Good singing. As I said before,
I can't hear everybody's voices. I'm standing up there, but I
can down here. Some of y'all need to be singing solo. Yeah,
you do. Good Lord give you a good voice.
If I call on you, you will, won't you? I think so. Luke 9. Let's
go with Luke 9. This is recorded in 3 of the
Gospels of Luke chapter 9. Read verses 18 through 22 with
me. Luke 9. It came to pass as he
was alone praying, his disciples were with him. And he asked them, saying, Whom
say the people that I am? And answering said, John the
Baptist, some say Elias, others say that one of the old prophets
has risen again. And he said unto them, but whom
say ye that I am? And then Peter answering said,
the Christ of God. And he straightly and immediately
charged them, commanded them to tell no man that thing, that
truth. Saying, son of man must suffer
many things and be rejected of the elders and chief priests
and scribes and be slain and be raised the third day. There's so much to be seen here. He asked them, who do you say
that I am, the disciple? He knew. He knew they knew him. He knew them. The reason they
knew him, because he foreknew them. He had revealed himself
to them. He's not asking for information,
but as a testimony. The Lord knows them that are
his. The foundation of God standeth
sure. The Lord knoweth them that are his. He chose them. He said,
you didn't choose me, I chose you. To reveal Himself to them. This is life eternal. John 17.3. Our Lord said, this is life eternal,
that they might know Thee, the only true God. Do you know how
few people know the only true God? Very few people, truly,
in any given generation. Oh, there's probably at least
7,000. But comparatively to the population, there aren't many
people that know that God is God. They call Him that. But
they really don't believe He's absolute, the Creator, Sovereign,
reigning, ruling, controlling all things, working all things,
sending all things, doing all things. They don't believe that. Well, we do. Don't we? Don't
we? The only true God. Our God is God. And Jesus Christ
said, this is life eternal, that they might know Thee, the only
true God, and Jesus Christ, whom Thou hast sent. A lot of people
talk about Jesus. And this is why I keep pressing
this point. Because to know Him is to know
that He is the Lord Jesus Christ. And that's how we refer to His
people, generally speaking. Call Him either Lord or Christ.
Isn't that what the disciples called Him? Always, Lord or Master. And when asked, Simon, Peter, spoke up on all
our behalf, didn't he, Brother Steve? He said, who do you say
that I am? I am. He said, I am God. Peter said, Simon, thou art the
Christ of God. Now, there's so much to be seen
here. Now, so much to be seen. Alright,
I've got three points. Christ alone. We'll see Him alone. And then, since they were with
Him, they were alone with Christ. It's very simple out there. Christ
alone. And then they were alone with
Christ, and then the Christ alone. Are you with me? Was it you? I said, I don't know. I've been
saying, get three different shifts coming. Same thing. I remember telling somebody,
Wednesday maybe, when I say, are you with me? I'm not, what
I mean is, you need to hear this. I'm not telling you what, I think,
in my opinion, what God's Word says for our comfort. We need
to hear that. We need to hear what He says.
It will help us so much. Are you with me? Christ alone. Verse 18 says that
He came to pass as He was alone. Pray. The Lord Jesus Christ.
Emmanuel. That's who this is. God manifests
in the flesh. God over all. He's called the
Lord of hosts. mulled through the heavenly hosts
around him. God who created the seraphs and
the cherubs and the angels and the heavenly hosts, God who created
all things, Lord of hosts, left heaven where he was surrounded
by, who knows how many, and came down here alone. Because he'll work by himself. Oh, I love this thought. He came
alone. You remember the story of Abraham
and Isaac going up the mountain and he told the three young men
to stay here, you stay here, you can't go up with us. I and
the lad, the father said, I and the lad are going up on this
mountain where God has told us to come. And we're going off
for a sacrifice. And we're coming back down. That's
a picture of Christ and the Father and the Son. Christ alone. I'm getting ahead of myself. He left heaven where he was never
alone. Here's the lesson here. He was never alone, even before
the angels were created. He was with the Father. Proverbs
8 says, I was ever his delight. I was daily his delight, as one
that was brought up with him. He was never alone. The Jehovah
Witnesses, falsely so-called, say that Christ actually came
into being when He was born. No, He didn't. He's eternal. He's the eternal God. You have
God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. And
these three are one. But these three have always been.
have been, are now, and shall be. And Christ was with the Father
in the beginning, in the Spirit of God. They explain it. I can't. But it's so. Never alone. These three are one. You know, he had no need to be alone. He
had no desire to be alone before. He was with the one that he loved,
ever his daily delight. They perfectly joined. You know,
if you're compatible with someone, you like being with them. It's
like marriage. I want you to turn to 1 Peter
3 with marriage, and that's what the Lord calls Christ and His
church. If you're perfectly joined together,
compatible with the one you're married to, you like being with
that person. Don't like being separated, right?
