is this one on so can I move up and down? It's all good, it says it's all good, good, wasn't sure. Let's pray. And so, Lord, we thank You for the privilege to be here this morning.
I pray You will guide my words and thoughts that they will bring glory to the Lord Jesus Christ. I pray that here alone will be seen. I pray that believers will be encouraged and sinners will be converted, that they will come to know Jesus as the Lord and Savior. Thank You Lord.
In Jesus' name, Amen. All right. I have power points on the message this morning on 50 slides. My daughter said, Oh, 50.
You can't do 50. I said, no, I used to go until 1.30, so it's all good. Not true. So, as you can recall, if you have been here the last time I spoke was sometimes in August.
And I said, let's talk more about Jesus and let's leave COVID behind because everywhere I go, it's all COVID, more COVID, more COVID. Very little instead of Jesus. And so COVID seems to have taken over lives. So, like my little boy, I said, he's praying for COVID to be banished or crushed.
So, I joined him in his prayer, crushed. So, and the last time I spoke, I spoke on Jesus today, what is Jesus doing today? So, today I'm going to continue on the theme of Jesus. Yeah.
All right. And I'm going to talk about the whole demand. We will probably not finish today. We'll probably not finish the next time, but we will start.
I've been in Canada for almost 30 years. I've been to movie theater just once because I was dragged in. Remember that movie called The Passion of Christ? Somebody bought the ticket and said, you must go.
The email you must go. I said, all right, let's go. It was interesting to watch. So, I want to talk about the Lord Jesus Christ, the pathway of his passion.
And hopefully you will be blessed. My goal is to help you to think more about the Lord Jesus Christ and to think more about the Bible. Jesus deserves our attention and deserves our worship and our praise. And so, the life of a believer must believe in the life of the Father Jesus must be central.
And all that we do. And so, hopefully you'll be blessed this morning as we speak. Now, this song, some of you are familiar with this. Again, I lent this in North America.
I didn't know it in Nigeria many years ago. King of my life, I crowned thee now. Thine shall the glory be lest I forget. The composer of this song did a fantastic job.
Fantastic job. Because the Lord Jesus wants to be remembered. And he wants to remember in a certain way his death on the cross. That's how he wants to be remembered.
The less I forget that phone crumb roll lead me to Calvary. The less I forget that I've gone in. The less I forget that I love for me. Lead me to Calvary.
The dangerous thing to forget God's love and to forget the thing that Jesus went through so that we might be free. Oh, this was supposed to be one question at a time, but it came in altogether. So, we'll take it that way. I think they converted it to PDF.
Right? That's what happened. All right. So, I don't want to be the only one talking.
So, I want you to participate. And here we go. The first question. What was the most common title that Jesus used for himself?
Son of Man. Savior. Which one? For this one they say right answer.
Sometimes they are not right answers, but this one has one. So, now go back. So, check it out. At least 32 times in the gospel in Matthew he refaced himself as the son of man.
At least 26 times in Luke he refaced himself as the son of man. At least 10 times in John he refaced himself as the son of man. And at least 15 times in Mark he refaced himself as the son of man. So, it might work trying to find out what that means as an assignment for you.
Okay? The second one I was hand a book on Sunday is what was Jesus dying wish to the disciples? What was that? Spread the gospel.
That was the reason wish. But it was a dying wish. Do this in remembrance of me. It doesn't want to remember in any other way apart from death.
Always make sure you do this. So, unfortunately, that many churches have relegated this to non-activities done. It's a tag on once a month. So, we have all this worship that goes on.
But we forget it's dying wish. Which is do this in remembrance of me. So, it becomes a tag on. So, I hope you don't forget because it takes us back to his death.
It gets more fun. How many trials did Jesus face on the way to the cross? Is he right on side? Two.
Students of the Bible. Remember, it says not the book's Bible. So, how many trials did he face on the way to the cross? Don't be afraid to be wrong.
There are no past marks. I mean, I'm trying to jog your memory so that you will get back to Scripture. Three, somebody said three. Two, somebody said two.
Five, somebody said five. Seven, somebody said seven. There's only the right answer. And the right answer has not been mentioned.
One. All right. So, I'd like to suggest to you that there were six trials. Six.
And I'm speaking to them on the trials of the Lord Jesus Christ. Because I suspect that's something that we don't pay close attention to. How long was the time between Jesus' arrest, trial, and crucifixion? Just a ballpark timeframe.
