Let's look tonight at the book
of Haggai. Haggai chapter 2. Let's turn
to Matthew and back to Malachi, Zechariah, and Haggai. Haggai chapter 2. My subject tonight is Christ,
the desire of all nations. Haggai was inspired of God to
describe our Lord Jesus as the desire of all nations. Now we know that all men since
the sin and fall of our father Adam are born sinners. We go astray from the womb speaking
lies. Every sinner's heart by nature
is enmity against God. The scripture does not say man's
heart is at enmity against God. But his heart is itself enmity
against God. So that man by nature is the
hatred of God. Man by nature is the hatred of
God. These things we understand. The scriptures speak very plainly. There is none that seeketh after
God. And yet, here in Haggai chapter
2, The Lord Jesus is called the desire of all nations. How can that be? How can the
Son of God both be hated of all men and be the desire of all
nations? Let's begin in Haggai chapter
2 and verse 1. This short prophecy of just these
two chapters is given upon the command of God for Israel to
rebuild the temple at Jerusalem. They had begun the work and it
had stopped because the folks were too busy doing other things. And they said, it's not time
to build the Lord's house. This is not the right time. And
Haggai said, you've got time to build your houses. You dwell
in sealed houses. God's house lays over here like
a trash heap. It's time for you to consider
your ways and consecrate yourselves to the calls that God has set
you here to accomplish. And then Haggai goes on with
his prophecy. In the seventh month, in the
one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of the Lord
to the prophet Haggai, saying, Speak now to Zerubbabel, and
to Shealtiel, governor of Judea, and to Joshua, the son of Josedek,
the high priest, and to the residue of the people, saying, Who is
left among you? that saw this house in her first
glory. Who's still living? Which of
you old men who were here before the Babylonian captivity? You
who saw this house as it was originally built by Solomon. And how do you see it now? Is
it not in your eyes in comparison it as nothing you you saw that
former temple and now you see this temple being built and you
recognize the Foundation is not quite the same. It's not going
to be the same size. It's not going to be of the same
magnificence It's not going to be the same structure and you
look at it as being nothing Yet now verse 4 yet now be strong. Oh Zerubbabel saith the Lord
Be strong old Joshua son of Joshedek, the high priest. And be strong,
all ye people of the land, saith the Lord, and work. For I am
with you, saith the Lord of hosts. You put your hand to the work
I've given you to do, and I'm with you. According as the word
that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, so my
spirit remaineth among you. Fear ye not. Don't fear anyone
hindering you. Don't fear the possibility of
failure. Fear you not. I'm with you. For
thus saith the Lord of hosts. Yet once it is a little while
and I will shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and
the dry land. And I will shake all nations
and the desire of all nations shall come. And I will fill this
house with glory, saith the Lord of Hosts. The silver is mine,
the gold is mine, saith the Lord of Hosts. The glory of this latter
house shall be greater than of the former, saith the Lord of
Hosts. And in this place will I give peace, saith the Lord
of Hosts. Now obviously, Haggai writes
by divine inspiration about the house and temple of God, that
physical structure they were building. But his prophecy that
we just read reaches far beyond that physical structure. After
all, that second temple, that rebuilt temple, never compared
really with the temple that Solomon built. For one thing, after the
Babylonians took all the furnishings out of the house, the Ark of
the Covenant was never recovered. So that in that second temple
there was never a mercy seat, never an ark of covenant, never
a place of propitiation, never a place where symbolically God
would meet with man and display his forgiveness of sin. That
where God showed his glory behind the veil was not there in that
second temple. And yet the Lord speaks by his
prophet and says that this latter house shall be more glorious
than the former house. What's he talking about? Obviously
he's talking about something spiritual. Obviously he's not
talking about that physical structure that the Jews were building,
but that which was represented in the structure. He's talking
about the house and church and temple of God. True, the Lord
Jesus came into this second temple. After he was circumcised, his
parents brought him to the temple where Simeon picked him up and
said, Lord, now let us now thy servant depart in peace. My eyes
have seen thy salvation. But he never revealed his glory
in that temple. He never showed anything of his
majesty as the God-man our Savior in that temple. He showed himself
in the temple driving the money changers out. He showed himself
