Good morning. For our call to
worship, I'd like to read from Isaiah chapter 52, please. I was reflecting on the blessing
of being in a church where we all speak the same thing and
we're in the same mind and in the same judgment, as Paul said
to the Corinthians, and have a watchman over us. Let's start
in verse six. Therefore, my people shall know
my name. Therefore, they shall know in
that day that I am he that doth speak. Behold, it is I. How beautiful upon the mountains
are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth
peace, that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation. that saith unto Zion, thy God
reigneth. Thy watchman shall lift up the
voice. With the voice shall they sing.
Together, with the voice together shall they sing. For they shall
see eye to eye when the Lord shall bring again Zion. Lord God, our Father, Lord, we
need, Lord, every blessing that you can give us in our Lord.
We cannot make it, Lord. We can't be in your presence
and we can't worship you, God, without your grace, Lord, being
in this place today. You've promised, God, that you
would not leave us fruitless or comfortless, God, and without
you. And we ask that you descend now,
Lord, and reveal the depth and The love that you have, God,
for sinners like us, for people who have offended you and sinned
against you, Lord, please show us that now again, your simple,
old, plain gospel, the truth of your son standing in our place
to die for our sins. Lord, thank you that we can be
in this place together, and may it be for many, many, many more
years. Amen. Number 34 from your Spiral Gospel
Hymns hymn book. Number 34, let's stand together. ? It is finished, sinners hear
it ? Hear the dying Savior's cry ? Hear the Lord himself declare
it ? Justice has been satisfied ? It is finished, O proclaim
it ? To poor sinners far and wide Holy Spirit, make them hear
it, Jesus Christ, for sinners die. It is finished, all is over,
Jesus drank damnation dry. ? What a Savior, what a Savior
? See Him now exalted high ? It is finished, look behold Him
? Seated at His Father's side ? Yonder on the throne behold
Him ? Christ our substitute who died hear him pleading as our advocate
on high his own blood's great merit pleading pleading justice
satisfied it is finished can you hear him all the work is
fully done Now believing, looking to him, we are saved by God's
own Son. Please be seated. Thank you, Tom. I told Tom what I was hoping
to be able to preach this morning. And he chose that hymn to go
with this message. And I feel like the whole message
we just sang, it is finished. We know when those words were
spoken, they were spoken by our Lord just before he bowed his
head, gave up the ghost, and said, Father, into thy hands
I commend my spirit. He cried with a loud voice, it
is finished. John chapter 19, verse 30. Three
simple words. Such a simple and glorious truth. Yet. Infinitely weighty. And profound. No more comforting words. For a sinner to hear. Then it is finished. It is finished. You need nothing from me? Nope,
it's finished. As I attempt to preach this message,
I covet your prayers for me and for you. The paradox of the gospel is
that The simplicity of it is so clear
and yet the more we try to use plain speech, the more profound
it becomes, the more weighty it becomes. The more of an impossible task
it is to preach it, and to believe it. Every time we preach the gospel
of God's good news in the accomplished work of the Son of God, our Lord,
our Savior, our substitute, we could title every message it
is finished. There's a three-word title that we could attach to
every gospel message. I hope that it would be applicable. If it's not, we haven't preached
the gospel. It is finished. The other one would be Christ
is all, Christ is all. We could title every message
it is finished or Christ is all, could we not? I looked up this word in the
Greek lexicon for what it's worth. And the definition given to finished
is to bring to a close or end, to pay in full, to perform, to
execute, to complete, to accomplish, or to fulfill. I thought, well,
that's what finished means in the English language. That's
simple enough, isn't it? To perform, to accomplish, to
fulfill, to execute, to bring to a close, to bring to an end. Something's finished, you can't
add anything to it. When our Lord cried those words,
he knew that this was the summary of Everything that he did is
finished. The first time this word finished
is used in the Bible is found in Genesis chapter two, when
the Bible says that on the sixth day, heaven and earth were finished
and God rested the seventh day. So there's no rest until the
work is finished. And so when our Lord declares
it is finished, he is saying it's now time to rest. The work's
been done. The second time that this word
is finished is found in the Bible is in Genesis chapter six, when
God gave Noah specific instructions on how to build the ark. And
he said, finish it with one window. One window. A cubit, which is
18 inches approximately, by a cubit. So this huge barge of three stories
filled with animals had one window. And it was placed in the very
top. And it was a cubit. And that's the window the Doa
opened after the waters assuaged and the dove was sent out into
the earth. And it's a picture of the light. the Lord Jesus Christ, that one
cubit, only large enough for one man to go through one at
a time. There we are. And the scripture
says in Genesis chapter 6, as soon as that arc was finished
and the last finishing touch was that window, as soon as it
was finished, the floods began. It is with what we saw in the
previous hour about the ark being lifted by the same waters that
brought judgment to the earth. Noah and his family were saved
by water. They were saved by water. So
we are saved by the finished work as the Lord Jesus Christ
absorbed. He took to himself. the floods
of God's judgment for the sins of his people. It's finished. The third mention of the word
finished that we find in the Bible is in Exodus chapter 40
God gave Moses very specific instructions on how to build
the tabernacle. And we know that everything about
that tabernacle points to the one who tabernacled among us,
the word that became flesh, the Lord Jesus Christ himself. And
everything about that tabernacle pictures him. And the scripture
says, when Noah, I mean, when Moses, I'm sorry, finished the
tabernacle, then a cloud covered the tent and the glory of the
Lord filled the tabernacle. So the glory of God could not
fill the tabernacle of God's church and of God's people until
he finished the work. It's finished. As simple as this is, I'll probably mess it up.
