The Laborers Conference and the Meaning of Resurrection

Welcome to the laborers podcast 2023 laborers conference.

Is considered a celebrated act in the world in which we live as Christians. We must have the right knowledge and the right understanding of pride. God hates the sin. God sent his son into the world to die for sin.

2023 laborers conference. But just as a Jew.

And there was brother Dan. For the day itself, he's gonna be with us too. We got Tyler. He's gonna be speaking big Johnny. He's gonna be speaking. Jonathan Foster is gonna be speaking Jesse Gomez the Chicano Knox.

He's gonna be speaking. Jeremy is gonna be doing a breakout session for us. He got in a little late. And so we're gonna give him a breakout session. Who am I missing? I'll be doing Thursday night. So come early even though it says pre-conference.

Don't don't skip out on the pre-conference. That's right, I'm gonna be speaking at the pre-conference and I look forward to seeing you there. I was gonna write a tiger into the church. So we want to talk about Resurrection since we celebrate that day coming up.

This Sunday. This is Good Friday, and then we're rolling up on resurrection Sunday. And so we want to we want to honor that day even though we honor Christ. He is he is the Lord of the Sabbath. He is Gained victory conquered death.

And so we want to honor him and remember that every day but especially the day that we reserve to remember That that special occasion. Because he died for us. He died for those that would believe in him and he he wiped away our dead and it took away the wrath of God that we deserve but by his life his death resurrection and Who he is and his mercy and grace on us so All that we can do to celebrate him.

We want to do it. And so that's right what we want to talk about the significance of the resurrection. So let me jump in. With the first question. If we want to if we want to go in order that's fine or anybody want to jump in so my call shot.

Save me for three or four. Y 'all go ahead.

Okay. Well if we if we go in order, then you'll have number three, so that'll work. That'll work out. Good perfect Big John. Yes, sir was the bodily bodily resurrection from the dead. One of the prophecies to be fulfilled of the Messiah.

If so, where.

Old Testament Prophecies of the Messiah's Resurrection

So There's first of all, yes to do like what the cloud does. Yes. There's a couple places one obviously you think about in a Psalm 16 for not suffer Beloved to see decay right. And obviously that couldn't have been talking about David because he's still in the ground.

And that's been quoted in Hebrews. I think it is or at least in Corinthians and then also in Hosea and oh No, I'm having difficulties with Internet are here we go. So in Hosea 5 14 And 6 2 and like a young line of the house of Judah I even I will tear them down and go away.

I will take them away and no one shall rescue. I'll return again my place until they acknowledge the offense and they will seek seek my face in my affliction. They will earnestly seek me. Oh come let us return to the Lord for he has torn but he will heal for he has torn.

He will heal us. He was stricken, but he will bind us up after two days. He'll revive us on the third day. He will raise us up. We may live in his sight. Some have said this is a Old Testament Prophecy of the Risen Savior and then you've got Suppose Jesus himself saying that just like Jonah was in the belly of the fish for three days and three nights.

So must the Son of Man be in the in the in the earth. So in a lot of ways. By Jesus's own account. I would say that Jonah the story of Jonah why it wasn't told Prophetically was a foreshadowing of Things to come and then Paul would later on say that all the things that we see Sabbath feast days.

No, thanks, just a sign pointing to the gospel.

And I think that Jonah illustration Just a tad go for the the Hebrew word that we transliterate as Jonah is your now and it means dove. It's it means dove which is in that Hebrew term was if it was a word of endearment.

It was a kind of like I'm saying my beloved. So we see this in Song of Solomon several times. I'm actually talking about this in Sunday's episode that Christ tapified in the the man in the Song of Solomon refers to the church as my dove as my beloved.

And of course, we see that in light of The words of God when the Christ was baptized, this is my son in whom I am well-pleased. I Think you could take a little bit of a linguistic liberty there and understand that word dove or Jonah as My beloved.

There you go.

