Gospel—Al Coleman
DISCLAIMER: The following has been auto-transcribed. We hope it will help you to find the section of this audio file you are looking for.
Return in our Bibles first of all to Acts chapter 17. Acts chapter 17.
Acts chapter 17 and verse 30.
And the times of this ignorance God.
Winter. But now command us all men everywhere to repent, because he hath appointed a day in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained.
Whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he raised him from the dead.
Turn to the Book of Ezekiel.
Chapter 33.
Ezekiel, chapter 33.
The last three words of verse 3.
Form the people.
Turn the page verse 7.
The last four words of verse 7 warn them from me.
Turn to Matthew, Chapter 11.
Verse 16 Fell Wherein to shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the markets and calling to their fellows, and saying, We have piped unto you, and you have not danced. We have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.
That.
The responsibility for the Gospel.
Tonight the Lord has laid heavily upon my shoulders a gospel of warning. A gospel of warning.
And as a view, uh, especially you young fellers here sitting in the front row.
And reminded of a very solemn thing that happened not too long ago in Vancouver.
I got called to the emergency ward of the Royal Columbian Hospital ICU ward.
And we were.
I went with my uncle.
And we were to find out what was wrong with this young man.
We went into the ward after much, uh, rigmarole of getting into the ICU ward.
And we saw him, this young man who was wired.
He had oxygen mask.
He had every thinkable instrument on him.
He was half propped up in bed.
His eyes rolled. He was heavily sedated. Morphine.
He could barely talk. He was under oxygen. He talked to us through an oxygen mask.
And dairy sauce.
This young man.
Was brought up in a Christian home under the sound of the gospel. Heard the gospel many times. Godly Christian parents.
12 hours later, that young man was in eternity.
He was the most awful sight that I had ever seen and I hope I never want to see another site like him.
00:05:01
I don't know where that young man went to heaven or hell.
But you know.
Dear ones, tonight, do you have the opportunity here tonight to accept Christ as your Savior? What an opportunity do you have tonight if you're still in your sins. So I want to give this warning from the Word of God.
Solemn thing to step out of this world and in to a lost eternity.
So let's think that well known gospel hymn is 102. But I guess it's #25 In our gospel hymn sheets, life at best is very brief, like the falling of a leaf, like the binding of a sheath. Being time fleeting, days are telling fast that the dye will soon be cast and the fatal line be passed. Be in kindness.
The fourth verse Sinner, heed the warning voice.
Thank the Lord your happy choice, then all heaven will rejoice Be in time #25.
Lipids.
Believe in his daily turn out of his back and I can put all that fulfillment fulfilled in six hours.
Yeah, it's it's, it's still a bottle of their weight. You may find no clothes and get it.
And your pride he just to let it.
Mm-hmm. Uh.
Uh-huh. I mean, maybe, maybe $500.
Here in the arms of chains as far as some of the music against my.
Oh I pray you have to go there for a day of life to grow.
And your pride must all be lost and.
Mm-hmm.
And there is a warning body and the water is not high face darkness and having them on the House in the middle of the trees, go home that way it is ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
I don't know why, I can't say. It's been a lot of fun and that's the name of the product.
00:10:01
Umm, and starting to find a happy Easter. Uh-huh.
Mm-hmm. Let me see if you can get in front of us. Why don't, I don't know why that's the reason that's all you're seeing is, uh.
The the the way you don't know anybody, follow up and get away.
90509383 if you need anything else umm.
Shall we pray?
Turn to.
Uh, uh, Jeremiah 52. Jeremiah 52.
I want to say that one of the most favorite books that I love to preach the gospel from is the book of Jeremiah. And Jeremiah was a tremendous inspiration to me. I think of Jeremiah as the weeping prophet and how he kept on preaching and kept on preaching and kept on preaching the same thing over and over again. What an inspiration is. And so may we never tire of this wonderful message.
That we, that we, that we can proclaim and.
Let's go to the very end of Jeremiah, the very last chapter, and here we find the very first verse. Zedekiah was one in 20 years old when he began to reign, and he reigned 11 years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hammetto, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libna, And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord.
According to all Jehoiakim had done, for through the anger of the Lord it came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, till he cast them out of his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon. And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in an attempt month, in the 10th day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came he and all his army against Jerusalem, and pitched against it, and built forts against it round about.
So the city was besieged on to the 11Th year of King Zedekiah, and in the fourth month and the 9th month day of the month, the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land. Then the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled and went forth out of the city by night by way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the King's garden. Now the Chaldeans were by the city roundabout.
