1
00:00:01,860 --> 00:00:06,880
Great God, desolation is all around us as

2
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,120
we struggle in a world gone mad.

3
00:00:10,540 --> 00:00:15,360
The devil prowls our communities, ravishing our young

4
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:20,040
with drugs and alcohol, pornography and sex.

5
00:00:20,700 --> 00:00:25,220
In absence of spiritual leaders, we experience your

6
00:00:25,220 --> 00:00:28,560
absence among us as we have grieved your

7
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:33,240
spirit away by reckless, unabashed sin.

8
00:00:33,740 --> 00:00:36,880
Grant us, great God, the grace to see

9
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,280
our crimes against thee in your broken law.

10
00:00:40,660 --> 00:00:44,660
Shine the spotlight of your purity into our

11
00:00:44,660 --> 00:00:48,180
hearts and bring us into conviction of sin.

12
00:00:48,660 --> 00:00:52,860
Grant us the grace of repentance to turn

13
00:00:52,860 --> 00:00:55,620
back to you in a day of evil.

14
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:00,960
I pray that you move in someone's heart

15
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,200
today, Lord, and I pray you disturb the

16
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:05,420
hardened sinner.

17
00:01:05,980 --> 00:01:09,320
I pray that a sovereign God will single

18
00:01:09,320 --> 00:01:12,280
someone out and come in their life with

19
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:13,800
divine power.

20
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,880
Salvation is of the Lord, your word declares.

21
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,120
Now, O Lord, bless the reading of your

22
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:23,140
holy word.

23
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,380
I pray these things in the strong name

24
00:01:26,380 --> 00:01:27,140
of Jesus.

25
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:28,400
Amen.

26
00:01:30,020 --> 00:01:35,120
In Hebrews 927 we read, And as it

27
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,320
is appointed unto man once to die, but

28
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:39,860
after this the judgment.

29
00:01:40,500 --> 00:01:43,340
Listen, friend, you have a red letter day

30
00:01:43,340 --> 00:01:45,500
in God's appointment book.

31
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,400
You will one day die in a peer

32
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,100
at a calming judgment.

33
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,360
The title of my message today, friends, is

34
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,860
the final judgment day.

35
00:01:56,180 --> 00:01:59,360
We will focus our attention in the book

36
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,980
of Revelation and chapter 20.

37
00:02:02,220 --> 00:02:07,060
In Revelation chapter 20 verses 11 through 15

38
00:02:07,060 --> 00:02:11,740
we read, And I saw a great white

39
00:02:11,740 --> 00:02:15,420
throne, and him that sat on it, from

40
00:02:15,420 --> 00:02:18,980
whose face the earth and the heaven fled

41
00:02:18,980 --> 00:02:21,860
away, and there was found no place for

42
00:02:21,860 --> 00:02:22,340
them.

43
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,720
And I saw the dead, small and great,

44
00:02:26,060 --> 00:02:27,720
stand before God.

45
00:02:27,940 --> 00:02:31,040
And the books were opened, and another book

46
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:35,020
was opened, which is the book of life.

47
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,040
And the dead were judged out of those

48
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,160
things which were written in the books.

49
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,140
According to their works.

50
00:02:43,700 --> 00:02:45,540
And the sea gave up the dead which

51
00:02:45,540 --> 00:02:49,280
were in it, and death and hell delivered

52
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,380
up the dead which were in them.

53
00:02:51,740 --> 00:02:55,220
And they were judged, every man, according to

54
00:02:55,220 --> 00:02:56,160
their works.

55
00:02:56,660 --> 00:03:00,160
And death and hell were cast into the

56
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:01,460
lake of fire.

57
00:03:02,020 --> 00:03:04,180
This is the second death.

58
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,760
And whosoever was not found written in the

59
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,140
book of life was cast into the lake

60
00:03:11,140 --> 00:03:11,240
of fire.

61
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:11,340
And whosoever was not found written in the

62
00:03:11,340 --> 00:03:11,440
book of life was cast into the lake

63
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:11,540
of fire.

