Well, just a few words there
for our young people who in every sense are moving this week. You
see, you've moved from there to there and you've got a bigger
move to come this week upcoming. We do really pray that all goes
well and that you feel very much at home very quickly and very
comfortable in your new setting. We'll be praying for you. Well,
what am I going to say? Well, yeah, what am I going to
say? Been an eventful week, hasn't
it? So I want to say this, okay? And I want to say this to all
of us and any who are listening. Life is serious, all right? Life
is very, very serious. Death is serious, very, very
serious. These are weighty, weighty matters. And you know this, the world
out there, is not so well prepared for them. It's not. Hasn't got
the structure, hasn't got the foundation to be able to think
about those things, maybe even prepare for those things, be
there to deal with those things. And we have a Bible, and it's
full, full of instruction about all of those things, the most
important things, the serious things. And it's got it all. All of it's there. And it's there,
we can read it. And hopefully when I preach from
it, some of it makes sense some of the time, because it's all
there. And it's all there, isn't it?
Because in the end, it's all there in Jesus Christ. I don't
know, we sort of go through life, don't we? I fear at times we
daydream. We daydream through life. The
years catch up with us and they do catch up with us. Look at
those now, how many years that I've had and how many years I've
been a Christian. Oh, now there's some years, they're
mounting up. And it's serious. Life is serious. And one day we do, all of us,
have to give an account to God. what we've done, how we've lived,
what we've said, who we were. And the better that we are dealing
with it now, thinking seriously about these things now. Not daydreaming,
not sort of just drifting along through it. Another Sunday comes,
another Sunday goes and came and we had the hymns we have
and we do this and do that and do the other. And then we all
go home and that was it. Oh, I hope not. I really, really
hope not. I hope that I don't kind of convey
that that's what it's about because It's a matter of life and death,
actually. This gospel, Jesus Christ's resurrection, life and
eternity, judgment to come, these are serious, serious matters. And it falls to preachers to
try, to try, to tell you just how serious and important that
they are. I've got a sermon to preach a
bit later on. I'm not going to be able to do
it justice, I'll tell you now. I'm not going to be able to do
my text justice. But whatever I can, let me try
and impress upon each and every one of us that these are wonderful
things in the Bible. And as much as I have within
my soul to be able to implore you, make you peace with God,
repent of sin, and put your faith in Him. Put it in Him. Jesus
Christ, who died on the cross, who rose from the dead, who is
alive for evermore, who reigns and rules on behalf of his people,
the Church, who is blessed thought coming back one day. But this
veil of tears and sorrowing and sighing, the sadness and the
burdens and the griefs pass, and the former things are gone,
and the new heavens and the new earth have arrived. Be there. Be at peace with Him. Be in Christ. Have faith in Him today. Have
faith in Him forever. For He will bear you up. Do you
know that? He will. He will carry you. He will be to you everything. Absolutely everything. So it's serious, it's important,
and it's wonderful, and it's all within reach, and it's all
here in the Bible, all there in the gospel, and it's all there
in Jesus Christ, and I commend him to you. Well, the next hymn
tells us that better than I could. 128. Jesus, the name, high over
all, 128.
