Fly Through the Bible—5 Events from the Life of Jesus

Broadcast Featured Image

Today we delve into five pivotal events from the life of Jesus as recorded in the Gospels. Last time, we soared through the Old Testament, exploring five key figures in one go. Now, we’re going to take a high-altitude journey through the New Testament by focusing on these crucial moments: Jesus’ birth, His temptation, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension. Pastor Colin Smith will guide us in understanding the significance of these events and how they shape our faith today. Stay tuned as we explore this fascinating and enlightening message, “Five Events in the Life of Jesus.” For more about our series, Fly Through the Bible, or to get a copy of Pastor Colin’s new book, visit our website at openthebible.org.uk. I hope you enjoy this insightful discussion!

1

00:00:00,080 –> 00:00:05,260

Welcome to Open the Bible with Pastor

2

00:00:05,280 –> 00:00:09,040

Colin Smith, I’m David Pick. And Colin, last time we looked at five people in the

3

00:00:09,100 –> 00:00:14,060

whole Old Testament in just one program. And today we’re looking at five events

4

00:00:14,060 –> 00:00:17,379

in the life of Jesus from the gospels. Yeah we flew through the Old Testament,

5

00:00:17,400 –> 00:00:23,520

very high altitude flight by looking at 5 people and we’re gonna try and fly

6

00:00:23,520 –> 00:00:28,260

through the gospels by looking at five events in the life of Jesus. Now of

7

00:00:28,260 –> 00:00:31,700

course there’s so much more in the gospels about the Lord Jesus. You don’t

8

00:00:31,700 –> 00:00:37,419

see everything from a 30,000 foot flight, but to get an overview is valuable and

9

00:00:37,419 –> 00:00:41,860

the five events that we’re going to look at in the life of Jesus are that he was

10

00:00:41,860 –> 00:00:48,259

born, he was tempted, he was crucified, he is risen and he has ascended. So let’s

11

00:00:48,259 –> 00:00:53,060

hear this message, five events in the life of Jesus, here’s Colin. Well in our

12

00:00:53,060 –> 00:00:58,040

first session we met five people from the Old Testament, Adam and Abraham and

13

00:00:58,080 –> 00:01:03,840

Moses and David and Ezra, and we saw how each of them points to the Lord Jesus

14

00:01:03,840 –> 00:01:09,919

Christ, and we learn about the life of the Lord Jesus Christ in the first four

15

00:01:09,919 –> 00:01:16,940

books of the New Testament, that’s Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. And in this

16

00:01:16,940 –> 00:01:21,400

session we’re going to look at five events from the life of Jesus. He was

17

00:01:21,940 –> 00:01:35,480

So first Jesus was born and the birth of Jesus was really the first evidence that

18

00:01:35,480 –> 00:01:41,879

he is unlike any other person who has ever lived. This is how it came about.

19

00:01:41,879 –> 00:01:49,739

Mary was a young woman preparing for marriage to a man called Joseph, and God

20

00:01:49,739 –> 00:01:54,699

spoke to her through an angel who appeared to her and said,

21

00:01:54,699 –> 00:01:59,459

do not be afraid Mary for you have found favor

22

00:01:59,459 –> 00:02:07,379

with God and behold you will conceive in your womb and bear a son and you shall

23

00:02:07,379 –> 00:02:13,960

call his name Jesus. Mary was a virgin so she asked how can this be?

24

00:02:14,039 –> 00:02:20,279

How can this be and the Angel’s answer takes us to the heart of the most

25

00:02:20,279 –> 00:02:27,580

wonderful mystery. The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the most

26

00:02:27,580 –> 00:02:36,199

high will overshadow you therefore the child to be born will be called Holy the

27

00:02:36,199 –> 00:02:41,360

Son of God. Now Mary could not have understood all

28

00:02:41,360 –> 00:02:48,220

that the angel said to her but in an act of faith she submitted herself to

29

00:02:48,220 –> 00:02:56,699

God’s plan behold I am the servant of the Lord let it be to me according to

30

00:02:56,699 –> 00:03:05,559

your word. Now the name Jesus means saviour and Jesus is able to save us

31

00:03:05,880 –> 00:03:13,100

because he is one with God and because he is one with us. The angel announced to

32

00:03:13,100 –> 00:03:19,300

Mary that her child would be the Son of God and then in a separate appearance to

33

00:03:19,300 –> 00:03:32,220

Joseph Jesus was announced as Emmanuel which means God with us God with us.

