And you've been preaching the
gospel for quite a while. And man, I'm so thankful to have
you. Thankful God has allowed us to
be together. You come preach Christ to us,
please. Malachi chapter 3. Malachi chapter
3. Good to see old friends, new
friends. Folks, I haven't seen for years. You know, our memories may completely
fail us entirely. But one thing that will not fail,
God's memory won't. Everyone He ever knew, He'll
always know. And everyone He ever knew before
eternity, He'll always know into eternity. Oh, what a blessed
thing to think about. What a blessed thing to think
about. Let me start reading up here.
I think it's in verse 13 where I want to start because there's
such a dramatic change. The Lord speaking here, he said,
Your words have been stout against me. You got some pretty rough
things to say to me, some things about me. You're a pretty big
talker. said the Lord. Yet you say, what
have we spoken against you? What have we spoken against thee?
He said, this is what you said. It's vain to serve God. It's
useless. It's empty. It don't amount to
anything. And what profit is it that we have kept His ordinance? What good has it done us? And that we have walked mournfully
before the Lord of hosts. And now, he said, this is where
you really, really, really are stout against me. And this is
where you really are vain. And where you walk and don't
keep my ordinance. And now you call the proud happy.
God said, I hate pride. I hate a proud look. Pride is one of the abominations
of God. And yea, they that work in wickedness. He's talking to religious people.
They that work wickedness. Can you imagine how wicked it
is to get up and preach that salvation is by man's will, by
man's power, by man's decision, by man letting God do something
for him, that God is waiting on you to do something, that
God's in your hands to do with him and it's up to you to do
something. How wicked is that? Could anything
be more wicked for a man to do than to talk like that about
God? And oh, listen, he said, and they set him up. They set
him up. Yea, they that tempt God are
even delivered. He said, they'll be delivered
from all their troubles. But then look what had changed.
Look what had changed. Then, they that feared the Lord. What a difference. What a difference! Yet they that fear the Lord spake
often one to another. And the Lord hearkened, and heard
it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them
that fear the Lord, and that thought upon his name. And they
shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I
shall make up my jewels. I will spare them as a man spareth
his own son that serveth him. Then shall you return and discern
between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth
God and him that serveth him not. When it says they that fear
the Lord, I want to talk about a blessed fear, a wonderful fear,
a fear that only God can give a man. And fear is a good thing. Fear is a good thing. You know,
when you're growing up, fear keeps you from doing a lot of
things that you'd hurt yourself. It keep people from getting hurt.
I know that I ain't gonna touch fire because I've been hurt by
it, so I'm afraid of fire. And it cause parents to teach,
teach their children to do certain things. Don't be foolish. And
they want to protect their children from danger and from hurt and
harm and danger. And it keeps people out of danger.
But there's two sides to fear. There's a positive side that
I just mentioned and the negative side is when you have a fear
and that's a very bad thing. There's a fear that has torment
and that fear can be so unreasonable. You know, they call it paranoia. Now I'll tell you something about
myself. When I came back from Vietnam I had some fears that
were so terrible that I'd go to bed at night and say, Lord,
don't let the morning come. Then I'd get up in the morning,
don't let the night come. My whole life was nothing but
a torment. Fear had such torment. And I
was so afraid of so many things. And it can be crippling. Fear
can be crippling. It can cripple people that they
can't do things. They get a phobia. Those people
have lots of phobias. And Job said this about himself
over in Job 3. I'll read it to you. He said,
For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that
which I was afraid of come unto me, and that which I was afraid
come unto me, that which I greatly feared come on me. Come on. But
a fear of God is a blessed thing. Oh, if you have a fear of God
in your heart, you have a fear of God and a reverence for God
in your heart, mind, and soul, you're greatly blessed of God.
Greatly blessed of God. There's people that don't fear
God. There's people that don't even think about God. And that's
one of the things that Paul said when he accused the people of
not having a righteousness and didn't understand and never sought
God. He said one of the greatest things
that they had was there was no fear of God before their eyes. They can stand up and talk about
God and say some of the awful things about God. And yet, beloved,
they have no fear of God. But if God put a fear of himself
in your heart, what a blessed thing that God's done that for.
And you know, the fear of God, the Bible tells us, that's just
the beginning of wisdom. That's just where it starts.
That don't where it stops. That's just where it starts.
