You'll bear with me for just
a minute. I want to add live stream audio from our church. And I'm going to see if I can
do it from here. All right, if you'll turn back
with me now to Acts chapter 13. I want to concentrate tonight
on two verses of scripture, Acts 13, 38 and 39. But I wanted before
that for you to read the verses leading up
to that so that you know I'm not just pulling this out of
thin air. This is actually what took place.
This was an actual event, not just a story somebody made up. And before I get to my message,
I want to say some things to you about the Book of Acts. The
Book of Acts is exactly what its name implies, the Acts. of the apostles. After the ascension
of Christ, the Holy Spirit was given to the church in a very
special way. He was sent to enable his saints
to preach the gospel to a world filled with sinners, depraved
sinners, ignorant sinners. No way that any natural man can
minister to these sinners except by the work of the Holy Ghost. I can study, I can get prepared,
and one-on-one, if we use the Bible as the basis of our discussion,
I can convince you of sin. I can. I can convince you that
you're a sinner by the Word of God. But when the Holy Spirit
convinces you of sin, you take sides with God in your own condemnation. I'm not just convincing you of
a fact. He takes over the heart. He takes
over the mind, and you get on His side in your own condemnation. He ought to send me to hell.
He's just if He does. And I quit looking for some kind
of righteousness in my deeds. I quit searching for some kind
of information within, and I start looking to Him. I'm hoping for mercy. And there's no mercy in here.
It's all in Him. He was sent to enable His saints
to preach the gospel to a world full of lost sinners. In 1 Corinthians
2, talking about the gospel he preached, the Apostle Paul said,
we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery. Even the hidden wisdom, which
God ordained before the world under our glory. It's a mystery
on purpose. It's a mystery to show you that
you can't just get it anytime you want to. It's the gift of
His grace. Religion has salvation on a shelf. If you need it, go get it. Kind
of like that sign I seen on a construction elevator one time. If you've
never been on one, you need to try it. This old pinned together
scaffold, and they have a motorized elevator and a little pulley
up there with a pretty thin cable, and it's pulling you up. And
you get up there about seven or eight stories. I looked over at the wall and
there's a sign there that said if the elevator falls just before
you hit, jump up. That's what religion teaches. Just before you go to hell, jump
up. Huh? Oh. Paul said we preach
this hidden wisdom, even the hidden wisdom which God ordained
before the world under our glory, which none of the princes. Who's
he talking about? He's not talking about princes
of kings. He's talking about the princes
of his people. He's talking about the high priest.
He's talking about scribes. He's talking about Pharisees,
learned men, men who'd studied the scriptures their whole lives. Even the princes of this world, they knew nothing. For had they known it, they would
not have crucified the Lord of Glory. Our Lord looked at them, and
on one occasion over in John 6, He says, I say unto you, but
you've seen Me, and believe not. Believe not. I'm standing before
you. They probably shook his hand
or sat and talked to him. You saw me, but you believe not. But God, oh my soul, as it is
written, he said, where do we go? We go to the word of God.
That's what I told you last night. That's the only information we
have about God that we can trust. And he said, but as it is written,
I hath not seen or 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, these hidden mysteries,
by his Spirit. For the Spirit searcheth all
things, yea, the deep things of God. Where'd you come up with
that, pastor? I wish I could tell you. I was
just sitting in my study, having read the scriptures for years,
and all of a sudden, he takes this piece, and that piece, and
this piece, and he puts them together, and they fit. God hath
revealed them unto us by His Spirit. And this handful of men
being gifted to preach his gospel went forth into a world filled
with superstition and idolatry and made known the mystery of
the gospel. In 1 Corinthians 4, 1, Paul said,
let a man so account of us as ministers of Christ and stewards
of the mysteries of God. Mysteries. And preaching in and
of itself is a mystery. It's a mystery. God said to his prophet one time,
he said, he caught him up in the spirit. And he took him out
to this valley and he said, son of man, he said, what do you
see out there? And he looks, bones. There are very many. They're
very dry. Just bones. Well, he said, let
me ask you something. Can these bones live? You know that prophet thought
about what he's being asked. He said, oh Lord God, thou knowest.
