Can you believe it?
00:00:02.13\00:00:03.65
Can you build your faith on it?
00:00:05.19\00:00:06.84
The promises of
God's Word are sure.
00:00:08.74\00:00:12.20
They do not fail.
00:00:12.30\00:00:15.06
This book has
stood the test of time.
00:00:17.34\00:00:21.06
Tonight we're going to
take a look at the subject
00:00:30.67\00:00:34.14
Why Don't They
Just Tell The Truth?
00:00:34.44\00:00:37.58
Why Don't They
Just Tell The Truth?
00:00:37.88\00:00:40.99
We hope that that
will be a subject that will
00:00:41.29\00:00:44.28
help you understand
your relationship to God.
00:00:44.48\00:00:48.26
Help you as you
walk with Him day by day.
00:00:48.66\00:00:51.51
And I'm sure that you'll
be blessed in a special way
00:00:51.81\00:00:55.19
if you follow
carefully as we talk about
00:00:55.39\00:00:56.91
Why Don't They
Just Tell The Truth?
00:00:57.11\00:00:59.00
You see, when you take
a look at this old world
00:00:59.30\00:01:03.55
and all the things around us
00:01:03.85\00:01:06.71
and all the things that
clamor for our attention,
00:01:07.01\00:01:09.43
let me tell you
friend, there's only one person
00:01:09.73\00:01:13.78
that can satisfy your soul.
00:01:14.08\00:01:16.07
Things of this
world won't do it.
00:01:16.47\00:01:18.99
Education won't do it.
00:01:19.29\00:01:21.71
Only Jesus can
satisfy your soul.
00:01:22.02\00:01:26.43
Listen as Pam and Jimmy Rhodes
bring us that beautiful song.
00:01:26.73\00:01:31.00
This world will try to satisfy
00:01:41.75\00:01:47.26
that longing in your soul.
00:01:48.03\00:01:53.44
You may search
this wide world o'er...
00:01:53.84\00:01:58.02
but you'll be just as before.
00:01:58.32\00:02:03.12
You'll never
find true satisfaction
00:02:03.42\00:02:07.69
until you find the Lord.
00:02:08.09\00:02:12.89
Only Jesus
00:02:13.29\00:02:16.39
can satisfy your soul.
00:02:16.69\00:02:22.40
Only Jesus
00:02:23.00\00:02:26.84
can satisfy your soul.
00:02:27.24\00:02:32.48
Only He can take your life
00:02:33.08\00:02:37.95
and make it whole.
00:02:38.35\00:02:42.21
He'll give you
peace you never knew,
00:02:42.61\00:02:47.06
Sweet love and joy,
00:02:47.46\00:02:49.65
and Heaven too;
00:02:50.05\00:02:52.70
Only Jesus
00:02:53.30\00:02:55.83
can satisfy your soul!
00:02:56.24\00:03:02.03
If you could
have fame and fortune,
00:03:02.63\00:03:07.66
and all the
wealth you could obtain.
00:03:08.06\00:03:12.39
Yet if you didn't have my Jesus
00:03:12.79\00:03:16.37
you see, your
living would be in vain.
00:03:16.77\00:03:21.51
There's going to
come a day when death
00:03:21.91\00:03:25.42
will call you,
riches will not help you,
00:03:25.82\00:03:30.77
Come to Jesus...
00:03:31.17\00:03:34.28
only He will satisfy.
00:03:34.69\00:03:39.86
Only Jesus
00:03:40.85\00:03:44.41
can satisfy your soul;
00:03:44.81\00:03:50.15
Only He can take your life
00:03:50.55\00:03:55.22
and make it whole.
00:03:55.63\00:03:59.39
He'll give you
peace you never knew,
00:03:59.99\00:04:04.26
Sweet love and joy,
00:04:04.66\00:04:06.91
and Heaven too;
00:04:07.31\00:04:09.96
Only Jesus
00:04:10.36\00:04:13.06
can satisfy your soul!
00:04:13.47\00:04:18.93
Only Jesus
00:04:27.23\00:04:30.59
can satisfy your soul;
00:04:30.99\00:04:36.10
Only He can take your life
00:04:36.83\00:04:41.69
and make it whole.
00:04:42.09\00:04:45.99
He'll give you
peace you never knew,
00:04:46.59\00:04:51.03
sweet love and
joy, and Heaven too;
00:04:51.43\00:04:56.19
Only Jesus
00:04:56.59\00:05:00.01
can satisfy
00:05:00.41\00:05:04.48
your soul!
00:05:04.98\00:05:10.98
Heavenly Father, tonight
00:05:26.10\00:05:27.71
we just simply come to You
00:05:29.53\00:05:31.73
asking that You
will fulfill Your Word
00:05:32.13\00:05:36.26
that says that the Holy Spirit
00:05:36.66\00:05:39.18
will lead and
guide us into all truth.
00:05:39.48\00:05:42.38
Bless us tonight.
00:05:43.67\00:05:45.66
We ask that our
hearts may be open,
00:05:46.06\00:05:48.24
the Holy Spirit may have access,
00:05:48.64\00:05:51.69
and that each one of
us may see and understand
00:05:51.99\00:05:55.13
the relationship that
Jesus desires to have with us
00:05:55.43\00:05:59.49
and that we all might rejoice
00:05:59.90\00:06:02.57
in the salvation
that we have in Him.
00:06:02.88\00:06:05.79
For this we ask in
Christ's name, Amen.
00:06:06.19\00:06:10.18
We live in an age...
00:06:17.91\00:06:20.05
we live in an age
00:06:20.46\00:06:23.13
in which there is not
00:06:23.43\00:06:25.38
a great lot of emphasis placed
00:06:25.68\00:06:29.02
on telling the truth.
00:06:29.32\00:06:31.03
In fact, I'm
sure that all of you
00:06:31.33\00:06:34.14
at some time or another
have been in an airport.
00:06:34.25\00:06:39.47
And you had a plane to catch.
00:06:39.77\00:06:43.56
And some reason
the plane is delayed
00:06:43.96\00:06:48.66
and you have been
told all kinds of things
00:06:48.96\00:06:52.88
other than what
was actually the truth.
00:06:53.18\00:06:55.99
Sat on the runway
for two or three hours
00:06:56.29\00:07:00.01
and they tell you:
"Well, there's just bad weather
00:07:00.21\00:07:01.95
or something somewhere.
" But it'd just be great
00:07:02.15\00:07:05.35
if we were just told the truth.
00:07:05.56\00:07:07.96
Seems that there's
not a great emphasis
00:07:08.26\00:07:11.74
on telling the truth.
