The title of my message today
is The Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ. It says there in verse 43. To Him give all the prophets
witness that through His name whosoever believeth in Him shall
receive remission of sins. And Peter says that he commanded
us to preach the gospel. To preach unto the people. And
testify that God made him to be the judge of all. And here he is, this Gentile
man. And Peter was sent over there
to preach to him the gospel. And there's so many truths about
our Lord Jesus Christ. That'd be impossible to deal
with all of them at one time. Just absolutely utterly impossible.
But it's a wonderful subject. It's a wonderful subject. You
know, no matter where you take him up at, what subject you take
about him, you can never exhaust it. You can never exhaust it.
And the truth concerning him is he's the sinner of all history.
He's the center of all history. He's the center of all Biblical
history. Biblical history is a subject
that starts out in Genesis and it shows you how the history
of redemption starts out in Genesis 3.15 and it starts unfolding
all the way through the Old Testament until Christ Himself comes. That's
what Biblical history is about, the history of redemption. And
He's the one that was in the bosom of the Father and came
to declare Him. And He says, nobody knows who
the Father is but Me. And He to whomsoever the Father
will reveal Him. God loved His Son from all eternity. And everything in history, everything
in history pointed to Him. And everything since His coming
points back to Him. All history centers in Him. And
everything that has happened points back to Him. Our calendar
proves that. Do you know our calendar proves
that? You got B.C. and A.D. Before Christ and Edo
Domino, the year of our Lord. Let me tell you what I mean by
that. Isaiah spoke of Him 600 years before He ever come. Moses
spoke of him 1,500 years before he ever came. So all history
was pointing to him. And all of our calendar says
before Christ, B.C., before Christ. Then after Christ, after his
death, then you have Eno Domino, the year of our Lord. And now,
here's Simon Peter preaching, going back to where he was. into
His coming. I'm here today to preach to you
something that happened 2,000 years ago. So we've got history
coming to Him and history going back to Him. So everything centers in Him.
And if we, if God's been pleased to let us see that and know that
and understand that, you're talking about a blessing. You know Abraham,
the scripture said this, Abraham saw his day. Now that was thousands of years before Christ
came. Abraham saw my day and rejoiced. How could that
be? Well, same way you and I see. Same way you and I see it. And the scriptures place that
the Lord Jesus Christ and shows us the Lord Jesus Christ and
is pleased and plans and praying that Christ is the author and
everything about the scriptures. And it teaches us the salvation
that he accomplished. That he accomplished. is the
very essence of Biblical Christianity. And why do I say Biblical Christianity? Because there's Christianity
or Christian, so-called Christian, that does not resemble Biblical
Christianity. And so I try to say Biblical
Christianity, Biblical salvation if I can. And that's what the
Scriptures and the Lord Jesus Christ and what it says about
Him, is different than all other religions. Let me tell you this
right up front. Our Lord did not come to establish
a new religion. He come to establish salvation. He had promised to bring salvation.
And all other religions, all other religions is based on somebody's
teaching and if you follow those teachings then you can, like
Buddha. Buddha started with a man called
Siddhartha sitting under a tree, and he decided that he was going
to try to see what enlightenment was. And Buddha has been trying
to teach people what enlightenment is since he was. But you take
Buddha out of it, and somebody else would have come up with
it. Ain't that right? You take Muhammadism, Muslims. It started with a man called
Muhammad. But if Mohammed had never existed, they would have
still come up with the religion like what Mohammed teaches now.
Somebody would have done it. And you take all the Eastern
religions, with that one that's got seven or eight arms and all
kinds of heads and things like that, to cover all the religions.
But all other religions, it's the teaching that matters. People
go from all over the world to India to sit under some guru.
But it's the teaching that matters. In biblical Christianity, it's
the person that matters. It's based on a person. That's
why he says to him, to him, not just to him, give all the prophets
witness. And that's what we're talking
about. And I tell you, Christ in it, and you know it's the
person that matters. Because we say that Christ Himself is
salvation. Christ Himself is salvation. You can be a Calvinist and miss
Christ. You can be religious and miss
Christ. The Pharisees miss Christ. The
Sadducees miss Christ. A lot of the Jews miss Christ.
And I tell you, Christ himself is salvation. And that's why
so many who claim to be Christians aren't, and I'll tell you why.
