Today's Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Father Charles Murr joins Terry Gospel - Matthew 28:8-15 - Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went away quickly from the tomb, fearful yet overjoyed, and ran to announce the news to His disciples. And behold, Jesus met them on their way and greeted them. They approached, embraced His Feet, and did Him homage. Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see Me.” While they were going, some of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests all that had happened. The chief priests assembled with the elders and took counsel; then they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers, telling them, “You are to say, ‘His disciples came by night and stole Him while we were asleep.' And if this gets to the ears of the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.” The soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has circulated among the Jews to the present day. Bishop Sheen quote of the day
In this powerful Palm Sunday message titled "I Fell at His Feet," Pastor Derrill Corbin leads us through Revelation 1:17–18 and John Mark 11:1–11, inviting us to see Jesus not just as Savior, but as King. As part of our Easter series at Mannahouse Mill Plain, we follow the journey of the Apostle John—from knowing about Jesus, to following Him, to deep intimacy, and ultimately to full surrender. John's encounter with the risen Christ reveals the awe and reverence due to the Living One—Jesus who triumphed over death and holds the keys of eternity. Through Scripture, reflection, and worship, we're called to take our next step—whatever that may be—toward deeper discipleship and wholehearted devotion. Join us as we respond to Jesus with the same posture as John: falling at His feet.

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Mt 15:29-37 - At that time: Jesus walked by the Sea of Galilee, went up on the mountain, and sat down there. Great crowds came to Him, having with them the lame, the blind, the deformed, the mute, and many others. They placed them at His Feet, and He cured them. The crowds were amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the deformed made whole, the lame walking, and the blind able to see, and they glorified the God of Israel. Jesus summoned His disciples and said, "My Heart is moved with pity for the crowd, for they have been with Me now for three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry, for fear they may collapse on the way." The disciples said to Him, "Where could we ever get enough bread in this deserted place to satisfy such a crowd?" Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do you have?" "Seven," they replied, "and a few fish." He ordered the crowd to sit down on the ground. Then He took the seven loaves and the fish, gave thanks, broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, who in turn gave them to the crowds. They all ate and were satisfied. They picked up the fragments left over–seven baskets full. Memorial of Saint John of Damascus, Priest and Doctor of the Church Saint John, pray for us!

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - LK 10:38-42 - Jesus entered a village where a woman whose name was Martha welcomed Him. She had a sister named Mary who sat beside the Lord at His Feet listening to Him speak. Martha, burdened with much serving, came to Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me by myself to do the serving? Tell her to help me.” The Lord said to her in reply, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things. There is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her.” Bishop Sheen quote of the day 2, 3, 4) Hugh Owen on his book: Loved, Lost and Found

Today's Topics: 1) Matthew Arnold joins Terry Gospel - LK 7:36-50 - A certain Pharisee invited Jesus to dine with him, and He entered the Pharisee's house and reclined at table. Now there was a sinful woman in the city who learned that He was at table in the house of the Pharisee. Bringing an alabaster flask of ointment, she stood behind Him at His Feet weeping and began to bathe His Feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them, and anointed them with the ointment. When the Pharisee who had invited Him saw this he said to himself, “If this Man were a prophet, He would know who and what sort of woman this is who is touching Him, that she is a sinner.” Jesus said to him in reply, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” “Tell me, Teacher,” he said. “Two people were in debt to a certain creditor; one owed five hundred days' wages and the other owed fifty. Since they were unable to repay the debt, he forgave it for both. Which of them will love him more?” Simon said in reply, “The one, I suppose, whose larger debt was forgiven.” He said to him, “You have judged rightly.” Then He turned to the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? When I entered your house, you did not give Me water for My Feet, but she has bathed them with her tears and wiped them with her hair. You did not give Me a kiss, but she has not ceased kissing My Feet since the time I entered. You did not anoint My Head with oil, but she anointed My Feet with ointment. So I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven; hence, she has shown great love. But the one to whom little is forgiven, loves little.” He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.” The others at table said to themselves, “Who is This Who even forgives sins?” But He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.” Memorial of Saint Januarius, Bishop and Martyr Saint Januarius, pray for us!

Today's Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Gospel - Mt 28:8-15 - Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went away quickly from the tomb, fearful yet overjoyed, and ran to announce the news to His disciples. And behold, Jesus met them on their way and greeted them. They approached, embraced His Feet, and did Him homage. Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go tell My brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see Me.” While they were going, some of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests all that had happened. The chief priests assembled with the elders and took counsel; then they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers, telling them, “You are to say, ‘His disciples came by night and stole Him while we were asleep.' And if this gets to the ears of the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.” The soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has circulated among the Jews to the present day.

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Lk 24:35-48 - The disciples of Jesus recounted what had taken place along the way, and how they had come to recognize Him in the breaking of bread. While they were still speaking about this, He stood in their midst and said to them, “Peace be with you.” But they were startled and terrified and thought that they were seeing a ghost. Then He said to them, “Why are you troubled? And why do questions arise in your hearts? Look at My Hands and My Feet, that it is I Myself. Touch me and see, because a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you can see I have.” And as He said this, He showed them His Hands and His Feet. While they were still incredulous for joy and were amazed, He asked them, “Have you anything here to eat?” They gave Him a piece of baked fish; He took it and ate it in front of them. He said to them, “These are My words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about Me in the law of Moses and in the prophets and psalms must be fulfilled.” Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures. And He said to them, “Thus it is written that the Christ would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day and that repentance, for the forgiveness of sins, would be preached in His Name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things.” 2, 3, 4) Steve Nelson on his book: The Magdalena Prayer Book https://sophiainstitute.com/product/the-magdalena-prayer-book/
Today's Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Gospel - Mt 28:8-15 - Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went away quickly from the tomb, fearful yet overjoyed, and ran to announce the news to His disciples. And behold, Jesus met them on their way and greeted them. They approached, embraced His Feet, and did Him homage. Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go tell My brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see Me.” While they were going, some of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests all that had happened. The chief priests assembled with the elders and took counsel; then they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers, telling them, “You are to say, ‘His disciples came by night and stole Him while we were asleep.' And if this gets to the ears of the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.” The soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has circulated among the Jews to the present day.

Before doing for Jesus, we should sit at His feet to listen and learn what He would have us to do. The post The_Chronological_Life_of_Christ_Part_89_Fitting_Him_In_Or_Sitting_at_His_Feet first appeared on Network Bible Fellowship.
Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Mk 7:24-30 - Jesus went to the district of Tyre. He entered a house and wanted no one to know about it, but He could not escape notice. Soon a woman whose daughter had an unclean spirit heard about Him. She came and fell at His Feet. The woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by birth, and she begged Him to drive the demon out of her daughter. He said to her, “Let the children be fed first. For it is not right to take the food of the children and throw it to the dogs.” She replied and said to Him, “Lord, even the dogs under the table eat the children's scraps.” Then He said to her, “For saying this, you may go. The demon has gone out of your daughter.” When the woman went home, she found the child lying in bed and the demon gone.

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Mk 5:21-43 - When Jesus had crossed again in the boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him, and He stayed close to the sea. One of the synagogue officials, named Jairus, came forward. Seeing Him he fell at His Feet and pleaded earnestly with Him, saying, "My daughter is at the point of death. Please, come lay Your Hands on her that she may get well and live." He went off with him and a large crowd followed him. There was a woman afflicted with hemorrhages for twelve years. She had suffered greatly at the hands of many doctors and had spent all that she had. Yet she was not helped but only grew worse. She had heard about Jesus and came up behind Him in the crowd and touched His cloak. She said, "If I but touch His clothes, I shall be cured." Immediately her flow of blood dried up. She felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction. Jesus, aware at once that power had gone out from Him, turned around in the crowd and asked, "Who has touched My clothes?" But His disciples said to Him, "You see how the crowd is pressing upon You, and yet You ask, who touched Me?" And He looked around to see who had done it. The woman, realizing what had happened to her, approached in fear and trembling. She fell down before Jesus and told Him the whole truth. He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go in peace and be cured of your affliction." While He was still speaking, people from the synagogue official's house arrived and said, "Your daughter has died; why trouble the teacher any longer?" Disregarding the message that was reported, Jesus said to the synagogue official, "Do not be afraid; just have faith." He did not allow anyone to accompany Him inside except Peter, James, and John, the brother of James. When they arrived at the house of the synagogue official, He caught sight of a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly. So He went in and said to them, "Why this commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but asleep." And they ridiculed Him. Then he put them all out. He took along the child's father and mother and those who were with Him and entered the room where the child was. He took the child by the hand and said to her, "Talitha koum," which means, "Little girl, I say to you, arise!" The girl, a child of twelve, arose immediately and walked around. At that they were utterly astounded. He gave strict orders that no one should know this and said that she should be given something to eat.

