The Winning Walk with Dr. Ed Young | Ed Young - Victory In Jesus | April 2, 2026
- Every plant, everything that's alive
- 00:00:00.924 --> 00:00:03.860
- Came from a seed that died, that was buried.
- 00:00:03.860 --> 00:00:07.363
- It came back a totally different thing.
- 00:00:07.363 --> 00:00:10.033
- Here's a little seed. it becomes back and turn him.
- 00:00:10.033 --> 00:00:12.502
- Here's a little seed.
- 00:00:12.502 --> 00:00:14.237
- He comes back a tree.
- 00:00:14.237 --> 00:00:16.506
- Resurrection is a very common thing in nature.
- 00:00:16.506 --> 00:00:19.976
- It is a natural thing.
- 00:00:19.976 --> 00:00:21.511
- What about a caterpillar borer?
- 00:00:21.511 --> 00:00:24.047
- What in the world could a caterpillar ever be?
- 00:00:24.047 --> 00:00:27.417
- It goes in that little cocoon and it comes out
- 00:00:27.417 --> 00:00:31.054
- A beautiful butterfly.
- 00:00:31.054 --> 00:00:32.622
- Resurrection.
- 00:00:32.622 --> 00:00:34.624
- Before the resurrection,
- 00:00:34.624 --> 00:00:36.559
- There was a dark, dark friday.
- 00:00:36.559 --> 00:00:39.562
- Silence.
- 00:00:39.829 --> 00:00:40.563
- Sorrow, uncertainty.
- 00:00:40.563 --> 00:00:43.266
- But easter is coming.
- 00:00:43.266 --> 00:00:45.201
- And when the sun rose that morning, everything changed.
- 00:00:45.201 --> 00:00:49.139
- The cross was not the end of the story.
- 00:00:49.139 --> 00:00:51.374
- The tomb could not hold the son of the living god.
- 00:00:51.374 --> 00:00:55.612
- The same resurrection power brings light
- 00:00:55.612 --> 00:00:58.715
- Into your darkness and into my darkness in every moment.
- 00:00:58.715 --> 00:01:03.820
- The resurrection reminds
- 00:01:04.354 --> 00:01:05.688
- Us that god specializes in turning endings
- 00:01:05.688 --> 00:01:10.426
- Into beginnings.
- 00:01:10.426 --> 00:01:12.562
- Whatever you're facing today,
- 00:01:12.562 --> 00:01:14.631
- And thank you for joining me today on the winning walk.
- 00:01:14.631 --> 00:01:17.600
- Let's get started.
- 00:01:17.600 --> 00:01:37.887
- Three billion people
- 00:01:38.354 --> 00:01:42.158
- Who are christians around the world will be celebrating
- 00:01:42.158 --> 00:01:46.162
- Easter today.
- 00:01:46.162 --> 00:01:49.666
- Five continents.
- 00:01:50.066 --> 00:01:53.036
- Every ethnicity,
- 00:01:53.036 --> 00:01:55.672
- Virtually every language around the world.
- 00:01:55.672 --> 00:02:00.276
- A worship leader will stand up
- 00:02:00.276 --> 00:02:03.880
- Before the congregation,
- 00:02:04.414 --> 00:02:06.916
- And the worship leader will express his profession.
- 00:02:06.916 --> 00:02:11.254
- His witness and the congregation
- 00:02:11.254 --> 00:02:14.591
- Will respond.
- 00:02:14.591 --> 00:02:17.227
- This will do today,
- 00:02:17.227 --> 00:02:19.229
- When i say christ has risen.
- 00:02:19.229 --> 00:02:23.933
- Christ is risen.
- 00:02:24.334 --> 00:02:28.104
- And will add something.
- 00:02:28.605 --> 00:02:31.307
- The word hallelujah
- 00:02:31.307 --> 00:02:34.110
- Is never translated
- 00:02:34.110 --> 00:02:36.679
- In every language.
- 00:02:36.679 --> 00:02:37.747
- French, italian.
- 00:02:37.747 --> 00:02:40.583
- Spanish.
- 00:02:40.583 --> 00:02:41.317
- Every language.
- 00:02:41.317 --> 00:02:43.286
- It's always. hallelujah.
- 00:02:43.286 --> 00:02:45.755
- So as we give our.
- 00:02:45.755 --> 00:02:47.223
- With this, christ is risen.
- 00:02:47.223 --> 00:02:54.163
- Which means
- 00:02:54.497 --> 00:02:56.099
- Praise be to god.
- 00:02:56.099 --> 00:03:00.637
- To summarize,
- 00:03:01.004 --> 00:03:02.338
- Christianity in just a few verses.
- 00:03:02.338 --> 00:03:06.042
- In fact, only two.
- 00:03:06.042 --> 00:03:08.111
- You could over your bibles to first corinthians
- 00:03:08.111 --> 00:03:10.780
- Chapter 15, and we'll look at two verses
- 00:03:10.780 --> 00:03:14.784
- There that in a very succinct way
- 00:03:14.784 --> 00:03:18.421
- Tells us what it means to be
- 00:03:18.421 --> 00:03:22.492
- A christian.
- 00:03:22.825 --> 00:03:25.895
- Dark 38.
- 00:03:26.162 --> 00:03:27.297
- This past monday
- 00:03:27.297 --> 00:03:30.099
- I got up
- 00:03:30.099 --> 00:03:32.535
- Coffee?
- 00:03:32.535 --> 00:03:34.704
- Glass of water
- 00:03:34.704 --> 00:03:37.106
- Opened the book,
- 00:03:37.106 --> 00:03:39.309
- And i began to read the easter story
- 00:03:39.309 --> 00:03:42.445
- In the gospels, as i have many, many times.
