[00:00:04] So thank you anybody who's new here for the first time, anybody who's been coming a few times. And for everybody else, thank you for coming this morning. What an exciting day it is in the Christian calendar. I love Christmas. Christmas is great when Jesus is born. But there's just something about Easter. If you're a believer in Christ, Jesus is born. We have presents. Christmas is a wonderful time, but it's leading to today. The sole reason why Jesus was born was for Easter. And that was for you, and it was for me.
[00:00:36] So as much as I love Christmas, for me, Easter is the best. Good Friday, as we call it, wasn't very good for Jesus. He kind of got hung on a cross. More about that in a second. But it was really good for us. So tough for Jesus, but really good for us. And I'm not going to be long this morning. I just really want to briefly look at the Easter message. And if we've got the slide up, the simple title for this little message this morning is that it is finished.
[00:01:10] It is finished. So I want to start this little talk on that. I want to say at the start, it is finished. And then I want to end with, it is finished. What a great set of three words to the Christian believer.
[00:01:25] These are actually Jesus last words on the cross. Let me set the scene for you.
[00:01:31] So in John 19:28, 30, Jesus said, I am thirsty. I bet he was. He was hung on a cross. He'd been beaten. He'd walked through the streets with a cross on his back at one point. Couldn't bear it anymore. Somebody had to carry it for him. He'd been battered and bruised for something he'd never done wrong. Okay, just picture the scene there. He's fully God, yet fully man. He was born of a virgin. He was born of a virgin, but he was fully human and fully God. Right? He hung on a cross with nails in his hands, and he says, I am thirsty. And there was a jar of wine vinegar. Doesn't sound very tasty, that does it? I think you'd rather have a Ribena. There was a jar of wine vinegar. Was there. So they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of a hyssop plant and lifted it to Jesus lips.
[00:02:23] When he had received his drink, Jesus said, it is finished. And with that he bowed his head and he gave up his spirit. So that's the last words. Jesus said, it is finished. Maybe you're a guest this morning and you don't often go to church. Thank you for coming. If that's you.
[00:02:47] You might be sat there thinking, what the heck does it is finished mean, Phil? Well, I'm going to try and tell you.
[00:02:56] I want to run you this morning through the basics of why you might have seen a few of us jumping around, putting our hands in the air.
[00:03:03] Do you know what if Jesus is alive? Church.
[00:03:06] This is not to knock any other way of coming to church. What is the point? Sat there solemn? What do you think heaven's going to be like? Church? We might as well get up and sing and shout and jump around, say, yes, Lord, you died for me. Well, that's what the believer truly believes. That's why we get excited this morning. So if you've come this morning and you've seen a few of us jumping around, putting our hands in the air, singing songs, seeming to get passionate about who? Where is he? Who is he? What are you getting excited about? Well, more than ever, Jesus message still applies today. It might be 20, 25 years ago, but he is the meaning of life. The whole world revolved around him. So more than ever, when Jesus said it is finished, it didn't finish 20, 25 years ago, let me tell you. But before I do that, why do we go back to the start?
[00:03:59] Maybe you believe in a big bang. Maybe you do. Or maybe you believe that God created the world. That's the only two choices. All molecules came together and a world was created. Let me tell you, as a believer in Christ, if you believe in a big bang, I honestly reckon that takes more faith than believing in a creator God. Can you imagine a world with seas, rivers, oceans, mountains, people, animals? All that we have from two little atoms coming together? They were some atoms. So if you can actually believe, actually, maybe you're right, Phil. That's what happened for me in my story. I grew up in a Christian house and I went away from God when I was 16. But as I started getting to 22, 23, I'm thinking, how can there be a big bang? How can the world just came around from a bang?
[00:04:47] Wow. There must have been a creator God. God must have made the world. So if you can start there, then you can start right at the beginning. God made the world and then he made Adam and Eve. He made humans. He made me and you.
[00:05:01] Do you know what? Man did not sin when they were born. Adam and Eve came into the world and they did not sin.
[00:05:08] We're going to look at a fun fact of what they did do. Let's read it together in Genesis 3.
[00:05:17] God talking now, it says he answered I heard you in the garden. Sorry. No, this is Adam talking. Sorry. Adam said verse 10. I heard you in the garden. And I was afraid because I was naked. So I hid.
[00:05:33] And then God said, who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of Good and Evil that I commanded you not to eat from church? They didn't even know they were naked.
