  • ...
  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:01.310
  • Joseph prince: you might have fear
  • 00:00:12.654 --> 00:00:13.989
  • About being left alone, fear of losing someone you love,
  • 00:00:13.989 --> 00:00:18.427
  • Fear of losing your money, fear of the future,
  • 00:00:18.427 --> 00:00:21.930
  • Fear of not being able to accomplish something.
  • 00:00:21.930 --> 00:00:24.366
  • I want to say this to you.
  • 00:00:24.366 --> 00:00:25.701
  • Jesus has--when he says, "peace be unto you,"
  • 00:00:25.701 --> 00:00:27.936
  • He's saying health be unto you,
  • 00:00:27.936 --> 00:00:30.572
  • Well -being be unto you and your family.
  • 00:00:30.572 --> 00:00:33.142
  • He said it in the last supper.
  • 00:00:33.142 --> 00:00:34.476
  • He says, "peace i leave with you.
  • 00:00:34.476 --> 00:00:36.178
  • My peace i give unto you.
  • 00:00:36.178 --> 00:00:37.980
  • Not as the world gives, i give unto you.
  • 00:00:37.980 --> 00:00:41.416
  • Let not your heart be troubled." that's our part.
  • 00:00:41.416 --> 00:00:44.953
  • "neither let it be afraid," and then that health
  • 00:00:44.953 --> 00:00:47.789
  • Will reign in your body,
  • 00:00:47.789 --> 00:00:49.758
  • That health will reign in your child's body,
  • 00:00:49.758 --> 00:00:52.194
  • That peace will happen in your family.
  • 00:00:52.194 --> 00:00:55.063
  • "let not your heart be troubled."
  • 00:00:55.063 --> 00:00:57.332

  • 00:01:57.993 --> 00:02:00.596
  • Announcer: and now, here's pastor joseph prince
  • 00:02:00.662 --> 00:02:02.798
  • With today's program.
  • 00:02:02.798 --> 00:02:04.132
  • Joseph prince: "now the first day of the week
  • 00:02:04.132 --> 00:02:05.467
  • Mary magdalene went to the tomb early,
  • 00:02:05.467 --> 00:02:07.002
  • While it was still dark, and saw that the stone
  • 00:02:07.002 --> 00:02:09.905
  • Had been taken away from the tomb."
  • 00:02:09.905 --> 00:02:11.907
  • The stone was removed not for jesus to come out.
  • 00:02:11.907 --> 00:02:14.443
  • Jesus can transcend time and space.
  • 00:02:14.443 --> 00:02:16.078
  • Even though jesus had a body that is matter,
  • 00:02:16.078 --> 00:02:19.047
  • But that matter was greater than the matter he created.
  • 00:02:19.047 --> 00:02:21.683
  • As much as the creator is greater than his creation,
  • 00:02:21.683 --> 00:02:24.586
  • All right, his body is matter, but it can transcend bricks.
  • 00:02:24.586 --> 00:02:29.024
  • It can transcend-- it can appear and reappear in a bolted room.
  • 00:02:29.024 --> 00:02:34.463
  • Are you listening?
  • 00:02:34.463 --> 00:02:35.797
  • So jesus does not need the stone to be removed to come out.
  • 00:02:35.797 --> 00:02:38.567
  • The stone was removed for people outside to look in.
  • 00:02:38.567 --> 00:02:41.903
  • Until today, you can still look in,
  • 00:02:41.903 --> 00:02:44.539
  • In israel, in the garden tomb, to see
  • 00:02:44.539 --> 00:02:46.742
  • That the tomb is empty, hallelujah.
  • 00:02:46.742 --> 00:02:49.444
  • And the bible says, "then she ran
  • 00:02:49.444 --> 00:02:50.779
  • And came to simon peter, and to the other disciple,
  • 00:02:50.779 --> 00:02:53.415
  • Whom jesus loved."
  • 00:02:53.415 --> 00:02:54.783
  • And we all know that's john.
  • 00:02:54.783 --> 00:02:56.151
  • By the way, there are five times in the gospel of john himself
  • 00:02:56.151 --> 00:02:58.920
  • Where he says-- he calls himself the disciple whom jesus loved.
  • 00:02:58.920 --> 00:03:02.991
  • And in all five times, it is in the imperfect tense,
  • 00:03:02.991 --> 00:03:06.662
  • Which means it's not "loved," past tense.
  • 00:03:06.662 --> 00:03:08.730
  • It is actually the disciple whom jesus keeps on loving.
  • 00:03:08.730 --> 00:03:12.501
  • Imperfect means keeps on loving, amen.
  • 00:03:12.501 --> 00:03:15.771
  • It has no end.
  • 00:03:15.771 --> 00:03:17.439
  • But out of five times that the phrase appears,
  • 00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:21.143
  • Four times it says agapao, the disciple
  • 00:03:21.143 --> 00:03:23.478
  • Whom jesus loved with a god kind of love.
  • 00:03:23.478 --> 00:03:26.815
  • But here is the first place it says, "whom jesus phileo,"
  • 00:03:26.815 --> 00:03:30.619
  • Okay?
  • 00:03:30.619 --> 00:03:31.953
  • Phileo means, like, fond of.
  • 00:03:31.953 --> 00:03:34.022
  • So he also calls himself not only the disciple
  • 00:03:34.022 --> 00:03:35.791
  • Whom jesus loves with the highest kind of love,
  • 00:03:35.791 --> 00:03:38.093
  • But jesus is fond of me.
  • 00:03:38.093 --> 00:03:40.796
  • Hey, isn't that great, amen?
  • 00:03:40.796 --> 00:03:42.931
  • Then he says both simon peter and him were told by mary,
  • 00:03:42.931 --> 00:03:47.269
  • "they have taken away the lord out of the tomb,
  • 00:03:47.269 --> 00:03:49.004
  • And we don't know where they have laid him."
  • 00:03:49.004 --> 00:03:50.539
  • So none of them believed he rose from the dead, amen.
  • 00:03:50.539 --> 00:03:55.277
  • Mary had a heart of love but no faith.
  • 00:03:55.277 --> 00:03:59.481
  • Her heart was full of love for jesus,
  • 00:03:59.481 --> 00:04:01.583
  • But she had no intelligent faith.
  • 00:04:01.583 --> 00:04:03.552
  • She didn't believe he rose from the dead.
  • 00:04:03.552 --> 00:04:04.886
  • She believed somebody stole the body.