- 00:03:42.445 --> 00:03:46.549
- As i was reading, i said, you know, easter
- 00:03:46.549 --> 00:03:50.119
- Is the most important event in history.
- 00:03:50.119 --> 00:03:53.856
- And then i thought back
- 00:03:53.856 --> 00:03:56.726
- What i did before christmas.
- 00:03:56.726 --> 00:03:59.062
- I opened the bible and i started reading all the
- 00:03:59.062 --> 00:04:02.098
- Christmas accounts, and matthew, mark,
- 00:04:02.098 --> 00:04:04.033
- Luke and john and and i said, no, christmas
- 00:04:04.033 --> 00:04:07.704
- Is the most important event in history.
- 00:04:07.704 --> 00:04:11.741
- You can't have it both ways.
- 00:04:12.342 --> 00:04:15.445
- Either christmas
- 00:04:15.845 --> 00:04:16.979
- Or easter or easter or christmas.
- 00:04:16.979 --> 00:04:20.249
- So i tried to put it together
- 00:04:20.249 --> 00:04:21.918
- And this is what i came up with.
- 00:04:21.918 --> 00:04:24.654
- Christmas is the most
- 00:04:24.654 --> 00:04:27.890
- Important
- 00:04:28.191 --> 00:04:30.626
- Event in god's history.
- 00:04:30.626 --> 00:04:35.465
- What i mean by that all the prophecy,
- 00:04:35.465 --> 00:04:38.634
- All the promises over thousands of years
- 00:04:38.634 --> 00:04:42.205
- Came together when divinity visited the earth.
- 00:04:42.205 --> 00:04:46.709
- God took on human flesh, buying christmas.
- 00:04:47.577 --> 00:04:51.280
- Messiah has come the most important event
- 00:04:51.280 --> 00:04:54.917
- And god's history.
- 00:04:54.917 --> 00:04:58.020
- Easter is the most important
- 00:04:58.020 --> 00:05:01.124
- Event in mankind's history.
- 00:05:01.124 --> 00:05:03.926
- Why is that?
- 00:05:03.926 --> 00:05:05.395
- Because easter tells us that
- 00:05:05.395 --> 00:05:07.597
- There is the promise of life
- 00:05:07.597 --> 00:05:10.566
- After this life.
- 00:05:10.566 --> 00:05:13.770
- And so if we look at the simplicity
- 00:05:13.770 --> 00:05:16.873
- Of what it means to be a christian in two verses
- 00:05:16.873 --> 00:05:19.742
- And first corinthians 15, let me tell you something.
- 00:05:19.742 --> 00:05:22.845
- First corinthians 15 is one of the great
- 00:05:23.679 --> 00:05:26.716
- Chapters in the bible, and it clearly tells us,
- 00:05:26.716 --> 00:05:31.888
- Answering questions, making proclamations,
- 00:05:31.888 --> 00:05:35.558
- What easter is really all about.
- 00:05:35.558 --> 00:05:38.928
- Here it is, verse three and four.
- 00:05:38.928 --> 00:05:41.397
- One corinthians 15 paul says,
- 00:05:41.397 --> 00:05:44.967
- For i delivered to you
- 00:05:45.435 --> 00:05:48.271
- As as first important number one,
- 00:05:48.271 --> 00:05:52.208
- What i also receive, that
- 00:05:52.775 --> 00:05:54.744
- Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures,
- 00:05:54.744 --> 00:05:59.549
- And he was buried according to the scriptures.
- 00:05:59.549 --> 00:06:02.318
- And on the third day
- 00:06:02.785 --> 00:06:06.589
- He was raised according
- 00:06:07.089 --> 00:06:09.225
- To the scriptures.
- 00:06:09.225 --> 00:06:12.028
- That's it.
- 00:06:12.028 --> 00:06:14.096
- Death.
- 00:06:14.096 --> 00:06:15.231
- Resurrection.
- 00:06:15.231 --> 00:06:16.566
- Death on the cross.
- 00:06:16.566 --> 00:06:17.867
- Now, what is that all about?
- 00:06:17.867 --> 00:06:19.869
- Well, we ran crosses.
- 00:06:19.869 --> 00:06:21.204
- We talk about crosses. what is it?
- 00:06:21.204 --> 00:06:23.873
- The cross is that moment in time
- 00:06:23.873 --> 00:06:26.909
- In which god's son
- 00:06:27.343 --> 00:06:29.679
- Took on all the sin and the trash of the world
- 00:06:29.679 --> 00:06:35.017
- That had accumulated in your life and in my life.
- 00:06:35.017 --> 00:06:39.422
- I say that reverently.
- 00:06:39.889 --> 00:06:41.624
- But jesus, on that cross
- 00:06:41.624 --> 00:06:45.528
- Was the garbage collector,
- 00:06:46.095 --> 00:06:48.764
- A garbage collector.
- 00:06:48.764 --> 00:06:51.000
- Somehow all the ugly,
- 00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:53.336
- Unseen things that we have done,
- 00:06:53.336 --> 00:06:56.806
- They were placed upon jesus, who was perfect.
- 00:06:56.806 --> 00:06:59.842
- And at that moment, amazingly so.
- 00:07:00.610 --> 00:07:03.579
- Jesus quotes psalm 22.
- 00:07:03.579 --> 00:07:06.949
- He said, my
- 00:07:07.283 --> 00:07:08.117
- God, my god, why have you forsaken me?
- 00:07:08.117 --> 00:07:10.853
- Why did god turn his back on jesus there
- 00:07:10.853 --> 00:07:14.857
- When he most needed him on the cross?