[00:05:47] Can you imagine that? Imagine you look in a mirror in the morning and not knowing you're naked. That's how the world started. Adam and Eve were there. There was zero sin in the world. They didn't even know they were jolly naked. Well, I thought that was funny. Get in. How did that ever start? But because of that, because Eve ate that apple and then Adam came and joined it. You know, the serpent, which is the devil. You know, you see us passionate about Jesus, but as much as there's a Jesus, there's a devil. And he's out to kill, steal, cheat, destroy. And his first act was bringing sin to mankind. That rotter, okay, so he slithered along the ground and he said, nah, Jesus didn't mean that. God didn't mean that. What are you talking about? Look at that lovely apple over there. Not only commanded us not to eat that while they still knew they weren't naked, just saying.
[00:06:39] And then they ate the apple. And then sin. Sin entered mankind. Sin entered mankind. Isn't it amazing, though? Before that, God had made the world so pure that a human didn't even know they were naked. Which blows my mind, you know, we were so pure and spotless and blameless. God made this world. He created it, and he wanted you and me in it. He didn't just make a world, he wanted you and me in it. You must know that, church. But Adam and Eve brought that purity of mankind and womankind and God, okay, they ate that apple that the devil deceived them with, and they ate from the tree of good and evil.
[00:07:20] How did that happen?
[00:07:22] The Lord said here down in verse 13, still in Genesis 3, then the Lord God said to the woman, what is this you have done? The woman said, the serpent deceived me and I ate it.
[00:07:36] So that's when the devil entered human hearts. Yeah. Go right back to the start. The devil entered human hearts right at the beginning when the apple was eaten. He's all about destruction, cheating. Anything you see in this world is bad is from him. And what did he do? He caused a separation between man and God. He did. In fact, it's actually his kingdom, this world.
[00:08:02] Right? The devil roams around Here. And he caused a separation between God and man. It says in Romans 5:12 that when Adam sinned, sin entered the world. This is written 2,000, 4,000 years later, when Jesus had come to the earth when those early gospels are written. Romans 5:12, When Adam sinned. So he's going right back to the start, innit? He said, sin entered the world.
[00:08:28] Adam's sin. Listen to this.
[00:08:31] Brought death. So that death spread to. Are you ready, everyone? And that includes you and me. Church, this morning. We were due a death penalty because of sin that first started for. Everybody sinned. Everyone sinned, it said. So you might be sat here this morning thinking, well, I'm a good person, Phil.
[00:08:53] I've not murdered anyone. I've not cheated on my wife. I've not committed a bad crime.
[00:08:59] Why can't I go to heaven?
[00:09:02] Well, come on, let's get real.
[00:09:06] Let's look at what the Bible calls sin.
[00:09:09] In Galatians 5, 1921, it says this. It says, the acts of the flesh. That's the human. Yeah. It says, are obvious. I'm going to read them out to you. It says, sexual immorality, impurity, debauchery, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, anger, selfish ambition, dissensions, quarrelling, factions, envy.
[00:09:47] And it says, I warn you, those who live like this, get this. Will not inherit the kingdom of God. God has a kingdom far above this earth, in heaven. And he wants us to go there, but he gives us a choice whether we follow Him. Adam and Eve broke that relationship. Yeah.
[00:10:07] So what do we do, Phil?
[00:10:10] What am I saying? I'm saying you need Jesus this morning. Church. I'm saying you need Jesus. Let me just illustrate it, though. Are we good with that? Ellie and Matt have done some little illustrations. I'm going to do mine. Right. I'd like six volunteers to come out, please. Okay, I want a teenager. Come on. Give me one teenager. Come to the front. There's two there.
[00:10:30] Just one of you. I don't mind who it is. Right, one teenager. Somebody in the 20s. Please come to the front. You're only going to hold something up. Come on. Somebody in their 20s. Who's in the 20s? Come on, somebody in the 20s. Need one person in the 20s. Thank you, Jacob. Brilliant. Somebody in the 30s.
[00:10:48] One person in the 30s, come out. Yes, James, kind of admitting your age now.
[00:10:56] You've bought a convertible as well. So you're definitely in your 30s. Somebody in the 40s. Who's in the 40s? Come on, one person in the 40s.
[00:11:05] Thank you, Esther.
[00:11:07] One person in their 50s.
[00:11:11] That's you. Whoa. That is me.
[00:11:14] Thank you, Marie, for reminding me that.
