John chapter 1. I hope tonight we're able to see
Him. We would see Jesus, as those
people asked Philip. In John chapter 1, we're going
to be looking at verses 35 through 42, I want to see first John's outline.
John the Baptist's outline. Whenever a preacher gets up to
preach, we normally have outlines. We have points we want to make.
The message is always the same. That never changes. But here's John the Baptist's
outline. He witnessed that he was nothing. He told he was nothing
and that Christ is all. That this man, Jesus of Nazareth,
was God in human flesh. He was the Messiah, the Lamb
of God, and all of mankind was to behold Him. All flesh is grass. Christ is all. Behold Him. Behold Him. Hear John speaking
of himself in verse 15, John 1 verse 15. And John bear witness
of Him and cried Did he cry aloud? Did he weep? Yes. He yelled,
he pleaded, he whispered. Anything he could, because he
knew the Lord and needed it. He cried, saying, this was He
of whom I speak. This is Him. He that cometh after
me is preferred before me. for he was before me." It says
in verse 19, and this is the record of John when the Jews
sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, who art
thou? And he confessed and denied not, but confessed, I am not
the Christ. They asked him, what then? Art
thou of us? And he saith, I'm not. Art thou that prophet Moses
wrote of? Are you that prophet? He answered,
no. Then said they unto him, who
art thou that we may give answer to them that sent us? What sayest
thou of thyself? And he said, I'm the voice, I'm
just a voice of one crying in this cold, dark wilderness we
live in. Make straight the way of the
Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah. Verse 27, He it is who coming
after me is preferred before me, whose shoes latcheth. I am not worthy to unloose. This is he of whom I said, after
me cometh a man which is preferred before me, for he was before
me." Three times John tells us, after me, he comes after me,
but he's preferred before me because he was before me. He's
preferred before me. John's six months older. We remember
that, don't we? He was cousins with the Lord. Elizabeth, his mother, and Mary
were cousins. He was six months older. And culturally, I mentioned
this last Wednesday, but we need to get how important this is.
That was a big deal, John saying that he was older than the Lord
Jesus, but the Lord Jesus was preferred before John. That's
important. We take pride in anything, don't
we? I could be the ugliest pig in
the pen pen, or the prettiest pig in the pen pen. The Lord
told us in Exodus 13, "...sanctify unto me all the firstborn. Whatsoever
openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of
beast, it's mine." It's to me. It's mine. Turn over to Genesis
chapter 38. All those around within earshot
of John, this is what they'd known. These are just common
day practices for them. Genesis 38. We're going to see
the story here in more detail as the Lord lets us go through
Genesis on Sunday evenings. But Judah and Tamarrah, things
come to pass in the Lord's providence that Judah and Tamarrah meant
for evil. They were in the wrong, boldly
in the wrong. But God meant it for good. And
now Judah and Tamar, they're about to have twins. They're
going to have some babies. It says in verse 27, Genesis
38, 27. And it came to pass in the time
of her travail that, behold, twins were in her womb. And it
came to pass when she travailed that one put out his hand. That's
the firstborn. And the midwife took and bound
up his hand with scarlet thread, saying, this came out first.
This is the firstborn. Verse 29, And it came to pass,
as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out.
And she said, How hast thou broken forth? How did you do that? This breach be upon thee. Therefore,
his name was called Perez. That means breacher. The breaker. Violation. The violation. And after he came out, his brother
that had the scarlet thread upon his hand, and his name was called
Zarah. That means the rising of light.
I'll be excited when we get to this. It might be a year or more
before we can get to chapter 38. But Zarah, this rising light,
he was before. He was first. And then his brother,
his kin, came out seemingly first. Seemingly first. Anybody else
it would have known no different if it wasn't for the proof. If
it wasn't for that scarlet cord tied on him. And he was the violator. This one that seemingly first
was the violator. But the proof of the servant,
the witness of an unnamed servant, was who the true firstborn was. What did that midwife say? That
ain't him. Violation. Right there is the lie. That's
what the servant did, didn't it? That's the same with all
the Lord's witnesses. Not just His apostles, not just
His prophets, not just His disciples, His preachers, His teachers,
every one of His children. We declare who the firstborn
is, who gets the glory. Now back in our text from John
1, John's telling these Pharisees that Christ is the firstborn. He's the firstborn among many
brethren. He's the elect of God. Christ was before the violation.
