Continue in our Lord Jesus' word
from the cross. Look in verse 28. After this, after this, you always got to
go back and see what happened. After this, Jesus, knowing that
all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled,
saith, I thirst. I thirst. Two words in the Greek, I understand
it's one word, but in our language it's two words, I thirst. Every
word that our Lord Jesus uttered on the cross, God seeing that
it was recorded, then preserved by the Holy Spirit of God. John
said, you know the man who wrote John's Gospel, he said, I suppose
if all the sayings that Jesus had said had been recorded, I
suppose that all the books in the world couldn't contain them.
But here God was pleased to record every word that he said on the
cross. As the scripture says, not a bone of his shall not be
broken. So not a word of our Lord Jesus
Christ shall ever be lost. The Holy Spirit comes to reveal
the Lord Jesus Christ, that's his purpose in this world, to
reveal Christ to us, to take the things of Christ and show
them to us, and to keep us. The Holy Spirit takes the word
of Christ or the place of Christ in this world. Revealing Christ
to us, dwelling in us, keeping us, sealing us. But as the Holy
Spirit comes to reveal the Lord Jesus Christ, here He reveals
Him as He speaks on the cross. And He always reveals, and here
He's pleased to reveal to us the last words of our Lord Jesus
Christ. There's seven of them, seven
of them. And remember, these are the last
words of a dying man, the last words of a dying Savior, of our
dying Savior. No wonder the scripture says
when they come to get him, never man spake like this man. Even
when he is on the cross, never man spake like this man. And
our Lord being in great, great pain and suffering, his last
words, His last words prove to us and everybody that can understand
what's going on here that he was fully, fully possessed of
himself. That he was fully possessed of
himself. He understood everything that
was going on. He knew what he was supposed
to say, when he was supposed to say it. Everything that he
uttered on the cross had already been prophesied of, already been
spoken of. And that's what he said after
this, Jesus knowing that all things, all things in the scriptures
were accomplished, are now accomplished, he said, I thirst. So our Lord
is completely self-possessed here, and he's true. He's true to his forgiven spirit.
Oh, our Lord Jesus, how forgiving he is, how precious he is. He is true to his kingly office. He told that thief, when that
thief says, you know, when you come to your kingdom, remember
me. He is true to his kingly office. He is true to all of
his earthly relationships for his mother and his disciples.
He is true to his God. He is faithful to God, even unto
death. Obedient, the scriptures tells
us, unto death. He was obedient unto death. He is true to his love for the
written word of God. Everything he uttered on that
cross came from the scriptures. Everything. And he was true to his glorious
work. I mean our Lord had a work to
do and he is true to that work. He labored at that work. And
he sees that he's going to fulfill that work. And then he was true
to his faith, the faith in his Father. Now let me say something
about that. The Lord Jesus trusted his Father. Trusted his Father. He said,
Father, he said, you gave these to me, I want you to keep them
now. He said, Father, I know now that you always hear me.
And I said, the words that I speak, they're not mine, but the words
of him that sent me. Now, we have to have perfect
faith. Our faith has to be perfect.
Everything we offer to God, come to God with, has to be perfect. Anybody hear about perfect faith
today? I'll tell you somebody that did.
The Lord Jesus Christ. And we are justified by the faith
of Him. His faith was perfect. If we're
in Him, we're perfect. That's what it means to be complete
in Christ. So I'll tell you, He believed
He's God. And He believed God enough to make all of our faith
be just like His, acceptable. But yet, at the same time, we
turn around and say, Lord, I believe, but help thou my unbelief. Now, that was seven blessed sayings
of our Savior. This one here is the fifth one.
This is the fifth one. Remember, the first one was Father,
forgive them. This is our faith. This is our
faith. Free forgiveness. Free forgiveness. Don't have to pay for it. Don't
have to buy it. Don't have to earn it. It comes
freely. And it comes as our Savior pleads for us and asks, Lord,
Father, forgive them. They know not what they do. And
then he told that thief, the second saying was, today, today
shalt thou be with me in paradise. You talkin' about faith for us. Here's the safety of us as God's
elect, God's, and the believer. In the hour he departs from this
world, he enters into where he is. That thief said, our Lord
said, today you're gonna be with me in paradise. The day we leave
here, we're going to paradise where he is. And wherever he's
at, it's paradise. Wherever he's at, it's heaven.
