So first of all, thank you, Brother
Larry. Thank you. I really, that was a blessing.
Thank you very much. Amen. So for our, I'm thankful
for every one of you that are here tonight, each and every
one of you that are here tonight, I'm thankful. And we had some
people leave after the first and we had some new people come
in. And so I'm thankful that the Lord has brought his people
in to hear this word and We're gonna bring up Brother Darwin
again. And that's probably a tough position, four messages in one
evening, and I can appreciate it. But the blessing there is
that the last one we'll hear is the voice of our Lord that
you bring forth, that he's laid on your heart for your people.
And it's been a full feast of fat things in the Lord Jesus
Christ. And the reason, one of the reasons,
well, According to the flesh, at least in the flesh, the reason
why we're having this, why we have this conference here is
because Brother Darwin said to me, and I believe it was at your
house there, Brother Darwin said, you men, you need to have a conference.
You all need to have a conference. And so that, the Lord laid that
on my heart. And I'm thankful that we did. And when I mentioned to the people,
every one of them was all for it. They all were for it. I'm
thankful. So brother, if you'd come and
preach the word to us again. All of us old preachers like
to talk about Brother Mahan. He meant so much to us. We recall
those old meetings. I remember one year he had all
the missionaries there and it was a a really large church,
and the missionaries covered all the pews in the front, pastors
and missionaries, all the way across. I was 28 years old, preaching
in my first Bible conference. But I remember telling someone,
they said, what do you do when you go to these Bible conferences?
And I said, well, there's speakers there from all over the country.
Really? I said, yes, sir. And he said,
well, give me some idea how the services run. And I said, well,
this year we're having three speakers in the morning and two
in the evening. You mean you listen to five sermons? I said, well, Reagan, what are
we going to do in heaven? Do you think we're gonna quit
with five? Or four? My, so I don't ever get tired
of hearing him. We sang the song, This is My
Story. Now let's look at his story. Turn with me to Revelation chapter
five. It's not the book of revelations, though many things are revealed
in it. But rather, he calls it the revelation. And John begins his book with
these words, the revelation of Jesus Christ. which God gave to him, that is,
gave to his son, to show unto his servants things that must
shortly come to pass. And when God says shortly, it
can be 4,000 years. And surely in eternity, this
little speck of time is shortly, isn't it? Like a vapor, here
for a minute. And there's many visions given
to God's servants who were inspired to write God's word, but only
one revelation. Just one. John was given seven
visions in this book, but only one revelation. The revelation
of Jesus Christ. And my text today is Revelation
chapter five, verses one through nine. And in this heavenly vision,
John shows to us that everything God has for men is in Jesus Christ,
the Lamb of God. It's all in Him. Provision made in the Lamb, accomplished
by the Lamb, revealed in the Lamb, preserved in the Lamb,
and gathered to the Lamb in that great day. To be with Him where
the Lamb is. In chapter four, there was a
door opened in heaven. Oh, my soul, how precious this
is. I've been hearing about heaven
ever since I was old enough to stand up. We went to church. I don't know how many times a
week we went to church. We went to church. We'd even go over
to the old mission. They set me up on a feed sack,
and I'd listen to them preach to winos. We went to church every
night. But oh, how precious is this. Christ is the door of revelation. The Spirit of God took John and
he opened a door into heaven. I ain't talking about what you
see down here. I'm not talking about what you see up here. I'm
talking about peering into glory itself. Wouldn't you like to
look into glory itself? Christ, that no religion ever
lives to speculate, theorize, debate about the things of God.
They love to do it. Proud, the scripture says, they
are, knowing nothing. Man's proud. What's he proud
of? He don't know anything. He's
proud knowing nothing. He jokes about questions and
strifes of words. I love what That woman told Henry
May, and he was preaching about the high priest, and he was talking
about the uniform of the high priest, and the scripture uses
the word britches. Well, she met him back at the
door after service, and she said, I enjoyed your message, but she
said, I got a bone to pick with you. She was an English teacher. And he said, oh? He said, what's
that? And she said, well, you used the term britches. Well,
he said, what should I be? She said, trousers. Brother Mahan said, well, let
me ask you something. What did I say before I said
breeches? Well, she said, I don't recall.