When you stay Here, when you stay hearing this, you can begin anything, you can create everything. That desire becomes not a desire, but The Promise It originally was.

You still didn't realize who you have on your shoulders, protecting you." -Maharajji "Love is the glue that holds the universe together. Don't become unglued." - @meditationswithsteve via IG "There is a divine armor around you that is protecting you; you have nothing to worry about. Know this and keep walking ahead in life with satisfaction, confidence, joy, patience, fullness, and faith."-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar "The stars come up spinning every night, bewildered in love. They would grow ired with that revolving if they weren't. They would say, How long do we have to do this? God picks up the reed-flute world and blows. Each note is a need coming through one of us, a passion, a longing pain. Remember the lips where the breath originated, and let your note be clear. Do not try to end it. Be your note. I will show you how that is enough. Go up on the roof at night in this city of the soul. Let everyone climb on their roofs and sing their notes. Sing loud." - Rumi, The Big Red Book "You're not supposed to get anything out of abiding in I amness. It's purpose is to desolve that which thinks it needs Something." - @peterstoughton1 "The cloud has no destination which it must reach. It is purposeless. In much the same way, when there is no longer a sense of worry, a concern for what comes next, one can walk without needing to arrive." -Wu Hsin
Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Mt 15:29-37 - At that time: Jesus walked by the Sea of Galilee, went up on the mountain, and sat down there. Great crowds came to Him, having with them the lame, the blind, the deformed, the mute, and many others. They placed them at His Feet, and He cured them. The crowds were amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the deformed made whole, the lame walking, and the blind able to see, and they glorified the God of Israel. Jesus summoned His disciples and said, "My heart is moved with pity for the crowd, for they have been with Me now for three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry, for fear they may collapse on the way." The disciples said to Him, "Where could we ever get enough bread in this deserted place to satisfy such a crowd?" Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do you have?" "Seven," they replied, "and a few fish." He ordered the crowd to sit down on the ground. Then He took the seven loaves and the fish, gave thanks, broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, who in turn gave them to the crowds. They all ate and were satisfied. They picked up the fragments left over–seven baskets full. Memorial of Saint Damasus, Pope Saint Damasus, pray for us!

Today's Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Gospel - Lk 10:38-42 - Jesus entered a village where a woman whose name was Martha welcomed Him. She had a sister named Mary who sat beside the Lord at His Feet listening to Him speak. Martha, burdened with much serving, came to Him and said, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me by myself to do the serving? Tell her to help me." The Lord said to her in reply, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things. There is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her." Bishop Sheen quote of the day Dr. Dan Schneider joins Terry to discuss this most important gift Jesus gave us to nourish us spiritually fro its institution by Christ until He returns at the conclusion of the age
We know that God can do All things and there is nothing too hard for Him. Jesus did not calm the sea before He walked on the water. Jesus walked right over the troubled waters. Upon His word, Peter also walked over the troubled waters, that is until Peter took his eyes off of Jesus. The key is keeping your eyes on Jesus. Regardless of what it looks like, feels like or sounds like, Jesus can handle it and you can too through Him. You can do ALL things through Christ when you walk by faith. Remember if it's under His Feet (and everything is) then it's under yours too, Everything bows to Jesus.

She may wear thousands of ornaments, but they are of no use at all. On that day when the body perishes-at that time, she becomes a ghost. The Messenger of Death seizes and holds her, and does not tell anyone his secret. And her loved ones-in an instant, they move on, leaving her all alone. She wrings her hands, her body writhes in pain, and she turns from black to white. As she has planted, so does she harvest; such is the field of karma. Nanak seeks God's Sanctuary; God has given him the Boat of His Feet. Those who love the Guru, the Protector and Savior, in Bhaadon, shall not be thrown down into hell. || 7 || BAARAH MAAHAA ~ THE TWELVE MONTHS: MAAJH, FIFTH MEHL, FOURTH HOUSE:ONE UNIVERSAL CREATOR GOD.

On Wednesday's show: We discuss the latest developments in politics. Also this hour: Houston food writers talk about their favorite places to get Mexican and Tex-Mex food in the city right now, in this month's installment of The Full Menu. And a new graphic novel called Last on His Feet tells the story of boxer and Galveston native Jack Johnson, the first African American world heavyweight boxing champion. His victory over the white former champion Jim Jeffries on July 4, 1910, was called "the fight of the century" and spawned race riots across the country.

And a very good morning to you. I greet you in Jesus's precious name! It is Wednesday morning, 10th August, the year 2022 and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for the day.“You number my wanderings;Put my tears into Your bottle;Are they not in Your book?”Psalm 56:8Oh, Jesus knows every tear you have ever shed since the day you were born. Then we go to the Book of Revelation, the last book in the Bible:“And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” Revelation 21:4Jesus knows what you and I are going through and what we have been through. Every painful experience we have been through, He was there with us. He has put all our tears into His bottle and they are written into His book. Our God is a God of great compassion. Jesus wept more than He laughed when He walked on this earth - He really does understand our pain and our suffering. I don't know what it is that you are going through at this very moment but He knows, tell Him about it. You see, He wept when He saw how distraught Mary and Martha were at the death of their brother, Lazarus. John 11:35:“Jesus wept.”Now, He was coming into Bethany... He knew that He was going to call Lazarus out of the tomb and yet He still wept because He saw how much suffering they were enduring. We ask ourselves the question, “But how much does Jesus really care?” Well, we just need to look at His Hands, we need to look at His Feet and we need to look at His Side - wounded for our sakes, that's how much He cares. Not only does He care, He also understands. People are desperate for love and when they are hurting, they do not want to hear preaching, they do not even want scripture verses... What do they want? They want tears of love.You know, my dear old mom who has gone to be with Jesus many, many years ago, when I was a little boy, I was quite sickly and often during the night, my mom would come and she would sit with me. She would rub my chest with ointment and she would speak kind words to me. She would sit with me. If I was suffering from a fever she would put a damp cloth on my brow, I remember it so well. Why did she do that? Because she understood, my mom was also a very sickly woman herself. Today, let us weep with those who are weeping and let us have compassion with those who are suffering - but don't forget to tell them that the best is yet coming. Jesus is going to wipe away all those tears and He is going to fill us with peace and joy and love when we are united with our loved ones.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day,Goodbye.

