John chapter 10. We need to cover every verse
since we're going verse by verse through the scriptures. And this is what we do here.
For any visitors here, this is what we do here. This is all
we do here. This is all we should do here,
is go through this book, verse by verse, and see what God says.
That's all we're doing. We're not trying to entertain
anyone. We're trying to see what God says. I hope he speaks to
us. Well, verse by verse, and there's
some difficult verses here, though. Let's read verses 27 through
30 again. John 10, verses 27 through 30. The Lord Jesus Christ is speaking
and says, My sheep hear my voice, I know them, they follow me. I give unto them eternal life,
and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them
out of my hand. My Father which gave them me
is greater than all. No man is able to pluck them
out of my Father's hand. I and Father are one." You notice
the word my is in italics. That means it was not there in
the original Greek scripture. I and Father are one. Now, the
Lord Jesus Christ is saying two things in that verse. I and Father are one. He's saying, I and God the Father
are one in purpose. We're one in mind. We're one
in work. We're in this thing together.
We're in the salvation of our sheep together. He's saying that. One in purpose. He's also saying, I'm God. That's
the reason it reads that way. I and Father are one. Over and over he said this. He
said, He that hath seen me hath seen the Father. He said, Before Abraham was,
I am. He called himself God. Now, the Jews knew what he was
saying. They heard him loud and clear.
They heard him saying, I'm And look at verse 31. It says, "...they
took up stones to stone him." Again, to stone him. The Jews,
that is. All right? This is important. The Jews. The Jews were religious
people. They weren't street people. They were religious people. All
right? Churchgoing, so to speak. But the Scripture says to the
Jew, Jesus Christ is a stumbling block. To the religious person,
Jesus Christ, who he is and what he said, is a stumbling block.
He gets in their way. Now, listen, Christ has been
saved all the way through John 10, he's been saying, I am the
door. By me, if any man enter. He said,
I am the shepherd. One place he said, I'm from above,
you're from beneath. I'm the shepherd. God, the Father
has given me sheep. I am the shepherd. They're in
my hands. He said, I am the way. I am he. He said, No man cometh unto God
but by me. I am that I am. All right? Now, these Jews, these
self-righteous religious people, got mad at him. They heard him. They got mad at him. Why? Because
they were proud of what they were doing for God. They thought
that what they were doing, their religion, their works, the fact
that they didn't drink and smoke and cuss and chew and go on to
church all their lives, same thing. Same thing. These fellows, they might not
have had a red man back then, but they had something similar
that they prided themselves in not doing. They didn't eat pork. while Ham had never touched their
lips. It sounds funny, doesn't it?
But that's exactly it. They were proud of the fact that
they were religious and had always attended the synagogue of their
choice, and that they were working their
way to heaven, and surely God was taking notice of them, that
they were good little boys and And they weren't like these sinners
out in the world. They weren't running the bars and running
the streets, and they weren't like these publicans and these
Pharisees and these harlots and all that. Why, they did all the
attire. They did this, they did that.
And our Lord one time gave a story of about a notorious sinner coming
into the tabernacle, and one of these Jews coming in. And he said that old, no-good
sinner went out of that place justified, accepted by God, and
that religious fellow was rejected. Thumbs down. They heard him and they got mad. That made them mad, you see.
And they knew what he was saying. You mean that all that we're
doing, our All that we've given up for God, so to speak, all
that we're doing, all that we are, doesn't account for anything
before God? Nothing. You mean that we're no better
than that fellow on the street, than that common harlot? Worse. And that made them mad, fighting
mad. And it does the same thing to
God. It does the same thing today. The average religious person
sitting in what there was, if they were sitting, if I were
standing behind the average pulpit in America today, I'd see teeth,
jaws just going like this. I've seen them. I've seen people wander in here,
you know, and I've seen their jaws start to work. I've seen them look like they
wanted to box my jaws. And I'd like to box theirs. So
the feeling was mutual. Well, Christ is saying the only
way anybody's going to get to God is if I take them there. Christ is saying the only way
anybody's going to be saved is if I do all the saving. I mean
start the saving and finish the saving. That's what he's saying,
and the Jew didn't like that. Made him angry. What he's saying
is, I'm no mere man, I'm God. Now, look at verse 32 and verse
33. It says here that They took up stones to stone
him, and he said, Well, what many good works have I showed
you from my Father, for which of these works do you stone me?
