Turning you by was if you would please to the book of Luke chapter 1 and while you're turning a Lion met a tiger as they drank beside the pool said the tiger. Please tell me why you're roaring like a fool That's not foolishness in a lion with a twinkle in his eyes. I'm called the king of beasts because I advertise a Rabbit heard them talking ran home like a streak. He thought he tried the lines playing but his roar was just a squeak and A fox came to investigate, had lunch in the woods. The moral is, when you advertise, be sure you got the goods. That's why I tell people, I'm just a dumb old Kentucky boy that ain't so very smart. When I talk, I get mixed up. My gears are hard to start. It seems I don't have many brains like other folks I know. And when it comes to society, my dumbness, there I show. But I found it don't take brains, my friend, the best in life to gain. It's not your wealth or what you are or prestige you might obtain. It only takes just simple faith, eternal life to find. No matter who or where you stand, there's grace for all mankind. I went down to the jailhouse once to witness for the Lord. I told them how the Lord saved me. They sure looked mighty bored. They nudged each other and they smiled. They thought that I was dumb. But they stayed in and I walked out when leaving time had come. So I'm still just a dumb old Kentucky boy and I hope I'll always be just smart enough to trust the Lord for all eternity. So I'll just keep traveling on a few brains and not real smart. I'm just a dumb old Kentucky boy with Jesus in my heart. Pastor Muncy, I want to thank you for this opportunity to speak at Landmark Baptist Church and you've been in church about all week. And I hope today is a little crown jewel. You're going to have pinto beans. You can't hardly go wrong with that. And thank you for that opportunity. I have some special people here that I would just like to acknowledge. I have two ladies sitting up with Miss Judy. The one on her right, on my left, was my church secretary over in Lexington for some time years ago, and that's Miss Marlene. And the one on my wife's left, my right, is Miss Priscilla, and she used to do Judy's hair. for a number of years, and they were faithful ladies at Faith Baptist Church. And then my cousin, Billy, back in the back. Billy, if you just hold your hand up. Billy is, I invited him to come, and he said, well, I'm pretty 90% sure I'll be there. And he did. So he gets good marks from me for being here today. Well, it was 82 years ago and 15 days. A kid was born in Winchester, Kentucky by the name of Donald Wayne Strange. I grew up here in Winchester. Miss Judy and I, on the way to church this morning, we went by five different houses that my family lived in. That was just five. That was just coming to church the way we came today. I lived in a number of other places as well. My brother, Larry, some of you remember Larry. Larry came to church here. Larry either succumbed, died out in the parking lot here, bringing his tithes to the church on an off day, or they took him to the hospital and he died there. Larry. I had the privilege of winning Larry to the Lord just a little while before he died. And his word was he was probably bringing his dues over here. When he first told me that, I said, you're what? He didn't know about tithes. You know, there are a lot of things you don't know about church until you get saved and get in church. And he didn't know what that was. And I said, well, no, that's tithes. And a tithe is a tenth. And that's how churches operate on the tithe, and love offerings, and grace giving. And it's amazing how God, you know, there's one verse in Luke 6, 38. It has 40 words in it, 40. The first word is give. the next 39 words explains what happens when you give. "...give and it shall be given unto you, good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, shall men give unto your bosom. For the same measure that ye meet, it shall be measured to you also." When you give, you set God into motion. And that's how Landmark Baptist Church all these years has existed here. It was not here when I was born 82 years and 15 days ago, but I'm glad it's here now. And it has a testimony for the Lord using the King James Bible and believing in soul winning and preaching and trying to make a difference in people's lives. And thank you all for having a part here and doing that. Now, you probably have had the opportunity to find the gospel of Luke. It's just the fourth, third book in the New Testament. And some years ago, it was back in the sixties, there was a guy by the name of Al Primo. He was in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. And he was the head of a TV station, and he was trying to craft some idea, some slogan that would help his TV station, especially their news part, have an interest. They were not number one. And he came up with an idea called Eyewitness News. And that little craft, Eyewitness News, caused their station to surge forward and then they overtook the number one station, Eyewitness News. Did you know that the Gospel of Luke is the Eyewitness Gospel account? Matter of fact, we're going to read that word when I read to you from this text in just a few moments. The Gospel of Luke is the largest book in the New Testament. Now, it's not the largest in chapters. It