Pastor Byrd: If you
come tonight ready to receive
00:00:22.16\00:00:23.76
the Word of God, let
me hear you say Amen.
00:00:23.76\00:00:25.73
If you have your
Bibles, hold them up.
00:00:25.73\00:00:27.23
I want to see how many
Bibles in the house tonight.
00:00:27.23\00:00:28.73
Amen.
00:00:28.73\00:00:29.40
Hold them up, chase
the devil on out of here.
00:00:29.40\00:00:31.70
Repeat after me as you
hold up your Bible, every
00:00:31.70\00:00:34.60
promise in this book
is mine, every chapter,
00:00:34.60\00:00:38.50
every verse, every line, I
am saved by his grace divine,
00:00:38.50\00:00:46.30
every promise in
this book is mine.
00:00:46.30\00:00:53.30
Pray, God, right now
come now in this place.
00:00:53.30\00:00:55.93
Speak to your people, O
Lord, as we seek to deliver
00:00:55.93\00:01:00.96
a Word from you.
00:01:00.96\00:01:02.66
Disappoint us not and
may your Holy Ghost reign
00:01:02.66\00:01:06.40
tonight, we pray.
00:01:06.40\00:01:08.30
God, we give you praise
in advance for what you're
00:01:08.30\00:01:12.10
going to do for us
through your spoken Word.
00:01:12.10\00:01:16.16
We pray, we've sung, and
now we need a Word from you.
00:01:16.16\00:01:21.13
It's in the name
of Jesus we pray.
00:01:21.13\00:01:23.60
Let everyone say Amen.
00:01:23.60\00:01:24.96
And Amen.
00:01:24.96\00:01:26.30
Tonight we're going
to begin revival talking
00:01:26.30\00:01:28.10
about Jesus.
00:01:28.10\00:01:29.20
Is that all right, everybody?
00:01:29.20\00:01:30.66
I get excited when
I talk about Jesus.
00:01:30.66\00:01:32.36
Anybody else get excited
when we talk about Jesus?
00:01:32.36\00:01:35.86
There's something
about the name of Jesus.
00:01:35.86\00:01:38.66
Quickly, who is Jesus?
00:01:38.66\00:01:43.06
Some want to say that
Jesus is just a good man that
00:01:43.06\00:01:47.80
walked the dusty
streets of Galilee, but really,
00:01:47.80\00:01:50.86
tonight, who is Jesus?
00:01:50.86\00:01:55.83
Why are we always
talking about Jesus?
00:01:55.83\00:02:00.66
Why is it we always
get excited about Jesus?
00:02:00.66\00:02:06.30
When the preacher
gets up here and just calls
00:02:06.30\00:02:10.66
the name Jesus, its like a
Holy Ghost current that runs
00:02:10.66\00:02:14.06
through your body at the
sound of the name of Jesus.
00:02:14.06\00:02:17.30
First of us, because you
will discover as you come
00:02:17.30\00:02:20.40
to revival, we will teach
you, then we will preach you.
00:02:20.40\00:02:23.26
I tell people preaching
is not just decibel level.
00:02:23.26\00:02:26.60
If you're going to be
shouting and yelling, say
00:02:26.60\00:02:28.36
something worth shouting about.
00:02:28.36\00:02:30.90
So we teach you
and then we preach do.
00:02:30.90\00:02:33.26
Do I have a
witness in this place?
00:02:33.26\00:02:35.80
Why do we get
excited about Jesus?
00:02:35.80\00:02:39.73
Jesus, my friends,
first of all is God.
00:02:39.73\00:02:43.46
Jesus is whom, everybody?
00:02:43.46\00:02:44.70
Let's go to the Word.
00:02:44.70\00:02:46.20
Go to the Book of Genesis.
00:02:46.20\00:02:47.20
What book, everybody?
00:02:47.20\00:02:48.40
If you have your Bibles
with you, we're going to
00:02:48.40\00:02:50.76
Genesis, Chapter 1 and
we're going to verse 1.
00:02:50.76\00:02:55.26
Why do we get
excited about Jesus?
00:02:55.26\00:02:57.93
Jesus, my friends, is God.
00:02:57.93\00:03:01.26
Jesus is whom, everybody?
00:03:01.26\00:03:03.36
(Aud: God.) Genesis
1:1, the Word of God says:
00:03:03.36\00:03:06.50
"In the" what?
00:03:06.50\00:03:07.33
Come on, in the what?
00:03:07.33\00:03:09.46
(Aud: Beginning.) "God
created the heaven and the"
00:03:09.46\00:03:11.30
what, everybody?
00:03:11.30\00:03:12.00
(Aud: Earth.) "In the
beginning God created the
00:03:12.00\00:03:14.76
heaven and the earth."
Now go down to verse 26,
00:03:14.76\00:03:18.16
talking about Jesus as God.
00:03:18.16\00:03:20.26
Genesis 1:26.
00:03:20.26\00:03:22.36
We've just read, in
the beginning God created
00:03:22.36\00:03:25.33
the heaven and the
earth, but now Genesis 1:26,
00:03:25.33\00:03:29.36
and the Word of God says:
"And God said, Let us" what,
00:03:29.36\00:03:33.13
everybody?
