Speaker 1: Great is the Lord. Great is the Lord, and he
0:16
Speaker 1: is greatly to be praised. We welcome you once again
0:20
Speaker 1: to this another edition of End Time Revival Ministries USA podcast.
0:27
Speaker 1: I am your host, Pastor al Zachary, And again we
0:32
Speaker 1: are blessed and highly favored by the Lord. Thank God
0:37
Speaker 1: again for his divine mercy new every morning, his faithfulness
0:44
Speaker 1: to us. God is good, and we praise him for
0:50
Speaker 1: again his blessings and his benefits, and his love and
0:54
Speaker 1: his kindness, and his patience and his forgiveness. All of
0:59
Speaker 1: the things that God has a man so freely given
1:03
Speaker 1: to us.
1:04
Speaker 2: We owe him praise.
1:07
Speaker 1: Oh that man would, Oh that man would, praise the
1:11
Speaker 1: Lord and give glory and honor to him, the honor
1:16
Speaker 1: that is due to his great name. Everything that has
1:19
Speaker 1: breath is to praise the Lord.
1:23
Speaker 2: Amen. And so again we.
1:24
Speaker 1: Are thankful, thankful, thankful, grateful, grateful, grateful to the Lord
1:31
Speaker 1: for Amen enabling us and counting us worthy to be
1:36
Speaker 1: partakers of this great hope and salvation, and also enabling
1:41
Speaker 1: us to be ministers of His word. God has entrusted
1:46
Speaker 1: us a man, He has deposited in us a man,
1:50
Speaker 1: this great ministry, this great responsibility. This great gospel the
1:57
Speaker 1: power of God unto salvation to every one that believes.
2:01
Speaker 2: Amen.
2:01
Speaker 1: And therefore we do not take it lightly. But we,
2:07
Speaker 1: as we have been entrusted, seek to always be found
2:11
Speaker 1: pleasing to God in faithfully executing Amen, in the ministry
2:19
Speaker 1: of his word.
2:21
Speaker 2: Amen. All right, today we continue.
2:23
Speaker 1: We're in the Gospel of John, one of my favorite
2:26
Speaker 1: I mean, so many favorites, so many favorites, and I
2:29
Speaker 1: love the Gospel of John. But though because there's so
2:33
Speaker 1: much dialogue exclusively recorded in John's gospel between Jesus and
2:41
Speaker 1: his adversaries, and also I love, of course all of
2:47
Speaker 1: the things that Jesus himself had to say. And I
2:50
Speaker 1: think we should always pay close attention and give high
2:57
Speaker 1: high regard to every word that proceeds out of the
3:02
Speaker 1: mouth of the Lord. And even at the end of
3:06
Speaker 1: this great gospel, where Jesus has been now taken into
3:10
Speaker 1: custody and will now stand trial as it were illegal,
3:16
Speaker 1: although it was on charges that were bogus, and all
3:25
Speaker 1: of that. We won't delve into all of that. But nevertheless,
3:28
Speaker 1: what Jesus had to say, I still am fascinated by
3:33
Speaker 1: his responses in the midst of all of this, Amen,
3:40
Speaker 1: all all of the shenanigans that they you know, went through.
3:44
Speaker 2: And this is this is the nature of man.
3:47
Speaker 1: This is the betrayal of the heart of man toward
3:53
Speaker 1: his Creator, the rebellion that's sent us. Nevertheless, Amen, if
4:00
Speaker 1: we thank God that it was all in the plan
4:03
Speaker 1: of God and in the mind of God before the
4:06
Speaker 1: foundation of the world. By the way the Lamb of
4:08
Speaker 1: God was slain before the foundation of the world, God
4:13
Speaker 1: had us in mind. He would not leave us in
4:15
Speaker 1: the condition in which we fail, but he made the
4:19
Speaker 1: way for us to escape, and we are grateful for that.
