I said it in Kentucky on Sunday, but God's only as good as His Word. That's what He said. He said He magnified His Word even above His own name. And if God's Word isn't faithful, then God's not faithful. And if every word of this Bible is not true, if this is not God's Word, then there really probably ain't a God at all, Brother Delbert. Because if we can't believe what we've got, how can we believe what we can't see if what we've got isn't right? And I'm glad that's how I know this book is 100% the Word of God. And it's what tells us the only thing I know about God is what the Bible has told me about God. And the Bible says he's faithful, so I've got to go ahead and just believe that he's faithful this morning. And there's times where it doesn't seem like he's being faithful, but the Bible still says he's faithful, and you've got to keep going back to his book and keep reminding yourself that he's still, as Brother Randy talked about, in the bottom of the ship, amen? But John chapter number five, if you would, look with me, John chapter number five, we're gonna bounce around at least one other place. I know John chapter number five, and look with me in verse number 22, if you would. John five and verse number 22. It says, For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son. It's Christ that is talking. Notice the capital letters. He's talking about Himself and His relationship with His Father. Skip down with me to verse number 27 if you would. says verse number 26, For as the Father hath life in Himself, so hath He given to the Son to have life in Himself, and hath given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man. Marvel not at this, for the hour is coming in which all that are in the grave shall hear His voice, and shall come forth, they that have done good under the resurrection of life, that have done evil under the resurrection of damnation. Christ says, I can of my own self do nothing as I hear, I judge. And my judgment is just because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me this morning. Notice we find Christ says several times that the Father is not the one that judges, but the Son judges this morning. Look at me again. I don't want us to miss verse number 22. It's a little bit of a different direction than where we've been this morning. It says, For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son. It is Christ that is the judge. Now skip with me to the book of Revelation chapter number 20. Revelation 20, and we've been talking about how faithful God has been, and I wanna get back to that spot by the end of the message this morning, but I wanna flip it around and just wonder how faithful we've been back to the God that's been faithful to us this morning. Revelation chapter number 20, very familiar verses of Scripture. Look with me in verse number 10, but keep in mind what we read in John 5, verse 22. It says in Revelation chapter 20, verse 10, if you're there, would you say amen? It says, and the devil that deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, which the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night forever and ever." Can anybody say amen right there? And I'm glad that the devil that's fought us this morning, Ms. Christina, is the same one that's going to suffer for everything that he thought we were going to suffer, Brother Delbert. And he's headed to the same hell he tried to drag us to. And I'm glad I won't be there. Amen. It says, and I saw a great white throne, and Him, it's a person that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away, and there was found no place for them. I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God, and the books were opened, and another book was opened, which is the book of life, and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books according to their words. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them. And they were judged every man according to their works, and death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Now go back with me to verse 11. We'll read this verse one more time and we'll move on this morning. It says, And I saw a great white throne and Him that sat on it. Who's sitting on it this morning? We just read it in John 5, 22. It's Jesus Christ this morning. From whose face the earth and the heaven fled away, and there was found no place for them. Brother Jeff, if you wouldn't mind, would you pray for me before I preach? Amen. Well, we find here in the book of Revelation chapter number 20 that none of us are strangers to where we're at. We understand the timeline of the book of Revelation. We understand we believe in a pre-tribulational rapture that we'll be gone. And those of us, one of my favorite things about Revelation 20 is how many times it uses the word dead, Brother Delbert. Constantly, it doesn't refer to them as the lost, it refers to them as the dead. Remember what Ephesians, I believe chapter number 3 said about you and I. It said that we were dead in trespasses and sin, but now we are made alive in Christ Jesus. Aren't you glad this morning I used to be a part of the dead? But then there was a moment when the Son of God stopped by my way. And out of my own free will, Brother Jeff, I chose the Savior. I am the one that chose Him. He already chose me on Calvary, Brother Delbert, but I had to choose to receive Him. Glad that on that day of May 15th of 2008, listen, I was thinking this morning as I was reading about grace, that you might forget the moment, you might forget the time, but you'll never