During the end of His ministry,
00:00:01.40\00:00:02.80
Jesus arrived here
on the Mount of Olives.
00:00:02.80\00:00:05.33
Looked out over
Jerusalem and He began weeping,
00:00:05.33\00:00:09.23
"Oh, Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
00:00:09.23\00:00:10.86
how often would I
have gathered you,
00:00:10.86\00:00:12.40
as a mother hen
gathers her chicks
00:00:12.40\00:00:14.33
under her breast,
and you would not."
00:00:14.33\00:00:18.00
Jesus desired nothing less than
00:00:18.00\00:00:20.90
a wonderful relationship with
His children, with His people.
00:00:20.90\00:00:24.43
He called. He beckoned.
00:00:24.43\00:00:26.80
He yearned to have a fellowship
and friendship with them,
00:00:26.80\00:00:30.73
but they seemed
like they would not.
00:00:30.73\00:00:32.46
Right behind me is the
Russian Orthodox Church
00:01:07.13\00:01:09.36
there on the Mount of Olives.
00:01:09.36\00:01:11.00
You'll notice the
four smaller pinnacles.
00:01:11.00\00:01:13.20
Those represent
the gospel messages,
00:01:13.20\00:01:15.23
the four men of the gospel,
the taller one, Jesus Christ.
00:01:15.23\00:01:20.03
Jerusalem is a very sacred
and holy place to many faiths.
00:01:20.03\00:01:23.30
The Christians, the Muslims,
00:01:23.30\00:01:25.10
the Jewish people
even the Bahá'i faith.
00:01:25.10\00:01:28.50
Jerusalem the
capital city of Israel
00:01:28.50\00:01:30.63
has been the capital
of the Jewish Kingdom,
00:01:30.63\00:01:32.56
since about 1000 B.C.,
when King David captured it.
00:01:32.56\00:01:36.76
Since then, the
city has been captured
00:01:36.76\00:01:38.43
and recaptured many times.
00:01:38.43\00:01:41.50
Jerusalem is one of the oldest
inhabited cities in the world
00:01:41.50\00:01:44.90
and dates back to the
fourth millennium B.C.
00:01:44.90\00:01:48.00
Excavations have
revealed early Canaanite
00:01:48.00\00:01:50.70
and Hebrew settlements.
00:01:50.70\00:01:52.10
A wealth of Hebrew seals
00:01:52.10\00:01:53.66
and everyday
utensils have been found
00:01:53.66\00:01:56.30
as well as early streets
running from the Zion Gate
00:01:56.30\00:01:59.16
through the
restored Jewish border.
00:01:59.16\00:02:03.53
Jerusalem is a city of contrast
between the old and the new,
00:02:03.53\00:02:06.96
the sacred, the secular.
00:02:06.96\00:02:09.10
It is still a city of people
00:02:09.10\00:02:10.60
in need of renewed
touch of the master's hand.
00:02:10.60\00:02:15.46
This is the most recent wall
that surrounds Old Jerusalem.
00:02:15.46\00:02:18.66
I'm told that Suleiman,
00:02:18.66\00:02:20.06
the Turk
actually built this one.
00:02:20.06\00:02:22.10
Jerusalem has had many
walls built at many times.
00:02:22.10\00:02:24.80
I asked one local resident what,
00:02:24.80\00:02:26.96
how many times
it had been rebuilt.
00:02:26.96\00:02:28.40
He said, "Oh may
be even seven times.
00:02:28.40\00:02:30.80
But the most famous
was in A.D. 70 when Titus,
00:02:30.80\00:02:33.30
the General
destroyed everything."
00:02:33.30\00:02:37.26
It seems that the
walls of Jerusalem
00:02:37.26\00:02:39.13
are still under siege.
00:02:39.13\00:02:40.53
In 2002, there was a bulge
00:02:40.53\00:02:42.33
in the walls near
the Al-Aqsa mosque.
00:02:42.33\00:02:44.96
At the time it was expected
00:02:44.96\00:02:46.36
that more than
200,000 Muslim pilgrims
00:02:46.36\00:02:49.30
would visit the
mosque during Ramadan.
00:02:49.30\00:02:51.53
Engineers feared that
the walls would collapse
00:02:51.53\00:02:53.70
under the weight
of so many people.
00:02:53.70\00:02:56.10
Finally, in 2003,
after a lot of controversy,
00:02:56.10\00:02:59.60
the wall was repaired.
00:02:59.60\00:03:03.16
Immediately behind me is a wall
that is supporting the mosque.
00:03:03.16\00:03:06.56
It wasn't there
at the time of Jesus.
