Address—A.M. Barry
DISCLAIMER: The following has been auto-transcribed. We hope it will help you to find the section of this audio file you are looking for.
We will turn to the 4th chapter of John's Gospel, John 4. When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard.
That Jesus.
Made and baptized more disciples than John. So Jesus himself baptized not but his disciples.
He left you there and departed again into Galilee.
And he must needs go through Samaria.
Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Cycle, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
Jacob's well was there, Jesus therefore being wearied with his journey.
Passed us on the well. It was about the 6th hour. There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus left unto her, Give me the drink, for his disciples were gone away into the city under the city to buy meat. Then said the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, ask his drink of me, which I'm a woman of Samaria?
Or the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that says to thee, Give me to drink.
Thy woods have asked of him, and he would have given thee.
Living water. The woman sat on to him. Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep.
From whence then hath thou that living water?
Art thou greater than our Father Jacob, which gave us the will?
And drank care of himself and his children and his cows. He's a fancard. And said unto her.
Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again, but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him.
Thou never thirst, but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
A woman back unto him, Sir, give me this water that I thirst not, neither come hit her to draw. Jesus saith unto her, Go call thy husband, and come hit her.
The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband, for thou hast had five husbands, and he whom thou thou hast is not thy husband in that sense thou truly, the woman says unto him, Sir, I perceive the Thou art a prophet our fathers worshipped in this mountain.
He say that in Jerusalem is the place.
Where men ought to work, Jesus says unto her, Woman, Believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain or yet a Jerusalem worshipped the Father. Ye worship, ye know not far we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews.
But there are cometh, and now is when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth.
The father, sickest, but.
To worship him. God is the Spirit, and they that worship Him must worship Him.
In spirit and in truth.
The woman sat on him. I know that Messiah cometh, which is called Christ. When He is come, He will tell us all things. Jesus doesn't occur. I let's speak unto thee and he. And upon this came his disciples, and marveled that he talked with the woman. Yet no man says, while seeketh thou, or why talketh thou whither? The woman then left her water hot, and went her way into the city.
And said to the men, come see a man.
Which told me all things that ever I did. Is not this the Christ? And they went out of the city, and came unto her. In the meanwhile his disciples prayed him, saying, Mastery. But he said unto them, I have meat to eat, that ye know not of. Therefore said the disciples, 1 to another, Have any man brought him out to eat?
00:05:01
Jesus saith unto them, Mind me as to do the will of him that sentence.
And to finish his work, say not ye there yet four months, and then come upon us. Behold, I say unto you, lift up your eyes, and look on the fields for their white all ready to harvest. And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathered fruit unto life eternal. At both He that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. And herein is that saying true one source from another, reapers.
I sent you to read that whereon ye bestowed no labor, other men labored, and ye are entered into their laborers. And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman which testified. He told me all that ever I did. So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would carry with them, and.
He abode there two days and many more believed because of his own words.
And said on the woman Now we believe not because of thy fame, for we have heard him ourselves.
And know that this is indeed the Christ.
The favor of the world.
Well, I crossed the reading of this.
Portion in the Gospel of John.
Has touched the heart of everyone present.
Because it has brought us into the presence.
Of that one I desire to speak about tonight.
The Savior of sinners, and more than that.
To be brought into the presence of that savior.
As one who is seeking.
The lost sinners.
For the way the Lord thought and found that poor woman of Samaria.
Is the very way that he is now at this time seeking.
When any left out of Christ in this world tonight is the same Savior, I know His in glory. His sojourn here on earth is over. He's a glorified man at God's right hand. But beloved friends, that one who is seated on high in the glory.
Is the Savior of sinners. This very night in which we have we're presenting the gospel of God's grace.
The chapter opens with the fact that the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John.
There, though, Jesus himself baptized not but his disciples.
You know, people haven't changed so much as we might suppose from those days for many centuries ago.
For the subject that they were.
Falling about and disputing about as the subject that occupies so many today.
That is the subject of baptism, and they were all wrong. They were trying to form a party, a party for Christ.
Against the party forward on the Baptist.
Remember an old brother saying one time you could be in a meeting where everyone was about half asleep? You could just say the word baptism and everybody would wake up?
