Turn back with me to Hebrews, the second chapter. I've taken
this statement out of verse 9, but we see Jesus. And that's what I titled my message
this morning, and I pray by the grace of God that's going to
be the content of it. We see Jesus. In verses 5, 6, 7 and 8, Paul quotes Psalm 8, and he talks
about man that God had made. Who is man that they are mindful
of him? God made creation. Think about
it. He spoke this world into existence
and created the grass and the fields and the oxen and the birds
and the fish and the seas and said to the waves, you can come
this far, but you're not coming any further than this. God made
all these things, and then he made man, and he put man over
his creation. And David said, Who is man but
thou art mine for him? What makes him so special above
all your creation? And you can go back there and
read in Psalm 8 that it talks about this creation. It talks
about the works of his hands. He talks about all the sheep
down in verse 7, and oxen. Yea, and all the beast of the
field, the fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever
passeth through the paths of the sea." That's what he's talking
about. He's talking about man. He's talking about man in general. Man freshly created of God. He
put all these things under his feet. But he said, we look around
now and I don't see everything under his feet. In fact, I hardly
see anything under his feet. Man can't hardly do anything
he wants to do. The Apostle Paul said, I would
do good, and the good that I would do, I do not. The evil is not
under his feet. The evil that he would not do,
he said, that's what I do. That's not under his feet. Salvation
is not under his feet, because he can't satisfy God. If he could
satisfy God, there would be no need for that priest. There would
be no need for that sacrifice. He said there is a remembrance
made every year of sins. He hasn't subdued sin. He hasn't pictured that image
of God. He hasn't done any of those things,
none of those things. He said we look and those things
ain't under his feet. But we see Jesus. When I think about man, I think
about him. Man is not put here for these
things. David said, here is the thought
in your mind, natural Israel. You think that you were put here
for the blessings of God, that you were put here and God is
just going to freely give you all these things and they are
yours to do with whatever you will. Paul said that is not what
man was put here for. We see Jesus. You see what I
am saying? The first Adam and there was
the second Adam. That first Adam is nothing more
than a figure of the second. Let me show you that. Turn with
me over to Romans chapter 5. This is not a part of my message,
but I want to show you what this says over here in Romans chapter
5. He is talking about sin. He said
it entered into the world, verse 12, by one man, and death by
sin, and that death passed upon all men, and the evidence is,
all have sinned. For until the law, verse 13,
sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed where there is
no law. Nevertheless, death rang from Adam to Moses, even over
them who had not sinned the same way that Adam did. Now, listen
to what it says about Adam. who is a figure of him that was
to come. That's what the psalmist David's
talking about over in Psalm chapter 8. He's talking about the Son
of God. He said, Who is man that thou
art mindful of him, or the Son of man that thou visitest him? Now, we're talking about God
becoming a man and visiting men. That's what we're talking about.
That's the content. That's the content. But he said,
we see Jesus. We don't see these things and
stir these questions in our mind about things being in subjection
to men. We see these things as they were
to be in subjection to Him. I told you in the lesson in John
this morning that hearing the historical name Jesus with just
a general and universal testimony about His coming, and some legal
understanding of my sin have little or no impact on my mind
or my heart concerning God. They just don't. He's a nobody. He can't do anything he wants
to do. He's no more than a frustrated reformer sent to listen to what
they're saying. He wants to say, but can't. He
wants to do something, can't. He wants to fulfill his purpose
and can't. He can't because man won't let
him. What kind of God do you got? What kind of God do you
have that can't accomplish His will? That's not the living God. The living God is a sovereign
God. He said, I declare the end from the beginning and from ancient
times the things that are not yet done, saying my counsel shall
stand and I'll do all my pleasure. Nobody is going to withstand
His hand. Nobody. Not man, not circumstance,
not history. In fact, this wisdom is so great
and so immense that he can declare the end from the beginning. And
he knows what it's going to be. He's going to bring it to pass.
Over there in Romans chapter 8, that golden chain of assurance,
the old writers call it, where he talks about all these things
that lead down to this inseparable affection of God in Christ that
can't be separated from its object, all down through there. He talks
about whom He did foreknow. That word is foreordained. God
foreordained this object of His love, and nothing is going to
separate it. And those that He foreordained,
He also called and justified and predestinated. You can just
go on and on and on with it. Read Romans chapter 8. That's
why all things work together for good to them that love God,
to them who are called according to His purpose. Because God's
hand cannot be resisted. He accomplishes His will. Those
old heathen kings, they all got together. And they said, you
know, the Jews, this whole thing is just upsetting the apple cart
here in Rome, and we're going to take over the world. We can't
have this. We can't have this division.
