Good morning, everybody. Good
morning. Thank you. It's good to be back with you
all again. I haven't seen you all in, I think it's been two years.
I've missed you all greatly. I've missed you greatly. Turn
to Psalm 130. Psalm 130. I read a bunch of commentaries
on this Psalm. I was trying to figure out who wrote it, because
it doesn't say it up in the first verse there. And most of the
commentators, they said it was probably David. figure if you're
in the business of making commentaries that's a safe bet, right? Because
David wrote most of them. That's a hedger bet you go with
David. But we don't know. It's not titled. We don't know
who wrote this psalm. But there are three things we know about
the psalmist. The first thing we know about him is this, is
that he writes from a position of great distress. Look at the
first verse here. He says, out of the depths have
I cried unto thee, O Lord. Something has got this man in
a great position of distress. He's downtrodden and he's in
the depths, means he's touching bottom. But in this position
of great distress from these depths that he calls it, he also
has a great hope. And this is really a duality
that only exists in the believer. He is constantly distressed and
constantly hopeful all in the same boat, all the time. This
is the way we live our lives. Constantly distressed, constantly
worried, but also constantly hopeful. We have a great hope
in Christ. Third thing we have here is this, he's constantly
distressed, but constantly hopeful, but also this, he wants his brethren,
like-minded people, who are in the same distress, to have this
same hope. And I figure if he wanted to
define preaching, what it is, that's pretty much it right there,
a distressed man who has found hope, and he wants his brethren,
people in this same distressed state, to find the same hope.
Now, what I'd like to do this morning, we're gonna go for a
walk. We're gonna walk through Psalm 130, and we're just gonna
talk about what's being said here, okay? Before we do that,
let's have a word of prayer. Our Father in heaven, Lord, we
come to you this day in the high and holy name of your son, the
Lord Jesus Christ, and we ask, Lord, that we would be brought
to a position this morning that we would see something of his
glory and his greatness. Lord, that you would bring us
to the depths, to this distressed state in our sin, Lord, that
we may be comforted with the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ,
that he died for sinners and completed the work and there
is nothing left to do. Lord, we pray that you would be honored
and magnified in this hour. And we ask these things in your
son's name. Amen. Psalm 130, pick up in verse one.
The psalmist says, out of the depths have I cried unto thee. O Lord." Now what's interesting
about this is he does not say, out of the depths I'm crying
unto you, O Lord. He clearly is. He's crying for
the Lord from the depths, but he's saying it in the past tense.
You see, this is familiar ground for the psalmist. Out of the
depths have I cried unto thee, O Lord. I'm constantly in these
depths. I'm constantly in this distressed
state. I'm constantly crying to the Lord out of these places.
Is this not where we live our lives? Is this not where the
believer lives his life in this constant distress state? And
you should say it with a sigh. Out of the depths have I cried
unto thee, O Lord. I was crying yesterday, in the
depths yesterday. I'm crying today, I'm in the
depths today. Tomorrow I'm gonna be in those same depths. And
what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna cry unto the Lord. That's where we
live our lives. Look at verse two. When you read this in your mind's
eye, With your mind's ear, there should be a stress in your voice,
an urgency to it. It should come out like a violent
begging. Lord, hear my voice. Let thine ears be attentive to
the voice of my supplications. That's how it should come out.
There is one thing that is absolutely clear. He is beyond human help.
He is beyond human intervention. Everyone else he could possibly
turn to, they couldn't help him. Anywhere else he could possibly
go, there was no help there. There is one person who can help
this man, and that's the Lord. If the Lord does not bow down
and lend that a tent of ear and do something for this man in
these depths, he's not gonna be helped. That's absolutely
clear. He's in a distressed state. He's
at the bottom of the depths right here, and if the Lord doesn't
help him, he's not gonna be helped. What has got this man so down? What's
the problem here? Is he having family problems?
Is he sick? Maybe he is, but there's a bigger
issue here, right? Go to verse three. If thou, Lord, shouldest mark
iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? Nobody. What's his problem? What's got
him down in the depths? What's making him touch bottom
right now? It's he's a sinner. He's full of iniquity. Now, why
does that bother him so much? Why should that bother him so
much? Why would that put him down in the depths? Well, he knows
a few things. Here's a few things he knows. Number one, he knows
he does. He does. The Lord does mark iniquities. He is the Holy One with a perfect
sense of justice. And He keeps a ledger book of
all iniquities and all wrongs. He marks them all, and He is
no crooked bookkeeper. He never misallocates something.
