Open your Bibles with me again,
if you would, to Psalm 119. Lord willing, this will be the
last in our messages from Psalm 119. Christ from A to Z, Part
11. This has been some undertaking,
but I have thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope that you all have,
too. But it has been a daunting undertaking. Charles Spurgeon delayed the
third volume of his Treasury of David at just the thought
of how he was going to tackle Psalm 119. And I understand his
trepidation in that now, but I think the Lord has blessed
it. You will remember that Psalm
119 is a poem. It was a form of a poem that
the Jews used, and it has one eight-verse stanza for each of
the letters of the Hebrew alphabet. The theme of the psalm, the theme
of each individual stanza is the Word of God. It goes by the
Word, it goes by statutes and commandments, laws, different
words he uses which all mean the Word of God. Both the written
Word of God and Christ, the incarnate Word of God. And what I want
to show you from each one of these stanzas, we'll look at
the last two this evening, is that each point of the Christ
is the theme of each one of these stanzas so that we learn from
all the letters of the alphabet from A to Z, no matter how you
look at it, Christ is all. Now the 21st stanza, which begins
in verse 161, tells us about the steadfastness of Christ and
the steadfastness of His people. The Hebrew letter for this stanza
has to do with steadfastness. And it shows us our Lord Jesus
Christ is steadfast. He's never changing. You can
always count on Him. The written Word of God is steadfast. It never changes. The truth of
the Scripture never changes. Our need of instruction from
the Word, our need of the Word never changes. The message of
the Bible never changes. The message of this psalm we're
looking at tonight is exactly the same as when David wrote
it how many years ago? More than 2,000 years. I don't
know how many years it was, More than 2,500 years ago, David sat
down and wrote this song. The message of it, the meaning
of it is the same tonight as it was when David sat and wrote
it. It never changes. We don't have to try to take
the word of God and make it relevant to our day. We just preach the
word. We just preach Christ because
the message never changes. So in that way, God's people
are steadfast too. We always have the same message.
We don't need to change our message. Our message is Christ. If your
message is Christ, you don't need to change it. Our message
never changes. We have the same hope, since our hope never changes. So in that way, God's people
are steadfast too. I want to show you four or five
things here about steadfastness from this stanza. Number one
is this. Our all. Our all of Christ is steadfast. In verse 161, he says, princes
have persecuted me without a cause. But my heart standeth in all
of thy word. Now, clearly, this is the Lord
Jesus Christ speaking. He's only one who can say he
was persecuted without a cause. He's talking there about how
the princes, the rulers of the Jews gathered together and they
persecuted him without a cause. They could not find any fault
in him. They just didn't like him. So
they condemned him, even though they could find no fault in him.
And I'll tell you why they did that. It's because they didn't
know the Lord. Now these were the best minds
of that day, and they could not see Christ. They could not believe
Him when they saw Him. The most religious, most doctrinally
straight people of that day, probably who ever lived, could
not believe Christ when they saw Him. They could not do it.
Instead, they hated Him, and they were told to believe on
Him, and they refused to believe on Him. Now that just shows you
how dead human nature really is. This is the best that we
have to offer. And the best of us can't believe
Christ, but instead hate Him. That's the best the human race
has to offer. But babes, the simple, the worst
of sinners, publicans and harlots, they saw Christ and they believed
Him. They believed on Christ. You
know why? God revealed Christ to them and
they believed Him. Look at 1 Corinthians 2. Now that's all inspiring and
when we see that today, the same thing is still true today. It's
babes, it's the worst of sinners, publicans and harlots who believe
on Christ. And that's all inspiring. 1 Corinthians
2, verse 7. But we speak the wisdom of God
in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom. which God ordained before
the world unto our glory, which none of the princes of this world
knew, for had they known it, they would not have crucified
the Lord of glory. But as it is written, I have not seen nor
ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man the things
which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed
them unto us by his spirit, for the spirit searcheth all things,
yea, the deep things of God. Now, if we see Christ crucified
for us, we stand in awe. I mean, just in awe. Christ is
hid from the wise, from the prudent, from the religious strictest
of them all. He's hid from them. But I see
Him. I believe Him. That's awe-inspiring
that God would reveal Himself to somebody like me. That lets
us say with a stomp songwriter, I stand amazed in the presence
of Jesus, the Nazarene, and I wonder how he could love me, a sinner
condemned unclean. Oh, how marvelous, how wonderful,
and my song shall ever be. The wonder, the awe, that almighty
God could love me. And the more I read God's word,
the more I hear the gospel preached, the more I stand in awe. I mean,
this awe doesn't get less, it grows. The more I hear from God's
word, the more I see Christ revealing his word, the more awed I am. I stand in awe of God's mercy
and grace to sinners. God's mercy, God's grace is for
the worst of sinners. Not those who just sin a little
bit or who sin less. His mercy and His grace is reserved
for the worst of sinners. I stand in awe of God's love,
that God loves the most unlovable people. That's who He loves.
