1 00:00:00,410 --> 00:00:02,350 Welcome to From the Pulpit in Classic Sermons. 2 00:00:02,790 --> 00:00:04,330 Each week we bring you a different message 3 00:00:04,330 --> 00:00:06,390 from some of history's greatest speakers in the 4 00:00:06,390 --> 00:00:09,130 Christian faith, and parable sermons for modern preachers 5 00:00:09,130 --> 00:00:09,370 too. 6 00:00:09,890 --> 00:00:12,030 This week we have Reinhard Bonnke with his 7 00:00:12,030 --> 00:00:13,830 message, The Adulterous Woman. 8 00:00:14,190 --> 00:00:16,330 I'm going to give you one of the 9 00:00:16,330 --> 00:00:19,850 gospel messages tonight that's what the Lord laid 10 00:00:19,850 --> 00:00:22,930 upon my heart that I've preached already many 11 00:00:22,930 --> 00:00:28,970 times, and I can say across the world, 12 00:00:29,170 --> 00:00:33,830 but I believe it expresses the gospel clearest. 13 00:00:34,510 --> 00:00:35,030 Amen. 14 00:00:35,530 --> 00:00:36,650 Do you want to hear it? 15 00:00:39,470 --> 00:00:41,810 And after that, we are after the prayer 16 00:00:41,810 --> 00:00:43,690 of salvation, we are going to pray for 17 00:00:43,690 --> 00:00:45,170 the sick and Jesus is here to do 18 00:00:45,170 --> 00:00:46,090 mighty miracles. 19 00:00:47,050 --> 00:00:47,570 Hallelujah. 20 00:00:47,990 --> 00:00:50,630 I agree that the Jesus of Africa is 21 00:00:50,630 --> 00:00:51,890 the Jesus of Britain. 22 00:00:53,410 --> 00:00:54,050 Hallelujah. 23 00:00:54,570 --> 00:00:56,790 There's no African Jesus and there's no British 24 00:00:56,790 --> 00:00:57,330 Jesus. 25 00:00:59,110 --> 00:01:01,710 There's only one Jesus and he is one 26 00:01:01,710 --> 00:01:02,650 for us all. 27 00:01:03,150 --> 00:01:03,610 Hallelujah. 28 00:01:04,390 --> 00:01:06,090 And he is not different here than he 29 00:01:06,090 --> 00:01:06,690 is there. 30 00:01:07,950 --> 00:01:10,130 He is mighty to save and mighty to 31 00:01:10,130 --> 00:01:12,050 deliver and mighty to heal. 32 00:01:12,710 --> 00:01:12,990 Amen. 33 00:01:14,270 --> 00:01:16,330 Let me turn to John chapter 8. 34 00:01:16,870 --> 00:01:19,450 It is the story of the adulterous woman. 35 00:01:20,550 --> 00:01:22,530 And I'm reading from verse 2. 36 00:01:23,330 --> 00:01:26,330 Now, early in the morning, Jesus came again 37 00:01:26,330 --> 00:01:28,170 into the temple and all the people came 38 00:01:28,170 --> 00:01:30,330 to him and he sat down and taught 39 00:01:30,330 --> 00:01:30,630 them. 40 00:01:30,950 --> 00:01:33,650 Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought to 41 00:01:33,650 --> 00:01:35,710 him a woman caught in adultery. 42 00:01:36,070 --> 00:01:37,390 And when they had set her in the 43 00:01:37,390 --> 00:01:41,010 midst, they said to him, Teacher, this woman 44 00:01:41,010 --> 00:01:44,270 was caught in adultery in the very act. 45 00:01:44,270 --> 00:01:47,730 Now, Moses in the law commanded us that 46 00:01:47,730 --> 00:01:49,290 such should be stoned. 47 00:01:49,570 --> 00:01:51,190 But what do you say? 48 00:01:52,030 --> 00:01:55,870 This they said, testing him, that they might 49 00:01:55,870 --> 00:01:58,790 have something of which to accuse him. 50 00:01:59,350 --> 00:02:02,730 But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the 51 00:02:02,730 --> 00:02:05,450 ground with his finger as though he did 52 00:02:05,450 --> 00:02:06,070 not hear. 53 00:02:06,970 --> 00:02:09,610 So when they continued asking him, he raised 54 00:02:09,610 --> 00:02:12,390 himself up and said to them, He who 55 00:02:12,390 --> 00:02:15,850 is without sin among you, let him throw 56 00:02:15,850 --> 00:02:17,670 a stone at first. 57 00:02:19,170 --> 00:02:21,390 And again, he stooped down and wrote on 58 00:02:21,390 --> 00:02:21,990 the ground. 59 00:02:22,370 --> 00:02:25,490 Then those who heard it, being convicted by 60 00:02:25,490 --> 00:02:28,810 their own conscience, went out one by one, 61 00:02:29,010 --> 00:02:32,950 beginning with the oldest, even to the last. 62 00:02:33,910 --> 00:02:37,370 And Jesus was left alone and the woman 63 00:02:37,370 --> 00:02:38,770 standing in the midst. 64 00:02:38,770 --> 00:02:40,970 When Jesus had raised himself up and saw 65 00:02:40,970 --> 00:02:43,070 no one but the woman, he said to 66 00:02:43,070 --> 00:02:46,730 her, Woman, where are those accusers of yours? 67 00:02:47,310 --> 00:02:48,890 Has no one condemned you? 68 00:02:49,450 --> 00:02:52,630 She said, No one, Lord. 69 00:02:53,790 --> 00:02:57,590 And Jesus said to her, Neither do I 70 00:02:57,590 --> 00:02:58,490 condemn you. 71 00:02:59,150 --> 00:03:02,590 Go and sin no more. 72 00:03:03,290 --> 00:03:04,990 What a wonderful Jesus. 73 00:03:06,670 --> 00:03:11,970 I believe the elements of the gospel come 74 00:03:11,970 --> 00:03:16,970 here to the fore, so clear as in 75 00:03:16,970 --> 00:03:18,730 almost no other scripture. 76 00:03:19,690 --> 00:03:20,930 It is fantastic. 77 00:03:21,110 --> 00:03:23,130 I just want to walk you through this 78 00:03:23,130 --> 00:03:23,610 story. 79 00:03:24,130 --> 00:03:26,110 But you will be blessed and you will 80 00:03:26,110 --> 00:03:26,830 be challenged. 81 00:03:27,450 --> 00:03:29,010 And Jesus is here to do a mighty 82 00:03:29,010 --> 00:03:29,990 work of salvation. 83 00:03:30,830 --> 00:03:31,510 Are you happy? 84 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,530 I first have to give you the background 85 00:03:36,530 --> 00:03:40,350 why the Pharisees hated Jesus and why they 86 00:03:40,350 --> 00:03:41,730 wanted to trap him. 87 00:03:42,790 --> 00:03:44,770 It says here that it was early in 88 00:03:44,770 --> 00:03:45,250 the morning. 89 00:03:46,250 --> 00:03:48,090 Jesus was on his way to the temple. 90 00:03:48,290 --> 00:03:49,470 He loved the temple. 91 00:03:50,850 --> 00:03:55,150 He went there to teach, pray, to worship. 92 00:03:56,690 --> 00:03:58,850 And as he was walking through the streets 93 00:03:58,850 --> 00:04:03,390 of Jerusalem, the people saw him early in 94 00:04:03,390 --> 00:04:03,850 the morning. 95 00:04:04,510 --> 00:04:07,270 And one, two, three, a big crowd gathered 96 00:04:07,270 --> 00:04:09,770 around him because the people loved Jesus. 97 00:04:09,910 --> 00:04:14,450 And they said, Master, teach us, speak to 98 00:04:14,450 --> 00:04:17,130 us, preach to us about the kingdom of 99 00:04:17,130 --> 00:04:17,630 God. 100 00:04:18,589 --> 00:04:22,330 And it says Jesus sat down and taught 101 00:04:22,330 --> 00:04:22,670 them. 102 00:04:23,390 --> 00:04:25,890 Imagine Jesus being the preacher. 103 00:04:27,150 --> 00:04:28,450 Wouldn't that have been wonderful? 104 00:04:29,190 --> 00:04:33,110 I sometimes wished I could have just listened 105 00:04:33,110 --> 00:04:37,610 in to hear the gospel coming out of 106 00:04:37,610 --> 00:04:38,710 his mouth. 107 00:04:38,930 --> 00:04:39,650 Fantastic. 108 00:04:40,470 --> 00:04:42,350 It was a beautiful meeting. 109 00:04:42,830 --> 00:04:46,830 But suddenly, all of a sudden, a terrible 110 00:04:46,830 --> 00:04:49,270 noise, let me say from the left side 111 00:04:49,270 --> 00:04:52,890 there, a terrible noise, screaming, shouting. 112 00:04:54,710 --> 00:04:57,230 A cloud of dust rising. 113 00:04:58,450 --> 00:05:01,150 A crowd of people, a group of people 114 00:05:01,150 --> 00:05:02,770 approaching. 115 00:05:03,130 --> 00:05:05,510 And that cloud of dust coming closer. 116 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,720 And the noise increased so much that everybody 117 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,780 was looking to that group that was approaching. 118 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,360 Jesus had lost his congregation. 119 00:05:19,980 --> 00:05:21,460 They were all watching. 120 00:05:23,980 --> 00:05:26,480 And when that group came closer, they could 121 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:27,860 see who they were. 122 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:33,160 They were the top theologians of their days, 123 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,600 the Pharisees and the scribes in their long 124 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:37,300 garments. 