For this morning.

I pray that you would touch the message the word of God As It Goes Forth, Lord anoint, these lips of clay.

If they might be used at the Holy Spirit to speak Words of Life, Lord.

I Thank you.

I praise you for doing it in Jesus name.

Colossians.

Chapter one.

Colossians chapter 1.

Gina can even help you with.

This.

If you install, the faithlife study Bible.

These scriptures were just pop right out.

We're looking at Colossians.

Chapter one.

Beginning to read a verse number 13.

We're told this truth.

that he

speaking of the father.

He rescued us from the domain of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son.

In whom we have Redemption, the forgiveness of sin.

We've been rescue.

Amen.

Who rescued us verse 15 says, he speaking of Jesus.

He is the image of the invisible.

God, their firstborn of all creation.

We're by him.

All things were created both in the heavens and on Earth, visible and invisible.

Where the Thrones our dominions or rulers or authorities.

All things have been created through him and for him,

Still, speaking of Jesus.

In verse 17.

He is before all things.

And in him all things, hold together.

He's the one that sustaining it.

All right, this moment.

Verse 18, he is also the head of the body, which is the church.

The beginning, the firstborn from the dead so that he himself will come to have first place in everything.

For it was the father's good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Jesus.

And through Jesus to reconcile all things to the father.

Having made peace.

Through the blood of his cross.

And through him, I say whether things on earth or things in heaven.

Last Sunday evening.

Yes, we're one of those anachronistic churches that still has Sunday evening services.

We focus on worshipping and prayer.

And certainly, you are invited.

The last Sunday night.

What's the second night that we have been dealing with reading and John chapter 1? How did John the Baptist?

As he saw Jesus said, Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.

And we, for the past few weeks have been thinking about.

What, what is it that the Holy Spirit revealed the John?

John doesn't give us any further insight.

We're left to wonder.

What is it?

The John Mint.

When he saw Jesus and said, Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.

Two weeks ago, we thought about how that maybe he was thinking about the lamb.

The god provided to Abraham.

In the place of his son, Isaac.

Last week we were looking at Exodus chapter 12, which is particularly appropriate for this time of the year.

Exodus chapter 12 speaks of the Passover.

It was at Passover that Jesus had his final meal with his disciples.

It was that passed over that he went to the Cross suffering bleeding died for us.

Passover is incredibly important.

And I encourage you to read Exodus chapter 12, is that it talks about that that Passover Lamb.

Did prefigures Christ?

It tells us about his ministry.

It tells us our response.

We have to decide.

Whether we will accept.

The Passover Lamb of God.

Whether we going to accept Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord because God isn't forcing anyone.

At the same time, he's not giving any alternative.

Buddha, Allah, whatever religion you might want to name their not alternative.

Jesus is the only way.

Only through Jesus.

Can we experience salvation only as we accept what the Lamb of God did in our place?

Can we be saved from the Justified wrath of God upon centers?

Only through the blood that Jesus shed.

Can our sins be washed away.

That lamb.

To which John was referring Jesus, the Lamb of God who takes Away The Sins Of The World Is through that lamb that I text houses here in class in chapter one is through Jesus, through his blood that we are rescued from the domain of Darkness.

We walked in darkness.

But Jesus has delivered us from that darkness and his food.

Jesus is through his blood, the blood of his cross that we are reconciled into relationship with our father.

Who is Heather, who is in heaven, who is Holy?

So this morning I asked, do you know the lamb?

Have?

You had his blood applied to your life?

Have you been rescued and reconciled to his precious blood?

A few years ago, Christian artist, Zach Williams released, the song called rescue story.

Have you heard it?

Break song.

Is versus it says there.

I was empty-handed crying out from the pit of my Despair.

And there you were in the shadows.

Holding out your hand.

You met me there.

Where would I be without you?

Because you were the voice in the desert, calling me out in the dead of night fighting my battles for me.