before Phares, Adam's seed, you and I. He was before. Before the foundation of the
world. There at the end of verse 15, it says, for He was before
me. How? Why is that? Because Christ
is God in human flesh. In the beginning was the Word,
the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was before this
creation. He's the Lamb of God. As we read,
the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world. Man's nothing. We're violators. We only deserve
death. We're deceivers. That's all we
are. He's the firstborn. He's God. John was baptized in that River
Jordan. The River Jordan there, it always
represents death. When we cross the River Jordan,
we deserve to die. Like Naaman, we must be brought
down. We must be plunged into understanding
that. that we deserve death, what we've
earned, the wages that we've earned. We've got to be brought
low. We've got to be immersed in our hell-deserving sin, what
our guilt is, and then immersed in repentance, our turning from
ourselves and declaring we ain't nothing but unworthy to be our
own sacrifice. We have no merit. My blood can't
atone for nothing but that Christ died. We were buried with Him. We conquered death in Him because
He did it. He conquered death. He died.
He lived for us. He died for us. He rose for us.
And we proclaim that all of our hope and all of our life is in
Him. That's why we have Believer's
Baptism. We were buried with Him. We died. We lived in Him.
We died with Him. We were buried with Him. We rose
again with Him. We're in Him. The preferred one. The true firstborn. That one that all preeminence
is in. It's Him. The Holy Spirit through
the Apostle John writes in verse 8, John 1.8, and says, He was
not that light, but was sent to bear witness of that light. What did John bear witness of?
That means he told what he'd seen. He told what he'd heard.
He told what he knew, what he'd been taught, what he'd felt,
what he'd experienced. He simply told of his first-hand
experience. He didn't conjure up stories.
He didn't elaborate. He didn't put a lot of bells
and whistles on it. He told what he knew. He witnessed. What did
he witness? First off, all life, physical,
spiritual, everything, it's sustained by Christ, God that sustains
all things. Look here in verse 9. That was
the true light which lighteth every man that cometh into the
world. He also told God's a creator of all things. He's a sustainer
of all things, but He's the one that created everything He sustains.
He's a God of creation. Look at verse 10. He was in the
world and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him
not. He's the creator of the new spirit
in His people. He's the God of salvation. God
of creation. He sustains all things. God of
providence. He's the God of salvation. Look at verse 12. But as many
as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of
God, even to them that believe on His name, which were born
not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will
of man, but of God. How are we going to know He's
the firstborn? We've got to be born of God. We've got to be taught,
don't we? We've got to be given eyes to see. We've got to be
given ears to hear. As a providence, the God of providence, it was
the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God to send Himself as a Lamb,
as the propitiation, as that acceptable, bloody sacrifice. It pleased Him to do so. Verse
14, And the Word, Christ the Word, the firstborn, the preeminent
One, was made flesh and dwelt among us. And we beheld His glory,
the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace
and truth. What grace? That's violations. Penalties. That's a good term. God gave
His Son. He came Himself as the Lamb for
us. What truth! What a witness! I
want to tell folks, our Savior and Lord is the God-Man. He's not just a man. He's not
just a really good guy. He's not a really good teacher. He is God and He is man. That's
who our representative is, the Holy God. John said later in
his life, if we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is
greater. Three knuckleheads in one room,
and you'll get four different views or something, won't you?
I thought that truck was blue. I think it probably was blue,
wouldn't it? We'll agree anything. God's witness is greater. For
this is the witness of God, which He has testified of His Son. That's who He testified of. Look
at verse 17. For the law... That's death.
That's the Jordan. Killed every one of us. That
slew us. For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth
came by Jesus Christ. This One who is grace, who is
giving of Himself, this One who is the truth, this One who is
God Almighty in human flesh, the Savior of His people, the
King of kings, the Lord of lords. John the Baptist says, behold
Him. All of us violators. Can't do nothing, won't do nothing,
don't want to do nothing. He came to us. He came in our
midst. He came in our presence. And
John says, behold Him. We ain't nothing. He's the firstborn. Behold Him. Here's the preferred
one. Look at verse 29. The next day John seeth Jesus
coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh
away the sin of the world." This one I've been preaching to you.
