Turn with me to Romans chapter
1. I just want to read one verse. Romans chapter 1 and verse 20.
It says, The invisible things of
Him, of God, from the creation of the world are clearly seen,
being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal
power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse. Now, if we would understand what
God will have us to preach, and to believe and to spread into
all the world, if we would understand what God would have us to preach
and to believe and spread forth, then we need to look into His
Word and see what is the message that God gave to His messengers. What did God give holy men of
old to write in His Scriptures? What did God give them to preach? That's how we determine what
we're to preach. What did Christ preach when He walked this earth?
That's how we know what we're to preach, what we're to believe,
the message we're to send forth into all the world. By seeing
what God gave, the message God gave, the message He gave to
His people. Now that is true concerning creation. What are we to preach concerning
creation? Well, the one way we know is
to look into Scripture and see what did God give? What was the
message God gave concerning creation? That's how we know what we should
preach concerning creation. That's exactly how we know. Now,
throughout His Word, God used His creation to declare His glory
in the salvation of His people in Christ His Son. That's the
purpose for which God used creation, was to declare His glory in the
salvation of His people through Christ His Son. The heavens declare
the glory of God. And the firmament showeth His
handiwork, the psalmist wrote. And though God uses His creation
as illustrations of Him, now listen carefully, we're never
once told to behold the earth. We're never once told that we
must know the shape of the earth, or that we must know how many
constellations God created, or any such thing. We're not told
that unless you know all the creations and can name them by
name, then you can't be saved. Because they declare God's glory.
Yes, they do. But God never said such a thing. Every message God gave concerning
creation was to declare His glory in the salvation of His people
through Christ His Son. Now if we look into Scripture
and we see that's the message God gave for us to declare concerning
creation, then we know that's what we're to preach concerning
creation. That's what we're to believe
concerning creation. God never points us to the things created. To say, you have to believe this
about something I created or you can't be saved. He never
does that. He uses creation to turn us from creation to Him
who is the Creator. Let me show you that in Isaiah
40. Isaiah 40. We are going to look at quite
a bit of Scripture today and I hope you can make it to the
Scriptures with me and look at these. If not, just jot them
down and you can look at them in your own time. This is quite
a large passage here, but let me read this whole thing to you.
He is talking about God our Savior, Christ Jesus who created all
things. He is talking about His greatness, His mighty hand and
His mighty work He's pointing us to Him alone. Watch this.
Verse 11, He shall feed His flock like a shepherd. He shall gather
the lambs with His arm and carry them in His bosom and shall gently
lead those that are with young. How do we know He's going to
have power to do that? There's a lot of things going on in this
world that might stop Him from doing that. How do we know He's
going to do that? We know by this word right here.
He is saying He is the sovereign God. Watch this. Who hath measured
the waters in the hollow of His hand, and meted out heaven with
a span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure,
and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?
Who hath directed the Spirit of the Lord, or being His counselor,
hath taught Him? With whom took He counsel, and
who instructed Him, and taught Him in the path of judgment,
and taught Him knowledge, and showed to Him the way of understanding?
Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted
as the small dust of the balance. Behold, He taketh up the isles
as a very little thing. And Lebanon is not sufficient
to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering.
All nations before Him are as nothing, and they are counted
to Him less than nothing, and vanity. To whom then will you
liken God? Or what likeness will you compare
unto Him? The workman melteth a graven
image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth
silver chains. He that is so impoverished that
he hath no oblation chooseth the tree that will not rot. He
seeketh unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image that
shall not be moved. Have you not known? Have you
not heard? Hath it not been told you from
the beginning? Have you not understood from
the foundations of the earth? What are we to understand? It
is He It is God. It is the Son of God, our Savior,
that sits upon the circle of the earth, or the circuit of
the earth. And the inhabitants thereof are
as grasshoppers, that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain,
and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in, that bringeth the
princes to nothing. He maketh the judges of the earth
as vanity. Yea, they shall not be planted.
