Jesus Christ: Lunatic, Liar, or Lord
Three beginning reading a verse number 20.
It says then the multitude came together again so that they could not so much as eat the win, his own people heard about this. They went out to lay hold of him for they said he is out of his mind. And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem, said, he is Beelzebub and by the ruler of the Demons, he cast out demons. So he called Jesus called them to himself and said to them in Parables, how can Satan cast out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself that Kingdom cannot stand and if a house is divided against itself that house cannot stand. And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand but has an end No one can enter a strong man's house and plunder his Goods, unless he first binds the strong man and then he will plunder his house, assuredly. I say to you all sins will be forgiven, the sons of men and whatever blasphemies they may utter, but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, never has forgiveness, but is subject to Eternal combination because they said he has an unclean spirit. Then his brothers and his mother came and standing outside, they sent it to him, calling him. And a multitude was sitting around him and they said to him, look your mother and your brothers are outside seeking you. But he answered them saying, who is my mother or my brothers? I looked around in a circle at those who sat about him and said, here are my mother and my brothers for whoever does the will of God is my brother and my sister and mother, let's pray together Our Father. We ask you Lord once again. To meet with us in a special way. I pray. Father that as I preach when I pray that the the spirit would move and do his work.
Or this is the word. I've God, we stand upon it. Lord help us to apply these truths to our hearts. I pray, Lord for those who are lost this morning those who are not saved. I pray God that you draw them to your son Jesus today.
Do what I cannot do. And that is by the Holy Spirit, bring about their conversion. And father will give you praise and glory for all that you do through and by this service of the preaching of your word. Father we love you. We asked all of these things in Christ name, amen. As I said, it's been some time since we have looked at the gospel of Mark, I want to just kind of recap. What's going on so far in chapter 3, at least this remind you about all that has transpired. A lot has transfer, transpired, us. Jesus heals a man on the Sabbath day, which the Pharisees got really angry at and I wanted to destroy him. As a matter of fact, the Pharisees, the Bible tells us and Mark chapter 3 that the Pharisees and the herodians, we were enemies one with another came together. In order that they might come up with some plan to destroy the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus Never Last knowing the dangers that are out there knowing those that want to destroy his life, knowing those that want to kill him continues to preach. He continues to do Miracles. He continues to do acts showing that he is the son of God. And though, and as he begins to preach, the crowds begin to get larger and larger. And Jesus, at this point, in his ministry, is at its peak in his popularity. The Crowds Are massive
Jesus goes by himself.
And I believe it's a 16, he goes up into a mountain and he praised all night long, as he is seeking the Lord, as to whom he is to call for his disciples. We see in just the previous verses that he selects and appoints the 12 to do the ministry, So, for Jesus and his disciples, it has been a long exhausting, several days. They are tired. They are hungry, but as we see in verse 20, notice again, in verse 20. Then the multitude came together again the crowd. So that they could not so much as eat bread. So once more the crowds descend Upon Jesus with, with their selfish Vengeance, and for Jesus, and his disciples, it just seems to never end. The house is so full of people that he cannot even find time nor space to even eat. It's all the crowds have completely become unaware. They have, they have no care for Jesus. They only care for themselves.
