The Resurrection as History’s Supreme Event

Resurrection of Jesus. Now some people dispute that and say the most awesome thing that ever happened was the birth of Jesus. It was country to all nature. It was born of a virgin. And therefore the supreme event in history Jesus divided history.

History is a B. I know dominion the year of our Lord or BC before Christ. But I still hold my ground and say that the resurrection is the most amazing thing. Oh Dr. Shepherd is a great Baptist preacher.

There used to be some great Baptist preachers. He was a great Baptist preacher and he said this. Without the incarnation that is a theological term for the birth of Christ without the incarnation the resurrection is impossible.

And without the resurrection the incarnation is incomplete. There are two sides of one coin. As brother chip reminders in his prayer Jesus died for our sins, but he rose again. The Apostle Paul gave us I think the most profound things ever written and We remember he gives us 58 verses in 1 Corinthians 13.

It's not as possible as one Clinton. Pardon me 1 Corinthians 15. It's not as possible as 1 Corinthians 30 1 Corinthians 12 and 40 but it's a magnificent display a Magnificent reminder of the death and the miracle and the Lord Jesus Christ resurrection.

Now Paul if you give him Hebrews and I think he was Hebrews. He builds a pyramid of 14 epistles. And then when he's built up pyramid if the pyramid is like this on a fine point He turns the pyramid over and balances it all on one thing.

All those 14 epistles sway they they stand or they crumble. Under the impact of one thing the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. He's very plain about it. He says if there's no resurrection you're yet in your sins we have a brother from.

And he's right from Bethany tonight and Their present president or principal of the school wrote a book years ago saved by his life. And if Jesus Christ is not living tonight we're sunk. You know on this one thing the resurrection of Jesus billions and billions of people's eternity rests on that one site.

Sin Entered Through One Man and Is Canceled Through Another

Now it's almost incredible to think that every lot rotten and lousy place every every world. It's ever been instigated every massacre every every unclean thing every woman selling a body on the street all the rottenness through.

And corruption through drugs and so forth all became because of one man by one man's sin or disobedience sin enter into the world. There's only one thing more amazing than that is that by one man's righteousness and one man's offering that sin.

For those who believe can be canceled. We used to sing in Sunday school there was no other good enough to pay the price for sin. He only could unlock the gates of heaven. And let us in. I often wonder I Don't got to admit you've been in church services that would have better the funeral service.

And I ask you in God's name with all the power of being how can the service be bad if we have a living Christ? By the same token tell your preacher. I say what I'd preach. I will never produce dry sermons.

That's a physical it may not be a biological Possibility that surely through their spiritual faith. As I said very clearly to those of us who preach the word to this man. Will he look the man that trembles at his word and the reason that sinners don't tremble at the altar is because preachers don't Tend to deliver that word.

The Gospel of John and the Resurrection Church

Let's look at this Marvelous 20th chapter in the gospel recorded by John. I think we need to remember this again that they Gospel John is the last thing written in the New Testament. You get John and then one two three pieces and the book of the revelation.

And you know by the way the Bible set up we read Matthew Mark Luke and John and then Acts and Romans follow on as the children. Say and the kind of thing about the design order that they you know there's not too much about Matthew Mark and Luke.

Or even John, but oh when you get to the epistles. You know the epistles are only an extension of the four gospels. That's all. They're just an elaboration. They're showing it shown to us in more detail.

Now I don't know more. I don't like to use the word exciting you can get excited at the football match. But I don't know more inspiring and that's what I think every service ought to be. I Don't care if you the weight of the world on you all the in-laws and your mother-in-law and everybody else's passage all the week.

I think that when you really come into the sanctuary and really touch the hand of his government and really see received an infusion of Divine life we ought to leave every meeting electrified. There's a lot of criticism today about the electronic church.

Well the New Testament Church wasn't a great topic, but it surely was electrified. I'm glad to have done to a service on you. Couldn't be many things died and went to a service and the preacher killing a couple of beacons to start the meeting.

Will not be wonderful. Well, that's what Peter did anyhow. He killed one man. He killed one big shot and and his wife I think the most wonderful thing about the New Testament Churches. It was totally unpredictable.