My parents were joined together by God, and every true marriage
is made, truly made, in heaven like the first marriage, 1 Peter
3. My parents were married at, he
was 20, and she was 22. Man, that's young isn't it? Wow. And they were married for
72 years. That's amazing, isn't it? But
you know, I believe Abraham would laugh at that. Sarah and I, we've
been married 140 years. Or Enoch, I've been married 300
years. My point being, if you're joined
together and perfectly compatible, you enjoy that person, you don't
need to be. apart from them. My parents, the last 20 years
or so of their life, were rarely apart from each other. Once someone
asked me one time, the secret of a good marriage, well, God's
Word tells us, look at this, 1 Peter 3, He says, Husbands, dwell with them, verse
7, dwell with your wives according to knowledge, giving honor unto
the wife as unto the weaker vessel, being heirs together of the grace
of life, that your prayers be not And finally, all of us. What about a church? How does
it stay together? All of us be of one mind, having compassion.
One another. Love as brethren. Pitiful, courteous. See, not rendering evil for evil. Blessing. Verse 10. He that will
love life, seek good daily, refrain his tongue from evil, his lips,
speak no guile against you evil, do good, seek peace, and sue
it. And so on. So, those are key. But our Lord, now go back to
the text. Our Lord came down here to do
a work alone. He left the Father, though spiritually
speaking, He was never apart from Him, except on Calvary. That's when He said, My God,
my God, why hast thou forsaken me? That's hell, where God is
not. No mercy. No love. No grace.
No goodness. Separation from God. No peace.
No comfort. No word. No nothing. Separated. That's right. But he was never really alone,
but yet he came into this world to do a work alone, and he was
quite often alone. And verse 18 says he was praying. What a lesson this is here for
us, isn't it? He was always getting alone to pray. Scripture says, He always rose
a great while before day. To do what? To pray. If our Lord needed to pray, how
much more do we need to pray? Prayer is calling on God, isn't
it? Many things. Praise, thanksgiving, requests,
supplication with thanksgiving. Praise, thanksgiving. Speaking
to God. That's what prayer is. Speaking
to God. If you love someone and live with someone, you commune
with them. You talk to them. Somebody called
it the believer's breath. When Saul of Tarsus, when the
Lord revealed Himself to Saul of Tarsus, oh, he was like Pharisees
before. The Pharisee of the temple loved
to hear himself pray. He wasn't praying. He didn't
know Christ. He sure wasn't asking for mercy.
He wasn't asking for righteousness. He didn't need it. God's not
hearing him. But, God, when our Lord met Saul
on that road and revealed Himself to him, it says, and he was born
again that day, of meeting Christ, of hearing His Word, and a preacher
came. And the Lord said to that preacher,
Go, Saul of Tarsus, I've chosen him. Behold, he prayed." He's
praying now. He's praying in the name of Jesus
Christ now. He knows someone he didn't know
before. Someone he needs and didn't have
before. So he prayed in the name of Christ. He's speaking to God. It's proof of life. It's the
believer's breath. It's not always out loud. We
could stay right here the whole time. It's that important. I keep bringing up this verse. 2 Chronicles 7 verse 14. If my
people, we want the Lord to heal our
land. If my people, other people aren't going to call on God. He's only going to hear Christ. Those in Christ. If my people,
that are called by my name, do humble themselves and pray, call on me, and turn from their
wicked ways. He said, then, seek my face,
seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways. Then, he says, I'll
hear from heaven, I'll forgive their sin, and I'll heal the
land. Like Daniel called on the Lord to help us. Ezekiel, and
so on. Prayer is communion with God,
calling on God. My, my, my, how we need to pray. Our Lord said Himself men ought
always to pray, didn't He? That memory, one of the memory
verses I sent you, and I'm going to deal with it in the next hour,
1 Thessalonians 5, it says pray without ceasing. Rejoice evermore, pray without
ceasing, and everything give thanks. This is the will of God
in Christ concerned. Pray without ceasing. If our
Lord prayed, oh, how much more should we? What did He pray? What was He
saying to God? Oh, my. He prayed what He did
in the garden, didn't He? Not my will, but Thy will be
done. He had the weight of the world on His shoulders. He prayed
for strength. He prayed for help, supplication,
help, strength. The weight of the kingdom was
on Him. He's about to go to the cross and die on that cross.
