Look again here in Luke chapter
24. Y'all, I think I preached on
this a couple of weeks ago, that seven-mile walk with the Lord
Jesus Christ and the two disciples on the Emmaus Road. Well, they
had turned around and went home, back to Jerusalem the same night. And they got with the Lord's
disciples. And this is the day that the
Lord had risen from the dead, same day, same time. Those fellows
got all the way back to Jerusalem, and as they were gathered together,
look what is said here in verse 36. And as they thus spake, Jesus
himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace
be unto you. You know the only person that
we can say that is what He always was and will always be what He
was and what He is forever and that's the Lord Jesus Christ.
That's the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. He said He is the same
today, yesterday and forever. And what He was to His disciples
in the days of His flesh, that's what He is to His people now.
That's what He is to His people now. What He, how He was with
His people while He was here on this earth, that's what He
is to us now. What He is to us now. And when
His people were assembled here on the Lord's day, why they call
it the Lord's day is the day of His resurrection. The Lord's
day. It's still the same day, started
a little before daylight, that Sunday morning. And here it is,
late in the day, late in the day. And his people were assembled. And when they were assembled
on the Lord's day, here on this particular day, he loved to reveal
himself to them. And that's why we gather together.
That's why the Lord said, wherever two or three are gathered in my name, I'll be
in the midst. I couldn't tell you and I know
this happened to you. You get with one or two persons
and one or two people and this might be just two of you. And
you'll get talking about Christ and get talking about the things
of the Lord and next thing you know your heart gets stirred
up and it gets to burning and you get to rejoicing and you
know it don't take a whole bunch. But I tell you that's what our
Lord said and what a blessing. What a blessing that the Lord What a blessing. You know, when
our Lord Jesus Christ, when He was in the synagogue, the day
He started His public ministry, the first day, He quoted from
Isaiah, took up and read the book out of Isaiah 61, the first
three verses. And He handed the book back to
them and sat down. And wouldn't you like to have
been in that service when He opened up, took the role of Isaiah,
and said, The Spirit of the Lord hath anointed me. What did he anoint you for, to
preach the gospel? Who to? The poor? And so I tell you, if you hadn't
have been gathered in that service that day, you wouldn't have heard
what Christ said. But can you imagine, and I tell
you, they were amazed. They said, oh my, with the graciousness
of His words. Graciousness of His words. And
I tell you what, and Thomas, Thomas wasn't here this day.
Thomas wasn't here. They were gathered together,
but Thomas wasn't there. And you know what he missed?
But not being with him. And it was eight days later,
eight days later, he lived in doubt, he lived in fear, he lived
in confusion, he lived in despair. For eight days, Because he would
not believe that Christ had risen from the dead. You know what
he missed by not being with them? You know what he missed? And
I tell you what, I don't miss nothing, that's why. Ruby used to say all the time,
she said, I got to go to service, afraid I'll miss something. She said that all that many times,
didn't she? I got to go, I'm afraid I'll miss something. And
here we have our Lord Jesus Christ visiting and revealing Himself
to His disciples. Now let me tell you something,
He was uninvited, they didn't invite Him. They never begged
him. They never pleaded with him.
He was uninvited. He was unexpected. He was really
unexpected. And I do know this, even though
he was uninvited and unexpected, he certainly was undeserved for
them to meet with him. Certainly undeserved. But I tell
you what, when he got there, he was welcomed. He was welcomed. And it says
there in verse 36, and he stood, Jesus himself stood in the midst
of them. Why did he stand in the midst
of them? To be near them. He wanted to
be near them. He wanted to be with them. He
was the Lord, He was the Master, He was the Savior. And He stood
right in the middle of all of them, just stood there. You know our Lord Jesus Christ
could just appear out of nowhere and disappear. Now how could that be? Because
He's God. He's God. He could bail himself and stay
right in the middle of people and bail himself and they not
see who He is. And I tell you what, He took
the place of the Lord and the Master when He gathered among
these people. He stood right in the midst of
them. And let me give you some things about when He appeared
to them. Because I want to talk about peace be unto you. That's
the title of my message this morning. Peace be unto you. when
our Lord Jesus Christ appeared to these disciples the 11 and
those that were gathered the scripture says in verse 33 they
rose up the same hour and returned to Jerusalem found the 11 together
you know Judas was gone and them that were with them I don't know
how many was with them but I know there was a probably pretty good
group and you know when he appeared when they had acted so unworthy. They had been acting unworthy.
