Hibbs, I'm a little bit envious. I was gone for five and a half
years one time, and nobody gave me a standing ovation when I
came back. Then I realized it was because
of Anna. It's great to have you back,
brother. You go real active in it. Pretty
dope. Good way to introduce our first
hymn, 236, Amazing Grace. Amazing grace, how sweet the
sound That saved a wretch like me I
once was lost, but now am found Was blind, but now I see Was grace that taught my heart
to fear And grace my fears relieved How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed. Through many dangers, toils,
and snares, I have already come. Grace hath brought me safe thus
far And grace will lead me home When we've been there ten thousand
years mean as the sun. We've no less days to sing God's
praise than when we first begun. Turn over to 459 with me if you
would please. In loving kindness Jesus came
My soul in mercy to reclaim And from the depths of sin and shame
Through grace He lived in me From sinking sand, He lifted
me. With tender hand, He lifted me. From shades of night, to plains
of light, O praise His name, He lifted me. He called me long before I heard
Before my sinful heart was stirred But when I took Him at His word
Forgiven, He lifted me From sinking sand, He lifted me With tender
hand He lifted me From shades of night to plains of life O
praise His name, He lifted me His brow was pierced with many
a thorn His hands by cruel bow nails were torn When from my
guilt and grief forlorn In love He lifted me From sinking sand
He lifted me With tender hand He lifted me From shades of night
to planes of light O praise His name, He lifted me Now on a higher
plane I dwell And with my soul I know tis well Yet how or why
I cannot tell He should have lifted me From sinking sand, He lifted
me With tender hand, He lifted me From shades of night to plains
of light Oh, praise His name, He lifted me Aren't you glad he did? I would ask you to continue to
remember Paul and we're thankful that the Lord has been gracious
to him and. Restoring back to health. Please
continue to remember my friend Scott Cross, who? Has had some
serious health issues. Please continue to remember if
you Rhonda Parker and Chase Parker. And from Spring Lake, North Carolina,
attend the church there where John Chapman is pastor. And remember
Shelly in your prayers. I think maybe she passed a kidney
stone, which is Pretty painful. And deep hearts. Remember deep hearts in your
prayers. I want to ask you, if you would,
to turn with me to Ezekiel chapter 16. I want to read a few verses
here before we pray. Ezekiel chapter 16. Beginning in verse 1. Ezekiel 16. Again the word of the Lord came
unto me, saying, Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations. And say, thus saith the Lord
God unto Jerusalem, thy birth and thy nativity is of the land
of Canaan. thy father an Amorite, and thy
mother a Hittite. And as for thy nativity in the
day thou wast born, thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou
washed in water to supple thee, thou wast not salted at all,
nor swaddled at all. None, I, pitied thee to do any
of these unto thee, to have compassion upon thee, but thou was cast
out into the open field to the loathing of thy person in the
day that thou was born. And when I passed by thee and
saw thee polluted in thine own blood, I said unto thee, when
thou wast in thy blood, live. Yea, I said unto thee, when thou
wast in thy blood, live. and I have caused thee to multiply
as the bud of the field, and thou hast increased and waxen
great, and thou art come into excellent ornaments. Thy breasts are fashioned and
thine hair is grown, whereas thou wast naked and bare. Now
when I passed by thee and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was
the time of love, and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered
thy nakedness, yea, I swear unto thee, and entered into a covenant
with thee, saith the Lord God, and thou becamest mine. Then washed I thee with water,
yea, I thoroughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed
thee with oil. And I clothed thee also with
broidered work, and shod thee with badger skin, and I girded
thee about with fine linen, and I covered thee with silk. I decked
thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands,
and a chain on thy neck, and I put a jewel on thy forehead,
and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine
head. Thus was thou decked with gold
and silver, and thy raiment was of fine linen and silk embroidered
work, and thou didst eat fine flour and honey and oil, and
thou wast exceedingly beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a
kingdom. And thy renown went forth among
the heathen for thy beauty, for it was perfect through my comeliness. which I had put upon thee, saith
the Lord God." It sure sounds to me like salvations of the
Lord. Verse 15, but thou didst trust
in thine own beauty and playest the part or playest the harlot
because of thy renown. and pourest out thy fornications
on everyone that pass by His, it was. Let's pray. Our Heavenly
Father, we acknowledge this morning that our salvation and redemption
is truly in Thee. Salvation is of the Lord. Lord, we know that if you don't
intervene You don't intervene in our lives and give us life
and eyes to see and ears to hear and hearts to believe. We never
will. Salvation, the salvation of the
righteous, those made righteous in the Lord Jesus Christ is of
Him, of the Lord. Lord, we thank you for all your
mercies in the Lord Jesus Christ. We ask that today you might again
reveal Christ to us in a new, refreshed way that we might see
again that Christ in us is the hope of glory, our only hope
of life eternal, being face-to-face with Christ our Lord forever.
