Job 28

The sermon titled "Priceless Wisdom" by Don Bell focuses on the nature and significance of divine wisdom as presented in Job 28. The main theological topic addressed is the contrast between earthly treasures and the superior value of wisdom, asserting that true wisdom cannot be found in material riches. Key arguments emphasize that earthly riches cannot fulfill the deepest needs of the human heart, encapsulating Job's question, "Where shall wisdom be found?" Scripture references include Job 28:12-28, emphasizing that wisdom is not found among men or in nature but is rooted in a proper relationship with God—the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (Job 28:28). The practical significance of this teaching highlights the necessity of seeking divine wisdom through Christ, who embodies the wisdom of God, thereby encouraging believers to prioritize their spiritual understanding over worldly pursuits.

I wanna, in this chapter, Job's
still talking. He talked from chapter 26, he's
gonna talk for a couple more chapters, but tonight he started
a parable and he continues it here in chapter 28. And he's been showing that there's,
and here in chapter 6, 28, He shows us where, that there's
a place where gold and silver and precious stones can be found.
Look what he says in verse one. He said, surely there's a vein,
vein in the earth for silver and a place for gold where they
refine it when they find it. Iron is taken out of the earth
and brass is molten into the stone, out of the stone. And
so he shows us, you know, how that these things are done. And
he says down in verse five, as for the earth, out of it comes
bread, and under it is turned up, as it were, fire. The stones
of it are the place of sapphires, and hath dust as gold. He said,
this is the things that you can find in the earth. It's been
found in the earth. Well, how in the world can men
find these things? Find these things? Well, he says
in verse nine and 10, He puts forth his hand upon the rock.
He overturns the mountains by the roots. He cutteth out rivers
among the rocks, and his eyes sees every precious thing. He
goes to digging, turning over rocks, mining, looking, turning
over the earth, looking for silver and gold. And I tell you, and
it all brings these precious things out to the light. But
these can never meet the needs of the human heart. And he asked
a very, very great question down here in verse 12. Look what the
question is, and I'm gonna read from verse 12 down to the end
of the chapter. But where shall wisdom be found?
We know where we can find gold, we know where we can find silver,
we know where we can find brass, we know where we can find iron.
But down in verse 12, he said, but where shall wisdom be found?
You can find gold, you can find silver, you can find precious
stones. But where shall wisdom be found? Where's the place of
understanding? Man knoweth not the price thereof, neither is
it found in the land of the living. The depth saith it's not in me,
and the sea saith it's not in me. It cannot be gotten for gold,
neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof. It cannot
be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx or the
sapphire. The gold in the crystal cannot
equal it, and the exchange of it shall not be for the jewels
of fine gold. No mention shall be made of coral
or of pearls, or the price of wisdom is above rubies. The topaz
of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with
pure gold. With then cometh wisdom, where
is the place of understanding. seeing it as hid from the eyes
of all living and kept close from the fowls of the air. Destruction
and death say, we have heard the fame thereof with our ears.
God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof.
For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth unto the
whole earth, to make the weight for the winds, and he weareth
the waters by measure. When he made a decree for the
rain and a way for the lightning of the thunder, then did he see
it and declare it. He prepared it, yea, and searched
it out. And unto man he said, behold,
the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and depart from evil
is understanding. Now I want to talk about this
priceless wisdom. That's why I asked the question
in verse 12, where shall wisdom be found? Where are we going
to find it? Where's the place of understanding? And that's
a great, great question. What a question. And lots of
people have found a lot of treasures in this world. They made it their
life's goal. There's people, I used to watch
this thing called Gold Rush, and these fellas, they'd get
up daylight and work 24 hours a day, and weigh out tens of
thousands, get millions of dollars worth of gold every year. They
tell you on television, on all these commercials and stuff,
buy gold, buy silver. Buy gold, don't buy silver. And
a lot of people have all these treasures of earth and they're
fools. I know a person personally that bought some gold and went
and buried it. Now they got Alzheimer's and
they don't know where they buried it. That's sad, ain't it? That serves
them right. Serves them right. I know the
person personally. And they said, I don't know where
it's at. That's sad. But they get this, and it's like
that man that the Lord Jesus talked about. You know, he called
