Would you turn to John 10? While
you're turning there, I want to remind you that we will not
be having services this evening. We're going to have a new year
service beginning tomorrow evening at eight o'clock. And I'm going
to be preaching upon this subject, sanctification. What does the
Bible teach regarding sanctification? And the scripture is that passage
in Exodus chapter 22, where the Lord says, you shall be holy
men unto me. What does that mean? How is it
that a believer is holy? That's what we're going to consider.
I'm very excited about bringing that message. I feel like the
Lord helped me in the preparation of it, and we'll look forward
to that. But we'll just turn to John chapter 10. Now, we'll
be having the Lord's table tomorrow night also, and we'll have a
meal together afterwards. I'm looking forward to that.
John chapter 11, I'm sorry, John chapter 11. Now, a certain man was sick. Named Lazarus of Bethany. The
town of Mary and her sister, Martha. It was that Mary which
anointed the Lord with ointment. and wiped his feet with her hair,
whose brother Lazarus was sick. Therefore, his sisters sent unto
him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. When Jesus heard that, he said,
This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God. that
the Son of God might be glorified thereby. In June of 2005, as many of you
know, I found out that I had some problems with my esophagus.
The doctor said I had high-grade dysplasia. I still don't know
what that is, but that's the name he called it. And he said
there was one cell that looked suspicious. It looked like it
could be or would turn into esophageal cancer. And I had heard of esophageal
cancer, that it was very aggressive. And the possibility of death
was very real to me. I was thinking I might be dead
very soon. And I wanted some comfort at
that time. I wanted some comfort. And I wanted to read that verse
of scripture. In verse three of our text, I
remember I read it just to comfort me. Therefore said his sisters,
his sister sent unto him saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest
is sick. Now, when you're a believer.
That's comforting to you. He whom thou lovest. is sick. But I went on reading and I wasn't
expecting this in verse 4 when Jesus heard that. He said, this
sickness is not unto death but for the glory of God that the
Son of God might be glorified thereby. Now, when I read that,
I was given some assurance that I wasn't going to die. I just
knew I wasn't going to die as soon as I read that. I thought,
well, this sickness is not unto death. I wish I wasn't having
it. It's not I'm not saying that
I'm indifferent toward it, but I believe that I'm going to get
through this. The Lord gave me that assurance simply from reading
that passage of Scripture. Now, whether or not I should
have used that passage of Scripture to give me assurance, I'll let
you figure that out. You know, It can be dangerous to use the
Bible to find out direction on things. I read about one fellow,
he was looking for direction. He said, well, the first scripture
I read, I'm going to take that direction. So he opened it up
and it said, Judas went out and hanged himself. He said, oh,
I don't know about that one. So he went, the next scripture
he read, he opened it up and it said, go and do thou likewise. It can be dangerous to use the
scriptures in that sense, but what I want to talk about really
doesn't have anything to do with that. I want to try to speak
this morning on the subject, the glory of God. This scripture speaks of the
glory of God. This sickness is not unto death,
but to the glory of God, that the son of God might be glorified
thereby. That's a big subject, isn't it?