This one I've been telling you about. The one I spoke of. Here He is.
Right here. That's Him. Behold Him. Behold
Him. How do we behold the Lord? Behold
means to look on with our eyes, of course, but it also means
to know. Know Christ. Be aware of. Be conscious of. Tell about. You know, behold
means tell about. To gaze in wonder. What a God. Amazed. To attend to. Behold means to serve. We behold
Him, we serve Him. We looked at the firstborn. John
said He's the firstborn. He says He's the Lamb. He's the
Lamb of God. Culturally, just as that firstborn
This was a big deal. Everyone standing there, this
was in the forefront of their minds. They knew exactly what
that meant. Like I've said about Christ saving
the Gentiles, that's what the word world means here. He was telling us Pharisees,
there's the one that's going to save Gentiles. What an insult,
isn't it? Him being our high priest. Us
Gentiles have a high priest. We don't daily consider those
things, and we don't daily consider that He's the Lamb of God either. Natural man hears Lamb, and they
might think, well, that's got something to do with the Bible.
They burnt some things, and they ate some things before midnight
maybe, before the sun went down. I think in Revelations it says
that the lambs won't get all the glory that heavens and angels
won't sing to them. But these people, they saw this
all the time that John's talking to. That's the spotless lamb.
You take a yearling and you pull that thing out and you give it
14 days. Nothing touches it. Nothing's around it. You watch
it. Make sure it's perfect. And then it was slain. When was
the last time you all butchered a lamb? They did this every day. How do you think they ate dinner?
They butchered the lamb. There was blood. People saw we
have blood on the inside of living things, didn't they? Cut something's
throat and watch arterial bleeding. See that thing squirting all
over? You smell that iron? They'd take that hyssop mixed
with water and the blood and throw it on the doors, wouldn't
they? That hyssop, can't hold on to it. Blood's slippery, isn't
it? And he said, that's the lamb of God. That's God's lamb. Right
there. They knew exactly what that meant. Is this witnessing, this preaching,
man's nothing, Christ is the firstborn, there He is, behold
Him, serve Him, honor Him, stand in amazement at Him. Is that
effectual? What's the result of that? Say,
behold the Lamb, declared that all flesh is grass, and the only
one that deserves any glory is that Holy One of Israel. Many
will say, surely, standing on your hind two legs and abasing
man and exalting Christ couldn't be enough. It's all around us,
isn't it? Everywhere you turn. Don't we
have to have some programs? Don't we maybe have some leadership
structure or a discipleship training curriculum? Don't we have to
take people through some classes before they can do this? It says
in verse 35, again the next day after John stood, and two of
his disciples, they stood with him, and looking upon Jesus as
He walked, He saith, Behold the Lamb of God. They stood, not
in pride, not in vainglory. They stood in respect. When you
meet another believer, you stand up. When you meet someone of
status, if a president or a politician or a governor or something like
that walked in this room, we'd stand up, wouldn't we? Why? Out of respect.
That's respectful. But men and women, they also
stand out of eagerness, don't they? Out of excitement. If I was waiting to meet a brother
down at the airport, I've never seen him, and one of y'all knew
him. And you told me what they looked like, you told me what
they was like, and I'm excited to see him. And you say, there
he is. Well, I'd get on my tippy-toes.
I'd get as tall as I could, wouldn't I? And wiggle my head around
other people's heads. Where is he? I want to see him.
I'll get my eyes on him. I need to see that person. These
men needed to see. John and two of his disciples,
he was their teacher. They didn't worship John. He
taught them. He preached to them. They stood
and looked upon Jesus. They beheld the Lord of Glory
walking right to them. John said, there He is. That's
Him. These two disciples, they heard
the voice of their Lord and they followed Him. They followed Him.
