>> THIS PRESENTATION IS
BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE FRIENDS OF
00:00:02.50\00:00:04.43
THE AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY.
00:00:04.57\00:00:06.27
>> 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
00:00:16.44\00:00:21.62
HIS FACE AND BETRAYED
HIM. MARY WAS CONTENT TO KISS
00:00:21.65\00:00:25.39
THE 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
00:00:36.10\00:00:39.93
A 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
00:00:57.15\00:01:01.39
A 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
00:04:04.41\00:04:09.71
THE 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
00:04:23.26\00:04:25.43
IN 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
00:07:03.99\00:07:07.56
OF 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
00:07:22.00\00:07:24.57
TO 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
00:10:25.12\00:10:28.56
THE 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\00:11:32.25
ONES OR SOMEONE THAT YOU WANT TO
HAVE LIFE, YOU MUST BE PATIENT.

DON'T GIVE UP. KEEP PRAYING.
00:12:28.18\00:12:31.18
THEY SAID, 'JESUS,
WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?'
00:12:31.21\00:12:33.68
I KNOW LADIES THAT HAVE
PRAYED FOR THEIR HUSBANDS LIKE
00:12:33.72\00:12:38.35
20 YEARS, THAT THEY'D
COME TO THE LORD - OR LONGER.
00:12:38.39\00:12:42.02
PARENTS THAT HAVE PRAYED FOR
THEIR CHILDREN - 40 - 50 YEARS -
00:12:42.06\00:12:46.56
AND THEN GOD WORKS A MIRACLE.
I'VE KNOW PEOPLE THAT HAVE COME
00:12:46.59\00:12:48.60
TO THE LORD YEARS AFTER THEIR
PARENTS WERE DEAD AND I THINK
00:12:48.63\00:12:51.20
THAT GOD FINALLY MADE A
WITHDRAWAL ON THE PRAYERS THE
00:12:51.23\00:12:53.54
PARENTS HAD STORED IN HEAVEN,
THAT THEY MIGHT FIND LIFE.
00:12:53.57\00:12:57.51
AND THOSE PARENTS ARE GOING
TO BE VERY HAPPY - THEY WENT
00:12:57.54\00:12:59.31
TO THEIR GRAVE THINKING
THEIR CHILDREN WERE LOST.
00:12:59.34\00:13:01.44
IN THE RESURRECTION
THEY'RE GOING TO SAY, 'HOW'D YOU
00:13:01.48\00:13:02.84
GET HERE?'
(LAUGHTER) AND THE ANGELS ARE
00:13:02.88\00:13:06.58
GOING TO SAY, 'YOU KNOW
ALL THOSE PRAYERS YOU PRAYED?
00:13:06.61\00:13:08.75
THEY WERE COMPOUNDING INTEREST
AND GOD DID SOMETHING WITH IT.'
00:13:08.78\00:13:13.29
SO WE NEED TO SPEND
TIME BELIEVING AND PRAYING.
00:13:13.32\00:13:16.76
THE REASON JESUS CAME INTO
THIS WORLD IS TO SAVE THE LOST.
00:13:16.79\00:13:19.76
NOTHING IS MORE IMPORTANT THAT
PRAYING FOR THE LOST AND WE ARE
00:13:19.79\00:13:22.03
SURROUNDED BY BROTHERS
AND SISTERS THAT ARE DEAD IN
00:13:22.06\00:13:24.40
TRESPASSES AND SINS.
SO THE CHURCH, LIKE MARY,
00:13:24.43\00:13:28.14
NEEDS TO BE DOING THAT.
THEN WE NEED TO SPEND SOME TIME
00:13:28.17\00:13:32.01
AT JESUS' FEET IN SACRIFICE.
AND THIS IS A PLACE WHERE MARY
00:13:32.04\00:13:36.75
REALLY SHINES. YOU CAN FIND THIS
STORY - AND THEY GIVE LITTLE
00:13:36.78\00:13:40.55
PERSPECTIVES THAT ARE DIFFERENT.
IN THE GOSPEL OF JOHN CHAPTER
00:13:40.58\00:13:42.95
12, IT'S CALLED
THE DINNER IN BETHANY .
