1
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:07,400
Just like they had been laid 
there by Joseph, of Arimathea, 

2
00:00:07,900 --> 00:00:13,300
and yet, Jesus body had been 
raised and was completely out of

3
00:00:13,300 --> 00:00:15,300
that. 
Not only that John makes a 

4
00:00:15,300 --> 00:00:18,700
really good point over the next 
couple of few chapters about how

5
00:00:18,700 --> 00:00:22,100
the concave shape of the turbine
that they wrapped around the 

6
00:00:22,100 --> 00:00:26,800
head will steal laying over by 
itself in a different place. 

7
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,500
Making just enough room for the 
neck and the face of Jesus. 

8
00:00:31,900 --> 00:00:36,500
Turbed grave clothes. 
No wonder, they were didn't come

9
00:00:36,500 --> 00:00:38,500
see the place where the Lord 
lay? 

10
00:00:39,300 --> 00:00:43,200
No wonder when they saw it. 
They saw and they believed 

11
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:47,600
because they witnessed a real 
miraculous event in the case of 

12
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,500
Jesus. 
It was a real Resurrection. 

13
00:00:53,300 --> 00:00:58,000
Everybody that witnessed it. 
Realize they had reached a 

14
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,600
crucible in their life. 
Bible says it's some believed 

15
00:01:02,700 --> 00:01:05,300
many believed. 
In fact, some didn't they were 

16
00:01:05,300 --> 00:01:07,200
still skeptical. 
In fact, they were more Beyond 

17
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,100
skeptical. 
They were actually angry. 

18
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,500
And so they went to tell the 
Sanhedrin, the authorities of 

19
00:01:13,500 --> 00:01:16,200
what they had seen. 
The authorities concluded that 

20
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:21,900
Jesus was already gone too far, 
but with this many, in fact, 

21
00:01:21,900 --> 00:01:26,900
the, the Sanhedrin high priest 
said, If we let this go, they 

22
00:01:26,900 --> 00:01:30,100
will all believe on him. 
I'll tell you. 

23
00:01:30,100 --> 00:01:31,900
That's the truth. 
When you understand the 

24
00:01:31,900 --> 00:01:35,100
resurrection of Jesus Christ, 
when you've become a witness in 

25
00:01:35,100 --> 00:01:38,400
your soul, by the bearing 
witness of the the disciples in 

26
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,900
by the Living Word of God, you 
become a believer. 

27
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,900
When you're brought to the 
resurrection and the life, you 

28
00:01:46,900 --> 00:01:50,500
hear him say because I live, you
shall live also. 

29
00:01:51,100 --> 00:01:57,500
And so this was incredible 
powerful event and Sanhedrin 

30
00:01:57,500 --> 00:02:02,700
knew it and the Bible says that 
they begin their plot to kill 

31
00:02:02,700 --> 00:02:07,300
him. 
Lazarus was walking. 

32
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:13,200
Talking bearing witness. 
In fact, they threw a big party 

33
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,600
six days before the Passover, 
which was right. 

34
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,800
Right. 
Next up to Palm Sunday. 

35
00:02:18,700 --> 00:02:22,700
They had a party, they had a 
banquet and as you can imagine, 

36
00:02:22,700 --> 00:02:25,600
Martha was hosting in, Mary was 
cooking. 

37
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,800
She was the one who seemed 
always be in the kitchen. 

38
00:02:29,900 --> 00:02:33,600
But taking care of everything, 
Barth was always in the kitchen,

39
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,400
taking care of everything, 
hosting the party and Mary was 

40
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,900
at the feet of Jesus. 
And Jesus was there. 

41
00:02:40,100 --> 00:02:45,800
Reclining ready to be served? 
His disciples were there. 

42
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,800
The party that had witnessed all
of the Resurrection events of 

43
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,900
Lazarus were there. 
They were going to have a 

44
00:02:53,908 --> 00:03:01,400
celebration. 
And Mary took out a bottle of 

45
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:09,700
spikenard Mer a burial pointment
with an extremely strong odor. 

46
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,300
And whereas Martha had been 
worried about the odor at the 

47
00:03:14,300 --> 00:03:18,300
tomb of death. 
Here was something that was 

48
00:03:18,300 --> 00:03:22,300
happening. 
Mary took that little literally 

49
00:03:22,300 --> 00:03:25,000
in the Greek. 
It says leader, that it's not 

50
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,000
our leader. 
It was a Roman measurement about

51
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,400
12 ounces. 
There was a man that knew 

52
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,200
finances in the group Judas 
Iscariot, he kept the bag, he 

53
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,300
kept the money, he was always 
keeping up with the price tag, 

54
00:03:38,300 --> 00:03:45,300
and he looked at an estimated 
that that 12 oz little vessel of

55
00:03:46,700 --> 00:03:51,800
Nard was worth a hundred three. 
I missed three hundred denarii, 

56
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:56,400
a denarii was a day's wage, 
three hundred denarii is a which

57
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:04,800
is a Year's worth of work. 
And that was the cost of that. 