The beginning of wisdom, that's where it starts. And that don't
never stop. Once you start fearing God, it
just, and oh my. But I'll tell you what, And I
tell you, if God gives you the fear of the Lord, you know what
that tells me? That you just started getting
a little bit of sins, just a little bit, not a lot, just a little
bit, just a little bit. But let me give you out of these
verses that I read tonight, three things about the Lord's people,
three things about the Lord's people. The first thing we know
about them is that they reverence, they have a great reverence for
God. It says, they that feared the Lord, And that's what that
really, really means, is have a great reverence for God. You
hear people call themselves reverend and right reverend, but the only
place that reverend is His name. And I tell you, when you fear
God, and here's the thing, now let me tell you this, we're not
afraid of God, we're not afraid of being punished by God. That's
not the fear I'm talking about. We're not afraid of God giving
us retribution for anything that we've done. We're not afraid
that God's going to whip us real, real bad if we do something bad. But oh no, when he's talking
about the fear of the Lord, he's talking about a fear that motivates
us to honor Him, glorify Him, and bless Him, and praise Him,
and speak of Him in the right, and even, listen, we got, by
God's grace, we cannot thank too highly of God. By God's grace
we cannot get our head into the place that would honor God the
way it ought to be. The way it ought to be. But oh
my, to honor Him. I'm not afraid of the Lord's
presence. There was a time I was afraid
of the Lord's presence. You know the first man God made,
the man Adam, after he sinned against God, you know what the
first thing he did? He went ahead. He was afraid
of God. He didn't want God to be in his
presence, and he didn't want to be in the presence of God.
You know, that's the first thing that ever happened to that man.
After he sinned, he ran over and hid, and actually thought
that he could hide. and it can hide but oh my and
I tell you what now I don't fear his presence oh God give me your
presence I want to have your presence I want your presence
when I'm asleep I want your presence when I'm awake I want your presence
when I'm sitting I want your presence when I'm walking I want
your presence wherever I am and whatever I'm doing give me your
presence oh to have the presence of God Oh my, and I tell you
the fear of God influences our attitude. You know that? It will
infuse our attitude about God, about His Word, about one another. And I tell you it also influences
our disposition. Could you honestly complain about
God ever doing anything against you? Is God mistreating you in
any way? Your disposition's been changed
because God put a fear of you in His heart. They that fear
the Lord. Oh, your disposition. And I tell
you, it changes in your circumstances. I know today, today there's a
woman and her mother both. Her cancer was in remission,
it come back. And her mother started chemo
today. And the other one's going to
figure out, the doctor's going to figure out how to treat it
the second time. Now that's some awful circumstances
to be put in. But what kind of disposition
do you reckon they have? They've got a disposition, it's
the Lord. Let Him do what seems good. That's what I'm talking about.
That's what the fear of God does for you. And all because we trust
Him. And I'll tell you something else
about the fear of God. It affects our worship. It affects
our worship. Oh my, we worship God. I want
you to look in Malachi 1.6. Look what God says over here
about some people. You know, the fear of God affects
our worship. We worship God in reverence,
in godly fear. Look what he said here in Malachi
1.6, A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If
then I be a father, where is mine honor? And if I be a master,
where is my fear? saith the Lord of hosts. Unto
you, O priest, that despise my name. And you say, When have
you despised me? Oh, I tell you what, the fear
of God affects our worship. I mean, you know, we, you know
why, why our services, and this is what's so wonderful about
the services we have. People sit quietly and listen
to what God has to say. They're not jumping up and down
and waving their hands and clapping them and making all nines a call.
You know, we worship God in reverence and godly fear. Let us have grace
that we may serve God acceptably. That's what the apostle Paul
said. We don't gather here to see who's the most spiritual.