We can't have this controversy. And probably, I know this man
is innocent, but the best thing to do for the advantage of all
Rome is take him out and put him on a cross. And so they got
together. And the Gentiles was behind them.
And the Jews got with them because they didn't want him either.
And they all got together and began to plot this and plot that
and hire false witnesses and do everything they needed to
do to put him on a cross. And over there in Acts chapter
4, when they did everything that they designed to do, they did
what God's hand and God's counsel determined before to be done.
Now, ain't that what it says? So when I'm talking about the
irresistible will of God, I'm talking about the living God
who rules providence and who rules everything that is. And He took this rule and He
put it into the hands of a mediator king. And that came. We see Jesus. That's what he's
talking about. We see Jesus. Now, let me see
if I can illustrate what I'm saying here. Before the coming
of Christ, here was natural Israel. And natural Israel, they had
the Word of God. They had the ceremonies given
to them of God. They had dietary laws and instructions
concerning what to eat and what not to eat. They had civil laws.
telling them how to treat one another and what to do on this
occasion or that. They had moral laws that told
men what to do and what to avoid doing. They had all these things.
They had ceremonies and rituals. They had all these things in
their history. They had a longstanding religion
with men that God confirmed, men that they knew like Moses
and David, a man after God's own heart. They had all these
things in their history. What they couldn't swallow is
when these apostles stood up and told them that everything
in their history was of no value whatsoever, except as it pointed
to a Redeemer. Boy, they couldn't handle that.
They can't handle that. You mean all these prophets? The nation of Israel, our integrity
in the world, the glory of Solomon and David and the tabernacle
and the Ark of the Covenant, haven't you read the Old Testament?
It has no intrinsic value in it whatsoever. Read through there
and find out. That serpent of brass that they
hung up on that pole, and God said everybody that looks on
it, they're going to live. They found that thing some years
after. And Israel began to worship the
serpent. That serpent didn't have any
value in it. It's who that serpent pointed
to. And you can read about him over here in the book of John,
just a little farther on. We're going to get into that.
He said, as the serpent was raised up, so shall the Son of Man be
lifted up. Whosoever looketh on Him, believeth
on Him, will have everlasting life. And that's what these apostles
came preaching. They came preaching that the
Lord Jesus Christ was not just a person born in time, but He
was the eternal mediator. This was God's ordained man from
eternity. Now, I'm telling you, the name
Jesus doesn't mean anything in our day because they don't know
anything about who He is. And if you don't know about who
He is, you don't know anything about the living God. God's character,
God's integrity, God's name is declared in what this man manifested
on this earth. Who He is. In Israel, they were
okay with all these things. They had a priesthood. I'm telling you, they had the
sacrifices. They had incense burners. They
had that tabernacle with the division and the veil, and the
common priest could go in the courtyard. Men couldn't do anything. Everything had to be done by
priests. Everything. Just a member of Israel, if he
wasn't a Levite and a priest of God, he couldn't even go in
the courtyard. He couldn't go anywhere. All he could do was
just come up and hand whatever he had to the priest. And then
the priest would take it up and do what he needed to do before
God. And they had all these things. And they were happy with those
things. They were okay with that. They were okay with that. The
controversy came when John the Baptist came along and said,
let me tell you who this man is. And let me tell you what
these ceremonies meant. Let me tell you the value of
them. These things were but a schoolmaster to bring you to Christ to be
justified by faith. These things, this is nothing
more than a schoolmaster. I look around today and this
world is just filled with carryover from those old things. Priesthood. Catholicism is not the only religion
that has a priesthood. There are a lot of Protestant
churches that have carried over that old priesthood. I don't
need a priest. Christ is my priest. Christ is
my priest. That man over there in Rome,
what do they call him? The Pope? He'll put on that big
mitre and the linen britches. Where in the world did they get
the idea that he needed to wear a mitre and linen breeches? Old
Testament. Read about it. Go back in the
book of Leviticus. Everything they do in Catholicism
was established in Israel thousands of years ago back in the book
of Leviticus. Read about it. The incense, you've
seen them in their Catholic ceremonies on TV with the little incense
puffers. The high priest did that. He
took that incense in. under the veil and put it there
on the hot coals. And it said it rose up a sweet
savor to God. All pictures of Christ's intercessory
prayers for His people. And then they've got the incense
burners and they've got the showbread and the candlesticks. Even the
ransom money, the redemption money under the Old Testament,
they call that buying their way out of purgatory is what they
call it. Same thing. It's redemption. Redemption money. All those things. Where did religion
ever get the idea of putting an altar down front? You reckon
they just sat around and dreamed that up one day? No. They found
it in the Old Testament and they carried it over to the new. And
then they put them a little bench down there because all these
Old Testament patriarchs, they all built an altar out of rocks. And they'd kneel down there and
pray to God and offer their sacrifices and all these things around an
altar. So somebody said, well, we need to get an altar in our
church. All carryovers. Carryovers from
that Old Testament. And I'm telling you the truth. Easter, Christmas, Good Friday,
the Passover, Sabbath day. Sunday's not the Christian Sabbath.