You know now the new job what the Holy Ghost has to do Wednesday morning in the church office. And the hand it coming in the church. We're gonna sing this and I'm gonna do that and we're gonna finish at 12 o 'clock because lunch is waiting and God can go get Out of here Lord, but be back by 7 tonight.

And so they turn at Wednesday. You say that's almost blasphemy to say it. It's not blasphemous to do it. The New Testament Church went everywhere. What did they go preaching? They went preaching the resurrection of Jesus from the dead.

Peter’s Pentecost Sermon and the Work of the Trinity

Again the most astounding miracle remember in the second chapter of Acts where Peter gets up. You know he's always boiling over is volatile and vocal and as we'd say shoots his mouth off. If you read carefully you discover that Jesus spoke to Peter.

Not only more than he spoke to any other individual Apostle but more than all the other apostles put together. And conversely Peter spoke to Jesus more than all the other apostles put together. It's always on the ball.

There's always something to say. One day he ran away from a woman's finger boy boy, he's not the first one to do that. After all Elijah still up to 800 prophets, but he ran away from one woman's smart guy.

Notice you put a finger up and off he went. This woman said you with him you speak his language. No, I never heard about him. I know him. All right must have been an awful experience for Peter and Jesus finally didn't turn up, but on the day of Pentecost Peter points the thing and they say you crucified the Lord of Glory by wicked hands, but him up God raised up.

Now I'm going to size up him up God raised up means of the father. We've seen you seen it before the meetings over it wouldn't be a Friday night meeting if you didn't think God in three persons blessed Trinity him up God raised up.

Remember that room of a man saying to Jesus you better watch your step. I put you to death and Jesus is not possible. No, man's gonna take my life for me. I will lay it down and I will take it up again.

So it's the work of God the father. It's the work of God the Son. And Romans 8 says what the spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead. I've never realized the Holy Ghost can't do anything that small.

When it was chaos and he brought cosmos out of it, he just brooded over it. That's what the Word of God says. And then one day that same mighty Holy Spirit brooded over the bare empty Matrix of the Virgin Mary and he conceived Jesus Christ in it and that same Holy Spirit came up a bunch of men.

They were all failures. They'd all deserted. They'd gotten their vows. And yet as they waited on the upper room the Holy Spirit came upon them. And a bunch of unlearned. Unlearned so-called ignorant men.

They had no financial backing. They had no great system like we had. They had no electronic media, but they turned the world upside down. And I love that phrase of the Apostle Paul that he says having nothing and yet possessing all things my god now He possess everything and do nothing.

It was up millions and dollars tens of millions of dollars to preach TV and and Radio messages around the world. We've been doing it for 30 years. Is the world any better? No, but I know. You never make up for the living agency.

After all if God wanted he could have made donkeys talk. Don't say he does that tonight. I'll be after you but anyhow. He made Balaam's ass talk. He could make the trees to talk. He could have sent angels in thousands as he'd said that you dive over the carapace in heaven and go to earth.

They've been working five minutes in underwriting the world, but he didn't let angels do it. And the Himalayas right when he says angels never felt the joy that our salvation brings. Why did they do it?

Christ’s Personal Love and Wesleyan Revival

Well, Paul believed that God so loved the world. And not only that he wrote in Ephesians that Christ loved the church. But he said he did something infinitely more than love the world. And he did something infinitely more than love the church.

He loved me and gave himself for me. And he wasn't a drunkard. He wasn't a man of the prison they called a mile long. He wasn't a man whose brain was all shattered with drugs. He was a scholar, an English gentleman, one of the finest men that maybe ever taught the English so.

And he had been trained in the ministry. His grandfather wrote hymns, his father wrote hymns, his mother was an amazing woman. And Charles Wesley in that lovely hymn, I'm coming to thee says Long my imprisoned spirit lay fast bound in sin and nature's night.

Thine eye diffused the quickening ray, I woke the dungeon flame with light, my chain fell off. What do you mean your chain fell off? You've no change of smoking? You've no change of gentleness? You've no change of thievery?

You've no change of unfeeling? My chain's of tradition. I was fast bound in sin and nature's night. And he strode forth with his brother and they helped emancipate the whole world. I don't know how many people sing, pardon me, how many people will preach Wesley's sermons, thousands of preachers preach sermons every week.