00:03:06.56\00:03:08.70
And during this
recent archaeological dig,
00:03:08.70\00:03:10.73
they found that this was
the main entrance to the temple.
00:03:10.73\00:03:13.60
But picture Jesus
walking up and down
00:03:13.60\00:03:16.13
these stairs preaching,
sharing the gospel message
00:03:16.13\00:03:18.90
with everyone around.
00:03:18.90\00:03:20.50
Tremendous time.
00:03:20.50\00:03:21.90
Imagine the
Festival of Tabernacles,
00:03:21.90\00:03:25.06
during that time
with everyone living
00:03:25.06\00:03:26.96
in their own little places
with bowels over them covered,
00:03:26.96\00:03:30.50
coming to the temple ceremony,
coming and hearing Jesus say,
00:03:30.50\00:03:34.06
"I am the water of
life, partake of me freely."
00:03:34.06\00:03:38.43
It's hard to imagine but that's
where it occurred is right here.
00:03:38.43\00:03:42.06
I understand--it's no
longer called the Wailing Wall.
00:03:49.66\00:03:52.80
No, it was never
called a Wailing Wall.
00:03:52.80\00:03:54.63
It was never
called that. No, it was--
00:03:54.63\00:03:57.56
it's the Western Wall
of the temple compound.
00:03:57.56\00:04:00.86
And it's written in the--
00:04:00.86\00:04:03.63
that the divine presence
never leaves this, this place.
00:04:03.63\00:04:07.83
This wall is such an
ancient piece of history.
00:04:07.83\00:04:11.80
That's why this
section called the Western Wall
00:04:11.80\00:04:14.70
is so important to these people,
00:04:14.70\00:04:16.86
because it is part of the
original wall of Jerusalem.
00:04:16.86\00:04:21.20
So they see this as a
tie to the past and a tie
00:04:21.20\00:04:25.03
to God when He was
blessing them so much.
00:04:25.03\00:04:28.30
And they don't believe
that the presence of God
00:04:28.30\00:04:30.10
has ever left
this location either.
00:04:30.10\00:04:31.86
No, no that's why there is
such an attraction to come back
00:04:31.86\00:04:35.40
to Jerusalem and
establish the temple again here.
00:04:35.40\00:04:39.93
That's why there
is so much conflict
00:04:39.93\00:04:41.53
among nations
politically as well.
00:04:41.53\00:04:45.73
Just on the
other side of the wall
00:04:45.73\00:04:47.13
you have the Muslim mosque.
00:04:47.13\00:04:48.86
That's right. Mm-hmm.
00:04:48.86\00:04:50.53
The Muslims and the
Jewish people are of course
00:04:50.53\00:04:53.50
the most in conflict but
there is a Christian quarter
00:04:53.50\00:04:57.90
and an Armenian quarter
here in Jerusalem as well.
00:04:57.90\00:05:00.80
And this one in 1948,
the Jordanians came in
00:05:00.80\00:05:03.63
virtually massacred everybody.
00:05:03.63\00:05:05.83
So it wasn't until was in 1967
that actually the Jewish people
00:05:05.83\00:05:10.96
were able to come back
here and again be at the wall.
00:05:10.96\00:05:14.46
And these
little slips they pray,
00:05:14.46\00:05:16.60
first they come and
they read their "The Bible"
00:05:16.60\00:05:19.46
and their prayer books
00:05:19.46\00:05:21.40
and because this is
such a special place.
00:05:21.40\00:05:24.10
It's that longing to
be in touch with the past
00:05:24.10\00:05:27.00
because they see God is
blessing them in the past.
00:05:27.00\00:05:30.56
And they're longing
to see that recovered.
00:05:30.56\00:05:33.70
They want to see the fulfillment
00:05:33.70\00:05:35.26
of all of those Old
Testament prophecies literally.
00:05:35.26\00:05:38.50
You know the location
of the temple is actually
00:05:38.50\00:05:40.36
about 20 feet down
or at least the areas
00:05:40.36\00:05:43.00
where Jesus probably walked
but, what an area of history.
00:05:43.00\00:05:46.56
That's right.
00:05:46.56\00:05:47.96
And then apparently this
is so significant to God.
00:05:47.96\00:05:51.16
He is still coming back
calls it the New Jerusalem.
00:05:51.16\00:05:53.60
That's true. Going to
bring it down to this area.
00:05:53.60\00:05:55.56
And that will be
great. We see stones here.
00:05:55.56\00:05:58.60
We'll see gold there.
00:05:58.60\00:06:00.46
Oh, I am looking
forward to that time.
