I have good news from God for
you who are his. If you'll open your Bibles to
Isaiah chapter three, the Lord God has sent me as his messenger
to tell you that it shall be well with the righteous. It shall be well with the righteous. That's my message this evening.
What a great, blessed, sweet, comforting message it is. It
shall be well with the righteous. Actually, I have a word from
God for every person who hears my voice. I've come to you both
with a message of comfort and a word of warning. Look here
in Isaiah chapter three, verse 10. Here is a message of comfort,
a word from God to all his people. Say ye to the righteous that
it shall be well with him, for they shall eat of the fruit of
their doings. And here is a word of warning
from God to every rebel, every wicked, unbelieving sinner who
hears my voice. Woe unto the wicked. It shall be ill with him. for
the reward of his hands shall be given him. Are you righteous? Are you righteous? If so, God
Almighty says, it is well with you. It shall be well with you
because you shall eat the fruit of your doings. Are you wicked? Wicked. Then I say with Isaiah, woe unto
you, because you shall receive the just reward of your hands,
you shall surely die. There are but two classes of
people sitting here in this building tonight, but two classes of people
in the world at large, only two classes, the righteous and the
wicked. We all fit into one of those
two classes. You're either righteous or you're
wicked. There's no in between ground.
And it's always been that way. Some are of the seed of the woman,
some of the seed of the serpent. In the first family, there was
a righteous man named Abel and a wicked man called Cain. In
the days of the flood, God destroyed the wicked in his wrath. But
Noah, the representative of the righteous, was preserved in the
ark. Abraham had two sons, a child
of flesh. Everything that is of the flesh
is wicked, is shmiel, and the child of promise. Everything
by God's promise is righteous, Isaac. Isaac had two sons. Esau, the wicked one, whom the
Lord hated, and Jacob, the righteous one, whom the Lord loved. throughout
the ages of history, in this book and throughout history.
God has separated the precious from the vile, the righteous
from the wicked. It is not God's intention that
the two should ever be mixed. The flood came upon the earth,
you'll remember, because the sons of God married the daughters
of men. An unholy alliance was made between
the church of God and the world. And that alliance provoked God
to anger in the highest degree. God Almighty says to all his
people, come out from among them and be you separate. Be not conformed
to the world. Now that call is not so much
a call as the religious world would have you to believe, a
physical separation in your day-by-day lives, calling us to live in
a commune or calling us to have nothing to do with unbelievers,
to be mean and harsh with unbelievers, nothing of the kind, nothing
of the kind. The children of God are folks who must not form
alliances, particularly religious alliances, with the men and women
who hate our God. We must not choose for our companions
those who are the enemies of Christ and the gospel of his
grace. God would have us to maintain
a clear line of distinction between the righteous and the wicked,
the precious and the vile. A young lady called me this week.
I've known her all her life. I've preached the gospel to her
all her life. And she's heard me warn as I've warned the young
people of this congregation, don't let yourself get involved
with an unbelieving person. Don't do it, don't do it. Don't
let your heart get attached to someone who doesn't believe God
so that you find yourself almost incapable of separating yourself
from. If you marry a man, and you're a believer, or you marry
a woman and you're a believer who doesn't worship God with
you, you marry trouble for the rest of your life. But I know
exceptions, I do too, I just caught Bobby's eye. I know exceptions,
God overrules often, but you dare not presume upon God. Our responsibility is crystal
clear. The same is true with regard
to you who are believers and you're adults and you're getting
older. God divided light from darkness. The darkness he called night
and the light he called day, and he would never have us call
light darkness or darkness light. The children of Israel were not
allowed to plow with an ox and an ass together. Now, do you
really imagine that God somehow found that they would be physically
defiled if they put an ox and an ass in the same yoke? Do you
imagine that God cares whether oxen and asses plow together
or not? Of course not. Of course not.
The law was given for a reason. You dare not mix the clean with
the unclean. You dare not bind the clean to
the unclean. For binding the two together,
the clean will always be defiled. They were not allowed to wear
garments of linen and wool together. You couldn't mix the two garments.
