Well, it is certainly my delight to be here with y'all this evening. I, I appreciate you more than, you know, if you would open your Bibles with me to Exodus chapter 31 at home, I've been for some time going through the book of Exodus. And when I got to this chapter 31 and I read through it for the first time, I was fascinated at the wisdom of our God in setting forth the glory of his son in this chapter. Just absolutely fascinated. It's the best word that I can think of to describe. And I trust it'll be a blessing to you as it has been to me as I've been studying this chapter.

I titled the message, Christ Our Sabbath Rest. And I'll tell you up front that my goal in preaching tonight is to glorify Christ so well that every single one of us go home enjoying rest in Christ. Every believer has rest in Christ. I want us to go home enjoying it, enjoying rest in Christ. And I really can't think of a better time to bring a message like this to the midweek service where From Sunday to now, you've been out in the world, you've been with your own sinful self, and it's been tough. Well, I want to send you home tonight enjoying rest in Christ.

Now, at the end of chapter 30, the Lord ended 40 days of instructions to Moses, 40 days giving the law, giving the instructions for building the tabernacle and the furniture, 40 days. And it occurred to me, besides the fact how I'd be frantically taking notes, I can't remember something for 40 days. But besides that, as the Lord gave Moses these instructions, gave him the law, gave him the instructions for building the tabernacle, it had to be in Moses' mind. How are we gonna do this? We don't have the ability to do what the Lord has just given me to do. The children of Israel had spent 400 years as slaves. They weren't skilled labor. At best, maybe they were some sort of stonemasons who could fit stones together or something. But it had to cross Moses' mind, I would think, Who's gonna do all this fine needlework? The sewing for the veil and all. Who's gonna do all this fine sewing and make the high priest garment? Who's gonna hammer all this gold into shape?

You know, the candlestick was a solid piece of gold. It wasn't different pieces put together. It was a solid hunk of gold that somebody hammered out into the shape of that lamp stand But it wasn't just the shade. It had bowls, it had leaves, it had almonds.

Who's going to do all this work? Who's going to be able to do this? The mercy seed, a hunk of solid gold. And somebody hammered that into the shape of the mercy seat with the chair of them, with their wings over top of the mercy seat, causing the shadow over the mercy seat.

And Moses just had to wonder, we don't have anybody with the skill to do this. We can't do this. I'm just sure that crossed Moses' mind. But before Moses asked the question out loud, the Lord gave him the answer. that he is going to provide men, that he's going to give special skills to be able to do all the work that God's commanded. Let's look at it here in Exodus 31 verse one. And the Lord spake unto Moses saying, see, I have called by name, Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Ur of the tribe of Judah.

And I filled him with the spirit of God and wisdom and an understanding and in knowledge and all manner of workmanship. To devise cunning works, to work in gold and in silver and in brass, and in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship. And I, behold, I have given with him a Holyab, the son of Ahasumac, of the tribe of Dan. And in the hearts of all that are wisehearted, I've put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee. the tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy seat that is there upon, and all the furniture of the tabernacle, and the table and his furniture, and the pure candlestick with all his furniture, and the altar of incense, and the altar of burnt offering with all his furniture, and the laver and his foot, and the cloths of service, and the holy garments for heir and the priest, and the garments of his son to minister in the priest's office. and the anointing oil and the sweet incense for the holy place. According to all that I have commanded thee, shall they do." Now, the Lord gave these men special skills to be able to do what he commanded to be done. And you know, that's true of every believer. Every believer has experienced this.

God has commanded us to do that which by nature we cannot do. We cannot believe Christ. We cannot obey the law. We cannot repent. We cannot do anything to please God. God has commanded us to believe on the name of his son, and we can't do it. So God gives us the faith to do what he commanded to do. God's commanded us to repent, to turn to Christ from our idols and we cannot and will not do it.

Our Lord said, both you will not come unto me that you might have life and you cannot come unto me that you might have life. So the Lord reaches down his hand and he turns us to Christ. That's why Jeremiah said, Lord, turn me and I'll be turned. When the Lord turns us, he turns us to Christ. He gives us the ability to do what we cannot do by nature.

