Luke's Gospel chapter 14. I kept you a little bit long
this morning. I have no idea how long I'm going to keep you
tonight. I purposed the last couple of weeks that I wasn't
going to prepare anything to preach, and I haven't prepared
anything tonight. But I want to read one of the
greatest sermons again that was ever preached, and that's the
sermon the Master preached. We looked at one of his sermons
last week, and I want to look at another this week. If nothing
else, you can go off and tell people that your pastor over
the last two weeks has preached to the greatest message you've
ever heard in your life. You've got to come and hear our
pastor preach. Just don't tell him he's preaching.
You tell him I've got a full manuscript. He's been bringing
a full manuscript to the pulpit with him. The Lord is the prince
of preachers, isn't he? He's the prince of preachers.
I like to look at his messages. There's just nobody that did
what he could do. Spurgeon, I love to read Charles
Spurgeon. He had such a mind. He gathered
with some people in the tabernacle on Monday night and he never
prepared anything to preach on Monday nights. He didn't even
think about what he was going to preach. He just came there
and whatever got You know, him stirred up to preach is what
he preached. You have to be careful about
doing something. I would have to be careful about that. But
our Lord was amazing. Some situation would arise. Somebody would say something.
And boy, a message. And it was always appropriate
that it just fit the occasion. And this is what we find here. this message that he began to
preach in verse 16 of Luke chapter 14 concerning this parable of a
man making a great supper, and he sent his servant out to say
to them that were bidden, you know, come, the supper's ready,
and so on, and they wouldn't come. He preached this to these
people, but it's amazing the context of it. It's amazing, really, the Pharisees
here in verse 1, this one of the chief Pharisees invited our
Lord to dinner. It's sort of amazing. They had
all they could take. When He preached to them, they
had all they could take. And it's amazing, but in chapter
15 in verse 1, then drew near unto Him all the publicans and
sinners to hear Him. If the Pharisees won't hear Him,
there's those who will. If the scribes don't want anything
to do with Him, There are those publicans that will hear it.
But this Pharisee, for some reason or another, invited the Lord
into his house, probably out of courtesy. They did a lot of
this back in this day, they tell us. But I think that they set
him up. You know, these Pharisees were
setting the Lord up. It never did catch him, but they
often set him up. You can read this here in verse
2, Behold, there was a certain man before him, which had the
dropsy before him. And I wonder if these Pharisees,
it was the Sabbath, if these Pharisees didn't purposely set
this sick man right down in front of the Lord to see if he would
heal on the Sabbath day. They know that this would have
caught the Lord's eyes. Dropsy was an awful, awful disease. The body retains water. If you've
ever talked to anybody, their body retains a lot of water.
You know how painful that can be. And sometimes the lungs would
fill up with water and then smother to death and so on. But they
said usually back then the face would get exceedingly enlarged
and sometimes the arms and the torso. But they set this man
there and the Lord saw him, set him there and healed him. And
healed him. Well, sure enough, they didn't
like it. Look what they said in verse 3. And Jesus answered
and spake unto the lawyers and the Pharisees. Is it lawful to
heal on the Sabbath day? They held their peace. They kept
silent. And He took him. I love the way
this says it. If we want to preach, this is
a beautiful picture of salvation. Well, here it is. He took him.
What does the Lord do when He saves a man? He takes him, don't
He? Go get him and takes him. Takes him from his sin, takes
him from his worldly pleasures, takes him from things. He just
takes him. He took this man and healed him and let him go. Let him go. It's strange that
everybody, everybody of the Lord healed and let go, they wanted
to follow him. A man never follows the Lord until he finds out he's
free. You save a man and stick him
under the law and give him all these rules and burden him to
death? But boy, when the Lord saves
him, the Lord says, You're free. He said, Lord, I'm going to follow
you. I'll follow you. Tuck him, kill him, and save
him. And then in verse 5, the Lord answered them, saying, Which
of you have an ass or an ox, fallen to a pit, will not straightway
pull him out on the Sabbath day? And they could not answer him
again. in these things. And he does
two things. He speaks here to the Pharisee
who invited people to eat. And then in verse 12, he speaks
to those who are coming to eat. And he teaches a good lesson.
