John chapter 19, bring our message
from verse 1 down to verse 11 or 12 or thereabouts. I'm entitling
the message from what is said in verse 4, Pilate declares unto
them again, John 19 verse 4, Pilate therefore went forth and
saith unto them, that is the Jews who demanded the death of
the Lord Jesus Christ, saith unto him, behold, I bring him
forth to you that you may know that I find him not guilty. I find no fault in him. He repeats this again down in
verse six. where he says, You take him.
Pilate saith unto them, You take him, and You crucify him. I find
no fault in him at all. Back in chapter 18, verse 38,
Pilate declares that statement not once, not twice, but three
times. Pilate saith unto him, What is
truth? And when he had said this, he
went again, went out again to the Jews and said unto them,
I find no defect, no sin, no fault at all." We read a moment
ago from Matthew 27, Pilate says about the Lord Jesus Christ that
He is a just person. Now we see that Pilate here in
our text is determined to examine the Lord, having been brought
and accused by the Jews. Having done so, he's determined
to release Him. He tries on several occasions
to have Him released, but it cannot be done. And he's prevented
from doing so. You know why? Him being delivered
by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, Peter said
in Acts 2.23, You have taken and with wicked hands have crucified
and slain the Lord of glory. Pilate could not have the Lord
Jesus Christ released because this is God's Lamb. This is God's
sacrifice. This is that Passover Lamb. Look at verse 14. It was the
preparation of the Passover. What happened on the Passover? The lamb was to be slain. The
blood applied. And the Lord Jesus Christ, He
is that Passover. And He saith unto them, Pilate
saith unto the Jews, Behold your King. This is the Lord Jesus
Christ crucified, is the Lamb of God, the Passover Lamb that
indeed takes away all our sin. The Apostle writes about it in
1 Corinthians 5. He said, For even Christ, our
Passover, is sacrificed for us. I love that statement in Exodus
chapter 12 where God said, when I see the blood, I will pass
over you. Do you have a Passover lamb?
Do you need a Passover lamb? Do you need the Lord Jesus Christ
as your God and Savior to put away all your sin? You are a sinner, no doubt you
are, because all have sinned in Adam. Thank God the Lord Jesus
Christ came once in the end of the age to put away sin by the
sacrifice of Himself. And my friend, he did not fail
to accomplish all of God's purpose in saving His people. Let's go
back to John 19 verse 1, Then Pilate therefore took the Lord
Jesus Christ and scourged Him. And the soldiers planted a crown
of thorn and put it on His head. And they put on Him a purple
robe and said, Hail, King of the Jews! And they smote Him
with their hand. What wicked treatment. Pilate
thinking perhaps this scourging, this drawing out of some blood
would satisfy these bloodthirsty Jews who cried out for the Lord's
death. And he does so, having the Lord
Jesus Christ scourged, and he's thinking now, I'll be able to
release the Lord and have no blood on my hands. We read in
Matthew 27, you remember Pilate fetched a bowl of water and washed
his hands and I said, I'm innocent, I'm innocent. No, you're not
Pilate, you're guilty. You got blood on your hands,
you can't wash it away. Pilate says on one occasion,
I'll chastise him and release him, but this does not work. Pilate seeks to release the Lord
according to the custom of the day, to have a criminal released
on a Passover feast, but this fails as well. You see the Lord
Jesus Christ being delivered of God. In the fullness of time,
God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
to redeem us from the curse of the law. The Lord Jesus Christ
must die for our sin or we'll have no salvation. Now this scourging that's mentioned
here in verse 1 of John 19 is no ordinary chastisement. It's not like we used to get
when we were in school. I guess they don't do this anymore.
