I will be fairly safe to sleep very much before nothing.
Boys and girls, I want to ask a question.
Why do boys and girls and older persons sin?
Why do we do it?
Do you boys and girls sin?
Do you sin?
Why?
That's a good question. I want you to think about that a little bit.
But you know, the reason we sin is because we're sinners.
You know you don't get pairs off a thorn Bush.
You don't get.
Apples off an orange tree.
But you know, you get sin coming from sinners, don't you?
That's right.
Who's got another one? This boy. Which one? Do you know which one that is?
Huh #42 well, let's look.

#40.
Jesus loves me.
And she's not a slightly yes, she's my son, she's me.
Trying to smile with me. Yeah, she's not a cloudy, but I won't tell you so.
He's got a lot of seeing you on the mind.
And he went to phase three as well. Way to hold me near near the time.
He's he's safe from everything on.
Let's see, let's let's speak.
Never let you 'cause I have to stop this meeting. Yeah. This means I'm slaughtered in my own campus. In his soul.
00:10:03
Yes, I love seeing my feet still when I very easily can yell right there. Shining and playing sunlight time so much. Be where I live, yeah.
My, my tree. Yeah, she's on the spot screaming. Yeah, I'm stealing. That's not a feeling that I will tell you. So maybe that'll be enough for right now. And we'll just what's the next thing you usually do at Sunday school?
OK.
Right, that's right. We look to the Lord and ask His help.
I asked the question why do we sin?
You know, two weeks ago or was it 3 weeks ago? Can anybody tell me?
What the verse was.
It was found in Psalms 46.
Verse one.
God is our refuge and strength.
A very present health in trouble.
Have you ever been in trouble?
Have you looked?
Well, you know, I was in trouble one time too.
You know, I was going to school one time and I saw a little boy. Well, he wasn't a little boy. I was a little boy and he was a little boy. And you know what happened? He dropped a dime on the playground and I thought, and I took it, put it in my pocket.
Do you think it's OK if you don't get caught?
Did you know that?
God sees everything that we do.
And sometimes we think maybe we can get away with something.
But you know, there's something inside of us that keeps working.
And you know what that is?
Can you tell me what it is inside of us that keeps working?
Conscience. Conscience. You know, I took that dime and I went to the store and I bought some candy with it.
But you know, that night I couldn't sleep.
I was in trouble. Did anybody see me do it?
No, no, I could have got away with it, but there was something working in my in there and I couldn't stand it any longer. And I cried out. Mama, I stole a dime.
You know.
My mom gave me another dime to take back to that boy to try to make it right. But you know, there was something that was done then that day that was another mark against me. A sin. Why do we sin?
Because we're sinners.
And you know something, boys and girls?
God, there was one time a man and his son, they thought they could steal some apples and so they got a wheelbarrow.
And they thought they could get away with it. The neighbor had a nice apple tree and they thought they would get away with it. And so they took this wheelbarrow and they lifted it up and went like this.
You're gonna get caught. You're gonna get caught. You're gonna get caught. You know, the wheel was squeaking and that's what it was saying. You're gonna get caught. You're gonna get caught.
00:15:03
You're gonna get caught. You're gonna get caught. You're gonna get caught. Boys and girls, you know sin is serious. I want to read a scripture to you that's found in Romans chapter 5.
12.
Says, Wherefore as by one man sin entered into the world.
And death by sin and death.
By sin, you know.
You don't have any Gray hairs yet?
But boys and girls, some of us have Gray hairs and some of us have wrinkles in our faces.
Why? Because we're sinners.
We are born sinners, and we sin because we are sinners.
Here it says, and death by sin. So death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.
Solemn, isn't it?
Anyway, these father and the son, what did they do? They climbed up in the apple tree. They pulled the apples down. They filled the thing full of apples. And they all, they were glad they got them. But you know, they didn't know that the farmers was still at home. They thought he'd gone to town and they get away with it. But the farmer came out and he said, you, you've stolen my apples. I want you to wheel them over to the barn there.
And put them in my barn so they lifted the wheelbarrow up.
What did the wheelbarrows say as they were Wheeling it away? What?
No, said I told you so. I told you so. I told you so. I told you so. I told you so. Do you think, boys and girls, that we can get away with any sins? There's one scripture that tells us.
Thou God theest me.
How serious that is. And you know, one time I about, I think it was about.
50 years ago.
I was coming home from work.
And, you know, I saw a police car.
And in the back of the police car.
There was a man who was weeping, He was crying and I just felt so sorry for the man. You know why?
Because he'd stolen something and the police caught him and they put him in the police car and they were going to take him to jail.