They acted unworthy when our Lord Jesus Christ was crucified. They acted unworthy after He
was crucified. They acted unworthy after He
was risen from the dead. You know when they took our Lord
Jesus Christ, they fled from Him. They run from him. Even
John, the beloved John. They wretched got his garment.
And oh, you imagine what is like when Judas come out there to
betray him. And whom I kiss, that's the one
to get. They deserted him at his trial. He had a trial. He had a trial
of the Sanhedrin, the high priest. He had a trial with Herod and
he had a trial with Pilate. Three trials. All three
trials. And you know the only one that
found him guilty? Was the religious people. Pilate
said let him go. Herod said let him go. But the
Jews and the religious people says no, we're not gonna do it. And I'll tell you what, so they
deserted him at his trial. When they hide false witnesses
to stand up and witness against our Lord Jesus Christ and lie
on Him. You had thought that one of them
would have stood up and said, that's not true. That's not true. I'm going to declare His generation. I'm going to tell you who this
really is. I'm going to tell you what He's done. I'm going
to tell you what He's done for me. But not one of them, not
one of them stood up. And yet he appeared to him. And I tell you what, here's Simon
Peter over here while our Lord Jesus Christ is in there with
the high priest and all that religious bunch. He's over here
and it says it's cold. It's cold. And he's over here
and they got a fire going and he's standing by that fire. Standing by that fire. And the
Lord Jesus over here being tried. But you know what? He appeared
to them. He appeared to them. Oh my! If you wait to be worthy
for Christ to appear to you, it ain't going to happen. No, it ain't going to happen.
And when they were unprepared, when did He appear to them? When
they were unprepared. When they were unbelieving. Look
what it says down in verse 37 here. Oh, they were unprepared
and unbelieving. And when our Lord said, saith
unto them, Peace be unto you, stood in the midst and said,
Peace be unto you. Look what, they were terrified.
They were frightened. And suppose that they had seen
a spirit. They doubted his promise. Look
back over here with me in Luke chapter 24 and verse 9. You know
they were unprepared and they were unbelieving. They were doubting
his promise that he would rise the third day. They even refused
to believe the witnesses and testimony of witnesses that saw
it. And this is when Mary and them
came to the tomb. And they returned from the grave,
and returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto
the eleven, and to the rest, those that were gathered together.
It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James,
and other women that were with them, which told these things
unto the apostles. Now listen to this, and their
words seemed to them as idle tales, and listen, and they believed
not. They did not believe these women
that went there to the grave and said the Lord's not there,
He's risen. He's risen. And our Lord Jesus Christ Himself
said, O fools and slow of heart, to believe all that the prophets
said concerning the Son of God, concerning the Lord Jesus Christ.
They refused the testimony of these witnesses. Look over here
at Mark. Mark. Look at Mark. Mark right before you. Mark chapter
16. I want you to look at this. Mark
16. So our Lord appeared to these
people when they were so unprepared and so unbelieving. And yet He
appeared unto them and said, Peace be unto you. Look what
it says here in verse 6. You know, here's two angels sitting
there now. And he saith unto them, he tells
everybody that's there, same people that come. He said unto
them, be not frightened, don't be afraid, you see Jesus of Nazareth. And listen to what he said, which
was crucified. Yes, he died, but he's risen.
He's not here. You can look and see where they
laid him. But go your way, you leave here
right now, and tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before
you into Galilee, there shall you see him as he said unto you.
And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulcher, for
they trembled and were amazed. Neither said they anything to
any man, for they were afraid. Now when Jesus was risen early
the first day of the week he appeared first to Mary Magdalene
Out of whom he had cast seven devils And she went and told
them that had been with him as listeners they mourned and wept And they when they heard that
that he was alive and had been seen of her What says believe
not? But yet, He appeared to them. Those that were unprepared and
unbelieving. You know why He appeared to them?
Because they desperately, desperately, desperately needed His presence.
They were like sheep without a shepherd. And our Lord Jesus
Christ is the sheep over the shepherd and He appeared to them.
