this message I want to encourage your

faith today I want to talk to you about

the power of an empty tomb The power of

an empty tomb In

1992 I went to Israel for my first time

the 1900s

How many of you were alive in the 1900s

where are the 19 my favorite people all

right Yeah that's

right 1992 I went to Israel for the

first time And and I was excited as as

as any firsttime traveler would go to to

experience the land and open my Bible

and have these places come alive And and

it did just that all through the land

from the the Galilee region up north all

the way down to Jerusalem All of it just

just comes alive in such special ways

But but throughout the trip there are

certain places that just kind of hit

like a sledgehammer in the chest That

was really impactful for me And one of

those places was when we got to what's

called the Garden Tomb The Garden Tomb

is a is a place that they have located

in Israel just outside the gates of

Jerusalem uh outside the walls of

Jerusalem that actually mirrors exactly

what the Bible says giving location

description what it was to look like

where Jesus would have been buried Had

to be in a rich man's tomb It had to be

in a garden It had to be just outside of

the of the walls There's there's so many

pieces that line up with that including

uh there's a there's like a little wall

like a twoft wall in front of the tomb

uh where you see the door that's open

where a big stone would have been rolled

in that trough to hold it to seal that

tomb up And what's exciting is when you

go on this trip uh when you go with us

uh we're going to not just have you sit

and look on the outside we get to take

you inside the tomb You get to like step

inside of this tomb and look around But

here's my favorite part On the wall when

you get in there it's got this little

plaque on there It's got this little

piece of wood and it says this He is not

here He is risen Anybody glad Jesus got

up any Anybody glad that that the the

tomb could not hold

him You see this is why it's so special

because that tomb Jesus's tomb honestly

is a place where the world was changed

forever the world was changed forever

And I want to deal with that today You

know this Easter story we're looking at

it through 2,000 years of stained glass

and church and life And we don't we it's

hard for us to really comprehend and

fully connect with what the power the

emotion the impact of those three days

were Think about this Jesus raised as a

little Jewish boy up until the age of 30

being trained taught by rabbis being

taught in his family attending synagogue

That's what he did till the age of 30 At

the age of 30 that was the legal age

that you could now become a priest or a

Levite And so Jesus began his ministry

at the age of 30 And he died at 33 We

dealt with that last Friday night in

Good Friday He only ministered for three

years So every Bible story you read

about Jesus ministering teaching doing

miracles it all happened in a three-year

period And he's with his disciples his

boys are with him all during that time

they're laughing they're cutting up

they're traveling spending late nights

together They're hearing Jesus teach the

miracles taking place I I love the

movies that are out now I love The

Chosen that is giving us a picture as to

what this looks like And and and House

of David you know I'm I'm loving that

series what's going on now There's a lot

of exciting pictures that we have to

connect us to the story But but but if

you and I could put ourselves in the in

the shoes and the sandals if you would

of the disciples and of Jesus's family

can you imagine watching the guy that

you ate with laughed with saw miracles

take place heard him teach and express

his love and his compassion for people

everywhere

You see the life being beaten out of

him like like you're watching them whip

his back off of his

body The man that you loved That's my

that's my guy That's that's my friend

That's my savior But that's we've

laughed together We've we've got

one-on-one conversations He and I

there's something special we have and

they're killing him right now Can you

imagine his mother of course you can't

But his mom standing there watching this

happen to her

son and knowing that he's the son of God

Listen y'all listen I'm just telling you

Here's how I know that I'm not God

Here's how I know it Because the guys

that are beating Jesus the man who got

the whip and was beating his back off of

his body Jesus was the one who gave him

the breath and the strength that morning

to do it

He wasn't just 100% man He was 100% God

the men who drove spikes through his

wrist and through his feet Jesus that

day gave him the strength the power the

ability to wake up and do that to him In

other words there's a lot of thing you

Anybody ever been triggered by somebody

don't lie It's Easter and you're in

church Everyone say yes It takes the

least thing to trigger us You come to

church someone sitting in my seat No

baby that ain't your seat You got here

late That's just kind of how like like

nobody parked in your spot That's not

how this rolls Like it takes the Anybody

ever just driven down Florida Avenue oh

you've been triggered a time or two I

promise you right there I I I guarantee

it These guys are mocking Jesus to his

face Pilate looked at Jesus and says

"Don't you realize I could release you

or have you crucified?" And Jesus looks

back at him and says "The only authority

you have is the authority I've given

you."

