1
00:00:01,500 --> 00:00:05,200
I'm very happy to be here today 
and to see all of you who are 

2
00:00:05,208 --> 00:00:10,600
here. 
Very pleased to be able to be 

3
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,200
your speaker this morning. 
And I hope that what we have to 

4
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:18,400
say will be suitable and 
appropriate for the Lord's Day 

5
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:22,200
worship service. 
It's been a while since I've 

6
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,900
been here. 
And of course, we have a 

7
00:00:24,900 --> 00:00:28,200
turnover in the congregational 
attendance. 

8
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:32,100
Since I've been here, and many 
of you people, I see. 

9
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,200
And I think I'm at different 
places across the Brotherhood. 

10
00:00:36,900 --> 00:00:41,300
But I'm glad you are here today 
and I'm glad to see you this 

11
00:00:41,300 --> 00:00:43,300
morning. 
I invite your attention to the 

12
00:00:43,300 --> 00:00:46,000
reading of God's word in the 
19th. 

13
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,700
Chapter of the book of Acts, 
read a short verse year to 

14
00:00:49,700 --> 00:00:52,000
introduce the general thoughts 
of the sermon. 

15
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,900
The record says, and this was 
known to all the Jews and 

16
00:00:55,900 --> 00:01:02,000
Greeks, also dwelling at Ephesus
and fear cain't fell on them all

17
00:01:02,300 --> 00:01:05,300
and the name of the Lord Jesus 
was magnified. 

18
00:01:05,900 --> 00:01:07,800
Now, that's what. 
You want to talk about for a 

19
00:01:07,808 --> 00:01:10,700
little while. 
This morning magnifying, the 

20
00:01:10,700 --> 00:01:15,400
name of Jesus, the church at 
Ephesus was one of the most 

21
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,600
outstanding and historical 
congregations in the New 

22
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:19,900
Testament. 
History. 

23
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,500
We have of course to begin with 
you stablishment of the church, 

24
00:01:24,500 --> 00:01:27,100
which we'll talk about more in 
detail. 

25
00:01:27,100 --> 00:01:30,200
In a moment. 
Later on we have the Apostle 

26
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:35,500
Paul's farewell address to the 
Elders of this outstanding 

27
00:01:35,500 --> 00:01:40,100
congregation And then of course 
we have the epistle that he 

28
00:01:40,100 --> 00:01:44,600
wrote to the congregation later 
on from a prison cell. 

29
00:01:45,100 --> 00:01:48,600
And then finally we have a 
dictated letter from the Lord 

30
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,700
Jesus Christ right out of the 
glory courts of heaven. 

31
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,200
So the church at Ephesus was a 
very outstanding congregation 

32
00:01:56,700 --> 00:01:59,500
want to talk a little while 
about that this morning, the 

33
00:01:59,500 --> 00:02:03,900
Apostle Paul was passing through
and he found 12 people, 12 

34
00:02:03,900 --> 00:02:09,600
million adults meeting, In 
Ephesus now. 

35
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,200
But let me just say a word about
the city of Ephesus. 

36
00:02:12,700 --> 00:02:15,900
It was the one of the most 
outstanding cities of the day. 

37
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,700
It was a great post, great 
outstanding place and one of the

38
00:02:19,700 --> 00:02:22,800
things that made it so 
outstanding was the fact that it

39
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:28,300
was the religious center of the 
world and culture, the Temple of

40
00:02:28,300 --> 00:02:30,500
the Great Goddess. 
Diana was there. 

41
00:02:30,900 --> 00:02:33,400
And I'm not going to bore you 
with the details of the 

42
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,400
dimensions of that place because
it would take a little while. 

43
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,900
While you might not even want to
believe some of it if I told 

44
00:02:39,900 --> 00:02:44,000
you, but it was one of the 
greatest temples ever built, it 

45
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,000
was one of the wonders of the 
world. 

46
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,100
At that time, we were told and 
people went there from all over 

47
00:02:50,100 --> 00:02:56,200
the world because within this 
Great temple was the idol of 

48
00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:00,200
this beautiful princess. 
This Diana who supposed to 

49
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,800
Falling Out of Heaven, I 
believe, is way it goes. 

50
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,000
And people went there from all 
over the world to worship her 

51
00:03:06,700 --> 00:03:11,400
Now just say this in briefly 
details this morning that their 

52
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:17,800
worship was, I Pagan worship, it
was a lewd, immoral worship, 

53
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:22,400
very, very essential but that's 
the way the pagans worshipped 

54
00:03:22,900 --> 00:03:26,300
and they had levels of different
according to dr. 

55
00:03:26,300 --> 00:03:31,500
McKnight of worships and you 
graduated on up to the highest 

56
00:03:31,500 --> 00:03:36,500
which was the mystery of that 
Temple. and it became something 

57
00:03:36,700 --> 00:03:44,000
very very sought far and very, 
very sought after now the 

58
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:49,400
Apostle Paul when he wrote his 
epistle he counteracted that and

59
00:03:49,500 --> 00:03:54,200
he showed that we have some 
Mysteries to and in that pea 

60
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,300
pistol the epistle to the 
Ephesians, you'd be surprised 

61
00:03:57,300 --> 00:04:01,400
how many times he mentions the 
word mystery in there and he 

62
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,100
shows that the greatest mystery 
of all was when Jesus as Christ 

63
00:04:05,100 --> 00:04:08,700
was crucified for the sins of 
the world and brought all people

64
00:04:08,700 --> 00:04:12,500
together in one body the church.
But now I'm beginning to get off

65
00:04:12,500 --> 00:04:17,200
on some bypass so early. 
Let's go back to the story now 

66
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:21,399
then. 
We find that a the Apostle Paul 

67
00:04:21,399 --> 00:04:24,500
found these 12 men there and I 
suppose they had families. 