The law tells us plainly we're to love God with all of our heart, mind, soul, and strength, and love our neighbor as ourselves, and we can't do either because we love ourselves so much. So God gives us a new heart and a new birth that does what he commanded us to do, to love him and to love one another.

God's commanded us to be humble before him. Is there anything harder for this flesh than being humble? We can't do it, can we? So God gives his people the humility to do what he told us to do and to bow to him. And these things, whatever it is God's commanded us to do, he's going to give his people the ability to do it. And it's not with natural gifts. We're talking about a supernatural thing here. But the real blessing here is this. This is such a clear picture of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The father has commanded his people to be perfect, to obey his people. He's commanded all sons of Adam to be perfect, to obey the law, to be holy. And we cannot and will not do it. So the father sent his son to do for his people everything he commanded us to do. As our representative, the Lord Jesus Christ did what no son of Adam could ever do. He did everything that the father requires of his people. And since he's our representative, when he did it, we did too.

We did too. God requires perfect obedience to the law. He requires us to do everything exactly as God has said, and we can't do it. Any man's a fool to think that he can obey God's law. And since we cannot do it, God sent his son to do for his people what we cannot do, and obey the law for us.

And not just by that obedience to the law providing a righteousness for us, like he's getting out on a piece of paper and writing out and giving us a certificate saying we're righteous even though we're not. Christ is the righteousness of his people. And when Christ obeyed the law, he literally made his people righteous. Now I'll illustrate that this way. God sees the whole human race in one of two representative men. Either Adam, the first man created, or Christ the second Adam. Now all of Adam's race was in Adam doing what he did in the garden.

When Adam sinned, you and I sinned. When Adam died, you and I died. When he rebelled against God, you and I rebelled against God. All these years later, 6,000 years later, when we're born into this world, we're born as sinners who can do nothing but sin. Can you possibly deny Adam made you a sinner? Can't deny it, can you?

By the same token, When Christ obeyed the law, all of his people obeyed it in him, and he made his people righteous by his obedience to the law for us. God requires perfect holiness. All throughout the tabernacle, there's all this white linen, a picture of holiness. God requires holiness. If you would come into his presence, you must be holy, without which no man shall see the Lord. You and I are unholy. and we can't be anything but unholy. So you know what God did? He sent his son to be the holiness of his people, made holy in Christ. God requires his people to be clean from all the filthiness, all the corruption of our sin.

You know, sin is not just breaking the rules. Sin is a disease. It's a defilement of soul. It's a filthiness of soul. And you and I are filthy in our sin, and we can't do anything to wash ourselves. Everything we try to do to make ourselves clean, we just make ourselves more filthy. We just keep adding sin on top of sin. On top of sin, we cannot clean up our act and present ourselves accepted before the Father.

So God sent his son. to be the laver. The high priest would wash in that laver before he went into the tabernacle. God sent his son to be the laver, where his people are washed white as snow, in both the blood and the water that flowed from his side, washed white as snow. God makes his people to be what he requires. God requires his people to see and believe Christ. We're required to see Christ. But we're born blind. We're in the darkness of unbelief. We're in the darkness of ignorance. We cannot see.

So God sent his son to be the candlestick, to be the light of the world, so that he makes his people see. And if you wonder, has God made me see? Has God made me see? Tell you how you can tell. Do you see Christ? Do you see Christ as everything that you need? Do you see Him as your all and in all? Do you see Him as your only hope? Then God's given you light. He's given you the light of Christ. He's given us what He requires.

God requires there must be redemption paid for our sin. Before time began, the Father elected a people unto salvation, didn't He? But He knew we'd be born sinners. He knew that we would fall in Adam and he requires a redemption price be paid for our sin that's against him. It's only right. But you and I have nothing to pay.

So God sent his son to be the redemption of his people. When he offered himself as a sacrifice for the sin of his people, this is more than just a legal payment, isn't it? Christ is the redemption of His people because He offered Himself to put away the sin of His people. And if this is not one of the best definitions of mercy and grace you've ever heard, tell me one better. You and I sin against God. God requires a payment for our sin to satisfy Him. And then God paid the debt. He paid the debt with his own blood, the blood of his son. Now that's grace. God has sent his son to do everything for us that we cannot do.

