Well, it's good to see everyone
this evening. Rex may be right, I may not be ready for what the
joy of being a grandfather will be, but buddy, I'm getting ready
to give it a good college try, I can tell you that. It's good
to see you all. If you would open your Bibles
with me to Genesis chapter 29. I titled the message this evening,
Christ Opens the Wells of Water. I want to look at Jacob as a
type of Christ, opening the water spiritually for his people. Genesis
29 verse 1, then Jacob went on his journey and came into the
land of the people of the east. Now this is the morning after
Jacob first met the Lord at Bethel. You remember he had stolen the
birthright from his brother Esau, and he was on the run from his
brother Esau. His mother and father sent him
to his uncle's house, to Rebekah's brother's house, and he was on
the run. And one night, I don't know what
night it was, one night on that journey he stopped, found some
stones, made them for his pillow, and there he met God. It could
be for the first time. He said, this is Bethel, the
house of God. And God talked with him. He gave
him a promise. I'm gonna go with you. I'm gonna bless you. I'm
gonna give you your seat after you, the land that you're lying
on right now. Well, this is the morning after
that the Lord met Jacob at Bethel. He gets up and he goes on his
journey. And the marginal reading says,
Jacob, lift up his feet. It was like now Jacob was walking
on air. Because now he knew something
he didn't know before. The Lord's with him. You know, this journey
that Jacob is taking from his parents' house to his uncle's
house is about 500 miles on foot. On foot. And I would imagine
that felt pretty scary to him. He's all alone. People normally
traveled in caravans at that time, safety in numbers and so
forth. But up to now, Jacob thought he'd been all alone. And now,
He felt safe because the Lord promised him, Jacob, I'll be
with you. I'll lead you. I'll guide you.
Now Jacob felt safe and he's felt confident. Not only am I
going to reach my destination safely, I'm going to find a wife
there. He'd been sent there to find
a wife. Now he knows this, this mission is going to be successful.
The Lord's with me. The Lord's leading me. And it's
just like his, he was walking on air. Jacob had met the Lord. And his heart just wasn't heavy
anymore. Not heavy with worry, not worrying about his brother
Esau catching him, not worrying about the guilt of stealing the
birthright from his brother. His heart wasn't heavy with worry
anymore. Jacob's heart was light. And that made his feet light.
You know, there is a very clear connection between the believer's
heart and the believer's feet. It's our heart that directs our
walk, isn't it? It's our heart that directs what
we do and how we conduct ourselves, how we do the things that we
do. God has created us, Paul said, unto good works, which
he had ordained that we should walk in them. Well, it's that
new heart God gives you that directs you to walk that way,
directs you in good works, directs you in worship, directs you in
looking to the Lord. But our heart also directs how
we walk, how we walk. It's not just we do these things
grudgingly, No, we do them happily. Our heart directs our attitude
in doing what we do. Jacob's attitude was happy and
lighthearted now. I mean, this is serious business,
but he was happy and lighthearted. The Lord was with him. The Lord
was leading him now. And there's a picture here. This
is how Christ came to save his people from their sin. Scripture
calls it a joy. It wasn't a burdensome duty that
he had to do. It wasn't awful for him. It was
a joy. The Savior came knowing his mission. He knew his mission. You can
tell that when he was a boy. Remember, his parents thought
they were with him and they had to go back and find him at Jerusalem.
There he was. He was teaching all those doctors
of divinity. He was teaching them the scriptures.
And they said, son, didn't you know we're so worried about you?
And he said, didn't you know I must be about my father's business?
He knew what he came for. From the very beginning, he knew
what he was doing, and it was a joy for him to do it. It was
a joy for him. He knew his father would always
be with him. He knew he was coming to redeem
a bride, to bring her to himself, and he knew he's gonna have her.
He's gonna redeem her. He's gonna buy her, lot, stock,
and barrel, call her to him. He knew it. And even when he
went to the cross, and this is serious business, the thought
of being made sin, just the thought, he wasn't thinking as much about
the physical sufferings as the thought of being made sin, made
sweat come out the pores of his skin. His body just seemed to
rebel against it. He felt so much sorrow, he thought
he was gonna die. He didn't think his body could
take it. Yet scripture says, who for the joy that was set
before him, he endured the cross, despising the shame because he
was redeeming the bride that he loved. Now, doesn't it touch your heart
to think of the Lord of glory finding joy in suffering for
your sin? That's too amazing to even comprehend,
really, isn't it? Just what joy in knowing the
Savior found joy in suffering and dying for the sins of his
people. Well, verse two, he looked and behold a well in the field,
and lo, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it, for out
of that well they watered the flocks, and a great stone was
upon the well's mouth, and thither were all the flocks gathered.
