> 00:20:42,200
\nIt’s our iniquities.
\nIt’s our sins that have hidden <\/p>\n

319
\n00:20:42,200 –> 00:20:46,360
\nGod’s face from us.
\nNotice that God never hid His <\/p>\n

320
\n00:20:46,360 –> 00:20:48,720
\nface from us.
\nIt’s our. <\/p>\n

321
\n00:20:48,760 –> 00:20:50,960
\nSins that have hidden God.
\n‘S face. <\/p>\n

322
\n00:20:51,360 –> 00:20:55,240
\nFrom us.
\nIt’s the object. <\/p>\n

323
\n00:20:55,240 –> 00:20:57,880
\nPerforming the action is our
\nsins. <\/p>\n

324
\n00:20:57,880 –> 00:21:00,000
\nYour sins have hid his face from
\nyou. <\/p>\n

325
\n00:21:01,080 –> 00:21:04,400
\nThe margin tries to make sense
\nof this by saying our sins have <\/p>\n

326
\n00:21:04,600 –> 00:21:08,480
\nmade him hide his face from us.
\nBut notice that that is not the <\/p>\n

327
\n00:21:08,480 –> 00:21:10,480
\noriginal.
\nThe Him is not in the original. <\/p>\n

328
\n00:21:10,480 –> 00:21:12,520
\nHe didn’t do this.
\nWe did. <\/p>\n

329
\n00:21:13,960 –> 00:21:16,840
\nWe hid his.
\nFace from us, but. <\/p>\n

330
\n00:21:16,840 –> 00:21:22,600
\nHe will resolve it.
\nThe verses that continue on here<\/p>\n

331
\n00:21:22,600 –> 00:21:26,760
\ndescribe terrible sins, but sins
\nthat were very fresh in the eyes<\/p>\n

332
\n00:21:26,760 –> 00:21:28,840
\nof God at the death of his sons.
\nThey. <\/p>\n

333
\n00:21:28,840 –> 00:21:33,400
\nDescribe the Jews to AT verse. 3
\nFor your hands are defiled with <\/p>\n

334
\n00:21:33,400 –> 00:21:35,160
\nblood, and your fingers with
\niniquity. <\/p>\n

335
\n00:21:35,600 –> 00:21:39,120
\nYour lips have spoken lies, your
\ntongues have, your tongue hath <\/p>\n

336
\n00:21:39,120 –> 00:21:43,560
\nmuttered perverseness.
\nNone calleth for justice, nor <\/p>\n

337
\n00:21:43,560 –> 00:21:45,280
\nany.
\nPleadeth for truth. <\/p>\n

338
\n00:21:46,360 –> 00:21:50,560
\nThis is exactly what has just.
\nHappened in the last day in <\/p>\n

339
\n00:21:50,560 –> 00:21:53,800
\nMatthew 27.
\nThey trust in vanity and speak. <\/p>\n

340
\n00:21:53,800 –> 00:21:56,120
\nLies.
\nThey conceive mischief and bring<\/p>\n

341
\n00:21:56,120 –> 00:21:59,320
\nforth iniquity.
\nThey hatch cockatrice eggs and <\/p>\n

342
\n00:21:59,320 –> 00:22:02,480
\nweave the spider.
\n‘S web he the eateth of their <\/p>\n

\n00:22:02,480 –> 00:22:03,840
\neggs.
\nDieth and that which is. <\/p>\n

344
\n00:22:03,840 –> 00:22:06,040
\nCrushed.
\nBreaketh out into a Viper. <\/p>\n

345
\n00:22:06,320 –> 00:22:08,840
\nTheir webs shall not become
\ngarments, neither shall they <\/p>\n

346
\n00:22:08,840 –> 00:22:11,280
\ncover themselves.
\nWith their works, their works <\/p>\n

347
\n00:22:11,280 –> 00:22:13,880
\nare works of.
\nIniquity and the act of violence<\/p>\n

348
\n00:22:13,880 –> 00:22:16,920
\nis in their hands.
\nTheir feet run to evil. <\/p>\n

349
\n00:22:16,920 –> 00:22:18,960
\nAnd they make haste to shed
\ninnocent blood. <\/p>\n

350
\n00:22:19,200 –> 00:22:21,600
\nTheir thoughts are thoughts of
\niniquity, wasting and <\/p>\n

351
\n00:22:21,600 –> 00:22:25,120
\ndestruction are in their.
\nPaths, the way of peace. <\/p>\n

352
\n00:22:25,120 –> 00:22:27,920
\nThey know not, and there is no
\njudgement in their goings. <\/p>\n

353
\n00:22:28,440 –> 00:22:31,600
\nThey have made them crooked.
\nPaths whosoever goeth. <\/p>\n

354
\n00:22:31,600 –> 00:22:34,440
\nTherein shall not know.
\nPeace. <\/p>\n

355
\n00:22:35,680 –> 00:22:40,760
\nThat’s the Jews, the Jewish
\nleaders, but. <\/p>\n

356
\n00:22:41,080 –> 00:22:45,000
\nThey shall not know peace, and
\nverse 9 and 10 describes the <\/p>\n

357
\n00:22:45,000 –> 00:22:47,760
\nsituation that we that we
\npainted a picture of. <\/p>\n

358
\n00:22:48,000 –> 00:22:51,760
\nAt the death of our Lord.
\nIt says that we stumble at <\/p>\n

359
\n00:22:51,760 –> 00:22:55,560
\nnoonday as in the night.
\nWe we wait for light, but behold<\/p>\n

360
\n00:22:55,560 –> 00:22:57,360
\nus obscurity.
\nThere’s there’s just. <\/p>\n

361
\n00:22:57,360 –> 00:23:01,280
\nDarkness when it seemed like the
\nlight was coming to the nation. <\/p>\n

362
\n00:23:01,640 –> 00:23:07,160
\nNow we are locked in that dark
\ntomb, unable to see out, unable <\/p>\n

363
\n00:23:07,160 –> 00:23:08,640
\nto get out.
\nBecause of that, great. <\/p>\n

364
\n00:23:08,640 –> 00:23:15,160
\nStone that resonating boom was
\nthe stone being shot on sin <\/p>\n

365
\n00:23:15,360 –> 00:23:17,880
\nsealed in place in the.
\nThat grave. <\/p>\n

366
\n00:23:17,880 –> 00:23:20,600
\nLay the old man, never to exit,
\nnever to escape. <\/p>\n

367
\n00:23:21,840 –> 00:23:23,760
\nBut it wasn’t shot on the Lord
\nJesus. <\/p>\n

368
\n00:23:23,760 –> 00:23:26,000
\nChrist, the stone was rolled
\nback. <\/p>\n

369
\n00:23:26,280 –> 00:23:30,320
\nIt was.
\nRolled back apicoolio to roll <\/p>\n

370
\n00:23:30,320 –> 00:23:33,000
\nback.
\nAnd with that stone, everything <\/p>\n