It was against the law. Surely God doesn't care whether you
wear linen garments or wool garments in a physical sense. No, he doesn't. No, he doesn't. What's the doctrine
then? The old writers used to call
it Lindsay Woolsey doctrine. You know what Lindsay Woolsey
doctrine is? That's doctrine that mixes the works of man with
the work of God and calls it righteousness. That's doctrine
that mixes what man does and what God does and calls it righteousness. You dare not mix the linen of
your hands and the wool of God's hands together. These things
were forbidden in the law because God was forbidding any unhallowed
mixture of righteousness and wickedness, of truth and error,
of light and darkness. God will have a seed to serve
him and fear him. They shall come without the camp,
bearing the reproach of Christ his son, and they shall be distinct
from the seed of the serpent. The crimson line of distinction
which runs between the righteous and the wicked is the precious
blood of Christ. It is the blood of Christ that
distinguishes us. It is the blood of Christ that
is our righteousness. As that faith in the blood of
Christ grows, the distinction becomes more and more apparent
and necessary, both for the righteous and the wicked, which are you,
righteous or wicked? One of those who believe on Christ
washed in his blood and robed in his righteousness and thus
righteous. Are you among those wicked ones
who believe not the son of God, who look upon the precious blood
of Christ and the righteousness of Christ as useless things? unworthy, unworthy, unworthy,
because you do not discern the body of Christ, because you do
not know your need of the Lord Jesus. May God make you to know
your condition and make you righteous this hour by faith in his son. If you're among the righteous,
I have a message of comfort for you. If you're among the wicked,
a word of warning. Those two points, will be my
message. First, here is a message of comfort
for the righteous. This is God's word that he gives
to me, his servant, and commands me to deliver it to you. Say
ye to the righteous that it shall be well with him, for they He
speaks of the righteous individual. And now he speaks of all the
righteous collectively. They, all of them, every righteous
man, every righteous woman, they shall eat of the fruit of their
doings. Mm, what a good word. What a
good word. Lest I forget to say it, let
me get ahead of myself a little. People have the idea. the foolish,
insane idea. If you live good, you'll get
good things. They shall eat the fruit of their
doings. Not so, not so. David was a man after God's own
heart. Read his family history and tell
me how many good things he found. If you live good, you'll get
good things. God rewards goodness. God rewards perfection. And eating
the fruit of our doings is eating the fruit of what Christ has
done for us, and we did in him the fruit of perfection. They
shall eat of the fruit of their doings. Right in the middle of
this message of doom, the Lord God carefully words a message
of mercy. He's about to bring great calamities
upon the nation, famine, war, and pestilence. But he says to
his righteous ones, who lived among these wicked ones, upon
whom he's about to bring judgment, say you to the righteous, no
matter what comes to pass, no matter the judgment, understand
this, it shall be well with the righteous. There shall no evil
happen to the just. In this context, the Lord God
gives this marvelous promise but the context is all about
wrath and judgment and ungodliness. In the midst of a time of great
judgment, a time of great darkness for the nation of Israel, among
those who were called the people of God who didn't know God, when
the whole nation was given over to idolatry, moral perversity,
the Lord God Almighty says it shall be well with the righteous. Back up to verse one. In this
chapter, we see in the opening verse that Isaiah declares the
consequences of sin upon the nation. Behold, the Lord of hosts,
the Lord, the Lord of hosts doth take away from Jerusalem and
from Judah, the stay and staff, the whole stay of bread and the
whole stay of water. Then in verses two through seven,
the Lord God declared that he would make children rulers over
the nation, not just silly children, but petty, peevish, self-willed,
selfish, childish adults, wicked folks. Have we not witnessed
such in our nation? Indeed, in all the nations of
the world in our day. Morally perverse rulers in the
church house and in the state house are tokens of divine judgment
upon any society. It was in Isaiah's day and it
is in our day. Then in verses eight and nine,
the Lord says, Jerusalem is ruined. Judah is fallen because their
tongue and their doings are against the Lord to provoke the eyes
of his glory. the show of their countenance
death witness against them. And they declare their sin as
Sodom. They hide it not, woe unto their
soul, for they have rewarded evil to themselves. When sin
like a disease runs through the nation and through the professed
church of God, two things are always prominent. Read the Old
Testament again. We're starting a new reading
through the scriptures next week. Read the Old Testament again
and watch. These things are always true. They're always true. Read history
and observe these things. When sin runs through the church
and the state, those who profess to worship God and those who
don't, political and civil rulers and religious rulers, sin rules
everywhere. These things always follow. Idolatry. Idolatry. Idolatry. And everywhere
you find idolatry, you find immorality, specifically named adultery,
fornication, and sodomy. Those things always follow idolatry. My soul, the fact of what we
see as the consequence ought to be enough to convince us we
live in the most idolatrous age ever to be upon the earth. In
every age in history and in every society, the contempt of God,
when those who wear his name and profession cast away the
law of the Lord of hosts and despise the word of the Holy
One of Israel, you can be certain that idolatry and immorality
follow. Woe unto their soul, for they
have rewarded evil unto themselves. having forsaken the rock of ages.