They will control Jesus. If they can using him, only for his power to heal. Unfortunately the crowds they completely misunderstand, his true Mission and agenda, and that is to get to the cross and to deal with the sins. Of the people. Well, in the, in the remaining passengers, scripture, we see how Jesus was thought of by different groups of people. And that's really helpful for us to. Look at this morning, notice first of all, Jesus's family attacked his sanity, Jesus, his own family, attacked his sanity, Other words. They called him a lunatic verse 21. Says, but when his own people, this is speaking about his family heard about this. They went out to lay hold of him. For they said he is out of his mind. And his first attack in this passage comes from a very unlikely source. His own family. As a matter of fact, this is the first time that Mark mentions, the family of Jesus. And it does not reflect well on them at all. Now, what are the reasons as to why Jesus family. Calls him crazy. well, when his family hears about what Jesus is doing, when they hear about the massive crowds, when they hear about the danger that he is, in the hear about the chaos, they hear about, so that he's not even able to sleep. He's not able to eat. Their first thought is that Jesus has got has gone crazy. The phrase were they say he is out of his. Mind means exactly that. Now, why would they think that? Jesus was crazy? Will number one, Jesus has called me and to follow him around the country, to preach the word. Number two, he refuses to rest and take care of himself. And number three, he claims to be God. Now to Jesus family, they know that for him to publicly say that he is God was to put a death sentence on him. Because of the Pharisees in the Jewish religious leaders saw that as blasphemy. So, his relatives, misunderstood Jesus and his ministry because they could not understand him. They thought he was crazy. So, what's their remedy for this? Well, His family came to get Jesus, they came to Stage an intervention, you could say you see that phrase, there, they lay, hold on him. Literally means to take by force to seize Jesus. They want to an Essence, arrest him if you will. The Jesus family was intent on rescuing him by force, if necessary, from the oppressive multitude that threatened to tooth to smother him. As well as from himself. The family's desire to protect Jesus from self-imposed danger, is reflected in their conclusions about him. For. They were saying he has lost his mind, he's lost his senses. Not marry his mother, who was there? I don't believe thought that. Before Jesus was born. Mary had been told by the angel behold. You will conceive in your womb and bear a son and you shall name him Jesus. He will be great. And he will be called the son of the most high, and the Lord, God will give him the Throne of his father David. And he will reign over the house of Jacob forever. And his kingdom will have. No in she knew exactly who he wants. So I believe it could be that all of this doubting that they have is just due to their worried about his well-being. They knew that he was in great Danger.
They believe, yes, he was the Messiah, but he's going to get hurt and so Mary does her motherly thing. She says boys, let's go, let's go get him. Let's bring him home. And we'll say that. He's just crazy, so that these people will just leave them alone. Think that he's just lost his mind. I don't want him to get hurt.
And I think also marry is still rassling as to what Jesus role is as the Messiah. And what the Messiah is to be. You see most people really all people, their vision of the Messiah to come was a person that was going to throw off the Yoke of the Roman Empire, someone who is going to sit on the throne of David and Jerusalem and they were going to rain and all of the enemies of Israel would be under their feet. They were looking for an Earthly King, not a Heavenly King. And so, for Mary's, you still wrapping her mind around the fact that Jesus is going to have to go to the cross and die. Until we see that Jesus family, his own flesh and blood think he's crazy. Notice secondly. Jesus photos. Attacked his spirituality. His enemies attacks really his deity. And as we shall see, they are more less calling him a liar.
Now getting Jesus is preaching, he's healing, he's casting out demons around the Around the Clock, the crowds are growing daily, his family wants to stop him and take him home because I fear, he's losing it. Maine wild things. Get even worse. Some scribes have come down from Jerusalem, to check Jesus out, and they come up with a plan to attack him. Notice and verse 22. It says, on the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said he is yeso Bob and by the ruler of the Demons, he cast out demons. This is their plan. This is their accusation, they cannot say that. He's they cannot say he's not doing Miracles because it's very clear very evident that he is performing miracles. They cannot say, he's not casting out demons because it's clear that he is. So what they try to do is try to marginalize him. They try to demean him the meanest character. Somehow they started making an accusation about the Lord Jesus Christ. And so, the scribes claimed that he has Beelzebub in him now, bbso Bob, was the prince of demons. Whose name could possibly mean the Lord of the Flies of the Lord of carrion. He was a lord of that which is rocked and he is a lord of that which was repulsive the lord of the dung Heap. But it is more likely, the name means, the lord of the house or the lord of the Temple. Thus, he is a ruler of a house or dynasty of demons. And the name, Beelzebub was used by the Jews as a another name of Satan himself. So they were claiming that Jesus is possessed, that he is controlled by Satan himself, who is the prince or ruler of the of the Demon World. And so, in other words, they're saying that Jesus is teaching his healing, his casting out demons all of those miraculous acts they say was done by the power of Satan himself. So this was a tremendous drastic insult to the Lord Jesus Christ. They are saying, Jesus is the Lord of all the demons. That's the accusation that the scribes come up with and as you know, that is a very Wicked, extremely Wicked, Strong and offensive accusation. As a matter of fact, the verb and verse 22 and verse 30 is translated here said and other versions of the Bible. It says they were saying so that verb there said is in the imperfect tense which means they were continually saying this, this is not just one time. They accuse him of being, the prince of demons. This is an ongoing rumor and I'm going live as they spread over and over and over again. It was a cruel heartless attack on the Lord Jesus Christ. Now, why would they say something so foolish? Why would they say something? So cruel about someone who's doing so much good.
