I'm going to ask you to take
your Bibles and turn with me to the book of Exodus. Exodus
chapter 14. Exodus 14. I want to read one verse of scripture
and then I want to go back into the earlier chapters of the book
of Exodus and just take a few verses from some chapters and
bring us back up to where we're going to read right here. Exodus
14 and verse 13. And Moses said unto the people,
Fear ye not. Stand still and see the salvation
of the Lord, which he will show to you today. For the Egyptians
whom ye have seen today, ye shall see them again no more forever. Now, the deliverance of the children
of Israel out of the bondage of Egypt. It's probably one of
the most well-known events that is readily recognized in the
history of that nation. God's people coming out of Egypt.
And it sets forth the glorious message of the gospel. And I'd like for us to just consider
for just a few minutes here that blessed event. For our study
today, I wanna just say from the Lord's encounter, you can
turn over to Exodus 3, that's where I'm gonna start. From the
Lord's encounter with Moses on Mount Horeb, which most people
recognize it to be the same as Mount Sinai, Ten Commandments
were given. Horeb and Sinai is probably the
same place. But I want us to just look from
where the Lord met with Moses for the first time, right up
into the passage, right through the Red Sea. Just not all the
chapters, but just places out of the chapters. And how every
revelation of the Spirit of God through Israel's history is a
beautiful declaration of God's mercy and salvation for his people. This is what we know. We know
this. God's got a people. It's a people
he's always loved, and he's going to save them. There's no doubt
about God saving them. So let's look and behold, first
of all, God's will and God's purpose to have mercy. I want us to look where salvation
begins. It begins with the Lord. Exodus
3 verse 1 to 6 says this, Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro,
his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock
to the backside of the desert and came to the mountain of God,
even to Horeb. And the angel of the Lord appeared
unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. And he
looked, and behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush
was not consumed. And Moses said, I will now turn
aside and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. And when the Lord saw that he
turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of
the bush and said, Moses, Moses, And he said, here am I. And he
said, draw not now hither, put off thy shoes from off thy feet,
for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. Moreover, he
said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of
Isaac, the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face, for he
was afraid to look upon God. I want us to notice something.
Moses was not seeking the Lord. Why was he doing it? Well, he
was tending a flock. He was tending a flock that belonged
to his father-in-law, Jethro. And it says the angel of the
Lord appeared unto him. Now, who initiated? the meeting. It wasn't Moses. Moses was not seeking the Lord. Man by nature is spiritually
dead. That's what the Lord told Adam. In the day you eat, you're going
to die. And he died spiritually. And eventually, because of sin,
we die physically. But man is spiritually dead. meaning that he does not seek
after God. In the book of Psalms 14, we've
read it so many times. There was none, there was none
that seek after God, none. Not of themselves. Now, when
God comes to them and gives them life, then they do. But until
then, they don't. And it says in verse two, the
angel of the Lord. Now, this, again, looking up
these words, that the angel of the Lord, it means the theophic,
theophonic, I'll get a theophany, what it is every time, almost
without exception, where you see the angel of the Lord, the
angel of the Lord. It was, according to Mr. Vines,
speaking of the manifestation of God unto man, or a pre-incarnate
Christ, the angel of the Lord. And the way that the angel of
the Lord, which was God, the Lord Jesus, the one that is God
Almighty, because it says in verse 4, and when the Lord saw
that he turned aside, God called unto him. So who or to whom is
Moses is going to be speaking. He's going to be speaking to
God. But he appeared in a flame of fire out of the midst of a
bush. Now here, the Lord appeared unto
Moses in type of the Christ. I've told you before, whenever
we see that title, the Christ, God, man, God made flesh. That's what we're saying. God,
man, he who is a consuming fire, God Almighty, God who never has
changed, never relinquished any of his glory, his honor, but
joined himself to human flesh in the form of sinful flesh. He was, he knew no sin. but he
was in the form of flesh. And here he is, he's a flame
of fire in a bush. That bush, it sets forth the
humility of the Lord Jesus Christ. It was just a bush. So here is
the willing, submissive servant of Jehovah, God himself in flesh. And that God-man mediator was
viewed by Moses and he saw him, he turned aside to see. And when he started to come over
to investigate, God called to him, verse 4, and he said, Moses,
Moses. He said, here am I. And the Lord
is going to teach him right now. He's going to be reverenced.