34

00:03:32,279 –> 00:03:39,039

Jesus has always shared the Father’s glory and the Father’s love but although

35

00:03:39,039 –> 00:03:45,899

he was in the form of God, he did not count equality with God a thing to be

36

00:03:45,899 –> 00:03:53,300

grasped but emptied himself by taking the form of a servant, being born in the

37

00:03:53,300 –> 00:04:00,979

likeness of men. Now the miracle of how God became a man is an unfathomable

38

00:04:01,479 –> 00:04:07,279

mystery but it makes sense of everything else that the Bible tells us about Jesus.

39

00:04:07,279 –> 00:04:16,760

If God became a man in Jesus, then his claims, his miracles, his resurrection

40

00:04:16,760 –> 00:04:24,339

they should bring no surprise at all. The incarnation is the mystery that makes

41

00:04:24,619 –> 00:04:26,339

sense of everything else.

42

00:04:26,339 –> 00:04:33,700

Now, Jesus was thirty years of age when he began his public ministry, he was

43

00:04:33,700 –> 00:04:37,899

baptised in the River Jordan, identifying himself with men and women

44

00:04:37,899 –> 00:04:44,320

who seek to live for the glory of God, the Holy Spirit descended on Jesus.

45

00:04:44,320 –> 00:04:51,179

And an audible voice from heaven said, this is my beloved son with whom I am

46

00:04:51,339 –> 00:04:59,299

well pleased. Filled with the spirit, Jesus went into the desert where he was

47

00:04:59,299 –> 00:05:05,899

tempted by the devil. And Jesus full of the Holy Spirit returned from the

48

00:05:05,899 –> 00:05:12,339

Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness for forty days, being tempted

49

00:05:12,339 –> 00:05:20,100

by the devil. Now notice that the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert.

50

00:05:20,380 –> 00:05:26,880

See, Jesus was stalking the enemy. He had come into the world to destroy the

51

00:05:26,880 –> 00:05:33,000

devil’s work and the first step in his public ministry was to confront the

52

00:05:33,000 –> 00:05:39,920

enemy and to triumph in the battle where Adam had failed. Now it’s important to

53

00:05:39,920 –> 00:05:46,239

remember that only Jesus knows the full power of temptation because only Jesus

54

00:05:47,000 –> 00:05:54,239

has faced the full force of the enemy’s assault. Imagine for a moment three

55

00:05:54,239 –> 00:06:02,160

Airmen flying over enemy territory in a time of war. They’re shot down, they’re

56

00:06:02,160 –> 00:06:08,239

captured, and then they’re taken away by the enemy for interrogation and one by

57

00:06:08,239 –> 00:06:14,660

one, they are brought into a darkened room. The first Airman gives his name and

58

00:06:14,700 –> 00:06:19,660

his rank and his serial number and his captors ask him for information about

59

00:06:19,660 –> 00:06:26,220

his forces. He knows that the enemy is cruel and so he tells them what he

60

00:06:26,220 –> 00:06:30,559

knows. The second Airmen is determined that

61

00:06:30,559 –> 00:06:35,799

he’s not going to give in, so when he’s brought into the darkened room the

62

00:06:35,799 –> 00:06:43,380

cruelty begins and eventually it overwhelms him and he breaks and he

63

00:06:43,399 –> 00:06:50,519

tells them what they want to know. But then the third Airmen comes in,

64

00:06:50,519 –> 00:06:59,880

you will not break me, he says, oh yes we will, we have broken every man who has

65

00:06:59,880 –> 00:07:06,480

come into this room it’s only a matter of time, you’ll see, and so the cruelty

66

00:07:06,480 –> 00:07:12,940

begins, but he doesn’t break and so it’s intensified until it feels

67

00:07:12,980 –> 00:07:17,940

unbearable but still he does not break.

68

00:07:18,179 –> 00:07:23,339

Finally there comes a point where they’ve tried everything that they know

69

00:07:23,339 –> 00:07:30,359

it’s no use they say, he’s not like any other man we’ve ever had in this room, we

70

00:07:30,359 –> 00:07:37,660

can’t break him. Now which of the three airmen faced the full force of the

71

00:07:37,980 –> 00:07:44,739

enemies assault? Well obviously only the one who did not break. So don’t ever

72

00:07:44,739 –> 00:07:52,579

think that Jesus’ temptations were less than yours. Jesus knows the full power of

73

00:07:52,579 –> 00:07:58,739

temptation and he is able to give you the strength that you need to prevail in

74

00:07:58,739 –> 00:08:06,619

your battle against it. We do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize

75

00:08:06,619 –> 00:08:14,220

with our weaknesses but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are yet