64
00:03:11,540 --> 00:03:11,640
And whosoever was not found written in the

65
00:03:11,640 --> 00:03:11,740
book of life was cast into the lake

66
00:03:11,740 --> 00:03:11,840
of fire.

67
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:11,940
And whosoever was not found written in the

68
00:03:11,940 --> 00:03:12,040
book of life was cast into the lake

69
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:12,140
of fire.

70
00:03:12,140 --> 00:03:12,240
And whosoever was not found written in the

71
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:12,340
book of life was cast into the lake

72
00:03:12,340 --> 00:03:12,440
of fire.

73
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:12,540
And whosoever was not found written in the

74
00:03:12,540 --> 00:03:12,640
book of life was cast into the lake

75
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:12,740
of fire.

76
00:03:12,740 --> 00:03:12,840
And whosoever was not found written in the

77
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:12,940
book of life was cast into the lake

78
00:03:12,940 --> 00:03:13,040
of fire.

79
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:13,140
And whosoever was not found written in the

80
00:03:13,140 --> 00:03:13,240
book of life was cast into the lake

81
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:13,460
of fire.

82
00:03:14,820 --> 00:03:19,920
Here we see God's majesty and man's accountability.

83
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,000
We see the holiness of God and the

84
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,480
sinfulness of man.

85
00:03:26,100 --> 00:03:29,240
We see a broken law and the throne

86
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:29,960
of justice.

87
00:03:30,780 --> 00:03:33,940
We see the stark reality of a heaven

88
00:03:33,940 --> 00:03:34,760
and a hell.

89
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,440
That day a judgment has come.

90
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,460
It's a universal judgment, a judgment according to

91
00:03:41,460 --> 00:03:42,060
works.

92
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,140
It is the last judgment.

93
00:03:45,060 --> 00:03:48,660
As Moses trembled at the foot of Mount

94
00:03:48,660 --> 00:03:51,400
Sinai when it was all together on a

95
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:52,000
smoke.

96
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,060
So this great white throne and the judge

97
00:03:56,060 --> 00:03:59,120
who is sitting on it is so terrible

98
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,980
to behold that the very earth and heaven

99
00:04:02,980 --> 00:04:05,060
flee from his presence.

100
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,900
He's going to try and convince me that

101
00:04:08,900 --> 00:04:12,400
the arrogant atheists will shake his fist at

102
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,019
almighty God and that day the last judgment

103
00:04:16,019 --> 00:04:19,579
will be so intimidating it will make knees

104
00:04:19,579 --> 00:04:20,480
go to knocking.

105
00:04:21,100 --> 00:04:23,460
It's tears will make blood drain out of

106
00:04:23,460 --> 00:04:27,500
faces and its sentencing will create shrieks of

107
00:04:27,500 --> 00:04:29,320
anguish and regret.

108
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,920
It's a heavenly courtroom scene.

109
00:04:34,460 --> 00:04:37,680
John Wesley called it the grand size.

110
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,400
There stands the small and great.

111
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,180
There stands Caesar.

112
00:04:43,820 --> 00:04:44,940
There stands Hitler.

113
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,060
There stands the serial killer and the pornographer.

114
00:04:49,700 --> 00:04:54,280
There stands the adulterer and fornicator and murderer.

115
00:04:54,280 --> 00:04:59,060
There stands kings and queens and presidents.

116
00:04:59,460 --> 00:05:04,560
There stands the famous Hollywood actors and actresses,

117
00:05:04,660 --> 00:05:07,480
the rock stars and the pop stars.

118
00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:12,640
There stands the billionaires who spent their lives

119
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,760
making money their God.

120
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,760
There stands your next door neighbor that you

121
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,100
never witnessed to.

122
00:05:20,100 --> 00:05:22,560
There stands a family member.

123
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,340
Everyone will be brought one at a time

124
00:05:26,340 --> 00:05:30,440
before that throne and before that judge and

125
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,660
will have to give an account to him.

126
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,700
There's no hurry on that day for time

127
00:05:36,700 --> 00:05:37,780
stands still.

128
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,160
Or sinners as sinners are brought one by

129
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,560
one before that judge.

