appeared unto him, Abraham is
talking about, in the plains of Mamre, as he sat in the tent
door in the heat of the day. And he lift up his eyes and looked,
and lo, three men stood by him. And when he saw them, he ran
to meet them from the tent door and bowed himself toward the
ground. and said, My Lord, if now I have
found favor in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy
servant. Let a little water, I pray you,
be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the
tree. And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort you your
hearts, afterward that you shall pass on. For therefore are you
come to your servant, and they said, so do as thou hast said. And Abraham hastened into the
tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures
of fine meal. Knead it, and make cakes upon
the hearth. And Abraham ran unto the herd,
and fetched a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young
man. And he hasted to dress it. And he took butter and milk,
and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them. And he
stood by them under the tree, and they did eat. Our relationship to God. Here's
Abraham. God, this is the third time God
appeared to Abraham. Back in Genesis 15, look what
it says here. After these things the word of
the Lord came to Abraham in a vision. Came to him in a vision there.
God spake in divers manners and different ways. Fear not, Abram,
I am thy shield and thy exceeding great reward. And then in chapter
17 in verse 1, when Abraham was 90 years old, 99 years old, the
Lord appeared to Abram and said unto him, I am the Almighty God,
walk before me. And so he's appeared to him in
a vision, He appeared to him and talked to him and here he
is appearing to him again. But this time is not a vision.
This time is not just by word. This time he actually comes in
his presence. Physical presence to meet Abraham. To meet Abraham. And our relationship
to God can be summed up in four words. Sons. We're sons. You're no longer servants but
sons. And the second word that sum up our relationship with
God is worship. If you're a son of God, you're
going to worship God. You're going to worship Him.
Abraham fell before the Lord here. And then we have stewardship. God gives us things in this world. And everything that He gives
us, He gives us just to use it for His glory and the good of
others. Not just for ourselves, but for the good of others. And
the fourth word that would sum up our relationship with God
is fellowship with Him. Fellowship with Him. John said
it like this, our fellowship is with the Father and with His
Son, Jesus Christ. And that word fellowship means
communion. It means intimate relation with,
having a communion with, having a delight in, and coming close
together. And that's what that means in
our fellowship. John said, our fellowship, our
union is with the Father and with His Son. And here's Abraham,
he has fellowship. And so we as believers are sons. Sons. And what Obey read tonight
there in Colossians chapter 1. There's three evidence of sonship
right there in that chapter. First of all, I heard of your
faith. All sons have faith. God giving
faith. Third thing is, is that we've
heard of your hope. Faith giveth hope. Hope maketh
not ashamed. Because the love of God is shed
abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost. And the third thing is,
I've heard of your love. Faith, hope, and love. And that's
what the evidence of it, you know, that's just the way it
is. That's the way we are. And so here we are. Here's Abraham. We're sons of God. We're friends
of God. We have fellowship with Him.
But look what happens here. It says here in verse 1, And
the Lord appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre, And it was
a hot, hot day, very hot day, the heat of the day. It was the
hottest part of the day, and Abraham was sitting in his tent,
and look what it says, and he lift up his eyes. Remember a
few weeks ago I brought a message on, they lifted up their eyes.
Lot lifted up his eyes and went towards Sodom. Abraham lifted
up his eyes and went the other direction. But they lift up their
eyes to look and behold out the land. Abraham lift up his eyes
and look at what it says here. Lo, three men stood by. He didn't see Him walking. He
didn't see Him coming. He didn't say, Boy, I see three
men coming from far off here. I wonder who they are. The Scripture
says that three men stood by Him. Ain't that the way it is? The Lord, do you know when He
appears? He's there. Let me tell you about these three
men. This is of course the Lord Jesus
Christ. Because it talks about a tree,
and fellowship in a tree, and resting around a tree, and eating
under a tree. And this is, of course, the Lord
Jesus Christ, and this is just a shadow of the Trinity. Because
there's three men here, and then this just is a shadow of the
Trinity. You know, Paul said in Hebrews 10.1, said the law
was a shadow. A shadow. A shadow of what? Good things to come. This was
a shadow of the Trinity. And now, beloved, there's no
more shadow, but it's good things. These good things, Christ has
come. The Holy Spirit's come. The Father sent Him. Oh, listen,
we're not living on shadows anymore. We're living on the reality of
it. And this is the Lord Jesus Christ
here, and it's a shadow of the Trinity. God didn't send a word. He said, I'm going to send a
word to Abraham. God didn't say I'm going to send a message to
Abraham. God didn't say I'm going to get Abraham a vision. But
he said, I'm going to go visit Abraham. I'm going to appear
to Abraham. I'm going to make myself known
to Abraham like I've never made myself known to him before. And
that's what happened here, beloved. Three men stood by him. And that's
the way it is. You know, that's the way. When
the Spirit of God comes, we don't know where He's going to blow.
