(Miss Ruthie) Hello boys and
girls. Welcome to Starting with
00:00:22.88\00:00:30.06
Jesus. I'm glad you're here
today. Now if you remember our
00:00:30.09\00:00:33.36
story last week was a little bit
sad because Peter made a choice
00:00:33.40\00:00:38.00
that made him sad and made Jesus
sad. But what did he do after he
00:00:38.03\00:00:42.84
do after he made that. Does
he go and he prayed and he asked
00:00:42.87\00:00:46.37
God to forgive him? And did God
forgive him? Of course, He did.
00:00:46.41\00:00:50.01
But today we have another sad
story about another person who
00:00:50.05\00:00:54.62
made a choice they shouldn't
have made. And this one doesn't
00:00:54.65\00:00:57.89
end quite as happy. So listen
closely because we can always
00:00:57.92\00:01:02.66
learn from stories of others and
not make those same mistakes,
00:01:02.69\00:01:05.99
right? Before we get to that
story though what do we always
00:01:06.03\00:01:10.67
do? We always sing. So
let's start with some singing.

My name is Eugene and I'm going
to spend some time with you
00:05:07.44\00:05:09.50
going over the first chapter of
Steps to Christ. God's Love for
00:05:09.54\00:05:14.64
Man. So what it says here in
the book is that God has found
00:05:14.68\00:05:19.21
several different ways to tell
us about His love. It's when we
00:05:19.25\00:05:23.72
see God's love that our hearts
are softened. Titus 3 verse 3
00:05:23.75\00:05:29.29
We were evil. Then we saw
God's love and when we saw it it
00:05:40.47\00:05:44.41
changed us. There are three ways
that God shows His love to us.
00:05:44.44\00:05:48.24
Why the first one is all around
me; it's nature. It's by the way
00:05:48.28\00:05:52.15
this nature was designed to meet
the happiness not only of me but
00:05:52.18\00:05:56.05
the happiness of the deer and
the squirrels and of the various
00:05:56.08\00:05:59.85
woodpeckers that I see here, the
Downey and the Hoary. God has
00:05:59.89\00:06:04.66
designed nature in a way that
just satisfies us. He opens His
00:06:04.69\00:06:09.76
hand and satisfies the desires
of every living thing. We see it
00:06:09.80\00:06:13.54
also in the Holy Bible. We read
in Jeremiah that I have loved
00:06:13.57\00:06:17.37
you with an everlasting love,
therefore, with loving-kindness
00:06:17.41\00:06:20.81
have I drawn you? We see that
God describes His love in how He
00:06:20.84\00:06:24.51
spared His people and what He's
done. So the Bible is the second
00:06:24.55\00:06:29.08
place. But you know the third
place, the one we read the most
00:06:29.12\00:06:32.59
of in this chapter, is about
Jesus. The fact is that love is
00:06:32.62\00:06:38.79
an idea that's harder to
describe than it is to see.
00:06:38.83\00:06:43.87
And Jesus came here to earth to
make sure we could see it. That
00:06:43.90\00:06:49.14
we see Him sharing the
gospel with the poor and see Him
00:06:49.17\00:06:53.58
forgiving His enemies and see
Him becoming like us, humbling
00:06:53.61\00:06:58.45
Himself to be a man. All of
those things are revealed here
00:06:58.48\00:07:02.28
in ways that are designed to
capture us. At about the fifth
00:07:02.32\00:07:08.36
paragraph it says...
00:07:08.39\00:07:09.72
I was sharing the thoughts
of this chapter with some young
00:07:27.64\00:07:30.51
friends of mine this week and
they suggested to me a few ideas
00:07:30.55\00:07:34.52
One of them, they said, is the
fact that Jesus was the only one
00:07:34.55\00:07:38.92
one that could pay for our sins.
Have you thought about that?
00:07:38.95\00:07:42.59
That Jesus is the one that chose
to give me life so I could pay
00:07:42.62\00:07:49.06
for my own sin because I was
rebellious, or He could pay for
00:07:49.10\00:07:53.34
my sin because He was loving.
Because He was creative and gave
00:07:53.37\00:07:57.61
me freedom. And as Jesus was our
only creator He's the only one
00:07:57.64\00:08:02.81
that could pay for the sins of
his creation. I asked them what
00:08:02.84\00:08:06.05
else They said they were
really impressed with the idea
00:08:06.08\00:08:08.52
that there's no simile for God's
love. It's too big for us to
00:08:08.55\00:08:12.49
comprehend. And by this idea
especially that the Father loved
00:08:12.52\00:08:17.53
us so much that He missed being
with us. He didn't want to be in
00:08:17.56\00:08:21.80
heaven without us. And so He
sent Jesus. Why this chapter is
00:08:21.83\00:08:26.50
full of evidence about the
great love of the Father. I just
00:08:26.53\00:08:30.27
want to encourage you to
read the chapter for yourself.
