Thank you love me? Why myran like my I not saying I

(02:13):
mysel I I to serve my naLola black bet, I say, I

(02:57):
love man six hundred and fourteen.So this morning I'm talking a little bit

(03:25):
about what shall I do with Jesus. Now there's a song that don't also
come out with I think it wasgoal also. I wrote it one time
when I was out of work fora while. I worked on some songs
and I put out the way thatthey do do and it says the song

(03:47):
says, what shall I do withJesus? What shall I What shall my
answer be? Question with question?I answered, what shall you? What
will you do with me? Andit says, like in the days of
old phil man of the world istoday Jesus, your savior is waiting.

(04:13):
What does your answer say? Andthen it goes through the course again,
and then it comes back and itsays, now the decision is your friend,
save your soul or be lost.If you decide, you will lose
it. Think of the awful college. And then it goes through the course

(04:34):
again it and says you are thejudge and the jury savings on all your
per sin. Christ is on trialbefore you, needing your soul to win.
So what shall I do with Jesus? What shall my answer be?
Questioning or question? I answer,what shall we do with me? That's

(04:58):
something we all want to think about. It will Jesus do with us in
that day when we're called. Youknow, just this year we've had many
that have passed away, the youngand the old that I just the same,
But many are passing of just lifethat are unprepared for the judgment for

(05:23):
what's to come. And you knowwhat, it can come on you at
any moments, at any kind andare unlesson. We're going to start with
Bethew Champter twenty seven and verse eleven. Starting with verse eleven, and we'll
go through about verse twenty six.He says that Jesus stood before the government,
and the governor asked him, saying, art thou the king of the

(05:46):
Jews, And Jesus said, untohim, thou sayest. And when he
was accused of the chief priests andelders, he answered another then said polite
unto him, now, not howmany things that they witness against thee And
he answered, here to never aword, insolus that the governor carble greatly.

(06:12):
Now at the feasts, the governorwas wanted to release unto the people
of prisoner whom they will, andthey had then a notable prisoner called the
Rebus. Therefore, when they weregathered together, Pilot said, into them,
who will ye that I was theseof the youth for Rebbus or Jesus,

(06:36):
which is called Christ. For heknewedy that for envy they had delivered
him. And when he was sentdown on the Japancy, his wife sent
unto him, saying, have therenothing to do with this with that just
man, for I have suffered manythings this day, and agreeing because of

(06:59):
him, and the chief priests andelders persuaded the multitude that they should ask
Bravas and destroy Jesus. The governoranswered and said unto them, whether of
the twain will you that our releaseof you? They said babus Colet said
unto them, what shall I dothen with Jesus, which is called Christ?

(07:24):
And they said in him let himto crucified? And the governor said,
why, what evil hath he done? And then but they cried the
lord, saying let him be crucified. When Colt saw that he could prevail
nothing but that rather a terble wasmade, he took water and washed his

(07:47):
hand before the multitude, saying,I am innocent of the blood of this
just person. See he too thenanswered the people had said blood be all
us and all our children. Thenat the least he bad us under them,
And when he had scourged Jesus,he delivered him to be crucified.

(08:11):
You think this story just reading throughthe verses there, we don't read him
very all through, but you readthrough that Polit knows that Jesus wasn't guilty
of anything. He could have releasedhim, but he asked the paper,
what could I do with Jesus?All let him be crucified. That ain't

(08:33):
a crucified? And then Polit goesall the wars's hands, thinking that that
makes him innocent. No, hewas as guilty as they were because he
had the power, the power torelease him, but he didn't. But
we'll go old and we'll talk aboutthis. That was all propsided and the
long ago that this would happen justthe way it did it. But what

(08:56):
are we doing with Jesus? Andhe Bruce Chapter five who verse seven through
Dad says who in the days ofhis flesh, when he had offered up
prayers and such patience, with strongcrying and tears on him, that was
able to save him from death?And was heard in that he feared that

(09:18):
though he were a son, hehad learned he obedience by the things which
he suffered, and being made perfect, he became an author of eternal salvation,
and all them that obeyed him.You know, brother Tommy, you
should quote the Scripture of Law,but I think that first verse says it
all. Jesus went to the gardenof vicinity, and he cried and begged

(09:43):
to the Lord to let him letthat cup pass from him. But he
said, not mind, little,but thou will be done. And with
crying and tears, wanted to dothat cup to pass away, but did
he do. He was obedient?Are we being obedient as Jesus was?

