put before us in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. What it has to do with the resurrection someday, the beautiful text, the text which reveals what the true place shall be. Death, Christ has said in one word, Death as a mission, not death as a wish, not death simply as a plan B, in a stable plan B, but death as a mission. What are we here for? It's explained in the studio register of the book. It will be the power of God on his speech. This way of the posture works with his own body, and it's a sacrifice to God.
[01:10]
He here at this place of people reveals the people's thoughts about death. And he does this in relationship with baptism. Baptism is in this. Baptism is a fact. Baptism is about being buried with Christ into his death. It's not received into his And therefore, because Christ died out of the fullness of his love, out of the fullness of his divine strength, therefore death had no power over him, and he rose from the dead. So that if this death of our Lord Jesus Christ It is not correction that has the last word, but resurrection, restoration, and lifting up into a new divine life, into a new, most glorious life.
[02:24]
And St. Paul has asked that in baptism, we take part in this one and only life. And if there is victory over it, it's the victory of God. Instead, what I mean, I say that again, that is explained as a mystery. A mystery is an act of gracious divine intervention. Mystery is that which God takes upon himself, the great of man. He comes for us, enters into our faith, but then leaves this mystery into his own glory, in that victorious assumption. Everything that is with me,
[03:28]
And that blames to me as it were of the flowing of this old eternal. That is death as it is. And that is what it is for Christians. And I feel so sure that our Christophe is going to preach about that. And he wants you to listen. Because already his faith shows that for him death was and is a mystery, not a curse, not a redeeming. That is what we should understand. You know that I'm glad that we have almost spoken about it, dear friends. Death, of course, is always the familiarest question.
[04:32]
Wish grows its challenge, even on man's abuse of us. Everybody has tried in various ways To deal with this question, get its out of the way and walk by your ear. And the time of his attainment is always that time. So beginning in the knowledge of that, so end to everybody who looks at man as he is, as he acts here in this life. The memory of our brother Christopher is so alive in our mind. We try and comprehend how he walked the mountains, how he fought his battles, how he celebrated victories of crime, how he lived in a general attitude of
[05:44]
or maybe what was happening, explosions, that he knew so well, in the deepest of his heart, there was always the thought of it. He knew that he would not live very long. And when he was in Asia, it was because he realized that time was so enormous and precious to him And because of him, to all of us, we are all in the same boat. One lives for 40 years, the other lives for 80 years, but what is the difference in the life I get with Jesus? So we are all in the same boat, and for all of us, life is special because man simply does not live as animals live.
[06:48]
Forget about the past, not know the future, just for the moment, and the moment is human life, it is not. We carry ourselves, our parents, we anticipate our future, and what is it we cannot For every time there is a man reaching out for eternity, taking as a way a spark of the eternal divine power, and acting in the power of that eternal. That's a free act. A free act has eternal value. Not like the act of death. Therefore, man wheeled out, looking at the face of a human, looking into his eyes.
[07:51]
We know it. Sometimes we say there is air in those eyes. A book would say that looking into the eyes of an animal, looking into the eyes of a human, And especially of everything human. Of the human being that lives in human, the dog is in human. We say, yes, we say this. Look, that is the idea that is in response to all of those seminars who have their hearts open, and not only the same world, have their hearts open to what a human being really actually is. So, by the way, you can't just keep it. He realized that man was eternal.
[08:56]
When he is at his best, he is not satisfied with anything less than that. His love, his good love, was eternal. All his dreams, his dreams were shallow, for shallow in the world, the eternal depth of God. So, there are the two things in this earth, and we have sinned in it. But, therefore, attempts are made to explain the mystery of it. Why does the human being So evidently created for eternity, what other person have to die? That is the question. How can we bring in and then use again eternity in man that inspires that desire or that will?
[10:05]
How can we then mind it? If they think what he does, Stephen Grant wants to And then you know very well there are other kinds of things. The Egyptians, who believed in eternity, tried what I say, tried to involve money for the human body. And that was their eternity. And they put their name to this human body, all the things he had died in life. Especially golden plates, chalices for water, golden plates for the most beloved and popular dishes on the scene.
[11:08]
so that he would enjoy them in him. Now, a few thousand years after they had money, and to this day, let us all survive because of the favorable plans down there. These tombs are being opened by the then of the 20th century, and there are And there are all these golden vessels of delight. What a delight. What can we do but spot? Or what can we do but win? Oh, there are many stories. Attempts of man to master death by love is kind of God. Oh, there are others. And they are going to walk. And they say, walk two days.