They said, We're not stoning you for a good work, but for
blasphemy. You're a man. You make yourself
God. It's the same today, isn't it?
It's the same today. Men believe no
differently today. This is why everybody refers
to the Lord of Glory as Jesus. I'm just telling you a fact now.
This is why preachers are standing up today, and nearly every time
they refer to this one, they're going to call him Jesus. Why?
He's not much more than a man to them. I'm not exaggerating the case,
am I, Stanley? Out of the abundance of the heart,
the mouth speaketh. And whatever a man thinks about
this one here, that's what he'll call him, Jesus. But, buddy,
if there's a sovereign reigning Lord ruling over his heart, he
won't, he, he hesitates to even use that name, but when he does,
he says, Lord. Now, I'm not, I'm not overstating
the case. Men reveal themselves for what
they are. Think he's just a man. He's just
a man. A good man now. He's a good man.
They'll acknowledge that. Just a man now. An extraordinary
man. But not much more than a man.
He ain't God because he can't do anything unless you let him.
They say. He's not God, they say, because
he's standing at your heart door and he's knocking and he can't
come in unless you open that door. That's another Jesus. That ain't
this Jesus. That ain't the Lord of glory.
Like one preacher said, you know what the hand of God Almighty
do to your heart's door if he is knocking on it? And that's
exactly what he does. He said, my word's like a hammer. If I come knocking on a heart,
it's caving in, buddy. It's going to be broken for good. And I'm coming in. He can't unless you let him. There's a scripture over in the
Old Testament. You remember reading and studying the life of David?
It says that David, now he was the king of Israel. At that time,
it was the most powerful kingdom on earth. And David was king!
King of Israel! And he went down to one place
and it says, He was going to conquer this one place, and it
said these little pinhead fellas, you know, inside that city. They had the gates barred and
the walls up around the city. It said these little pinhead
fellas said, he ain't coming in. And the next verse in that
scripture says, and David went in. I love that. I don't care what these had preachers
saying either. They're talking about another
Jesus. And I'm here to declare the real one. And I'm telling
you, he's not waiting on you to do anything. He's not depending
on you to do anything. And he's not going to do anything
unless you let him. If he decides to do something,
he's going to do it. Because he's God. Now, these
Jews knew what he was saying. All right? Now, I was going to
deal with these verses, but I'm not. I'm sorry I don't have time. I just don't have time. I want
to get to the end of this chapter. But he said to them, verses 34
and 35, "'Is it not written in your law, ye gods,' that is,
your little rulers, your little princes, if God called them gods,'
now this is over in Psalm 82, "'If God called these rulers
in Israel, gods, or that is, little princes and rulers, unto
whom the word of God came." Now, God won't break his word. Do
you say of him, verse 36, do you say of him whom God has set
apart, I mean set apart above all others, sanctified, set apart,
highly exalted, and given a name which is above every name? who's
made him Lord, I mean capital L, capital O, capital R, capital
D. Psalm 2. Long before Psalm 82,
Psalm 2, God declared the decree, I've set my king on my holy hill
of Zion, you better kiss him unless he's angry. Now, do you
say of him, Christ said, that he's blaspheming because he says
he's the son of God, the offspring of God? If I do not the works of my Father,
believe me not." In other words, if I don't do what God does, then believe me not. That is, if I, but if I do, verse
38, if I do, If I heal the blind, I mean the
blind now, not like Benny Hinn who takes some fellow who's real
nearsighted and says, throw away your glasses, or some fellow who's got a hearing
aid and says, take that out, or some person walking in on
a cane. Oh, no, I'm talking about somebody born blind like Bartimaeus,
and everybody knew it. And when he went away, he saw.
somebody who's deaf. I mean, everybody knew it. He
couldn't hear a thing. Somebody's laying, and I mean,
their legs were shriveled up, not walking on a cane. They were
bedridden, and everybody knew it, and they saw him. Somebody
dead, dead, raised up. I mean, D-E-A-D, graveyard dead,
in a coffin, lid shut, stone on the door, and he come,
Christ come by and said, walk, hear, see, get up, live." Now,
he said, if I do that, you best be believing in God. And if you don't hear what I'm saying,
he says, you better see what I'm doing and believe. But that's
not possible, because faith cometh by hearing. And hearing is seeing. So that's what he's saying there. Now, let's get on down to the
meat. I'm watching the time closely.