God requires we have spiritual life. God's not going to let a dead man into his presence, into his courts, stinking up the place. Can you imagine a body untreated with the chemicals and stuff that they do nowadays, the stench and the offensive sight? God's not going to let that in his presence. But you and I are born dead in sin. And just like a dead man, just like a dead corpse in the casket down there at the funeral home cannot raise himself from the dead, you and I can't give ourselves any spiritual life either.

So God sent his son to be the life of his people. He sent him to guarantee the life of his people. When he died for his people, that means his people can never die. And he is that showbread that we feed on to sustain our life. Not only is Christ our life, he's what we feed on to sustain that life.

God requires a sacrifice for sin. That's the principal activity of all of the tabernacle, the sacrifice for sin. They're offering sacrifice for that sin morning, noon, and night, every day, all these sacrifices. There's got to be a sacrifice for sin.

And it's got to be obvious after all the years of the tabernacle and the temple were in use, we can't offer a sacrifice that pleases God. Oh, we can, we can kill lots of lots of bulls and goats. I heard recently their people, um, I don't know wherever, what part of the world they come from, but like living in this area who still sacrifice Rams, they still kill. I mean, I don't know how they do it, but this, you know, That's what I've been told.

But all those rivers and rivers and rivers and rivers of the blood of bulls and goats and calves and sheep has never taken away one sin. God gave us the law and they gave us these ceremonies as pictures of Christ, but also to show us we can't save ourselves. None of these things take away our sin.

So God sent his son to be the sacrifice for the sin of his people, to fulfill the picture of every sacrifice offered in the Old Testament. And by his sacrifice, he has saved his people, lock, stock, and barrel for eternity. For by one offering, he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified. God sent his son to do the work of redemption, and the father equipped the son to do the job He gave him the spirit without measure and he strengthened him for the work. You know, this is one of these things that we read about in the four gospels. We read about our savior praying. He sometimes would pray all night long. Some of his prayers are recorded.

Most of them are not. But now as God, He needed no help. But when he prayed for his father and asked his father for help, you know, he is there in the garden of Gethsemane, he said, Father, if you don't help me, I'm going to die right here just at the thought of being made a sacrifice for the sin of my people. And the father sent angels to strengthen him. And in the flesh, as a man, he strengthened him. And since the father is the one who equipped him to do the work, He finished the work by Himself. By Himself, He redeemed His people from all of their sin, and then He sat down on the right hand of God, from henceforth expecting to His enemies be made His footstool.

See, Christ didn't come just to build a tabernacle, to build a temple, to build a building. He didn't come to build an earthly kingdom. He came and tabernacled among us. He came so that He could save His people from their sin. He's the true tabernacle which God pitched and not man.

The fulfillment of all these glorious pictures of the tabernacle showing us that salvation is in Christ and Christ alone. It's by His doing and His doing alone. It's by His will and His will alone. Now that is such a, that's the glorious story of the gospel, the glorious story of God's love, his mercy, his grace, his power, his justice. That's the story of the gospel. And that's what all the different pictures of the tabernacle give us. So all those instructions are now ended.

And before the Lord sends Moses back to the children of Israel, he does something so interesting. all the instructions were given, it's all final. The Lord circles back to where he started 40 days ago with the giving of the law and he reiterates one law, one law from the Ten Commandments, the law of the Sabbath. Let's read it here beginning in Exodus 31 verse 12. The Lord spake unto Moses saying, Speak thou also unto the children of Israel saying, Verily my Sabbaths ye shall keep. For it's a sign between me and you throughout your generations that you may know that I am the Lord that does sanctify you. You should keep the Sabbath therefore, for it's holy unto you.

Everyone that defiles it shall surely be put to death. For whosoever doth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. Six days may work be done, but in the seventh is the Sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord. Whosoever doeth any work in the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. Wherefore, the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations for a perpetual covenant."

Now, I thought this is so interesting. Why did the Lord circle back to the law of the Sabbath when all the instructions were done? Why circle back to the law of the Sabbath? You know, the Sabbath that we talk about, I know here he's talking about a day, the Sabbath day of the week, but the Sabbath is not a day. The Sabbath is a person. This Sabbath rest is not a physical rest. It's a spiritual rest.