I covet your prayers. I feel totally unequal to the
task. And you know, we're totally unequal
to the task of hearing unless the Lord gives us the grace to
hear. Remember, it takes just as much grace to hear as it does
to preach. So we ask the Lord to help us
as we consider this glorious subject, the glory of God. The glory of God and Jesus Christ
being glorified are inseparably connected. He said, This sickness
is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of
God might be glorified thereby. You see, you can't have the glory
of God without the glory of Christ. They are inseparable. He said,
Father, the hours come. glorify thy son, that thy son
also may glorify thee. Now, what is the glory of God? Now, before we attempt to answer
that question from the scriptures, I want us to consider some scriptures
that let us know how important this subject is. What is the
glory of God? God's glory is so important to
him that he refuses to share it with another. He said in Isaiah
42, eight, I am the Lord. That is my name and my glory. I will not give to another. God's glory is his motive behind
all he does. Now God has a reason for what
he does and his motive for doing whatever he does. is His own
glory. Ephesians 1, 6 says that He saved
us to the praise of the glory of His grace. That's why. That's His motive behind everything
He does. Now, if God is pleased to reveal
Himself to you and I, if He makes Himself savingly known to our
hearts, We will be given a saving revelation of His glory. Listen to this scripture, 2 Corinthians
4, verse 6 says, But God, who commanded the light to shine
out of the darkness, hath shined in our hearts to give the light
of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. Now, if God ever saves me, I'm
going to have a revelation of His glory. You know, one of the
definitions of sin in the Bible is this. Now, there's several
definitions of sin. You know, sin is the transgression of the
law. Whatsoever is not of faith is sin. But I like this definition
of sin. In Romans chapter 3, verse 23, it says, For all have
sinned and come short of the glory of God. Sin. is coming short of the glory
of God. Our experience of grace is inseparably
connected with His glory. Let me show you that. You know,
when we confess our sin before Him, that has something to do
with His glory. When we truly confess our sin
before Him, listen to this scripture. Joshua said to Achan, after he
had hid the Babylonish garment and the wedge of gold, Joshua
said to Achan, give, I pray thee, glory to the Lord God of Israel
and make confession to Him. Do you know when you confess
your sin before God, you're giving Him glory? You're giving none
to yourself and you're giving Him all the glory. In repentance,
Listen to this scripture from Revelation chapter 16 verse 9.
And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name
of God, which hath power over these plagues. And they repented
not to give Him glory. You see where there's true repentance,
there's giving God all the glory. And when someone fails to do
that, they've never truly repented. You know, in this thing of being
thankful, in giving thanks, we give him glory. Just being, having
a thankful attitude. Turn with me for a moment to
Luke chapter 17. Back a few pages to Luke 17. You're familiar with
this. Verse 11 and it came to pass as he went
to Jerusalem that he passed through the midst of Galilee and as he
entered into a certain village there met him ten men that were
lepers Which stood afar off and they lifted up their voices and
said Jesus master have mercy on us And when he saw them he
said unto them go show yourselves unto the priest and it came to
pass that as they went they were cleansed and one of them when
he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified
God, and fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks. And he was a Samaritan. You see,
when you give thanks, you glorify God. Faith has something to do
with the glory of God. Look back in our text in John
chapter 11. I'm looking forward to getting to this. He says in
verse 40 of John chapter 11, Jesus said unto her, said I not
unto thee, that if thou wouldst believe, thou shouldst see the
glory of God. No, you won't see the glory of
God, then believe. If you believe though, you will
see the glory of God. This was said of Abraham. He
staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief, but
was strong in faith, giving glory to God. And being fully persuaded
that what God had promised, he was able also to perform. So
we see that in faith, there is an inseparable connection with
the glory of God. The glory of God is the touchstone
of sincerity. Our attitude about the glory
of God. Look back in John chapter 7. Verse 16, Jesus answered them and said,
My doctrine is not Mine, but His that sent Me. If any man
will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be
of God or whether I speak of Myself. He that speaketh of himself
seeketh his own glory, but he that seeketh his glory that sent
him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him." Now,
if a preacher comes seeking his own glory, he's a phony. Nothing
more. If a man, let's forget preachers
for a moment, anybody, if what they're doing is about seeking
their own glory, they're not even sincere. They're not even
real. They're not even true. You see,
a true person, A real person, by the grace of God, seeks the
glory of the Lord Jesus Christ. You see, God's glory, in reality,
is the only good motive. And I repeat, it is the only
good motive. Paul said in 1 Corinthians 10,
verse 31, whatsoever you do, do all to the glory of God. If that's not my motive, I've
got a self-serving, evil, sinister motive. The only good motive
is the glory of God. And you know, with a believer,
God's glory is more important to them than life itself. It really is. Now, the Lord knows
whether I'm telling the truth. I know that's the proper thing
to say. But I know this, if you could cut in, if I'm not deceived,
If I'm not deceived, if I haven't deceived myself, if you could
cut into my heart, you would see somebody who desires God's
glory above all things. If he's glorified, I'm satisfied. That's really all I care about. My satisfaction is found right
there. If Christ is honored, if Christ is glorified, I am
satisfied. You know, that's why there's
nothing mundane. in the believer's life. Whatsoever you do, I don't
care if you're washing dishes, I don't care if you're digging
ditches. If you're a believer, you can do what you do to the
glory of God, and that's why there's nothing mundane. You
know, people think, oh, my mundane life. If you're a believer, you
don't have a mundane life. What you're doing, you're doing
to the glory of God. I don't care what it is. That
makes everything special, doesn't it? It makes everything I do
meaningful, whatever it may be, if I do it to the glory of God.