[00:11:17] And then finally, one person in the 60s. And you can do, on behalf of anybody age 60 and beyond. Okay? The reason I wanted to do this is I wanted to illustrate that God came for one and all. You can find Jesus, whatever age, when you're of sound mind. Old enough as a child to know right from wrong. Esther's story always is she found Jesus at 6 years old. I lived with this woman, and she truly did find Jesus. She's a wonderful woman of God, but she found Jesus at 6 years old. So this spans the generations. Right. We're going to do an illustration now. And I was going to do it myself. And then this morning I saw Ollie and anyone who went to the Chosen recently. Anyone who go to the Chosen. Doesn't Ollie look like the actor? Who is Jesus in the Chosen? Come on, Ollie. Give him a round of applause.
[00:12:02] Come on.
[00:12:06] So Ollie, come out. If you all move forward, folks, go right to the front here if you can. And spread along the front. You need to spread right along the front. So, Marie, go right to the end. How do you follow her? Spread out.
[00:12:20] Just give one. Yeah, leave them all there. 101.
[00:12:28] Turn it this way.
[00:12:33] Right. Paul, on behalf of the 50s, would you turn that round and lift it high?
[00:12:39] Painted by my own fair hands yesterday.
[00:12:43] Anybody ever quarrelled, Church?
[00:12:45] Yeah. So I said to you at the start, I'm not a murderer, Phil. I've not cheated on my wife. I've not hurt anybody. Why can't I go to heaven? Well, Jesus said, if you've ever quarrelled, that's a sin. Anybody ever quarreled? That's one. Okay, Esther.
[00:13:02] Wow. Wow. Come on, be honest with me, Church. Have you ever hated anyone?
[00:13:08] You might not have told somebody, but be honest. Has anybody in that office, has anybody on that football pitch who scored the goal that you wanted to score? Has anybody ever done something in life, has anybody ever gone out with somebody that you used to go out with that you fell in love with, that you wanted to marry? Has anybody ever supported Man United?
[00:13:28] I struggle with that one.
[00:13:30] I don't hate them, but I kind of want to do. But has any of us struggled with hate? Let's be honest this morning, Church. That's hate. Next one.
[00:13:40] Wow.
[00:13:42] Wow.
[00:13:43] I ain't put shellfish.
[00:13:46] Anyone ever been selfish?
[00:13:49] Anyone ever preferred yourself over somebody else?
[00:13:52] Stinky, isn't it? I've done it loads of times. I'm embarrassed to tell you what A horrendous thing to be selfish. You know, as Christians, we're called to be kind. Who's been selfish? Next one. Jacob. Doing a fine job on behalf of the 20s. Wow.
[00:14:09] I'm not going to ask you to tell me what you've done.
[00:14:12] Anyone ever been immoral? Do you know what? That doesn't have to be an act in God's eyes. It can be in there.
[00:14:19] Anybody ever had an immoral thought? Anybody ever had a lust in the mind? Anybody ever? Yeah, you know, your own mind. But let me tell you, God listens to every thought, every word, everything that you ever do. Okay? He made us perfect in his image and then we let him down.
[00:14:35] Immoral. Next one.
[00:14:38] Wow.
[00:14:41] Anyone ever struggled with anger? I'm not looking at the guys on purpose, but anyone ever pulled out in front of you and you want to knock the block off?
[00:14:49] Anger can come in many forms, can't it? Rage, fighting, cheating.
[00:14:56] It can stem from an angry spirit. Anyone ever been angry? Be honest with me.
[00:15:01] Final one.
[00:15:04] Wow. Anybody ever been jealous of somebody else?
[00:15:08] Anybody ever envied?
[00:15:11] Wow.
[00:15:14] Wow.
[00:15:15] Here's what happens.
[00:15:17] Here's what happens. I could cry, right? Here's what happens when you give your life to Jesus.
[00:15:24] Here's what happens when you give your life to Jesus on the cross. When he said, it is finished, he wipes that slate clean. All those things you've done, he says, no more. He even says he forgets them. He forgets them.
[00:15:39] Right. Let's see what Jesus does. Ollie, we start with the first one.
[00:15:44] What do you think of quarrelling?
[00:15:55] Come on. Come on.
[00:15:59] Here's Jesus. Next one. What do you think of that? Do it.
[00:16:10] Come on.
[00:16:23] Come on. Thank you, Jesus.
[00:16:32] That immoral thought. You bad church.
[00:16:37] Come on. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Jesus. Come on.