371
\n00:23:33,000 –> 00:23:34,800
\nit represents was.
\nRolled back. <\/p>\n

372
\n00:23:34,800 –> 00:23:38,560
\nSin, mortality, death, the
\ncurse. <\/p>\n

373
\n00:23:38,680 –> 00:23:40,960
\nRolled.
\nBack reversed. <\/p>\n

374
\n00:23:40,960 –> 00:23:46,680
\nUndone in Genesis 3, the.
\nWay to the tree of. <\/p>\n

375
\n00:23:46,680 –> 00:23:54,440
\nLife had been sealed and guarded
\nby angels, but here was an open <\/p>\n

376
\n00:23:54,440 –> 00:23:58,200
\ndoor in a garden, with an Angel
\nnot guarding the way, but <\/p>\n

377
\n00:23:58,200 –> 00:24:02,720
\nsitting on the door on the
\nstone, inviting Annie to pass. <\/p>\n

378
\n00:24:02,720 –> 00:24:05,240
\nThrough.
\nBut not the way that the women <\/p>\n

379
\n00:24:05,240 –> 00:24:08,200
\nand disciples were passing into
\ndeath. <\/p>\n

380
\n00:24:08,280 –> 00:24:11,280
\nRather the opposite.
\nThe invitation from this sitting<\/p>\n

381
\n00:24:11,280 –> 00:24:13,360
\nAngel was to come out.
\nCome out. <\/p>\n

382
\n00:24:13,360 –> 00:24:18,760
\nOf the grave, the tree of life.
\nWas in the garden the only thing<\/p>\n

383
\n00:24:19,120 –> 00:24:22,320
\nleft in the tomb?
\nWere the discarded clothes. <\/p>\n

384
\n00:24:22,320 –> 00:24:25,600
\nOf mortality, the fig leaf
\ncovering that could never have. <\/p>\n

385
\n00:24:25,680 –> 00:24:28,680
\nSaved.
\nThat’s what the disciples saw. <\/p>\n

386
\n00:24:28,760 –> 00:24:31,200
\nWhen they entered the tomb.
\nThe clothes. <\/p>\n

387
\n00:24:31,560 –> 00:24:35,880
\nMortality discarded, but now?
\nThe way, the truth. <\/p>\n

388
\n00:24:35,960 –> 00:24:39,840
\nAnd the life had emerged.
\nIt had been a new tomb wherein <\/p>\n

389
\n00:24:39,840 –> 00:24:42,560
\nnever man had laid, but now that
\none man. <\/p>\n

390
\n00:24:42,560 –> 00:24:45,080
\nHad broken the seal.
\nThe floodgates were open. <\/p>\n

391
\n00:24:45,600 –> 00:24:47,960
\nIt took just.
\nOne man to lay in that tomb and <\/p>\n

392
\n00:24:47,960 –> 00:24:49,680
\npave.
\nThe way for all to follow. <\/p>\n

393
\n00:24:50,400 –> 00:24:54,960
\nHe was the first fruits.
\nRomans 5 verse 18 says <\/p>\n

394
\n00:24:55,280 –> 00:24:56,600
\ntherefore.
\nAs by the. <\/p>\n

395
\n00:24:56,600 –> 00:24:59,640
\nOffence of 1.
\nJudgement came upon all men to <\/p>\n

396
\n00:24:59,640 –> 00:25:04,120
\ncondemnation, Even so by the
\nrighteousness of 1. <\/p>\n

397
\n00:25:04,840 –> 00:25:08,040
\nThe free gift?
\nCame upon all men unto the <\/p>\n

398
\n00:25:08,040 –> 00:25:16,040
\njustification of life, and that
\nis Isaiah 59 verse 16 and. <\/p>\n

399
\n00:25:16,040 –> 00:25:19,880
\nHe that is God saw.
\nThat there was no man, and <\/p>\n

\n00:25:19,880 –> 00:25:21,960
\nwondered that there was no
\nintercessor. <\/p>\n

401
\n00:25:22,440 –> 00:25:26,080
\nTherefore his arm brought
\nsalvation unto him, and his <\/p>\n

402
\n00:25:26,080 –> 00:25:29,080
\nrighteousness it it sustained
\nhim. <\/p>\n

403
\n00:25:29,800 –> 00:25:33,040
\nGod’s arm, the only arm that
\ncould have moved the stone. <\/p>\n

404
\n00:25:33,480 –> 00:25:36,560
\nBrought.
\nSalvation and Jesus exited the <\/p>\n

405
\n00:25:36,560 –> 00:25:40,080
\ntomb, reclosed, not bound with
\nmortality. <\/p>\n

406
\n00:25:40,080 –> 00:25:41,640
\nHe was loosed from that and
\nleft. <\/p>\n

407
\n00:25:41,640 –> 00:25:44,720
\nThose grave clothes.
\nNeatly in the tomb. <\/p>\n

408
\n00:25:45,040 –> 00:25:47,760
\nNo one need to be tangled up
\nwith the wrappings as they left <\/p>\n

409
\n00:25:47,760 –> 00:25:51,840
\nthe tomb they were placed.
\nTo the side, they’re off to the <\/p>\n

410
\n00:25:51,840 –> 00:25:53,120
\nside.
\nAs a reminder. <\/p>\n

411
\n00:25:53,160 –> 00:25:57,160
\nThat they had.
\nBeen conquered and the old man <\/p>\n

412
\n00:25:57,160 –> 00:26:01,000
\nin his garments remain in the
\ntomb instead. <\/p>\n

413
\n00:26:01,440 –> 00:26:04,800
\nOur Lord Jesus Christ.
\nIs reclothed and that’s verse 17<\/p>\n

414
\n00:26:04,800 –> 00:26:09,400
\nfor he put on righteousness as a
\nbreath breastplate and a helmet <\/p>\n

415
\n00:26:09,400 –> 00:26:13,080
\nof salvation upon his head and
\nhe put on the garments of <\/p>\n

416
\n00:26:13,080 –> 00:26:17,240
\nvengeance for clothing and was.
\nClad with zeal as a cloak, he’s <\/p>\n

417
\n00:26:17,240 –> 00:26:20,640
\nput off those old.
\nGarments and he’s reclothed <\/p>\n

418
\n00:26:22,840 –> 00:26:28,400
\nJoseph, the man, despite
\nstanding in to work the loving <\/p>\n

419
\n00:26:28,400 –> 00:26:34,520
\nwork of an ABBA to a dead son,
\nwas still a man he had been the <\/p>\n

420
\n00:26:34,520 –> 00:26:38,480
\n1:00 to.
\nProsculio to roll the stone to <\/p>\n

421
\n00:26:39,120 –> 00:26:43,000
\nthe door of the.
\nTomb, as had every man from Adam<\/p>\n