Look with me at Colossians 2. Colossians 2. Verse 16, what Paul here is talking about, don't let somebody put you back under the law. He says in verse 16, let no man therefore judge you in meat or in drink or in respect of an holy day or of the new moon or of the Sabbath days, which are a shadow of things to come, but the body is of Christ. See, the Sabbath that we're talking about here is a person. We're free from the law in Christ. We rest in him. I try to stress this at home. I don't know how well it goes over. I'm gonna try it out on y'all. I'm speaking to believers here.

You're free from the law. You are free from the law. Free from the law. Don't go back looking at the law to see how you're doing. Because if you look at the law, all you will do is depress yourself. Because when we look at the law, we're going to see, I'm doing horrible. I mean, so horrible I can't be doing any worse. The law was given to show us the exceeding sinfulness of our sin. Do not look to the law as a rule of life or a guide of life. If you're a believer, you look to Christ. You look to Christ, and you follow him. And you'll walk right if you're following him. And don't try to pick out one thing of the law.

And I know the Sabbath days is a real popular thing for that, or at least it used to be. Maybe it's not anymore. I mean, I remember a time where all the restaurants were still closed on Sunday. And I remember people talking about the Christian Sabbath, and you shouldn't work on Sunday. If you cut your grass on Sunday, your grass is going to die and all that. When I was a kid, and I heard Scott Richardson say this, and, you know, I heard Scott preach a lot, and I can't directly quote a whole lot of things that he said, but I can quote this one directly.

He said, don't tell me that my boys can't play basketball on Sunday. If you tell me that, I'm going to make my boys play basketball on Sunday. Now, I like that because teenage Frank, as soon as Sunday dishes were done, was going looking for a game. I wanted to play basketball. That's why I remember that, you know.

But God's right. Don't allow yourself to be put back under the law. All through scripture, the law of the Sabbath is teaching us the importance of resting in Christ. Just rest in Christ. Don't work. Don't do work that you think is going to contribute to your salvation. Don't do work that you think is going to make God more happy with you than if you didn't do it. rest in Christ alone. This is why all of the law was given to show us we can't keep it, to show us our need of Christ so that we'll run to Christ, begging him for mercy, begging him for forgiveness, begging him for grace.

I really don't think it's going too far to say that all of the law, every commandment of the law points us back to the law of the Sabbath. Every individual commandment of the law shows us, I need Christ to do this for me. I need to rest in Christ who finished the work.

And resting in Christ, that's the sign. That's the evidence that somebody really knows Christ. Back in our text, in verse 17, it said, this is a sign between me and the children of Israel forever. This is the evidence that you know Christ. If you know Christ, you're resting in Him, and you think your righteousness is filthy rags.

Those best things that you could ever do, those most religious-sounding things, the most kind things, the most orthodox things, those things are filthy rags if they're done trying to make God happy with us and add to our salvation or earn our salvation.

I'll say this. Believers work. Believers work. They're an industrious people. You work to take care of one another. You work to show your love one to another. You work to be faithful, but don't do it during a righteousness. Do it because you're thankful. Do it because you love God. Do it because you love Christ. Do it because you love his people. But motive is the thing that's critical here. If you're doing it, trying to add to your righteousness, God says you'll be condemned.

So don't do that. Look at Hebrews chapter four. Hebrews four. 9. Now you know I say that you're not to keep Saturday as a Sabbath, you're not to keep Sunday as the Christian Sabbath, but that doesn't mean there's not a rest.

Verse 9 says, there remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that has entered into his rest, he also has ceased from his own works as God did from his. Let us labor therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

Now believers are to rest in Christ. We rest in Christ because he already did everything God requires of us. He did it for his people. Now rest in him. The work is finished. And this labor, this resting in Christ, it's automatic. It's automatic for the believer to rest in Christ. But it's also a labor. See, the believer has two natures. There's an old man and there's a new man. And that old man will never believe God. He'll never trust Christ. He'll never bow. He'll never submit.

He'll always want to use his works and add them to the work of Christ to earn his salvation. That old man's insistent that his works be accepted as part of his salvation. So the new man has to labor. The word means earnestly fight against. Don't let your old man, he's constantly trying to bring you back under the works of the law.