00:13:42.98\00:13:45.42
IN MARK CHAPTER 14, IN LUKE
CHAPTER 7 - I THINK I'M GOING TO
00:13:45.45\00:13:49.52
GO TO LUKE'S VERSION IN LUKE
CHAPTER 7, VERSE 36 - IT SAYS,
00:13:49.56\00:13:55.50
"THEN ONE OF THE PHARISEES
ASKED HIM TO EAT WITH HIM.
00:13:55.53\00:13:58.53
AND HE WENT TO THE PHARISEE'S
HOUSE, AND SAT DOWN TO EAT.
00:13:58.57\00:14:03.14
AND BEHOLD, A WOMAN IN THE CITY
WHO WAS A SINNER, WHEN SHE KNEW
00:14:03.17\00:14:06.74
THAT JESUS SAT AT THE TABLE IN
THE PHARISEE'S HOUSE, BROUGHT AN
00:14:06.78\00:14:11.01
ALABASTER FLASK OF FRAGRANT OIL,
AND STOOD AT HIS FEET BEHIND HIM
00:14:11.05\00:14:15.85
WEEPING; AND SHE BEGAN TO WASH
HIS FEET WITH HER TEARS, AND
00:14:15.88\00:14:19.79
WIPED THEM WITH THE HAIR OF HER
HEAD;" - THAT'S A WOMAN'S GLORY
00:14:19.82\00:14:21.56
IS HER HAIR. THIS
IS A SYMBOL OF COMPLETE
00:14:21.59\00:14:23.99
SUBMISSION - AT HIS FEET,
CRYING, ANOINTING, KISSING HIS
00:14:24.03\00:14:28.60
FEET - AND THE
FRAGRANT OIL FILLED THE HOUSE.
00:14:28.63\00:14:32.73
AND SIMON, IT TELLS US THAT HE'S
CALLED 'SIMON THE LEPER' IN THE
00:14:32.77\00:14:37.54
OTHER GOSPELS - HE WAS A
PHARISEE WHO JESUS HEALED FROM
00:14:37.57\00:14:41.01
LEPROSY AND HE HAS THIS FEAST
IN BETHANY - PROBABLY THE FEAST
00:14:41.04\00:14:44.45
THAT MARTHA WAS RUSTLING AROUND
AND GETTING READY FOR - HAS THIS
00:14:44.48\00:14:48.08
FEAST IN BETHANY TO HONOR
JESUS AND JESUS COMES AND WHEN
00:14:48.12\00:14:51.49
THEY SEE MARY, WHO HAD A BAD
REPUTATION IN TOWN, AND JESUS
00:14:51.52\00:14:55.92
IS LETTING HER TOUCH HIM.
SIMON SAYS WITHIN HIMSELF, "THIS
00:14:55.96\00:15:01.26
MAN, IF HE WERE A PROPHET,
WOULD KNOW WHO AND WHAT MANNER
00:15:01.30\00:15:04.77
OF WOMAN THIS IS WHO'S TOUCHING
HIM, FOR SHE IS A SINNER."
00:15:04.80\00:15:09.07
THERE YOU HAVE IT.
00:15:09.10\00:15:10.64
THERE'S NO QUESTION ABOUT
WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT MARY.
00:15:10.67\00:15:12.94
HE, EVIDENTLY, THOUGHT SHE
WAS A BIGGER SINNER THAN HE WAS.
00:15:12.97\00:15:16.08
"AND JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID
TO HIM, 'SIMON, I HAVE SOMETHING
00:15:16.11\00:15:19.88
TO SAY TO YOU.'" HE SAID,
"'MASTER, SAY ON.' 'THERE WAS A
00:15:19.91\00:15:22.82
CERTAIN CREDITOR WHO HAD TWO
DEBTORS. ONE OWED FIVE HUNDRED
00:15:22.85\00:15:26.39
DENARII, AND THE OTHER FIFTY.
AND WHEN THEY HAD NOTHING WITH
00:15:26.42\00:15:29.59
WHICH TO REPAY, HE
FREELY FORGAVE THEM BOTH.
