Well, if you would make your
way back to Luke chapter 7, where we were for a little while this
morning, Luke chapter 7. In this scripture, we have three
people. First one is Pharisee. It is said that at the very height
of their authority and power, There are more than 6,000 Pharisees
in Israel. The word means divided or separated. They were separated from the
ordinary folks. They believed themselves to be
greatly and vastly superior in knowledge and in intelligence. and in righteousness to the other
people. They were self-righteous men.
They went about to establish a righteousness of their own. And they would not submit to
the righteousness of God, for Christ is the end of the law
for righteousness to everyone that believe it. But they wouldn't
believe it. They're trying to establish their own righteousness.
They live by the law. So they said. And they were endeavoring
by their own goodness to be accepted by God. They gave equal weight
to the word of God and the word of the dead elders. They were
Pharisees. And in Luke chapter 7, we have
a Pharisee by the name of Simon. Lots of Simons in the Bible,
so he's not to be confused with any of the other ones that are
brought up. He's Simon the Pharisee, and
he invited the Savior over to his house for most likely a Sabbath
day dinner. He's one of the ones who rejected
the counsel of God against himself. And my friends, by the grace
of God, we're going to have to take sides with God against ourselves. Isn't that right? We've got to
take sides with God against ourselves. We're all for ourselves. We're
totally self-centered by nature. And we think ourselves, every
man, every woman thinks themselves to be better than we are. But the Word of God says all
have sinned and come short of the glory of God. And we're all
wretched. We're all wicked. We're all defiled. We all came forth from the womb
speaking lies. We're all alike rejecters of
the counsel of God. But by His grace, There are some
who receive the counsel of God. There are some who believe God's
Word that speaks out against us, against our sinfulness, against
our depravity, against our supposed goodness. We just don't have
any, do we? We just don't have any righteousness. We're not seekers of the Lord.
Every word that comes forth from our lips is as the poison of
asps. There's none that doeth good,
no, not one. Therefore, by the deeds of the
law, you see, no flesh can be justified in God's sight. But these Pharisees, they're
blind to their condition. They're blind to their sinfulness.
and they rejected God's counsel against them. This is one of
those fellows. He's Simon the Pharisee. Now, this man along with the
other Pharisees, they all hated the Lord Jesus. They had already
accused Him of blasphemy. Look back in chapter 5. You'll remember this story. Chapter
5, look at verse 18. chapter 5 of Luke, verse 18. And behold, men brought in a
bed a man that was taken in palsy. They sought means to bring him
in to lay him before the Savior. And when they couldn't find any
way by which they might bring him in because of the multitude,
they went up on the housetop, led him down through the tiling
with his couch into the midst of Jesus. And when he saw their
faith, Interesting wording there, isn't it? When he saw their faith,
he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee. And the scribes
and the Pharisees, they began to reason, saying, Who is this
which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God
alone? They're already angry with him.
He's a blasphemer as far as they're concerned. And this man Simon,
he's numbered among this group. He's a Pharisee. Now second,
go back to Luke chapter 7. Secondly, here's a sinner. A notorious sinner. She's a prostitute. She's a woman who has a vile
lifestyle. She has no redeeming qualities. And I'm sure when Simon, if he
noticed when she first came in to listen in on the dinner conversation,
he was embarrassed by her very presence. She has nothing to recommend
her to man, and she has nothing to recommend her to God. She
has no goodness. She has no righteousness. She
is just a poor sinner and nothing at all. But she found, by the grace of
God, a blessed Savior who became her all in all. Here is a sinner. You got a Pharisee, you got a
sinner. The third one is the Lord of
glory. And we know He is the Lord of
glory from the fact that He read the thoughts of the Pharisee. Look at verse 39. Verse 39, Now
when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, He saw what this woman did. She
stood at his feet, verse 38, behind him weeping, and began
to wash his feet with her tears, and did wipe them with the hairs
of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
And when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within
himself, just in his own thoughts, in his own mind, saying, this
man, If he were a prophet, if he were that prophet Moses spoke
about, well, he would have known who and what manner of woman
this is that toucheth him. For she is a sinner. And verse
40, and Jesus answering him, answering his thoughts. Who can
know your thoughts save God alone? I've got a few poor thoughts
in my brain. But the only way you can know
my poor thoughts is if I put these thoughts into vehicles
that we call words. But our Lord Jesus doesn't need
us to put our thoughts into these vehicles called words in order
to know what we are thinking. He reads our thoughts. In fact,
He knows our thoughts before we ever think them. Oh, how great
is the Son of God. He's the Lord of glory. And He's the one who can forgive
her of her sins. Drop down a little further here
in chapter 7. Look down at verse 47. or down to verse 48, and he said
unto her, Thy sins are forgiven. Now, even the Pharisees had already
acknowledged, and we've already read this, nobody can forgive
sins but God alone. But he did forgive her sins.