Yea, they shall not be sown. Yea, their stalks shall not take
root in the earth. And He shall also blow upon them,
and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away
as stubble. To whom then will you liken me, or shall I be equal,
saith the Holy One? And what was the purpose of telling
us all His mighty works in creating creation? What was the purpose
of that? Look at the next word, verse 26. Lift up your eyes on
high, and behold, who hath created these things? That's the purpose. The purpose is not to make you
focus on the things created. The purpose is to make you lift
up your eyes to Him who created them. He calleth them all by
names, by the greatness of His might, for that He is strong
in power, not one faileth. Now that's the purpose. That's
what God gave throughout the Scriptures. All Scripture. Speaking of creation, speaks
of the glory of God in the salvation of His people through Christ
His Son. Now let's see that. This is the message of creation.
First of all, go with me to Colossians 1. First of all, God used the
Apostle Paul, put this word in his heart for Paul to declare
that Christ is the firstborn of every creature, the head of
his church, And He did so by showing it's Christ who created
all things in the first creation. Colossians 1.15, it says, Christ
is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature. How so? Because by Him were all
things created that are in heaven, that are in earth, visible and
invisible, whether they be thrones or dominions or principalities
or powers. All things were created by Him
and for Him. And He is before all things,
and by Him all things consist. And He is the head of the body,
the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead,
that in all things He might have the preeminence. That was the
message. So just as Christ created the
first creation, God moved Isaiah and Peter and John to declare
that Christ creates the new creation. That's His people. Created anew
in righteousness and holiness, the righteousness and holiness
of Christ. This is why He's the head of the church. This is why
He's the firstborn among many brethren. He creates His people
anew. He creates new Jerusalem. He
creates a new heaven and a new earth. Isaiah 65, 17 says, He
says, Behold, I create new heavens and a new earth, and the former
shall not be remembered nor come into mind. Revelation 21, 1, John was given
a vision. Was he given a vision to look
upon this creation? upon this earth or upon stars
or upon anything that God created in this first creation? Was He
given a vision to look upon those things? No. His eyes were lifted
above. Listen. And I saw a new heaven
and a new earth for the first heaven and the first earth were
passed away and there was no more sea. And I, John, saw the
holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven prepared
as a bride adorned for a husband. Isn't that what Christ came to
do? That's what He said He came to do. And He said, I saw it. And I heard a great voice out
of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men,
and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people,
and God Himself shall be with them and be their God. And He
said, Behold, I create all things new. John wasn't turned to creation. He was turned to see the Creator.
It's not our believing in this natural creation by which a man
is saved. It's believing on Christ who
is the Creator of His people. Who created us in righteousness
by His blood and by His obedience. That's the one we're to look
to. Now secondly, God moved the Hebrew writer. Let's go to Hebrews
chapter 1. God moved the Hebrew writer to
use creation to declare that He who created all things never
changes. He used that first creation and
this is the message He preached. He that created it never changes. And so, our salvation never changes. That was the message He used
creation to declare. He never changes. He is immutable.
And so our salvation is just like Him. Unchanging, unchangeable. Look here, Hebrews 1.8. But unto
the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever. A scepter of righteousness is
the scepter of thy kingdom. Thou hast loved righteousness
and hated iniquity. Therefore God, even thy God,
hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
Now listen, he's going to use creation now. See, he's exalting
Christ. And now He's going to use creation.