What'd he tell him to do? Preach to them. Preach to them? This world is as dry as those
bones. It is as dead as those men were
laying in the sand, and they've been dead a long time. You, Hathe Quicken, who were
dead in trespasses and sins. So how does this life come for
each tomb? You reckon Ezekiel thought he
had some power? No, he just did what God told
him to do. He just did what God told him
to do. God knew he could give him life,
and the prophet knew that God knew, but he didn't. Will God
save somebody here tonight? I don't know. But I know he can,
and I know how he does it. How does he do it? You preach to him. You preach
to him. Preaching in and of itself is
a mystery. God said, son of man, preach
to the bones. Now when I'm talking about preaching
to men, the Bible said the carnal mind's enmity against God, it's
not subject to the law of God, neither can be. And that law
there, I would argue the point that that law there represents
all his authority, not just talking about the law of Moses. Everything
God says is law, isn't it? Sure it is. And this carnal mind's enmity
against God, it's not subject. And yet Paul said, with the mind,
I myself serve the law of God. Well, how can that be with the
mind of Christ? With the mind of Christ. With
the mind of Christ I see that law honored and exalted. I see that law perfectly kept
in love. I see that law exactly. I see
that obedience exactly as God commanded it to be. Continual
perfect obedience. How can it be? He said, for the
law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free
from the law of sin and death. The law of sin and death is a
fixed principle in fallen man and the result of his depraved
nature and the influence of Satan and anti-Christ religion. It
takes more than works to save sinners. It takes more than words
to save sinners. He said, when he, the spirit
of truth has come, he will reprove the world of sin. What's that
mean? He's going to convince them of
sin. How's he going to do it? Oh,
he's going to lay the law down. No. No, he ain't. I've tried it. That don't work. I've had the law laid down on
me my whole life. It didn't work. How does the
Holy Spirit convince a man of sin? He shows him his own belief
of the Savior. There's no reason to reject Him.
There's no reason not to bow to Him. There's no reason not
to receive Him. It's your own belief. That's
how He reveals the sin in us, for they believe not on me. And
then he's gonna convince you of righteousness. And I'm gonna
tell you something, if God ever convinces you of sin, he'll have
to convince you of righteousness. You won't see any hope for you.
David said, I thought I was plum gone. That's the man after God's
own heart. He said, I thought I was gone. If he ever convinces you of sin,
He's gonna convince you of righteousness. Otherwise, He's just gonna lead
you to your sin. He'll let you wander around until
you find something out there that you really like, and you'll
take it up, and you'll spend the rest of your life secure
in whatever religious play toy you found, until you wake up
in hell. But if God convinces you of sin,
He's gonna convince you of righteousness. And then he's going to convince
you of judgment. That there is one? No. You know there's one.
Your conscience tells you there's one. We see God's wrath all the time
in this world. The wrath of God cometh down. No, he's not going to convince
you that there is a judgment. He's going to convince you of
that judgment satisfied. Judgment satisfied. The Holy Spirit. And this is
what's going on on the day of Pentecost. This is the dawning
of a new age. The dawning of a new age. The book of Acts is the record
of the church beginning to open her blossoms in the light of
the resurrected Christ. She's no longer under the types
and figures of the law, not under the carnal ordinances Paul talked
about, imposed on them until the day of reformation. That
reformation is Christ, by the way. Now she is Christ, her representative
is risen to walk in newness of life. The apostles were the beginning
of a new age, the gospel age, the age of revelation and light.
This then is the message John said. God is light and in him
is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship
with God and walk in darkness, we're a liar. You're a liar,
I don't care who you are. I'm a grace preacher, you're
a liar. If you say I walk in light, but you walk in darkness,
I believe God, I love God. When walking dark, you're a liar.
That's what the scripture says. I can't see your heart, but He
can. And I'll tell you what's worse than that. The Word of
God can see it and talk about it and convince you of it. Oh, the apostles were the beginning
of a new age, and it's the age of revelation and light. We have
received not the spirit of the world, Paul said, but the spirit
which is of God, that we might know the things freely given
to us of God, which things also we speak. Huh? What's he talking about? He's
talking about the Spirit of God working in conjunction with the preaching
of the gospel. not in the words which man's
wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Ghost teaches, comparing
spiritual things with spiritual. And these men were sin of God
and gifted specially for that work. Their gifts were apostolic
gifts, gifts of confirmation from God, gifts to confirm their
office and to confirm that message of Christ. These gifts disappeared when
their offices and mission were fulfilled. We don't need these
gifts. Do we? No. No, we have the word
of God. I have the full canon of scripture.
