The Greatest Story Ever Told!

If Jesus rose from the dead, guys, that's and it's the most important event in the history of mankind. If Jesus came back from from dying, there's nothing that that even comes close. It's the pinnacle of our faith. First Corinthian fifteen twenty. But in fact, Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have been, who have fallen asleep. For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam, all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. [01:01:51] (49 seconds)  #HeIsRisen

Jesus bore our shame that we might share his glory. Jesus endured my rejection that I might have his acceptance with the father. You're getting the point. Right? Number nine, he was cut off that cut off that we might be joined to the lord. And last, our old man was put to death in him that the new man might come to life in us. So I say amen to Jesus. Here's a theological term. Jesus' substitutionary atonement. You may have heard that phrase, which means that Jesus took our place. [00:54:44] (41 seconds)  #JesusTookOurPlace

So whatever your story and I said we all have a Right? Whatever your story, Jesus identified with you because he went through it all as a man. If your story is a story of betrayal, Jesus understands. If your story is a story of rejection, Jesus understand. If your story is a story of physical pain, Jesus understands. If your story is a story of sorrow and acne, Jesus understands. If your story is a story of weeping and grief, yes, Jesus understands. If your story is a story of tea and and thirst and hunger, Jesus understands.

People gave up their lives. Hundreds of thousands have died proclaiming Jesus Christ as lord and savior. Even now, I don't know what the statistics are, but tens of thousands are dying because they have faith in Christ. If Jesus didn't rise, I mean, what a foolishness. Right? We know and believe that he did resurrect from the dead. But if after all you've heard today, you still have doubts about Jesus, then answer these questions. How many people do you know who walked on water? How many people do you know who fed thousands with five loaves and two fish? How many people do you know who raised the dead? How many people do you know who died and came back to life? [01:03:18] (65 seconds)  #MiraclesOfJesus

For some reason, a lot of people miss this part, and this is not your own doing. It is the gift of God, not a result of works so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship creating Christ Jesus for good works which god prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. See, salvation first then works. Often, will mistake. Oh, works first so that we can be saved. No. Salvation first, then we have the works that god already prepared for us. There's nothing we can do to save ourselves. Nothing.

But out of love, he created us and he created us in his image. That's what the bible says. That's different. That's unique in the world of religions. So god is love. That's what the bible says. And God first loved us. And that's the very reason why he had a plan to save us as we we discover written in the very first, book of the bible in Genesis about his redemption master plan. Right from the beginning, he lets us know what his plan is to save us. [00:45:37] (36 seconds)  #CreatedInGodsImage

You may have heard that phrase, which means that Jesus took our place. K? Took our place and pay the debt in full. He paid it completely. It's a done deal. It is it is absolutely, k, and indeed finished. Jesus did it. Yes. There was a great exchange between God and his creation. So with that, we come to the last and probably one of the most important, not the most important, but one of the most important reasons why the, story of Jesus is is the greatest story ever told. And the fifth and the final reason is that god became one of us. [00:55:19] (45 seconds)  #PaidInFull

Well, let's count the reasons. Well, actually, I'm gonna give you five, exactly five reasons that makes his story so great. Actually, the greatest of all time. And not only great, very unique. His story is great, but also very unique. First, God had in mind to save us from the beginning of human existence. What does that mean? Well, first, before I get into it, have you wondered I've wondered this many times. If God knew, right, knowing well how we're gonna mess things up so quickly, why did he create us in the first place? [00:43:47] (39 seconds)  #PlannedFromTheStart
