Sermon Summary
In this sermon, the speaker discusses a story from the Bible about a group of people who challenged Moses' leadership. They questioned why Moses was the one in charge and claimed that they could do the same job. This angered Moses, and he declared that those who opposed him would die. Miraculously, the earth opened up and swallowed the rebels, proving that Moses was chosen by God. The speaker then transitions to discussing the importance of salvation and urges the audience to accept Jesus into their lives.
Sermon Transcription
Before we pray, I have a message I want to read to you, the old familiar section of the Resurrection of Christ. In the end of the Sabbath, actually that's the Sabbath day, there's seven holy days, this is the end of it, the last one. As it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see this epitaph. And behold, there was a great earthquake, for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone from the door and sat upon it. His countenance was like lightning and his raiment white as smoke. And for fear of him the keepers did shake and became a dead man. And the angel answered and said unto the woman, Fear not, ye, for I know that you seek Jesus which is crucified. He is not here, for he has risen as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead. And behold, he goes before you into Galilee. There shall you see him. Lo, I have told you. And they departed quickly from the Sabbath day with fear and great joy and did run to bring his disciples word. And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet and worshipped him. Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid. Go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee. And there shall they see him. He has arisen for them and met Solomon. Let's bow for prayer. Father, we want Christ to be lifted up now. As we look to your word, there is something about Jesus Christ that has attracted the world. He has been an attraction of novelty, an attraction of hatred, an attraction of adoration. But whatever it is, we know that we cannot ignore the fact that he rose from the dead on the third day. He was seen and witnessed and he still lives today. Men and women all over this world for centuries have given testimony that he lives in their lives. Father, pray that there is one here today that is not living in the fact that Christ is living in their life, that the Spirit of God would tell them, show them and rebuild them that unless they have Christ, they don't have life. For you're talking about a resurrection life. Thank you now for this time we have. In Jesus' name. Amen. If you'll turn back to Exodus chapter 3, Exodus is the resurrection book of the Old Testament. You didn't know that, did you? Chapter 3 is a resurrection chapter. Matter of fact, there's a lot of them. There's the Passover. The Passover. Actually, Easter means Passover. Jesus, God said, when I see the blood, I will Passover you. If you look in your Bible, you'll find the word Easter in there, but that's not in the Greek. The word in the Greek would be Passover. This is a Passover. And Christ rose from the dead. He shed his blood. And now God, when he sees the blood of Christ that's been accepted by us as our sacrifice, he passes over us in the sense that we don't go through the judgment. Exodus chapter 3. We're in the tenth lesson of our study on Moses, the servant of God. And it's amazing how God puts things together. We're looking at Moses' second excuse and second fear. And I didn't realize this ahead of time, but this is a resurrection section that we're going to be in today. Exodus chapter 3 and verses 13 through 22 deals with Moses' second excuse why he should not go back to Egypt and deliver the Israelites out of bondage. And the answer that God gives to him is his name. And his name is the name of life. And God is saying to him, I am light. And I want you to go back to them and tell them that I am going to bring them up out of the land of affliction. That's a resurrection term. The first excuse that Moses gave God was, I don't have the ability. And God says, I'll just go with you. I will be your ability. And now Moses says in Exodus 3, if you want to read, Moses said unto God, Behold, when I am come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you, and they shall say unto me, What is his name? What shall I say unto them? First of all, he said, I don't have any ability. Now he says, I don't have any authority. No ability, no authority. What am I going to say? And he says, you tell them this. You say unto them, That I am that I am. And he said, Thus shall I say unto the children of Israel, I am hath sent me unto you. Now this is a term that Moses used only with the children of Israel. It's a name of God. It's the name that also you may not be aware of that Jesus used many times. One of the times that he used it is that they were going to stone him. Because they wanted to know when did he encounter him. He said, Before Abraham was, I am. He used that same term and they knew what he was saying. He said, I am the same one that appeared to Moses. I am the same one that appeared back to Abraham. I was before Abraham. I am. He used the same name. You don't do that unless you're the same person. He says, I'm God. And so God tells him, Here's