He's constantly trying to get you to do something that even if you don't say so out loud, secretly you think, God saw that. God's happy with me for doing that. You know what that is? The writer here says that's unbelief. trying to add our works to Christ, you think that sounds so religious. The scripture says it's unbelief.

Brethren, be free from that and rest in Christ. Rest in it. And like I said to open the message, I want us to enjoy being able to rest in Christ. Rest from our works of righteousness. Rest trying to do what we cannot do anyway and earn a righteousness before God And just trust Christ. Just trust Christ. And do you know, not only is that a good idea, not only would that make the believer's life happier and more peaceful to rest in Christ, but it's more than just a good idea.

Do you know this is a commandment from our Savior? Look at Matthew chapter 11. Our Savior, without question has commandments to his people, but you'll not find one of them that's grievous. His commandments are all a joy to his people. Look here at Matthew 11 verse 28.

Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Now that's not an invitation. That's a commandment. Now to quote Brother Fortner, it's a sweet sounding commandment to someone who's heavy laden and poor and needs rest. But this is a commandment. You come unto me. You come to Christ. And coming to Christ simply means believing. You come to Christ right where you're sitting. In the heart, you believe him. And he said, I'll give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Learn of me, for I'm meek and lowly in heart. and you shall find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

Now our God, our Savior, commands us to come to Christ. But you remember I quoted that earlier about the Lord said, you will not come unto me that you might have life. So again, the Lord enables his people to do what he's commanded us to do. He draws us to Christ. Oh, I've loved you with an everlasting love, he said. Therefore with loving kindness have I drawn you." He commands us to come and then he draws us to come, draws us to come to Christ. See, he does for us everything he commands us to do.

That ought to give us such rest, shouldn't it? Look back here in our text at the end of verse 13. He says, now you're going to keep this, this sign, this token of the Sabbath throughout your generations. that you may know that I am the Lord that does sanctify you. The Lord Jesus Christ sanctifies his people. He makes them holy. Now, if the Lord has made you holy, if the Lord Jesus Christ has made you holy, he made you holy by giving you a holy nature in the new birth. Your flesh is not holy. It never will be. That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That's all it'll ever be is dead sinful flesh. But the way God makes his people holy is by giving them a new nature in the new birth. The nature of Christ, whatever you want to call it, it's a holy nature.

Now, if God's made you holy, what are you working for to make yourself holy? Christ. He is your holiness. And you know, if we, if we try to add our works to, to, to make ourselves more holy than we are in Christ alone. And what that is, is adding our works to Christ. We've ruined it. Don't think, well, yeah, Christ has made me holy. I've got the righteousness of Christ, but I'll get some extra credit here. If you try to get extra credit from your works, you'll ruin it.

And the best example that, that I can think of is You ladies may well understand this. I don't know if all men are as Neanderthals as me, but I don't understand a lot of things around the house. I think, well, that's fine. Janet says, no, that's atrocious, it can't be.

But imagine a nice white sheet or nice white tablecloth. You know, it's springtime, and in our spare bedrooms, Janice changing all the sheets from flannel sheets to these nice, white, crisp sheets, so that when the girls come home, they got these nice, white sheets, you know, to sleep on. Well, imagine if one of them got torn. One of those sheets had a big tear in it.

And I went out in the garage and found an old rag that's dirt with got oil on it and dirty. And, and I, I'm going to do Janet a favor here. I'm going to sew this thing over that hole. Is that going to be acceptable in your house? That's what we do when we think, when we say, oh, I can add my works to Christ and I'll get a little extra credit. I'll be a little more holy. I'll be a little more accepted. What we've done is ruined it. Because unlike my illustration, one of our sheets could get a hole in it. The righteousness of Christ can't. There's no patch that needs to be done to that. No additions need to be added. It's perfect.

And if we try to add to it, God says you'll be condemned. If that's our motive. Now, if your motive is to do something to help folks and you're serving God out of love and faith, that's what we ought to do. That's a different thing. But if your motive is to add to the righteousness of Christ and make yourself more acceptable to God, you've ruined it. and you'll be condemned.