When we misbehaved in school, they would take out a special
instrument of cruelty. And they even had special names
for those things that they applied to the seat of understanding. to the rear end. Our gym coach
used to have a paddle he called the Black Hornet. and he'd make
it stain too. But this chastisement here is
just not a whipping on the bottom. This chastisement is to take
a victim and tie him to a pole to strip his clothes off and
to take a whip. Usually it had seven or eight
tails in this whip and in the end of each of these tail whips
of this tail were pieces of metal, glass, or bone and they would
whip that victim on his back and they'd pull it back and just
rip the flesh Oftentimes, those who were scourged died under
this method of beating. Under the law, one could not
be beaten. Under the Jewish law, one could
not be beaten more than 40 strikes. So they always would beat someone
40, save one, 39 times, just to make sure they didn't violate
the law. But the Lord Jesus Christ, He was beaten under Roman law. They didn't count. It didn't
matter. Oftentimes the victim was beaten
until he bled to death. And then they enjoyed such cruel
treatment of the Lord. In Isaiah 53, it talks about
the Lord being wounded for our transgression, bruised for our
iniquity, and with the chastisement, the stripes that were laid upon
Him, and the chastisement that was upon Him with His stripes,
we are healed. We're healed. This scourging
here is a divine emblem. is a divine emblem of the wrath
of God against our sin with His stripes, with His beating. For
our sin at the justice of God being meted out upon Him, the
Lord takes the beating we deserve by the stroke of divine justice
and He sets us free. with his stripes we are healed."
The just dying for the unjust that we might be brought unto
God. In verse 2 and 3 of John 19,
before they mocked the Lord as the prophet, we read about that
one time in Matthew 26 where it says they hit him upon the
face and they said, your prophet prophesy who hits you. They mocked
him in his They mocked him as the prophet of God. They mocked
him not only as a prophet of God, they mocked him as a priest
of God. They said of him in Matthew 27,
42, he saved others, himself he cannot save. They mocked his
priesthood and here they mock him in his kingly office. The
Lord Jesus Christ indeed is that prophet of God. Moses said that
God told unto Moses that he would raise up from among the brethren
that would speak forth the word of God. Our Lord indeed is the
Almighty King that all men must answer to and submit and bow
unto. He is King of kings and He is
Lord of lords. This is the God with whom we
have to do with this King, this One who is God's prophet, this
One who is God's priest, this One who is God's King. You see,
all judgment is committed unto the Lord Jesus Christ. In Acts
17 we read this, Because the Lord Jesus Christ, God Almighty,
is appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness
by that man, the God-man, whom he has ordained. Now why such unjust and horrible
treatment? Hail, King of the Jews, they
smote him. and they beat him and they mocked
him. Why such horrible treatment to
the one who deserved no such treatment at all? Well, several
reasons. We see here the display of man's
sinfulness and total depravity, don't we? We see the wickedness
of men let go just a little bit and we see how They treated the Lord God Almighty,
the carnal mind and enmity against God. Secondly, the hour has arrived
that was spoken of in the Garden of Eden, when the woman's seed
must be bruised of God. You remember back in John 17
verse 1, these words spake Jesus and lifted up his eyes to heaven
and said, Father, the hour has come. Glorify thy son that thy
son may glorify thee. We see here the woman's seed,
the promised seed, the promised Messiah being bruised. We read about the gospel promise
in Genesis 3.15 where God said, I will put enmity between thee
and the woman, between thy seed and her seed, The Lord Jesus
Christ shall bruise thy head, Satan's dominion and power, and
thou shalt bruise his heel." Speaking of Christ's humanity. Thirdly, to show us the gospel
of substitution. The gospel of substitution. He
is scourged, that is the Lord Jesus Christ is scourged that
we might be set free. Look at John 18 verse 8. You remember when they came to
arrest him? The Lord said, I've told you that I am, if you therefore
seek me, let these go their way. He is scourged that we might
be set free. Our Lord said, you shall know
the truth, and the truth shall set you free. He is crowned with
thorns that we might be crowned with Glory, the glory of His
salvation. He is clothed with a purple robe
that we might be clothed with the garments of salvation, with
a robe of righteousness. He was rejected as king, that
we should be made kings and priests unto our God, singing unto Him
who loved us and washed us from our sin in His own blood, and
has made us kings and priests unto our God. Now look back at
John 19 verse 4, And verse six, Pilate therefore went forth again
and saith unto them, behold, I bring forth, bring him forth
to you that you may know that I find no fault in him. Again, he says down in verse
6, when the chief priest, therefore, and officer saw him, they cried
out, saying, Crucify him! Crucify him! Pilate said unto
them, Take him and crucify him! I find him not guilty at all,
no fault in him. Now God uses Pilate again to
declare the Lord's perfect humanity and complete righteousness. I
