Encounters with the Master

Transcript

this is really part of a um x lifetime study which is simply entitled x um encounters with the x master and so there are many individuals x in the pages of scripture who interacted x with the Lord Jesus Christ and this is x just a few thoughts out of many in terms x of what happened how he impacted their x lives and of course drawing lessons for x ourselves I'm going to start by making a x statement brothers and sisters and the x statement is simply x this that did we really appreciate the x fact that x Jesus could read x minds I say that because we need to go x to John chapter 2 x 2 now you will know that there are no x chapter divisions so in John Chapter 2 x and verse 23 you probably thought well x why is he started there but let's just x look x closely and you may remember when I was x at bible school there are a number of x tools that we need to keep in our tool x box that we might better understand the x scriptures and the first one is x to never read more than three verses x without asking yourselves at least one x question secondly we must look for those x interrogatory pronouns which what where x who why when how so we can interrogate x the verse not that we disbelieve but x that the more questions we ask the more x I think the scriptures open up to us if x we have that that inquiring x mind and the third thing is we have a x choice whether we can read an inch deep x and a mile long or a mile x deep and an inch x long and fourthly when we're reading x God's word we have the gift of x imagination so we'll try and bring that x into into play x also so verse 23 then of John Chapter x 2 now when he Jesus was in Jerusalem at x the Passover in the feast day many x believed in his name when they saw the x Miracles which he x did but Jesus did not commit himself x unto them because he knew x all x men and needed not that any should x testify of man for he knew what was in x man there was a man of the Pharisees x named Nicodemus a ruler of the Jews x remember no chapter divisions brothers x and sisters but there are a number of x things that I want us to just keep in x our minds firstly in verse x 24 but Jesus did not commit himself unto x them because he knew all men now you x will notice that the word men is in x italics x it is not in the x original but Jesus did not commit x himself unto them because he knew x all and I think that is very x significant what the verses are telling x us is that Jesus knew x all and for emphasis verse 25 for he x knew what was in x man x oh there was a man of the Pharisees x named Nicodemus a ruler of the x Jews and what chapter 3 goes on to tell x you and to show you is that the x statement made in verse 24 and verse 25 x because there is no chapter x division it is at pains to point out to x the reader x what that Jesus knew x all that he knew what was in x man x now you see what we can find out by just x simply asking those simple searching x questions because actually good Bible x study is simply to read with x care because nothing is x wasted and what chapter 3 does therefore x is to show x you that the previous statements are x absolutely correct for Jesus knew x all for he knew what was in man and then x chapter 24 introduces us to x Nicodemus a ruler of the x Jews and it shows you that Jesus knew x what was in man but more specifically x knew what was in x Nicodemus there was a man of the x Pharisees named Nicodemus a ruler of the x Jews he was of the x Sanhedrin what was the word Sanhedrin x means Sanhedrin x means sitting x together the Sanhedrin were Assemblies x of either 23 or 71 rabbis appointed to x sit as a tribunal in every city in the x ancient land of Israel there were two x classes of rabbinical courts called x Sanhedrin the great and Sanhedrin the x Lesser x it's important to note also what this x man's name x means this man was the president of the x Sanhedrin he was the one who really was x the leader of them x all his x name x Nicodemus x means victory of the people or actually x we would say x Nike Deus x now you see where I'm going with x this Nike is a multi-trillion pound x industry as we x know and Nike means x Victory this man his name meant Nike x Deus victory of the people and it's a x multi-trillion industry isn't it you x would say x dollars but the point is here is this x man who is the president of the x Sanhedrin the top the x leader so there was a man of the x Pharisees named Nicodemus a ruler of the x Jews the same came to Jesus by x night and said unto him Rabbi we x know that thou art a teacher come from x God so the first question brother and x sisters is x this who are the x we now we know that not all the x religious leaders whether it was the x scribes the Pharisees the Sadducees we x know x forur that they did not all accept and x they didn't all believe that Jesus was x the Christ so what does Nicodemus mean x when he says we know that thou art a x teacher come from God for no man can do x these Miracles that thou doest except x God be with x him why did Nicodemus say x that within the structure of the x Sanhedrin the scribes and the Pharisees x and the religious leaders were x there a x few who believed x secretly perhaps a handful of x them maybe Nicodemus himself had drawn x the Short Straw to go and talk to Jesus x notice