In verse 7, he put forth a parable to those which were bidden. I've
got it turned around. He puts forth a parable first
to those who are bidden in verse 7. When he marked out how they
chose the chief room the best places, and he gives them a pearl
of earth. Don't come in and take the best
place. The man that invited you may come to you and say, you
need to lay in the front seat and go to the back. We've got
a more important fellow that's going to sit with you. I'd be
embarrassed. And he says, you go to the back. Sit in the back.
And then he'll go to the back and say, friend, you come up
here. And the lesson he was teaching was this that is taught all through
the Bible. He that humbleth himself shall be exalted, and he that
exalteth himself shall be humbled. That is what he was teaching.
And then in verse 12 he said also to him that they him. When
you make a dinner or a supper, do not call your friends or your
brethren or your kinsmen or your rich neighbors. lest they also
bid you again, and a recompense may be made unto you." He's not
saying absolutely you can't do that, but there are some other
people you need to be concerned about. When you make a feast,
call the poor. Call those who are maimed. They've
got their limbs cut off, they're crippled. Call the lame and the
blind, and thou shalt be blessed. For they cannot repay you. They can't recompense you. You
shall be recompensed at the resurrection of the just." I don't know how
that jives with some of us thinking about it won't be rewarded, but
that sort of indicates there the Lord is going to repay those
that live and do for His glory, isn't He? And herefore the message comes
up in verse 15. And when one of them that sat
at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed
is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God. I don't know why he said that
and what motives were, but boy, here now the Lord Jesus is going
to take this word that this man said and he's going to preach
a message. There's been a lot of bidding. to come to the feast. Now this man says there is a
kingdom and people are going to eat bread in this kingdom.
Blessed is that man. The Lord is going to preach a
message on this, and this is a problem. Verse 16, And he said
unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many,
and sent his servant at suppertime to say to them that were bidden,
For all things are now ready." Now, this is amazing. This is
amazing. A supper time down south where
I was raised, supper time is the last meal of the day. But
you know, I think it's that way everywhere, isn't it? We call
it dinner and supper. It's the last meal. That's what
the gospel is, isn't it? That's what Calvary is about.
In these last days, Christ came. The gospel. This is the gospel. The supper is made. And now he
sends out his servant to say to them that are bidden, Come. Come. Come. Do you have any problem preaching
to sinners? Do you have any problem? You've
got neighbors that you want to talk to, and you just don't know
how to do it. You're timid in doing it. You
know the best message. And any child of God should be
able to preach it. And you know what it is. It's
so simple. Come. Come. That's what the Master
says. He sends out this invitation,
and here's what it is. Come. The Spirit and the Bride
say, Come. Let him that is a thirst say,
Come. Whosoever will, let him come
and take the water of life freely. But on what grounds do we tell
people to come? We have a lunch here every Sunday
evening, but it's a potluck, isn't it? You ladies bring things. If you ladies didn't bring things,
we wouldn't have a dinner. You don't come here and sit down
back there and everything's ready. But this is the gospel. On what
grounds do we tell people to come to the Lord Jesus Christ? Everything's ready. All things are ready. Come. Don't bring anything with
you. It's ready. You don't set out in order. When
you set out, it's there. You set out to eat. The meal
is Ready. Come. This is the gospel. The Son of God has came to this
earth. He has finished the work of redemption. Sin has been punished. The law
has been fulfilled. God is satisfied. God has set
Him on His right hand. Everything is ready. Come. Come to the Lord Jesus
Christ. He that comes to me shall never
hunger, and he that believes on me shall never thirst to come." There has been a controversy
for years, even back in the old Puritans' day, of this business
of particular redemption. And one of the ways they phrased
it back in John Bunyan's day when they first come out with
a Calvinistic system of particular redemption and the tulip as they
call it. And here was the controversy.
Here's the way they put it. Those who held to particular
redemption were reproached by those who
didn't. And here's what they said to those who believed in
particular redemption. If you do not believe that Jesus
Christ died for every man without exception, then how do you tell
him to come? If a sacrifice has not been offered
for that man, he would destroy himself to approach him to God.
