Let's read verses 14-16 again,
2 Peter 1. Knowing that shortly I must put
off this, my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath
showed me. Moreover, I will endeavor that
ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in
remembrance. For we have not followed cunningly
devised fables when we have made known unto you the power and
the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. But we were eyewitnesses
of his majesty." Now, the Lord, through Peter,
reminds God's people then and now, again and again. He reminds us throughout this
letter of the certainty of His Word. Peter writes much about
the Word of God, doesn't he? He reminds us that this is God's
Word. Up there in verse 20 and 21,
he said, I want you to know this first. You need to know this
first. You need to understand this from
the outset. In the beginning, you need to
understand, realize this, keep this in mind, that no prophecy
of the Scripture, that is, no passage from God's Word, the
Old Testament is what he's talking about. And it applies to the
New. But none are of any private,
that is, personal interpretation. But the prophecy came not in
old time by the will of man. Isaiah didn't just decide one
day to write a book, nor did Jeremiah, nor did Ezekiel, nor
did Moses. None of them did. None of them.
And he said you need to keep that in mind, that this is not
the words of men. Are you with me? Keep that in
mind, he said. I'm going to keep reminding you
of this. This is God's Word. These men, these holy men of
God, spoke as they were moved or spoken to by the Holy Ghost. You see, God in sundry times
and diverse manners spake unto the Father, not out loud, but
by the prophet. So he keeps reminding us throughout
this that this is God's Word and everything that has been
written of the past, everything that was written concerning the
past, it really happened. It really came true. It came
to pass. Whatever God said, it came to
pass. And everything that God says will happen. He says that
in chapter 3. God is not slack concerning his
promise, as some men count slackness. He's on his own schedule, see. But he said it will come to pass.
Whatever God says is going to happen in the future, it will
come to pass. Peter keeps reminding us of that.
We need to be reminded of that, don't we? I just saw the headlines
in the morning paper, and I started to buy it. I started to buy the
paper and went to get it for the whatever, to be honest with
you, for the sports paper. I say shallow mind. At least
that's what Todd told me. A shallow mind goes straight
to the sports page. Anyway, I saw the headlines and
it said, Coming Economic Disaster. So I didn't buy it. I didn't buy it. I don't want to
read that. They don't know anyway. But I tell you, there is a disaster
coming, and it will happen. Everything ever written by the
one who said that has happened. You see? Heaven and earth will
pass away and all the words of men will pass away, but Christ
said not one word of mine shall fail. Not one word. God said
not one word. Till all be fulfilled. So Peter
keeps reminding us that. And he tells us that there will
be scoffers and mockers in the last days, the very last days.
Now, this is the last days. You'd have to be totally blind
not to recognize it. Our Lord said to those Pharisees,
you can discern the face of the sky, can't you see the sign of
the times? That's how you see. Isn't that
what gives eyesight, scripture? It's like a glass, it's like bifocals. And scriptures are
very clear concerning the last days. gives particular and exact
details concerning the times, and folks, we're in it. And he
said in the last days, just for the sake of time, chapter 3,
he said, there'll come scoffers and mockers walking after their
own lusts, saying, where's the promise of his coming? He keeps
saying he's coming, and he's not coming, and everything continues
like it used to, always has. Everything's going like it always
has. You know, the millennium came and went, didn't it? And
that's what they all scoffed and mocked and said, see, nothing's
happened yet. Well, of course it didn't. Charles,
of course it didn't, because God said, at a time when you
think not. When men say peace and safety. Everything's fine now. Don't have anything to worry
about. sudden destruction, he said. And he said they deny,
there in 2 Peter 3, they deny the creation. They deny the creation. It's
so clearly revealed. The heavens declare that. The
firmament showeth its handiwork. Day unto day uttereth speech.
There's not a language in where the voice of the Creator is not
heard. Even animals are out there singing,
singing. God is, God is. Birds are singing. Why do birds sing? It's amazing
how those little creatures sing. Isn't it, Barbara? It's amazing
how those things sing so beautifully. They don't have the mouth like
we do and lips and tongue. They sure sing beautifully, don't
they? What are they singing? What are
they saying? Folks don't recognize the tune. I do. Don't you? It's
the song of Moses. They're singing the song of Moses.
