where did she go come on up going to have my 11-year-old daughter come up and she's going to sing clean by
Natalie Grant I hope that you're blessed as she does
this last week I really spent a lot of time in prayer seeking the Lord not
that I don't always do that but in anticipation of Resurrection Sunday I took some time
prayed fasted and really sought the Lord and I'll be very candid and explained you why this
year was a little more intense my sense is is that well let me back up let me tell you what I petition
the throne concerning I don't want to get up on Resurrection Sunday and just preach
a canned sermon and just have it be you know kind of same old same old I didn't sense that
the Lord was going to for lack of a better way of saying it let me get away with that
that there's no time for that and so I sought the Lord and He impressed upon my heart something
that He's really been ministering to me as of late you say pastor you said every
week we'll that's because the Lord's been ministering a lot to me as of late and it seems like there's
always something that the Lord is trying to speak into my life and what the Lord really
ministered to me is that Resurrection Sunday is a day that those who are distant from the
Lord can come back to the Lord and perhaps more importantly those who don't know the
Lord can come to a saving knowledge of the Lord and that's what I want to talk about today it's
my belief that in this day and age in which we live especially here in Hawaii life is
hard when somebody says to you hey how's life treating you I always like to answer life is
treating me terribly but God is good life is hard but God is good life is busy I don't
think that I'm that much different than you but isn't it true that life seems to be getting
busier and even harder and more stressful and more expensive and it seems to be increasing
with that intensity and what's happened I believe is that it has drawn us away from
the Lord the busyness of our lives and so I'm just going to be very bold and say that
for those of us who have maybe become distant from the Lord I think that the plea is that
today we need to come back to the Lord and we need to return to our first love like the
church of Ephesus in the book of Revelation they had done so well and then as time went
on they became distant from the Lord and Jesus had John write this letter to them and it
was really a rebuke to them to come back to Him to return to their first love they hadn't
lost their first love they had left it that's an important distinction to make so what I want to do today
is have you turn in your Bibles to Mark's gospel chapter 16 and I want to read verses
one through 14 and if you're able I'll ask you to stand you can follow along as I read if not that's
all right where you're seated we'll begin in verse one where Mark by the Holy Spirit
is writing and he says now verse one when the Sabbath was passed Mary Magdalene Mary
the mother of James and Salome bought spices that they might come and anoint Him very early
in the morning on the first day of the week they came to the tomb when the sun had risen
and verse 3 they said among themselves who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb
for us when they looked up they saw that the stone had been rolled away for it was very
large and entering the tomb they saw a young man clothed in a long white robe sitting on
the right side and they were alarmed but he said to them do not be alarmed you see Jesus
of Nazareth who was crucified He is risen He is not here see the place where they laid Him
but go tell his disciples and Peter oh hang on to that I want to talk about that that He is going
before you into Galilee there you will see Him as He said to you so verse 8 they went
out quickly and fled from the tomb for they trembled and were amazed and they said nothing
to anyone for they were afraid now when He rose early on the first day of the week He
appeared first to Mary Magdalene out of whom He had cast seven demons she went and told
those who had been with HIm as they mourned and wept and verse 11 when they heard that
he was alive and had been seen by her they did not believe after that he appeared in
another form to two of them as they walked and went into the country and they went and
told it to the rest but they did not believe them either later he appeared to the 11 as
they sat at the table and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart because they
did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen would you pray with me
loving Heavenly Father we're standing here in this beautiful church and there's an anticipation
in our hearts that You're going to the minister to us today on this resurrection Sunday that
You speak to us in and through Your word and in this time that we have together today in
Your word so Lord would You as only You can speak into our lives very clearly if need
be very personally and very powerfully thank You Lord in Jesus' name Amen you can be seated thank
you so much the reason I chose Mark's Gospel account is
because like with many other places in Scripture there are some very interesting and specific
details that are within the text and such is the case in verse seven where the women were
instructed to tell the disciples and Peter which if you think about it is it's almost kind of like
a dis in a way it's come like when somebody says ah gentleman and JD as if to imply
that I'm not a gentleman while it's like tell the disciples and Peter I don't think it was like that
as if to infer that Peter was not one of the disciples I hope you know that's not the case
here there's a reason that we have this detail within the text and within Marks account and
