• 00:50 [ woman gasping ]
• 00:56 WOMAN, WHY ARE YOU WEEPING?
• 00:58 IS THIS NOT THE THIRD DAY?
• 01:00 HE HAS RISEN.
• 01:01 GO, TELL HIS DISCIPLES AND PETER THAT HE WILL MEET THEM
• 01:05 IN GALILEE JUST AS HE SAID.
• 01:17 IN THE BOOK OF JOHN IT'S WRITTEN
• 01:18 IN THE PLACE WHERE HE WAS CRUCIFIED THERE WAS A GARDEN.
• 01:23 AND IN THE GARDEN, THERE WAS A TOMB WHICH WAS NEVER USED.
• 01:28 NO MAN WAS EVER LAID THERE.
• 01:31 I'M WALKING ALONG BETWEEN THAT HILL OF CRUCIFIXION, GOLGOTHA,
• 01:36 THE PLACE OF THE ROCK THAT LOOKS LIKE A SKULL
• 01:39 AND THE GARDEN TOMB, THE BEAUTIFUL GARDEN
• 01:41 IN WHICH THERE IS AN EMPTY TOMB.
• 01:43 ALL OF THIS WAS A HARD MOMENT FOR THE DISCIPLES.
• 01:47 THE MASTER HAD REALLY BEEN CRUCIFIED AND HE WAS DEAD.
• 01:52 AND HE WAS BURIED.
• 01:54 SEALED IN A TOMB WITH A STONE.
• 01:58 AND YOU KNOW, FOR THREE DAYS, THEY REALLY DESPAIRED.
• 02:02 HE TOLD THEM HE WAS GOING TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR THEM.
• 02:06 AND HOW COULD HE DO THAT?
• 02:07 HE WAS UNABLE TO GET OUT OF THE GROUND.
• 02:10 THEY JUST DIDN'T ANTICIPATE THE MIRACLE THAT WAS TO COME.
• 02:19 [ music playing softly ]
• 02:34 NOW, I'M IN THE EMPTY TOMB OF OUR LORD.
• 02:40 THERE'S ROOM HERE FOR TWO BODIES.
• 02:42 THIS WAS A RICH MAN'S TOMB.
• 02:47 ON THE DOOR IT SAYS: HE IS RISEN, HE IS NOT HERE.
• 02:52 THAT'S MARK 16:6 -- SO THAT WHEN THE PEOPLE COME,
• 02:56 THEY'LL UNDERSTAND WHY IT IS EMPTY.
• 02:59 ALL OF OUR TOMBS SOME DAY WILL BE EMPTY.
• 03:04 IT'S A VERY HEARTENING THOUGHT
• 03:05 AND ALMOST THE WHOLE POINT OF OUR FAITH.
• 03:09 OUR RESURRECTION IS WHAT >>WE'RE CONCERNED WITH NATURALLY,
• 03:15 THAT IS OUR GREAT HOPE.
• 03:16 THAT'S WHERE OUR HEARTS ARE.
• 03:18 IN JOHN 14, THE LORD SAID:
• 03:20 "I GO TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU."
• 03:22 WHEN WE WERE IN THE UPPER ROOM, >>WE CONSIDERED THAT VERSE.
• 03:27 HE SAYS SO THAT I'LL COME BACK AND TAKE YOU THERE AND YOU CAN >>BE WHERE I AM.
• 03:34 AND AS WE -- AS WE CONTEMPLATE THAT,
• 03:37 WE HAVE TO REMEMBER IN CHRISTIANITY THAT JUST ISN'T THE ONLY LIFE.
• 03:44 HE'S COMING TO GET US.
• 03:45 AND INDEED, HE DID AS HE SAID IN ACTS 1:9-11.
• 03:51 OF COURSE, AFTER HIS RESURRECTION HE WAS WITH HIS
• 03:54 DISCIPLES ON MANY OCCASIONS AND HE TAUGHT THEM THE THINGS
• 03:59 OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD, ACTS 1:3.
• 04:01 THOSE THINGS WERE IN THE OLD TESTAMENT.
• 04:04 THAT'S ALL HE HAD WAS THE OLD TESTAMENT.