in the temple overturning the tables of the money changers,
saying my house should be called the house of prayer. But his
glory was never revealed in that second temple. What's he talking
about then? He's talking about the church and kingdom of God,
the building of his church and kingdom, wherein he shows his
glory. And he says the glory of this
spiritual house far exceeds the former house that you thought
was so grand. And the glory of that house,
when complete, is the revelation of the glory of God. Haggai was
encouraging Zerubbabel, Joshua, and the children of Israel to
go forward in the work of rebuilding the temple at Jerusalem. And
yet all the commentators that have any repute at all are agreed
that the words here are prophetic. Prophetic pointing to the coming
of our Lord Jesus Christ. Some say Haggai's words speak
of the Lord's incarnation and his first coming in humiliation
to accomplish redemption. Others tell us, no, Haggai's
words speak of the Lord's second coming at the end of time, his
glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior, Jesus Christ. And still others say, no, Haggai
is talking about the Savior coming spiritually in the work of his
grace, putting his grace and life in you, giving you the knowledge
of him, taking up residence in his elect in the new birth. Well,
Brother Don, what do you say? I say that's exactly right. That's
exactly what he's talking about. The words of Haggai's prophecy
can only be properly understood when you understand that Haggai
is talking about the coming of Christ. Him coming in his incarnation
to accomplish redemption for the revelation of God's glory.
Him coming at the last day in the glory of his majesty as our
sovereign king, triumphant over all things. And Haggai is talking
about him coming in his saving operations of grace to his chosen
people. Now this evening, I want us to
focus just on verses 6 and 7. Haggai 2, verses 6 and 7. Thus
saith the Lord of hosts. Thus saith God who's in charge. Thus saith the Lord who rules
everybody, everywhere, all the time. He's the Lord of hosts. Heavenly host, earthly host,
and hellish host. He is the Lord of all. Yet once,
it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens and the earth
and the sea, and the dry land. And I will shake all nations,
and the desire of all nations shall come. And I will fill this
house with glory, saith the Lord of hosts. Twice the prophet tells
us that Christ's coming is preceded by a shaking, a shaking of heaven,
earth, and sea, the shaking of all things natural. I take that
to mean this. Nothing is ever the same after
Christ comes. Nothing is ever the same after
Christ comes. That's true with regard to his
incarnation. That's true with regard to that
which will take place when he comes in his glorious second
advent. And that's true in the lives
of his elect in the experience of his grace. Nothing is ever
the same after Christ comes. Everything is forever changed
by the appearance of the great God and our Savior, the Lord
Jesus Christ. First, let me talk about the
shaking, and then I'll talk a little bit about the desire of all nations. First, Haggai speaks of a great
shaking, a great shaking that always not occasionally, but
always attends the coming of our Lord Jesus. Wherever Christ
is found, shaking precedes Him. Shaking goes before Him. The shaking prepares the way
before Him, and is prophetic, telling us that the Son of God
is at hand. Let me see if I can remind you
of a few instances. You remember when God gave his
law at Sinai, the scriptures speak of a fire and lightning
and smoke and the mountain did quake. The very mountain of Sinai
quaked as God came down to give his law at Sinai. Oh God, when
thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march
through the wilderness, the earth shook. The heavens also dropped
at the presence of God. Even Sinai itself was moved at
the presence of God, the God of Israel. In the second chapter
of Joel, we're told about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ
and his coming into this world, the sure token, the sure evidence
of his coming. I will show wonders in the heavens
and in the earth. blood and fire and pillars of
smoke. The sun shall be turned into
darkness and the moon into blood before the great and terrible
day of the Lord come. I will not now delve into the
significance of those things and probably will not later.
I don't pretend to understand all that's intended to be taught
by those things. But clearly he's talking about
something more than just the physical shaking. It is true
when our Lord Jesus hung upon the cursed tree, the sun turned
into darkness. There was three hours of darkness
when he who is the son of God, he who knew no sin was made sin
for us. And God forsook his son. And
when he cried, it is finished and bowed his head and said,
Father, into thy hands, I commend my spirit, gave up the ghost.
The earth shook. And the graves were opened. The
veil in the temple was rent in twain. And many of the bodies
of the saints arose and walked into the holy city that day.