Well, how true that is. People like to have something that will.
Start an argument.
Oh we have those who know that want this form of baptism and another this mode of baptism, but I believe as far as the Lords interest is concerned, he's about as little.
Connected with those arguments as he was there in this chapter that we have read, the Lord just left.
He left them to wrangle it out among themselves.
00:10:03
And he went out and searched.
Of a poor weary center. I'm not discrediting baptism in any way, beloved friends, the marvelous truth. And when we read that as many of you as have baptized under Jesus Christ were baptized unto his death, therefore we are buried with him by baptism unto death. But like this, Christ was raised from the dead for the glory of the Father.
Even though we also should walk in newness of life. What a marvelous truth. And when that is presented in power and unction to the soul, I'm sure the Lord is with the message that gives us to walk in that newness of life and to see ourselves dead and buried with Christ in baptism. But the mirror argument?
Is very offensive to the Lord.
And his interest is far remote.
From all man's arguments and speculations.
So it says he must needs go through Samaria.
I am over my desk where I write a profile map.
A Palestine. I like to look at that map and think about the wonderful history connected with it and the wonderful events that are yet to take place in that promised land. The one thing that.
Came to my mind thinking of that map of Palestine.
With the location of this city of Samaria sacred right in the mountains now there was a much easier route the Lord could have followed. He could have gone over to the Jordan and followed the more or less of the level country up to Galilee.
But it tells us that he must need to go through Samaria.
That rough mountainous country, Oh, they didn't travel on paved roads in those days with wonderful.
Cars like we travel in never read of the Lord writing, but on one occasion that was the assent of Jerusalem. The Lord walked all those miles as He went through Samaria that day, and He chose that rough, mountainous country for a very special purpose.
And what was the purpose? Why does the Lord take that journey?
It was to meet one poor, weary, miserable, unhappy center.
And one of a race that the Jews would have nothing to do with a despised Samaritan. And more than that, this woman was an outcast of the very people to whom she belongs.
Because we find there at high noon, at the 6th hour at the well alone. Or at least he went out when there were none. None of the women of the city had gone out to draw water.
Nor the customary time to draw water in those eastern lands was in the evening, and I believe the reason she went out at high noon in the heat of the day.
Was because.
Her life.
Her wretchedness as a Sinner.
Had made her an outcast of society.
So she shunned the face of man.
The marvelous truth, friend, the one who shunned the face of man because of her sins and wretchedness, God is accompanying with a blessed Son of God.
What wonderful grace, beloved friends, can we ever measure the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ?
Indeed, the apostle says, ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he were rich, yet for our sakes he became poor.
That he, through his poverty, might be rich.
00:15:02
I think one of the marvels of marvels, what we have presented to us.
And the Lord is there, sitting on that well, waiting for the arrival of that woman. He knew she'd be there.
He's waiting to talk to her and the winner heart for himself.
To think of a creator of this vast universe.
To think of the one who was the brightness of God's glory and they express image of his person.
And indeed, the one who, though sitting on that whale weary, fired with his journey, was upholding all things at that very moment, by the word of his power and all, to get in company.
With a poor outcast of society.
Does it not tell beloved friends?
That there is no Sinner to great.
For the blessed Son of God, and there is no Sinner whose condition is so bad.
That the Son of God is not in love and in grace, seeking to win.
That poor heart for himself.
We find the Lord didn't perform a miracle to quench His thirst on this occasion. In fact, we never find the Lord performing a miracle for His own ease and comfort.
He might be the multitudes by multiplying loaves and fishes.
So that 5000 men beside women and children were fed there in the wilderness.
But when the Lord was hungry, and the devil suggests to turn stones to bread.
He gave an answer that we may well consider. He says man shall not live by bread alone.
But by every word that cometh out, proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
And it was the will of the Father that he should go through this world, just as you and I go through this world.
Taste all its sorrows and trials and grace and disappointments. He went through it just as every other man passes through.
This sad, weary world in which we live.
So he asked drink of this woman and you know friends we're we're seeing the true winner of souls.
And since we have perhaps more slave believers here tonight.
I think it's quite instructive for us to get the true soul winner before us.
The Lord didn't say anything that drove that woman away.