Everything is. The trees, the wind has been
blowing a lot lately. The trees have been making this
sound. What are they saying? Right? You see it as day in the
day uttered speech, and night showeth knowledge, and night
stars come out, and so forth. The heavens. See, God's eternal
power in God is clearly seen by the things that are made,
clearly seen, and they're without excuse. But what it is that the natural
man doesn't want there to be a God, doesn't like that There
is a God, so he rejects God. They reject God. So this is written
to God's people, to remind them. God's people, believers, saints.
And he says in verse 16, this is no fable. This is no cunningly
devised fable. That is, a bunch of men didn't
get together and come up with an elaborate hoax. or elaborate
scheme to try to perpetuate the story of an imposter named Jesus. They didn't get together and
say, now there were some who got together and said, we're
going to quiet this story down. Remember that. After the Lord
was crucified and rose from the grave, there were some fellows,
some evil men that tried to perpetuate a lie and say he didn't rise
again. Say they stole his body, but that didn't last long. But
this story that has contingent from the beginning, it has lasted. They've tried to quieten it down,
they've tried to twist it and pervert it. This was no story
crafted or come up with by cunning men. No, no, no. Peter said, we. Simon was a fisherman,
wasn't he? in a boat one day with Andrew,
his cousin, and over there another one was James and John, his other
cousin, his brother, and their father, and other fishermen and
all that. They weren't religious men. They
weren't religious men. They weren't interested in God.
They were fishermen. Someone once made the statement
that fishermen are known for their bluff honesty, tell it
like it is. They're generally not afraid
of anybody, rough, gruff fishermen. They tell it like it is, except
when it comes to the fish they caught. At any rate, these men, somebody came by one day, and powerfully, And they were never the same. Never the same. They said we,
Peter, Peter says we, James, John, Matthew, later Paul, me. These were faithful and true
witnesses these men were. Faithful and true. Because of
what they professed, they died for it. Their tormentors said
to them, if you just renounce this, we'll let you go. They
said, we can't. We can't. We can't help but speak
the things we've seen and heard. We can't do it. Choosing rather
to suffer death, counting not their lives dear unto them. We
can't. We're faithful witnesses. We've got to tell what we've
seen and heard. Well, what did you see and hear,
Peter? What did you all hear and see? What was it? He said, we made known unto you,
this is not made up, we made known unto you the power and
the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. And we were eyewitnesses
of his majesty. God let me, right now, Just declare
a little bit of His power and His coming and His majesty. That's what preaching is all
about. That's what they did. That's what any preacher's worth
his salt, any true preacher does. He preaches Christ, His power,
the One who came and His majesty, His lordship. He says, We've
made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ. Go with me to John. John 17. Peter said, We made
known unto you the power of Jesus Christ. What we had declared,
what we saw, what we heard, what we experienced was the power
of the Lord Jesus Christ. Now, there have been down through
the ages powerful men and women. Down through history there have
been men and women who reigned over kingdoms. They were seemingly
powerful men and women who came in time, and they reigned over
kingdoms. They had some power. They had
some power to kill or to keep alive. They had some
power to raise up to exalt, to honor, to promote, and to cast
down, didn't they? Some power, some amount of power.
Some of them had more than others. But they all came and went. They had some power, every one
of them, all these great figures, powerful figures throughout history,
they had some power, some power. that they lost it, all of it. Let me ask our young people.
Probably the older people don't know these names. And boy, they're listening now.
Who am I going to ask? Who should I ask? I love it when you pay attention.
Okay, Lauren, there you are. Do you know who Attila the Hun
is? At least admit it. What about,
I had to write it down, what about Magus Alexandros? He was the most powerful man
maybe in the history of the world, one of them. That's his real
name, Alexander the Great. So what about Neil C. Cumm? You don't know any of those
guys? These were some of the most powerful
human beings to ever live. A fellow like Attila the Hun
went through all of Europe and just slaughtered everybody in
his path. The whole world lived in fear
of that man. Mao Zedong, the whole nation
of China, largest on this planet right now, is still under the
grips of what he started. Alexander the Great, he was thirty-three
years old when he died. Thirty-three years old, and he
ruled the world. He literally ruled the then-known
world. There were other parts of the
world that he didn't know about. India, Asia, Africa, Egypt, but he died. Now let me ask you, Lauren, do you know who Jesus Christ
is? You do, don't you? He has all
power. And he's always going to have
it. And you're under it. Now, tell me who we ought to
be studying in history. It should rightfully be called
his story. The very calendar was written,
according to him, before Christ and A.D., Anno Domino, in the
year of our See, every tongue is forced to confess it. You
look at the calendar, and it tells you you're under the power
of, whether you know it or not, whether you believe it or not,
whether you accept it or not. You see, you don't make Him Lord. This book tells us that long
before the world began, God did that. in Psalm 2. It says, long
before this world ever existed, God made him Lord. Over what? Look at it. John 17,
verse 1 and 2, the Lord is speaking and he says, lifted up his eyes,
Father, the hour has come, glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may
glorify thee. See, the Lord Jesus Christ is
about to be lifted, high and lifted up on Calvary's tree.