• 04:06 AND THAT'S WHAT I OFTEN REFER TO
• 04:08 AS THE LORD'S 40-DAY BIBLE SCHOOL
• 04:11 WHEN HE SOMEHOW TAUGHT THEM SO WELL THAT THEY
• 04:15 WENT ON TO BECOME SPIRITUAL GIANTS,
• 04:18 ABLE TO QUOTE THE SCRIPTURE LIKE PETER AT PENTECOST
• 04:20 AND BACK TO THE PROPHET JOEL AND THE PSALMS ON THE MINUTE, ON THE SCENE OF A MIRACLE.
• 04:28 I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO >>HAVE GONE TO THAT BIBLE SCHOOL.
• 04:30 AND THEY ASKED HIM IF HE WAS AT THAT TIME RESTORE THE >>KINGDOM OF HEAVEN UNTO ISRAEL.
• 04:36 AND HE SAYS, >>"IT IS NOT FOR YOU TO KNOW THE TIMES AND SEASONS OF MY FATHER."
• 04:42 IT WAS STILL NOT QUITE CLEAR
• 04:43 THAT HE WAS REALLY GOING TO LEAVE, SEND THE HOLY SPIRIT,
• 04:48 BE AWAY A TIME AND THEN COME BACK FOR THEM.
• 04:52 AND THEY COULDN'T HAVE ESTIMATED EVEN HOW LONG HE WOULD BE AWAY
• 04:56 AND NEITHER CAN WE.
• 04:58 BUT AT LENGTH, HE GAVE THEM THE GREAT COMMISSION,
• 05:02 TO GO AND MAKE DISCIPLES, TO BE HIS WITNESSES.
• 05:26 HE DID LEAVE AS HE SAID HE WOULD LEAVE.
• 05:49 HE'S COMING BACK THE WAY HE LEFT.
• 05:51 HE LEFT GOING UP TO HEAVEN.
• 05:52 HE'LL RETURN COMING BACK FROM HEAVEN.
• 05:54 AND THIS SAME JESUS, IT'S >>IMPORTANT WHEN REFUTING A CULT,
• 05:59 ANY CULT THAT TEACHES THERE IS >>ANOTHER CHRIST THAT'S COMING, AND THERE ARE SOME.
• 06:04 IT IS NOT THE SAME JESUS OF NAZARETH,
• 06:06 IT IS SOMEONE ELSE.
• 06:08 IT IS AN AMERICAN OR KOREAN.
• 06:09 IT IS SOMEBODY DIFFERENT
• 06:11 THAN THE ORIGINAL.
• 06:13 IT SAYS "THIS SAME CHRIST."
• 06:16 AND AFTER HE LEFT, THE HOLY SPIRIT CAME.
• 06:20 THE APOSTLES WERE INSPIRED TO WRITE
• 06:22 AND THEY WROTE AGAIN OF OUR RESURRECTION.
• 06:24 AND MOST CLEARLY IN >>I CORINTHIANS 15:22, PAUL WROTE,
• 06:28 "IN ADAM WE'LL ALL DIE, BUT IN CHRIST, WE'LL ALL BE ALIVE AGAIN.
• 06:35 "BUT CHRIST THE FIRST FRUITS.
• 06:36 "AND THEN WE WHICH ARE HIS WHEN HE COMES."
• 06:40 AND IN I CORINTHIANS 15:51,
• 06:43 "WE SHALL NOT ALL SLEEP, BUT WE SHALL ALL BE CHANGED
• 06:47 "AT THE SOUND OF THE LAST TRUMPET,
• 06:49 "IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE.
• 06:50 "THIS MORTAL BODY MUST PUT ON IMMORTALITY.
• 06:53 "THIS CORRUPTIBLE FLESH MUST PUT ON INCORRUPTION.
• 06:56 "AND SO DEATH AND THE GRAVE, NO VICTORY, NO STING FOR US."
• 07:04 IN I THESSALONIANS 4:16, A PASSAGE SO OFTEN QUOTED OF THE RAPTURE.
• 07:08 "THE LORD HIMSELF WILL DESCEND >>FROM HEAVEN WITH A SHOUT,
• 07:11 "WITH THE VOICE OF THE ARCHANGEL,
• 07:13 "WITH THE SOUND OF THE TRUMP OF GOD AND THE DEAD IN CHRIST SHALL
• 07:16 "RISE FIRST AND THEN WE WHICH ARE ALIVE AND REMAIN."
• 07:19 AND SO FINALLY, WE ALL WILL BE >>RESURRECTED JUST AS HE WAS.
