The High Priest Between the Dead and the Living

Now, if you will, turn, please,
in your Bibles to the book of Numbers again. I want to make a few introductory
remarks before I get to the heart of my message on the subject,
the high priest standing before the dead and the living. As I
read this scripture a moment ago, I thought as I was reading
it, if the people do not understand the sin of Korah and Dathan and
Abiram and these 250 notable princes of Israel. They're going
to feel that the judgment of God against these men was too
harsh, for he sent fire from heaven and consumed 250 of the
leading men of Israel. And he opened the ground underneath
the tents of Korah and Dathan and Abiram and swallowed up them,
their servants, their wives and their children and all that appertained
to them. And then God sent a plague the
next day among the people and destroyed 14,700 Israelites.
And it would seem to the careless reader that the only sin these men of which these men were guilty,
was rebelling against Moses' authority. That seems to be the
indication. If you're not well versed in
the scripture, if you're not a student of substitution, if
you're not a student of the gospel, that's all you're going to see.
But verse 3 said, in number 16, and they gathered themselves
to gather against Moses and against Aaron, Said unto them you take
too much upon you Seeing all the congregation a holy which
is true. The congregation is holy Every
one of them and the Lord is among all of them and that's true.
Lord is among all of them They're all his people Wherefore then
lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the Lord now
that seems to indicate that the only problem is was that these
men, and it says in verse 2, they were princes of Israel,
famous in the congregation, men of renown. And if that is the
only problem, if that's the only sin, then the judgment did not
fit the crime at all. It did not fit. It did not fit
the crime. It was too harsh, too severe. But that was not the only problem. What these men were doing, they
were resenting and rejecting the Lord Jesus Christ as the
only high priest of his people. You say, where do you get that?
Well, back in the Old Testament, you know, Christ is our high
priest. We have one high priest. We have
one prophet who reveals God. We have one high priest who offers
the atonement and the sacrifice. who represents us with the Father,
who offers His blood, not the blood of an animal, a bull or
a goat or a heifer, but His own blood, who puts His blood on
the mercy seat, who is our one Mediator, the one God and one
Mediator between God and men. Back in the Old Testament, our
Lord was careful, the God of heaven was careful to protect
that particular type and to present that picture as it is. So he
appointed one high priest. There was one great high priest.
Avon was the high priest. Avon was the type of Christ.
Avon was the only one who was permitted to offer the atonement. Avon was the only one who was
permitted to take the censer and burn the incense which represented
the blood of Christ. Avon was the one that God chose,
the one that God picked out, the one that God appointed. These
high priests did not take that office upon themselves, but were
appointed of God. And Aaron, Moses, was the prophet. You'll find throughout the Old
Testament, no one man ever held all three offices, prophet, priest,
and king. Moses was the prophet, Aaron
was the priest. And when Aaron, Moses couldn't
offer a sacrifice, King Saul, that was one of the problems
he had. You remember Samuel came to him and said, what have you
done? He said, well, you weren't here, Samuel, and I didn't want
to go into battle without offering a blood sacrifice, so I offered
a sacrifice. And Samuel said, it's better
to obey than to sacrifice. You've offended the Holy God.
You've breached your position. You've taken my place. And it's
not your place. And what these men were doing
here, what Korah and Dathan and Abiram were doing, They were
assuming the place of high priest. They were saying, Aaron, we don't
need you to represent us to God. We don't need you to offer the
atonement. We don't need you to come before
God and offer the sacrifice for us, and to plead for us, and
to pray for us, and to make the intercession for us. God is among
all of us. We're all holy unto the Lord,
all the congregation. Look at verse 10, and this is
what Moses charges them with. He says in verse 9 that God's
blessed you men, Is it a small thing to you that God separated
you from the congregation to bring you near to himself, to
do service in the tabernacle, to stand before the congregation,
to minister to them? You're important men. God's used
you. That's true. God's blessed you. And he hath
brought thee near to him, and all thy brethren, the sons of
Levi, with thee. Now do you seek the priesthood
also? There's the key right there.
Is this what you're doing? You're not satisfied to minister
where God's put you, to be a partaker of God's blessings with which
he's blessed you? You want the priesthood also?