And they rolled the stone from the well's mouth and watered
the sheep and put the stone again upon the well's mouth in his
place. And Jacob said unto them, my brother, whence be he? And
they said, of Haran are we? And he said unto them, know you
Laban, the son of Nahor? And they said, we know him. And
he said unto them, is he well? And they said, he's well. And
behold, Rachel, his daughter, cometh with the sheep. Now, like
I said earlier, this was a 500 mile journey. from Jacob's parents'
house to his uncle's house, and he came to the exact right spot. Now Jacob had never been to visit
his uncle before. How on earth did he know where
to go? He didn't have a map, he didn't
have a GPS. On my way here this evening, my GPS told me there's
a wreck up here, don't go that way, go this other way. I'm telling
you, Jimmy, I had no idea where I was. I thought, am I even in
the state of Kentucky anymore? I mean, just came to just the
right spot. Jacob didn't have that advantage.
How did he come to the right spot? The Lord's leading him. The Lord's directing him. The
Lord brought him right where he was supposed to be. And child
of God, I tell you now, you take comfort in this. God hadn't changed. From the time of Jacob till now,
God hadn't changed. You wonder, why am I at where
I'm at? Why are my circumstances the
way that they are? Where am I going? What am I doing?
If you're a child of God, he's leading you. And I promise you
this, we may not understand it, but he's leading you right. I
can tell you where the journey's gonna end up. I can tell you
that. Well, read on, verse seven. And he said, lo, it is yet high
day. Neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered
together. Water ye the sheep and go and feed them. And they
said, we cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together,
until they roll the stone from the well's mouth. Then we water
the sheep. Now Jacob sees them and he said,
boys, y'all ought to water these sheep. I mean, it's high noon. The sun's so high in the air,
there's no shade for the sheep. He said, why don't you water
them and take them back up there and let them feed in the pastures,
let them find some shade up there. Don't you care about these sheep
suffering in this heat? And the men said, can't do it. Can't
water the sheep. And there's several reasons they
said they couldn't water the sheep. Number one, Maybe they
didn't feel like they had the strength. They didn't have the
manpower to roll this stone away from the covering of the well.
Apparently, it was a great stone. Normally, it took several men
to roll this stone away from the well, and they didn't feel
like there's enough men there. Now, maybe I'm being kind of
hard. But I also feel like they're just plain lazy. I think these
are just shepherds that don't deserve the name. They're kind
of just plain lazy. Maybe they could not. I bet you
they could have given it a try, don't you reckon? But they also
would not roll the stone from the well's mouth. Number two,
they couldn't roll the stone from the mouth of the well without
breaking their own law. Now, for whatever reason, this
seems to be a hard and fast rule that they had. Nobody waters
the sheep until everybody's here, which, again, to me begs the
question, why are you there so early? Anyway, that was the rule.
And now, if they rolled the stone from the mouth of the well, they're
going to break the law that they'd made up. And number three, they
wouldn't roll the stone away. They wouldn't water the sheep.
because they cared more about their traditions than they did
about being helpful and showing mercy to the sheep that God had
given them charge over. They're supposed to take care
of those sheep. Now I ask you, isn't that a picture of man's
religion? Man's religion leaves us in desperate need of Christ. We need Christ because we don't
have the strength to roll the stone from the mouth of the well. We don't have the strength to
earn eternal life. We don't have strength to earn
the water of life. We can't uncover that water by
ourselves. We lack the power to do it. We lack the desire
to do it because we're dead in sin. We're spiritually dead. We don't have any spiritual life,
so we don't have any desire for the water. We need someone else
to come who's got strength we don't have and open that well
for us, don't we? And that someone is the Lord
Jesus Christ. The father saw his people fallen
and lost in Adam, and he did something about it. He sent his
son to save his people from their sin. And when the father sent
the son, he came well-equipped for the job. Christ came with
the power to save his people from their sins. He came with
the righteousness to save his people from their sins. He came
with the ability to save his people from their sin. He came
with the power to do it. And I'm telling you, it wasn't
hard work for him to do either. And I'll show you that in just
a minute. But number two, we need Christ. Because if God would
save you and me, just wave his magic wand, issue a royal decree,
and save you and me, he'd have to violate his own law. He'd
have to violate his law to give us life unless the demands of
his holiness and the demands of his righteousness, the demands
of his justice, and the demands of his law are all met first. Now, God's gonna save sinners.