Well, if they acknowledge, that Jesus is working his miracles in the power of God, then they would be obligated to follow him as well, okay? So they say well he is, do these miracles on the power of God because they then would be obligated to follow Christ. And if acknowledge that Jesus is working his miracles. In the power of God, they would have to admit that their old system of religion. The old Judaism Old Testament, Judaism would be dead and was going to be replaced and if that happens, they know that they are out of business and they know it, they would have to change and that is not going to happen. These people have great power and with power comes a lot of money. And there were not going to give it up and so they attacked Jesus and accuse him of being in League with the devil. And they know that if this charge 6, if they can undermine his ministry with the people and they can draw a way this crowd, draw way his popularity it. So they have to confirm, they have to concoct a plan.
And you know, as well as I do, doesn't take much more than just repeating a lie over and over again until people grab a hold of it and believe it themselves. I mean, you've seen it happen before you maybe have had this happened to you, I've had it happen to me in the ministry. how many of you know, that it is true that lies spread like wildfire The truth. However, spreads like molasses. On a cold January day, that's a fact.
But that's what they were intending to do spread lies. They're continuing just say that Jesus is possessed by Satan and that Jesus is the prince of the Demons. They constantly Pearl this floor at Jesus trying to destroy his reputation.
Jesus response. And speak to them in Parables about Satan's kingdom.
We noticed their attack. I noticed now, Jesus answer Notices answer verse 23. So he called them to himself.
I like that. You know, Jesus was a man's man.
He said, hey guys.
He did not shy away. He called these guys that really could have him put to death. Just come here, calls him to himself, and said to them in Parables, and Satan cast out Satan. Jesus calls his attackers to him and he totally here destroys their arguments. I love this because it is so true that those who live by those who really have no foundational, truth are absolutely illogical. I told Jesus stands holes in their arguments, he destroys their arguments. He uses three illustrations from life that prove safe and cannot be in the business of casting out Satan. Okay, notice, the first illustration, the first one, a secular illustration. We see this a 24. If a kingdom is divided against itself that Kingdom can not stand. So again, he challenges their logic. And says, okay, you can say what you want to say but you but that cannot be true. It is impossible to be true. A kingdom in division is a kingdom that cannot stand. when there is strife, Within a nation that leads as we know our history, it can lead to a civil war. We seen that
When there is Strife, there is no stability within that Kingdom and it is therefore compromised and that Kingdom can fall. It's so far Kingdom to be strong. It has to be what it has to be United. It has to be United. So, what Jesus is saying is this Satan is out to win a battle between himself and the Lord, he is not going to do anything to weeking. We can himself in that fine and for him to cast out his own demons would be foolish and it would absolutely be counterproductive. So we see this illustration, a sector illustration notice, secondly, we see a social illustration. Verse 25. Says me the house is divided against itself that house cannot stand. And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but has an end. It's a Jesus says, a house that exists in division is a house that cannot stand. The Jesus Takes the illustration from a kingdom down to a household, down to the home down to the family and says, hey, if there is continual Strife, if there is continual War, like, action is going on in the home that home itself will not be able to stand. Again, Satan is out to win his not in the business of trying to fight with himself, it doesn't make any sense and then Jesus, a 27 gives us a spiritual illustration. Verse 27 says, no one can enter a strong man's house and plunder his Goods, unless he first binds a strong man and then he will plunder his house. A Jesus says that you cannot rob a well-defended home unless you first tie up or find the defender of that home. So I I pray that you understand the illustration year that Jesus gives Satan defends his kingdom. But Jesus has the power to invade Satan's kingdom and deliver, whomsoever. He desires from the devil's grip. Jesus has my dear friends, the power over the devil Satan here is seen as a strong man, but Jesus is the stronger, man. Praise the Lord for that. And listen, it may be you. Who who are in the grip? Obsidian, and the devil.
And if you are, you are bound. By Satan, who is a strong man. You are bound in seeing your blinded by Satan. He has you But the good news is that Jesus is able to set you free. He is more powerful than Satan and he can invade The Fortress of your heart and break the shackles that. Have you bound. He is able Jesus is able to set the sinner free. It may be that you have someone whom you love, who is in the grip of sin. And the grip of the devil. Hey listen. Our Lord is able to touch their heart is able to set them free. He's able to break the bondage of their sinful addiction, and give them New Life in himself. Do I say this to Christians, who all of us have family members? All of us have friends who are bound by the strongman, in there, seeing their lost, their Bound by Satan, Never stop praying for them. Never stop believing that Jesus is the stronger man, who can come in and free them from Satan's prison. I'll listen to Lord knows where they are and he knows how to reach them there. For you, pray for them.
