I also want you to turn to the
gospel of Luke, Luke chapter 24. I hope you have a Bible. If you
don't, listen carefully as I read these scriptures, because I don't
want to tell you what I think. It doesn't matter what a man
thinks, his opinion. The only thing that matters is
what this word says, what God's word says. This book is a hymn book. I like to call the Bible a hymn
book, not this book. It's a H-Y-M-N book. This is
a H-I-M book. book, a hymn book, from cover
to cover, this book testifies of Jesus Christ. It's not just
a book to tell men and women how to live. This is a book to
show us where life is found. And Christ said, I am the way,
the truth, and the life. Christ is life. Look at Luke
24. Our Lord says this in Luke 24,
verse 44. Look at it. This is what the
Lord Jesus Christ said to a couple of disciples, well, several disciples. He said in verse 44, These are
the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you,
that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the law
of Moses," the first five books of the Bible, the law of Moses,
in the prophets, that's just all the scriptures, and in the
Psalms, concerning me. Christ said, these things that
are written are concerning me. Christ said that. Turn over to
2 Corinthians, chapter 3. We like to study and look at,
I like to preach from the Old Testament. Many so-called preachers say
that it's not necessary anymore, the old Bible they call it. Well,
there's no old Bible and new Bible, it's all one Bible. It's
all God's All the apostles had to preach from was the Old Testament.
It wasn't an old Bible to them. It was new. All the Lord himself
spoke from was the Old Testament. And the Old Testament has the
same subject as the new. That's what Christ was saying.
These things are written which testify of me and Moses and the
prophets and the Psalms concerning me. See, the Old Testament says
somebody's coming. Who? Life. The Gospels say he's
here, he's here now. There he is. And the epistles
say he's coming back again. That's all the Bible is about.
That's what it's about. 2 Corinthians 3, look at this. It says here in 2 Corinthians
3, verses 14 and following, look at it. 2 Corinthians 3, verse 14, it
says, "...their minds were blinded, until this day remaineth the
same veil untaken away in the reading of the Old Testament,
which veil is done away in Christ." The Old Testament is not a mystery
when you see Christ in it. It's as plain as daylight. He says, even unto this day,
verse 15, when Moses is read, the veil is on their heart. Nevertheless,
when it, that is, the heart, shall turn to the Lord, the veil
shall be taken away. Now, the Lord is that Spirit,
and where the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of the Lord is, there
is liberty. And we all, with open face, beholding as in a
glass, the glory of the Lord. the Lord
Jesus Christ. All right? You see, salvation. Why did God write this book?
To show us how to live? No. No. Because no man can get to
God by trying to live that. That's what this book says all
the way through. By the deeds of the law, nobody will be justified.
It says that over and over again. God wrote this book to point
us to the one who can make us live, Jesus Christ. Salvation,
you see, eternal life, is to know and believe a person. That's what this man prayed a
while ago. Oh, that we might know and believe and understand
this person and his work, this one who came and why he came.
Why'd he come? This Jesus. Show us how to live?
No. He said, I've come that they
might have life. Not show him how to live, but
to give life, like he gave to Lazarus, and he called him out. This God manifest in the flesh,
this is God Almighty in human flesh, Jesus Christ is his name.
God wrote a book, this Bible, he wrote this book, and it's
all about him. It's his book. It's all, John
17.3, our Lord said this. He said, This is life eternal,
that they might know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ,
whom he has sent himself. And nobody can know God apart
from them. And nobody can know this apart
from a revelation of the Spirit, the Holy Spirit teaching them. He's called the Teacher. He shall
teach them all things concerning Christ. All right, Jesus Christ is the
sum and substance of this book. He's the sum and the substance
of this book. Those who do not see Christ in
all of scriptures are blind. Isn't that what 2 Corinthians
3 said? Every portion of scripture. Those who do not preach Christ
from all scriptures do err, not knowing the scriptures. know
the power of God. Christ is the power of God. So
what's this thing we're doing all about? Why are we here this
morning? There are religious services
all over the world. Are we just here to be religious?