And that's why we want to go. I don't want to go because of
streets of gold, gates of pearl. I want to go to be where Christ
is. I want to be with Him. That's
who I want to be with. I want to be with Him. And oh,
I tell you, the hour we depart, that's where we're going. I mean,
the minute you close your eyes, turn your light back, you're
gone. Oh, what a blessed hope. Oh my. And then I tell you, he
showed his love and respect for his mother when he said, woman
behold your son. Here shows us his true humanity
at the very end. He recognized his relationship
to his mother, to Mary. And I tell you something, you
look with me, you keep this and look with me over in Matthew
chapter 12. I want to show you something. You know, He called
her a woman and He took care of her. But
look what He says about us in Matthew chapter 12. He calls us mother, brother,
sister. Look here in Matthew 12, verse
46. And while He yet talked to the
people, Behold, his mother and his brothers stood without desiring
to speak with him. Then said one unto him, Behold,
our mother and our brothers stand without desiring to speak with
thee. But he answered and said unto him that told him, who is
my mother? Who are my brethren? Then he
stretched forth his hand toward his disciples and said, behold
my mother, behold my brethren, for whosoever do the will of
my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother and sister
and mother. That's about it. You can't get
a closer relationship than that, can you? Huh? Oh my. So I tell you, and then he says,
my God, the fourth cry is my God, my God, why hast thou forsaken
me? That's the cry of a substitute.
That's the cry of our substitute. That's the cry of a man who was
on there bearing our sins in his own body on that tree. There
was the man who God made to be sin, who knew no sin. There he
hung, and he was forsaken of God, forsaken of God because
God cannot, he's a pure eyes in the bold evil. And so he was
forsaken of God, so we were made acceptable in the beloved. That's
a wonderful thing, isn't it? Wonderful thing. And then here's
the fifth one, the one we're gonna deal with today. He says,
I thirst. I thirst. This is the shortest
one. This is the shortest saying that
our Savior had on the cross. And let me tell you something.
You remember what I read just a minute ago? He measures the
waters in the hall of his hand. So why would he say I thirst?
Why would he say, I thirst? I'll tell you why, to show us
that he's truly a man. He's really a man. This is our Lord in his humanity.
This is a man crying out, I thirst. He made the ocean. He made the
seas. He walked on the water. He sends the water out of the
clouds. He sends rain upon the just and
the unjust, on the evil and on the good. The rivers that start
running, every water that comes into this world, He's the author
of it, the finisher of it. And I'll tell you again, and
He says, here I thirst. This tells us that He really
truly took upon Himself the form of a servant. He was really made
in the likeness of sinful flesh. And he cried, I thirst, I thirst,
I thirst. He is truly, truly a man. Bone of our bone and flesh of
our flesh. He suffered as a man. You remember
our Lord Jesus said, you know, that he took our infirmities
upon himself? I tell you, he took all the things
that was wrong with us, he took it upon himself. All of everything
that we have, He took upon Himself, bearing our infirmities. Angels
don't thirst. God cannot thirst. But man thirsts. And our Lord
Jesus Christ here is a man. Man thirsts. This happens to
all of us. Happens to all men. I get up
in the morning, I drink a whole bottle of water. whole bottle
every morning. But listen to what our Lord did.
They come and got him in the garden. And while he was in that
garden, he began to sweat. Oh how he sweated. He sweated
so much that blood come out of his body and dripped on the ground. Then they carried him from the
garden and put him in there and put him on trial. And then they sent him to Herod
and then sent him to Pilate and Pilate sent him back to Herod.
And while all that was going on, he was being beaten. He was
being flogged. He was being mistreated in the
awfulest, awfulest condition. So his body is in agony. He ain't
had a drop of water. He ain't had nobody say one kind
word to him. Nobody had showed any mercy,
any kindness, nothing to show our Lord Jesus Christ any kind
of pity or mercy or anything. And now he's in agony. Nobody said, somebody give him
some water. Didn't do it. Had not been offered
water. Now he says, I thirst. Let me show you something. Look
over in Psalm 22 and verse 15. Look at this. This is what the
scripture, this is the shape he's in. Psalm 22, verse 15. Oh my. And the thirst that he
have here is the thirst of death. He is so thirsty it's gonna take
him to death. So thirsty he can't bear it.