is in what He has done and finished for us. Thank you, Lord, for
your tender mercies toward us. Thank you, Lord, for doing for
us what we cannot do for ourselves. It's in our Lord's name that
we pray and ask these things. Amen. Okay, turn with me to 389
in the hymn book. I'd like to ask you to stand
as we sing. 389 I am resolved no longer to
linger Charmed by the world's delight Things that are higher, things
that are nobler, these have allured my sight. I will hasten to Him, hasten
so glad and free. will come to thee. I am resolved to go to the Savior,
leaving my sin and strife. He is the true one. He is the just one. He hath the words of life. I will hasten to Him, hasten
so glad and free. Jesus, greatest, highest, I will
come to Thee. I am resolved to follow the Savior,
faithful and true each day. Heed what He sayeth, do what
He willeth, He is the living way. I will hasten to Him, hasten
so glad in Him, I will come to thee. Verse five. I am resolved and
who will go with me? Come, friends, without delay. Taught by the Bible, led by the
Spirit, we'll walk the heavenly way. I will hasten to Him, hasten
so glad and free. Jesus, greatest, highest, I will
come to Thee. Okay, you may be seated. Thank
you, Judy. Turn with me this morning to
the gospel of John chapter 14, please. John chapter 14. Our text will be verse 18. From our scripture reading in
Ezekiel chapter 16, just a few moments ago, we read where the
word of the Lord came unto the prophet Ezekiel and showed him
something of mankind's orphanage, his state and his condition of
being an orphan. What a picture Ezekiel chapter
16 is of both our condition and our redemption. The state and
condition that we were in spiritually after the fall of Adam. and who
and how we're redeemed and saved. Thrown into an open field to
die. Our navel wasn't even cut. Our
mother was out to do away with us quickly. The umbilical cord
of separation was cut at her end. We were unwashed and unswaddled,
unwrapped. dirty, unclean, and filthy, naked,
unwrapped, and uncovered, with only our own polluted blood upon
us. No eye pitied us, Ezekiel says. No man had compassion on us,
but the Lord passed by us. But the Lord looked upon us. And when He did, it was a time
of love. The Lord spread His perfect righteousness
upon us. The Lord covered our nakedness. He entered into a covenant with
us. God did. We didn't initiate it, He did.
We became His. He washed us with water. He washed
away our blood, representing our guilt and our sin. He washed
away it all, sin and guilt. With His own precious blood,
He washed it away and He anointed us with oil. He clothed us with
a broadered work, expensive and colorful and masterfully made. He covered us with skins, representing
the death of the sacrifice. He covered us with silk, representing
the anointing of the Holy Spirit. He decked us with ornaments.
