00:02 male announcer: This presentation is brought to you
00:03 by the friends of the Amazing Facts ministry. 00:08 Doug Batchelor: It's been many years, but it still feels 00:10 like yesterday. 00:12 Living in a cave high above Palm Springs, no money, no prospects 00:16 just drifting through life, deeply confused about who I was 00:20 and wondering if life held any purpose. 00:23 Coming from a wealthy family, I could have had it all: money, 00:27 power, fame, but this all struck me as plastic and empty. 00:32 It wasn't until I was at the lowest point in my life when I 00:35 found true meaning. 00:37 Somebody had left a Bible in my cave, and I quickly discovered 00:42 why this is the number one best seller in the world. 00:45 Friends, I can't even begin to tell you what the Bible has done 00:48 for me. 00:50 It's the awe inspiring living Word that has the power to 00:53 transform human hearts. 00:55 Jesus said, "If you abide in My word, you are My 00:58 disciples indeed. 01:00 And you'll know the truth, and the truth will make 01:02 you free." 01:04 And this is still the truth today. 01:06 And it's the reason that I'm standing here today, thankful to 01:09 be able to proclaim His Word and eager to bring hope to those 01:13 in need. 01:14 I truly believe that today's program is going to fulfill that 01:17 desire and leave you with a rich blessing. 01:20 And don't forget, stay tuned for our very important free offer at 01:25 the end of this presentation. 01:30 Doug: Really, it's the time of year, about 1,992 years ago 01:38 during the Passover, Jesus died on the cross for our sins. 01:46 He rested in the tomb, even on the Sabbath day, from redeeming 01:50 mankind, and then He rose from the dead. 01:55 And our subject this morning is going to revolve around the 01:58 subject of the Resurrection. 02:02 And I'll be giving you a little bit of personal information on 02:06 why I believe in the Resurrection. 02:08 And keep in mind, I'm coming from a background where I was 02:11 raised agnostic, but I'd like to begin with something that may 02:17 surprise you a little bit. 02:19 These are amazing facts about a movie. 02:24 Now, I don't go to movies, but I bet most of you have 02:28 seen "Ben-Hur." 02:31 I saw it too. 02:35 It had the largest budget, over $15 million, of any movie made 02:38 up to that time, about $150 million today. 02:41 That would probably be closer to $500 million today. 02:44 I think Titanic was like $500 million budget. 02:47 Can you imagine that? 02:49 It had the largest sets built of any film production at the time. 02:54 A hundred costume wardrobe fabricators, two hundred artists 02:59 and workmen provided the hundreds of freezes and statutes 03:01 needed for the film. 03:04 Over 200 camels and 2,500 horses were used in making the film. 03:12 Now, you know, Amazing Facts is involved in completing a film 03:15 right now called "Armageddon: The Final Events of Bible 03:18 Prophecy," and ours is a low budget film, but it's going to 03:22 be really--it's a big budget for us. 03:26 But I can't imagine working with 2,500 horses. 03:30 I mean, the crew that you need just to handle them. 03:32 Ten thousand extras were in the movie. 03:37 The nine minute chariot race has become one of cinema's most 03:40 famous action sequences. 03:43 And contrary to urban myths you heard, nobody died during 03:46 that filming. 03:49 It's the longest ever musical score composed and conducted by 03:53 Miklos Rozsa. 03:55 It had a $14.7 million marketing budget. 03:58 It was the fastest growing, as well as the highest grossing 04:01 film of 1959, becoming the second highest grossing film in 04:06 history at the time, only after "Gone With the Wind." 04:10 It won 11 Academy Awards. 04:13 No picture has won more. 04:15 Some pictures have tied for 11 Academy Awards. 04:18 Epic film. 04:20 Now, the reason I shared all that with you is because there's 04:24 a backstory. 04:28 Back in the 1870s, two men got on a train in North America. 04:36 One of them was General Lee--I'm sorry, General Lew Wallace, and 04:43 he encountered another friend who had also fought in the Civil 04:46 War with him on the side of the North, his name was 04:49 Robert Ingersoll. 