God pours His Unfailing Love on you to refresh your weary soul and frees you from all your fears through the Miraculous Power of Love that Never Fails to heal the wounds of your broken heart and conquer every difficulty. Drink deeply from the pleasures of His Presence. Taste and See He is Good! Always Come to Him, and His Tender Healing Love will calm your fears.
He's Got the Whole World at His Feet There are a lot of things happening on earth I don't like, but I serve a big God, and in The Book of Revelation we learn everything we do matters, and we will give an account to that big God for everything we have done. When people act like they are big and God is small… But as we will see today, God is not small; He is big, much bigger than we imagine! Read Rev. Chapter 10 He's Got the Whole World at His Feet! Let's Pray! The Mighty Angel Roars Like a Lion! V. 1-4 The Book of Revelation is about Jesus before it is about events! The first purpose of Revelation is for Jesus to increase in our life while the false god of self we have enthroned decreases! When we think of Jesus, we should have two sights ever before us: The Lamb of God who takes away our sins! The Lion of Judah who roars to put the fear of God into us! The Mighty Angel Announces God's Plan is almost Complete V. 5-7 Seventy weeks here means 490 years, with each week referring to 7 years. Genesis tells us Jacob worked a week, or seven years, for his wife Rachel. Daniel 9:24 says that at the end of the 490 years everlasting righteousness will be brought in, with no more sin and rebellion (The millennium described in Rev. 20). Verse 25 says after the decree is made to rebuild Jerusalem 69 weeks, or 483 of the 490 years, will go by and then Messiah will be cut off. Daniel 9:27 tells us the coming Antichrist will make a covenant with many for that week (seven years), but in the middle of the week, or 3 and a half years in, he'll desecrate the Jewish Temple. But then his destruction is decreed! The interval of time was the time between the first 483 years of Daniel's prophecy and the end of the 490th year when the Desolator is destroyed. When the bowls are poured out, they will be poured out in rapid fire succession and then Jesus Christ will return to earth! Now think of these things in terms of a stopwatch counting up to 490 years. John Digests the Little Scroll V. 8-11 The little scroll seems to contain the sum of Revelation's message so far – comfort to those who believe, terror to those who won't repent. The message John received is for everybody, and John was to be a messenger to everybody! According to the Bible, it is not unworthiness that keeps anyone from being saved, it is unwillingness that keeps people from being saved. If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved! For with the heart one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. -Romans 10:9-10

BY THE GRACE OF THE TRUE GURU: In the month of Bhaadon, she is deluded by doubt, because of her attachment to duality. She may wear thousands of ornaments, but they are of no use at all. On that day when the body perishes-at that time, she becomes a ghost. The Messenger of Death seizes and holds her, and does not tell anyone his secret. And her loved ones-in an instant, they move on, leaving her all alone. She wrings her hands, her body writhes in pain, and she turns from black to white. As she has planted, so does she harvest; such is the field of karma. Nanak seeks God's Sanctuary; God has given him the Boat of His Feet. Those who love the Guru, the Protector and Savior, in Bhaadon, shall not be thrown down into hell. || 7 || --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gsjhampur/message

Brother Tim Mortag teaches Psalms 115 "Delivered By His Hands and His Feet" on 7/4/2021 for our Sunday Service. Psalms 115 1 Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory, for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness! 2 Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” 3 Our God is in the heavens; he does all that he pleases. 4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of human hands. 5 They have mouths, but do not speak; eyes, but do not see. 6 They have ears, but do not hear; noses, but do not smell. 7 They have hands, but do not feel; feet, but do not walk; and they do not make a sound in their throat. 8 Those who make them become like them; so do all who trust in them. 9 O Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield. 10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield. 11 You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield. 12 The LORD has remembered us; he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron; 13 he will bless those who fear the LORD, both the small and the great. 14 May the LORD give you increase, you and your children! 15 May you be blessed by the LORD, who made heaven and earth! 16 The heavens are the LORD's heavens, but the earth he has given to the children of man. 17 The dead do not praise the LORD, nor do any who go down into silence. 18 But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and forevermore. Praise the LORD!

