uncertain times
6
00:00:16.830 --> 00:00:20.130 line:15%
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.

We keep it simple,
8
00:00:21.570 --> 00:00:26.130 line:15%
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
9
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:28.920 line:15%
a love that emboldens,
10
00:00:30.030 --> 00:00:32.190 line:15%
and a mission that touches the world.
11
00:00:34.530 --> 00:00:36.060 line:15%
Let's join Rick Renner.
12
00:00:38.310 --> 00:00:40.950
Welcome to today's program, my friend.
13
00:00:40.950 --> 00:00:43.590
You can see on the screen behind me
14
00:00:43.590 --> 00:00:44.850
that today I'm gonna be talking
15
00:00:44.850 --> 00:00:47.160
to you about the amazing
moment when the veil
16
00:00:47.160 --> 00:00:49.980
of the temple was rent in half.
17
00:00:49.980 --> 00:00:52.830
That event occurred when Jesus cried out
18
00:00:52.830 --> 00:00:54.720
and said, it is finished.
19
00:00:54.720 --> 00:00:58.920
What did those words, it
is finished really mean
20
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:03.840
and why was the veil of
the temple torn in half?
21
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:06.240
That's what we're going
to explore today As we
22
00:01:06.240 --> 00:01:07.740
look at Easter -
23
00:01:07.740 --> 00:01:11.580
The Rest of the Story, it's
gonna be so good today,
24
00:01:11.580 --> 00:01:12.930
so stay with me.
25
00:01:12.930 --> 00:01:14.580 line:15%
But remember that if you need prayer,
26
00:01:14.580 --> 00:01:16.320 line:15%
we want you to call us.
27
00:01:16.320 --> 00:01:18.930 line:15%
I know you can pray by yourself.
28
00:01:18.930 --> 00:01:20.640 line:15%
I pray by myself all the time.
29
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:23.760 line:15%
But there are moments when I
really like it when somebody
30
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:26.910 line:15%
takes my hand or somebody
agrees with me in prayer
31
00:01:26.910 --> 00:01:29.730 line:15%
and I hear another voice
that's praying with me.
32
00:01:29.730 --> 00:01:32.100 line:15%
Sometimes that's comforting.
33
00:01:32.100 --> 00:01:34.110 line:15%
And though you can pray by yourself,
34
00:01:34.110 --> 00:01:37.350 line:15%
if you wish you had somebody
else to pray with you,
35
00:01:37.350 --> 00:01:38.520 line:15%
then call us.
36
00:01:38.520 --> 00:01:41.430
We're here and we're waiting
for the phone to ring right now
37
00:01:41.430 --> 00:01:43.530 line:15%
and we will gladly pray with you.
38
00:01:43.530 --> 00:01:46.920 line:15%
Or if you wish, you can
just send us an email
39
00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:49.260 line:15%
and the moment your email
shows up in the inbox,
40
00:01:49.260 --> 00:01:50.970 line:15%
we're gonna release our faith.
41
00:01:50.970 --> 00:01:54.060 line:15%
And my friends, Jesus is gonna
do what needs to be done.
42
00:01:54.060 --> 00:01:57.210 line:15%
So call us or send us an email.
43
00:01:57.210 --> 00:02:00.060 line:15%
But today we're going to be looking at
44
00:02:00.060 --> 00:02:03.570 line:15%
what it meant when Jesus
cried out it is finished
45
00:02:03.570 --> 00:02:08.160 line:15%
and why the veil of the
temple was torn from the top
46
00:02:08.160 --> 00:02:09.960
to the bottom.
47
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:11.910
Wow, it is amazing.
48
00:02:11.910 --> 00:02:14.880
But first, watch this and
then I'll be right back.
49
00:02:15.750 --> 00:02:18.690
Do you know the story of
Easter, the resurrection
50
00:02:18.690 --> 00:02:20.490 line:15%
of Jesus, the empty tomb
51
00:02:20.490 --> 00:02:22.500
and the appearances to the disciples?
52
00:02:22.500 --> 00:02:25.890 line:15%
But did you know that's
only part of the story?
53
00:02:25.890 --> 00:02:27.810 line:15%
In Rick Renner's book Easter?
54
00:02:27.810 --> 00:02:29.250 line:15%

Rick delves into the lesser known details
56
00:02:31.380 --> 00:02:34.170 line:15%
of the Easter story that
are often overlooked.
57
00:02:34.170 --> 00:02:36.870
Details like who was Pontius Pilate,
58
00:02:36.870 --> 00:02:39.300 line:15%
what really happened to
the Garden of Gethsemane?
59
00:02:39.300 --> 00:02:41.550 line:15%
What happened to the
temple when Jesus died?
60
00:02:41.550 --> 00:02:43.770 line:15%
What exactly did the disciples witness on
61
00:02:43.770 --> 00:02:45.360 line:15%
that miraculous morning?
62
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:49.020 line:15%
Why Easter is the absolute
defining moment of our faith.

73
00:03:14.980 --> 00:03:18.760
Today we're going to be
exploring why Jesus said it is
74
00:03:18.760 --> 00:03:21.400
finished and you're going to
learn something wonderful.
75
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:24.940
And we're also going to see
why the veil of the temple in
76
00:03:24.940 --> 00:03:28.300
that very moment was split
from the top all the way
77
00:03:28.300 --> 00:03:29.560
to the bottom.
