*****************************
If I had one more sermon to preach before I died, I would want it to be
about my Lord Jesus Christ. The
only regret I ever have is that I do not preach more of Him.
I never think I preached Him too much.
I love to tell sinners that God "was made flesh, and
dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten
off the Father, full of grace and truth."
I love to tell you that Christ came to this earth as a Substitute
for His people. I love to
tell you that His holy life is accounted your righteousness, that His
sufferings and death constitute a complete atonement, satisfying the wrath
of God for all your sins. I
never miss the opportunity to declare substitution.
This is the heart of the Gospel; the sinner in Christ's place, and
Christ in the sinner's place; our debts to God paid by Christ; the
chastisement of our peace laid upon Him, that we might "be
justified by faith."
(1 Timothy 2:1-4) "I exhort therefore, that, first of all,
supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for
all men; For kings, and for
all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in
all godliness and honesty. For
this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge
of the truth."
When the Lord saves a person, that person is brought to a knowledge of the
truth. It is
by a knowledge of the truth
that we are saved. Notice the
stress that is put on the article THE.
It is not just any truth that will set you free, nor is it every
truth that will set you free. It
is THE TRUTH. We
are not saved by knowing some theological truths.
There are many truths we can know and not be saved.
It is THE TRUTH which saves. The Lord Jesus Christ is THE TRUTH.
The whole testimony of God about Christ is THE TRUTH.
The work of the Holy Spirit in the heart is to work in us THE
TRUTH. The
knowledge of the truth
may be small at first, but it will grow, and by it we will be fully
instructed in the way. This knowledge begins by showing to us our great
need before God. Then we
learn that there will be a judgment, that we will stand before the
judgment of God to give an account for our sin.
Then we learn that "Christ Jesus came into the world to
save sinners." Then
we learn that any person who "believes on the Lord Jesus
Christ, shall be saved."
This is "To be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of
the truth."

(1 Corinthians 15:10)
"By the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was
bestowed upon me was not in vain."
******************************
Blessed
day of solemn meetings;
Blessed day of praise and prayer;
Far from earthly cares retreating,
In Thy blessings we would share.
Be
Thou near us, precious Saviour,
In the morn and eve the same;
Give us faith which shall not waver,
Trusting only Thy great name.
In
Thy name, O Lord, assembling,
We Thy people now draw near;
Teach us to rejoice with trembling,
Hear Thy word with godly fear.
While
our days on earth are lengthened,
May we live them, Lord, in Thee,
Cheered by hope and daily strengthened,
'Til in heav'n Thy glory see!
(Tune:
"Jesus Calls Us")

(Psalm 95:6-7)
"0 come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the
Lord our maker. For He is our God; and we are the people of His pasture,
and the sheep of His hand."