04:51 Now, I don't know if you recognize the name Robert 04:53 Ingersoll, but he was probably the most famous 04:56 American agnostic. 04:59 He would go around and do seminars and talk about how the 05:05 Bible cannot be trusted and religion is a sham, and he 05:09 talked to packed houses. 05:10 He was very eloquent, went into politics and became a 05:13 successful politician. 05:15 They knew each other from the war. 05:17 And Ingersoll asked General Wallace if he'd like to sit with 05:21 him in his coach. 05:22 So they sat in their private coach and they had a long ride 05:27 going to this convention, they were both going to the 05:28 same convention. 05:30 And Ingersoll took in talking to Wallace about there is no God. 05:36 The Bible cannot be trusted, and he waxed eloquent, it flowed 05:41 like a river for hours. 05:42 And Wallace was not especially religious. 05:45 He was rather indifferent to religion, but he was so rattled 05:51 by what Ingersoll said that he resolved, you know, I need to 05:55 study into this for myself, because if what he's saying is 05:59 true, nothing really matters, and he needed to find out. 06:03 So he did a personal study on is there a God? 06:09 Is the Bible true? 06:11 And by the way, Wallace, while he was once a general, afterward 06:14 he was an attorney. 06:16 So he looked at it from a logical, defensible position as 06:21 a lawyer. 06:23 Here's what he says. 06:25 "To write all of my reflections would require many pages. 06:28 I passed them to say simply that I resolved to study the subject. 06:33 It only remains to say that I did as resolved, with results. 06:38 The first result is I wrote the book 'Ben-Hur.' 06:43 The second is a conviction amounting to absolute belief in 06:48 God and the divinity of Christ." 06:52 So that whole movie that became an epic film about the 06:56 Resurrection, it's what you would call historical fiction, 07:00 it grew out of someone being challenged on the subject of is 07:03 the Bible true? 07:05 Did Jesus really live? 07:06 Did He rise from the dead? 07:08 Now when I first heard this, I was a little shook. 07:11 You know, I went to--I'm not Catholic, but I went to two 07:14 different Catholic schools. 07:16 And I remember hearing one time them talk about one of the 07:20 prayers, they were teaching me the Beatitudes in one of our 07:22 Bible classes. 07:24 And they said, you know, Jesus, you know, He taught, and then He 07:27 died on the cross, and He rose from the dead the third day, and 07:30 then He told his disciples to go out, and I said, wait, wait, 07:33 wait, let's back up. 07:34 He what? 07:35 He rose from the dead? 07:38 I was only in third grade at the time. 07:41 But I said, well, that doesn't happen every day. 07:44 And I kind of struggled with it even back then. 07:49 And so I was pretty much an agnostic until I began to search 07:52 for is there a God when I was about 16, 17. 07:55 How did I come to the point where I could believe in 07:57 the Resurrection? 07:59 Well, I've got seven primary points, I may take a few rabbit 08:02 trails along the way. 08:04 First of all, two thirds of American adults, there was a 08:07 survey that was done by the Life Study, and two-thirds of 08:13 Americans, 66% say they do believe in the biblical account 08:18 of the physical Resurrection of Jesus. 08:20 But it's troubling when you realize that those that are 08:24 between 18 and 30, 18 and 34, 59% do not believe. 08:30 Meaning that the generation that is coming along, as you probably 08:33 already heard from numerous studies, is becoming more and 08:37 more agnostic, and less and less believing in Christianity, 08:43 believing in God. 08:46 Things are changing in our culture, and I'd like to 08:48 especially appeal to that group in my comments this morning. 08:52 Why do I believe in the Resurrection? 08:54 One, it was foretold in the Bible. 08:58 Paul says in 1 Corinthians, he said that Jesus rose the third 09:01 day as the scriptures say, according to the scriptures. 09:05 There are many scriptures. 09:07 You can look in the Old and the New Testament, Old Testament, 09:09 Psalm 16, verse 10, "You will not leave my soul in the grave." 