- 00:07:14.857 --> 00:07:17.660
- I'll tell you why.
- 00:07:17.660 --> 00:07:19.629
- Our god is holy.
- 00:07:19.629 --> 00:07:21.097
- He cannot look on sin.
- 00:07:21.097 --> 00:07:23.966
- And therefore, when all of our mess
- 00:07:23.966 --> 00:07:26.402
- Was placed on his son, he looked away.
- 00:07:26.402 --> 00:07:29.238
- And the bible tells us that jesus at that time
- 00:07:29.238 --> 00:07:32.608
- Went into hell or this hell.
- 00:07:32.608 --> 00:07:35.411
- That is where god is not.
- 00:07:35.411 --> 00:07:37.713
- Jesus did this on your behalf and on my behalf.
- 00:07:37.713 --> 00:07:42.451
- Because the wages of sin is death.
- 00:07:42.451 --> 00:07:45.454
- Jesus took all the results
- 00:07:46.022 --> 00:07:48.691
- Of your sin and my sin upon himself,
- 00:07:48.691 --> 00:07:51.360
- And he died to death, that we deserve to die.
- 00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:54.330
- So we can live forever.
- 00:07:54.330 --> 00:07:55.932
- The life that he deserves to live.
- 00:07:55.932 --> 00:07:58.634
- That is the miracle and the
- 00:07:59.235 --> 00:08:01.637
- Beauty of forgiveness and grace on the cross.
- 00:08:01.637 --> 00:08:05.474
- And then we come to the resurrection.
- 00:08:06.275 --> 00:08:09.545
- You say, well, jesus came back from the grave.
- 00:08:09.545 --> 00:08:12.014
- No, he didn't.
- 00:08:12.014 --> 00:08:13.649
- Jesus was stone
- 00:08:13.649 --> 00:08:15.351
- Cold, dead, and death can do nothing.
- 00:08:15.351 --> 00:08:18.421
- It was god the father who raised him from the grave.
- 00:08:18.421 --> 00:08:23.392
- And therefore, we're here today
- 00:08:24.026 --> 00:08:25.861
- To shout
- 00:08:25.861 --> 00:08:28.731
- And to explain our witness.
- 00:08:28.731 --> 00:08:30.866
- Christ is risen!
- 00:08:30.866 --> 00:08:33.703
- And we absolutely.
- 00:08:34.136 --> 00:08:37.540
- Now we look at here in this passage, and all of us
- 00:08:37.540 --> 00:08:41.811
- Come to the point and say, you know, let's just be real here.
- 00:08:41.811 --> 00:08:45.615
- This easter, let's let's get down to business.
- 00:08:45.615 --> 00:08:48.818
- Did this really happen?
- 00:08:49.318 --> 00:08:52.054
- Is it a myth?
- 00:08:52.054 --> 00:08:53.656
- Is it a legend?
- 00:08:53.656 --> 00:08:55.257
- It is.
- 00:08:55.257 --> 00:08:56.058
- What? well, we hope it happened.
- 00:08:56.058 --> 00:08:58.394
- Let me tell you something.
- 00:08:58.394 --> 00:09:00.229
- This is absolutely a historical fact.
- 00:09:00.229 --> 00:09:05.167
- And paul deals with that.
- 00:09:05.735 --> 00:09:07.737
- You say? okay.
- 00:09:07.737 --> 00:09:09.171
- The father raised jesus from the dead.
- 00:09:09.171 --> 00:09:11.340
- He was dead, and he was brought back to life again.
- 00:09:11.340 --> 00:09:15.077
- How do we know?
- 00:09:15.077 --> 00:09:16.145
- Let me tell you something, ladies and gentlemen.
- 00:09:16.145 --> 00:09:18.514
- There is no fact in all antiquity
- 00:09:18.514 --> 00:09:22.218
- That has been examined as thoroughly so many times
- 00:09:22.218 --> 00:09:26.288
- By every scholar, almost, who has ever lived.
- 00:09:26.288 --> 00:09:30.493
- In fact, there is more evidence
- 00:09:31.127 --> 00:09:33.129
- If you're a historian, if you're an anthropologist.
- 00:09:33.129 --> 00:09:36.799
- There is more evidence that god raised jesus from the dead.
- 00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:41.804
- Then there is evidence that julius caesar
- 00:09:41.804 --> 00:09:44.840
- Ever conquered great britain.
- 00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:47.910
- So how do you get evidence?
- 00:09:47.910 --> 00:09:49.712
- How do you know?
- 00:09:49.712 --> 00:09:50.680
- There are a couple of kinds of evidence.
- 00:09:50.680 --> 00:09:53.883
- First of all, there's circumstantial evidence.
- 00:09:53.883 --> 00:09:56.986
- Forensic evidence.
- 00:09:56.986 --> 00:09:59.188
- And then there is empirical evidence.
- 00:09:59.188 --> 00:10:01.757
- There's eye witness evidence.
- 00:10:01.757 --> 00:10:05.261
- How does this operate?
- 00:10:05.728 --> 00:10:08.064
- Very simply, if you've ever been to law
- 00:10:08.064 --> 00:10:10.299
- School, i hope many of you have not.
- 00:10:10.299 --> 00:10:13.302
- But if you've ever been to law
- 00:10:13.903 --> 00:10:15.337
- School, you've learned about evidence.
- 00:10:15.337 --> 00:10:18.541
- Evidence.
- 00:10:18.841 --> 00:10:19.709
- Circumstantial evidence is simply this.
- 00:10:19.709 --> 00:10:23.979
- You wake up the morning, you look outside.
- 00:10:23.979 --> 00:10:26.916
- You see rain is falling.
