if you have your Bibles I do want to
read in the New Testament Luke 24 now on
the first day of the week very early in
the morning certain other women came
with them to the tomb bringing the
spices which they had prepared turned to
somebody and say so that’s the Spice
Girls and they found the stone and
rolled and it was rolled away from the
tomb and they went in listened and did
not find the body of the Lord Jesus and
it happened as they were greatly
perplexed about this that behold two men
stood by them in shining garments which
tells me it wasn’t men it was angels
then as they were afraid and bowed their
faces to the earth they said to them
what a great question why do you seek
the living among the dead he is not here
but he is risen remember how he spoke to
you when he was at still in Galilee
saying the Son of Man must be delivered
in the hands of sinful men and be
crucified and on the third day rise
again and then they remembered his words
a great great preacher who has gone on
to be with the Lord left a legacy of two
remarkable sermons one of the sermons
that became quite famous from dr. SM
Lockridge he was an african-american
pastor and preacher so leader in the
civil rights movement marched with dr.
King but even more notable than that was
his ability to preach Jesus from the
pulpit he had a famous sermon that was
called that’s my king and it became
world-famous and whether you realize it
or not you’ve heard it you’ve heard bits
and pieces of it there’s not a preacher
in the nation that hasn’t taken some of
it at some point
and if they if they haven’t they’re just
young and haven’t discovered it yet but
it’s a remarkable remarkable sermon then
his second sermon that became famous
that sometimes someone will say
something and it becomes something that
lives for generations and that’s what’s
happened with his second sermon it was
called it’s Friday but Sunday’s coming
he was right he was preaching Calvary
was Friday but Sunday’s coming but I
want to preach good news today that is
Sunday and Jesus is coming just like he
said he would he’s coming again the sky
grew dark the earth began to tremble
what a horrible horrible thing that was
heard as Jesus uttered from the cross my
father my father why have you forsaken
me the veil was torn in the temple Jesus
hanging on the cross heaven is weeping
hell is rejoicing the perfect man Jesus
Christ is dying a hideous death on the
cross Satan thought he had destroyed
Jesus on Friday Satan thought that the
battle was won for hell on Friday but
three days later a mighty angel was
dispatched from heaven he rolled the
stone away and Jesus Christ stepped out
of that tomb when he died on the cross
he was a silent lamb but when he rose
from the dead and stepped out of that
tomb he was no longer a silent lamb he
was the Lion of the tribe of Judah and
he was roaring with resurrection power
and today the message is he is not here
in that tomb he is risen
it’s Sunday and our Savior has
humiliated hail our Savior has outwitted
Satan he has overpowered the grave he
has called sin
to bow its knee he has defeated the
strategies of Heil against you and
against your family
he has taken your sin and your shame and
he is pronounced that you are forgiven
and you are a child of the Most High God
it’s Sunday and Jesus is coming again
do you believe that same in somebody the
trumpet is gonna sound there is going to
come a change in the moment in the
twinkling of an eye we’ll be caught up
together to meet the Lord in the air
it’s Sunday but Jesus is coming I love
that line that s film Lockridge said he
said the world is winning people are
sinning and evil is grinning but I want
to say it’s Sunday they may be grinning
and winning and sinning but Jesus is
coming and we better be ready we better
get our hearts ready we better get our
families ready because he’s coming soon
he’s coming soon you can’t take half the
gospel and it doesn’t in at the tune
he’s coming soon I’ve read the back of
the book and his Sunday but Jesus is
coming I want you to know that we don’t
celebrate a resurrection only that
happened 2,000 years ago but we
celebrate another resurrection that is
coming for those who have died in the
Lord your mothers your fathers your
children your sons your husband’s your
wives people that you love people that
you miss people that you think about and
you couldn’t help but see before me my
father’s face flash this gone on to be
with the Lord my brother’s face came
before me and other ones my grandfather
people that I’ve loved and people in
this church that that I preached their
funeral but one of these days the
trumpet is going to sound and we’re
going to a land where there is no more
death no more crying no more sign no
more
for the former things will be passed
away and I want to remind Satan that one
angel is going to chain him and throw
him in a bottomless pit and ultimately
he’s gonna burn in the lake of fire that
I’ll never go to because Jesus is alive
it’s Sunday but Jesus is coming give him
a praise if you believe it
give him a mighty praise right now
hallelujah
Calvary was a tremendous temporary
victory for Satan and all of Hell it’s a
true story about the war between England
and France Napoleon had invaded England
and everyone knew in that nation of
England that if they didn’t make a stand
and stop Napoleon at a place called
Waterloo the whole nation would fall
they would all go into captivity so the
Battle of Waterloo became critical the
British captain was named Wellington he
was overall the armed forces that would
