Gospel—A. 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.
And chapter Zechariah. And he showed me Joshua the high priest, standing before the Angel of the Lord.
As Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.
And the Lord said unto Satan, The Lord rebuked thee, O Satan, given the Lord that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuked thee.
Is not this a brand plus out of the fire now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments and stood before the Angel and he answered and stake on the rolls that stood before him, saying.
Take away the filthy garments from him.
And unto him he said, Behold, behold, I have caused.
Wine Iniquity.
Prepared from thee, and I will close thee. Where change of raiment.
And I said let him set a fair miter.
Upon his head.
They set a fair miter.
Upon his head.
And clothed him with garments.
And the Angel of the Lord stood by.
And the Angel of the Lord.
Forecasted unto Joshua saying.
What that the Lord of?
What Father walk in my ways?
And if thou will keep my charge?
Then thou shalt judge mine house.
And shall also keep my court.
And I will give thee places to walk among them that stand by.
Hear now old Joshua the high priest.
Thou and thy fellows.
That sit before.
They are men wonder that or the margins pass. Men are fine or tight.
Men wondered for behold our.
My parents, the bank.
For a writing picture.
We have the Lord of friends.
Of the Sinner.
In his raw condition.
Where is a man that clothes with filthy garments?
But he's standing in the presence of the Lord.
Standing before the one.
Who is able to save him?
For us, the salvation is there waiting for Him.
Uphold forgiveness and pardon is right there for him to receive.
But we're also told.
For patients.
Standing at his right hand to resist it.
Well, often marvel.
When they hear the gospel preach time after time.
And pay terror setting under the sound of the glorious message of God.
Raise salvation.
Let him go on and reject that message.
What all its wonders and blessedness?
Are presented to them.
When set on tourists.
Are offered for them to receive.
And then one wonders Hill.
I think that one club a lesson, two such warnings ever found in God's holy Word, upcoming judgment.
And when you stop to think of that judgment, it's eternal.
We read all of it for judgment.
We leave the other hell of which God blessed One says.
If I RIP by hand the pen to cut it off, it is better for thee to enter into life having one hand.
00:05:04
And having two hands to be cast into hell fire, into the fire that never shall be quenched.
All think of eternity, friends in outer darkness, set out from all the redeemed.
Where the memory of lost opportunity.
Again, I say 1 wonders how anyone could ever leave.
Or reading while a warrant so solemnly of judgment to come and go on in their sins.
Born as Christ rejecters. How can it be explained?
They seem so out of reason.
Painful to think that for a few years of pleasure here that men will risk on eternity.
In a lost eternity from which they can never.
They can never escape or leave.
Is there any explanation for thoughts here? Quality as we see men going on and on and rejecting the offer and getting nearer and nearer to that eternal destruction and perdition that await those what to reject the offer of God's mercy?
There is an explanation and we get it here. And what is it?
2nd is standing at your right hand to resist you.
And this audience?
I can tell you that Satan is right at your right hand.
And he's going to do all in his power tonight.
Take you from accepting the gospel and getting the salvation of your soul.
When Satan has no inferior being.
If you turn with me to the 28th chapter of Ezekiel, you'll get a little description there of Satan there incorporated in the history of the teen of pirates.
Have we lived in?
Password Son of Man take up a Lamentation upon the King of Pirates.
And fair to him thus praeth the Lord God. Thou thou sealest that the sun pour wisdom.
As perfect in duty there has been in Eden the Garden of God.
Every precious stone of thy covering are not.
About those different codes. But in the 14th verse Tharp the anointed cherub that covereth, and hath set thee soul.
Upon the whole and mountain of God, thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
That is perfect in all our ways from the day that thou was created.
Hell iniquity was found in the 17th verse. Thine heart was lifted up because of our beauty. Thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness.
We learn, dear friends, from that scripture that Satan was once the most.
6000 Of all the creatures of God.
That he fell.
He lifted up with pride. He wanted you set the place of God.
And Paul? He had abysmal and awful fall, but remember it.
That when that creature wants so beautiful all marvelous fell. He followed it forward.
And he's hearing that power, that wisdom to ruin your soul.
And to drag you down.
Enter sin away from Christ.
Down the road, that's going to end him.
In that awful place.
Where that was prepared long ago for the devil and his angels.
Satan, standing at his right hand to resist it all things will, ought to tell you something more.