I'm so sick of hearing it. Christ is my Sabbath. He's my rest. Come unto me, He
said, all you that worry and heavy laden. I'll give you rest. Here's the rest. The rest isn't
in the day, the rest is in the man. Read Hebrews chapter 4. Rest. Everything in the old economy
was established for one reason, to point men to Christ, to lay
a foundation. And Paul said other foundations
can no man lay than that which is laid in Christ the Lord. Well,
what foundation is that? I think it's Ephesians chapter
2. We built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets,
both of them, Old and New Testaments, Jesus Christ himself being the
chief cornerstone. That temple was foretold in the
garden at the fall, and it was developed and told and increased
in detail all through the Old Testament to the coming of Christ. And the coming of Christ was
the revelation of all these things. All these things. Now, let me ask you something. Just bear with me for a few minutes.
How many of you here, you get feeling depressed and
down and things ain't going your way? It seems like you're trying
to do your best and it's just like swimming upstream. And you've
got this place in your house. We've got a room in where Kathy
keeps her computer. And she does the bulletins and
all those things for me. And I go in there and talk with
these different preachers across the country. And that room is
just filled with photographs. I've got my grandkids in there.
And I've got friends in there. And I've got brothers and sisters
in there. And I've got some family portraits
in there of my family and of hers. You go in that place, and
sometimes you just sit there and feel rejuvenated when you
look around. You see these people that you
love and people that mean something to you, and you go in there and
look at them, and even though life stinks, it just seems a
little better. It makes life a little bit more
worth living. You look around and see these
ones that you love. Let me tell you where God hangs
His pictures. In the heart. That's what Paul is talking about
here when he said, and we see Jesus. He's talking about the
Holy Spirit of God coming down and taking these things out of
the Old Testament, taking these pictures and types and this foundation
that He spent thousands of years to make for us. And He takes those beautiful
pictures and He hangs them in the heart. And John, that's where
you worship God. It's not out here. He said, Keep thy heart, for
out of it are the issues of life. Here's where the issues of life
is. Look over here in 1 Corinthians chapter 2 with me for just a
minute. Paul said he was determined not
to know anything else. He was determined. He said, I'm
not going to preach anything else. There's nothing else worth
preaching. Now, listen to this down here
in 1 Corinthians 2, verse 7. We speak the wisdom of God in
a mystery, even the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the
world under our glory, which none of the princes of this world
knew, for had they known it, they would not have crucified
the Lord of glory. But as it is written, I have
not seen nor ear heard," now listen, "...neither hath entered
into the heart of man." And that's where it has to go. The things that God has prepared
for them that love him, but God has revealed them unto us. This revelation of God is a revelation
in you. It's a revelation in the heart.
The heart is the seat of the emotions. It's the seat of authority. It's what makes the man the man. And this is where you go. Not
out here. God did not worship with men's
hands. He said, if I was hungry, I wouldn't
tell you. He said, the cattle on a thousand
hills belong to me. It's all mine. It came from me. I made it not only for me, but
I made it for my glory. If I was hungry, I wouldn't tell
you. You don't worship here. You don't stand up and wave your
hands and clap your hands and do all that worship. God worshiped
in here. And the only way that you can
know God, He said, He that worships Me must worship Me in spirit
and truth. The only way that you can worship
God is for that truth of God to be revealed in your heart.
