It's wonderful to be here all together today.
It's the Lord's Day and we have an appointment this morning with
our Lord and we're grateful for that.
And we have a wonderful crowd and we appreciate the presence
of each and everyone that's come to be with us.
We have visitors here today and we want to say welcome to you.
It's good to be together. It's good to worship together.
And as always is the case, I do consider it an honor to speak
concerning the Word of God. Today we are finishing a long
series that has taken us over a year and a half, and that is to
preach on the subject or the greatest sermon the Lord ever
preached. It was his masterpiece.
It was the great Sermon on the Mount.
And this morning's lesson is his conclusion where Jesus talks
about the importance of building on the rock and what that
actually means. We're going to get to that in
just a moment, but this sermon was the greatest sermon ever
preached. In this sermon, the Lord taught
us about life. He taught us about faith.
He taught us about actions, that our actions actually matter.
And he taught us that it all begins in the heart.
Yeah, your heart matters too, and your behavior is the
manifestation of the heart. He emphasized over and over
again the importance of fixing us on the inside so that we can
fix ourselves on the outside. He told us that if we're
struggling on the outside with things, it's because we haven't
rectified or fixed the things on the inside.
He preached like no man had ever preached before.
It was indeed his masterpiece. Very briefly though, I want to
sum up what we've talked about in the last year and a half and,
and I'm going to be very brief. This is what we've talked about
on this great sermon. First of all, in Matthew chapter
5 and verse one, the Bible says when he was set or when he was
seated. You know, I've seen Hollywood's
depiction of the Sermon on the Mount where Jesus is standing
and everybody else is standing, but he's elevated high standing
and everybody's listening. That's not what he did.
It was very customary back then that the teacher would not
stand. The teacher would sit.
So Jesus found an elevated position and he sat down and so
did the people. So they were literally doing, as
we say, figuratively all the time.
They were seated at the feet of the Master.
And he began by saying this in the Beatitudes, the first 12
verses of Matthew chapter 5, He begins by saying blessed are the
poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they that mourn, for they will be comforted.
He talks about hungering and thirsting after righteousness
and what he talks about, first of all, and this is very
significant and very important in the Beatitudes, he's saying
this number one, you got to have the proper relationship with
God. That's how it all begins.
Once you have the proper relationship with God, you now
have the mental disposition to serve God all of your life.
And once you do that, it leads to to our life that God wants us
to have and wants us to live. And then he said this after
that, you now have a responsibility and that is to
the world. By way of an example, by the
way, the Beatitudes, if you want to know what the elements or
what makes up true happiness and true blessedness, read the 12
verses of Matthew chapter 5, the 1st 12 verses.
If you want to know people talk about what makes you happy, what
makes you truly happy and truly blessed is found in the 1st 12
verses. Once you do that, you now have a
responsibility. Jesus said you're the salt of
the earth and you're the light of the world.
Jesus is the light. We're not the light.
We are luminaries to broadcast the light of Jesus Christ to a
Dark World. Then he said this.
Then he starts talking about the heart and he says murder begins
in the heart. He said you've heard that it had
been said, you shall not commit murder.
Going all the way back to the 10 Commandments.
But what Jesus was doing is he wasn't erasing Old Testament
law. He was establishing new
authoritative law that would supersede it.
And that was this, he says. But I say to you that whoever is
angry with his brother without a cause has committed murder
already in his heart. He continues the theme of the
heart with adultery too. He says, You heard that it had
been said, You shall not commit adultery.
They all understood that. But Jesus says, But I say to you
that whoever looks upon a woman to lust after her has committed
adultery already in his heart. Then he talks about the marriage
relationship. The marriage relationship is
sacred and binding, and The only exception for divorce, he says,
is for sexual immorality. He further goes on to say this.
He talks about our relationship and please get this with our
enemies. And he does it in two sermons.
And we did too #1 is going the second mile.
That's what second mile religion actually means.
It's dealing with your enemies and people and behavior.
And secondly, he talks about loving your enemies.
That's hard to do with it, but Jesus says that's what you're
going to do. He talks about this.
When you do good and we're supposed to do good, we are
actually created for good works. But when you do it, don't do it
to please men. Don't do it to be patted on the
back by men. Do it to please God.
