Sermon #B637 - John Saw You
00:00:06.77\00:00:21.82
Byrd: Revelation 7:9.
00:00:21.85\00:00:28.09
The Word of God says, “After
this I beheld, and, lo, a great
multitude,” [Congregation: Yes.]
00:00:28.12\00:00:38.53
“which no man could number."
00:00:38.57\00:00:42.00
"of all nations, and kindreds,
and people, and tongues, stood
before the throne, and before
00:00:42.04\00:00:46.94
the Lamb, clothed with white
robes, and palms in their hands;
00:00:46.98\00:00:53.35
And cried with a loud voice,
saying, Salvation to our God-
00:00:53.38\00:00:58.42
"-which sitteth upon the throne,
and unto the Lamb. And all the
angels stood round about the
00:00:58.45\00:01:05.03
throne, and about the elders and
the four beasts, and fell before
the throne on their faces,
00:01:05.06\00:01:08.53
and worshipped God, Saying,
Amen. Blessing, and glory, and
00:01:08.56\00:01:14.94
wisdom, and thanksgiving, and
honour, and power, and might, be
unto our God for ever and ever.
00:01:14.97\00:01:21.78
Amen." "And one of the elders
answered, saying unto me, What
are these which are arrayed in
00:01:21.81\00:01:30.39
white robes and whence came
they?" "And I said unto him,
00:01:30.42\00:01:35.26
Sir, thou knowest. And he said
to me, These are they which came
out of great tribulation, and
00:01:35.29\00:01:41.76
have washed their robes, and
made them white in the blood of
the Lamb.Therefore are they
00:01:41.80\00:01:47.37
before the throne of God, and
serve him day and night in his
temple: and he that sitteth on
00:01:47.40\00:01:56.41
the throne shall dwell among
them." "They shall hunger no
more, neither shall they thirst
00:01:56.44\00:02:05.65
anymore; neither shall the sun
light on them, nor on any heat.
For the Lamb which is in the
00:02:05.69\00:02:13.13
midst of the throne shall feed
them, and shall lead them unto
living fountains of waters: and
00:02:13.16\00:02:27.34
God shall wipe away all tears
from their eyes." Today, I just
want to challenge you in the
00:02:27.38\00:02:37.55
subject, “John saw you.”
[Congregation: Yes. Amen
[applause] Bless us now, God. As
00:02:37.59\00:02:44.56
we go into your word, make it
come alive and make it real and
applicable for our lives.
00:02:44.59\00:02:53.27
Forgive me of my sins. And may
your people see thee and not me.
When the appeal is made, moved
00:02:53.30\00:03:01.84
by your power. In Jesus name
we pray. Amen. [Congregation:
00:03:01.88\00:03:07.92
Hallelujah.] I don't know about
you, but out of all the five
senses: touch, taste, smell,
00:03:07.95\00:03:20.53
hearing, and sight. My sight is
most important to me. You see,
with our touch, we can feel.
00:03:20.56\00:03:29.84
But if I couldn't touch, I would
be all right, because I would
just keep my hands to myself.
00:03:29.87\00:03:36.14
[Congregation: Laughing.]
00:03:36.18\00:03:38.48
We taste with our tongue. But if
I couldn't taste, I would still
00:03:38.51\00:03:45.42
be all right because at
least I could still eat.
00:03:45.45\00:03:49.32
We smell with our nose.
[Congregation: Yes. Yes.]
00:03:49.36\00:03:53.09
But if I couldn't smell
that too would be all right,
00:03:53.13\00:03:55.60
because although I wouldn't be
able to smell good stuff, praise
00:03:55.63\00:03:59.20
God, I wouldn't be able to smell
bad stuff. [Congregation: Yes.
00:03:59.23\00:04:03.77
Yes.] We hear with our ears. But
if I couldn't hear, I would
still be all right,
00:04:03.81\00:04:09.08
because I would be able to
communicate through a nod,
through a smile, through a
00:04:09.11\00:04:13.95
frown, or through sign language.
But we see with our eyes.
00:04:13.98\00:04:22.16
And my eyes are most important
to me because there's nothing I
can substitute for my sight.
00:04:22.19\00:04:32.27
But more important than my sight
is John's sight. And what John
00:04:32.30\00:04:43.11
sees on pass. Because John's
sight lets me know what the end
is going to be. [Congregation:
