Isaiah 45 Verse 20 Just about every week I think,
well we'll finish out the chapter this week and then we don't.
Listen to how much is in these couple of verses though. Verse
20. Assemble yourselves and come. Draw near together, ye that are
escaped of the nations. They have no knowledge that set
up the wood of their graven image and pray unto a God that cannot
save. Tell ye, and bring them near. Let them take counsel together.
Who hath declared this from ancient time, and who hath told it from
that time? Have not I the Lord, and there
is no God else beside me, a just God and a Savior? There is none
beside me. Let's pray together. Thank you, Lord, for your powerful word, your eternal,
perfect, holy word. Quick and sharp and powerful,
sharper than any two-edged sword. able to divide us under even
the very soul and spirit of a man. I pray, Lord, that you would
pierce our hearts tonight with the amazing, wonderful, beautiful,
powerful truth of our Savior, who he is and what he did for
us. Your word go forth in simplicity
and clarity and power by your Holy Spirit. In the name of our
blessed Savior we ask. Amen. Assemble yourselves and come. God calls upon his people. Who's
he calling to? You that are escaped. That remnant. out of every nation, tribe, kindred,
and tongue. You that have escaped of the
nations. God calls upon his people to
gather, assemble yourselves, and come. This has always been
God's way. It's always been his command
to his church, assemble yourselves. We've seen this before in the
word of God. in Exodus chapter 12 from the very start before
God ever delivered his people from Egypt. He told them, when
I do, when I deliver you, here's what's going to happen. Exodus
12, 16, in the first day there should be a holy convocation.
That word is assembly, a calling together, a sacred assembly. Come together and congregate. The day I deliver you, and on
the seventh day, listen to it, No manner of work shall be done
in the first day in holy convocation, and in the seventh day there
shall be in holy convocation to you. No manner of work shall
be done in them, save that which every man must eat. That only
may be done of you. In other words, set everything
else aside and come and congregate before me in my presence. The
word convocation there is also translated reading in another
place. Because that's what they did.
They congregated and they heard the Word of God. Somebody read
the Word of God. They heard from God. In Hebrews 10.24, thousands upon thousands of years
after Exodus was written, God inspired the Apostle Paul, I
believe, to write in Hebrews 10.24, let us consider one another
to provoke unto love and to good works. Consider one another in this context the love that
we have for one another. Let's do things that are, provoke
unto love, let's do things that are consistent with the fact
that we love one another. And good works, not forsaking
the assembling of ourselves together. Old Testament knew from the beginning
to this day it's God's way to say to his people come assemble
yourselves and come as the manner of some is but
exhorting one another so much the more as you see the day approaching
so much the more that brings it to right now wouldn't you
say the day is even closer now than it was when he wrote that
Assemble yourself so much the more. Provoke one another to
love so much the more. Exhort one another so much the
more. Now why does God have his people
assemble on a certain day at a designated time? Why has he
always done that? Why does he still do that today?
Very simply, it's in our text because he has something to say. He has something to say and everything
else is to be put aside. You have to live, you have to
eat. It's not about that. When the disciples were hungry,
they didn't have anything. They were walking with the Lord
and there was a cornfield. It was lawful for them to take
a little bit of the corn and eat it on the Sabbath day. But everything else has got to
be set aside. Because God is speaking. God
has something to say. And nothing else is important.
In verse 19 we see that in our text. I have not spoken in secret
in a dark place of the earth. I said not unto the seed of Jacob,
seek ye me in vain. I, the Lord, speak righteousness.
I declare things that are right. Assemble yourselves together.
You see the content. Because I'm saying what's right.
This world is not going to tell you that. You're not going to
get it anywhere else but from the Word of God. You've got to
find somebody that teaches the Word of God. Simply, clearly,
plainly, without compromise. The Word of God. God speaks and
He says, come, assemble. And we do, by His grace. And
what condescension, what grace it is, and we need to understand
this every time we assemble. that God would even speak to
sinners at all. Does God owe us that after the
fall? Does he owe us that considering
what we are by nature and what we did to him when we could? Would not God
have been right to reveal himself only in wrath and condemnation? But he speaks, and here's what
he speaks, gospel. It's always been good news, hadn't
it? It's righteous things, it's right
things. But it's not just right things
about condemnation, it's gospel. He speaks gospel. I know that
we call Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John the gospels. But look
at the context of our verses here this evening. Is not this
good news? Does this sound like gospel to
you? Tell ye, verse 21, and bring them near. Tell ye, let them
take counsel together. Who hath declared this from ancient
time? Who hath told it from that time? Have not I the Lord? And
there is no God else beside me, a just God and a Savior. I am
holy, but I save sinners too. And there is none beside me.
