Abbie, thank you so much for agreeing to share with us
Now Abbie, you grew up in a Christian family
and so you've trusted in Jesus from an early age but before you came to uni
you had a bit of a scare, why don't you tell us a bit about that?
So when I was 17
I was doing my A-Levels and and my auntie came to visit one weekend
and she noticed that I had a lump on my neck and so went through
lots of hospital appointments and checkups and countless
hospital appointments to find out that I had thyroid cancer
so I went through treatment for this
operations and radio therapy and
and through all of this I was sitting my A-levels and
was quite a stress And now, when I was talking to you earlier you mentioned that during that
you had a real sense of
peace and what was it about your faith that gave you that sense of
peace do you think, what was it about God?
I think it was just the fact that I knew that
God loved me and had a plan for my life
and knowing that I was able to
just focus on that and rather than being scared
and a family friend of mine gave me a Bible verse that she felt
that God had given to her which was Jeremiah 30 verse 17
which said "and as for you, I come with healing, curing the incurable"
and that really spoke to me and it just
gave me hope that God had a plan for me and whatever happened that he was with me
that he was with me through all of it and I didn't need to worry about it
so that was during your A-levels and what what happenned
since then? So, I continued treatment
while sitting my exams and the week
before I was due to come to Durham, I was told that they'd let me come
so I had my first year here at Durham
and I've been so blessed to be able to come here and to make
the friends I've made and get settled into to a really great church
just yeah had a great time and then I had
last summer I had to go back in for more radio therapy treatment
God's just been with me through it all so much
and just been a real source of peace and strength through all of it
and yeah, I've just really had courage and peace through that
Praise God, well we're so glad to have you with us thank you so much
for coming up Abbie.
Good evening, thank you so much for coming and hopefully
the next few minutes will go without technical hitch. Although I do as a Christian
believe that God's in charge of everything that happens in this world so
I guess there's some reason God didn't want us to hear the sound, maybe that's
a kind of ironic point to the question why did Jesus die
we are confused and dumbfounded, at least that's the way it's come across
this evening or at least to another question perhaps we're confused not so much
why did Jesus die but why do Christians
celebrate Jesus death that really is a puzzling thing and tomorrow
is a certain day in some of your calendars
February the 14th, maybe not too late to remind you
Valentine's Day, and can I suggest that you still come here what could be a
better date night
than to invite your date to hear about how they can have life after death
I think that would score pretty highly and still time for a romantic meal perhaps at
lunch time when the restaurants aren't
booked out. But one thing I really wouldn't advise for tomorrow evening
is to go to a jeweler's shop
and ask for the following. Let's imagine you you really loved this
boy or girl and you decide to splash out you're gonna get a bespoke
piece of jewellery made
from the goldsmith so you go into the jeweller's shop and you say well I want something
very special for my special someone
and was just wondering whether
you could do for me some little
electric chair cufflinks, would look quite fetching
you know with the rest of his outfit I think it would look great, so just some little torture chairs
you know. on the back so he could put them on his dress shirt
all may be going to Joe's is say look I want something special four have may say
when is she getting a necklace with it at all hangman's noose
at the bottom I think that would be I mean next on Valentine's Day haven't
really
the mini vans has days at dates in my time but I can suggest she
this wouldn't be good me forwards getting this much call for those kinda
things
in the jewellery shops have dough so how we'd then that perhaps not about I stay
but for
some present growing up quite a lot of he might have been given jewelry
with a cross on it celebrating an execution
how strange at
why did Jesus die and even more whitley why to questions
celebrates Jesus death say much will aspect the question I hope to answer
this evening and I try not to it from
John's Gospel all the way through this week we've been plenty to this but this
is one of the first century
all I witness accounts for the life of Jesus written by a man called John he
was a fisherman
he got convince through his personal encounter with Jesus
that he had met the creator of the universe and you can read in this page
is the evidence that persuaded him
and that he hopes will persuade us please take it away
please read her if you haven't done already but this is a book for the
evidence
that persuades us that Jesus must be gold now let me tell you I didn't always
think now I live to
University as I said as a scientist I'm and Sam