And when you do it, and the motivation or the motive behind
the ACT is so that people give you credit, Jesus said you have
your reward. In other words, whatever form of
recognition that man gave you is all you're going to get because
you're getting nothing from God. Then he said this.
How about priorities? He said this.
You got a choice, he says. I'm saying lay up for yourselves
treasures in heaven. The things that really matter.
When you lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, what
happens? Guess what?
A moth can come and tear it apart, and even rust can destroy
it. But if you lay up treasures in
heaven, and please get this, if you do that, and from a
spiritual perspective, that's what's really important to you,
is following God and laying up treasures in heaven, then
nothing on the earth that can take your physical stuff,
nothing like that can take away that inheritance from you if you
lay it up in heaven. And by the way, don't worry too
much about this world because God's got your back.
Wow, how about that? Oh, and don't worry, by the way,
what's God do? If God so clothed the grass of
the field, which today is and tomorrow is thrown into the
oven, don't you think He's going to clothe you?
Oh, you a little faith. He talks about the birds.
He's going to take care of them. Birds too.
Don't think he's going to take care of you.
And then he says that Matthew 6 and 33 But seek first the
Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these
things will be added unto you, the necessities of life.
So by the way, don't worry. Then also in chapter 6, he says
that man's existence goes beyond this life.
I'm so glad that that's the case, aren't you?
That this life is not the end. There's something is so much
better and so much more. But because man's existence goes
beyond this life, he says there's only two ways.
Please get this, only two. There's the narrow way that
leads to life and there's the Broadway that leads to
destruction. Jesus says few that be that find
it meaning the narrow way. Why is that?
Because few, as you remember, as we preached on few, choose that
life because it's a life of sacrifice.
It's a life sometimes of difficulty.
It's a life sometimes of hardship.
It's a life of taking yourself and putting yourself aside and
putting the Lord 1st. And you know what?
Sometimes you're going to have persecutions and sometimes it's
going to be difficult. Then he says this.
While you're on the path, we got to beware of false prophets or
false teachers. They come to you in sheep's
clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.
How are we going to know who they are?
Very simply, Jesus says by their fruits you will know them.
Then he said this, and this was my last sermon that I preached
on the Sermon on the Mount, the judgment scene.
Only those who do the will of my Father, Jesus said, will enter
heaven. I'm so glad I didn't say that,
but Jesus did. Jesus says not everyone that
says to me, Lord, Lord will enter the Kingdom of heaven, but
he that does the will of my Father, which is in heaven.
After he said all of that, then he began his conclusion to this
masterful sermon and he describes two kinds of people,
the two kinds of people that would hear what he said.
And by the way, I don't know how many multitudes of people were
there that day. I just don't.
I just know there was a vast multitude of people that were
listening to the master. And I don't even know how many
people have actually read the Sermon on the Mount in their
life. But I'm going to tell you this.
After Jesus got done either with those that were listening then
or after Jesus gets done with you and I, after we read it and
anybody else that would read it, guess what?
Here comes the next verse. Here's his conclusion.
Here's his summary. And this is what he says.
Therefore, whoever hears these sayings of mine and does them, I
will liken him to a wise man who builds his house on the rock.
There's two kinds of people. By the way, Jesus describes two
kinds of people that heard this sermon.
Two kinds. 2 responses. 1 is a good thing.
He's going to listen, he's going to hear, and he's going to do.
And Jesus says that's the man that's going to build on the
rock. But let's back up for just a
moment as he paints this picture of two builders.
He talks about floods and he talks about storms.
I got to make this point. I may make it again because I
want you to really get this. Please, 2 builders face the same
storm. Just because you're a good
builder and you build on the rock doesn't mean that you're
going to be exempt from the storms of life and the pains of
life and the hardships of life and the persecutions that come
your way. Both builders are subjected to
the same storm. Now here's the Lord being
masterful, being brilliant again, Brilliant.
You know why I did that? You know why I chose storms and
he chose rain and he chose all these things because they were
very prevalent. Floods and storms were very
prevalent in Palestine. So they would have got that.
He got their attention right away.
They would have understood that. He begins by saying, therefore,
whoever hears these sayings of mine and does them, if you go
back to verse 21, he talks about saying and doing, and this verse
he's talking about hearing and doing.
OK, what's the point? The point is, in both cases
cases, action is of greatest importance.