That's worship. That's worship. And that's what
Paul's trying to direct them to here in this book of Hebrews.
He does it in every epistle he ever wrote. Peter, all of them,
they all do the same thing. They just, as soon as they greet
the people, straight to Calvary. Straight to the cross. Start
talking about Christ. Talking about Christ. Talking
about Christ. Listen to this, over in John
chapter 16, he says, When he, the Holy Spirit of God, is come,
he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak of himself,
but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak. And he will
show you things to come, great and blessed things, great and
precious promises, glorious revelations, unsolvable mysteries. He shall
glorify me. Do you see that? John chapter
16 verse 14, He'll glorify me, for he shall receive of mine
and show it to you. Now, where is he going to show
it? Listen to this, 2 Corinthians chapter 4, For God, who commanded the light,
verse 6, to shine out of darkness, has shined in our hearts. Do you see that? to give the
light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus
Christ. There is your portrait, John.
It hangs him on the wall. It hangs him on the wall. And I
go with doubted mind and sinful heart, and I go into that place
and I look up there, and there I see my Redeemer. There I see
the mediator of God. I see him who was elected. Chosen,
anointed, sanctified for one purpose, to redeem. Thou shalt
call His name Jesus, for He shall save His people from their sins. And I can get rejuvenated looking
at that picture, can't you? And you go through this book
of Hebrews, and you find these beautiful, beautiful pictures
of Christ. Here He is over here in chapter
1. I read it for you a few minutes ago. He said, I'm going to speak
to you. Speak comfortably to you. You
can read about it over there in Isaiah, I think it's 40 or
41. And He said, I'm going to speak to you. Who's He going
to speak to you in? Well, He said, His Son. But He
describes Him. Do you remember what I read to
you a few minutes ago? Listen to this. Verse 3, Who
being the brightness of His glory, and the express image of His
person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when
He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down on the majesty
of high." Here's that mediator. That's the first picture in God's
gallery right there. That mediator king into whose
hands He put all things. Providence, salvation, glory,
honor, redemption of God as He made unto us wisdom, righteousness,
sanctification and redemption. When was He made these things?
In eternity. He is the Lamb slain. You go
there in Revelation 5 and you can find that John just wept
and cried at that revelation. There was nobody to take the
book of God's eternal counsels and purpose from his hands, but
one prevailed. He was a lion and a lamb upholding
all things by the word of his power. That lion of the tribe
of Judah by himself purged our sin. The Lamb slain before the
foundation of the world. And that's what this book of
Hebrews is all about. That's what the Word of God is
all about. I'm telling you, this book will come alive if He ever
shows you this glory. Oh, you grab this book, I'll
tell you. I used to, I'd say I'd read this book in about five
minutes. I'd start nodding. Boy, I can get in there now for
hours. Hours. One beautiful picture after another.
One beautiful portrait. It's like going to an art gallery
and just, here's the priest, the high priest. Got that mitre
on his head. You know what that mitre said?
There was a big plate that went up on the mitre. It said, Holiness
unto the Lord. You go back in the Old Testament
and it said that he put that plate in Aaron's bonnet in that
mitre for this reason, for the iniquity of the holy thing. Because
Aaron was a man and he couldn't possibly, he just could not in
his person, manifest this holiness of God. So he put it in a plate
up here. It said, Holiness unto the Lord.
And these things were patterns. They were pictures. You can read
about that in the book of Hebrews. Figures for the time then present.
Patterns of things in heaven. Shadows of good things to come.
He just went on and on and on with it. But Christ, imagine that mitre
on His head, John. Not that old linen bonnet. I'm talking about the glory of
God, that crown that sat on His head in true holiness. This was
God come into the flesh. This is real holiness under the
Lord. This is real righteousness. This
is the real priest here. That old priest went in every
year, and the next year it came back around and reminded them,
that the sins were still there. That old blood didn't purge them
sins. It was just a picture. Just a picture. Just a picture.
But this priest entered in one time at the end of the world
with his own blood and by himself took away our sins. Purged that
conscience from dead works to serve the living God. He's our
priest. And he's the Son of God. I read
that to you. Under which of the angels said
he at any time, Thou art my son, this day hath I begotten him."