How long? How many days? How many months? How many years?
How long was the time? How many? Did he say five days? Okay.
There's also a relative right answer to this. So, it's not open and bound. So, it's bound, you know, some agreeable bound. I'm getting you engaged.
This is good. This is good. We'll get to the message. Don't worry.
I wasn't going to finish. So, less than it. Of course, it's less than it. That's accurate.
Yeah? Nine hours. Roughly. Yeah.
Nine, nine, nine, 12. Yeah. All of those kinds of answers are more reasonable. Yeah.
I thought it was less than nine, but I read something that made me adjust a little bit. I would say, I would say, I would say between nine and thirteen. I would say that. Now, I'd like you to think about that.
Somebody's arrested and within nine hours is crucified. Let's talk about justice and our rights and how we fight for them. So, this is why it's getting interesting. It's arrested and within nine hours is convicted and crucified.
So, less I forget that love for me. Less I forget that agony. It's the last one. This is also interesting.
I'd much like to have all the answers for this. Why did Jesus have to go through trials instead of going straight to the cross? Great answer because it is written. It is written.
Yeah. Yeah. To prove his innocence. The plan was this for me.
I'm sure there are answers. Now, these questions are meant to joke a memory. You've done most of the preaching. Thank you.
So, let's go on and then make sure you remember them because I will probably come back to them. Death. Jesus, constant companion. Nobody loves to talk about death.
In fact, if you were my friend and as we are walking along, I'm talking about death today and talking about death, maybe tomorrow or day after that, at some point you probably say there's something wrong with his guy. Maybe I should stay away from him. But this was Jesus' constant companion. I put my notes down so that sometimes you can read, sometimes I can say, talk to it.
So, if you can read, that's good. Hopefully you can see. He was born to die. Herod was uptime at the age of two.
You know that. They had to take him to Egypt. Prophecies concerning his death were on his mind. Some 22 were shared a while back.
I believe I said 53 is one of the most rare verses in this chapel. And at 33, most men are beginning their career. You would agree with me even less than that. But he was ending his.
And his purpose for coming is expressed in Isaiah 53. A lamb led to this lot. I have a lot of messages on lamb. So, we are probably familiar with this.
You know, when his mother gave back to him, it's possible. She was thinking of him being a lawyer, a rabbi, or possibly a doctor. Isn't that the most sought-out professions in a land? Lawyers, doctors, engineers, and non-engineers.
I'm not pulling down engineers. So, and parents dream about how my child would become an engineer at the best engineer at the best doctor. Because I would make them something. So, but Jesus didn't marry to keep on the family name, things that we think are so important and so valuable.
He wasn't even there to take off his aging mother who had told her this money. Because death was constantly in his mind. I wanted to think about that. Jesus' constant companion.
I put this verses up for a reason. Jesus spoke a great deal about his death. And he spoke a great deal about his death to his disciples. Before he got to the cross, he was talking about his death.
I'm sure that when Peter, James, and John decided to become his disciples, they first saw him as a good teacher, a rabbi. And later on, the son, he must be Messiah, one who restored the kingdom to Israel. Certainly, they didn't sign up for his death. And you will see that shortly as we read.
So, you see Matthew, sorry, Matthew 16 speaks about it. And then Matthew 19, Matthew 20, Matthew 26. All through this constantly talking about death. And in Matthew 16, following the incident in which Peter refers to Jesus Christ that you are the Christ, the son of the living God.
This is what Jesus did. We read. Now, you will notice today I have lots of scriptures. Because I believe scriptures reading is a good thing.
You should know the word of God and be familiar with it. In fact, if you don't remember what I said, but remember what the Bible says, or the scripture read, that is extremely profitable. So, let's read together, Matthew 16. He said, from that time, after Peter had said you are the Christ, the son of the living God, from that time, Jesus began to point out to his disciples that it was necessary for him to go to Jerusalem and to suffer many things from the elders, the chief priests and scribes and to be killed.
And to be raised up on the thought day. I believe when he started talking, he said from that day, that means the conversation began. When he told the disciples it was necessary for him to go to Jerusalem to suffer many things from the elders, they listened to suffer many things from the chief priests, they probably listened and scribes and be killed. As soon as they heard that, they stopped listening, because he added something else and be raised again, up again on the thought day.
