Alright, brethren, let's turn
to Exodus chapter 3. Exodus chapter 3, and we read
here in verse 14, Moses asked God the name that He was to declare
when He came to the children of Israel. Verse 14, And God
said unto Moses, I am that I am. And he said, Thus shalt thou
say unto the children of Israel, I am hath sent me unto you. Now hold your place right here
and turn with me to John 17. John 17. As Christ was praying in verse
24 in John 17, He said, Father, I will that they also whom Thou
hast given Me be with Me where I am. And that's anywhere He is. When
He was finishing up His ministry, and when He went to the cross,
and He went to heaven, This was His prayer. I will that
they be with Me where I am. Why? That they may behold My
glory. That they may behold My glory
which Thou has given Me for Thou lovest Me before the foundation
of the world. That's what Christ said when
He said, I am that I am. I've existed since the foundation
of the world. the pre-existing, the always
existing self-sufficient God. Watch now, O righteous Father,
the world hath not known Thee, but I have known Thee, and these
have known that Thou hast sent me, Thou hast sent me, He said,
and I have declared unto them Thy name. That's what He was
declaring there when He said, I am that I am. I have declared
to them thy name. That's what he was doing when
he walked this earth, declaring the name of God, the righteous
Father. Read on. And he said, And I will
declare it, that the love wherewith thou
hast loved me may be in them, and I in them. This is how the
love of God is put in the heart of a child. Christ is formed
in that child through the declaration of this name. this glorious name. There is none other name under
heaven whereby we must be saved. Now read on. John 18, verse 1. When Jesus had spoken these words,
He went forth with His disciples over the Buruk-Kedron, where
was a garden, into which He entered and His disciples. And Judas
also, which betrayed Him, knew the place. For Jesus oftentimes
resorted thither with His disciples. This is after he had finished
praying in the Garden of Gethsemane and what have you. He sweat great
drops of blood. Verse 3, Judas then, having received
a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees,
cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons. They
are armed to the teeth and going to take on this Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus therefore, knowing all
things that should come upon him, Nothing is happening by
accident. He knows everything is taking
place because He foreordained it. Jesus, knowing that all things
should come upon Him, went forth and said unto them, Whom seek
ye? They answered Him, Jesus of Nazareth. And Jesus saith
unto them, I am. I am. He said to them what He
said to Moses. I am that I am. And Judas also,
which betrayed him, stood with them. And as soon then as he
said unto them, I am, they went backward and fell to the ground. And then asked he them again,
Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.
Again Jesus answered, I have told you that I am. He does two things by that name.
He conquers our enemies and He saves His people. He just saw
the enemies fall backwards. Now watch what He does. He says,
I answered you and I've told you I am. If therefore you seek
Me, let these go their way. Take Me and let them go. That's
the name we're here to declare, the substitute, the I Am. That
the saying might be fulfilled which He spake, of them which
thou gavest Me, I have lost none. Christ is the great I Am. Now
let's go back to our text. And let's keep reading. He is
the eternal, existing, self-sufficient God. We declare His name, and
when we declare His name, we declare His glory. Verse 15,
And God said moreover unto Moses. He's got something else to say
about His name. God said moreover unto Moses,
Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The Lord
God of your fathers. The God of Abraham, the God of
Isaac, and the God of Jacob hath sent me unto you. This is my
name forever, and this is my memorial unto all generations. Brother Ravi just read there
in that verse that he read, one of the verses he read in Isaiah
said, they are going to say, this is our God. This is the
Lord. Speaking about Christ, His people,
when He comes, they are going to say, this is our God. This
is the Lord, all capitals, L-O-R-D. And the Lord here says, Christ
the Lord, right here, says, you tell them, you tell Israel, the
Lord, all capitals, Jehovah, God, the I Am, the covenant God
of your fathers, The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of
Jacob has sent me unto you. This is my name forever. This
is my memorial unto all generations. We are going to observe the Lord's
table today. And the reason we are observing
that table is Christ gave us these. He gave us these physical
elements for a purpose. Brother Scott Richardson, Before
he died, he came up to Marvin one day and he pulled out his
pocket knife and he gave it to Marvin. And he said, Marvin,
I want you to have something to remember me by. Marvin said,
Scott, I won't ever forget you. And he said, take the knife.
