That's His name, isn't it? One
sitting there thinking, how ashamed I am that I'm not more grateful
for what He did. Read that, Isaiah 53, without
tears, without great sorrow and great gratitude. Genesis 22. It took the blood of Christ to
forgive us our ingratitude. Genesis 22, an old story most
of you know. Maybe someone has heard this. I envy those who haven't. We've looked at this many times
together, over a dozen or more times. But this is one way that
you know the Gospel is Gospel. It never gets old. It gets better. It gets better. Genesis 22. Now, this is a real
story of a real man who the Living Lord called, chose, loved, revealed
Himself to and tried Him, tried His faith. Faith will be tried.
This is a real story. And every single true child of
God, loved by Him, chosen by Him, called by Him, follows Him,
believes Him, will be tried in the same manner. Not to the same
degree, but the same way. We looked this morning at our
Lord saying, if any man come after me and hate not his father
and mother and husband and wife, son or daughter, his own life
cannot be my disciple. And what it is, is the Lord's going to prove His
people. He's going to try them. He's
going to try the faith that He gives. It's not something they
produced. Flesh won't do this. No way you would sacrifice your
child for anybody. You wouldn't do it. But now,
the love of God is in you. Always. Every single person. And you see, it's a choice. But it's not a choice we actually
make. It's something God puts in us
Have no choice. You understand what I'm saying?
It's not an act of the human will, it's an act of God, a supernatural
act of God, an amazing, miraculous act of God to put in a human
being, a love for God, for His Son, for His truth, over and
above human love that gives you no choice. If given a choice
between flesh and blood and the Lord, there's no choice. And every child of God is going
to be tried. A real story, Abraham, verses
1 and 2. It came to pass after these things
that God did tempt Abraham. After what thing? Oh my, God
tried him greatly, didn't He? The first way He called him was
He called him out of his father's house. He had to leave his father,
leave his family, sell his home to be a stranger in a pilgrim. And then his father died. He lost his father. He left his
father's religion, which was probably something like Islam
was. He left his father's religion. All right, that was hard enough.
He left his father and home and family, all that, to be a stranger
in a pilgrim. He had a nephew named Lot. He
loved dearly. He had no children. He had a
nephew that he loved like a son, okay? And there was strife, and
they had to separate. Lot said, I'm going to Sodom.
Abraham said, I'm not going down there. I can't live there. And
they separated. That was a great trial. Great
trial. Then he heard that Lot was taken
captive by war. He had to go after him and fight
fights and battle and all that. Get Lot out of there. And then
God told him, I'm going to destroy his son. I'm going to destroy
everybody in there. And his nephew was there. And the Lord pleaded
with him. Trial after trial after trial. Then the Lord told him
he was going to have a son. I'm going to give you a son.
I'm going to give you a son. And Abraham believed God. And
you know what all that meant. Well, years went by, 15 years
went by, and no son. So he had an illegitimate son.
And he loved that boy, Ishmael. He loved that son. He loved him.
When he was 20, about 28 years old, that's how
old Ishmael was, living at home, God said, he's got to go. Kick
him out. What did he do? He kicked him
out. Tough. Alright, he had another
son. A real son. He loved his only
son. Remember God called him his only
son. Look at this. Verse 2. Take now
thy son, thy only son, Isaac, whom thou lovest. and get thee into the land of
Moriah and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of
the mountains, which I will tell thee of." And then God was silent
for three days. He said, nothing more. Take your son, your only son,
that you love and kill him to me. Abraham didn't ask why. God didn't explain why. Burn
his body. Burn off. It says that six times.
Burn off. Burn off. Burn off. Burn off. Why burn off? I'll tell you in
a minute. Was this a trial? After these
things, the worst of all. The hardest of all. How do you
know Abraham believed God? Verse 3, he rose up early. He rose up early in the morning,
saddled his ass, took his young men with him, two of his young
men with him, Isaac, his son, split the wood, knowing he was
going to burn his son's body with that wood. He rose up and
went to the place which God had told him. Now, it's easy to say, I believe
it. And faith is not saying it, it's
doing it. James wrote a whole book, and
he said in that book, was not Abraham justified? Wasn't it clear that Abraham
really believed God when he offered up his son? Proof, God said so. Now I know you, pyramid. Now take thy son. All of God's
people are made willing in the day of His power They're given
this life from above, this true faith, the faith of God. And
they may not be called upon to give up their flesh and blood,
but they will be willing. They will be willing. God takes,
Son, He takes the children of unbelievers. He doesn't. He said,
I'll kill them. But He does it to His people
as a trial of their faith so that they will witness a good
testimony. Takes their spouses and loved
ones and as a witness unto Him to tell the world God did this.
