>> joseph prince: jesus took our
00:00:12.231 --> 00:00:13.098
>> joseph prince: jesus took our place, died in our place, and
00:00:13.165 --> 00:00:15.701
>> joseph prince: jesus took our place, died in our place, and today we celebrate resurrection
00:00:15.767 --> 00:00:17.336
Place, died in our place, and today we celebrate resurrection because he rose from the dead.
00:00:17.402 --> 00:00:19.037
Today we celebrate resurrection because he rose from the dead. praise the lord, amen?
00:00:19.104 --> 00:00:21.306
Because he rose from the dead. praise the lord, amen? why was jesus delivered to
00:00:21.373 --> 00:00:22.441
Praise the lord, amen? why was jesus delivered to the cross?
00:00:22.508 --> 00:00:23.408
Why was jesus delivered to the cross? because of our offenses, our
00:00:23.475 --> 00:00:25.010
The cross? because of our offenses, our sins against god, against the
00:00:25.077 --> 00:00:27.579
Because of our offenses, our sins against god, against the holy god, amen.
00:00:27.646 --> 00:00:29.882
Sins against god, against the holy god, amen. but why was jesus raised from
00:00:29.948 --> 00:00:31.583
Holy god, amen. but why was jesus raised from the dead?
00:00:31.650 --> 00:00:32.184
But why was jesus raised from the dead? because we were
00:00:32.251 --> 00:00:33.018
The dead? because we were declared righteous.
00:00:33.085 --> 00:00:34.419
Because we were declared righteous. by whom?
00:00:34.486 --> 00:00:34.987
Declared righteous. by whom? by god.
00:00:35.053 --> 00:00:35.988
By whom? by god. in other words, jesus's
00:00:36.054 --> 00:00:37.189
By god. in other words, jesus's resurrection means you
00:00:37.256 --> 00:00:40.092
In other words, jesus's resurrection means you are acquitted.
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:41.827
Resurrection means you are acquitted. you are righteous.
00:00:41.894 --> 00:00:43.662
Are acquitted. you are righteous. how do you know a prisoner has
00:00:43.729 --> 00:00:47.466
You are righteous. how do you know a prisoner has fulfilled his obligations, all
00:00:47.533 --> 00:00:50.135
How do you know a prisoner has fulfilled his obligations, all right, to the law?
00:00:50.202 --> 00:00:52.437
Fulfilled his obligations, all right, to the law? how?
00:00:52.504 --> 00:00:54.072
Right, to the law? how? by him coming out, amen.
00:00:54.139 --> 00:00:56.108
How? by him coming out, amen. he has paid for it.
00:00:56.175 --> 00:00:57.109
By him coming out, amen. he has paid for it. so jesus came out of the grave
00:00:57.176 --> 00:00:58.777
He has paid for it. so jesus came out of the grave bodily, and god declared
00:00:58.844 --> 00:01:00.579
So jesus came out of the grave bodily, and god declared us righteous.
00:01:00.646 --> 00:01:01.513
Bodily, and god declared us righteous. that's why god raised jesus
00:01:01.580 --> 00:01:02.781
Us righteous. that's why god raised jesus from the dead.
00:01:02.848 --> 00:01:03.315
That's why god raised jesus from the dead. god didn't raise jesus
00:01:03.382 --> 00:01:04.583
From the dead. god didn't raise jesus because he is god's son.
00:01:04.650 --> 00:01:05.851
God didn't raise jesus because he is god's son. he always is that, but god
00:01:05.918 --> 00:01:08.287
Because he is god's son. he always is that, but god raised jesus because we were
00:01:08.353 --> 00:01:09.488
He always is that, but god raised jesus because we were declared righteous, because the
00:01:09.555 --> 00:01:10.622
Raised jesus because we were declared righteous, because the same body that carried your sins
00:01:10.689 --> 00:01:12.558
Declared righteous, because the same body that carried your sins and mind at the cross three days
00:01:12.624 --> 00:01:14.193
Same body that carried your sins and mind at the cross three days ago, now rose from the dead
00:01:14.259 --> 00:01:16.094
And mind at the cross three days ago, now rose from the dead without our sins.
00:01:16.161 --> 00:01:17.095
Ago, now rose from the dead without our sins. what does that mean?
00:01:17.162 --> 00:01:18.230
Without our sins. what does that mean? that means god is satisfied with
00:01:18.297 --> 00:01:19.531
What does that mean? that means god is satisfied with what he did, god accepts it, and
00:01:19.598 --> 00:01:21.733
That means god is satisfied with what he did, god accepts it, and god imputes righteousness
00:01:21.800 --> 00:01:23.101
What he did, god accepts it, and god imputes righteousness to you.
00:01:23.168 --> 00:01:23.602
God imputes righteousness to you. if you believe on him,
00:01:23.669 --> 00:01:24.970
And all the blessings
00:01:28.173 --> 00:01:28.774
And all the blessings of the righteous will come on
00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:29.575
Of the righteous will come on your head, amen?