Peter did not hear that one. All he had killed, and yet Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, God forbid, Lord, this shall never happen to you. Notice Jesus' words to Peter, but he turned and said to Peter, get behind me, Satan, you are stumbling block to me, for you are not setting your mind on God's purposes, but me. So, why did he have to go to this?
It was the purpose of God. It was necessary. God had ordained that that would happen. Notice, in Matthew 17, 22, 23, after Matthew 16, and while they were gathering together in Galilee, Jesus said to them, the Son of Man, that title, all of our Bible, is going to be handed over to Maine and they will kill him, and he will be raised again on the thought day, and they will be deeply grieved.
He's talking about his death and he's talking to his disciples. And then he moves on. Jesus again spoke about his imminent death. This is Matthew 20, 17, 19.
You notice, I've spoken in Matthew 16, Matthew 17, Matthew 20. He's not yet on the cross. He's not yet been tried. He's just saying, this is going to happen.
You better be prepared. That this is what's going to happen. Jesus was about to go up to Jerusalem. He took the 12 disciples aside by themselves, and on the road he said to them, Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priest and scribes.
Notice, and they will condemn him to death, and they will hand him over to the Gentiles to mark and flock and crucify, and on the thought day he will be raised. Now I wanted to see the mind and the heart of the Lord Jesus Christ. The future, at least as in the immediate future, doesn't look that great. If I was a disciple and I'm hearing this being dropped in day in day out, I would be deeply grieved, deeply troubled, and they were.
And then two days before the storm in Jerusalem, Jesus again allotted the disciples about his coming death. That's in Matthew 26. When Jesus had finished all these words, he said to his disciples, you know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man is to be handed over for crucifixion. It was in his mind.
And it wasn't because he had done anything wrong. It wasn't because he was guilty of anything, but he knew that there has to be remedy for sin. And he has come to pay the price. So he was thinking about you, he was thinking about me while pondering on this.
It's not happy. What happened? Oh good. All right.
Now we get to Matthew 26. Now when Jesus was in Bethany at the home of Simon de Lepre, a woman came to him with an alabaster veil of very expensive perfume. And she poured it on, he said, as he was reclining at the table. Notice what happened.
But the disciples were indignant, they were upset, were angry when they saw this and said, why this waste? Why this waste? For this perfume could have been sold for a high price, and the money given to the poor. Happy Fume.
He poured it on him. Usually John would say, Judas, Elun was the one that was upset. But yeah, we noticed that everyone else was upset. And they called it waste.
They called it waste. But Jesus aware of this, and they called it waste, and they also said, we really, really, really like the poor. We have sold this, gotten all the money, and taken care of the poor. But Jesus aware of this, said to them, why are you bothering the woman for she has done a good deed for me?
For you will always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me. It's not where we are going to vanish the poor. They will always be around. Okay, so keep that in mind.
And if you want to reach out to the poor, please do. But he said you will not always have me. For when she poured this perfume on my body, she did this to prepare me for burial. He's 33 years old.
His abled body is not sick, and he's talking about death. Will you still follow him if you are in the cycle? I'd like to suggest to you that the disciples had something. They saw something in this man after he had spoken for so many times about it, he had to stop with him and they stayed with him.
There was something about them that made them to stay with him. I'm sure if you look at this message of death, it being proclaimed, you probably say, this is not my future. This is not my portion. This is not the person I want to follow.
Maybe I need to move on and do something else. But they stopped with him and they stayed with him. So truly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done would also be told in memory of her. So once Jesus has spoken about his death so many times, on so many occasions, we've read from March 2, 16, 17, 20, 26, speaking about this incident, this event, many things happened.
There was the last supper. We always remember that. There was midnight in the garden. John Wells spoke on that, the garden of Gethsemane, and Jesus was arrested.
The next event is the trials. I'd like to visit that today. As I said, there were six, and Jesus went through all of them. So I am not going to be able to cover the six, but I will give you a brief outline on the six.
Possibly cover, I was planning to cover four, it's five, after our service, after our service, bear with me. We need to remember a great song again, Man of Surus. What a name. Music is one of the best ways to meditate and to worship the Lord.
And I thank God for the gift of music. I thank God for those who think on these things and are able to translate them into words. It allows us to think about the Lord and to meditate on the Lord. This is one of those great songs again.