And they went by the way of the plain, But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho. And all his army was scattered from him. And they took the king, and carried him up under the king of Babylon to Revlon in the land of Hamath, where he gave judgment upon him. And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes.
He slew also the Princess of Judah in Ribla, and he put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and the king of Babylon bound him and chains, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison till a day of his death.
Now turn over to the next chapter, Lamentations of Jeremiah.
The weeping prophet weeping for the condition for the state of Israel and Judah.
Look at the very first word that we have here in the in Lamentations of Jeremiah, and we have this word How, how, how did the city sit solitary that was once full of people? How would she become a widow?
Well dear ones, we have just, uh, read the story of Zedekiah of how Nebuchadnezzar's army came and besieged the the city of Jerusalem for 1 1/2 years. Nebuchadnezzar's army was was up against the the city of Jerusalem and it finally broke up and we find of how Zedekiah tried to escape, but he was caught by Nebuchadnezzar's army and carried away captive.
Into Babylon and his eyes were plucked out. His eyes were plucked out. That was the judgment that was upon Azekiah. Had Zedekiah heard what Jeremiah had told him? Yes, he had. He had. And dear one, tonight you have heard the gospel. Yes, you have. Each one of here in this room have heard the gospel, just as that young man.
00:15:13
That I just told you about. Had heard the gospel over and over again.
In.
It had been.
Brought up in a Christian home of gathered Saints. And that young man died and I know not where. And he died of the worst disease that this world has ever known because of his what lifestyle.
And so the word, the gospel gives warning. Tonight. Zechaiah had a warning. And so we find and I and I, and I'd like to think of it this way tonight.
If the curtains could be drawn tonight, I had in time, you know, we do have it in the 16th chapter of Luke of how the rich man and Lazarus, and it says in hell. He lifted up his eyes.
Being in torment, the curtain was drawn aside to look in to that awful scene, that God does not want to send one person there. He says, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked would turn from his evil way. Then he says, turn ye, turn ye, for why will ye die? It's the heart of God pleading for this world tonight. He's not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
It's God's heart of love lingering over this world and how wonderful it is that He's lengthened out the day of grace and to this very day. Here we are. What is it? July the 8th, 1996. The gospel has been going forth Lord's day after Lord's day, day after day.
Men have been presented with the gospel, God be seeking man refusing, but one day, just as we heard last night.
The door will be shut forever.
And many there will be that say Lord, Lord, open to us. And you'll have to say, depart from me, for I never knew you. I never knew you. Oh, but if you're in Christ tonight, if you know the Lord Jesus Christ is your own personal savior, if your sins are all washed away in the precious blood of the Lord Jesus, you're safe for all eternity.
You can calmly face the future when the blood is on the door. The blood of Jesus Christ, God's Son, cleanseth us from all sins. And so we find here this awful scene. Jerusalem completely ravaged the the, the population of Jerusalem was completely decimated. And you know, that's just exactly what is going to happen to this world after the church is taken home.
This world will be decimated.
How does the city sit solitary that was once full of people because they didn't listen to what God had to say to them. And here was Jeremiah, the preteen Jeremiah who preached this message over and over and over again. And you know, you go to the very first chapter and I challenge you young boys here to take up the book of Jeremiah and read his read what he did.
And read what God told him to do. You know, when in the first chapter he says I am but a child, I can't do this. But you know, God gave Jeremiah the strength and he and he and he told the children of Israel. He said judgment is coming, judgment is coming and judgment is coming because we read that verse. It says God now commandeth all men everywhere to repent because he hath appointed a day.
And that which you will judge this world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained. And so we find here, uh, in the, uh, 36th chapter of Jeremiah, we'll find there that, uh, Jeremiah was told to, uh, uh, take a role of a book and, uh, and, and this write the words that I told you.
Write the words and it was passed from one to another, and it finally came to the king.
00:20:06
And can't you see the king there, there he is sitting there in his winter house and he's enjoying, I say the pleasures of sin for a season. And many there are that are like that, enjoying the pleasures of seeing first season very comfortable in this world. And you know, that's what the God of this world wants to do. He wants you to make comfortable in this world and forget all about God. You know, it says in Psalm chapter 10, it says.
God is not in all their thoughts. No, you know, that's what the God of this world wants you to, wants to, wants you to do.
He he doesn't, he doesn't want you to think about your soul salvation. He doesn't want you to think about the Lord Jesus, just the pleasures of this world and he can present so many pleasures and in this world and and put them before you.