So Jesus hear gives in his answer, these three illustrations that just tear down the logic that these crimes give. Notice. And verse 28. Jesus also sounds an alarm.
Verse 28 Jesus says assuredly, I say to you. All sins will be forgiven, the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they may utter. That's very interesting here, that Jesus begins to conclude this next matter by saying assuredly.
King James says, verily, verily. I say unto you. The word means. Amen. It means. Truly, I say to you, this word is only found in the gospels, and this word is only used by Jesus Christ himself. It is a word that is very serious. It is a word that really Jesus here is giving us a solemn affirmation. He's saying another words hate pay attention. Because what I'm about to say is true, and it's very alarming.
Were these religious men? To whom Jesus is speaking to. Do not see the terrible danger that they are in. They have a look at God's Messiah. They have looked at Jesus Christ and they have called him a servant of the devil.
And so with a hardened heart, they send against the gospel. In the most clearest form. They sent against the gospel and the most clearest manifestation. They look at with their own eyes, the supremely good one. And call him the supremely evil one. And I do this again, continually They continually say these things. So it is a persistent rejection. and, A declaration against what the spirit of God is doing in and through the Lord Jesus Christ. And it responds to their accusations Jesus. Again he issues a very solemn serious warning to these men he warns them That they are in danger of crossing a line with God. They are in danger of committing and unpardonable sin and unforgivable sin. 29 houses.
But he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit? Never has forgiveness, but it's subject to Eternal condemnation cause they said he has an unclean spirit. now, I remember in verse 28, Jesus declares the graciousness. Other forgiveness and mercy of God and forgiving sins. Jesus said all sins, literally, whatever blasphemies blasphemies. They may blaspheme all those will be forgiven. We praise the Lord for that. That all Sinners can find the Forgiveness of God, if they will come to him and repentance and faith. however, verse 29 and 30. Jesus Notes. One. Tragic and fearful exception. if someone speaks against the Holy Spirit verbally and continually with willful and malicious intent, that in itself reveals a hardened heart beyond the possibility of repentance where there is no forgiveness and they are guilty of Eternal punishment. And so it is blasphemy against the holy spirit that forever removes. A man beyond the realm where where forgiveness is possible.
I told you is very solemn and serious morning. This is why Jesus said, hey, pay attention. Listen to me. It's very important because this solemn warning must be interpreted in the light. Of the specific situation in which it was spoken, okay? Very important. That we must understand that this must be interpreted in the light of this specific situation in which Jesus spoke. These words, the word blaspheme mean to speak evil of the scribes were guilty of speaking evil of the. Holy Ghost.
How well? Jesus, in his Earthly Ministry, was Healing The Sick. He was casting out demons. He was preaching the word of God and he did it all in the power of the Holy Spirit. That's how Okay. So Jesus did not do these miracles in and out of himself. Jesus being filled by the spirit. He was anointed by the spirit, led by the spirit did these Miracles by, and through the spirit. Jesus worked in this world as a Spirit-filled man and this is why. When the scribes attributed, the work of the spirit to the devil, they were guilty of blaspheme against the Holy Spirit and Jesus said, there were in danger of committing a sin that could not be forgiven. So in this historical context, blasphemy against the Holy Spirit denotes, the conscious and deliberate rejection of the saving power and the grace of God released through Jesus words and his miraculous acts and when they declare that his power and what she did, those Works was demonic. What's that did? Was it manifested their defiant resistance to the Holy Spirit. A notice again. This severe warning. Was not addressed. To the Layman Jesus, do not speak this warning to those who are just sitting around them, not all of them. Jesus address this morning to the carefully trained describes, whose task was to interpret the biblical law to the people. It was their responsibility to be aware of God's Redemptive plan. And they listen to willfully, missed it. They on purpose, missed it. so then it's very important to understand that this admonition concerning the blasphemy of the holy spirit is not to be separated from this historical context and then applied generally to anybody and everybody. So context is key, right? Context is Keith, who is speaking? Jesus is speaking. What is Jesus saying to whom are being spoken to? Why did Jesus say this? Will Mark tells us why when he refers their inverse 30, he mentions that specific accusation that Jesus was possessed by an unclean spirit. now, with that said, I do not believe that this send this, send this unpardonable sin unforgivable. Sin can be committed today, I do not believe that. Let me give you some reasons, why? To commit the unpardonable sin. First of all, would mean to send with full knowledge. Just seeing with full knowledge. We do not have full knowledge as they did in Jesus day. Lovelace and they witnessed all the Miracles that Jesus did with their own eyes. They saw it. They knew that Jesus healed the lame. They knew that he, he assured diseases. They knew that he called out demons out of demon possessed individuals. They witnessed Jesus speak and they heard with their own ears. Jesus, word. We have not been given that privilege.
