Yes, please, let's love me.
Bible bounce me so.
I'm going to ask the question, why does Jesus love us? Is it because we love Him first that he loved us?
He loved us when we were.
Not something that's that's good news and that suits us exactly. Somebody one time. Instead the word Jesus spells.
Just exactly.
Suit us sinners.
Isn't that lovely?
He just exactly suits us sinners. That's what the name Jesus stands for.
00:05:03

Go to all to let it go. There's still good air against water.
Then it's always been a while after this way. No, I don't work for him all night again.
Oh it is so big implemented to kill me.
That's quite a song, isn't it? We have two little eyes to look to God, and God gave us those eyes to look to him. And boys and girls, you know what we've done last night? We heard a verse that says all we like sheep, have gone astray. We have turned everyone to his own way.
And the Lord hath laid on him the inequity of us all. You know, boys and girls, some of you might want to do this thing, and some of you say, well, that's terrible to do that, but I want to do my own thing and that's different. That's okay. Is that right? You know, boys and girls, we've gone all the way. Those ways might be different from one another.
But the fact that you don't always want to go God's way.
Shows that we're sinners. That's what sin is. Doing my own thing and in opposition to God's will.
You know, it's a wonderful thing that we have the opportunity of hearing about the Lord Jesus Christ because He alone has put our sins away. Now who's got another one?
Well, you know.
I've got a lot more reason to be nervous than you do.
How about #41?

Boys and girls, I'm going to ask you a question. How many learn the Bible verse for this week?
Nobody that what happens at conference time. Nobody learns a Bible verse.
Who knows where the Bible verse is?
I don't like to know. I'll have to say the Bible verse this morning by myself.
Maybe somebody will say that.
It's found in fair.
First, Peter.
3-18 Maybe somebody, some boy or girl, could read it for me.
Birds Heater 318.
I have to forget me. I don't know your name. Sometimes I can't even think of the names of people I know real well. Can you read it for me, please?
Stand up and read the verse.
First figure 18 so Christ also has almost suffered sins for the investor who might bring us to death. You can put to death in the test like drinking that speaker. Thank you.
Before we start to speak about these things, let's move to the Lord and ask His house.
Blessed God and Father, we look to Thee this morning. We ask thy help to thy word might be sold out, that thy heart might be showed out, that the Lord Jesus might be magnified, and that sinners might find their way into that place of blessing, that place of shelter.
In the Lord Jesus Christ, we look to thee and ask thy help and undertake.
For us, in the worthy name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
Boys and girls, the older ones. I'd like to read just a few verses here, in fact.
We'll just read a couple of verses here. For Christ also hath 1 suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the spirit, by the witch also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison.
Which sometime were disobedient.
When once the long-suffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing wherein few, that is 8 souls were saved by water.
What was it? What was it that characterized the souls?
Of that time.
What was it that caused all those people to drown in the floods of water?
They were disobedient. Disobedient. Do you know the Scripture speaks over and over again about obeying the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ?
You know, we have to know what that gospel is so that we can obey the gospel. And maybe with the Lords help, we'll look a little bit at some of these scriptures that show us the gospel that God is prepared for us so that we can obey the gospel.
Let us look 1St at First Corinthians. I'm going to have somebody read it for me.
First Corinthians, chapter 15.
From verse one.
Through verse four, maybe a boy or a girl could read that for me.
00:15:06
OK, you read it.
You it's also we have.
Also in memory which are increased to do unless you the first from all that which I also received however that price right.
According to the Scriptures and that he might because he was very and that he was again starting according to the Scriptures. Thank you. You know, here we have a declaration of the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ and you know people know.
That the Lord Jesus Christ is necessary.
To our salvation.
But, you know, some people don't know that He is enough for our salvation. And I'd like to have you look with me back to Genesis chapter 6 and we'll find and see if we can't see in that which was prepared for Noah and his wife and his sons if we can't find.
In that arc, the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus figured for us in it. Let's look at that.
Verse three of Genesis 6 tells us and the Lord said, my spirit shall not always strive with man for that he also has flesh, yet his days shall be in 120 years. Now let's look at verse.