  • 00:04:04.886 --> 00:04:06.688
  • Somebody brought his body somewhere,
  • 00:04:06.688 --> 00:04:08.056
  • At least, and laid him somewhere else.
  • 00:04:08.056 --> 00:04:09.958
  • So next, "peter therefore went out,
  • 00:04:09.958 --> 00:04:12.594
  • And the other disciple, and were going to the tomb.
  • 00:04:12.594 --> 00:04:14.796
  • So they both ran together."
  • 00:04:14.796 --> 00:04:16.131
  • They both started running together,
  • 00:04:16.131 --> 00:04:17.466
  • Peter and john.
  • 00:04:17.466 --> 00:04:18.800
  • "and the other disciple," john, "outran peter
  • 00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:21.303
  • And came to the tomb first."
  • 00:04:21.303 --> 00:04:22.971
  • There are no insignificant details
  • 00:04:22.971 --> 00:04:24.539
  • In the bible.
  • 00:04:24.539 --> 00:04:25.874
  • I believe the reason why john overtook peter
  • 00:04:25.874 --> 00:04:28.677
  • Is not because john was younger.
  • 00:04:28.677 --> 00:04:31.680
  • It's because at this point in time,
  • 00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:33.181
  • Peter was not restored yet.
  • 00:04:33.181 --> 00:04:36.685
  • Guilty feet have got no rhythm.
  • 00:04:36.685 --> 00:04:40.722
  • It's hard to run with guilty feet, amen?
  • 00:04:40.722 --> 00:04:45.193
  • Does this sound like an old hymn?
  • 00:04:45.193 --> 00:04:47.796
  • ♪ guilty feet have got no rhythm. ♪
  • 00:04:47.796 --> 00:04:51.500
  • ♪ though it's easy to pretend, i know you're not a fool. ♪
  • 00:04:51.500 --> 00:04:57.539
  • ♪ should have known better than-- ♪♪
  • 00:04:57.539 --> 00:04:59.141
  • Okay, anyway, does that remind you
  • 00:04:59.141 --> 00:05:01.777
  • Of an old hymn?
  • 00:05:01.777 --> 00:05:03.478
  • Still didn't get it. okay, never mind.
  • 00:05:03.478 --> 00:05:05.680
  • All right, anyway, he outran peter
  • 00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:07.449
  • And came to the tomb first.
  • 00:05:07.449 --> 00:05:09.217
  • "and john, stooping down and looking in,
  • 00:05:09.217 --> 00:05:12.354
  • Saw the linen clothes lying there;
  • 00:05:12.354 --> 00:05:14.256
  • Yet he did not go in."
  • 00:05:14.256 --> 00:05:15.590
  • Now, he saw the linen clothes.
  • 00:05:15.590 --> 00:05:16.925
  • But notice this word, "lying there."
  • 00:05:16.925 --> 00:05:19.628
  • Very, very important.
  • 00:05:19.628 --> 00:05:21.530
  • He could have just said he saw the linen clothes.
  • 00:05:21.530 --> 00:05:23.732
  • But not just--not that.
  • 00:05:23.732 --> 00:05:25.066
  • He saw the linen clothes lying there,
  • 00:05:25.066 --> 00:05:27.369
  • As if no one has touched it.
  • 00:05:27.369 --> 00:05:29.538
  • Number one, if there was a thief,
  • 00:05:29.538 --> 00:05:32.240
  • Why would the thief take time to unwrap the body,
  • 00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:39.481
  • Take the body, and leave the expensive linen clothes?
  • 00:05:39.481 --> 00:05:43.852
  • Just like, you know, it's still brand new,
  • 00:05:43.852 --> 00:05:45.620
  • And linen is very expensive.
  • 00:05:45.620 --> 00:05:47.255
  • Why would a thief even take time to unwrap the body?
  • 00:05:47.255 --> 00:05:51.526
  • And by the way, it's hard to unwrap.
  • 00:05:51.526 --> 00:05:53.462
  • Have you seen a cocoon, like a mummy, you know?
  • 00:05:53.462 --> 00:05:56.531
  • Have you seen this kind of thing in the british museum
  • 00:05:56.531 --> 00:05:57.999
  • And all that?
  • 00:05:57.999 --> 00:05:59.334
  • It is still in the same shape.
  • 00:05:59.334 --> 00:06:00.702
  • But by the way, for them, there's a body inside.
  • 00:06:00.702 --> 00:06:03.238
  • But it's like when jesus came out,
  • 00:06:03.238 --> 00:06:05.006
  • His body was glorified.
  • 00:06:05.006 --> 00:06:07.442
  • He transcend that whole thing, still is an empty shell.
  • 00:06:07.442 --> 00:06:10.946
  • It's like an empty cocoon.
  • 00:06:10.946 --> 00:06:13.849
  • It's still lying there, but there's no one inside.
  • 00:06:13.849 --> 00:06:18.253
  • He saw the linen clothes lying there, hm?
  • 00:06:18.253 --> 00:06:25.160
  • You know, when you think about it,
  • 00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:26.595
  • Later on, the pharisees, the enemies of christ,
  • 00:06:26.595 --> 00:06:30.499
  • They said to the soldiers who saw the angels,
  • 00:06:30.499 --> 00:06:35.570
  • And they fell like dead men.
  • 00:06:35.570 --> 00:06:37.138
  • They told the soldiers, "if you will go around
  • 00:06:37.138 --> 00:06:39.374
  • Saying that their body was stolen,
  • 00:06:39.374 --> 00:06:42.143
  • We'll give you lots and lots of money
  • 00:06:42.143 --> 00:06:43.979
  • And we'll take care of your generals as well, okay?
  • 00:06:43.979 --> 00:06:46.515
  • We'll know what to talk to them about."
  • 00:06:46.515 --> 00:06:48.483
  • And they took that and they publicized a lie
  • 00:06:48.483 --> 00:06:51.553
  • Saying that someone stole the body.
  • 00:06:51.553 --> 00:06:52.888
  • Again, if someone steals the body,
  • 00:06:52.888 --> 00:06:54.222
  • Why leave the linen clothes behind?
  • 00:06:54.222 --> 00:06:57.025
  • Number two, in all the preaching of the apostles
  • 00:06:57.025 --> 00:07:00.262
  • In the book of acts, the pharisees will dispute
  • 00:07:00.262 --> 00:07:03.064
  • Their preaching, but never did one time,
  • 00:07:03.064 --> 00:07:05.267
  • If the pharisees stole the body, if the pharisees
  • 00:07:05.267 --> 00:07:08.803
  • Stole the corpse of jesus, the fastest way
  • 00:07:08.803 --> 00:07:11.706
  • To put an end to the preaching of the disciples
  • 00:07:11.706 --> 00:07:14.409
  • And the apostles is to produce the dead corpse
  • 00:07:14.409 --> 00:07:17.045
  • Of our lord jesus.
