[4176.44 --> 4178.06] To the inexpressible
[4178.06 --> 4179.40] Gift of grace
[4179.40 --> 4180.02] Is going to be coming
[4180.02 --> 4180.86] For us in the future
[4180.86 --> 4181.90] And then he says
[4181.90 --> 4182.70] At the end
[4182.70 --> 4184.58] For we are God's
[4184.58 --> 4185.28] Handiwork
[4185.28 --> 4187.16] Or craftsmanship
[4187.16 --> 4188.26] Or masterpiece
[4188.26 --> 4190.10] Created in Christ Jesus
[4190.10 --> 4191.64] To do good works
[4191.64 --> 4192.94] Which God prepared
[4192.94 --> 4193.56] In advance
[4193.56 --> 4194.66] For us to do
[4194.66 --> 4197.04] One writer says
[4197.04 --> 4197.70] All the good works
[4197.70 --> 4198.26] In the world
[4198.26 --> 4199.42] Cannot put us
[4199.42 --> 4200.18] Right with God
[4200.18 --> 4201.06] But there's something
[4201.06 --> 4202.06] Radically wrong
[4202.06 --> 4202.64] With Christianity
[4202.64 --> 4203.96] That does not result
[4203.96 --> 4205.28] In good deeds
[4205.28 --> 4207.44] And so the question is
[4207.44 --> 4208.26] What does the church do
[4208.26 --> 4209.28] With the resurrection life
[4209.28 --> 4210.16] We have in Christ
[4210.16 --> 4212.34] We give our lives away
[4212.34 --> 4213.22] For the sake of the world
[4213.22 --> 4216.32] We live with radical
[4216.32 --> 4217.66] Open-headed generosity
[4217.66 --> 4219.92] Or as one of my favorite
[4219.92 --> 4220.76] Writers puts it
[4220.76 --> 4221.96] The life of the church
[4221.96 --> 4222.78] Is bending down
[4222.78 --> 4224.14] And washing the feet
[4224.14 --> 4225.14] Of the world
[4225.14 --> 4227.16] It is showing
[4227.16 --> 4228.46] The selflessness of Christ
[4228.46 --> 4229.98] The generosity of Christ
[4229.98 --> 4231.40] The very love of Christ
[4231.40 --> 4232.52] In your workplace
[4232.52 --> 4233.78] In your classroom
[4233.78 --> 4234.98] In your cubicle
[4234.98 --> 4236.04] In your neighborhood
[4236.04 --> 4237.16] In the hallway
[4237.16 --> 4238.14] Of the apartment building
[4238.14 --> 4239.36] All of those places
[4239.36 --> 4240.64] Think about this
[4240.64 --> 4241.34] Those are the places
[4241.34 --> 4242.18] Where God has prepared
[4242.18 --> 4243.86] Good work in advance
[4243.86 --> 4245.24] For you and me to do
[4245.24 --> 4246.28] Isn't that something
[4246.28 --> 4246.78] To think about?
[4247.16 --> 4248.16] There's already good work
[4248.16 --> 4248.94] Waiting for you
[4248.94 --> 4249.48] This week
[4249.48 --> 4250.58] This year
[4250.58 --> 4251.62] And for the rest of your life
[4251.62 --> 4252.64] By God who wants
[4252.64 --> 4253.74] The church to be a source
[4253.74 --> 4254.86] Of blessing
[4254.86 --> 4256.54] And as they bless
[4256.54 --> 4257.62] And serve and love
[4257.62 --> 4258.64] They demonstrate
[4258.64 --> 4260.46] The life that is to come
[4260.46 --> 4261.62] Because of Jesus' resurrection
[4261.62 --> 4264.98] Let me finish with this
[4264.98 --> 4268.32] From the time of Jesus' resurrection
[4268.32 --> 4270.32] There have been many people
[4270.32 --> 4270.70] To say
[4270.70 --> 4272.10] This is just not possible
[4272.10 --> 4273.30] Like this
[4273.30 --> 4274.12] It can't happen
[4274.12 --> 4276.16] It can't be proved
[4276.16 --> 4277.60] It's too unique
[4277.60 --> 4278.84] And there have been many people
[4278.84 --> 4279.90] Who either privately
[4279.90 --> 4280.46] Or publicly
[4280.46 --> 4281.18] We would say to Christians
[4281.18 --> 4282.14] This is insane
[4282.14 --> 4282.96] What you're talking about
[4282.96 --> 4284.48] That a person went to the grave
[4284.48 --> 4285.52] Was buried in a tomb
[4285.52 --> 4287.02] And then rose out of that
[4287.02 --> 4287.88] That's just crazy
[4287.88 --> 4290.74] And for many many generations now
[4290.74 --> 4291.40] There have been people
[4291.40 --> 4292.76] Called apologists
[4292.76 --> 4293.72] Maybe you've heard of this word
[4293.72 --> 4295.08] They defend the faith
[4295.08 --> 4296.02] And you can look online
[4296.02 --> 4297.14] There's tons of people online
[4297.14 --> 4298.10] Who are constantly making
[4298.10 --> 4299.04] Good arguments
[4299.04 --> 4300.52] For why people believe in Jesus
[4300.52 --> 4302.30] Good arguments for the resurrection