He never moves from one column to somebody else's column. He
never scrubs anything out of the book. He never makes a mistake
and puts something in somebody's column that's not supposed to
be there. It is perfect record keeping. And when He opens that
book and He sees iniquity marked by a man's name, you know what
He has to do? He has to punish that man. He's the Holy One with
a perfect sense of justice. And when he sees iniquity, he
must punish that man. That's the only thing he can
do with it. He's a God that will not accept sin and he won't overlook
it. That's the first thing he knows. That's the first thing
that got him distressed about his sin. Second thing is this, he
knows the Lord has the right and the power to mark iniquities.
He is the omnipotent sovereign. What that means is he is all
powerful. There's nobody with more power than him, and any
entity that has any power, it is simply because he gave him
that power, and he could yank it out from underneath him any
time he wants. He's all powerful, and he's in absolute sovereign
control of everyone and everything at all times. If you will be
saved, if I will be saved, it is completely up to him. And
I cannot manipulate him in any way, shape, or form. He's the
omnipotent sovereign. He has the right and the power.
He has the right to make the rules. He has the power to make
the rules. He has the right and the power to hold men accountable
for breaking those rules. He has the right and the power
to dish out punishment for disobedience to those rules. And you know
what? If he was not the omnipotent sovereign, he would not be worthy
of fear. If he could be thwarted, if he could have, well, I'm gonna
make these rules and I'm gonna hold men accountable, but men
could somehow squirm out of it. They could somehow manipulate
him and get out of it. He would be no one to be feared, but he is.
He is the omnipotent sovereign. He has the right to make the
rules. He does make the rules. He holds men accountable. He
can, and he does, and he will. That's who we're dealing with.
You starting to see where the psalmist is distressed from? He's a sinner.
He's in the hands of a sovereign God who demands perfection. Here's
the last thing he knows. He knows the answer to his own
question. If thou, O Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, who? Nobody's
gonna stand. He knew what Paul knew, Romans
3.10. There is none righteous, no, not one. There is none that
understandeth. There is none that seeketh after God. They
are all gone out of the way. They are together become unprofitable.
There is none that doeth good, no, not one. Folks, if we weren't
distressed before we walked through the door, we should be now because
here's where we stand, condemned men and women in the hands of
a sovereign God who demands perfection. Now, that's what's got him so
down, but he has a great hope. Constantly distressed over this
sin, but a great hope, look at verse four. But, a wise man once said that
the gospel can be summed up with a three-letter word, it's called
but. But God, but. But there is forgiveness with
thee. Although, He is the Holy One
with this perfect sense of justice. And he keeps that book where
he marks all iniquities perfectly and he never misallocates. He
has found a way to remain just, to honor that perfect sense of
justice, and to forgive the sins of sinful men and women like
you and me, his elect, those everyone who Christ died for.
And the wisdom of that is found in the Lord Jesus Christ. And
I don't understand this. I don't understand how this works.
I simply know this. Because of this union we share
with the Lord Jesus Christ, our sins became his sins so much
that they really became his. He was really punished for them.
He was punished to the point of satisfaction to where those
sins are no more. We really are made the righteousness
of God in him so much that it really is mine. When the Father
looks at you and me, he sees the righteousness of Christ.
It really is yours. And you know what? That all fits
in his perfect sense of justice. And when he opens that book where
all iniquities are marked and nothing's ever misallocated,
when he opens it and he looks at one of the names of one of
the elect, you know what he sees? Nothing. Not a thing. Because the blood
of Christ washes away all the sins. And now there's nothing
in that book. And now the father can forgive
every member of the elect simply because there is nothing there
to forgive. That thing that separated us
from our gods, our sins, it's gone as far as the East is from
the West. That's his hope. He's a greatly distressed man.