Now look at verse 40. It gives us another key. And
when God had consumed all these men, when God had destroyed every
one of them for violating that principle of substitution on
the part of Christ, that principle of the great high priest, that
type of our Savior, when God had destroyed them all, and burned
up all that belonged to them. He said, take the censers which
they used to burn incense. They were offered unto the Lord,
that makes them hallowed. And you take it and put it on
the altar, this gold, to be a memorial, verse 40, unto the children of
Israel, that no stranger, which is not of the seed of Abraham,
come near to offer an atonement, a sacrifice, an incense before
the Lord. You see, that's the key to it.
So it's not that just these men rose up and rebelled against
Moses' leadership and Moses' authority. That was part of it,
but that was not the That was not the heart of the thing. That
was not the essence of this great sin. This sin was punished with
harshness and severity as all men shall be punished who reject
Christ, as all men shall be punished who try to bypass the Mediator,
as all men will be destroyed who resent and who reject Christ
as the Great High Priest. Turn to Romans chapter 10. Now
this is what's going on today. In Romans the 10th chapter, the
same thing of which Israel was guilty in the days of Paul. He
says in Romans 10 verse 1, Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer
to God for Israel is that they might be saved. For I bear them
record, they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
For they, being ignorant of God's righteousness, of God's substitution,
of God's sacrifice, of Christ's position, and going about to
establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves
unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the
lawful righteousness to everyone that believeth. This destroyed
Cain. Abel brought the blood sacrifice,
submitting to Christ, looking to Christ, typifying Christ. Cain brought the fruit of the
fields, a product of his own hand. I don't need Christ. I don't need the Mediator. I
don't need the one Redeemer. I have a zeal for God. I have
a dedication to God. I have a consecration to God.
I'll come before God and stand on my own feet and bring my own
offering. That's what happened to these
men right here. When they rejected Aaron, they rejected Christ.
When they rejected the high priest, they rejected the high priest
of which this man was a type. When they rejected Aaron's atonement,
they rejected Christ's atonement. When they rejected that one mediator
whom God had ordained, whom God had appointed, whom God had set
apart, And said, this is the mediator, this is the atonement.
And Christ took not this office upon himself. You turn over to
the book of Hebrews. Now, I don't often do this without
jotting down where the scripture is, and I may have a little trouble
finding it, but over here in the book of Hebrews, I believe
it's chapter 5. That's it, chapter 5, verse 1. Now I want you to look at this.
I want you to see the severity of this crime, of this sin, and
I want to bring it to this present day. And God will deal justice
severely with you and I if we reject Christ. God will deal
justice severely with you and with me if we bypass the Son
of God. In Hebrews 5 verse 1, every high
priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining
to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sin.
who can have compassion on the ignorant and on them that are
out of the way, for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity. And by reason hereof he ought,
as for the people, so also for himself to offer for sin. And no man taketh this honor
unto himself. But he that's called of God,
as was Aaron. So also Christ glorified not
himself to be made an high priest, but he that said unto him, Thou
art my son today, have I begotten thee. As he saith also in another
place, Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.
The one who said that is the one who made him our priest. And I'll tell you, when people,
even the mother of our Lord, Mary, people who put her in that
position are in for the same judgment that these men receive
in Numbers 16, the same destruction. People who put their religion
or their profession or anything else in the place of Christ,
to bypass the one high priest, to bypass the one atonement,
To turn away from and reject the one Redeemer is to bring
upon yourself the wrath and judgment and anger of a holy God, because
to Him Christ is the most precious. Christ is His beloved. And that's
the reason Paul said in Galatians 1, Paul was tolerant with a lot
of things. He was tolerant with a lot of
things, but the Apostle Paul was totally intolerant with those
who preach another gospel. He said, though we or an angel
from heaven preach any other gospel, the gospel of sacrifice,
of substitution of Christ, let him be accursed. Now let's turn back to number
16. So this is the problem. Moses said to these men, would
you take the priesthood also? Sure, God has honored you, and
God has blessed you, and God has made you leaders, and God
has revealed Himself to you. But God Almighty has appointed
a priest for the rich and for the poor, and for the learned
and for the ignorant, for the important and the unimportant,
the black and the white. It's the same priest. You can't
have the priesthood. You can't come to God without
