He bore our sins in His body on the tree For our guilt he
gave us peace, From our bondage gave release. And with his stripes, And with
his stripes, And with his stripes, Our souls are peace. He was numbered among transgressors. We did esteem him forsaken by
his God. As our sacrifice he died, that
the law be satisfied. And all our sin, and all our
sin, and all our sin was laid. We all had wandered far from
the fold of the shepherd of the sheep, but he sought us where
On the mountains bleak and bare And brought us home And brought
us home And brought us safely home His generation, who shall declare
all the triumphs of His cross. Millions dead now live again,
Myriads follow in his train. Victorious Lord, Victorious Lord,
Victorious Lord and Godly King. Acts 22, Acts 22. We're delighted to have, blessed
to have John and Kathy Reeves with us from California. A little old place called Rescue. There's some folks moved in right
next door to us about four or five months ago. And I told him,
I know some folks from Rescue California said, I know right
where it's at. Been there he said. So I mean, and it's a small
place, ain't it? It's a small place. But I tell you what, I've had
a lot of wonderful meetings there and preach the gospel. Preach
the gospel. That's what matters. God's got
people all over the world that preaches the gospel. A lot of
them we don't know. A lot of them we don't know, but God knows
who it is. And that's all that matters,
God knows. But we're delighted to have you, appreciate you so
much coming by. I'm gonna start reading here
in verse 21 and read down to verse 30. And he said unto me, Christ speaking
to Paul, gave him a vision, met him. Depart from me, I'll send
thee far hence unto the Gentiles. And they gave him audience unto
this word, and then lifted up their voices, and said, Away
with such a fellow from the earth, for it is not fit that he should
live. And as they cried out, and cast
off their clothes, and threw dust in the air, the chief castan
commanded him to be brought into the castle. and bade that he
should be examined by scourging, that he might know wherefore
they cried so against him. And as they bound him with thongs,
Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, is it lawful for
you to scourge a man that is a Roman and uncondemned? When the centurion heard that,
he went and told the chief priest, saying, take heed what thou doest,
for this man is a Roman. Then the chief captain came and
said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea. And the
chief captain answered and said, With a great sum obtained I this
freedom. And Paul said, I was free born.
Then straightway they departed from him which should have examined
him, and the margins said, Tortured him. And the chief captain also
was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, and because he
had bound him. And on the morrow, because he
would have known the certainty were of he was accused of the
Jews, he loosed him from his bands, and commanded the chief
priests and all their council to appear, and brought Paul down,
and set him before them. Our blessed Master, our great
Lord, our great and blessed God, and our Lord Jesus Christ, lover
of our souls, loved us to the point where you bore our sins
in your own body on that tree. You are so identified with us
that God made you to be numbered with us. to be numbered with
transgressors, to suffer an awful ignominious death, to be hated
and despised without any cause. So Lord, we bless your holy name
for that. And Lord, we thank you that you've
given us this blessed, blessed privilege to gather here this
evening. And I thank you that you've enabled me to meet here
and able to preach. God, thank you for those who's
gathered out. Meet with us tonight. Bring glory to yourself through
the preaching, teaching of your word. And Lord Jesus, for those
who are not with us through weakness of their body, that would be
glad to be here, but their bodies are weak. They're frail, not
able to come. And we know that they watch and
we know that they listen. Oh Lord, meet their needs. We've
gathered here to worship our Lord Jesus Christ and bring glory
to his holy name. Have mercy, O Lord, upon our
sick people. And, O Lord, for our children
and grandchildren, husbands and wives, please be merciful and
awaken them to their great need, their great, great need before
you. In our blessed Savior's name we pray, amen, amen. Page 32 in our course books. Page 32 in the course book. All

it's all I want. He's all I want. Turn that dehumidifier on. All right, let's go back here
in Acts 22. You remember last week Paul had
a defense. He was in the, had a vow on him
and he was in the temple in a A bunch of Ephesians saw him and they
was a bunch of Jews and they accused him of taking a Gentile