Are we just here to go through the motions? Are we just here
to try to impress God? Well, God's not impressed. But if we're here to worship
God, to know God, how do you worship God? You've got to know
him. How do you know him? He reveals himself through this
book. And more specifically, through Christ. Christ came down
in the flesh to reveal the Father and all he said about the Father.
And that's why we're here. We're here to learn who Jesus
Christ is, like he prayed. To learn who Jesus Christ is,
why he came. and what that means to me. Now, Isaiah 42, this whole text
speaks so clearly of Jesus Christ. I hope you saw it when we were
reading it. Those who saw it probably could
hardly contain themselves. This is one of the greatest portions
in all the Bible that speaks of Christ. Christ is so clearly
seen, if you have eyes to see. Sherry's dress is red, isn't
it? I mean, it's red. Why? Because I have eyesight.
If I was blind, you'd ask me, What color is Sherry's dress?
I'd say, I don't know. And if you have not seen Christ
in that passage of Scripture, you're blind. If you hadn't seen
him throughout the Scripture, you're blind. I see red when
I read these scriptures all the way through. I see red. What
Christ wears is red. What this book wears is red.
There's a scarlet line that hangs all through this scripture. It's
the blood of Christ, the person and work of Christ. Now, where's
my place? Isaiah 42, look at verse 1. He says, God says, Behold my servant. Who's he talking about, me, the
preacher? No. The preacher is nothing. This
fellow here is nothing. He's no higher, no holier than
anybody anywhere. He's a sinner. Who's he talking about here?
He's talking about God's chief servant, talking about Jesus
Christ. behold my servant." There ain't
nothing to behold in this fellow. You've seen one, you've seen
them all, haven't you, looking at me? But behold him, the scripture
says, my servant. Jesus Christ is God's sovereign
servant. What does servant mean? If I
had a servant, if I were a rich man and had a servant, that means
that fellow would do exactly what I tell him to do. I say,
go, he go. I say, come, he come. I say,
do this, do that, he do it. He's my servant. That's exactly
what Jesus Christ did. That's why he came. He said,
Lord, it is written of me in the volume of the book. Didn't
that say all scripture? Doesn't it, John? Isaiah 40?
Lord, in the volume of the book, it's written of me. I come to
do thy will, O God. Christ came to do what the Father
sent him to do. What was that? Well, God named
him. He named his servant, didn't
he? He says, call his name, well,
Jesus. Why? Because it has a good ring
to it. God named him. When God names
people something, it means something. God named Jacob, Jacob. That's
exactly what he was, a cheat. He said, call his name Jesus,
this one. Why? He shall save his people
from their sins. All that the Father gave him,
God's people, he shall save them from their sins. Call his name
Jesus. He came to save a people. That's why he came, God's servant. He came to do God's good pleasure. And it wasn't a dream, Nancy,
it wasn't a dream. I heard some preachers say, God
has a dream to make a people. God doesn't drink things, he
does things. We drink, God does things. And he sent Christ to do this,
to make us his people. Verse 1, Behold, my servant,
whom I uphold, he upholds all things by the word of his power. That's what the scripture says,
and Christ is the word made flesh. Whom I uphold. We don't mind
elect. Read it with me, verse 1. My
servant, mine elect, God's choice servant. That's what it means.
If I was a rich man, like I said, and I had servants, I'd have
one servant who I would call my butler. He's my choice servant. He's my best servant. He's my
right-hand man. He's with me always. He knows
what I want and what I like, and he does it for me. Christ
is God's right-hand man, his choice servant, the one he's
chosen, the scripture says, out of the people, exalted. In whom? Now, listen. God elects a people. The scripture is full of this
truth, that God elects a people, a particular individual. How? Based on what they do? No. He elects them and puts them
in Christ. Christ is the elect. He's the
representative. He is the representative. The
old writers called a federal head. He represents them. He is the elect of God, and everybody
else is chosen, Ephesians 1-4, in him before the foundation
of the world. Read on. My servant, my elect, Jesus Christ,
in whom I so delighted," God said. God looked down from heaven
and twice. Well, over in Psalm 19, it says
God looked down from heaven to see if there were any that did
seek after God, any that did understand. He said, they're
all. They're all gone astray. There's none seeking after God. There's none that doeth good,
no, not one. But in the end of the world,
there was one that walked this planet, and God looked down on
him and said, Behold, this is my beloved Son in whom I am well
pleased, my soul delighted in him. Why? Look at verse 21 there,
chapter 42. Verse 21, The Lord is well pleased
for his righteousness sake. God is well pleased for Christ's
righteousness sake, his righteous servant, his Holy Son. God's
not well pleased with any human being but Jesus Christ. Why? Because he's holy and righteous
in thought, word, and deed, and God is not pleased with anybody
and won't accept anybody except through him. That's what Ephesians
1, 6 says. We are accepted where? in the Beloved, in Christ, my
servant, whom I am well pleased for his righteousness to save."