68
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:29,100
But in this terrible, terrible 
situation, they were trying to 

69
00:04:29,100 --> 00:04:32,900
maintain a little Church of 
Christ over there and I'm sure 

70
00:04:32,900 --> 00:04:39,500
they must have had all kinds of 
problems. later on, he came back

71
00:04:39,500 --> 00:04:46,400
by and Talk to these people and 
settle down with him for a 

72
00:04:46,407 --> 00:04:49,800
little while and great things 
were accomplished. 

73
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:55,600
Now during the period of his 
experience there, some things 

74
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,100
happened and I want to mention 
these things to you. 

75
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,200
I'm not going to cite the 
passages but they're all found 

76
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,900
their 19 chapter and in the 
surrounding versus you can read 

77
00:05:06,900 --> 00:05:11,500
them there, he walked to, but we
find something that took place 

78
00:05:11,500 --> 00:05:14,500
over there and I want to Make 
sure this because it's very 

79
00:05:14,500 --> 00:05:17,900
outstanding in the history of 
this congregation. 

80
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,900
When he preached to these 
people, they heard the Gospel of

81
00:05:21,900 --> 00:05:24,600
Jesus Christ. 
And these people who had been 

82
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,500
worshipping in that old Temple 
Down. 

83
00:05:26,500 --> 00:05:29,800
Yonder Herod. 
What he preached? 

84
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,000
They believed. 
Yes, because we know that you've

85
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:38,500
got to believe the Bible tells 
us that we must believe, unless 

86
00:05:38,500 --> 00:05:42,200
we can are asking, we can't be 
saved but they're not only 

87
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,100
believe. 
They turned our they repented. 

88
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:51,900
It's called Turning here and 
they turn so completely till 

89
00:05:51,900 --> 00:05:56,700
they burn their books and their 
guides in textbooks and so on 

90
00:05:56,700 --> 00:06:00,700
rituals that they have had in 
their worships they burn these 

91
00:06:00,700 --> 00:06:03,300
things. 
Now boy, that's what I call a 

92
00:06:03,300 --> 00:06:07,200
good clean. 
Sweep of repentance just burned 

93
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:11,300
up their works that they had 
eight thousand dollars worth the

94
00:06:11,300 --> 00:06:14,000
piled it up in the streets and 
burden and that's something 

95
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,900
outstanding to when a man of 
Burn up that much profit to him.

96
00:06:18,300 --> 00:06:21,400
That goes to show you something 
about him, that he's willing to 

97
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,600
sacrifice his finances. 
That is something. 

98
00:06:24,900 --> 00:06:28,100
Well, they turned not only did 
that did that. 

99
00:06:28,100 --> 00:06:31,100
But as you read on over there, 
the Bible will tell you that 

100
00:06:31,100 --> 00:06:35,500
they can fast and show their 
needs confessed. 

101
00:06:36,100 --> 00:06:38,500
But then, of course, when they 
heard the truth, that were 

102
00:06:38,500 --> 00:06:42,500
baptized in the name of the Lord
Jesus Christ, that's what the 

103
00:06:42,500 --> 00:06:45,600
record tells us. 
Whosoever shall confess. 

104
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:50,100
That Jesus is the son of God. 
God dwelleth in him and he in 

105
00:06:50,100 --> 00:06:54,900
God well that meant that they 
confess that Jesus Christ and 

106
00:06:54,900 --> 00:06:57,200
didn't. 
They were baptized, I want to 

107
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:01,600
tell you something right here. 
These people believed repented 

108
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,300
confessed and were baptized. 
You notice what I did? 

109
00:07:04,300 --> 00:07:07,100
When I would be to gospel, 
that's what you did. 

110
00:07:07,100 --> 00:07:09,500
When you obeyed the gospel, 
that's what makes a Church of 

111
00:07:09,500 --> 00:07:12,300
Christ. 
Now, I want to fast forward for 

112
00:07:12,300 --> 00:07:16,100
a moment and go over here. 
To the epistle and I'm getting 

113
00:07:16,100 --> 00:07:19,300
off my subject again. 
But I'm going to fast-forward to

114
00:07:19,308 --> 00:07:22,300
go over here to the book of 
Ephesians where he wrote this 

115
00:07:22,300 --> 00:07:25,700
church a letter. 
And I want to just drift right 

116
00:07:25,700 --> 00:07:29,900
down there to the second chapter
and I want to show you what he 

117
00:07:29,900 --> 00:07:35,500
said by grace are ye saved 
through faith and that not of 

118
00:07:35,500 --> 00:07:38,600
yourselves. 
It is the gift of God, not of 

119
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:44,500
Works, lest any man should 
boast, aha saved by grace. 

120
00:07:45,300 --> 00:07:48,400
You know, that's what the 
calvinist tell us and some 

121
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,100
Church of Christ preachers 
today. 

122
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,300
What we know we are saved by 
grace, but they say you You are 

123
00:07:54,308 --> 00:07:57,800
saved by grace, only. 
You don't do any works. 

124
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:04,000
You don't have to do anything. 
God Saves You by his grace and 

125
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,000
the quote this passage. 
What if there's ever a passage 

126
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,900
in the world that they don't 
need to quote? 

127
00:08:08,900 --> 00:08:12,700
It's that one. 
They think, though they found a 

128
00:08:12,707 --> 00:08:15,800
marriage Nest right here. 
They think they've really done 

129
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,100
something. 
When they found this verse by 

130
00:08:18,100 --> 00:08:20,500
grace, are you saved through 
faith? 

131
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:23,300
And that not of yourselves, it 
is not of works. 

132
00:08:24,100 --> 00:08:27,500
Well, first, I just want to say 
right here that anytime you 

133
00:08:27,500 --> 00:08:30,600
find, Works condemned in the New
Testament scriptures. 

134
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,900
That's always the works of Moses
law. 