On what grounds can you tell a man to come, all things are
ready, if perhaps all things aren't ready for him, if Christ
didn't die for him? Well, can you use that argument about
election, too? How do you go out and tell men
to come, what if they're not elect? What if they're not one
of God's elect? What if they're not chosen to
salvation? Here is the way we answer such
things. Do you want to know if you're
one of His? Then come! Come! All that the Father gives to
me shall come to me. Do we want it answered before
we come? We know, man, you've got some
sisters. They want the answers before they come to Christ. You
ain't going to get them. You want to know if God loves
you? Isn't it curious you read through the book of Acts and
may never go out telling sinners God loves them. We've got preachers
today that say they can't preach unless they go saying God loves
you, God loves you, God loves you. But the apostles never went
out and preached that. People have to know that from
the Holy Spirit. The love of God has to be revealed. And it's only revealed one place,
in Jesus Christ. And I tell you when you're going
to find out if God loves you, when you come to Christ. And there's where you'll find
out. There's where you'll take your place as an ungodly man,
deserving of hell. And there's where you'll find
out He died for you. If you can take your place and you can qualify
as those for whom He died, here's what you must say about yourself.
He died for the ungodly. Do you fit that condition? Then come. Come. Everything's ready. Just come. Come and eat. Buy wine and milk
without money and without price. It's ready. Come, come, come. Don't let anybody say that a
convinced Calvinist can't preach the gospel freely and tell sinners
to come. In verse 18, now look at this. You go out and you say to them,
you just say it. Just say it. That's all you've
got to do. Just say it. Say, come, everything's ready.
That's not difficult, is it? Here's the first respond that
our Master gives. And they all with one consent,
with one accord, begin to make excuse. The first said unto him,
I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go. and see
it. I tell you, I've never been into
the market for buying property and stuff, but this don't seem
right to me. It don't seem like this man is
very wise to buy a piece of ground without first seeing it. Somebody
may have well sold him some swampland, and he hasn't even seen it yet.
He either had a lot of money or not much since. To my opinion,
that's just my opinion, but I bought this ground and I've got to go
see it. And you know what the Master
said, that's not a good reason, that's the excuse. That's the
excuse. Is anything wrong with buying
land? Why, no. All of us, I bought
my own house, you bought your house, you own your house, you
own your house, you own your house. There's a lot of lawful things
that we can do. But in our depravity, we twist
it and use it to the detriment of our poor, eternity-bound souls. I bought some land. I can't come. And look at this next one. Another
said in verse 19, I bought five yoke of oxen, and I've got to
go test them, prove them. I pray thee, have me excused. And another said, I've married
a wife and therefore I cannot come. Isn't that amazing? When you go say to people, you
go say to people, nobody is going to say to you, I bet you won't
find one person out of a thousand that will say to you, I hate
your master. I don't want to sit at his table.
I'm not going. They won't say that. That's what
they really mean. But what they'll say is, I'd
love to, but I just can't today. I've got some pressing business.
I'd go today, but boy, I've got to mow the yard. The yard can't
wait until tomorrow. I've got to wash the car. Oh,
excuses. Is it not excuses? All the Lord
has to do to let a man perish is just send His servant out
and say and leave the decision up to man. as to where He's coming
or not. We talk about giving a man a
chance. Well, here's the man that we're giving a chance. And
you know something? They're going to curse themselves
for all eternity for abusing it. We'll see that in just a minute
as our Master closes this pearl. I married a wife. Bring her with
you. Bring her with you. He married a wife. I wonder if
he's going to blame God for that like our first dad did. The woman
you gave me. I'd have come to Christ, but
that woman you gave me. Ain't it funny how men twist
things to blame God about you? In verse 21, so the servant came
and showed his Lord these things. You know, I go to the Lord and
tell on some of you all the time. I'm not going to mention your
names, but I do. So-and-so slept this morning while I preached.
And I didn't say anything about it. I just wanted you to know
it, Lord. Lord, oh, so-and-so has been
missing a lot of worship service. You know I've been in my study. I've been preparing to preach.
And, Lord, they're not even coming to hear me anymore. Lord, this
is their names. If you've got problems with somebody,
don't tell other people. Tell the Lord. And if you've talked to a neighbor,
if you've talked to a co-worker, and he won't come to Christ after
you have encouraged him to come and preached the gospel to him,
then go to the Lord and say, Lord, I have preached to him. I have told him of you. And Lord,
he won't come. And I'd hate to be in that man's
shoes. I remember that little story
of the boy who had gone astray and become very rebellious to
his mother. And he came out from a night
of carousing one night and came in the door so he wouldn't wake
his mom up, but he heard his mother praying. And she was saying, Lord, I have told my son about you. Lord,
I have told my son about his sin and the judgment. Lord, I have told him. And Lord,
I'll be a witness against him there when he stands before you."
