Good morning everybody welcome back to another stream. Hopefully you guys are doing great Good a bit bit of a shorter stream. It's just really tired today. I just didn't really get too much sleep. I was just getting close to it, so Didn't get any sleep today. So there's that and tomorrow no stream Yeah, so other than that, that's pretty much all the updates for now But that's not wise So let's try to get as much information as we can today because we know there is no tomorrow Interesting weekend pretty sort of telling in terms of where you're sort of looking for it to go I mean you can pretty clearly see here and then what we saw first in the discord about potentially looking for lower on Asia and Even the continuation low on London. I was pretty easy considering still everyone sort of buying up the area and then just Loaded into a false sense of security at this sort of high here. Oh I wanted to do So, yeah, we can grab this out. There you go. You can see this sort of area here large cluster of Delta Longs I know you've got long spies and even on this area here and You can even start this from this point and you can see this area is just focused on being heavy sort of Biposition so we can see that To end the Friday off people's Asia's decided to push the markets high with this move and the weekend or and the week Here and let sort of retail step over and then the people who were willing to buy just come in And it's nice to say, okay Saturday came here. I gave you a nice present representation of that long Thursday, I mean Sunday came here Hit you up with an extra sort of set of longs here So that's sort of and just coming under and that sort of should be telling that okay You know what they just concerned in this sort of by pressure downloads It's trying to trap as much as they possibly can do and then move from there So pretty interesting so we can and that's what you're looking for. We're pretty high on this range. It's pretty much sort of 98% taps out for a spot we can wall so 1500 We're looking with target first here. So you hit that there And formal these cells and even as a retest so you could have re-entered into a potential Reshore here and Nick sort of this cluster here. So which we thought we achieved that That comes to a point where we see the selling area and we see a lot of selling here and a lot of selling is just getting absorbed So we're just reabsorbing that that's something that we want to know and just keep in mind that Now we're just re-adding back at the same area as we did prior Now whilst we have that out and we also want to look at spot not spot futures As futures will probably tell you something slightly different, but at the same time give you a Different sort of overlook of how things are traded As you can see here a lot of people just went through here and the counteract that They are back into the sort of view app as you can see here Just curving into this area here getting getting pretty sort of heavy sort of short That's something we want to see that these this sort of short pressures getting getting easing up and Then at the same time liquidated to some certain extent Just definitely keep your eye open for potential sort of recline if we sort of look at where we are within sort of Daily sort of charts again sort of first area here second area sort of starts here And as I said do you even on this because there's going to be some variants and You know what I mean by that it's just like I don't exactly know where it's gonna land But it should somewhere land and then find a client firmly find itself somewhere around here How much it sort of did for now Now we're sort of looking at sort of this area here Get up into this and we're sort of getting a sort of bullish sort of nature here I was still under here. So slightly bearish. So if we come in and retest here I was still sort of a bit bearish and and then we can sort of say Oh, you know what those are pulling money down and then carry that momentum on Tuesday Then maybe get something out of it Wednesday, but All in all, it might be a whole lot of build up or nothing. So we'll see Generally, there's your breakout here As your retest that you're looking for basically around this and We sort of know what the daily about imbalance will give us and we know how to sort of trade it and The benefits of trading it. So Definitely pay attention to this Sort of area here and then treat this as an area where you would like to see a breakout or retest So if we get sort of a push high Come back into this area here Retest here. This is sort of your bullish argument case for today But that's sort of very sort of up in the air I mean, we do have a lot of sort of a lot short liquidity traps here That's something that you want to know And that short liquidity can be used to drive price up to take out stops At this sort of level then that's the reason why you're looking for a break here and a retest and and the retest is key Because if your break here, it's not going to be a breakout It's going to be a stop on where you grab all that liquidation off the market Then you sort of pull it down and reassess it and get a retest somewhere In the middle of that. So that's what you're looking for for bullish argument case Let's sort of see if we can develop that argument in map And like I said, that's sort of heavy sort of short pressure coming in and very little to counteract that in terms of our Liquidation wise just visits the view app. So it doesn't look like Uh, they have sort of any sort of ability to sort of hold this Uh, any anyway, uh here No, definitely gonna start looking for this to start moving away ideally move upwards just so We protect this sort of trap short area and we liquidate that we see if we can grab that off the market Then let's see even come back into this area here And we talked about how that sort of long candle the potential area where we can retest Come back here retest this area and pull up that's sort of what bullish outlook Would look like for today In terms of transpiling as you can see we've got these sort of markers coming in We sort of came back into this point here as you can see sort of your volume is pretty high up and We're sort of respecting that volume as we stand right now That's always nice, uh when we respect volume It just shows that there's uh some level of uh, not even maturity. There's some level of size to keep price above a certain point That's something that you want to know and and and you want to say, okay They're keeping volume here and they're keeping every sort of point higher and higher push down Uh sam's always so, uh Oh, yeah, uh, I think binance said some things The binance said things and and uh, things went to uh, malachie It is just a whole lot of kaphuffle You can see that. Oh It's like, uh You actually could have been here, but I mean even if like it nukes it nukes That numbers. I mean it's just you can't even make this stuff up anymore Uh, it just it just works. Yeah, I mean, I think uh, what's coming in, uh Binance, uh said some things about uh Because I don't know what they said but it doesn't matter But like all we know is there's just sort of aggressive sort of stop hunt We're looking for that as a target in turn anyway as as uh to take profit So we're not too mad. I mean it went all the way up higher, but Ultimately came back down retest it as a barrier free test here and then just continue down. I mean It's just just not that hard Unlike me. Oh man, my internet's been really weird lately Uh Just back to sort of the center area here. I mean that's sort of a sort of key focus I mean we've been dropping a lot of bars here We even stop hunting this area. I still have sort of this volume protected. Uh, I mean now sort of looking for us to Fight very sort of aggressive here. You have to do very aggressive sort of moves just even try to recover this movement F burn Forever burn on bsc Dude no pump and dumps man. We don't we don't do pump and dumps Not anymore. I'm a I'm a changed man Yeah, you know what tells me like safeman was a like colossal scam Like you don't want to fall into those religious groups. Uh, they'll believe in a lot of different things That's a joke That's what they said about safeman I pumped it. I dumped it. I got out made my money and I'm happy I'm telling you that's all you got to do.    Uh, should we wait? Or thinking long car. Oh, I'll check it out. I haven't checked it out I don't I don't know what transpires always acting up man Nothing ever seems to work anymore Well, nothing I use ever seems to work Uh, let's sort of look at that. I mean I haven't looked at it in a very long time Here we go.   That's the whole thing If you can make your money get out, I mean, I've pulled a hundred X's and before it's just I've not I I didn't believe in anything. I made that on It's just all garbage Just whatever has the most hype or the The most abilities to be hyped about Thing that's sort of the key is just okay. Cool. It's just very easily markable. But where's the peak though? There's always there's always gonna be a peak and before that peak it just dies Just keep your money safe. That's so that that's that's the only advice I can really give you And if you see it on the news instantly sell it because I go into shiba uh before Yeah, like before we got into on to any major exchanges before it was on any word anyone's name Like anyone's tongue. I got into shiba a lot Really early Before the first theorem crash. Yeah Damn it was like a lifetime ago Uh, no Also looking at if Uh, FDT.  