Because that Christ as a person is not essential to them. Church
is essential to them. Going to an altar is essential
to them. Changing the way they live is essential to them. Quit
drinking, smoking, and chewing, and running with them to do,
that's You can have that without Christ. You can train your dress
codes in this Christ. And I tell you what, now what
people are doing, this is what I mean, the person is not essential
to them. They either want to keep him
in a manger as a helpless infant, Not like
Simeon saw him when he took him up in his arms and said, now
my eyes see thy salvation in a baby. Now let thy servant depart
in peace. But they want to keep him in
a manger or else they want to put him on a crucifix and keep
him on a cross. And then if they ever get him
off the cross, then they have to cooperate with him and work
with him and let him do whatever he wants. That's what I'm talking
about. You can have so-called Christianity when Christ is not
an essential person to you. But now when Christ becomes essential
to you, your life himself, to me to live as Christ is what
Paul said. And I tell you, that's the thing
about it. You know, you take Christ from the Bible, take Christ
out of the Bible. Take Christ from salvation, and
what have you got? Nothing. It ceases, it vanishes. And that's why the salvation
that God teaches us and brings out in the Bible is entirely
about Him. Entirely about who He is. It
said, you know, Peter said, here is Jesus of Nazareth. God anointed
him. He was the Christ. He was the
Messiah. And we're witnesses of the things
that he did. I'll tell you what, I'll tell
you. Salvation of the Bible is entirely about him. Who he is. What he did. Why he did it. And who he did it for. You know
Galatians 1 8 says this he said if me if I myself Talking about
himself Talking to the Galatians if I myself come and preach another
gospel Then I preached unto you if an angel comes and preaches
another gospel unto you let him be accursed Let him be accursed. And you know what he said? A
marvel that your soul soon removed from the grace of Christ unto
another gospel. A gospel of works. A gospel of
will. A gospel of will worship. And oh, I tell you. Why four gospels? Why do we have
four gospels? Well, You let somebody see the
same thing happen. You let somebody be on four corners
and watch a wreck happen. And every one of them, when the
law says, well, what happened? Well, where I sent it from, that
fell over there, he messed up. No, no, I was just at this corner,
and that guy hit that guy. I was on this corner, and listen,
I was looking the other way, I didn't see anything. It's like a car. One side of
it's red, the other side of it's white. And the middle of it's
green. So a guy driving behind it, you
say, what color is that car? It's green. A fellow drives up
beside it, he says, what color is that car? That's white. Another
guy goes on the other side, what color is that car? It's red.
And they all told the truth, but the car, that means he bought
the car. And that's why we have four Gospels.
Because there's so much to say about Christ that they had to
go over and over and over and all of them seen Him as a different
person and seen different things that He did and tells it in a
different way from their point of view. And the Holy Ghost blessed
them to put everything down just the way it's supposed to be. And the Gospels are written to
divine truth. Look over here in Luke with me.
Look in Luke chapter 1. The gospel is written to define
truth. Define it. And the gospel can
be defined. It can be defined for people
to listen to. It really truly can. And look
what Luke says here in chapter 1, in verse 1. And this is what he says. For
as much as many have taken in hand, to set forth in order a
declaration of those things which are most surely believed among
us." He said, we've taken it ahead and everybody, there's
a whole bunch of us that's set out to write down the things
that we really believe, the things that we believe with all our
hearts. Even as they, listen to this, as they delivered them
unto us. which were from the beginning,
listen to this now, were eyewitnesses, eyewitnesses of Christ, eyewitnesses
of what he did. And we were ministers of the
word, preaching the word. That's what Peter went over to
do, to be a minister of the word. And it seemed good to me also.
Now listen, this is really, this just, my poor little old mind
has a hard time trying to get this. It seemed good to me also,
having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first.
He said, what he said is, I understand who Christ is. I understand. And all they had then was the
Old Testament. And he said, I understand who
Christ is. I understand who God is. I understand
who, what he came to do. I understand what I am. I understand
what Christ had to come. I understand what his death accomplished.