find him to be guiltless. I find him to have no fault,
no defect, no flaw, no flaw in his character or his conduct. Truly our Savior is the spotless
Lamb of God, and He had to be. It had to be the Lamb without
blemish and without spot that was verily foreordained before
the foundation of the world. Even His enemies have to confess
that the Lord Jesus Christ is the spotless Lamb of God. After
Judas betrayed Him, he came back and he said this, I have betrayed
innocent blood. Herod, having examined the Lord
Jesus Christ, said, Nothing worthy of death is found in him." In
Matthew 27 we read what Pilate's wife said. She said, I've suffered
many things in a dream, have nothing to do with this just
man. The dying thief in Luke 23 said
of the Lord Jesus Christ, This man had done nothing wrong, nothing
amiss. Even the Roman soldier standing
beneath the body of the Lord Jesus Christ, maybe the blood
even falling about, and upon him said, surely this was a righteous
man. And others in Matthew 27 verse
54 said of the Lord Jesus Christ, truly this is the Son of God. John says of him in 1 John 3,
5, you know that he was manifested to take away our sins, and in
him is no sin. Peter, writing of him, said,
who did no sin, yet he bare our sin in his own body on the tree. The Apostle Paul, writing of
him in 2 Corinthians said, God made him to be sin for us, who
knew no sin, who knew no sin, who knew no sin that we by me
made the righteousness of God in him. The Father speaks from
heaven and said, this is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased,
hear ye Him. I find no defect in this one
who is my Lord and is my Savior." In Isaiah 42, 21, the Lord said
of the Lord Jesus Christ, He is well pleased for His righteousness
sake, He will magnify the law and make it honorable. I find
no defect in Him, no flaw in Him. How about you? He's my perfect
justifier. He's my perfect redeemer. He's
my perfect king and priest and Lord. I trust Him in everything
for all of my salvation. Pilate in verse 5, then came
Jesus forth wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe,
and Pilate saith unto them, behold, Behold, you take a look at this,
he's the man. This one from Galilee, this one
from Nazareth, this one who is a carpenter, son, behold, the
man. Here's a man with no fault. Now
that can't be said of you, not in yourself. That can't be said
of me. But here's a man, a real man,
bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh, who has no sin. Behold
this man." Now make no mistake, our blessed Redeemer is in every
way a real man. Not a phony man, not a plastic
man, not a fictitious man. The Lord Jesus Christ was a real
man without sin. A real man. was not the body
of the Lord Jesus Christ that He inhabited, or the body conceived
by God the Holy Spirit without the aid of a man, conceived by
God the Holy Spirit who had not the taint and guilt of Adam's
sin, but yet born of a virgin, a real man. It says in the Scripture,
I'll look this up, How many times to read about the Lord Jesus
Christ being called the Son of Man? The Son of Man. Eighty times. The Scriptures refer to the Lord
Jesus as the Son of Man. Let me just quote a few of them
for you. Matthew 18 says, "...the Son of Man has come to save that
which is lost." Here's the good shepherd after his sheep. In
Matthew 20 it says, "...even the Son of Man came not to be
ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom
for Many. His many. The many. In Mark 2
it says, But that you may know that the Son of Man hath power
on earth to forgive sins, he saith to the sick of the palsy,
Take up your bed, and walk. In John 3.14, we read, As Moses
lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the
Son of Man Be lifted up. Who is this son of man? Anyways,
he's just a mere man, a plain man. Is that all he is? Turn
back to John chapter 12. John chapter 12, who is this
man? Who is this one Jesus of Nazareth, the Galilee and the
Nazarite? The man from Nazarene. Look at
John chapter 12. Verse 31, now is the judgment
of this world. Now shall the prince of this
world be cast out, and I, if I be lifted up from the earth,
will draw all unto me. Notice the word men there has
been added. Speaking about drawing all of his elect unto him. Said
no man can come unto me except the Father which sent me. Draw
him, John 6, 44. This he said signifying what death he should
die, being crucified for us. The people answered him, We have
heard out of the law that Christ abided forever. How sayest thou
that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Now watch this. Who is this
Son of Man? Who is this one? Pilate brings
him forth and says, behold the man. Who is this man? Let's turn over here to Isaiah
9. Isaiah 9, verse 6. Who is this man? Is he just a
mere man? No, my friend. He's the God-man. We'll see in just a minute. This
man was prophesied about in the Old Testament. The whole Old
Testament says someone's coming. Isaiah 9, verse 6. For unto us
a child is born, And to us the Son is given, Son of God. And the government shall be upon
His shoulders. He'll come. Remember they came,
the wise men, they said, where is He, this born King? The government
shall be upon His shoulders. His name shall be called Wonderful,
Counselor, the Mighty God. Who is this man? The Mighty God,
the Everlasting Father. The Prince of Peace. You've seen
me, you've seen the Father. I and my Father are one. Of the
increase of His government and peace there shall be no end.