Well, then who is he? He's God. Well, how did he forgive
her of her sins? Did he just go presto, they're
all gone? No, he would die for her sins
according to the scriptures in order that God's justice would
be satisfied which demanded death for sins. All of the sins of
this woman, all of my sins, all of your sins, the mass of sins,
the multitude of sins, our Lord Jesus had them imputed to Him. He said, charge them all to my
count. And he stood before the law of
God, before the justice of God, before the vengeance of God,
and the arrows of divine justice set a target on his heart and
shot every arrow out of the, what do you call that thing you
hold the arrows in? Not the bow, the quiver. You pull it with
the bow, the quiver. Emptied every arrow out of the
quiver till justice had no more arrows. And justice was satisfied. And the Lord Jesus said, it's
finished. How is it that sins can be forgiven? How can a just God and a holy
God in whose eyes the heavens aren't pure This God who charges
His angels with folly. How can this God, the God of
the Bible, the God with whom we have to do, the God who judges
according to the strict standard of righteousness, how can He
forgive you and me without compromising His law that demands death? Oh,
blessed, bleeding, dying, suffering Savior. That's how. And the law is satisfied. And
justice says it's enough. It's all I require. That's all
justice required. Oh, what a big price he paid,
his death. Now justice can demand no more. There is therefore now no condemnation
to them who are in Christ Jesus. And that word condemnation means
judgment. There is no judgment. Aren't
you afraid of the judgment day? Oh wait! Judgment day was 2,000
years ago when the Savior died on the tree and sealed our pardon
with His blood, put our sins away and brought in everlasting
righteousness. And He says to His people, your
sins which are many are all forgiven. What sweet, sweet words. Your sins are forgiven. Who can
forgive sins but God alone? Now this woman, notice this.
She fell at his feet and kissed his feet before he ever spoke
the words of forgiveness. Before she had any assurance
any promise that everything was all right with God, that something
would be done about her sins, she was already worshiping. She
was already bowing before Him. She was already kissing His feet
because she adored Him. She was worshiping Him. Listen,
I'm thankful for the forgiveness of sins. I'm thankful for the
righteous standing in Jesus Christ. My sins imputed to Him and His
righteousness imputed to me. I'm thankful for the gifts that
He's given me, the gift of life, the gift of repentance, the gift
of faith. All of these wonderful blessings
that God has given me, but don't get so wrapped up in the blessings
that you forget all of these blessings are in one place, in
one person, in one reservoir. Christ Jesus the Lord. She's
worshiping Him. Before she ever got any assurance
of forgiveness, she's already kissing His feet. She's already honoring Him. She's
at His feet. What a wonderful place to be.
At His feet. This is the right place for a
sinner. At His feet. Because only He
can forgive sins. And we ought to be at His feet
because of who He is. Why, He's God over all, blessed
forever. He is the eternal Son of God. And he's the one who was our
everlasting surety. He stood for us in the covenant
of grace. He stepped up for us. And he said, Father, I accept
all of these, your elect as a gift. And if they owe you anything,
put it to my account. Charge it to me. I'll repay. I'll repay. And from right then
and there, if I could put it that way, back in old eternity,
God the Father looked to His Son for total responsibility
for our salvation. Salvation's never been conditioned
upon the sinner, because if it was to be conditioned upon us,
there wouldn't be any hope for us, would there be? There wouldn't
be any hope for any of you. And sure enough, I know there
wouldn't be any hope for me, but the Savior said, I'll take
care of it. And God Himself provided the
Lamb, and God Himself is the Lamb that was provided, even
in the covenant of grace before the foundation of the world. We worship Him as God. After all, who but God could
put away our sins by His death? Well, there have been a lot of
martyrs down through the years, but they didn't put anybody's
sins away. There have been a lot of great teachers of the scriptures
who've given their lives. They've sealed the gospel with
their blood. But did the death of any of those
fellows put sins away? Why, of course not. Only one death will do it. And it's the death of the God-man.