him a rich fool. A rich fool. And he said, oh,
listen, he said, I've got so much, I've accumulated so much
that I ain't got places to keep all of it. He said, I'm going
to tear it all down, and I'm going to build me a great big
bunch of barns and a bunch of buildings, and I'm going to fill
them full with everything I've got. Then I'm going to go home
and get in my lazy boy and prop myself up and say, now, soul,
take your ease, eat, and be merry. The day he set out his chair,
God said, you fool. Tonight your soul is required
of you. So I'll tell you, all these treasures don't amount
to anything, because we're going to leave them all behind. But
wisdom, wisdom is priceless. It's priceless. Solomon, I'll
read it to you, I don't want you to have to look over at it,
but Solomon, when he was made king over Israel, made king over
Judah and Israel, you know what he prayed for? He said, Lord,
give me wisdom. He said, give me now wisdom and
knowledge that I may go out and come in before this people who
can judge this thy people that this is so great. And God said
to Solomon, because this was in thy heart, you didn't ask
for riches, you didn't ask for wealth, you didn't ask for honor,
you didn't ask for the life of your enemies. Neither yet did
you ask for long life, but you asked for wisdom. You asked for
knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people over whom
I've made thee king. Well, I tell you what, I'm gonna
give you wisdom, and I'm gonna give you knowledge as granted
unto you. And I'll give you riches on top
of that, and wealth on top of that, and honor on top of that,
and none of the kings that I've ever had before me shall be like
you. And so God blessed him because he asked for one thing. Lord,
I can't judge your people. I don't know how to deal with
all these people. I don't have the wisdom. I don't have the
knowledge. I don't know how to go in and out before them. But
he said, God said, I'm gonna give you. Beloved, wisdom, wisdom
is the chief thing. With all of our getting, oh God,
please give us, let's say God give us wisdom. Now look at its
nature. Where could it's nature? He says,
you know, where shall wisdom be found? Now wisdom isn't something
that we can put on, like putting on a coat, like putting on a
shirt. And the scriptures tells us plainly
that Christ is the wisdom of God. Tells us very plainly that
the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hid in the Lord Jesus Christ. And wisdom is character. It's
a character. It's something that somebody
has. It's the quality of being wise. It's a condition of the
heart, and it has to do with our relationship with God. That's
why he says, God said unto them, the fear of the Lord is just
the beginning of wisdom. Just the beginning. And it begins
with fear in the Lord. And one thing that, in those
four nuns in Romans chapter three, The last known, they say, there
is no fear of God before their eyes. No fear of God. And then he tells us here that
this, the fear of God, that's the beginning of wisdom. And
I tell you, this wisdom, the only way it can increase is our
knowledge of God and our knowledge of him. Look in Psalm 90 with
me. Look in Psalm 90 in verse 12. Look what he says here, Psalm
90 and verse 12. Oh, our wisdom will increase
with the knowledge of God. But look what David said here.
He said, oh Lord, Psalm 90, 12. So teach us to number our days how few they are. Job said, our
days are few and full of trouble, so teach us to number our days,
that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. Lord, we got just
a few days on this earth, and they're numbered, and let us
number our days. Give us the wisdom to number
our days, that God, that we may in our hearts seek after wisdom,
apply our hearts to wisdom. Now I tell you what, it's easy,
it's easy to find the wisdom of this world. It's easy to do
that. The wisdom of this world is to
tell you, you know, be successful. Do all you possibly can. Get
all you can get in this world. Make yourself successful. Be
powerful. Be somebody. Make yourself to be somebody. The wisdom of this world. But
you know what God said the wisdom of this world is? He said it's
foolishness to me. Utterly and absolutely foolish
to me. And it's easy to find the wisdom of religion. Religion
and its wisdom, it's so easy to find. I mean, you can find
it everywhere. You keep Job and look with me
in Matthew chapter 22. Here's man's wisdom. Here's religious
wisdom and man's wisdom at his best in Matthew 22. Let's look
at this. Here's what they do to our Lord
Jesus Christ. And look down here in verse 15,
Matthew 22. this wisdom of this world, and the wisdom of religion called
the wisdom of men. It says there in verse 15, then
went the Pharisees and took counsel. They all got together and said,
now they all got together and started talking. They said, now
listen, we need to come up with some things that we can entangle
him every time we hear him talking. We got to catch him at his words.
And they sent unto him their disciples with Herodians. Herodians was a political group
in that day, and the Pharisees. So they sent out unto their disciples
with Herodians, saying, Master, we know that they are true, and
teach us the way of God in truth. You know what flattery says?