We don't know who He's going to blow on. But when He does
blow, you know that He's blown on you. You can hear the sound
thereof. You can feel it. You experience
it. And that's what happened to Abraham.
He's sitting there in the heat of the day. And all of a sudden,
There stood the Lord. And I'll tell you what, that's
what happens to us. That's what happens to us. We
don't know God until God, one day he's there. That's what I've
said. I've said this so many times.
There was a day you was not a believer. And then there's a day you are.
There's a day you didn't know God, and then there's a day you
do. There's a day when you did not know anything about Christ,
and then there's a day that's all you want to know. There's
a time when you couldn't see, and now you ask God to give me
eyes that I may see more. And there was a time when we
didn't hear His voice, and now we ask Him all the time, Oh Lord,
let me hear from You. When we go to these services,
Lord, speak to me. Let me, like Obed said, give
me a knowledge of your will. And oh, I tell you why, beloved,
why you know the Lord appears to us, and you know why He appears
to us, because we were chosen. Abraham was chosen. God called
him out of the Ur of the Chaldees. Called him out of idolatry. Why? Because he was chosen of God.
He was chosen of God to be his son. Chosen of God to be the
father of the faithful. He was chosen of God. And that's
why the Lord appeared. And he appears to us because
we were chosen. God's elect. And I tell you what,
in the Son, The Son redeemed us. The Son paid our sin debt.
The Son did away with everything that was against us. He made
peace through the blood of His cross. And our Lord in the Holy
Spirit comes and He takes the things of Christ. And this is
what is so mysterious. This is, you know, one day here
you sit and you're not a believer and you listen. And then one
day you just, your mind just says, yes, that's it. That's
it. Your mind and heart says, that's
it. I believe that. What happened to cause that to
happen? The flesh didn't do it. The Holy Spirit opened a man's
heart, opened his mind. He read that tonight. He translated
us from the power of darkness into the King of the Son of His
love. I remember being in darkness.
I can remember so well. I remember being in religious
darkness. Oh, religious darkness is the
awfulest darkness in the world. Paul was in religious darkness.
Oh, he said, I was a righteous, I was a Pharisee of Pharisees,
a Jew of Jews. Oh, I was super religious, zealous,
had a right set for more blameless, and oh, what darkness he was
in. And he said, it pleased God who
separated me from my mother's womb and called me by His grace. And oh, beloved, and I tell you
what, that's what he says, may the Lord Jesus Christ, God the
Father and the Spirit of the Holy Ghost be with you. He said
over in 2 Corinthians. But oh, look what Abraham does
now. The Lord appeared unto him. Standing
by him, they stood by him. And he looked up, he's sittin'
there in the tent probably about half asleep. You know how you
get when it's in the heat of the day? You get just drowsy,
you're sittin' in the sun, you're sittin' in the heat. And it was
a hot day and he's sittin' out in the tent tryin' to get some
air. He's sittin' there, groggy probably, and then all of a sudden
these three men, and he lifted up his eyes and looked and said,
oh! Oh! He lifted up his eyes and
looked! and looked. He didn't know the
Lord was on the plains. He was about half asleep and
he lifted up his eyes and there was those three fellas standing
there. And then look what it says, he
saw them and he ran to meet them, ran to where they were and bowed himself toward the ground. Oh my. I tell you, ain't that
our response? When God opens our eyes, gives
us sight, gives us sight, we look up and we see the Lord Jesus
Christ, we see Him in His glory, we see Him in His power, see
Him in His grace, see Him in His love, see Him in His might,
see Him in His compassion, see Him in His mercy, and His willingness
and his willingness to do. And his willingness to do. And
what do we do? We meet him. And what do we do? Just like Abraham. We bow down. We bow down. People think that
they got to action and he bowed down his head toward the ground.