I love this scripture in Psalm 28, 9. In His temple does everyone
speak of His glory. And in the church, everyone,
without any exceptions to this rule, everyone speaks of His
glory. This sickness is not unto death,
but unto the glory of God. that the Son of God might be
glorified thereby. Now God is glorified. You and
I both know that. He's glorified in creation. The
heavens declare the glory of God, and the earth showeth forth
His handiwork, or the firmament showeth forth His handiwork.
He's glorified in creation. He's glorified in providence.
I love what He said about this sickness. He said, This sickness,
this act of providence, is not unto death, but for the glory
of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby. And isn't
it comforting to you to know that everything that happens
You don't mean it that way. You'd mess it up every time.
I'd mess it up every time. But still we have this glorious
assurance. Everything He brings our way
in providence is for His glory and for our good. I'm so thankful. Now what is the glory of God? It's a good question, isn't it? What is the glory of God? We know it's more important than
anything else, don't we? We couldn't consider a subject of greater
importance than this. What is the glory of God? Would
you turn with me to Exodus chapter 33? Exodus chapter 33. And this is Moses prayed. And he says in the midst of this
prayer, or actually at the end of this prayer, in verse 18,
Exodus chapter 33, he says to God, I beseech Thee, show me
Thy glory. Now, Moses had seen some pretty
impressive things, hadn't he? Moses saw that bush that burned
and was not consumed. Moses saw the ten plagues and
the destruction of Egypt. Moses had seen the parting of
the Red Sea. Moses had seen manna come down
from heaven. Moses had seen the smiting of
that rock and water gushing out. Moses had seen the finger of
God write the law. And yet, in spite of all that
Moses had seen, he said, I haven't seen your glory. I beseech you. Show me your glory. Is that your prayer this morning?
Do you want to see the glory of God? I do. I beseech you,
Lord, show me your glory. Now look how our Lord answered
that request. Verse 19. And he said, I will make all my goodness pass
before thee, And I will proclaim the name of the Lord before thee,
and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will
show mercy on whom I will show mercy. Now there's God's glory. There it is. I wonder if anybody
thinks, well, I don't, that's good. I like that, but that's
the glory of God. That's how God defines his glory.
His goodness. I'll make all my goodness to
pass before the God's glory is his goodness. Now, remember the setting of
this prayer. Look back to Exodus chapter 32. And when the people saw that
Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, remember God was
giving him his holy law at that time. The people gathered themselves
together unto Aaron and said unto him, up, make us gods, which
shall go before us. For as for this Moses, the man
that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we want not what
has become of him, And Herod said unto them, Break off the
golden earrings which are in the ears of your wives, of your
sons, and your daughters, and bring them unto me. And you know
what took place. This is the making of that golden
calf." As soon as, just 40 days before, they'd heard from Moses. They'd seen the parting of the
Red Sea. They'd seen the destruction of Egypt by the ten plagues that
very day. They ate manna that came down from heaven. And they
drank water that came from that rock. And yet they said, We haven't
seen Moses. Make us gods. These be thy gods,
O Israel. Now you think of how quickly
they turned aside. Look down in verse six. And they
rose up early on the morrow and offered burnt offerings and brought
peace offerings. And the people sat down to eat and to drink,
and they rose up to play. And the Lord said unto Moses,
Go get thee down for thy people, which thou broughtest up out
of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves. They turned aside
quickly out of the way which I've commanded them. They've
made them a molten calf and have worshipped it and have sacrificed
thereunto and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought
thee up out of the land of Egypt. Is there a case of wickedness
any greater than this? You know there's not. What's
God's goodness? God's goodness is His capacity
to save a bunch like this anyway. That's the goodness of God. God
is good. He's good all the time. God's goodness is seen in His
capacity to save. God's goodness is seen in His
name. He said, I'll make all my goodness pass before you.