Surely then, he's talking about something inexplainable. Something that we can't really
begin to give a description of. But he's speaking of something
spiritual as well. He shakes everything that can
be shaken. so that those things that cannot
be shaken remain and are steadfast. He shook the heavens. He shook
the earth. He shook the sea, destroying
all the former things men thought to be so great. And he comes
to replace those with better things. at our Lord's glorious
second advent, when it comes the second time in power and
in great glory and calls the dead out of the graves, the righteous
and everlasting life and the wicked and everlasting condemnation. Peter tells us the day of the
Lord will come as a thief in the night in the which the heavens
shall pass away with a great noise and the elements shall
melt with a fervent heat. The earth also and the works
that are therein shall be burnt up. This shaking, this removing
of those things that are shaken so that those things that cannot
be shaken may remain, as we're told in Hebrews chapter 12, speaks
of the Lord Jesus stepping in and removing things. Every divine
interposition is the complete abrogation of that which Christ
replaces. Every divine interposition is
the complete abrogation of that which Christ replaces. He taketh
away the first that he may establish the second. That's what Paul
tells us in Hebrews chapter 10 verse 9. He taketh away the first
that he may establish the second. What are you driving at pastor?
The Lord Jesus came to fulfill all the old covenant of the law. He came to fulfill it all. And
when he fulfilled all the old covenant of the law, he took
the old away and brought in the new. Brought in the new and everlasting
covenant of his grace. When he came to fulfill the law,
He said the Son of Man didn't come to destroy the law, but
to fulfill the law. And when he fulfilled the law,
he didn't destroy it. Don't ever let anyone tell you,
Thurton says the law's been destroyed. Oh no, a thousand times no. No, he fulfilled the law. And when he fulfilled the law,
he took it away. He took it away. so that the
old covenant has been taken away and the new established. You
mean, Brother Don, we're no longer under the law? I think that's
what that means. Christ is the end of the law
for righteousness to everyone that believe it. You who believe
are dead to the law by the body of Christ. When our Lord Jesus
came and was made sin for us. When he was made sin for us. He took sin away. I was sitting here this evening
praying, God forgive the horrid coldness and indifference of
my heart. And Frank read that passage in
the 103rd Psalm. He hath not dealt with us after
our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. But as far
as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions
from us. Merlehart, he took our sins away. Go. Did you hear what Jesus said
to me? They're all taken away. Your sins are pardoned and you're
free. They're all taken away. Christ came to destroy the works
of Satan and in him is no sin. So that the Lord Jesus, when
he bare our sins in his own body on the tree, bear our sins to
the full satisfaction of divine justice. And he is portrayed
as both the Paschal lamb slain because of sin made his and as
the scapegoat taken out into the wilderness and let go and
never seen again. That's what he's done with our
sins. He's removed them from us as far as the East is from
the West. The Lord Jesus came here to die. And when he died, he took death
away. He took death away. Well, Brother Don, we've all
got to die. Not me. Not me. Not a possibility. Not a possibility. I died in
Christ. I'm simply going to drop this
body of flesh. How about you? Our Savior said, he that liveth
and believeth on me shall never die. We use the term, we use
the term. I just got a note from a friend
and his wife, you know, in England, dear friends, her daddy died
today. Ham's brother died last week
and these bodies must die and true the scripture speaks of
us as these bodies dying But our Lord Jesus teaches us to
understand for you and I who are his it is not death to die
For you and I who are his, it is but the cessation of death
for these bodies to be put in the grave. Just the cessation
of death for our souls to leave these tabernacles of clay. Here
we are dying. Now we are dying. Soon, Brother
James, we're going to live. We're going to sure enough live.
Our Lord Jesus died that he might take death away. And death is not a possibility
for those for whom he died. when our Lord Jesus was made
a curse for us. He took the curse away so that
there is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus.
Particularly when the Son of God comes in saving grace, when
he comes to the hearts of chosen sinners, oh, what a shaking he
makes. as he lays judgment to the line
and righteousness to the plummet and sweeps away our refuge of
lies. I told you this morning about
Brother Ryan Heller, raised all his life by faithful mom and
dad, raised on the sound of the gospel, raised by parents and
grandparents serving God in what's got to be the most difficult
part of the world there is to live in, in Papua New Guinea,
amongst tribal people, raised in that environment, and what
we'd call a good fella. Always pleasant. I've known him
a long time. Always pleasant. Delightful fella.