I mean he put his head in the dust. Bowed down. Men don't bow to other men. I
mean unless, you know, I know some of these kings want people
to bow to them and all that kind of stuff. But I ain't nobody.
The only person I'm going to bow to is the Lord Jesus Christ.
If I was to go to England and meet the Queen of England or
the King of England, I'm not going to bow to him. If I go meet one
of them Saudi kings, I'm not going to bow to him. Are you? I'm certainly not going to bow
to anybody but Christ. And that's what Abraham did.
Oh, I'll gladly bow to him. And I'll tell you something else,
beloved. Believers are constantly bowed to Christ. They got their
heads down to Christ. They got their hearts submitted
to Christ. They got their souls committed
to Christ. They're bowed down to Christ.
Lord, I take your yoke upon me and I want to get under it. And
to get under a yoke, you've got to get down. And you know what scares us?
I tell you, I know what I'm talking about here. I really do know
what I'm talking about. A believer's scared to death of lifting himself
up. He's afraid. He's afraid that
he's going to get up, that he's going to lift himself up, that
he's going to rob God of some of his glory. that he's going
to take something unto himself that he should. He's going to
attribute something to himself that he didn't do or that he
didn't think. And he's afraid to lift himself up. He's afraid
he's going to be lifted up. And he said, Oh God, Oh Lord
Jesus, keep me down. Keep me down. The Apostle said,
Hold the beginning of your confidence steadfast unto the end. When
was the beginning of your confidence? Of being a believer. What was
the beginning of your confidence? You knew you was a sinner. And
you came to Christ. And that's the beginning. You
hold on to that right there. I come to Christ as a sinner
and He was the Savior. And we never graduate from that
place. That's my confidence. That's
the beginning of it. And it ain't got no better. I
ain't got no more. That's the confidence that I
started with. And that's the confidence I'm
going to die with. Christ come to save sinners. Paul said, I'm the chief. And
that's what Abraham did. He met the Lord. And when he
met the Lord, when he run to see the Lord, got out of the,
there where they stood by the tent, he got up and went to where
they were and bowed down. bowed down, bowed down his head
to the ground. And look what the first thing
come out of his mouth was. In verse 3, it said, My Lord. It's like Thomas said, My Lord
and my God. He says, My Lord. And you know
this thing, My is capital and Lord is capitalized? The Lord's
got to become yours. He says, my, that's capitalized.
My Lord, the Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want. The Lord leads me beside the
still waters. The Lord causes my cup to run
over. And here he says, my Lord. That's
the first thing he says. It's like those three leopards
that came down off the mountain. And they saw the Lord Jesus Christ
and they come to him and the first words out of their mouth
was, Lord, Lord, if you will, if you will, you make us clean. But they said, Lord, we don't
know nothing about this fella that was just born on December
the 25th that's laid in a manger. We don't know nothing about him. We know something about a man
who came here through the womb of a virgin, that he was God-man. And we know this man, and when
he entered into his ministry, the first thing he says, the
Spirit of the Lord is upon me. And we know something about him,
and we know something about him being Lord. He was Lord before
He got here. He is Lord while He is here.
He is Lord right now. And He will always be Lord. And
one of these days, every knee is going to bow to Him and say,
Yes, He's the Lord. It's going to happen. He's the
Lord. They said, look, I've seen signs. There was a place up in Fairmont,
if I'm not mistaken. When you went into Fairmont,
it said, Make Jesus Lord of this area or something like that.
Listen, you're too late. You can't make Jesus Lord in
your life. You're too late. God done made
Him Lord. And if you know Him at all, you know Him as Lord.