• 07:24 AND IF WE HAVE A TOMB LIKE >>THIS ONE OR A VERY SIMPLE ONE,
• 07:30 IT WILL ONE DAY BE EMPTY, JUST AS THIS ONE IS.
• 07:36 [ music playing ]
• 07:48 [ music playing ]
• 07:54 [ speaking Hebrew ] "YOU ARE LOVELY ISRAEL."
• 07:59 [ speaking Hebrew ] >>"YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN MY LOVE."
• 08:11 [ speaking Hebrew ] "YES, I'VE LOVED YOU ISRAEL."
• 08:16 [ speaking Hebrew ] "AS HE LOVES YOU FROM ABOVE."
• 08:25 THE LAND OF ISRAEL,
• 08:25 ISRAEL, MY LOVE, IS LIKE NO OTHER LAND IN THE WORLD.
• 08:29 WE ARE BOUND FOR THE PROMISED LAND.
• 08:31 WE ARE GOING BACK TO ISRAEL >>AND THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE JOINED
• 08:33 US ON PAST TOURS SAY IT IS AN EXPERIENCE THEY WILL TREASURE
• 08:37 FOR THE REST OF THEIR DAYS.
• 08:40 I THINK EVERY CHRISTIAN NEEDS TO COME HERE AND JUST SENSE
• 08:43 THE SAME THINGS THAT I GUESS ALL OF THEM HAVE FELT GOING BEFORE US.
• 08:48 YOU HEARD IT SAID YOUR WHOLE >>LIFE WILL BE CHANGED IF YOU COME
• 08:50 TO THE HOLY LAND AND YOU CAN RELATE TO WHERE JESUS WAS
• 08:54 IN THE TEMPLE AND ALL OF THE GREAT MIGHTY THINGS HE DID.
• 08:57 AND I CAN NOW JOIN THEM AND SAY EVERYONE NEEDS
• 09:01 TO COME TO THE HOLY LAND.
• 09:02 WELL, IT IS ONE THING TO READ THE WORDS AND THEN TO BE ABLE
• 09:05 TO LOOK OUT HERE AND SAY >>JESUS WALKED ACROSS THIS LAND.
• 09:09 AND IT BRINGS IT ALL TO SENSE THAT IT REALLY HAPPENED.
• 09:16 THIS IS MY SECOND TOUR WITH ZOLA.
• 09:17 THE FIRST WAS IN THE JUNE OF 1984 AND WAS A BEAUTIFUL TOUR.
• 09:22 IT WAS SO LOVELY AND I LOVE ISRAEL SO MUCH I HAD TO COME
• 09:25 BACK AND SEE IT AGAIN AND LIVE IT AGAIN.
• 09:31 COME WITH US TO ISRAEL AND WALK WHERE JESUS WALKED.
• 09:34 LET US BREAK BREAD TOGETHER IN JERUSALEM.
• 09:37 I'VE TRAVELED THROUGH ISRAEL DOZENS OF TIME.
• 09:39 BELIEVE ME, IT IS THE MOST EXCITING AND SPIRITUALLY
• 09:42 SATISFYING JOURNEY YOU CAN EVER TAKE IN THIS LIFE.
• 09:49 WHEN WE SEE THE GARDEN TOMB, WE NATURALLY THINK OF THE
• 09:51 RESURRECTION AND CERTAINLY THE JEWISH PEOPLE DID, AND THEY STILL DO.
• 09:55 SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT THE RESURRECTION ISN'T EXPLAINED
• 09:58 THE OLD TESTAMENT OR REFERRED TO, BUT CERTAINLY IT IS.
• 10:02 THE BOOK OF JOB IS ONE >>MUCH MY FAVORITE PLACES BECAUSE
• 10:06 OF THE VERY DIFFICULT LIFE THAT JOB LIVED.
• 10:09 HE STILL HAD FAITH IN A RESURRECTION.
• 10:12 IF WE LOOK IN JOB 14:11, IT SAYS:
• 10:15 AS THE WATERS PALE FROM THE SEA AND THE FLOOD DECAYETH
• 10:20 AND DRIETH UP, SO MEN LIETH DOWN AND RISETH NOT
• 10:24 UNTIL THE HEAVENS SHALL BE NO MORE.
• 10:25 THEY SHALL NOT AWAKE OR BE RAISED OUT OF THEIR SLEEP.