00:10:12
Drawing strength to resist whatever they.
That holds the world in his grip.
For he paid in law, and John if personal, that there the whole life in the wicked one.
We see on every side the result of Satan's all his power over for the rooted tall man.
And they they were called, that the God of this world hath blinded the minds of them that believed not, lest the life of the Gospel of the glory of Christ through the image of God, to shine unto them.
Or awful, terrible.
The OR the enemy of your precious soul. But again I say thank God.
There is one who has defeated that enemy.
Oh God, there's one that's stronger.
When Satan himself, mighty as he is.
What glory creature that fell?
And such power and such worsen that is using soul.
So fallenly in this world.
As one, what has defeated him and now can defeat all thoughts.
Can the warrior crisis fall forever from his dominion?
We want to learn friends, before we close this meeting.
Something of that glorious one who has defeated Satan.
And by grace.
All precious wonderful for can hold it straight. Here's efforts to ruin your soul that you can leave this call tonight if you have never known forgiveness and salvation.
Child of God.
The level from the power of Satan brought to know Christ.
Fasting in Him as your Lord and your Savior.
I will learn something more about Joshua here.
It says now, Joshua.
Close with filthy garments.
Very last, just the picture.
And a Sinner in his sins.
You know, friends, we need to get a view.
Of what we are in God's Christ.
We can appear very.
Warriors have before men.
Right, let's just see how God sees us.
In our last condition.
Often think about your life.
Would you like to have all that you have ever done put up on a screen on this wall here for everybody to look at?
I wouldn't.
I think I want to get out of this hall as fast as ever I could.
Some of that would turn pale, Friends. All our sins were.
Put on a screen to be left at.
That you think those sins are hid from the eyes of a Christ telling God?
That cannot behold iniquity.
It fall under his eyes.
He sees every sin that was ever committed.
All things that no one knows about are all known to him.
Often when God paints a picture.
He doesn't hate the prospector. God doesn't deceive.
Sinners like Satan is deceiving man. Satan would make you think that you are a very respectable man, respectable enough to escape hell and get some way to heaven.
And the word of God exposes God and his lost condition.
He saw him just exactly what that condition is.
It tells us in the air.
00:15:01
17th chapter of Jeremiah. That the heart is deceitful above all things.
And desperately wicked poking north.
Maybe all those things have never come out, but they're there.
And then the next verse of I, the Lord search the heart. I try the rain.
Our friends, if we get into God's presence and see ourselves.
And pardon.
They're going to realize that the only place that God could have.
Send us in that condition is all of His holy Presence into a lost eternity upon which we could never return.
You know, friends were not only lost sinners, their hands against God, we sinned against Christ.
All these years.
That were closed in filthy garments.
That some people say, well, I think I'll improve my ways.
I'll turn over a new leaf.
Oh, there's a lot of money to the poor.
I'll do a lot of.
Good deeds and for us to serve Lord.
So what does God think of all such works when?
We are offered as a means of our salvation.
Do they better our conditions for who did start in because they were like their kids? Who said that the whole Lord I give the half of my books to feed the poor. That's a lot of illness.
Half of this is to feed the poor.
But will that change our conditions? Will that make us any cleaner? Will that make us any more fit for heaven?
Let me turn you 2 of the 64th chapter of Isaiah for a moment.
The 6th pop chapter of Isaiah and the sixth verse.
For we are all an unclean thing.
Hello carefully and all our righteousness.
Are AS50 rank.
With filthy garments.
We're explaining the pair of the picture of a Sinner in his fins.
In the 64th chapter of Isaiah.
We did. A picture of the fair flowed in his selflessness, his righteousness. Felt that for his good work.
All his arms.
All money that is given to this Church of our church.
All he has paid the preacher.
And the.
Paid out two different orphanages.
Everything.
That a Sinner could do.
For help on humanity.
For what is God say about the whole thing?
How is the man clawed that flowed in his self righteousness?
It falls on his clothes, in filthy garments, in filthy legs.
If there is any advantage whatever, why it would be in the man that slowed the filthy garments because they would at least cover his nakedness. But filthy Reds are even worse.
Forestry Plain.
Let all the good work that the Sinner could can he ever do.
Over and leave him exposed to his wretchedness and as it were, in an absolutely worse condition than that poor drunkard that's lying there in *** **** because the man who is cursing to his self righteousness.