The Lord gave, the Lord taketh away. That's how we bear witness
of Him. That's how we show faith. But that was not a choice. That's not a choice if God takes
something. And it's tough. And many in here have gone through
that. It's a tough, tough trial. Maybe
the toughest. But it was not a choice. God didn't offer a
choice. He didn't give a choice. But here He says, you take that
son and you offer him. See there? A big difference.
Now we're going to say, Who do you choose? Him or me? Take thy soul. Well, you remember
we read that in Luke 14. Amen. Hate not. Now, I didn't
give this illustration. I'm going to give it to you.
The Lord's not telling us to hate people. But what he's saying
is the world's going to think you hate, that you don't love,
you don't have love for your family. If you choose your religion,
choose God over them, they're going to say, you don't love
your family. How could you love your family? Walter Rueber, back
in the sixties, five children, six month old baby, seven year
old son, daughter, five children working at a steel mill in Texas.
The Lord saved him, sold his house, quit his job, moved to
a hostile land, Yucatan, Mexico. Barely knew any of the language.
Took those five babies down there. His wife almost died. Before
he went, his father and mother and her father and mother said,
you can't possibly love your children and do that to them.
He said, you don't love your family taking them down there.
You can't do that to your family. How could you love them and take
them to that hostile place? Oh, he loved them all right.
He just loved God more. He said, I'm going to take my son.
I'm going to take all five of my sons and daughters. I'm going
to take them down there. And the Lord gave them to me.
And if the Lord takes them away, fine. I love them, yes, but I
love God, I love the truth, and I love His people, I love His
truth, and I want to preach it." And he did. You know what God
did? He said, Christ said, "...no man hath left father, or mother,
or husband, or wife, or son, or daughter for My sake. They
won't receive a hundredfold in this life, an eternal life."
God saved all five of Walter Hoover's children. And most of
their spouses, and most of their children. and made a preacher out of his
oldest son. Oh, what a preacher did he make
out of him. And his grandsons are preachers. Is God true to His Word? Yes,
He is. Yes, He is. Faith will be tried. And this kind of faith is known. That's not of man. That's of
God. Man wouldn't do that. God did. Everybody God I've preached to
does. All right, now that's not the story here. This story is
not about Abraham's great faith. This story is about Jesus Christ. This story is about God the Father
taking His only begotten well-beloved Son and actually killing Him. Our Lord said over in John 8,
I believe it was, He said, Your father Abraham rejoiced to see
my day. Christ said, Abraham rejoiced
to see my day. He said, He saw it and he was
glad. Abraham saw my day and he was
glad. When? When did Abraham? They
said, When did Abraham? He said, Do you know Abraham?
That's what they said to our Lord. Do you know Abraham? He
said, Before Abraham was, I am. Oh, Abraham saw his day. When
did he? Right here. Right here in this
story. He saw him. He saw his substitute. He saw the Lamb of God. He saw
the Christ of God dying in his stead in his room. He saw his
day. He was so glad. Saved his life. Saved his son's life. Alright, he rose up early in
the morning. Before dawn. When was Christ crucified? When
did God purpose all this thing of salvation? When did He do
it? Before the dawn of time. Earlier. Way back when. See, the days of a thousand years
and a thousand years of the day. Eternity passed. God purposed
this wonderful, great genius, Newton called it, stroke of genius,
called the Gospel. It's the guilt to crucify His
Son that we might live. In 2000, the lamb slain before
the foundation of the world, Abraham saddled an ass and took
two of his young men, claimed the wood, saddled an ass. Our
Lord purposed that His own son would ride into Jerusalem on
an ass. Everything is a picture of Christ.
Everything. Saddle the ass and clave the
wood. Oh, the preparations that were
made. Oh, the wisdom, the working, the preparation of God in the
gospel. Everything in creation is a picture
of it. Everything God created is a picture
of the work of salvation in Jesus Christ. Everything. God purposed
it that way. Everything. Every type, symbol,
shadow, person, place, and thing shows forth the gospel of the
glory of God's Son. Everything. And He did this before
the world began. This is going to show my Son.