I don't need a special gift. I don't need to raise the dead.
I don't need to speak in foreign languages. I don't need those
things. I have the Word of God. All I
got to do is declare it, read it, talk to you about it. Listen to this. Paul said, who
is sufficient for these things? Who's sufficient? Preachers jump
up like, huh? Not God's preachers. Paul said, God hath made us,
now listen to this, able ministers. How'd he do it? By the Spirit. Huh? Oh, he made us able ministers
of the New Testament, not of the letter, but of the Spirit. And that's what's going on in
my text and that's what's going on in this place this very night.
That's exactly what's going on. Be it known unto you therefore
men and brethren. He goes back to the psalmist
David. He goes back to the prophets.
He goes back and he sums up the entire Old Testament. Those Jews
were familiar with what they called their fathers. He didn't
have to go into detail and read the whole book of Daniel or the
whole book of Isaiah. They knew what he was talking
about. And he went back there far enough and he started down
the line. And he summed up the entire Old
Testament and he said, Be it known unto you therefore, men
and brethren, that through this man, What man? That man David
prophesied of. That man Moses talked about. That man Samuel talked about.
That man Boaz represented in figure, kinsman redeemer. This man, not some other man,
not another Jesus, this man. Be it known unto you therefore,
men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you
the forgiveness of sins. I want you to stop and think
about what he just said. The forgiveness of sins, you
need that? Boy, I do. How am I going to
get it? It's preached unto you. It's preached unto you. God sent
you a man and told you how sin is put away. That's what it is. It's preached unto you. Now it's
not through just any man. It's through this man. It's through this man. It's preached
unto him. And listen to this. And by him,
the same man, all that believe are justified
from all things from which you could not be justified by the
law of Moses. This is a remarkable passage
of scripture. And these two verses he sums
up the teaching of the entire Old Testament through this man.
Salvation's in a person. I don't know what you're going
to get out of what I've got to say, but what I'm trying to do is
show you who this man is. If you ever see who he is, you'll
do what Paul did. He committed all things into
his hand because he was persuaded that he could keep that. Huh? Paul's confidence. Isn't that
what he wrote to the church? He that hath begun a good work
in you will perform it unto that day. You're not going to do that
until you know who this is. Through this man, salvation is
in a purpose. And Paul said, I determine not
to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
Was Paul an ignorant man? No, he schooled to the highest
letter. He could quote poets, Greek poets. He was an educated
man. He could talk about anything,
any subject. Pick it out. He could talk fluently.
He was a wise man. But he said, I did this by determination. Because I know how God saves
sinners, and He said, I determine not to know anything among you
save Jesus Christ and Him crucified. Forgiveness of sin comes by way
of a person. Forgiveness of sins, by Him,
all that believe are justified. Justified. Justification comes
by way of a person. And he said, buy him. Now, I
have a four-point outline this evening, one that I hope will
sum up the ministry which I hope I've been given. Because apart from this, I don't
have anything. And here it is. I'm not sure
if I come up with this, or Henry come up with it, or who did.
It might have been Joe, I don't know. We were in the preacher's
school. Henry had a preacher's school.
And he come in there one Saturday, and he's talking to us about
outlines. And I think I did, but I just
can't remember. It could have been any one of
the men that was in there. But here's the outline. Who is
this man? Why did he come? What did he
do and where is he now? That's what you need to know.
That's what you need to know. So let's begin here. Who is this
man? Well, this man is a representative
man. He came to represent a people. He's a representative man. He's
a federal head, just like Adam was. In Adam all die, even so
in Christ shall all be made alive. He's a representative man. Speaking
of the prophet and psalmist David, Paul said to his hearers that
Antioch of this man's seed hath God, according to his promise,
raised unto Israel. not the world, Israel, a Savior. Beloved, God's purpose to save
a people for the glory of His name through the person and work
of Jesus Christ. Jesus of Nazareth is not one
that God sent as a last resort. Religion has Jesus to be a last
resort. God's about to panic. The multitudes
aren't believing on Him, and He's pacing back and forth over
the banister of heaven, wringing His hands, and He's just desperate.