00:03:33.13\00:03:34.10
Let us make what?
00:03:34.10\00:03:35.86
(Aud: Man.) In our what?
00:03:35.86\00:03:37.56
(Aud: Image.) After our what?
00:03:37.56\00:03:39.83
(Aud: Likeness.) Now
let's stop there because there
00:03:39.83\00:03:42.06
are a lot of people that
want to say Jesus is not God.
00:03:42.06\00:03:44.76
Genesis 1:1 says, in the
beginning God created the
00:03:44.76\00:03:48.96
heavens and the earth.
00:03:48.96\00:03:50.36
Then we continue in the
same book of the same chapter
00:03:50.36\00:03:53.00
and the Word of God
says, and God said let what?
00:03:53.00\00:03:55.70
(Aud: Us) Notice the text
does not say, and God said,
00:03:55.70\00:04:01.93
let me.
00:04:01.93\00:04:04.56
The text says, and
God said, let us make man.
00:04:04.56\00:04:08.66
Pointing to more than one.
00:04:08.66\00:04:10.83
The Father, the
Son and the Holy Ghost.
00:04:10.83\00:04:14.30
Three in one working to
bring about our salvation.
00:04:14.30\00:04:18.30
And God said, let us make man
in our own image, after what?
00:04:18.30\00:04:24.40
Our.
00:04:24.40\00:04:25.60
Not let me make man in
my image after my likeness.
00:04:25.60\00:04:31.53
But the Word says:
"God said, Let us make man
00:04:31.53\00:04:34.93
in our own image, after
our likeness: and let them have
00:04:34.93\00:04:37.63
dominion over the fish of
the sea, and over the fowl
00:04:37.63\00:04:39.66
of the air, and over
the cattle, and over all the
00:04:39.66\00:04:42.30
earth, and over
every creeping thing that
00:04:42.30\00:04:44.53
creepeth upon the earth."
00:04:44.53\00:04:45.23
In the beginning God.
00:04:45.23\00:04:46.50
In the
beginning whom, everybody?
00:04:46.50\00:04:48.26
(Aud: God.) Repetition
deepens the impression,
00:04:48.26\00:04:49.83
stay with me.
00:04:49.83\00:04:50.93
In the beginning whom?
00:04:50.93\00:04:51.60
God.
00:04:51.60\00:04:52.20
Created the
heavens and the what?
00:04:52.20\00:04:53.96
(Aud: Earth.) And
God said, let what?
00:04:53.96\00:04:55.83
(Aud: Us.) Make what?
00:04:55.83\00:04:56.63
(Aud: Man.) In our what?
00:04:56.63\00:04:57.53
(Aud: Image.) After our what?
00:04:57.53\00:04:59.96
(Aud: Likeness.) Pointing
to the fact they are three
00:04:59.96\00:05:01.63
in one.
00:05:01.63\00:05:02.96
Jesus, my friends, is God.
00:05:02.96\00:05:05.26
But I know somebody
is sitting there saying,
00:05:05.26\00:05:07.13
Pastor Byrd,
this is Old Testament.
00:05:07.13\00:05:09.46
Give me some New Testament,
because that's in the Old
00:05:09.46\00:05:11.50
and I don't know
about all that Old.
00:05:11.50\00:05:13.26
But let me tell you
this, the Old and the New will
00:05:13.26\00:05:16.60
never contradict itself.
00:05:16.60\00:05:18.43
It is the Word of God
from Genesis to Revelation,
00:05:18.43\00:05:21.40
cover to cover, the Word
of God is God's holy, inspired
00:05:21.40\00:05:25.06
Word.
00:05:25.06\00:05:26.06
The Word of God is
just that, the Word of God.
00:05:26.06\00:05:29.50
But for that inquisitive
mind tonight, let's go to
00:05:29.50\00:05:31.83
the New Testament.
00:05:31.83\00:05:33.00
Go with me to the Book of John.
00:05:33.00\00:05:34.96
What book did I say, everybody?
00:05:34.96\00:05:36.43
John.
00:05:36.43\00:05:37.26
Fourth chapter of the
New Testament, Matthew, Mark,
00:05:37.26\00:05:38.66
Luke and John.
00:05:38.66\00:05:40.10
The Word of God says to
us tonight from the Book of
00:05:40.10\00:05:42.73
John 1:1, and if your
neighbor needs to find it
00:05:42.73\00:05:46.60
and they need help,
help your neighbor find it.
00:05:46.60\00:05:48.70
John 1:1, if you have it
let me hear you say Amen.
00:05:48.70\00:05:52.53
The Word of God
says: In the what?
00:05:52.53\00:05:55.80
Again, there it is.
00:05:55.80\00:05:57.03
In the beginning.
00:05:57.03\00:05:58.10
Was the what?
00:05:58.10\00:05:59.26
Word, and the
Word was with whom?
00:05:59.26\00:06:02.63
(Aud: God.) But not only
was the Word with God but
00:06:02.63\00:06:04.73
the Word was God.
00:06:04.73\00:06:06.43
Again, in the
beginning was the what?
00:06:06.43\00:06:08.43
(Aud: Word.) And
the Word was with whom?
00:06:08.43\00:06:10.53
(Aud: God.) And
the Word was whom?