4:23
Speaker 1: So in the eighteenth chapter of the Gospel of Johnice
4:27
Speaker 1: where we're again focusing our attention on today, So if
4:31
Speaker 1: you have your Bibles, you can go there with us
4:34
Speaker 1: Junge Gospel chapter eighteen. We're going to read a few
4:37
Speaker 1: verses there in just a few moments. But of course,
4:40
Speaker 1: as always I want to thank each and every one
4:42
Speaker 1: of you who pray for and support the work of
4:44
Speaker 1: this ministry. Amen, we pray that you will, if you
4:51
Speaker 1: have not already, become a subscriber number one, and then
4:54
Speaker 1: of course please by all means share it with someone else.
4:58
Speaker 2: Amen. It's a simple in most cases.
5:00
Speaker 1: As sending a text message with the link where they
5:04
Speaker 1: can a man access a man the number. I think
5:10
Speaker 1: we're over two hundred now, I believe podcasts episodes as
5:15
Speaker 1: we transition, by the way years ago, several years ago
5:19
Speaker 1: from radio to the podcast ministry. We have over two
5:24
Speaker 1: hundred episodes I believe now in our podcast archives. So Amen,
5:33
Speaker 1: we endeavor to preach and teach the word of the Lord,
5:36
Speaker 1: and again thank God for all of you, pray for
5:39
Speaker 1: and support this ministry. And we pray as always that
5:43
Speaker 1: the word of the Lord will have free course. And
5:45
Speaker 1: we pray that God's word will find its way into
5:49
Speaker 1: the heart of men and women, especially those who are lost,
5:53
Speaker 1: that they will come to know that Jesus is the way,
5:57
Speaker 1: the only way, that Jesus is the Christ, the Mistake, Sigah,
6:00
Speaker 1: the Savior and the hope of salvation for all men everywhere,
6:07
Speaker 1: by the way, all men everywhere. So that is our prayer,
6:10
Speaker 1: that is our endeavor. And we again want to thank
6:13
Speaker 1: God for each of you, and we pray that again
6:16
Speaker 1: you will share.
6:17
Speaker 2: It with someone else. Amen.
6:20
Speaker 1: Before we begin John's Gospel chapter eighteen, let's take a moment, Amen,
6:26
Speaker 1: as we acknowledge the Lord Father again, thank you, thank you,
6:29
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you, thank you, on this beautiful, glorious,
6:32
Speaker 1: splendid day, that we enjoy the life all of the
6:38
Speaker 1: benefits and the blessings that come from you, Old Lord,
6:42
Speaker 1: we might have life and have it more abundantly. So
6:45
Speaker 1: thank you for all of the gifts, the good gifts
6:48
Speaker 1: that come from above. Every good and perfect gift comes
6:52
Speaker 1: down from you, Old Lord, and so we are mindful
6:54
Speaker 1: of these things. We take nothing for granted. Thank you
6:57
Speaker 1: for supplying all of our need according to You're rich
7:00
Speaker 1: in glory, food, clothing, shelter, your divine protection of your people.
7:06
Speaker 1: The Angel of the Lord is encamped around about them
7:08
Speaker 1: that fear him. So we Lord, want to acknowledge you
7:12
Speaker 1: in all of our ways, that you may continually direct
7:15
Speaker 1: our pathway and lead us in the way of life everlasting.
7:19
Speaker 1: God be glorified in your people everywhere. It's in the
7:22
Speaker 1: name of Jesus the Christ. We praying your thanks, Amen
7:25
Speaker 1: and Amen. Judge Gospel chapter eighteen. Our focus is on
7:30
Speaker 1: this thought, not a secret doctrine, Not a secret doctrine.
7:44
Speaker 2: Verse nineteen. We'll begin reading there.
7:45
Speaker 1: The High Priest then asked Jesus about his disciples and
7:51
Speaker 1: his doctrine. Jesus answered him, I spoke openly to the world.
