Jesus’ Triumph | 5 Discoveries of Jesus (Ep. 5)

Hi, my name is Bob wrongly, and I'm your teacher and guide on this course five ancient discoveries that will rock your view of Jesus We have come now to episode five and the culmination of our journey together as we follow Jesus and his disciples to Jerusalem For the dramatic conclusion of his mission on earth So we're going to Jerusalem and we're reflecting now on Jesus triumph It Was a triumphal entry that Jesus made when he came in on what we usually call Palm Sunday the pilgrims were going up to Jerusalem for the Passover festival as Jesus and his disciples were and the crowds went crazy when they saw Jesus Riding in on the donkey, which was a clear Messianic prophecy that was being fulfilled and they started shouting Hosanna and laying down their cloaks and laying down palm branches Jesus and the disciples came into Jerusalem and Here's a reconstruction of first century Jerusalem. They would have come in Through the city wall through the southern pilgrim entrance and up on to the temple mount itself It was there in the great courts of the temple that Jesus spent most of his time during that final week in Jerusalem as he was teaching as he was healing the sick and as he was Interacting with greater and greater controversy with the religious leaders who were seeking a way to arrest him and to put him to death but all of this sort of comes to a conclusion now on that Thursday of that week as Jesus makes has his disciples make preparation for the Passover meal in the home of Mary and John Mark and They share the Passover together there and then after that amazing meal Jesus leads the disciples out through the city as you can see on the map To the Garden of Gethsemane which was in the Kidron Valley at the base of the Mount of Olives Which stands just to the east of the city of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount and it was there In these this very grove of olive trees that Jesus was pouring out his heart to the father But ultimately submitting his will to the father and taking that cup that he did not want to drink After Judas betrayed him he was arrested and brought back pretty much the same path Through the city to the house of

Caiaphas which was in the same neighborhood as the house of Mary the mother of John Mark where they had shared the Last Supper and It was there That the religious leaders now began to put Jesus on a kind of sham trial there's about six points at which this trial was illegal according to at least later Jewish law and It's clear that they were not seeking justice They were seeking to shut Jesus down Now we don't know the exact location of the house of Caiaphas, but we have found an exceptionally large and lavish Priestly home in the same neighborhood where Caiaphas's house would have been and it may have been the house of Caiaphas But if not, it's a house very much like that house And here you can see the remains of that with ritual baths a central courtyard. It's the same style of house We've seen on the early episodes of this course But it's just a bigger and fancier Version and it's here where Jesus was put on trial by the religious leaders who ultimately Condemned him for no reason and then turned him over to Pontius Pilate the Roman governor by the time of Jesus ministry Herod the great sons were ruling but his younger son No longer ruled in Judea And so they had a Roman governor who was directly ruling that area and that Roman governor of course was called Pontius Pilate Pilate's headquarters were out on the coast at Caesarea Maritima But he would have come into Jerusalem for the Passover festival and he would have taken up residence in the enormous palace that Herod the Great built for himself If we take a little closer look at that palace the Gabbatha is how John describes the place where Jesus was condemned by Pilate and That refers to this large plaza that was in the middle of Herod's palace It was almost like two palaces one at each end as you can See in the picture one here and one here and then in between was this enormous plaza Which is the Gabbatha and this is where the religious leaders gathered a crowd that they had kind of arranged to be there to call for Jesus' crucifixion.

Now, Pilate himself brought Jesus out before the crowds on the bima, the judgment platform. And at each end of this plaza, there was such a platform. And this is where Pilate conducted the so-called trial of Jesus. Again, it was carried out in a way that wasn't about seeking justice. It was really about seeking Pilate's own political ends. Here's a model of that palace. You can see the bima was raised up there and the gavatha was the plaza down below. And so this is where a specially handpicked crowd gathered, where Pilate began to interact with that crowd, where the religious leaders kept coaching that crowd to call for Jesus' crucifixion. Here's how John describes it. He says, it was the day of preparation of the Passover. It was about the sixth hour, meaning noon, because the counting started at sunrise, about 6 a.m. So it's kind of the middle of the day. And he said to the Jews, meaning the crowd that the religious leaders had gathered there, behold your king. And that was the claim that the religious leaders were making is that Jesus was somehow threatening Caesar because he was a king. And they cried out, away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate said to them, shall I crucify your king?