Upon the throne of David, upon His kingdom to order it, to establish
it with judgment and justice from henceforth forever. The
zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. The pleasure of
the Lord shall prosper in His hand. Who is this man? Turn to
John chapter 1. The prophet said, the Son of
God is given, His name shall be called Almighty God. Who is
this man? John 1.14, the Word. In the beginning was the Word,
the Word was with God and the Word was God. Verse 14 said,
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. Who is this man? He's full of
grace. He's full of truth. He's the
God-man mediator. Turn to Romans chapter 8. Who
is this man without fault, without blame, the guiltless one? Romans
chapter 8. He's none other than God Almighty
in the flesh. Romans chapter 8, look at verse
3. For what the law could not do, and it was weak through the
flesh, God sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh,
and for sin condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteousness
of the law might be fulfilled in us who walk not after the
Spirit, after the flesh rather, but after the Spirit. Now turn
to the book of Hebrews. Who is this man? A real man,
but he's a God-man. Mediate for one sin of God. Hebrews
chapter 2, turn there. Hebrews chapter 2, look at verse
14. For as much then as the children
are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took
part of the same, that through death he might destroy him that
had power of death, who had introduced sin, that is the devil, destroyed
him and delivered them, who through fear of death were all their
lifetime subject unto bondage." Who is this man turned to Hebrews
4? Hebrews chapter 4 verse 14, seeing then that we have a great
high priest that is passed into the heavens, Jesus, the Son of
God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not a high priest
which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities,
but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin
behold the man. in whom there is no sin." Who
is this man? But back to the text. Behold
a man, look at verse 7 now. John 19, verse 7. The Jews answered
him, said, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because
he made himself the Son of God. Son of God who is this man? He is none other than God Almighty
Manifest in the flesh turn back to John chapter 10 John chapter
10 He is the Son of Man, but He
is God the Son. He is the God-Man Mediator. The Lord Jesus Christ is both
totally and fully man and really and fully God in one blessed
person. That's why we call Him the God-Man.
The God-Man. In John chapter 10, He said in verse 27, My sheep
hear My voice, I know them, they follow me. John 10, 28, I give
unto them eternal life. They shall never perish, either
shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father which gave
them me is greater than all, and no man is able to pluck them
out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one. Then
the Jews, the same crowd here, that set away with him crucifying,
took up stones again to stone him. And the Lord answered them,
many good works have I showed you from my Father for which
it is, do you stone me? The Jews answered him saying,
for good work. We don't have any problem with
you feeding the poor. But for blasphemy, because thou being
a man, you make yourself God. You declare yourself to be God. Now they understood what he said,
didn't they? They were so angry. that they
took up stones to stone him. The Lord Jesus Christ declared
himself to be our God. Behold the man who is God Almighty
in the flesh. Turn to 1 Timothy. 1 Timothy chapter 1. 1 Timothy chapter 2 is what we
want to look at. 1 Timothy chapter 2. He will have all men to be saved,
that is, all kinds of men, young, old, bond-free, black, white,
and come to the knowledge of the truth. God has a people out
of all kindred, nation, and tongue, where there is one God and one
mediator between God and men, that is, the man, Christ Jesus,
who gave himself a ransom for all. That doesn't mean all without
exception, but certainly all without distinction. Young, old,
black, white, bond-free, out of every kindred, tribe, and
nation, and tongue under heaven, He gave Himself a ransom for
many to be testified in due time. But He is the Mediator, He's
the God-Man, the Man, Christ Jesus. Who is this Man? 1 Timothy
chapter 3, right across the page. Without controversy, verse 16.
