- (graham) this easter,
- 00:00:09.539 --> 00:00:10.406
- I'm in los angeles
- 00:00:10.440 --> 00:00:11.441
- In what looks like
- 00:00:11.474 --> 00:00:12.942
- A wasteland.
- 00:00:12.976 --> 00:00:15.011
- In the middle of this pain,
- 00:00:15.044 --> 00:00:17.580
- Many are asking,
- 00:00:17.614 --> 00:00:19.015
- Can there be hope in the place of ashes?
- 00:00:19.048 --> 00:00:24.087
- The message of easter gives us
- 00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:26.923
- A clear answer to that question.
- 00:00:26.956 --> 00:00:30.360

- (graham) you might be standing in the rubble, and the ashes
- 00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:40.303
- Of your life-- whatever the circumstances,
- 00:00:40.336 --> 00:00:42.605
- I want you to know that god is
- 00:00:42.639 --> 00:00:44.941
- Giving you right now a second chance.
- 00:00:44.974 --> 00:00:48.044
- ♪

- A blessed easter to each and every one.
- 00:00:58.621 --> 00:01:00.423
- This is franklin graham.
- 00:01:00.456 --> 00:01:02.392
- Easter is not the same for many people this year.
- 00:01:02.425 --> 00:01:07.764
- So many have gone through devastating tragedy and loss.
- 00:01:07.797 --> 00:01:12.669
- Hurricane helene hit the southeast
- 00:01:12.702 --> 00:01:15.038
- The end of september.
- 00:01:15.071 --> 00:01:17.941
- And brought devastation that we've never seen
- 00:01:17.974 --> 00:01:19.709
- In that part of the world before.
- 00:01:19.742 --> 00:01:21.611
- (water rushing)
- 00:01:21.644 --> 00:01:23.513
- It's just amazing.
- 00:01:23.546 --> 00:01:25.882
- They called it a "thousand year flood."
- 00:01:25.915 --> 00:01:29.452
- (man) oh, this is scary, guys.
- 00:01:29.485 --> 00:01:31.020
- (water crashing)
- 00:01:31.054 --> 00:01:33.856
- (graham) more than 215 people died,
- 00:01:33.890 --> 00:01:36.593
- That we know of.
- 00:01:36.626 --> 00:01:38.061
- They believe there are still people that are
- 00:01:38.094 --> 00:01:40.129
- Buried underneath some of the silt and trash.
- 00:01:40.163 --> 00:01:43.533
- It will take years to recover.
- 00:01:43.566 --> 00:01:47.537
- Many people lost everything they had worked for
- 00:01:47.570 --> 00:01:50.106
- And they won't live long enough
- 00:01:50.139 --> 00:01:51.441
- To recover what they've lost.
- 00:01:51.474 --> 00:01:53.710
- Their homes,
- 00:01:53.743 --> 00:01:55.445
- And everything they've spent their lives acquiring,
- 00:01:55.478 --> 00:01:57.614
- Are simply gone.
- 00:01:57.647 --> 00:02:01.317
- And as the east coast was still dealing with
- 00:02:01.351 --> 00:02:05.755
- The hurricane and the floods,
- 00:02:05.788 --> 00:02:07.757
- Well, january 7th here in california,
- 00:02:07.790 --> 00:02:11.361
- The eaton and palisades fires started.
- 00:02:11.394 --> 00:02:14.998
- (officer over loudspeaker) the evacuation of this area is required.
- 00:02:15.031 --> 00:02:17.533
- (graham) it was fueled by hurricane-force santa ana wind
- 00:02:17.567 --> 00:02:20.570
- That made the flames unstoppable.
- 00:02:20.603 --> 00:02:23.439
- Everything is catching fire here!
- 00:02:23.473 --> 00:02:25.408
- Trash bins, shrubs, trees, houses.
- 00:02:25.441 --> 00:02:30.680
- (graham) it burned nearly 38,000 acres
- 00:02:30.713 --> 00:02:33.583
- And destroyed more than 16,000 structures
- 00:02:33.616 --> 00:02:38.021
- Like where i am right now.
- 00:02:38.054 --> 00:02:39.622
- Twenty-nine people lost their lives.
- 00:02:39.656 --> 00:02:41.858
- Fireman were fighting the inferno.
- 00:02:41.891 --> 00:02:45.695
- These men and women fought to save every inch,
- 00:02:45.728 --> 00:02:49.065
- Every life that they could.
