In Isaiah chapter 45, you'll
find our text this morning. I want to read this entire chapter
to you. Isaiah chapter 45. Let's begin in verse 1. Isaiah
chapter 45 and begin in verse 1. Thus saith the Lord to his
anointed to Cyrus. Cyrus, this man, would be king
and yet he hadn't even been born yet. whose right hand I have
holden to subdue nations before him, and I will loose the loins
of kings to open before him the two leaf gates, and the gates
shall not be shut. I will go before thee and make
the crooked places straight, and will break in pieces the
gates of brass, and cut in asunder the bars of iron. I will give
thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places,
that thou mayest know that I, the Lord which call thee by thy
name, am the God of Israel. For Jacob my servant's sake,
and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name.
I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me. I am
the Lord, and there is none else. There is no God beside me. I
girded thee, though thou hast not known me. that they may know
from the rising of the sun and from the west that there is none
beside me. I am the Lord and there is none
else. I form light and create darkness. I make peace and create
calamities, evil. I the Lord do all of these things.
Drop down ye heavens from above and let the skies pour down righteousness. Let the earth open and let them
bring forth salvation and let righteousness spring up together.
I, the Lord, have created it. Woe unto him that striveth with
his Maker! Let the apostles strive with
the apostles of the earth! Shall the clay say to him that
fashioned it, What makest thou? or thy work he hath no hands? Woe unto him that saith unto
his Father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, what hast thou
brought forth? Thus saith the Lord, the Holy
One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning
my sons, and concerning the work of my hands, command ye me. I
have made the earth, and created man upon it. I, even my hands,
have stretched out the heavens, and all their hosts have I commanded. I have raised him up in righteousness,
and will direct all his ways. He shall build my city, he shall
let go my captives, not for price or reward, saith the Lord of
hosts, Thus saith the Lord, the labor of Egypt, and merchandise
of Ethiopia, and of the Sabaeans, men of stature, shall come over
unto thee, and they shall be thine. They shall come after
thee in chains. They shall come over, and they
shall fall down unto thee. They shall make supplications
unto thee, saying, Surely God is in thee, and there is none
else. There is no God. Verily, they
are to God that hideth thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour. They shall be ashamed and also
confounded, all of them. They shall go to confusion together
that are makers of idols. But Israel shall be saved in
the Lord with an everlasting salvation. Ye shall not be ashamed
or confounded, world without end. For thus saith the Lord
that created the heavens, God Himself that formed the earth
and made it. He hath established it, He created
it not in vain. He formed it to be inhabited.
I am the Lord and there is none else. I have not spoken in secret
or in a dark place of the earth. I said not to the seed of Jacob,
seek ye me in vain. I, the Lord, speak righteousness.
I declare things that are right. Assemble yourselves and come. Draw near together ye that are
escaped of the nations. They have no knowledge that set
up the wood of the graven image, and pray unto a God that cannot
save. Tell ye and bring them near.
Yea, let them take counsel together, who hath declared this from ancient
time, who hath told it from that time. Have not I the Lord? And
there is no God else beside me, a just God and a Savior? There
is none beside me. Look unto me, and be ye saved,
all the ends of the earth. For I am God, and there is none
else. I have sworn by myself the word
is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return. That unto
me every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall swear. Surely
shall one say in the Lord, have I righteousness and strength.
Even to him shall men come, and all that are incensed against
him shall be ashamed. In the Lord shall all the seed
of Israel be justified, and shall glory." A just God and a Savior. One of the grossest sins, and
the Lord is always confronting the children of Israel with it,
almost as if they were a nation. was the worship of images, false
gods making images and falling down and serving them and praying
to them and calling upon them. He warned them about this in
his commandments from Mount Sinai when he spoke to them there upon
the mountain that quaked and the fire fell from heaven. He
said, Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven images. of things that are in heaven
or things that are in earth or things that are in the water
under the earth, that you should serve these things, serve these
images. For he said, I, the Lord thy
God, am a jealous God. I'm a jealous God. I visit the
iniquity of the fathers upon the third and fourth generation
of them that hate me. One of the saddest stories, I
think, in all the Word of God, especially in the Old Testament,
is King Solomon. He was the wisest man of his
generation, and yet when he was old, he married all of these
wives, 700 wives. You men, you think you've got
trouble? You think you've got trouble with one? Bless your
heart, how would you like to have 700? And when he was an
old man, his wives led his heart away. And he built his wives'
houses for their gods. And they worshipped their images.