• 10:29 THAT'S AN EARTHLY VIEW OF DEATH.
• 10:31 BUT THEN JOB SAYS.
• 11:00 HE SAYS TO GOD, YOU'LL HAVE A DESIRE
• 11:02 FOR THE WORK OF YOUR HANDS WHICH IS TO SAY THAT JOB STRUCTURED HIS BODY.
• 11:07 AND HE COMES FINALLY TO >>SAYING AND WE QUOTE IT SO MUCH.
• 11:10 "FOR I KNOW THAT MY REDEEMER LIVETH,
• 11:14 "AND IN MY FLESH, WILL I SEE GOD."
• 11:17 AND THIS IS, OF COURSE, A VERY CLEAR OLD TESTAMENT
• 11:20 REFERENCE TO THE RESURRECTION GOING BACK 4000 YEARS TO THE LIFE OF JOB.
• 11:27 AND THEN IN THE BOOK OF DANIEL, >>IN DANIEL 12:2-3.
• 11:32 THE ANGEL COMES TO DANIEL AND TALKS ABOUT THE TIME
• 11:35 OF TRIBULATION AND THE DESTINY OF DANIEL'S PEOPLE.
• 11:40 AND SOME WILL BE RAISED,
• 11:41 AND SOME LOWERED TO >>EVERLASTING SHAME AND CONTEMPT.
• 11:43 THERE DEFINITELY IS >>ANOTHER LIFE AND A PLACE TO GO.
• 11:47 AND FINALLY, OF COURSE, IN THE NEW TESTAMENT,
• 11:50 WE GET VERY CLEAR REFERENCE
• 11:53 IN THE STORY OF THE LORD'S RESURRECTION.
• 11:56 AND PASSOVER HAS IN IT THE LORD'S OWN REFERENCE IN A VERY SUBTLE WAY.
• 12:03 WHEN HE TAKES THE BREAD, MATTHEW 26:26.
• 12:07 THERE ARE THREE PIECES OF BREAD ON THE TABLE
• 12:10 AND THE MIDDLE ONE IS TAKEN OUT.
• 12:11 AND BROKEN AND HIDDEN AND BROUGHT FORTH AGAIN AT THE THIRD CUP.
• 12:15 IT IS STRIPED, IT IS PIERCED, IT IS PURE.
• 12:18 VERY MUCH A PICTURE OF OUR LORD.
• 12:20 AND WHEN HE ACTUALLY GAVE THE BLESSING OVER THE BREAD,
• 12:25 WE LEARNED SOMETHING MARVELOUS IN THAT VERSE.
• 12:28 AND IT SAYS AS THEY WERE EATING,
• 12:29 HE TOOK BREAD, BLESSED IT AND BROKE IT,
• 12:33 AND SAID, "TAKE, EAT, THIS IS MY BODY."
• 12:38 IT IS IN THE BLESSING THAT WE HEAR IN THE SECRET OF THE RESURRECTION.
• 12:42 THE BLESSING OVER BREAD WAS AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN.
• 12:46 [ speaking Hebrew ]
• 12:50 "BLESSED ART THOU, O LORD OUR GOD,
• 12:52 "KING OF THE UNIVERSE WHO BRINGETH FORTH
• 12:55 "BREAD FROM THE EARTH."
• 12:56 WHO BRINGEST FORTH BREAD FROM THE EARTH.
• 12:58 HE HAD JUST GOTTEN THIS BREAD FROM UNDER THE TABLE,
• 13:01 FROM THE FLOOR WHERE IT HAD BEEN WRAPPED IN WHITE LINEN
• 13:04 AND HE PRAISES GOD FOR BRINGING >>FORTH BREAD FROM THE EARTH.
• 13:08 AS IF TO SAY, MEN IF THEY TRY TO BURY MY BODY IN THE EARTH THIS
• 13:12 WEEK IT WILL JUST COME UP AGAIN.
• 13:16 YOU CAN'T BURY A KERNEL OF WHEAT, SOMETHING RISES UP.
• 13:20 SOMETHING COMES UP OUT OF THE GROUND.
• 13:22 YOU CAN'T PERMANENTLY BURY ANY CHRISTIAN.
• 13:26 WELL, THE LORD'S BODY THEN IS THIS PIECE OF BREAD.
• 13:31 HE SAID, "THIS BREAD IS MY BODY."