422
\n00:26:43,000 –> 00:26:45,440
\nonwards.
\nThey had rolled their. <\/p>\n

423
\n00:26:45,440 –> 00:26:50,000
\nSins and sealed themselves into
\ndeath, but the heavenly. <\/p>\n

424
\n00:26:50,000 –> 00:26:54,240
\nFather by the.
\nAction of One man apiculioed the<\/p>\n

425
\n00:26:54,240 –> 00:26:58,840
\nstone, rolled it.
\nBack to pass this way. <\/p>\n

426
\n00:26:59,280 –> 00:27:03,360
\nIs beyond the realm of.
\nPossibility without God, the <\/p>\n

427
\n00:27:03,360 –> 00:27:06,240
\nother past path.
\nInto the tomb is well. <\/p>\n

428
\n00:27:06,240 –> 00:27:10,520
\nTrodden.
\nIt’s the Broadway, both David <\/p>\n

429
\n00:27:10,520 –> 00:27:12,240
\nand Joshua said at.
\nThe end of their lives. <\/p>\n

430
\n00:27:12,280 –> 00:27:16,880
\nI go the way of all the earth.
\nJob said When a few years are <\/p>\n

431
\n00:27:16,880 –> 00:27:18,360
\ncome, I shall.
\nGo the way. <\/p>\n

432
\n00:27:18,600 –> 00:27:22,400
\nWhence I shall not return.
\nNo one goes the. <\/p>\n

433
\n00:27:22,400 –> 00:27:27,160
\nOther way?
\nUntil now, everything had <\/p>\n

434
\n00:27:27,160 –> 00:27:30,280
\nactually gone to plan to God’s
\nplan. <\/p>\n

435
\n00:27:34,520 –> 00:27:37,520
\nNow 1.
\nAside, a word of caution. <\/p>\n

436
\n00:27:37,520 –> 00:27:40,320
\nWe’ve seen the sins of.
\nThe Pharisees, but. <\/p>\n

437
\n00:27:40,320 –> 00:27:44,560
\nPerhaps their greatest sin was.
\nTo seal the. <\/p>\n

438
\n00:27:44,560 –> 00:27:50,400
\nStone and everything that
\nrepresented in Matthew 23 and <\/p>\n

439
\n00:27:50,520 –> 00:27:55,680
\nthroughout the ministry of our.
\nLord, he describes the Pharisees<\/p>\n

440
\n00:27:55,680 –> 00:27:57,040
\nas.
\nShutting up the Kingdom of <\/p>\n

441
\n00:27:57,040 –> 00:27:59,440
\nheaven against men, and they
\nliterally. <\/p>\n

442
\n00:27:59,440 –> 00:28:01,600
\nTried to do this by.
\nSealing the stone. <\/p>\n

443
\n00:28:02,720 –> 00:28:05,680
\nJust as the caribbeat guard to
\nthe way of the tree of life was.<\/p>\n

444
\n00:28:05,680 –> 00:28:09,800
\nStepping back, the Jews stepped
\nin and said no, we want no one <\/p>\n

445
\n00:28:09,800 –> 00:28:15,160
\ngoing that way.
\nThe dangers of setting a seal on<\/p>\n

446
\n00:28:15,160 –> 00:28:18,560
\nthe tomb of Christ on the way to
\nsalvation. <\/p>\n

447
\n00:28:19,680 –> 00:28:24,600
\nDo we do that?
\nDo we seal our lips and hide our<\/p>\n

448
\n00:28:24,600 –> 00:28:28,840
\nlight behind a great rock which
\nis immovable? <\/p>\n

449
\n00:28:30,240 –> 00:28:32,560
\nDo we hide our faith in?
\nPublic, or at least. <\/p>\n

450
\n00:28:32,560 –> 00:28:34,960
\nPut a lid on it to not be as.
\nAwkward. <\/p>\n

451
\n00:28:36,600 –> 00:28:38,480
\nDo we put?
\nStumbling blocks in the way of <\/p>\n

452
\n00:28:38,560 –> 00:28:43,400
\nour brothers and sisters by our
\nwords and actions and seal up <\/p>\n

453
\n00:28:43,400 –> 00:28:48,440
\nthe Kingdom of heaven.
\nDo we hoard and our time and <\/p>\n

454
\n00:28:48,440 –> 00:28:52,320
\nresources for ourselves and bury
\nour talent in the earth, hidden <\/p>\n

455
\n00:28:52,320 –> 00:28:55,320
\naway, trusting that it will be
\nacceptable with our Lord’s <\/p>\n

456
\n00:28:55,320 –> 00:28:58,440
\nreturn?
\nLet’s not seal the stone. <\/p>\n

457
\n00:28:59,040 –> 00:29:00,840
\nLet’s be able to echo the words
\nof. <\/p>\n

458
\n00:29:00,840 –> 00:29:06,320
\nPaul in first the Corinthians 11
\nverse 1 be followers of me, even<\/p>\n

459
\n00:29:06,320 –> 00:29:09,440
\nas I also am of Christ, leading
\nothers out of the tomb, <\/p>\n

460
\n00:29:09,440 –> 00:29:15,120
\nfollowing him that way.
\nThis whole story, as we’ve <\/p>\n

461
\n00:29:15,120 –> 00:29:19,720
\nalluded to, is a story.
\nOf new birth, of new creation. <\/p>\n

462
\n00:29:21,080 –> 00:29:23,480
\nAs was his usual.
\nCustom throughout his mortal <\/p>\n

463
\n00:29:23,480 –> 00:29:25,200
\nlife.
\nJesus rose. <\/p>\n

464
\n00:29:25,200 –> 00:29:30,400
\nEarly in the morning to perform
\nHis greatest work, a work of <\/p>\n

465
\n00:29:30,480 –> 00:29:34,880
\ncreation, new creation.
\nHe was the Sun of righteousness <\/p>\n

466
\n00:29:34,880 –> 00:29:39,080
\ndawning on a new world, and we
\nfollow the same process. <\/p>\n

467
\n00:29:39,680 –> 00:29:43,720
\nSecond, in Corinthians 5 verse
\n17 says if any man be in Christ,<\/p>\n

468
\n00:29:44,640 –> 00:29:48,800
\nhe is a new creature.
\nOld things are passed away. <\/p>\n

469
\n00:29:49,800 –> 00:29:54,920
\nAll things have become new.
\nCome to 1st Corinthians 15 where<\/p>\n

470
\n00:29:54,920 –> 00:29:56,280
\nwe read about.
\nOurselves. <\/p>\n

471
\n00:29:56,440 –> 00:30:16,620
\nFollowing the example of Christ
\nin First Corinthians 15 verse <\/p>\n

472
\n00:30:16,620 –> 00:30:20,420
\n20, now is Christ risen from the
\ndead and become the first fruits<\/p>\n

473
\n00:30:20,460 –> 00:30:23,700
\nof them that slept Christ.
\nIs the first. <\/p>\n