"the law was given through moses, but grace and truth came
00:01:52.598 --> 00:01:55.133
Moses, but grace and truth came through jesus christ."
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:56.468
Through jesus christ." one of my favorite, if not my
00:01:56.535 --> 00:01:58.837
One of my favorite, if not my favorite verse because this
00:01:58.904 --> 00:02:01.473
Marks my ministry.
00:02:01.873 --> 00:02:05.077
Marks my ministry. it's a ministry of
00:02:05.143 --> 00:02:06.845
Marks my ministry. it's a ministry of differentiating for people, law
00:02:06.912 --> 00:02:08.714
It's a ministry of differentiating for people, law and grace.
00:02:08.780 --> 00:02:10.349
Differentiating for people, law and grace. even among christians, among
00:02:10.415 --> 00:02:12.117
And grace. even among christians, among believers, we still have a
00:02:12.184 --> 00:02:14.052
Even among christians, among believers, we still have a erroneous idea that god demands
00:02:14.119 --> 00:02:16.922
Believers, we still have a erroneous idea that god demands from us.
00:02:16.989 --> 00:02:17.489
Erroneous idea that god demands from us. god demands from us.
00:02:17.556 --> 00:02:18.924
From us. god demands from us. you know, when you worship god,
00:02:18.991 --> 00:02:20.325
God demands from us. you know, when you worship god, and you feel like god is stern,
00:02:20.392 --> 00:02:22.327
You know, when you worship god, and you feel like god is stern, god is angry.
00:02:22.394 --> 00:02:23.295
And you feel like god is stern, god is angry. i remember years ago, i was
00:02:23.362 --> 00:02:25.864
God is angry. i remember years ago, i was praying and i was praying, and i
00:02:25.931 --> 00:02:28.433
I remember years ago, i was praying and i was praying, and i tried to imagine, because he is
00:02:28.500 --> 00:02:29.735
Praying and i was praying, and i tried to imagine, because he is my heavenly father, right, god
00:02:29.801 --> 00:02:32.671
Tried to imagine, because he is my heavenly father, right, god is my father.
00:02:32.738 --> 00:02:34.072
My heavenly father, right, god is my father. i imagined to myself an old man
00:02:34.139 --> 00:02:36.341
Is my father. i imagined to myself an old man with white beard, white hair,
00:02:36.408 --> 00:02:38.510
I imagined to myself an old man with white beard, white hair, and then i was just praying, and
00:02:38.577 --> 00:02:40.712
With white beard, white hair, and then i was just praying, and then god stopped me and he says,
00:02:40.779 --> 00:02:43.515
And then i was just praying, and then god stopped me and he says, "why do you see me like this?"
00:02:43.582 --> 00:02:45.350
Then god stopped me and he says, "why do you see me like this?" i said, "like what?"
00:02:45.417 --> 00:02:47.286
"why do you see me like this?" i said, "like what?" "like an old man."
00:02:47.352 --> 00:02:49.187
I said, "like what?" "like an old man." i said that, "because you are
00:02:49.254 --> 00:02:51.056
"like an old man." i said that, "because you are father," and my father at that
00:02:51.123 --> 00:02:55.327
I said that, "because you are father," and my father at that time had, you know, white hair
00:02:55.394 --> 00:02:58.163
Father," and my father at that time had, you know, white hair already, and he says, "son, up
00:02:58.230 --> 00:03:01.533
Time had, you know, white hair already, and he says, "son, up here in heaven, nobody is old."
00:03:01.600 --> 00:03:05.704
Already, and he says, "son, up here in heaven, nobody is old." growing old is because of sin.
00:03:05.771 --> 00:03:08.006
Here in heaven, nobody is old." growing old is because of sin. men begin to age.
00:03:08.073 --> 00:03:12.110
Growing old is because of sin. men begin to age. his body gets weaker.
00:03:12.177 --> 00:03:14.179
Men begin to age. his body gets weaker. gray hairs come out and then
00:03:14.246 --> 00:03:16.048
His body gets weaker. gray hairs come out and then they die.
00:03:16.114 --> 00:03:17.516
Gray hairs come out and then they die. it's because of sin.
00:03:17.582 --> 00:03:18.617
They die. it's because of sin. the wages of sin is death, but
00:03:18.684 --> 00:03:20.852
It's because of sin. the wages of sin is death, but god says, "up here, we are all
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:22.587
The wages of sin is death, but god says, "up here, we are all forever young."
00:03:22.654 --> 00:03:24.489
God says, "up here, we are all forever young." i literally heard that, we
00:03:24.556 --> 00:03:26.124
Forever young." i literally heard that, we are--up here, we are forever
00:03:26.191 --> 00:03:27.693
I literally heard that, we are--up here, we are forever young, and i began to see a god
00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:29.628
Are--up here, we are forever young, and i began to see a god who is dynamic.
00:03:29.695 --> 00:03:31.363
Young, and i began to see a god who is dynamic. a god who is young.
00:03:31.430 --> 00:03:34.032
Who is dynamic. a god who is young. you know what?
00:03:34.099 --> 00:03:34.933
A god who is young. you know what? if you live in him, you'll be

You know what? if you live in him, you'll be forever young.