00:07:11.94\00:07:13.59
Such as... this one:
00:07:13.89\00:07:15.87
You know?
00:07:20.06\00:07:21.10
Why don't we - you
know - state the truth?
00:07:21.40\00:07:25.26
Or even in advertising
00:07:25.66\00:07:28.61
when they put
advertising and they tell you:
00:07:28.91\00:07:31.16
"Oh, cigarettes
won't hurt you. "
00:07:31.46\00:07:34.22
No, they won't hurt
you... they'll kill you!
00:07:34.52\00:07:37.27
OK? We don't put much emphasis
00:07:37.57\00:07:42.53
on telling the
truth, and yet the Lord
00:07:42.83\00:07:44.76
puts great interest
on telling the truth.
00:07:45.06\00:07:48.74
Makes it extremely important
that we know the truth.
00:07:48.94\00:07:52.34
The scripture tells us here
in John 8 verse 32, it says:
00:07:52.64\00:07:57.00
So the scripture says
that if you know the truth
00:08:02.59\00:08:04.97
the truth is what
will set you free, friends.
00:08:05.27\00:08:08.59
And I can assure you
that is absolutely true.
00:08:08.89\00:08:12.74
To know the truth
will set you free.
00:08:13.04\00:08:16.92
That's what the Lord
wants to do for you and I.
00:08:17.22\00:08:19.41
And he has given us certain ways
00:08:19.62\00:08:22.38
by which we can know the truth.
00:08:22.58\00:08:25.06
The scripture has
laid it out very clear.
00:08:25.36\00:08:27.75
We don't have to be in
doubt as to what the truth is.
00:08:28.05\00:08:30.68
Jesus said in John 14 verse 6:
00:08:30.98\00:08:33.90
So Jesus said He is "the
way, the truth, and the life. "
00:08:46.00\00:08:50.31
And if you want to know truth -
00:08:50.61\00:08:53.48
if you want to know truth -
then look at the life of Jesus
00:08:53.79\00:08:57.92
because His life is truth
00:08:58.22\00:09:00.91
and in Him you can find truth.
00:09:01.11\00:09:02.71
It also says in
John 17:17... it says:
00:09:03.01\00:09:06.96
So dear friend,
this book is truth.
00:09:12.81\00:09:15.76
And when I say it's
truth, it is not relative truth
00:09:16.06\00:09:21.07
it is absolute truth.
00:09:21.37\00:09:23.33
From cover to cover
in this book is truth
00:09:23.63\00:09:26.85
in every respect of the Word.
00:09:27.15\00:09:29.50
There's some people
that don't understand it
00:09:29.80\00:09:33.47
and they wrestle with it
and they have a hard time
00:09:33.77\00:09:36.87
understanding God's Word.
00:09:37.07\00:09:38.51
There's a reason for that.
00:09:38.81\00:09:40.13
And let me tell you
what that reason is.
00:09:40.43\00:09:42.17
This book - this
book here - will harmonize
00:09:42.47\00:09:46.28
all the way through.
00:09:46.48\00:09:48.33
There are people that
never understand the truth
00:09:48.63\00:09:52.49
because they try to
build a belief on one text.
00:09:52.79\00:09:56.55
You cannot build a
belief on one text.
00:09:56.85\00:10:00.95
You can't be like the fellow...
00:10:01.25\00:10:02.85
His... his way of trying to
find inspiration for the day
00:10:03.05\00:10:07.95
was he would get up in
the morning and he would take
00:10:08.25\00:10:10.17
his Bible and let it fall open
00:10:10.37\00:10:11.88
and the first
text his eyes fell on
00:10:12.18\00:10:14.51
well that was his
inspiration for the day.
00:10:14.81\00:10:16.67
And so this
particular morning he got up,
00:10:16.97\00:10:19.42
opened his Bible up.
First text his eyes fell on
00:10:19.72\00:10:22.88
said "Judas went
and hung himself. "
00:10:23.19\00:10:25.13
You know, wasn't... wasn't
really very inspirational.
00:10:25.43\00:10:30.34
So he closed his Bible up
and let it fall open again.
00:10:30.55\00:10:32.76
And he looked at it and it
said "Go do thou likewise. "
00:10:32.96\00:10:35.46
You see, you don't
build a belief on one text.
00:10:35.76\00:10:39.46
Doesn't work that way.
00:10:39.76\00:10:41.15
And people who... many times
never understand the Word of God
00:10:41.45\00:10:45.10
because they build a
belief on one scripture.
00:10:45.31\00:10:48.70
You can't do that.
00:10:48.90\00:10:50.01
Secondly, Paul and
Moses will never disagree.
00:10:50.11\00:10:55.37
Never.
00:10:55.67\00:10:58.02
Moses and Matthew
will never disagree.
00:10:58.32\00:11:02.65
Daniel and John
will never disagree.
00:11:02.95\00:11:06.77
That Bible will harmonize
from Genesis to Revelation.
00:11:07.07\00:11:10.66
Therefore, if you read something
over here in the Old Testament
00:11:10.96\00:11:14.91
and it doesn't
harmonize with what's taught
00:11:15.21\00:11:17.68
in the New Testament,
00:11:17.88\00:11:19.28
then, dear friend,
you need to keep studying.
00:11:19.48\00:11:22.06
Follow me? You
need to keep looking
00:11:22.36\00:11:25.31
and it will
harmonize all the way through.
00:11:25.61\00:11:28.35
Those are principles
in understanding truth.
00:11:28.65\00:11:31.76
It also says in the 119th Psalm
00:11:32.06\00:11:36.27
verse 142, it says:
00:11:36.57\00:11:39.90
In other words, the
law of God is truth.
00:11:48.94\00:11:51.74
So tonight, if you
want to know what truth is,
00:11:52.04\00:11:55.42
if you want to
see what truth is,
00:11:55.72\00:11:57.64
then look at Jesus
Christ, study the scripture,
00:11:57.94\00:12:01.86
and look at God's law.
00:12:02.16\00:12:03.76
And in those three
things you will find truth.
00:12:04.06\00:12:07.26
No question about it.
00:12:07.46\00:12:08.88
And the Bible says the
Holy Spirit will lead you
00:12:09.18\00:12:11.64
into truth. It will guide
you and lead you into exactly
00:12:11.84\00:12:14.84
what truth is.
00:12:15.04\00:12:16.29
So tonight we want to
look at what the scripture says
00:12:16.59\00:12:19.83
about truth.
00:12:20.03\00:12:21.26
There are three
very, very special words
00:12:21.46\00:12:26.15
in the scripture.