474
\n00:30:23,700 –> 00:30:25,300
\nFruits and come across to verse
\n30. <\/p>\n

475
\n00:30:25,300 –> 00:30:28,680
\nFive How’s this going to?
\nHappen, some men will say. <\/p>\n

476
\n00:30:28,680 –> 00:30:31,280
\nHow are the dead raised?
\nUp and with what body do they <\/p>\n

477
\n00:30:31,280 –> 00:30:34,800
\ncome thou?
\nFool that which thou sowest, <\/p>\n

478
\n00:30:35,360 –> 00:30:38,920
\nthat which thou sowest.
\nIs not quickened except it die. <\/p>\n

479
\n00:30:39,320 –> 00:30:41,800
\nAnd that which thou sowest, thou
\nsowest not that. <\/p>\n

480
\n00:30:41,800 –> 00:30:45,680
\nBody that shall be.
\nBut bare grain it may chance of <\/p>\n

481
\n00:30:45,680 –> 00:30:47,960
\nwheat or of some other grain,
\nbut God. <\/p>\n

482
\n00:30:47,960 –> 00:30:49,920
\nGiveth it a body as it hath.
\nPleased him. <\/p>\n

483
\n00:30:49,960 –> 00:30:55,240
\nAnd to every seed, his own body.
\nIt matters not that every cell <\/p>\n

484
\n00:30:55,440 –> 00:30:59,120
\nhas died and become dead.
\nInorganic matter. <\/p>\n

485
\n00:30:59,640 –> 00:31:02,640
\nIn fact, it’s necessary for new
\nlife. <\/p>\n

486
\n00:31:02,960 –> 00:31:07,560
\nThat the old life dies.
\nResurrection is not as simple as<\/p>\n

487
\n00:31:07,560 –> 00:31:10,280
\nreanimating a body.
\nEvery cell is rebuilt. <\/p>\n

488
\n00:31:10,280 –> 00:31:16,080
\nIt’s an entirely new man
\nphysically and in baptism we <\/p>\n

489
\n00:31:16,080 –> 00:31:19,080
\nimitated.
\nThat process here we all are. <\/p>\n

490
\n00:31:19,080 –> 00:31:23,680
\nNew men and new women, entirely
\nrebuilt and reanimated in <\/p>\n

491
\n00:31:23,680 –> 00:31:26,760
\nChrist.
\nOr are we? <\/p>\n

492
\n00:31:28,760 –> 00:31:30,920
\nDo we?
\nAllow influences from our. <\/p>\n

493
\n00:31:30,920 –> 00:31:32,920
\nPrevious way of life.
\nTo cling to us. <\/p>\n

494
\n00:31:35,360 –> 00:31:37,880
\nDo we?
\nAllow some cells from. <\/p>\n

495
\n00:31:38,080 –> 00:31:46,840
\nThe previous body to still.
\nLive inside us in John chapter <\/p>\n

496
\n00:31:46,840 –> 00:31:51,560
\n20 Mary the Magdalene the.
\nWatchtower was the 1st to see <\/p>\n

497
\n00:31:51,560 –> 00:31:53,480
\nJesus Christ after his.
\nResurrection. <\/p>\n

498
\n00:31:54,680 –> 00:31:57,480
\nAnd she thought.
\nHe was the gardener. <\/p>\n

499
\n00:31:57,760 –> 00:32:00,720
\nThat was her first thought.
\nIn a way. <\/p>\n

500
\n00:32:00,920 –> 00:32:04,880
\nThis is appropriate the 1st.
\nMan of the new creation was <\/p>\n

501
\n00:32:04,880 –> 00:32:08,160
\ngoing to be the one that would
\ntenderly look after these new <\/p>\n

502
\n00:32:08,160 –> 00:32:11,160
\nsprouting plants, these ones
\nthat have been buried in the <\/p>\n

503
\n00:32:11,160 –> 00:32:14,000
\nground as a seed and now sprout
\nup to new life. <\/p>\n

504
\n00:32:14,640 –> 00:32:16,400
\nJust like the first.
\nMan, Adam. <\/p>\n

505
\n00:32:16,600 –> 00:32:19,680
\nWas told to dress.
\nAnd keep the Garden of Eden. <\/p>\n

506
\n00:32:20,440 –> 00:32:24,400
\nSo she recognized his new role
\nthat completely missed the <\/p>\n

507
\n00:32:24,400 –> 00:32:29,680
\npersonal connection until he
\ncalled her name and his sheep <\/p>\n

508
\n00:32:29,680 –> 00:32:32,680
\nknow his voice.
\nInstantly she jumped to him to <\/p>\n

509
\n00:32:32,680 –> 00:32:36,600
\nhold him, to touch him, but he
\nwouldn’t allow it. <\/p>\n

510
\n00:32:38,080 –> 00:32:42,240
\nWhy?
\nWell, Mary had been heartbroken.<\/p>\n

511
\n00:32:43,000 –> 00:32:45,040
\nWhy did he not?
\nAllow her, she, she. <\/p>\n

512
\n00:32:45,040 –> 00:32:48,400
\nMissed her beloved desperately.
\nShe couldn’t understand what had<\/p>\n

513
\n00:32:48,400 –> 00:32:51,040
\nhappened.
\nYet in that moment when she <\/p>\n

514
\n00:32:51,040 –> 00:32:53,960
\nrealized and wanted to seize and
\nto hold her bridegroom, she <\/p>\n

515
\n00:32:53,960 –> 00:32:56,880
\ncouldn’t.
\nWhy would he not allow that? <\/p>\n

516
\n00:32:59,640 –> 00:33:03,600
\nWell, we find ourselves in the
\nsame state. <\/p>\n

517
\n00:33:05,680 –> 00:33:09,520
\nWe are rebirthed.
\nWe are new creatures in baptism.<\/p>\n

518
\n00:33:09,520 –> 00:33:12,240
\nWe have imitated the process of
\ndeath in the ground and <\/p>\n

519
\n00:33:12,600 –> 00:33:16,200
\nresurrection of the sprout body,
\nbut we have not yet ascended. <\/p>\n

520
\n00:33:16,400 –> 00:33:19,120
\nTo our Father, because that’s
\nwhat Christ replied. <\/p>\n

521
\n00:33:19,440 –> 00:33:23,240
\nHe says in the ESV, do not cling
\nto me, for I have not yet <\/p>\n

522
\n00:33:23,240 –> 00:33:27,680
\nascended to my to the Father,
\nbut go to my brothers and say to<\/p>\n

523
\n00:33:27,680 –> 00:33:31,560
\nthem, I am ascending to my
\nFather, and to your Father, to <\/p>\n

524
\n00:33:31,560 –> 00:33:36,120
\nmy God and to your God we have
\nnot yet ascended. <\/p>\n

525
\n00:33:36,200 –> 00:33:38,960
\nTo our Father we have rebirthed.
\nWe have. <\/p>\n