135
00:08:33,700 --> 00:08:38,700
But anytime you find Works 
Advanced and commanded, it's the

136
00:08:38,700 --> 00:08:43,299
works of faith. 
The commands of Jesus Christ and

137
00:08:43,299 --> 00:08:47,800
it's the grace of God on one 
side and it's the faith of man 

138
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,900
on the other side that makes 
this thing come together and I 

139
00:08:51,900 --> 00:08:55,100
obey the gospel. 
Now here's what I'm talking to 

140
00:08:55,100 --> 00:08:58,700
you about the next time, you 
hear a person tell you, that you

141
00:08:58,700 --> 00:09:03,200
are saved by grace and they, 
quote the scripture to you say, 

142
00:09:03,300 --> 00:09:06,100
well, let's go see how they were
saved by grace. 

143
00:09:06,700 --> 00:09:10,900
They were saved by grace by 
Believing by Eating of their 

144
00:09:10,900 --> 00:09:14,000
sins and turning the Bible, 
says, and burning their books 

145
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,400
and confessing and showing their
deeds. 

146
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,900
And by being baptized. 
Now, these people who did that 

147
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,600
were saved by grace, and I'll 
Advance it further, then I'm 

148
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,600
going to tell you. 
Unless you've done that you are 

149
00:09:27,608 --> 00:09:31,300
not saved by grace, because 
that's the grace of God right 

150
00:09:31,300 --> 00:09:33,100
there. 
And it's not a works either. 

151
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,900
That is not the works of the 
Moses law. 

152
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,200
It's not the works of God 
condemning. 

153
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,400
It's the commandments of Jesus 
Christ, because that's what Paul

154
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,500
preached down there. 
Well, we go on with our sermon. 

155
00:09:45,500 --> 00:09:50,900
Now, after this, we find that 
some great things happened. 

156
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,700
Paul found a synagogue of the 
Jews there in Ephesus and he 

157
00:09:56,700 --> 00:10:01,400
stayed there for three months, 
and preach the gospel. 

158
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,500
To these people tried to turn 
these Jews. 

159
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:11,200
But, you know, his work was 
interrupted, people became a 

160
00:10:11,208 --> 00:10:15,000
vicious against his teachings, 
the work of the Lord, never run 

161
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,700
smoothly, and if you think 
you're going to have a smooth 

162
00:10:18,700 --> 00:10:21,500
job, when you start working for 
the Lord, some young people. 

163
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,200
Preachers wants to become 
preachers because they think 

164
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:28,700
it's a easy job. 
Well, you can make a easy job 

165
00:10:28,700 --> 00:10:30,200
out of it. 
We've got a lot of preachers. 

166
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:34,200
You've got easy job because of 
never do anything, but if you 

167
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,400
work for the Lord and you put 
everything, you've got into it 

168
00:10:37,500 --> 00:10:40,600
and you're sincere about it, the
devil's not gonna leave you 

169
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,800
alone, you can be assured that. 
Now the Apostle Paul's work was 

170
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,700
interrupted in that synagogue 
became so bad. 

171
00:10:47,700 --> 00:10:51,200
He had to leave. 
He had he had to get out of 

172
00:10:51,208 --> 00:10:53,300
that. 
He went right down town and 

173
00:10:53,300 --> 00:11:00,900
found a hall or a school or a 
lecture hall the school of 

174
00:11:00,900 --> 00:11:03,500
tyrannus and he entered into 
that. 

175
00:11:04,100 --> 00:11:09,700
And for two years, he preached I
don't know how regular is 

176
00:11:09,700 --> 00:11:13,200
preaching was, but over the 
space of two years, he preached 

177
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:17,100
down there and his preaching was
so great, it was so powerful, it

178
00:11:17,100 --> 00:11:20,500
was so moving, it was so 
renowned till all of these, you 

179
00:11:20,500 --> 00:11:23,100
heard about it. 
The Bible says, it was so 

180
00:11:23,100 --> 00:11:26,700
outstanding Miracles, were done 
in the name of Jesus. 

181
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,900
They took napkins in that took 
handkerchiefs and they took 

182
00:11:29,900 --> 00:11:33,600
aprons off of his body and took 
it down and laid it on the sick 

183
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,100
and they even recovered from it 
and thanks for going on. 

184
00:11:37,100 --> 00:11:39,800
So great. 
Wait well those Miracles stirred

185
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,100
people up. 
Now, if you want stir people up,

186
00:11:42,100 --> 00:11:44,800
you start performing Miracles. 
Well, they perform some 

187
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,700
Miracles. 
Well they had some fellows down 

188
00:11:46,700 --> 00:11:49,900
there who were looking on and 
they had an old priest down 

189
00:11:49,900 --> 00:11:54,100
there, who was the chief of the 
priest and his name was skiba. 

190
00:11:54,700 --> 00:11:57,900
Well, he had seven sons and they
were young priest. 

191
00:11:57,900 --> 00:12:01,700
I reckon, but they had seen Paul
do this. 

192
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,100
And so, they thought they would 
try their hand, they wanted to 

193
00:12:05,100 --> 00:12:09,400
become some miracle workers. 
They were just about as much 

194
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,500
miracle workers as we have 
today. 

195
00:12:11,700 --> 00:12:15,200
They were some fakes. 
That's what they were, but they 

196
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,000
said that he's going to try 
their hand. 

197
00:12:17,100 --> 00:12:21,000
And they found a man there who 
had an evil spirit or demon. 

198
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:25,200
So they walked up and decided, 
they'd ply their trade on him, 

199
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,800
and they said, we command you in
the name of Jesus Christ. 

200
00:12:28,900 --> 00:12:32,600
And that Paul preaches to come 
out of him. 

201
00:12:34,100 --> 00:12:37,200
Well, now they overstep their 
limits right there. 