fight Napoleon and his powerful army
they had never been defeated back then
they had signalman that would stand on
mountains and they would send signals
from mountaintop to mountaintop from
signalman one to another until they
reached the City of London there in
London thousands upon thousands of
people back in those days the only form
of communication they erected a big
billboard as massive as they could see
so that everybody in the streets of
London could look up and see how the
battle had ended at Waterloo they knew
if Wellington had been defeated at
Waterloo then the battle was over and
they were going to become slaves to
Napoleon and his armies so they waited
watching and the signal started coming
from the bow
filled how the battle had gone and just
as it would happen this is a true story
the fog started setting in as if you’ve
ever been there to London it can come
suddenly out of nowhere and as the man
was riding on the billboard with red
paint he wrote these words and then the
fog came and it covered
but all they could see was two words
that he wrote Wellington defeated
Wellington defeated the people of London
their hearts sank in fear many began to
tremble and cry and some ran to their
homes and lock the doors and others
stood in the streets dumbfounded
heartbroken realizing that their nation
would never be the same
Wellington defeated was the message but
as some were still standing in the
streets the fog began to lift some time
later and someone happened to look up
and they realised that the message had
been obscured in its entirety one word
was missing it said Wellington defeated
and the word missing was Napoleon nobody
knew it didn’t looked like it and now
suddenly the weeping turned into
rejoicing suddenly the people realize
that that Napoleon didn’t defeat our
general but our general defeated
Napoleon and they were rejoicing and
they were stansson in the streets 2,000
years ago on the cross when they put
Jesus crammed that crown of thorns on
his head and stabbed him in his side and
pierced his heart up through his abdomen
ripped his back to pieces and it looked
like that it was over in hail put up a
big billboard Jesus Christ defeated in
all of hell was laughing in all of
heaven was weeping but three days later
at the dawning of a new day suddenly the
fog lifted and the message was not when
Jesus came out of that tomb
Jesus Christ defeated it was Jesus
Christ defeated Satan he defeated hell
he defeated the grave and he defeated
your sin and shame somebody give the
Lord a praise I’m glad that Calvary was
the devil’s Waterloo I heard a story the
other day or read it actually about a
man who was in a hurry walking home and
he decided that he needed to take a
shortcut it was very dark this night and
he had to go through a cemetery and he
had to walk through it with no lights
and he was walking and I guess he was a
little freaked out and he was looking
around hearing strange sounds and he
walked and fell right into a grave that
had been fresh freshly dug they were
probably gonna put a coffin in there the
next morning and when he hit the bottom
of that grave he jumped and he called
and he did everything he could to try to
get out but it was too deep and he could
not get out after trying for about 30
minutes and sweating and he finally just
said in the dark corner of that grave
that’s so dark that you couldn’t even
hardly see your hand in front of you he
said in the shadow of that corner of
that grave and just said to himself I’ll
wait for the Sun to come up and somebody
will come find me tomorrow while he was
sitting in that shadow along comes
another man and he falls into the same
grave on the other end and he naturally
and quickly starts grabbing and clawing
and scratching trying to get his trying
to lift himself out of that grave and he
can’t get out he tries and tries and
tries and finally after about 10 minutes
he just sits down in the side of the
grave and he thinks to himself well I
can’t get out and suddenly while he’s
sitting there he hears from the other
end of that dark grave a voice and the
voice said you can’t get out of here
but he did when they put Jesus in that
tomb all the demons inhaled and death
itself said you can’t get out of here
but I promise you he did he did it for
me he did it for you he paid the price
he conquered death hell and the grave
tell somebody besides you he did it it’s
Sunday but Jesus is coming oh I’m so
thankful that if I die in the Lord today
I’m ready to go I’m in a suit and
everything praise the Lord
just put me in there I look good today
he got a town I don’t always look like
this but you know what the shell the old
body will be empty but my spirit to be
absent from the body is to be present
with the Lord you understand if you’ve
lost a loved one they are presently with
the Lord we have eternal life we don’t
fear death cancer Caitlyn can’t keep me
down disease can’t keep me down nothing
can separate me from the love of God and
eternal life that has been given through
Jesus Christ
boy when you get that revelation why
would you turn him down
how would you wait why would you put it
off to another day or when I get older
late you can have eternal life because
he was resurrected and came out of the
grave
you have resurrection power you have the
power of the Holy Spirit

drug addiction the grave of shame the
grave of failure the grave of
self-hatred eating disorders whatever it
is that the enemy hasn’t has put you in
and said this is going to be your death

no grave that can hold you if Jesus is
Lord of your life because he gives you