I'm not going to lose you, or many of you, hopefully. Therefore, they sought again
to take him, to kill him. They sought to grab him again.
They got mad again standing there. Hundreds, maybe a thousand people
were standing around him, all around. I said, Jews gathered
around the banner. Everywhere he went, he gathered a crowd, or a crowd gathered around him.
And he was saying, he's standing right in the middle of them saying
this stuff. And it says, they started, get him boys! Got him? You got him? Thought you had him! Now boys,
he had just said, no man taketh my life from me. You can't touch me. Why? You can't touch God. God's in heaven. You can't lay
a hand on him. And even if God walks this earth,
you can't lay a hand on him. Touch not mine anointed, God
said. Don't touch him unless I say. Now see, Jesus is not
in our hands. God has not placed Jesus in our
hands. We can't touch him. Boy, He can touch us. The vast gulf between us and
Him. He's not in our hands. Buddy,
we're in His. And Christ said, No man layeth
and taketh my life from me. Can't do it. They tried, didn't
they? Over and over. I love that. Don't you stand.
I love that. Over and over and over again.
They get Him. Through stones and thin air. Remember the door? He doesn't
even need a door. He is a door. That's the Lord
God. You see, it's not this pitiful
pinhead Jesus they're talking about. I can't make fun of this
fellow they're talking about. I can't. He absolutely needs
to be like Bagon, just dropped on his face for what he is. This
Jesus preachers are talking about is a whip. I can whip him. I
challenge him to a fight. I can whip him. I can whip him. I can beat his brains out. Tell
him, tell us, Jesus, there's a person behind the building
today at noon. Tell him. I can whip him. I ain't got no hands or arms.
I can whip him. I can't whip Steve Parks. I can
whip that Jesus, who can't do anything unless I let him. And
this God they're talking about, you know, try it all he can do. Now it's up to me. I'm stronger
than he is. I challenge him. But, you know, this is the Lord
of glory here. This is the God of the universe right here. You
see why we do nothing here but You see, why we do nothing here
but read this book, if that's what preachers were doing, there'd
be more people seeing that this ain't just little Jesus they're
talking about. This is God. If they'd just read what he said,
they'd say, hey, he's not what fellows are saying about him.
Why, he's God. verse forty and he went away
and every every word is significant. Every word in God's Word is just
was was written before the world began and God spent millenniums
writing it. Every if and jot and tittle has
divine significance, the eternal meaning. So he went away again
beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized,
and that's where he abode. So Christ escaped out of their
midst, and where did he go? He went back to where he began
his public ministry. This is where he was first revealed.
by God. This is where he was first revealed.
This is where John... So let's begin there, OK? Well,
no, hold on. We've got to read this first.
And he went away again, verse 40, into the place where John
baptized at first, and there he abode. And verse 41, many
resorted unto him, there and said, John did no miracle, but
all things that John spake of this man, they're true. And many believed on him there.
Where? Back there. Back where they first
heard what John said. All right? So let's go back and
hear and see what John said. All right? Back to John chapter
1. Let's go back to the beginning.
Let's go back and hear what we first heard. OK? Let's lay again
the foundation. Let's lay again the foundation
which no man can lay than that which is laid, Jesus Christ the
Lord. All right? Go back to the beginning,
the beginning of our confidence, and let's hold it steadfast to
the end. Let's abide there, OK? And maybe,
hopefully, many in here believe on Him here. Not only like they
did there, they believe on Him here. All right, John 1, verse
1. Do you tire of these verses?
John 1, verse 1. In the beginning was the Word.
Now, this is speaking of Jesus Christ. You'll see it. In the
beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word
One of these Jehovah's Witnesses was reading that to me one day,
out of her so-called Bible, her perversion. She read it this
way, and the word was a God. I just about lost it right there.
I said, it doesn't say that. Now John 10 back there said that,
didn't he? He said, when he was talking
to those little fellas, he said, Didn't I say in your word you're
gods? Small g, plural. But there's
one God. And if the so-called Jehovah's
Witnesses believe there's one God, there's not two. A God? Well, there's one. He's God. Read on. The same was
in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him. Who? Jesus Christ. All things were made by Him.
Well, He can't do anything unless you let Him. Well, He made this
world without you letting Him. I wasn't the writing. That's
me. He did that without me. Well, they say He can't do anything
without you. He did that. He made the world. Angels, seraphim,
cherubs, threw stars in space from the sun. I wonder who that's
me." Read on, "...all things were
made by him. Without him was not anything
made that was made." Verse 14, "...and the Word was made flesh."
