In case you weren't here the
first hour, I announced that Angus Fisher from Australia will
be here Wednesday night to preach for us, and so I hope that you
can come and be a part of that. Hebrews 9, verse 12, Neither
by the blood of bulls and goats, but by His own blood, He entered
in once to the holy place, having obtained, past tense,
eternal redemption for us. We worship a God who has obtained
eternal redemption for His people. What a comfort, what a hope.
And God be pleased to enable us to worship him this morning.
Tom's going to come and lead us in the hymn on the back of
your bulletin. Let's stand together. O God, our strength to Thee this
song with grateful hearts we raise. To Thee and Thee alone
belongs all worship, love, and praise. In troubles dark and
stormy hour, Thine ear hath heard our prayer, And graciously Thine
arm of power Hath saved us from despair. Led by the light Thy
grace imparts, ne'er may we bow the knee to idols which our wayward
hearts set up instead of Thee. So shall thy choices gifts, O
Lord, thy faithful people bless. For them shall earth its stores
afford, and heaven its happiness. Please be seated. Will you open your Bibles with
me to Hebrews chapter 12 for our call to worship. Hebrews
chapter 12. The Lord in the previous chapter speaks to us about the faith
of several of the Old Testament saints. They're just like you. They're just like me. If you go back and compare their
actual experience in the Old Testament to what's said about
them in Hebrews chapter 11, it sounds like two different people.
Their actual experience is a struggle with faith, and in Hebrews chapter
11, the Lord just declares them as being faithful. Chapter 12, verse 1, Wherefore,
seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of
witnesses, Let us lay aside every weight and the sin which doth
so easily beset us. You know what that sin is? It's the
same sin for you as it is for me. It's unbelief. It's unbelief. It's looking somewhere
other than Christ for the hope of our salvation and for our
happiness. It's the sin that always besets us. And let us
run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto
Jesus. That's faith. Everything else
is the sin that does so easily beset us, looking unto Jesus,
the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was
set before Him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set
down at the right hand of the throne of God. He ascended back into glory,
took with him the names of those for whom he lived and died, and
he seated at the right hand of God. And the Father said, sit
thou here at my right hand until I make all thine enemies thy
footstool. The Lord Jesus Christ has finished
the work. Eternal redemption is secure.
God's people are saved. For consider Him. Look to Him. We're all so self-absorbed, aren't
we? Wake up in the morning, open
our eyes, and instantly we become the center of the universe, don't
we? And we interpret everything as
it relates to us. And the Lord says, look up, consider
him. That endured such contradiction
of centers against himself, lest you be wearied and faint in your
minds. We do get weary, don't we? Lord,
refresh our souls, enable us to look up and to believe that
our redemption draweth nigh. Let's pray together. Our Heavenly
Father, we're thankful that you have
spoken so plainly and so powerfully in thy word, revealing to sinners
their need for a savior. Lord, we come before your throne
of grace, asking that you would fulfill these promises in our
hearts, enabling us to be drawn into thy presence and to worship
you. In the power of your spirit,
Lord, reveal the truth of the gospel according to your word
and show us the glorious accomplishments of our Savior. Show us His person. Enable us to glory in His presence. We pray for Robert. We ask again
that you would recover him from the surgery and give him his
strength and return he, Indiana, back to us. We ask it in Christ's
name. Let's stand together again. We'll sing hymn number 125. I hear the Savior say, Thy strength
indeed is small, Child of weakness, watch and pray, Find in me thine
all in all. Jesus paid it all, all to Him
I owe. Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow. Lord, now indeed I find thy power
and thine alone can change the leopard's spots and melt the
heart of stone. Jesus paid it all, all to Him
I owe. Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow. For nothing good have I, whereby
thy grace to claim. I'll wash my garments white in
the blood of Calvary's Lamb. Jesus paid it all. All to Him I owe. Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow. And when before the throne I
stand in Him complete, Jesus died my soul to save, my lips
shall still repeat, Jesus paid it all, All to him I owe. Sin had left a crimson stain. He washed it white as snow. Please be seated. Will you open your Bibles with
me to Isaiah? Chapter 52, Isaiah 52. What is our message? What is our message? Someone accused me of preaching
to unbelievers. Not believers. Well, it's the same message. It's the same message. I'm preaching
to sinners. Preaching Christ to sinners.