526
\n00:33:38,960 –> 00:33:43,760
\nExited the tomb in baptism, but
\nwe have not yet ascended to the <\/p>\n

527
\n00:33:43,760 –> 00:33:47,720
\nFather, and a day is coming when
\nwe will be like Him, but in the <\/p>\n

528
\n00:33:47,720 –> 00:33:49,760
\nmeantime we cannot.
\nLet the old way of. <\/p>\n

529
\n00:33:49,760 –> 00:33:54,480
\nLife cling to us, those old
\ncells cling to us in fact, we <\/p>\n

530
\n00:33:54,480 –> 00:33:57,160
\ncan’t let the.
\nOld way of life touch us at all?<\/p>\n

531
\n00:33:58,040 –> 00:34:01,120
\nAnd at times I feel like I’m
\ndragging a. <\/p>\n

532
\n00:34:01,120 –> 00:34:04,280
\nWhole world’s worth.
\nOf things with me out of the <\/p>\n

533
\n00:34:04,280 –> 00:34:07,880
\ntomb that are attached to me.
\nAnd maybe you feel the same. <\/p>\n

534
\n00:34:08,639 –> 00:34:11,480
\nWhat are the things of the past?
\nWay of death that you’re. <\/p>\n

535
\n00:34:11,480 –> 00:34:16,840
\nTrying to fit past that stone
\nand bring with you remember that<\/p>\n

536
\n00:34:16,840 –> 00:34:21,280
\nJohn It says he had to stoop
\ndown to see into the tomb the <\/p>\n

537
\n00:34:21,280 –> 00:34:24,719
\nstole the stone may be rolled
\nback, but it isn’t a. <\/p>\n

538
\n00:34:24,719 –> 00:34:29,360
\nWide, easy door to pass through.
\nYou can’t bring your camel with <\/p>\n

539
\n00:34:29,360 –> 00:34:33,760
\nyou.
\nYou come out of this tomb, out <\/p>\n

540
\n00:34:33,760 –> 00:34:37,159
\nof the womb of the earth, a new
\nbirth with nothing, just like <\/p>\n

541
\n00:34:37,159 –> 00:34:41,560
\nany birth the Son of Man had.
\nNowhere to lay his head. <\/p>\n

542
\n00:34:42,560 –> 00:34:45,159
\nHe didn’t accumulate material
\npossessions. <\/p>\n

543
\n00:34:46,120 –> 00:34:50,920
\nEven the place he laid his head
\nin death belonged to another, to<\/p>\n

544
\n00:34:50,920 –> 00:34:55,480
\na rich man, Joseph.
\nAnd Joseph too understood this. <\/p>\n

545
\n00:34:55,480 –> 00:34:57,800
\nHe left behind all his worldly
\nconcerns. <\/p>\n

546
\n00:34:57,960 –> 00:35:01,760
\nAbout worldly wealth to.
\nFollow his Lord. <\/p>\n

547
\n00:35:03,160 –> 00:35:06,320
\nMaterial possessions aren’t the
\nonly things that we may try to <\/p>\n

548
\n00:35:06,320 –> 00:35:07,200
\ndrag.
\nWith us. <\/p>\n

549
\n00:35:07,600 –> 00:35:11,840
\nMaybe it’s entertainment,
\nfulfilment, career, comfort. <\/p>\n

550
\n00:35:12,520 –> 00:35:15,680
\nSometimes we try try to drag the
\nstone itself. <\/p>\n

551
\n00:35:15,680 –> 00:35:20,920
\nOur sins of pride, laziness,
\nhatred, lust, gossiping, lying, <\/p>\n

552
\n00:35:20,920 –> 00:35:25,800
\nand much more that stone was.
\nRolled back by God. <\/p>\n

553
\n00:35:26,600 –> 00:35:30,800
\nBut remember, it took just one
\nman to roll it into place in our<\/p>\n

554
\n00:35:30,800 –> 00:35:32,440
\nlives.
\nWe could be so busy. <\/p>\n

555
\n00:35:33,040 –> 00:35:35,920
\nDipping back into the tomb to
\nget one more thing from the old.<\/p>\n

556
\n00:35:35,920 –> 00:35:39,720
\nWay of life.
\nThat we bump the great stone, <\/p>\n

557
\n00:35:39,720 –> 00:35:42,400
\nour sins roll down into the
\nsmall depression in front of the<\/p>\n

558
\n00:35:42,400 –> 00:35:45,640
\ndoor, and we block ourselves in
\nthe door being shut. <\/p>\n

559
\n00:35:45,640 –> 00:35:50,200
\nTo us at Christ’s.
\nReturn in the words of the <\/p>\n

560
\n00:35:50,200 –> 00:35:52,600
\nAngel.
\nWhy do you seek the? <\/p>\n

561
\n00:35:52,600 –> 00:35:56,680
\nLiving among the.
\nDead God has. <\/p>\n

562
\n00:35:56,680 –> 00:36:00,080
\nOpened the way the tomb is void,
\nyou’ll find nothing but <\/p>\n

563
\n00:36:00,080 –> 00:36:02,120
\nuncreation there.
\nThe. <\/p>\n

564
\n00:36:02,120 –> 00:36:07,280
\nOpposite of Christ’s birth.
\nBut even before our Lord’s <\/p>\n

565
\n00:36:07,280 –> 00:36:12,200
\nreturn, we may find ourselves
\nback in the tomb, in the grave, <\/p>\n

566
\n00:36:12,200 –> 00:36:17,800
\nin darkness, unsure of where to
\nturn in that movement. <\/p>\n

567
\n00:36:18,800 –> 00:36:24,080
\nWhen you can’t see anything, you
\nhave other senses take. <\/p>\n

568
\n00:36:24,080 –> 00:36:26,280
\nA breath.
\nTake a deep. <\/p>\n

569
\n00:36:26,280 –> 00:36:29,520
\nBreath through your nose and
\neven with. <\/p>\n

570
\n00:36:29,520 –> 00:36:32,200
\nThe lack of light.
\nYou’ll detect something. <\/p>\n

571
\n00:36:32,680 –> 00:36:55,280
\nCome to John chapter 19, verse
\n39. 1st from verse 38 first and <\/p>\n

572
\n00:36:55,280 –> 00:36:56,920
\nafter.
\nThis Joseph of Arimathea. <\/p>\n

573
\n00:36:56,920 –> 00:36:59,520
\nBeing a disciple.
\nOf Jesus, but secretly, for fear<\/p>\n

574
\n00:36:59,520 –> 00:37:02,080
\nof the Jews besought.
\nPilate that he might take. <\/p>\n

575
\n00:37:02,080 –> 00:37:05,320
\nAway the body of Jesus.
\nAnd Pilate gave him leave. <\/p>\n

576
\n00:37:06,000 –> 00:37:08,360
\nHe came, therefore, and took.
\nThe body of Jesus. <\/p>\n

