I want to get my subject, the
title of my message, out of verse 31. Verse 31. Therefore when he was gone out,
Jesus said, now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified
in him. I want to talk about the Lord
Jesus being glorified. And what He's doing here is He's
speaking of His death. You know, He started out now.
He said, now my hour has come. He mentioned His hour several
times. He said, you know, He hasn't come out from the Father,
He's going to go back to the Father. Everything God had given
into His hands. And here our Lord Jesus Christ
speaking of His death. He's not regarding it as a martyrdom,
He's not regarding it as a disgrace. And our blessed Savior here is
viewing His death on that awful, awful tree. He contemplates His
death on that shameful tree as His glorification. He said, I'm
going to be glorified on that cross. I'm going to be glorified
by my death. And God's going to be glorified
in it too. You know, when our Lord Jesus Christ, God spoke
about Him twice, spoke from heaven twice about His blessed Son.
When our Lord was baptized, and the dove descended upon Him,
God spoke from heaven, said, this is my beloved Son, in whom
I'm well pleased. And God spoke from heaven. And
then on the Mount of Transfiguration, when our Lord Jesus Christ was
there with Peter, John, and James, and he was changed into his glorified
body. He had the body, you know, like
it'd be glorified in heaven. It was shown like the brightness
of the sun. Glistened, it said. And while
he was there, Moses and Elijah was there with him. And they
appeared. And then, The Lord God spoke
from heaven again out of a cloud and said, this is my beloved
son in whom I am well pleased. He said, now hear him, hear what
he has to say. You better pay attention to what
he has to say. And so if the Lord Jesus had
then said, after his father spoke from heaven, after the father
said, this is my beloved son in whom I'm well pleased, If
he had said that, and he told him that twice, he says, now,
now is the Son of Man glorified. If he had said it then, we could
have understood it. But it was not then, it's now
in these very, very strange circumstances. In view of his death, in view
of his betrayal, in view of all that was gonna happen to him,
he had just washed his disciples' feet just washed their feet. And he told them that one of
them was gonna betray him. And he knew who it was. And the
scriptures told us there in verse four that Jesus, knowing all
things, that should come upon him. And he says, now that the
scriptures may be fulfilled. And I tell you what, he was sitting
eating with these men, eating with these men. And after that
had the supper, and he had to wash the feet. He has been eating
with these men, and was gonna have a meal with these men. And
when our Lord said then, verse 31, now therefore when Judas
had gone out, the sop Satan had entered into him, and there they were, there's
all sitting around, wondering who is this he is talking about.
And when our Lord spoke these words, now is the Son of Man
glorified. After Judas had done betrayed
Him, after Judas went out, when these words were spoken, our
Lord Jesus Christ, He was facing the deepest, deepest humiliation. You know, it was humiliating
enough that He was God, come down from heaven, What humiliation
it was for Him to assume human nature. What a humiliation it
was for Him to become a man and have to dwell among a bunch of
sinful people. How humiliating was it that our
Lord Jesus Christ worked for a living? How humiliating was
it that He knew that He'd come into this world accanted with
grief and a man of sorrows? What humiliation was there? Yah,
it's worse. You think about when we, when
we sowed sin, when we sowed whore ourselves sometimes, and know
that in this flesh dwells no good thing, that our Lord Jesus
Christ took upon our nature. What humiliation. But then he
went deeper in humiliation than that. The humiliation of having to
suffer and having to die. The humiliation of having his
people's sins charged to his account. And then not only when
he said this, now as the Son of Man glorified, he was talking
about he was going to have the most severe sufferings that you
and I could never enter into. Like John Newton said, an evil
long I took delight Oh, he is going to go through
the most severe suffering. And do you know what made his
suffering severe? So severe, because he had no
cause of suffering in himself. He was sinless. He was holy. He was harmless, undefiled, separate
from sinners. So do you know what made his
suffering so severe? Because he did not have to suffer
for himself. And then all the false and heavy
accusations that was fixing to come upon him. He's going to
suffer at the hands of men, going to suffer at the hands of God. And all the lies that would be
told on him. The accusations that would be
laid on him. And that there would come a time
when he would face an awful cruel cruel, condemning sentence. Away
with him, crucify him. We want him to be crucified like
a criminal would be crucified. What's his charge? He said he
was a king, said he was a savior, said he was God, said he was
the mediator, said he's the only one that can save a man. Oh,
we can't have that. We can't have this man to reign
