our studies in Bible doctrine.
You know, the last couple of weeks we've been looking at the
covenants. Last week we talked about the everlasting covenant
ratified with the blood of Christ and how the blood of Christ secures
the salvation of all of God's elect and ratified the covenant.
And all of those covenants, every single one of them, pointed to
the Lord Jesus Christ up until he came. In fact, Isaiah 45 says
that He gave him, God gave him, and said, I give you for a covenant
to the people. And so now it's time to come
to the blessed truths about our Lord Jesus Christ. That's the
title of my message this evening, The Lord Jesus Christ. We're
going to deal with His person and His work for a few weeks.
And we come to some truths about our blessed Lord Jesus. And I
know, I know this, that the truth concerning Him, is the center
of all history. I mean from the beginning of
time to the end of time. He is the center of all history,
all biblical history. He's the center of the history
of redemption. He is the one in whom the Father delights.
It says there where I read to you, God anointed him with the
Holy Ghost in power, and he went about doing good, and that God
made him judge of the quick and dead. And the only witness you're
going to witness to is what I'll tell you to witness about him."
And Peter said, that's what we're doing, we're witnessing about
him. And everything in history points back to him. It points to his coming, and
everything that has happened since he came points back to
him. In fact, our calendar proves that. It says B.C. before Christ, and A.D. the year of our Lord after his
resurrection. The calendar is based on the
time that our Lord Jesus Christ was on this earth. Everything
that was before Christ, and everything since Christ. So he's the very
center of history. And all, beloved, in the scriptures
is plain. They're plain and clear. That
the salvation he accomplished is the very essence of biblical
Christianity. And I call it biblical Christianity.
Because there's a Christian, you know, if you call just Christian.
Some people think America's a Christian nation. I heard today that one
nation was destroyed because it was a Christian nation. Nations
are not Christian. People are Christian. Nations
are not. I know that they have some God
restrained people, but I do know this, that there's a biblical
Christianity. And Christ himself, the Bible
makes plain that he is the center and the essence of biblical Christianity. And that's what makes it different
than all other religions in this world. This is what makes it
all different. You take Buddha. There's a fellow,
his name was Sinhartha. He sat out under a tree a few
centuries ago. And he was trying to find nirvana,
trying to find out the answer to life, find out the answer
to peace, find out the answer to how his soul would be accomplished.
Well, listen, Buddha would consist of the teachings of Buddha would
have come into existence with or without Buddha. Man's going
to come up with some way, and every religion does that, to
find some kind of essence of peace, some kind of quietness
for soul, and some way to find your reason for existence and
be quiet in your reason for existence. But they could still have it
without Buddha. And you take Mohammed, who started
the Muslim religion. Islam. Now I think, you know,
Islam could do without him. Somebody else would have come
up with a religion that was based on words. All religions based
upon words. But someone else would have started
it if it hadn't have been him. And here's the difference. In
all other religions, it's the teaching that matters. All other
religions, it's the teaching that matters. Buddha's teaching
that matters. Muhammad's teachings that matters.
But in biblical Christianity, it's the person that matters. It's Christ himself that matters. It's Christ himself that this
Bible, this Bible deals with a person, not just teaching.
A person. A person. And that's why so many
who claim to be Christian, it's evident that they're not because
Christ as a person is not essential to them. They can have church
memberships essential. Baptism is essential. Making
a profession is essential. Praying on an altar is essential.
Praying is essential. Tithe pay is essential, but the
person of Christ is not essential to them. They can get by just
fine without Him. But according to the Scriptures,
the Bible tells us that He Himself is salvation and His person is
what we've got to deal with according to the Bible. You take Christ
from the Bible, what do you got? You ain't even got a good history
book. You've got a history of a nation. You take Christ from salvation. Vanishes, just like that. And
the claims that our Lord Jesus Christ made, saying that I am,
in seven or eight things, I am.