And this is what gives them all the problems. Though he's God,
yet he became a man. So they say, well, he can't be
God, he's a man. But he is. And just because you
can't figure it out, doesn't mean he isn't. Oh, my. Look at verse 6. There was a man sent from God
whose name was John. Now, he was just a man. He was
just a man. They tried to make a god out
of him. Isn't this what Romans says?
John, isn't this what Romans 1 says? They worship the creature
rather than the Creator. They make a deity or a god out
of this little shriveled-up fellow over in Rome who's got a fish
on his head, you know? Little shriveled-up, wrinkled
Polack. Apologies to the Polish people,
but that guy's a Polack. And he wears this little hat,
and they make a god out of him. When the God of glory comes to
this earth, they say he's just a man. Now, isn't that the perverted
mind of man? Isn't man absolutely confused? Worship the creature rather than
the Creator. Why? Because the Creator became
a man. And they say, well, we can't
figure this out. So, so what? That's the way it is. That's
who he is, whether we can figure it out or not. And men get all kinds of, you
know, argue against God's sovereignty. They throw all kinds of logic.
And it doesn't matter what men say or what questions they ask,
well, he's God. Well, there was a man saying,
in verse 26 and 27, this is what this man, now he's a man's man.
He wouldn't profess to be anything but a man. a real man wouldn't. And he says in verse 26 and 27,
I'm baptized with water. All I'm doing down here, I'm
nothing. All I'm doing is just putting
people under a lake, a river, a pool. Who are you, John? A man. I'm trying to tell you about
one. Look at verse 26. There standeth one among you
whom you know not. Oh, these three words, John. Don't you love these three words,
John, David? In John 1, 27, he, it is. Do you see that He, it is? Oh, my! Who coming after me is
preferred before me, whose shoelace I am not worthy to tie or untie. I'm just a man. Oh, my! This is He. It is He of whom
the prophets spake, He of whom God spake, He in whom we live
and move and have our being, He in whom, through whom, by
whom, for whom, are all things. He it is. And you don't know
Him. And men today don't know Him. But some do. He said, And those are the ones that get
mad when they start talking about him like men do. I just read
an article by Brother Jack Shanks and his bulletin along those
lines. And he said, that old man, old
Jack, he said, you know, I get plumb mad when people start talking
about my Lord the way they do. people calling him an impotent,
pitiful little fellow. Well, look at some of these things
John said. It's all true. All things that
John spoke of this man are true. And may you believe on him here.
Look at verse 27 or 29. The next day, John seeth Jesus
coming unto him and saith, Behold the Lamb of God. which taketh away the sin of
the world. That's the first thing you see.
And it's true. Oh, is it? It's true. Any sinners
in here? Now, I'm not talking about these
religious folks that say, well, yeah, we've committed some mistakes
and we have our faults, and yes, we would all be sinners, but
I'm sure not like that. I'm talking about worthless,
no good, wretched, gutter snipes. Well, this one says to the gutter
most. all those, those, those what? Those gutter snipes that come
unto God by him. He doesn't save religious people.
Oh, no. He leaves them, lets them stay
religious, keep on thinking they're something. And he allows those
that trust in him to keep on believing they're sinners. Why? That's what makes the gospel
sweet. That's what makes this good news. That's what makes
Christ precious to him. He saves sinners. He's the lamb
of God that taketh away the sin of the world. You don't want
a lamb. You know why we need a lamb to take away our sin?
Does anybody in here not know why we need a lamb to take away
our sin? Now, this is all the way through
this book here. all the way through this book,
from the very beginning, when the first man and woman committed
or rebelled against God, Adam and Eve. People say it's a fictitional
story. It's not. At any rate, when the
first man and woman fell and just said, Don't want God, God slew a lamb. They were guilty. God should have just He should
have just wiped that man and woman out just right there. Just
wiped them out. I don't need them. I don't need
rebellious people or children like them. What do I need with
them? They can't add anything to me. And now they're rebelling
against me. God should have just snuffed
them out, as God should do this whole planet right now. Why should
God put up with this planet? Just snuff it out. But God is
rich in God should have snuffed that
man and woman out, should have killed them. The Scripture says
the wages of sin is death. So what did God do? God reached
over here and took a lamb. I mean a little bleating, innocent,
sweet, beautiful, spotless. Have you all ever seen lambs?