8:02
Speaker 1: I always talk in synagogues and in the temple, where
8:08
Speaker 1: the Jews always meet, and in secret I have said nothing.
8:18
Speaker 1: Why do you ask me? Ask those who have heard
8:24
Speaker 1: me what I said to them. Indeed, they know what
8:32
Speaker 1: I said. And when he had said these things, one
8:36
Speaker 1: of the officers who stood by struck Jesus with the
8:39
Speaker 1: palm of his hand, saying, do you answer the high
8:41
Speaker 1: priest like that? Jesus answered him, if I have spoken, evil,
8:49
Speaker 1: bear witness of the evil. But if well, why do
8:57
Speaker 1: you strike me? Oh?
9:04
Speaker 2: Wow, I love it. I love it. I love it.
9:07
Speaker 2: I love it. I love it.
9:08
Speaker 1: Jesus first and foremost, of course, knew and understood what
9:14
Speaker 1: was taking place. They thought they were in control. They
9:18
Speaker 1: thought they were in charge. They had apprehended Jesus in
9:21
Speaker 1: the garden by the assistance with the assistance of the
9:25
Speaker 1: betrayal betrayer Judas, a man who sold Jesus out for
9:30
Speaker 1: the price of a slave. No less, Jesus was in
9:35
Speaker 1: full control. The plan of God was being executed exactly
9:39
Speaker 1: and precisely as it had been predetermined in eternity past,
9:45
Speaker 1: and while Jesus was here, even up until this very
9:51
Speaker 1: present time, his earthly ministry had been executed in the
9:56
Speaker 1: open marketplace for the com people.
10:02
Speaker 2: And as well as all of the.
10:05
Speaker 1: Nobles and the rulers, to access his ministry, his teachings,
10:12
Speaker 1: his preaching, and to certainly adhere to it. Jesus did
10:19
Speaker 1: not come to minister exclusively to some secret society or
10:24
Speaker 1: fraternity or club of elites as it were, who would then,
10:30
Speaker 1: of course, dispense his teachings as they please.
10:36
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
10:38
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, Paul writes, I believe it's
10:41
Speaker 1: in Corinthians, the first letter that he wrote about how
10:45
Speaker 1: not many mighty, not many noble or call, but God
10:49
Speaker 1: has chosen the base things.
10:51
Speaker 2: I mean.
10:52
Speaker 1: He came to fishermen and tax collectors and people who
10:57
Speaker 1: were of low standing, if you will, in the culture
11:04
Speaker 1: and the society.
11:05
Speaker 2: He didn't come to the elites. He didn't come to some.
11:07
Speaker 1: Secret society fraternity, amen and and met and and and
11:16
Speaker 1: would by the way, meet only with them exclusively.
11:19
Speaker 2: No, that's not what Jesus did.
11:22
Speaker 1: And although he did choose twelve men to later become
11:27
Speaker 1: his witnesses. He did not limit his doctrine, his teaching,
11:31
Speaker 1: his preaching to them secretly in seclusion. So when the
11:37
Speaker 1: High Priest questions Jesus about his disciples and about his doctrine,
11:43
Speaker 1: they were not at all interested in conducting a fair trial.
11:48
Speaker 1: They were not interested in learning the truth. They were
11:51
Speaker 1: not interested in learning about Jesus and his disciples and
11:55
Speaker 1: his doctrine, all of the things that he had taught. Now,
11:57
Speaker 1: mind you, Jesus had been teaching for three and a
11:59
Speaker 1: half years roughly, and so to give now a summation
12:06
Speaker 1: of his teachings in this few moments standing before this priest,
12:12
Speaker 1: high priest brother, and this council illegal, by the way,
12:17
Speaker 1: was simply them not again seeking to conduct a fair trial,
12:22
Speaker 1: not seeking to learn the truth. But rather they were
12:26
Speaker 1: looking for Jesus to say something in which they would
12:31
Speaker 1: be able to trap him, if you will, and have
12:38
Speaker 1: an occasion to accuse him, because they had already made
12:41
Speaker 1: up their mind, they had already determined in their secret meetings.