  • 00:07:17.045 --> 00:07:18.980
  • But never one time, they will dispute the apostles,
  • 00:07:18.980 --> 00:07:21.416
  • But never one time could the pharisees
  • 00:07:21.416 --> 00:07:22.817
  • Produce the body.
  • 00:07:22.817 --> 00:07:25.353
  • Are you all with me so far?
  • 00:07:25.353 --> 00:07:27.422
  • Amen, another thing, very interesting.
  • 00:07:27.422 --> 00:07:29.391
  • All these men were fearful men.
  • 00:07:29.391 --> 00:07:32.060
  • They were men like you and i.
  • 00:07:32.060 --> 00:07:34.329
  • But something happened to them after the resurrection.
  • 00:07:34.329 --> 00:07:37.032
  • They became bold, no longer timid.
  • 00:07:37.032 --> 00:07:39.734
  • They preached openly.
  • 00:07:39.734 --> 00:07:41.770
  • They were hiding in the upper room.
  • 00:07:41.770 --> 00:07:43.738
  • But now they went out and preached openly.
  • 00:07:43.738 --> 00:07:45.440
  • Throughout the book of acts, you will see them with boldness,
  • 00:07:45.440 --> 00:07:47.375
  • They preach.
  • 00:07:47.375 --> 00:07:48.710
  • Now i tell you this, if all come together
  • 00:07:48.710 --> 00:07:50.345
  • And they all say, "let's concoct a story
  • 00:07:50.345 --> 00:07:51.813
  • Of the resurrection, let's pretend
  • 00:07:51.813 --> 00:07:53.415
  • He rose from the dead,"
  • 00:07:53.415 --> 00:07:54.783
  • No matter how much you pretend,
  • 00:07:54.783 --> 00:07:56.117
  • No matter how much you lie, there comes a time
  • 00:07:56.117 --> 00:07:58.687
  • Under the rack and the torture when enough pressure
  • 00:07:58.687 --> 00:08:01.256
  • Is put on you, all right, to save your life,
  • 00:08:01.256 --> 00:08:04.859
  • You will spill the beans.
  • 00:08:04.859 --> 00:08:07.529
  • But do you know that every one of them,
  • 00:08:07.529 --> 00:08:09.297
  • Except john, john lived to a good old age,
  • 00:08:09.297 --> 00:08:11.199
  • But every one of them died for the gospel of jesus christ.
  • 00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:17.005
  • They died for the name of jesus,
  • 00:08:17.005 --> 00:08:19.507
  • Amen.
  • 00:08:19.507 --> 00:08:20.842
  • Let's move right along.
  • 00:08:20.842 --> 00:08:22.177
  • "so john stooped down and saw the linen cloths
  • 00:08:22.177 --> 00:08:23.979
  • Lying there; yet he did not go in."
  • 00:08:23.979 --> 00:08:25.981
  • Now by the way, see the word "saw" there?
  • 00:08:25.981 --> 00:08:28.383
  • All right, you'll see that peter and john
  • 00:08:28.383 --> 00:08:31.386
  • Using words--three words on seeing, seeing.
  • 00:08:31.386 --> 00:08:35.023
  • Saw, saw, saw.
  • 00:08:35.023 --> 00:08:36.458
  • And all three are three different greek words
  • 00:08:36.458 --> 00:08:38.960
  • Which i think if you understand, it's going to bless you a lot.
  • 00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:41.229
  • Because in church, there are three kinds of seeing
  • 00:08:41.229 --> 00:08:43.331
  • That goes on, all right?
  • 00:08:43.331 --> 00:08:44.666
  • This first kind of seeing, "john saw the linen clothes
  • 00:08:44.666 --> 00:08:46.935
  • Lying there," is the word "blepo,"
  • 00:08:46.935 --> 00:08:48.536
  • Which is nothing more than just seeing
  • 00:08:48.536 --> 00:08:49.871
  • With your physical eye.
  • 00:08:49.871 --> 00:08:51.539
  • Like you see me now, i look at you now.
  • 00:08:51.539 --> 00:08:53.308
  • That's blepo, all right?
  • 00:08:53.308 --> 00:08:55.210
  • Bleep, it's just a bleep, all right?
  • 00:08:55.210 --> 00:08:57.579
  • You just take a look at me, i take a look at you.
  • 00:08:57.579 --> 00:08:59.681
  • The physical eyes, all right? to see naturally.
  • 00:08:59.681 --> 00:09:02.617
  • Then the next verse says, "then simon peter came,
  • 00:09:02.617 --> 00:09:05.420
  • Following him, and peter went into the tomb."
  • 00:09:05.420 --> 00:09:08.023
  • So john was outside, stooping down.
  • 00:09:08.023 --> 00:09:10.158
  • By the way, if you go to the garden tomb,
  • 00:09:10.158 --> 00:09:11.493
  • Which i believe is the real empty tomb of jesus,
  • 00:09:11.493 --> 00:09:14.996
  • Do you know when you stand outside,
  • 00:09:14.996 --> 00:09:16.331
  • You have to stoop down to see the place
  • 00:09:16.331 --> 00:09:17.832
  • Where jesus lay?
  • 00:09:17.832 --> 00:09:19.167
  • So that again confirms it.
  • 00:09:19.167 --> 00:09:20.568
  • So as john was stooping down, just blepo, just looking,
  • 00:09:20.568 --> 00:09:24.205
  • Peter came in here, and he went in right ahead,
  • 00:09:24.205 --> 00:09:26.808
  • All right?
  • 00:09:26.808 --> 00:09:28.143
  • "and he went into the tomb: and he saw
  • 00:09:28.143 --> 00:09:29.477
  • The linen clothes lying there."
  • 00:09:29.477 --> 00:09:30.812
  • He also saw it.
  • 00:09:30.812 --> 00:09:32.147
  • But this saw is a different greek word.
  • 00:09:32.147 --> 00:09:33.648
  • It is the word "theoreo," where we get our english word
  • 00:09:33.648 --> 00:09:37.419
  • For theory.
