That's a good prayer for us,
isn't it? Oh Lord, remember us. All right, open your Bibles,
again if you would, to Philippians chapter two, the passage Brother
Gary just read for us. I have a subject this morning
that I love to preach about and I love to think about. The kingship
of Christ. I've titled the message Christ
Exalted. I love to think about Christ
our Savior, exalted. The Lord Jesus Christ, our Savior,
has been exalted by his Father to be Lord over all. He's Lord, he's King over everything
that you can think of. And I'll tell you why I like
to think about that. The kingship of Christ, that he is Lord over
everything that you can think of. is because if the Lord Jesus
Christ is not king of all, if he's not Lord over everything,
then we have no gospel to preach. We have no reason to hope in
Christ or to believe in Christ, to cast our soul upon him. But
if the father has raised up his son to be king over all, then
we have a gospel to preach. We have good news to tell. And
we have a sure hope of salvation. Our hope of salvation It's not
a wish, it's an expectation of glory. It's something that must
happen since Christ is raised to be king over all. Since the
Lord Jesus Christ is king over all, there's peace and there's
comfort and there's assurance to preach to the hearts of God's
people. I reckon if Christ wasn't king
over all, what would we have to preach? I mean, nothing of any value.
I guess we'd have to preach the law. Beat God's people up, beat
people up, you know, with the law. There's no enjoyment in
that. There's no comfort and peace
in that. But there's comfort, and there's peace, and there's
assurance if Christ the Savior is king over all. And that's
what I pray the Spirit will enable me to do this morning. Now, before
we look at the exaltation of Christ, we have to see why is
it that Christ is exalted to be king. There's a reason. Why
did the father exalt his son to be king overall? Well, now
it's not nepotism. If you've ever worked in a, in
a family owned business, you understand this concept of nepotism,
but that's not what's going on here between the father and the
son. The father did not exalt his son to be king overall just
because he's famous. The father did not exalt his
son to be king overall, even though there's more qualified
candidates who are not family. The father exalted the son because
there's no one else qualified to have the position. That's
why the Lord Jesus Christ earned the right to be glorified. He
earned the right to sit on the throne of glory because of his
humiliation and his suffering and death for his people. Well,
the Lord met those two disciples on the road to Emmaus in Luke
24. This is what he told them. Ought not Christ to have suffered
these things and to enter into his glory? Now, you notice there's
an order there. First, Christ had to suffer these
things. And because he did, he earned the right to enter into
his glory and to be exalted over all. So first, I want to look
at how the Savior suffered in his humiliation. Christ had to
suffer all these things in order to redeem his people. He had
to suffer all these things to earn the right to be exalted
over all. Number one, Christ suffered the
humiliation of appearing in human flesh. Verse six says, who being
in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with
God, who had made himself of no reputation and took upon him
the form of a servant. It was made in the likeness of
men. Now it was not robbing God of his glory for the Lord Jesus,
the man, Jesus of Nazareth to say, I am my father alone. I'm equal with the father. Before
Abraham was, I am. He took to him the name of God.
I am. It wasn't wrong for him to say
that because it's true. The Lord Jesus Christ is God. He's not a lesser version of
God. He is the mighty God. the everlasting father, the prince
of peace. That's who he is, he's God. And
yet this high and lofty one, God himself, the light and prince
and glory of heaven humbled himself to become flesh so that he could
be the representative of his elect people who are in the flesh.
The eternal God humbled himself to become an embryo in Mary's
womb and to be born from the womb of one of his creatures. He did that because that's how
we come into the world. He's our representative. He's
got to do it just like we do it. He limited himself to the
weakness of human flesh. He got tired. He got hungry.
He got thirsty. The weakness of human flesh because
that's how we are. That's the nature of his people
and he's representing us. He had the power to do anything,
and he did over and over again, didn't he? He healed the sick,
he created food, he broke the bread, and just created enough
food for 5,000. But he never one time performed
a miracle to benefit his own flesh. Not one time ever. When
he was thirsty, he couldn't create water. He had to ask a sinful
woman to give him a drink. When he was hungry, he couldn't
turn the stones to bread. Because you and I can't do that.
And he's our representative. He had to limit himself to the
weakness of our flesh to be the representative of his people,
so that he could make them the righteousness of God in him.