• 13:32 HE WAS BURIED ON THE FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD.
• 13:36 SO MUCH REFERENCE TO RESURRECTION.
• 13:38 THE IMPORTANT THING IS WHEN WE EAT THIS BREAD,
• 13:42 WHY THEN, WE'LL RISE.
• 13:44 IT IS SO LIKE GOD TO USE THE FLAT BREAD, UNLEAVENED,
• 13:47 SO THAT IT WON'T RISE AND WE EAT IT, MAYBE WE'LL RISE.
• 13:51 HE DELIGHTS IN USING THE THING THAT SUPPOSEDLY WILL NOT WORK.
• 13:57 IN THE BOOK OF MATTHEW,
• 13:58 WE HAVE THE STORY OF THE RESURRECTION ITSELF.
• 14:03 MATTHEW 28, THE EVENTS.
• 14:13 THEY CAME RIGHT HERE.
• 15:02 IN THE SAME CHAPTER, LATER ON, THE LORD ACTUALLY DOES COME
• 15:07 TO HIS DISCIPLES IN GALILEE.
• 15:09 HE APPEARS TO THEM SEVERAL TIMES.
• 15:11 HE WAS WITH THEM 40 DAYS IN ALL.
• 15:14 AND HE WAS SEEN BY MANY PEOPLE.
• 15:15 AND FINALLY GIVES THE ULTIMATE INSTRUCTION,
• 15:18 THE UNIVERSAL GIFT, THE GREAT COMMISSION.
• 15:41 HOW GOOD IT WILL BE TO BE WITH HIM.
• 15:45 WE ARE SITUATED IN AN AUTHENTIC ROLLING TOMB
• 15:47 OF THE FIRST CENTURY.
• 15:48 THIS IS EXACTLY THE SAME KIND OF TOMB THAT JESUS WAS BURIED
• 15:51 IN ALMOST 2000 YEARS AGO.
• 15:53 SEVERAL TOMBS OF THIS TYPE ARE >>KNOWN THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY
• 15:57 INCLUDING JERUSALEM WHERE TODAY
• 15:58 VISITORS CAN SEE HEROD'S FAMILY TOMB.
• 16:01 THIS PARTICULAR SITE IS LOCATED >>IN THE SHEPHELAH REGION OF ISRAEL,
• 16:07 ABOUT 20 MILES SOUTHWEST OF JERUSALEM.
• 16:09 THIS TOMB IS HEWED RIGHT OUT OF THE SOLID ROCK.
• 16:13 TO GAIN ENTRANCE INTO THE TOMB,
• 16:14 ONE PASSES BY MEANS OF THE LOW DOORWAY.
• 16:17 AND YOU RECALL THAT IN THE GOSPELS,
• 16:19 MARY MAGDALENE HAD TO BEND DOWN >>AND PEEK THROUGH THE DOOR
• 16:22 IN ORDER TO SEE INTO THE TOMB.
• 16:24 THIS DOOR IS SEALED BY >>MEANS OF A LARGE ROLLING STONE.
• 16:28 ONCE YOU COME INTO THE TOMB THERE ARE TWO ROOMS.
• 16:31 AND ONE PASSES INTO AN INNER ROOM WHERE THE BODY WAS LAID
• 16:35 AND ALLOW TO DECAY FOR THE PERIOD OF ABOUT ONE YEAR.
• 16:39 LATER, THE BONES WERE COLLECTED
• 16:40 AND TRANSFERRED TO THE FIRST >>ROOM WHERE WE HAVE THESE CHANNEL
• 16:44 WHERE THE BONE BOXES OR OSSUARY >>WERE PLACED AND IN THIS WAY,
• 16:49 MANY, MANY GENERATIONS OF PEOPLE WERE BURIED.
• 16:54 HERE ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES AND NEARBY BETHANY,
• 16:57 ARCHAEOLOGIST HAVE >>UNCOVERED SOME VERY INTERESTING
• 16:59 STONE COFFINS OR OSSUARY.
• 17:02 SOME OF THESE BOXES BEAR THE >>SIGN OF THE CROSS WHILE OTHERS
• 17:05 HAVE HEBREW INSCRIPTIONS THAT SAY, TO JESUS, SON OF JOSEPH.
• 17:11 AND TO JESUS, THE LORD.