We've already sort of stopped under here And we're sort of just keeping uh and just showing sort of volume Willing and able to be lower Uh That's my best I describe it it's just uh Uh I mean it's this yeah, okay Uh It's one of the things I mean at some point it's just not not something that you want to risk It's uh, if you can get sort of a clear sort of a break above certain areas then Probably more likely but Right now it's just a rock in a hard place with how things are going and I think This is where things come in Yeah Let me show we we're back to stop sort of taking our stops I'm sort of pulling back and then we're staying in turn also that that's sort of Showing signs that it wants to sort of be Uh So it just doesn't want to go down yet. I thought I'd go down fully Yeah I'll look at it on here once we get uh look at the theorem theorem uh held up pretty nicely I mean this is a four hour chart but I mean you can see that sort of stop on and we talk about sort of stop On this into declines You can see that sort of slight overhang in terms of here where he also did the same thing As in stop hunts you can see that volume sort of they trap here Now there's sort of back above this sort of level here and this is sort of It'd be nice uh to say it's pretty bullish, uh And just say that okay, you know what it's just There you go We hit up into there.  I think I recognize this from somewhere Uh slight slight miss from here. It looks like they just uh depending on your exchange I think you would probably hit that because this is looking at sort of spot Uh, but definitely not too bad. Uh from the looks of things It definitely be worse at the same time. There's there's your double top But it's just trading internally. So that's always good sign As long as we sort of catch in and still stay above here Uh, we we're still fine.  So Definitely something you want to keep an eye out for Coming back to bitcoin order book Not much to add Just it's just chugging along slowly. I mean you can see how heavy The futures is on the sort of short side. You can see sort of the small breakaways where they try liquidate shorts here But I mean other than the sort of small volume Breaks there's not really too much uh to add Uh, ideally looking to collect more shorts Preferably above this sort of market here Uh, looking to lead in sort of bullish statements if they're not really getting that was sort of continuing to continuing to go down and And down we'll go and until reach and bottom. So that's sort of What you should be looking out for and you can see there you go. There's where you want to be above About 26 50 I think that's the point of control from a previous day if I'm not mistaken That they're about so okay. There you go. We've already hit that here.  It's just being collected slowly It's just dca'ing down and that's sort of pretty sort of bullish in my books Uh, at least at least from an objective standpoint, I mean All things considered not too bad as long as you stay above here and as long as we stay Uh away from this sort of uh area here We could definitely look to continue this sort of upward sort of pressure Only trouble is that I don't think they're they're showing that just yet. So Of uh showing that they want volume pretty low So on the sort of high side, I think they'll try to bring it down We'll see what we can get here. We can see if they can try pull it back up but Just looking at this sort of insane sort of uh time spent here as well as being sort of heavy shorts short Uh, it's just starting to make sense to just sort of have a bullish bias at some point in time Uh, but I think it might uh be a while Looking at And then sort of looking at sort of this as a base.   Maybe we reach lower start selling back at all the way back into this area here And from there, we sort of have something That's sort of your worst case scenario Depends on if you're not uh, not in a short from here or not I don't know, uh, if you're not in a short It's probably a good case scenario if you're if you're in a no if you're not in a short It's a worst-case scenario because you miss a move if you're in a short It's probably a best-case scenario because I can you know while you're maximizing shorts But generally I don't think we uh hit here anyway But it's just always nice to sort of play out your outcomes And that's that's the sort of key sort of trading just play out all your sort of Cards and until you sort of have a full deck But sometimes uh, you can be like me and I'm not play with a full deck. Uh, no stop stop Don't do it There you go Uh pretty sort of easy sort of day lines here Nothing sort of too out of the ordinary you can see sort of uh, how we sort of fold to read these and then sort of just bounce below these areas here Uh Just want to come lower. See if you can grab some sort of internal stops I don't know. I'll go I think until like, uh Another sort of half hour just give me this 45 minute stream just goes again Not feeling well. I need to get prepared Tomorrow because there's no stream tomorrow. So I need to prepare for what I need to do Uh, and then let me just End of day End of day, uh I mean nothing sort of too interesting is happening anyway. I mean Like I said worst case here We're already at a sort of a best middling case and even if you extend down a bit lower To sort of reach out into these areas here. We're not too fast generally But ideally we'd want this to be held And this to be held here. But as we take out time in doing so The more and more chance we have in sort of going lower. So that's sort of Sort of a ticking clock, uh, in terms of uh, do you expect upwards movement or not? So four hours nice sort of interesting to all the markers of ads Just below everything really and it's just just not nice We just really don't want to be in this position It's just one of the things where you're probably trading like a retail If you're ever going to be trading this you're just waiting for retest to be above certain levels You try and drive price higher But I mean looking at sort of how the volumes have been playing was a soft punish. It's not too bad But at the same time this sort of big it's just That's it's just groaning sounds Uh, what do you think about tick chart? Uh, why would you use it? Uh, I mean this this is tick chart Uh Tick just means uh every It refreshes when it refreshes basically one tick. It's one refresh rate Because uh certain things refresh as certain different rates So if you want the uh, if you want the data as it is refreshed, uh, you'd use tick size Or tick chart or whatever Uh, depending on your sort of tick and let's say you have a tick size of 10 That means you want the charts to be sort of refreshed when you get a 10 movement in 10 dollar movement in price and then so on Uh, and sort of whatever that sort of cause and lapse time, right? It doesn't matter But generally, uh, if you want sort of as much as data as you want Check tick chart is the way to go Generally, I don't think you won't use it unless you're sort of trading quantitatively uh What you're buying for short little Uh, what am I buying? I mean, I mainly just focus on sort of uh You know, let's let's sort of look through Laundry list of uh things you can possibly buy Uh, let's let's see what people are saying okay Long bitcoin As we talked about uh XRP XRM Ah, you know Oh, no They're short positions interesting for all coins Uh, Solana longs, uh, I don't think you do it. Did we agree with that? I don't think we did the Zcash, oh That's not too bad Zcash is an interesting coin I think flow is interesting. I mean flow will be interesting for Back that it is just It's it's more of an old coin. I'm not an old coin. It's more of a metaverse coin. So I just sort of sort of blow up when we sort of get metaverse GMT short Really If along Actually, no, we didn't Actually, yeah, no, we got Solana not too bad of of an areas to be uh, I mean especially Because we're already at the bottom of the sort of TP Sort of fish for trades didn't get too much but at the sort of volume area. I mean it could be nice Uh to be longer So it could definitely be nice to add positions to I'm just looking for things Ah Susie Oh god damn Yeah liquidated out. Yeah, so Binance liquidated the FTT position. So that's that's Yes Maybe we'll go down. We only go down if FTX collapses if we go down Could be fun I mean depending on who you ask this could be fun But I think a lot of people are just if you're on on sort of where the mark is going to trade A lot of people miss the short on Sundays because they don't trade Sundays for some reason I mean, it's just any other day. I know Sunday's meant to be a day for God, but sometimes Uh, you have to just start trading Most things are just sort of uh, I mean most things are warming up to a long. So this is not too bad Uh I like the way the uh, each is crabbing You're crabbing you got crabs Yeah, I mean I mean, let's see Dot long Oh KSM, that's that's the name I haven't heard in a really long time Damn KSM's at 30 dollars. Jesus. I remember when it was at 500 But then again, everything was at these areas here Uh Yeah, probably just really high at one point. That's Same Uh curve long Beta Yeah, yeah Link Okay, I mean there's a lot of potential coins and you can you can sort of pick up but I don't know It's just one of the things where Probably getting a lot of picture XRMs Yeah, see I don't know You identify as a lobster Are you a rock lobster? Do you remember are you old enough to remember what that Are you old enough to remember what that is? Rock lobster Rock lobster I need to play that one on the stream and I just need to hear it again Death to a I like I like the family guy, uh, the rock lobster Uh, that was funny version of rock lobster Death to America And butter sauce don't involve me. I'm still alive in our club stuff Anchor I don't know. Uh, I think it's transparent. It's just really backing up.  