00:05:22.741 --> 00:05:24.176
Think for a while, amen. if your grandfather didn't exist, you wouldn't be here.
00:05:24.242 --> 00:05:26.478
If your grandfather didn't exist, you wouldn't be here. our lives are linked.
00:05:26.545 --> 00:05:27.546
Exist, you wouldn't be here. our lives are linked. so when the first man, adam and
00:05:27.612 --> 00:05:29.815
Our lives are linked. so when the first man, adam and eve, god gave them a choice.
00:05:29.881 --> 00:05:31.650
So when the first man, adam and eve, god gave them a choice. in fact, god is so generous.
00:05:31.716 --> 00:05:34.019
Eve, god gave them a choice. in fact, god is so generous. always remember, god is not
00:05:34.085 --> 00:05:35.253
In fact, god is so generous. always remember, god is not holding back on you.
00:05:35.320 --> 00:05:37.789
Always remember, god is not holding back on you. god will give you everything,
00:05:37.856 --> 00:05:39.491
Holding back on you. god will give you everything, and in fact, god always gives
00:05:39.558 --> 00:05:40.592
God will give you everything, and in fact, god always gives more than enough, and when the
00:05:40.659 --> 00:05:42.561
And in fact, god always gives more than enough, and when the first adam and eve--when god
00:05:42.627 --> 00:05:44.396
More than enough, and when the first adam and eve--when god first made the first man and
00:05:44.463 --> 00:05:45.630
First adam and eve--when god first made the first man and woman, god put them in a
00:05:45.697 --> 00:05:47.032
First made the first man and woman, god put them in a beautiful place called
00:05:47.098 --> 00:05:48.567
Woman, god put them in a beautiful place called eden, amen.
00:05:48.633 --> 00:05:50.268
Beautiful place called eden, amen. man tried to paint it and tried
00:05:50.335 --> 00:05:52.337
Eden, amen. man tried to paint it and tried to illustrate it.
00:05:52.404 --> 00:05:53.371
Man tried to paint it and tried to illustrate it. no one can picture eden.
00:05:53.438 --> 00:05:55.507
To illustrate it. no one can picture eden. it is everything that is
00:05:55.574 --> 00:05:56.708
No one can picture eden. it is everything that is beautiful to the eyes.
00:05:56.775 --> 00:05:58.777
It is everything that is beautiful to the eyes. everything that is good to
00:05:58.844 --> 00:06:00.011
Beautiful to the eyes. everything that is good to eat, amen.
00:06:00.078 --> 00:06:01.346
Everything that is good to eat, amen. and then, in the middle of the
00:06:01.413 --> 00:06:02.647
Eat, amen. and then, in the middle of the garden, god put the tree of life
00:06:02.714 --> 00:06:03.982
And then, in the middle of the garden, god put the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of
00:06:04.049 --> 00:06:05.350
Garden, god put the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil, and god told man,
00:06:05.417 --> 00:06:08.019
And the tree of knowledge of good and evil, and god told man, "do not eat from one tree."
00:06:08.086 --> 00:06:10.021
Good and evil, and god told man, "do not eat from one tree." now that means, god says,
00:06:10.088 --> 00:06:11.823
"do not eat from one tree." now that means, god says, "eat freely from every tree."
00:06:11.890 --> 00:06:13.191
Now that means, god says, "eat freely from every tree." you see the generosity of god?
00:06:13.258 --> 00:06:14.993
"eat freely from every tree." you see the generosity of god? "but don't eat from one tree.
00:06:15.060 --> 00:06:16.728
You see the generosity of god? "but don't eat from one tree. the day you eat of it, you will
00:06:16.795 --> 00:06:18.129
"but don't eat from one tree. the day you eat of it, you will surely die."
00:06:18.196 --> 00:06:19.197
The day you eat of it, you will surely die." now why did god do that, and why
00:06:19.264 --> 00:06:21.199
Surely die." now why did god do that, and why was the tree there?
00:06:21.266 --> 00:06:22.634
Now why did god do that, and why was the tree there? you might ask, well,
00:06:22.701 --> 00:06:23.201
Was the tree there? you might ask, well, "pastor prince, might as well
00:06:23.268 --> 00:06:24.402
You might ask, well, "pastor prince, might as well don't put a tree there, right?"
00:06:24.469 --> 00:06:25.704
"pastor prince, might as well don't put a tree there, right?" but you see, if god made man not
00:06:25.770 --> 00:06:28.340
Don't put a tree there, right?" but you see, if god made man not like a robot.
00:06:28.406 --> 00:06:29.841
But you see, if god made man not like a robot. god can make man like a robot.
00:06:29.908 --> 00:06:31.510
Like a robot. god can make man like a robot. worship me, obey me, and today,
00:06:31.576 --> 00:06:34.045
God can make man like a robot. worship me, obey me, and today, the world will be functioning
00:06:34.112 --> 00:06:36.848
Worship me, obey me, and today, the world will be functioning perfectly, but then is that what
00:06:36.915 --> 00:06:39.451
The world will be functioning perfectly, but then is that what god wants?
00:06:39.518 --> 00:06:39.985
Perfectly, but then is that what god wants? a robot to love him?
00:06:40.051 --> 00:06:40.919
God wants? a robot to love him? no, god made man.
00:06:40.986 --> 00:06:42.387
A robot to love him? no, god made man. the bible says, "let us make man
00:06:42.454 --> 00:06:44.322
No, god made man. the bible says, "let us make man in our image."
00:06:44.389 --> 00:06:45.790
The bible says, "let us make man in our image." man is made in god's image, and
00:06:45.857 --> 00:06:47.792
In our image." man is made in god's image, and god gave man something called
00:06:47.859 --> 00:06:49.327
Man is made in god's image, and god gave man something called free choice.
00:06:49.394 --> 00:06:50.929
God gave man something called free choice. so to exercise that free choice,
00:06:50.996 --> 00:06:54.165
Free choice. so to exercise that free choice, you cannot just give someone
00:06:54.232 --> 00:06:55.767
So to exercise that free choice, you cannot just give someone with free choice everything
00:06:55.834 --> 00:06:57.135
You cannot just give someone with free choice everything good, and then you say,
00:06:57.202 --> 00:06:58.370
With free choice everything good, and then you say, "you know something else?
00:06:58.436 --> 00:06:59.004
Good, and then you say, "you know something else? i give you free choice,"
00:06:59.070 --> 00:07:00.539
"you know something else? i give you free choice," and--but everything that he
00:07:00.605 --> 00:07:02.107
I give you free choice," and--but everything that he chooses is good.
00:07:02.173 --> 00:07:04.409
And--but everything that he chooses is good. there is no demonstration or
00:07:04.476 --> 00:07:06.244
Chooses is good. there is no demonstration or exercise of that free choice.
00:07:06.311 --> 00:07:08.580
There is no demonstration or exercise of that free choice. so god put one tree down there,
00:07:08.647 --> 00:07:09.781
Exercise of that free choice. so god put one tree down there, and god says,
00:07:09.848 --> 00:07:10.282
So god put one tree down there, and god says, "don't eat from that tree.
00:07:10.348 --> 00:07:11.349
And god says, "don't eat from that tree. the day you eat of it, you will
00:07:11.416 --> 00:07:12.584
"don't eat from that tree. the day you eat of it, you will surely die."
00:07:12.651 --> 00:07:13.885
The day you eat of it, you will surely die." and you know what happened?
00:07:13.952 --> 00:07:15.453
Surely die." and you know what happened? man chose that tree.
00:07:15.520 --> 00:07:17.155
And you know what happened? man chose that tree. now, when you choose the tree,
00:07:17.222 --> 00:07:18.557
Man chose that tree. now, when you choose the tree, when you choose sin, you choose
00:07:18.623 --> 00:07:20.592
Now, when you choose the tree, when you choose sin, you choose to disobey god, you cannot have
00:07:20.659 --> 00:07:23.562
When you choose sin, you choose to disobey god, you cannot have your cake and eat it.
00:07:23.628 --> 00:07:25.564
To disobey god, you cannot have your cake and eat it. the wages, we call wages
00:07:25.630 --> 00:07:27.766
Your cake and eat it. the wages, we call wages salary, right?
00:07:27.832 --> 00:07:28.667
The wages, we call wages salary, right? penalty of sin is death, and not
00:07:28.733 --> 00:07:31.870
Salary, right? penalty of sin is death, and not just death physically, but
00:07:31.937 --> 00:07:33.004
Penalty of sin is death, and not just death physically, but death eternally.
00:07:33.071 --> 00:07:36.541
Just death physically, but death eternally. but when man took from the tree,
00:07:36.608 --> 00:07:38.710
Death eternally. but when man took from the tree, god knew that man is cut off
00:07:38.777 --> 00:07:41.513
But when man took from the tree, god knew that man is cut off from him.
00:07:41.580 --> 00:07:43.615
God knew that man is cut off from him. you cannot just say,
00:07:43.682 --> 00:07:44.182
From him. you cannot just say, "well, pastor prince, you know,
00:07:44.249 --> 00:07:45.850
You cannot just say, "well, pastor prince, you know, if men took from the tree, and,
00:07:45.917 --> 00:07:47.485
"well, pastor prince, you know, if men took from the tree, and, you know, boys will be boys,
00:07:47.552 --> 00:07:48.853
If men took from the tree, and, you know, boys will be boys, why not god just sweep
00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:49.854
You know, boys will be boys, why not god just sweep everything under the carpet?"
00:07:49.921 --> 00:07:50.722
Why not god just sweep everything under the carpet?" if god did that, yeah, he's a
00:07:50.789 --> 00:07:52.891
Everything under the carpet?" if god did that, yeah, he's a god of love, but he's not a
00:07:52.958 --> 00:07:54.893
If god did that, yeah, he's a god of love, but he's not a righteous god.
00:07:54.960 --> 00:07:56.995
God of love, but he's not a righteous god. if there are no laws and orders
00:07:57.062 --> 00:07:58.630
Righteous god. if there are no laws and orders in this universe, this universe
00:07:58.697 --> 00:08:00.231
If there are no laws and orders in this universe, this universe will collapse.
00:08:00.298 --> 00:08:02.200
In this universe, this universe will collapse. if the judge says,
00:08:02.267 --> 00:08:03.134
Will collapse. if the judge says, "you know what?
00:08:03.201 --> 00:08:03.835
If the judge says, "you know what? i know you've murdered three
00:08:03.902 --> 00:08:04.769
"you know what? i know you've murdered three ladies and all that, no problem.
00:08:04.836 --> 00:08:07.238
I know you've murdered three ladies and all that, no problem. you know what?
00:08:07.305 --> 00:08:08.173
Ladies and all that, no problem. you know what? you had a bad childhood.
00:08:08.239 --> 00:08:09.307
You know what? you had a bad childhood. boys will be boys.
00:08:09.374 --> 00:08:10.241
You had a bad childhood. boys will be boys. never mind, acquitted."
00:08:10.308 --> 00:08:11.376
Boys will be boys. never mind, acquitted." then, you know what?
00:08:11.443 --> 00:08:12.944
Never mind, acquitted." then, you know what? he's not a righteous judge.
00:08:13.011 --> 00:08:15.981
Then, you know what? he's not a righteous judge. we cannot respect a judge
00:08:16.047 --> 00:08:16.848
He's not a righteous judge. we cannot respect a judge like that.
00:08:16.915 --> 00:08:18.350
We cannot respect a judge like that. so god is holy, righteous, but
00:08:18.416 --> 00:08:20.885
Like that. so god is holy, righteous, but god is love.
00:08:20.952 --> 00:08:22.988
So god is holy, righteous, but god is love. god loves you.
00:08:23.054 --> 00:08:24.155
God is love. god loves you. do you know something?
00:08:24.222 --> 00:08:25.023
God loves you. do you know something? today, we celebrate
00:08:25.090 --> 00:08:25.991
Do you know something? today, we celebrate resurrection day.
00:08:26.057 --> 00:08:27.626
Today, we celebrate resurrection day. jesus rose from the dead.
00:08:27.692 --> 00:08:29.661
Resurrection day. jesus rose from the dead. he conquered death for you and
00:08:29.728 --> 00:08:31.062
Jesus rose from the dead. he conquered death for you and i, but do you know that god
00:08:31.129 --> 00:08:33.598
He conquered death for you and i, but do you know that god never meant for man to die?
00:08:33.665 --> 00:08:35.600
I, but do you know that god never meant for man to die? it is not in god's heart.
00:08:35.667 --> 00:08:36.868
Never meant for man to die? it is not in god's heart. in fact, god counts death as
00:08:36.935 --> 00:08:39.604
It is not in god's heart. in fact, god counts death as an enemy.
00:08:39.671 --> 00:08:41.606
In fact, god counts death as an enemy. that's why people cry
00:08:41.673 --> 00:08:42.974
An enemy. that's why people cry at funerals.