Only one blood will wash sin away. It's the blood of God. You say, what? You can't say
that it's the blood of God. Paul's dead. In Acts chapter
20 verse 28, I reckon I can say it as well. Bought with his blood, purged
with his blood. Who he is? He's God. She worshipped
Him as God at His feet. Isn't that where we ought to
be? At His feet? Would you kiss Him on the cheek
like Judas did? Think about this. He's the man
who kissed the door to heaven and went to hell. He kissed the
way to heaven and went to hell. He stood eyeball to eyeball with
the Lord Jesus Christ. There's a son of God, the Savior,
the substitute for sinners. And he walked up to him and planted
a kiss on his cheek. And shortly after that he died
and he perished in the regions of the damned where he remains
to this day suffering God's everlasting wrath. Kiss the Son. Where will you
kiss Him? On the cheek? Or will you be like this dear
sister? At His feet, kissing His feet. It's the right place to be. Look
over in Luke chapter 8. Let me show you a few of these.
Look at Luke chapter 8. You remember our Lord, He told
His disciples Look at Luke 8.22. Luke 8.22, just a couple of pages
over. It came to pass on a certain
day that he went into a ship with his disciples and he said
to them, let's go over to the other side of the lake. And they
launched forth. So he said, let's go over. They
needed to go over. There were a couple of things
that were needful here. They needed to see and know and
realize his almighty power. They were weak in faith. And
we know a great storm arose. He's asleep. That shows his real
humanity. See, he's altogether God, but
he's a man, too. And he's asleep. He's weary.
And the storm arises by his purpose, on account of his purpose. He's
bringing it to pass. And they're fearful they're going
to die in the storm, and they awake Him. They say in verse
24, Master, Master, we perish. Another one of the Gospel writers
said, Carest thou not that we perish? And He arose, He rebuked the
wind, the raging of the water. They ceased, there was a calm.
They needed to see and experience and realize again who this man
is. He's God Almighty who can speak
to an angry sea and it just absolutely calms down. He can speak to the
wind and the wind obeys His voice. One of the reasons for going
over was so that their faith would be strengthened at seeing
the Son of God. But look at verse 26. Here's
another reason. There's one of his elect on the
other side of the sea. They arrived at the country of
the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee, went forth to
land. They met him out of the city
a certain man. He's a certain man. hand-picked before the world
began. One of God's elect. One of the
sheep. And I tell you, if you'd gone
out visiting door to door, knocking on doors, inviting people to
come to church, I doubt if you'd gone where this man dwelt. You'd
have probably said to yourselves, well, let's don't go over there.
He's in the cemetery. He dwells among the dead. We
won't invite him to church. Because you know, you know, There
is nothing to him. No, you don't know anything at
all. You don't know who God's elect are. But he does. That's why we preach the gospel
to everybody. We tell people the glad tidings
of who Christ is and what he did and why he did it and where
he is now. And somebody is going to believe
this gospel. Who are the somebody's? His lost
sheep. And if you say there in your
arrogance, well, this is not for me, well, maybe it isn't. But it's for somebody. It's for
somebody. It's for this fellow. He got
the land. There was a man, a certain man
met him. He had devils a long time. He wore no clothes. He
didn't abide in any house. He abode in the tombs. He dwelt
among dead people. Don't we all? Don't we all? We dwell among dead people. And when he saw Jesus, he cried
out. He fell down before him with
a loud voice and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou
Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not. Parentheses. Luke tells us this
now by the inspiration of the Spirit of God. For he had commanded
the unclean spirit to come out of the man, for oft times it
had caught him, And he was kept bound with chains and fetters.