(10:05):
In Matthew Chapter leaving verse Plan eighttwo thirty, he says, come unto
me, I'll eve that labor andare heavy, lady, and I'll give
the rest. Take my yoke uponyou, and learning me, for I
am me, and love me andheart, and he shall buy rest for
your souls. For my yoke iseasy and my burden is life. Now

(10:28):
they don't mean in this life thatthings is going to be easy. But
you know what, the plan ofsalvation in the Gospel has laid out right
before us. It's written down towhat they say black and then words plain,
so that we can see it andwe can read it and we can
understand. He says, come untome. He wants us to come to

(10:50):
him. He wouldn't have it anyother way. But they submitting out in
this world that are trying to tellyou to come some other way. He
says, come unto me, allyou that lever and are heavy, lad
that I'll gie your risk. Wewill his risk, not some other type
of risk. In Matthew, chaptertwenty six and verse fifty through fifty eight,

(11:13):
he says, Jesus said unto them, said unto him, friend,
wherefore art thou come? Then camethey and laid hands on Jesus and took
him, and the whole one ofthem which were with Jesus stretched out his
hand and drew his sword, andstruck a servant of the high priest,

(11:37):
and smote off his ear. Thensaid Jesus unto him, put again,
put up again thy sword into hisplace, And for all day that take
the sword shall perish. Put thesword. Thinkest thou that I cannot now

(11:58):
pray to my father, and heshall presently give me more than twelve legions
of anils, But how then shallthe scriptures be fulfilled? That? Thus
it must be in that same hour, said Jesus to the localitudes, are
he come out against the thief withswords and stage to take for to take

(12:22):
me? I sent daily with you, teaching in the temple, and you
laid no hold on me. Butall this was done that the scriptures of
the prophets might be fulfilled. Thenall the disciples forsook him and fled,
and they that had laid hold onJesus led him away to care of us

(12:45):
the High Priest, wherever the stridesthe elders were similed. But Peter followed
him afar off under the high Priest'spalace and went in and sat with the
servants to see it in a compleyof different things that we can look at,
and what we're dealing with Jesus,you know, he said that he
could call angels, but he didn'tbecause the scriptures needed to be fulfilled.

(13:09):
And then what happened. His disciplesfor suk him and fled. They couldn't
handle the things that was going tohappen. But then Peter followed him afar
off. You know, there's awhole lesson that I've heard on that Peter
following afar Off? Are we followingafar Off? Are we following behind him

(13:31):
just because we don't want to beseen and be part of what Jesus has
offered? We need to watch thatwe're not followed afar Off? What are
we doing with Jesus? And SuperphyChapter of two, in verse eleven,
three fifteenth says, it is afaithful say or if we be dead with

(13:54):
him, we shall also live withhim. If we suffer, we shall
also random him. If we denyhim, he also will deny us.
If we believe not yet about afaith, he cannot deny himself. All
these things put them in their hinderance, charging them before the Lord, that

(14:18):
they strive not about the words tono profit, but to the subverting of
the hearers. Study to show thyselfapproved of God, a workman that needed
not to be as shaved rightly divided. The words of truth we need be
afterc We need to be studied,he says here. But strive not about

(14:39):
the words to know a profit,but to the subverting of the hearers.
These words they are subverting what thesuburbing. It needs to bring down,
bringing down the ones that are hearing. We need to be aftric and understand
what the Gospel has offered, studyingto show ourselves and proved are we doing

(15:00):
to that? In Matthew chapter fiveof verse fourteen through sixteen, it says,
you are the light of the world, a city that is set on
a hill that cannot be head.Neither of you man light of candle and
put it under a bushel, Butall the candles did, and it give
us light. And to all thatare in the puth. Let your light

(15:22):
so shy before men, that theymay see your good words and glorify your
Father, which is in heaven.You know, I thought about this,
this person of the Lesson, becauseof the day. We don't have the
light that we normally have. Butdo we have the light of our soul?

