This story goes with the story
of Abraham, his wife Sarah. And it's been eight years since
we looked at this story of Sarah, and almost reversed the order
of these two messages, thinking that the story of Abraham was,
I don't know, in my ignorance, thinking it
may be a greater story, but I was greatly blessed again in studying
this. I had forgotten the glory found in this story of Sarah. Look at chapter 11, verses 11
and 12. It says, Through faith also,
or that he is like Abraham Noah and Enoch, Abel, through faith
also. Sarah herself received strength
to conceive seed and was delivered of a child when she was past
age, because she judged him, God, that is, faithful, who had
promised. Therefore sprang there even of
one, and him, as good as dead, So many as the stars of the sky
in multitude, and as the sand which is by the seashore innumerable."
Sarah. This is the story of Sarah, a
barren woman. That's why Brother Mack read
Isaiah 54, saying, O barren. This is the story of a barren
woman in her old age, ninety years old. The Lord miraculously
caused her to conceive and gave her a child, a son of promise,
who represents the Lord Jesus Christ. But there's a story within
the story. That's why this was written.
That's why all the stories are written. The story of the miracle
of miracles, the greatest story of all, salvation, how that God
Almighty forms Christ in a barren, dead center. and makes them fruitful,
a fruitful bride or wife of his. That's the story in the story.
We're going to look at that. But first, let me say something
to our young ladies in here concerning marriage and childbearing. And
this needs to be said. And this is not my thoughts or
opinions. I'm telling you what God's Word
says about it. God has ordained that young women
marry and have children. To be barren and go childless
is a sad thing. A sad thing. There are several
in here who can attest to that. Sad both for the woman and if
she's married, for her husband. The first thing that God told
Adam and Eve was this. Multiply. Be fruitful and multiply. That's what he said. And he did
that in his wisdom and his goodness. He did that, number one, for
the continuance of the human race. And he also did that for
the happiness and the joy and the fulfillment of Adam and Eve. Lessons in life, both natural
lessons and mostly spiritual lessons. You learn something
of the Father's love and so forth and the new birth and so on.
And for maturity and to learn something of selflessness. And he also ordained that we
have children for our old age. for our old age, for our health.
Our parents helped us for years, didn't they? Well, then it's
our turn when they get old. It's our reasonable service. And it's a good thing to help
for our joy and for our companionship in old age. The Lord instructed Paul to instruct Timothy and
Titus to instruct the young ladies. He said, you tell them, the young
women, to marry. Don't have children outside of
marriage or else your children are unclean. But marry, bear
children, guide the house, be a keeper at home. If you have
children, your first responsibility is to them. Young ladies, beside discipleship
to Christ, beside that, there is no greater calling, no higher
calling on earth than to be a wife and a mother. No greater calling. No greater
joy. No greater joy. And if you are
hoping to marry someday, look for a believer. Marry in the
Lord. You're going to have trouble
regardless. That's what Paul said. You're
going to have trouble in the flesh, even among believers.
But oh, the trouble if you don't marry someone who knows and loves
the Lord. Marry a believer, have children.
This is what God said. They are your career. That will
be your career. That will be your career. Do not presume upon the Lord's
mercies. Do not presume to think that
I will have a career and then someday I will have children. It may not happen. It may not
happen. If the Lord wills, you will.
And if not, you won't. Now some ladies, the Lord just
does not give children to them. That's His purpose. That's His
will. We have some in here. It wasn't His will. It wasn't
His good pleasure. We tend to think, well, I'll
have children when I get ready. Well, that's what men and I thought,
didn't we? And we could not. We could not. And you know, the Lord gives
in His purpose, unknown to us why, but He often gives children
to those that don't want them and doesn't give children to
those that do. That's up to the Lord. That's His will. And concerning this, though,
the fact is the time is short. The time is short, and it remains
that those who have wives, those who have children, be as though
they had none. And there are many old folks
in here now, their children are gone. That needs to be said. That needs
to be said from God's Word. He ordained it for... Because
being without children is a great trial. There's some in here that
experience that. It's a tough trial for the wife
and the husband and the man. But that's the Lord's will. Now go back to this story here
of Sarah found in Genesis chapter 18. The Lord gave this woman,
there are several barren women in scriptures whom the Lord miraculously
gave children. Sarah is one, and Elizabeth,
you know, is one, and Ruth. Ruth not only was without child,
but she was a widow, a young widow. Oh, the Lord gave her
a child, didn't He? My, my. Genesis 18, the story
of a barren woman whom we read of received strength, Sarah.
