"Faithful Unto Death: Embracing God's Promises" by Denver Young

I appreciate it very much, somebody thinking of me and got the

chair for me. And I told them I'll see how it goes without it.

If I need it, I'll use it. I'm not ashamed to use

it. I stand up all

I can, do fairly well as long

as I got something to steady me. But if I have something not to steady

me, don't count on me standing very long. If there's a movement

around me. Appreciate very much everyone's

presence this evening. And I was talking about last week, you know,

talking about church attendance,

worship assembly attendance, all those things that

we should count as a norm, not an

exception. And that's the way I was brought up,

but as thing to do.

And I've noticed over the years, seems like the key

ingredient— talking about faithful unto death and talking

about being faithful throughout life— I think

one of the key ingredients is that how faithful are we in our

attendance? Not only are we commanded to assemble

and worship and so forth, but also points

out in the Scripture very plainly the benefits it is for us

if we do that. And I think that's the key ingredient to keeping

us faithful as we assemble together, as we come

even midweek. Of course, I recognize I'm talking to the

wrong audience about this, but I think the more we participate,

the more we study, the more we learn, I think that's the key ingredient

that we stay faithful throughout life.

I want to talk tonight some about the fact

of being faithful unto death and being

faithful throughout life. Also,

I want to talk some about the

fact that as we learn and as we study,

we become more dependent and more understanding

on the promises that God has made to us. And that's

what I was talking about tonight. Neil put that in as

Embracing God's promises. And I think

as we go throughout scripture, starting all the way from

the foundations of the world, the very earliest time

in history, it's been God's

plan that we have a Redeemer.

And he promised that to us. He promised to us that

we would have a Redeemer.

And I know there's a lot of challenges

and so forth comes about when we think about different things, but when

we really put our mind to it and we think about the promises

that God has made to us, and we think about

his fulfillment of the promises that he has made in the past that have

come about, we can be fully assured

as the Scripture tells us that what God says he will do, he will do.

And I don't think any of us here this evening has any doubt whatsoever that

what God tells us he will do, that it will come about.

But in the very beginning of time, God had

in mind, even before the foundation of the world, that we were

going to have a Redeemer. And it's promised

to us in Genesis 3:15, the first

Genesis 3:15

announcement I think here of a Savior coming.

It tells us about— let's look at that in Genesis

Genesis 3 · chapter mention

chapter 3, beginning at verse 15.

When man fell in the garden,

even before he pronounced the curse upon the man,

he made this statement. He said that there is going

to be a redeemer.

Genesis 3:15,

Genesis 3:15

and I will put enmity between you and the woman.

Let's back up just a little bit and get the full context of that.

So the Lord, in verse 14, so the

Lord God said to the serpent, because you

have done this, you are cursed more than all cattle,

and more than every beast of the field. On your

belly you shall go, and you shall eat dust all

the days of your life. You know, there's no lower

place than on your belly eating dust, is it? But that's a curse

that God put on the serpent. Then it goes on and says,

I will put enmity between you and the woman,

between your seed and her seed. He shall bruise

your head, and you shall bruise his heel.

To the woman he said, I will greatly multiply your sorrow

in your conception; in pain you shall bring forth children.

Your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you.

Then he tells Adam the curse that he has. Then to Adam he said,

because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the

tree, of which I commanded you, saying, you shall not eat of it.

Cursed is the ground for your sake; toil

you shall eat of it all the days of your life.

Thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you; and you shall eat the

herb of the field. In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread,

till you return unto the ground; for out of it you were taken,

dust you are, to dust you shall return.

That curse was placed on Adam. That curse follows us

today. We go out, we plant, we plant

the seed, also thistles come forth, and we still

have to toil and sweat in order to earn a living.

That's the curse that was placed on Adam. However, God promised

that there would be a time when there would be a Savior.

Let's look now at Titus 1:2.

Titus 1:2

Titus 1:2.

Titus 1:2

To get

the context, let's go up to verse 1. Paul, a bondservant of God, and the

apostle of Jesus Christ according to the faith of God, elect acknowledgment

of the truth which accords with godliness

in hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie,

promised before time began.