Men will take refuge and worship anything except God, our savior. They will trust the reeds of
Egypt, the myths of Greece, the spirits of Africa, and the mystic
gods of India, rather than worshiping the God of all grace by faith
in his son. You hear people on television,
on the news programs, television programs, and I see very little
of the television programs, just on the news programs. You hear
folks talk about spiritual things, but they talk in the language
of paganism. They talk like the ancient Greeks.
They talk like the ancient idolatrous Romans. They talk like the, Dirty
bearded old men who set out in the dirt in India. They talk
nonsense. Anything other than worship God
as revealed in his son. Blessed, blessed Savior, preserve
us by your spirit and your grace and cause us to see in the darkest
of hours Your just judgment that you alone are God and you alone
are our rock, the rock of our salvation. But God's declaration
of evil has only scratched the surface of things thus far. Read verses 13 through 24. The
Lord God speaks of the daughters of Zion. children of men and
women who profess to be worshipers of God. Following the instruction
of their parents, the daughters of Zion here are described as
looking and dressing and walking and talking like common harlots. When fathers and mothers cast
away God's word, they lead their children to hell. When you cast
away the counsel of God in his word, you take your sons and
daughters by the hand and say, come honey, let me show you how
to go to hell. Children of God take heed to
the glaring testimonials set before us of utter ungodliness. What a reproach it is to the
name of Christ for those who wear his name to dress and behave
shamefully. or to reproach to any man for
his wife and or his daughters to dress indecently. And yet
this is what happens when men and women cast away the law of
the Lord of hosts, as we're told in Isaiah 5 25. Those are the
things that describe the judgment of God upon our nation, upon
our society in this decadent hedonistic age. Still right smack
in the middle of this description of ungodliness and judgment.
This denunciation of woe, the Lord God says to me, his servant,
say ye to the righteous, it shall be well with him for they shall
eat the fruit of their doings. To the righteous. Sitting there
as we were preparing for the message, singing God's praise,
reading his word and praying. I kept trying to think of a passage
in scripture that would be used to suggest there's a time when
believers ought to weep and be sorrowful and mourn. Blessed
are they that mourn, mourn over their sin, but they're blessed.
Broken, yes, broken over their sin. Yes, indeed. But in the
scriptures, we are constantly urged to rejoice and to be glad. We're constantly told to be thankful,
never to murmur, never to complain, never to whine, never to walk
around with our faces downcast, but rather to rejoice. It is
well with the righteous. You and I who are gods ought
to be the happiest, most cheerful, most carefree people in the world. I don't mean carefree in the
sense of irresponsible. I mean free of care. God Almighty says it shall be
well with you. it shall be well. Who are these
men and women that God calls the righteous? None are righteous
by nature, and none of us are capable of making ourselves righteous.
Not even all the religious works, devotions, and sacrifices we
offer to God in the name of Christ can make us righteous. That man,
that woman who's righteous in the sight of God is one God has
made righteous. The only righteous people in
this world are people who've been made righteous by the work
of God, our Savior, Jehovah Sidkenu, the Lord, our righteousness. Now he's done this by three blessed
works of grace. He's done this by His obedience
as our substitute, by His sacrifice as our Redeemer, and by His grace
giving us His Spirit in the new birth. Our Lord Jesus obeyed
God's law for us. performing righteousness for
us, making us righteous before God by his obedience. But his
obedience was both positive and negative. He obeyed the law of
God positively. And then he stood before God
as a lamb, a lamb without blemish and without spot, a lamb who
was made to be dirty with our sin. God made our guilt his guilt. And when he did, God poured out
on him all the fury of his wrath until justice was satisfied and
he took away all our sins. And then he comes by his grace
and gives his people his spirit in the new birth, making us partakers
of the divine nature, putting in us a righteous heart, a righteous
mind, a righteous nature. The old man hasn't changed. The
old nature is not eradicated, not even improved, but he's put
a new man in you if you're born of God, a man created in righteousness
and in true holiness. And that new man is Jesus Christ
the Lord. God says to you who are righteous,
to you who have no sin before him, to you who have perfectly
obeyed his law, to you who are fully just and justified in his
sight, He says to you, it shall be well with the righteous. Children of God, our righteousness
before God is not only a just righteousness, but it is an unalterable
point of law. And the justice as well as the
mercy and grace of God declare that it shall be well with us.
