1 00:00:03,980 --> 00:00:07,700 In relation to 2nd Chapter, 1st Sentence, we 2 00:00:07,700 --> 00:00:11,440 have the central clause, the sum and summit 3 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:13,300 of Christianity. 4 00:00:14,380 --> 00:00:16,780 And another one, perhaps, the verse that includes 5 00:00:16,780 --> 00:00:17,180 it. 6 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:19,040 There it is. 7 00:00:19,460 --> 00:00:24,220 I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live. 8 00:00:25,140 --> 00:00:28,100 Yet not I, but Christ lives in me. 9 00:00:28,100 --> 00:00:31,020 And the race which I now live in 10 00:00:31,020 --> 00:00:34,280 the flesh, I live by the face of 11 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:38,380 the Son of God, who loved me and 12 00:00:38,380 --> 00:00:40,680 gave this birth for me. 13 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,460 And I'm only going to speak on that 14 00:00:43,460 --> 00:00:46,180 last clause of the verse, the Son of 15 00:00:46,180 --> 00:00:51,620 God who loved me and gave himself for 16 00:00:51,620 --> 00:00:51,940 me. 17 00:00:51,940 --> 00:00:56,180 It is the year 1852, and the path 18 00:00:56,180 --> 00:00:57,900 of war is in progress. 19 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,240 At the very line of war is a 20 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:01,420 great history of warfare. 21 00:01:02,220 --> 00:01:04,480 Nothing compares to the world wars of our 22 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:04,920 century. 23 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,780 For the war, nevertheless, and men with hearts, 24 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,900 and women with weights and boots, toil, suffering 25 00:01:12,900 --> 00:01:13,860 must be endured. 26 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,600 And I want you to see a transport, 27 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,280 one of the newest in the British project, 28 00:01:20,020 --> 00:01:22,040 sailing down the west coast of Africa. 29 00:01:22,700 --> 00:01:27,600 On the 25th of February, 1852, five hundred 30 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,680 soldiers on board severely fought the army in 31 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:31,080 the field. 32 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,500 One hundred women and children. 33 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,080 In those days, many of the relatives went 34 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:38,780 out with the troops to the seat of 35 00:01:38,780 --> 00:01:41,560 warfare, and as the troops went forward to 36 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,540 battle, their relatives were behind to receive them 37 00:01:44,540 --> 00:01:45,180 on the side. 38 00:01:45,900 --> 00:01:48,300 And their warfare ship was sailing, a hundred 39 00:01:48,300 --> 00:01:51,040 women and children, designed to defy a hundred 40 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:51,560 ships. 41 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,940 And they descended in time, what is, away 42 00:01:55,940 --> 00:01:58,480 in the distance, two miles across the waters, 43 00:01:59,180 --> 00:02:01,700 they could see the sun rising on the 44 00:02:01,700 --> 00:02:02,620 African shore. 45 00:02:03,740 --> 00:02:06,040 And in the other direction, the ocean was 46 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:07,240 calm and restful. 47 00:02:08,039 --> 00:02:09,960 In a couple of days, they would arrive 48 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,880 at port, and proceed forward to their headquarters. 49 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,520 All of us tired at sea. 50 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:18,540 The capitals had no landing. 51 00:02:19,340 --> 00:02:21,140 It was long before the gates of bombing 52 00:02:21,140 --> 00:02:21,680 came. 53 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,100 Therefore, we did enjoy this last night, as 54 00:02:25,100 --> 00:02:27,300 you will see, with the dance, and the 55 00:02:27,300 --> 00:02:28,780 songs, and the drinks, and the jokes. 56 00:02:29,780 --> 00:02:32,060 And what we had to punch through came 57 00:02:32,060 --> 00:02:33,160 in the near future. 58 00:02:33,660 --> 00:02:36,320 But what's left tonight, under the dance and 59 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:36,760 the fun? 60 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,180 You never know. 61 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:41,800 You never know. 62 00:02:42,820 --> 00:02:45,060 Don't knock thyself at tomorrow. 63 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,540 Thou know'st not what the day may bring 64 00:02:48,540 --> 00:02:48,960 forth. 65 00:02:50,920 --> 00:02:53,040 There you are in the morning, the 26th 66 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,820 of February, 1862. 67 00:02:55,300 --> 00:02:59,560 That transport, far ahead, over an uncharted lot. 68 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,680 And ripped out his late father's house. 69 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,340 And then, through the volume of water swept 70 00:03:06,340 --> 00:03:10,000 in, fell in a hundred men immediately into 71 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,500 what we call at the 12,000-million 72 00:03:13,500 --> 00:03:15,920 -ton bunk that the Egyptians built. 73 00:03:16,780 --> 00:03:19,740 And we realized, more than that, that there 74 00:03:19,740 --> 00:03:21,700 would be a planet of the West for 75 00:03:21,700 --> 00:03:24,740 us, because we only had six lifeboats and 76 00:03:24,740 --> 00:03:25,060 more. 77 00:03:26,340 --> 00:03:29,540 We turned immediately to former citizens, who resisted 78 00:03:29,540 --> 00:03:31,420 the mind of the Turks, and said, finally, 79 00:03:31,780 --> 00:03:34,200 at any cost, hope these Turks stayed. 80 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,520 There would be a planet that was ageing 81 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,860 and actively locked up, and they couldn't teach 82 00:03:38,860 --> 00:03:40,780 them step-by-step how to bring the 83 00:03:40,780 --> 00:03:42,040 intruder or watch out. 84 00:03:43,340 --> 00:03:45,380 And Simon's feet knew couldn't swim. 85 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:47,320 Couldn't swim. 86 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,280 After they ran out on the foot deck, 87 00:03:51,740 --> 00:03:54,160 and gave their ever-afterward praises to all 88 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,940 of us, they embarked, my friends, and saved 89 00:03:56,940 --> 00:03:57,880 the driven intruder. 90 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,140 But they announced their arrival. 91 00:04:01,900 --> 00:04:03,560 Those men stood harsh. 92 00:04:04,460 --> 00:04:06,720 Only three spoke to us. 93 00:04:07,700 --> 00:04:10,460 They stood up on the foot deck, prepared 94 00:04:10,460 --> 00:04:12,920 to go down to death in sharp insects 95 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,620 of water to get those illumined children ashamed. 96 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:18,839 Two of us were useless. 97 00:04:19,940 --> 00:04:22,400 Four of the last boats were packed instantly 98 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,640 with illumined children, and flew away from the 99 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:26,420 doomed vessel. 100 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,820 Former citizens constantly said to the men, stand 101 00:04:30,820 --> 00:04:34,400 hard, stand hard, and save the driven intruder. 