[4302.30 --> 4303.26] And all the rest |
[4303.26 --> 4304.66] But what struck me |
[4304.66 --> 4305.64] A number of years ago |
[4305.64 --> 4306.82] In reading about the early church |
[4306.82 --> 4308.08] Is that they also had defenders |
[4308.08 --> 4309.18] Of the faith back then |
[4309.18 --> 4310.90] But some of their arguments |
[4310.90 --> 4312.08] Were painfully basic |
[4312.08 --> 4313.08] And even convicting |
[4313.08 --> 4314.66] People would come to |
[4314.66 --> 4315.74] Early church apologists |
[4315.74 --> 4316.92] In the first and second century |
[4316.92 --> 4317.24] And they'd say |
[4317.24 --> 4318.20] This can't be possible |
[4318.20 --> 4320.02] The resurrection could not have happened |
[4320.02 --> 4321.56] And you know what their defense was? |
[4322.36 --> 4323.14] This is crazy |
[4323.14 --> 4323.84] It's so simple |
[4323.84 --> 4324.20] They said |
[4324.20 --> 4324.72] You know what? |
[4325.30 --> 4326.62] Go find a church |
[4326.62 --> 4329.28] Go hang out with those believers |
[4329.28 --> 4331.90] And you will witness |
[4331.90 --> 4333.66] The life of the resurrection |
[4333.66 --> 4334.62] Of Jesus Christ |
[4334.62 --> 4336.06] In believers' lives |
[4336.06 --> 4338.78] What a defense, hey? |
[4340.24 --> 4341.26] That invites the church |
[4341.26 --> 4342.84] To live in the resurrection of Jesus |
[4342.84 --> 4344.32] If you don't believe |
[4344.32 --> 4344.74] In the resurrection |
[4344.74 --> 4346.10] Go find yourself a church |
[4346.10 --> 4347.40] Live within them for a while |
[4347.40 --> 4348.14] And what you'll see is |
[4348.14 --> 4349.64] Yes, the brokenness of the world |
[4349.64 --> 4351.30] You will see all sorts of pain |
[4351.30 --> 4352.58] That everyone shares |
[4352.58 --> 4353.76] All sorts of stuff |
[4353.76 --> 4354.94] All the hypocrisy of the church |
[4354.94 --> 4355.88] It's true, by the way |
[4355.88 --> 4356.52] If you're visiting |
[4356.52 --> 4357.38] It's all true |
[4357.38 --> 4359.16] But you will also see |
[4359.16 --> 4361.46] Some of the most beautiful generosity |
[4361.46 --> 4364.64] Some of the most beautiful selflessness |
[4364.64 --> 4368.02] You will see the most kind-hearted people |
[4368.02 --> 4369.28] Serving one another |
[4369.28 --> 4370.64] Seeking to serve the city |
[4370.64 --> 4372.36] In small ways |
[4372.36 --> 4374.22] Showing the life of the resurrection |
[4374.22 --> 4377.22] And I want to say |
[4377.22 --> 4378.16] Church of Jesus Christ |
[4378.16 --> 4379.04] The work is finished |
[4379.04 --> 4382.02] Jesus went to the tomb |
[4382.02 --> 4384.44] He defeated our enemies |
[4384.44 --> 4386.86] And He rose |
[4386.86 --> 4388.16] From the dead |
[4388.16 --> 4390.72] And His resurrection life |
[4390.72 --> 4393.52] One day |
[4393.52 --> 4394.82] Is going to fill the earth |
[4394.82 --> 4396.70] And we will share in that |
[4396.70 --> 4397.74] By faith in Jesus |
[4397.74 --> 4398.80] Forever |
[4398.80 --> 4400.46] And ever |
[4400.46 --> 4402.32] And ever |
[4402.32 --> 4403.98] Because of His |
[4403.98 --> 4405.94] Inexpressible kindness |
[4405.94 --> 4407.12] To us |
[4407.12 --> 4409.44] But that resurrection life |
[4409.44 --> 4410.94] Is also here in the present |
[4410.94 --> 4413.26] And we are invited |
[4413.26 --> 4414.38] To put it on display |
[4414.38 --> 4415.88] In our ordinary lives |
[4415.88 --> 4417.36] Through the grace |
[4417.36 --> 4418.06] And the power |
[4418.06 --> 4418.60] And the love |
[4418.60 --> 4419.76] That Jesus gives us |
[4419.76 --> 4421.38] Would you join me in prayer? |
[4426.46 --> 4427.58] Father, we thank You |
[4427.58 --> 4428.60] For Jesus Christ |
[4428.60 --> 4430.14] We thank You |
[4430.14 --> 4431.26] For sending Your Son |
[4431.26 --> 4433.22] To defeat Satan |
[4433.22 --> 4434.30] And sin |
[4434.30 --> 4435.26] And death |
[4435.26 --> 4437.52] We pray that You |
[4437.52 --> 4438.84] Would give us the faith |
[4438.84 --> 4441.04] To live day by day |
[4441.04 --> 4442.82] In light of this reality |
[4442.82 --> 4444.58] We pray that You |
[4444.58 --> 4445.62] Give us the humility |
[4445.62 --> 4446.58] To receive |
[4446.58 --> 4448.34] The gift of salvation |
[4448.34 --> 4450.24] And we pray Lord |
[4450.24 --> 4450.96] That You give us |
[4450.96 --> 4452.18] The strength this week |
[4452.18 --> 4453.02] And this year |
[4453.02 --> 4454.80] To live |
[4454.80 --> 4455.82] In the life |
[4455.82 --> 4456.78] Of the resurrection |