So wasn't Titus saying— Paul writing Titus said,

when did God promise this? Before time

began. You know, when God promises something,

He promised that we'd have a Savior. So what happened?

In the fullness of time, that means, simply means that when

time was right in God's time, a Savior came

to this world. He went to the cross,

shed his blood, gave his life that we can have

life. Back up to 2 Timothy 1:9.

2 Timothy 1:9

2 Timothy 1:9.

2 Timothy 1:9

Let's go back to verse 8: Therefore do not be

ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner,

but share with me in the suffering for the gospel according to the power of

God, who has saved us, called us

with a holy calling, Not according to our works, but according

to his own purpose and grace which was given to us

in Christ Jesus, when? Before time

began. 1 Peter chapter 1.

1 Peter 1 · chapter mention

1 Peter chapter 1, verse 19 and 21.

1 Peter 1:19

19 through 21.

But with the precious blood of Christ, as a lamb

without blemish, without spot, he indeed was foreordained

before the foundation of the world. When? Before the foundation

of the world. But was manifest in these last days for

you, Who through him believe in God, who raised him

from the dead, gave him glory, so that your

faith and hope are in God.

So we see in all these passages here the promises that

was made, promise of a coming Savior.

He came in the fullness of time.

He went to the cross. He shed his blood.

He was buried. He was resurrected.

He brought in the new covenant. He also brought

in the latter days, which are the days between the

cross and the second coming of Christ.

And he brought all this in as was promised by God

before time. So we think

about the promises that God had made even before

the time, beginning of time. And we go back

and think about those things and we see

where these promises has already come into being.

These promises all came into being according to God's

timetable at the time that he wanted to bring

them into effect. So we talk about embracing God's

promise. What are we talking about? We're talking about choosing

to actively trust. We're talking about

believing. We're talking about live by

the assurance and the commitments that

God makes in his Word. You know, an active

trust We actively trust something, we believe

fully in it. We believe in it enough that we can put

all of our trust and assurance in it. And we

know the Scripture, we can rely fully upon God's character.

When life is certainty of God, his character

always demonstrated what he promised he will do.

He does not change. You know, the world changes.

A lot of things changes. But it says God is

the same today, tomorrow, yesterday, and forever.

God is not changing. So he does not change as

the world changes, and he is completely dependable.

Let's look at Psalms chapter 37.

Psalms 37 · chapter mention

In Psalm chapter 37, we see the assurances that

Psalms 37 · chapter mention

God has promised unto those that are faithful to him.

Let's start in verse 23.

The psalmist says that the steps of a good

man are ordered by the Lord.

That simply means that steps that we take day to day,

do we let the Lord, do we let God direct those

steps, or do we try to direct those steps on

our own? You know, scripture says it's not within

man to direct his own ways. We're dependent

upon God to direct our steps.

God created us. He knows what's in us.

And he says it's not in us to direct our own steps.

He says, the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord.

He delights in his way. Though he

fall, he shall not utterly be cast

down. Now there's a difference in stumbling and falling

than it is being cast down and can't get up, isn't it?

God provides a way for us to get back up.

He's got that ever-loving hand there ready to lift us back

up. Just as the parable of the prodigal son,

God is watching for us to get back

up. He's wanting us back up. He's inviting

us back up. And simply by prayer, repentance and prayer,

we can get back up when we stumble and when we fall.

Then he goes on and says this very interesting thing. He says,

I've been young and now am old.

You have not seen the righteous forsaken nor

his descendants begging bread. He is ever

merciful and

his descendants are blessed. And he says,

Depart from evil and do good, and dwell

forevermore. For the Lord loves justice and does not

forsake his saints. They are preserved forever,

but the descendants of the wicked will be cut off.

The righteous shall inherit the land and dwell in it

forever. It's God's promise to the righteous

that we will have an inheritance. What's he promised to

the wicked? That they will be cut off. God's promises

are true, and they are faithful. And just as he says they will

do, they will do. So as we

look at that particular passage there,

it gives us an indication how steady God's

hand is with us. Ultimate justice for

the righteous, Compared to the fleeting path of the wicked.