The chief priest answered, we have no king but Caesar. Wow, that's a self-incriminating statement, isn't it? They were so bent on getting rid of Jesus, who was threatening their own sort of political position and power that they paid obedience to Caesar, even over God. So Pilate delivered him over to them to be crucified. It was clear Pilate knew Jesus wasn't actually guilty of any capital crime. His wife had had a prophetic dream that night. She warned him not to condemn him. Pilate had some private conversations with Jesus, which make it clear that he wasn't convinced of Jesus' guilt but in the end, as Pilate was prone to do, he caved to the political pressure and to try to just keep the peace, he decided to sacrifice an innocent man. Now, here we can see the reconstruction of the Palace of Herod, where all this was taking place. And we can see that it was built right into the western wall of the city. And it's right at the place called Jaffa Gate today. When we go to Jerusalem and we arrive at the old city, you know, there's still a walled ancient city of Jerusalem. It's amazing. And when you go through the gates of that city, it's like you're stepping back at least a thousand years in time. And when we go to Jerusalem, we go to the old city and we enter into the walls, it's through Jaffa Gate, which is right here, right at the ruins of Herod's palace.

But you can see in this reconstruction map that just outside the walls, there was an ancient rock quarry and this is where they led Jesus as he was carrying his cross after he'd been scourged. And he would have gone through the Ganath Gate, the garden gate in the western wall of the city, and then come out into this area of the rock quarry. Now there is an ancient tradition called the Via Dolorosa and pilgrims today still follow a path through the city of Jerusalem, remembering Jesus carrying his cross to go with them. The traditional one is not historically accurate. It's still very meaningful and we follow the traditional route as a prayer act when we go on our trips. It's incredibly moving. But the historical route is a little bit different as I'm showing you here on the map. But the point is the same. Jesus carried his cross. He was beaten to the point of weakness. He wasn't able to ultimately carry the cross beam. That's the part that the person being crucified carried was just the cross member of the cross. And they had to force another man, Simon of Cyrene, to carry his cross beam the rest of the way. Now this rock quarry is incredibly significant. John 19 says they took Jesus and he went out bearing his own cross to the place called the place of the skull,

which in Aramaic is called Golgotha. There they crucified him with two others, one on either side, Jesus between them. So the place that they took Jesus was to this ancient rock quarry. It was here that the builders had cut limestone blocks out of the hillside to rebuild the temple after the temple was built. had been destroyed by the Babylonians and was rebuilt under the return of Cyrus. And so they cut these blocks of stone to rebuild the temple, and it left this rock quarry just on the western edge of Jerusalem. Now over the centuries that rock quarry had fallen into disuse, wind had blown dirt and seeds in, it became overgrown, and in the first century BC they converted the rock quarry into a cemetery, and they started to cut tombs into the rock walls of the quarry. This is the place that they took Jesus, because it was here that the Romans had chosen as their place of crucifixion. And the reason for that is that there was one particular part of the quarry, which you can see on the map here, which was a rocky outcropping that had not been cut away by the stone cutters. And it's because the limestone there was fissured and cracked and not suitable for building blocks, so the builders simply cut around that area, and they left this big 20 foot tall rocky outcropping. And that limestone is kind of bone colored, and I suppose if you squinted your eyes it kind of looked like a skull. And it was the place the Romans chose because it was right outside the walls of the city, right at the gate of the city, right where the main road that led out to Jaffa went by, so it was very public and very prominent. The point of crucifixion was to terrify the population