He purposed to do it. He's gonna do it, but he cannot
violate his law to do it. He can't violate his holy character
to save sinners. Now these shepherds that Jacob
met here at the well, they didn't feel like they could violate
the law, did they? They didn't feel like they could water the
sheep early. And their solution was just do nothing. Just let
the sheep suffer, you know. Now God can't violate his holy
law either. It's not an option for him. He
cannot violate his holiness. But instead of like these fellas,
instead of doing nothing, the father did something about it.
He sent his son to keep the law for his people. The law must
be kept, we can't do it. The father sent his son to do
it for us. He sent his son to keep the law, to obey the law,
to establish righteousness. The father sent the son to first
do something for the father. He had to establish righteousness.
He had to come with a sacrifice that would pay for the sins of
his people. God's law had to be satisfied first. The Father's
justice had to be satisfied first. Once the Savior did something
for the Father, once he established righteousness, once he had that
sacrifice that would put away the sin of his people, now the
Father is able to do something for a sinner. See, because Christ
did something for him. The son came to fulfill the law
for his elect so that the father could be both just and the justifier
of the ungodly. Thirdly, we need Christ. Pay attention to this because
this is something that believers need to be very cautious of.
We need Christ because you and I can't gain access to the water
of life because we're spending far too much effort and energy
caring about our religious traditions and making big shows of public
religion. So everybody will think how orthodox
we are. I've seen it happen. I'm not
talking about people in the Catholic Church. I'm talking, it's us
here. We need to be very careful of
that. We care a whole lot more about our religious traditions
than we do seeking God. A man told me one time, now, you
know, if you're gonna have a proper worship service, you gotta sing
three songs for service, for preaching. Well, we're in trouble,
buddy. We just sang two. Now, you tell me, where is that
in God's word? Seems to me like a Peter preached
at Pentecost and 3,000 people were saved. There's no record
of him singing a song at all, is there? Let's just be mighty
careful here about our religious traditions. Let's be a whole
lot more concerned about seeking mercy from God than we are our
religious traditions. Oh, let's be so much more concerned
about seeking mercy and grace and forgiveness from God than
we are trying to impress one another with how religious and
how straight we are. Look at Matthew chapter 23. Our
Lord told the Pharisees this is their very problem. Matthew
chapter 23. Verse 23. Woe unto you scribes and Pharisees,
you're hypocrites. For you pay tithe of mint and
anise and cumin, the smallest, most insignificant of spices. You're even paying tithe of your
spices. And you've omitted the weightier
matters of the law. You've omitted judgment and mercy
and faith. These ought you to have done
and not to leave the other undone. And look at verse 28. Here's
how he sums it up. Even so ye also outwardly appear
righteous unto men, but within you're full of hypocrisy and
iniquity. See, they had to form, didn't
they? Oh, they had their traditions, but they didn't have life. They
didn't have cleansing. And we would be well advised
to be very careful of that, that we seek Christ, that we seek
be washed in his blood, we seek forgiveness, we seek mercy, A
whole lot more we seek trying to impress one another with how
religious we are. These fellas, they cared about
their religious tradition, or their tradition here at the well.
You want me to tell you what Jacob cared about? Jacob cared
about Rachel. Look back in our text here at
verse nine. And while he yet spake with them,
Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she kept them. And
it came to pass when Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of Laban,
his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother's
brother, that Jacob went near and rolled a stone from the well's
mouth and watered the flock of Laban, his mother's brother.
And Jacob kissed Rachel and lift up his voice and wept. Now Jacob
very first laid eyes on Rachel. Here she comes with the sheep.