God is forever there. He will not

let his saints be forsaken.

Let's look at 2 Peter chapter 3.

2 Peter 3 · chapter mention

In that particular passage it's talking about, or that particular chapter

is talking about the fact that God

is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness,

but he's longsuffering. And we should appreciate the fact that

God is longsuffering with us. How many

times have we needed God to be longsuffering with us?

Every day that he waits about coming again,

that gives opportunity to those that have not— that is not obedient

to the plan of salvation. Every day there's

those added. The Lord adds to the church daily those that are being

saved. So if he's slack concerning his promise,

it's not slackness, but it's rather giving

opportunity for repentance.

Let's look at that chapter just for a moment.

Beloved, I write to you this second epistle,

in both which to stir up your pure minds, By the

way of reminder. Peter many times talks

about the fact of reminding. And we all need

to be reminded from time to time, don't we? We need to understand

that we are forgetful people. And that's one benefit

of coming together in midweek or whenever we assemble together to study the scriptures,

to remind each other. Probably I'll not tell y'all anything

you haven't heard many times. But we can remind each other of things

that we already know, and we can emphasize

things that we might need to work on. And we might remind each other

that there are some things that we need reminding of,

we maybe haven't thought about for a while.

But Peter says that we remind each other of these

things, that you may be mindful of the words which

were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandments

of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior. In other words,

he said, mind those things that's been spoken to you.

We mind those things that we're taught every time we come together.

We're minded of those things that Neil and Harm

brings to us. We're reminded— we mind ourselves of those things

that's taught in classes. Knowing this first,

that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts.

That's really a promise to us that we're going to have scoffers, and we have

them. And they're going to be walking in their

own lusts. They're going to try to deceive. They're going to try to

place doubt on the Lord's second coming.

Whatever they can do to hinder us in

our worship and service of God, they're going to try to do.

They come in the last days. The last days

are all the days between the cross and the coming of the Lord

the second time. And saying, then they say,

where is the promise of his coming?

What's that question for? That question is to put doubt in

the mind of the believers. They say,

where is that? He said he's going to come. He promised to come. Where's he

at? I think in the New— probably in

the New Testament, I don't know. I've never counted them, but it seems like I

read or heard that over 300 times

we're told that the Lord is coming again, second time.

We're told that. And it's implied a lot more

times. And he is coming again.

Let's not be like the lady was that went to the— every

time she went to service in a little country church, she wanted to sit on

the front seat up next to where the preacher was. And the

preacher was preaching one day and he said, he's going

to quote the scripture. He wants to quote the scripture

in Revelation that says, behold, I come, and he couldn't remember the rest of the

word. So he backs up and he tries it again the second time.

He says, behold, I come. It just couldn't come to him.

So he thought the third time was a charm. He backed up and said,

behold, I come. He stepped too far. That time

he went in her lap of the little lady and she said,

He's quite embarrassed. You said, it's not your fault.

It's not your fault at all. You told me 3 times you was coming and

I didn't do anything about it. Well, the Lord tells us

over 300 times he's coming.

We need to do something else about it.

So when we think about what Peter says here in

the latter days, there's going to be scoffers,

trying to deter us from doing what's right,

trying to get us off track. He says, knowing this first, as they

come walking according to their own lusts. And then

verse 4, he says, saying, where is the promise of his coming? For since the

fathers fell asleep, all things continue as it was from the beginning of creation.

Now verse 5 explains this. Peter explains this, for the

And this they willfully— what's it mean willfully?

That means intentionally. Willfully forget,

that by the Word of God the heavens were of

old, the earth standing out of the water and in the water,

by which the world that then existed perished,

being flooded by water, but the heavens and the earth which

are now preserved by the same Word,

are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and prediction

of ungodly men. What's God promising us first?

No, he promised he wasn't going to destroy the world by water

anymore, but he also promised here he's going to destroy it by fire, didn't he?

But the heavens and the earth,

now preserved by the same word,

same word that God used to create the heavens and the earth, are also

preserved Until fullness

of time comes when it's time to be no more.

But beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is

a thousand years and a thousand years is one

day. Time has no effect on God.

The Lord is not slack, in verse 9,

concerning his promise, as some men count slackness.

But he is longsuffering toward us, not willing any should perish,

all should come to repentance. Now verse 10,

he says, the day of the Lord will come.

That's a promise. As a thief in the night,

heavens will pass away with a great noise,

elements will melt with fervent heat,

Both the earth and the works that are in it will be

Therefore, now notice what it says here. Therefore, if all

these things are to be dissolved,

what manner of person ought ye to be in holy conduct

and godliness? So all these things, if all these

things are going to come about, What the

question is asking us, what kind of conduct, what kind

of way of life should we and best we be

living? Since all these things will be dissolved,

what manner of person? What kind of person are we?

Are we ready for the Lord's coming? Have we done everything

we can to prepare ourselves for the Coming of the Lord,

all these things are going to be dissolved. What manner of

conduct and godliness?

Now, if we're ready, we know

all these things are going to be burned up, all things are going to be

destroyed, all things melt away. And if

we really believe that,

And we're ready. Verse 12 says,

and we can be looking for, and we can be hasting

to the coming of the day of God, because of which

the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire,

and elements will melt with fervent heat. Nevertheless,

we, according to a new promise, look for new heavens and a

new earth in which righteousness dwells.

He says in verse 14, be diligent, be found

by him in peace, without spot

and blameless. And consider

the longsuffering of our Lord as salvation,

as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom

given to him, has written to you.

And also in all his epistles, speaking in them of

these things, some hard to understand,

which untaught and unstable people twist in

their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scripture.

But beloved, since ye know this beforehand,

beware lest ye also fall away from your own

steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked,

but grow in the grace and the knowledge of our Lord and Savior

Jesus Christ. To him be glory now and forever. Amen.

So the key to this passage is that we grow,

that we study, that we know, that we recognize the

fact that these people come in to destroy our faith.

Let's go to Galatians chapter 6.

Galatians 6 · chapter mention

And Galatians chapter 6 talks about this

Galatians 6 · chapter mention

present life and sowing either

to the flesh or to the Spirit.

Galatians chapter 6, let's go down to verse 6

Galatians 6 · chapter mention

through 10.

Says, be generous, at the heading of that passage. Be generous

and do good. Let him who is taught the Word

share in all good things with him who teaches.

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows,

that he will also reap. He who sows to

the flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who

sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

And let us not grow weary while doing good.

In due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.

Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good

to all, especially those who are of the household of faith.

In this present life,

we invest our time, we invest

our finances, we invest what we have in

one of two ways. That's either sowing

to the flesh or sowing to the Spirit.

He says that as we do this,

He outlined— Paul outlines here practical

duties regarding

Christians. And one of those is generosity.

One of them is accountability. And one of them is steadfastness.

He begins out by talking about, let him who is taught

the Word Sure in all good things with him who teaches.

That simply is telling us that as we have opportunities,

we have the means to do so, let us

support those that are going into the field to carry

the gospel, missionaries, preachers,

whoever needs support. We may not be able to do it ourselves.

We may not be able to go ourselves. But let us support

those that are doing that with the means that

we have to do so.

Also, it talks about accountability.

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked. Whatever a man

sows, that will he also reap. We're going to be

held accountable for what we sow while we're here upon this earth.

We're going to reap what we sow. If we sow the

flesh, he says, you're going to reap corruption and ruin.

If we sow the Spirit, we will reap eternal life.

How are we sowing? So he talks about the fact that we sow and

we will give accountability for that. And he

goes on and talks about being steadfast, not to grow weary

in well-doing, In due season we will reap if we faint not.

Therefore, as we have opportunity, do good to all, especially unto the household

of faith. You know, God has blessed this country

in which we live, and the Scriptures

does teach us that where a lot is given,

a lot is required. We look at the population

of the world, maybe this country has somewhere around 5 5.5%

of the population of the world, but you know it has 35%

or more of the financial goods of

the world. God's entrusted to us as stewards a

lot of goods, and he expects us to use those the

very best way we can. So as we have opportunity, let us do

good to all men, especially unto those of the household of faith.