- 00:10:26.916 --> 00:10:28.584
- You may hear thunder.
- 00:10:28.584 --> 00:10:29.819
- You may hear lightning.
- 00:10:29.819 --> 00:10:31.887
- And you hear it on the roof.
- 00:10:31.887 --> 00:10:34.557
- And somebody is coming in and they have an umbrella.
- 00:10:34.557 --> 00:10:37.626
- You see rain falling on them on the umbrella.
- 00:10:37.626 --> 00:10:40.730
- And they come out.
- 00:10:40.730 --> 00:10:41.630
- They follow the umbrella and they come in
- 00:10:41.630 --> 00:10:44.333
- And you notice they're wet.
- 00:10:44.333 --> 00:10:47.403
- That is circumstantial evidence.
- 00:10:47.403 --> 00:10:49.739
- Ladies and gentlemen.
- 00:10:49.739 --> 00:10:51.307
- You say?
- 00:10:51.307 --> 00:10:52.241
- Well, it seems obvious to me, i saw it.
- 00:10:52.241 --> 00:10:54.410
- I witness on somebody else.
- 00:10:54.410 --> 00:10:56.746
- I heard it on the roof.
- 00:10:56.746 --> 00:10:57.913
- No, that is circumstantial evidence.
- 00:10:57.913 --> 00:11:01.383
- Now, if you go outside in the rain
- 00:11:02.118 --> 00:11:06.188
- And you look up to heaven,
- 00:11:06.756 --> 00:11:09.058
- And the rain falls on you, and the rain falls
- 00:11:09.058 --> 00:11:12.027
- On your clothes, that is personal experience.
- 00:11:12.027 --> 00:11:16.899
- That is eye witness evidence.
- 00:11:16.899 --> 00:11:19.135
- Two kinds of evidence.
- 00:11:19.135 --> 00:11:20.669
- Circumstantial, which is strong and then absolute
- 00:11:20.669 --> 00:11:24.607
- Empirical evidence
- 00:11:24.607 --> 00:11:26.242
- That you saw that you experienced for yourself.
- 00:11:26.242 --> 00:11:28.978
- See the difference.
- 00:11:28.978 --> 00:11:30.012
- And you have that right here in the scripture,
- 00:11:30.012 --> 00:11:32.848
- Right here in the scripture.
- 00:11:33.449 --> 00:11:35.951
- Let's just start with circumstantial evidence.
- 00:11:35.951 --> 00:11:39.421
- Let's just say on that easter morning,
- 00:11:39.421 --> 00:11:42.391
- Then we got up early
- 00:11:42.391 --> 00:11:44.627
- And you and i had the privilege
- 00:11:44.627 --> 00:11:46.395
- Of walking in
- 00:11:46.395 --> 00:11:49.165
- To the place where jesus was buried,
- 00:11:49.165 --> 00:11:51.867
- And we would walk in, what's the first thing we'd see?
- 00:11:51.867 --> 00:11:54.737
- We would see a stone.
- 00:11:55.237 --> 00:11:56.972
- About 2 or 2 and a half tons had been rolled away.
- 00:11:56.972 --> 00:12:00.876
- Now one account, historical account, tells us it
- 00:12:00.876 --> 00:12:03.979
- Not only had been rolled away from sealing the tomb,
- 00:12:03.979 --> 00:12:07.783
- But it was rolled uphill
- 00:12:07.783 --> 00:12:09.785
- 2 million, two times, two and a half times.
- 00:12:10.653 --> 00:12:12.988
- That's a pretty good feat, is it not?
- 00:12:12.988 --> 00:12:15.691
- Everybody wants a happy home.
- 00:12:16.325 --> 00:12:19.328
- But let's be honest.
- 00:12:19.328 --> 00:12:20.830
- A happy home doesn't just happen.
- 00:12:20.830 --> 00:12:23.732
- It's built.
- 00:12:23.732 --> 00:12:25.000
- It's shaped.
- 00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:26.435
- Day by day by day.
- 00:12:26.435 --> 00:12:28.571
- That's why i want to encourage you to read
- 00:12:28.571 --> 00:12:31.140
- This little booklet, cardinal rules for a happy home.
- 00:12:31.140 --> 00:12:34.376
- This 90 day devotional is from
- 00:12:34.376 --> 00:12:36.879
- Decades of real life pastoring,
- 00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:40.149
- Counseling, and building my own home and family.
- 00:12:40.149 --> 00:12:43.252
- In the page of this book each day
- 00:12:43.986 --> 00:12:45.754
- You will find a simple rhythm
- 00:12:45.754 --> 00:12:48.724
- As of scripture,
- 00:12:48.724 --> 00:12:50.559
- Practical, down to earth navigation,
- 00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:53.495
- And a guided prayer to help you bring it all home.
- 00:12:53.495 --> 00:12:58.000
- We're not talking about something complicated here.
- 00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:00.636
- We're talking about just 15 minutes a day.
- 00:13:00.636 --> 00:13:03.639
- 15 minutes.
- 00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:05.341
- Did you can strengthen your marriage and refocus
- 00:13:05.341 --> 00:13:08.043
- Your home on what matters the most in christ
- 00:13:08.043 --> 00:13:12.448
- Centered, foundation, practical, down to earth.
- 00:13:12.448 --> 00:13:15.718
- Your life.
- 00:13:16.018 --> 00:13:17.152
- Because when christ is at the center, guess what?
- 00:13:17.152 --> 00:13:20.122
- Everything else changes.
- 00:13:20.122 --> 00:13:23.125
- Conversations change.
- 00:13:23.626 --> 00:13:25.494
- Priorities change.