forget the place where you met the Son of God this morning. And I could take you to the exact spot in that field where there was a bell of hay altar where I met the Savior and the Son of God, Brother Delbert. And at that very moment, I was dead. but the Spirit of God spoke to my heart. The Word of God pierced me, cut away the dead spirit from my soul, and now I am alive evermore in Christ Jesus. Is there anybody in the room that's glad that you once were dead, but by the glorious light of the Gospel of the Son of God, it changed your life, and you are alive this morning. What a joy to be alive! And find that we see, we believe that because we've been made alive that when the judgment falls on this world we'll be gone in the rapture. Then we understand the seven years tribulation will take place at some point after we've been raptured out. You'll find that then Christ comes back, sets up His earthly kingdom, rules and reigns for a thousand years, and now we find that after He has conquered Satan, after He has defeated every enemy, we find that everything will be gone. It seems to be that the only thing that will be left standing is a great white throne. One man said it like this, Brother Delbert, that we'll all be hanging, standing on nothing in every direction, and simply hanging on the fact that God said we weren't allowed to move this morning. Think about it, the earth isn't held on an actual axle. I remember I was so dumb in school, Brother Ru, I thought when they showed them diagrams that the earth had a little cylinder going through it, Brother Delbert, I thought it actually looked like a globe. The world is hanging only on one thing, that's God's Word this morning. God is the one that placed it there and on this day we'll all be standing. Those of us that are saved will be on the other side, thank God. But every person will not be standing on ground. We won't be standing on a street of pure gold. We'll be hanging on the Word of God this morning. Find that all that's left is a great white throne in every soul that has ever lived on this earth. Every single person from Adam until the very last baby that is born will be there on this day. Everybody will be in attendance. It's an appointment that you can't miss this morning. We find that in John chapter number 5 we read about Jesus Christ stating and telling you and I. He repeats the word judge over and over again. Judgment, judge, judgeth. Ain't it funny that the God that we say believes in not judging, Brother Delbert, is the one who talks about judging so much. Listen, I don't believe in being a jerk. It's not my job. to tell you all of your sin, how you ought to fix it. Say, Amen. Because we've all got the same mess. But God's Word is the discerner. It's the thing that gives out the verdict of the judgment. Jesus Christ said, listen, the Father is not the one that's judging. It is the Son. It'll be Me. Christ, as He's talking to His disciples and the Pharisees, He's telling them that it is not the Father that is doing any of the judging going forward. It is only the Son, Brother Jeff. You know what that means? That means that it is Christ that will be sitting at the judgment seat of Christ. And it will be Christ that judges you and I for what we did with the life He gave us. And think about it. I don't know if Christ still has all the marks. I don't know if He's still wounded. I hope to see those holes in His hands, Brother Delbert. But could you imagine when He stretches out that hand and looks at you, and you see how faithful He was to you like everybody was just talking about, and you roll back in your mind about how unfaithful we were to Him. I don't care from the best Christian to the worst. There's all been moments where we haven't been as faithful as we ought to be. Do you agree this morning? think that it is Christ that will give out the verdict at the judgment seat of Christ and will give out the rewards and will tell us what we did for Christ and what we did for ourselves this morning. But then you find that in Revelation chapter number 20 the other primary judgment that we see in the end times is that you find that on the great white throne the Bible does not tell us who it is that is sitting on the throne. But by bringing in John 5 we understand exactly who it is this morning. That the same Savior that bled and died on Calvary that all could be saved will be the same Savior that will now sit down at that great white throne and will give out the verdict Brother Rue for those that have rejected the grace that He offered them on Calvary this morning. Think about it. It silly to say that Christ is the one that will be judging in John 5 and we understand He's the one sitting on the throne. Understand that in our day we don't understand that, Brother Delbert, because all mankind has ever known is Jesus the Savior. All we've ever known in our lives is the fact that Jesus Christ shed His blood for us. All we know is that Christ said, Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. All we know is that Jesus Christ endured the cross and despised the shame that He could have you and I. All we know is that Jesus Christ said that He loved us so much that the Good Shepherd would lay down His life for the sheep. That's all we know this morning. But one day it will all change and he will no longer be Jesus the Savior, but he will now be Jesus the Judge this morning. The same nail-pierced hands that once stretched out and called to you someday when you heard the gospel preached will be the same one that points in the direction