Let's go to 2 Timothy chapter 4, 6 through 8.

2 Timothy 4 · chapter mention

Paul lived a life that as

he gets ready to part this life,

He lived a life where he could look back over it and he could say,

yes, I fought a good fight.

He looked at the present and said, I've kept the faith.

He looked to the future and says that there's a crown of life

laid up for me.

And as he says in verse 6, I am ready,

already being poured out. A drink offering.

He said, the time of my departure is at hand.

I fought the good fight, I have finished the race,

I've kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up

for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge,

will give me on that day,

not to me only, but also to all who has loved

his appearing. Paul recognized the

fact that he'd run a good race.

He recognized the fact that he taught he had finished the course.

He recognized the fact that he would have that

crown of life. You know, we think

about death, sometimes we think about it as a dark

place. We think about it as departing

in sadness and grief, but you know, the Christian

certainly should have a different attitude toward

death than what someone that doesn't have hope of life

eternal has. Paul refers to death

in several different ways.

As he faces death, he refers

to death in different kinds of terms.

One time he calls it departure. He said, the time of my departure

is at hand. And refers

to it as to be with Christ in Philippians 1:23.

Philippians 1:23

He refers to it as to be at home with the Lord,

2 Corinthians 5:8. He also

2 Corinthians 5:8

refers to death as a gain. We don't hear that very often,

do we? He referred to life— or to

death as a gain over life.

And it is to those that are saved.

Also, he also referred to it as being far better Philippians

Philippians 1:23

1:23. Also refers to it as

falling asleep in Jesus, 1 Thessalonians 4:14.

1 Thessalonians 4:14

In other places, Scripture refers to death as precious

in the sight of God, Psalms 116:15.

Psalms 116:15

Also refers to us as being carried away by the angels to Abraham's

bosom. Luke 16:22, as was the

Luke 16:22

beggar. Also refers to it going to paradise,

Luke 23:43. Going to the house

Luke 23:43

with many mansions, John 14:2.

John 14:2

All these things are promised. To the faithful Christian,

death is not a dark place, but rather it

is going to the house with many mansions.

It should be a joyful release from the

bonds of this world into

the presence of God. So we can think— a

Christian can think of death in that manner. It's a joyful

release from the bonds of this world to be in the presence of God.

Revelation 14, verse 13: From

now on. Yea, saith the Spirit, they may rest from

their labors, and their works do follow them.

We also come to the resurrection.

We all think about that from time to time.

God has promised unto us that Jesus is

the firstfruits of the resurrection. Jesus is the firstfruits,

there's gonna be others. Those others are faithful Christians at

the time of death or at the time the Lord comes again.

Talks about this in 1 Corinthians chapter 15.

1 Corinthians 15 · chapter mention

Verse 50,

and this is talking about our final victory. Now this

I say, brethren, flesh and blood cannot

inherit the kingdom of God, nor does corruption

inherit incorruption. Behold,

I tell you a mystery, We shall

not all sleep, but we all shall be

changed, in a moment, twinkle of an eye,

at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound,

the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall

be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption,

mortal must put on immortality. And when

this corruption has put on incorruption, this mortal

has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying

that is written, death is swallowed up in victory.

O death, where is your sting? O Hades,

where is your victory? The sting of death is sin,

the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God,

who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast,

immovable, always abounding

in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is

not in vain in the Lord.

This is a promise that's made to us in the resurrection.

This old body is sown,

goes back to the earth from which it came.

Spirit circles back to God who gave it.

But he says, in the resurrection, this old corruptible body will

be resurrected a spiritual body,

incorruptible, immortal,

to live forever.

We can't really wrap our mind around a statement

like that. It's hard for us to understand

because we don't— we haven't seen it.

But by faith and the promises God has made,

we are fully assured that that is the

way it will be in the resurrection.

This corruptible body will be raised incorruptible.

This mortal body will be raised immortality.

And as Christ is the firstfruits of the resurrection,

we know that we too will be

resurrected. 1 Thessalonians,

1 Thessalonians chapter 4,

1 Thessalonians 4 · chapter mention

13. Get us some more insight into

the resurrection.