76

00:08:14,220 –> 00:08:23,540

without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace that we

77

00:08:23,540 –> 00:08:33,719

may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Now what followed was

78

00:08:33,840 –> 00:08:40,299

three years in which Jesus taught and performed miracles and called people to

79

00:08:40,299 –> 00:08:47,539

follow him. His message was very clear, repent for the kingdom of heaven is at

80

00:08:47,539 –> 00:08:56,719

hand, repent and believe the Gospel. Jesus disciples saw his power over nature as

81

00:08:56,719 –> 00:09:03,200

he calmed a storm, over demons as he released the oppressed, over disease as

82

00:09:03,239 –> 00:09:10,099

he healed the sick and even over death as he raised the dead. Many believed and

83

00:09:10,099 –> 00:09:16,900

followed him but there was relentless opposition which ultimately led to his

84

00:09:16,900 –> 00:09:23,280

trial, to his arrest and to his crucifixion. We’ll come back in a moment

85

00:09:23,280 –> 00:09:27,179

and continue to hear about the crucifixion as well as how Jesus rose

86

00:09:27,179 –> 00:09:32,239

from the dead and has ascended to heaven. You’re listening to Open the Bible with

87

00:09:32,760 –> 00:09:36,460

the message entitled Five Events from the Life of Jesus’ part of our series

88

00:09:36,460 –> 00:09:40,859

Fly Through the Bible. This is also the title of Pastor Colin Smith’s new book

89

00:09:40,859 –> 00:09:44,359

and if you’d like to get hold of a copy of the book you can do that by coming

90

00:09:44,359 –> 00:09:49,979

online to our website openthebible.org.uk Back to the message now

91

00:09:49,979 –> 00:09:57,679

here’s Colin. Jesus was arrested by Roman soldiers surrounded by a mob armed with

92

00:09:58,039 –> 00:10:05,479

and then in the course of a single night he was dragged from one trial

93

00:10:05,479 –> 00:10:10,080

to another before the high priest before the king and then before the

94

00:10:10,080 –> 00:10:17,880

governor whose name was Pontius Pilate. Pilate pronounced Jesus innocent but

95

00:10:17,880 –> 00:10:23,739

under pressure from the crowd he had Jesus scourged, and when the crowd was

96

00:10:23,780 –> 00:10:34,619

still not satisfied he handed Jesus over to be crucified, now, men’s sin had

97

00:10:34,619 –> 00:10:43,619

reached its full horror and its most awful expression, we had disobeyed God’s

98

00:10:43,619 –> 00:10:52,820

commands for years but now we were crucifying God’s son and if ever there

99

00:10:52,919 –> 00:11:01,359

was a moment where God’s judgment had to fall this was it, Jesus knew that God’s

100

00:11:01,359 –> 00:11:11,119

judgment would fall so he cried out Father forgive them for they do not know

101

00:11:11,119 –> 00:11:18,619

what they are doing, you see, what he was saying don’t let your judgment fall on

102

00:11:18,940 –> 00:11:31,299

let it fall on me, let me be the lightning rod for your judgment on their sin now

103

00:11:31,299 –> 00:11:36,640

there were two thieves who were hanging on crosses one on either side of Jesus

104

00:11:36,640 –> 00:11:43,200

and both of them joined in shouting ridicule towards Jesus but as death drew

105

00:11:43,200 –> 00:11:49,479

near one of them seemed to have a new awareness that soon he would enter into

106

00:11:49,479 –> 00:11:56,780

the presence of God and he turned towards Jesus and said Jesus remember me

107

00:11:56,780 –> 00:12:05,659

when you come into your kingdom and Jesus said to him truly I say to you

108

00:12:05,679 –> 00:12:15,900

today you will be with me in paradise paradise I mean this band had made a

109

00:12:15,900 –> 00:12:22,960

tragic waste of his life but Jesus promised him in that moment an immediate

110

00:12:22,960 –> 00:12:30,440

translation through death into a life of undiluted joy suddenly this man who was

111

00:12:30,440 –> 00:12:35,840

on the very brink of hell found that because of Jesus he was about to enter

112

00:12:35,840 –> 00:12:45,299

into the joys of heaven itself and then after three hours of agony on the cross

113

00:12:45,299 –> 00:12:52,500

Jesus entered into the very heart of his suffering it was now about the sixth

114

00:12:53,099 –> 00:13:01,039

hour and there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour and in

115

00:13:01,039 –> 00:13:10,840

these hours of darkness Jesus bore our guilt and absorbed God’s wrath he

116

00:13:10,840 –> 00:13:17,900

endured all this alone and he did it without the comfort of feeling his

117

00:13:17,900 –> 00:13:27,059

Father’s love so in the depth of his suffering he cried out my God my God why

118

00:13:27,059 –> 00:13:36,559

have you forsaken me now God himself tells us what Jesus was doing in that

119

00:13:37,320 –> 00:13:48,880

awful darkness he himself bore our sins in his body on the tree he was pierced

120

00:13:48,880 –> 00:13:58,260

for our transgressions he was crushed for our iniquities upon him was the

121

00:13:58,260 –> 00:14:05,539

chastisement that brought us peace and with his wounds we are healed

122

00:14:05,599 –> 00:14:16,739

the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all now after three hours this awful