102 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,180 Once those who broke forward, and rushing to 103 00:04:38,180 --> 00:04:39,540 a man who had been ordered into a 104 00:04:39,540 --> 00:04:41,800 race of heroes, took a bow from his 105 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,640 hand, and said, stay to them, fight them 106 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,420 on that as you can, give it to 107 00:04:45,420 --> 00:04:47,420 her, so that I know what it means 108 00:04:47,420 --> 00:04:50,060 now that you are impaired over the sin 109 00:04:50,060 --> 00:04:52,540 of a man who stepped back and bowed 110 00:04:52,540 --> 00:04:54,760 his head in the prayer of repentance. 111 00:04:55,940 --> 00:04:58,780 And those men both flew and died in 112 00:04:58,780 --> 00:05:01,320 the dark, sharp insects of water. 113 00:05:02,100 --> 00:05:05,480 In one of them's active capacities, General Alexander 114 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,900 Russell, who was in command, told me that 115 00:05:07,900 --> 00:05:10,180 he had killed a war officer who was 116 00:05:10,180 --> 00:05:12,680 just joining his regiment at the time, and 117 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,700 by his edge was a woman brushing a 118 00:05:14,700 --> 00:05:15,040 baby. 119 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:19,040 And weeping pitilessly, because of the outcome, was 120 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,740 up there on the fifth deck, standing like 121 00:05:21,740 --> 00:05:23,760 a rock for the salvation of the women 122 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:24,320 and children. 123 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,320 Suddenly, the ship, hitting hard, hurling its human 124 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,540 crushes into the sharp insects of water. 125 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,000 All of us, in the defense of the 126 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,540 Revolution, had to crawl into the mud first. 127 00:05:37,540 --> 00:05:41,120 The splinters of flames poured in one shot, 128 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,920 and whacked down into those people in water, 129 00:05:44,460 --> 00:05:46,320 and their helplessness of repetition. 130 00:05:46,660 --> 00:05:49,080 Hopefully still alive, from the shore. 131 00:05:50,260 --> 00:05:53,520 And in that confusion and fury, one poor 132 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,460 soldier put his hands on the gunwale, while 133 00:05:56,460 --> 00:05:59,500 Alexander Russell's face was burning down to the 134 00:05:59,500 --> 00:06:02,100 flames, with anger, lifting his head up, and 135 00:06:02,100 --> 00:06:04,560 said, Mr. Russell, let me in, sir, let 136 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:04,980 me in. 137 00:06:04,980 --> 00:06:07,020 Take your hand off, Alexander Russell. 138 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:08,000 You look like it. 139 00:06:08,020 --> 00:06:08,840 Take your hand off. 140 00:06:10,280 --> 00:06:12,360 Then a scream from the woman by his 141 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:12,680 side. 142 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,040 Oh, Mr. Russell, he said, he's my husband. 143 00:06:16,260 --> 00:06:18,160 Let him in, Mr. Russell, let him in. 144 00:06:20,100 --> 00:06:22,300 That's when the man spanked in the sixth 145 00:06:22,300 --> 00:06:27,920 deck, in a cataract, for saying, the gun 146 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,360 was killed by officer, but only in six 147 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:31,860 seconds. 148 00:06:31,860 --> 00:06:33,380 I'll take him, he said. 149 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,300 He was out into the water, and pushed 150 00:06:35,300 --> 00:06:36,960 the man up into his own suit. 151 00:06:37,280 --> 00:06:38,960 And the fear of God took over. 152 00:06:40,840 --> 00:06:43,160 And Alexander Russell was innocent again. 153 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,820 And of all the heroes that perished in 154 00:06:46,820 --> 00:06:49,900 the might of the perfected disaster, none could 155 00:06:49,900 --> 00:06:51,900 compare with Alexander Russell. 156 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,000 Oh, I must admit to this, he does 157 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,500 appear dark to me, when that same soldier 158 00:06:58,500 --> 00:07:01,020 and his wife, and the little baby at 159 00:07:01,020 --> 00:07:03,020 the bottom of his life, grown to a 160 00:07:03,020 --> 00:07:05,460 head of fifteen or so, of all the 161 00:07:05,460 --> 00:07:08,480 homes so big in England, that they're standing 162 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,340 in their homes, and they're looking at portraits 163 00:07:11,340 --> 00:07:14,380 up there on the walls of Alexander Russell. 164 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,300 And the father is telling the story once 165 00:07:17,300 --> 00:07:19,640 again to the boy who always wants to 166 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:19,920 hear. 167 00:07:20,620 --> 00:07:22,840 He's telling the story of the person here 168 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:23,220 tonight. 169 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,280 And then he comes up to that vital 170 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,560 part, where he's got eyes open. 171 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,000 And the boy is ready. 172 00:07:30,420 --> 00:07:31,780 Well, so he said. 173 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:33,360 He was a good man. 174 00:07:34,140 --> 00:07:36,360 You know, I gave you love, too, in 175 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,100 the love letter of your last name. 176 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,740 And he gave me so much for that. 177 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,920 Yeah, you've got something like the experience of 178 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:45,860 the Apostle Paul. 179 00:07:46,900 --> 00:07:47,840 Very much so. 180 00:07:49,020 --> 00:07:51,920 Standing up to Paul's introduction on his full 181 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,720 silence, with all the pomp and pride and 182 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,880 sympathy of an officer of the Church, of 183 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,320 the Jew, with official permission from the priests, 184 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,560 to destroy the Christian Church in Damascus. 185 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,580 And he's got all the power behind him. 186 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,720 You know, he's got those advisers and sects 187 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,420 of Islam, the Abbasids down there in Damascus. 188 00:08:13,420 --> 00:08:14,060 What? 189 00:08:15,060 --> 00:08:22,800 I don't know, buddy. 190 00:08:26,220 --> 00:08:28,660 You don't know what an angel's been born. 191 00:08:43,420 --> 00:08:46,500 And I have heard a voice, darling, in 192 00:08:46,500 --> 00:08:51,440 the Hebrew tongues, called, called, like persecuted sounders. 193 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,180 It is hard for them to speak against 194 00:08:54,180 --> 00:08:54,740 the priest. 195 00:08:57,140 --> 00:09:00,420 Well, the grand precipice of his soul was 196 00:09:00,420 --> 00:09:02,600 on the rugged basis of the rock of 197 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:02,920 Aden. 198 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:05,060 And he stood. 199 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:06,760 He stood. 200 00:09:07,140 --> 00:09:10,000 God can speak the Father's word when He 201 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:10,520 wants to. 202 00:09:11,820 --> 00:09:14,820 And that's when the lady prayed by the 203 00:09:14,820 --> 00:09:15,260 hand. 204 00:09:16,100 --> 00:09:19,220 The lady was a poor, helpless, blind, sick, 205 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:21,980 congenial lady. 206 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,900 The lady was displaced from Damascus into the 207 00:09:25,900 --> 00:09:26,940 house of Judas. 