He said in verse five and six, draw not nigh hither. Put off
thy shoes from off thy feet. It's a declaration of humility
and reverence. Whenever we speak of the Lord,
we don't speak of him. We don't call him by his first
name, Jesus. Jesus, the spirit of God did.
When we speak of him, what do we say? The Lord. the Lord Jesus,
the Lord Jesus Christ. We speak with respect. Moses,
put your shoes off because the place where you're standing is
holy, holy ground. Why? Because he's there. I think
about where two or three are gathered together in my name.
There am I in the midst of them and based on his word where he
is, that's holy ground. The men may not recognize it.
They may not believe it. But it's so. Where he is, that's
holy ground. So here's Moses. And he's been
spoken to by the Lord. Here's the Lord's will, the Lord's
purpose to have mercy. God's gonna speak to him. And
not only do we see the Lord revealing himself unto men, and not men
seeking out the Lord. We behold the willing submission
of the Lord Jesus Christ to do the will of the Father, which
was to come into this world and seek his people. The one that
knows, he knows where his people are, he knows them. He says in
verses seven to nine, the Lord said, I have surely seen the
affliction of my people, which are in Egypt, and I've heard
their cry by reason of their taskmasters, for I know their
sorrows. And I've come down to deliver them out of the hand
of the Egyptians and to bring them up. out of that land unto
a good land and a large, to a land flowing with milk and honey unto
the place of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the
Perizzites, the Hivites, the Jebusites. Now, therefore, behold,
the cry of the children of Israel is coming to me, and I have also
seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them."
Now, he told Moses, after he revealed himself to Moses, revealed
himself to be who he is. He said, I am the God of your
father, Abraham. You notice he didn't say, I was,
as if Abraham was dead. Abraham had died physically,
but Abraham's not dead. Isaac's not dead. Jacob's not
dead. None of those that departed in
the faith Your mom is not dead. Len, none of them. Your dad,
they're not dead. I am the God of Abraham, Isaac,
and Jacob. He revealed himself to be who
he is. He's God. Then he said, I know.
I've seen. I've heard. The eyes of the Lord
are upon the righteous. What David said, Psalm 34, 15.
And his ears are upon their cry. He told Moses, he said, I am
come down. I've seen the affliction. Verse
eight, I am come down. To do what? I've come down to
deliver. out of the hand of the Egyptians.
Now, the Egyptians, I can tell you right now, is a type of man's
bondage. Bondage to sin, bondage to being
captured by Satan. Remember that when the Lord said,
how can a strong man, you know, how can one be taken from a strong
man unless the strong man be bound first? I'm gonna tell you
something, man by nature is in bondage. Bondage and that's that's
a picture of the Egyptians. That's what that all that type
It's it's it's a type of man's bondage in the fall Who had who
had the people of God the Egyptians type of sin? Being bound and
and for them to be delivered what's going to have to happen? Tell them to exercise their free
will I'll tell you what you do. Why
don't you let somebody take you just to prove a point. Go down
to the local jail and let them slam the door, lock you in. Just walk away. Now go ahead
and just exercise your free will to get out. Oh, you say, that's
impossible. That's right. And you'll get
out of that jail a whole lot quicker than you'll separate
yourself from your sins by your will. Our will is dead. It's dead. I've used the example
of a coffin. You can tell a corpse, if you'll
take the first step, I'll help you all the way to the back.
