Let's start with #159.
159.
All things that God or man could wish.
In Jesus Christ.
Praise to believe.
Our eyes is my soul, dear Lord.
So sweet. OK, He has been himself jealous.
Spray.
Our God and Father.
I.
That the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart might be pleasing in thy sight.
No, God, we pray that these words and these meditations might be blessings.
To those who hear them. Thus we ask the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen.
I have considered off and on for the past few months.
Two men.
Whose names were given them?
Long, long before they were born.
One was a king named Josiah, the other was a king named Cyrus.
Let's turn to 1St Kings.
And I've wondered.
Considered, what would it be?
What would it be that God would have a name?
Of a person identified before he was born, long before his parents were born.
What would move God to do such a thing?
Let's first look in First Corinthians Chapter 11.
I don't want to read verse 38. It says that it shall be. Oh, I guess I should tell you this is the prophet Abijah speaking to Jeroboam.
And this is in the days of the fourth king of Israel, Rehoboam.
And the Kingdom has just was just to be divided.
Into the Northern 10 tribes. In the southern 2 tribes.
And advisor is giving instructions to Jeroboam who is going to be in charge of the 10 tribes.
About his future.
And it's this verse 30 it shall be. 38 and it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I command thee, and will walk in my ways, and do that is right in my sight, to keep my statutes and my commandments as David my servant did, that I will be with thee and build the assure house as I built for David.
And will give Israel unto thee.
This is an amazing point.
Jeroboam.
Could have been the and his children. Could have been the only king that there ever was in the northern tribes. Northern 10 tribes.
As it turns out.
00:05:00
Only he and his son two generations reigned and then Vayasa.
Reign for two generations, and then there was the House of Omri, which reigned for four generations, and there was the House of Jehu which reigned for four generations, and then between all those.
Various rains, we might say, or.
Whatever you want to call them, there were various upstarts and traders and rebels that raped, but it could have been.
That that we would read through this book of First kings and every king.
That was named from the northern tribes would have been one of the sons of Jeroboam. All he had to do is this one thing and it doesn't even say that.
If your son fails.
Then it's going to stop.
David's children failed and his reign continued on and on for 22, well, 21 generations.
It could have been the same thing in the Northern Kingdom.
But Jeremy almost took some counsel and we find in the next chapter in verse 27 it says, if this Jeroboam says to himself, if this people go up to do sacrifice in the House of the Lord at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their Lord, even under Ray of Om, King of Judah.
So he still thinks Ray of Om, David's son, is the king. He doesn't realize it's been given to him. It's his.
It's his only to lose.
Then shall the people turn to their akin to their Lord, even under rail home, king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to Ray of Om, king of Judah. Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem. Behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
Yes, it was quite a bit too much.
Can you imagine?
The Lord Jesus, when he was here on earth, he lived in Capernaum near the Sea of Galilee and.
See if God will see if Gala is.
696 feet below sea level.
We think Death Valley is low. Death Valley is not even 300 feet below sea level.
Steve Galley, 696 feet below sea level.
And every every year, three times in a year.
They'd have to pack up their bags or get on their donkey or walk my foot. Every male.
And walk 100 miles north-south to Jerusalem. Jerusalem.
Is 2800 feet above sea level.
That's a steady climb for 100 miles, and they had to do that three times a year.
Most of them on foot.
Yeah, it was too much for them, and Jeroboam had a good excuse to tell them don't bother to do that.
It's too hard. It's too hard to go to that place. And besides, if you do, I'm worried that you might kill me and go back and become part of the Kingdom of David again.
That was such a significant event.
Such a significant event in the history of Israel.
That this king Josiah was named.
And so we read on in chapter 13.
And it says, And behold, there came a man of God out of Judah, by the word of the Lord, unto Bethel. And Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense.
And he cried against the altar, and the word of the Lord, and said, Oh, altar alter. Thus saith the Lord, Behold.
00:10:06
A child shall be born unto the House of David Josiah by name.
And upon thee shall he offer thee.
Priests, so the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men's bones shall be burnt upon thee.
And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This is the sign which the Lord hath spoken. Behold, the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out.
