I invite you to turn with me
this morning to Luke chapter 5. Luke chapter 5. Good to be here once again with
the saints of God gathered to worship our God and Savior Jesus
Christ. We worship Him through the gifts
that He has given to us. gifts of understanding, gifts
of His Spirit, gifts of sacrifice, of His righteousness, of His
representation, all these gifts of God enable us to worship Him. There's nothing, as far as I
know, there's nothing going on anywhere more important than
what's going on here this morning. And I'm talking of one who used
to find all kinds of reasons not to be there. When I was small,
the last thing in the world I wanted to do was get up on Sunday morning
and go to church. Last thing. He says, not forsaking the assembling
of ourselves together as the manner of some is, but exhorting
one another. Exhorting one another. And listen,
and so much the more as you see the day approaching. So much
the more. We don't cut back on this, we
increase. We don't long to cut back. We
long to increase. We long to be there. I long to
be where the saints are. I don't care where they're at.
I don't care if it's in Montana or Virginia or Kentucky or here
in Alabama. I don't care where it is. I can
enjoy myself when we assemble together to worship our God.
I get excited. I've been pacing for two hours.
I don't know how y'all wait. I'll wait till 11 o'clock. So much the more as you see the
day approaching. Now Luke chapter five and verses
27 through 32 record the calling of Levi, which he tells us in
the book of Matthew is Matthew. Levi and Matthew are the same
person. I have no doubt that many of
the details of this calling are not recorded. They're not recorded. When we tell of our own conversion,
we leave a lot of the details out, don't we? Things come to
us over time. Oh, now I remember. I remember
that. I remember hearing this. I remember doing this. But here
in the record that God has given to us about the calling of this
chosen sinner, Matthew, He leaves out a lot of the fine print. A lot of the fine print. Like
details of things that he might have heard from conversations
of people talking about Jesus Christ. What makes you say that,
Preacher? Because I heard a lot of things.
A lot of things. I started hearing when I was
barely old enough to go to school. And I kept on hearing things.
I heard them at church and I heard them from my brothers and sisters
and I heard it from my friends in school. I heard a lot of talk
about this man called Jesus. A lot of talk about sin. A lot
of talk about heaven and hell. Matthew heard a lot of things.
He was a tax collector. He sat out there at a table in
the public and people came to him and people passed by him
and he listened. He listened. He heard things.
They had no impact on him at the time but he still heard.
Just like that thief on the cross. How did he know Jesus Christ
was coming into his kingdom? He heard. He heard. He may have heard it being said
as they mocked him standing around him. I don't know when he heard
it, I just know that he did. You know, at Christmas they talk
about his birth, don't they? Been hearing that since I was
that big. Easter they talk about his resurrection. A lot of talking. And in between they talked about
sin and hell and how God made it possible for us to escape
it. I had no doubt that Levi had
heard the buzz of passers-by talking about the most controversial
man who ever walked on this earth, the Lord Jesus Christ. He heard about his miracles.
They said this man raised the dead. I don't expect he believed
that, but he heard it. This man cleansed a leper, a
leper, a filthy, stinking leper. Skin falling off of him, pus
all over his little rag that he held on his face, and he laid
down before the Lord, and the Lord, he said, if you will, you
can make me clean. He said, I will. And he was clean. That's something to talk about,
ain't it? Deaf man, enabling him to hear and the blind to
see. He heard a lot. What I do know is that our Lord
walked up to this wealthy, practicing tax collector. despised of men,
especially religious men. Never worked a day in their life
for anything, but they was given all these things, and then they'd
cry about it when they had to pay their taxes. Our Lord walked right up to this
wealthy, practicing Republican, and he called him with an effectual
call. Boy, I tell you, when I talk
about When God called me, I could fill up pages with things. Let me tell you how the Lord
sets before us the effectual calling of Matthew. He walked
up to him and he said, he didn't even speak his name. He said,
follow me. Booked him right now. He said,
follow me. Wow. Luke chapter 5 verse 28 says,
and he left all. He left all. He rose up and he
followed him. The sovereign effectual calling
of God is irresistible. Nobody believes that except those
he calls. Those he calls will readily accept
that because it's their story. It's their story. They'd been
hearing callings and they was at me. They used to give an altar
call in the church I went to. They'd try to get you to, I don't
know what you're gonna do if you got down front, but they
wanted you down front, you know, and you'd get up here and then
they'd have you do something else. And they'd sign this and
say this and repeat after me and all of these things. Or didn't do anything. He said,
follow me. Matthew, it says, rose up. And
he left all, and he fought it. It's an irresistible call because
of who called him. My mom, we lived in an old salt
box log cabin up in northern Ohio when I was real little.