(Hope ,Inheritance , & POWER) READ PASSAGE… This is an intercessory Prayer to awaken & enlighten the Heart… that the TRUTHS Paul has shared since the opening of the Letter would, be gripping, moving, compelling, TRANSFORMING…NOT just intellectual Perhaps some have lost their PASSION, Their 1st LOVE for Jesus, they know Intellectually but have lost that Spark; That FIRE!..then this prayer is tailor-MADE Just for YOU!!:-) Eph. 1:15-21 15 Therefore(For This Reason) I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, 16 do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: (Asking)17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ,/ the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation/ in the knowledge of Him, 18 the eyes of your [c]understanding being enlightened;/ ….NEXT PART … So this is what he prays & WHY THEY NEEDED ENLIGHTENMENT PAUL'S PRAYER Is THAT THE EPHESUS CHURCH WOULD COME TO KNOW/EXPERIENCE THREE SPECIFIC TRUTHS: that you may know what is the hope of His calling,… what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,… 19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power 20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all principality[d] and [e]power and [f]might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. TRANSLATION…. Kenneth S Wuest - An Expanded Translation of The New Testament } On account of this I also having heard of the Faith in the Lord Jesus which is among you & of your Love to all the saints, do not cease giving thanks for you as I constantly make mention of you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of GLORY, might give you A SPIRIT of WISDOM & REVELATION in the SPHERE OF A FULL KNOWLEDGE OF HIM the EYES of YOUR HEART BEING IN AN ENLIGHTENED STATE WITH A VIEW TO YOUR KNOWING WHAT IS THE HOPE OF HIS CALLING, what is the Wealth of the GLORY of HIS INHERITANCE IN THE SAINTS, & what is the SUPERABOUNDING GREATNESS OF HIS INHERENT POWER TO US who are Believing Ones as measured by the OPERATIVE ENERGY of the Manifested strength of His might, which might WAS OPERATIVE in the Christ when he raised Him from among the dead & seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, over & above every government & authority & power & lordship & every government & authority & power & lord ship& every name that is constantly being named, not only in this age, but also in the one to come. And ALL THINGS He PUT IN SUBJECTION under His Feet, & Him He gave as head over ALL THINGS to the church, which is of such nature as to be His body, the fullness of the One who is CONSTANTLY FILLING ALL THINGS WITH ALL THINGS! {Kenneth S Wuest - An Expanded Translation of The New Testament } HOPE…. In Ephesians The HOPE Paul speaks of is Not How great or awesome or even what ‘kind' of Hope this is (the Calling of God),,,but rather WHAT OUR HOPE REALLY IS…The ‘His Calling' is the call of which GOD IS THE AUTHOR…and that is an EFFECTUAL CALL…The HOPE is Not the object Hoped for …But an attitude of Mind/heart …the subjective Hope the ASSURED Christian EXPECTATION (Expositors) Proverbs 13:12 Hope(expectation) deferred maketh the heart sick(Lweak, diseased, tired, grieved) but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life. (Drawn away, scattered, prolonged, drawn out, postponed) ROMANS 8: 18-25 Defines this ‘HOPE' Very well for us …this is THAT HOPE That PAUL wanted to Awaken & Make come alive in their Hearts!18 For I consider [from the standpoint of faith] that the sufferings of the present life are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is about to be revealed to us and in us! 19 For [even the whole] creation [all nature] waits eagerly for the children of God to be revealed. 20 For the creation was subjected to frustration and futility, not willingly [because of some intentional fault on its part], but by the will of Him who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself will also be freed from its bondage to decay [and gain entrance] into the glorious freedom of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation has been moaning together as in the pains of childbirth until now. 23 And not only this, but we too, who have the first fruits of the Spirit [a joyful indication of the blessings to come], even we groan inwardly, as we wait eagerly for [the sign of] our adoption as sons—the redemption and transformation of our body [at the resurrection]. 24 For in this hope we were saved [by faith]. But hope [the object of] which is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he already sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait eagerly for it with patience and composure. the sufferings of the present life are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is about to be revealed to us and in us(vs. 18) The HOPE which PAUL speaks of is a GLORY which IS COMING, Toward which we are MOVING as The Church day by day ( see 2 Cor. 3:18)…This GLORY AWAITS US!...It is a GLORY which will touch ALL THE WORLD!! ( Hab. 2:14 or the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. ) “Bondage of Decay” (vs. 21) = 2nd Law of Thermo Dynamics ..the Law of Entropy . states all in the Universe is running down, declining deteriorating…not just Earth Paul states is in this condition but MAN as well The AhHa is that this is Not a HOPE or GLORY that will happen in a ‘flash' just at the Resurrection/end of this age but it is even taking place NOW!! II Cor. 4:16-17 16 Therefore we do not become discouraged [spiritless, disappointed, or afraid]. Though our outer self is [progressively] wasting away, yet our inner self is being [progressively] renewed day by day. 17 For our momentary, light distress [this passing trouble] is producing for us an eternal weight of glory [a fullness] beyond all measure [surpassing all comparisons, a transcendent splendor and an endless blessedness]! (AMP) Paul beaten w/rods 3x Received 39 lashes 5x Ship wrecked 3x Been adrift at sea a day and a night Stoned & left for Dead WOW!!….Paul calls all this a momentary & light affliction compared with GOD'S GLORY working In us & for us eternally…an eternal wt. of GLORY beyond all compare THIS is the PRAYER Then that the church will capture & assimilate that GOD is PROGRESSIVELY WORKING to PRODUCE a HOPE…A GLORY in them through the every day circumstances & trials of Life GOD CAN & WILL TURN ALL THINGS TO OUR ADVANTAGE if we JUST TRUST HIM what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,… THE BEAUTIFUL Point NOT that God is our Inheritance,,,BUT RATHER we are Owned BY HIM!!...we are HIS Inheritance We are not our own for we have been bought with a $ …I Cor. 6:20, 7:23 ROMANS 12:1,2 ]Therefore I urge you, [b]brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies [dedicating all of yourselves, set apart] as a living sacrifice, holy and well-pleasing to God, which is your rational (logical, intelligent) act of worship. POINT: GOD DESIRES TO USE US!...A Great Adventure awaits us! Give him your life -- day by day, not just in one crisis moment of dedication but in every situation. Say "Lord, do you want to use me in this situation? Okay, here I am. I'm available. I see this need right in front of me. Help me, Lord, not to pass by on the other side. Give me the grace to be available now. Lord, have you given me gifts? Is there equipment in my spirit that you want to use? Well, here it is, Lord; I'm available for you to use to meet this need." And then move out, venture out, plunge in, risk a little bit! As you do, you will discover that this brings enrichment of life, that your life gradually becomes delightful in its adventure, broad in its understanding, rich in its varied experience. The RICHES of the GLORY of HIS Inheritance in US is to Be Used of HIM…He has invested in us & expects a GREAT ROI!!...The Parable of the TALENTS come to mind….No Risk= NO REWARD!! WE MUST RISK something…remember Jonathon & His Armor Bearer!...It will ALWAYS be well worth the RISK if we TRUST GOD Many of you are just waiting for God to tell you to do something. But the New Testament never instructs you to do that. Its message is: "God is with you; therefore reach out, risk something, venture, move out, plunge in, try something new that you've never done before and trust God to see you through it." The result will be fantastic enrichment of life. if you will just let God have his inheritance in your life, if you will present your body to him and say, "Lord, here I am, available to you."…. Then unlimited Favor, Glory, Adventure & GOODNESS await you!! I would venture to say (& I know myself from EXPERIENCE) there is no greater Joy & Fulfillment than this! 19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward (IN)us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power , 20…which he wrought(worked) in Christ when He raised Him from the dead This power is described as according to the working of His mighty power ,Vs. 20…which he wrought(worked) in Christ when He raised Him from the dead “WROUGHT/WORKED”(VS. 20) …”Working” (vs. 19) = Energia..is where we get our English word ‘ENERGY'..this speaks of the energy put forth by God in the operation & surpassing Power in the Salvation process to redeem us & meet our needs this then is in accordance with & corresponds to the DIVINE ENERGY… “of His mighty power”(19) The GRK. Rendering would be “of the MANIFESTED Power of His Strength” NOTE>>>>Antonyms for power include inability, incapacity, incompetence, inaptitude, incapability, disability, impotence, helplessness, hopelessness and impairment. PAUL uses 4 WORDS To convey different aspects or facets of POWER that is made available for usJ!: a.)(vs19) power (vs19) GRK= DUNAMIS = ‘natural ability that is general & inherent'…b) …”Working” (vs. 19) = Energia = ‘'POWER IN EXERCISE, Exerted…operative energy…POWER”….c) mighty =KRATOS = manifested STRENGTH…d) power ,Vs. 20 ISCHUOS…strength or POWER as an ENDOWMENT, a Force (BOTH a trait ,talent…OR…PROVISION, ‘Hand out'J!) SO we could translate this…. AND… what is the SUPERABOUNDING GREATNESS OF HIS INHERENT POWER TO/IN US who are Believing Ones as measured by the Exerted/ OPERATIVE ENERGY of the Manifested strength of His might which =character & provision, 20…which he wrought(worked) in Christ when He raised Him from the dead “WROUGHT/WORKED”(VS. 20)…is also Energia 'POWER IN EXERCISE, Exerted…operative energy… TRANSLATION… which might WAS Exerted/OPERATIVE in the Christ when he raised Him from among the dead & seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER (AGAIN!:-) EPHESIANS 1:19-20 & what is the SUPERABOUNDING GREATNESS OF HIS INHERENT POWER TO/IN US who are Believing Ones as measured by the Exerted/OPERATIVE ENERGY of the Manifested strength of His might(which is Character & Provision), which might WAS OPERATIVE in the Christ when he raised Him from among the dead & seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places I Cr. 4:20 20 For the kingdom of God is not based on talk but on power. ACTS 1:8 8 But you will receive power and ability when the Holy Spirit comes upon you; and you will be My witnesses [to tell people about Me] both in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and Samaria, and even to the ends of the earth.” II Peter 1:3 For His divine power has bestowed on us [absolutely] everything necessary for [a dynamic spiritual] life and godliness, through [a]true and personal knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. I Cr. 1:18 18 For the message of the cross is foolishness [absurd and illogical] to those who are perishing and spiritually dead [because they reject it], but to us who are being saved [by God's grace] it is [the manifestation of] the power of God. II Cr. 4:7 7 But we have this precious treasure [the good news about salvation] in [unworthy] earthen vessels [of human frailty], so that the grandeur and surpassing greatness of the power will be [shown to be] from God [His sufficiency] and not from ourselves. Energia….exercised , exerted…operative ENERGY!! Eph. 3:7 of which I became a minister according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effective working of His power. Eph. 4:16 6 from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love……………I Cor. 12:10 working of Miracles COL. 1:29 29 To this end I also labor, agonigomai according to His energia which energies in me with deutemas

The text details the process of devotion (Bhakti), or Bhakti yoga and is thus of particular importance to many of the Bhakti movements within Hinduism. It has received particular attention among the Vaishnava traditions. Within the text Narada explains the perfectional stage of pure devotion; the process to achieve this state; gives quotations from other Vedic personalities on the subject matter; things to avoid when developing bhakti, and finally explains the nature of selfless love and the different forms of attachment to the supreme person.

### What do we mean (1:20) In D&D, there's nothing wrong with a barbarian that uses reckless attack. But you can also be a barbarian that uses Bring in the Hurt. In Savage Worlds, there's nothing wrong with a fighter having a Fighting d8 and Combat Reflexes. But you can also have Fencing d8, and Quick on His Feet. ### Inside the mechanics and outside the mechanics (8:10) Some gaming mechanics allow you to do a lot of personalisation, taking the appropriate feats and skills etc. Some don't or are not as flexible. In Pathfinder, having your fighter also be an awesome tailor takes away skill points that might make your character less effective in his role. And so you might opt to perform some personalisation outside the system by using specific colours, phrases etc . Complete reinterpretation of the fluff attached to the mechanics - possible, but not necessary. A barbarian that enters Zen Mode instead or rage. Different reinterpretation of the kung fu master: Kung fu panda: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0441773/ Drunken master: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080179/ ### Game mechanics personalisation (15:00) Change the names of relevant skills and feats to something that express the character: Charmed Life was turned into Living in La La Land. You get a different “feel” when you use your own phrases and description. In Uri's previous campaign two characters took a teamwork feat that allowed them to do extra damage when they were helping each other flank an opponent. It was nice, but it only started to be cool when they started calling that specific feat “Meat Cleaver”. ### So am I only a fencer now? (18:15) The renaming can have mechanical implications, or it might not. Talk with your GM and decide on something that feels fair. It might be that your Fighting is coloured by your fencing training - when hitting with a giant battleaxe, you still think in fencing terms, hitting with the Prechoutu Inward Slice. Or it might be that you're not as well-used to blunt, heavy, striking weapons like a battleaxe, and you'll get a -1 on the check. Savage World has the Skill Specialisation optional rule. ### Personalise your character sheet (23:50) * Simple drawings * Writing notes and short thoughts about your items * Write relationships with other characters, NPCs and locations * Style your own profession/class/job/role/archetype, even if there isn't one in the system * What's quirky about your weapon? How does your damage look like? What's painted on your armour? Write it down with a simple adjective. Create personalised character sheets for your campaign. [Uri's example](http://www.naimmeod.com/ulog/%D7%93%D7%A3-%D7%93%D7%9E%D7%95%D7%AA-%D7%97%D7%93%D7%A9-%D7%9B%D7%93%D7%99-%D7%9C%D7%94%D7%9C%D7%94%D7%99%D7%91-%D7%90%D7%AA-%D7%94%D7%A7%D7%91%D7%95%D7%A6%D7%94/) (Hebrew).