That's pretty boss He wasn't triggered

In fact Jesus had to be so careful the

thoughts that he

had in his God nature If he thought

wrong or against any situation going on

even while on the

cross thousands of angels would have

descended and decimated the entire place

He had to guard his thoughts that he

didn't destroy the ones that were he

gave the power to destroy him This is

what's going on for three days now He

dies He's buried And now the

anticipation is growing The anticipation

of what he told us in 3 days he would

raise himself back from the dead He said

"Knock me down." And in 3 days later I

will get back up This claim was

unprecedented Nobody had talked about

raising themselves from the dead And

this is why in Matthew 27 we see the

rabbis we with the the the temple elite

that this religious sect of people that

doesn't even relate with the common

Jewish people in that time They were

this elite that were trying to control

everything They said "I'll tell you

we'll handle that We're the one that put

the charges against him to have him

killed." They went to Pilate and said

"Pilate would you please give us some of

your Roman guards to go guard the tomb?"

Because Jesus said "3 days he's coming

back Just guard the tomb for three days

so that the disciples don't go steal his

body and start these stories that now we

lose control of the people We've got to

keep them where they are." And so the

Bible tells us that Pilate said yes And

historical record tells us that

Petronius was the head guard the man

that was over that group that went out

to the grave There were eight men total

that were at the grave And in order to

really make it solidified what Pilate

did is he said "Not only will we send

eight men but on the tomb when they

rolled the stone a 4,000 lb stone in

front of this tomb it will take multiple

men." What we'll do in addition to that

is I'm going to put a a wax seal on it

and we will put the insignia of Rome's

ring there The insignia of Rome will be

in the wax so that if anybody shows up

and they defeat our guards number one

then they've got to decide to break the

seal And if they break the seal they

have challenged Rome

itself They were doing all they can to

seal this deal and lock it down

They thought that it was working well

until an angel showed

up The Bible says that an angel showed

up All eight men hit the ground cry wet

their pants All that is going on The

angel rolls the stone out of the way and

sits on the

stone That's what the Bible says And

then the women who were coming to

actually anoint the body of Jesus they

run into this angel He's sitting on the

stone And look what the Bible says in

Matthew 28:es 5 and 6 Then the angel

spoke to the women Don't be afraid He

said I know you are looking for Jesus

who was crucified Read this with me with

your Easter Sunday morning voice Ready

go He isn't here He is risen from the

dead just as

come and see where his body was

lying They walked into an open

tomb and looked and he was gone Can I

just can I just tell you something about

this jesus did not need the stone moved

in order to resurrect

No Because we we find out later that

when Jesus leaves and he goes to visit

his disciples the Bible says he walked

through a wall He didn't come through

the door How many know that's pretty

boss right there like that that's that's

pretty good stuff Like just walked right

through that That's what your Bible says

So if he could walk through a wall then

he could walk through a stone There was

no issue that was blocking Jesus So then

why would the angel need to remove the

stone why why did the angel do all that

why did the angel need to roll it away

well let me just help you with something

God didn't open the tomb to let Jesus

out God opened the tomb to let us in

He opened the tomb so that you and I

could step in and realize he ain't here

no more God I want you to know God has

removed every obstacle from you and I

reaching to who Jesus is to experience

the power the fullness the promise of

everything that he has for you and I And

maybe today you're here and you feel a

little bit like the disciples if we're

just going to be honest Between Jesus

being buried and Jesus getting up that

was a long time for people who love

Jesus because they saw him go down and

they went through some pain And maybe