- 00:02:49.098 --> 00:02:51.968
- They didn't run, they didn't back up.
- 00:02:52.001 --> 00:02:53.903
- They stood there and they fought
- 00:02:53.936 --> 00:02:55.605
- And i'm so grateful for them and
- 00:02:55.638 --> 00:02:57.707
- They really are heroes.
- 00:02:57.740 --> 00:03:00.843
- Almost everyone who went through these fires
- 00:03:00.877 --> 00:03:02.912
- Described it the same way.
- 00:03:02.945 --> 00:03:05.915
- (woman) it is like driving through hell itself down here.
- 00:03:05.948 --> 00:03:09.919
- You can feel the heat from the flames
- 00:03:09.952 --> 00:03:12.822
- Even from inside your car.
- 00:03:12.855 --> 00:03:14.524
- (wind rushing)
- 00:03:14.557 --> 00:03:17.493
- (graham) flames were going hundreds of feet into the air.
- 00:03:17.527 --> 00:03:19.729
- Houses were exploding.
- 00:03:19.762 --> 00:03:21.497
- Cars literally were melting.
- 00:03:21.531 --> 00:03:25.168
- People running for their lives.
- 00:03:25.201 --> 00:03:28.271
- (woman yelling) is that even...ah!
- 00:03:28.304 --> 00:03:30.006
- (man) okay, stop yelling.
- 00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:31.607
- I just gotta get outta here.
- 00:03:31.641 --> 00:03:34.243
- (woman) you've gotta get us outta here.
- 00:03:34.277 --> 00:03:36.713
- (graham) maybe today you feel like
- 00:03:40.416 --> 00:03:42.585
- You're going through some kind of hell
- 00:03:42.618 --> 00:03:44.354
- Here on earth.
- 00:03:44.387 --> 00:03:45.421
- Maybe it's cancer,
- 00:03:45.455 --> 00:03:46.789
- Maybe it's divorce,
- 00:03:46.823 --> 00:03:48.858
- Financial ruin.
- 00:03:48.891 --> 00:03:51.027
- Maybe it's a problem with your children or family.
- 00:03:51.060 --> 00:03:53.463
- Whatever your circumstances, i want you to know this--
- 00:03:53.496 --> 00:03:57.233
- That god loves you.
- 00:03:57.266 --> 00:03:59.335
- He doesn't promise us a rose garden here on earth.
- 00:03:59.369 --> 00:04:03.373
- We're going to have tragedies.
- 00:04:03.406 --> 00:04:04.741
- We're going to have misfortunes.
- 00:04:04.774 --> 00:04:06.175
- We're going to have disappointments.
- 00:04:06.209 --> 00:04:07.710
- But know this--
- 00:04:07.744 --> 00:04:08.745
- God is real and he loves you.
- 00:04:08.778 --> 00:04:11.347
- His son jesus christ is real.
- 00:04:11.381 --> 00:04:14.050
- Hell, and its flames, it's real.
- 00:04:14.083 --> 00:04:16.652
- And in a moment, i want to share with you
- 00:04:16.686 --> 00:04:18.888
- A message about a savior
- 00:04:18.921 --> 00:04:20.323
- Who came to save us from hell.
- 00:04:20.356 --> 00:04:24.093
- But first, i want to introduce you to my friends
- 00:04:24.127 --> 00:04:26.529
- Michael w. smith and charity gayle
- 00:04:26.562 --> 00:04:28.731
- Who are here in california with me to share
- 00:04:28.765 --> 00:04:31.367
- Some special music from pepperdine university.
- 00:04:31.401 --> 00:04:36.172
- (smith) thank you, franklin.
- 00:04:36.205 --> 00:04:39.175
- Charity and i are honored to be with you.
- 00:04:39.208 --> 00:04:41.444
- And, actually, this is our first time singing together
- 00:04:41.477 --> 00:04:44.180
- And it's a blessing for both of us
- 00:04:44.213 --> 00:04:45.581
- To be here.
- 00:04:45.615 --> 00:04:46.449
- That's right.
- 00:04:46.482 --> 00:04:47.450
- And sometimes life hits us incredibly hard.
- 00:04:47.483 --> 00:04:49.719
- But easter points us to the hope that jesus brings,
- 00:04:49.752 --> 00:04:53.189

- (graham) standing here today, it's a wasteland.
- 00:08:37.680 --> 00:08:41.317
- Charred chimneys, gray ash.