of the lake of fire and says, Depart from me ye that work iniquity, I never knew you this morning. Think about it. We find that that one that once was girded when He came to this earth and died as a lamb led to the slaughter, the one that was girded with the loin cloth with a crown of thorns upon His brow, the same one with the nail prints in His hand that was hanging upon the cross, the bloody bruised, beaten, mocked, scoffed at Saviour, that same One that lifted up His voice and said, Father, forgive them for they know not what they do. The same One that watched as everybody spit and mocked. The same One that bled and gave His life is the same One now that will no longer have a crown of thorns on His brow, but will have a crown of glory resting on His head. The same one that once was girded in those loincloths will now be arrayed in a fine white linen. Brother Delbert, those same eyes that wept as he looked at Jerusalem are the same eyes that'll be afull burning flames of fire. The same lips that once said to come unto Him are the same ones that now say depart. The same hands that were nailed are the same hands that will command the angels to bound us up. Those same feet that were bruised and nailed to the tree of Calvary, now every sinner will bow at. and confess for the final time that Jesus Christ is Lord. That same one they spit on, they'll now cry because. The same one they left that, they'll now lament and cry out for because there will be a day where Jesus goes from being the Savior and begins to be the Judge this morning. And the truth is now we know God's love but on that day there is no love that will be present from the Son of God like we experience today. There's coming a day where Christ will switch from being the Savior and He will begin to be the judge of mankind. I was reading a story not too long ago. There was a story of a boy back in the 1800's lived in a little old town, Brother Jeff. He said that this boy, His dad had horses at the stable and said this boy got up and got to playing around on one of the horses, Brother Delbert, and that his leg got stuck in the harness of the saddle and said that that horse got spooked and took off running and said that it was dragging him, Brother Ruth, through the town. That little boy was getting beat off the ground going down through the dirt road of that city. It said that all of a sudden, everybody was scared to death. It was too dangerous to mess with. They thought the boy was already dead, but they said there was one man that jumped up, Brother Randy, and he ran out to where that little boy was on the horse, and he literally put his life in danger to save that boy from dying at the hands of their, because of that horse. Said that that man got out there, picked the kid up, and carried him back to the doctor and laid him down. And said they went on, they never saw each other, Brother Delbert again. Said that man ended up moving to another town. Said that little boy grew up. Though he'd been given that second chance at life, Brother George, they said that he turned into one of the most wicked people in the city. Said that he was about as bad as it gets. He's a drunk, he's a whore-monger. He was just about the worst of the worst, Brother Jeff. They said one day they caught him for some type of crime that he had done. They told him that he was going to hang Brother Delbert for what he did. They walked in this man that once was being drugged by the horse and almost died, no longer a young boy. They walked him in the courtroom so he could get the verdict, Brother Delbert. As he walked in with those bindings on his hands and his feet, he looked up and he recognized the face of the one that was sitting behind the judge's bench. He said that all of a sudden it occurred to him that that's the same man that had rescued his life that day from the horse. He said that boy got to talking to him and said, Sir, I don't know if you remember me. And the judge cut him off and said, I remember exactly who you are. He said that boy looked at him now, that grown man looked Brother Delbert and said, Sir, you were so generous to put your life in danger and save me that day. He said, would you be willing to save my life one more time? He said, but Jeff, you were my Savior on that day. Would you just give me a free pass and let me go? He said, you know what the verdict is. That judge leaned over the bench and looked at him and said, son, that day I was your Savior, but today I am your judge. He said, then I put my life on the line to be your Savior. But today it's your life that you'll hang on. He said, because I'm the judge this morning. Got to thinking about the fact that one day Christ will go from being our savior to being our judge this morning. And I'm glad that I'll never have to know Jesus the judge over my lost soul. I'll have to answer for what I did as a servant, but I'm glad I'll never have to answer at the great white throne this morning. I want to preach on this thought for a few moments and I'll be done from Jesus the Savior to Jesus the Judge. There is a big difference between the Savior we've got today and the Judge that you can face tomorrow. There's a very big difference between the two this morning. Got to looking on who's going to be there when Jesus goes from Jesus the Savior to Jesus the Judge. I want to show you three different people we'll see or three different moments that'll take place when Jesus goes from Jesus the Savior to the Judge. And I'll give them to you quick and I'll be done. Not very long. It won't