over us. Let's kill him. Let's crucify him. And oh my, and they done when
he stood before his accusers, they did the most blasphemous
things to him. Spit in his face, pulled out
his beard, slapped him, put a crown of thorns on him, put a purple
robe on him, bowed to him with a reed in their hand, said, Hail,
King of the Jews. And then when they nailed him
to that tree, you know the fellowship that he had? Two thieves, one
on either side of him. Criminals, criminals. And oh my, Then it come time,
he said, now is the Son of Man glorified. Now he had to face
the awful, awful agonies of death. He said in verse 21 here, he
said, when Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, troubled
in spirit. And he had to face the awful,
awful agonies of death. Not a common death, not a death
that you and I'll have to face. through a heart attack or old
age, through some kind of disease. Most of us will not face an agonizing
death. Most of us will just die of old
age, or we'll drop dead of a heart attack. We're all going to go
that way, but our Lord Jesus Christ, He had to face the awful
agony of death, because death had no claim on Him. And the
agonies of bearing sin, not His own, but somebody else's. The
agonies of God Himself. When He says, My God, My God,
why hast Thou forsaken Me? Oh, then he had to face the awful,
fearful-looking judgment of God coming upon him. God's judgment
was going to come upon this man. Oh, how could he say, now is
the Son of Man glorified? Huh? God's judgment is going
to come upon him. And the awful wrath of God was
going to be poured out on him. And I'll tell you what, and I'll
tell you, here's another thing when he says, now is the Son
of Man gone. When he spoke this, he had the
knowledge, he had the knowledge, he said, Jesus knowing all things
that should come upon him. That's what he said, knowing
all things is going to come upon him. He had the knowledge that
I'll be left alone on that cruel tree in my most awful, awful
hour. I'll have to tread the winepress
of the fierceness of the wrath of God by myself. My garments will be stained with
blood. My garments will be stained. Who is this that comes up from
Basra? with his garments stained. It's he that cometh to tread
the winepress alone. Oh my. And I tell you then, he's
going after this. He knew this was going to happen
to him. The cold, cold, lonely grave awaited him. He's going to be buried in another
man's tomb. But in view of all this, And
that's just a tiny bit of what could actually happen. But in
view of all this, in view of all these situations and circumstances,
you know what he says? Now is the Son of Man glorified. Where in the world in our Savior's
death on the cross was his glorification? Where was His glorification?
How was the Son of Man glorified? And it's said here, now is the
Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in Him. I tell you,
the Son of Man glorified, and God incarnate glorified, who
was glorified on that cross. Let me give you a few things
about it. In the death of our Lord Jesus Christ on the cross,
you know what glorified Him? He performs the greatest work
that was ever accomplished in the history of the universe.
The greatest work that was ever accomplished in this whole universe. And the universe is vast, you
know, they got this telescope that talks about all these galaxies
and all these billions of stars and all of that. But I tell you,
in all the universe, And God created it. And the universe
is in God. God's not in the universe. The
universe is in God. He's above the universe. I tell
you, He's above all the stars. And He called them all by name.
But in all the history of the world, since history ever started,
He performed the greatest work in the history of this universe. You know, it's talked about the
past eternity, Christ stood as the lamb slain from the foundation
of the world. So I'll tell you what, when God
said that, from then and there, Christ had his cross in view. Christ had his cross in view.
And they all, God looked to it, Christ looked to it, eternity
looked to what was gonna be done this day here when the Son of
Man shall be glorified. The greatest event in history.
And now eternity waited for it, and now eternity, when we get
into eternity, you know what we're gonna say? Unto Him that
was slain, He is worthy that was slain to redeem us to God
by His own blood out of ever kindred, nation, tongue, and
people. That's what we're gonna look
back to. Eternity waited for it, and eternity
now looks back to it. He is called the promised seed. He is called the promised Lamb.
He is called the promised Savior. And when He came into this world,
do you know what the angel told Mary He was going to do? He told
her, I tell you what you are going to name Him. You are going
to name Him Jesus, Jehovah Savior. Why are you gonna live with that?
Cause he's come to save his people from their sins. That's why he's
come for. Oh, I tell you what, that's why
he said, now is the son of man glorified. And here's another
reason. In his death on the cross, when
he looked forward to this and he's glorified, he reversed,
he done away. with what our father, Adam, had
done. He done away and took away the
fruit of the first man, Adam, which is death and which is sin.