He prayed for strength to do that. And He was always praying
for His own. He was always praying for His
people. You know that God will hear those
that pray for others? He will. He will. When our Lord told us
to pray, how we ought to pray, what did he say? Our Father,
which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come,
thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this
day our daily bread. Lead us not into temptation,
deliver us from evil. Right? Forgive us our trespasses. Us. Pray Him. And that's what
he did. Well, that's our Lord alone.
Here's his disciples alone with him, verse 18. It says his disciples
were with him, alone. You'll enjoy this, I hope. The disciples were with him.
He was with them, alone. They were with him, alone. They
heard him praying. He made sure that they heard
his prayer. He was praying to the Father, but remember in Lazarus
2, Melanie, where he said, I know that you hear me. He was saying
it out loud. And prayer can be out loud, but most of the time
it's not. We're not praying to be heard. If you're like me,
I know you have trouble praying at your table or public prayer,
don't we, Stephen? I'd rather not do it. But when
we're praying alone, we're just from the heart. But often he
did pray out loud so that they would hear him. And they did,
and I'm glad. And they were alone with Him,
and they watched Him pray, and they asked Him, Lord, teach us
to pray. But they were always with Him, and He had them, those
twelve disciples, alone with Him most of the time. Except
when He allowed the most to come. Can you imagine what that was
like? Three and a half years. Three and a half years they were
eating and drinking and living with and listening to the Lord
God walked on this earth. And He came and chose them. Come with me, I want to talk
to you. For three and a half years probably.
What they heard. What they saw. That's what John
wrote in 1 John. He said, we heard His voice. We handled Him. We touched the
Word of Life. We were with Him. They didn't
realize it then, they didn't appreciate it then, him. When he was gone, it's like anything
that you have, when you have it, you don't appreciate it until
it's gone. And when he was gone, they finally said, why didn't
we listen more? Oh, I'd like to have him back,
just for a little bit. Oh, I wish he was out in front
of us now. He is. The last thing he said
was, I'll not leave you, I'll never leave you. I've told you how many times
I've talked to him. My dad's later days when he got
old and feeble. It was then I needed him more
than ever. Wouldn't you like to have your dad right now to
glean from his wisdom, Brother Stephen? We didn't appreciate
him when we had him. We didn't do it. We didn't appreciate
him. We'd have hung on his every word, wouldn't we? We'd have stayed at home until
he was 40. Dad, you do it. I can't. And they lived with
him. Oh, people. Oh, the most lovely
person ever. They were around him all the
time. They couldn't get enough of him. No man spake like this
man. When he spake, they shut up. The birds quit singing. Everything
stopped. Even his enemies came one time
to get him. Nobody speaks like this. The wisest, kindest, sweetest,
all he said, all he did, and they had him all to themselves. Almost all to themselves. But now here's a good lesson.
Every now and then, like this, in this story, the Moabites who
came, he had them privately. And then here came all these
people. And I know Simon said, get them
out of here. But now heaven is not going to
be a little group. Now we're enjoying this right
now, Polly, aren't we? We really are, okay? But it ain't
going to be like this forever. And really, can you imagine what
it's going to be like? All the people. all around Christ. We're all going to be looking
at this thing. Can you believe that? Did you hear that? Did you hear that? Can you believe we're here? Let's
look up. Singing. Yeah, we love to sing.
Pretty good singing. 10 people. Imagine Ten thousands
times ten thousands and thousands singing at the top of their lungs
from the bottom of their heart in perfect unity, in perfect
pitch and key. Holy, holy, holy. No, we can't. It's going to be glorious isn't
it? It's going to be glorious. But right now, we just got a
few. We've got ten right now. Actually, there's thirteen. There's
thirteen out of six. Father, Son, Holy Spirit, let
us stand. They were alone with the Lord.