What was wrong with that altar? Besides it, there was a golden calf there.
Well, you know what an altar is a place where.
People offer sacrifices.
It's a place where.
They approach God.
It's a place where they worship.
But that's a place that from the time that there has been a people of God, from the very time that there has been a people of God.
There has been only one altar in that place.
And Jeroboam was spoiling.
Spoiling that divine principle that there's only one altar. Imagine having to walk 100 miles uphill to go and offer a sacrifice. Why did God have to do that and make his people?
Walk so far because he wanted to have a picture that.
It can only be done in one place, only one place.
And it's the place that represented the people of God, the unity of the people of God. And so it was in Deuteronomy 12. Moses gave the instructions. You couldn't go off for sacrifices in any old place. You have to go in the place where the Lord appointed and so.
It was also.
When in the days of Joshua, when the 2 1/2 tribes across Jordan built an altar not to offer sacrifices?
That there was a big deal about that.
And there almost came a war over it.
It's so important that there should be only one place, only one altar.
That the people of God could gather and won't make their sacrifices.
So he gave this sign that there was coming a day when a man by the name of Josiah, one of the children of David.
Was going to.
To.
Solve, we might say, this problem, and he was going to defile that altar.
There, if you search through the Bible, you'll find no other man by the name of Josiah.
I find a whole lot of Shimmy Ayers and you know, lots of other names you keep coming across.
No other. No other Josiah.
And so.
He also gave a sign and that altar that Jeroboam was standing by. 4 1/2 rent.
And ashes poured out.
Jeroboam was upset about them and stuck out his hand and said.
What did he say?
Verse 4.
Saying lay hands, lay hold of him.
In other words, arrest. That man in his hand wouldn't come back. He was stuck and he had to beg for the prophet, the old, the prophet to to.
To pray for him and have his hand restored.
And that altar did fall apart, and the ashes poured out on the ground.
So the altar.
Being broken, the ashes poured out. I wondered why. Why does it point out that the ashes poured out?
00:15:06
Well, the altar was in the wrong place.
And it could not represent the unity of the people of God.
It was destroyed. What about the sacrifice on it?
The sin offerings it tells us in Leviticus 4 that they are to be.
The sin offering is to be burnt outside the camp.
The innards of that.
Sin off rain.
They were to be burnt on the altar.
And the ashes were to be taken outside the camp also.
Strange. You know, if I was to take a, let's say, a chicken and put it on the rotisserie and.
And the sweet saver comes up.
I take the innards and throw them in the garbage.
And enjoy the smell of the cooking chicken. It's the exact opposite.
Inside the camp, at the burnt, at the brazen offer altar, was the innards.
The liver, the kidneys and so on.
Burnt on the on the altar.
And the body.
And the skin.
It's taken outside the camp.
And it was burnt outside the camp.
That's because that which was inside.
It's a picture of the Lord Jesus.
Offering himself there as our sacrifice, the only sin. Offering that ever, you might say, counted.
All that was inside him offered to God.
A sweet saver.
His innards, everything that made him tick, we might say.
The outward, the skin, his body, all that.
Burnt outside the camp. That which man saw was the cross.
Just across a man dying there in the cross, that's what man saw.
But God saw what was inside, and so that was.
That was offered on the.
Brazen altar. The rest was burned outside the camp. And so it points out here in this passage that.
The ashes spilled out in the ground. The sacrifice was not a picture of Christ at all.
Let's.
Turn to read about Josiah in the Book of Chronicles.
Second Chronicles chapter, chapter 34.
So 14 generations pass.
About 325 years later.
And.
An ungodly king.
By the name of Ammon.
And his wife, they have a little boy.
They named him Josiah.
Means whom Jehovah heals.
I have no idea if they had any knowledge of this.
Prophecy that was made long ago, but they fulfilled it.
And we see here in Second Chronicles 34.
Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign.
Chapter verse one.
Now 8 year old boys like to be kings.
You know, I don't know if there's any 8 year old boys here, but if we took one and stood them up here, hard to imagine this guy having a crown on us yet.