00:06:00.46\00:06:02.26
That's for sure. Yeah.
00:06:02.26\00:06:04.90
As with any site
that's possibly sacred,
00:06:06.56\00:06:09.20
they built a church over it.
00:06:09.20\00:06:11.13
Matter of fact,
there is a church
00:06:11.13\00:06:12.53
and a Muslim owns
the key to the door,
00:06:12.53\00:06:14.80
but he lets the
Christians come in.
00:06:14.80\00:06:16.96
What is the site?
00:06:16.96\00:06:18.90
The site of the crucifixion,
00:06:18.90\00:06:20.30
the site of the
burial of Jesus Christ.
00:06:20.30\00:06:23.30
There is an area up in
behind that has the tomb,
00:06:23.30\00:06:27.26
the garden tomb apparently.
00:06:27.26\00:06:28.90
There is also a
slab where they laid Him.
00:06:28.90\00:06:31.20
But, you know, the
most exciting thing,
00:06:31.20\00:06:32.60
the thing that really
counts is He's not there.
00:06:32.60\00:06:35.30
The relics maybe there,
00:06:35.30\00:06:36.70
but Jesus Christ is not
there because He's risen.
00:06:36.70\00:06:39.56
That's the hope,
that's the desire and we look
00:06:39.56\00:06:41.76
forward to seeing
Jesus Christ very soon.
00:06:41.76\00:06:44.23
He's coming for
you. He's coming for me.
00:06:44.23\00:06:46.10
Tell me, where
you always Christians?
00:06:48.66\00:06:51.03
You say you're a pastor,
but where you always Christians?
00:06:51.03\00:06:53.93
No. No, we came to
church at different times.
00:06:53.93\00:06:58.40
But God helped us find
each other at the right time.
00:06:58.40\00:07:04.23
I came to Christ at 12 years old
00:07:04.23\00:07:06.46
I attended school
and played soccer.
00:07:06.46\00:07:08.73
As soon as I
started attending Church,
00:07:08.73\00:07:10.93
soccer became very distant.
00:07:10.93\00:07:13.86
We were watching
on TV a cartoon called
00:07:13.86\00:07:16.76
Super Buck and
Jesus became an interest.
00:07:16.76\00:07:20.26
In our mail box was an
invitation to a church.
00:07:20.26\00:07:23.30
We went and this
was the first time
00:07:23.30\00:07:26.03
we were introduced to a
church and to the Bible.
00:07:26.03\00:07:29.46
Because of this book, the
whole family started believing.
00:07:29.46\00:07:35.13
Mom, grandmother, his
father, and his brother,
00:07:35.13\00:07:39.16
even he became a follower.
00:07:39.16\00:07:41.70
His brother
actually became a pastor
00:07:41.70\00:07:44.60
at the same time as my husband.
00:07:44.60\00:07:47.93
And how about you?
00:07:47.93\00:07:49.33
Did you know Christ
all your life or no?
00:07:49.33\00:07:50.90
You said, you didn't.
00:07:50.90\00:07:52.30
What's your story
before you found Christ?
00:07:52.30\00:07:55.56
I came to God at 15 years old.
00:07:55.56\00:07:58.36
I was raised in
non-Christian family.
00:07:58.36\00:08:01.73
My girlfriend invite me
to come to church with her.
00:08:01.73\00:08:05.63
My third cousin
introduced me with her friend.
00:08:05.63\00:08:09.23
And she is the one who
invite me to her Church.
00:08:09.23\00:08:12.70
When I first went to
Church, I couldn't find Him.
00:08:12.70\00:08:16.00
But later, God helped me.
00:08:16.00\00:08:18.23
June 30th was 7 seven
years since I was baptized.
00:08:18.23\00:08:22.76
I love to serve God.
00:08:22.76\00:08:24.50
I just can't imagine my
life without praising the Lord.
00:08:24.50\00:08:28.50
I feel like there is no
point to live without God.
00:08:28.50\00:08:32.13
If you are not serving God,
00:08:32.13\00:08:34.10
why are you
living on this planet?
00:08:34.10\00:08:36.60
This is just my personal opinion
00:08:36.60\00:08:38.93
Here is another story of
hope from Adventist World Radio.
00:08:41.70\00:08:46.16
Duang lay wide awake
in his dark jail cell.
00:08:46.16\00:08:50.33
A Chinese man
imprisoned in Thailand.
00:08:50.33\00:08:52.83
He had no family or
friends to visit him.
00:08:52.83\00:08:56.03
Recently, Duang had begun
00:08:56.03\00:08:57.66
listening to the programs
of Adventist World Radio.
