00:00:03.57\00:00:06.03
>> THERE'S ONLY TWO RECORDS
IN THE BIBLE OF ANYONE KISSING
00:00:14.44\00:00:16.41
JESUS: MARY KISSED HIS FEET
AND SERVED HIM; JUDAS KISSED HIS
00:00:16.44\00:00:21.62
FACE AND BETRAYED HIM.
MARY WAS CONTENT TO KISS THE
00:00:21.65\00:00:25.39
LOWEST SPOT; JUDAS
WANTED THE HIGHEST SPOT
00:00:25.42\00:00:29.32
AND HE BETRAYED HIM.
00:00:29.36\00:00:31.36
>> TONIGHT WE ARE GOING TO BE
00:00:34.73\00:00:36.06
DEALING WITH ONE OF THE
HEROES OF FAITH THAT IS A
00:00:36.10\00:00:39.93
REAL INTEREST OF MINE.
YOU KNOW, SHE IS ONE OF THE
00:00:39.97\00:00:43.07
ENIGMATIC CHARACTERS THAT YOU
FIND THROUGHOUT THE GOSPEL STORY
00:00:43.10\00:00:48.08
THAT APPEARS IN A NUMBER
OF INTERESTING GEOGRAPHICAL
00:00:48.11\00:00:52.35
SITUATIONS WHERE SHE'S ALWAYS AT
JESUS' FEET AND, THROUGH THOSE
00:00:52.38\00:00:57.12
STORIES, WE LEARN A LOT
ABOUT THE GOSPEL AND WE LEARN A
00:00:57.15\00:01:01.39
LOT ABOUT SALVATION AND
OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD.
00:01:01.42\00:01:05.83
AND SO, TODAY IS OUR CASE
STUDY IN OUR HEROES OF FAITH .
00:01:05.86\00:01:09.16
WE'RE GOING TO FIND OUT
WHAT THE BIBLE TELLS ABOUT MARY.
00:01:09.20\00:01:12.40
NOW, TO START WITH, THE FIRST
PASSAGE WE'RE GOING TO CONSIDER
00:01:12.43\00:01:15.60
IS FROM THE GOSPEL OF JOHN,
CHAPTER 8, AND IT'S A STORY YOU
00:01:15.64\00:01:22.21
ONLY FIND IN THE GOSPEL OF JOHN
AND IT SAYS HERE - I'LL START
00:01:22.24\00:01:26.61
WITH THE FIRST VERSE, "BUT JESUS
WENT TO THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
00:01:26.65\00:01:31.79
NOW EARLY IN THE MORNING HE CAME
AGAIN INTO THE TEMPLE, AND ALL
00:01:31.82\00:01:35.49
THE PEOPLE CAME TO HIM; AND
HE SAT DOWN AND TAUGHT THEM.
00:01:35.52\00:01:39.73
THEN THE SCRIBES AND PHARISEES
BROUGHT TO HIM A WOMAN CAUGHT IN
00:01:39.76\00:01:43.73
ADULTERY. AND WHEN
THEY HAD SET HER IN
00:01:43.77\00:01:46.67
THE MIDST, THEY SAID TO HIM,
'TEACHER, THIS WOMAN WAS CAUGHT
00:01:46.70\00:01:51.21
IN ADULTERY, IN THE VERY ACT.
NOW MOSES, IN THE LAW, COMMANDED
00:01:51.24\00:01:56.14
US THAT SUCH SHOULD BE
STONED. BUT WHAT DO YOU SAY?'
00:01:56.18\00:01:59.71
THIS THEY SAID, TESTING HIM,
THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING
00:01:59.75\00:02:03.18
OF WHICH TO ACCUSE HIM. BUT
JESUS STOOPED DOWN AND WROTE
00:02:03.22\00:02:06.82
ON THE GROUND WITH HIS FINGER,
AS THOUGH HE DID NOT HEAR.'" -
00:02:06.86\00:02:12.33
NOW, THE REASON THAT THEY HAD
DEVELOPED THIS WHOLE TRAP WAS
00:02:12.36\00:02:17.97
BECAUSE THEY WERE TRYING TO GET
RID OF JESUS AND THEY KNEW THAT
00:02:18.00\00:02:22.40
ONLY THE ROMANS WERE ALLOWED
TO PRONOUNCE THE DEATH SENTENCE.
00:02:22.44\00:02:26.17
AND IF ANY OF THE RABBIS OR
RELIGIOUS LEADERS PRONOUNCED THE
00:02:26.21\00:02:28.98
DEATH SENTENCE ON SOMEONE, THEY
WERE GOING TO EXECUTE MARY RIGHT
00:02:29.01\00:02:31.28
AWAY - THEY DIDN'T CARE.
THEN THEY WOULD RUN TO THE
00:02:31.31\00:02:33.78
ROMANS AND SAY, 'THIS RABBI,
JESUS, DOESN'T RESPECT YOUR
00:02:33.82\00:02:36.18
AUTHORITY' - JESUS WOULD BE
ARRESTED. IF JESUS SAID, 'NO, I
00:02:36.22\00:02:40.92
DON'T BELIEVE IN THE LAW OF
MOSES, THEY WERE GOING TO USE
00:02:40.96\00:02:43.22
THEIR STONES TO CREATE A RIOT
AND STONE JESUS FOR REJECTING
00:02:43.26\00:02:46.96
THE LAW OF MOSES. SO THEY
THOUGHT, 'EITHER WAY, WE'VE GOT
00:02:47.00\00:02:50.20
HIM NOW.' AND WHAT THEY DID IS
THEY CREATED A TRAP. THERE WAS A
00:02:50.23\00:02:54.50
YOUNG LADY THAT HAD COME TO
JERUSALEM FOR THE FEAST - THIS
00:02:54.54\00:02:58.17
WAS A FEAST WEEK - HER NAME
WAS MARY AND I BELIEVE IT WAS
00:02:58.21\00:03:03.18
MARY MAGDALENE. MAGDALA WAS A
TOWN ON THE SEA OF GALILEE THAT
00:03:03.21\00:03:09.55
HAD A NOTORIOUS REPUTATION -
IT'S WHERE THE ROMAN SOLDIERS
00:03:09.58\00:03:12.22
WENT FOR VACATION AND IF,
YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE JESUS OF
00:03:12.25\00:03:16.32
NAZARETH - THE TOWN YOU'RE
FROM - MARY MAGDALENE IS MARY OF
00:03:16.36\00:03:20.43
MAGDALA BUT, IF YOU WERE TO
SAY IT TODAY, YOU'D SAY 'MARY OF
00:03:20.46\00:03:23.70
LAS VEGAS.' YOU KNOW, THAT
KIND OF TAKES ON - SIN CITY
00:03:23.73\00:03:27.57
TAKES ON A WHOLE DIFFERENT
SCENARIO AND SO JUST THE
00:03:27.60\00:03:31.21
VERY NAME MEANT SOMETHING.
AND SO THEY KNEW WHAT HER LINE
00:03:31.24\00:03:35.88
OF WORK WAS AND IT
WAS EASY TO SET HER UP.