Look unto me, and be ye saved. all the ends of the earth. It
doesn't matter who you are, where you are. For I am God and there's
none else. That sounds like good news to
me. Look to me and be saved. I'm a just God and a Savior. There's no God like that. And why does God call an assembly
together Speak to sinners. We know why he calls it. He got
something to say to us. But why does he do that? He assembles
us speaks to us for what purpose verse 17 all Israel shall be
saved God's gonna save all of his people
whom he loved and chose from before the foundation of the
world and this is how he's gonna do it and If Israel's going to be saved,
they're going to have to hear from God. And God says, come
assemble yourselves, I've got something to say. And after that,
in the wisdom of God, the world, by wisdom, knew not God. It pleased
God by the foolishness of preaching to save. God's going to save all of his
people. He's going to speak right things. Come and hear them. For
that reason. Salvation. God's still saving
me. I won't be saved tonight. By
the same gospel that by his grace I heard many years ago. The world
by its wisdom knew not God. And that's what we see in the
last part of verse 20. They have no knowledge. You see
that? They have no knowledge. You're not going to know unless
he speaks. Unless you come. Was it Moses that said, come to the
house of God with us and we'll do you good. We'll do you good. Well, it's not really us. It's
the Lord doing you good. And he does that by speaking
to you. He saves sinners that way. He continues to save us that
way. He comforts us, gives us peace.
What do I mean by I want to get saved again, I want to be saved
again tonight? Well, I mean I want again to rest my soul in Christ.
I want to throw all of my heart and soul and body and everything,
everything that I am, I want to cast it upon Him. I want to
fall upon the rock and be broken again. This very night, So, the world by its wisdom knew
not God. We see that there. That's always
been true. They have no knowledge that set
up the wood of their graven image and pray unto a God that cannot
save. And that is the inevitable result if God does not speak. If God doesn't speak and reveal
and show us right things, We're going to do wrong things. We're
going to believe wrong things. What we know is going to be wrong.
Everything is going to be wrong. If God doesn't reveal himself,
then we're going to make our own God. And even if he does
reveal himself, most are still going to make their own God.
Because he doesn't reveal himself to them. Oh, this would be the inevitable
result if he had not sent his word. He sent his word. In the
beginning was the Word. Why is Christ called the Word?
He is the divine communication from God to sinners. This is
what God has to say to us, Christ. In the beginning was the Word
and the Word was with God and the Word was God. And a little
later in that context in John chapter 1 it says the Word was
made flesh and dwelt among us. That's God speaking right things,
gospel things, good news to sinners. I'm a Savior. The just God is
the Savior. The Word was also called Jehovah
Savior. If God had not spoken unto us,
ever, God who at sundry times and in diverse manners spake
in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these
last days spoken unto us by his Son. He's always spoken unto
us and revealed himself, revealed what we are before him, our nature,
and revealed how he saves sinners, how he has mercy on sinners by
the blood of his Son. If he had not done that, we would
still be religious. We'd still have gods. They would
just be gods of our own making. we'd be worshiping a God that
we came up with. That's what an idol represents.