If that corpse can take the first step, it can go to the back by
himself. I have come down to deliver them out of the hand
of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land onto
a good land. What is the Lord Jesus Christ
done for his people? I've come to seek and to save
that which was lost. The Lord has told Moses, he said,
this is who I am, and this is who my people are, and this is
where they are, and this is what I'm going to do. Then he told
him how he was going to do it. He told Moses, he said, I'm going
to do it in a way that I've been pleased to do it. I'm going to
do it in a way that glorifies me, and he said, I'm going to
send Men, I'm gonna send men, frail creatures of the dust,
to declare God's will, God's purpose, the message of God's
liberty through the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. I'm
gonna send men to preach the truth, the gospel. Look what
he's told Moses in verse 10, Exodus 3. Come now, therefore,
and I will send thee unto Pharaoh. that thou mayest bring forth
my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt. Now, was Moses
gonna be able to do it by himself? No, sir. Moses was just a frail
creature of the dust. But Moses is gonna go with a
message. And we come with a message. First
Corinthians 121, for after that in the wisdom of God, the world
by wisdom knew not God. It pleased God by the foolishness
of preaching to save them that believe. How does God save sinners?
Through the preaching of the gospel. Not through a lie. Preaching lies. Preaching of
the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. That gospel that Paul
said, I'm not ashamed of it. It's the power of God and salvation.
And these men that God sends, let me tell you what their attitude
concerning themselves, what their attitude about themselves is. This is their attitude. Look
at verses 11 to 14. Moses said unto God, who am I?
That I should go unto Pharaoh and that I should bring forth
the children of Israel out of Egypt. And he said, certainly
I will be with thee. This shall be a token unto thee
that I have sent thee when thou hast brought forth the people
out of Egypt, you shall serve God upon this mountain. mountain
that we're on right now. And Moses said unto God, Behold,
when I am come unto the children of Israel, they shall say, and
shall say unto them, The God of your fathers sent me unto
you, and they shall say unto me, What's his name? What shall
I say unto them? And God said unto Moses, I am
that I am. And he said, Thus shalt thou
say unto the children of Israel, I am has sent me unto you. So here's the Lord met him. The Lord told him, I know. I
know where they are. I know the bondages they're in,
and I'm gonna send you. I'm gonna send you to God. And you're gonna
go with my message, and this is what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna
bring them out. I'm gonna bring them out through
an instrument of a man. So here's the third thing I know. God's people are taught of their
inability to free themselves. And they're taught of God's power
to do that which he wills. In the same chapter, Exodus 3,
look at verses 19 through 22. Here's what the Lord told Moses. He said, I am sure that the king
of Egypt will not let you go. When it says, no, not by a mighty
hand in the margin, it says, but by strong hand. He's not
gonna let them go except by a strong hand, and the Lord is the strong
hand. And I will stretch out my hand
and smite Egypt with all my wonders, which I will do in the midst
thereof. And after that, he will let you go. And I will give this
people favor in the sight of the Egyptians. And it shall come
to pass that when you go, you shall not go empty, but every
woman shall borrow of her neighbor and her that sojourneth in her
house, jewels of silver, jewels of gold, and raiment. You shall
put them upon your sons, upon your daughters, and you shall
spoil the Egyptians." I love the just emphaticness of the
Word of God. This is what's going to happen.
What, if it's left up to me or left up to you? Well, if it's
left up to us, it ain't going to happen. But if God says it's
going to happen, it's going to happen. But the Lord, when he's
pleased to show them, this is what Moses said when we first
read it, stand still and you see the salvation of your God.
This is where it all came from. This is where it started. The
Lord said, this is what I'm going to do. And you're going to, you're
going to behold it. So here's, here's, here's God's
people. They got his promise of their,
their salvation. That, that they're, they're going
to be kept from the penalty, the damnation of their sins.
We're in a world, and we're struggling in this world, and they're gonna
struggle. We're gonna struggle all the
way with the presence of sin. Look at Exodus 5, verses one
to nine. And afterwards, Moses and Aaron
went in and told Pharaoh, thus saith the Lord God of Israel,
let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness.
And Pharaoh said, well, who's the Lord, that I should obey
his voice to let Israel go? I know not the Lord. Neither
will I let Israel go, and they said, the God of the Hebrews
hath met with us. Let us go, we pray thee, three
days' journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto the Lord our
God, lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.
And the king of Egypt said unto them, wherefore do ye, Moses
and Aaron, let the people from their works get you under your
burdens? What he's saying is, look, you
go do something else. Pharaoh said, behold, the people
of the land now are many. Make them rest from their burdens.