577
\n00:37:09,120 –> 00:37:10,560
\nThere was another.
\nThere as well. <\/p>\n

578
\n00:37:11,040 –> 00:37:13,800
\nAnd there came also Nicodemus.
\nWhich at the 1st. <\/p>\n

579
\n00:37:13,800 –> 00:37:17,480
\nCame to Jesus by night and
\nbrought a mixture of myrrh and <\/p>\n

580
\n00:37:17,480 –> 00:37:20,840
\naloes, about 100 LB weight and
\nthen they. <\/p>\n

581
\n00:37:20,840 –> 00:37:23,040
\nTook the body of Jesus.
\nAnd wound it in linen. <\/p>\n

582
\n00:37:23,040 –> 00:37:25,720
\nClothes with those spices.
\nAs the manner of. <\/p>\n

583
\n00:37:25,720 –> 00:37:30,280
\nThe juiciest to bury, So there’s
\na very. <\/p>\n

584
\n00:37:30,280 –> 00:37:34,880
\nStrong smell in this tomb.
\nWhat an unspoken contrast rather<\/p>\n

585
\n00:37:34,880 –> 00:37:37,160
\nthan the horrible stench of
\nGehenna. <\/p>\n

586
\n00:37:37,440 –> 00:37:39,840
\nThat Jesus body would have.
\nBeen thrown onto. <\/p>\n

587
\n00:37:39,840 –> 00:37:43,400
\nWould have been added to if it
\nweren’t for these two noble men.<\/p>\n

588
\n00:37:44,440 –> 00:37:46,000
\nThey prepare.
\nThe body in a way. <\/p>\n

589
\n00:37:46,000 –> 00:37:49,240
\nThat gives off a powerful.
\nAroma befitting the Son of God. <\/p>\n

590
\n00:37:49,760 –> 00:37:51,840
\nWhose life?
\nRose as a sweet smelling. <\/p>\n

591
\n00:37:51,840 –> 00:37:55,920
\nSavour to his father.
\nSmells have a powerful <\/p>\n

592
\n00:37:55,920 –> 00:37:58,760
\nassociation that can trigger
\nmemories from long ago. <\/p>\n

593
\n00:38:00,080 –> 00:38:04,640
\nGod is not forget, but at least
\nfor us, this smell of sweet <\/p>\n

594
\n00:38:04,640 –> 00:38:08,240
\nspices triggers.
\nThe memory of the first time a <\/p>\n

595
\n00:38:08,240 –> 00:38:10,800
\nsweet smelling saver ever rose
\nin the nostrils. <\/p>\n

596
\n00:38:10,800 –> 00:38:14,840
\nOf our God.
\nIt was in Genesis 8 verse 21. <\/p>\n

597
\n00:38:15,840 –> 00:38:18,800
\nNow we don’t have time to deal
\nwith it in any detail. <\/p>\n

598
\n00:38:18,800 –> 00:38:21,880
\nBut the flood?
\nAgain, is another picture of <\/p>\n

599
\n00:38:21,880 –> 00:38:25,320
\nthis exact event.
\nIt uses language of creation of <\/p>\n

600
\n00:38:25,320 –> 00:38:28,440
\nnew creation.
\nFirst reversal by. <\/p>\n

601
\n00:38:28,440 –> 00:38:32,560
\nCovering everything with water
\nand then a new creation as the <\/p>\n

602
\n00:38:32,560 –> 00:38:37,480
\nwaters receded.
\nAnd Genesis 8 verse 21 says that<\/p>\n

603
\n00:38:38,520 –> 00:38:42,320
\nYahweh smelled a sweet savour
\nwhen Noah offered an offering. <\/p>\n

604
\n00:38:43,000 –> 00:38:46,920
\nAnd Yahweh said in his heart, I
\nwill not again curse the ground <\/p>\n

605
\n00:38:46,920 –> 00:38:49,280
\nanymore for man’s.
\nSake for the. <\/p>\n

606
\n00:38:49,280 –> 00:38:51,920
\nImagination of man’s heart is
\nevil from his youth. <\/p>\n

607
\n00:38:52,320 –> 00:38:55,520
\nNeither will I again smite
\nanymore every living thing as I <\/p>\n

608
\n00:38:55,520 –> 00:39:00,680
\nhave done.
\nSo like the Great Stone, this <\/p>\n

609
\n00:39:00,800 –> 00:39:04,280
\nthese waters receded.
\nAnd God rolled it back, and he <\/p>\n

610
\n00:39:04,280 –> 00:39:06,080
\nrolled.
\nBack part of the curse here as <\/p>\n

611
\n00:39:06,080 –> 00:39:08,200
\nwell, he said.
\nHe will no more curse the ground<\/p>\n

612
\n00:39:08,440 –> 00:39:12,520
\nfor man’s sake.
\nAnd over and over and over again<\/p>\n

613
\n00:39:12,520 –> 00:39:16,000
\nthroughout Scripture, we get
\nthis principle of God rolling <\/p>\n

614
\n00:39:16,000 –> 00:39:16,960
\nback the.
\nCurse. <\/p>\n

615
\n00:39:16,960 –> 00:39:19,200
\nRolling everything back.
\nRolling back. <\/p>\n

616
\n00:39:19,200 –> 00:39:21,480
\nSins.
\nJust a quick survey. <\/p>\n

617
\n00:39:21,760 –> 00:39:25,240
\nIn Genesis 29, the first time a
\ngreat stone is mentioned in the <\/p>\n

618
\n00:39:25,240 –> 00:39:27,880
\nBible.
\nJacob rolls it back to provide <\/p>\n

619
\n00:39:27,880 –> 00:39:30,880
\nwater for the sheep, just as
\nChrist. <\/p>\n

620
\n00:39:30,920 –> 00:39:34,560
\nAt Jacob’s well in Samaria said
\nthat he could give to drink of <\/p>\n

621
\n00:39:34,560 –> 00:39:37,240
\nliving water which you’d never
\nthirst again. <\/p>\n

622
\n00:39:38,200 –> 00:39:41,560
\nChrist was that rock.
\nIn the wilderness out of which <\/p>\n

623
\n00:39:41,560 –> 00:39:45,560
\ncame living water in.
\nJoshua, the waters were rolled. <\/p>\n

624
\n00:39:45,560 –> 00:39:49,640
\nBack and Gilgal, meaning to roll
\nlike a stone, was named. <\/p>\n

625
\n00:39:49,640 –> 00:39:54,440
\nSo because God had rolled away
\nthe reproaches of Egypt from <\/p>\n

626
\n00:39:54,440 –> 00:39:57,040
\noff.
\nThem those sins that they were <\/p>\n

627
\n00:39:57,040 –> 00:40:00,840
\nleaving behind in Egypt, God had
\neven said to Jesus. <\/p>\n

628
\n00:40:00,840 –> 00:40:03,040
\nAt the start that.
\nYou have not. <\/p>\n

629
\n00:40:03,040 –> 00:40:06,560
\nPassed this way heretofore he
\nsaid that before they crossed <\/p>\n