00:08:30.31\00:08:33.78
¤ ¤
00:08:33.81\00:08:37.28
The whole universe was watching.
(Miss Michelle) What were they
00:08:37.31\00:08:41.75
watching? What was so
interesting to everyone? We're
00:08:41.78\00:08:44.52
going to find out in today's
story. Let's bow our heads
00:08:44.55\00:08:46.76
before we get started.
00:08:46.79\00:08:48.12
Dear heavenly Father, we thank
you and praise you for another
00:08:48.16\00:08:50.59
day of life. We ask that you
please be here with us today.
00:08:50.63\00:08:53.43
Send your Holy Spirit to be here
and guide us as we open your
00:08:53.46\00:08:56.43
word and we learn about one of
the darkest days in history that
00:08:56.46\00:09:00.50
brought on the brightest sunrise
We thank you. In your name we
00:09:00.54\00:09:03.37
pray, Amen.
00:09:03.41\00:09:05.01
Well, you may have guessed
because we've been learning
00:09:05.04\00:09:08.08
about the last week in the life
of Jesus that we're nearing the
00:09:08.11\00:09:12.08
close of the week and
many of you probably have prior
00:09:12.11\00:09:15.18
knowledge about why the
whole universe was watching that
00:09:15.22\00:09:19.25
Friday. Jesus knew they
were watching too. The physical
00:09:19.29\00:09:22.99
suffering that Jesus knew He was
going to experience very soon
00:09:23.02\00:09:26.49
was going to be horrific but He
knew it was going to be nothing
00:09:26.53\00:09:30.70
in comparison to the spiritual
and emotional suffering that He
00:09:30.73\00:09:34.74
would experience so soon.
Remember when the angels came to
00:09:34.77\00:09:39.07
visit Jesus in the Garden of
Gethsemane. Because they came He
00:09:39.11\00:09:45.35
survived. He probably would have
actually died because of the
00:09:45.38\00:09:49.78
separation that He felt there
in the garden and if they hadn't
00:09:49.82\00:09:52.75
given Him the extra strength
that He may not have made it
00:09:52.79\00:09:55.59
through that terrible, terrible
trying time. And He felt the
00:09:55.62\00:10:01.66
weight. Have you ever lifted
weights before? Maybe your mom
00:10:01.70\00:10:04.63
or dad or aunt or uncle or
grandma or grandpa like to lift
00:10:04.67\00:10:07.50
weights at the gym. Have
you ever tried to lift a weight
00:10:07.54\00:10:09.97
before? It's really heavy, right
and you can even get heavier
00:10:10.01\00:10:12.64
ones too; all different sizes.
00:10:12.67\00:10:14.64
But Jesus's weight was like
nothing you could lift at the
00:10:14.68\00:10:19.21
gym, nothing that your strongest
uncle could bench press. This
00:10:19.25\00:10:23.15
weight was the weight of all
the sins of anyone who had ever
00:10:23.18\00:10:27.09
lived or ever would live. Wow!
That's a lot of sin. And He felt
00:10:27.12\00:10:32.33
the separation because when
we sin, when we go against what
00:10:32.36\00:10:35.16
God's law of love has for
us then it creates separation
00:10:35.20\00:10:39.77
between us and God and so He
felt completely separated from
00:10:39.80\00:10:43.77
His heavenly Father. How
horrible that must have felt for
00:10:43.81\00:10:47.01
Him. He was to die our death.
In fact in Romans 6 verse 23
00:10:47.04\00:10:52.41
it tells us what we earn because
of sin. It says: The wages (what
00:10:52.45\00:10:57.52
you earn because) of sin, that's
death. But the good news is, the
00:10:57.55\00:11:02.09
gift of God is eternal life
in who? Christ Jesus our Lord.
