All right. Thank you, Sherry. We may sing that too, Senator,
if we have to. First Kings, Book of First Kings,
Chapter 5, as we continue this study on a greater-than-solemn,
Solomon-type Christ. This tonight is the temple which
Solomon built. The title of Christ and His Church,
Christ forming His Church, on His own clothes. Now, this temple
took seven years to build. Everything built in it was built
by hand, on a chain. Seven years to build. Seven years
of careful, perfect hand craftsmanship. And I'm going to try to describe
it in 40 minutes. It's funny, isn't it? It's impossible. It's impossible. Well, now this temple was, we're going
to say, made with stones made ready. And so we should make
ourselves ready right now, prepare ourselves to hear this. It's
too, it's too... I started studying this and it
just kept growing. And I thought this deserves 10
or 12 messages by itself. But I'm going to try it at one. I hope you'll give me your undivided
attention. It's far too glorious to not
give it our best. All right. If you have a... First we're
going to look at the purpose to build. Someone's purpose to
build this temple. And it was God, and He spoke
through David. Verse 5, Solomon's speaking here,
this is the Son speaking, and He said, But wait a minute, it
was David who purchased it, so Father who purchased it? That's right, Father and Son. They both purchased this thing
together. Verse 5, I purpose to build a house unto the name
of the Lord my God, as the Lord spake unto David my father, saying,
Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne and thy room, he shall
build a house unto my name. So, and we read over there in
1 Chronicles now that David gave Solomon his son, and the Father
gave the Son the pattern of everything. and told him to build his temple
according to this perfect pattern. The father is the one who purposed
it, and purposed everything in it, and gave the money, and all
the gold, the silver, and so forth, to weigh it. So the father
purposed it, and gave the pattern of it to the son to build it. You see the picture there? God
the Father purposed salvation. He said, Paul said, You're God's
building. You're God's building. The temple
of God. A habitation of God through the Spirit. God Almighty purposed
to save the people before the world began. It was God's purpose. To sustain salvation. God thought
it. And he gave it to his son to
build it, to build the church, to accomplish salvation, to build
his church. What do you do with the package?
God had a package. God had a purpose in everything.
In it, there's not one thing left to chance. No one, nothing
left to chance in God's salvation. No one to God, but all is one. So God purposed it. All things
work together according to God's purpose, for the saving of God's
people. All right? There's another person
involved in this story, a fellow named Hiram. Look at verse 1. sent his servants unto Solomon,
for he had heard that they had anointed Solomon king in the
room of his father, for Hyrum was ever a lover of David the
father. This fellow Hyrum loved the father,
and he also loved the son. Look now at verse 8. Verse 8. Hyrum sent to Solomon and said,
I have considered the things which thou sentest me for. Solomon
sent to Hyrum with a request for material. And he said, I'll
do all your desire. I'll do everything you tell me
to do. So this Hiram here represents, who would you think he might
represent? Three people involved. I hope he's here. He also does the bidding of the
father and the son. So he represents God's spirit. Hiram is a king. These were three
kings. Hiram was the king of Hiram and
Silas. David was the king. Solomon was the king. So three
royal and regal persons were together in this thing. Hiram
was the lover of the Father, sent for by Solomon, providing
men and materials according to Solomon's need. And that's God's
Spirit. He's also called the Spirit of
Christ. It works, provides, moves, and does the Father's purpose
at the command of Christ's love. It's above me. It's hard to preach
it, let alone hear it. So ask the Lord to open your
ears. So the Father purposed this thing,
salvation. Gave it to the Son to do. And
it was provided for by the Holy Spirit. All right? The means
which were used in the building of the temple. Verse 13. Verse
13, King Solomon raised a living out of all Israel. This is the
reason I like Cambridge Bible. In the center reference it says,
tribute of men. King Solomon raised a tribute
of men. The levy was 30,000 men. 30,000
men, Solomon raised. These men were the means. Men were the means of the building
of the temple. They were sent. 30,000 men to
work on the building. Who does that represent? How many men did the Lord use
from the very beginning? to preach his gospel, preach
his word. How many men, huh? From the beginning,
the building of his church. This is how we're built. It's
by the preaching. Built on the doctrine, the foundation
of the prophets, the apostles, the evangelists, the pastors,
the teachers, and so forth. This is how we're built up from
this most holy faith, by faithful men sent by God, right? Sent by Christ. So that's the
prophets, apostles, evangelists, pastors, teachers. In verse 15
says Solomon also had three score and 10,000 of mere burdens. That
is 70,000 laborers and 4,000, 80,000 hewers in the mountains. So that's another 150,000 involved
in the work. And what this represents is God
Almighty uses everything. Everything does the bidding of
God, the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. All things work
together, right, according to God's prayer. All people and
things, whether they know it or not, are doing God's bidding.