But all around the world everybody sings Charles Wesley's wonderful hymns. Hymns, love divine, all love excelling Jesus, lover of my soul, he wrote a mere 3 ,000. And it's a shame if you don't know a lot of them, you're very ignorant, you'd better get a hymn book and memorize them.

Because some of you young people may have the joy of finishing up in prison. Did I hear an amen? Oh, sorry. Why not? That's what the early church did. They hardly got going, they put them in prison. The early church was married to poverty, prisons and persecution.

Now they're trying to marry the church to prosperity, personalities. And what? I need another P there Pardon? Popularity, my wife got it, she heard it so often. We're going to read this chapter, let's look at it, John 20.

The Empty Tomb and the Stone

This raises a lot of questions, but it answers an awful lot too. It's a lovely summary, the first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene, early when it was yet dark, to the sepulchre. And swift a stone taken away from the sepulchre, now who moved the stone?

There's a book on that, I wish you'd write, every one of you, it's called Who Moved the Stone. It's written by a man by the name of Morrison. He set off to prove the fallacy of the resurrection. And halfway through it, the stone fell on him and he got saved.

You know what the scripture says, if you fall on the stone, it will break into pieces, but if it falls on you, it will grind you to powder. Well that's what happened. Who moved the stone? Did Jesus just speak and it rolled away?

Did the angels who were sitting on it move it? It doesn't matter. But get this quite clear, the stone was not moved to let Jesus out of the sepulchre. What in the world was it open for? It was all the way to let the disciples in.

He didn't leave the stone all the way, because later he goes into this room, as it says in this chapter. And the door was shut, and the implication of the Greek word there, the doors were barred, they were fearing, they were terrified.

But the stone was all the way. Then she went off and she came to Simon Peter. Ok, let's look a bit further, verse 6. I'll have to skip down this chapter. Then came up Simon Peter following him and went into the sepulchre.

And he saw the linen clothes lie and the napkin that was about his head. What does that do for you? Anything? Well I'll tell you what it does for me, it tears the shroud of Turin to shreds. Why? Because the shroud of Turin, you have Jesus like this and you have a crown on his head.

But it says distinctly elsewhere that Jesus took the wrapping on his head. And he laid it on one side and he folded it up. I remember Dr. Chadwick saying Jesus was always very tidy. When I lived in England we never saw paper.

We used to call them serviettes, you called them napkins. In England napkins are things you put on babies. At our house we never saw paper napkins. Most civilized countries don't have them. But you know what?

Everybody at the table folded their napkin in a different way. My father folded his one way, I had a ring with my L on for Leonard. And I rolled mine up one way, my sister folded hers one way. My father used to make a bishop's mitre out of his.

And then you put a donut in there, not a donut, one of those hard nuts in there. What do you call it? No, no, no, no. A what? Not a bagel, we're not Jewish. But I like bagels. You see our scripture shatters all the silly idea of the shroud of Turin.

It was found in a Catholic 13th century monastery. There's not a bit of truth in it. Because it has Jesus with a crown of thorns on his head. He could not be laid to rest like that, his arms couldn't be out like this.

And he definitely took that, he would hurt his fingers. He would put the crown on one side or something. No sirree, he took that napkin that was on his head. And he folded it the way he always folded his napkin when he was at table.

And they identified him by that, I'm sure of that. The napkin that was about his head, lined, not with the linen cloth. But wrapped together in a place by itself. I think he just came out of that sheath that they wrapped him in.

He just came out and then he took this. As he was walking out of the sepulchre. And he laid it in a separate place by itself. As a pool that he was risen. There was no crown there at all. The napkin was about his head, okay, verse 8.

Then went in also that other disciple. Which came first to the sepulchre and he saw and believed. For as yet they knew not the scripture that he must rise again from the dead. They knew it, but they didn't know it with understanding.

The disciples went around to their own home. But Mary stood it out at the sepulchre weeping. Let's go down the chapter. Verse 17, Jesus said unto her, touch me not. For I am not yet ascended to my father.

But go to my brethren. Do you know that's the first time he ever used that word? They must have suddenly been startled. Did you hear what he said? He called us his brethren. And then he put them inside the ring and he said I ascend to my father and your father My God and your God.

Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples That she had seen the Lord and he had spoken these things. The same day at evening being the first day of the week When the doors were shut. Or as the Greek implies, when the doors were barred The disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews.

