| 0:00.0 | Thank you. The Bible tells us that angels in heaven rejoice anytime a sinner is saved. |
| 0:32.8 | So why isn't it the same here on earth? |
| 0:35.4 | Shouldn't the assurance of eternal life be celebrated by everyone? |
| 0:39.8 | Today on Truth for Life weekend, |
| 0:41.7 | Alistair Begg considers why the |
| 0:43.3 | impact of the gospel on someone's |
| 0:45.4 | life isn't always welcomed |

| 1:49.0 | be quiet, but is to say, do you know that there is a reconciliation that has been provided |
| 1:55.4 | in the person of Christ, in the amazing nature of his death for sinners? That's, you see, what is going to be the key |
| 2:04.9 | that unlocks the alienation of this man's mind. It is what Jesus is about to do when finally |
| 2:13.2 | all of hell is unleashed against him, and every dark and demonic force is poured out upon him |
| 2:19.5 | as if that would be the end of him, rather than as it proves to be the triumph of his might. |
