Speaker 1 (00:10):
We welcome you once again to this another edition of
End Time Revival Ministries USA podcast. I am your host,
Pastor al Zachary, and today we are going to begin
a brand new series All about Jesus. Amen. So for
(00:32):
the next few weeks or how I belonged, the series
is going to run. I don't know. We're going to
be talking about Jesus, All about Jesus. And of course
we welcome all of you who are Amen, listeners and
supporters of this ministry, End Time Revival Ministries. We've been
(00:54):
broadcasting for over twenty years now and we've been podcasting
for several years. And again, it is all by the
grace of God, by the help of God, that we
have been a man able to disseminate the Word of God.
And we again thank God for each and every one
of you, for all of your prayers and your support. Amen,
(01:15):
as we endeavor to do what God has purpose for
us to do during this season, in such a time
as this, and so we pray that God's help and
healing and hope and revival and all of His blessings
(01:36):
will be upon each and every one of you, those
of you who may not be yet in the household
of faith. We pray that God will open your eyes,
your ears, your heart, that you may a man come
to know the fellowship, the beauty of the fellowship that
is to be had in Christ, Jesus our Lord. And
(01:57):
so Amen, we pray even now God will add to
his church, add to his kingdom. Amen, because He will
be glorified in all things. Amen. And so we want
to be in that number. We want to be a
part of that glory. A man glorified with him, a man.
(02:19):
Promise of eternal life includes for those of us who
are a man saved and delivered from the power of
the enemy. It includes a man the promise of joint heirship.
If you will, we are heirs, the Bible says, and
joint heirs with Christ. And we are eternally grateful for Amen,
(02:44):
the Lord seeing faith to save us. I mean, we've
got to remember always it is by grace that we
are saved through faith. It's not of ourselves, it's not
of works, lest anyone should boast. It is the gift
of God. Salvation is God's gift. We don't earn it,
(03:10):
we cannot buy it. Amen. It is a gift. It
is the gift of God. And it is because He's
a merciful, long suffering, compassionate, forgiving, wonderful savior and redeemer. Amen.
And that's why we have this hope that is in
Him and through Him. All Right, we're going to begin
(03:31):
this series all about Jesus, and we're going to be
if you have your bibles in the first chapter of
the Gospel of John. The first chapter of the Gospel
of John is where we're going to read a few
verses on today before we begin. As always, of course, Amen,
(03:53):
we pray that a man God's a ban presence and power,
will a man be effectual in the dissemination of his word. Father, Again,
great is your faithfulness to us. Thank you for this calling.
Thank you for anointing and appointing us for such a
time as this. Thank You for the Word of Life,
(04:13):
the Living Word. We pray that even now that it
will have free course, that it will reign and rule
in the hearts of man and women everywhere. Lord, we
pray that you will open eyes and ears and hearts
to receive the ingrafted Word which is able to save
us and keep us. Amen. Until the day of redemption,
(04:33):
God be glorified in all that we say and do.
Let you again, powering anointing fall on someone today and
Jesus name, we praying your thanks, Amen and Amen. All right,
all about Jesus, All about Jesus. Now. What we will
endeavor to do in this series from day one until
(04:56):
we come to the conclusion of it is the what
you need to know about Jesus, what you need to
believe about Jesus, what you need to understand about Jesus,
what you need to do concerning Jesus, and what you
(05:21):
cannot be. These two things are very important. These last
two things I'm gonna mention are very important. What you
cannot be is a neutral bystander observer. What you must
do is believe on him or not believe. So again
(05:48):
we're going to be talking about what you need to know,
what you need to believe, what you need to understand,
and what you need to do. What you must do
a man concerning Jesus. You cannot be neutral, and you
must believe him, believe on him, believe in him, or
(06:12):
not to believe. First and foremost we're going to cover
today in the Gospel of John. We have extracted these
a man topical things that we're going to cover very quickly.
It's not going to take very long to do this.
But these salient points that we must a man take from.
(06:34):
I believe this text of the scripture, all of this
is in the first chapter of John's Gospel. Number one.