OK, he said, what did I say after I said breeches? She said, I
don't remember. And he said, well, if I was you,
I'd go home and thank God for britches. If it wasn't for britches,
you wouldn't have got anything. Proud knowing nothing. Oh, the truth is, apart from
Christ, the will of God, the purpose of God, the way of God,
and the means of God are a mystery. Somebody told me, and I've heard
this many times in the ministry, Oh, you ain't gonna preach out
of that, are you? You gonna preach out of Revelations? That whole
book is a mystery. Well, I got news for you. The
whole of the Word of God is a mystery to a natural man. Paul said,
we preach the wisdom of God, who's that? That's Christ, in
a mystery. In a mystery. I'm preaching to
people who don't know what I'm talking about. And they never
will if God don't open their eyes. They never will. A door was opened, an open
door, a way to peer into heaven itself, a way to see and know
and to be taught the things of God. Not to speculate, but to
see it for myself. And as he looks, the very first
thing he sees is what? A throne. What is it that catches a man's
eyes when he's allowed to peer into heaven? A throne. Yeah. God rules. He rules. And he saw him that
sat on it. Now the throne is a symbol of
God's absolute sovereignty. Absolute sovereignty. And the
first experience of a true revelation of God is that God rules in absolute
sovereignty. The scripture said none can stay
his hand or say unto him what doest thou. He declares the end
from the beginning. From ancient times the things
that are not yet done saying my counsel will stand. And I'll
do all my pleasure. Man said to Paul Mayhem one time,
he said, you preach man as a puppet. And God's up there pulling his
strings. And Paul said, well, the alternative is God is the
puppet, and you're pulling his strings. Which one would you
rather? No. Huh? Oh, my soul. God is God. And in his omnipotence,
he rules over all things. We shut up to him. We shut up
to God. I don't wanna hear what you think. I'll tell you, I get so sick
of that. Preacher, I think, what's that got to do with anything?
We don't know anything about God. Everything I know about
God right here. And I can't even understand this
apart from Christ. Who do I think I am? Oh. We shut up to him. Now, I've only got three things.
You can preach on Revelation chapter five from now on, but
I just want to be brief. I know y'all are tired, but I've
got three things I want us to see in these verses. I want you
to see what's in the hand of this absolute God. He's holding
the book. And he alone, just one man, I'm
worthy to take that book. and to look into that book and
to show you what's in it. Just one. And then I want you
to see what constitutes his worthiness. So let's look at the book held
in the hand of God. What is the purpose of a book? Men write books, hundreds of
books. I've got books in my library, on my computer. I've got all
kinds of books. But what's the purpose of a book? It's to make
something known, isn't it? God doesn't need a book. This
is pictorial language. This is figurative language.
And I'm looking here, and God's going to tell me something. And
here's what he says. I look into heaven, and in this
figurative language, I look, and God's holding a book on the
throne, the sovereign God. I got a book. Why would he hold
a book in his hand? Because he's going to make the
contents of it known. sovereign will and counsel of
God from the very beginning. When you look into heaven, you
ain't looking a little speck in time. We want to think about
John being in the spirit on the Lord's day. When he looked into
heaven, he looking at eternity. Men and women in heaven see eternity. I told him one time that cornerstone
to the, to the, Christ is the cornerstone. What's that mean?
That means you can stand on that corner and you can look all the
way back into eternity. And you can look this way and
you can look all the way forward into eternity. That cornerstone,
Christ is the cornerstone. God's got something he's gonna
make known. It's to instruct, it's to make something known,
it's to record, it's to disclose evidence. That's the book. The significance of God having
in his hand a book is that he intends to reveal something. He's gonna tell us what is the
will of God. And he who sits on the eternal
throne sits there with a book, and it's a complete book. Nothing
left out, no blank pages. It's written within and on the
backside. It's complete. No blanks. Religion's always
got God filling in the blanks later on. Well, God looked down
through the telescope of time. God don't need a telescope. Ain't
nothing gonna happen that he didn't declare was gonna happen. and purpose to happen and make
happen. Nothing. But there's a problem. The book's
sealed. It's sealed. It's sealed with
seven seals. That's important. Whenever he
uses that number seven, he's talking about perfection, completion,
nothing left out. The whole character of God seals
that book. Nothing in that book will be
contrary to his character. Nothing. Everything God has purposed
to do is going to be in perfect harmony with his character. It's a sealed book. And here's what that means. That
means that to open it. One must be able to do so without
violating the name of God, the very character of God. It
must be interpreted in perfect holiness, and that's the wholeness
of God. I told you before, God didn't
hold in his hand a library of books, just one book. Just one
book. I love what Brother Barnard said.