202
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,900
Yes, sir. 
And I want to tell you something

203
00:12:39,900 --> 00:12:43,300
happens, this is almost Smiler 
below and if it weren't so 

204
00:12:43,300 --> 00:12:46,300
serious, I just smiled real big 
about it, but I'll tell you what

205
00:12:46,300 --> 00:12:50,900
happened, that evil spirit and 
that man said, Paul, I know, and

206
00:12:50,900 --> 00:12:53,400
Jesus, I know. 
But who are you? 

207
00:12:55,300 --> 00:13:01,300
And leaped on them. 
Tom up, rip their clothes off of

208
00:13:01,300 --> 00:13:04,900
them, and scratch them, and 
Claude them, and handle them, so

209
00:13:04,900 --> 00:13:10,800
badly till they went out of that
house like scared rabbits, what 

210
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,200
down that street naked as 
jaybirds just as fast as they 

211
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:15,900
could go. 
And I'll tell you everybody on 

212
00:13:15,900 --> 00:13:18,100
the street corners and pointing 
at him and laughing. 

213
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:24,100
Now I don't have much But I'll 
tell you is one of my aunt used 

214
00:13:24,100 --> 00:13:27,100
to say, I'd give a pretty to 
turn that. 

215
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:32,100
Turn them loose on Tulsa, 
Oklahoma and a few television 

216
00:13:32,100 --> 00:13:38,200
stations that I hear from place 
to place and see what happens. 

217
00:13:39,300 --> 00:13:44,000
Well, a Bible said, when this 
happened, the word of the Lord 

218
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:48,500
was magnified. 
Because everybody knew that they

219
00:13:48,500 --> 00:13:52,100
were fakes and everybody knew 
that what Paul was doing was the

220
00:13:52,108 --> 00:13:55,900
work of the Lord and the Bible 
said, the name of Jesus was 

221
00:13:55,900 --> 00:14:00,100
magnified and the word of the 
Lord grew mightily. 

222
00:14:01,100 --> 00:14:03,200
Well, that's my sermon for this 
morning. 

223
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,700
Magnifying the name of Jesus. 
Now, you know that we can 

224
00:14:07,700 --> 00:14:10,300
magnify the name of Jesus in our
lives. 

225
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,000
We must magnify the name of 
Jesus. 

226
00:14:13,300 --> 00:14:17,400
You know, the name of Jesus is 
the name of all names. 

227
00:14:18,100 --> 00:14:21,100
It blossoms on the pages of 
History, like 10 flowers of 

228
00:14:21,100 --> 00:14:25,100
10,000 spring times. 
And it sounds and reach sounds 

229
00:14:25,100 --> 00:14:27,800
down Through the Ages. 
Like the music of all requires 

230
00:14:27,900 --> 00:14:32,000
both visible and invisible. 
The name of Jesus is the 

231
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:36,600
sweetest name on several songs, 
sweetest name on Mortal tones. 

232
00:14:36,900 --> 00:14:39,600
The song says. 
But you know, it not was not 

233
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,200
always. 
So, The name of Jesus was our 

234
00:14:43,500 --> 00:14:47,800
was a despised and rejected 
name, in fact of the business. 

235
00:14:48,500 --> 00:14:52,700
Isaiah the prophet said he would
be despised and rejected of men 

236
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,900
and that was fulfilled in the 
life of Jesus Christ. 

237
00:14:55,900 --> 00:14:59,500
Do you know why that was, you 
know I'd preach the long time 

238
00:14:59,500 --> 00:15:01,600
before I really got to the root 
of this thing. 

239
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,800
It really do. 
White was those Jews had been 

240
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,800
promised a messiah and they were
looking for a messiah to come 

241
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:13,500
but they warp their minds over. 
What Messiah was going to be and

242
00:15:13,500 --> 00:15:16,700
what he was supposed to look. 
Like they got it in their mind 

243
00:15:16,700 --> 00:15:19,900
and he was supposed to be a 
political fellow or a military 

244
00:15:19,900 --> 00:15:23,800
man or a man of royalty who 
would be born in a king's 

245
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:27,800
Palace, he would be a prince, 
he'd be walking around, he had 

246
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,200
maybe ride in a chariot, maybe 
you'd have white horses drawing 

247
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,600
him maybe you have Coachman to 
attendee that's what the kind of

248
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,600
had an idea of But Here Comes 
this fella. 

249
00:15:39,500 --> 00:15:45,100
Born in the manger and laid in a
feed trough and wrapped up in 

250
00:15:45,300 --> 00:15:50,900
burlap. 
Grew up in, obscurity didn't 

251
00:15:50,900 --> 00:15:54,200
even have a home. 
He said, foxes have holes and 

252
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,800
fowls of the air have nests, but
the son of man, hath, not where 

253
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:01,800
to lay his head slip out in the 
mountains, hair was wet with the

254
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:06,400
Dew of Heaven, selected him, 12 
losers, and they walked all 

255
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,300
around over the country together
that man. 

256
00:16:09,500 --> 00:16:14,400
That man, zombicide, no way. 
That's not our style. 

257
00:16:15,300 --> 00:16:18,300
He was a disgrace and they were 
ashamed of him. 

258
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,300
They didn't want anybody going 
around. 

259
00:16:20,300 --> 00:16:23,200
Calling him their Messiah. 
They're still looking for a 

260
00:16:23,208 --> 00:16:26,200
messiah to come. 
We're looking for the real 

261
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,300
Messiah. 
Get rid of that, man. 

262
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,700
They did everything they could. 
I remember stories came out of 

263
00:16:32,700 --> 00:16:37,200
World War Two. 
One little Jewish boy, was, was 

264
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,400
associating with Protestants. 
And all the Protestants were on 

265
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:45,300
their job, and they were really 
telling him about Jesus and 

266
00:16:45,300 --> 00:16:49,400
teaching to him about Jesus, and
he got so impressed with it 

267
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,500
until he his faith began to 
shake a little bit, but he got 

268
00:16:53,500 --> 00:16:57,400
very sick and the priest came to
him, and he was asking the 

269
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,400
priest. 
He said, priest, what's the 

270
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:03,800
difference in Jesus and Messiah?
Well, he said, now, this Jesus 

271
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:08,700
fella, he just an impostor who 
came, and he's not the Messiah, 

272
00:17:08,700 --> 00:17:12,500
but besides Is really coming. 
Sometimes the little young 

273
00:17:12,500 --> 00:17:16,700
fellow looked up at him and 
said, well, priest, when Messiah

274
00:17:16,700 --> 00:17:18,800
comes, what's he going to have 
on Jesus? 