And God told her that she would have a child. one of Genesis
18. The Lord appeared unto him, Abraham,
in the plains of Mamre. And he sat in the tent door in
the heat of day. The Lord appeared unto him. Now,
who's that? The Lord appeared to him. He
talked with someone. Who was it? No man had seen God
at any time. the only begotten Son, he had
declared, this is the Lord Jesus Christ. That's who came to see
him, to see Abraham. And my, my, it says he lifted
up his eye and looked, three men stood by him, the Lord and
two others. There's a whole story here, but
we don't have time to bring out everything in it. But Abraham
was so blessed in the Lord coming to him. That he ran, it says,
he ran and told Sarah, I said, quick, fix some bread. Make some
bread. He begged, pleaded with the Lord
and these two men to dwell with him. And they did. They stayed
a long while. And Sarah fixed bread and he
told his servant to get the finest calf out there and cook it. and
slay it and cook it. It took a lot of preparation,
didn't it? A lot of time went by. He had
to go find a calf, kill it, knead the dough. How long did they
stay? It doesn't say, but oh, how blessed
Abraham was. He thought it was his highest
privilege, didn't it, to entertain. You see, Scripture says, Be not
forgetful to entertain strangers. Some have entertained angels
unaware, and Abraham entertained the Lord himself. My, my. Like the disciples of old, you
know, on the road to a maze. What a blessing. The Lord came
in his house, and oh, how the Lord blessed him. The news that
he gave to him. Down in verse 9, look down there.
The Lord said unto Abraham, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said,
Behold, in the tent. And he said, the Lord said, I
will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life,
and lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it
in the tent door which was behind them. And it says that now Sarah,
Abraham and Sarah were old. Sarah was ninety years old. Abraham
was a hundred. Well stricken in age ceased to
be with Sarah. long time ago after the manner
of women. So Sarah, it says, laughed within
herself, scoffed at this, saying, After I am waxed old, shall I
have pleasure, my Lord? That's what she called Abraham. My husband being old also, she
laughed within herself. like Abraham, like all of God's
people. Sarah was not born a believer. She was an unbeliever. We just looked at Abraham. He
was a heathen, an idolater. So was Sarah, an unbeliever. And she heard this and she scoffed
within herself. She mocked, she laughed at this
news. This utter, utter impossible news. Something that with her
and her husband was utterly impossible, and she laughed at it. See, this word was spoken to
Abraham, but overheard by Sarah. This is good. She overheard it,
she heard it, just like whenever You know, you can be talking
to some people here and someone else be talking to someone over
here, and you mention their name, just mention their name. For
some reason, you're really attuned to your name. And she heard. And you know, the Scriptures
are written to God's people. They hear it. Abraham, the Lord came
first to Abraham, told him this covenant, this promise. And he
heard it. He believed. He laughed, too. But he did believe. All right? Sarah overheard it. And Paul wrote this one time.
He said, Have they not all heard? Have not all men and women heard
this, the truth? Yes, they have. Men can't plead
ignorance. If you have a Bible, you hold
the truth. You hold the truth. So men and
women cannot plead ignorant. Have they not all heard? Yes.
And most people, yea, all people at first scoff at it. Laugh at
it. Don't. All this talk of God being
sovereign. They scoff at it. So look at
this. The Lord rebuked Sarah. She wasn't
even there. Verse 13. The Lord said to Abraham,
why did Sarah laugh? Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying,
Shall I of a surety bear a child which am I old? Is anything too
hard for the Lord? At the time appointed, I will
return unto thee according to the time of life, and Sarah shall."