only has 24. Acts has 28. So does Matthew. But as far as some of these chapters, they're pretty long. And it's a good bit in the New Testament. Luke was a beloved physician. The guy that was known as the father of medicine, his name was Hippocrates, Luke used more medical words in his writings than hypocrisy did in his life. was a beloved physician. He wrote things that's not in the other gospels. For example, he does some miracles, there are about 23 miracles and six of his are not found in Matthew, Mark, or John. There are 20 parables that he tells about 18 of which are in no other gospel. Two of the most powerful parables that Jesus ever told, the prodigal son and the good Samaritan. Those two stories have helped and challenged more people down through the centuries than probably any other stories. Some of you might have had your life transformed by hearing a story, the prodigal son, or the good neighbor story of the good Samaritan. Luke was a beloved writer of the gospels. It's interesting how that Matthew starts out, the book of the generations of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham. Mark says, the beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. John says, when he starts his gospel, in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. But this one, where I had you to turn to Luke chapter 1, is the largest prologue of any of the gospels. Matter of fact, in Luke's gospel, chapter one, the prologue is the first four verses have to do with this. For as much as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us, even as they deliver them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses. there's that word, "...and ministers of the word, it seemed good to me also having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus, that thou mightest know the certainty of those things wherein thou hast been instructed." God wants us to have a no-so salvation. He's not trying to deceive us, pull the wool over our eyes. He wants us to know. And he said, these are eyewitnesses. I'm interested in that word eyewitness, and I was interested in it some time ago. When I was in college, I had to take Greek because of my major, but it didn't affect me a whole lot. But this book has affected me a whole lot. But the word that is eyewitness is the word auto-optes. Now, if you put those two words together, it's a word that you know. Autopsy. You've heard that word? An autopsy. That's what the word eyewitness is here. An autopsy is something where you can go and see for yourself. Opto is optical, to see. Otto is self, to see for yourself. He is saying, I am writing this as an eyewitness account, as ministers of the Word. I want you to know the certainty of those things. Now, of late, the Lord Jesus Christ has fallen on to some tough times as far as the media is concerned. There are a group of people, well, probably every year around Christmastime or Easter, somebody comes on TV or a magazine article and they try to tell you that Jesus Christ that you think that you believe about is not the real Jesus Christ. they say that there are some documents that were older that says that Jesus Christ is not the historical Jesus, the miracle-working Jesus, the Son of God, our Savior that we believe He is. Now what happened, one of those documents was written years ago in the days of the Apostles and they said this is not of God and they laid it down and Now, to show you how slick the devil is, he comes along in our day and someone picks up that document that they said is not true. And they're saying now that, see, there's some things that we found that say that Jesus that you believe in is not the real Jesus. Now, this has been picked up by a group of people called the Jesus Seminar. There's a hundred supposed scholars. Now, you have to understand, a scholar is somebody who agrees with you. See, probably no Republican thinks a Democrat's a scholar. And probably no Democrat thinks a Republican is a scholar, because they don't agree with one another. And so these guys got popular. They had four colored beads. They had a red bead, a pink bead, a white bead, I mean a gray bead, and a black bead. And they would come to a passage in the Bible and they said, now, if Jesus probably said that, they put a red bead in. If they said, well, there's a possibility he may have said that, they put that pink bead in. If they think, well, the apostles of the early church, they embellished what he said, they put that gray bead in. And if they're absolutely positively positive that he didn't say that, they put the black bead in. Did you know 82% of what the Bible says about Jesus they said was not true? Now, I would rather believe somebody who saw Jesus. As a matter of fact, 1 John starts off, for as much that which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled of the word of life. Now, would you rather take the word of somebody who actually heard Him, saw Him, and then looked upon Him and handled Him, or these guys 2,000 years later, probably never saw anything at all anyway. You know, John said, we've seen Him. Now Luke said, when Jesus was raised from the dead, He came and He stood in their midst and He said, I want you to handle me. A spirit doesn't have flesh and bones. Handle me and see he even said to Thomas you can put your hand into my side you