Every jot and tittle is going to point to Christ the Christ.
What Abraham was doing, he was doing all for the sake of sacrificing
his son. Carefully. And our God did the same. Verse
4, so he went to this place. And on the third day, Abraham
lifted up his eyes and saw the place afar off. Saw the place
afar off. Hebrews 11 says that very thing.
That all of God's people persuaded and embraced the truth and saw
it afar off. Saw the day of Christ afar off. Nevertheless, he was near. And
they embraced. So did Abraham. So did Moses. So did Abel. So did Isaac. They
are far off. And were persuaded and embraced
the truth. Well, he took with him two young
men. Verse 3, two young men with him. And in verse 5, Abraham said
unto the two young men, abide ye here with us. You stay here. They came to Mount Moriah is
what it was. You know where Mount Moriah is?
Do you know where Mount Moriah is? Do you know we most believe
this exact place where Jesus Christ was crucified? The exact spot! Yes, sir. He took these two young men and
he told them when they came to Mount Moriah, verse 5, he said,
you young men abide here with the ass. I and the lad will go
yonder. We're going to go up on that
mountain and worship. I and the lad are going up on
that mountain and worship. Oh, stay with me. This is the
most glorious gospel message in all the Old Testament. Genesis
22. Psalm 22, by chance, is the psalm
of the cross. By purpose, Genesis 22. This is the cross of Christ. I and the Lamb will go yonder
upon the mountain and worship. And then we're going to come
again. We're going to come back. I and the Lamb. Come back. Brothers
and sisters, The greatest act of worship known
to man was what Jesus Christ did on Calvary tree to His Father. He worshipped God. Oh, did He worship God. And you
know what? God worshipped Him. Before He went, Father, the hour
has come. Glorify Thy Son, that Thy Son
may glorify Thee. Oh, the Son glorified the Father,
worshipped Him, laid down His life for His Father's glory,
to worship Him. You know what the Father did?
The Father worshipped the Son. He said, Thy throne, O God, is
forever. Because You've done this, I'm
going to exalt You. Christ said, I'm going to exalt
You. God said, I'm going to exalt You. Worship. And we don't really worship God
unless we worship around Christ crucified. And a picture and
a type and a prophecy of Christ crucified, buried, and risen
again. Abraham, now, didn't question
God. God promised him. He said, of
your seed, I'm going to bless people with no rank and number.
Your seed. Not Ishmael. Isaac. Isaac. Your seed. Abraham believed
God. Who's he talking about? Who's
God talking about? The seed. Christ. That's what
Galatians said. Not seeds. Not many, but one. Christ. Seed. He is the seed.
He's the Word. The seed, isn't it? Life, it
said. Abraham knew that. He knew that.
But Abraham, God said, take your son up on this mountain and offer
his body as a burnt offering to Me, to worship Me, to glorify
Me. Do this. Do this. Obey Me. Lay down his life for Me. And
burn him, burn his body. And he didn't question God. He
believed God. That's faith. He didn't question.
He believed God. He believed God. And what he
believed was, well, God said, I'm going to use my son to see
the seed and be satisfied. I'll be blessed. But he told
me to kill him. I don't understand, but I'm going
to do it. And I believe God must be going
to raise him from the dead. I'm going to kill him. and burn
his body, but somehow, some way, that boy, according to God's
promise, is going to live. And I'm going to see his seed,
and his seed seed, and his seed seed. I'm going to see that and
be happy. So, I believe God. I'm going
to raise him from the dead. And that's a prophecy of Christ.
All through the Scripture, Christ must suffer, must die, must be
buried, but He'll not leave His own head. He must rise again. Else the promises of God are
no avail if Christ didn't rise. If Isaac didn't rise, God's promise
was no good. If Christ didn't rise, God's
promise was no good. So He's going to rise again.
I and the Lamb. Alright? Now these two young
men represent... You remember when our Lord was
up on the mountain with Peter, Andrew, James, and John. Peter,
James, and John. And he had brought two men with
him, Elijah and Moses. Moses and Elijah, there. They
represent the law, Moses, and the prophets. What were they
speaking of? What were they talking about
with Christ up on that mountain? It says, the death, the decease
he should accomplish. That is, his death on Calvary's
tree, but more than that, the death of death. Salvation accomplished. The bringing in of an everlasting
righteousness. The establishment of his kingdom.