In other words, it doesn't matter what you hear and it
doesn't matter what you say. If you don't obey the Lord's
will, if you don't obey what the Lord said, it's all about
obedience. It's all about action.
It's all about choices. OK, then he says this.
If you do these things, if you hear these things and you do
them, I'm going to liken him to a wise man that built his house
on the rock. The word rock, by the way, is a
word that actually means this. It doesn't mean small stone.
It doesn't mean boulder either, by the way.
The word actually means an immense expanse of bedrock.
It comes from the word in its origins, the word petron.
And the word actually means this.
It means an immense expanse of bedrock.
Hold that thought for just a moment.
That word rock in reference to something else is also mentioned
in the New Testament by Jesus, and it's in Matthew chapter 16
when Jesus asked his disciples. As I Fast forward briefly, I
don't have time. As Jesus says, who do men say
that I am? And they started saying you,
some say you're this guy, some say you're that guy, and so
forth and so on. Jesus says, but who do you say
that I am? And Jesus and Peter said you are
the Christ, the Son of the living God.
And Jesus said you are Peter. Now please don't misunderstand
this because I know that Hollywood depicts this
differently. Peter is not the rock, He said.
You are Peter. A different word than this word,
a little stone, petros, a little stone, a fragment or a part of a
stone. But upon this rock, same word,
which is an immense expanse of bedrock.
Jesus said I'm going to build my church.
Jesus was not building the church on Peter.
Jesus was building the church on himself.
And on that factual statement that Jesus is the Christ, the
Son of the living God, upon that statement of fact, Jesus calls
that statement the rock. OK, the rock that Jesus is
talking about here for us to lay our foundation is a different
thing, but the same word. Hold that thought, I'll get to
it. It's the same word as in
Matthew. Here's the point.
This is what a builder has to do, by the way, and the New
Testament is full of this. This is what a builder has to do
#1 you got to locate the bedrock.
Keep that in mind. You got to locate the bedrock #2
you got to dig deep, according to Matthew chapter 6.
Then after you dig deep, you got to lay the foundation.
After you lay the foundation, then you got to build the house.
That is literal. That is a literal structure.
But the same is true with regards to our spiritual life.
OK, so whatever that rock is, and we'll get to that in a
minute, that's what we have to find.
Got to find the rock, got to count the cost.
If we dig deep and lay the proper foundation, we have what
it takes to withstand the onslaught of the storms of life.
But I'm going to tell you right now from a spiritual
perspective, if you do not lay that proper foundation, and that
proper foundation is founded upon this bedrock that we're
going to talk about, then you'll be tossed to and fro and you
won't make it. You'll bounce around and the
onslaught of Satan's temptations will get us and we will crumble.
A wise builder knows this. A wise builder takes deliberate
action. Do you know why?
Because the wise builder knows that the storms are going to
come. Not that they might come.
They will come. A wise builder knows they will
come. OK.
The structure is not any stronger than the foundation for
which it's built. And if we want to do this, if we
want to withstand the storms of life, here it comes.
We have to build on the proper foundation on the rock.
What is the rock? The rock is the word of God.
The rock that we build on is the word of God.
The rock that the church is built on is Jesus.
Amen. Jesus is the founder and builder
of the church. That word rock.
We build our spiritual foundation, which is our
spiritual house, on the foundation of the Word of God.
That's what Jesus said. You got to hear my sayings and
you got to do them. What's he talking about?
His Word, His Word. How do I know that?
Let's look at some passages, Matthew 24 and 35.
Heaven and earth will pass away, but what?
My words will by no means pass away.
What else? James 125 but he who looks into
the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a
forgetful hearer and but a doer of the work.
This one will be blessed in what he does.
It's the same word too, by the way, that guides us.
Oh, but there's more. It's also the same word that
would judge us. John 12 and 48, Jesus said he
rejects me, does not receive my words, has that which judges
him. The word that I've spoken will
judge him in that last day. So when you build our spiritual
lives on the proper foundation, which is the word of God, we're
going to have what it takes to make it.
In fact, Jesus says this. This is what's going to happen
when you do it. The rain descended, the floods
came, the winds blew, and it beat on that house and it did
not fall. Isn't that great?
Storms are coming. It did not fall.
Don't you understand? That's you, what you see.
That's us if it's on the proper foundation of the word of God
and not man's opinions, not man's theories, not man's
thoughts, and not what I kind of think or hope or wonder.