I was pretty skeptical about Christianity I'm very sad the things in
this but made me think again
wanna things that make me think game with america holes
of Jesus I talked a bit about they sat yesterday and things up people's soul
that even for people in at Capri scientific a
she didn't know as much as we do about the symbology which surely very
significant
yesterday we look to the claimant a blind man who's blind from birth
he's friends US blind from birth his parents knew who is trying to impress
to encounter Jesus and went away seeing extraordinary miracle eyewitness Merkel
and you don't need to nine modern at understanding of the mall a G
tonight this cannot happen ordinarily
and this book is full of have many such miracles of Jesus but
here's a chapter in which Jesus doesn't do anything a miraculous
he dies in agony and yet here is a chapter
even as Jesus dies that gives us incredible evidence
that he must be God's and the evidence comes to the fact that Jesus death was
plans Jesus death happened in fulfillment
up ancient prophecies and go ted said many many hundreds of years in fact
even more than a thousand years before Jesus
that his death would take place in certain ways and it happened exactly as
he said I wonder if you notice as we had that reading that phrase
this happened that the scripture might be four failed three times we have that
phrase in our reading
this happened that the scripture that means the ancient prophecies
might be fulfilled Jesus death was predicting H
and to get predictions rights is pretty impressive in fact I'm gonna get
protection lights
I'm right now say I am on a blunt pics random
and I think you're pretty cynical I'm trusting bunch
and you probably think up on a stage so I wanted to to prove to you I'm getting
some actually random
Height's rent 18 a weakening do it by kindest I
a knockout game is what paper scissors say at 10 tonight best
I one standout place
II a 1-2-3 in the Jetta neighbor and a few days she set down a que se
one see 3 go
i can't. lost sit down
okay now everyone a stunning up ten to somebody who's still standing up
and the same thing one c3 guy
they sat down and so on
your selected in Thailand I did I can fight that and all you have to do is
just cheese one of these three sites we have a
a circle ish we have a triangle oh we have a condo
square that was made into sky in a hurry a que se
base would you pick one up the straight
the Circo well and that is actually incredible that he chases cycle because
I
a few its at just 10 behind G its
you see that is exactly what I predicted thanks so much
and how did I do that I wonder incredible protection a course
of course had to chose in the Triangle
weeks underneath your
at your seats absolutely amazing
she AC's is not that difficult to fight predictions like that is it
I'm at such as saying except that the predictions that the Bible
all not quite the same as the kind of cheap magic trick that I've just played
on you
at the prediction the Bible all I'm all made in advance
you may have noticed me Justin unfurling the circle just as he turned round rates
may be suspicious
I didn't want that the beginning of that up the meeting case only twice a big
section about
make and then she says the triangle he would have gone wrong ceaser it will lie
to me revealing a off to its best
the talks in the Bible well what I'm published on well-known
long long in advance if that we can occur at she promises today one about a
thousand years before Jesus
1 I'm about 1,400 years before Jesus
and they were no June and well known by all of the jewish people
to him Jesus was at was first revealed the monks him Jesus
at lives it was published in advance
it was specific we can look at predictions that a quite specific
not as vague generalities about the he might die one day
but exactly how he will die what will happen when he dies
I'm and we can look at promises though I would suggest you are
um breakable by Jesus or his disciples
simply because their fulfillment was outside if Jesus control
and outside the control of his followers were the three tre to see
as he dies and you see the first one is there
I'm on page 54 please look at it again if you've placed your butt
on page 54
and verse at twenty
3 when the soldiers crucified Jesus they take his clothes dividing them into four
shares one treats
them with the undergarment remaining this.com was seen this wave in one piece
and top to bottom
let's not tear it they said to each other less decide by lots who guesses
this happened that the scripture might be fulfilled which said
they divided my government's among them and cost lots my craving
say this is what the soldiers did it just in central data that is net because
for the soldiers I guess
Chris evictions were kinda retain its just what they did for a job
pretty grim job being a big and undertake is one thing being executioner
a pretty good job but it was in a day's work for them I guess what are the perks
of the job was that
you at the end of the day he got to share out the stuff that that the the
dead man
had left behind maybe a gold ring here 20 could be lucky
and take the home and maybe a an Omani see their