You know, by one man sin entered this world. By one man, sin was
put away. Let me show you that over here
in Psalm 69. Look with me in Psalm 69. You know our Lord Jesus Christ, we can't even touch the garment
yet of what He actually accomplished for us. And then He called His death,
He says, now is the Son of Man born. His hours now come. His hours now come. But let's read a few verses here
and listen at it, what it says. He says, save me, oh God, for
the waters are coming under my soul. What waters? The waters
of your wrath, the waters of your judgment, the waters of
sin. I sink in deep mire. I have no
standing. I've come into deep waters where
the floods overflow me. He said, I'm weary, I'm so weary
of my crying. My throat is dry. Mine eyes fail
while I wait for God, for my God. They that hate me without
a cause are more than the hairs of mine head. They that would
destroy me, being mine enemies, wrongfully are mighty. They all, everything they did
was wrong. Then I restored that which I
took not away, I restored that which I took
not away. You know sin came by Adam, life came by
Christ. In God's will, there's only two
men in this world as far as representatives. Both of them, both of them represented
the human race. One man, Adam, he represented
all of God's, everybody on the face of this earth. And I tell
you, two men in God's will, two men in God's purpose, two men
in God's covenant. The first Adam, he was in a covenant
of works. God told him if he did a certain
thing, then he could live. God told him if he failed in
that, that God would curse him. God would put death upon him.
God would bring death upon him. And I tell you what, then our
Lord Jesus Christ, he came, and this is what he said, now is
the Son of Man glorified. Because his death on the cross
done away with what the first Adam did. It put away what the
first Adam did. You know, both were representatives,
and we were in both by birth. And we in both of them inherited
a nature. In our first father, Adam, we
inherited a fallen nature. And we were in them by birth.
And we inherited his nature, false nature. A fallen nature. And then in Christ, we get in
Christ by new birth. By new birth. And in that new
birth, we inherited a new nature. We're given a new nature. Made
partakers of the divine nature. Oh, we're in both. We was up
like this. We was held up by God's hand. We fell all the way to the bottom. But now, just like I'm gonna
pick up this book, Christ picked us up. He reached down. The Savior reached
down. When He reached down for me,
He had to reach down. We were so far off in Adam that
we couldn't see God, we couldn't see righteousness, we lived in
darkness, we were so far off and so lost that we could not
find our way back. But when Christ shed his blood
on this cross, the scripture said we were made nigh, brought
nigh, how? By the blood of Christ. Oh, we disobeyed God in Adam. He said, we'll not have this
man reign over us. But oh my, when our Lord Jesus
Christ became obedient unto death, we obeyed God in Him. We obeyed
God in Him. Oh my, as in Adam, we all die
in Christ, shall we all be made alive. We was naked in Adam,
clothed with nothing but fig leaves. But when Christ died, He brought
in righteousness and everlasting righteousness. And He put a garment
on us that God Himself, when He looks at it, He sees nothing
but glory and brightness and sinlessness and perfection and
completeness. When God looks at us, He sees
nothing but Christ. Now, we're not naked anymore. Huh? Oh my. And I tell you, we was innocent
in Adam. Let me tell you what I mean.
Before Adam fell, he was just innocent. He didn't have a righteousness.
He had not a righteousness of his own. He was just innocent. That's a negative position. When
he fell, he sinned. He sinned grievously against
God. But now, beloved, there never was a time we were innocent.
There was a time we was innocent. But in Christ, we who were guilty,
our guilt was put away. Our guilt was atoned for. Our
guilt was put away by the Lord Jesus Christ. And Christ gave
us his righteousness, and that's what closes us in the sight of
God. Huh? Oh, not only that, but God gave
us his nature. Made partakers of the divine
nature. Adam was a rebel. Oh, what a rebel he was. Christ
was an obedient son. Adam was disobedient unto death.