And this scripture tells us when they were assembled together,
they were together. Psalm 33, they found the eleven
gathered together. Oh my, when they were assembled
together. Oh, they felt a need to be together. They felt a need to, you know,
be with one another. They felt the need. Sheep needs
to be with other sheep. They assembled themselves together.
They got together. And it says over there in one
place, they mourned and they wept. They felt the need to be
together. They felt a need to be with those
who had actually been with the Lord Jesus Christ and had been
to the tomb and had talked about His resurrection. And I wonder
what all they talked about when they were together about Christ.
I know that that's who their subject was. I know that's who
they were thinking about. I know that's who they were concerned
about. I know that's who they were dealing
with. And yet they were mourning. And yes, they were afraid of
the Jews, but they were together. They were mourned in his absence,
and they were shown by this when they all got together. Oh my! And when Satan came back to them,
testifying there in verse 32, look what it says. Oh, you remember
this. when their eyes were opened in
verse 31 and they knew him and he vanished out of their sight
ceased to be seen and they said one to another did not our heart
burn within us while he talked with us by the way and while
he opened to us the scriptures oh when he comes among us he
opens the scriptures to us He opens our understanding. He opens
the scriptures to us. And look what it says. And they
rose up the same hour and returned to Jesus, Jerusalem, and found
the eleven together, and them that were with them, saying,
The Lord is risen indeed. And listen to this. He said,
You go tell Peter that I'll go before him, and I'll meet him.
And he said, He's appeared to Simon. So evidently, one of these
men on the Emmaus road was Simon. And I'll tell you when he got
back there, he said he's appeared to Simon. The Scriptures tells us in 1
Corinthians 15 that he appeared unto the eleven, and then he
appeared to I don't know how many men, and at one time he
appeared above 500 people at one time. And I'll tell you something else,
now right now, if he don't appear to us, let's just get up and
go to the house. If He don't appear to us and
the bug come among us, let's just close the book and go home. Oh, the Lord, he's appeared to
Simon. And they told what things? They said, you know, we was walking
from Jerusalem, going home, going to Emmaus. And they told him
everything that was said and done on that seven mile walk.
They told him everything that was said and done and what he
did and the things he said to them. And they got together and
he's telling them all that. And how he said, I knowed him
just the minute he broke that bread. I knew who he was. I knew he was, because I'd been
with him before when he'd break bread. So I recognized him. And there's talking, having this
conversation, carrying on. And Jesus himself stood right
in the middle of them and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. Oh my! Lord appear to us, please
come and appear to us. Even though I'm disloyal, please
appear to us. Even though I've got unbelief,
please appear to us. After sometimes failing to assemble, please appear to us. When we
find things much more important to keep us from assembly. The
Lord appeared to us. Please come among us. Stand in
our midst Lord. And look what He said. Peace
be unto you. What does that mean? When our
Lord said peace be unto you, what's He doing? Peace be unto
you is a great blessing that was passed, was blessed to them.
That's what they would do. They would say, Peace be unto
you. To bless people. To bless people. Paul, I don't
know how many times in his letters say, Grace, mercy and peace be
unto you. I want you to look with me. It's
a benediction. It's a blessing. Look over Numbers
chapter 6. Look at Numbers chapter 6. Numbers
chapter 6. I know you all have seen this.
Numbers chapter 6. This is how God said to give
a blessing. When the Lord tells you how to give a blessing, believe
me, it will be a blessing. And Jesus, when he stood in the
midst of them, he said, Oh, peace be unto you. What a benediction,
what a blessing. Peace from the words of the Son
of God himself, from the Lord Jesus Christ, from the risen
Master. Look here in verse 24. This is
what people are supposed to, how you're supposed to bless
the children. The Lord bless thee and keep thee. The Lord make His face to shine
upon you. Let Him look on you and His face
shine on you. And be gracious unto thee. Be gracious unto you. The Lord lift up His countenance
upon thee. And listen to this. And give
thee peace. Almighty. That's a blessing. And you know
the Lord Jesus Christ has done every one of those things. You look at that blessing right
there. The Lord blessed thee. Didn't keep you. He said, Father I've kept them
and I'm not lost to one. I'll never leave you and I'll
never forsake you. No, no. Cause his face to shine on you.
