Keep teaching the next generation
Apr 700:01:00Summary ready“There arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.” There is something that we need to keep in mind as a tremendous lesson here. I’ve often wondered why these movements today who specialize in reaching children have not used this verse. It should be used. There is a continual and a continuous responsibility of teaching the Word of God to each generation, because if you don’t, why the time will come and they’ll forget all about you. There’s always the new generation coming on that never heard about the Lord Jesus Christ and, therefore, it’s always necessary to teach the next generation.
SummaryImportant steps to faith
Apr 600:01:00Summary ready“And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said.” And these are steps that every individual should take before he witnesses. First, “He is not here: for he is risen as he said.” Now there must be a conviction of that. “Come, see the place where the Lord lay.” Have it settled in your own mind that Jesus died and rose again from the dead. And then we’re to go and we’re to tell. “And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead.”
SummaryThe age of grace
Apr 300:01:00Summary readyYou and I today are living in what is called the Age of Grace or, actually, it’s the Age of the Holy Spirit. Because, you see, you and I are living at a time when God saves by grace, not by Law, not by keeping the Law, not by following a law. We’re not saved by anything that we do. Frankly, friends, you are not a Christian until you believe something; and that something is “that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.” Now, that’s the gospel. That’s what saves you.
SummaryHe keeps us
Mar 3100:01:00Summary ready“And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?” Every one of those men knew that he had it within him to betray Christ. Have you discovered that in your own heart and life? Friends, you and I are just that mean and low. Oh, you say, “I wouldn’t do it.” Are you sure about that? May I say even right now you ought to cry out to Him for mercy. I do it every now and then because I know He has to keep me. May He keep you and me.
SummaryAll will stand in His presence
Mar 3000:01:00Summary readyWe ought to live our lives in the light of the fact we’re to stand in the presence of Christ. And did you notice I didn’t say “in light of the coming of Christ.” Now I don’t care whether His coming is 100 years from today or 1,000 years, you and I are to stand in His presence. And whether you’re saved or lost, you’re going to stand in His presence. If you’re saved, you will have to give an account of your life to see whether you receive a reward. And if you’re lost, you’ll stand there to be judged. So, every person should live his life in light of the fact he’s to stand in the presence of the Lord.
SummaryWe are law breakers
Mar 2700:01:00Summary readyGod has never had but one way of saving men; that’s by the cross of Christ. Everything before He came looked to the cross of Christ; everything since He’s come looks back to the cross of Christ. How did it look forward? At the heart of the Mosaic system was the sacrificial system, and every person brought a little lamb. You see, the Law never saved; it was given to reveal that they were law breakers, that they were not obeying God, and that they did need to have a substitute, that a penalty had to be paid. And today that’s the only purpose the Law serves for us. My friend, you’re a law breaker; you’re a sinner. You need a Savior. That’s the important thing.
SummaryTake the lowest place
Mar 2600:01:00Summary ready“Whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; and whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant.” This is a new approach to service and greatness and, certainly, this is something that ought to be very clear in the minds of those who are engaged in Christian service. My friend, if you’re going to sing for the Lord, please, don’t try to walk over all of the other soloists. And then don’t try to push every other minister aside if you’re trying to be a minister of the gospel. May I say to you, our Lord’s made that clear. The way to be great and the way to serve for Him is to go take the lowest place.
SummaryYour place in heaven
Mar 2500:01:00Summary readyHeaven is for the asking. You do nothing—nothing—in order to be saved. But, my friend, your place, your position, your reward in heaven is determined by what you do down here. Don’t forget that. That’s very important. Christians have lost sight of it. He says, “It’s not Mine to give; I will not arbitrarily give it. You will prepare yourself for that.” By the way, what kind of a place are you preparing yourself for? I have no ambition for the place to the right hand or to the left. I think I missed that one. But friends, all of us ought to work for a place up there, but you don’t work for heaven. That is by faith in Christ through His marvelous grace.
SummaryHave you been faithful to the task?
Mar 2400:01:00Summary readyIt’s not the amount of time that you serve or the prominence and importance of your position which determines your reward. It’s your faithfulness to the task God’s given you to perform regardless of how small or how short or how very insignificant it might appear. I’ve always felt that the Lord someday will call up some dear little lady. She never spoke to thousands like some evangelist or some preacher. She had one little boy. And that’s all God asked her to do; to be faithful, and she was faithful. He’s not going to reward you about the amount of work you’ve done; it’s going to be how faithful you were. Whether you did the job He called you to do.
SummaryThe unknown saints
Mar 2300:01:00Summary ready“Everyone that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.” There is a reward for those who, having been saved, sacrificed for Jesus’ sake. Many an unknown saint today of whom the world has not heard is going to be given first place in His presence someday. I believe that’s going to be one of the most revealing things when we come into the presence of God to find out that the ones you’ll hear of are unknown saints of God.