We can only see the miracles of Jesus Through The Eyes of faith.
We've not seen him with our eyes. This is why they send against the gospel and it's clear as form. He was right there and he knew it. The new it. And they willfully seeing against that full knowledge that you and I only have Through The Eyes of faith.
Also to commit, the unpardonable sin would mean to have an ongoing this position of the heart that resists the conviction of the Holy Spirit. It is an ongoing fiery resistance to the Holy Spirit. I've been also to commit the unpardonable sin. Would require a verbal declaration a verbal at that blasphemes, the work of the spirit to the work of Satan himself.
So it's a sin against full knowledge. None of us have that not to the degree that these men had. It is a sin against having a disposition of such a hardened heart in resisting the conviction of the Holy Spirit. And then it is on top of that, there must be a verbal declaration that the work of the spirit is actually the work of Satan himself.
and with that,
the unpardonable sin cannot be obviously committed by a Christian. I cannot tell you how many times I've been asked by church members. Henwy. As Christians commit, the unpardonable sin. The unforgivable sin. No. It's impossible to do that, totally impossible. Also. It is a sin. Speaking of the unforgivable sin, not committed by a person who is concerned that he or she may have committed it, okay. So, if you are here this morning and you are concerned or have been concerned in the past that you may have committed the sin, I assure you, that you have not because a person with this type of heart would not care at all, that they did. Okay. Donut never be concerned that. I may have committed the unforgivable sin because in reality, you have not if you're concerned about it. now, nevertheless, This unpardonable sin should still awake and all of us to the seriousness of all sin against the holy God. A holy God, he never Winks at sin. So this is why we must all run to Jesus run to him and by faith repentance. You'll find Jesus. With open arms, who will not cast you out? You'll find forgiveness and eternal life.
That's some heavy stuff in it. And I understand it is very quiet in here because of such heavy stuff. But let me finish with this. As we close. Jesus. familiarize has those, he teaches those who are in his spiritual family,
Jesus makes clear. who is family, and who is not, who is in and who is out in his words here, could not be more striking or any clear. The first thing that Jesus teaches us as being part of the family of God, Is not by physical descent or a physical relationship, okay, that's what he says. Verse 31 through 33. Then his brothers and his mother came and standing outside the they sent to him calling him. And a multitude was sitting around him and they said to him, hey, look your mother and your brothers are outside seeking you. But he answered them saying, who is my mother or my brothers? Tamari. And the brothers are Jesus, they come to where he is staying probably at the home of Peter Peter's mother-in-law.
Jesus has at least four brothers, the Bible mentions. But notice this, in this, in the scripture, they are standing outside.
Mark notes, this Is very striking symbolism. Here they are standing outside While others are in. Are on the inside.
But they called him in the crowd relay the message. Hey, look your mother and your brothers are outside. That'll be underlined in your Bible right there, because that's very key marks. Painting us a picture, symbolically
They're outside seeking you. And Jesus response is who are my mother? My brothers. That response was totally shocking. Totally shocking in to this family center culture in which Jesus lived. but he implies here and makes it clear in verse 35, that will look at just a moment that number one, No, physical family connection is ultimately necessary to be in God's family. Some people will say, well, I'm a Christian because my parents were Christian, no. I'm a Christian because my grandparents were Christian or they may even think, will I can't be a Christian because my parents were not a Christian. And my grandparents were not a Christian. No no no listen, Jesus says no physical. Family connection is ultimately necessary to be in God's family. Listen to John chapter 1, verse 12 and 13, Jesus said. But as many as received him, To them. He gave the right to become the children of God. To those, who believe in his name, who were born? Not of blood, nor of the will of Flesh, nor of the will of, man. But of God,
Now, the nature of marrying. A Brother's request with a natural normal and expected request. However, the response of Jesus, Was not the ass. Who is my mother or my brother? Jesus also teaches us that being part of the family of God is not the result of finding Jesus, interesting or helpful. Verse 34. And you looked around in a circle, at those who said about him. Instead, here are my mother and my brothers. So, if physical relationships are not the key to a spiritual relationship with God, what else may be ruled out as a fault perspective on this cruel issue, a crucial issue. We'll try to Envision the scene here. Verse 34, the room is absolutely overflowing with people. It is absolutely overflowing with those who were attracted to Jesus. Some just love him for his Miracle. Some just loves him off of what dates to receive from Jesus. They loved the show. They love what he can do for them.
