we are going to be in the book
of Zechariah and this I think will be our last lesson in Zechariah
chapter 8 verse 23 now this so much in this passage of scripture
we've looked at it and there's much said in here about the gospel
and the one who is the gospel the Lord Jesus Christ and the
effect that they Gospel has on people his people and Where he
will find his people is mentioned here and that he will draw them
all to himself that is mentioned in here in this passage of scripture
So the Zechariah the prophet was used to preach the gospel
in the Old Testament same as we preach the gospel today So
it says in Zechariah chapter 8 verse 23 Thus saith the Lord Thus saith the Lord of hosts,
In those days it shall come to pass that ten men shall take
hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take
hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go
with you, for we have heard that God is with you. That is such
an interesting statement made in that verse of scripture. That's
an interesting sentence that Zachariah was called on by the
Holy Spirit to write for us, to write for them, but to write
for us these many years later and we can look at it and as
we compare scripture with scripture we're able to see that Zachariah
was preaching about the Lord Jesus Christ and the effect that
the gospel of the Lord Jesus has on people in all nations
and all peoples. now it doesn't say that all people
come to him but it does mention him a figurative number here
there is a the number 10 there's going to be some that come out
of these nations and all of these languages and we read a passage
of scripture over there in the book of revelation last time
that shared with us that he has people in every kindred nation
people in tongue so he has his people he's drawing them out
now we notice in here that the Lord of hosts said this this
is the God Almighty this is the Lord of glory and he mentions
that there are going to be people coming Now we notice in here
they're going to take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew.
And last week we looked and we see that the Lord Jesus is the
only one that can actually fulfill this passage of scripture. It's
not just because someone has a heritage, a Jewish heritage,
that they're going to know something. We need someone of Jewish heritage
that knows something. And the only one that knows all
things is this one, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Lord
Jesus Christ. So, they're going to take hold
of Him. This is something that is so
vital. When the Lord deals with us,
we take hold of Him. We come to Him. We're brought
out of all places coming to Him. Now, as we mentioned last week,
we may stay. We may live in the place that
He found us. physically, but we're going to
be in a far different position spiritually. We're going to come
to Christ. We're going to worship Christ.
We're going to bow to Christ. He is going to be our Lord. He's
going to be our master. We're going to serve him because
he's King of kings and Lord of lords. Now it tells us here in
that last part of that verse, it says the cry of those that
have heard him, we will go with you. We will go with you. What a statement that is. We
will go with you. Now the illustration we find
with regard to Ruth and to her mother-in-law Naomi. We find
there that there was a bond that was created there. Ruth heard
the gospel as the gospel was brought from out here into the
hinterlands and these folks knew something about God and they
shared that message about the Lord Jesus Christ the Savior
the Messiah that would come and take away of the sin issue when
it came time for the mother-in-law to go back to to Judah Ruth said
your God is my God and your people are my people and that's kind
of what we have here in this passage of scripture we will
go out of all the nations and out of all the languages we will
go with you for we have heard that God is with you now when
we closed last week we noticed a verse and I would like you
to go there again and that's in the book of Amos it's another
of the minor prophets here in the Old Testament minor because
of length not content short books but they're filled to the brim
of the gospel and the goodness of God to his people here in
the book of Amos chapter 3 the book of Amos chapter 3 we have
a profound statement made here with regard to our walk with
God or his walk with us I should say it tells us here in the book
of Amos chapter 3 and verse 3 can two walk together Now the Lord
is walking in one direction. The Lord is walking in righteousness. The Lord is walking as God Almighty. The Lord is walking in His glory. He is walking in one direction
and He doesn't divert from that direction. He is not going to
divert to the right hand or to the left hand. He is God and
beside Him there is none else. So if anybody walks with him,
there has to be an agreement. And that agreement has to be
that we agree with God. And he doesn't agree with us. He saved us out of that nonsense.
So can two walk together except they be agreed? And when we apply
this to the Lord Jesus Christ, we find that if we're going to
walk with him, we have to have a change. We must be born again. We must be raised from our spiritual
deadness. We must be given light. We must
be given hearing. We must be given ability to walk.