Look what he says here in verse 15. My strength is dried up like
a parchment, and my tongue cleaveth to my jaw. That's how swelled
up it was, cleaved to his jaws. And thou hast brought me where
we're all going to go, into the dust of death. His tongue was swelled up in
his mouth. Some of you, you know, your mouth
gets so dry sometimes you can't hardly bear it. Can you imagine
how dry he was? He says, I thirst. He was indeed,
Emmanuel, God with us, even while he was on that cross. Oh, how
he condescended to this. And let's not forget the distance
of our Lord of glory there on his throne. and Him crucified
here. And this one that's been crying
out, who crucified Him, crucified Him. Nobody offered Him a cold
cup of water. Look in Revelations 22, 21. He
went through this that we, this is what we got to look forward
to because He went through this. No, Revelations 22, what did
I say? Did I say Revelation 22? I thought
I said. Look what it says here now. And he showed me a pure river
of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne
of God and out of the Lamb. And here he says, I thirst if
we're going to sit by a river of life coming right out of that
throat. He is the one that set up the
woman at the well and told that woman, give me the drink. She said, you're a Jew and I'm
a Samaritan. We don't have nothing to do with
one another. He said, I'll tell you this much. If you knew who
I was, you would ask me. and I'd have gave you a drink.
He is the one that told every one of them at the great day
of the feast, if any man's thirsty, let him come unto me. And now
here he says, I thirst. I thirst. Oh, they never offered
him a drop of water, not even a drop. And where he says, I
thirst, it shows us again he suffered. as our substitute. Thank God for substitution. Thank
God for substitution. When John said, Behold the Lamb
of God. Why he said that? Because I tell
you, remember, our Lord said, Before Abraham was, I am. When
him and Abraham, Isaac and Abraham went up that mountain, they had
the wood, they had the fire, and they had a knife. He was going up that mountain
to have a sacrifice. To offer a sacrifice to God.
To offer blood to God. To offer a blood that would satisfy
His justice. That it would be a sweet smell
and savor to Him. Isaac said to his father, he
said, Father we got everything we need when we get up there,
but where in the world is the lamb when we get there? Who's
going to be the offering? Who's going to be the sacrifice? They got up top of that mountain.
He put his son Isaac. Isaac was probably 12, 13 years
old. He wasn't 18, 19, 20. He was
just a boy. And he put him on that altar.
Laid that wood under it. Had the knife thrown back to
slit his throat, because God said, offer me thy son, thy only
son. You know why God did that? I
want you to know what I offered. Because Abraham said to his son,
behold, God will provide himself a lamb. And when he got on that
mountain, there was a ram. caught in a thicket. And it says
that he was taken and put in the stead of Isaac. Christ was taken. Here's God's
lamb. God said I'll provide myself
a lamb. You know what the lamb that he
provided? Himself. In the person of his blessed
son. He sent him here for one purpose,
and that was to be offered as the lamb in our place. You come off that altar, I'm
going there. You come off that place and I'll
be put there. Take me up, take them up, and
put me in their place. Oh, Father says they got so much
sin, now who can bear it? Christ said, I can! Who can bear the thirst and the
multitude that no man can number and the only one that can give
them water and life? He said, I can. who can suffer till all the blood
and all the water is out of his body till he can't even speak
barely, this is a whisper almost that he says here. I thirst. I thirst. Our Lord, he had to suffer the
penalty of sin for the ungodly and he had to suffer in his body. The things we suffer here, he
took our infirmities, tempted in all points like as we are
yet without sin. Tell you something about us,
we have thirsted in a very, very wicked way. You know, people
are thirsty for power, Thirsty for sin. Thirsty for the pleasures
of this life. Thirsty to be recognized. Thirst to be somebody. Thirst
to have people say good things about them. Thirst for money. Thirst for big houses. Thirst, thirst, thirst for everything
but God, everything but Christ. Thirst for everything but Christ. Thirst for the appetites of this
flesh. Oh, my flesh wants this. I thirst for it. I've got to
have it. I've just got to have it. Our first parents, they thirsted. What for? To be like God? You'll be like God? You eat that fruit, you'll be
like God? Huh? Oh my. They thirst to rob God
of His glory. Men thirst for everything but right and
true things. And you know I'm telling the
truth. Huh? Thirst. Thirst. Boy, if I could just get my hands
on that there, I wouldn't want anything else until something
else comes along. Oh, if I could just get that.