78
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:33.310
But let's begin by going to John 19:30 which says,
79
00:03:33.310 --> 00:03:36.370 line:15%
and Jesus said it is finished.
80
00:03:36.370 --> 00:03:37.600 line:15%
Why did he say that?
81
00:03:37.600 --> 00:03:39.370
Well, today you're gonna learn why,
82
00:03:39.370 --> 00:03:41.890 line:15%
but the verse says,
Jesus said it is finished
83
00:03:41.890 --> 00:03:44.230 line:15%
and he bowed his head
and gave up the ghost.
84
00:03:44.230 --> 00:03:48.580 line:15%
And Matthew 27:51 tells us in that very moment,
85
00:03:48.580 --> 00:03:50.440 line:15%
behold the veil
86
00:03:50.440 --> 00:03:55.180 line:15%
of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.
87
00:03:55.180 --> 00:03:58.600
And the word behold is a Greek
word which carries the idea
88
00:03:58.600 --> 00:04:01.090 line:15%
of amazement, shock and wonder.
89
00:04:01.090 --> 00:04:03.910 line:15%
It's almost as though
Matthew recounting the story
90
00:04:03.910 --> 00:04:05.350 line:15%
says - Amazing,
91
00:04:05.350 --> 00:04:06.640 line:15%
listen to this.
92
00:04:06.640 --> 00:04:10.360
In that very moment when
Jesus said it is finished,
93
00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:12.400
behold this is amazing.
94
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:13.810
It is shocking.
95
00:04:13.810 --> 00:04:17.710
The veil of the temple was
rent in twain from the top
96
00:04:17.710 --> 00:04:19.690
to the bottom.
97
00:04:19.690 --> 00:04:22.990
Well, inside the temple
there were two veils.
98
00:04:22.990 --> 00:04:25.990
One stood at the entrance to the Holy Place
99
00:04:25.990 --> 00:04:29.470
and a 2nd veil was at the entrance to the Holy of Holies.
100
00:04:29.470 --> 00:04:33.100
And only the high priest
was allowed to pass
101
00:04:33.100 --> 00:04:36.730
through the 2nd veil once a year during the Festival
102
00:04:36.730 --> 00:04:38.260
of Atonement.
103
00:04:38.260 --> 00:04:41.380
And the 2nd veil was massive
104
00:04:41.380 --> 00:04:45.340
and represented a barrier
between the sinfulness of man
105
00:04:45.340 --> 00:04:47.530
and the holiness of God, which was
106
00:04:47.530 --> 00:04:49.420
inside the Holy of Holies.
107
00:04:49.420 --> 00:04:51.160
And in his book, the Life
108
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:55.690
and Times of Jesus Christ, Edersheim wrote about the size
109
00:04:55.690 --> 00:04:57.610
and the weight of that 2nd veil
110
00:04:57.610 --> 00:05:00.640
and the kind of manpower
it took to manipulate
111
00:05:00.640 --> 00:05:02.410
and to move that veil.
112
00:05:02.410 --> 00:05:04.690
Listen to what Edersheim said.
113
00:05:04.690 --> 00:05:08.110 line:15%
The veil before the most
holy place was 40 cubits
114
00:05:08.110 --> 00:05:11.170 line:15%
or 60 feet long and 20 cubits
115
00:05:11.170 --> 00:05:14.890 line:15%
or 30 feet wide, the thickness
of the palm of a hand
116
00:05:14.890 --> 00:05:17.980 line:15%
and rod in 72 squares,
which were joined together.
117
00:05:17.980 --> 00:05:20.440 line:15%
And these veils were so heavy
118
00:05:20.440 --> 00:05:23.200 line:15%
that in the exaggerated
language of the time,
119
00:05:23.200 --> 00:05:27.460 line:15%
it needed 300 priests to manipulate it.
120
00:05:27.460 --> 00:05:31.900 line:15%
If the veil was at all such as is described in the Talmud,
121
00:05:31.900 --> 00:05:35.590 line:15%
it could not have been rent
twain by the mere earthquake
122
00:05:35.590 --> 00:05:37.750 line:15%
or the fall of the lentil.
123
00:05:37.750 --> 00:05:41.380 line:15%
Although its composition in squares fastened together might
124
00:05:41.380 --> 00:05:45.100 line:15%
explain how the rent might
be described in the gospel.
125
00:05:45.100 --> 00:05:47.710 line:15%
So we're talking about
a veil that is massive
126
00:05:47.710 --> 00:05:49.030
and very, very heavy.
127
00:05:49.030 --> 00:05:52.390
And in fact, scholar
Morris Henry Harris wrote
128
00:05:52.390 --> 00:05:54.970
of the enormity and
the weight of the veil,
129
00:05:54.970 --> 00:05:59.360 line:15%
and he said 300 priests were told off
130
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:02.300 line:15%
or they were designated to draw the veil
131
00:06:02.300 --> 00:06:03.890 line:15%
of the temple aside.
132
00:06:03.890 --> 00:06:07.970 line:15%
It took 300 priests to manipulate it.
133
00:06:07.970 --> 00:06:10.850 line:15%
The thickness of the
veil was a hand breath.