Except you believe I am. Before Abraham was, I am. I am
the bread of life. I am the light of life. Except
you believe I am, He ain't gonna die in your sins. Nobody comes
to the Father but by me. And if a man makes those kind
of claims, and God himself says, this is my son in whom I'm well
pleased, hear ye him. If that man's claims have to
either be right, or he's the greatest imposter that ever lived
on the face of this earth. Nobody else, nobody else on the
top side of God's earth says, I'm God, and I've come here,
and I'm the only one that you can get salvation from. They
say, go to the teachings and learn, and as you learn, you'll
officially attain salvation. Christ says, come to Me! I'm
salvation! You come to Me, and then you'll
learn of Me! Just the difference. You see
what I'm talking about? Boy, I tell you, take Christ from the Bible,
take Christ from salvation, take Christ from the Scriptures, take
Christ from Christianity, and it vanishes. It ceases. But the
salvation of the Bible is entirely about him. This book is about
him, about who he is. It's about what he has done,
and it's about why he did it. It's about who he did it for,
and it's about where he is right now. And that's why Paul says,
if a man or an angel or myself come and preach any other gospel
unto you than that I've preached unto you, you let him be accursed.
He said, I'm serious about this business, only one gospel, only
one way, only one salvation, only one person. And he said,
I mean, if an angel comes down from heaven and I come back with
another message or anybody else, let God curse him, let God damn
him, because that's what's going to happen to him. That's how
serious this business of the gospel is. And you know what?
We ask the question, why four gospels? Why is there four Gospels? Why wouldn't one been enough?
Why wouldn't the Gospel of Matthew been enough? Why wouldn't just
God been enough? Or Luke or Mark? They all have the same account.
There's so many different things in it. But why were there four
Gospels? The reason being to tell the
truth about the Lord Jesus Christ. You know, here's the thing about
it, you know, Christ, before the Gospels were written, people
were saying awful things about him. Attributed things to him
that he did, that he didn't do. Attributed things, saying things
about him that wasn't true. And attributed things that weren't,
that he didn't do. My son brought me from college
one time a book of Mark. And it was supposed to be written
by Mark, and it was as obvious that that was one of the most
unspeakable. You know, it wasn't even a good book much less. It
told things about what Christ did when He was nine years old
and ten years old. How He'd play with birds, you
know, He'd say, make a bird go up, go down, and do flips and
stuff. Just foolish stuff. You know, just ridiculous stuff
that they would attribute to. So God calls these men, to write
the Gospels, to tell the truth about Jesus Christ, those who
were high witnesses of Him, those who traveled with Him, those
who heard Him speak. And that's why He says, the word
that I speak unto you, He says, you know their truth and their
life, and you are witnesses of these things. And let me give
you a perfect example. Look over here in Luke chapter
1. Here's a perfect example of what we're talking about. There's
four Gospels to tell the truth about Jesus Christ, to clear
up all confusions about who He is, all confusions about what
He did, all confusions about His claims of His miracles and
His signs and His wonders and His person, the way He was treated. But look what Luke 1 says here,
the first four verses. For as much as many have taken
in hand, to set in forth and order a declaration of those
things which are most surely believed among us." A lot of
people, he said, they got ready, they're going to declare, set
in order the things which we believe, among us who are believers.
Even as they delivered them unto us which were from the beginning
were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word. It seemed good to
me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very to
write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus, that thou
mightest know the certainty of those things wherein thou hast
been instructed." Might know the certainty of them. Don't
have to guess. And John's Gospel says this in
John 20, 31. He says, that you might believe that Jesus
is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing, you might
have life." He said, that's the reason I wrote this book. That
you can believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. That He's
the Christ. So that's why we have four Gospels.
And 1 John, you know, you go through 1 John was written. Because
there were those who were denied that Jesus Christ came into flesh.
They said, in the flesh is nothing but sin, so God could not have
possibly come in the flesh. And that's why John said, he
that denies that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is anti-Christ. So I mean, you know, when we're
talking about Christ coming in the flesh, we're talking about
God coming in the flesh. And I'm going to say something
right here, and I'm going to explain it after I say it. It's
not enough for somebody to say, I believe in Jesus Christ. Almost
everybody believes, say, you know, I've accepted Jesus as
my personal Savior. I believe that Jesus is the Savior.
I believe that Jesus is Christ. I believe that. But why is it
not enough to say that? Because the Scriptures ask us
questions. The Scriptures ask us questions.