And the implication is that all the disciples were there except two. One was Thomas who was away doing something. And the other was Judas who of course had sold out to Jesus. Assembled for fear of the Jews.

Then came Jesus and stood in the midst and said What do you think he should have said? He should have come and stood and put his hands up and said Shame on the whole lot of you. You traitors, you cowards.

Shame on you. But he doesn't come to condemn. Let me put this back a minute. Jesus stood in the midst. Can you remember the hymn you sang tonight? Hail thou once despised Jesus. Hail thou Galilean king.

He's king of kings, he's lord of lords. And he stands there in the midst of a bunch of frightened Terrified men who have gone through some traumatic experiences. And they didn't know where their world was.

And all I could do was stand back. As I read that text over and over. And I said it then and maybe every hour of the night During the past week. And I said to myself there he is meek In all his majesty.

The first thing he said was I am meek and lowly at heart. And here he is. Not with a halo around his head Not with angels singing. He stands in the midst of those disciples. He stood in their midst. The older I get the more I realize How dumb the disciples were.

And I say that with respect. The only thing that startles me more is how dumb you and I are. Because they hadn't seen it. You and I have read the last chapter of the story God help us. I didn't know what was going to happen now.

But I could say to everybody. Everybody points the finger at them. They are the most ridiculed men. Two of them had already been pressing their noses to the gate. They were despised and distressed and disappointed And disgusted and dissatisfied.

And they were rushing as fast as they could to Emmaus. And that is every reason to believe all their disciples were like that too. What they used to say about princess Grace. I don't know why but anyhow.

They used to say princess Grace Her serene highness. I used to think the name was out of place. But I'll tell you what I can look at Jesus and say His serene majesty Lord the tokens of his passion Going glorious through him.

He had been through something That had no precedent. It was unprecedented. And it was unrepeated. To the end of the ages He did it. There used to be a great preacher in England By the name of Dr. Jarrett.

Read some of his books. They are very good. And he said whenever he Could get a weekend off He would go to London. And Spurgeon was preaching at that time. And Dr. F .D. Meyer was preaching at that time.

But I think the king of the pulpit As regards The type of preacher that Chip mentioned on Sunday Who got all his homiletics straight. And he had a colossal vocabulary and so forth. I think that a king of a whole bunch.

Come in if you want to come in Some chairs here if you want to come down. But Jarrett said whenever I needed a A spiritual refresher I would slip down to London. And I would. If I could get in I would hear Dr. What do you call him now?

Dr. Joseph Parker. And he said of all things I got there one Easter day And he said Joseph Parker Buried Jesus like only Parker could bury him. He got Jesus in the tomb. They put the stone over the tomb.

They put wax over the stone. They put soldiers over the wax And over the seals And over the stone. And there he was a prisoner. You see we Oh mercy. I was reading the other day What a preacher said He'd been in England.

There were all places. And he'd been to about Twenty churches. And I was impressed With one thing. In every church I went That every meeting Was totally flat Again in God's name. How can you have a dead service With a risen Christ?

Realize at this moment When Jesus is there in the tomb Every demon in hell Is looking on that tomb. Every angel in heaven Is looking on it. The disciples all Bewildered and confused. And nobody knows what's happened.

And even the high priests Are terrified. This is a mass. It would have been better If there had been an earthquake That spilt water in two. But I see more than the stone And the wax and the seal And the soldiers.

I see Satan saying On that resurrection morning Just a few more minutes. And if we can trap this man He is the son of God. I know that I witnessed I witnessed His incarnation. And God knows I've wondered many times How these disciples How did they lose contact With Jesus?

Three of them at least That see this Is miraculous. Transfiguration. You can see the glory Of eternity on him Because the light Wasn't shining on him Like a spotlight The light was on the inside. It was the light of the world It was shining out.

And there is a testimony From heaven. This is my beloved son. He was transfigured before them. And yet a vision like that Got blurred. And even those men Who had such visions Betrayed him. Now every demon in hell Is looking.

Satan says If we can keep him there We've trapped the whole human race. We can damn it We can damn it Forever and ever. It's not enough for Jesus To shed his blood Again we're not saved By his death. We're saved by his resurrection.