carefully he went under the under x the cover of x darkness and the three chapters that we x are told of Nicodemus chapter 3 chapter x 7 chapter x 19 remind the x reader lest you x forget it was he that came to Jesus by x night for no man can do these Miracles x that thou doest except God be with him x so who are these x other that would x confess that he was the teacher come x from God we know that thou art a teacher x come from God who is the we who who are x the Royal we a handful x was it just somebody x else we x know for no man can do these Miracles x that thou doest except God be with him x Jesus answered and said unto him very x very say unto thee except a man be born x again he cannot see the kingdom of God x now did you notice that brother and x sisters I don't know if you've got x children or grandchildren and you know x there's a a candy bar on the on the x table and they the child walks in and x says uh x grandpa um do you know that chocolate x bar over x there H who does it belong to and and x actually you know what they're leading x up to say what they're really wanting to x say is could I have x it and that's rather very similar to x what Nicodemus does you know brother x sisters because he says to x Jesus x Rabbi we know that thou art a teacher x come from God for no man can do these x Miracles that thou doest except God be x with him and it's almost as if Nicodemus x is building up to ask a specific x question about baptism and what happens x next is in verse three Jesus actually x preempts the the answer doesn't x he Jesus answered and said unto him very x very said unto thee except a man be born x again he cannot see the kingdom of God x now it's quite obvious that Jesus knew x exactly what he was trying to say for x Nicodemus wanted to get to the point x about baptism about being born x again and Jesus is on the right lines x because Nicodemus then says in verse x four Nicodemus saith unto him how can a x man be born when he is old can he enter x into the mother's into his second time x into the mother's womb and be born so x there again in in in verse 3 and four it x shows that Jesus x knew what was in x man it shows you that Jesus knew x all and it was no different x here that Nicodemus was building up to x ask Jesus and Jesus preempts the answer x by telling him and he's right on it x because Jesus knew x all that verse six which is born of the x flesh is flesh and that which is born of x the spirit is Spirit Marvel not that I x said unto thee ye must be born again the x wind bloweth and the listeth and thou x hearest the sound thereof look at verse x nine Nicodemus answered and said unto x him how can these things be Jesus x answered and said unto him art thou a x master art thou a master of Israel x actually in the original it actually x says art thou the x master of Israel and knowest not these x things this was the precedent of the x Sanhedrin the highest of the high and x notice x carefully he came to Jesus verse Two By x Night under the cover of x Darkness x and then in verse x 14 and as Moses lifted up the serpent in x the wilderness even so must a son of man x be lifted up and you remember back there x in numbers those who were bitten by the x fiery serpents not that they were flying x around with flames of fire coming out of x them but rather that when they were x bitten by the serpent the pain of it the x sting of it was like burning x fire as Moses lifted up the serpent in x the wilderness so also must the son of x man be lifted up and as that serpent was x lifted up upon a pole brothers and x sisters those who were dying on their x feet they had to look to that thing of x brass that they might be x saved as it was lifted up in the x wilderness so also must the son of man x be lifted up x 900 years x later Hezekiah got hold of that Brazen x Serpent and he ground it to powder and x he called it nushan a vain x thing because they were focusing more on x the x creature more than the Creator you x understand and the point brothers and x sisters is then is the Lord Jesus Christ x saying as Moses lifted up the serpent in x the x wilderness and those people had to look x in faith because they were bitten by the x bite of x sin and they were dying on their feet x and had to look to x that that which was hoisted up that x which was held up high that was their x means of Salvation if they was to look x at it in x faith now then look how the Lord Jesus x Christ brothers and sisters in a x beautiful way weaves into his x message the context of this man who had x come to Jesus by night now now look then x at verse verse 19 and this is the x condemnation that light is come into the x world Nicodemus and Men love Darkness x rather than light because their deeds x were x evil now as these verses unfold were're x not told when Nicodemus x leaves but he's come under the cover of x darkness and as he listens to the Lord x Jesus Christ under the cover of Darkness x how ironic is this brothers and x sisters John chapter 8 vers2 tells us x that Jesus is the he says I am the light x of the world what a x paradox here was the man who had come x under the cover of Darkness x to see the light of the world and later x on Jesus says ye are the light of the x world and this is the condemnation that x light is come into the into the world x and