  • 00:09:37.419 --> 00:09:40.789
  • Now, to see with logical reasoning,
  • 00:09:40.789 --> 00:09:44.526
  • "why--why is it empty?
  • 00:09:44.526 --> 00:09:48.063
  • And why is the linen clothes lying there?
  • 00:09:48.063 --> 00:09:50.432
  • And if a thief steals, why does he leave behind
  • 00:09:50.432 --> 00:09:52.434
  • The linen clothes, which is more expensive?
  • 00:09:52.434 --> 00:09:56.371
  • And why is it lying there as if it was done
  • 00:09:56.371 --> 00:10:00.742
  • With enough time?
  • 00:10:00.742 --> 00:10:02.477
  • No haste, no rush."
  • 00:10:02.477 --> 00:10:05.280
  • A thief will always have symptoms
  • 00:10:05.280 --> 00:10:06.915
  • And signs of the rush and the haste.
  • 00:10:06.915 --> 00:10:10.218
  • Am i right?
  • 00:10:10.218 --> 00:10:11.553
  • "this one, the linen cloths are still there.
  • 00:10:11.553 --> 00:10:16.224
  • No signs of haste, no signs of hurriedness."
  • 00:10:16.224 --> 00:10:20.462
  • So he's theorizing.
  • 00:10:20.462 --> 00:10:22.764
  • That's pretty good. it's better than just looking.
  • 00:10:22.764 --> 00:10:25.233
  • But let me show you the third one.
  • 00:10:25.233 --> 00:10:27.469
  • "and he saw the linen clothes lying there,
  • 00:10:27.469 --> 00:10:29.137
  • And the handkerchief that had been
  • 00:10:29.137 --> 00:10:30.472
  • Around jesus's head, not lying with the linen cloths,
  • 00:10:30.472 --> 00:10:33.374
  • But folded together in a place by itself."
  • 00:10:33.374 --> 00:10:35.677
  • Let me tell you this, if a thief is rushing,
  • 00:10:35.677 --> 00:10:37.912
  • He unwrap everything, all right?
  • 00:10:37.912 --> 00:10:39.714
  • Can you imagine the thief say, "hang on, hang on.
  • 00:10:39.714 --> 00:10:41.382
  • I must wrap this and fold it together.
  • 00:10:41.382 --> 00:10:43.985
  • Yeah, my mother says must fold, no, kind of thing,"
  • 00:10:43.985 --> 00:10:46.788
  • You know?
  • 00:10:46.788 --> 00:10:48.623
  • So that very thing caused him to theoreo.
  • 00:10:48.623 --> 00:10:51.092
  • When he looked at it, he says, blink, blink, you know?
  • 00:10:51.092 --> 00:10:54.162
  • "what's going on down here?"
  • 00:10:54.162 --> 00:10:55.930
  • Are you with me so far?
  • 00:10:55.930 --> 00:10:57.298
  • All right, then it says, "it's folded together
  • 00:10:57.298 --> 00:10:59.534
  • In a place by itself.
  • 00:10:59.534 --> 00:11:01.336
  • Then the other disciple," who is john,
  • 00:11:01.336 --> 00:11:03.238
  • "who came into the tomb first, he went in also;
  • 00:11:03.238 --> 00:11:05.740
  • And he saw and believed."
  • 00:11:05.740 --> 00:11:08.209
  • Now there's a third word for "saw" in the greek,
  • 00:11:08.209 --> 00:11:10.578
  • And this word here is "eido."
  • 00:11:10.578 --> 00:11:12.814
  • And eido is intuitive seeing, is to see by the holy spirit,
  • 00:11:12.814 --> 00:11:18.219
  • Is to see by the holy spirit.
  • 00:11:18.219 --> 00:11:20.522
  • Like the new covenant says, "no longer will they say,
  • 00:11:20.522 --> 00:11:23.358
  • 'ginosko,'" know the lord, know the lord,
  • 00:11:23.358 --> 00:11:26.027
  • Ginosko the lord, or know by experience,
  • 00:11:26.027 --> 00:11:28.963
  • "but all shall eido me."
  • 00:11:28.963 --> 00:11:31.633
  • "all those who believe in me, they will know me intuitively."
  • 00:11:31.633 --> 00:11:35.870
  • It's a beautiful word, amen.
  • 00:11:35.870 --> 00:11:37.672
  • Sometimes people see and yet they don't see.
  • 00:11:37.672 --> 00:11:40.542
  • Some people look at these verses that i'm sharing and they see.
  • 00:11:40.542 --> 00:11:43.711
  • Blessed are your eyes, for they see, amen, okay?
  • 00:11:43.711 --> 00:11:47.982
  • So those are three words for seeing.
  • 00:11:47.982 --> 00:11:49.684
  • The first one, blepo, just plain seeing.
  • 00:11:49.684 --> 00:11:52.187
  • Theoreo, seeing with logical reasoning,
  • 00:11:52.187 --> 00:11:54.989
  • Theorizing.
  • 00:11:54.989 --> 00:11:56.324
  • And then the last one is revelation seeing,
  • 00:11:56.324 --> 00:11:58.259
  • Seeing intuitively.
  • 00:11:58.259 --> 00:11:59.627
  • And john was the first one that believed.
  • 00:11:59.627 --> 00:12:02.263
  • John saw and john believed.
  • 00:12:02.263 --> 00:12:04.933
  • I mean, jesus appeared to peter later on first, all right?
  • 00:12:04.933 --> 00:12:08.469
  • The first man was peter.
  • 00:12:08.469 --> 00:12:09.804
  • The first woman was mary magdalene
  • 00:12:09.804 --> 00:12:11.139
  • He appeared to.
  • 00:12:11.139 --> 00:12:12.473
  • But john was the first one to believed.
  • 00:12:12.473 --> 00:12:14.509
  • Because the bible says, next verse, "for as yet
  • 00:12:14.509 --> 00:12:16.678
  • They did not know the scripture, that he must rise again
  • 00:12:16.678 --> 00:12:18.980
  • From the dead."
  • 00:12:18.980 --> 00:12:20.315
  • So to that point, they still didn't believe
  • 00:12:20.315 --> 00:12:22.350
  • Or understand the scripture that he must rise from the dead.
  • 00:12:22.350 --> 00:12:25.253
  • Let's go on.
  • 00:12:25.253 --> 00:12:26.588
  • "then the disciples went away again to their own homes.