And He said, I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to
send my son. That's not the gospel. That's not the gospel. God's
purpose to save a people for the glory of his name through
the person and work of Jesus Christ, and he's never altered
from that, never. Jesus of Nazareth is not one
that he sent out of desperation, this one in whom we have redemption,
the forgiveness of sins, it says in Colossians 1. Here's what
it says, he is the image of the invisible God, now listen, the
firstborn of all creation. That every creature, that means
all creation. He's the firstborn. There was
Christ and then creation. There wasn't creation and the
fall and sin and Satan and all that. No, it's Christ. And then comes the rest of the
world. God's purpose in Christ is why
this world was created. Listen to this, Colossians 1.16,
for by Him, who? This man. That's what we're talking
about, this man. Where all things created that
are in heaven, that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether
they be thrones or dominions or principalities or powers,
All things were created by Him, now listen, and for Him. What
do you mean for Him? This world is a stage in which
God is going to manifest His glory. It has no other purpose. And when that purpose is accomplished,
this world is history. He's before all things. Listen
to this. All things were created by Him and for Him. Things in heaven, things in earth,
visible and invisible, thrones, dominions, principalities, towers,
they were made by Him and for Him, and He's before all things,
and by Him all things have a continuance. They all consist. Now listen, and He's the head. What's he talking about? The
federal head of the body, the church. He's the head. He's the head. He is the head of the body, the
church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead,
that in all things he might have the preeminence. The Christ is
the office of the God-man mediator, the Redeemer, the Savior, the
substitute for sinners, and chosen sinners, elect sinners, set apart
by God, upon whom He's going to demonstrate or manifest His
glory. He's going to save some. Well, what about the others?
Are they predestinated to hell? No. No, but he's under no kind
of pressure to save anybody. And nobody deserves it. What he's saying, I'm saying
election's an open door. Wasn't for election, nobody'd
be saved. Paul said to the saints at Ephesus
that the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ hath blessed
us, those believers, those saints, that's who he's writing to. with
all spiritual blessings and heavenly places in Christ according, boy,
how many times that word appeared in Ephesians chapter one, a lot. According as he hath chosen us
in him before the foundation of the world. Why would he do
that? That we might be holy and without
blame. before him in love. Is that talking
about your love? That's talking about being before
him, being loved. That's what that's talking about. He chose us in Christ that we
might ever be secured in the love of God. All things work together for
good to them that love God Oh, you start searching your heart
about that. You'll be worried. You'll be
worried. And then I see that that love
was secured in Christ and just makes me love him more. Huh? That's right. We love him because
he first loved us. Everything God is pleased to
give his people, he purposed in his son before the world began. Paul wrote Timothy a letter.
Well, God wrote it, too. He inspired it. But he sat down
one day and took that pen, and he started to write to Timothy.
And he gets overwhelmed when he starts talking about the grace
of God. Several places, Paul just goes off and starts praising
God. And here's what he told old Timothy. He just barely got
started in 2 Timothy 1, verse 9. And he said, Timothy, God
saved us. He didn't say, I got saved. He
didn't say, He's gonna save. He said, God saved us. And then
He called us. Wait a minute, preacher, you
got that back. No, that's exactly how it reads. God saved us. And then He called us with a
holy calling. Something consistent with the
character of God. He called us with a holy calling.
Not according to our works, but according to His own purpose
and grace which was given us when I believed. No, no. Which
was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began. Grace. Prevenient grace from that time
forward. Nothing but prevenient grace
before grace. Oh, God's record of salvation,
as well as His witness of the same, is that He's given to us
eternal life, and this life is in His Son. Who is this man?
He's the Christ, He's the Son of the living God, Peter said,
and as the eternal representative of His elect, He's put us into
a covenant union with Him, made us one with Him. You can't find
any hope anywhere else. Don't put your hope in a man.