Yes, they are. Christ said, He hath given me
authority over all flesh. Isn't He? He's Lord over the
quick and the dead. Believers and unbelievers all
do His bidding, and it all works together for your good, the building
of God's church. Believe it. Someday we're going
to see, we're going to know what's going to happen. God's going
to make the whole picture. Right now, we see through glass
dimly. We see this thing is like a great big tapestry, and every
thread in it goes together, is woven intricately together by
a master craftsman to show a big picture of salvation. But we
pretty much see it like looking at the back side of a tapestry.
Everything looks disjointed, and we can't see clearly. But believe God, everything,
everything, somehow or another, you've got to believe it, somehow
or another, there's somebody and something over in Thailand, taking place right now, that
somehow or another is intricately woven, connected together with
all things. It's under the product. Somebody's
maybe going to symbolize, somehow or another, he's going to have
some bearing on some child of God somewhere. But they're good. I can't tell you what I'm trying
to say. But everything works together. Everything works together. And
we're going to spend the eternity, I believe, seeing how God has
done it all with just marvelous. So all labors, everything works
together according to God's purpose in this great thing of salvation.
That's the only reason the world exists. It's the only reason
the world exists. It's for the building of God's
kingdom in it. Not of this world, but from people. Understand that? So he had 30,000 hand-chosen
men, but all these laborers. All right, what was the location
of this flood? It doesn't tell us here, but over in 1 Chronicles
3, you don't have to turn there, I'll just tell you for the sake
of time. 2 Chronicles 3, it literally
says in verse 1, that this temple was built on Mount Moriah. That's the place where Abraham
offered his blood. In that place, on the very place,
that's where this temple was built. And, uh, now Barak, that's
where Abraham took his son, Isaac, up to offer him as a burden.
Sacrifice under the Lord and of God, and to stay it up, the
Lamb. The Holy Gospel provided a Lamb
to sacrifice. Picture Christ crucified. And
what is it? The Temple of God built upon? What is the Church of God built
on while it was built right there in Mount Calvary? That's exactly
where the Naples were built, and the building of this house. And the church is called the
New Jerusalem. Over in our study in the Revelation,
do you remember that? Called, and I beheld New Jerusalem
as a city. When it's all said and done,
this world has been destroyed and a new heaven, a new earth
created. He said, John said, I beheld
New Jerusalem, 1,500 miles square, ascending down from heaven. Replaced
with a new earth. It's called, that's what the
temple of the Church of God is called, New Jerusalem. And it
was built on Mount Calvary. It's all built on Mount Calvary. Where Christ died, where Christ
laid the foundation of His blood, where our graves are honorable,
laid the topstone to it with cries of what? Grace. Grace unto it. So that brings
me to the first thing in this building is the foundation, isn't
it? The foundation, chapter 5, verse 17. The king commanded,
and they brought great stones, costly stones, huge stones, to
lay in the foundation of the house. Now, you know there was a cheap
cornerstone. That all these stones were all precious, great, costly,
huge stones, and they all speak of the unsearchable riches which
are Jesus Christ the Lord. Christ being the chief cornerstone,
great, precious, and huge. My God, the Father. Oh, let me
read this to you from Ephesians 2. You can turn if you want to,
Ephesians 2. It says there, to turning us
to the temple of God. Verses 20 and 21 says, We are
built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus
Christ himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom, in him,
all the buildings fitly framed together grow unto an holy temple. So Christ is the foundation of
this temple. And the prophets and apostles'
doctrine, which they built on Christ, is what we're also built
upon. So great, costly, huge stone,
stones of God's youth, are the foundation of this house. It
all rests there. What are the dimensions of this
house? The dimensions. Chapter 6, verse
2 and 3. Chapter 6, verses 2 and 3. The
house which the King Solomon built for the Lord, the length
thereof was three score cubits. That's a cubit. Eighteen inches. Three score cubits. All right? It was the breadth
thereof was twenty cubits. The height, there are 30 cubits,
so that's 90 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 45 feet high. 90 feet long, 30 feet wide, and
45 feet high. You know how long and wide this
building is? 90 by 30. I'm not kidding. From the front
porch to the back of our news, we added at an adventure, we
added the back. We just said, well, how are we
going to build the 30th? Make it the 90th. How do we build
the 30th? I just thought that was pretty
proper. It's not quite 45 feet high. But anyway, 90 by 30 feet
wide by 45 feet high. So it's long and narrow and high. Long and narrow and high. God's
church. All the length of it. How long?