and then Jesus case he's wearing a and under da mat that is in one piece
as I think we're sorry to the democratic thing and tear into four but you know a
quarter and undergone is not worth much
was the whole thing way vernon fine and its pretty good
that pretty good catch for a day's work so they they just sacked twice and ice
just a random decision
by the pretty much in different execution is
a man that they don't knife from Adam
but it turns out that this is exactly what was predicted
around a thousand years before hand in one other
the songs of the is a light some 22:08
some 22 I'm says this
they divide my government's among them
and for my clothing they cost lots
quest to civic it was well known in advance
and very difficult for the questions T fake
the soldiers went disciples they weren't any fans have jesus's
just in a day's work but exactly escort had predicted
you see the second prophecy is fulfilled at the amid love page 55 points s
at that the death of Jesus later known as all
always now completed and say that the scripture be fulfilled jesus said
I'm thirsty a job wine vinegar was there so they say to sponge in it but a sponge
us talk about his supplant
and lifted Jesus let's well you might say well here's an example of something
that Jesus clearly did strike
because he knew that there was a proxy about being thirsty
and so he says I'm thirsty just said that I N
except that is what the prophecy says
will it take another one of the songs in the the is right a song but can the
samsung 69
and it says this they gave me poison for feed
and for my first they gave me vinegar
to drink see Jesus was thirsty
but he could never for up
costs the callous onlookers for farm
to think he's he's thirsty he's doing let's give him the ***
as a kind of cruel twist he's a drink he says this were fresh tea
and is vinegar but to give a *** was exactly what had been predicted
a thousand years beforehand it fulfills the Scriptures
and then the final one I'm down further down on page
55 and vest that 31
because the G's didn't want the bodies left on the cross is DJing the Sabbath
they all squalid to have the black spray can and the bodies taken down
I said the other day that one other things is to put me off I
Christianity in religion as a teenager was hypocrisy I hated hypocrisy
in religious people and if you hate it you in good company because Jesus hates
that tape here's an example
of the worst kind of hypocrisy I'm here people being ever so
religious on their on their religious holy day the Saturday the Sabbath and
say they're prepared to *** someone on a trumped-up charge
but they don't want the indignity of having to have emerged person around on
the Dead Space be wholly
say kill someone Friday and clean title roxie can be all religious on Saturday
just the pieces appalling hypocrisy but I am
the Sabbath the the jewish sabbath team a nice starts at night for a Friday
cheese is executed on Friday
and so they say look crucifixion takes a long time
would you mind Rehman governor pilots taking the bodies down early
and break the legs instead kill them off that way so that they too I
sauce then we can be all religious in the morning
say the soldiers came first ATT break a leg to the first man he be increased by
with him they said the other
but when they came to G's and found he was already dead they didn't break is
next
instead one other soldiers PS Jesus I B the spear bring a sudden-death playoff
drought and water
now I'm again we and we touched on this the other day agent went just to this
facts of the Gospels that Jesus
wasn't killed in the way or the other say that works he did with him
but I he was already dead and so they verify that they want to be acting so he
was dead
but there's not much but lexibase trust a spear in and Jonah course a fact that
would have been meaningless and his NJ
I'm such was the the knowledge of medical matters
but quite significant all day because we now know that the flow of blood and
water
I'm base blood and water coming out separately from somebody
that must mean that the pericardial sac around the house has been ruptured
therefore certain evidence of debt: but John LaCorte it without that medical
knowledge
just presumably because that's what he saw as my witness
but again chest is incidental detail he's already dead let's not bother
let's just check is dead sperian and yet
again at this happen said that the scripts you'll be fulfilled not one of
his pains
will be broken or suggest that these three provinces we've seen for coding
Jesus thats
with specific they were well known in advance
and they were all full fell to the actions of Jesus
opponents at nay disciples amongst the soldiers as far as we night
I'm certainly Nate no at followers among states he callously offer 10 vinegar
to drink I'm just in a day's work just as part of the sport's
watching a layman execution and yeah it's
it was predicted I think this is one apiece evidence for Jesus we often miss
as known geez there may be some Jewish people here in which case if you know
your scriptures well this week by significant re
but for me as a as a non je this is never even occurred to me
as a as a on the evidence to the miracles that interested me