And Marvin said, I don't ever pull out that knife, but I don't
remember, Scott. Why did he give us these physical
elements right here as a memorial? To remember what? to remember
the memorial, to remember His name. He said, this is My name
and this is My memorial to all generations, My people in every
generation. My name is My memorial. Now,
the Lord God of our fathers, that's what I've titled this
message. You notice I didn't say the Lord God of your fathers.
That's what He told Moses. I said the Lord God of our fathers. Why? I titled the message, The
Lord God of Our Fathers, because for every believer, for every
believer, Christ is the Lord God of our fathers. Of Abraham our father, of Isaac
our father, and of Jacob our father. It means He is our covenant
God. The God of the living, not the
God of the dead. The God of the living. He's the
covenant God who saves His people from our sins. Everybody He's
ever saved has worshipped the same Lord God, the Lord Jesus
Christ. Every one of us have. Everybody
that's been saved. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, right
on down to you and me. We've all worshipped and believed
on and trusted the same Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord God of
our fathers. Now the first thing I want you
to notice here in seeing His name and understanding this name
is, notice God is sending Moses into Egypt. Christ is. This is
Christ doing it. God, He's God. He's Christ. This
is Christ. In the burning bush, He's sending
Moses into Egypt to accomplish the exodus, the way out, the
exit, the journeying out, the exodus of the children of Israel. out of Egyptian slavery, the
exodus out of Egyptian slavery, out of bondage. And the thing
we have to remember about Christ's name is God our Father sent Christ
the Lord God. He sent Him forth, the fullness
of the Godhead bodily, He sent Him forth to accomplish the exodus
of all God's elect. That's what Christ came forth
to do. That's what this name He is. That's what this name
declares. That's the power of this name. That's why He said,
go forth and declare this name. It's the declaration that He
accomplished the exodus of His elect out of spiritual bondage. Go with me to Luke chapter 9.
Just a moment. Luke chapter 9. The Lord Jesus
spoke in Luke 9 about the Son of Man. Now get that, the Son
of Man coming in His glory. And then he said, and there's
some of you standing here with me right now that shall not taste
death until you see the Kingdom of God. And he was saying to
them, there's some of you standing here that are going to get a
glimpse. He asked them, who do men say
that I am? And they said, well, some say
that you're Elias and some say the Christ. And he said, who
do you say I am? They said, no, he said, who do
you say that I am? They said, you're the Christ.
He said, don't tell anybody this. I must, I must, I must be taken
by my enemies and I must go to the cross and I must lay down
my life and I must suffer these things. I must do it. And He
said, but there's some of you standing here, you're going to
not die until you see the Son of Man. Everybody thinks I'm
just a man. You're going to see the Son of
Man. He's the Son of God and the Son
of Man. And He said the Son of Man because
He's saying, You are going to see My glory as the God-man mediator. And He said, there is going to
be some standing here that won't taste death until you see the
Son of Man come in His glory. You are going to see the Kingdom
of God. Now look at Luke 9, 28. And it came to pass about eight
days after these sayings. He took Peter and John and James
and went up into a mountain to pray. And as He prayed, The fashion
of His countenance, His face, His appearance, His bodily appearance
was altered. And His raiment was white and
glistering. He took some of those that were
standing there with Him, His disciples, before they tasted
death and took them up to this mount and gave them a glimpse
of His glory. as the Son of Man, just like
He said He would. They saw a glimpse into the Kingdom of God when
they saw this sight right here. And He took them there and they
beheld a glimpse of this glory in this mount. That's where they
were. There's the glory shining forth in this mount. Now I don't
know what mount this is. Men want to spend all their time
debating over what mount this is. I don't know. But I'll tell
you the mount where Christ's glory shines forth. Mount Calvary. on the cross. That's where it
shines forth. That's not where they're at now.
And where they're at now, He's sitting there and you see Him
in all His glory. You see Him with this brilliance
and this white raiment shining forth and you see all of that.
If you want to see that, you want to see that, I'll tell you
where to look. Look to the cross and see Him
hanging there between two things. You want to see His glory? As
the Lord God of our fathers, look to the cross and see Him
hanging there between two thieves. See Him hanging there bearing
the sin of the spotless Lamb of God, bearing the sin of His
people and His own body on the tree. See Him hanging there.
