00:01 Thank you very much.
00:02 Well, we now go to a final comment from each one of you. 00:04 Let's start with Pastor James Rafferty. 00:06 Well, I was just thinking about the question concerning 00:08 the cleansing of sin, you know, 00:11 not only that Jesus took all of our sins, 00:13 the Lamb that takes away the sins of the world, 00:15 but He wants to take away our personal sins in our lives 00:17 now that we wrestle with. 00:19 And I thought about that in relation 00:21 to Revelation Chapter 13, and the mark of the beast, 00:24 and a time when we can't buy or sell. 00:26 And sometimes we look at that negatively, 00:27 but I think it's going to be positive 00:29 if we look at it from this perspective, 00:31 the inability for us to be able to buy or sell 00:33 and engage in the commerce of the world is actually going 00:37 to help us to overcome sin because it's going to cut off 00:40 a lot of temptations that we now face. 00:43 Thank you. Amen. 00:44 And speaking of the eternal nature of Christ 00:46 before the world, you know, Jesus even said in John 17:5, 00:50 "And now, O Father, glorify Me together 00:53 with Yourself with the glory 00:54 which we had before the world was." 00:58 And so, when you begin to study the existence of Christ, 01:00 He's called the Redeemer in the Old Testament, 01:02 and we know that Redeemer is Christ, 01:05 as Revelation 5:9 says, "Have redeemed us to God 01:08 by His blood." 01:09 So yeah, understand that Jesus, 01:11 He didn't just come into the scene. 01:13 He couldn't be created 01:14 or He could not redeem creation. 01:16 Creation cannot redeem creation. 01:19 Thank you. Amen. Amen. 01:20 You know, I read 1 John 1:9 earlier, 01:22 "If we confess our sins, He's faithful 01:24 and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us 01:26 from all unrighteousness." 01:28 You know, why in the world should we die 01:30 for our sins when Jesus has already died for them? 01:32 Salvation is free and it takes a person 01:35 who's completely lost their mind 01:36 not to be able to partake of that free gift. 01:38 So I encourage you, my friends, 01:40 give your heart to Jesus today. 01:41 The purpose of this program 01:43 is not just to throw out information, 01:44 but that we may all be drawn to our loving Savior, 01:47 Jesus Christ. 01:48 Thank you to each and every one of you, 01:50 and thank you for joining us. 01:51 Thank you for sending in your questions. 01:52 I leave you with 2 Timothy 3:16-17, 01:56 "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, 02:00 and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, 02:04 for instruction in righteousness: 02:05 that the man of God may be complete, 02:08 thoroughly equipped for every good work." 02:10 God bless you. |