Anchor like It's not the way you are spending it.  Okay, it doesn't doesn't look like anyone spilled it here. So let's just go and look at are you sure that's what you want?  Oh, there you go. That's something If you're trading these Uh, wow, really? No, I don't know what this is. Norwegian anyone could get the same thing man like They go. Hello. Hello. Oh, wait I mean, it's just the same things just like they all the same and They all look alike Norwegians I mean I'm pissed. I can't get it on transpider Why though? Oh, because he only has nestack. Yeah, he only has nestack. Okay. Okay. That's fine It's like I'm just gonna have to learn to live Start using my easy tools Uh, nice little stop on on the weekly Daily coming up. It's just doesn't look too pretty Just coming into sort of this area here I was still sort of start taking out these stops.  Uh, see I mean I had time frames When we did sort of push up came into this sort of point Was Not fully I mean it's closer to a redistribution than anything really I mean, it's just just uh Looking at the sort of downwards thing sort of builds up. I mean takes out this stuff I mean that's sort of that's sort of a curveball here But I mean there's sort of variations to the trend Uh, we always sort of talk about that Uh, but sort of this sort of area where it sort of just gives you a nice little spring and a nice little retest here And just starts pushing off It's sort of nice, uh Especially if we can sort of continue that motion and sort of break and the break will sort of come in I think a lot earlier Uh, or even if we just focus on this area here and go into sort of lower time frames just sort of sell Distribution pushes down It falls down just moves up. I mean Yeah, it's probably a bit dodgy. I think you're just looking at sort of this area here, especially Science a bit uh science appeal back And just doesn't really look too appealing As this area I think that's sort of your main sort of Sort of tell that okay, you know, it might not fully be a distribution here Uh, especially considering I mean, we broke this range here came back up retest Sort of takes uh, just been working these sort of higher sort of liquidity Just really haven't been sort of touching these loads until sort of this point And after this point, we sort of took out the liquidity here. So Maybe if we don't hold here, we can sort of say, you know, what was sort of bottom holdings is sort of probably going down Uh, let's see. We'll think of that one but formation At the top bit dodgy I am in anything that does this is dodgy Anything that just is the looks like a parabolic Motion is dodgy. I mean, I think that's very evident Uh, it's dodgy for Multiple reasons. I mean, even if we just come back here and consolidate I think that would be the most dodgiest thing because we just come in take out a stop and pull back down That's sort of what will make the most sense I think I just need to spend some time as this And have a look at it a bit deeper Because I know nothing about this and You know, nothing.  The consolidation just rips rips, man We have many Damn, man Like You think crypto had a good year long Had a good couple of year on I mean, yeah Amazing run Uh That was a problem I mean, yeah, I think this whole thing is just uh break Energy oh Oh, it's energy. Uh makes it easier. Yeah, uh up Now I'm joking. It's down. Uh, especially Norwegian energy These guys probably buy from russia I think we trust them as much But I mean the energy prices are just trying to be stabilised. I think These guys are slowly an energy company. So slowly start feeling the burn. So It is probably high time say energy's probably not not the one to be in Realistically Allegedly My head is just Meme central I guess exacerbated because of the lack of sleep I'm gonna be so high on painkillers tomorrow Hopefully they give me painkillers if they don't I'm I'm I'm gonna start buying some One of the old painkillers and what Not really I mean, yeah, it's it's marking looks probably I said I was gonna go Up until sort of to my time. It's coming up to my time. We already know what we're sort of looking for I mean, we're looking for ideally to hold above here and not to go below here If we go below here, I'll sort of start increasingly Introduce a lot more sort of newer sort of panic sellers Looking for sort of lower short territory here That would be a sort of last sort of giving point and I think we said Here all the way down sort of turning around 2250 That's sort of your last point, but generally More sort of interesting and interested in holding this point here liquidating sort of these sort of shorts Maybe even going up up until sort of this point here back up to 2800 Then maybe sort of from there. We start making our way down, but generally Should be a mix by today Nothing's up to out of the extraordinary Thai consolidation on New York, I think that's very sort of atypical Especially if we're coming to sort of this point Does look like they're open in 30 minutes anyway, so Doesn't look like it's a closed market. It's just I think considering that both Asian London sort of panic downwards this sort of Consolidation is welcomed. So this is not sort of too bad of this consolidation Instead of having an agent. We're having it at New York So this is now our consolidation range and any sort of stop hunt I think I think it's not too bad But I mean considering that we can even drop that in a bit sort of tighter Here sort of a very sort of tight here, especially considering if it stays like this And then we can start looking at, okay, there's your stop hunt Even if we go below here, we can see treat this as a stop hunt Anything at a break of this line is is taking stops realistically And then wherever it's top hunts We want to pull it back into this range and to tight consolidation And again To truly be accepted into bullish where you want to break above this and retest this Anything sort of retesting this. So if we start pulling up retest this break the range first I'm probably going to look to go down anyway That pretty much sums up my thoughts for today Tomorrow probably look to continue the direction today is going at So it'll probably be a lot of continuation trades I don't know what time I'm free or what time I'm not I'm just going to be super busy. Got fed speakers today So they'll probably spice things up later on the sort of tail end of the session So they just look out for that And on Tuesday Not really too much. So they'll probably continue sort of the trend Probably gonna see a lot of sort of whips or climbing in.  Hell yeah I want to try anything here. I want to sleep at the same time. I can't sleep because I'm waiting for a phone call I don't know. I'll try to do something because What was my life without going insane? I'll catch you guys Wednesday. Maybe I don't know if I'm going to be recovered by then I don't know. We'll see. If anything probably Be sort of incoherent more so than it usually is But hey, that's what you guys get with me incoherent Jumbled intelligence Just an oxy But other than that, have a lovely day folks, and I will catch you guys on the next stream. Peace

Okay, so more questions to solve now in this question to supplementary angles are in the ratio 2 is to 3 Find the angles so you have to Find the angles which are supplementary and the ratio is 2 is to 3 how to do it. So let us say the angles are Angles are X and Y so don't you know hesitate to take as many variables as Possible and later on once you are very adept at it. You will be able to do it By minimizing the number of variables as well. So for the start. Let us take the angles to be X and Y Now what information is given first of all? They are saying the angles are supplementary in nature. That means what first information I have to convert it into an equation So this first information is two supplementary angles. That means X plus Y is 180 degrees first information Name the equation as 1 label it as 1 now second information is the ratio is 2 by 3. That means X upon Y is 2 by 3 So by manipulating you can write X equals to 2 by 3 Y Okay, this is let's say relation number 2 now Using 1 and 2 now let's use both 1 and 2 together. What does it mean? So substitute? Y or X and the first Equation so X plus Y was 180. So now we got X is this much. So I can write 2 by 3 Y instead of X. So instead of this X. I'm writing 2 by 3 Y Y Because of this relation plus Y is equal to 180 degrees, isn't it? Now you can take Y common So Y common 2 by 3 plus 1 Equals 180 degrees. So which is nothing but Y and you can take the LCM and you'll get Y 5 by 3. Okay is 180 degrees So this implies Y is equal to 3 upon 5 into 180 degrees Okay, so 5 3 and 6 36 times 5 is 180 so hence this answer is Nothing, but 1 0 8 degrees Okay, so Y is 1 0 8. What would be X then simply X is 2 by 3 Y Which is nothing but 2 by 3 into 1 0 8 degrees. How do I know this? I know this because of this relationship, right? So hence the answer is 2 by 3 into so 3 is 36 and this is nothing but 72 degrees. So the answer is the solution to this question is 108 degrees and 72 degrees. Let's see another question. Now in this question It says the complement of an angle Compliment of an angle. So the moment this is there, what does what comes to your mind first? So complement of an angle is nothing but let us say the angle is Theta or again, if you don't like theta, let's put it as X. So let's say the angle is X Okay, now again the complement of an angle is one-third of itself. So So complement of an angle. So what is complement of an angle? So I'm just converting the language English into mathematics to complement.  