Men love Darkness rather than light x because their deeds were evil and and x and as Nicodemus scurries away through x the back streets of Jerusalem under the x cover of Darkness you can almost hear x Jesus saying and this is condemnation x Nicodemus that light is come into the x world and Men love the Darkness rather x than light because their deeds were evil x for everyone that doeth evil hateth the x light neither cometh to the light lest x his deeds should be x reproved but he that doeth truth cometh x to the light that his deeds may be made x manifest that they are wrought in x God after these things came Jesus and x his disciples so we're told when x Nicodemus arrives on the x scene x but we're not told when he x goes but make no mistake brothers and x sisters it is x evident that Nicodemus as he left the x master those words would have been x ringing in his ears men love Darkness x rather than light lest their deeds would x be x revealed and here was he who had come x under the cover of x Darkness to see the light of the x world the next time we read of Nicodemus x you will know is of course in x John and chapter x 7 but before we do x that let's pick up the story in verse 28 x of John chapter x 7 then cried Jesus in the temple as he x taught saying this it seems is the time x of the Feast of x Tabernacles verse 28 then cried Jesus in x the temple as he taught x saying and at the end of The Feast verse x 37 in the last day that great day of the x feast Jesus stood and cried saying so in x verse 28 x he lifts up his voice and cries aloud in x the temple a place where people are and x at the last day of the feast verse 37 he x stood and cried saying so I suppose x verse 28 and verse 37 are rather like x bookends aren't x they the beginning of the feast he x raises his x voice and preaches and at the end of The x Feast verse 37 he raises his voice voice x and preaches they're like bookends x aren't they but what happens between x these two x bookends verse x 32 the Pharisees heard that the people x murmured such things concerning him and x the Pharisees and the chief priest send x officers to take x him then said Jesus unto them yet a x little while am I with you and then I go x unto him that sent me ye shall see seek x me and shall find me shall not find me x and where I am thither ye cannot x come then said the Jews among themselves x whei will he go that we shall not find x him will he go onto x dispersed we go to the Gentiles verse 36 x what manner of saying is this that he x said he shall seek me and shall not find x me and where I am thither you cannot x come why this phrase you shall seek me x and you shall not find x me you shall seek me and you shall not x find x me what does Jesus mean by that you x shall seek me and shall not find x me now after the feast they send x soldiers to capture Jesus verse 45 then x came the officers to the chief priests x they come back empty-handed and the x Pharisees and they said unto them why x have you not brought him the officers x answered never man spake like this man x this man the way he spoke what he said x he was filled with wisdom oh now that's x an interesting thing brothers and x sisters just pigeon hole that this is a x chapter that talks about Jesus being x incredibly wise in what he x said and when they listen to him they x come back empty-handed and they say why x didn't you bring x him never man spake like this x man you shall seek x me but you shall not find x me keep a mark of there please bre and x sisters and go back to x Proverbs and chapter x one x and this is x where this quote x comes Proverbs Chapter x 1 and we're going x in at verse x 20 now you might need to keep a mark in x John chapter 7 now that you've lost x it and look at the comp x comparisons Proverbs chapter 1 verse 20 x it's all about notice the wisdom of x God Jesus in John lifted up his x voice at the beginning of the feast and x at the end of The x Feast Proverbs chapter 1 verse x 20 wisdom crith x without it's a personification it's a x personification x of wisdom x she wisdom crith without she utth her x voice in the streets just like Jesus she x crith in the chief place of concourse in x the temple in the openings of the gates x in the city she utth her words saying x how long ye simple ones will ye love x Simplicity and scorners Delight in their x scorning verse 23 turn you at my reprove x behold I will pour out my spirit unto x you John 739 we'll come back to that I x will pour out my spirit unto you I will x make known my words unto you because I x have called and you x refused think of Jesus under the scribes x and Pharisees the Sanhedrin I have x stretched out my hand and no man x regarded here he comes but ye have set x at nor all my x counsel why did you not bring him never x man spake like this man and would none x of my Repro John x 7:32 verse 26 I also will laugh at your x Calamity I will mock when your fear x cometh think of x ad70 when your fear cometh as desolation x and your destruction cometh as a x worldwind when distress and anguish x cometh upon you then shall they call x upon me but I will not answer here it x comes they shall seek me early but they x shall not find x me for they that hated knowledge and did x not choose the fear of the Lord they x would none of my counsel they despised x all