Here he is right in the middle of them and they look at him
right at his face. Oh what a benediction, what a
blessing pronounced upon them. Not only was it a great blessing
when he said peace be unto them, but it was a declaration from
the word of God in the Christ himself. You know they already
knew they were at peace with God. They did, but they lost
their peace. They lost their peace. And why
did they lose their peace? Because they did not believe.
They had so much unbelief. They were together. They were
together. They were mourning. They were weeping. They were
wondering what in the world had happened. And they didn't fully
understand what it meant yet that what peace was. Huh? Look what our Master said here.
They didn't fully understand it. And they were terrified and
afraid. I'd be terrified and scared to
death too if I didn't know Christ and know that He had risen. It'd
be awful to go into eternity and not know that. But look what
He goes on to say. And He said unto them, Why are
you troubled? Why are you so troubled? Why
are you so troubled? What's got you in such a state
of mind that you're so troubled? These are men that walked with
Him three years. Seen Him raise dead people, cleanse
lepers, give sight to the blind. Here are multitudes. Take a maniac
and clothe him in his right mind and set him at his feet. Set down to eat with blasphemous
after he raised him from the dead. Why are you troubled? How firm a foundation. Well evidently
our foundation failed. It went down. When Christ died
our foundation went down with him. Oh my. Then look what he went on to
say. Why do thoughts arise in your heart? Now listen to this
now. Listen to this. Behold my hands and my feet. They got holes in them. Huh? And it's myself. He said, reach
here and get a hold of me. Touch me. Feel me. Touch me. You see me. A spirit don't have flesh
and bones as you see me have. And look what this. And when
He had thus spoken, He showed him His hands. And he looked,
he said, look at my feet. And when they looked, they saw
the evidence of His death. The evidence of how their peace
was accomplished. You know why I said peace unto
you? Because I brought peace through the blood of my cross.
I brought peace through the shedding of my blood. I brought peace
from God the Father to you. I established peace. And how did you do it? With His
hands and His feet. That's how I did it. He showed
them evidence of how their peace was obtained. And oh my, you
talking about it. It was a declaration that touched
these men. I believe it touched them. It
was a word from Christ. And when our Lord Jesus showed
them His hands and His feet, that caused them to start having
peace. And until we see Christ dying
for us, and shedding His blood for us, and His death for us,
and bringing in peace by His blood, I'll tell you what, we
can't have no peace until that's established. And I'll tell you
what, His Word comes with His presence. When He's present,
His Word comes with Him. And I'll tell you what, His presence
is what brings His Word. When He stood in their presence,
He began to preach. When He stood in their presence,
He brought peace with Him. When He stood in their presence,
He brought encouragement with Him. He brought blessings with
Him. And I tell you what, bless His
holy name. The only peace I can have in
this world and in myself and in my heart It's because of Him. And I'll be honest with you.
I'm going to tell them to be as honest as I know how. Sometimes
my peace gets disturbed. Does yours? It really gets disturbed. Sometimes I have to say, Lord,
forgive me. Lord, have mercy on me. Lord,
you don't know why I'm in such a state of mind. That, oh God, I know I'm to have peace,
but sometimes it's hard, hard to come by. Sometimes it's not
there. I want it there. I want to rest. I want to have that peace in
my heart before you. I want peace of conscience. I
want peace of mind. I want peace in my soul. And
every once in a while, it gets disturbed. Does that happen to you? Does
your peace get disturbed sometimes? And you know what happens when
our peace gets disturbed? We're troubled all the time in
this habit. That's why our Lord said, why
are you troubled? Why are you troubled? And I tell
you what, when I'm troubled, there's only one thing I can
do. I can just go to Christ. Only one I can go to. And I tell
him, I say, Lord, I'm troubled. I'm heavy. Oh, heavy. And I tell you what, not only
is it a word that brings peace and brings comfort, brings assurance,
it was also a word of forgiveness. What do you mean by that, preacher?