So what is what does it say? It says Compliment is one-third of itself. Okay, so what is complement 90 minus X? so complement and Then there is a word is which means equal to in mathematics then one third is nothing but 1 by 3 off means multiplication and Itself what was itself X? So this is the equation. Okay, so you need just need to solve this So 90 equals X upon 3 plus X if you take this X on that side So 90 is equal to 4 by 3 X right after taking LCM. So hence X is 90 into 3 upon 4 Which is nothing but for if you do this calculation this 22.5 base. So hence it is nothing but 67.5 Degrees right. So that is one That is let's say X. So this is angle X. Sorry to mind the angle. So X is 67.5 0.5 degrees. So what is complement of X? 90 minus X which is 90 minus 90 degrees minus 67.5 degrees, which is nothing but 22.5 degrees Okay, so you see these are the two solutions two values So one angle is 67.5 and one third of it anyways is 22.5 and if you add both of them this plus this you will get 90 degrees. This is what the question was all about Okay, so I hope you understood how to solve such questions you


Many reefs develop in shallow tropical volcanic islands. In this situation, the reef evolves in a manner first described by Charles Darwin. Initially, very few coral polyps will settle upon the volcanic island. But once the volcano becomes dormant, the reef will rapidly colonize the island in a manner called a fringing reef. In the fringing reef, the reef lies right next to the island itself. As the island becomes further eroded, the reef becomes a barrier reef and is separated from the island by a shallow lagoon. This is often what we think about when we think about a tropical island with a reef. When the island itself becomes completely eroded, we have what is known as an atoll, in which the reef lies along a ring separated by a shallow lagoon in the middle. Many reefs that lie along continents are either fringing reefs where the reef is right next to the land or barrier reefs like the Great Barrier Reef in Australia where the continent and the reef are separated by some distance.


And the title of our sermon this morning is Living Faith and the Risen Lord. Living Faith and the Risen Lord. This is part three. As we've been working through John chapter 20 verses one through 18, we're going verse by verse through the Gospel of John. We've come to John chapter 20. We're nearing the end of the Gospel of John. After a long journey through this Gospel, it has been a blessing. So the closer we get to the end, a little sadder, you know, this has been such a glorious blessing to study the Gospel of John. But it's also our great joy to come to text like this and spend time in the text of Scripture understanding what the Lord intends to communicate here. So it's our blessing again to come to John chapter 20 verses one through 18. And John's account of the empty tomb. As we unpack the final verses here in our text this morning, it's important to remind ourselves of the primary purpose for which John's writes his primary purpose for including in this account in his narrative, the evidence of the empty tomb. John intends through the Spirit of God to cultivate a living, breathing, active faith in the Risen Lord through eyewitness testimony of the empty tomb and the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. John has said in his Gospel that he writes, so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, that he is the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name. So John wants to cultivate faith. By the Spirit of God, he wants to cultivate a living faith in the Risen Lord. And he does that through eyewitness testimony of the empty tomb and the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Now what we've been doing over the last two weeks as we've been studying this text together is we've been considering now the nature and the character of the faith of the Lord's disciples revealed in this text. The Lord's disciples, that faith pictured here in the experience of Mary and the experience of Peter and John in this narrative before they understand the reality of the resurrection, right? We see their immature faith, so to speak, their uninformed faith, so to speak, the weakness of their faith, the defection of their faith. We see that in the text. And then with that understanding, we've been considering the impact of the empty tomb and the impact of the resurrection on their faith. And as we consider the impact of the resurrection on their faith, the impact of that evidence for the empty tomb on their faith, we need to consider the impact of the resurrection, the impact the empty tomb should have on our own faith. By way of application, it's important to understand that our faith should be impacted by the glorious reality of the resurrection, just as their faith was. The reality of the resurrection is critical to your faith. Christ has not risen, your faith is in vain. It's useless, it's worthless. Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians chapter 15, verse 3. Paul said, for I delivered to you, first of all, that which I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, and that he was buried, and that Jesus Christ rose again the third day according to the scriptures. Now what evidence, Paul, do you give, verse 5? That he was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve, after that, that he was seen by over 500 brethren at once, of whom the greater part remained to the present, but some have fallen asleep. And after that, he was seen by James, and then by all the apostles. Last of all, Paul says he was seen by me also, as one born out of due time. This is historical fact. This is incontrovertible, irrefutable evidence for our faith. Jesus Christ is risen from the dead. When you are in your own Christian life, when you're faced with faith-shaking hardship, when you're tempted to discouragement, when you're tempted to shrink back from preaching the gospel because of a fear of man or whatever it may be, when you're tempted to doubt, when you're tempted to despair, regardless of how you feel, you're to stand there with Mary, with Peter, with John, at the opening of the empty tomb and proclaim with all of his disciples, that he's not here, he's risen. And that is to embolden and to fuel your faith in Christ. Not just your belief about these things, but your life, the way that you think about the Lord, the way that you think about the Christian life, the way that you live, the way that you serve, the way that you obey, the way that you love the Lord, where to believe his promises. And part of believing his promises is standing there, if you will, at the opening of that empty grave and worshiping the Lord Jesus Christ that he has raised from the dead. If he's been raised, if you've turned from your sins and you've put your faith in him, that you are raised in him, you will be raised also in him. We're not to stand there. We're not to stand there in our circumstance at the opening of the empty tomb, so to speak, weeping as those who have no hope.  Our service to Christ, our faith in him, our obedience, our love, is not the sprinkling anointing of a dead corpse. It is a living, hoping, obeying, maturing, serving, rejoicing, worshiping, spirit-filled faith in our risen and reigning prophet, priest, and king. Our faith at times can often be shamefully weak. And what the Spirit of God intends to do through this text what John hopes to do through this text is to embolden and fuel your faith. Some of you here today have never turned from your sin. You've never trusted Christ. This is all foreign to you. You don't live your life this way. You don't think about these things. These things don't fill your heart and fill your mind. And John intends through this text for you. He intends through this text for you to be filled with the glories of the empty tomb and the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ from the dead. He intends to cultivate within you, to provoke within you by the Spirit of God a living faith in the risen Lord through eyewitness testimony of the empty tomb and the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ from the dead that you might believe and that believing you might have life in his name.  