Christ. Adam was disobedient unto death. Christ was obedient unto death. I tell you what, the scriptures
tells us that He, though He was Son, yet learned He obedience
by the things which He suffered. And He became obedient unto death,
even the death of the cross. The chief end of man, I've told
you this since I've been preaching to you. The chief end of man, what God
made man, is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. Well, our
Lord Jesus Christ glorified God. He says, now is the Son of Man
glorified and God is glorified in Him. And God was never more
glorified than in His incarnate Son on this earth. And because
He did glorify His Father, in every day of his life, in his
death, and even now in glory. And I tell you because he did,
he did, you know what we'll be able to do? Because he glorified
God, we'll be able to enjoy God forever and ever and ever because
of what he did. I enjoy God now, not like I want
to, not like I'd like to, not like I need to, but there's coming
a time, because of what Christ did, I'll enjoy God forever and
ever and ever. Huh? Because Christ glorified
it. Christ glorified it. And let
me give you another thing here. Why did he said, now is the Son
of Man glorified and God glorified in him? The third thing is through
his death, through our Lord's death on the cross, he destroyed
him who had power over death. Now I want you to look with me
over here in Hebrews chapter 2. I want you to look with me
at this. I want to show you something.
And I hope I can express it the way I understand it. You see, through death, he destroyed
him who had the power over death. Now the scripture tells us plainly,
plainly, that God holds the breath of every living soul in his hands,
that all men are appointed unto death, and then after this, the
judgment. So when it talks about Satan had the power of death,
look what it says then here in verse Hebrews 2.14. For as much then as the children,
God's children, God's elect, are partakers of flesh and blood,
he also himself likewise took part of the same, that through
death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that
is the devil, and deliver them who through fear of death were
their lifetime subject to bondage. Now what did he mean here that
the devil had power over death? Well, he was responsible for
our parents, Adam and Eve's death. That's what he's talking about.
He deceived our parents, deceived Adam and Eve, and by that death
came upon men. Well, our Lord Jesus Christ destroyed
Satan didn't have, he only had, he has the power to keep people
dead in their sins. He had the power and the deceitfulness
and craftiness to deceive Eve and they fell into sin. That's
the power of death he has. He don't have the power of taking
our lives, taking, God's the only one that can give life and
take a man out of this world. But he's the one that had the
power of death to bring sin into this world. through deception.
And here's the thing about it. He's the one who keeps people
in darkness right now and wants to keep them away from Christ.
And our Lord talked about that so many times. Said, you know,
He comes and He sows bad seed. He comes and He deceives people
through riches, deceitfulness of sin. He comes to keep people
in darkness. and to keep them in that bondage
of death. Well Christ came and he destroyed
him who had the power of death. The power of death to keep us
in the bondage of sin. Christ destroyed death once and
for all. How do you know he destroyed
death? Because sin is the only thing
that can cause you to die. Sin's the only thing that'll
cause God to reject you. Sin's the only thing that'll
separate you from God. Christ destroyed that that separates
us from God, which is death and sin. Does that make any sense? Oh my. He became a man. He became a servant. Then he
went down even further and became like a criminal. And I'll tell
you something, beloved. Our Lord Jesus Christ was made
in the likeness of sinful flesh. We were partakers of flesh and
sin, partakers of flesh and blood. Well, our Lord Jesus Christ took
part of the same. So we were held in bondage by
darkness and death and sin. Christ came and he put that death
away. He put what caused death away.
He put sin away. And I'll tell you what, physical
death will get us, but we'll never ever face the second death.
And I hope you never have to face the second death. It's bad
enough that the first death that we had in Adam's sin was bad
enough. And Satan held us in sin all
the days of our life until Christ came and set us free from that.
Now death has no power over us. I mean even physical death has
no power over us. That's why Paul said, O grave,
where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?
The strength of sin is the law. Well, we ain't got no law against
us. Christ fulfilled it for us. He took away the sting. That's
why people can face death, and I tell you what, face it, and
that scripture says, without fear. I'd be scared to death
to go out of this world without Christ. My sweet wife the other day,
she said, do you ever feel, do you ever feel like you just,
it's like, you know, that you feel so dark inside. I said,
oh yes. Do you feel like, oh my goodness,
what would happen if we didn't have Christ? Oh yes. I know exactly
what happened without Christ. I knew what I was without Christ. Now I don't want to be there
again ever. Death ain't got no power over
us. Oh, brave was your victory. Oh my. He was made in the likeness
of flesh to accomplish the absolute defeat of every enemy against
God and against man. He said, here comes the prince
of this world. He said, he's coming up here. He said, but
he ain't got nothing in me. But now when Satan comes around,
he can find plenty of us to tempt us and work on our flesh,
work on our minds. But our Lord said, he ain't got
no part in me. Oh my, he can't go find nothing
in me. And may I just, let me say it
this way. Death was restored by Christ dying. Death was put away once and for
all by the death of Christ. Sin was put away by Christ being
made to be sin. Sin was destroyed and its power
was destroyed. We're no longer under the dominion
of sin. Why? Because we're not under
law, but under grace. Oh, death was destroyed by death,
sin destroyed by sin itself, Christ being made sin. Righteousness
obtained and given by a man having accounted us as righteous before
God himself. Oh, bless his holy name, bless
his holy name. And I love this, I tell you what, And our Lord, he says, now is
the Son of Man glorified. He said, what you gonna do, Judas? Do it quickly. You're gonna betray
me. They're gonna come after me.