That was the thing that they had years ago. And I guess they
still do it, you know. You get saved. You get saved. And you go on for a while. And
then when you get really saved, You make Jesus Lord of your life. Listen, you know why we bow to
Him? Because He's Lord. We submit
to Him because you can't worship anything but the Lord. If God
was anything like us whatsoever, we couldn't worship Him. We couldn't
worship Him. If God had to depend on me in
any way, if Christ had to depend on me in any way, how can you
worship somebody, anything resembling yourself? But if someone is a
sovereign, someone has all the power, someone has all the glory,
someone has all the might, someone who's got all the power, someone
who's got all the will, you can bow and worship that one. And
you're thankful that He let you do that. He let you do that. He said,
My Lord, and then look what else He said now. My Lord, if now
I have found grace in thy sight. Oh my. That's the first thing
you want to know. Lord, if you give me grace, do
I have, have I found grace? Do you? Have I found grace in
your sight? If you give me grace, Do I really
have your grace? Have I found favor in your sight? Have I found grace in your sight? Lord, did you give me grace? Grace? Did you give it to me? Have I found it in your sight? I'm not like Noah. Have I found
grace in your sight? Look over in Exodus 33. Exodus 33. And look what happens here in
Exodus 33 and verse 13. Oh my Lord, if I found grace
in your sight, Look what Moses says. Now Moses has performed an incredible
amount of signs. God used him mightily. But still
yet, listen to what he says. Exodus 33, 13. Now therefore
I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, Show me now
thy way. Now listen to this, that I might
know thee, that I may know thee, and that I may find grace in
thy sight. Here's a man who knew God, and
he still said, he's like Paul, I want to win Christ, I want
to be found in Christ. And that's what he says, if I
found grace in your sight, I want to know you, and I want to know
that I have grace. I want to know that. And I tell
you, it's like on the Emmaus Road, and they's walking with
the Lord Jesus Christ, and their eyes weren't open that they should
behold Him. But you know when they saw Him? When He sat down
to have meat with them. And He gave thanks for the meat,
and their eyes were open. They knew immediately it was
the Lord Jesus Christ. And that's what happened to Abraham.
The Lord opened his eyes, and he saw the Lord. He saw the Lord. Now back over here in Genesis.
Look what else happens now. He says there in verse 3, If
I found favor, if I found grace in your sight, listen to what
he says now. Pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant. Don't
leave me to myself. Don't walk away and leave me
alone. Please don't leave me alone. Don't just pass away. We sing that song, Pass me not,
O gentle Savior. That's what he said here. Oh
Lord, don't pass away from me. Don't go on by me. Oh, don't turn away. Don't turn away
from me. Please don't leave me to myself.
And then look what he says now. And He shows such regard and
such respect for the Lord Jesus Christ. He's like Mary and Martha. He wants to feed them. He wants
to take care of them. He wants to show respect for
them. And the first thing He says, I'm going to get some water
and we're going to come out here and we're going to wash your
feet. You know our Lord Jesus washed His disciples' feet? And
He says, you do the same thing. And that's the thing. He said,
I'm going to get some water. And you sit down here. I'm going
to wash the dust off your feet. I'm going to comfort your feet.
I'm going to make your feet cool. You've been in this whole hot
weather. I'm going to cool. I'm going to wash your feet. And then he says, rest yourselves
under the tree. Oh my, you know the only place
we find rest at is under the tree, under the tree. That's
where we, where Christ is at, under the tree. That's where
we want to be. We glory in the cross of our
Lord Jesus Christ. And he goes on to say, and then
I'm going to get you something to eat. I'm going to get you
some bread. And I tell you what, that bread's going to comfort
your hearts. And now you know he's doing this for the Lord,
the Lord Jesus Christ. He turns around and he gives
us himself as the bread of life. And after that, you're going
to pass on. And therefore you come to your
servant. And they said, you do what you said you're going to
do. Abram hastened into the tent, told Sarah to make three measures
of meal, knead it, make cakes, make some bread on the hearth.
Run and got him a calf. Calf tender, young, tender calf. Gave it to the man. He hastened.
and he took butter and milk and the calf which he had dressed
and set it before them. And this is what I like. Now
they're resting under the tree. And we find our rest in Christ
and what he did on the cross. And then it says there, and they
ate under that tree. That's where we have our food.
That's where we get our food. We eat with Christ around the
cross and because of the cross, because of what took place under
that cross, we have the bread, we have the wine, we have the
fellowship, we have the communion. And Abram just stood there. And
beloved, thank God for the cross. Thank God we can rest under the
rest because of what was accomplished on the cross. And oh my, he was
so respectful. And then look what happens here.
God gives assurance to him. Let's go down here to verse nine.
Look what God says to him now. Says to Abraham, oh my, wouldn't
you love to have a meal? You remember when Mary and Martha,
after Lazarus had been raised from the dead, they said that
the Lord Jesus sat there and meet with them in their house?