00:08:57.66\00:09:01.06
The message of
God's love and forgiveness
00:09:01.06\00:09:03.06
had so much appeal to him,
00:09:03.06\00:09:05.23
because he had
plenty to be forgiven off.
00:09:05.23\00:09:07.83
Forced to become a child
soldier in Burma when just 13,
00:09:07.83\00:09:11.73
Duang had
committed many terrible sins.
00:09:11.73\00:09:14.50
He escaped into Thailand.
00:09:14.50\00:09:16.46
But quickly wound up in jail.
00:09:16.46\00:09:19.13
Now alone in his
cell, Duang had ample time
00:09:19.13\00:09:23.10
to wonder would
God really forgive him.
00:09:23.10\00:09:25.80
Adventist World Radio

As you can see AWR is
frontline mission radio.
00:09:43.66\00:09:47.66
Our first priority is to travel
where missionaries cannot go.
00:09:47.66\00:09:52.10
We broadcast
thousands of hours each day
00:09:52.10\00:09:54.46
in 70 major
languages of the world.
00:09:54.46\00:09:57.73
AWR has the capability
and capacity of blanketing
00:09:57.73\00:10:00.86
almost 80% of the
world's population.
00:10:00.86\00:10:04.03
Not only do we
broadcast via shortwave radio,
00:10:04.03\00:10:07.10
but our signal is on
over 1,000 FM and AM stations
00:10:07.10\00:10:10.96
around the world as well.
00:10:10.96\00:10:13.16
Our podcast
subscribers, Internet users,
00:10:13.16\00:10:16.03
satellite downlinks
are growing rapidly,
00:10:16.03\00:10:18.63
evidenced by the
100,000 plus emails, letters,
00:10:18.63\00:10:22.30
and phone calls we
receive each and every year.
00:10:22.30\00:10:25.50
Yes, AWR is your mission radio.
00:10:25.50\00:10:28.80
No walls and no borders.
00:10:28.80\00:10:30.46
For AWR that means
change lives and change hearts
00:10:30.46\00:10:33.36
around the world
because God is using
00:10:33.36\00:10:36.23
the airwaves of AWR to
reach people everywhere.
00:10:36.23\00:10:39.30
I know that the things
we see today on this planet
00:10:45.63\00:10:48.30
are just small portions
of what God prepared for us.
00:10:48.30\00:10:52.40
So you don't care what
other young people think,
00:10:52.40\00:10:54.70
it's just your
relationship with God.
00:10:54.70\00:10:57.80
This is my
relationship with God.
00:10:57.80\00:11:00.13
And with my friends, my
relationship became better
00:11:00.13\00:11:02.93
because they became
better and started respecting
00:11:02.93\00:11:05.70
me more for being a Christian.
00:11:05.70\00:11:07.60
Being a Christian can
be hard and very unpopular,
00:11:07.60\00:11:10.90
but being strong spiritually
makes you a stronger Christian.
00:11:10.90\00:11:14.20
Did you find it was the
same for you at 15 years old
00:11:14.20\00:11:17.06
to become a Christian
and continue in that pathway?
00:11:17.06\00:11:20.56
At 15 years old,
I start believing.
00:11:20.56\00:11:23.63
But at 16, I got baptized
to achieve that happiness
00:11:23.63\00:11:28.70
you have to grow year by
year and become closer with God.
00:11:28.70\00:11:34.23
You told me that AWR has been
playing a part in your life.
00:11:34.23\00:11:37.63
Before we came together
today, you told me that.
00:11:37.63\00:11:41.03
What part has it played?
00:11:41.03\00:11:43.50
I was left alone for
two years as an Adventist.
00:11:43.50\00:11:46.46
And listening at
night to the radio,
00:11:46.46\00:11:48.40
I understood that I
wasn't alone in this world
00:11:48.40\00:11:50.86
but a part of a big family.
00:11:50.86\00:11:52.70
They gave me
hope and confidence.
00:11:52.70\00:11:55.13
Nice to hear the
Christian songs in my language.
00:11:55.13\00:11:58.30
I really want
to hear God's word,
00:11:58.30\00:12:01.60
who is calling to come to
Him because the time is near.
00:12:01.60\00:12:05.50
I really want that
and we'll pray for that.
00:12:05.50\00:12:08.70
I want His name to knock
on every heart and everyone.
00:12:08.70\00:12:15.26
So you tell others
about the AWR programs then?
00:12:15.26\00:12:19.00
About courses, no.
00:12:19.00\00:12:20.73
About the radio station, yes.