But Oh dear one, there's one that is bleeding for your soul tonight, it's the Lord Jesus Christ. Oh, think of it in the wonderful that God sent his beloved Son here into this world, and he went to the cross of Calvary and there to die for you and I, for four lost, perishing sinners like you. And I think of it of how that blessed One, God's beloved Son hung there. And Calvary's cross could say, Father, forgive them for they know not what they do. What?
What? What love that held Him there in that cross for you, for you, for you. Why? Because He wants your company of mine with Him in the glory. That's what He wants. He wants you in the glory with Him. You want to go? Do you want to go to that wonderful place that He's prepared for you? He says in my Father's house are many mansions. There were not. So I would have told you, I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you.
Unto myself that where I am, there ye may be All Souls. And so we find that what did what did, what did they do there when they received the role of the book. And there he is sitting there in his, in his in the winter house there sitting in his chair and the fire. Oh, nice comfortable scene. Nice comfortable scene. Oh yes, isn't that the way Satan is? Just make yourself comfortable in this world. Forget all about God.
And that's what he did. And you know what they did? They took a knife and they just put that role in the fire and burnt it up.
Fact that we don't have to worry about that anymore. We don't have to worry about that anymore. And it says they weren't even afraid. There is No Fear of God before their eyes. They weren't even afraid. What a solemn thing. Oh, no. You know, I know that each one here tonight would never take this precious book and put it in the fire. No, you wouldn't. I know you wouldn't.
Did you ever take it off and read it? Do you ever take this book off and read it and read about its wonderful author, the Lord Jesus Christ? Oh, he has wonderful things to say to a boy or a girl here tonight. Just take it up and read it any page. He's got some wonderful things to tell a boy or a girl, man or woman, to. Oh, wonderful words of life in this wonderful book that we have here. What a legacy.
Here the precious word of God that lives and abides forever, you know, did that hinder Jeremiah?
God says never mind Jeremiah, just write it again. Just write it again and you know, we have a song that we sometimes sing. Tell it again, tell it again salvation story repeat or and or until none can Save the Children of men. Nobody ever has told me before and so.
Tell it again and warn the people again of coming judgment. And you know, that's what he did. He told it again, told it again. And so we can tell it again and warn the people again tonight.
All we get in the next chapter I think is chapter 38 and you know, Jeremiah is put in a pit. They trying to get rid of Jeremiah. They were trying to stop him from preaching.
Jeremiah, be quiet. We don't want you to hear all those things. And so they put Jeremiah down in a pit and it said Jeremiah sank in the mire. Jeremiah sank in the mire, and Oh dear, 10 let's turn to it. Psalm 69.
00:25:34
Psalm 69.
Save me, O God, for the waters are coming to my soul. I think in deep mire where there is no standing. I am coming to deep waters where the floods overflow me.
Some 45 I believe it is.
Umm, no.
The all lightweaves and my bills have gone over me. Oh yeah. Psalm 42.
Psalm 42 verse 7 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy water sports all thy waves, and thy billows are gone over me. Oh, and you think of Jeremiah thinking in that pit, and it says in Jeremiah sank in the.
That pit in that mire. But all what? What is this here in Psalm 69? It's the sufferings of our blessed Lord on Calvary's cross. It says, I think in deep mire where there is no standing.
Save me, O God, where the waters are coming to my soul. I think indeed mire, where there is no standing, I'm coming to deep waters, where there is floods over to flow me. All I waste my billows are gone over me.
Oh, this is the sufferings of our blessed Lord Jesus at Calvary's cross and those 3 long dark hours and Calvary's cross when He was made thin for us in the door, our sins in His own body in the tree. Think of what He suffered there for you and me, bearing my sins in His own body on a tree, thinking of me a Calvary's cross.
To bore my sins, so that He might have my company with Him in that coming scene of glory.
He had me and you, and he has you and you, dear one, tonight, if you have him as your own personal savior. Jeremiah Sanction Mayer But here we find again that there is a man, a black man, a black man.
A wonderful place that the black man has in the word of God.
The Ethiopian eunuch and this and this. Evette Malek, the Ethiopian he was he, he, he was a eunuch too.
And you know what he did?
He was thinking about Jeremiah, say, have you thought about the Lord Jesus?