He broke the bands. He was driven of the devil into
the wilderness. So Luke tells us that, but divine
inspiration so that we'll know what kind of fellow that this
is. He's a wild man. Nobody could
control him. And Jesus asked him saying, what
is thy name? And he said, Legion. Because
many devils were entered into him. Numbers are correct. The legion was 6,826. Filled
with devils. Let me tell you something. Every unbeliever is filled with
demons. Do you know that? You think about
that. The demon of unbelief and rebellion
and there's only one voice that can speak the word to cast them
out. That's the voice of the Son of
God. And they besought him, these demons besought him that he would
not command them to go out into the deep. There was a herd of
many swine feeding on the mountain. They besought him that he would
suffer them to enter into them. He suffered them. Then went the devils out of the
man and entered into the swine. The herd ran violently down a
steep place into the lake and they were choked. When they that
fed them saw what was done, they fled, went and hoarded in the
city and in the country. Then they went out to see what
was done. They came to Jesus, and they
found the man out of whom the devils were departed, sitting
at the feet of Jesus. He's sitting at the feet of Jesus. He's clothed. He's clothed. This was a man who was naked,
and now he's clothed. and in his right mind. And they
were afraid. Where was he? He's at the feet
of Jesus. This is the right place for a
sinner who's now in his right mind. You know, before the work
of regeneration in the heart, before the Spirit of God quickens
us by His grace, we're just not in our right minds, are we? We're
not in our right minds. But then the Spirit of God, through
the gospel, mysteriously, miraculously, does it work. He takes away the
heart of stone. He gives a heart of flesh, which
is nothing more than the heart of faith. He gives us faith. And you know what? We find then
that we're not naked anymore. We're robed with the garments
of salvation. sitting at his feet in our right
minds. Here's a wonderful thing today.
Here we are. Several people. We're here tonight. Spiritually, we're in our right
minds. We didn't used to be. Didn't
we? Wasn't there a time when we weren't
in our right minds spiritually? But we are now and we're clothed. And where do we find ourselves?
Where is it that we love to be? At His feet. That's where you'll
find somebody who's in their right mind. At the feet of the
Lord Jesus. Watch this a little further into
the 8th chapter of Luke. Look at verse 41. And behold,
there was a man named Jarius, or Jarius if you want to get
persnickety about the way he pronounced his name there, Jarius,
and he was a ruler of the synagogue, and he fell down at Jesus' feet
and besought him that he would come into his house. For he had
only one daughter. She was twelve years old. She
lay a dying. But as he went, the people thronged
him. And then this woman who had an
issue, she approached him, dropped down to verse 49, and while he
yet spake, There cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's
house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead, trouble not the master. But when Jesus heard it, he answered
him, saying, Fear not, believe only, and she shall be made whole. And when he came to the house,
he suffered no man to go in, say, Peter and James and John
and the father and the mother and the maiden, and all wept
and bewailed her. But he said, Weep not, She's
not dead, but sleepeth." They laughed Him to scorn, knowing
that she was dead. He put them all out. He took
her by the hand and called out, saying, May he arise! Her spirit
came again. She arose straightway, and He
commanded to give her meat. Her parents were astonished,
but He charged them that they should tell no man what was done. Here's what I take away from
this. From verse 41, when he fell down at Jesus' feet, I say
to this, here's the right place for a desperate parent. This is the right place for a
desperate parent. You who have children who are
unbelievers, sick in sin, they need the Savior, and you've talked
to them about the gospel, you've prayed to them, you bring them
to the place of worship, go to His feet. Go to His feet. This is the only
place for a parent who's desperate, who's burdened over their children,
because He's the only one that can help them. We can't give them life. We can't
quicken anybody. We give them the gospel. We tell
them about the Lord Jesus Christ. We tell them about God's justice
being satisfied by His death. We tell them about the forgiveness
of sins, righteousness before God, freely imputed. But you
can't make them believe. And don't try. Don't try. Don't try to talk them into something.
Just give them the Word and go to the Savior's feet. Oh Lord,
help my boy. Oh Lord, help my girl. Oh God,
do for them what you've done for me. You don't have to. You're
under no obligation. And Lord, I'm going to worship
you whether you save them or damn them. Because that's what
we got to do. That's right too, isn't it? No
matter what he does with them. It's right. Because he's the
sovereign now. That's got to be established.
We're not telling him what to do. We're going to them and saying,
Lord, if you will, you can do something for them. You can give
them that interest that they don't have. And Lord, I'll just
stay here at your feet, at your feet. That's the place for a
desperate parent. Watch this. Go over to chapter
10. Look at chapter 10. Verse 38. Chapter 10, verse 38. Now it
came to pass as they went, he and his disciples, that he entered
into a certain village, and a certain woman named Martha received him
into her house. And she had a sister called Mary,
which also sat at Jesus' feet and heard His word. gave attention to his word. But
Martha was cumbered, she was distracted about much serving. Came to him and said, Lord, does
not thou care that my sister hath left me to serve alone?