And Pharaoh commanded the same day that the taskmasters of the
people and their officers saying, you shall no more give the people
straw to make brick is heretofore. Let them go and gather straw
for themselves. And the tail of the bricks which
they did make heretofore, you shall lay upon them. You shall
not diminish ought thereof, for they shall be idle. Therefore
they cry, saying, let us go and sacrifice to our God. Let their
more work be laid upon them, that they may labor therein,
and let them not regard vain words. He said, no, you're telling
me that God said to let them go? I don't know God, I don't
know the God you're talking about. In fact, I'll tell you what,
we're not gonna give them any more straw, and we're not gonna
diminish the amount of bricks they gotta make either. You go
tell them to get their own. This is what's going on. God's
people suffer in this world, and they do it according to the
good pleasure of Almighty God. But they're going to suffer in
this world for the sake of Christ. They're going to be brought down.
They're going to be made to cast themselves upon the mercy of
God. So Moses, in obedience to the word of the Lord, he continued
to do as the Lord commanded him. And he approached this rebellious
Pharaoh time after time, telling him, God said, let my people
go. And because of Pharaoh's hardness, the Lord left him to himself. Left him to do that which he
wanted to do. Look at Exodus 7, verse 13. Exodus
7, 13. And he, Who's he talking about? The Lord.
He, the Lord, hardened Pharaoh's heart that he hearkened not unto
them as the Lord had said. That word hardened, it means
to be stout, to grow stout, rigid. God left him to righteous judgment. Moses was, I mean, Pharaoh was
doing just exactly what Pharaoh wanted to do. Pharaoh was doing what Pharaoh
wanted to do. And brethren, if God leaves a
man or leaves a woman to do what they want to do, they're going
to perish. When it says, and he hardened
Pharaoh's heart, what did he do? He left him to himself. Lord, don't leave me to myself.
I know what I am. I know that I am dust. I know something about my own
nature. And Lord, if you leave me alone,
I'm gonna perish. Lord, don't leave me alone. The
Lord hardened his heart, just left him alone. Pharaoh did what
he wanted to do, and God let him do it. Well, the Lord sent
nine plagues, and in those nine plagues, Pharaoh continued doing
what he wanted to do. The word of the Lord was going
to stand, though. God's counsel was going to stand.
They were going to see the salvation of the Lord. Look at Exodus 11.
Exodus 11. verses one through seven. And
the Lord said unto Moses, after those nine plagues, yet will
I bring one more plague, one plague more upon Pharaoh and
upon Egypt. Afterwards, he will let you go
hence when he shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out,
hence, altogether. Speak now in the ears of the
people, let every man borrow of his neighbor, and every woman
of her neighbor, jewels of silver and jewels of gold. And the Lord
gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover,
the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the
sight of Pharaoh's servants, in the sight of the people. They'd
gone through some tough times. They'd gone through nine plagues,
and they'd been bad, but not Pharaoh. Not Pharaoh, not yet. Verse four, Moses said, Thus
saith the Lord, About midnight will I go out into the midst
of Egypt, and all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die.
From the firstborn of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne,
even unto the firstborn of the maidservants behind the mill,
all the firstborn of beasts, there shall be great cry, great
cry throughout all the land of Egypt. such as there was none
like it, nor shall be like it any more, but against any of
the children of Israel, not a dog move his tongue against man or
beast, that you may know how the Lord doth put a difference
between the Egyptians and Israel. Israel was taught that the Lord
of heaven shows mercy and compassion unto whomsoever he will. That's
what he told Moses. You know that, Exodus 33. Show
me your glory. Here's my glory. I'm going to
have mercy and I'm going to have compassion on whomsoever I will. But because their need of being
delivered was, what a beautiful picture, type of the Lord delivering
them through his shed blood broken body, shed blood. They're gonna
have to behold something. He gonna let them go. The Lord
gave Moses some instruction. Gonna have this one more plagues
coming. The Lord was gonna come through.