It reaches all the way back to Adam. God's church. All the way back to Adam, it
goes into the future, however long, until God, until Christ
comes, but it's narrow. Many are called it, few are chosen.
Few are chosen, but always high. It increases all the way to God.
It's lofty, high, and holy to God. All right? in this building,
verse 7. There were many different materials,
but principal material, verse 7. The house, when it was in
the building, was built of stone made ready. Oh, I never forget when I first
read this, years ago. The house, when it was in the
building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought
thither, it was already made ready. So that, or you know, so that
there was neither hammer, nor axe, nor any tool of iron heard
in the house while it was building. Stones were made ready. And what
of God's student? He says we're stones, doesn't
He? This is the principle. material
in the building were all made like Christ. It was that cheap
cornerstone. He said, Peter, you're that little
stone, a little rock. You're like Christ, a stone in
the building. Made ready, stones already made
ready before the world began. God made His people ready for
the building. For whom He did for? Who knows?
He did predestinate. Whom He did predestinate, He
called. Whom He called, He justified. Whom He justified, He glorified. God's people were made ready
before they were ever put in the building, in the temple.
They made ready. But, beloved, now are we the
sons of God. It does not yet appear what we
shall be, but now we're the sons of God. We've already been glorified
just to be a member of Christ's church as you are. Stones make
ready. No because. No tools will be
heard in the building. Nobody's going to pick up a little
chisel and say, I don't like it, and start working on himself. You don't make yourself a stone
in this building, do you? No. Scripture says He hath made
us His to be partakers. Scripture says He hath made us
to be partakers. Scripture says we are made in
the righteousness of God in Him. He makes us, not we ourselves.
He makes us fit. No tools will be heard in this
building. All, you see, everything Christ
makes His people, and what does He do with them? He puts them
in the church. He doesn't put them to work. He sets them in
there to rest. In other words, all these materials
in this building were already pre-cut, pre-formed, hewn, sawed,
measured, perfectly made and everything, and brought in the
temple, and they were what? Complete. When they were put in the temple,
nothing needs to be ascertained. Are you with me? And we're complete. And then, we don't put in the
church so we can improve ourselves. Oh no. We perfectly hold Him
unblamable, unapprovable in God's sight, and when He puts us in,
we're completely accepted. No two is going to be hurt. No
second. Complete once inside. And there
were many other materials. There were materials like wood. There was silver, gold. things
like that, which are stones. Stone is a very common earthly
substance, isn't it? It's an earthly substance. Stone,
wood, gold, silver is mined out of the earth. It's all earthly
things made out of... They're all common earthly materials. And in and of themselves, they're
not beautiful, are they? They're not related to that temple,
are they? You can't just go out and get
a rough-hewn tree and stick it in there and hope for the best,
can you? What's going to make that thing
suitable for that beautiful thing? Rather, it's going to take the
work of a master craftsman. Those things in themselves are
just plain old common material. And not really good for anything
until, like gold, gold has to be refined. The jaw has to be
removed to purify it. And we're just like, we're of
the earth, earthy. We're just common. We're just
common old folk. But in the hands of Christ the
Lord, Master Builder, he makes us feel. He makes us fit in the
hands of God and the Holy Spirit. We're made fit in the hands of...
and chosen. You know, every stone didn't
get put in the building. Somebody had chosen it. Every
tree didn't get cut. Somebody went out and chose them. Gold and silver was all chosen
by somebody. Selected. Handed. Selected. according to the good pleasure
of the Master. And so are we. So are we. So many different materials,
all made ready and fit and complete by the Master. Nothing left to
be done once it is done. All right, look at the next thing
on your outline of May. I don't know if you like having
that in mind. Here's all the things around
in and around the building, windows, doors, courts, pool, vessels,
and so forth. There were windows in this building,
verse 4 of chapter 6. For the house he made windows
of narrow lights. And again, if you have Cambridge
Center references, look at that, what it says, of narrow lights.