00:15:29.62\00:15:32.63
TELL ME, THEREFORE, WHICH
OF THEM WILL LOVE HIM MORE?'
00:15:32.66\00:15:36.26
SIMON ANSWERED AND SAID, 'I
SUPPOSE THE ONE WHOM HE FORGAVE
00:15:36.30\00:15:38.67
MORE.' AND HE SAID TO HIM, 'YOU
HAVE RIGHTLY JUDGED.' THEN HE
00:15:38.70\00:15:41.77
TURNED TO THE WOMAN AND SAID TO
SIMON, DO YOU SEE THIS WOMAN?'"
00:15:41.80\00:15:43.87
- EVERYONE SAW THE WOMAN.
THEY COULD SMELL WHAT SHE HAD
00:15:43.91\00:15:46.57
DONE ALL THROUGH THE HOUSE.
"'...DO YOU SEE THIS WOMAN?
00:15:46.61\00:15:49.61
I ENTERED YOUR HOUSE; YOU GAVE
ME NO WATER FOR MY FEET,'" -
00:15:49.64\00:15:52.21
WHICH WAS THE CUSTOMARY, POLITE
THING TO DO - "'BUT SHE HAS
00:15:52.25\00:15:57.95
WASHED MY FEET WITH HER TEARS
AND WIPED THEM WITH THE HAIR
00:15:57.99\00:16:00.16
OF HER HEAD. YOU
GAVE ME NO KISS, BUT THIS
00:16:00.19\00:16:03.66
WOMAN HAS NOT CEASED TO KISS MY
FEET SINCE THE TIME I CAME IN.
00:16:03.69\00:16:07.76
YOU DID NOT ANOINT MY HEAD WITH
OIL, BUT THIS WOMAN HAS ANOINTED
00:16:07.76\00:16:10.67
MY FEET WITH FRAGRANT OIL.
THEREFORE I SAY TO YOU, HER
00:16:10.70\00:16:14.77
SINS, WHICH ARE MANY,'" - HE'S
NOT CONTESTING THAT - SHE WAS
00:16:14.80\00:16:19.01
A BIG SINNER - "...'HER SINS,
WHICH ARE MANY, ARE FORGIVEN,'"
00:16:19.04\00:16:22.54
- ISN'T IT GOOD TO KNOW THAT
JESUS CAN FORGIVE MANY SINS?
00:16:22.58\00:16:24.88
>> AMEN, >> AND
THEN GO - CHRIST GOES ON
00:16:24.91\00:16:27.78
TO SAY, "...FOR SHE LOVED MUCH
- HER SINS, WHICH ARE MANY, ARE
00:16:27.82\00:16:32.95
FORGIVEN, FOR SHE LOVED MUCH.
BUT TO WHOM LITTLE IS FORGIVEN,
00:16:32.99\00:16:39.19
THE SAME LOVES LITTLE.'" IS
IT SAFE TO UNDERSTAND HE WHO IS
00:16:39.23\00:16:43.03
FORGIVEN MUCH LOVES
MUCH? WHO IS NOT FORGIVEN MUCH?
00:16:43.06\00:16:47.84
SIMON, EVIDENTLY, THOUGHT THAT
SHE WAS A BIG SINNER AND HE WAS
00:16:47.87\00:16:50.34
A LITTLE SINNER. CHEER
UP, YOU'RE ALL BIG SINNERS.
00:16:50.37\00:16:53.14
(LAUGHTER) THERE ARE NO
LITTLE SINNERS OUT THERE.
00:16:53.17\00:16:56.34
YOU ALL QUALIFY, BECAUSE NO
MATTER WHAT YOU THINK YOUR LIST
00:16:56.38\00:17:00.48
OF SINS ARE, WHAT YOUR
RECORD LOOKS LIKE, YOUR SINS
00:17:00.52\00:17:02.98
WERE ENOUGH TO PUT JESUS
ON THE CROSS ALL BY YOURSELF.
00:17:03.02\00:17:06.89
EVERYTHING THAT JESUS WENT
THROUGH, HE WOULD HAVE HAD TO GO
00:17:06.92\00:17:09.19
THROUGH FOR YOU.
SO YOU DO QUALIFY.