Resurrection Power and Captivity

He's got to pull A part of the world down As it were. He's got to do As Ephesians 2 says Lead captivity captive And give good some to men. The eternity of everybody That ever lived from Adam To the end of the age Hangs on Whether he'll get out Of that prison house or not.

And Satan says Just about ten More minutes. And he says I've tried to beat him All my life. I fought him for forty days In the wilderness. I lost every round. I fought him with death And he raised the dead I fought him with With fevers.

And he cast out the fevers He cast out devils. I've never once Been able to score. But if I can do it now It will make up For every failure in my life. A demon raises his hand And says Your majesty To Satan.

If you can get The sin of the world And roll it against that stone. Even the sin of all these So called disciples And the sin of the high priest And the sin of the Roman Empire That's been against you And all the sin Right back to the beginning Of the ages.

If you can get all the sin Against that stone You'll never lose it. And Satan says What a great idea. Why don't you roll All the sin of the world Against the stone. And I absolutely believe In my heart they did that.

If they didn't do it By implication It was there anyhow. Well I think He still might get out. What do you suggest. Your majesty. I suggest you rally Every demon in hell. Now you've got the stone The wax The seal The soldiers All the sin of the world.

And every demon With his shoulder Against that stone. They have supernatural strength. One of the latest things I read is We wonder for centuries Millenniums. How those amazing pyramids Would do it. Some of the stones Weigh.

I don't know 100 tons or more. How did they get there. And somebody said By demon power Very possibly. So you've got the stone The wax The seal The soldiers The sin of the world And every demon. And Satan says Now hold it Hold it now.

There's just 10 more seconds to go. And he says 10, 9, 8, 7, 6 5, 4, 3, 2. He's just going to say 1. And the Holy Ghost Beats him to it. How do you know. Because the word says The spirit of him That raised up Jesus From the dead did it.

It can't be anything small In case you don't know He's always big And he still baffles The wise men. Everything depends On his resurrection. If there's no resurrection I have no hope for the future. There's no coming Christ.

There's nobody The right hand of the Father To make perfect My imperfect claim. But do you see the point That he's there With these terrified people In the upper room. And it says Jesus came and stood in the midst.

I wonder Peter could hold his tongue. What does it say. It says in John's version He showed them his hands And his side. If you read the 24th chapter Of Luke It says He showed them his hands And his feet.

What's the difference. You know it says He showed them his hands And he came When the doors were shut To the disciples. You know not once In all his writings And all these. What. 22 chapters in John. 21 chapters in John.

He never refers To the apostles As apostles He always calls them Disciples. And then in Luke 24 He says He showed them his hands And his feet. Because you see In Luke he's showing us The Son of Man. And he suggests Go get hold of him.

But John is showing us The Son of Man. He says that He showed his side Where they cut fruit Near to his heart. And water came out As a sign Of the eternal love of God. Is it easy to sing. Or the whole realm Of nature mine.

Is it easy to sing. When I surveyed The wondrous cross. And originally It was written this way. Where the young prince Of glory died. Does it wonder What the angels Looked down from heaven And saw him.

When men pulled his beard And spat a big clot Of rotten dirty phlegm In his face. And when they tried To put it back He never retaliates. He showed them His hands And his side. I can imagine Peter on the inside Is bawling.

And he's saying Ridiculous, preposterous Man you've got a chance. You've got a chance To take all the shame Out of it. You can vindicate this Right now Within half an hour If you walk down The main street In Jerusalem And do some miracles.

Turn the water Into wine again. Turn the sea of Galilee Into blood Turn into blood. Let them come and sing A hallelujah chorus Round here Jesus. Everything depends On whether he's right. But remember he said Because I live You shall live also.

Jesus as the Resurrection and the Life

Now the resurrection Is not a part Of my theology. The resurrection Is a personality. Jesus says I am the resurrection. He is a. And whatever the old Pope will say He's going to broadcast On Sunday A silly old guy I don't know why But Don't you believe For a minute.

He has the keys Of the kingdom As they say Why did Jesus say I have the keys. He has the keys of what All and death. Pope doesn't have them. The Lord will never Trust them to a bachelor Anyhow Jesus has the key Of death.