You know, all of us have done something that we should be embarrassed
about, we should be humbled about, and you know what that feels
like, just what a horrible feeling, you know, to endure. Christ our
Savior endured a constant feeling of humility and embarrassment,
I guess is a good word is at a shame and appearing in the
weakness of our flesh. But he did it. He did it. He
suffered that humiliation to be the representative and savior
of his people. The second Christ suffered the
humiliation of obedience. First aid said being found in
fashion as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient.
Obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Now the Lord
and Master of all humbled himself to be a servant. Remember when
he washed his disciples' feet? He said, you call me Lord and
Master, and you say, well, for so I am. But now you see what
I've done? He performed the task of the lowest servant. He became
a servant, first of all, to his father. Now the son's equal with
the father. He is the father, he's one with
the father, yet he gave up his rights as God to be a servant
to his father, to do what his father required to save his people
from their sins. He came to serve his father by
obeying the law, honoring the law, magnifying it by keeping
it perfectly and establishing a righteousness in the earth.
And what's even more humiliating, I mean, you know, maybe you think
it's not all that humiliating to be the servant of the father,
God the father. But the Lord and master humbled
himself to be the servant of his people. He came not to be
ministered to, but to minister by giving his life a ransom for
many. And it was his delight to do
it. He came to do for his people. what they could never do for
themselves as a servant, doing for them what they needed done.
And it was his delight to do it. His delight to become their
servant because he loved his people. The Lord Jesus Christ
is the lawgiver. The one who appeared to Moses
on Mount Sinai with his finger wrote the Ten Commandments and
those two tables of stones. That was the Lord Jesus Christ.
He's the lawgiver. He's the judge of all. Yet he
humbled himself to come in the flesh and be under his own law. You know, kings make laws for
their kingdom, but now the king's exempt. He can do what he wants. He's not under the law. This
king was. He put himself under his own
law to obey his own law. He was already righteous. He's
already holy. That's his very nature. But he
took on him flesh to obey the law as a representative of his
people. to give them an obedience to his law that they could never
produce, the eternal father became a babe
of days, completely dependent on his parents. His mother, his
stepfather, foster father, whatever you call him, got their life
and breath from him, yet that baby was completely dependent
on them. His mother was a sinful woman. Yet he obeyed her. She's his
creature. He made her. Yet he humbled himself
to obey her. Even when she was wrong, he obeyed
her. He was obedient to the law and the ceremonies, circumcised
the eighth day. He kept every ceremony. every
Passover, every feast of the tabernacle, every, every, all
these, all the, can you imagine how that graded on his soul?
Keeping these ceremonies that the, that the, the priest of
the day had so polluted and so corrupted, he kept them anyway. He submitted himself anyway.
He was perfectly obedient to a sinful people. and then his obedience went even
further and even deeper. He was obedient unto death, even
the death of the cross, even the death of the cross. Son of
God was the perfectly obedient servant, his father. His father
said, son, you must be made sin. You must take the sin of my people,
take it into your own body on the tree and you must suffer
and die to put away the sin of my people because that's the
only way my justice can be satisfied. It's the only way my holiness
can be satisfied. It's the only way they can truly
be cleansed of their sin. And the son obediently gave himself
to be sacrificed. We looked at that a little bit
ago. Matthew didn't father, if it'd be possible, let this cut
past from me, but if not, I will be done. I'll drink it dry. If
it can't pass for me except I drink it, I'll drink it. He was obedient
to his father, even the death of the cross. Here's why that's
so critical, the death of the cross, because it's a cursed
death. It's a curse. He died a cursed
death. He died a curse for his people to deliver them from the
curse of the law. He humbled himself to take on
him flesh, to take on a body that could die. God can't die,
but a man can. So God became a man to die as
the substitute, as the sacrifice for his people. He humbled himself
to live in a holy body. The father prepared that body
for him. He lived in it. Never committed
one sin. Yet that body was broken and
bruised as the sacrifice for his people. He did that willingly. He took on the curse of his people.