00:17:09.22\00:17:13.76
THE THING IS, DO YOU KNOW
HOW MUCH YOU'VE BEEN FORGIVEN?
00:17:13.80\00:17:18.00
HE THAT KNOWS HOW MUCH THEY'VE
BEEN FORGIVEN LOVES MUCH.
00:17:18.03\00:17:24.27
AND YOU KNOW HOW YOU CAN TELL
HOW MUCH YOU'VE BEEN FORGIVEN?
00:17:24.31\00:17:26.84
HOW MUCH DID IT COST
TO BUY YOUR FORGIVENESS?
00:17:26.88\00:17:31.08
THEY SAY, 'HOW MUCH
IS SOMETHING WORTH?'
00:17:31.11\00:17:33.15
IT'S WORTH WHAT
SOMEONE'LL PAY FOR IT.
00:17:33.18\00:17:35.95
HOW MUCH WAS PAID
FOR YOUR REDEMPTION?
00:17:35.98\00:17:38.75
QUITE A BIT. THAT'S
HOW MUCH YOU'RE WORTH.
00:17:38.79\00:17:43.46
HE THAT KNOWS HOW MUCH THEY'RE
FORGIVEN - IF YOU UNDERSTAND
00:17:43.49\00:17:47.10
HOW MUCH JESUS PAID FOR
YOU - YOU WILL LOVE MUCH.
00:17:47.13\00:17:50.10
AND HE SAID TO THE
WOMAN, "YOUR SINS ARE FORGIVEN."
00:17:50.13\00:17:53.87
WOULDN'T YOU LIKE FOR
HIM TO SAY THAT TO US?
00:17:53.90\00:17:55.94
HERE SHE IS, SHE'S MAKING
THIS GREAT SACRIFICE - SHE SPENT
00:17:55.97\00:17:58.37
ENOUGH MONEY TO BUY A GIFT FOR
A KING AND SHE POURS IT OUT ON
00:17:58.41\00:18:01.94
JESUS. YOU KNOW,
SHE HEARD JESUS SAY,
00:18:01.98\00:18:04.85
SEVERAL TIMES, CHRIST, BEFORE
HE GOES TO THE CROSS, HE SAYS TO
00:18:04.88\00:18:08.45
THE DISCIPLES,
'I'M GOING TO JERUSALEM.
00:18:08.48\00:18:11.15
I'M GOING TO BE BETRAYED
INTO THE HANDS OF SINNERS.
00:18:11.19\00:18:13.99
I'LL BE CRUCIFIED.
00:18:14.02\00:18:15.82
I'LL BE BEATEN AND JUDGED
AND I'LL RISE THE THIRD DAY.'
00:18:15.86\00:18:19.19
AND THE DISCIPLES
SAID, 'NO, NO, LORD.
00:18:19.23\00:18:20.66
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
NO - DON'T - NONE OF THAT!'
00:18:20.70\00:18:22.80
THE DISCIPLES WEREN'T LISTENING.
CHRIST SAID IT SO OFTEN THAT
00:18:22.83\00:18:25.53
EVEN HIS ENEMIES REMEMBERED IT.
THEY WENT TO PILATE AND SAID,
00:18:25.57\00:18:28.27
'WE HEARD THIS DECEIVER SAY THAT
HE'D RISE AFTER THREE DAYS.'
00:18:28.30\00:18:31.21
HIS ENEMIES HEARD
IT. MARY HEARD IT TOO.
00:18:31.24\00:18:36.24
AND JESUS SAID, 'SHE'S COME
TO ANOINT ME BEFORE MY BURIAL.
00:18:36.28\00:18:40.85
WE TYPICALLY GIVE GIFTS TO
PEOPLE AFTER THEY'RE - YOU KNOW,
00:18:40.88\00:18:43.42
FLOWERS AT THEIR
FUNERAL OR SOMETHING.
00:18:43.45\00:18:47.36
AND EVERYONE SAYS THESE
WONDERFUL THINGS AFTER THEY'RE
00:18:47.39\00:18:48.69
GONE THAT THEY NEVER
SAID WHEN THEY WERE ALIVE.