I understand everything that God purposed to do for me in
Christ to fill the foundation of the world and did it in time
through his blessed son. He said, I understand that. And
so he said, I wrote unto thee very first to write unto thee
an order. I want to put this thing in order
so you can follow the order of how things happened. That thou
mightest know the certainty, the certainty of those things
wherein thou hast been instructed. Oh, God. Oh, bless His name. John 20, 31 says this. He said,
these are all written that you might believe that Jesus is the
Christ and believing on Him you might have life through His name. You know, 1 John was written,
the 1 John was written because of heresy. And the heresy was
that they denied that Jesus Christ was Was God come in the flesh? Because there was a people that
came up and said it'd be impossible for him to come in the flesh
because material, material body is nothing but sin and it cannot
manifest itself and everything material is full of sin. So Christ
could not have come in the flesh because if he'd come in the flesh
he'd have to be like we are. But to listen, that's why John
wrote, he says, you know, he that denies that Jesus Christ
is the Christ is an antichrist. But he that believeth that Jesus
is the Son of God and has come, has come, he's born of God. And I tell you, it's something
to believe that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. It's not
enough to say I believe in Jesus Christ. Why? And the scriptures ask that.
What do you believe about Him? What do you believe about Christ?
What do you believe about Him? Is He a man only? Was He just
a man? Was He just a man? Is He God
and God only? Not God and man? Did He really
come down here in flesh? Flesh? What did he do while he was here?
And oh, listen, what in the world does his death mean? Our Lord
asked that question twice. Look over with me in Matthew
22. Look in Matthew 22. Our Lord asked this question
twice. And the last time Cody was here, he preached on this. He preached out of Matthew 16.
Who do men say that I the Son of Man am? But our Lord asked
this question twice. In Matthew 22, down in verse
41. Pharisees came and asked Him
lots and lots of questions. And look what our Lord said. Matthew 22, 41. While the Pharisees
were gathered together, Jesus asked them, saying, What think
ye of Christ? What a question. What? Thank
ye of Christ. Everybody's got an opinion about
Him. You know, Cody preached that last time he was here. Who
do you say I am? Oh, you're a great prophet. You're
Jeremiah. You're Elijah. You're somebody.
I don't know exactly who you are. And Simon Peter raised up
and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. But
oh, look what he said now. Well, thank you, Christ. And
then he asked, whose son is he? That's another great question.
Whose son is Jesus Christ? Who is he? They said unto him,
why, he's the son of David. And that's true. That is true.
And look what he says now. And he asked them a question.
How then doth David, and this is Psalm 110, verse 1. He said
unto him, how then doth David, by his spirit, Call him Lord. See how that Lord, verse 44,
the Lord is capitalized there, the whole word? That's Jehovah.
Jehovah, my God, said unto my Lord, set down thy right hand
till I make thine enemies with a footstool. If David then call
him Lord, how is he his son? Same way, same way. And he is
David's son. after the fish. And oh, he asked
that question. If David calls him Lord, how
could he possibly be his son at the same time? And no man
was able to answer him. I can answer that question. I
have no problem with that question. God himself said, I'm going,
David said, I'm going to raise up a man to sit on your throne. How long is he going to sit on
it? I sat on it just for a few years. But how long's he gonna
sit on it? He's gonna sit on it forever
and ever and ever and ever. Huh? He was born king of the
Jews. David was anointed king. All
other kings were anointed. Christ was born king of the Jews. And I'll tell you, beloved, you
know, and that's why our Lord said, if you believe Moses, you're
to believe me. And I love that verse that says,
Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Well, how are they going to call on Him of whom they have not
believed? And how are they going to believe
on Him of whom they have not heard? How are you going to believe
on somebody you never hear anything about? And then how in the world are
you going to hear anything about Him unless God's got a preacher?
Everybody that was converted in the scriptures, a prophet
was sent to them, or a preacher was sent to them. That's just
the way God intended it to do. And I'll tell you, what does
the Bible tell us about the person of the Lord Jesus Christ? The
Old Testament calls our attention to Him. You know, He says, to
Him all the prophets give witness. To Him. It tells us that He's
the fulfillment of all promises. You know, look at, again, look
with me in Luke 24. Look in Luke 24. We've seen this
so many times, but it's worth looking at again. Luke 24, 44.
You know, He's the fulfillment of all the promises. God made
a multitude of promises. Made a multitude, made a promise. In Genesis 3.15, the first promise
in the Bible. Oh, promise after promise after
promise. And look what is said here in
our Lord Jesus. This is after his resurrection,
after he just got through having a meal with his apostles, with
his disciples. And he said unto them, these
are the words which I spake unto you while I was yet with you,
that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law
of Moses, in the prophets, and in the Psalms concerning me.
Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the
scriptures. And he said unto them, best it
is written. Oh, it's written all over the
Old Testament. It behooved Christ to suffer. You read Isaiah 53
and you'll see how he's to suffer. You read about Moses and how
he's to suffer. And look what he goes on to say.
That he has to die and be raised from the dead the third day.