  • 00:12:26.588 --> 00:12:28.790
  • But mary," mary magdalene, "stood outside the tomb weeping,
  • 00:12:28.790 --> 00:12:33.228
  • And as she wept, she stooped down
  • 00:12:33.228 --> 00:12:35.363
  • And looked into the tomb."
  • 00:12:35.363 --> 00:12:36.764
  • Now, i want to tell you something.
  • 00:12:36.764 --> 00:12:38.666
  • This is the gospel of john.
  • 00:12:38.666 --> 00:12:40.301
  • And when jesus was dying on the cross,
  • 00:12:40.301 --> 00:12:42.003
  • Jesus looked down, and jesus says,
  • 00:12:42.003 --> 00:12:43.571
  • "mary, behold your son.
  • 00:12:43.571 --> 00:12:45.340
  • John, behold your mother."
  • 00:12:45.340 --> 00:12:46.774
  • In other words, adopt my mother as your mother, all right?
  • 00:12:46.774 --> 00:12:50.778
  • And he told his mom to adopt john, his disciple,
  • 00:12:50.778 --> 00:12:53.948
  • As her son.
  • 00:12:53.948 --> 00:12:56.050
  • Isn't it wonderful that the lord make provisions like this?
  • 00:12:56.050 --> 00:12:59.354
  • Honor your father and mother, amen.
  • 00:12:59.354 --> 00:13:01.923
  • Even when he's dying, he make sure
  • 00:13:01.923 --> 00:13:03.791
  • That his mother is taken care of.
  • 00:13:03.791 --> 00:13:05.693
  • And the bible says that john, that was the same john
  • 00:13:05.693 --> 00:13:09.230
  • That wrote this gospel.
  • 00:13:09.230 --> 00:13:10.832
  • Don't you think that he loved mary,
  • 00:13:10.832 --> 00:13:14.035
  • The mother of jesus more?
  • 00:13:14.035 --> 00:13:16.037
  • And he would actually have positioned himself
  • 00:13:16.037 --> 00:13:17.472
  • In such a way that he would talk about mary,
  • 00:13:17.472 --> 00:13:19.440
  • The mother of jesus here instead of mary magdalene?
  • 00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:22.543
  • And yet he mentioned mary magdalene.
  • 00:13:22.543 --> 00:13:24.612
  • And the lord has designed it in such a way
  • 00:13:24.612 --> 00:13:26.414
  • That the first woman that saw him rise from the dead
  • 00:13:26.414 --> 00:13:28.683
  • Is not mary, his mother, but mary magdalene,
  • 00:13:28.683 --> 00:13:33.054
  • Most likely a prostitute.
  • 00:13:33.054 --> 00:13:34.389
  • The bible doesn't say that, but the bible says
  • 00:13:34.389 --> 00:13:36.057
  • Jesus cast seven devils out of her.
  • 00:13:36.057 --> 00:13:39.060
  • A great sinner was the first woman, all right,
  • 00:13:39.060 --> 00:13:43.031
  • That saw jesus rise from the dead.
  • 00:13:43.031 --> 00:13:45.500
  • Now, "mary stood outside by the tomb weeping,
  • 00:13:45.500 --> 00:13:47.936
  • And as she wept she stooped down
  • 00:13:47.936 --> 00:13:50.171
  • And looked into the tomb."
  • 00:13:50.171 --> 00:13:51.506
  • She looked into the tomb and what did she see?
  • 00:13:51.506 --> 00:13:53.408
  • "she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head
  • 00:13:53.408 --> 00:13:58.079
  • And the other at the feet, where the body of jesus
  • 00:13:58.079 --> 00:14:00.315
  • Had lain."
  • 00:14:00.315 --> 00:14:01.816
  • So it's like she saw the ark of the covenant
  • 00:14:01.816 --> 00:14:03.685
  • When she looked inside.
  • 00:14:03.685 --> 00:14:05.019
  • Remember the ark of the covenant
  • 00:14:05.019 --> 00:14:06.354
  • That i love to preach on?
  • 00:14:06.354 --> 00:14:07.689
  • There are two cherubim, one on either side, amen?
  • 00:14:07.689 --> 00:14:10.792
  • She looked down, and many of you have been there.
  • 00:14:10.792 --> 00:14:12.527
  • You look into the garden tomb and you can see
  • 00:14:12.527 --> 00:14:14.395
  • The two parts where-- in fact, we have pictures,
  • 00:14:14.395 --> 00:14:16.764
  • But we won't take time to show you
  • 00:14:16.764 --> 00:14:18.199
  • Because i don't want to preach a long message,
  • 00:14:18.199 --> 00:14:20.635
  • You know, i want to let you go early.
  • 00:14:20.635 --> 00:14:23.538
  • You're about to see a miracle happen, okay.
  • 00:14:23.538 --> 00:14:25.340
  • So you see two angels.
  • 00:14:25.340 --> 00:14:28.810
  • I heard you laugh quite loud there, shomel.
  • 00:14:28.810 --> 00:14:31.946
  • So you find jesus sitting-- or rather the angels
  • 00:14:31.946 --> 00:14:34.782
  • Sitting on either side.
  • 00:14:34.782 --> 00:14:36.517
  • And angels in the bible, usually in the old testament,
  • 00:14:36.517 --> 00:14:39.320
  • They never sit down.
  • 00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:41.089
  • "pastor prince, when the angel of the lord
  • 00:14:41.089 --> 00:14:43.424
  • Appeared to manoah, samson's father,
  • 00:14:43.424 --> 00:14:45.927
  • He was sitting down."
  • 00:14:45.927 --> 00:14:47.261
  • That's not an angel-angel.
  • 00:14:47.261 --> 00:14:49.030
  • That is the lord jesus in his appearance.
  • 00:14:49.030 --> 00:14:53.001
  • He's called the angel of the lord.
  • 00:14:53.001 --> 00:14:54.635
  • Angels are always standing. why?
  • 00:14:54.635 --> 00:14:57.572
  • Now you see them sitting. why?
  • 00:14:57.572 --> 00:14:59.073
  • The work is finished.
  • 00:14:59.073 --> 00:15:00.808
  • They are sitting on either side as if to mark the place
  • 00:15:00.808 --> 00:15:04.379
  • Where the blood of jesus was still fresh where he lay.
  • 00:15:04.379 --> 00:15:07.415
  • That means what?
  • 00:15:07.415 --> 00:15:08.750
  • Redemption has been accomplished.
  • 00:15:08.750 --> 00:15:11.819
  • Man is forgiven.
  • 00:15:11.819 --> 00:15:13.688
  • The way to god is open.