I want to for us to focus our attention on the why why we have these two words and Peter
when they're told to go and tell the disciples why the emphasis on Peter particularly why
didn't they just say simply go tell the disciples it's almost as if it's go tell the disciples
and make sure to tell Peter why why Peter in particular we're going to answer that but in order
to do that we need to first fill in some of the blanks from Luke's gospel I'll have you
turn to Luke chapter 22 we're going to be there for basically the remainder of our time today
in Luke's Gospel we have kind of the blanks filled in with what happened prior actually
that week prior to the crucifixion and then subsequently the resurrection and it actually
started with what we affectionately refer to as the Last Supper which we're going to
celebrate to day as we partake together of the communion at the end of the service which
I'm really looking forward to Luke writes that as they're celebrating Passover together
Jesus imagine the scene they're sitting there reclined at the table and by the way
that I'm sorry for to ruin your you know Last Supper paintings they weren't seated at a table they
were actually reclined on the floor as was the custom in that day and they're seated there
and they have just partaken of the broken bread and the cup and Jesus turns to Peter
and says something to him that is just utterly astonishing he says to him Peter Satan has
asked for permission for you to sift you as wheat I want you to follow along as I read
verses 31 through 35 the Lord said Simon Simon indeed Satan has asked for you that he may
sift you as wheat I can just imagine what Peter's thinking wait satan asked You
for permission to sift me You told him no right no I gave him permission You did why would
You do that oh you'll say on Thursday nights in the book of Job we're learning how it is
that God will never allow the devil to do anything to us unless it ultimately in the
end is for our good and for His glory and that's what is going to can happen here by the way so Jesus says but
I have prayed for you that your faith should not fail interesting that your courage but
your faith and when you have returned to Me key strengthen your brethren listen to Peter's response
he said to Him Lord I am ready to go with You both to prison and to death you've got to love Peter
and then He said I tell you Peter the rooster shall not crow this day before you will deny
me three times that you know Me well shortly after this Jesus gets up and as was often
the case He goes of the mount of olives to pray and the disciples follow Him and when
they get there Jesus goes off by Himself to pray and before He does He says to the disciples
you pray that you may not enter into temptation pray and watch pray and watch that you do not enter
into temptation so He goes off to pray He comes back and He finds them sleeping instead
of praying and He says to them you couldn't watch just for one hour you couldn't pray and as
he's speaking they come and arrest Him when Peter sees that their arresting Jesus he takes
this is the courage of Peter which is going to be germane to our understanding of
what we're going to see here he failed in the area of his greatest strength Jesus said
I pray that your faith may not fail his faith is not been a failed his courage is and if there
was ever a man that was courageous it was Peter in that courage that fearless courage he takes
his sword any cuts off the ear of the high priest's servant Malchus and Jesus heals him
touches the ear heals his ear and I can sort of picture the scene and I can sort
of imagine Peter just being mortified because he totally missed what was happening there
well in verse 54 Luke's gospel chapter 22 let's pick it up having arrested Him they
lead Him and brought Him into the high priest's house but and I want you to pay particular attention
to what it says here it says Peter followed at a distance now when they had kindled a
fire in the midst of the courtyard and sat down together Peter sat among them and verse
56 a certain serving girl seeing him as he sat by the fire looked intently at him and
said this man was also with Him but he denied Him saying will I do not know Him and after
a little while another saw him and said you also are of them but Peter said man I am not
and after about an hour had passed that must've been a long hour for Peter another confidently
affirmed saying surely this fellow also was with Him for he is a Galilean but Peter said verse
60 man I do not know what you are saying immediately while he was still speaking imagine this the
rooster crows and verse 61 I can't even begin to imagine the Lord turned and looked at Peter
I wonder what kind of a look He gave I wonder if Peter could even look Him in the eyes never imagine that the
look that Jesus gave him was one of anger one of disappointment no certainly it was
not a look of I told you so Peter no I think that when He turned and looked at
Peter He had a look of such love and compassion and kindness and mercy and grace oh Peter Peter then Peter
remembered the word of the Lord how He had said to him before the rooster crows you will
deny Me three times so verse 62 Peter went out and wept bitterly
woven into the fabric of Luke's account we have our answer to the aforementioned question
of why they're told to make sure that they not only tell the disciples but they make
sure specifically that they tell Peter Peter is absolutely devastate he has done that which
he vowed never to do that which he in his wildest imagination never thought he would
do he's done the unthinkable he was ashamed of Jesus he was ashamed to be associated
with this Man that was being taken to the cross to be crucified he's not only ashamed