00:12:20.73\00:12:23.10
Not only did I
tell them about it,
00:12:23.10\00:12:24.80
I turned it on for them
so they could listen to it,
00:12:24.80\00:12:27.36
my non-Christian friends.
00:12:27.36\00:12:29.30
So they like the program too?
00:12:29.30\00:12:31.00
Yes, they listened.
00:12:31.00\00:12:32.73
And this may be telling a
secret on you being a pastor
00:12:32.73\00:12:36.73
because you told me
you're a part time pastor.
00:12:36.73\00:12:39.23
Do you listen to the
AWR programs and make
00:12:39.23\00:12:41.80
some notes and
share that on the pulpit.
00:12:41.80\00:12:43.93
No radio.
00:12:43.93\00:12:47.16
We just moved
recently few days ago.
00:12:47.16\00:12:50.30
Everything is still
packed away in the boxes.
00:12:50.30\00:12:53.56
Here in Jerusalem, perhaps,
00:12:56.73\00:12:58.26
it was a street
something like this
00:12:58.26\00:12:59.76
that Jesus walked
down with His disciples.
00:12:59.76\00:13:02.13
But at that time, the throngs
where pressing in everywhere
00:13:02.13\00:13:05.13
around and people
wanted to get close to Him.
00:13:05.13\00:13:08.53
But all of a sudden
in the middle of all this
00:13:08.53\00:13:10.56
pushing and
shoving, Jesus stopped.
00:13:10.56\00:13:12.76
He turned and
said "Who touched me?"
00:13:12.76\00:13:15.43
And for a moment,
everybody's looking,
00:13:15.43\00:13:16.83
thinking "What are you saying?
00:13:16.83\00:13:18.23
Everybody is touching you."
00:13:18.23\00:13:19.63
The disciple said,
"Master, look at the throngs."
00:13:19.63\00:13:22.43
And then one dear
little lady came up and said,
00:13:22.43\00:13:25.70
"I was the one who touched you."
00:13:25.70\00:13:28.10
And Jesus said, "You
know, you are healed, dear lady,
00:13:28.10\00:13:30.80
because you
touched me with faith.
00:13:30.80\00:13:33.93
You reached out and
grabbed the hold of me
00:13:33.93\00:13:35.56
with all that you had,
and desired to be healed."
00:13:35.56\00:13:39.43
Tremendous story, a casual
touch does nothing in our lives,
00:13:39.43\00:13:43.60
but the touch of
faith grabbing the hold
00:13:43.60\00:13:45.23
of Jesus that's what changes.
00:13:45.23\00:13:47.30
Most of the
street are new stones
00:14:25.83\00:14:27.73
but this area they
found 3 meters down.
00:14:27.73\00:14:30.16
These are the original pavements
00:14:30.16\00:14:31.73
where Jesus walked
in the Via Dolorosa.
00:14:31.73\00:14:34.36
Carried His cross
here for you and for me.
00:14:35.70\00:14:38.10
It's interesting that just right
over here are men machine guns.
00:14:38.10\00:14:41.73
I'm sure Jesus
looked forward to this time,
00:14:42.10\00:14:44.46
that's probably why He wept
00:14:44.46\00:14:46.40
up there on the hill
overlooking Jerusalem.
00:14:46.40\00:14:48.96
I hadn't realized
how long and arduous
00:14:53.30\00:14:55.83
the track for Jesus was
carrying the Cross of Calvary
00:14:56.43\00:14:59.36
because it's all up hill.
00:14:59.36\00:15:00.80
At this point on
the Via Dolorosa,
00:15:01.56\00:15:04.06
He collapsed. He could
no longer carry the cross.
00:15:04.66\00:15:07.33
And here we're told Simon picked
it up and carried it for Him.
00:15:07.76\00:15:12.53
They've actually
built a little Chapel
00:15:12.53\00:15:14.06
in this area
commemorating that moment.
00:15:14.06\00:15:16.00
It's exciting to me
that you are young people.
00:15:19.10\00:15:21.30
You have accepted Christ in many
marvelous ways it came together.
00:15:21.30\00:15:26.10
But the listeners and our
viewers need to know that,
00:15:27.96\00:15:33.43
that God speaks every language.
00:15:33.43\00:15:35.50
I need an interpreter while
at times to understand you.
00:15:35.50\00:15:38.20
But God speaks every language.
00:15:38.40\00:15:40.03
He reaches every
heart around the world.
00:15:40.03\00:15:42.33
And what would you like
to share with the people
00:15:43.00\00:15:45.56
now that are
going to be watching,
00:15:45.56\00:15:46.96
may be listening to this program
in different parts of the world.