my x reproof John chapter 7 and verse x 34 you shall seek me and shall not find x me Jesus bre and sisters in a masterful x way is lifting out of the Old Testament x from The Book of Proverbs in the context x of the wisdom of x God and he applies it to x himself and it brings it Forward I x believe that their Calamity was about to x come to fruition in ad70 when the Romans x flattened Jerusalem you shall shall seek x me early and shall not find x me their Calamity was about to x come they did not want the wisdom of x God verse 45 of John 7 then came the x officers and the chief priests and x Pharisees and they said unto them why x have you not brought him the officers x answered never man spake like this man x then answered them the Pharisees are you x also deceived have notice this have any x of the rulers of our of the Pharisees x believed on him oh that's interesting x what what what did the Nicodemus x say we we x know that thou art a teacher come from x God have any of the rulers of the x Pharisees believed on him but this x people who knoweth not the law are x cursed x Nicodemus saith unto them and in case x you forget he that came to Jesus by x Night being one of x them he gets a bit warm under the collar x brothers and x sisters he gets a bit x uneasy these people are cursed have x any of the Pharisees or the rulers x believed on x him here then brother x sisters is the beginnings of a man who x was coming out of the x shadows out of the x shadows and he remember the word of the x Lord Jesus Christ for men love Darkness x rather than light lest their deeds x should be reproved Nicodemus saith unto x them he that cameth to Jesus being By x Night being one of x them doth our law judge any man before x it hear him oh you know what he's saying x he's really saying x I've heard x him does our lord judge any man before x it hear him I've heard him he's not x going to tell them x that and know what he doeth I've heard x him and I know what he's x doing they answered and said unto him x art thou x also for a few moments maybe maybe he x thought they would say art thou also of x him x they answered and said unto him art thou x also of x Galilee search and look for out of x Galilee ariseth no Prophet x wrong x Jonah the x prophet from G hea x Galilee same x place which begs a question brothers and x sisters now remember what we said never x more than three verses without asking x yourselves one question this is the x probing question here's my x question now we know the scribes and x Pharisees they were very intellectual x when it came to the x scriptures so the question is why is it x then that they did not recognize Jonah x as being a x prophet a Jon Jonah being a prophet From x gatha Galilee why was x that well this is my x suggestion here was a x man who had x preached to the x Gentiles and was x successful so when they say to Jesus in x the New x Testament we be in we be Abraham seed x and never been in bondage to any man x really why the whole history was being x in bondage x throughout the judges that 450e x period we won't even talk about the x Assyrians how they transposed Assyrians x to Samaria and now they've got the x Samaritans on the doorstep we won't even x talk about what the Babylonians did in x for the 70-year Captivity we could we x could go x on but be that as it x may we know the x facts search and look for out of Galilee x ariseth no prophet and every man went x onto his own house no chapter division x Jesus went onto the Mount of x Olives and when we next x read of x Nicodemus it is over of x course a little further on in the Gospel x of John in chapter x 19 the Lord Jesus is on the x cross and verse x 38 verse 37 for connection and again x another scripture saith they shall look x on him whom they pierced now Mark that x brothers and sisters because nothing is x wasted they shall look on him whom they x pierced and after x this Joseph of x ARA being a disciple of Jesus but x secretly for fear of the x Jews besought pilate that he might take x away the body of Jesus and pilate gave x him leave he came therefore and took the x body of Jesus and there came also x Nicodemus which at the first came to x Jesus by x night x is that the x answer did they meet at the foot of the x cross and as Joseph of ARA reaches up x for the body of x Jesus he sees alongside of him for the x first x time x Nicodemus I didn't know you x were secret disciple I didn't know you x were a secret x disciple x or could it possibly be brothers and x sisters that they both already x knew when it says we know that thou art x a teacher gone from God and no man can x do these Miracles except God be with him x was it the two of them as the x we could it possibly be brothers and x sisters that maybe Nicodemus and Joseph x of x arthea had sat down x together x and have decided that one of them need x to go to talk to the Lord Jesus Christ x under the cover of x darkness and it is x Nicodemus who picks the Short x Straw whatever it was brothers and x sisters as they both reach up to bring x the body of the Lord x down Nicodemus would have remembered the x words of Jesus would he x not as Moses lift up the serpent in the x wilderness so also must a s man be x lifted x up and draw all x men it would make more x sense the x crucifixion the Brazen x Serpent and as they