You can make it out of wood, you can make it out of stone,
you can dance around a totem pole, or you can worship the
Jesus of free will religion. It's all the same thing. It's
a God you made up. Same thing. And as I said, even though he
has spoken to his people and revealed himself in the gospel
to his sheep, most people are still worshiping a God of their
own making. Even though they know, they don't savingly know,
they don't have faith. They don't have faith because
God hadn't given them faith. But it says when they knew God,
they refused to glorify Him as God. And they worship a God of their
own making. Because He has not revealed Himself to them, no
man knoweth the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever
the Son will reveal Him. It's so simple, isn't it? It's
so clear. Our gospel is not some complicated set of deep, dark
doctrines. It's just simple. You're not
going to know God unless he reveals himself. And this is the way
he does it. He says, come assemble yourselves
together. I've got something to say to you. And if you come
and assemble and God speaks, he may just speak to you. He
may speak directly to your heart and show you himself, yourself,
and how a wretch like you can have mercy with God through the
blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Very simple. When we come to
the table, it always strikes me. I hope my messages are that
simple. I hope my preaching is that simple. The precious body, the precious
person, God incarnate, the bread, the bread from heaven, the person
of Christ and the work of Christ. him crucified, his precious blood
shed on Calvary, the death he accomplished for his people in
obtaining eternal redemption for them by his precious blood
as our high priest before God. Isn't that simple? I want my
messages to be that simple. I believe this book is that simple. It is given unto you To know,
but not to them. That's how sinners know. And
don't forget now, though, that men are without excuse. You're
without excuse. Romans chapter 1. But in spite
of that, in spite of our refusal to glorify Him as God, even though
we know better in our head, we know better. We know He's God.
The eternal power and Godhead of God can be seen in that very
creation, in the things which are seen. But even though by
nature, as sinners before God, without His grace now, we're
going to refuse to give Him glory. But in spite of that, He's revealed
Himself to His people in power. God who commanded the light shined
in my heart. To give the light of what? The
knowledge. I know God because He commanded it. He said, let
there be light, and there was. He turned us that we might be
turned. He birthed us from above by His Holy Spirit that we might
see and enter the kingdom of God. He bestowed His grace upon
some, His people, His sheep, His elect, by giving them faith
in the Lord Jesus Christ as their righteousness and as their sin
offering. He's given them much more now than just the light
of creation. Men are without excuse because of the light of
the things which are made. But to those he reveals himself
to, in power, in commanding life in their heart, regeneration,
in birthing them for love and giving them faith and hope and
life, he reveals much more. than what He reveals in creation. We know a lot more about God
than just His eternal power and Godhead. Men ought to be acknowledging
God as sovereign without even hearing the gospel. His eternal
power and Godhead. But He's shown us His Son and
His Son crucified. He's shown us how He can be just
and justify a worm like us. He's shown us his love and grace
towards sinners like us in Christ. He speaks those things to us
when we assemble in his name. What a sad thing it is to pray
to a God that can't save you. There are those who pray to a
God that can't save, and then there are those who know the
true and living God. And to know Him is not a knowledge
of just factual things that you can learn intellectually. Faith is beyond that. It's supernatural. It's the gift of God. Our Lord
said in John 17.3, this is life eternal, that they might know
Thee, the only true God. and Jesus Christ whom thou hast
sent. It's knowing a person that they
might know thee, that they might know your son Jesus Christ whom
you sent. Many of our loved ones tonight
are praying to a God that can't save them. If you're depending on a God
who's depending on you, waiting on you or looking to you for
anything. You're praying to a God that
can't save you. The only God who can save you
is the Sovereign God, who does as He will, when He will, with
whom He will. His hand is not shortened that
He can't save. And the God of religion, He wants
to, but that's a short hand. too short. He can't save. The God who said, I will have mercy
on whom I will have mercy. That's where mercy comes from.
That's the only mercy there is. It's from the one who said, I'll
give it to who I want to give it to. You're not going to get
mercy anywhere else. He's the only God who can have
mercy on sinners. If you're praying to another
God other than that one, because you don't like that one, You're
praying to a God that can't save you. The God who can save, saves
who he wants to save. The only God who can save you
is the God-man. The one who became flesh and
dwelt among us, the Lord Jesus Christ, who redeemed all that
he came to redeem. He can save, he does save, he
has saved, and he will save. And nobody else can. He came
to redeem all that were given to him. He said, I don't intercede
for the world. I'm not high priest for this
world. I'm high priest for those that you've given me. And all for whom he shed his
precious blood are redeemed by his precious blood. His soul was either an offering
for your sin or it was not. And if it was, then you are spotless
before God. And unless God speaks to you,
to your heart, unless it is given unto you to know, unless he plows
the ground and makes good ground and plants that seed, the word
of God in your heart, and life springs forth, life from above,
you cannot know this God and you will make one up. and you
will worship it. That's what our text is saying.
They have no knowledge. That's why they're making gods
that are not the god of this book. Because they don't know
the true God. They have no knowledge. They
don't know anything. If you don't know God, you don't
really know anything. and God's got to speak. He's
going to call us together and He's going to reveal Himself
to somebody. And if not, you'll make one up.