into the temple. And they grabbed him, started
a riot, and they sought to kill him, to destroy him. And the Roman army went down
there and rescued him out of that mob. And the scripture says
they was gonna kill him. That's what it said in Acts 21,
they gonna kill him. And so their soldiers, they went
down, they got him and brought him up, and brought him up, let
him stand on the stairs. Remember, he's standing on the
stairs. And that chief captain said, are you an Egyptian that
took over 4,000 men and a bunch of murderers went out into the
wilderness? And he says, no, I'm not, I'm not. And he spoke
to him in Greek and he said, would you give me allowed me
to speak? So they allowed him to speak and he stood on those
steps. And there's that mob that had just sought to kill him and
to destroy him and lie on him. They gathered around and they
listened intently to what he said because he started preaching
to them and teaching them in Hebrews. And he defended himself. First thing he said was, he said,
you know, I persecuted the church of God. That's the first thing
he started talking about. He said, I hated Christ. I hated
the gospel. I hated the Lord's people. I
wanted them in jail. I wanted them in prison. And
as I was on my way on to Damascus, he said, Christ got a hold of
me. He said, Christ put me down. People saw the light, but they
didn't hear the voice. And Christ apprehended him and
caused him to be blind, blind. And then he talked about all
the things that he had done, and how Christ had saved him,
and all the things that he had done, and how he was zealous
toward God, and zealous toward the law as these Jews were. So he was defending himself.
And then the Lord told him, he said, Now Paul, he said, Now
listen. And an ice came and told him
how he was one of God's elect vessels. that he was going to
have to know the will of God, that heíd see Christ, the Just
One, and heíd be Christís witnesses, be the witness for Christ. Well,
he was teaching along and going along and on along, and he even
told the Lord, he said, ìLord, you know how that I persecuted
your people when the Lord Jesus Christ And he told him, he says,
now you make haste. He's in Jerusalem, he said. Now
he told him, he's been in a vision, he said, you get out of Jerusalem
as fast as you possibly can. Well, that's what he was gonna
do until they laid hold on him. So he's standing here, and he
was been preaching to him, and he know the story about all the
things that he preached, and he got down to verse 21. And he said, now this is what
Christ told him to do. He said unto me, depart, get
out of Jerusalem. For I'll send thee far hence
unto the Gentiles. And they gave him audience unto
this one. They listened to what he had
to say. They didn't find anything wrong
with what he had to say until he started saying, you're gonna
go preach to a bunch of Gentiles. And, O mine, they gave him audience
unto that word, and then lifted up their voices, and said, Away
with such a fellow from the earth, for it is not fit that he should
live. And as they cried out, and cast
off their clothes, and threw dust in the air. Now Paul had
been an ambassador, ambassador of Christ for about twenty years
up to this point. He freely traveled, freely traveled,
went all over went to places, established lots of different
churches, but now he s in the hands of the Roman government,
and the Romans ruled the world at this time. The Romans ruled,
all roads led to Rome. We was in England and they got
a place over there called Bath, and there s things over there
from Roman times that they built, ROADS that they built, BATHS
that they built, PILLARS that they built, AQUEDUCTS that they
So they was known all over, they ruled the world, and that's why
Paul was in the hands of the Roman government. But I tell
you one thing, he was better off in the hands of the Roman
government than he had been in the hands of the Jews. And them Jews meant to kill him,
they hated him and despised him, and especially when he started
talking about going to Gentiles. And Paul was an apostle to the
Gentiles. And he made his defense before
this mob who was trying to kill him. And they were silent, and
they silent until he came down and started talking about the
Gentiles. And then things changed dramatically. They went into a, turned into
a mad, God-hating, Christ-rejecting, WANTING TO KILL SOMEBODY THAT
PREACHED THE GOSPEL, SO BAD, THEY WANTED HIM DEAD, AND LOOK
WHAT IT SAYS THERE, THEY SAID, OH MY, THEY CRIED OUT, AWAY WITH
SUCH A FELLA THAT'S NOT FIT THAT HE SHOULD LIVE. YOU TALKING ABOUT
AN AWFUL, STUBBORN, HATEFUL, HATEFUL AND HATING PREJUDICE
THAT THESE PEOPLE HAD, I mean, they lifted, they listened, and
they said, away with such a fella. They knew who he was. They knew
who he was. That's the way they started out.