There it is again, I will. Why is she laughing? I will and
she shall. And Sarah, this scared her to
death. Yes, she did. Yes, it did. The
Lord's voice is powerful in it. When the Lord speaks, even in
an offhand way to somebody else, and you hear it, it creates fear. This is the first thing the Lord
does in everyone He saves. It creates fear. Sarah didn't
even say this out loud. She didn't laugh out loud. She
said she did it within herself. Within. David said this, Lord,
thou hast searched me and known me. You know my thoughts afar
off. Scripture says of the God who
is God, all things are naked and open before the eyes of Him
with whom we have to do. God knows our thoughts. This
is what happened to Peter, Simon Peter, that day on that boat,
remember? He didn't know the Lord. Master,
okay, we've been fishing all night and caught nothing, but
nevertheless, it's your Word. I'm going to prove him wrong,
boys. Okay, we'll shove off, okay. And they went out there
and the Lord said, cast your net on the right side. And it
took in so many fish. And Peter thought, if he knows
every fish in the ocean, he knows what I was just thinking. And
he dropped his knees. The fear of the Lord is the beginning
of wisdom. This is the God of the Bible
that men must become acquainted with. And they will. All of God's people will. They'll
come to know Him. That's eternal life. To know
the living and true God. Living and true God. God in mercy
creates this sphere of the Lord. As Sarah starts trembling. To
this man will I look, he that is poor and of a contrite spirit
and trembling at my word." Why did Sarah laugh? What are you
laughing at, Sarah? Sarah said, look at this, verse
15, Sarah denied saying, I laugh not. Oh, men are so rebellious, aren't
they? So sad, so full of self-love and self-conceit. I didn't say, yes, you did. Yes,
you did. I heard you. Nay, but thou didst
laugh. The Lord in mercy must convict
us, and we won't be convicted of it. The Lord must grant us
repentance. It's the goodness of God that
leads us to repentance. We won't repent unless God gives
us repentance. The gifts and calling of God. Repentance. Faith. All these
things are the gift of God. Fear. We won't fear the Lord
unless he causes us to fear, unless we hear his voice. That's
what the Scripture says. There is forgiveness with thee
that thou mayest be feared. Well, this scared Sarah. Look
at verse 14 and 15. Well, we looked at that. She
denied it, and the Lord said, No, but you did lie. And all
of us were skeptics. All of us were unbelievers. All
of us were mockers and scoffers at God and at the truth, weren't
we? Ah, but God in mercy, if like
Sarah, If He chose us to reveal Himself to us, to give fear to
us, to give repentance and faith, we're going to be one of His
own. We're going to believe the truth. We're going to laugh, and it's
going to be a different laughter. Sarah, in the end, she's laughing, all
right. Not laughing at God. Not at the truth. Laughing because
of it. a holy laughter. And I didn't
choose this because of that remarkable night. It just came up. Now, the Lord said she conceived
strength. Through faith, she received strength. Sarah didn't conceive because
she believed. Oh, no. She conceived because
God said so. Before she believed, God said,
I will, and you shall." God didn't ask her anything. Will you receive
this gift? I'm offering you a child if you'll
accept it. God didn't say that, did He? No, neither does He say
that to any sinner about Christ. He doesn't offer Christ to anybody.
He doesn't offer salvation to anybody.
He saved. God gave her faith. God gave
her desire to do what she could not and would not do. Gave her
a desire for something she could not do. She lost that desire,
and would not do it. It's impossible. So Sarah received
the ability to conceive, a desire she hadn't had in years, and
even pleasure. We're going to talk about that
in a minute. Which was long gone. Chapter 21, go over there. Here's the fulfillment of that
promise of God. Chapter 21. It happened. Stay
with me, okay? Come on. It happened. It happened just like God said
it would, as does everything. Known unto God are all his works
from the beginning of the world. God spoke it. It will come to
pass. It happened. Look at verse 1
of chapter 21. The Lord visited Sarah as he had said, and the
Lord did unto Sarah. as he had spoken." You see that?
The Lord visited Sarah. Who visited who? The Lord visited
Sarah. That's salvation. As he said, the Lord said, I'm
going to do this, and he did it. And he did unto Sarah as
he had spoken. For Sarah conceived and bare
Abraham a son in his old age at the set time. See that? at the set time of which God
had spoken to him. Sarah conceived and bore a son
at the set time. And now in verse 6, when she
brought forth that son, Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh. And all that hear this will laugh
with me, just like you're laughing now. Because you know what she's
going through. You've experienced, if you're
a believer, if you're a daughter of Sarah, the daughter of Abraham. She conceived in old age, bore
a son, a miracle of God. Because this is our God. God
who worketh all things according to his will. God who purposes
all things. God who purposes things and they
come to pass. God who spoke and will also do
it. God who predestined all things. That's not John Calvin's doctrine. That's God's. God who predestined
all things and all things come to pass because He predestined
it. God who according to His power, by His power, at the appointed
time, We are born into this world, and at the appointed time, God
who has set our bounds, the number of our days we cannot pass, God
says, I give life, I make alive, I kill. God who gives life, God
who takes life. That's God. And this most especially
applies to salvation, eternal life. And that's the story within
the story, okay? The real meaning behind this
story. The reason this happened. How
Christ is formed in His people from one as good as dead. The
greatest story of all. The greatest miracle of all.