And that young man said, never has my heart been so smitten
to think my dear mother would stand before God and witness
against me. Oh, wouldn't it be awful? Men
don't reject the gospel. The Lord don't send His servants
out in vain and have men to refuse mercy and then never give account
of it someday. He knows that His servants go
tell Him, Lord, I did it. And they've not hearkened. And
what was the Master's response? Well, look at it. The Master
of the house. Oh, who is this that sent out
His servants? He's the master of the house. He's the Lord of the place. And look at it. He was angry. He was angry and said to His
servants, go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the
city and bring in hither the poor and the maimed and the hauled
and the blind. He was angry. We don't hear much
about this in our day, do we? Back in the 1800s, they were preaching the anger
of God so much that they said, we've got to concentrate more
on the love and goodness of God. But you know, we've switched
it around, haven't we? We've got those who concentrate
so much on the love of God, we hear nothing of this thing about
God can be angry. Different places we find this. In Psalms chapter 11, I think
it's verse 7, God is angry with the wicked every day. God is
angry with the wicked every day. Now, it doesn't mean that God
is controlled by this passion. Did you ever lose your temper
and you just get almost in control? You don't know what you're doing.
You're out of your mind. The Lord's not that way. But He's
angry with the wicked every day. He hates the sin. He can't look
upon it. He'll never justify it. Oh, the
wicked go on at work, and they come home of the night, and they
eat their supper, and they sit and rest and go to bed, and they
sleep and do it all over again. And they have no idea that the
all-seeing eye of God is watching over them and preserving them
to the day of judgment to be punished. One of the most dreadful things
I can think of is to have God for your enemy. I tell you, I'd rather the world
be against me and hell be against me, if God is for me, than everybody
else to be for me and God against me. God is angry with the wicked
every day that He lives. He's angry with the wicked. And there's another time, and
it fits right in here. You remember chapter 2 of Psalms? where it said, Kiss the
Son. This is amazing how he says this.
Kiss the Son. What do you do when you kiss
somebody? You show your affections, don't you? You've got to get
close to them. You can't kiss standing away
off. You come up and you kiss him. Kiss the Son. Kiss him right in the mouth.
Lest he be angry with you. And you perish from the way when
this wrath is kindled. That goes right here. The Lord
will not have His mercy slighted. He won't send out His servants
to say to them that were being calm, everything that's been
prepared, just to hear excuses. It enrages Him. It stirs up His
anger. Well, Ralph Barnard used to say
this. Of course, Barnard had a way
with him. He said, people in America that are setting Sunday after
Sunday and Wednesday after Wednesday, and they're told about this great
salvation They're told to come to Jesus Christ. Everything that's
needed is in Him. And they sit Sunday after Sunday. And He said it's not so much
the open rebellion that they manifest. It's just the neglect. The neglect
to come. They don't say, I am not coming. They just excuse me right now.
A later date, when the marriage as the newness of it wore off. After I've tested my oxen. After I've seen my ground. Then
I'll come. Then differs the neglect. And
here's what Marner said about that. He said there's people in America
who would be better off to get on a plane and fly to some foreign
country as far as the plane could take them. Get off the plane
and get in a truck and drive it as far as you could. Get out
of the truck and get on a donkey and ride him as far as you can.
Get off the donkey and walk as far as you can. Get your shovel
and dig a hole and get in it and pull the dirt in after you.
He would be better off to do that than to sit Sunday after
Sunday and hear the gospel and say, no, thank you, not now. How shall we escape if we neglect
so great a salvation? What did the Lord say to Chiroza
and Bethsaida? It's going to be better off,
he said, for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for
you. They never saw my miracles. They
never stood and heard me cry, come unto me and drink and live. They never heard the gospel at
my lips. They never knew my presence.
And they're going to be much better off than you who have
all of those things. Anger. He was angry. Aren't you glad? Aren't you glad
for the rest of that verse? That the Lord didn't say, I'm
angry, I'm finished with all of it. Just wipe them off and
let them go. I'm finished with it. He didn't say that. Aren't you
thankful He didn't say that? Here's the command He'd given.