00:08:43.041 --> 00:08:43.842
That's why people cry at funerals. deep down in our hearts,
00:08:43.908 --> 00:08:44.776
At funerals. deep down in our hearts, we know.
00:08:44.843 --> 00:08:45.276
Deep down in our hearts, we know. even jesus wept at lazarus's
00:08:45.343 --> 00:08:48.213
We know. even jesus wept at lazarus's funeral, right?
00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:51.116
Even jesus wept at lazarus's funeral, right? jesus wept because he knew that
00:08:51.182 --> 00:08:52.517
Funeral, right? jesus wept because he knew that this is not his father's plan
00:08:52.584 --> 00:08:54.753
Jesus wept because he knew that this is not his father's plan for men in the very beginning.
00:08:54.819 --> 00:08:59.991
This is not his father's plan for men in the very beginning. death is foreign to us.
00:09:00.058 --> 00:09:02.460
For men in the very beginning. death is foreign to us. we don't want to grow old.
00:09:02.527 --> 00:09:03.762
Death is foreign to us. we don't want to grow old. we don't want to have sickness.
00:09:03.828 --> 00:09:05.497
We don't want to grow old. we don't want to have sickness. that's why we go to the doctor.
00:09:05.563 --> 00:09:08.099
We don't want to have sickness. that's why we go to the doctor. and we don't want to die.
00:09:08.166 --> 00:09:09.701
That's why we go to the doctor. and we don't want to die. it is inherent in every man, but
00:09:09.768 --> 00:09:12.003
And we don't want to die. it is inherent in every man, but every time you pass by a
00:09:12.070 --> 00:09:13.104
It is inherent in every man, but every time you pass by a funeral, you know, a service
00:09:13.171 --> 00:09:15.173
Every time you pass by a funeral, you know, a service that's going on somewhere, under
00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:17.375
Funeral, you know, a service that's going on somewhere, under the void deck here in singapore,
00:09:17.442 --> 00:09:19.911
That's going on somewhere, under the void deck here in singapore, all right?
00:09:19.978 --> 00:09:21.446
The void deck here in singapore, all right? it reminds you again, people
00:09:21.513 --> 00:09:22.714
All right? it reminds you again, people don't like to talk about death.
00:09:22.781 --> 00:09:24.549
It reminds you again, people don't like to talk about death. they don't like to talk about
00:09:24.616 --> 00:09:25.784
Don't like to talk about death. they don't like to talk about funerals and all that, but i
00:09:25.850 --> 00:09:27.218
They don't like to talk about funerals and all that, but i want you to know something.
00:09:27.285 --> 00:09:29.387
Funerals and all that, but i want you to know something. death has been conquered by
00:09:29.454 --> 00:09:30.555
Want you to know something. death has been conquered by jesus christ.
00:09:30.622 --> 00:09:32.123
Death has been conquered by jesus christ. today, we
00:09:32.190 --> 00:09:32.724
Jesus christ. today, we celebrate resurrection.
00:09:32.791 --> 00:09:33.825
Today, we celebrate resurrection. he didn't rise up spiritually.
00:09:33.892 --> 00:09:35.694
Celebrate resurrection. he didn't rise up spiritually. he rose up bodily, and do you
00:09:35.760 --> 00:09:38.496
He didn't rise up spiritually. he rose up bodily, and do you know why he rose up bodily?
00:09:38.563 --> 00:09:40.331
He rose up bodily, and do you know why he rose up bodily? because our sins have been
00:09:40.398 --> 00:09:41.366
Know why he rose up bodily? because our sins have been put away.
00:09:41.433 --> 00:09:42.867
Because our sins have been put away. sin is the problem that
00:09:42.934 --> 00:09:43.835
Put away. sin is the problem that separates man from god.
00:09:43.902 --> 00:09:45.737
Sin is the problem that separates man from god. just like if you love someone
00:09:45.804 --> 00:09:47.072
Separates man from god. just like if you love someone that you love very much, your
00:09:47.138 --> 00:09:48.473
Just like if you love someone that you love very much, your child or whatever, and the child
00:09:48.540 --> 00:09:50.008
That you love very much, your child or whatever, and the child has cancer, and the cancer is in
00:09:50.075 --> 00:09:52.944
Child or whatever, and the child has cancer, and the cancer is in the child, you don't love the
00:09:53.011 --> 00:09:55.113
Has cancer, and the cancer is in the child, you don't love the cancer, but the cancer is in the
00:09:55.180 --> 00:09:57.282
The child, you don't love the cancer, but the cancer is in the child, but you hate the cancer.
00:09:57.348 --> 00:10:00.552
Cancer, but the cancer is in the child, but you hate the cancer. you love your child.
00:10:00.618 --> 00:10:02.487
Child, but you hate the cancer. you love your child. god hates sin, but god loves
00:10:02.554 --> 00:10:04.255
You love your child. god hates sin, but god loves you, amen.
00:10:04.322 --> 00:10:06.791
God hates sin, but god loves you, amen. sin is destroying everything
00:10:06.858 --> 00:10:08.193
You, amen. sin is destroying everything beautiful that god has for
00:10:08.259 --> 00:10:09.728
Sin is destroying everything beautiful that god has for you, amen.
00:10:09.794 --> 00:10:10.929
Beautiful that god has for you, amen. the good life.
00:10:10.995 --> 00:10:12.864
You, amen. the good life. jesus himself says,
00:10:12.931 --> 00:10:13.898
The good life. jesus himself says, "what shall it profit a man,
00:10:13.965 --> 00:10:15.066
Jesus himself says, "what shall it profit a man, he gains the whole world,
00:10:15.133 --> 00:10:16.634
"what shall it profit a man, he gains the whole world, but he lose his own soul," amen.
00:10:16.701 --> 00:10:20.371
He gains the whole world, but he lose his own soul," amen. so, you--how much do you hate
00:10:20.438 --> 00:10:23.675
But he lose his own soul," amen. so, you--how much do you hate the cancer in your child?
00:10:23.742 --> 00:10:28.046
So, you--how much do you hate the cancer in your child? the same amount that you love
00:10:28.113 --> 00:10:29.647
The cancer in your child? the same amount that you love your child.
00:10:29.714 --> 00:10:31.416
The same amount that you love your child. if you love your child a lot,
00:10:31.483 --> 00:10:33.118
Your child. if you love your child a lot, you will hate that disease
00:10:33.184 --> 00:10:34.385
If you love your child a lot, you will hate that disease a lot.
00:10:34.452 --> 00:10:35.587
You will hate that disease a lot. you say, "why does god hate sin
00:10:35.653 --> 00:10:37.388
A lot. you say, "why does god hate sin so much?"
00:10:37.455 --> 00:10:37.889
You say, "why does god hate sin so much?" because god loves you very much.
00:10:37.956 --> 00:10:40.325
So much?" because god loves you very much. can i have a good amen?
00:10:40.391 --> 00:10:41.726
Because god loves you very much. can i have a good amen? so god ordained a system.
00:10:41.793 --> 00:10:43.228
Can i have a good amen? so god ordained a system. god could have wiped out man,
00:10:43.294 --> 00:10:44.496
So god ordained a system. god could have wiped out man, but god ordained a system by
00:10:44.562 --> 00:10:46.531
God could have wiped out man, but god ordained a system by which there coul--god can be
00:10:46.598 --> 00:10:48.933
But god ordained a system by which there coul--god can be righteous in forgiving man of
00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:50.702
Which there coul--god can be righteous in forgiving man of his sin and treat man
00:10:50.769 --> 00:10:52.270
Righteous in forgiving man of his sin and treat man like righteous.
00:10:52.337 --> 00:10:54.239
All right, the system is
00:10:54.405 --> 00:10:55.173
All right, the system is called--even though we say the
00:10:55.240 --> 00:10:56.207
Called--even though we say the law was given by moses.
00:10:56.274 --> 00:10:59.110
Law was given by moses. moses is a servant,
00:10:59.177 --> 00:11:00.612
Moses is a servant, not the son of god.
00:11:00.678 --> 00:11:02.247
Not the son of god. in a house, a servant don't have
00:11:02.313 --> 00:11:04.649
In a house, a servant don't have the standing with a father that
00:11:04.716 --> 00:11:07.986
The standing with a father that a son does.
00:11:08.052 --> 00:11:09.554
A son does. jesus is the son.
00:11:09.621 --> 00:11:11.156
Jesus is the son. the law, the ten commandments,
00:11:11.222 --> 00:11:13.358
The law, the ten commandments, was given through a servant, but
00:11:13.424 --> 00:11:15.593
Was given through a servant, but grace and truth came through the
00:11:15.660 --> 00:11:18.296
The law was given.
00:11:20.398 --> 00:11:21.232
The law was given. i can give something from a
00:11:21.299 --> 00:11:22.634
The law was given. i can give something from a distance, and we can give from a
00:11:22.700 --> 00:11:24.502
I can give something from a distance, and we can give from a distance, but if i come to your
00:11:24.569 --> 00:11:26.337
Distance, and we can give from a distance, but if i come to your place personally, if i come,
00:11:26.404 --> 00:11:29.407
Distance, but if i come to your place personally, if i come, that's personal.
00:11:29.474 --> 00:11:31.543
Place personally, if i come, that's personal. that's getting real close.
00:11:31.609 --> 00:11:33.611
That's personal. that's getting real close. well, the law was given.
00:11:33.678 --> 00:11:34.913
That's getting real close. well, the law was given. when god gave the law, god says,
00:11:34.979 --> 00:11:36.347
Well, the law was given. when god gave the law, god says, "thou shalt not kill.
00:11:36.414 --> 00:11:37.649
When god gave the law, god says, "thou shalt not kill. thou shalt not commit adultery.
00:11:37.715 --> 00:11:39.717
"thou shalt not kill. thou shalt not commit adultery. thou shalt not murder."
00:11:39.784 --> 00:11:41.286
Thou shalt not commit adultery. thou shalt not murder." all that, right?
00:11:41.352 --> 00:11:42.053
Thou shalt not murder." all that, right? god spoke from a mountain and
00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:44.189
All that, right? god spoke from a mountain and through an intermediary, the
00:11:44.255 --> 00:11:45.557
God spoke from a mountain and through an intermediary, the bible says through angels, and
00:11:45.623 --> 00:11:47.792
Through an intermediary, the bible says through angels, and the mountain was veiled in dark
00:11:47.859 --> 00:11:50.228
Bible says through angels, and the mountain was veiled in dark clouds, and it was--there was an
00:11:50.295 --> 00:11:52.864
The mountain was veiled in dark clouds, and it was--there was an earthquake, and there was
00:11:52.931 --> 00:11:54.432
Clouds, and it was--there was an earthquake, and there was lightnings, and the sound of
00:11:54.499 --> 00:11:55.967
Earthquake, and there was lightnings, and the sound of voices, and even the bible says,
00:11:56.034 --> 00:11:58.269
Lightnings, and the sound of voices, and even the bible says, the best of them, of all israel,
00:11:58.336 --> 00:12:00.171
Voices, and even the bible says, the best of them, of all israel, moses says, "i exceedingly fear
00:12:00.238 --> 00:12:02.907
The best of them, of all israel, moses says, "i exceedingly fear and i was trembling."
00:12:02.974 --> 00:12:04.375
Moses says, "i exceedingly fear and i was trembling." not just fearing and trembling,
00:12:04.442 --> 00:12:05.710
And i was trembling." not just fearing and trembling, but exceedingly, he said.
00:12:05.777 --> 00:12:07.512
Not just fearing and trembling, but exceedingly, he said. he was trembling, and the bible
00:12:07.579 --> 00:12:09.147
But exceedingly, he said. he was trembling, and the bible says from in that kind of
00:12:09.214 --> 00:12:10.415
He was trembling, and the bible says from in that kind of atmosphere, god gave the
00:12:10.481 --> 00:12:11.449
Says from in that kind of atmosphere, god gave the ten commandments.
00:12:11.516 --> 00:12:13.051
Atmosphere, god gave the ten commandments. so that's the law, but we are
00:12:13.117 --> 00:12:15.053
Ten commandments. so that's the law, but we are not under the law now.
00:12:15.119 --> 00:12:17.522
So that's the law, but we are not under the law now. we are under grace.
00:12:17.589 --> 00:12:19.858
Not under the law now. we are under grace. the law demands.
00:12:19.924 --> 00:12:22.293
We are under grace. the law demands. grace that came through
00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:23.862
The law demands. grace that came through jesus christ, true grace,
00:12:23.928 --> 00:12:25.196
Grace that came through jesus christ, true grace, this grace and truth is true
00:12:25.263 --> 00:12:26.130
Jesus christ, true grace, this grace and truth is true grace, supplies.