00:15:46.96\00:15:49.80
What does Jesus
Christ mean to you,
00:15:49.80\00:15:51.66
and what should they know?
00:15:51.66\00:15:53.03
God is love. God gives us a
happy heart, hope, and belief.
00:15:53.90\00:15:58.10
Hope for the best,
hope in the people.
00:15:58.10\00:16:00.33
For those watching this program,
00:16:01.56\00:16:03.83
for those
listening to this word,
00:16:04.30\00:16:06.70
I want you to turn to God.
00:16:06.70\00:16:09.06
He really wants
you to be next to Him.
00:16:09.06\00:16:12.06
What's your favorite
part of the AWR program?
00:16:12.06\00:16:15.10
The songs and
mostly the Bible study,
00:16:15.10\00:16:17.80
and when people discuss
their relationship with God.
00:16:17.80\00:16:20.70
And how about
you? Same question.
00:16:22.10\00:16:23.80
What's the most
favorite part? The music.
00:16:23.80\00:16:26.50
And I am very
thankful for His love
00:16:26.93\00:16:30.66
and is always
trying to reach ones heart.
00:16:30.66\00:16:34.03
The radio has no
limit, where ever you are,
00:16:34.03\00:16:37.13
just raise your antenna,
tune in, and start listening.
00:16:37.13\00:16:41.20
What would you do
if AWR wasn't there?
00:16:41.50\00:16:44.16
Had it never been there?
00:16:44.16\00:16:45.83
The radio is
called voice of hope.
00:16:45.83\00:16:47.80
If there was no radio, there
wouldn't be that voice of hope.
00:16:48.20\00:16:52.10
Upon the hill where
the large church is,
00:16:53.50\00:16:55.80
I am told is where
Jesus had the last supper.
00:16:55.80\00:16:58.10
And from that area
they came on down the hill,
00:16:58.50\00:17:00.86
crossed over the Kidron up
into the garden of Gethsemane
00:17:00.86\00:17:04.10
here in this area, the
area of the final conflict.
00:17:04.10\00:17:08.26
Through the radio waves of AWR,
00:17:45.86\00:17:47.76
God is reaching
people around the world.

00:18:40.06\00:18:45.80
To be here in the
Garden Gethsemane,
00:18:46.83\00:18:49.66
to look at the size
of these olive trees,
00:18:50.30\00:18:52.40
to think this is
the location perhaps
00:18:52.40\00:18:55.10
that Jesus and
the disciples walked,
00:18:55.10\00:18:57.30
where Jesus instructed
them on everyday life,
00:18:57.93\00:19:00.70
the parables to
help them understand,
00:19:01.30\00:19:03.76
to prepare them for their work
for what was going to happen
00:19:03.76\00:19:07.00
next in their lives
because these were the men,
00:19:07.00\00:19:09.16
they were going to reach
the world for Jesus Christ.
00:19:09.83\00:19:13.00
These were the men who
were preparing right then.
00:19:13.76\00:19:16.63
As Jesus looks up the
olives and thinks about
00:19:17.10\00:19:19.60
the Holy Spirit,
the oil of the spirit,
00:19:19.60\00:19:22.53
the oil that
lit the temple lamps
00:19:22.73\00:19:24.56
that cast light everywhere.
00:19:24.56\00:19:26.50
The Holy Spirit is supposed
to be in our lives to give us
00:19:28.16\00:19:30.83
the light that
shines out to all the world.
00:19:30.83\00:19:33.66
I'm told they
placed this pillar here,
00:19:39.30\00:19:41.00
from the Garden of Gethsemane.
00:19:41.60\00:19:43.13
Perhaps, it's the only thing
that is left from that time
00:19:43.46\00:19:47.16
when Jesus came to
struggle for the human race.
00:19:47.16\00:19:50.86
When the
disciples and Jesus arrived
00:19:53.50\00:19:55.36
at the Garden of Gethsemane,
He asked the disciples stay here
00:19:55.36\00:19:59.33
and pray while I go little
distance from you and pray.
00:19:59.33\00:20:02.73
When He came back
from His first agony,
00:20:03.63\00:20:06.06
He found them
all asleep. He said,
00:20:06.06\00:20:08.00
"Could you not pray with
me just for a little while?"
00:20:08.00\00:20:11.20
Later on coming
back to them again,
00:20:12.10\00:20:13.80
He again found them
asleep and finally He said,
00:20:13.80\00:20:16.16
"The spirit is willing
but the flesh is truly weak."
00:20:16.36\00:20:19.63
I'm told that the olive tree
00:20:34.73\00:20:36.13
right behind me
is 2,000 years old.