He that spreads the net for his, flatters his people, he spreads
the net for his feet. And you know what that word flattery
means? It means to make a slick spot. It means to make it slick,
make it real smooth. And that's trying to get you
to slip and fall, and that's what they're trying to do with
Christ. Get him to slip and fall. And they said, oh, we know that
you're true and you're a teacher sent from God. And he said, we
know this about you. Man doesn't impress you at all.
You don't care about what he says or thinks or does. For thou
regard'st not the person of men. Now watch where they go. Therefore
tell us what thou thinkest. Is it lawful to give taxes, and
that word tribute means taxes, unto Caesar or not? No, they
said, well, we got him. We got him. What's he gonna say?
He said, look what it says. Now Jesus perceived their wickedness.
You think you don't know what's in man? Oh, I tipped you me. He said, I know exactly what
you hear. They said, show me some money. Show me a penny. Show me the
tribute money that you're gonna pay to Caesar. And they brought
unto him a penny. And he said unto him, whose picture's
on that money? Whose picture's on that money?
They said, why, Caesar's. He said, well, you give to Caesar
what's Caesar, and you give to God what belongs to God. They
thought we got him. And it says there they heard
these things and they marveled. And listen to what happens next.
The same day came to him the Sadducees. They were the ruling
religious party of this particular day, and they don't believe in
a resurrection. And they said to him, Master,
if a man die having no children, his brother shall marry his wife
and raise up seed under his brother. There are seven brothers, they
all died, and every one of them had the same woman over and over,
and they all married the same woman. Brother died, the next
one took her, the brother died, the next one married her, the
next one not, so up to seven brothers. And look what he said.
And how it says, and how it went on and on, he says, and then
they ask him in verse 28, cause they don't believe in a resurrection.
Therefore in the resurrection, whose wife shall she be of the
seven? Verse 28. For they all had her.
Our Lord said unto them, He said, listen, this is what you do.
You make a very bad mistake. You don't know the scriptures,
and you certainly don't know nothing about the power of God.
For in the resurrection there is no marriage. There's no marriage,
no giving in marriage as the angels. But as church in the
resurrection of the dead, have you not read that which was spoken
unto you by God saying, I'm the God of Abraham. I'm the God of
Jacob and the God of Jacob. God is not the God of the dead,
but the living. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob's alive.
God's the God, listen. What'd they say then? And a multitude
were astonished that they had his doctrine. Now here comes
the third group. This is this religious wisdom,
political wisdom, this is wisdom. This is the best man's got to
offer. And they all come to trap our master. And then one of them,
which was a lawyer. Now, when they talk about a lawyer,
not a lawyer like you and I know a lawyer, that, you know, goes
into court. These fellas were doctors of
what they call the law. They know all the things and
ins and outs and jots and tittles of the law. And a lawyer asked
of him a question, tempting him, said, Master, which is the great
commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, thou shalt
love thy Lord thy God with all your heart and all your soul
and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment.
And the second is like unto it, thou shalt love thy neighbor
as thyself. And on these two commandments hang all the law
and the prophets. And while the Pharisees were
gathered together, Jesus asked them. He said, now I'm gonna
ask you a question. What think ye of Christ? What
think ye of Christ? And they all, every one of them
said, well, he's the son of David. They all knew that he's going
to be the son of David. He's going to be the Messiah.
And he said, and then he said to this to them, how then does
David in spirit call him Lord? Call Christ the Lord, saying,
the Lord said unto my Lord, sit down on my right hand till I
make you enemies of my footstool. If David then call him Lord,
how is he son? Now look what happens now. And
no man was able to answer him. He answered all their questions,
but nobody could answer him. Neither did any man from that
day forth ever ask him another question. That's what we're talking
about. That's the best man's got to
do. That's religious wisdom, worldly wisdom. But oh, that's
the nature of wisdom. It's the quality of being wise. It begins with fear in the Lord.
Let me tell you something else it is. It's unearthly. Look again
there in Bocak over in Job. It's unearthly. He said, where
shall wisdom be found? Where is the place of understanding? Where is wisdom to be found?
Where is the place of understanding? It's not on this earth to be
found, that's for sure. Where is this knowledge, where
is this knowledge to be found that changes a man's character,
satisfies a man's soul, that brings glory to God? Well, I'll
tell you what, look what he says here. He said, I'll tell you
where it's not. He said in verse 13, it's not
in the land of the living. He says, neither man knoweth
the price thereof, neither is it found in the land of the living.