He's harder to reach.
Like the Pharisees.
That rejected the Lord.
The downright.
Corrupt Sinner like Republicans and the harlots.
00:20:03
You know, scripture is very plain, friends.
About.
Better good works will save the soul.
We read in Ephesians 2 That by grace ye are saved.
Through faith.
And that not of yourself.
It is the gift of God.
Not of work left any man to vote.
Why should anyone think that his good work would save him?
When there is a scripture that pauses as plain as Word can express it.
That it's not a work.
Lest any man should vote.
Open. I thought there's none here that are crossing to their good works.
For their salvation.
But thank God there is a remedy, no matter how healthy the garments may be.
No matter how many filthy rags.
Poor self-righteous man.
May be wearing God has a remedy.
For the condemned, they defiled the Jetty serum.
We read in our chapter here.
The Lord's pattern for Satan.
No, they.
And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him.
And unto him he said, Behold, I have called thine iniquity to pass from thee.
And I will flow thee with change of raiment.
Isn't that beautiful in that lovely dear friend?
They hear the blessed Lord say, take away.
Filthy garments from.
So as we were saying that if you had all your sins put on a screen there for this audience to look at.
We couldn't stand to have such an experience as there.
But how wonderful when one says take away.
All those sins out of my fight.
Our beloved friends.
That blessed One, who shall take away the filthy garments from him.
Can take away out of your life.
Every sin.
That you have ever committed.
Oh, what a wonderful.
That is forgiveness.
40,000 he says to Joshua and I have called thine iniquities to pass from us.
Open the one who are seeking here, the one who is saying take away the filthy garment.
As a one who has a perfect right.
He'll forgive.
And pardon the guilty.
In May, when the Lord Jesus Christ was here among men.
As a man let down through the roof one time.
A poor pauses man.
And then Jesus saw their faith. He said, Son.
Thy sins are forgiven thee, that they were those there that said, Who is this?
That forgiven sins often.
And then here thy blessed one, to show them that he had the power to forgive sins, He said to that helpless man, Why pick up thy bed and walk?
Hoping who he was.
And that he had thought to forgive us, and to deal a poor sin.
Then there was a woman that came into the house with Simon the Pharisees.
And let the defeat of Jesus was.
His blessed peace.
With her tears.
And Jesus said to that poor woman, Thy sin.
Which there many are forgiven. And Simon the Pharisee, he says like those others we're Speaking of, who is this that forgive us?
00:25:04
And Jesus said to that poor woman.
Why faith has praised.
Gall in peace.
Although it didn't diminish her sins.
He said there are many. I thank God, he says they're all forgiven.
They didn't say that you are cares of repentance for the reason your sins are forgiven. What did he say?
Thy faith has saved me.
War and Peace.
Hello friends as I look on your faces tonight.
Am I looking in the faces of Ellie?
Or not yet trusting in Christ.
As a personal failure.
All may you live very nice.
Accept that Blessed One.
Who is able to forgive and to cleanse you from every stain of sin?
May you put your?
End him this very night.
And then you 2 will go away in peace.
It won't be because of any good works that you've ever done but it simply will be simply because you came to him as a poor lost and ruined Sinner.
And accepted him as your Savior by faith. That will be the reason.
As it ever sends that blessed.
Wonderful failure was the one who has the right to forgive.
And it's cleanse the guilty sinners.
And a reason, friends, he can forgive and cleanse the guilty.
Is because he was the one that went to the cross.
And took the heavy load of our sin.
And as the Scripture tells us that he was wounded for our transgressions, his rules for our iniquities.
The testament of our peace was upon him, and with his stripes we are healed. Let me invite you to the cross of Calvin.
And there learn why.
He has a right.
To forgive your sins.
Film in the Garden of Gethsemane.
Therein struck deep agony of soul pleading with his Father that was.
Was dropping down as great drops of blood to the ground.
There is entreaty fallen if it be possible.
This cup passed from me.
And I have friends. You think that if there's been any other way than the cross to have faith?
Lost man, that God the Father, after those pleadings there would have let his Son suffer as he suffered on that cross of shame.
Well, the question is to answer the question, no.
You know, my friends, with God himself.
God, who loved his beloved Son with an infinite love, that one that had done all His will and it was His perfect delight, could find any way in this universe.