The putting away of sin by the sacrifice of Himself. That's
what they spoke of. Moses and the prophet. The law
and the prophet bore witness of Christ and Him crucified.
These two men represent the law and the prophet. There were twelve in the upper
room. Twelve disciples. Thirteen, counting
our Lord. Twelve, counting our Lord. Judas
wasn't there. There were three in the garden
with Him. Four, counting our Lord. But when our Lord went
to Calvary's tree, everybody had to leave. Why? Because the law can't take us
to God. No man. We're not born of flesh, the
will of flesh, the will of man. The prophets can't take us to
God. Only Christ can take us to God. So when Christ went to
Calvary's tree, it was between Him and the Father. And He said,
I want to go worship God. for you. He'll come again. Didn't He? He'll come again. You'll see. Too young. Abide here. Abide here. Right there. At the foot of this
mountain. Out in the land. Worship. Alright? Look at verse
6. Abraham took the wood of the
burnt offering and laid it upon Isaac his son. Now Isaac, at this time, was
about 17 or 18 years old. He was a strong young man. He
was able to bear this load of this wood that his father...
Abraham's about 128, 130 years old at this time. He's an old man. And Abraham
laid on his son all the load. All the burden laid it on His
strong Son. He's able to bear this load. And He bore it all the way up
to the top of that mountain, all that load. Now what this
is a picture of is God laid on Christ the iniquity of us all. The weight of a world of people
was on His shoulders. He's able to bear it. He's strong. He's able. He was willing and
he's able. He's able to say to the uttermost. You know, Catholics have a picture
of Christ falling beneath that cross that it became too heavy.
That's not in the Bible. It's not there. He didn't fall
beneath the weight of that load. Our Lord shall not fail, the
scripture said, to be discouraged. He carried his cross as far as
the Lord's purpose for him to carry it. They put it on another
man as a picture of how you're going to bear his cross. You
and I are going to bear his cross. But they didn't put it on that
man because Christ wasn't able to carry it. He put it on him
because we're going to bear his cross to him. Everyone else.
And that man wasn't put on the cross. Simon and Cyrene, he wasn't
put on the cross. Christ was. And Christ was put
on that cross for him. And we're going to bear it and
see this is what our Lord suffered. This is what our Lord did. Crucified
for them. You want to feel a little bit
of the weight of it. But Isaac was able, wasn't he?
He carried his load. And look at verse 6. It says,
Abraham took the fire in his hand and a knife. And they went,
both of them, together. Fire and a knife. What's that? Our gods are consuming fire.
All through this talk about a burn-off and a burn-off and a burn-off
and a burn-off and a burn-off. Why? Six times. Burn-off. Because
our gods are consuming fire. How is God going to destroy this
world? By fire. Where is He going to put people
that don't know Him? In a lake of fire. The Gospel burns up everything,
but Christ, like the burning bush, it won't be consumed. If
you're in Christ, you won't be consumed. Burnt offering, burnt
offering, because that's what we deserve. And Christ went through
hell on Calvary's tree of burnt offering. He took fire in His hand and
a knife. That's the justice of God. The soul that sinneth must
surely die. The knife of God's justice pierced the Word of God. I kill. Word of God in God's
hand, a knife, and they both went together. Now, Isaac. These
are the first, verse 7. These are the first recorded
words of the Son of Promise. These are the first recorded
words of Isaac. Are you with me? Somebody. These are the first recorded
words, Isaac. What are they? Isaac spake unto Abraham his
father and said, My father. My Father? Our Lord Jesus Christ, right
before He went to Calvary's tree, was in the garden, on His knees,
and He lifted up His eyes to heaven. He said, Father, I was gone. Glorify that Son
of Man. Father, hear my voice from heaven
and let me have glorified. I'll go and thank you, Father.
My Father, He said in verse 7, He said, Here am I, my son. He
said, Behold the fire and the wood that I'm carrying, the
fire in your hand, the knife, the wood. Father, where is the
lamb for a burnt offering? He knew that the only way to
worship God, the only way to approach God, the only way to
come to God, like our children do, is by the blood of a lamb.
A burnt, and he burned that body. A whole burnt offering. A whole
lamb. You see what's happening. You
see, that's a lamb that was living. There it is. There's its body.