This guy was telling him what the Commentator said, and Brother
Barnard said, you need to read the Bible. He shed a lot of light
on them commentaries. And he does, don't he? Oh, my soul. One revelation of
God. One source of knowledge of God,
which is eternal life. So what he held in his hands
was what? A book of life. And what is that
life? It's to know God. But the book's
sealed. Book's sealed. Who's gonna open
it? You gonna open it? You gonna open it? I'm not either. But without the contents of this
book, there's gonna be no life. And a question was asked by a
strong angel, who's worthy to open the book and lose the seed?
That's the second thing I want us to see here. Who was found
worthy? to take the book and open the
seals. Verse three, look at this. And
no man in heaven, I'm gonna tell you something. If a man's in
heaven, he's a perfect man. Isn't he? The only way you can
be there. But no man in heaven was worthy to take that book. Nor in earth, nor under the earth. Nobody was able to open the book
or to look therein, nobody. Every chosen sinner who's brought
by the Spirit of God to see that the revelation of God, he's gonna
see that it's in the hands of a sovereign God. And he's gonna want to know who's
worthy to rightly divide the word of truth. And John looked
and nobody came. He listened. Nobody answered
the call. And he said, I wept much. And
no life apart from this book. No life apart from this revelation.
You shut up to the revelation of God. Did you know that? He
don't have to reveal anything to you. He don't have to reveal
anything to me. But I can't have life apart from
this revelation. That's how important this book
was. He said, I wept much because
no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither
to look on it. I've heard a Reformed preacher,
I was preaching up in North Arkansas several years back, and this
Reformed preacher got up and he said to his congregation that
God spoke to him when he was 12 years old and revealed the
gospel to him. He's a liar. He's a liar. not have God save sinners. Listen
to the scriptures, verse five. And one of the elders saith unto
me, weep not, which he weeping. Behold, the lion of the tribe
of Judah, the root of David, hath prevailed to open the book,
and to loose the seven seals. Who's worthy? Christ. Well, you say he opens the book
to his preachers. Oh, no, he don't. He brings out
preachers to see his son open the book. That's a closed book
apart from Christ. You get in it. You try to understand
it apart from Christ. It don't make any sense. It don't
make a bit of sense. It was the lion of the tribe
of Judah, the root of David. He prevailed to open the book
and to loose the seven seals. And my friend, there's only one
revelation of God, and that revelation is Jesus Christ. The book in
God's hands is the book of his redemptive will. Is it not? That's what it is. He's not talking
about the Bible, although the Bible reveals the redemptive
will of God. But that book, in God's hands,
is everything God has purposed to do, everything he's gonna
do. And in Hebrews chapter 10, verse
seven, Paul writes about this, and he said, I, that is Christ,
when he cometh into the world, he said, lo, I come, in the volume
of the book, it's written of me, to do thy will through God. Huh? Who's going to open the
book? Christ is. Christ is. And he's going to reveal it.
How's he going to do that? Because he's going to fulfill
it. I come down here to be baptized.
John said, I don't need to be baptized with you. I'm not worthy
to unloose your shoe latches. You want me? He said, just suffer
it to be so for now. All these things have to be fulfilled,
John. When he's talking about his will,
what's he talking about? There's only one will revealed
in the word of God. Did you know that? God's redemptive
will. When he got through with that
revelation, John started to write because he seen some things and
the Lord said, put your pen up, John. Revelation's complete. Revelation's complete. This is my Father's will which
is sent me, that of all which he hath given me, I shall lose
nothing. I'm gonna raise it up at the
last day. And this is the Father's will which is sent me. Every
one that seeth the Son and believeth on him may have everlasting life. The revelation of God is not
about building schools and raising money and calling out preachers.
The revelation of God is how God saves sinners and still be
God. That's what the gospel's about.