Oh, there's nothing prettier, nothing sweeter. Took that little
lamb away from his mama, and slid it through her, and poured that blood out, and
slid its belly, and skinned it, and took that skin, and wrapped
it around that man and that woman. Oh, they tried to get some little
fig leaf, you know. Oh, God can't see us now. You're naked. God took that lamb's skin and
wrapped it around them. Behold, the Lamb of God, naked
sinner. God sees you. He knows you. Everything you do and are is
naked before his eyes with whom we have to do it, before whom
we will stand someday in the judgment. How old-fashioned as
this sounds, it's true! Before whom we'll stand, either
naked or clothed in lambskin. Behold the Lamb. Christ came,
innocent, pure, spotless. God said, look at him. He's lovely,
altogether lovely. Look at you. Look at him. Look! And be ye saved. God slit his throat. God skinned
him and put that robe on us. Now I look like Christ. I didn't
do anything. Christ did it all. I'm just wearing
his robe. And now I don't have any sin. God doesn't see me. I'm hid! You're hid with God. John, you know exactly what I'm
saying, don't you? You're smiling, you're laughing. You know the
joyful sound. I hear you laughing. Behold the Lamb. I may not get
past this verse here. What John says is true. He'd take it the way of sin.
That's the only one that can. He's the only one that can. All
our strivings and doings and this and that in the religion
won't do it. All our endeavors, how often
have you tried to quit this and quit that and do this and do
that? Well, I'm going to get religion now. You come to Christ and look to
him, and the burden drops. You mean I don't have to? No,
you don't have to. You mean it's not up to me? No,
it's not up to you. You mean all I've got to do is look and
trust? That's all you've got to do is look and trust. It sounds so simple, it is. Simply
this, Christ is all. Well, he's the Lamb, he's the
Lamb. Look at the next thing John says,
and I'll hurry and quit. Verse 30, he said, After me,
this is he, he it is, this is he, of whom I said, After me
cometh a man which is preferred before me. Because he was a poor
man. He's preferred the poor man.
Now, listen very carefully. God loves and highly esteems and approves
of one man, Jesus Christ. And the whole shooting match,
line them up, from every man and woman that ever lived, is
not worth burning. Oh, that's what God said in Isaiah. He said, Lebanon is not fit for
burning. Didn't he, John? You ever heard
that scripture? One man. God prefers him. Why? Well, he's only one worth
anything. Oh, my. Only one worthy. Worthy. I have a daughter here,
and let me just be honest with you. I have one daughter, one
child. And I prefer her to all other
children. I just do. I'm being honest with
you right now. I'm being honest. Now you might
sound real pious and tell me you love my daughter as much
as your own, but you're lying. Liar, liar. That's the one I prefer. Now
wait a minute, she's just a sinner like me. That's me sitting there. I mean, she's growing up and
She's already showing signs of being just like me. Oh, my. But God now, he has one son,
and he's not like us. He's like God. He's express image. He's the only one worthy. And
God says, I prefer him. He's got it right, doesn't he,
Sam? He's the only one worth preferring. So God does. I don't
have any problem with that, do you? I don't. He is prepared. He was
before me. He always will be before me.
Look at the next thing, verse 33. And I knew him not, but he
that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me,
Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and remaining
on him. That's the one. The same is he.
He it is, this is he, the same as he, which baptizes with the Holy
Ghost and with fire. The Holy Ghost, a spirit on him
without measure. Now, I need to hurry. I want you to see this. John
said he, I saw the spirit on him without measure. Now, I've seen a measure of the
Spirit in God's people. I'm looking at some right now
who have a measure of the Spirit. The fruit of the Spirit being
love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, meekness,
temperance. I've seen a measure, a little
bit. I have a hard time finding those
things in myself. But I see those things in others,
in you. Love, joy, peace, longsuffering. But I've seen it on him now,
without measure. The fruit, without measure. Love. Greater love hath no man than
him. Peace. Oh, he rejoiced when he
had nothing. Peace. Oh, peace. Longsuffering. Oh, longsuffering. Nobody put up with more than
he had and did. Gentleness. Oh, my. Ladies and gentlemen, Jesus Christ, the only real gentleman
to ever live. Gentleman. Goodness, oh, on him. Faith, meekness, temperance,
all these things I've seen without measure. Read on, and it says,
he's the one which baptizes with the Holy Ghost, verse 33. With
the Holy Ghost. And over in another place it
says, with fire. The Holy Ghost and fire. Have
you been baptized with the Holy Ghost and fire. All Christ's sheep have. Now,
if you were in the so-called Pentecostal holiness,
Jerusalem's Pentecostal holiness Walk right, see right, talk right,
do right, fear filled, born again, church down the road. See, that's
about the name of some of them. What can we say that's different?