130
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,520
The Greek word for judged is the word

131
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,240
chrono and it's rich in meaning.

132
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:53,700
It means to divide, to separate, to judge,

133
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,020
to pass sentence, to adjudge, to punishment, to

134
00:05:58,020 --> 00:06:01,520
condemn, to be brought and called into judgment,

135
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,520
to go to law with, a court of

136
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:09,180
justice, one whose business and special gift is

137
00:06:09,180 --> 00:06:13,160
to judge, tested or judged by the sun,

138
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,760
by the light, as spotless, pure, clear and

139
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:18,480
sincere.

140
00:06:19,380 --> 00:06:23,680
So on that day every mother's son will

141
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,120
be arraigned and brought before that throne of

142
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:27,640
judgment.

143
00:06:28,980 --> 00:06:32,780
It's white, which signifies purity and holiness.

144
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,280
Cases will be reviewed, evidence presented.

145
00:06:37,280 --> 00:06:42,280
All will pass beneath the intense scrutiny of

146
00:06:42,280 --> 00:06:45,380
that judge and shall not the judge of

147
00:06:45,380 --> 00:06:47,180
all the earth do right?

148
00:06:47,660 --> 00:06:51,640
We read about this righteous judge in Revelation

149
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:52,520
19.

150
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,360
And I saw heaven opened and behold a

151
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,920
white horse and he that sat upon him

152
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:05,100
was called faithful and true and in righteousness

153
00:07:05,100 --> 00:07:08,580
he doth judge and make war.

154
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,360
His eyes were as a flame of fire

155
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,440
and on his head were many crowns and

156
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,520
out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword

157
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,120
that with it he should smite the nations

158
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,280
and he shall rule them with a rod

159
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,900
of iron and he treadeth the winepress of

160
00:07:28,900 --> 00:07:34,320
the fierceness and wrath of almighty God and

161
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,080
he hath on his vesture and in his

162
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:41,360
thigh a name written King of Kings and

163
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,040
Lord of Lords.

164
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:48,020
Where the great white throne symbolizes purity and

165
00:07:48,020 --> 00:07:52,480
holiness of God Christ Jesus is the judge

166
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,720
seated on that throne and if I may

167
00:07:55,720 --> 00:08:00,260
so speak the angels are bailiffs in charge

168
00:08:00,260 --> 00:08:04,540
of the books Satan is the prosecutor, the

169
00:08:04,540 --> 00:08:08,620
accuser of the brethren There I stand, my

170
00:08:08,620 --> 00:08:11,820
sins stacked up and rise like a mountain

171
00:08:11,820 --> 00:08:15,400
against me I stand in the dark shadow

172
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,800
of my sins My mouth is stopped as

173
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:23,000
my sins accuse me The strictness of God's

174
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,340
unbending law is brought before me held up

175
00:08:27,340 --> 00:08:30,720
against me like a plumb line If I

176
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,120
stand there in my own merits I will

177
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,700
fail that test For no man is perfect

178
00:08:37,700 --> 00:08:40,520
for all have sinned and come short of

179
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,980
the glory of God The sentence of guilty

180
00:08:43,980 --> 00:08:47,580
hangs over my head like the sword of

181
00:08:47,580 --> 00:08:52,960
Damocles ready to descend at any moment Just

182
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,480
then there is a disturbance in the courtroom

183
00:08:56,900 --> 00:09:01,980
and my defense attorney, my advocate, Jesus Christ

184
00:09:01,980 --> 00:09:06,260
rises to his feet He comes beside me,

185
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,880
throws his arms around me and announces to

186
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:15,260
the court He must be acquitted because he's

187
00:09:15,260 --> 00:09:19,520
with me, he's with me He is justified

188
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,800
by my own blood Look in the book

189
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,240
of life and you will find his name

190
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,960
written in there Then a shout of hallelujah

191
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,340
goes up in the courtroom and it echoes

192
00:09:32,340 --> 00:09:36,280
through the chambers and Jesus takes his seat

193
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,020
on that throne again and he looks at