Him. And so God sent An earthquake just opened up the ground and
swallowed these people. Barnard used to say they went
to hell with their shoes on. And the pit closed up and then
God sent fire from heaven and consumed 250 men of renown, great
men of the congregation, because of their belittlement of the
priest, because of their indifference towards the authority of Abram
and whom he represented. Well, you know, you would think
that this incident would have a lasting effect. You sitting
here tonight, you say, well, that's clear to me. I don't see
how it can be any clearer. I'm glad to have Christ. My soul
and my heart and my mind and my strength and all my being
looks to Christ. I'm unworthy. I don't want the
priesthood. I want Christ to be my representative,
my mediator. Who am I that I should even have
that privilege? I want to enter into the Holy
of Holies through the blood of Christ and His blood alone. I
don't want any other way. On Christ the solid rock I stand,
all other ground is sinking sand. You would think that that's what
the people would see as they observe this, but not so. Not
so, look at verse 41. And on the next day, after all
this took place, after God gave them such a powerful and severe
object lesson. This one sacrifice, this one
priest, this one mediator is the only way to God. After he
revealed to them that severe object lesson, on the next day
they gathered again against Moses and against Abraham saying, you've
killed the people of God. You've done it. God didn't do
that, you did it. Moses, the miracle worker, has
killed the people of God. And it came to pass when the
congregation was gathered against Moses and against Aaron. Now,
my friends, this reveals the total blindness of human nature.
Several nights ago someone was telling me about this movie,
In Search of Noah's Ark. And I made this statement. They
could find that ark, They could take pictures of it, it could
identically fit the description that's written in the Word of
God, and it wouldn't change the thoughts, or the minds, or the
hearts, or the lives of one single person toward God. And they can
find Dead Sea Scrolls, which they have found, they can find
Scripture that was written by the hand of Isaiah himself, And
Jeremiah himself, they could find scripture that was written
by Paul himself in his own handwriting, and it would be ineffective to
changing the opinion of one single person about the Lord Jesus Christ. And I can show you that. Turn
to John chapter 5. The Lord himself came down here
and ministered to them. God Himself in human flesh. And He gave sight to the blind,
and hearing to the deaf, and strength to the lame, and raised
the dead. Did it make anybody believe on
Him? Why, even the Pharisees said, you've got to be a man
who's come from God. No man could do the miracles.
You do except God be with him. And they're the ones that called
for His death. While the people said, this is no ordinary man,
he speaks with authority. And yet they cried, let him be
crucified. He said in John chapter 5, listen, verse 33, you sent
to John, he bear witness to the truth. Even King Herod was impressed
by the ministry of John. He went out to hear him. He was
a burning and a shining light. And you were willing for a season
to rejoice in that light, but only for a season. They rejected
the prophets. And then he said, I have greater
witness than that of John, for the works which the Father giveth
me to finish, the same works that I do bear witness of me,
but they rejected the works. And then he said, verse 37, the
Father himself which hath sent me hath borne witness of me.
This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. Don't you
know that that word spread throughout the whole world? He raised Lazarus from the dead. You have not his word abiding
in you, for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. Search the
Scriptures, in them ye think ye have eternal life, and they
are they which testify of me. Old Herod sent for the wise men,
and said, Where is this king of the Jews supposed to be born?
And they looked in the Scripture, and they said, In Bethlehem.
That's right. And he was born in Bethlehem,
but they rejected him. Look at verse 43, I am come in
my Father's name, and you receive me not. If another shall come
in his own name, him you will receive. The rich man in hell said this,
listen, he said, Father Abraham, send Lazarus that he may dip
his finger in water and touch my tongue. I'm tormented in this
flame. Abraham said son remember that thou in thy lifetime had
the good things and last with evil things now. He's comforting
thou art tormented But father Abraham send Lazarus back to
the earth I have five brethren in my father's house that he
might witness to them Abraham said Your five brothers have
the Word of God Moses and the prophets. That's the Word of
God Nay father Abraham, but if one went to them from the dead
they would believe now listen Abraham said If they receive
not the word of God, they will not believe, though one rose
from the dead. And that's true. Oh, it would
astound them, it would amaze them, it would amuse them, but
it would not convert them. The only agent in the new birth
and conversion is the Holy Spirit, not dead men who are walking
around, not scripture that is found in caves and bottles, not
the blind seeing and the lame walking and the dead rising.