Number 7 says broad within and narrow without. Let's try it again. Broad within. You'll see a lot of light within. Narrowed
out. If you're on the outside looking
in, you can't see much. If you're on the inside looking
out, you see a lot. Oh, you guys work perfect. Huh?
We see through the last demo. In Christ, we see all things
clearly. There's great light, great revelation
in Christ, insight, once God put you by faith in Christ. There's
a porch, verse 3, the porch before the temple of the house, 20 cubits
was the length thereof, that's 30 feet long. It was along the width of the
house. It was exactly the same with
where we're going. It was according to the breadth
of the house. And 10 cubits was the breadth thereof before the
house. 15 feet deep and 30 feet wide
porch. And John Bunyan. I like what
he said about this. He did a whole, he did a pretty
long work on Solomon's temple spiritual life. But he said of
this porch, he said it was as wide as a house. The porch was
as wide as a house. In other words, anybody's welcome.
You should come up and sit on the porch. The porch is a welcome
place, isn't it? Y'all like to sit on the porch?
Well, if God made a porch, what's that? Back in the old days, back in
the Depression and before that, people would come along, any
old beggar would come along if he was hungry and sit on the
porch and have a sandwich, a glass of lemonade or something. Anybody. Anybody that's thirsty
could come. And it was wide enough abundant
sand to lay places, a lot of beggars, to lay a lot of beggars
on the porch. And the porch is a welcome place
for beggars. Come one, come all. Always. Wide
as a house. There were chambers. Verse 5. Against the wall of the house,
built right up to the house, there were chambers. These were
little dwelling places, what they were. Chambers. Dwelling places. Places to store
treasures. You know, you had to store all
the cups and the basins and the flesh hooks and all that when
they weren't being used. You had to store all these things
in a room. So, one place held all these treasures, gold and
silver. And then there was a room for
a hiding place. And there's a story over in the
first aisle. I mean, right now, there's a
story of a fellow who went and hid in one of these chambers
in the temple. They couldn't find him. He was
in there. They saw him all over, the second king, where he was
pursued, and he hid for six years in one of these chambers, safe. They couldn't find him. He said,
And also, there were chambers there that you wanted to just
go in, rest, relax, repose, just teach yourself, lay back, just
enjoy, just place, rest, repose. So, are you with me? There's
places, there's these dwelling places, these chambers, places
all built up, right, I'll tell you that, right against, built
onto the temple itself, where you could go for rest and relaxation,
or hide, or in it was all kinds of treasures. All these speak
of Christ. Christ, in Him are hid all the
treasures. of wisdom and knowledge. Christ
is our hiding place. Christ is our place of rest and
relaxation and repose. And on and on we could go. And
there was an oracle inside the very temple itself, like the
tabernacle above. The old tent in the wilderness
had a Holy of Holies. Well, in the temple, the temple
was made much like the person's tabernacle. Inside the temple
was an oracle, it's called. Verse sixteen, verse sixteen
of chapter six, yeah, verse sixteen. It
says in the last line, he built the temple within even for the
oracle, for the most holy place. The oracle, verse nineteen, he
prepared in the house within. set there the ark of the covenant
of the Lord. So there was a room within the
temple where the ark was placed, and this is an oracle of God. An oracle He prepared in the
house within to receive the ark of the covenant of the Lord. Are you with me? Maybe you're
not hearing me. Within the temple was a room inside of it, a smaller
room, Inside of that was God, heart, grace. What's that? You're the tenant, my son, give
me thy heart. The heart, out of the heart of
Israel's life. The heart, that's where Christ
abandoned. That's where God reveals His covenant. That's where God
reveals His mercy, His secret, in the heart. Out of the heart
of the secret. The fear of the Lord is the beginning
of wisdom. Those that fear Him, He will
reveal it. And He reveals it in the heart, not the head. Not
the head, but the heart. And this also represents, well,
cheaply represents, the holy place where Christ is. The heart
of God, the Muslim, the father. But Christ also dwells in the
heart of the believer. The believer is the temple of
God, and Christ resides in the heart. There were no words. No words. Versus uh... Versus
uh... The door, now it speaks of one
door here to the middle chamber. The door for the middle chamber
was on the right side of the path. That's the eastern side. The door, one door is mentioned
here, the door into the innermost chamber. And then verse 31, no,
verse 31, it says, for the entering of the oracle, he made doors.
of our life. It's true. Doors. Well, door in the inner chamber
is one. And it says doors into the oracle,
but really there was just one. We're going to see that. We're
going to see that. But Christ said, I'm the door.