00:12:26.45\00:12:27.65
Three words that you
need to put down in your mind
00:12:27.95\00:12:31.78
that have very,
very special meaning.
00:12:31.98\00:12:35.08
One of those words
is the word hallowed.
00:12:35.38\00:12:38.89
That word is not used
very often in scripture.
00:12:39.19\00:12:43.45
In fact, that word is used
only 22 times in the Bible.
00:12:43.75\00:12:47.90
When it says hallowed,
what does that word mean?
00:12:48.20\00:12:52.88
It means to make something holy.
00:12:53.18\00:12:56.68
OK. Remember what it says here
00:12:56.98\00:12:59.62
Matthew 6 verse 9:
00:12:59.73\00:13:02.46
Holy, holy is Your name.
00:13:09.64\00:13:12.47
That's what it's saying:
"Hallowed is Your name. "
00:13:12.67\00:13:15.69
So that means
something that's made holy.
00:13:15.99\00:13:18.23
Do you know what
makes something holy folks?
00:13:18.53\00:13:20.77
Do you know what
makes something holy?
00:13:21.07\00:13:22.82
Well do you remember the
time when Moses was up on
00:13:23.22\00:13:26.26
the mountain he
saw this bush burning?
00:13:26.36\00:13:28.35
And you remember
he got close to it
00:13:28.65\00:13:30.85
and the voice said:
"Moses, take off your shoes
00:13:31.05\00:13:34.42
because the ground
you're standing on is holy. "
00:13:34.62\00:13:38.33
What made that ground holy?
00:13:38.63\00:13:41.00
The presence of God.
00:13:41.30\00:13:43.23
That's what
makes something holy.
00:13:43.43\00:13:45.28
So He said make sure that you
understand that that is special.
00:13:45.58\00:13:49.86
It's holy to God.
00:13:50.16\00:13:51.64
The other word is sanctified.
00:13:51.84\00:13:54.12
That word sanctified is
used 40 times in the Bible.
00:13:54.42\00:13:59.00
The word sanctified
has a very special meaning.
00:13:59.30\00:14:03.78
And it says in John 17 verse 19:
00:14:04.08\00:14:06.94
The word sanctified
simply means to be set apart
00:14:15.19\00:14:19.89
for sacred purpose.
00:14:20.09\00:14:22.21
That's what the
word sanctified means.
00:14:22.41\00:14:24.25
It means that
object - that person -
00:14:24.45\00:14:27.35
has been set apart
for a sacred purpose.
00:14:27.55\00:14:31.38
Timothy talks about it.
00:14:32.63\00:14:34.93
That means set
apart... he's a vessel of honor.
00:14:49.12\00:14:52.09
Set apart for what?
00:14:52.39\00:14:54.69
Huh? Set apart
for the Master's use.
00:14:54.99\00:14:58.83
That's what he's set apart for.
00:14:59.14\00:15:00.72
"And useful for the Master,
prepared for every good work. "
00:15:01.02\00:15:04.38
So when He uses
that word sanctified,
00:15:04.68\00:15:07.03
it means that
has been set apart.
00:15:07.33\00:15:10.49
OK. The other word is blessed.
00:15:11.90\00:15:14.61
Now that word blessed
is used numbers of times.
00:15:14.91\00:15:18.41
It's used 307
times in the Bible...
00:15:18.61\00:15:20.91
uses the word blessed.
00:15:21.29\00:15:22.57
And that word means that
God has put a special blessing
00:15:22.67\00:15:27.60
on something. And
I'll give you an example
00:15:27.80\00:15:31.04
when it talks about a
blessing that God has put on it.
00:15:31.24\00:15:34.25
You remember the case of Joseph?
00:15:34.55\00:15:36.24
You remember he was sold
00:15:36.54\00:15:39.63
to the caravan of
Ishmaelite that bought him.
00:15:39.93\00:15:44.99
Sold him, and they
put him on the auction
00:15:45.29\00:15:47.72
and you remember
Potiphar bought him.
00:15:47.92\00:15:50.73
Remember that?
00:15:51.03\00:15:52.11
You want to see what
happened because of Joseph?
00:15:52.42\00:15:55.18
This is what the
scripture says happened:
00:15:55.48\00:15:57.00
Potiphar took him, made
him overseer of his house
00:16:06.63\00:16:09.57
because Joseph was very faithful
00:16:09.88\00:16:11.90
and a very good
worker. All right?
00:16:12.20\00:16:14.40
Well what does
it mean when it says
00:16:25.69\00:16:27.42
"He blessed his house? "
00:16:27.62\00:16:30.38
Huh? What did that mean?
What did that do for Potiphar?
00:16:30.68\00:16:33.61
Nothing?
00:16:35.22\00:16:37.62
Didn't do anything for him?
00:16:37.92\00:16:39.16
Or did it do something for him?
00:16:39.46\00:16:41.77
You'd better believe
it did something for him.
00:16:42.07\00:16:44.65
It meant he prospered.
He prospered wonderfully
00:16:49.55\00:16:53.62
because God blessed it.
00:16:53.83\00:16:56.24
OK. So when God says
something is hallowed,
00:16:56.54\00:17:00.34
something is sanctified,
and something is blessed,
00:17:00.64\00:17:03.90
you'd better believe
that has special meaning.
00:17:04.20\00:17:06.51
And when God
blesses something, folks,
00:17:06.81\00:17:09.09
it doesn't change. Watch:
00:17:09.39\00:17:11.13
So I mean, he said:
"You blessed it, Lord.
00:17:31.22\00:17:33.93
It will be blessed forever. "
00:17:34.13\00:17:36.67
There are not very
many places in the scripture
00:17:36.97\00:17:40.88
where it uses all three words
00:17:41.18\00:17:45.32
for something.
00:17:45.62\00:17:47.16
Now I know of one
place in the scripture
00:17:47.46\00:17:50.04
where it uses two words.
00:17:50.34\00:17:52.36
You can find it in
the book of Revelation
00:17:52.86\00:17:55.43
where it speaks of two
words. Revelation 20 verse 6:
00:17:55.73\00:17:58.40
So the scripture says
that these people are blessed
00:18:14.07\00:18:17.12
and they're holy.
00:18:17.32\00:18:19.46
OK?
00:18:19.76\00:18:21.16
Now friends, I know of
only one place in scripture
00:18:22.36\00:18:27.36
that it uses all three of those.
00:18:27.46\00:18:31.78
Only one place where it applies
00:18:32.08\00:18:34.44
blessed,
hallowed, and sanctified
00:18:34.74\00:18:38.34
to one particular thing.