134
00:06:10.850 --> 00:06:13.460 line:15%
It was woven of 72 cords,
135
00:06:13.460 --> 00:06:16.550 line:15%
and each cord consisted of 24 strands.
136
00:06:16.550 --> 00:06:19.880 line:15%
It was 40 cubits long, 20 wide,
137
00:06:19.880 --> 00:06:24.470 line:15%
and when it became soiled, it took 300 priests
138
00:06:24.470 --> 00:06:27.620 line:15%
to immerse it and to cleanse it.
139
00:06:27.620 --> 00:06:31.130
My friends we're talking
about a massive, massive veil.
140
00:06:31.130 --> 00:06:32.690
And at the very moment
141
00:06:32.690 --> 00:06:37.310
that Jesus was breathing his
last breath on the cross on
142
00:06:37.310 --> 00:06:40.640
Golgotha, the high priest
was standing at his
143
00:06:40.640 --> 00:06:42.200
station in the temple.
144
00:06:42.200 --> 00:06:43.370 line:15%
And the very moment
145
00:06:43.370 --> 00:06:47.750
that Jesus exclaimed it is finished
146
00:06:47.750 --> 00:06:50.120
deep inside the temple,
147
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:53.180
something inexplicable took place.
148
00:06:53.180 --> 00:06:56.330
The massive fortified veil that stood
149
00:06:56.330 --> 00:07:00.770
before the Holy of Holies was
suddenly split in half from
150
00:07:00.770 --> 00:07:04.160
the top all the way to the bottom.
151
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:05.480
And the sound of
152
00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:09.590
that veil splitting must
have nearly been deafening
153
00:07:09.590 --> 00:07:12.620
as it ripped and tore,
starting at the top,
154
00:07:12.620 --> 00:07:14.750
going all the way to the floor.
155
00:07:14.750 --> 00:07:18.320
And it was as if invisible
hands had reached out
156
00:07:18.320 --> 00:07:23.320
to grab hold of it, rip it
to shreds, and too discard it.
157
00:07:23.330 --> 00:07:26.720
And you can imagine how
shocked the high priest
158
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:29.030
was as he looke
159
00:07:29.030 --> 00:07:32.630
and that massive veil was now
ripped in half, one side,
160
00:07:32.630 --> 00:07:35.180
falling to one side, another piece falling
161
00:07:35.180 --> 00:07:36.680
to the other side.
162
00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:38.840
And what we find is in the moment,
163
00:07:38.840 --> 00:07:41.990
Jesus was lifted up on the cross,
164
00:07:41.990 --> 00:07:45.470
it was no longer necessary
for a high priest
165
00:07:45.470 --> 00:07:49.370
to continually make
sacrifices year after year
166
00:07:49.370 --> 00:07:53.960
because Jesus blood
was the final sacrifice
167
00:07:53.960 --> 00:07:58.460
and it settled man's sin issue forever.
168
00:07:58.460 --> 00:08:03.170
And that is why God himself
reached out in visible hands
169
00:08:03.170 --> 00:08:05.480
to take hold of the veil of the temple
170
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:09.230
and ripped it in half to
declare the way into the Holy
171
00:08:09.230 --> 00:08:14.180
of Holies was now available
to anyone who came to him
172
00:08:14.180 --> 00:08:17.690
through the blood of Jesus.
173
00:08:17.690 --> 00:08:20.180
But in John 19:30, we are told
174
00:08:20.180 --> 00:08:24.350
that Jesus cried out it is finished,
175
00:08:24.350 --> 00:08:27.530
that he bowed his head
and gave up the ghost.
176
00:08:27.530 --> 00:08:29.330
Those words, it is finished,
177
00:08:29.330 --> 00:08:33.380 line:15%
it's from the Greek words - tetelestai - which means to end,
178
00:08:33.380 --> 00:08:36.350 line:15%
to bring to completion,
to bring to a conclusion,
179
00:08:36.350 --> 00:08:39.980 line:15%
to complete, to accomplish,
to fulfill or to finish.
180
00:08:39.980 --> 00:08:42.260 line:15%
And one scholar notes that anything
181
00:08:42.260 --> 00:08:45.890 line:15%
that has reached this state
has arrived at completion,
182
00:08:45.890 --> 00:08:48.170 line:15%
maturity or perfection.
183
00:08:48.170 --> 00:08:51.020
But this word tetelestai, has many, many nuances
184
00:08:51.020 --> 00:08:53.990
and we're going to look at
four of them which are very,
185
00:08:53.990 --> 00:08:55.620
very important to Jesus
186
00:08:55.620 --> 00:08:57.720
exclaiming - it is finished.
187
00:08:57.720 --> 00:09:02.640
And first the word tetelestai, was Jesus' exclamation
188
00:09:02.640 --> 00:09:07.200 line:15%
that he had finished the work
the Father had sent him to do.
189
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:09.000 line:15%
One writer has noted
190
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:11.280
that when a servant was sent on a mission
191
00:09:11.280 --> 00:09:13.770
and then later returned to
his master, he would say
192
00:09:13.770 --> 00:09:17.460
to his master tetelestai,
meaning I have done exactly
193
00:09:17.460 --> 00:09:18.750
what you requested.
194
00:09:18.750 --> 00:09:21.360
The mission is now accomplished.