And it was cold, and we heated with a wood stove, and at night
daddy shut the door. Well, the heat would kind of
radiate up through the floor slowly, and we had plenty of
big quilts. I mean, we weren't freezing to
death or anything, but I wasn't in no hurry to get out of that
bed. And Mom would come over and call, you know, time to get
up. And I'd still lay there, you know, and she'd come over.
Son, time to get up. I'd just lay there, because you
never knew what her threshold was. Then Daddy'd come over. He said, are you up? Boom, my
feet hit the floor. It was an effectual call, wasn't
it? That's the way when God calls a sinner, it's effectual. It's
effectual because who's doing the calling? Who's doing the
calling? Oh, my soul. Never a man spake
like this man until what the scripture said. He don't preach like them Pharisees.
He preaches with authority. He speaks with authority. Even
the winds and the waves, His disciples said, obey His voice. Even the devils are subject to
Him. This man changed water into wine. He had authority over the elements. He blessed a few fishes and barley
loaves and fed five thousand. This is he who created the universe
with a few words. David said he spake and it was
done and he commanded and it stood fast. And people talk about men resisting
that invitation of God, whatever that is. When God calls a sinner,
it's a command, it's not an invitation. He said, follow me. He didn't
say, pretty please, will you follow me? He said, follow me.
And he followed him. He followed Him. There was nothing
that tells us in Hebrews chapter 11 that all these things that
you see were not made of things that do appear. He didn't use
this to make that. Whenever men start giving explanations
for creation, they said there was a big bang, this planet hit.
No, there wasn't any planets. What God created that we see,
actually see and walk on. It didn't come from things which
do appear. He commanded nothing to be something. Why in the world would he do
it that way? Because he's going to picture what he's going to
do to you and I. That's why. You know it says in Genesis chapter
1 in the beginning, he said, let there be light. He wasn't
talking about the sun, that didn't happen for four or five more
days. What he's talking about is the light of himself, the
light of redemption that's behind creation. And on and on and on
the scriptures go and tell us that. In Colossians chapter one,
he's before all things. He created all things. And by
him all things consist. That's the light. That's that
light. And just as God commanded that
light to shine out of darkness in that same way, he commands
that light to shine into our hearts and gives us the light
of the knowledge of the glory of God in Jesus Christ. He's
gonna tell you why he's doing to you what he does for his glory. Resist him? Not even in the realm
of possibility. Follow me. And he did. Now the
world don't hear him because he's not calling them. Nobody
around him rose up and followed him, just Levi. Just Levi. He didn't call everybody there.
He didn't call those who were lined up to pay their taxes.
He fashioned his eyes, it says, on a publican named Levi. And he said, follow me. The Lord said to the Pharisees
who thought he needed their acceptance. Isn't that the way the world
feels today? They're talking about accepting
him. They thought he needed their acceptance. They thought he needed their
approval. And he said this, you believe
not because you're not my sheep. Well, why did he say it that
way? I'll tell you why. He tells us right in that verse.
As I said unto you, my sheep hear my voice. Levi heard his
voice, didn't he? You know why? Because he was
speaking to him. He was speaking to him. And he
was speaking to him effectively. God has a people. A people he
chose before they ever had an existence. Before there was an
earth to walk on or a man to be made from the dust of it,
God chose a people. He chose a people. Before there was a world to be
born in, before there was any dust to make him with, God chose
a people. And He gave them to His Son,
and He gave His Son for them, and to them, and put Him in them. Isn't that something? He chose them, why? To manifest
His glory. The glory of the invisible God,
the eternal God, the true and living God. And manifested He did. What did
he manifest? He manifested the love of God. My soul, you can't find it anywhere
like you find it in the cross, can you? And when he tells us
to love, he points back to that cross, don't he? You want to
learn how to love? Here it is, back here. Above
your wives, husbands, like Christ loved the church, now listen,
and gave himself for it. Where are you going to learn
that love? At the cross. mercy, grace, justice, righteousness,
kindness, long-suffering, wrath. We're gonna learn something about
wrath. He manifested his wrath. He spared not his own son. He poured his wrath out on his
son. I can't fathom that. And he manifested an absolute
sovereignty over everything he did. He manifested his glory. Paul said, we preach not ourselves,
but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your servants for his
sake. That's the treasure. Treasure. He shines the light of the knowledge
of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. He shines that
in our hearts. And when he does, things happen. They won't happen until he does.
