[00:00:00]The apostles watch the dead rise, the blind see, and the lepers walk away clean.

[00:00:07]And then every single one of them was executed. That is not a [music] contradiction. That is the most important theological statement in human history.

[00:00:16]See, most people think miracles were God's ultimate proof of power.

[00:00:21]But if miracles were enough, the apostles would have lived forever.

[00:00:25]Nobody kills the guy who just raised your neighbor from the dead. And yet Peter was crucified upside down. Paul was beheaded. [music] Stephen was stoned in the streets.

[00:00:36]God healed strangers through their hands and then allowed their own bodies to be destroyed. Why? Because miracles can only show you what God does.

[00:00:46]Martyrdom shows you who God is. The blood of the apostles was not [music] a failure of divine protection. It was the loudest sermon ever preached. It told a watching world that something exists worth more than your [music] life.

[00:00:59]Miracles create wonder. Sacrifice creates believers. That [music] distinction will completely change how you read your Bible.