- 00:08:41.350 --> 00:08:45.087
- And every now and then you'll see a house
- 00:08:45.121 --> 00:08:47.156
- That somehow made it through this, this fire.
- 00:08:47.189 --> 00:08:52.061
- Think of the hundreds and hundreds of families
- 00:08:52.094 --> 00:08:54.430
- And some of them have no clue what they're going to do.
- 00:08:54.463 --> 00:08:57.166
- You know, you just look around
- 00:08:57.199 --> 00:08:58.934
- And you just feel sorry for every family.
- 00:08:58.968 --> 00:09:01.704
- And most people put so much value
- 00:09:01.737 --> 00:09:05.708
- In what they've accomplished and what they've accumulated
- 00:09:05.741 --> 00:09:08.177
- In life, but in just an instant, it can look like
- 00:09:08.210 --> 00:09:12.214
- Where i'm standing.
- 00:09:12.248 --> 00:09:13.716
- Just a pile of ash and rubble.
- 00:09:13.749 --> 00:09:15.685
- What's important in life?
- 00:09:18.754 --> 00:09:20.690
- It's your soul.
- 00:09:20.723 --> 00:09:22.191
- This makes me think about eternity.
- 00:09:22.224 --> 00:09:24.093
- We all have a soul that will live for eternity
- 00:09:24.126 --> 00:09:27.129
- In one of two places-- heaven or hell.
- 00:09:27.163 --> 00:09:30.900
- Jesus said, "what should it profit a man
- 00:09:30.933 --> 00:09:32.902
- "if he should gain the whole world
- 00:09:32.935 --> 00:09:34.704
- "and lose his own soul?"
- 00:09:34.737 --> 00:09:36.372
- Heaven is real,
- 00:09:36.405 --> 00:09:38.274
- And hell is also real.
- 00:09:38.307 --> 00:09:40.910
- Jesus preached about hell
- 00:09:40.943 --> 00:09:43.145
- And not everyone is going to make it to heaven.
- 00:09:43.179 --> 00:09:45.648
- Only those who have put their faith
- 00:09:45.681 --> 00:09:48.984
- And trust in god's son, jesus christ.
- 00:09:49.018 --> 00:09:52.588
- There's a choice you have to make--
- 00:09:52.621 --> 00:09:54.557
- To accept christ or to reject him.
- 00:09:54.590 --> 00:09:56.792
- The choice is yours.
- 00:09:56.826 --> 00:09:59.228
- The hell that people were describing here
- 00:09:59.261 --> 00:10:01.230
- In california where i stand today,
- 00:10:01.263 --> 00:10:03.365
- Is not even close to the real hell
- 00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:06.836
- Created for the devil and his angels.
- 00:10:06.869 --> 00:10:09.338
- Hell is a place of eternal torment,
- 00:10:09.371 --> 00:10:11.941
- Where there is no end to the flames.
- 00:10:11.974 --> 00:10:13.909
- No end to the stench.
- 00:10:13.943 --> 00:10:16.212
- The bible describes hell as eternal flames.
- 00:10:16.245 --> 00:10:19.115
- A lake of fire.
- 00:10:19.148 --> 00:10:20.783
- A furnace of fire with weeping and gnashing of teeth.
- 00:10:20.816 --> 00:10:24.787
- Hell is god's judgment on people who reject
- 00:10:24.820 --> 00:10:27.223
- His offer of redemption and salvation,
- 00:10:27.256 --> 00:10:30.392
- By sending his son, jesus christ, to take our place.
- 00:10:30.426 --> 00:10:34.196
- Jesus christ told a story of a rich man,
- 00:10:34.230 --> 00:10:36.899
- Who died and went to hell.
- 00:10:36.932 --> 00:10:39.635
- And a poor man by the name of lazarus
- 00:10:39.668 --> 00:10:41.570
- Who sat at his gate, wanting the crumbs
- 00:10:41.604 --> 00:10:43.806
- That fell off his table.
- 00:10:43.839 --> 00:10:45.574
- And he went to heaven.
- 00:10:45.608 --> 00:10:47.109
- And in hell, the rich man looked up
- 00:10:47.143 --> 00:10:50.279
- And he could see lazarus, this poor man,
- 00:10:50.312 --> 00:10:54.150
- Being comforted by abraham.