Ibad Malek, the Ethiopian, this black man, he was thinking about that man that was put it down in a pit and he wanted to be identified with that man was was put down in the pit. Have you identified yourself with the Lord Jesus Christ, that man that was sunk indeed Mire, God's beloved son, have you identified yourself with him and the holy spotless Lamb of God? And So what did Yvette Malik, the Ethiopian do? He got all cast clothes and rotten rice and he said.
Jeremiah down there in that pit, he looked down there in that pit at Jeremiah and he said, Jeremiah, you put all put these under your armpits and it says they drew Jeremiah as part of that pit. And you know what it says in the next chapter? It says, uh, I better read it. Uh, it'd be 30.
Umm, 30.
39.
What a wonderful thing this is what God said to be ebed men like the Israel. I think this is sweet, this is beautiful. Could God say this of you?
Verse 16 of chapter 39.
Go speak to Yvette Melody Ethiopian, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts. But God of Israel, behold, I will bring my words upon this city for evil and not for good, and they shall be accomplished in that day before the but I will deliver the in that day, saith the Lord. What day was that?
00:30:19
That coming day when judgment was to fall upon the nation of Israel, that we read off in chapter 52, that Zedekiah never escaped. But who escaped?
Ebed Malek the Ethiopian. And it says here for I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be a prey unto thee, because thou put has put thy trust in me, saith the Lord. Have you, dear young friend, here tonight I'm speaking to you.
Dear young ones, have you put your faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ as your own personal Savior? Do you know Him personally as your Lord and Savior, as Lord of your life, that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in thine heart, that God hath raised him from the dead?
Thou shall be saved. I think that's so beautiful. Because God doesn't ask you to do something complicated to get saved. No, he doesn't. Because everything has been done for you. At Calvary's Trust. It is finished. Yes, indeed. Finished. Every Jot Center. This is all you need. Tell me, is it not simply it says to a young boy so many years ago, So many years ago.
The song was this. It was number 10 in in our Echo, the great hymn book. It only says a simple thing, believe and live, believe and live. And I know as a young man, you know, I was on into manhood before I accepted Christ as my Savior.
And those were wasted years in my life. Wasted years, and I'll repeat that again, wasted years in my life.
Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth. Behold, now is the accepted time, the old. Now is a day, a day of salvation. God is offering man salvation full and free tonight, so whosoever will.
But that one condition.
Now, now, you may not have a better opportunity than tonight, tonight, tonight, he says. Boast not thyself up tomorrow, for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
And he wants you to come tonight, right now, right now.
And so years ago, there was a little boy that sat in a gospel meeting. Tennessee.
And sat in many gospel meetings, just like you. Many, many gospel meetings. I went out the door each time. Unsafe. That's sad, isn't it? That's sad. Those were wasted years. Wasted years. Oh, I warned you, dear young boys and girls. God, time is now. You know, my brother, when we were young, brought up in a Christian home.
A godly parents. I thank God many, many times for my father.
For my mother.
I thank God many times my father was a very godly man. Some most of you didn't know.
But he's home with the Lord now.
And I thank God for him. You ever thank God for your parents?
For the word of God that you have opened before us, that every morning that your dad opens before you, but you know you're responsible for what you know, you're responsible for what you hear. And God, if you go out of this room and say tonight God will re hold your responsible for it. Perhaps you'll say that you were in that gospel meeting on July 8th, 1996 and you went out of the door unsafe. You heard the gospel.
00:35:13
He'll hold you responsible. Solemn, isn't it?
Zedekiah was held responsible. His eyes were plucked out. What an awful judgment was and was pronounced on Jeremiah. And it says, what shall he hand be of those that obey not the gospel of Christ. What shall he end be in the lake of fire for all eternity. Does God want to send you there? No, he doesn't. No, he doesn't want to send one boy or girl here tonight, But you know he's got no other choice if you don't accept him as your Savior. No, to the Lord Jesus.
Tonight, come.
You know, Zedekiah had a chance. Zedekiah had many chances. I believe it's in, uh, chapter 30. I guess I got my chapters a little bit mixed up, but that's all right. But in what in, I think it was in chapter 37, Jed, Zedekiah comes to Jeremiah and he says, Jeremiah, come here, come here. I want to talk to you. I want to talk to you privately. And he says, is there a message from God for me?
Is there a message? Is there a message? And he thought that maybe Jeremiah will make changes too, and he might change the message and he might say, oh, no, you're all right. You're all right. There's no adjustment coming. Uh, but I'm not, it's not going to come anymore.
