Can we take our Bibles together please?
And open to the first book in the Bible, the 1St chapter and the first verse.
Genesis chapter one and verse one.
Just read the first verse in the beginning.
God created the heaven and the earth.
I just want to make a little comment in connection with this verse.
We read out of the English translation here was written originally in the Hebrew language.
The word for God.
In the Hebrew language here I believe is Elohim.
The word Elohim is plural.
I understand also I've heard this.
That Elohim is actually more than two, not just plural in two, but rather three. Brother Brian, is that right?
In the beginning, God Elohim.
Created.
The next word, the verb, the noun, the subject is God, plural 3.
Created.
And in the Hebrew created is singular.
00:10:03
The Triune God.
Created singular.
Oh dear friends, it means so much. You know this book that we have?
Is the His. It opens up to us beyond this life, beyond this world, and takes us into the secret councils of God.
You could read all the books in the in the library and study in school and philosophy in these various things, but if it is something that doesn't agree with this book, dear friends.
You're best to put it aside.
And here God would open his word and say to you and to me.
If you're trying to find the source of life, you're trying to find the source of this world that God would say in the beginning, God, he has a message in this book for you and me.
That he was there in a past eternity and he created the world.
God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. I enjoy thinking of this book in this way that it it is a gradual unfolding of the mind of God to man.
It's wonderful to read because as we read it, we find out a little bit more and a little bit more and a little bit more.
Now if you go down with me, please to the 26th verse.
We find here.
The councils of God here, it says.
And God said, Let us make man in our image after our likeness. Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created him, male and female.
Created he them, and God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply and replenish the earth and subdue it, and so on.
Now to go back to that verse 26 again and God said.
Let us make man another reference to plural the councils of God were involved in the making of you.
Let us make man in our own image after our likeness.
Yes, God made you and He made me.
Now notice in the next chapter.
I like this verse, verse 7.
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life.
And man became a living soul.
What I'm referring to when I say I like this verse. It's in this way that says he formed the Lord. God formed man with the dust of the ground.
You know, if you go down to a Potter. So we are on our way down here. We we stopped at a place where they made pottery and then Jeremiah tells us to go down to the House of the Potter.
Form and work there and you see them take and they and they form the pottery. They make the pottery, they design it the way that they want to design A particular piece of pottery, pottery.
Well, here it says, God formed man of the dust of the ground he made you.
He made who you are.
Your personality.
There's not two snowflakes alike, and there's not two of you.
And God made you, and he made you forever.
00:15:04
And he made you because he loves you and he wants you.
We'll find that out a little bit more as we go through this part. Do you ever think of do I have a purpose in this life?
You ever wonder why am I here? You ever wonder where I'm going?
All friends you can know.
You can have purpose.
In your life, you know, I was talking to a brother just within the last month or so. Tell you who it was, Ian hurled up at Hammer Bay. He was saying this. He said, you know, people in the world in general, they don't know where they come from. They don't know what they're where they're going, and they don't have a purpose in their life. Isn't it true? We're living in a mad world, you know?
People don't know know about how man was formed outside of this book. They don't know where they're going. It's a leaf in the dark.
And As for this life, people searching, not knowing what to do.
No mission in life, no purpose, hoping things will workout for the best as they're getting worse and worse in the world.
Dear friends, He made you. He loves you.
He wants your company in this world, and he wants you there forever.
I want to turn to.
Over to John's Gospel chapter one.
John's Gospel chapter one.
Verse 18.
Beautiful verse said by the Lord himself no man.
Has seen God at anytime.
The only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared Him.
Tell you a little story about this verse. When I was a teenager, I was up in this town of Perry Sound. They used to preach the gospel on the corner.
And.
Where somebody that came by?
That didn't.
That didn't believe that Jesus was God.
And they were talking to our brother Gordon, and I was a silent listener.
And our brother Gordon quoted this verse to the person.
No man has seen God at anytime. The only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared Him.
And her brother said to him, To this man, he said, God was both in heaven and on earth at the same time.
The only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father. In other words, He was there.
And he was there on Earth at the same time.
And he was declaring the father and this man said to our brother, he said that's quite a trick for somebody to do that.
And our brother Gordon said to him, If you're going to talk about my savior as a man that does tricks, I'm leaving you and not going to talk to you anymore.