It says, Man of Surus, what a name. For the Son of God who came, ruins in us to reclaim Hallelujah. What a savior. Again, I lent it in North America when I should have it.
It's a great song. It's good to know the words and then let it play in your head because the words are very scriptural, and they just remind you of your suffering. Jesus' trials. That's what we want to look at if you have them this one.
So let's have a brief summary of the trials. God before his creatures. There were three religious trials that happened. Jewish.
So the first one was before Ananias and Kairfas was the next one and then the Sanhedrin, or the Council of Elders. The charge against him was blasphemy. Two trials were held at night. This is illegal in the Jewish custom to try somebody, interrogate somebody at night.
But it was done. And not only that, in Jewish tradition, when somebody is convicted, or at least it's brought before a criminal trial, there has to be witnesses, credible witnesses. And before a verdict is written that, the people that are supposed to rent are Vedic, are supposed to have at least two days off. Think about what they've heard, the Sanhedrin, and ponder on it.
And within those two days, they're supposed to be somebody's. They're not supposed to drink, and they're supposed to be resting so that their mind is clear and so that they can have sound judgment. Like we said, the verdict on the Lord Jesus Christ, on that the Jewish construct or the Jewish context was rendered less than nine hours. The two days off, ruled did not apply.
It was sent straight to be crucified. Now, not only that, they were supposed to walk because they have the Jewish Council, the Sanhedrin. Everyone is supposed to vote, and they're supposed to vote secretly. And they're supposed to, the vote is supposed to be done from the youngest to the oldest.
The reason is this, let me speak a little bit of Yoruba alarming, so that the aladbas will not influence the little ones. They understood what I said. So that the elders will not influence the younger ones. That's why the younger go first.
And then the next, the next, they don't want the oldest person to vote, and then all that's all is voted this way. So I have to make sure I don't incur his wrath. So normally the votes are the verdict should be from the youngest to the oldest. The Lord Jesus did not receive any of these.
So there were three religious trials, and there were three civil trials by the Romans. At this time, the Jews were ruled by the Romans, and the Pilate was the governor of Judea, and Herod was the governor of Galilee. So they was trialled by Pilate. Pilate didn't see what was done wrong.
So it sent him to Herod, and Herod didn't see anything wrong. So he returned him to Pilate, and Pilates didn't see anything wrong. But the people were screaming, crucify him, crucify him. And then he had to watch his hand, remember?
And then he sent him to be crucified. So from a race trial on crucifixion less than 13 hours. Now I wanted to think about this, because the Lord Jesus is not going through this because he has done something wrong. In fact, I was reading this morning that this cup of suffering was handed to him by his father, for us, so that he might go through some of this pain.
So let's see, at time. Trial number one, Jesus before an anion. The trial was at 1 a.m. How many co-trials do you know that take place at 1 a.m.?
This was the beginning for the Lord Jesus Christ. Let's read. So the Romans cohort and command us and the officers of the Jews arrested Jesus and bound him and brought him to an anion first. That's how we know it was the first man, the first trial.
For he was the father-in-law of the king of the Christ who was the high priest that year. Now, the king of the was the one who had advised the Jews that it was in the best interest for one man to die on behalf of the people. The high priest and I asked them questions about his disciples and about his teaching. Jesus answered him, I have spoken openly to the world.
I always taught in synagogues and in the temple area where all the Jews congregate and I said nothing in secret. Why are you asking me? Ask those who have heard what I spoke to them. Look, these people know what I said.
But when he said this, one of the officers who was standing nearby struck Jesus saying, is that the way you hand-saw the high priest? Jesus answered him if I have spoken wrongly, testify of the wrong but if rightly, why do you strike me? So Ananias sent him bound to Kiafas, the high priest. So again, this man has begun to trial interrogate him and then we read that together.
Sent him to Kiafas, illegal, this trial at night, sent him bound. Trial number two, around 3 a.m. Most of us are probably snoring, having a deep sleep. Jesus was being cried.
It was being brought to Kiafas because the father had already said that this would be. Let's read. Those who had arrested Jesus led him a way to Kiafas, the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together. Now the chief priest and the entire council kept trying to obtain false testimony against Jesus so that they might put him to death.