  • 00:15:13.688 --> 00:15:15.723
  • God is now reconciled and man is reconciled to god,
  • 00:15:15.723 --> 00:15:19.227
  • Hallelujah.
  • 00:15:19.227 --> 00:15:21.029
  • But look at this woman, mary magdalene.
  • 00:15:21.029 --> 00:15:22.764
  • Her heart is so full of jesus, her heart is so full
  • 00:15:22.764 --> 00:15:25.133
  • Of love for him that the bible says
  • 00:15:25.133 --> 00:15:27.602
  • She saw two angels.
  • 00:15:27.602 --> 00:15:29.570
  • "they said to her, 'woman, why are you weeping?'
  • 00:15:29.570 --> 00:15:32.240
  • She said to them, 'because they have taken away my lord,
  • 00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:35.076
  • And i do not know where they have laid him.'"
  • 00:15:35.076 --> 00:15:36.677
  • She didn't even mention his name.
  • 00:15:36.677 --> 00:15:38.212
  • You see, when your heart is full of jesus,
  • 00:15:38.212 --> 00:15:39.547
  • You expect everybody to know him.
  • 00:15:39.547 --> 00:15:42.650
  • That's the characteristic of love.
  • 00:15:42.650 --> 00:15:44.719
  • Her heart is so full of love, she expects everyone
  • 00:15:44.719 --> 00:15:46.621
  • To know who is my lord.
  • 00:15:46.621 --> 00:15:48.389
  • I love it. you know, let me tell you this.
  • 00:15:48.389 --> 00:15:52.260
  • Her faith wasn't there.
  • 00:15:52.260 --> 00:15:54.162
  • She was looking where the dead body
  • 00:15:54.162 --> 00:15:55.997
  • Of jesus was.
  • 00:15:55.997 --> 00:15:57.532
  • So she had no intelligent faith, but her heart was full of love.
  • 00:15:57.532 --> 00:16:00.768
  • You know what?
  • 00:16:00.768 --> 00:16:02.103
  • I believe god can deal with people
  • 00:16:02.103 --> 00:16:04.038
  • Whose heart is full of love for jesus
  • 00:16:04.038 --> 00:16:06.874
  • Who don't have their doctrine right.
  • 00:16:06.874 --> 00:16:11.612
  • I would rather have people whose heart
  • 00:16:11.612 --> 00:16:13.181
  • Is full of love for jesus, but their doctrine
  • 00:16:13.181 --> 00:16:16.217
  • May not be right rather than have someone
  • 00:16:16.217 --> 00:16:18.753
  • Who know the doctrines, all right, but their heart
  • 00:16:18.753 --> 00:16:22.090
  • Is lacking in love.
  • 00:16:22.090 --> 00:16:26.561
  • "preach it, pastor prince," amen?
  • 00:16:26.561 --> 00:16:29.530
  • So, why did she love him much?
  • 00:16:29.530 --> 00:16:32.600
  • Because she had been forgiven much.
  • 00:16:32.600 --> 00:16:34.836
  • Jesus cast seven devils out of her, amen.
  • 00:16:34.836 --> 00:16:37.972
  • So, look at what happened.
  • 00:16:37.972 --> 00:16:39.307
  • They asked her, "why are you weeping?"
  • 00:16:39.307 --> 00:16:40.641
  • Now, these are two angels talking to her.
  • 00:16:40.641 --> 00:16:43.878
  • You know what she did? next verse.
  • 00:16:43.878 --> 00:16:45.880
  • "now when she had said this, she turned around
  • 00:16:45.880 --> 00:16:47.849
  • And saw jesus standing there."
  • 00:16:47.849 --> 00:16:49.250
  • She turned away from angels.
  • 00:16:49.250 --> 00:16:51.686
  • I don't care they are angels.
  • 00:16:51.686 --> 00:16:53.321
  • She only has-- have eyes for the lord, amen?
  • 00:16:53.321 --> 00:16:56.591
  • "and when she turned around, she saw jesus standing there,
  • 00:16:56.591 --> 00:16:59.660
  • But she did not know it was jesus," all right?
  • 00:16:59.660 --> 00:17:02.530
  • She said to him-- "jesus said to her,
  • 00:17:02.530 --> 00:17:05.066
  • 'woman, why are you weeping?
  • 00:17:05.066 --> 00:17:08.469
  • Whom are you seeking?'"
  • 00:17:08.469 --> 00:17:11.405
  • I think it's so beautiful that the very first act
  • 00:17:11.405 --> 00:17:14.175
  • Of the risen christ was not something majestic
  • 00:17:14.175 --> 00:17:18.012
  • Like which he did later on, to go to heaven,
  • 00:17:18.012 --> 00:17:20.681
  • Sprinkle the blood.
  • 00:17:20.681 --> 00:17:23.518
  • The very first act of jesus is to dry the tears of a woman.
  • 00:17:23.518 --> 00:17:31.626
  • I think that's precious.
  • 00:17:31.626 --> 00:17:33.361
  • His very first act was to take time
  • 00:17:33.361 --> 00:17:36.764
  • To dry the tears of mary here.
  • 00:17:36.764 --> 00:17:40.535
  • "so she 'mistook' him for the gardener,
  • 00:17:40.535 --> 00:17:42.436
  • And she says," mistook in inverted commas,
  • 00:17:42.436 --> 00:17:45.973
  • "'sir, if you have carried him away,
  • 00:17:45.973 --> 00:17:47.575
  • Tell me where you have laid him, and i'll take him away.'"
  • 00:17:47.575 --> 00:17:49.977
  • She expects him to know who is the "him."
  • 00:17:49.977 --> 00:17:52.847
  • Like i told you, when your heart is full of love, right?
  • 00:17:52.847 --> 00:17:55.116
  • You don't even have to explain.
  • 00:17:55.116 --> 00:17:56.450
  • You know, she expects the whole world
  • 00:17:56.450 --> 00:17:57.785
  • To know who jesus is.
  • 00:17:57.785 --> 00:17:59.320
  • "tell me where you have laid him."
  • 00:17:59.320 --> 00:18:00.655
  • Now, does she believe in the resurrection?
  • 00:18:00.655 --> 00:18:02.290
  • No.
  • 00:18:02.290 --> 00:18:03.624
  • Is her heart full of love for him?
  • 00:18:03.624 --> 00:18:04.959
  • Yes.
  • 00:18:04.959 --> 00:18:06.294
  • All right, next verse.