And he left them left him there with that to think about it. But think of this verse, friends, the only no man has seen God at any time. That is true. God is a spirit.
But God sent his Son to reveal him, God himself.
So the only begotten Son, which was in the bosom of the Father, even when He was here in this world, was declaring who God was.
00:20:06
Now turn over, please, to Romans chapter 5.
And verse 8.
God commended his love toward us.
Now, while we were yet sinners.
Christ died for us.
One hardly knows how to talk about these verses beyond just reading them.
But think of God commending His love to mankind.
You know the verses in the Bible? Several verses. I'm sure most here would know several verses.
All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. It refers to you and me.
And God commanded his love toward us. When we were sinners, Christ died for us.
He didn't look for a time when man was going to.
Improve himself and make himself more suitable for the presence of God.
Because He knew that you and I couldn't do that, and He commanded his love while we were sinners.
That Christ died.
For us, Who's he? Us, You and me.
So we read over another verse that has us in it.
The blood of Jesus Christ, His Son, cleanseth us from all sin.
While we were sinners, Christ died for us, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin. Now please turn back with me to Luke's Gospel chapter 23.
And this is the story of the crucifixion.
And I'd like to start with verse 33.
And when they were come to the place which is called Calvary.
There they crucified him, the malefactors, one on the right hand and the other on the left. Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment and cast lots, and the people stood beholding. The rulers also with them derided him saying.
He saved others, let him save himself, if he be Christ the chosen of God. And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, offering him vinegar, and saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself. In a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek and Latin and Hebrew. This is the king of the Jews.
And one of the malefactors which were hang railed on him.
Saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds. But this man hath done nothing amiss. And he said unto Jesus, Lord, Remember Me when thou cometh into thy Kingdom.
And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise. And was about the six hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the 9th hour, And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst. And when Jesus had cried, with a loud voice he said, Father into thy hand.
00:25:04
As I commend my spirit. And having said thus, he gave up the ghosts. Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, certainly this was a righteous man.
In orders from the first saying of the Lord here on the cross, verse 34, it starts with Father.
Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them. And now verse 46, when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit. And having said thus, he gave up the ghost. You know how many hours were between those two, those two sayings of the Lord and the cross.
Father forgive them, and Father into thy hands I commend my spirit. You know many hours they were six.
Six hours.
Says Then when they are come to the place that is called Calvary, there they crucified him.
You know, it was outside Jerusalem. I suppose they took and dug a hole in the ground.
And they?
And.
I don't want to, I don't want to speculate here, but.
I would think that probably what they did is they put the cross down and put the Lord Jesus on the cross, and they nailed his hands and they nailed his feet and then stood the cross up, put it in the hole in the ground, and there he was.
Two other people there, 2 Thieves.
One-on-one side and 1:00 on the other.
Probably did the same thing.
And there they were. What distance apart, we don't really know.
Don't think it was too far.
And the Lord Jesus.
He prays this prayer.
That was heard by the people. Father, forgive them.
For they know not what they do.
And there he hung for six hours, and then he gave up his spirit to God.
I thought of this a while back when.
An aunt of ours died in Ottawa.
Before she died, why she was in her house.
She lived alone. She was over 90 years of age.
Many of you here will know who I'm talking about. Gene Welsh.
Person I.
Grew very fond of over the years and was much help to me spiritually.
And she lived alone in her own house there and.
She was getting ready to go down to the basement.
And something happened, she missed her step or something, and she fell down. She was alone.
And she was there for six hours.
And she?
We talked on the phone after she went to the hospital. They found her. She was well taken care of by others watched over her.
But when she's in the hospital, we were talking to her and she was the same happy spirit.
And six, six days later, she went home to be with her with her savior. Multiple fractures in her body.
They they couldn't do anything for her but try to keep her as comfortable as possible, and she slipped into the presence of the Lord.
She knew the Lord as her Savior because at the time she was a young girl.
But you know, I thought about it.
Someday I'd like to ask her.
What happened during those six hours?
What did she do? Was she conscious? How conscious was she? Did she cry for help?
00:30:06
Well, I know the Lord took care of her.