Now, think about this. He is the Son of God eternally,
but here he is talking about him being begotten of God, born
of God. He said to his angels, he called
them ministers of fire, but to the Son he said, Thou throne,
O God, is for ever and ever. Yet he was begotten of God. What
does that mean? Well, he was made a son to begot
sons. That's what he's talking about.
He was made a son to bring about an adoption. He was made a son
to declare the final end of redemption. He's that priest. He's that priest. And you go on over, and in the
book of Hebrews later on here in chapter 9, I believe it is, it talks about him all through
this chapter. It talks about that first priesthood
and that first tabernacle and those things that were accomplished
in it being figures. This man entering in one time,
accomplishing that salvation, accomplishing that redemption
came to accomplish. And it says down here in verse
15, for this cause, because this blood satisfied
God. Now, I'm going to tell you something.
I'm going to tell you why you're so down in the dumps, and why
you're running around feeling guilty, and why you're running
around doing all them things, because your conscience is not
purged. There's only one thing that compares
to guilty conscience, and that is the blood of Christ applied
by the Holy Spirit. He tells you something about
and convinces you something about the value of that blood. That
blood satisfied God. If He can convince you God's
satisfied, I guarantee you, you'll be satisfied. Now, I'm telling you the truth.
God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself. That's
the ministry. That's what I'm trying to tell
folks. This blood satisfied God because of whose blood it was.
And if God's satisfied, I can be satisfied. It purges the conscience. And because it can purge the
conscience, it can stir the heart to serve the true and living
God. Isn't that what he says up there in verse 14? Now, what's
this? For this cause. He is the mediator
of the New Testament, the new covenant. Now, that new covenant
is just new in its revelation. It was the old covenant. It was
the everlasting covenant. It's that covenant that David
talked about back in 1 Samuel 23. David come to die, a man
after God's own heart. And the very last words he spoke
was this, although it be not so with my house, Yet hath he
made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things and sure,
and this is all my salvation and all my desire, although he
make it not to grow." He didn't make it grow to Absalom. He didn't
make it grow to several of David's house. But he made it with him,
and it was sure. And he said, this is all my salvation
is back in that covenant. And he's not talking about a
piece of paper. He's talking about Christ. The surety of that
covenant. Read through the psalm and you
can see it. And then over in Hebrews chapter
13, he talks about that covenant again. He said, that great shepherd
of the sheep that God brought again from the dead through the
blood of the what? Everlasting covenant. That's
what will bring you peace. That's what will bring you peace.
That blood he shed is the only blood that was ever shed that
could satisfy God. When God hangs his picture in
your heart and you come to know whose blood this is and for whom
it was shed, I don't know for whom he shed his blood. I don't
know. Somebody told me one time, won't you just preach to the
elect because I don't know who they are. I guarantee I wouldn't
bother preaching to anybody if I knew who they were. I preach
to everybody. I'll tell you who will let you
know if you're one of God's elect. God. God. Because He'll come in and He'll
hang these portraits in your heart. And when He does, you'll
know you're His. You'll know you're His. Turn
with me to Ephesians, the first chapter. Ephesians chapter 1. Let me show you this over here
in the Scripture. He talks down here in verse 10.
Now, you can go through this first chapter. I dare to say
everybody in here is familiar with this first chapter of the
book of Ephesians. But you go down through here
and you can see back there in verse 4 that He chose us in Him
before the foundation of the world, predestinated us, verse
5, to the adoption of children, made us accepted in the Beloved.
We've got redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of
sins. He is bounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence, made
known unto us the mystery of his will. And one day in the
dispensation of the fulness of times, he is going to gather
together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven,
which are on earth, even in him, in whom we have obtained an inheritance,
being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh
all things after the counsel of his own will. that we should
be to the praise of his glory who first trusted in Christ.
Who first trusted in Christ? That's not talking about me.
He talks about me in the next verse, in whom he also trusted.
Who's he talking about back here in verse 12? He's talking about
God. He's talking about God. I'm going
to be to the praise of his glory who first, if God trusted in
him, Paul said, you can trust in Him. I trust in Him because
God trusted in Him. I trust in Him because God appointed
Him, anointed Him, set Him forth, and He accomplished everything
God gave Him to accomplish. God trusted Him, and then He
justified Him and raised Him from the dead and set Him at
His own right hand. And now He said, every knee is
going to bow and every tongue is going to confess that He is
Lord to the glory of God. That's who he's talking about.
