Hey everybody it's Matt this is the 10 minute Bible hour podcast and I grew up in the

wonder years of the gray box Nintendo the original Nintendo Entertainment System came out when I was in elementary

school. I wasn't allowed to get that. I mean, settle down. But my friends did. Two of my friends

had Nintendo's. I'd go over there and we just hang out and play Nintendo all the time and it was the

Wild West back then sister there's no rules for games yet nobody knew what to expect

anything could happen we hadn't tapped into imagination in this genre yet.

You didn't know what was going to go on, but one thing you did kind of know

was that if you beat an enemy, if you killed one of the bad guys in the game, they stayed dead.

You know, you can listen to this for a while, you can see where this is going.

But one time I'm playing this game where you go and find like vampires and stuff, monsters and Frankenstein, Medusa, things like that.

And I'm playing through this level, right? And I got this guy and he's got this whip.

And I see this red skeleton come up at me. I'm like, I know what to do when you see a monster,

you hit it with your thing and then it dies. And so I whacked it with my whip and it made the dying sound and the dying animation and I was like okay that's

predictable it's what I expect to happen and then I just go to walk past the

skeleton pile of bones and what do I get I get that weird little clinky sound that Jeff Foote made a while back on this

podcast, that Xylophone Up, bones reassembling sound.

The thing comes back to life, and it hits me, and now I'm the one who's dead.

What the heck?

It melted my brain when the dead thing didn't stay dead.

But then right after that, I thought myself it's a video game so you know like whatever

just mental note those red skeletons they come back to life. Here though in Matthew 28

we're gonna story about somebody coming back to life and it's not held out as a video game.