I had a buddy of mine say to me the other day said, I see what
you're saying about the word of God.
It does say that, but I just choose to think this, don't want
to do that because Jesus talks about that guy building on the
sand. Want to build on the rock, the
rocks, the word of God. OK, all right, in both these
examples, I want you to picture this, please.
I kind of picture it like this, that the Lord was doing this.
And you know, when the Lord established these examples, it's
kind of like a parable and a parables are laying alongside.
He took something of a physical nature and he laid it all
alongside a spiritual application.
And believe this or as the Word of God teaches, they both had to
be true. They both had to be true on the
physical side and on the spiritual side.
You want to kind of picture this?
Jesus, the picture and kind of two neighbors, 2 houses built
side by side, both are subjected to the same storm. 1's a wise
builder because he builds on the rock.
One's a foolish builder because he built on the sand.
This guy that builds on the rock, guess what?
That same storm that comes, the floods come, the winds blow, it
beats on the House. Nothing is spared.
Everything is coming out the house in every direction, but it
stands and it does not fall. Why did this guy have an
advantage over the other guy? Oh, very important.
He wasn't given special privileges.
It wasn't because of wealth, it wasn't because of popularity.
It was because of choice. This guy gained the advantage of
building on the proper structure because he made the choice to do
just that. Man, choices are everything.
How many times where our kids were little and go out there and
make good choices? I mean, choices are everything.
Choices. He made the choice.
That's what gave him the advantage.
And because of that, his house stood.
And the choice was choosing to obey and follow the word of God,
this phrase. And the rains descended and the
floods came and the winds blew. Yeah, it got every aspect of it.
The key was it was founded on the rock, and that must be God's
word. That's the good response.
That's the one person that
responds properly. What about the other guy in
Matthew Chapter 7 and verse 26? But everyone who hears these
sayings of mine and does not do them, not good.
He who hears these things of mine and does not do them, you
know, I got to say, my whole life I've heard this.
I've heard people say, you know, what about the poor person way
over in the other side of the world that never heard the
Gospel? I mean, is it really going to be
fair if they die and they didn't know Jesus when they never were
told anything? My response to that, by the way,
is, first of all, that's not up to me, that's up to God.
God will just deal with that. That's God's.
That's God's judgement and all that.
That's not up to me. That's number one.
Number two, whatever God chooses and decides will be right and
just. And #3 by the way, the emphasis
is not on focusing on people that may have never heard.
If the emphasis is doing what the Lord said, let's take the
gospel of the world. Can it happen?
Yes. Did you know that historically,
before AD 70, before the destruction of Jerusalem, the
gospel of Jesus Christ went to the entire world.
In the book of Acts, the Bible says they, literally, the
apostles turned the world upside down by preaching.
So yes, it's possible to take the gospel to the world.
So let's throw that example out and leave that up to God.
OK, All right. What we're talking about here is
not somebody that's never heard. We're talking about somebody
that has heard and doesn't do it.
That's the key. That's the difference.
Jesus says if you hear and you do not do, I'm going to liken
him to a foolish man who builds his house on the sand.
And I got to talk about the word fool and foolish for just a
moment because I'm going to tell you, if you look at the original
word in this passage and you look at our English word fool or
foolish, it is not as severe enough.
Our English vernacular is not as severe as this word here in this
passage. You know why?
Because over time the word has changed in its application, in
its usage, and in its meaning. You probably remember this in my
lifetime. I remember years, a few years
ago, it actually became a term of greeting between two friends.
One guy might walk up to another guy, go, hey, what's up fool?
The word has changed in meaning. Jesus is talking about something
that is more severe than that. Did you know that the word
foolish in this passage comes from a Greek adjective?
It's the word morose. Can you imagine what word comes
from morose? You know it is.
You know it's coming. It's the word moron.
What Jesus was saying is, and I'm not trying to make jokes or
make fun here, listen, what he's saying is it's the same word.
Everyone who hears these things of mine and does not do them
will be likened unto a moron who builds his house on the sand.
Wow. That's what the Lord said.
That's what Jesus said. The fool's decision to build on
the sand stands in stark contrast to the wise man's
decision to build on the rock. OK, so here's a very important
question. Very, very important question.
If that's the case, why in the world would anybody build on the
shifting sand? You might say, well, nobody
would do that. Yeah, they would.