Even when he reached her conscience, he didn't get her conscience so bothered that she just fled away because of her sins and her and her guilt. But he says, go call thy husband and come hit her. Oh, isn't that lovely? Isn't that beautiful?
That though he was reaching her conscience and making her realize her terrible state and guilt, yet he would win her heart.
To come right into his presence.
Well, the Lord didn't take up some subject that was mystical beyond her comprehension and understanding.
He just talked to her about what was there before him about the whale.
Now we can just picture it, beloved friends.
There was an indifferent woman, miserable of course, wretched in their sins.
But coming there.
I suppose without any thoughts of eternity over here after just to get a hug, a pitcher of water to carry to her wretched home and her wretched existence.
00:20:06
There in Samaria.
And the blessed Lord is.
Going to find some entrance into that dark, sinful heart of that woman. Let's trace carefully the means that he took.
The fine entrance.
Into that heart so far from God.
So he starts talking to her about the whale. He says give me to drink. Wasn't that lowly Grace?
Think of the creator asking one of his creatures.
For a drink of water.
My beloved friends, let the Savior that I would seek to.
Direct your thoughts, your heart's affections too. Here's a knife, one soul lowly.
They're willing to take a drink of water, asking a drink of water.
From one of his four the United Preachers.
Ruined with the horrors and wretchedness of sin, or else I know we may look with contempt on a character like that.
It's only God's grace that has kept any of us from scooping so low in sin. We have nothing to boast of, friends, even if we haven't got to the very bottom of the ladder, so to speak.
It's only His grace that has kept us because those things that we see in her heart are in your heart and my heart.
I believe it was Tennyson said these words every heart when tested well.
Is a is a plot of warmer dust mixed with cunning sparks of hail. Well, he was, in a poetical way.
Thing what a said in the 17th chapter of Jeremiah, where it tells us that the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. Who can know it? And we get the answer I the Lord, search the heart, I try the rain all those things we see the murderer going to the.
To the gallows, our friends, murders in your heart and mind. The only reason we haven't committed murders. Perhaps the strength of the laws made us afraid.
To perform the deep.
And solemn, isn't it, to think what's in the human heart.
But all the grace of one that can meet the need.
Of one whose heart is so corrupt and so bad.
Swell the Lord.
In grace converses with this poor soul and you know the first thing that.
That caught her attention.
That interested her in this stranger.
Was his condescending grace. She'd seen lots of Jews in her day and time, which he'd never seen one like this stranger.
So she says. How is it?
That you were being a Jew.
Were the *** drink of a woman of Samaria. That's the thing that surprised her.
Beloved, isn't that the way the Lord leeches the hard heart of the Sinner? So hard and impenetrable that seems that nothing will ever eat or touch it. It's His wonderful grace.
It's the goodness of God, you know, we're told in Romans 2 That to lead us to repentance that will accomplish what nothing else in all the world would ever accomplish. 10th verse Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God and who it is, accept to thee, give me to drink.
00:25:02
Thou wouldst have asked of him.
And he would have given the living water.
What a marvelous statement that was of Jesus, and I believe, beloved friends, that.
That verse contains the whole gospel, if thou knew us.
A gift of God. For the first time she brings God. Before this poor sinful Samaritan. Thou knew us the gift of God. And what is there is the sun, till thou is the vast of Him. And he would have given thee living water. There is the Holy Spirit.
There is the Trinity.
Well, what is God's gift?
Beloved friends, the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
But what is that eternal life? Well, the Lord tells us the 17th of John, He says this is eternal life.
That he might know, that they might know thee, the only true God.
And Jesus Christ, whom thou has sent, my beloved friends, the gift of God is Christ.
What a gift.
God is offering.
So this for a sinful world.
We read in John 316 for God's Soul of the World.
That he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him.
Should not perish, but have everlasting life.
That's the gift of God, friends.
Gave his only begotten Son.
Think of God.
Giving his son to this poor lost world.
Sending him into a world of sin and sorrow.
Sending him from those heights of glory.
Into this world of woe, knowing why it was before him.
And then when there was number remedy or guilty man.
To give him up to that shameful death of Calvary's cross.
