Warm greetings, friends. Near
and far, the Lord Jesus Christ be magnified forever and ever. His loving kindnesses, tender
mercies, and compassions are new every morning. Great is His
faithfulness. His mercy endureth forever. This
is Sinner Save coming at you with the following short evangelistic
gospel message, which is sponsored by preacher Wayne Boyd and the
Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus at First Baptist Church
located in Almonte, Michigan, USA. And God willing, this broadcast
will reach you, Lima Charlie, loud and clear. It is my hope
and prayer unto God most high, the only holy father, that his
only begotten son, Christ Jesus, the Lord our righteousness, be
greatly exalted, that his everlasting gospel be clearly proclaimed,
that the pride of mere flesh and blood men be humbled, and
that his elect saints be greatly encouraged, cheered, edified,
and comforted in these evil and perilous times. Please consider
having paper and pencil handy to jot down the scriptural references
for your own follow-up study. And so we begin with the weekend
gospel message to follow for all hands. Heads up! Please find enclosed encouragement
in so great salvation by the perfect and finished work of
our Lord Jesus Christ in saving poor, needy, and wretched sinners
by his sovereign free grace. That is to say, almighty God
and his unmerited favor to save me and you from our sins and
from hell. Jesus, the bread of life for
the hungry soul. In John's gospel, we find the
seven I am scriptures spoken by Jesus to declare his deity.
Among them, we discover in John 6.35, I am the bread of life. He that cometh to me shall never
hunger and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. Listening
to this, we must conclude that if Jesus is not God, he can hardly
be viewed as a repository of deep humility. Here he declares
himself as the bread, the one who sustains life. What a cheek
to make this claim that is if he is not God. Indeed, when we
read the discourse in John chapter six, we discover that Jesus makes
a sevenfold reference to himself as the bread of life. According
to Jesus, this is the very bread that must be eaten by faith to
receive everlasting life. We should note that the Roman
communion makes much of this discourse to establish her wretched
false doctrine of the mass, so-called. They painstakingly fail, however,
to point out that this discourse has nothing whatsoever to do
with the Last Supper and the breaking of bread. They also
fail to note that Christ's language in this passage is figurative,
not literal, the Lord's Supper not being in existence until
about a year later when he said that. The bread to which Christ
refers is himself. He, as our high priest, offered
himself on the altar of Calvary, redeemed his people, and answered
the sin question as he satisfied the justice of God. When we receive
him by faith alone, we are figuratively eating his flesh and drinking
his blood. In verse 33, he says, for the bread of God is he which
cometh down from heaven and gives life unto the world. The world of believers, that
is. Notice how Jesus referred to himself as he which cometh
down from heaven. By this term, Jesus is again
asserting his deity. In the Old Testament, to come
down from heaven meant a divine descent from the throne of God
to accomplish a task of either grace or judgment. In Genesis
11, verse 4 and 7, for example, God came down in judgment against
the tower of Babel. In Genesis 18, 21, God, regarding
Sodom, says, I will go down now and see whether they have done
altogether according to the cry of it, which has come unto me.
Regarding the people of Israel, in Exodus 3, 8, the Lord says,
I am come down to deliver them. In Exodus 19, 20, God comes down
upon the Mount of Sinai to give his law. In Psalm 18, 9, he bowed
the heavens and came down in answer to cries of distress. Since to come down from heaven
is God's work and prerogative, we once more see the master making
the grand declaration that he is God manifest in the flesh. In summary, Jesus is the bread
of life, is the giver and sustainer of life. That means he is God. Jesus declares he has come down
from heaven. Again, that means he is God.
Jesus claims that union with him is essential to eternal life.
Again, that means he is God. Now, here's the question. Have
we eaten of the bread of life for ourselves? Have we tasted
and see that the Lord is good? Reference Psalm 34 8. Are we
still looking anywhere and everywhere but the gospel for satisfaction?