Declaring salvation is of the Lord. Here it is, right here
in Isaiah chapter 52. Verse 7, 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. That's my message. That's the
only message I've got. Now you wouldn't go listen to
someone play a musical instrument that could only play one note.
But you'll come listen to a man preach the gospel who keeps strumming
the same note over and over and over again Why? Because he's
the one you need He's the one you need Peter Peter said it
like this to whom coming as unto a living stone We never tire of coming to the
Lord Jesus Christ. We sing the same song, we preach
the same message, we ring the bell at the same note every single
time, thy God reigneth. He hath done whatsoever he wills
with all the armies of the heavens and all the inhabitants of the
earth. No man can stay his hand and
no man can say unto him, what doest thou? He is the potter,
we are the clay. He makes of the same lump of
clay some vessels of honor and some of dishonor. And no man can say unto him,
why have you made me thus? He always does what's right. He reigns sovereign over all
the affairs of your life and my life. And that's what we need
to hear. That's what we need to hear.
Why? Because we're so quick to lose sight of that. We're so
quick to try to take control of the circumstances of our lives.
We're so quick to think that things are out of control. The Lord said He makes all things,
all things beautiful in His time. And so look at verse 8 of this
same passage, thy watchman, God has made me a watchman, thy watchman
lift up the voice and with the voice Together shall they sing
for they shall see I to I all of God's watchmen believe the
same thing and They ring the same bell and they play the same
note and they declare the same gospel from many different we
we we look all through the scriptures, don't we and We believe all scripture
is given by inspiration of God. We believe all scripture is profitable
for doctrine, for correction, for reproof, for instruction
in righteousness that the man of God may be thoroughly furnished
unto all good works. We believe that scriptures were
given were God-breathed. They're not by private interpretation.
Man didn't just sit down and say, well, you know, it seems
to me that it ought to be this way. No, holy men of God wrote
as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. And they wrote nothing
less than the Word of God. And we preach the whole counsel
of God's Word, and the whole counsel of God's Word keeps pointing
us back to the Word of God. the Living Word, the Lord Jesus
Christ, in the volume of the book it is written of me." So
it's the same message. Whether the Lord has been pleased
to open the eyes of your understanding and reveal the glory of His Son
to you or not, it's the same message. See, whether you've
been converted or whether you're still in your sins, you're still
a sinner in need of a Savior. You're still in need of someone
to tell you about the Lord Jesus Christ and to preach Christ to
you. Paul said, we profess to know
nothing among you save Christ and Him crucified. We preach the Lord Jesus Christ. Why? Because He is my life. He's
the hope of my salvation. He's all I've got. He's all I
need, all I want. So the Lord says, these watchmen,
they all see eye to eye. They all sing the same song.
You know what I'm singing out of tune. It's a perfect choir. They're all harmonizing together.
They're all declaring the same message. the message of the glorious person
and accomplished work of the Lord Jesus Christ, that sinners
might be saved, that we might have rest and hope for our souls,
that we might be delivered from this evil present world and have
our affections set on things above where Christ is seated
at the right hand of God. That's our hope. And all of God's preachers, they
all see eye to eye, and they all say unto Zion, Thy God reigneth. You say, what's different? Well, a God who needs something
from His subjects in order for Him to be able to have His way
is not a God who reigns. Clear and simple. A God who needs you to make a
decision, a God who needs you to give Him permission, a God
who needs you to impress Him with your works or persuade Him
with the depths of your repentance is not a God who reigns. We are saying to Zion, Thy God,
and He is your God. Whether you acknowledge Him or
not, He's your God. We don't talk about making Jesus
Lord of your life, He is Lord of your life. He reigns sovereign
over the living and the dead. The spiritually alive, the spiritually
dead, He does with them whatsoever He wills. Our God reigneth. Thy God reigneth. A God who loves
everybody but who is not able to get them to love Him back
in return is not a God who reigns. He's not a God who reigns. No,
our God makes those whom He loves reciprocate. He makes them willing
in the day of His power. He makes them to love Him in
return. Why? Because He reigns. He reigns. He reigns sovereign
over your heart and over your life. He reigns sovereign over
the affairs of this world. He reigns sovereign in salvation. He's not waiting for us to do
anything for Him to be able to do what He wants to do. Thy God
reigneth. That's my message. And that's
the message I'm going to declare every time we come together.