at twelve noon. Isn't that amazing? And the sun
of righteousness is going to be lifted up at his pinnacle,
at his peak. Every day. I just quoted that
to you from Psalm 19. The sun arises as a type, as
a picture, as a story that shouts to all the universe, Christ is. Everybody is under his reign's
rule. There's nothing out from under his all-seeing eye. In
verse 2, Christ says, "...as thou hast given him power." How
much power? What degree of power? All power. Power over what? All flesh. You and I are flesh, aren't we?
Attila the Hun was flesh, wasn't he? Genghis Khan, Shankar Sheikh,
name one, Hitler, they were flesh, weren't they? Julius Caesar was
flesh, wasn't he? Pilate was flesh, wasn't he?
Pharaoh was flesh, wasn't he? Isn't that what God said to Pharaoh? For this purpose have I raised
you up. All power. He's the one with
all authority over all. And not just this little then-known
world. This is the then-now-known world. This is all us poor worms can
see, isn't it? This is all us poor worms can
see. This is it, us, no more. Oh, no, there are principalities
and powers and spiritual rulers and wickedness in high places,
the prince of the power of the air and so forth, and we can't
even see. Who reigns, who controls them? He does. Come on now, this
is glorifying to the Lord Jesus Christ. All authority. All power. Not some. How long
is it going to last? His government, His reign, His
rule. How long? When shall it end? Never. That's
what He said when He was born. That's what God said when He
was born. Of His government, there'll be
no end. Everything's on His shoulder.
God has given all things into His hands. All power. over all flesh, to
give eternal life. Most will say they admit that
Jesus has power, that God is God. But now, here is where the
rubber meets the road. Here is where they begin to deny
his power. Here is where they begin to talk
about another Jesus. Here's where they're rocked,
not like I rock. Here's where they're God's not God at all.
We'll find out. Eternal life, where that's concerned.
The souls of men. No, no, no, that's not in Jesus'
power, they say. No, not that. No, everything
else, but not that. That's in man's power. No, it's
not. That's what Christ said, that
he should give eternal life. To whom? To many as Lenny? Did
it say that? Does it say that, Catherine?
Whoever lets Him be Lord, then He can be their Lord? Does it
say that, does it? You used to believe that, didn't you? Everybody
in here used to believe that. But now you're eyewitnesses of
His power! How much power? All power! Sovereign
power. Complete power over you! Over you! over the minds, the
hearts, the wills, the souls of men. God says all souls are
mine. God says the king's court is
in the hands of the Lord. Boy, that's power, isn't it?
Turn it with us, like a river. The wills of man. It's God that
worketh in us both to what? Wills. I've got a free will,
you can't do anything with that." Then you must be God. The person
that says that must be God, because there's only one will being done.
Whoever has a free will is God! You understand that, don't you,
Jeb? This is not a matter of doctrine. This is not a point
of doctrine to be argued. This is who's God and who's not. This
is who has power and who does not. This is whose choice it
is, whose prerogative it is. It's whose power it is. It's
who does the saving and who does not. Isn't that the issue? This is who gets the glory. Isn't that the issue? Who gets
the glory? Who's got power? Who's got power? And this is
what all of God's people, now and throughout eternity, are
saying to the top of their lungs. Unto Him be all power and glory
and honor, strength, everything. Do you like this? Now's the time
to start. Because you're going to be forced
to say it in glory. Hell's going to have to be saying
it, and they don't like it. People in hell didn't like it
on earth, but they're going to be forced to say it then. Right,
Henry? Right. But God's people, from
the heart, now and then and forever, say yes unto Him, unto Him, unto
Him, unto Him. Not unto us, unto Him. Power. Peter said, I didn't know Him,
didn't acknowledge Him, didn't think a thing about Him. I think
about me and the world and all this, and on my road to hell,
but God. in power sent his Son, the Word
of his power, and called me. See the power. How much power?