How can he save my soul and still be God? How can he do that? How can he
be just and justify somebody like me? Revelation of God is given in
a person, one person, the Lord Jesus Christ. And like Paul,
every preacher called of God has Christ revealed in him that
he might preach him among the heathen. Brother Barnard used to say,
you can't tell what you don't know anymore and you can come
back from somewhere you hadn't been. And that's, oh, how true
that is. In Ephesians 1, 3 through 7,
Paul speaks of our being blessed of the Father And our Lord Jesus
Christ with all spiritual blessings and heavenly places in Christ.
And these blessings include an eternal election in Christ, our
predestination in Christ, our adoption. What is it that's not
complete in Him? He said all spiritual blessings
according as He has chosen us in Him. And then he works his way down
and he deals with all these things. He deals with election, he deals
with predestination. We're accepted in the blood,
redeemed by his blood, and on and on. And then listen to what
he says. We're in. We're in. He hath abounded toward us in
all wisdom and prudence, having made known unto us the mystery
of his will. All my friends. He opens a book,
don't he? He takes away the seal. And he
said, come here. I'm going to show you something.
I'm going to tell you something. Now, I'm going to tell you something
else. The Lord said this about his preachers. Everybody ain't
a preacher that says he's a preacher. But if he is, if he is, God will
prove to you if he is. But if he is, he that heareth
you, heareth me. You gonna hear it from God? You
gonna hear it through a man. Ask yourself. All in Him, trusted to Him, revealed
by Him, accomplished by Him, preserved in Him. One man worthy,
one man in all eternity, one mediator between God and men,
the man, Christ Jesus. And then watch this. One of the
elders, who's that? Well, he uses that word elders
so many times in the scriptures. I'm gonna give you a few references
you can look at when you get home. 1 Timothy 5.1, 1 Peter
5.1, 1 Timothy 5.15, and on and on and on the list goes. Elders
is talking about pastors, talking about preachers. It's a term used in the scripture
to describe pastors and teachers, not old men. And God's revelation
in Christ is made known by such. Read Ephesians chapter four.
Why did God give these pastors and evangelists to his church?
They're gonna show them Christ. Show them Christ. And you say, well, that just
blows up the pastor. No, there's no personal status
or self-glory identified in these words. He said one of the elders.
He didn't give him a name. Might have been Elijah talking,
it didn't make any difference. One of the elders. And the weeping
won't stop till God sends a man to point you to Christ. Wasn't
Christ there all alone? He was standing right in front
of Mary. He was there all alone. But he has to be revealed. Standing
right there. Paul said though he'd be not
far from every one of you, he said to those, Preachers over
at Mars Hill. I hesitate to call them preachers. He's the Son of God. The Son
of God. But John couldn't see him until
the Spirit of God and the Messenger of God pointed out Christ to
him. He was weeping. He's weeping. He's looking. All
right, here's the third thing. What constitutes the worthiness
of Christ to do these things? And you could easily compile
the book on that. The world couldn't hold the books
if everything Christ did was written down. That's what the
scripture said. The world couldn't hold the book. But for time's sake, I'm going
to limit myself to three things. What constitutes his worthiness?
Who he is. Who he is. Who he is. Jesus Christ. Oh, I pray God
will give you some ears to hear me. Jesus Christ is God. He's God. He's all you're ever
gonna see of God. You ain't gonna see God in heaven,
you're gonna see Him. You'll see God our Savior, but
you ain't gonna see God the Father, the Holy Spirit, you ain't gonna
see Him. He is the invisible God. All you're ever gonna know
about God, you're gonna know in Him. You been so long time
with me and you don't know the Father? Jesus Christ is God. And I'm
gonna tell you something, only God can satisfy God. God the Son come up to His Father
and the Father said, here's the book. Here's the book. In 1 Peter 4, 18, the apostle
said, if the righteous scarcely be saved. Have you ever thought
about that? You know what it takes to be saved? You have to
be as good as God. In fact, you have to be just
like God. Be like God looking in a mirror.
Huh? That's right. Absolute, total
perfection. That's the only way you can be
saved. And he says here, if the righteous scarcely be saved.