See Him numbered with the transgressors. See Him bloody and beaten and
His body broken and His blood spilled out so that He could
fulfill the everlasting covenant of grace for His people and honor
God while He did it. You want to see His glory? despised place that people despise,
that place of the skull, that place of death that people look
to, and that blood they look to, and they say, that's a despised
thing. Don't preach about the blood.
That's where you see His glory. Satisfying God and saving His
people. What is that glory? Look here,
Luke 9.30. And behold, there talked with Him two men, which
were Moses and Elias. who appeared in glory. Now here you have the Law and
the Prophets. Here you have Moses who represents
the Law and here you have Elijah who represents the Prophets.
Here you have the Law and the Prophets Speaking to Christ. Bearing witness of Christ. Because
that's what God gave all the law and all the prophets to do. To bear witness of Christ. Look
with me. I'm sorry, don't look, look,
look, look. And this too, look this. Who appeared in glory.
Who appeared in glory. There's the law and the prophets
glorified. Honored. Christ said, don't think
I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I am not come to
destroy, but to fulfill, to completely fulfill the law and the prophets. Not simply to be the fulfillment
of it, but to fulfill it so fully that it's moved out of the way
now and there's just the I am, just me, the Lord God of your
fathers. The glory of Christ shines forth
on the cross because there He magnified and honored the law
of God. There He obeyed God and dotted
every I and crossed every T when He hung there on that cross at
Calvary. He's hanging there fulfilling
the positive aspect of the law, loving God and His brethren as
Himself, while He's fulfilling the negative aspect of the law
and justifying His people from our sins. And that is the love
of the law. You want to see the fulfillment
of the law? Look to Christ on the cross. Christ is the end
of the law for righteousness because He is the fulfillment
of it in every way. He is. And then He did the same thing
glorifying the prophets. He fulfilled every word they
ever spoke. And here they are now, standing
there, Moses and Elias, they're standing there and they're bearing
witness of Christ because that's what the Law and the Prophets
do. Look at Romans 3 and look at verse 21. Romans 3, 21. Now the righteousness of God
without the Law is manifested. There's the glory of God right
there. How God could be righteousness without you and me keeping His
law. Here's the righteousness of God
without the obedience of His people to the law. Not their
obedience. Not anything they've done by
their hand. Here it is. Look at the next
word. Being witnessed by the law and
the prophets. He said this is what the law
and the prophets bore witness to throughout that old covenant.
They were saying Christ is the righteousness of God for His
people without their touching that law. Even the righteousness
of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ. When you see faith of
Christ, if your Bible doesn't say faith of Christ right there,
throw it away and get one that does because that means by Christ's
obedience. That means by what He did on
Calvary's cross. Not your faith in Him. That means
His faith. We are justified by the faith
of Christ. That is why we believe in Christ. Paul said over in
Galatians. The faith of Jesus Christ is
manifest. That is where you are going to
see the glory of God. The righteousness of God without the law. Without
His people keeping the law. Now look back at Luke 9 with
me and look at verse 31. What did they speak about? Let me say this before I read
this next phrase. I love how God constantly gives
you the message He is going to have you preach. I have struggled
and wrestled and just, you know, I was going to preach out of
Exodus 3. And I began to think about this is Sunday when we
are going to observe the Lord's table and I really want to preach
something that shows the suffering of Christ on the cross. And this
verse came to my mind. Verse 31 came to my mind. I had worked on Exodus and then
verse 31 comes to my mind. So I go over there and start
trying to work on a message for verse 31. And look here now. And they spake of His decease
which He should accomplish at Jerusalem. The word decease means
Exodus. That's what it means. It means
Exodus. Deceased means exodus. They spoke
of the exodus which He should accomplish. That means fulfill
completely at Jerusalem, at the cross. That's what they were
talking about. Here is Moses. What did God use
Moses to do? How was he a type of Christ?
We saw him as a type of the law because he is a lawgiver. God
used him to give the law. How is he a type of Christ? In
our text, Christ is sending Moses forth to preach His name and
Moses is going to accomplish the exodus of the children of
Israel out of Egyptian bondage. And here you have Elias who did
not see death, remember? He didn't see death. He didn't
die. But God carried him up in a chariot of fire right into
glory. And he pictured Christ accomplishing the exodus of His
people out of this world into that next world of promise where
we will abide forever with Him. He took us out of the bondage
of sin when He went to that cross and obeyed God on that cross.