00:03:35.91\00:03:38.38
NOW, CAN YOU IMAGINE IF YOU WERE
MARY AND YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING
00:03:38.41\00:03:43.89
THAT YOU SHOULDN'T BE DOING - IT
IS A SIN - AND ALL OF A SUDDEN,
00:03:43.92\00:03:48.16
THE RELIGIOUS LEADERS IN
THE COMMUNITY COME BURSTING INTO
00:03:48.19\00:03:51.13
YOUR PLACE OF BUSINESS AND
WITHOUT GIVING YOU A CHANCE TO
00:03:51.16\00:03:54.86
GET PROPERLY CLOTHED, THEY DRAG
YOU THROUGH THE STREETS OF THE
00:03:54.93\00:03:59.53
CITY CREATING A SPECTACLE AS YOU
GO AND THEN THEY BRING YOU TO
00:03:59.57\00:04:04.37
THE HOLIEST PLACE ON THE PLANET
AND THEY THROW YOU DOWN AT THE
00:04:04.41\00:04:09.71
FEET OF THE
HOLIEST MAN WHO EVER LIVED.
00:04:09.74\00:04:12.11
WOULD THAT BE A
SHAMEFUL SITUATION TO BE IN?
00:04:12.15\00:04:16.02
I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW
EMBARRASSED MARY MUST HAVE BEEN.
00:04:16.05\00:04:20.76
BUT, YOU KNOW, I HEARD A
PREACHER SAY ONE TIME, 'THAT'S
00:04:20.79\00:04:23.22
PROBABLY THE BEST PLACE IN THE
WORLD YOU CAN BE WHEN YOU'RE IN
00:04:23.26\00:04:25.43
TROUBLE, IS AT
THE FEET OF JESUS.
00:04:25.46\00:04:26.83
>> AMEN! >> AND
THERE'S WHERE SHE FIRST
00:04:26.86\00:04:28.96
APPEARS IN THE BIBLE -
SHE'S AT THE FEET OF JESUS.
00:04:29.00\00:04:32.37
SHE'S IN SHAME AND WHEN SHE
RECOGNIZED THAT HE WAS WILLING
00:04:32.40\00:04:39.31
TO FORGIVE HER, SHE THOUGHT,
'NOW HERE IS A REAL MAN OF GOD.'
00:04:39.34\00:04:44.18
SHE SENSED, IN THE PRESENCE OF
JESUS, THE POWER AND THE LOVE OF
00:04:44.21\00:04:48.15
GOD - AND MARY HAD PROBABLY
KNOWN A FEW MEN AND THEY HAD ALL
00:04:48.18\00:04:52.99
HAD ULTERIOR MOTIVES AND HERE
WAS SOMEONE WHO WAS GOING TO
00:04:53.02\00:04:55.22
LOVE HER WITH A PURE, UNSELFISH
LOVE AND IT BROKE HER HEART.
00:04:55.26\00:05:00.60
AND I - WHENEVER I READ ABOUT
MARY MAGDALENE I THINK - YOU'VE
00:05:00.63\00:05:05.10
HEARD THIS STORY - LOOKING FOR
LOVE IN ALL THE WRONG PLACES.
00:05:05.13\00:05:08.17
A LOT OF PEOPLE GET INTO TROUBLE
BECAUSE THEY'RE LOOKING FOR LOVE
00:05:08.20\00:05:10.67
AND THAT'S WHAT
SHE WAS LOOKING FOR.
00:05:10.71\00:05:12.91
AND WHEN JESUS LOVED HER
WITH THAT PURE LOVE - THAT
00:05:12.94\00:05:16.21
UNCONDITIONAL LOVE - IT MELTED
HER HEART AND SHE BECAME HIS
00:05:16.24\00:05:20.18
MOST DEVOTED FOLLOWER BECAUSE
SHE UNDERSTOOD SOMETHING NO ONE
00:05:20.22\00:05:23.89
ELSE SEEMED TO UNDERSTAND, AND
I'LL GET TO THAT AS WE GO ON.
00:05:23.92\00:05:27.52
NEXT STUDY WE'RE GOING TO FIND
MARY IS AT THE FEET OF JESUS,
00:05:27.56\00:05:31.96
BUT NOW SHE'S DOING BIBLE STUDY.
YOU TURN TO THE GOSPEL OF LUKE
00:05:31.99\00:05:37.17
AND IN CHAPTER 10 YOU CAN FIND
WHERE IT SAYS THAT THERE WAS A
00:05:37.20\00:05:45.11
DINNER IN GALILEE - AND VERSE 38
- LUKE 10:38 - "NOW IT HAPPENED
00:05:45.14\00:05:50.48
AS THEY WENT THAT HE ENTERED
A CERTAIN VILLAGE; AND A CERTAIN
00:05:50.51\00:05:52.61
WOMAN NAMED MARTHA
WELCOMED HIM INTO HER HOUSE.
00:05:52.65\00:05:55.72
AND SHE HAD A SISTER CALLED
MARY, WHO ALSO SAT AT JESUS'
00:05:55.75\00:05:58.42
FEET AND HEARD HIS WORD.
BUT MARTHA WAS DISTRACTED WITH
00:05:58.45\00:06:02.16
MUCH SERVING AND SHE APPROACHED
HIM AND SAID, 'LORD, DO YOU NOT
00:06:02.19\00:06:05.49
CARE THAT MY SISTER
HAS LEFT ME TO SERVE ALONE?
00:06:05.53\00:06:08.50
THEREFORE TELL HER TO HELP ME.'
AND JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID TO
00:06:08.53\00:06:12.00
HER, 'MARTHA, MARTHA,'" - YOU
KNOW, IT'S THE ONLY TIME IN THE
00:06:12.03\00:06:15.87
BIBLE, I THINK, THE LORD
SAYS A WOMAN'S NAME TWICE.
00:06:15.90\00:06:18.77
HE OFTEN SAID, 'ABRAHAM,
ABRAHAM' OR THE DIFFERENT -
00:06:18.81\00:06:22.31
'SAMUEL, SAMUEL.' - "'MARTHA,
MARTHA, YOU ARE WORRIED AND
00:06:22.34\00:06:27.15
TROUBLED ABOUT MANY THINGS.
BUT ONE THING IS NEEDED,'"
00:06:27.18\00:06:31.19
- HOW MANY THINGS? >> ONE.
00:06:31.22\00:06:32.99
>> "'ONE THING IS NEEDED, AND
MARY HAS CHOSEN THAT GOOD PART,
00:06:33.02\00:06:36.39
WHICH WILL NOT BE TAKEN AWAY
FROM HER.'" LIKE THE DEMONIAC WE
00:06:36.42\00:06:39.83
TALKED ABOUT THE OTHER NIGHT,
SHE'S SITTING AT JESUS' FEET,
00:06:39.86\00:06:42.33
DRINKING IN THE WORD.
HE'S TEACHING HER HOW NOT TO
00:06:42.36\00:06:45.70
MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES THAT
HAD CAUSED PROBLEMS IN THE PAST.
00:06:45.73\00:06:48.97
AND, YOU KNOW, WHEN JESUS SAID
THAT'S THE ONE THING, THIS IS SO
00:06:49.00\00:06:52.37
IMPORTANT BECAUSE
YOU'VE GOT TWO WOMEN HERE -
00:06:52.41\00:06:53.81
WHAT'S A WOMAN
REPRESENT? >> THE CHURCH.