take me long this morning. First notice with me, when Jesus goes from Jesus the Savior to Jesus the Judge, we'll see those that truly didn't care this morning. See those that really they just didn't even care about who He was. Look at me in verse number 15 of Revelation 20. It says, And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Notice it says, and whosoever was not found. Notice that word this morning. In case you didn't remember, the word whosoever is the exact same word that was used in Revelation chapter 10 and verse 9 for Delbert. A word whosoever in the simplest form means anybody. That means from every person. I'm glad that I'm not ignorant enough to believe, Brother Jeff, that God picked out some and God left out some others. Aren't you glad for that this morning? We're in our bubble here in Ripley. You get to travel and ask Brother Johnny. There's Calvinists everywhere. Some of them literally believe, Brother Blake, that babies die and go to hell. That they were predestined before the foundation of the world. That there are people out there that don't even have a chance, Brother Delbert. That God in His judgment, God in His righteousness, and God in His love died, that the whole world would be saved, that all would come to repentance, but yet, all doesn't mean all, all means some. And if you can understand how foolish you've got to be to be that smart, Brother Delbert, to change the word all from meaning all. It means all. But I think that it is not a mistake that the Bible uses the same word here that it did there. Because just as much as you have the opportunity to enter into the family of God, you've got the opportunity to burn in hell for all of eternity. Truth is that there is no ifs, ands, or buts. There's nothing we can argue around. You have the chance to receive Christ. You have the chance to deny Him this morning. As they always said when I was young, the ball is in your court. It's our decision to make, Brother Delbert. But the truth is, whosoever, that means anybody that rejected the grace of God, truly there'll be some people there that just didn't even care until that day. Brother Delbert, really until about the tribulation time if they're still alive. But truth is, there are people in this world that just don't care about the fact that Christ is who He said He is. I mean, think about it. We can't get too discouraged. Brother Rue and I were talking before service. We can't get too discouraged when the world rejects God. Truth is, it's not that they have no respect for us. They hate God. Truth is, they just don't care this morning. I mean, we are living in a world that could care less about eternity. I listened to a preacher who said it the other day, Brother Delbert, we're so wrapped up in life that we forget about death. In fact, you don't ever hear anybody celebrate and throw a surprise death day. Brother Delbert, we always celebrate our birthday when we came into the world, but we don't like to think about when we go out of this world. I mean, think about it. We buy something called life insurance, but it's only worth anything when you're dead. It should be called death insurance, Brother Delbert. But we don't like to think about the fact that one day we'll step out of this world and into another world. We're always concerned about our life. but not the life that's coming after death. Truth is, there's not a single being that's been created with a soul that came from God that is not an eternal being. We've had a beginning date. God never had a beginning. God never has an end. We had a beginning date, but we will never have an ending date. Every person will live forever. We're all immortal, Brother Jeff. We'll all live forever this morning, but the truth is, there's a crowd out there that could care less about anything that the Bible has to say this morning. I mean, are you still with me when you say amen? We understand. We can get up and preach till we're red in the face about every issue that the world's got and we can get all of us shouting because we know that we ain't doing none of the big sins that the radical left pushes. And I'm glad I'm not, but let's just get real this morning. They don't care about Christ. And we can preach till we're blue in the face, Adam, but until the Holy Ghost of God convicts their heart, and the Word of God is spoken to them, and they choose Him out of their own free will, they'll never care about anything that God has to say this morning. Really, honestly, the world truly just doesn't care. Now, on a Sunday morning, there's people driving up and down the road that'll never have a single thought about eternity until it's here this morning. I wonder if there might be somebody in the room that you might be here sitting in the pews but you don't really care about anything the Bible said this morning. I mean, really, you hear the gospel message and it's a good story, but maybe it's just not for you this morning. It's real easy to reject it when you don't care, but may I remind you for just a minute, and hopefully the Christians will say amen and back me up for a minute this morning, may I remind you that whether you care or not, it does not change the fact that that day is coming. You can say I don't want to make a decision at all, but the truth is no decision is a decision that is a no this morning. You failed to care. Doesn't change the fact whether or not it's really going to happen this morning. We'll see those that truly didn't care, but then I want you to notice that when Jesus goes from Jesus the Savior to