You can turn with me to the Gospel
of Mark, chapter 11. Mark, chapter 11, you saw Brother
Tom and Brother Charles and I laughing about something earlier. We weren't
joking or kidding. We don't do that. No, I'm being serious. In and
around the worship service, we don't do that. This is too serious. We don't do that, do we, brother?
What we were laughing about is I had a message prepared for
this morning, and in the course of that message, I was going
to go over and deal pretty extensively with Hebrews 2, which talks about
the Lord delivering us from the fear of death. Well, last night
on the way home, Dad told me that he was going to preach this
morning from Hebrews 2 on the Lord delivering us from the fear
of death. So I had another message with
me, and that's what we were laughing about. I have another message,
and it's all the same message. It doesn't matter where you take
your text, does it? Spurgeon one time said that to
his preachers. He said, if you have trouble
knowing what to preach, get out of the pulpit. Don't get up there. You're not called to preach. We have one message. But he said,
if you have trouble knowing where to preach it from, where to go,
that's another story. I mean, we look for a text, don't
we, Brother Charles? But we've got one message. One
message. Christ. Now, this story is recorded
three times in Scripture. And if something is recorded
once, it's important. But three times, there must be
something more than meets the eye. Something more. And this is the story of our Lord
sending his disciples to fetch a coat for him to ride into Jerusalem,
recorded three times. Now, there's nothing written in God's
Word for mere information. Nothing. There's nothing written
for mere history. No insignificant details are
there. Everything has been divinely
recorded. And I marvel, and this is one
way I am certain this is God's Word. I marvel when I consider
how every word which the Lord Jesus Christ spoke, every step
he took, was predetermined before the world began and written in
a book. And he came here and fulfilled every jot and tittle
of that and more that were not written or the world could not
contain the book. And every type and symbol, as
you know, in the Old Testament, every picture proves who he was.
and tells the story of this so great salvation. That's what
this book is all about. And everything he did and said,
every miracle he performed and every gesture, every step, every
word, everything was to that end, to that purpose, to save
his people. And I want you to see with me, and I hope that
the Lord will help us, how that this passage, the Lord riding
into Jerusalem on this colt, is not only a fulfillment of
Scripture. Zechariah 9 says that the Christ
will come riding into Jerusalem, meek and lowly, riding on a colt,
the foal of an ass, having salvation. But I want you to see with me,
this is a story of salvation. Now look at verse 1. If Mark,
not Hebrews 2, Mark 11. And when they came nigh to Jerusalem
unto Bethphagia and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, the Lord
sendeth forth two of his disciples. He sent two men on a mission. Now the Lord, as you know, sent
his disciples out by twos to preach the gospel. And wherever
the Lord had an elect people, wherever he had a people, he
sent them to preach. And it's so today. Wherever God
has a people, he sends a preacher. That gives me great hope for
this place, doesn't it, you, Brother Tom? Great hope. He sends
a preacher. Scripture says that faith cometh
by hearing, and hearing by the word of God, or that is, the
preaching of the word, because God It pleased God by the foolishness
of preaching to save them that believe. That's the means which
God used. And he sends his preacher to
preach the Word, to preach the Gospel, Peter said. This is the
Word, which by the Gospel. And wherever the Lord has a people,
he sends his preacher. How shall they hear without a
preacher? And how shall they preach except
they be sent? So the Lord sent these two fellows
on a mission. He sent them to fetch something
for him. All right, look at verse 2. He
said unto them, Go your way into the village over against you
on the other side, and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye
shall find a colt tied. You go, you go, I'm sending you
on a mission, you go, and you shall find." Now, there's the common old argument
against God's sovereign grace. Why preach? If you believe that,
if I believe that, then why preach? Don't they say that? You've heard
people argue that. If you believe all the elect
are going to be saved, then why preach? You've heard that, haven't
They say, if I believed that, I wouldn't know. If you believed
that, you'd do what I'm doing. Right? We preach. Why? Why do we preach? Because the
Lord said to. Right? Go into all the world
and preach. Right? That's the command. Go
preach. And because the Lord said, you
shall find. My sheep hear my voice. Go, preach. I have a sheep out there. I'm
more encouraged to preach in knowing that the Lord's sheep
will hear His voice, not just thinking there's a chance that
somebody might accept Him or something. Aren't you, brother?