Little girls always, they seem to want to be princesses, but little boys seem to like to be kings. Here's a man, a boy that could do anything he wanted to because he was king. He could say off with your head and that person would be executed.
00:20:09
He was king, he could do anything he wanted to.
What would you do if you're an 8 year old kid and you were made king?
Ah boy, you might start thinking of all the things you could do.
He must have done the mall or whatever he wanted to anyway.
It says that he reigned 3031 years, and then it says in verse three and in the eighth year of his reign. So now he's 16 years old while he's yet young.
He began to seek after the God of David, his father.
You know, that is about the time where a lot of young men and women decide which way they're going.
When I was seven years old, I asked the Lord to be my Savior.
I was like Josiah, just a kid.
Came to be about 15 years old. I remember there was a time I decided, do I want to grow up to be a a thug or a gangster? A bad talking person?
Is that what I want?
There came a time in my life when I was that age about the same as Josiah did it.
Besides, I've got it. I've got to search that. I've got to seek after the Lord.
There's something more to life than being.
Popular.
Are feared.
Or being the class comic.
There's something more to life than that. There is indeed.
And Josiah came to realize that.
And he started to seek after the Lord. Then it says we're still in verse 4.
In the 12Th year, he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high, from the high places and the Groves in the car of images and the molten images.
You know, after a while.
You're not 16 years old anymore. You realize I've got to do something about this. It's not just me. It's not just me that is changing my way of life. I have a responsibility. I've got to do something about the things that come before me. I may not be king, but I do have certain responsibilities, maybe in the class.
Maybe.
You know, maybe in your workplace.
But there's a responsibility, and Josiah saw it.
And he started to do things about it. He started to clean up his Kingdom, we might say. And you?
Have a Kingdom.
It may not be a big one, but each one of you have a Kingdom.
It may be just yourself, but it's probably more, probably more than just yourself. Josiah began to clean up his Kingdom.
And it says.
Then.
This.
See. So he's 16 years old.
And then it says in verse 3.
Well, let's see, I'm losing my place. I'm going to read it.
There's three we read about. He began to purge.
The high places and so on. And verse four and they breakdown the altars of Balaam in his presence, and the images that were on high above them, and cut down the Groves and carved images and the molten images, broken pieces and so on.
And then?
In verse five, he actually fulfills the prophecy that was.
Made all those years before. And he comes to the altar and he breaks, and he breaks it down. He sacrifices, he defiles it, he burns, burns the bones of priests upon the altars, and so on.
00:25:03
And.
Then we find in verse 8.
The 18th year of his reign.
So now he's 26 years old.
I might make one remark before he got to be 26 years old.
In Jeremiah chapter one and verse two it says that Jeremiah began to prophecy in the 13th year of.
Of his reign.
You know what if you are like Josiah?
And you come to make a decision for the Lord, and then you start to clean up your domain.
Begin to seek after God.
You'll find that there's someone else.
That's going to be an encouragement to you and you will be an encouragement to them.
So.
In the.
13th year of his reign, so he's now 21 years old.
After he had already begun to fulfill the prophecy and so on.
God provides a prophet, Jeremiah.
That.
Works, we might say, in harmony with this king.
You'll find.
You'll find others of like spirit with you if you make this commitment to do as Jeremiah has done.
Right so then in verse eight, we come to the part where he's he's now 26 years old and and in the 18th year of his reign, he he'd done all this purging and so on. I.
And we find in verse 15 that he.
He's putting together, he's repairing the House of the Lord, and they find.
A book.
Yokiah answered and said to Schaffen describe I found the book of the Law in the House of the Lord, and Al Qaeda delivered the book to Shaphan.
You know, it's remarkable what Josiah did before he even had the book.
He had a sense of what God would have him to do.
Then he got the book.
And.
He had the word of God to guide him.
So now he's, what, 26 years old?
No, you young men, 26 years old and older, be better if you started already. But it's time to get out the book. It's time to get out that book and.
And.
The guide of your life.
Well, one of the things that he found out is that you're meant to keep the Passover.
And we read in in Chapter 35 how he did that now.
I'm going to skip over talking about that, but.