And that's the message that comforts the hearts of God's people. Lord,
things aren't out of control. Lord, you really are on your
throne. Lord, everything really is right where it's supposed
to be right now. And people say to me sometimes,
well, I want to find God's will for my life. And I say to you,
you are smack dab in the middle of it right now. Are God brains? He reigns. He's ordered all the events of
our lives for His good and for our glory. For our good and for
His glory, He reigns in salvation. Our God sovereignly, according
to His own will and according to His own purpose, consulting with no one, chose
a particular people, wrote their names in the land's book of life.
He's not waiting for us to do something. Our God reigns. And
all God's preachers say the same thing. And anybody who says,
oh, God, well, you know, God, God wants everybody to be saved.
God loves everybody. God's trying his best. They're
not one of, they're not son of God. That's a false prophet.
That's a false prophet. A Christ who died for everybody
but wasn't able to satisfy the demands of God's righteousness
for those for whom he died is not a God who reigns. Our God
reigns. A God who makes his will subject
to man's will is not a God who reigns. Man by nature, and this
is true of every person, and it was true of you, man by nature sets himself on
the throne of God and makes out of the Creator a creature. Let me show you that. Turn with
me to Romans chapter 1. Romans chapter 1, and we'll begin reading at verse
16. Paul said, for I am not ashamed, I'm not ashamed of the gospel
of Christ. the message of the Lord Jesus
Christ. That's all I know to preach.
And I'm not ashamed of it. And it's good for you to hear
about Him again and again and again. Why? Because we are so
prone to wander. We're so prone to leave the God
that we love. And the preacher's responsibility
is to be just like John the Baptist, pointing to the Lord Jesus Christ
and declaring, behold, the Lamb of God, he's the one able to
take away the sins of the world. I'm not ashamed of the gospel
of Christ for it, the gospel, is the power of God unto salvation
to everyone that believeth, to the Jew first, and also to the
Greek. Our greatest need is to be saved,
is to have our sins put away, is to be made right with God,
and we can't do it. The Lord's got to do it. Salvation,
Jonah said, is of the Lord. Thy God reigneth. Nothing has shaken that. Nothing has challenged that.
Nothing has threatened that in any way our God reigneth. For therein is the righteousness
of God revealed from faith to faith for it is written the just
shall live by faith. The just shall live by faith.
Now, hold your finger there and go back with me to our text. How beautiful On the mountains
are the feet of them that bring good tidings. What is the good
tiding? Our God reigns. That's the good
tiding. Salvation is accomplished. It's
finished. That's the good tiding. Now,
what is a reference to the mountains here? Mountains in the scriptures
are Symbolic of that barrier which separates us from God and
we don't have mountains here in Florida But if you went to
a place in the world where there are mountains, you know Those
mountains create a barrier from one side to the other that's
the reason the Lord Jesus Christ said if you had faith and as
small as a mustard seed, you could say unto this mountain,
be thou removed, and it would be cast into the sea." Now, don't
think that the Lord is saying, if you just believe hard enough,
you can change your circumstances and you can say to this obstacle, Be removed and it'll be cast
into the sea that no to the contrary He's saying if you had faith
as small as a mustard seed a mustard seed can hardly be seen You would
say unto this mountain be thou removed and it'd be cast into
the sea What is it? What is the mountain that separates
us from God? What is it? The Lord said what
it is He said your sin separates you from your God. You see, it's not great faith
that moves mountains. It's the smallest of faith in
the right object of that faith that puts away your sin once
and for all and enables you to have fellowship with God and
hope of your salvation. You see that? Looking unto Jesus, the author
and the finisher of your faith, who for the joy that was set
before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and is sat
down at the right hand of God. Don't we just read that in Hebrews? So faith is looking to Christ.
And it's not the amount of your faith that matters. It's not
thinking, well, if I just had greater faith, I could move mountains.
It's the object of your faith. You see, the religious person
has faith in their faith. They think, well, I'm just gonna
have more faith and then I'll really be somebody. No, faith
only happens when you acknowledge the fact that you're nobody.
Lord, I can't do it, I don't have anything. I've got to have
Christ. And the smallest amount of faith
placed in the Lord Jesus Christ will take those mountains that
would otherwise separate you from your God and cast them into
the depths of the sea. Beautiful on the mountains. Oh Lord, I need a preacher. to
tell me about what the Lord Jesus Christ has accomplished. I need
a preacher to tell me that my God reigns. I need a gospel preacher to declare
to me that my salvation is accomplished. And that God's not counting on
me to do anything. that he's looking to the Lord
Jesus Christ for everything that he requires of me. How beautiful on the mountains.