Never knew him to get out of the way or do anything out of
sorts. I'm sure he did, but I didn't know anything about it. Never
anything like that. Brilliant fella. And come to
church and listen. Always complimentary to me. Always
real nice to me. Every time I'd preach. And he
said, I just heard it, but I never heard it. And the last couple
of weeks I began to hear. And oh, what terror, what fear. You see, when Christ
comes, he shakes everything. He shakes everything, destroys
everything in which you can find comfort and peace for your soul
without him. He always strips that he may
close. He always lays low that he may
lift up. He always abases that he may
exalt. He always disturbs that he may
give peace. He always wounds that he may
heal. He always condemns that he may
justify. He always kills that he may make
a life. Isn't it amazing when you read
the scriptures, the Lord speaks in himself like this, I kill
and I make a life. Nowhere in this book, Frank,
does he say I make alive and I kill. Nowhere, nowhere. He does that. He's the one who
gave you life and he's the one who's going to take your life
away. But nowhere does he describe himself that way. He speaks of
himself as our God, the Lord who kills and the Lord who makes
alive because he always slays before he makes a life. Paul
said, I was alive without the law once. And then the commandment
came, sin revived and I died. I died. I died when Christ made
me alive. He always does things that way.
And I'll tell you something else. He always defiles before he cleanses. I'm not looking for something
to say, I want that to soak in good. God's not going to save
you until God makes you a sinner. God's not going to be gracious
to you till God makes you know your need of grace. God is not
going to show mercy until you know you need mercy. God will
not wash you in the precious fountain of his son's precious
blood until you are defiled before him. And he will not clothe you
with his righteousness and the garments of his salvation until
you're naked before him. That's what he does. There is
always a shaking that announces the coming of Christ. First,
the Lord God declares that he will shake all nations. And when he shakes the nations,
he says, the desire of all nations shall come. Now, this is where
we've seen this prophecy clearly speaking of our Lord Jesus Christ. How can it be said that the Lord
Jesus is the desire of all nations. That he is the desire of men,
though none know it until he is received by them and in them. In the sense that he alone can
fulfill the desire that's in them. Let me give you six or
seven things. Six or seven things that all
human beings crave. I'll tell you something you won't. Some things you want, some things
that when you are just a small child, boy or girl, and you begin
to think about life and death and eternity, some things that
you crave. You may have never put them in
just these words, but I'm going to guarantee these are things
that everybody in the world desires. And they're found only in Christ.
All right. Here's the first man by nature. Wants a visible God He wants
God he can see turn over first John chapter 1 first John chapter
1 Now this fact is evident if you just look at any point in
history at any point in the world there is no place where you will
find fallen human beings and who had not shown a craving for
a God they can see and touch. That's the reason they make themselves
gods. The children of Israel. Moses
is up in the mountain. We don't know what's happened
to that man. Aaron, make us gods. Gods that we can see. Gods that
we can touch. And so Aaron made them their
golden calves. Gods they could see and touch.
You can feel this God. You can look at him. Oh, he's
magnificent. He's gorgeous to look at. He's
big. He's strong. You can lean on
him. He can't do anything, but there he is. There he is. Christ. is God you can see. Without controversy,
great is the mystery of godliness. God was manifest in the flesh. The word was made flesh and dwelt
among us. Now watch how John describes
him. First John chapter 1 verse 1. That which was from the beginning,
which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which
we have looked upon, in our hands have handled of the word of life
for the life was manifested and we have seen it and bear witness
and show unto you that eternal life which was with the father
and was manifested to us he's talking about the lord jesus
that eternal life which was with the father and was manifested
to us this is what we've seen this is what we've handled this
is what we've heard That which we have seen and heard declare
we unto you that you may have fellowship with us and truly
our fellowship is with the Father and with the Son. Christ is the
embodiment of God. That man seated in glory is himself
God. Now listen carefully. My bestest,
he is all that God is. He's God. I don't mean He's part
of God. I don't mean He shows a portion
of God. He is God in Him. That one who came here through
the womb of the Virgin, that one who nursed at his mother's
breast, that one who grew as a child in wisdom and in stature,
that one who walked on the earth in righteousness and obedience
to God, that one who died as our substitute and rose again,
that one who set Chandra in glory, he is God. In him dwelleth all
the fullness of the Godhead bodily. God, we've seen and heard. and our hands have handled. I'm
not declaring to you secondhand information. I'm declaring to
you someone I know. He is God. First thing, men desire. Men want a God they can see.