you say "There's some situations in my

life that have died Scott There's things

in my home There's things going on in my

finances There's things in my body I got

to report There's things in some

relationships that I'm dealing with and

I feel like it has been buried It's dead

It's in the tomb I'm just here to tell

you right now the same Jesus that got

himself up three days later has the

power to resurrect you as well Whatever

it is you're facing whatever broke your

heart whatever is causing questions I'm

not talking to you about a mythological

figure I'm talking to you about the son

of the living God who's able to do the

absolute impossible and turn situations

around Maybe you've not been dealing

with it for three days Maybe you've been

three months Maybe it's been a

three-year period and you've almost

given up hope I'm challenging you to

keep believing like the disciples did

and expect Jesus to walk in the room any

day now and turn the situation around

Would you turn to somebody and tell them

he can change it all he can change it

all Jesus said "Three days and I'll be

back." What What's the three days all

about why did it need three days well

you have to understand in the Jewish

culture Jesus was putting to bed every

excuse people could make about his

getting up Because in the culture

whenever somebody died their spirit left

It would hover around the grave for up

to three days but then it would leave

And so for Jesus to be in the grave for

three days that means it wasn't that he

was just asleep He didn't just pass out

He wasn't just in a coma and then come

out of it No no no He was gone It was

over And that's why he had a three-day

period there But here's what's

interesting When he resurrects from the

dead you can read this through several

gospels As you put all of Matthew Mark

Luke and John you begin to look at their

story of this The Bible says that Jesus

then told the women "Go tell the

disciples I'm up I'm back Just like I

said." Now y'all if you want everybody

to know something just

You know I just want to thank the Lord

right now for stopping me before I said

something

that Jesus said he used a woman Now you

here here's what's here's what's

interesting A woman's witness for her to

speak for example in a court of law her

her her voice her witness would be

downgraded It would not be regarded in

Jesus's day in Jesus's culture So if you

were going to fabricate a story you

would never write in that a woman was

the first one to share the good news of

Jesus If you were making a story up in

order to convince people you would

always bring a man in or a group of men

because when they testified oh it must

be true But you have to understand when

you're just telling a story just like it

happened there's no reason to fabricate

anything You just write it down the way

it took place And that's what we have

here And here's what happened God broke

Jesus broke the cultural bias against

women Help Hang with me And he turned

nobody's into somebody's who told

everybody that they found nobody in the

tomb and that anybody could come see for

themsel Amen Right there you go

Nobody And that's what you and I are

today If we're just going to be honest

we're just a bunch of nobodies telling

everybody about somebody who can change

anybody Because if he changed me

he can sure enough change you He can

change anybody's situation The truth is

some of y'all in here we would not want

to hang with you before you knew Jesus

I'm just telling you right now Some of

y'all kind of scary like because we've

been through anybody you were somebody

different before you met Jesus Any can

anybody just admit to that right here

look we all know it anyway Just admit it

Raise your hand Yeah we've all been

there But here's the deal after the

resurrection the guards who were like

these little girls laying dead and they

they went running back to the religious

elite in the temple and said "Um yeah we

we got to tell you

something." Yeah What uh the other Okay

early in the morning you know okay

here's what's happened An angel showed

up and we fell down knocked us out and

rolled the stone away And I don't know

how to tell you this but he's gone

The religious elite went nuts Are you

serious they heard the story and so

here's what they concocted This is in