so that Rome could keep control, because crucifixion was the most gruesome way that they had conceived of to execute a person. Now we didn't have any physical evidence of crucifixion until the 60s when a grave was discovered in Jerusalem, and it contained the ankle bone of a Jewish man named Yehochahan, Jonathan, and they found an iron spike driven through that heel. The tip of the spike had bent so they couldn't really reuse it, so they just buried him with the spike still in his foot. And the stone box that you see there is called an ossuary, and after a year after somebody's buried they would gather their bones together, put them in the ossuary, and that's what happened with this man. And based on that evidence we can reconstruct, there are two possible reconstructions of how they crucified people, either kind of with their ankles sideways or with their legs turned and one nail through both ankles. The arms could be tied or nailed to the cross, and we know from Jesus' wounds that he was nailed rather than tied. The way that a person died was not from the wounds of the nails, but it was the pressure that was put on the muscles around the lungs. Because when a person hung on the cross, the muscles would constrict around their lungs. It would prevent their lungs from expelling fluid, and ever so slowly fluid would build up in your lungs. It would be harder and harder to breathe, and you'd have to pull yourself up to get a breath of air. And as you did that, the wounds from your back, from scourging, would be scraping against the upright part of the cross. The nails would be pulling against the wound in your wrists and in your ankles. It was an incredibly torturous way to die, slowly being suffocated while essentially having to kind of torture yourself in order to get a breath. And I'm not trying to be overly graphic, I'm just trying to explain what a horrible, horrible form of

execution that it was. Now it was in this rock quarry where the Romans had set up on the top of this Rock of Golgotha, and this is where they brought Jesus. Now today, there is an ancient church built in the fourth century by the mother of Emperor Constantine called the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. And it's built directly over that rock quarry, and it encompasses both the Rock of Golgotha and the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea. Today, that church has been destroyed and rebuilt multiple times, and it's quite a confusing place to visit today, but it's an amazing place, maybe the most amazing place on earth to visit, because it's the very place, according to the archaeology and the history, that Jesus was crucified and died and where he was buried. Now when you go into the Church of the Holy Sepulchre today, immediately on the right, as you enter, is the Chapel of Golgotha, which is through this window. You go up a narrow set of stairs, and about 20 feet up from the floor, you come to the Chapel of Golgotha. The Chapel of Golgotha is built at the top of the Rock of Golgotha, and you can see it's very ornately decorated according to the eastern style of orthodoxy, but there's an altar there, and on either side of the altar There are glass panels, which are protecting the top of the rock of Golgotha. And if you see the man kneeling under the altar, you can actually reach through a hole there and touch the rock of Golgotha. So it's not as if the rock has any superstitious powers or anything like that. But I'll tell you, it's an incredible experience to actually touch the rock on which Jesus was crucified, because it brings you into such a visceral awareness that Jesus' death on the cross was real, that this sacrifice that was made for me was real. And as you look at the rock, you'll notice the fissures and the cracks in it that made it unsuitable for building, which is why the builders cut around it and left it standing there. And amazingly, this is a fulfillment of biblical prophecy,

which Jesus himself quoted on that last week when Jesus was teaching in the temple. After he told a parable about himself being killed outside the city, he quoted this psalm. He said, the stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. This is the Lord's doing, and it's marvelous in our eyes. And I don't know at what point it hit them, but I know that it hit the disciples when they realized that the stone on which Jesus was crucified was literally the stone that the builders rejected. And Jesus, of course, is that cornerstone. It was his death and resurrection which was the ultimate establishment of the coming of the kingdom of God and the beginning of the new creation, the fulfillment of our redemption. In fact, Peter, later after the resurrection, when he got arrested in the temple courts and he was brought before the Sanhedrin, the very religious leaders that had condemned Jesus to death, and he was asked to kind of state his case, Peter said this, this Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone, and there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. Peter, his name means the rock. Jesus named him that. He gave him that nickname, Rocky, right? And he realizes that this stone of Golgotha is the stone that the builders rejected, that Jesus is the cornerstone of this redemption and of this new kingdom. And as we think about the death of Jesus, we recognize, as Peter said, that it was by Jesus' death, by that perfect sacrifice, by his willingness to give himself, that our sins are forgiven. It's through Jesus' death that we are saved. But it's also something for us to consider the meaning of the cross as an expression of God's love. This is how John says it in the most famous Bible passage, right? For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Sacrifice is love. Love is to seek the best for another, even to your own detriment.

