1. 0:00I think that the biggest, most
2. 0:02controversial question about the New
3. 0:04Testament,
4. 0:06did Jesus resurrect from the dead?
5. 0:09>> Paul, he was on his way to persecute the
6. 0:12church further. He had authorization to
7. 0:15bring Christians into court and for
8. 0:18their condemnation when
9. 0:19>> [music]
10. 0:19>> he was thrown from his horse and the
11. 0:23Lord spoke to him, appeared to him and
12. 0:25said to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you
13. 0:27persecute me?"
14. 0:31He He was blind from the moment [music]
15. 0:33of the apparition and as soon as he was
16. 0:36uh baptized, something like scales fell
17. 0:38from his eyes and he could see again.
18. 0:40And he becomes the great teacher of the
19. 0:43faith.
20. 0:47>> [music]
21. 0:50>> Even more importantly, freeing people
22. 0:52from
23. 0:53demons.
24. 0:54We find this in the gospel that
25. 0:58the people who
26. 0:59some way had been uh Satan had taken
27. 1:02hold of them. They encountered our Lord,
28. 1:04they immediately he had power over them.
29. 1:09Our Lord freed individuals from the
30. 1:11demons.
31. 1:13They didn't want to accept that the
32. 1:16Messiah was not an earthly ruler.
33. 1:20Wasn't somebody who had come to to make
34. 1:23everybody rich or to to to make
35. 1:26everybody politically free, but [music]
36. 1:28that he'd come to uh to save us from
37. 1:31sin. That is his victory was the was
38. 1:34over sin and and over
39. 1:36evil.
40. 1:41>> Does the New Testament make the Old
41. 1:43Testament's laws obsolete? Is this a new
42. 1:48way to live?
43. 1:49>> The New Testament brings to fulfillment
44. 1:52everything that is
45. 1:54taught, everything that happened in the
46. 1:56Old Testament finds its fulfillment, but
47. 1:59that's not a cancellation.
48. 2:02A woman would
49. 2:04bear a son who
50. 2:06would crush the head of Satan.
51. 2:08>> If we say he will come again to judge
52. 2:11both the living and the dead. [music]
53. 2:12>> Yes.
54. 2:14>> What does that mean if our souls
55. 2:15immediately go to judgment?
56. 2:18>> When he [music] comes at the end of the
57. 2:19time, some people will still be on
58. 2:22Earth.
59. 2:22>> Adam and Eve were supposed to live
60. 2:24forever. [music] Correct?
61. 2:25Were they supposed to live forever?
62. 2:27>> they would have lived forever in the
63. 2:28friendship of God. It was through their
64. 2:30sin that death came into the world.
65. 2:32>> So, if when Christ came, it was to
66. 2:35forgive us for all of our sins. All sins
67. 2:37can
68. 2:37>> And then so that we could [music] live
69. 2:38forever.
70. 2:40>> So, why are we not living forever?
71. 2:43>> One of the mocked Lord and the other one
72. 2:45whom we call Dismas, the good thief,
73. 2:47said to Jesus, "Lord, remember me when
74. 2:49you come into your kingdom."
75. 2:51And our Lord said, "Today you will be
76. 2:53with me in paradise."
77. 2:59>> [music]
78. 3:05>> So, the woman who had had hemorrhage
79. 3:07[music] for 30 years, she just touched
80. 3:10the hem of his garment and she was
81. 3:12[music] healed
82. 3:14because she had strong faith. She
83. 3:15believed that he could heal her.
84. 3:18When the Centurion came to ask our Lord
85. 3:20[music] to to come to heal his son,
86. 3:23our Lord said, "Well, come and do it."
87. 3:25He [music] said, "No, I'm not worthy
88. 3:26that you should enter under my roof.
89. 3:28Just say the word. All you have to do is
90. 3:31say the [music] word and my son will be
91. 3:33healed." And and indeed that's
92. 3:36what happened. Our Lord
93. 3:39recognized his strong [music] faith,
94. 3:40"Sure,
95. 3:41your son is healed." And the Centurion
96. 3:44on his way home met the servants who
97. 3:47told him that it
98. 3:48the healing took place.
99. 3:54>> [music]
100. 3:59[music]
101. 4:02>> There are 27 books in the New Testament.
102. 4:05The The conclusion of the Bible is the
103. 4:08Book of Revelation or what's called the
104. 4:10Apocalypse.
105. 4:11This is a vision that Saint Saint John
106. 4:14has. He has his gospel, he has three
107. 4:15letters, and then the Apocalypse is a
108. 4:18vision he had while living on the island
109. 4:21of Patmos.
110. 4:22Uh and it's a vision of the final times.
111. 4:27>> How does it end?
112. 4:28>> The Our Lord himself
113. 4:31descends to Earth.
114. 4:32>> In the flesh and blood?
115. 4:33>> Yes, but glorified. Remember that the
116. 4:36time of his resurrection is And this is
117. 4:38somewhat of a mystery to us. We don't
118. 4:40understand how it is. It is his body,
119. 4:43but it's his glorified body. For
120. 4:44instance, he can pass from one place to
121. 4:48another without using a door.
122. 4:54>> You know, a lot of people are
123. 4:56scared of
124. 4:58the end times.
125. 4:59>> Yes.
126. 4:59>> Should they be?
127. 5:03>> No, if one is living
128. 5:05>> [music]
129. 5:06>> striving to live a good and just life,
130. 5:08there's nothing
131. 5:10about which to be afraid. Our Lord comes
132. 5:13to save
133. 5:14uh all that is good and [music] to
134. 5:17save the just.
135. 5:21People are oftentimes wanting to predict
136. 5:23when the world will come [music] to an
137. 5:24end. They asked Our Lord,
138. 5:27and he said, "We shouldn't be worried
139. 5:29about that. That's the concern of God
140. 5:31the Father. [music] He will bring the
141. 5:32world
142. 5:34to an end when the time is right, when
143. 5:36the master returns, [music]
144. 5:38ready to receive him."
145. 5:43When Our Lord comes to restore
146. 5:45everything to the Father,
147. 5:47it will be back in Eden. And as you were
148. 5:51saying earlier on, Adam and Eve were
149. 5:53meant to live forever.
150. 5:55We will be in in that state where we
151. 5:57will live forever. There will be no more
152. 5:59sin or death.
153. 6:03>> [music]