He said, but I'm gonna show mercy. The Lord put a difference between
Egyptians and Israel. In Exodus 12, The Lord gave some
instruction on how the Passover, the Lord's gonna institute a
Passover. This is what he said, Exodus
12, verse 21, Exodus 12, 21. Then Moses called for all the
elders of Israel and said unto them, draw out and take you a
lamb according to your families, kill the Passover, you shall
take a bunch of his Dip it in the blood that's in the basin.
Strike the lentil in the two side posts with the blood that's
in the basin. And none of you go out at the
door of his house until the morning. For the Lord, Jehovah, will pass
through to smite the Egyptians. And when he seeth the blood upon
the lentil and on the two side posts, the Lord will pass over
the door and will not suffer the destroyer to come into your
houses to smite you. And you shall observe this for
the ordinance to thee and to thy sons forever. Look at verse
28, 31. The children of Israel went away
and did as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.
And it came to pass, verse 29, that at midnight the Lord smote
all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn
of Pharaoh that sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive
that was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of the cattle.
And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he and all his servants and all
the Egyptians There was a great cry in Egypt and there was not
a house where there was not one dead. He called, that is Pharaoh,
called for Moses and Aaron that night and said, rise up, get
you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel
and go and serve the Lord as ye have said. The Lord told him, he said, they're
gonna let you go. They'll let you go. God let Pharaoh
do just exactly what Pharaoh wanted to do. Here's the Egyptians
that had him in bondage, had him in sin, but he said, you're
gonna be delivered. And that Passover was a beautiful
picture of the Lord Jesus Christ that bore the debt of all of
his people and died suffering on Calvary's tree, shedding his
blood, putting away the guilt, the debt, the debt that was owed
to the law of God because you're going to be delivered. Well,
Pharaoh got up that morning during the night. He told Moses, he
said, you and all of your people, get out of here. I want you gone. But as the children of Israel
journeyed, I want you to this latter part, I'm going to wrap
this up. As they were journeying out through the wilderness, And
here's going to be a picture of our journey in this world. There's some people in this world
that God has revealed their freedom and deliverance from the debt
of their sin. There's some people sitting in
this congregation, I'm convinced, that God Almighty's done something
for them. And they know that they're free from the debt of
it. The debt of it. We're still in
this world. And we suffer with the presence
of it, the presence of sin. There is therefore, Romans 8,
there's therefore no condemnation to them which be in Christ Jesus,
who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit. But as
long as we're in this world, sin is ever going to harass us. Okay? Exodus 14. Exodus 14. The children of Israel, They've been brought out, they've
been brought out by the mighty hand of God out of Egypt. They're
delivered, and here we are. We're delivered, delivered, as
long as we're in this world. The scripture says, Exodus 14,
verse 5, verse 5 to 12. It was told the king of Egypt
that the people fled. The heart of Pharaoh and his
servants was turned against the people. They said, why have we
done this? that we have let Israel go from
serving us. And he made ready his chariot,
took his people with him. He took 600 chosen chariots and
all the chariots of Egypt and captains over every one of them.
And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, king of Egypt. He
pursued after the children of Israel and the children of Israel
went out with a high hand, but the Egyptians pursued after them.
All the horses and chariots of Egypt and his horsemen, his army,
and overtook them in camping by the sea. beside Pihahiroth
before Baalzephon. Now here's, here's, they're being
pursued. They're being pursued by the
Egyptians. They're out of Egypt. But here
comes Pharaoh. And this is us today. We're still
harassed today. And scripture declares, verse
10, Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes,
and behold, the Egyptians marched after them. They were sore afraid,
and the children of Israel cried out unto the Lord, and said unto
Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken
us away to die in the wilderness? Wherefore hast thou dealt thus
with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt? Is not this the word
that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we
may serve the Egyptians? Don't we struggle? Don't we struggle? It'd been better for us to serve
the Egyptians and that we should die in the wilderness. And Moses said of the people.
Fear you not. Stand still. And see the salvation
of the Lord. Which he will show to you today
for the Egyptians whom you have seen today you shall see them
again no more forever. Brethren, how often have we, by faith,
beheld the salvation of our God, but we're still made to suffer
because of that continued presence of sin. But we have this promise
Hebrews 13, 5. I will never leave thee. I will
never forsake thee. The Egyptians were closing in
and they're at a point, we looked at that years ago, remember that?
