He is alive. He is not dead. On the third day, he defied all the dynamics of death, and he got up so I could be saved, so you could be saved, so we could be a part of that number of the redeemed. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so. Hallelujah. When trouble comes, look up and lift up your eyes for your redemption draws near. His name is Jesus.

See, sin promises you freedom. Some of you went that route. Oh, the Bible even says there is pleasure in sin for a season. You had some fun. It promises freedom. But the old saying, it will take you farther than you wanna go. It'll keep you longer than you wanted to stay, and it will cost you much, much, much more than you wanted to pay. And what it does is it really delivers bondage, not freedom. [00:37:01] (36 seconds)  #SinBringsBondage Download clip

He died for you when you were at your worst, when you were ashamed, when you were not pleased with the way you were living, when you knew you needed to straighten up and straighten it out. At your very worst, that means the cross is not a reward for righteousness. It's a rescue That's right. That's right. For the broken. Don't miss this. It's a rescue for the broken.

Here's what I want you to get. He didn't deserve it. The boy didn't even expect it, but God had a plan. He didn't have to come back and prove himself. He didn't have to do all the things that you would think you would do. The father was ready. His grace was available. And before the boy could even come back and really apologize or finish his apology, his father embraced him, ran to him, found him where he was on the road back in the mess he was in and welcomed him home.

Oh, thank god. No probation period. No earning his way back. Just grace. See, the robe represented restoration. The ring represented authority. And the shoes, the sandals to put on his feet, it represented sonship because only sons got the shoes. The servants didn't wear shoes, but the father said, he's my son. This is my son. Put a robe on him. Put a ring on him. Get some shoes for his feet. [00:40:50] (55 seconds)  #RestoredByGrace Download clip

You know, on the cross, Jesus took your place in the pigsty. He took your shame He took your distance from the father so you could come home. Our life choices sometimes can cause us to stay in the pigpen or we could reap the benefits of self control and course correction because we feel the conviction. We know what's right. We know what we should do. And the spirit's tugging us. All we have to do is just come to ourself. [00:41:44] (63 seconds)  #JesusTookYourPlace Download clip

Watch this now. For while we were yet still sinners, he died for us. Let me translate that. When you were unworthy, you hadn't cleaned up. You hadn't straightened up. Your life was a mess. My life was a mess. While we were undeserving, while we were still sinners living in sin, unholy, unrighteous, he still came and died just for you. Not when you got your life altogether, not when you cleaned yourself up, not when you deserved it, when we did not deserve it. [00:33:01] (50 seconds)  #DiedForTheUndeserving Download clip

Aren't you tired of running? Aren't you tired of knowing that you're not ready? Aren't you tired of knowing that something's missing? Because you see when God created all of us, every one of us, all of us on the planet, He created us with an empty spot, a void in our heart that can only be filled and satisfied with the right relationship with Jesus. That's absolutely the only thing that will fill that void. And yet we spend years searching, looking, trying to find the answer, trying to fill the void.