We can pick off the wholeness, do right, say right, do right,
be right, church of the mother, whatever. If you were down there
now and the preacher was dealing with it, he'd say, have you been
baptized with the Holy Ghost and fire? You understand that? No, neither
did he. He's just a babbling idiot. Holy
Ghost doesn't make people talk like babbling idiots. It's just
children in the nursery down there that can do that. If that's
being filled with the Spirit, they've got more of it than he
does. That's the only way they ever talk. What about fire? Well, I'd like to call down fire
on some of these fellows. Here it is. Here's the Holy Ghost,
the baptism of the Holy Ghost in fire. I just have to take
my word for it. In John 14 and John 16, it says
this. And Christ says this when he
said, I'm going to go to the Father, but I'll not leave you
comfortless. The Comforter, the Holy Spirit,
whom I shall send in my name, in the Father's name, him I will
send unto you, and he, the Holy Spirit, this is what he's going
to do, he's going to take the things of mine. and show them unto you. He's
going to bring to remembrance all things that I have said.
He's the teacher. He shall teach you and guide
you into all truth. He'll not speak of himself. You
won't hear all this talk about the Holy Spirit. That's not what
the Holy Spirit does. He talks about Christ, and he
immerses people He takes people and absolutely immerses them
in the things of Christ, baptizes them, absolutely immerses them
in Christ till they're filled with the things of Christ. He
starts from Genesis 1 all the way through to the Scriptures.
This is what the Holy Spirit uses. This is the word, not some
mere man, but this word. This is the word of his power,
not that preacher. This word. And he immerses people
in this word until, like those disciples on the road to Emmaus.
Where's the fire in all this, preacher? Those two disciples walking on
the road to Emmaus. Christ came and revealed to them,
opened up the Scripture took the books of Moses, the Law and
the Prophets and the Psalms, and revealed unto them all things
concerning himself." And what did they say? As he revealed
himself from the Scripture, as he opened up the Scriptures in
them, what did they say? One of them looked at the other and
said, Do you feel it? He said, Yeah. What is it? My heart's on fire. My heart's burning up. With what? These things are wonderful, the
things of Christ. This is just too wonderful. It
says, stay, stay, preach some more. What? About yourself. Don't let this fire go out. That's the baptism of the Holy
Ghost. You've been on fire? The scripture says, Thy word
burned within me. See, I tried to keep silent. My heart was hot within me. Burned. The word of God. It has
nothing to do with rolling on the floor. It has nothing to
do with hanging on a chandelier. Take a little LSD, you'll roll
on the floor and you'll hang from a chandelier. But you'll
not be filled with the Spirit. And you'll see things. You'll
imagine things. God sends strong delusions that
men believe a lie. That's what 2 Thessalonians 2
says. That's what God says in his word. He sends men strong
delusions that they might believe a lie. God sends these visions
and signs and wonders and all that, and people follow and listen
to these fellows. But to those that love the truth,
he sends the truth, and then he sends real fire. heartburning fire, the kind of
heartburn you don't want rid of. And the only thing that will
get rid of it is R-E-L-I-G-I-O-N. That will get rid of it. All right, I quit for now. But it says there in John 10,
in our text, it says, all things John said of him are Everything
he said is true, and it says many believed on him there. Do you believe on him here? Huh? He's baptized with the Holy Ghost
and fire. He's the preferred one while
he's before me. He's the Lamb of God. Do you
see him as a lamb? Do you see him as the preferred
one, the one who's before all things? by whom are all things."
Do you see him as the preeminent one? Do you see him? Have you heard him? Has he been
baptized with the Holy Spirit into the things of Christ where
your heart burns within you? It's true, I'm one. I'm going
to do all my job. Right here. OK, Joe, you have
him picked up. Two thirty five. Number two hundred
thirty five. So I'm going to go ahead and
do that. I think that's the best way to