Now let's look at the Christ alone. He asked them this question
in Luke 9 verse 18. Who say the people that I am? They answered, said John the
Baptist. Some say Elijah, Elisha, Elijah. And, you know, if somebody said
that about me, that would be quite a compliment, wouldn't
it? My, my, he's the next John the Baptist. He's the incarnation
of Elijah. That wasn't a compliment to the
Lord. That was dishonoring to him.
Another thing, one of the old prophets has risen, maybe Moses.
Moses said, here's what Moses said. Moses wrote of him. To Him give all the prophets
witness. Moses wrote of Him. The people bragged about Moses,
Abraham. They said, Abraham's our father.
And they said, we had Moses. He said, Moses wrote of me. He
said, your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. Abraham didn't
even know Christ until Christ came and revealed Himself to
him. He's a heathen. He's an idolater. No, he's a nothing.
He's a nobody. Moses was a shepherd. He's a
nothing. He's a nobody. Just a boy. Christ is all. We don't worship men. One of the next stories of Christ
being transfigured, it says Moses and Elijah both came to bear
witness to Him. What He was about to do. To Him give all the prophets
witness. But they said, some people say
you're this, some people say you're that. Moses said, a prophet
like me, yes, a man, God will raise up. They said a capital
P. R-O-M-P-H-E-T. He said, Him you'll
listen to. He's going to be that prophet.
He's going to be the prophet of whom the prophets speak. He's
going to be the one, the Christ, the Messiah, like the woman at
the well said, the one that will tell us all things. See, like
Paul said, We preach in part, we know in part, but like the
woman said, when Christ has come, he'll tell us all things, because
in him dwelleth all the fullness, all wisdom, all knowledge, all
treasures of wisdom and knowledge are in him. He is all. So that was no compliment to
our Lord. He said under there, verse 20,
Whom say ye that I am? And, you know, people might say
some good things about him today, but unless you can answer with
Simon Peter what Christ said here, unless you can answer with
the understanding, unless you can say this from the heart,
you don't know him. All right? Whom say ye that I
am? Simon Peter. Peter, answer. Simon
was quite often speaking up, wasn't he? That's what we do. Some of us are more guilty of
that than others. And our words ought to be feared. But, buddy, when it comes to
this, if asked if reason for the hope that lies within us,
if given an opportunity to testify, we need to speak out. Nobody
does. Simon Peter said, in verse 20,
Simon Peter answered, four words, the Christ of God. Whom do men say that I am? Now, when our Lord asks questions,
he doesn't ask for information. It's not that he doesn't know
something that needs an answer to it. When he asks questions,
It's to demand a response. It's for us to question ourselves.
It's for him to question us, and for us to examine ourselves,
whether we be of the faith. And this is the faith, and this
is the question of all questions. People ask all kinds of questions,
don't they? Worthless, useless questions.
How many of y'all got that? How many? Like I said, right
now, we've got more than any other church in Franklin County. But that's not the question.
I had a German Baptist lady ask my wife one day, Steven, do you
all have curtains on your windows? Boy, now that's really important. Eternity is just a breath away. Do you all have curtains on your
windows? None calleth for truth. That's what Isaiah 59 says. None
stirreth up himself to take hold of God. None calleth for truth,
for judgment. What's truth? What's God? Y'all know God? You
know the truth? Anybody know what the truth is?
How's a man saved? What must I do to be saved? You
ever have anybody ask you that question? I don't say, what think ye of
Christ? That's the question. Our Lord,
they asked him many questions. If a man's married seven times
and in the resurrection, who's his wife going to be? None of them. He's the wife. Christ is
the husband. They all got one husband. It's
Christ. Well, should we pay taxes or
not? On and on, questions like that.
Finally, they asked him no more questions. They ran out of questions.
He made foolish their questions. And he asked them one question.
What think ye of Christ? Whose son is he? And that's what we ought to ask
these people who come to our door, the Mormons, the Jehovah's
Witnesses, whoever it may be, the Southern Baptists. Whose
son is he? He's the Son of God. A woman
said to my wife, well, we have this much in common. We both
believe that Jesus is the Son of God. What do you mean by that? What do you mean by that, Son
of God? Is He less than God? Did He have His beginning 2,000
years ago? Huh? What do you mean by that? Is
He God? Is He the Son of God? That's what Christ said. Whose
Son is He? They said He's the Son of David.