Read on. Look at verse 2 of chapter 42. He said, He shall not cry. He shall not cry. Verse 1, He
shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. That's justice.
He shall justify. Verse 2, He shall not cry, nor
lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street. Jesus
Christ didn't walk around. Jesus Christ didn't go around
trying to get men and women to believe on him. Did he? He didn't preach
on the street corner. No, he didn't. He went into the
synagogue. Didn't he? Yeah, he did. He didn't
preach on the street corner. One time it says at that feast,
the great day of the feast, where was that? They always had that
at the temple. He said he stood and cried. But Jesus Christ didn't go around,
walk around trying to get people to believe on him, saying, I'm
God, won't somebody have me? Won't somebody believe on me?
No, no. He shall not cry. He shall not
cry. Christ went around, walked around
purposely, confidently, walked through this land calling out
his people. He knew who was his, and he called
him. The scripture says he must, needs go through Samaria. Have
you read that? One time it says he must, needs
go through Samaria. Why? To see if somebody would
have him? No! It says, because there's
a woman at the well there. It was one of his. He must go
through Samaria. He said, every sheep I have which
are not of this foal, of them also I must bring. One of them
is at Samaria. I'm going to get her. I'm the
good shepherd. She's lost. I know her by name. I call my sheep by name. I know
them, they know me, and they follow me. I call them." And
Christ went purposely, deliberately, confidently, walking through
this land as a good shepherd looking for his sheep. And he'd find one, but there's
one, Matthew, follow me. He got involved. There's two
in the boat, Peter and Andrew, brothers, follow me. He didn't
ask them anything, did he? Follow me. What did they do?
They jumped ship and followed Christ. One up a tree, Zacchaeus,
come down and go into your house. Why? He's one of his own. Christ
said, All that the Father giveth me shall come to me. Confident,
confident. He shall not cry nor lift up
nor cause his voice to be heard in the street. all that the Father
hath given me." Verse 3, a bruised reed shall he not break, and
smoking flax shall he not quench. He shall bring forth judgment
unto truth. I like this verse, a bruised
reed and smoking flax. Can you think of anything weaker
than a bruised reed? I'm talking about a little, thin,
hollow reed that or a stick or a cattail or something by a little
pond, the wind comes along, and it's always just, especially
a broken one, boy, it just flops like a smoking flax. It's such
an obnoxious thing, a smoking rag or something. Isn't it an
obnoxious thing, just smoking, you know? Well, by nature, that's what
we are, wounded, bruised by default. Black sheep. Christ is the Good
Shepherd, and all his sheep are black sheep. All his sheep are
black sheep. Rotten apples. Rotten apples. Rotten to the
core. That's God's people. That's who
he chooses. Why? Because he gets all glory
that way, by saving them, you see. I've used this illustration
before. Some of you ladies are good cooks,
cook apple pies. Let's say you try to make one
out of rotten apples. Can you do it? Oh, you choose the best. You go out and get granny good,
rich, or whatever they call it, granny delicious, golden delicious,
red delicious, you know. What is a granny apple? I can't
hear you, but granny something. You get the best apples, don't
you? Ham, too. That's not the way God makes
his people. or cooks a pie, if you will.
That's not the way he does it. That's not salvation by God.