00:18:38.65\00:18:41.28
Look at it with me, and
let me tell you something.
00:18:41.58\00:18:43.16
When God says:
"Listen, this is blessed,
00:18:43.36\00:18:46.51
this is hallowed,
this is sanctified, "
00:18:46.81\00:18:49.29
you'd better put it down.
00:18:49.59\00:18:51.98
And you'd better
put it down for sure
00:18:52.28\00:18:54.26
that that is special to God!
00:18:54.56\00:18:57.12
OK? Listen carefully:
00:18:57.42\00:18:59.57
All right, now
this is God speaking.
00:19:19.29\00:19:21.62
God blessed and
sanctified the seventh day.
00:19:21.92\00:19:27.14
Let's continue on.
00:19:33.23\00:19:34.50
So here it's
talked about the Sabbath
00:19:39.60\00:19:41.74
and it says it is blessed,
00:19:41.94\00:19:44.04
it is hallowed,
00:19:44.35\00:19:46.01
it is sanctified.
00:19:46.32\00:19:48.30
I don't find anything
else in the Word of God
00:19:48.60\00:19:53.10
that it gives
those three words to.
00:19:53.30\00:19:56.17
And when you and I
take that particular day
00:19:56.47\00:19:59.99
that God said:
"Listen, I'm blessing this day.
00:20:00.29\00:20:02.44
I'm hallowing this day,
I'm sanctifying this day"
00:20:02.64\00:20:05.02
and attach no importance to it,
00:20:05.32\00:20:08.41
then dear friend, let me
tell you something... God does!
00:20:08.61\00:20:11.39
God places great
importance upon that day.
00:20:11.69\00:20:16.72
I mean that day, as
far as God is concerned,
00:20:58.67\00:21:03.29
is special. It
has been sanctified.
00:21:03.59\00:21:07.41
That means it
has been set apart.
00:21:07.61\00:21:10.54
It has been hallowed.
00:21:10.84\00:21:13.03
That means God's
presence is in that day
00:21:13.23\00:21:16.67
and it has been blessed.
00:21:16.97\00:21:18.46
And it means that
God will prosper you
00:21:18.76\00:21:22.08
if you will
follow Him in keeping it.
00:21:22.38\00:21:24.68
That's what it means.
00:21:24.98\00:21:26.65
And God will not fail.
00:21:26.95\00:21:30.00
Never! Because He
took that day and He said
00:21:30.10\00:21:33.14
"it has very, very
special meaning to Me. "
00:21:33.34\00:21:38.30
You see, if
it's been sanctified,
00:21:39.53\00:21:41.68
it's been hallowed,
00:21:42.79\00:21:44.24
it's been blessed,
00:21:44.55\00:21:46.38
it's been set
aside for sacred use.
00:21:46.68\00:21:49.62
That's what it's set aside for.
00:21:49.92\00:21:51.76
And God expects
you and He expects me
00:21:52.06\00:21:56.14
to use it for sacred use.
00:21:56.44\00:21:59.12
You say: "Does it
make any difference?
00:21:59.42\00:22:02.08
Does it really make
any difference whether I do
00:22:02.38\00:22:04.86
or whether I don't? "
00:22:05.06\00:22:06.60
I want you to listen to
something and you decide
00:22:06.90\00:22:09.41
whether it really
makes any difference or not.
00:22:09.71\00:22:12.25
Jerusalem... you're
looking at Jerusalem.
00:22:12.46\00:22:15.81
You're seeing
the Dome of the Rock.
00:22:16.11\00:22:19.26
Listen to what
the scripture says
00:22:19.56\00:22:21.52
in relation to this
question of the Sabbath.
00:22:21.73\00:22:24.44
Listen. I'm talking
about the Jewish nation.
00:22:24.74\00:22:27.57
I'm talking about Jerusalem.
00:22:27.77\00:22:29.62
I'm talking about this city
in relationship to the Sabbath.
00:22:29.82\00:22:33.97
Now this is God's
instruction to them.
00:23:01.36\00:23:03.06
He said: "Listen, take
the Sabbath... set it aside.
00:23:03.26\00:23:07.78
Don't carry a
burden on the Sabbath.
00:23:08.08\00:23:10.00
Don't work on the Sabbath.
00:23:10.30\00:23:11.75
As I have told your
forefathers, hallow it. "
00:23:12.05\00:23:15.13
You want to see
what would have happened
00:23:16.33\00:23:18.22
if they would have done that?
00:23:18.42\00:23:19.52
I'm talking about does
it carry any consequences.
00:23:21.22\00:23:24.42
If I do it, what
difference would it have made?
00:23:24.72\00:23:28.69
They said: "No, we're
not going to do this. "
00:23:43.78\00:23:46.54
What would have
happened if they would have?
00:23:48.16\00:23:50.61
This is what would have
happened if they would have:
00:23:52.21\00:23:54.16
Listen carefully.
00:23:56.85\00:23:58.76
Then this is what
would have happened...
00:24:15.12\00:24:17.16
Listen, folks.
00:24:37.09\00:24:38.41
I can tell you, dear friends,
00:24:49.61\00:24:52.74
when God blesses and God hallows
00:24:53.05\00:24:56.99
and God sanctifies something,
00:24:57.29\00:24:59.55
you better believe that is
tremendously important to God.
00:24:59.85\00:25:04.63
And He says: "Listen, I
will bless you marvelously
00:25:04.93\00:25:08.65
if you will follow what I say.
00:25:08.76\00:25:11.16
If you'll just do what
I say, I'll care for you.
00:25:11.46\00:25:14.35
I'll bless you
in a special way. "
00:25:14.65\00:25:17.18
Blessed: we found
out that blessing means
00:25:17.48\00:25:20.65
God would prosper you, right?
00:25:20.85\00:25:22.29
God said: "You
want to be blessed?
00:25:35.47\00:25:38.68
You want God to care for you
and bless you in a special way?
00:25:39.08\00:25:43.75
Then be faithful in
keeping the Sabbath. "
00:25:44.05\00:25:47.42
That's what He's telling you.
00:25:47.72\00:25:49.43
It makes a great
difference to Him.
00:25:49.73\00:25:52.49
Why? Because Jesus... Jesus says
00:25:52.99\00:25:58.98
that He - HE - is
the Lord of the Sabbath.
00:25:59.28\00:26:04.85
Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath.
00:26:15.09\00:26:17.05
Why would Jesus be
Lord of the Sabbath?