but as I became aware of these promises I thought that was pretty significance
in terms of showing that Jesus died according to plans
which only God could have bought about
the actions a soldier's actions with *** the circumstances of his death
I suggest see that that is serious evidence
that Jesus is someone that we need to take
seriously and yet
actually raises almost more questions than it on sis
because it is planned why did God planned this
if there is a God he made the world he you actually can control history in the
circumstances
history why did he control history to do this
in particular to have his some executed
at this point I know ask only whether he might tennis greenbacks minute later
anything and hopefully when strategy am
why was it that Jesus died and
in this way well actually we get the onset by looking at the prophecies that
whistle sales
and seeing what they meant in their original context because Robin just
picking
verses at random you know here's a verse about someone's at clothing being
auctions is a verse about I'm someone being given vinegar
actually these promises are drawn from specific contexts
that explain not only that the got the Lord king would suffer but something
about him
so some twenty today that's the prophecy that says
and at they cost lots my clothing that was a song
written by the greatest advocating
of Israel King David's became the older geez look back to as the glory days if
Israel
and he described the time in his life when it it seems like gold was a long
long way away from him
coded turned his back on him and he begins the song this way may be
recognized the words my God my God why P forsaken me
whyy safe off to save me from the words have migraine
is a song about the greatest ever King
going through a period of suffering
and it contains various extraordinary profits is that lie not with exactly
what happened to Jesus we looked at the clothing be ok today also contains this
long
I'm accompany a feeble do is in circles me they have pierced
my hands and my feet and the summer talks about translation it snow in the
at the original Hebrew manuscript but it is the translation about up in early
Greek manuscript translation of the Hebrew
again published long before Jesus time
they have ps2 they have dog my hands my feet which sounds with hindsight very
likely specks in
how can the author lighting around a thousand BC thats
at least four hundred years before Chris picture was even invented
have foresee no perceived thats the he is a significant thing
this was a song written by the King
by someone everybody knew every she would know King David the greatest ever
King
and he read these words see his thing when she's is dying in agony on across
he doesn't look very much like a king
Devon if you seen the film at the iron lady.
and the film but margaret thatcher and those at on the cinemas a
a few a few years ago I want to say with friends and and a is quite controversial
film
because I see the film opens with the a totally old lady
I'm trying to cross a road shuffling across a right to embrace uncertainly
I'm going into a corner shop it's a cost cuts or something
and buying some milk being a bit confused about how much it cost to add
comment don't bring back
to hand nursing home
and you can discover the beginning the film out that it's actually at margaret
thatcher
at the idea that is to its color picture not attach in her later years without i
misss
and to contrast it with her gray is a power the Falklands War the an
anglo-american relationship
and the film at the filmmakers kinda saying to us she doesn't that much like
a million now does she is a kind a clever play on words
and you might say the same about she's accepting his case
he's not even got to the states are being out to be the market that two
things
he's not even yet become that the King every so he's not yet yet any
let any kind of political revelation even before his political career can get
going
he dies in agony on across he doesn't look very much
like a king worth taking seriously
actually a you may know that the crucifixion of Jesus
was wanna be barriers to the spread the Christian message
in the first few centuries I'm
Jewish people in particular I'm he believed that
and that anyone he was dying on a cross Ohana tree
was a gun undergoes cursed just could not believe
that she's could be the Messiah if he died in this way
we know for an early I'm second century Tech scored a dialogue with try for the
G
that this was absolutely the sticking point for many G's coming to faith how
could the Messiah
die in such shame at the Greeks thought it was ridiculous because Greeks
believed him power
and look for great leaders he could demonstrate that a bit like the color
am that may p10 kinda style leader in here please
appears as set this every Christmas on horseback in -20
just to sell his is a can how a powerful he is the Greeks look for that kinda
pleader
how could this possibly be a leader with following if he died like this
and you may know that there was a piece of graffiti discovered
and in Rome in 1857 it was found as they were excavating
the a boarding school of the Emperor Caligula