And thou, Lord, in the beginning has laid the foundation of the
earth, and the heavens are the works of thine hands. They shall
perish, but thou remainest. They shall wax old as doth a
garment, and as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall
be changed, but thou art the same, and thy years shall not
fail. Now hold your place right there. You see how He is exalting Christ
who fulfilled all the work of God. And God has raised Him and
anointed Him with the oil of gladness above His fellows and
put all things under His feet. And that work which Christ accomplished
shall never change, brethren. This salvation Christ has accomplished
for His people will not change. This earth, this creation, one
day He is going to fold it all up just like you fold up a shirt
and put it away. But His new heaven and His new
earth just like Him, is unchanging. That's great comfort to believers. This is where our eyes are to
be focused, on Christ the Creator. As the new heavens and the new
earth which I will make shall remain before me, saith the Lord,
so shall your seed in your name remain. Do you get that? That's
the message. That's the message God gave concerning
creation, to preach that Christ who made us is unchanging. Why then did He let this world
come under the curse? Why did He let this first creation
come under the curse? So that He could come forth into
this creation and be made like unto His brethren and go to the
cross and be made a curse for us and redeem us from the curse
and thus create a new heaven and a new earth wherein He's
made His people righteous and holy. That's why He did it. It
wasn't to make us bow down and worship this earth and worship
the constellations and worship things He created. It was to
make us worship Him. Thirdly, let's go to Psalm 8. Well, I tell you what, you hold
your place right there in Hebrews. Let me read Psalm 8 to you because
I'm fixing to show you in Hebrews what He teaches us about this
Psalm 8. He teaches us how small God's
people are and yet how gracious God is to send forth His Son.
He uses creation to teach us that. Listen, Psalm 83 says,
When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the
moon and the stars which thou hast ordained, what is man? that thou art mindful of Him,
and the Son of Man, that thou visitest Him. For thou hast made
Him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned Him with glory
and honor." Now God used the writer of Hebrews to tell us
what that meant. He used the writer of Hebrews
to show us why the psalmist was using creation, who he was using
creation to glorify. Watch Hebrews 2.8. Now, we see
not yet all things put under Him, but we see Jesus, who was
made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death,
crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God,
should take death for every man, that is, who God gave Him to
save. And it says, "...for it became
Him for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, and
bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their
salvation perfect through sufferings. For both He that sanctified and
they who are sanctified are all of one, for which cause He is
not ashamed to call them brethren." You see that? That's why He moved
the psalmist to look up and see the heavens and to see the work
of God's hand and say, what is man that they aren't mindful
of Him? You've made Him a little lower than the angels and crowned
Him with glory and honor. It was to show us Christ who
came lower than the angels, who was crowned with glory and honor
because He made Himself one with His people and through that made
His people one with Him. That was the purpose of it. He
was to point us to Christ, to show us Christ. That's always
the purpose that God uses creation to preach. Look now at this fourth
thing. I'm just going to give you several
scriptures here. This is Christ and He used creation
to describe Himself and to describe His people. Listen, in Malachi
4.2, He says, ìUnto you that fear My name shall the S-U-N,
capital S-U-N, the Son of Righteousness, arise with healing in His wings. And you shall go forth and grow
up as calves of the stall.î Is He telling us to worship the
Son that He created? Absolutely not. He is telling
us, just as that sun comes up every day and its rays shine
forth and gives life and light to all things created, so He
is He who arises, who has arisen from the grave and through His
holy word going forth like rays of the sun, He is the one who
gives life and faith and all the blessings of His holy work
unto His people. That's what He's declaring. And
He used creation to declare it so that we can have some idea
in our mind's eye of Christ. And so that when you see the
natural sun come up, you'll think of Christ. Do you see that? That's what creation is for.
Behold, the darkness shall cover the earth and gross darkness
the people, but the Lord shall arise upon thee and His glory
shall be seen upon thee. Remember Christ said, I'm the
light. And because He shines on His
people, He says, you're the light of this world. When He made those
two lights, He made the greater light to rule the day and He
made the lesser light to rule the night. The greater light
that rules the day is Christ. He said, I'm the light of the
world. As long as I'm in the world, I'm the light of the world.