208 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:28,780 What a house, I mean. 209 00:09:29,340 --> 00:09:30,800 The house of Judas. 210 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,520 When they came to see the grand precipice 211 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,300 rising in darkness, what happened to that sort 212 00:09:39,300 --> 00:09:40,100 of darkness? 213 00:09:40,780 --> 00:09:43,140 I believe with all my soul, dear friend, 214 00:09:43,560 --> 00:09:46,640 that sort of darkness passed through one of 215 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,940 the most awful experiences of sin in the 216 00:09:49,940 --> 00:09:51,460 midst of hell ever possible. 217 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,380 I believe He saw with His eyes that 218 00:09:56,380 --> 00:09:59,800 His soul was a cistern, landmark of heaven. 219 00:10:00,680 --> 00:10:04,360 With that queenly glow He shone like the 220 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,380 star along the coastline. 221 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,040 And I believe He longed for heaven. 222 00:10:10,220 --> 00:10:12,320 It was all He longed for, heaven comes 223 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:12,520 on. 224 00:10:13,500 --> 00:10:16,860 Because in between Him, sinking down in the 225 00:10:16,860 --> 00:10:20,580 waters of persistence, and that cistern headland of 226 00:10:20,580 --> 00:10:22,920 heaven, there are many sharks. 227 00:10:23,980 --> 00:10:24,500 Sins. 228 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:27,700 Sins of omniscient incorrigence. 229 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:33,000 Secret sins, open sins, public sins, private sins, 230 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,720 vile sins, sexual sins, dispositional sins. 231 00:10:36,900 --> 00:10:38,400 Sharks in all directions. 232 00:10:39,980 --> 00:10:42,800 All He could only get from those folks 233 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,560 to take Him over, and land Him closely 234 00:10:45,560 --> 00:10:47,800 on that headland of heaven. 235 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:52,180 He feels Himself being dragged down, dragged down 236 00:10:52,180 --> 00:10:55,380 in the waters, dragged down hopelessly in the 237 00:10:55,380 --> 00:10:56,640 shipwreck of His soul. 238 00:10:57,060 --> 00:11:00,700 A rotten, corrupt, ungodly, dying sinner. 239 00:11:01,940 --> 00:11:04,440 And He feels Himself on the very verge 240 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,880 of hell, with the hot air coming up. 241 00:11:07,460 --> 00:11:10,380 Why try this for salvation, He says. 242 00:11:11,900 --> 00:11:14,520 Then He seeks to heal Himself with His 243 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,140 unholy, invisible hand. 244 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,960 How could those billows of rain lift it 245 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,620 up unto Himself, and say, I could survive 246 00:11:24,620 --> 00:11:25,420 this Christ? 247 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,280 He then speaks to Him that He died 248 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,640 in this Christ, avoiding that He died at 249 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:33,020 all. 250 00:11:33,020 --> 00:11:36,340 The law is an issue that appears to 251 00:11:36,340 --> 00:11:39,220 be in the way, as can be, but 252 00:11:39,220 --> 00:11:42,620 thou mayst pursue thy Christ, and be filled 253 00:11:42,620 --> 00:11:45,700 with the Holy Ghost, and the souls close 254 00:11:45,700 --> 00:11:46,320 to His eyes. 255 00:11:48,500 --> 00:11:50,260 Faith works, that's God. 256 00:11:51,380 --> 00:11:53,740 This works in the figure of God. 257 00:11:54,680 --> 00:11:56,180 He was the Son of God. 258 00:11:57,540 --> 00:12:01,080 He loved me, and saved and spoke to 259 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:01,360 me. 260 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:03,960 He never forgot His grace. 261 00:12:04,560 --> 00:12:07,380 It's twenty-two years after the experience, when 262 00:12:07,380 --> 00:12:10,180 He writes this epistle to the dimensions, and 263 00:12:10,180 --> 00:12:13,400 He says, the Son of God loved me, 264 00:12:13,660 --> 00:12:15,560 and gave Himself for me. 265 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,440 Oh, I could understand Him loving Peter, out 266 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:20,800 of His passion and devotion. 267 00:12:21,860 --> 00:12:25,000 Oh, I could understand Him loving John, for 268 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,100 that tender, clean affection that He showed in 269 00:12:28,100 --> 00:12:28,940 the last supper. 270 00:12:28,940 --> 00:12:32,760 Oh, I could understand Him loving Barnabas, for 271 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,360 it is His heart and benevolence and tolerance 272 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:36,380 for other men. 273 00:12:37,060 --> 00:12:41,840 It means that He's been perfectly just. 274 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,740 I've lived a difficult, hardened, harrowing, and narrow 275 00:12:45,740 --> 00:12:46,820 -minded life. 276 00:12:49,300 --> 00:12:56,640 Oh, death was resting under His mercy, still 277 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,220 reserved for me. 278 00:12:58,900 --> 00:13:02,260 And my God, He brought what I am, 279 00:13:02,620 --> 00:13:06,020 me, to keep Him to His side. 280 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:09,840 Gave Himself for me. 281 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:14,800 He gave Himself for me, and for others. 282 00:13:15,780 --> 00:13:20,580 Gave Himself with purity for my impurities, His 283 00:13:20,580 --> 00:13:25,640 holyness for my hatred, His love for my 284 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:33,140 lovelessness, His kindness for my heart, His truth 285 00:13:33,140 --> 00:13:39,080 for my falsehood, His faithfulness for my unfaithfulness. 286 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:44,720 His goodness for my guiltiness, His love for 287 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:45,780 my sin. 288 00:13:46,460 --> 00:13:49,320 Oh, the son of God, the son of 289 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,940 God, the son of God, loved Him, loved 290 00:13:52,940 --> 00:13:55,980 Him, and gave Himself for me. 291 00:13:56,300 --> 00:13:57,740 Do you look at that love, God? 292 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,080 Do you look at that out, out, deep, 293 00:14:00,220 --> 00:14:05,120 slow, wondrous, precious, fear-free, uncharitable love of 294 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:05,440 Him? 295 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:07,040 Is it not? 296 00:14:07,560 --> 00:14:10,420 That's the one thing you are driven of 297 00:14:10,420 --> 00:14:12,520 a true Christian dying son. 298 00:14:12,980 --> 00:14:15,900 That's no tax paid to the mind. 299 00:14:16,680 --> 00:14:20,660 To love Him, love the Lord, and save 300 00:14:20,660 --> 00:14:21,580 Himself. 301 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,800 You listen to that auditorium of the oppressed. 