12.
And God looked upon the earth, and behold, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me, for the earth is filled with violence through them, and behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
You know, if we understand a little bit.
About justice in this world, we see that justice is gone.
In many ways, and it's going faster and faster.
And we see the need of justice and people are crying out for justice.
Do you know here God looks down upon the earth and what does he see? He sees violence and corruption. That's what characterized the world then. That's what characterizes the world today.
Do you know it says here God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me, dear people who Polish themselves up.
You know, you can take a bar of steel and you can hammer it out into a railroad track and it's stiff and it's unyielding. Or you can take a piece of steel and you can make it real thin so it's flexible. You can coil it up, You can make a watch spring out of it, but it's made of the same stuff.
Still, and you know people, they try to fix themselves up.
They try to restrain themselves up, but there's something in their hearts.
Something in their hearts that God looks at, God weighs and he says it's all bad, it's all corrupt. It might Polish itself up, but yet there's sin there, boys and girls, sin manifests itself in different ways. And one person, he might look at that person. He says, oh, look at him, he's a thief.
And that person might look at him and say, oh, he's a drunkard.
You know, boys and girls, one of the first verses I learned when I was a little boy was.
00:20:01
Looking to lip and sending hound EIN coil. What does that mean? What does that mean? That's one of the first verses I learned when I was a little boy, and the reason I learned it was because I needed to learn it.
Lying lips are an abomination unto the Lord.
Boys and girls, why did I have to learn that verse? Because I told lies. Do you think I needed to have somebody to teach me how to tell lies?
No, my mom never taught me how to tell lies. I learned that all by myself. Why? Because there was sin in my heart. Now, do you know God can forgive sins?
But what can he do with a heart that's at enmity with him? All he can do is condemn it, condemn it, condemnation. You know, one time my son went to a place where they had a bunch of sheep. They slaughtered the sheep and they took their livers out. And some people, they like to eat liver. But you know what the meat inspector did with that meat?
The liver, so those sheep, he took a stem and he said U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Condemned. Condemned. Condemned.
Oh, that's solemn, isn't it? Boys and girls as we are, we stand condemned before God.
That song do you know someone as well said that the blood of Jesus Christ.
Cleanses us from our sins, but the death of Christ separates us from our old selves.
And that's what we need. That heart of ours we need to know.
Salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ. And here we find.
In this portion here.
A way made for those who were condemned.
Condemned.
Verse 14 it says make the anarch of Gopher Wood.
Rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shall pitch it within and without with pitch, and this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of. The length of the ark shall be 300 cubits, the breadth of it 50 cubits, and the height of it 30 cubits. A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above.
And the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof with the lower.
The second and third stories shalt thou make it. Ah, here's the answer that we were looking for.
That ark was made with three stories and I believe in a picture. We can say that the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ made him the ark suitable for boys and girls and men and women today. Have you come into that ark? Here we find.
And behold, I even I do bring a flood of water.
Upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life from under heaven. And every living thing and everything that is in the earth shall die. But with thee will I establish my covenant. Then thou shalt come into the ark, thou thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons wise with thee.
And of every living thing, of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark.
To keep them alive with thee. And they shall be male and female, a flower fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind. Two of every sort shall come unto thee to keep them alive. And take thou unto thee of all the food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee, and it shall be for food for thee and for them.
Thus did Noah according to all that God commanded him.
So did he, do you know there was not only the ark prepared with a three stories in the ark, but there was something that was on the side of the ark and I want to ask you what was on the side of the Ark that we read about?
Let's see if I can find it.
00:25:05
Verse 16 What is it there that was there on the side of the ark?
What boy or girl can tell me when you see a figure of Noah's ark? What do you see in the side of the ark?
What a window. Well, you see that too, but I'm thinking of something else. What do you see in the side of the art?
But a door, That's right. There was a door. You know, we might know our need of the Lord Jesus Christ.
In coming to God. But there was a verse quoted yesterday and I love that verse.