He's talking about He trusted in him. In whom you also trusted
after that you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your
salvation, in whom also after that you believed, you were sealed
with that Holy Spirit of promise. That's when He comes in and hangs
up that portrait. Hangs it up in your heart. Tells
you you're His. You're His. And I tell you, you
know it too. You know it. I was in religion. I was in grace religion for years
and years and years, and preached and walked and talked and studied
and thought I knew something. And one day, by the providence
of God, all those things vanished away, and I threw my Bible down
and I just went all about my business for 18 or 20 years. Didn't do anything. Didn't say
anything. Didn't go anywhere. And when God got ready in His
time, and by His power, and by His gospel, He began to stir
my heart. Just stir my heart. I was out
there talking to a man, and I've long since given up on Arminian
religion. It's foolishness if you read
the Bible at all. If you care to sit down and just
read the Bible and listen to what they're saying, it's ridiculous.
You can't be. Now I knew that. And this man
was real religious. And I was working for him and
doing this and doing that. And there was another man out
there on the job who wasn't nothing but a drunk. And this guy was
trying to be religious around this drunk. And he kept poking
me and saying, ain't that right? Ain't that right? Ain't that
right? And after about two hours of that, I'd had all I could
stand. And I said, no, that ain't right. And I let him have it
with both barrels. I'd give him Calvinism right
down the line, nailed him to the barn door. He was just sitting
there with his mouth open. He didn't know what to say. And
I was angry. I was mad. And he waited a few
minutes and he came to me, got me over by myself, and he said,
Do you really believe these things that you said? And I tell you,
God, this might as well have took a butcher knife and stabbed
me in the heart. I realized that these beautiful
precious things of God that I knew I didn't believe. And I tell
you, I know where you have to go to hear it. How shall you
hear it without a preacher? I went back and dug my Bible
out of the dust and cleaned it off and got the best shirt I
could find and went down to the church. And I sat there and I
sat there and I sat there, and the only thing God had given
me Cursed is everyone who continues not in all things and the book
of the law to do them. Everything I heard was a curse.
It was a curse. It was a curse. No hope. No help.
And one day I went over to Todd's Road Grace Church over there
where Brother Todd Nibert is a pastor. And Brother Henry Mayhem
was down there filling in for him. This will show you something
about the providence of God. This man had cancer in his throat.
couldn't pastor this church, one of the biggest grace churches
in the country. Took him away, sent him up to Cleveland up there
and shut his mouth. Brought old Henry out of retirement.
He'd been retired for years. Brought him down there to fill
in this pulpit for time. Stabbed me in the heart over
here by his providence. Brought me over here to this
church to hear what he had to say. And Henry preached on the
prodigal son. And that prodigal son got up
out of the hog pens, squandered his inheritance, took all that
inheritance, took all those beautiful things of Christ, and he threw
them down in the mud and squandered them and wasted them and left
them alone. And he crawled up out of the
hog pen and he fain would have eaten the husk of the corn. And
he started to remember something about his father's house. God
began to stir in his heart something about his father's house, and
he said, even the servants in my father's house eat better
than this. I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to
go back and tell him. I've got this little speech prepared,
and I'm going to go back and tell him. I don't want you to
receive me again as a son. Just make me a servant. Just
fix me a little spot out there in the corn crib, and I'll be
okay. And the Father saw him from a great way off, and he
came with his arms out running. Can you picture God the Father
running to the Son? And he threw his arms around
him, John, and started to kiss him. And he said, Go get the
calf. I've had him penned up for just
this occasion. God told me I'll see this. But
that's what happens. I'm telling you what happens.
God comes in and He hangs this beautiful portrait up in your
heart and you just melt. You just melt. Oh, doctrine's
not the thing anymore. It's that glory. It's that glory. Folks come and want to argue,
I just tell them, be still a minute. Look. Just look. Just look. Just look. And I've been telling
folks ever since. Just look. Just look. Look and live. Isn't that what
he's talking about over in John? He said, just like that old serpent
was raised up back there. He said, Christ is going to be
raised up. And everybody that looks is going to live. Can you
look? Paul said, we see Jesus.