When I, Lord, stood in their midst and said, Peace be unto
you. And showed them His hands and His feet. You know what He
is saying? Everything you've ever done. Your denial, your betrayal, your
fleeing, your warming at the fire of the enemy. He said, all
is gone. All is forgiven. Just the very fact that I'm here
tells you it's all forgiven. It's all gone. All taken care
of. And Father, Holy Shroud of His
hands and feet said, I told you. I said, I told them, Father forgive
them. They don't know what they're doing. Solomon Peter didn't know
what he was doing. John didn't know what he was
doing. None of them knew what they were
doing. He said, all your sin, all your
offenses, all your betrayals, all those things, the things
that spoiled your peace, and the things that might spoil your
peace. He said, I forgive you. It's
done. As far as I'm concerned, you
have no offenses. You have no sin. I forgive. It's gone. It's finished. It's
over. It's done. Oh my. And I, Lord, I, Lord, by the
Holy Ghost, Listen to me. Our Lord by the
Holy Ghost can calm our perturbed minds. And our minds get perturbed. Our Lord can relieve us by the
Holy Ghost of our worries. Take our worries away. Forgive
us of all our sin. Come and save us from spiritual
conflict. and come by the Holy Ghost and
give to each and every one of us peace. Just that quick. He can do that. Sometimes he
don't, but boy he can if he will. He can if he will. Oh my. Come, we sung that song, how
firm a foundation you saints of the Lord, laid for your faith
in His excellent Word." Well, look at what happened when
he appeared. He banished their doubts. He
banished their doubts. Even Thomas' unbelief was put
away. Look over here, keep Luke 24,
look in John chapter 20. He got rid of their doubts. I'll
show you that here in a minute. John 20 and verse 24, look here
with me. Our Lord, as you know back up
there in verse 21, it says, Peace be unto you. He said that again.
but then he comes down here in Thomas verse 24 but Thomas one
of the twelve called Didymus was not with them when Jesus
came oh my this is what happens when you when you miss look what
he missed oh if it had been with those guys that night those people
that night but oh my but Thomas of the twelve called Didymus
was not with them when the Lord came The other disciples there
said unto him, we have seen the Lord, we've seen him. All the
rest of them said, we've seen him. But he said unto them, I
don't care what you tell me, I don't care what you say you've
seen, except I, I shall see in his hands the print of the nails. Now he had just done that to
them, so evidently he didn't see this. and put my finger into
the print of the nails and thrust my hand into his side. Look what
he says, I will not believe. That's a pretty emphatic statement,
ain't it? But oh why? After eight days,
this is eight days after he appeared to him that first night after
his resurrection, eight days After eight days again his disciples
were within, and listen to this, Thomas was there that day. Then came Jesus, and listen to
this, this is the only people that know Christ can grasp this,
and understand this, that they were within, then Jesus, the
doors being shut, stood in the mist, And said,
Peace be unto you. Then he looked at Thomas. He
looked at Thomas and said, Thomas! You know it's like Nathaniel
sitting over there under that tree. When they went over and
told him, you know, that we found Him, the Christ, the Messiah,
and he said, oh, no, no, there ain't no way. There's nothing
that comes out of Galilee that's anything, out of Nazareth, anything. And you know what our Lord said?
He said, I saw you sitting there under that fig tree, and I heard
everything you said. He said, there art the Christ!
And oh, listen, you think our Lord don't know what we say,
and what we think, and what comes out of our mouths? He said, Thomas! Didn't say nothing to anybody
else in that crowd. Thomas, here. If that's what it takes, here. Thomas, if that's what it takes,
go ahead on. Look what he says. Oh my. And now you know, he said,
My Lord. My Lord. My Lord. Oh my Lord. And my God, that's all he could
say, my Lord. Because he saw Him on everything. Oh, you know. And my God, bow
down. You're my Lord. You're my God.
You're my Lord and you're my God. And you know what our Lord
said? Oh, you're blessed because you've
seen. But how much more blessed are them that have not seen and
yet believe. Alright, back over here in Luke. Let's look at a few things. He
banished their doubts, and He revealed to them His love for
them, sealed it to their hearts by showing them His hands and
feet. Again there in verse 39. Why do thoughts arise in your
hearts? Look, look at my hands, look at my feet. It's really
me. It's me. It's myself. It's not another, not a spirit.