12:45
Speaker 1: By the way, see, they are the ones who met
12:47
Speaker 1: together and decided beforehand that Jesus had.
12:51
Speaker 2: To be eliminated. Jesus must be killed.
12:55
Speaker 1: And again, Jesus didn't do anything in secret, as he said,
13:05
Speaker 1: He made public statements and declarations about himself and further
13:10
Speaker 1: demonstrated by his omnipotent.
13:12
Speaker 2: Power publicly.
13:16
Speaker 1: The authority that was in him when he did all
13:19
Speaker 1: of those miracles, designs and wonders, raising people from the dead,
13:23
Speaker 1: healing on the Sabbath day, in the temple, in the synagogues,
13:27
Speaker 1: or wherever, Amen, he did what he did, he did
13:31
Speaker 1: it publicly.
13:33
Speaker 2: Amen.
13:34
Speaker 1: It was only hidden from those who wilfully rejected Jesus,
13:43
Speaker 1: his teachings, his doctrine, his messiahship, his ministry, was only
13:50
Speaker 1: hidden from those who willfully did not want to see,
13:55
Speaker 1: did not want to hear, did not want to know.
13:58
Speaker 2: It was plain to see.
14:00
Speaker 1: It was there for them to believe while Jesus was
14:04
Speaker 1: on this earth.
14:05
Speaker 2: And it is still I mean, I'm here to tell.
14:09
Speaker 1: You it is still plain to see and believe in
14:15
Speaker 1: the doctrine that Jesus made known to this world. Why because,
14:21
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, it was not done in secret, and
14:27
Speaker 1: it is not a secret doctrine. It's not a secret doctrine.
14:35
Speaker 1: The problem is not revelation. The problem is not inspiration.
14:40
Speaker 1: The problem is delusion and unbelief. God is spoken, the
14:47
Speaker 1: heavens declare his glory, the creation, the whole of creation screams,
14:54
Speaker 1: there is a creator. Man is fearfully and wonderfully made
14:59
Speaker 1: in the image of God. Make no mistake about it.
15:06
Speaker 1: Church of the Living God, People of God. The doctrine
15:12
Speaker 1: of Jesus Christ is not a secret doctrine, even though
15:20
Speaker 1: I'm talking about even now today, right now, in this
15:23
Speaker 1: present world, those who do not believe in and those
15:29
Speaker 1: who do not obey the doctrine of Jesus, they are
15:35
Speaker 1: knowledgeable enough about his teachings I'm talking about right now today,
15:40
Speaker 1: and they understand that Jesus was unquestionably the most profoundly
15:48
Speaker 1: impactful and influential man to ever speak in the history
15:53
Speaker 1: of man's existence. Whether they will openly acknowledge it or not,
15:59
Speaker 1: they know. Those who adhere to other religions know about Jesus.
16:04
Speaker 1: They even quote Jesus.
16:10
Speaker 2: Use his sayings.
16:13
Speaker 1: Of course, they want to do it, you know, to
16:17
Speaker 1: their own benefit or exclusively for whatever kind of deception
16:27
Speaker 1: they are wanting to, you know, use like this just
16:31
Speaker 1: again of their father, the devil, who would also take
16:36
Speaker 1: the word of God and had the unmitigated gall to
16:41
Speaker 1: use it on Jesus in the Temptation in the Wilderness.
16:45
Speaker 1: You remember, not even go and read it, how he
16:48
Speaker 1: took the word of God and of course attempted to
16:53
Speaker 1: use it on Jesus.
16:56
Speaker 2: Amen.