00:18:48.72\00:18:51.36
SOME OF THEM AREN'T EVEN TRUE
AND THEY STILL SAY WONDERFUL
00:18:51.39\00:18:53.96
THINGS, RIGHT?
MARY WANTED TO SHOW HER
00:18:54.00\00:18:58.30
LOVE WHILE JESUS WAS ALIVE.
AND IF YOU WANT THE LORD TO KNOW
00:18:58.33\00:19:02.14
THAT YOU LOVE HIM, DO
IT WHILE HE'S BLESSING YOU.
00:19:02.17\00:19:08.24
SHE GAVE A GENEROUS GIFT.
DO YOU THINK SHE EVER REGRETTED
00:19:08.28\00:19:11.41
MAKING THAT SACRIFICE FOR JESUS?
NEXT, WHAT WE FIND, IS THAT MARY
00:19:11.45\00:19:17.05
IS - SHE'S AT JESUS FEET
NOW IN SURRENDER AT THE CROSS.
00:19:17.09\00:19:22.56
NOW THIS IS A FASCINATING
PICTURE BECAUSE, YOU KNOW,
00:19:22.59\00:19:27.40
THE APOSTLES, IN THE GARDEN OF
GETHSEMANE, THEY WERE VERY BOLD
00:19:27.40\00:19:30.77
AND, AT THE LAST SUPPER, PETER
SAID, 'THOUGH ALL MEN FORSAKE
00:19:30.80\00:19:33.80
THEE, I'LL NOT FORSAKE YOU.'
AND WHEN THE MOB FIRST CAME TO
00:19:33.84\00:19:37.21
ARREST JESUS, PETER PULLED OUT
A SWORD, BUT THEY ALL SCATTERED
00:19:37.24\00:19:41.18
AND RAN. AND
THEN, AT THE CROSS, IT
00:19:41.21\00:19:44.38
SAYS THAT THEY STOOD AFAR OFF
BEHOLDING THESE THINGS, IN THE
00:19:44.41\00:19:47.82
GOSPEL OF LUKE, BUT IF YOU
GO TO JOHN CHAPTER 19, VERSE 25,
00:19:47.85\00:19:52.85
"NOW THERE STOOD BY THE CROSS
OF JESUS HIS MOTHER, AND HIS
00:19:52.89\00:19:59.19
MOTHER'S SISTER, MARY THE WIFE
OF CLOPAS, AND MARY MAGDALENE."
00:19:59.23\00:20:04.93
IT'S THE DEVOTED WOMEN WHO WERE
ACTUALLY THERE AT THE CROSS.
00:20:04.97\00:20:08.74
THE OTHERS ARE STANDING,
WATCHING AT A DISTANCE.
00:20:08.77\00:20:10.54
THEY'RE AFRAID, BUT THE
WOMEN DON'T CARE WHAT'S GOING TO
00:20:10.57\00:20:15.04
HAPPEN TO THEM. THEY'RE WILLING
- THEY'RE THINKING ABOUT JESUS'
00:20:15.08\00:20:19.18
SUFFERING. THEY WANT
JESUS TO SEE THAT THEY CARE.
00:20:19.21\00:20:21.55
THEY'RE BEING SYMPATHETIC AND
EMPATHETIC AND THEY'RE SHOWING
00:20:21.58\00:20:24.99
THEIR LOVE THERE AT
THE FOOT OF THE CROSS.
00:20:25.02\00:20:27.96
YOU KNOW, HERE WE SEE MARY
AT JESUS' FEET AGAIN, DON'T WE?
00:20:27.99\00:20:32.49
WEEPING, NO DOUBT, AT HIS FEET,
BEHOLDING HIM FINALLY PAYING THE
00:20:32.53\00:20:37.67
DEBT FOR WHAT HE HAD PROMISED
EARLIER WHEN HE HAD SAID,
00:20:37.70\00:20:41.07
'GO AND SIN NO MORE.
00:20:41.10\00:20:42.80
I DON'T CONDEMN YOU.' ALL OF US,
LIKE MARY, NEED TO SPEND TIME AT
00:20:42.84\00:20:47.28
JESUS' FEET BEHOLDING HIM AS OUR
SACRIFICE. HOW MANY SONGS ARE
00:20:47.31\00:20:52.38
WRITTEN ABOUT THE CROSS?