Bid her therefore that she help me. Jesus answered and said unto
her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful, and troubled about many
things. You're divided about many things.
You got so many things on your mind. That's you and me so often. We got so many things on our
mind. Don't you feel like sometimes just torn here and there and
somewhere else? Going this way and this way.
Got too many things going on. We put it this way. Got too many
fish to fry. Got too much on my mind. He says one thing is needful.
Oh, to get just one single solitary thing on our minds. Mary has
chosen that good part which shall never be taken away from her.
She's sitting at my feet, listening and learning. That's the right
place for a willing learner who can teach like he can. He said, come unto me all you
that labor and are heavy laden. I'll give you rest. Take my yoke
upon you and learn of me. For I am meek and lowly in heart,
and ye shall find rest unto your souls. My yoke is easy and my
burden is light. Let us come to his feet as willing
learners. Let's approach His Word, not
to prove our point of view, but to bow to Him and learn from
Him. Let's listen to every word that flows from His lips. Never
a man spake like this man. He spoke doctrine with authority.
That's what surprised the Pharisees. He had such authority when He
spoke. He didn't quote the old rabbis. He didn't have to do that. He
had the authority Himself because He who spoke the Word of God,
the living Word of God, is the incarnate Word of God. He spoke
with authority. And I'll tell you this. Go over
to Luke chapter 17. This is a rightful place for
a grateful worshiper. Luke chapter 17. Verse 11. It came to pass, as
he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria
and Galilee, and as he entered into a certain village, there
met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off. They lifted
up their voices, all ten of them, and said, Jesus, Master, have
mercy on us. And when he saw them, he said
unto them, Go, show yourselves unto the priests. And it came
to pass as they went, they were all cleansed. And one of them,
one out of ten, when he saw that he was healed, he turned back
and with a loud voice glorified God and fell down on his face
at his feet, giving him thanks. And he was a Samaritan. Here
is the right place for a grateful worshiper. He has washed us from
the leprosy of sin. This is the right place to be.
Jesus, look at verse 17, answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? They are not found that return
to give glory to God save this stranger. And he said unto him,
verse 19, Arise, go thy way, thy faith hath made thee whole.
It's a right place for a grateful worshiper. And I'll give you
one more. Turn over to Revelation chapter 1. The book of Revelation
chapter 1. This is a right place for a fearful
saint. Revelation chapter 1. John saw the glorified Christ. Verse 12, this voice spoke to
him. He said, verse 12, Revelation
1, I turned to see the voice that spake with me. Being turned,
I saw seven golden candlesticks. In the midst of the seven candlesticks,
one likened to the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to
the foot, girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His head
and his hairs were white as wool, as white as snow, and his eyes
were as a flame of fire. His feet, like in the fine brass,
as if they burned in a furnace. His voice is the sound of many
waters, and he had in his right hand seven stars, and out of
his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword. And his countenance was
as the sun shineth in his strength, and when I saw him, I fell at
his feet. like a dead man. When you see
Him in His glory, in His majesty, falling at His feet like a dead
man. And He laid His right hand on me, saying unto me, fear not. Fear not. You who are fearful
saints, fearful of whatever, this is the best place to be
right here. And may you hear him say to you, fear not. Don't fear what's happening in
the world. Don't fear what's happening in
your life. Fear not. Why not? Because I am the first
and the last. I am he that liveth and was dead,
and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And have the keys of hell
and death. At His feet. At His feet. This woman over here in Luke
chapter 7, she found herself needing Him, and wanting Him,
and adoring Him, and she fell down at His feet. Are you at
His feet? Are you at His feet? I am. Aren't
you? I'm at His feet. Oh, blessed
Savior, I'm at your feet, and I kiss you with the kiss of adoration. You're the King. You read it
tonight. I kiss the Son. I kiss the Son. It's a kiss of
adoration. You're God. I worship you. I
adore you. And I don't love you like I ought
to, but I do love Him. John said we love Him because
He first loved us. We're at His feet. And listen,
He will not refuse us if we're in that position. That's the posture of the needy
soul. And He will not allow any harm