00:06:10.53\00:06:12.26
God.
00:06:12.26\00:06:12.96
In the beginning
God created the heavens
00:06:12.96\00:06:14.73
and the what?
00:06:14.73\00:06:15.83
(Aud: Earth.) God
said, let us make what?
00:06:15.83\00:06:18.16
(Aud: Man.) In our own
image, after our likeness.
00:06:18.16\00:06:20.43
New Testament, in the
beginning was the what?
00:06:20.43\00:06:23.40
Word.
00:06:23.40\00:06:24.33
The Word was with whom?
00:06:24.33\00:06:25.30
God.
00:06:25.30\00:06:26.20
And the Word was what?
00:06:26.20\00:06:27.23
God.
00:06:27.23\00:06:28.00
"The same was in
the beginning with God.
00:06:28.00\00:06:29.63
All things were made by
him; and without him was
00:06:29.63\00:06:35.60
not any thing made that
was made." But is Jesus God?
00:06:35.60\00:06:38.96
Well, let's find out
that the Word is Jesus.
00:06:38.96\00:06:42.00
Go with me to verse 14,
the Word of God says to us in
00:06:42.00\00:06:45.30
John 1:14: "And the
Word was made" what?
00:06:45.30\00:06:48.86
Flesh.
00:06:48.86\00:06:51.00
Thank God for Jesus.
00:06:51.00\00:06:51.76
"And dwelt among us,
(and we beheld his glory,
00:06:51.76\00:06:58.86
the glory as of the
only begotten of the Father,)
00:06:58.86\00:07:01.46
full of grace and truth."
00:07:01.46\00:07:04.36
Now tonight I said
we're going to begin revival
00:07:04.36\00:07:06.50
talking about Jesus.
00:07:06.50\00:07:07.93
Not talking about
Pastor Byrd, not talking about
00:07:07.93\00:07:10.03
Pastor Davis, but
we're going to begin talking
00:07:10.03\00:07:12.20
about Jesus.
00:07:12.20\00:07:12.96
Is Jesus God?
00:07:12.96\00:07:15.00
The answer to that is what?
00:07:15.00\00:07:16.03
Yes, because the Word of
God says, in the beginning
00:07:16.03\00:07:18.93
God created the
heavens and the what?
00:07:18.93\00:07:20.93
(Aud: Earth.) The Word of
God says, and God said let
00:07:20.93\00:07:23.10
what?
00:07:23.10\00:07:24.00
Us.
00:07:24.00\00:07:24.76
Make man.
00:07:24.76\00:07:25.43
Not let me but let us
make man, in our what?
00:07:25.43\00:07:27.53
Image.
00:07:27.53\00:07:28.73
After our likeness.
00:07:28.73\00:07:29.53
In the beginning was the
Word, the Word was with whom?
00:07:29.53\00:07:34.40
God.
00:07:34.40\00:07:35.20
The Word was whom?
00:07:35.20\00:07:36.30
God.
00:07:36.30\00:07:37.30
And then the Word
became flesh, dwelt among us.
00:07:37.30\00:07:46.40
Now, Jesus is God.
00:07:46.40\00:07:49.93
But let me still tell you
why I get excited about Jesus.
00:07:49.93\00:07:53.53
Because when I was a little boy,
00:07:53.53\00:07:55.83
one of the first texts
I learned to memory was,
00:07:55.83\00:07:58.90
(John 3:16) "For God so
loved the world, that he
00:07:58.90\00:08:02.63
gave his only begotten
Son, that whosoever believeth in
00:08:02.63\00:08:06.23
him should not perish,
but have everlasting life."
00:08:06.23\00:08:11.33
That's why I get
excited about Jesus, because God
00:08:11.33\00:08:13.23
sent his son Jesus.
00:08:13.23\00:08:15.20
Now, let me be honest,
if you all had messed on me
00:08:15.20\00:08:18.00
like they messed on
Jesus, if I had been God
00:08:18.00\00:08:20.86
I probably would
have sent some plagues.
00:08:20.86\00:08:22.76
Come on, say Amen.
00:08:22.76\00:08:23.63
But God sent his son
Jesus to die for you and to die
00:08:23.63\00:08:27.43
for me and through his
blood, thank you, Jesus,
00:08:27.43\00:08:30.53
I have eternal life tonight.
00:08:30.53\00:08:31.76
Now, you get excited
when somebody does something
00:08:31.76\00:08:36.90
for you.
00:08:36.90\00:08:37.86
Get excited when
somebody gives you flowers.
00:08:37.86\00:08:42.13
When somebody gives
you a Walmart card you get
00:08:42.13\00:08:43.83
excited.
00:08:43.83\00:08:44.70
Come on, say Amen.
00:08:44.70\00:08:46.03
When somebody gives
you money you sho' nuff
00:08:46.03\00:08:49.06
get excited.
00:08:49.06\00:08:51.33
When somebody gives you a
car, even if it's a hoop-dee,
00:08:51.33\00:08:53.26
you still get excited.
00:08:53.26\00:08:56.70
But let me tell you
what Jesus has done for me
00:08:56.70\00:09:00.83
that gets me excited.