Would you fish in a pond where you knew there were fish? Well, the Lord says, Go, and
you shall find. You shall find. God's elect will
be found. because they will be where he
puts them. They are where he puts them.
God's people will be found where he puts them. I love where the
Scripture says a certain man or a certain woman, it says that
all through Scripture doesn't it, and a certain man which had
an infirmity or a certain woman which had an infirmity, a certain
man lying by a pool, a certain man, a certain woman was at a
well one day. And because that's where the
Lord brought her. He's going to meet her. That's
one of his elect. A certain fellow was up a tree one day, wasn't
it? The son of Abraham. Brother John, years ago, preached
on old Zacchaeus, and he entitled that message, Up a Tree on Purpose. I'll never forget that. He put,
how many sycamore trees were throughout the land that day,
at that time? Lots of them. But the Lord had
him up a certain tree that he was going to pass under. Because
this was one of his elect. One of his chosen. He had him
where he put him. Out in the desert in a chariot. There's nobody out there. Oh
yeah, there's one. Go and ye shall find. There's
no accidents with the sovereign Lord. You're not here by accident.
The lot is cast into the lap. You decided to come here. The
lot is cast into the lap. But let me tell you. The Lord
purposed it long ago. There are no accidents with the
law. The whole disposing thereof is
of the Lord. And he says, so he says, go and
you shall find. Now what an encouragement that
is to preach, isn't it? I started to quit putting these
messages on the sermon audio the other day. I put the last
one on, that number 50 or 51. That's not many, really, compared
to, but I put it on there and I thought, that's it, I'm not
doing it anymore. And I hadn't checked my mailbox yet. The child
went up to check the mailboxes from a listener and it was just
as best my heart rest. He said, I turned it on by the
Lord's Providence and I said, well, I think I'll keep doing
it. Yes, I'll keep doing it. Go and you shall find. Look at
that. Look what he found. Verse two.
Go and you shall find a colt tied. A colt. And over in Luke's Gospel
and Matthew, it calls this colt a foal of an ass. A colt, the
foal of an ass. Now, if there are any horse people
in here, a colt is an ungilded male animal, horse or, in this
case, it's a donkey. An ungilded donkey, a wild colt,
the foal of an ass or a donkey, ungilded. Now this quote here
is a good description of an unbroken sinner. Unbroken sinner. It says here
in verse 2, where on never man sat. He was unbroken. Nobody could
ride him. Nobody had ridden him. He hadn't
been ridden. He hadn't been broken. He's unbroken and he's wild. He's a foal of a wild donkey. Now, God's Word is so
plain in describing mankind by nature. God's Word is so clear. God's Word doesn't say anything
good about us by nature, does it? Nothing. It says things like this, from
the sole of our foot to the crown of our head, there's no sound
to send us. Scripture says all together.
You put them all together. Filthy is what the word says. Together, they're unprofitable.
Scripture says they're dead in trespasses and sin. Martyrs used
to say graveyard dead. That means stinking dead. That's
what they said about Lazarus, didn't they? Lord, he's dead.
How dead? By now, he's stinking dead. You
don't want to dig him up. Scripture doesn't say anything
good about us, does it? It's called a looking glass,
isn't it? James said, when you behold your face in a glass,
this book is like a mirror. Any of you ladies have those
magnifying mirrors? I bet every one of you has one,
don't you? Well, my wife had one, and I
was using it so much, she just bought me my own. I bet some of you men have one,
too. But anyway, I wish you'd never bought me that thing. Every
time I look in it, I look worse. I look older. I see more. What do you see when you look
real close in a mirror? What do you see? When you take
a real good look at yourself, what do you see? What does a
mirror show you? Beauty? Loveliness? Humbleness? No. Corruption. Ugliness. Every blemish. More
blemishes every day, don't you see? God's Word doesn't say anything
good about us, does it? Thank God it's a two-way mirror,
huh? We see another face, the glory of God, and another face,
altogether lovely face. He said, I want to look like
that. But anyway, God's Word. In Job 11, verse 12, it says
this very thing. It says, Man is born like a wild
ass's colt, unbroken. Man was made for God's glory.
Man was made for the glory of God. To live for His glory. To speak things for His glory.
To work for His glory. That's what man was made for.