Jesus Christ is risen. He does this through several means as we've talked about. He does this through historical eyewitness testimony and that through multiple credible eyewitnesses. He does that through historical evidence. The tomb was empty. And one of the leading stories of that time, it was still present even when John writes the gospel, was an acknowledgement on the part of Pilate and those soldiers who appeared as dead men before the angels of the tomb that night. Even at the time of John's writing, it was still acknowledged that the tomb was empty. But he does that even through the weak and immature faith of his own disciples that we see woven here into the fabric of the text. And that's what we've been looking at the last couple of weeks. So now as we've unpacked John chapter 20 verses one through 18 over the last two sermons, in point one on your notes, we first consider the tested faith of the disciples, the tested faith of the disciples. The Lord Jesus Christ was betrayed. The outspoken leader of the disciples has denied him. The disciples are scattered, right? And right now they're out hiding for fear of the Jews. The one in whom they placed all their hope has been beaten, scourged, crucified, and buried. So what you have here now is a discouraged, dispirited, defeated, dejected group of disciples. The reality of the resurrection would change all of that. Death is swallowed up as it were in the jaws of victory, right? We look at that in point one. Next we considered point two on your notes. The devoted faith of Mary from verses one and two, the Lord having saved her from seven demons and a life of sin and Luke eight, she now faithfully follows the Lord from that point forward. Her eternal destiny and her earthly life forever changed by grace. And the one who is forgiven much loves much and Mary now follows the Lord, follows him everywhere he goes. And she's seen there at the cross in John chapter 19 and she's here again at his tomb in John chapter 20. We see her in verse one. Early on Sunday morning, John chapter 20 verse one, the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene makes her way in the dark toward the garden tomb at Golgotha and where they had buried the Lord Jesus Christ. Proverbs eight just reminded of that. I love those who love me and those that seek me early will find me. Mary is out seeking the Lord early even before the sun comes up and she's going to find the Lord at the tomb. We're going to see that today. Matthew, Mark and Luke all make clear that she's not alone. She's walking with other women also who follow the Lord as she did and they were carrying the spices and the oils that they had lovingly prepared to anoint his body. As they walk together, they're having conversation and they begin to be concerned, right? Their focus begins to focus on the large stone that's been rolled over the opening to the tomb. Mark chapter 16 verse three, they ask one another, who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us? In other words, they're not going to be able to do it themselves. It's a heavy, large stone. Now, as they reach the tomb, the sun is just beginning to rise and it becomes clear to them that the stone is already moved out of the way. Mary upon looking at the stone out of the way, looking at the opening immediately concludes that someone has stolen the body and despair once again grips Mary's heart. John chapter 20 verse two and she ran and she came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved and said to them, they've taken away the Lord out of the tomb and we do not know where they have laid him. On point three on your notes, we examine the responsive faith of both Peter and John in verses three through 10. Peter and John both come to differing conclusions about what they see. We saw later how the theology of the resurrection having been made clear by the spirit of God takes root and fuels their faith, fuels their faith. Once cowardly Peter and John, the other disciples become bold as lions. Once fearful, now they're full of faith and power and we see that in the text of scripture. The narrative now after verse 10, the narrative now turns back to its emphasis upon the experience of Mary in verse 11. As we look at point four on your notes and Mary's challenged faith, Mary's challenged faith in verses 11 through 15. Read with me at verse 11. But Mary stood outside by the tomb weeping and as she wept she stooped down and looked into the tomb and she saw two angels in white sitting one at the head and the other at the feet where the body of Jesus had lain. And then they said to her, woman, why are you weeping? She said to them, because they've taken away my Lord and I do not know where they have laid him. Now when she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there and did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her verse 15, woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking? And she, supposing him to be the gardener said to him, sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him and I will take him away. So Mary, Mary sets out before sunrise on Sunday, the first day of the week. It's a day that would come to be known as the Lord's day, this day. And that's in light of the resurrection. She sets out before sunrise on Sunday, the first day of the week in verse one. It's her love for the Lord, right? It's her love for him and it's the love that he had for her that drives her back to the tomb. She is bitterly grieving, bitterly grieving, sorrowing over what she believes to be the loss of the Lord Jesus Christ. On her first trip to the tomb that day, early in the morning, she finds the stone rolled away and then runs back to tell Peter and John in verse two. This then in verse 11 is Mary's second trip to the tomb. It's her second trip to the tomb. It's the profound sense of loss.  The profound sense of loss, maybe unanswered questions, her love, devotion for the Lord. The sorrow that has filled her heart, not knowing what else to do at this point, she's back to the tomb now again a second time. There are three specific ways in verses 11 through 15 that we see Mary's faith here challenged. Hers is a challenged faith. First, Mary's faith is challenged by unbelief. It's challenged by unbelief. Secondly, it's challenged by reproof or rebuke. And thirdly, it's challenged by ignorance. Mary's faith here is a challenged faith. We're going to see Mary's faith pass the test though. First, I want you to see verse 11 challenged. Her faith is challenged by unbelief. In verse 11, she stands now outside by the tomb weeping. The word there, the Greek word is Clio. It means weeping loudly. She was wailing. She was wailing, crying aloud, sobbing. There's despair that has filled Mary's heart. Mary is a picture here of tremendous sorrow, grief, helpless, right? A despairing sorrow. She's there. She's there at the cross. Isn't she witnessing the Lord's death? And now she's there at the tomb and a final piercing, if it were, of Mary's heart is this realization that she's come to in her own mind that they've stolen his body away. They've stolen his body away. Now bear in mind again, bear in mind what fuels her grief? What fuels this again, this second trip back to the tomb? It's her love for the Lord Jesus Christ, right? She loves the Lord. It's love that fuels her devotion. It's her love for the Lord that drives her back to the tomb and it's love that is displayed in Mary's tears. Unlike many others that have and will, what's pictured here in the example of Mary is that Mary's not left her first love. Even in death, even after the Lord's death, Mary has not left her first love. The Lord in Mary's heart occupies a place of preeminence. He reigns supreme in Mary's heart. Because he reigns supreme in Mary's heart, the Lord reigns supreme in her affections, reigns supreme in her desires, reigns supreme in her life, in her faith. He has taken dominion over her heart. He rules there. And what's her ongoing response to that? When the Lord reigns supreme in your heart, when he fills your affections, when he fills your mind, what's your desire? Your desire is to seek him. Isn't it? Your desire is to be with him, to worship him, to love him, to praise him, to seek his presence. Mary, even after the Lord now has died, she believes his body to be in the tomb. She wants to be near him. She wants to seek him. She does so before the sun comes up because the Lord occupies a place of preeminence in Mary's heart. Is that you this morning? Does that describe your heart? Many, many, many say, they say that they love the Lord.  It's hypocritical to say that. Heart that truly loves the Lord is a heart that is wholly devoted to him. A heart that knows the Lord, has a knowledge of the Lord Christ in your heart. You know the Lord, you are devoted to the Lord. The person who isn't wholly devoted to the Lord, the one in whom has a heart where the Lord does not reign supreme is the person that does not love the Lord. Mary here is a picture of someone who loves the Lord. And listen, the Lord loved her. The Lord saved her.  She's at the tomb because she loves the Lord. We're going to see as we work through the text of the Lord. The Lord now lingers at the tomb. Why? Because he loves Mary. He loves Mary. You know, a heartbreaking example of this is seen in the history of Old Testament Israel. Turn back to Jeremiah chapter two with me. Jeremiah chapter two. Have you lost your first love this morning? Maybe you're here this morning and you'll acknowledge you've never loved the Lord like that. You've never loved the Lord like that. Do you love the Lord?  