And it comes in the form of command. Because they said in verse 22,
Lord, it's done as thou hast commanded. Oh, that's what I like. I don't
want the Lord just to say, Lord, you know, go out and give Him
a chance. Give Him an opportunity. He does a lot of people that
way. He gives them space to repent. I tell you, I don't want space.
I want grace. But he says to them, he commands
them to go get these guys. You go get them. And you bring
them in here. And you set them down at my table.
I don't even know how we could call this a call. It is. It obviously is. But they just
go out and they gather up these guys, load them on the cart and
bring them in to sit down and eat. And there they sat. Ain't
that amazing? I've read a story, and a lot
of people are amazed at this. Some people don't believe it,
but this guy was amazed at it himself. He said he was about
a middle-aged fellow. He was a businessman, and he
traveled a lot and stayed in motels. He said he had no interest,
no interest at all in the gospel, no interest in Christ at all.
He sat down on the bed and opened the door, and there was a Gideon
Bible. And he opened up the Bible. I've forgotten where he said
he was reading. I think someplace in John. He opened up the Bible,
and as he began to read it, the Lord opened his heart. And he said, suddenly I found
myself with a saving interest in the Lord Jesus Christ. That's about what happened here. That's not my case. That's not
what happened to me. Boy, that seems like what happened
to these fellows. I love it when the Lord says, go tell them to
come in. And not only tell them, but you bring them. That sort
of sounds like irresistible grace, doesn't it? Tell them to come. No, you bring
them. And they came back and said, Lord, it's done as you
commanded. And I love this. There's still
room. There's room. You need a Savior. You really need a Savior. Are
you conscious of it? Well, there's room for you. Though millions have come, there's
still room for one. There's room at the cross for
you. You want to come to Christ? You
want forgiveness? You want life eternal? You want
acceptance with God? There's room. The Master has
a big house. In my Father's house are many
mansions. If it weren't so, I wouldn't
have told you that. I'm not going to lie to you.
It's a big place. There's room. Jesus Christ's
heart is larger than this universe and it's full of grace. There's
room. There's room, I tell you, brothers
and sisters, I would say this. There's room for this world itself if it would come on His terms.
Do you believe that? There's room. People aren't rejected and turned
away because there's not room. People are turned away because
they don't come. They don't come. There's room. And verse 43, notice
this. The Lord's not satisfied. He's
not finished yet. And the Lord said unto the servant,
Go out into the highways and the hedges. And you compel them
to come in, that my house may be full, may be filled. Isn't it wonderful? The Lord
will let me get up here and comment on His message like this. I was
telling somebody between the services, if you took a poet
or one of these, Shakespeare, can you imagine? Shakespeare
sitting and letting anybody get up and read one of his poems
or something and comment on it. Hey, you don't mess with my work,
buddy. You read my poem and you stay right there and you shut
up and sit down when you're finished. Don't you comment. And you're
the Lord of glory. Well, let me get up here and
comment on his message. Isn't he a wonderful Lord? And here he says, go out into
the highways and hedges. They tell us about these highways
and hedges. This is where a lot of the criminals,
they went to to hide out. They'd go out in the hedges.
They lived there too because this is where they robbed people.
They'd ambush them. And he says, now you go out and
get the criminals. Hiding out. Planning their next
stakeout. The robbery. But here's what
you're going to have to do to them. You're going to have to
compel them to come in. Now, here we've got these three
different kinds. Do you notice this is the third group? The
first one, he just said to them, you know, it's ready, come. You've
got an invitation. Here it is right here. Invitation.
If you want to, come. Everything's ready. If you don't
come, bring nobody but yourself. The next one, he said, you just
go out and bring them in. Now, here's another way that
the sermon deals with it. These, he said, I want you to
compel them to come in. I don't want you just to say
to them, you know, the supper's ready, come on. That won't be
enough for these. I don't want you to snatch them
up and put them in a little cart and bring them here. I want you
to deal with them. I want you to reason with them.