And I remember talking to her on the phone when she was there in the hospital. She was just her normal, cheerful self as a one who was resigned in her life to honor the Lord. And then the Lord took her. But I thought of it, friends, in connection with these six hours here that we've just read about.
You see, in these hours, here's the man who is the Creator, the sustainer of the universe.
And the man with his hands, the only thing he'd ever done was good in his life. And those feet that trod the weary miles in this world? Nothing. But to the glory of God, he never took a step in his life without.
Seeking the God's mind and what he does.
What he would do?
And he can I say, March to the hill of Calvary. And he laid down his life for you and me, the man who was without sin.
And God made him sin for you and me.
And there on the cross.
Those hands.
That they took a nail there that had done nothing but good.
And then he says, Father forgive them.
You know what's preached to you tonight for all here in this room? Forgiveness.
This world talks a lot about forgiveness.
But dear friends, do you have forgiveness of your sins?
General Acts 1338.
I'm just going to quote it. It's beautiful. You know, reading the book of Acts, the floodgates of God's grace going out to mankind. He says, be it known unto you, therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins.
Did you ever do something wrong?
And and the person you did it against, they knew.
Did you ever go to them after and ask them forgiveness?
Well, forgiveness is preached to you tonight.
Have you had your sins forgiven? You have sinned, you know.
The Bible says all of sinned.
And you have a conscience that tells you you've done things that are wrong.
And the Bible also says over in Romans chapter 14 that everyone of us will give account of himself to God.
And it is appointed unto men once to die, and after death the judgment.
Are you ready?
You're appointed to die. You get an appointment in this world and you keep it. You go to the dentist, you go to the doctor, you go to wherever it is appointment about something and you keep the appointment. You have another appointment.
And that's death.
And the Bible says after death, the judgment, let's turn to the verse because let's just hold your place here, if you would. And Luke, it's a beautiful chapter.
Return to Hebrews Chapter 9.
It's nice to see how God groups things together like this, you know? Hebrews 927.
The two verses go together. 2728 As it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment, so Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many, and under them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
00:35:00
Just as it is appointed under you and me.
That we're going to leave this world.
Wants to die and that there is an afterlife.
Because God breathed into man the breath of life and man became a living soul.
After death, the judgment and the next verse because of this.
So Christ was once offered to bear the sin of many, and that's what we've had brought before us. And I'd like to go back and spend a little while on these verses here. Oh, the Lord on the cross.
Back in Luke 23.
When they're coming 33, when they're come to the place which is called Calvary, there they crucified him and the malefactors. I always remember our brother Gladding saying to us years ago, he said, careful, when you read this verse, did you put the commas in there?
It says.
The.
They crucified him, comma and the malefactors.
Jesus was not a malefactor.
He was numbered with them, but he was not a malefactor.
The only perfect man, the only holy man that ever walked this world. And imagine the coincidence, if I can call it that, of these two thieves finding themselves in the presence of the Son of God.
When he's dying on the cross.
And it tells us in another gospel that they both railed on him, along with the other people, the rulers, the people that were there, the soldiers.
The people in verse 35 stood beholding. The rulers derided him. He saved others. What mockery.
Let him save himself. He be Christ, the children of God, the soldiers.
Soldiers can be tough, you know.
Also mocked him.
And seeing if thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself now. Verse 38.
I think this is significant, very significant. This verse and a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek and Latin and Hebrews. This is the king of the Jews, I understand.
That.
When they took when they had a, they were hanging a thief that they would put above him. The crimes, the reasons why that he was being hung.
And why he was cast out of this world, but on the cross of Jesus, all they put down was this is Jesus the King of the Jews. And it says here that it was written in Hebrew and Greek and Latin. Why do you think God? What do you think that they that it was written in those languages? What do you think that God has taken to put this in the world and in his word?
Well.
The Greek was the educational world.
Latin was the the government.
And Hebrew was the religious world.
Those three, those 3.
Stratas in society.
Were all represented in crucifying the Lord Jesus and they all said we don't want them.
This is Jesus.
Saying is a word of God. We don't want your son. You know friends, that you and I are living in a world that doesn't want them and still doesn't want them. This is 2000 years ago.
And they're still saying we don't want them.
This is Jesus, the King of the Jews, But he says him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out will you have him? He wants you.
