Ray, hello everyone. Good to have you all. Got some good voices over there too. Heard you singing. It's gonna be a, I might get into a little bit of preaching, but it's gonna be teaching and we're gonna, the Lord put this on my heart pretty strong about, the doctrine of salvation. I know everyone here, when I know here they claim to be saved but we've got some that's on the internet there. How many countries do we go to? About? A hundred and some? We've hit more than 100 countries so we've got people from Russia that hear it and China and everywhere else. So let's go to John chapter 14 to start with. And I want to come at it like this. There was a guy named Jesus. And he claimed to be the only way to salvation. Now there's people that they don't believe that. I do a lot of studying on things like, I study professors of astrophysics and mathematics, things like that. And I like to hear what they think about the universe, how it became, you know, how it began and all this. And I try to correlate it with the Bible. They won't use the Bible as a textbook. There are some, but very few. And so what I'm going to try to do tonight is first I'm going to show that Jesus is the only way to salvation. That was his claim. That's the claim of the scriptures. And then I'm going to go through the three major things that the Word of God has to go through as we as Christians are teachers or pastors or when we're witnessing to someone there's a main principle that we have to use. We were created in the image of God. Now what does that mean? Does he look like me or does he look like Paul or D? That's not what it's talking about. It's talking about he's a triune God. We are a triune being. We have a spirit, soul and body. We have God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Ghost. He created us in that same way. So before we begin we're going to pray and then we'll get into this. There's going to be a lot of verses that I want you to listen to or you can look it up if you're fast enough. Okay. Lord, we thank you for this day. We thank you, Lord, for the people here that have showed up. We thank you, Lord, for our guests. We thank you, Lord, for whoever's watching on the internet. We just pray that you would touch someone's heart and maybe someone would get saved because that's the That's the subject of the lesson I'm preaching tonight. We ask that you would bless it and use it for your honor and your glory. In Jesus' name, amen. John 14, 6. He said, Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man cometh unto the Father but by me. Right away we see that this man Jesus is making a claim that eliminates all other religions, all other modes or ways that people think that they can get to heaven. So they call us narrow-minded, but if we're Bible believers, we have to be Bible-minded. We have to say there's no way through Buddha, Confucius, Allah. There's no way to heaven with any of those things. He says, I am the way. Our next verse we're going to go to is 1 Timothy 2.5. Sorry about my voice. I don't know what's going on. 1 Timothy 2.5. For there is one God and one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus. That goes against the teaching of Mary being the mediatrix. I was going to mention something about that. about the Catholic Church teaching of Mary being the mediator or mediatrix between us and Jesus and the way that she gets Jesus to listen to our prayers. And so it's Jesus Christ that is the God, the mediator, The man Christ Jesus. Let's go to John 3.16. Now most of you all know this by heart. It says, For God sent not His Son into the world. I'm sorry, that's 17. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life. Most people read that verse for God so loved the world. And what they try to say is that God loves everybody and that he's gonna let you get by with stuff because he so loves us. that He wouldn't do anything to harm us. There's people that teach that. That phrase, so loved, that Greek word, so, is houtos, which means in this manner. So God, in this manner, so loved, in this manner He loved the world. Here's the manner He lived, that He gave His only begotten Son. That's something that you and I would not do. You know, as you all know, we lost our daughter, our oldest daughter, 12 years ago. And she happened to be 33 years old, which is how old Jesus Christ was when he was crucified. And to us, she was really young. And I look at that and I say, here's Jesus, the Son of God, who was 33 years old and gave his life for us on the cross. That's young. The point being is that God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son. That's how much He loved the world. That doesn't mean that He allows sin, and then you're going to get up to the pearly gates and say, oh, well, your good works that way, your bad, that's not the way salvation works. And we'll be getting into that. For God, in verse 17, it says, for God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world. And we as Christians shouldn't go around and have an attitude of condemnation like a lot of Christians do because that's the wrong spirit for us to have. He didn't send his son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved. We're to point others to Jesus Christ because he is the only way. In John chapter 10, let's run over there real quick. And