And that repentance and remission of sins. Going to be a priest
in whose name? His. Starting and ending in Jerusalem
and going everywhere else in the world. And I tell you, all
the prophecies, all the types of the Old Testament, every lamb,
every goat, every bullock, every shed blood, every goat, everything
that was ever, ever, all bloodshed in the Old Testament pointed
to the bloodshedding of the Lord Jesus Christ. That's why he says, you know
told the Jews, he says, search the scriptures. He said, I want
you to get the Bible, you search it. And all he has to do is search
the scriptures to see whether these things are so or not, because
they testify in me. And when Peter stood on Pentecost,
you know what he started out? He started saying, I know all
of y'all say he's the son of David, but David's got a grave
over yonder. His grave's right here. We can
go to his grave. But God raised up a man and sat
on his throne. A man approved of God by wonders
and signs. And then he got cut down there
and he got the priest and God made him both Lord and Christ.
And they said, oh man, what must we do? They said, believe on
the Lord Jesus Christ. Paul, when God smote him down
on the Damascus road, the first thing he did, he went in Damascus,
and he straightway, because he knew the Old Testament, I mean
he knew it, and he straightway preached that Jesus is the Christ,
and I tell you what, they got so mad that they had to sneak
him out of there at night, and put him in a basket, and slip
him down, and let him slide away. Because they would have killed
him right off the bat. He's just as quick as God struck him down
on Damascus Road. He straightway preached that
Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. And I tell you, He is
the promised Messiah, Savior, Redeemer. Like I said, the first
promise in the Bible, after Satan had deceived our parents, had
deceived Eve, God said, I'm going to put enmity But told Satan,
I'm going to put enmity between the seed of the woman, the seed
of the woman and you. He said, he's going to crush
your head, but you're going to bruise his heel. And that's talking
about the Christ. And I tell you what, you go on
and he was the promised seed of Abraham. He was promised to
sit on David's throne, David's son. And I'll tell you, he was
promised to be born of a virgin. Now look in Isaiah 7. I don't
know how many of you all remember this or not, but in Isaiah 7,
look what it says over here. This is one of those promises,
and this is one of those things that people stumble at. You know,
there's people that worship Mary as the mother of God, instead
of Christ who was God in the flesh. Yeah, but look what he
said here in verse 14. Therefore the Lord himself shall
give you a sign. Behold, a virgin shall conceive. How in the world is a virgin
going to conceive? And bear a son, and shall call
his name Immanuel. Do you know what Immanuel means?
being interpreted, God is with us. That's what that means. And then Gabriel came, and when
it was time, in the fullness of time, God sent forth his son,
made him a woman, he come to Mary and said, Gabriel come to
her and said, woman, you're gonna be a child. How in the world
can that be? I've never been with a man. He said, that holy
thing that's gonna be in you is gonna be conceived of the
Holy Ghost. Oh my. And I tell you, if they
say, well it was a young woman, the scripture don't say it was
a young woman, it said it was a virgin. Huh? Oh my. He's gonna be a law light to
the Gentiles, to be a law giver to Shiloh. I want you to see
this with me in Isaiah 42. You know it says a law giver
shall not depart until he that cometh. But here it says, you
know, shall not depart before his feet. So look at Isaiah 42,
talking about Christ in the covenants. I mean, the Old Testament, you
know that's what we're talking about. That's all they had then,
was the Old Testament. Look here in Isaiah 42 in verse
five. Thus saith the Lord, he that
created the heavens and stretched them out. He that spread forth
the earth and that which cometh out of it. He that giveth breath
unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein.
They just got through saying about that, this is my father's
world. And then look what he says. And I, the Lord, have called
thee in righteousness, and will hold thy hand, and will keep
thee, and listen to this, giving thee for a covenant to the people,
of the people, for a light of the Gentiles. Well, what are
you going to do when you come? To open the blind eyes, to bring
out the prisoners from prison, and them that sit in darkness. and out of the prison house.
He said, that's what I'm going to do. That's what God said he'd
do. And we're all witnesses of the
fact that he did that very thing for every one of us. Huh? Oh
my. He was called to be a governor.
He's called the angel of the covenant that would come suddenly
to his temple. And you know that was, you know
the names that was given to him? Just Isaiah alone gave him five
names. Not counting the lamb, not counting
the sacrifice, not counting the Messiah. But he gave him five
names. Unto us is born a son. Unto us
is born a child. Unto us a son is given. First
thing you're going to call him is wonderful. Oh, he is wonderful. Wonderful in who he is. Wonderful
in who he saves. Wonderful in his death. Wonderful
in his coming. Wonderful in his gospel. Wonderful
in his blood. Wonderful in his righteousness.