Why? What is it that you do believe
about Him? Or do you believe about Him? That's why Peter says,
always be ready to give a reason for the hope that's in you. Why
do you believe about Him? What is it you do believe about
Him? Is He a man only? Is He God only? Did He really
come in the flesh? Why did He do what is here? What
was His purpose in coming? Why does His death fiend? Did
He really rise from the dead? And if He did, what was the purpose
of His resurrection? So you have all, and in fact,
our Lord himself asked this question twice. He asked this question
twice. He says, who do men say that
I, the son of man, am? I want to know what people say
about me. What do they consider me to be? Some other manuscript
says many believed on him, and yet they turn and walk with him
no more. So did they not have real faith? Of course they did.
The very minute he says, you know, to make the plunge of the
line, he says, no man can come unto me except what is given
unto him of my father. They turned and walked no more
with him. And you know, he said, but who do men say that I the
Son of Man am? And I'm telling you just like
it is today. Everybody's got some kind of an answer about
what they think Jesus Christ is. They say, well, he's a weeping,
he weeps an awful lot, he cries an awful lot, he's a sorrowful
man, so he must be like Jeremiah. Some say, boy, he thunders and
says, how you gonna escape the damnation of hell, you serfs
of generations and vipers? Well, he's John the Baptist.
Oh, he thunders. Some say, boy, he's got power.
Oh, he can raise the dead nestle. He must be Elijah. But now, oh,
well, what do you think, Simon Peter? What do the rest of you
fellas think? Oh, I don't care what everybody else says about
you, Lord. I believe, and I'm sure, and I'm sure that thou
art to Christ, the Son of the living God. And I, Lord, look
over here in Matthew. Let me show you another time
that he asked. Here's a question we asked about, you know, people
say they want to believe on me, you know. One fellow said, you
know, I'm going to follow you. Look at Matthew 22 with me. In
verse 41. One fellow said to him one day,
I'm going to follow you. I want to be your disciple. I'm
going to follow you wherever you go. The Lord Jesus said,
well, foxes have holes, birds there have nests, but son of
a man, as my word lays head, said, oh boy, I'll just stay
at the house with my good old comfortable bed. Oh boy, that's what our Lord
Jesus Christ meant when He said this, His whosoever shall call
upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they
call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they
believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And so we're going
to talk about what the Scripture said about Him. But look here
in Matthew 22, 41. While the Pharisees were gathered
together, Jesus asked them, saying, What think ye of Christ? You all got an opinion about
Christ. The Bible, the Old Testament says over and over and over again
that Christ is coming. They was looking for the Messiah.
They was looking for the Christ. They was looking for the Son
of God. They was looking for Him to come. And they say unto Him,
Whose Son is He? What think ye of Christ? Whose
Son is He? They say unto Him, Well, He's the Son of David. And that's true. He is after
the flesh, the Son of David. He has the throne of David. He
saith unto them, How then doeth David in spirit, in his heart,
in his soul, call him Lord? Saying, The Lord said unto Jehovah,
said unto my Lord, my Saviour, Sit thou in my right hand, till
I make thee enemies of your footstool. And David then called him Lord.
How is he his son? And no man was able to answer
him a word, neither dare to ask him any more questions from that
day. That's why our Lord asked him, who do you say I am, and
what think ye of Christ? And that's why I say it's not
enough to just say, well, I believe on Jesus. What do you believe
about Him? What do you know about Him? But
what does the Bible tell us? What does the Scripture tell
us about the person of our Lord Jesus Christ? The Old Testament.
That's what we've got to go by before we come to the New Testament.
The Scriptures call our attention and centers our attention on
Him and calls us to consider Him. The Scriptures bear witness
to Him. And that's what is said over
here in Acts 10.43, said to Him, give all the prophets witness.
To Him, give all the prophets witness. Oh, this word, this
gospel has been preached all over heaven and earth. But this
is what the Old Testament says about him. And this is what the
scripture says about him. That the Lord Jesus Christ is
the fulfillment of all the promises, all the prophecies, and all the
types of the Old Testament. All the prophecies, you know,
in 2 Corinthians 1 20 it says, all the promises of God are in Him, and they're yea,
and they're amen. All of them. Promises of what? Promises of salvation, promises
of justification, promises of deliverance, promises of the
Messiah coming, promises of eternal glory. On and on and on, promises. And beloved, that's why the Lord
says, search the scriptures, for in them you think you have
eternal life. They are those which testify of me. And our
Lord Jesus, when He was with the disciples on the Emmaus Road,
and then after He met with His disciples there in the house,
He took the scriptures. He said He opened their understanding
to the scriptures beginning at Moses. And the Psalms and the prophets,
all things written concerning himself. And you take Peter on
the day of Pentecost. You look at everything he preached
there from there. Everything, every scripture he
used was an Old Testament scripture about the Lord Jesus Christ.