And he said, then why did David call him Lord? Why did David
call him Lord? The Lord said unto my Lord. Well,
he's Jesus. No, he's Jehovah. He can't be
Jehovah. Yes, he can. He is. This is the
question then. People don't have hope. They
don't have salvation. They don't know the Christ of
Scripture. If they don't know, he's God manifesting the flesh.
Not just the Son of God. You know what Hebrews 1 says?
You know this. Hebrews 1.8 says that the Father said unto the
Son, He said, Thy throne, O God, is for every man. That's what
God says of God, of His Son. Equal with the Father. Who thought
it not robbery to be equal with the Father, but made Himself
of no reputation. Why? Hebrews says we see Him,
Jesus, made a little lower than the angels. Why? For the suffering
of death. God can't die. Man can't satisfy
the law. So God became a man. God satisfied
the law. Man died according to the law.
The God-man. We know this, don't we? Oh, we
know this. Our children know this in their head. That this
is salvation. To know Him. Who He is. Why He came. To look to Him. To trust Him. Believe Him. To
be Christ. Our Lord asked questions to make
Him demand an answer from us. Here's the question of questions.
Whom say ye that I am? And many had different opinions.
There's only one correct answer. The Christ. I've done it. And I said, and the last point
was, Christ. The Christ. Alone. There is no other. The word The
is a definite article. Few is not one. Several is not
one. The means there's only one. It's
a definite article. The. The Christ. The only one. It's only one. The Christ alone. There is no other. Only one. And it's God's Christ. of God,
chosen of God. Isaiah 42 says, mine elect. He'll bring forth judgment. He
shall not fail or be discouraged. This is mine elect. This is my
Christ. This is my anointed. The word
Christ means anointed one. Anointed one. That's what Christ
means. Anointed one. Anointed by God. Chosen by God. Jesus Christ is not accepted
by men. Like God's not elected to be
God, let God be God. No, no, no, no, no. Christ is
not accepted by men either. God chose him. And God sent him
with a definite work to do for a definite people. He's the Christ
of God sent to do the work, the only one who can, for the elect,
his people. Definite. Particular. Only one. The Christ, the God,
anointed, chosen by God, designated by God. Like Aaron, my, my, we need another
hour, but give me five or ten more minutes, okay? Five minutes. Aaron, in Hebrew, go to Hebrews
5. You know these things. Maybe
somebody listening doesn't. The whole book of Hebrews is
about Jesus Christ. See, salvation is of the Jews.
You know, the word Christ is not in the Old Testament. The
anointed one is. Christ means anointed. Messiah. Messiah is. One time. Daniel 9. Messiah. I think I'm correct about that. Just one. Maybe twice. But it's
not used in any other religion. They don't call Buddha the Christ.
They don't call Mohammed the Christ. They call him a prophet.
The Christ is only used in the Jewish religion. He's the Messiah. He's the Christ. And that's by
design. God did that. He's called the
Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus
the Christ. The Christ of God. The Messiah. And what Christ, what anointed
me, look at Hebrews 5. means the one chosen by God to
do a work, a work of redemption, a work of salvation. One time,
the woman at the well, and she said, some say this, some say
that, you know, Jews, Gentiles say this, and he said, salvation
to the Jews. Remember that? Salvation to the
Jews. You've got to have a Christ.
You can't be saved except by the Christ. Go learn what that
means. You've got to have a tabernacle.
You've got to have a sacrifice, a certain sacrifice. Not anything
will do. You've got to have a high priest. One. Right? One tabernacle. One place where
God will meet. One sacrifice, a lamb. And one
high priest. These three. One. The Christ. Look at Hebrews 5 verse 4. It
says, No man taketh this honor unto himself to be a high priest,
but he that is called of God, like Aaron, so also Christ glorified
not himself to be made a high priest. But he that said unto
him, Thou art my son, today have I begotten thee. God made him to be the Christ. He's always with the Father.
with the Father in the beginning, but God declared Him in a covenant
before the world began to be the Christ, the Messiah of His
people, to come down by Himself to purge the sins of His people.
One man, Hebrews says, one man who offered one sacrifice for
sins forever. By one offering, this man perfected
forever them that are sanctified by Him. To know and believe that
He is the Christ is to know and believe that He is salvation.