I'm the way. Unlock, backside, sneak in, leave
it unlocked. You have to come by the door,
the property, the door, and the inner chamber. into this Holy of Holies, the
Oracles, verse 31, it says, doors, but really, it's not more than
one door, it's one door with two, made of two doors, like
that right there. That's one door in it. One opening,
one way in from the front of this building, that door, but
there's two doors. One way, but two doors into the
Holy of Holies. What do you recognize? Well,
Christ is both God and man. There's only one way into the
Holy. That's by Christ, God. God, coming down to earth, living
in perfect holiness. Man can be punished for our sins,
but God can't. One door, two leaves. But look, it gets better. Verse
33, though, it says, where am I? Yeah, verse 33 of chapter 6.
Also, he, for the door of the temple post of an idol tree,
verse 34, here it is, verse 34. The two doors were of furniture
in it, and the two leaves of one door were folding. So in
other words, it actually had four parts. One door, and I hope
I'm not losing you. I'm going to quit. One door with
two parts, God and man, Christ and God and man, into the Holy
of Holies. But now each door also was folded. You ever seen these bifold doors? I've got them on my closets at
home. That's what these were, bifold
doors. Now what's in? Christ spoke God
and man into the Holy of Holies. He's also made unto us wisdom,
righteousness, sanctification. We love that. One door, two parts, four leaves. Enter the Holy of Holies. That's how we enter. We're only
going to come to God without God's man. And we're only going
to come into his holiness if he's made of us. The way, by
his wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. And I've never
thought about this until today. Wisdom and righteousness, that's
God's power. Sanctification and redemption.
That's the Son, that's the Man, the God-Man. He sanctified himself
as a man, and he redeemed us by his blood as a man. God's
wisdom, God's holiness, man's set-apart, man's shed blood. Isn't that wonderful? That's
just wonderful. Oh, my. Wonderful. Wonderful. All right. There were pillars to hold up
the porch. Chapter 7, verse 15, says two
pillars of brass, 18 cubits high, that's 27 feet high. Yeah, 18, 9, 27 feet high. And
a line of 12 cubits, composited of about 18 feet around. It's a big pillar. Yeah, pillars. Pillars that support the church.
Or, yeah, support the church. Support the porch and the church.
That's what these pillars are. What are these two pillars? What
are the two things upon which the whole church stands upon?
There's two pillars. You've got to know this. I know
you know it, but you might not think of it right. But the two
things upon which everything stands. All salvation depends
on two giant pillars that are holding this whole thing down. Jesus, thy blood and righteousness. Blood and righteousness. Righteousness to make me whole.
Blood, faith, and my sin. It all stands and falls according
to those giant pillars. And the church is the pillar
and ground of the truth. And what do we hold up with these
two great things? This is all the foundation which
the church welcomes all through these two great pillars. Roger
that? Through these two things. Where
is some capital? Is it our nation's capital? So through these hallowed halls,
I think maybe it's the Supreme Court or somewhere, but anyway,
up top it's written, through these hallowed halls, and you
walk through two great, giant pillars. Well, through these
hallowed halls are those who come by His blood,
through Christ's blood, into the holy of holies. Well, there's a pool. There's
a big basin. Verse 23, chapter 7. A big basin
of water. Verse 23, made of molten sea.
It's called a sea. I don't know why. Anyway, ten
cubits from one brim to the other. It was round. It's 15 feet round.