You think that's what Jeremiah said? No, he said no faithfully. He said yes. He says judgment is coming and you're going to be carried away captive into Babylon. And that's just exactly what happened in chapter 52. Was carried away captive and his eyes were plucked out and then the street of Jerusalem were completely decimated of people.
And what a solemn thing for this world and what is going to happen to this world in this coming day, You know, that it could start tomorrow. Perhaps the Lord would come tonight. The Lord would come tonight. Think of it wonderful you waiting for that time to, for the Lord to come. You know, it's an inspiration to me. I go and visit my uncle all the time. He's in the rest home in, in, uh, Richmond. He's only about three blocks from me and I go down there. He's 96 years old.
A dear godly thing. I, I've, I've, I've been under here the sound of his word and we've been richly blessed in Vancouver by his ministry down through the earth. A dear godly thing. And, you know, he just says, I just want to go home. I just want to go home. And, you know, that's an inspiration to me. Oh, have we got the same desire? Do we just want to go home? I do. I do.
It's all very well just to say it. Oh I, I, I hope the Lord comes tonight. But do we really miss?
Do we really mean it? Are we like Uncle Norman? I just wanna go home, you know, to be done with this world. To be done with this world, neither the presence of our blessed Lord. Think of it. To spend an eternity with that Blessed One there to praise and to thank and to bow at His feet. Give Him the Thanksgiving and praise of our hearts that so weak and so feeble in this thing that in the coming day one loud, eternal burst of praise to Him, the one who alone art worthy. Well, think of it.
How wonderful. It's just before us. Do we really lay hold? Do we really grasp that? Just to be in His presence? That's very nice. Think of it, we might be there at home in the glory tonight. Oh, how wonderful.
You wanna be there, You know, you can't come with all your sins on you. You can't. I was telling them last week in the gospel, you know, hundreds of children, that we had the opportunity of presenting the gospel to a Newfoundland, Hundreds of children. They had the gospel. They heard them. Sometimes there would be a, a, a when we had a, a, a Sunday school or a hobby class, one child would come in and they'd never see them again. I had the opportunity of telling them just once.
Just once. And many of those children, they're so sweet, so, so beautiful, those children. I used to say, I wish I could just take you all in my arms and take you home to heaven with me, but I can't. You've got to come as an individual, as an individual responsibility toward God. You have sinned against God and those sins that separated you from a holy God.
00:40:13
But all thanks to the end of God. The blood of Jesus, praise God's Son, cleanseth us from all sin. Isn't that wonderful, wonderful news of the gospel? Have you received it? Have you received it? Do you know him as Lord and Savior? Is he Lord of your life you know as your own personal Savior?
Lamentations, chapter one.
Mm-hmm.
Lamentation, chapter one.
And verse 12.
Of earth that we re read so many many times, Speaking of the sufferings of our Lord Jesus Christ on Calvary's cross. Is it nothing to you?
Is it nothing to you?
Dear young boy, dear young girl here tonight, Is it nothing to you?
Is it nothing to you?
All you that pass by tonight, you're passing by. You're passing by, You're hearing the gospel, Even those people you're passing by. Is this nothing to you?
Indifferent in your soul to a God that is just yearning to save you.
Is it nothing to you? Let me tell you about this first. You know, in downtown Vancouver, I'm reminded of this first, over and over again. You go down Hastings St. and you walk down Hastings St. amongst the row of stores there, and you come to a park and then you come to the three big pillar.
At the bottom of the pillar there are re at the bottom of that pillar there's two dates 1914 to 1918, nineteen 39 to 1945. It is the remote a War Memorial for those that gave their lives in the 1St and 2nd war for the cause of freedom. And you know these these this very verse is at the top.
Is that nothing to you all ye the pass by? And so we pass by that War Memorial, umm, and, and uh, we're busy. Uh, we say, Oh yeah, that's the War Memorial for the, for the war dead. And you keep reading on going on your shopping free or whatever you're doing, indifferent, indifferent. And so he says, is it nothing to you all ye that pass by? But this is not a War Memorial. This is our blessed savior.
This is the sufferings of the Lord Jesus Christ and Calvary's Christ. He says here that nothing to you owe you that passed by, He's speaking to you, dear young boy, dear young girl, here tonight he's speaking to you. Is this nothing to you that the Lord Jesus suffered on Calvary's cross for you? He says, Behold and see. Is there any sorrow like unto my sorrow which was done unto me, where with the Lord hath afflicted me?
In the day of his fierce anger. Oh, think of it, dear one, tonight what he suffered on Calvary's cross for my sins, all my sins so great, so many.