What power? What kind of power are we talking
about here? I've already been trying a little bit. Man, we
have this treasure, this great story in an earthen vessel. Oh,
how insufficient for these things. Paul said that and he saw, oh,
Paul saw a lot more than I've seen. I saw the same one, but
to a greater degree, didn't I? And if he said that, who could
tell this? Peter said, we saw him. John
said, we heard him, we touched him, we beheld him, his power,
his soul-saving, life-giving power. The power of his Word,
we felt it, we heard it, we experienced it. The power of his works, the
power of his will. He had absolute sway over us. absolute control over us at all
times. Power over the bodies and minds
and hearts and souls of all human beings. Power. He did what he
would, with whom he would, when he would. That's power, isn't
it? And nobody can say a thing about it. Or stay his hand and
say you can't do that. Whenever they say you can't do
that, it's exactly what he did. His will is eternal and unchangeable. His word stands forever, every
word of it. His work is complete, it's finished,
it's eternal, it's effectual. Now, that's power. That's our
Christ. That's the Christ. It's the only
one there is. It's the only one that can save you if he's willing. That's what we need to be asking
the Lord, who has free will. Lord, are you willing, if you
will? If you will. And Peter goes on
to say in our text, he said we were eyewitnesses of the coming
of the Lord. He came. He came. Oh, his first coming was
amazing. The shepherds out on the hillside.
They were awestruck. It was an amazing, an immaculate
conception. It really was. This virgin shall
conceive. She really was. They try to disprove
that now. They try. That's what, folks,
that's what that, young people, that's what that, I didn't read it and didn't see
it, but what is it? Da Vinci Code. That's what that's
all about. that they found where Mary was not a virgin and he's
born. That's what that's all about. Don't read that. Don't go see that. It's not worth
it. It's not. That's an elaborate
hoax is what that is. This is not. This is not. That's what Peter said. This
is no fable. We didn't make this up. He came. He came immaculately. Amazingly. Miraculously. Born
of a virgin. A child was born. Yes, it's the
Son. The eternal Son was given. Who is He? What is He? This thing.
The angel said, that holy thing. Well, who is it? Called His name. Wonderful. Full of wonder. Counselor. The mighty God. You know, preaching, what preaching
is, I can't preach by myself. I've got to have somebody with
me here. Call his name wonderful, counsel
of the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace,
the government's on his shoulder. Amazing. He came, then he lived,
and Peter said, oh, we saw him, he's coming. Do you remember
the story of Sheba going to see Solomon? She thought she knew
something. She just read about him. She
just heard about him. But when she saw him, and then finally, the thing that
finally broke her spirit, she thought she was somebody. She
thought she could do some things. She thought she knew some things,
Kelly, but when she saw Solomon in all his power and his majesty
and his glory, and finally the thing, she saw him walking up
those steps to that throne. greatest man on earth, and sit
down where he reigned over the greatest kingdom on earth." She's
broke. She came somebody, she ended
up a nobody. Came a rich woman, she left home
poor, except what Solomon gave her. And Christ said a greater
than Solomon is here. And when you see Him as He is,
what? How? ascending to the right hand of
the majesty on high, where he ever lives, where he sits right
now. Doing what? He's not at anybody's
door. He's sitting down on a throne,
reigning and ruling over all flesh. And there'll be no more
spirit in you. No more, I'm going to do this,
I'm going to do that. No more, I, I, I. No more of
that. It's just the Lord will. See, he's Lord. He is Lord. Not
just with lips, but you believe from the heart. You know from
the heart, he controls me. I'm in his hand. My very breath,
in whose hands my breath is. He can stop it. That's what he does. I kill,
he said. I kill. I make alive. Anybody that ever died. I talked
about those leaders had some power to kill some people. God
says about Christ, anybody that dies, everybody that dies, I
kill. Oh, there are means that God
did it. Christ the Lord did it, right?