What's that talking about? That ain't anything above perfection,
is there? If you reach perfection, you're
scarcely saved. Isn't that right? That's what
he's talking about. And if the righteous scarcely
be saved, where's the ungodly and the sinner going to appear? What God demands is righteousness
equal to his, holiness equal to his, love equal to his. And there's only one that can
accomplish that, and that's Christ. And he's worthy to do this because
he's God and man and one glorious person. And even in him, we scarcely
say. Who condescended from glory?
Who came down? He said, I come down from heaven.
Who did? Who took on him the form of a
servant? Who become obedient unto death?
He who thought it not robbery to what? Be equal with God. Why is he worthy? Because of
who he is. He's worthy to take the book
and open the seals and unfold the redemptive will of God because
he is God. And then secondly, what constitutes
his worthiness to take the book? All his eternal appointments. Oh, I get tired of hearing people,
I'd make Jesus my Lord. You didn't do any such thing. He was Lord before he created
you. He was Lord. He was Lord when
you was kicking against the pricks. He was Lord. He always was Lord
and He always will be Lord. He's Lord. And in His day, Paul
said, here's what, people talk about what they're gonna see
in that day. I'll tell you what you're gonna see in that day.
Paul said, in that day, you're gonna see who God is. You're gonna see omnipotence. you're gonna see the King of
kings and the Lord of lords. And it won't be the first time
you saw it. We saw it by faith first. Our text tells us he is the lamb
as it had been slain, our eternal substitute and representative. And in the typical sacrifices,
only Israel were taught to bring a lamb. Nobody else did. Pharaoh didn't bring no lamb
out there on the river. They worshipped dung beetles
and everything else. I don't know what all they worshipped.
Birds, four-footed beasts, creeping things. Man worshipped himself. But Israel brought a lamb. We're
redeemed, Peter said, with the precious blood of Christ as of
a lamb without blemish and without spot. Now listen, who verily
was foreordained before the foundation of the world what was manifested
in these last times for you, who by him do believe. In God
that raised him from the dead. There was one mediator between
God and men, the man Christ Jesus. One priest after the order of
Melchizedek. He had no father, he had no mother.
Mary, the mother of Jesus, my soul, the mother of God, they
say. Oh, my soul. He tells us over
in Hebrews he didn't have a mother and he didn't have a father.
He's a priest forever. When did priesthood start? Forever.
I got no words for it, do you? And God chose us in Christ, putting
us into a covenant union with him, manifested that union as
he took upon himself the seed of Abraham. And by virtue of
this union, we lived, died, and rose from the dead in Christ,
and are perfectly presently seated in him in glory. His worth is constituted by his
appointments, and then thirdly, by his works. Jesus Christ being
the God-man cannot fail. Ain't that what you said? He
can't fail. There's no circumstance, no unforeseen
thing that could prevent him from accomplishing the will of
God. And all of God's elect shall obtain an inheritance being predestinated
according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after
the counsel of his own will. Now listen, that we should be
to the praise of his glory who first trusted in Christ. Did
God, somebody told me the other day that was talking about the
apostles. I wanted to kick him in the shins. It's talking about
God the Father. When did he trust him? When he
gave him the book. Why did he give it to him? He trusted him.
Listen, this next verse in Ephesians one, in whom you also trusted
after you heard. What'd you hear? God gave him
the book. He opened the seals. You saw his worthiness, just
like God did. And you say, I'm going to trust
him. I can trust him. You ain't going to trust that
little peewee Jesus they talk about today, my soul. I'm going to tell you something
else. I'm getting tired of folks getting all over me about eternal
justification. If God didn't justify you and
his son before the foundation of the world, when Adam sinned,
he would have obliterated this earth. It wouldn't have lasted
up. There ain't no minute way of
even determining how fast God would have killed it, just destroyed
it. Satan just said in his heart,
he didn't say anything. He just said in his heart. oppose
God's salvation in Christ. And I saw him fall from heaven
like a lightning. Let me ask you something, when
the Lord, by his own blood, he told Mary, don't touch me,
I haven't sinned yet. When he did a sin, and by his
own blood, entered into heaven itself, What did he obtain? What kind of redemption? Eternal
redemption. That redemption purposed in him,
trusted in him. He accomplished that, Larry.
He accomplished it. He obtained it. It's in his possession. Oh, we wanted... I tell you, we're
like a bunch of little spoiled brats. We run around, get offended
over this, that, and the other, and run off somewhere and hide.
