1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,240
You see at the cross we have God

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:04,040
dealing with sin.

3
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,060
He's not dealing with a man who is

4
00:00:08,060 --> 00:00:11,720
a sinner at the cross He's dealing with

5
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:13,880
one who is altogether lovely in his sight

6
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:17,300
One who is altogether pleasing to the Father

7
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,060
But yet there the Savior is and there

8
00:00:21,060 --> 00:00:23,440
God is dealing with sin And what's taking

9
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,480
place at the cross is according to the

10
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,960
prophet Isaiah this that he would but he

11
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,320
was wounded for our transgressions He was crushed

12
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,740
for our iniquities the chastisement for our peace

13
00:00:34,740 --> 00:00:36,760
was upon him and with his stripe we

14
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,240
are healed All we like sheep have gone

15
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:39,740
astray.

16
00:00:39,980 --> 00:00:42,940
We've all sinned We have turned everyone to

17
00:00:42,940 --> 00:00:43,740
his own way.

18
00:00:43,980 --> 00:00:45,420
We were born in sin.

19
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,320
We've gone our own way But the Lord

20
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,980
hath laid on him the iniquity of us

21
00:00:52,980 --> 00:00:55,880
all and There at the cross of Calvary

22
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,060
friend God dealt with the sin of mankind

23
00:00:59,260 --> 00:01:01,260
He dealt with my sin there, you know,

24
00:01:01,820 --> 00:01:06,180
I didn't always know that I Always wondered

25
00:01:06,180 --> 00:01:07,560
what it would be like to be saved.

26
00:01:07,660 --> 00:01:09,260
I always wondered what it what would take

27
00:01:09,260 --> 00:01:12,640
place if I ever got saved But the

28
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,480
night that God saved me I saw this

29
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,580
for the first time that when Christ died

30
00:01:16,580 --> 00:01:20,540
upon the cross He died for my sin

31
00:01:20,540 --> 00:01:23,120
I Was sitting there in the in the

32
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:24,460
bedroom on the old farmhouse.

33
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,100
I was laying there and I was reading

34
00:01:26,100 --> 00:01:29,300
a track Not by works of righteousness, which

35
00:01:29,300 --> 00:01:32,080
we have done But according to his mercy

36
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:33,840
he saved us and I could understand the

37
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,240
first part not by works of righteousness It's

38
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:38,480
not by living a good life.

39
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,360
It's not by doing right things But it's

40
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,940
according to God's mercy and I could understand

41
00:01:43,940 --> 00:01:47,560
that But the last part said he saved

42
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,280
us and that word saved was in past

43
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,160
tense But I wasn't saved so how could

44
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,820
he have saved me The question coming to

45
00:01:55,820 --> 00:01:57,420
my mind what could God have ever done

46
00:01:57,420 --> 00:02:01,270
to save my soul And it was plain

47
00:02:01,270 --> 00:02:02,830
as day that night for the first time

48
00:02:02,830 --> 00:02:03,470
in my life.

49
00:02:03,610 --> 00:02:07,509
That's that's what's took place at Calvary Christ

50
00:02:07,509 --> 00:02:12,010
died for my sin Christ bore my sin

51
00:02:12,010 --> 00:02:13,730
in his own body on the tree and

52
00:02:13,730 --> 00:02:15,770
that work has been finished for nearly 2

53
00:02:15,770 --> 00:02:17,630
,000 years It's all been done in the

54
00:02:17,630 --> 00:02:21,190
past My friend what could God ever do

55
00:02:21,190 --> 00:02:21,850
with your sin?

56
00:02:22,910 --> 00:02:25,010
You see God knows how to deal with

57
00:02:25,010 --> 00:02:27,830
sin and God knows how to save a

58
00:02:27,830 --> 00:02:31,670
soul Salvation by the way is of the

59
00:02:31,670 --> 00:02:34,430
Lord It's not by the will of man.

60
00:02:34,530 --> 00:02:35,250
It's not by flesh.

61
00:02:35,330 --> 00:02:36,190
It is not by blood.

62
00:02:36,290 --> 00:02:38,370
It is salvation is of the Lord and

63
00:02:39,310 --> 00:02:41,450
what took place at Calvary is what Christ

64
00:02:41,450 --> 00:02:45,450
has satisfied God's righteous claims concerning man's sin

65
00:02:45,450 --> 00:02:48,890
and The death penalty penalty that was required

66
00:02:48,890 --> 00:02:51,570
for our sin was was meted out upon

67
00:02:51,570 --> 00:02:54,170
the Lord Jesus And he not only suffered

68
00:02:54,170 --> 00:02:56,190
for our sin, but he died for our

69
00:02:56,190 --> 00:02:59,070
sin and God knows how to save a

70
00:02:59,070 --> 00:03:04,070
soul My friend Murray Taught me some time

71
00:03:04,070 --> 00:03:04,310
ago.

72
00:03:04,410 --> 00:03:06,150
He said sometimes when we preach the gospel

73
00:03:06,150 --> 00:03:08,190
we put the spotlight on the sinner, and

74
00:03:08,190 --> 00:03:11,250
that's good but sometimes we leave it there

75
00:03:11,250 --> 00:03:14,170
and Sometimes we need to put it on

76
00:03:14,170 --> 00:03:16,390
the the life ring the the self the

77
00:03:16,390 --> 00:03:18,530
device that you need to throw them to

78
00:03:18,530 --> 00:03:22,110
be saved from drowning a Drowning sinner in

79
00:03:22,110 --> 00:03:24,050
the ocean doesn't need the spotlight on him

80
00:03:24,050 --> 00:03:26,010
he needs a spotlight on the life ring

81
00:03:26,010 --> 00:03:29,070
that's been thrown right beside him and God

82
00:03:29,070 --> 00:03:31,750
knows how to save a soul and what

83
00:03:31,750 --> 00:03:33,750
God has accomplished in the Lord Jesus has

84
00:03:33,750 --> 00:03:35,930
accomplished through the death of the cross is

85
00:03:35,930 --> 00:03:38,130

87
00:03:44,250 --> 00:03:46,170
