this world needs

3:57

your love and your support right

3:59

now . If

4:03

we don't stop these wars

4:05

, I'm afraid that

4:07

you might be going

4:10

to another world war in

4:13

your name , in

4:15

your name , we pray to stop

4:18

these wars so we don't go

4:20

into another

4:23

world war . Amen , amen

4:27

. Now

4:34

for our Lord's Prayer . Our

4:36

Father who art in heaven

4:38

, hallowed be thy name . Thy

4:41

kingdom come . Thy will be done

4:43

on earth as it is in heaven . Give

4:46

us this day our daily bread , and

4:49

give us our trespasses , and

4:51

give those who trespass against

4:53

us and lead us not into temptation

4:56

, but deliver us from evil , for

4:58

thine is the kingdom and the power and

5:00

the glory forever and ever . Amen

5:03

. Power and the

5:09

glory , forever and ever . Amen . Now

5:11

for our scriptures of the day . It

5:15

comes from John 20 , the

5:19

empty tomb .

5:32

John , chapter 20 . Early on the first day of the week

5:34

, while it was still dark , mary

5:36

Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone

5:38

had been removed from the entrance . So

5:41

she came running to Simon Peter and the other

5:43

disciple the one Jesus loved and

5:45

said they have taken the Lord out

5:47

of the tomb . We don't know where they have put him . So

5:51

Peter and the other disciples started for the

5:53

tomb . Both were running , but

5:56

the other disciple outran Peter and

5:58

reached the tomb first he

6:00

bent over and looked in at the

6:03

strips of linen lying there but

6:05

did not go in . Then

6:08

Simon Peter came along behind him

6:10

and went straight into the tomb . He

6:13

saw the strips of linen lying there as

6:16

well as the cloth that had been wrapped

6:18

around Jesus' head . The

6:21

cloth was still lying

6:23

in its place , separate from

6:25

the linen . Finally

6:28

, the other disciple who had reached

6:30

the tomb first also went inside . He

6:33

saw and believed

6:35

. They still did

6:38

not understand from Scripture that

6:40

Jesus had to rise from the dead

6:42

. Then the

6:44

disciples went back to where they were staying

6:46

. Now Mary

6:48

stood outside the tomb , crying as

6:51

she wept . She bent over to look

6:53

into the tomb and saw two

6:56

angels in white seated where

6:58

Jesus' body had been one at the head

7:00

and the other at the foot . They

7:03

asked her Woman

7:09

, why are you crying ? They have taken my Lord away , she said , and

7:11

I don't know where they have put him At

7:15

this . She turned round and saw

7:17

Jesus standing there , but she did not

7:19

realise that it was Jesus . It

7:30

was Jesus , he asked her Woman . Why are you crying ? Who is

7:32

it you're looking for ? Thinking

7:35

he was the gardener ? She said , sir , if you have carried him away , tell me

7:37

where you have put him and I will get him . Jesus said to her Mary

7:41

. She turned

7:43

towards him and

7:45

cried out in Aramaic , rabboni

7:48

, which means teacher . Jesus

7:52

said Do not hold on to

7:54

me , for I have not yet ascended

7:56

to the Father . Go instead

7:58

to my brothers and tell them I

8:01

am ascending to my Father and your

8:03

Father , to my God and

8:05

your God . Mary

8:08

Magdalene went to the disciples with the news

8:10

I have seen the Lord

8:13

, and she told them that

8:15

he had said these things to her . On

8:18

the evening of that first day of the week , when

8:21

the disciples were together with the doors

8:23

locked for fear of the Jewish leaders , jesus

8:26

came and stood among them and said Peace

8:29

, be with you . After

8:31

he said this , he showed them his hands

8:33

and his side . The

8:36

disciples were overjoyed when

8:38

they saw the Lord and again

8:40

Jesus said Peace , be with

8:42

you , as the Father has sent me

8:45

, I am sending you . And

8:48

with that he breathed on them and

8:50

said Receive the Holy

8:52

Spirit . If you forgive

8:55

anyone's sins , their sins are

8:57

forgiven . If you do not forgive

8:59

them , they are not forgiven . Now

9:03

Thomas , also known as Didymus

9:06

, one of the twelve , was not with the

9:08

disciples when Jesus came . So

9:10

the other disciples told him we have

9:12

seen the Lord . But

9:14

he said to them Unless I see

9:16

the nail marks in his hands and

9:18

put my finger where the nails were and

9:21

put my hand into his side

9:23

, I will not believe . Were

9:28

and put my hand into his side , I will not believe . A week later his disciples were in the house

9:30

again and Thomas was with them , though the doors were locked . Jesus

9:33

came and stood among them and said Peace

9:36

, be with you . Then

9:38

he said to Thomas Put

9:40

your finger here , see

9:43

my hands . Put your finger here , see my

9:45

hands . Reach out your hand and put it into my

9:47

side . Stop

9:52

doubting and believe . Thomas

9:55

said to him my Lord and

9:57

my God . Then Jesus told him Because

10:00

you have seen me , you have believed . Blessed

10:09

are those who have not seen and yet

10:11

have believed . Jesus performed many other

10:13

signs in the presence of his disciples , which are not recorded in this book , but these

10:15

are written , that you may believe that Jesus

10:18

is the Messiah , the Son of God

10:20

, and that by believing you

10:22

may have life in his name .