Second, all human beings, everywhere in the world, throughout history,
crave a satisfactory atonement. An atonement for sin. that will
satisfy their own consciences before God. That means a satisfaction
for sin, an atonement for sin that will satisfy God's justice,
thereby satisfying the demands of conscience. All men want that. Some of you have been with me
down to Mexico and visited the Mayan ruins and you've seen these
things on television. It takes on a little bit more
meaning when you had been there. As y'all know, I don't do much
of heights. But once, before I realized how steep those things
were, I climbed up those ruins. First time I was down there.
Turned around and looked down and thought I was gonna fall
off, but I climbed up there. Do you know what they did there
where folks go every year and see the snakes move up down the
sides of those things? You know what they did? That's
where they sacrificed young, beautiful, virgin maidens to
God. made sacrifices, they would capture
other peoples to make sacrifices to God, to return for sin. Well, no man would do that. A
man who's conscious of guilt demands satisfaction. He wants
some way he can meet God without fear. And so he will make any
sacrifice necessary, even to the sacrificing of his own sons
and his own daughters. Man wants one who satisfies God. Christ is he. Christ is that
one who alone satisfies divine justice and satisfies the guilty
conscience. He who knew no sin was made sin
for us. Christ redeemed us from the curse
of the law, being made a curse for us. He, in his own body,
bare our sins on the tree. He suffered the just for the
unjust. Why? That he might bring us to
God. Now I see how God can save my
soul. Now I see how God can pardon
me. Now I understand how God can
completely vindicate me before his holy law and never bend his
law and never compromise his justice. His son fulfilled it
all. His Son brought in everlasting
righteousness. His Son put out his life unto
death. His Son, the God-Man of infinite
worth and may, calls He is God. Bore all the fury of God's wrath
until the sword of justice is swattered up in Him. And God
says to Jacob, fury is not in me. Here's a third thing, all
men won't. an accessible God. All men, all
women in all nations desire a God who speaks and can be spoken
to. A God who makes himself known
and a God to whom we can make ourselves known. A God with whom
we can have communion. A God with whom we can have communion. I read in the book that Abraham
was called the friend of God. Isn't that something? The friend of God. Larry Brown
too. The friend of God. The friend
of God. Moses spoke Face to face with
God. Face to face with God. I do too. Manoah and his wife saw God personal
and up close. You see, the Lord Jesus, our
God, makes his will known to us as his friends. Is this what
he said? I call you not servants, but
I call you friends. No man tells his servant what
he's doing, but you're my friend. I tell you everything I'm doing.
You're my friend. You're my friend. So that those
who are his are men and women befriended of God who are the
friends of God being reconciled to God in the person of his son.
So we can draw near to God. Draw near to him. Let us come
boldly to the throne of grace. Draw near to God on his throne. There was a thick veil separating
the holy place from the holy of holies in the tabernacle in
the temple. When Christ said into thy hands,
I commend my spirit and gave up the ghost and cried, it is
finished. that thick veil God split it
into and said, Come on in. Come on. So he bid sinners come
to him by faith in Christ Jesus and tells them as they are bitten
that they're welcome to come. And before all men want a mediator,
someone a daysman, a daysman between us and God. I've told
you this before, years ago, Brother Charlie Payne, who was an elder
at Ashland, Kentucky, Brother Mayhem was pastor there, was
on an airplane, got on a plane, he happened to get bumped up
to first class, and he was seated beside a fellow, a Jewish fellow. And Charlie, never missing a
chance to bear witness to the Redeemer, struck up a conversation. And he asked the fellow, he's
sitting there with one of those, I don't know what they call them,
little caps on the back of their head, skull cap, whatever you
call it, I think. And Charlie said, I've often wondered, if
you don't mind me asking, why do you all wear those? And the
fellow said, oh, sir, no, I don't mind you asking. He said, we
Jews have such reverence for God that we recognize we must
have something between us and God. And that's what it represents. We've got to have something between
us and God. Charles, that's amazing. I believe
the same thing. Let me tell you about it. And
proceeded to tell him there is one mediator between God and
man, the man Christ Jesus. A mediator, God in his holiness,
me in my sin. God in his purity, me in my filth. God in his hallowed person, me
in my utter impiety. God in his purity, me in my degradation. But Christ Jesus lays hold of
me and lays hold of God. and brings God and man together
in the perfection of his person, and is the mediator, the daysman
who brings God and man together in perfect harmony with God Almighty,
the mediator, the only one by whom you can draw near to God.