your Bible This is not my opinion This

is in the Bible The religious elite told

the guards So here's your story You tell

everybody that the disciples showed up

while you were asleep and stole his body

and then they paid the guards in order

to secure their

testimony Ladies and gentlemen let me

tell you how ridiculous this is Whenever

the guards try to carry this story ain't

nobody believe in that story Because

everybody knows if you're a Roman guard

and you're guarding a tomb on behalf of

Rome and Pilate if you admitted that you

were asleep on the job

and you lost a body that you were

supposed to be watching over you are

dead You died because you made Rome look

bad Ain't nobody believe in this mess

But this is what they're trying to

fabricate in order to get the word out

and to kill this idea that Jesus was

actually alive I just want you to know

right now that the soldiers in their

head they were trying to keep people out

of the tomb when their real problem was

trying to keep Jesus in the tomb They

didn't realize that Jesus was the one

coming out I didn't have to move

anything because Jesus knows how to get

to where we are Also there's been people

trying to put Jesus in a box for a long

time He him in control him He can't do

this You have to worship this way You

have to dress this way to come to church

You have to praise at this time You have

to be inside of a building And you you

have to be Episcopal You have to be

Lutheran You have to be Methodist You

have to be Baptist You have to be you

you got to we even let Pentecostals even

come in this place Like Like you could

you could be like fullblown heathen

right out of the streets of PK County

Like we we got all these ideas You got

to worship with no hat on No you can

wear a hat You can wear shorts and teas

No you got to wear a suit I just want

you to know right now Jesus will take

anybody just as they are right where

they are All of those boxes mean nothing

when it comes to experiencing the love

of Jesus

Man if he'll take me he'll take you Like

we're all screwed in some area of our

life

Don't believe me just look at your

neighbor Don't say a word Just look at

them They'll understand We are all a

mess in some area of our life None of us

have it all going on But Jesus has been

breaking out of these boxes for a long

time reaching people that no one ever

expected Do you know that the latest

statistics out right now is Gen Z or is

leading the nation in coming after Jesus

gen Z this this younger generation

they're saying our parents are whack our

grandparents are whack culturees a mess

leaders are have lost their mind and

they're tired of listening to the

cultural lies and the spew that keeps

failing them It keeps bottoming out

There is this Jesus love Bible sales are

up 25% right now There is a hunger for

truth that Gen Z is coming after

Hollywood right now Actors and actresses

are coming out They're coming out of the

closet telling about how they love Jesus

This is what univers university campuses

they're They're holding spontaneous

church services baptism services outside

of the stadiums And some of the ball

team the ball players and coaches are

the ones that are baptizing in the back

of their pickup trucks There is worship

and praise breaking out everywhere

Ladies and gentlemen when you got a guy

named Jelly Roll singing hard fought

hallelujah you know something good is

going on in America right

now You can't lock Jesus

in There's there's five main beliefs in

a nutshell So if you want to know what

Christianity is about let me give it to

you in in a nutshell Number one we

believe this Jesus died on a cross

Number two Jesus was buried Number three

Jesus resurrected from the dead on the

third day Number four Jesus appeared to

500 plus people after the

resurrection Number five Jesus is alive

right now Somebody shout right now Right

Oh yeah Oh I felt a little Pentecostal

that I right right there Right there But

watch this Watch this Out of those five

out of those five

all of

that hinges on number

three the

resurrection If he didn't get up it's

all a lie

It all caves It all folds It's over

if he didn't get up This is why Jesus

was on public

display He said publicly not quite

publicly "Put me in the ground Three

days I'm coming back." He announced it

to everybody "That's pretty boss."