10:34

John , chapter 21 . That was the Gospel of John

10:36

, the epitome of the

10:39

Spirit of God . Peace

10:43

be with you , my brothers . So

10:47

Jesus said to his disciples

10:49

as he was

10:51

risen from the dead

10:53

. The

11:04

tomb is being , but Jesus wants to fill

11:07

your heart . Maybe

11:14

you don't believe that Jesus was

11:17

the Messiah , but he was and

11:20

that Some

11:25

of the Not being , some

11:28

of the stuff

11:30

has not been recorded in the Gospels

11:32

, but

11:35

the

11:38

examples was there there

12:08

and John believed . Mark , luke , tyrus , julia , all believed . So they

12:10

were sent out , set out to tell him that Jesus loves you and he will forgive you your sins . And

12:18

that evening , after

12:21

he met his disciples

12:24

, there was a

12:26

crowd in the city of

12:28

David . He

12:33

sold himself to judge us , left

13:02

in holy praise . He

13:07

is the Messiah , they said . But

13:16

the high priests still

13:18

don't believe , and they still

13:20

don't believe today that Jesus was

13:22

still the Messiah . But

13:26

they will believe when he comes back

13:29

to show

13:31

us his love . He

13:35

is coming back someday for

13:37

us . That

13:40

we're never known until

13:42

we hear the trumpets in

13:45

ease . Every

13:56

morning I get up and

13:58

listen for the trumpets . I

14:00

don't hear them , I see the sun . If

14:22

I don't hear them , I see the sun . I know it's another

14:24

day to praise Him , to love Him and to glorify Him . As

14:27

you speak of these words , I

14:31

hope they will fill your heart . Amen

14:34

. And now for

14:36

the resurrection

14:38

hymns

14:41

. Yeah , thank you

15:18

.

15:20

Not a

15:22

word

15:26

was heard At

15:29

the be

15:33

that . Jesus

15:35

breathed

15:42

his last

15:45

.

15:58

Could it be that his father

16:02

had forsaken him ? Turned

16:06

his back on his son , despising

16:10

our sin .

16:14

All hell seemed to whisper

16:16

. Just forget

16:18

it , he's dead .

16:22

And the father looked

16:24

down to his

16:27

son and said and

16:32

say Arise

16:36

my love , Arise my love .

16:46

The grave no longer has a hold on you . No

16:54

more density

16:57

, no more suffering

17:00

. Arise , arise , my love .

17:15

The earth trembled and the tomb began

17:18

to shake and

17:20

, like lightning from heaven , the

17:24

stones rolled away .

17:28

And as dead men are gone , they

17:31

all stood there in fright

17:34

as

17:37

the power of love Displayed

17:41

its might .

17:44

So let the old man Feel

17:49

the air , what

18:01

he needs . The words

18:05

of creation have been long to hear Love

18:09

and peace , the gift of victory . So love

18:11

and clear . Arise

18:20

my love . Arise

18:23

my love . The

18:27

grave of the world has

18:30

a world on you . The

18:35

more death's sting , the more

18:38

suffering Arise

18:47

.

19:10

Say where are the circles

19:13

?

19:14

Say where is

19:16

your sting ? Who

19:20

has been defeated ? The grave could not hold the king

19:27

. Arise

19:40

my love . Arise my love . The grave no longer has no home .

20:03

No

20:21

more is it to sing For your sin , for suffering . Arise , arise

20:23

, arise . I heard a story of great love . It

20:25

was a gift from

20:27

God above A man to

20:29

come and save

20:32

the world . He

20:35

came to us with humble

20:38

birth . He walked with

20:40

us to show our worth . He

20:42

is the one who calls

and talked of life . He said

21:14

he was the nation's light

21:16

.

21:16

With one main goal to fight

21:19

for us . He

21:24

balked at the way that things

21:26

were done .

21:27

Satan's minions were on

21:29

the run . He challenged

21:32

all to overcome . Hallelujah

23:01

days later , he rose again

23:04

, conquered death and

23:06

canceled our sin .

23:07

For us , he paid the ultimate

price , hallelujah