00:06:53.84\00:06:56.54
>> SISTERS - VERY OPPOSITE - ONE
IS SITTING AT THE FEET OF JESUS
00:06:56.58\00:06:59.68
IN LOVE AND DEVOTION
AND DRINKING IN THE WORD
00:06:59.71\00:07:01.95
AND THE OTHER IS
WORK, WORK, WORK.
00:07:01.98\00:07:03.95
SHE'S SERVING THE LORD, BUT
SHE'S SO BUSY WITH THE WORK OF
00:07:03.99\00:07:07.56
THE LORD, SHE
FORGETS THE LORD OF THE WORK.
00:07:07.59\00:07:10.16
AND A LOT OF PEOPLE GET INVOLVED
IN DOING GOOD DEEDS FOR CHURCH -
00:07:10.19\00:07:16.16
FOR THE LORD - AND THEY
DON'T HAVE THAT ONE-ON-ONE
00:07:16.20\00:07:18.97
RELATIONSHIP - A PERSONAL
RELATIONSHIP. DOESN'T THE LORD
00:07:19.00\00:07:21.97
SAY THAT IN THE JUDGMENT,
WHEN HE COMES, HE'LL DECLARE TO
00:07:22.00\00:07:24.57
MANY PEOPLE, 'DEPART FROM
ME. I DON'T KNOW YOU.' 'OH, BUT
00:07:24.61\00:07:27.91
LORD, WE TAUGHT IN YOUR STREETS
AND WE CONDUCTED MANY POTLUCKS
00:07:27.94\00:07:31.31
AND WE GAVE TO THE ORPHANAGES
AND WE WENT TO THE HOSPITALS AND
00:07:31.35\00:07:34.12
WE TOOK CARE OF THE CLOTHES AND
WE WENT TO THE PRISONS AND HE'LL
00:07:34.15\00:07:37.09
SAY, 'I DON'T KNOW YOU.'
THAT'S WHY WE'RE SAVED BY A
00:07:37.12\00:07:40.62
PERSONAL
RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS.
00:07:40.66\00:07:43.29
HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN? HOW
DO YOU GET TO KNOW ANYBODY?
00:07:43.32\00:07:47.30
I DIDN'T MARRY KAREN
THE FIRST DAY I MET HER.
00:07:47.30\00:07:50.13
WHEN YOU FALL IN LOVE
WITH SOMEBODY, YOU COMMUNICATE.
00:07:50.17\00:07:54.10
WHENEVER YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE
SOMEBODY IT TAKES COMMUNICATION
00:07:54.14\00:07:56.81
- YOU TALK TO
THEM, THEY TALK TO YOU.
00:07:56.84\00:07:58.61
HOW DOES GOD TALK TO US?
THAT'S WHY WE SING THAT SONG
00:07:58.64\00:08:02.94
EACH NIGHT, GIVE ME THE
BIBLE - IT'S THROUGH HIS WORD.
00:08:02.98\00:08:05.31
DO YOU HAVE REGULAR TIME AT
JESUS' FEET, LISTENING TO HIM?
00:08:05.35\00:08:09.38
YOU NEED TO - YOU
NEED TO MAKE THAT TIME.
00:08:09.42\00:08:12.22
IT HAS TO BE MORE IMPORTANT
TO YOU THAN YOUR DAILY BREAD.
00:08:12.25\00:08:15.32
'I'VE 'STEEMED THE WORDS OF
HIS MOUTH MORE THAN MY NECESSARY
00:08:15.36\00:08:18.36
FOOD.' JESUS SAID, 'MAN WILL
NOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE, BUT BY
00:08:18.39\00:08:21.46
EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS FROM
THE MOUTH OF GOD.' DO YOU HAVE A
00:08:21.50\00:08:25.17
DEVOTIONAL LIFE? AND,
IT'S NOT ONLY HIS TALKING
00:08:25.20\00:08:27.94
TO YOU, IT'S YOU'RE
TALKING TO HIM. DO YOU PRAY?
00:08:27.97\00:08:31.27
AND THEN, OF COURSE, YOU SHOW
IT BY DEEDS OF SERVICE AND LOVE,
00:08:31.31\00:08:35.78
BUT FIRST YOU'VE GOT TO
HAVE THE LOVE RELATIONSHIP.
00:08:35.81\00:08:38.08
WE LOVE HIM BECAUSE HE FIRST
LOVED US. HOW DO WE LEARN ABOUT
00:08:38.11\00:08:40.55
HIS LOVE FOR US? WHEN
WE LOOK IN HIS WORD AND
00:08:40.58\00:08:43.15
WE SEE WHAT HE DID FOR
US, IT INSPIRES US WITH LOVE.
00:08:43.18\00:08:48.52
SO SHE SITS AT JESUS' FEET
AND SHE HEARS THE WORD AND THIS
00:08:48.56\00:08:52.76
HELPS HER DEVELOP THAT LOVE
RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS - AND WE
00:08:52.79\00:08:56.97
NEED TO HAVE THAT KIND OF
RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS ALSO.
00:08:57.00\00:09:00.60
THEN WE'VE GOT ANOTHER POINT
WHERE MARY IS AT JESUS' FEET
00:09:00.64\00:09:03.84
PRAYING FOR HER
BROTHER THAT IS DEAD.
00:09:03.87\00:09:08.48
NOW, IF YOU LOOK IN JOHN CHAPTER
11, YOU REMEMBER A MESSAGE COMES
00:09:08.51\00:09:12.58
TO JESUS, 'YOUR FRIEND THAT
YOU LOVE, LAZARUS, IS SICK.' AND
00:09:12.61\00:09:20.02
JESUS DOES NOT COME
RIGHT AWAY TO HEAL HIM.
00:09:20.06\00:09:24.16
SEVERAL DAYS GO BY AND, BY THE
TIME JESUS GETS THERE, LAZARUS
00:09:24.19\00:09:27.03
HAS NOT ONLY DIED,
HE'S BEEN DEAD SEVERAL DAYS.
00:09:27.03\00:09:30.37
AND THEY RUN TO JESUS AND YOU
CAN FIND MARY, YOU CAN SEE IT
00:09:30.40\00:09:33.44
HERE IN JOHN 11:32, "THEN, WHEN
MARY CAME WHERE JESUS WAS, AND
00:09:33.47\00:09:38.94
SAW HIM, SHE FELL DOWN AT HIS
FEET, SAYING TO HIM, 'LORD, IF
00:09:38.97\00:09:43.45
YOU HAD BEEN HERE, MY BROTHER
WOULD NOT HAVE DIED.' THEREFORE,
00:09:43.48\00:09:47.95
WHEN JESUS SAW HER WEEPING, AND
THE JEWS WHO HAD COME WITH HER
00:09:47.98\00:09:51.05
FROM THE FUNERAL - WEEPING,
HE GROANED IN HIS SPIRIT AND WAS
00:09:51.09\00:09:54.59
TROUBLED. AND HE SAID, 'WHERE
HAVE YOU LAID HIM?' THEY SAID TO
00:09:54.62\00:09:58.29
HIM, 'LORD, COME AND SEE.' JESUS
WEPT." - THAT'S THE SHORTEST
00:09:58.33\00:10:02.93
VERSE IN THE BIBLE -
AT LEAST IN THE ENGLISH.