I think that was perhaps the high point of Josiah's life.
Interesting enough I can't explain it, but I don't.
I don't know, it doesn't seem like there ever was another Passover.
After that.
Same thing I wonder about Hezekiah. Wonderful he got to the close to the Lord and.
Had a Passover, maybe did everything wrong but got honored.
And.
Yet you never read of another Passover.
And it seems like Josiah might have done the same. I don't I don't know.
But it was a wonderful Passover.
You know, after Josiah.
Had this high point of his life.
Next thing we find out about him is that he got mixed up into things of the world.
00:30:04
He was told not to.
He got mixed up in the battles of the world.
Got in between somebody elses fight.
And many a Christian has gone down this road.
Getting involved in all kinds of things.
And.
Unfortunately, this godly man.
Died at 39 years old in battle.
Or as a result of wounds in battle, we might say.
Very godly king.
The most godly of all the kings.
Says there is no king like him for turning to the Lord with all his heart and soul and might.
Like David, What about Hezekiah?
Whoa.
Josiah there says there's no king like him. That's what the Bible says about him. Turn to the Lord of the whole, his heart and his soul and his might.
Yes, and.
Then he got mixed up in the world and died young.
Well, 22 years later.
4 kings later.
There was number more king to be had.
In Judah.
For 70 * 7 years there was a king in Judah.
From the time of Saul.
To the Last King of Zedekiah, the House of There was a king in Judah.
All that Saul be in the House of David.
Zedekiah was deported in like 599 BC.
About that same time.
There was a king in Persia named Canvasses.
His wife had a little baby.
There was a boy. What do we name him?
Let's name him Cyrus.
Cyrus means like the sun.
He's going to be like the sun shining over the whole world.
Interesting.
I don't know if this ever happened, probably didn't, but I can imagine one of campuses.
Servants coming into him and saying, you know.
I told one of the Hebrews that is serving us that you've named your son Cyrus, and he says that there was a prophet in Israel that prophesied that there would be a king named Cyrus.
Someday.
That's interesting.
Well, I don't. I'm not any worshiper of the God of Israel, Canvas, it says. But that is very interesting.
And so.
We have.
The prophecies.
Of Isaiah.
And there were.
3 prophets that prophesied at that same time. If you were to turn to the first verse of Isaiah, you would find that Isaiah prophesied.
In a time of a of a Isaiah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah.
Then if you turn the first verse of Hosea, find the exact same exact same thing.
As I.
Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah.
Then he turned to the Book of Micah.
And you find that Micah prophesied in the time of not Josiah, but Jotham. He has, and Hezekiah. Imagine that three prophets at the same time.
00:35:02
They all had different prophecies.
Isaiah was a prophet to.
Judah.
Hosea was a prophet mainly to the northern tribes, the 10 tribes of Israel up north.
Hosea says.
Hosea says.
Though am I.
You're not my people.
Makes it clear that.
If you read that in chapter one of Hosea that he's Speaking of the northern tribes.
And then?
Well, let's just divert to Hosea for a moment.
In chapter one and verse.
6-7 it speaks six and seven. He speaks of low am I and so on and.
And so the message of Hosea is that there is judgment coming for those northern tribes. He also speaks of the.
Southern Kingdom and judgment coming to them also. But mainly he's a prophet to the northern tribes.
He says in chapter 3.
The Children of Israel Verse four The children of Israel shall abide many days without a king.
Exactly what happened? There are many days when they didn't have a king.
And without a Prince, that means no royal family. Exactly what happened without a sacrifice.
They weren't sacrificing. They had sacrificed to other gods. Without a sacrifice, without an image, What happened to those golden calves? No more public images without a tariff. And those are the household images, like what Rachel stole from her father. They're the household images no more. None of those.
Afterward, the children of Israel says in verse five, return and seek the Lord their God.
And David, their king.
Now that's very interesting, because he's saying that you 10 tribes afterwards are going to seek the king of the South, not the king of the north. Afterwards they're going to seek David their king, and shall fear the Lord and his goodness in their latter days.
Chapter 6.
He says in verse 2.
He has a message of hope. There's coming a time when things are going to be restored.