He died being made a curse. He died being made sin for his
people. So he take their sin away from them. And he put their
sin away by his blood. Injustice. He suffered everything
the sin of his people deserved. In his body on the tree. He did
that willingly. It's not just the pain that that
caused him. but the humiliation, not just
even the humiliation before men, before his creatures, the humiliation
of being stripped naked before his father, being stripped naked,
being emptied of righteousness and holiness and just emptying
himself to put away the sin of his people, all the humiliation
of that, but he suffered it willingly because it was his heart's desire
to glorify and honor his father. Father, the hours come. I've
glorified thee on the earth. Glorify me now that I might glorify
thee, that I might save your people from their sin. He suffered
all that willingly to honor and glorify his father. And to save
those people, the father gave him an eternity to save. It was
his delight to save them. He suffered that willingly and
accomplished their salvation. All right, that's his humiliation.
Now let's look at the exaltation of Christ. Verse nine says, wherefore
God also has highly exalted him and given him a name, which is
above every name. Now, wherefore, because his humiliation
and his suffering completely satisfied his father, because
his death completely satisfied justice, because he did absolutely
everything that the father gave him to do. He pleased the father
so perfectly. in his life of humiliation. Wherefore,
because he did that, the fathers exalted him, exalted him to the
throne of glory and given him a name that's above every name. See, this wasn't nepotism at
all, wasn't it? It wasn't something that the
father just given something, you know, to his family, even
though they don't really deserve it. The humiliation and suffering
of Christ earned him the right to sit on the throne of glory.
It earned him the right to be given a name which is above every
name. Christ earned his kingship by his suffering and his death
for his people. Now the exaltation of Christ
is just the exact opposite of his humiliation. He suffered
this humiliation when he was made sin for his people. He's
exalted to the throne of glory because he put that sin away.
because he satisfied his father and put that sin away. He paid
the debt with his own precious blood. He was made low. Oh, how he was brought low by
sin, wasn't he? There at the cross, separated
from his father. My God, my God, why has thou
forsaken me? He cried, I thirst. Not really
because he was thirsty for water. Thirsty for righteousness, he'd
been made sin. I thirst, oh, how he was brought
low. Well, now he's exalted higher than the heavens because he put
all that sin away. Now, wherefore? Here's some results of Christ's
exaltation. Wherefore? Number one, the humiliation
and sufferings of Christ earned him a name which is above every
name. Now, this is not just his name
is famous. The sufferings of Christ earned
him a name that's a saving name, a name that is so powerful it
saves everyone who believes on it. Everyone who believes on
his matchless name. Peter said in Acts 4 verse 12,
neither is there salvation in any other for there's none other
name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved. If you believe on this name,
you must be saved. And his name describes who he
is. He's the savior of sinners. The Lord Jesus Christ earned
a saving name. Second, Christ is king over all
of God's creation because of his suffering. The father has
exalted him to be king over everything or things in heaven, things in
earth, things under the earth. Well, that's everywhere in it.
Can you think of anything that's not in the heavens, in the earth
or under the earth? That's everything. That covers
it all. Christ is king everywhere in
God's creation. Now, since Christ is king everywhere,
there can never be any place God's sheep could go where they'll
perish. There's never a place God's sheep
can go where they're out of the jurisdiction of King Jesus. Never. They're always in his realm and
his power to save them. There's not one of God's people
can be so lost that they're outside of the power of the king to save
him. He is king everywhere. And that guarantees he'll save
his people from everywhere, no matter where they're found. Number
three, there's salvation to be found for sinners at the feet
of King Jesus. Look at verse 10. That's the
name of Jesus. Every knee should bow. things
in heaven and things in earth and things under the earth and
that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to
the glory of God the Father. There's salvation at bowing at
the feet of the sovereign. There's no salvation in accepting
Jesus as your personal savior. There's no salvation in letting
Jesus be your friend and letting him into your heart There's no
salvation in letting Jesus have his way in your life. If you
gotta let him have his way, what good is it? There's no salvation
in giving your cold, dead, sinful heart to Jesus. There's salvation
in bowing at the feet of King Jesus. When we bow before the
King, this is what we're recognizing. He does not have to say amen.
Now I'm gonna come begging him for mercy, but he doesn't have
to save me. He doesn't owe me anything but wrath for my sin.