00:20:36.13\00:20:38.30
This tree could've been
here in the Garden of Gethsemane
00:20:39.26\00:20:42.90
at the time of Jesus.
It's something to think about
00:20:42.90\00:20:46.70
how our Lord knelt
down, began weeping,
00:20:46.70\00:20:49.43
a young man on his early 30.
00:20:49.43\00:20:51.26
What young man of
that age wants to die?
00:20:51.26\00:20:53.43
But He was willing
to die for you and me,
00:20:53.43\00:20:55.46
to give His life
for us. But He said,
00:20:55.90\00:20:57.40
"Father, please If there
is another way, let it happen.
00:20:57.40\00:21:00.56
Let this cup pass from me,
00:21:00.96\00:21:02.60
nevertheless not my
will but your will be done."
00:21:02.60\00:21:05.96
Three times he fought
that battle with Satan,
00:21:06.90\00:21:09.13
three times he fought
that battle with self.
00:21:09.13\00:21:11.33
But each time He surrendered
himself to the father.
00:21:11.33\00:21:15.56
Said, that father,
"Your will be done."
00:21:15.56\00:21:17.50
Because of the
victory that Jesus gained
00:21:20.53\00:21:22.43
here in the garden of
Gethsemane and then later on,
00:21:22.43\00:21:25.03
on Calvary's Cross, He
was able to tell the disciples
00:21:25.03\00:21:28.23
to go into all the world
and spread the Gospel message
00:21:28.23\00:21:31.76
with power, with
strength, and with energy.
00:21:31.76\00:21:34.60
Again, because He had
gained the victory first
00:21:34.60\00:21:38.23
and provided that
power to His disciples
00:21:38.83\00:21:41.20
and ultimately to you and to me.
00:21:41.20\00:21:42.66
In the garden,
Jesus was captured.
00:22:01.63\00:22:04.00
All of the disciples
fled. They took Jesus back up
00:22:04.40\00:22:07.60
the hill again to the area
00:22:07.60\00:22:09.13
where He originally
was with the last supper.
00:22:09.13\00:22:11.23
In that area, they held
the first part of the trial.
00:22:11.23\00:22:14.40
Peter denied his Lord there.
00:22:14.63\00:22:16.46
Then they let
Him on into the city
00:22:16.46\00:22:18.70
for further trial with
Pilate. It was on a courtyard
00:22:18.70\00:22:22.66
perhaps something like
this where they brought Jesus
00:22:22.66\00:22:24.96
in the middle of the night
00:22:24.96\00:22:26.33
to arraign Him before the
high priest.Peter snuck in.
00:22:26.56\00:22:28.56
Peter snuck in. People
are milling around every where
00:22:29.26\00:22:32.56
but Peter didn't
want to be noticed.
00:22:32.56\00:22:34.26
He came up. He
saw a little fire.
00:22:35.16\00:22:36.76
He came up close to the
fire, pulled his collar up
00:22:37.53\00:22:39.93
and there he sat
trying to warm his hands.
00:22:39.93\00:22:41.73
Every once in a
while, he would take a glance
00:22:41.73\00:22:43.93
and look and see what
was happening to Jesus.
00:22:43.93\00:22:45.96
Someone noticed
him. They asked him,
00:22:47.46\00:22:50.00
"Who are you? You are
the one that was with Jesus?"
00:22:50.00\00:22:51.86
He says, "No, I am
not. No, I am not."
00:22:51.86\00:22:53.30
And he huddles a little lower.
00:22:53.30\00:22:55.06
But soon they recognize
him again. At this time,
00:22:55.06\00:22:58.23
he said,"No, I am not the one."
But he huddles a little more.
00:22:58.23\00:23:02.46
He takes another look.
Still Jesus is being tried
00:23:02.46\00:23:05.70
but soon someone says,
00:23:06.30\00:23:07.70
"You are the one.
You are the very one."
00:23:07.70\00:23:09.63
And now he cusses and he swears
00:23:10.16\00:23:12.10
as an old
fisherman that he used to be
00:23:12.10\00:23:14.16
and as with the words
dripping from his lips,
00:23:14.66\00:23:18.00
he looks and Jesus
turns and looks at him,
00:23:18.00\00:23:21.10
and his heart is
broken and Peter runs away
00:23:21.76\00:23:25.10
In 1883, the British General,
00:23:26.50\00:23:28.43
Charles Gordon came
across this location.
00:23:28.43\00:23:30.60
He saw what appeared to
be a skull in the rocks.