If you love the Lord, it's going to show up. Look at Jeremiah chapter two and look, beginning with me at verse one. Again, this is an example of Old Testament Israel and what does the Lord say about their affections and about their departure from him? Look at verse one. Moreover, the word of the Lord came to me saying, he's saying to Jeremiah. Jeremiah has been called as a prophet and he's going to bear witness to the people of Israel. He says to them verse two, the Lord says to Jeremiah, go and cry in the hearing of Jerusalem saying, thus says the Lord. He says, I remember you. I remember the kindness of your youth. I remember the love of your betrothal when you went after me in the wilderness in a land not sown. Israel was holiness separated to the Lord. The fruits of his increase, all that devour him will offend, disaster will come upon them, says the Lord. In other words, I remember when you loved me. I remember what it was like when you first set out following the Lord, right? When your heart was on fire for me, when you sought me, when you came after me, when you loved me. I remember that espousal, the love of your betrothal to me. Make the application, right? I remember when you first said you wanted to follow the Lord. I remember when you first came, confessing your sin, weeping and mourning over your offenses against God. I remember when you came and you pleaded my forgiveness for your rebellion. I remember when you set out. I remember that love that you professed and now your heart has grown cold. Now it's distant. I remember when you were wedded to me. I remember when I occupied a place of preeminence in your heart, a place of preeminence in your affections. You were separated to me, God said. You were a holiness to the Lord. You had consecrated yourself to me. Look at verse four. Hear the word of the Lord, O house of Jacob. Hear the word of the Lord, all the families of the house of Israel. Thus says the Lord. What injustice have your fathers found in me that they have gone far from me, have followed idols and have become idolaters? Neither did they say where is the Lord who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, who led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and pits, through a land of drought, the shadow of death. In other words, have I not done good to you? Has it not have been a blessing to you? This is a picture, this is a picture of someone who has left their first love, of someone who has taken the goodness and kindness and grace and mercy of our God for granted. Now in taking it for granted, they just depart Israel in this chapter, departs, and God asked them, listen, what fault have you found in me that you would leave me that way? What injustice have you seen in me? They used to say, they used to say, this is the Lord our God who brought us up out of bondage in Egypt. They don't say that anymore. Their heart has grown cold. Look at verse 13. My people, God says, my people have committed two evils. They have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters. They have hewn themselves, cisterns, broken cisterns that can hold no water. They're putting their faith, their trust, their love, their affections on those things which are empty and worthless. Back in John chapter 20, Mary is not forsaken the Lord. She's not forsaken the Lord, even in death, she's there at his tomb, right? And Mary's love, Mary's devotion is emphasized here. We also have to note from the text that Mary's faith is plagued here by unbelief. As much as she loves the Lord, as much as she is devoted to the Lord, her faith is plagued by unbelief. Jesus had told the disciples on several occasions that he would rise from the dead, and yet Mary is here at the tomb weeping as those who have no hope. She's weeping like Mary and Martha after the death of Lazarus, right? Mary is seen following the Lord after her salvation in Luke chapter eight. By Luke chapter nine, the Lord tells them, Mary included, right?  Lord tells them clearly. You see here, in the text, Mary fully expects the worst. She certainly doesn't expect the resurrection and this isn't, this isn't damning unbelief. At this point, she's like the father of the possessed son in Mark chapter nine, right? Lord, I believe, help my unbelief, right? She needs, she has a faith that needs to be informed, a faith that needs to grow, a faith that needs to mature. That's going to come through the realization of the resurrection. So verse 11, John chapter 20 verse 11, Mary stood outside by the tomb weeping and as she wept, she stooped down and looked into the tomb. Apparently here in verse 11, for the first time, Mary stooped down and looks inside the tomb. What does she see? Verse 12, she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. Mark and Luke both describe these two angels as young men in white, right?  It's likely she couldn't tell who they were or what they were, but it's apparent that along with the disciples, God bears witness to the risen Lord through the words of these angels. God is bearing witness at the tomb. The book of Hebrews describes angels as ministering spirits, sent forth the minister to those who will inherit salvation and hear these two angels in verse 12 ministering to Mary in the garden. Verse 13, they said to her, woman, why are you weeping? She said to them, because they have taken away my Lord and I do not know where they have laid him. So in Mary's mind, in her heart right now, no thought of the resurrection, she doesn't remember his words at this point. From verse 9, we know that Mary, nor the other disciples, know the scriptures that he must rise again. She simply doesn't believe it. She doesn't believe that Jesus Christ has risen from the dead. She expects the worst. The only thing in her mind that can explain the empty tomb is that someone has stolen the body. In other words, she doesn't understand anything yet. His death, his burial now is missing body and this despair, this sorrow that fills her heart now is the fruit of unbelief. She needs her faith informed, her faith needs to be strengthened. It's going to be strengthened by the resurrection. So we see point one, Mary's faith is challenged by unbelief, but secondly, Mary's faith is then challenged by reproof, by reproof. Look at verse 13. Verse 13, then they, the angels, they said to her, woman, why are you weeping? Look at verse 14. And when she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there and did not know that it was Jesus. You know, her tears have blinded her, her despair has blinded her, her doubts have blinded her, her unbelief has blinded her, and she doesn't realize that it's him. But Jesus said to her, verse 15, the same questions, right? With an added one, woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking? And notice the two questions asked of Mary. Woman, why are you weeping? And then Jesus adds in verse 15, whom are you seeking? Now you have to ask ourselves, right? Is that because the angels or Jesus didn't know why she was weeping? Were they asking because they were confused by her crying? No. It wasn't a request for information, right? The questions aren't a request for an explanation. The questions are subtle and gentle reproofs of Mary's unbelief. It's a subtle reproof, a subtle rebuke. Her sorrow here, her grief, they're irrational. Jesus has been raised from the dead. We read that last week in the account of Luke, right? That the disciples hiding in the room, Jesus appears to them and rebukes them for their unbelief. Here, we have a gentle, a loving, a faithful, but a gentle rebuke of Mary's unbelief. Why are you weeping as if he's dead? Are you seeking the Lord in a grave? He's not here. He's risen. We often require gentle rebukes, sometimes not so gentle. We require not so gentle rebukes. Why are you discouraged? The brother comes alongside, right? Why are you discouraged? Why are you apathetic? Why don't you love the brothers? Why aren't you committed to the church? Why don't you love the Lord more? Why aren't you more committed to Christ than his cause? Why aren't you more faithful in evangelism? It's a rebuke of your unbelief. It's a gentle, sometimes not so gentle, loving, patient and necessary rebuke. You and I need that, right? You and I need that. Many of you, and I have the same experience with churches in our past. Some of you may come from churches where you're absolutely not used to that, never experienced that before. But listen, we need that. And the Lord in his wisdom, in his grace and in his mercy has orchestrated all the pieces and parts of the body together, such that we get the exhortation and the reproof and the rebuke and the correction that we need to live the Christian life and persevere to the end and be saved. Some run from correction and they go to a church where that correction is not offered, or it's not part of the life and health and vitality of the body of Christ. It's like going to a doctor, right? Well, listen, I choose that doctor because that doctor always tells me exactly what I want to hear. That's a recipe for disaster, right? Don't worry about that large lump in your abdomen.  No, you need to go somewhere where there is a loving willingness on the part of the people from the word of God to sometimes tell you difficult things, tell you what you need to hear, not only always what you want to hear. I pray by the grace of God that it doesn't come out of the pulpit in this church and it doesn't come out of the pew in this church, so to speak, where that's the case and we just with sort of cotton candy brush over those things which need to be, we don't want to be superficial with you and we don't want you to be superficial with us.  