Here Paul writing to the Thessalonians says, I don't want you to be ignorant

concerning those who have fallen asleep.

Simply means, I want you to know about this.

They was concerned about those of their folks

that had passed on. They're concerned about the fact

that maybe those that were still living when Christ returns again

would hinder those that already died, already passed

on. But Paul says, don't worry about this.

Don't be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep.

You don't need to sorrow as others who have no

hope. Those that have fallen asleep simply means those that have fallen

asleep in the Lord. He's talking about Christians here.

Ones that falls asleep that's not in the Lord, they have no hope.

For we believe that Jesus died and rose again.

Even so, God will bring with him those who sleep

in Jesus. You know, promises that are made

are made sometimes they're conditional promises and sometimes

unconditional. Those unconditional promises

don't require anything of us to receive that promise.

But the conditional promises requires action on our parts to

receive that promise. And here that condition

on our part If we're going to be resurrected like he talks

about here, is to be in the Lord.

Sleep in Jesus. That simply means when we die,

we're in the Lord. For this we say

to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain

until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede

those who are asleep. It's not

going to be no hindrance to those that are asleep when the Lord comes again

because they're going to be the first. For the Lord himself

will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel,

and with the trumpet of God, and the dead will rise first.

Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them

in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.

Thus we shall always be with the Lord.

Therefore comfort one another with these words.

So we have the promises that's made concerning the resurrection.

There's others. There's others. That's 2 that we looked

at tonight. There's also going to be, in the few minutes

we have left, there's also going to be a welcoming. Matthew 25.

There's going to be a welcoming promised to those that are

faithful until death or faithful through

life. Matthew 25.

We know this parable of the talents. Let's go for the sake of time

to verse 20. It says, so he that received

the 5 talents came and brought 5 other talents, saying,

Lord, you delivered to me 5 talents. I've gathered 5 more talents

besides them. His lord said to him, well done, good and faithful

servant. You were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler

over many. Enter into

the joy of the Lord. And to likewise,

he brought 2 more. And he said— and

the lord said to him, well done, good and faithful servant.

You've been faithful over a few things, I'll make you ruler over many.

Enter into the joys of the Lord. The Lord has promised unto us

a welcoming if we've been faithful.

If we've been faithful in using our talents, doing what we should,

he promised to welcome us in.

And the final one, let's look at 1 Corinthians 15.

1 Corinthians 15, we'll start with verse 20.

But now Christ is risen from the dead,

has become the firstfruits. And we talked about, you know, Christ is the firstfruits,

then there are other fruits to follow. That'll be us.

Of those who have fallen asleep. For since by

man came death,

Also by man also came the resurrection of the dead.

For as in Adam all die, talking about the

physical death, because of the sin of Adam, we all die a physical death.

Even so in Christ all shall be made alive.

But each one in his own order.

Christ the firstfruits, Afterward,

those who are Christ's at his coming.

Then comes the end, when he delivers

the kingdom to God the Father, when he puts an end to

all rule and to all authority and

power. He must reign till he has put

all enemies under his feet. The last enemy

that shall be destroyed is death,

For he has put all things under his feet.

But when he says, all things are put under him, it is

evident that he who puts all things

under him is excepted, that is, God. Now when all things

are made subject to him, then the Son himself

will also be subject to him who put all things

under him. That God may be all in

all. Promise that made, that's the end.

That's the end. Church transferred

from earth to heaven. And that's the end.

Y'all have any comments or anything you'd like to say?

As they tell the Apostle Paul when he was speaking, if you have something to

say, say on. Years ago, when I

was a college student, one of my Bible teachers told us about when he

was a Bible student in college. One of his teachers

told him, and that was at a time when

people were predicting the end of the world, somebody asked

him, how come you're out looking for Jesus today?

You know he's coming today. He said, no, he's not.

He said he's coming at a time when we're not looking for

him. Yeah, that's a good statement there.

Matter of fact, the scripture teaches things are going to be going as normal,

like it was in the days of Noah. We know that.

Thank you.