09:13 This is speaking of the Messiah. 09:16 He didn't say I want to go to the grave. 09:17 He said, you want to leave it there, "nor will your holy one," 09:20 the Messiah, "see corruption. 09:22 Wouldn't be there long enough to decompose, which happens after 09:25 the third day. 09:27 Jesus walking around when He was alive, He told them over and 09:31 over, "From that time," Matthew 16:21, "Jesus began to show to 09:35 His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things 09:39 from the elders and the chief priests, be killed, and rise the 09:43 third day." 09:45 He said it very frequently. 09:47 He said it so frequently that even His enemies remembered this 09:51 after He was crucified, they went to Pilate. 09:53 You find this in Matthew 27:63. 09:56 They say, "Sir, we remember while He was still alive, how 10:00 that deceiver said after three days, I will rise." 10:03 They remembered it. 10:05 That's why they requested a guard at the tomb, which of 10:09 course, just further proves that it did happen, increased the 10:12 number of witnesses. 10:13 So there are so many prophecies. 10:15 I mean, Jesus said, "No sign will be given to this 10:17 generation, but the sign of Jonah." 10:19 And the the big sign of Jonah is, you know, it's not very 10:23 likely that a person is going to come out of a fish alive after 10:26 three days. 10:27 Jonah's experience is a type of a Resurrection. 10:31 Indeed, Daniel coming out of the lion's den is a type of 10:34 the Resurrection. 10:35 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego surviving the fiery furnace is a 10:39 type of the Resurrection. 10:40 When Abraham goes up the mountain with Isaac and he's 10:44 going to the place of sacrifice and there's a substitute, and 10:49 Isaac comes back alive, Paul tells us that that is a type of 10:53 the Resurrection. 10:55 And so you've got all these different examples in the Bible 10:57 where it looks like it was hopeless, and then things 11:00 turned around. 11:01 So the prophecies foretold this. 11:03 Point number two, Jesus's after death appearances, all the 11:09 different times that He appeared after He died. 11:13 According to the apostle Paul's letters, as well as the four 11:16 gospel accounts, Jesus appeared alive after His death on 11:20 numerous occasions in diverse and varied ways. 11:23 They saw Him in the Upper Room, they saw Him on the Mount of 11:27 Olives, they saw him fishing at the Sea of Galilee. 11:30 They saw Him walking between Jerusalem and Emmaus, and many 11:33 other occasions that are not even recorded. 11:36 It says over a period of 40 days He appeared. 11:39 Now look at how Paul describes this in 1 Corinthians chapter 11:42 15, verse 3, and I think you're going to see this on the screen. 11:46 1 Corinthians 15, verses 3 through 8, "For I delivered to 11:50 you first of all that which I also received: that Jesus Christ 11:55 died for our sins according to the scriptures, and that He was 11:58 buried, and that He rose again the third day according to 12:02 the scriptures." 12:03 Notice he says, according to the scriptures, this is what it said 12:05 was going to happen. 12:07 "And that He was seen by Cephas." 12:08 Cephas is one of the names for Peter, same name, "then by 12:12 the twelve." 12:14 Notice 12, speaking those who are of the team of 12 apostles. 12:19 "After that he was seen by over five hundred brethren at once." 12:25 Now, friends, if I came, you know, running in the room here 12:28 and I said, oh, you won't believe it. 12:30 I just talked to Gabriel. 12:32 You say, you talk to Gabriel? 12:34 Yeah, Gabriel, the angel. 12:35 You sure? 12:37 Yeah, I saw this shadow and then I heard this voice, and I'm sure 12:40 it was Gabriel. 12:41 You'd go... 12:43 Well, four people come in and say we just saw Gabriel. 12:47 They say, well, still they maybe all had the same hallucination. 12:52 But if we all came in and we said, we saw Gabriel and we 12:54 touched him, then you say, what? 12:59 Then if we all came here, we said, we saw him, he spoke to 13:02 us, we spoke to him, we touched him, and we ate together. 