In Greek mythology, Tantalus was made to stand in a pool of
water right under the branches of a fruit tree. However, when
he tried to reach for fruit, the branches would go higher
and out of his reach. When he tried to drink a sip
of water, the waters of the pool would recede, a symbol of utter
frustration. His name is immortalized in the
English word tantalize. So too, the world may at times
tantalize the child of God. It promises much but delivers
nothing. Only Christ can give us a cleansed
conscience. Only Christ can remove our guilt
and give us genuine peace. Only Christ can give abundant
life. He is the bread of life. And
that's the gospel truth. That was from preacher Miles
McKee. Philippians 2.13, it is God which worketh in you both
to will and to do of His good pleasure. It is the peculiar
blessing of every new creature in Christ Jesus to be renewed
in knowledge. As the soul advances in the divine
life, he more clearly understands the heights and depths of the
mysteries of God's grace by the word and spirit of truth. So
also he feels more and more of the workings of the mystery of
iniquity within him. Therefore, he has done He has
done with talking of his own so-called free will and works
of righteousness, having any share in obtaining grace. These
notions are the weeds of nature. They spring from pride. Pride
is interwoven with our very constitution and being. This opposes and rebels
against our own mercies, even the free grace truths of the
true gospel. but it is the exercise of faith
to submit to the righteousness of Jesus, to bow to the sovereignty
of God's will, and to adore his spirit, who worketh in us to
will and to do of his own good pleasure. O disciple of Jesus,
how art thou sweetly constrained to own this from the rich experience
of the truth upon thy own soul? What is the natural bent of thy
will but to reject Jesus, the Lord of life and glory? Its language
is, I will not have this man to reign over me. I have other
and better lovers, and after them I will go. I will enjoy
the pleasures of sin. I will love the world. I will
take my full swing in the gay delights, the pleasing prophets,
in glorious honors of it. I will be saved in my own way,
for my own works. I will not be indebted to be
saved by grace holy. Thus the natural will of man
speaks plain by its affections and actions through the darkness
of the understanding. Thy will was to destroy thyself. It was the will of the Lord to
save thee in Christ Jesus. Therefore, in the day of his
power, the Holy Spirit made thee willing. See Psalm 110 verse
three, made thee willing to come to Jesus for life and salvation.
With free choices and cheerful willingness, thou camest in faith
as a perishing sinner to a precious Savior. Wilt thou anymore ascribe
any glory to thy will? Wilt thou ever suffer thy power
to share in the trophies of thy Lord? Nay, shall not free, sovereign,
and unmerited grace have all the glory? Is not this the daily
humble prayer of thy soul? Leave me not, O Lord, to myself,
for without thee, O Jesus, I can do nothing, nothing but sin against
thee, and wound my own soul. If thou truly delightest in the
law of God after the inward man, it is the delight of thy soul
to do those things which are pleasing in his sight. Ever put
this soul-humbling, grace-exalting question to thy heart. Who made
me to differ? What have I that I have not received? I have nothing in myself, we're
up to glory. A glory in him who saith, I will work. And who shall
let it? Isaiah 43, 13. Excellent message,
old time preacher, William Mason, about the year of our Lord, 1780. Whatever my God ordains is right. His holy will abideth. I will
be still, whatever he doth, and follow where he guideth. He is
my God. Though dark my road, he holds
me that I shall not fall. Wherefore to him I leave it all.
Whatever my God ordains is right. He never will deceive me. He
leads me by the proper path. I know He will not leave me.
I take content what He hath sent. His hand can turn my griefs away.
Impatiently I wait His day. Whatever my God ordains is right.
His loving thought attends me. No poison can be in the cup that
my physician sends me. My God is true, each morn anew. I'll trust his grace unending,
my life to him commending. Whatever my God ordains is right.
He is my friend and father. He suffers not to do me harm. Though many storms may gather,
now I may know both joy and woe. Someday I shall see clearly that
he hath loved me dearly. Whatever my God ordains is right. Though now this cup in drinking
may bitter seem to my faint heart, I take it all unshrinking. My
God is true, each morn anew. Sweet comfort yet shall fill
my heart, and pain and sorrow shall depart. Whatever my God
ordains is right. Here shall my stand be taken,
though sorrow, need, or death be mine, yet I am not forsaken. My Father's care is round me
there. He holds me that I shall not fall. And so to him I leave
it all. Beautiful, praise God. That was
from preacher Samuel Radagast, year of our Lord, 1676. Matthew 14, 12. And his disciples
came and took up the body and buried it and went and told Jesus. Thus was extinguished the burning
and shining light, John Baptist. It is very staggering to the
eye of sense and to the judgment of carnal reason that the Lord,
whose eyes are over the righteous, should yet suffer his faithful
ministers and dearest children to fall a sacrifice to the rage
and malice of cruel and unreasonable men. This puzzled the royal prophet
David. This was an exercise to patient
job and it has been put uh, it has put disciples to the stand
in all ages When we are ready to cry out Where is the god of
elijah when it comes near home? And when we ourselves are the
subjects of insults and injuries from the power and malice of
enemies to jesus and his truths This is a trial of faith If this
exercise is continued if the enemy triumphs our god and God
our Father appears not as our deliverer, how does Satan, who
has stirred up fightings without industriously aimed to inject
fears within, with, where is now thy God, here Satan speaks,
why dost thou vainly imagine thyself a child of God, while
thy Father leaves thee in this cruel treatment? If thou wast
in his favor, thou wouldst surely find his protection. The want
of his care proves thou hast no part in his love, so says
the deceiver. Now thou art called, O Christian,
to fight and resist Satan steadfastly in the faith. Judge not of thy
father's love by present dispensations. Strengthen thyself in thy God.