195
00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:23.940
And when Jesus cried out it is finished,
196
00:09:23.940 --> 00:09:26.250
the Greek word tetelestai, he was exclaiming
197
00:09:26.250 --> 00:09:27.990
to the entire universe
198
00:09:27.990 --> 00:09:30.750
that he had faithfully
fulfilled the father's will
199
00:09:30.750 --> 00:09:33.720
and the mission was now accomplished.
200
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:36.240
No wonder Jesus shouted it.
201
00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:38.790
It was the greatest victory in the history
202
00:09:38.790 --> 00:09:40.410
of the human race.
203
00:09:40.410 --> 00:09:43.620
Jesus was literally crying out, I've done exactly
204
00:09:43.620 --> 00:09:48.090
what you asked me to do and now the mission is accomplished.
205
00:09:48.090 --> 00:09:52.350
But second, this word tetelestai, was the equivalent
206
00:09:52.350 --> 00:09:54.090
of the Hebrew word spoken
207
00:09:54.090 --> 00:09:58.110 line:15%
by the high priest when he
presented a sacrificial lamb
208
00:09:58.110 --> 00:10:01.170 line:15%
without spot or without blemish.
209
00:10:01.170 --> 00:10:05.970
And annually the high priest
entered the Holy of Holies
210
00:10:05.970 --> 00:10:08.640
where he poured the blood
of that sacrificial,
211
00:10:08.640 --> 00:10:11.400
spotless lamb on the mercy seat.
212
00:10:11.400 --> 00:10:12.450
And the moment
213
00:10:12.450 --> 00:10:16.170
that blood touched the mercy
seat atonement was made
214
00:10:16.170 --> 00:10:20.460
for people's sins temporarily
for one more year.
215
00:10:20.460 --> 00:10:21.930
And it was done annually
216
00:10:21.930 --> 00:10:25.110
to obtain the temporal forgiveness of sin.
217
00:10:25.110 --> 00:10:28.830
But when Jesus hung on the
cross, he was both lamb
218
00:10:28.830 --> 00:10:30.150
and high priest.
219
00:10:30.150 --> 00:10:33.510
And in that holy moment
as our great high priest,
220
00:10:33.510 --> 00:10:37.830
Jesus offered his own blood
for the permanent removal
221
00:10:37.830 --> 00:10:41.640 line:15%
of sin and he offered up
the perfect sacrifice.
222
00:10:41.640 --> 00:10:45.150
And in that instant, there
remained no more need
223
00:10:45.150 --> 00:10:48.180
for additional offerings of sin.
224
00:10:48.180 --> 00:10:50.970
And that is why we read in Hebrews 9:12,
225
00:10:50.970 --> 00:10:53.550 line:15%
Neither by the blood of goats and calves,
226
00:10:53.550 --> 00:10:55.320 line:15%
but by his own blood,
227
00:10:55.320 --> 00:11:00.240 line:15%
he entered once into the
holy place having obtained
228
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:02.550 line:15%
eternal redemption for us.
229
00:11:02.550 --> 00:11:05.760
And so when Jesus cried out
tetelestai, it is finished,
230
00:11:05.760 --> 00:11:08.790
he was declaring the end of all sacrifices
231
00:11:08.790 --> 00:11:12.420
because the ultimate
sacrifice had been made,
232
00:11:12.420 --> 00:11:16.260
atonement was completed, it was perfected,
233
00:11:16.260 --> 00:11:17.820
it was fully accomplished.
234
00:11:17.820 --> 00:11:19.020
It was done once
235
00:11:19.020 --> 00:11:22.350
and for all, finished forever
236
00:11:23.280 --> 00:11:25.080
more - say Amen.
237
00:11:25.080 --> 00:11:27.150
But No.3: the word
238
00:11:27.150 --> 00:11:30.330 line:15%
tetelestai, was used in the business world
239
00:11:30.330 --> 00:11:35.310 line:15%
to signify the full payment of a debt.
240
00:11:35.310 --> 00:11:38.430
when a debt had been fully paid off,
241
00:11:38.430 --> 00:11:41.940
the parchment on which the debt was recorded was stamped
242
00:11:41.940 --> 00:11:44.490
with the words tetelestai, which meant
243
00:11:44.490 --> 00:11:48.540
that debt had been paid in full.
244
00:11:48.540 --> 00:11:52.800
And this means that once a
person calls Jesus the Lord
245
00:11:52.800 --> 00:11:57.550
of life and personally accepts
Christ's sacrifice, no debt
246
00:11:57.550 --> 00:12:01.060 line:15%
of sin remains for that person any longer.
247
00:12:01.060 --> 00:12:02.830 line:15%
Our debt is wiped out
248
00:12:02.830 --> 00:12:06.460 line:15%
because Jesus paid the price
no sinner could ever pay.
249
00:12:06.460 --> 00:12:10.540 line:15%
And when Jesus took
our place on the cross,
250
00:12:10.540 --> 00:12:13.480 line:15%
he paid the debt of sin that we owed.
251
00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:15.910
And we by faith, when we repent
252
00:12:15.910 --> 00:12:19.060
and receive him as Lord, we are set free.
253
00:12:19.060 --> 00:12:20.560
And this is why Paul said
254
00:12:20.560 --> 00:12:23.920
so gloriously in Colossians 1:14, In whom we have
255
00:12:23.920 --> 00:12:28.480
redemption through his blood,
even the forgiveness of sins.