302 00:14:26,380 --> 00:14:29,540 That auditorium that brings life to the spirit 303 00:14:29,540 --> 00:14:30,660 of the lost God. 304 00:14:31,460 --> 00:14:35,060 The love of God, the time of God, 305 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:40,020 love, love you, carry Himself for you. 306 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:46,020 That's another auditorium that writes famous crucifixions with 307 00:14:46,020 --> 00:14:47,720 sweet, sweet thought into your mind. 308 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,920 comfort in my heart, in my hurt little 309 00:15:55,920 --> 00:16:00,960 heart, and my pain little heart, bring help 310 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,980 for me, bring help for me, for the 311 00:16:03,980 --> 00:16:07,400 pains, the spitting, the sclerosis, the stagnance of 312 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,300 the hooting spruce, the bitter nails, the hard 313 00:16:10,300 --> 00:16:13,620 -sassing spear, the darkness of death and hell, 314 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,940 all crowned with the close father forsaking him, 315 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,240 yes, that is the desert of my sin, 316 00:16:23,020 --> 00:16:26,640 that answers to my sin, my sin is 317 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:31,140 so great, and needs all that, and will 318 00:16:31,140 --> 00:16:33,440 be set aside with nothing short of all 319 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:37,220 that, my sin alone, in heaven or earth 320 00:16:37,220 --> 00:16:40,560 or heaven, is the full justification of all 321 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:44,280 that, all that borne for me, by my 322 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:49,400 maker, my Lord giver, my Redeemer, for the 323 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:55,480 better of every person, he loves me, God 324 00:16:55,480 --> 00:17:02,420 expects of me, yes, wondrous comes of us, 325 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,520 and that was the year 1720, and it's 326 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:10,480 long after the mass that rose tonight, long 327 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,760 after, but the fateful hour has arrived in 328 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:18,599 1720, and as in the first century, and 329 00:17:18,599 --> 00:17:20,800 I want to introduce you to Nicholas Lewis, 330 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,540 Nicholas Lewis, he's a renowned figure, but he 331 00:17:25,540 --> 00:17:27,760 hasn't reached any place of renown yet, but 332 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,940 he's a noble, and he's going into royal 333 00:17:30,940 --> 00:17:33,400 service, and in those days, there are men 334 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,180 like that, but look at him, he's traveled 335 00:17:35,180 --> 00:17:39,800 to the back, and Nicholas Lewis, when his 336 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,460 friends pass away, he's traveled, just in luck, 337 00:17:43,580 --> 00:17:46,600 before he enters into the court service again, 338 00:17:47,780 --> 00:17:50,420 and he's come to a certain city in 339 00:17:50,420 --> 00:17:54,360 Germany, and he enters the great art gallery, 340 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,540 and he dances upon a piece of hard 341 00:17:57,540 --> 00:18:00,900 paint in those days, called to hold the 342 00:18:00,900 --> 00:18:04,000 man, and he's like a man who's sheltered 343 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,200 in the wafers of the battle front, just 344 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:10,920 ahead, rich and poor, a face all on 345 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,460 land, with eyes that seem to be drowned 346 00:18:14,460 --> 00:18:17,760 in silence, a face that you couldn't look 347 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,200 away from, and underneath it sits a renowned 348 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:26,000 artist that was not decided for me, but 349 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,700 was well done for me. 350 00:18:29,820 --> 00:18:33,180 Nicholas Lewis got down, and because of that 351 00:18:33,180 --> 00:18:36,020 picture all that afternoon after the trophy was 352 00:18:36,020 --> 00:18:39,400 passed, he brought him to the desk, and 353 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,280 he had to ask all the partners and 354 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,840 sources for all to see. 355 00:18:45,660 --> 00:18:46,420 Jesus. 356 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,960 I have but one passion, Jesus only. 357 00:18:51,980 --> 00:18:55,900 Yes, distinguished man, how distinguished a doctrine I 358 00:18:55,900 --> 00:18:58,700 am, yet I have one passion now, which 359 00:18:58,700 --> 00:18:59,480 is Jesus. 360 00:19:00,220 --> 00:19:02,920 Jesus only, and Jesus has proved it. 361 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:04,160 Proved it. 362 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:05,300 Proved it. 363 00:19:06,500 --> 00:19:08,800 You say, oh yes, I'll come to Jesus, 364 00:19:08,980 --> 00:19:11,780 I'll give my thanks to Jesus, I'll receive 365 00:19:11,780 --> 00:19:14,260 Jesus, and I'll love him for my son. 366 00:19:14,460 --> 00:19:14,960 Proved it. 367 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:16,060 Jesus has proved it. 368 00:19:18,300 --> 00:19:20,460 I was so pleased to see Nicholas Lewis 369 00:19:20,460 --> 00:19:23,040 to come to St. John's, thanks to his 370 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:24,420 terrific faith. 371 00:19:25,340 --> 00:19:27,580 And his friend Chuck Lewis was in luck, 372 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,000 was the same woman as he was. 373 00:19:31,140 --> 00:19:32,880 Well I'll tell you now, Jesus. 374 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,260 Did you see the moment? 375 00:19:37,140 --> 00:19:41,300 This man, before God, laid down the lady 376 00:19:41,300 --> 00:19:42,760 of his choice on the altar. 377 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,160 Gave it up to God. 378 00:19:47,930 --> 00:19:49,590 And when he reached up there, he found 379 00:19:49,590 --> 00:19:52,070 that what had been a desperate struggle for 380 00:19:52,070 --> 00:19:54,010 himself was no struggle for the lady. 381 00:19:54,610 --> 00:19:56,470 She had chosen St. John's. 382 00:19:57,570 --> 00:19:59,370 She was very happy to love the other 383 00:19:59,370 --> 00:19:59,650 man. 384 00:19:59,650 --> 00:20:01,470 She decided for the other man. 385 00:20:02,130 --> 00:20:04,210 Oh, poor, poor Nicholas Lewis. 386 00:20:04,850 --> 00:20:06,490 Poor, poor St. John's. 387 00:20:06,490 --> 00:20:07,970 When you find yourself in a way that 388 00:20:07,970 --> 00:20:10,190 you wouldn't enjoy it, and you just keep 389 00:20:10,190 --> 00:20:12,290 having a run now, let them have their 390 00:20:12,290 --> 00:20:14,310 joy themselves, and God will give you a 391 00:20:14,310 --> 00:20:14,750 bit of comfort. 392 00:20:14,850 --> 00:20:18,090 Oh no, no, says St. John's. 393 00:20:18,890 --> 00:20:19,850 Jesus only. 394 00:20:20,050 --> 00:20:22,230 He rushed to Cancer Park the very next 395 00:20:22,230 --> 00:20:22,990 day. 396 00:20:23,810 --> 00:20:26,150 And he went to it and rejoiced with 397 00:20:26,150 --> 00:20:26,310 her. 398 00:20:27,590 --> 00:20:29,990 Now, my dear friends, it's much easier to 399 00:20:29,990 --> 00:20:32,790 wish for those that wish than rejoice for 400 00:20:32,790 --> 00:20:33,730 those that rejoice. 401 00:20:35,350 --> 00:20:37,470 You'll be so sick of being a broken 402 00:20:37,470 --> 00:20:40,130 person, that when someone's got it over you, 403 00:20:40,470 --> 00:20:42,390 and they've one-choked up you, you try 404 00:20:42,390 --> 00:20:43,930 and tell them it's not so easy to 405 00:20:43,930 --> 00:20:46,110 rejoice for them, their victory, and you haven't 406 00:20:46,110 --> 00:20:46,510 got it. 407 00:20:48,190 --> 00:20:50,250 That was the big thing, Nicholas Lewis. 408 00:20:51,470 --> 00:20:52,970 The countenance of God. 409 00:20:52,970 --> 00:20:56,130 And two years afterwards, God gave him a 410 00:20:56,130 --> 00:20:57,130 fair partner. 411 00:20:57,570 --> 00:20:58,850 Count you a good day. 412 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,860 The catch, the catch was there first. 