sermon transcript Introduction Christ has risen. Now, it's not Easter, I know, but Christ has risen. Amen. Amen. I was thinking about that. I get to preach today on the happiest day in history, the happiest thing that's ever happened, the most joy-producing, the most joyful event that's ever happened in history. This is the great answer to the problem of sin and death, and law and condemnation. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the consummation of everything. Now, as I was driving in, I had this thought. I'd never had this thought before. And I haven't worked it all out, so I'm a little nervous, but I'm gonna run with it here. This is the closest I'll ever get to base jumping right here, right now. I'm gonna run and jump. And we'll see what happens, but it has to do with this one concept and I'm working it through, and it's very, actually, very powerful and very pastoral, if you think about it. It has to do with something that you hear frequently connected with a joke, and it goes like this: stop me if you've heard this one. Stop me if you've heard this one. Alright, stop me If you've heard this one: Christ has risen from the dead. And I thought, that's not right. No, encourage me if you've heard this one so I can preach the resurrection. The issue here is why is it that grand glorious news like the empty tomb loses its impact on us, so that we're not as joyful now as we were earlier in the resurrection of Christ? What happens to us because we've heard this one already, what new things can I say to you about the empty tomb that you haven't heard before? And if they're really new, they're almost certainly heretical, so I'll try not to say them. I'm not trying to say anything radically new here. What happens to us? It's a deep question actually. It's a deep question. Ecclesiastes 1:8 may have an answer. I looked that up right before I came in here. “All things are wearisome, more than one can say.” That's life under the sun in the book of Ecclesiastes, it's that vanity of vanities. All things are vanity, vain, in this world, we feel that acutely. But It was this past week putting this thing together like a puzzle. It was like, wait a minute. Isn't that the last word in 1 Corinthians 15, the resurrection chapter? “Be steadfast and immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not,” what? “In vain.” The resurrection is the answer to the book of Ecclesiastes. And the emptiness and weariness that this life pushes on us. And I don't minimize it, I know you're going through trials, I know, I've looked in your faces over the last couple of weeks, I've sat with you, I know what you're going through, I'm not minimizing it. Death and sickness and cancer and treatments, and broken relationships and hurt and pain, and I know therefore that “Christ has risen” doesn't have the same impact every day that it does at other times, but it ought to. For I consider that our present sufferings aren't even worth comparing with the glory that Christ is gonna give us through His resurrection, it's not even worth comparing with it. It does not matter what you're going through. The resurrection trumps every card in a million decks. So, it's my privilege through the Holy Spirit to try to re-kindle in your hearts again whatever greatest joy you ever had in the resurrection, and then go beyond it. I don't think I've ever heard of any joy in the resurrection, perhaps in history that I've heard in the history of missions, as in that video EE-Taow, which talks about the Zooks as they ministered in Irian Jaya, and they've been patiently unfolding redemptive history, they got to the life of Christ patiently unfolding, they did solid work for months with these folks, then Jesus was crucified and the people were shocked, this stone-age tribe, they couldn't believe that he would die. And then they preached the resurrection and they just went nuts. At last, they could see everything, their redemption, their own forgiveness, their own eternity in heaven, and they celebrated, they cut loose for three hours. They were throwing the Zooks up in the air, up and down and up and down. Finally like, “Okay, put us down over here.” And they went on and the celebration went on. I wonder if that tribe is still celebrating at that same level. Probably not, but they ought to be. They ought to be. They could through the Spirit. Amen. I'm not minimizing the trials we go through, but didn't the Apostle Paul say sorrowful. Perhaps maybe we could say, “sorrowful, yet always rejoicing.” Like a compass needle returns to its true north, we return to joy in the resurrection, that's what you have. And so Daniel just sang, “There is a fountain filled with blood.” I would say, and I know he'd agree, there is a fountain filled with joy there too. And every time we go to the cross and the empty tomb, we can realize our sins are forgiven, God has adopted us, we have eternal life, we're going to heaven when we die, and God is gonna see us through all of our trials, it doesn't matter what we're facing, he who gave his only begotten Son and raised him up from the dead, he will get you through this life and he will bring you on into eternity. So that's the stuff I hadn't prepared. Alright, but as I was thinking about it, I just said, that's the burden. But the joy of preaching the resurrection, there's nothing new to say. But there's so much to say. The Resurrection: The Climax of Redemptive History The History of Death So today, I get to preach on the historical, one of the historical accounts of the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ. I get to preach on the answer to the problem of death. This is the problem that entered into the world, and it causes grief all over the world, there's not a nation exempt, there's not a community exempt, there's not a family or individual exempt from this curse of death. The wicked tyrant Joseph Stalin said this, “A single death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic.” Well, that's the way he thought. No, a million deaths is a million tragedies. Death itself is a tragedy. Death itself is a curse from God on the human race because of Adam's sin, and that's the theology. It may be something we struggle with, we try to understand, but how it is that we are held accountable. But in the wisdom of God, Adam was our representative. And it says in Romans 5:12, “Sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin.” And in this way, death came to all men because all sinned. We all sinned in Adam. We all die in Adam. He represented us. And since that time, there's been an indissoluble link between sin and death. The wages of sin is death. Ezekiel 18:4 says, “The soul who sins will die.” And we also sinned not only in Adam positionally as being human beings, but we also sinned actually as soon as we understood the law. As soon as the law came, sin sprang to life. And we died, we sinned and died. But in Jesus Christ, the death penalty has been paid, and we are clear of it forever. Now, we will die physically if the Lord doesn't return in our lifetime, but we will not die eternally, the second death, the death penalty has been paid. And that's the significance of the resurrection, by Christ's resurrection, it says in Romans 4, we have been justified. Satan: The One Who Held the Power of Death… Now Defeated We've been vindicated, we will live forever, and Satan, the one who held the power of death has been destroyed. He has been defeated at the cross and by his resurrection. He could not stop the resurrection of Christ, and therefore we have freedom from fear of death, it says in Hebrews chapter 2. Ancient History Looked Forward to This: The Defeat of Death Predicted Again and Again in the Old Testament Now, this was predicted, this was prophesied, that there would come a death-conqueror. In the garden, the serpent was told, “I'll put enmity between you and the woman, between your seed and hers. He will crush your head. You will bruise his heel.” So by his death, by Jesus' death he crushed Satan and sin and death. And God promised it again and again in his scriptures, I love Isaiah 25:7-8, there it says, “On this mountain, he the Lord, will destroy the shroud that unfolds all peoples, the sheet that covers all nations; he will swallow up death forever. The sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears from all faces, he will remove the disgrace of his people from all the earth. The Lord has spoken.” Jesus Christ is the One Born of Woman, Who Came to Save Us from Sin and Death How powerful is that? He's going to destroy death. Well, now for us, he has destroyed it. Christ Jesus, the one born of woman, the seed of woman, has been born at the right time in the fullness of time, he lived a sinless life under the law of God, fulfilling all of its precepts and its commands on our behalf. He was obedient for us, so that he could win for us a perfect righteousness, a perfect obedience to the law of God, and transfer it to us through our union with him by faith; and our guilt transferred to him, our substitute. He dies in our place, and we stand righteous and uncondemned by that union we have with Christ. All Church History Looks Back to This Event: The Centerpiece of the Gospel is the Resurrection Now, all of church history looks back at this event. It's been 2000 years. 