It's not found in the land of the living, not found among the
human race. It's not found in the wilderness
of humanity. It's not found in fallen man.
It's not natural to man. So it's not in the land of the
living. And look what it says in verse
14. It's not, you know, it's not something. Look what he says.
The dead say it's not in me. And then it says, the sea says,
it's not in me. We're looking for wisdom. We're
looking for understanding. And they said, it's not in the
land of the living. In the depth, how far down you
gonna go? The depth said, it's not in me.
You go to the bottom of the sea and go to all the seas. It's
not in me. No one, nor any created creature
can give this priceless gift of this wisdom. It's not in this
earth. Multitudes of valuable things
have been brought out of the land. Gold and silver and diamonds
and rubies and sapphires and all these things come out of
the ground. And I tell you, come out of the
ocean. The depths of the sea. They go down into the depths
of the sea and there's people that even go down and suck up
gold out of the ocean. And then they go down there and
they find pearls in the ocean. And they go down there and they
find these ships full of gold and full of silver and they find
all these treasures. And we bring up food and all
kinds of food and all the things that come out of the earth and
out of the sea. And yet they say, wisdom's not in me. Oh, it's not in me. But oh, the wisdom, the wisdom
that makes a man wise unto salvation in Christ has never ever been
found in any created being and nowhere is on this earth by anything
that you can go. How deep you can go or how high
you can go or any place that you can go. Oh, there's a lot
of valuable things, but oh, to be wise that makes, the wisdom
that makes a man wise unto salvation in Christ. has never been found
in any created being. Men from one generation has sought
it after it in this world. William Blake wrote a poem, The
Price of Wisdom. What would a man give for the
price of wisdom? And he went through all kinds
of things and he said still, I don't know where we can find
it. We're gonna get wisdom. Oh, Sidney, a man would give
his child to have wisdom. A man would go hungry to find
wisdom. A man would go out in the cold
to find wisdom. A man would give everything that
he could get his hands on for wisdom. And here's a heathen
poet. And men go from one generation,
they seek after it in this world and yet they never find it. It's
unworthy. People call themselves philosophers
and they write books trying to get men to understand things
and the mysteries of this world. And yet to find the wisdom that'll
make a man wise under salvation in Christ, where do you find
that at? And oh, then it's so precious.
Look how precious it is. Look down in verse 13. Man knows not the price thereof.
He don't know the price of it. Oh, how can you? Man don't know the price. It
can't be priced. Wisdom can't be priced. Man don't
know the price. Who would dare? Who would dare
to put a value on the Lord Jesus Christ? Who would put a value
on the fear of God and the wisdom that comes in the fear of God?
That's just the beginning of it. All the treasures of wisdom
and knowledge are hid in the Lord Jesus Christ. Called the
unsearchable riches. And I tell you what, it's priceless. It can't be priced. And oh, that's
what he says down here in verse 15. You can't get it with gold, silver,
you know, and you can weigh out all the silver that you can get
your hands on and it won't buy your wisdom. It won't buy your
wisdom. It won't do it. The wealth of this world and
all that's in it can't buy the wisdom of God. What an insult. To God Almighty, what an insult
to His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to even think to try to buy the
wisdom that only found in God, only found in the Lord Jesus
Christ, the salvation that's in Him. God's wisdom can only
be found in one place. And that's the beginning of wisdom
is to fear the Lord. And when you fear the Lord, you
start looking, Christ is the wisdom of God. And I'll tell
you what, all of our righteousnesses are filthy wags. And I'll tell
you some folks that thought that the wisdom of God could be bought
with a price. Ananias and Sapphire, they thought
that they could find their way into the kingdom of God. Thought
that they could buy this wisdom. And old Simon the sorcerer is
a wealthy man and he believed and he followed Peter around
and followed the apostles around and Peter laid his hands on some
people and they got the Holy Ghost descended upon them and
they began to speak in tongues and in the language. And old
Simon reached in his pocket and he said, listen, how much will
it take for me to have this kind of power? You know what Peter
said unto you? Merit money perish with you.
You're in the gall of bitterness. And people think they can actually
buy. Oh my. But what an insult to
the wisdom of God and the wealth of God and the glory of God in
His blessed Son trying to buy wisdom to know God, to know Christ. And I tell you, it can't be equal.