He doesn't owe me anything but wrath. The question is not what
will I do with Jesus? The question is what will he
do with me? What's the Lord gonna do with
me? Salvation is bowing at the feet
of the king and saying like that leper of old, Lord, if you will,
if you, my will's gonna do it. If you will, you can make me
clean. Lord, if you will, you can save
me. Lord, if you will, you can wash
my sin away. Lord, if you will, you can cleanse
me in your blood. Lord, if you will, you can give
me life. Lord, if you will, you can save me. I'm in your hands
to do with as you please. And if you damn me, you'll be
just in doing it. I can't argue against you at
all. If you damn me, you'll be absolutely just in damning me.
That's the very reason I'm begging you for mercy. I'm begging you
for mercy. If you give me mercy for Christ's
sake, if you give me mercy based on the humiliation and the suffering
and the death and the blood of Christ, you'll be just and show
me mercy. Now, if God damns me for my sin,
he's just. If he shows me mercy for Christ's
sake, he's just. See, either way, God's going
to be just, isn't he? Now there's no salvation anywhere else. So
you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to stay at the feet
of the king. And I'm going to keep begging him for mercy. I'm
just not going anywhere else. He's the king. You know, the
Lord Jesus was rejected as king, wasn't he? They mocked him as
king. They put a crown of thorns on
his head. They put a little old reed in his hand for a scepter.
They found some old purple carpet, I don't know, in somebody's robe
or something, somebody nice, some dirty old carpet, you know,
purple. They threw it on his back and
they mocked him and said, hail, king of the Jews. Look at it.
They rode over his cross. The accusation, not just his
name, not just who he wrote, this is his accusation, he king.
They rejected him, they mocked him, they crucified him as king. But if you and me are gonna find
any salvation, tell you what, we're gonna bow to the king.
It's his to give. He earned it by his humiliation,
his suffering, his death, and he earned the right to sovereignly
give salvation to whom he will. Number four, sinners see the
glory of God when we see, this is how God saves sinners. It's
through the suffering, the death, the resurrection and the exaltation
of God's Son. Verse 10 says that Christ did
this to glorify the Father. Or verse nine, let's see, wait
a minute. Verse 11, to the glory of God
the Father. That's why he did all this, to
the glory of God the Father. God's greatest glory is saving
sinners, giving mercy to sinners through the slaughter of his
Son. That's God's greatest glory. Now the father is not gonna let
his glory be tarnished. If he would lose just one of
that innumerable host, there's innumerable host, it's a host
that's so big, you and me can't count them. If one was missing,
we wouldn't notice, because we can't count the eye anyway. God
would notice. God's justice would notice. He's
not gonna let his glory be tarnished by losing even one for whom Christ
died. Not one. See the death of Christ
satisfied God's justice. He's going to see his justice
satisfied. Well, since Christ died, he put away the sin of
his people. God's going to see his mercy
is satisfied to God's going to see his mercy is satisfied. Not
one of his elect can perish. God's going to see to it. His
mercy is satisfied. So his glory is not tarnished.
Now I hope you're loving this subject, like the kingship of
Christ. It's impossible to preach the gospel without preaching
the kingship of Christ. It's utterly impossible. You
cannot preach the gospel unless you're preaching a sovereign
savior. If you're preaching a savior that wants to and can't, you're
using the name Jesus, you're using the name God, you're using
terms like mercy and grace and redemption and righteousness
and peace and sanctification, but you're not preaching the
gospel if you're not preaching a sovereign savior. Christ the
sovereign did not die to give everybody a chance to be saved
now. Some of them go to hell anyway, but you know, I mean,
I tried, I did my best. No, sir, that's not the God of
this Bible. The sovereign savior saved everyone
for whom he died. He saved everybody he intended
to save, and he cannot fail to save them because he's the sovereign.
Since he's the sovereign, his will is always done. His will
is to save his people from their sin. That's what he did. That's
what he did. And he reigns as king to ensure
it. to ensure it. And in closing,
I want to give you a few scriptures here to show us how there's salvation,
and there's peace, and there's comfort, and there's assurance
for the hearts of God's people resting in this fact, our Savior
reigns over all. We're not going to turn to all
these scriptures for time's sake. I'll just read them to you. We'll
turn to one or two of them, but you just jot them down if you
want, because there's not time turn to them all. But first, this
first scripture, Psalm 68, verse 18. Thou hast ascended on high. Thou hast led captivity captive.