Wonderful in his justification. Wonderful in forgiven sins. Oh,
he's wonderful. And then he said, not only is
he wonderful, but he's the mighty God. He's mighty God, the one I just
read about. They just said He stretched out
the heavens, and He spread out the earth, and everything that
comes up out of the earth, and everybody that walks on the earth,
He gives them the earth. The mighty God. And then He says
this, He's the everlasting Father. How can He be the Father and
the Son? Because He's everlasting to Him and the Father are one. The Father's everlasting, the
Son's everlasting. He's the everlasting God. And then it says He's the Prince
of Peace! Huh? And the Prince of Peace. everlasting Father, the Prince
of Peace. Everything we need was in His
blessed Son. Oh my, the prophet spoke of His
coming as through a virgin, called to be a covenant, called to be
the lawgiver from Shiloh and all the people gathered around
to Him. The names that was given to Him and He was a King. He was a King. They said, come
see, let's go. He said, you know, they said,
it's alright. He said, let's go see Him that's
born King of the Jews. King of the Jews. And He was
a conqueror, almighty conqueror. He conquered, the greatest thing
He conquered while He was in this world was sin. Sin. It's nothing for Him to conquer
death. Because life is in Him. All power
is in Him. But for Him to conquer sin. Conquer sin. He was a conqueror.
You know, He was wounded for our transgression. Bruised for
our iniquity. And God laid stripes on Him for
our peace. He was led as a lamb to the slaughter. and as a sheep before his shears
he was dumb and he didn't open his mouth and I'll tell you he
conquered and yet it says this that he was turned around and
though he conquered everything he was a king he was despised
and rejected of men and hated with a passion and then it told
us that he would die he would die but he wasn't going to die
for himself You know, this is one of the
greatest, greatest mysteries. That Christ stood as a Lamb before
the foundation of the world. And you know why He had to stand
as a Lamb slain from the foundation of the world? So God could, in
His sovereign mercy and His eternal purpose, choose out a people.
And that's why it says there in Acts 10, it says, He really,
we are witnesses, He comes to not all people, but only His
people. And God said, I'm going to give
you a people that no man can number. A 10,000 times 10,000
thousands and thousands. I'm going to give them to you.
But you're going to have to go in time. You're going to stand
as a lamb slain so I can view them people in you. That's already
dead. Putting away their sin. And in
time, He came here. and blessed his holy name, they
took him, Peter said like this, they took him and slew him and
hanged him on a tree. But you know what? God said,
I'm not gonna leave you dead. Why ain't you gonna leave you
dead? Because you satisfied me in every way. Sin is gone! How do we know? I'm gonna raise
you from the dead. And you're going to walk on this
earth for 40 days and 40 nights and you're only going to appear
to your people and your people alone. And you know who he appears to
now? His people and his people alone. And if he ever appears
to you, I've got news for you. You'll do like everybody else
did. Say, oh they were so glad to see him. Oh my, God raised him from the
dead. And that's why we're preaching
him. Oh my. And then he as a king, when he
come into Jerusalem, you think a king, a king, when you come
into Jerusalem, he thought he'd come in as a great conqueror
that he was. as the mightiest, greatest, glorious
king that ever lived. The king of kings and lord of
lords. But you know how he entered into Jerusalem? As a king. Riding
on a coat. The full of an ass. Boy, that's
a wonderful way for a king to come into town, ain't it? Huh? You know why? Because he made
himself of no reputation. Said he came meek and lowly.
Riding on the coal. And they said, how in the world?
How in the world? He cannot possibly be the king. Riding on a little old donkey.
Can't possibly be. Huh? And oh my. And then he is sold for 30 pieces
of silver. Sold for 30 pieces of silver.