He put bracelets on our hands. He put chains around our necks. He put jewels in our foreheads. He put earrings in our ears,
making us forever his bond slaves. He decked us with gold and silver,
raiment of fine linen and silk, and we ate the best and we eat
the best of His flour and honey and oil. We prospered into a
kingdom. We were made perfect through
the comeliness, that being the perfection of Christ our Lord
as He, that He put on us when He took our sin upon Himself. God took our sin and gave us
His perfect righteousness. There's never been a greater
trade or transaction than that. And what did we do? Well, God
said we trusted in our own beauty. We played the harlot. We poured
out fornication on everyone that passed by. Not just content to
corrupt ourselves, but our fallen desire is to corrupt everyone
around us. And it's here that we see what
God did for His chosen people in love and mercy and grace and
what we are by nature in and of ourselves. After the death
of our first parents, every boy, girl, man, woman, born of woman,
was by definition an orphan. What is an orphan? Well, the
definition of an orphan is a child whose parents are dead. A young
child who is fatherless, one who is parentless, one who is
comfortless. Matter of fact, that word comfortless
used only one time in the scriptures and that in our text in John
chapter 14 means to be an orphan. The Greek word for comfortless
is orphanous, comes from the word orphan. to be fatherless. And that's a pretty common subject
in the world today. You know, it's estimated that
153 million children worldwide are orphans. 153 million. The highest numbers are found
in Russia, Iran, Colombia, Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, and Peru. According to UNICEF, almost 5,700
children become orphans every single day. In America alone, there's estimated
to be 10 million children living in institutions and more than
60 million living on the streets, some with and some without parents. And you know, it's a sad thing
to see an orphan, isn't it? A small child who is parentless.
without anyone to take care of them, provide for them, defend
them? Did you know that President Herbert
Hoover was an orphan at nine years old? Eleanor Roosevelt
was an orphan and later adopted by her grandmother at age 15.
Marilyn Monroe was an orphan. Spent most of her life in foster
care, being abandoned by a mentally ill mother. At age seven, Babe
Ruth, the Bambino. He was sent to St. Mary's Industrial
School for boys. It was just simply a reformatory,
an orphanage, where he stayed until he was 19 years old and
began to play professional baseball. Bach. The great composer was
an orphan. Ray Charles was an orphan. The
stories of orphans being heroes is a very popular subject. No wonder that Marvel Comics
had Superman, Spider-Man, the Hulk, the Daredevil, and countless
other superheroes grow up as orphans. Everyone loves to hear
the story of an orphan being successful and doing well. I
read not long ago that over 22,000 babies are left in hospitals
each year. 65% of them newborns. I read a news
story several years ago about where a young baby was discovered
by a delivery man who was traveling to an orphanage and he heard
the baby crying inside one of his packages. It was found that
a young mother wrapped the baby up in plastic and sent it in
a not so special delivery fashion to an orphanage. It's horror
story after horror story of the abandoned orphan babies found
in dumpsters. That's just heartbreaking. But
I have good news to those of you who profess to know and trust
in the Lord Jesus Christ. Here in John chapter 14, verse
18, the child of God is assured and reassured by Christ himself
that they are not orphans. Verse 18, the Lord Jesus says,
I will not leave you comfortless I will come to you. Now, as I
mentioned a moment ago, that word comfortless in the Greek
is orphanous. It means fatherless. It means
parentless. That's what happened to mankind
because of Adam's fall. We lost our first parents and
we were parentless. We are comfortless. Our first
parents rebelled and they disobeyed God and they died as God said
they would. And the day you eat thereof of
this tree, my tree, you shall surely die. And they ate and
they died and you and I were born orphans. Or were we? According to the words of the
Lord Jesus here in our text, not all of us were. To some,
our Lord says, I will not leave you comfortless. I will not leave
you orphans. I will come to you. Hold your place here in John
chapter 14 and turn back to Lamentations chapter five with me. Lamentations
right after the book of Jeremiah. Lamentations chapter 5, I want
you to see three verses here, beginning in verse 1. Lamentations 5, verse 1. Oh Lord, what has come upon us,
consider and behold our reproach. Our inheritance is turned to
strangers, our houses to aliens. In verse three, Lamentations
five, we are orphans and fatherless and our mothers are as widows. He says here that what was once
ours is no longer. Our inheritance is turned or
given to strangers. Our house is given to aliens. We're orphans. We're fatherless.
Our mothers are widows. Friends, we lost everything in
Adam. And we lost fellowship with God. Mankind lost their
righteous standing with God Almighty. And we are now dead in trespasses
and sin. We've offended. The law of God. We've offended God's holy justice. We've offended God. Our sins
against God and God alone. Paul says that we're without
Christ. Aliens from the commonwealth
or the citizenship of Israel. Strangers, foreigners from the
covenants or promises. We have no hope by nature and
are without God in this world. Does that sound and seem helpless
to you? Well, our text declares that
the son in this fatherless, parentless state of orphanage will not be
left that way. That's good news if you see yourself
to be comfortless. The Lord Jesus, the sovereign
Savior, the omnipotent God, the Son says, I will not leave you
comfortless. I'm not gonna leave you as an
orphan. I'm not gonna leave you fatherless.