- 00:10:54.183 --> 00:10:56.385
- And he called to lazarus to dip his finger
- 00:10:56.418 --> 00:10:59.221
- Into some water, come touch his tongue,
- 00:10:59.255 --> 00:11:01.390
- Because of the flames and the torment that he was in.
- 00:11:01.423 --> 00:11:04.693
- But abraham said,
- 00:11:04.727 --> 00:11:06.162
- "there is a gulf between you and us."
- 00:11:06.195 --> 00:11:09.532
- "we cannot go to you and you cannot come to us."
- 00:11:09.565 --> 00:11:12.868
- But i thought about this.
- 00:11:12.902 --> 00:11:14.770
- In hell, you may be able to see.
- 00:11:14.804 --> 00:11:17.206
- You might be able to see your friends and family
- 00:11:17.239 --> 00:11:19.842
- And those that witnessed to you.
- 00:11:19.875 --> 00:11:22.244
- Those that shared the truth with you,
- 00:11:22.278 --> 00:11:23.913
- That warned you.
- 00:11:23.946 --> 00:11:25.748
- You'll see them.
- 00:11:25.781 --> 00:11:26.916
- But it's too late.
- 00:11:26.949 --> 00:11:29.618
- It's too late.
- 00:11:29.652 --> 00:11:30.786
- (siren blaring)
- 00:11:30.820 --> 00:11:32.555
- Here in california, there were sirens
- 00:11:32.588 --> 00:11:34.590
- Warning people to flee.
- 00:11:34.623 --> 00:11:36.692
- And some people quickly began to get out
- 00:11:36.725 --> 00:11:39.895
- And to get to safety.
- 00:11:39.929 --> 00:11:42.431
- How do you make preparations
- 00:11:42.464 --> 00:11:45.134
- To avoid the flames of a very real hell?
- 00:11:45.167 --> 00:11:48.938
- God has given us warnings to prepare us.
- 00:11:48.971 --> 00:11:51.207
- His word, the word of god, spiritual sirens.
- 00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:54.543
- There's a conscience right inside us, warning us.
- 00:11:54.577 --> 00:11:57.546
- Don't ignore them.
- 00:11:57.580 --> 00:11:58.981
- The only way that we can escape
- 00:11:59.014 --> 00:12:01.217
- Is through the blood of jesus christ.
- 00:12:01.250 --> 00:12:03.319
- The bible says
- 00:12:03.352 --> 00:12:04.820
- "but he was wounded
- 00:12:04.854 --> 00:12:05.754
- "for our transgressions
- 00:12:05.788 --> 00:12:06.889
- "and bruised
- 00:12:06.922 --> 00:12:07.823
- "for our iniquities,
- 00:12:07.857 --> 00:12:08.724
- "the chastisement of our peace
- 00:12:08.757 --> 00:12:10.359
- "was upon him,
- 00:12:10.392 --> 00:12:11.360
- "and by his stripes
- 00:12:11.393 --> 00:12:12.862
- "we are healed."
- 00:12:12.895 --> 00:12:14.697
- Because of his great love for us
- 00:12:14.730 --> 00:12:17.366
- Jesus, who was sinless, took our sins to the cross
- 00:12:17.399 --> 00:12:20.836
- And shed his life blood.
- 00:12:20.870 --> 00:12:23.405
- He died on that cross.
- 00:12:23.439 --> 00:12:25.174
- He was buried, and on the third day
- 00:12:25.207 --> 00:12:26.876
- God raised him to life.
- 00:12:26.909 --> 00:12:28.878
- And the bible says that
- 00:12:28.911 --> 00:12:30.012
- "god did not send his son
- 00:12:30.045 --> 00:12:31.447
- "into the world
- 00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:32.748
- "to condemn the world,
- 00:12:32.781 --> 00:12:33.782
- "but that the world
- 00:12:33.816 --> 00:12:35.251
- "through him might be saved."
- 00:12:35.284 --> 00:12:37.786
- Many people think that
- 00:12:37.820 --> 00:12:38.721
- God sent his son
- 00:12:38.754 --> 00:12:39.955
- To point his finger in our face,
- 00:12:39.989 --> 00:12:41.290
- To say, "you're wrong."
- 00:12:41.323 --> 00:12:42.458
- No, god sent his son to save us.
- 00:12:42.491 --> 00:12:45.060
- There are many people wondering,
- 00:12:45.094 --> 00:12:46.762
- In all these ashes out here,
- 00:12:46.795 --> 00:12:48.797
- "is there any hope?