Hey, hey Tyler, I really appreciate you bringing in what you're learning from Song of Solomon and Applying it and what you know, where's applicable to what we're talking about? But you know what you're doing.

You're making us all really hungry to be listening to bread of the word podcast. Amen, I appreciate that. It's really good stuff. Everybody feels dumber after having talked to Tyler.

Thank you for that Tyler. We appreciate you brother. I do appreciate it. I do appreciate it. I appreciate being here.

And I appreciate that verse that you you brought the first one you brought up big John in Psalm 16 because it's It's a hot topic in some circles today, but it speaks not just to the resurrection because Some there's some verses that you could You could understand as a spiritual spiritual resurrection, you know being born again Coming to life, but it says Will not see decay.

That's right and It's got to be speaking of his body bodily resurrection. That's right. You think about it in terms just of the plain reading of it when you think about.

Spiritual the first thing that you don't think of is physical body, right? And then when you think of decay the very first thing you think of is something dead and something that was physical so in a very Plain straightforward reading.

I don't I don't know that I would jump to a Spiritual explanation for a text like that. I'm not saying it doesn't have spiritual ramifications. Obviously it does but I think that That it if you're looking for just a plain meaning of it, which is what we want to do.

Right, we want to be contextually accurate with the text. So man.

Well, and he he proved the fulfillment of that that it was most likely talking about a physical bodily resurrection because after the fact He's meeting people, you know, he's saying touch touch my hands.

Mm-hmm. Stick your hand on my side. Yeah.

So so another thing to think about is how what what is he doing? Whenever he he explains How this is not talking about David because he says we know that David is both dead and buried and we know we know where He's buried in.

So one of the things that you got to keep in mind that is is rampant today even there's a Once it's podcast here called one for Israel or something like that. But in any case I was watching a YouTube documentary where they ask Hebrews Hebrew nationals that they're in Israel that was in Jerusalem most of the time when they film it and they asked them to read Isaiah 53 and their understanding of Isaiah 53 is incorrect.

They view Isaiah 53 is somehow Judea Israel is being written about in Isaiah 53 when certainly I say 53 cannot be being talked about in Israel which probably as good of a example of Jesus fulfilling an Old Testament prophecy as any when you consider a man that we just deemed him not stricken a man of sorrow stricken grief, but he We I can't quote it all but to some effect My stripes were here for it, please the Lord to crush him upon him he bear the iniquities of us all in any case the It's very clear that Isaiah 53 is talking about Jesus and any in any any kind of Intelligent mind looking at it.

We'll see that he's talking about atheists would read that and know that we must be talking about Jesus, right? So You would have to look you would have to look at it. You you really need to suppress this truth in order to believe a lie in other words and I think That maybe there was some of that stuff beginning to start with Israel even then they were reading themselves into the text instead of reading the Messiah into the text and and the writer of the New Testament Was saying whoa.

Whoa. Whoa, we know where David's buried. That's right I can take you right now and show you his bones in a jar But this Lord that we serve he's alive. That's right.

I Had the wonderful opportunity to as I was coming home from a mission trip Overseas to have that 13-hour flight. Part of that was next to an Orthodox Jew studying to be a rabbi. And we talked about Isaiah 53 a little bit.

It was me my pastor and this guy we were talking for a bit. Not like antagonistic or anything, but we just kind of started talking. So what about Isaiah 53 and he absolutely said that hey, he didn't know who Isaiah was because he knows the Hebrew names not the Transliterated Greek like we have in Isaiah.

But He hadn't gotten that far in the the Old Testament yet in his rabbinic studies. So he didn't have an answer. But off the top of his head he would say it was probably either Isaiah or Maybe David that they're talking about there.

Yeah, so you absolutely see this that I saw this myself a little bit.

Tyler when Jesus said it is finished.

What what was finished? What was he referring to when he said that in a word atonement and that's that's a word that we have Had to invent when William Tyndale set out to put the Bible in English. There were a lot of things in the Bible that there weren't words for in English yet.