Look at it with me with new eyes, okay? Spiritual eyes. This is
a story of a barren woman. That's sad. It's sad. But there's
something much sadder than to go without children in this life.
Something much sadder than that. It's for a woman or a man to
be born into this world and live your whole life without Jesus
Christ. It's to be born into this world,
born of God, but never born again. I mean, born of man, but never
born of God. That's sadder, much sadder. It's much worse. It's eternally
sad. To be barren, to be without God,
without Christ, without knowing God, no faith, no fruit. Man
was created for the glory of God. And to never bear that fruit
to the glory of God is a life wasted. It's a vain life. A life that should never have
been lived. Except for the purpose of God. That's right. He that hath the Son Hath life. He that knows the Son, he that
hath Christ in him, the hope of glory, he that hath the love
for the Son, he that rejoices in the Son, hath life. He that hath not the
Son, hath not life. Hath not life. Better to have
never lived than to die without Christ. That's right. But here's salvation. You see,
no matter how barren, no matter how sinful, no matter how old, though impossible with man, is
anything too hard for God? Is anyone too barren? Anyone
too hard? Is anything too hard for the
Lord? Yes, with man it's impossible.
Many things are impossible with man. You know, there are people too
hard for us, aren't there? We try to get through them. And
people too obstinate for us, we just can't convince them of
anything. People too bad, too down, too low. People too high. Too smart. Can't deal with them,
can you? Too ignorant for us to do anything with them.
Anybody see anything? Anyone too hard for the Lord? No. The Lord gives illustration. He gives the broad spectrum here. Take, for instance, Saul of Tarsus. Okay? Paul, Saul of Tarsus. A self-righteous Pharisee. I
don't doubt that he was the most moral man at that time. I bet he bragged about what he
did do and what he did not do. I bet he was sincere about it. Blameless, he said. I was blameless.
Died in the woods. Self-righteous Pharisee. He didn't
need mercy. He didn't need grace. He didn't
need a substitute, a sin offer. He didn't have any sin that he
thought. Are you going to get through
somebody like that? Have you ever dealt with somebody like
that? Maybe you were such a one. Oh, is anything too hard for
the Lord? That's Saul of Tarsus. He's nothing
to me. The Lord came to him, brought
him down, didn't he? Brought him down. Then you've
got the opposite here. You've got the thief on the cross.
It was his whole life. He grew up a rebel with his parents
and left home and got involved in drugs and this and that and
the other. He was a worthless, lost son of Belial, wasn't he? Thief. robbery, committed murder
until finally, he's a death row criminal. If you today have tattoos
all over him, you know, and that animal look at his eye. You've
seen him, look like an animal covered, just a, just a, A life,
a total life in sin and degradation, hanging there on that cross.
Even in his dying hour, he's cussing the Lord of glory, his
only hope, in his dying hour. That man, he's a goner. That's
impossible. You can't deal with him. No,
you can't. With man, it's impossible. But
watch this, O Lord. Melts him. Changes his countenance. Breaks his heart. Gives him eyes to see the Lord
of glory. Opens his mouth. Lord. Salvation of the Lord. No matter
how old. No matter how bad. No matter
how low. No matter how high. No matter
how hard. Salvation of the Lord. I love
that story. See, I'm giving us hope here.
I'm not the Lord. Giving us hope. There's hope
for anybody. As long as this gospel is being preached, there's
hope. As long as the gospel is being preached, the door to the
ark is open. God's bringing clean and unclean
in. Oh, I love that story where the
Lord, you know, the man that was lowered down through the
roof The lame man, sick of the palsy. And the Lord said, oh,
I'm sorry, I'm laughing, I don't care. The Lord said to him, the
sweetest words a human being can ever hear, thy sins be forgiven
thee. Blood it out. Your record's gone. No condemnation. Holy, unblamable,
unreprovable in my sight. Why? How? Because I said so.