The outcome was determined so they were looking for testimonies. They did not find any, even though many false witnesses came forward but later on too came forward and said this man stated, I'm able to destroy the temple of God and to rebuild it in three days. The high priest stood up and said to him, do you offer no answer for what this man had to testify against you? But Jesus kept silent.
Silent as his truth accused, that is online, he kept silent. And the high priest said to him, I place you on the oath by the living God to tell us whether you are the Christ, the Son of God. Jesus said to him, you have said it yourself. Well, I tell you from now on, you will see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power and coming on the clouds of heaven.
In the midst of trial, it's reminding them that the future is bright and that is in control. It's telling them from now on, you will see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power and coming on the clouds of heaven. Then the high priest saw his robes and said, he has blaspheme. What for that need do we have our witnesses?
See, you have now heard the blasphemy. What do you think? They answered, he deserves death. He deserves death.
Then they spit on his face and beat him with their feast. And others slapped him and said, Professor, to us, you Christ, who is the one that hits you? The trial has begun now. They are beating, you're not supposed to be beating a criminal.
Or even if a criminal, a normal criminal, you're not supposed to do that, but it was done to the Lord Jesus Christ. Look for witnesses to put him to death for us witnesses in coherent testimonies. Jesus kept silent. And when you ask him, I say, I place you on the Lord Jesus and say, what I tell you from now on, you will see the Son of man.
3M, illegal trial. Of course, it's closed. I killed Jesus of blasphemy. All concordes of desire to die.
They spat on his face. They slapped him. They mocked him. And they made fun of him.
Silent as his two accused. Why? Have you have come there? Why?
The one who was able to command legions of angels, or legions of demons, who lived somebody. The one who spoke to his comes and said, Posh, be still. And the one who raised the dead. All of these events happened before this event.
He had all the power, all the ability. Yet he put it on their control. Why? Why will he do that?
I'd like to suggest to you, it's because of the love of God. He had you and me in mind, and he knew that it was worth it to pay the price for us. Now let's move on. Hopefully we can get beyond trial number 3.
So now, Ananias, the former Aipris, asked question him and said something to the effect. What are you teaching? Why are your disciples? And Jesus said, I've been teaching in public.
Everybody knows what I've said. Ananias has sent him to Carafas the High Priest, but Carafas had some of his friends around, brought witnesses. And they've testified, none of the witnesses thing agreed. So Carafas, as Tony's close said, are you the Christ?
And Jesus said, you said so, but you will see the Son of man coming in glory. So everybody has retired through their room, that they've beaten him, they spat him, and they did all of that. So now they're going to assemble in the council, where the proper trial is supposed to take place. So this was like pretrials, now in the council.
So Jesus before the council of elders, when it was day, we know, when it was day, the council of elders of the people assembled, both chief priests and scribes, and they led him away to their council chamber saying, if you are the Christ, tell us. But he said to them, if I tell you, you will not believe, and if I ask a question, you will not answer. But from now on, from now on, the Son of man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God. And they said, so you are the Son of God.
And he said to them, you say it correctly that I am. And then they said, what for that need we have of testimony, for we have heard it ourselves from his mouth. Now the proper thing to do at this time was to get testimonies, retire, and have today's break. Think about what they've heard, and then we assemble.
No, that was what was done to the Lord Jesus Christ. He was sent straight to Pilate. He was sent straight to Pilate. Now let's notice a few things.
The council of elders asked, if you are the Christ, the Lord Jesus, and if I tell you, you will not believe, if I ask a question, you will not answer, but from now on, you will see the Son of man. So they asked me, for the Son of God, and he said, he was, and they said, we don't need any more need. So we'll see what they did. The charges against him was blasphemy.
He has blasphemy against God. That's a religious trial, not enough for conviction in the Roman courts. And so what did they do? The Sanidrian took Jesus to Pilate the Roman governor, the accusation of blasphemy never came up again.
They have to fabricate new charges, insurrection, and treason. That's what it is. Silent as it stood accused. Now I'm going to rush this trial before Pilate 6 and 8.
There's an account in the book of John, and I'm mindful of the fact that time is gone. So because I'm mindful, I am going to read, look, we'll come back to John next time. So Jesus before Pilate, then the entire assembly of them set out and brought him before Pilate, and they began to bring charges against him, saying, listen to the new church. We find this man misleading our nation, and forbidding us to pay taxes to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ a king.