See now, when I say, when the scripture
says that sin is what separates us from our God, the biggest problem with our
sin is our self-righteousness. Go back with me to Isaiah 52
and look at verse 4. For thus saith the Lord God,
my people went down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there.
Now Egypt represents the law. The children of Israel were under
the taskmasters as slaves, and they were being required by these
taskmasters to achieve a level of production that they were
not able to accomplish. And every day they were beaten
by the law. And that's how we come into the
world. We come into the world trying
to establish our own righteousness, not knowing the righteousness
which is of God. For Christ, Jesus himself, is
the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth. So
we're ignorant of God's righteousness, and the Lord sends his prophet,
just like he sent Moses, and brings us out from under the
law. And he says, you're no longer under the law, you're under grace.
There's now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus,
who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit. We've got
spiritual eyes, we're looking to Christ for all our hope. And now look at the rest of this
verse. And the Assyrians oppressed them. Now, if you're looking
at a King James version of the Bible, you'll see that the word
is cause. The Assyrians oppressed them
without cause. That word cause is never in the
original language. You can look it up. The original
language is easy to access. It's never translated cause anywhere
else in the scripture. It's always translated end. End or finished And so what the
Lord saying is I don't know why the translators put cause there
But just put the word in there because that's the word the Assyrians
Oppressed them without end without end What does that represent
well a Syrian Translated means steps Why do you need to keep hearing
about Christ? Why do you need to keep hearing
the gospel? Why do you need to keep hearing
over and over and over again that your God reigns and that
your salvation is accomplished? Why do you need to hear that?
Because there's a Pharisee within you that's still trying to take
steps to make yourself right with God, and that's the barrier.
That's your sin. That's our problem. It's our
self-righteousness. It's not the things we're ashamed
of. Well, you know, if I could just pray a little more, if I
could just do this, if I could stop doing that, I gotta make
some steps. I gotta do something to fix this
problem. You can't fix it. You can't make
that mountain move. But if you have faith as small
as a mustard seed, and God enables you to look to Christ, then the
mountain's taken away. Now you have access to the throne
of grace and boldness before your God, and hope in the glorious
person and finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ. You're still
trying to step yourself to God, aren't you? That's the first thought that
comes to mind. What can I do? The Lord said,
when you make an altar, don't make steps on it. You go down
to Mexico, you see these old ziggurat altars that the Mayan
Indians used to worship. That was typical all over the
world. And the altar was on the very top. And God said, don't
make an altar like that. He said, when you climb that
altar, all you're going to do is expose your nakedness. And that's all. You see, when
you try to make steps to get to God, All you're doing is exposing
your nakedness. That's what Adam's problem was,
wasn't it? The scripture says that Adam
and his wife were naked and they were not ashamed until they ate
of the fruit. And what's the first thing they
tried to do? We got to fix this problem. We got to sew together
some fig leaves. Shut down the manufacturing of
fig leaf clothing. You can't cover your nakedness.
God had to come and slay a lamb in the garden and shed its blood
and take the fleece of that lamb in order to cover Adam and Eve's
nakedness. See, we're all still without
end. Every day, every day, the Assyrian
oppress us, don't they? You see, because if you're not
looking to Christ, you're being oppressed. You're being oppressed
by your own righteousness. Thinking, well, if I just try
a little harder, do a little more. No. Look to Christ. I know your faith may be small
as a mustard seed, but it's okay. As long as it's on the Lord Jesus
Christ. And if that be the case, all
those mountains, the mountains of your self-righteousness, the
mountains of your self-atoning efforts, God says, will be cast
into the sea and you will see, my God reigns. My God reigns. Matthew chapter 8, the Lord goes
to Capernaum and a centurion, now that's a Roman soldier who's
got charge over a hundred Roman soldiers. This is a man of power,
this is a man, I mean he had, he walked down the street and
everybody moved out of the way. And he came to the Lord Jesus
Christ and he begged the Lord to heal his servant. And the
Lord said, I'll come. And the centurion said, oh no,
Lord, I am not worthy that thou should come into my house. Only
speak the word and my servant shall be healed. For I am a man
of authority. I say unto this man, come, and
he comes. I say unto that man, go, and
he goes. And if I've got that kind of
authority with men, I know you as the Son of God have all authority. And the scripture says that the
Lord Jesus Christ was astonished. The Son of God was astonished.