I'm telling you, it was love at first sight. Love at first
sight. He laid eyes on her, and I'm
telling you, now something happened. He got a rush of adrenaline.
Something happened. I mean, you know how men are. Men make fools of themselves
trying to impress women all the time. I've been married to Janet
for 35 years. I still do it. He wanted to impress
Rachel so much, Jacob went and rolled that stone away from the
well all by himself and watered all of her sheep for her. He
did it all by himself. Now remember, normally it took
several men to roll this stone away. Jacob did it by himself. Now I don't know what happened.
Did the Lord give him superhuman strength or something? Or like
I said, maybe it was just adrenaline. Something happened. He was motivated,
wasn't he? The old Jewish writers say, in
the for what it's worth category, that these other men were amazed
that Jacob could roll that stone away from the well all by himself.
And I'm telling you, his motivation for doing it was Rachel. That
was his motivation. He wanted to impress her. Now
all of that is given to us as a picture of Christ our Savior,
who came in the strength of God to do for his people what we
could not do for ourselves. The Lord Jesus Christ did have
superhuman strength, didn't he? He has divine strength. He has
all the power, all the strength of God Almighty. He came with
strength able to redeem his people from their sin. He came with
a righteous nature to obey the law for his people. In his perfection,
he sacrificed himself. His blood is so precious. His
sinless blood is so precious. It paid an infinite sin debt
for a number of people we can't count. That's power. He came with the power to save.
Here's Jacob getting ready to roll that stone away from the
well all by himself. That's a picture of Christ our
Redeemer. He redeemed his people by himself. Jacob didn't ask those other
fellows to help him. Christ asked for no help either.
He did it by himself. And like I told you a minute
ago, it wasn't hard work for our Savior. I bet when Jacob
came to roll that stone away from the well, he spit on his
hands. He rolled up his sleeves. I mean,
he got, you know, down on that crouch. I mean, he's gonna put
his legs and his backs and he's gonna, arms, he's gonna put everything
he's got and roll this stone away. He don't wanna start pushing
on that stone and get embarrassed in front of Rachel. I mean, he's
getting ready to give her everything he's got. And he rolled that
stone away. I'm sure that's what he did,
don't you think? But now when the Lord talks about redeeming
his people from their sins, he talks about using his arm, singular. The Father redeemed his people
with a mighty stretched out arm, the right arm of his power. And
who's that? The Lord Jesus Christ, who came
to redeem his people. He did it by himself because
he is the right hand of God's power. When Christ came, he removed
every great stone. He removed every great obstacle
that would keep his elect from coming to the water of life and
drinking freely. He opened the well, and he's
the one that waters the sheep. Now I want to quickly give you
four wells of water that our Savior opened for his people.
And I say Christ opened these fountains. It would be more accurate
to say Christ is these fountains. He is these fountains of water
for his people. And this is the water Christ
the great shepherd gives to all his sheep. At first look at John
chapter four. Christ has opened the water of
life for his people. John four verse, let's see, verse
five. or verse four, and he must needs
go through Samaria. Then cometh he to a city of Samaria,
which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that
Jacob gave to his son, Joseph. Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus,
therefore being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the
well, and it was about the sixth hour, high noon. There cometh
a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus saith unto her, Give me
to drink. For his disciples were gone away
unto the city to buy me. Then saith the woman of Samaria
unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of
me, which am a woman of Samaria? For the Jews have no dealings
with the Samaritans. Jesus answered and said unto
her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith
to thee, give me to drink, thou wouldst have asked him. and he
would have given thee living water. Christ gives this living
water to all of his people. More accurately, Christ is the
living water for his people. He is eternal life for his people. What did the Savior say? I am
the life. Come unto me and drink and live. Come to me. Don't go to the fountains
of religion and the all the rigmarole they got, he said, come to me
and drink and live. He said, if you drink of me,
you drink of my blood, you drink of my sacrifice, you'll never
die. The Savior opens the well of
eternal life to his people by giving them faith to come drink
of him and have eternal life. Now come and drink. Christ has
opened the water of the fountain of life for his people, eternal
life. Come and drink. Come and drink. He said, if any
man thirst, let him come unto me and drink. The question is
not what do you know or what do you don't know? The question
is not, well, do you know the makeup of the water? Is it well
water? How much limestone does it have
in it? How much iron does it have in it? Has it been filtered? In my neck of the woods, everybody's
worried about the train wreck. Pollution's in the water. Is
there pollution in the water? I don't know. The question is
not, what do you know about the water? The question is not, do
you know the biology for how that water will quench your thirst?