We must be given the ability to hear. And that is the only
way that we can walk with God, because He's not going to change
His mind, and He's not going to change the gospel, and He's
not going to change His righteousness, and He's not going to change
anything about Him. He says He changes not. He is immutable. He changes not. There's not a
shadow of turning with Him. So what He began in the council
halls of eternity is what He will stand by through eternity
in the future when we're all gathered around His throne. So
He's not going to move. So if anything's going to happen,
God's going to have to do it, and He's going to bring His people
walking beside Him. There must be this agreement.
And the agreement is found in the gospel. And when he gives
us the belief to believe the gospel, we agree with him. We
don't argue with him. We don't argue with his word.
We don't go around saying, I don't believe that. Now, as I've mentioned
many times, there's many things in the scriptures that we don't
understand. But we don't go around saying, I don't believe it. Because
when we say that, we're on, well, we're an unbeliever. or just
an unbeliever. So turn with me if you would
over to the book of Genesis. In the book of Genesis chapter
6 Genesis chapter 6 we find this individual by the name of Noah. Now in Genesis chapter 6 and
verse 9 we have the statement made in order for God to walk
with us there must be God in us. There must be the new birth. We must be born again before
he will walk with us. So here in the book of Genesis
chapter 6 we find another passage of scripture that shares with
us that someone walked with God. Now God's people are going to
walk with God. It's just not Noah. It's just not Enoch. It's God's
people are going to walk with him. Now it tells us here in
the book of Genesis chapter 6 and verse 9. These are the generations
of Noah. Noah was a just man and perfect. What does that mean? What does
it mean to be perfect? He was righteous. How did he
get to be righteous? Because of Christ. That's how
he got to be righteous. He had the imputed righteousness
of Christ. He was just before God. He was
perfect before God in salvation. It wasn't that he was a good
man and God rewarded him. He was a wreck of a man by nature. He was a child of Adam by nature. He was just like everybody else.
and God worked a work of grace in him and now it says he was
perfect in his generation and Noah walked with God. What a
blessing it was for Noah to walk with God because all around Noah
was just like we find today in our world and it's always been
that way that God's people walking with God are in a strange land
because there's a whole bunch of people going the other direction
and if it isn't for the grace of God they'll continue to go
in the other direction just like we would have if God had not
come and brought the gospel and brought us out of that nonsense
and shared with us this Holy Spirit in regeneration so that
we could say, my Lord and my God. So we have these folks that
are coming out of these nations and there are many languages Brother Lance shared with us
when he was here that there's quite a number of folks down
there in New Guinea that you wouldn't be able to speak to
and they wouldn't be able to understand you, but they have
the same righteousness, the righteousness of God imputed to them. They're
believers in Christ Jesus. They're another language, but
they have this whole blessing from God given to them just like
he does for us. There is a passage of scripture
I want to read in the book of 2nd Corinthians that goes along
with this and it just shares why in the world and I've had
a number of folks tell me that their children were saved when
they were young but they're just not serving the Lord now they're
70 years old. Well let's look over here in
the book of 2nd Corinthians for just a moment. in the book of
2nd Corinthians they're in chapter 6 2nd Corinthians chapter 6 and
verse 14 we have these words left for us he says be not unequally
yoked together now God is not going to be unequally yoked together
God is going to bring about a change and God's people are going to
walk with him now He carries us. That's the important thing.
He's carrying us. Now we still have this wreck
of the flesh. It's a vile flesh. But God is working out His work
completely and totally. He has saved His people from
their sins. He says, to be unequally yoked
together with unbelievers. For what fellowship hath righteousness
with unrighteousness? In order to have a fellowship
with the Lord, what do we have to have? We have to have His
righteousness. That's the only way we're going to enjoy fellowship
with Him. And He breaks down that attitude that we had by
nature of being an enmity with God and not subject to the law
of God. Neither, indeed, could be subject
to the law of God. He's broken down that middle
wall of partition. He's broken it, taken it out. And now we
have that fellowship where we can call Him Father. where we
can call him Lord, where we can call him a master. And it goes
on to tell us here, and what communion hath light with darkness? The Lord doesn't have communion
with darkness. He is light personified. God is light and in him is no
darkness at all. So it's a blessing that we find
out that when God saves us, not only does he take away all that
nonsense, but he gives us the light and we have fellowship
with him. we have fellowship with god we have fellowship to
the lord jesus christ and then it tells us here in verse fifteen
and what concord has christ with belial or what part has he that
believeth with him an infidel and what agreement at the temple
of god with idols for ye were the temple of the living god
as god has said i will dwell in them and walk in them and
i will be their god and they shall be my people covenant blessings
brought out by the Apostle Paul quoted from the Old Testament
and Personified in the Lord Jesus Christ. He said they shall be
my people I'll be their God and they shall be my people and guess
what we're walking in the same direction He has called us out
of these places. He's called us out of this sin.