Salvation of the Jews. How many people know that? How
many people have a clue what that means? You've got to have
a tabernacle house. We do, don't we? Your grandchildren,
your children know that. Most people don't know, they
don't care, they don't ask any questions. Why is that important? You've got to have the Christ,
not a Christ, the Christ. You've got to know Him. You've
got to know who He is, why He came. You're not going to call
on Him. You're not going to believe Him. You're not going to trust
Him. You're going to look elsewhere. If you know He's the Christ,
He's made unto us and declared by God, made unto us wisdom,
righteousness, sanctification, redemption. He is all these things
wrapped up in one person. One sacrifice. One half-breed. One place where God will meet
with His people, and that's the Christ. The Christ of God. To know and believe He is the
Christ is to know that He is your only way into the Holy of
Holies. He is your only acceptance with
God. He is your only hope of heaven. And when you see He said, it's
finished. I finished it. When he came out
of the Holy of Holies, offered that one, he said, it's accepted. Be of good cheer. Peace. First
thing he said to him, Brother John, was, peace be unto thee.
After he arrived, peace be unto thee. He obtained peace by the
blood of his cross. Took his blood in. Put it on
the holy place. On the mercy seat. Are you with
me? Oh, he's the covenant head, he's
the second Adam, and Adam all die in Christ. All made alive. Our ark in Christ. Noah and his
family knew what, didn't they? You know why we were saved? Ask
any of them. Ask all of them. Why were you
saved from that flood? We were found in that ark. That's why Paul said, O that
I might win Christ and be found in Him, not having mine own righteousness. Brother, we know what that means.
Isn't that a blessing? They were in Him. Our covenant
head, our second Adam, covenant keeping, the deliverer. The Deliverer,
that's what Christ means. From captivity. The God of this
world has been captive. They don't even know it. People
don't even know it. They can be in religion. The name of the place is Delivery
Tabernacle. And they're under the dominion
of the God of this world. That's what the Pharisees said.
We're not in captivity, bondage to any man. You're under bondage
to the law. You're under bondage to sin.
And you're doing Satan's work. Our Lord knew that. But he came
to lead captivity. Captive. He came to deliver his
bride. And we won't be delivered unless
the Christ comes and get us. Like that story of Abigail. Oh,
I love that story. David standing up there in the
mountains. And his people were held captive,
his bride, Abigail, held captive by these heathens. And David
said, God told him, go down there and get her. Did he? Yes, he did. He recovered off. And Abigail
was waiting on him. Delivered from captivity and
from death. Now look at this in closing.
It says in verse 21, He straightly charged them, commanded them
to tell no man that thing. Why did He tell them not to tell
anybody? Well, they're going to. After
He rises from the grave, one of the last things He's going
to tell them is, go into all the world, now tell on them.
Tell everybody, this is what you're going to do from now on,
is tell everybody. I am. But he told them this because,
like the scripture says, he'll not cry or lift up his voice
or cause his voice to be heard in the street. He wasn't trying
to get anybody to believe him. He wasn't trying to get anybody
to follow him. He came to do a work. He came to find his sheep,
and he found them where he put them. He came to do a work of
redemption, and that had to be finished. One time they tried
to make him king. Remember that? They tried to
make him king. He wouldn't let them. Why? Because
he already is king. God did it long before. He's
come to this earth the first time to hang on a cross. And
he's telling his disciples, this can't be stopped. I will not
be crowned completely and finally until I put all foes under my
footstool at Calvary, like David, till I destroy that giant's head,
cut that giant's head off, Satan. He told them, don't say this,
because verse 22, the Son of Man must suffer many things,
and be rejected of the elders, and chief priests, and scribes,
and be slain, be raised the third day. This is why he came. For this cause, Christ came into
this world. To suffer death. To deliver us from captivity. All our lifetime subject. Captivity,
the law. Deliver us from our sins. Deliver
us from Satan. Put away sin by the sacrifice
of himself. And Christ had to go and suffer.
The whole volume of the book, it's written that Christ must
suffer. And He did. The wrath of God,
the judgment of God, against God's people, and now there is
no wrath. And now, buddy, when he rose
from the grave, it's finished. Then he said, now go, tell them
who I am, what I've done, declare unto all people. Alright, stand
with me.