It's a great big basin of water. And it was made of molten brass. Can you imagine how beautiful
that is? Can you imagine how beautiful
that is? This grass plate, that's not grass. Those are held up
with two little screws. That's solid grass, it's taken
some mold. Mold to the grass, that means
it was poured. Pure. And unmixed, molten, just
melted brass. Pure. Not hollow, but pure. It says, it tells, it says it
was that thick, hands break thick. It depends on whose hands it
is. Five, six inches thick. And ten, fifteen feet round. And it was supported by twelve,
twelve oxen. Molded brass oxen that were intricately
covered, little oxen, kind of sit down in the floor of the
temple, I believe it was right in the middle, and sit down in
there a little bit, but all the way around, perfectly ordered,
all the way around this perfect circle, circular basin of brass
six inches wide with these little oxen undergirding. What does this represent? The
Word of God. The Word of God. This is where
the priest came in and washed their hands and refreshed themselves. And this is a picture of the Word
of God. God's Word. And the Revelation
said there's a sea of glass before the throne. Remember that? A
sea of glass, mingled with fire. God's Word is a fiery substance,
but it's also a refreshing substance. It's pure, like that molten brass. And Christ Himself said this
in John 15, He said, Now are ye pure through the Word that
I have spoken unto you. You're pure through the Word. I've spoken this. Why is a man's
hand risen by the hand of God? And he said in Ephesians 5, we're
cleansed by the washing of water by the Word of God. God's Word. And the last thing, some of the
things in there were the vessels of the temple. There are too
many, too numerous to mention. But in this account, they're
all made of gold. All gold, gold in the weight. All gold, all the vessels, pots,
pans, labors and everything. Gold, verse 50, bowls, snuffers,
basins, spoons, scepters, pure gold. Hinges of gold, both for
the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, for the
doors of the house, the width of the temple, everything is
made of gold. Everything in this temple is
pure gold. Everybody in Christ's church
is holy, unworthy, unapproved, spotless, gold. You're a chosen
generation, royal. Gold is what the kings wear.
They don't wear silver. They wear gold. You're a royal
priesthood, chosen generation, peculiar, purchased people. I'd
like to leave something out, I want you to see this. In verse, back, the doors, in
chapter 6, verse 33, the doors were made of an olive tree, opposed
to the door. The doors themselves were made
and overlaid with gold, but they were made of an olive tree And
it says the posts of the doors were made of olive tree. And
the reason why they made things of olive back then, number one
for its endurance as well as beauty. Have you ever seen olive wood?
It's beautiful. It's beautiful, number one. It's
unmindfully exotic. And number two, it's enduring.
Olive wood is like the chisel wood, which the art was made
of, much like the yellow or black oaks we have here. It just gets
harder with age. It will not corrupt. It will not deteriorate. And
also, You know they never had the lubricate, the hinges on
that? Because that oil, that oil so
saturates that olive wood and those posts and those lacquer.
You know, a cedar or a pine tree will just bleed sap all it's
days long. Well, an olive tree, let's say,
is an oily wood and it just was naturally lubricated. So, here's
the problem. The doors were hanging on these
oily posts so that it wasn't hard for the doors to hang up.
In other words, you could just knock and it would fly up. And it wasn't hard to get in.
Anybody came to the door? Can I come? Button said the oil got drenched
and I freely opened the door with his mercy. Didn't work anything? It was a temporary feeling. Was anything like that? So it
was emptied, all the work. Well, who did it? King Solomon.
There were 30,000 lambs, and there were 150. No, who did it? Who built this
place? at the command and the purpose
of the Father, with the provision provided by King Hiram. It was done. It was finished.
And so, it says Solomon. When it's finished, Solomon brought
in the things which David his father had dedicated. He wrote
it. You got to go miss it. Verse
51. After it was all finished, Solomon brought in all these
things which David his father had dedicated. The silver, the
gold, the vessels. He put it among the treasures
of the house. What do you think Solomon would
have done if some fellow would have come along with a pen and
said, If anybody's ever seen a UFO,
they're not playing games with me. You see what I'm using it
for? It's power. It reaches the Earth. Am I going to? What can I add? I'll just stop
and fire it right at the top. I'll be able to feel it. All right, let's just stand and
be this way. Our Father, we thank You for
Your Word. We know it's Your Word. It's so marvelous, so miraculous,
so perfect, so complete, so complex, so interwoven of everything. It all works together to show
the glorious story of Christ. Christ is all and in all. Now, we thank you for showing
us a little bit of this glimpse. We preach in the park. We know
in the park. When that has just come, when
we're made perfect, when Christ has come, when we're actually
put in that temple not made with hands, that glorious temple. Then we'll know even what we've
been done. We'll glory throughout eternity
in that which Christ our Lord hath done, so great and salvation. It's in His name we are met here
tonight. Give Him glory. Amen. Okay.