What will you give me for him? I'll give you 30 pieces of silver. Well, how you gonna know it's
him? Well, we'll go out there and the one that I kiss, that's
the one you get. And oh, Judas come up there and
seen him and all them people got him, kissed him on his cheek
and said, they got him, they got him. But here's what he said,
he said, if you get me, all these others got to go free. I love that. If you got me, everybody
else got to go. You can't have me and all them
at the same time. And I'm telling you what the
Old Testament said to him, all the prophets get witness. And
they told him, they said he's price in Zechariah. And then it told us what they
would do while he was on that cross. That they would cast lots
for his garments. They told us everything that
he would say while he was on that cross. Every utterance. He made seven utterances from
the cross. And the scriptures tells us every
single utterance he made. The first one was, Father forgive
them, they know not what they do. And then he cried out, my God,
the last words on the cross, other than Father into thy hands
I commit my spirit, the last cry from the cross. When it got
dark and the light come back on, he said, my God, my God,
why hast thou forsaken me? All that has come from the Old
Testament. And the scriptures tell us in
Isaiah 63 that he tread the wide press alone by himself. By himself. And then the scripture
says they shall look upon him, upon me, whom they had pierced.
All these things. Oh, he says to him all the prophets
give witness. He was to be that prophet. that
Moses spoke of. He's supposed to be a priest
forever, like the order of Melchizedek. And he is the only one who can
and did reconcile us to God by his blood. We were enemies of
God. God was our enemy. But when Christ
shed his blood, he brought God and man together, and he brought
them together perfectly. Righteous and peace have kissed
each other. Mercy and truth met together.
We're at the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Oh my. He says, no man can come unto
the Father but by name. And I tell you, every time we
go to God, we come through Him. And I'll tell you something else
about the Old Testament Scriptures told us about Him. He holds all
things in His hand. He's got all power in heaven
and earth and all authority in heaven and earth. You know how
we know He had all authority in heaven and earth? Because
when He was that Lamb slain and He walked up to God with that
book sealed with seven seals on the back side and on the side
and on the front side and the back side, He said He was the
only one worthy to take that book. The book of God's predestinating
purpose, the purpose of God Almighty and the will of God for all eternity
was in that book. And Christ was the only one worthy
to take that book and to open it up. Oh my. And you know it says He must
reign. He's at the right hand of God right now. He must reign
till the last enemy is destroyed. You know when the last enemy
is going to be destroyed? Death. All of the world's people that's
in a grave right now, that's already went back to dust, and
I mean they're dust, I mean they've been blown through the wind.
Every single one of them. When Christ conquers death, that's
the last enemy to be destroyed when He comes again. And you
know what He says? He says the dead in Christ will
rise first. Dead in Christ. Those people
in the ground. at dust, wherever it's at, all
the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then, we to which we are
alive and remain, they're going up, we'll be caught up together
with them, and we'll meet the Lord in the air, and you know
what else it says? So shall we ever be with the
Lord. And then he says, comfort one
another with those words. Oh my, he's put all things under
his feet. The scripture said, and I'll
close with this, Jesus Christ the same today, yesterday, and
forever. He's the Lord of history, he's
the Lord of glory, he's the Lord of history, he's the Lord of
the present, and he's the Lord of the future. And he's the one who's the judge. You know the one that died for
us and made us acceptable is the judge we're going to face?
You reckon we'll make it? Oh, I tell you, it just, well,
I'd like to told you, I just, I just hit the hospital. And I didn't even come that close
to the hem of His garment. That's how glorious He is. That's
how glorious He is. Our Father, oh our blessed, glorious
God. How glorious and mighty and majestic
and august You are. Oh Lord Jesus. Oh, there's so much to say about
you, so much to worship you over. And Lord, we're thankful that
you revealed yourself to us, made us have some understanding
of who you are, of your blessed death and what it accomplished.
And Lord, we stand here, as I've said, perfect, complete, righteous
in your sight right now, as perfect and righteous as we'll ever be. God bless these dear saints.
Bless the gospel to the heart and the understanding. We ask
these things in our Lord Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. Let's turn
to hymn number one in the hymn book. Hymn number one. Hymn number one. Worship the
King. All right, let's stand together. Oh, worship the King! All praise shall be. And faithfully serve. ? His power and his love are
filled and defended ? ? The ancient of days, pavilioned in splendor
? ? And girded with praise ? ? O tell of his might ? Who'll sing of
His grace, Whose robe is the light, Whose canopy's space,
His chariots of red, The deep thunderclouds fold, And dark
is His path on the wings of the storm. Liability photo, what
time can we shine? It breathes in the air, and it
shines in the light. Screams from the hills, it descends
to the plain, and sweetly bestills in the dew and the rain. Farewell, children of God. In thee do we trust, nor find
thee to fail. Thy mercies, how tender, how
firm to the end. Our maker, defender, redeemer,
and friend. See you tonight, six o'clock,
God willing.