He found that they all bore witness to him. And when Paul began the
first, when he first began to preach, you know what the first
thing he did? He reasoned from the scriptures. that Jesus of
Nazareth is indeed the Christ, the Son of God. Well, he was
promised to be the Messiah, to be the Savior, to be the Redeemer. He was promised in Genesis 3.15,
he says, I'll put thee in between thy seed and the seed of the
woman. So Christ was sent here as the seed of the woman. The
first promise in the Bible concerns the blessed Son of God. Seed
of a woman. And then not only is He the seed
of the woman, but He's the seed of Abraham. He's the seed of
Abraham. When God told Abraham, He said,
Abraham, I'm going to give you a seed. I'm going to give you
a son. And in your son, because of Him, you'll be the father
of many nations. Everybody will call you blessed.
And He had Isaac. Isaac wasn't that one. And Isaac
had Jacob. Jacob wasn't that one. But Paul
said this in Galatians, and he says, when God told Abraham,
and to thy seed, which is not many, but seed, which is what?
Which is Christ. And so he was the promised seed.
And then he was promised to sit on David's throne. He told David,
he said, I'll raise up a man, a king to sit on your throne,
and his dominion will be from everlasting to everlasting. And
according to the flesh, he was made according to the seed of
David. And, O beloved, listen, as the
tribe of Judah, he came into this world as the rightful heir
to the throne of David. Over there in England, they got
that paper queen and paper king. And they've got a half a dozen
people, you know, waiting in line to become king. The old
lady's going to outlive them. But you know, the thing is, there's
a whole bunch of heirs to the throne. A whole bunch of them. But Christ is the only heir to
David's throne. And the only reason God raised
David up was to show Christ that Christ would be the one to inherit
David's throne. The one man after God's own heart. Chosen out of the people and
exalted and destroyed all of his enemies. And oh, beloved,
and the prophet spoke about him. You know, it says this, God said,
I'll give them a sign, and a virgin shall conceive and bear a son. And you know, the NIV and the
revised standard, they call it young woman. Any young woman
can have a baby. You know, you say, you know,
a young woman has a son. You know, it's a difference,
a whole lot of difference between saying a virgin and a young woman.
And that wouldn't be no sign in a young woman having a child.
But that would certainly be a sign in a virgin having a son. And
it says that when he comes into this world, you shall call his
name Emmanuel. What does that mean? God is with
us. God sent him to be a light to
the Gentiles. And he says the law would never
depart from Judah until Shiloh come. And you know the law never
did depart from Judah until Christ came and Christ was crucified
and Christ was raised and then they destroyed Israel? And then scripture said, you
look at it in Genesis 49, and it says this, and to him, to
Shiloh, this lawgiver, this one who, this peace bringer, to him
shall all the people gather. To him. We're not going to gather
around Judah. We're not talking about Judah,
we're talking about the Lord Jesus, wasn't it? And, oh, beloved,
He's called the Angel of the Covenant. Let me show you something
in Malachi 3. The Scripture shows how it confronts
us with Him, His person, His person, His persons, and all
the things it says about His person. Next week, we'll deal
with His incarnation. His incarnation. And, oh, look what it says here.
He's called the angel of the covenant. I've seen something
the other day of Exodus. I think it's 23, maybe 22. And he's called the angel of
the covenant there. He's called the angel that God
has sent before him four or five times. And that word angel is
capitalized. How he'd go before him and destroy
all of his enemies and go before him and be their guide, go before
him and comfort him, go behind him and oh, how he'd take care
of him, show him the way. So he's the angel of the covenant.
He was the angel that got a hold of Jacob. But look what it says
here in Malachi 3.1. Talking about our Lord Jesus. Behold, I will send my messenger,
and he shall prepare the way before me. That's John the Baptist.