I stand amazed at the sacrifice of Christ. I have two daughters. I don't know anybody I'd kill
them for. Nobody. The Father sacrificed
His own Son to save His people from their sin. And who He sacrificed
Him for? Go back to the most unlovable,
the worst of sinners. I stand amazed at that. I guess
I never can get over that. I stand amazed at the Gospel
of Christ. I stand amazed at the subject
matter of it. It's the salvation of sinners.
It's the glory of God's Son. I stand amazed at that. And I'm
amazed at who believes it. Go back to the most unlovable,
the worst of... That's who believes this gospel.
And you know what else is awe-inspiring? They keep believing it. They
keep believing it. And that awe is steadfast, it's
constant, and like I said, if anything, if it changes at all,
it grows. The more I learn of Christ, the
more I learn of who God is, the more I learn of who I am, the
more in awe of God that I am. Our awe is steadfast. Secondly, our rejoicing in Christ
is steadfast. Verse 162. I rejoice at thy word
as one that findeth great spoil. You know, there are a lot of
things in this life that make me happy. Things that God's given
us to enjoy and nothing wrong with enjoying. Those things make
us happy. But David's talking about something deeper than that
here. He says, my heart rejoices. Now, what makes your heart rejoice?
Well, to the believers, when we hear of Christ, our heart
rejoices in the word of God. And as David says here, God has
given us the spoil, the spoil of his word. All of this word
is for you. He's given it all to you. And
it's spoiled, it's the treasure in this sense. Everybody doesn't
have it. Everybody doesn't understand,
but you do. And God's given it all to you who believe. He has
given us the spoil that Christ won for His people. He's given
us a treasure chest of mercy and grace. He's given us a treasure
chest of life and salvation. He's given us a treasure chest
of righteousness and the forgiveness of sin. He's given us a book
that is just plumb full of promises. He's given His people this treasure
chest that's full of precious promises that are in Christ,
and they all belong to us. This treasure chest is ours because
God's given them to us in Christ. Now you just think how rich we
are if God has given us Christ. If He's let you see Christ and
believe Him, have some understanding of who He is, oh, how rich you
are. Because the Apostle Paul said,
in him are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. You
can know God. You can know how God saves sinners
by knowing the Lord Jesus Christ. I mean, the riches of that. I
hate to take that subject on my lips. I mean, because I just
like I'm doing such a poor job at saying how rich that is, how
glorious that is. Now, I can do more. I can do
without more of the stuff of this world. But I'll tell you
why my heart rejoices at this. I can't do without Christ. I
can't do without the riches of His mercy and His grace. I cannot
do without knowing Him. The riches of God's mercy and
God's grace is the only way a sinner like me can be saved. And how
I rejoice that God's given those to me, given those to His people.
And look at verse 163. He says, I hate and abhor lying,
but thy law do I love. Now, if Christ really is my treasure,
if Christ really is my only hope, if he loved me without a cause,
I hated him without a cause. He loved me without a cause found
in myself. If he really is my only hope,
then I'll love him. And I will hate every other lying
way. If you love Christ, How can you
not hate the message that lies on Him? If you love Christ, how
can you not hate the message that diminishes His glory? We ought not... I know, in 2020,
this is a horrible thing to say, but we ought not be tolerant
of it. This political correctness has gone too far. We ought not
be tolerant of this message that diminishes the glory of Christ. This other Jesus that we hear
preached is ordinary. He's ordinary. He's just like
you and me. There's no reason to worship
Him in awe. He loves those who love Him.