The glory of God. He's come far short of that glory. In every respect, man has come
far short of that glory. As a matter of fact, he hasn't
glorified Him at all. In no way. He doesn't even think
about God. God's not in all of his thoughts.
Man, you know, man is, the least that man could do unto God is
to thank Him. That's the least man could do.
God feeds him, God clothes him, God waters him, God provides
for him, God does all these things, all his life for him. God said
in Isaiah 1, I've raised up a children and they've rebelled against
me. All they've ever done. Romans 1 says they did not like
to thank Him. God wasn't in their knowledge,
neither were they thankful. That's the least we can do unto
God for His glory. We don't do it. You try to bring
somebody. Why do we meet here? What's the
purpose for us meeting here? It's to worship God. That's it. We need no other reason. We don't
need any other reason to be here but to thank God for who He is
and what He's done for us. And you try to bring somebody,
just anybody, to come worship God, and you watch them start
bucking and kicking and fighting and biting. Isn't that right? Just come with me. We're just
going to sing God's praises, and we're going to look into
God's Word, hear what God has to say. I was that way, weren't
you? Bucking and kicking and fighting. You tell these And when you begin
to preach the truth to people, you tell these sweet religious
people what God's Word says about it, the truth of God's Word,
and watch them start raising their back up like a horse ready
to buck. A colt, a colt tie, a colt. We've got a man in here whose
brother Kelly Pendry is with us here. He's a member of our
church and he's a horse trainer. That's his business. That's what
he does for a living. And we talk about this all the time.
But folks think, and people bring their horses to him all the time
for him to break them. And everybody thinks their horse
is a good horse, you know. He's a good horse. Kelly tells
me this. She's a good mare. She really
is a good mare. And come to find out, all they've
ever done to that mare is pet her, feed her, water her. She's
never done anything. Just a big pet. Well, who wouldn't
be good, you know? But when he begins to start training
that When he asks that horse or gives that horse something
to do, that's why horses are created. Horses weren't created
for pets. They were created to be ridden,
to bear burdens, right? And he says the minute you begin
to just, you know, get that horse to do something, it starts bucking,
starts kicking, starts biting. It's real nature comes out. Well,
he's a good horse. No, he's not. There's no such
thing. And as I said, you tell the average person, you know,
people are sweet, religious, moral, you know, kind. You run into them, don't you? And you tell them what Scripture
really says about them. You tell them who God really
is and watch them start bucking. That's true. And man is not a
sweet, kind creature by nature. So this is a coat, and it says
he's tied. You see that? He's tied up. Somebody owns him and has him
captive. He's wild, but somebody owns
him, and he's tied up. You know, I have to laugh. If
it weren't so sad, it'd be funny. At young people today, and my
generation was virtually the same, But, you know, you see
young people today and older people all covered with, they've
mutilated their bodies and all of this that they do to themselves.
And you say, why are you doing that? Because I'm free. Because I'm my own man, you know.
Oh, yeah, right. You're doing what everybody else
is doing. If they tell you to drill a hole in your tongue,
you'll do it. Man, oh man, is man not ever captive to sin,
to Satan? This is what Scripture says.
They're held captive by him at his will. Isn't that what Scripture
says? But God might, peradventure, if he's merciful, if he's gracious,
turn one of these wild colts loose from being what they think
is free. Tied up. Look where he's tied. Well, look at verse 2. It says
he's cold-tied whereon never man sat. And the Lord said, you
loose him and bring him to me. There's only one hope for this
wild-ass's coat. You bring him to me. Loose him. You know, self-proclaimed preachers, Pharisees
that is, like to bind heavy burdens on on people, don't impose rules
and regulations and laws and so forth, which scriptures don't
teach. The Lord said that. They bind heavy burdens, which
the scriptures don't teach, and they won't with one finger loose
them, lift them. Oh, the Lord tells His disciples,
as you go, you will find that you loose Him and you bring Him
to me. You bring Him to me. What we do is we preach Christ.
That's all we do. We don't make stipulations or
mind burdens on people. Well, if you do this, you've
got to do that. No, sir. We point them to Christ, don't
we? Point them to Christ. Behold the Lamb. Well, here's
his instruction, verse 3. Now, if any man say unto you,
why do ye this? If anybody questions you, why
are you doing this? You say, the Lord hath need of
him. And straightway he will send
him to me. He will. You go. If anybody say,
what are you doing? Why are you doing it? What's
this all about? Why preach? What's the meaning of this? Because
the Lord said do this and the Lord hath need of him. Now listen
carefully. The Lord doesn't need anyone.