The law demands. thou shalt not, thou shalt not, thou shalt not.

Thou shalt not, thou shalt not, thou shalt not. grace says, "here, receive
00:12:31.903 --> 00:12:33.304
Thou shalt not. grace says, "here, receive the supply."
00:12:33.371 --> 00:12:35.073
Grace says, "here, receive the supply." under law, god demands
00:12:35.139 --> 00:12:36.341
The supply." under law, god demands righteousness from sinful men.
00:12:36.407 --> 00:12:38.877
Under law, god demands righteousness from sinful men. the man says, "'i can't.
00:12:38.943 --> 00:12:40.178
Righteousness from sinful men. the man says, "'i can't. i try to be righteous,
00:12:40.245 --> 00:12:41.145
The man says, "'i can't. i try to be righteous, i cannot," amen.
00:12:41.212 --> 00:12:43.147
I try to be righteous, i cannot," amen. but under grace, god says, "take
00:12:43.214 --> 00:12:46.918
I cannot," amen. but under grace, god says, "take the gift of righteousness."
00:12:46.985 --> 00:12:48.720
But under grace, god says, "take the gift of righteousness." it's only to be received.
00:12:48.786 --> 00:12:50.388
The gift of righteousness." it's only to be received. the gift of god is eternal life
00:12:50.455 --> 00:12:51.856
It's only to be received. the gift of god is eternal life through jesus christ our lord.
00:12:51.923 --> 00:12:54.492
The gift of god is eternal life through jesus christ our lord. that's why the first miracle,
00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:55.994
Through jesus christ our lord. that's why the first miracle, public miracle of moses, was to
00:12:56.060 --> 00:12:58.196
That's why the first miracle, public miracle of moses, was to turn water into blood resulting