- 00:13:25.494 --> 00:13:27.129
- Hearts begin to change.
- 00:13:27.129 --> 00:13:28.964
- Take that first step today.

- And begin your 90 day journey right now.
- 00:13:36.639 --> 00:13:53.555
- Boy, the stone is rolled away.
- 00:13:54.156 --> 00:13:55.958
- We'd see that.
- 00:13:55.958 --> 00:13:56.859
- When the roman.
- 00:13:56.859 --> 00:13:57.893
- See, i wonder what happened.
- 00:13:57.893 --> 00:14:00.162
- And then perhaps we would look in the grave.
- 00:14:00.162 --> 00:14:03.499
- The two marys were there.
- 00:14:03.499 --> 00:14:04.733
- They did not do that.
- 00:14:04.733 --> 00:14:05.868
- They ran and got peter. john.
- 00:14:05.868 --> 00:14:07.636
- You remember?
- 00:14:07.636 --> 00:14:08.671
- And peter and john
- 00:14:08.671 --> 00:14:09.838
- Raced to the tomb to see what in the world was going on.
- 00:14:09.838 --> 00:14:13.242
- John outran peter.
- 00:14:13.242 --> 00:14:16.011
- Peter had had two mighty
- 00:14:16.011 --> 00:14:17.379
- Fish and chips, and he finished second.
- 00:14:17.379 --> 00:14:20.215
- John looked in, and then peter looked in and went in.
- 00:14:20.215 --> 00:14:24.153
- And what did he see?
- 00:14:24.153 --> 00:14:25.421
- He would see what we have seen.
- 00:14:25.421 --> 00:14:27.122
- An empty tomb.
- 00:14:27.122 --> 00:14:29.658
- He would see clothes there
- 00:14:28.757 --> 00:14:32.728
- Still in place, where jesus had been wrapped
- 00:14:32.728 --> 00:14:36.031
- In, and there would be a little indentation,
- 00:14:36.031 --> 00:14:39.568
- And he's gone.
- 00:14:39.902 --> 00:14:41.236
- You said, well, what about the roman soldiers?
- 00:14:41.236 --> 00:14:43.706
- Well, in their squad
- 00:14:43.706 --> 00:14:44.940
- Sent there to make sure nothing happens here at this place.
- 00:14:44.940 --> 00:14:48.344
- And we're done with him once and for all.
- 00:14:48.344 --> 00:14:51.613
- A roman soldier who would leave his post
- 00:14:51.613 --> 00:14:54.950
- Would be buried alive.
- 00:14:55.417 --> 00:14:58.187
- So you didn't have many people wandering off
- 00:14:59.088 --> 00:15:02.324
- If you had pledge allegiance to caesar.
- 00:15:02.324 --> 00:15:05.160
- So you see all the precautions that were taken
- 00:15:06.061 --> 00:15:09.164
- By the romans and the jews to make sure this was there.
- 00:15:09.164 --> 00:15:13.035
- Now, that is used, giving us even more
- 00:15:13.035 --> 00:15:15.938
- Circumstantial evidence that christ has risen.
- 00:15:15.938 --> 00:15:23.012
- And that is the forensic evidence.
- 00:15:23.779 --> 00:15:28.083
- But what about the second category?
- 00:15:28.083 --> 00:15:30.486
- Paul lists some of them right here.
- 00:15:30.486 --> 00:15:33.622
- Jesus was raised from the dead.
- 00:15:33.622 --> 00:15:36.825
- He walked on the earth for 40 days.
- 00:15:36.825 --> 00:15:40.129
- He made at least 11 recorded
- 00:15:40.129 --> 00:15:42.831
- Appearances to all kinds of people.
- 00:15:42.831 --> 00:15:46.135
- The road to emmaus, to people he had known.
- 00:15:46.135 --> 00:15:49.104
- He appeared to them well.
- 00:15:49.104 --> 00:15:51.340
- He appeared to his brother james,
- 00:15:51.340 --> 00:15:53.776
- Who had thought he was a little bit out of it.
- 00:15:53.776 --> 00:15:56.745
- And his whole family, remember, had backed away from him,
- 00:15:56.745 --> 00:16:00.082
- And he appeared to james.
- 00:16:00.649 --> 00:16:02.084
- And james subsequently became a leader in the early church.
- 00:16:02.084 --> 00:16:05.287
- Amazing thing, his brother billy graham said.
- 00:16:05.287 --> 00:16:08.057
- The fact that his brother james,
- 00:16:08.057 --> 00:16:10.125
- Who didn't believe in him from the get go, believe in him
- 00:16:10.125 --> 00:16:13.762
- So completely.
- 00:16:13.762 --> 00:16:14.830
- That was plenty of evidence for him.
- 00:16:14.830 --> 00:16:18.700
- And then he appeared to the apostles in the upper room.
- 00:16:18.700 --> 00:16:22.104
- And you remember thomas wasn't there.
- 00:16:22.905 --> 00:16:24.506
- I love thomas.
- 00:16:24.506 --> 00:16:25.441
- He was awol, absent without leave,
- 00:16:25.441 --> 00:16:28.577
- And one of the other followers that jesus told thomas,
- 00:16:28.577 --> 00:16:31.980
- O doubting thomas. let me tell you something.
- 00:16:31.980 --> 00:16:34.349
- He is alive.
- 00:16:34.349 --> 00:16:35.984
- Thomas said, no, i know he's stone cold dead.
- 00:16:35.984 --> 00:16:39.354
- Some of you people, you.
- 00:16:39.354 --> 00:16:41.523
- You've lost it.
- 00:16:41.523 --> 00:16:42.858
- You're out of touch with reality.