to come to anyone who is at His feet. And He will not deny us the glorious
privilege of remaining there. Let this continually be our posture
at His feet as you go through this week, every day, at His
feet. At His feet. It's the best place
you can be. Whether sorrowing or rejoicing, at His feet. Whether hoping or fearing, at
His feet. whether suffering or laboring
at his feet, whether teaching or learning at his feet, whether
in public or in private at his feet, whether in life or in death,
always at his feet. She adored him. She adored him. She was devoted to Him. And the
Pharisee was not happy. My dear friends, Pharisees still
are not happy with those who are devoted to Jesus Christ the
Lord. They're still not happy. And
they don't want to hear the preaching constantly of Jesus Christ and
Him crucified. They want other subjects dealt
with. But no, This is our subject. He's our subject. Always. Let me give you this, and I'm
going to have to quit. Many years ago, there lived in
England a man by the name of Philip Henry. Philip Henry. He's the father, he was the father
of the famous commentator, Matthew Henry. Philip was born in 1631. He grew up to be a preacher of
the gospel. He lived 65 years. He died in
1696 in England. And this is just interesting,
kind of a side note. With his dying breath, he was
quoting a verse of scripture. When I die, I'd love to be dying,
quoting a verse of scripture, wouldn't you? If it'd be God's
will. But he was quoting this verse of Scripture, O death,
where is thy? And he died. There was no sting for him. He died. And a dear friend and
brother in the ministry preached his funeral, and it is said,
I read this week, that he stressed especially, it was not Philip's
righteousness, nor Philip's strength that saved him, nor Philip's
strength that quickened him and upheld him, but Christ's righteousness
and Christ's strength. And he had written the last will
and testament. And after his death, it was read.
Now we're not sure what he left Matthew, his son. That's not
recorded. But the historians recorded that
he left to each of his four daughters a manuscript each. And the manuscript
consisted of several sermons, several messages. And he left
this instructions, if you feel led, so led in your life, would
you transcribe these? Because nobody else could hardly
read his writing. Would you transcribe these? make
it more legible, and then publish them. But he said, more than
that, I ask God that these manuscripts be transcribed in your heart
and in your life. Well, one of the daughters did
indeed transcribe the manuscript that her father left to her.
It contained sermons on this subject, what Christ is made
of God to be to true believers, in 40 real benefits based on
Colossians chapter 3 verse 11 which says Christ is all and
in all. The manuscript remained unpublished
until it was added at the end of some of Matthew Henry's works
in 1830. It has been reprinted. I think it's out of print now.
I'm blessed to have the books, one of the greatest books in
my library, Christ All in All. But I want you to listen to the
chapters. Listen to the devotion of this man to Christ Jesus.
Hear the chapters. Christ is the foundation and
believers are the building. Christ is our food, all true
believers feed upon him. Christ is the root, all believers
of the branches. Christ is our raiment. Christ
is our hope. Christ is our refuge. Christ
is our righteousness. Christ is our light. Christ is
our life. Christ is our peace. Christ is
our Passover. Christ is our portion. Christ
is our propitiation, Christ is our freedom, Christ is our fountain,
Christ is our wisdom, Christ is our way, Christ is our banner,
Christ is our example, Christ is the door, Christ is as the
dew of heaven, Christ is our sun, Christ is our shield, Christ
is our strength, Christ is our song, Christ is the horn of our
salvation, Christ is the honored one, Christ is our sanctification,

our redemption, Christ is our lesson, Christ is our ladder,
Christ is our truth, Christ is our treasure, Christ is our temple,
Christ is our rock, Christ is our ark, Christ is our altar,
Christ is all in all. That's a book devoted to Christ
Jesus. At his feet. pour out devotion
because He's all. He's all to be known. He's all
to be studied. He's all to be loved. He's all
to be trusted at His feet. That's where we are. That's where
we've been today, I hope. I pray. I think we have been.
We've been today at His feet. Oh, blessed, blessed Savior. And the Savior told the woman,
or told the Pharisee Simon about two debtors. And this woman was
the greater debtor, but her debt was all forgiven because Jesus
paid it all. And we're going to sing that
song, 125, is that what it is? Number 125. But when we get to
the chorus, I want us to sing it the way it was written. Jesus
paid it all, all the debt I owe. That's how it was written. So
if we could just take the liberty to change that. Jesus paid it
all, all the debt I owe. Number 125. You come lead us,
brother.