When he does, things begin to happen. Things begin to happen. And that's the treasure. That's
the vision that conquers the heart. That's the light. that
causes all else to fade away. I guarantee you, when Matthew
saw the light of God in that effectual calling of Christ,
that money on the table meant zero to him. He stood up and
walked away from it. It was in stacks on the table.
Those Romans, I know the Romans, he was a tax collector, the Romans
had authority out there walking over him to be sure he didn't
pocket half of it. And he left them. Left him standing
there. He didn't give him a notice.
Said he left off. He left off. Paul told the Colossians that
Christ is all and in all. And you'll see, when you see
him that's all, you'll leave off. Because his all is better
than our all. His all amounts to a lot more
than our all. I tell you, years ago I thought,
boy, you're making a big sacrifice. I don't know if you can do this. Well, it was nothing. Nothing
compared to what he did. I shamed myself for even having
a thought. The Bible said, God has from
the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification in spirit
and belief in the truth. And for this cause, or whereunto,
he called you by our gospel to the obtaining of the glory of
our Lord Jesus Christ. We have it. I seek it. I possess
it. It's in my heart. It's in my
mind. It's in my words. Have you got the picture? This
is Luke telling this about Matthew. He's a sinner, sitting there
doing his thing, making a living, climbing up the ladder of success,
getting plugged into society, establishing all his connections,
well, well, well on his way to earthly security. But the Lord
busted his bubble. The Lord opened his heart and
mind to hear and to see and to understand what was really going
on in this world. And with this glorious revelation
of Christ, it says, verse 29, Luke 5, and Levi made him a great
feast in his own house. Now there's no doubt in my mind
that Levi made for our Lord a great feast in his house. No doubt
in my mind. It says that he sat at meat in
his house. Whatever that was, he may have
roasted a lamb, or who knows? I don't know what he had, but
I know that he had a great feast. There was an actual feast. People
were invited, food was prepared, sat on the table, and all the
commentators said, and he made this feast for the Lord. But
that ain't what that verse says. Read that verse again. He made
him a great feast. I've eaten back here several
times and you all always have a feast. But that ain't what
we feast on, is it? We feast on Christ. We feast
on Him. And God saves a man or woman,
their mind and heart are ready to do anything to show their
gratitude for what He's done for them. The love of Christ,
Paul said, constraineth us. We have some understanding, and
what we understand, if all were dead, then He died for all. We were all dead. Only way we
can live is for Him to die. We understand that. And I've
read all the accounts, and they talk about this feast that He
made for them. But it doesn't say he made a
great feast for our Lord, though he did. It says, and Levi made
him a great feast in his own house. He was the main course. They brought me a menu down here
where we all like to go and eat. I've been down there so many
times, I just love that little restaurant. They brought me a
menu last night and handed it to me. I said, I don't need it.
She said, what? I said, I don't need it, I know
what I want. I told her, she said, well, you've been here
before. I said, no, I haven't. He was the main, Christ was the
main course. Christ was the feast on this
occasion. Our Lord said this back in John
chapter six. He said, except you eat of my
flesh. and drink of my blood, you have
no life in you. What in the world is he talking?
He's talking about feasting on him spiritually. That's what
he's talking about. And that was the feast that was
going on this day. It was a spiritual feast. They
wanted him there. They wanted to honor him. They
wanted to know him. They wanted to be one with him. Did you know that every celebration
Under the law was called a feast. I never thought about it before.