275
00:17:20,599 --> 00:17:23,900
That's a good question. 
When Messiah gets here, what's 

276
00:17:23,900 --> 00:17:27,300
he going to have on this fella? 
He's done everything. 

277
00:17:27,300 --> 00:17:30,200
Moses law said he was going to 
do, he's done everything. 

278
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,100
The prophet said he was going to
do now. 

279
00:17:32,100 --> 00:17:34,100
What's a are going to do when he
gets here? 

280
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,500
If this is not the Messiah 
That's right. 

281
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:42,600
Well, they finally killed him. 
They nailed him to a cross his 

282
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,800
name. 
Jesus said one time you believe 

283
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,500
in God believe. 
Also in me but they won't do 

284
00:17:47,500 --> 00:17:51,800
that. 
But they got him and they nailed

285
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,600
him to a cross, to get him out 
of the way. 

286
00:17:55,100 --> 00:17:59,400
They'll a demon Joseph do too. 
Out there somewhere close by. 

287
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:00,900
There was a beautiful little 
garden. 

288
00:18:00,900 --> 00:18:02,900
I know it must have been a 
pretty fun because the rich 

289
00:18:02,900 --> 00:18:05,500
man's Garden. 
It must have had the fairest 

290
00:18:05,500 --> 00:18:08,000
flowers and the previous shrubs 
and everything. 

291
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,500
So they pull the nails out of 
those cold, Icy hands and blue 

292
00:18:11,500 --> 00:18:13,800
vein feet and they laid him 
away. 

293
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,800
This was through our benefactor 
of his with name. 

294
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:21,400
Of Joseph of Arimathea, a rich 
prosperous City. 

295
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:26,900
Joseph evidently was a big shot.
He was rich man and he evidently

296
00:18:26,900 --> 00:18:31,700
had some some power with pilot. 
The Bible says he went in and 

297
00:18:31,700 --> 00:18:35,400
crave, the body of Jesus big, 
the body of Jesus. 

298
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:39,800
It, he had to put on some kind 
of little bit of a pressure, but

299
00:18:39,900 --> 00:18:48,000
he was yielded, He was a secret 
disciple, you know, I reckon 

300
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:49,600
he's praised the Heritage 
business. 

301
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:53,500
If he just spoke right out and 
was open with it, I've known a 

302
00:18:53,508 --> 00:18:55,400
lot of church members that way 
today. 

303
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,700
They're good, they're good 
church members but they are a 

304
00:18:58,700 --> 00:19:00,100
little bit shy about what they 
believe. 

305
00:19:00,100 --> 00:19:03,000
They don't want to talk to their
boss about it. 

306
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,600
They don't want to talk to their
Associates about it. 

307
00:19:05,700 --> 00:19:10,700
Joseph was kind of that way, but
though he was a coward in life, 

308
00:19:10,700 --> 00:19:13,700
he was emboldened by the death 
of Jesus. 

309
00:19:13,700 --> 00:19:18,200
And so after Jesus died, he felt
badly about that and he came in,

310
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,700
and he sought for the body of 
Jesus at guided. 

311
00:19:20,700 --> 00:19:24,900
And, and they hurriedly wrapped 
him up and took him out there 

312
00:19:24,900 --> 00:19:28,600
and put him in his own. 
Zone tomb, that he had prepared 

313
00:19:28,700 --> 00:19:32,200
for his own death. 
I'll have to give that to him. 

314
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,200
He, you, he gave him a good 
bearing place. 

315
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,300
That's, that's pretty sorry. 
But that's the best he could do.

316
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:43,500
Now, he gave him his burying 
place and they put a stone over 

317
00:19:43,500 --> 00:19:46,900
the door. 
So he wouldn't come out but the 

318
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,200
enemies told pilot. 
Now listen, those fellas. 

319
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,500
Have got some kind of a rumor 
floating around here that he's 

320
00:19:53,500 --> 00:19:56,700
going to come out of the Grave. 
You put some Guards over that 

321
00:19:56,700 --> 00:20:00,500
door and you hold him there. 
So they won't go in and steal 

322
00:20:00,500 --> 00:20:02,700
that body. 
Take it out of there and claim 

323
00:20:02,700 --> 00:20:07,300
he's resurrected. 
Well, God knows how to handle 

324
00:20:07,300 --> 00:20:10,400
things, and I don't know when 
man Leverett learned that he 

325
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,000
can't stop the on moving power 
of God Almighty. 

326
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:18,000
Those guards went down there and
course, God chloroform that 

327
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,700
whole bunch, you know, they all 
went sleep. 

328
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,800
And they went to sleep, and when
they went sleep, of course, 

329
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:29,300
Jesus came out to, he didn't 
have to have some type of stone 

330
00:20:29,300 --> 00:20:32,700
rolled way, they roll the stone 
away so they can look in not so 

331
00:20:32,700 --> 00:20:35,400
he could get out. 
And when they looked being he 

332
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:39,600
was already gone. 
And he showed himself to be 

333
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:43,000
alive of many infallible. 
Proofs, he came and he went and 

334
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:49,400
he came and he went but after a 
while, one day after 30 days, he

335
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,700
went with the walk with his 
disciples out, he's from the 

336
00:20:52,700 --> 00:20:55,900
city of Jerusalem up a little 
hillock, after that Mount of 

337
00:20:55,900 --> 00:20:59,700
Olives, he called it and he was 
walking up, that hill with them,

338
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:04,200
teaching them, telling them 
about himself and telling about 

339
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:08,800
what to do telling me he's going
to leave and all of a sudden 

340
00:21:08,900 --> 00:21:12,900
they watched at his feet began 
to move off the ground, We got 

341
00:21:12,900 --> 00:21:17,400
to move up up up up and they're 
looking up straight up at him 

342
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:18,900
somehow or other. 
I think they get the feeling 

343
00:21:18,900 --> 00:21:24,200
that this is goodbye for real. 
They look up and godsend that 

344
00:21:24,300 --> 00:21:28,000
cloud down out of heaven and 
wrapped him in its folds and 

345
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,600
like, old Elijah bold, he went 
away. 