In the text, this unbelief, Mary's unbelief becomes even more clear in verse 15. In verse 15, verse 15 continues, she supposing him to be the gardener said to him, sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him and I will take him away. So one, Mary's faith challenged by unbelief, Mary's faith number two challenged by reproof. Here, Mary's faith challenged by ignorance. Mary supposes him to be the gardener. Now, incidentally, and very interesting, if you're interested in biblical theology and I hope you are, it's interesting to me that he's buried in a garden. Interesting that his first appearance as the resurrected second atom is in a garden. He's mistaken by one of his most devoted disciples to be the gardener. All these connections coming to fruition here. He is the first fruits and through his redemptive plans and purposes. The Lord, the Lord is leading us back. It's the whole plan and purpose of God in redeeming his people to lead us back to unfettered, glorious communion with God in the garden, in a garden paradise. That's where we're headed, brother and sister, and I am looking forward to that day. Mary though, Mary would have understood nothing of the significance of her circumstances. As she stands there at the tomb, she doesn't understand any of these things, certainly not the resurrection, certainly not the theological significance of the resurrection. She mistakes Jesus here for the gardener. She's so preoccupied by her sense of loss, right?   The empty tomb, the empty tomb here, a place for sorrow in the heart and mind of Mary. You and I on this side of all that glorious revelation, it's a place of rejoicing. It's a cause for worship, a cause for praise. What was an object of sorrow and despair for Mary and those disciples now becomes an object of glory for you and I. So Mary's faith at this point is weak. Mary's faith is insufficient. It's defective. And Mary, having followed the Lord Jesus Christ over the years, now presuming Jesus to be someone other than he is presuming him to be the gardener. That's true of many today. Many presume Jesus Christ to be someone other than he is, not that Jesus Christ described in the scriptures. And many have claimed to follow him and they're following some other Christ. They presume that the Lord Jesus Christ is forgiving and all forgiving with absolutely no consideration given for his holiness or his justice. They live in their sin and think to themselves, the Lord Jesus Christ is just going to forgive me, right? The Lord Jesus Christ is simply going to forgive me. Even that statement is inconsistent. If you're living in your sin, consider both the goodness and the severity of God, right? They presume him to be loving with absolutely no respect to his wrath or his hatred for everything that offends. They don't consider the obvious implications of the cross, right? Or justice and mercy, kiss. It's a fearful thing. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. There's so many with these weak, high in the sky platitudes that think that somehow, because Jesus Christ is all loving that despite the cross, despite his holiness, despite his justice, despite his wrath, despite his promised future judgment, they're okay to live as they want to live. No, he is the Lord Jesus Christ and it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Our God is a consuming fire, not a simple gardener. Our God is a consuming fire. If you think that way, right, and there are many, we encounter many who do, I'm a sinner, but God forgives, right? He's just going to forgive. He might as well be the gardener to you. You're not worshiping the Lord Jesus Christ. You're worshiping a genie in a bottle. You're worshiping some empty wish, some empty hope. But he's not your Lord and Savior unless you turn from your sin and trust yourself to him with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. Submit yourself to him as Lord and follow him by faith. Let no one deceive you. God is not mocked. Whatever a man sows, that will he also reap. As Mary's ignorance here in John chapter 20 is replaced by understanding. As her understanding and her knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ grows, as it matures, so does her love, so does her devotion, and so does her faith. Her faith grows and matures. Seek the Lord while he may be found, right? Seek him diligently and you'll find him and your faith will be matured. So we've seen Mary's challenged faith. Point five on your notes. Let's take a look at Mary's fueled faith, a fueled faith beginning in verse 16. Her faith is fueled in light of the resurrection. Verse 16, Jesus said to her, Mary, she turned to him and said, Roboni, which is to say teacher. Jesus said to her, verse 17, do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to my father, but go to my brethren and say to them, I am ascending to my father and your father and to my God and your God. I want you to see now how Mary's encounter with the risen Lord fuels Mary's faith. And that comes through two things. It comes through revelation and it comes through response. Revelation of himself to Mary and the response of Mary. Let's take a look first at Revelation verse 16. Mary lingers at the tomb because she loves the Lord Jesus Christ. As we've already said, the Lord Jesus Christ is lingering there at the tomb because he loves Mary and intends to reveal himself to her. She was there in hopelessness. The Lord Jesus Christ is there to give her hope. She was there seeking the dead body of her Lord. He was risen and living and there to reveal himself to her in his resurrection. One word makes all the difference in Mary's heart and mind. One word. One word brought her from sorrow to joy, from despair to hope, and that was her name on the lips of the Lord Jesus Christ. He says to her in verse 16, Mary, Mary, right? John chapter 10, verse three, Jesus says to him, the doorkeeper opens and the sheep hear his voice and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them and the sheep follow him. Why? Because they know his voice. They know his voice. Verse 27, the same chapter, John chapter 10. My sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow me. You can imagine, right? Mary's heard her name from the mouth of the Lord Jesus Christ many times before. He's called her by name, Mary. This time, just like all the others, he states her name. And you can imagine, right? The tenderness, the warmth, the love with which the Lord Jesus Christ said her name, Mary. Just like he had called Lazarus out of the tomb. States Lazarus' name at the tomb to bring him from death to life. Now at his empty tomb, he calls Mary by name, brings her from darkness to light. A genuine Christian, a genuine Christian understands here what the Lord means in John chapter 10 by that statement, my sheep hear my voice. This is simply in John chapter 20, a good picture of that principle. His sheep hear his voice and they respond to him in faith. They follow him. Those sheep that are not his pay no heed to his voice and they don't follow him. So what's Mary's response here? We looked at the revelation. What's her response? Verse 16, Rabboni, which is to say teacher. And then she falls at his feet, clinging to him. And we remember from Luke's account of this that after Jesus, Lord Jesus Christ appears to Mary at the empty tomb, he appears to the women who are now on their way back to tell the disciples. What was the response of those women in Luke, Luke 24? They fell at his feet and they clung to his feet. They grabbed him by the feet, would let him go. This is what Mary is doing here. She falls at his feet. She clings to him. To the one who is not his sheep, he might as well be the gardener. His voice is one of many others. In fact, his voice generally only serves to provoke in them rebellion in their natural heart. Paul says that the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God for they are foolishness to him. They can't know them because those things are spiritually discerned. The genuine believer, again, looking at this principle, the genuine believer hears his voice revealed in the pages of Scripture. And the genuine believer falls at his feet, clinging to Christ. You see? Clinging to his teaching, clinging to his truth. His words are like apples of gold in settings of silver. They're devoted to him. His word is the joy and rejoicing of their heart, just like that word was the joy and rejoicing of Mary's heart at the empty tomb. And the genuine believer follows the Lord, follows the Lord. If you're here today, and these things just sound like foolishness to you, you need a new heart. If these things don't make sense to you, listen, they're not going to. They are spiritually discerned and you need the Spirit of God.  