Now, this is what my glory is, that I can save a bunch like
this. And if He can save a bunch like that, He can save a bunch
like this right here. He can save folks in this room.
He can save folks like me. That's His goodness. That's His
glory. Let's go on reading in Exodus
33, verse 19. It came to pass, or verse 18, Verse 19, and he said, I'll make
all my goodness pass before thee, and I'll proclaim the name of
the Lord before thee. Now what's his name? His name
simply is the person behind the name. It's not just that he audibly
made known his name and said, Jehovah, Jehovah, Jehovah, Jehovah.
No, he makes the person behind the name known. That's his glory.
Who he is. Look in Acts chapter 34 verse
5. And the Lord descended in the cloud and stood with him
there and proclaimed the name of the Lord. Remember, he said,
I'll proclaim the name of the Lord. Well, here he is doing it. He's
proclaiming the name of the Lord. And the Lord passed by before
him and proclaimed, the Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious,
long-suffering and abundant in goodness and truth, keeping mercy
for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and
that will by no means Clear the guilty. Visiting the iniquity
of the fathers upon the children and upon the children's children
of the third and fourth generation. And Moses made haste and bowed
down toward the earth and he worshiped. Now, the only way
I can understand that is if I understand the gospel. He said, I'll by
no means clear the guilty. If Christ saves me, I'm not guilty.
I'm justified before God. My sin's put away. But his name
is his person. And look what he says next back
in our text in Exodus 33, 19. He says, I'll make all my goodness
pass before thee. I'll proclaim the name of the
Lord before thee, and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious.
And I will show mercy on whom I will show mercy. Now, I will
be gracious. That's His nature, to be gracious. But His grace
is sovereign grace. His mercy is sovereign mercy. He says, I'll be merciful to
whom I will. It's His sovereign prerogative to save whom He's
pleased to save and to pass by whom He's pleased to pass by.
And that is His glory. It amazes me the way some preachers
or people will talk about grace, sovereign grace, election, predestination,
Christ's effectual atonement for His people and so on. They
say, well, it's true, but that's a doctrine of secondary importance. Well, if the doctrine of the
glory of God is of secondary importance, That's a secondary
importance. But God identifies his glory
with this. I will be gracious to whom I
will be gracious. And I will show mercy on whom
I will show mercy. Now, would you turn with me to
Psalm 8411? Here's a precious promise. For the Lord God is a sun and
a shield. The Lord will give grace and
glory. No good thing will he withhold
from him that walketh uprightly. God will give grace and God will
give glory. Now here's two things that cannot
be separated. God's grace and God's glory. We're saved, according to the
scriptures, to the praise of the glory of His grace. God didn't
have to find a reason in me to save me. He didn't have to say,
well, I'm going to save Todd because he's sorry, because he's
repented, because he can end up being a preacher, because
of nothing like that. He saves for this one reason,
to the praise of the glory of His grace. And that gives you
a reason why He saved you. Would His grace be glorified
in saving you? Now, if you can say yes to that, that's because
He's had mercy on you. You know the only hope you have
is His grace and what glory there is in that. Turn to Psalm 21. Psalm 21, verse 5. is great in thy salvation. Whose glory? The glory of the
Lord Jesus Christ is great in thy salvation. Now here's a subject
that I can speak of with some measure of conviction. His glory, the glory of Jesus
Christ is great in God's salvation, in every aspect of God's salvation. Now, you consider God's salvation.
Remember when David said, restoring to me the joy of thy salvation? I want to know his salvation,
don't you? Thy salvation, his glory, the
glory of the Lord Jesus Christ is great in thy salvation. Now,
let's talk about God's salvation first. What do you got to talk
about first? We can talk about salvation. Well, the first thing
that comes to my mind is election. The fact that God chose who would
be saved before time began. Christ is glorified in that.