The law of God cannot reverse itself. The justice of God cannot
declare us guilty. But blessed be God, there is
more to salvation than just law and justice. God Almighty has
made us new creatures in Christ, given us a new life in Christ,
a new nature, a righteous disposition, a righteous nature, a righteous
mind, Christ in you. So that we now live with conflict
with ourselves, with our flesh, with the ungodliness of our nature.
But the believer, one who believes on the Son of God is righteous
before God. I don't mean God simply treats
us as though we were righteous. God Almighty will never treat
an unrighteous man as if he were righteous. And he will never
treat a righteous man as if he were unrighteous. God deals with
all men in absolute strict justice. He does that which is right.
God Almighty says that David Coleman is righteous because
David Coleman has been made righteous by his grace. Made righteous, the very righteousness
of God in him. God Almighty says to the righteous,
it shall be well with the righteous. What a promise. Read that statement as broadly
as your heart's imagination will allow. There is no limitation
to the promise. There are no conditions to the
promise. There are no qualifications to the promise. To the righteous,
God simply says, it shall be well. God, who cannot lie, made
the promise. Our hearts respond, well, if
God be for us, who can be against us? It shall be well with the
righteous. When I can see it, and when I
can't. Always, at all times, in all
circumstances, it shall be well with the righteous. No wonder
the Apostle Paul said, in everything give thanks. For this is the
will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. But pastor, you don't know
what's breaking my heart right now. You don't know what's going
on in my house. You don't know what's going on
in my life. You don't know what's taking place. No, I don't. But
if you're righteous, the Lord God says in everything, give
thanks. For this is the will of God in
Christ Jesus concerning you. We have many things over which
we weep as parents and grandparents, as believers, as brothers and
sisters and husbands and wives, many things to make us weep,
many things. But whatever those things are,
as you weep, give thanks to God. This is the will of God in Christ
Jesus concerning you. I don't know how to convey what
I want to convey. It matters not what you experience. It matters not what I experience
in this world. It just doesn't matter what it
is. Doesn't matter what the darkness,
the gloominess, the heaviness, the heartbreaking, it doesn't
matter. Whatever comes to pass in your
life is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. And his
will is well. His will is well. It shall be
well with the righteous when all seems to be ill. Jacob said,
all these things are against me. God said, hang on Jacob,
I'll show you in a little while. This is all for you. Joseph,
look at his life. My soul, look at that man's life. His brothers despised him. He
was sold into slavery. He was misrepresented. He was
abused. He was ill treated by everybody,
by everybody. But Joseph, was on his way to
the throne in Egypt, to be prime minister of Egypt, to have power
to save all of Israel. It shall be well with the righteous.
It shall be well with the righteous when it's ill to everyone else.
During the time of great famine, the widow Zarephath, starving
to death, but God sent his prophet to that one widow, and it was
well with that one widow. When temptation comes, and it
does come, it's well with the righteous, for God will with
the temptation make a way of escape that you may be able to
bury. When trials come, and they will come, blessed is the man that endures
temptation. Blessed is he. Trials come because
of God's grace and mercy, and it shall be well with the righteous.
God will sustain you in trial. When Satan buffets, and we're
weak, it shall be well with the righteous, for then God our Savior
proves his grace sufficient. When we sin, sin we do, all the
time, it shall be well with the righteous. If any man sin, we
have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous, and
he's the propitiation for our sins. When we fall, It shall
be well with the righteous. Peter. Oh, Peter, Peter, Peter, Peter. What a sad, sad, sad way he's
remembered. Denying the Lord Jesus three
times in one night as the Savior suffering in his dead. Finally
cussing and saying, I don't know the man. I don't know the man.