13:07 If people don't believe that, what evidence would you accept? 13:13 What did Jesus have to do after the Resurrection to prove He 13:16 was real? 13:18 What would you accept? 13:19 If you won't accept that He walked, and He talked, and He 13:21 ate, and He appeared to them, and they could touch Him. 13:25 He wasn't a phantom, and this is not one or two people. 13:29 This is hundreds of people that saw Him. 13:33 I would think that's pretty compelling. 13:35 Then it says He was also seen, the greater part, let me see, 13:39 "After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, 13:42 of whom the greater part remain to the present." 13:44 He said, when Paul writes this, he say many are still alive. 13:46 If you want living witnesses, he's writing to the church in 13:49 Corinth, "but some have fallen asleep," some have died. 13:52 "After that He was seen by James." 13:54 This is James, the brother of Jesus who ends up becoming a 13:58 leader of the church. 13:59 Jesus especially appeared to His brother because you know, the 14:02 Bible says, even His brethren did not believe, so He appeared. 14:10 The other reason I believe, point three, the short time 14:14 frame between the events and the actual eyewitness claims. 14:18 Now, so many people, when they tell a fantastic story, the 14:21 story is written years later. 14:23 It's like, you know, they say the city of Rome was founded by 14:26 Romulus and Remus who were nursed by a wolf. 14:31 And this legend is written, you know, hundreds of years after 14:34 they had all been dead and gone, and they just make up, you know, 14:36 it's as true as Hercules or anything else. 14:39 There's all kinds of interesting stories. 14:40 When you read "Homer's Odyssey," you wonder how much about the 14:44 battle of Troy and the Trojan Horse, how much of that is true. 14:47 Were there really sirens on the island calling the men into 14:50 the rocks? 14:51 Was there really a cyclops with one eye? 14:53 Was there really a Medusa with snakes coming out of its head? 14:56 I mean, because of some of the things in Greek mythology and 14:59 these things they say, how can that be true? 15:01 But the Bible is written very differently. 15:04 The Bible gives a lot of very accurate accounts of history, 15:09 and events of empires, and customs of the day in 15:12 great detail. 15:14 And it not only talks about the good things the heroes do, it 15:18 talks about their embarrassing failures. 15:21 It is one of the most objective books of history that you could 15:24 ever read, where the other ones, you know, they always make the 15:27 hero out to be this almost a divine champion that is 15:31 beyond reality. 15:33 But it'll tell you about King David killing Goliath, and it'll 15:36 tell you about David and Bathsheba. 15:40 There's a short time frame for the Bible. 15:43 You know that the first history of Alexander the Great was 15:48 written by Theodora Silas 300 years after Alexander was dead. 15:55 Now today, you know, when we're writing about Christopher 15:58 Columbus, we can't get our heads together about what to think 16:01 about him, because after hundreds of years go by, you 16:05 just don't have that many documents. 16:07 Nobody ever questions Alexander the Great, even though the first 16:12 history was written 300 years after he was dead. 16:16 One of the most compelling points I've got listed as point 16:20 number four is the sincerity of the witnesses. 16:26 They absolutely believed what they were saying because they 16:32 put their lives literally on the line. 16:34 Most of the apostles died of unnatural causes, generally from 16:39 persecution because they were preaching and teaching the 16:42 Resurrection of Jesus, they had seen it. 16:45 They were totally unafraid of death because they knew death 16:48 had no fear for them, because Jesus rose and it should have no 16:51 fear for you, because Jesus rose. 16:55 They had absolute confidence. 