of Jesus he has just denied Jesus three times seems than Satan has succeeded in sifting
him as wheat and now Peter he's got to be thinking to himself I have totally blown it his whole world
has come crashing down now he's denied Jesus whom he loves so much I think of Peter's personality
it explains a lot you know the the outbursts I see Peter as been a very emotional guy
I see them as being a very passionate guy certainly a very courageous guy Peter's the king of guy
that you want to have as a friend I just kind of like his personality I can't wait to
meet him in heaven I feel bad for him I think he gets a lot of bad press wouldn't you agree
but it's over as far as he's concerned he has denied his Lord surely God is through with him
by the way I know that's what he's thinking not because I can read his mind but because
he goes back to his fishing business that's it he's done it's over but God but God is not
through with Peter what Peter doesn't yet know what he can't yet know is that Jesus
has a plan for him not to harm him but to prosper and bless and restore him and give
him a future and the hope do you think that Jesus is angry with Peter if you do please
know that He is absolutely not angry with Peter He loves Peter so much and not only does He restore
Peter and we know that He restores Peter three times once for each time that Peter denied
Him three times He restores him do you love Me Peter yes the third time he uses the word in the
Greek agape do you agape me Peter and Peter broke down and cried then just realized that
he was being restored and how much Jesus really loved him so much so and this to me ah how do I say this
it just it gets me especially as a pastor a preacher of God's word in the book of Acts chapter 2
I love this God chooses and uses Peter to be the first one to preach the gospel I wouldn't have done that
I'd have said not now he needs more time I'm not going to have him come speak at my competence he just
denied the Lord three times what are you talking about are you kidding me no he's the first one that gives guys
like me hope God can take and He chooses and uses the foolish to confound the wise He uses a Peter to preach
the gospel in all of its power and all of these people get saved through this flawed vessel
this denier of Jesus Christ here's where I'm going with this
we're all like Peter aren't we aren't we just as prone to become distant from the Lord
you say well hey listen I with all due respect pastor I've never denied the Lord well wait wait wait
what about those times when you were ashamed to let someone know that you were a Christian
you were embarrassed what about that how about that opportunity that the Lord
presented you to share the gospel and you cowered and faltered and failed because you were
ashamed of the gospel you were ashamed to be associated with Jesus because of what it
might cost I find it interesting and it is really subtle satan is so subtle he got to Peter
he sifted Peter but it didn't just happen instantaneously it was a siftings a process
the was just this this process of time where slowly and gradually you find Peter more comfortable
sitting amongst the world and the the fire of the world and the details of how that
when they arrested Jesus it says and Peter there's those two words together and Peter followed
from afar off he was kind of at a distance from the Lord now
to me and this is something the Lord just king of struck me with is that it started with of all things
prayer this is where it starts if Satan can get us to stop praying he's got us you know why because
that's the deciding factor we're sleeping instead of praying we're not watching and praying he
sort of lullabies us into a spiritual slumber and drowsiness he doesn't want us praying
that's why it is by the way when you set your foot to pray then all of a sudden a drowsiness
comes over your eyes a heaviness comes on your eyes and your mind begins to wander and
the phone begins to ring and then somebody's at the door and oh I've got an email
or somebody's coming or how about that text
he will do everything and stop at nothing to keep us from praying
and then once he gets us to stop praying then the distancing begins and then it's not long before
in that distance from the Lord we find ourselves more comfortable with the world more comfortable
in worldly environments and then it's not long before we're denying the Lord that's the
tactic that's the strategy you know before we come to Christ satan will do everything he can
to keep us from coming to Christ but when we come to Jesus Christ and the saving knowledge
of Jesus Christ and he changes strategies he regroups and now his whole strategy is
to get us away from the Lord distant from the Lord and it's very subtle the ways that he
does it he busies us with the cares and the affairs of this life
I suppose it should come as no surprise that when Peter sees Jesus being arrested he reacts
by fighting a spiritual battle with carnal weapons you want to know why he's carnal
you know what I mean by carnal he's in the flesh that's with carnal means it means flesh next time
you buy a can of chili con carne you're buying chili with flash with meat that's what it sorry
I ruined your appetite for those that there's a carnality that sets in a worldliness that
sets in and here's what happens and it's textbook absent prayer we operate and we live our Christian
lives in the energy of the flash because we're carnal Christians we're worldly Christians
we've left our first love and we're not close to the Lord it's really interesting to me and it explains to me why it
is that Peter imagine I mean he rebukes the Lord how arrogant is that how self self-confident
is that I won't deny You Lord I will die for You Lord Peter is so full of himself it's