- 00:12:48.831 --> 00:12:50.032
- "is there any hope for me, for my family?"
- 00:12:50.065 --> 00:12:52.034
- Well, i want you to know, yes, there is.
- 00:12:52.067 --> 00:12:53.602
- And that hope can be found in god's son, jesus christ.
- 00:12:53.636 --> 00:12:57.973
- Right now,
- 00:12:58.007 --> 00:12:59.041
- I want you to listen to every word
- 00:12:59.074 --> 00:13:01.143
- Of this powerful song by charity gayle.
- 00:13:01.176 --> 00:13:04.647
- Thank you, jesus, for the blood,
- 00:13:04.680 --> 00:13:07.049
- And consider what jesus christ has done for you.

- (graham) it was 2,000 years ago in israel,
- 00:17:54.269 --> 00:17:57.005
- And it's well-documented in history,
- 00:17:57.039 --> 00:17:59.208
- That the religious leaders of the day--
- 00:17:59.241 --> 00:18:01.710
- The scribes and the pharisees--
- 00:18:01.743 --> 00:18:03.178
- Were jealous of jesus and arrested him.
- 00:18:03.212 --> 00:18:05.247
- And they had a mock trial
- 00:18:05.280 --> 00:18:08.116
- Where they conspired to find him guilty
- 00:18:08.150 --> 00:18:10.452
- Even though he was innocent
- 00:18:10.485 --> 00:18:12.087
- So that they could have him crucified like a criminal.
- 00:18:12.120 --> 00:18:15.557
- However, they didn't have the authority
- 00:18:15.591 --> 00:18:17.226
- So they took jesus to the romans
- 00:18:17.259 --> 00:18:20.028
- And the roman governor, pilate,
- 00:18:20.062 --> 00:18:22.197
- Said he could find no fault in him,
- 00:18:22.231 --> 00:18:24.766
- But the religious leaders stirred up the crowd.
- 00:18:24.800 --> 00:18:28.570
- And they demanded that jesus be put to death.
- 00:18:28.604 --> 00:18:30.472
- They shouted, "crucify him!
- 00:18:30.505 --> 00:18:32.074
- "crucify him, crucify him!"
- 00:18:32.107 --> 00:18:34.042
- And the governor washed his hands
- 00:18:34.076 --> 00:18:36.311
- Of his responsibility,
- 00:18:36.345 --> 00:18:37.980
- And turned jesus, an innocent man,
- 00:18:38.013 --> 00:18:40.215
- Over to this mob.
- 00:18:40.249 --> 00:18:42.050
- Jesus was beaten.
- 00:18:42.084 --> 00:18:44.419
- They flogged him with whips imbedded with glass and metal
- 00:18:44.453 --> 00:18:47.823
- That shredded his back.
- 00:18:47.856 --> 00:18:50.726
- Then they crucified him.
- 00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:52.427
- And he died and shed his blood on calvary's cross.
- 00:18:52.461 --> 00:18:55.330
- And while he was on the cross,
- 00:18:55.364 --> 00:18:58.800
- God poured upon his son
- 00:18:58.834 --> 00:19:00.936
- The sins of mankind, of humanity.
- 00:19:00.969 --> 00:19:04.539
- All sins past, present, future.
- 00:19:04.573 --> 00:19:07.042
- Jesus christ took our sins to the grave.
- 00:19:07.075 --> 00:19:10.712
- He shed his blood.
- 00:19:10.746 --> 00:19:12.514
- And because he took the sins of humanity,
- 00:19:12.547 --> 00:19:16.385
- God could not look at his son.
- 00:19:16.418 --> 00:19:19.021
- He turned his back on his son.
- 00:19:19.054 --> 00:19:20.756
- See, god is holy.
- 00:19:20.789 --> 00:19:22.024
- He can't look at sin.
- 00:19:22.057 --> 00:19:25.193
- And jesus said, "my god, my god,
- 00:19:25.227 --> 00:19:27.195
- "why have you forsaken me?"
- 00:19:27.229 --> 00:19:29.464
- And jesus died and shed his blood
- 00:19:29.498 --> 00:19:31.767
- And they buried him in a tomb
- 00:19:31.800 --> 00:19:33.268
- And rolled a big stone over the opening,
- 00:19:33.302 --> 00:19:35.537
- And they sealed it.
- 00:19:35.570 --> 00:19:36.638
- But on the third day,
- 00:19:36.672 --> 00:19:38.907
- Easter morning, there was this mighty earthquake
- 00:19:38.940 --> 00:19:41.276
- That shook the city.