Publicly he was beaten He was crucified

He

died and was buried

publicly after the resurrection He

appeared to more than 500 people over a

40day period There's more than 10

accounts of this happening in your

Bible showing up and people being able

to talk to him people being able to

touch him handle it touch him He wasn't

a ghost No baby No baby Let me help you

with something When Jesus rose from the

dead his glorified body came back His

body came back Just like your body and

my body are going to come back I I'm

looking forward to my glorified body

It's going to be about 15 pounds lighter

Yes it is Oh I'm I'm already putting in

my little order as to what my glorified

body looks like But Jesus's body came

back He walked and talked with people

And there's people that have tried to

knock this down Well you have to

understand that guy said he talked to

Jesus because he was a disciple a Jesus

follower and that's why he had did that

Yeah But it was that guy also that they

said "When you're going to kill me for

my faith because of what I believe

crucify me upside down." In other words

you don't die for a lie You only die for

what you know to be truth And if it was

a one-off it was of 500 individuals then

maybe it would be sketchy But what do

you do when all 75 are saying "No we saw

him We talked to him." What do you do

when it's witnessed all through

Jerusalem that he is the one this is why

he went public to completely quash the

idea that it's a fabricated lie That's

why Paul wrote in Acts 26 "This thing

was not done in a corner It was done

publicly You're going to have to deal

with it You can deny it but you can't

stop it because it's a move that we're

still in 2,000 years later And 30% of

this globe claims Jesus as their Lord

and Savior

This is our

reality But what if what if Jesus had

not resurrected from the dead let's just

go here Does it does it really matter

well yes And I will repeat this again We

would all be I'm going to use King James

language

screwed We would be we'd be a train

wreck Look even people that don't

believe in

Jesus the atheist the

agnostic the skeptic that laughs and

turns their head and walks away on a day

like this That that that that's just a

story Ladies and gentlemen even their

lives have been impacted by Jesus Even

though they haven't yet believed in him

because this Bible this Bible has

impacted culture from the time of Jesus

all the way through our penal system is

connected to this customs and order How

we treat people how we revere life how

we take care of humanity how we help the

poor the widow the outcast how we reach

for people and we do things for them

that they can't do back These are

principles that are espoused in the word

of God And let me help you if Jesus

would have died the principles would

have died with him It would have been

another self-help book but it would not

have revolutionized the world So even

people who don't confess Jesus are

living off the blessing of the

resurrection even though they haven't

yet put their faith in him Listen to

what Paul said 1 Corinthians 15:17 If

1 Corinthians 15:17

you're looking for a new tat this is not

one All right So here's what it says If

Christ hasn't come back to life your

faith is worthless and your sin and and

sin still has you in its

power If Christ didn't come back from

the dead you're jacked up You're a mess

And there's no hope In fact let me put

it this way If he didn't come back then

that means God is not sovereign He does

not have power over death Jesus is dead

He's not worthy of worship The Bible is

a lie and all of his promises are dead

The church is only a social service club

This is an absolute waste of time

Preaching That's a joke That's hilarious

That's a waste Oh but Scott wait wait

The messages are just so encouraging

They help me Well I'm glad to hear that

but let me help you with something I

don't preach the message of Jesus

because it's helpful I preach it because

it's true

Something helpful is only full of hype

And hype is not helpful The only thing

that you can build your life on is truth

something that is solid that's not

man-made I didn't come up with this This

is not my idea One greater than I

declared his promises to us And when you

hear it and you get a hold of it it will

carry you through things in life you

never thought you would come through

You'll be living better than you ever

thought you could live Dreams hope joy

You get your life back He'll restore a

home whenever you do it his way

Everything changes I'm so glad he got up

But if he did not hope would be dead

That means fear and sorrow will be your

masters for the rest of your life

There's no ultimate justice or reward

That means only the strong in life will

win and the weak will always lose That

means there's no life after death

There's no promise of seeing loved ones

again There's no purpose to life That

means death is the end of it all We are

unforgiven We are enslaved to the shame

and the guilt of every sin we've ever

committed And shame and guilt and your

reputation will be the lid on your life

for the rest of your life You will live

under that heaviness It will own you It

will you It will bend you over

It will snuff out dreams hopes joy your

laugh You will survive You would not