It was one of them things I knew and I didn't know. Every celebration
under the law was titled a feast. The feast of the first fruits,
and the feast of the Passover, and the feast of Pentecost, the
feast of trumpets, and the feast of tabernacles, the feast of
dedication, it goes on and on. Every celebration they had was
called a feast. He spake by his prophet Isaiah
and he spake of these end times. He spoke of that day when Christ
would appear and go out here and accomplish our salvation
and ascend into glory and reign. He talked about that. He could
see it through a vision given to him by the Holy Spirit of
God. And he said, in this mountain shall the Lord of hosts make
unto all people a feast of fat things. Oh, a feast of fat things, a
feast of wine on the leaves. My son, he's going to set the
table. He's going to set the table. He's going to put it all
out there. And then he's going to whet your appetite. And he's
going to fill your appetite. He's the feast of every true
believer. This is what the believer loves.
This is what he wants to hear. You came here this morning. I
hope you were expecting to hear what you're hearing. That's what we want. I start reading so many commentators
and they start getting off on all these things and I'm just
like, I'll come back to you after a while. Look over here, somebody's
talking about what thrills my heart. Let's get to that. Let's get to that. He's the feast
of every true believer. And this is what he wants to,
he wants to invite folks over to here. Come on over here, we're
having a feast. We want you to come. We want
you to come. Well, how do believers make Christ a feast? Well, let
me just give you a few things. We feast on His eternal appointments. Boy, there was a time when I
read that for myself for the first time in the Scriptures.
I didn't know what to think about it. I was never told that. Never told that. I was told that
He'd become a Savior. And I suppose there's a sense
in which He did, but He was a Savior. He's the Lamb slain from the
foundation of the world. He's a Savior because God appointed
him. Thou shalt call his name Jesus,
for he shall save his people from their sin. God appointed him as the surety
of the everlasting covenant of grace. You think about that. That was David's last words,
the last thing he had to say before he went into glory. He
said, although it be not so with my house, yet God hath made with
me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things and sure. How could
that be? Because there was a surety. That's
why. There was a surety. All the responsibility
of that covenant demands rests on Him. It rests on Him. He appointed him as the mediator,
one mediator between God and me and the man, Christ Jesus. Paul tells us in Colossians 1.18,
he is the head of the body of the church who is the beginning.
He is before all things and by him all things consist. It pleased
the Father that in him should all fullness dwell. He's the
mediator. Over there in Genesis chapter
two, Everything was created. God looked on it and said it's
good. And then it rested. And I asked our folks this the
other day. I said, did he not know Satan was cast out of glory
into the earth? That he was roaming around seeking
whom he may divide? Didn't he know that? Didn't he
know that after he created man that Satan was gonna tempt the
woman and then the woman was gonna influence the man and he's
going to cast himself for the woman into eternal death. Didn't
he know that? Didn't God know that? Didn't
he know that in just a few generations that every imagination of the
heart of men was going to be only evil continually? Did he
not know that? Didn't he know that when those
folks got over to Babylon that they were all going to get together
and try to make something a way into heaven other than Christ?
Didn't he know that the Jews were going to deny him when he
sent his son into this world? Then how could God rest? He tells
you in Ephesians 1. He first trusted in Christ. That's right. He first trusted
in Christ. And that's why you were predestinated,
and that's why He called you in that predestination, and that's
why He ordained all these things, and brings those things to pass.
He rested. The Father rested. In resting
us, He rested all things in the hands of Christ. Then this is
what he says in the next verse there in Ephesians 1, in whom
you also trusted after you heard, heard what? Heard how the Father
trusted all things to Him. It's when we know who He is,
that's when we trust Him. In all things He has the preeminence. He tells us in Hebrews chapter
10, he said, when he cometh into the world, that is his coming,
his appearance in this world. This is what it says. I come,
in the volume of the book is written of me, to do thy will,
O God. He gonna mediate the redemptive
will of God. by the witch will were sanctified
through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
The mediator. God did everything through a
mediator. He's the one, Paul said, who
made peace through the blood of his cross. And he become the
end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believed in
him. God appointed him our high priest. Paul said he's the anchor of
the believer, and that anchor has entered within the veil.