58
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:12,800
And she took that flask and 
anointed the feet of Jesus. 

59
00:04:14,900 --> 00:04:18,700
And wiped. 
His feet. 

60
00:04:19,899 --> 00:04:25,100
With her hair. 
Some have suggested. 

61
00:04:25,100 --> 00:04:28,300
And I remember years ago, skip 
Ryan, giving a very Vivid 

62
00:04:28,300 --> 00:04:32,100
illustration about this how that
this particular nard probably 

63
00:04:32,100 --> 00:04:36,200
was so strong in its pungent 
odor, that it would remain upon 

64
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:40,500
a body for days and days and 
days the odor. 

65
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,100
This odor state-owned, Jesus 
body, that whole week. 

66
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:49,300
It was on his body when they 
laid him in the Tomb, It was a, 

67
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,600
a pouring out of the pressure 
cycle, an indicator of one of 

68
00:04:53,608 --> 00:04:57,900
the gifts that the Magi had 
brought, here's the emphasis 

69
00:04:57,900 --> 00:05:02,400
upon not death, but upon the res
upon burial. 

70
00:05:03,100 --> 00:05:07,000
It's important to remember that 
Jesus really died. 

71
00:05:07,700 --> 00:05:10,100
He just didn't Swoon. 
He just didn't faint. 

72
00:05:10,100 --> 00:05:12,300
He just wasn't in temporary 
shock. 

73
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,300
And then in the coolness of the 
Tomb, he revived and rejuvenated

74
00:05:16,300 --> 00:05:19,100
himself and was able to get up 
and go and convince his 

75
00:05:19,100 --> 00:05:22,000
disciples that after that awful 
beating in that awful 

76
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,600
crucifixion ordeal that he was 
just find it. 

77
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,200
Had been raised from the dead 
know Christ had really died and 

78
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:35,900
that burial appointment was the 
Ceiling significance of that, 

79
00:05:35,900 --> 00:05:39,900
burial and Jesus came out of the
Tomb. 

80
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,600
What is the whole, the whole 
point? 

81
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,400
As I said before, let's just 
look at a, at a few things. 

82
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,800
In the scripture number one, 
throughout all this ordeal 

83
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:55,600
notice the emotions of Jesus in 
chapter in verse 5 of the 

84
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,900
chapter. 
It says that Jesus loved as the 

85
00:05:58,900 --> 00:06:03,200
word of God P. 
He loved Lazarus. 

86
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,400
In fact, when they sent for him 
they said this is the man that 

87
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,100
you love. 
Come he sick. 

88
00:06:13,300 --> 00:06:18,800
When Jesus saw the multitude of 
the throng around, the The 

89
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:23,100
Grieving ordeal that was going 
on there, he was the Bible says 

90
00:06:23,100 --> 00:06:30,700
that he was deeply moved. 
And actually, the word is Jesus 

91
00:06:30,700 --> 00:06:36,900
was moved with an emotive force.
That was approaching adrenal 

92
00:06:36,900 --> 00:06:40,500
anger. 
Nothing in the world was more 

93
00:06:40,500 --> 00:06:43,400
repugnant to him than the 
thought of death. 

94
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:49,500
And Jesus from all eternity 
said, I will come and I will be 

95
00:06:49,500 --> 00:06:57,700
the death of death in my death. 
And Jesus, I believe, at that 

96
00:06:57,700 --> 00:07:00,500
point was more resolved than 
ever to go to the Cross. 

97
00:07:00,500 --> 00:07:04,600
So the not only Lazarus could 
live, Mary, could live Martha 

98
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,000
could live the Believers around,
them could live but that you and

99
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:13,400
I can live forever more. 
In fact, it says that when the 

100
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:18,800
people saw Jesus in that state 
of grief, Jesus wept. 

101
00:07:20,300 --> 00:07:23,900
Jesus wept. 
And the observation was that 

102
00:07:23,900 --> 00:07:28,100
they looked at and said behold 
how much he loved Lazarus. 

103
00:07:28,100 --> 00:07:31,500
The word, there's not a copy. 
It's phileo, the Brotherly Love.