125 00:05:37,980 --> 00:05:39,940 And in the midst, they had a woman. 126 00:05:40,580 --> 00:05:43,820 And this woman was not cooperative. 127 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,300 And because of it, this holy man kicked 128 00:05:48,300 --> 00:05:52,740 her forward into the direction of Jesus. 129 00:05:55,460 --> 00:06:00,440 And when that woman landed there on the 130 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:04,260 floor, the oldest Pharisee stood up. 131 00:06:06,260 --> 00:06:08,780 There he stood with his long garment, with 132 00:06:08,780 --> 00:06:12,080 his sharp eyes, piercing eyes, with his high 133 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,120 pitched voice and his long gray beard. 134 00:06:16,780 --> 00:06:21,320 He said, teacher, Jesus, this woman was caught 135 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,060 in the very act of adultery. 136 00:06:24,820 --> 00:06:27,560 Now, Moses in the law, that's the word 137 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:28,180 of God. 138 00:06:28,780 --> 00:06:32,420 Moses in the law commands that she must 139 00:06:32,420 --> 00:06:34,180 be stoned to death. 140 00:06:35,220 --> 00:06:36,820 What do you say? 141 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:38,640 Now, that was a trap. 142 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:40,840 And I need to explain to you why 143 00:06:40,840 --> 00:06:41,880 this was a trap. 144 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,920 The Pharisees hated Jesus for a number of 145 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:46,280 reasons. 146 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,620 They hated him because he was more popular 147 00:06:49,620 --> 00:06:50,900 than themselves. 148 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:56,480 And you know, jealousy among clergy is not 149 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:57,860 something new today. 150 00:06:59,220 --> 00:07:00,900 So they hated him for that. 151 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,360 Secondly, they said, this Jesus claims to be 152 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:05,900 the Messiah. 153 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,200 The people say he is the Messiah. 154 00:07:09,340 --> 00:07:11,540 He is a deceiver that cannot be. 155 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,760 And they said, we have good reasons why 156 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,440 to reject this claim. 157 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:21,500 Because we saw Jesus walking hand in hand 158 00:07:21,500 --> 00:07:25,800 with the biggest sinner of Jericho to that 159 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,300 man's house. 160 00:07:28,220 --> 00:07:32,220 If Jesus was the Messiah, he could have 161 00:07:32,220 --> 00:07:34,580 smelled 10 miles against the wind. 162 00:07:35,860 --> 00:07:40,180 That that man Zacchaeus was a crook and 163 00:07:40,180 --> 00:07:41,980 he would not have gone hand in hand 164 00:07:41,980 --> 00:07:43,180 into his house. 165 00:07:43,820 --> 00:07:46,600 If he was the Messiah, he is not 166 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:47,200 the Messiah. 167 00:07:47,740 --> 00:07:50,240 Besides, they said, we have seen him breaking 168 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:50,860 the Sabbath. 169 00:07:51,260 --> 00:07:54,020 How could the Messiah break the Sabbath? 170 00:07:56,140 --> 00:07:59,620 He healed a man on the Sabbath and 171 00:07:59,620 --> 00:08:02,620 told him to carry his mattress home. 172 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,860 Now that's against the law of Moses. 173 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:08,780 He cannot be the Messiah. 174 00:08:09,900 --> 00:08:13,180 We've got to, we've got to expose them 175 00:08:13,180 --> 00:08:18,370 as a deceiver to all of Israel. 176 00:08:18,650 --> 00:08:19,910 And so they figured it out. 177 00:08:21,230 --> 00:08:23,670 When Jesus is surrounded by a big crowd 178 00:08:23,670 --> 00:08:26,350 of people, we will catch somebody in the 179 00:08:26,350 --> 00:08:27,710 very act of adultery. 180 00:08:27,910 --> 00:08:29,790 That is not very difficult to do. 181 00:08:31,350 --> 00:08:35,110 And then we will bring that adultery to 182 00:08:35,110 --> 00:08:35,610 Jesus. 183 00:08:35,850 --> 00:08:37,210 And in front of all the people, we 184 00:08:37,210 --> 00:08:40,909 will ask him, Moses says, this person must 185 00:08:40,909 --> 00:08:42,130 be stoned to death. 186 00:08:42,309 --> 00:08:43,230 What do you say? 187 00:08:43,610 --> 00:08:46,270 Now they, they figured it out like this, 188 00:08:46,390 --> 00:08:49,410 that Jesus would say, either he would say, 189 00:08:49,690 --> 00:08:52,010 what do you want Pharisees? 190 00:08:52,110 --> 00:08:53,850 I'm the friend of the sinners. 191 00:08:54,510 --> 00:08:56,250 Let this woman go home. 192 00:08:56,810 --> 00:09:00,890 If Jesus had said that, the Pharisees would 193 00:09:00,890 --> 00:09:02,690 have said, people of Israel, you've heard it 194 00:09:02,690 --> 00:09:03,690 with your own ears. 195 00:09:04,070 --> 00:09:06,870 This Jesus is talking against the law of 196 00:09:06,870 --> 00:09:07,470 Moses. 197 00:09:07,950 --> 00:09:09,550 He cannot be the Messiah. 198 00:09:11,870 --> 00:09:14,770 If Jesus would have said the opposite, if 199 00:09:14,770 --> 00:09:17,070 Jesus would have said, yes, my dear Pharisees, 200 00:09:17,250 --> 00:09:18,570 you are absolutely right. 201 00:09:18,770 --> 00:09:20,270 This is the law of Moses. 202 00:09:20,710 --> 00:09:23,810 Come on, boys, pick up the stones and 203 00:09:23,810 --> 00:09:24,730 give it to her. 204 00:09:27,890 --> 00:09:31,290 Then the Pharisees would have said, well, let 205 00:09:31,290 --> 00:09:32,090 me cut it short. 206 00:09:32,370 --> 00:09:34,410 The Pharisees would have said, even Jesus has 207 00:09:34,410 --> 00:09:36,430 got to recognize that we are the rightful 208 00:09:36,430 --> 00:09:37,510 keepers of the law. 209 00:09:39,050 --> 00:09:41,390 There would have been other implications, but let 210 00:09:41,390 --> 00:09:42,210 me cut it short. 211 00:09:43,130 --> 00:09:45,430 So it was a trap because no matter 212 00:09:45,430 --> 00:09:46,850 what Jesus would have said, if he would 213 00:09:46,850 --> 00:09:50,090 have said stone her or let her go, 214 00:09:50,630 --> 00:09:51,610 he wasn't a fix. 215 00:09:52,470 --> 00:09:54,070 And that is exactly what they wanted. 216 00:09:56,050 --> 00:09:58,530 Jesus didn't answer so quickly. 217 00:09:59,550 --> 00:10:01,890 He stooped down and wrote with his finger 218 00:10:01,890 --> 00:10:03,190 on the ground. 219 00:10:04,530 --> 00:10:06,090 The Pharisees couldn't wait. 220 00:10:06,090 --> 00:10:09,010 They were sure they had dropped Jesus now. 221 00:10:09,290 --> 00:10:12,010 So the old Pharisee repeated his question. 222 00:10:13,250 --> 00:10:16,130 Teacher, Moses says he must die. 223 00:10:17,130 --> 00:10:18,590 What do you say? 224 00:10:19,970 --> 00:10:25,470 Then Jesus stood up and he said, he 225 00:10:25,470 --> 00:10:29,510 who is without sin among you, throw the 226 00:10:29,510 --> 00:10:31,650 first stone at her. 227 00:10:32,770 --> 00:10:35,230 That moment, something happened. 228 00:10:37,310 --> 00:10:40,190 What is also happening here now? 229 00:10:41,810 --> 00:10:46,450 The Holy Spirit touched the lives of all 230 00:10:46,450 --> 00:10:47,790 those who were there. 231 00:10:49,110 --> 00:10:52,450 He stood that old Pharisee waiting for the 232 00:10:52,450 --> 00:10:53,630 wrong answer to come. 233 00:10:54,430 --> 00:10:57,510 He heard, he who is without sin, throw 234 00:10:57,510 --> 00:10:59,730 the first stone at her. 235 00:11:01,130 --> 00:11:03,610 Suddenly the Holy Spirit touched that man. 236 00:11:04,590 --> 00:11:06,010 Something happened to him. 237 00:11:06,810 --> 00:11:07,950 Something happened to him. 238 00:11:08,950 --> 00:11:10,190 That's what I believe. 