and now now look x closely at the previous x verse when it x says verse 37 and again another x scripture sayth they shall look on him x whom they x pierced that's what they had to do in x the wilderness look in faith to the x serpent the thing of brass that they x too after they would gaze in x faith they would not die but x live so let's Zoom away from that scene x brothers and x sisters and let's stand with the scribes x and Pharisees and religious leaders of x the day in the x Sanhedrin you can see them at a distance x can't you with their x binoculars you never guess who we can x see I don't believe it it's x Nicodemus take a look and you can just x see them can't you brother sisters x looking through their binoculars looking x and seeing he was a man now who was x coming out of the x Shadows maybe we could have called our x talk a different subject theme the man x who came out of the Shadows he didn't x care now who saw x him this man who was a secret x disciple or maybe they possibly met at x the foot of the x cross for the first x time x and that's where we would all x meet we must meet x there at the foot of the x cross where everything is thrown into x sharp relief and we see clear clearer x and we come out of the Shadows for men x love Darkness rather than x light for the Lord knew what was in x man for he knew all x I'd like us to come back please brother x and sisters to the Gospel of John if I x may and chapter x 8 and I want us to think for a few x moments about an incident which is I x think quite masterful how the Lord Jesus x Christ deals with this x situation a situation that was highly x charged volatile x full of anger full of x Shame John chapter x 8 verse x one Jesus went onto the Mount of x Olives and early in the morning he came x again into the temple and all the people x came unto him and he sat down and taught x them and the scribes and Pharisees x brought unto him a woman taken in x adultery and when they had set her in x the x midst now what happens brother and x sisters we must take good note on x this the Lord Jesus Christ deals with x this situation in a masterful x way and the scribes and Pharisees x brought unto him a woman taken in x adultery and when they had set her in x the midst they say unto him Master this x woman was taken in adultery in the very x act don't you x know never read more than three verses x without asking yourself at least one x question here is my x question where was the x man where was the x man this horrible situation brother and x sisters taken this woman in x adultery in the very act it says verse x four you can imagine the scene can't x you her clothes if she had much on at x all was all over the x place her nakedness her shame was there x for all to x see x the horror of it x all now Moses in the law commanded us x that such should be stoned but what x sayest x thou and here brothers and sisters is x the Lord Jesus Christ in a masterful way x how he deals with this x situation this they said tempting him x that they might have to accuse him but x Jesus stooped down with his finger wrote x on the ground as though he heard them x not Proverbs and not a fool according x unto his x folly he defuses a situation by stooping x down and here then brother sisters is a x supreme example of the Lord Jesus Christ x lest lest his the the son of God's eyes x should x wonder he Stoops x down perhaps allowing the x woman for a few x seconds to cover x herself to straighten x herself in the midst of these horrid x men lest his eyes should gaze too x long but he would not sin with his eyes x with his x mind he Stoops x down secondly he diffuses the x situation He makes himself x small and he wrote on the x ground as though he heard them x not what was he WR what was he x writing never read more than three x verses without asking yourself at least x one question what what was what was he x writing so when they continued asking x him he lifted up himself and said unto x them he that is without sin among you x let him first cast a stone at x her and again he stooped down and wrote x on the ground he diffuses the situation x brother and x sisters x non-threatening he Stoops down and wrote x on the ground what did he x write what was he x writing and they which heard it being x convicted by their own conscience went x out one by one notice carefully x beginning at the eldest even unto the x last the eldest to the youngest why that x order well some say the older we x get the more sin we x commit and the more we become x conscious of our x weaknesses When We're Young we're full x of x idealistic thoughts and we can take on x the x world but as we grow older we realize x just how much we need the x master but notice carefully from the x eldest to the x youngest and again he stooped down and x wrote on the ground what did he write x and they which heard it being convicted x by their own conscience went out one by x one beginning at the x eldest when Jesus was left alone and the x woman standing in the midst when Jesus x had lifted up himself so three lifted up x stoop down up down up down when Jesus x had lifted up himself he said woman x where are where are your x accusers no man hath condemned thee she x said no no man Lord Jesus said to x neither do I condemn thee go and sin no x more but what was he x writing