I want to try that. We have teachers in our congregation. There's a very simple elementary
school lesson, grammar lesson, I want you to see in relationship
to this phrase, it is finished. Because when we look at this
verse, we most often, at least I do, my attention goes to the
word finished. But finished is an adjective,
is it not? In this phrase, it is finished,
it's an adjective. And adjectives, they give meaning,
they modify nouns and pronouns and verbs. And so the word finished
is pointing back to it, which is a pronoun, and is, which is
the verb. And that's where I want us to
concentrate our attention. What is finished? And when is
it finished? Because that's what the Lord's
telling us. Finished is just an adjective. It's pointing to
the pronoun it, it. It's telling us what is finished. And it's pointing to the verb
is, and it's telling us when it is finished. In short, what was finished was
everything that God required for the redemption of his people.
That's what the it is in reference to. Everything. Remember finished
means complete, accomplished, fulfilled, perform. The Lord did not bow his head
and say, okay, I've done my part. Now you do your part and that'll
finish it up. No, he said, it is finished. Everything that God required
for the redemption of his people, he finished it. He didn't say, I make it available,
you execute it. He didn't say, I offer it to
you, you have to accept it. No, he said, it is finished.
It's finished. You know, we raise our children
and we want them to learn some sense of responsibility and some
sense of accomplishment. And so we might help them with
a task, but a wise parent will let that child finish the task. A wise parent will say, okay,
now you do the last part, you finish it. And that gives a child
a sense of pride and accomplishment and, you know, I did something
and it moves them on to the next thing. The Lord didn't say, okay,
I brought you to the very edge, now you do the last part, you
add your faith, you add your decision, you add your works,
you do your part, and then it'll be finished. No, he said, it
is finished. It's finished. I didn't leave
anything left for you to do. It's done. Oh, you see why this is such
a glorious truth to be believed by a sinner who has tried and
tried and tried again. to do something that would salve
their conscience and give them some hope of salvation. And everything
they try to do, they find themselves only more needful of someone
else to finish the work for them. Believer, you've tried to finish
it many times, haven't you? Here's the gospel, here's the
good news. It is finished. God's not looking to you and
I for any part of what the Lord Jesus Christ finished. It's done. Rest. The earth was created in six
days and then God rested. Why? Because it was finished.
The ark was finished with a window. It's the last thing on the ark.
So that after the judgment of God's wrath, the light could
come and hope of salvation could come. The cloud of God's glory,
the Shekinah glory of God fell upon the tabernacle and the presence
of God was there after Moses finished the tabernacle. Put that ark. It's finished. Turn with me to Joshua chapter
four, Joshua chapter four. What God did with the nation
of Israel in putting them in bondage in
Egypt, sending Moses to deliver them from that bondage, taking
them through the Red Sea, bringing them to the mountain of the law,
leading them for 40 years in the wilderness, and then Moses
had to die. Moses pictures Christ as the
deliverer. The Lord told Moses, I'm going
to send another deliverer like you. We are those children of
Israel in the bondage of the law, in slavery to our sin, trying
to atone for ourselves in Egypt. And the taskmasters of the law
continue to increase the quota every time we think we might
be getting close to satisfying the demands of the law, the law
gets bigger and we can never fulfill the law. So the Lord
takes us through the baptism of the Red Sea and for 40 years,
40 years is a generation in the Bible, for 40 years we left in
this world being led by a pillar of fire and a pillar of smoke
and being fed by manna from heaven and drinking from that water
that comes from a rock. This is all a picture of our
salvation, isn't it? But Moses couldn't take the children of
Israel across the Jordan River. The word Jordan means to descend
It's also a word that's used for death. And so the Jordan
River now is a picture of you and I crossing that river of
descent, that river of death, going into the promised land.