He said, I've not seen such faith in all of Israel. Here's a Roman
soldier who knows that he's not worthy for me to come into his
house, but he knows also that I have the authority to speak
the word right here and all the way back at his house, his servant's
gonna be healed. And the Lord spoke the word and
his servant was healed. Now that's faith. Faith is believing
in your absolute total inability and confessing his ability. And that's the good news. That's
the good news. You remember when John was in
prison, and John sent his disciples back to the Lord, and he asked
them, he said, you know, I don't know what John was struggling
with. I do know, because I have doubts, I have fears. And here
John was about to have his head cut off. And John was just like
the other disciples. He thought, you know, when the
Messiah came, he was going to establish a worldly kingdom.
And so he said, aren't thou the one who should come or do we
look for another? And the Lord with compassion
on John said, go back and tell John what you hear and what you
see. Tell him that the blind see. Tell him that the deaf hear.
Tell him that the lame are walking. Tell him that the dead are raised
from the dead. And tell him that the good news
is being preached. The gospel is being preached
to the poor. And they went back and told John
that. He was ready to have his head cut off. Okay, I'm okay.
I'm okay. Why? Because I've heard the good
news. I've heard the good news that
Christ has come. He's come to give sight to the
blind. You were born blind. You're born blind. The Lord's
got to open the eyes of your understanding and enable you
to see Christ for who he is. Oh, but what good news. God's
watchmen declare to you, our God reigns. They publish the
good news. that our God gives sight to the
blind. He enables those who are lame
to walk. He enables those who are deaf to hear the Word of
God. I stand amazed. I stand amazed
at how long a person can come and sit and not hear. And I remind you, Isaiah chapter
6, Isaiah chapter 6 is the most often repeated verse in the New
Testament. They will have eyes, but they
will not see. Ears they will have, but they
will not hear. Oh Lord, open my eyes. Unstop my ears. Raise me from
the dead. Give me eternal life. How do I know? How do I know
that I believe that my God reigns? Worship. Worship is the supernatural response
to the gospel. That's it. You're worshiping
God. Not for what you can get out
of him, but for what he has done and who he is. The Lord told the woman at the
well, he said, God seeketh after them who worship him in spirit
and in truth. For the day has come when it
doesn't matter where you worship, Jerusalem, Samaria, but how you
worship. The worship has to be from the
heart. The spirit of God has to enable you to worship. Worship
is not a decision. You didn't get up this morning
and decide, you know, I think I'll go worship. Worship is something God has,
you have to walk in and say, Lord, enable me to worship. Open the eyes of my understanding,
reveal Christ to me, and I will irresistibly prostrate myself
before thee. That's what worship is. Are you
prostrating your heart before a God who reigns? I mentioned this in the first
hour, but Esther, when she went to Ahasuerus, Mordecai was telling
Esther, you need to go to the king and intercede on behalf
of the children of Israel. We're all going to die. And Esther
said, but I can't go to the king unless he, unless he summons
me. And she went anyway. She said,
if I die, I die. And the king held out his golden
scepter and she touched the scepter and, and she got up, she got,
she saved all of Israel. The king has summoned you. He
has said, come, come. He has stuck out his golden scepter. And he's, he's been appeased. How? Through the work of the
Lord Jesus Christ. So you come just like you are.