239 00:11:10,930 --> 00:11:12,530 That's what the Lord showed to me. 240 00:11:14,940 --> 00:11:17,220 I got it from an eyewitness, the Holy 241 00:11:17,220 --> 00:11:17,560 Spirit. 242 00:11:19,680 --> 00:11:20,240 Hallelujah. 243 00:11:20,940 --> 00:11:24,040 He stood that old Pharisee and all of 244 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,440 a sudden the Holy Spirit touched him. 245 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,120 And with open eyes in broad daylight, he 246 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:29,780 had a vision. 247 00:11:30,740 --> 00:11:34,720 He saw two tables of stone with the 248 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,320 10 commandments engraved, five plus five. 249 00:11:39,340 --> 00:11:42,400 And he couldn't help but read commandment number 250 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:42,720 one. 251 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,740 And after he read commandment number one, a 252 00:11:46,740 --> 00:11:49,040 voice rose within him. 253 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:50,780 Guilty. 254 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,220 You are guilty. 255 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,280 Commandment number two, the terrible voice came up 256 00:11:59,280 --> 00:11:59,680 again. 257 00:12:00,420 --> 00:12:02,380 Shouting loud inside of him. 258 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:03,380 Guilty. 259 00:12:04,300 --> 00:12:05,540 You are guilty. 260 00:12:06,680 --> 00:12:08,080 Commandment number three, guilty. 261 00:12:08,580 --> 00:12:09,780 Number four, guilty. 262 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:14,000 Number five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. 263 00:12:14,220 --> 00:12:17,020 Guilty, guilty, guilty to the full. 264 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,380 And old Pharisee started to perspire. 265 00:12:25,110 --> 00:12:27,710 He thought his neighbors had heard that voice 266 00:12:27,710 --> 00:12:29,890 that shocked him so much. 267 00:12:29,890 --> 00:12:32,830 And that had pronounced him guilty. 268 00:12:33,910 --> 00:12:37,010 He was felt extremely uncomfortable. 269 00:12:37,490 --> 00:12:38,210 He looked left. 270 00:12:38,910 --> 00:12:40,930 He looked right if they were all watching 271 00:12:40,930 --> 00:12:41,270 him. 272 00:12:42,330 --> 00:12:45,030 And when he realized they were all busy 273 00:12:45,030 --> 00:12:49,370 with themselves, he did this. 274 00:12:49,850 --> 00:12:56,060 He picked up his long holy gown, put 275 00:12:56,060 --> 00:12:57,140 in the reverse gear. 276 00:13:04,570 --> 00:13:05,330 Hallelujah. 277 00:13:07,830 --> 00:13:10,670 He realized, I dare not throw the first 278 00:13:10,670 --> 00:13:11,310 stone. 279 00:13:11,530 --> 00:13:15,010 If I throw the first stone, that stone 280 00:13:15,010 --> 00:13:17,630 will be like a football. 281 00:13:18,310 --> 00:13:21,030 It will hit the woman first and then 282 00:13:21,030 --> 00:13:23,250 it will jump back and hit me. 283 00:13:23,930 --> 00:13:25,710 Because I'm also a sinner. 284 00:13:28,090 --> 00:13:30,230 There was the second oldest Pharisee. 285 00:13:32,680 --> 00:13:36,000 In his ear it also rang, he who 286 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,380 is without sin among you, throw the first 287 00:13:40,380 --> 00:13:41,100 stone at her. 288 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:47,440 All of a sudden, his mind went back 289 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,900 just ten days back. 290 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,600 He saw himself in the cottage at the 291 00:13:52,600 --> 00:14:00,940 beach, committing the very same sin with a 292 00:14:00,940 --> 00:14:01,260 woman. 293 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,440 He accused this woman of now. 294 00:14:07,300 --> 00:14:10,620 And Holy Spirit in him shouted, guilty. 295 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,600 If you throw the first stone, it's going 296 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,500 to be like a boomerang. 297 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,120 You dare not throw the first stone. 298 00:14:21,420 --> 00:14:23,020 You are guilty yourself. 299 00:14:23,700 --> 00:14:25,020 What did the holy man do? 300 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,080 Picking up his gown, putting in the reverse 301 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:32,420 gear. 302 00:14:33,700 --> 00:14:34,900 Backing off. 303 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,800 And so my Bible says, from the youngest, 304 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,060 oldest to the youngest, they all put in 305 00:14:43,060 --> 00:14:43,940 the reverse gear. 306 00:14:44,580 --> 00:14:47,840 They all were convicted by the Holy Spirit 307 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,380 of their own sin. 308 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,560 They were all sinners and couldn't judge a 309 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:53,820 sinner. 310 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,400 My God. 311 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,440 This is the first lesson that Jesus wanted 312 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:03,720 to teach those people. 313 00:15:04,140 --> 00:15:06,400 And the Holy Spirit has been teaching all 314 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,100 generations and is here to teach it us 315 00:15:09,100 --> 00:15:09,740 tonight. 316 00:15:10,020 --> 00:15:13,120 That we are all guilty before God. 317 00:15:14,460 --> 00:15:17,280 We are all guilty before God. 318 00:15:17,540 --> 00:15:20,360 I always wondered, what did Jesus write with 319 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:21,800 his finger in the sand? 320 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:24,200 In the dust. 321 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,560 I tell you, he wrote in the dust 322 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,780 what the Holy Spirit writes into every human 323 00:15:30,780 --> 00:15:31,380 heart. 324 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,800 This one word, guilty. 325 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:36,560 Guilty. 326 00:15:37,260 --> 00:15:40,300 We are all guilty before the living God. 327 00:15:42,820 --> 00:15:44,760 Oh, let me just test you. 328 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:51,280 Is there anybody who can stand up in 329 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:55,400 all righteousness and say, I've kept all the 330 00:15:55,400 --> 00:16:02,640 commandments all my life until today, then please 331 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:03,600 wave your hand. 332 00:16:07,580 --> 00:16:09,680 Are you waving your hand, mother? 333 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,580 Oh no, he's getting some air. 334 00:16:14,620 --> 00:16:16,220 Nobody, nobody here? 335 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,560 You know, we are all guilty before God. 336 00:16:22,260 --> 00:16:24,520 If somebody would have said, I've never committed 337 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:25,920 a sin, I would have said you are 338 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:27,620 a liar because the Bible says it. 339 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,040 If we say we have no sin, the 340 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:31,800 truth is not in us, we are liars. 341 00:16:32,300 --> 00:16:34,580 We are guilty before God. 342 00:16:34,780 --> 00:16:37,240 We have broken the commandments of the Lord. 343 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,420 We have, all of us. 344 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,240 And Jesus writes that into our hearts. 