00:23:31.20\00:23:33.30
He looked the eyes
and the nose and the mouth
00:23:33.30\00:23:35.43
and thought could this
be? The location is correct,
00:23:35.43\00:23:38.23
right outside the
walls of Jerusalem.
00:23:38.23\00:23:40.40
This may be the place of
the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
00:23:40.96\00:23:44.30
We're in a location
called the Garden Tomb.
00:23:48.10\00:23:50.50
Now this may not be the actual
location where Jesus was laid
00:23:50.50\00:23:53.86
but it's a tomb of someone
rich like Joseph of Arimathea.
00:23:53.86\00:23:57.96
They took Jesus off the cross.
They laid Him in the tomb.
00:23:58.83\00:24:02.10
They sealed it
with a large stone.
00:24:03.03\00:24:04.60
On Sunday, the angel from heaven
came down as a lightning flash.
00:24:04.60\00:24:10.46
The Roman guard, who
was here to guard the tomb
00:24:11.33\00:24:14.13
and not allow entrance
to anyone lay as a dead man.
00:24:14.13\00:24:16.96
The angel called Jesus forth,
00:24:16.96\00:24:18.93
Jesus, who had laid there
dead, was now resurrected.
00:24:18.93\00:24:22.13
Interesting
point is the soldiers
00:24:22.86\00:24:25.50
were from every
country or many countries.
00:24:25.50\00:24:27.56
Imagine after their
tour of duty had ended,
00:24:27.56\00:24:30.60
they went and told
their countrymen everywhere.
00:24:31.66\00:24:33.96
Thus the Gospel was
spread to many lands.
00:24:33.96\00:24:36.70
The angel stayed and waited
00:24:36.70\00:24:40.20
and the woman showed up
00:24:40.50\00:24:41.90
later that day to
embalm the body of Jesus.
00:24:41.90\00:24:44.36
But the angel said,
"He's risen, He is not here.
00:24:44.36\00:24:46.86
He's going to meet all of you.
Go tell His disciples and Peter,
00:24:46.86\00:24:51.30
the Lord is risen."
00:24:51.30\00:24:52.66
Whatever you do, don't
forget Peter who denied me.
00:24:52.96\00:24:56.10
Don't forget Peter
who has forsaken me.
00:24:56.10\00:24:58.03
Don't forget Peter
who is brokenhearted.
00:24:58.03\00:24:59.86
Remember Peter how much
our Lord loves, and calls,
00:25:00.33\00:25:04.23
and yearns
after every one of us.
00:25:04.23\00:25:06.30
Jerusalem, where God
provided victory over sin,
00:25:12.00\00:25:14.86
and where His great
commission was spoken,
00:25:15.46\00:25:17.33
"Go ye into all the world."
00:25:17.60\00:25:19.63
You just moved, you don't
have a radio at the moment,
00:25:20.96\00:25:23.90
but are you looking
forward to getting one,
00:25:23.90\00:25:25.43
you can have the program again?
00:25:25.43\00:25:26.80
For sure, of course. Certainly.
00:25:27.30\00:25:32.46
Oh, English? All right.
Certainly, I understood that.
00:25:33.16\00:25:37.16
To listen is what I do.
That's good. Yes. All right.
00:25:45.23\00:25:51.03
Adventist. Adventist.
00:25:51.50\00:25:53.53
I appreciate you coming
tonight very much, thank you.
00:25:53.53\00:25:56.20
Bless you. Thank you very much.
00:25:56.20\00:25:58.20
Thank you. God bless you.
00:25:59.13\00:26:00.60
Today, Maxim is serving
as a pastor on the weekends.
00:26:01.10\00:26:04.80
Well, he does his work to
earn a living during the week.
00:26:04.80\00:26:08.03
He and his wife now as a team
00:26:08.76\00:26:11.16
have dedicated
themselves to serve God.
00:26:11.16\00:26:14.93
And they love to
listen and use the radio.
00:26:14.93\00:26:17.53
In fact,they gave away
their own radio to someone
00:26:17.53\00:26:20.83
so that they could listen
to the Voice of Hope programs.
00:26:20.83\00:26:24.46
Maxim and Lubo now
are planning to use radio
00:26:25.96\00:26:30.73
in their outreach
work. We asked them,
00:26:30.73\00:26:33.46
"What would happen
if the Voice of Hope
00:26:33.73\00:26:35.96
was no longer on
the air?" They said,
00:26:35.96\00:26:39.00
"If there is no
voice, there is no hope."
00:26:39.83\00:26:43.13
Won't you join with AWR to
make sure that it can be a voice
00:26:44.43\00:26:50.33