Said, we've seen this fella over here in Ephesus. And he caused
a lot of trouble over there. Everywhere he's been, he's been
trouble. So let's kill this fella. Let's be done with him so we
won't be bothered with him anymore. And that's the way they did our
Lord. Said, let's do away with him. They took counsel in our
Lord's ministry right out of the bat. Figured out how to get
rid of him. And that's what they did with
Paul. And I'll tell you what. And they said, he's not fit to
live. Let's just destroy him off the
face of the earth. That's what they said, ain't
it? Oh my, he's not fit? Take this fellow away from the
earth. You know what that means? Kill him! And that's what they
said. It's not fit. It's not fit that
a man like that ought to live. Now, I've met some folks that
they just take, you know, as far as I'm concerned, they're
just taking up space. The sooner God gets rid of them,
the better we'll all be. We see that stuff all the time.
But here's somebody preaches the gospel. Oh, my. Well, why? Why did they want
to do this to him? What had he done? All he done
was tell them of his heritage. He said, I'm a Jew of Sicily,
of Tarsus. He said, I'm a worshiper of God. I know God and I'm zealous toward
God. He talked about his zeal for
the Lord. He talked about, I was raised a Pharisee. I sat at the
feet of Gamaliel, the greatest teacher at that time. I sat at
his feet, that's where I learned the law, that's where I learned
to be a Pharisee. I was very well, I'm educated,
man. And then they says, not fit that
he should live. Oh, this is prejudice at its
very worst. You know, all he said was Gentiles,
I'm gonna go to the Gentiles. Now, Gentiles was people like
us. People like us. They were so
hated and they were considered so unclean. I mean, they were
considered to be heathens, unclean, wretched kind of people. Oh,
and they thought, now what about a Jew? A Jew brought up in the
law, go and preach to a bunch of Gentiles, fellowship with
them, eat with them, He was more than they could stand and would
have killed him had it not been for the Romans. You know, everybody
has got prejudices, bigotry, and we really see it manifest
in these days in which we live. If you're conservative, liberals
hate you. If you're a liberal, they hate
conservatives. I mean, there's just no winning
in this world, and that's why Paul, what made him different
was that he was not afraid of man, and he wasn't going to get
involved in this prejudice. And Christ said, You're going
to go and you're going to be the apostle to Gentiles. The
first Gentile that was preached to and converted was preached
to by Simon Peter in the house of Cornelius. That's the first
time that anybody a Gentile heard the gospel. But now you go back
to the Old Testament. You've got Ruth. She is a Gentile
Moabite. And then you go back to Rahab
the harlot. She wasn't a Jew. God saved her. And then there's Naaman. He was a Gentile. He was a soldier. He had these big old beautiful
uniforms on. He was somebody. But what did
God do? Go save him and let all the rest
of the lepers in Israel alone. There was one winner. Lots of winners, but God only
sent Elijah the one winner. And that barrel, because he was
used of God, that barrel of meal never run dry until that thing
was over. So here's what we're saying is
that God Almighty had made a point to let everybody know that He's
already done something for people like us. And I tell you, that's the way
it was with our Lord. You know, here they said, oh,
he's going to the Gentiles. You know, you go through the
gospels and you'll find that our Lord Jesus Christ, every
accusation they made against Christ is our points of our gospel. Oh, your master is Republicans.