Because I'm going to the cross, and it's good as done before
the facts. Going to the cross to purge your sins and put them
away by the sacrifice of myself, because I live to make you righteous.
Whee! They're all gone. Oh, my. Well, then the Pharisees, you
know, the people standing around said, Who can forgive sins but
God? This is blasphemy. Not knowing what they said. Yes,
only God can forgive sins. And He just did. That's why we
believe Christ is God. You must. Because no one can
forgive sins but God. And if you believe not that I
am, He said, you'll die in your sins. But if you believe I am,
You'll die without them. That's good news. But then he
turned to them and he said, which is easier? Which is easier? To say unto
someone, take up your bed and walk? To give a lame man, born
lame, legs to walk? to say thy sins be forgiven them.
Which is easier? And they couldn't answer. Neither
one's easy. In fact, both impossible with
man. Impossible. You can't make someone
walk. No one ever has except Christ.
Impossible. By His power. And no one has
ever forgiven one's sin. of one man, except Christ, who
forgave them all. See, with man it's impossible,
but not with God. Is anything too hard for the
Lord? Telling him to walk on legs is easy, but putting away
his sin took him thirty-three years to accomplish that. The Lord saved many blind, haught,
lame, lepers, raised the dead. All of them pictures of the impossibility
of man saving himself blind. You know, there was a time you
couldn't see the truth. You couldn't see it. It was right
in front of your face. You couldn't see it. You couldn't
see it. You're blind. But God opened
your eyes. Lame, haught, lame. Leper. Dead. Is anything too hard for
the Lord? Even a dead man. He raises a
dead man. My, my. And every one of us,
like Sarah, scoffed at God and the truth, didn't we? In the
beginning. I remember, plainly, to my shame. I remember when
I was about 18 years old. Struck out. Cast off, you know,
on my own. And that was in the early 70s,
you know. If you grew up in the 60s and
70s, boy, you were enlightened. You were one of those, you know,
you knew everything. Your parents didn't know anything. And I remember, to my shame,
telling one of my friends at the time that I could disprove
everything my father had been preaching for years. I laughed
at it like it's old-fashioned, only the religion of ignorant
southern people. I hesitate to even tell that
story, but I'm just trying to show you how to. I'm not laughing
now. Here I am preaching it, Gabe. Like Saul of Tarsus, whose name
just happened to be Paul, my name just happened to be, they
marveled at him that he preaches the faith he once hated. And
I went back to that same fellow, Brother Gale. I went back to
him later, my conscience killing me, and told him, listen, I was
the ignorant one. I was the fool. Told him that. I'm not laughing anymore. I am
laughing, but it's a different kind of laughter. The Lord has
made me to laugh in joy. Now I have pleasure in things
I had no pleasure in. I now can do and want to do what
I never could do or wanted to do. Worship God. Love Christ. You're the truth. When will a
man be saved? When will a person be saved?
When they decide? No, sir. Salvation is not a decision
by man. No, sir. No, sir. If you made a decision, you can
make another one, can't you? If somebody talked you into something,
somebody else can talk you out of it. Not the Lord. Not if the Lord doesn't. Not if the Lord doesn't. Paul said, He said, here's when salvation
comes, when it pleases God, who separated me from my mother's
womb and called me by His grace to reveal His Son in me. Immediately
he said, I believe. That's when, when it pleases
God. And that's what gives us hope at the accepted time. At
a time acceptable. This is not fatalism. Election,
predestination does not make us fatalistic. It makes us hopeful.
We're hopeful. If our children, our spouses,
our parents, no matter how old. Does this give you some hope?
No matter how old. The thief on the cross. No matter
how low. If it's the Lord's will in due
time, at the appointed time, They will believe. That's my
hope. That was my parents' hope for
me. I heard a man told me later on, he said, I thought you were
a lost cause. He said, I thought you'd end
up in prison. Is anything too hard for the
Lord? Is there any prodigal too far off? Kelly, is there? Here I stand. His arms are not
short, Scripture says. His arms are not short. Oh, but
he's low. How low? On the bottom, in the
dregs. Where is he? In the cesspool,
on the dung heap. Oh, he's on the dung heap. He's burning with lust and passion. He's as good as gone. an ember
plucked as a bran from the burning. Plucked as a bran. I know. In due time, in the appointed
time, in the fullness of time, God will send forth His gospel,
His through the Holy Spirit. That's who Abraham represents
here, the Holy Spirit of Christ who came to Sarah, who knew Sarah,
who planted that seed in Sarah. And we're born, God's people
are born not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, the Word
of God which liveth and bideth forever, the Word of Christ.
