Hm.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
I'm young and I'm solder, made by decisions, a blank
help the news term a back r recision, don't have
lord degree. I'm someone n I'm made it as far
on my own. Lately that ship and been hid and replied.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
I have done, You'll do to you whatever you are.
I come away with the word of God.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
And today I want to touch on the topic the
meaning of Jesus' resurrection. Soon we are approaching Easter season
and this festival or this yes, this moment, we're talking
about Jesus' resurrection, so I want to touch on that topic.
(01:15):
There are many who died and resurrected, with historical records
from the Bible, some in the Old Testament, some in
the New Testament, and in all there are about ten
people in the Bible who died and resurrected. That is
a recourt of resurrection, about ten people. What makes jesus
(01:36):
resurrection unique? Extraordinary? What makes Jesus different from the others? Yes,
the others ruse or those who died, and we will
raise a bia the people those who will raised back
to death died again. That is the Xarapatz woman's son.
(01:57):
In one Kens chapter seventeen seventeen to twenty four. Yeah,
the woman's son died and Prophet Elijah raised the boy up,
but that boy died again. Elisha also did the same thing,
but that person was raised up to life by Elisha.
(02:19):
The person died again. Jesus himself raised Lazarus back to life.
Lazarus died again. But you know one, then, Jesus who
raised Lazars from the dead, just like Elijah and Elijah
(02:40):
in the Old Testament who raised people.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Back to life. Elisha died, Elijah died.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Jesus also died, but Jesus came back to life and he.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Did not die again. And this is the difference. Why
Jesus' resurrection is unique.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Why because he died and came back to life and
did not die again.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Do we have any such records in the world.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Is there in a record about any person who died,
came back to life and did not die again. So, brethren,
my listener, you may write these points down the meaning
of Jesus' resurrection. It means that Jesus has power over death.
(03:33):
And number two says Jesus is everlasting life. Jesus himself
is everlasting life. Then point number three, he gives power.
That is, Jesus gives. Jesus gives the proof of life
after death. Jesus himself gives the proof of life after death. Then,
(03:57):
my fourth point says, Jesus has power to accomplish whatever
he says. Today our touch on the first point, Jesus
has power over death. According to first Chorenthians, Chapter fifteen,
the verse of twelve, it is now, if Christ is
preached that he has been raised from the death, how
(04:20):
do some of you? How do some among you say
that there is no resurrection of the dead. Then the
same chapter, the verse of twenty says, but now Christ
is risen from the dead and has become the first
fruits of those who have fallen asleep.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Sure this is where our joy is.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Christ has power over death. That is why he died
and came back.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
And here.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
The proof is that surely there is a resurrection of
the death. But Christ is the first person to resurrect
from the death. How come how did he become the
first person? What happened and became the first person to
reserve from the death. Brethren, the first point we says,
Jesus has power over death. Jesus has power over death.
(05:15):
So Jesus has his power, and his power is over death.
That means death also has his power. Yes, Death has
his power, and Jesus has his power. So what is
the power of death? And what is that power of
Jesus that is able to overcome the power of death.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
And when you go back to the.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Book of Genesis chapter three, even from chapter two, that
is when you will be able to deduce the power
of death. Or that is why you deduce the power
of death. God gave instruction to Aidam and If. And
(05:58):
he told them that the tree which is in the
middle of the garden, which is the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat the
fruit of it. The day that you eat, you.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Shall surely die. The day that you eat, you shall
surely die.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
God gave these instructions to them Genesis chapter two, the
verse of seventeen. That's where God give this instruction to
aid them and his wife If. But not so long
aid them and his wife If eat the fruit. And
when they eat the fruit, yes, death had power over them.
(06:48):
Death had power. And when they eat the fruit, it
means they disobeyed the instructions that God gave them. Gave
them simple instructions, but said and not and then disobeyed it.
So you see where the power of death comes.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
He said, if you eat, you should surely die.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
That means death. The power of death was inside that
fruit of the tree, which is knowledge, knowledge of good
and evil. So there was something inside that fruit. And
that then which was inside the.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Fruit was death.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
But if you obeil goes instruction, you will not eat
the fruit. For death to enter your body and to
change your DNA, so that all that you produce, all
that you bring forth, will be affected by that thing
which you eat.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
And that is what we have all been affected with.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
So the disobedience of our grandparents them an if brought.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
The power of death over us.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
So the reason why the power of death death has
power over us.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Is because we have all disobeyed God. We have all
yet we are doing things that God dislike that does
not please God. So all those things that we do
that do not please God.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
You know what it is the reason that death has
power over us. And it is the same reason that
Jesus died and death could not contain him, that he
has to come back from the death. Wow, so you
asked then, but you should also know that Jesus who
(08:50):
bayed the instructions of his father, or if you want
me to put it in another time, Jesus obeyed the
instructions of God, so he did not sin. And because
he did not sin, death did not have power over him.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
So why did he die. He took your sin and
my saying to the cross.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Because he did not sin, he had the capacity to carry.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Our sins.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Imagine, if you are carrying a load and I am
also carrying a load, you are suffering in a way.
I'm also suffering in a way, so I can't bear yours.
But the one who is not carrying any load and
is free, he is the one that can carry your
load for you, so that you also become free.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
And that is what Jesus did.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Because he did not sin, he had the capacity to
carry the sin of other people, and in this matter,
the whole world.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
He had the capacity to carry it.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Because according to Second Corinthians, chapter five, the verse of
you read the verse of twenty coming down. I want
to read the verse of twenty one. He says, for
he made him who knew no sin to be sin
for us, that we might become the righteousness of God
(10:27):
in him. For He made him who knew no sin,
to discern for us that we might become the righteousness
of God. So you see, someone died no sain, and
he took our place of sin. That is why Jesus
went to the cross, because God made him carried all
(10:50):
the sins of the universe, even those who were dead.
He carried all their sin to the cross. That is
why he died. But why he resurrected was because he
did not sin by himself, or the sain that he
carried were not the sains he had committed. Therefore, when
(11:15):
he died, death could not hold any penalty against him.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
That could not hold any accusation.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Satan and his courts could not raise any accusation against
him because they.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Could not find any fault with him.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
All the fault were the fault of other people and
not of Jesus himself, so they couldn't keep him.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Death couldn't keep Jesus.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
So that had to run away, so that Jesus will
come back to life.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
And when he comes back to.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Life, he cannot die again because he has overcome death.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Wow, this is the good news, brethren.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Jesus was raised from the death by God, the Father
himself and he will die no more. So, my listener,
please come to Jesus. Ascet Jesus as your lord and savior.
And you know what, when you follow Jesus, you will
(12:27):
not die. I mean, when you die, Jesus will raise
you up.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
That is it, because he has resurrected from the death.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Therefore, anyone who follows Jesus, when you die, you will
raise you up.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Why will you die?
Speaker 2 (12:46):
You will die because I will die because this body,
this body of mind, this body of yours, has tested sin,
so this body should perish. And when this body perishes,
Jesus will give us another body where.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
I was, so rest in perfect peace.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Come to Jesus because he's the only one who can
grant you assurance, who can give you the insurance that
will assure you that when you die, you shall surely
be raised back, and you will die no more. This
(13:29):
is the word of God for you, my brethren, and
I know this is good news. Think over it again
and you will know that Jesus is.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Here for you. God bless you, and may you live long.
May all your.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Aspirations come to pass, I mean your good aspirations, and
may you dream of Jesus his visitation. May he give
you more understanding into this message even than what I
have done. You see us through this life in Jesus
me I used my back or religion.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Don't have no degree. I'm someone, n I'm paid it
as far on my own, plainly.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
That shit and been cid and me tied.
Speaker 1 (14:24):