345 00:16:43,580 --> 00:16:44,860 Guilty, guilty. 346 00:16:45,620 --> 00:16:48,140 We are guilty before God. 347 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:50,580 We dare not pick up stones. 348 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:52,940 To throw at others. 349 00:16:54,140 --> 00:16:54,720 All right. 350 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,620 Jesus said, he who is without sin among 351 00:16:57,620 --> 00:17:00,420 you cast the first stone. 352 00:17:01,500 --> 00:17:03,220 Now let me ask you a question. 353 00:17:04,319 --> 00:17:06,780 How was it that morning in that meeting? 354 00:17:08,060 --> 00:17:10,319 Was there nobody without sin? 355 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:11,660 Yes or no? 356 00:17:14,260 --> 00:17:15,000 Yes or no? 357 00:17:18,030 --> 00:17:20,069 Yes, it's some educated people. 358 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:24,020 Yes. 359 00:17:24,980 --> 00:17:28,860 There was only one without sin. 360 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,940 And his name was Jesus. 361 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,300 His name was Jesus. 362 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:38,240 Say amen. 363 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,420 The Bible says, he who knew no sin 364 00:17:42,420 --> 00:17:44,240 was made sin for us. 365 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,120 The Bible speaks of him as the spotless, 366 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,740 sinless lamb of God. 367 00:17:50,740 --> 00:17:54,220 The perfect lamb of God that died for 368 00:17:54,220 --> 00:17:55,240 our sins. 369 00:17:56,180 --> 00:17:59,060 If there had been one blemish in Jesus, 370 00:17:59,360 --> 00:18:02,240 he would not have qualified to die for 371 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:02,700 us. 372 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,640 But he was and is the holy son 373 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:08,380 of God. 374 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,080 Isn't that wonderful? 375 00:18:12,380 --> 00:18:16,260 Jesus had the right to pick the first 376 00:18:16,260 --> 00:18:19,480 stone and throw it into the face of 377 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:20,080 that woman. 378 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,780 He could have thrown the stones into the 379 00:18:23,780 --> 00:18:25,520 faces of these Pharisees. 380 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,020 He could have thrown the stones into your 381 00:18:30,020 --> 00:18:33,620 faces and into my face because we are 382 00:18:33,620 --> 00:18:36,440 all sinners and come short of the glory 383 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:37,140 of God. 384 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:42,460 But he didn't do. 385 00:18:44,350 --> 00:18:47,630 Now let me turn to the woman for 386 00:18:47,630 --> 00:18:48,470 a few moments. 387 00:18:49,990 --> 00:18:53,450 When the woman was arrested by the temple 388 00:18:53,450 --> 00:19:01,370 police, by those Pharisees and by those scribes. 389 00:19:02,290 --> 00:19:04,870 The Bible speaks in the very act of 390 00:19:04,870 --> 00:19:05,630 adultery. 391 00:19:06,810 --> 00:19:10,930 That woman, when they grabbed her, she looked 392 00:19:10,930 --> 00:19:15,310 around into the eyes of these men that 393 00:19:15,310 --> 00:19:17,010 just were arresting her. 394 00:19:17,330 --> 00:19:20,050 And she said, I think I know you 395 00:19:20,050 --> 00:19:20,790 all. 396 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,760 She felt you are not better than myself. 397 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,600 You have no right to judge me. 398 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:34,180 She resisted. 399 00:19:34,620 --> 00:19:36,720 That's why she didn't cooperate. 400 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:38,860 That's why they had to kick her. 401 00:19:42,420 --> 00:19:43,320 I'm puzzled. 402 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:44,840 I've got a couple of questions. 403 00:19:45,060 --> 00:19:49,860 I mean, you know, maybe just one question 404 00:19:49,860 --> 00:19:52,880 I would just like to mention here. 405 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,780 You know, a woman can do many, many 406 00:19:55,780 --> 00:19:56,560 things. 407 00:19:59,370 --> 00:20:01,770 But there's one thing a woman can never, 408 00:20:01,990 --> 00:20:03,350 never, never, ever do. 409 00:20:03,930 --> 00:20:07,050 No woman can commit adultery all by herself. 410 00:20:13,230 --> 00:20:16,510 So my question is, what happened to the 411 00:20:16,510 --> 00:20:16,930 man? 412 00:20:18,730 --> 00:20:20,270 Who was he? 413 00:20:21,590 --> 00:20:24,190 I have a sneaking suspicion. 414 00:20:25,830 --> 00:20:28,230 I think the man was a Pharisee. 415 00:20:32,220 --> 00:20:34,260 Never trust a hypocrite. 416 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:36,940 Not even in a holy gown. 417 00:20:38,140 --> 00:20:39,900 Never trust a hypocrite. 418 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:44,300 That's why she resisted. 419 00:20:44,420 --> 00:20:45,420 But she had no option. 420 00:20:45,700 --> 00:20:47,120 They kicked her forward. 421 00:20:48,020 --> 00:20:48,660 And how? 422 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,680 They wanted to kick her into the grave. 423 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,380 They wanted to kick her to death. 424 00:20:56,220 --> 00:21:00,720 Because Moses, the law of Moses was stipulating 425 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:01,140 it. 426 00:21:02,700 --> 00:21:07,060 And when that woman arrived at Jesus' place, 427 00:21:08,220 --> 00:21:10,140 she fell on her knees. 428 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,380 And just for a split of a second, 429 00:21:14,020 --> 00:21:16,920 she looked into his eyes, and she got 430 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:18,300 the shock of her life. 431 00:21:19,820 --> 00:21:22,300 For the first time in her life, she 432 00:21:22,300 --> 00:21:27,760 saw pure eyes, sinless eyes. 433 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:28,600 Eyes. 434 00:21:29,850 --> 00:21:31,600 And she started shaking. 435 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,120 She started shaking. 436 00:21:34,260 --> 00:21:35,400 Holy Spirit was there. 437 00:21:35,500 --> 00:21:36,520 She started shaking. 438 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:42,960 And she said, if someone can judge me, 439 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:50,220 and condemn me, and execute me, it's this 440 00:21:50,220 --> 00:21:50,820 Jesus. 441 00:21:52,380 --> 00:21:53,880 It is Jesus. 442 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:54,420 Jesus. 443 00:21:55,740 --> 00:22:00,080 And she fell on her face, weeping. 444 00:22:02,740 --> 00:22:06,760 Then she heard the first question of the 445 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,080 chief Pharisee. 446 00:22:08,460 --> 00:22:15,650 Teacher, Moses said she must die. 447 00:22:16,730 --> 00:22:18,610 What do you say? 448 00:22:20,390 --> 00:22:21,810 Almost genuine. 449 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:28,660 That woman, I think so. 450 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,640 I think so because I know people. 451 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,200 I think she was so mixed up, and 452 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:35,320 she was so confused. 453 00:22:36,180 --> 00:22:38,680 She didn't hear the first part of the 454 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:39,820 reply of Jesus. 