And even if you call Him Jesus, you may as well be praying to
a chunk of wood or a chunk of rock as to pray to a Jesus who
depends upon the will of the sinner. Verse 21, Tell ye, God
has spoken Notice those first two words.
Tell ye. God has spoken. He said in verse 7 right there
in our content. I speak right thing. I haven't
spoken in vain. I haven't told you come to me
in vain. I speak righteousness. I speak right thing. Now he's
saying to you. Now you tell him sinners what
I said. He speaks through us. He speaks
through his people. Tell ye. He says to his people,
those who have escaped of the nations, tell ye, the Spirit
and the bride say come and let him that heareth say come. You
see that? Come assemble yourselves, I've
got something to say. The Spirit says that, the bride
says that, and if you've heard his right things, if you've heard
the gospel and you believe, then you say come. You proclaim the
message of the Lord. Come and hear, come and see,
come and believe. Tell ye, Matthew 28, 18, And
Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto
me in heaven and in earth. Now before he told them to go
and teach, he said that, and I'm so glad. Aren't you glad
as we go into this world and teach? As we establish this church
here, he does, and he lets us in on it. I'm glad he did. But before any of this happens,
he says, I have all authority in heaven and earth. You cannot
go too far. And speaking of my sovereignty,
my power, my ability, my successful work on Calvary, you can't go
too far. I have all authority in heaven and earth. sovereign,
invincible, savior of sinners. Now go ye therefore and teach
all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of
the Son and of the Holy Ghost, baptizing them to show that life
is by the death, the burial, and the resurrection of the Lord
Jesus Christ, confessing that. Teaching them to observe all
things whatsoever. I have commanded I Have spoken
righteousness. I have spoken right things tell
ye Tell what Lord what I said That's pretty simple, isn't it? And lo I'm with you always, you
know, that's my favorite part. Lo I am with you always Even
unto the end of the world Ye who have escaped, tell them
how. Tell them how a sinner escapes the wrath of God. Running to the, fleeing to the
city of refuge. Bring them together, he said,
bring them near. Let them take counsel together
now. Or let them, listen, we see this challenge by God in
several places in the book of Isaiah. He's saying, bring them
near and put them on the spot. Force them, cause them, let them
figure out, let them take counsel together and come up with their
best argument as to why they've rejected thus far the living
God. Why they hate God and His truth.
Make them explain themselves. And this doesn't happen, of course,
physically. But this is what happens when
people come and hear the Word of God. You put on the spot,
aren't you? You're going to have to, before God now, you're going
to have to You have to explain yourself or you're either going
to have to abandon everything you know or you're sitting there
as a challenge to the God who says everything you believe is
a lie. Come up with your best excuse
for denying the glory of God. Even though you know better,
you've refused to give glory. Explain yourself. Take counsel
together and let's hear it. Let them tell us why they're
worshiping a piece of wood or a figment of their imagination. And then he says this, who have
declared this from ancient time? Where did you get your information?
There's only one that has told anything true. Who have declared
this? How do they even know there is
any such thing as a God? Have you ever thought about that?
How do they even know to make a God? If God hadn't revealed
something, those who hate God, how are you going to hate him
unless he reveals himself? You don't even know who to hate. Without revelation from God,
how would a sinful man know anything? Even who to hate? How do you
even rob him of his glory? Which of their gods have ever
spoken anything? You see, once you abandon the
word of God, where are you going to turn? You see what he's saying?
I've declared this from the beginning. Everything that's known. We wouldn't know anything. We wouldn't
know where this earth came from, this universe. We wouldn't know
any of the answers to the questions that men ask. Who are we? Why are we here? What's the purpose
of man? What's the purpose of life? What's the end of all this?
What's the goal of all this? As we've seen before, Christ
is the answer to every one of those questions. What's the origin
of man? Without him was not anything
made that was made. I don't need to go through that again, do
I? Christ is the answer to every question worth asking. What's
the purpose of all this? Of Him and to Him and through
Him are all things. He created all things and for
His pleasure they are and were created. That's the purpose of
it. What's the point of it all? Christ. What's the end of it
all? Where are we all going to end
up? Every knee is going to bow before His throne and confess
that He's Lord. Well, you see that that's true.