They heard Him and they followed Him. Look here at verse 37. John
1, 37. And the two disciples heard him
speak, and they followed Jesus. Did they hear John speak, saying,
Behold the Lamb of God? Of course they did. Yeah, they
stayed right there next to him. The Word of the Lord doesn't return
to him void, does it? They heard the preacher that he had sent
to them in power tell them who Christ was, but more than that,
God was in person. He was in the flesh right next
to them. In our day, I tell you to behold the Lamb of God. And
He has to come to you individually. He has to reveal Himself. He
has to speak to you through His Word. But in this case, He was
there in person. And they heard Him. The Lord
said, John, tell My sheep, hear My voice. I know them and they
follow Me. These two men, Andrew and John,
they heard the voice of Christ. They beheld Him. They knew Him
a person. A person. Not a what. Not a doctrine. Not a theological standpoint.
Not some good points to make good sense. It was a person.
And they followed Him. They followed Him. They were
not told heresies. Like, well, you just say this
prayer and God's just waiting to save you. Or you gotta do
this. Or you gotta act this way. They
heard the voice of the Lord Jesus Christ They were His. He knew them. And they followed
Him. That's all there was. They didn't
request permission to follow Him, did they? Nothing. They didn't speak. They were silenced in their sin.
They were shut up to sin. And they just followed. He's
going that way. I'm going that way too. Nothing
made John the Baptist happier. Did you know that? They turned away from him and
they followed the Lord. They didn't say goodbye, John.
It wasn't all they'd leave behind. What if they had a brand new
pair of shoes waiting at the store to get picked up? I bet they
had a fresh bag of groceries. What if they had a good job?
They followed the Lord. Straightway, they followed Him.
John didn't have a desire for people to follow him, but to
behold Christ, to hear Him, and to follow Him. It says in verse
38, Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto
them, What seek ye? What was that a question? What
seek ye? What do I seek? What do you seek? Many sought to have their bellies
filled, didn't they? Over in John 6, the Lord told
them some hearts. Let's turn and look at John chapter
6, just a couple pages. Many want their bellies filled.
Many want benefits. People want help. They want physical
healing. They want emotional healing.
They want warm fuzzies. Here in John 6 verse 60, It says, "'Many therefore of
His disciples, when they had heard this, said, "'This is a
hard saying. Who could hear it?' And Jesus knew in Himself that
His disciples murmured at it. He said unto them, "'Does this
offend you? "'What and if ye shall see the Son of Man ascend
up to where He was before? "'It is the Spirit that quickeneth. "'The flesh profiteth nothing. "'The words that I speak unto
you, they are Spirit and they are life. "'But there are some
of you that believed not. For Jesus knew from the beginning
who they were that would believe not and who should betray Him.
And He said, Therefore said I unto you that no man can come unto
Me except it were given unto him of My Father. From that time
many of His disciples went back and walked no more with Him."
They walked away. They were there for a season.
Boy, this is handy. Why do I go to church? My mom
and dad went to church. What we do every Wednesday? You
got swim practice? Eh, we go to church. I never
played a basketball game on Wednesday. I go to church, that's what it
is. Is that why I'm here? Because it's routine? It's just our habit? We're habitual creatures? Is
it a good thing to do? That's what good, upstanding,
clean people do. They go to church, don't they?
So they can talk to their other friends about where they go to
church. Many people, Saturday night, you do something bad,
you've got to do something good Sunday morning. Don't you? What
seek ye? He says in verse 67, John 6,
67, And Jesus said unto the twelve, He didn't go out in the parking
lot and beg them. Oh, what can we do? Can we do things different,
keep you happy? Pretty please? Sugar on top? You can go away also. They left. You going to go? And Simon Peter
answered and said, Lord, to whom? To whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal
life. And we believe and are sure that Thou art that Christ,
the Son of the living God, Your God. We know You. Who can we go to? Who can we
go to? That wasn't what Andrew and John
saw as the filling of the bellies and all the benefits and the
healings and all those things, the miracles, was it? Back in
our text there, here's what they said. We have beheld you. We've heard your voice. We are
following you and we want to know where you will be because
that is where we want to be. We want to be where you are.
When you eat, we'll eat. When you sleep, we'll sleep.
Because wherever you are, that's heaven. That's the firmament,
isn't it? Capital H heaven. We want to
be with the person, with you. Turn over to Ruth chapter 1. Ruth chapter 1. We see the same
thing pictured here in Ruth and Naomi. Naomi's husband had died.