104
00:07:31,500 --> 00:07:36,300
They a a kinship that is 
supported and mutually 

105
00:07:36,300 --> 00:07:40,000
supportive a a wholesome and 
healthy kind of love. 

106
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:45,000
For his fellow man. 
It must have been some kind of 

107
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,600
indicator that which the father 
had imparted to the son when he 

108
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,600
says, God. 
So loved the world that he gave 

109
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,200
his only son that whosoever 
believeth in him should not 

110
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,600
perish. 
And then it said just before the

111
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:04,500
reservoir, the resurrection of 
Lazarus that Jesus was deeply 

112
00:08:04,500 --> 00:08:11,400
moved again. 
This notion of our Salvation 

113
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:18,500
Christ dying for our sin and in 
our place, being buried in the 

114
00:08:18,500 --> 00:08:23,100
Tomb and they're resting all day
Saturday, resting on the Sabbath

115
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,600
in the Tomb. 
Fulfilling all of the rest and 

116
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,700
Sabbath law. 
The it is finished, it's over 

117
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:35,500
being, they're honoring Shabbat 
which is quit, stop no. 

118
00:08:35,500 --> 00:08:38,600
More of your own works, the work
of the Lord, and then being 

119
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,500
raised upon the the first day, 
the Third Day from the 

120
00:08:41,500 --> 00:08:44,700
crucifixion raised upon the 
first day of the week, their own

121
00:08:44,700 --> 00:08:50,000
Easter Sunday morning, the very 
first one, This is a operation. 

122
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:56,600
This is a plan fulfilled. 
This is what God intended for 

123
00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:02,600
us, to catch the death, the 
burial, and the resurrection. 

124
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:19,100
Notice a sequence of verses 
beginning in verse 42, Tony 

125
00:09:19,100 --> 00:09:22,400
Jesus lifted up his eyes and 
said, father, I thank you that 

126
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,700
you have heard me. 
I know that you always hear me, 

127
00:09:24,900 --> 00:09:28,200
but I've said this on account of
the people standing around that,

128
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:32,900
they may believe that you sent 
me. 

129
00:09:35,100 --> 00:09:39,100
And then verse 45 in many of the
Jews therefore who had come with

130
00:09:39,100 --> 00:09:44,500
Mary and had seen what he did 
believed on him. 

131
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:51,600
And then verse 40 48 this is now
the chief priest of the council 

132
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:56,000
saying if we let him go on like 
this, everyone would believe in 

133
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:01,800
him and the Romans will come and
take away both our place and our

134
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,600
nation. 
But one of them Caiaphas who was

135
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,400
the high priest that year? 
Said to them you know, nothing 

136
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,700
at all? 
Nor do you understand that? 

137
00:10:09,700 --> 00:10:12,800
It's better for you that one man
should die for the people. 

138
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,300
Not that the whole nation should
perish. 

139
00:10:16,700 --> 00:10:18,100
He didn't realize what he was 
saying. 

140
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,800
He did not say this of his own 
accord, but being high priest 

141
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:27,900
that year he prophesied, that 
Jesus would die for the nation 

142
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:33,500
and not for the nation only. 
But also together into one, the 

143
00:10:33,500 --> 00:10:38,300
children of God who are 
scattered abroad. 

144
00:10:40,700 --> 00:10:44,600
That was the purpose was to 
gather into one. 

145
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:50,900
Not only the nation of Israel 
but to bring into that Nation to

146
00:10:50,900 --> 00:10:55,300
bring them in as Wild. 
Olive branches grafted into that

147
00:10:55,300 --> 00:11:00,400
nation into the Israel of God 
into the true New Israel. 

148
00:11:02,900 --> 00:11:07,100
All of God's children. 
Where do you stand this morning?

149
00:11:08,900 --> 00:11:11,200
Are you one of God's children 
have you believed? 

150
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,100
As a resurrection of, Jesus 
Christ, made any difference to 

151
00:11:15,100 --> 00:11:22,300
you at all. he said because I 
live, you shall live also Your 

152
00:11:22,300 --> 00:11:25,000
faith. 
Your trust goes into him and 

153
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:32,100
what he did died for you was 
buried rose again for your 

154
00:11:32,100 --> 00:11:35,600
justification. 
Here him this morning, call upon

155
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,700
him this morning, receive him 
this morning, the eternally 

156
00:11:39,700 --> 00:11:43,400
saved, join with all of God's 
children one day and that Great 

157
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:48,000
Harvest that great Gathering