my name. You give it to him. So he enters the second of five fears with this thing of his name. And it's a promise. He says, You use this. You've got it. You've got my name. Now Exodus, as I said, is a book about resurrection. It started off with a type of the resurrection of Christ. And if you go through the Old Testament, all through the Old Testament, from the beginning to the end, you'll find types of Christ. His death, his burial, and his resurrection. Remember when Moses was put in the basket and put in the water? That was a picture of death. Burial when he was put in and he was raised back up. Resurrection. And even back over in verse 6, a couple weeks ago, one of the things that God told Moses when he met him at the bush, he says, I am the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. That is the same answer that Jesus gave, described in the Pharisees when they asked him about the resurrection. He used that. He says, I am the God of the living. They say, is there a resurrection? They had this question. This woman had a husband. Actually, I think she had six or seven. They died. And they said, who is she going to be in the resurrection? And then he explained that their theology was faulty. They were really trying to get him pinned down on something. It got him stringed out. But in the process, he explained to them that he was the resurrection. He said, haven't you read? He took them back to this term. Exodus is a book of resurrection. Now, Moses is afraid to go in his own name. You see, he took out, first of all, and tried to deliver him in his own name. He says, I am really something. And then he failed. And God had him out in the desert for 40 years. And now God is going to send him back in his name and his power. He says, I don't have any authority. And God says, my name is going to be your authority. It is the same thing. We trust Christ as our Savior. And we say, I can't tell others about Christ. But Jesus says, you do it. You go. And he says, you go in my name. And then if they don't believe you, it's not your fault. It's between me and them. If someone tells you about Jesus Christ, that he died on the cross for your sins, that he was buried and rose again the third day, and you need to repent of your sins because Christ is your Savior, and you don't do it. Or you get mad at the person that tells you that you're a sinner. And I've had that happen a lot of times. We don't like people to tell us that we're sinners. You are saying to God, I don't like what I hear. And many times, it's been taken out on the messenger. But he's not in his own name. He's coming in the authority of another. And so we go in the authority of Christ. He says, in the name. He says, you go in my name. You're baptized in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Well, what we want to do this morning is just find out what did the name mean to Moses? What did it mean to Israel? And what does it mean to us? We're going to learn some interesting things in this little study. Now, let's take off right away. What did the name mean to Moses? Moses is saying, I need some authority for this job. God, you want me to go back? I'm going to go tootling in there, and they're going to say, who sent you, fella? Alex. We don't know you. But he's going to come in there, and he's going to say, I'm here in the name of God. And next week we're going to get into this. He's going to say, what if they don't believe me? That's his next one. Moses got it all thought out. He doesn't want to go. He's scared. Actually, he's a fine spirit. We're going to deal with that next week. But you just go. You go in my name. Have you ever done something in somebody else's name that really gave you some clout? People would snap at you. They'd say, well, I'm here in so-and-so's name. You'd say, oh. When you come in, they don't even look up hardly. And you say, well, I'm here representing so-and-so. That's what it's fun to do. One time I was given some secret orders to take across Turkey for a NATO exercise. I couldn't get much done by myself. But once they handed me these orders, man, they gave me a room at the fancy motel. It wasn't a motel over in Turkey. It was an anchor. It was like a hilton or something. They gave me a chauffeur with a land rover. And we took off. And I had to deliver these orders. And it was a remote area. And I remember where we traveled down. I'd get out, and I'd go to dinner. I had to carry this satchel with me everywhere I went. I had to sit on it when I ate dinner and everything. It was the burden of my life. And I spent, for five years, actually, being responsible for this information up here, this secret order. But I had all the authority in the United States Air Force and the NATO command behind me. And so when I went here and here and here, and I'd say, I'm here in the name of Flinto, boy, they would pop to, and things clicked. Then when it was all over, we were back to, well, that's who, you know. Who's who? But when we go in the name of God, and we talk about Christ, we're an ambassador. And if they refuse us, they're really going to refuse the one that sent us. So it's a very serious thing to reject God's messenger. Now, Moses says, you know, I don't have any authority. God says, I am your authority. When he says, I am, he's