Number five, all people desire a sure savior, a sure deliverer,
One who can and will save. One upon whose arm we can confidently
lean. No matter what. In sorrow, in trial, in bereavement,
in sickness, and even as you walk through the valley of the
shadow of death. What a blessing it is to have
a sure Savior, one on whose arm you can confidently lean and
know that all is well. I've spoken to a good many of God's saints in their last moments
on this earth. It's a great privilege, great
privilege. I can hear them. Brother Darryl
McClung said to me, the last words he spoke to me before God
took him off this earth, Shelby and I were up visiting with him
up in Richmond, West Virginia, Richwood, West Virginia. And
he said, it's good to know there's a man in glory I can trust. Oh, to have a sure savior. Jesus Christ, that one who suffered
and died in the room instead of sinners at Calvary, is a sure
Savior. He is able to save to the uttermost
all who come to God by him. Number six. This goes in the
same thing. All the nations crave and desire
an accepted substitute. an accepted sacrifice. I don't know how many times,
oh, I can't count them. I wouldn't try, but I couldn't
count them if I tried. I don't know how many times I've
had folks come to me and say, but Brother Don, I don't know
if it's enough. I don't know if I've repented
enough. I don't know if I'm sorry enough for my sins. I don't know
if I've done enough. make whatever sacrifices you
can and you realize you're still not enough. Still not enough. Not enough. That's what Rome
has always lived on. That's what most religion lives
on. Keeps folks in intimidation all the time. Yes, you've made
sacrifices, but it's not enough. You've got to have more. Got
to have more. Got to do more. Got to make greater
restitution. And every man knows he can't. But Jesus Christ, is an accepted
substitute, an accepted sacrifice. You see, God only accepts perfection. God only accepts what God provides. God only accepts what God performs. God gave his son as the lamb,
the lamb of sacrifice, and God accepted his son as the sacrifice. He was delivered to the hands
of justice, sacrificed under the justice and law of God for
our sins, and raised again for our justification to declare
that God has accepted him. God has accepted him a sweet
smelling savor and he accepts us in his son a sweet smelling
savor to God. One last thing, one last thing. Everybody, everybody wants assured
immortality, assured Immortality. I know people talk Like they
don't believe this such thing as heaven and eternity or soul
and life after death. That's that's all Boogeyman religion,
that's all scare tactics. That's all stuff you got because
of your environment and all that stuff You go ahead and believe
that if you can Go ahead and take that to hell with you if
you can if you can I But I know and you know when you say it,
you're lying through your teeth. There is stamped in your soul
a God consciousness and a sense of guilt and sin from which you
cannot escape. And you know that you're going
to meet God in judgment. Oh, that I might have an assurance
of immortality. He that believeth on the Son
of God hath everlasting life everlasting life Christ comes shakes everything
and nothing's ever the same again Christ comes and fulfills every
desire of a man's soul. And he's the only one who can.
He fulfills every desire of my soul. Not most, every desire
of my soul. This one thing have I desired
of the Lord. that I may dwell in the house
of the Lord forever and behold the beauty of the Lord in his
temple. Christ is the desire of all nations
and he satisfies the desire of every soul coming to him. All
my life long I had petted for a draft from some cool spring
that I hoped would quench the burning of the thirst I felt
within, feeding on the husk around me till my strength was almost
gone, longed my soul for something better, only still to hunger
on. Poor was I and sought for riches,
something that would satisfy, but the dust I gathered around
me only mocked my soul said cry. Well of water ever springing,
bread of life so rich and free, untold wealth that never faileth,
my Redeemer is to me. Hallelujah. I have found him
whom my soul so long has craved. Jesus satisfies my longing. Through His life, I now am saved. Amen.