And the Lord whom you seek, that Messiah, shall suddenly come
to his temple. Even the messenger of the covenant,
whom you delight in, behold, he shall come, saith the Lord." And one day, he was in the temple. Next thing you know, he got a
cord, and he was whipping those scholars and running them out
of there. And they said, what in the world does this mean?
It means that the zeal of thine house has eaten me up. This is
my Father's house, and you've turned it into a den of thieves.
And, oh, beloved, that's what we're talking about, our Lord
Jesus Christ. He's the Messiah, He's the One
Beloved, promised, promised, promised. Names is given to Him. Isaiah says, Thou shalt call
His name Wonderful, Counselor, the Mighty God. The Everlasting Father and the
Prince of Peace. How in the world? That's why
so many things, you've got these contradictions. Here he is, he's
the mighty God and the Everlasting Father, and yet he's the Son
of God. How can he be the Son of God
and the Everlasting Father? And you know, he's the conquering
king. He's the one who defeated all of his foes, and yet at the
same time he defeats all his foes, and he's despised and rejected
of men. He's a man of sorrow. How can
that be? How can someone with the power
and authority over everything on this earth, how can he be
despised and rejected and be delivered unto death? Isaiah
63. You know, here's death. The Scriptures tell us he was
to be despised and rejected. And yet, beloved, he would die,
but he would not die for himself. He would die, but he would not
die for himself. In all the Scriptures, it's so.
And it tells us where he was going to be born, Bethlehem of
Africa. He says, them that sat in darkness,
a great light has arisen. And then when he's going to be
taxed, he says that my son, they brought him up out of Egypt.
His mother and daddy took him to Egypt, brought him back up
out of Egypt. You can go on and on and on and on and on, showing
you that the person of the Lord Jesus Christ is the center of
this book, and he calls all of our attention to him. When you
read the Old Testament, you see him. You see him in creation. God said, let us. God said, let
there be in me. And everything that was made
was made by Him. Who was Him? He was Christ, the Son of God.
The Word made flesh, said to dwell among us. And we beheld
His glory. But look here in Isaiah 63, talking
about Christ dying, but not for Himself. Who is this that cometh
from Edom? Who died garments from Basra?
This that is glorious in his apparel, traveling in the greatness
of his strength, I that speak in righteousness, my Jesus saves. Wherefore art thou reddened on
apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the white
fat? I have trodden the winepress alone, and of the people none
was with me. For I will tread them in my anger,
and trample them in my fury, and their blood shall be sprinkled
upon my garments, and I will strain all my arraignment for
the day of vengeance is in my heart, and the year of my redeemed
is come. And I looked, and there was none
to help, and I wondered, and there was none to uphold me.
Therefore, my own arm brought salvation unto me, and my fury
did upheld me." Oh, our Lord Jesus Christ did it all. You know, it told us how he would
enter Jerusalem when he came into this world. Not only how
he'd come through the womb of a virgin, but it told us how
he'd entered Jerusalem. It said, Behold, thy King, Meek
and lowly, shall come unto thee, meek, riding upon a colt, the
foal of an ass. And when he come riding in, there's
an ass and a colt, and he's on that colt. He went into Jerusalem. Boy, that's a way for the king
to come in on it, ain't it? But that's what it said. Kings
are not meek and lowly. They've got to have crowns and
they've got to sit on the throne. Let everybody know they've got
the power. That's what Pilate said, I'm the one who's got the
power around here. Our Lord said, you ain't got
any at all. None at all. But our Lord Jesus Christ, when
He rode into Jerusalem, He went meek and lowly. But I don't quote
the fool of an ass. And this tells us the Old Testament
told us that he'd be sold for 30 pieces of silver. And they'd
take that 30 pieces of silver, and they'd go out there and buy
a potter's wheel, and turn it into a graveyard. Scripture's
explicit on that. The Scripture tells us in showing
about his person that they said they'd cast lots for my garments. And there they said, Andrew,
a man's dying. He's dying, he's in agony, and
men are so callous and so cruel and so mean. And you say, well,
listen, there's lots of people who do that today and think nothing
about it. While somebody's dying, shoot them to take a watch off
their hands. Shoot them to take a ring off their finger. I mean, people don't care about
that. But those fellows, Christ the Son of God hanging on a cross,
and they're down there gambling. Well, if I win this, then I get
that garment. If I win this, then you get that
one over there. And they started gambling after he was gone. So
he's closed. And the Scriptures tells us,
the Old Testament tells us what he would utter from the cross. The things that he'd cry from
the cross. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? I thirst. They shall look upon me whom
they have pierced. And it goes on and on and on.