they found a piece of graffiti dating from the 3rd century
showing a man with a donkeys ahead
I'm dying on a cross and another man kneeling before him
with the inscription out examine aus worships he's got
another was mocking the early Christians how ridiculous
to worship someone who died in this stupid way
and so they given that the dying man had a donkey just to say the mockery
and yet babies who united the prophecies
should think again he looks weak
looks like a neighbor T but if you've done your reading
you know you that gold's mace famous epic King
experience something very very like this
they've pierced my hands and my feet they costs lots my clay them I got my
coat
wifey forsake me and you should be thinking
Hannah minutes this looks very like what gore said about his king
doesn't like a king maybe he actually is the king
long-promised long-expected the Messiah
when you start a question have you ate we have already result anything safe
always seen its
Jesus diets but it was plants I'm Jesus died but it was what gore said about his
king what he's came with J
but you still have questions cuz you think why would God let his Qingdao I
what's the point of being a great king
and then dying well that's the puzzle that
of final prophecy souls for us soldiers came to break the lead to the first man
have increased by which Jesus then the base the upper
when they came to Jesus they found he was already dead they didn't break his
legs
in said one other soldiers pierced he's a sub the spear
bring a sudden flat bottom water and then
john gets very excited about this the man he saw it has given test in his test
Main Street in AZ tells the truth he tells you this study may be believed
why so exciting about not having a painstaking being killed with a spear
instead
these things happen say the scripture be fulfilled not one of his bangs
will be breaking but that's a scripture that comes from the convexity this
and it comes from at the instructions given for the jewish
pa cyber this is the last best background I need to give you T
but it'll be very significant for understanding the death of Jesus you'd
notice as we had the reading
that Jesus died at cost saver time
Easter in our counter if you're jewish person it's a posse over
in your calendar and the possible that she celebrated for
a hundred a hundred years and steady today in fats
was a celebration of Coach rescue you about 1400 BC
when the satellites were slaves in Egypt
you may nay that the story Macy's am said to the fair let my people guy
and ferry said no way into their busy am doing forced labor for me and making me
famous for having some other one is the world's and safeguards had to send on
Feb press play

I'm behind a few the elder son in your family
I make a pretty big impact with me on this community midnight's
always in the morning debt
but I'm actually called gave instructions for his people the
satellites
I've how they could as scapegoats judgment when it fell
he said this we need to do you need to have a meal that night as race lamb
annual to slaughter the Lamma at Twilight's I'm guessing the blood of the
Lamb and painted on the door frames have your house it's
she gets in but he spotted on that the outsides and then he says when midnight
comes in my judgment come see the land when I see the blood
I would Hossain by a the houses where you are
and said became known as the paw saber because judge because judgment passed
over
the houses that were covered with the bloods other lamb
now and we've had one kinda gimmicky illustration for the season with my
predictions things are not ready another once
not tell you about another when I was expecting a response to a question you
scrape
and I decided I'd reenact the Passover at using a fluffy toy
site and i got a toy and the key so I could find
and a massive knife and a bottle of ketchup
and myself to speak at this house party and M I was just driving Pasig James's
Palace in London
and for the first 90 time I like I was stopped by the police
I'm on a random check you know they can to stop and search just by the palace
season said would you please get out the car and I was thinking in my beats
there is the there's nothing at all apart from I
a soft toy and the biggest carving not like if i misses like massive
bought it from a picture I thought this is gonna be difficult to explain what do
you do for a living
I'm a Christian minister is not gonna go well I'm so I had that on the night
you know it when they came they actually didn't contribute boycotts amazing
Providence
and I gotta these great in time and you know we
we did it we have the toy and then I and they expect me to gonna say it might
look a bit like this but in fact I
actually cut the toy and in knots basis which caused all the girls to gospel and
all the boys to gate
cool that's just teenagers for you and then we got some at
try to catch up and I had book is a separate issue its
I we square today labor the doors at the check your place was great fun
and said I and so I tried to get off late in the evening a Tesla is quite
sticky for some time off to its a apologist
publicly issues with a fun just gonna get no idea across