He's entered into the holiest of all, into heaven itself, being made a high priest forever. Now listen, after the order of
Melchizedek, who's he? Well, he don't have a beginning,
and he don't have an end. He's eternal. And he said, I'll
make him a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek by Christ. He's our priest. He's always
been our priest. He's always represented. He was
ordained for us, just like that old priest in Israel. He was
ordained before some of them people were ever born. He was
a priest for them. And then, fourthly, we based
on him as our appointed representative. In 1 Corinthians chapter 1, I
think it's verse 30, he said, of God are ye in Christ Jesus,
who of God is made unto us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification,
and redemption, that according as it's written, he that gloryeth,
let him glory in the Lord. That's representative. I represent
Him. He's my wisdom. He's my righteousness. He's my sanctification. People
talk to me all the time about progressive sanctification. I
don't look at them. I don't know what you're talking
about. He sanctified us once for all, didn't He? That's what
He said. He's our sanctification. He chose us in Christ, having
predestinated us under the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to
Himself according to the good pleasure of His will. David said
this, blessed is the man to whom God will not impute sin. He's
not gonna do it. Not gonna do it. Why? Why would God not charge a man
with sin? because he charged his representative. And he tells us when we go out
here to preach reconciliation, he said, you preach this, to
will. God was in Christ, reconciling
a world of sinners unto himself, not imputing their trespasses
unto them. That's what he says. You go preach
that. Your sins were laid on him. He hath made Him to be sin for
us, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. God was in Christ. God didn't
wink at their sin. He didn't erase their sin. And
He didn't overlook their sin. But Christ bore their sins in
His own body on the tree. Scripture said he died, the just
for the unjust. You know, Henry can tell this
ten times better than I can, but I still love to tell it.
Down yonder in that prison, the day of his execution, they're
going to nail Christ to a cross. And Pilate said, well there's
a way out of this. They have a tradition on this
day, and I'll release unto them somebody else. I'll release whoever you choose,
I'll release. So, you know, he's hoping to wash his hands of Christ,
not have any more to do with. And old Brabus down there in the
cell, he knew he was gonna die. And he's sitting down there and
he could hear them soldiers coming down that hallway. Brabus, Brabus
stood up, Probably just white as a sheet. This is the end. I took him by the arm, led him
out, unshackled him and said, you're free to go. He said, free to go? Another's been
chosen to die in your stead. I represented you. Oh, my soul. I feast on His eternal justification. That's the only reason He didn't
destroy this world when Adam sinned. Because God had already
established and ordained the means of their justification
through His Son. That's the only reason. I feast on that. People say,
well, you're taking away the reason for his coming. No, I'm
establishing it. If God appointed him as the means
of our justification, he must come. He must come. And that's what he kept telling
his disciples that they didn't understand. I must go to Jerusalem. I must stand before Pilate. I
must be put to death. And on the third day, I'm going
to rise from the dead. He just kept telling them that. I feast on His eternal justification. Our Lord was appointed as the
Lamb slain before the foundation of the world. And before every
man fell in the garden, God appointed for him the means of His justification. If He hadn't, He would have destroyed
him. The coming of our Lord Jesus
into the flesh is the result of his eternal appointments.
Listen to how the scriptures tell this. When the fullness
of the time was come. What time? That time ordained
by God from the beginning. A time near the end of the world.
Once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away
sin by sacrificing himself. When the fullness of the time
was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under
the law to redeem them that were under the law that they might
receive the adoption of children. I rejoice in these things. And
we're told this adoption in Ephesians 1.5 is predestinated by Jesus
Christ. God predestinated that. And to
try to make salvation an afterthought of God is to destroy the glory
of God. People don't understand. They
think, well, you're just nitpicking. No, I'm not nitpicking. You try
to make salvation an afterthought of God, you're destroying the
glory of God, which is the whole reason He created all things,
and the whole reason why He didn't destroy the world when Adam fell.
He's gonna manifest His glory. We feast on all these eternal
appointments. And then secondly, we feast on
his appearance in this world. I can feast on his earthly visitation. Why? Because I don't have to
question how God will treat a sinner. Amen. Well, I'm thinking about this
holy God, this just God who will by no means clear the guilty. God who promises his wrath toward
the sinner must be just in all things that
he does, must be righteous, he's God. Can you picture that God coming
to you and hugging your neck? Well, you can't do it, but you
can in Christ, because He did it. And this is God, isn't it? God was in Christ. You mean He
would embrace those that He loved? He did. He went into Matthew's home.