Jesus the Judge, we'll see those that tried deceiving Christ this morning. See those that tried to deceive Christ. Look at me in verse number 12, if you would. If you're still with me, would you say amen? It says, you know, Brother Delbert, I hope everybody knows you ain't gotta say that just when I ask you to say it this morning. You can smile or nod your head, you know. Now, I'm glad to be back at Grace. It's the only place I can act like an idiot. Tonight I'll probably act wild, but for some reason it's all serious this morning, Bro Blake. But I'm glad, listen, I'm glad that though there might be a place that doesn't care, we're in a church full of people this morning that hopefully do care. as we know the importance of it. But notice, I want you to notice what it says in verse 12. It says, and I saw the dead small and great stand before God. And the books were opened and another book was opened which is the book of life and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books according to their words. I want you to notice what it says, and I saw the dead small and great this morning. Small and great is not talking about their stature, it's talking about the fact that God is no respecter of persons, Brother Delbert, saying from what we would perceive as the lowest and what we would perceive as the greatest, that they'll all be there and nobody's exempt from it this morning. You know what that means? That means that every billionaire and every single beggar will be on the same corner at the same place, standing on the same thing, and will all answer for what we did with Christ this morning. from the most wicked cannibalistic tribe out in Africa somewhere that would kill us just for showing up to the good little old church kid that grew up on a church pew but never accepted Christ, they'll stand side by side and answer the same question, did you ever receive me as your savior this morning? says the dead, small and great, but then I found that the book of Romans chapter 2 says this, for there is no respect of persons with God, for as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law. Matthew 7 says this, we've all heard this verse, not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? In thy name have cast out devils, in thy name done many wonderful works. And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you, depart from me ye that work iniquity this morning. Truth is, we better understand that not every person that says that they believe Christ has really ever believed Christ this morning. I'm not one, I don't believe in putting doubt in somebody's mind. Brother Jeff, if you say you're saved, I take your word that you're saved this morning. I'll never be able to know for sure. I do look at the fruits, we've heard that before. Brother Delbert, the Bible says that. But the truth is, I'm not the one who will judge whether or not anybody is saved this morning. I just know that I'm saved. I don't know how I'm saved. Brother Delbert, I don't know why the Savior would ever let me be saved. But I do know that I'm saved. The truth is, we can't be so foolish to think that everybody that puts on the dress clothes on Sunday morning hasn't received Christ as their Savior. We can't be so crazy to think this morning that every person that knows every word to every hymn has ever believed the God that's being talked about in those hymns. We can't believe that every person that can quote the verses of Scripture are actually saved this morning. I mean, I could stand us all up in the room, those of us that made false professions. There are several of us in the room. Several people that have claimed that they were saved, but the truth was, on the inside, they knew that they were lost and that if they died today, they'd burn in hell for all of eternity. See, I'm glad I don't care what age you got saved at. I don't care if you repeated a prayer. I don't care what it was. But you better know beyond the shadow of a doubt that the Holy Ghost of God is living inside of you this morning. And that if you were to leave this world, it's more than just a hymn book. It's more than just a Bible. It's more than just a church close. But it is the Son of God that is living inside of you. And you better know that if you were to die, that the blood of Christ has been applied to your life, that your life's been forever changed this morning. You better know that you know that the Son of God is living inside of you. Say we can preach big messages about hell and there's times we can get people scared into making a profession. The truth is I could care less what the message is like as long as it's Christ crucified and buried and resurrected and living to intercede for you and I at Brother Delper. We understand that Jude still said fear and compassion at different things work for different people but ultimately there is no reason as a saved child of God we should doubt in our mind when you're hearing a message preached on hell this morning. I think it was dad was the first person I ever heard say it, Brother Delbert, is that we believe the devil causes doubt. Do you agree? I believe there are people that struggle knowing that they're saved. I used to struggle with it for a long time. The truth is, I've got a message on how to get the assurance of your salvation, what to pray. and will know you're saved by the Word of the Son of God, what He did in you by the witness of the Spirit of God. He'll minister to you during song and sermon by the Word of God. If it says it and you believed it, then you're saved