The only one who can give the light of the glory of God in
the face of Christ Jesus to the heart of a sinner is the Holy
Spirit. It comes by revelation. It does
not come by education. It does not come by amazement
and miracles. It comes by revelation. And these
people here, they saw all of this. They saw the Red Sea part.
They saw the plagues of Egypt. They saw God bring judgment upon
Korah and Nathan and Abiram and all their gang. They saw all
that. And then on the very next day, they're murmuring again,
clenching their fists, shaking their fists in the face of Moses,
doing the same thing. And God, Moses said, verse 46,
Moses said, and God's judgment was coming down upon Israel,
and Moses said to Aaron, take a censer, you're the high priest,
I can't do it, you take a censer, and put fire therein from off
the altar, be sure you get it from the right place. Off the
altar. Not like your sons that offered
strange fire and God killed them, but get it off the altar. and
put on incense, which represents the blood of Christ, and go quickly
unto the congregation, and make an atonement for them, for there
is wrath gone out from God, the plague is begun." And Aaron,
then over a hundred years old, can't you see that? There are
all those multiplied thousands of people out there, and Moses
and Aaron standing here, and the cloud of God's presence and
God's judgment and God's wrath begins to come upon the people,
and they begin to fall by rows. 14,700 of them, half the population
of Ashland, were falling just by rows of them, falling under
God's wrath, falling under the plague. And Aaron, Moses said,
Aaron, run, get a censer, put the fire on it from off the altar,
put on the incense, and get down there among the people and offer
an atonement for them, the plague is begun. And Aaron did as Moses
commanded. He ran into the midst of the
congregation, and behold, the plague was begun among the people,
and he put on incense and made an atonement. And he stood between
the dead and the living, and he waved that censer. standing
out there before God's wrath, before the rolling cloud of God's
judgment, and he stood out there and waved that incense and waved
that atonement and waved that censer which represents the blood
of Christ. And the plague stopped. And the plague stopped. Now, there's a lesson to learn
here, and the lesson that we need to learn, I think, will
be learned better by looking at Aaron in a five-fold character. As he appears in each character,
he represents our Lord Jesus Christ. You already get the picture
of Christ. You already get it. But let's
look at these five things briefly. First of all, I see Aaron, the
lover of the people. Now, they certainly didn't love
him. No, they didn't. The whole plot was against him
when the thing started back here in verse 1. The whole plot was
against Abraham and against Moses. They didn't love him. They sought
to strip him of his office. They sought to strip him of his
authority. They sought to take it upon themselves. They didn't love him. They hated
him. But he loved them. He loved them. And thoughtless
of his own danger, there was the wrath of God, the judgment
of God, just mowing these people down like ants. They were falling
under the plague. God was moving. He said, Moses,
stand back. Aaron, stand back. I'll destroy
this whole congregation. And He was moving just the wrath
of God, the judgment of God, moving right through these people.
And Aaron, thoughtless of his own danger, indifferent to his
own safety, Because he loved the people in the face of God's
wrath, he ran right down in the middle of them and identified
himself with them. And I'll tell you, that's what
our Lord Jesus Christ did. In the Garden of Eden, our parents
tried to take his authority. They said, we'll be like God
ourselves. At the Tower of Babel, they would
climb to heaven and take it by force. at the cross of Calvary,
they cried, we will not have this man reign over us. And yet,
knowing all of that, our Lord Jesus Christ loved us, here in
His love. Not that we loved Him, He loved
us. And He laid aside the glory of
heaven and came down to this earth, which was under God's
plague and which was under God's wrath. and which was under God's
judgment and was falling in death. And he was numbered with the
transgressors. He was identified with them before
the wrath of his Father. He came down right in the middle
of the people and became one of them. He loved us. Greater
love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his
friends. Love sent my Savior to die in my stead. Why should
he love me so? Meekly to Calvary's cross he
was led. Why should he love me so? Nails
pierced his hands and his feet for my sin. Why should he love
me so? He suffered sore my salvation
to win. Why should he love me so? Oh, how he agonized there in
my place. Why should he love me so? Nothing
withholding, nothing withholding my sin to erase. Why should he
love me so? Secondly, I see Aaron, the high
priest. Aaron loved the people, and Aaron
was the high priest. Now the people had sinned greatly.