Thirst, thirst, thirst, thirst. And let me show you something.
Men who die thirsting after sin, You know what happens to them?
Look in Luke. Look in Luke 16. You know what happens to them? Men who dies thirsting after
sin. Men who ignore God, ignore Christ,
ignore the gospel. You know what happens to them? Look what it said here in verse
23. Of course you know the story about the rich man and Lazarus. And this is that rich man now. He's in hell, and in hell, he
lifted up his eyes. This being in torments. And saith
Abraham, afar off. Abraham represents those who
are believers. And Lazarus in his bosom. And
he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me. and sin Lazarus, that he may
dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue. He wanted water. He wanted water. He said, for I'm tormented, listen
to this, in this flame. But now listen, but Abraham said,
son, Remember that thou in thy lifetime, in thy lifetime, while
you lived, you had everything that you wanted. You received
everything that was good. And Lazarus, his whole life was
just nothing but a life of trials and poverty and struggles. Now
he's comforted in your torment. And then look what he says. And
beside all this, between us and you, There is a great gulf fixed. You can't come here and they
can't come there. And I tell you what, this great
gulf fixed between heaven and hell, Christ spanned that gulf. I may know what it is to be tormented
in this world. I may. I haven't yet. I haven't
yet. I haven't yet, and I'm thankful
for it. I've went through a lot of things
as you have, but I've never known what it is to be tormented. But there's a great goal fixed.
You know, there's that old song, you know, there's a, I'm building
a bridge across the divide. I'm building it strong and I'm
building it wide. Oh no, no, no. Christ spanned
that goal for us. He spent that great gulf for
us, and I tell you what, we ain't never gonna go where they are,
and they certainly can't come where we are. Once you leave
this world, that's the way you gonna be. And notice something
about that rich man. He never said, I'm sorry. He
never said, forgive me. He never said, please bring me
out of here. Please give me another chance.
He knew where he was at and what he had coming to him. And he
never said one time, let me out of here. You know what, that
fella's still down there, still thirsting, still wanting just
a drop of water on his tongue. And then our Lord turns around
and says, I thirst. And nobody offered him any water.
Let me tell you another thing about our Lord saying here, I
thirst. It shows man's awful, awful,
awful treatment of his Lord. And what I say of his Lord, because
he is Lord over everybody on this earth, everything on this
earth, he's Lord. You know, we hear much, much
about man and how powerful he is, how mighty he is, how noble
he is. how great he is, how powerful
he is, how intelligent he is. They call, people call themselves
progressives. Who are they progressing at?
Who are they progressing to? I'm not progressing anywhere.
I'm not making any headway. Progressing, progressing in sin,
yes? Progressing in rebellion, yes.
Progressing in hatred for God, yes. Progressing in man's ability
to save himself, yes. Progressing in a lot of ways,
but they're not progressing at all. Man's gonna find out one of these
days when he said, I'll not have this man reign over me. He's
the very one that's gonna reign over him. They said, oh, this
man ain't gonna reign over me. You wait and see. You wait and
see. Every man ever, the scripture
says every tongue's gonna confess, and every knee's gonna bow, and
every single soul that's ever been on this earth is gonna confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God. That's gonna
happen. I'm not gonna have him reign
over me. Oh, yes you are. Whether you know it or not, he
already does it. He reigns over life. He reigns
over death. He reigns over the grave. He
reigns over the resurrection. He reigns over every breath you
take. He reigns over every heartbeat
you beat. He reigns over every time you
bat your eye. He reigns over your eyelashes
falling out. There's not a thing in this world
that Christ doesn't reign over. So go ahead and say, I'm not
having this man reign over me. Hold on, just hold on. I'll tell you what, that's what
I'm looking forward to. One of these days, we'll be in
glory and we'll shout as God's sending men to hell, we'll shout
hallelujah, Lord God, omnipotent reigner and salvation belongs
unto the Lord. Huh? Oh my. Man wants to think he's
something, but the only place that truly, truly describes him
as he is, not like he thinks he is, not like he hopes he is,
not like he believes he is, but the Bible, the Word of God is
the only one that describes man as he really, really is. Born
a rebel, live a rebel, and die a rebel if God don't save him.