And there's three reasons, 3 reasons.
Here they are. And by the way, it applies
physically and it applies spiritually.
Here's 3 reasons #1 because building on the sand is easy,
man It's easy. It requires little effort.
Many Christians follow this example.
Please get this when they demonstrate no real dedication
to Jesus and they just want an easy Rd.
Do you know what's entailed in serving God and being a disciple
of Jesus Christ? Here they are #1 self-discipline
that's hard to do right #2 self sacrifice that's even harder #3
daily living for Jesus as Jesus says, taking up your cross and
following me. Hard stuff, right?
The problem is, when you decide to build on the sand, you are
representative of someone who is not willing to make those
commitments of self-discipline, self sacrifice and daily living
for Jesus Christ. But real Christianity is
difficult. It's hard.
Don't ever think by the way for a minute that when you decide to
follow Jesus that your life's going to get easy.
Remember, both face the same storms.
The one that found that's founded on the rock though is
protected, is protected and we have got on our side too.
OK, but I'm going to tell you it's not easy.
In fact, Paul describes it a battle.
He says this in Second Timothy chapter 4 and verse seven.
He said I have fought the good fight.
Yeah, a fight. I have finished the race, I have
kept the faith. What was the fight?
It was the good fight of faith. Is it worth it?
Absolutely, it's always worth it.
And by the way, the fight of faith is always good.
Mark it, check it down, write it down, whatever you got to do.
I don't care what you got to go through.
But I'm going to tell you right now, the fight of faith is
always good, and you will never regret making a good decision.
What's number one reason why people build on the sand?
Because it's easy #2 because it's quick.
There's a lot of people that want the quick outcome.
They want the quick spiritual outcome.
I don't really want to change a lot in my life.
I just want, you've heard me say this, it's a frank ISM.
I just want to add a little Jesus to it.
Don't want to change anything. OK, So number one, it's easy #2
it's quick. Not realizing, not realizing
that serving God and following Jesus and being as we ought to
be is a lifelong responsibility and commitment.
It's for life. One man said it this way.
His first desire, those that build on the sand because it's
quick, is to please himself. And he takes the shortest route
to that end with no consideration of how it may
square with the Scriptures. Folks, there's a lot of folks
like that. Instead of building on the
foundation of the rock, meaning the word of God, and then then
build your belief system from that.
It's kind of like have a thought in your mind and then try to
figure out how you can justify what you believe.
You know what JW Mcgarby said about that?
When wish is father to the thought, it makes exegesis like
water off a duck's back. What that means is this, if your
wish is father to the thought, in other words, you want it to
be a certain way and not following what the word of God
says, and you want it to be what you want first, then truly
understanding the Word of God is like watered off a duck's back.
You ain't going to get it. We have to be founded on the
rock, which is the word of God. But #3 three reasons.
Building on the sand is superficial.
No quality standards are consulted.
And I think there's a lot of people that fall prey to this.
They're interested in saying they're a Christian, right?
And they're very, very interested in reaping the
benefits of what it means to be a Christian.
But there's no commitment on their part, no sacrifice, no
commitment. Unfortunately, they want it.
They're just not living it. I'm going to say something to
every Christian in this room right now.
There is a saying that says your actions speak so loudly.
I cannot hear a word you say. If you don't think in your life
that people are not looking at you, you're wrong.
They are, and you have an opportunity to set an example.
And you may never preach a sermon.
You may never verbalize or anything audibly out of your
mouth about Jesus publicly, but I guarantee you somebody's
watching you and it's your life. It's your example.
That is the sermon of your life. And it's more powerful than
anything that anybody could ever say.
They're watching what you do. A person that is looking for
things that are superficial is somebody that wants the
benefits. They don't want the life.
Good example, the Pharisees were
prime examples of this. They appeared religious on the
outside, but inwardly they had very little substance or no
substance at all. What did Jesus say though, about
these that build on the sand? The rains descended, the floods
came, the winds blew and it beat on that house and it fell and
great was its fall. You know, this is not partial
collapse. This is 100% destruction of the
house and all is lost. You know, very thankfully, I am
so thankful that Jesus is talking about a way of life, a
choice for a way of life. He's not talking about
Christians that make mistakes. Please understand that because I
got news for you, we all make mistakes.