They'd murmured, they'd rebelled, they'd rejected God's way, they'd
rebelled against God's atonement, and God Almighty's wrath cannot
be lifted without a suitable atonement, a sacrifice. So Aaron,
watch him now, He didn't run down there before the wrath of
God with an empty plea. Wait a minute, Lord. Now, God,
you love. You love everybody, don't you? Remember, you love
everybody. And these people, I know they're wrong, but Lord,
they got good hearts. Deep down inside, they're good
people. Now, Lord, don't have mercy. Don't destroy all of them. He
didn't run down there and plead, Lord, they followed you for years,
their previous works, and Lord, they left Egypt and they're out
here at your leadership, and they even didn't promise, Lord,
we promise from now on we're going to do better. We're not
going to murmur anymore, and if you just stop it right here,
we won't do this anymore. No, sir. But he brought, as the
high priest, and held up God's ordained sacrifice. a suitable
atonement. Moses said, Aaron, go down there
and get the fire off the altar and the incense and get the censer. Don't you run down there empty-handed.
Don't you run down there before God's wrath. You can't stop the
plague, but Christ can. You can't stop the wrath of God,
but Christ can. All of the works and the deeds
of men cannot stop God's judgment, but Christ can. So Aaron took
the censer and he waived that atonement. And he waved that
atonement, and the Scripture says it stopped right there.
It wouldn't go any further. Why will men try to face God's
just righteousness and God's holy law with the flimsy pleas
of compassion and works and deeds and promises and decisions and
religion and all of these things, when all they have to plead is
the blood of Christ? That's what you said the other
night, plead the blood. That's all. When judgment comes,
when wrath comes, when God's anger is turned against the sons
of men, just hold up the atonement. Plead the blood. And that's what
they even did. That's what the priests did.
That's what our Lord did for us. Turn to Hebrews 9. You've
got to see this right here. This is the point. Hebrews 9,
if you will, look at verse 11 and 12 of Hebrews 9. Hebrews 9, 11. But Christ being
come, a high priest of good things to come by a greater and more
perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not
of this building. Verse 12, neither by the blood of goats and calves,
but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place,
having obtained eternal redemption for us. See that high priest? There he is. Here's the wrath
of God. The people are dying, falling.
There's Ava, and he grabs the censer. He grabs the fire. He
grabs the incense. He puts it on the censer. He
runs down right in the face of God's wrath. And the great high
priest, anointed by God himself, he doesn't say a word. He doesn't
plead promises, decisions, vows. He doesn't say, Lord, if you'll
heal Susie, I'll serve you the rest of my life. If you'll stop
the plague, we promise to do better. No, sir. He waved the
atonement. Here it is. And the scripture
says it stopped right there. All right, watch Aaron the Mediator,
thirdly, the Mediator. The plague was dropping the people
like ants. Wave after wave after wave of
the people were falling, 14,700 of them. And Aaron stepped between
the wrath of God and the people to waive the atonement and to
plead for them. And this is what he's saying.
He didn't say a word, but this is what the atonement is saying. Judgment, wrath, you must march
over me and over my sacrifice to get to the people. Death,
judgment, you're going to have to smite God's high priest if
you go any further. And that's what the Lord Jesus
Christ did in his sacrifice and in his offering. He stood out
there before the judgment of God, which we deserved. I'm not
questioning. These people deserved it. They
ought to have been destroyed. We should too. We deserve God's
wrath. We deserve death. But God, but
Christ's sacrifice says this, eternal death, righteous judgment,
you've got to despise my blood, you've got to destroy and walk
over me. to get to my people. And the
reason the plague is stopped is because the law of God is
satisfied with his obedience, and the law of God is satisfied
with his sacrifice, and the law of God is satisfied with his
sin offering with Christ and Christ alone. Christ the Mediator. Now, what will you plead for
your deliverance from judgment? Will you waive your baptism?