He is a sinful man in the hands of a sovereign God who demands
perfection, but yet he has Christ. And in Christ he is complete
lacking, absolutely nothing. Now, a question I think we should
ask. Why in the world would the Lord
Jesus Christ do something for a sinful group of people like
you and me? Why would he be willing to die for his bride, for his
elect? Why would he be willing to do that? The first answer
is this, it's because of love. First John 4.10 says, herein
is love, not that we love God, but that he loved us and sent
his son to be a propitiation for our sins. The world says
love God and he will love you in return. It's not what the
gospel says. He loved us even when we were
dead in trespasses and sins. And because of that love, he
sent his son to die for us. That son, in love for his bride,
was willing to die for us. Love, that's where this whole
thing began, because he loved us. I'll give you another reason.
He died for us. He was willing to do this because
he promised his father he would. Now in that great covenant of
grace that was made before the worlds, whoever made, he went
to his father and he said, I'm taking all the responsibility.
Everything you require of them, you hold me accountable for.
Don't look at them, look at me. It's mine. Everything you desire,
everything you need, you look to me for. I'm taking it lock,
stock, and barrel 100%. And he is unable to do two things. He cannot lie. So when he promised
his father he must do it because he cannot lie, and he's incapable
of doing this, he cannot fail. So when he said, I will do it,
that means he was done, folks. He's a lamb slain from the foundation
of the world. That means it's over. It was over as soon as
he said it was over. That was it. Love, there's a reason, because
he said he would. He promised his father. I'll
give you the third one. I've never considered this before.
Look at verse four again. But there is forgiveness with
thee that thou mayest be feared. Now, what the Lord Jesus Christ
was doing on that cross, he was no doubt doing for his people.
He was ransoming his people back to his father. He was saving
them. He's not making salvation possible. He was saving them.
But first and foremost, what he was doing on that cross was
honoring his father. All the glory of God is seen
at the cross of the Lord Jesus Christ. You see the love of God,
the Lord Jesus Christ being willing to die for a bunch of people
who are literally shouting, crucify him, crucify him. That's the
love of God, the capacity to love people like that. You see
the justice of God that when the father found sin on his only
begotten son, he won't let him slide. If there's anybody he's
going to overlook, it's going to be his son himself. He won't
let him slide. He must punish sin. You see the
mercy of God, the forgiveness of God. There he is dying for
these sinful people. You see the sovereignty of God.
Everything that is happening is happening according to the
scriptures. It's like they opened the book and said, well, what do we do
next? We'll put some vinegar in his mouth. That's what the
book says to do. Everything that happened on that cross glorified
God. All the great attributes of God
are seen at the cross. And first and foremost, that's
what he was doing. He was honoring his father. When he was ransoming
us, his elect, back to the father, what he did, he insured worshipers
for himself and his father for the rest of time. Why would he
do this? That thou mayest be feared. Somebody's
gonna worship God, because God is worthy of worship. And we
do that here. We do it in part. We're doing
it perfectly. And one day, when we lay down
this old man, this sinful flesh, we're gonna do it perfectly.
And I said, or I heard, Chris Cunningham was at the Danville
Conference this year, and he said this, he asked a question,
he said, what's our role in salvation? We need it. And that's a good
answer. What do we do in salvation? We
need it. That's what we contribute, a need. But this, here's what
we're gonna do. This is our role in all this.
Folks, we're gonna worship God. That's what we're gonna do for
all eternity. We're gonna worship God because he's worthy of worship.
Somebody's gotta worship God because he's worthy of it. Why
would he do it? That thou mayest be feared. Father, somebody needs
to worship you, and I'm gonna get you some worshipers. Now, he's in this great distressed
state over his sin, over his iniquity, but he has this hope,
hope of forgiveness in Christ. How does he plan to live out
his days then? How is he going to walk through this world? Look
at verse five. I wait for the Lord. My soul
doth wait and in his word do I hope. How's he gonna walk through
this world? How's he gonna spend his time
sojourning here? He's gonna wait and he's gonna
hope. Now hope has everything to do
with rightly expecting what you have not yet experienced. and
your hope is only valid, it is only a good hope, if that thing
you are hoping for, it must come to pass. It definitely will,
there's no doubt about it. Now, I could go out and hope
that if I get a scratch-off ticket, I will win a million dollars
tonight. I have no control over that. Nothing says I will, I
probably won't, so it's not a good hope, right? It's a wish, it's
not a hope. Hope is only good if that thing you are hoping
for, it must come to pass. It sure as all get out. Now,
here's what I mean. I have a hope that the Lord Jesus Christ really
is my surety before the Father. I have a hope that He really
is my righteousness. I don't have another one. He
is my righteousness, that's my hope. My hope really is, and
this is real, this is not pie in the sky, this is not forensic,
this is real, that when He shed His precious blood and He cried,
it is finished, my sins were put away. That thing that separated
me from my God is gone, and now I can be honored in His presence,
in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. My hope is that on my
day, when the Lord looks at me and he says, well done, thou
good and faithful servant. Not that I've been good or faithful.