And the Bible says his heart was not right with the Lord. It wasn't perfect with the Lord,
as was David his father. And our text says here in verse
20, They have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven
images and pray unto a God that cannot save. They have no knowledge. I think
of all sins that a man could commit, and I think probably
worshiping graven images are one of the dumbest sins anybody
ever committed. To chisel out an image in stone? To take a piece of wood and saw
on it and carve on it until you've made a little god out of it?
To farm a mold and pour metal in it and make an image and name
it and fall down before it and pray to it and trust in it? I think it's one of the dumbest
things anybody could ever do. Why do people do that? They have
no knowledge. They have no knowledge. That's
what our text says. It's a lack of knowledge. Look
here in chapter 44. All through these chapters, the
Lord is confronting the children of Israel with these dumb idols. They were people that were prone
to leave the true worship of God and worship these silly images. And here in chapter 44, the context
is that a man planted a cedar tree or he planted a cypress
tree. And when it grew up, he cut it
down. And he burned part of it in the
fire to stay warm by. And then he took part of it and
he used it to cook his meals with. And then the remainder
of it, he made an idol and fell down before it. And the Lord
said, don't you think that's dumb? Don't you think that's
rather ridiculous? And look here how He says it
in verse 15. Then shall it be for a man to
burn. For he shall take thereof and
warm himself. Yea, he kindleth it and baketh
bread. Yea, he maketh a god and worshipeth
it. He maketh it an graven image,
and falleth down thereto. He burns part thereof in the
fire. With part thereof he eateth flesh,
he roasteth rose, and is satisfied with his hunger. Yea, he warmeth
himself, and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire. And
with the remainder thereof he makes a god, even his graven
image, and falleth down unto it, and worships it, and prays
unto it and says, Deliver me! Deliver me! Thou art my God. That's sort of ridiculous, isn't
it? Look at verse 18. They have not known nor understood,
for He hath shut their eyes that they cannot see, and their hearts
that they cannot understand, and none considereth in his heart. Neither is there knowledge nor
understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire,
I have baked bread upon the coals thereof, I have roasted flesh
and eaten, and shall I make the residue thereof, that abomination? Shall I fall down to the stalk
of a tree? He feedeth on ashes. A deceived
heart has turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, or
say, Is there not a lie? in my right hand." Why would
a fellow do that? It's dumb, isn't it? It's dumb. There were some fellows, we don't
know who they were exactly, probably the Gentile nations in Romans
chapter 1, and they made themselves images of the invisible, eternal
God. They made images of men They
made images of beasts and images of creeping things. And they
said, this is God. This is images of God. And you
know what they said about themselves? Man, we're so smart. We're wise. And you know what God said about
them? You're fools. You've become fools. You have
no knowledge. that make your graven images. I did a little bit of research
this week on these images, gods that people have made since we've
been keeping record of them. I found 8,747 images that people
recognized as gods and most of them they named Can you imagine
that? I got on the Buddha website and
was looking at some of their gods, their Buddha images. And
if you're interested, they're on sale right now, 70% off. They don't have very much respect
left for their deities, 70% off. You can get them made out of
everything. wood, plastic, metals. You can get sleeping Buddhas. You can get dancing Buddhas. You can get laughing Buddhas.
You can get forgiving Buddhas. You can get peaceful Buddhas. You can get Buddhas for every
country almost in the world. Whatever image you want, you
can order it. And what are they good for? Nothing. Nothing. A waste of money. A waste of labor. A waste of
time. Look what he says in chapter
44. Look in verse 10. Look what he says. Here's what
God says about it. Look in verse 10, chapter 44.