What a horrible fall. What a horrible fall. But the Lord's not done yet. He's not done yet. Watch Peter
when you get to Acts chapter four. That man who trembled before
the maiden. That man who just couldn't stand before that
maiden. Now stands before the Jewish Sanhedrin, bold as a lion. and he would never have known
that strength had he not known the former weakness. Say ye to
the righteous, it shall be well. Micah put it this way. Rejoice
not against me, O mine enemy, when I fall, I shall arise. When I sit in darkness, the Lord
shall be a light unto me. So long as we live in this world,
it shall be well with the righteous. In the hour of death, It shall
be well with the righteous. Some of you will remember our
dear friend, Brother Darryl McClung, the fellow with cleft lip who
came here and visited a couple of times every year until the
Lord took him to glory. He was a dear friend to Shelby
and I all the time we knew him. We drove up to see him just before
the Lord took him home. He was dying with cancer. And
the last word he spoke to us before we left their house that
night to come back to Danville was, it is good to know there's
a man in glory. It's good to know there's a man
in glory that gives hope to this man. Say ye to the righteous,
it shall be well with him. And in the day of judgment, It
shall be well with the righteous. Yes, we must meet God in judgment.
But in that day, we shall eat the fruit of our doings. And
our master will say, come, you blessed of my father, inherit
the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world
and in eternity. Oh, how well it shall be. we
shall see his face, and God shall wipe away all tears from our
eyes, and there'll be no more sorrow nor sighing, because there'll
be no sin and no death. Say ye to the righteous, it shall
be well with him for time and for eternity, well with the righteous. Now the basis of the promise
is given to us as well. How can we be certain that this
promise is good. How can we really believe that
it shall be well with us forever? Let me give you seven pillars
upon which the promise rests. It shall be well with you, my
brother, well with you, my sister, because your greatest trouble
is past. Your sin and your guilt are gone
before God, absolutely gone. And if it's gone before God,
it's gone. He cannot behold iniquity in
Israel because he has put it away. Second, your greatest enemy
has been defeated. Satan, who has a roaring lion,
goes up and down through the earth, seeking to devour our
souls, has no power against us. The Lord Jesus said, now is the
prince of this world cast out. Satan is bound. He has no power
against God's elect. And you are in dwelling sin.
That old man of flesh is doomed soon. Oh, soon. We shall drop
this flesh. that causes us so much trouble
and pain. And we shall be alive under God
in perfection forevermore. Fourth, our God who made the
promise. God said, it shall be well with
you. Our God who made the promise
is God. He rules everything. How many
times do you, or have you said to your sons or daughters in
the midst of difficulty, that's all right. Everything will be
all right. It's going to be all right. And you really didn't know. And
you really couldn't make it all all right because you're just
feeble men and women. But our God who made the promise
rules the universe. That means the promise stands
sure. And fifthly, you and I live upon a bank that will never be
broken. It's called the bank of grace.
Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that
we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Come to the bank of grace and fetch from God what your soul
needs in every time of need. And here's the sixth thing. It
shall be well with the righteous because you're not alone. The Lord God says, I will never
leave thee nor forsake thee. He makes that same promise to
his people three times in scripture. And the promise is given in an
unusual way. If you were to read it in the
Greek text, in Hebrews 13, five, it reads as a redundancy. He uses double negatives, repeated
them. He says, I will never, no, never
leave thee, and I will never, no, never forsake thee. He speaks
plainly, says, it just won't happen. I'm with you. He is your
comforter in you. He is the almighty arm upon which
we may lean, and he is the gracious God walking with us. Seventh,
the very justice of God demands that it be well with the righteous.
for they shall eat of the fruit of their doings." That's what you've done. in the
person of God's dear Son, in union with the Lord Jesus Christ.
Your perfect, righteous obedience to God demands that it shall
be well with you. You see, Christ's righteousness
is your righteousness. Christ's merit is your merit. Christ's obedience is your obedience. Christ's doings are your doings.
His righteousness, His perfection, His holiness is your righteousness,
your perfection, your holiness. Oh, children of God, I hope you
can get hold of this comforting promise of good. Say ye to the
righteous, it shall be well with him. In virtue of our union with
Christ, We are always well, and all our circumstances well, and
all our experiences well, because in Christ, we are one with Christ,
righteous in Christ, and we shall eat of the fruit of our doings.