And when He was there broken and shedding His blood, The reason
His name is the Lord God of our fathers, the God of Abraham and
the God of Jacob and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob
is because He is the covenant God. And Christ Himself is the
covenant. He is the covenant. He is the
fulfillment of that covenant and the fulfiller of that covenant.
And He was on that cross. Remember what He said? This is
my body which is broken for you. This is my blood which is shed. which is the New Testament in
my blood, the New Covenant, the everlasting covenant of grace,
signed, sealed and delivered in my blood by my broken body,
my shed blood. That's what He was accomplishing
there on that cross. And when He cried out, it is
finished, brethren, He was saying He has delivered His children,
all those God the Father gave Him, He's delivered them out
of the bondage of sin, and out of the bondage of the curse of
the law, and out of the bondage of the slavery of our own fleshly
nature, and out of the bondage of death, and everything, every
enemy we had, just like the Israelites in Egypt and Exodus He carried
them out in the exodus. He said, it is finished. I have
just accomplished the exodus of all my people from under the
law. From under their sin, from under
their death, I have accomplished their exodus. And then when He
stood there after He was resurrected and He had spent some time with
His apostles and His disciples and He stood there and they watched
Him ascend and watched Him go up into glory. And remember two
men were there with Him too when He ascended. It wasn't Moses
in a life, but it reminds you of this mountain right here,
doesn't it? And there He ascended up there and they said, why are
you standing here gazing? He is coming back the same way
you see Him go. And Paul told us over in Ephesians
2, and when He quickened him, he said, He quickens you. And
He raised His people up with Him and He made us sit together
with Him in heavenly places so that in the ages to come He might
show us the exceeding riches of His glory and His grace to
us. That's what they spoke about, that exodus. Out of our bondage
and our death and out of this life into glory, the exodus Christ
would accomplish. Peter then, he wanted to build
a tabernacle for all three of them. He wanted to build a tabernacle
for all three of them. Scripture said he didn't know
what he was saying. And Luke 9.35 says this, ìThere came a
voice out of the clouds, sayingÖî Remember God said, ìLord, I pray
that they be with me where I am, that they might behold my glory.î
Well, hereís Peter and James and John where He is beholding
His glory. And He talked about all these
people, theyíre all going to be brought to behold this glory
too. But here they are beholding His glory. And the Lord told
him, He said, I've glorified you, I'll glorify you again.
And here he is doing it right in this mount. And there came
a voice out of the clouds saying, This is My beloved Son, hear
Him. This is My beloved Son, hear
Him. And when the voice was passed,
Jesus was found alone. There wasn't three of them standing
there now, there was just one of them. Just one of them. God
declared here, this is my beloved son. This is him in whom I am
well pleased. Hear ye him. Don't look to the
law. Don't look to the prophets. Hear
my son. And when he speaks this word
in your heart, when he speaks this word in your heart and he
makes you to hear this, you are going to look and I tell you
what you will behold. You'll stop beholding the law
and your works and your deeds and your sins and all those things
that you've been trying to put away and the righteousness you've
been trying to accomplish. You'll cease seeing that anymore.
You're not going to be looking at Moses anymore and you're not
going to be looking at the prophets anymore, wasting your time with
what shall be in the end and all this. Because you've found
the end. You'll behold Christ Jesus the Lord alone. And when
you behold Him alone, you'll hear God say, now hear Him. Not
the law, not the prophets, this one right here is the one you
are following from now on. He is the one that is going to
bring you out of this exodus. He is going to accomplish it
and bring you right to glory. Follow Him. Follow Him. Now, does anybody have a bulletin?
Anybody have a bulletin? I want you to read this article.
Let me read this article to you Brother Scott wrote in here.
Now there is only the Lord Jesus Christ alone. Listen to this.