413 00:21:11,340 --> 00:21:14,620 And then, you'll remember a little later, how 414 00:21:14,620 --> 00:21:18,180 they came over from Malaysia, poor pilgrims, driven 415 00:21:18,180 --> 00:21:21,200 out to their own centre, seeking shelter, and 416 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,080 they prayed to where since they'd got sick 417 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:28,400 was, at a place called the Watch Tower, 418 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:29,640 Perna. 419 00:21:30,260 --> 00:21:33,280 Really, the Lord's Watch, Perna. 420 00:21:34,340 --> 00:21:36,540 And he gave them shelter there in refuge, 421 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:38,320 on the hillside. 422 00:21:39,140 --> 00:21:41,520 And they all gathered together for prayer and 423 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:42,100 for worship. 424 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,000 And he tried to get up to the 425 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:45,640 poor chap's father's house. 426 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,140 They made a bond with him, and fathered 427 00:21:50,140 --> 00:21:50,780 with each other. 428 00:21:50,780 --> 00:21:52,860 They were never getting along well. 429 00:21:52,940 --> 00:21:53,640 That was a trick. 430 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,400 Father treated him badly for a month. 431 00:21:58,200 --> 00:21:59,640 Poor things and so on. 432 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,980 They owed God for prayers. 433 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:08,020 One memorable Sunday in 1917, in 1727, they 434 00:22:08,020 --> 00:22:10,360 had the visitation of God at the Communion 435 00:22:10,360 --> 00:22:14,380 service, silent, like the breath of heaven, by 436 00:22:14,380 --> 00:22:15,220 Joseph of Nazareth. 437 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:17,720 They all felt it. 438 00:22:18,300 --> 00:22:19,280 They all wondered. 439 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,440 They all gazed round to the countenance. 440 00:22:22,700 --> 00:22:24,440 They groped down and begged. 441 00:22:24,580 --> 00:22:25,740 Those kids slumming up. 442 00:22:26,620 --> 00:22:27,760 They fell in love. 443 00:22:28,060 --> 00:22:29,860 Sisters and daughters were slumming up. 444 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:32,280 They clasped hands. 445 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,720 They vowed, vowed to protect. 446 00:22:35,420 --> 00:22:37,680 And the Malaysian revivals. 447 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,840 They started the prayer machine, which went on 448 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:45,940 for a hundred years. 449 00:22:46,740 --> 00:22:48,060 Relay after relay. 450 00:22:48,460 --> 00:22:49,300 Never relax. 451 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:50,500 Never hold back. 452 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:51,620 Never moment. 453 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,000 The last prayer for a hundred years. 454 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,420 And when that hundred years was over, the 455 00:22:57,420 --> 00:22:58,960 Malaysians had spent what? 456 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:03,160 One thousand, one hundred and ninety-nine million. 457 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:04,380 At the end of the year. 458 00:23:05,260 --> 00:23:06,440 Oh, what a time. 459 00:23:07,580 --> 00:23:10,700 One day, kids and girls, kids and daughters, 460 00:23:10,700 --> 00:23:12,720 started throwing away some potions. 461 00:23:12,900 --> 00:23:14,120 Throwing them into the fire. 462 00:23:14,580 --> 00:23:16,280 And one potion refused to burn. 463 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,180 And at last, because it was blowing out 464 00:23:19,180 --> 00:23:20,880 of the fire two or three times, he 465 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:21,600 picked it up. 466 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:23,280 And he read these words. 467 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,380 Oh, let us in thine nail tree. 468 00:23:27,940 --> 00:23:29,280 Out call it. 469 00:23:29,660 --> 00:23:30,920 You let them free. 470 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:32,900 And he showed it to some of the 471 00:23:32,900 --> 00:23:33,320 brethren. 472 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,060 They leaned over his shoulder and he said 473 00:23:36,060 --> 00:23:38,020 to them, Oh, let us in thine nail 474 00:23:38,020 --> 00:23:38,560 tree. 475 00:23:39,180 --> 00:23:40,440 Out call it. 476 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:41,640 And he let them free. 477 00:23:42,500 --> 00:23:44,200 And so much they feel. 478 00:23:44,740 --> 00:23:46,500 To take that pot for that to the 479 00:23:46,500 --> 00:23:47,360 ends of the earth. 480 00:23:48,700 --> 00:23:51,420 And they came to play mighty vividly for 481 00:23:51,420 --> 00:23:54,760 many years before the modern missionary movement started. 482 00:23:55,260 --> 00:23:56,360 And they showed up. 483 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,620 Jesus and the Western and the Bible showed 484 00:23:58,620 --> 00:23:58,980 up. 485 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,300 God honored that little country that had forgotten 486 00:24:03,300 --> 00:24:07,560 any random thing since the days of Hippocrates. 487 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,500 All came from a man who was frozen 488 00:24:11,500 --> 00:24:13,140 down in the fire. 489 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,100 A man who caught his feet in the 490 00:24:17,100 --> 00:24:20,100 sun of God's love, killing himself. 491 00:24:22,820 --> 00:24:24,620 Now, do you think anything to me, dear 492 00:24:24,620 --> 00:24:24,960 friends? 493 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,680 Have you ever looked up to Calvary and 494 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,380 said, You ought to tell me all love. 495 00:24:32,060 --> 00:24:34,220 That will not let you go. 496 00:24:36,180 --> 00:24:40,300 I will give you my little portion of 497 00:24:40,300 --> 00:24:40,540 it. 498 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,620 Have you ever healed itself? 499 00:24:44,100 --> 00:24:45,160 That life you owe? 500 00:24:45,940 --> 00:24:47,140 That torch you owe? 501 00:24:47,300 --> 00:24:48,220 That blood you owe? 502 00:24:49,700 --> 00:24:51,380 Have you ever followed Him with all your 503 00:24:51,380 --> 00:24:51,700 heart? 504 00:24:53,140 --> 00:24:54,140 With one your heart? 505 00:24:55,900 --> 00:24:58,460 Well, that was Calvary, the little account for 506 00:24:58,460 --> 00:24:59,880 you, for having one your heart. 507 00:25:01,870 --> 00:25:06,030 The part from the year 1877, far after 508 00:25:06,030 --> 00:25:09,450 the Midrashian revival, but it's another revival. 509 00:25:10,410 --> 00:25:14,630 We are moving between new missionary accords. 510 00:25:14,750 --> 00:25:16,370 Many people are coming to Christ. 511 00:25:17,370 --> 00:25:20,430 Many communities are being stirred and revived. 512 00:25:21,190 --> 00:25:22,310 Who is on the right? 513 00:25:22,310 --> 00:25:24,090 He was an American preacher. 514 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,260 And the depression wasn't bad yet. 515 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:30,840 It was worse than it was. 516 00:25:32,180 --> 00:25:35,020 Christ took all his preaching sisters, killed his 517 00:25:35,020 --> 00:25:39,180 great pastor, and set his faith alongside the 518 00:25:39,180 --> 00:25:40,060 rest of us. 519 00:25:40,820 --> 00:25:43,080 And the right people really trusted Christ. 520 00:25:43,780 --> 00:25:44,900 And they had to do that. 521 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,160 And he invited the mission in London to 522 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:49,340 dinner. 523 00:25:49,860 --> 00:25:51,960 And they dined at the same old hotel 524 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:52,800 where they dined. 