Great is the mystery of godliness. God, 1 Timothy 3, 16, God was
manifest in the flesh, justified, vindicated by God the Holy Spirit. Scene of angels? They recognized
Him as God, worshipped Him as God, preached Him to the Gentiles
as God our Savior, believed on in the world as the only name
in which there is salvation, in no other name, and received
up to glory. When He had by Himself purged
our sin, He sat down on the right hand of God, declaring His work
complete, finished, and done. Turn back to John 19. Who is
this man? He's a man without fault. He's
a man who is Himself, God, manifest in the flesh. Now look at verse
8, 9, 10, and 11. When Pilate therefore heard that
saying, he became terrified, and went again in the judgment
hall and saith unto the Lord, Whence art thou? And the Lord
did not answer him, Then said Pilate unto him, Speakest thou
not unto me? knowest not that I have power
to crucify thee, or power to release thee? And the Lord corrected
him, Thou couldst have no power at all against me, except it
were given thee from above. He therefore that delivered me
unto thee, he hath a greater, greater condemnation. Pilate
said to the Lord, I have power over you. Who is this man who
has no fault? He is the Son of Man. He is the
Son of God. As the God-man mediator, all
power is in His hand. You remember John 17 verse 2?
Turn over there. John 17 verse 2, as thou has
given him power over all flesh that he should give eternal life
to as many as thou hath given to him. You don't have any power. I have all power, all authority. Now listen to this statement.
What you believe is determined by who you believe. What you
believe is determined by who you believe. If the God you trust
is weak and impotent and tries and fails, what you believe is
determined by who you believe. If your God wants to and can't,
is frustrated because he's not able, then you have a God that
is weak and impotent and in essence is nothing but a mere idol that
you've whittled out in your mind. You see, the God that's revealed
in Scripture is a God who cannot fail. He cannot fail, says that
in Isaiah 42, 4. You see, the God whom we trust,
the God who's revealed in Scripture, He said, I am God, beside me
there is no other. He has all power in heaven and
earth, therefore He cannot fail. You see, who you believe, what
you believe is determined by who you believe. Is your God
a failure? Has He tried to? Save and cannot. A God, small g, a God that can
be controlled and manipulated or hindered by the creature is
no God at all. The Lord Jesus Christ has all
power in heaven and in earth. He declares this upon His resurrection
glory. In Matthew 28, He said, All power
is given unto me in heaven and earth. I read from a moment ago
in John 17, He has all power over all flesh that He should
give eternal life to as many as the Father has given to Him.
The only thing the Jews and Pilate were able to do to the God-man
mediator is what God Almighty had decreed for them to do. Turn back to John 10. John chapter
10. They didn't have any power over
him. He had all power over them. They thought they were dictating
the actions of the day. Pilate says, I'm in charge. No, you're not. God's in charge. I'm in charge. He said in John
10, look at John 10 verse 18. Verse 17 says, therefore does
my father love me because I lay down my life that I might take
it again. No man takes it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down.
I have power to take it in. This power, this commandment
have I received of my Father. He has all power in heaven and
in earth. They only did what God determined
before to be done. Turn to the book of Acts chapter
4. The book of Acts chapter 4. Verse
26, The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered
together against the Lord and against His Christ. They were.