saying, I am self-existent. I just, I am. We say, how long has God been? He just says, I am. I've always been. You want to blow your brain and try to figure out where God came from. He just always has been. That's what he says, I am. I've just always been. So you need some authority. He says, I am your authority, Moses. That's what Jesus says, all power. You know when he said, all power is given unto me? That is all authority. All the authority of God is mine. Because I am God. So if you reject Christ, you reject God. If you reject Christ, you reject your own salvation. You do yourself to hell. Well, Moses, Moses goes, we'll get into that later on. And when he goes in his name, we're going to see some amazing things happen as we're doing this little series. For those of you that are visiting, we're doing something like Moses. But as he goes, I picked out one little section in Numbers 16, verse 28. When at one point in time, some of those around Moses, I think they were Levites, Cora, Dathan and I, you know those guys. They got to watching what Moses was doing. They were saying, hey, we can do that. How come you get to do all this? How come you're the chief? We're the little chiefs, you know. How come you are the one that calls the shots? And he says, I am doing it because God told me to do it. Well, they said, we can do it so. And it was really sort of a bad situation because what it turned out, they got Moses riled up. And Moses said, listen, you guys are going to die. And he said, listen, here's how you know that I am representing God. If these guys die a natural death, then I'm not representing God. But he said, if God does something new and he opens up the earth and he swallows up these rebels, then you'll know that God is behind me. And just as the words came out of his mouth, the earth opened up and swallowed those guys and the Bible says they went down to the pit. And then it closed back on them. They took their tents and their families and then they all went down. When someone comes to you in the name of God, they are really representing God. It's a dangerous thing to oppose them. It's a dangerous thing. So Moses said, well, who's going to back me up? And God said, I'm going to try to back you up. Did they get enough? Well, they said, okay. And then he goes to another one. And when he gets all done, he has to go anyway. You know, it just doesn't work to argue with God. If he wants you to do something, you better do it. You better do it. Now, what does God's name mean to Israel? As we go through this passage, it meant to Moses, you know, he had all the authority he needed. But what did it mean to Israel? You see, he's going to deliver Israel. Just as God sent Christ to deliver you, he's going to deliver Israel. Here's what it means to them. They needed freedom. In Exodus 3, 17, God says, And I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt unto the land of Canaan. And then he'll tie us in the Amorites, in other words, there's a bunch of guys living there. They're going to have to go conquer it. But he's going to be with them as they conquer it. But actually, God is saying, I am your freedom. He said to Israel, I am your freedom. To Moses, he says, I am your authority. To Israel, he's going to come, he says, You need freedom. You guys are in bondage. I am your freedom. And when I free you, Egypt won't affect you anymore. When God frees you from sin, when you trust Him as your Savior, you're free. It's like in that film we saw two weeks ago. The little boy, the man in there says you're free. When you trust in Christ, nobody can hurt you. He says, when I free you, you're going to be free. And by the way, he says, when I get done with Egypt, they're not going to hurt anybody because he destroyed their army. He devastated Egypt. Egypt was a power no more. Another power, he says, took over at that point. And here's the point for us. When God destroyed the power of Egypt, it's not affecting Egypt anymore. When God saves you, when the Holy Spirit comes to live within you, He destroys the power of sin over your life. And if you're dominated by sin, and if you're whipped, it's not God's fault. It's your fault. God never did intend for a Christian to live in defeat. He intended that once we came to the cross, we stayed at the cross. The cross is the emblem of death. When we trust Christ, and we identify with Him, we receive Him as our Savior, we are dead to self. And we live to God. When we go to baptism, when we're baptized, we go down into death. It's a picture of, my old life is over. And Christ lives. But, we have problems when we try to come back and live again. That's how we got in the mess in the first place. He says, you just let me direct your life. And you'll find everything you need. I am whatever you need. One of the most amazing things to me, as I put life together for my little experience, is I found that everything I wanted, I lost as I tried to get it myself. And everything I wanted I gained as I just submitted to God and let Him lead and direct my life. Jesus said, seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all these things will be added unto you. Everything you need will be supplied for you. But if you try to make life work for you, it won't work. Now, He said to Egypt, I am your freedom. You need