123

00:14:16,739 –> 00:14:24,440

darkness passed the judgment that was poured out on Jesus it was spent it was

124

00:14:24,440 –> 00:14:30,580

exhausted justice was satisfied and Jesus shouted

125

00:14:30,580 –> 00:14:38,380

out and triumph it is finished all that was needed to redeem God’s people from

126

00:14:38,380 –> 00:14:45,140

sin had been accomplished forgiveness was released condemnation was removed

127

00:14:45,140 –> 00:14:53,000

and heaven was opened for all who would trust in the Lord Jesus Christ and then

128

00:14:53,000 –> 00:14:56,859

Jesus cried out in a loud voice father into your hands

129

00:14:56,859 –> 00:15:07,219

I commit my spirit and having said this he breathed his last. Now Jesus was given

130

00:15:07,219 –> 00:15:13,960

an honored burial. A man called Josef of Arimathea a respected member of the

131

00:15:13,960 –> 00:15:20,179

Jewish council asked Pilate for the body of Jesus and assisted by a man by

132

00:15:20,179 –> 00:15:24,619

the name of Nicodemus he took the body of Jesus down from the cross and

133

00:15:25,179 –> 00:15:29,260

prepared it for burial. Together they laid it in the tomb and

134

00:15:29,260 –> 00:15:37,979

they rolled a large stone in front of the entrance then early on the first

135

00:15:37,979 –> 00:15:45,400

Easter morning a group of women went to the tomb to pack spices around the body

136

00:15:45,400 –> 00:15:51,780

of Jesus. They knew that the tomb had been sealed with a stone and they were

137

00:15:51,859 –> 00:15:58,260

wondering who might help them to get in but when they arrived they found that

138

00:15:58,260 –> 00:16:05,900

the stone had been rolled away and that the tomb was empty. An angel appeared to

139

00:16:05,900 –> 00:16:13,580

them and said do not be afraid for I know that you seek Jesus who was

140

00:16:13,659 –> 00:16:24,500

crucified he is not here for he has risen as he said now the disciples came

141

00:16:24,500 –> 00:16:31,020

to faith through multiple encounters with the risen Lord Jesus Christ Jesus

142

00:16:31,020 –> 00:16:38,080

appeared to Mary Magdalene and to other women and to Peter and to two disciples

143

00:16:38,880 –> 00:16:43,280

on the road to Emmaus Jesus appeared to his disciples who’d

144

00:16:43,280 –> 00:16:48,900

gathered together on the evening of that first Easter Day Luke records

145

00:16:48,900 –> 00:16:55,799

Jesus himself stood among them and said to them peace to you and they were

146

00:16:55,799 –> 00:17:03,359

startled and frightened and thought they saw a spiritual and he said to them why

147

00:17:03,659 –> 00:17:10,859

are you troubled and why do doubts arise in your hearts see my hands and my feet

148

00:17:10,859 –> 00:17:18,699

that it is I myself touch me and see for a spirit does not have flesh and bones

149

00:17:18,699 –> 00:17:26,540

as you see that I have and when he had said this he showed them his hands and

150

00:17:27,020 –> 00:17:35,520

and his feet now Thomas had not been present on this occasion and he said to

151

00:17:35,520 –> 00:17:42,859

the other disciples unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails and place my

152

00:17:42,859 –> 00:17:52,160

hands into his side I will never believe well eight days later the Lord appeared

153

00:17:52,280 –> 00:17:58,800

to the disciples again and this time Thomas was with them and Jesus said to

154

00:17:58,800 –> 00:18:06,599

Thomas put your finger here and see my hands and put out your hand and place it

155

00:18:06,599 –> 00:18:12,959

in my side well what else was there for Thomas to do except to fall on his knees

156

00:18:13,959 –> 00:18:22,400

and to say to Jesus my Lord and my God the very wonderful thing that Jesus did

157

00:18:22,400 –> 00:18:29,359

not write off Thomas when he refused to believe what he did was he reached out

158

00:18:29,359 –> 00:18:37,339

to Thomas and led him to faith and if you have felt that you could not believe

159

00:18:37,339 –> 00:18:43,619

the Lord Jesus Christ is ready to do the same for you so of course the question

160

00:18:43,619 –> 00:18:50,339

then is how do we encounter the Risen Lord and John in his gospel answers

161

00:18:50,339 –> 00:18:57,119

that question very clearly and directly these are written so that you may

162

00:18:57,119 –> 00:19:04,459

believe that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God and that by believing you may