To save lost and perishing man, but to let his Son go on and suffer there for you and me. You think that any man is wise enough to find another way than the cross of Christ?
To save his soul from hell.
Oh, how absolutely foolish.
What quality to consider that if God couldn't find another way, their parents, any creature of man, any creature here could find the way that he could be saved apart from that cross.
All our friends, they must go to that cross.
And it did go to that cross.
All think of him when they took those blessed hands.
That walked what wonder here below that had beckoned the bread to feed the multitude, and heal the sticks, and cuts the deer to raise the little.
And the cruel hand of man.
Male God's blessed hand to that cross.
And their feet that had trouble that land from Dan to Beersheba and further throughout fallen creatures.
00:30:11
To bless them.
All cedar nailed to that cross and there he's lifted up.
And the surging crowd joins in mockery.
For three long hours.
At last they sit down and watch him there in his agony.
When God is at work, that's in.
He survived.
Let man show what he would do. A man showed to the full limit.
His patriot toward God. Now God says, I'll show my love to your poor guilty sins.
And friends, the heavens will die.
And alone in that God.
That awful transaction of our sins was settled between a fallen God.
And his beloved son.
It was when it was there that he was wounded for our transgressions.
It was heard that he was good for our iniquity.
But our friends though, they could see that pace once more and more than any mind.
After the scourging and the crowning, the thorns and the mockery and the suffering as He hung there, But when he became a sin, there no more life be held His anguish.
Old friends that he endured.
No one can. Ever.
Describe or enter into.
But we can never bless his marvelous results of what was accomplished there be that redeemed company singing his praises.
That new song have God worthy.
Because I was slain, and have redeemed us of God by thy blood.
Because I have immense cost me of the redeemed there.
Singing the praises of the Lamb. And you know, friends, a little of what he must have suffered there, as he bore the sins of all that untold multitude that are there, singing his praises and glory.
Yes, thank God.
He can say take away.
Left healthy garments from.
Has he taken away all?
God will suspend.
If he has, he's done something more for you, beloved friends and Hot Press.
Esau and I will clothe thee with angels of raiment.
That's a lovely.
Was therefore and it suggests the line of things that run the awful scriptures.
You know when Adam and Eve had sinned in the Garden of Eden.
At present the Lord God makes hope of skin.
And clothed Adam and his wife.
That is, God clothe them with that which necessitated the death of an innocent victim. Fight for the Lord Jesus. Indeed, here we have a change of raiment.
And in the.
2nd of Matthew where we have the king making a marriage for his son. We find that the king provides wedding garments for his yes.
As the same subject, the guests that came to that marriage didn't have to bring there the clothes that they were to wear for such.
Grand occasions was all provided by the King himself and each went into that festive hall flows in in the wedding garment.
And then another place we find it, when the prodigal returns from the far country, and the father has received him and welcomed him with a kiss of reconciliation, He says to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet.
So when that particle went into the father's house that was filled with music and songs, he didn't enter that house.
00:35:07
Where there is red.
Or where he had been feeding the swine in the far country, and all he entered the father's house was the very best led the father himself could provide.
And what do you think a lot of friends that are those coats of skin, the change of Raymond, the wedding garment and the best role breast event.
I'll tell you what they represent.
They represent the Lord Jesus Christ himself. I know from God's word, for I read in First Corinthians 1 and 30 it it fell there, and of him are ye in Christ Jesus.
For God is made unto us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption.
Of him are ye in Christ Jesus.
Every believer in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Is in that blessed one before God, and Romans 8 and one tells us there is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus.
Oh, what wonderful grace, beloved friends.
He takes away all sins that go filthy garments from you.
And then he closed you, as it were, with the very best lobe of heaven.
It's so marvelous for us.
To to.
Take in, although we can't believe it.
That a poor, vile finish.
Oh, that's only fit for the the blackness of darkness.
Can be changed in a moment.
And the just as fit for heaven as the Lord Jesus Christ himself.
That someone says that's a lot to say.
But it's true.
And where is it true? Belonged to friends?
See the one who has accepted you, the Lord has done any more in his lost rule and conditions. He doesn't see him that way at all. God feels the one who has accepted Christ as Savior.
I have said have clothes.
In that best world, in other words, he sees injustice. Exactly.
As he sees his son, in whom he is found all his delight.
And then he says, and I said, let him set a fair miter upon his head.