All of this is all about Jesus. Number one. He
is the beginning of all things. Number two. He is
the maker or the creator of all things. Number three.
(06:58):
He is the life of all things. Number four. He
is the light of all things. Number five. He is
the incarnation of God. Number six. He is the source
of grace and truth. Number seven. He is the eradicator,
(07:24):
the eliminator, the eraser, if you will, of the sins
of mankind. Number eight. Amen. He is the baptizer of
the Holy Ghost. Amen. All right, all of these are
(07:48):
found and in this first chapter of the Gospel of John. Amen.
We're going to begin now reading from verse number one,
or at verse number one from the Gospel of John.
Verse number one in the beginning was the word capital
(08:10):
W or already the word, and the word was with God,
and the word was God number one. First and foremost,
let's keep in mind. Put it in your mind, cement
it in your mind. God and His Word are inseparable.
(08:33):
God and his Word are inseparable. As a matter of fact,
the Bible tells us that God has magnified his word
above his name, his word above his name. Amen. So
in the beginning was the word. The word was with God,
(08:56):
and the Word was God. The same was in the
beginning with God. All things here we go, creator maker,
were made by him, and without him was not anything
made that was made. So again, all things are made
(09:19):
by Him, by Jesus, and the Bible. By the way,
the Bible tells us a man that he is the
pre eminence of all things. By him, all things consists Colossians.
You can read it there. Amen. There is nothing that
has been made that was not made by him. The Word,
(09:44):
the Word of God, the living Word. We're not talking
about your Bible, a man. We're not talking about that
paper book of the scriptures that you have. We're talking
about the living Word. Now. I'm not in any way
minimizing the at no serve no man. Amen. But we're
(10:04):
talking about the living Word of God that was in
the beginning. Again, the Bible is God's revelation to us
a man, the revealing his self, revelation about who he
is a man. His promises. The Bible is just feeled
with a man, wisdom and knowledge and understanding a man.
(10:26):
And again revelation prophecy promises. But we're talking about the
Living Word, God himself. Amen. So all things were made
by him, the Living Word, and without him was not
anything made that was made in him? There it is.
(10:48):
Next was life. Jesus is life. He is the source
of life. He is life himself, and that's why he
made the promise. I came that you might have life
and have it more abundantly. So you need to know
that life is in Jesus. Jesus said these words. Also
(11:11):
without me, or apart from me, you can do nothing
a man in him, the Bible says, we live, move
and have our existence. Amen. In him was life, and
that life. Verse number four was the light of men,
(11:33):
and the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness comprehended it. Not. Next,
Jesus is light. He is the light and the course.
Later in this Gospel of John, he will make from
what we now extract the seven am sayings of Christ.
(11:55):
He is the light of the world. That's what he said.
And this is now again. You must either believe that
Jesus is the light, or you don't believe it. And
he said it. He said it. He said, I am
the light of the world. He said, believe why you
have the light. Walk in the light while you have
(12:17):
the light. Amen. And so that's another thing that we
must know and understand about Jesus. He is light. In him,
the Bible says there is no darkness at all. So
verse four, again, in him was life, and that life
(12:42):
was the light of men. The life of Jesus is
the light that we need. And the light shines in
the darkness, the darkness of this world because of sin,
because of transgressions, because of man's reas re bellion against
God God, we are in darkness. Amen. We prefer the darkness.
(13:07):
And Jesus spoke about this by the way he said,
men love darkness rather than light, and they will not
come to the light. We must be compelled, We must
be drawn by the loving kindness and mercy of God
to come to the light. So the light has come
(13:28):
to the darkness. Darkness will not come to the light.
So light has come to the darkness, and the light
shines in the darkness. And yet the darkness does not
comprehend it. Amen. Let's drop down to verse number fourteen. Amen,
(13:48):
and the word there it is capitol w O r D.
The word was made flesh. Now again, go back to
verse number one. In the beginning was the word word
with God. The word was God. And now verse fourteen
John tells us and the word that same word that
was in the beginning, the word was made flesh. Now
(14:13):
what is he talking about? Who is he talking about?