There's plenty of them out here. There's charismatic men. There's
men who, like Henry, could hold you spellbound for an hour and
a half. Don't put your hope in men. Put your hope in Christ. Put it in Him. Listen to this. You're dead. Boy, that's... Would you stand up and tell somebody
that? Paul did. He wrote it down. They wanted
people of all ages to read it. The Holy Ghost inspired him to
write it down. He said, you're dead. Oh, what's
my hope? Oh, my soul. And your life is
hid with Christ in God. That's your hope. And when he
shall appear, then shall we also appear with him in glory. I don't have another hope. Have
you got a hope beyond that? I don't have any hope. That's
it. That's it. All right, here's the second
thing. Why did he come? What brought the Son of God down
from the glory of his Father's house? I guarantee you nobody,
I don't care how they left this world, if you could see Joe tomorrow
and say, Joe, Would you want to come back? No. No. No saint in glory wants to
come back to this world unless God redoes it. So why did He come? What brought
the Son of God down from the glory of His Father? What caused
Him, who thought it not robbery to be equal with God, to be made
of no reputation? I can't, my mind won't even go
there. I don't know anything about perfection and yet here
he is. He's not, he don't think it's
robbery to be equal with God but he made himself of no reputation. He took on him the form of a
servant and was made in the likeness of men. What caused that? Well, he tells
us in his own words in John chapter 6. You can read it for yourself
in verse 38. For I came down from heaven not
to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me. And this
is my father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he
hath given me I should lose nothing. but raise it up again at the
last day. And this is the Father's will,
which has sent me, that everyone that seeth the Son, this man,
and believeth on him may have everlasting life. That's what
brought him down from glory. Why did he come? He came to do
the will of God, to accomplish the will of God. Lo, he said,
I come. In the volume of the book it's
written of me to do thy will, O God, by the which we were sanctified
through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. This is beautifully pictured
over in Revelations chapter 5. I don't have time to put it all
in my message, They begin to weep. The Spirit had carried
John up into glory and he's looking around and he sees one sitting
on the throne and he's holding a book sealed with seven seals.
This is God's purpose, God's eternal decrees, and he's holding
them in his hand. And John said, I begin to weep
because heaven was searched over and there was nobody worthy to
come and take the book, to open the book, not take it, just to
open it, just to open the seal. But then he heard a loud voice,
here's one, one in all glory, one worthy to take the book. You ain't gonna take anything
from God that he don't give. He walks up to him and holds
out his hand, and God hands him the book. And he opens the seals, and oh
my, oh my. Everybody in glory starts to
rejoice. The Lamb, the Lamb as it had
been slain, came and took the book, opened the seals. All right,
here's the third thing. This is why He came. He came
to do the will of God. And this is the one in whom God's
purpose to do all things in Christ. All right, what did He do? What
did He do? Did He do the best He can and
now it's all up to us? I've heard preachers say that. We know who He is. We know why
He came. So what did He do? He did all
that God purposed to do for chosen sinners and all that God purposed
to do to manifest His glory. He did it all. He did it all. He didn't leave
anything undone. He did it all. Now that word manifest, I've
told our folks over and over, it's a nautical term, manifest. The ship's manifest. It's a nautical term. It's the
written record. It's a document listing everything
in the ship. Whose names are written in the
Lamb's Book of Life. Gonna list everything in the
ship. The glory of God. The salvation of sinners. Oh
my soul. Providence. Obedience. Everything that God purposed
to do, He committed to His Son. He committed to His Son. Now
I'm going to leave, I don't often do this, but I'm going to leave
my notes for just a second. I want you to read some. Over
here in Ephesians chapter 1. Verses 9 and 10, he talks about
this mystery, the mystery of his will, and he's made known
to us that mystery. That in the dispensation of the
fullness of time, that word dispensation has to do with economy, the whole
economy of God, the whole economy of God's purpose. And Christ
becomes steward of all things, even time. that in the dispensation
of the fullness of time, he might gather together in one all things
in Christ, both which are in heaven, which are on earth, even
in him, in whom also we have obtained an inheritance being
predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all
things after the counsel of his own will. Now watch this, that
we should be to the praise of his glory who first trusted in
Christ, who gave Him the book. Huh? Here it is. Here it is. If God had not trusted
His Son in all things, He'd have burnt this world to cinders when
Adam sinned. He'd have burnt it up when the
thought entered his head. It'd have been gone. It would
have been ashes. The only reason God preserved
this world after the fall of man is His purpose in Christ. And He trusted all things in
His name. He's going to make it right. And He's going to manifest
the glory of God. Our Lord came into this world
according to the Scriptures when the fullness of the time was
come. That's when He came. He was made
of a woman, made under the law to redeem them that were under
the law that we might receive the adoption of children. Now
adoption I think it's verse 6 of Ephesians 1, to which we're predestinated. That we might receive that adoption.