16:57 Peter, at first, he was so afraid there in the trial 17:02 of Christ, he denies Jesus, but after the Resurrection, when 17:04 they threatened Peter, he said, "You decide whether I ought to 17:08 obey God or you." 17:10 And they continued preaching about Jesus even though they 17:12 were whipped and flogged for doing it. 17:16 So you look in the first century, the gospel, it takes 17:20 off like a cannon shot. 17:23 It goes from no Christians to covering the Roman Empire. 17:28 Why? 17:29 How could they do that so quickly? 17:31 Because they believed what they were preaching was true. 17:36 They put their lives, I mean, you know, some people will make 17:40 up stories and deceive, but how many of you would be willing to 17:43 die for something you knew to be a lie? 17:47 So they were absolutely sincere. 17:50 Then you've got the extra-biblical accounts. 17:52 It's not just the Bible talking about this. 17:55 There are historians outside of the Bible that talk about it. 17:59 You got Christians and non-Christians, believers and 18:03 unbelievers, and they admit it, not only in the New Testament, 18:08 you got Tacitus, he was a Roman historian that had nothing good 18:12 to say about Christians, but he acknowledged Jesus, he 18:15 acknowledged that Jesus was crucified. 18:17 He says Jesus was crucified by Pilate, he was a historian 18:20 during the time of Emperor Tiberius. 18:24 You've got Josephus, Lucian, the Clement of Rome, Ignatius, 18:30 Polycarp, Barnabas, Justin Martyr, et cetera. 18:33 They're all living outside of the Bible. 18:34 They're all recent reports. 18:37 Many of them contemporaries with those who witnessed it and 18:41 they talk about the events as though they're absolute history. 18:45 You know, friends, if you're going to believe anything you 18:47 ever read in history, you're not going to find more in ancient 18:52 history than you're going to find on the Resurrection of 18:55 Jesus in the times of Jesus. 18:56 There is a reason that history today is dated from his birth. 19:01 The other reason I believe is, it is a central pivotal teaching 19:06 throughout the New Testament. 19:09 The teaching of Jesus rising is really the axle on which the 19:14 gospel rotates. 19:17 Acts chapter 2, as soon as the Holy Spirit poured out, what 19:20 does Peter say? 19:21 Acts chapter 2, verse 23. 19:23 "Him being delivered by the determined purpose and 19:26 foreknowledge of God, you have taken by lawless hands and have 19:29 crucified and put to death, put to death, whom God raised up 19:35 having loosed the pains of death, because it was not 19:37 possible that He should be held by it." 19:40 Paul Acts 17, verse 2, "Then Paul as his custom was," what 19:44 did Paul do as a regular custom? 19:46 "He went into them and three Sabbaths, he reasoned to them 19:49 from the scriptures, explaining and demonstrating that the 19:53 Christ had to suffer, rise again from the dead." 19:56 Paul is explaining from the scriptures, not the New 19:59 Testament, that the Messiah would rise from the dead. 20:03 "This Jesus whom I preach to you is the Christ." 20:08 Paul would have had nothing to gain by doing that. 20:10 And on many occasions, he got stoned because to say that Jesus 20:14 could rise from the dead was putting them on a level 20:16 with God. 20:18 They called that blasphemy. 20:19 Acts 5:29, "But Peter and the other apostles answered and 20:23 said, 'We ought to obey God rather than men. 20:26 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus who you murdered by 20:30 hanging on a tree.'" 20:31 The whole message, the punctuation, the exclamation 20:35 mark that Jesus makes on everything else He said earlier 20:38 is that He would rise from the dead. 20:40 If you wondered if He was the Son of God, 20:43 He said, well, I'll prove it. 20:46 He said, "I lay down my life and I take it up again." 20:49 I mean, you got to be pretty powerful to raise yourself. 20:52 Wouldn't you say? 20:55 And then of course, point number seven, the empty grave. 21:00 I think that is actually a point. 21:02 They went to the grave. 21:04 They had put His body in the grave. 21:06 You got all these gospel testimonies, they laid Him in 21:08 the grave. 21:10 He was dead. 21:11 Tells where the grave came from. 21:12 Tells how the body got to the grave. 