00:26:17.36\00:26:19.99
Why? Why would it say
that He, Jesus Christ,
00:26:20.29\00:26:24.14
is Lord of the Sabbath?
00:26:24.34\00:26:26.30
When I first gave my
heart to Jesus Christ -
00:26:27.58\00:26:30.22
accepted Him as my Savior -
00:26:30.52\00:26:32.64
and I began to pick
up the Bible and read it,
00:26:32.94\00:26:35.90
I came across something.
And when I came across that
00:26:36.40\00:26:41.95
and began to understand
it, the whole Bible just began
00:26:42.15\00:26:44.97
to open up like a new book
00:26:45.17\00:26:46.79
and I began to understanding
things I had never seen before.
00:26:47.09\00:26:49.86
I want to share
just a few texts with you
00:26:50.16\00:26:52.03
because it has to do with
Jesus being Lord of the Sabbath.
00:26:52.23\00:26:55.13
It says:
00:26:55.53\00:26:56.90
All things were made
through Jesus Christ.
00:27:19.37\00:27:25.31
Are you with me? That's
what the text is saying.
00:27:25.61\00:27:27.86
So Jesus Christ,
the scripture says,
00:27:45.06\00:27:47.26
is the One that
created this world.
00:27:47.56\00:27:48.88
He's the One that made it.
00:27:49.08\00:27:50.60
Let me give you a
couple other texts about that.
00:27:50.91\00:27:53.10
So the scripture
says clearly that Jesus
00:28:18.32\00:28:20.94
was the One
that made the worlds.
00:28:21.14\00:28:23.26
Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
00:28:23.46\00:28:25.33
One more text...
00:28:25.36\00:28:26.43
So Jesus Christ is the
One who made this world.
00:28:51.97\00:28:56.80
All right. Now apply
what you've just learned.
00:28:57.10\00:29:00.00
Genesis 2 verse 1 says:
00:29:00.30\00:29:03.83
Is that talking
about God the Father
00:29:14.78\00:29:18.23
or God the Son or
God the Holy Spirit?
00:29:18.53\00:29:21.65
Who created the world?
00:29:21.95\00:29:25.24
Jesus Christ. Therefore, it is
Jesus that created this world.
00:29:25.55\00:29:29.65
Therefore, it was Jesus
Christ that gave the Sabbath
00:29:29.85\00:29:33.64
because He is the One that
rested and gave the Sabbath.
00:29:33.94\00:29:38.08
So that's the reason
it says that Jesus is Lord
00:29:38.38\00:29:42.10
of the Sabbath.
00:29:42.30\00:29:43.38
So Jesus Christ is the
One that said: "Listen,
00:29:51.13\00:29:54.07
I created this
world... made it all.
00:29:54.37\00:29:58.53
And for you to
remember... for you to remember
00:29:58.73\00:30:03.19
that I'm the One
that made the world,
00:30:03.49\00:30:05.94
I'm the One that made you...
00:30:06.24\00:30:08.70
I'm taking this day
and I'm sanctifying it,
00:30:09.00\00:30:12.72
and I'm making it
holy, and I'm blessing it
00:30:13.02\00:30:16.02
so you will remember that
I'm the One that made this world
00:30:16.32\00:30:20.53
and I created you. "
00:30:20.83\00:30:22.20
That's what God is telling you.
00:30:22.50\00:30:24.01
That's what God is
saying to you, dear friend.
00:30:24.21\00:30:26.80
He's the One that made us.
00:30:27.11\00:30:28.57
Therefore when you and I
take a look at this question
00:30:28.87\00:30:32.31
it says:
00:30:32.51\00:30:33.48
Jesus Christ
rested from all of that.
00:30:37.05\00:30:39.73
Now, OK...
00:30:48.31\00:30:50.04
He said to you and to
me, Jesus is talking...
00:30:51.56\00:30:55.06
It says here in Mark 2:27:
00:30:55.36\00:30:57.90
Well what He was saying...
He said: "I made that Sabbath
00:31:07.33\00:31:10.68
to be a blessing to you.
" That's what Jesus said.
00:31:10.88\00:31:14.15
He said: "Listen, I'm making
that Sabbath to be a blessing
00:31:14.36\00:31:17.32
to you. " And let
me tell you tonight:
00:31:17.52\00:31:19.26
if you keep it, if
you follow the Lord
00:31:19.56\00:31:23.74
and keep the Sabbath,
He promises in this book
00:31:24.04\00:31:26.70
and He won't
fail... He will not fail.
00:31:27.00\00:31:30.34
He promises in this
book that He will bless you.
00:31:30.37\00:31:33.42
Promises that.
00:31:33.62\00:31:35.49
That if you will just follow
Him and keep His Sabbath...
00:31:35.80\00:31:40.35
But He made the Sabbath to
be a blessing to you and to me.
00:31:40.65\00:31:45.62
He made it as a day of rest.
00:31:45.92\00:31:49.03
A day in which
you and I are to rest
00:31:50.37\00:31:54.45
from physical labor.
00:31:54.65\00:31:56.92
So God rested and was refreshed.
00:32:07.35\00:32:09.63
He made it as a day in
which you and I are to cease
00:32:09.83\00:32:14.51
physical labor.
00:32:14.71\00:32:17.10
God says "Don't labor on
the Sabbath. You are to rest. "
00:32:17.40\00:32:23.19
So the Lord says: "I want
you to take that seventh day
00:32:36.43\00:32:39.84
and I want you to set it aside.
It is to be a day of rest.
00:32:40.14\00:32:44.26
Physical rest. "
00:32:44.56\00:32:45.73
Not only that, dear friend,
00:32:46.03\00:32:48.66
it's to be a day
of spiritual rest.
00:32:48.96\00:32:53.14
You say: "What do you
mean spiritual rest? "
00:32:55.01\00:32:56.94
Well, let me tell you something.
I know some people who
00:32:57.24\00:33:02.34
keep... well, I shouldn't
say they keep the Sabbath.
00:33:02.54\00:33:05.35
They think they
keep the Sabbath...
00:33:05.55\00:33:07.67
let's put it that way.
00:33:07.87\00:33:08.91
Because I know some
people who, when it gets close
00:33:09.21\00:33:13.40
to the time of the Sabbath
00:33:13.61\00:33:14.71
they try to get ready
for the Sabbath, you know?
00:33:14.91\00:33:16.81
You know what I'm talking about?
00:33:17.11\00:33:18.40
They're going to
get their house clean
00:33:18.70\00:33:20.84
and all the dishes done
and all this kind of stuff.