blood on the door means that you're safer midnight's
but a course when it happened in Israel's history
it wasn't just a bit of fun for youth group it was pretty serious
just imagine you in his life family and following
goats instructions your dad's brings a lamb Beisel am at the at the markets
I'm brings it to live with GE for several days
state the kids love it they give a pet name shown was in motion comic perhaps
and say becomes part the family
and I guess for the 14th to the month and dad gets out the
the big knife and tells should go to bed
white that is early negate to bed now children caps Tess
and then dad showed dig up says but appear on the corner and they see daddy
shopping the night in taking shown by the scruff of the neck
and about to slit his throat and then I can imagine a tantrum in the fam
do what are you doing to show won't tell you you don't have to select a USB
and daddy come to children's down and explains to them
if I don't kill Suren your brother will be debt
at midnight
gonna say bring things in and a picture in the family
at something very very very serious
court's judgment is coming
gordy's angry with the way that we have treated him rejected him push demands
up our lives have been saying in their the last few evenings that is if we say
two goats
of two he's given a separate thing that we enjoy
thanks thanks my life my friends and my
family thanks my life daren taxes people play sex my degree bet
nice thanks to knowing the
I got angry about thats and goes judgment is coming
at Midnight's you will die unless
you kill a lamb you but the blood of the Lamb on the door pace a few houses
and then when the day of judgment comes
I will parse over the houses where you are the possible
well I'm this happens at about 3,400 he is gay
but every single year give or take with the fee poses
and and couple times in the history but pretty much every year
after that jewish families every Easter have celebrated the posse
to remember court rescued us he saved us
waters out of slavery in Egypt forest to know him
as all courts I'm delivered us from his judgment and spared us at Midnight's
so we could live every year they were doing that and
in Jesus day they were doing that Jesus celebrate the possum is going out with
his family justice or other Jewish households did
and yes he dies on the cross
King somehow dying looking weak looking shameful why would a plan that's
John a court Russell incidental detail
soldiers so who's only debt I didn't bother to break the base just us two
spirit just to check
outcry came blood in water separated
and John Percy says significance this app is that possible time
and it fulfils instruction that was given about the sacrifice a place lands
back in the O
Jewish Scriptures concerning the possible I'm it was written
don't break any Brisbane's
is to be a perfect I'm blemished sacrifice
and John saw this anybody 20 together
in his mind and he realizes why
goat would plan even for his cane
to die in this way Jesus
is dying no-name weakness
but in incredible purposeful love
for his people last night we saw Jesus say I am The Good Shepherd
the good shepherd lays down his life for the sheik deliberately
he dies why say that his death might be a sacrifice
in place a bounce and a cause if you understand the possible a
story and you know exactly what he saying court's judgments coming were in
danger
and we face cause anger because the way we've treated him
and there's nothing that we can do yourself to kinda under EU
the pasts you can scrub ourselves up enough we caught
do enough for religious works become I do enough by religious services
to come to somehow tip the scales in your favor we've played in it with goat
and we're in trouble and cause judgment is coming says Jesus
yet in his extraordinary level of court sent his one and only Son to die instead
as a sacrifice like the possible am in fact johnnie been calls Jesus
might at the start is because the first turns up the lamb of God's
he takes away the sin at the world's Jesus dies as a sacrifice
said that by his death he might be spanked heads
from judgment if you trust in him
now that
raises a question for us today just as it raised a question about three
thousand four hundred years ago
every Jewish family as he went to bed that night was anyone question the
matter its
know what you gonna do about Wednesday know all you heading for first in order
to finish your essay not did she say yes
anyone question actually matters to which was daddy did you but the blood on
the door
imagine every teenage boy checked are you safe tonight
when cause judge incomes it was a simple thing to be safe
you just have to trust in the solution that go to given a sacrifice
instead if the well as set forth the property today
and of the same question if you were to die tonight's
and face go to a judge would she be safe
if Jesus were to come back tonight in colour and then to history as one day
he said he well says judgment day today which he be safe on that day so very
simple thing to be say
just to trust in the death of the sacrifice
he died on your behalf of so I need to ask each one of you today
on he say I'm happy recognized the serious situation the UN