He gives to those who gives to Him. He saves those who sin less
than other people. He's ordinary. But the Savior
we preach is awe-inspiring. He loves sinners and He saves
them. Now that's who I That's who I
want to hear preached. I'm not going to waste my time
with anything else, are you? Our rejoicing in Christ is steadfast. To listen to something that would
take away my rejoicing in Him is just detrimental to my soul.
And God help me, I'm not going to do it. All right, thirdly,
our praise of Christ is steadfast. Verse 164. Seven times a day do I praise
thee because of thy righteous judgments. Now, the psalmist
here says seven times a day. That could mean all through the
day, all through my day, I stop and praise you. Or it could mean
I praise you perfectly. Seven is the number of perfection.
But either way, whichever one it means here, God's people praise
the Lord for their salvation. And when I say they praise the
Lord for their salvation, I mean that they don't take any credit
for it. They say with the Apostle Paul, God forbid that I should
God forbid that I should have any praise save in the cross
of the Lord Jesus Christ. Save in what Christ accomplished
for me at the cross. I mean, I can't boast about anything
that I've done. Why would I ever boast about anything that I've
done? I'm ashamed of it. But I sure can boast in the Savior. David says here, he praises God
because of his righteous judgments. Now, this is not just an indiscriminate,
oh, praise the Lord. You know, that is such a catchphrase
in our day. This is not something that's
indiscriminate. This is an intelligent statement. I'm praising God for His righteous
judgments. The believer praises God because
he made it right. In his righteous judgment of
Christ at Calvary, God made it right for him to show mercy to
sinners and to save sinners because he punished our sin fully. and
Christ our substitute. He gave Christ everything that
our sin deserves, and He gave us everything His obedience deserves.
He gave us everything His blood deserves. Now, I stand in awe. I stand in awe of that. And while
I can't praise God perfectly, I can praise Him consistently.
We can't do it perfectly, but let's do it consistently. We
consider how He saved us from our sins. Then fourthly, our
peace in Christ is steadfast. Verse 165. Great peace have they
which love thy law, and nothing shall offend them. Now the Lord
Jesus Christ made peace for his people by the blood of his cross.
The blood of Christ's sacrifice took away the sin that made God
angry. There's no reason for God to be angry because of the
blood of Christ, so there's peace. But this warfare is warfare man
declared on God. Something's got to be done with
man's rebellion, with man's sinful heart. What's to be done? The
blood of Christ. When the blood of Christ is applied
to the hearts of God's people, they're not angry anymore. They're
not angry at God anymore. The blood of Christ applied to
our hearts makes us surrender and submit. Submit to Christ. Submit to His righteousness.
Then there's peace. God's at peace with His people.
His people are at peace with God. And that is what David calls
a great peace. It's great peace because it's
eternal peace. It's perfect peace. It's peace
that can never be lost. David says here, nothing shall
offend them. That means they're not going
to have any stumbling block. If Christ died for you, you're
at peace with God. God's at peace with you. And
you're not going to find a stumbling block that's going to make you
trip up and lose this peace. You're not going to find some
stumbling block that's going to make you trip up and lose your salvation
and fall away from Christ. It can never be lost. Christ
has removed all the stumbling blocks. So it's perfect peace. Now believers have perfect peace.
But we don't always have enjoyment of that peace, do we? And you
know we have enjoyment of this perfect peace. when we get our
eyes off of ourself, and off of our circumstance, and off
of what we think, and what we feel, and when we get our mind
off of that, get our eyes off of that, and we stand in awe
of God's Word. When we're thinking on Christ,
we're looking to Him in awe and wonder, that's when we enjoy
this great peace that God has made between Him and His people. That peace is steadfast. The reason for that peace is
always the same. No matter how much this earthly
circumstances change, the reason for that perfect peace is steadfast. It's always in Christ. All right,
fifth, our hope in Christ is steadfast. Verse 166. Lord, I have hope for thy salvation
and done thy commandments. My soul has kept thy testimonies
and I love them exceedingly. David says here, I have hoped
for thy salvation. And he means there, that word
he uses there means expect. I've expected thy salvation because
I've done my commandments, because I have kept thy testimonies.
Well, David, when did you do that? When did David do that? When he was in Christ. It wasn't
when he did anything on this earth. It's when he was in Christ.