2000 years, the good news of the empty tomb has been proclaimed in nations around the world, almost every tribe and language and people and nation has been told. The message of 1 Corinthians 15, “What I received, I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and after that, he appeared to many eyewitnesses.” And this is our hope. “If you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord, and if you believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” Praise God. A Loving Errand and a Supernatural Interruption (vs. 1-3) So that's just the intro. Let's look at the text and look at what it says in these marvelous 10 verses, we begin in verse 1-3 with a loving errand and a supernatural interruption. Now, just as we do this, this points again to the historicity of our faith, the historical roots of our faith. This is a historical account of some women who went to the tomb and the things that happened to them. We believe that the resurrection of Jesus Christ is a historical event. It really happened. We do not look at the resurrection as a myth or a fable, or an inspirational story, or certainly not a lie; it is history. It actually happened in space and time, and this account, these 10 verses is part of the historical record. Look at verse 1, “After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.” In Mark 16, we have this parallel account, it says, “When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary, the mother of James and Salome brought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus' body. Very early on the first day of the week just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb.” Luke 23 and 24 gives us this, “The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee, followed Joseph of Arimathea, saw the tomb and how his body was laid in it. Then they went home and then prepared spices and perfumes. But they rested on the Sabbath in obedience to the commandment.” Then in Luke 24:1, it says, “On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb.” A Loving Errand… But Some Measure of Unbelief So that's a fuller picture of what is going on with these women, what's happening. It's a loving errand that they have, but there is mingled with it a measure of unbelief. It's a loving errand, they love Jesus, but there is mingled here a measure of unbelief. The Sabbath is over now, they're free now to resume work, they were interrupted by the Sabbath, and the women wanted to finish what they started doing, which is burying Jesus, they wanted to finish with the spices, they wanted to finish wrapping up his body. Now, there's no doubt about the love and the loyalty these women have for Jesus, and that's based on faith, they believed in the things he said, they believed in what he did, I'm sure they were confused by his death, deeply grieved by it, but they just wanted to finish the work they had started, and the Sabbath had interrupted it, so they're hurrying there early. Now, as they come, they're bringing these spices, and the spices are there to mask the stench of corruption, to mask the stench of decay, that's why they're done. They're not going to have an encounter with the living God, they're not going there to have an encounter with Jesus, resurrected from the dead. They're going to care for a corpse. They're not expecting a resurrection. None of them were. And all of this, despite the fact that Jesus had repeatedly told them that he was going to be raised on the third day. Again and again, they don't have to go to Isaiah 25. Jesus himself told them what was going to happen to him. So he said in Matthew 12:40, “As Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the son of man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.” And then Matthew 16:21, “From that time on, Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and on the third day, be raised to life.” And then again, Matthew 20:17 -19. “Now, as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside and said to them, ‘We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man is going to be betrayed to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death, and will turn him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. On the third day he will be raised to life.’” He has been very clear about this, and frankly, the text gives us indication from that time on, he began saying to them, so he's saying it again and again. Key Issue: They Did Not Understand the Scripture Clearly, they did not understand from the Scriptures that Jesus had to rise from the dead. This is the very point that John makes in John 20:9, is the very point that Jesus makes with the two disciples on the road to Emmaus. “How foolish you are,” he said, “And how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken.” Did not the Christ have to suffer these things and then enter into his glory? And then beginning with Moses and the prophets in the Psalms, he explained all things that were written about himself.” It was there, they didn't understand these things from scripture, and they didn't understand these things from Jesus' plain statements about himself. Christ Does Not Despise The Women’s Mixture of Faith/Love with a Measure of Unbelief And so they come with their mixture of love and loyalty and unbelief. Some faith. Some unbelief. Isn't that us? Isn't it? Aren't we able to say like the father of that demon-possessed boy, “I do believe. Lord, Help my unbelief!” We're all like that. We have a mingling, that's why the resurrection is not as exciting today as whatever is the number one most exciting time you've ever had with the resurrection. It's because we're mingled, we don't have a pure faith, it's a mingled experience. And yet, isn't it marvelous how Jesus loves us anyway? And he cares for us and protects us and he's loyal to us Anyway? “A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out.” He's gonna take the smoldering wick of your faith and he's gonna kindle it into a flame, and that's his love for us. Who Moved the Stone? God Did! Through An Angel And so there they are, they walk to the tomb, it seems in the darkness, and as they approach the tomb, one thought dominates their mind: who's gonna move the stone? There's this huge, just huge boulder that had been rolled in front of the entrance to the tomb weighing thousands of pounds, I'm sure. And these women have, they just have no idea: how are they gonna move the stone? And so that's a big problem, they wanna go there, but they don't know how they're gonna get to the corpse, so they have a problem. Well, God took care of the problem at every level. No need to move the stone, no need for the spices and no corpse. Amen. Hallelujah. The whole mission's changed. Everything is changed, radically changed. So who moved the stone? In the famous words of Frank Morison, the apologetic writer, “Who moved the stone?” Well, God did through an angel. God moved that stone. We're gonna talk more about Morison and other apologetic writers next week. I wanna do a lot on apologetics next week, not this week, about how to take these truths and speak them to an unbelieving world that needs to hear about these things. But this one I just wanna work through just the historicity of the text, and Morison was a guy who set out to debunk the accounts of the resurrection and ends up being converted. How many times has that happened? Again and again, people read these accounts and say, “This is the truth. There's no way I can wrestle with this, I can't turn my back on it, Christ has risen.” But it's very clear, the answer to the question, who moved the stone? Look at verse 2 and 3, “Behold, there was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven, and going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were as white as snow.” Now, the gospel accounts are powerful and clear, especially John about what happened to the stone. John is very clear in the Greek that the stone was lifted up and removed from the entrance. It was just entirely removed, not just rolled up in its little trough and propped up. It was just lifted and moved, you don't wanna mess with an angel. Let me tell you something. They can do awesome things. And so this angel just picks it up and tosses it aside and then sits on it, it's this awesome picture here, so he lifts it up and moves it. What is the significance of the moving of the stone? Well, let me say plainly it wasn't to let Jesus out. Amen. I mean, picture that, how terrible would that be. I'm waiting, waiting. Or he's knocking from the inside. Jesus is gone! He's been raised from the dead. Jesus could have moved the stone himself, he didn't need any angelic help in that assistance, but he didn’t need the stone moved. He didn't need it moved. He came up out of those sticky linen grave clothes anyway, moves out of that, moves right through the stone wall. And he's gone. How can that be? How do we understand that, it's not easy to understand. What is a resurrection body? What is it? What is involved in that? The best chapter on that, as I've said, is 1 Corinthians 15, and there the Apostle Paul, verse 42 and following, says, “The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable. It is sown in dishonor, it's raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power.” And this is the key phrase, “It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.” Which is somewhat of a contradiction in terms, but it just shows the mysteries around the resurrection itself, it is a spiritual body, continuing. “So it is written, ‘the first man, Adam, became a living being’; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. The spiritual did not come first, but the natural after that, the spiritual. The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man was from heaven. As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the man from heaven, so also are those who are of heaven. and just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so we shall bear the likeness of the man from heaven. I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God.” So there's enough information in there to say, we're talking about a glorious, powerful, spiritual body that is not flesh and blood in that sense, but still it's not a ghost or a spirit. So he can say in Luke, “Touch me and see; a ghost or a spirit doesn't have flesh and bones as you see I have.” And he's able to eat boiled fish, so he says, Jesus says, “I am not a spirit,” but Paul calls him “a life-giving spirit.” Spiritual body, that's the best I can make of it. And you're saying, “Pastor, you're just confusing us.” Well, that's as far as I can go. This resurrection body could do some astonishing things. It could just go through walls, it seems. Jesus frequently didn't look like his normal self, he had to reveal himself to people who knew him well. He's sitting there with the two disciples on the road to Emmaus, he's sitting there breaking bread with them. Their eyes are open, they realize who he is, and he disappears. Bodies don't do that, normal bodies, but Jesus has this resurrection body. And Jesus in John 20, though the doors are locked for fear of the Jews that day and a week later, he comes and stands among them and