Can you imagine sitting down at a table with the Lord Jesus
Christ? And He's the one who offers thanks? And when He sat with His disciples,
He took the bread and break it, gave it to them, and then He
gave thanks. Gave thanks for His own broken body. They sat down under that tree
and they rested under that tree. And they ate under that tree.
Their communion was under that tree. Their fellowship was under
that tree. Now look what happens in verse
9. And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? He said, She's
in the tent. He said, Well, I'm going to certainly
return unto thee according to the time of life. Now listen
to me, now only Christ can give life. That's why we know it's
the Lord. I'll return unto thee according
to the time of life and Sarah your wife shall have a son. And
Sarah was standing there and she listened to this conversation.
And it says that Sarah heard this in the tent door which was
behind him. She was behind him. And oh my! Now watch what happens now. He
said, I'm going to return at this time next year, the time
of life. And that's when Christ comes, the time of life. It's
like that infant cast out. It was the time of love and time
of life. Now look what happens. Now Abraham
and Sarah were old and well stricken in age. And listen to what it
says, and it ceased to be with Sarah after the matter of women.
She was way, way, way, way past bearing a child. And so Sarah laughed within herself.
She didn't laugh out loud, she just laughed within herself.
After I am waxed old, got to be an old, old woman, shall I
have pleasure, my Lord, being old also? She said, there's no
way in the world it's going to happen. She just laughed in her
heart. She said, this ain't going to
happen. I'm old. Abraham's old. What in the world
is he talking about? And the Lord said unto Abraham,
now listen to this. Abraham wasn't in the tent. He
didn't know what was going on with Sarah. Wherefore did Sarah
laugh? Saying, shall I of a surety bear
a child which am old? And oh my, this is the key to
the whole thing right here. Is anything too hard for the
Lord? The same power that God created
the world with is the same power that He raises us from the dead
of our sin. And he said again, at the time
appointed, I'll return unto thee according to the time of life,
and Sarah shall have a son. When it's time for you to have
a child. Now that shows you it's a miracle,
it's a supernatural act, and only Christ can do that. When
it's time for you to have that, that made you a promise, that
she's going to be the father of many nations. I'm not going
to go there. How am I going to happen? Well,
Sarah said, I know how I'll have a child. I'll get Agar. No, no. Agar had to leave with
Ishmael. The bond woman and the son and
the free woman can't live together. The bond, the child of the flesh
and the child of the spirit, they can't live together. And
look what he says. Then Sarah denies saying, I'll
laugh not. for she was afraid. And he said,
the Lord said to her, this is Christ's sadness. Oh yeah, but
you did laugh. And then what it says, she laughed
within herself. That just goes to show you the Lord knows what's
going on. She laughed within herself. And
the Lord, she said, no, I didn't laugh. The Lord said, oh yes,
you did. I knew it. I know what you did. I know what you did. I know what
you thought. I know what you felt. Oh my. And he repeats that. And he tells
us, there's nothing too hard for the Lord. It's like when
the disciples, he's talking about how in the world can a man be
saved? And our Lord Jesus Christ says, with men, it's impossible,
but nothing is impossible with God. And then look at what God
says to Abram here. Abram has such fellowship with
the Lord. And the men rose up from thence,
and looked toward Sodom, and Abraham went with them to bring
them on the way. Abraham went and walked along
with them. And the Lord said, listen to this, and the Lord
said, Shall I hide from Abram that thing which I do? Shall
I not let my child, my son, not know what I'm fixed to do? You
think I should hide it from him? No, no. And look what he says. And this is what God knows about
all of his children. Seeing that Abraham shall surely
become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth
shall be blessed in him. And this is something else that
I know about Abraham. This is the Lord speaking now.
For I know him, that he will command his children, and his
household after him. And they, because he will command
them, shall keep the way of the Lord." I know this is what Abraham
is going to do. To do justice and judgment, that
the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he has spoken of him.