freedom? I'm going to be your freedom. And this is, I was thinking of a passage. Let me write this down. Romans 6, 4 through 6 is a resurrection passage for the Christian. As a matter of fact, Romans 6 is the basis of this study. I'm not going through it a lot of times, but the basis of this study on the life of Moses is Romans 6. Romans 6, verse 4, listen, therefore we are buried with Him, and we're talking about resurrection today is what we're talking about. We celebrate it. I celebrate it every day. He says, we are buried with Him by baptism into death, that like as Christ was raised up from the dead, just as Christ was raised from the dead, even so, it says, by the glory of the Father, even so, we also should walk in newness of life. When we come up and we trust Christ's favor, our life should be new. The Bible says, therefore humanity and Christ is a new creature. The old things are passed away, the new things have come. Let me say this to you very clearly. Some of you may think you're a Christian, and you're no more a Christian than anybody that's never heard of Christ. You may think that you're a Christian because you go to church once a year. You may think that you're a Christian because you live in America, and this isn't a Christian nation. There are other nations that are sending missionaries to us now. They're looking at us, and we're worse than them. You're not a Christian when Christ lives His life through you. You receive Him into yourself, into your life, and He changes your life. A Christian cannot live in sin and be happy with it. You can't do things after you trust Christ. This is what the resurrection is about. It's a new life. Just as Christ said, I rise, conquer death, you rise, you conquer death, and sin. And He's saying to Israel, you're rising to walk a new life. You know that when Abraham Lincoln, January 1, 1963, 12 o'clock noon, when he signed the Emancipation Proclamation, that meant freedom to all the slaves in America. It was no more illegal, it's no more illegal to have a slave. It meant freedom. When Christ rose from the grave, it meant freedom from sin, from death. Death doesn't have any dominion over a Christian. We don't fear death. If we die, we just go to be with the Lord. Paul said, it's gain to me. He said, I don't care, it's just gain, advantage. We don't fear it. Those of you that aren't saved, you'd be afraid to die. You'd be afraid. This is why when we have funerals, so many people get very serious because they can't handle it. The Christian should be able to handle death. He's free. So what it meant to Israel, was they had a new honor, a new lifestyle, new habits. Same thing to us also. And this brings us down to what it does mean to us. Everything it meant to Moses means to us. Everything it meant to Israel means to us. I've been giving you principles to take with you. Take this one. If all God is, and he said this to Moses, this was the message he was saying to Moses. That's what he was saying, all that I am, I am for you. All that I am, all that I am, Moses, I'm for you. And he's saying that to us. He said, all that God is, he is for me. If you're a believer in Christ, then your life should have some control. I got to thinking about this. Sometimes our lives get to going like this, out of control. This last week was one of those in our life there's just so much going on. So many people to work with. So many people coming over and calling. I finally realized, Lord, we're getting, we're getting tired. And that's alright. Jesus, he had that happen in his life too. And the principle that Jesus told his disciples was, let's get away and rest a while. And I said, okay Lord, if this is what we need then, I'm going to bring it to you because I can begin to get growly or something. So I just submitted it to Lord. Lord, if you don't need tonight to get away, then move for life or get away for a little bit. You will be our rest. And take it into your life. Do you have something that's pressing in on you? A decision? A problem? Whatever it is, God says, I am what you need. Whatever it is, I am what you need. And this is exactly what Jesus said. Listen to this. You know, if the world needs peace, well if they get Jesus, they'll get peace because he says, he said, peace I give you. Peace is when it gives peace. And I went down through a list of things. This isn't all of them. But listen, he says, I am peace, I am light, I am bread, I am water, I am the door, I am the way, I am the shepherd. He says, I am. He used the term, I am. So if you're troubled, he says, I am peace. Bring yourself to me. Come to me. I am peace. He says, if you're in darkness, he says, I am light. If you're hungry, he says, I am bread. If you're thirsty, I am water. If you need direction, I am the door. If you need some help in decisions, he says, come to me. I will be the way. I'll show the way. Whatever it is. If you need protection, he says, I am the shepherd. I'm the good shepherd. And I got to thinking about this. It just popped into my mind. What do we quote from Psalm 1611? I haven't even looked it up yet. Psalm 1611. Anybody can quote that? The joy of the Lord is your strength. Now what is your strength? The joy? No. Joy isn't your strength. It is the joy of the Lord. The joy comes from the Lord. My joy comes from