So it says, verse one, Come, and let us return unto the Lord, for he hath torn, and he will heal us. He has smitten, He'll bind us up, and after two days will he revive us. In the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
There's coming a time when Israel gets restored.
But there's going to be two days. Hosea lived in the time. The Lord speaks of it as the time of.
The Law and the Prophets, Luke 1616.
Jose lived in that time, but there's going to be two more times.
That come and then the third time.
They're going to be restored. What are those two times?
That's certainly not the church area.
Church time. The church never was the subject of prophecy. It makes that very clear in the New Testament.
But there were two days. One day lasted 3 1/2 years, the day of the Messiah.
The Day of the Messiah lasted 3 1/2 years.
And then there's a second day. We call it the day of Jacob's Trouble.
In between is so far about 2000 years between those two days. But they have nothing to do with prophecy.
00:40:02
So there's a damn Messiah and the day of Jacob's trouble, and then the third day they're raised up. So Hosea, his message is that there's judgment coming.
But there's.
There's going to be hope.
Micah has a similar prophecy.
Isaiah has a similar prophecy.
Concerning Isaiah.
Concerning Isaiah.
It never says you're not my people. In fact, I read just last week in Psalms 94, Psalm 94.
Says the Lord will not forsake his people.
From chapter one to the end of Isaiah he refers to.
The people as his people.
And so we have.
Comfort ye, comfort ye, my people.
And so we have.
In chapter 53.
For the transgression of my people.
Are they stricken?
And.
More significantly, we might say in chapter 49 of Isaiah says.
Verse 13 Sing, O heavens, and be joyful, O earth, and break forth into singing all mountains. For the Lord hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted. But Zion said, the Lord hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me. Can a woman forget her suckling child, that she should not have compassion on the center of her womb?
They may forget, yet I will not forget thee now, the Lord, as it says in some 94.
Will not forsake his people, and Isaiah was the prophet to his people.
To the people of Judah.
So then.
And Micah, we have that Micah is a prophet to both Samaria.
And Jerusalem says that in the first.
First verse.
And then we find that in chapter 4 it says.
The first three chapters speak of all the judgment that's coming on both of those on Samaria and Jerusalem. But in the last days it says in chapter 4, verse one, it shall come to pass that the mountain of the House of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills, and people shall flow into it.
So it was coming a day that.
There was going to be a restoration.
And then it says in verse 8, And thou tower of the flock, the stronghold of the daughter of Zion.
Not to the stronghold of the daughter of Samaria, to the stronghold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall come.
Even the first dominion, the Kingdom, shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem.
Yes, there's going to be a restoration of the Kingdom.
And then in Chapter 5, you find out how it's going to come about.
Verse 2 But thou, O Bethlehem Ephrata, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall come forth unto me. Let us be the ruler in Israel, who's going forth have been from old, from everlasting.
Ah, yes.
There's coming a time when.
There would be somebody born in Bethlehem of Judea.
I didn't read Isaiah chapter 5045 where it speaks of Cyrus.
You can read it yourself if you want to.
But now I want to get on to something else.
You know there was.
00:45:02
600 years between the last.
King.
In Israel.
And the time of the Lord Jesus.
And so.
The Last King of Israel was.
Zedekiah.
And he started raining in 600 BC or so.
About 200 years go by.
And the last prophet dies.
Joel.
No more. No more prophets raised up for 400 years.
Another couple 100 years go by and people start saying you know.
This has been 400 years since David's.
David's family reigned over us.
And I don't think, we don't think anymore that there are angels.
We don't think there are.
There's there's resurrection from the dead.
I mean, it's nice to be an Israelite. Nice, nice to be from Judah. But those things that we're taught long ago, they're outdated.
And so in the year 204 BC, a group of people called the Sadducees.
Were formed.
Years go by.
Months. Years.
Time rolls by so slowly.
Another few years after, shortly after, the Sadducees are formed.
If only that we had somebody to reign over us.
And a guy named Judas Maccabeus is a great warrior.
They say we want him to rule over us, him and his children from now on.
No wonder the Maccabees aren't part of the scriptures.