163

00:19:04,459 –> 00:19:13,839

have life in his name Christian faith is not a blind leap in the dark the

164

00:19:13,839 –> 00:19:22,140

evidence on which we can take a reasoned step of faith is placed before us in the

165

00:19:22,140 –> 00:19:30,280

Gospels Jesus appeared to His disciples again on a mountain in Galilee and he

166

00:19:30,280 –> 00:19:37,359

said all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me go therefore

167

00:19:37,359 –> 00:19:42,599

and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the father

168

00:19:42,599 –> 00:19:48,359

and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit teaching them to observe all that I have

169

00:19:48,359 –> 00:19:54,500

commanded you. Now this Commission is not only for the first disciples it is for

170

00:19:54,819 –> 00:20:01,619

of Jesus’ disciples in every generation and along with this Commission Jesus

171

00:20:01,619 –> 00:20:10,739

gives this wonderful promise behold I am with you always to the end of the age.

172

00:20:10,739 –> 00:20:16,579

The last time that Jesus appeared to his disciples was at the Mount of Olives in

173

00:20:16,579 –> 00:20:20,339

Jerusalem and Luke recalls that as they were

174

00:20:20,339 –> 00:20:25,219

looking on He was lifted up

175

00:20:25,219 –> 00:20:32,339

and a cloud took him out of their sight. Now we might think that the disciples

176

00:20:32,339 –> 00:20:35,459

would be absolutely devastated by the departure

177

00:20:35,459 –> 00:20:41,060

of Jesus but Luke tells us that they returned to Jerusalem with great

178

00:20:41,060 –> 00:20:46,099

joy. Why would the disciples have joy when

179

00:20:46,099 –> 00:20:51,219

Jesus had just left them? Well, suppose for a moment that you are

180

00:20:51,219 –> 00:20:55,540

in prison and charged with a serious crime.

181

00:20:55,540 –> 00:20:59,699

Your attorney is a man of great compassion and when he visits your cell

182

00:20:59,699 –> 00:21:04,819

you draw great comfort from his presence. But you need more from your attorney

183

00:21:04,819 –> 00:21:07,619

than his comfort in the cell. You need him to

184

00:21:07,619 –> 00:21:14,339

represent you in the courtroom. So you see when Jesus ascended

185

00:21:14,420 –> 00:21:19,699

the disciples were filled with joy because they knew that in heaven

186

00:21:19,699 –> 00:21:24,420

he would speak to God the father on their behalf.

187

00:21:24,420 –> 00:21:27,540

The book of Hebrews tells us that this is precisely

188

00:21:27,540 –> 00:21:34,420

what the Lord Jesus does. He is able to save to the uttermost those who draw

189

00:21:34,420 –> 00:21:39,219

near to god through him, since he always lives to make

190

00:21:39,300 –> 00:21:44,819

intercession for them. Jesus is in heaven

191

00:21:44,819 –> 00:21:49,619

interceding for us and that is the most marvelous good news

192

00:21:49,619 –> 00:21:55,619

because what Jesus asks, the Father gives. You can be sure

193

00:21:55,619 –> 00:22:01,459

that you will have all that you need for all that you face in every

194

00:22:01,459 –> 00:22:06,420

circumstance of your life, because the Lord Jesus Christ intercedes

195

00:22:06,420 –> 00:22:11,619

on your behalf in heaven before God the Father.

196

00:22:11,619 –> 00:22:17,300

Now, when Jesus ascended, an angel appeared to the disciples and

197

00:22:17,300 –> 00:22:22,819

said, men of Galilee, why do you stand

198

00:22:22,819 –> 00:22:28,819

looking into heaven? This Jesus who was taken up from you into

199

00:22:28,819 –> 00:22:33,380

heaven will come in the same way

200

00:22:33,380 –> 00:22:40,260

as you saw him go into heaven. Jesus is in heaven now but he has

201

00:22:40,260 –> 00:22:45,780

promised that he will return. He said to the father, father

202

00:22:45,780 –> 00:22:53,140

i desire that they also whom you have given me may be with me

203

00:22:53,140 –> 00:23:00,900

where i am and Jesus says to us i will come again

204

00:23:00,900 –> 00:23:08,979

and will take you to myself that where i am you also
