[3220.00 --> 3221.48] but the implication there is, |
[3222.00 --> 3224.06] now we just don't know. |
[3224.06 --> 3227.34] Verse 37, |
[3227.50 --> 3229.42] Jesus appears to his disciples later. |
[3229.78 --> 3231.04] They were startled and frightened |
[3231.04 --> 3232.50] thinking they saw a ghost. |
[3234.30 --> 3235.62] Belief can be hard |
[3235.62 --> 3238.30] because this isn't ordinary |
[3238.30 --> 3241.22] in our experience of life. |
[3241.42 --> 3243.10] What we are talking about here |
[3243.10 --> 3245.08] is hard and extraordinary |
[3245.08 --> 3246.18] and for many of us, |
[3246.24 --> 3247.44] it defies logic |
[3247.44 --> 3248.44] or at least it defies |
[3248.44 --> 3250.86] our ordinary experience of reality. |
[3250.86 --> 3255.34] Can I let you in on an open secret? |
[3257.02 --> 3259.02] That's been Jesus all along. |
[3260.06 --> 3261.60] Since the very beginning, |
[3262.28 --> 3263.86] Jesus has defied |
[3263.86 --> 3265.80] our ordinary experience of reality. |
[3266.14 --> 3267.96] In the story of his incarnation, |
[3268.70 --> 3270.10] you have this virgin woman |
[3270.10 --> 3273.54] who is become pregnant with child |
[3273.54 --> 3276.34] and she bears the son of God. |
[3277.04 --> 3278.38] You have God-man, |
[3278.38 --> 3279.66] fully human, |
[3280.10 --> 3280.74] fully God |
[3280.74 --> 3283.34] in one person |
[3283.34 --> 3285.16] we call Jesus. |
[3286.20 --> 3287.48] And if we have a God-man |
[3287.48 --> 3288.48] who comes into the world, |
[3288.58 --> 3289.24] that also means |
[3289.24 --> 3290.74] we need a Savior |
[3290.74 --> 3292.52] to save us from ourselves. |
[3293.40 --> 3294.68] But not just the incarnation, |
[3294.98 --> 3296.02] not just the beginning of the story, |
[3296.10 --> 3296.66] all throughout |
[3296.66 --> 3298.16] has been beyond |
[3298.16 --> 3299.86] our ordinary experience of reality. |
[3299.96 --> 3301.06] Even Jesus' teaching |
[3301.06 --> 3302.16] can be hard. |
[3302.70 --> 3304.32] Jesus says things like, |
[3304.32 --> 3306.06] if you want to gain your life, |
[3306.16 --> 3307.10] you must lose it. |
[3307.10 --> 3309.16] Jesus says things like, |
[3309.46 --> 3310.24] blessed are the poor. |
[3312.12 --> 3312.74] Blessed are you |
[3312.74 --> 3314.00] when people insult you |
[3314.00 --> 3315.12] and persecute you |
[3315.12 --> 3316.22] and falsely say |
[3316.22 --> 3317.12] all kinds of evil |
[3317.12 --> 3317.68] against you |
[3317.68 --> 3318.36] because of me. |
[3319.04 --> 3320.14] Jesus tells us |
[3320.14 --> 3322.26] to love our enemies. |
[3323.82 --> 3326.42] Jesus says something like, |
[3326.68 --> 3328.12] if your right eye |
[3328.12 --> 3329.40] causes you to sin, |
[3330.08 --> 3330.82] gouge it out. |
[3330.82 --> 3332.08] He says, |
[3332.18 --> 3333.48] if you want to be perfect, |
[3333.62 --> 3335.22] go and sell all your possessions |
[3335.22 --> 3336.08] and give to the poor |
[3336.08 --> 3336.94] and then you will have |
[3336.94 --> 3338.26] treasures in heaven. |
[3338.94 --> 3340.36] Then come and follow me. |
[3341.30 --> 3342.20] And what Jesus teaches |
[3342.20 --> 3342.82] in his life |
[3342.82 --> 3344.54] is that radical obedience |
[3344.54 --> 3345.88] to God, |
[3345.98 --> 3346.58] to him, |
[3346.66 --> 3347.58] is life. |
[3347.66 --> 3349.00] And that's counterintuitive |
[3349.00 --> 3350.06] in our culture. |
[3350.60 --> 3351.58] That doesn't make sense |
[3351.58 --> 3352.42] to us. |
[3352.52 --> 3354.06] And then finally now, |
[3355.18 --> 3356.38] the story of the resurrection. |
[3356.38 --> 3361.08] On the first day of the week, |
[3361.80 --> 3363.06] very early in the morning, |
[3363.88 --> 3365.10] the women took the spices |
[3365.10 --> 3365.86] they had prepared |
[3365.86 --> 3366.68] and went to the tomb. |
[3368.04 --> 3369.34] They found the stone |
[3369.34 --> 3370.62] rolled away from the tomb. |
[3371.12 --> 3371.80] But when they entered, |
[3371.90 --> 3372.92] they did not find the body |
[3372.92 --> 3373.70] of the Lord Jesus. |
[3374.74 --> 3375.72] And while they were wondering |
[3375.72 --> 3376.32] about this, |
[3376.40 --> 3377.78] suddenly two men in clothes |
[3377.78 --> 3379.02] that gleamed like lightning |
[3379.02 --> 3380.00] stood beside them. |
[3380.16 --> 3381.12] And in their fright, |
[3381.20 --> 3382.02] the women bowed |
[3382.02 --> 3383.60] with their faces to the ground. |
[3383.60 --> 3384.68] But the men said to them, |
[3384.98 --> 3386.68] Why do you look for the living |
[3386.68 --> 3387.78] among the dead? |
[3387.86 --> 3388.92] He is not here. |