He's talking about the living Word, Jesus, the incarnation of God.
There it is, the incarnation of God came down again
(14:34):
in the flesh. He partook of flesh and blood. Why
did he do it? All there as a host of reasons,
but principally chiefly because we ourselves are partakers of flesh
and blood. So he himself, the Bible tells us, partook
of the same. We have not a high priest who
cannot be touched, the Bible teaches, with the feeling of
(14:58):
our infirmities. But he he came down from glory and
was in all points tempted like as we are, yet
without sin, in order to offer himself his blood. God
is spirit. A spirit does not have blood a man,
and only the blood righteous holy a man. Pure undified
(15:22):
blood a man could take away could atone for sins.
Without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sins.
And since God is spirit and a spirit does not
have blood. In the incarnation, God came down in the
(15:43):
miracle of the virgin birth, partook of flesh and blood
in the person and work of Jesus the Christ, and
took on our sins, shedding his blood. That is why
he came. The Word made flesh dwelt among us, John says,
(16:07):
and we beheld his glory. Now. One of the things
that they beheld, Peter, James and John a man, the
inner circle, as we call them, was the amount of transfiguration,
a man, exclusive event that only the three of them witnessed,
(16:27):
a man, where they saw Jesus transfigured before their faces,
a man, the glow, the beauty, the essence, the radiance
of that light. And they saw Moses and Elijah talking
with Jesus, a man, and so a man. John speaks
of beholding the glory a man, the glory as of
(16:50):
the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
There it is grace and truth emanates from Jesus alone. Amen,
it is through him alone that you will find as
a matter of fact. He would later also testify, Amen,
(17:12):
that he is the truth. Jesus is the very embodiment.
It's the very personification of grace and truth. Amen. And
God knows we need grace. Amen. The grace of God
that brings salvation, the Bible says, has appeared to all men,
teaching us to deny on godliness and worldlyness. Amen. And
(17:35):
so amen. Jesus number one again is the Word of God. Amen,
the Word, the living Word, Amen, the beginning of all things,
the maker of all things, the life of all things,
the light of all things. And he is the very
(17:57):
incarnation of God. My Father are one, he would say, Amen,
if you've seen me, you have seen the Father. How
do you say, show us the Father again. He is
also now the source of grace and truth. He is
the source of grace and truth. All right, So there
(18:22):
you have it so far. Amen, you've seen all of these, Amen,
things about Jesus. We've come to know all of these things.
And we should come to know all of these things
about Jesus. Amen. The Word was made flesh. That same
word that was in the beginning dwelt among us. John says,
we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only
(18:42):
begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. Verse fifteen.
John says he bore witness of him and cried, saying,
this was he. This is John the Baptist, by the way,
who was baptizing Amen, who was sent before Jesus, the
forerunner Amen. John the Baptist, for witness of Jesus cried saying,
this was he of whom I spake. He that cometh
(19:07):
after me is preferred before me. Look what John says,
for he was before me. John understood that Jesus is
the I Am, that he is the self existent, preexisting
a man again. Even though he came down from glory
(19:28):
in the incarnation in the miracle of the Virgin birth,
he always was, and that's why he would later also
testify again in the same Gospel of John when speaking
with the Jews. Before Abraham was I am, I always was,
I always will be, and of his fullness Verse sixteen.
(19:52):
Have we all received and grace for grace for the
law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came
by Jesus Christ. No man verse eighteen hath seen God
at any time the only begotten son, who is in
the bosom of the Father he hath declared him. In
(20:14):
other words, this was the purpose of the manifestation, a
man of Jesus coming into flesh, so we could see
God in the flesh. You can't see God in all
of his glory, God in spirit, God in Heaven, God
on the throne, A man in your mere mortal sin.
(20:34):
Feel unglorified if you will, body of flesh a man.
Only after we have been changed, only after we have
been a man raptured up to glory. Will we see God, Amen,
in all of his fools. And the Bible tell us,
by the way, we're going to see him face to face. Amen,
(20:56):
we shall be like him. We shall see Him as
he is in all of his glory. But we cannot.