'AT THE CROSS, AT THE CROSS,
00:20:52.41\00:20:55.55
WHERE I FIRST SAW THE LIGHT'
'BENEATH THE CROSS OF JESUS I
00:20:55.58\00:20:58.75
WILL TAKE MY STAND' 'JESUS KEEP
ME NEAR THE CROSS' - WHY DID ALL
00:20:58.79\00:21:02.29
THESE HYMN WRITERS
WRITE ABOUT THE CROSS?
00:21:02.32\00:21:04.63
BECAUSE THE CROSS IS THE AXLE
ON WHICH THE GOSPEL ROTATES.
00:21:04.66\00:21:09.16
IT IS THE VERY FULCRUM ON
WHICH THE WHOLE BIBLE PIVOTS.
00:21:09.20\00:21:13.54
IT'S AT THE CROSS YOU SEE
CHRIST'S POWER OF LOVE AND IT'S
00:21:13.57\00:21:18.74
AT THE CROSS YOU CAN EVEN
SEE THE DEVIL'S LOVE FOR POWER.
00:21:18.77\00:21:21.74
YOU SEE THE GREAT CONTRAST
BETWEEN GOD EMPTYING HIMSELF
00:21:21.78\00:21:25.41
AT THE CROSS AND YOU SEE THE
DIABOLICAL VILLAIN - THE ARCH
00:21:25.45\00:21:30.45
FIEND - THE DEVIL, HOW
HE'S TRYING TO EXTRACT ALL
00:21:30.49\00:21:33.66
THE SUFFERING.
JESUS IS SAYING, 'FATHER,
00:21:33.69\00:21:35.76
FORGIVE THEM.' AND IT'S AT THE
CROSS WE SEE HIS LOVE FOR US.
00:21:35.79\00:21:41.13
NEXT, YOU SEE #6 -
MARY IN SERVICE AT THE TOMB.
00:21:41.16\00:21:47.20
WHEN THEY TOOK HIS BODY DOWN
FROM THE CROSS, THE WOMEN WENT
00:21:47.24\00:21:51.54
ALONG TO WATCH AFTER HIM.
MARK CHAPTER 15, VERSE 45,
00:21:51.57\00:21:58.15
"SO WHEN HE FOUND OUT
FROM THE CENTURION, HE GRANTED
00:21:58.18\00:22:00.45
THE BODY TO JOSEPH.
THEN HE BOUGHT FINE LINEN,
00:22:00.48\00:22:03.59
TOOK HIM DOWN, AND
WRAPPED HIM IN THE LINEN.
00:22:03.62\00:22:05.59
AND HE LAID HIM IN A SEPULCHER
WHICH HAD BEEN HEWN OUT
00:22:05.62\00:22:07.82
OF THE ROCK, AND ROLLED
A STONE AGAINST THE DOOR OF
00:22:07.86\00:22:10.39
THE SEPULCHER. AND
MARY MAGDALENE AND MARY
00:22:10.43\00:22:13.70
THE MOTHER OF JOSES
OBSERVED WHERE HE WAS LAID."
00:22:13.73\00:22:16.46
THAT MEANS THEY OVERSAW THE
CARE OF HIS BODY. YOU SEE THE
00:22:16.50\00:22:20.44
DEVOTION EVEN THERE. AND I - YOU
KNOW, BEFORE, THEY DIDN'T HAVE
00:22:20.47\00:22:24.24
TIME TO ANOINT HIS BODY. THE
SABBATH WAS APPROACHING AND THAT
00:22:24.27\00:22:28.24
WAS VERY SACRED TO
JESUS AND THE APOSTLES.
00:22:28.28\00:22:30.65
AND IT SAYS THEY WENT HOME
AND PREPARED SPICES AND KEPT THE
00:22:30.68\00:22:33.42
SABBATH ACCORDING TO THE
COMMANDMENT - IN LUKE CHAPTER 53
00:22:33.45\00:22:37.15
- BUT BEFORE THEY DID THAT, THEY
DID WRAP HIM, BECAUSE WHEN JESUS
00:22:37.19\00:22:40.22
ROSE, THERE WERE
WRAPPINGS THAT HE SET ASIDE.