00:40:07
The world doesn't want, but what about you?
Do you want him?
Will you accept them?
Now notice the next part here.
Verse 39 One of the malefactors, Richard Hang railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. But the answer the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation, and we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds. Boy, that was an honest man.
He realized that he was condemned to die for the things that he had done.
And he was, in that way, accepting the punishment that he deserved.
And in those three hours that he was there with the Lord Jesus, hanging on that cross, in a period of three hours, he turned from a railer to the point where he turns to the other thief and he says, I'm not going to be part of this anymore.
And then he turns and notice.
The wording?
You know, verse 4041.
We received the due reward of our deeds, but this man have done nothing amiss. I'm going to digress a little bit from here. I want to tell you a little story about these words. This man hath done nothing amiss.
There is a man.
That came to meeting one of our meetings. I'll tell you where it was. It was Rideau Ferry goes back.
This goes back maybe almost 7500 years ago. There's trouble in the meeting.
And he stayed away from meeting.
And he was a he was a man that was a farmer.
And he had his horse, and he plowed his horse.
And.
He was doing a lot of thinking when he was staying away from meeting about all the troubles and everything else, and he loved the Lord.
And he was plowing behind with it with his horse there The Lord gave him this verse.
When he was plowing, this man hath done nothing amiss.
You know what happened the next week he was back at the meeting.
Well, this thief.
I don't know what he knew.
But he found out about Jesus somehow. He may have only known for three hours. He may have not known one thing before that.
But God revealed to him who that man Jesus was, that he was beside on the cross, the divine revelation we have here. And so it says here, this man had done nothing amiss. There was something different about that man Jesus.
And then he turns to him, and he says, Lord, Remember Me when thou comest into thy Kingdom.
I don't think he knew hardly what to ask.
He just said Lord.
I know you're going to have a Kingdom someday.
Will you save a little spot for me?
Lord, Remember Me.
When you get your Kingdom.
Here he is in the cross, that man there going to die in a few hours.
And he turns.
To Jesus and says, Lord, Remember Me.
When thou comest into thy Kingdom.
Now you know, friends, the whole, the whole, all the words are important. God was working in his soul. But I tell you, the one word I like here is Lord. Lord.
Because Lord, I, the Lord means to surrender.
And so you know the verse in Romans 10:00 and 9:00 what it says.
00:45:03
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth, the Lord Jesus, or Jesus is Lord.
Will you surrender to him?
Have you surrendered to Him? Is he your Lord?
It says all we, like sheep, have gone astray. We've turned everyone to his own way. And that's the history of man in this world. And we're all part of it on the downward course that leads to destruction and unless there's a turning to the Lord.
Surrendering to him, there's no blessing.
You have to yield.
You like giving in? I don't.
But dear friends, you must yield to Jesus.
You must yield to him. You and I have a nature that wants our own way.
It's our wills that will land us in a lost eternity. Are you going to say no? You've got to say no to Jesus.
If you are.
If if you're going to land in a lost eternity.
I remember Ernie Wakefield, he used to say God has blocked the way to hell with the cross of Christ. You must pass over the cross. Are you going to pass over?
Jesus is passing by.
Will you surrender like this thief did? Oh this. Think of the Lord as he, as he was there listening to that thief and the thief amid all the other people, he's the only one that says a word in favor of the Lord Jesus. He turns to him, He's hanging there and the Savior of sinners right beside him. And he says.
Lord, Remember Me when thou comest into thy Kingdom. And what does Jesus say?
How long did it take to get an answer? Turn over a new leaf?
Have you been baptized?
Did you give any money to the church? No.
Just read the verse with me, verse 43. Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee.
Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.
Did he have to wait till the Lord got his Kingdom? Lord of the United Kingdom yet?
He's going to get it, but he doesn't have it yet. But the Lord says to him, because basically, can I put it like this?
You're surrendered, You have accepted me, my Lordship, and today you're going to be with me in paradise.
There was an earthly paradise and man was put out of the earthly paradise because of one sin. And God opens heaven where sin can never enter. Nothing that defiled us or anything. The work of the abomination or a lie. No sin will be in that scene. And that thief that was rejected who was cast out was received.
At the right hand of God.
The beloved Savior.
Old friends.