00:10:02.96\00:10:06.17
YOU KNOW, JESUS BROUGHT THEM TO
THE TOMB AND HE SAID, 'ROLL AWAY
00:10:06.20\00:10:11.61
THE STONE AND THEY SAID, 'OH
LORD, BUT THIS IS A - THIS IS
00:10:11.64\00:10:16.28
BAD, YOU KNOW, HE'S BEEN
DEAD FOUR DAYS.' AND JESUS TOLD
00:10:16.31\00:10:20.38
MARTHA, HE SAID, 'LOOK, I'M
GOING TO RAISE HIM UP.' AND SHE
00:10:20.42\00:10:23.02
SAID, 'WELL, I KNOW HE'S GOING
TO BE RAISED IN THE RESURRECTION
00:10:23.05\00:10:25.09
AT THE LAST DAY,' - WHICH IS
AN IMPORTANT POINT: WHEN IS THE
00:10:25.12\00:10:28.56
RESURRECTION? THE LAST DAY.
00:10:28.59\00:10:32.03
I THINK, THREE OR FOUR TIMES,
JUST IN THE GOSPEL OF JOHN IT
00:10:32.06\00:10:35.30
SAYS, 'THE RESURRECTION IN THE
LAST DAY.' IT'S TELLING US THAT
00:10:35.33\00:10:38.60
THE DAY OF THE LORD - THE
JUDGMENT DAY - 'WHEN THE LORD
00:10:38.63\00:10:41.94
DESCENDS FROM HEAVEN THE DEAD
IN CHRIST WILL RISE' THE BIBLE
00:10:41.97\00:10:44.41
SAYS. AND HE
SAYS, 'I'M NOT TALKING
00:10:44.44\00:10:47.68
ABOUT THAT ONE, I'M GOING
TO DO SOMETHING SPECIAL NOW.
00:10:47.71\00:10:51.71
ROLL AWAY THE STONE.' SO,
RELUCTANTLY, MARTHA INSTRUCTS
00:10:51.75\00:10:56.62
THE SERVANTS AND
THEY ROLL AWAY THE STONE.
00:10:56.65\00:10:59.05
AND JESUS SAYS, 'LAZARUS, COME
FORTH.' AND, WHEN THEY ROLL AWAY
00:10:59.09\00:11:04.89
THE STONE, THEY CAN SMELL IT.
THEY KNOW HE'S DEAD, BUT THEN
00:11:04.93\00:11:09.06
THEY HEAR A SHUFFLING, RUFFLING,
MUFFLED NOISE COMING FROM THE
00:11:09.10\00:11:11.97
TOMB AND OUT SHUFFLES
THEIR BROTHER, VERY MUCH ALIVE.
00:11:12.00\00:11:17.14
AND JESUS SAYS,
'LOOSE HIM' - UNWRAP HIM.
00:11:17.17\00:11:20.31
WAS MARY GLAD THAT SHE SPENT
TIME WEEPING AT JESUS' FEET FOR
00:11:20.34\00:11:23.98
HER BROTHER? DID
HE ANSWER THAT PRAYER?
00:11:24.01\00:11:27.72
BUT, YOU KNOW, SHE
SAID, 'WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?'
00:11:27.75\00:11:29.38
IT WAS LATER THAN THEY THOUGHT.
SO WHEN YOU'RE PRAYING FOR LOVED
00:11:29.42\00:11:32.42
ONES OR SOMEONE THAT YOU WANT TO
HAVE LIFE, YOU MUST BE PATIENT.

00:12:04.99\00:12:06.92
AND MOST IMPORTANT,
TO SHARE IT WITH OTHERS.
00:12:06.96\00:12:09.69
>> SOMETIMES IT
EVEN LOOKS HOPELESS.
00:12:11.66\00:12:13.90
DON'T GIVE UP. KEEP PRAYING.
00:12:13.93\00:12:16.90
THEY SAID, 'JESUS,
WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?'
00:12:16.93\00:12:19.40
I KNOW LADIES THAT HAVE
PRAYED FOR THEIR HUSBANDS LIKE
00:12:19.43\00:12:24.07
20 YEARS, THAT THEY'D
COME TO THE LORD - OR LONGER.
00:12:24.11\00:12:27.74
PARENTS THAT HAVE PRAYED FOR
THEIR CHILDREN - 40 - 50 YEARS -
00:12:27.78\00:12:32.28
AND THEN GOD WORKS A MIRACLE.
I'VE KNOW PEOPLE THAT HAVE COME
00:12:32.31\00:12:34.35
TO THE LORD YEARS AFTER THEIR
PARENTS WERE DEAD AND I THINK
00:12:34.38\00:12:36.95
THAT GOD FINALLY MADE A
WITHDRAWAL ON THE PRAYERS THE
00:12:36.99\00:12:39.29
PARENTS HAD STORED IN HEAVEN,
THAT THEY MIGHT FIND LIFE.
00:12:39.32\00:12:43.26
AND THOSE PARENTS ARE GOING
TO BE VERY HAPPY - THEY WENT TO
00:12:43.29\00:12:45.06
THEIR GRAVE THINKING
THEIR CHILDREN WERE LOST.
00:12:45.09\00:12:47.13
IN THE RESURRECTION THEY'RE
GOING TO SAY, 'HOW'D YOU GET
00:12:47.13\00:12:48.50
HERE?' (LAUGHTER)
AND THE ANGELS ARE
00:12:48.53\00:12:52.23
GOING TO SAY, 'YOU KNOW
ALL THOSE PRAYERS YOU PRAYED?
00:12:52.27\00:12:54.40
THEY WERE COMPOUNDING INTEREST
AND GOD DID SOMETHING WITH IT.'
00:12:54.44\00:12:58.94
SO WE NEED TO SPEND
TIME BELIEVING AND PRAYING.
00:12:58.97\00:13:02.48
THE REASON JESUS CAME INTO
THIS WORLD IS TO SAVE THE LOST.
00:13:02.51\00:13:05.48
NOTHING IS MORE IMPORTANT THAT
PRAYING FOR THE LOST AND WE ARE
00:13:05.51\00:13:07.78
SURROUNDED BY BROTHERS
AND SISTERS THAT ARE DEAD IN
00:13:07.82\00:13:10.15
TRESPASSES AND SINS.
SO THE CHURCH, LIKE MARY,
00:13:10.19\00:13:13.89
NEEDS TO BE DOING THAT.
THEN WE NEED TO SPEND SOME TIME
00:13:13.92\00:13:17.76
AT JESUS' FEET IN SACRIFICE.
AND THIS IS A PLACE WHERE MARY
00:13:17.79\00:13:22.46
REALLY SHINES. YOU CAN FIND THIS
STORY - AND THEY GIVE LITTLE
00:13:22.50\00:13:26.27
PERSPECTIVES THAT ARE DIFFERENT.
IN THE GOSPEL OF JOHN CHAPTER
00:13:26.30\00:13:28.67
12, IT'S CALLED
THE DINNER IN BETHANY .
