Warm greetings, friends, near
and far! The Lord Jesus Christ be magnified
forever and ever! His love and kindnesses, tender
mercies and compassions are new every morning. Great is His faithfulness! His mercy endureth forever! This is sinner saved coming at
you with the following short evangelistic gospel message which
is sponsored by preacher Wayne Boyd and the Brethren in Christ. at First Baptist Church located
in Elmont, Michigan, USA. And God willing, this broadcast
will reach you, Lima Charlie, loud and clear. 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. Behold the man, John 19 five. Then came Jesus forth wearing
the crown of thorns and the purple robe and Pilate saith unto them,
behold the man. If there is one place where our
Lord Jesus Christ most fully becomes the joy and comfort of
His people, it is where He plunged deepest into the depths of woe. Come, behold the man in the garden
of Gethsemane. Behold his heart so brimming
with love that he cannot hold it in. Behold the bloody sweat
as it distills from every pore of his body and falls upon the
ground. Behold the man upon the bloody
tree. Stand amazed as they drive the
nails into his hands and feet. Look up and see the sorrowful
image of your suffering Lord. Mark him as the ruby drops stand
on the thorn crown. Behold the man when all his bones
are out of joint and he's poured out like water and brought into
the dust of death. God hath forsaken him and hell
encompasses him. Behold and see was there ever
sorrow like his sorrow. Gaze upon him. We have only to
sit longer at the cruel cross to be less troubled with our
trials and woes. We have but to see his sorrows,
and we shall be ashamed to mention our sorrows. We have but to gaze
into his wounds and heal our own. If we would grow in grace,
it must be by considering his humiliation and his sorrow. If
we would live wholly, It must be by the contemplation of his
sin-atoning death. Behold the man, Christ Jesus,
the God-man mediator, our surety, our substitute, our sin-bearer,
our savior, our chief shepherd, our all in all. The great controversy. between
God and man has been, whether he or they shall be God, whether
his reason or theirs, his will or theirs shall be the guiding
principle. If anything could frustrate God's
will, then it would be superior to him. God would not be omnipotent,
and so would lose the perfection of the deity, and consequently
the deity itself. For that which did wholly defeat
God's will will be more powerful than he. To be God and yet inferior
to another is a contradiction. That was from preacher Stephen
Charnock. Excuse me, friends. This next short message is blessed
by God's choice. We preach election because there
is not a single blessing that comes to us from the hand of
our Redeemer that is not stamped with the hand of God's electing
love. The scriptures say, God hath blessed us according as
he hath chosen us, Ephesians 1, verses 3 and 4. Again, he
hath chosen us that we should be holy, Ephesians 1, 4. Again,
the God of our fathers hath chosen thee that thou shouldest know
his will, Acts 22, 14. It is NOT in ourselves that these
blessings are contained. We have them because of our union
with Christ, and we are united with Christ because of the Father's
divine and sovereign choice. That was from preacher Henry
Mahan. We gather round this table in
remembrance of our King, the bread and wine we will receive
and praise to Jesus bring. Remember that upon the cross,
God's law, he satisfied. For us, the Savior shed his blood,
gave up the ghost and died. Remember that his sacrifice for
sheep that went astray has reconciled us to our God and washed our
sins away. So let us feast upon the bread
and drink the wine of joy. O may the worship of the Lord
our thankful hearts employ. That was written by a preacher,
Jim Bird. This next article is of interest. It's entitled Old Age. Let us
correct our attitude toward getting older. Believers must not allow
the carnal thinking of this world to form our opinions and attitudes. The reason so much emphasis is
placed upon youth, physical strength and beauty, riches and possessions,
is because this is all that the worldling has, and when these
are gone, all is gone. Actually, age, while it mars
outward beauty, should bring us real, lasting beauty. which
is inward grace, mercy, and peace. Age will decrease our physical
strength, but should increase our spiritual strength. We grow
in faith, love, and patience. Age may make our arms weak and
trembly, but it should establish us more firmly on the everlasting
arms. Age may make the present less
sure, but it gives us assurance of the certainty of the future.
I'll always be young in Christ. My steps may be slower, but I
walk with the King. My eyes may be dimmer, but as
I see less of the world, I see more of my Lord. My ears may
be dull, but when I hear his voice more clearly, my body may
be weak, but I am stronger in faith. I know not the latest
story, but I know the old, old story a little better. I may
not be surrounded by as many human admirers, but I am surrounded
by a heavenly host which waits to take me home. Hallelujah. Another one from preacher Henry
Mahan, 1 Corinthians 11, 24. This do in remembrance of me. said the master. What was done
in remembrance of the Saviour? You will recall that his brethren
ate the unleavened bread and drank the wine of communion.
The Saviour said to them concerning the bread, Take, eat, this is
my body. Matthew 26 verse 26 The bread
symbolized his body, though it certainly did not become his
actual flesh as some foolishly imagined. The body that God prepared
for Him was to be wounded and bruised in His crucifixion for
our sins. As the bread had no leaven, our
Savior had no sin of His own, but He took upon Himself the
sins of all His people. And as the bread had to be baked
in an oven, So the Savior was to endure the extreme heat of
the wrath of God. He bore the guilt of His people,
therefore His body and soul had to suffer inexplicable pain and
agony. Then the Lord took the wine,
saying unto His disciples, Drink ye all of it, for this is My
blood of the New Testament. which is shed for many for the
remission of sins. Excuse me, that was Matthew 26
verses 27 through 28. In Hebrews 9.22 it is written,
without shedding of blood there is no remission of sins. The
Savior, when inaugurating this ordinance, used these words,
this do in remembrance of me, Luke 22, 19. This do, not something
else. There was a blessed simplicity
to this ordinance. You will notice that there was
no demonstrative hand-waving action. There was no religious
mumbo-jumbo pronounced over these two elements. The Savior did
not get up from the table and put the bread on the tongues
of his brethren. Each one ate the bread that was passed before
them and drank the wine that also passed before them. It was
a simple ordinance which continues to teach a profound lesson. The
bread and wine tell us that the only way God could be a just
God and a Savior was for the Lord Jesus Christ to willingly
give His body, His blood and soul over to divine justice to
be punished for the sins of His people. There was no other way
whereby our iniquities could be paid for and put away. The
cruel death of the cross was necessary to satisfy the claims
of justice which demanded death for sin. We read in Galatians 3.13, Christ
hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse
for us. For it is written, Cursed is
everyone that hangeth on a tree. In addition to teaching us the
way of salvation through the bloody sacrifice of Christ, this
ordinance also illustrates the God-given faith that saves. When we partake of this ordinance,
we shall willingly eat the bread and drink the wine, we will receive
these elements into our bodies. The faith that God grants us
receives into our innermost being, the person and work of Christ,
for we rely solely upon Him and His work of redemption to save
us. As we will take the bread and drink the wine, so every
believer receives Christ as prophet, priest, and king. He is received
as the way, the truth, and the life, and we are made to realize
that no man cometh to the Father but by Christ, John 14, 6. That
was from preacher Jim Bird of 13th Street Baptist Church, located
in Ashland, Kentucky, USA. I'm sorry, brother. It is written, 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. And the master, Christ Jesus, also says in Matthew 11,
28 through 30, come unto me, all you 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 you 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 planet. 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.
This about wraps up this evening's broadcast. I trust Almighty God
will awaken his sleeping elect and draw multitudes today 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,
the Holy One of Israel. Hakadosh Yisrael. Hallelujah. If you are a letter of the Lord