And so when we're willing to sacrifice for another, it is the ultimate expression of love. And this is what God has done for us in Jesus. And this is what God calls us to as well. Jesus said, this is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you in that same way. Greater love is no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. But what did Jesus command us to do? He said, if anyone would come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. So disciples follow the example of Jesus all the way to Golgotha, all the way to the cross. See, this is what it means for us to lay down our lives for one another. Paul said it this way, I've been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. When we submit to Jesus, when we turn our life over to him, when we surrender to him, then we find that we truly are taking up our cross, that we are loving each other, that we are loving the lost, that we are loving those around us as he has first loved us. Now Golgotha is the place of Jesus' crucifixion, but it's also nearby the tomb of Joseph, the place of Jesus' burial. So let's look at Jesus' burial and his resurrection. might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took away his body. Nicodemus also, who earlier had come to Jesus by night, came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about 75 pounds in weight. So these two men, who were both very wealthy and powerful men, and they believed in Jesus, but they still hadn't gone public with their faith, that they were afraid of the ramifications if they were open about their following of Jesus. But in this moment, this most difficult of moments, when Jesus had just been crucified as a criminal,

they stepped out of the shadows and into the light in this incredible act of faith and courage, and they claimed the body of Jesus, and they honored their rabbi by preparing his body for burial. Joseph of Arimathea had had a family tomb dug in this new cemetery, where the rock quarry used to be, and he donated his own family tomb for Jesus to be buried. So they took the body of Jesus, they bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews. They would have a shroud from head to toe, they would wrap the body around, a special cloth over the face. Now in the place where he was crucified, there was a garden, that's the rock quarry that's kind of been turned into a garden cemetery, and in the garden, a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid, that was the family tomb of Joseph of Arimathea. So because of the Jewish day of preparation, since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there. And the women followers of Jesus were watching all of this. Now here's a great kind of reconstruction of the rock quarry. You can see, here's the city wall, this is the western city wall, here's the rock quarry, here's the rocky outcropping. We don't know if the rocky outcropping

was connected to this part, as you see here, or whether it was freestanding. We can't tell from the remains. But we do know that right nearby, there was a tomb, one of several tombs in this rock quarry, and this was the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea. That was a rolling stone tomb. Remember in episode two, I mentioned that a rolling stone was a very fancy kind of tomb, and that would fit for Joseph of Arimathea, a very wealthy man. And they laid the body in there and sealed it with the stone. And so, as Mark says, that he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb, Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where he was laid. Now there are two types of burial for Jews at the time of Jesus. One's called an archesolia, which you see here. It's like a shelf cut into the wall of the tomb, and the body was laid on that shelf, as you can see here. The other is called a coquine burial, which is more of a slot cut into the stone, almost like a morgue drawer, and they would slide the body in. Now we know from John's description that it was actually an archesolia burial. I mentioned earlier ossuaries, where they would collect the bones

of the person who had been buried, and those were then kept in the tomb for generation after generation. So just as they lived as extended families, they were also buried as extended families. Now we know that Jesus was laid in the tomb, and the stone was sealed. Here you can see a first century rolling stone tomb just outside of Jerusalem. This was the Herodian family tomb, and it's very similar to the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea. Now the religious leaders said to Pilate that there were these claims that Jesus was going to rise from the dead, and they said, therefore, order the tomb to be made secure until the third day, lest his disciples go and steal him away and tell the people he has risen from the dead, and this last fraud will be worse than the first. Pilate said to them, you have a guard of soldiers. Go, make it as secure as you can. So they went and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone and setting a guard. So they would have put a clay seal on either side of the rolling stone so that if anybody tried to break it, it would be broken. They set a guard of four soldiers there, and if those soldiers left their post, they could potentially be put to death.