256
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:31.240
And my friends, when
Jesus uttered those words,
257
00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:33.340
it is finished.
258
00:12:33.340 --> 00:12:36.220
It was his divine declaration
259
00:12:36.220 --> 00:12:39.460
that the debt was fully
satisfied, fulfilled
260
00:12:39.460 --> 00:12:42.550
and complete - his blood utterly
261
00:12:42.550 --> 00:12:45.820
and completely cleansed us forever.
262
00:12:45.820 --> 00:12:49.420 line:15%
This was far reaching,
all embracing for anyone
263
00:12:49.420 --> 00:12:52.450
who ever puts their faith in Christ.
264
00:12:52.450 --> 00:12:53.950
Oh, say amen.
265
00:12:53.950 --> 00:12:57.820
But hey, No.4: the word tetelestai
266
00:12:57.820 --> 00:13:02.230 line:15%
depicted a turning point
when one period ended
267
00:13:02.230 --> 00:13:04.180 line:15%
and another period began,
268
00:13:04.180 --> 00:13:07.600
and when Jesus exclaimed it is finished,
269
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:09.310
he was also declaring
270
00:13:09.310 --> 00:13:11.980
that a turning point in
history was taking place.
271
00:13:11.980 --> 00:13:16.420
And that moment, the Old Testament was coming to an end.
272
00:13:16.420 --> 00:13:18.940
It was finished and it was closed.
273
00:13:18.940 --> 00:13:22.420
And the new covenant, the
New Testament was beginning
274
00:13:22.420 --> 00:13:26.110
and the cross literally
was the great divide in
275
00:13:26.110 --> 00:13:27.220
human history.
276
00:13:27.220 --> 00:13:28.780
And when Jesus cried out
277
00:13:28.780 --> 00:13:31.360
and said, it is finished, he was shouting -
278
00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:33.490
the old covenant ended
279
00:13:33.490 --> 00:13:36.610
and the new covenant was beginning.
280
00:13:36.610 --> 00:13:39.190
Oh my friends, there's
so much in this phrase,
281
00:13:39.190 --> 00:13:41.860
it is finished.
282
00:13:41.860 --> 00:13:44.500
Also in that moment, Jesus was declaring
283
00:13:44.500 --> 00:13:48.460
that every Old Testament
prophecy about him dying
284
00:13:48.460 --> 00:13:51.250
for our sins was fulfilled.
285
00:13:51.250 --> 00:13:53.770
And in that moment, the sacrifices
286
00:13:53.770 --> 00:13:56.800
of the Old Testament permanently ceased
287
00:13:56.800 --> 00:13:59.845
for the perfect sacrifice had been made.
288
00:13:59.845 --> 00:14:01.930
As Jesus laid down his life
289
00:14:01.930 --> 00:14:04.720
for our salvation. He could cry out -
290
00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:06.340
The task was complete.
291
00:14:06.340 --> 00:14:08.050
He could say paid in full
292
00:14:08.050 --> 00:14:11.320
because he paid the full price for our sin
293
00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:13.870
with his own blood.
294
00:14:13.870 --> 00:14:16.660 line:15%
This is what we read in Isaiah 53:4, 5.
295
00:14:16.660 --> 00:14:19.270 line:15%
It says, surely he is born our grieves
296
00:14:19.270 --> 00:14:20.980 line:15%
and carried our sorrows.
297
00:14:20.980 --> 00:14:23.170 line:15%
Yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten
298
00:14:23.170 --> 00:14:24.370 line:15%
of God and afflicted.
299
00:14:24.370 --> 00:14:28.330 line:15%
He was wounded for our
transgressions, he was bruised
300
00:14:28.330 --> 00:14:29.350 line:15%
for our iniquities.
301
00:14:29.350 --> 00:14:32.080 line:15%
The chastisement of
our peace was upon him.
302
00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:35.020 line:15%
And with his stripes we are healed -
303
00:14:35.020 --> 00:14:38.170
which means - if you have grief, you need to remember
304
00:14:38.170 --> 00:14:40.960
that Jesus bore your grief.
305
00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:43.930
If you have sorrow, Jesus
carried your sorrow.
306
00:14:43.930 --> 00:14:46.690
If you have a life of transgression, remember he was wounded
307
00:14:46.690 --> 00:14:48.280
for your transgressions.
308
00:14:48.280 --> 00:14:50.870
If you're living in
sin, you can be forgiven
309
00:14:50.870 --> 00:14:53.210
because he was bruised
for your iniquities.
310
00:14:53.210 --> 00:14:54.320
If you're tormented
311
00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:58.340
and have no peace, Jesus was
chastened for your peace.
312
00:14:58.340 --> 00:14:59.360
And if you're physically
313
00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:03.980
or mentally sick, Jesus was
striped with all that whip
314
00:15:03.980 --> 00:15:07.130
and all that surging so you can be healed.
315
00:15:07.130 --> 00:15:10.430
But wait, there's more to the story. We read in Matthew
316
00:15:10.430 --> 00:15:13.460 line:15%
27:45, Mark 15:33
317
00:15:13.460 --> 00:15:18.410 line:15%
and Luke 23:45 that at the moment Jesus died,
318
00:15:18.410 --> 00:15:21.140
the sky turned dark.