The Lord Jesus Christ is my goodness and my faithfulness. I have a
hope of all that. And you know what? I get to rightly
expect it because I fit the description of the person for whom it has
been promised to. For this is a faithful saying and worthy
of all acceptation that Jesus Christ came into this world to
save who? Of whom I am the chief. Sinners of whom I am the chief.
And you know what? Since I fit that description, I get to take
that promise home. And he is incapable of lying. And he's
incapable of failure, which means that will come to pass. Folks,
it's already done. It's over with. And so how do
we live our life? We wait. And we hope. And it's a good hope, because
that hope's already come to pass. It's done. And you know what,
folks, though? None of that is my experience. I don't have an
experience of righteousness. I don't have an experience of
holiness. I don't have an experience of glorification. All I know
about myself is I'm a sinner in great need of a sovereign
savior to do something for me. That's it. That's all I know.
So how do we live our lives? How are we going to do while
we're here? We wait and we hope. If you look at verse seven, this is what it looks like, this
waiting and this hoping. I'm sorry, where am I? Verse
six. My soul waiteth for the Lord
more than they that watch for the morning. I say more than
they that watch for the morning. Everyone in this room knows what
it's like to be sick, right? Have you ever noticed that your sickness
always gets worse at nighttime? So I'm not going to try not to
gross anybody out, but this serves a purpose, a story. So once a
year, we have a stomach bug that comes through our family. And
it hits the kids first, right? It hits one of the kids, and
then one of the kids gives it to the other kid, and then Jamie
gets it, and then I get it last, right? So when the first kid
gets it, I know that I got about two to three days, right? I'm
going to get it. It always hits at night, and all I do is I violently
vomit all night long. Like all night long, every hour
on the hour, I violently vomit uncontrollably. It's terrible.
It is literally one of the worst things I hated, right? So when
it hits, hits one of the kids, I know I got two to three days.
So the second or third day I wake up about midnight, pit my stomach.
I know it begins, right? Here we go. And every hour on
the hour I'm throwing up and I go up to our living room in
between puke sessions. I'm sitting on the couch and
I'll look out the window and there's a hill over there looking outside
the window, right? And I just keep from staring
at that hill because I know exactly when I'm going to stop throwing
up. I know when this sickness is going to subside. It's when I see the
sun crest up over top of that hill. As soon as I see that sun
crest over top that hill, I know I'm done, right? This is kind
of what life is like, right? We wait. We hope. We walk through
a valley of the shadow of death. But much of this life is uncomfortable.
It is full of trial. It is full of tribulation. It's
for a purpose, folks. It is the fire that consumes the dross,
it galvanizes the faith, it exposes it, it teaches us that this world
is not our home. Think how tightly we would cling
to this place and to this life if everything was just fine all
the time. No, it's all for a purpose. All things work together for
good to them that love God, to them who are the cold according
to his purpose. That is Romans 8.28, that is
a promise, it is in this book. It is a long road, but there
is light at the end of the tunnel. And to be quite honest, this
life is a vapor. Whether you are young, whether
you are old, whether you are middle-aged, it's going to be over just like
that. When we hit that light, we're going to meet our Maker,
our Creator, and our Savior face-to-face. We're going to be perfectly conformed
to His image. We're not going to know anything
about sin anymore. We won't even have an experience of it, and
we won't know what it was like, right? We won't know pain anymore. We
won't know fear anymore. Every tear's gonna be wiped away.
Everything's gonna be fine. And all we're gonna know, we're
here because of him. That's a long road. Wait and
hope. Now, He is greatly distressed, but
in this great distress, he has a great hope, and he wants his
brethren. He wants people that are just like him, people who
are greatly distressed over their sin. He wants them to have this
same hope. Look at verse seven. Let Israel
hope in the Lord, for with the Lord there is mercy, and with
him is plenteous redemption. And don't miss this last part.