630
\n00:40:06,560 –> 00:40:08,560
\nthe River Jordan.
\nWell, no one had. <\/p>\n

631
\n00:40:08,960 –> 00:40:11,400
\nIt was a new tomb in which never
\nman had laid. <\/p>\n

632
\n00:40:11,400 –> 00:40:13,240
\nNo one had come out of here
\nbefore. <\/p>\n

633
\n00:40:15,000 –> 00:40:18,520
\nAnd also in Joshua, the great
\nstones were stacked on the mouth<\/p>\n

634
\n00:40:18,520 –> 00:40:21,520
\nof The Cave containing the five
\nkings, and those stones remain <\/p>\n

635
\n00:40:21,520 –> 00:40:26,760
\nuntil this day because of the
\nfive king, because the five <\/p>\n

636
\n00:40:26,760 –> 00:40:28,800
\nkings were still.
\nThere they are. <\/p>\n

637
\n00:40:29,160 –> 00:40:30,800
\nThey.
\nRepresent sin and death <\/p>\n

638
\n00:40:31,200 –> 00:40:34,160
\nremaining in the grave.
\nIt’s only the living that emerge<\/p>\n

639
\n00:40:35,920 –> 00:40:39,320
\neverything in the scriptures.
\nIs about is. <\/p>\n

640
\n00:40:39,440 –> 00:40:41,200
\nLeading up to this point of
\nrolling. <\/p>\n

641
\n00:40:41,200 –> 00:40:44,160
\nBack the curse.
\nEven the reversal of the sun in <\/p>\n

642
\n00:40:44,160 –> 00:40:45,320
\nthe.
\nDays of Hezekiah. <\/p>\n

643
\n00:40:45,560 –> 00:40:49,440
\nIt returned, undoing the 10
\nsteps that had gone down in the <\/p>\n

644
\n00:40:49,440 –> 00:40:53,120
\ndial of Ahaz, reversing the
\ndamage of the previous king and <\/p>\n

645
\n00:40:53,120 –> 00:40:56,400
\ngranting new life to the
\nterminally ill Hezekiah. <\/p>\n

646
\n00:40:57,200 –> 00:41:02,240
\nAgain and again we get this
\nimage of rolling back reversing,<\/p>\n

647
\n00:41:03,520 –> 00:41:04,920
\nbut it was merely a.
\nShadow of. <\/p>\n

648
\n00:41:05,360 –> 00:41:08,240
\nWhat was to come?
\nPerhaps there was a? <\/p>\n

649
\n00:41:08,240 –> 00:41:11,320
\nSliver of light.
\nEach time as the as the stone is<\/p>\n

650
\n00:41:11,640 –> 00:41:17,200
\nmoved, but then it would fall
\nback into its place early in the<\/p>\n

651
\n00:41:17,200 –> 00:41:22,200
\nmorning though on the.
\nFirst day of the week, The 8th <\/p>\n

652
\n00:41:22,200 –> 00:41:23,160
\nday.
\nThe day. <\/p>\n

653
\n00:41:23,160 –> 00:41:25,680
\nOf new creation.
\nThe stone was rolled back. <\/p>\n

654
\n00:41:25,680 –> 00:41:27,880
\nFor good.
\nSo if you’re there. <\/p>\n

655
\n00:41:27,880 –> 00:41:33,160
\nIn the tomb, seeking the living
\namong the dead, Smell the spices<\/p>\n

656
\n00:41:33,720 –> 00:41:36,640
\nand remember that Jesus.
\nChrist was there first. <\/p>\n

657
\n00:41:36,920 –> 00:41:38,960
\nRemember that the stone was
\nrolled back. <\/p>\n

658
\n00:41:38,960 –> 00:41:40,480
\nRemember that.
\nFor 6000. <\/p>\n

659
\n00:41:40,480 –> 00:41:43,640
\nYears God has been working.
\nTo roll back the curse. <\/p>\n

660
\n00:41:43,640 –> 00:41:47,400
\nAnd it’s there through every.
\nPage of Scripture to reverse the<\/p>\n

661
\n00:41:47,400 –> 00:41:50,160
\nfool.
\nTo make the new, to make a new <\/p>\n

662
\n00:41:50,160 –> 00:41:53,800
\ncreation.
\nHe does not desire to smite <\/p>\n

663
\n00:41:53,800 –> 00:41:58,320
\nevery living thing again.
\nRather to save them so. <\/p>\n

664
\n00:41:58,320 –> 00:42:01,840
\nDon’t stay in the tomb.
\nTrust that God. <\/p>\n

665
\n00:42:02,640 –> 00:42:05,200
\nWants to save and turn around
\nand. <\/p>\n

666
\n00:42:05,200 –> 00:42:10,440
\nFollow Jesus Christ out of it.
\nThe only time in the New <\/p>\n

667
\n00:42:10,440 –> 00:42:14,440
\nTestament that another
\nmonolithos a great stone is <\/p>\n

668
\n00:42:14,440 –> 00:42:19,080
\nmentioned is in Revelation 18
\nverse 21, when a mighty Angel <\/p>\n

669
\n00:42:19,080 –> 00:42:22,600
\ntook up a stone like a great
\nmillstone and threw it into the <\/p>\n

670
\n00:42:22,600 –> 00:42:26,120
\nsea, saying so will.
\nBabylon the great city be. <\/p>\n

671
\n00:42:26,120 –> 00:42:28,480
\nThrown down with violence and be
\nfound no more. <\/p>\n

672
\n00:42:30,480 –> 00:42:33,240
\nIt takes faith.
\nTo believe that God. <\/p>\n

673
\n00:42:33,240 –> 00:42:37,040
\nCan move the stone that God can
\ncastaway our sins into the <\/p>\n

674
\n00:42:37,040 –> 00:42:39,040
\ndepths.
\nOf the sea, but that’s exactly <\/p>\n

675
\n00:42:39,040 –> 00:42:43,000
\nwhat he.
\nDoes it is unfaithful to think <\/p>\n

676
\n00:42:43,200 –> 00:42:45,880
\nthat our sins have still
\nseparated us from God? <\/p>\n

677
\n00:42:46,400 –> 00:42:49,480
\nIt’s lack of faith.
\nIn the sacrifice of. <\/p>\n

678
\n00:42:49,480 –> 00:42:53,160
\nChrist to let our failures.
\nPrevent us from approaching him <\/p>\n

679
\n00:42:53,160 –> 00:42:56,800
\ndaily.
\nIt’s lack of faith to actually <\/p>\n

680
\n00:42:56,800 –> 00:42:59,080
\nsee what the picture.
\nI painted earlier to think that <\/p>\n

681
\n00:42:59,080 –> 00:43:02,400
\nthe stone ever can roll back
\ntoward the tomb again. <\/p>\n