And Moses had to die on the east side of the Jordan. The law can't
take us to heaven. It can't take us to heaven. Only
Joshua. And Joshua's name means exactly
the same thing that Jesus means, Jehovah saves. Not Jehovah tries
to save, Jehovah say, you shall call his name Jesus for he shall
save his people from their sins. Joshua had to lead the children
of Israel into the promised land. And so the Lord Jesus Christ
has to direct us, has to take us by the hand and divide the
river of death and take us across on dry ground. And that's exactly
what he did with the children of Israel. Look at Joshua chapter
four at verse nine. The river is now divided. There's dry ground, just like
in the Red Sea. Water's walled up. And Joshua
sends the priest with the ark down into the middle of the river. And while the priests are there, Joshua
builds an altar. Look, in verse nine,
and Joshua set up 12 stones in the midst of Jordan in the place
where the feet of the priests which bear the ark of the covenant
stood, and there they are unto this day. You go to the river Jordan, there's
12 stones on the bottom of that river somewhere. And those 12
stones are representative of the 12 tribes of Israel, the
144,000, the whole church of God. The whole, all God's people
is finished. They're all gonna be saved. Look at verse 10. And the priests
which bear the ark stood in the midst of the Jordan until everything
was finished that the Lord commanded Joshua to speak unto the people
according to all that Moses commanded Joshua and the people hasted
and passed over and it came to pass when all the people were
clean passed over. The ark of the Lord passed over
and the priest in the presence of the people. and the river
closed up over the water, over the rocks. No one was left on the East side
of the Jordan when the people were clean passed over, when
the work was finished. Here's what it is. It is finished
what? the full salvation, the full
redemption of all the body of Christ, of all the children of
Israel, of all the sons of Jacob, every single one of them. I will
not lose one of my sheep. They will all hear my voice.
I have sheep that are not of this foal, the Lord told the
disciples, them I must bring in. This is what he finished. He finished the salvation of
his people. He's that ark, he's that priest. He's the one that went down into
the Jordan first. He's the one that divided the
waters and provided a place, a safe place for his people to
clean Passover, clean Passover. This is our hope, brother. This
is what he finished. There's nothing more to be done. Look with me to Luke chapter
14. And the Lord showed me something,
I don't know why, well, Lord's time. I'm sure you've probably
seen this. I've never seen it before. Every
time I ever read this passage in Luke chapter 14, I always
thought about it in the context of the believer counting the
cost of their salvation. I never really saw it as clearly
as I see it now as it relates to Christ finishing the work,
finishing the work. Luke chapter 14, look at verse
28, for which of you intending to build a tower, sitteth
not down first and counteth the cost whether you have sufficient
to finish it. Less happily after he had laid
the foundation and is not able to finish it, all that behold
it began to mock him. The man began to build, but was
not able to finish it. Now the immediate context that
the Lord's saying, He's saying count the cost. Count the cost
and that's how I've always understood this. But I see clearly that
this is a reference to the cost that the Lord Jesus Christ counted
before He built, before He laid the foundation, before He built
the building. The building is His church. And He counted the
cost in eternity past when He He became our surety. He entered
into a covenant promised with his father to lay down his life
for his bride and to redeem them by his shed blood. He didn't
start something he didn't finish. Turn with me to Zechariah chapter
four, Zechariah chapter four. Look at verse, Look at verse
7. Oh, great mountain. Mountains are those things that
separate us from God. What is it that separates us
from God? It's our sin. If you had the faith of a mustard
seed, you could say unto this mountain, be thee removed and
it'd be cast into the sea. And that's exactly where the
Lord Jesus Christ cast our sins. He buried them in the depths
of the sea and he gives his people faith to trust him for that work
of redemption, finishing the work by the sacrifice of himself. And here's what the Lord says,
oh great mountain, before Zerubbabel. Now the name Zerubbabel, Zerubbabel
is the grandson of the last king of Judah, who was taken captive
into Babylon. And Zerubbabel now is the one
leading the children of Israel back to the promised land. And
his name translated means sown in Babylon. So Zerubbabel was
born in Babylon. As the Lord Jesus Christ was
born into the Babylon of this world. in order to lead his people
into the promised land. This is what this is a picture
of. Who art thou, O mountain, before it's irrubable? Thou shalt become a plain. Thou
shall become a plane and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof
with shoutings crying grace, grace unto it. Not by works of
righteousness, which we have done, but by his mercy has saved
us by his grace. It's all of grace. It's all of
grace. It's all to his glory. It's all
undeserving, unmerited favor, demerited favor. Look at the
next verse. Moreover, the word of the Lord
came unto me saying, the hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation
of this house. His hands also shall finish it. And thou shalt know that the
Lord of hosts hath sent me unto you. What man building a tower does
not first count the cost of that tower? Before he lays the foundation,
he considers what it's going to require to build this building. Lest after he's laid the foundation
and gets halfway through the building, men begin to mock him
because he didn't have enough money to finish it. Now the perfect example of that
in our community is the I-4 eyesore. And I read a little bit up on
it in preparation for this message. That building was began in 2001. It is 22 years under construction. It is still an empty shell. Beautiful
on the outside, but you go inside, there's no walls, there's no
nothing, no furniture, just steel girders holding up that building.
And that building was started by and still under the authority
of a religious man who runs a television station here in our city. And
it is a testimony of man-made religion. We mock that man, that
is the eye for eyesore. And he's being mocked because
he started something 23 years ago, 22 years ago that he can't
finish. He didn't count the cost. and the men that listen to him
and that follow after him, we mock their God and they mock
ours. They mock our God by thinking
that there's something that they can do to finish the work. They didn't count the cost. The
Lord Jesus Christ counted the cost and eternity passed and
he became the surety of his people as the lamb slain before the
foundation. He knew what it was going to
take to finish the work. And when he bowed his head on
Calvary's cross, he said, it is finished. It's finished. It's not an empty shell of manmade
religion that looks good on the outside and is full of nothing.
It is filled with my people. The tower is finished. I counted
the cost. No man can mock me." Go back with me to that same
passage of scripture because the Lord is going to give us
another example. Verse 31, Or what king, going
to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth
whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against
him with twenty thousand? Or else, while the other is yet
a great way off, He sendeth an ambassage and desireth conditions
of peace. So likewise, whosoever he be
of you, that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my
disciple." So you see why verse 33 applies these things to us
in terms of us considering what is involved in this thing called
salvation. But here's the truth. Isaiah
chapter 40 comforts ye. Comfort ye my people, saith the
Lord. Speak ye comfortably unto Jerusalem
and tell her what? That her warfare is accomplished. Our king, when he went to battle
against sin and against the grave and against hell and against
Satan, he knew that he was gonna finish the work. I go to my father and when the
spirit of God comes, he's gonna convict the world of sin because
they believe not on me, of righteousness because I go to my father, and
of judgment because the prince of this world is judged. The
Lord Jesus Christ knew when he went to Calvary's cross that
Satan, sin, the grave, death, hell, all had to be defeated
and only he could do it. And as our reigning king, who
is now seated at the right hand of the majesty on high, and has
all things under his feet, reigns in authority, and one day will
come again. He finished the battle. But what
do we see in religion? What do we see in religion? Well,
you know, we've got to go out and send ambassadors. And we've
got to find some negotiating leverage here in order to get
men to do something in order for them to be able to be saved.
And they're doing exactly what this king who thought he could
win the battle and now he's halfway through the battle and he hadn't
been able to finish it. He hadn't been able to defeat
the enemy. And so he sends out ambassadors to negotiate some
plan of attack or some compromise. with the enemy so that he can
win. Is that not what we hear in religion? Let's compromise this thing.
Our king didn't finish it. He didn't finish it. He'll negotiate
with you. He'll He'll take into consideration
your works and your will and your wisdom, and we can find
some common ground here. No. Like Zerubbabel, the mountain
became a plain, and the Lord Jesus Christ, when he laid the
foundation, he finished the work. No man can mock him, and no man
will mock him. Men may mock him now because
they don't know him. But in that day when the eastern
sky splits and the trump of God sounds and the Lord Jesus himself
comes and every eye shall see him and every tongue will confess
and every knee will bow that he's Lord. Men mock him now. They won't
mock him then. He's a reigning king, isn't he?