it's very interesting that the crowds, On our never viewed, in a favorable light in the Book of Mark. Only chaotic. Crowds, do not follow and stay for the Long Haul.
Individuals do. Individuals do with whom he has called, and himself with her own volition and decision, follow him. So this is why Jesus looked around at those who were seated around him. Again, thank you to see this in your mind who is in this room at this point. Well, you have the 12 the site disciples. You have the scribes who have come down from Jerusalem to choose him. It is also possible that day that those encountered earlier in this chapter are also there. And of course, there are those who are there who just simply curious. The people follow Jesus for different reasons and with different, agendas some reasons are good. Some reasons are bad. Some truly want him. Others want what he can give them and do for them. Some follow Jesus for who he is others. Follow for what they make him out to be, they want someone that they can fit in their world. And their wants and plans are priorities. You said his true family was here. But not all of them were included in his next statement. He narrowed it down. He teaches us that being a part of the family of God is revealed by doing the will of God verse 35 says this. For whoever does the will of God is my brother and my sister and my mother. So Jesus here provides a very clear and simple blanket statement concerning who is part of the family of God and it is anyone who does the will of God.
It is those who hear. And do the word and will of God. The understand this morning that obedience in and of itself. Does not originate a relationship with God. Faith does that right? But obedience is a sign of our face.
So this new family relationship is far superior that, that Jesus speaks of is far stronger. It is far more satisfying, far more demanding and far more dire than any other Human family relationship. Isn't an eternal relationship that is marked by an unshakable Grace. And those who receive such Grace are those who are marked by Humble obedience to do the will of God. So becoming part of the family of God begins, when we receive and believe in Jesus, which is a sovereign worth of his will not ours, John chapter 1, verse 13. Also doing and obeying the will of God gives evidence that we are a part of God's family. Do I ask you? Today. Are you in the family of God? Hey, Brother, White had one? No. Well, you going to know that you have a desire. You have a longing to do the will of God, you want to please him in all that you do. And when we fail and yes, we will fail. We hate it. It breaks our heart that we've hurt Jesus. Until we repent and we get right back on track, but you have a desire to do the will of God. That's how we know that we are truly in the family of God.
I've been to the Christian, I would say this. But a message to remind us. To never stop praying for those who are lost for those who are still held by the strongman Satan. That we pray continue to believe and pray that the stronger, man. Jesus was set the sinner free.
Let's pray together, Our Father. Lord what a difficult Passage. To preach.
Sobering Passage.
The father, I pray.
Thank you for the working of the Holy Spirit.
Would do his work.
I'm giving us an understanding of what was preached. How to apply this message to our hearts? Right. I pray God, that any person here?
Would understand and know.
That they too long for forgiveness of sin. It is available to them right now. Today. cause of your graciousness and because of your long-suffering, and mercy, you have provided A way of Escape. From the strongman. Father, that is by their faith and repentance. And father, I pray that you grant them.
Salvation Lord today.
and father, I pray Lord Jesus that those
Who may be struggling? with this thought of Am I saved? Am I not? Lord would not look to others.
As to see if they're safe or not. But rider look to the word of God. and father, if There is a true desire. To follow you into a badger will. David, you would give them that assurance that they need. But Lord also, if they really, and honestly and truthfully do not have that, will and desire.
To follow you and Obey. You father, I pray that you were going to dig them of that. Even if they are church member. even if they have previously been baptized, Lorcan viktimat. They have not first been saved.
The fall, I pray that you use this message For Your Glory and Honor. We love you and ask all these things in Christ name.