00:11:02.12\00:11:06.46
No one understood. Jesus was
completely alone and if you feel
00:11:06.49\00:11:13.54
alone sometimes Jesus can relate
because He felt the most alone
00:11:13.57\00:11:16.20
of anyone who's ever lived. What
love He had for us and has for
00:11:16.24\00:11:20.88
us that He was willing to
go through that. Wow. Now it's
00:11:20.91\00:11:26.58
early Friday morning and Jesus
was bound and He stood before
00:11:26.61\00:11:28.68
the Sanhedrin Council. You may
remember we left off here last
00:11:28.72\00:11:32.25
week. The Sanhedrin was
the Jewish council, all the
00:11:32.29\00:11:34.69
important Jewish rulers and
leaders of the church. John was
00:11:34.72\00:11:38.96
still there waiting but Peter
remember had run away. Do you
00:11:38.99\00:11:42.23
where he was now? After the
rooster had crowed, he went to
00:11:42.26\00:11:44.80
the garden of Gethsemane and he
was there crying because he felt
00:11:44.83\00:11:48.10
so bad for what he had done to
Jesus. Judas was actually there
00:11:48.14\00:11:52.24
too, in the Sanhedrin, in
the Council area. And he was
00:11:52.27\00:11:57.91
watching. He had his 30 silver
coins that they had given him
00:11:57.95\00:12:01.82
and he thought Jesus surely
would soon free himself. He was
00:12:01.85\00:12:06.55
surprised actually that Jesus
had let them take Him out of the
00:12:06.59\00:12:10.49
garden. But he soon realized too
late he had sold Jesus for the
00:12:10.53\00:12:16.46
price of a slave. The trial was
ending and Judas was realizing
00:12:16.50\00:12:21.60
that Jesus wasn't stepping in.
He wasn't doing anything. This
00:12:21.64\00:12:24.24
made no sense. This was not his
plan. Jesus was not going with
00:12:24.27\00:12:29.11
his plan. And at that
point Judas ran in front of the
00:12:29.14\00:12:33.31
council and he said, Don't kill
Him, I have betrayed an innocent
00:12:33.35\00:12:37.59
man. And he took the coins that
they had given him and he threw
00:12:37.62\00:12:40.29
them down on the floor right
there in front of the council.
00:12:40.32\00:12:44.86
Now you can imagine that they
were very embarrassed by this.
00:12:44.89\00:12:47.96
In fact, he even
grabbed Caiaphas's robe which we
00:12:48.00\00:12:52.63
wouldn't think would be a
great idea, right? And they were
00:12:52.67\00:12:57.44
exposed. Everyone there
understood what had happened.
00:12:57.47\00:12:59.71
They could see right through it.
They knew where Judas had gotten
00:12:59.74\00:13:02.61
that money. And Judas fell at
Jesus's feet and he wanted Him
00:13:02.64\00:13:08.25
to save yourself, save yourself.
He was still not sorry. He still
00:13:08.28\00:13:11.82
wanted his plan to work. He
wanted to force Jesus into an
00:13:11.85\00:13:14.76
earthly kingdom and into an
earthly kingship. But it was too
00:13:14.79\00:13:19.86
late. In fact, let's jump over
to Matthew 27 and jump right
00:13:19.89\00:13:24.40
into our story here in the word.
Matthew 27 verses 3 and 4 say:
00:13:24.43\00:13:31.17
Then Jesus's betrayer, seeing
that He had been condemned was
00:13:31.21\00:13:35.18
remorseful and brought back the
30 pieces of silver and saying I
00:13:35.21\00:13:39.05
have sinned by betraying
innocent blood. What is this to
00:13:39.08\00:13:42.95
us? You see to it. That's what
they said. They said what is
00:13:42.98\00:13:47.26
this to us? They tried to act
like they didn't know what was
00:13:47.29\00:13:48.82
happening, right? He threw down
the silver and he departed the
00:13:48.86\00:13:52.39
temple. And this is the really
sad part of this story. He felt
00:13:52.43\00:13:55.63
so hopeless and so sad at that
point that he went and he hanged
00:13:55.66\00:13:59.50
himself. Isn't that a sad
end to Judas? He had such a
00:13:59.53\00:14:02.80
promising start. How Judas? He
had so many talents. He was good
00:14:02.84\00:14:08.68
looking, he was smart and in
fact he thought he was better
00:14:08.71\00:14:12.31
than the other disciples. But
his downfall was something that
00:14:12.35\00:14:17.52
can get us even today folks.
It was something that can get us
00:14:17.55\00:14:21.39
today. Money! Now money is not
necessarily bad in and of itself
00:14:21.42\00:14:28.06
Money can do some really great
things for Jesus. But the love
00:14:28.10\00:14:32.57
of money. When we love money
more than we love Jesus and more
00:14:32.60\00:14:36.10
than we love others, that's the
problem and the love of money is
00:14:36.14\00:14:40.11
what got Judas into big trouble.