Look what it says down in verse 17. The gold and the crystal cannot
equal it. Used to collect crystal. You
know, there's little old pieces of crystal, very, very, very,
very expensive. What's that stuff called? But anyway, it's a very, very
expensive crystal. And you buy little things of
it, little flowers animals and different things and very very
expensive very expensive and Anyway, the golden crystal cannot
equal it and the exchange you can't exchange it for jewels
of fine gold What that margin says was vessels full of gold
and I tell you don't even mention coral Don't mention pearls, for
the price of wisdom is above rubies. You ain't got enough
rubies to pay for it. And then you look at topaz. It's
coming out of Ethiopia. It won't equal it. And it can't
be valued, can't be valued with pure gold. Oh, nothing can equal
it. Nothing can take its place, and
nothing can substitute or equal for it. And you can't exchange
something for it, for this priceless, priceless wisdom. Look what he
said there again in verse 17. And the exchange of it cannot
be for jewels or fine gold. It can't be exchanged. Well,
I'll give this for this wisdom. If you found the wisdom of God,
and you found the wisdom of God, and God's blessed you with the
wisdom of God in the Lord Jesus Christ, that wisdom that produces
the salvation, that wisdom that shows you in Christ, and we'll
get to that here in a minute. You know what, if God gives you
this wisdom to make you know Christ, and to know that the
wisdom of God's found in Christ, and what I mean by the wisdom
of God, and I'll show, you know, how in the world can God, how
can God be holy, just, and righteous, and true? and take worms, sinners,
rebels, dead men, God-haters, Christ-rejecters, how can He
take His holiness and His righteousness and His truth and how can He
come down and take the worst of the worst off the face of
this earth and make them His children? How can He do that? Well, I'll tell you how I can
do it. He said that Christ is that wisdom of God, and we'll
get to that. And I'll tell you, it's power,
can't be doubted. I'll tell you nothing. Listen,
the wisdom that God taught us in Christ, I wouldn't give 10,000
worlds for what God's taught me, what I know in Christ. And it can't be doubted. Look
what he said in verse 22. We've heard the fame bearer with
our ears. We've heard about it. Solomon was a wise man. His wisdom was known all over
the world. All over the world. And there
is this great king. I mean great Queen, Queen of
Sheba. Oh, she was wealthy. She had
a whole bunch of people traveling with her. She had what they call
a train. A whole bunch of people traveling with her. She heard
about Solomon and she said, I'm going to go down there and meet
this man. I want to hear something about him. I heard so much about
him. She went down there and she met Solomon. And she heard
his words, and she saw his service, and she saw his food, and he
saw his wealth, and she saw his wisdom. And you know what she
said? When she left, she said, the have ain't yet been told. We've been trying to tell the
wisdom of God in Christ, and Christ being our wisdom, and
that ain't even got started. Oh my. Wisdom enemies testifies
to its fame. Wisdom saves from destruction
and death. Oh my. Well, look what he says
here in verse 20. Back up here in verse 20. Whence
then cometh this wisdom? Where is the place of understanding?
Where is it? Oh my. Where does it come from? Who knows this wisdom? Well,
God understands the way and the place. Look what he says in verse
23. God understands the way and he knows the way of wisdom and
he knows where understanding's at. For he looks to the ends
of the earth and seeth under the whole world. You know the
way that he understands the way. Let's talk about the way. Let's
talk about the way. It's said in Psalms 85, righteousness
and peace have kissed each other. Mercy and truth are met together. Where did that take place at?