First, John 417, I think it is. It says we have seen, known, and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world. It's a more wonderful thing to know that God gave the Lord Jesus Christ, that I might be saved through him. Oh, if he gave him.
And I couldn't be saved by him. What use would it be for me?
If I couldn't have him as my savior. But that's the purpose that God gave the Son. That was the purpose that the ark was made for so that souls could be saved. And so he had a door built there. And if somebody says, you know, there was probably a gangplank that went up into that ark. And Brother Blount one time, he said.
And all the animals went up the gangplank under their own steam.
Boys and girls, the ark is there, the ark is the Lord Jesus Christ, and through his work he furnished a place for all who would enter in, or he entered in. Well, it says the next verse, Chapter 7. And the Lord said unto Noah, Come thou in all thy house into the ark.
For thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
You know, the invitation was given and every other translation of the Bible that I have looked at, Spanish translation, the German translation, Mr. Darby's translation, it puts it a little differently and that's the reason I said that that verse, those that obey the God, not the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
It's not only an invitation, but it's a command. Go, thou and all thy house into the ark.
Ah, why are you sitting there in your sins? Why when God commands you to go into the ark, go into the ark, You know there's another verse here, it says.
I'm looking down the chapter and I'm looking for a verse.
It says that God shut him in. The Lord shut him in.
Verse 16 And they that went in went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him.
And the Lord shut him in.
Oh thank God, the Lord takes care of every contingency for us. We may say, we may look at ourselves and say, well, I've sinned after I believe and I'm so careless. But all it says the Lord shut him in all what blessedness that is. What blessedness it is that the Lord takes care.
Of everything in that ark, safe in Christ, we sometimes sing. The weakest child stands in all God's favor. Oh my friend, the question for boys and girls to day is, are you in the ark or are you outside of the ark? Are you sheltered from the blast of judgment that you righteously deserve?
A judgment that God cannot change in any way. Or are you sheltered, safe in the ark? Now, boys and girls, I'd like to tell a little story, and I've never told it before, and I don't know exactly how the story is going to come out, if it'll come out just right.
00:30:13
But bear with me, this is a story about some missionaries.
That went to New Guinea to live among the headhunters.
Do you know those headhunters were a depraved people? If you please, They were to the limits of depravity in all its manifestation.
This missionary went there and.
He built a house in the wilderness there. Do you know those natives? They.
They like that because he traded them axes and machetes and matches for their work.
But do you know these tribes? They were always warring with one another.
And their treachery knew no bounds. They had a saying amongst themselves that says.
What you do is you befriend your enemy, you make friends with your enemy, and then you fatten him up and then you kill him and eat him.
Can you think of something that is more awful than that?
Oh, how sick that was to the missionary. But these natives, they just wanted to be friends. They didn't want the missionaries to leave. They didn't know what to do. And the missionaries thought, how can we preach the gospel to these people? There's no way that we can tell them of the love of God so that they would believe it.
They sought to tell about the Lord Jesus and His love.
They told about how Judas betrayed the Lord Jesus and sold him for 30 pieces of silver and they thought, oh, Judas, he's a hero. He betrayed the Lord and then he got his death. Oh, how to praise those people were they were enemies, Enemies both of God and one another.
Missionary. He was almost in despair, he said. I'm going to leave.
Because you know what was happening, the tribes moved closer to this man and they wanted to trade with him day after day. But sometimes when they saw each other, what would they do? They would shoot arrows at each other and they would run at each other and throw Spears at each other. And sometimes they would be wounded and they tried to kill each other because in times past they hated each other and they would take revenge on each.
And they would butcher and eat each other. That's how sad, how sick Satan had taken and turned them against each other.
So this missed this missionary, he says I'm going to leave because I don't want to be the cause of you killing one another. He said. Oh, don't leave, don't leave. We need you. The missionary had been giving them pills and had fixed up a lot of diseases among them and they were prospering physically.
But he says it's no use. They were getting ready and they were taking revenge on each other.
And So what did he do? He got ready to leave and one of the natives says.
We're going to make peace. We're going to make peace. And he says, how can you make peace?