He's glorified as the one who does the choosing. He said, You
didn't choose me, but I chose you. And every believer knows
that so. I don't have to convince any
believer that you know the only reason you love Him is because
He first loved you. And you know it's because He
chose you. You don't give your free will the credit. I don't have
to argue with you about that. You know it so. And what glory
goes to the Lord Jesus Christ in election. Ephesians 1 verse
4 says, According as He hath chosen us, in him. It wasn't just an eeny, meeny,
miny, moe and I'm going to arbitrarily pick this one and leave that
one out. No, he chose us in him. We're accepted in the beloved
and his glory is great in God's election. Is it possible to have anything
before election? Well, God dwells outside of time,
and there's not a chronological sequence of events. God does
everything all at once. There's not past, present, and
future with Him. But logically, if there's something
that is before election, it would be this, union with Jesus Christ.
He didn't choose me and then give me to Christ. I've always
been viewed in the Beloved. United to Him. And His glory
is great in that. I'm loved for Christ's sake.
I'm viewed as the Lord Jesus Christ. And how that glorifies
Jesus Christ as the all-sufficient Savior. His glory is great in the Incarnation. When He became flesh. I love
that passage of Scripture in John 1.14 where it says, The
Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory,
the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace
and truth. His glory is great In our justification,
how I see the goodness of God that He would take somebody like
me, unjust, sinful. I know what Peter meant in Luke
chapter 5, when after he saw who the Lord was, he said, Lord,
depart from me. I'm a sinful man. You don't want
to have anything to do with me. I'm beyond help. I'm beyond hope. I understand
why I said that. What glory goes to Jesus Christ
that He takes somebody like me and makes me without fault before
God, justified by His righteousness. Their righteousness is of me,
saith the Lord. That gives great glory to Jesus
Christ. I mean, I'm justified by His
righteousness, not my own, but His. Oh, how great is His glory? How great is His goodness in
redemption? When He said it is finished, every sin that I ever would commit
was put away. His blood has such power that
it makes everybody He died for perfectly clean in the very sight
of God. So when God looks at me right
now, God's look at me right now, He sees me through and through
and He sees somebody who is holy, unblameable and unreprovable
in His sight. Now His glory is great in His
redeeming blood. I love that scripture, who shall
lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It's God that justified
them. Who is He that can condemn? It's Christ that died. Yea, rather
that there is an again who is even at the right hand of God
who also maketh intercession for us. His glory is great in
redemption. His glory is great in regeneration.
As the father raises the dead and quickens them, even so the
son quickens whom he will. I know who gets the glory in
my being born again. He does. I don't get any glory in this
thing. It's all of him. His glory is great in regeneration. His glory is great in our faith. Listen to this scripture. Hebrews
12, 2 says, looking into Jesus, the author and the finisher of
our faith. He's the author of my faith.
He gets all the glory of my faith. I can't give my free will the
credit. He's the author of my faith and He's the one who finishes
it. And listen to this, He is the sole object of my faith.
I look to Him only. Nowhere else. His glory is great
in my faith. His glory is great in my perseverance. I tell you what, the only reason
I haven't fallen away and wickedly departed and fallen into some
kind of whatever is because He's kept me. And His glory is great
in my perseverance. And I see such glory in Him. Turn to John 21. Verse 15, So when they died,
Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me
more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord,
thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.
He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest
thou me? Think of the Lord asking you
that question. If the Lord says, Do you love my person? He said, yea, Lord, you know
that I love thee. He saith unto him, feed my sheep.
He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou
me? Peter was grieved because he
said unto him the third time, lovest thou me? And he said unto
him, Lord, you know all things. Thou knowest that I love thee.