I want you to argue with them. When they give you an excuse,
I want you to repel it with the truth. I want you to reason with
them. That's what this means. Force
them by argument. Here is where the Lord said,
He that winneth souls is wise. You talk to people that offer
excuses, and some people really legitimize it. I know two ladies. We have one down in the nursing
home. You talk to her about the Lord. And she busts out into
tears. Oh, you don't know how I am.
You don't know what I've done. What are you supposed to do with
somebody like that? You find out how she's thinking
in her mind, and you rebut her arguments against not coming. Oh, I'm too great a sinner. Jesus
Christ came to save sinners. But I'm the worst sinner in the
world. No, He's already saved the worst one. The Apostle Paul. And I'm the next one. You've
got to come behind me. He's a Savior of sinners. Come then. Compel them to come
in. Reason with them. Warn them. Encourage them. Compel them to
come in. This Word carries with it force.
compel, force it as the same thing as a propeller on the back
of a ship. It propels. It compels the ship
to go. We compel men to come to Christ
by persuading them with words. Why? That my house may be filled. There may be somebody here at
the mountain that won't come to Christ. You just won't come
to Him. He sends out the invitation, but you make excuses. I don't know what it might be. Some people come to you, and
they try to persuade you. They tell you about the love
of Christ, the gentleness of Christ. But you're not going
to come. And you may miss Him, and you
may miss Heaven. But you know something? His house
is going to be filled. The Father's house is going to
be filled. That's for sure. And look in verse 24. For I say
unto you that none of those men which were bidden shall taste
of my supper. Not one of them that would not
come shall taste. They are not going to get a taste
of my saving mercy. They're not going to taste my
love. They're not going to know absolutely nothing about my kindness. Nothing. Not a taste. Not a taste. Now, we looked at why he began
to preach these. Let's look now at what happened
after he preached this message, just for a minute, and I'll let
you go. And there went great multitudes
with him, and he turned and said unto them, I appreciate this
so much. I appreciate you folks following
me. I tell you, I was just so discouraged, and I've been wringing
my hands, and I'm frustrated, and I thought, boy, nobody will
let me do anything for them. I just appreciate you folks following
me. And what he said was, here we find out, I guess, Why, others
wouldn't come to begin with. Look what he said in verse 26,
If any man will come to me, and hate not his father, and mother,
and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own
life also, he cannot be my disciple. Well, I said, come. But you can't come if your heart's
on your oxen. You can't come if your heart
is on the lamb that you love. You can't come if you love your
wife more than you love Him that sets us free. He's the Master. And you can't
come but as you come bowing to the Master. He's the Savior. And you can't come unless you
bow to Him and be saved by Him alone. Nothing else, nothing
else must enter. Boy, that makes the coming then
different, doesn't it? I'll come up front. That ain't
before He tells you to come. Come to Him. But boy, when you
come to Him, You come over, you come around, you come through
everything and everybody that tries to keep you from coming. Will you have Christ? Will you
have Him above everybody and everything? That's the only way
to have Him. That's the only way to have Him. Then he tells them in verse 27,
boy, to count the cross. Count the cost. Whosoever doeth
not bear his cross, and come after me, he cannot be my disciple. Which of you intendeth to build
a tower? He sets not them first, and he
counts the cost. Why? He is going to be ashamed.
He is going to be brought to shame. Verse 29, Less happily
after he is laid, the foundation is not able to finish it. All
that behold him begin to mock him. Count the cost. Count the cost. Oh, God have
mercy upon your pastor. How many men, how many people
have I baptized that never counted the cost? Where are they now? They obviously
never counted the cost. Sometimes I wish that I set them
down as I have some and say, no, I won't baptize you. You
need to think about this. You need to count the cost. This
is not to play with. You don't play with these things.
You better count the cost. There's coming a day when you're
going to be ashamed. And not only that, he went ahead
to say this, not only shame, but utter defeat. Verse 31, What
king, going to make war against another king, sets not them first,
and consoleth where he is able, with ten thousand, to meet him
that cometh against him, with twenty thousand? Boy, you better
count the cost. Can I whip this guy? Can I face
him? Or else, while the others get
a great way off, he sends us an ambassador. and says, I'm
going to surrender my sword. I bow. I can't defeat you. I'm whipped. Likewise, whosoever he be of
you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. Anything that comes between us
and coming to It has to be got around, got over, got through. We've got to get to Him. Lord bless this message.