00:09:00.83\00:09:02.83
Do you know that the
alarm clock didn't wake you up,
00:09:02.83\00:09:05.40
but the Lord woke you up
this morning, started you
00:09:05.40\00:09:08.86
on your way and put food
on your table and clothing on
00:09:08.86\00:09:10.80
your back, but what
else has Jesus done for me?
00:09:10.80\00:09:14.43
Jesus has saved my soul.
00:09:14.43\00:09:17.23
Revelation, Chapter 1,
verse 5 says: "And from
00:09:17.23\00:09:20.83
Jesus Christ, who is the
faithful witness, and the
00:09:20.83\00:09:23.76
first begotten of the dead,
and the prince of the kings
00:09:23.76\00:09:25.66
of the earth.
00:09:25.66\00:09:26.66
Unto him that loved us,
and washed us from our sins in
00:09:26.66\00:09:30.90
his own blood." Oh, I
don't know about you, but the
00:09:30.90\00:09:37.73
old folks used to sing a
song, I know it was the blood.
00:09:37.73\00:09:41.66
I know that I
know that I know it was
00:09:41.66\00:09:45.16
the blood for me.
00:09:45.16\00:09:46.50
One day when I was
lost, he died upon that cross
00:09:46.50\00:09:50.33
and I know it
was the blood for me.
00:09:50.33\00:09:55.30
Revelation, Chapter 4,
verse 11 talks about the
00:09:55.30\00:09:57.56
fact that Jesus is worthy.
00:09:57.56\00:09:59.46
What makes Jesus worthy?
00:09:59.46\00:10:00.53
Was it the miracles he
performed, turning water
00:10:00.53\00:10:03.33
into wine?
00:10:03.33\00:10:04.96
Healing the blind man
at the pool of Bethesda?
00:10:04.96\00:10:08.06
Healing the woman
with the issue of blood?
00:10:08.06\00:10:09.33
Raising Lazarus from the dead?
00:10:09.33\00:10:12.46
What makes Jesus
worthy to redeem us?
00:10:12.46\00:10:15.53
We're still in the Book of John.
00:10:15.53\00:10:16.90
Go to John 1:29, and
the Word says to us tonight:
00:10:16.90\00:10:21.13
"The next day John
seeth" whom, everybody?
00:10:21.13\00:10:27.03
Come on, John
seeth whom, everybody?
00:10:27.03\00:10:29.93
"Jesus coming unto him,
and saith, Behold the Lamb of
00:10:29.93\00:10:35.16
God, which taketh away
the sin of the world." Behold
00:10:35.16\00:10:42.23
the Lamb of God, which
taketh away the sins of the
00:10:42.23\00:10:45.86
world.
00:10:45.86\00:10:46.70
You see, friends of
mine, we're sinners.
00:10:46.70\00:10:49.03
Oh, you don't believe that.
00:10:49.03\00:10:52.23
Let me try that
again, I said we're sinners.
00:10:52.23\00:10:55.73
Romans 5:12 says: "All
have sinned" and come short of
00:10:55.73\00:11:01.13
the glory of God.
00:11:01.13\00:11:01.96
So, let me try it one more time.
00:11:01.96\00:11:03.66
I said, we're sinners,
and every sinner needs a
00:11:03.66\00:11:07.06
savior.
00:11:07.06\00:11:08.60
Romans 6:23 says: "For
the wages of sin is death,"
00:11:08.60\00:11:13.00
which means you and
I, we deserve death.
00:11:13.00\00:11:17.06
For what we do we deserve death.
00:11:17.06\00:11:19.73
But praise God for that
conjunction called "but."
00:11:19.73\00:11:22.83
The wages of sin is
death, "but the gift of God is
00:11:22.83\00:11:28.80
eternal life through
Jesus Christ our Lord."
00:11:28.80\00:11:34.03
Jesus says, I am the
way, the truth and the life.
00:11:34.03\00:11:36.30
No man cometh to
the Father but by me.
00:11:36.30\00:11:38.60
He was wounded
for my transgressions,
00:11:38.60\00:11:41.90
bruised for my iniquities,
the chastisement of my peace
00:11:41.90\00:11:44.23
was upon him, but thank God,
even when I don't act right,
00:11:44.23\00:11:46.96
even when I don't do
right, by his stripes
00:11:46.96\00:11:54.50
I'm healed tonight.
00:11:54.50\00:11:56.40
So I'm here to let somebody
know tonight, I don't care
00:11:56.40\00:11:58.86
what you've done, no
matter what you did 20 years ago
00:11:58.86\00:12:02.46
that other folk won't
forgive you for, no matter
00:12:02.46\00:12:04.80
what you've done 10 years
ago that you won't forgive
00:12:04.80\00:12:07.70
yourself for, no matter
what you did a year ago,
00:12:07.70\00:12:09.50
a month ago, a week
ago, what you did last week,
00:12:09.50\00:12:12.60
what you did last
night, what you did before
00:12:12.60\00:12:16.36
you came to church
tonight, if you've been washed
00:12:16.36\00:12:19.23
in God's blood, if
you've repented of your sins,
00:12:19.23\00:12:23.60
I want to
encourage you to open up
00:12:23.60\00:12:27.13
your heart and let
the Holy Ghost come in.