16:57
Speaker 1: So the world knows. The other religions so called they know,
17:04
Speaker 1: they know I mean Jesus again, without any question, without
17:10
Speaker 1: any argument, the most impactful, profoundly impactful, influential individual who
17:22
Speaker 1: has ever been on this planet, in all of the
17:29
Speaker 1: history of mankind's existence. No other individual is even a
17:37
Speaker 1: distant second. Here is a man whose mouth never spoke evil.
17:45
Speaker 1: Here is a man who embodied and spoke truth. Here's
17:51
Speaker 1: a man who had no guile nor deceit in him whatsoever, Jesus.
18:00
Speaker 1: And by the way, I defy anyone. There are some
18:03
Speaker 1: great individuals, great people, I mean, even from the Biblical perspective.
18:08
Speaker 2: Who lived, who we revere, who we respect.
18:13
Speaker 1: But not a single man or woman in the Bible who,
18:20
Speaker 1: by the way again, who were even commended by God himself.
18:27
Speaker 1: Not one of them were sinless, blameless, faultless, And even
18:37
Speaker 1: they themselves admit and would admit openly.
18:45
Speaker 2: That they were sinners.
18:50
Speaker 1: Only one, the only one, amen, And again he did
18:59
Speaker 1: not do any of his ministry.
19:05
Speaker 2: Secretly.
19:08
Speaker 1: And Jesus, by the way, challenged those who had the
19:13
Speaker 1: audacity to seek an accusation against him for speaking uh
19:19
Speaker 1: liberating truth, Uh to man uh to to all of
19:25
Speaker 1: us actually who are in the bondage of saying. He
19:28
Speaker 1: challenged them, if I have spoken evil, listen.
19:34
Speaker 2: Here here's the challenge.
19:35
Speaker 1: And I like again, just taking the words of Jesus,
19:39
Speaker 1: He said, if I have spoken evil, bear witness of
19:44
Speaker 1: the evil. Jesus put him to the child what evil
19:49
Speaker 1: and Pilot would later will see this, of course, Pilot,
19:52
Speaker 1: when examined in Jesus, what evil has he done? Pilot
19:56
Speaker 1: questioned Jesus, I find no fault in him. So Jesus
20:00
Speaker 1: put them to the challenge, and I defy anyone. What
20:04
Speaker 1: evil has Jesus spoken? And that's what he said. He
20:10
Speaker 1: put them to the challenge. If I have spoken evil,
20:15
Speaker 1: then testify against me. Speak against me, accuse me of the.
20:23
Speaker 2: Evil that I have spoken.
20:25
Speaker 1: But if I have spoken well, if I have spoken
20:29
Speaker 1: what is right, If I have testified to the truth.
20:34
Speaker 2: Then why do you strike me?
20:41
Speaker 1: See this is, by the way, this is the same
20:45
Speaker 1: devilish demonic response to the truth of God when it
20:50
Speaker 1: is being spoken, when it is being herald, when it
20:54
Speaker 1: is being preached and proclaimed openly.
20:59
Speaker 2: It is the violent suppression of the truth. That's exactly
21:04
Speaker 2: what it is.
21:04
Speaker 1: It's an attempt at, let's say, suppression of the truth. Now,
21:09
Speaker 1: of course, they wilfully do it in their minds. And
21:11
Speaker 1: this is why God gives people over to reprobation a man,
21:15
Speaker 1: they willfully reject the truth of God.
21:20
Speaker 2: Amen.
21:21
Speaker 1: And so this is what the demonic forces of hell,
21:25
Speaker 1: the embassaries.
21:27
Speaker 2: Of the devil do. They resort to violence when they
21:31
Speaker 2: cannot intimidate the truth from being spoken.
21:37
Speaker 1: And so this officer who stood by smoke Jesus on
21:45
Speaker 1: the mouth, why because he spoke the truth.
21:51
Speaker 2: He was the truth. He is the truth.