We're not here to see who's the most spiritual person in the
building. We're not here to see who can holler the most, who
can give the best testimony, who can remember more scriptures
than anybody else. Oh, no. I tell you what, we're
here to worship God. And I tell you, our fear of God
affects how we worship God. Oh, it affects how we worship
God. I remember years ago, And I was learning the gospel. There
was an old man and his dad sat over here on the right. And he
had just... Carry on like that. Boy, I got
so tired of that one time, I just turned to him and said, what
did I just say? He'd holler, amen, amen, amen. And what did
I just say? You could hurt a pin drop. And that's the way it is. See
how reverent you are? How quiet you are? You know why
you do that? Because God, God, we're here
to worship God, not make noise. Not to make noise. We're here
to worship God. And I tell you what, look what else it says
about the Lord's people. They fear God. It affects their
worship, their influence, their disposition. But look what else
it says about it. They that fear the Lord spake
often one to another. And look what it says down there
in the last part of the verse. And they thought upon his name. They, the fear of the Lord, they
thought upon his name. You know, I hope you don't misunderstand
me. Believers are the most, they
think more than the average person does. You cannot know God and
believe the Bible and understand the scriptures and what we preach
and be a dummy. You can't, you have to pay attention. And that's what I'm telling you. Now religion, free willism, you
don't have to think about that. You don't have to think about
that. Well, I joined the church, hallelujah. I got saved, the
preacher got me saved. Ain't no thoughts in that. There
ain't no thoughts in Pentecostalism. There ain't no thoughts in people
giving testimonies and doing handclaps and all that rigmarole.
There's no thought in that. But when you start talking about
God and how holy and how righteous and how powerful and how blessed
He is, When you start talking about God and His holiness and
His righteousness and His power and His right to do what He will
with His people, that His right to do what He will in this world,
to say that Jesus Christ is the Lord of glory and everybody on
the face of this earth is in His hand to do with as He will. Oh, listen, you'll start to think
about that. You and you start thinking about
being addressed as a worm. Wait a minute. Don't make you
mad. Grasshopper don't make you mad.
Oh my. Oh, they thought upon his name.
You know why they thought on his name? You cannot know God
and not think about him. You cannot know God's character
and His character and His name and His precious. You cannot
know God without thinking about Him. Let's just say some things
about Him. The name of the Lord is a strong
tower. That's the first thing He said.
The name of the Lord is a strong tower. What are you going to
do? I'm going to run and get in it and I'll be safe. I'll be safe. Oh my! Look in Exodus 33, everybody
knows this, but it's worth looking at. It's worth looking at. Exodus 33, everybody's seen this
before, but I'll tell you what, it's worth, that's one of the
things about the Lord that you never get tired of. Have you ever got tired of Exodus
33? Moses you know God look what
he said in verse 18 Moses asked God he said I beseech thee show
me thy glory Now wait a minute. Do you think about this? He just
went through the Red Sea on dry ground He seen God kill all the firstborn
in Egypt he seen ten plagues sit and God call them all back
and He's seen so many things. He saw the first time he met
God, God met him on a burning bush. And then he turns around
and said, Lord, I want to see your glory. He didn't go back
to his experiences. He didn't go back to all he had
seen and all he had done. He said, Lord, I want to see
your glory. of all the things that I've seen,
oh, to see your glory, to see the glory of our God in heaven
and earth. He said, I want to see your glory.
And oh, here's what our Lord said to him. God spoke back to
him. He said, I'll make all my goodness pass before you. Now,
how good do you reckon God is? How good do you reckon He is?
I'll tell you something, I know this without a shadow of a doubt,
nobody will face God in eternity and say, God, you didn't treat
me good. God treats everybody good. And I'll tell you what, He treats
us better than we deserve, that's for sure. The one thing I hate
about, listen, I hate this thing, you know, people flippantly saying,
well, it's the good Lord. I don't like that. No, I don't
like that. No, no. God in His glory. He said, Oh Lord, show me. And
He said, I'll cause my goodness to pass before you. I'm good
in my Father. I'm good in the Son. I'm good
in the Holy Ghost. I am a good God. And my goodness
is going to go before you. And then look what He said, I'm
going to do this. God said, I'm going to proclaim
my own name. I'm going to do it. We try to
proclaim His name, but God said, I'm going to proclaim my name.
before you. I'm going to proclaim my name
before you. Oh, I'm going to say I am that I am. Look what
he goes on to say now. And this is what you're talking
about good. This is how good he is. I will be gracious to
whom I will be gracious. You know what that means? That
he's a God of grace. You say, well, I tell you what,
I would like you to show that grace to me. All you got to do
is ask, and then show mercy on whom I show mercy. Oh my! You think about His name. You
know, they thought upon His name. His name is powerful. You know
how powerful His name is? That God Almighty told us that
all we had to do is take the name of His blessed Son, and
it has such power to it that we can say, God have mercy on
us. Be gracious to us. pity us. Oh, God, look upon us. Oh, God,
save us. Oh, God, have mercy on us. Oh,
God, please do something for us. And we'll tell Him about,
He said His name is so powerful that it's Your righteousness,
Lord, that we come in His name. It's Your merit that we come
in. It's in His power we come in. It's in the name of His work
we come in. In the cross we come in. We dare
not come in our own selves. in any way, shape, or form. We
don't use our name. We don't use anything we've ever
done. And oh my! How do you describe God? Describe Him the way He does.