• 17:13 INSCRIPTIONS BEARING THE NAMES >>OF LAZARUS, MARTHA AND MARY
• 17:16 WERE ALSO FOUND FOLLOWED BY THE CROSS MARK.
• 17:19 ARCHAEOLOGIST CLERMONT-GANNEAU, WHO UNEARTHED THE BETHANY SITE, >>SAID:
• 17:33 THE BODY WAS FIRST WASHED AND ANOINTED WITH SPICES AND PERFUMES.
• 17:38 SINCE THERE WAS NO EMBALMING OF >>THE BODY, DECAY WAS IMMINENT.
• 17:41 AND SPICES AND PERFUME HELPED TO COUNTERACT THE ROTTING SMELL OF >>THE CORPSE.
• 17:46 AFTER COATING THE BODY WITH SPICES AND PERFUMES,
• 17:50 THE BODY WAS WRAPPED WITH LINEN CLOTHS.
• 17:54 NOW, THIS WAS BASED ON A RULING MADE BY THE RABBI
• 17:58 IN THE FIRST CENTURY THAT THE BODY SHOULD BE
• 18:01 WRAPPED IN WHITE CLOTHS.
• 18:02 YOU SEE THIS PRACTICE CARRIED OUT IN THE CASE OF BOTH LAZARUS AND JESUS.
• 18:18 AFTER THE BODY HAD BEEN PREPARED,
• 18:19 MALE RELATIVES CARRIED IT >>WITH A WOMAN CARRYING PERFUME, >>WALKING IN FRONT.
• 18:27 DEATH IN JESUS' DAY WAS NOT A HUSHED-UP AFFAIR.
• 18:30 THERE WAS MUCH WAILING AND TEARING OF CLOTHES.
• 18:37 [ music playing ]
• 18:45 ONCE THE BODY ARRIVED AT THE TOMB,
• 18:46 THE MALE RELATIVES CARRIED THE >>BODY THROUGHOUT MAIN ENTRANCE
• 18:50 WHERE THE ROLLING STONE HAD BEEN ROLLED BACK
• 18:53 AND PASS DIRECTLY INTO THE INNER ROOM,
• 18:55 THE SECOND ROOM WHERE THE BODY >>WAS PLACED ON A BURIAL BENCH.
• 19:04 ONCE THE BODY WAS IN PLACE, PERFUME WOULD BE POURED ON THE LINEN CLOTHS.
• 19:10 AND THEY WOULD THEN LEAVE THE TOMB AND ROLL THE STONE
• 19:13 IN PLACE AND SEAL THE TOMB AND ALLOW THE BODY TO DECAY.
• 19:20 THIS IS THE ONE >>THAT CLAIMS TO BE THE MESSIAH.
• 19:23 I BELIEVE HE WAS TEACHING IN THE TEMPLE.
• 19:25 WHAT DOES HE DO?
• 19:27 I DON'T KNOW.
• 19:28 HOPEFULLY THIS WILL QUIET THE PEOPLE.
• 19:30 YES, IT SHOULD PUT >>AN END TO ALL OF THIS TALK.

• 24:01 TOM, YOU KNOW, MOST PEOPLE'S IDEA OF THE CRUCIFIXION
• 24:04 IS WHAT THEY GET FROM THE GREAT PAINTINGS.
• 24:07 THIS BEEN PAINTED MAYBE MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE.
• 24:10 YOU HAVE SO MANY VERSIONS OF WHAT THE CRUCIFIXION LOOKED LIKE
• 24:15 AND MANY OF THEM ARE NOT REALLY BASED ON BIBLICAL EVIDENCES.
• 24:18 BUT YOU HAVE VERY FEW OF THE PAINTINGS THAT WE SEE OF CHRIST ON THE CROSS
• 24:25 REALLY LOOK LIKE HE'S JEWISH.
• 24:27 YOU KNOW, I MEAN MORE NORTHERN EUROPEAN, SCANDINAVIAN, KIND OF PALE, AND SO FORTH.
• 24:33 BUT WE GET OUR TRADITIONS FROM WHAT WE SEE IN THESE GREAT PAINTINGS
• 24:39 THAT THE MASTERS HAVE DONE THROUGHOUT THE CENTURIES
• 24:42 AND WE GET A LOT OF PECULIAR NOTIONS THAT ARE NOT BIBLICAL
• 24:46 LIKE THE CLOTHING THAT WAS WORN, THE SASH THAT LOOKS LIKE A CROSS, AND SO FORTH.