Consult his word. Wait on him. Take up the deceitful,
unclean body of sense and carnal reason, bury it, and go and tell
thy savior. He is thy wisdom, thy counselor,
and a perfect match for the subtlest adversary. It is very alleviating
to a distressed mind to pour his complaints into the sympathizing
breast of a faithful friend. That's Christ Jesus. What is
the cause of thy sorrows? Make the subject of thy free
converse with thy savior. If thou art smitten on earth,
tell him who feels for thee in heaven. Here is thy comfort. He always hears. he ever loves,
and he can instantly deliver. But if he does not, rest assured,
love delays for thy profit. Afflictions are blessings in
disguise. We do not so heartily think of
our home above while richly furnished with earthly comforts below.
Our Lord strips us of them to turn our thoughts homeward. But we shall surely find, as
tribulation abounds, consolation shall much more abound. Our Lord
advises, call upon me in the day of trouble, and I will deliver
thee, and thou shalt glorify me. What a promise. That was
from Psalm 50, verse 15. Prize it as your greatest blessedness
to live near the Lord and maintain humble converse with him. Pour
out your complaints. and show him your trouble. That's
from reference Psalm 142. Lord, we adore thy vast designs,
the obscure abyss of providence, too deep to sound with mortal
lines, too dark to view with feeble sense. When thou arrayest
thine awful face in angry frowns without a smile, we through thy
clouds believe thy grace, secure of thy compassion still. Another
great message from preacher William Mason. And this message is entitled
Paths of Righteousness. Psalm 23, three, he leadeth me
in the paths of righteousness for his name sake. The good shepherd
of the sheep leads his flock in those righteous paths ordered
of the father and established by the son. As it is written
in Psalm 37, 23, the steps of a good man are ordered by the
Lord and he delights to walk there in. Christ is that good
man sent to the Father to take every step necessary to finish
the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation
for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and
to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy.
Daniel 9, 24. In Psalm 40, verse eight, Christ
said, I delight to do thy will, O God. He who for the joy set
before him endured the cross, despising the shame, Hebrews
11, 6, that he might lead his sheep in righteous paths. Micah
6, 8 defines those paths. He has shown thee, O man, what
is good and what does the Lord require of thee, but to do justly
and to love mercy and to walk humbly with thy God. Those who
walk the path of justice, look to Christ's righteousness imputed
alone for salvation. Those who walk the path of mercy,
bow the knee at the mercy seat, crying, Lord, propitiate for
me. Those who walk the path of humility
do so knowing their deservedness of eternal death. Does my walk
equal this talk? It does only if my motive is
grace and gratitude for the law and justice Christ satisfied
for me. The propitiation he made for me and the gift of eternal
life he earned for me when he humbled himself and became obedient
unto death, even the death of the cross. I follow in paths
of righteousness when I follow his voice in Isaiah 30, 21. And thine ears shall hear a word
behind thee saying, this is the way, walk ye in it when ye turn
to the right hand and when ye turn to the left. The good shepherd
leads us in paths of righteousness. He is before us. If we hear a
word behind us, we have turned to the right or left. We seek
to follow the shepherd. His direction is always the same.
I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man cometh to the
father but by me, said the master in John 14 6. Walk ye in the
righteous paths. Excellent message from old-timer
Winston Pannell. It is written in Isaiah 45, 22,
where our Lord Jesus Christ commands, look unto me and be ye saved,
all the ends of the earth, for I am God and there is none else.
The master also says in Matthew 11, verses 28 through 30, come
unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give
you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn
of me. for I am meek and lowly in heart, and ye shall find rest
unto your souls, for my yoke is easy and my burden is light. Friends, it is imperative that
you flee to Christ Jesus today, not tomorrow, for none of us
are promised another day on this earth. Today is the day of salvation. Call upon the name of the Lord
Jesus Christ while he may be found, and seek him while he
is near. only by being in Christ, the
ark of our salvation. May we be delivered from the
fierce wrath of Almighty God, which is coming soon upon the
wicked. Excuse me, friends. This about
wraps up this evening's broadcast. I trust Almighty God will awaken
His sleeping elect and draw multitudes of men, women, and children around
the world to His only begotten Son, Christ Jesus, the Lord our
righteousness. Yehovah Sidkenu. Bless the name. Baruch Hashem. Holy One of Israel. Hagadosh Yisrael. Hallelujah. If you are led of the Lord to