And you know, that's our peace, isn't it? That's all our comfort,
isn't it, Nancy? That if the Lord takes somebody,
it's the Lord. It's the Lord. And though it's sad and we miss
him and weeping endures for a night, but joy. Someday when that sun
rises really, completely, we go and we can look directly into
him. We'll know as we've been known.
and those righteous men whom he hath taken early, no, not
early, according to his time. We'll see them there, and we'll
be there, and we'll praise him for his power and his coming
and his glory, to the praise of the glory of his grace, in
whom we first trusted." See, this is who we trust. We trust
God, Christ, the Lord. Eyewitnesses, he said, of his
majesty, whose reign shall never end. And we heard his voice,
said, This is my beloved son, and whom I am well pleased."
If you heard the radio, good, I'm going to repeat it.
Because this is all God has to say to human beings. You know that? People want God
to speak from heaven, don't they? I'll be honest, and if you're
honest, you'll say it too. Lord, if you'd just speak to
me. Isn't that what Philip said? Hmm? If you'd just show me the
Father. If you'd just show me God. I
believe you. I believe you, Lord. But if God would just speak out loud,
we would really believe him. No, no, they wouldn't. No, they
wouldn't. Because he did. He did. He did. God spoke, but very seldom
did God speak out loud. In the Old Testament, He spoke
out loud, but only to the prophets. He spoke to the people. Do you
remember the Israelites said, Don't let God speak to us? Do
you remember that? Don't let Him speak to us. Because
the voice of the Lord breaks the cedars. The voice of the
Lord causes the hinds to calve. The voice of the Lord is powerful. But God spoke through men. And he did speak. It was God speaking
through his men. Some didn't believe it. They
rejected the men. They rejected God. And then in
the New Testament, Paul wrote in Hebrews 1, In these last days
spoken unto us by his Son, God was manifest in the flesh. His
name was Jesus, the Christ. And he came and God spoke. Whatever
Jesus Christ said, he said, the words that I speak, I speak not
of myself, but the Father that dwelleth in me. Whatever Jesus
Christ said is God speaking. You see, people don't believe,
they don't even believe Jesus Christ. They don't believe this
book is God's book. They don't even believe what
Jesus, they think he's a good man, you know. They think he's a good
man. They like what he did for mankind.
They think he's kind of like old Mohammed, you know. Right?
Buddha, good man. Confucius and Mahatma Gandhi
and all these things. Good man and all that. He's not
God. Oh, yes he is. Yes he is. Yes, he is. See, God has already
spoken. God came down in the flesh and
spoke. But here's condemnation. People
reject it. They reject it. And they still
did. They still did. And God spoke from heaven when
God was on earth. Now, if that isn't a mystery.
God was on earth in Christ, but yet God spoke from heaven. That's
God. And God said twice out loud for
whoever was there to hear him, for us to read, this is my beloved
son. This is the only manifestation
of God that any human being will ever see. This is the only image
of God. People come up with all kinds
of images, don't they? Don't they, Vicki? All kinds of images
of God. God said, I have one image, the express image of God.
It's Jesus Christ. Right there is God. This is my
beloved. It's the only God you'll ever
see, the only God you'll ever speak to, the only God who'll
ever speak to you, the only God you'll ever deal with. The only
one. He's the way. Nobody gets to me by Him, but
by Him. He's the truth. You want to know who I am? There
I am. I am that I am. And the light. You don't have
Him, you don't have light. You're in Him, you have light.
You're out of Him, you don't have light. You're in Him, you're
accepted. You're in Him, you're holy. I
don't blame one reproval in my sight. This is Him. Proto. Piotr. Confess Him. That's Him. That's it. That's all God has to say to
human beings. Christ is all. Got a question?
Christ is all. And God never spoke again. Why
shouldn't he? Why doesn't God speak out loud?
What more can he say to you than he has said to the soul that
who to the Lord Jesus for refuge hath led? What do you need? Who do you need rather? And I love this thought. Why
doesn't God speak out loud? Because He's not trying to get
anybody to believe him. He never did. Maybe he never
did speak out loud. Why? Because he's not trying
to. If you wanted people to believe you, wouldn't you go in person
and tell them and talk to them and call them up and all that?
God's not wanting anybody to do anything. God's not trying
to do anything. Huh? God's not trying to get people
One time they wanted to make Christ king, remember? They wanted
to make him king. And he wouldn't let them do that.