194
00:09:39,020 --> 00:09:41,860
my case now with a different light in

195
00:09:41,860 --> 00:09:44,320
the manner of a judge at a county

196
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,960
fair ready to hand out blue ribbons for

197
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,720
excellence He reviews the gold and silver and

198
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,600
precious stones of a life lived for him

199
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,560
and he begins to hand out crowns to

200
00:09:58,560 --> 00:10:01,560
me which I lay at his nail-pierced

201
00:10:01,560 --> 00:10:06,420
feet The angelic choir sings the hallelujah chorus

202
00:10:06,420 --> 00:10:09,620
as I am given a heavenly escort into

203
00:10:09,620 --> 00:10:14,640
paradise and eternal life I am reunited with

204
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:21,680
friends and family The heavenly portals close behind

205
00:10:21,680 --> 00:10:25,820
me and all attention now goes back to

206
00:10:25,820 --> 00:10:29,380
the courtroom to fall upon the next case

207
00:10:29,380 --> 00:10:33,320
who is up before the judge and solemnity

208
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:38,700
hangs in the air The person standing there

209
00:10:38,700 --> 00:10:42,900
is the unbeliever who has broken God's law

210
00:10:42,900 --> 00:10:46,980
and has no alibi or defense He stands

211
00:10:46,980 --> 00:10:51,120
there as the bailiffs read an unrelenting list

212
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:55,760
of transgressions For there is nothing hid that

213
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,300
shall not be manifested Neither was anything kept

214
00:10:59,300 --> 00:11:04,300
secret but that it should come abroad Every

215
00:11:04,300 --> 00:11:08,540
dirty, rotten sin he boasted about in life

216
00:11:08,540 --> 00:11:12,400
will haunt him then All the adulteries and

217
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:17,020
fornications he bragged about in life now stand

218
00:11:17,020 --> 00:11:21,640
in accusation against him All the lies mount

219
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,560
up as evidence undisputed All the times he

220
00:11:25,560 --> 00:11:28,320
took God's name in vain and made the

221
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,260
name of Jesus a curse word or listed

222
00:11:31,260 --> 00:11:34,780
to his shame Every filthy deed he committed

223
00:11:34,780 --> 00:11:38,980
and every foul thought he entertained is revealed

224
00:11:38,980 --> 00:11:42,420
The books are opened and his life story

225
00:11:42,420 --> 00:11:46,080
is laid bare Evidence is in and the

226
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:50,540
case has been carefully reviewed and now it

227
00:11:50,540 --> 00:11:53,780
is time for the sentencing of the law

228
00:11:53,780 --> 00:11:59,520
to be carried out The angel searches the

229
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,420
book of life and without lifting his eyes

230
00:12:02,420 --> 00:12:05,820
he shakes his head in the negative The

231
00:12:05,820 --> 00:12:08,480
sinner is not found written in the book

232
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:12,800
of life The judge drops his gavel and

233
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:17,260
in a voice of rolling thunder cries Guilty!

234
00:12:17,980 --> 00:12:21,140
Then the sentencing of the law is carried

235
00:12:21,140 --> 00:12:24,580
out against him as he is condemned to

236
00:12:24,580 --> 00:12:28,200
an eternity of suffering His cries pierce the

237
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,860
hush of the courtroom as the angels come

238
00:12:31,860 --> 00:12:35,920
with shackles and chains and bind him hand

239
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,920
and foot and there is wailing and gnashing

240
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,540
of teeth and he is cast against his

241
00:12:42,540 --> 00:12:46,740
will into a boiling lake of fire The

242
00:12:46,740 --> 00:12:50,860
waves, the flames crash up and down as

243
00:12:50,860 --> 00:12:53,660
he drops out of sight in those rolling

244
00:12:53,660 --> 00:12:58,080
waves of flames and one is reminded of

245
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,260
the words of the prophet Isaiah But the

246
00:13:01,260 --> 00:13:04,740
wicked are like the troubled sea when it

247
00:13:04,740 --> 00:13:08,760
cannot rest whose waters cast up mire and

248
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:12,900
dirt There is no peace, saith my God,