Who hath formed a God? Now isn't that dumb? Who made
a God? Who created a God? How do you
create a God? Who would want a God you could
create? Who hath formed a God or molten
a graven image that is profitable, look at this, for nothing? Nothing. What are they worth? Nothing. They start at $37.95. They're worth nothing. Nothing. How did Paul say it? He said, you were carried away
unto these dumb idols. Why does he call them dumb idols?
Well, if you've got eyes and you can't see, and you've got
a nose and you can't smell, You've got a mouth and you can't speak.
You've got ears and you can't hear. You've got a head with
no brain. You've got a body with no spirit.
You've got arms that you can't embrace. You've got hands that
can't stretch out. You've got feet you can't walk
with. I'd call that dumb. Wouldn't you? What else would
you call them? Dumb. Makers of idols. And why do they do it? Well,
our text tells us. They have no knowledge. They
have no knowledge that set up their graven image and pray unto
a God that cannot save. The Lord does three things in
these chapters concerning these idols and concerning those that
make these idols. First of all, He just flat out
denies that there's any other God but Him. You may have noticed
that as I read this, several times in chapter 45, he made
statements like this, I am the Lord and there is none else.
There is no God besides me. There is none beside me. I am
God and there is none else. Five or six times in this chapter,
he used almost the same phrases to tell of his uniqueness, his
oneness. There is no God but One. He said, I know everything and
I don't know any. There is no other God but Me.
They're dumb idols. They're not gods. I want you
to look over here. Hold our text and look over in
1 Corinthians, over in the New Testament. See how our Apostle
deals with this. In 1 Corinthians chapter 8, they
were having trouble with these dumb idols. the early church, a lot of idolatry
going on, image worship. And look how the Apostle Paul
says this in chapter 8 of 1 Corinthians. And look what he says in verse
4. As concerning therefore the eating
of those things that are offered in sacrifices unto idols, we
know that an idol is nothing in this world. And that there
is none other God but One. He must have picked up on our
text, didn't he? There's no other God but One. For though there
be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, as there
be gods many and lords many, little gods, little idols, but
to us, to us who believe, To us who believe God's Word and
have been taught of God, look at this, there is but one God. He's the Father of whom are all
things, and we in Him, and one Lord Jesus Christ by whom are
all things, and we by Him. There's just one God, brothers
and sisters. One God. He's eternal. He's holy. He's a pure spirit
in whom is no darkness. He's manifested in three sacred
persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Bible
teaches us that. The Holy Spirit has borne witness
to that in our conscience. We see it in creation. The providence
of God all around us teaches us that there is one God. There
is somebody outside this universe, somebody above this universe
that is controlling everything that goes on within this universe. And who is it? It's this God
who says, I am God. And besides me, there is none
else. There is no God. but Him. He says, I flatly deny Him one
of them. There is no God but Me. I am
the Lord, and besides Me there is no God. That's the first thing He does.
The second thing in these chapters that He does concerning these
idols and their makers, He challenges the children of Israel to compare
Him to their idols. Compare me to your idols." Listen,
God is not afraid to put Hisself out there. He's not afraid. He says, if
you can find another God that's better than me, then pray to
Him and believe in Him and worship Him and trust Him and give yourself
up to Him. But He says this, I don't know
where you're going to find Him. I don't know where you're going
to find it. Now, you and I are afraid to
put ourselves out like that, aren't we? I've never told my
wife, if you can find a better husband, go get him. She may
go get him. But God is not afraid, is He? Because He knows. There's
no other God besides Him. So He said, you go ahead and
search. And when you find Him, if He's better than I am, then
you worship Him. You commit yourself to Him. You
call upon Him and pray to Him. But look what he says back in
chapter 40. Go all the way back in chapter
40, the book of Isaiah, and look
at this. Let me just read some here to you. See if you can find
anybody that can compare to the everlasting God. Look what he
says. Look in verse, all the way back
in verse 12. Here's what he says about Him.
See if any idols or any gods are like this God. Who hath measured
all the waters in the holla of His hand? That's an obvious question. Nobody. Nobody. Who has measured
out the heavens with a span? Who's comprehended the dust of
the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scale, and the
hills in a balance? Nobody but Him. Who hath directed
the Spirit of the Lord, or, being his counselor, hath taught him?
Nobody. Nobody's taught him anything.