Handle me. Come on, handle me. Touch me. Feel me. The spirit don't have
flesh and bones as you see me have. That's what kind of, when
you talk about these flesh and bones. We ain't gonna have blood
in our bodies when Christ takes us home. We won't need it. That's why we're not afraid of
dying. You know why? The life of the
flesh is in the blood. But the life of the soul is in
Christ. The life of that eternal life is in Christ. You know it gives a spiritual
life. Now you imagine what it's going to be in a body. And not
only that, but he said, oh, listen, you got anything to eat? We're
going to eat. In fact, the first meal we're going to have when
we get there is the marriage supper of the Lamb. That's the first meal we're going
to have. When we get into the kingdom, the first meal we're
going to have is the marriage supper of the Lamb. Boy, I'll
tell you what, you think they had a feast in this world? That
feast there will be... How is Christ going to feed a
multitude no man can number? Easy, easy, easy. That ain't no problem for Him.
He feeds millions every single day with His Word. We're like Mephibosheth. We're sitting at the king's table
eating of the king's meat. Oh my. And then when He had thus
spoken there in verse 40, He showed them His hands and His
feet. Oh my. Oh my. And our Lord Jesus Christ,
he asked him, you got anything to eat? He said, yeah. They gave him a piece of broiled
fish. Gave him some honey. Honeycomb. Sucked that honey.
Ate a piece of fish and then ate some of that honeycomb. Then he began to stir up their
hearts. He began to preach to them. And
that's what happens when he preaches to us, stirs up our hearts. And
then he said in verse 44, this guy stirred up their hearts,
their memories. He said unto them, the words,
these are the words. which I spake unto you while
I was yet with you. Remember all the times I told
you. You remember when Elijah and
Moses appeared to me and talked about what my death would accomplish? Remember while I was with you?
These are the things I preached to you, I spake to you. That all things must be fulfilled,
which were written in the law of Moses, And all written in
the prophets and in the Psalms concerning me. Oh, he stirred
up their memories. And I tell you what, how many
times have we read something and all of a sudden, you know,
it just slips away from us and he stirs up our memories. And
oh, listen, and here's another thing that he did while they
were sitting there. They sat in there. Then opened
he their understanding. He went in there and I wish I
had some kind of a button there so when something wasn't right
I'd just push that button and Christ would come and open my
understanding. He had come and given us an understanding. And he opened their understanding.
He started, we always did, Moses, the prophets, and the Psalms,
and he began to open their understanding. Don't you remember? And he said,
oh, and he began to open their understanding. And then he said
unto them, thus it is written. Thus it behoove Christ to suffer
and rise from the dead. And then he showed him the work
that he has to do. You go preach repentance. Preach
that I paid for sins. That I put away sins. That I
did my own blood. That I accomplished it by myself.
And you go preach that every place you go. And you start here
at Jerusalem. And then he says you're going
to be witnesses. You're going to be witnesses of what? Of me. Witnesses of me. And I want to
show you one thing here and wind this up. John 20. Look over here
in John 20. I remember Scott Richardson preaching
on this one time. John chapter 20 and verse 20. Now let's look in verse 19. Then the same day at evening,
being the first day of the week, this is the witness happened
now. When the doors were shut, where the disciples were assembled
for fear of the Jews, Jesus stood in the midst and said unto them,
Peace be unto you. And when he had so said, he showed
unto them his hands and his side, listen to this, then were the
disciples glad when they saw the Lord. Old Scott preached that and said,
what will make you glad? I remember him preaching that,
what will make you glad? I tell you what makes me glad,
seeing the Lord. Seeing the Lord, seeing what
He accomplished for me. Oh my. Has the Lord appeared
to us today? Has He breathed into our souls
and brought us peace? Oh my, let me tell you something,
let me give you a little illustration. Talking about how glorious Christ
is. There's depths in the ocean a
storm, a storm never touches. There are heights in the sky
where a cloud never reaches. And there's where it's perpetual
sunshine. And I tell you what, Christ is
going to be our eternal light. And may our Lord, while we yet
live in this world, give us such peace and rest only in Himself. Only in Himself. Give us peace.
Oh, give us peace. Our Father, the precious name,
blessed name of our Lord Jesus Christ, thank you for your word. Thank you for that four words, peace be unto you. And oh God, there's peace with
you, peace from you, peace because of you. And oh Lord, keep us
in peace. Keep us in rest. Keep our hearts
from turmoil. Keep our hearts from unbelief.
Keep our hearts from being too troubled about this world and
the things of it. For Lord, this world is passing
away. It's words passing away. Everything
about it will be gone. And only what we have in you
is eternal and blessed and glorious. God bless the word to you dear
saints here today. We ask in Christ's name. Amen. Amen.