You know that, don't you? The Lord doesn't need us. The
Lord doesn't need wild, unbroken colts, does He? However, to fulfill
His Word, which says, Behold, thy King cometh on this ass,
this colt, the foal of the ass, to fulfill God's Word, He must
bring Him. He must. He needs Him to fulfill
His Word, doesn't He? And because this is a faithful
saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the
world to save sinners, He must bring them. His sheep must come,
mustn't they? Our Lord said, Other sheep I
have which are not of this foe, them I must bring. His glory
is at stake, His words at stake, His power is at stake, His wisdom
at stake. We talk about God's love. Whoever
he loves, he's going to save. The glory of his love is at stake. Whoever he calls, they will come.
The glory of his power to bring them is at stake, isn't it? They
will come. They will come. Aren't you glad? Aren't you glad the Lord gave
commandment to save you? That's what the psalmist says. The Lord gave commandment to
save you. Aren't you glad? I have a dog
at home, Abner. Oh, I love that dog. And I taught
him well. And, buddy, he comes when I call
him. He comes. When I say come, he comes. Now, that's a tribute to my ability
as a master of dogs. Now, on the other hand, we have
another little dog. Well, you've probably seen already.
It's Mindy's dog, really. And I can say, come. I can say,
won't you please come. Pretty please come. That's her dog. But my dog, come
when I call him. And God's people come when I
call them. He gives commandment. It's a
tribute to his power and his ability as a master. They will
come. He said, they will come. They
must. Them I must bring. So he needs them in that sin.
And the Lord is going to get great glory in riding this unridden,
unbroken colt. Stay with me now. Are you with
me? It's going to be a blessing. Verse 4, So they went their way,
and they found the colt tied by the door, just like the Lord
said. Now look at this, every word
is significant. They found him tied by the door in a place where
two ways met. Now this unbroken wild colt is
tied up by the door. He's not in the door, he's outside
the door. And he's tied up in a place where
two ways meet. One way is going to go away from
Christ. And the other way is going to
come to Christ. Which way is that colt going to go? Scripture says there is a way
that seems right unto man. This is what I think is wrong
every time. Every time. It leads to destruction.
It leads away from Christ every time. No matter what that way
is. Religion. A new way. We've got
a new way. There's one way. And there's one path. There's
old paths into brother Charles. One way. It's always been one
way. Christ is that way. And there's one way that he brings
us. He gives the command. by the
gospel, preaching the gospel to bring in the man. So this
coat is tied up. By the way, we're two ways meeting,
two ways. Well, they went and they loosed
him. And certain of them, whoever it was that owned this coat,
verse 5, said unto them, what are you doing? You can't do that.
Why do you loosen the coat? And this is all they said unto
him. They did as Jesus had commanded them. In other words, they said,
they just repeated. They just repeated what he said.
If they say, what are you doing? You say, the Lord said, let him
go. So they did. The Lord told them
to say that. Don't do anything else. Don't
bribe them. Don't plead with them. Don't
beg them. Don't say, well, if you'll do this, we'll give you
this. Don't do that. Just tell them, thus saith the
Lord. And stand back, and you watch
them. Watch them come. Moses stood before Pharaoh. Now, Pharaoh's the most powerful
man on the earth. King of the world, as it were.
Right? He has God's people under his
control, doesn't he? Or does he? Huh? No, the king's heart is in the
hands of the Lord. And Moses, God's messenger, went
to the face of Pharaoh and stood in front of him and said, Thus
saith the Lord, let my people go. Not some mealy-mouthed effeminate
fellow, you know, won't you please, won't you please, etc. No, sir. Let my people go. Thus saith
the Lord, let them go. Did he? He sure did. Where the word of the King is,
there's power. Just tell preachers, what are
we to do? What are we to do? Beg and plead with people? No,
sir. Our God's not a beggar in either our way. Huh? What are
we to do? How are they going to come? Preach
the word. Preach the word. Ezekiel, can
these bones live? The Lord thou knowest. I can't
do it. Then do this. Prophesy. Preach. And watch them
stand back, stand still, somebody said, and see the salvation of
the Lord. And they did. Let them go. Let
them go. You know, Satan and devils are
subject to his will. Scripture says, I quoted it to
you partly, that the people are held captive by him at his will,
but Satan is subject to God's will. He's God's devil. Uh-huh. Read the book of Job. Verse 2 chapter. And he must
loose them. And they did. They loosed them.