God chooses the worst. That's what Paul said in 1 Timothy
1. He said, I'm a pattern of salvation. I'm the chief of sinners. I'm the blasphemer and injurious
and persecute the Church. And this is who God chooses.
Rotten apples, sinners. He went about calling sinners
not to write. He went. He saved harlots, publicans,
The off-scouring. First Corinthians says, you see
your calling, brethren. Now, not many mighty men, not
many noble are calling. Why? God has chosen the foolish
thing. Nothing. Nobody. That's who God
saved. God made this whole world out
of nothing. And He doesn't look for something in us to make or
to save. He only saves nothings. So if
you're a nothing, You say, I'm a nobody. What does God want
with me? He's going to get glory out of
you. Say, I'm somebody. God won't have you. That's good
news to this old boy. Good news. A bruised wreath,
he'll not break. Smoking flats, he shall not quench. He's going to bring forth, he's
going to justify them. It was two fellows who walked
into a temple one day. One was a Pharisee, and they
liked to pray. They liked to be heard praying.
They liked to be seen in their robes and all this, and liked
people to know that they were so religious and holy. And he
lifted up his eyes to heaven, this Pharisee, and said, Oh,
I thank you, Father. He probably talked like this,
Father, I thank you. An affected voice, you know,
how they do. I thank you that I'm not like
other men. I fast, I tithe, I pray. I'm not like this sinner back
here." And then an old publican. Everybody hated publicans. He came in, and he wouldn't even
come up front. He stayed on the back row, and
he would not lift his eyes toward heaven. He was ashamed of himself.
All he would do is pound on his chest and say all he could pray,
the only one thing he knew how to pray was, God be merciful
to me, but sinner, sinner, sinner. What did Jesus Christ say? One of those men was saved. Who
was it? What did Jesus Christ say? Christ said this Pharisee
went away condemned. This old publican justified. Why? What did he ever do for
God, this publican? Nothing. It's what God did for
him. That's salvation. That's what
this thing is all about. That's the reason people worship
Jesus Christ. That's the reason they sing unto him that loved
us. Behold, my servant, he shall
not fail. Oh, I love this verse. Verse
4. You didn't think I was going to get to it, did you? Verse
4, he shall not fail. He shall not fail. Call his name
Jesus. Why? He shall save his people
from their sins. It doesn't say he's going to
try to. It doesn't say anywhere in the scriptures that Jesus
Christ came to try to save anybody. That's utter blasphemy. That's
bringing Jesus Christ down to the level of man trying to do
what he can't do. But he's God, and whatever God
says he's going to do, God does. God says, I've spoken it, I'll
do it. Isn't it? That's what he says
in Isaiah 45, Isaiah 46. God says in Isaiah 46, I have
purposed it, I'll do it. This is what thrills me. He won't
fail. He will not fail or be discouraged. He won't be discouraged. You
remember when the Pharisees said, Now if you be the Christ, tell
us plainly. Remember that? If you be the
Christ, tell us plainly. You know, Christ, all that he
did, all that he said, all that he was, proved that he's the
Christ. Three and a half years. Very
evident. This is no ordinary man. Well, you'd think you'd get discouraged,
wouldn't you? Wouldn't he get discouraged?
Nobody's believing on him. They all want him dead, don't
they? They sought to take him from
day one. If you be the Christ, tell us plainly. He said, I told
you. I told you. But you believe not. Why? You're
not my sheep. He said, as I said unto you,
my sheep, hear my voice. I know them. I'm not trying to
get you to believe on me, Christ said. I know my sheep. I know
them. I know mine. I call them. They
follow me. I'm not discouraged. And I'm not discouraged in preaching.
We don't have a huge crowd here. I'm not discouraged. He said
he's sheep. But hear his voice. What's his
voice? What I'm doing right now. 1 Corinthians 1.21 says, The
world calls it foolishness. God is pleased by the foolishness
of preaching to save them that The foolishness of preaching
is the voice of the Son of God, and they hear it. Some are smiling
right now, smiling. It's as if the voice of Christ
is being heard by them. Others say, I don't see anything,
I don't hear anything. That's just the point. He's got to give
ears to ears, doesn't he? I sat in a pew for years, heard
my pastor, my father, who was my pastor for thirty-some years. I sat there for at least twenty-some
years, and I didn't hear anything. I didn't see anything. I didn't
see anything interesting about all this. I didn't hear anything.