And I suppose the most common affliction for an orphan is just
the realization of being left alone, not having anyone. You know, it's common knowledge
that in worldly orphanages, when a boy or girl reaches a certain
age, their opportunities for not being adopted become very
high. But spiritually speaking, the
adoption of children by Jesus Christ unto himself is according
to the good pleasure of his will. And he who works all things after
the counsel of his own will says to those who were predestinated
for the heavenly adoption, he says, I will not leave you an
orphan. And I love these five words.
I will come to you. It's a faithful saying and worthy
of all acceptation that Christ Jesus came into the world to
what? Save sinners. So powerful and moving to the
heart are those words to me. I will come to you. We come to
Christ because He first came to us. Just as we love Him because
He first loved us. Herein is love, not that we love
God, but that He loved us, and did what? Sent. He sent His Son
to be, those words are italicized, so the verse actually reads,
He sent His Son, the propitiation. That's who Jesus Christ is. He
is the believer's propitiation, mercy seeker. That's what the
word means. He's the mercy seeker for our
sins. Jesus Christ, the propitiation
for our sin, the mercy seeker, the only sacrifice that God will
accept. He's our friend who sticketh
closer than a brother. He's the wonderful counselor,
the mighty God, the everlasting Father who comes to us. He will not leave us fatherless.
The Prince of Peace is with every single believer. Let's just make a couple, three
observations about orphans. Orphans, first, loses the kind
and loving hand that fed them, prepared their food, provided
their clothing. They lost their parents. But that's not so for the believer.
He cares for us in bringing us eternal things. Does your soul
hunger? Christ is the bread of heaven.
Do you thirst for righteousness? From Christ our rock flows the
waters that never cease." Christ is your righteous and acceptable
covering. David said, I'm poor and needy,
but that's not all that he said. He said, also, yet the Lord thinketh
upon me. That's not something a true orphan
can say. Paul said, I besought the Lord
three times to take away this thorn of the flesh from me. But
the Lord Jesus reminds the impatient sinner, my grace is sufficient
for you. If grace is in, by, and through
the Lord Jesus Christ, then it's eternally sufficient. It's forever
sufficient. Not a sparrow falls to the ground
without his wise and sovereign providence. Every lily is arrayed
and more glorious than Solomon and all his glory was. Secondly, an orphan is left without
instruction. There's left with no counsel,
no teaching, no chastening, but the believer is not an orphan.
Those who believe and trust in Christ are never left in such
a state. God sees to it that they grow
in the grace and in the knowledge of the Lord. Is that not your
experience? But of Him, God, are you in Christ
Jesus? Christ is made to us all that
we need and all that God requires. The first thing on the list of
the things that Christ has made to us is wisdom. Jesus Christ
is our wisdom. He's our counselor. He's our
advocate. He directs our path. He guides
every step. With the Holy Spirit given to
us, there's not a single truth given that we may not understand. And then thirdly, an orphan is
one who lacks a defender and a protector. They're fatherless.
You know, when a young child is picked on, often the first
words out of his mouth is, I'm gonna tell my daddy. And I've
had many a young man, friends of my son's over the years, who
have told me time and again, my daddy's stronger than you. Not long ago, I heard two boys
discussing whose daddy could beat the other one's daddy up. I'm sure their daddies were good
friends. But nobody's stronger than my daddy. Nobody can do
what my daddy can do. Every loving child believes their
daddy's the best. And there have been men and women
alike who were unkind and cruel and have wickedly taken things
from orphans. but that can never ever happen
to a child who has a caring father. So that can never happen to you,
child of God. He will not leave you comfortless.
He won't leave you to orphanage. We have an advocate with the
father who always pleads our cause. always looks out for us. Satan would snatch every single
promise of God from us, but we're never defenseless with Christ
as our advocate and our caretaker. He's not left us orphans. He
says, I'll come to you. I'll be your father, the everlasting
body. Then this encouraging verse of
Scripture, small as it is, gives us the remedy for our condition. And again, it's found in those
five beautiful words, I will come unto you. Now your mother
and father may leave you comfortless, but our Lord says, I will not.