Why? He already was king. And one time, you know, they
all professed to believe him and all that, and he says he
didn't commit himself to it. He knew what was in him. They
didn't believe him. He looks on the heart. He's not trying to get anybody
to believe in him. You're not speaking out loud,
you're not trying to get anybody to believe anything. But he's
revealing himself, in person, in private, personally, individually,
to all his sheep. He said, they'll hear my voice,
every one of them. And the world won't hear it. When it thunders,
Debra, you know what God's saying, don't you? A stranger's voice you won't
hear. You heard his voice. And it broke that cedar, didn't
it? It caused a hind to calf. New
birth. Oh, my. And why doesn't God speak
out loud? Can I give you a few more reasons?
Why? Because in the wisdom of God,
we all have the same Word of God. This is wisdom, Brother
John. God's already spoke. Nothing
more needs to be said. There's no new revelation. There's
no new undiscovered book, you know, that a fellow named Moroni
discovered back in 18-something. That's anti-Christ. What's been written is written,
and we have it. And forever, O Lord, thy word
is settled in heaven. And we all have the same word,
the same word. The Chinese over there, they
have the same word. I'm believing, preaching, declaring
the very same thing that 3,500 years ago Moses believed. The
same word, the same word. Hadn't changed a bit. There's
more of it now, the completed revelation of God. But I'm preaching
and believing the same word of the same God concerning the same
salvation. Isn't that wisdom, Jeanette?
That way some fellow over here can say, I've got a new revelation.
I immediately say, no, you don't. You're a liar. And to the law and to the testimony,
if they speak not according to this work, no liar. Like God is like. God's not him. Same word. We all have the same word. Isn't
that wonderful? A doctor has to read the same thing as a dishwasher. And as we noted too, that this
is more honoring to God. You know, a man is only as good
as his word, isn't he? He really is. Pharisees and all
that say and do not. They say and do not. And people
are real smooth words. and fair speeches deceive the
hearts of the simple. But whatever God says, it comes
to pass. That's how you know. And faith
takes him at his word. It's easy to believe what you
see, isn't it? It's easy to believe. It doesn't
take faith. It doesn't honor the person, does it? It doesn't honor the person.
But if I tell you, Stephen, if I tell you I'm going to do something, and you say, okay. I say, go
down here and I'm going to meet you at a certain, certain time.
Wait on me. I'll be there. Wait on me. And I'm going to do this. And you go. You've honored me. You've taken me at my word. Well, faith takes God at his
word. It honors him. He says, I have
come. Well, I hadn't seen him, but
I believe him. Whom had he not seen, I love
him. He says, I'm coming again. Well,
he did and he shall. He says, wait. I say, okay. Take him at his word. It honors
God. He says, repent. Repent. That means renounce everything
about you to God. Against thee and thee only have
I done now. Repent. He says repent and believe
on the Lord Jesus Christ. That he's all. He's your only
hope with God. Only hope. Name something. He's all. And he says confess him. before
everybody in believer's baptism. That's what he said to do. See,
we have this sure word of prophecy, you do well to take heed. Take
heed. As a light that shineth in a
dark place. Isn't it, doesn't this? Oh my. Like I said, I didn't buy the
morning paper because it's the same old, same old, same old
lies, same old left wing, I mean, same old Roanoke Times, it has
all of its agendas and issues to promote from men, corrupt
men that are going to do it without the facts. Right, Hannah? Right.
It's all good. The words of men. It's corrupt.
This is the incorruptible word of the living God who cannot
lie. And I read this and it really sheds a lot of light on this. I've gotten peace and joy. I read what they say, bad news,
bad news, bad news. I read this, and boy, it's good
news. It may come hell or high water. It may come economic disaster. Somebody's coming. And that's what we're waiting
on. And it won't be a disaster for us, Jerry, will it? See that
you look for such things. Oh, he says, it's going to be
joy. without speaking, everlasting. And he never lied and he never
will. He can't do it. He's truth. He's truth. And so, you do well to take heed. He says, repent. He says, believe.
He says, confess me and believers, baptism. And that's what somebody's
going to do this morning. Somebody came to me last Wednesday
night, and I've seen it happen, came to me and said that they
would like to profess faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and believer's
baptism. So that's what we're going to
do right now, according to the divine command of Christ Jesus.