Have you received him? Have you come to him? Is he your Lord?
Are you going to be with them?
What happened to the other thief?
The scripture doesn't tell us.
But it seems to be that he never accepted the Lord, he never owned Jesus as Lord, and if that's the way he left this world, he landed in a lost eternity forever.
Go back to those verses. God breathed into man's nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul.
The animals die and they're it's the end of them, but not you and me.
You're going to live forever and I'm going to live forever, forever.
00:50:04
Either in one of two places. Thank God that I believe most in this room are going to be with them and like them forever. You know why did God make you? What did he make me? So we could sing praises to His Son forever, who always did His will.
He wants to fill heaven.
With those creatures who rebelled against them, if they will surrender and accept Christ.
Have you done it?
How old do you have to be to be saved?
Sometimes boys and girls get saved when they're three or four or five. I don't remember when I was saved.
I don't remember, kind of wish I did.
Kind of wish I did. I know people.
I won't tell you, there's just some stories that run through my mind.
Two or three people that have told both conversions how the Lord worked in their life and he's working in this room tonight. He's been working in you.
Oh, don't go out of this room without accepting Jesus.
Don't do it.
He died for you. Now how do you get saved? How do you get saved?
Well, we talked about that verse in Romans 10 and nine. Believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead. If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in thine heart that God have raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness.
Have you ever opened your heart door and asked the board to come in? It's a transaction that has to take place.
You know, we sometimes think maybe we'll sing. In closing, I think it's on that hymn sheet. It is done. The great transactions done. I am my Lords, and he is mine. Is he your Lord tonight?
Are your sins forgiven?
The next verse over from I'm going to just read this verse in closing. In Acts chapter 13, we talked about forgiveness of sins and it's lovely to see that isn't the end of the verse. End of the story there. Let's read those verses together. Acts 1338 and 39.
Be it known unto you, therefore, men and brethren.
That through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins, and by him all the believer justified from all things from which he could not be justified by the law of Moses. There's two different words that are used, one word forgiveness in that 38th verse and then in verse 39 we have the word justification. What's the difference?
Have you got forgiveness of your sins?
I I can say I have I have accepted Jesus as my Lord. Have you?
But I don't only have forgiveness of my sins.
I have been made before God.
So that when God looks at me, when the Lord Jesus looks at me in a coming day, it'll be just as like I never sinned at all, justified from all things. He'll never look. The Lord Jesus will never look at one of his own says, well, I remember what you did, No.
No, if you receive them as your savior, your sins are taken away as far as the east is from the West.
How far is the east from the West? I can tell you about how far it is from the North Pole to South Pole.
But how far is it from the east? From the West you just keep going round and round.
So far hath he removed our transgressions from us. You want to be a Christian? Will you accept them? Will you come tonight? He says if you come to me, I won't cast you out. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved. Now is that him in this?
00:55:14
In here. Oh, happy day.
Sorry #5.
Let's sing it to the tune.
What is it? Beulah land I think it is.
Oh Happy Day, that fixed my choice on the my Savior and my God. Well.
The heart rejoice and telleth raptures all abroad.
Oh Happy Day, Oh Happy Day when Jesus washed my sins away.
Taught me how.
Watch and pray and live rejoicing every day. Oh Happy Day, Oh Happy Day when wash my sins away.
Tis done the great transactions done. I am my Lords and he is mine.
I followed on, glad to confess thou.
Divine happy day, Oh Happy Day, Jesus washed my sins away, taught me how watch and pray and live rejoicing every day. Oh Happy Day, Oh Happy Day when my sins away.
Now rest my long divided heart.
From thy Lord depart with him of every good fullness.
Oh Happy Day, Oh Happy Day. Jesus washed my sins away, taught me how.
Watch and pray and live rejoicing every day. Happy day or happy day, when Jesus washed my sins away, we asked the Lords blessing our God and our Father.
We trust that everyone can sing this little hymn and truth happy day when Jesus washed my sins away. Father, we pray that by thy Holy Spirit that thou it's plow deep in this room tonight and that sinners may feel their need of the Savior and they may see the Savior is taking their place, their judgment on the cross. We commend ourselves to Thee, thanking Thee for these happy days we've had together.
In Jesus name, Amen.