And we bow to him. We don't need to offer men negotiation
terms. You know, this is it. This is the armistice. This is the laying down of your
weapons. And he doesn't need, you know,
when a winning country, you know, goes to lay down terms for peace,
they have, the loser doesn't have any say-so in it. They've
just got to go with whatever they can get. They don't have
anything to offer. When the peace treaties were
drawn up, Germany and Japan, they didn't have anything to
offer. Somebody else called all the
conditions and all the terms. And so it is with our God. We
have nothing to offer. We come to the peace table and
he puts down all the conditions. And the condition is, it's finished. It's finished. You've got nothing
to add to what I've done. I got the victory all by myself. Turn with me to Romans chapter
nine, Romans chapter nine. It is finished. Oh, so simple. and yet so infinitely
and eternally profound and glorious. How do we do justice to this
message? It's finished. Look at Romans chapter nine at
verse 27. Isaiah also crieth concerning
Israel. Though the number of the children
of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall, shall be
saved. For he will finish the work and
cut it short in righteousness because a short work will the
Lord make upon the earth. The Lord Jesus Christ accomplished
in 33 years what man could not do in 6,000 years. He accomplished
in three hours on Calvary's cross what you and I could not do in
300 lifetimes. He satisfied the demands of God's
justice. He took upon himself all the
sins of all of God's people. He quenched the fire of God's
wrath. He finished it. And he made a
short work of it. A short work of it. Men have
been trying to do what the... Adam couldn't do it. In the perfect
environment of the garden. Where there was no opposition. There was no contradiction. The
Lord Jesus Christ came into this world. He suffered the contradiction
of sinners. He had the full weight. of the
law of God upon him and he cut it short in righteousness and
he finished the work. The very first words we have
spoken of the Lord Jesus Christ is when he was 12 years old.
When left in Jerusalem and the first thing that he says to his
mother, did you not know that I must be about my father's business? This is my father's business.
What is his father's business? To save his people. To save his
people. We are sanctified through the
offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. Once for all. He finished it
once for all. He made a short work of it. For
by one offering, he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified."
It, it. You see, this is all that it
refers to. This is the pronoun that finished is speaking of. It is finished. John chapter 4, when the disciples
came back from Sychar and the Lord had just been speaking with
that woman at the well, and she went back to tell the men of
that city that she had found the Christ, and more accurately,
that he had found her. The disciples tried to give him
food to eat, and he wasn't hungry. And they were confused, and he
said to them, have meat to eat that you know not of. For my
meat, my meat is to do the will of the father which sent me."
What was the will of the father? It was to save his people from
their sins. And that was his meat and that's
what he finished. And in John chapter 17, when
he offers to his father that high priestly prayer. He said,
father, I have glorified thee upon the earth. I have finished
the work which thou gavest me to do. It is finished. Are these not the most comforting
words a sinner can hear? Nothing left to be done. Turn
to me to Daniel chapter nine, Daniel chapter nine. And look at verse 24. This is
the prophecy of what the Lord would finish when he came. 70 weeks are determined upon
thy people. Daniel is in Babylon with the
children of Israel receiving this prophecy of what God was
going to do in sending the people back to Jerusalem and leaving
them there for another 490 years, which is what the 70 weeks is
a reference to. And so 490 years from now, something's
gonna happen. 70 weeks are determined upon thy
people and upon thy holy city. And in 70 weeks, he's going to
come and finish the transgression. He's going to make a full and
final payment for sin. Now, if I owe a bill at the bank
and and you go pay that bill off, paid in full. And then I
go after you've done that and try to make another payment to
the bank. If it's a legitimate bank, they'll
just say to me, you can't make any more payments on that. It's
not possible for us to receive any money from you. The bill
is paid in full. And that's what it means to finish
the transgression, to make an end of sins. They're gone. They're put away. They don't
exist. They've been buried in the depths
of the sea. They've been separated from you as far as the East is
from the West. God said, I remember them no
more. It's finished. It's finished. You can come before
the throne of grace with a clear conscience before God, knowing
that there is no sin. He finished it. He made reconciliation for iniquity. Our sin separated us from our
God. And the ministry of the gospel
is called the ministry of reconciliation. So that God has reconciled us. Turn to me to 2 Corinthians chapter
five. 2 Corinthians chapter five. Look at verse 18. 2 Corinthians 5, verse 18, and
all things are of God. All things are of God. Well,
that's pretty simple, isn't it? He did it all and did it all
by himself. All things are of God. who hath
reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us
the ministry of reconciliation, to wit God, that God was in Christ,
reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses
unto them, and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then, We are ambassadors
for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us, we pray you
in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God, for he hath made him
to be sin for us who knew no sin, that we might be made the
righteousness of God in him. It's finished. He makes his enemies his footstool. He causes those who have the
sword of their tongue wagging to turn their tongue into plowshares,
their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning
forks. And he makes them ambassadors
so that we plead with men, come to Christ, be reconciled. Your sins have separated you
from your God. The Lord Jesus Christ has finished
the work. You say, well, I gotta do something
to make it work. No, no, no, no. That's the whole
point of faith. Faith is doing nothing. Faith
is looking to Christ alone. Faith is confessing that he is
all in salvation, that he finished the work. You're not bringing
anything. If you come by faith, it's the
opposite of work. You're not bringing anything.