  • 00:18:06.294 --> 00:18:07.828
  • "jesus said to her, 'mary!'
  • 00:18:07.828 --> 00:18:09.931
  • She turned to him."
  • 00:18:09.931 --> 00:18:11.265
  • There's a way of saying it that only the lord can say it,
  • 00:18:11.265 --> 00:18:13.501
  • "mary!"
  • 00:18:13.501 --> 00:18:14.835
  • "and she turned to him, said, 'rabboni!'
  • 00:18:14.835 --> 00:18:16.437
  • Which means my master."
  • 00:18:16.437 --> 00:18:18.072
  • Now early on, when he first saw her, he says,
  • 00:18:18.072 --> 00:18:21.442
  • "woman, why are you weeping?"
  • 00:18:21.442 --> 00:18:23.945
  • Here he calls her name, mary.
  • 00:18:23.945 --> 00:18:26.280
  • When he call her "woman," it is god addressing his creature.
  • 00:18:26.280 --> 00:18:30.618
  • When he calls her mary, it is the savior calling his sheep.
  • 00:18:30.618 --> 00:18:37.325
  • One is creation, one is redemption, amen?
  • 00:18:37.325 --> 00:18:42.129
  • "jesus said to her, 'do not cling to me,
  • 00:18:42.129 --> 00:18:43.764
  • For i have not yet ascended to my father;
  • 00:18:43.764 --> 00:18:45.900
  • But go to my brethren and say to them,
  • 00:18:45.900 --> 00:18:48.569
  • "i am ascending to my father and your father,
  • 00:18:48.569 --> 00:18:51.505
  • And to my god and your god."'"
  • 00:18:51.505 --> 00:18:53.274
  • So for the first time, he's saying--
  • 00:18:53.274 --> 00:18:56.010
  • He used to say, "my father, my father."
  • 00:18:56.010 --> 00:18:58.079
  • Now he says, "my father and your father,
  • 00:18:58.079 --> 00:19:00.481
  • My god and your god."
  • 00:19:00.481 --> 00:19:02.516
  • People, because of what jesus did
  • 00:19:02.516 --> 00:19:04.318
  • At the cross, his father is your father and my father,
  • 00:19:04.318 --> 00:19:08.222
  • His god is our god, hallelujah!
  • 00:19:08.222 --> 00:19:11.959
  • The same god of miracles, the same god of moses
  • 00:19:11.959 --> 00:19:15.763
  • That opened up the red sea, the same god of elijah
  • 00:19:15.763 --> 00:19:19.267
  • That took elijah back in a whirlwind,
  • 00:19:19.267 --> 00:19:21.469
  • The same god who is the father of our lord jesus christ,
  • 00:19:21.469 --> 00:19:24.372
  • Who anointed him with the holy spirit,
  • 00:19:24.372 --> 00:19:25.773
  • Who went about doing good, healing all
  • 00:19:25.773 --> 00:19:27.875
  • That were oppressed of the devil,
  • 00:19:27.875 --> 00:19:29.377
  • Unstopping deaf ears, opening the eyes of the blind,
  • 00:19:29.377 --> 00:19:32.780
  • Cleansing the lepers, and raising the dead,
  • 00:19:32.780 --> 00:19:35.216
  • This same god is your god, amen.
  • 00:19:35.216 --> 00:19:41.389
  • You have a title to him.
  • 00:19:41.389 --> 00:19:43.658
  • He hears your prayer.
  • 00:19:43.658 --> 00:19:44.992
  • When you pray, you don't have to pray
  • 00:19:44.992 --> 00:19:46.327
  • The way elijah prayed, don't have to pray
  • 00:19:46.327 --> 00:19:47.662
  • The way jeremiah prayed.
  • 00:19:47.662 --> 00:19:49.063
  • Jeremiah was good for his own prayer.
  • 00:19:49.063 --> 00:19:51.565
  • Elijah was good for his own prayer.
  • 00:19:51.565 --> 00:19:53.234
  • Don't pray like moses prayed.
  • 00:19:53.234 --> 00:19:54.602
  • Don't even pray like peter prayed.
  • 00:19:54.602 --> 00:19:56.170
  • Pray the way you want to pray.
  • 00:19:56.170 --> 00:19:57.805
  • Pray from your heart.
  • 00:19:57.805 --> 00:20:02.109
  • God wants to hear your voice.
  • 00:20:02.109 --> 00:20:04.545
  • He wants to hear your heart, amen?
  • 00:20:04.545 --> 00:20:08.482
  • So coming back here, okay, "mary magdalene came
  • 00:20:08.482 --> 00:20:10.785
  • And told the disciples she had seen the lord,
  • 00:20:10.785 --> 00:20:12.953
  • And that he had spoken these things to her.
  • 00:20:12.953 --> 00:20:14.689
  • Then, the same day at evening, being the first day of the week,
  • 00:20:14.689 --> 00:20:17.658
  • When the doors were shut
  • 00:20:17.658 --> 00:20:19.460
  • Where the disciples were assembled,
  • 00:20:19.460 --> 00:20:21.262
  • For fear, for fear, for fear of the jews,
  • 00:20:21.262 --> 00:20:26.000
  • Jesus came and stood in the midst."
  • 00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:28.035
  • I love that, in the midst.
  • 00:20:28.035 --> 00:20:29.370
  • "and said to them, 'peace be with you.'"
  • 00:20:29.370 --> 00:20:32.206
  • Whatever fear you may have, in this case,
  • 00:20:32.206 --> 00:20:33.974
  • The disciples were afraid of men, amen?
  • 00:20:33.974 --> 00:20:38.746
  • They were afraid of dying.
  • 00:20:38.746 --> 00:20:41.282
  • That's what i'm saying just now, that after they saw
  • 00:20:41.282 --> 00:20:43.150
  • The risen christ, they're no longer
  • 00:20:43.150 --> 00:20:44.485
  • Afraid of dying even for his name's sake.
  • 00:20:44.485 --> 00:20:47.254
  • But here their fear was-- you might have fear
  • 00:20:47.254 --> 00:20:49.156
  • About being left alone, fear of losing someone you love,
  • 00:20:49.156 --> 00:20:54.061
  • Fear of losing your money, fear of the future,
  • 00:20:54.061 --> 00:20:57.498
  • Fear of not being able to accomplish something,
  • 00:20:57.498 --> 00:21:00.134
  • Fear of losing someone's good opinion,
  • 00:21:00.134 --> 00:21:03.037
  • Fear over your health, fear over your child's health,
  • 00:21:03.037 --> 00:21:06.340
  • And notice the lord appeared
  • 00:21:06.340 --> 00:21:07.675
  • Right in the midst of their fear,
  • 00:21:07.675 --> 00:21:09.577
  • And he never even rebuked them for their fear.