And then when they come for him, he said to them, he said, if
you seek me, gotta let these go. You can't have me and them. You can't have them and me at
the same time. You gotta take me. And all his people get to go
free. And also in the cross, in the death of our Lord on the
cross, he paid the ransom price that was set. He said he laid
down his life, a ransom for many. Now everybody knows what a ransom
price is. That somebody sets a ransom and
if you pay that ransom, you get to go free. And when our Lord
paid the ransom that was set, and God set the price, God set
the price. What was the price? His life,
His obedience, His death, His sacrifice, His putting away sin,
He Himself was the ransom price. You give your life, you give
your blood, you give your sacrifice, you give everything you've got,
you give yourself, and that'll be the price that'll satisfy
me. It'll pay every debt, and they'll all go through. And because
of the freedom, he said, having loved his own, he loved them
unto the world, and he bought the freedom, the souls of all
his elect. Job asked this question. Or it
was said of Job in Job 33. He said, deliver him from going
down to the pit. Going down all the way to the
bottom of the pit. Or deliver him from going to
that bottomless pit that they saw in Revelation. Deliver him
from going down to the pit. Why? I found a ransom. Get him before he falls in. I found a ransom. And our Lord Jesus Christ, he
entered once into the holy place with his own blood. And what
did he get for us while he was in there? Eternal redemption. Oh, bless his holy name. Nothing
or no one else could accomplish that awful, awful task to pay
the price for so many and bring so many sons and bring them all
the way to glory. He said, I lay down my life for
the sheep. Nobody's going to take it from
me. And oh wonder they said, oh, oh, to him be the glory. They said that in Revelations.
Oh to Him be the glory both wisdom and power and righteousness and
wisdom and oh so many things they said about Him. Oh what everything our Lord Jesus
Christ did glorified Him. And how He did it, it glorified
Him. You know our Lord Jesus was a
willing sufferer. He says, no man takes my life
from me. No man takes my life. That's
why he says, now is my hour come. My hour's come. One of these
days, our hour's gonna come. Our final hour's gonna come.
Somebody'll look at their clock or look at their watch, and you
draw your last bet, say, well, he passed away at two minutes
after 12. He went home to be with Christ.
Write that down. But what time was it? It was
God's time. God's time. There can't be a
better time. Can't be a better time. I hope somebody looks at their
watch when I'm gone and says, well, he's gone now. Left here,
right when God said his time. I'm just glad, just had him say
that. Oh, my soul. Oh, our Lord was
a willing sufferer. And the price, you know what?
He said he joyfully paid it for the joy that was set before him.
Oh, yeah. Oh, my. He said he was a lamb
led to the slaughter. And I tell you, he had a joy
set before him. He had a joy set before him.
What was the joy set before him? I believe it was the joy that
all the sons, that he'd be able to bring to glory with him. The
Spirit of just men made perfect. Oh my, he had a joy set before
him. And while he was doing that,
he was bearing the curse of God's holy law. Cursed is everyone
that continueth not in all the things written in the law. And justice said, all the soul
that sinneth shall die, so sin was found on Christ. And cursed
is everyone that hangeth on a tree, and Christ was cursed in our
place. And as he was made sin for us,
you know what he said? You know what he said? It is
finished. Done. I never get finished with anything
before I have to start all over again. Ain't that right? You get something done today
and you got to do it again two or three days. You went and cleaned
your house one day and you got to go back and clean it three
days later. We never get anything finished.
But our Lord finished for us everything that God required. And gave us everything that God
would accept. Now, He provided for us what
He Himself will accept. And He gave us His blessed Son.
And you know what He said about us? We're now accepted in the
beloved. He said, this is my beloved son.