How He describes Himself, that's the way we'll describe Him. He
says, I'm Almighty! Oh my! Oh, he has titles. Oh, I'm a
just God and a Savior. Righteousness is my name. And
oh, this is the most, this is, this is, this is, this is where
he describes himself more than any other way. He's holy. He describes himself as holy
more than any other way. Do you know that? His holy name. The seraphims cry, holy, holy,
holy. My holiness is before me. Oh my, He is just God. And I love, I love His justice. I love His justice. And He's
righteous and He's holy. And He's good. And He's gracious. And He's omniscient. And He's
eternal. And my favorite of all, my Savior. My Savior. Oh, what a name! Just, Tim James said one time,
if Savior wasn't His name, then how do you know you'd be saved?
But since it says He's a Savior, that means He's a Savior and
He's going to say who He's Savior for. He's a Savior! bless his name, come by an old
wretched, miserable, black-hearted, God-hating, Christ-rejecting,
mean, miserable, mean man has ever walked on the earth, and
he broke me, he broke me, and he put me down, and oh, he let
me know that he was God, and I said, Lord, only thing I could
say, Lord, you don't owe me a thing, but if you will, Would you show
me mercy? Would you be merciful to me?
That's all. Oh God. And I asked for mercy
then. And you know what I ask for now?
Mercy. Mercy. Mercy. Grace. Grace and mercy. You know, it
pleased the Lord to make you His people. The psalmist David
said, Oh Lord, I'll lead. He said, I'll lead you in the
paths of righteousness for my name's sake. Oh my. Oh, for my
name's sake. And then here's the third thing
about the Lord's people. They feared the Lord. They were
thoughtful people. They thought upon His name. And
then look what else it says about them. And then they feared the
Lord spake often one to another. They liked to talk about Him. They liked to talk about Him.
Huh? How many conversations have I
had with preachers and people on the phone or in person or
in a meeting somewhere about the things of the Lord? We speak
about Him, one another. What was you going, you know,
we'll talk, why are you preaching? Oh, I'm going to write that down.
I'm going to use that one. What does this verse of Scripture
mean? Oh, I tell you, I don't know. Do you know? Yeah, I'm
going to write that down. We speak often one to another.
Oh, we speak one to another about the things of God. My wife and
I speak about the things of the Lord. We speak often one to another. Don't we speak often one to another
about the things of God? And I tell you, those who love
the Lord, they love one another. Let me show you something. Psalm
66. I hope I'm not preaching too
long. Psalm 66, verse 16. Look what it says over here. Oh, those who fear the Lord spake
often one another and love one another. Look what the psalmist
said. Come in here! Come in here! Listen to me! All ye that fear
God. Why you want us to do that for
you? Why you want us to get around? Because I got something I want
to tell you. I want to declare what He hath done for my soul. That's all we're talking about.
That's what we're talking about. Now that's three things about
the Lord's people. Now we'll give you three things
about the Lord. Three things about the Lord. Look what it
says here. In verse 16, they that feared the Lord spake often
one to another. And listen to what it says here. Then the Lord hearkened and heard
it. The Lord hearkened and heard
it. You know the Lord listens to
His people. He really listens to His people. The Lord hearkened. He said,
is my ear heavy? Am I short of my ear heavy that
I cannot hear? Oh, He hears what we say about Himself. But the Lord hears. I want you,
I think I want you to look at Psalm 94.9. I think that's what
I'm wanting to do. You know, what did I say, 94.9? Yeah, yeah, that's it, yeah. Look what he said here about
this. He listens to his people. The Lord hearkened. Hearken. When they speak of the Lord hearkened.
When they was talking about him, he hearkened. Look what he said.