With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught
him in the paths of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and
showed to him the way of understanding? Nobody. Behold, the nations are
as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of
the balance. Behold, he taketh up the aisles,
as a very little thing. He must be immense to look upon
the nations and say, You're nothing. You're nothing. And Lebanon is
not sufficient to burn for a sacrifice. The beasts of the field are not
sufficient for a burnt offering. All nations before Him are as
nothing, and they are counted to Him less than nothing and
vanity. Therefore, to whom then will
you liken God? Or what likeness will you compare
to Him? The workman maileth a graven
image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth
silver chains. He that is so poor that he hath
No oblation chooses a tree that will not rot. He seeketh unto
him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image that shall not
be moved. Are you going to compare that
to the God we just read about? Have you not known? Have you
not heard? Have you not been told from the
beginning? Have you not understood from
the foundation of the world, it is He that setteth upon the
circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers? That stretcheth out the heavens
as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in? That
brings the princes to nothing? He makes the judges of the earth
as nothing, empty, vanity? Yea, they shall not be planted,
yea, they shall not be sown, yea, their stalks shall not take
root in the earth, and he shall also blow upon them, and they
shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble. To whom then will you liken me,
or shall I be equal, saith the Holy One? Lift up your eyes on
high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out
their hosts by number, He calleth them all by name, by the greatness
of his might, for that he is strong, and not one felleth."
To whom will you liken God? He has no equals. There's nobody
like Him. He has eyes. And He sees. To this man will I look. even
to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembles at my word."
He has eyes. He sees his people. He has a
mouth and he speaks by his mouth. He says here in one of the texts
that I just read to you, in chapter 45, I have sworn by myself The
Word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness. He is a speaking
God, isn't He? The words that I speak unto you,
they are spirit and they are life. And listen to this. He
said, Everything that I have spoken, not one word will return
unto me void. It is going to accomplish that
wherein I send it. When He speaks, He speaks effectually. He speaks on purpose. And there
is power when He speaks. He's not like these dumb idols
that has a mouth and cannot speak. He has hands and He uses His
hands. In verse 45, chapter 45 in verse
12, I have made the earth, look at that in verse 12, I've created
man upon it. I, even my hands, have stretched
up the heavens and all their hosts have I commanded. My hand is powerful. It stretched
out the heavens when the Lord Jesus stretched out His hands
to Thomas and said, Thomas, reach hither your fingers and put it
in the prints of these hands. That's the same God who stretched
out the heavens with His hands. He has a strong hand and He uses
His hands. He has a strong arm. Look here
in chapter 46. Look at this. I love this. He
has a strong arm. And you and I trust in that arm. Look what he said in chapter
46. Look in verse 3. Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob,
and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by
me from the belly, which are carried from the womb, And even
to your old age I am He, and even to gray hairs will I carry
you. I have made and I will bear,
even I will carry and deliver you. Well, that's a strong arm,
isn't it? Look what he says again back
over in chapter 40. Look at what he says in chapter
40. Look what he says in verse 10. Behold,
the Lord will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule
for him. Behold, his reward is with him,
and his work before him. He shall feed his flock like
a shepherd. He shall gather the lambs with
his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead
those that are with young." A strong arm. He has a strong arm. Aren't you glad for that? Aren't
you glad for that? You go find you some dumb island
laying in His arms, He can't carry you. But this God can carry
you. Through all your troubles and
all your circumstances and all your trials, I've carried you. From the time you left your mother's
womb, I carried you. All the way to old age, when
your hair turned gray and you was weak in your body, I carried
you. He carried you. And when you
were out there, a lost sheep strayed. His arm wretched got
you, didn't it? And brought you back into the
fold. What a strong arm. I think I told you about that
little old lady that was carrying the heavy suitcase riding on
the bus. I often think of that little story. Sitting there changing
hands, the suitcase was so heavy. Riding on the bus, holding with
one hand, standing up, switching arms with the suitcase. And the
fellow finally said, Lady, if you'll set that suitcase down,
this bus will carry it and you. He can carry you. He's got a
strong arm. To whom then will you liken me? And I tell you, he has feet.