No man can see God and live. A man in
this sinful, a man because God is holy, Amen, and
we can't even approach unto his presence. There have been
those who have been caught up to glory, a man
(21:17):
in the sense that they were transfigured a man, Paul
being one, Isaiah being one, and others a man that
have a man. John, of course, the one who wrote
this gospel and the revelation. He also a man was
taken up a man while he was imprisoned out of patents,
to see all kinds of a man, things that a
(21:39):
man that are unspeakable in many regards, and things that
he couldn't even write in some In some respects, but
only a select few have a man been transfigured, as
it were, or or carried up in the spirit, as
it were, to see God, to the throne of God,
(22:01):
to see the glory of God. And know for a
fact that once you see, once you taste, once you
are in the presence of the majesty and the splendor
of the Almighty. There I mean, you cannot be the same.
You will not be the same. Amen. Verse twenty six.
(22:22):
Let's go down. We're almost concluding here. Verse twenty six.
John answered them, this is John the Baptists again, speaking
to those who had come to his baptism. He says,
I baptize with water. But their standeth one among you
whom you know not. Remember, the light shines into darkness,
and darkness does not comprehend. John tells us. By the
(22:44):
way a gospel writer John Jesus, when he came to
his own his own did not receive him. They didn't
know him. They should have been an expectation of him,
which they supposedly were, but when he came they missed it,
despite all of the prophecies that they had a man
(23:05):
at their disposal. So John says, I'm baptizing with water.
But there's one standing among you whom you don't even know.
Here it is he. It is who coming after me,
is preferred before me, whose shoes strap I am not
(23:29):
worthy to unloose. These things Verse twenty eight were not
in Bethabora, beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing. The
next day, watch this John saw Jesus coming unto him
and saying, behold the Lamb of God, who taketh away
(23:51):
the sin of the world. There it is the next point,
the next thing that we must know. Jesus is the eradicator,
the eliminator, the eraser of our sins. Behold the lamb
of God. Remember, the lamb is for the shedding the blood.
(24:16):
He's not, as the writer of Hebrews tells us, a
man the blood of bulls and ghats cannot take away sin.
He's not referring to an actual animal here, referring to
Jesus Christ the Lamb of God, the sacrificial lamb, a
man who would take away the sins of all who
(24:36):
would believe on him, obey him, trust him. Come to him,
the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of
the world. This is he of whom I said, after
me cometh a man who is preferred before me, For
he was before me, and I knew him not, but
that he should be made manifest to Israel. Therefore I
have come baptizing with water. And John Borrecord said, I
(25:00):
saw the spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and
it abode upon him, And I knew him not. But
he that sent me to baptize with water. The same
said unto me, upon whom thou shalt see the spirit
(25:22):
descending and remaining on him. This is the last point
we're gonna emphasize. The same is he that baptizeth with
the Holy Ghost. Final point. Jesus is the one who
baptizes us with the Holy Ghost. He said, I will
(25:50):
send the promise of the Father, the Spirit of Truth,
the Holy Spirit, the comforter Amen, to be with you,
to be in you, to never leave you, to never
forsake you. He will testify of me amen. Jesus alone
is the one who baptizes with the Holy ghost That's
(26:16):
why you must call upon his name in order to
be saved. Neither is there salvation in any other There
is none of the name given among men, whereby the
Bible says we must be saved. Salivation is in the
(26:41):
name of Jesus, because he alone is the disseminator, the
one who sends, the one who baptizes with the holy ghosts. Again,
let's recap very quickly. We're done. Jesus is the beginning
(27:03):
of all things. Jesus is the maker or the creator
of all things. Jesus is the life of all things.
Jesus is the light of and for all things. Jesus
is the incarnation of God manifested in flesh. God was
(27:26):
in Christ, the Bible tells us, reconciling the world unto himself.
He is the very embodiment of God. Jesus is the
source of grace and truth. Jesus is the eradicator, eliminator,
eraser if you will of our sins. And finally, Jesus
(27:52):
is the baptizer of the holy ghosts. You can own
be saved by him. He is the one and only
mediator between God and man. So again, all about Jesus,
All about Jesus. What you need to know, what you
(28:14):
need to believe, what you need to understand, and what
you need to do concerning him. And remember you cannot
be neutral. You must believe Jesus or not believe him. Amen.