We are not justified by the law. The Scripture distinctly teaches
us that we are not justified by the law, nor is the law a
rule of life. That which can only curse can
never justify, and that which can only kill can never be a
rule of life. Both the Jews who had received
the law and the Gentiles who had never had the law were now
to be saved through grace. Not only were they to be saved
by grace, but also they were to stand in grace, Romans 5.2. They were to grow in grace, 2
Peter 3.18. And all who seek to put believers
under the law are tearing down the very foundations of the Christian
faith. Listen to the strong words which
came from the Holy Spirit in Galatians 5.12. I would they
were even cut off which trouble you. That's what God was saying
when they looked up and there wasn't anybody there but Christ.
Not Moses, not the prophets. And God said, this is My beloved
Son. Hear Him. That's what God was
saying right there. Hear Him. Now, let's go back
real quick to our text. I want to show you one more thing. Just as God sent Christ, And
just as Christ was sending Moses, Christ is now sending His preacher
into the world. And Christ is accomplishing the
exodus of His people out of the nation by calling us, giving
us a new heart. And what's the weapon that He
gives us? How is His name going to be glorified? What's our weapon
in this? Christ said to Moses, Thus shalt
thou say. He didn't say, this shall you
do. He didn't say, why won't you fight or anything? He said,
I want you to go there and I want you to speak. That's what I want
you to do. That's our weapon. Our weapon is to speak the gospel
of the name of the God of our fathers, the Lord Jesus Christ,
the Great I Am. And notice this, who was He sent
to? Only the children of Israel. God said, moreover unto Moses,
thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, And you remember
who the children of Israel represent, who they typify? Israel is Jacob. Remember that? Jacob. His name
was changed to Israel. And Israel here represents God's
elect. Moses here, Christ wasn't sent
to accomplish the exodus of anybody but His elect. That's all He
came to accomplish the exodus of. And Moses is not sent to
anybody but the children of Israel. A picture of Christ sending His
preacher to the elect. And so when we preach, brethren...
Now there was some there, they heard it. Others heard Moses
come forth and speak. Some Egyptians probably heard
it. But He wasn't sent to them. He was sent to Israel. And as
this gospel goes forth, there's a whole lot of people that hear
it. Everybody that wants to come in and sit down can hear it.
But they sadly ignore it because they want to ignore it. They're
willing to ignore it. That's their will. I don't want
to have a part of that. But those that He sends this Gospel to,
His elect, He is going to have Christ's name spoken in your
heart and make you behold that glory and hear Him speak from
heaven saying, Hear my Son. This is my Son. Hear Him. He
is going to make you behold this glory. He told Him to declare
His name unto the children of Israel. That's what I'm getting.
This is our gospel, His name. Verse 15, God said, Moreover
unto Moses, thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel.
And He said, Now speak My name. He said, Speak My name. He said, Call them by My name,
and tell them, The God of your fathers have sent you. The God
of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God
of Jacob have sent you. Now that is what we are going
forth to declare. And all the sheep are not just there in Israel.
In that nation Israel, He got them scattered all over the place.
Remember Christ said, He said, Other sheep I have which are
not of this fold. He was standing there talking
to His elect among the Jews. Other sheep I have which are
not of this fold. He is talking about the Gentiles. His sheep
among the Gentiles. Them I also must bring. If this
name is going to be glorified, it has been glorified on the
cross. If this name is going to be glorified, it has got to
also be glorified in our heart. We have got to be given a new
heart. We have got to be justified and sanctified. We have got to
be made righteous and we have got to be made holy. And Christ
is both. He is our righteousness and our
sanctification. And He is going to send this
gospel and He is going to get this work done in the heart of
His people through the declaration of His name. That's why He said,
go forth and declare My name. And He is going to call His people
out of every kindred tongue and people and nation on this earth.
Christ called Abraham just like He does His people. He called
him out of idolatry. You and I were all called out
of idolatry. The idol was the one we looked at in the mirror
every day. We were all called out of idolatry, whether you
had a statue or not. And he called him out and he
said to him that in his seed, he said in your seed, he made
a covenant with him. He is the covenant God and that
is how he saves through covenant. This gospel is a covenant gospel.