Well, I'm one of them. I'm sorry as I can be. He's with
sinners. I'm one of them. Oh, I tell you what, they just
found fault and fault and fault with him all the time. And oh
my, and that's why they killed him. And I tell you, beloved,
Satan has always, always, right from the beginning, right after
the garden, after Adam and Eve was created and they were in
the garden, it wasn't long before Satan come into the garden And
he wanted to stop the gospel, destroy the gospel right off
the bat. And you know what he said to Eve? He said, Eve, see
that tree over yonder? Well, God told us not to eat
of it. He said we'd die. He said, oh,
you know good and well God ain't gonna kill you. God's not just,
he's too loving, he's too kind. And I'll tell you what, you look
at that tree and if you eat it, you're talking about getting
wise, you'll really have your eyes open. You'll be somebody,
you'll know some things that you didn't know before. So he
started trying to stop the gospel right there. Oh my, and when
Moses was born, Pharaoh said this, he said, I
want every male child that's born of the Hebrew women, I want
every one of them destroyed. Don't let no more of them be
born anymore. When you find out one is born,
kill him. You know why? Because they said,
we'll have more Hebrews we know what to do with, and they'll
end up taking over. So let's kill them. And I said, I told you all this,
I think, last Wednesday when they had this thing down here
on the sign. I said, you know, don't give up. Moses was a basket
case, is what they said. It's one of the most ridiculous
things. But oh, Moses, God preserved
him, you know what? Because he's gonna be used of
God. But Satan said, oh, listen, I'm gonna destroy. And then when
Christ was born, And they had these wise men come and they
started telling everybody that unto us is born the King of Israel. Herod was king. We can't have
another king. He sat down there and he said,
everybody from three years old and down, of every male child,
I want him killed. So hopefully you'll get that
one born king of the Jews. And oh my, I mean, he tried to
stop the gospel. Oh my. And when Christ was crucified,
you know what they said? We're done with him. We're through
with him. We'll never have to deal with
him again. And you know what they found out on the day of
Pentecost? Oh my. This same Jesus, whom you crucified,
God hath both raised from the dead and made him both Lord and
Christ. Oh my. And I tell you now, hear
this, Paul, they're gonna go after him. And I was reading
something by Arthur W. Pink today when his Sovereignty
of God was first published back in 1921. A fellow read it, and he knew
Mr. Pink, and he co-told Mr. Pink
to his face. He said, if I could, I'd kill
you. And he says, no, no, you wouldn't kill me. You know who
you won't kill? He said, you won't kill God. That's what he
told him. He said, you don't want to kill
me. You won't kill God, because God's the one that's the sovereign. And he fought with that all the
days of his life. But oh, my. And Martin Luther,
you know how many times they tried to kill him? Countless
times now. I want you to keep acts 22, but
look over here in 2nd Corinthians chapter 11 with me You're talking
about a fella did some suffering for the glory of Christ And and God he told him what
he told him when he sent in an ice over the great things that
you'll suffer suffer for my name's sake But look here with me in 2 Corinthians
11, 23 through verse 26. And our Lord, here's Paul talking
about, are they ministers of Christ? I speak as a fool. He said, I don't want to speak
this way at all. I'm more. If they're ministers
of Christ, I am more. You know how I'm more? In labors
more abundant, in stripes above measure. in prisons more frequent,
and I tell you, in death often, I oftentimes thought that this
is going to be the end of me. And right here is two instances
of it. They tried to kill him once,
and now they're going to try to kill him again, two times in
the same day. And look what he says now. Of
the Jews, five times I received forty stripes, save one. Now
let me tell you how that works. The Jews had a thongs, these leather straps. And when they
gave you stripes, they'd stripe your chest 13 times. And then they'd take you back
off and they'd strike on your right shoulder 13 times. And
then they'd go on your left shoulder and beat you 13 times. And that's
why he said, how many did he say there? He said the Jews five
times, five times they beat him with 39 stripes. Here, here,
and here. You're talking about a man scarred.