00:12:27.13\00:12:32.10
There is therefore now
no condemnation to those who
00:12:32.10\00:12:34.36
are in Jesus Christ.
00:12:34.36\00:12:35.36
I guess you can say
tonight I'm excited about Jesus.
00:12:35.36\00:12:37.33
I said I'm excited about Jesus.
00:12:37.33\00:12:40.00
Jesus is God.
00:12:40.00\00:12:41.43
Jesus died for me.
00:12:41.43\00:12:43.10
Some of you all still
sitting there looking at me
00:12:43.10\00:12:45.26
like I've lost my mind,
but let me talk about Jesus.
00:12:45.26\00:12:47.80
He came to earth
as a common baby.
00:12:47.80\00:12:50.36
He was delivered
in a common stable.
00:12:50.36\00:12:52.76
He was born to common parents.
00:12:52.76\00:12:55.16
He was birthed
in a common village.
00:12:55.16\00:12:57.73
He was wrapped
in common clothes.
00:12:57.73\00:12:59.93
He was placed
in a common manger.
00:12:59.93\00:13:02.06
He was laid on common hay.
00:13:02.06\00:13:03.66
He was breathed
on by common oxen.
00:13:03.66\00:13:06.70
He was reared as
a common carpenter.
00:13:06.70\00:13:09.33
He was heard by
the common people.
00:13:09.33\00:13:11.96
He associated
with common fishermen.
00:13:11.96\00:13:14.06
He ate with common publicans.
00:13:14.06\00:13:16.20
He admitted he came
to save common sinners.
00:13:16.20\00:13:19.26
He preached from a common boat.
00:13:19.26\00:13:21.63
He rode a common mule.
00:13:21.63\00:13:22.96
He was tried for a
common crime as though he was a
00:13:22.96\00:13:25.80
common criminal.
00:13:25.80\00:13:30.16
He died a common death.
00:13:30.16\00:13:33.46
He was placed in a common grave.
00:13:33.46\00:13:36.00
But one day, I said, one
day this commoner rose up,
00:13:36.00\00:13:43.03
triumphant conqueror of
death held in the grave,
00:13:43.03\00:13:45.70
assuring us that he's able
to give us salvation and he
00:13:45.70\00:13:51.33
has the power to save.
00:13:51.33\00:13:52.50
Jesus, sweetest name I know.
00:13:52.50\00:13:56.00
Jesus, way maker.
00:13:56.00\00:13:57.63
Jesus, problem solver.
00:13:57.63\00:14:00.43
Jesus, heart fixer.
00:14:00.43\00:14:02.60
Jesus, mind regulator.
00:14:02.60\00:14:04.86
Jesus, bill payer.
00:14:04.86\00:14:07.43
Jesus, tuition payer at
the student accounts line.
00:14:07.43\00:14:11.56
Jesus, company keeper.
00:14:11.56\00:14:15.73
Jesus, headache reliever.
00:14:15.73\00:14:17.86
Jesus, marriage
savior, child protector,
00:14:17.86\00:14:24.20
house builder.
00:14:24.20\00:14:25.50
Jesus, lily of the
valley, bright and morning star,
00:14:25.50\00:14:29.56
fairest of ten thousand.
00:14:29.56\00:14:31.63
Somebody knows Jesus
is Jehovah Jireh, the Lord
00:14:31.63\00:14:35.20
will provide, Jehovah
Rapha, he's my healer,
00:14:35.20\00:14:39.83
Jehovah Nissi, he's my
banner, Jehovah Shalom,
00:14:39.83\00:14:44.13
somebody knows
Jesus is my peace.
00:14:44.13\00:14:47.56
Can we talk about Jesus?
00:14:47.56\00:14:50.76
Are you not getting
excited about Jesus?
00:14:50.76\00:14:53.86
He healed the broken
hearted, he set the captive
00:14:53.86\00:14:57.03
free, he made the lame
to walk again and he caused
00:14:57.03\00:15:00.26
the blind to see. Jesus.
00:15:00.26\00:15:02.03
Before you were even
thought of, before your
00:15:02.03\00:15:08.20
mamma and your daddy
got together, before your
00:15:08.20\00:15:11.80
grandmamma and granddaddy,
before Big Mama and Big
00:15:11.80\00:15:14.60
Daddy got together,
before the foundation of the
00:15:14.60\00:15:18.36
world, before Adam and
Eve, God already had a plan in
00:15:18.36\00:15:21.83
place.
00:15:21.83\00:15:22.70
It was the plan of salvation.
00:15:22.70\00:15:25.90
God knew that you and
I would need some Jesus.
00:15:25.90\00:15:30.20
And Acts 4:12 tells us
that there is no other name
00:15:30.20\00:15:34.76
under heaven whereby we
can be saved but save the name
00:15:34.76\00:15:38.56
of Jesus.
00:15:38.56\00:15:40.36
So if you don't like
talking about Jesus you've
00:15:40.36\00:15:42.23
come to the wrong place,
because I'm here to let you
00:15:42.23\00:15:44.20
know, Buddha can't do
nothing for me, Confucius
00:15:44.20\00:15:46.66
can't do nothing for me,
Mohammed can't do nothing
00:15:46.66\00:15:50.13
for me, but Jesus
can do something for me.