And we may have our foundation, our spiritual foundation built
on that bedrock of the word of God.
And we may be part of the Lord's church that was founded upon the
rock of Christ himself, but we may struggle to in our life too.
And sometimes, you know what we need structural reinforcements.
We need some structural reinforcements to the house
because sometimes we mess up and we get weak and we make make
mistakes. Structural reinforcements, by
the way, come from repentance. OK, I've messed up, but I'm
going to change now. Ain't that great?
I was on the path, I messed up, but not all is lost.
Don't you understand? The only thing that is lost, all
is lost is the person that built on the wrong foundation, the
sand. All is not lost for the
Christian when he messes up repentance, prayer and what
else? Rededication to the Lord.
Refocus and be rededicated, the foolish builders.
Unconcerned with this foundation, he chooses to ignore
the problems in life. He's a person that has neither
dedication or inclination to seek remedy.
And that kind of person or that kind of life ends in utter ruin.
Does that mean that all is lost to that person?
No, he just has to, spiritually speaking, go and build his
spiritual foundation on the rock of the Word of God and start
over. And that's all he's got to do.
I'm going to tell you right now, if you still have air in your
lungs and your heart still breathing, and when time is
still in existence, you got time, you can fix it.
You can change it. Everybody is a builder, we all
are. Everybody is laying up treasure
somewhere. The wise builder realizes that
life in this world will soon be over.
No matter how long you live, at some point life is going to be
over and the only thing that matters is having a relationship
with God and His Son and our Savior Jesus Christ, and laying
up treasures in heaven. That relationship, though, has
to be built upon the right foundation, and that foundation
must be based on the Word of God.
Masterful. Two different people, both heard
the same things, both had the same advantage, both understood
the word. 1 did it, one didn't. One was wise, 1 was foolish.
Then notice what happens after Jesus said that the next verse,
verse 28. And so it was when Jesus had
ended these things that the people were astonished at his
teaching. This is the final comment.
Now in the Lord's sermon as he draws it to a close, we know
that his sermon did not fall on deaf ears because you know what
happens in Matthew chapter 8 and verse one.
It says that great multitudes followed him when He ended these
things. It says the people were
astonished at his teaching. The word astonished means this.
It literally means they were struck out of their minds with
amazement. And why was that the next verse?
For He taught them as one having authority and not as one of the
scribes. I'm going to tell you something,
folks. I don't care if you teach
publicly. Please get this lesson right
here. Get this last point.
Get this conclusion to my sermon.
Get this right here because it's everything if you want to be a
teacher. They weren't astonished and
impressed because Jesus was a flamboyant animated speaker.
In fact, as I just said in our introduction, he quietly said
they were impressed. Or they were not impressed
because he flashed his academic or educational credentials
before them. They weren't impressed by that
either. You know why he had none?
He had no formal training at all.
John 7 and 15. They were also not impressed
with his complex theology. They weren't impressed by that
either. He taught them in the simplest
manner possible. And I like what my good pal Don
Kings used to always say. Some of the deepest things ever
preached in all the Bible were preached by Jesus.
And he just preached it in such a way that was so simple, people
understood. Amazing.
That's what the Lord did. Don't ever be in a position
where you want to sound like you want people to be impressed by
your knowledge or impressed by your delivery.
It's all about the Lord. They were impressed not by those
things. They were impressed because of
his doctrine, and they were impressed because of his
authority. And he didn't get these things
by rabbinical training, but he got it from his father.
This masterful sermon was a sermon of substance.
It had depth of content never seen before.
I actually read this to commentators.
Agree that the common person in the Lord's time generally heard
nothing more than the opinions of the Rabbi's who had come
before them. And I actually read this too,
that such scribal sermons were extremely boring.
That's what they were used to. Robertson said this.
Some of the sermons found in the Jewish Talmud were some of the
driest, dullest collection of disjointed comments upon every
conceivable problem in the history of mankind.
That's what they were used to. And here comes the Lord.
He dealt with real issues. He dealt with living righteously
before God. He dealt with living in harmony
with mankind. And you know what?
I'm going to spend the rest of my life trying my best to follow
that example. That is what people need.
That's it. Practical things that can help
us live the Christian life, serving God and each other.
I'm a quote my pal darling King one more time.
No wonder they called him the Master.
The Master. Greatest sermon ever preached.