• 24:51 THAT PROBABLY WAS REALLY NOT THE CASE.
• 24:53 THE QUESTION HAS BEEN ABOUT HOW WAS HE AFFIXED TO THE CROSS.
• 24:57 WAS HE NAILED IN THE PALMS FEET CROSSED AND SO FORTH,
• 25:04 AND THAT'S THE TRADITIONAL VIEWPOINT THAT WE HAVE JUST FROM THE PAINTINGS,
• 25:08 BUT NOT NECESSARILY FROM THE SCRIPTURES.
• 25:11 AND SO WE'VE GOT TO BE CAREFUL NOT TO BASE OUR CONVICTIONS ABOUT CHRIST, OR ANYTHING ELSE,
• 25:20 EXCEPT HOW IT'S REALLY BROUGHT OUT IN THE SCRIPTURES.
• 25:23 THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO BASE OUR VIEWS ON.
• 25:26 NOW, WHAT KIND OF EVIDENCE DO WE HAVE, ZOLA,
• 25:28 THAT JESUS WAS NAILED TO THE CROSS?
• 25:32 AND I THINK WE FIND NOT SO MUCH IN THE DESCRIPTIONS OF THE CRUCIFIXION
• 25:37 ABOUT THIS BUT REALLY IN THE AFTERMATH,
• 25:41 WHEN HE SHOWED HIMSELF AFTER THE RESURRECTION TO THE DISCIPLES.
• 25:45 HE WAS TALKING WITH THE DISCIPLES
• 25:49 AND HE SHOWED THEM HIS HANDS AND HIS FEET THAT IT WAS HE,
• 25:54 AND THAT HE WAS NOT JUST A SPIRIT.
• 25:56 IT WAS HE. IT WAS JESUS.
• 25:58 AND THEIR HEARTS WERE WARMED. AND THAT'S KIND OF A STRANGE THING.
• 26:02 WHEN WE GO UP TO SOMEBODY AND SAY "LOOK AT ME, I'M ME,"
• 26:05 YOU ASK THEM TO LOOK AT YOUR FACE,
• 26:07 YOU DON'T SHOW THEM YOUR HANDS AND YOUR FEET.
• 26:10 BUT JESUS DID. NOW WHY?
• 26:12 THERE MUST BE SOMETHING THAT WAS IN EVEN HIS RESURRECTED HANDS AND FEET
• 26:16 THAT SHOWED THAT HE HAD BEEN CRUCIFIED.
• 26:19 THE NAIL PRINTS, IF NOT IN THE PALMS, IN THE WRIST AREA
• 26:23 OR SOMEWHERE THERE, AND IN HIS FEET.
• 26:25 AND THAT WAS HIS IDENTIFICATION THAT HE WAS THE ONE WHO HAD SUFFERED.
• 26:29 TOM, YOUR INSIGHT IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED HERE.
• 26:33 OUR OFFER TONIGHT IS MORE GENERAL.

• 26:55 FROM A CHURCH IN KENTUCKY.
• 26:56 I DON'T KNOW HOW ELSE TO SAY IT.
• 26:58 VERY ORDINARY HOUSEWIVES
• 27:00 WHO STUDIED THE SCRIPTURES
• 27:02 AND MADE SOME STARTLING
• 27:03 AND WONDERFUL CONCLUSIONS.
• 27:05 THEY ARE VERY CONSCIOUS
• 27:06 OF THEIR JEWISH ROOTS.
• 27:07 THEY ARE NOT JEWISH, BY THE WAY.
• 27:08 BUT VERY CONSCIOUS OF THEIR ROOTS.
• 27:10 AND THEY EXPLAIN EVERYTHING.
• 27:11 THE HISTORY, THE ANTI-SEMITISM,
• 27:14 THE OLD TESTAMENT AND THE NEW.
• 27:16 THE MUSLIMS AND THE PROPHECY,
• 27:18 ISRAEL, IT'S ALL COVERED,
• 27:19 AND COVERED, YOU MIGHT SAY
• 27:21 BY A NEUTRAL CHURCH-GOING PARTY.
• 27:23 I THINK IT'S PRAISEWORTHY.
• 27:24 "DISCOVERING OUR JEWISH ROOTS."
• 27:27 BEAUTIFULLY BOXED.