[00:16:49] Come on. Thank you, Lord.
[00:16:54] Come on. That envious thought. You. Come on. Come on. Finally. Come on. Thank you, Jesus.
[00:17:05] Take your seats. Thank you. Thank you, Jesus.
[00:17:10] Chosen Series 6 with an Englishman from Devon. You heard it here first. I'll come back to the middle.
[00:17:18] Sorry, Band. I've kind of messed up your area.
[00:17:24] So the most famous passage in the Bible, church.
[00:17:29] I'm guessing most of you heard of it, maybe you haven't.
[00:17:33] But all that's signified there is simply this. In John 3:16, it says this. It says, for God so loved the world. Can we just stop there? We know the next bit, which is great, but it started there, you know? Church. For God so loved the world. He loved the world. He loved you and me. He started loving you and Me before that. Adam and Eve's first sin. He loved the world he'd created. He created it perfect and pure in his image, right? And he wanted us to spend eternity with him and we let him down. Don't blame Adam and Eve. Come on, we'd all do it, won't we? You know your own heart. All those things I've put on the floor there, you all know where you're at, right? He says, for God so loved the world. Sometimes in your Bible, you just want to highlight it a bit, don't you? What did he do? He gave his one and only son. Don't forget any father who loves his son. You love him. I always tell you this, but I remember my mum saying when I was younger, I'd throw myself under a train for you, Phil. And he'd think, nah, you wouldn't. You know, when you're 12, you're like, whatever, but you would as a parent, wouldn't you? There's never been a more perfect love as a father than God the Father to his son, right?
[00:18:49] And he gave his one and only son that. What? Here's the crunch now, Church. That whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. That's the deal. That's the deal right there, Church. That's why Jesus said, it is finished. You have to believe in him. You have to do an 180 degree turn and say, I'm going. That's a 360. Sorry, you have to do a 360 degree turn.
[00:19:23] You have to turn from where you were living that life of all these things here. And let's be honest, a lot more if you were me, right, I was stood on a dance floor in the centre of Leeds and I burst into tears and this little halo appeared around me. People thinking, what's that weirdo doing? It want a halo of good stuff. There's people thinking, I don't want to be near him. I'll just cry my eyes out. And I thought, I know, I know Jesus is coming again. And I know I'm nowhere. I know if he comes again, the Bible says he'll take back to heaven all who believe in him. Because it says it right there in his word. Anyone who believes in him. It's not just about knowing him. It's not just about putting on your passport, I'm a Christian. Because it's just a word it's about in here. It's about saying right deep in there, I believe in Jesus. And when you sincerely say, I believe in Jesus, and you do that 360 degree turn.
[00:20:13] That's when all this is blotted out. What is that about all that is blotted out? We become pure and spotless again, just as it was at the start.
[00:20:24] Wow. And then we have eternal life with Jesus. That's why I keep saying to you, he said, it is finished. Do you know when Noah was there, he was Noah, the only godly man at the time, and his family were saved. The rest of the world so stank with sin. It's his world. It's God's train set. Just go with me a second. If God did make the world, he's got the right to flood the world and said, I've had enough of you all, you're all sinning and letting me down. And he did a lot of glaciers, a lot of history. They do scientifically, if you go back to glaciation and a lot of things that happened is actually the time from the flood. And now mountains were scoured out and the landscape changed and now you can see countries that look like they're linked together. You go back to the flood, right? Listen. From the start to the end, Jesus was in it all. Esther always famously says that you can find Jesus on every word in the Bible, in every page in the Bible.
[00:21:16] It was always about him. It always was about Jesus. He came for you and he came for me. But he gives us church. This is the crunch. He gives us a choice whether we follow him. It's not just about saying, I'm a Christian. You've got to say, jesus, I commit my life to you. I surrender my heart to you. I'm going to do a 360 degree turn, turn from this sin doesn't mean you'll never sin again, church. But what it does mean, you seal a place in heaven. I tell you what, you don't want to sin anymore. When you realise what God's done for you, things start falling off you. When I got saved, I just stopped swearing, like instantly. People, like, sometimes you want to curse. You're like. You start coming out with words like jolly. As a Christian, you're jolly.
[00:21:59] You do. There's just this, you want to live your life for him. When you fully realise what Jesus has done for us on the cross, when he hung there and said, it is finished. When you truly believe that church, it is the best thing ever.