And he said these, these are the, in my body, the marks of
Christ, the sufferings of Christ, he said. Then look what else
he says. Thrice I was beaten with rods. Sometimes they'd use
a rod to beat a man. Once I was stoned, and you remember
that when they stoned him and left him for dead? Three times
I was in a shipwreck. A night and a day I floated around
in the ocean, in the sea, and I had lots of journeyings and
in perils of water, in perils of robber, in perils by my own
countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city,
in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils
among false brethren. Now boy, I tell you now, that's,
that fellow done some suffering and here he is right here again. And then let's go back over here
and look what they done. They said, away with such a fellas
not fit that he should live, not fit that he should live.
And as they cried out, listen to this, they took off all, they
started throwing their clothes off, started taking their clothes
off. They wanted to show how displeased they was, taking off
her clothes, because we don't get blood on our clothes. And
they got down in the dust, got big handfuls of dust, and threw
dust in there. Show them how angry they was,
how displeased they was, and how despicable this man was. That's all he is, is a handful
of dust. Let's destroy him. Let's destroy him. And oh my,
showing intense, tense anger. When I look at the chief captain's
dilemma here. And the chief captain, now watch
this, now remember he's standing on the steps. The chief captain
commanded him to be brought into the castle and bade that he should
be examining by scourging, wherefore they cried so against him. Oh,
my! And as they bound him with thongs,
Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for
you to scourge a man that is a Roman, uncondemned? He had
a great dilemma here. What am I gonna do? He's a Roman.
And the chief centurion, when he heard that, told the chief,
said, take heed what you do. This man's a Roman. He asked
him if he was a Roman. He said, I am. He said, I paid
for my freedom. He said, I was free born. Now
the Roman government, or the Roman state, the government,
had a two-fold state, two-fold task, to establish and maintain
order according to Roman law, and to provide for a defense
of its citizens, and administer justice according to the Roman
law. Well, they didn't know Paul was
a Roman, and they were going to scorch him. And you know what
scourging is? Oh, my, and this is what this
chief captain's doing. He's upholding and maintaining
justice. And his job was to keep order
in the city. And that's what he did. He went
down there and tried to get in among that mob and tried to change
them, tried to get Paul out amongst that mob and get under control,
get things under control. But before he could do that,
he had to understand what and why and how things got so out
of control and why. And this happened twice in the
same time. And they said, why in the world is this happening?
Well, he decided, he says now, he said, he told them to take
him into the castle and scourge him. And he might know that he
were, if they cried so against him. They bound him with thongs. Now how they done this, I was
reading about this today, what they'd do is they'd bend a fellow
over a pole or something like that and tie their hands together.
And then they'd take a cat of nine tails, that's what it's
called, that's what they did with the Lord Jesus Christ. And
on the end of those leather thongs, they had him tied up, his body
bent over, and they said they tied him, they did what it says,
they tied him with thongs. They bound him with thongs. And
they laid him there, and they had this thing of 39, and it had, and listen to this, it
had either glass or lead on the ends of those things. And the reason they'd do that,
so it would tear the flesh. This way, when they'd tell our
Lord, our Lord said, you know, my bones stare at me. And lots of people died with
just the scourging. And why they wanted to scourge
him was that we'll whip him and torture him and he'll finally
tell us why these people hate him. Now that's a good way to
get somebody to tell you something, beat him to death. And that's
what they was gonna do, they gonna beat and beat and beat,
and the blood would run, and the glass would cut his back,
or the lead would beat in his back. And oh, they bound him,
and oh my goodness, they bound him to the whipping post. Oh my, and they wanted to rip
that flesh up. And oh Paul, he said, oh my.
And as they bound him, getting ready to beat him, Paul said
unto the centurion that stood by, is it lawful? Now he went
to the, he know the law. He know the Roman law and it's
not the Ten Commandments now. The Roman law, is it lawful for
you to scourge a man, torture a man that is a Roman citizen
and he's uncondemned, he's never been tried yet, not had a trial. and you're condemning me. I haven't
been condemned, and I've nothing found wrong with me, and you're
fixing to beat me and torture me. Oh, that chief captain, that
fellow said, oh, don't do this, don't do this. This man's a Roman.