He's called us out of our natural state He's called us out of a
horrible pit he's brought us and we've come we've come to
latch hold of him and to lay hold of Him, to have Him as the
important one, the one we lean on, the one we trust, the one
we're just confident in Him. Well, we find that the heart
has been given a desire to come, to be. The heart has been given
our natural heart, a stony heart, black heart. He gives us a new
heart and that heart loves him. That heart is in affection with
the Lord. He gives us legs to come. Boy,
we're like Mephibosheth by nature, but he brought us, we have legs
to come. We have eyes to see the way, ears to hear the call. knows to smell the sweetness.
How many times in the Song of Solomon do we have something
about the sweetness of the Lord Jesus Christ? And when we go
through the scriptures and we see that, we see the sweetness
of the Lord, and then the hands to grasp his skirt, hands to
grasp his skirt, spiritually speaking. And why do these folks
come? Why do they come? As it tells
us there in the book of Zechariah chapter 8. Why do they come? It says there, even they shall
come and take hold out of all languages of nations, even shall
take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, we will
go with you. Now why do they come? For we have heard. We have heard. We've heard something. We've
heard something from God. The gospel was brought to us.
We have heard something. They heard something. To hear,
this word means to hear intelligently, often with implication, with
attention. This is God-given hearing. Now, you know, working in a woodshop
for a number of years, I've lost some hearing. But I may completely
go deaf But I get the privilege of hearing Christ in the Scriptures. Hearing Him. Hearing the blessings
of the Lord Jesus Christ. Hearing was granted to these
dead people. You know, in some miraculous
way, that man that was in a tomb was quickened and heard the voice
of the Lord Jesus Christ when he said, Lazarus, come forth. God had quickened him and now
he could hear. prior to that there was no hearing
and we find by nature that we're dead in trespasses and sin and
we need to be quickened or made alive in order to hear hearing
was granted to the uh... dead person the voice of god
the word of god is another language to an unbeliever it is just not
comprehensible it puts new light on that passage of scripture
over there in the book of first corinthians chapter two where
it says that the Scriptures are spiritually discerned. You know, we can wrestle with
that all we want, but that really means you're just not going to
understand the Scriptures properly unless the Lord gives you the
new birth. Turn with me over to that passage
of Scripture in the book of 1 Corinthians chapter 2. 1 Corinthians chapter
2. These people that came out of
all these places, out of all these nations, had all these
languages, Do you remember what happened
on the day of Pentecost? All those people were drawn to
Jerusalem for a holy day and by God's grace they were brought
under the hearing of the gospel. Here in the book of 1 Corinthians
chapter 2, 1 Corinthians chapter 2 and we read there beginning
with verse 12 1st Corinthians chapter 2 verse 12 it says now
we have received not the spirit of the world isn't that wonderful
God doesn't give the spirit of the world he gives us the spirit
of God but the spirit which is of God that we might know the
things that are freely given to us of God We never had a clear
view of the word of God until after we'd been born again. And
then it is a daily looking at the scriptures and growing in
grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
It's just a, it's an ongoing success story that God shares
with us in the scriptures. How successful our savior is
in everything he intends to do and how glorious is the church
because he had an interest in them before the foundation of
the world and how he is interested enough to go out and find them
and bring them to him and they're given the faith to latch hold
of him. Then they find out they've already
been latched hold of. by the Lord." Going on it tells
us here, "...which things also we speak, not in the words which
man's wisdom teacheth." Boy, there's no room for that. There's
no room for man's wisdom in this because man doesn't really have
any wisdom. It's just man-made contrivance.