This is beautiful. And he, what's the next word? shall redeem Israel
from all his iniquities. Not that he will make salvation
possible for Israel, he shall, it's done, it's over with. And
so the question is, am I Israel? He's using typical language here,
let Israel hope in the Lord. He's talking about election here.
Now I wanna be, every opportunity I preach, I wanna be emphatic
about these things. Number one, God does not love old men. Lord
Jesus Christ did not die for all men. Because if that's the
case, and men are in hell right now that God loved and the Lord
Jesus Christ died for, that means that the love of God is useless
and the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ is useless. And
I assure you they are not. God loves a particular people.
Christ died for a particular people. They're called the elect.
And they are typified in the Old Testament by this nation,
Israel. I want you to consider this for
a moment. There was Israel and there was Egypt. Lord plagued
one of them with plagues. He drowned most of them in a
sea and he led others on dry ground along that sea, safe on
the other shore. Who was he for? Was he for Egypt
or was he against them? He's against Egypt. Was he for
Israel or was he against Israel? He was for Israel, right? Two
men met on a battlefield, David and Goliath, Israel and the Philistines.
Who emerged victorious? Was it because David was great?
He was for Israel. He was against the Philistines.
That's the way it is. He is for a people, and they're
called Israel. Turn to the Scripture. Go to
Philippians 3. He says, He shall redeem Israel.
You know what that tells me? My only question here is, am
I Israel? Am I one of these people that he shall redeem? Because
if I am, everything is fine. It's all done. There's nothing
to do. I get to rest. Am I Israel? Philippians 3, verse 3, Paul says, for we are the circumcision. How could you tell a Jew in the
Old Testament? What was his mark? What was his sign? He was circumcised,
right? This is what Paul's saying. This
is the spiritual Israel. This is a spiritual circumcision,
the circumcision of the heart. We are the circumcision. Go on
reading. Three markers, which worship God in the spirit. It's
the first thing circumcision does. And rejoice in Christ Jesus. That's the second thing. And
have no confidence in the flesh. That's the third thing. Three
markers of true Israel. Worship God in the spirit. When
I consider this, I don't know if I've ever actually considered,
what does it mean to worship God? What's the definition? What does
it mean to worship God? I think I know. I want you to
turn over here to Matthew chapter eight. You'll remember this man. He's
been preaching to you several times. He's a leper that came
to Christ. Every time I've looked at this
story and this man who came to the Lord Jesus Christ, this leper,
I've always seen it as a type of a man coming to Christ in
faith. And it is, absolutely is. Make no mistake, but I wanna
show you something. Matthew chapter eight, look at verse two. And behold, there came a leper
and, what's that word? Worshipped him, saying, Lord,
if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. This is what worship
looks like, folks. This is how a man worships God.
And I'll give you three markers here. I'm going to give you three
things. Number one, this man had an awe-inspired reverence
for the Lord's character outside whether the Lord was going to
do something for him or not. When you read Luke's account of this,
it's the first thing before he said a word, before the Lord
said a word to him, he simply came there and Luke says the
first thing he did is he fell on his face. took his rightful
spot in the dirt before a holy and sovereign God who demands
perfect justice as a sinner. He fell right where he belonged,
right down at the bottom. And he just reverenced the Lord's
person for who He is. Now, a couple of things here.
Number one, this is the only time a man will worship. This
is where it will begin, and this is where it will end. Once he
finds He is in the hands of a sovereign. As long as you're dealing with
a God that you can manipulate, a God that you can do something to,
and he has to bend to your will in some way, you'll never worship
him. Until you're in the hands of a sovereign, and he's gonna
do with you as he sees fit, and whatever he does is right, that's
when you're gonna worship. That's when you're gonna find
yourself down in the dirt, and not a second before. There's another place
this awe-inspired reverence comes from. And I got to thinking about
this. What is it I love about him so much? What is the thing
that is so great? That he is nothing like me. This is the
one, he is so just and so perfect in his character that when sin
was found on himself, right? Him and his father are one, we're
dealing with one God, he's three individual people, but this is
one God. When sin was found on himself, he's not gonna let himself
slide, right? That's how just he is. Now if there's someone
you're willing to make an exception for, who's it gonna be? Me, right? If I'm looking to make an exception
for somebody, me, he's not gonna let himself slide, right? This
one is sovereign, he's in absolute control all the time, but yet
he's approachable. This one with this perfect sense
of justice, this holy one, he tells sinners, come here, come
here, don't be afraid. Nope, sit down, let's eat. Sit
down right here. He is nothing like me. He's never
been jealous of his brother's prosperity. He's never been taken
apart with his world. He's nothing like me. Isn't that
just worthy worship right there? Shouldn't we just get on our
face and say, great, whatever you do, great. Expand it. Second thing is, he took sides
with the Lord, whatever his will was. He said, Lord, if thou wilt,
if you're willing, you don't owe me a thing. I'm a leper. That's my business. You ain't
got nothing to do with that. I'm a sinner. That's my business.