- 00:16:42.858 --> 00:16:44.960
- You're you're you're illusionary.
- 00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:47.796
- But then a second time, jesus
- 00:16:47.796 --> 00:16:49.364
- Appeared to those apostles, and thomas was there.
- 00:16:49.364 --> 00:16:53.135
- And thomas had said earlier, i'm not going to believe this
- 00:16:53.135 --> 00:16:57.106
- Until i see in his hands the print of the nails,
- 00:16:57.106 --> 00:17:00.309
- And see that where the where the sword one at his side.
- 00:17:00.309 --> 00:17:04.046
- I'm not going to believe till i experience that.
- 00:17:04.046 --> 00:17:06.915
- But when thomas saw the resurrected lord,
- 00:17:06.915 --> 00:17:10.586
- He didn't check out his hands or his side.
- 00:17:10.586 --> 00:17:14.256
- He just fell down and said, my lord and my god.
- 00:17:14.256 --> 00:17:18.227
- Appearances, empirical evidence.
- 00:17:18.961 --> 00:17:21.797
- Eyewitness accounts.
- 00:17:22.264 --> 00:17:24.833
- And then finally.
- 00:17:24.833 --> 00:17:26.335
- And there's 11 of them.
- 00:17:26.335 --> 00:17:27.636
- He appeared to over 500 men.
- 00:17:27.636 --> 00:17:30.772
- It's important to know that they only recorded men
- 00:17:30.772 --> 00:17:33.942
- In that day.
- 00:17:33.942 --> 00:17:35.144
- We can be sure that women were there also some teenagers
- 00:17:35.144 --> 00:17:38.714
- And young people.
- 00:17:38.714 --> 00:17:39.481
- They would not have been counted.
- 00:17:39.481 --> 00:17:42.084
- And all of a sudden, here's him who was dead.
- 00:17:42.084 --> 00:17:45.053
- Now he is alive.
- 00:17:45.053 --> 00:17:46.421
- He appeared before 500.
- 00:17:46.421 --> 00:17:49.158
- How strong a witness is that?
- 00:17:49.158 --> 00:17:51.059
- If you're an attorney
- 00:17:51.059 --> 00:17:53.295
- And you got only a six minute
- 00:17:53.295 --> 00:17:55.564
- Testimony from each one of those 500,
- 00:17:55.564 --> 00:17:58.534
- You would have 50 hours
- 00:17:58.534 --> 00:18:01.336
- Of eye witness, empirical testimony
- 00:18:01.336 --> 00:18:04.406
- That he who was dead is now alive.
- 00:18:04.406 --> 00:18:07.676
- Christ is risen.
- 00:18:07.676 --> 00:18:11.580
- But we still have other questions.
- 00:18:12.347 --> 00:18:14.883
- And it's the questions that we ask.
- 00:18:14.883 --> 00:18:17.119
- It seems like paul could anticipate those.
- 00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:19.988
- If you look here in verse 35,
- 00:18:19.988 --> 00:18:23.492
- But someone will say, how are the dead raised?
- 00:18:23.492 --> 00:18:26.595
- What kind of body they have?
- 00:18:26.595 --> 00:18:28.096
- And paul says, you fool,
- 00:18:28.096 --> 00:18:30.566
- I didn't think that's a foolish question.
- 00:18:31.400 --> 00:18:32.935
- Did you?
- 00:18:32.935 --> 00:18:34.436
- He says, resurrection
- 00:18:34.436 --> 00:18:36.605
- Is a natural thing.
- 00:18:36.605 --> 00:18:40.242
- It is.
- 00:18:40.442 --> 00:18:41.577
- Listen, i explains.
- 00:18:41.577 --> 00:18:42.811
- It's beautiful, he says clearly.
- 00:18:42.811 --> 00:18:45.914
- And that would you so you do not show the body
- 00:18:45.914 --> 00:18:50.085
- Which is to be but bare grain,
- 00:18:50.085 --> 00:18:53.222
- Perhaps wheat or something else.
- 00:18:53.222 --> 00:18:55.691
- If god gives it a body just as he wished,
- 00:18:55.691 --> 00:18:58.393
- And to each of the seeds a body of their own
- 00:18:58.393 --> 00:19:02.764
- Resurrection.
- 00:19:03.131 --> 00:19:04.199
- Strange to, you know, new every plant, everything
- 00:19:04.199 --> 00:19:07.903
- That's alive came from a seed that died, that was buried.
- 00:19:07.903 --> 00:19:12.374
- It came back a totally different thing.
- 00:19:12.374 --> 00:19:15.043
- Here's a little seed. it becomes back and turn him.
- 00:19:15.043 --> 00:19:17.512
- Here's a little seed.
- 00:19:17.512 --> 00:19:19.248
- He comes back a tree.
- 00:19:19.248 --> 00:19:21.516
- Resurrection is a very common thing in nature.
- 00:19:21.516 --> 00:19:24.987
- It is a natural thing.
- 00:19:24.987 --> 00:19:26.521
- What about a caterpillar borer?
- 00:19:26.521 --> 00:19:29.057
- What in the world could a caterpillar ever be?
- 00:19:29.057 --> 00:19:32.427
- It goes in that little cocoon and it comes out
- 00:19:32.427 --> 00:19:36.064
- A beautiful butterfly.
- 00:19:36.064 --> 00:19:37.633
- Resurrection.
- 00:19:37.633 --> 00:19:39.434
- All in nature.
- 00:19:39.434 --> 00:19:41.370
- Resurrection is a natural thing.
- 00:19:41.370 --> 00:19:43.905
- It is there for us to observe in all of life.
- 00:19:43.905 --> 00:19:47.676
- It goes in a seed.