455 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,120 The woman didn't hear when Jesus said, he 456 00:22:42,120 --> 00:22:45,040 who is without sin among you. 457 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,780 She only heard the second part, when he 458 00:22:48,780 --> 00:22:53,280 said, cast the first stone at her. 459 00:22:56,180 --> 00:22:58,240 The woman put her arms over her head, 460 00:22:58,300 --> 00:22:59,420 and she started to cry. 461 00:22:59,580 --> 00:23:00,040 Yes. 462 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:01,400 Yes. 463 00:23:02,020 --> 00:23:02,620 Yes. 464 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,900 I have deserved stones. 465 00:23:06,120 --> 00:23:07,520 I am a sinner. 466 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:09,720 I am a sinful woman. 467 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:10,520 Yes. 468 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,060 Come, throw the stones quickly. 469 00:23:14,620 --> 00:23:16,100 Why do you wait so long? 470 00:23:16,580 --> 00:23:17,960 Don't torment me so long. 471 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:19,640 I have deserved them. 472 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:21,460 Let the stones come. 473 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,400 I have deserved them. 474 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,100 And the stones did not come. 475 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,220 She dared to look up, and when she 476 00:23:31,220 --> 00:23:33,980 looked up, Jesus looked at her. 477 00:23:35,900 --> 00:23:41,800 And Jesus said, where are you accusers, woman? 478 00:23:42,740 --> 00:23:43,700 She looked around. 479 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,800 He said, has no one condemned you? 480 00:23:49,060 --> 00:23:51,180 She said, no one, Lord. 481 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:52,720 No one. 482 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,720 And then Jesus said, neither do I condemn 483 00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:58,120 you. 484 00:24:00,290 --> 00:24:04,510 Go in peace and sin no more. 485 00:24:04,870 --> 00:24:05,670 Say amen. 486 00:24:07,370 --> 00:24:07,930 Hallelujah. 487 00:24:08,610 --> 00:24:12,450 That moment, I'm absolutely sure, the heart of 488 00:24:12,450 --> 00:24:14,010 Jesus broke open. 489 00:24:14,230 --> 00:24:16,310 And the heart of that woman opened. 490 00:24:16,970 --> 00:24:19,030 And you know, the love of Jesus was 491 00:24:19,030 --> 00:24:21,770 flowing from his heart into her heart. 492 00:24:21,930 --> 00:24:24,130 For the first time, she knew what love 493 00:24:24,130 --> 00:24:25,830 was, real love. 494 00:24:26,090 --> 00:24:28,870 That what she had called love before, hadn't 495 00:24:28,870 --> 00:24:30,010 been love at all. 496 00:24:30,310 --> 00:24:33,390 It was rottenness, and it was death, and 497 00:24:33,390 --> 00:24:34,570 it was bondage. 498 00:24:34,570 --> 00:24:38,470 Now she tasted the love of all loves, 499 00:24:38,830 --> 00:24:40,750 the love of Jesus Christ. 500 00:24:41,090 --> 00:24:42,010 Oh, hallelujah. 501 00:24:43,890 --> 00:24:45,710 Her chains fell off. 502 00:24:46,930 --> 00:24:48,570 Her heart set free. 503 00:24:50,670 --> 00:24:57,770 She rose, went forth, and followed him. 504 00:24:57,990 --> 00:24:58,230 Amen. 505 00:24:59,590 --> 00:25:02,590 Oh, blessed be the name of the Lord. 506 00:25:02,910 --> 00:25:05,390 What a wonderful Jesus we have. 507 00:25:05,890 --> 00:25:09,290 I say again, yes, I preach about sin. 508 00:25:09,610 --> 00:25:10,710 I have to. 509 00:25:10,850 --> 00:25:12,870 Otherwise, you can't preach about salvation. 510 00:25:14,510 --> 00:25:15,690 We are sinners. 511 00:25:16,630 --> 00:25:17,990 Let's not pretend. 512 00:25:19,110 --> 00:25:20,850 And we come short of the glory of 513 00:25:20,850 --> 00:25:21,270 God. 514 00:25:21,830 --> 00:25:24,170 But that's the very reason why Jesus came. 515 00:25:25,290 --> 00:25:25,870 Say amen. 516 00:25:27,690 --> 00:25:28,290 Hallelujah. 517 00:25:29,810 --> 00:25:32,830 Now, I've got one more point, but it's 518 00:25:32,830 --> 00:25:33,490 the best one. 519 00:25:34,350 --> 00:25:35,070 Are you ready? 520 00:25:36,020 --> 00:25:37,930 If you don't enjoy my preaching, I enjoy 521 00:25:37,930 --> 00:25:38,570 it myself. 522 00:25:42,810 --> 00:25:43,630 Hallelujah. 523 00:25:46,630 --> 00:25:48,830 Praise God, praise God. 524 00:25:49,630 --> 00:25:51,970 Listen, this is amazing. 525 00:25:53,270 --> 00:25:56,290 Some theologians say John chapter 8 is a 526 00:25:56,290 --> 00:25:57,190 problem text. 527 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,530 They say it's a problem text. 528 00:26:03,050 --> 00:26:06,570 They say the Pharisees spoke the truth. 529 00:26:07,730 --> 00:26:13,530 It is written in my Bible and blow 530 00:26:13,530 --> 00:26:14,610 the dust of yours. 531 00:26:16,430 --> 00:26:18,770 It's written in your Bible. 532 00:26:20,150 --> 00:26:23,530 In Leviticus 21st 10, it says that a 533 00:26:23,530 --> 00:26:26,770 man or a woman who commit adultery must 534 00:26:26,770 --> 00:26:28,530 be stoned to death. 535 00:26:29,070 --> 00:26:31,470 And these people say the problem is that 536 00:26:31,470 --> 00:26:40,840 Jesus actually was obliged to act on 537 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:41,620 Leviticus. 538 00:26:42,900 --> 00:26:45,480 And do what the word of God commanded 539 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:46,120 him to do. 540 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:47,960 He should have done it. 541 00:26:49,780 --> 00:26:53,140 Jesus should have executed this woman in order 542 00:26:53,140 --> 00:26:54,660 to fulfill the word of God. 543 00:26:54,660 --> 00:27:01,100 Now, these theologians should go back to Bible 544 00:27:01,100 --> 00:27:05,040 school who say that. 545 00:27:06,380 --> 00:27:07,480 I'll tell you why. 546 00:27:08,500 --> 00:27:10,720 I want you to know why Jesus didn't 547 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:15,220 pick up stones to execute that woman. 548 00:27:15,540 --> 00:27:16,300 Do you want to know? 549 00:27:17,500 --> 00:27:20,380 Listen, this is the heart of the gospel. 550 00:27:20,780 --> 00:27:23,440 It's the heart of the heart of the 551 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:23,840 gospel. 552 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,980 It's the center focus of the gospel of 553 00:27:27,980 --> 00:27:28,660 Jesus Christ. 554 00:27:28,900 --> 00:27:32,000 What I'm telling you now, why didn't Jesus 555 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,580 stoop down to pick up boulders and throw 556 00:27:35,580 --> 00:27:37,880 them into the face of that woman and 557 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:39,580 the faces of these hypocrites? 558 00:27:41,220 --> 00:27:43,300 He didn't execute that woman. 559 00:27:44,340 --> 00:27:47,800 He didn't stoop down to pick up stones 560 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,340 with his hands because at that moment he 561 00:27:50,340 --> 00:27:53,560 was already on his way to Calvary. 562 00:27:54,460 --> 00:28:00,340 To be executed on behalf of that woman. 563 00:28:06,330 --> 00:28:07,170 Hallelujah. 564 00:28:10,910 --> 00:28:16,230 Jesus, Jesus took her curse, put it on 565 00:28:16,230 --> 00:28:16,610 him. 566 00:28:17,450 --> 00:28:21,150 Her death sentence he took from her, put 567 00:28:21,150 --> 00:28:22,010 it on him. 568 00:28:22,430 --> 00:28:25,230 Walked to the cross, died in her stead. 569 00:28:25,750 --> 00:28:28,270 Died for me, died for you. 570 00:28:28,270 --> 00:28:30,170 Died for us all. 571 00:28:30,330 --> 00:28:30,930 Hallelujah. 572 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:40,100 Jesus died for us that we may live. 573 00:28:43,210 --> 00:28:45,210 We don't throw stones. 574 00:28:48,460 --> 00:28:51,740 We invite sinners to come because Jesus said 575 00:28:51,740 --> 00:28:52,960 he didn't condemn. 576 00:28:53,260 --> 00:28:54,840 He didn't come to condemn sinners. 577 00:28:55,060 --> 00:28:56,220 He came to save them. 578 00:28:56,820 --> 00:28:59,180 Neither did he come to shame sinners. 579 00:28:59,540 --> 00:29:01,180 He came to save sinners. 580 00:29:02,300 --> 00:29:03,260 That is Jesus. 581 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,040 This wonderful, wonderful, wonderful Jesus. 582 00:29:08,280