Do you know how that water's going to give you eternal life?
Do you understand? That's not the question. The question is, are you thirsty? The question is, are you a sinner? If you are, come and drink. Christ
has opened the water of eternal life for his people. Second,
Christ has opened a well that makes his people righteous. Now,
here's what very, very little biology I know Our body tells
us we're thirsty. Our body recognizes that we don't
have enough water in our body and triggers, somehow the body
tells us we're thirsty. It's our body's way of telling
us I need water. God makes his people to hunger
and thirst after righteousness. The old timers used to say God
salts his people. He makes them thirsty. When he
says, does any man thirst? Well, everybody's thirsty, he's
thirsty because he salted them. He makes them to hunger and thirst
after him, after righteousness, because they realize, I don't
have any. I don't have, I need something
I don't have. Now, just like I said a minute
ago, the question is, are you thirsty? If you hunger and thirst
after righteousness, this is what you know. I must have the
righteousness of Christ. I must have him. You don't need
no preacher begging you to do something. If you're thirsty,
you're coming to the water, aren't you? You're coming. If you truly
hunger, now I'm not just talking about you've got some interest
in religion and you're hearing some new doctrine that sounds
kind of interesting and maybe you like the preacher or you
like some of the people. I'm not talking about that. I'm
talking about if you're hungry after righteousness. You must
have Christ your righteousness, as your righteousness, or you're
gonna die. And my friends, you're blessed.
If that's so, you're blessed. Because you know what the Savior
said? Matthew five, verse six. Blessed are they which do hunger
and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled. They'll
be filled because he's gonna fill them. That's what the Lord
tells this Samaritan woman. He gives his people spiritual
water that quenches their thirst for righteousness, and they're
never thirsty again. You know why? Because they're
righteous. They're righteous in him. Look at verse 13. Jesus
answered and said unto her, whosoever shall drink of this water shall
thirst again. We're not talking about physical
things here. But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give
him shall never thirst, but the water that I shall give him shall
be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. See, if Christ is your righteousness,
you'll never thirst for righteousness again, because you are righteous. Christ makes his people to be
righteous. He's opened the fountain of righteousness
for his people. And we won't read this whole
story, but she's still hung up on some things. Remember I was
talking about traditions, religious traditions? That's one of the
things she's hung up on that kept her from drinking the water.
Look at verse 19. The woman said unto him, sir,
I perceive that thou art a prophet. Our fathers worshiped in this
mountain, and you say that in Jerusalem is the place where
men ought to worship. See, she's struggling over the
tradition. Jesus saith unto her, woman,
believe me, the hour come with when you shall neither in this
mountain nor yet at Jerusalem worship the father. You worship,
you're going through the forms of religion, you know not what.
We know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews. But
the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshipers shall
worship the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father
seeketh such to worship him. God is spirit, and they that
worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. See,
he's getting rid of the religious traditions, isn't he? Now she
doesn't know what to do. How am I gonna argue now, you
know? The woman saith unto him, well, I know the Messiah's coming,
which is called Christ. He comes, he'll tell us all things.
I just don't know what else to tell you, she said. And Jesus
saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he. Hold the presses. Now everything's changed. He
got rid of the tradition, didn't he? He got rid of all the excuses. I am he. And it says on down
in here later when that woman, when she left to go tell the
men of the city that Christ is here. You know what she did?