- 00:19:47.676 --> 00:19:49.144
- The seed has to die.
- 00:19:49.144 --> 00:19:50.946
- Otherwise the seed will just be there.
- 00:19:50.946 --> 00:19:53.248
- But it is buried and it dies.
- 00:19:53.248 --> 00:19:55.384
- And while
- 00:19:55.384 --> 00:19:57.452
- There's life
- 00:19:57.786 --> 00:19:59.521
- Totally different from the seed
- 00:19:59.521 --> 00:20:01.390
- For resurrection said, it's a natural thing.
- 00:20:01.390 --> 00:20:04.393
- What kind of body will you have?
- 00:20:05.093 --> 00:20:07.696
- Paul says in verse 40, there are also heavenly bodies
- 00:20:07.696 --> 00:20:11.233
- And earthly bodies,
- 00:20:11.233 --> 00:20:12.868
- But the glory of the
- 00:20:12.868 --> 00:20:14.036
- Heavenly is one, and the glory of the earthy is another.
- 00:20:14.036 --> 00:20:17.506
- There is one glory of the sun, another glory, the moon,
- 00:20:17.506 --> 00:20:20.976
- Another glory, the stars.
- 00:20:20.976 --> 00:20:22.678
- For a star different from star in glory.
- 00:20:22.678 --> 00:20:26.515
- Then verse 42,
- 00:20:26.515 --> 00:20:28.717
- So also is the resurrection of the dead.
- 00:20:28.717 --> 00:20:32.020
- It is sown a perishable body.
- 00:20:32.654 --> 00:20:35.957
- It is raised imperishable body.
- 00:20:35.957 --> 00:20:39.161
- It is sown in dishonor.
- 00:20:39.161 --> 00:20:40.929
- This whole body, yours and mine, it is raised in glory.
- 00:20:40.929 --> 00:20:44.966
- It is sown in weakness.
- 00:20:44.966 --> 00:20:47.469
- It is raised in power.
- 00:20:47.469 --> 00:20:49.071
- It is sown a natural body.
- 00:20:49.071 --> 00:20:50.906
- It is raised a spiritual, a supernatural body.
- 00:20:50.906 --> 00:20:54.242
- If there is a natural body, this one.
- 00:20:54.242 --> 00:20:57.045
- There is also a supernatural, a spiritual body.
- 00:20:57.045 --> 00:21:01.183
- Did you get it?
- 00:21:01.183 --> 00:21:02.751
- It's so clear
- 00:21:03.118 --> 00:21:05.954
- And evidential and obvious.
- 00:21:05.954 --> 00:21:09.024
- I've got a shot for everybody here.
- 00:21:09.024 --> 00:21:12.194
- All of us are going to die.
- 00:21:12.194 --> 00:21:15.263
- I don't care how you take care of this temple.
- 00:21:15.263 --> 00:21:17.866
- And we should.
- 00:21:17.866 --> 00:21:18.767
- How you eat, how many videos you take.
- 00:21:18.767 --> 00:21:20.936
- All the health precautions that you take.
- 00:21:20.936 --> 00:21:23.338
- All of us going to die.
- 00:21:23.338 --> 00:21:24.840
- Every single one here.
- 00:21:24.840 --> 00:21:26.475
- 100% guaranteed.
- 00:21:26.475 --> 00:21:28.243
- Anybody want to debate it?
- 00:21:28.243 --> 00:21:30.545
- It's clear.
- 00:21:30.545 --> 00:21:32.180
- And i'm going to tell you something.
- 00:21:32.180 --> 00:21:34.416
- Resurrection is natural in nature,
- 00:21:34.416 --> 00:21:36.985
- But resurrection is also supernatural.
- 00:21:36.985 --> 00:21:40.021
- Because in jesus christ
- 00:21:40.021 --> 00:21:42.858
- He was given a resurrection body.
- 00:21:43.625 --> 00:21:46.595
- Remember, he just walked through the wall.
- 00:21:47.496 --> 00:21:50.599
- Those who remember him
- 00:21:50.599 --> 00:21:52.300
- Fried fish by the sea of galilee.
- 00:21:52.300 --> 00:21:54.970
- He ate fish. he could be touched.
- 00:21:54.970 --> 00:21:57.706
- It was physical as far as we could determine.
- 00:21:57.706 --> 00:22:00.709
- But also it was supernatural.
- 00:22:00.709 --> 00:22:03.145
- And when we die in the lord jesus christ that you.
- 00:22:03.145 --> 00:22:07.549
- You know that that voice, that essence of who you are
- 00:22:07.549 --> 00:22:11.486
- And who i am, you can call it a soul or a life that remains.
- 00:22:11.486 --> 00:22:16.992
- This old house is deteriorated
- 00:22:16.992 --> 00:22:19.528
- And we get a resurrection body, the prototype of
- 00:22:19.528 --> 00:22:23.432
- Which was the body that jesus had in his resurrection,
- 00:22:23.432 --> 00:22:28.370
- And that supernatural body
- 00:22:28.370 --> 00:22:31.540
- Is equipped to live with god
- 00:22:32.140 --> 00:22:35.110
- In heaven forever.
- 00:22:35.544 --> 00:22:36.745
- People always will.
- 00:22:36.745 --> 00:22:38.146
- I know my family be yes
- 00:22:38.146 --> 00:22:42.784
- And in heaven.
- 00:22:43.118 --> 00:22:44.419
- If we have five senses now,
- 00:22:44.419 --> 00:22:47.622
- We may have 20, 30, 40,000.
- 00:22:47.622 --> 00:22:50.859
- Think about it. we'll have creativity.