00:22:40.26\00:22:43.06
WHO DO YOU THINK
WRAPPED HIS FEET?
00:22:43.09\00:22:45.89
CAN'T PROVE IT, BUT I JUST
PICTURE MARY SAYING, 'LET ME
00:22:45.93\00:22:50.67
WRAP HIS FEET.' AND THE OTHER
MARY WRAPPED THE TOP END AND -
00:22:50.70\00:22:56.47
YOU CAN READ ALSO ABOUT THAT
IN LUKE CHAPTER 53 - THE WOMEN,
00:22:56.50\00:22:59.74
ALSO, THEY CAME WITH HIM FROM
GALILEE - FOLLOWED AFTER - THEY
00:22:59.77\00:23:02.61
BEHELD THE TOMB AND HOW
HIS BODY WAS LAID. YOU KNOW,
00:23:02.64\00:23:06.82
IT'S IMPORTANT TO SIT AT HIS
FEET, BUT DOING WHAT MARTHA DOES
00:23:06.85\00:23:09.55
IS ALSO IMPORTANT AND THAT'S
SERVICE. BUT YOU NOTICE THE LOVE
00:23:09.58\00:23:12.35
AND THE LISTENING
COMES BEFORE THE SERVICE.
00:23:12.39\00:23:16.09
NOW IT'S INTERESTING THAT, WHEN
YOU READ IN MARK 16:9, IT SAYS,
00:23:16.12\00:23:23.00
'WHEN HE AROSE EARLY ON
THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK,
00:23:23.03\00:23:26.33
HE APPEARED FIRST TO MARY
MAGDALENE, WHICH LEADS US TO THE
00:23:26.37\00:23:30.07
NEXT POINT: JESUS IS NOW -
OR MARY IS NOW AT JESUS' FEET
00:23:30.11\00:23:34.94
IN SONG. NOW THINK
ABOUT THAT: OF ALL THE
00:23:34.98\00:23:38.41
PEOPLE THAT JESUS COULD
HAVE CHOSEN TO SHARE THE GOOD
00:23:38.45\00:23:41.05
NEWS, WHY WOULD HE PICK MARY?
PETER HAD BEEN TO THE TOMB.
00:23:41.08\00:23:46.42
MAYBE HIS OWN
MOTHER HAD BEEN THERE.
00:23:46.45\00:23:48.39
JOHN HAD BEEN THERE
- THE BELOVED DISCIPLE.
00:23:48.42\00:23:51.23
HE WAITS UNTIL THEY'RE ALL GONE
AND THIS PERSON THAT EVERYBODY
00:23:51.26\00:23:54.40
FIGURED WAS AN OUTCAST
FROM SOCIETY, HE REVEALS HIMSELF
00:23:54.46\00:24:00.20
TO HER. YOU KNOW,
IF I WAS THE LORD,
00:24:00.24\00:24:03.47
I WOULD HAVE ORCHESTRATED
THE RESURRECTION DIFFERENTLY.
00:24:03.51\00:24:06.68
I WOULD HAVE HAD JESUS, LIKE,
FIRST APPEAR TO PILATE AND SAY,
00:24:06.71\00:24:11.78
'NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK?'
00:24:11.81\00:24:13.18
(LAUGHTER) THOSE ROMAN SOLDIERS
DIDN'T DO A VERY GOOD JOB
00:24:13.21\00:24:18.02
KEEPING ME IN ORDER' - YOU KNOW,
BETTER YET, I WOULD HAVE GONE TO
00:24:18.05\00:24:19.89
THE SANHEDRIN AND THEN GONE
TO CAIPHAS AND ANNAS, THE HIGH
00:24:19.92\00:24:22.42
PRIESTS AND SAID, 'SO,
YOU DIDN'T THINK I WAS THE SON
00:24:22.46\00:24:25.16
OF GOD? NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK?'
00:24:25.19\00:24:26.76
JUST LOOK AT THEM, YOU
KNOW, JUST WATCH THEM SHAKE.