525 00:25:54,180 --> 00:25:57,020 And after that meal, when the other man 526 00:25:57,020 --> 00:25:58,760 had been giving me tips for the races, 527 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,220 and this man, Mr. Beeson, had been putting 528 00:26:01,220 --> 00:26:03,880 them aside, going on for these ethics, and 529 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:04,860 you don't seem to have any. 530 00:26:07,380 --> 00:26:08,460 No, I don't believe it. 531 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:09,040 No, he said. 532 00:26:09,180 --> 00:26:10,280 But where are we going tonight? 533 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:12,300 Well, he said, I'll leave it to you, 534 00:26:12,360 --> 00:26:12,600 Benson. 535 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:14,160 Well, Mr. Benson, what? 536 00:26:14,260 --> 00:26:15,480 Well, he said we're going to Rouen. 537 00:26:16,260 --> 00:26:16,660 What? 538 00:26:17,340 --> 00:26:18,180 Rouen, he said. 539 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:19,520 No, we will not, he said. 540 00:26:19,740 --> 00:26:31,740 That's where those two American evangelists have 541 00:26:31,740 --> 00:26:32,960 used the place tonight. 542 00:26:33,060 --> 00:26:34,100 Tonight they shall remain. 543 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:35,520 What? 544 00:26:35,740 --> 00:26:36,100 What? 545 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:36,940 Who? 546 00:26:37,100 --> 00:26:38,360 He said we don't want to go there. 547 00:26:38,620 --> 00:26:39,780 It was for family sake. 548 00:26:40,180 --> 00:26:41,660 He said, I say, put me away in 549 00:26:41,660 --> 00:26:41,960 the back. 550 00:26:43,120 --> 00:26:44,060 And he provided. 551 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,520 He took his face along and put me 552 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:48,160 in the back. 553 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:50,240 And sure enough, they joined in. 554 00:26:50,580 --> 00:26:52,600 They joined in right like my brother down 555 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:53,620 here under my nose. 556 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,820 Oh, what a hopeless place that lady spent. 557 00:27:03,100 --> 00:27:06,190 And split for the country. 558 00:27:06,350 --> 00:27:07,930 And lost Ireland. 559 00:27:08,630 --> 00:27:10,610 Since all the arguments that he had here 560 00:27:10,610 --> 00:27:11,090 are true. 561 00:27:11,390 --> 00:27:11,690 Ireland. 562 00:27:13,790 --> 00:27:15,470 Well, he said, I'll go there. 563 00:27:15,590 --> 00:27:16,010 He agreed. 564 00:27:16,750 --> 00:27:17,750 He went to go and say. 565 00:27:20,170 --> 00:27:22,070 And for the third time, the Lord cast 566 00:27:22,070 --> 00:27:22,730 him in glory. 567 00:27:23,310 --> 00:27:24,570 And he was right out in front. 568 00:27:26,190 --> 00:27:28,110 And then he interviewed Lindsay first. 569 00:27:28,490 --> 00:27:31,050 Now, Mr. Mooney, he said, you see, I'm 570 00:27:31,050 --> 00:27:32,030 a racing man. 571 00:27:32,450 --> 00:27:33,430 And I've come to drive. 572 00:27:34,770 --> 00:27:36,110 Does that mean I've got to give up 573 00:27:36,110 --> 00:27:36,590 my racing? 574 00:27:37,690 --> 00:27:39,230 Does that mean I've got to give up 575 00:27:39,230 --> 00:27:39,830 my car? 576 00:27:40,450 --> 00:27:42,070 Does that mean that I've got to give 577 00:27:42,070 --> 00:27:43,270 up the fear that I love? 578 00:27:44,330 --> 00:27:46,250 And I'm going to dance with Mr. Mooney. 579 00:27:46,370 --> 00:27:47,230 Does that mean I've got to give that 580 00:27:47,230 --> 00:27:47,390 up? 581 00:27:48,950 --> 00:27:53,570 Well, now, Mr. Stubbs and Mooney, I think 582 00:27:53,570 --> 00:27:55,490 you've asked me to say that. 583 00:27:56,070 --> 00:27:57,350 Racing means death. 584 00:27:58,270 --> 00:27:59,510 Second means damned. 585 00:28:00,210 --> 00:28:02,330 I don't belong to Hamlet and Jefferson. 586 00:28:04,290 --> 00:28:07,590 The other things, well, go on if you're 587 00:28:07,590 --> 00:28:09,130 damned with them, but you're in a sorrow. 588 00:28:10,350 --> 00:28:11,550 You're alive in a sorrow. 589 00:28:11,650 --> 00:28:13,210 And once you're in a sorrow, the joy 590 00:28:13,210 --> 00:28:15,090 of being so blessed that those other things 591 00:28:15,090 --> 00:28:15,670 will go away. 592 00:28:17,050 --> 00:28:18,850 You won't be enjoying them any longer. 593 00:28:19,970 --> 00:28:21,110 Good night, Mr. Stubbs. 594 00:28:21,410 --> 00:28:21,710 Good night. 595 00:28:22,090 --> 00:28:23,550 Remember, God's right with you. 596 00:28:25,730 --> 00:28:27,730 So he sorrowed his life for me. 597 00:28:28,130 --> 00:28:29,070 He gave up death. 598 00:28:30,490 --> 00:28:32,210 And he struck the joy of the Lord 599 00:28:32,210 --> 00:28:32,810 in his heart. 600 00:28:33,290 --> 00:28:34,930 You know, dear friends, when you're really damned, 601 00:28:35,050 --> 00:28:36,310 you get the joy of the Lord in 602 00:28:36,310 --> 00:28:36,750 your heart. 603 00:28:36,750 --> 00:28:38,250 I don't know. 604 00:28:38,410 --> 00:28:40,210 It seemed to me that day after that 605 00:28:40,210 --> 00:28:40,890 I was converted. 606 00:28:42,820 --> 00:28:44,220 And so I was. 607 00:28:44,220 --> 00:28:45,400 I believed in the Lord. 608 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:47,360 And I was up for it. 609 00:28:47,860 --> 00:28:49,340 God drove me up for it. 610 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:52,560 That's what Stubbs did with his own hands, 611 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:52,880 Stubbs. 612 00:28:53,380 --> 00:28:55,640 He went down to his factory seat, and 613 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:57,440 when he arrived, he looked, he was plain 614 00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,680 dead tired, and people were ground up in 615 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:00,100 the service. 616 00:29:00,100 --> 00:29:01,320 What's happened to all the Stubbs? 617 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,700 And his horseman said to one of them 618 00:29:04,700 --> 00:29:06,520 friends, you know, it's like this, he's got 619 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,540 the same stick as I have, don't you? 620 00:29:14,180 --> 00:29:16,300 If any man's in his place, he's a 621 00:29:16,300 --> 00:29:18,240 new creation or a different design. 622 00:29:19,180 --> 00:29:20,620 All things have passed away. 623 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:22,280 All things have become you. 624 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:23,740 All things have passed. 625 00:29:25,900 --> 00:29:29,260 All this disgusting monopoly about circuses and theatres 626 00:29:29,260 --> 00:29:30,560 and dances. 627 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:32,880 He can't get two or three preachers down 628 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:33,580 every weekend. 629 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:35,720 Glorious Stubbs. 630 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:37,980 And that was a shoddy thing, you know, 631 00:29:38,020 --> 00:29:41,080 for three fine undergrad sons who couldn't stand 632 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:42,500 that kind of thing. 633 00:29:42,500 --> 00:29:43,440 They'd attack them. 634 00:29:43,580 --> 00:29:43,840 Man! 635 00:29:45,260 --> 00:29:45,740 God! 636 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:46,320 This! 637 00:29:46,620 --> 00:29:46,860 God! 638 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:48,880 That's the place now where they'll become pretty 639 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:49,500 sure of that. 640 00:29:49,980 --> 00:29:51,620 Come with me, I'm going to show you. 641 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:54,540 They were just fractured as it were. 642 00:29:54,900 --> 00:29:56,000 They were great criminals. 643 00:29:56,700 --> 00:29:59,220 Outstanding men, their daddy hadn't even come to 644 00:29:59,220 --> 00:29:59,800 class. 