00:15:50.13\00:15:58.60
Jesus had to come save
Carlton Byrd of his sins
00:15:58.60\00:16:01.86
because sinners
needed forgiveness from sin,
00:16:01.86\00:16:04.33
and so because sinners
needed forgiveness from sin,
00:16:04.33\00:16:06.90
sinners needed salvation.
00:16:06.90\00:16:08.16
So back in the day
Jesus the Christ had not come
00:16:08.16\00:16:11.30
yet, and so the
people in the Old Testament,
00:16:11.30\00:16:15.43
they needed
forgiveness from sin.
00:16:15.43\00:16:18.40
And so the Bible teaches
that they had to come daily
00:16:18.40\00:16:20.20
into the sanctuary, if you
will, and they had to bring
00:16:20.20\00:16:23.06
a lamb without spot,
without blemish, and back
00:16:23.06\00:16:26.00
in the day, in order to
receive forgiveness from
00:16:26.00\00:16:29.23
sin, they would bring this
offering to the tabernacle,
00:16:29.23\00:16:32.06
to the sanctuary, and the
sin bearer would place his
00:16:32.06\00:16:35.90
hand on the forehead of
the sin offering, that lamb.
00:16:35.90\00:16:39.96
Symbolically the sins
would be transferred from the
00:16:39.96\00:16:44.00
bearer to the offering.
00:16:44.00\00:16:45.30
The throat of the
offering would be split and slit
00:16:45.30\00:16:48.63
because blood would
have to come streaming down,
00:16:48.63\00:16:51.36
because remember there
can be no forgiveness of sin
00:16:51.36\00:16:53.90
without the shedding of blood.
00:16:53.90\00:16:56.06
They were looking forward
to the Jesus that was to come.
00:16:56.06\00:16:59.63
And so the lambs were
killed there in the daily
00:16:59.63\00:17:02.83
services of the sanctuary.
00:17:02.83\00:17:04.06
But I praise God today
that I don't have to go find a
00:17:04.06\00:17:10.10
goat, that I don't have to
go find a lamb, but because
00:17:10.10\00:17:15.73
Jesus came and died for
my sins, myself, I can go
00:17:15.73\00:17:19.60
boldly to the throne of grace.
00:17:19.60\00:17:23.26
I don't have to pray to
another man in the window.
00:17:23.26\00:17:26.03
I don't have to
tell another man my sins.
00:17:26.03\00:17:30.56
Are you hearing what I'm saying?
00:17:30.56\00:17:32.63
I don't have to confess
my sins to somebody else, but
00:17:32.63\00:17:34.93
I can boldly go to
the throne of grace.
00:17:34.93\00:17:37.76
Because if we confess
our sins, he is faithful and
00:17:37.76\00:17:41.70
just to forgive us of
our sins and cleanse us from
00:17:41.70\00:17:46.00
all unrighteousness.
00:17:46.00\00:17:47.90
I'm glad that while we
were yet sinners Christ died for
00:17:47.90\00:17:50.10
us.
00:17:50.10\00:17:51.20
I'm so glad that if any
man be in Christ he's a new
00:17:51.20\00:17:55.20
creature, old things
are passed away, behold, all
00:17:55.20\00:17:57.33
things become new.
00:17:57.33\00:17:59.96
I'm so glad that Jesus saves me.
00:17:59.96\00:18:01.63
I'm so glad that Jesus
went to Calvary for me and I'm
00:18:01.63\00:18:04.30
glad that Jesus is
coming back to get me.
00:18:04.30\00:18:07.23
What can wash away my sins?
00:18:07.23\00:18:12.16
Nothing but blood of Jesus.
00:18:12.16\00:18:14.30
What can make me whole again?
00:18:14.30\00:18:16.10
That's nothing but
the blood of Jesus.
00:18:16.10\00:18:18.60
That's why,
friends, Jesus had to come.
00:18:18.60\00:18:21.80
That's why he hung,
bled and died at his first
00:18:21.80\00:18:25.00
coming.
00:18:25.00\00:18:27.86
At his what coming, everybody?
00:18:27.86\00:18:30.16
(Aud: First coming.)
Jesus came to save his people.
00:18:30.16\00:18:35.90
Matthew 1:21 says: "And
she shall bring forth a son,
00:18:35.90\00:18:40.36
and thou shalt call his
name Jesus: for he shall
00:18:40.36\00:18:45.60
save his people from
their sins." At his first coming
00:18:45.60\00:18:50.53
Jesus came to save his people.
00:18:50.53\00:18:55.46
But at his second coming
Jesus is coming to get his
00:18:55.46\00:19:05.13
people.
00:19:05.13\00:19:07.10
O hallelujah, somebody.
00:19:07.10\00:19:08.63
Let not your heart be troubled.
00:19:08.63\00:19:10.26
I know we've got high
gas prices, but let not your
00:19:10.26\00:19:12.40
heart be troubled.
00:19:12.40\00:19:13.36
I know you've got bills
you don't have the money to pay
00:19:13.36\00:19:15.60
for, but let not
your heart be troubled.
00:19:15.60\00:19:18.03
Ye believe in God,
believe also in me.
00:19:18.03\00:19:19.93
." I go to
prepare a place for you .