She left her water pot. She didn't need it anymore. She
met the master. Christ makes his people righteous. Now the third one is in John
chapter five. Christ has opened the fountain
of healing, spiritual healing for his people. John five verse
one. After this there was a feast
of the Jews and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now there is at
Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is in the Hebrew
tongue called Bethesda, having five porches. In these lay a
great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting
for the moving of the water. For an angel went down at a certain
season into the pool and troubled the water. Whosoever then first
after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of
whatsoever disease he had. And a certain man was there which
had an infirmity 30 and eight years. When Jesus saw him lie,
knew that he had been now a long time in that case. He saith unto
them, unto him, wilt thou be made whole? The impotent man
answered him, sir, I have no man when the water is troubled
to put me into the pool. But while I am coming, another
steppeth down before me. Jesus saith unto him, rise, take
up thy bed and walk. And immediately the man was made
whole and took up his bed and walked. And on the same day was
the Sabbath. Now, our Lord came to this poor
man and healed him just by speaking, just his power. The Lord didn't
need the waters to be troubled, did he? He didn't need those
other means. He healed the man all on his
own. Now, I read about this pool of
Bethesda and the troubling of the water. Most folks think,
at least sometimes, it actually happened. The angel troubled
the water, and whoever stepped in was healed. But there was
a lot of shenanigans going on here. You know, maybe somebody
came and their ankle was hurting. And they just kind of pretended
that the waters were troubled. And they stepped in and jumped
out and said, woo-hoo, I'm home. You know, nothing happened. It
was all show. It's just like these faith healers
do today. But our Lord came. The great
physician has come now. He's come to one of his sheep.
And all he had to do is tell that man, rise, take up your
bed and walk. And he did. Now that's a picture of the Lord
who heals all the spiritual diseases of his people. The Lord heals
every spiritual wound and bruise and putrefying sore that's not
been closed up, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.
It's Christ who makes his people whole. And I'll go back to this
tradition business. You don't need the tradition
if you have Christ. You don't need the troubled waters
of Bethesda if you have Christ. Oh, later on, oh my goodness,
the Pharisees got all upset. You healed this man on the Sabbath
day. You did a work on a Sabbath day. You made him work on the
Sabbath day, carrying his bed. Oh my goodness. Omitting the
weightier matters, weren't they? Of mercy, of mercy. If you got mercy from Christ,
the law is taken care of. Come to Christ. He's the one
who heals us all. Sin is not just us breaking the
rules. It's an uncleanness. It's a disease. Come to Christ and be healed.
All right, now here's the last thing. Look at Zechariah chapter
13. Here's how the Lord heals all of his people from all of
their sin sicknesses. Christ has opened the fountain
of cleansing. Zechariah 13, verse one. In that day, there should be
a fountain open to the house of David and to the inhabitants
of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness. Now here's Zechariah's
prophesying of the Lord's death. And he's not only talking about
a fountain of blood. He's talking about a fountain
of blood and water. blood and water that gives the
double cure for sin. This fountain of blood and water
gives the cure for sin and uncleanness, to pay for sin and to wash from
sin. And the fountain Zacharias is
talking about is the fountain that was open in our Savior's
side. Here we are with those traditions
again. The Pharisees, they came to Pilate and said, now you've
got to break the legs of these fellows on them three crosses.
They can't be hanging there suffering and messing up our Passover. We can't have that. So Pilate
sent a soldier out there to break their legs so they'd die quicker.
And he came to the Savior on the middle cross, and he was
amazed. He's already dead. Normally it took days and days
and days for a person who's crucified to actually die. He was amazed. The Savior's already dead. He's
dead because he gave up the ghost. He gave up the ghost because
the price is paid. The transaction is done. It is
finished. And he gave up the ghost. But
he didn't break his legs because the prophecy said a bone of his
should not be broken. But you know what he did? You
know what he did. He took that spear he had and he shoved it
into the Savior's side just out of pure meanness. This is a bloody
man, used to bloody battle, gore and all. Just for meanness sake,
he did that. And the Apostle John said, now
I saw this. This is true. Out flowed blood and water. That's
the fountains Zachariah was talking about. Outflow blood to atone
for sin, blood to pay for sin, and water to cleanse from the
uncleanness of sin. And my friend, if you've been
washed in that fountain, you'll never have to worry about sin
or uncleanness ever again. Your sin's been paid for. Now
hate your sin. Don't you wish you'd not sin?
Hate it. But don't think God's gonna cut
you off for it. You've been washed in the blood. The blood's been
shed to atone, to pay for sin. And all I hate is the sin nature.
I cart around with me, don't you? It's horrible. But don't
worry, you're gonna be condemned for it. You've been washed. You've been washed white as snow
in that fountain. Oh, what a fountain the Savior's
opened for his people. Whatever need you have of spiritual
water, you come to Christ. He's the fountain that you need.
Come to him. All right, Lord bless you, Rex.