Huh? Oh, Lord. We sung that song,
Have Thine Own Way, Lord. Have Thine Own Way. Hold all
my being, absolute sway. You're the potter on the clay.
Mow me and make me after Thy will. Oh, that's the heart's
cry of every one of us here this morning. I heard Henry Mahan,
way in his, way up in his years, and he said, Father, Whatever
you need to do to use me and make me submissive to you, you
break me, break me just like you'd break, just break me down,
break me down, break me down till I've got no way in the world
to go but to you. I want to be used of you. God
will not use a man till he breaks him, breaks him. Go get that
young colt over there. Who am I going to say told me
to get him? Say the Lord has need of him. Colt never been
broken, but when Christ says bring him to me, he's brought,
he's broken. Huh? Oh Lord have mercy on him. And when our Lord said I thirst,
look what it says there in verse 28. When our Lord said I thirst,
here's one thirst he had. After this, Jesus, knowing that
all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled. He thirsted to fulfill all the
word of God. Thirsted to fulfill the scriptures. To him, all the prophets give
witness. And I tell you, he is walking
with those disciples on the mass road. And he opened the scriptures
to their understanding. He spake of all the things in
Moses, the Psalms, and the Prophets concerning himself. Huh? Oh, he said, I got to fulfill
the scriptures. Got to fulfill the scriptures.
Whatever the scripture says about me, I've got to do it. Got to
do it. Got to do it. I have to be, have
the crest, the hill, the serpent, so I have to be crucified. Tell you another thing that he
did that he thirsted to do when he says I thirst. He thirsted
to honor and glorify his God, his Father. Oh my, look in the John 8 49
with me. Look in John 8 49. You know, I say this all the time, and
I don't know how honest I am about it, but I say, you know,
it's our first and foremost reason for preaching is to the glory
of God, whether anybody's ever saved or not. But our Lord, when
he said it, he really meant it. Jesus answered them and said,
I have not a devil, where they told him, you're Samaritan, have
a devil. But he said, I honor my father, and you do dishonor
me. And I seek not mine own glory,
but there is one that seeketh and judges, that's God himself. He said, I came down from heaven,
not to do my will, but the will of him that sent me. He said, Father, I finished the
work. Glorify me now. Glorify me. But our Lord Jesus Christ. You
want to see God? You won't see God if you won't
see God. The only place you're going to see Him is in the Lord
Jesus Christ. You ain't going to see Him nowhere else. You
want to see Him as God? Just listen to what He has to
say. You want to see Him as God? Just watch what He does. You
want to see Him as God? Watch how He walks. You want
to see Him as God? Just follow Him around. Listen
to everything He says. He'll give you eyes to see and
you'll see God. You'll see God. So He came. He thirsted to honor and glorify
His God and His Father. He even said, Father, I know
You always hear me. I know You always hear me. But
I reason I'm praying now, not for my sake, but to everybody
around me. Tell you another thing he thirsted
to do, to finish the work that was given him. God gave him a
work. He said, Father, I finished the
work. I must work while it's yet day,
for night's coming, no man can work. to finish the work given him.
What was the work given to our Lord Jesus Christ? What was the
work given to him? Well, first thing it was when
he came in here was to fulfill God's law every jot and every
tittle of it. Every jot and every tittle in
every single way. I mean, our Lord, and when you
look at the Sermon on the Mount, especially you get there in six
and seven, he said, you have heard it said by them of old
time, but I say unto you, I say unto you, and everything that
they said concerning the law, he said, this is what it really
means. And the law was fulfilled in two words, love. One lawyer said to him, said,
what is the great commandment in the law? What should we do? What are we going to do? And
our Lord says in his written, love the Lord thy God with all
your heart, mind, body, soul, and love your neighbor as yourself. Love your neighbor as yourself.
Love what fulfills the law. Being obedient to Ten Commandments,
that's not fulfilling the law. And there's people that I tell
you, it's pitiful, it's pitiful. There was a woman here one night,
and I mentioned, oh, you know, have you ever kept the Ten Commandments?
She raised her hand and said, yes. I said, oh no, you're sadly mistaken.