It's man-made religion. It's to make man feel better. But this, it is the wisdom of
God, "...which the Holy Ghost teacheth, comparing spiritual
things with spiritual." So we have the scriptures to compare
and the Holy Spirit teaches us these things. And the Holy Spirit
teaches us the same thing. Now He may teach you something
different from me on that given day, but everybody is going to
be taught the very exact same message about the Lord. We're
not going to have various things about the Lord to have separation
over. There's going to be unanimity
here. And then it goes on to say, but the natural man, The
natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God.
It used to concern me, why couldn't I convince my brother? Why couldn't I convince my friend
of the gospel? Why couldn't I do that? You know,
after you go to the scriptures you find out why. They're just
as dead as I was. They're just as far spent as
I was when the gospel was brought to me. So it says here, the natural
man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God. They have
no interest. No interest. And if it wasn't
for God convincing us, wasn't for God revealing to us, wasn't
for God for raising us, we'd go the rest of our life that
way. It goes on to tell us here, But the natural man receiveth
not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness
unto him, neither can he know them, because they are spiritually
discerned." God speaks in a totally different language than our natural
language. He may use the same words, but
it just doesn't mean anything to us when we hear the Gospel.
We are always looking at it. That doesn't apply to me. and
i'm thankful that i'm not like other folks are and especially
as we know the message that is brought out there so we have
heard we have heard remember what the lord told the apostle
peter when peter confessed that good confession thou art the
christ the son of the living god remember what christ told
him Peter had to take that to the bank because he knew that
he didn't discover anything on his own. Christ told him, flesh
and blood did not reveal this unto you, but my Father which
is in heaven. So it's a revelation. Peter was going to know that.
God's people are going to know that. This is a revealed truth.
We don't figure it out on our own. We may have some surmisings
about the scripture, but when God reveals Christ to us, the
Scripture becomes the message of Christ. We're looking for
Christ. So, we have heard. That's what those folks said.
We have heard. We have heard. Somebody brought
the message of grace and God honored that word. He intended
to save those people out of every kindred, nation, people, and
tongue anyway. That was his purpose. That's
why the gospel was put in that place. That's why he found you
where you were. It's just like the Ethiopian
eunuch. God knew where he was and he knew where his preacher
was and he brought them together. And God had that preacher preaching
to him beginning at the same place he preached unto him Jesus
that's what the message tells us so we have heard now what
did they hear that God is with you that God is with you what a blessing
it is to realize by the grace of God that the Lord Jesus Christ
God come in the flesh God come in the flesh now would you turn
with me there's an interesting passage of scripture over the
book of Joshua just before that great city of Jericho fell we
have some spies going over there and the Lord led them to a lady
now she had a very poor reputation where she lived and we find that
she is mentioned by this poor reputation all the way through
the scriptures and God intends for us to know that God saves
only sinners. God saves sinners. He's the friend
of sinners. He died for sinners. He died
for the dead in trespasses and sin. Here in the book of Joshua
this lady is mentioned in Joshua chapter 2. Now notice what she
has to say about what's going on. Notice what she has to say
about what's going on. Those children of Israel have
traveled for forty years in the wilderness. Forty years. That old generation
passed on. Here we have this generation.
It's been numbered just as we find in the book of Numbers.