(28:37):
Father again, thank you for the word, thank you for
the Savior, thank you for the hope, thank you for
the peace, thank you for this great salvation. We pray
that it will fall on ears, that we hear and
obey and come to know that you are the true
and the living God. Be glorified, be magnified. Today in
Jesus' name, we pray and give thanks. Amen and Amen,
We welcome you once again to this another edition of
End Time Revival Ministries USA podcast. I am your host,

grace of God, by the help of God, that we
have been a man able to disseminate the Word of God.
And we again thank God for each and every one

healing and hope and revival and all of His blessings

your ears, your heart, that you may a man come
to know the fellowship, the beauty of the fellowship that
is to be had in Christ, Jesus our Lord. And
(01:57):
so Amen, we pray even now God will add to
his church, add to his kingdom. Amen, because He will
be glorified in all things. Amen. And so we want
to be in that number. We want to be a
part of that glory. A man glorified with him, a man.
(02:19):
Promise of eternal life includes for those of us who
are a man saved and delivered from the power of
the enemy. It includes a man the promise of joint heirship.
If you will, we are heirs, the Bible says, and
joint heirs with Christ. And we are eternally grateful for Amen,
(02:44):
the Lord seeing faith to save us. I mean, we've
got to remember always it is by grace that we
are saved through faith. It's not of ourselves, it's not
of works, lest anyone should boast. It is the gift
of God. Salvation is God's gift. We don't earn it,
(03:10):
we cannot buy it. Amen. It is a gift. It
is the gift of God. And it is because He's
a merciful, long suffering, compassionate, forgiving, wonderful savior and redeemer. Amen.
And that's why we have this hope that is in
Him and through Him. All Right, we're going to begin

and the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness comprehended it. Not. Next,
Jesus is light. He is the light and the course.
Later in this Gospel of John, he will make from
what we now extract the seven am sayings of Christ.
(11:55):
He is the light of the world. That's what he said.
And this is now again. You must either believe that
Jesus is the light, or you don't believe it. And
he said it. He said it. He said, I am
the light of the world. He said, believe why you
have the light. Walk in the light while you have
(12:17):
the light. Amen. And so that's another thing that we
must know and understand about Jesus. He is light. In him,
the Bible says there is no darkness at all. So
verse four, again, in him was life, and that life
(12:42):
was the light of men. The life of Jesus is
the light that we need. And the light shines in
the darkness, the darkness of this world because of sin,
because of transgressions, because of man's reas re bellion against
God God, we are in darkness. Amen. We prefer the darkness.
(13:07):
And Jesus spoke about this by the way he said,
men love darkness rather than light, and they will not
come to the light. We must be compelled, We must
be drawn by the loving kindness and mercy of God
to come to the light. So the light has come
(13:28):
to the darkness. Darkness will not come to the light.
So light has come to the darkness, and the light
shines in the darkness. And yet the darkness does not
comprehend it. Amen. Let's drop down to verse number fourteen. Amen,
(13:48):
and the word there it is capitol w O r D.
The word was made flesh. Now again, go back to
verse number one. In the beginning was the word word
with God. The word was God. And now verse fourteen
John tells us and the word that same word that
was in the beginning, the word was made flesh. Now
(14:13):
what is he talking about? Who is he talking about?
He's talking about the living Word, Jesus, the incarnation of God.
There it is, the incarnation of God came down again
(14:34):
in the flesh. He partook of flesh and blood. Why
did he do it? All there as a host of reasons,
but principally chiefly because we ourselves are partakers of flesh
and blood. So he himself, the Bible tells us, partook
of the same. We have not a high priest who
cannot be touched, the Bible teaches, with the feeling of
(14:58):
our infirmities. But he he came down from glory and
was in all points tempted like as we are, yet
without sin, in order to offer himself his blood. God
is spirit. A spirit does not have blood a man,
and only the blood righteous holy a man. Pure undified
(15:22):
blood a man could take away could atone for sins.