249
00:13:13,260 --> 00:13:18,720
to the wicked For verse 15 declares his

250
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:23,200
doom And whosoever was not found written in

251
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,440
the book of life was cast into the

252
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:30,120
lake of fire But one cannot read verse

253
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:34,220
15 of Revelation without thinking about verse 10

254
00:13:34,220 --> 00:13:37,840
which states And the devil that deceived them

255
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,240
was cast into the lake of fire and

256
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:45,020
brimstone where the beast and the false prophet

257
00:13:45,020 --> 00:13:48,740
are and shall be tormented day and night

258
00:13:48,740 --> 00:13:52,640
forever and ever God prepared a place of

259
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:56,520
punishment for the devil and his angels Wouldn't

260
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,020
you think that it would be an awful

261
00:13:59,020 --> 00:14:03,760
consuming prison of hell Wouldn't you think it

262
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,660
would be so nightmarish no one in their

263
00:14:06,660 --> 00:14:09,360
right mind would ever want to go there

264
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,940
Will you be there, friend, alongside the devil

265
00:14:12,940 --> 00:14:17,400
suffering for your sins It was the devil

266
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:21,060
that deceived you lured you into sin He

267
00:14:21,060 --> 00:14:23,440
gave you the taste of the pleasure of

268
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,820
sin for a season Now your time is

269
00:14:26,820 --> 00:14:30,960
up Your destiny is sealed Your doom pronounced

270
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:35,640
The sentence carried out upon your guilty head

271
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,860
As I live, saith the Lord God I

272
00:14:39,860 --> 00:14:42,380
have no pleasure in the death of the

273
00:14:42,380 --> 00:14:45,460
wicked But that the wicked turn from his

274
00:14:45,460 --> 00:14:49,920
way and live Turn ye, turn ye from

275
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,160
your evil ways For why will you die,

276
00:14:53,620 --> 00:14:56,700
O house of Israel How is it with

277
00:14:56,700 --> 00:15:00,000
you, friend Is your name written in the

278
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,880
book of life Or will you be consigned

279
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,120
to the fires of torments Will this be

280
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,180
your case Will you stand in the shoes

281
00:15:09,180 --> 00:15:12,540
of the sinners in Zion Spoken of by

282
00:15:12,540 --> 00:15:17,540
the prophet Isaiah Who trembled upon discovery that

283
00:15:17,540 --> 00:15:20,620
they were in hell The sinners in Zion

284
00:15:20,620 --> 00:15:26,220
are afraid Fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites Who

285
00:15:26,220 --> 00:15:30,280
among us shall dwell with the devouring fire

286
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:35,560
Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings

287
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:39,540
Repent before it's too late, friend Get an

288
00:15:39,540 --> 00:15:43,120
interest in Christ Jesus If you've not trusted

289
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:47,580
in this blessed Savior Receive Him now before

290
00:15:47,580 --> 00:15:50,700
it's too late Soon He will come in

291
00:15:50,700 --> 00:15:53,980
judgment on this world When His anger shall

292
00:15:53,980 --> 00:15:57,020
burn as an oven Then you shall meet

293
00:15:57,020 --> 00:16:01,220
Him as your judge And this was manifested

294
00:16:01,220 --> 00:16:05,100
the love of God toward us Because that

295
00:16:05,100 --> 00:16:08,840
God sent His only begotten Son Into the

296
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:13,600
world that we might live through Him Jesus

297
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:17,200
came into the world doing good Healing the

298
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:21,020
sick, giving sight to the blind Raising the

299
00:16:21,020 --> 00:16:24,520
dead and bringing joy to the weary Yet

300
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:25,560
what happened?