One of them was atonement. No, there was tabernacle and church and some of those but atonement was this idea of bearing another sins. You can get a little more technical than that, but literally the word he came up with we talked about with Leviticus.

Was it it's at one meant it's the means by which we become at one with God. Leviticus 17 says that I'm sorry. I'm on the wrong page. Leviticus 17 11 says for the life of the flesh is in the blood and I have given it to you upon the altar To make an atonement for your souls.

Yeah for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul Says in Deuteronomy that the priest shall make atonement. So when the Christ enters the scene when he Descends when the beloved comes down the mountain he is Taking the role of priests not in the sense as the Levites are that he is something older something better something greater Than what the priests did in the book of Leviticus.

But he's still acting as a priest nonetheless and so he goes and offers himself To deal with our sins to bear our sins in his body as it says in 2nd Peter chapter 2. And so when he says it is finished It is accomplished that the final pain sacrifice for sin has been given out that he has bore the wrath of God.

In our place in in the stead of sinners Christ has died. Hey, man, so when it says in the Greek if I'm saying it right a to less die.

That's right close. I don't know how to speak Greek, but I know it spells.

And it literally means it is finished, but it's generally used. Was generally in that context was used in reference to payment to debts to squaring a debt that that debt is is covered that when a debt was covered in that time period that the Stockbroker or whatever term you want to use then would take his pen and he'd write over the the bill.

Tate a less day. That's right. And that's that is that's atonement. That is a picture of what the Old Testament calls atonement. Is that what what we owed? Because the wages of sin is death Christ has paid for and has written over it tate a less day.

Hey, man, what you owe you owe no more. Wow. Amazing.

Before we go any further Let me give a shout out to here. I stand theology podcast. I don't I can't see who's watching but it does tell us how many so I want to give a shout out to here. I stand theology podcast Followers on Facebook.

We have five viewers from here. I stand theology podcast. Thank you guys so much and Let us know that you're watching ask a question. We appreciate you guys and the guys on truth and love Network and Folks are on my page.

We appreciate you as well. Let us know that you're watching question number three. Where does the Bible specifically say that Jesus conquered death had victory over death or defeated death?

Christ's Victory Over Death in Colossians and Hebrews

Well, I'm glad that you asked it's my turn. And as I told you all in the in them in them in our messenger thread I'm cranked up about this. It's exciting. Because the I mean the resurrection man, that's it.

Let me let me quote it one of the old hymns right here. It says on that resurrection morning when all the dead in Christ shall rise. Praise the Lord. I'll have a new body. I'll have a new life. Sewn in weakness raised in power.

Ready to live in paradise. I'll have a new body. Praise the Lord. I'll have a new life. Hey, that is the hope of the Christian. I mean that is it is the the difference between the Christian religion and every other religion.

Oh, yeah is the resurrection of the dead now. Y 'all I have to excuse me if I if I decide to preach on this. But I'm gonna read the scripture right to prove to prove my answer to this question so the Apostle Paul in the book of Colossians is Writing to the church at Colossae and he says this.

See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit according to human tradition. According to the elemental spirits of this world and not according to Christ for in him dwells the fullness of the Godhead bodily and You have been filled in him who is the head of all rule and authority.

Paul goes on to say this in him. You were crucified with a cruise or I'm sorry in him. You were circumcised made with a circumcision made without hands. How by putting off the body of flesh by the circumcision of Christ having been buried with him in Baptism in which you were also raised with him through faith in the power of the working of God who and The scripture says raised him from the dead and you Who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh?

God made alive together with him having forgiven us all Trespasses and here it comes by canceling the record of debt stood against us with its legal demands. Not only that I feel like Billy Mays on an oxy clean commercial here, but wait, there's more.

Right this he set aside Nailing it to his cross. There's the death Nailing it to his cross and he did this. The King James says he spoiled the Principalities and powers. The ESB says he disarmed the rulers and authorities and he put them to an open shame.