What though? We probably stole a lot of money. Yeah, he probably did. Well, I saw that the police had a, a, a case with him.
And so he had to go to jail.
You know, boys and girls, sometimes things happen to us and.
We get caught, but you know, in a way it's a good thing to get caught.
You know why?
Be sure your sins will find you out.
That's serious, isn't it? Just a second. We're going to look a little further.
Says, For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned. After the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is a figure of him that was to come? Well.
Here's the verse that I want, but not as the offense.
So also is the free gift.
Now that's kind of hard to understand, but you know, if God was to deal with us.
After our sins.
What's open to us?
What's open to us?
The jaws of hell.
00:20:02
How serious that is? You know I'm one time bought a car from a man. His name was John Felix Darby.
And that man, I tried to bring the gospel before him and he said to me, you know, there's one thing I can't understand.
And he and he said, you know what it is? It says it's hell. I can't understand that God would send sinners to hell. And I told that man, I said, you know why you can't understand it? It's because both you and I are so immersed in sin. We don't see the awfulness of it, but God sees the awfulness of sin.
And he's decreed that hell is the only portion for sinners in their sins.
Oh, how serious that is.
Boys and girls, you know we sang together. A little child of seven or even three or four may enter into heaven through Christ the open door. Oh thank God, the Lord Jesus could say I am the door by me. If any man enter in, he shall be saved.
Oh, the door is opened. But what did it cost God to open that door? What did it cost God to open that door? Can you tell me? Pardon me? His son's life. His son's life.
Oh, you know.
Man may kick against the penalty of sin, but if God didn't spare his Son.
If God, the holy God, the thrice holy God, before whom the heavens are not clean.
Didn't spare his son so that you might have a savior.
Where is your excuse?
Now here again, but not as the offense, so also is the free gift.
You know, that's quite a statement. So also is the free gift. You know, there was a man one time walking through the woods and he came to a place and there was a spring of water and there was a man standing there, free water, free water. But you have to buy a penny cup. Was it free?
Was it free? No, it wasn't free. You know, there was one time a Danish boy, he was raised in Sunday school and he had different ones saying are you saved?
You know, it bothered him, It troubled him. And that boy, he.
Was one time.
He didn't feel his sins and he didn't know whether he could be saved because he didn't feel his sins. And it troubled him and he wanted to be saved, but he didn't feel his sins. And he thought he had to feel his sins real badly. And one time he got on the Street car and there was a man who was evidently drinking and he knew he was a Sinner. And that man, he was gone. He was kind of weeping because of his sins.
And this young Danish boy, he said he came to him and he told him. He says, well, you know, the Lord Jesus died for you, the Lord Jesus died for you, and you can be saved by just putting your trust in him. You know the man, he listened, you know he got saved. But you know what? That boy discovered that the Lord Jesus had died for him too, that he could be saved by putting his trust in him.
And, you know, they got off the Street car at the corner and they hugged each other because they were new brothers in Christ. And, you know, there was the pastor's son. He was standing at the corner and he looked at them. He says, my, what a strange thing that is.
All boys and girls, you know if your sins trouble you or if it troubles you because you don't feel your sins enough, I want to tell you.
00:25:04
The free gift of God is eternal life through our Lord Jesus Christ. You don't have to beg God to bring you to heaven. No, God has already made the way open. Thank God for that. You know, there was one time, a little boy, he was raised in a family that went to the prairies in the old days. And this family, the father and the mother, they staked out some ground.
And they work that ground because it was free for them and they started as homestead. But you know the father, he got sick.
And he died.
You know the Mama, she was overloaded. She had to keep on with the farm work. You know what she did? She worked and worked and she got sick and she died and left that boy all alone.
You know, the little boy thought, What can I do? I'm out here alone. But, you know, I've got an uncle in Chicago. And so he thought, you know, if I can get to Chicago, my uncle will take care of me. And so he thought, well, what am I going to do? So he went down to the railroad, and he saw and listened. Pretty soon there was a train.
Pretty soon he could hear the train coming and it went whoo, whoo, whoo.
What does that mean when a train does that?
No, it means that it's going away crossing. And so pretty soon that train started coming into the into the railroad station. And boy, he was glad to see it. It was eastbound. It was going to Chicago. And pretty soon he thought, well, you know, how am I going to get to Chicago? I, I don't have a ticket. I wish I had a ticket. But you know, the station, the conductor as that train stood there.
Just waiting there, people got off the train and they got on the train. Pretty soon he heard the conductor say something. What did he say?
All aboard, All aboard.
Saying all aboard, he says that means me. So he just got on the train and pretty soon the train started off.