00:13:28.70\00:13:31.14
IN MARK CHAPTER 14, IN LUKE
CHAPTER 7 - I THINK I'M GOING TO
00:13:31.17\00:13:35.24
GO TO LUKE'S VERSION IN LUKE
CHAPTER 7, VERSE 36 - IT SAYS,
00:13:35.28\00:13:41.25
"THEN ONE OF THE PHARISEES
ASKED HIM TO EAT WITH HIM.
00:13:41.28\00:13:44.29
AND HE WENT TO THE PHARISEE'S
HOUSE, AND SAT DOWN TO EAT.
00:13:44.32\00:13:48.82
AND BEHOLD, A WOMAN IN THE CITY
WHO WAS A SINNER, WHEN SHE KNEW
00:13:48.86\00:13:52.43
THAT JESUS SAT AT THE TABLE IN
THE PHARISEE'S HOUSE, BROUGHT AN
00:13:52.46\00:13:56.67
ALABASTER FLASK OF FRAGRANT OIL,
AND STOOD AT HIS FEET BEHIND HIM
00:13:56.70\00:14:01.57
WEEPING; AND SHE BEGAN TO WASH
HIS FEET WITH HER TEARS, AND
00:14:01.60\00:14:05.51
WIPED THEM WITH THE HAIR OF HER
HEAD;" - THAT'S A WOMAN'S GLORY
00:14:05.54\00:14:07.28
IS HER HAIR. THIS
IS A SYMBOL OF COMPLETE
00:14:07.31\00:14:09.71
SUBMISSION - AT HIS FEET,
CRYING, ANOINTING, KISSING HIS
00:14:09.74\00:14:14.35
FEET - AND THE
FRAGRANT OIL FILLED THE HOUSE.
00:14:14.38\00:14:18.49
AND SIMON, IT TELLS US THAT HE'S
CALLED 'SIMON THE LEPER' IN THE
00:14:18.52\00:14:23.29
OTHER GOSPELS - HE WAS A
PHARISEE WHO JESUS HEALED FROM
00:14:23.32\00:14:26.76
LEPROSY AND HE HAS THIS FEAST
IN BETHANY - PROBABLY THE FEAST
00:14:26.80\00:14:30.17
THAT MARTHA WAS RUSTLING AROUND
AND GETTING READY FOR - HAS THIS
00:14:30.20\00:14:33.80
FEAST IN BETHANY TO HONOR JESUS
AND JESUS COMES AND WHEN THEY
00:14:33.84\00:14:37.21
SEE MARY, WHO HAD A BAD
REPUTATION IN TOWN, AND JESUS IS
00:14:37.24\00:14:41.64
LETTING HER TOUCH HIM.
SIMON SAYS WITHIN HIMSELF, "THIS
00:14:41.68\00:14:46.95
MAN, IF HE WERE A PROPHET, WOULD
KNOW WHO AND WHAT MANNER OF
00:14:46.98\00:14:50.45
WOMAN THIS IS WHO'S TOUCHING
HIM, FOR SHE IS A SINNER."
00:14:50.49\00:14:54.76
THERE YOU HAVE IT.
00:14:54.79\00:14:56.32
THERE'S NO QUESTION ABOUT
WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT MARY.
00:14:56.36\00:14:58.63
HE, EVIDENTLY, THOUGHT SHE
WAS A BIGGER SINNER THAN HE WAS.
00:14:58.66\00:15:01.80
"AND JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID TO
HIM, 'SIMON, I HAVE SOMETHING TO
00:15:01.83\00:15:05.60
SAY TO YOU.'" HE SAID,
"'MASTER, SAY ON.' 'THERE WAS A
00:15:05.63\00:15:08.54
CERTAIN CREDITOR WHO HAD TWO
DEBTORS. ONE OWED FIVE HUNDRED
00:15:08.57\00:15:12.11
DENARII, AND THE OTHER FIFTY.
AND WHEN THEY HAD NOTHING WITH
00:15:12.14\00:15:15.31
WHICH TO REPAY, HE
FREELY FORGAVE THEM BOTH.
00:15:15.34\00:15:18.35
TELL ME, THEREFORE, WHICH
OF THEM WILL LOVE HIM MORE?'
00:15:18.38\00:15:22.02
SIMON ANSWERED AND SAID, 'I
SUPPOSE THE ONE WHOM HE FORGAVE
00:15:22.05\00:15:24.42
MORE.' AND HE SAID TO HIM, 'YOU
HAVE RIGHTLY JUDGED.' THEN HE
00:15:24.45\00:15:27.52
TURNED TO THE WOMAN AND SAID TO
SIMON, DO YOU SEE THIS WOMAN?'"
00:15:27.56\00:15:29.62
- EVERYONE SAW THE WOMAN.
THEY COULD SMELL WHAT SHE HAD
00:15:29.66\00:15:32.33
DONE ALL THROUGH THE HOUSE.
"'...DO YOU SEE THIS WOMAN?
00:15:32.36\00:15:35.33
I ENTERED YOUR HOUSE; YOU GAVE
ME NO WATER FOR MY FEET,'" -
00:15:35.36\00:15:37.93
WHICH WAS THE CUSTOMARY, POLITE
THING TO DO - "'BUT SHE HAS
00:15:37.97\00:15:43.67
WASHED MY FEET WITH HER TEARS
AND WIPED THEM WITH THE HAIR OF
00:15:43.71\00:15:45.81
HER HEAD. YOU GAVE
ME NO KISS, BUT THIS
00:15:45.84\00:15:49.31
WOMAN HAS NOT CEASED TO KISS MY
FEET SINCE THE TIME I CAME IN.
00:15:49.34\00:15:53.42
YOU DID NOT ANOINT MY HEAD WITH
OIL, BUT THIS WOMAN HAS ANOINTED
00:15:53.45\00:15:56.35
MY FEET WITH FRAGRANT OIL.
THEREFORE I SAY TO YOU, HER
00:15:56.38\00:16:00.52
SINS, WHICH ARE MANY,'" - HE'S
NOT CONTESTING THAT - SHE WAS
00:16:00.56\00:16:04.76
A BIG SINNER - "...'HER SINS,
WHICH ARE MANY, ARE FORGIVEN,'"
00:16:04.79\00:16:08.26
- ISN'T IT GOOD TO KNOW THAT
JESUS CAN FORGIVE MANY SINS?
00:16:08.30\00:16:10.60
>> AMEN, >> AND
THEN GO - CHRIST GOES ON
00:16:10.63\00:16:13.50
TO SAY, "...FOR SHE LOVED MUCH
- HER SINS, WHICH ARE MANY, ARE
00:16:13.54\00:16:18.67
FORGIVEN, FOR SHE LOVED MUCH.
BUT TO WHOM LITTLE IS FORGIVEN,
00:16:18.71\00:16:24.91
THE SAME LOVES LITTLE.'" IS
IT SAFE TO UNDERSTAND HE WHO IS
00:16:24.95\00:16:28.78
FORGIVEN MUCH LOVES
MUCH? WHO IS NOT FORGIVEN MUCH?