[00:22:13] There's no drug, there's no alcohol, there's no high you can get on this world, like knowing Jesus, Let me tell you, most people that go out on a Saturday Night for a high. They wake up with a hangover. Sunday morning, we come here, as you've seen, and we have the best party ever. No hangover. We're just full of all the goodness that is Jesus.
[00:22:29] How did this happen? When Jesus died on the cross for your sins and we get eternal life. How? How, Phil? What do you mean?
[00:22:39] Well, it's called the divine exchange.
[00:22:44] What's that, Phil?
[00:22:46] Jesus took all our sin. Everybody's over, all these generations, all these people. He knows all of you, one by one. He knows every hair on your head, which before you say it is easier in my case, I accept that.
[00:23:01] He knows all of us, one by one. He knows every thought you've had. He knew you were before you were born, quite sober in that, isn't it?
[00:23:08] Right? He knows everything we've ever done. All the stench, all this that's ripped on the floor, right? He knew it all. And when he died on the cross, he went into the tomb. That's where he's been this weekend. And when he came back out, and that's when we said, he is risen. You hear Christians saying, he is risen. He's risen again when he comes back out alive with the scars on his hands.
[00:23:33] Then he made a pathway to heaven. Only him could do that because he was the spotless Savior. He never committed a sin ever as a human. He imagine being fully human and fully God. And the human part of you never sinned? Well, Jesus didn't. He's the only man that never sinned.
[00:23:49] So if we believe in Jesus, right? If we believe in Jesus, he gives us a pathway to heaven through that day. That is the divine exchange. What is it? Your sins taken on him on the cross so you can spend eternity with Jesus.
[00:24:06] There's no deeper love ever shown in this world than the love of the Father to his Son, Jesus. You imagine the agony that weekend. It's the only time they separated. For three days, the Father and the Son were separate. But there was something happening in the heavenlies. There was a stirring. He was going to rise again. So when he rose again, he came out back, not only to his Father, but he gave mankind no more need to flood the world, no need for anything. He gave mankind the biggest gift ever, which was his own life. Yeah. Come on. I was going to show you a video this morning of a train signal master who it quite graphically depicts. So I didn't want to show it with children. And there's a train coming along and it's a bridge somewhere and it's got this Big metal thing that comes down and he has to pull this lever for it to come down. And he didn't know the train was coming. He'd taken his eye off it. And his son was playing down here. And he was looking at his son and he saw the train in the distance, okay? And he has this decision to make. All those people sat on that train and on the video, wow, the hairs on my neck are stood up. It shows each person's face on that train going past. Yeah. And it's over each of the head, it's saying, lust, envy, anger. It's showing who they all are, right? And this train running along this track and you can see in the distance, this thing's lifted up. It's going to go up in the air. They're all going to die. They're all going to land in this big river. And then he sees his son, and his son had run and gone under the train thing. And he knows if he lowers the train, children are here. I won't say anymore. Do you get me? And he has that decision to make. And there's this 10 seconds where he's perspiring and he lowers the thing and all those people go past looking at him and they don't realise. And he runs out to his son. That's what Jesus did for us. He saw all your faces on the train. He saw everything you've ever done. And he pulled the lever down and he hung on a cross for you and for me. Let me tell you, Church, humans needed a saviour because our sins separate us from God.
[00:26:08] I want to repeat that. We needed a saviour, and his name is Jesus.
[00:26:14] His name is Jesus.
[00:26:19] Can I ask you this morning, if you don't know Jesus as your Lord and saviour, if you don't know him this morning, if somebody's brought you here this morning, or you've been coming a few times, or maybe you've grown up in a Christian home, maybe you've known of this message, or maybe your heart's gone cold to God.
[00:26:39] I want you to do something really brave now.
[00:26:42] If it's possible. Can we all stand, please? If you're able.
[00:26:48] Can everybody close their eyes?