Intoxicating wine, amen. praise god. the law says, "do, do, do."

Praise god. the law says, "do, do, do." grace says, "done."
00:13:35.566 --> 00:13:38.036
The law says, "do, do, do." grace says, "done." at the cross, are the last words
00:13:38.102 --> 00:13:39.837
Grace says, "done." at the cross, are the last words of jesus is, "finished."

The law, magnified and fulfilled, amen. the law was given to moses, but
00:14:00.458 --> 00:14:01.826
Fulfilled, amen. the law was given to moses, but grace and truth came to
00:14:01.893 --> 00:14:02.727
The law was given to moses, but grace and truth came to jesus christ.
00:14:02.794 --> 00:14:03.394
Grace and truth came to jesus christ. when god gave
00:14:03.461 --> 00:14:03.895
Jesus christ. when god gave the ten commandments, god knew
00:14:03.962 --> 00:14:04.963
When god gave the ten commandments, god knew man would sin, and man says,
00:14:05.029 --> 00:14:07.031
The ten commandments, god knew man would sin, and man says, "all that god says
00:14:07.098 --> 00:14:08.032
Man would sin, and man says, "all that god says we can keep."
00:14:08.099 --> 00:14:09.033
"all that god says we can keep." wow, sounds very noble.
00:14:09.100 --> 00:14:12.403
We can keep." wow, sounds very noble. sounds very solid, but do you
00:14:12.470 --> 00:14:13.705
Wow, sounds very noble. sounds very solid, but do you know something?
00:14:13.771 --> 00:14:14.405
Sounds very solid, but do you know something? that is confidence in your
00:14:14.472 --> 00:14:16.274
Know something? that is confidence in your flesh, and god knew.
00:14:16.341 --> 00:14:17.508
That is confidence in your flesh, and god knew. that's the reason why god gave
00:14:17.575 --> 00:14:18.576
Flesh, and god knew. that's the reason why god gave man the ten commandments.
00:14:18.643 --> 00:14:19.944
That's the reason why god gave man the ten commandments. god knew if there's
00:14:20.011 --> 00:14:21.112
Man the ten commandments. god knew if there's no ten commandments,
00:14:21.179 --> 00:14:22.580
God knew if there's no ten commandments, if i say, "you're a sinner,"
00:14:22.647 --> 00:14:23.548
No ten commandments, if i say, "you're a sinner," you say, "what's a sinner?"
00:14:23.614 --> 00:14:26.284
If i say, "you're a sinner," you say, "what's a sinner?" but if god gave the
00:14:26.351 --> 00:14:27.185
You say, "what's a sinner?" but if god gave the ten commandments, even the best
00:14:27.251 --> 00:14:28.586
But if god gave the ten commandments, even the best of us will fail, and jesus came
00:14:28.653 --> 00:14:31.055
Ten commandments, even the best of us will fail, and jesus came and jesus showed man.
00:14:31.122 --> 00:14:32.590
Of us will fail, and jesus came and jesus showed man. that's what moses meant when he
00:14:32.657 --> 00:14:34.025
And jesus showed man. that's what moses meant when he says, "it's not just
00:14:34.092 --> 00:14:34.926
That's what moses meant when he says, "it's not just committing adultery."
00:14:34.993 --> 00:14:35.827
Says, "it's not just committing adultery." thou shall not commit adultery.
00:14:35.893 --> 00:14:36.928
Committing adultery." thou shall not commit adultery. it's not just committing
00:14:36.995 --> 00:14:37.729
Thou shall not commit adultery. it's not just committing adultery, like going bodily with
00:14:37.795 --> 00:14:39.497
It's not just committing adultery, like going bodily with your--a person who's not your
00:14:39.564 --> 00:14:41.866
Adultery, like going bodily with your--a person who's not your partner, who's not your life
00:14:41.933 --> 00:14:43.468
Your--a person who's not your partner, who's not your life partner, is not your wife, not
00:14:43.534 --> 00:14:44.736
Partner, who's not your life partner, is not your wife, not your husband, bodily.
00:14:44.802 --> 00:14:46.270
Partner, is not your wife, not your husband, bodily. it's not just bodily doing it.
00:14:46.337 --> 00:14:48.072
Your husband, bodily. it's not just bodily doing it. it is even when you lust for
00:14:48.139 --> 00:14:49.907
It's not just bodily doing it. it is even when you lust for someone in your heart.
00:14:49.974 --> 00:14:51.776
It is even when you lust for someone in your heart. that's adultery, jesus said.
00:14:51.843 --> 00:14:55.313
Someone in your heart. that's adultery, jesus said. murder is not just taking a
00:14:55.380 --> 00:14:56.581
That's adultery, jesus said. murder is not just taking a knife and plunging into
00:14:56.647 --> 00:14:57.648
Murder is not just taking a knife and plunging into someone's heart physically.
00:14:57.715 --> 00:15:00.885
Knife and plunging into someone's heart physically. murder is hating someone in your
00:15:00.952 --> 00:15:03.221
Someone's heart physically. murder is hating someone in your heart, even though the person is
00:15:03.287 --> 00:15:05.189
Murder is hating someone in your heart, even though the person is still alive.
00:15:05.256 --> 00:15:07.392
Heart, even though the person is still alive. why did jesus say all that?
00:15:07.458 --> 00:15:08.559

00:16:55.399 --> 00:16:57.435
Way because it's too far back. but one of them stood up. some guy with some experience,
00:16:57.502 --> 00:16:59.670

00:17:10.815 --> 00:17:11.716
So behind them, they were all in this straight line and the fire was coming this way.
00:17:11.782 --> 00:17:12.917
This straight line and the fire was coming this way. it's obvious the wind was

Was coming this way. it's obvious the wind was blowing really strong this way.
00:17:14.285 --> 00:17:15.920
It's obvious the wind was blowing really strong this way. so he says, "build a fire at the