- 00:19:41.310 --> 00:19:43.578
- An angel descended from heaven,
- 00:19:43.612 --> 00:19:44.946
- Rolled away the stone,
- 00:19:44.980 --> 00:19:46.882
- And jesus stepped out of the tomb.
- 00:19:46.915 --> 00:19:48.950
- That tomb of sin, alive forever.
- 00:19:48.984 --> 00:19:51.053
- The grave couldn't hold him.
- 00:19:51.086 --> 00:19:53.055
- The pharisees couldn't stand him,
- 00:19:53.088 --> 00:19:54.823
- But they found no way to stop him.
- 00:19:54.856 --> 00:19:56.725
- (chuckling) death couldn't defeat him.
- 00:19:56.758 --> 00:19:58.627
- The son of god came forth triumphant.
- 00:19:58.660 --> 00:20:00.996
- And today, he's at the right hand
- 00:20:01.029 --> 00:20:03.765
- Of god the father in heaven.
- 00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:05.167
- And the bible says he's coming back.
- 00:20:05.200 --> 00:20:08.036
- And when jesus went to the cross,
- 00:20:08.070 --> 00:20:09.905
- He took your sins and my sins
- 00:20:09.938 --> 00:20:11.707
- And he paid the debt for each and every one of us.
- 00:20:11.740 --> 00:20:14.176
- And the bible tells us
- 00:20:14.209 --> 00:20:15.377
- That "we have all sinned
- 00:20:15.410 --> 00:20:16.611
- "and come short
- 00:20:16.645 --> 00:20:17.779
- "of god's glory."
- 00:20:17.813 --> 00:20:18.780
- And that "the wages
- 00:20:18.814 --> 00:20:20.215
- "of sin is death,
- 00:20:20.248 --> 00:20:21.450
- "but the gift of god
- 00:20:21.483 --> 00:20:23.018
- "is eternal life
- 00:20:23.051 --> 00:20:24.353
- "through jesus christ
- 00:20:24.386 --> 00:20:25.620
- "our lord."
- 00:20:25.654 --> 00:20:26.688
- Jesus said,
- 00:20:26.722 --> 00:20:27.522
- "but god so loved the world
- 00:20:27.556 --> 00:20:29.591
- "that he gave his only
- 00:20:29.624 --> 00:20:31.760
- "begotten son
- 00:20:31.793 --> 00:20:32.894
- "that whosoever
- 00:20:32.928 --> 00:20:34.062
- "believeth in him
- 00:20:34.096 --> 00:20:35.297
- "should not perish
- 00:20:35.330 --> 00:20:36.431
- "but have everlasting life."
- 00:20:36.465 --> 00:20:37.766
- He died in our place.
- 00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:40.068
- He was buried in our place.
- 00:20:40.102 --> 00:20:42.270
- And god raised him to life on the third day.
- 00:20:42.304 --> 00:20:45.607
- And he's alive forevermore.
- 00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:47.743
- If you're willing to repent of your sins--
- 00:20:47.776 --> 00:20:50.746
- That means to turn away from those sins--
- 00:20:50.779 --> 00:20:52.914
- And believe by faith on the name
- 00:20:52.948 --> 00:20:55.450
- Of the lord jesus christ, you'll be saved.
- 00:20:55.484 --> 00:20:58.487
- Not only will he forgive your sins and heal your heart,
- 00:20:58.520 --> 00:21:01.089
- But he will welcome you to be with him
- 00:21:01.123 --> 00:21:03.225
- In heaven for eternity.
- 00:21:03.258 --> 00:21:04.726
- What are the consequences
- 00:21:04.760 --> 00:21:06.595
- If you reject such a great salvation?
- 00:21:06.628 --> 00:21:10.365
- On that day, when you stand before god,
- 00:21:10.399 --> 00:21:12.834
- He's going to ask you:
- 00:21:12.868 --> 00:21:14.336
- "what did you do with my son?
- 00:21:14.369 --> 00:21:15.737
- "did you believe him?
- 00:21:15.771 --> 00:21:16.738
- "did you trust him?
- 00:21:16.772 --> 00:21:18.073
- "did you surrender your life to him?"
- 00:21:18.106 --> 00:21:20.876
- You'll have to say no.
- 00:21:20.909 --> 00:21:23.178
- Oh, you may have lots of excuses like,
- 00:21:23.211 --> 00:21:25.213
- "i didn't think i was good enough."