Our friends, when we think of what God's gift is, it's something so marvelous.
That is just beyond us to think of what God is great love is offering a poor sinful man. He couldn't.
Bestow a greater gift, could it? God had only one son, and yet He gave the darling of his heart.
For a sinful man. And then he says, And who it is that saith unto thee?
Give me the drinkers, the blessed Lord himself Hood is.
Oh how important it is in this day of.
Of every effort being made to dishonor the person of the son.
To get hold of who it is.
Satan, your nose chief effort is to dishonor the person of the Son. But you know the Lord Jesus says, if you believe not that I am he.
He shall die in your sins, and whether I go, he cannot come.
It's an important thing to lay hold of Who that one, that blessed one that was there.
On that, well, talking to that woman really was.
Who it is?
So we as we think of His Majesty, His glory, His greatness.
His eternal existence. Then we think of him, a lowly man, a man that was nailed to the cross, a man that went through those hours of darkness, forsaken of God.
That's the man, friends, who it is, and that's the one that's addressing sinners, who it is that says to leave. You see, it's a personal matter between the soul and the Savior.
00:30:08
He is addressing the soul of the Sinner. That is the way he.
Bring salvation to the heart of any lost one. He addresses the Sinner personally.
Who it is that says unto thee, And what is the way to enter into?
This blessing, how is possible for one to receive to present?
This gift of God that comes right from the heart of God.
To the center says if you'd asked of him, he would have given thee.
If God's gift is the Son who were bestowed.
And if through him that that gift is receiving all the parts the Sinner has to do.
With that marvelous transaction is just to ask of him.
Have you asked Him for it? Is there anyone here that has never had to say to that blessed Savior?
About his lost condition, his need as the Sinner, well, if all it takes, you see, is just to go to him personally.
You know, there's lots of men that are.
Reaching through the land that would despise having a little audience like this. Wouldn't think it was there, worth their time.
The priest do a little handful of people.
Oh no, they are too important.
They are got letters behind their names, their famous evangelists, their got their pictures everywhere, their herald all over the country they must have found.
To expend their efforts and their energies upon.
But how wonderful. Beloved here is the Son of God.
Creator of the universe talking to 1 lone listener.
And you see that all through this beautiful Gospel of John, the chapter just before.
The Lord is talking to Nicodemus alone here, the woman of Psychor alone. In the next chapter, the 5th chapter, you have the Lord addressing.
That man at the pool of Bethesda alone. And then?
In the 8th chapter when they brought in that woman and they all fled and left the Lord.
We find the Lord alone with that woman, and in the 9th chapter the blind man whose eyes were open when Jesus found him in the temple there.
Another one along with Jesus.
I wonder if there is any year that has never been alone with Jesus.
Oh, yes, they. You mean that you want me to wait till I get home? No.
No, no, right here you can be alone with Jesus. You can closeout every other subject, every other person, every other thought, every other interest, and just have a little conversation in your soul, in your inmost heart with that Savior of sinners. And I can tell you if you do, Prince, really from your heart.
The matter will be a subtle matter.
You will find that you are saved.
Where no one ever had to do with Jesus.
In that way that didn't get the salvation of their soul.
Well, the woman asked the question. Quite a question.
Says, Art thou greater than our Father Jacob?
Which gave us the well, and drank thereof. And felt, And his children his talent.
That was quite a question, wasn't it?
Art thou greater than our father Jacob, when you think of all the descendants of Jacob?
Why? We have made history for the world, haven't they?
They got a wonderful history. There isn't a country that hasn't the Jews there phrase their history back.
00:35:01
They descended from that man Jacob. So when we look at history and when we consider.
All that the Jews have accomplished in the world.
And we could say walk there yet to accomplish.
We might ask the question ourselves.
Art thou greater than our Father Jacob?
Or else if you compare man with man, of course.
To consider that humble man there on the well with their father Jacob, while there was no comparison at all, was there?
Well, there was the question.
We're all friends, no wonder. And the beauty of the answer? That's what is precious to the heart, as we consider it.
Here's the answer. Do you know when the Lord answered the question? He didn't give a direct answer that would satisfy the intellect. He gave an answer that reached the constants that went home.
To the soul. Here's the answer.