He said, you're accepted in my beloved son. Oh, my. Well, this is my last
point. It's my last one. Now, Son of
Man, glorify by virtue of his work on the cross. By virtue
of what our Lord Jesus Christ did on that cross, glorified
himself and glorified God. Our mediator, our Lord Jesus
Christ, he acquired a glory. What do I mean by that? Right
now, right now, there sits a man at the right hand of God Almighty.
A glorified man. A perfect man. He's God and man
sitting right there at the right hand of God. A man that, he said,
touch me not. He said, I'm not a sin to my
father yet. And you know what? He said, after he by himself purged our sins, he
sat down at the right hand of the glory and majesty of God
himself. And I'll tell you what, there's
one God, one God, just one God, one mediator, just one, between
God and man. Who is he? Jesus Christ. Where's he at? Sitting at the
right hand of the majesty on high. And I'll tell you something
else about him. While he's right there, he's
touched with the feelings of our infirmities. That's what a blessing. You know when you're touched
with an infirmity, he's already done. Oh my, God made him. Ain't that
what he said back over here? John 13 says, Jesus knowing that
the Father had given all things to him to do his hands. Oh my,
God put everything in the hands of his blessed son, the Lord
Jesus Christ. God made him and gave him absolute
authority over everything on this earth. Everything on this
earth. There ain't a thing in this universe
that Christ does not have power over and authority over. I believe that with all my heart.
I was talking to Bruce yesterday and we were talking about creation.
And he said, I believe in the literal six day creation. I said,
if you believe the Bible, you can't believe anything else.
Can you? Listen, if God could save a sinner,
if God gave His Son, if God gave a sinless, perfect, God-honored,
blessed, holy Son of God, and brought him into this world to
save a multitude of sinners. Why in the world couldn't he
make the world in six days when he can save a multitude that
no man can number by one man's? Huh? I don't have no problem
believing that. If he can save me, I can believe
anything. I mean, I'm serious about that.
I mean, oh my, I'm evidence of God's creation, creative power.
Lazarus knew something about God's creation. We all know that
men live and die, but nobody knows about dead men being brought
to life. And that's exactly what Christ did to Lazarus, and that's
exactly what Christ did for every one of us. He brought us from
death to life. Brought us from darkness to light. Brought us from the kingdom of
Satan into the kingdom of his dear son. That's pretty, that
takes some work, don't it? That takes some power. That takes self. Listen, I ain't
got it figured, that's why it's called the mystery of grace. Oh, as a man, God brought, he
brought everything under the rule of God Almighty, and then
God turned around and said, now you rule it. You got all the
authority, I want you to rule it. You've earned the right to
rule this world and everything that's in it. Everything's in
His hands. And He did it by work, by the
virtue of His work on that cross. And I'm telling you something.
We are all in the hands of a man, but He's a glorified man. And
I'd rather be in His hands than anybody else. Ain't that what he says? He said,
you're in my hands. Well, listen, somebody get me
out of there. No, no, he said, you ain't gonna get, nobody's
gonna get you out of my hand. It ain't gonna happen. It ain't
gonna happen. It ain't gonna happen. Oh, now is the Son of Man glorified,
and God is glorified in Him. Oh, no wonder we sang, what a
Savior, what a wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord. What a wonderful
Savior to me. Our Father, oh, blessed God in
heaven, oh, Lord, I get overwhelmed,
get just utterly, absolutely overwhelmed by your grace, by
your power, by the love we're with you, love your own, and
you'll never cease to love them. Oh Lord, we look, we look, we
look, we look, we look, we look to our Lord. We trust our Lord. We're saved by our Savior. We
come to God by you. We're cleansed in your blood.
We have your righteousness. We have the life that you give
us. And oh God, to have you in one of these days, God, you've
told us, because of what your Son did for us, that we'd be
able to enter into eternity with the spirits of just men made
perfect and enter into eternity and enjoy you forever and ever
and ever and ever and ever. Thank you for the blessed hope
that you give us in our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. Amen. Let's sing that hymn, The Wonderful
Savior. What is that, 257, 258, 256? The Wonderful Savior is Jesus,
my Lord. What is it? How much? What, A Wonderful Savior? Oh,
no, it's not. No, the one I'm talking about
is 250 something. Yeah, he hides my soul. That's
the name of it. Okay.