645 00:30:00,780 --> 00:30:01,960 And they tried to make him out of 646 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:02,560 these creatures. 647 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:05,420 They got behind one of them who couldn't 648 00:30:05,420 --> 00:30:06,600 see the horse too well. 649 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:08,800 And like the Christ painted for him, they 650 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:10,780 did that last six weeks of life and 651 00:30:10,780 --> 00:30:11,600 did some fine. 652 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,580 They let him get their head cut away 653 00:30:13,580 --> 00:30:15,020 and then they put their horses to the 654 00:30:15,020 --> 00:30:15,980 gallows behind him. 655 00:30:16,580 --> 00:30:17,940 And the horse was the pundit of the 656 00:30:17,940 --> 00:30:18,140 hill. 657 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,140 The poor chap in front of his horse 658 00:30:20,140 --> 00:30:20,900 cut it off. 659 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:21,740 He couldn't hold it. 660 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:23,560 He was cut out like an old man. 661 00:30:28,930 --> 00:30:30,090 And I think it was the next day 662 00:30:30,090 --> 00:30:31,390 that the preacher got him home on the 663 00:30:31,390 --> 00:30:32,230 back of the three of them. 664 00:30:32,610 --> 00:30:33,930 And the greatest criminal of the three of 665 00:30:33,930 --> 00:30:35,970 them, he said, Charlie, as he came up 666 00:30:35,970 --> 00:30:39,410 from the nest, he said, Charlie, are you 667 00:30:39,410 --> 00:30:39,850 a Christian? 668 00:30:40,550 --> 00:30:42,070 He said, yes, I am, of course. 669 00:30:42,590 --> 00:30:43,930 So I'm not the kind of Christian you 670 00:30:43,930 --> 00:30:44,430 think I am. 671 00:30:45,310 --> 00:30:47,790 But I believe in Jesus Christ ever since 672 00:30:47,790 --> 00:30:48,550 I was that age. 673 00:30:49,070 --> 00:30:50,750 And I believe in the church too. 674 00:30:51,390 --> 00:30:53,230 And he said, he said it exactly close 675 00:30:53,230 --> 00:30:53,770 to the church. 676 00:30:53,870 --> 00:30:54,710 He might have said it later. 677 00:30:55,450 --> 00:30:57,210 And the preacher said, Charlie, do you believe 678 00:30:57,210 --> 00:30:58,830 in John, the priest of sin? 679 00:30:59,590 --> 00:31:01,050 He said, yes, I believe in him. 680 00:31:01,130 --> 00:31:02,750 Well, he said, do you believe that God 681 00:31:02,750 --> 00:31:04,850 so loved the world that he gave his 682 00:31:04,850 --> 00:31:05,710 own little son? 683 00:31:06,410 --> 00:31:07,730 Yes, I believe that. 684 00:31:08,030 --> 00:31:09,950 But do you ever believe that in him 685 00:31:09,950 --> 00:31:13,130 should not perish forever the last in life? 686 00:31:14,010 --> 00:31:15,250 No, no, I don't believe that part. 687 00:31:15,350 --> 00:31:16,430 He said, I don't believe that part. 688 00:31:17,030 --> 00:31:18,990 Well, what an inconsistent fellow you are. 689 00:31:19,810 --> 00:31:21,510 But I believe that part of the statement 690 00:31:21,510 --> 00:31:23,110 and don't believe the other part. 691 00:31:24,250 --> 00:31:25,910 Yes, he said, it's a pretty inconsistent. 692 00:31:26,550 --> 00:31:28,630 How long he doesn't continue being inconsistent. 693 00:31:29,150 --> 00:31:31,310 So he asked Charlie, he said, if someone 694 00:31:31,310 --> 00:31:33,390 gave you a gift at Christmas, what would 695 00:31:33,390 --> 00:31:33,710 you do? 696 00:31:34,410 --> 00:31:36,610 Well, he said, I'd thank him, I'd thank 697 00:31:36,610 --> 00:31:37,150 him for it. 698 00:31:37,530 --> 00:31:40,270 The gift of God, Charlie, the gift of 699 00:31:40,270 --> 00:31:42,650 God is Jesus Christ and Son of Life. 700 00:31:42,810 --> 00:31:43,730 Would you thank him? 701 00:31:44,650 --> 00:31:45,670 And he said, thank you, God. 702 00:31:46,470 --> 00:31:48,510 God is touching that man's heart. 703 00:31:49,610 --> 00:31:52,370 He even tried to go around that, to 704 00:31:52,370 --> 00:31:52,750 the corner. 705 00:31:54,910 --> 00:31:56,990 Thankfully, he had one second of reading of 706 00:31:56,990 --> 00:32:00,010 an excellent transcript on the fifth century of 707 00:32:00,010 --> 00:32:00,870 a happy life. 708 00:32:01,330 --> 00:32:08,790 He gave his life back to He put 709 00:32:08,790 --> 00:32:10,150 aside his legal career. 710 00:32:11,350 --> 00:32:12,770 He did a tremendous thing. 711 00:32:13,010 --> 00:32:15,030 He came into 40,000 towns from his 712 00:32:15,030 --> 00:32:17,430 father's estate and handed it straight over to 713 00:32:17,430 --> 00:32:18,430 the Missionary Corps. 714 00:32:19,550 --> 00:32:22,650 And then he launched out to Syria, to 715 00:32:22,650 --> 00:32:25,730 Africa, to India then, and there actually did 716 00:32:25,730 --> 00:32:26,210 it last. 717 00:32:27,070 --> 00:32:28,890 He found there, as I told you last 718 00:32:28,890 --> 00:32:32,410 night, along with his like-minded wife, Lucinda 719 00:32:32,410 --> 00:32:37,450 Stewart, he founded the World Wide Evangelization program. 720 00:32:38,890 --> 00:32:39,410 Why? 721 00:32:39,670 --> 00:32:41,410 He said it's Jesus Christ. 722 00:32:42,290 --> 00:32:43,070 He got it. 723 00:32:43,430 --> 00:32:44,770 And God is pleased. 724 00:32:46,190 --> 00:32:49,110 No sacrifice can be too great for those 725 00:32:49,110 --> 00:32:49,810 of us who are here. 726 00:32:50,650 --> 00:32:52,010 That's foundational, isn't it? 727 00:32:53,310 --> 00:32:54,250 Of course it is. 728 00:32:55,530 --> 00:32:57,610 But at the end of his lifetime, that's 729 00:32:57,610 --> 00:32:58,270 the life of it. 730 00:32:58,350 --> 00:33:00,370 My family, they come here, but I can't 731 00:33:00,370 --> 00:33:01,510 give up to God now. 732 00:33:02,670 --> 00:33:03,530 He's got it all. 733 00:33:05,230 --> 00:33:08,230 And if God's word is difficult, then hallelujah, 734 00:33:09,190 --> 00:33:10,050 hallelujah. 735 00:33:10,410 -->

00:34:56,570 That's what they thought especially when they saw 772 00:34:56,570 --> 00:34:59,430 Jesus weeping there by the grave, and they 773 00:34:59,430 --> 00:35:01,290 asked us to hold, and they said to 774 00:35:01,290 --> 00:35:01,750 hold. 775 00:35:02,930 --> 00:35:03,790 How did that? 776 00:35:04,790 --> 00:35:05,970 How did that? 777 00:35:06,750 --> 00:35:09,670 A little later, in the

--> 00:35:30,950 cross, in the pains and agonies and anguish 784 00:35:30,950 --> 00:35:33,510 of the crucifixion, what did he say? 785 00:35:33,910 --> 00:35:37,270 Father, forgive them, they know not what they 786 00:35:37,270 --> 00:35:38,670 do. 787 00:35:38,870 --> 00:35:43,130 Oh, said John the Mary, behold, how did 788 00:35:43,130 --> 00:35:43,410 that? 789 00:35:44,450 --> 00:35:45,450

take a little while. 798 00:36:12,590 --> 00:36:19,010 He loves me, me, in our infancy, in 799 00:36:19,010 --> 00:36:21,490 our oldness, in our girth, in our young 800 00:36:21,490 --> 00:36:25,630