How by triumph over them in it listen before before Jesus? Death was a one-way street. Jesus is the only man that ever faced death and he came out alive. That's exactly right by his own power he came out of the grave on that third day.

So what does that mean? How do we know like your question states here? How do we know Jesus conquered death? Well, the Bible says he raised from the dead. It's really quite simple. It's really quite simple and in that he had victory over death or defeated death again.

It's really quite simple the picture that's painted in this Colossians passage. Is that he I mean he embarrassed? The principalities and the powers. All their lives the book of Hebrew can go into the Hebrews.

You can go to the book of Hebrews. I believe it's the second chapter. I won't go there right now and I'll give these other guys their turn back here. You go brother. You keep on going. Listen in Hebrews.

It says that he that he came to Deliver those us people humanity who all their lives spent our time in fear of death that he came to destroy the power of death and he destroyed the works of Satan and my friend that is why that is why we can say just in that I mean, there's there's a whole Bible, right?

But that's why we can that's why I can say this. I know Jesus conquered death. I know victory. Jesus had victory over death, and I know Jesus defeated death. The what another one of the old songs, right?

You asked me how I know he lives the old song says he lives within my heart. Someone will say what's that proof? Well, I can say that but what is the evidence? What is the demonstration of the power of Christ?

It is this that Christ Can find the sinner man. He can find the sinner woman. He can find the sinner boy. He can find the sinner girl. It don't matter how high you go or how low you go. It don't matter what rock you hide under or what pull up over your head.

He's there and my friend one day all men will give account of their sin before God. Why because he is not dead he is alive. And he is according to the scriptures the judge of both the living and the dead.

I was looking forward to that that that rant you was getting ready to take because I think you repeated it maybe twice. But I was looking for you to keep going with it. It was it was him. It was him. It was him.

And you could just go on with all the things that he has done that's right. Well, but we could just all repeat that over and over it was him it was him. Mmm, that was good. Well, you want a three and four and if four is related to that question, so question four and is Speaking about the the victory and conquering and defeating death.

Does this reference to Jesus resurrection? Which which you answered it does refer to Jesus resurrection. If so, what made this event different? From the people Jesus raised from the dead prior because this is what I was thinking when I when I asked that question.

So we know that Jesus raised people from the dead in his ministry. We know that people were raised from the dead. So it seems just on the outside Death was defeated. I mean they were dead now. So in some way some fashion or form Death was defeated.

So how does Jesus the feeding death with the resurrection.

Resurrection, Eschatology, and the Last Enemy Death

Differ from those Resurrections one word or actually be two words and a one of those slash marks between them. The difference is this Jesus was resurrected from the dead the widow of Nain's boy Jairus's Wasn't Jairus's daughter, but the widow of Nain's boy Lazarus.

They were they were resuscitated. They were brought back to life. But guess what? They still had to die again and boy just to put it plain that had to suck. Yeah, yeah, I'll be honest with y 'all. That's the only way I can put that right, but they were Resuscitated they were brought back to life, but Jesus is the only one Who was raised from the dead?

Never to die again. That's right. So I want to pin on something on that.

I was sharing this with Phil at work the other day, and I hope he's listening. I hope he's give his life to the Lord. Larry, you know, I'm talking to and uh, I Think it is as remarkable that Christ died.

We're we're made abundantly clear all throughout scripture for the wages of sin is death, but we know there was no sin in Christ, right? So now it isn't like The Romans can kill him. So, I mean think about it for a second this death that we die because of the curse.

Because of sin. Well, he had no inheritance sin because he had no earthly father. Therefore he had no sin by way of inheritance. So he is literally the only person who is sinless so it is it. I Think this is one account of Matthew.

You see some other folks get up from the dead when Jesus is crucified. Yeah, we don't talk about it very often because there's some crazy stuff that must have went on. You're talking about an encounter in creation.

That was so Remarkable this has never happened everywhere in Ever before nor could have it breaks all the rules that nature. It were set up by God that to keep and that is that God died. Man, he made him sin who knew no sin second try against five and twenty one.