called pride and doesn't pride always without exception lead to the fall a haughty spirit
a fall pride to destruction that's what I mean by textbook you can write the next chapter
you can write the next chapter in Peter's life you can write the next chapter in your life
and in my life because when we're distant from the Lord it's all about self when were close
to the Lord we die to self and Jesus said if you really want to be My disciple and you want to follow
Me here's what you're going to have to do you're going to have to pick up your cross and deny your self not
Me deny yourself and follow Me if you want to be My disciple you have to die to yourself bear
with me please I have to
I have to be very transparent because I'm just as prone as you are oh but you're the pastor
I know don't think for a second that Satan hasn't asked for permission to sift me this
week and don't look at me all confident and everything he's asked for permission for you too
in my own life this sobers me because I love the Lord like
Peter loved the Lord I was loyal I'm just as devoted to you Lord
but this could've been me this could have been you here's the good news when not if we drift away
He's waiting with open arms for us to come back one of the most powerful and emotional
parables that Jesus ever taught was the parable of we refer to it as the prodigal son you have to understand
something about this parable and it's not so easily understood especially in our culture
in the United States of America in my culture in the Middle East you won't miss
it the father is waiting with anticipation for his prodigal son to return and when he
sees his son from afar from a distance coming back he runs to him he runs to him because men in that
culture to this day they don't do that that would be the ultimate humiliation that is
beneath the father to do he gathers his robe so he won't trip over it to run to his son returning to him
can you imagine He's waiting with open arms He'll run to you to welcome you back maybe
that's you here today you've drifted away come back come back come back home to Him
I mean let's be honest how's it working out for you anyway out there
no I'm asking how how's it working for you do you miss Him do you miss that intimacy that you once had
with Him that closeness do you have fond memories of what it was like when you were so close
with Him and He with you drew near to Him He drew near to you in return it was a love
that there are no words in the English language to describe don't you miss that He does He misses you and
He wants you to come back I'm even going to take a step further and suggest that He's orchestrated
the circumstances in your life to bring you back to that place and maybe for you it's not returning to the
Lord may be for someone here toda y it's turning to the Lord for the first time and that's why
you're here by the way or that's why you're watching this video you have no idea how you
got this video up on your computer screen I know how that you got this video on your
screen think about this could it be that the Lord
has arranged even choreographed the steps of your life heretofore to bring you to
this place today where you've come to the end of yourself you're so empty you're so unfulfilled
you're so discouraged and You're at the end truth be known you might even be hanging on by a
thread but God but God is waiting with open arms longing for you to come to Him He loves
you He's not angry with you He took all of His anger all of His wrath and He put it on
His only begotten son in your's in my stead that whosoever would believe in H im would
not perish in hell for all eternity I just thought of this I have to say
it now because I just said that so doubtless you also heard that Pope Francis said that
there's no such thing as hell what did Jesus come for then what is He saving
us from them I'm going to tell you and you forgive the bluntness with which I say this
but hell is forever and we're all going to spend eternity someplace it's either going
to be in heaven or in hell for all eternity if there's no hell there's no heaven and vice
versa and here's another thing and very important please listen God never sends anybody to help
He did not create hell for man He created eternity in heaven with Him for man it's not his will that
any should perish but that all should come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ that's why
He sent Jesus Christ to pay in full for the sins of all mankind so that we can be saved
from hell for all eternity and be with Him in heaven for all eternity that's why He came
that's why He died that's why He was buried and that's why He rose again and that's the
gospel that's the good news of salvation in Jesus Christ the bad news is is that we were
all born sinners the good news is that we were born again of the Spirit of God that
said is paid for and we're saved for all eternity I want to share with you the gospel what the
gospel is the word gospel simply means good news your debt has been paid your free that's
what the word gospel means the apostle Paul writing to the Corinthian church in Chapter
15 his first epistle verses one through four said that now brothers and sisters I want
to remind you of the gospel I preached to you which you received and on which you have taken
your stand by this gospel you are saved if you hold firmly to the word I preach to you otherwise
you have believed in vain for what I received I passed on to you as of first importance
and here's the gospel that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures that
He was buried that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures that is the gospel
now what are you going to do about it how are you going to respond to this good news I want