Who hath declared this from ancient time? Who hath declared anything
that anybody knows? Where did you find it out from?
Which of their gods ever said anything? You reject this book,
where's the Bible that your idol wrote? Tell me what they've said, and
think about this carefully. Now let's bring this to this
day. If you're going to have a god, on what basis are you
going to have one? They use the Bible, don't they?
They use the Bible. And from the Bible they manufacture
a God who's not in the Bible. You see what God's saying? Who
hath declared this? Who hath revealed? You wouldn't
even know to worship a false God, if not for the true God. Who hath declared this from ancient
times? Whose word is it that they're using? Salvation in the
realm of their God, little g God, false God, is up to the free
will of man. You've abandoned the word. Who
hath declared from ancient time that salvation is of the Lord?
The one whose word you are using in your so-called free will churches
is the one who said from the beginning, I will have mercy
on whom I will, and whom I will I'll harden. And I'll do it before
you're ever born or done any good or evil. I'll declare my love for one
and my disdain and hatred for another. And Paul in expounding
that scripture said, so then it is not of him that willeth,
nor of him that runneth, but of God that showeth mercy. And
yet they create a free will God of man's imagination from the
revelation of the God who does as he pleases when he pleases
with whom he pleases. Who is it that gave man any light
on anything? That's what God's asking here.
The very concept of salvation. Think about this. The concept
of salvation came from the God who saves and damns who he pleases. So what are you doing talking
about salvation and attributing it to man's free will? Hold on
a second. Somebody invented salvation and
it wasn't you. So you can't just define it.
You're going to have to go to the one that came up with it
and find out what it is. There is only such a thing as
salvation because the sovereign God has purposed it and accomplished
it in the person of his son and revealed it. You see that? I think I can illustrate that
because I've thought about this in a couple of different ways.
Here's one. People have relatively recently in history changed or
said they have changed the definition of marriage. You've heard that. There's a new definition of marriage.
That's the headlines these days. A new definition of marriage.
But wait a minute. You didn't invent marriage. Hold
on a second. If you didn't invent marriage,
then you can't change it. God invented marriage. God ordained
it. He said it's one man and one
woman. And if you don't like what he came up with, come up
with something else. But you can't change what he
said about that. You don't get to change the definition
of it. Go ahead and invent something
else and face the consequences. But marriage, according to the
one who instituted it, is the union of a man and a woman to
picture and glorify Christ and his love for his church, his
eternal bride. And if you don't like that, if
you can't submit to that, then go ahead and live like an animal
in your lust and wicked imagination, like the animal that you are.
But you don't get to change what God made, what God ordained. Just come up with something else. It's the same with salvation.
You don't get to change how that happens. You didn't come up with
it. You didn't ordain it. You're not the author of it.
God has revealed from ancient time why sinners need salvation
and who it is that saves them and how he does that. If you
can't submit to that, then make up whatever you want and face
the consequences, but you don't get to change what God ordained. In Romans 1 23, it says that
that's exactly what they did. They changed the glory of God. the uncorruptible God into an
image made like to corruptible man. You don't get to do that. To rebel against God, to deny
the truth of God, to refuse him the glory that he deserves as
God, is to deliberately close your eyes against the only light
that there is. In rebellion and hatred of God,
you close your eyes and harden your neck against the only light
that there is. Only God reveals what's right,
what's righteous. And that he's a just God and
a Savior. And that leaves us in a bad place.
You close your eyes now against the only light there is. You're
in a bad place. And how has God revealed himself?
In what character? A just God and a Savior. God
has revealed that he is the Savior of sinners. And that he is a
Savior who saves in a way that is perfectly consistent with
his justice. You can talk about him being
a just God. And you can talk about him being a Savior. But
if you mention them both, in the same breath, then you've
got to reconcile the two, don't you? How can he be a just God
and the Savior? How can he do what's right and
not put me in hell if I'm a wretched, vile sinner that richly deserves
hell? That's the question of the ages.
How can God be just and justify a sinner? God's going to be just. If He can't be just and save
you, then you're not going to be saved. That's just the way
it is. He's going to be just. And He's
going to show mercy to somebody. Because He's a Savior. He's going
to punish all sin. Every sin. My sin. Your sin. All sin. And yet, He's going to save sinners.