Christ is formed in us. Sarah is every one of God's people,
the bride of Christ. Every one of them will be born
of God. They'll receive. As many as received
Him, to them gave He the power, the right to become the sons
of God. Not of the will of the flesh, not of the will of man,
not of blood, not of the will of the flesh, not of the will
of man, but they're born of God. To God be the glory. To God be the glory. And like Sarah, a barren woman,
they receive this seed, and Christ is formed in them, the Son of
God is formed in them as one from the dead. Christ in you,
the hope of glory. Is that you? Every one of God's
people, by the Word of God at a point in time, he sends the
gospel. He sends the gospel. And you
don't know when it will be, because it's at that point in time. No
man knows. I'm glad I don't know. I'm glad I don't know. We're
just sowers of seed. I'm glad. And no place has got
a glory. We don't know when that seed
is sown, do we? We don't know. We plant, we water,
but we don't know when. But God does. And in fullness
of time, every one of His people will hear the Word. They'll hear the Word, they'll
receive a love of the truth, the truth they want you to scoff
at. They'll love. Like Sarah said, shall I have
pleasure? When we first hear of Christ
and the Gospel, there's no beauty in Him that we should desire,
is there? He hath no form nor comeliness.
Pleasure? I didn't find pleasure in these
things. Did you? I was like that boy,
you know, with the plaques around the wall, you know. Remember
that? A little boy sitting in church
with his mother and there were plaques around the wall with
names on them. And he said, What are those? And she said, That's
the names of the boys that died in the service. And he said,
which one, morning or evening? That was me. I found no pleasure
in this thing. Oh, an interest, you know. But
now I do. What happened? You can't do that,
can you? Man can't do that. With man,
it's impossible. You can't make a young fella
leave this world who's full of vim and vigor and sit down and
sing the songs of Zion. He'd rather be singing the song
of the drunkard, you know. He'd rather be out there running
with his friend to leave them. That's of the Lord. That's of
the Lord. Same with an old fella. I'll close with this illustration.
You've heard it before, but as you know by now, I don't have
too many illustrations. My wife's grandmother, Martha
Lou Ballard, my dad would love to be telling
this story, but she was a Methodist. Boy, if you're born and raised
a Methodist, Huh, Robin? That was her. Anybody else? Mary? Born and raised in the Methodist? Jeanette? Boy, there's a bunch
of them in here. A bunch of heathens in here. Good. Or Baptists, for
that matter. Southern Baptists. Any Southern
Baptists in here? Buddy, she was born and raised
in the Methodist. You're not going to tell them
anything. And she lived for sixty-five years. Was it sixty-five? Sixty-seven
years. Seventy years. Seventy years
died in the Will of Methodist. Saved, you know. Self-righteous. Knowing all you need to know.
She really didn't know anything. Most people can't quote one verse
of Scripture. Was that you, Mary? Well, she
thought, you know, she's alright. We're her son. Saved her son,
Eddie, me and his dad. Revealed the truth to him and
to her mother, her daughter-in-law, Joy. And
so Eddie wanted his mother to hear the gospel. Malcolm, she
came, sat there like a knot on a log, didn't she? Okay, I've
heard it. Well, Annie just insisted that
she keep coming. And she sat there. And she sat
there until one day. Seventy years old. No less than
Abraham. No less miraculous than Sarah
having a child at ninety years old. A seventy-year-old died
in a womb in Memphis, dead in sin and dead in self-righteousness. All of a sudden, here's the truth. Realizes she's a sinner before
God. Realizes she has no good thing
in her. Realizes she has no righteousness.
Realizes she needs mercy at the hands of a holy God. Realizes
she needs grace. Realizes she needs blood for
her sin. Realizes that Christ is her only hope. And she was
baptized. You see, with man, that's impossible.
It's impossible. And not with God. Is anything
too hard for the Lord? No, sir. That's right there's
proof. And there's proof in here of
that, too.