13 First Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again, but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst, but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a will of water springing up into everlasting life.
All the answer was meeting the need of her soul.
Lord didn't put up any argument as to who was the greater. He didn't say well, just the idea of thinking of Jacob compared with the Creator, well there's no comparison at all, but no friends on all. The Lord didn't answer in that way, He just.
Replied in a way that gave that poor soul to realize that there was nothing in this world that would satisfy.
The longings of her heart.
Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again.
And how true that is.
The world is trying desperately to find something that would.
Satisfies of hunger of their poor empty hearts, and they never find it.
That's why these millionaires, when they make their their.
Immense fortunes and get everything just like Mr. Young.
The head of the New York Central system after he got everything his heart could wish in this world with any committed suicide.
If things of this world satisfied of the heart, why, surely he'd be a satisfied man.
But he didn't satisfy.
Well, the Lord brings in then.
The true answer to the need of the soul. But the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
Beloved friends, everyone here and everyone in this great world has a soul.
Soul us to live for all eternity.
And the things of this life, the things of this world, will never satisfy.
The longings of that soul that's destined to live through eternal existence, but the Lord, and only the Lord Jesus, God's Son, could tell of water that would quench the longings of the human heart.
The water that Jesus gives.
Satisfies.
Every longing of the human heart but you see.
The woman still was in darkness of soul.
Or all she can think about is her life of misery in this world. And she says, give me this water that I thirst not neither come hit her to draw. She'd like to have that which.
00:40:01
Would favor the embarrassment and the trouble of going to that will that's that's wonderful.
Well, that's just a way with people if they can get something you know for to help them on in this world while they grasp for it. I told sometimes about.
About years ago at a political rally they had in Clinton, KY, county seat of the county where I was raised.
The political One political party gave a free dinner.
Their advertised all over a free dinner.
Well, you know, the whole county. Turned out they had the place in the center roped off for.
These sandwiches and drinks they were going to serve and this mob broke through the over the ropes and soon the tables and benches and everything they had there were scattered held their skeletons, a free meal, a few sandwiches.
Well, that. Isn't that the human heart though? Or if it had a gospel meeting announced there, how many would have come out to hear the gospel?
And yet for one male, while the whole county would turn out and be so ravenous that.
They broke up the whole thing.
Oh, how sad it is, isn't it, beloved friends? And how it rejoices your heart and mind think.
That though we were no better and were so prone to ever taste of that living water.
That God in His infinite grace won your poor heart and mind.
So that we have indeed drunk of that living water, and our souls have been satisfied.
What a privilege we have this morning sitting down to remember that Blessed One in his death.
Is there any place, friends, in this poor world compare to that place where we could remember that Blessed One?
In his death.
Well, the Lord speaks of.
In connection with us subject of a will of water springing up into everlasting life. And that's what happens when you accept this gift that God bestows. You get that that well of living water.
Uh, within and it springs up, that is, it springs up in worship.
Adoration to the one who has loved you and given himself for you.
All beloved friends, if that well of water is active in your soul, that will be the result. In your soul it will be praise and worship that Blessed One who loved you so much.
Well, the Lord in answer to this question.
He says give me this water. The Lord says, go, call thy husband and come hit her.
Well, that was the way the Lord used to reach her conscience, for she says I have no husband.
The Lord says, Thou hast well said, I have no husband, for thou hast had five husbands, and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband.
That is, he revealed that she was just a poor, adulterous woman.
Now the conversation changes completely.
No more is she talking about getting water to satisfy the present first. Down here she's occupied with higher subjects than ever she's been occupied with before. She says, Sir, I perceive the power of prophet.
Because she discovered that this stranger there.
That the will was one that knew all about.
Her sinful life.
And for she thinks of him as a property. Of course he was a prophet.
He was a great prophet indeed, but he was much more than a prophet. John was much more than a prophet. How much more of the Son of God?
00:45:06
Prophet, priest, and king. But all friends, what charmed your heart and mind more than any other title that he so rightly bears is that he was the Savior.
Well, the first thing that this woman thinks of when her conscience is reached and she finds herself in the presence of one who knew about her, her sinful life. Oh, she was posing to be all very fair, respectable creature, I suppose.