00:16:28.82\00:16:33.59
SIMON, EVIDENTLY, THOUGHT THAT
SHE WAS A BIG SINNER AND HE WAS
00:16:33.62\00:16:36.09
A LITTLE SINNER. CHEER
UP, YOU'RE ALL BIG SINNERS.
00:16:36.12\00:16:38.89
(LAUGHTER) THERE ARE NO
LITTLE SINNERS OUT THERE.
00:16:38.93\00:16:42.06
YOU ALL QUALIFY, BECAUSE NO
MATTER WHAT YOU THINK YOUR LIST
00:16:42.10\00:16:46.13
OF SINS ARE, WHAT YOUR
RECORD LOOKS LIKE, YOUR SINS
00:16:46.17\00:16:48.64
WERE ENOUGH TO PUT JESUS
ON THE CROSS ALL BY YOURSELF.
00:16:48.67\00:16:52.54
EVERYTHING THAT JESUS WENT
THROUGH, HE WOULD HAVE HAD TO GO
00:16:52.57\00:16:54.84
THROUGH FOR YOU.
SO YOU DO QUALIFY.
00:16:54.88\00:16:59.41
THE THING IS, DO YOU KNOW
HOW MUCH YOU'VE BEEN FORGIVEN?
00:16:59.45\00:17:03.75
HE THAT KNOWS HOW MUCH THEY'VE
BEEN FORGIVEN LOVES MUCH.
00:17:03.79\00:17:10.03
AND YOU KNOW HOW YOU CAN TELL
HOW MUCH YOU'VE BEEN FORGIVEN?
00:17:10.06\00:17:12.59
HOW MUCH DID IT COST
TO BUY YOUR FORGIVENESS?
00:17:12.63\00:17:16.80
THEY SAY, 'HOW MUCH
IS SOMETHING WORTH?'
00:17:16.83\00:17:18.87
IT'S WORTH WHAT
SOMEONE'LL PAY FOR IT.
00:17:18.90\00:17:21.67
HOW MUCH WAS PAID
FOR YOUR REDEMPTION?
00:17:21.70\00:17:24.47
QUITE A BIT. THAT'S
HOW MUCH YOU'RE WORTH.
00:17:24.51\00:17:29.18
HE THAT KNOWS HOW MUCH THEY'RE
FORGIVEN - IF YOU UNDERSTAND HOW
00:17:29.21\00:17:32.81
MUCH JESUS PAID FOR
YOU - YOU WILL LOVE MUCH.
00:17:32.85\00:17:35.85
AND HE SAID TO THE
WOMAN, "YOUR SINS ARE FORGIVEN."
00:17:35.88\00:17:39.62
WOULDN'T YOU LIKE FOR
HIM TO SAY THAT TO US?
00:17:39.65\00:17:41.69
HERE SHE IS, SHE'S MAKING
THIS GREAT SACRIFICE - SHE SPENT
00:17:41.72\00:17:44.13
ENOUGH MONEY TO BUY A GIFT FOR
A KING AND SHE POURS IT OUT ON
00:17:44.16\00:17:47.60
JESUS. YOU KNOW,
SHE HEARD JESUS SAY,
00:17:47.66\00:17:50.50
SEVERAL TIMES, CHRIST, BEFORE
HE GOES TO THE CROSS, HE SAYS TO
00:17:50.53\00:17:54.10
THE DISCIPLES,
'I'M GOING TO JERUSALEM.
00:17:54.14\00:17:56.81
I'M GOING TO BE BETRAYED
INTO THE HANDS OF SINNERS.
00:17:56.84\00:17:59.64
I'LL BE CRUCIFIED.
00:17:59.67\00:18:01.54
I'LL BE BEATEN AND JUDGED
AND I'LL RISE THE THIRD DAY.'
00:18:01.58\00:18:04.91
AND THE DISCIPLES
SAID, 'NO, NO, LORD.
00:18:04.95\00:18:06.38
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
NO - DON'T - NONE OF THAT!'
00:18:06.41\00:18:08.55
THE DISCIPLES WEREN'T LISTENING.
CHRIST SAID IT SO OFTEN THAT
00:18:08.58\00:18:11.29
EVEN HIS ENEMIES REMEMBERED IT.
THEY WENT TO PILATE AND SAID,
00:18:11.32\00:18:14.02
'WE HEARD THIS DECEIVER SAY THAT
HE'D RISE AFTER THREE DAYS.'
00:18:14.06\00:18:16.96
HIS ENEMIES HEARD
IT. MARY HEARD IT TOO.
00:18:16.99\00:18:21.96
AND JESUS SAID, 'SHE'S COME
TO ANOINT ME BEFORE MY BURIAL.
00:18:22.00\00:18:26.57
WE TYPICALLY GIVE GIFTS TO
PEOPLE AFTER THEY'RE - YOU KNOW,
00:18:26.60\00:18:29.14
FLOWERS AT THEIR
FUNERAL OR SOMETHING.
00:18:29.17\00:18:33.07
AND EVERYONE SAYS THESE
WONDERFUL THINGS AFTER THEY'RE
00:18:33.11\00:18:34.41
GONE THAT THEY NEVER
SAID WHEN THEY WERE ALIVE.
00:18:34.44\00:18:37.08
SOME OF THEM AREN'T EVEN TRUE
AND THEY STILL SAY WONDERFUL
00:18:37.11\00:18:39.68
THINGS, RIGHT?
MARY WANTED TO SHOW HER
00:18:39.71\00:18:44.05
LOVE WHILE JESUS WAS ALIVE.
AND IF YOU WANT THE LORD TO KNOW
00:18:44.09\00:18:47.82
THAT YOU LOVE HIM, DO
IT WHILE HE'S BLESSING YOU.
00:18:47.86\00:18:53.93
SHE GAVE A GENEROUS GIFT.
DO YOU THINK SHE EVER REGRETTED
00:18:53.96\00:18:57.07
MAKING THAT SACRIFICE FOR JESUS?
NEXT, WHAT WE FIND, IS THAT MARY
00:18:57.10\00:19:02.77
IS - SHE'S AT JESUS FEET
NOW IN SURRENDER AT THE CROSS.
00:19:02.80\00:19:08.28
NOW THIS IS A FASCINATING
PICTURE BECAUSE, YOU KNOW,
00:19:08.31\00:19:13.11
THE APOSTLES, IN THE GARDEN OF
GETHSEMANE, THEY WERE VERY BOLD
00:19:13.15\00:19:16.52
AND, AT THE LAST SUPPER, PETER
SAID, 'THOUGH ALL MEN FORSAKE
00:19:16.55\00:19:19.55
THEE, I'LL NOT FORSAKE YOU.'
AND WHEN THE MOB FIRST CAME TO
00:19:19.59\00:19:22.96
ARREST JESUS, PETER PULLED OUT
A SWORD, BUT THEY ALL SCATTERED
00:19:22.99\00:19:26.93
AND RAN. AND
THEN, AT THE CROSS, IT
00:19:26.96\00:19:30.10
SAYS THAT THEY STOOD AFAR OFF
BEHOLDING THESE THINGS, IN THE
00:19:30.13\00:19:33.54
GOSPEL OF LUKE, BUT IF YOU GO TO
JOHN CHAPTER 19, VERSE 25, "NOW
00:19:33.57\00:19:38.57
THERE STOOD BY THE CROSS
OF JESUS HIS MOTHER, AND HIS
00:19:38.61\00:19:44.91
MOTHER'S SISTER, MARY THE WIFE
OF CLOPAS, AND MARY MAGDALENE."