That took place at the cross. Here's righteousness and here's
mercy. Righteousness says, I demand
death. Righteousness says, I got to
be upheld. Righteousness says, sin's got
to be paid for. Righteousness says, sin's got
to be punished. But mercy stands up and says,
oh, I know a way. God found a way. Who is it? Wisdom stands up and says, I
know the way. I know the way if we can find
someone equal to God himself that can become a man and that
can bear sin and be willing to do it. And so God in wisdom provided
us a savior, a substitute. God came down and he assumed
the womb of a virgin and grew up to be a man. And as a man,
he was holy, harmless, sinful, sinless, and undivided. But God,
in his infinite wisdom, Christ said, I'll die in their stead. You can still be righteous, God. My father, you can still be just,
my father. You can still punish sin, my
father. And you can also show mercy,
and you can also show grace, and you can uphold truth. How
can I do it? The Lord laid on him the iniquity
of Saul. He was wounded, with nails in
his hands, spear in his side. He was wounded for our transgressions. And he was bruised, that means
he was beaten. and the chastisement, the beating
of his piece was upon him. And oh, it pleased the Lord to
make his soul an offering for sin. And then God said, I see,
I see the travail of his soul. And you know what God said? I'm
satisfied. Christ saw the travail of his
soul. He said, I'm satisfied. And he
said, it's finished. And since it's been finished,
we can now see that our Lord Jesus Christ, we can look at
Him and say, I'm satisfied too. I'm satisfied with the wisdom
of the way God saves a sinner by making somebody else to take
our place and then giving us what He accomplished. Huh? Oh
my. And all that was done. And that's
why Paul says, you know, we're called to preach the gospel,
not with wisdom of man's words. No, no, no. And only God, only
God. Look what he says. He says, you
know, God understands, verse 23, that way thereof, and he
knows the place thereof. He sees the whole earth and everything
under the whole heaven. Only God could provide the way
to satisfy His holy nature. Only God could know how to express
His love and mercy at the same time. Only God would know how
to save a sinful soul and make them whole in the Lord Jesus
Christ. Oh, was it for crimes that I
had done, He groaned upon the tree? Huh? Was it for crimes that I had
done? He groaned upon the tree. Was it for crimes that I had
done? Oh, yes, yes, yes. Oh, my. Then look what it says
down in verse 27. And you put Christ in here. Then
did he see him, and he declared him, and he prepared him. Yea, he searched it all out.
Oh my, and look what he says now, and he comes down and he
says in verse 28, and this is what he says to me and you. He
said to man, behold, the fear of the Lord, that's wisdom. And to depart from evil, that's
understanding. Evil and foolishness go hand
in hand. Evil and sin go hand in hand.
They're twins. but wisdom and understanding
are twins that only comes through knowing God. This wisdom comes,
and let me give you one verse of scripture, and you know, in
1 Corinthians 1.30, look at it with me. You know, James said, if any man lacks
wisdom, let him ask of God. who giveth to all men, and upbraideth
not. He don't make one man to be above
another man. If any man lack wisdom, let him
ask of God. Oh my. But look what it says in verse
30, 1 Corinthians 1. But of him, of God, are ye in
Christ Jesus. Now you can't get in Christ on
your own. And God made Christ unto us, here's the first thing
He made Him. He made us Christ's wisdom. Wisdom unto us. We understand
how God can be just and justify the ungodly. We understand how
that God can save a sinner and stay God. Then it goes on to say, Oh, He's
made unto us wisdom. And then, oh my, and then this
wisdom makes us to understand His righteousness. That there's
only righteousness. His wisdom calls us to understand
that we're holy, that we're sanctified once and for all in the Lord
Jesus Christ. And this word redemption, that
means for our body. That don't mean that Christ paid
for our redemption. That's talking about He's the
redemption of our body. When He comes, He's paid for
these bodies and He's gonna have them. And here's the reason God
made Christ to be all these things to us, that according as it is
written, if a man's gonna glory in anything, let him glory in
the Lord. Where is wisdom to be found?
One place, in the Lord Jesus Christ and God in Him. Our Lord Jesus, who our blessed
Master, Thank you for allowing us to meet here this evening.
Thank you for your word. Lord, wisdom is so hard to come by.
Wisdom is so elusive, but yet to have that wisdom of God to
sin Christ, to have the understanding of
how God can be holy, just, and righteous, and yet come and save sinners
in such a way that God keeps all of His glory. God upholds
His own holiness and righteousness and comes and saves us by making
His Son to be identified with us, to take our place, take our
shame, take our guilt, take our sin, bury it away in His own
body, Be buried in a grave and leave it all there. Leave all
of our sin, leave all of our guilt, leave all of our shame
behind. And then bring us in the gospel this wisdom. Oh Lord,
thank you. Blessed be your holy name. And
God bless these dear saints. And for those who are watching
tonight but can't be here because of the weakness and frailty of
their bodies, we pray for great grace to be given to them. We
ask these things in the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. Jesus Christ is made to me all
I need, all I need. He alone is all my plea. He is all Wisdom, righteousness, and power. Holiness forevermore. My redemption full and sure. He is all to need. See you Wednesday, God willing.
Good night and God bless you.