And everything that a holy God demanded from the sinner, He
demanded the sinner to produce it. Was produced by our Savior, our
representative. You think about that. And even our worship tonight
and the prayers that we pray are made acceptable by Jesus
Christ. There's enough sin in our prayers
and worship to send us to hell. Huh? That's right. He lived a
sinless life of loving obedience. You see, the law, if you're gonna
keep the law and be righteous, you have to keep it continually
from the cradle to the cross. and you have to keep it perfectly
without flaw and you have to keep it being motivated by love. The whole law hinges on the love
of God. Now who can do that? Christ can. And he alone did. He lived a
sinless life of loving obedience, the crowning work of which his
death on the cross manifests. God commended His love to us
while we were yet sinners. Christ died for us. He died the
just for the unjust that He might bring us to God, being put to
death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit. God quickened
us, He said, together with Christ. And when He raised Him from the
dead, He raised us up with Him. When He ascended up to glory,
we ascended up with Him. And when He sat down, He sat
us down together with Him. He entered into heaven one time
with His own blood and obtained. He's not trying to get it. He's
not looking for somebody else to accomplish it. He obtained
it. He took it. He has it in His
hands. Eternal redemption. Can He say? Oh, my soul. When everything was done, commended
his soul to God, committed himself to God, all that he did. And he cried out, it is finished. Is it? Huh? Is it? Then what's wrong with us? Why
don't we embrace it? Why don't we lay hold of it?
Why don't we cling to Him, bow to Him? He's God. And then last of all, where is
He now? Scripture said He ascended up
to His Father, where He now sits at His right hand, making intercession
for us and expecting till all His enemies be made His footstool. He's not talking about making
intercession by a bunch of words. He's not saying, now wait a minute,
Paul. Don't step on him. Don't step on him. No. I'll tell
you how he makes intercession for us, with his presence. His
very presence, his very acceptance at the right hand of God. That's
what makes intercession for us. Oh, he doesn't make that intercession
with words and pleas, but by his person and work. Well, what's
all this mean? That means that neither death,
nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present,
nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature
can separate us from the love of God, now listen, which is
in Christ Jesus our Lord. All that the Father giveth me,
John 6, shall come to me. and him that cometh to me I will
in no wise cast out." Who's going to separate you? It means that
all power in heaven and earth been justly given into our Lord's
hands so that what He has accomplished shall be communicated to all
those whom He redeemed. Standing on that hill, looking
at those apostles, understanding their ignorance, understanding
their weakness, What did he tell them? He said, all power in heaven
and earth is given unto me. It's mine. There's not a gnat
that buzzes or a bee that gets honey. There's nothing moving
on this planet that's not in his power. Now you go preach. Huh? Oh, you don't know who I
preach to. I don't care. It don't matter.
Paul said, he saved me first to demonstrate I was the dregs
of the barrel. He saved me first. Everybody else ought to have
hope. One old fella came to John Newton. And he said, John, did
you hear about old so-and-so down there in County Bath? The
Lord saved him. He said, I'll never despair of
hope again that the Lord can save somebody since he saved
that man. John Newton said, I've never despaired since you saved
me. I'm the chief. And man, if he
saved me, he'd save anybody. That's what we're trying to preach,
a person. We're not trying to preach it.
I know we have to teach, and I know doctrine's necessary.
I understand that, and I teach those things. And you say, well,
one fellow down there said, I know the gospel's important. It's
more than important. It's necessary. He said, I know
the gospel's important, but we got to preach a little law. No,
I don't need any law. With the mind, I serve the law
of Christ. I see that law committed. But
I'm going to tell you something about love. Love don't need a
law. We don't have a law. She married me. She fixes my
breakfast, my lunch, my supper. She helps me with the house,
washes clothes. We don't have no law. You need
love? No, you need love. And I'll tell
you where it's at. It's in His Son. In His Son. Oh, may the Lord convince us
of these things. Thank you. In this man. Through
this man.