00:33:21.04\00:33:23.65
And they go after that
and they get all that done
00:33:23.95\00:33:26.66
and by the time
the Sabbath comes,
00:33:26.86\00:33:28.52
nobody can live with
them they're so out of sorts.
00:33:28.72\00:33:31.35
That's not Sabbath-keeping...
you want to understand me?
00:33:31.65\00:33:34.14
That's not the way you keep it.
00:33:34.44\00:33:35.90
Yes, I need to get
ready for the Sabbath...
00:33:36.21\00:33:38.66
but I must get
ready spiritually.
00:33:38.86\00:33:42.08
I must get ready spiritually.
00:33:42.38\00:33:45.45
Let me tell you a
little bit of what's involved
00:33:45.75\00:33:48.32
in resting spiritually.
00:33:48.62\00:33:51.16
You see, what I'm
trying to tell you tonight
00:34:26.33\00:34:30.11
is salvation...
00:34:30.41\00:34:33.09
salvation is found
only in Jesus Christ.
00:34:33.40\00:34:37.45
Salvation is not found,
friends, in what you can do.
00:34:37.75\00:34:42.48
It's not found in your ability.
00:34:42.78\00:34:45.67
It's not found
in how good you are.
00:34:45.97\00:34:48.88
It is found only and
completely in Jesus Christ.
00:34:49.08\00:34:52.60
And so when that
Sabbath comes around,
00:34:52.90\00:34:55.52
I must learn to rest
totally and completely
00:34:55.82\00:35:00.70
in Jesus Christ.
00:35:01.01\00:35:02.63
When you learn to
turn everything over to Him
00:35:02.93\00:35:08.68
and rest in Christ Jesus,
00:35:08.98\00:35:11.83
then you're really
keeping the Sabbath.
00:35:12.13\00:35:15.41
That's what it's talking about.
00:35:15.71\00:35:17.47
What are you going to rest in?
00:35:29.97\00:35:31.54
You've got to rest in what
Jesus Christ has done for you.
00:35:33.46\00:35:38.39
That's what you rest in.
00:35:38.49\00:35:39.70
You don't rest in your works.
00:35:40.00\00:35:41.43
You don't rest in your ability.
00:35:41.73\00:35:43.19
You rest in what Jesus
Christ has done for you.
00:35:43.49\00:35:46.54
So when I come to
the Sabbath every week
00:35:53.90\00:35:57.21
and that
seventh day rolls around
00:35:57.51\00:36:00.49
and I'm
approaching the Sabbath Day,
00:36:00.79\00:36:02.64
the scripture tells
me "cease your labor.
00:36:02.94\00:36:08.20
Stop your work. "
00:36:08.50\00:36:09.63
But it also says:
"Kenneth Cox, stop!
00:36:09.93\00:36:13.83
Think about it. Understand that
it's resting in Jesus Christ
00:36:14.13\00:36:19.75
and what He has done for
you that you find salvation. "
00:36:20.05\00:36:24.66
That's what the
Sabbath is about.
00:36:24.96\00:36:26.61
That's what it's to teach you.
00:36:26.81\00:36:27.97
That's what it's to teach me.
00:36:28.27\00:36:30.01
The Sabbath, the scripture
says, was given for worship.
00:36:30.21\00:36:33.88
That's what it
was set aside for.
00:36:34.38\00:36:37.36
Not only was it a
time that I was to rest
00:36:37.67\00:36:40.63
but it's a time that
we are to worship God.
00:36:40.83\00:36:43.72
Acts 13:42... and there
may be some of you here tonight
00:36:45.84\00:36:50.55
that are saying:
"Oh, Brother Cox,
00:36:50.85\00:36:53.19
that Sabbath... that was
given for the Jewish people. "
00:36:53.49\00:36:56.82
Well, if you think it was
given for the Jewish people,
00:36:57.12\00:37:00.72
then you need to take
a look at this scripture.
00:37:01.02\00:37:03.66
Listen to what it says here:
00:37:03.86\00:37:05.40
These aren't Jews asking for
the word to be preached to them.
00:37:24.34\00:37:27.30
It's Gentiles. They're
saying: "Paul, preach to us
00:37:27.60\00:37:30.91
the next Sabbath. "
00:37:31.11\00:37:32.25
You'd better believe it
was given to the Gentiles.
00:37:32.55\00:37:36.68
They preached to them.
Watch what takes place here...
00:37:48.87\00:37:52.01
what happens:
00:37:52.11\00:37:53.20
These are
Gentiles! They poured out
00:38:01.79\00:38:04.12
on the Sabbath to hear
the Word of God preached.
00:38:04.33\00:38:07.13
That promise about
the Sabbath, dear friends,
00:38:07.43\00:38:10.66
is given to you.
And God says: "Listen,
00:38:10.86\00:38:14.93
if you will honor Me, if
you will keep My Sabbath,
00:38:15.23\00:38:18.85
if you'll set it aside,
00:38:19.15\00:38:21.27
I'll bless you. I'll
bless you in a special way. "
00:38:21.57\00:38:25.35
That's a promise that God
gives to you... gives to me.
00:38:25.65\00:38:29.16
In fact, the
scripture even tells you
00:38:29.66\00:38:32.93
that you're going to
keep the Sabbath in heaven.
00:38:33.13\00:38:34.97
Now if you're going to
keep it in heaven, friend,
00:38:36.88\00:38:39.56
wouldn't it be well
to start keeping it here?
00:38:39.86\00:38:42.81
This is what it
says, Isaiah 66:22:
00:38:43.11\00:38:46.54
So it says that as the new
heavens so your name remains.
00:38:59.55\00:39:05.15
And it goes on in
Isaiah and it says:
00:39:05.46\00:39:08.10
"From one Sabbath to another
00:39:08.40\00:39:10.29
and from one new moon to another
00:39:10.59\00:39:13.13
all flesh shall come to worship
before Me, saith the Lord. "
00:39:13.43\00:39:17.09
God tells us
very clearly. It says
00:39:17.39\00:39:20.69
that you and I are to
meet together on the Sabbath.
00:39:20.99\00:39:24.11
It says, Hebrews 10:25:
00:39:24.41\00:39:26.72
So he says as you see
the Sabbath approaching
00:39:38.68\00:39:41.20
that you need to worship God.
00:39:41.40\00:39:43.40
The Sabbath was
given as a time of worship.
00:39:43.60\00:39:46.61
You see, Jesus
Christ took that Sabbath
00:39:47.99\00:39:51.99
and He blessed it, He hallowed
it, and He sanctified it
00:39:52.30\00:39:57.42
because He said:
"This is special time
00:39:57.72\00:40:01.28
I want to spend with you. "
00:40:01.58\00:40:03.16
That's what it is.