Nothing but your sin, the mountain that separated you from God to
which he made a plane. And then back to our passage
in Daniel chapter nine. He finished the transgression,
he made an end of sins, he made reconciliation for iniquity,
he brought in everlasting righteousness. God has given him a name that
is above every name. And he shall be called the Lord
our righteousness. And she shall be called the Lord
our righteousness. He puts his name on his people. And seal up the vision and the
prophecy. All the visions and all the prophecies
and all the promises of God were fulfilled in him. So that our
Lord said to those disciples in Luke chapter 24, he said,
all these things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law
of Moses and in the prophets and in the Psalms concerning
me. He finished it. He finished it. And to anoint
the most holy. Oh, that God would anoint him
in our hearts. Cause us to bow to him. Now in closing, it is finished. That's what was
finished. When was it finished? Is, that's a present tense verb. Not it shall be finished, or
it might be finished, or it will be finished, or it could be finished.
No, it is finished. Present tense. So when our Lord bowed his head
and said, it is finished, it's finished. You know, faith can only be experienced
in the present tense. Faith is to the soul. what breathing
is to the body. And whatever breaths we took
yesterday are not keeping us alive now. And whatever breaths
we might take tomorrow are not keeping us alive now. If you're going to be alive right
now, you gotta breathe right now. And so it is with salvation.
We don't look back to a past experience to find hope. Yesterday's
manna rots. And no one ever did anything
tomorrow. Today is the day of salvation. Now is the accepted time. The
spirit and the bride say, well, you know, go home and think about
that. Or maybe tomorrow you can come. No, they say what? Come. Come right now. Just like you are. Right this
very minute without moving a muscle in your heart. Come. It is. It is finished. Right this very moment. And a moment from now It is finished. And a moment from then, it is
finished. And the only time it can be finished
for me and you is in the present tense. It is finished. Well, you know, I have to wait
and see if I have something Do you not see the self-righteousness
in that? Waiting for a feeling? Waiting
for an experience? Waiting for something to happen?
Waiting for you to get better understanding and better knowledge?
It is finished, the simplicity of that. And if you're waiting for something
else, you don't believe it is finished. If you're waiting for anything
to be saved, It's only because you do not believe that it is
finished. Oh, what a glorious gospel. It's finished, brother. Come,
come. Tom, you come please. 232, in
the hardback tenor, 232. Christ our Redeemer died on the
cross, died for the sinner, paid all his due. Sprinkle your soul
with the blood of the Lamb, and I will pass, will pass over you. When I see the blood When I see
the blood When I see the blood I will pass, I will pass over
you ? Chiefest of sinners Jesus will save ? All He has promised
that He will do ? Wash in the fountain open for sin ? And I
will pass, will pass over you ? When I see the blood When I
see the blood, when I see the blood, I will pass, I will pass
over you. ? Judgment is coming, all will
be there ? Each one receiving justly his due ? Hide in the
saving, sin-cleansing blood ? And I will pass, will pass over you
? When I see the blood When I see the blood, when I see the blood,
I will pass, I will pass over you. ? Oh, great compassion, oh, boundless
love ? Oh, loving kindness, faithful and true ? Find peace and shelter
under the blood ? And I will pass, will pass over you ? When
I see the blood When I see the blood, when I see the blood,
I will pass, I will pass over you. Yeah.