good, the bad, the dire must be 809 00:36:56,810 --> 00:37:03,050 the good, the holy, the unholy, the heavenly, 810 00:37:04,110 --> 00:37:07,890 and the earthly, the living, the earthly. 811 00:37:08,530 --> 00:37:10,890 No love was ever fulfilled like the love 812 00:37:10,890 --> 00:37:11,450 of Christ. 813 00:37:12,510 --> 00:37:15,230 He saved himself to death at the cross, 814 00:37:15,410 --> 00:37:15,610 right? 815 00:37:17,750 --> 00:37:22,450 And in Eastern times, a new arrival arrived, 816 00:37:23,070 --> 00:37:27,650 a man went forth to Christ, for me, 817 00:37:28,050 --> 00:37:28,610 for thee. 818 00:37:29,590 --> 00:37:34,150 God found his blessed head, blood-stained his 819 00:37:34,150 --> 00:37:38,930 heavenly frame, cross-laden arms spread for me, 820 00:37:39,910 --> 00:37:44,250 for thee, fierce with his hands and feet. 821 00:37:45,070 --> 00:37:49,390 Three hours, four hundred feet, fierce rays of 822 00:37:49,390 --> 00:37:54,130 noon, five feet, for me, for thee. 823 00:37:55,370 --> 00:37:59,830 Christ, you have found thy Lord, my God, 824 00:38:00,410 --> 00:38:06,430 make me holy, my God, flesh, breast, and 825 00:38:06,430 --> 00:38:11,090 feet divine, for me, for thee. 826 00:38:13,770 --> 00:38:18,050 He was old, struck twenty at times, and 827 00:38:18,050 --> 00:38:19,870 at heart, for he was one of those 828 00:38:19,870 --> 00:38:24,810 who were struck, but rarely spoke his feelings, 829 00:38:26,150 --> 00:38:27,790 was sitting by a gateside. 830 00:38:29,390 --> 00:38:31,970 He was very silent for rest of times, 831 00:38:32,710 --> 00:38:36,510 he was extremely silent now, in his passion. 832 00:38:37,770 --> 00:38:40,390 For the last, he roused himself and said 833 00:38:40,390 --> 00:38:44,830 to this poor suffering, thy wife, ah, Lazarus, 834 00:38:45,670 --> 00:38:50,350 never has woman been loved, but angels have 835 00:38:50,350 --> 00:38:51,210 been loved. 836 00:38:52,530 --> 00:38:55,910 Ah, he said to the saints, ah, cats 837 00:38:55,910 --> 00:38:56,990 with worms. 838 00:38:58,310 --> 00:39:00,750 All thoughts could be but words. 839 00:39:01,210 --> 00:39:04,690 I knew it, God, I knew it, but 840 00:39:04,690 --> 00:39:08,150 all satiricists trampled thy fine foot. 841 00:39:09,290 --> 00:39:12,870 I'm pining for that sweet woman, and I 842 00:39:12,870 --> 00:39:16,150 have to die with her, in my lonely 843 00:39:16,150 --> 00:39:17,350 grudge for life. 844 00:39:18,810 --> 00:39:23,270 I've made the good notice that Jesus Christ 845 00:39:23,270 --> 00:39:27,070 had to die to be our life, and 846 00:39:27,070 --> 00:39:28,930 pining for a grudge for life. 847 00:39:30,570 --> 00:39:35,340 He doesn't want to die, because we're all 848 00:39:35,340 --> 00:39:40,440 people, poor, less seeking, denying people. 849 00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,740 When he made that grave prison stage of 850 00:39:44,740 --> 00:39:48,200 the Easter power, by the fear of Christ 851 00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:51,240 Jesus, he told him again, he loved him. 852 00:39:52,720 --> 00:39:56,020 And again, he responded to him. 853 00:39:56,540 --> 00:40:00,140 And again, he responded to him. 854 00:40:00,340 --> 00:40:03,000 Marcus, my husband, was near to die. 855 00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:05,700 I will keep this little. 856 00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:07,840 Tell my darling that you love him. 857 00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:10,740 And again, and again, and again. 858 00:40:13,240 --> 00:40:15,420 Tell him constantly that you love him. 859 00:40:16,140 --> 00:40:17,440 Tell him to call you all to the 860 00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:17,980 Holy Spirit. 861 00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:21,220 Tell him to go to church, because it 862 00:40:21,220 --> 00:40:23,620 all sounds cold and indifferent to him. 863 00:40:24,460 --> 00:40:25,600 Tell him that I love him. 864 00:40:25,820 --> 00:40:28,120 Tell him that you love him, because he 865 00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:29,320 loves you. 866 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,120 I thank you, dear friends, for the two 867 00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:36,060 great competitors for your soul and mine. 868 00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:38,580 Two great competitors. 869 00:40:39,780 --> 00:40:45,000 There's an adversary, of Satanic power, that asks 870 00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,520 for us to keep us under the curse 871 00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:49,280 of our sins. 872 00:40:50,420 --> 00:40:54,700 There's an adversary, who is aligned with God's 873 00:40:54,700 --> 00:40:57,540 right hand, and asks for us to bring 874 00:40:57,540 --> 00:41:01,200 us under the consolation of Calvary. 875 00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:07,220 But he did that, out of compassion to 876 00:41:07,220 --> 00:41:07,760 his father. 877 00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:10,880 And then they give him that contempt. 878 00:41:11,700 --> 00:41:13,540 Then they tell him that they love him 879 00:41:13,540 --> 00:41:15,980 for a reason, and hopeless as that love 880 00:41:15,980 --> 00:41:18,260 is, they're going with God. 881 00:41:18,740 --> 00:41:20,960 And so he's seen that the crowd over 882 00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:24,060 his head, and he's asked for it. 883 00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:26,760 He has to die to get it. 884 00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:29,460 He doesn't regard the cross. 885 00:41:29,820 --> 00:41:32,260 He doesn't regard the cross as marks on 886 00:41:32,260 --> 00:41:35,220 his hands, and his face, and his brow. 887 00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:37,240 He doesn't regard the cross as the only 888 00:41:37,240 --> 00:41:37,980 death on earth. 889 00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:39,560 That's what Christ said. 890 00:41:39,740 --> 00:41:42,180 That's something that you must give him to 891 00:41:42,180 --> 00:41:42,680 be saved. 892 00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:46,120 You know, to hold that cross and say 893 00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:46,660 that's enough. 894 00:41:48,980 --> 00:41:51,340 Not thinking that that's enough, and go on 895 00:41:51,340 --> 00:41:53,220 with the same old life of negativity. 896 00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:00,820 Unbelievable stuff. 897 00:42:01,660 --> 00:42:05,840 Blood, food, rocks, and roots, and never save 898 00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:07,240 the second life. 899 00:42:07,980 --> 00:42:08,720 My own. 900 00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:13,720 Dear Lord, I give myself away to the 901 00:42:13,720 --> 00:42:15,580 Lord, and I can do everything. 902 00:42:16,340 --> 00:42:21,000 Dear Savior, through the Lord, never take from 903 00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:24,820 me when thou shittest on my clothes. 904 00:42:25,980 --> 00:42:29,380 Oh, Lord, the same for me. 905 00:42:30,940 --> 00:42:31,880 We love you. 906 00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,420 Let us bow before this body. 907 00:42:36,900 --> 00:42:39,500 Let our hearts bow before him for a 908 00:42:39,500 --> 00:42:41,100 few moments of quietness. 909 00:42:41,820 --> 00:42:44,120 We thank God for those dear friends of 910 00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:48,300 God who have graciously insisted upon this communion 911 00:42:48,300 --> 00:42:49,840 and amended us here tonight. 912 00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,220 For whom he paid the supreme price. 913 00:42:54,240 --> 00:42:56,700 For whom he ensured the death of our 914 00:42:56,700 --> 00:42:57,120 enemies. 915 00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,620 For whom he paid to subdue the cross 916 00:43:00,620 --> 00:43:01,860 to which God replied. 917 00:43:03,180 --> 00:43:05,480 Lord, we're saying some of you have never 918 00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:06,480 come to Christ. 919 00:43:07,220 --> 00:43:09,620 You haven't even thanked him for the power 920 00:43:09,620 --> 00:43:10,720 he has in you. 921 00:43:12,020 --> 00:43:13,480 Don't you want for tonight? 922 00:43:14,300 --> 00:43:15,920 God will help you to do it if 923 00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:17,860 you've got a will to desire that. 924 00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:20,780 There are some of you that have lost 925 00:43:20,780 --> 00:43:24,180 your first love, and you've drifted back from 926 00:43:24,180 --> 00:43:26,500 Jesus, and you haven't got a heart that 927 00:43:26,500 --> 00:43:28,960 hands and feet for him, and the love 928 00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:30,280 that searches for him. 929 00:43:30,700 --> 00:43:32,580 Tell him again that you love him tonight. 930 00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:34,180 Come back to him. 931 00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:36,520 Give yourself a breath for him.