Judas had actually made the
00:14:40.14\00:14:46.68
other disciples doubt Jesus as
well. And Jesus knew about what
00:14:46.72\00:14:50.82
Judas was up to. And yet
He still gave him chance after
00:14:50.85\00:14:53.66
chance to change. Well the
council had come down with a
00:14:53.69\00:14:59.29
verdict and, you guessed it,
Jesus was found guilty. And the
00:14:59.33\00:15:03.93
people's reaction, this is
crazy I couldn't believe how the
00:15:03.97\00:15:07.04
people reacted. But you can just
imagine that Satan had filled
00:15:07.07\00:15:10.31
them with evil because they
shouted, they yelled and it even
00:15:10.34\00:15:14.44
says that they acted...behaved
like wild animals. Can you
00:15:14.48\00:15:18.01
imagine? And the priests joined
in on this ruckus. It wasn't
00:15:18.05\00:15:21.08
just the common people, it was
the priests as well. They had
00:15:21.12\00:15:24.85
gotten their way and they were
feeling good. Ho! The soldiers
00:15:24.89\00:15:28.32
actually had to stop the Jews
from killing Jesus. The problem
00:15:28.36\00:15:34.10
was though the Sanhedrin Council
they didn't have the political
00:15:34.13\00:15:37.73
power to actually put someone
to death. They didn't have that
00:15:37.77\00:15:41.67
power and so the next stop they
had to go to, they had to take
00:15:41.70\00:15:45.57
Jesus, was before Pilot, the
Roman governor. Because he was
00:15:45.61\00:15:48.28
the one who had the power to
actually do what they wanted to
00:15:48.31\00:15:51.61
be done to Jesus. And they
wanted this to be rushed because
00:15:51.65\00:15:55.52
they didn't want Jesus's
followers, He had a lot of
00:15:55.55\00:15:57.32
friends and followers and they
didn't want them to find out and
00:15:57.35\00:16:00.76
to try to defend Jesus in any
way. So they woke up Pilot early
00:16:00.79\00:16:06.49
and you can imagine, I don't
know about you but Miss Michelle
00:16:06.53\00:16:08.76
is not a super duper morning
person. I'm not the happiest I
00:16:08.80\00:16:12.93
am all day the first thing I
wake up in the morning and Pilot
00:16:12.97\00:16:15.70
was also not thrilled to be
woken up early. A little back
00:16:15.74\00:16:19.57
story on Pilot. He was a bad
leader. Let's just say it how it
00:16:19.61\00:16:24.15
is. He killed many innocent
people and he killed many guilty
00:16:24.18\00:16:27.28
people as well. And it was
no big deal for him to condemn
00:16:27.32\00:16:31.89
someone to death. But when
he looked at Jesus, Jesus was
00:16:31.92\00:16:34.66
different to him. And Jesus
looked innocent. And this kind
00:16:34.69\00:16:39.13
of surprised himself, right? And
his wife had actually told him
00:16:39.16\00:16:42.90
about Jesus. And he knew about
how He had raised Lazarus from
00:16:42.93\00:16:46.23
the dead and about some of the
miracles that He had done and
00:16:46.27\00:16:49.00
this just wasn't making sense to
him why these people would want
00:16:49.04\00:16:52.87
Him put to death. Doesn't make
sense to us either does it? In
00:16:52.91\00:16:56.78
John 18 we'll see what Pilot was
up to here. So let's skip over
00:16:56.81\00:17:01.12
to John 18 verses 28 and 29. It
says: Then they led Jesus from
00:17:01.15\00:17:06.35
Caiaphas to the Praetorium.
It was early in the morning. But
00:17:06.39\00:17:10.59
they themselves did not go into
the Praetorium. This is very
00:17:10.63\00:17:13.36
interesting, lest they should be
defiled. Keep that word in mind.
00:17:13.40\00:17:17.47
But that they might eat the
Passover. And Pilot went out to
00:17:17.50\00:17:21.00
them and said, What accusation
do you bring against this man?
00:17:21.04\00:17:24.97
And to them, this kind of phased
them as well. Okay let's first
00:17:25.01\00:17:28.44
go over the word defile, right?