319
00:15:21.140 --> 00:15:24.890
And in fact, this event was
so well known, it was recorded
320
00:15:24.890 --> 00:15:29.030
by historians at that time. The historians Phlegon, Thallus
321
00:15:29.030 --> 00:15:31.970
and Julius Africanus all referred
322
00:15:31.970 --> 00:15:34.400
to a supernatural darkness
323
00:15:34.400 --> 00:15:38.720
that covered the earth at the
time of Jesus crucifixion.
324
00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:40.340
It began at the sixth hour
325
00:15:40.340 --> 00:15:43.790
and the sixth hour was the very moment
326
00:15:43.790 --> 00:15:48.320 line:15%
that the high priest arrayed in full priestly garments begin
327
00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:51.380 line:15%
the procession in which he
would enter the temple courts
328
00:15:51.380 --> 00:15:55.880 line:15%
to slaughter a pure
spotless Passover lamb.
329
00:15:55.880 --> 00:15:58.490 line:15%
But the darkness that
covered the earth lasted
330
00:15:58.490 --> 00:16:02.150
until the ninth hour, which
was about the time when the
331
00:16:02.150 --> 00:16:05.690
sacrifice of the Passover lamb
would be coming to an end.
332
00:16:05.690 --> 00:16:08.930
And it was in that moment
that Jesus cried out
333
00:16:08.930 --> 00:16:11.600
and said, it is finished.
334
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:16.010
All of this was synchronized
in its timing by God.
335
00:16:16.010 --> 00:16:17.780
And after breathing for the last time
336
00:16:17.780 --> 00:16:21.050
and gathering enough air in
his lungs, he shouted out
337
00:16:21.050 --> 00:16:22.250
and said, it is finished,
338
00:16:22.250 --> 00:16:24.380
which meant the assignment was complete.
339
00:16:24.380 --> 00:16:27.890
And after proclaiming those
words with his last ounce
340
00:16:27.890 --> 00:16:32.690
of strength, Matthew 27:50
says He yielded up the ghost.
341
00:16:32.690 --> 00:16:37.400
And that was the moment when
God ripped that veil in half
342
00:16:37.400 --> 00:16:41.840
and the presence of God became
open to anyone who had come
343
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:44.120
to God through the blood of Jesus.
344
00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:47.630
And that is why Paul wrote in Ephesians 2:
345
00:16:47.630 --> 00:16:52.010 line:15%
14, that God had broken down
the middle wall of partition
346
00:16:52.010 --> 00:16:55.490
between us; but something else happened.
347
00:16:55.490 --> 00:16:58.100
We read that the earth trembled.
348
00:16:58.100 --> 00:17:01.910
We read this in Matthew 27:51,
349
00:17:01.910 --> 00:17:05.630 line:15%
The earth did quake and the rocks rent.
350
00:17:05.630 --> 00:17:07.850 line:15%
The word earth that is used in this verse
351
00:17:07.850 --> 00:17:09.650 line:15%
describes the whole earth.
352
00:17:09.650 --> 00:17:12.050
This was a worldwide event.
353
00:17:12.050 --> 00:17:15.710 line:15%
The word quake describes
a quaking of the earth.
354
00:17:15.710 --> 00:17:18.620 line:15%
It means to agitator
to create a commotion.
355
00:17:18.620 --> 00:17:21.770 line:15%
And it's where we get the
word for a seismograph,
356
00:17:21.770 --> 00:17:25.070 line:15%
which is the apparatus that
registers the intensity
357
00:17:25.070 --> 00:17:26.150 line:15%
of an earthquake.
358
00:17:26.150 --> 00:17:29.480
This was an earthquake that
occurred in that moment.
359
00:17:29.480 --> 00:17:32.510
Origen, the early Christian leader who is so reputed
360
00:17:32.510 --> 00:17:36.740
for his accuracy tells us there was great earthquakes at the
361
00:17:36.740 --> 00:17:39.710
time of Jesus crucifixion.
362
00:17:39.710 --> 00:17:43.130
It's very interesting that
Israel rejected Jesus.
363
00:17:43.130 --> 00:17:46.100
The Roman authorities crucified Jesus,
364
00:17:46.100 --> 00:17:50.100
but creation itself always recognized him.
365
00:17:50.100 --> 00:17:54.120
And during Jesus' life
on this earth, the wind
366
00:17:54.120 --> 00:17:56.400
and the waves obeyed him.
367
00:17:56.400 --> 00:18:00.000
The water turned into wine
at his command, the fishes
368
00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:02.670
and bread multiplied at his touch.
369
00:18:02.670 --> 00:18:07.230
Atoms in the water solidified so he could walk across it.
370
00:18:07.230 --> 00:18:11.970
The ceased when he spoke to it
and the earth shook, trembled
371
00:18:11.970 --> 00:18:14.880
and shuttered at the death of its creator
372
00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:17.340
for it instantly felt its loss.
373
00:18:17.340 --> 00:18:22.020
The earth shuttered so violently that when Jesus died,
374
00:18:22.020 --> 00:18:24.005 line:15%
the Bible says even though rocks rent
375
00:18:24.005 --> 00:18:28.140 line:15%
and the word rocks in Greek describes massive, massive rocks
376
00:18:28.140 --> 00:18:30.660 line:15%
and the word rent means to render terror
377
00:18:30.660 --> 00:18:35.220 line:15%
or to violently tear under
or to terribly fracture.