All that means that he is brought into a priestly service, into priestly dignity.
For we're made after we're saved the Kingdom of.
Faith unto our God and Christ, all the dignity that the believer, when he has faith, is brought into.
Then we have this.
And the Angel of the Lord protested unto Joshua, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts.
If I was walking my ways, as you say, if you were walking my ways, I'll take the filthy garments away. Why? They were already taken away.
And if thou will keep my charge by then I will reduce Satan for you. Why? Satan was already rebuked, and he was delivered from him from other subjects.
When thou shalt also judge my house.
And thou shall keep my court, and I will give thee a place to walk among them that stand by.
Others.
Helpful instructions to every child of God.
Often we were seeking to make it as plain as possible.
That salvation is not, of course.
But you'll find in the words and one thing for that very chapter from which I quoted.
That by grace are you saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, not of work with any man, should boast. We find that in the very next verse it tells us.
And that ye are his workmanship created in Christ Jesus unto good works.
00:40:06
It's just like this. We don't work in order to be saved. We work because we are faith.
And what wonderful privileges are presented?
What rewards are offered?
For a little service for our Blessed One.
Who has delivered us from our sins?
And the.
His presence.
Or it's described here.
As I will give thee a place to walk among them to stand by.
Oh dear. While their ancestor in Christ.
A little suffering for Christ.
During his reproach for a little while down here brings eternal gain up there.
Oh, they all.
It has been estimated.
Don't think of what the Lord is offering.
Little faithfulness to him in this poor world where he was cast out and rejected here below.
And then he goes on to say.
And here now, old Joshua the high priest, thou and thy fellows that sit before me, For they are men wondered at.
Although I mentioned that in the margin it's.
If the signs are tight.
Well, if one is.
If one is walking with God.
Following the one who saved him.
Speaking to your follow, that blessed One who suffered on the cross to save him, he becomes a testimony to others in this world.
Over a lot of friends here desire to.
To serve.
Pressure Savior who died perfectly free.
Well, you just go on, just like we're instructed here. Here's the air, the voice telling.
That one who had these Celtic garments removed?
That if he would fall on in their ways of the Lord.
That he would be a testimony for him.
All this Consider that carefully and prayerfully, beloved friends.
That what God has the asking of you and me.
Isn't all a lot of work?
You get the boasting about that.
But there's that within the reach of every child of God.
That will make him a blessing.
And the youthful for His blessed Lord and Master, and is simply quiet crystal obedience to His precious words. We can all do that, can't we? Or that a child can be obedient to the Word of God.
And the lot of transactions are the greatest testimony that was ever offered in this way of sinners. The world takes notice of one that's obedient to the Word of God.
They can't explain it. They find the same God of power and the joy and something the world knows nothing about, and it becomes a testimony to others.
Although his Closings beloved friends.
Find all that faith in.
As resisting this gospel that has been presented to you.
He is begging to keep you from clothing in.
For this wonderful offer.
That has given you of salvation.
Oh, let me just ask the question.
Who are you going to listen to?
As this meeting closes.
Satan is telling you right now as you sit there. Not tonight.
What is the Lord Jesus tell you?
He tells you, behold, now is the accepted time. He says behold, now is the day of salvation.
Taken care of all you can be far greater success in the world as you go on. Like the world. Don't listen to that kind of talk.
00:45:05
It is your opportunities you wouldn't have the advantage of.
That you have if you went on like Men of the world.
Are you going to listen to that friend? Are you going to take the advice? All that enemy that's going down to that place that was prepared for him?
Or are you going to listen to the voice of Jesus?
And what is he saying to your soul tonight? Oh, he says, Come unto me all. Is it label?
Under heavy Laden.
And I will give you rest.
Well, let me just entreat you in my Savior's name.
Listen to the voice of Jesus.
Expect the invitation as he says.
Or that, doesn't it, Precious belotted friends, Doesn't it wonderful to think that God's beloved Son is just entreating you this very moment?
On his word and now in the glory, we hear his voice again saying, Come.
Hold on to me and you can come to that Blessed One this very moment. You could have the whole thing settled for time and eternity between your soul and Him.
Right in your heart, without leaving this room, without leaving that seat, you can just talk it all over with the blessed Lord. You can just tell him, yes, I know I'm a poor Sinner, but you can say, Lord Jesus, I do expect Thee as my precious patient.