says, “Peace be with you.” Now, Wayne Grudem in his excellent systematic theology is at pains to be sure, we're not dualists, thinking, spirit, good, body, bad, Jesus had a real physical body, so he says there's no evidence that Jesus passed through walls. I just wanna know how he got out of the tomb? Not the upper room, I'm saying the tomb. Was he waiting for the angel to let him out? How'd he get out of the sticky grave clothes? So I appreciate what brother Grudem is saying about the dualism. He had a real body, it's just a mysterious body and can do amazing things. And so there it is. So why then was the stone moved? Not to let Jesus out, but to let us in, come and see the place where he lay, that's why it was moved. Come and see the evidence, come and see the place where he lay. And based on that evidence, the first generation, the apostles believed. John 20:8, John says, “He saw and believed.” So his faith in the resurrection was based on the grave clothes, the head covering folded off by itself the stone removed the missing body, no corpse. He saw the physical evidence and believed, but the next statement is more important. “They still did not understand from scripture that he had to rise from the dead.” That's what we get. We don't get to touch the grave clothes, we don't get to see the moving stone, we get scripture. And that's all you'll ever get, but that's enough, isn't it? It's enough. We read the scripture and we believe in the resurrection, amen. But the physical evidence was there for the eyewitnesses, for those that saw his glory and preached. 1 John, what they saw with their eyes, what they touched with their hands, what they experienced. Thomas could have, I don't know that he did, put his finger in the nail holes, it was physical and there were eyewitnesses to the resurrection. Christ is risen. Now, we go into all this history because it's very plain that if Christ has not been raised, our faith is worthless, there is no Christianity. So history matters, and so we go into these details. The Earthquake and the Angel So what happened? Well, there was an earthquake and there was an angel. A violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. Behold, I like the “behold,” NIV tends to leave “beholds” out, I put them back in. Sometimes I even write them in. Behold, the angel suddenly comes and the earth shakes. And isn't that awesome? That's the second earthquake, great earthquake, in connection with Jesus' death and resurrection, the first happened after he died. The earth shook and rocks split, it says, and now we have this other earthquake. This is an earth-shattering experience. The earth is moving under our feet here with the crucifixion and the resurrection. And it's pointing to, as I mentioned a few weeks ago, to the new heavens and the new earth, when everything will be transformed. I like to use the word resurrected, when the earth will be resurrected, similar to Jesus, and we will be given a new heaven and a new earth. The removal of all the things that can be shaken, they'll be removed, all of them removed, and eternal things will be set up that will never be shaken. And we're receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken. So let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably. And so there's such a joy in this, and so the angel does it, and this angel is mighty. He caused the earthquake. The text implies that, “there was an earthquake, for an angel came down from heaven.” So the angel is shaking the earth, these are mighty beings. What was the touch-down? I always think they're like Apollo 11, the eagle has landed. So the angel comes down and touches down somewhere away from the tomb and moves over to it, so he lands, earthquake, and he moves over, picks up the stone mightily and moves it aside, and then, this my favorite part: sits on it. Like with angelic legs dangling. I just get that picture of complete ease. He's in the presence of Roman warriors, not intimidated at all by them, they're very intimidated by him. He's just sitting there comfortable, joyful and saying, “This is a happy day, this is the happy day.” And he's just waiting to talk to the women, don't need to worry about the stone, don't need to worry about the corpse, he is risen. And so there he is, and look at his appearance, blinding light, this radiant glory from heaven, God the Father, giving some of his glory to the angel, and the angel radiating this blinding light from heaven. Just as Jesus' birth when he was born, and the shepherd saw the angel and he descended in the glory of the Lord, shone around and they were terrified. And so also these Roman soldiers, terrified at his glory. Angels are there ministering, angels are there at his birth, angels are there in his temptation, when he was in the desert and angels came and strengthened him. Angels were there in Gethsemane when he was sweating great drops of blood, and an angel was sent to strengthen him, and angels are there now at his resurrection, and they'll be there at his second coming, Amen. When the son of man comes in his Father's glory and all the angels with him, they'll all come for the second coming glory. And so he is glorious, he is powerful. Here in this account, there's just one angel, but putting all the accounts together, there's definitely more than one angel, there's a good number of angels that are involved here. In Luke, it says, “Suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them, and in their fright, the women bowed down with their faces to the ground but the men said to them, ‘Why do you look for the living among the dead?’” In John's Gospel, they're inside the tomb, sitting one at the head, one at the foot. And Mary looked in and saw them sitting there where Jesus' body had been, one at the head, one at the foot. Terror and Assurance (vs. 4-6) Now, in verse 4-6, we have terror and assurance. First the terror, In verse four, “The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men. The angel said to the women, ‘Do not be afraid, for I know that you're looking for Jesus who was crucified. He is not here, he has risen, just as he said, come and see the place where he lay.’” So we have terror first, and then the assurance that the angel gives. The Reaction of the Guards Look at the reaction of the guards, these are Roman soldiers who had conquered the world in the name of Caesar, fearless warriors, and they are utterly paralyzed at one angel, utterly paralyzed. And frankly, they had every reason to be, every reason to be. They are terrified of him, and they're trembling, the Greek word for “shook” is the same as what happened to the earth, the angel made the earth shake and he made these men shake, and they're terrified and they end up paralyzed. They can't move. The Reassurance of the Women The glory of this angel, and they can do nothing, and the angel just disregards them, doesn't say anything to them at all, his mission is for the women and for the believers. And so he speaks a word of reassurance to the women, calming their hearts, and he said, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you're looking for Jesus who was crucified.” In other words, “You have nothing to fear from me because you're in a right relationship with him.” Right? You have nothing to fear. If you are in a right relationship with Jesus, you have nothing to fear from Jesus. But if you're not, you have every reason to be terrified. He is an incredible friend. What a friend we have in Jesus, but he's a terrifying enemy. And he's the Lord of host, he's the Lord of armies, and so this is one of the soldiers in his army, this heavenly warrior. So he just ignores the Roman soldiers and he says to the women, he says, “Do not be afraid. Fear not, for I know that you're looking for Jesus and why you're here, and I understand your relationship with him. I'm here for you. So don't be afraid.” And then he says, “He is not here, he has risen, just as he said.” Now, in Luke's gospel, I think it's clear that there's a little bit of a stronger rebuke for them, actually. You get a little bit of it here, “He has risen just as he said.” But it's clear, in Luke, listen to this, “In their fright,” it said, “The women bowed down with their face to the ground, but the men said to them, ‘Why do you look for the living among the dead?’” Why are you acting like he's a corpse? He's not a corpse, he is not here, he has risen. And then he's even clear, “Remember how he told you while he was still with you in Galilee: ‘The Son of Man must be delivered in the hands of sinful man, be crucified, and on the third day be raised again.’ Then they remembered Jesus' words.” So it's a bit of a mild rebuke, read the scriptures, believe the scriptures, it’s all laid out. Feed on God's word. Strengthen your faith in God's word. And I think that's a link to the very beginning of this sermon, if your joy isn't what it should be, get back in the word and strengthen your faith, and your faith will lead quickly to your emotions and to your joy. Remember what he said. They should have known. The angels say the same thing in John toward Mary Magdalene. Remember, she's weeping, weeping, weeping. I just love it, weeping on the happiest day in history. It's the same thing with the two disciples on the road to Emmaus. I preached an Easter sermon entitled, “Downcast Walking with the Risen Lord.” Depressed and with the resurrected Jesus, how can that be? And he rebuked them for it. Why are you so downcast and discouraged? Read the scriptures. And so the angel says in John 20:13, “Woman, why are you crying?” “They have taken my Lord away and I don't know where they have put him.” He's not being put anywhere, he's going where he wants. Alright, just so you know. He's not put anywhere. And so he's risen. So why are you weeping? Same thing Jesus said to her when he began talking to her, “Why are you weeping?” The Basis of their Joy: The Empty Tomb And what should be the basis of their joy? The empty tomb. Look what the angel says, “He is not here, he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.” Now, you can only do that by faith, in your mind's eye, but go ahead and do it. Come now by faith and see the empty tomb. Come and see the place where he lay, and let your faith be