00:40:03.46\00:40:04.68
It's special time that
God wants to spend with you.
00:40:04.88\00:40:07.99
And dear friend, when
you say "Oh, it doesn't make
00:40:08.29\00:40:11.33
any difference" and you
go on about your own way
00:40:11.53\00:40:13.40
and you pay no attention to it,
00:40:13.61\00:40:15.09
that's very very special
time that you're giving up
00:40:15.39\00:40:19.14
that you could
have spent with Jesus
00:40:19.44\00:40:21.91
because He set
it aside for that.
00:40:22.21\00:40:24.60
Isaiah 58:13...
00:40:25.80\00:40:28.66
I have told you as we've
gone through from night to night
00:40:29.67\00:40:32.07
there's certain texts in
the Bible that I've told you
00:40:32.37\00:40:34.52
you need to highlight...
underline and so forth.
00:40:34.72\00:40:37.11
Well this is one of them.
00:40:37.41\00:40:38.53
OK, Isaiah 58:13:
00:40:38.83\00:40:41.24
That means
trodding it underfoot.
00:40:43.98\00:40:45.73
That's what it means.
Don't trod it underfoot.
00:40:45.93\00:40:48.57
God said, you know:
"Stop forgetting about Me
00:40:54.46\00:40:57.20
and going about and
doing your own thing. "
00:40:57.40\00:40:59.36
All right?
00:40:59.46\00:41:00.67
In other words, He's saying:
"Don't treat that day common.
00:41:18.31\00:41:21.80
This is not a day when
you're to do your own thing. "
00:41:22.10\00:41:24.53
Said: "Don't
treat it that way. "
00:41:24.83\00:41:26.60
Watch what He
says He will do for you
00:41:26.90\00:41:29.53
if you will
treat that day special.
00:41:29.83\00:41:32.42
You want to delight
yourself in the Lord?
00:41:39.11\00:41:40.89
You want the Lord saying to you
00:41:41.20\00:41:43.06
"I'm very, very
pleased with you. " OK?
00:41:43.26\00:41:47.38
That's blessings, folks.
00:41:56.59\00:41:58.27
He said: "If
you'll just do that,
00:41:58.57\00:41:59.85
I will abundantly bless you
in a very, very special way. "
00:42:00.15\00:42:05.57
That's a promise
given to each one of you
00:42:16.94\00:42:21.93
if you will spend
some time with the Lord.
00:42:22.23\00:42:25.74
You say: "Well, Brother Cox,
00:42:26.04\00:42:27.59
can I really know
which day is the Sabbath?
00:42:28.87\00:42:32.05
Is that possible? Can I really
know which day is the Sabbath? "
00:42:32.35\00:42:36.09
Absolutely! You can
know which day is the Sabbath
00:42:36.39\00:42:39.62
without any
question of a doubt at all.
00:42:39.92\00:42:43.56
You don't have to be of
the slightest doubt about it.
00:42:43.86\00:42:46.27
To begin with... languages.
00:42:46.58\00:42:51.65
Spanish it is Sabado.
00:43:01.81\00:43:05.32
In German, their
word for Wednesday
00:43:05.62\00:43:09.47
is... Anybody tell me?
00:43:09.77\00:43:12.37
Mitwoch. You
know what that means?
00:43:12.68\00:43:15.99
That means middle of the week.
00:43:16.29\00:43:20.11
Now if Wednesday is
the middle of the week,
00:43:20.41\00:43:23.74
let me see you find
any other day but Saturday
00:43:23.94\00:43:26.81
be the last day of the week.
00:43:27.01\00:43:28.53
We don't have to
be in doubt at all.
00:43:30.16\00:43:32.01
You take something as
simple as the Jewish people.
00:43:32.21\00:43:35.01
I mean here you
have a group of people
00:43:35.31\00:43:37.57
that have kept the
Sabbath - in a sense -
00:43:37.77\00:43:41.61
since God gave it... all
the way down through time.
00:43:41.91\00:43:45.36
Their calendar
that hangs on their wall
00:43:45.67\00:43:48.22
still is clear as to
exactly when the Sabbath is.
00:43:48.42\00:43:51.69
It falls every week
on Saturday, friends.
00:43:51.99\00:43:55.44
We don't have to be in doubt
as to which day is the Sabbath.
00:43:55.74\00:43:59.85
Your calendar - the calendar
that hangs on your wall -
00:44:01.20\00:44:05.74
clearly tells you that
the seventh day is Saturday.
00:44:06.04\00:44:10.52
Don't have to be
in doubt about that.
00:44:10.82\00:44:12.85
But you can do
away with the calendar.
00:44:13.15\00:44:14.96
You can do away
with all those things
00:44:14.99\00:44:16.99
and you and I still
don't have to be in doubt.
00:44:17.29\00:44:19.77
All you have to
do is take a look
00:44:19.97\00:44:21.82
at the death of Jesus Christ
00:44:22.02\00:44:24.25
and it will tell you clearly
which day is the Sabbath.
00:44:24.55\00:44:28.83
Listen:
00:44:29.13\00:44:30.46
So it tells us that
the day on which Jesus died
00:44:38.87\00:44:43.99
was the day before the Sabbath.
00:44:44.29\00:44:46.50
We call that day Good Friday.
00:44:46.81\00:44:50.29
That's the day that He died on.
00:44:50.59\00:44:53.50
It was called
the Preparation Day.
00:44:53.80\00:44:56.25
Watch as Luke continues:
00:44:56.55\00:44:58.63
OK, they rested on the
Sabbath. That's the next day.
00:45:19.90\00:45:24.23
That's' the very next day...
Saturday, the Sabbath Day.
00:45:24.53\00:45:29.02
Watch as Luke continues. He
doesn't leave you in any doubt.
00:45:29.32\00:45:33.09
They came to the tomb on
the first day of the week.
00:45:49.38\00:45:52.85
Jesus was not
there. He had risen, right?
00:45:53.15\00:45:55.98
And we refer to that
day... we call that day...
00:45:56.28\00:46:00.54
We call that day Easter Sunday:
00:46:04.91\00:46:08.72
the first day of the week.
00:46:09.02\00:46:10.30
Now folks, if I know which day
00:46:10.80\00:46:15.44
is the day that Jesus died on
00:46:15.74\00:46:18.50
and I know which day He rose on,
00:46:18.80\00:46:21.00
do I have any trouble knowing
which day is the Sabbath?