[00:26:54] I'm not here to cheer you up. I'm not here to tell you anything other than the truth of what we call the Gospel. As a Christian this morning, I've tried to explain to you the best I can, in simple words of a Yorkshireman, when he said, it is finished, what it meant, it was his life for yours. But Church, you have to make a choice. You have to say, I want to follow Jesus. And you know what? There's something gutsy about having the guts to put your hand up in front of a hundred people and say, that's me. So I want to ask you now if your little heart's pounding, if you're here this morning, you weren't expecting to hear what I've just told you, but you think, there's something about these people, there's something about this Christian message that I want to be a part of. There's something about knowing Jesus, I want to know. There's something about letting me go and putting God first. And it takes this. It takes an honest, heartfelt yes in your heart. It's actually a surrender to your old way of life and simply starting a new life that Jesus says calls being born again. He spoke to a guy called Nicodemus. Nicodemus says, how can you be born again? You can't re enter your mother. It's a spiritual born again. It's basically saying, I lay this life down as I am now. I accept Jesus to come be my Lord and Saviour and you start a new life. That's the born again. You start a new life with that divine exchange that, let me tell you, was always meant for you. God loves us all, but he gives us a choice. So can I ask you this morning, if that's you and you've come this morning, you say, I want to say yes to Jesus. Would you be brave enough to put your hand up now?
[00:28:40] Yep. There's one hand there. Thank you. Is there any others?
[00:28:45] If your heart's beating now, let me tell you, I was on a dance floor blind drunk in the centre of Leeds, and I got up the next morning. So I knew beyond doubt that that was my time to find Jesus. And I did. I don't think I've ever cried as much in my life. I think there's a wet spot at this church in Bradford where I grew up. But it was the best thing I ever did. Please don't miss your moment. If you're here this morning and you don't know Jesus, I just want to ask one last time. Put your heart right with Jesus today. Just raise your hand and that's you saying yes to Jesus.
[00:29:18] Thank you. Thank you. I see that hand. Thank you.
[00:29:22] Right, with these two people, will you all join with me? Church, I'm going to pray a prayer now. Can everybody say it with me after me? But for these two precious people, this is the first time You've said it. Thank you, Lord. Let's give them a round of applause. Yeah?
[00:29:36] Yeah. Jesus, for these two people, when you pray this prayer, you pray it from the bottom of your heart. You mean it. And let me tell you, Jesus will hear you and he will come and live within you. And you're going to start the most amazing journey ever. You're not going to be perfect, but you're going to start to know the King of Kings and Lord of Lords as your own personal savior. You were meant to come this morning. So all together. Dear Lord Jesus, thank you that you died on the cross for me.
[00:30:07] Thank you for that divine exchange. Thank you for that divine exchange. When you took my sin upon yourself and washed me white.
[00:30:21] I ask this morning that you come and live within my heart for now and eternity.
[00:30:32] Amen. Come on, let's give him a round of applause.
[00:30:39] If you want to take your seats, we're going to take communion now. Church, you should have one of these cups on your chair. And for the two that gave their life to Jesus this morning, this is a symbol of what Jesus did when he died for us.
[00:31:02] The grape juice, which is actually quite nice from this little cup. The grape juice was his blood, and the bread on the top was his body. His body was beaten for you, and his blood poured out for you. So every time you see Christians getting giddy about taking communion, because actually we remind ourselves of what he did. And it's the most amazing thing ever. Let me read this. So this was just before he was going to die, when Jesus knew what was coming. In Matthew 26, he said this as they were eating. This is the final supper. Jesus took the bread, he gave it and gave thanks for it and broke it. He gave to the disciples and said, take and eat, for this is my body. So this is what you do. You bend it down, then you snap it back. Otherwise you won't get it out. Okay, let's all take the bread together. This is just symbolizing his body beaten and broken for you. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Lord.
[00:31:56] Thank you, Lord.
[00:31:59] It says this. Then he took the cup. If you pull back to show the Jews, he took the cup, he gave thanks, and he gave it to them, just as I'm doing now, saying, all of you drink it, for this is my blood of the new covenant. That's knowing Jesus after he's come again, right? This divine exchange, this new life we have in him, this rebirth, this spiritual rebirth, he said he gave it, saying, all of you drink it, for this is my blood of the new covenant which is poured out for the many, for the remission of sins. Thank you, Jesus. Your sins are washed clean.
[00:32:48] What did I say at the start? I'm going to end the same way I started Band, if you can come out, can we maybe shout at the same time? All of us, really loud. It is finished after three.
[00:33:01] I know I'm a crazy Yorkshireman, but I just want to say it myself because it applies to all of us.
[00:33:06] Come on, let's stand. We're going to worship Jesus in a second we're going to sing a great song that says one, only one. He says he ran out of the grave but before we do. Are you ready? Once we're all stood after three we're going to shout. It is finished with a bit of passion. Are you ready?
[00:33:23] The door's open. Let's hope the hearers in Newton Abbott. Are we ready? After three. One, two, three. It is finished.