Down the track it went.
Pretty soon the conductor, he went through the cars, says tickets please. Tickets please.
People show their ticket.
You know what? They didn't show their faces. They showed their ticket.
You know, boys and girls, that boy, he didn't have a ticket. And the conductor said to him, what right of you to get on this train? Where's your ticket? You didn't buy a ticket. You get off the train, you little cheat.
Boys and girls, you know we have to have a ticket to get to heaven.
But you know, we don't have a ticket.
Unless we have the Lord Jesus. But you know, we have something else.
We have an invitation by God to come.
To the Lord Jesus.
But anyway, this conductor says you get off at the next station.
So the little boy he was felt pretty bad.
He got off the train, but you know, he had to get to Chicago.
And boys and girls, if we're not saved, we'll go to hell. But we need to. But how are we going to manage it?
Again, pretty soon the conductor says all aboard.
He said he said all aboard. He wasn't me. It was him that said all aboard. So on the train he climbed again.
But he soon the conductor came around.
The little boy says, Sir, I don't have any ticket, but you said all aboard. And he says.
00:30:08
I don't know what to do. I have to get to Chicago because winter is coming and my uncle will take care of me. You know the conductor, He listened to his story and he felt sorry for him. But you know, boys and girls.
The Lord Jesus, God the Father, has felt sorry for us.
If it wasn't for that, that God cared for us.
He did. He wouldn't have made that way. Open to heaven. And so we read in the word of God, for God so loved the world.
That he gave his only begotten Son, He gave the darling of his bosom on the altar for you and for me.
He said that whosoever believeth in him.
God doesn't say you have to be good enough, It doesn't say you have to be bad enough, it doesn't say you can fit yourself in any way. All the fitness that you have is God supplied through the precious blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Thank God for the love of God that has provided the sacrifice so that God could be just and the justifier of him that believeth in Jesus. You know that conductor, he felt sorry for that boy. You know what he did? He says I'll see that you get to Chicago, even if I have to pay for the ticket myself.
So that little boy, he got to Chicago. Now I'd just like to read.
A couple of more verses and they're found in the Book of Revelation.
You know, revelation is the judgments of God on this ungodly world, and we heard about it last night.
How solemn it is that God is going to judge this world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained. Boys and girls, you know we don't naturally love the Lord Jesus, but it's not because we love the Lord Jesus that we're saved, but it's because God and His love for us has given the Lord Jesus that we might be saved. Are we sometimes sing that chorus, Little child, do you love Jesus?
I will ask your heart today be your answer what it may all God has loved us and he's made that provision for us.
Because he set his love on us. Thank God we do love him because he first loved us. But I'd like to read 2 verses Revelation.
Chapter 20 I have to find it real quick.
21 verse 6.
And he saith unto me, It is done. I am the alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life. Freely I will give, I will give. Ah, we don't have to buy a penny cup to get to heaven.
Why?
Because we're too poor to buy a penny cup. We're too poor to buy a penny cup. What does it mean to be lost? All it means to be beyond recovery. I can't patch myself up in any way to stand before God, but God says I will give unto him. That is a thirst of the fountain of the water of life. Freely turn the page in the next chapter it says.
Verse 17 And the Spirit and the bride, they come.
And let him that heareth say come, and let him that is athirst come. Are you thirsty?
Well, it doesn't end there, it says, and whosoever will.
Let him take the water of life. Really. Is that free enough? Can it be more free than that? No, it can't.
Our salvation, boys and girls, is of the Lord. He's made the full provision. And you have an invitation. Oh, that's your ticket. The grace and the sufficiency that is in God is your ticket. You show that? Do you show that to the conductor?
00:35:20
You'll be let through. Jesus died that you might have.
Life. Jesus died to put away your sins. If you come to Him just as you are, with nothing to pay, He'll take you to himself because he's invited you. Did he make a mistake?
No, the Lord didn't make a mistake. Oh, thank God. Sometimes we wonder, did he make a mistake? But no, he didn't make a mistake because he raised the Lord Jesus again from the dead. And the Lord Jesus is now in heaven. And was he saying to boys and girls?
Come on to me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Maybe we have time for a couple more hymns.
Do you know Do you know the hymn?
With that.
#19.
Let's see if that we know that one.
I think that's a good him #19.
They might all have found and found, and they are alone. The happy sun joy. A high thought song.
Till no one falls now. Now before I cry, shall I start?
I tried the program ancestors for what I thought. What were you saying?
I would like to live in a great place. What happened to me? I was like, where? Now you're not crying. Black rice can't stand.