This is so that he could first of all die. Yeah, second of all so that the sin that was mine Could be imputed on someone who was sinless. That's right. This is such a phenomenon. This is it's had to have been such a crazy encounter of God's holiness of God's grace of God's justice and God's love all Come and crashing together in one spot on top of Calvary's heel with wooden crosses the backdrop that creation Shutters the sky turns black the veils rent the graves open and dead people get up who were saints of all.

That's right. It's like what what else is going to happen? That's why these Romans who were who were Animals but good at killing people said he had to have been God. That's right. This is an incredible event that we don't just wax poetic over and say well he died for my sins.

Y 'all, please stand up and let's go ahead and start the benediction. No, right. God had to die to make a man right with him. Amen, and then it wasn't Complete this this salvation wasn't complete while I do believe Tyler's right I believe that on that cross at atonement that the wrath of due man the wrath due sinners was being Cast upon the Lord in that moment, and I think that's the cup that he was wanting to be passed from him.

But it was God's will to be done. And I think is in that moment That all that sin and all that wrath and all that justice is allowed to be satisfied. John first epistle of John chapter 2 verse 2 says that he became the Propitiation for our sin it was answered for this is an incredible thing the Proverbs I think it's Proverbs 7 and something Lord.

I don't know if that's right or not. I think it's 7 says that that you can't pardon the wicked or condemn the righteous both or abomination before the Lord. But on that cross on that cross the righteous was condemned and though and the wicked were Justified and but three days later Three days later so that they would be hope He shook off death and got up man.

Hey, man, I get a bit costly. I can't help it. My God died for me praise the Lord and then destroyed death so that it so that it never had to be hanging over my head. Anymore since their life is always there.

Man, he's a good God. Hey, man. I.

Know that I have I have never Thought about what you just said. We talked about the Resurrection being a miracle and how amazing it was but we know how powerful God is and raising somebody from the dead is nothing for God, but.

What a miracle that God died. That's right. He he had to humble himself. From that position to become a man, that's right so that that could happen.

Says in Exodus that no man can see my face and live and Yet Christ came down and we beheld his glory.

Amen has died as the glory of the only begotten of God. He humbled himself, yes Let this mind be in you which was also on Christ Jesus Philippians 2 5 through 11. Who being in the form of God did not think it robbery to be equal with God.

But he made himself of no reputation and he took upon him the form of a servant And came in the likeness of men and being found in fashion as a man He humbled himself and became obedient unto death. Even the death of the cross.

Wherefore God also has highly exalted him and given him the name that is above every name that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow of things in heaven of things in the earth and things under the earth and that Every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.

Amen. Amen.

John let's head back up to you brother. And if you wanted to add anything else. And you've you've hit on this question already a lot. Just not. I haven't specifically asked it. So putting all those things together to answer this question.

Is there a connection between the resurrection and and that death that was promised to Adam and Eve? Absolutely.

Absolutely for Adam fell and because Adam fell Sin, and then the earth was cursed and sin entered the world and all men die by this. We call the second. Adam became a life-giving spirit and all might live in him.

Amen. All died Adam all live in Christ. Amen. As the head of the first family Adam dropped the ball. He had dominion in that garden and he dropped the ball Christ picked it up and became the head of the family of God and he don't drop the ball.

He doesn't fail he doesn't know how to fail. And Everywhere that Adam failed in such a terrible way Christ succeeded and fixed what was torn. Amen. Amen.

So here's our last question on this this set. Tyler you're next on the list brother if these references are to the resurrection Three days after the crucifixion concerning victory over death conquering death.

Why does 1st Corinthians 15 say that he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. And a lot that last enemy is death. This is where I think it gets challenging for me. And I'm curious to hear what you brothers say because we're saying on one hand.

He is is defeated death. He's conquered death but then 1st Corinthians 15, of course quoting Psalm 110 and Hebrews and so many other Books quotes on 110, but it says that he must he must reign he's putting all his enemies under his feet.