judgment coming have you considered the amazing sacrifice made for you by Jesus
because he's so lofty I'm wanted too risky
and half year appropriated
that setback pesky for yourself happy said to Jesus yes please
I wanna trust G I wanna for you is my king
I wanna trust you as my rescue well
as I said last night people be a very stages I guess tonight in their
consideration of these things we can imagine ourselves our spectra maybe
I've where we stand with thinking about Jesus to be some here
perhaps you've just never heard anything like this before in which case thank you
for coming
I'm filthy opportunity to 28 from witty the page this perk
and say somebody extraordinary things about Jesus but I much equal thinking to
Daytona
lush anyone into a decision without thinking properly that's the last thing
she's with wants
because I G please T now begin thinking really quite seriously
about the claims of this but the things that jesus said tonights
of pretty significant role of features if their tree
second I G to take it really seriously here are a few things that you might
need to be the I've been suggesting to people
that you tryin read the whole display I just looked at one chapter chapter 19
I suggest you read the whole thing to make an informed decision
actually rather just reading it how about doing this kinda deal with the
Christian friends and
weakness suggests grab a question maybe some his body tonight's
or maybe someone in a red o.o blue hoodie if you can when UN
and say to them what you do to stay with me I ET chapters
you buy me a coffee K I think maybe after that
you eat each apt this perk and you gator and you protect against anything you
agree with
you but across against anything you disagree with and you underline anything
he understands
my table on T chapters and then you get a coffee about over coffee
he said can we get through I didn't I thought this was great I didn't like
this
I didn't understand this can you explain it to me and then the question can say
what they thought
and you work too and the naked if it works added you guys to have another
coffee I'll meet up to three influenza A K
I do the same thing and it doesn't let you leave it that no obligation
annual Maxim therefore this is 21 chapters even a maximum ten-and-a-half
copies
in your favorite coffee shop I think any Christian he'll be delighted
to do that with the please take it seriously like that am
but maybe other people here actually done a bit of thinking about this and
three this week perhaps
even coming to separate the talks or or maybe even longer period you nine
questions maybe read some this
maybe in talking to me about this and actually free easy things are starting
to fit into place
you looked at the evidence he think I think he's actually ease
gorge King I'm I think that he can only be
the creator of the universe and some the miracles that he dates
from the prophecies be fulfilled from the life
that he left I'm persuaded his Scott King
and you think I'm unpersuaded by his diagnosis I got a problem with goats
I said to could make banks and I serious
and I've realized that I call get myself out of that situation
by myself I'm stuck and i've understood the saving that Jesus is offering me
forgiveness free he's off from US key
he's offering that his death
will count instead of mine the his death will be like the blood at that time that
will mark me out on the judgment i say goes just ballparks
over me maybe the someone this evening he's thinking on on
on the basis based he thinks she's a sweetie is the king and he really did on
the cross the I could be forgiven
maybe some was thinking I would like to make a start with Jesus
this evening I think that co-owner
I'm say he might do that's I is actually very straightforward because God is here
his amongst us in a soft thoughts and you could begin that relationship with
God simply with a a practice by talking to goats
and meaning it's and you could begin to follow in the steps that Jesus
as one of his disciples and what about the from the on the screen height is
gonna work
am I let me read it 350
and then I'll pray and anyone who wants to could join me in praying to court
these words day God thank you for
opening my eyes to see that Jesus is the rightful king
of the universe please help me to follow him
as my king from now on thank you though he died on the cross to say from your
judgment all he trust him
I trust in his sacrifice for me
are men all you're doing is just a saying two things for the trip back he's
he's the king
and he is the savior and then you be putting yourself
into the picture and say oh I want to follow him as King
I want to trust him as Savior and then maybe someone here today he would like
to do this
and say artist respect those people who love us I think come by our heads
and I'm going to lead us in prayer and if if you do want to replace decade
these words in your heart
to your Creator who is listening
Day cards thank you for opening my eyes to see that Jesus is the rightful king
of the universe
please help me to follow him as my king
from now on thank you that he died on the cross to say from your judgment all
he trust him
I trust in his sacrifice for me
all men