But there's a dark side to our text. I'll be brief in declaring
it, but declare it I must. Woe unto the wicked. Who are the wicked? The curse of the law and the
judgment of God are upon the wicked. Who are they? It shall
be ill to the wicked always, all the time, in all circumstances,
forever ill with the wicked. And the ill that is with the
wicked is that which they have done. The reward of his hands
shall be given him. Who are the wicked? The wicked
are you who tread under your feet the blood of the Son of
God, despise his obedience, and will not believe on the Lord
Jesus Christ, the wicked. Fallen sinners from a fallen
day in a fallen world with a fallen nature, whose acts are always
the acts of fallen men, whose thoughts are always the thoughts
of fallen men who have no hope. And without God in this world,
you shall receive of the Lord's hand that which is the reward
of your hands. You shall eat the fruit of your
own ways. The wages of sin is death. That means if you go to hell,
it will be your own fault. The work of your hands. Say you
to the righteous that it is well with him. It is well with him. If we knew what God knows, we
would order every event of our lives just exactly as God is
doing it right now. Isn't that something? Order everything, every heartache,
every pain, every joy, every laughter, everything. We would
order it all just like God does. It's well with the righteous. But the wicked, woe to the wicked. Look at Isaiah chapter one, verse
18. Hear God's word to you. Come
now, Let us reason together, saith the Lord. Though your sins
be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they
be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If you be willing
and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land. But if you
refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured with the sword, for
the mouth of the Lord has spoken it. Though all is woe unto the
wicked and woe to you, though you fully deserve to perish under
the wrath of God and the curse of God's holy law, righteousness
and justice. Still righteousness is set before
you in Christ Jesus. It can be had freely. Perfect
righteousness can be had freely. It can be had freely simply by
believing on the Son of God. Believe on the Son of God and
God will give a testimony in your conscience by the sprinkling
of the blood of Christ that you too are righteous in his Son. Charlotte Elliot, who lived in
Brighton, England, was a bitter, bitter woman. bitter. She was
a spinster, 30 years old. Her health was completely broken.
Her disabilities had hardened her heart and her parents were
believers, but she was full of bitterness. On one occasion,
the famous Swiss preacher and hymn writer, Cesar Millan, was
a guest in her parents' home. And as her father and Millan
spoke of God's goodness and mercy and love and grace, Charlotte
just erupted with a violent outburst, terribly embarrassing to her
family before their honored guest. And she said, if God loved me,
he wouldn't have treated me this way. And the parents, sometimes
just so embarrassed, they just got up and left the room. Couldn't
say anything. But the preacher stayed behind and talked to Charlotte
for a little bit. He said, Charlotte, you're tired
of yourself and you're holding your anger and hatred because
you have nothing else to hold to. And she said to him, what
else can I do? He said, the very Christ you
despise can help you. And she softened a bit. She said,
what shall I do? He said, come to Christ. Come
to the Savior with all your fear and all your shame and all your
pride and ask him to have mercy on you and give you grace. And they both retired. And before
the night was over, before the sun arose the next day, Charlotte
awoke in the arms of the Savior, believing him. 14 years later,
she wrote her biography spiritually in one of the best known favorite
hymns in the English language. This is what she wrote. Just as I am without one plea,
but that thy blood was shed for me, and that thou bidst me come
to thee, O Lamb of God, I come. Just as I am, and waiting not
to rid my soul of one dark blot, to thee whose blood can cleanse
each spot, O Lamb of God, I come. Just as I am, though tossed about
with many a conflict and many a doubt, fightings and fears
within, without, O Lamb of God, I come. Just as I am, poor, wretched,
blind, Sight, riches, healing of the mind, yea, all I need
in thee to find, O Lamb of God, I come. Just as I am, thou wilt
receive, wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve, because thy
promise I believe, O Lamb of God, I come. Just as I am, thy
love unknown hath broken every barrier down, Now to be thine,
yea thine alone, O Lamb of God, I come. May God give you grace
now to come to the Savior. Lindsay, let's sing that hymn,
Jesus, I Come. I think it's 249, somewhere in there. Jesus, I
Come.