  • 00:21:09.577 --> 00:21:12.646
  • And he said, "peace be unto you."
  • 00:21:12.646 --> 00:21:15.516
  • I'm telling you, the risen christ,
  • 00:21:15.516 --> 00:21:17.651
  • He's risen not to impute sin to you.
  • 00:21:17.651 --> 00:21:20.621
  • He's risen to impute righteousness to you.
  • 00:21:20.621 --> 00:21:23.624
  • Isn't it beautiful?
  • 00:21:23.624 --> 00:21:25.025
  • He says, "peace, shalom."
  • 00:21:25.025 --> 00:21:26.794
  • And it means more than just peace of mind.
  • 00:21:26.794 --> 00:21:30.431
  • Shalom means wholeness, integrated.
  • 00:21:30.431 --> 00:21:33.868
  • It means health, well-being in every dimension
  • 00:21:33.868 --> 00:21:38.105
  • Of your being: spirit, soul, and body.
  • 00:21:38.105 --> 00:21:40.574
  • Peace is not just peace of mind.
  • 00:21:40.574 --> 00:21:42.143
  • It's peace in your body. you are at ease.
  • 00:21:42.143 --> 00:21:44.745
  • Everything in your body, there's no dis-ease, disease.
  • 00:21:44.745 --> 00:21:48.949
  • It's all at ease.
  • 00:21:48.949 --> 00:21:50.284
  • Everything is integrated.
  • 00:21:50.284 --> 00:21:51.619
  • Everything is in its place.
  • 00:21:51.619 --> 00:21:52.953
  • That is shalom.
  • 00:21:52.953 --> 00:21:54.288
  • And he said to them, "peace be with you."
  • 00:21:54.288 --> 00:21:57.658
  • You know, i want to say this to you.
  • 00:21:57.658 --> 00:21:59.193
  • Jesus, when he says, "peace be unto you,"
  • 00:21:59.193 --> 00:22:01.629
  • He's saying, "health be unto you,"
  • 00:22:01.629 --> 00:22:04.165
  • "well-being be unto you and your family."
  • 00:22:04.165 --> 00:22:06.967
  • He said it in the last supper, he says,
  • 00:22:06.967 --> 00:22:09.570
  • "peace i leave with you.
  • 00:22:09.570 --> 00:22:11.138
  • My peace i give unto you.
  • 00:22:11.138 --> 00:22:12.907
  • Not as the world gives, i give unto you.
  • 00:22:12.907 --> 00:22:16.377
  • Let not your heart be troubled."
  • 00:22:16.377 --> 00:22:18.312
  • That's our part.
  • 00:22:18.312 --> 00:22:19.847
  • "neither let it be afraid," and then that health
  • 00:22:19.847 --> 00:22:24.285
  • Will reign in your body,
  • 00:22:24.285 --> 00:22:25.953
  • That health will reign in your child's body,
  • 00:22:25.953 --> 00:22:28.422
  • That peace will happen in your family.
  • 00:22:28.422 --> 00:22:31.258
  • "let not your heart be troubled."
  • 00:22:31.258 --> 00:22:33.527
  • Announcer: pastor joseph prince

  • Through a valley.
  • 00:23:22.076 --> 00:23:23.410
  • He will walk through with you to the other side.
  • 00:23:23.410 --> 00:23:27.548
  • Throughout this week, the lord make
  • 00:23:27.548 --> 00:23:30.217
  • All your crooked places straight.
  • 00:23:30.217 --> 00:23:33.354
  • But remember to give him the praise and the glory.
  • 00:23:33.354 --> 00:23:36.190
  • At the end of the week, it might seem like uneventful,
  • 00:23:36.190 --> 00:23:39.460
  • It might seem like there was no protection
  • 00:23:39.460 --> 00:23:41.495
  • Because everything was as normal,
  • 00:23:41.495 --> 00:23:43.264
  • But the lord has protected you.
  • 00:23:43.264 --> 00:23:45.266

  • 00:23:47.268 --> 00:23:51.272
  • From terror, from all the power of the evil one
  • 00:23:51.272 --> 00:23:54.308
  • Through the blood that he shed at calvary's cross.
  • 00:23:54.308 --> 00:23:57.311
  • The lord favors you and place you
  • 00:23:57.311 --> 00:23:59.513
  • At the right place at the right time.
  • 00:23:59.513 --> 00:24:01.649
  • The lord lift up his countenance on you and your children
  • 00:24:01.649 --> 00:24:05.553
  • And grant to you and yours his wonderful shalom peace,
  • 00:24:05.553 --> 00:24:12.359
  • Health, and well-being, in the name
  • 00:24:12.359 --> 00:24:15.462
  • Of the lord jesus christ,
  • 00:24:15.462 --> 00:24:17.331
  • And all the people said amen and amen.
  • 00:24:17.331 --> 00:24:20.401
  • Male announcer: we live in a world
  • 00:24:21.936 --> 00:24:23.270
  • That moves faster than ever.
  • 00:24:23.270 --> 00:24:25.139
  • Headlines change by the hour. values shift.
  • 00:24:25.139 --> 00:24:29.109
  • Truth feels negotiable.
  • 00:24:29.109 --> 00:24:31.512
  • What was certain yesterday is no longer clear today.
  • 00:24:31.512 --> 00:24:36.016
  • But through all the noise and the shaking,
  • 00:24:36.016 --> 00:24:38.886
  • There is one who is still the same.
  • 00:24:38.886 --> 00:24:42.523
  • In the chaos, he is still the calm.
  • 00:24:42.523 --> 00:24:45.859
  • In the panic, he is still the promise.
  • 00:24:45.859 --> 00:24:48.929
  • Because when all else falters, fades, and falls,
  • 00:24:48.929 --> 00:24:52.866
  • He is still jesus, above it all.
  • 00:24:52.866 --> 00:24:56.036
  • So no matter what's popular today
  • 00:24:56.036 --> 00:24:58.439
  • Or forgotten tomorrow,
  • 00:24:58.439 --> 00:25:00.174
  • This ministry will still always be
  • 00:25:00.174 --> 00:25:03.210
  • All about jesus, still the center of our call,
  • 00:25:03.210 --> 00:25:07.147