Now it's burnt. It's dead, its blood was shed,
and it went through hell. For me. You see that? That's Christ crucified. There is no worship of God without
that. This boy knew that. Our children
know that. And we can say that of religion
today. No, I see the wood, hay, and
stubble, and all this fire you're making your children go through.
Catch the fire, if you caught the fire, if your children caught
the fire. Where's the lamb? You can't worship God without
a lamb. God told Adam that. God told
Abel that. God tells all these people that.
Isaac knew that. Where's the lamb? We can't go
to God without a lamb. Listen to this. Here's the answer. Abraham said, Jehovah Jireh, my son, God will provide Himself
a land for Barnabas. Are you with me? You've heard
this before. We want to hear it again. Okay. God will provide. That's His name, Jehovah-Jireh.
After this is over, they call that Mount Jehovah-Jireh. What
do you need? God will provide. You need a
righteousness? Jehovah-Jireh. God will provide. You need a
dwelling place? Jehovah-Jireh. God will provide.
You need a lamb? Jehovah-Jireh. You need pardon? You need forgiveness? You need
propitiation? You need wisdom, righteousness, sanctification?
Jehovah-Jireh. God will provide. What? Himself. A lamb. God must have a lamb
to forgive you. There must be a substitute for
God to be just and justifier. He will by no means clear the
guilt. He can't just sweep it under the rug. The soul that
sins must surely die. You've got to die. So God has
to have a lamb, a substitute, has to kill someone in your stead. God will provide for Himself
a lamb. Who's that? It's his son. Abraham's taking his son. He
believes God. He's taking his son and offering
it to God. Out of great gratitude, love
to God. Out of love to God, he's taking his son and offering him
up to God. Do you know what God did? He
loved us. Not good, not righteous, but
sinners. Oh, behold what manner of love
the Father has done. God committed His love to us,
and why would we yet sin? Here in His love. Not that we
love God, but He loved us, and sent His Son to be a burnt offering. Abraham realized, this is nothing
what I'm doing, nothing, but this is what Why did this happen? To show us what God did. God will provide Himself for
Himself, and it says God will provide Himself a lamb. God that was manifested in the
flesh. God became the lamb. That man, Jesus Christ, on Calvary's
tree, was the Lamb of God. Behold, the Lamb of God, John
preached, that taketh away the sin of the world. So they left. They went. Both of them together. What a
beautiful story this is. What a beautiful story. There's
no more beautiful story on it. No greater story of love, of
sacrifice, of mercy and grace than this story. Both of them
together. God was in Christ, reconciling
the world. And I said, my, my, praise His
holy name. So they came to the place, verse
9, which God had told him of. Abraham built an altar there,
laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac, his son. Tied his hands behind his back. Brothers and sisters, I told
you, Isaac's 17, 18-year-old boy, and Abraham's 135 years
old. He could not have bound that
boy if he wasn't willing. Isaac was willing. Isaac was obedient. Isaac said,
okay father, take me. You believe God, you know God.
This must be, nevertheless, not my will, thy will be done. Who bound Christ? They took him
bound. They came for him in the garden,
didn't they? A whole mob, a whole lynch mob
came for him in the garden. And one last show, he said, I
am. And they all fell to the ground. You see, it wasn't man that took
him and bound him. It wasn't man that delivered
him up. It wasn't man that killed him. God delivered him up for his
people. God is the one that bound his
son. God said, bind him. And Christ said, bind me. Now
you remember our Lord carried that cross up there. And He laid
the wood in order. He bound Isaac and He put him
on that altar. We have an altar. And that altar
is Jesus Christ Himself who hung on Calvary's tree. And Abraham, verse 10, stretched
forth his hand. He took that knife. Now, brothers
and sisters, in Isaiah 53 that Brother Wesley read, it says, it pleased the Lord
to bruise him. He had put his soul to grief.