I wonder if Jeremiah 17 helps x let's go there very quickly Jeremiah x chapter x 17 verse x 9 the heart is deceitful above all x things and desperately wicked who can x know it absolutely right it is look how x they treated that x woman x verse x 13 12 for connection a glorious High x Throne from the beginning is the place x of our Sanctuary oh Lord the hope of x Israel all that forsake thee shall be x ashamed and they that depart from me x shall be written in the Earth because x they have forsaken the Lord the Fountain x of Living Waters what was he writing x well he knew what was in man he knew x all was it brothers and sisters that x along with their names in the dust he x wrote things that only they themselves x knew about x themselves bre sisters I'm sure you will x agree with x me that if we knew x everything about x everyone if you knew everything about x me I don't think you probably want me to x speak at your Barber class x again well maybe it's probably feing x might be mutual I don't x know but these are the things brothers x and sisters that the Lord Jesus Christ x he knew x all and just x maybe as they looked and saw what he was x writing x possibly they walked away x way from the eldest to the x youngest now look at verse 14 and think x of the x woman Heal Me Oh Lord and I shall be x healed save me and I shall be saved for x thou art my x praise well brother and sisters just a x couple more minutes you've flown me in x all the way from Birmingham to with you x just two more minutes and brother Jim x it's free of x charge no Bible school fees to x pay last two references if I x may this phrase then from the eldest to x the x youngest come back please to Genesis x chapter x 43 now we we we probably know this one x in Genesis chapter 43 remember when x Joseph's brothers turn up gen genis x 43 and we're going x in uh with with with with the the Sons x The Brothers come and they all sit down x to have a x meal verse 31 of Genesis x 43 and he washed his face Joseph and x went out and refrained himself and said x set on bread and they set on for him by x himself x and for them by themselves and for the x Egyptians which did eat with him by x themselves because the Egyptians might x not eat bread with the Hebrews for that x is an Abomination unto Egyptians x remember we know the x story they had no idea it was x Joseph and they sat before him the x firstborn according to his Birthright x and the youngest according to his x Youth and the men must marveled one at x another hang on a x minute we've come all this way from x Canaan we've got the head of x Egypt and we sit down in a to have a x meal and he sets places for us in x chronological order Ruben Simeon Levi x Judah Dan nathali Gad Asha Isa x zebulin x Joseph he's over there and Benjamin you x know I don't know if you ever seen that x film um uh The Sound of Music you x remember when the the children come down x the stairs and they they're in x regimented x order x now they're x thinking I what are the chances of that x happening I'll tell you it's a x factorial of x 3,991 2016, 800 to1 x no you don't believe me I'll tell you x again it's a factorial of x 3,991 2016, 800 to x one that's the chances of that happening x in that right order Ruben Simeon Levi x Judah Dan as isin Joseph x Benjamin now if you think I'm stretching x the x point he does it the second time because x the first time he saying I know all x about you my x brothers then the silver cup goes x missing remember and then the soldiers x chase after them to get the silver cut x back Genesis uh chapter 44 and verse x 22 Genesis 44 and verse uh verse 10 x 1112 remember then they the soldiers x catch up with them and said look x someone's taking the cup verse 11 then x they speedily took down every man his x sack to the ground and opened every man x his sack notice x carefully there under strict x instructions by x Joseph do it in this x order and he searched and began at the x eldest and left at the youngest why x because I know everything about x you now remember they've been chased and x they sto their carts or whatever they x had and they go to search the sack of x Ruby now I don't think for a moment they x stood in line do you in chronological x order just like Ruben Simeon levo and x Judah they weren't regimented as that x Ruby standing over there so to go to him x then they go to Simeon over there Levi x Judah Dan naala Gad aser Isa x zebulun Benjamin he's the last one x verse 12 and he searched and began at x the eldest and left at the youngest and x the cup was found in Benjamin x sck 3 million x 96,00 to one factorial and he does it x twice now brother Steve you're you're a x numbers x man we get the x point and the point is this brothers and x sister x SS Jesus is saying in the context of x them going from x the eldest to the x youngest I know x everything x Joseph twice from the eldest to the x youngest the Lord Jesus Christ brother x and sisters knows x all and sees x all may it be that x our encounter with the x master because he knows and sees us x all he knows what is in x mind but in that great day when we have x our encounter with the master upon the x day of x judgment he will find some good thing in x us pray x God we will be there through his x Mercy to enter into his ever ever x lasting x Kingdom x amen