378
00:18:35.220 --> 00:18:38.040
This was a serious
earthquake that occurred
379
00:18:38.040 --> 00:18:39.900
that moment when Jesus died.
380
00:18:39.900 --> 00:18:44.130
And the way to the holy of Holies was permanently opened in
381
00:18:44.130 --> 00:18:45.570
that moment.
382
00:18:45.570 --> 00:18:49.620
And that is why Hebrews 10:19 declares - Having
383
00:18:49.620 --> 00:18:54.330 line:15%
therefore brethren boldness
to enter into the holiest
384
00:18:54.330 --> 00:18:57.600 line:15%
by the blood of Jesus.
385
00:18:58.920 --> 00:19:00.510
We've covered a lot today,
386
00:19:00.510 --> 00:19:03.540
but we've seen that Jesus did his part
387
00:19:03.540 --> 00:19:05.160
and now it's up to you
388
00:19:05.160 --> 00:19:07.890
and me to receive the divine help
389
00:19:07.890 --> 00:19:10.590
that Jesus has to give us.
390
00:19:10.590 --> 00:19:15.180
But my friends, the price
that Jesus paid was for me.
391
00:19:15.180 --> 00:19:19.440
It was for you we're told in 1 Corinthians 6:
392
00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:23.310 line:15%
19, that we are bought with a price
393
00:19:23.310 --> 00:19:27.270
and the price that was
paid for us is the blood
394
00:19:27.270 --> 00:19:29.130
of Jesus.
395
00:19:29.130 --> 00:19:32.670
And the moment Jesus was
finished paying that price
396
00:19:32.670 --> 00:19:34.350
and cried out, it is finished,
397
00:19:34.350 --> 00:19:36.660
the barrier that once stood between God
398
00:19:36.660 --> 00:19:40.560
and man was permanently
removed as God reached out
399
00:19:40.560 --> 00:19:42.150
with his invisible hands
400
00:19:42.150 --> 00:19:45.570
and took that veil, ripped
it in half through one half
401
00:19:45.570 --> 00:19:47.640
to one side, the other
half to the other side.
402
00:19:47.640 --> 00:19:51.000
And now by faith, anyone who
will come through the blood
403
00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:55.710
of Jesus can find access
directly into the presence
404
00:19:55.710 --> 00:19:57.510
of God the Father.
405
00:19:57.510 --> 00:19:59.820
That is true for you if
you're a child of God.
406
00:19:59.820 --> 00:20:01.800
Now, if you're not a child of God,
407
00:20:01.800 --> 00:20:04.050
that can become true of you.
408
00:20:04.050 --> 00:20:05.850 line:15%
If you'll repent of your sin,
409
00:20:05.850 --> 00:20:08.940 line:15%
and if you'll call Jesus
the Lord of your life,
410
00:20:08.940 --> 00:20:13.170 line:15%
we're told in Romans 10, you will be saved.
411
00:20:13.170 --> 00:20:15.720 line:15%
And in that moment, you also will find
412
00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:18.600 line:15%
that your debt has been paid in full.
413
00:20:18.600 --> 00:20:20.280 line:15%
It's a turning point for you.
414
00:20:20.280 --> 00:20:22.620 line:15%
A new chapter will begin in your life
415
00:20:22.620 --> 00:20:27.600 line:15%
and you will have free access
into the presence of God.
416
00:20:27.600 --> 00:20:31.260 line:15%
And if you've never prayed for
that to happen in your life,
417
00:20:31.260 --> 00:20:34.170 line:15%
today is your day.
418
00:20:34.170 --> 00:20:39.170 line:15%
Call us. We're waiting to
pray with you right now,
419
00:20:39.270 --> 00:20:43.830
but today we've been looking
at why Jesus cried out it
420
00:20:43.830 --> 00:20:44.940
is finished.
421
00:20:44.940 --> 00:20:48.010
We've seen four meanings of
that that are very relevant
422
00:20:48.010 --> 00:20:51.070
for us, and we've seen why the veil
423
00:20:51.070 --> 00:20:54.640 line:15%
of the temple was rent
from the top all the way
424
00:20:54.640 --> 00:20:56.290 line:15%
to the bottom.
425
00:20:56.290 --> 00:20:58.240 line:15%
But we've got so much more to cover
426
00:20:58.240 --> 00:21:02.920 line:15%
and we're going to pick up right here in the next program.
427
00:21:02.920 --> 00:21:05.290 line:15%
Now I want you to watch this
428
00:21:05.290 --> 00:21:08.140
and then I'll be right
back to pray for you.
429
00:21:08.140 --> 00:21:11.710

watered down Easter sermons?

and resurrection, which are

446
00:21:55.570 --> 00:21:58.060

and a holy God.

464
00:22:42.460 --> 00:22:44.890
This is Rick Renner and I'm
standing in the foyer of our
465
00:22:44.890 --> 00:22:49.540
Moscow TV studio. In Matthew 28:19,
466
00:22:49.540 --> 00:22:54.190
Jesus said, go you therefore,
and teach all nations.
467
00:22:54.190 --> 00:22:57.610
We take that command very seriously.
468
00:22:57.610 --> 00:23:00.430
And in fact, we believe it
is a command that Jesus gave
469
00:23:00.430 --> 00:23:01.990
to every single believer.