He said in your seed, Abraham, shall all the nations of the
earth be blessed. Was he saying everybody in the
world can be saved? No. He was saying all is elect
out of every nation and kindred and tongue and tribe under heaven
is going to be saved. But get what he said. That's
another one of those verses that you want to make sure your Bible
reads right. He said Genesis 22, 18, In thy seed shall all
the nations of the earth be blessed. Who's that seed? Who's this covenant
going to be fulfilled in? Turn to Galatians 3. Galatians
3. What seed is it that all the
nations of the earth, all His elect scattered in all the nations
are going to be blessed in? Relation 3.16, Now to Abraham
and his seed were the promises made. He saith not into seeds
as of many, but as of one, into thy seed, which is Christ. He said, I'm calling in your
seed, in Christ the great I am, in the Lord God of your fathers. He's the one that's going to
bless all my people in all nations. Now, what about that law that
entered? What about that law? We saw Christ
came to fulfill that. And that is what Paul said in
verse 17. I say that the covenant that was confirmed before of
God in Christ, that is what was confirmed to Abraham when the
Gospel was preached to Abraham. The covenant was confirmed of
God in Christ. That is what you are going to
hear if you ever hear the Gospel. That is what I heard and you heard
when we first heard it. That is what the sinner is going
to hear when he ever hears it. That covenant that was confirmed
before of God in Christ, that everlasting covenant of grace,
the law, the covenant of works which were 430 years after He
made that covenant with Abraham, it cannot disannul that everlasting
covenant and make that promise of none effect. It couldn't do
it. 430 years before the law was
given, Abraham walked before God perfectly, God said, and
God was pleased with him. How did he do that without the
law? He was in Christ. He walked by faith in Christ.
Not by the law. He didn't even have the law.
He walked by faith in Christ. He was saved by Christ. Why? Verse 18, For if the inheritance
be of the law, it is no more of promise, it is no more of
grace. But God gave it to Abraham by promise. That's why. It can't
be by the law. Why was it then added? What was
the law added for? It was added because of transgressions.
Till the seed should come, till Christ should come to whom the
promise was made. and it was ordained by angels
in the hand of a mediator. And look here, now go down, I
want you to see something. Look here, verse 21. Is the law then against the promises
of God? God forbid. If there had been
a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness
should have been by the law. The law can't give life, but
the scriptures have concluded all under sin that the promise
God's grace, by the faithfulness of Jesus Christ, by His work,
by His doing and His dying, it might be given to them that believe
in Him. But before faith came, before
Christ came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith
which should afterwards be revealed. Wherefore, the law was our schoolmaster,
and the word here is, until Christ. Until Christ. that we might be
justified by faith. By faith. But after that faith
has come, we are no longer under the schoolmaster. And here is
what I want you to see. Why did he say, Moses go forth
and declare my name and declare that I am the God, the Lord God
of your fathers. I am the covenant God that saved
your fathers. Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. I am
the God, their covenant God. Why did he say that? And why
am I saying He is the Lord God of our fathers? Because you and
I are saved today. We are children of Abraham, of
Isaac, and of Jacob. We are children of Christ. We
are born of God. We are children of God. We have
been given faith to rest in Christ. And that is how you know one
is a child of God, a child of Abraham. Look here now, read
it. For you are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you who have been
baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew
nor Greek anymore. There is neither bond nor free. There is neither male nor female.
For you are all one in Christ Jesus. Now listen to this. And
if you be Christ, then are you Abraham's seed. You are his children. And you are heirs according to
God's promise. Do you see why He sent Him forth
to declare that name? He sent Him forth to declare
that name for the same reason I am here declaring that name.
Because brethren, the only way we are saved is to behold the
glory of God in Mount Calvary. We have got to be made to behold
His glory there hanging on that cross whereby He fulfilled the
Law and the Prophets and took that out of the way and nailed
it to His cross so that it does not have a thing to say to us
anymore. so that we can behold that it is through faith in Christ,
trusting His faithfulness alone that we are saved. And those
He brings to believe on Him and trust Him through this declaration
of His great glorious name and all that He accomplished, God
speaks to you and says, this is My Son, hear Him and you begin
to hear Him and you follow Him alone. And this is how we are
going to go through the rest of this life until that day He
is going to accomplish that exodus and take us into our heavenly
inheritance. And every one of us who are going
along here are saved the same way as our father Abraham was
saved, and our father Isaac was saved, and our father Jacob was
saved. We were saved in Christ Jesus, the Lord God of our fathers. Alright, we will observe the
Lord's table now. Kevin, would you come and pass
the elements out?