And listen, you will perish unless you submit that stiff-necked, hard-hearted rebellion and you submit yourself to the Lord Jesus Christ and follow him. Turn from your sin. Turn from your sin. This is the Lord Jesus Christ. You see Mary's love, Mary's devotion. You see here Mary's loving, devoted, faith-filled response to the Word of the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus said to her, verse 17, Do not cling to me, for I've not yet ascended to my Father. There are several different explanations given for this statement. Let me give you the one that carries the most weight, right? Just simple, straightforward, practical. Some translations say, stop touching me. Clinging is a better translation, right? She is clinging to him. Mary clings to him and she doesn't let go, as if she doesn't want him to ever leave again, right? He has left her in death at the cross. He is buried. So when Mary sees him again, she clings to him. She doesn't want him to go anywhere. She doesn't want to lose him again. The Lord Jesus Christ essentially says to her, okay, Mary, listen, you can stop clinging to me. I haven't left yet. I'm not leaving again yet. I'm not disappearing again right away because I've not yet ascended to my Father. Besides now is not the time to cling to me around the feet. You've got a job to do. Look at verse 17, the second half of verse 17 there. Mary, you're to go to my brethren and say to them, I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and to your God. Now isn't the time, Mary, for sentimental clinging this, you know, we've got work to do. And the first thing that she is called to do, the first thing she is called to do is to be a herald for the risen Christ. Her first responsibility, go to, and notice that he says here, my brethren, my brethren. That's interesting, isn't it? Mary knows that he doesn't mean his physical brothers. Mary knows what he means. He means the disciples. And what the Lord is calling to here, making reference to, is a new family relationship that arises as a result of his finished work on the cross and his resurrection from the dead. Mary might have said, right, go to those who are hiding in a faithless fear, right, in a room somewhere right now. Yes, Mary, those are my brothers, Lord would say, to those who fled in unbelief in the garden when you were arrested. Yes, Mary, those same disciples, those are my brothers. To those who often fail, will continue to fail. Those who are born in sin under the law, born in Adam. Yes, Mary, those are the ones I've redeemed by my blood. Those are my brothers.  Hebrews 2, 11, right?  We certainly deserve the shame, don't we? But he says he's not ashamed, not ashamed to call us brothers. And he communicates that, the closeness of that relationship in verse 17, where he says, my father and your father, to my God and your God. What a glorious thought, right? He's at the same time, listen, verse 17, at the same time he's communicating that closeness, we are brothers of the Lord Jesus Christ. And he's not ashamed to call us brothers. At the same time, he's also referencing a distance, isn't he? He doesn't say our father and our God. He says, my father and your father, my God and your God. It clarifies, doesn't it, our understanding of the way in which we are brothers and the way in which we are related to him. Christ is eternally begotten of the Father, the eternal generation of the Son. Christ is one for whom equality with God is not a thing to be grasped, right? Philippians chapter two. We are adopted sons. We're born again in time, not eternally generated, born again in time. There's a, there's a qualitative difference, a qualitative difference. And the Lord Jesus Christ in verse 17 is very careful to communicate that difference, my father and your father, my God and your God. They would now, right after the resurrection, they would now look back on the cross, not as defeat, but as victory. And Jesus Christ would ascend to the Father, sit at his right hand, intercede there for his own, having accomplished the, the finished work of atoning for our sins on the cross. He is there now, his living presence there now is the security that you and I have that all the promised benefits of salvation to his people, to you and I are yes and amen in him. He intercedes for his own. And lastly, point six on your notes. We see then Mary's living faith in verse 18, Mary's living faith in verse 18. Mary Magdalene came and she told the disciples that she had seen the Lord and that he had spoken these things to her from mourner to missionary, right? From a dying virtually lifeless, sorrowful, despairing faith prior to the resurrection to a living, vibrant, bold, courageous faith after the resurrection. You have to think about and contrast, if you're considering these things, the direction their lives were taking prior to the resurrection, after the death of Christ and prior to the resurrection. Again, the disciples are hiding, huddled in houses, fear, fearing the Jews. The trajectory of their lives after the resurrection takes them on a course of bold, courageous, uncompromising witness to the Lord Jesus Christ. They're preaching the gospel. They're preaching the resurrection, the implications of the resurrection, and they preach that to their deaths.  They die for the Lord Jesus Christ.  And listen, this is coincident with the duty of every genuine believer. It is in verse 18, both the duty of and the natural response of Mary, who has now encountered the risen Christ, it's both her duty and natural response to make that known. You know, it's interesting in verse 18, would Mary, apart from the command of Christ in verse 18, would Mary have gone and told the disciples everything that she had seen? Yes, it was just, she would have run, run back as fast as she could and told everybody that she saw what she had saw, what the Lord had said. It was her natural response. It's also her duty, given by command in verse 18. He's not ashamed to call us brethren, but there are many who profess to be a brother of his that are ashamed to preach his name, to serve him as Lord, to preach him as Lord. It's our responsibility, just like Mary's in verse 18, our responsibility to be heralds for Christ, be heralds for Christ. We see their transformed faith, right? Again, two things that work here in John chapter 20. There's evidence for the empty tomb. There's evidence for the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. There are eyewitnesses that are brought to bear. There's history that is brought to bear. Our faith is not an empty faith. It's not founded or grounded in air. It's grounded on the bedrock of historical events, the bedrock of the work of the Lord Jesus Christ, the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. Our faith is not an empty faith. All that evidence is brought to bear. And with that then, we are to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, who himself was risen from the dead and the one whom raises from the dead were to believe on him and believing we are to follow him in faith. You see the impact of all that historical evidence? Then you see the impact, the spirit of God at work in the heart of the believer, applying the truths of the gospel, the truth, the reality of the resurrection, applying that to the heart and the mind of the believer such that their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is transformed. Their faith is matured. Their faith is fueled. Their faith is emboldened. The spirit of God through the word of God making sure to give us the fuel that we need for our faith to live faithfully for him. You trust him. You trust him. We have every reason to. When you feel weak, when you are tempted to despair, look upon Christ, the resurrected Lord. Stand there at the empty tomb with all the disciples throughout the centuries who've done so and proclaim he is risen. Amen. All glory, praise, and honor worship be to the risen Christ.


Hi everyone, welcome to Stardust Gold Crochet. Today we're going to do these cute little friendship bracelets. I'm using a four millimeter hook and cashmere de cotton, which is really great. It's a hundred percent cash or ten percent cashmere and a hundred percent cotton. And so this is so easy. You're gonna love it and I made my friend a friendship bracelet this weekend and it was awesome. So first we're going to go ahead and we're going to create your slipknot and then you're going to chain 34. I'm going to speed it up here. So now I have 34 and this is a really simple pattern. So I just kind of pinched this my last chain and then I'm going to go ahead and chain three. Then the pinched one you're going to skip that one and in the next one you're going to work a double crochet and you're going to work another one in the next stitch and then another one in the next. So three base three double crochets. Then you're going to go back to that skipped stitch and do a long single crochet. If you're not familiar with a long single crochet, they're really simple. You just, I kind of hook it because going backwards at that angle is awkward for me. You just insert your hook, yarn over and pull it up just like you're doing a spike stitch except for this one is working diagonally and it kind of encloses all of those double crochets that we did there. So then you're going to skip this next stitch and work three more double crochets, one in each of the next three stitches or three chains after your skipped stitch. Then you're going to go back into the skipped stitch and work a long single crochet and this repeats and you want to kind of make it as loose as possible. Otherwise they bunch up a little bit, but the bunching looks kind of cute too. It's preference I suppose. So let's work the rest of these and I'm going to go ahead and speed up the video so you, and then when we get to the end, it's just slightly different than what we've been doing. Well, it looks like I miscounted, but that's okay. If you did too, that's quite all right. That's why crochet is so fun. Unless you're making a garment, it can be remedied. So instead, normally what would be here is a skip stitch plus you work a double crochet into the very last one. But because I skipped a stitch or didn't chain the right amount at the beginning, I'm just going to go ahead and I'm going to work a double crochet into that last stitch. And there you are. So you're finished. So you want to leave kind of a little bit of a long tail so that you can cut it.  And then you have your friendship bracelet.  And they're super cute. I made a whole bunch in bunches of different colors using the same yarn. I'm sure any DK weight yarn would work great for these in your face. Favorite yarn. So I really hope you enjoyed this video.