One with another you might make peace for 5 minutes and then you break the peace and you are at each other again quarreling with one another, and there hardly seems to be a way that you can make peace.
Says, well, we have to do it in only one way. We have to give a peace child. We have to give a peace child. And the missionary said how? What do you mean by giving a beast child? He thought, well, maybe they might have to, they make a sacrifice or something.
He says no, you watch and see what happens.
Saw these two warring tribes, they came together on opposite sides of a big hill.
And pretty soon they became very quiet.
00:35:04
And then one man, he took one of his children, his little ones, and he brought it. He was going to the other tribe, and he was going to give that child to the other tribe.
So that there would be a relative there at that tribe. And as he was going his, he started running and his brother and his wife, they ran after him and they stopped him and they said no, you can't give that child. You can't give that child.
So they pulled that child back. There was one man. He had an only son.
And his wife? She wasn't worried because he wouldn't give his only son.
To be make peace between these two tribes.
But do you know, all of a sudden her husband was gone from her side. She thought, where's my boy? Where's my boy? And she saw him running with that boy. And he ran to the other tribe, and he brought his boy to the other tribe. And there was a cry of exultation from the other tribe, do you know?
Pretty soon there was a somebody came from the other tribe with one of their children.
And he brought it to this tribe. They brought it to this tribe. And the missionary saw that there was peace made between these two tribes. They both had to give up a son.
For their tribe, you know, the missionary thought that was something clicked there.
You know, one day he was preaching the gospel.
Of how that God sent his Son the Lord Jesus Christ to make peace. Let us look at a verse in Colossians chapter one.
Verse 20. I'll read it.
And having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto Himself, whereby I by him I say, Whether they be things on earth.
Are things in heaven?
One day, as a missionary was preaching the gospel to these tribes, he saw one of the natives weeping. You know, when peace was made between these two tribes, the mothers, they cried, they wept because they lost their children to the other tribe.
But he saw one of the heads of one of the tribes, the man who had only one eye, who had lost it in a battle with another tribe. This man, he was weeping.
He was weeping.
And he asked afterward why he was weeping, because when the missionary was preaching how that God gave his son into this world to make peace, what did they do with his Son?
They crucified the Lord Jesus.
All man's hatred.
Toward the Lord Jesus Christ was fully showed out there at the cross.
When man.
Crucified the Lord Jesus.
He could see that that man was weeping and he said, why were you weeping so? He says a few years ago.
We wanted to make priests with the jungle tribe. That was a very powerful tribe, he says. And I gave my son to make peace.
And they ate him.
They ate him, he says. There's no peace.
No.
Boys and girls, what did they do with the Lord Jesus Christ?
They crucified the Lord of glory.
But where is he now? He's in the glory there.
And he's saying, no matter what's in your heart of hatred toward me, what's in my heart is love toward you. And now from the glory, the Lord Jesus Christ, he says to sinners, he says, come on to me.
Are you that labor and are heavy laden?
00:40:00
And I will give you rest, Ah, the Lord Jesus.
He's made peace by the blood of his cross and he's in the glory. And nothing of man's hatred toward the Lord Jesus has changed God's mind about it. It's the time. The door, there's a door on the side of that ark. The Lord Jesus Christ could say, I am the door by me. If any man enter in, he shall be saved.
Go in and out and find pasture all. What was it that opened the door?
It was the work that the Lord Jesus did in reconciling men and women, boys and girls to himself. And that work is so satisfied God that he is able. He's able and he's willing to receive boys and girls and men and women. Thank God for that. Shall we pray?
Blessed God and Father.
We thank thee that the Council of Peace.
Between them both.
That there was nothing that we could do to add to that work, Nothing that we could do to turn thy heart toward us.
But that thy heart was toward us even when we were at enmity with thee.
And we bless thee for the Lord Jesus, and we pray our God and Father, that if there be one here.
Who still in their sins, that they might enter through the open door?
That open door that was opened through the work of our Lord Jesus.
We ask thy blessing, we give thee thanks in Jesus name, Amen.