put your finger into my hand He didn't need to do that. He just said my lord in my God Jesus is the real Son of God now how these guys got away with this is because right now in America in Winchester, Kentucky, in Fort Myers, Florida. Thank you for praying for us in Florida because of the two hurricanes that came through our state. The climate is right for that kind of thinking. We are in the restaurant mentality of churches today because we're in the entertainment mode. You'd be amazed at how many people go to church today not to worship God in spirit and in truth and in the beauty of holiness, but they go to worship or they go to be entertained. It's in the entertainment, but we have restaurant religion. You deserve a break today. That's McDonald's religion. You deserve a break today. Some people like Burger King religion. Have it your way. You can go, you can have a traditional service, or you could have a contemporary service, or you could have a blended service. Well, what about, what if you want to go to a hard preaching service? or a soft preaching service. Is it possible we could ever get to where you could go to a Jesus service, a Buddha service, a Confucius service? You said, surely not, but don't count on it. People are so deceived today. Now, if you're talking about restaurants, I like the slogan from Wendy's best, old-fashioned, hot and juicy. When you go to a service, you want it to be old-fashioned, Bible-based, hot, juicy. And it's something that'll stir your heart, stir your soul. They're trying to give us a new Jesus, a new Bible, a new gospel, a new church. They're not trying to adjust Christianity. They're trying to destroy Christianity. But I want you to know that the life of Jesus Christ is impossible to believe unless it's true. We are talking about an incarnation which resulted in a virgin birth, in a sinless life, in a miraculous life, a crucifixion, a resurrection, an ascension, and a promise, I'm coming back. How in the world could you or anybody else invent such a life? Further, why would you want to? It's unbelievable unless it's true. Now I'm saying it's true and I'm going to give you an invitation for yourself today, you, to do an autopsy to see for yourself. Went down to where they do autopsies. I was gonna watch one, but I'm glad they didn't let me see one Because I'd have that in my mind. I don't want that in my mind But they told me what they did They do a full external exam They do a full internal exam so that you will know that that person is who that person is supposed to be they check it out So let's you and I do an autopsy on Jesus today. Let's see for ourselves. I Does it make sense to you that if God were to become a man, he would have an unusual entrance into life? You know, without controversy, great is the mystery of godliness. God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. It makes sense that if God were to become a man, he'd have an unusual entrance into the world. Can you be any more unusual than a virgin birth? There was not a woman and a man, it was just a woman and God. By the way, the guy who said more about the virgin birth in the New Testament was the doctor. Dr. Luke had a good bit to say about the virgin birth. He was born of a virgin, and when he was born, for unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And you shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly hosts praising God and saying, Do you know how many angels showed up when he was born? I don't know the number, but I know how many. Hebrews 1 6, and when he bringeth the first begotten into the world, he saith and let all the angels of God worship him. They all showed up. They'd never seen anything like this and they will never see anything like that again. It is when God became man and the angels came and they glorified God. What about the wise men? Not just three, but a large trek came from probably over 1,500 miles. And when they got to Jerusalem, they said, where is he that is born King of the Jews? And Herod said, hey, call the scribes in here. Let's find out where the Messiah is supposed to be born. And they told him he would be born in Bethlehem of Judah. Now, you would have thought Bethlehem of Judah would have had a little sign out front, future birthplace of the Messiah. But they didn't. You would have thought as soon as those scribes heard he's to be born in Bethlehem, Judah, they would have made their little trek from Bethlehem to Jerusalem is about six miles. Would you walk six miles to see God? in the flesh? Would you walk six miles to see God born of a virgin? Would you walk six miles to see Bible prophecy fulfilled? Would you walk six miles to see Him who is salvation? Well, they didn't do it, but the wise men did. And when they found Him, they opened their treasures and presented Him gold, frankincense, and myrrh, and they worshiped Him. If you'd have been standing on the outskirts of Little Bethlehem and would have interviewed those guys when they're leaving. Excuse me. You came from where? They told him. You came that distance? Yes. Was it worth the trip? Now, all they saw was a baby, but it was God. There they saw. Was it worth the trip? Oh, I'd do it again and again. It was worth the trip. Yes. He had an unusual entrance into the world. You would expect that if God were to become a man, he