Without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sins.
And since God is spirit and a spirit does not
have blood. In the incarnation, God came down in the
(15:43):
miracle of the virgin birth, partook of flesh and blood
in the person and work of Jesus the Christ, and
took on our sins, shedding his blood. That is why
he came. The Word made flesh dwelt among us, John says,
(16:07):
and we beheld his glory. Now. One of the things
that they beheld, Peter, James and John a man, the
inner circle, as we call them, was the amount of transfiguration,
a man, exclusive event that only the three of them witnessed,
(16:27):
a man, where they saw Jesus transfigured before their faces,
a man, the glow, the beauty, the essence, the radiance
of that light. And they saw Moses and Elijah talking
with Jesus, a man, and so a man. John speaks
of beholding the glory a man, the glory as of
(16:50):
the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
There it is grace and truth emanates from Jesus alone. Amen,
it is through him alone that you will find as
a matter of fact. He would later also testify, Amen,
(17:12):
that he is the truth. Jesus is the very embodiment.
It's the very personification of grace and truth. Amen. And
God knows we need grace. Amen. The grace of God
that brings salvation, the Bible says, has appeared to all men,
teaching us to deny on godliness and worldlyness. Amen. And
(17:35):
so amen. Jesus number one again is the Word of God. Amen,
the Word, the living Word, Amen, the beginning of all things,
the maker of all things, the life of all things,
the light of all things. And he is the very
(17:57):
incarnation of God. My Father are one, he would say, Amen,
if you've seen me, you have seen the Father. How
do you say, show us the Father again. He is
also now the source of grace and truth. He is
the source of grace and truth. All right, So there
(18:22):
you have it so far. Amen, you've seen all of these, Amen,
things about Jesus. We've come to know all of these things.
And we should come to know all of these things
about Jesus. Amen. The Word was made flesh. That same
word that was in the beginning dwelt among us. John says,
we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only
(18:42):
begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. Verse fifteen.
John says he bore witness of him and cried, saying,
this was he. This is John the Baptist, by the way,
who was baptizing Amen, who was sent before Jesus, the
forerunner Amen. John the Baptist, for witness of Jesus cried saying,
this was he of whom I spake. He that cometh
(19:07):
after me is preferred before me. Look what John says,
for he was before me. John understood that Jesus is
the I Am, that he is the self existent, preexisting
a man again. Even though he came down from glory
(19:28):
in the incarnation in the miracle of the Virgin birth,
he always was, and that's why he would later also
testify again in the same Gospel of John when speaking
with the Jews. Before Abraham was I am, I always was,
I always will be, and of his fullness Verse sixteen.
(19:52):
Have we all received and grace for grace for the
law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came
by Jesus Christ. No man verse eighteen hath seen God
at any time the only begotten son, who is in
the bosom of the Father he hath declared him. In
(20:14):
other words, this was the purpose of the manifestation, a
man of Jesus coming into flesh, so we could see
God in the flesh. You can't see God in all
of his glory, God in spirit, God in Heaven, God
on the throne, A man in your mere mortal sin.
(20:34):
Feel unglorified if you will, body of flesh a man.
Only after we have been changed, only after we have
been a man raptured up to glory. Will we see God, Amen,
in all of his fools. And the Bible tell us,
by the way, we're going to see him face to face. Amen,
(20:56):
we shall be like him. We shall see Him as
he is in all of his glory. But we cannot.
No man can see God and live. A man in
this sinful, a man because God is holy, Amen, and
we can't even approach unto his presence. There have been
those who have been caught up to glory, a man
(21:17):
in the sense that they were transfigured a man, Paul
being one, Isaiah being one, and others a man that
have a man. John, of course, the one who wrote
this gospel and the revelation. He also a man was
taken up a man while he was imprisoned out of patents,
to see all kinds of a man, things that a
(21:39):
man that are unspeakable in many regards, and things that
he couldn't even write in some In some respects, but
only a select few have a man been transfigured, as
it were, or or carried up in the spirit, as
it were, to see God, to the throne of God,
(22:01):
to see the glory of God. And know for a
fact that once you see, once you taste, once you
are in the presence of the majesty and the splendor
of the Almighty. There I mean, you cannot be the same.