And his blood were washed away. Oh, think of it. Is it nothing to you as you view the cross tonight? The Lord Jesus there hanging on that cross? It was for you, dear one, that he hung there on that cross for you, for you.
For you think of it, what a savior is my savior is the years. Is it yours? Is it your savior tier one tonight, pleading for your soul? Won't you come tonight?
Tomorrow may be too late. It may be too late. He's pleading for you to come. You, you. You know what? I there's no age limit to come to, to, to Christ.
A little child of seven or even three or four may enter into heaven through Christ the open door. Have you ever confessed the Lord Jesus with your little lips? Won't you come tonight?
He's pleading for you. I wanna give you one last verse before we close this first.
00:45:05
I quote at every gospel meeting I preach at. I wanna do it again tonight.
John, 737.
John 73710.
And I believe that in this chapter we have possibly a picture of this world today. Here they were, the Feast of Tabernacles. In this chapter they were celebrating. They were having a celebration here, but not according to the word of God, I believe.
Everything that man was given to do, he failed in.
And here's his feet and we're getting down to the very last day of the feast, the very last day. And think of it, here it is. This is the last meeting and the last day. And probably, and it could be the last gospel meeting. Think of it solemn, isn't it? This could be Alaska. Have you ever heard of that before? Probably you've heard it every gospel meeting you've been in. But can you be sure? Can you be sure this wouldn't be the last gospel meeting?
It says the last day, that great day of the feast.
And here's Ben tonight, feasting, feasting, having a great party, having a great time, leaving God completely out of his life. As we came down here on the freeway on #81 I was mentioning to Bruce that said Bruce, I said, look at all the RV's going down here and the, and the car trailing behind, and then all the, all the luxury and everything else going down the highway. Big 5065 seventy $1000 mobile homes. Where are they going? They're going to their vacation.
But uh, what about God? Have they left God out of their lives?
That great day of the thief. Ah, and what do we got here? Jesus, Jesus.
Is the answer to this world tonight the Lord Jesus Christ? No other answer. Christ is the only answer for this world tonight. Jesus stood and cried. Think of that. Think of the compassion of his heart as he stood there that day.
Jesus stood in Christ and today his heart is still the same, still beseeching man to come to him, He says here. Jesus stood in Christ if any man first, oh you know, that's this world.
This thirsty world in which we are living, you know, it says.
He satisfies a longing soul and filleth the hungry soul with fatness. You know there's only one person that can satisfy you.
You know, that is what finally ended me. Before I came to Christ as a young man, the world, there was nothing to satisfy me in it. I was, I was fed up with it, fed up with it.
All the pleasures of team first season.
If any man thirst, let him come to me and drink. Think of that. What a savior standing there that day. Let him come to me and dream. Oh, you don't have to come to meetings. You don't have to.
Do all kinds of other things. It's coming to a person, the Lord Jesus Christ he says in Matthew 11 I love this verse and 28 he says come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden and boy without as a young man with light heavy lady, and I will give you rest. What a Savior. I mean give rest and he gives rest.
What you know, I say this often, you haven't lived until you found Christ as your Savior. He satisfies the longing soul. What a Savior. He'll look after you and care for you and bless you every day of your life. What a savior brought into a family. The, the, the, the fellows that I that I used to come around with as a young man, I lost them. They didn't want me anymore.
00:50:05
They didn't want me anymore, but I got a whole new family, a whole new family and that wonderful and that's what you'll get a whole new family brothers and sisters in Christ. What a wonderful thing it is to know Christ is your own Savior and know that your great question of your soul salvation has settled once and for all that the Lord come tonight to be go up to be with him in the glory If we were to go into the article of death.
Hi Steven. Oh dear one, thanks. See. Are you safe tonight? If any man thirst, let him come to me and drink and drink and drink. How wonderful that is. Do you know this wonderful person? Do you know this wonderful person that we presented the United even though it's been table? Do you know him personally as Lord and Savior? If you don't really come tonight.
Tomorrow maybe.
Too late. All those first verses that we read warned the people. God now commandeth all men everywhere to repent, because He hath appointed a day in the which He will judge this world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained. Dear 1:00 tonight to go out of this room unsafe and into a lost eternity, you have nobody to blame.
But yourself behold now, now is the day of salvation. Come back from Behold the Savior at the door. He said they not, did not before, had played as long as waiting. Still do you have no other friend, So I'll open the door. He'll enter in and talk with you, and you with him #20.