I'll come to you. I love the I wills of the Lord
Jesus, so effectual, so certain. I will not leave you without
help, I won't leave you comfortless. I will come to you, not I might,
but I will. You can count on it, you can
write it down. Lord, I'm not worthy for you
to come under my roof. Just send an angel, a servant.
That would be great mercy in itself. But you are saying that
you're going to come under me. Yes, to you. Yes, to you, I won't leave you
comfortless. You, Peter, who will deny me. You, Thomas, who will doubt me. All of you who will forsake me. I will not leave you comfortless. Here we see the riches and the
sufficiency of our remedy. I will not leave you comfortless.
I'll come to you. We're always encouraging sinners
to come to Christ, but none can until God first comes to them.
The Lord didn't promise to send sanctifying grace. The Lord didn't
promise to send sustaining mercy. The Lord didn't promise to send
forgiveness, pardon, even though He did send all those things
when He sent His Son. But in this verse, our Lord promised
the only thing that'll prevent us from being orphans when He
says, I will come to you. What could be better than that? It's wonderful to receive a gift
from Christ's hand, but friends, it's much better to touch Christ's
hand Himself. It's a great mercy to hear a
promise from Christ's lips, but it's better to kiss those lips
of promise. Our Lord does not say, I'll do
this or that for you. Our blessed Lord says, I will
come to you. And with Him comes all the blessings. It pleased the Father that in
Christ should all fullness dwell. In Him, the Lord Jesus, dwelleth
all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. If you and I have Christ,
we've got it all. If I have Christ, I have everything. Someone owes another $50, and
the debtor gives the one who he owes the money a promissory
note. He says, I promise to pay you
$50. And when the debt's paid and discharged, what good is
that note? It's of no further value. If
money is borrowed again, another note is required to secure the
debt. How would you like to have a
note from the hand of one that always stands good? Our Lord
promises to pay forevermore. But this is not a debt that He
owed us, it's a debt that we owe Him. For He will not leave
us orphans. The first time a sinner comes
to Christ, Christ comes to him. The next minute, it's still,
I will come to you. It doesn't come once. Every minute of every day, day
in and day out, our Lord Jesus does not leave us comfortless. He comes and He comes over and
over and over again. He said, I come that you might
have life and have it more abundantly. Do you have an abundant life? If you have Christ, you do. Oh, I come and I keep coming. 50 years passed, 60, 70, and
then 80. His promise is fulfilled thousands
upon thousands of times. And just as fresh as it was when
it was first spoken, the Lord again says, I will come to you. Do you need help? Do you need
mercy? Do you need grace? Do you need
salvation? If you have this promise from
the one, only one who can save, I will come to you. than in your
last moment when your pulse beats faintly and your breath becomes
shallow. You can still say, even with
your fainting breath, Lord, you never left me comfortless. You
never left me, you never forsook me, you always came to me. And that promise is still valid.
I will not leave you comfortless right now. Are you comfortless at this hour?
Now, I don't mean to be hard here, but if you are, it's your
fault. Yes, sir. So is. The Lord does not leave you so.
Lord, you said that you would come to me. And you'll come to
me now. After all, we need him, don't
we? Do you want him? If you do, plead
the promise. Are you parentless? Without one
to feed and clothe you, Christ will not leave you that way.