They moved down to Moab where the economy was good. They did
a good job. But she still had two boys that were grown after
her husband died. They could take care of her. And then the
boys died. And it was just her and her two
daughters-in-law in Moab in a foreign land. And Naomi told them, she
said, I'm going to go to my people back in Judah. I've heard the
Lord gave bread there. I love you two girls. I hope
the Lord deals kindly to you, same as He's, you've been kind
to me. I hope He gives you rest. I hope
He gives you new husbands and they take good care of you and
you all have a wonderful life together. I'm leaving. Verse
14, Ruth 1, verse 14. And they lifted up their voice
and wept again. There was tears. There was emotions,
weren't there? And Orpah kissed her mother-in-law.
But Ruth claved unto her. Orpah loved her. Orpah cared
for her. Orpah had a strong emotional bond with her. But Ruth claved
to her. These two women knew Naomi a
long time. They were family. And it seemed that Orpah was
doing what Naomi told her, wasn't it? She was just listening, honoring
her. But Ruth loved her. That's the difference. Verse
15. And she said, Behold, thy sister-in-law
has gone back to her people, and unto her gods return thou
after thy sister-in-law." Orpah's gone. Do what she did. Verse
16, and Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee. Don't ask
me to go away. Don't ask me if I'm going to
leave too. Or to return from following.
or to return from following after Thee. For where Thou goest, I
will go, and where Thou lodgest, I will lodge. Thy people shall
be My people, and Thy God My God. Wherever Thou diest, I will
die, and there will I be buried. The Lord do so to Me, and more
also if I, but if aught but death part Thee and Me." If anything
other than death parts us. When she saw that she was steadfastly
minded to go with her, then she left speaking unto her. That's what we saw happening
here. Why are you here? What seek ye? You. Lord, you. Our Savior, our God,
our Lord, our King. And back in our text, Andrew
and John, they beheld themselves, their sin, those wages that that
sin had earned, that Jordan, that death. But the Lord, His
providence, Through His creation, He revealed Himself to them. They heard His voice. He came
to them. He spoke to them. They beheld
Him and they followed Him and they wanted to be in His presence
no matter what. It says in verse 38, Then Jesus
turned and saw them following and saith unto them, What seek
ye? And they said unto him, Rabbi,
which is to say, being interpreted, Master, not talking down to him
as those others did, not calling him Jesus, and we're a higher
teacher. You're a bachelor level teacher
and I'm a PhD level teacher. They meant you're the one who
taught us this. They said unto him, Rabbi, which is to say,
being interpreted, Master, where dwellest thou? Where are you
going to be? Where is your word proclaimed?
That's where I'm going to go. I seek to be where you dwell.
David sang about this. He said, One thing have I desired
of the Lord that I will seek after that I may dwell in the
house of the Lord all the days of my life to behold the beauty
of the Lord and to inquire in His temple. I want to be with
Him. I want Him to teach me things.
I want to ask Him things. I want to learn of Him. I want
to know Him, love Him more. I want to be with Him all my
days. I don't want there to be a day without Him. Where dwellest
thou? That could be asked by a friend
or a foe, couldn't it? If the Pharisees asked that, they'd
be needing an address so they could issue a search warrant.
They'd be coming after Him, wouldn't they? How did these two mean
it? God knows the hearts of men,
doesn't He? He knows the hearts and minds of every man, woman,
and child who's ever walked the face of this earth. And that's
that master where you dwell. I ask myself, am I by the River
Jordan? Am I by death? Are you by death? Death close? Have you been given
ears to hear that all mankind is nothing but grass? Our best
righteousness are filthy rags. We are nothing but sin. But God
provided Himself as the Lamb, the sacrifice that He accepts.
What He demands, He provides. What He requires, He provides.
Have you been given eyes to behold Him? Not yourself. The Person of our salvation.
As Ruth loved Naomi and clung to her, do you entreat the Lord,
don't leave me to myself. Don't leave me here in my way.
I've gotten this wilderness. Lord, I want to stay with You.