00:31:12,610 --> 00:31:13,370 Keep it up. 627 00:31:13,910 --> 00:31:15,090 Husbands, keep it up. 628 00:31:18,410 --> 00:31:19,770 But I want you to know one thing, 629 00:31:19,830 --> 00:31:21,270 and that is the principle in scripture. 630 00:31:21,430 --> 00:31:23,170 And that's why I'm not getting tired to 631 00:31:23,170 --> 00:31:23,650 say it. 632 00:31:25,030 --> 00:31:29,170 You can have forgiveness for your biggest sin. 633 00:31:29,630 --> 00:31:33,750 But you need forgiveness for your smallest sin. 634 00:31:35,170 --> 00:31:38,250 With God, the point is not whether you 635 00:31:38,250 --> 00:31:42,710 have now committed 9,999 sins or only 636 00:31:42,710 --> 00:31:44,010 99 sins. 637 00:31:44,250 --> 00:31:46,970 The truth is, we are sinners and we 638 00:31:46,970 --> 00:31:47,770 need salvation. 639 00:31:49,390 --> 00:31:51,210 And if I should just be a very 640 00:31:51,210 --> 00:31:55,370 small sinner, that small sin, if it is 641 00:31:55,370 --> 00:31:57,570 not forgiven and washed in the blood of 642 00:31:57,570 --> 00:32:00,410 Jesus, is enough to send me to hell. 643 00:32:01,570 --> 00:32:04,110 I want to say to anyone who thinks 644 00:32:04,110 --> 00:32:06,270 I am not a sinner because I have 645 00:32:06,270 --> 00:32:08,510 killed nobody and I robbed no bank. 646 00:32:09,610 --> 00:32:13,150 I tell you, you need Jesus as much 647 00:32:13,150 --> 00:32:14,930 as the biggest sinner in the world. 648 00:32:15,270 --> 00:32:16,450 We all need Jesus. 649 00:32:16,890 --> 00:32:19,610 There is no salvation, no eternal life without 650 00:32:19,610 --> 00:32:20,590 Jesus Christ. 651 00:32:21,550 --> 00:32:22,510 Is that clear? 652 00:32:23,430 --> 00:32:23,990 Amen. 653 00:32:25,890 --> 00:32:26,510 Hallelujah. 654 00:32:26,510 --> 00:32:26,730 Hallelujah. 655 00:32:28,630 --> 00:32:31,390 Those Pharisees, when they got hold of that 656 00:32:31,390 --> 00:32:33,030 woman, I mean, they really kicked her. 657 00:32:34,370 --> 00:32:39,050 That was the introduction to the stoning. 658 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:43,540 And you know what struck me all of 659 00:32:43,540 --> 00:32:43,980 a sudden? 660 00:32:44,700 --> 00:32:47,920 These men meant to kick her into the 661 00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:48,360 grave. 662 00:32:49,100 --> 00:32:53,040 And just by accident, they kicked that woman 663 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:57,680 to the only Savior between heaven and earth. 664 00:32:59,220 --> 00:33:00,680 Isn't that marvelous? 665 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:03,720 Hallelujah. 666 00:33:05,820 --> 00:33:09,120 I mean, she never had planned to attend 667 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,820 a crusade with Jesus as the preacher. 668 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:17,120 And here these men kicked her right into 669 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:17,920 his arms. 670 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:21,820 Is that wonderful? 671 00:33:25,060 --> 00:33:27,760 I must confess, I sometimes feel like kicking 672 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:28,140 too. 673 00:33:29,420 --> 00:33:31,180 Some people are so stubborn. 674 00:33:31,900 --> 00:33:33,500 They don't want to come to Jesus. 675 00:33:34,300 --> 00:33:37,540 But I kick nobody because nobody is going 676 00:33:37,540 --> 00:33:38,900 to be kidnapped to heaven. 677 00:33:39,900 --> 00:33:41,460 In heaven will only be volunteers. 678 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:43,120 Amen. 679

will accept you because he has said, 683 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,260 he who comes to me or she who 684 00:33:54,260 --> 00:33:56,400 comes to me, I will under no circumstances 685 00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:56,860 refuse. 686 00:33:57,800 --> 00:33:58,900 This is the guarantee. 687 00:33:58,900 --> 00:34:01,320 But if you come, you're welcome. 688 00:34:02,020 --> 00:34:02,540 Hallelujah. 689 00:34:04,460 --> 00:34:05,560 Glory to God. 690 00:34:08,260 --> 00:34:09,840 Blessed be the name of the Lord. 691 00:34:11,739 --> 00:34:12,460 No, no, no. 692 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:13,360 We don't kick people. 693 00:34:14,179 --> 00:34:15,679 But I would like to put my arm 694 00:34:15,679 --> 00:34:16,320 around you. 695 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:20,040 And I want to say, you're so miserable 696 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:20,620 anyway. 697 00:34:21,739 --> 00:34:23,760 Why don't you want to come and receive 698 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:24,179 Jesus? 699 00:34:25,340 --> 00:34:27,260 Jesus will wash your sins away. 700 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:28,820 He'll break every chain. 701 00:34:28,820 --> 00:34:31,219 He'll remove all the torture of fear. 702 00:34:31,420 --> 00:34:35,199 He will remove all those evil, evil perversions 703 00:34:35,199 --> 00:34:36,480 or whatever it may be. 704 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:40,000 Jesus is here to set you free and 705 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,219 to turn you into a new man, into 706 00:34:42,219 --> 00:34:44,620 a new woman, a new boy, a new 707 00:34:44,620 --> 00:34:45,139 girl. 708 00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:47,000 Say amen. 709 00:34:49,199 --> 00:34:50,320 One more thing. 710 00:34:51,580 --> 00:34:53,800 You know, an evangelist always has three endings. 711 00:34:56,730 --> 00:34:57,750 One more thing. 712 00:35:02,740 --> 00:35:05,300 Let me talk once more about the Pharisees, 713 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,160 because that sums it all up. 714 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,020 When the Pharisees picked up their holy garments 715 00:35:15,620 --> 00:35:21,160 and put in the reverse gear, they made 716 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,340 the mistake of all mistakes. 717 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:30,200 They made the greatest mistake a human being 718 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:31,120 can make. 719 00:35:33,180 --> 00:35:35,560 If you marry the wrong woman, it's a 720 00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:36,480 very big mistake. 721 00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:37,780 But it's not the worst. 722 00:35:42,390 --> 00:35:44,690 If you marry the wrong man, it's a 723 00:35:44,690 --> 00:35:45,310 big mistake. 724 00:35:45,470 --> 00:35:46,850 It's not the worst. 725 00:35:47,990 --> 00:35:52,810 But if you miss Jesus, if you miss 726 00:35:52,810 --> 00:35:59,450 Jesus, you have decided your destiny for time 727 00:35:59,450 --> 00:36:01,530 and eternity is decided. 728 00:36:03,210 --> 00:36:06,190 That's why we preach and say, come to 729 00:36:06,190 --> 00:36:06,830 Jesus. 730 00:36:09,210 --> 00:36:10,890 You will find salvation here. 731 00:36:11,850 --> 00:36:13,890 And we will meet in the new Jerusalem 732 00:36:13,890 --> 00:36:15,790 one day. 733 00:36:16,270 --> 00:36:18,070 What a day that will be. 734 00:36:18,750 --> 00:36:20,290 What a wonderful day. 735 00:36:21,270 --> 00:36:21,790 Now listen. 736 00:36:24,050 --> 00:36:29,610 I cannot imagine what a terrible mistake that 737 00:36:29,610 --> 00:36:29,990 was. 738 00:36:30,150 --> 00:36:32,670 These men, when the Holy Spirit convicted them 739 00:36:32,670 --> 00:36:34,650 of their sin, telling them you are sinners, 740 00:36:35,010 --> 00:36:37,530 you are sinners, you are also sinners. 