They were liable of the same crime of the victim that they were guarding, and so they had a high incentive to guard the tomb. But in spite of that, on the third day, so Jesus was killed on a Friday, Saturday was the Sabbath. On the dawning of the third day, the Sunday, there were Mary Magdalene and the women disciples who had the courage to go out and go back to the tomb because they wanted to honor their rabbi. They assumed the men, of course, had done an inadequate job, right? So they had to do the job right. They wanted to. anoint Jesus' body. It says on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb. John focuses on Mary Magdalene, but from the Synoptic Gospels, we know that there were five or six other women disciples with her as well. They came to the tomb early while it was still dark. She saw that the stone had been removed from the tomb. So she went running to Simon Peter and to the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, that's John, and said to them, they've taken the Lord out of the tomb, we don't know where they put him. At that, Peter and the other disciple went out heading for the tomb.

The two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and got to the tomb first. I like how John, who's writing this version of the story, points out that he made it to the tomb first, right? Just wanted to let y'all know that. So here we can see on the map, the house of Mary, the mother of John Mark, is where they would have been hiding out. That's where the upper room was. And this is where the women would have gone out to the tomb, to the rock quarry, to kind of discover the empty tomb there. Mary would have returned to give them the news. John and Peter made their footrace to get to the tomb. This is all the setting of that. But when they got there, they looked into the tomb and all they saw was the linens lying there. And the way the linens were lying there was very unique. There was something about it that caused them to believe something had happened. It wasn't just that the body was stolen, but something mysterious had happened. And Mary was still standing outside the tomb. She assumes Jesus' body has been stolen. Peter and John have gone back, apparently to the house of Mary. And as she was standing there, she bent over to look into the tomb.

The openings were kind of low. So she bent over and looked in, and there she saw two angels in white sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at the feet. That's how we know it was a shelf kind of burial, the archesolia. And they said to her, woman, why are you weeping? She said to them, they have taken away my Lord and they do not know where they have laid him. Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, but she didn't know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking? Supposing him to be the gardener. She said to him, sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away. Jesus said to her, Mary. She turned and said to him in Aramaic, Rabbuni, which means teacher, really my teacher. This moment when she heard Jesus' voice, she realized that this was him. This was her rabbi. This is the one that she had followed, that she had given her life for, the one that she had seen nailed to the cross and die before her very eyes. But he was now gloriously transformed, never to die again.

And it was when she heard him speak her name that she knew that it was truly him alive again. Incredible, incredible moment, a transforming moment. Now, all of this, of course, is happening right here, right outside the walls of Jerusalem in this rock quarry that we've been talking about. And here, when she saw Jesus at the tomb, her life was radically changed. Now, I mentioned earlier, this Church of the Holy Sepulchre is built directly over this rock quarry. We saw the Rock of Golgotha, but inside the very same church complex, just a stone's throw away, is the tomb, which was the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea. Now, when Queen Helena built this church in the fourth century, they cut the hillside away on three sides around that tomb, and they left a freestanding cube of living rock with the tomb inside of it that they then decorated and built this beautiful rotunda and this beautiful dome over it. So this is how it appears today. You can still visit the tomb today. It's pretty intense, because everybody wants to get in there. It's not always the most holy experience, because people are pushing and shoving, but it's incredible to actually go inside and to realize this is the place

where Jesus' body was laying. It was from this place that he conquered sin, death, hell, and the devil, and that he rose again. Now, when you go inside the tomb and you go into the burial chamber, you can see there's a shelf there, which, as we know, is the kind of burial that would have happened. Now, it's all covered with icons, and they've decorated it with marble to preserve it. The tomb was destroyed in the 12th century by... invading a Muslim army, but the base of the tomb was still there. In fact, they've recently kind of renovated the tomb and they discovered the actual stone of the first century tomb underneath. They put a little piece of glass in the wall and you can see the original stone through that glass. And so it was from this very tomb, the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea, that Jesus was raised from the dead. Now when Mary Magdalene encountered Jesus in this place, she ran back to that house where they were staying and she announced to the male disciples, I have seen the Lord. This is the first proclamation of this good news of the resurrection. And this became the witness, the testimony of those who followed Jesus. They also were in the upper room there in the house of Mary. The doors were locked. They were afraid that the same thing was going to happen to them that happened to Jesus. And then as John records it, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, peace be with you. They must have been freaking out, right? Peace be with you. And when he had said this, he showed them his hands, it was really the wrists where they were crucified, and his side where he was pierced with the spear. And then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. I think that's one of the great understatements of the Bible, right? That all their hopes had been dashed and crushed and now Jesus was alive again. Now everything that Jesus had said was clearly true. Clearly he is the Son of God. He is the Messiah. He is the great Redeemer because he's the only one who has faced down death and conquered. The only one who has died and risen again. And Jesus said to them,

peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you. And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, receive the Holy Spirit. And that's exactly what happened. They were filled with the Holy Spirit. They were filled with faith and confidence, so much so that they were able to go to the ends of the earth with this good news of the kingdom. And they could give that testimony that the very Jesus who was nailed to the cross and died, they had seen with their own eyes, they had touched with their own hands, and he was radically transformed. Thomas wasn't there. He was out getting milk or something, I don't know. But when he came back, the other disciples told him, we've seen the Lord. They were the eyewitnesses of this. This is how John says it in his first letter. He says, that which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we looked upon and have touched with our hands concerning the word of life. The life was made manifest and we have seen it and testified to it and proclaim to you the eternal life which was with the Father and was made manifest to us. It is not just wishful thinking. It is not just some vision they had. It wasn't a conspiracy that they concocted. These are all ways that people have tried to dismiss this message of Jesus' resurrection. This was a real event. It happened in a real place. They were eyewitnesses. Jesus was gloriously transformed, but he was still physically present. They could eat with him, touch him, talk with him. They knew that this had really happened, and because Jesus has risen from the dead, everything that he promised is true. His death is the effective sacrifice for our sin, and he can promise to us not only eternal life to come, but an eternal life that begins today and a kingdom that lasts forever. Peter said it this way, we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. Now history tells us that 11 of the 12 disciples were ultimately tortured and executed for their testimony that Jesus had risen from the dead, and if they knew that it was a lie, if they had made this up, there was some conspiracy, nobody would be willing to die for a lie, but they knew for themselves because they had seen it that it was true, so much so that they were willing to lay down their life and make the ultimate sacrifice. You see friends, this is the good news of kingdom, and it's true that Jesus is the Son of God, that he died to pay the price for our sins, that he came to show us the way, and that he is coming again to establish God's eternal kingdom, and that we will live forever with him in that kingdom by faith. Paul says, if the spirit of him who raised Jesus

Jesus from the dead dwells in you. He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his spirit who dwells in you. This is the promise that we have, that the resurrected Jesus, through the outpouring of his spirit, lives in the hearts and lives of those who trust him and believe in him and follow him. This is the life that we have. This is the confidence that we have that these things really happen, that it's really true, and that Jesus, the risen Christ, through his spirit will give us the power that we need to follow him, to live his way of life, and to bring the good news of his kingdom to all people, disciples who make disciples and live as a family on mission. So I hope that this course has given you a greater confidence to trust Jesus, to follow him, and to live in this power of the resurrection through the Holy Spirit. So I encourage you to take some time to reflect on these two questions. What is God saying to you about all of these things? And what is the next step of faith that you're gonna take on this journey of following Jesus? This is the life, every day, listening to what God is saying and taking steps of faith every day with our eyes on Jesus.

So thank you for being a part of this course. If it's given you a little curiosity to learn more, I would invite you to keep learning. I've got a full book that covers the whole life of Jesus, drawing on all kinds of these ancient discoveries that illuminate his way, so you can go much further. I also have a 12-episode teaching series, which is a little bit more in-depth than this course. So if you want 12 more episodes kind of like this, that's another way to keep learning and keep learning. I've also got a daily devotional that will go through all four Gospels over the course of the year. So that'll give you kind of the full story of Jesus' life from all four Gospels. And also, we're just launching a brand new podcast, which ultimately will be 24 episodes on the life of Jesus, giving you some more ways to access these insights. You can find all of this at my website, bobwronglian.com. You can find it. So thanks again for joining us, and I wish you God's blessings as you follow Jesus.