Those Pharisees, man, they looked at that and said, Why eateth
your master with publicans and sinners? They couldn't fathom
that. But you can in Christ. Oh, you
see him there? There he is in agony, such agony
I can't even imagine. He was beaten beyond recognition. Now the bone of his body was
broken, but he was swelled and his eyes black and crown of thorn
and blood dripping all down on him which had dried out in that
hot sun. And there he hung on that cross.
And while he was hanging there in great agony, he still saved
one more sinner, didn't he? Can you even imagine? This day
shalt thou be with me in paradise. Oh, I tell you, I feast on His
worldly appearance. I drink it. I just drink it in. I can see how God can be affectionate
toward those that He has redeemed. And He shows it. He does it.
He calls them. He calls them to Himself. He
protects them. On many occasions, those Pharisees
were saying these things to His disciples and the Lord was way
over there somewhere. And the Lord knew their thoughts,
He knew what they were saying, and He'd come over there and
answer for His disciples, wouldn't He? He'd answer for them. Freely showing His mercy, tenderness,
and compassion. Freely taking away that which
had power over them. You know, when he gives that
illustration of the prodigal, the prodigal had his little speech,
and I know he was going over it. He was trying to memorize
what he was going to say when he got there, because he knew it
was going to be emotional, and he knew his father was angry,
and before he could get out of it and tell him to leave, he
had this little speech made up, and I'm just going to be like
the hired servant. The last thing in the world that
boy expected was for his father to come running. And old Scott
preached on this one time, he said, and he kissed him, and
he kissed him, and he kept on kissing him. Can you imagine
God kissing you? He does in Christ. He does in
Christ. Oh, I think about that, Lindsay,
going home to be with the father, my soul. Running to meet him,
running to meet him. Can you feast on his appearance
in this world? God was manifest in the flesh,
great is the mystery of darkness. He was manifest in the flesh,
the invisible God. John said the life was manifested
and we saw it and we bear witness and show unto you that eternal
life which was with the Father and was manifested. And then
lastly, oh, how we feast on the risen Savior, seated at the right
hand of God. He's not patient. Men have been
patient, all wringing his hands, wondering, is my death going
to be in vain? I don't know what kind of God you've
got, but that ain't Him. He's seated at the right hand
of God, expecting. expect him until his enemies
be made his footstool. What sweet sound that must have
been when those ladies come up to that tomb and the angel was
standing there. He said, Whom seek ye? And they
said, Jesus of Nazareth. He's not here. He's risen. Oh, that's good news when you
know he's your justification. Raised again for our justification. He's risen. All for whom he died
are risen with him. That's what he said. He raised
us up together. Ephesians 2. Raised us up together
and seated together with him in the heavens. This one into whose hands we've
been trusted now holds us victorious in the heavens waiting our return. I'll tell you. Out there on that
hill. He stayed around for a month
after he was raised from the dead. He didn't run back into
heaven. He stayed here for a month. He
revealed, Paul said he revealed himself to over 500 brethren
all at one time. He's gonna log this in as a matter
of undeniable fact that he was raised from the dead. And then
he took his disciples on that last day, and he went up on the
side of the hill, and he talked to them for a few minutes, and
then he went over there, and here comes a cloud down, and
it's got some angels on the cloud, and he just steps over on the
cloud, and he said, all power is given unto me in heaven and
earth. Go preach my gospel. And he just started ascending
up into glory, and they just stood there with their mouth
open, and the angel said, why stand ye here gazing? This same
Jesus is taken up from you. He's gonna return in like manner.
You just step on the cloud and come back. Except this time he's
coming in glory. And he's coming with all the
glory of his Father's house. He's coming back. I'll tell you,
I can feast on that. I can feast on that. When you're
in the tomb or out the tomb, it ain't gonna make a bitty difference.
You call your lady, ask me at my sister's funeral. She said, If a person is cremated, is that
going to make their resurrection impossible? I said, nothing is
going to make their resurrection impossible. I said, the only
reason I don't believe in cremation is because I can't find a single
example of it anywhere in the scriptures. And it's actually
kind of a denial of the resurrection, ain't it? They took great pride
and care in the bearing of the saints. And God does. The death of his saints is precious
to him. Precious to him. Why? Because they ain't going to stay
there. And they're never going to suffer that again. Never going
to suffer it again. They're going to be with him.
Oh, my. What we have to feast on. Thank you.