That's why the believer can expect this salvation. We can expect
this salvation because God planned it. Because God purposed it. Because God purchased it. Because
God applies it and God keeps it. It's all the work of God. God has executed this thing. It's done. We can expect this
salvation because Christ kept the law for us. He didn't leave
it to his people to keep. He kept it for them. Aren't you
thankful? then our hope is always perfect. It's steadfast. We don't want
any other hope other than Christ. That hope in Christ is unchanging
because there isn't another hope. And I stand in awe that Almighty
God would give such a good hope to sinful people. That makes
us thankful, doesn't it? To have a good hope by God's
grace. And then sixth, our righteousness
in Christ is steadfast. Verse 168, I have kept thy precepts
and thy testimonies, for all my ways are before thee. Now
again, you know this is Christ speaking, saying I've kept thy
precepts and thy testimonies, all your ways are before me.
Only Christ could truthfully make that statement. But you
know, I rejoice in hearing him make it. I rejoice in hearing
him say that, that he is our righteousness. I love to think
about how the Lord Jesus Christ kept the law for me. As my representative,
I just love to think about that. And we've seen this over and
over and over again in the Psalms, and we've seen it often in Psalm
119. You know, the way to get the right meaning of every Psalm,
whenever you're reading the Psalms, always look at it first as Christ
speaking. Just as you read it, think this
is the Lord Jesus reading this aloud and saying this to me.
That's the primary meaning of every Psalm. So we've seen this
over and over and over again, where Christ speaks and says,
I've kept thy precepts. I've kept your law. I've been
perfect. You know, we can't say that too often because Christ
is our righteousness. And that truth never changes.
It's steadfast. And aren't you thankful? Aren't
you thankful that the perfect obedience of the Lord Jesus Christ
is always yours, is always your righteousness, He didn't leave
one thing left for you to do, but He did it all to give you righteousness freely. Now that's wonderful. That's
a good hope. I'm glad that's steadfast. All
right, now the 22nd stanza, the last stanza, tells us about Christ
the truth. Now the letter for this stanza
represents truth. It's like our letter T. And it
has to do with how God, in truth, undid for his people everything
that Adam did to him. Adam truly made his people to
be a race of sinners. And the Lord Jesus Christ, the
second Adam, truly made his people righteous. And it's interesting
that the early church, as I read this week, used this Hebrew letter
to represent the cross. When they were writing about
the cross, they would use this letter to represent the cross.
And I say that's interesting only for this reason. that the
cross is how God accomplished salvation in truth. The cross
is how God, in truth, undid everything for his people that Adam did
to them. He did it through the sacrifice
of his son. Now I want to start talking about this stanza with
the last verse, verse 176. This is the truth of how God
saved me. I have gone astray like a lost
sheep. Seek thy servant, for I do not forget thy commandments.
Now here's the truth about God and the truth about me. I'm a
sinner. I was born into the world that
way. I was born lost. I was born a rebel. I kept wandering
further and further and further away from God. Not only did I
not know God, I didn't want to know Him. Not only did I not
know the way back to God, I didn't know how to get back to God,
but what's worse, I don't want to go back to God. I certainly
did not want to go on God's terms. So what I did is keep going further
and further and further away from God. Now, that is the testimony
of every believer about themselves. For God saved them, for God found
them. That's our testimony. Well, here's
the truth about God. God found me when I was lost. The Lord Jesus Christ, the great
shepherd of the sheep. He left the 99 in the wilderness.
And He set out to seek and to save that one lost sheep. He
set out to seek and to save me. I mean on purpose. By name, He
set out to seek and to save me. And that's just exactly what
He did. The Lord came. He found me when I was lost.
And He made me willing to come to Him. He picked me up. He put me on His great shoulder.
And He carried me every step all the way home. Now that's
the testimony of every believer. I was lost and Christ found me.
I was a rebel. He made me willing. He picked
me up and carried me all the way home. It was all Him. That
is the testimony of every believer. It has to be the testimony of
every believer because salvation can't come any other way. There's
just one truth and this is it. I was lost and Christ did all
the saving. Christ did all the finding. Christ
did all the searching. Christ did it all. Second, salvation
in Christ truly, in reality, gives me spiritual life. Verse
175. David says, let my soul live
and it shall praise Thee. And let Thy judgments help me.
Now God did a work of salvation for me. He came where I was.