[12:12]
And they say, yes, death is a painful reality. Nobody can speak. Therefore, let us wait on both sides as long as we need. And there are two types of people who usually play the flute. the hard things in which the race of mankind has to doubt, and that they are the courageous ones, and instead are those who enjoy it. The courageous ones, they say, because I cannot to die anyhow, therefore I say yet to die. And I believe what they call a dangerous life. And that dangerous life that is going to bother you in your life and probably in your life as well.
[13:18]
If you don't, the big issues are there. The fear. We have seen them in one of the times. Who the guy that they play with. In Ashton Street. that they used to want. They tried to build an empire of this kind of courageous victory over death, and they said it would remain a thousand years. And after about thirty years, it ended in death and destruction, and the nearest of people who neither had the courage of the people, nor did they have the things to do it, and they want to enjoy that. Millions of starving people, millions of miserable people, millions of the people who could neither of them with courage nor any joy in life,
[14:31]
in the way in which the rich men do. So, my dear friends, there's no solution of the problem of death, don't you see? You must agree. And then there is another thing about this. World-wise people, they're a kind of curiosity about it all, saying how we hear the Christian message that death is judgment. But then, what about those who have refused the time of life right? What about those who have done what? Are they then forever condemned? That's their slave with their pigling house. That would really be a death's divider. So what they think is that everybody gets another chance.
[15:35]
That was for what? For the unibody into, let us say, the animal. If it was good, Maybe a higher existence. If the life was better, now maybe Alice and Max were here, were a clean person. And that gets the child whose love of the world is ridiculous. The wisdom of the world really sometimes is nothing but finished. Because doesn't what we urge, and in the face of death, that soul and body be doubled together, that the human soul out of all which uses this body, that one has, has Jesus' own domain.
[16:37]
It's too much of that this body is the aggregate or symbolic expression of everything that lives in what is the human soul. There is man who at his freedom uses this body either for acts of sin or he uses this body for acts of sacrifice. He uses it for good or for worse. And this portion, then, should be separated, and the scope should be separated, and this portion, then, they automatically have to add a little bit of the ridiculous, a complete denial of the inner true essence of the whole universe. That this human person, of course, can do kindness and can do satisfaction and can become better only when it acts in free responsibility.
[17:51]
The care for a human being in free responsibility is the only call of God. which carries in its day punishment for the wrong. But stand alive for Akadinsky's name, and for you, the Indian world. Human life, honestly, is probably more interesting than is for all our Jewish, of our law, our entire life. Our judging of other people and their actions is all quite based on this man's capable response. He has in his own hand the wages of sin and the wages of good. Therein is happiness or misery. So therefore, it is this guide which carries in itself the exuberant importance of descriptive statements which are related in the case of eternity for which man is responsible.
[19:07]
Responsible, I say, to whom he is responsible. He has the answer as freely human being to the supreme of all churches. And there is almighty, all-knowing, all-judging God. And therefore Christianity proclaims that there is a punishment for sin. That there is not really something which is in adherence, absolutely in adherence, in the essence of man, you see. Man is created as holy scripture says, in the English and language of. Or as the wisdom book says, man is created in God. Or Ecclesiasticus says, I put works of God on, I put my confidence, my confidence in you is up.
[20:12]
That man laced clean my worthless works in nature, and then out of this raised my holy name. That is the true vocation of man. Who could deny it? And there were also these fainting canines. If he laced up to it or not, if he laced up to it, then God ought to see you, sir, as he sees you in heaven. Wait for night as he sees you, as he prays, as he prays. By your startlingness, he can see you as he sees you, perfectly in the arms of his eternity. Oh, that it seems that man is wrong, then man does not want to serve your heavenly. as God's intended. Then God thought, man is seven pounds away from me.
[21:21]
And what is then the consequence of man's not wanting to serve the glory of him, but to say, I am one to be God in my own life. Then God opens his arms and waters man's skin. He spews his own flesh. His own flesh ends the stimulant lightness of his own flesh. That flesh which, under the domination of skepticism, will inevitably be corrupted Where is this evil thing? Don't you see the sovereign, like Judas, who turns against the Bible, you see, against the law, you see, who kissed the Lord Jesus Christ and the Lord will explain this?
[22:27]
Man, what the Son of God made man want to give this love that he would live. And therefore this was still, this word in his ear, frame, frame, frame, for what purpose? Teach power. So the one who was God's friend, he, he's the victim of his hatred, of his thirst for power. The God that was in us made Christ the instrument of his own power, of his own ambitions, that was his name. And he held himself, and he burst the sun, and that is the fate of flesh, of man, that refuses to serve. Wants to be his own master at any time.