You're not going to fix the problem. We just come like we are. Our God reigns. He reigns in
redemption. He's not trying to save anybody. He actually 2,000 years ago accomplished
the salvation of every single one of His people. Our God reigns. He reigns in regeneration. He
makes his people willing and they come and they prostrate
themselves before him. Why? Because they acknowledge
him as sovereign, the reigning monarch. They've got nothing
to, you know, sometimes we don't know how to pray. It's a whole lot more important
what God says to you than what you say to God. So be more concerned that God
gave you ears to hear. The scripture says, when you
come into the worship, let your words be few. Lord, let me hear you. How do I know if I've heard his
voice? I have been caused by the Spirit
of God to prostrate myself in His presence and to worship Him. To worship Him. That Syrophoenician woman, the
Lord called her a dog, didn't He? She came begging Him to help
her little girl. And He, first of all, ignored
her. He didn't even pay any attention to her. And then he called her
a dog. He said the bread's not for the
dogs, it's for the children. And what'd she say? Truth, Lord. And she worshiped him. She just
fell at his feet. How do you know if you believe
on the God who reigns? You worship him. You just, you just followed his
feet. Plead his mercy. Trust his blood
for the putting away of your mountains. Look how beautiful on the mountains
are the feet of him. Now this is the passage you know
that's translated, that's quoted in Romans chapter 10, when the Lord says, How? Whosoever shall call upon the
name of the Lord shall be saved. How shall they call upon whom
they have not believed? And how shall they believe in
Him in whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without
a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they be sent? How
beautiful are the feet of them on the mountains that bring good
tidings. The gospel preacher's just pointing
to the feet of the Lord Jesus Christ. Gospel preacher's feet can't
save. What does the gospel preacher say? He says what Paul says.
Follow me as I follow Christ. I'm just running after him. Come
on, let's go. We've got no place else to go
how beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth
good tidings a Gospel that depends upon you for anything is not
good If you're an honest person and
you think that God's requiring something of you He's requiring
you to make a decision. He's requiring you to to prove
yourself in some way and That scares you to death. That's not good news. That's
bad news. I don't know if I've done it
right. I don't know if I've done enough of it. I don't know if I was
really sincere. Well, here's the good news. You haven't done
it right. You weren't sincere and you didn't
do enough. And there are no steps for you
to take It's the steps that the Lord Jesus Christ made with his
beautiful feet when he walked up that mountain called Calvary
and laid himself down as the sacrifice of the sins of his
people. And God said, I see the travail of his soul and I'm satisfied. There's our hope. There's our
hope. Oh, I know you're plagued by
the Assyrians without end, aren't you? You're oppressed with your
self-righteousness and with your pharisaical thoughts all the
time. What can I do? What can I do? Nothing. Nothing. The hardest thing to do is nothing,
isn't it? It's already done. They asked the Lord in John chapter
6, what work can we work that we might work the works of God?
What can we do that we might work the works of God? And what'd
the Lord say? This is the work of God that
you believe on him whom he has sent. And God's given him all
authority and all power. He reigns, he reigns. He said all authority has been
given unto me in heaven and in earth. And no man can come to
the Father, or no man can come to me, except the Father which
sent me, draw him. You're in need of a reigning
sovereign to make you willing. You're in need of a reigning
sovereign to make you holy, to give you faith, to believe on
Christ, every part of our salvation's of the Lord. That's the good
news. The good news is that when he
does it, he does it right. He does it all. It's finished. It really is finished. It really,
really is finished. And all God's watchmen see eye
to eye They sing in perfect harmony and they declare the same message
over and over and over again to the unregenerate and to the
regenerate, to the lost and the saved, to the blind and those
who can see, to the spiritually dead and the spiritually alive.
Our God reigneth. He reigns. Our Heavenly Father, we are so
very thankful for the declaration of the gospel that You have given
to us in Your Word. Lord, forgive us for thinking
that we could add anything to the finished work of Thy dear
Son. And reign in our hearts, giving
us faith to look on Christ that those mountains that we build
might be cast into the sea, we might have access to thy throne
of grace. For it's in Christ's name we
pray. Amen. Number 31. Let's stand together. Repeat the last two lines in
each verse. Hear the voice of grace and glory
in our dying Savior's cry, rending rocks and hills asunder, to bring us night. It is finished, it is finished,
our victorious Savior cried. It is finished, it is finished,
our victorious Savior cried. It is finished. See God's pleasure prosper in
our risen Lord. Covenant blessings without measure
flow to us by Jesus' blood. It is finished! It is finished! Oh, how sweet
the Savior's word! It is finished! It is finished! Oh, how sweet
the Savior's word! Finished all justice demanded. Finished all required by law. Finished all portrayed and promised
in the shadows of the law. It is finished, it is finished,
bow, believe, rejoice with all. It is finished, it is finished,
bow, believe, rejoice with all. Jesus finished our salvation
when he died upon the tree. Righteousness and full redemption
redemption for his loved and chosen seed. It is finished. Hallelujah. Praise the Lamb of Calvary. It is finished. Hallelujah. Praise the Lamb of Calvary.