They gave up the Christ.
And they anointed in their own minds a replacement for him.
Months go by.
Years go by.
And there's the.
A decree for everybody to go get taxed. Everybody has to sign up for the taxation.
And two people.
Who happened to be?
Long ago, we might say, long descendants of the House of David.
Head off to Bethlehem. She is heavy with child.
And while they're at the end, she gives birth.
They called his name.
They called his name Jesus.
Jesus.
Now you might wonder after what we've talked about.
Why was the name of Jesus not prophesied? There was a very important event.
The false altar and the false sacrifice.
That provoked the name of.
Josiah to be announced.
There was another very important event, that is that God had planned that his people should be put away in Jerusalem. He didn't want them to give up hope.
And he wanted them to know that there was a king coming that was going to send them back home.
And so his name was identified Cyrus.
Why was not the name of Jesus given?
Well, first of all, every Jewish mother would have named their child Jesus from then on.
That was the hope of every godly Jewish woman to give birth to Messiah.
That's not the reason.
That's not the reason.
The reason is this.
It was the name of his humiliation.
His names of glory are given. You can read about them in Isaiah chapters 9 verse six. His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. His names of glory are given.
00:50:18
But his name of humiliation is not.
But the name of his humiliation is the name that every knee shall bow to at the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. We would have done it the other way around, wouldn't we? We would have said, we're going to, we're going to have them bow at the name of wonderful and bow at the name of.
Mighty God, no at the name of Jesus.
Every knee shall bow.
There is something that we need to know a name represents.
Of power, we might say.
In Revelation 5, we read that he has seven horns.
The king of the Medes and Persians.
Two horns meets Persians, Alexander the Great One horn.
The Eagle.
The future.
Beast of Israel, two horns, political and religious.
That lamb in Revelation 57 horns, what are they?
Well, I could say prophet priest. That's religious.
King, That's political.
There's more. We don't know what they are. Well, we could name a lot of other things.
You know.
In Revelation 19.
It says this.
Verse 12. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns.
And it had a name written that no man knew but himself. The name represents something you know we know.
His lots of his names.
Mrs. Helen Willis.
Went through the Bible and I think she gave about 400 different names.
He has many names.
But there's one name.
Tells us in Revelation 19 that we don't know.
I don't think they ever will know it. There's something about them that we don't know.
No, when I when I named my child Victor, let's say I have in mind that he might be victorious in things.
The name represents what the person.
Is.
Or is wanted to be, we might say.
You know there's in the gospel of.
John.
There's a few passages, one of them John 118.
Want to refer to.
No man hath seen God at anytime. The only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared Him.
It doesn't say the only begotten Son which came from the bosom of the Father. He has declared him. It doesn't seem to say that He the only begotten Son that's going to the bosom of the Father. He has to says the only begotten Son which is in the bosom of the Father.
He has declared him.
He's there now. He was there then.
While he's, while he's walking on this earth.
He was also in the bosom of the Father.
John, chapter 3, verse 13.
And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of Man, which.
Is in heaven.
Shouldn't it say he's here on earth and going to heaven or came from heaven? No, should not say that because while he was on earth.
It was in heaven.
Then John chapter 14.
00:55:04
Verse.
Three.
Whether I go, I go, I go and prepare a place for you. I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am, there you may be also.
There I am.
He was there.
And.
While he walked on Earth, he was.
In heaven also.
In John in Matthew Chapter 11.
There's a verse that's and the other gospels, some of the other gospels also, but it's.
It's in verse 27 it says.
All things are delivered unto me of my Father, and no man knoweth his son but the Father.
I'd rather read the rest of it, but no man knows his son. But do you think you know Jesus?
You don't know.
You know a lot about them. We've learned and love. Know him and love him.
You don't know Jesus like the Father does. You don't know all about him. There's so much that we don't know yet.
And there's some things that we never will know.
That secret name?
There's so much more.
But we're out of time.
And I want to.
Have us sing one verse of #152.
And it's verse 3.
Because it brings before us his humiliation.
152 verse 3.
Thy name we love.
Life.
Spray.