For betrothed against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed,
both Herod, Pontius Pilate, the Gentiles, all the Romans, the
people of Israel, the Jews, the Pharisees, the Sadducees were
gathered together. for to do whatsoever thy hand
and thy counsel determined before to be done." Never think about
the Lord Jesus Christ and his death as an accident. He dies
on purpose, at the appointed time, for the appointed people,
for the appointed purpose. He cannot fail to put away all
the sin of God's covenant people. There's nobody in hell for whom
the Lord Jesus Christ died. There's nobody in hell whom the
Lord Jesus Christ loves. That's an impossibility. Right? All that the Father hath given
to me, they'll come to me, and those that come to me I will
in no wise cast out. I don't want anything to do with
this weak, impotent God that dies for all men everywhere,
and then some of them end up in hell anyway. What kind of
God is that? It's a peanut God. It's an impotent
God. The God of Scripture is almighty,
all-powerful, and those for whom He loves, those for whom He died,
those for whom He justified by His blood, they cannot perish. They cannot. These Jews, impiled
in the whole Roman army, were only two tools in the instrument
of the hand of Almighty God to use them as He sees fit and then
to discard them at His pleasure. The heathen came to David one
day. It's recorded in Psalm 115. They
said, David, where is your God? We know where our God is. Old
Dagon, he's over here in the Temple of the Idols. And we put
him where we want him. He does what we tell him to do.
David, where is your God? David said, our God is in the
heavens. He's done whatsoever He is pleased. In heaven and
earth and sea and all deep places. God's will is never frustrated
by the puny creature. Come on now. If He's God, He's
God. Almighty and sovereign, holy
and eternal. This is the one to whom we bow
and worship. It's the only place a sinner
will bow and worship at the throne of the sovereign God. We read
in the book of Daniel, the old king Nebuchadnezzar thought he
was somebody big and important. He thought he had power. And
God taught him a lesson. He put him out in the field as
a wild animal, put him in the dust. And Nebuchadnezzar confessed
after the Lord gave him understanding. He said, I bless the Most High
God. I praise and honor Him that liveth
forever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and His
kingdom is from generation to generation. All the inhabitants
of the earth are as nothing. He doeth according to His will
in the army of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth,
and none can stay His hand, or none can say unto Him, God, what
are You doing? You see, everything He does is
right. "...of Him, and through Him, and to Him are all things,
to whom be glory both now and forever." This is a lesson the
Lord teaches us when He reveals the Gospel unto us. You see,
what you believe is determined by who you believe. All those
who have heard and learned of the Father, they come to the
Lord Jesus Christ. This is what the Lord teaches
us when He reveals the gospel unto us, that He is Lord in heaven
and in earth. He's Lord to the glory of God
the Father. He's not in your hand to do with
Him as you please. We're in His hand and He does
with us as He pleases. I can make good on that. Ephesians
chapter 1, in whom also we've obtained an inheritance, being
predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all
things after the counsel of his own will. Of his own will beget
he us with the word of truth. Salvation is not by your free
will. That makes me sick for someone
to say, salvation is by my free will. Well, you're a fool. That's
contrary to what this book says. Salvation is by God's will, God's
purpose. "...of His own will begat he
us with the word of truth, that we should be to the praise of
His glory, who first trusted in Christ." Not of Him that willeth, nor
of Him that runneth, but it's God that shows mercy. He shows
mercy to whom He will. The Lord Jesus Christ has all
power to save and all power to justly condemn according as he
will. Try it. This is the only way true worship
is established at the throne of the sovereign God Almighty. Now, in closing, let me ask you
this. Is this the God in whom you trust?
The God who cannot fail? The God who is both totally and
fully the Son of Man and a Son of God who has accomplished salvation
by His doing? You see, I find no fault in Him
at all. The Lord Jesus Christ is my perfect
Redeemer. He obtained eternal redemption
for me with His own blood. The Lord Jesus Christ, I find
no fault in Him. He's my perfect Savior. He saved
me from all my sin. The Lord Jesus Christ is my perfect
mediator to represent me before God. He's my perfect priest.
How about you? Do you need a mediator? There's
just one mediator between God and me, and that's the God-man.
The Lord Jesus Christ is my perfect sacrifice for sin. The Lord Jesus
Christ is my King, without defect, without fault. Everything he
does is right. I bow to him and I own him as
Thomas said, my Lord and my God. He has all power in heaven and
earth. Is this the one you trust? Is this the one who is your Savior?
The God-man mediator without fault, without sin, with the
perfect sacrifice as God. I like what Peter declared in
Acts chapter 4. There is no other name other
than heaven given among men whereby we must be saved. But Christ,
Christ, Christ alone has all power in heaven and in earth. He is our Passover. He is our
King. I bow to Him. I own Him. I love
Him as my King. He is my Lord and He is my God.