346
00:21:35,100 --> 00:21:38,700
Him or got to heaven. 
Did he look back down? 

347
00:21:38,700 --> 00:21:42,000
So those disciples and I know we
had a tender feeling for them. 

348
00:21:42,700 --> 00:21:46,500
He loved them. 
They were Meehan, they were 

349
00:21:46,500 --> 00:21:50,300
Earthly, they were humans. 
He dispatched an angel down 

350
00:21:50,300 --> 00:21:53,800
there quicker than lightning. 
And that angel stood by their 

351
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,500
side and said, you men of 
Galilee why stand ye gazing 

352
00:21:57,500 --> 00:22:01,300
upward into heaven, for this 
same Jesus, whom you've seen go 

353
00:22:01,300 --> 00:22:04,300
away into heaven, shall so come 
in like manner, as you've seen 

354
00:22:04,300 --> 00:22:07,300
him, go away. 
And they were told to go to 

355
00:22:07,300 --> 00:22:10,300
Jerusalem, stand up that way, 
but that's washed Jesus, as he 

356
00:22:10,300 --> 00:22:14,400
went away, as he went away and 
they got up you under close to 

357
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:18,200
heaven and I don't know much 
about heaven, but I'll tell you 

358
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:22,500
what, when he got up, he under 
real close some, where's he got?

359
00:22:22,500 --> 00:22:27,100
Close to the Gates of Heaven and
Psalms 24 was fulfilled. 

360
00:22:28,100 --> 00:22:29,700
There was an ain't that was a 
course. 

361
00:22:29,700 --> 00:22:34,000
It started singing Somewhere. 
Lift up your heads O, ye gates 

362
00:22:34,300 --> 00:22:36,500
and be ye lift up, ye 
Everlasting doors. 

363
00:22:36,500 --> 00:22:38,200
And the king of glory shall come
in. 

364
00:22:38,900 --> 00:22:42,500
And somebody asked, who is this?
King of going, isn't the Lord 

365
00:22:42,500 --> 00:22:44,100
Mighty in Battle? 
Is He? 

366
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,500
And ladies and gentlemen, the 
Bible tells us that the Angels 

367
00:22:48,500 --> 00:22:52,100
lifted up, the Gates of Heaven 
that day and Jesus Christ walked

368
00:22:52,100 --> 00:22:59,600
in His work finished. 
My Redemption finished. 

369
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:06,900
He had done his job. 
He had come home, 33 years, he'd

370
00:23:06,900 --> 00:23:10,300
been out of that place. 
Now he's come home. 

371
00:23:12,500 --> 00:23:15,900
Daniel's prophecy was fulfilled 
in Daniel 7 and 14. 

372
00:23:15,900 --> 00:23:19,800
It said and I saw in the night 
vision one like unto the son of 

373
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:24,100
man come to the Ancient of Days 
and a kingdom was given unto him

374
00:23:24,300 --> 00:23:28,600
in glory and power and soul. 
Well listen back to my subject 

375
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:32,900
now, he went down that street 
Main Street of Glory to God. 

376
00:23:32,900 --> 00:23:35,500
Sits on the throne Down, Yonder 
on the other end and you know 

377
00:23:35,500 --> 00:23:39,500
what? 
God's child it out and said let 

378
00:23:39,500 --> 00:23:42,100
everybody in heaven, Bow Down 
and Worship Him. 

379
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,200
Never Angel. 
Ever seraphim. 

380
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,900
Ever cherubim. 
Everything including fell down 

381
00:23:47,900 --> 00:23:53,400
and worshipped Jesus said day. 
God reached down and took a 

382
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:57,300
crown and laid it on Jesus's 
head in the Bible said. 

383
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:02,700
He gave him a name which is 
above every name that at the 

384
00:24:02,700 --> 00:24:06,300
name of Jesus every knee should 
bow in Heaven and Earth and 

385
00:24:06,300 --> 00:24:11,200
things under the Earth. 
So now the name of Jesus is 

386
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:15,000
magnified. 
Let's talk a little bit about 

387
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:20,000
that. 
Why is the name of Jesus 

388
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,900
magnified because God the Father
magnified. 

389
00:24:22,900 --> 00:24:28,100
It now only in this name is 
salvation found because God has 

390
00:24:28,100 --> 00:24:31,600
planned it. 
So Acts 4:12 says neither is 

391
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,600
there salvation in any other for
there is none. 

392
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,000
Other name. 
Given under Heaven among men 

393
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:43,300
whereby we must be saved. 
Moses Abraham Joshua, Elijah 

394
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:47,800
stand out in prominence but just
name stands out in preeminence 

395
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,700
John 14:6. 
Jesus says, I am the way, what 

396
00:24:51,700 --> 00:24:57,100
does he mean by that? 
He physically know his Direction

397
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:03,800
his instruction is the way. 
And the way you get to heaven, 

398
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,200
is through Jesus. 
And that means by what he tells 

399
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:11,800
you and what he leaves for you, 
he is the way. 

400
00:25:12,700 --> 00:25:19,100
Well, next is the only name. 
That will validate our prayers. 

401
00:25:20,700 --> 00:25:24,900
Today, that name is so wonderful
till it validates our prayer. 