Look at verse 6. They loosed them. And verse,
as the Lord commanded, they let them go. And look at verse 7. And the Scripture says, Thy people
shall be willing. Verse 7, they brought the colt
to Christ. They brought that colt to Christ.
Now, I'm just confident they didn't have to drag it. They
didn't have to coerce it. They didn't have to promise it
grain. Kelly, people do that all the
time, don't you? Give it a treat, you know. If
you're a good master, you don't have to do all that. I'm just certain they didn't
have to pull it, bribe it, beg it, plead with it, and neither
do you have to do that with God's people. Thy people shall be willing
when? and the day of thy power. Watch
them come. You preach and you watch them
come. Stand back and watch the Lord bring them. Don't have to
brag. And if the Spirit of God, if
the Holy Spirit of God is working, you don't have to strike while
the iron's hot. You know what I'm talking about.
You've heard that before, haven't you? however, it is bad, don't
disturb the spirit. How weak is the spirit anyway? There's a young lady, a mother
brought her 13-year-old daughter in to see me a couple of days
ago. And evidently the Lord's dealing
with her. And this has been happening for
a couple of weeks. And I could have gotten that girl
to make a decision easy. I believe I could get every one
of our young people to make one. I'm just quite certain I could
talk them into it. But I don't want to do that.
I want to know this is of the law. And the little girl wanted, she
told me, she said, I just want to be sure. Oh, I wish you could have heard.
She said, I just want to be sure that this is, the Lord's doing
it. I want to make a false profession. I said, well, I told her what the Lord said,
you know. He that believeth and is baptized, believe on the Lord
Jesus Christ. Didn't give her anything to do.
Believe. And I just told her, go home,
you keep calling on the Lord and ask him to say unto your
soul, I am thy salvation. I know that if the Holy Spirit's
working on her, if the Holy Spirit's moving on her today, he'll be
doing it tomorrow. He'll be doing it next week.
If it's of the Lord, she's going to come. She's going to confess
Christ. The Spirit is sovereign. In the
day of His power, they come. Verse 7, they brought the coat
to Christ, and it says they cast their garments on Him. They cast
their garments on Him. Not only will all who come to
Christ be clothed by Christ Himself in His righteousness, but God's
people, as Christ is, so are they. God's people will shower
them with love and affection and literally give them the shirt
off their backs, won't they, Brother Kim? They did it to me
when this prodigal came home. The people treated me Chris,
they treated me, when this prodigal came back by God's grace, by
the command of the Father, the people there, they treated me
like I wasn't any worse than they were. That's what God's people do.
Because that's how they got there. That's how they were. Sinners,
saved by His grace. And when the prodigal comes home,
he's given the best robe. And then the Lord laid hold of
that animal. They brought that colt. Are you
with me? A few more minutes. The Lord laid hold of that animal.
They brought him to cry. And the Lord laid hold of that
unbroken, wild-ass's colt. years ago, we bought my daughter
a horse, about 12, 13 years ago. Well, my father. Her grandfather. Grandfathers do these things.
Helped her buy a horse. And anyway, we bought this horse,
one farm later. Now, we bought this horse for
my daughter, and it was a young colt. eight weeks old, unbroken. Kelly, just not, people, let
me tell you from experience. If you're going to buy your daughter
or granddaughter a whore, don't buy a young, unbroken animal. Don't do it. Right, Kelly? Buy
an old, 14-year-old gelding, broken, dead broke. Dead broke. That way when its father gets
on its back to break it, This is what happened, Sam. I
had that coat when he got up to age, about two years old,
and I was working with it. It's a good horse. It's a good horse. Well, he's
a kind horse, a sweet horse. No problem here. Chris, okay. One day, I was by myself, and
I put a saddle on it. I've been putting a saddle on
it. I've got that far. I've been putting a saddle on
it. Okay. Well, I put that saddle
on it one day, and nobody's around. And I put, I got a bucket and
stood on, I'm not tall, I've come short, I've always been
short. Got on that bucket and I got on that horse. And you
know what happened? I really don't hardly remember
the rest. I do remember waking up on the
ground on the flat of my back. He kicked me off, bucked me off.