741 00:36:37,810 --> 00:36:40,350 Not only that woman, they put in the 742 00:36:40,350 --> 00:36:41,030 reverse gear. 743 00:36:42,370 --> 00:36:44,510 Oh, my God. 744 00:36:45,350 --> 00:36:49,050 So close to the only Savior. 745 00:36:50,370 --> 00:36:54,190 So close to the gate of salvation. 746 00:36:55,930 --> 00:36:59,270 So close to Jesus, the only Savior. 747 00:37:00,390 --> 00:37:02,590 And just because of pride. 748 00:37:04,220 --> 00:37:10,930 What made my colleagues think they're all like 749 00:37:10,930 --> 00:37:13,710 a choir put in the reverse gear together. 750 00:37:15,630 --> 00:37:18,150 My God have mercy. 751 00:37:19,250 --> 00:37:22,890 I thought if I may say so, if 752 00:37:22,890 --> 00:37:26,570 I had been there that day, please bear 753 00:37:26,570 --> 00:37:28,070 with me if I say it, but I 754 00:37:28,070 --> 00:37:29,690 mean it with all of my heart. 755 00:37:31,170 --> 00:37:39,890 Instead of walking backwards, I would have rushed 756 00:37:39,890 --> 00:37:40,470 forward. 757 00:37:41,410 --> 00:37:43,590 I would have knelt right next to that 758 00:37:43,590 --> 00:37:44,190 woman there. 759 00:37:45,310 --> 00:37:46,930 I would have lifted my hands. 760 00:37:47,910 --> 00:37:50,470 And I would have said, Lord Jesus, I 761 00:37:50,470 --> 00:37:51,790 did not commit adultery. 762 00:37:52,710 --> 00:37:54,990 Lord Jesus, my heart is also full of 763 00:37:54,990 --> 00:37:55,450 sin. 764 00:37:56,070 --> 00:37:57,750 And I need forgiveness. 765 00:37:58,110 --> 00:38:00,110 I need forgiveness myself. 766 00:38:00,310 --> 00:38:03,210 Oh, Lord Jesus, please save me as well. 767 00:38:05,340 --> 00:38:07,380 It is so easy to be a hypocrite. 768 00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,040 Because somebody is next to you or behind 769 00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:11,020 you or before you. 770 00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,280 You don't want to think that he may 771 00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,980 or she may think you are a sinner. 772 00:38:18,150 --> 00:38:19,910 I want to urge you in the name 773 00:38:19,910 --> 00:38:20,710 of Jesus. 774 00:38:22,250 --> 00:38:26,450 Kneel next to that woman where hundreds of 775 00:38:26,450 --> 00:38:28,510 millions have knelt already. 776 00:38:29,590 --> 00:38:34,270 Jesus took their curses away and put salvation 777 00:38:34,270 --> 00:38:35,530 into their lives. 778 00:38:36,110 --> 00:38:38,270 He will say to you, go home with 779 00:38:38,270 --> 00:38:41,290 peace because he will take your burdens. 780 00:38:41,710 --> 00:38:43,310 He will take all curses. 781 00:38:43,490 --> 00:38:45,350 He will take all torments. 782 00:38:45,610 --> 00:38:47,770 He will take it away and he will 783 00:38:47,770 --> 00:38:49,890 send you home with his peace. 784 00:38:50,850 --> 00:38:52,670 What a wonderful savior. 785 00:38:54,030 --> 00:38:55,770 What a wonderful Jesus. 786 00:38:57,370 --> 00:38:58,370 Say amen. 787 00:39:00,700 --> 00:39:02,740 So easy to be a hypocrite. 788 00:39:03,720 --> 00:39:06,840 Nothing is easier than to be a hypocrite. 789 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,580 I'm challenging you, young or old, no matter 790 00:39:11,580 --> 00:39:16,400 what status you have in society, rich or 791 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:16,740 poor. 792 00:39:17,900 --> 00:39:21,160 You need Jesus and you need him now. 793 00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,200 Because today is the day of salvation. 794 00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:26,820 We don't know whether we live tomorrow. 795 00:39:27,860 --> 00:39:29,840 This day is our opportunity. 796 00:39:30,940 --> 00:39:33,820 That's why we must come right now in 797 00:39:33,820 --> 00:39:34,660 Jesus' name. 798 00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:36,260 Say amen. 799 00:39:40,350 --> 00:39:42,590 I was preaching in a big crusade meeting. 800 00:39:43,470 --> 00:39:45,010 In those days, we still called those who 801 00:39:45,010 --> 00:39:47,070 wanted to receive salvation forward. 802 00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:51,120 I never forget this. 803 00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:52,480 I've got witnesses here. 804 00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,720 And there came a big crowd of people 805 00:39:57,720 --> 00:39:59,600 standing here wanting to receive Jesus as their 806 00:39:59,600 --> 00:39:59,860 savior. 807 00:40:00,540 --> 00:40:01,920 And he was in Africa. 808 00:40:02,460 --> 00:40:03,860 He was standing a young man. 809 00:40:04,540 --> 00:40:06,220 I think he was about 20 years of 810 00:40:06,220 --> 00:40:06,500 age. 811 00:40:08,930 --> 00:40:11,310 He looked at me like this. 812 00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:15,920 I let him in the prayer of salvation. 813 00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:16,980 I said, close your eyes. 814 00:40:17,500 --> 00:40:19,160 Let's call on the name of Jesus for 815 00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:19,640 salvation. 816 00:40:24,110 --> 00:40:25,790 When I opened my eyes, I looked for 817 00:40:25,790 --> 00:40:25,950 him. 818 00:40:26,050 --> 00:40:27,250 I couldn't see him anymore. 819 00:40:28,410 --> 00:40:29,950 I thought, what happened to him? 820 00:40:31,110 --> 00:40:32,690 When I looked again, oh, he was on 821 00:40:32,690 --> 00:40:33,070 the floor. 822 00:40:33,910 --> 00:40:37,750 I thought that I thought he was under 823 00:40:37,750 --> 00:40:38,410 the power. 824 00:40:39,830 --> 00:40:41,510 He wasn't under the power. 825 00:40:41,650 --> 00:40:42,770 He was dead. 826 00:40:47,390 --> 00:40:47,830 Wow. 827 00:40:48,910 --> 00:40:50,510 I said, how can this be? 828 00:40:51,450 --> 00:40:52,950 How can this be? 829 00:40:54,450 --> 00:40:55,410 It's impossible. 830 00:40:56,130 --> 00:40:57,830 We want to raise him from the dead. 831 00:40:59,910 --> 00:41:01,990 We prayed and prayed and prayed, but he 832 00:41:01,990 --> 00:41:02,830 didn't wake up. 833 00:41:04,530 --> 00:41:06,570 And I was so distressed. 834 00:41:06,790 --> 00:41:08,570 I said, Lord, how can this happen in 835 00:41:08,570 --> 00:41:09,230 my meeting? 836 00:41:10,870 --> 00:41:13,070 All of a sudden, the Holy Spirit spoke 837 00:41:13,070 --> 00:41:13,590 to me. 838 00:41:14,310 --> 00:41:22,930 He said, that young man, three seconds before 839 00:41:22,930 --> 00:41:28,010 his clock, his time was up, stepped across 840 00:41:28,010 --> 00:41:31,670 the threshold into the arms of Jesus. 841 00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,720 Young people normally think, oh, I'm 20. 842 00:41:42,460 --> 00:41:45,600 I'm still going to live 60 more years. 843 00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:49,200 Then I can think about getting saved. 844 00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:52,720 I want you to know one thing. 845 00:41:53,600 --> 00:42:00,600 When we think of our lifespan, the border 846 00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:03,620 to eternity is never ahead of us. 847 00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:04,800 Never, never. 848 00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:06,400 It's a mistake. 849 00:42:07,540 --> 00:42:11,380 The border to eternity is always running parallel 850 00:42:11,380 --> 00:42:12,240 to life. 851 00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:14,300 Always parallel to life. 852 00:42:14,300 --> 00:42:17,960 And it can be crossed over any day. 853 00:42:19,700 --> 00:42:22,200 Whether old or young, it doesn't matter. 854 00:42:22,460 --> 00:42:24,600 It can be crossed over any day. 855 00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:26,760 That's why the Bible says today is the 856 00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:27,540 day of salvation. 857 00:42:27,980 --> 00:42:30,020 And I say to every young person, the 858 00:42:30,020 --> 00:42:33,020 youngest and the oldest, come on, get right 859 00:42:33,020 --> 00:42:33,680 with God. 860 00:42:34,020 --> 00:42:36,200 And you backslider, you better come and slide 861 00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:37,080 back to Jesus. 