They've entered into the land that God had promised them. And
it tells us here concerning Rahab. Verse 9 of chapter 2. And she
said unto the men, I know. How does she know this, living
in a pagan city like Jericho? I know that the Lord hath given
you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all
the inhabitants of the land faint because of you. I know this. How did she know this? Same way
that those people out in the hinterlands knew something about
Christ had been revealed to them. Someone taught her, someone shared
with her. Well, for we have heard how the
Lord dried up the water. We have heard this. Now, a whole
bunch of people didn't pay much attention to it. When these two,
these spies went over these two spies, there's only one person
that they're led to, and that's Rahab the harlot. Everybody else
had heard the news, but only one was led to about the news
that Israel is here. God is here. The God that crossed
the children of Israel over the Red Sea is now here crossing
the Jordan River. We have heard how the Lord dried
up the water of the Red Sea 40 years ago. We have heard this
message. It was brought to us. Listen
to me, I got something to tell you. dried up the water of the Red
Sea for you when ye came out of Egypt, and what ye did unto
the two kings of the Amorites that were on the other side of
the Jordan, Sihon and Og, who ye utterly destroyed. And as
soon as we heard these things, our hearts did melt, neither
did there remain any more courage in any man because of you. For
the Lord your God, He is God." How many other people in Jericho
made that confession? your God what's that say for
the Lord your God he is God in heaven above and earth beneath
now therefore I pray swear unto me by the Lord since I have showed
you kindness that you also will show me kindness unto my father's
house and give me a true token and we find out that she and
her family were the only one spared when Jericho fell How
did she know? How did she know? How did those
folks out there in the hinterlands know? The message was brought
to them, and there's only a few that heard it. The message was
brought, but only a few. The declaration was made, but
only a few. Only a few heard that. Well,
we find that same message over there in the book of Isaiah,
chapter one, where it says, except there was a very small remnant,
we should have been as Sodom and Gomorrah a very small remnant
and then we find in the New Testament there is a remnant according
to the election of grace so there were ten that came just a symbolic
number of a small group called a remnant brought out of those
places now where did they come to? we have heard that God is
with you we have heard that God is with you What a blessing! Well, let's just look at a couple
verses of scripture over here in the book of John. As we read
about our Savior, the Lord Jesus, in the book of John, John chapter
10. John chapter 10. We've heard
of you that God is with you. Now, that's a confession of faith. God is with you. You know what? Only God originally recognized
his son, this is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased. Only
God recognized that to begin with and then he gave that revelation
to one very important person over there in the Old Testament
by the name of Abel. He gave that revelation to Adam
and Eve. but not to the other brother
a revelation this is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased
well here in the book of John chapter 10 we read these beautiful
words John chapter 10 verse 29 my father which gave them me
gave well These are the sheep that he was given before the
foundation of the world. My Father gave them to me. They're
a gift from the Father on the promise that I'd pay their sin
debt. I would have their sin imputed
to me and I'd impute my righteousness to them. Thank God. My Father
which gave them me is greater than all and no man is able to
pluck them out of my Father's hand. Now notice here verse 30. I and my Father are one. What
was there about this? We have heard that God is with
you. My goodness, my father and I
are one. I and my father are one. If you'd
believe Moses, you'd believe me. If you believe the message
of Moses, you'd know me. If you know my father, you'd
know me. You believe not because you're not of my sheep. That's
what he says. So we have heard that God is with you. We have
heard that this is God come in the flesh and he is well pleased
with you. He is satisfied. He, as the 53rd
chapter of the book of Isaiah shares with us so many times
of that one chapter, how blessed the Lord Jesus, how blessed the
father was in that transaction that took place. in John chapter
15 and verse 24 would you turn there with me John chapter 15
and verse 24 glorious message that we find throughout the scriptures
John chapter 15 and verse 24 the scriptures tell us this If
I had not done among them the works which none of other men
did, they had not had sin. But now they have both seen and
hated both Me and My Father." Hated Me and My Father. Why? Because they are so Entwined
it is such a triunity. Oh They all have a purpose of
grace and they all have their special work in the covenant
of grace in bringing their the people of God out of sin out
of darkness and bringing them to that to the light that God
is with you the father is with this one and the father, the
son, and the Holy Spirit. They are working in such unity
to redeem the people of God that he gave the son before the foundation
of the world. Hated me and my father. If you'd
have known me, you should have known my father also. So here's
some folks coming out of the hinterlands that have this to
say. We will go with you because we
have heard that God is with you God is with you that God Heavenly
Father is with you and what a statement we have made God spoke at the
baptism and at the Mount of Transfiguration these words this is my beloved
son in whom I am well pleased hear ye him we have heard that
God is with you Now Rahab the harlot had heard that too. God
is with you. We have Moses has heard that
God is with you. And we have that wonderful sacrifice
that Abel made. He's saying God is with you.
God is with the Son. In the book of 2 Peter, 2 Peter,
we have in the book of 2 Peter, Peter is going back from a historical point of view,
he's going back to the Transfiguration. This is just a blessing. In 2
Peter chapter 1 verse 17, Peter was there on that day, and we
know what Peter had to say. Peter said, we should build three
tabernacles here, one for Moses, one for Elias, and one for you.