682
\n00:43:02,800 –> 00:43:06,440
\nTo think that Christ’s death and
\nresurrection cannot save you or <\/p>\n

683
\n00:43:06,440 –> 00:43:08,160
\nforgive your sins.
\nWhat’s so? <\/p>\n

684
\n00:43:08,160 –> 00:43:10,000
\nSpecial about you, that God.
\n‘S plan. <\/p>\n

685
\n00:43:10,000 –> 00:43:16,880
\nCouldn’t work for you or.
\nFor anyone, even faith as a <\/p>\n

686
\n00:43:16,880 –> 00:43:24,480
\ngrain of mustard seed can do it.
\nAnd there are certain sins in <\/p>\n

687
\n00:43:24,480 –> 00:43:27,600
\nour life, certain ailments of
\nthe flesh, that are the kind <\/p>\n

688
\n00:43:27,600 –> 00:43:32,160
\nthat only comes out by prayer
\nand fasting, as as Jesus said <\/p>\n

689
\n00:43:32,160 –> 00:43:34,280
\nwhen.
\nThe disciples failed to heal. <\/p>\n

690
\n00:43:34,280 –> 00:43:38,680
\nThis violent demoniac by.
\nPrayer to God and. <\/p>\n

691
\n00:43:38,680 –> 00:43:42,720
\nReading the word fasting from
\nnatural food and eating of the <\/p>\n

692
\n00:43:42,720 –> 00:43:47,120
\nbread of heaven, but in that
\nsame context. <\/p>\n

693
\n00:43:47,280 –> 00:43:50,240
\nJesus says if you have faith.
\nAs a grain of mustard. <\/p>\n

694
\n00:43:50,240 –> 00:43:53,200
\nSeed.
\nYou can say to this mountain not<\/p>\n

695
\n00:43:53,200 –> 00:43:57,120
\njust a great stone, to this
\nmountain remove hence to Yonder <\/p>\n

696
\n00:43:57,120 –> 00:44:01,560
\nplace, and it shall remove.
\nSins may feel like mountains. <\/p>\n

697
\n00:44:02,400 –> 00:44:04,960
\nBut trust that God.
\nCan and that he has. <\/p>\n

698
\n00:44:04,960 –> 00:44:08,560
\nPaved the way to life.
\nDespite our mortality and <\/p>\n

699
\n00:44:08,560 –> 00:44:15,120
\nweaknesses, it looked impossible
\nthat anyone could enter or exit <\/p>\n

700
\n00:44:15,120 –> 00:44:17,800
\nthat tomb but God.
\nDid it? <\/p>\n

701
\n00:44:18,320 –> 00:44:20,200
\nHe can reanimate a dead.
\nBody. <\/p>\n

702
\n00:44:20,560 –> 00:44:23,520
\nHe can certainly cleanse your
\nsins and reanimate your <\/p>\n

703
\n00:44:23,520 –> 00:44:27,600
\nspiritual body, and this isn’t
\nsomething we. <\/p>\n

704
\n00:44:27,600 –> 00:44:30,520
\nShould reserve.
\nSimply for a Sunday morning. <\/p>\n

705
\n00:44:31,320 –> 00:44:34,120
\nNor should we ask again for sins
\nthat are already forgiven. <\/p>\n

706
\n00:44:34,120 –> 00:44:35,920
\nTrust that God has.
\nForgiven if you’ve. <\/p>\n

707
\n00:44:35,920 –> 00:44:39,080
\nAsked that throughout the week,
\nbut it’s especially powerful. <\/p>\n

708
\n00:44:39,080 –> 00:44:42,400
\nTo remember that here here on
\nthe. <\/p>\n

709
\n00:44:42,400 –> 00:44:46,600
\nFirst day of the week.
\nNearly 2000. <\/p>\n

710
\n00:44:46,600 –> 00:44:48,880
\nYears after the great.
\nStone was rolled back. <\/p>\n

711
\n00:44:50,080 –> 00:44:52,400
\nHere we are remembering the body
\nof our. <\/p>\n

712
\n00:44:52,400 –> 00:44:56,640
\nLord, that was laid.
\nGently in the tomb and the wine,<\/p>\n

713
\n00:44:57,440 –> 00:45:00,480
\nthe wine that our Lord will
\ndrink with us in the Kingdom. <\/p>\n

714
\n00:45:01,920 –> 00:45:07,000
\nApproach the Father with prayer.
\nAnd fasting allow him to roll <\/p>\n

715
\n00:45:07,000 –> 00:45:08,960
\nthe sins away and cast them into
\nthe. <\/p>\n

716
\n00:45:08,960 –> 00:45:11,360
\nDepths of the sea as far as
\neast. <\/p>\n

717
\n00:45:11,360 –> 00:45:17,000
\nFrom West as far as the sun
\nrising on the Day of <\/p>\n

718
\n00:45:17,000 –> 00:45:21,000
\nresurrection in the east.
\nFrom the sun setting on the day <\/p>\n

719
\n00:45:21,000 –> 00:45:26,400
\nof crucifixion in the West, it’s
\nmidday on the. <\/p>\n

720
\n00:45:26,400 –> 00:45:29,840
\nFirst day of the week.
\nAnd we’re here because very <\/p>\n

721
\n00:45:29,840 –> 00:45:32,240
\nearly in the morning on another.
\nFirst day of the week. <\/p>\n

722
\n00:45:32,480 –> 00:45:37,400
\nBefore the sun had risen, the
\ngreatest of miracles occurred. <\/p>\n

723
\n00:45:38,000 –> 00:45:41,960
\nThe reversal of the curse the.
\nResurrection of Jesus Christ. <\/p>\n

724
\n00:45:42,840 –> 00:45:45,920
\nThat event changed the world.
\nIt was the hinge around. <\/p>\n

725
\n00:45:45,920 –> 00:45:49,000
\nWhich the world pivots.
\nIt was everything that the <\/p>\n

726
\n00:45:49,000 –> 00:45:52,840
\nprevious 4000 years had been
\nbuilding up to and the start of <\/p>\n

727
\n00:45:52,840 –> 00:45:57,040
\na new era, a new creation that
\nhas been underway. <\/p>\n

728
\n00:45:57,040 –> 00:46:01,240
\nEver since before was death,
\nafter was life. <\/p>\n

729
\n00:46:01,880 –> 00:46:07,360
\nAnd we live in life.
\nEverything has gone to plan. <\/p>\n

730
\n00:46:07,720 –> 00:46:12,280
\nGod’s plan is irreversible.
\nThe way to death has. <\/p>\n

731
\n00:46:12,280 –> 00:46:17,680
\nBeen rolled back.
\nSo discard your clothes. <\/p>\n

732
\n00:46:18,320 –> 00:46:22,360
\nOf mortality in the tomb, and go
\nseek the living among the <\/p>\n

733
\n00:46:22,360 –> 00:46:38,100
\nliving.