They said Did you see him yesterday. What did he do. Oh he opened Blind eye. I've seen him Do that a dozen times. He's such a lunatic man. I've seen him do that Many times. He didn't tell him. Somebody's death is And he stabbed Somebody's stammering tongue.

He didn't hear the news Yesterday The whole of Jerusalem In every cafe I've seen him At the pool salon Where they sell You know The fair is on And they're selling Precious jewels From all over the world.

And it was gossip. Everyone was saying You know that wonderful man Called Lazarus. Jesus went to his tomb Yesterday. He did What did he do. Well I'll tell you what he did. He said You roll away the stone.

We want God We want Jesus To do everything Without us shifting the stone. That's our problem. And then when he He turned the water Into wine Why didn't he say Bring the water pot. What's this. A rock full of wine.

No He said You bring the water pot And you fill them with water And I will turn them Into wine. There's a human side A human responsibility. And he says Roll away the stone. Can you imagine Them all peeping Over the wall.

The high priest And all the others That went after him. The Roman soldiers. And there they are Looking over the wall. And what are we Going to do now. What are we going to do now. And he says Roll away the stone.

And they roll the stone away. And then he said With a loud voice Only twice. I think he thought With a loud voice Here and on the cross. No. And also When he said I am the water of life. You know when you say He said Lazarus come forth.

Why did he say Lazarus come forth. Because if he said Come forth All the cemeteries Would have come And it wasn't time For them to come yet. It must have been That way. Because I am the resurrection. He demonstrated He was the resurrection.

Oh mercy. How could these Disciples Fail to understand. He was going to rise From the bed. And he grazed Jairus his daughter And he grazed Lazarus. And he said Look if you steal my body And if you kill me I will still rise from the bed.

And they forgot it But they are telling God's name. You and I Have forgotten a lot More than that. You read the last Chapter in the story. You know he is the resurrection. You know he is the life. You know he is coming In clouds of glory With ten thousand of his saints And a multitude of angels.

You know he is going To settle all the world. But does it excite you. Does it stir you. No Jesus doesn't do Any spectacular thing. He just stands and mimics Lord couldn't you Just go down. Just give us a sample.

Just go down the street And lean over the wall. And some of the old saints Are buried there And say rise. And we would like To see everybody Run out of the cemetery. Why should we do it. We have already done it once.

Why put time to it again. What does he have to prove. Why didn't we bring Elijah back from the dead. Why not bring Isaiah and Jeremiah. Let's see. Let's see some of these Great marvelous Old Testament heroes And kings.

He showed them his hands. Can you think of anything more Prophetic than that Anything more Unsensational. We love the sensational We love the miraculous. We love the showmanship. As I said before I wish And I do I wish we had gone Right from that room Where they were And gone into the bedroom Of Pontius Pilate And just pat him on the cheek And woke him up And said well Now what do we do.

It might have been something. Then go down a bit To a bit further Down the street To Caiaphas And pull his beard Used to have a beard He could pull his beard. You know I could maybe Get rid of that Belt.

And The high priest Wake up and look With terror. He says well I told you I could live. No man takes my life From me. Surely again It's the best The best in fact In history. Philanderous running said Again Paul Builds fourteen epistles And balances it all On this one thing That if Jesus Christ Is not risen Then you're yet in your sins.

The Joy of the Risen Christ

Yes you and I know The end of the story. We know that he died We know that he rose again But he has something else to do. He's yet to ascend to his father. And he says The murder here. Don't It says that When he said He showed them his hands And his feet.

The disciples were glad When they saw the Lord Again he didn't rush Into the building And scold them. He didn't say You had three Of the most amazing years You'll ever live. And you've seen Every miracle And you've seen me Raise the dead.

And you're a bunch of No goods. Wonder how many times The Lord could have Pulled you up dead In your tracks Or me in my tracks And say look You've seen this Over the years And you've seen God Manifest himself.

And yet Some days There's hardly a hallelujah Comes out of your heart. There's hardly a song Of praise and adoration. It's so close You accept it. Don't worry about the Catholics. There's no joy. But where is your joy In the Lord.

Where is your authority. What do they do. He says they were glad Oh mercy Mercy Weren't you glad The day you saw the Lord. Chip mentioned that last Sunday. I was thinking of the hymn Oh happy day That fixed my choice On thee my saviour And my God.