Oh, that chief captain, come. Oh, my. I tell you what. Oh, Paul knew the answer. And
then the chief captain came and said unto him, are you really
a Roman? Are you really? He said, yes,
I am. And the chief captain said this. He said, I was freeborn. I obtained
this with much, much, much, much money. Oh, that centurion stopped
immediately. And oh, I tell you, then straightway
they departed from him. They should have examined him,
should have tortured him. You know, the chief captain himself,
And he told how he became a Roman citizen. He bought it. There's three basic ways to become
a Roman citizen. I guess that's the way to be
an American citizen. First of all, your parents be
born in Rome, both your parents being citizens. Then you'd be
a Roman citizen. I'm an American, so both my kids
are American. They're citizens of the United
States, born that way. And then by reward for service.
Well, you know, you do great service to the government, great
service to the state, and they'll reward you here with citizenship. Citizenship. We have lots of
people come into this country, and they go through a great,
great study course, and they learn more about America than
most Americans know. And then they have to take a
test, and then they pass that test, and then they Swear them
is as citizens of America. And then you got people that
come over here, and they're not supposed to be here, and they
get across the border, or wherever they're coming from, and if they
can have a child born in America, that child's a citizen. Mama may not be, daddy may not
be, but the baby is. And then you could buy your freedom
if you was a slave. And I tell you, this is what
Paul said. Well, the Emperor Claudius, Claudius
Caesar at this time, you know how he would raise money? He
said, Do you want to be a citizen? Well, give me $5,000. Give me $5,000 and I'll write
you a citizenship paper. I'll give you a passport and
you'll be free to come and go. You can be a citizen. And they
done that. They done that. And Paul said,
I was free born. I was free born. So that meant
that one of his parents was a Roman citizen. You know, Steve Dishman's
daughter married an Englishman. from Devon, England. So he's here legally and will
live here and die here. But he's got British citizenship
and he's got American citizenship. And his children can have British
citizenship and American citizenship because they got parents of two
different countries. But here he said, I was free
born. And oh my, they said, boy, we gotta stop this. We can't
hurt this fella. And they left him alone, and
that said they ceased to torture him. And the chief captain was
afraid, it says in verse 29, and the chief captain also was
afraid. It scared him, they said, after
he knew that he was a Roman. And the second thing was because
he bound him. You don't bind a Roman citizen.
You're not supposed to do that unless he has broken the law
and you're sent to arrest him. And on the morrow, because he
would have known the certainty, I still got to know why these
people hated you so and mourned you dead, wherefore if he was
accused of the Jews, well, he set Paul free from right then
and there and commanded the chief priest and all their council
to appear and brought Paul down and set him before them. Now this is all these, everybody
that's anybody's sitting there. And so we'll take that up next
week. Everybody's anybody. And you know what Paul said the
first thing he said? He said, I cheerfully, cheerfully answer
for myself. He didn't get up there and talk,
oh my goodness, what am I gonna do with this mob, what am I gonna
do? No, he said I'd cheerfully, cheerfully answer for myself. Oh my. Our Father, in the blessed name
of our Lord Jesus Christ, thank you for this privilege, thank
you for this time to allow us to meet together Thank you for
the good attention of your saints this evening. Thank you for your
precious, precious, precious word, nothing like your word. It teaches us, instructs us,
and exposes the human heart, exposes man to be what he is,
exposes God to be who he is. And oh Lord, we're so thankful,
blessed be your holy name, that you're our God, and beside you
there is none other. And Lord, give us faith, give
us love, give us grace, give us mercy, give us strength to
live in this world to your glory and the good of your dear people.
For Christ's sake, amen. Amen. Oh, how merciful. How merciful, blessed Lord, how
merciful Thou art to me. Oh, how merciful, how merciful,
Blessed Lord, how merciful thou art to me. Well, I'll see you Sunday morning,
God willing, and then Brother Bruce Crabtree gonna be here
to preach Sunday night.