301
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,540
Men cried, away with Him And nailed Him

302
00:16:29,540 --> 00:16:34,440
to a cross On Calvary, Jesus, the spotless

303
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:38,500
Son of God Was crucified, becoming a curse

304
00:16:38,500 --> 00:16:42,140
for us God is holy and He hates

305
00:16:42,140 --> 00:16:46,000
sin But every stroke of that Roman's hammer

306
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:50,380
Was an explanation point that God must punish

307
00:16:50,380 --> 00:16:55,820
sin God must punish sin God must punish

308
00:16:55,820 --> 00:16:59,420
sin Look at that man on the cross

309
00:16:59,630 --> 00:17:03,980
See Him there with His arms outstretched Beckoning

310
00:17:03,980 --> 00:17:07,520
you to come to Him and believe on

311
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:11,260
Him Look at that bloodstained Savior from sin

312
00:17:11,260 --> 00:17:14,859
As He hangs there He squirms beneath the

313
00:17:14,859 --> 00:17:18,500
terrible weight of my sins He is crucified

314
00:17:18,500 --> 00:17:21,740
so I can live I know I am

315
00:17:21,740 --> 00:17:24,660
a sinner And I need a substitute for

316
00:17:24,660 --> 00:17:27,820
sin And so do you, friend, so do

317
00:17:27,820 --> 00:17:32,900
you Jesus is the sin substitute He bore

318
00:17:32,900 --> 00:17:37,300
my wretched sins on that bloody cross When

319
00:17:37,300 --> 00:17:40,640
all was against Him His love flows out

320
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,300
to a world of guilty sinners There is

321
00:17:44,300 --> 00:17:47,280
hope for a sinner in the blood of

322
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,820
the Lamb That bloody cross was a spectacle,

323
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,820
a scandal Jesus nailed on a cruel tree

324
00:17:55,820 --> 00:17:59,160
Look at that man on the cross Look

325
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:03,520
at Him, He says, come now And let

326
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:08,080
us reason together Sayeth the Lord, though your

327
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,900
sins be as scarlet They shall be as

328
00:18:10,900 --> 00:18:13,980
white as snow Though they be red like

329
00:18:13,980 --> 00:18:18,680
crimson They shall be as wool The cross

330
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:22,220
is the place where wicked men Sought to

331
00:18:22,220 --> 00:18:24,880
get rid of Him But by His death

332
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,540
it becomes the place Where a saving power

333
00:18:28,540 --> 00:18:32,440
flows out to all Who come in repentance

334
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:36,600
Confessing they are sinners And own them as

335
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:40,760
their Savior and Lord Jesus said, come unto

336
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:45,140
Me All ye that labor and are heavy

337
00:18:45,140 --> 00:18:49,960
laden And I will give you rest Is

338
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,780
God dealing with your soul, friend?

339
00:18:53,540 --> 00:18:56,320
Do you see your danger of coming to

340
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,500
a judgment day To stand there with no

341
00:18:59,500 --> 00:19:00,520
hope or help?

342
00:19:00,860 --> 00:19:02,600
Do you sense your peril?

343
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,200
Do you feel your need of a Savior

344
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:06,060
from sin?

345
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,660
The gospel is for the hungry, the weary

346
00:19:09,660 --> 00:19:12,560
and the thirsty Are you hungry for God?

347
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,520
Are you weary of your sins?

348
00:19:14,860 --> 00:19:16,460
Are you thirsty for Christ?

349
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,280
Then come to Him and believe on Him

350
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:24,380
Come while there's time Seek ye the Lord

351
00:19:24,380 --> 00:19:28,640
while He may be found Call ye upon

352
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:32,240
Him while He is near Let the wicked

353
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,660
forsake His way And the unrighteous man his

354
00:19:35,660 --> 00:19:39,240
thoughts And let him return unto the Lord

355
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,680
And he will have mercy upon him And

356
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,420
to our God for He will abundantly pardon

357
00:19:46,420 --> 00:19:51,220
Come, friend, and lay your sin-burden down

358
00:19:51,220 --> 00:19:56,340
At His nail-pierced feet Jesus said, all

359
00:19:56,340 --> 00:20:00,200
that the Father giveth Me Shall come to

360
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:04,820
Me And Him that cometh to Me I

361
00:20:04,820 --> 00:20:08,680
will in no wise cast out Come to

362
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,400
Christ, friend, and surrender all you are To

363
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,800
all He is, for He is Lord He

364
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:17,120
is Lord