He that planted the ear shall he not hear? He that formed the
eye shall he not see? You reckon God formed this ear
and he don't hear what you got to say? Look in Psalm 116. I heard Scott
Richardson preach from this one time. And I mean he, as they
say down home, he shelled the corn. He shelled the corn. Look what he said here. And I
use this often at home. He said, I love the Lord. Psalm
116 verse 1. I love the Lord because He hath
heard my voice. He heard my voice. and my supplications
when I ask Him. And oh, listen to this, because
He inclined His ear unto me. You ever been in a service when
back before people had hearing aids, if they had hard hearing,
they'd lean towards you, you know, and cup their ear. You
ever seen anybody do that? Old Floyd Boring used to do that
all the time. He'd, you know, cup his ear. And so, you know,
get to his good ear. But listen, God don't, He inclines
his ear. You know, we don't even know
what to say sometimes, but he said, listen, all we can do is
just whisper a prayer or something like that. But he gets down there
and he inclines his ear. I hear you. I hear you. I got you. I understand what
you're saying. Just like we get down to listen
to our babies talk. We get down to hear what they
got to say. And then when people get old, And their voice gets
so frail, you have to get real close to them to listen to them.
And that's, we're so frail. He said, we, Lord pities us as
a father pities us. He'll know with our frame that
we are but dust. And oh, we are so feeble. And then the Lord
has to kind easy to hear what we got to say. Oh, hear what we got to say. Ain't
you glad he does that? And isn't this what he says,
since he's done that for me, I'm gonna call up on him as long
as I live. Call on him, I'm gonna call on
him. And oh, the Lord, he hears what his people say. He hears
what they say about himself. Oh my, he hears what we say about
himself. And oh my, we cannot say high
enough things about God. And I tell you something else
he hears, He hears what we say about each other. He's interested
in our words. You know, our Lord, oftentimes,
He'd ask His disciples. I can take it two times right
now. I'm going through Mark, and one time, the disciples come
in. He said, What were you talking
about along the way? You know how He knew what they
was talking about along the way? Because He heard what they had
to say. What was He talking about? Well, He said, You know this,
I'm the best preacher of Utah. I swear to you and I'm the best.
The Lord loves me more than anybody else. I pray more than anybody
else. I know the Bible more than any of you fellas put together.
And the Lord, you know what he done to get those fellas attention?
He took a little child, set him right in the middle. You'd be
like that child right there. What does a child know? Only
what somebody gives him. What somebody tells him. Oh my. Another time they wanted to know
what people thought about him. What did Ben say about me? Oh,
well, some say you're John the Baptist, some say you're Jeremiah,
some say you're one of the other prophets. He wanted to know what
they thought about him. I mean, he's interested. I mean,
he listens to us. And I'll tell you what, he's
interested in our words. Look with me in Matthew chapter
12. This is something that that a lot of people misunderstand
what this means. But in Matthew 12, by your words
you're justified or by your words you're condemned. And this is
exactly what he's talking about. Our Lord hearkened and listened.
Hearkened and listened. Look what our Lord says now.
Now the bundle of the heart, the mouth speaketh. Our Lord
said in verse 34, Matthew 12, O generation of vipers, Oh, we
don't want to offend anybody. Our Lord said, you are snakes.
You're all a bunch of snakes. These folks said, where are we
going to take up snakes? Listen, we've been taking up snakes ever
since God saved us. There's vipers all over the place.
And they're deadly. They've got the poison of asthma
in their lips. Now look what He goes on to say. You being evil, how can you being
evil speak something good? For out of the abundance of the
heart the mouth speaks. What's in your heart is what's
coming out. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart
bringeth forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure
of his heart bringeth forth evil things. But I say unto you that
every idle word that men shall speak they give an account thereof
in the day of judgment. Now people think that this is,
well, we should never talk about the weather, don't never talk
about fishing, don't never talk about work, Don't never talk
about having a big time, don't never have a big, you know, that's
not what he's talking about, idle words like that. He goes
on to say it this way. When you speak idle words, empty
words, useless words about God, about Christ, if you come out
of your mouth with evil things, that's what you are. Comes out
of the mouth with good things, he says, by your given account,
but for by thy words, you're going to be justified. And by
your words you shall be condemned. And what he's talking about here,
what you say about God, what you say about Christ, what you
say about yourself, what you say about sin, that's what he's
talking about here. And I tell you what, God help
us. And then look, not only that,
but he hears what we got to say. Look back over in Malachi again
with me. Look in Malachi with me. Not only did he hear what we
had to say, he hearkened and heard it. He heard what we had
to say. He heard what we had to say.