When Christ ascended to the Father, the picture is it became night
time here. And the only light now, He said,
I created the sun to rule the day and He created the moon to
rule the night. And His people are the moon. We get our light from Christ
the sun who shines on us and it makes us the glory. He says,
the Lord shall arise upon thee and His glory shall be seen upon
thee. He shines His light upon us just
like the sun shines upon the moon. And we are the light of
this world. We are the ones who are ruling
this dark night right now. Through Christ who rules today. You get that? Through the tender
mercy of our God, whereby the day spring from on high hath
visited us, that's the Son, to give light to them that sit in
darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into
the way of peace. When you're walking in the dark,
Christ said, you're going to stumble and fall because you can't see
where you're going. But when Christ arises, just like the
Son, He gives light to our feet and guides us into the way of
peace. He said in Revelation 22, 16,
just in case we didn't understand who the day spring is, who the
sun is, He says, I, Jesus, have sent mine angel to testify unto
you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring
of David, the bright and morning star. That's who I am. The sun
shall be no more thy light by day, neither for brightness shall
the moon give light unto thee, but the Lord shall be unto thee
an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. You see that? Not once does he point us to
this earth or anything about this earth and say, now if you
don't believe this about my creation, you can't be saved. No. He says,
that moon and that sun that I created, that's not even going to be your
light. I'm going to be your life. See? Now, fifthly, let's go to
Psalm 33. He moved His messenger to use creation
to show Just as He created all things by His Word, so He creates
His new creation by His Word. And it's His counsel, it's His
Word that shall stand. Look here in Psalm 33, verse
6. By the Word of the Lord were the heavens made, and all the
hosts of them by the breath of His mouth. So what's the purpose
of declaring that? Verse 10. The Lord bringeth the
counsel of the heathen to nothing. He makes the devices of the people
of none effect. The counsel of the Lord standeth
forever, the thoughts of His heart to all generations. You see, He's saying it's His
Word that lasts. And so He moved John. What was
the first word John preached? In the beginning was the Word. And the Word was with God. And
the Word was God. The same was in the beginning
with God. All things were made by Him.
And without Him was not anything made that was made. And then
the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us. And we beheld His glory,
the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace
and truth. When we behold Christ, we behold
the Word of God. When we behold Christ on the
cross, we behold God's Word of grace and His Word of truth meeting
together in harmony. We see how God can be gracious
to His sinful people and at the same time pour out justice on
His sinful people so that we answer to the wages of sin which
is death. And that's by putting Christ
in our room instead and pouring out justice upon Him so that
now He is gracious to us and He is also just in doing so.
Do you see that? That is His Word going forth
which He promised He would accomplish. That is His eternal counsel.
and He's accomplishing that. That's why His Word stands forever.
He moved Isaiah to use creation. You're familiar with this one.
Not to worship creation, but to make us know something about
His Word. He said, "...as the rain comes
down and the snow from heaven, and returns not thither, but
waters the earth, and makes it bring forth in bud, that it may
give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall My Word
be that goeth forth out of My mouth. It shall not return unto
Me void, But it shall accomplish the thing that I please. It shall
prosper in the thing where to I send it. For you shall go out
with joy and you shall be led forth with peace. That's why
he spoke about the rain coming down and the snow coming down.
He wasn't to say, now, if you don't believe this about the
rain and the snow, you can't be saved. Because God created
it. Yes, God created it, but that wasn't what He was pointing
us to. He was pointing us to the fact that His Word by His
sovereign power never returns to Him void, but all His people
shall be saved. We shall go forth in peace. And so God moved Paul to use
creation to show it's God's command. It's His Word by which we're
given life. He used creation to declare that.
Paul said, God who commanded the light to shine out of darkness,
back there in that first creation, who said, let there be light,
He has shined in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge
of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have
this treasure in earthen vessels so that the excellency of that
power may be of God and not of us. That's why Paul said, I didn't
come to you with excellency of speech, preaching Christ and
Him crucified to you. I came to you determined to know
nothing but Jesus Christ and Him crucified. Because God doesn't
save with wisdom of words. He doesn't save by the craftiness
of a man being able to craft words just so-so and say it in
such a way that impresses you with his literary acumen. God
is saved by His power, by speaking into our hearts and making us
behold the light of His glory in the face of Christ Jesus.