God took no pleasure from the death of his son. Do you think
Abraham took pleasure in it? He's going
to do this. He loved that son with all his heart. This is why God holds the whole
world guilty of killing His Son. And those who don't appreciate
it, God hates them. God did this. Unworthy people. And to scoff at it and make light
of it and wear a cross around your neck and all this stuff
and play games with it. God! It's an abomination to God! David
wasn't taking pleasure in that. He was grieving! Do you think
it pleased God to see his son treated like that? It grieved
Him! But for His great love! This
has got to happen. Christ said, pierce me. But the pleasure was it pleased
God to make you His people. It pleased God. It pleased Christ. Christ for His worthless pride
said, take me, don't take her. Take me. Father said, I will,
but it's not going to give me great pleasure. Oh, you're going
to give me great glory, but to see my son suffer? That's not
what pleased God. What pleased God was Christ's
sacrifice. You see that? Abraham, his heart is breaking. He's going to plunge that knife
into his chest. He took that knife and the angel
of the Lord Cry it out. Verse... Abraham, Abraham! Here
am I. Who's this? Who's the angel of
the Lord? It was the Lord that spoke to
him first. Who's this angel of the Lord? It's the Spirit of
God. The Holy Spirit of God. Alright? Say it. Touch not the
Lamb. Look at verse 12. Lay not thine
hand upon the Lamb, neither do thou anything to Him. Don't touch
Him. Now I know that thou fearest
God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy Son, thine only Son, from
me." And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked. Behold, behind him, there all
along, was a ram. See, the Holy Spirit takes the
things of Christ and shows them unto him. God said, look unto me and be
ye saved, all the ends of the earth. I'm God, there's none
else. Look! Like the people bitten by that
serpent on a pole. Look! And live. Lay not thine hand. Don't touch
that son. Don't do anything to him. Nothing's going to happen to
that boy. He's got a substitute. Look. Now listen, I love the
thought of this. This happened. Long before they
went up this mountain, down in the valley, this happened. Down
in the valley, there's a sheepfold, and there's a man who owns a
sheep. And it's a mixture of goats and sheep. And in that
sheepfold, he's got a prize sheep. He's got a ram of the first year,
of the first limb of the flock. It's his prize. It's beautiful.
A spotless ram, without spot or blemish. A glorious ram in
that sheepfold. And that night, that night, an
unseen hand opens the door of that sheepfold. And that one
ram walks out of that and that unseen hand closes that gate.
And that ram walks out of that sheepfold and ascends Mount Moriah,
walks up that mountain. That ram walks up that mountain,
gets to the top of that mountain and there's a bush, a shrub,
of thickets, of thorny thickets, and that ram with its horns puts
his head in that thicket, and his head is surrounded by thorns! And he's caught, he's captive. Why? He's a substitute. And he's waiting for the one
to come. That happened long before you
and I were born. Our spotless Lamb of God ascended
Calvary's tree, and they put a crown of thorns on His head. Who are you doing this for, Lord? Not Him, surely. Him. Him. The Father forgave Him. He doesn't
know what He's doing. Take me." Oh, that crown of thorns. Nobody
wore a diadem as glorious as that. Look, Abraham. Look, Isaac. Look behind there. There's your
salvation. There's your life, a substitute.
Abraham, first thing he did, you know what he did? He took
that knife and cut the bonds. Cut his side loose, John. made
him free. And you know what they both did? They went over and laid hold
of that ram in that thicket. What did they lay hold of? His
head! His horns! Are you with me? This is the horns of the altar.
They laid hold of the horns. Why? And they both held it tight.
You got him, Isaac? I got him. You got him dead?
I got him. Why? This is my life! If he doesn't die for me... Precious,
they hold of the hope, the second form. And they took him over.
And Abraham took that knife and cut, and the blood flowed out
of that ram. And he laid his body on that
altar and took a knife to that wood and consumed that ram. And they're both alive. Isaac's
saying, life, life. That's my life. Christ is my
life. Abraham said, son, we just saw
the Christ. We just saw the Lamb of God who's
coming to take away the sin of all His people. Oh, Christ is
coming. He's coming someday. And we just
saw it. Aren't you glad? Hey, old Isaac
said, I sure am, Dad. We both saw it, didn't we? We
sure did. And they went down from that
mountain singing. washed in the blood, the Lamb
of God. He offered Him in His stead,
and Abraham called the name of that place, verse 14, Jehovah-Jireh,
as it is said this day, in the mount of the Lord it shall be
seen. That is, God is going to see to it. God is going to provide
it Himself, a Lamb, the salvation of the Lord. And this is all
for His glory. All for His glory. Don't worry,
Hadley. Praise the Lord. Okay, let's
sing a closing hymn.