You will not be the same. Amen. Verse twenty six.
(22:22):
Let's go down. We're almost concluding here. Verse twenty six.
John answered them, this is John the Baptists again, speaking
to those who had come to his baptism. He says,
I baptize with water. But their standeth one among you
whom you know not. Remember, the light shines into darkness,
and darkness does not comprehend. John tells us. By the
(22:44):
way a gospel writer John Jesus, when he came to
his own his own did not receive him. They didn't
know him. They should have been an expectation of him,
which they supposedly were, but when he came they missed it,
despite all of the prophecies that they had a man
(23:05):
at their disposal. So John says, I'm baptizing with water.
But there's one standing among you whom you don't even know.
Here it is he. It is who coming after me,
is preferred before me, whose shoes strap I am not
(23:29):
worthy to unloose. These things Verse twenty eight were not
in Bethabora, beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing. The
next day, watch this John saw Jesus coming unto him
and saying, behold the Lamb of God, who taketh away
(23:51):
the sin of the world. There it is the next point,
the next thing that we must know. Jesus is the eradicator,
the eliminator, the eraser of our sins. Behold the lamb
of God. Remember, the lamb is for the shedding the blood.
(24:16):
He's not, as the writer of Hebrews tells us, a
man the blood of bulls and ghats cannot take away sin.
He's not referring to an actual animal here, referring to
Jesus Christ the Lamb of God, the sacrificial lamb, a
man who would take away the sins of all who
(24:36):
would believe on him, obey him, trust him. Come to him,
the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of
the world. This is he of whom I said, after
me cometh a man who is preferred before me, For
he was before me, and I knew him not, but
that he should be made manifest to Israel. Therefore I
have come baptizing with water. And John Borrecord said, I
(25:00):
saw the spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and
it abode upon him, And I knew him not. But
he that sent me to baptize with water. The same
said unto me, upon whom thou shalt see the spirit
(25:22):
descending and remaining on him. This is the last point
we're gonna emphasize. The same is he that baptizeth with
the Holy Ghost. Final point. Jesus is the one who
baptizes us with the Holy Ghost. He said, I will
(25:50):
send the promise of the Father, the Spirit of Truth,
the Holy Spirit, the comforter Amen, to be with you,
to be in you, to never leave you, to never
forsake you. He will testify of me amen. Jesus alone
is the one who baptizes with the Holy ghost That's
(26:16):
why you must call upon his name in order to
be saved. Neither is there salvation in any other There
is none of the name given among men, whereby the
Bible says we must be saved. Salivation is in the
(26:41):
name of Jesus, because he alone is the disseminator, the
one who sends, the one who baptizes with the holy ghosts. Again,
let's recap very quickly. We're done. Jesus is the beginning
(27:03):
of all things. Jesus is the maker or the creator
of all things. Jesus is the life of all things.
Jesus is the light of and for all things. Jesus
is the incarnation of God manifested in flesh. God was
(27:26):
in Christ, the Bible tells us, reconciling the world unto himself.
He is the very embodiment of God. Jesus is the
source of grace and truth. Jesus is the eradicator, eliminator,
eraser if you will of our sins. And finally, Jesus
(27:52):
is the baptizer of the holy ghosts. You can own
be saved by him. He is the one and only
mediator between God and man. So again, all about Jesus,
All about Jesus. What you need to know, what you
(28:14):
need to believe, what you need to understand, and what
you need to do concerning him. And remember you cannot
be neutral. You must believe Jesus or not believe him. Amen.
(28:37):
Father again, thank you for the word, thank you for
the Savior, thank you for the hope, thank you for
the peace, thank you for this great salvation. We pray
that it will fall on ears, that we hear and
obey and come to know that you are the true
and the living God. Be glorified, be magnified. Today in
Jesus' name, we pray and give thanks. Amen and Amen,