He found me. He picked me up. He held me close
in His bosom. He brought me all the way home.
He paid the debt of my sin for me. That was the work of salvation
He did for me. But the Lord also, when He found
me, He did a work of grace in me. He gave me a new heart. When the Lord saves His people,
He gives them life. They're dead, He gives them life. He gives them spiritual life
and the new birth. Now, that's the only way salvation
can be true. It's the only way. If salvation
is simply marking a piece of paper Here's the bill. We're
going to mark the bill paid in full. We're going to file it
away in a filing cabinet in heaven. That's not true salvation. Not
truly. If there's true salvation, there's
got to be life. There's got to be faith. There's
got to be union with Christ. That's what the new birth is.
It's a work of grace done in God's people where Christ, God
the Holy Spirit, where He makes God's people to be what God can
accept. righteous and holy. Now that
can't happen in this flesh. This flesh will never be anything
but sinful flesh. That which is born of the flesh
is flesh. Never be anything but dead sinful flesh. I can't not
sin. Even after God saved me, I can't
not sin. So God creates a new man in the
hearts of His people that's holy and righteous. That's the only
way we can have eternal life. And that's what God does for
His people. He truly gives them spiritual life. So that when
we lay this clay prison down and somebody finally buries it
in the ground, by the time we bury that body in the ground,
the believer who lives has already gone to be with Christ. Eternal
life. Thirdly, salvation in Christ
lets me truly come into God's presence in prayer. Verse 169. Let my cry come near before Thee,
O Lord. Give me understanding according
to Thy Word. Let my supplication come before
Thee. Deliver me according to Thy Word. Now, you know, everybody
prays in the sense that they ask God for things. I mean, they
have some understanding that there's a deity, there's a higher
power, and they might even bow in prayer. They may have a you
know, memorized thing that they say or whatever, you know, but
people ask for things, you know, especially when they're in trouble,
they ask for things. I guess if you want to call that prayer.
But you know, God doesn't hear that. God doesn't hear everybody
who prays. God doesn't hear everybody who
makes a pretense of talking to God. Again, I know that is not
politically correct in 2020, but it's so. It's so. You go back and read the books
of Isaiah and Jeremiah. God said through His prophet,
both of those books to people who are religious, to people
who spread out their hands before Him in prayer, to people who
burn sacrifices and incense and things to God, and they cry out
to God in that way, and God says, I won't hear you. It's an offense
to me. I will not hear that. But God always hears the cries
of His people. He hears them in Christ. If we are in Christ, do you know
there's not one reason God wouldn't hear us if we're in Christ? There's not one reason that he
wouldn't hear us. You know, speaking of those religious people, God
said, I won't hear them. I can understand, can't you?
When they come on my TV, you know I do? Hit the channel button. I mean, I just, I can't stand
to listen to it. But I can't stand to listen to
me either, to my selfish prayers and thoughts and desires. So
I stand in awe of this, that if we are in Christ, God Almighty
will hear our prayers. That's why the writer of the
Hebrews said, we come before the throne of grace, God's throne
of grace, His sovereign, immutable, holy, perfect throne of grace,
boldly, confidently, because we're coming in Christ. Not because
I know how to pray and them people over there don't. It's because
I'm coming in Christ. We can come before God boldly
and expect He's going to hear us because He promised He would
in Christ. And I go back to standing in
awe. I stand in awe that God would
hear my prayer. I mean, I stand in awe of it.
Do you find prayer difficult? Anything? That wasn't right. The words I use aren't right.
The thoughts aren't right. My mind wanders when I pray.
I mean, this is just not good, you know. Do you find prayer
difficult? Well, here's the reason we can
be thankful and stand in awe. God hears the cries of His people
anyway. For Christ's sake. I stand in
awe that I am able to come before God Almighty and pour out my
heart before Him. my heart of prayer, my heart
of petition, my heart of praise, my heart of thanksgiving, knowing
that God will hear my prayer for Christ's sake. I stand in
awe of that. I'm so thankful. And then fourth,
salvation in Christ gives my lips something true to say. Verse
171, my lips shall utter praise when thou hast taught me by thy
statutes. My tongues shall speak of thy
words. for all Thy commandments are righteousness." Now when
God teaches His people, He gives us something to say. David says,
my lips shall utter praise. I said a minute ago about the
catchphrase, praise the Lord. That's just a silly phrase that
you hear from people. Praise the Lord. I heard this
woman on the news there. Praise the Lord. I found this
sale. The Lord may have lowered the
price, I know, but I mean, really? Davis is here. My lips are going
to praise. I'm going to have something to
say that's true, that's worth hearing. When God teaches me
from his word, he's going to give me something to say. That's
praising the Lord for who God is. God is both holy and forgiving. God is both just and merciful. God is just and Justifier. See, that's praising the Lord
according to God's Word. Who God says He is in His Word.