Jesus saith unto him, feed my sheep. Verily, verily, I say
unto you, when you were young, you girdest yourself and walkest
whither thou wouldest. You did whatever you wanted to,
but when you're old, Thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and
another shall gird thee, and carry thee, whether thou wouldest
not." And church tradition, for whatever that means, says that
he was crucified upside down. And he wouldn't be crucified
right side up because he felt like he didn't deserve to. That
was the way the Lord was crucified. And tradition says that he was
crucified upside down. But they did gird him and bring
him to a place where he would not. But look what John says
next in verse 19. This spake he signifying by what
death. He should glorify God. Peter saw such glory, such worth,
such excellency in the salvation of the Lord Jesus Christ that
he was willing to follow Him all the way to death and counted
it an honor that he wasn't worthy of. He said, don't crucify me
like the Lord was. Crucify me upside down. I love
that passage of scripture there in Acts chapter 5 where they
went praising God that they were allowed to suffer shame for His
name. Jesus Christ and His gospel is
such that His people would find they'd follow Him if it meant
following Him through hell. And their death would be a good
death in glorifying Him. That's how the Lord's people
feel. That's the excellency of Christ Jesus that His people
really feel that way about His glory. And surely His glory is
great in our glorification. One of these days, You're going
to see this sinner that's talking to you perfectly conformed to
the image of Jesus Christ. I'm going to be glorified. And
you know what you're going to say? His glory. You'll say this
about yourself too. His glory, the glory of the Lord
Jesus Christ is great in our salvation. The whole of His saving
work is glorifying His Father, and heaven itself will be beholding
His glory. He said in John 17, 24, Father,
I will that they whom You've given Me be with Me where I am,
that they may behold My glory. Would that be heaven to you?
To behold the glory of Jesus Christ. Now this particular sickness
that Lazarus was going through, that would end in death, is for
the glory of God. That's true and that's true of
everything else. Now what I'd like to do is close by reading
some scriptures that are spoken in the form of a doxology. First
turn to Romans 11. Romans 11. Verse Verse 34, For who hath known the mind of
the Lord? Or who hath been his counselor? Or who hath first
given to him, and shall be recompensed to him again? For of him, and
through him, and to him are all things, to whom be glory. Forever. Amen. Turn to Revelation 1. Verse 5. And from Jesus Christ, who is
the faithful witness and the first begotten of the dead, and
the princes of the kings of the earth, unto him that loved us,
and washed us from our sins in his own blood, and hath made
us kings and priests unto God and his Father, to him be glory
and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. 2 Peter chapter 3. Verse 18. But grow in grace and in the
knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, to Him be glory
both now and forever. Amen. Turn to Psalm 72. Verse 20 says of Psalm 72, the
prayers of David, the son of Jesse are ended. Now let's see
what he says in verse 17. His name shall endure forever. His name shall be continued as
long as the sun and men shall be blessed in him. All nations
shall call Him blessed. Blessed be the Lord God, the
God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things. And blessed
be His glorious name forever, and let the whole earth be filled
with His glory. Amen and amen. Now, did you notice
a common strain throughout these doxologies regarding the glory
of Jesus Christ? They end with the word, Amen. And that's not a meaningless
phrase. Amen means let it be so. Let the whole earth be filled
with your glory. Let it be so. Amen is the affirmation
of faith. The whole earth is filled with
His glory. This is what we believe. All
things glorify Him. This is the amen of our faith.
This is what we believe. Amen means the joy of the heart. we rejoice to give him all the
glory and we know he has it whether we give it to him or not don't
we it's not like we're adding anything to him but we rejoice
it's the joy of our heart to ascribe all glory to him not
unto us not unto us but into thy name give glory for thy mercy
and for thy truth's sake and amen means resolve god helping
me I will live for this and no other purpose, His glory. And every believer says amen
to His glory. That comes from the heart. Now
there's one scripture I want to close with. Turn to John chapter
12. Verse 39, verse 37. But though he had done so many
miracles before them, yet they believed not on him, that the
saying of Isaiah, the prophet might be fulfilled, which he
spake, Lord, who have believed our report and to whom is the
arm of the Lord revealed? Therefore, they could not believe.
Because that Isaiah said again, he had blinded their eyes and
hardened their hearts that they should not see with their eyes,
nor understand with their hearts and be converted. And I should
heal them. These things said Isaiah. When he saw his glory. And what's it say next? He spake of him. And you know what happens to
somebody when they see the glory of Christ? They speak of Him. Every other issue is a non-issue. They speak of Him. And if I have seen His glory,
here's the evidence. I will only speak of Him. And if I speak of anything else,
there's only one reason. I've not seen His glory. Let's pray together.