00:19:51.642 --> 00:19:52.510
The sermon on the mount, that very area. right now, there's a banana
00:19:52.576 --> 00:19:53.711
Very area. right now, there's a banana plantation down there.
00:19:53.778 --> 00:19:54.545
Right now, there's a banana plantation down there. the mountain is still there, and
00:19:54.612 --> 00:19:55.613
Plantation down there. the mountain is still there, and one of those huge rocks is where
00:19:55.680 --> 00:19:57.114
The mountain is still there, and one of those huge rocks is where i believe jesus sat on, and
00:19:57.181 --> 00:19:58.816
One of those huge rocks is where i believe jesus sat on, and after he preached
00:19:58.883 --> 00:19:59.450
I believe jesus sat on, and after he preached the sermon on the mount,
00:19:59.517 --> 00:20:00.551
After he preached the sermon on the mount, the bible says he
00:20:00.618 --> 00:20:01.118
The sermon on the mount, the bible says he went the other way and the
00:20:01.185 --> 00:20:02.219
The bible says he went the other way and the crowds followed him.
00:20:02.286 --> 00:20:04.188
Went the other way and the crowds followed him. so i was going the other way.
00:20:04.255 --> 00:20:05.956
Crowds followed him. so i was going the other way. i left my pastors there for a
00:20:06.023 --> 00:20:07.091
So i was going the other way. i left my pastors there for a while, went the other way, and
00:20:07.158 --> 00:20:08.225
I left my pastors there for a while, went the other way, and then i saw there were some huge
00:20:08.292 --> 00:20:09.927
While, went the other way, and then i saw there were some huge rocks here and there.
00:20:09.994 --> 00:20:11.028
Then i saw there were some huge rocks here and there. then i thought to myself, the
00:20:11.095 --> 00:20:12.396
Rocks here and there. then i thought to myself, the bible says right after this
00:20:12.463 --> 00:20:13.531
Then i thought to myself, the bible says right after this instance of preaching to the
00:20:13.597 --> 00:20:15.166
Bible says right after this instance of preaching to the crowd, a leper, who was probably
00:20:15.232 --> 00:20:17.368
Instance of preaching to the crowd, a leper, who was probably hiding, came out from hiding and
00:20:17.435 --> 00:20:20.371
Crowd, a leper, who was probably hiding, came out from hiding and met jesus, and says,
00:20:20.438 --> 00:20:20.905
Hiding, came out from hiding and met jesus, and says, "lord, if you are willing,
00:20:20.971 --> 00:20:22.740
Met jesus, and says, "lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean."
00:20:22.807 --> 00:20:24.375
"lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean." the bible says, jesus says,
00:20:24.442 --> 00:20:26.077
You can make me clean." the bible says, jesus says, "i am willing."
00:20:26.143 --> 00:20:27.311
The bible says, jesus says, "i am willing." every one of you listen.
00:20:27.378 --> 00:20:28.846
"i am willing." every one of you listen. you come to jesus and you say,
00:20:28.913 --> 00:20:30.181
Every one of you listen. you come to jesus and you say, "lord, i am unclean, but you can
00:20:30.247 --> 00:20:34.185
You come to jesus and you say, "lord, i am unclean, but you can make me clean.
00:20:34.251 --> 00:20:35.519
"lord, i am unclean, but you can make me clean. i am diseased.
00:20:35.586 --> 00:20:37.088
Make me clean. i am diseased. you can set me free.
00:20:37.154 --> 00:20:39.357
I am diseased. you can set me free. lord, i am depressed, but you
00:20:39.423 --> 00:20:42.193
You can set me free. lord, i am depressed, but you can give me your peace."
00:20:42.259 --> 00:20:43.994
Lord, i am depressed, but you can give me your peace." whatever it is, he will never
00:20:44.061 --> 00:20:45.296
Can give me your peace." whatever it is, he will never let you go off saying,
00:20:45.363 --> 00:20:46.464
Whatever it is, he will never let you go off saying, "today i'm not in a good mood."
00:20:46.530 --> 00:20:48.399
Let you go off saying, "today i'm not in a good mood." it is always, "i am willing."
00:20:48.466 --> 00:20:50.601
"today i'm not in a good mood." it is always, "i am willing." people always wonder, they know
00:20:50.668 --> 00:20:51.669
It is always, "i am willing." people always wonder, they know god has the power.
00:20:51.736 --> 00:20:53.337
People always wonder, they know god has the power. so the leper didn't ask,
00:20:53.404 --> 00:20:54.572
God has the power. so the leper didn't ask, "if you have the power."
00:20:54.638 --> 00:20:55.306
So the leper didn't ask, "if you have the power." he says, "if you are willing,
00:20:55.373 --> 00:20:56.474
"if you have the power." he says, "if you are willing, you can make me clean."
00:20:56.540 --> 00:20:57.875
He says, "if you are willing, you can make me clean." jesus says, listen to these
00:20:57.942 --> 00:20:58.843
You can make me clean." jesus says, listen to these words, "i am willing."
00:20:58.909 --> 00:21:00.878
Jesus says, listen to these words, "i am willing." jesus christ, the same
00:21:00.945 --> 00:21:01.846
Words, "i am willing." jesus christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever.
00:21:01.912 --> 00:21:03.647
Jesus christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever. and jesus touched the leper.
00:21:03.714 --> 00:21:04.915
Yesterday, today, and forever. and jesus touched the leper. now watch this.
00:21:04.982 --> 00:21:05.716
And jesus touched the leper. now watch this. under the law, you touch the
00:21:05.783 --> 00:21:06.984
Now watch this. under the law, you touch the leper, you become unclean, but
00:21:07.051 --> 00:21:09.153
Under the law, you touch the leper, you become unclean, but here, the unclean became clean.
00:21:09.220 --> 00:21:12.456
Leper, you become unclean, but here, the unclean became clean. it's reversed, amen.
00:21:12.523 --> 00:21:14.425
Here, the unclean became clean. it's reversed, amen. which means jesus's grace is
00:21:14.492 --> 00:21:15.926
It's reversed, amen. which means jesus's grace is greater than all our sins, amen.
00:21:15.993 --> 00:21:18.896

Greater than all our sins, amen. are you listening, lah? don't be so shocked
00:21:20.297 --> 00:21:21.031
Are you listening, lah? don't be so shocked with your sin.

Don't be so shocked with your sin. don't be so shocked with your

With your sin. don't be so shocked with your whatever you see in yourself.