862 00:42:40,490 --> 00:42:42,730 Jesus is not here to condemn you. 863 00:42:43,210 --> 00:42:44,650 He's here to save you. 864 00:42:45,530 --> 00:42:47,690 And he will wash you from all impurities, 865 00:42:48,470 --> 00:42:50,170 all these vile lusts. 866 00:42:51,370 --> 00:42:56,010 This Jesus called his generation an adulterous generation. 867 00:42:56,450 --> 00:42:59,370 If ever a generation has been adulterous, it's 868 00:42:59,370 --> 00:43:00,310 this generation. 869 00:43:01,130 --> 00:43:03,390 But Jesus is here to save as he 870 00:43:03,390 --> 00:43:04,670 was then there to save. 871 00:43:05,150 --> 00:43:08,050 He is our glorious and wonderful savior. 872 00:43:08,670 --> 00:43:09,430 Say amen. 873 00:43:10,870 --> 00:43:11,350 Hallelujah. 874 00:43:12,490 --> 00:43:14,090 This is the heart of the gospel. 875 00:43:14,090 --> 00:43:15,770 Somebody died in my place. 876 00:43:16,050 --> 00:43:17,610 Somebody died in your place. 877 00:43:19,790 --> 00:43:21,410 And if you come to him, he will 878 00:43:21,410 --> 00:43:22,650 give you eternal life. 879 00:43:23,530 --> 00:43:26,770 Eternal life through Jesus Christ, our Lord. 880 00:43:27,430 --> 00:43:27,810 Amen. 881 00:43:29,110 --> 00:43:31,570 Don't please, I beg you, don't be a 882 00:43:31,570 --> 00:43:32,050 hypocrite. 883 00:43:33,290 --> 00:43:34,670 Don't walk out. 884 00:43:35,510 --> 00:43:38,690 And you know, your heart condemns you. 885 00:43:39,430 --> 00:43:41,010 Come and make right with God. 886 00:43:41,730 --> 00:43:42,970 Receive him as your savior. 887 00:43:43,730 --> 00:43:46,010 And he will put his hand on you. 888 00:43:46,390 --> 00:43:48,250 And your life will change. 889 00:43:49,050 --> 00:43:49,390 Amen. 890 00:43:50,390 --> 00:43:51,730 He forgives you. 891 00:43:52,210 --> 00:43:54,610 Let's close our eyes in the presence of 892 00:43:54,610 --> 00:43:55,050 the Lord. 893 00:43:55,430 --> 00:43:58,650 Lord, I thank you for the Holy Spirit 894 00:43:58,650 --> 00:43:59,590 that is

be 898 00:44:08,870 --> 00:44:10,010 hypocritical here. 899 00:44:10,870 --> 00:44:14,010 That nobody may fear man more than God. 900 00:44:14,410 --> 00:44:16,610 I pray, oh Lord, that we may come 901 00:44:16,610 --> 00:44:18,310 to you just as we are. 902 00:44:19,510 --> 00:44:21,410 I pray, oh Lord, that you may be 903 00:44:21,410 --> 00:44:24,450 nobody who pretends to be a Christian. 904 00:44:25,750 --> 00:44:27,130 But actually is nothing. 905 00:44:28,290 --> 00:44:30,650 I pray, oh Lord, that you may forgive 906 00:44:30,650 --> 00:44:31,390 sins. 907 00:44:31,830 --> 00:44:33,690 That you may break chains. 908 00:44:34,530 --> 00:44:36,490 That you will set people free. 909 00:44:36,490 --> 00:44:40,470 From all that binds them. 910 00:44:41,190 --> 00:44:43,170 While all our eyes are closed. 911 00:44:43,710 --> 00:44:47,170 I want to ask who's here this evening. 912 00:44:47,450 --> 00:44:50,090 You want to say, Lord, I want to 913 00:44:50,090 --> 00:44:51,270 kneel

00:44:59,890 --> 00:45:01,710 Or you say, I'm a backslider. 918 00:45:01,810 --> 00:45:03,490 I want to come back to Jesus. 919 00:45:05,850 --> 00:45:08,590 I want Jesus to save me now. 920 00:45:09,050 --> 00:45:10,610 I'm not going to leave. 921 00:45:11,290 --> 00:45:14,170 Because I'm going to kneel next to that 922 00:45:14,170 --> 00:45:16,070 woman in Jesus' name. 923 00:45:16,490

And all those who lifted their hands and 956 00:46:13,310 --> 00:46:15,290 want Jesus to forgive their sins. 957 00:46:15,670 --> 00:46:17,490 You want Jesus to forgive your sins. 958 00:46:17,650 -->

00:46:42,350 I tell you, it's my greatest privilege in 969 00:46:42,350 --> 00:46:42,830 life. 970 00:46:43,510 --> 00:46:46,330 And the decision you take now that have 971 00:46:46,330 --> 00:46:49,410 responded is the greatest decision you have ever 972 00:46:49,410 --> 00:46:51,430 made in time and eternity. 973 00:46:52,410 --> 00:46:55,670 And that you have come forward is a 974 00:46:55,670 --> 00:46:57,530 mighty courageous act. 975 00:46:58,830 --> 00:47:01,430 But you've come to Jesus, not to a 976 00:47:01,430 --> 00:47:01,830 man. 977 00:47:02,650 --> 00:47:03,510 He loves you. 978 00:47:04,430 --> 00:47:06,830 He loved you enough to die for you. 979 00:47:07,450 --> 00:47:09,290 He loved you enough to take your curse 980 00:47:09,290 --> 00:47:12,490 and give you eternal life. 981 00:47:13,350 --> 00:47:16,770 And a new heart, a pure heart and 982 00:47:16,770 --> 00:47:17,830 a clean life. 983 00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:21,040 We are not going to call on the 984 00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:23,120 name of Jesus because the Bible says, he 985 00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:24,580 who calls upon the name of the Lord 986 00:47:24,580 --> 00:47:25,820 shall be saved. 987 00:47:26,820 --> 00:47:28,500 And when we do that, we will be 988 00:47:28,500 --> 00:47:30,520 saved because God is not a man that 989 00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:31,080 he should lie. 990 00:47:32,140 --> 00:47:32,620 Amen. 991 00:47:34,900 --> 00:47:38,460 Just bring your heart to Jesus, your sinful 992 00:47:38,460 --> 00:47:38,980 heart. 993 00:47:41,090 --> 00:47:43,510 Just give it to Jesus and say, Lord, 994 00:47:44,090 --> 00:47:50,270 I have deserved judgment because I am guilty. 995 00:47:50,850 --> 00:47:52,690 I've broken your commandments. 996 00:47:53,630 --> 00:47:55,510 I've sinned against you. 997 00:47:55,970 --> 00:47:58,350 I've sinned against people. 998 00:47:58,690 --> 00:48:00,510 I've sinned against myself. 999 00:48:02,950 --> 00:48:06,840 Lord, save me now. 1000 00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:08,840 And he will do it. 1001 00:48:09,300 --> 00:48:11,160 And then something glorious happens. 1002 00:48:11,340 --> 00:48:14,520 The blood of Jesus becomes efficacious and it 1003 00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:15,900 washes all your sins away. 1004 00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:18,800 And you will not just be cleansed. 1005 00:48:19,020 --> 00:48:21,640 But the Bible speaks about being justified by 1006 00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:22,080 faith. 1007 00:48:22,500 --> 00:48:25,260 It means God will justify you. 1008 00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:29,280 And he looks upon you as if you 1009 00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:30,500 have never sinned. 1010 00:48:31,060 --> 00:48:33,240 That is the glory of salvation. 1011 00:48:34,620 --> 00:48:36,040 We are now going to call on the 1012 00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:36,760 name of Jesus. 1013 00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:39,940 As Romans 10, 13 says, whosoever calls upon 1014 00:48:39,940 --> 00:48:41,440 the name of the Lord shall be saved. 1015 00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:44,320 I'm asking everybody just to lift your hands 1016 00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:44,660 to heaven. 1017 00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:45,760 Close your eyes. 1018 00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:48,640 I want you here in front to repeat 1019 00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:49,740 this prayer after me. 1020 00:48:50,060 --> 00:48:55,320 And I want everybody wherever you are to 1021 00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:57,480 support those who pray it here in front. 1022 00:48:57,860 --> 00:49:00,440 We will pray it together loud and clear. 1023 00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:02,800 The main thing is this is not a 1024 00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:04,060 formula for salvation. 1025 00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:07,100 You just cry from the bottom of your 1026 00:49:07,100 --> 00:49:09,220 heart and mean every word. 1027