the Lord. We've got to focus now on joy. Boy, I need some joy. I'm sad. I need some joy. So you pump up joy. No. You get your strength and your joy comes from the Lord himself. You know, the joy of the Lord is my strength. Like the fact that the Lord here is with me. That is my joy. He is my strength. He is whatever I need. Now let me tell you something. You can't fake being a Christian. You can try. But it doesn't meet your inner needs. Some of you here today need to trust Christ as your Savior. You've been putting it off. You've been pretending. This is the reason you don't read your Bible. Because you don't know the author. This is the reason you don't pray. You know you should, but you don't know the author. This is the reason you don't find time to come to church very much. Because you don't have God as a center of your life. Your work is a center. Or yourself is a center. Your pleasures. You need Christ. Maybe you've been trying to fool yourself. Not being very firm. But I'm very convinced in Scripture. I went through this. I've went through this hundreds of times. And I'm convinced that what Jesus said was true. He said when he came back, would he even find faith? As the world gets worse, he said when I come back, will I even find very many that are saved? We're going to move into some new times if prophecy takes place as it looks like. And whatever it is that you face that's tough, you'll find your satisfaction, you'll find your rest and your strength in Christ and you'll find it yourself. There's a lot of failure in self. I've tried it. You know what? Mary and Martha had a crisis one day. Their crisis was their brother died. So they said to Jesus, would you come quick? And would you come quick and heal them before they die? And you know what Jesus did? He delayed on purpose two days so that the latter would be good and dead. So, he did come and raised them from the dead. And when he got there, you know what? They didn't ask for what they really wanted. They said it's too late. He's already dead. He's been in the grave four days. You know what they needed was a resurrection. And he comes in and he says, I am a resurrection. Yeah, Lord. We know you're a resurrection. Great. We got it in our mind. You're a resurrection. No. He says, listen. I am the resurrection. I'm life. Yes, Lord. We know. You're a resurrection. You're life. On the last day, you're going to raise everybody up. Yeah. He says, no. I am the resurrection. I resurrect the dead. Walked over to the grave. Called out, Lazarus, come forth. And he had to use Lazarus' name because if he just said come forth, they would have cleared the countryside. There would have been dead people coming up alive. But he just wanted Lazarus. Lazarus, come forth. Lazarus, come out. And he said, let them loose. And Lazarus went on and died a normal life. He says, I am the resurrection. Do you know that he can do that in your life? He can resurrect you from your situation that's got you down. Some of you are already in the bog. You've got problems. Why are you down in the gloom? Why do you get depressed? Did you know that depression, the basic root of depression, is sin? I did some study on that this week in my psychology book. I get to stay now a little bit. The basic root of depression is sin. And that's logical. Anytime we get our mind and our eyes off of Christ, we get them back on ourselves or others or circumstances and it produces problems. It produces sin. That will keep him in perfect peace. His mind will stay on me. The secret is, for me too, and I've got to watch it because I'm prone to wander. I tend to backslide, just like you, is to keep our mind and eyes on the Lord no matter what, continually. There's where the rest of life is. So he says, Mary, Martha, what you need is the resurrection. I'm the resurrection. Whatever you need, Jesus is. If you let me do it, that's the thing. You know, if you need to be saved, guess what? He is the Savior. What you need is life. If you're not saved, you are a living dead person. You say, now you're getting off on the deep end. No. It's what Jesus said. There is a man that came to Jesus who was the ruler of the Jews. He came to Jesus by night, and he gave us by name. He said, Lord, how can a man get out of it? He said, listen, very carefully. He said, listen, if you want to get to heaven, you've got to be born again. And what he said, he said, you are dead spiritually. You need to be born spiritually. And what we have is churches and people all over this world that have been, they've heard a little bit about Christ. They know a little bit about church or whatever, but they haven't been spiritually born. And this is why you won't have a desire to pray. This is why you won't have a desire to come to church and fellowship. This is why you won't have a desire to read the Word of God. Don't fool yourself anymore. Jesus said, you must be born again. And when you're born again, it all comes from within. You don't have to try to pump yourself up to pray. You'll want to pray. I remember, I couldn't understand this Bible until Christ came into my life. And I spent many years reading it. I didn't get much out of it, I'll confess. But once the Spirit of God came in, it changed it. This to me, Jesus said, man shall not live by bread alone, we want to feed our mouth. Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. If you give me a choice, I'd rather take the Word of God than sinful food. And maybe if we spent less time at the table and more time in the Word, we'd have less problems. Well, if you have Jesus, you have all you need. That's the whole point. That's what he said to Moses. Listen, you've got to meet all you need. You've got all you need. You've got all the authority you need. And this is why we say, all God is, he is for me. All God is, he is for me. And Jesus said it to us also. Moses had a need, and God says, I'm your answer. Will you just turn over your life to God somehow, your problem, whatever? All the authority you need. As I used to travel from country to country to country, I'd come up and knock at the gate and say, can I come through your country? And I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't come up and they'd look at you or whatever. But you'd just lock your passport down on a military passport. And I'd go from Germany to Austria to Switzerland to wherever I wanted to go and I'd travel to Europe or down to Turkey or Israel. The only thing that got me from country to country was that little passport. You know how far I would have got without it? I wouldn't have got anywhere. You know how far you're going to get as far as getting into heaven without the passport of eternal life? You're not going to get in. The Bible says, I'm going to quote a verse to you. This is the record that God has given to us eternal life. Let's say this pen represents eternal life. That God has given to us eternal life and this life is in His Son. That's what eternal life is in Jesus Christ. The Bible says, He that has the Son will keep it in my heart. Has life. He that has not the Son does not have life. Do you realize that if you don't have Jesus Christ you don't have eternal life. And if you die you go to hell. It's so important. This is what Easter is about. It's a resurrection story. It's a life story. We didn't know Christ had been resurrected. I celebrate this every day. This is my big day to me. Easter to me or Passover every day. Like I told somebody this morning the dead rise. I get up, I'm dead. The Lord with you with you me today. That's the resurrection life. But if you get up in the morning and you just take off you're saying to God I am going to live my life the way I want to. And you'll go the way you want to and you won't go the way God wants you to go. God wants you to go to heaven not to go to hell. Let's stop the prayer. It won't be very long. But I want you to just look at your life right now and say am I saved? Am I really a Christian? How come I don't want to read my Bible? How come I don't want to pray? How come I don't want to go to church? How come I do all these other things that I want to do instead of doing what God wants me to do? Maybe it's just that what Jesus said is true. No man can serve two masters. There's no hate the one and love the other or love the one and hate the other. And you're trying to have two masters but you really just have one and that's yourself. Maybe the Lord got me sort of fired up today just to sort of wake you up. Time is running out friends. I'm doing all I can as fast as I can because I believe the Lord is coming back soon. Just as these poems, just as the scriptures that Jerry read before they sang. He's coming back soon. And you may put it off one day too long but the Bible says today is the day of salvation. Very clear. When do I get saved? God says today. Thank you sir for your time. So we're going to pray before we pray. If you'd like to pray let's do a prayer. All our heads are down eyes are closed nobody looking around. If you'd like to pray let's lift your hand up real quick so I can pray for you. I need you to pray. Anybody looking? Nobody looking. Let's lift it up real quick and just move it so I can see you pray for me. Okay. Let's pray. And you pray this prayer if you want to cry. Lord Jesus I know I'm lost and I ask you to come into my life. I've been building my own authority. I've been seeking my own source of strength. I've risen with you and I now by faith ask you to come into my life and save my soul. I've turned it all over for you. All that I have, all the mess, all the problems, all the heartache, I've given it all to you and accept you into my life. And I now by faith ask you to come into my life. The Lord knows my secret disciples. All of his are in the open. You need to follow the Lord and the Catholic at the same time. Make a confession. Father, thank you for the time you have given me. This beautiful Passover morning, resurrection day, we celebrate the resurrection of Christ and for those of us who know Christ, we celebrate it every day. Thank you for your word. Thank you for dying on the cross to rise again. I pray for these folks, Lord, that you bless them and they would tend to find the joy there is in Jesus. Lord, thank you so much for saving me and taking me out of that life I was in. What a miserable existence it was. And I just pray that no one here would go away from Christ, turn away from Christ. Just like Egypt and all that bondage, you came and set them free. You did that for me and you can do that for them. Thank you for this day. We love you. In Jesus' name.
