Hello and welcome to Daily Hope with Pastor Rick Warren.

You've joined us during our Easter series and we're so glad you're here as Rick

continues to share the six major benefits that the resurrection of Christ

brings to people who choose to follow him.

And now here's part two of a message called the mystery of God's plan.

Now before we get too upset with Adam

for messing up a perfect planet,

we need to realize that we share the blame too because every one of us have done the exact same thing Adam and Eve did

We thumbed our nose to God. We've said God, I going to do what I want to do.

I know what the right thing to do is, but I'm going to do what's easy.

I'm going to do what's convenient.

I'm going to do what's fun.

I'm going to do what's popular.

I'm going to do what I want to do.

And God, you got your plan, but no thanks thanks God I'm going to go with my plan and I know you

say don't do these things but I'm going to do them anyway. The Bible calls that

rebellion it calls it disobedience it calls it sin and the Bible tells us this we've all

send. Every one of us not a single person on the planet is perfect. Nobody bats

a thousand. We've all blown it, we've all made mistakes, we've all

heard ourselves, we've all hurt God, we've all heard other people. We've all sinned and proved

that we are utterly incapable of living the glorious lives, that's that life of perfection,

that God wills for us.