He has feet. And he walks with his feet. I will walk among you. I will
be your God. and you shall be my people."
I'll tell you a better one than that. I will walk in you. I'll
be your God and you shall be my people. When those two were
on the road to Emmaus, the Lord Jesus came and walked with them
and opened to them the Scriptures. Oh, He comes to us in our misery,
doesn't He? He flies, as Solomon said, like
a roe up on the mountains. He's so swift. running to his
people to help them and to aid them. He has feet. He has feet. And he runs to his people. That's
the second thing. The third thing that he's going
to do with these idols, he tells us this, that he's going to bring
them to confusion. They're going to lose all their
pretended influence. They're going to come to nothing,
all of them. 8,747 idol gods. And you and I haven't heard of
hardly any of them. They're almost gone, aren't they? They've lost. We go to the Bible and we read
about Astaroth. He was the goddess of the Zidonians. He's not around anymore, is he?
He's gone. We read about Malcolm, the abomination
of the Ammonites. Shemos, the god of Moab, Molech,
the god of Ammon, Dagon, the weak god of the Philistines.
We come to the New Testament in Acts 14, we read about the
gods Jupiter and Mercury. We read about the great goddess
Diana, the god of the Ephesians that they claimed the whole world
worshiped. Acts chapter 28, Castor and Polok,
the two sons of Jupiter, He was said to be the deity of the soldiers
to keep them safe. Look in chapter 45 and verse
16 of our text. They shall be ashamed and also
confounded, all of them, they shall go to confusion together
that are makers of idols. I can name you page after page
of idols, and you'd say, I've never heard of those before.
Why? They've been crushed to powder.
They are no more. When God exalted the Lord Jesus
Christ, He put everything under His feet. And ever since that,
He's been crushing these silly, dumb idols. And when He's finished,
There won't be one name that opposes Him. Every knee is going
to bow, as our text said, and going to say that Jesus of Nazareth
is Lord and there is none else. And they'll do it to the glory
of God. I guess as this world continues
to fall away and dangerous times are coming, I think probably
what's going to happen is in the midst of that is all of these
idols are going to vanish. I just saw where even the Taliban,
when they came in and took over Afghanistan, blew up all the
Buddha, the little pot-bellied Buddhas that they dug in the
sides of the mountain. Blew them all up! The Lord's
going to crush them all, isn't He? He's going to say to those
idols, they're nothing, they're dumb, they're powder. He's going
to say to those that made them, you have no knowledge. You have
no knowledge. Here in our text, our mighty
Savior says this of Himself in verse 21, There is no God else
besides Me, a just God and a Savior. A just God and a Savior. Boy, that's the age-old question,
isn't it? How can God be just and yet be
a Savior? You look at our parents driven
out of the garden. Boy, their countenance is falling.
They're trembling. They look back at that cherubim
with a flaming sword turning every way that they can't get
back in there. And what do you see? You see a just God. But when you hear Him speak to
Satan and you hear Him give that precious promise, I am sending the seed of the
woman, and He will bruise your head. You not only see a just
God, you see a Savior. You see a Savior. You look at
the old world, and the water is rising, and all flesh is being
destroyed, and what do you see? You see a just God. And you see
an ark floating above those waters with eight souls in it. You see
a just God. and a Savior. You go yonder to Sodom and Gomorrah
and the cities of the plains, and there is the fire and brimstone
falling from God out of heaven and destroying the cities, you
see a just God. And you see a man and his two
daughters being led up the hill by angels, and you see a just
God and a Savior. I am a just God and a Savior. Look yonder on Calvary's tree,
if you can see through the thick darkness, and you hear groans,
my God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? And you see a just
God. But stand there just a minute
longer and hear the voice, it is finished. And you see a spear
pierce the side of the blessed Savior, and blood and water come
gushing out. And you see a just God and a
Savior. You go yonder to see a rebel
that is against God and has said it in all his counsels and would
of none of his reproofs. wouldn't listen and hardened
his heart. And God says, I will laugh at your calamity and I
will mock when your fear comes. You see a just God. You see a
just God. But you go younger and you see
a man whose heart is broken and he's smiling upon his chest and