would have an unusual example of life. He'd be different than everybody else. Have you ever thought about Jesus and the spirit world? Now, the spirit world, there are angels, good angels, good spirits, and there are bad spirits. You know, the Bible doesn't use the word demons. It uses the word devil and devils. And it uses the word spirits, evil spirits. And Jesus went into a synagogue. And in that synagogue, there was a man who had an evil spirit. And he said, I know thee who thou art. You're the Holy One of God. Jesus went into the synagogue again. And he said, I know who you are. You're the Son of God. Luke's gospel we were in in chapter 4 he went in and there were evil spirits there that said we know who you are You're the Christ of God Now the Son of God or the Holy One the Son of God and the Christ of God, how did they know that? Where did they learn that you see if evil spirits are were part of that world on the other side of Bethlehem. When the devil was kicked out, he drew a third of them with him." This would be that crowd. They knew who Jesus was on the other side before he was born in Bethlehem's manger. That's how they knew who he was. Now, the Jesus Seminar crowd, they would say, well, they made that story up. They embellished it by saying that this happened he did that no when that happened if you'll read that in Luke 1 in Luke 3 or rather Mark 1 in Mark 3 Jesus said don't tell anybody about this If he wanted to embellish he was to tell everybody about it That's not what he came to do was cast out evil spirits Don't make it don't make mention of this don't don't talk about this How about Jesus and the Selection of the Twelve. Jesus, one day, He chose Peter, Andrew, James, and John, Philip, Bartholomew, Thomas, and Matthew, Levias, and Thaddeus, and also Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot. If you want to deceive somebody, you do not pick twelve people to live with you for about three years. When I went to college, I had some roommates. None of us pushed ourself off as being God because the rest of us would have been proven to them right quick that they were not God. Name a religious founder of any group that ever chose 12 people to go with him all the time so that they could embellish his story. You do not pick people Because they'll tell the truth. I'm sure they went up to those apostles and said, excuse me, but don't you belong to Jesus? Yes. What's he really like? I mean, when the cameras are not on, when he's not in the limelight, when he's not preaching in public, what's he really like? Oh, he's the same. Did they believe in him? They believed in him so much, they argued over who was going to be the greatest in his kingdom. They believed in him so much that, except for Judas Iscariot, He went out and hanged himself. The rest of them gave their lives for the cause of His work, of His ministry, who Jesus Christ was. You don't do that if you know you're following an imposter. You know you're following a liar or someone who is just a mere man. Jesus was with these people. They believed Him. They loved Him. They served Him. They followed Him. What about Jesus and the Sabbath day? You could get killed if you did something on the Sabbath day that was not believed to be kosher in those days. Matter of fact, the Old Testament book of Exodus said they violate the Sabbath day, you kill them. Pretty hard. But they knew what it was. God gave them warning. And when they disobeyed, they knew that they were breaking His law. So they tried their best not to break the Sabbath law. If Jesus Christ were just an imposter, he would not violate the Sabbath day. Jesus went into the synagogue. There was a man there whose right hand was withered. Now, they're watching Jesus to see whether or not he's going to heal this guy. And he said, is it lawful to do good or to do evil, to save life or take it on the Sabbath day? And they wouldn't even answer him. He said, it's okay to do good, it's okay to do life. And he told that man to stand forth, and he did. He said, stretch forth, and he stretched forth his hand. And it was just like the other one. They went berserk. They couldn't help this man, but Jesus did, and he did it on the Sabbath day. Jesus went into the synagogue one day, and there was a woman. She was bowed double. She never saw the sun, daylight, or the stars at night because she's looking at the ground. And he called her to him. He put his hands on her and straightened her up. And it was the Sabbath day, and they went mad. Jesus went down by the pool of Bethesda on the Sabbath day, and there was a man who had been sick for years. And Jesus said, will thou be made whole? He said, there isn't anybody to help me. That wasn't a question. You want to be made whole? Jesus healed him. Now they're wanting to kill him because he did on the Sabbath day. In John chapter 9, there was a man that was born blind. He never saw. Jesus opened his eyes. Nobody ever opened anybody's eyes of somebody who had been born blind. And they said in that chapter, He cannot be of God because He does these things on the Sabbath day. The book of Mark, chapter 2, tells us an interesting thing. This is not a trick question. Think about this question. Which came first, man or the Sabbath? What do you think? Well, I'll tell you. Man came first because he was created on the fifth day. He was created first in the Sabbath days when the Sabbath was made. Man was made in the Sabbath. Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. And the Bible says in that passage in Mark that Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath. He can do what He wants to do on any day He wants. So how are we doing? Standing before yourself, does it sort of sound like He might be God? How about Jesus and the sacred place? Now, Israel is the holy land. Jerusalem is the holy city. The temple is the holy place. And even in the holy place, there was a holy of holies. You did not mess with the temple. You could get killed for that. Matter of fact, they arrested Paul because they thought he had taken a Gentile into the temple. Jesus not only messed with the temple, he cleaned it out twice. He went into the temple when he was a 12-year-old boy. He's sitting in the midst of all those doctors, and he's asking questions, and he's answering questions, and they're amazed. It's like, son, what's your name? Well, on my mother's side, my name is Jesus, Savior of His people. On my father's side, my name is Emmanuel, which being interpreted as God with us. Son, how old are you? Well, on my mother's side, I'm 12 years old. On my father's side, I am from eternity to eternity. I'm the Alpha and the Omega. Son, what are your plans? Well, on my mother's side, I plan to die on an old rugged cross. On my father's side, I plan to raise from the dead on the third day. Son, if we ever see you again, how will we know you? Well, on my mother's side, you will know me by the print of the nails in my hands and my feet. On my father's side, I will be walking in the midst of the candlestick and they will be saying, worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive honor and glory and power. Son, how did you learn about this? Well, on my mother's side, I learned because I was brought up in the synagogue and I learned it at my mother's knee and they taught me the Bible. On my father's side, all wisdom and knowledge is in me. So Jesus, He's the Lord of the temple, too. So He goes into the temple twice, and He cleaned it out. The second time He went into the temple, He walked in, and He looked around. That's all He did, just looked. Now, if I were to stand here for about a minute and just look at you, they'd get a little scary. But that's what He did. He just looked. And He left. And He came back the next day. And he started overturning the tables, chasing them out of there. He said, you have made my father's house a house of prayer, a den of thieves. He saw religion at best was commercial and convenient. At worst, he saw religion that was compassionless and Christless. And he cleaned it out. What would Jesus do if He came to Landmark Baptist Church? Just looked around. What would He see? What would He say, that's got to go. If He came to the church that I had the privilege of pastoring, the one in Lexington, the one in Fort Myers, what would He see, what would He want to, that needs to go. What if Jesus came to my heart and looked around? What would He see and hear that He would say, that's got to go. You got to get rid of that. That's got to be out of here. And that's what Jesus did. You can imagine why they wanted to kill Him. But He came to be the Savior of the world. You would expect that He would also have the greatest example of morality the world's ever known. He's the personification of purity and virtue and holiness and godliness. He is Jesus, the spotless One, who did no sin, ever. But He became sin for us when He took our sin. If you're in some big city in America, just about today, pick the one you want. And most of the big cities have sections that you don't go into, especially at night. How many of you understand what I'm talking about? They have places you just don't know. Your life is in your hands if you go down there at nighttime. Suppose you are in one of those cities, and you made a wrong turn, and you say to your wife, I hope I don't have a flat tire here. We're in trouble. And all of a sudden, pow! Oh, no. And your wife says, what's wrong? I got a flat tire. I'm going to have to change this tire. Now, sweetheart, when I get out of this car, you lock this door. You don't open this door until it's me. And so you open the trunk. You get the apparatus out so you can change your tire. And all of a sudden, you hear some noise. And you look up. And here comes six. big, burly men together. Question. Would you be encouraged at all if you knew they just came from a red hot prayer meeting? Would you go, whew, they're probably going to help me? Why would you feel that way? Because Jesus makes a difference. Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he's a new creature. Old things are passed away. Behold, all things shall become new." Well, he's here. How does God leave here? How does He make an exit? Now, we're talking about an autopsy. We're trying to see for ourselves if Jesus is really who the Bible says that He is. It starts happening quick. All the Gospels talk about it. He's arrested. He has a trial. He's condemned. He's betrayed. He is scourged. He is denied. He is sentenced. And he goes out to what they call the Skull Hill, Golgotha. It looks like a skull. And they take him. Most guys, they have to fight him. to nail him to a cross, but not Jesus. He said, no man takes my life from me. I have the power to lay it down. I have the power to take it up again. He laid it down. And if you're listening, you could hear him. He's praying. Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And then Jesus is hanging between two thieves. And one of those thieves says, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said, today, verily I say unto thee, today shalt thou be with me in paradise. Jesus is on a cross, John's there, his mother's there, and he gives his mother to John. He says, John, take care of her. And then Jesus cried out, I thirst! And then he said, it is finished! And his last one was, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit. And he bowed his head and delivered up the ghost. Now I left one out on purpose. Saying number four is the only saying that's mentioned twice. Matthew and Mark. No other saying is mentioned twice. And this is what it was. Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthanai, which being interpreted, he said, my God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Why did God, the father, and by the way, he usually called him father, but here he says, my God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Why did the father forsake the son? You remember Jesus said, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but I will be done. Some men thought that he was praying that so he wouldn't die in a garden of Gethsemane. No, while he's leaving garden of Gethsemane, he told Peter, put up your sword. The cup which my father hath given me, shall I not drink it? He hadn't drunk it yet. I think when Jesus is hanging on the cross from 12 to 3, 3 hours, eerie, supernatural darkness, and he cried out, my God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? I think at that moment, he's going to drink the cup. The cup that his father gave him, he's going to drink it. Now it's in the dark. Jesus dies with our sins on Him and in Him, and He became sin for us who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. What was in that cup that was so hideous that God turned the sun out? Nobody's going to see this. Sin is so horrific. If you and I knew what sin was like, we'd never do it. We think it's funny. We embrace it. We like it. We enjoy it. If you knew what it would do to you and how you'd end up, you wouldn't do it at all. Jesus, can you picture a huge cesspool in the heavens? And in this cesspool is toxic, filthy, unbelievable, ungodly waste, and stench, and smell, and awful, and rottenness. And all of this big cesspool, all this, and all of it, it's like a funnel. And it comes compressed down into a cup. And Jesus is gonna drink it. He became sin for us. If God would have turned the sun on and people would have seen what Jesus looked like, it would have scared them half to death. He became sin for us. That's when he cried later, I thirst, it's finished. Into thy hands I commit my spirit. He took him down from the tree, they buried Him. And three days and three nights later, up from the grave, He arose with a mighty triumph for His foes, He arose a victor in the dark domain. He lives forever, He is alive. Then He ascends back to the Father with a promise, I'm coming back, I'll be back. How could you invent such a life? It doesn't even make sense. And again, why would you want to invent such a life? And one day John said, I saw the heavens open. Behold, a horse, a white horse. And he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True. And in righteousness he did judge and make war. And on his head were many crowns. And he had a name that no man knew but he himself. And he had a vesture that was dipped in blood." I think when Jesus died and rose again to fulfill the type in the Old Testament when the when the high priest would go in and make application of the blood on the altar. Jesus was our great high priest. He ascended to heaven, make application of the blood on the tabernacle. The ark was there. And I think just before Jesus comes back, it's like he's going to take his garment and just sort of dip it in blood. And he has it on when he comes back, just to show us how important the blood is. And it is very important. Aren't you glad for the blood? There is a fountain filled with blood drawn from Emmanuel's veins, and sinners plunge beneath that flood, lose all their guilty stains. The dying thief rejoiced to see that fountain in his day, and there may I, though vile as he, wash all my sins away. It's on the blood. Philippians chapter 2, let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus who being in the form of God thought it not robbery to be equal with God but made himself of no reputation and took upon him the form of a servant was made in the likeness of men and being found in fashion as a man he became obedient unto death even the death of the cross wherefore God also hath highly exalted him and given him a name which is above every name and that the name of Jesus every knee should bow, things in heaven, things in earth, things under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. Well, I tried to give you a little autopsy on Jesus. You can trust Him. Let's stand to our feet, heads are bowed, eyes are closed. Lord, may Your will be done in every heart and life here in Jesus' name. Pastor.