21:54
Speaker 1: By the way, the truth can never be deterred or
21:57
Speaker 1: intimidated by mere more man, nor can it be by
22:03
Speaker 1: the forces of the darkness of this world. You see,
22:07
Speaker 1: speaking God's truth openly and boldly in this world will
22:11
Speaker 1: quickly stir up opposition against the one who would dare
22:20
Speaker 1: to testify to the truth. All of the Old Testament prophets.
22:25
Speaker 1: If you obey with the Old Testament, all of them
22:29
Speaker 1: were persecuted, and many of them, if not perhaps all
22:35
Speaker 1: of them, were put to death, if not physically, they
22:44
Speaker 1: were slandered. And Jesus said, which of the prophets did
22:49
Speaker 1: not your father's persecute and slay?
22:54
Speaker 2: Why? Why?
22:57
Speaker 1: Because they openly, because they boldly confronted the wickedness of
23:04
Speaker 1: evil doers. You know why Jesus hated so, lady, gentlemen.
23:08
Speaker 2: He said it. He said it, and it's not me,
23:10
Speaker 2: it's not my opinion.
23:12
Speaker 1: The world hates me, Jesus said, because I testify that
23:17
Speaker 1: the deeds are wicked, are evil. When you called out evil,
23:25
Speaker 1: when you called out wickedness, when you speak the truth,
23:33
Speaker 1: the world doesn't like it. You will always be persecuted
23:40
Speaker 1: when you confront evil and wickedness. What the adversaries of
23:45
Speaker 1: the church absolutely hate is the open and bold proclamation
23:54
Speaker 1: of the word of God. That's what Jesus did. He said,
23:57
Speaker 1: I didn't do this in secret.
24:00
Speaker 2: Amen.
24:00
Speaker 1: And there will always be a tax on the truth
24:03
Speaker 1: and attempts again by the haters, by the demonic forces
24:11
Speaker 1: to silence those who speak the truth. Jesus again talk
24:16
Speaker 1: openly and boldly, and so must we as his church.
24:22
Speaker 1: The Church is not to be a secluded sect with
24:25
Speaker 1: a reclusive message.
24:26
Speaker 2: This gospel of salvation.
24:30
Speaker 1: Is not a secret doctrine. And let me close, and
24:37
Speaker 1: I'm going to close with this because love. I absolutely
24:40
Speaker 1: love this. I absolutely love this. The apostle Paul. This
24:45
Speaker 1: narrative that you can find. And if you have your
24:48
Speaker 1: Bible as you can turn quickly to Acts chapter twenty six.
24:51
Speaker 1: He was testifying before King Agrippa, and we find these
24:57
Speaker 1: words and I'm going to pick it up at number
25:00
Speaker 1: twenty two, Paul recounting his testimony of how the Lord
25:07
Speaker 1: saved him and made him a preacher, a witness of
25:13
Speaker 1: this great gospel. So verse twenty two, Acts twenty six,
25:19
Speaker 1: I'm reading from the ESV.
25:21
Speaker 2: By the way he.
25:23
Speaker 1: Says, to this day, I have had the help that
25:29
Speaker 1: comes from God. And so I stand here testifying, both
25:36
Speaker 1: too small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets
25:41
Speaker 1: and Moses said would come to pass, that the Christ
25:49
Speaker 1: must suffer, and that by being the first to rise
25:54
Speaker 1: from the dead, he would proclaim light both to our
26:00
Speaker 1: people and to the gentiles. And as he was saying
26:06
Speaker 1: these things in his defense, Festus said, with a loud voice, Paul,
26:14
Speaker 1: you are out of your mind. Your great learning is
26:19
Speaker 1: driving you out of your mind. But Paul said, I
26:27
Speaker 1: am not out of my mind, most excellent Festus, but
26:32
Speaker 1: I speak true and rational words.
26:40
Speaker 2: Listen to this verse twenty six. Final verse, For the king.
26:46
Speaker 1: Knows about these things, what things about Jesus, about what
26:52
Speaker 1: the prophets wrote about, what Moses spoke about, what the psalms.