Okay, the word defile means to
00:17:28.48\00:17:31.91
to take something that's
clean and make it dirty. So
00:17:31.95\00:17:34.78
technically, we defile our plate
at supper when we eat from it
00:17:34.82\00:17:38.89
and we get it dirty. But that's
not usually the way we use that
00:17:38.92\00:17:41.56
word. The leaders, if they had
gone into the Roman court, the
00:17:41.59\00:17:44.56
Roman court, there into the
Roman Praetorium, they wouldn't
00:17:44.59\00:17:47.30
have been able to take part
in Passover. That was Jewish
00:17:47.33\00:17:49.96
tradition. And so, they wanted
to put this man to death, which
00:17:50.00\00:17:53.64
goes against the 10 commandments
but they couldn't go into this
00:17:53.67\00:17:56.40
building because...Yeah, that
makes no sense, right? That's
00:17:56.44\00:17:59.47
neither here nor there. And so
he asked the priests why, like
00:17:59.51\00:18:03.11
what accusations do you have and
this kind of phased them because
00:18:03.14\00:18:06.11
before like in the past Pilot
hadn't really worried about like
00:18:06.15\00:18:09.82
what was right and what was
wrong, what was good, what was
00:18:09.85\00:18:12.42
bad. He just kind of rubber
stamped things. Like oh you want
00:18:12.45\00:18:14.36
this guy killed, okay, mm,
sounds good. Go for it. But they
00:18:14.39\00:18:17.99
were actually having to stop
and think like what reason is he
00:18:18.03\00:18:22.76
going to like for us to put
Jesus to death. Oh I just can't
00:18:22.80\00:18:26.90
imagine, right? And so in John
18 verses 30 and 31 it says:
00:18:26.94\00:18:32.11
They answered and said to him,
If He were not an evil doer we
00:18:32.14\00:18:35.88
would not have delivered Him to
you. Like we wouldn't be here if
00:18:35.91\00:18:39.31
he wasn't bad. Then Pilot said
to them, You take Him and judge
00:18:39.35\00:18:42.35
Him according to your law.
Therefore the Jews said to him,
00:18:42.38\00:18:46.22
It is not lawful for us to
put anyone to death. Pretty much
00:18:46.25\00:18:49.19
saying, We already did this and
we can't do what we want to do.
00:18:49.22\00:18:52.99
Wow. Pilot then took Jesus aside
to talk to Him because he really
00:18:53.03\00:18:57.73
did think he was innocent and
continuing in John 18 it says,
00:18:57.77\00:19:02.54
verse 33: Pilot entered the
Praetorium again, called Jesus
00:19:02.57\00:19:05.21
and said to Him, Are you
the King of the Jews? And Jesus
00:19:05.24\00:19:08.31
answered him, Are you speaking
for yourself about this or did
00:19:08.34\00:19:11.38
the others tell you this
concerning me? Pilot answered,
00:19:11.41\00:19:14.68
I'm not a Jew. Your own nation
and chief priests have delivered
00:19:14.72\00:19:17.89
you to me. What have you done?
And Jesus answered, My kingdom
00:19:17.92\00:19:21.76
is not of this world. If my
kingdom were of this world, my
00:19:21.79\00:19:25.06
servants would fight so that
I should not be delivered to the
00:19:25.09\00:19:27.56
Jews but now my kingdom is not
from here. Pilot therefore said
00:19:27.60\00:19:31.37
to Him, are you a king then? And
Jesus said You say rightly that
00:19:31.40\00:19:34.80
I am a king. For this, cause
I was born and for this cause I
00:19:34.84\00:19:38.91
have come into the world that I
should bear witness to the truth
00:19:38.94\00:19:41.58
Everyone who is of the truth
hears my voice. He told Pilot
00:19:41.61\00:19:46.28
straight on, I am the king. And
yet Pilot still didn't listen.
00:19:46.31\00:19:52.02
And oh, can't imagine, right?
And then it continues and the
00:19:52.05\00:19:58.99
priests mentioned Galilee,
that He was from Galilee, right?
00:19:59.03\00:20:02.36
And when the priests said that,
Pilot thought, hmm, I know who's
00:20:02.40\00:20:10.41
over in Galilee. Herod, King
Herod. And Pilot and King Herod
00:20:10.44\00:20:16.04
apparently didn't get along real
well. So he thought, hmm, if I
00:20:16.08\00:20:19.61
send Him over the Herod maybe
we could be buddies again and he
00:20:19.65\00:20:23.95
would have a little more respect
for me, if I had respect for him
00:20:23.99\00:20:26.52
as a ruler. So that's what he
did. He decided to be a coward.