Will you waive your church membership? Will you waive your tithes and
offerings? Will you go back to the time as a little baby that
somebody held you in their arms and the priest or the minister
put a little water on your forehead? Is that what you're going to
plead when that flood of God's wrath comes down upon your soul? Is that what you're going to
plead? God have mercy on your soul, and he won't. You will
find yourself in the same condition as these folks right here. Without
the shedding of blood, there's no remission. No remission. So in my hands,
no price I bring, simply the cross of Christ I cling. Could
my tears forever flow? Could my zeal no respite know? These for sin cannot atone. Christ
must save and Christ alone. That's what the picture is throughout
this whole Bible. It's Christ or hell. It's Christ
or judgment. And it's not just the Christ
of Bethlehem's manger, it's the Christ of the cross. It's the
blood. He put the blood on the mercy
seat and obtained eternal redemption. He obtained pardon. Stop the
play. All right, look at Aaron the
Savior, one other character here. How do you think these people
felt about Aaron after this? Well, I don't know, but I'll
tell you this, if they had any wisdom at all, no voice of praise
could be loud enough or long enough. for what he had done
for the people. Aaron was the only Savior. Moses
could pray for him, but Moses couldn't help him. Moses couldn't
come out there and stop that plague. No way. It had to be
Aaron. And it had to be Aaron with the
sacrifice. It had to be Aaron with the atonement. It had to
be Aaron with the incense. It had to be Aaron with the fire
of the altar. It had to be Aaron coming in God's way. That's the
reason it says Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures.
He was buried and rose again according to the Scriptures.
He ascended to the right hand of God and intercedes for us
according to the Scriptures. It's God's way or no way. When I see the blood, He said,
I'll pass over you. And Aaron was the unaided Savior. He stood out there alone, all
alone. And our Lord Jesus Christ, the
Scripture says, walked the winepress of God's wrath alone. In the garden he prayed alone. In the hall of justice he stood
alone. On the cross of Calvary he died
alone. In the holy place, the mercy
seat of glory, he came with his blood alone. No blood of noble martyrs entered
that stream. The royal bath in which black
souls are washed white from all of their guilt and their sins
is drawn from the veins of Immanuel, God's son. There is a fountain
filled with blood drawn from Jesus veins, and sinners plunge
beneath that flood, lose all their guilty stains. And Aaron
was not only the only Savior and the unaided Savior, as Christ
is, but he was the all-sufficient Savior, for the judgment of God
came to Aaron's feet and stopped. Death had overcome the old and
the young. Death had overcome the wise and
the unwise. Death had overcome the religious
and the profane, the moral and the immoral, the mighty and the
weak, but death couldn't overcome Aaron's atonement. Now you think
about that. And there's not a person in this
building or in this city or in this state or in this world that
has any power whatsoever to stay the hand of God's wrath and judgment. But there is one who can, and
he's at the right hand of the Father. I'll tell you, I hope
he knows me. I hope he pleads for me. I hope
he prays for me. I hope he died for me. I hope he stands, look at the
last, Aaron the great divider. It says here, and Aaron stood
between the dead and the living. Out there in front of him were
the dead. Whoever they were and whoever they had been, they were
now just dead. Dead rebels, dead murmurers,
dead sinners. Behind him were the living, equally
guilty, equally deserving of God's wrath, equally sinful.
But between the dead and the living stood the atoned. Between
the dead and the living stood the Christ. Between the dead
and the living stood the cross. Not the Baptist church, the cross. Not the doctrine, the theology,
the decision, the cross. And that's all that separates
the dead and the living today is the cross. That's so. That old high priest, Ava, at
a hundred years old, He had made as many mistakes as anybody else.
He was the one that said, blame the flame. You remember the message?
He said, I just threw that gold in there and that calf came out.
But he was God's high priest. And he stood there between the
dead and the living. And he made an atonement for
the living. Because none of those dead people got up. They stayed
dead. That's what it says over here.
They stayed dead. 14,700 of them. But the rest of them lived because
of the atonement. Brethren, that's my message.
That's our message. That's our ministry. That's our
ministry. I don't know anything else to
preach. I don't know anything else to plead. I don't know anything
else for us to believe in. I don't know any other foundation
to build on. We're equally guilty, we're equally sinful, we're equally
deserving of God's wrath, but the only thing I know that stands
between us and judgment and us and death and us and condemnation
is the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. But thank God it's an
effectual sacrifice, for the scripture says, when Aaron waived
that atonement, The wrath of God stopped right there. The
plague stopped right there. It couldn't get past the Savior.
And when you're filled with doubts and fears and questioning your
position or relationship with Christ, plead the blood. Plead the blood. Ronnie, you
come lead us in a closing hymn, if you will.