00:24:26.80\00:24:29.53
JESUS DOES THINGS DIFFERENTLY.
HE PICKED SOMEONE THAT WAS
00:24:29.56\00:24:34.17
CONSIDERED THE
WEAKEST OF THE WEAK.
00:24:34.20\00:24:36.40
THE LORD, WHEN HE TURNED THE
WORLD UPSIDE-DOWN, IT SAYS, 'NOT
00:24:36.44\00:24:39.77
MANY WISE, NOT MANY NOBLE, BUT
HE TAKES PEOPLE THAT HAVE SIMPLE
00:24:39.81\00:24:44.45
LOVE.' HE DOESN'T DO
THINGS LIKE YOU AND I DO.
00:24:44.48\00:24:48.98
HE TAKES HUMBLE MEANS. AND
THE LORD THEN USED MARY AND
00:24:49.02\00:24:52.52
GAVE HER THE GREATEST MESSAGE IN
THE WORLD. HE SAID, 'I WANT YOU
00:24:52.55\00:24:56.22
TO GO' - WHAT IS THE
CHURCH SUPPOSED TO DO?
00:24:56.26\00:24:58.79
FIRST WE SEE HER COMING TO JESUS
IN THE TEMPLE IN REPENTANCE.
00:24:58.83\00:25:02.43
IN THE END SHE'S GOING
WITH A SONG IN HER HEART.
00:25:02.46\00:25:04.67
THIS IS THE LAST TIME
MARY APPEARS IN THE BIBLE.
00:25:04.70\00:25:07.14
THE LAST TIME YOU SEE HER, SHE
IS RUNNING TO TELL OTHERS THAT
00:25:07.17\00:25:10.17
JESUS IS ALIVE. HE
COMMISSIONS HER WITH THE GOOD
00:25:10.21\00:25:12.97
NEWS TO GO TELL PEOPLE ABOUT THE
RESURRECTION. AND THIS IS WHAT
00:25:13.01\00:25:17.65
THE CHURCH IS SUPPOSED TO DO.
HERE YOU SEE THE SEVEN POINTS
00:25:17.68\00:25:20.75
I'VE JUST GIVEN YOU. 1)
SHE'S AT HIS FEET WEEPING IN
00:25:20.78\00:25:23.05
THE TEMPLE FOR
FORGIVENESS OF SINS.
00:25:23.08\00:25:25.65
2) SHE'S AT HIS FEET PRAYING FOR
HER DEAD BROTHERS AND SISTERS -
00:25:25.69\00:25:29.02
FOR RESURRECTION
- AND JESUS DOES IT.
00:25:29.06\00:25:31.56
3) AT HIS FEET LEARNING
AND LISTENING - DEVOTIONS.
00:25:31.59\00:25:34.56
4) AT HIS FEET GIVING.
5) AT HIS FEET BEHOLDING
00:25:34.60\00:25:37.23
HIM ON HIS CROSS. 6)
AT HIS FEET IN SERVICE.
00:25:37.27\00:25:39.87
7) AT HIS FEET WORSHIPING
AND PROCLAIMING HIM AS THE RISEN
00:25:39.90\00:25:43.41
SAVIOR. >> AMEN.
00:25:43.44\00:25:45.77
>> YOU KNOW, IF THE LORD CAN USE
MARY - IF COULD FORGIVE MARY, HE
00:25:45.81\00:25:48.98
CAN DO THAT FOR US, BUT ALL OF
US ARE LIKE MARY. ALL OF US NEED
00:25:49.01\00:25:52.11
TO EXPERIENCE THOSE SEVEN POINTS
- TIME SERVING, LISTENING,
00:25:52.15\00:25:58.55
PRAYING, WORSHIPING,
PROCLAIMING AT JESUS' FEET.
00:25:58.59\00:26:03.06
AND IT BEGINS BY COMING IN
SORROW AND PRESENTING OURSELVES.
00:26:03.09\00:26:06.23
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT OUR SINS
ARE, HE IS IN THE BUSINESS OF
00:26:06.26\00:26:09.13
SAVING US FROM OUR SINS.
DO YOU BELIEVE THAT, FRIENDS?