00:20:26.55\00:20:31.23
He decided he wouldn't stand
up to the Jewish leaders. He
00:20:31.26\00:20:34.86
wouldn't tell them what he knew
was true which was that Jesus
00:20:34.90\00:20:38.60
was the King and that He was
innocent and that He shouldn't
00:20:38.63\00:20:40.77
be killed and instead, he sent
Jesus on. And in Luke 23 verses
00:20:40.80\00:20:47.94
5-7 it says, But they were the
more fierce saying He stirs up
00:20:47.98\00:20:51.05
the people teaching them
throughout all Judea beginning
00:20:51.08\00:20:54.28
from Galilee to this place. That
was where Pilot heard Galilee
00:20:54.32\00:20:57.15
and thought that's my ticket,
my free ticket, right. Then
00:20:57.19\00:21:01.36
heard of Galilee, he asked
if the man was a Galilean and as
00:21:01.39\00:21:05.09
soon as he knew that he belonged
in Herod's jurisdiction he sent
00:21:05.13\00:21:08.70
Him to Herod who was also in
Jerusalem at that time. That's
00:21:08.73\00:21:12.33
where we're going to leave off
our story for today. And next
00:21:12.37\00:21:14.40
week we'll pick up in Herod's
court and we'll find out what
00:21:14.44\00:21:17.91
happened to our Savior next.
Thanks for tuning in. Remember
00:21:17.94\00:21:21.88
just how much Jesus loves you
that He put up with all of this
00:21:21.91\00:21:25.21
and all this for us. He loves
you. I hope that you have a very
00:21:25.25\00:21:30.45
happy Sabbath. Take care.

Hello boys and girls. Today
we're going to test your Bible
00:24:33.20\00:24:36.94
knowledge with a little
Bible trivia. So if I say a fact
00:24:36.97\00:24:41.01
that's true you face me. If I
say a fact that's false, false
00:24:41.04\00:24:45.71
means it's not correct if I say
something that false you turn
00:24:45.75\00:24:50.19
around and you don't face me.
Righty? Here we go. Jonah was in
00:24:50.22\00:24:55.22
the belly of the big fish
for three weeks. That's actually
00:24:55.26\00:25:02.56
false. It was three what? Days.
It was three days. All right
00:25:02.60\00:25:07.50
first, then you can turn back
around. Here goes. Next one.
00:25:07.54\00:25:12.21
This is a tricky one.
Pay attention. Joseph had 12
00:25:12.24\00:25:16.28
brothers. Joseph had 12 brothers
You're right. He had 11 brothers
00:25:16.31\00:25:24.09
Perfect. All right turn back
around. Here's another tricky
00:25:24.12\00:25:28.02
one. Matthew, one of Jesus's
disciples was a fisherman
00:25:28.06\00:25:33.03
before meeting Jesus. I thought
I was going to get you but I
00:25:33.06\00:25:37.87
didn't get you, huh. All right
false, he was a tax collector.
00:25:37.90\00:25:41.57
Everybody turn back around.
All right Revelation 1:7 says
00:25:41.60\00:25:50.21
Every eye will see Him, when
Jesus comes back the second...
00:25:50.25\00:25:55.45
at Jesus' second coming. It says
every eye will see Him. That
00:25:55.48\00:26:00.02
includes blind people. Is that
true or false. Face me if it's
00:26:00.06\00:26:04.73
true and turn around if it's
not. Revelation 1:7, Every eye
00:26:04.76\00:26:08.50
will see Him. That's true. Have
you guys ever thought about that
00:26:08.53\00:26:11.77
Have you ever thought about
every eye will see Him and blind
00:26:11.80\00:26:14.84
people will be able to see
Him. I thought that was pretty
00:26:14.87\00:26:16.57
awesome. All right, last
one, you ready? During creation
00:26:16.60\00:26:21.71
during creation, God made
the heaven and the earth in five
00:26:21.74\00:26:28.05
days and He rested on the
sixth day. That's not true.
00:26:28.08\00:26:33.56
He actually made the heaven
and the earth in six days and He
00:26:33.59\00:26:36.56
rested on what day? The seventh.
The seventh and what did He do
00:26:36.59\00:26:40.26
to that seventh day. He made it
holy. All right for...I love the
00:26:40.30\00:26:44.13
Sabbath. You guys can turn
around. I love the Sabbath day
00:26:44.17\00:26:46.70
It's actually my favorite day
of the week. Perfect. Let's end
00:26:46.74\00:26:49.44
with the salute for your
participation. All right.
00:26:49.47\00:26:55.14
Excellent.