And he's going to make those sinners and declare them to be
just, not guilty, perfect, spotless, without blemish. All of his people
whom he loved and chose from eternity, they're all going to
be conformed to the image of his son. Job asked the question
in Job 25.4, we saw it this morning I believe, how then can man be
justified with God? Or how can he be clean? That's
what it means to ask the question, how can man be just with God?
How can he be free from sin? How can he be clean, not defiled
before God? That's born of a woman, that's
born of a sinner. And this whole book answers that
question. But Paul answered it very directly
in Romans chapter 3. Verses 19 through 26. We've got
to look at it again. Everything. This is the message
now. Romans 3.19. One of these days
God is going to show this to us and we're not ever going to
be the same again if he does. Romans 3.19. We're talking about
a just God and a Savior. Now we know that what things
soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law,
that every mouth may be stopped, not to show them what to do and
teach them how to live, but to shut them up and that all the
world may become guilty before God. Now we're already guilty.
What that means is to declare our guilt, to own it. I'm guilty. Therefore, by the
deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his
sight. For by the law is the knowledge
of sin. Far from justifying us, the law
shows us how unjustifiable we are in ourselves. But now the
righteousness of God without the law is manifested. Not righteousness
that has no regard to the law, but righteousness without you
keeping the law. Righteousness without us living
up to the law or fulfilling the law in ourselves by what we do.
Being witnessed by the law and the prophets, even the righteousness
of God which is by the faithfulness of Jesus Christ unto all and
upon all them that believe. For there is no difference. None
of us are going to be saved any other way. There's not going
to be any other difference. We talked about that this morning. The
Pharisee says, I'm distinct. I'm different. I'm not like him. Why not? I do this. I do that. God says, no, there's no difference. There's no difference. Everything
you do is sin. All have sinned and come short. Verse 23 of the
glory of God. being justified freely. There's
the difference. He said that publican went down
to his house, what? Justified. There's the difference. On what basis? Freely, by God's
grace, wait a minute, God's just going to be gracious and just
say, well, I forgive all your sins. He's not just going to
do that. He's going to do that by the redemption that is in
Christ Jesus. On the basis of shed blood. On
the basis of a suitable, acceptable, sufficient sacrifice for sin. God says you're not guilty. Because
that precious blood has washed you clean. Whom God has set forth to be
a sin offering. through faith in his blood to
declare his righteousness to show the righteousness he requires
and to show the righteousness that he is for his people that
he provides for the remission of sins that are passed through
the forbearance of God to declare I say at this time his righteousness
that we might see that he might be revealed to be just and the
justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. That's how a sinner's
clean. That's how he can be a just God
and a Savior, through the redemption, freely by his grace, on whom
he will, whoever he's pleased to save, he redeems them by the
precious blood of his Son. And they're without guilt, without
shame, without sin. before God. That's the simple
truth of Christ crucified. Because God is just, the Lord
Jesus Christ must die. And because God is just and Christ
has died for me, I must be saved. You must be born again. Why? Because the Savior redeemed you
before you were ever born the first time. That's why. You must. Because God is a Savior, because
He's just, Christ must die. And because He's a Savior, Christ
must die. Because He is both, His Son must
die in the place instead of those He saves. If He's a Savior, somebody's
got to be saved. And there's one way to be saved.
And notice what he said, there's nobody else. There's a God that can't save,
and then there's the God that's a savior. And what that boils
down to is, there ain't but one. There's one God. There's one
God. There's nobody beside me. You
see that? That's how he closed out our verse there. There's
just one. You are shut up to Christ. Whether
you like it or not, I kind of like it. By His grace, I like
being shut up to the Lord Jesus Christ. This is the stone which
was set at naught of you builders, which has become the head of
the corner, and neither is there salvation in any other. For there
is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must
be saved. None beside Him. I don't need
anybody else, how about you? Jesus Christ has made to me all
I need. All I need. Well, let's come
to the table again and observe once more this simple ordinance
of the Lord to remind us of the simplicity that's in Christ.
to be partaker by faith of his person and work, to take him
as righteousness and sin offering, life and death. He lived for
me, he died for me. That's my hope. He's my hope. Let's remember that this morning.
Brother Tommy, would you and Bob, would y'all?