Now Pilate asked him, saying, so you are the king of the Jews. He answered him and said, it is as you say. But let's say to the chief priests and the crowds, I find no ground for charges. I hope you've noticed the nature of the new accusation.
It's different from what it was before. But this is what the Lord of glory had to go through. Trial number four, Jesus before Pilate, and what you find is this. When you read the scriptures, the gospels compliment each other.
They feel, you know, some give you more details than the other. When you put all of them together, you get a better picture of what has happened. And so it's always good to read the scripture as a whole. Then they brought Jesus from Kefas into the pre-tournament.
It was early and they themselves did not enter the pre-tournament so that they would not be defiled, but might be defiled. These are people that are hypocrites of the highest order. They are accusing a man wrongly, but they won't step into the romance court so that they won't be defiled, so that they cannot be passed over. Therefore Pilate came out to them and said, what are the accusations that you bring in against this man?
They answered and said to him, if this man was not a criminal, we would not have handed him over to you. So Pilate said to them, take him yourself and judge him according to your law. The Jews said to him, we are not permitted to put anyone to death. This happens so that the word of Jesus, which he said indicating what kind of death he was going to die, will be fulfilled.
So therefore Pilate entered the pre-tournament again and summoned Jesus and said to him, you are the king of the Jews, Jesus answered. Are you saying this on your own? Or did others tell you about me, Pilate and said, I'm not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief, please hand it over to me.
What have you done? Jesus answered, my kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom will of this world, my servant will be fighting so that I will not be handed over to the Jews, but as it is, my kingdom is not of this realm. Therefore Pilate said to him, so you are a king.
Jesus answered, you say correctly that I am a king. For this purpose, I have been born, and for this I have come into the world. Why did Jesus come into the world? He says, to testify to the truth.
Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice. Pilate said to him, what is truth? And after saying this, he came out again and said to the Jews and said to them, I find no grounds at all for charges in this case. No grounds for charges.
Yes, he was judged. So the charges, this is where we are ending. So no one, we are not going to six. Misleventination, he forbade them to pay taxes to Caesar.
How could that be true? Render unto Caesar, what is Caesar? He sent Peter to get a coin from the mouth of the future that they could pay taxes. And yet that was fabricated against the Lord, claimed to be king.
And the Lord Jesus said, for this purpose, I have been born, and for this I have come into the world to testify to the truth. Everyone is of the truth listens to my voice. What is truth? Pilate didn't wait to get the answer.
Why? Why? Why will God allow this to happen? I want you to think about it in your mind and then formulate in a why.
It did not sin. There was no sin in him. He did not harm. But God allowed this to happen.
Why? To fulfill prophecies. That's the first thing. It was prophesied.
If we read the, we read it earlier, Jesus said, oh, we are going up to Jerusalem and all the things that have been written through the prophets, the Old Testament prophets, all the things that have been written through the prophets, about the Son of Man will be accomplished. For he would be handed over to the Gentiles and would be ridiculed and abused and spit upon. And after that flocked him, they would kill him. And on the third day, we write the disciples understood none of this.
And the meaning of this statement was sitting from them. I'm rushing now. So that was the prophecies written in the time pass, but there was immediate prophecy that Jesus gave. In Matthew 20, we read, and Jesus was about to go up.
It says again, before we are going up to Jerusalem and the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and scribes. And they will condemn him to death and they will hang over to the Gentiles to mock, flock and crucify. He said, so Pilate said to him, in John, take him yourself and judge him according to your law. They just said to him, we are not permitted to put anyone to death.
It said this happened so that the word of Jesus, which he said, indicating what kind of death would be fulfilled, because he loved us. That's why. So the love of God and the cause of salvation. So never do you think that salvation is cheap?
It's free to us, but it caused the logic to subscribe something. And so we have to have that in our mind, our response. I'm done. We need to see.
We should find the Lord. We should praise the Lord that the Lord Jesus patience did not expire during these trials. That is to the, he took all of it in because of us. Now I moved through this very quickly.
There's a lot to be said, and all my intention this money was to read the scriptures, just to read the scriptures. But remember, I stopped at four. So there is still more coming. All right.
So let's sing this song. Let me pray. And then we'll sing this song and then we'll go home. Think about the love of God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Let's pray. Lord, we thank you for your son and his willingness to suffer because of us so that we might have freedom and salvation. Thank you for him in Jesus name, amen. All right.
So.