- 00:22:50.859 --> 00:22:53.195
- We'll be able to do that.
- 00:22:53.195 --> 00:22:54.429
- What we never been able to do, and even more so in god's
- 00:22:54.429 --> 00:22:58.166
- Divine assignment for us in eternity, with this body
- 00:22:58.166 --> 00:23:02.938
- That is made to live in eternity.
- 00:23:02.938 --> 00:23:06.174
- Christ is risen!
- 00:23:06.575 --> 00:23:09.411
- Hallelujah!
- 00:23:09.744 --> 00:23:12.547
- So it's important that we see
- 00:23:12.547 --> 00:23:14.983
- That resurrection is obvious around us.
- 00:23:14.983 --> 00:23:17.853
- You say, well, you know, i know only jesus.
- 00:23:17.853 --> 00:23:20.222
- Absolutely. that's the evidence.
- 00:23:20.222 --> 00:23:22.424
- He is the first fruit.
- 00:23:22.424 --> 00:23:24.860
- He's the first out of the chute.
- 00:23:24.860 --> 00:23:26.862
- He is the first who leads the easter parade for all of us
- 00:23:26.862 --> 00:23:30.532
- Who are in christ.
- 00:23:30.532 --> 00:23:31.666
- We can be confident that to be absent from this body
- 00:23:31.666 --> 00:23:34.803
- Will be present with the lord in our resurrection body.
- 00:23:34.803 --> 00:23:39.941
- All of you, all of me.
- 00:23:40.408 --> 00:23:43.011
- Redeemed, changed.
- 00:23:43.011 --> 00:23:45.113
- Clean. alive.
- 00:23:45.113 --> 00:23:46.815
- Creative, dynamic.
- 00:23:46.815 --> 00:23:48.717
- Powerful.
- 00:23:48.717 --> 00:23:50.585
- Resurrection is natural.
- 00:23:50.585 --> 00:23:52.587
- Resurrection is supernatural.
- 00:23:52.587 --> 00:23:54.456
- And by the way,
- 00:23:54.456 --> 00:23:56.758
- Resurrection is practical.
- 00:23:56.758 --> 00:23:59.828
- It's very practical.
- 00:23:59.828 --> 00:24:02.497
- And it's right here in the scripture.
- 00:24:02.497 --> 00:24:05.600
- Right in the bible.
- 00:24:05.600 --> 00:24:07.836
- What is paul saying?
- 00:24:07.836 --> 00:24:09.471
- He said this perishable.
- 00:24:09.471 --> 00:24:10.805
- We got that verse
- 00:24:10.805 --> 00:24:12.340
- Put on the imperishable our resurrection body.
- 00:24:12.340 --> 00:24:15.343
- And this mortal must put on immortality.
- 00:24:15.343 --> 00:24:18.079
- Then he says,
- 00:24:18.446 --> 00:24:19.714
- But when this perishable will they put on the imperishable,
- 00:24:19.714 --> 00:24:23.084
- And there's mortal will have put on immortality.
- 00:24:23.084 --> 00:24:26.588
- Then it is written about us saying,
- 00:24:26.588 --> 00:24:29.024
- Here's the phrase death is swallowed up in victory.
- 00:24:29.024 --> 00:24:35.263
- O death, where is your victory?
- 00:24:35.897 --> 00:24:37.632
- O death, where you're staying?
- 00:24:37.632 --> 00:24:39.434
- The sting of death is sin. what happened to sin?
- 00:24:39.434 --> 00:24:41.836
- Jesus took care of our sin on the cross. any.
- 00:24:41.836 --> 00:24:45.106
- And he said, and the power of sin is the law.
- 00:24:45.106 --> 00:24:47.142
- Jesus kept
- 00:24:47.142 --> 00:24:48.243
- The law for us on the cross when he took our place.
- 00:24:48.243 --> 00:24:51.413
- But he said, thanks be to god, who gives us the victory
- 00:24:51.413 --> 00:24:54.983
- Through jesus christ our lord.
- 00:24:54.983 --> 00:24:59.688
- Let me tell you why the resurrection is so
- 00:24:59.688 --> 00:25:01.690
- Practical.
- 00:25:01.690 --> 00:25:03.892
- If the cause, the resurrection,
- 00:25:03.892 --> 00:25:06.728
- Easter
- 00:25:06.728 --> 00:25:08.997
- Kills death,
- 00:25:08.997 --> 00:25:12.000
- Is that practical enough for everybody?
- 00:25:12.000 --> 00:25:14.936
- Easter kills death.
- 00:25:14.936 --> 00:25:21.109
- And death is swallowed up.
- 00:25:21.676 --> 00:25:23.445
- It's eliminated in victory.
- 00:25:23.445 --> 00:25:25.814
- When we graduate to be with the lord in heaven.
- 00:25:25.814 --> 00:25:28.984
- What a beautiful promise.
- 00:25:28.984 --> 00:25:31.386
- What a beautiful truth affirmed
- 00:25:31.386 --> 00:25:34.990
- By the bodily resurrection of jesus christ.
- 00:25:34.990 --> 00:25:38.159
- He led the way.
- 00:25:38.159 --> 00:25:39.127
- He's a drum major, and all of us will follow
- 00:25:39.127 --> 00:25:41.863
- Who are in christ in that easter parade.
- 00:25:41.863 --> 00:25:46.468
- Everybody wants a happy home.
- 00:25:47.102 --> 00:25:50.105
- But let's be honest.
- 00:25:50.105 --> 00:25:51.606
- A happy home doesn't just happen.
- 00:25:51.606 --> 00:25:54.509
- It's built.
- 00:25:54.509 --> 00:25:55.777