Know the heart likes of the disease folks around us.
We like to oppose as being much superior and better than we actually are.
But when you get in the presence of the Searcher of Hearts, there's no use to try to pretend we're something we're not. He reveals the real state of her poor spindle heart.
But she makes the same effort.
That thousands are making today.
To prove that her religion is the right religion.
Oh yes, he says. Our fathers worshiped in this mountain. Gee, faith in Jerusalem is a place where a man of worship.
Oh yes, she jumps for religion.
Remember, her old brother Potter used to make this remark. He said that religion never saved anyone, but it had damn thousands.
And I believe it's true. Just as in the case of this woman, before she could be saved from her sin, she had to be saved from her religion.
Well, the Lord gave some wonderful thoughts and connections.
With reason and Jerusalem.
He tells us that Jerusalem is the place that God established, but he also tells us that the hour was coming when neither at Jerusalem they were to worship the Father. I have a feeling that this woman understood.
What the Lord was talking about much better after the Holy Spirit came and she had that well dwelling in her.
From abroad and I rather agree with it.
I wouldn't say that.
Positively that when Philip went down.
To a city of Samaria and preached Christ.
That it was this very city. Because I believe it says he went down to the city. I believe that's the correct word, the city of Samaria.
See the Lord save this one poor woman. And she went out and told the people in the city to come see this man. And when many believed it because of her words, and many more believed because of Christ words. And then Philip came along and reached the whole city.
And there was great joy in that city.
Oh yes, there were many wells of water springing up into everlasting life before the whole story is told out in connection with God's grace to this city of Samaria.
Well, this conversation leads this poor soul.
To make.
To ask to tell the Lord that they knew that.
Messiahs was coming.
I want to just call attention to this.
That those Samaritans had a little bit of God's word. They only accepted, I believe, the five books of Moses. But that was God's word, wasn't it? And in that portion of God's word there was a plain promise of the Messiah. I will raise up prophets like unto me, Him shall ye hear was written by Moses.
Fireless isn't the beloved friends how God can use a little bit of his word wherever and word as found in this poor world of ours. A little bit of his word. She has a little bit of his words and it was just this she knew it massage was coming.
00:50:08
Perhaps he was venturing to ask a question. Could it be possible if you were that one?
Transcendent Jesus says I that speak unto thee of He. It was all settled then, wasn't it? As soon as those words were spoken by the Lord Jesus, she had accepted it, or she didn't hesitate, and her heart was so filled with delight that she went away into the city.
He says come here man, which told me all things that ever I did.
Is not this the Christ? And that's reeling that battle, all the arguments of man, a chained soul like that man that Brother Wakefield was telling about last night, that poor old drunkard. And the same now sitting enjoying the things of Christ and in his right mind, friends.
What reasoning can ever produce?
An explanation.
What took place?
We visited him, I'll tell you what he said. He said they used to call me old drunken date.
He says Now they call me Preacher Dave.
Well.
Walter made the change in that poor Sinner.
He got his eyes on that man, that man Christ Jesus, friends.
Come see a man. Well, that's the gospel that we're seeking to present. Come see a man. It doesn't come get to know something about this religion or about this religious movement, this evangelistic campaign. No, come see a man. Get your eyes on Christ.
The whole that wonderful Savior, he is a Savior on high in the glory.
This very moment, friends, and I can tell you this if you see him by faith.
Now and here someday you're going to see him with these very eyes of yours. I don't like these pictures of Christ. I think they're all the imagination of man I believe that God has reserved.
A wonderful surprise for his own and I know they're not true friends because it says when we see him we shall be likened if we had seen the real picture of Christ.
Well, we wouldn't be here. We could get a real glimpse of that as He is really with these mortal eyes of our gaze on the face of Jesus.
We be transformed into His very image. Oh, it's marvelous to have to do with the Christ of God, beloved friends.
And one would just say this again. He's presented though, for the eye of faith.
We see Jesus as the apostle Paul. That's the that's the eye of faith and you can look right into that glory by faith and see the very one who hung on the cross and suffered for sinners here below. You can see him wearing the crown have glorified up there and you can receive him this very.
Night by faith in your heart.