Oh, shall I hide anything from Abraham? Now I'm going to read
something to you in Amos chapter 3 and verse 7. You can look at
it yourself when you want to look at it. I marked it tonight,
but look what it says about what God does. Surely the Lord God
will do nothing, but He revealeth His secret unto His servants,
the prophets. He ain't going to do nothing,
but what He reveals. And He, you know, our Lord Jesus
told His disciples, He said, hitherto I've not told you anything
that says, now you're not, you're my friends. A servant don't know
what his Lord's going to do, but you're my friends. And I'm
going to tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to tell you
what I'm going to do. I'm going to tell you where I'm
going to go. And I'm going to tell you how it's going to be
done. And I'm going to tell you what's going to happen after
it's done. Actress does. And oh, that's
the way He is with us. He said, shall I not make known
unto them what's my will? Shall I make not known unto them
what I'm going to do? What I'm going to do? And oh,
beloved. And then He goes on and says,
and the Lord said, because the cry of Solomon and Gomorrah is
great, and because their sin is grievous, I'm going to go
down now. I'm going to go down. Anytime
Christ comes into this world, He had to come down. And see whether they have done
all together according to the cry, which has now come up to
me, and then I will know. You know, whenever we know God,
God makes us know Himself and He appears to us. Our fellowship
with the Lord is always associated with Him making Himself known
to us and making His will known to us. Making His will known
to us. And that's what He prayed, that's
what He read tonight. That we might increase in the
knowledge of His will. And where do we find His will?
Right here. What's the will of the Lord?
This is the will of Him that sent the Son, that everyone that
believeth on Him may have everlasting life. I know that much of the
will of God. And this is the will of Him that
sent me. And I tell you what, the will of God, God ain't gonna
come to us, and you know what I'll know what God's will for
me tomorrow is? When I get up and deal with tomorrow. It may be a will to do nothing
but relax and rest and get a few things done. It may be that I
get a call and something else happens. You don't know what
God's will is until it is His will for you personally until
you face that day. We just don't know. We just don't
know. And look what it says in John
15, 15. Let me show you this and then I'll quit. John 15,
15. You know, our Lord Jesus, you
know, knowledge of His will, to know His will. John 15 and
verse 15. You know, Nobody knows their master's will
and purposes, but those that he makes to know it. He said
here, John 15, 15. Henceforth, I call you not servants,
for the servant knoweth not what his Lord doeth. But I have called
you friends for all things that I've heard of the Father I've
made known unto you. And this is what I've known of
the Father. And I've made it known unto you. You've not chosen
me. I've chosen you. Father made
me know that, and I'm letting you know it. Oh my, the word
danger, the word danger. John 13, 25. Oh, we always want to know what's
going on. You know, this is when that Lord
Jesus Christ is going to be betrayed. And old John was lying on our
Lord Jesus Christ's breast when our Lord said, somebody's going
to betray me. And he said to him, Lord, who
is it? Who is it? Who is it that's going
to betray you? He answered, it is he to whom
I shall give a sop when I have dipped him. When he dipped the
sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. But oh, beloved,
that's what, who is it, Lord? Who is it? I'll tell you, beloved. Three men stood by. And there's a song, I found it,
Bobby Buckner sang it down at Sylacauga. Lord, stand by me. When I'm old and infirm, stand
by me. When I'm in fear and anxiety
and in trouble, stand by me. When I get ready to cross chilly
Jordan, Lord, stand by me. Stand by me. And the Lord Jesus,
here's the thing. He said, I'll never leave you
and I'll never forsake you. And bless his holy name. Paul
said, He's at my right hand. The Lord's at hand. That means
He's at my right hand. Christ is always with us. Whether we feel it, whether we
experience it, or whether we can enjoy it or don't enjoy it,
He is by us. Always with us. Ain't that right? Because that's what He says in
His Word. That's what He said. So I don't
feel His presence. I don't either, but that don't
mean he ain't there. And oh, well, I'll shut up. Our Father, oh, blessed Father,
precious, precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you
for your abundant mercy given us in Him. Oh, the bounding grace
of God given us in Christ. And Lord Jesus, we bless you
for the day that you stood by us and appeared to us and we
opened our eyes and we saw. We saw the Lord Jesus Christ
and we bowed before him and we keep bowing. We keep coming.
We keep bowing. And Lord, thank you that you've
opened your word and you appeared to us and made us to know something
about your word. We thank you for these things.
in our Lord Jesus Christ's name. Amen. Amen. Well, oh, how merciful, how merciful,
precious Lord, how merciful thou art to me. See you Wednesday. God blessin'.