he's saying, God be merciful to me, a sinner. You see a just
God and you see a Savior. And you go yonder to the last
great day where all the world stands before the Judge of all
of the earth. And He says to those on His right
hand, Depart from Me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire. And you'll
see a just God. But you hear Him say to those
on His right hand, Come ye blessed in My Father. inherit the kingdom
prepared for you from the foundation of the world, and you'll not
only see a just God, you'll see a Savior. God must be just! He can never be anything but
just! And I tell you, He's a Savior
for many. He's a Savior for many. And here's His Word to you and
me today in verse 22. Look unto Me and be ye saved. Look unto Me. Brothers and sisters,
where else can we look to be saved? Is there any other place
where sin has been punished? Is there another fountain that
can cleanse us from the guilt and pollution of sin? Is there
grace and mercy and marriage in another for poor sinners like
you and I are? There is no Savior but Him. Look unto Me and be ye saved. There is no other. Who is to
look? Everyone who is in need of being
saved. Look unto Me and be ye saved. Do you need to be saved? Boy,
I need to be saved. I need to be saved. I professed
the Lord 40-something years ago. And I'm telling you this morning,
I need to be saved just as bad as I needed it back then. I have
been saved and I am being saved. And that's why we keep looking
to Him. We still need to be saved. We
look to the Son of God coming down from heaven and taking our
humanity. Shannon, we look to Him living
a holy and perfect life. We look to Him upon the cross,
purging our sins. We look to Him in the tomb, dead
in our place. And we look to Him risen and
ascended at the right hand of God, making intercessions for
us. We look to Him, coming again. Look unto Me. There is no place
else to look, is there? If a man wants to be saved, and
we must be saved, then look, He said. Who is to look? all
the ends of the earth. Boy, this earth may stand a thousand
more years, but you know the end of this earth may be for
us today. This may be the last day that
some of us live in this world. We may have come to the end of
this earth. Therefore, look! Look! And be a saint. Today is the
day of salvation. We got in this mess by looking.
You know why the world is so sinful. You know why we are like
we are and do what we do. Way back there in the garden,
Adam and Eve looked upon that forbidden fruit. They looked
upon that forbidden fruit. And you know how we're going
to get out of this mess? The same way. We're going to look
to the Savior. That's going to get us out of
this mess. Look unto me and be ye saved. You know looking is
one of the easiest things anybody ever did. It's the easiest thing. You can do it without any effort.
You don't even really do it on purpose. My eyes are running
all over this congregation this morning. I'm seeing everybody.
I'm not straining. I'm just looking. And when you
look, what happens? You see. There's one of the most
amazing verses in closing. Look here at it in chapter 42.
This is gospel language. Wayne was talking this morning.
How do you explain these things? It's so frustrating to this world.
But look here in verse 18 of chapter 42. This makes no sense
until you come to the Word of God. Hear ye death. Hear ye death. Why preach to
dead sinners? He tells us to. Dead sinners
get alive. Why talk to somebody who is deaf? Because he said to. Hear you
deaf, and look at this, and look you blind. That makes no sense. That would
be offensive if you walked up to a blind man and said, look
at the color of my car. What's the matter with you man?
I can't see a thing. But when it comes to the spiritual
realm, look you blind and what happens that you may see. Jesus Christ is yours for a look. Strength is yours for a look. Freedom is yours for a look. Everything He is, Everything
that He gives is yours for a look. Look unto Me. Let's stop pretending
that this thing is impossible. It is impossible without the
Spirit of the Lord. We know that. But I tell you
what, just look and you'll see. That's easy. That's easy. Our
trouble is we're looking everywhere else. Look, you blind. Look, you blind! There's somebody
here this morning, and I just know you're blind as a bat. You've
never seen Christ in all your life. You're blind as a bat.
And I'm just telling you this morning, look outside yourself.
Look away from yourself. Look away from your guilt, away
from your sin, away from your failures. Look to Jesus Christ. And when you look, you'll see
Him. You'll see Him in your understanding. You'll see Him as He's revealed
in this Word. Look! and live. My brother live. And that's what
we'll close with this morning. I think it's 195 in our song.