26:57
Speaker 2: I mean, all of it.
27:01
Speaker 1: God has not spoken in secret. It's not a lack
27:05
Speaker 1: of revelation. It's not a lack of inspiration. It's not
27:09
Speaker 1: a lack of knowledge. This is wilful ignorance. Whatever ignorance exists,
27:17
Speaker 1: it is wilful. The king look at it again, verse
27:20
Speaker 1: twenty six. For the King knows about these things, and
27:25
Speaker 1: to him I speak boldly, for I am persuaded that
27:31
Speaker 1: none of these things has escaped his notice.
27:35
Speaker 2: And I like what the king.
27:36
Speaker 1: James Virgin says also, none of these things are hidden
27:40
Speaker 1: from him. But listen to these last few words, for
27:46
Speaker 1: this has not been done in a corner. All of
27:56
Speaker 1: the things concerning Jesus concern his coming into the world.
28:01
Speaker 1: Long before he came into the world. By the way, again,
28:06
Speaker 1: it was prophesied through the prophets Moses, Jesus God himself,
28:12
Speaker 1: in a matter of fact, in the guard of Eden.
28:15
Speaker 1: The prophecies beforehand concerning Jesus coming into the world, suffering, dying,
28:24
Speaker 1: coming to the gentiles, and the gentiles coming to him,
28:29
Speaker 1: all of it, none of.
28:33
Speaker 2: It is hidden.
28:37
Speaker 1: All of it is open, has been declared. Paul said,
28:44
Speaker 1: the king knows, for none of this has been done
28:52
Speaker 1: in a corner. It was not done in secret. Jesus
28:57
Speaker 1: talked and preached openly. He rode into the city where
29:03
Speaker 1: we celebrate Palm Sunday. Jesus rode into the city on
29:08
Speaker 1: that donkey, as prophesied by the way Zachariah ninety nine.
29:14
Speaker 2: He rode into the city openly.
29:19
Speaker 1: He was condemned by the multitude, the chief priests, and
29:23
Speaker 1: the elders and the scribes. They stirred up the people,
29:26
Speaker 1: some of them perhaps the same who had been waving
29:30
Speaker 1: the palm branches, and took their clothing off and laid
29:35
Speaker 1: them down in the streets, and Hosannah, blessed is he
29:38
Speaker 1: who comes in the name of the Lord.
29:40
Speaker 2: Some of the same people openly.
29:43
Speaker 1: Condemned him and said, crucify him, crucify him, and give
29:47
Speaker 1: us a rabbits. It wasn't done in a corner. And then,
29:54
Speaker 1: of course Jesus was crucified on that rugged cross, on
30:01
Speaker 1: a heel.
30:04
Speaker 2: Openly.
30:07
Speaker 1: This thing was not done in a corner. Jesus ministry
30:13
Speaker 1: was not secret and secluded and limited to the elite,
30:20
Speaker 1: to the few. No, no, no, ladies and gentlemen, this
30:27
Speaker 1: is not a secret doctrine. God has spoken, We have heard,
30:39
Speaker 1: and we know, and it's simply a matter of believing, receiving,
30:47
Speaker 1: and obeying the truth that sets the captive free. And
30:54
Speaker 1: to this end we pray this day, Lord, that your work,
30:57
Speaker 1: your truth, will penetrate within the hearts, and that people
31:03
Speaker 1: will turn from their ways and acknowledge you, and honor you,
31:11
Speaker 1: and fall before your feet cry out unto you, O Lord,
31:17
Speaker 1: you will hear the cry of the humble, the broken
31:20
Speaker 1: heart in the country spirit. You will in no wise despise.
31:23
Speaker 1: And we pray even now that somewhere someone will come
31:28
Speaker 1: to know that you are the true in the living God.
31:31
Speaker 2: Save Lord. Let the king hear us when we call