402
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:31,200
The Bible tells us in John, 15:7
16, that whosoever that 

403
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,600
whatsoever ye shall ask in my 
name. 

404
00:25:33,900 --> 00:25:39,600
He may give it to you. 
It's the only name heaven will 

405
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,900
acknowledge. 
And when we say our prayers, you

406
00:25:43,900 --> 00:25:46,800
notice we always conclude in 
Jesus name. 

407
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,800
And as the Apostle Paul says, 
over there in Ephesians, for 

408
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:54,900
Jesus sake down, south the 
old-timers used to the about 

409
00:25:54,900 --> 00:25:58,100
stopped it. 
Now some wise people have 

410
00:25:58,100 --> 00:26:01,600
stopped them from it, but I 
think, I still believe it you 

411
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,700
say 4G in Jesus name and for his
sake. 

412
00:26:05,500 --> 00:26:07,500
I'll tell you whatever God does 
for you. 

413
00:26:07,500 --> 00:26:13,600
Today is for Jesus sake, because
God loves his son and God honors

414
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,000
his cell phone. 
It's the only name that will 

415
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:20,100
validate my Deeds. 
I don't care if I'm 

416
00:26:20,100 --> 00:26:24,100
philanthropist, is they call it 
and I give a million dollars to 

417
00:26:24,100 --> 00:26:26,400
the college Down. 
Yonder, get my picture put all 

418
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:27,900
over the front page of the 
paper. 

419
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:32,200
It doesn't amount to a hill of 
beans spiritually speaking. 

420
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:38,000
Unless I do it in Jesus name. 
And that means by his authority.

421
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:42,600
It's the only named will 
validate my work in this world. 

422
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,100
That's the reason why I tell 
people you've got to be in 

423
00:26:46,100 --> 00:26:51,200
Christ for your Deeds to 
accomplish anything because 

424
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:59,700
nothing else will also How many 
I magnify His Name by rendering 

425
00:26:59,700 --> 00:27:03,600
obedience, and I spoke to you 
about that to begin with? 

426
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:08,300
I reiterate it, I must obey. 
Jesus said why call you me? 

427
00:27:08,300 --> 00:27:12,700
Lord Lord and do not the things 
which I say, you know, the word,

428
00:27:12,700 --> 00:27:17,000
Lord, beans master and it's 
inconceivable that you have a 

429
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,200
master. 
You being the servant and you 

430
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,400
won't do what the master told 
you. 

431
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,300
Why are you calling me master 
master, but you won't do what I 

432
00:27:25,300 --> 00:27:28,900
tell you to do Jesus. 
Says so then I must do what he 

433
00:27:28,900 --> 00:27:32,000
says. 
And pick people who devise their

434
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,900
own Plan of Salvation, people 
who have there, more Beach types

435
00:27:35,900 --> 00:27:41,000
of Salvation and their other 
various ways of being saved. 

436
00:27:42,100 --> 00:27:45,300
They can expect to be magnified 
are magnified, the name of 

437
00:27:45,300 --> 00:27:48,500
Jesus, through that, not 
expecting to benefit from it. 

438
00:27:48,900 --> 00:27:53,600
I must obey which, of course, as
I said, is salvation by grace, 

439
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,900
Believing on him repenting of 
our sins, confessing my faith in

440
00:27:57,900 --> 00:28:02,600
him and by being baptized and 
becoming a member of his church.

441
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:10,600
Next to love the Lord Jesus and 
his salvation, magnifies the 

442
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:15,300
name of Jesus, Psalms 40. 
And 16 says, let all those, who 

443
00:28:15,300 --> 00:28:20,900
seek that all of those that seek
thee rejoice and be glad in 

444
00:28:20,900 --> 00:28:25,600
thee, let such as love thy 
salvation, say continually the 

445
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:31,900
Lord be magnified. 
Next. 

446
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:41,300
I o magnify the Lord Jesus by 
putting him into my life and by 

447
00:28:41,300 --> 00:28:46,800
manifesting him in my life and 
by showing him in my life. 

448
00:28:48,300 --> 00:28:53,400
It's inconceivable to be a one 
of his people and not Magnify 

449
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:58,000
Him, but we have some people 
today who claim to be followers 

450
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,900
of Jesus, but they magnify 
everybody else. 

451
00:29:00,900 --> 00:29:06,200
Besides Jesus. the magnifier big
ball player, maybe that's all he

452
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:10,700
talked about the baptizer that 
magnify a big politician, maybe 

453
00:29:10,700 --> 00:29:15,200
our big Statesman even Or maybe 
some religious preacher. 

454
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:22,000
But if I want to magnify Jesus, 
I've got to show him in my life 

455
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:28,300
and showed the people that I'm 
here is because I have involved 

456
00:29:28,300 --> 00:29:33,000
his teachings and his principles
and his philosophy into my life 

457
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:34,600
so much so that people can see 
it. 

458
00:29:36,700 --> 00:29:39,700
You know, the man the crippled 
man at the gate at the beautiful

459
00:29:39,700 --> 00:29:43,800
gate who was healed and who 
joined on with Peter and Paul 

460
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,900
and went on inside the gate, 
leaping and praising God. 

461
00:29:46,900 --> 00:29:50,700
The Bible said that the people 
who looked on saw that man. 

462
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,800
And saw these people who had 
done it, they said, they took 

463
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:55,900
knowledge of them that they had 
been with Jesus. 

464
00:29:57,100 --> 00:30:00,700
It was evident. 
It was obvious in their life. 

465
00:30:00,900 --> 00:30:03,400
They talk like him, they acted 
like him. 

466
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,800
They seem like him that Magnify 
Him. 

467
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:15,100
How do I do that by reading his 
word and by praying by 

468
00:30:15,100 --> 00:30:18,700
constantly striving to be more 
like him every day? 

469
00:30:19,900 --> 00:30:22,200
And I'm magnifying game when I 
do that. 