(15:43):
Are we light in the world withus? With what we have to
offer. We have something that noneother has to offer. We have the
Gospel. We have the truth thatwe can offer to everybody. But sometimes
I think that we hide that,hide it from everybody else because we're afraid

(16:03):
of what these words that are writtenwill tell them. You know, they
may not be there a friend forvery long after you tell them something,
but at least you've told them thetruth. You've told him. And then
came end of the day, gentlemen, saying, well, you never mentioned
him to be you never said aword. But we need to be looking

(16:25):
at for that, friends, andstudying to show ourselves a proof. In
John chapter six and verse sixty eightsixty six through sixty eight, and says
for that time, from that timemany of his disciples went back and walked
on more with him. Then saidJesus unto the twelve, would you also

(16:48):
go away? Then Simon Peter answeredand said, Lord, to whom shall
we go? Thou hast the wordsof the turn of life? He does.
He's the older woman, hasn't thisbook is the older one that holds
him. It's the only woman thatsaved us in the day of judgment.
Is if we've done every word everythingthat it says, He's Peter been out

(17:14):
spoken one and says, who shallbe good? There's no salvation in nothing
else, Prince, nothing no salvation. In John chapter twelve and verse forty
seven through fifty had says, andif any man hear my words and believe
not I judge him not, forI came not to judge the world,

(17:37):
but to save the world. Hethat rejected me in received not my words.
Have one that judged him? Thewords that I have spoken him,
the same shall judge him in thelast day. For I have not spoken
of myself, But the Father whohad sent me, he gave me a
commandment what I should say and whatI should speak. And I know that

(18:00):
his commandics commandic is life everlasting.Whatsoever I speak. Therefore, even as
the Father said unto me, soI speak the things that the Lord told
him, he spoke and laid itout for us. Think of that God

(18:21):
sent his son and told him whatto say, told him, told us
what to do, and he spokeit, spoke it back then, But
we have it written now now.And he said, he that rejected me
and received not my words, hathone of justice. There's the words that
I have spoken with the same selfjudging in the last day, the words

(18:45):
going to judge us. In thead wilkings what are we doing with it?
What are we doing with Jesus?In First Judge, chapter two of
verse fifteen through seventeen, it says, love not the world, neither of
the things that are in the world. For if any man love the world
beloved, the Father is not inhim. For all is in the world,

(19:07):
the lust of the flesh, andthe lust of the eyes, and
the pride of life is not ofthe Father, but is of the world.
And the world passes away, andthe lust thereof. But he that
doeth the will of God abideth forever. We're going to abide forever somewhere.
You're going to either abide in happinessand joy of peace and in that rest

(19:29):
that we've already talked about this morning, or we're gon go he in corning
forever and forever moren where they'll beweeping in national teeth. And the worm
I not and the fire is notto twinge. That's that's the basics of
it. No, nothing more,nothing less. But I don't ache.

(19:49):
Yesterday I was setting earth, butat the computer I'm a bit of a
firebug. If I get a lordof fire out of collect like a lighter
and I could play with it,But you know what, if it hits
you, I don't think you wantto touch it for very long. That
he I've been burned in time ortwo from a muffler or whatever, and

(20:10):
it hurts, but that's a burnedthat never goes away. It's going to
be there forever and forever more.But we're not going to be consumed.
You know. They talk about thecremation and being burned up, and there's
been people that have been in theWorld War two that got bombed and there
was nothing left of. But thiswe will live all forever. Who might

(20:34):
have a more like that being burnedand told and in formani, I don't
want to be like that. Idon't know about you. It acts chapter
twenty four and verse twenty two ortwenty five. It says, and certain
and after certain days, when Phelixcame with his wife Ruscilla, which was

(20:55):
the Jewish, he sent for Pauland her dear concerning the faith in Christ.
And as he reads of righteousness vincentsand judent to come, feel it's
trembled and adventure go thy way.For this time, when I have a
convenient season, I will call forthere is that Our attitude too, is

(21:18):
I just wait for convenient time.God will give me time. I've got
plenty of time. I'm just me. I'm just forty four years old.
I've got plenty of time. I'lldo what he tells me to do one
day. It's all right, No, friends, Now is the accept the
time. Now is the day ofsalvation, because what did he say in

(21:42):
another scription? Our salvation is nearnow than when we first believe. Don't
that haven't believed? You can dieat any time. God, don't give
us no promise of tomorrow. Anda song said, if tomorrow never comes
to Paula never does, today isthe day of salvation. There is no

(22:07):
promise of the tomorrow. In Aschapter twenty six and verse twenty seventy through
twenty nine, it says a Grippaking Grippa believest thou the prophets. I
know that thou believes. Then IGrippa said, under Paul, almost thou
persuadest me to be a Christian.And Paul said, I vote to God

(22:30):
that not only thou, but alsoall that hear me. This day we're
both almost and altogether such as Iam accept these bonds. Are we like
that almost persuaded? You know thatsong of the book six forty seven,
All horse persuaded now to believe?Almost persuaded, you know? Are we