God never even used one preacher, His words to save one soul. God,
through His preacher, enters in and He preaches the word in
your heart. And that's when you behold Christ. The same One who created the
constellations puts understanding in the heart. Go to Job 38. Job 38. I'll show you this. This
is where he rebuked Job and he used creation to do it. And then
he'd come down to this point, he declared. And we're talking
about him putting understanding in the heart. Are you there? Job 38, 31. He says, Canst thou bind the
sweet influence of Pleads, or loose the bands of Orion? That's
constellations. He says, Canst thou bring forth
Maselroth in his season, or canst thou guide Arcturus with his
sons? knowest thou the ordinances of
heaven? Canst thou set the dominion thereof
in the earth? Canst thou lift up thy voice
to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee? Canst
thou send lightnings, that they may go, and say unto thee, Here
we are? Why is he declaring all this? Who hath put wisdom in
the inward parts? Or who hath given understanding
to the heart? See, He used creation to say,
I'm the one who speaks into the heart effectually. I'm the one
who gives understanding and wisdom in the heart. That's why Christ
told Nicodemus, He said, the wind blows where it listeth.
It blows where it will. And you hear the sound, but you
can't tell whence it cometh or where it goes. And you can't
stop it. You can't do a thing about it. It's irresistible.
The wind is. Was He telling us that to make
us worship the wind? Was He telling us that? To say,
now if you don't believe this about the wind, you can't be
saved. No. He said, so is everyone that's
born of the Spirit of God. He's teaching His irresistible
grace. That's the Word God gave to be
preached. That's Christ Jesus, God Almighty
in human flesh, and that's how He preached creation. And Jeremiah, I want you to see
this one. Go to Jeremiah 33. He said, and
we're still talking about His covenant word, and He used creation
to show His covenant word shall come to pass. Christ shall reign
and His people who He's made priests shall reign with Him.
That's the picture now. Jeremiah 33, 19. The Word of
the Lord came unto Jeremiah saying, this is God's Word, this is how
He said, now you are going to take creation and use my creation
and you are going to preach a message from my creation and here is
what you are going to preach. Watch. Thus saith the Lord, if
you can break my covenant of the day and my covenant of the
night, that there should not be day and night in their season,
Then may also my covenant be broken with David, my servant,
that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne. Who's
that son that reigns upon his throne? Who's that son of David
that reigns upon his throne? It's David's Lord, Christ Jesus
the Lord. And watch this. And with the
Levites, the priests, my ministers. Who are the priests? Who are
God's ministers? He's made all His people kings
and priests under God. We're the priests that He's made.
He said as long as there's a covenant with day and night, if you can
break the covenant with day and night, then my covenant be broken. Which means I can't break the
covenant with day and night, can you? I can't break God's
covenant either. Christ shall reign and His people,
everyone, shall be made priests unto God. As the host of heaven
cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured, so
will I multiply the seed of David my servant and the Levites that
minister unto me. You see that? That's how you
use creation. Now, at last, He gave Peter a
word concerning his creation to teach us that God's longsuffering
Teach us something about God's long-suffering. He used creation
to do this. Teach us about His long-suffering, to teach us and
assure us of His salvation of all His people, and to teach
us, therefore, that we ought to walk in holiness all our days
on this earth. This is what He used creation.
He used Peter to preach creation and that's the message He preached
through it. God's long-suffering, God's salvation, and you and
I walking in holiness. 2 Peter 3, we'll see this. Knowing this first, that there shall come in the
last days scoffers walking after their own lusts, and saying,
Where is the promise of his coming? For since the fathers fell asleep,
all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation."
For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the
heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water
and in the water, whereby the world that then was being overflowed
with water perished. But the heavens and the earth
which are now, by the same word, are kept in store. reserved unto
fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men."
He said the same word that created the heavens and the earth, the
same word that pronounced the sentence in Noah's day and flooded
the world and destroyed all men except Noah and his family who
were in the ark. He said that same word is upholding
the heavens and the earth right now. Reserving this place unto
fire when ungodly men shall be cast out. Now that's pointing
us to the Word of God. to the Word of God. Now watch
this, verse 8. But beloved, be not ignorant
of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand
years, and a thousand years is one day. It means He's eternal.