Now here's a good reason to rest. Rest because there's no more work left to do. I've been on, you know, all my life, I've considered myself a very energetic, maybe too much energy kind of guy, you know. And some couple years ago I was, Diagnosed with with prostate cancer and they've given me these hormone treatments to make the the cancer go away And boy, I'm telling you I got a lesson in humility. I got no more energy So anytime I am doing some work around the house, I mean, I've got to work 10 minutes and rest I've got to work 10 minutes and rest That would have driven your dad crazy. But this is what I've got to, I got to work a few minutes and rest.

I don't think I've ever gotten to the point I can rest because there's no more work left to do. But in Christ we rest because there's no more work left to do. Look here in our text, Exodus 31 verse 17. It's a sign between me and the children of Israel forever.

For in six days, the Lord made heaven and earth. On the seventh day, he rested and was refreshed. And he gave unto Moses when he'd made an end of commuting with him upon Mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone written with the finger of God. Now God tells Moses, here's why you're observing the Sabbath on the seventh day, because God created the world in six days. Now on the seventh day, he rested.

And God didn't rest because he was tired. You know, it says here, and he was refreshed. I got no idea what that means. I know God wasn't tired, so I don't know what that means. The reason God rested is there was no more work left to do. And when God looked at everything that he had created, Not only was the work finished, he said, it was very good. It was very good. It was perfect. And he rested because the work was finished in perfection.

Now, brethren, let's rest from trying to earn our own righteousness, from trying to earn our own salvation, because there's no more work left to do. All that's left to do is rest in Christ. All that's left to do is believe him. So enjoy this rest that our Savior has given us. Enjoy rest from fear of condemnation. First of all, we rest from trying to come up with works that we think will please God. Rest from that. Christ has already finished the work for you. And if you trust Christ, you rest from the fear of condemnation. Whenever we start fearing condemnation, we start thinking, oh, you know, I'm going to die. And am I going to face God in judgment and find out, you know, I'm condemned and God should condemn me. Look at all my sin. Look how bad I am. Look how weak I am. Look how no count I am. Whenever a believer fears condemnation, you know why that is?

We're looking at self, not looking at Christ. Rest from fear of condemnation by looking to Christ. By trusting Him, He made peace for us by the blood of His cross. The Father's not angry because the blood of Christ took away the sin that made God angry and Christ was condemned in your place so that you never will be. Now rest from that fear of condemnation. Just look to Christ. Enjoy rest from being afraid of being cast out of God's presence. Again, whenever we're afraid of that, the reason is we're looking at ourselves. Look to Christ.

We're accepted, how? Are we accepted in our doctrine? Are we accepted in our faithfulness? Are we accepted in our love for God or our love for one another? None of that. We're accepted in the beloved. Now look to Christ and rest in him. He was cast out from his father's presence. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? He was cast out of God's presence and he cried that from the cross so you and I would know he was cast out of his father's presence. And if our substitute was cast out of our father's presence for us, we never will be.

Now rest from that. Rest from fear. that God is finally, one day, gonna get so fed up with you, you've dried up all the mercy and grace and forgiveness that He's got for you, and He's finally gonna cast you aside. Rest from that. Hebrews 7, verse 25.

Wherefore, He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them." You don't have to fear that God's finally not going to forgive you because your Savior is sitting in His Father's right hand making intercession for you. And it's not hard work for Him. He's not just in panic, looking around all his people sinning and saying, Father, forgive this one, forgive this one, forgive this one, forgive this one. He sits there with the scars still in his body from where he was crucified. He sits calmly. He sits there ruling and reigning in his regal glory with those scars in full view of the Father. And the Father always says, forgiven. It's enough. Now rest. Rest.

If you trust Christ, be thankful. God gave you that trust. God gave you that faith. And you won't find a believer anywhere who's satisfied with my faith. I'm not satisfied with how I trust Christ. I do. But now, Bill, I'm ashamed of it. I mean, I believe. I believe. Help thou mine unbelief. But if you trust Christ, you give thanks. You trust Christ because God gave you that faith. And enjoy. Enjoy the rest.

Enjoy the peace that Christ has given to us. This world is a tough place to live. I mean, it's tough, isn't it? I mean, it's a tough place to live. The only thing that will make this journey from here to there sweeter is this, rest in Christ, trust in Christ, and I pray God will enable all of us to do it. All right, Lord bless you.