(22:56):
almost? We better be all togetherlike all of us all together persuade.
And then in Matthew chapter six andverse thirty three, it says, but
seek ye first the Kingdom of Godand his righteousness, and all these things
shall be added unto you. Idon't know what's you. Sometimes we lose

(23:19):
that thought of seeking the Kingdom firstand putting God first in our lives.
That's the easiest thing to do,is to put something else before Jesus.
But he says, seek ye first, the Kingdom of God and his righteousness,
and all these things will be addedunto you. We get sweat and

(23:41):
land and material things. Are wegoing to have a car, or we're
gonna have the lights? Are wegoing to have a roof over a hand?
Are we going to have water?Yeah? All those things will come
along as long as we're doing whatGod has us to do. In First
Chimputy, chapter six and verse fiveand six, it's says, perverse disputings

(24:02):
of men, of corrupt minds,of destitute, and destitute of the truth,
supposing that gain is godliness of suchwithdraw, I said, but Goddness
with contentment is great game. Arewe are we God having to God in
us with contentment? Are we contentto be just simply a Christian. That's

(24:29):
that's really what it boils down to. Are we content to be a Christian
and do what God has asked usto do? That's great game. We
may up think of it that way, but that's better than dollars and material
wealth leverage of us. And HebrewsChaper six and verse four through six it

(24:51):
says, for it is impossible forthose who were losing biden and at a
taste of the heavily gift, andwe're made for takers of the holy gods,
and to have tasted the good wordof God, and the power of
the world become if they shall fallaway, to renew them again to repentants,
seeing they crucified to themselves for soabout the fresh and put him to

(25:17):
an open shame? Do we puthim to an open shame? Do we
need to deny him just like theydid? There the denying Jesus. Peter
denied him three times, and heknew it. He'd been about him.
He knows what he was about.He knowed all the things that Jesus had
done. But yet he denied himanyone. Are we like that? You
mean? James Chapter four, verseseventeen says, therefore to him that know

(25:41):
it to do good and do itthat not to him, it's sin.
If we know what we should dosomething and we don't do it. It's
see on the foot side, ifyou know that we shouldn't do something and
we do it anyway, it's seeinyou need to be doing exactly what the
word says. In Matthew, chaptertwenty five and verse forty six, it

(26:04):
says, and they shall go awayinto everlasting punishment, but the righteous in
the Life etern You read chapter twentyfive of Matthew, and it talks about
both sides. It talks about thosethat did everything that Jesus hold him to
do. And he said, inas much as you doesn't have to the

(26:26):
least of one of these, youdid it unto him. And then on
the flip side, of all thethings that they didn't do, they didn't
feed, they didn't do go,visit, they didn't do all those things.
And then as much as they didit not to the least of one,
oh, they did it not untothem. Yeah, and they went

(26:48):
away and punishing those that didn't doit. And in life, but the
life unto the life eternal for therighteous? Are we looking for that?
What are we doing with jes Thatwas part of the lesson, But then
I found another part that I wantedto use for this lesson. He says,

(27:08):
is there evidence about evidence that whenwe are a Christian? You can
take that as part. You know, when you have a trial and they're
trying to figure out whether somebody isguilty or incident, there's usually there has
to be some evidence to prove whetherthey're guilty or they're not guilty. In

(27:30):
my way of looking, if they'vebeen brought up both charges, maybe they
are guilty, but I should reservemy judgment. They're telling here you all
of thing, but they has tobe some evidence that when God's looking at
our evidence, our body of work, and that's that's what He's really looking
at, our body and worked fromthe title work accountable, that we become

(27:56):
a Christian and killed life sin.You know when we talk about the time
between the year of our birth andthe year of our dead, that's part
of it. But there's a timeperiod where we become account we're from that
point till our idea. We needto be faithful, we need to be

(28:18):
that that God would have us tobe. So, that's our evidence.
Is there are enough evidence that weare a Christian. In First Critiainst Chapter
fifty Universe fifty eight, it says, day formed by the loved Brother,
be steadfast, unmovable, always aboutme in the work of the Lord.
For as much as you know thatyour labor is not in vain in the

(28:42):
Lord, it's not bad. Ifwe're doing the work that God hasked us
to do, it's not bad work. We may not see the evidence their
love, but I guarantee you this, in the day of gentleman, if
we've done well, will hear thewords well done, thou good, a

(29:03):
faithful servant in here thou end tothe joys of thy Lord. But if
he have not done well, hewill say, depart from me, I
never need you. He will say, I never need you. Depart from
me. Ye that working me.That's exactly what he's gonna say. Nothing
more, nothing left, no