People smiling, people rejoicing. I didn't hear anything interesting. But one day I did. Why? I got religion. No, sir. Paul said, I was apprehended.
That's what Paul said, I was apprehended. By that which now
I apprehend, or go after. Oh, he's not discouraged. He
shall not be discouraged till he has set judgment in the earth.
The isles, look at verse 4, it says the isles shall wait for
his law. It says there in Matthew 5, it says that He went up, and
when he's seeing the multitudes, he says, the isles shall wait
for his law. Seeing the multitudes, he went
up into the mountains and sat down, and they came to him, and
he opened his mouth and said, the isles are waiting for his
law. The multitude is coming. And he said, God said, God walked
this planet, blessed be. and so on and so forth. Verse 5, "...thus saith God the
Lord, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out, he that
spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it, thus
saith Jesus Christ." This is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is
no mere man. John Warren says that in the
beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, the Word was God. All things were made by him,
and without him was not anything made which was made. It goes
on to say, "...the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us." Jesus,
this one name, Jesus, is God. I know what Jehovah's Witnesses
say, but I don't care what Jehovah's Witnesses say. I care what this
book says. It says, "...the Word was made
flesh, and the Word was God. Great is the mystery of Godliness.
God was manifest in the flesh, and we beheld his glory." Call
his name Immanuel. Wow, what does that mean? God
with us. Isaiah 9.6. The Holy Child is
born, a son is given. What are you going to call him?
The Everlasting Father, the mighty God, the Everlasting Father. God walked this planet. He says
he came unto his own, his own received him. No. They were made
by him. They didn't know it. The ox knows
his owner, the ass his master's crib. I've got three horses,
three old, dumb old horses. One of them is not too dumb.
But they know me. They know me. They're dumb animals. Jesus Christ walked this planet,
and those men were made by a higher creature, supposedly, man. They
didn't know him, God. Why? He was robed. He veiled himself in flesh. He
was wearing a body. They didn't know it. One day,
Christ went up on that mountain and took two disciples with him,
remember? Three of them, Peter, James, and John, peeled back
his robe. It's like a man taking off, peeled
back his garment and showed them his glory. God, who dwelleth
in light with no man. They fell down dead, like they
were dead. And that's the reason John wrote
over in 1 John when he said, That which we've seen and heard
we declare unto you. What, John? Life. John, these things are written
unto you that you might believe in the Son of God. God was with
us. No mere pitiful, poor creature
named Jesus. Jesus, this is the Lord of glory. Verse 6, look at that. It says,
I, the Lord of call, thee, and righteousness, Jehovah Sidkenu. Do you know what that name means?
You're blessed if you do. You're blessed if you do. Jehovah
Sidkenu, that means the Lord our righteousness. Isaiah 45
says, Surely shall one say, Jehovah see Kennedy. I'm a Jehovah witness,
and that's the reason I witness of Jesus Christ. He's Jehovah
see Kennedy. Surely shall one say, In the
Lord have I righteousness and strength. In Jesus Christ have
I righteousness. He is the Lord I've called thee in righteousness,
I'll hold your hand, I'll keep thee, and I'll give thee for
a covenant of the people." God Almighty made an agreement, God
spoke an agreement to save a certain people, and he not only wrote
it down, he sat it down. God not only wrote it down in
a book for us to read, this agreement is personal. It's personal, person. Christ said, because I live,
not because it's written, not just because it's written, but
because the word was made flesh. There's a man in God. God said,
I'm going to save some men and women, sinful men and women.
How do I know this? There's a man at the right hand
of God. That's the covenant, that's the agreement God made.
He's the head of it. He's the head of this agreement.
You know, I'm married. I am married. Just smile when I say that. I'm
married. How do I know I'm married? How
do you know I'm married? Do I have to dig out my marriage
certificate every now and then? I don't even know where it is.
Where is that thing, Minda? She doesn't know either. We've been married so long, seventeen
years. Not as long as some of y'all.