We're at that point, out on a point and there's Egyptians and there's
the Red Sea. It looked like there was no place
to escape. It looked like Judgment is going
to be spewed out upon us. We're not going to make it. Scripture sets forth that Moses,
when he told them, he said, you stand still, stand still, and
you're going to see the salvation of the Lord. And the scripture
declares that when they They were hemmed in. They cried unto
Moses. Moses told them in Exodus 14,
verse 19, the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel,
removed and went behind them, and the pillar of a cloud went
from before their faces and stood behind them, and it came to pass.
Came to pass, and it came, I'm sorry, and it came between the
camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel, and it was a
cloud and a darkness to them, but it gave light by night to
these so that that the one came not near the other all night,
and Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the Lord caused
the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and
made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided, and the
children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon dry
ground, and the waters were a wall unto them on the right hand and
on the left hand, and the Egyptians pursued, went in after them to
the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh's horses and chariots,
horsemen who came past it in the morning, watched the Lord,
looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and
cloud, troubled the host of the Egyptians, took off their chariot
wheels. They drove them heavily so that
the Egyptians said, let us flee from the face of Israel. For
the Lord fighted for them against the Egyptians. And the Lord said
unto Moses, stretch out thine hand over the sea and the waters
may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, upon their
horsemen. And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea,
and the sea returned to his strength. When the morning appeared, the
Egyptians fled against it, and the Lord overthrew the Egyptians
in the midst of the sea, and the waters returned and covered
the chariots, the horsemen, all the host of Pharaoh that came
into the sea after them. There remained not so much as
one of them, but the children of Israel walked upon dry ground
in the midst of the sea, and the waters were a wall unto them
on their right hand, on their left. Thus the Lord saved Israel
that day. out of the hand of the Egyptians.
And Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the seashore. And Israel
saw that great work which the Lord did upon the Egyptians.
And the people feared the Lord and believed the Lord and his
servant Moses. Egyptians are coming. We're pursued
daily. And Moses said, you stand still
and you see the salvation of your God. Now here's where I'm
going to sum this up. Whenever the Lord Jesus Christ
went to the cross for his people, the Lord himself, he was bruised. It pleased God to bruise him. You say, I thought the Romans
did it. It pleased God to bruise him. Here he was bearing all
the sins of his people. all of the sins of all of God's
elect, past, present, future, all of them. And he bore them
in his own body and God bruised him. And that broken body was
pictured when that Red Sea was opened up. That's a beautiful
picture of the broken body of the Lord Jesus Christ. And that
was their only hope of escape. from that which pursued them.
And they walked across, not struggling, they walked across on dry ground.
And they got to the other side, and that which was pursuing them,
and harassing them, and wanting to destroy them, was destroyed
by the Lord Himself. The Lord Himself put away the
sins of His people. That's what was after them. Their
own sin. That sin that they justly deserved. We all did. But God covered it
in the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ at Calvary. And now those
sins are cast as far as the east is from the west. The Lord told
Moses, he said, you're going to see this, all the Egyptians
that are after you right now, you're going to see them no more. God doesn't see them. God Almighty
God Almighty does not charge His people with any iniquity. Blessed is the man to whom the
Lord will not impute sin. Are we guilty? Yes. Christ bore
it and put it away. In that next chapter, I started
going into that, but I've preached long enough. They sang a song
of victory and praised the Lord and thanked Him for His mercy
and grace. Almighty God has purposed the
salvation of His people before the foundation of the world.
He's told His people through preachers about it. And the Lord
has put away their debt in the precious blood of the Lamb. All
of the sins that we know we have committed for God's elect, He
bore them. And they're gone. They're gone.
No more debt. Is the presence still there?
Yeah. Is it going to be there forever? No. One day, this mortal
is going to put on immortality. This corruptible is going to
put on incorruption. In that day, finally in that
day, we will then see the salvation of the Lord. I pray God bless
it to our hearts.