Boy, it wasn't very long we don't need a tabernacle to
the law we don't need a tabernacle to the Old Testament prophets
because they all spoke of Christ so it says 2 Peter chapter 1
verse 17 it says for he received from God the Father honor and
glory he received we have heard that God is with you He received
from God the Father honor and glory when there came such a
voice to him from the excellent glory. Now how precious it is
that Peter adds these words to what we find in the Gospels about
the Mount of Transfiguration. There was a glory there that
was superlative, so outstanding. But he adds these words, he says,
from the excellent glory. this this is the message that
came this is the voice that spoke in glory about his glorious son
our savior the lord jesus this is my beloved son in whom I am
well pleased so it's no wonder these folks came from the hinterlands
and said we will go with you for we have heard that God is
with you But a host of people have been brought out of darkness
to the marvelous light of the Lord Jesus Christ by the preaching
of the gospel and by the work of the Holy Spirit to come to
Christ. He is the only mediator between
God and man, the man Christ Jesus. Now there is an example in the
scriptures and we're going to go over here to the book of Mark
chapter 5. This will be our last reading for tonight, Mark chapter
5. beginning with verse 25 Mark chapter 5 verse 25 and a certain woman now that
this is a very specific woman she's a certain woman brought
out in the scriptures she's just not someone passing by but this
is a certain woman which had an issue of blood twelve years
now she had a serious health issue and the Lord is going to
demonstrate through this serious health issue the only one that
can take care of serious spiritual issues the Lord. And she had
suffered many things of many physicians. She had gone to this
doctor and that doctor and you know we might apply this today.
We might go to this church and we get tired of that and we go
to that church and we get tired of that and we go to this church
because nothing is different. I got a letter from somebody
that wanted money from our church because he's going to start a
church down in California. I got a letter that I'm going
to write back to him because he didn't say anything about
he believed and what's the use of starting another church down
in the area that believes exactly the same thing as another hundred
churches believe. I mean identical gospel and it
is not a gospel. But this woman had been treated
by many doctors and she was no better than when she started.
When she heard of Jesus, there's that we've heard of you. heard
of Jesus, came in the press behind and touched his garment. For she said, If I may touch
but his clothes, I shall be whole. Now how did she know that? How
did she know? How do you know? How did you
know that by coming to Christ and then find out he's drawing
you, that you would be healed? God has to share that with us.
We've got to know that from God. God has to be the one that gives
us that. We've been going here and we've been going there, but
here, and then it says, And straightway the fountain of her blood was
dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the
plague. There's no greater news to hear
that our sin is put away. He hath put away sin by the sacrifice
of himself. how to realize that all the efforts
on our part, all the efforts on other people's part, was in
vain. But this is the healing of God. He truly saves us from our sin. And Jesus immediately, knowing
in himself that virtue had gone out, and the disciples bring
up a good point, you know, hundreds of people have touched you. What
are you talking about? Only one touched her, the Lead of God.
Only one came, the blood of God. Only one came because of the
Spirit's work in her heart. Only one came. Only ten came
out of all these countries, nations, peoples, and tongues. But they
were serious about coming because they said, we will go with you
because we have heard that God is with you. And they come. And
so it goes on. Immediately, who touched my clothes? And his disciples said unto him,
thou seest the multitude strong in thee, and thou sayest, who
touched me? and he looked round about to see her that had done
this thing but the woman fearing and trembling knowing that was
done in her came and fell down before him and told him all the
truth what a statement we're going through the book of Romans
chapter one there tonight and all that last few verses of that
list I mean it's a diabolical list things and only the church
reading those passages scriptures for last three verses a chapter
of one of the Book of Romans and they will say you're right
Lord that's me I may not know the meaning of every word that
is there but that's me that's what I was that's where you found
me and then it goes on to say and he said unto her daughter
thy faith hath made thee whole go in peace and be whole of thy
plague. when we start looking at numbers,
very small. But thus saith the Lord of hosts,
in those days shall come to pass that ten men shall take hold
out of all languages of nations, even shall take hold of the skirt
of him that is a Jew. This is the only true Jew, the
Lord Jesus. He's the only pure one. All the
rest had Adam's sin imputed to them. He that is a Jew, saying,
We will go with you, for we have heard that God is with you. What a blessing that these folks
could come, and what a blessing it is to have folks still come
and say, I want to go with him. I've heard that God is with him.
The God-man, the Lord Jesus Christ.