00:46:21.30\00:46:24.18
None at all.
00:46:24.48\00:46:26.56
Scripture is
perfectly clear on this.
00:46:26.76\00:46:29.73
No question about it.
00:46:29.94\00:46:31.45
Only the Sabbath
day, no other day.
00:46:39.14\00:46:42.48
Therefore, what I'm
trying to tell you tonight
00:46:42.88\00:46:46.28
is God has taken
one day of the week
00:46:49.91\00:46:53.66
and He's put His
blessing upon it.
00:46:53.86\00:46:56.66
Let me illustrate it for you.
00:46:57.17\00:46:59.67
Let's say I have seven
glasses of water up here.
00:46:59.97\00:47:03.54
All the glasses
are just exactly alike
00:47:05.03\00:47:08.12
and the water in the glasses
is all just exactly alike.
00:47:09.38\00:47:15.02
They're all the same.
00:47:15.12\00:47:17.23
When I come down
to the seventh glass
00:47:17.53\00:47:21.93
God said He did
something special with it.
00:47:22.23\00:47:25.92
He blessed it, He
hallowed it, He sanctified it.
00:47:26.23\00:47:30.27
So if I come down
to that seventh glass
00:47:30.57\00:47:33.14
and I put some
concentrated juice in it
00:47:33.44\00:47:38.75
and I bless it,
00:47:39.05\00:47:40.95
I take it...
hallow it, sanctified it.
00:47:41.26\00:47:44.71
Is it like the other six?
00:47:45.01\00:47:46.85
No! Never will be, friends.
00:47:47.15\00:47:49.55
You see, the Sabbath...
00:47:49.85\00:47:51.78
God's not asking you
now... tonight, folks.
00:47:52.82\00:47:56.14
God's not saying to you
00:47:56.44\00:47:59.10
"Make the Sabbath holy. "
00:47:59.41\00:48:00.82
He's not asking you to do that.
00:48:01.12\00:48:03.47
God's the One that
makes the Sabbath holy.
00:48:03.77\00:48:05.54
He tells you and I
to "keep it holy. "
00:48:05.84\00:48:08.21
The only day we can keep holy
is the one that God made holy.
00:48:08.51\00:48:13.05
That's why that day is special.
00:48:13.35\00:48:16.07
That's why that
day is different.
00:48:16.37\00:48:18.02
That's why God is inviting you
00:48:18.32\00:48:21.05
to keep that day special.
00:48:21.35\00:48:24.42
And He says: "If you will do so,
00:48:24.72\00:48:26.58
I will bless you
in a special way. "
00:48:26.89\00:48:29.03
The Sabbath is a
very, very special time
00:48:29.33\00:48:34.14
that God has set aside.
00:48:34.45\00:48:36.31
Holy Sabbath Day
00:48:40.55\00:48:45.00
of rest,
00:48:45.20\00:48:49.14
By our Master
00:48:49.74\00:48:52.88
richly blessed.
00:48:53.19\00:48:57.85
God created
00:48:58.52\00:49:02.35
and divine,
00:49:02.56\00:49:07.53
set apart
00:49:07.93\00:49:11.21
for holy time.
00:49:11.52\00:49:17.46
When you came in this evening
you were handed a white card.
00:49:20.52\00:49:24.45
Would you please take that?
00:49:24.75\00:49:27.18
If you don't have one,
would you raise your hand...
00:49:27.49\00:49:29.84
our ushers will give you one.
00:49:30.04\00:49:31.18
We'd like everybody to have one.
00:49:31.38\00:49:33.44
There's three questions tonight
00:49:33.74\00:49:36.23
I'd like for you
to look at with me.
00:49:36.63\00:49:38.66
The first one says:
00:49:38.96\00:49:40.30
He's the One that
created this world.
00:49:44.56\00:49:47.98
He's the One that took
the Sabbath and set it aside
00:49:48.38\00:49:51.61
and blessed it,
hallowed it, sanctified it.
00:49:51.81\00:49:53.64
That's the reason it
says He's Lord of the Sabbath.
00:49:53.94\00:49:55.96
And if you
understand that tonight,
00:49:56.16\00:49:57.43
then put a check by #1.
00:49:57.63\00:49:59.99
Second question says:
00:50:02.85\00:50:04.51
Let me tell you something:
00:50:08.34\00:50:09.51
there's a blessing
in keeping the Sabbath
00:50:09.82\00:50:12.79
that you'll find no other way.
00:50:12.99\00:50:14.33
I promise you, God
carries out His Word
00:50:14.63\00:50:18.61
and He says He'll bless
you if you'll keep the Sabbath.
00:50:18.91\00:50:21.56
And He'll do that for you.
00:50:21.76\00:50:22.86
If you're interested
in keeping the Sabbath,
00:50:23.06\00:50:24.79
put a check by #2.
00:50:25.09\00:50:26.63
And the third question says:
00:50:30.05\00:50:32.23
Maybe tonight you're
hearing it for the first time
00:50:36.08\00:50:38.90
and maybe you'd like to
just have more information
00:50:40.03\00:50:42.64
about the subject.
00:50:42.84\00:50:44.06
If you would, put a check by #3.
00:50:44.36\00:50:47.03
We'll see that you get
more information on the subject.
00:50:47.33\00:50:49.71
Put your name,
your address on it.
00:50:50.01\00:50:51.89
Fill it out as Maddy sings.
00:50:52.09\00:50:54.73
Yes, the holy Sabbath
00:50:55.04\00:51:00.56
rest.
00:51:00.76\00:51:04.28
By our God
00:51:04.58\00:51:08.53
divinely blessed.
00:51:08.73\00:51:14.69
It to us a sign
00:51:15.19\00:51:20.28
shall be
00:51:20.48\00:51:26.33
throughout all
00:51:26.95\00:51:31.31
eternity.
00:51:31.51\00:51:37.46
Let's bow our heads
for a word of prayer.
00:51:39.22\00:51:40.68
Father, we thank you...
00:51:40.98\00:51:42.60
thank you for
Your interest in us
00:51:44.33\00:51:46.74
asking us, Lord, to keep
the day that You've blessed
00:51:47.92\00:51:52.41
that You've
hallowed and You sanctified.
00:51:52.61\00:51:54.63
Bless each one here tonight.
00:51:54.93\00:51:57.60
May they find this
very special time with You.
00:51:57.90\00:52:02.96
And we pray that each one of us
00:52:03.56\00:52:05.80
may be able to
rejoice with You in heaven
00:52:06.30\00:52:09.58
because we've given
our hearts to Jesus Christ.