Not my thoughts about how I would like God to be. You know, I've
got this sentimental view of God. But that's not right. This
is praising God according to God's Word. Who God says that
He is. You know a big part of praising
the Lord is simply agreeing with God's Word. Just simply agreeing
with God's Word. Just agreeing with God. And this
praise is also thanking the Lord. Thank You, Lord, for saving my
soul. I thank You. I didn't deserve it and You saved
me anyway. Thank You, Lord, because I never
could have earned it. I never could have deserved it.
I thank You. You did it all for me. See, praising
the Lord when we speak is having something true to say. It's not
taking credit for any part of our salvation. But it's giving
all the credit All the praise, all the thanks to God who saved
me by His grace. And then last, if Christ has
saved me, I don't want any other salvation other than Christ.
Verse 173. Let thine hand help me, for I've
chosen thy precepts. I've longed for thy salvation,
O Lord, and thy law is my delight. Now I've chosen thy precepts.
And here is the truth. The Lord saved me. I was lost. I was undone. I was a sinner
that deserved hell. But God saved me. He saved me
from that. Christ came in the flesh as my
representative and He obeyed the law for me. He made me righteous
because when He obeyed the law, I was in it. So I obeyed it too.
And Christ made sin for me. He took all of my sin away from
me and He made it His. And he suffered absolutely everything
that that sin deserved. And he put it away with his precious
blood. And God the Holy Spirit came.
I was sitting there one day thinking about a pretty girl. Thinking
about going to play basketball that afternoon. I was hearing
some preaching. And one day, God the Holy Spirit
came and made me hear it. made me believe it. Made me love
it. He gave me faith to believe Christ. He sent the gospel to me and
He gave me faith. The faith to believe. And He
keeps me believing. He keeps me from leaving by His
power. See, God did it all in salvation
and I didn't do one blessed thing. The only thing I contributed
to this matter of salvation is I contributed the sin from which
I needed to be saved from. That's all. God did all the saving
And I didn't do anything. Now that's the truth. The flesh
hates that. The flesh hates that. But the
new man loves it. And here's a good way for you
to tell if God has saved you. Here's a real good way for you
to tell that I've been born again. I told you that I don't remember
what day it was, but there was a day suddenly I found myself
not just believing what I heard preached, but loving it. Loving
it. Loving it. Needing it. But this
is what I wonder. A lot of our young people growing
up here might wonder, okay, is that just me knowing? And I just
kind of love this because it's steadfast. It's something that
I've heard all my life. There's some familiarity there.
It gives me some comfort. Or is it God's given me faith
and I've been born again? How do I tell the difference?
Well, here's one good way to tell. If God has saved you, if
you wouldn't want salvation any other way other than Christ,
even if you could choose, now I know you can't choose, but
suspend all reason for a minute and say you could choose. Say
you could. Say you could choose to be saved by your merit instead
of Christ. If God saved you, if you've been
born again, you don't want any other salvation other than in
Christ. You'll say with David, I've chosen
thy precepts. I've chosen. I wouldn't want
it any other way. Now that's the truth of how God
has saved His people. All right. I hope that'll be
a blessing to you. Let's bow together in prayer. Our Father, how we thank You
for Your Word. How we thank You for this time
of study that You've given us and this great psalm. Psalm 119.
shows us Christ, the Word of God, that He is all. Father,
I pray, I beg of you that you would take my stumblings and
bumblings and that you would use your Word to go forth in
power, to reach the hearts of your people, to reveal Christ,
to reveal Christ for the first time,
to reveal Christ for the hundredth, thousandth time. Show us the
Lord Jesus Christ and give us faith to believe Him and rest
in Him. Let us see His glory, the glory
of your only begotten Son, our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
It's in His precious name. For His glory, we pray.