21:14 Joseph of Arimathea, who was one of the Sanhedrin that did not 21:16 support the decision, he was not invited to the kangaroo court 21:20 when they convicted Jesus. 21:21 He went and begged the body of Jesus from Pilate. 21:25 Once it was confirmed He was dead, he was given the body, he 21:28 and Nicodemus worked together to buy the ointment. 21:31 They delivered the project to the women who oversaw the 21:34 wrapping of His body. 21:35 I mean, they're wrapping His dead body. 21:37 He would have suffocated if he was just in a coma. 21:39 They wrapped up his head, the empty grave. 21:42 Well, they could have snuck his body away. 21:44 You know, the Roman soldiers were later paid to say that they 21:46 stole the body away. 21:48 But really, I mean, can you picture the apostles, the guards 21:53 there around the tomb? 21:55 They quietly tipped over over these Roman soldiers that are 21:58 all snoring so heavily, they don't hear them wrestling this 22:01 stone aside from the tomb and they don't wake them up. 22:06 They all sleep through it. 22:08 And a Roman soldier, if it loses its charge, they lose 22:11 their life. 22:13 That's why they said the soldiers were afraid, and the 22:15 priest said we'll pay Pilate if it comes to his ears. 22:18 Don't worry. 22:20 We'll pay you, we'll cover it. 22:22 And that's how they got that false testimony. 22:23 But you know what? 22:25 I think some of the soldiers couldn't keep it to themselves. 22:26 They said, yeah, we got paid. But yeah, we saw the angels. 22:29 How could you forget that? What evidence would you accept? 22:33 Some people just refuse to believe. 22:35 The seed falls on the stony ground and they just don't 22:38 realize that there is evidence for your faith. 22:43 I remember reading a story about a missionary in Brazil, and he 22:49 was working with this remote tribe in the Amazon, and many of 22:54 them were struggling with illness, and they had a clinic 22:57 not too far away from this river, but they would not cross 23:01 the river, because-- and it's not 23:02 that they were afraid of rivers. 23:04 They crossed many rivers, but this one river that went between 23:06 them and where the clinic was, they believed it was filled with 23:09 evil spirits. 23:11 And a plague started going through the whole tribe and many 23:15 were dying. 23:16 And the missionary begged them to follow him across the river 23:19 and he said all will be well. 23:22 He said you go to the hospital, they'll give you medicine. 23:24 They said we can't go in there, there's evil spirits. 23:25 And so the missionary went down by the edge of the river and he 23:28 put his feet in the river. 23:29 They said, look nothing's happening to me come. 23:32 They said no, no, no, no. 23:34 And he got down knee deep and he splashed in the water and they 23:37 looked at him waiting for something bad to happen to him. 23:40 And he said, you can make it. 23:42 And they said no, evil spirits. 23:44 Finally, he realized his only hope was he dove in the river, 23:49 he's a good swimmer, he disappeared, and he swam as far 23:54 as he could underwater and he came up on the other side, and 23:57 then he waved at them and they all jumped on the shore and they 24:01 cheered, and they were then willing when they saw that he 24:04 had gone across to the other side to take the plunge 24:07 of faith. 24:08 Now, we have someone that has gone before us, and he came up 24:12 alive on the other side. 24:14 This life is not it. 24:16 This life is preparation for the life that really matters. 24:20 Death is not the end for the Christian. 24:22 Because He lives, we can live a new life then, but we can live a 24:27 new life now because of the Resurrection. 24:29 That same power and Spirit that brought Him back to life can 24:33 change your heart. 24:35 It can give you a new heart. 24:37 It can give you victory over your sins and the devil, just 24:40 like it gave victory to Jesus over death. 24:44 If you believe, all things are possible. 24:51 Doug: The Bible never says that Eve ate an apple, nor does it 24:55 say that three wise men came to see Jesus in the manger. 24:59 Neither does the Bible say that God made a devil. 25:02 So how well do you know your Bible?