The Scriptures tell us in the Old Testament, talking about
the person of Christ, the Lord Jesus Christ, how the Scriptures
bear witness to Him, the prophets do, and center our attention
on Him. The Bible tells us He was to
be that prophet. They said, when John the Baptist
came, are you that prophet that shall come? He said, oh no, it's
not me. There's a coming one after me.
I'm not worthy to unlatch at his shoe. And oh beloved, that's
why God said he'd be that prophet that I'd put my words in his
mouth. Never think that I'd say what he'd say. He'd tell them. And he says if you don't obey
him, you have nothing but judgment to look forward to. And then
God said this also in the Old Testament. He said he'd be a
high priest forever. There had never been a high priest
that had been a high priest forever. The priest was born. He entered
the priesthood when he was 30. When he got infirm, he got out
of the priesthood. And he would just last until
he died. But he said, I shall be a high
priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. And so you see,
beloved, that's one reason the Scriptures tell us to consider
him. Because he's that prophet, and he's the priest. And another
scripture tells us to consider him on this wise. He's the only
one who can, indeed, reconcile us to God. Nobody else can reconcile
us to God. There's not another soul on the
top side of God's earth that can reconcile us to God. I read
a story today, just today. An old woman was laying dying. And a priest come through there
and thought it was one of his parishioners. He walked in there
and said, Sister, I've come here to absolve you of your sins.
She said, Let me see your hands. She looked at him a long time
and said, No, no, no. No, no. No, no. You ain't going
to take care of my sins. The man who took care of my sins,
he's got scars in his hands. And you ain't got no scars in
your hands. He's the mediator of the new
covenant. Our Lord Jesus Christ says, I'm the way to God. I'm the truth about God. I'm the life of God. And there
ain't no man, no man comes unto the Father but by me. Well, if that's the only way
to go, I can't be confused. I get confused. You bring me
all the other ways, and I say, that can't be right. You know
He said, He said, He said. That's where we go from what
He said. And another reason the Spanish Scriptures give us to
consider about Him is that He holds all things in His hands.
The person of Christ, He has all things in His hands. He says,
all power in heaven and earth is given unto Me. All of it. In Revelation 5, It says that
John cried and said, there's nobody able to open the book.
Our Lord Jesus Christ wretched and got that book out of the
hand of the Father. It had seven seals, sealed on
the backside. Our Lord Jesus Christ broke every
one of those seals and opened that book of God's eternal purpose,
of God's salvation, of God's book of history, everything about
God's purpose. Christ was the only one. that
could open that book and reveal the will and purpose of God concerning
himself. And that's why he said he must
reign until all enemies are put under his feet. Paul said in
Ephesians 1, you remember, he says that God has put all things
under his feet, every dominion, every principality, every power,
and has made him to be the head over the church, which is his
body. So He's the Lord of glory, He's the Lord of history, Jesus
Christ the same today, yesterday, and forever. And I'll tell you
this, too. This is what the Scriptures bear
witness to Him. About this person, about this person. That all judgment,
not only is all authority and all power given to Him, but all
judgment is given to Him. All judgments, you know, ain't
that what Peter said over there? He says, you know, that he's
judged of the quick and the dead. Our Lord Jesus Christ says, the
Father loveth the Son, hath given all judgment into him, into his
hand. And the hour's coming when he'll
judge the world in righteousness by Jesus Christ. He appointed
him to be judge. And that's what I say when we're
talking about the person of Christ. The Scriptures bear witness to
Him. And when we say we believe Him and we trust Him, we're not
just throwing, you know, we're not just got a pie in the sky
kind of a hope. It's a hope that's based upon
a person and how the Scriptures bear witness to Him and point
to Him and tell about Him and all the fulfillment that's in
Him and everything. about Him. And if this Bible
is about Him, well then I can trust Him. And I can see Him
in there. I can find Him in there. Don't you like to do that? Oh,
just love it. Just love it.
