0:00.0	Hey my friends it's Matt. This is the 10 minute Bible hour podcast. We're talking about Matthew 27 or I should say
0:05.4	We're on a really interesting relevant rabbit trail born out of Matthew 27 where we meet Joseph of Eramathia who chooses to take a great risk and take
0:16.3	custody of the body of Christ to bury him in his own tomb. But over the centuries
0:21.8	Joseph of Eramathia comes to be believed to be the guy who at one
0:26.0	point didn't just have custody of the body of Jesus. He also had custody of the most powerful,
0:30.8	most interesting, most significant significant most legend and myth
0:33.8	were the artifact from this era of all time that being the holy grail which I suppose
0:40.9	you could say is kind of the holy grail of relics.
0:44.6	I'm gonna have my buddy Jeff play some music and we'll get back at it.

1:34.0	would acknowledge, hey if it's real, that's pretty cool and I certainly think that's
1:38.9	pretty cool as well and it reminds you, we're talking about with the Bible, real people and real places at real times,
1:46.0	this isn't just a made-up fantasy land, this is held out as being a real thing that happened in a real measurable time and place.
1:52.0	So cool. But then we also have to acknowledge that this is a spectrum of belief about relics and artifacts and physical associations with the miraculous things of the past.
2:03.0	And on the other end of that spectrum would be people who say,
2:05.6	no, there is still active power in those things.
