Thank you very much.
00:00:01.33\00:00:02.66
Well, we now go to a final
comment from each one of you.
00:00:02.70\00:00:04.03
Let's start with
Pastor James Rafferty.
00:00:04.07\00:00:06.10
Well, I was just thinking
about the question concerning
00:00:06.13\00:00:08.87
the cleansing of sin, you know,
00:00:08.90\00:00:11.41
not only that Jesus
took all of our sins,
00:00:11.44\00:00:13.68
the Lamb that takes
away the sins of the world,
00:00:13.74\00:00:15.44
but He wants to take away
our personal sins in our lives
00:00:15.48\00:00:17.95
now that we wrestle with.
00:00:17.98\00:00:19.65
And I thought
about that in relation
00:00:19.68\00:00:21.22
to Revelation Chapter 13,
and the mark of the beast,
00:00:21.25\00:00:24.39
and a time when
we can't buy or sell.
00:00:24.42\00:00:26.39
And sometimes we
look at that negatively,
00:00:26.42\00:00:27.76
but I think it's
going to be positive
00:00:27.79\00:00:29.22
if we look at it
from this perspective,
00:00:29.26\00:00:31.06
the inability for us
to be able to buy or sell
00:00:31.09\00:00:33.36
and engage in the commerce
of the world is actually going
00:00:33.40\00:00:36.93
to help us to overcome sin
because it's going to cut off
00:00:37.00\00:00:39.97
a lot of
temptations that we now face.
00:00:40.00\00:00:43.20
Thank you. Amen.
00:00:43.24\00:00:44.57
And speaking of the
eternal nature of Christ
00:00:44.61\00:00:46.27
before the world, you know,
Jesus even said in John 17:5,
00:00:46.31\00:00:50.78
"And now, O
Father, glorify Me together
00:00:50.81\00:00:53.08
with Yourself with the glory
00:00:53.11\00:00:54.92
which we had
before the world was."
00:00:54.95\00:00:58.02
And so, when you begin to
study the existence of Christ,
00:00:58.05\00:01:00.69
He's called the
Redeemer in the Old Testament,
00:01:00.76\00:01:02.92
and we know that
Redeemer is Christ,
00:01:02.96\00:01:04.99
as Revelation 5:9 says,
"Have redeemed us to God
00:01:05.03\00:01:08.06
by His blood."
00:01:08.10\00:01:09.43
So yeah, understand that Jesus,
00:01:09.46\00:01:11.47
He didn't just
come into the scene.
00:01:11.50\00:01:13.37
He couldn't be created
00:01:13.40\00:01:14.74
or He could not redeem creation.
00:01:14.77\00:01:16.74
Creation cannot redeem creation.
00:01:16.77\00:01:19.37
Thank you. Amen. Amen.
00:01:19.41\00:01:20.74
You know, I read
1 John 1:9 earlier,
00:01:20.81\00:01:22.84
"If we confess our
sins, He's faithful
00:01:22.88\00:01:24.28
and just to forgive us
our sins and to cleanse us
00:01:24.31\00:01:26.85
from all unrighteousness."
00:01:26.88\00:01:28.42
You know, why in
the world should we die
00:01:28.45\00:01:30.12
for our sins when Jesus
has already died for them?
00:01:30.15\00:01:32.45
Salvation is free
and it takes a person
00:01:32.49\00:01:35.16
who's completely lost their mind
00:01:35.19\00:01:36.76
not to be able to
partake of that free gift.
00:01:36.79\00:01:38.79
So I encourage you, my friends,
00:01:38.83\00:01:40.36
give your heart to Jesus today.
00:01:40.43\00:01:41.73
The purpose of this program
00:01:41.76\00:01:43.10
is not just to
throw out information,
00:01:43.13\00:01:44.87
but that we may all be
drawn to our loving Savior,
00:01:44.90\00:01:47.44
Jesus Christ.
00:01:47.47\00:01:48.80
Thank you to each
and every one of you,
00:01:48.84\00:01:50.21
and thank you for joining us.
00:01:50.24\00:01:51.57
Thank you for
sending in your questions.
00:01:51.61\00:01:52.94
I leave you with
2 Timothy 3:16-17,
00:01:52.97\00:01:56.88
"All scripture is
given by inspiration of God,
00:01:56.95\00:01:59.95
and is profitable for doctrine,
for reproof, for correction,
00:02:00.08\00:02:04.05
for instruction
in righteousness:
00:02:04.12\00:02:05.92
that the man of
God may be complete,
00:02:05.95\00:02:08.12
thoroughly equipped
for every good work."
00:02:08.16\00:02:10.89
God bless you.