00:19:44.95\00:19:50.69
IT'S THE DEVOTED WOMEN WHO WERE
ACTUALLY THERE AT THE CROSS.
00:19:50.72\00:19:54.49
THE OTHERS ARE STANDING,
WATCHING AT A DISTANCE.
00:19:54.52\00:19:56.29
THEY'RE AFRAID, BUT THE
WOMEN DON'T CARE WHAT'S GOING TO
00:19:56.32\00:20:00.80
HAPPEN TO THEM. THEY'RE WILLING
- THEY'RE THINKING ABOUT JESUS'
00:20:00.83\00:20:04.90
SUFFERING. THEY WANT
JESUS TO SEE THAT THEY CARE.
00:20:04.93\00:20:07.27
THEY'RE BEING SYMPATHETIC AND
EMPATHETIC AND THEY'RE SHOWING
00:20:07.30\00:20:10.71
THEIR LOVE THERE AT
THE FOOT OF THE CROSS.
00:20:10.74\00:20:13.68
YOU KNOW, HERE WE SEE MARY
AT JESUS' FEET AGAIN, DON'T WE?
00:20:13.71\00:20:18.21
WEEPING, NO DOUBT, AT HIS FEET,
BEHOLDING HIM FINALLY PAYING THE
00:20:18.25\00:20:23.42
DEBT FOR WHAT HE HAD PROMISED
EARLIER WHEN HE HAD SAID,
00:20:23.45\00:20:26.82
'GO AND SIN NO MORE.
00:20:26.86\00:20:28.56
I DON'T CONDEMN YOU.' ALL OF US,
LIKE MARY, NEED TO SPEND TIME AT
00:20:28.59\00:20:33.03
JESUS' FEET BEHOLDING HIM AS OUR
SACRIFICE. HOW MANY SONGS ARE
00:20:33.06\00:20:38.10
WRITTEN ABOUT THE CROSS?
'AT THE CROSS, AT THE CROSS,
00:20:38.13\00:20:41.27
WHERE I FIRST SAW THE LIGHT'
'BENEATH THE CROSS OF JESUS I
00:20:41.30\00:20:44.47
WILL TAKE MY STAND' 'JESUS KEEP
ME NEAR THE CROSS' - WHY DID ALL
00:20:44.51\00:20:47.94
THESE HYMN WRITERS
WRITE ABOUT THE CROSS?
00:20:47.98\00:20:50.28
BECAUSE THE CROSS IS THE AXLE
ON WHICH THE GOSPEL ROTATES.
00:20:50.31\00:20:54.85
IT IS THE VERY FULCRUM ON
WHICH THE WHOLE BIBLE PIVOTS.
00:20:54.88\00:20:59.22
IT'S AT THE CROSS YOU SEE
CHRIST'S POWER OF LOVE AND IT'S
00:20:59.25\00:21:04.49
AT THE CROSS YOU CAN EVEN
SEE THE DEVIL'S LOVE FOR POWER.
00:21:04.53\00:21:07.50
YOU SEE THE GREAT CONTRAST
BETWEEN GOD EMPTYING HIMSELF AT
00:21:07.50\00:21:11.13
THE CROSS AND YOU SEE THE
DIABOLICAL VILLAIN - THE ARCH
00:21:11.17\00:21:16.17
FIEND - THE DEVIL, HOW
HE'S TRYING TO EXTRACT ALL THE
00:21:16.20\00:21:19.37
SUFFERING. JESUS
IS SAYING, 'FATHER,
00:21:19.41\00:21:21.48
FORGIVE THEM.' AND IT'S AT THE
CROSS WE SEE HIS LOVE FOR US.
00:21:21.51\00:21:26.88
NEXT, YOU SEE #6 -
MARY IN SERVICE AT THE TOMB.
00:21:26.92\00:21:32.95
WHEN THEY TOOK HIS BODY DOWN
FROM THE CROSS, THE WOMEN WENT
00:21:32.99\00:21:37.29
ALONG TO WATCH AFTER HIM.
MARK CHAPTER 15, VERSE 45, "SO
00:21:37.33\00:21:43.87
WHEN HE FOUND OUT FROM
THE CENTURION, HE GRANTED
00:21:43.90\00:21:46.10
THE BODY TO JOSEPH.
THEN HE BOUGHT FINE LINEN,
00:21:46.13\00:21:49.24
TOOK HIM DOWN, AND
WRAPPED HIM IN THE LINEN.
00:21:49.27\00:21:51.24
AND HE LAID HIM IN A SEPULCHER
WHICH HAD BEEN HEWN OUT OF THE
00:21:51.27\00:21:53.48
ROCK, AND ROLLED A
STONE AGAINST THE DOOR OF THE
00:21:53.51\00:21:56.04
SEPULCHER. AND MARY
MAGDALENE AND MARY THE
00:21:56.08\00:21:59.35
MOTHER OF JOSES
OBSERVED WHERE HE WAS LAID."
00:21:59.38\00:22:02.22
THAT MEANS THEY OVERSAW THE
CARE OF HIS BODY. YOU SEE THE
00:22:02.25\00:22:06.19
DEVOTION EVEN THERE. AND I - YOU
KNOW, BEFORE, THEY DIDN'T HAVE
00:22:06.22\00:22:09.99
TIME TO ANOINT HIS BODY. THE
SABBATH WAS APPROACHING AND THAT
00:22:10.03\00:22:14.00
WAS VERY SACRED TO
JESUS AND THE APOSTLES.
00:22:14.00\00:22:16.36
AND IT SAYS THEY WENT HOME
AND PREPARED SPICES AND KEPT THE
00:22:16.40\00:22:19.13
SABBATH ACCORDING TO THE
COMMANDMENT - IN LUKE CHAPTER 53
00:22:19.17\00:22:22.87
- BUT BEFORE THEY DID THAT, THEY
DID WRAP HIM, BECAUSE WHEN JESUS
00:22:22.90\00:22:25.94
ROSE, THERE WERE
WRAPPINGS THAT HE SET ASIDE.
00:22:25.97\00:22:28.78
WHO DO YOU THINK
WRAPPED HIS FEET?
00:22:28.81\00:22:31.61
CAN'T PROVE IT, BUT I JUST
PICTURE MARY SAYING, 'LET ME
00:22:31.65\00:22:36.42
WRAP HIS FEET.' AND THE OTHER
MARY WRAPPED THE TOP END AND -
00:22:36.45\00:22:42.22
YOU CAN READ ALSO ABOUT THAT
IN LUKE CHAPTER 53 - THE WOMEN,
00:22:42.26\00:22:45.49
ALSO, THEY CAME WITH HIM FROM
GALILEE - FOLLOWED AFTER - THEY
00:22:45.53\00:22:48.26
BEHELD THE TOMB AND HOW HIS
BODY WAS LAID. YOU KNOW, IT'S
00:22:48.30\00:22:52.47
IMPORTANT TO SIT AT HIS FEET,
BUT DOING WHAT MARTHA DOES IS
00:22:52.50\00:22:55.20
ALSO IMPORTANT AND THAT'S
SERVICE. BUT YOU NOTICE THE LOVE
00:22:55.24\00:22:58.01
AND THE LISTENING
COMES BEFORE THE SERVICE.