- 00:21:25.247 --> 00:21:27.115
- "i was going through a divorce."
- 00:21:27.149 --> 00:21:29.851
- "i was so busy, i just didn't have time."
- 00:21:29.885 --> 00:21:34.456
- There's not one excuse that god will accept.
- 00:21:34.489 --> 00:21:36.124
- It will be too late.
- 00:21:36.158 --> 00:21:37.893
- He is giving you an opportunity to change right now.
- 00:21:37.926 --> 00:21:41.296
- And right now, this minute,
- 00:21:41.329 --> 00:21:43.298
- You can accept christ or you can reject him.
- 00:21:43.331 --> 00:21:45.901
- But it's your choice,
- 00:21:45.934 --> 00:21:47.102
- You have to make that decision.
- 00:21:47.135 --> 00:21:48.637
- And as we come to this easter,
- 00:21:48.670 --> 00:21:50.539
- We celebrate new life,
- 00:21:50.572 --> 00:21:52.707
- We celebrate, uh, a new chance.
- 00:21:52.741 --> 00:21:55.444
- You see, god is the god of the second chance.
- 00:21:55.477 --> 00:21:57.779
- And you've got an opportunity right now
- 00:21:57.813 --> 00:21:59.080
- To put your faith and trust in christ.
- 00:21:59.114 --> 00:22:01.249
- You don't have to give money.
- 00:22:01.283 --> 00:22:03.185
- You don't have to do some hard work.
- 00:22:03.218 --> 00:22:05.654
- All you have to do is, just by faith, say,
- 00:22:05.687 --> 00:22:07.589
- "god, i believe this.
- 00:22:07.622 --> 00:22:08.757
- "i believe that you sent your son
- 00:22:08.790 --> 00:22:10.258
- "and i believe that he died on the cross.
- 00:22:10.292 --> 00:22:12.160
- "i believe that he died for me,
- 00:22:12.194 --> 00:22:13.862
- "that he shed his blood for me.
- 00:22:13.895 --> 00:22:15.263
- "i believe it, and i'm willing to accept it."
- 00:22:15.297 --> 00:22:17.399
- If you're willing to do this simply by faith,
- 00:22:17.432 --> 00:22:20.902
- Right now god will forgive you, he'll heal you,
- 00:22:20.936 --> 00:22:23.872
- He'll cleanse you,
- 00:22:23.905 --> 00:22:25.073
- He'll give you a new opportunity.
- 00:22:25.106 --> 00:22:26.241
- But you have to do this right now by faith.
- 00:22:26.274 --> 00:22:29.344
- And if you'll pray this prayer with me,
- 00:22:29.377 --> 00:22:30.545
- God will hear you, okay?
- 00:22:30.579 --> 00:22:32.781
- If you'd like to invite christ into your heart,
- 00:22:32.814 --> 00:22:34.783
- Just pray this prayer with me right now.
- 00:22:34.816 --> 00:22:37.052
- Just say, god, i'm a sinner.
- 00:22:37.085 --> 00:22:39.354
- I'm sorry for my sins.
- 00:22:39.387 --> 00:22:41.456
- I believe jesus is your son
- 00:22:41.490 --> 00:22:43.959
- Who took my sins to the cross,
- 00:22:43.992 --> 00:22:46.228
- Who shed his blood and died for me,
- 00:22:46.261 --> 00:22:49.364
- That he was buried and took my sins to the grave,
- 00:22:49.397 --> 00:22:52.901
- And on the third day
- 00:22:52.934 --> 00:22:54.135
- That you raised your son to life,
- 00:22:54.169 --> 00:22:56.605
- And i'd like to invite him to come into my heart
- 00:22:56.638 --> 00:22:58.874
- To take control of my life
- 00:22:58.907 --> 00:23:01.009
- From this day forward, forever.
- 00:23:01.042 --> 00:23:03.578
- And i pray this in jesus' name.
- 00:23:03.612 --> 00:23:06.047
- Amen.
- 00:23:06.081 --> 00:23:08.350
- If you prayed that prayer,
- 00:23:08.383 --> 00:23:10.051
- Know that he has forgiven you.
- 00:23:10.085 --> 00:23:11.920
- And he'll one day invite you to be with him
- 00:23:11.953 --> 00:23:14.556
- In heaven for eternity.
- 00:23:14.589 --> 00:23:15.891