I've not kept one commandment. I haven't, especially haven't
kept that commandment called love. And that's the greatest one of
all. Love God? How are we going to
love God? Do we love Him as He ought to
be loved? Do we love Him as He's worthy
to be loved? No. But as our Lord Jesus said,
I know, I know all things. He said, love your neighbor as
yourself. There's only one person that
ever did that. And that was the Lord Jesus Christ. And you know
why we come to Him? Because He did it all. All to Him I owe. God said, honor
your father and your mother. I did in Christ. Don't commit no adultery. I have
it in Christ. Don't lie. I have it in Christ.
All those things I've done in myself and in my flesh. But those
are the reasons I have to come to Christ. Don't show me no ten
commandments. Show me love, that's what our
master says. Show me love, that's what I want
to see. He said this is the great commandment.
This is the commandment I give to everybody. This is the new
commandment I give unto you. That you love one another even
as I have loved you. By this shall all men know you
my disciples have. You'll have love one toward another.
Oh, he fulfilled the law. And then here's the thing. He
fulfilled it, he honored it. And then he bore its curse. Curse
it is everyone that continueth not in all things written in
the book to do it. Now why did he bear that curse? Because we didn't bear the curse. He bore the curse of everything
in that law that you and I didn't do. Cursed is He that continueth
not in all things. And our Lord bore all that curse. And it says in Galatians 3.13
that He bore the curse for us. for the curse of the law that
he might redeem us, listen to this, from the curse of the law. You think I'm afraid of the law?
No. There's just the one who fulfilled
it for me. What do you do about the law? I don't know how many of these
reformed people say that all the time. How do you fulfill the law? How
do you deal about keeping the law? I don't. I got one who already did it
for me. Now does that mean I'm going to go out here and act
like a lawless rebel? No, no. Love, love, love fulfilleth
the law. And I tell you to finish the
work, he had to satisfy God, had to honor God. had to meet
all of God's righteous demands to satisfy his justice. And God
saw the travail of his soul. You know what he said? I'm satisfied. God being a just God, he cannot
punish Christ and come back and get me for the same thing he
punished Christ for. That's a just God. And then let
me close with this. He thirsted, he thirsted, said,
I thirst to save his people from their sin. That's what he done
the work for. The scripture says that he came,
thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people
from their sin. Three things it said about him.
He came to seek. He came looking. He comes seeking. You reckon he can find what he's
looking for? He comes seeking. What's he looking
for? Lost people. Sheep. He's looking for sheep. And we're looking for the same
thing. I'm looking for sheep. I'm preaching hopefully to sheep.
And one of these days, a sheep will hear His voice. And when
they hear His voice, they'll follow Him. He come to seek. He come to seek. Ain't you grateful
He comes seeking? I wasn't seeking him, said you
seek the Lord? No, no, he sought me. But once
he sought me, I have never stopped seeking him. If he ever finds
you and seeks you and finds you, you're gonna always be seeking
him from then on. Then not only did he come to
seek, but he came to save. I sure wouldn't like to save
you if you wouldn't let me. No, he came to save. You know
why they call Him a Savior? Because He saves. He's not a
wannabe Savior, pretend to be Savior. He came to save. And who He came to save, He saves. Huh? And listen to this. And then He came to give eternal
life. To give eternal life. To give
it. He said, Father, I give eternal
life to as many as thou hast given me. Eternal life. When
you get it, I got it. I'm not going to get it, I already
got it. Huh? We got it right now, don't
we, James? We got eternal life right now. Right now. Ain't you grateful
that our Lord Jesus said, I thirst. I thirst. I thank God for everything
he uttered on that cross. Because every one of them has
something to say to us, especially to us, don't they? Our Father, the precious name
of our Lord Jesus Christ, we bow our hearts before you. Thanking
you for your great mercy. We're with you. Loved us. Called us by your precious grace. Reveal Christ to us and reveal
Christ in us. Thank you for letting us meet
this morning. Thank you for your precious word. Oh Lord, your
word. What powers in it? What powers
in your word? How precious is the word that
comes to our hearts, speaks to us. Lord, thank you. And we praise
you and bless you in Christ our Lord's name. Amen. Amen. Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look
full in His wonderful face, and the things of earth will grow. And I tell you what, this world
is really dim compared to His glory and His grace. I'll see
you tonight at 6 o'clock, God willing.