He heard what we had to say. And then a book of remembrance
was written before him. He wrote down a book of remembrance.
But I'm going to tell you what he don't remember. I'll tell
you what he won't remember before I tell you what he does. He don't
remember sin. That's not in that book. Sin's not in that book. Rebellion's
not in that book. Disobedience is not in that book.
None of those things are in that book. But oh, this book of remembrance. There's several books in the
Bible. There's called the Book of Life. Paul talked about those
who were written in the Book of Life. Oh my, you gotta see
this. I know I'm having you turn, but
look in Psalm 56. You just gotta see this. This is what the Lord does. Psalm 56, verse eight. Look what he says down here now. Let's see, 56, eight. Thou tellest my wonderings. Oh,
my. Thou put my tears into thy bottle. Are they not in thy book? Are
they not in thy book? Your tears in your book and in
a bottle and in your book? Oh, my. I tell you, there's the
book of life. Oh, he remembers all that he
gives life to. He remembers all who he's going
to give life to. And I tell you what, you know,
here's the thing, the Old Testament saint, when you go back to the
Old Testament, and you got looking at him, you look at Abraham,
God's going to be his exceeding reward, but he was afraid twice,
he lied twice about Sarah being his sister instead of his wife,
because he was afraid he'd get killed, and they'd take his wife.
Now, what if me and you done that? They've excluded us from
the church the first time in the earth's life. You ain't coming
back in here again. And then Abraham, he decided,
you know, not to trust God, and he went down to Egypt. But when you look at him in the
New Testament, by faith, by faith, by faith, about one thing wrong
with him. And then you look at Lot. You
look at Lot in the Old Testament. There's no way under God's Son
that man could know the Lord. New Testament said he's a just
man and a righteous man. That's what happens because of
what Christ did. That's what happened. That's
what God, he don't remember those things. But oh, he remembers
us in time after having chosen us in eternity. Oh, he remembers
us in time after he chose us in eternity. He said, I chose
him back there in eternity. And you know what? It's time.
It's time. Time for what? Time of love.
Time of the day of my power. I'm going to make them willing.
They don't believe. I'm going to give them faith.
And then I'm going to treat them like the faith is theirs and
I'm going to reward it just like it belongs to them and count
them righteous. Oh my. And he ain't going to
get out his book. He isn't going to get out his
book. He isn't going to get out his book and start reading all
the good things we did, all the good words we spoke, all the
kind deeds we did. He's not going to do that. No,
no. No, no. He's not going to do
that. Lord, he said, if there be any
evil way in me, save me from it. Oh, my. He's not going to
do that. And then look what not only is
he business to us, what we say about him, Harkin hears what
we ought to say. He's got a book of remembrance, and I'll tell you what, there's
nothing absolutely that he can remember about us except being
righteous and just and perfect. And then look what he says, and
in verse 17, he is so faithful, and they shall be mine, saith
the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels, and
I'll spare them as a man spareth his own son that serveth him."
Oh, I like this. They shall be mine. They shall be mine. Not only
shall they be mine, but I'm gathering up jewels, and they're my jewels,
and they're all mine. Do you feel like you're a jewel?
God says you are. Oh, God says you are. Listen
to all mine. They shall be mine when I make
up my jewel. All that the Father giveth me
shall come to me. And all that cometh to me I shall
in no wise cast out. But I'll raise Him up at the
last day. Oh, my. God who saved us and called us
with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to
His own grace given us in Christ before the world began. And he
says, they shall be mine. They shall be mine. They shall
be mine to choose. They shall be mine to love. They shall be mine to save. They
shall be mine to keep. They shall be mine to feed. They
shall be mine to teach. they shall be mine to lead, they
shall be mine to glorify." He said, Father, I will that where
I am that they may be with me and behold the glory which I
had before the world began. And I did see that one of these
days. And then, oh my, having loved his own, he loved them
unto the end of the world. Oh, he's so faithful. When they
come to get our Lord Jesus Christ, Out of the garden of Gethsemane,
he said, You want me? You can't have these. That's
what he says here. I'll make up my jewels, special
treasure. And then look what he said. He
spares us as a man spares his own son. And he did not spare
his son that he might spare us. Bless his name. Oh, my. Well, I think that's a fear worth
fearing, don't you? I do. I do. Thank you. Appreciate you very much for
listening.