470
00:23:01.990 --> 00:23:04.120
He gave it to me, he gave it to you.
471
00:23:04.120 --> 00:23:07.330
We each have a responsibility
to take the gospel
472
00:23:07.330 --> 00:23:09.010 line:15%
and the trusted teaching of the Bible
473
00:23:09.010 --> 00:23:10.600 line:15%
to the ends of the earth.
474
00:23:10.600 --> 00:23:13.240
And I'm so thankful for our partners
475
00:23:13.240 --> 00:23:16.330
because they help us do this.
476
00:23:16.330 --> 00:23:19.060
We can teach, we can preach,
477
00:23:19.060 --> 00:23:21.340
but it takes a lot of money to do the job.
478
00:23:21.340 --> 00:23:22.990 line:15%
And our partners put the fuel in the
479
00:23:22.990 --> 00:23:25.150
tank so that we can do it.
480
00:23:25.150 --> 00:23:28.330
A partner is someone who
regularly gives financially
481
00:23:28.330 --> 00:23:31.870
to the ministry they give
as they're led by the Lord,
482
00:23:31.870 --> 00:23:33.760
but they do it regularly.
483
00:23:33.760 --> 00:23:36.490 line:15%
And if you're not a partner
yet, I want to invite you
484
00:23:36.490 --> 00:23:39.250 line:15%
to become a part of the
giving team with our ministry
485
00:23:39.250 --> 00:23:42.160 line:15%
to help us fulfill the great commission.
486
00:23:42.160 --> 00:23:46.040 line:15%
Jesus wants to use me, but
Jesus wants to use you.
487
00:23:46.040 --> 00:23:47.690 line:15%
People need to be reached.
488
00:23:47.690 --> 00:23:49.130 line:15%
They need the gospel
489
00:23:49.130 --> 00:23:51.500 line:15%
and they need the trusted
teaching of the Bible.
490
00:23:51.500 --> 00:23:55.040 line:15%
So please pray about becoming
a partner with our ministry
491
00:23:55.040 --> 00:23:59.210 line:15%
and you can do so by calling
us or by going online.
492
00:23:59.210 --> 00:24:01.820 line:15%
And we're waiting to
hear from you right now.
493
00:24:04.550 --> 00:24:08.660
My friends, when Jesus
cried out, it is finished,
494
00:24:08.660 --> 00:24:11.720 line:15%
he was declaring the
mission was accomplished.
495
00:24:11.720 --> 00:24:13.730 line:15%
He was declaring the last sacrifice
496
00:24:13.730 --> 00:24:16.100 line:15%
for sin had finally been made.
497
00:24:16.100 --> 00:24:19.880 line:15%
He was declaring that the
debt for our sin had been paid
498
00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:22.520
and he was declaring that
everything old had ended
499
00:24:22.520 --> 00:24:24.560
and a new chapter was beginning.
500
00:24:24.560 --> 00:24:28.280
All of that is in those
words, it is finished.
501
00:24:28.280 --> 00:24:31.520
And when that veil was ripped
from the top to the bottom,
502
00:24:31.520 --> 00:24:35.450
the way into God's presence
was permanently opened
503
00:24:35.450 --> 00:24:38.960
for anyone who comes to
God through the blood
504
00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:40.910
of Jesus Christ.
505
00:24:40.910 --> 00:24:42.230
And that's me and that's you.
506

00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:56.810 line:15%
of God every day of your life
for the rest of your life.
511
00:24:56.810 --> 00:25:00.110 line:15%
Wow, that I've got so
much more to say to you,

00:25:00.110 --> 00:25:03.170 line:15%
which I'm going to say

513
00:25:03.170 --> 00:25:05.420 line:15%

We're gonna pray for God to move
520
00:25:20.570 --> 00:25:25.570 line:15%
and Jesus is going to do
what needs to be done.
521
00:25:25.880 --> 00:25:27.650 line:15%
But I wanna pray for you right now
522
00:25:27.650 --> 00:25:29.660 line:15%
so put your hand on your heart.
523
00:25:29.660 --> 00:25:32.090 line:15%
Father, we thank you that
you loved us so much
524
00:25:32.090 --> 00:25:35.720 line:15%
you sent Jesus to die
for us as the lamb of God
525
00:25:35.720 --> 00:25:37.130 line:15%
to take away the sin of the world,
526
00:25:37.130 --> 00:25:42.130 line:15%
and Jesus paid in full the
debt that we could never pay.
527
00:25:42.260 --> 00:25:43.970 line:15%
And Lord, today we say thank you
528
00:25:43.970 --> 00:25:46.580 line:15%
that the old chapter in our life is closed
529
00:25:46.580 --> 00:25:47.870 line:15%
and through your death barrel
530
00:25:47.870 --> 00:25:50.510 line:15%
and resurrection, you've started a brand new chapter in our
531
00:25:50.510 --> 00:25:54.140 line:15%
life and the future is positive and bright.
532
00:25:54.140 --> 00:25:59.140 line:15%
We thank you for that.
In Jesus name, amen.

00:25:59.300 --> 00:26:01.820
I'll see you in the next episode
534
00:26:01.820 --> 00:26:05.030

535
00:26:05.030 --> 00:26:07.970
of a king is, there is power."