strengthened by that, come by faith in the word and see. He is not here, he has risen. And so that's it. Just the body is gone. Now, as I said in John's gospel, there are angels where the body was, and you have the grave clothes described, and you have the angel at the head and at the foot, I love that. As one commentator put it so beautifully, it represents the cherubim who were on the mercy seat on the Ark of the Covenant in the Old Testament. That's where the Lord said he would meet with Israel and in a glory cloud above the Ark. In the mercy seat between the cherubim, there in the glory cloud, he spoke to Israel. And that's where the atoning blood was poured on the day of atonement, there on the mercy seat between the wings of the cherubim, and so I think the position of the angels, one at the head, one at the foot and John's gospel tells us, this is the new mercy seat. This is where God will speak to you. The empty tomb, the crucifixion and resurrection, is where God will speak his final word to the human race. That's where the blood was poured for the atonement of our sins. It's all been fulfilled. The Joyful Mission Begins (vs. 7-8) This is the Beginning of the Spread of the News! Christ is Risen! Well, then their joyful ministry begins, verses 7 and 8, “Go quickly and tell his disciples, he has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.” And I like this part. “Now, I have told you,” meaning, I have nothing more to say, get going. It's like that Jewish way of expression, it's in the Old Testament a lot. “Have I not told you?” In other words, there's nothing more to say, you have your orders. And so they're given a very, very clear ministry, a mission to go and tell the disciples, he has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee and there you will see him. And so they began running away, they're running, they're hurrying, they're afraid still, but filled with joy. Again, that mingling. That's just who we are. Afraid, what are they afraid of? Just look at it, is there anything to be afraid of at this moment? I tell you, no, there's nothing to be afraid of. If God is for us, who can be against us? Who cares? But they're still that mingling in our hearts, but still they are filled with joy, and so they go to tell the disciples that Christ has risen. The Fact That It Was Entrusted to these Women Shows the Honor The Lord Held Them In And isn't it marvelous how God chose to do it? Back then in the culture that they had back then, a woman's testimony wouldn't be accepted in the court of law. This is part of the evidence of why scholars in the 21st century, 20th century think this rings true. Because if you're gonna concoct or craft a fable, you wouldn't do it this way. So many elements of the Bible are that way, you just wouldn't show the sins of David and Peter. You wouldn't be so open, you'd try to cover that up. The Bible doesn't cover anything up and here the Lord willed that these women should go and tell the apostles concerning the resurrection, and it's a marvelous thing. And so they hurry away from the tomb, afraid and yet filled with joy. Now, we know from John's Gospel, Peter and John went and saw for themselves as well, based on what they had heard from the women. I never found out, we'll never know, I guess, until we get to heaven what happened with the spices? I think they were probably left in there, like the Samaritan woman left her water pitcher. Doesn't matter, I don't need the spices anymore, we don't need a water pitcher, and they're running filled with joy to go like the Samaritan woman to tell the whole village, “Come and see a man who told me everything I ever did, could this be the Christ?” The Highest Evidence: A Personal Encounter with the Risen Lord (vs. 9-10) The Highest Evidence: Personal Encounter with the Risen Lord And these women running to tell the disciples that Christ is risen, but they have one more beautiful perfect surprise that morning, one more. Better evidence than an angel, better evidence than the empty tomb, better evidence than the grave clothes. How about a personal encounter with the resurrected Christ? And that's where our account ends, the highest evidence, verse 9 and 10, “Suddenly Jesus met them.” That's what you can do in a resurrection body. Suddenly there he is, and he just appears and he's there. And he says, and I love this, “Greetings.” That's a kin to, “Morning.” It's so understated. It's so ordinary. “Hi. Here I am.” And again, there's, behold out of nowhere, he comes and their reaction is beautiful, it's priceless, frankly, it's the point of everything. It really is. It's the point of the crucifixion, and it's the point of the resurrection. Their Reaction: Pure Worship… Falling at His Feet!! They fall down at his feet and they worship him. As John Piper put it very plainly, in Let the Nations Be Glad, “Missions exist because worship doesn't.” That's the purpose of all of this, so that we would fall on our faces and worship the Lord, that we would worship the resurrected Christ. That at the name of Jesus, every knee should bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Just Like in John’s Gospel… Jesus’ Message is Exactly the Same as that of the Angels I think there's a little more to it though, because they're holding on tightly, and Jesus has to say, “Stop holding on to me.” Alright, in another account. “Stop holding,” so I think they're saying, “Look, we let you go before and look what happened, we're not doing that again. We're gonna hold on.” And Jesus says, “You can't hold on to me. I'm here for just a short time, 40 days, I'm gonna get the apostles ready to do their ministry and then I'm going to ascend to heaven. So don't hold on to me because I have to ascend to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God.” But it's so beautiful, how Jesus calls them brothers, “Go tell my brothers to go to Galilee and there they will see me.” And so that's that beautiful, beautiful thing. It's the most surprising, the most spectacular aspect of the whole Gospel, J.I. Packer summed up the gospel in three words, “Adoption through propitiation.” Let me say it very plainly, we are adopted as the sons and daughters of living God, because Jesus shed his blood in our place for our sins. That sums it all up. Adoption through propitiation. We are brothers and sisters of the resurrected Jesus Christ, and he's not ashamed to call us that, he's not ashamed. We're sometimes ashamed of him, though we should never be, but he's never ashamed of us. And he is not ashamed to call us brothers. And so he says, “Go tell my brothers that they will see me.” Applications Christians: Know the Certainty of What You Believe So what applications can we take from that? Oh my. How long do we have? Not long, 'cause we have the Lord's supper, we have the Lord's supper. But be certain of your faith, be rock solid, certain that Christ has risen from the dead. Be certain about the scriptures, testimony, Old testament and New to the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Be certain about these things. The word of God is perfectly true and reliable, and Jesus of Nazareth really is the Son of God and the Savior of the world. He is completely vindicated, and his blood shed on the cross is sufficient for your sins and for mine. And if we repent and believe in him, we will have eternal life. So repent and believe in him and trust in him. And if you have already done that years ago, continue to repent and believe and to trust and to stay close to him, because he is the vine and you are the branches. Be Encouraged Even in the Face of Death And if I can just say, allow your joy to be rekindled, rejoice and be happy, in the Lord, rejoice even in the midst of your suffering. In Acts 9:39, some women were standing around Peter weeping and showing him some articles of clothing that a woman named Dorcas, Tabitha, had made for them, and they're weeping, they're crying, why? 'Cause she's dead. And Peter sent them all out of the room, knelt down and prayed, and then raised her from the dead. Was it inappropriate for them to be weeping? No, no, you know why? Because she was gone now, there was no certainty she would be immediately raised from the dead, and life's hard and Dorcas made life easier and better, and so it's right for us to grieve. But not as those who have no hope. And so that's why I say sorrowful, yet always rejoicing. Sometimes we have to be sorrowful, but this message, the truth behind this message is an eternal fountain of joy for all of us. Close with me in prayer. Father, we thank you for the time that we've had in the word, and as we prepare our hearts now, O Lord, to receive the Lord's Supper, I pray that you would send forth again in fresh affusions, the Holy Spirit, to take these bear emblems, to take this experience here of the Lord's Supper, and to make it very powerful. Thank you for what we've just heard in the word, and we ask, O Lord, that you would use it and multiply it. I pray for any that are here that walked in in an unregenerate state, that they are lost, they're apart from Christ, that they would even now, repent and trust in Jesus. I pray these things in your name. Amen.
02/08/2009 – Series: Being the Church - Body by the Spirit – 1 Corinthians 12 Nowadays we have: Body by Jake Body by Glamour Body by Dr. Ted Body by Victoria and Body by Milk - because Milk does a Body good Corporately, as the Church, we here have a Body by the Spirit. Last week, we discussed how we are a community of the Spirit. What we will see today is that the Spirit makes us even more than a community, but in a real way, a Body. As 1 Corinthians 12:13,27 says, "So it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body... Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it." It is a mind-blowing concept that in some very real way, we are Jesus’ Body here on earth. We are His representatives, His ambassadors, His Body. We are Jesus to this world - His Body, His Voice, His Hands and His Feet. So to be the Church - we must understand what it means to be the Body of Christ - a Body by His Spirit.
Right at the start of 2009, Pastor Mathew Jones suggests that we take time to come before the Throne and "Fall at His Feet". Sound, Biblical advice for us all.