Staden my heart feeling my bones. I just don't know
what to say.
H m hm.

Hm.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
I'm young and I'm solder, made by decisions, a blank

Sure this is where our joy is.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Christ has power over death. That is why he died
and came back.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
And here.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
The proof is that surely there is a resurrection of

from the death. How come how did he become the
first person? What happened and became the first person to

Jesus has power over death. Jesus has power over death.
(05:15):
So Jesus has his power, and his power is over death.
That means death also has his power. Yes, Death has
his power, and Jesus has his power. So what is
the power of death? And what is that power of
Jesus that is able to overcome the power of death.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
And when you go back to the.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Book of Genesis chapter three, even from chapter two, that
is when you will be able to deduce the power

(06:48):
Death had power. And when they eat the fruit, it

So you see where the power of death comes.
Speaker 3 (07:06):

Speaker 2 (07:09):
That means death. The power of death was inside that

So the disobedience of our grandparents them an if brought.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
The power of death over us.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
So the reason why the power of death death has
power over us.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Is because we have all disobeyed God. We have all

that do not please God.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
You know what it is the reason that death has

he did not sin, death did not have power over him.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
So why did he die. He took your sin and
my saying to the cross.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Because he did not sin, he had the capacity to carry.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Our sins.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Imagine, if you are carrying a load and I am
also carrying a load, you are suffering in a way.
I'm also suffering in a way, so I can't bear yours.
But the one who is not carrying any load and
is free, he is the one that can carry your
load for you, so that you also become free.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
And that is what Jesus did.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Because he did not sin, he had the capacity to
carry the sin of other people, and in this matter,