For God so loved the world that whosoever believeth in Him shall
not perish, but have everlasting life. He'll provide all that
you need. Seeking first the kingdom of
God and His righteousness, and all these other things will be
added unto you. Are you an orphan that has no
defense, shelter, protection in this world? Christ will come
to you and be your advocate, your defender, your protector,
your refuge, your shelter, your safety. Christ is all in and
all, He's everything. And He says, I can do anything
and I can do everything. And He can, and He can. No child of God will be left
an orphan. For you've not received the spirit
of bondage again to fear, but you received the spirit of adoption,
whereby we cry, Abba, Father, Daddy." Boy, there's no more
endearing words to a man, and I'm sure it's the same with you
ladies. Mommy or mother, father, so endearing. But when the fullness of time
has come, God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under
the law to redeem them that were under the law, that we might
receive the adoption of sons. And because you are sons, God
has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying,
Abba, Father, wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a
son. and if a son, then an heir of
God through Jesus Christ. Charles Francis Adams, he was
son of President John Quincy Adams and grandson of President
John Adams, he kept a diary. And in one of his diary entries
on a specific day, he wrote, when fishing with my son today,
a day wasted. And it wasn't that he didn't
enjoy being with his son, but what he meant was the day was
a waste as far as being productive. Didn't get anything done. His son, Brooke Adams, also kept
a diary. And it was found later on in
his entry in his diary on that same day said, went fishing with
my father the most wonderful day of my life. How interesting is it that a
little boy's perspective can be so different from that of
his dad's? The father saw the day as unproductive,
but the son saw it as a great investment of time. And the only
way to really tell the difference between wasting time and investing
time is to know the true importance of what you're doing. To have
a father who loves you and cares for you Protects you and teaches
you and guides you. Why, it's not only a pleasure,
but it's a wonderful privilege for His sons and daughters. Just
ask an orphan. But understand this, child of
God, you're not an orphan. Yet the greatest privilege ever
given to me is the promise from Christ my Savior who said, I
will not leave you orphaned. I won't leave you fatherless.
I won't leave you comfortless. I'll come to you. The Lord Jesus
is still coming. And the Lord Jesus is coming
again. And he also said this, and if
I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive
you unto myself that where I am, there you may be also. Isn't
that wonderful news? If any man hear my voice, Christ
said. Have you heard his voice? He
said, any man hears my voice, I'll come into him. I'll sup
with him and he will sup with me. To him that overcometh will
I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame
and am set down with my father in his throne. He that hath an
ear, let him hear. Have you heard? God will not leave you comfortless,
fatherless, an orphan. He came in the world to save
sinners. Paul said, of whom I am chief. Jesus Christ came to seek
and to save that which was lost. Are you lost? Are you orphaned?
Are you fatherless? You don't have to be. Christ came in the world to save
sinners so that you might come to Him. And He says in the book
of Revelation, surely I come quickly. And you know what the
child of God says? Even so, come Lord Jesus. Why? Because He's everything
to us. Everything to us. May God be pleased to make it
so God's glory, our good, and for Christ's sake. Miss Judy,
if you would come, let's sing a closing hymn. 447, please. Brother Tommy, if you would dismiss
us at the end of this hymn. 447, let's stand together. I have found a friend in Jesus
He's everything to me He's the fairest of ten thousand to my
soul The lily of the valley, in Him alone I seek, All I need
to cleanse and make me fully whole. In sorrow He's my comfort,
in trouble He's my stay, He tells me every care on Him to roll. He's the lily of the valley,
the bright and morning star. He's the fairest of ten thousand
to my soul. He all my griefs has taken, and
all my sorrows more. In temptation He's my strong
and mighty tower. I have all for Him forsaken,
and all my idols torn. From my heart and now He keeps
me by His power. Though all the world forsake
me, and Satan tempt me sore, through Jesus I shall safely
reach the goal. He's the lily of the valley,
the bright and morning star. He's the fairest of ten thousand
to my soul. He will never, never leave me,
nor yet forsake me. While I live by faith, do His
blessed will. A wall of fire about me, I've
nothing now to fear. With His manna, He my hungry
soul shall fill. Then sweeping up to glory, I'll
see His blessed face. Rivers of delight shall ever
roll. He's the lily of the valley,
the bright and morning star. He's the fairest of ten thousand
to my soul. Reverend Father, we thank you
again. Thank you, Father, for the blessings of life, for the
opportunity of gathering once again, and we might hear more
about the great God which is our Savior. Father, we thank
you now for these people and pray that you would bless us,
that we might remember that we've been bought with a price, that
being to shed blood for the Lord Jesus Christ. Do we understand
it all? No, but God, we're so grateful
for what you've shown us. Continue to bless us, Lord, and
direct our paths each day. Forgive us of our sin, in Christ's
name, amen. Yeah, I know. She's in her. I know.