00:22:58.04\00:23:01.81
NOW IT'S INTERESTING THAT, WHEN
YOU READ IN MARK 16:9, IT SAYS,
00:23:01.84\00:23:08.75
'WHEN HE AROSE EARLY ON
THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK, HE
00:23:08.78\00:23:12.09
APPEARED FIRST TO MARY
MAGDALENE, WHICH LEADS US TO THE
00:23:12.12\00:23:15.82
NEXT POINT: JESUS IS NOW -
OR MARY IS NOW AT JESUS' FEET
00:23:15.86\00:23:20.70
IN SONG. NOW THINK
ABOUT THAT: OF ALL THE
00:23:20.73\00:23:24.13
PEOPLE THAT JESUS COULD
HAVE CHOSEN TO SHARE THE GOOD
00:23:24.17\00:23:26.77
NEWS, WHY WOULD HE PICK MARY?
PETER HAD BEEN TO THE TOMB.
00:23:26.80\00:23:32.14
MAYBE HIS OWN
MOTHER HAD BEEN THERE.
00:23:32.17\00:23:34.11
JOHN HAD BEEN THERE
- THE BELOVED DISCIPLE.
00:23:34.14\00:23:36.95
HE WAITS UNTIL THEY'RE ALL GONE
AND THIS PERSON THAT EVERYBODY
00:23:36.98\00:23:40.15
FIGURED WAS AN OUTCAST FROM
SOCIETY, HE REVEALS HIMSELF TO
00:23:40.18\00:23:45.89
HER. YOU KNOW,
IF I WAS THE LORD,
00:23:45.92\00:23:49.16
I WOULD HAVE ORCHESTRATED
THE RESURRECTION DIFFERENTLY.
00:23:49.19\00:23:52.36
I WOULD HAVE HAD JESUS, LIKE,
FIRST APPEAR TO PILATE AND SAY,
00:23:52.39\00:23:57.43
'NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK?'
00:23:57.47\00:23:58.83
(LAUGHTER) THOSE ROMAN SOLDIERS
DIDN'T DO A VERY GOOD JOB
00:23:58.87\00:24:03.74
KEEPING ME IN ORDER' - YOU KNOW,
BETTER YET, I WOULD HAVE GONE TO
00:24:03.77\00:24:05.51
THE SANHEDRIN AND THEN GONE
TO CAIPHAS AND ANNAS, THE HIGH
00:24:05.54\00:24:08.14
PRIESTS AND SAID, 'SO, YOU
DIDN'T THINK I WAS THE SON OF
00:24:08.18\00:24:10.88
GOD? NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK?'
00:24:10.91\00:24:12.48
JUST LOOK AT THEM, YOU
KNOW, JUST WATCH THEM SHAKE.
00:24:12.51\00:24:15.28
JESUS DOES THINGS DIFFERENTLY.
HE PICKED SOMEONE THAT WAS
00:24:15.32\00:24:19.92
CONSIDERED THE
WEAKEST OF THE WEAK.
00:24:19.95\00:24:22.16
THE LORD, WHEN HE TURNED THE
WORLD UPSIDE-DOWN, IT SAYS, 'NOT
00:24:22.19\00:24:25.53
MANY WISE, NOT MANY NOBLE, BUT
HE TAKES PEOPLE THAT HAVE SIMPLE
00:24:25.56\00:24:30.17
LOVE.' HE DOESN'T DO
THINGS LIKE YOU AND I DO.
00:24:30.20\00:24:34.70
HE TAKES HUMBLE MEANS. AND
THE LORD THEN USED MARY AND
00:24:34.74\00:24:38.24
GAVE HER THE GREATEST MESSAGE IN
THE WORLD. HE SAID, 'I WANT YOU
00:24:38.27\00:24:41.94
TO GO' - WHAT IS THE
CHURCH SUPPOSED TO DO?
00:24:41.98\00:24:44.51
FIRST WE SEE HER COMING TO JESUS
IN THE TEMPLE IN REPENTANCE.
00:24:44.55\00:24:48.12
IN THE END SHE'S GOING
WITH A SONG IN HER HEART.
00:24:48.15\00:24:50.35
THIS IS THE LAST TIME
MARY APPEARS IN THE BIBLE.
00:24:50.39\00:24:52.82
THE LAST TIME YOU SEE HER, SHE
IS RUNNING TO TELL OTHERS THAT
00:24:52.85\00:24:55.86
JESUS IS ALIVE. HE
COMMISSIONS HER WITH THE GOOD
00:24:55.89\00:24:58.66
NEWS TO GO TELL PEOPLE ABOUT THE
RESURRECTION. AND THIS IS WHAT
00:24:58.69\00:25:03.37
THE CHURCH IS SUPPOSED TO DO.
HERE YOU SEE THE SEVEN POINTS
00:25:03.40\00:25:06.47
I'VE JUST GIVEN YOU. 1)
SHE'S AT HIS FEET WEEPING IN
00:25:06.50\00:25:08.77
THE TEMPLE FOR
FORGIVENESS OF SINS.
00:25:08.80\00:25:11.37
2) SHE'S AT HIS FEET PRAYING FOR
HER DEAD BROTHERS AND SISTERS -
00:25:11.41\00:25:14.74
FOR RESURRECTION
- AND JESUS DOES IT.
00:25:14.78\00:25:17.28
3) AT HIS FEET LEARNING
AND LISTENING - DEVOTIONS.
00:25:17.31\00:25:20.32
4) AT HIS FEET GIVING.
5) AT HIS FEET BEHOLDING
00:25:20.35\00:25:22.98
HIM ON HIS CROSS. 6)
AT HIS FEET IN SERVICE.
00:25:23.02\00:25:25.62
7) AT HIS FEET WORSHIPING
AND PROCLAIMING HIM AS THE RISEN
00:25:25.65\00:25:29.16
SAVIOR. >> AMEN.
00:25:29.19\00:25:31.53
>> YOU KNOW, IF THE LORD CAN USE
MARY - IF COULD FORGIVE MARY, HE
00:25:31.56\00:25:34.73
CAN DO THAT FOR US, BUT ALL OF
US ARE LIKE MARY. ALL OF US NEED
00:25:34.73\00:25:37.83
TO EXPERIENCE THOSE SEVEN POINTS
- TIME SERVING, LISTENING,
00:25:37.87\00:25:44.27
PRAYING, WORSHIPING,
PROCLAIMING AT JESUS' FEET.
00:25:44.31\00:25:48.71
AND IT BEGINS BY COMING IN
SORROW AND PRESENTING OURSELVES.
00:25:48.74\00:25:51.88
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT OUR SINS
ARE, HE IS IN THE BUSINESS OF
00:25:51.91\00:25:54.95
SAVING US FROM OUR SINS.
DO YOU BELIEVE THAT, FRIENDS?