470
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,500
I read a beautiful little story 
one time. 

471
00:30:28,700 --> 00:30:34,400
That struck me as very, very 
touching, but it illustrates 

472
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:38,500
this fact so much. 
It was story of a preacher who 

473
00:30:38,500 --> 00:30:40,800
had some friends in Kansas City.
Missouri. 

474
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,400
He said it was in the home of 
some lovely Christian people who

475
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,300
had one sweet little daughter 
and she was stricken with a 

476
00:30:48,300 --> 00:30:51,100
malady, cut her down, and she 
died. 

477
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:57,100
Before they realized it. 
After she had gone, they had no 

478
00:30:57,100 --> 00:30:59,900
photograph of her, nothing 
whatsoever. 

479
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:05,100
Not even a snapshot that was 
adequate and these at and they 

480
00:31:05,100 --> 00:31:09,900
were old and not taken recently.
They were heartbroken and came 

481
00:31:09,900 --> 00:31:12,800
to this preacher and said oh if 
we just had a picture of our 

482
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:16,800
loved it youngster before us 
today and he said I know one 

483
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:20,000
artist. 
In the back streets of Kansas 

484
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:24,400
City who one time earned a great
livelihood. 

485
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:28,700
But his age and other 
circumstances, forced him from 

486
00:31:28,700 --> 00:31:33,100
the center of the profession. 
He had the skill like the artist

487
00:31:33,100 --> 00:31:39,800
today to do to do for the FBI 
and if you were to describe 

488
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:43,600
somebody, they can draw the 
picture and Flash it on the 

489
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:47,900
screen, all the paper and people
can recognize the individual. 

490
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,500
From what the artist has 
portrayed. 

491
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:55,100
Well, they went to the alert to 
the old largest and to this 

492
00:31:55,100 --> 00:32:02,000
profession professional man. and
they told him about it and he 

493
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:10,200
said, don't get your hopes up. 
But give me all the descriptions

494
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,000
that you can of your little 
daughter. 

495
00:32:12,900 --> 00:32:18,800
Tell me the color of her hair of
her eyes of her size of what she

496
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:20,900
liked. 
Bring me her toys. 

497
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:27,700
Tell me some things about her 
what she said, and you go home. 

498
00:32:30,100 --> 00:32:34,500
And when I call you, you come, 
I'll make do as best as I can to

499
00:32:34,500 --> 00:32:37,500
make a composite of your little 
daughter. 

500
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:44,700
Well, they went home and in 
weeks they got a call, they went

501
00:32:44,700 --> 00:32:48,800
to the old artist in back 
streets of Kansas sitting in a 

502
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:54,300
Dusty little Studio back there. 
And when they walked in, he told

503
00:32:54,300 --> 00:32:57,700
him, he said, now, as I told you
don't be disappointed. 

504
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:02,000
If I don't do what you expect, 
because I've done the best I 

505
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:06,800
can, he had have a seat here and
he unveiled the picture. 

506
00:33:07,900 --> 00:33:12,000
Oh, they jumped to their feet. 
Rush to that picture. 

507
00:33:13,300 --> 00:33:16,600
Tears sprang in their eyes and 
said, how could you possibly 

508
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,000
have done it? 
You bound of had some kind of 

509
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,800
picture there was a lightness of
their little daughter. 

510
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:26,300
Like they could believe You know
what happened? 

511
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:32,200
He took all the evidences and 
put it together, and people were

512
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,600
able to recognize it. 
Now, that's what we do with 

513
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:36,400
Jesus. 
I've never seen Jesus. 

514
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:41,000
You've never seen Jesus. 
But his Apostle Peter said, whom

515
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,400
having not seen. 
We loved and who though now. 

516
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:48,400
We see him not yet rejoicing, we
yet, believing we Rejoice with 

517
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,900
joy, unspeakable and full of 
Glory but I can take this 

518
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:58,000
evidence right here. 
I can read everything there is 

519
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:03,800
about Jesus and I can learn it 
and I can put it into my life. 

520
00:34:04,300 --> 00:34:06,900
And when I put that all together
into my life and when you put it

521
00:34:06,900 --> 00:34:09,699
all together in your life, 
people are going to see Jesus in

522
00:34:09,699 --> 00:34:12,900
it. 
And his name is going to be 

523
00:34:12,900 --> 00:34:18,500
glorified magnified. 
I have one little Point here. 

524
00:34:18,500 --> 00:34:25,100
I want to read before I close 
The poem says, so he painted a 

525
00:34:25,100 --> 00:34:29,500
picture of Judas and the model 
who posed for the part, how to 

526
00:34:29,500 --> 00:34:32,400
face a repulsive in Cruel till 
it taxed. 

527
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:36,800
Even the artist great art and a 
story. 

528
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,199
He told us, he painted the story
of Jesus. 

529
00:34:39,199 --> 00:34:43,600
So sweet when it was finished. 
The man took his wages and just 

530
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:48,500
rambled on out into the street 
years passed and the artist 

531
00:34:48,500 --> 00:34:51,400
grown famous wish to picture of 
Jesus to paint. 

532
00:34:52,100 --> 00:34:55,699
So he searched to be found him a
model with a sweet kindly face 

533
00:34:55,699 --> 00:34:59,700
of a saint, but before he had 
picked up his brush ascribe, the

534
00:34:59,700 --> 00:35:05,000
artist, I've done you, I know 
That's true said the man. 

535
00:35:05,300 --> 00:35:09,500
I was Judas. 
But it happened a long time ago.

536
00:35:10,700 --> 00:35:13,600
And the Man in the story that 
you told me, he's coming to my 

537
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:15,800
heart. 
Thanks to you. 

538
00:35:17,100 --> 00:35:19,400
And it isn't my face that you 
see, sir. 

539
00:35:20,300 --> 00:35:27,100

through Ladies and gentlemen is 

540