The Lord's not slack concerning His promises. Some men count
slackness. But He's longsuffering to usward,
to usward, to His elect, not willing that any should perish,
but that all should come to repentance. And if God's not willing, it
ain't happening. If God's willing for His people
to come to repentance, they're all coming to repentance. If
God's not willing that any should perish, none are going to perish.
God always accomplishes His will. Look at verse 10. But the day
of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in the which the
heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements
shall melt with a fervent heat. The earth also and the works
that are therein shall be burned up. You see, God never points
us to this earth because There's nothing about this earth that's
going to last. It's all going to be burned up. Look, seeing
then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of
persons ought ye to be in all holy conduct and godliness? looking for and hasting unto
the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on
fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with
the fervent heat. Where are we going to be then? Nevertheless,
we, according to His covenant Word, His promise, look for a
new heavens and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness. That's
the message God gave Peter to preach from creation. that it's
God's Word who upholds it. Trust and rest in God's Word. God's upholding it because He's
longsuffering, not willing that any of His people shall perish.
So account that the longsuffering of God is salvation. It shall
terminate in the salvation of His people. And He teaches us
now, therefore, seeing all these things are going to be dissolved.
Don't worship this earth. Don't live after this world or
anything in it. Don't put any confidence in the
works of this earth. but look to God, look to Christ
who by His righteousness created a new heavens and a new earth
wherein only righteousness dwelleth. Everything that enters that new
creation and new heaven will be righteous by Christ our righteousness. That's the message He gave Peter
to preach from creation. The glory of God and the salvation
of His people. Now there are many more ways
that God used creation to glorify Him. There's a lot of different
things in Scripture. Remember, He took a piece of
corn. He made that piece of corn to
bring forth more corn in the way it does so that Christ could
come and pick up a grain of corn and say, except this corn fall
into the ground and die, it abides alone. But if it dies, it brings
forth much fruit. So I must go to that cross and
I must die. And when I die, I shall arise
and bring forth much fruit. That's why He created the corn,
to die and bring forth fruit that way, so He could show you
this is what I'm doing. So there's many different ways
that He used creation, but not once Did God give His messenger
a word to argue about the shape of the earth, or the number of
constellations, or declare if we do not believe something about
creation, that we would perish in our sins? Not one time. So that tells me and you, we
ought not preach that, we ought not believe that, and we ought
not promote or support anybody that preaches that. Because God
never gave that Word to be preached. Never. Not once in His Holy Word.
He used creation to glorify God and His Christ and salvation
by Him. He used it to declare Christ
is the creator of the new heavens and the new earth just like He
created the natural. He used creation to declare Christ
is immutable and so His new creation is established in His unchanging
righteousness and shall never change. He used creation to declare
Christ is the Son of Righteousness. He is the light who makes His
people children of light. He used it to declare that the
Word shall not fail, but shall save His people from our sins
just as the rain and the snow accomplish His purpose. So if
we would preach creation aright, that tells us then that we must
preach Christ alone from creation. Not turning men to the earth,
but turning them from this natural creation to Christ alone. Look at Colossians 3. Let's finish
up there. Many of my brethren, some of
you here have said this, and this is the ironic, I guess the
irony of this new lie that's come to pass, is that men would
use the creation to point men to the creation and tell you
that unless you believe this creation, you can't be saved.
Well, that's not what God sent His preacher to declare. Look
at Colossians 3.1. If ye then be risen with Christ,
seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right
hand of God. Set your affection on things
above, not on things of the earth. Don't be focused on this earth.
You know how many people have believed things about God's creation
that were just flat wrong and yet God saved them. It had nothing
to do with the new heart. It had nothing to do with the
truth He puts in the heart concerning His salvation. It didn't matter. It wouldn't matter if you believed
the earth was shaped like a donut. If God gives you a heart to believe
on Christ and you rest in Him for all your salvation, that's
all that matters. That's all that matters. He says, don't focus on this
earth because you're dead and your life is hid with Christ
in God. When Christ who is our life shall
appear, then shall you also appear with Him in glory. Amen. Alright, Brother Art. Alright, Brother Kevin.