00:19:19.93\00:19:24.53
"In my Father's house
are many mansions: if it were
00:19:24.53\00:19:25.96
not so, I would have
told you." I go and prepare a
00:19:25.96\00:19:29.16
place for you and if I
go and prepare a place for
00:19:29.16\00:19:30.96
you, I will come again
and receive you unto myself
00:19:30.96\00:19:34.10
that where I am
there ye may be also.
00:19:34.10\00:19:35.70
Thank God tonight for Jesus.
00:19:35.70\00:19:38.10
Thank God for the Lamb.
00:19:38.10\00:19:38.70
Because of the Lamb,
God's people are delivered.
00:19:38.70\00:19:40.63
Hallelujah, somebody.
00:19:40.63\00:19:41.56
Because Revelation
12:11 says: "And they overcame
00:19:41.56\00:19:44.83
him by the blood of the
Lamb, and by the word of
00:19:44.83\00:19:47.56
their testimony; and they
loved not their lives unto
00:19:47.56\00:19:51.20
the death." There comes a
time, and now that I'm getting
00:19:51.20\00:19:55.93
a little older I understand
it a little better now,
00:19:55.93\00:19:58.50
there comes a time
in your life that when
00:19:58.50\00:20:01.46
you get to know Jesus,
when you get into the very
00:20:01.46\00:20:04.96
presence of God, you'll
say, God, my house doesn't mean
00:20:04.96\00:20:09.80
anything to me now, my
car doesn't mean anything
00:20:09.80\00:20:15.73
to me now, my job
doesn't mean anything to me now,
00:20:15.73\00:20:20.40
the money I make
doesn't mean anything to me now.
00:20:20.40\00:20:24.06
The only thing that matters
is your presence, because
00:20:24.06\00:20:27.50
in your presence
there's fullness of joy and this
00:20:27.50\00:20:32.96
joy that I have.
00:20:32.96\00:20:34.46
You all can mean mug me if
you want, y'all didn't give
00:20:34.46\00:20:39.03
me this joy and
y'all can't take it away.
00:20:39.03\00:20:41.33
That's why I
praise him like I do.
00:20:41.33\00:20:45.30
And let me tell you something.
00:20:45.30\00:20:47.63
If praise and worship
is too long for you here,
00:20:47.63\00:20:50.76
and too loud for you here,
then I don't know what you're
00:20:50.76\00:20:54.50
going to do when we
praise him when we get there,
00:20:54.50\00:20:57.20
because when we all
get to heaven what a day of
00:20:57.20\00:21:02.20
rejoicing that's going to be.
00:21:02.20\00:21:04.26
When we all see Jesus,
we'll sing and shout the
00:21:04.26\00:21:09.33
victory.
00:21:09.33\00:21:10.23
I got to be like David,
I'm not going to bless the Lord
00:21:10.23\00:21:13.36
one time, but all times.
00:21:13.36\00:21:14.33
His praise shall
continually be in my mouth.
00:21:14.33\00:21:17.60
O magnify the Lord me
and let us exalt his name
00:21:17.60\00:21:20.13
together.
00:21:20.13\00:21:20.93
Make a joyful noise
unto the Lord all ye lands,
00:21:20.93\00:21:23.53
serve the Lord with gladness.
00:21:23.53\00:21:26.06
Bless the Lord, O my soul
and all that is within me,
00:21:26.06\00:21:28.20
bless his holy name.
00:21:28.20\00:21:29.13
O give thanks unto
the Lord for he is good.
00:21:29.13\00:21:31.06
Y'all not ready, but let
me tell you, who is Jesus?
00:21:31.06\00:21:34.83
Now, we read in the
text, in the beginning was the
00:21:34.83\00:21:39.53
Word, and the
Word was with whom?
00:21:39.53\00:21:43.56
God.
00:21:43.56\00:21:44.63
And the Word was whom?
00:21:44.63\00:21:45.70
God.
00:21:45.70\00:21:46.66
Jesus then is God.
00:21:46.66\00:21:48.00
The Word, Jesus,
is from the beginning.
00:21:48.00\00:21:53.50
In fact, he's the
beginner of the beginning.
00:21:53.50\00:21:56.90
Really, he's the
beginner in whom the beginning
00:21:56.90\00:22:00.83
began.
00:22:00.83\00:22:01.83
He's the beginning
before the beginning was even
00:22:01.83\00:22:05.76
begun.
00:22:05.76\00:22:07.86
Because he is the beginning
who did not begin to be.
00:22:07.86\00:22:10.30
You see, he did not
start because he had nowhere to
00:22:10.30\00:22:15.33
come from.
00:22:15.33\00:22:16.73
He does not stop
because he has no boundary line.
00:22:16.73\00:22:19.96
He doesn't have to look
around because his eyes are
00:22:19.96\00:22:22.60
in every place.
00:22:22.60\00:22:24.06
You see, he is older
than time, yet younger
00:22:24.06\00:22:28.16
than future.
00:22:28.16\00:22:29.53
He is what he
was, he was what he is,
00:22:29.53\00:22:33.50
and what he was and
is he will always be.
00:22:33.50\00:22:38.16
Jesus was always here.
00:22:38.16\00:22:42.00
Oh, I feel like preaching now.