If Christ is not exalted, if he died, but he is not raised,
he's not exalted, then all of us are still held captive by
sin and death and hell. But since Christ is exalted,
he's led captivity captive and God's people are free from sin
and death and hell. were free in Christ because he's
exalted. Now I want you to turn to this
one, Isaiah chapter 53. Since Christ died and he's now
exalted, the salvation of God's elect is sure and certain. Isaiah 53 in verse 10. Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise
him. It pleased him to bruise and sacrifice his son, because
he made him sin for his people. He hath put him to grief, but
now shall make his soul an offering for sin. He shall see his seed. He shall prolong his days, and
the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. He shall
see of the travail of his soul, and he shall be satisfied. By
his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many, for he
shall bear their iniquities. That's mighty sure, isn't it?
There's no room for doubt left. All right, next, John 16, verse
seven. The Lord says, don't turn, let
me read it to you. Nevertheless, I tell you the truth. It's expedient
for you that I go away. Can you imagine how disappointed
the disciples were to hear that? It's expedient for you, it's
necessary, it's best for you that I go away, for if I go not
away, the Comforter will not come. But if I depart, I'll send
him to you. See, if Christ is not exalted,
there's no comforter to sin, is there? There's no peace to
bring. But since Christ is exalted, he sends the comforter to his
people. And how does the Holy Spirit comfort the hearts of
God's people? By showing them Christ. He's
crucified, he's risen, and he's exalted. He's king over all. You're safe in his hand. All
right, now turn to this one, Acts chapter two. Acts chapter two, verse 29. Amen and brethren, let me speak
freely to you of the patriarch David, that he's both dead and
buried. His sepulcher is with us unto
this day. Therefore being a prophet and
knowing that God has sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit
of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ
to sit on his throne. He, seeing this before, spake
of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in
hell, neither his flesh did see corruption. This Jesus hath God
raised up, whereof we are all witnesses. Therefore, being by
the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father
the promise of the Holy Ghost, he has shed forth this, which
you now see and hear. If Christ is not raised and exalted,
God can't keep his promise. David prophesied how many years
before it happened that Christ would be crucified, he'd be raised,
he'd be exalted to sit on the throne of heaven. David prophesied
that would happen. Well, if Christ is not raised,
if he's not exalted, God can't keep his word. Well, Christ is raised. Christ
is exalted. And even though you may not understand
it, you may not understand how it could possibly be so, You
can trust your soul to every word of this book. God won't
let one word of it fall to the ground. He'll keep his word. And the message of the whole
book is there's redemption in Christ Jesus. Now you trust him,
you'll have redemption. That's the message of the whole
book. You can count on this book and you're just not going to
be saved until you believe in this risen, exalted savior who's
king over all. These men heard them preaching
this day, didn't they? This is the king. You killed
him, the father raised him, put him on the throne. What was their
reaction to it? Well, let's find out, verse 36.
Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God
hath made that same Jesus whom you crucified. You rejected him,
you hated him. God's made him both Lord and
Christ. Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart
and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, men and
brethren, what are we gonna do? Then Peter said unto them, repent
and be baptized, every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ
for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of
the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you and
to your children and all that are far off, even as many as
the Lord our God shall call. And with many other words that
he testify and exhort, he kept preaching Christ to them saying,
save yourselves from this untoward generation. Then they that gladly
received his word were baptized. And that same day were added
unto them about 3,000 souls. Here these people were here at
the cross. These were some of the people
crying crucify him and give us Barabbas. And they bowed at the feet of
the king. And they believed him. And they were saved. Then in Acts 5 verse 30, God
of our fathers raised up Jesus whom you slew and hanged on a
tree. Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a prince
and a savior for to give repentance and forgiveness of sins. Now
here's the reason God did all this, to give repentance to Israel
and the forgiveness of sins. Now since Christ is exalted,
God forgives the sin of his people. Here's how you know the father
accepted the sacrifice of Christ. He exalted him. If he didn't
do what he came to do, if he didn't put away the sin of the
people the father gave him to save, the father wouldn't have
exalted him. He left him in the tomb. But he raised him from
the tomb. He exalted him to glory as the
proof, as the evidence his death satisfied the father. Satisfied
the father, satisfied his justice against all the sin of all of
his people. Since Christ is exalted, he's
going to grant every one of his people repentance, to turn to
Christ and to trust him. And he's going to grant every
last one of them the forgiveness of their sin. Your sin is forgiven
in the blood of Christ. If you believe Christ and you're
God's people, your sin is forgiven. God's forgiven it so he does
not remember it anymore. That's how powerful the blood
of Christ is. And the proof I'm telling you the truth is the
father exalted to sit on the throne of glory. Then in second
Timothy four verse eight, henceforth there's laid up for me a crown
of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, so give
me at that day and not to me only, but to them also that love
his appearing. Now, if Christ is not exalted,
if he's not exalted as King, if he's not exalted as judge
of all, He has no righteousness to give his people. He can't,
this crown of righteousness is not a crown you're wearing, yeah,
it's a covering of righteousness. It's being made righteous through
and through, but Christ is exalted. So there is a crown, a covering
of righteousness for him to give his people and make us accepted
with the father. Then Hebrews one verse three,
who being the brightness of his glory and express image of his
person and upholding all things by the word of his power, When
he had by himself purged our sin, he sat down on the right
hand of the majesty on high. Now if Christ is not exalted,
he hasn't put away the sin of anybody. But he is exalted. He's exalted to sit upon the
throne of heaven. The father honored him saying,
sit here on my right hand. Don't make your enemies your
footstool. He is exalted. Well then we know he purged the
sin of his people. He purged the sin of everybody
the father gave him to save. And if our sin is purged, we
can never be damned. See, it's important Christ be
exalted, isn't it? Then last, Hebrews 9, verse 24. For Christ
is not entered into the holy places made with hands which
are figures of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear
in the presence of God for us. If Christ is not exalted in the
heavens, we have no mediator with the Father. We can, our
prayers can never be heard. Our sins can never be forgiven.
Nobody is being a mediator with us for the father if Christ is
not exalted. But Christ is risen and he is
exalted. He's exalted to the right hand
of the father. Then we do have a mediator. And
that mediator is sitting beside his father pleading his blood
as the acceptance with our acceptance with the father. He's pleading
his blood as a forgiveness of the sin of his people. And you
know, we say that and he's pleading, our mediators pleading for us.
Well, you know, he's not begging his father. He's not asking his
father for a favor. He's actually not saying a word.
He's sitting there beside his father with the evidence of his
humiliation, with the evidence of his sacrifice. The lamb slain,
a lamb as it had been slain. That's what John said, he saw
him. A lamb as he had been slain. He saw those scars in his hand,
in his feet, in his head, and in his side. And the father sees
those scars. He said, that sacrifice is enough.
My people are forgiven. My people are accepted. Let them
come boldly before my throne of grace, that they find mercy
and grace to help in time of need because of our mediator.
We can come in the name of our mediator and be heard by God
almighty. The enormity of that escapes
us because we just think I ought to be heard. You know, I get
to get to speak whenever I want. I ought to be heard. The only
way we can come before the father accepted and heard is through
a mediator. We have no mediator if Christ is not exalted. But
thank God he is. Thank God he is. Now that's comfort. That's assurance for God's people
in him. Our Savior is exalted. He's king
over all. And boy, I'm thankful. Boy, I'm
thankful. I hope you are too. I hope this
gives you such peace of heart and confidence that you just
rest in Christ. All right, let's bow together. Our Father, oh, how we thank
you for Christ our Savior. How we thank you for his humiliation. How we thank you how he suffered
and died to put away our sin. Father, how thankful we are.
And how thankful we are his sacrifice satisfied your justice. Put away
the sin of his people so that you exalted him on high to be
king over all. How thrilled we are to know our
Savior reigns. Our mediator is always heard. Father, how we thank you. And
Father, I pray you take the message, the message of Christ as it's
been preached, that you enable your people to forget about the
stammering lips that preached it and cause the message of Christ
to come into our hearts to give us comfort and assurance and
faith in him that we cast our all upon him. For it's in his
precious name, his glory, we pray. Amen. All right, Sean.