He had nothing to do with that. I did the sinning. You want to
blame Adam all you want, blame the sovereignty of God. You want
to go down that road, go ahead, but it's my fault. I did it.
You did it. It's my problem, right? And whether
you do anything for me or not, you don't owe me anything. It's
gotta be up to you. Ain't my will, it's your will.
Your will be done. This is the third thing, though.
Worship can't be seen outside this. He was in complete and
utter dependence on the Lord Jesus Christ to make him clean.
Lord, if thou wilt, you can. I don't know whether you're willing.
Your person is great and glorious, whatever it is you do, but you
know what? The only way I'm ever gonna be clean, if you cleanse
me. What is so great about this, this is what the Lord says to
every sinner that comes in this way. He says, I will. I've always
been willing. In fact, I purpose this right
here. I've always been willing. Be thou clean. That's what he
says to every, that's what it means to worship God in the spirit.
First marker of the circumcision. Two, he says, we worship God
in the spirit and we rejoice in Christ Jesus. We rejoice in
his character. Yes. we rejoice in the way He saves
sinners. He does it by grace. Aren't you thankful we're saved
by grace? This is where He does all the
work, lock, stock, and barrel. Every bit of salvation is dependent
upon Him, and none of it is up to me. You know the only person
who's gonna appreciate that and gonna love that? Somebody who
needs it, a sinner. If you're a sinner, you love
it that way. You can't have it any other way, because if salvation
is some way dependent on something I do, I will be lost forever. Now, what is interesting about
that is, even to the natural man, because the natural man
has a sense of laziness, that is somewhat appealing, right?
He says, well, tell me I don't have to do anything. Yeah, sign
me up. Grace sounds decent, you know, fine, whatever. Here's
what's gonna get him every time, right? Who's gonna get the glory? Now, we love, we rejoice in this
person, we rejoice that he's saved by grace, that he does
all the work. We rejoice that he gets all the glory. Now, if
I'm to be saved by Him, if you're to be saved by Him, we will be
trophies of His power and His grace. We're gonna be worshipers,
not the worshiped, the worshipers. That's what we're gonna do, right?
We love it that way. We love Him getting all the glory.
Why? Because He deserves it. He should get all that glory.
But my pastor had said something recently, and it was probably
one of the most honest statements I've ever heard, and I love it.
I'm gonna repeat it as often as I can. We love Him getting all
the glory because He deserves it. We also love Him getting
all the glory because if He doesn't, and some glory's supposed to
go to me, that means there's something I have to do. If salvation
is some way dependent on what I do, I will not be safe, so
I need him to get all that glory. Where's that glory need to go?
That way, to that man right there. I'm just the trophy. I'm the
trophy of his power and his grace. I'm the bride. Go talk to the
husband over there. That's the one who gets all the glory. Can
you say that? You enjoy the fact that he gets all the glory in
your salvation. Worshiping God in the spirit. rejoicing in Christ
Jesus. And the last one, the third marker,
and we have no confidence in the flesh. Now Paul said it this
way, he said in Romans 7, for I know that in me that is in
my flesh dwelleth no good thing. Now folks, if you worship God
in the spirit and you rejoice in Christ Jesus and you have
no confidence in the flesh, I want you to know something, that means
you're Israel. That means you were loved by God before the
foundations of the world were ever built. You've been in eternal
union with the Lord Jesus Christ this entire time, before you
ever knew it, right? And he shall redeem Israel. You
know what that means? He already did. Just rest, just
trust the Lord Jesus Christ. It's already done. It's been
a blessing to be with you through this.