Don't be so shocked with your whatever you see in yourself. jesus's grace is greater.
00:21:24.001 --> 00:21:26.537
Whatever you see in yourself. jesus's grace is greater. it will overwhelm it, amen.
00:21:26.604 --> 00:21:29.006
Jesus's grace is greater. it will overwhelm it, amen. this is god reaching out to you.
00:21:29.073 --> 00:21:30.541
It will overwhelm it, amen. this is god reaching out to you. not man trying to keep
00:21:30.608 --> 00:21:31.442
This is god reaching out to you. not man trying to keep the ten commandments,
00:21:31.509 --> 00:21:32.443
Not man trying to keep the ten commandments, man trying his best,
00:21:32.510 --> 00:21:33.911
The ten commandments, man trying his best, man doing this, man doing that.
00:21:33.978 --> 00:21:35.579
Man trying his best, man doing this, man doing that. no, no, it's god coming down
00:21:35.646 --> 00:21:38.282
Man doing this, man doing that. no, no, it's god coming down and declaring his love
00:21:38.349 --> 00:21:39.450
No, no, it's god coming down and declaring his love for us, amen.
00:21:39.517 --> 00:21:41.352
And declaring his love for us, amen. dying for our sins.
00:21:41.419 --> 00:21:42.420
For us, amen. dying for our sins. god cannot just forgive without
00:21:42.486 --> 00:21:44.488
Dying for our sins. god cannot just forgive without payment, amen, or else he's
00:21:44.555 --> 00:21:46.690
God cannot just forgive without payment, amen, or else he's not right.
00:21:46.757 --> 00:21:47.191
Payment, amen, or else he's not right. like a judge cannot just
00:21:47.258 --> 00:21:48.692
Not right. like a judge cannot just presumptuously let a prison or
00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:50.928
Like a judge cannot just presumptuously let a prison or a criminal free unless there's a
00:21:50.995 --> 00:21:53.197
Presumptuously let a prison or a criminal free unless there's a payment, amen.
00:21:53.264 --> 00:21:55.032
A criminal free unless there's a payment, amen. usually he pays for it
00:21:55.099 --> 00:21:56.534
Payment, amen. usually he pays for it with time.
00:21:56.600 --> 00:21:57.802
Usually he pays for it with time. you do the crime, you do the
00:21:57.868 --> 00:21:59.069
With time. you do the crime, you do the time, right?
00:21:59.136 --> 00:22:00.571
You do the crime, you do the time, right? but jesus took our place.
00:22:00.638 --> 00:22:02.640
Time, right? but jesus took our place. he died in our place, and today,
00:22:02.706 --> 00:22:04.708
But jesus took our place. he died in our place, and today, we celebrate resurrection
00:22:04.775 --> 00:22:06.076
He died in our place, and today, we celebrate resurrection because he rose from the dead,
00:22:06.143 --> 00:22:07.778
We celebrate resurrection because he rose from the dead, and the bible says in romans 4,
00:22:07.845 --> 00:22:10.080
And i'll close with this.
00:22:10.381 --> 00:22:11.615
And i'll close with this. it says that jesus was
00:22:11.682 --> 00:22:13.751
It says that jesus was delivered, look at the last
00:22:13.818 --> 00:22:14.585
Delivered, look at the last part, jesus, "was delivered up
00:22:14.652 --> 00:22:16.187
Part, jesus, "was delivered up because of our offenses,"
00:22:16.253 --> 00:22:17.788
Because of our offenses," our sins, but he
00:22:17.855 --> 00:22:18.689
Our sins, but he "was raised up," why?
00:22:18.756 --> 00:22:20.591
"was raised up," why? "because of our being
00:22:20.658 --> 00:22:21.725
"because of our being declared righteous."
00:22:21.792 --> 00:22:23.794
Declared righteous." whoa, did you hear that?
00:22:23.861 --> 00:22:25.196
Whoa, did you hear that? why did jesus--why was jesus
00:22:25.262 --> 00:22:27.531
Why did jesus--why was jesus delivered to the cross?
00:22:27.598 --> 00:22:28.833
Delivered to the cross? because of our offenses, our
00:22:28.899 --> 00:22:30.634
Because of our offenses, our sins against god.
00:22:30.701 --> 00:22:32.603
Against the holy god, amen.
00:22:32.903 --> 00:22:35.539
Against the holy god, amen. but why was jesus raised from
00:22:35.606 --> 00:22:37.308
Against the holy god, amen. but why was jesus raised from the dead?
00:22:37.374 --> 00:22:38.476
But why was jesus raised from the dead? because we were
00:22:38.542 --> 00:22:39.176
The dead? because we were declared righteous.
00:22:39.243 --> 00:22:40.311
Because we were declared righteous. by whom?
00:22:40.377 --> 00:22:40.978
Declared righteous. by whom? by god.
00:22:41.045 --> 00:22:42.146
By whom? by god. in other words, jesus's
00:22:42.213 --> 00:22:43.347
By god. in other words, jesus's resurrection means you
00:22:43.414 --> 00:22:46.183
In other words, jesus's resurrection means you are acquitted.
00:22:46.250 --> 00:22:47.852
Resurrection means you are acquitted. you are righteous.
00:22:47.918 --> 00:22:49.653
Are acquitted. you are righteous. how do you know a prisoner has
00:22:49.720 --> 00:22:53.791
You are righteous. how do you know a prisoner has fulfilled his obligations, all
00:22:53.858 --> 00:22:56.694
How do you know a prisoner has fulfilled his obligations, all right, to the law?
00:22:56.760 --> 00:22:59.330
Fulfilled his obligations, all right, to the law? how, by him coming out, amen.
00:22:59.396 --> 00:23:01.632
Right, to the law? how, by him coming out, amen. he has paid for it.
00:23:01.699 --> 00:23:02.733
How, by him coming out, amen. he has paid for it. so jesus came out of the grave
00:23:02.800 --> 00:23:04.335
He has paid for it. so jesus came out of the grave bodily, and god declared
00:23:04.401 --> 00:23:06.470
So jesus came out of the grave bodily, and god declared us righteous.
00:23:06.537 --> 00:23:07.638
Bodily, and god declared us righteous. that's why god raised jesus from
00:23:07.705 --> 00:23:08.739
Us righteous. that's why god raised jesus from the dead.
00:23:08.806 --> 00:23:09.306
That's why god raised jesus from the dead. god didn't raise jesus because
00:23:09.373 --> 00:23:10.608
The dead. god didn't raise jesus because he is god's son.
00:23:10.674 --> 00:23:11.976
God didn't raise jesus because he is god's son. he always is that, but god
00:23:12.042 --> 00:23:14.111
He is god's son. he always is that, but god raised jesus because we were
00:23:14.178 --> 00:23:15.112
He always is that, but god raised jesus because we were declared righteous, because the
00:23:15.179 --> 00:23:16.447
Raised jesus because we were declared righteous, because the same body that carried your sins
00:23:16.514 --> 00:23:18.115
Declared righteous, because the same body that carried your sins and mine at the cross three days
00:23:18.182 --> 00:23:19.783
Same body that carried your sins and mine at the cross three days ago, now rose from the dead
00:23:19.850 --> 00:23:22.286
And mine at the cross three days ago, now rose from the dead without our sins.
00:23:22.353 --> 00:23:23.554
Ago, now rose from the dead without our sins. what does that mean?
00:23:23.621 --> 00:23:24.555
Without our sins. what does that mean? that means god is satisfied with
00:23:24.622 --> 00:23:25.756
What does that mean? that means god is satisfied with what he did, god accepts it, and
00:23:25.823 --> 00:23:27.758
That means god is satisfied with what he did, god accepts it, and god imputes righteousness
00:23:27.825 --> 00:23:29.093
What he did, god accepts it, and god imputes righteousness to you.
00:23:29.159 --> 00:23:29.693
God imputes righteousness to you. if you believe on him, god
00:23:29.760 --> 00:23:30.828
To you. if you believe on him, god declares you righteous, and all
00:23:30.895 --> 00:23:33.864