Henry Roberta, you ought a hundred, what's he going, about a hundred
now? A long time, right? How do I know I'm married? She
lives. Right there she is. How do I know I'm saved? There's
one that's living at the right hand of God. Not a piece of paper,
not my baptismal certificate. I don't have one of those either.
My dad didn't keep them. It's that covenant head, that
person sitting at the right hand of God. How do you know what
I'm saying? Well, not because of anything
I do. It's because of that one that's
sitting there right now, ever-living, intercede for sinners like I
am. It's not even my faith, because
that's up and down. Oh, I believe. Oh, Lord, help
my unbelief. It's not even my faith. It's
his faithfulness. He said, I'll never leave you
nor forsake you. He said, I give unto them eternal
life. Are you saved? What did he say? How would you have never known
that Lot was saved? Huh? You remember Lot? How would
you have ever known he was saved? There's times when you'd look
at, or Abraham, times when you'd see him. David, times when you'd
see him. You'd think, he ain't no Christian.
Look at him. Listen to Peter. What about if
Peter started cussing that day? It can't be a Christian cuss
like that. Christ says, he's in prime. I bought him. Pay for him. Now, Peter didn't always talk
like that. Every now and then it slips out.
You mash your thumb enough, you work carpentry long enough and
mash your thumb enough, you're going to say something other
than, oh, I wish I hadn't done that. That's just so. Barnard used to say, man, every
now and then, he's neurotic. He's just neurotic if something
doesn't slip. Now, we don't want it to happen.
I'm not excusing that, please. What I'm saying is, God saves
sinners, human beings, human beings, from the pulpit on down,
and not a holy one in a bunch. They're sinners. If you're a
sinner, boy, this is the gospel you need. This is real religion
for real people. This is a real Savior who really
saves real sinners. And so he came to open the blind
eyes, open the blind eye. I didn't see any beauty in him.
There was a time when the scripture says when we see him, there's
no beauty in him that we should desire him. I didn't see, there
was a time when I didn't see any beauty in Jesus Christ, and
now he's altogether lovely. There was a time when I didn't
hear anything in there. But now it's the thing I love
to hear more than anything else. Explain that. I wasn't seeking
God, I wasn't trying to get religion. Salvation is God seeking us. That's what salvation is. Sending
Christ to die for us, paying for us, and sending the Holy
Spirit to tell us about it. That's salvation. And change
it. Verse 7, and to bring out the
prisoners. Bring out the prisoners, set
them free. The sentence has been carried
out. Verse 8, look at it. They said to Christ, they said,
Who are you? He said in John 8, the same I said unto you in
the beginning. Who? Verse 8, I am the Lord. That's
my name. I'm the Lord. That's my name. Over in John 13, he said, You
call me Master and Lord. And you say, well, for so I am. You call me Master and Lord.
Men don't call him Lord today, they call him Jesus. None can call him Lord but by
the Holy Spirit. You get that? Those that know
him call him the Lord. He said, you call me Master and
Lord, and you say, well, for I am. I am the Lord. That's my name. And my glory
will I not give to another." You can believe in this other
Jesus all you want. Read it. He said, it's a graven
image. Don't give my praise to graven
images. I won't give my praise to graven images. I'm not going
to worship with all these that call on this Jesus, this fellow
that tried to save and can't. I'm not going to bow before a
man. I'm not going to bow before a statue, and I'm not going to
pray to a mere mortal man or a woman, for that matter. I'm
going to pray to the one mediator between God and men, the man,
Christ Jesus. I'm going to worship the one
who is God manifest in the flesh, him, not a graven image. Verse 9, Behold, he said, the
former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare before
they spring forth. I'm telling you about them. He said, I do all my pleasure,
all things that come to pass. Why? Because I said so. New things
I'm going to do, and they'll come to pass. Why? Because I
said so. He said, I do all my pleasure. I open doors, he said. I don't just knock on them, I
open them. What the Lord opens, no man can
shut. He said, I come calling, they
come following. I came to seek and save the lost,
what did he do? He found them, he saved them. Before the things that come to