this morning and your walk for the Son of God will help confirm the profession that you've made. But Dad said it best, the truth is, if the devil is the one that causes doubt to try and distract us, why would the devil make us doubt our salvation in the middle of a gospel message where someone is preaching, come and receive Christ? Doesn't make much sense this morning. The truth is, it probably ain't the devil, but if you listen close enough, it might be a voice you've never really heard before. the Holy Spirit of God. If you'd listen for a minute, he might just be telling you exactly where you stand with the Son of God. Truth is, you can say it with your lips, you can live it with your life, but if you've never believed it with your heart, it is not real this morning. I remember preaching that message, my big one, I don't think I've ever preached it here, a letter from hell. I think, Lord, let me preach it 10 times, and we've seen, I think, 98 professions of faith under Brother Delbert. I remember preaching it the second time I ever preached it was in Fairview, at Fairview over in Clay. I'll never forget a little old 76 year old lady, she's already passed away now, a little 76 year old lady walking from the back. Name was Miss Avis, Brother Delmert. She fell down. She was a charter member of the church. Taught Sunday school all of her life and said that she knew she was lost, but she knew if she could just live it, it would all be okay. I fell down about right here and I got to lead a woman that was about three times, four times my age to Christ for the first time. She said she heard the Holy Spirit of God speak to her on the inside. He said her life was changed forever. The truth is it don't matter how long you've been in it. If he's not living in you, it doesn't matter this much. You can try and deceive all you want to. I got to thinking about on that day, Brother Blake, could you imagine what it's like? They get there. Great White Throne. There'll be people there, I believe, that used to say they were preachers, there'll be pastors' wives, there'll be women, there'll be men, there'll be teenagers, there'll be children, there'll be people there that rejected Christ this morning. I got to thinking about the fact that we'll still have our memory, Brother Delbert, and I can see as everybody starts to be scared to death when they look up and see him sitting on the throne, the one whose evident earth flee away from the face of, Brother Delbert's what it says. I can see as maybe one man stands up and says, don't worry guys, I know exactly who that is. Maybe one that grew up in church and says, boys, that's the son of God. He's the one that died for us. Maybe he'll have grace. Maybe, maybe he'll have mercy, only to find that they have made it to a spot where God's grace and God's mercy is no longer there this morning. And they'll answer for trying to deceive Christ. Lastly, I want you to notice, and I'll be done, It's not only do we find that we'll see those that truly didn't care, those that tried deceiving Christ, but then once you notice what we'll hear, we'll hear a travailing and a deafening cry this morning. Look at me in verse number 13, I'll give you something and I'm done this morning. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them. They were judged, every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. It says this is the second death this morning. I was thinking the other day while I was studying. The truth is, is you've got to have two of something in your life. Those of us that have been born twice will only die once. Those of us that have been born once will die twice. The truth is you either are born and born again. That old song said I have a birth I can't remember and one I can't forget. The truth is you've either been born again or you will die again this morning. It's appointed unto man once to die and after this the judgment. But the sad thing is that for many after that judgment it will be appointed unto man once to die again. Brother Ruth. The truth is we'll have one. We'll either have to experience two of one or the other this morning. Once you notice on that day as Brother Rue comes to the piano, I'm going to give you a thought or two and I'm finished this morning. But once you notice that on that day, it will not be a silent day. I don't know how it'll go. I'm not sure what all will take place. I do know that everybody will bow the knee and repeat that Jesus Christ is Lord. You'll have to bow your knee and accept Him one day. Why not do it before it's too late this morning? But I can't help but think that it'll be a deafening cry that we'll hear, Brother Delbert. We understand there's weeping and wailing in the lake of fire, and we'll be so close that the angels could throw them into it this morning. can't help but think that we'll hear the cries of those that are already there this morning. I've got to think about it. If you've missed the message, don't miss this tonight or this morning. I want you to notice what we'll hear. We'll hear the cry of the condemned. I mean, can you imagine what it will be like? We believe we'll be there, right? I believe I'll be in attendance behind the throne, behind the banister. But understand that I believe that as we listen in, we'll hear the cries of those that should have received Him but didn't this morning. Perhaps it will be the voice of somebody that we know and that we love. Brother Christian, maybe it will be the voice of the wife that you were married to for all them years but never received