We're dealing with God. This is God we're talking about.
This is the salvation of my eternal soul. I ain't playing games. He can save us or pass us by. But he delights to show mercy.
Boy, I tell you, I'm a sinner and I can hope in that. He delights
to show mercy. And all those who are intellectuals,
they can cry and protest all they want to. But all his works
were counted finished before the world ever was created. Huh? Listen to this over in Hebrews
chapter four, verse three. He said, for we which have believed
do enter into rest. What's that talking about? That
talking about that rest just like God rested. Rested in his
son, trusted everything to his son. He knew what was coming,
trusted it into his son. And we hear that and we trust,
we do the same. We enter in, all believers enter
into that rest. Our rest in Christ. And all the unbelievers he done
swore they're not going to. They're not going to. Now listen
to the last part of that verse. Although the works were finished
from the foundation of the world. Oh my soul. Oh my preacher, you're taking
away the necessity of the sacrifice of his death. No I ain't, I'm
establishing it. He's gonna do what God trusted
him to do. What'd he trust him to do? Die
in our room instead. What's he gonna do? Die in our
room instead. When Christ entered into heaven
with his own blood, he obtained eternal redemption. What kind
of life did he give us? Eternal life. When did it go in? It ain't.
Huh? When did it start? In eternity. Eternity. How do you know that? Well, you can read over there
in Colossians chapter 3, I think, he said, our life was hid in
Christ and God. Where was it? When did he do
that? Way back yonder. Way back yonder. Had his work not been accepted
then, God would have destroyed the earth. He was then, when
they saw him, they saw a lamb as it had been, not was going
to be, as if it had been slain. And then he tells us in verse
nine, thou art worthy to take the book and to open the seals
thereof for thou wast slain and hast redeemed us to God by thy
blood out of every kindred and tongue and people and nation.
And has made us unto our God kings and priests and we're gonna
reign on the earth. In my house I got some coffee
table books, what I call them. And my wife always wanted to
go to Niagara Falls. I said, OK. We'll go. So I took
her up to Niagara Falls. And we did the whole nine yards. We went down to the Cave of the
Winds. We did all this stuff, you know. You can go down behind
the falls. They got a big hole there. And
you can look and see the water from the inside. And the sound
is just deafening. And the wind from it will blow
you right off the platform when you get down there. And that's
just a little part of the falls. Anyway, we got there, and she
said, we got to have something to take home so we can remember. We'll look at it years from now
with our grandkids, and we'll tell them all about going to
Niagara Falls. And I said, OK. So she bought this great big
old book. I took it home, and it laid there for who knows how
many years. And she was dead and gone by
then. And I was in there one day, and
I had invited all the church down. And I thought, well, you
know, I'll I had a lamp shade. It was covered with dust. And
I thought, man, you better get this house cleaned. You got a
bunch of people coming down here. And I started cleaning. And I
looked up there, and them books had dust on it that day. And
I got that book down, started cleaning it. And the pages come
open. And I looked down there, and
he's talking about these daredevils in the early years of Niagara. And had this one guy, they called
him the Great Blandy. He was the daredevil of the daredevils. And, you know, we watched one
here a few years ago walk across the falls. He had that big pole.
I didn't think he was going to make it. He just barely did.
The great Blandin put peach baskets on his feet and walked across.
Pushed a man across in a wheelbarrow. Walked out in the middle of those
falls, and the maid of the mist, that ship was down there, and
he lowered down a rope. And they put a bottle of wine
and some glasses on there, and he brought it up, poured him
a glass and drank it, and lowered it back down. And he finished walking across
the falls, and he got on the other side, and old Harry, his
promoter, was sitting over there. And man, he was applauding. That
crowd was just going nuts. And he said, well, Harry, he
said, do you believe now that I can do everything I said I
could do? Harry said, you sold me. He said, get on. You know, and here he did. And he carried him back across
them falls and set him down. You believe Jesus Christ did
everything he said he can do? Huh? Get on! What are you waiting for? Get
on! Get on! There ain't life anywhere
else. There ain't wisdom anywhere else.
There's nothing out there. It's just Christ. And I guarantee
you he can do everything he said he can do. He's already done
it. He's already done it. May the