in verse 9, he says, I am the door. By me, if any man enter in, he shall be saved and shall go in and out and find pasture. So we're seeing here the claims that Jesus Christ made. And over in Romans chapter 10, verse 9 he says, that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Now, it's the Lord Jesus. That's the Savior. It's not anyone else. It's not anything else. Back to John chapter 3, and I purposely didn't put all the John references all at one time, because I have a thought that we're going through here, so if you get tired of turning back and forth and all that, sorry. John chapter 3, verse 36. He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life. And he that believeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him. So if you do not believe on the Son of God, Jesus Christ, the wrath of God abides on you. If you died without Jesus Christ being your Savior, you're going to be in His wrath. Romans chapter 6. Verse 23, For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. You notice these verses are pointing us to Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ claimed to be the way, the truth, and the life. The Bible says He's the true one. We noticed that in in John chapter 3 verse 16 while we were over there it says the only begotten son you know the new Bible's changed that to his one and only son and things like that they want to get rid of that word begotten and actually it's doctrinally wrong for them to say for them to take that word out that his one and only son Because over in 1 John 3, 2 it says, Beloved, now are we the sons of God. So once we're saved, we're sons of God also. So it couldn't be his one and only son. It's his only begotten son. In 1 John 5, verse 20, we'll be getting into some more. I'm just trying to lay groundwork here. of how that Jesus Christ is the only way. He is the Savior. There is no other. Even though we have all these other religions, we have countless ways. I mean, Oprah says that we can go any way we want. We're all going to wind up in the same place. She has a lot of sway with people. There's going to be a lot of people that believe that and they're going to die with the wrath of God on them because they've not believed in Jesus Christ. So we have to have a good foundation here and realize what the Bible says. Most of us do know that. But as you're witnessing to people, I've got a guy I talk to. He's 85 years old. He's in good health. I've got to sit down and talk with him several hours, two or three times, and he just does not believe that he has to be saved, because he's a good man, and he is a good man, and he treats people right, and he's always done the right thing, but he just doesn't see himself as a sinner. He says, I don't need a savior. But so I bring him, I talk to him about verses like this and it's funny because you know the Bible says it's not my word like a hammer that breaketh a rock in pieces. And you know you just don't break a rock with a hammer just hitting it one time. Yesterday I was using a jackhammer over Jonathan's property because he was digging a trench for his power line, water line. And I'm going to tell you what, those rocks don't come out with just one hit. I was hammering on one of those. I got through a couple of them. I was hammering on one yesterday for probably about an hour straight, just chipping it off, just chipping it off. And I've got a pretty good-sized jackhammer out there, and it's just sitting there, you know, like, acting like I'm not doing anything. But the Word of God, as we become acquaintances with people, I mean, this guy likes me, I like him, he works for Alan at the car wash so whenever I go up there sometimes we'll sit down and we'll talk and just a little bit here and a little bit there and a little bit here and a little bit there and verses like this right here you can bring to them. There's no way that you can bulldoze someone into being saved. Years ago, back in the 70s, late 60s and 70s, people just thought that you could go one, two, three, repeat after me, and you'd get saved. There's a lot of people that are trusting in that formula because I've had friends that said, if I can just get this person to say this, if I can just get this person to say this, and if I can just get this person to say this, poof, they'll be saved. I said, that's magic. You can't do magic. It doesn't work. So we have to have a foundation for people to see that first of all, there was a man named Jesus. He claimed to be God. He claimed to be the only way. Now what are you going to do with that? You're going to believe it or not, but we have to be able to communicate that to them. That's our purpose. on this earth. For say people, what's our purpose? It's when a husband and wife gets married, what's your purpose? Have kids. Raise children. What's a Christian's purpose? Have souls to be born again. Proselyte. Teach. Okay? So in 1 John chapter 5, in verse 20, And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know Him that is true, and we are in Him that is true, even in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. Now most of these astrophysicists that I or read after and listen to, they'll say, we're here, enjoy ourselves while we're here, and then we're gone. There's nothing. Everything's the big bang. Background cosmic microwave