Christ, and you did. She's bound up hand and foot past the lake of fire. You hear the cry, I wish I just would have received Him when I had the chance this morning. Maybe it's the husband you prayed for for years that you tried to get to receive Christ as now they begin to shake and tears begin to fill their eyes up as they're bound up and they cry out and say, I wish I would have been the answer to the prayers that you used to pray but now it's too late this morning. The truth is it could be children, it could be your mom or your dad as you watch as they're bound up and cast in a lake of fire. Every one of them will have zero excuse on that day after they've seen what Christ did for them. They see how they lived their life and that they rejected what He gave up for them this morning. They'll all go in with the words, I wish, I wish, I wish, as they're bound up, Brother Jeff, and cast into the lake of fire this morning. Can you imagine the cry that we'll hear, brother Christian, what it'll be like that day? There won't be anybody smiling. There won't be anybody laughing. None of us will be so arrogant to think we had it all figured out. We'll sit there and watch as soul after soul after soul, billions upon billions of people will be cast into hell that day this morning. Not only hear the cry of the condemned, but then we'll hear the cry of Christ this morning. I said it earlier, but it's sad to think The same Christ that once said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. The same Christ that used to say, come, will now cry out, guilty, guilty, guilty. That same one that once said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit, will now say, angels, bind them up. I did everything I could do. I literally gave my life so that they didn't have to die. And yet still, they mocked and they laughed. Brother Jeff, I can hear as the Son of God's nail-scarred hand sticks out. Though His righteousness and His judgment is always true, brother Thelper, Christ loves sinners. Christ will have to throw those that were on His mind on Calvary into that same place. What another wound in the side of Christ. Brother Jeff, as if the cross wasn't enough, now He must be the one that sounds out the verdict and sends those to hell for all of eternity this morning. It'll be Him that does it as Christ condemns those to die. Brother Delbert, Jeff, I just can't help but think that the same God that said things like He'd never leave us or forsake us, those will have to be forsaken this morning. The same one that said that he was a friend that stuck closer than a brother will now be the judge that will send them to hell for all eternity. Simply because they wouldn't receive Him as their Savior. Then lastly, I want you to notice, I believe we'll hear the cries of the condemned. We'll hear the cry of Christ. Lastly, and I'll be done, I can't help but think we'll probably hear the cry of the Christian this morning. We understand and we know that in Revelation 21 the tears are wiped from our eyes. We understand that. I can't help but think that it could be because of the fact that we'll sit there and see everything unfold. See all them people that you worked with that you never told about them this morning. See, all those people that you lived with, you walked by day after day, and you never told them that Christ could save their life. And we'll watch as because of our failure, they die for all of eternity while we go into a new heaven and a new earth. And everything's wonderful for us this morning, but for a moment, we'll get a glimpse of how unfaithful we were to Him. We stand and testify about how faithful God's been to you and I, but the truth is this morning, if God really was sitting like Brother Randy talked about in the pew, and He stood up and testified about us, I wonder what He could say. I wonder how faithful we've been to Him this morning. Wonder what it really is. What is it that could be said about our life? When's the last time you said one day, I'll either have to tell them about Christ here, or they'll have to see Him there. I'd rather them learn about Him here than have to face Him when He's the judge this morning. There is a world that still has time while we're on this earth to listen and hear about Jesus the Savior. So they never have to meet Jesus the Judge this morning. But the Christians just got to do their job. That's the job. Your job is not to make money. Your job is not to provide for your family. Your job is not to come to church faithfully. Your job is not to raise your family. Your job, first and foremost, is to tell lost sinners about the fact that Christ died on Calvary for them and that they'll either kneel at the foot of the cross or kneel at the foot of the throne and that they've got to receive Him while there's still a chance this morning. Christian, I wonder how much we'll cry over how unfaithful we've been to Him this morning. There's coming a day where Jesus will go from Jesus the Savior to Jesus the Judge this morning. If we lived our life in view of that day, it would change how we lived as a Christian. We wouldn't have to preach on living holy. We wouldn't have to preach on telling people about Christ. We'd just do it this morning, because we realize there's coming a day where every knee will bow and every sinner will burn in hell for all of eternity. And we've got the one thing that stands between them and the flames of hell. That's our job this morning. Heads are bowed. Eyes are closed. Nobody's looking around. I'm done. Brother Rue's fixing to sing.
