  • Obed: thirty years had passed, and i still thought back to
  • 00:02:24.059 --> 00:02:26.828
  • That night.
  • 00:02:26.828 --> 00:02:28.163
  • I remember the look on mary's face.
  • 00:02:28.163 --> 00:02:30.899
  • It seemed like there was so much more than she could
  • 00:02:30.899 --> 00:02:33.569
  • Ever express.
  • 00:02:33.569 --> 00:02:35.804
  • So much changed on our hillside.
  • 00:02:35.804 --> 00:02:38.207
  • Mary and joseph left eventually with their child, and bara was
  • 00:02:38.207 --> 00:02:42.411
  • Gone for good, but part of me knew that he wouldn't stick
  • 00:02:42.411 --> 00:02:45.647
  • Around forever, and i was left alone to tend the sheep, like a
  • 00:02:45.647 --> 00:02:50.085
  • Good shepherd should.
  • 00:02:50.085 --> 00:02:52.254
  • I struggled to hold on to faith.
  • 00:02:52.254 --> 00:02:55.324
  • I had seen so much, and there was so much that still didn't
  • 00:02:55.324 --> 00:02:59.394
  • Make sense.
  • 00:02:59.394 --> 00:03:00.796
  • Rome still had an ironclad grip on our people, and it was as if
  • 00:03:00.796 --> 00:03:05.033
  • God had gone silent again.
  • 00:03:05.033 --> 00:03:09.037
  • But just as before, when my faith was growing weak,
  • 00:03:09.037 --> 00:03:13.475
  • Something amazing happened.
  • 00:03:13.475 --> 00:03:16.211
  • News began spreading about a teacher that john the baptist
  • 00:03:16.211 --> 00:03:20.582
  • Introduced to israel as the lamb of god who takes away the sin of
  • 00:03:20.582 --> 00:03:26.421
  • The world.
  • 00:03:26.421 --> 00:03:28.056
  • He would teach wherever he went, and the crowds kept growing.
  • 00:03:28.056 --> 00:03:32.394
  • Thousands would sit for hours, hanging onto every word that
  • 00:03:32.394 --> 00:03:35.831
  • Came from his mouth.
  • 00:03:35.831 --> 00:03:37.733
  • I remember on one occasion the ruler of the synagogue came to
  • 00:03:37.733 --> 00:03:41.737
  • Jesus, desperately telling him that his daughter was
  • 00:03:41.737 --> 00:03:45.741
  • Near death.
  • 00:03:45.741 --> 00:03:47.242
  • Without hesitation, jesus followed the man back towards
  • 00:03:47.242 --> 00:03:50.846
  • His home.
  • 00:03:50.846 --> 00:03:52.214
  • As they arrived, they were greeted by a grieving mob that
  • 00:03:52.214 --> 00:03:55.617
  • Gave them the news that they were too late.
  • 00:03:55.617 --> 00:03:58.287
  • She was already dead, but that didn't stop jesus.
  • 00:03:58.287 --> 00:04:02.524
  • He went right inside the house, he found the bed where the girl
  • 00:04:02.524 --> 00:04:06.628
  • Lay, he gently lifted her hand and said to her--
  • 00:04:06.628 --> 00:04:12.034
  • Jesus: arise.
  • 00:04:12.034 --> 00:04:14.703
  • Obed: suddenly she sat up, she was on her feet, she was alive.
  • 00:04:14.703 --> 00:04:21.109
  • We were all amazed.
  • 00:04:21.109 --> 00:04:22.444
  • How was he doing this?
  • 00:04:22.444 --> 00:04:24.579
  • Everywhere he went, the blind could see, the lame could walk,
  • 00:04:24.579 --> 00:04:29.284
  • The hungry were fed, and the dead were raised to life.
  • 00:04:29.284 --> 00:04:34.323
  • It was amazing.
  • 00:04:34.323 --> 00:04:36.925
  • I watched as he walked down the mount of olives into the growing
  • 00:04:36.925 --> 00:04:39.961
  • Crowd of people.
  • 00:04:39.961 --> 00:04:41.296

  • Meal with his disciples,
  • 00:06:33.860 --> 00:06:35.461
  • And then he led them off to a quiet
  • 00:06:35.461 --> 00:06:36.863
  • Olive grove called gethsemane, where jesus knelt to pray.
  • 00:06:36.863 --> 00:06:41.134
  • His disciples fell asleep, but soon, they were awakened by

  • Imagine god himself being nailed by people that he created.

  • He's being nailed to a cross.
  • 00:20:10.376 --> 00:20:13.078
  • Those nails could not hold jesus on that cross unless he was a
  • 00:20:13.078 --> 00:20:16.281
  • Willing sacrifice.
  • 00:20:16.281 --> 00:20:17.850
  • He was the promised lamb.
  • 00:20:17.850 --> 00:20:20.085
  • He came to die for our sins, as all of these

  • Sacrifices pictured.
  • 00:20:23.288 --> 00:20:25.290
  • But there had to be a perfect human sacrifice, and only god
  • 00:20:25.290 --> 00:20:28.794
  • Could be that.
  • 00:20:28.794 --> 00:20:30.195
  • It was predicted, it was fulfilled in yeshua jesus.
  • 00:20:30.195 --> 00:20:33.665
  • He died for our sins and rose again.
  • 00:20:33.665 --> 00:20:35.634

  • Try to save yourself, but put your full trust and dependence
  • 00:20:57.623 --> 00:21:01.193
  • In jesus as a sinner, we all need to do that.
  • 00:21:01.193 --> 00:21:04.730
  • And once we do that, once we make that choice, once we make
  • 00:21:04.730 --> 00:21:07.633
  • That conscious decision to believe in him, the bible says
  • 00:21:07.633 --> 00:21:11.737