Well, the Lord laid hold of this coat. Nobody's ever ridden this
thing. And maybe somebody said, You can't ride that horse. Nobody's ever ridden that horse.
You can't do it. And the Lord sat on it. And what
did that coat do? Nothing. It bowed its head. Kelly will
tell you, this is what you look for in a broken animal. Start
bowing its head in humility. Bowed its head, submitted to
the bit and the bridle, submitted to being ridden by the Master,
willingly. Oh my. Thy people shall be well. There are people that, and you
preachers know this, there are people you run into that come
hear the gospel and you think, He'll take a miracle to save
him. He'll take a miracle to save anybody. The greatest miracle,
he dealt with me. A 19-year-old boy recently, he'd
been coming with one of our young ladies. And now you're going
to know who this is, Nancy. A 19-year-old boy who was coming
with one of our young ladies because he was, you know, after
this girl. That's why he came. He's coming
with her and he was born, he was raised in free will religion,
Southern Baptist. And he heard this message and
he hated it. He hated it. And he told her he hated it.
And she didn't. She confessed Christ. She loved
the gospel. So they were butting heads all
the time. Finally she said, we can't walk
together. And he didn't come back. And
she finally went off to college. Well, lo and behold, one day
he came in on his own. And he sat back row. Didn't say
anything after the message left. Came back the next Sunday. And
the next. And the next. And then he had to go off to
college, to school. I got a letter from him the other day. He said, I don't know why I had
to write you, but I just had to. He said, I'm such an unworthy
sinner and I don't deserve this God's mercy, but I believe the
Lord's dealt with me. He said, you know, and he kept
saying things like that. He said, you know, nobody around
me believes like I do now. You can't ride that horse. Yes,
you are. That's just the ones he rides.
That's the ones he saves. That proves who he is. The Lord sat on him. Now, the
Lord didn't, and he rode him into town. This was no long,
arduous journey. Oh, no. Christ said, My burden
is light. My yoke is easy. My burden is
light. The Lord didn't lay a heavy burden on that young colt. And young people, the scripture
says it's good to bear the yoke in your youth. It's not Sam and
Evan and others. I was telling you about when,
you know, my parents, I thought it was torture for them to bring
me. You know, this is exactly what I love to do now. This is
what I want to do. It really is. But his yoke is easy, his burden,
and the way of the transgressor is hard. Scripture says that.
The way of keeping up with the Joneses is what's hard. The Lord's yoke is easy, his
burden is light, isn't it? Isn't it? It's pleasurable. The best way. And all this horse
was called to do, you know all he was called to do? You know
why the Lord got him and broke him. You know what he was doing,
John? Now, from here on, all he was called on to do was to
lift up the Lord Jesus Christ. That's it. Well, and he rode him into town. Now, why did he choose a wild-ass
coat? Look at this, and I close. Verse
9, they went before the Lord, and they followed, went into
town. Verse 8, spread their garments in the way, cut down branches,
went into town. And they followed, and the people
cried out, saying, Hosanna! Blessed is he that cometh in
the name of the Lord! Blessed be the kingdom of our
father David that cometh in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in
the high! Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! Here comes the
Lord! Blessed be the name of the Lord! All glory to the Lord
in the high!" That's what they were saying when he rode into
town on his goat. Blessed be the name of the Lord!
All glory be unto the Lord! To the Lord! To the Lord! Why
didn't the Lord ride a big noble steed into town? Why didn't the Lord choose a
big white stallion to ride into town? Why didn't He? Because there wasn't one person
anywhere saying, would you look at that donkey? Nobody paid one bit of attention
to that donkey. What an animal. Would you see?
Look at what he... No, sir. No flesh is going to
glory in His presence. We're not going to say, Would
you look, there's Abraham. Look, Moses, Elijah. That's what
they saw, didn't they, on that mount. That's all they saw. Moses,
Elijah. Our Lord said, No, this is My Son. And in glory. Brother John and I were talking
about being short. And we said, in that day, we're all going
to be the same height. Equal. Full head of hair, huh,
John? All going to be equal, but there's one that's going
to stand head and shoulders above us for all to see. Right? All glory to the one who rides
wild asses cold. Okay. May the Lord bless His
Word.