[23:33]
At the price of his faith. At the price of God. And he birthed a son in all his power. That was the death of Judas. But my dear friend, that's not the death of Brother Christopher. He for no one's death could we for moments not steal the day? We realize that this day at which we assisted, it is the revelation of the new love. That day is meeting, yes, meeting the church. But then you must think who is our church? Who will be blessed if death is the mystery of justice, of divine injustice?
[24:39]
You see, they are all a strict measure of positive points and of negative points. They're counted together cruelly by some official, and then presenting the account It's too bad if it's negative. The good doesn't balance the good and the bad. Too bad. They are not the good and the bad. We say again, and we truly say, death is the punishment for sin. But in that world, the oneness of the good and the bad to not exhaust, I would say, not even touch the mystery of death. Because who has to judge? Who has judged our brother Christ? The Son of God, the wisdom of God, the Lord of God.
[25:47]
Absolutely true. But what is the wisdom of God to do? He can't tell you. Take your funny mistakes, all are mistakes. Die in poverty and sin as the land of God. And then kneel down to God. Wash your manners dirty feet. In order to share his own divine love with us. Miserable state. Miserable state. He is the one on church, the one who died. Dear friends, do we have that we are in the secular courts, presented to the church? Our church, and especially, what kind of man is he? Is he quite reminded?
[26:50]
Is he stoned by the liturgy? Is it called by the action? And then the action is threatened. You need to approve the ban, the judgment, or that means death for the accused. Is that what we do as Christians? The Lord died in us, he judges us. What does that mean? That means nothing. That means the anger, that means the anger of a friend. That means that what we committed, what we did, all that I believe in today, and to correction, that it is us.
[27:51]
I have taken it upon myself. I died for him, just as he could do, not by an opportunity. And you know, my dear friends, our brother Christopher died at the moment in which he was reading these words, the words of Holy Scripture. In his name, the Lord had to deliver a message, a message of God to David the king. David, you are to build a house for God. And David had to deliver this message. Words of the Lord. He tells you, not you should build me up. I will give you.
[28:52]
At the moment in which we vanish from the house is destroyed the power of the dead. And we know that that doesn't mean in the end. The dead is the holy scripture. The world will die. But the one who lives in that dead is not dead because the dead has been taken down. And therefore, when we come to this moment, we hear those words, those words that were Christopher's words. Now you can build your house, I will build you a house. What house? When the son of man, the God who has created this universe, And he extended and took out a virgin there.
[29:59]
Our human nature. Then what did he do? He built a house for us. That house that he built for us, what is written on the inside of that house? What is written there? Forgiveness. I On that doorstep there is written, justice, but justice in God. And that's what I knew by forgiveness. So, my dear friends, the house that Donald has built for us, there he is, the stuff of Donald McNair, that is Donald's wisdom, Donald's power, Donald's strength, eternal strength of the heavenly Father, who set my old heart to do my living, but to do my father's will.
[31:05]
And on the seventh day he said, If this is your will, I take the chalice of death, and I join you. So he did, changing the wind of death into a life-giving mist. That is our truth. And this was for the first time ever. Why did he hear it? Because he will think. Because he had said, yes, you are my light and my salvation. That was living for it, which he had sung on the morning of the day when he died. You are my light and my salvation. Your friends, that's the voice of faith. Those words are words of eternal life, are they not?
[32:11]
So our faith, the faith in Christ, it is eternal. And that is what he received, and I'm sure it's what he heard. At the moment, in this event, this day is not. You should be in their house, but I should be in their house. So, that's the mystery. That is the Christian. That is the Christian view of death. I think that is the Christian reputation of death. It's God's will about death. Now this word, I think, is a word of eternal life for all you can be, who believe in Jesus, and then be blessed and loved. If your heart accuses you, God is bigger than your heart, and he knows everything.
[33:18]
He sends his word to judge you, and this word appears. The son of man with the marks of his wounds, that he suffered for us, in his hands, in his feet, and especially through his heart. That movement of the heart, it leads to what? The courage that puts this happening into this heart that says, my Lord and my God. The doers, worshipers, reliefs. Is that not what Brother Christopher did? So we rejoice. We stand in the island. He claims that was rejoiced in the mystery of this day. It was figured by the senior of Baptists.
[34:22]
And which is not the end, but the kiss with which the Heavenly Father takes in the love of the Lord into his eternal life.