00:22:42.00\00:22:43.96
He was always here,
always has been here, always was
00:22:43.96\00:22:48.13
and always is, for
even before Abraham was, he
00:22:48.13\00:22:52.50
said, I am.
00:22:52.50\00:23:00.43
What do we have here?
00:23:00.43\00:23:02.70
Jesus, who was born 2,000
years after Abraham, yet he
00:23:02.70\00:23:07.83
says he was before Abraham.
00:23:07.83\00:23:11.03
Jesus, who was David's
son was also David's Lord.
00:23:11.03\00:23:15.43
Jesus, who was Abraham's
seed was also Abraham's
00:23:15.43\00:23:19.16
savior.
00:23:19.16\00:23:20.06
Jesus, who created
flesh, became flesh when God
00:23:20.06\00:23:26.43
reversed the beginning,
when he took a motherless
00:23:26.43\00:23:29.40
woman from the body of a
man in creation, but then
00:23:29.40\00:23:31.93
turned around and took
a fatherless man from the
00:23:31.93\00:23:34.26
body of a woman in redemption.
00:23:34.26\00:23:39.70
(Applause, music)
Preach, Pastor Byrd.
00:23:39.70\00:23:48.00
I'm doing the best I can.
00:23:48.00\00:23:51.66
Jesus, he's the God Man.
00:23:51.66\00:23:55.30
Two natures in one personality.
00:23:55.30\00:23:58.70
He protected the
interests of heaven with his
00:23:58.70\00:24:01.13
divinity, but he looked
out for the interests of earth
00:24:01.13\00:24:03.40
with his humanity.
00:24:03.40\00:24:05.60
In his divinity he
is God's way to man.
00:24:05.60\00:24:08.70
In his humanity he is
man's way back on up to God.
00:24:08.70\00:24:12.40
Two natures harmonize
but never completely blended.
00:24:12.40\00:24:15.56
As man he got tired, but
as God he said, come unto me
00:24:15.56\00:24:18.43
all ye that labor and are
heavy laden and I will give
00:24:18.43\00:24:20.63
you rest.
00:24:20.63\00:24:21.43
As man he got hungry, but
as God he took two fish and
00:24:21.43\00:24:24.16
five loaves of
bread and fed the hungry.
00:24:24.16\00:24:27.70
As man he prayed, but
as God he answered prayer.
00:24:27.70\00:24:30.33
As man he got thirsty,
but as God he said, drink of
00:24:30.33\00:24:32.40
fountains of living
waters that shall never run dry.
00:24:32.40\00:24:35.90
As man he wanted
companionship, but as God
00:24:35.90\00:24:38.00
he had to tread
the wine press alone.
00:24:38.00\00:24:40.23
As man he wept at
Lazarus' grave, but as God he
00:24:40.23\00:24:48.13
resurrected
Lazarus from the grave.
00:24:48.13\00:24:53.93
Somebody knows
he's a mighty God.
00:24:53.93\00:24:56.73
His name is Jesus.
00:24:56.73\00:24:58.46
You don't believe me,
who do you know that can turn
00:24:58.46\00:25:01.73
water into wedding punch?
00:25:01.73\00:25:04.03
Who do you know that
can make an axe head float?
00:25:04.03\00:25:08.23
Who do you know that can
change rocks into rivers?
00:25:08.23\00:25:11.53
Who do you know that
can change sticks into
00:25:11.53\00:25:14.56
serpents?
00:25:14.56\00:25:15.56
Who do you know that
can make a donkey talk?
00:25:15.56\00:25:20.63
Who do you know that can
make the sun stand still?
00:25:20.63\00:25:24.30
Who do you know that
can stand in a fiery furnace
00:25:24.30\00:25:26.70
and not get burned?
00:25:26.70\00:25:28.50
Who do you know that can
lay down his life, but then
00:25:28.50\00:25:31.63
take his life back up again?
00:25:31.63\00:25:36.96
Somebody knows
his name is Jesus.
00:25:36.96\00:25:39.56
And that's why I worship him.
00:25:39.56\00:25:43.13
I said, that's
why I worship him.
00:25:43.13\00:25:46.33
That's why I praise him.
00:25:46.33\00:25:47.66
I wish I had some
worshipers in this place.
00:25:47.66\00:25:50.56
I wish I had some folk
that didn't mind praising the
00:25:50.56\00:25:52.23
name of Jesus.
00:25:52.23\00:25:53.23
Jesus, call his name.
00:25:53.23\00:25:56.33
Jesus, every day the same.
00:25:56.33\00:25:59.90
Jesus, when your
body is racking with pain.
00:25:59.90\00:26:03.63
In the midnight hour, Jesus.
00:26:03.63\00:26:06.06
When nobody understands, Jesus.
00:26:06.06\00:26:16.43
So in case you
didn't know, now you know.
00:26:16.43\00:26:18.66
I believe in Jesus.
00:26:18.66\00:26:25.13
And I believe that one
day soon and very soon, Jesus
00:26:25.13\00:26:30.83
is going to put an end to
this madness, and Jesus is
00:26:30.83\00:26:37.23
going to come back, he's
going to get you and you,
00:26:37.23\00:26:41.03
you, you, and me.
00:26:41.03\00:26:47.16
I shall get home some day.