Those that desire Christ, that desire grace and truth, Who He
is. Those that desire mercy. And
that's what He delights to show it. Those that need washed of
their sins in the Lamb's blood. Mercy-beggars. They're told to
come. Did you know that? Look here
in verse 39. And He saith unto them, Come
and see. Two sinners asked the Almighty
God in person, where do you dwell? And He said, come on. He didn't
squish them like an ant in a driveway. He said, come and see. I'll show
you. They came and saw where He dwelt and abode with Him that
day. For it was about the tenth hour.
It was getting late in the evening. And they stayed that evening
with Him. Can you imagine? getting to spend a few hours
before bedtime with the Lord. They came. They saw. Our Master
said, All that the Father giveth me shall come to me, and him
that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. He didn't say,
It's bedtime. You go find you a place to stay.
Get out of here. He stayed with him, didn't he?
He said, Matthew, Lev, come unto me. All you that labor and are
heavy laden, I'll give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Learn
of Me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and ye shall find rest
unto your souls." You ain't just gonna lay down to bed. There's
eternal rest in Him. Coming to Him. Seeing Him. Learning of Him. Come where He
is and rest, and then stay. Stay. It said in John 14, if
a man love Me, he will keep My words, and My Father will love
him, and We will come unto him, and make Our abode with him.
These two men, they abode with Him for three years here on this
earth. And right now, Andrew and John's
abiding with Him. Isn't that an eternal hope? This ain't temporary. This ain't
just a thousand years. Forever. Forever. He said, come
on. Lord, where are you? I want to
be where you are. Come on. Come and see. If you have loved
Him, If you followed Him, it's because He first loved you and
because He sought you first. John said, We love Him because
He first loved us. The Lord told us in Luke 19,
For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which is
lost. It's hard to find lost folks.
Folks ain't never been lost. Folks ain't never been blind.
They've just been kind of dim-eyed. They got poked in the eye. They
ain't never been dead. They've been wounded. I've never
been mortally ill. I just kind of had the flu a
little bit one time. I've never been lost. We're lost. A man doesn't need to be saved,
he needs to be lost. That would do us better, wouldn't it? I
want to get people lost. I want to get them saved. You
can do that with children and tinker toys and tactics and everything
else. We need to be lost. We might
behold Him if we are. He'll come to us. that one that's worthy of beholding,
worthy of following, worthy of worshiping. John the Baptist
had beheld the Lord. He'd been told the Lord. He had
heard His voice. He followed Him. And that is the witness
that He gave. Nothing but grace and truth.
All mankind ain't nothing but sin. That is graceful. And that's
true. It's true. But for somebody to
actually hear that, that's nice. You say, that's mean, Kevin.
Y'all say nice things. That is me being nice. Tell me
the truth. We need to know that, don't we?
That's what John preached. So it was with Andrew and John,
the Apostle John, and every other child of God. We don't all preach. We don't all serve in the same
capacity. But when we're on that witness
stand of life, we tell of the person and the work of Christ
alone and not man. Not our decisions, not our will,
not our works, Him. It says in verse 40, that's what
Andrew and John did. One of the two which heard John
speak and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. He first
findeth his own brother Simon, first thing he did, and saith
unto him, We found the Messiah, which is being interpreted the
Christ. We've been waiting on this Messiah since Eve. That's all they'd heard about,
like that lamb, like the firstborn, like everything else that's so
forefront of their mind. Simon, we found him. It says
in verse 42, and he brought him to Jesus. You think Andrew loved Simon?
He knew the Lord. He abode with the Lord. And he
went to his brother and said, you come with me. He brought
him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him and
said, Simon, the son of Jonah, thou shalt be called Cephas,
a stone. Your name is Peter. He never
did call Peter, Peter much, did he? He always called him Simon.
You ain't going to forget about that river. You ain't going to
forget about where the Lord found us, what we are by our nature.
We're His. We abide with Him. We seek Him.
We follow Him. We behold Him. We're still in
this body of death, ain't we? Oh, to be brought to Jesus, the
Messiah, the Christ, one more time. He's come to us. He's drew
us near to Him, and that's our desire, isn't it? Lord, where
are you? That's where I want to be. I
want to be there with you, right next to you, hug up next to you.
That's why we're here. That's why we're here tonight,
to declare to all that will listen man's unworthiness and the worthiness
across the land, the God man. What seek ye? Behold the Lamb
of God. There he is. That's pretty good.