live if Jesus had not

resurrected But thank God

2,000 years ago on a Sunday

morning something took place There was a

rumble in the jungle You all understand

something happened right there And the

Bible says that he changed the world

forever When he came back he broke

history into two parts He split history

down the middle You see before Jesus got

here that there was one timeline After

Jesus got here they had to start a new

calendar What do you mean Scott i'm

telling you that when Jesus got here his

life and death and resurrection created

a BC and an AD That's how we tell our

calendar and our time right now It's all

centered on Jesus He is the apex of time

and history itself That's why history is

simply his story That's all it is And so

there is a BC in your life also And

there's an AD in your life as well BC is

before you knew Christ and ad is after

you were delivered from yourself and now

we got two different worlds operating in

our life Is anybody glad that Jesus

split your time in two and gave you a

brand new start in

life let me help you Let me help you I'm

I'm trying to finish here If you worship

the Bahigh religion you're a precious

person You got a great heart But let me

just help you You can today go to Acre

Israel and you can visit the remains of

Baha who was the prophet and the teacher

of Bahai That's where his remains are If

you are if you if you are into

Confuciousism and and and Confucianism

you're studying that Well let me just

help you You can go to Janine China and

you can visit the tomb where the body of

Confucious has been laid His bones are

in that grave If if you if you worship

Buddha if you're if you're into that

worship well well then you have to

understand in India you can visit his

ashes where they tell you he has been

laid to rest You can visit that place If

you're into Islam precious heart but you

can still today go to Medina Saudi

Arabia and go to the green dome tomb And

Muhammad his ashes are laid there The

one who was the prophet to Islam I need

you to understand something These were

prophets These were men But all they

could do is teach And they died the

death that regular men do But if you go

to Jerusalem Israel and you visit the

tomb of Jesus I've got good news for you

Ain't nobody there There's no bones

there There's no remains It's over All

he did was Airbnb that grave for three

days I'm here and I'm out Don't need a

mortgage I'm

gone Why is that he wasn't just a

teacher He wasn't just a rabbi He was

the son of the living God who had

authority over death hell and the grave

And when they put him in the ground he

came back with all authority And all

grace and mercy has now been extended to

us Jesus's resurrection proves something

He is who he said he was The Bible is

truth its teachings and its promises You

can bank on it and build your life on it

The penalty of our sin has been paid

It's over The resurrection after death

you and I will be resurrected That means

we live in forever y'all It's going to

go I I know you're enjoying this but the

best is yet to come I'm just telling you

the because he got up we have the

promise that Jesus will return for us We

now have hope in Jesus that is real We

have a purpose in life The comforter is

living inside of us now Jesus is praying

for you at the right hand of the father

and he is pursuing you every day

because he got

up The resurrection matters on so many

levels In fact John 11 25 read this with

me

everybody I am the resurrection and the

life He who believes in me will still

live even if he dies Would you stand to

your feet

[Music]

please ladies and

gentlemen when you've been touched and

impacted by the reality of Jesus

Christ it changes everything

You hear all this and you wonder why I'm

excited to be a Christ follower and why

I'm not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus

Christ You wonder why I can lift my

hands and worship and praise Cuz I know

I know the potential of Scott Thomas

without Jesus But Jesus changed

everything and he can do the same for

you

We go through stuff in life We get hit

We go through when things are buried and

it's hard to believe that there's a

Sunday on the way That something could

be resurrected And sometimes it was our

dreams that died our hope that died

Maybe maybe your faith

died I didn't expect life to go this way

And I'm broken I'm hurting And if I was

going to be real honest I'm dressed nice

and I'm laughing out loud but I am dying

inside right now The disciples felt the

same

way But Jesus is here and he doesn't

disappoint and he's coming to where you

are in order to touch you reach you love

you heal you and bring you back to life

again We're going to pray today and I

want to give you the opportunity to get

it right with Jesus

Maybe you've never prayed this prayer

before Maybe this is the first time

you're praying It's going to be amazing

He's about to split your history into BC

and AD It's going to be

amazing But I also know I'm talking to a

group of people in here If we're going

to be real would we keep it

100% That you love Jesus but your

relationship and your walk with him has

gotten cold and you're not where you

know you need to be All of us know

better than how we're living We all do

But maybe you say "You know what i I