to share with you by way of what's known as very simply the ABCs of salvation simply put
this is how to be saved let me just share quickly even parenthetically nine months I see almost
as the gestation period before I was born again nine months before I was born again
I found a gospel tract in a public restroom sitting there just for me and the title of
the gospel tract was how to be saved and so I read it I kept it and that's when the seed
had met with the fertility of my heart to borrow a reproductive metaphor and it began
to grow and I was born again nine months later and this is what I want to share with you how
to be saved the ABCs of salvation that A is for admit that you're a sinner acknowledge
your sin before a righteous God that you've fallen short of the glory of God Romans 3:10
says there is no one righteous not even one Romans 3:23 says all have sinned and fallen short
of the glory of God again we've all been born sinners and this is why we must be born again
to see and enter the kingdom of heaven Romans six verse 23 says for the wages of sin is
death that's the bad news the death penalty but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ
Jesus our Lord that's the A here's the B the B is for believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is
Lord and that God raised Him from the dead this is Romans 10:9&10 it says if you
believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead you will be saved by the way
there's only one to tomb that you can go to in the entire world that is empty and it is
the tomb of Jesus the Christ and for those of you with that with us to Israel we've been
in that tomb for many it's the highlight of the entire trip there are no words again in
the English language as faulty as it is to describe what it's like to walk into a tomb
which by the way forensically they have never been able to find any evidence of any human
decomposition in that tomb you can go to Buddha's tomb I don't want to you can go to Muhammad's tomb
I really don't want to and they're there you can go to the tomb of Jesus the Christ He's not there
for He has risen that's the B here's the C it's for call upon the name of the Lord or if
you prefer confess with your mother this is what Romans 10 nine and 10 also says that
if you've confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised
him from the dead you will be saved for it is with your heart that you believe and are
justified and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved and lastly Romans 10:13
says all all who call upon the name of the Lord will be saved why don't you stand I want to have
the worship team at this time come up I want for our communion celebration on this
Resurrection celebration to be an opportunity for all of us and God knows our hearts for
all of us to do some business with the Lord you'll forget the crass way that I say that but
some of us need to do some business with the Lord I don't want to
well let me say it this way I do want to give the Holy Spirit the elbow room to do what
I believe he wants to do in our midst today and I make no assumptions the Lord knows your
heart and we see her outward appearance and oh by the way you all look (smack) marvelous today but the
Lord knows your heart and maybe you've wandered and maybe today He's saying to you come back
come back maybe today for someone here it's not come back its come come today's the day today's
the day today is the day of salvation I cannot think of a better day than on Resurrection
Sunday and I going to say one last thing and we'll have come up and get the elements and then
take them to your seat as the worship team leads us in song and then wait the elements
are prepackaged for sanitary reasons so just take them back to your seat and wait to partake together
but i'm going to ask you and this is very important please just give me one more minute here
if you've never called upon the name of the Lord and you're not going to make that decision by the way the
most important decision you will ever make in your life for eternal life if you're not to make that decision
today than I would just kindly ask that you not partake with us because partaking together
of the Lord's table is for believers to celebrate and commemorate that which He did for us in
dying for us and paying in full for us for all of our sins better if you've never called upon
the name of the Lord why don't you do that today before and then partake with us as we celebrate
the crucifixion burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ let's pray Father in heaven I
thank You so much Lord I would ask that nobody look at their watches think about what
they're going to do after that if someone needs to leave that they would leave at this time
so that we can have this time this intimacy with You Lord Lord I don't want to embarrass
anybody I don't want to make any kind of scene or anything oh Lord I do want to give You
the opportunity by the Holy Spirit as only You can to really do a work in this remaining
time that we have together as we partake together Lord thank You in Jesus' name Amen
why don't you go ahead and come on up and there's two tables in the front one in the back
if you're still in Luke's gospel chapter 22 I want to draw your attention to verses 14
through 20 this is where we have the account of the Last Supper where Luke by the Spirit
writes when the hour had come He speaking of Jesus sat down and the 12 apostles with Him
then He said to them with fervent desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you
before I suffered He knows He's about to go to the cross this is the matter of now hours
really for I say to you I will no longer eat of it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom
of God then he took the cup and gave thanks and said take this and divide it among yourselves
for I say to you I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes
and He took bread gave thanks and broke it and gave it to them saying this is My body
which is given for you do this in remembrance of Me if you take the packaging and peel back
the top part you'll find the bread there just take it out and hold onto it for a moment
I can't even begin to express just how what's the word I'm looking for there are
no words we're going to partake together of the communion on Resurrection Sunday wow the only word
I can think of is wow this is what it's all about we hold in our hand a symbol of
the body of Jesus Christ that was broken not the bones the body and Jesus there at that
Passover celebration with the disciples takes this bread this unleavened bread it could not
have leaven in it leaven this yeast a type or a picture of sin no he was without sin so the bread had
to be without leaven unleavened bread and in that culture to this day they eat from the same
piece of bread because the thought is is that that bread that's in you is the same bread that's
in me it's a common union communion in my Middle Eastern culture we eat with our hands
I don't do that here especially at the potluck after it's not appropriate but I mean
even with the rice you would just take it and putting your hand to eat and it would
dip their all of their hands in the same rights and eat from the same it didn't matter
because were just one we're all one I think that a lot of times in the in our culture
we really miss the intimacy of what the communion really represents we're becoming one with
Him and so as we partake together of the bread I just want to again mention that this would
be a magnificent time for you if you've never called upon the name of the Lord to do so
today there's nothing fancy about the prayers no magical repeat after me prayer nothing wrong
with that the Lord knows you when I prayed to receive Christ and I called
upon the name of the Lord I'm not proud of this and I'm actually quite ashamed of this I was
very intoxicated I was very high and my prayer was basic I slurred my prayer I called out to the name
of the Lord that's how I got saved and the Lord heard and I was born again and I woke up the next morning
and I was a new creation in Christ in old things have passed away all because I had
called upon the name of the Lord and I was saved I was almost 36 years ago actually it was
over 36 years ago now so I implore you today if you've never called upon the name of the Lord
to do so as we partake together would you partake with me
Lord thank You thank You for giving us this to do in remembrance of You and what You did
for us Your body broken Your death on the cross your burial in the tomb and your
resurrection from the grave three days later Lord thank You thank You so much Luke goes
on to write and says likewise He also took the cup after supper saying this cup is the
new covenant in My blood which is shed for you if you take the rest of the packaging
and peel it back you'll find the cup and again just hold onto for a moment
when we come to this portion of the communion table I always struggle's still not the right word
but it's really hard to adequately articulate and communicate the importance of the symbolism
of that which we hold in our hands this is a symbol of the blood of Jesus Christ now
stay with me before we partake together the Bible says that there is no remission removing
a sin without the shedding of blood this is the shed blood of Jesus Christ a symbol that
we hold in their hands that removes all of our sin every sin we've ever committed every
sin that we're even now committing I don't know how you could be sinning right now but you know
and every sin that we have yet to commit this side of heaven prior to the rapture it is
removed God through the prophet Isaiah declares as far as the east is from the west it's not
just covered see in the old covenant it was kaphar covered it's not covered it's removed it's
gone as far as the east is from the west and and remembered no more that's how powerful
the blood of Jesus Christ is and that's why it is that is so hard to adequately express
and communicate just how powerful this is every sin one said it this way our greatest need
was His greatest deed and His greatest deed was to come of His own volition willingly
go to the cross die shed His blood was buried for three days and then rose again for us
that's what we're celebrating here today would you partake with me and once you do please stand Father in
heaven we cannot possibly thank You enough for loving us so much that You would send
Your only begotten Son to die for us that whosoever amongst us would believe would be
saved Lord thank You for the free gift of eternal life thank You that we're saved by
grace through faith that is not of ourselves lest any of us should boast thank You that
it's a gift we receive freely it cost You everything but is made available to us for
the receiving Lord I pray if there's anybody here today that has called upon You that they
would come up and just let us know afterwards that we can rejoice with them because we know
that the angels in heaven rejoicing and so we want to rejoice as well Lord thank You
thank You for defeating death thank You the death no longer has it's sting thank You that
that trumpets sound soon very soon and the dead in Christ are going to rise first and we who are alive and
remain are going to be caught up to be with You forever and Lord we too cannot wait until
this that we've just done is ultimately fulfilled in Your kingdom at the wedding feast of the Lamb