radiation. That tells us that the universe has been here 13.8 billion years. And they want to try to explain through studying science, everything that's natural, when you're studying the stars and the universe, that's supposed to take you to God, to see the wonders of His universe. It's supposed to make you think of the Lord, according to Psalms. John chapter 3 again, let's go back, one of my favorite chapters, and let's see what a very well-educated man said. There was, in verse 1, it says, there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. Now Pharisees were not, they were not ignorant people. They were very well-educated. Paul was a Pharisee of the Pharisees. He was educated at one of the greatest professors in that time, Gamaliel. Here's a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. Now listen to what he says. The same came to Jesus by night and said unto him. Now God put that there on purpose. It came by night because he didn't want anybody else to see what he was doing. Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God for no man No man can do these miracles that thou doest except God be with him. Did you notice what he said? We know. They've been talking about it. They've been discussing it. Jesus answered and said unto him, he went straight to the point. Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. You've got to have two births. Your first birth was a water birth. That's what it's talking about. My wife had five children. I was in there every time. It's a water birth. Okay? Any of you women that have had children, you know that's what he's talking about. He'll tell you that on down here. It says, verse 6, that which is born of the flesh is flesh. That goes with the water birth. That which is born of the flesh is flesh. And that which is born of the Spirit, capital S, is Spirit, small s. That means our Spirit's born again. Do you remember back in the You remember reading about, I don't think any of you are old enough to be back in the Garden of Eden, but you remember that God said that if you eat of the fruit of that tree that you'll surely die. And then Eve ate of it. And then Adam decided that he would rather eat of that and give of his life for his bride. And they died that day. But yet Adam lived another 900 or so years. He lived to be 900 and some years old. Well, what did that mean when God said, in the day that thou eatest thereof, thou shalt surely die? Their spirit died. Their fellowship with God was broken. No more morning and evening. No more talking with the Lord in the cool of the garden, in the cool of the evening. Their spirit died. So here it tells us that your spirit has to be born again. And that reestablishes that fellowship with God. It says, that which is born of the flesh is flesh, that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee ye must be born again. So here we see that even the Pharisees knew that Jesus Christ was who He said He was because of the miracles that He did. And that's why Jesus Christ did miracles. The Bible says that the Jews require a sign. Remember Moses? Remember the signs that God gave him? Hand in his shirt, leprosy. Hand back in there, clean. Threw the rod down, became a serpent. Picked the serpent up, rod. So, the Jews require a sign, but the Greeks, that's us, seek after wisdom. The Greeks seek after wisdom. So we see here that, except a man be born again, I'm going through my introduction right now, which is quite lengthy. I know you guys are. But we're about two-thirds of the way through of Jesus Christ claiming to be the only way of salvation. Jesus Christ being the Son of God and being God. And that He is the one. No other religion, no other man can help us or aid us in any kind of spiritual, eternal life. Okay, Ephesians chapter 2, verse 8, it says, For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast. I guarantee you, if someone could go to heaven on any kind of their own merits, that they would boast about it. 1 John chapter 5 verse 11 says, and this is the record, that word means this is the record, this is the witness, this is the testimony that God hath given unto us eternal life and that this life is in His Son. Isaiah chapter 9 Verse 6, For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. That's Jesus Christ. First Corinthians chapter 8. Verse 6, but to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in Him, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by Him. Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge. For some, with conscience of the idol unto this hour, eat it as a thing offered unto an idol, and their conscience being weak, is defiled. This is talking about different levels of Christian growth. But we are by Jesus Christ. That's how we are born again. Back to John chapter, let's go to John chapter 11. Verse 25. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life. He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? So we have, we've got one more in this. Go to Acts, we've got one more verse here. It says, I am the resurrection. Acts chapter 16. Verse 30. Well, a little bit of a background before we read that. Paul and Silas have been thrown in jail. They've been singing hymns and preaching and singing praises unto God and they're praying. And the prisoners heard them. And so did the keeper of the prison, the jailer. He knew, he had heard all this stuff. The jailer brought them out and said, sirs, what must I do to be saved? Very plainly he told them, and they said, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved in thy house. Now, you can't just go up to someone and say that if they haven't had some sort of a background of the doctrine or like they were praying and singing praises and everything. So that jailer, he was paying attention because if he'd have lost any one of those prisoners, it would have been his life for them. And that's why he was about to kill himself because all the doors were open and he thought he'd lost the prisoners. He was fixing to fall on his sword. The whole point of this first part is, number one, Jesus claimed to be the Son of God. He claimed to be the only way of salvation. And there's some people that don't believe that. But you have to give that groundwork. Just like, I'm going to call him my friend, because my acquaintance, my friend Jim, Here he is, 85 years old, and he thinks he's gonna, exactly what he told me was, I've been a good fellow all my life, I haven't done anybody wrong, and if that's not good enough, then so be it. And there's a lot of people like that. There's a lot of people like that that you and I meet. And we need to know how to discuss The only way to heaven with them, and like I say, it's not to bulldoze them, not to say, well, you know, you're stupid or whatever, because this gentleman's very intelligent. You hear a little, there a little. Line upon line, precept upon precept, but we need to be able to give them the claims of Jesus Christ, the claims of the Word of God. And here's the three things that you have to overcome. You have to overcome that person's questions. It's called the intellect. It's okay for them to have questions. Don't feel challenged or troubled because they want to ask you questions. You need to know how to answer them. So, intellectually and historically, here's the way I'm going to go through it here. I'm going to talk to you like you don't believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Okay? I'm going to talk to you like that. Okay, I'm going to tell you that there was a historian named Flavius Josephus, and he wrote several volumes, which I have a copy of, as a matter of fact. It's called Antiquities of the Jews. He was definitely not friendly to the Christian persuasion. And he speaks of Jesus, John the Baptist, and James in those antiquities. What does that mean? That means we have an outside witness or record that there was a Jesus and there was a John the Baptist and there was a James from a noted historian that people respect his writings. There was a Roman historian named Tacitus. He records the death of Jesus by crucifixion. Now, crucifixion was only done by Romans. and it was only done for a certain period of time. Now, nowadays they do it, you go down to Mexico and they do it, but at that time it was a rare occurrence. There was another Roman governor in Asia Minor named Pliny the Younger. He notes that Christians worship Jesus as a God. He just wrote about his observations of how the Christians worship Jesus as a God. There was a man named J. Klossner. He wrote in Jewish rabbinical literature that he wrote of Jesus of Nazareth. So what we've got is we've got proof extra-biblical proof that there was a man named Jesus, that there were Christians that worshipped him as God. There was a satirist, Lucian, and a philosopher, Celsus, who argued against Christianity, but they accepted that Jesus lived. Even though they didn't agree with Christianity, they accepted that he lived. Modern day, there's an astrophysicist. His name is Hugh Ross. And he's actually a Christian. He claims to be a Christian. And when we're talking about astrophysicists, we're not talking about stupid people. We're talking about very smart people, very intelligent. There's a German astrophysicist. He's Christian, Heino Falk. who led the team that took the first image of a black hole. He stated, there is a beginning and an end to the world. Okay? Here's something that I've noticed that several astrophysicists that are not saved state. They say that, here's basically what they say, they say, go out into the go out into the world, look up at the stars, and realize that you and the stars are one. You're made of the same elements. Okay? And we are. It's a fact. The heavenly bodies and humans are made of the same elements, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, and sulfur. 97% of the same atoms. Well, you know what that does for me when I hear that? I go to Genesis chapter 2 verse 7. And God made Adam out of the dust of the ground. You look up what dirt's made of, it'll give you that very same list. So they're actually fortifying my belief in God creating the universe by them studying science and saying that we're made out of the same stuff that the stars are made of. So intellectually, you have to be able to answer their questions. You need to study. Now, the next thing that you have, there's three things. I think I stated that there was three things you have to basically overcome when you're talking to someone about Jesus Christ and about God and about salvation. The one is the intellectual. You have to be able to answer their intellectual questions. The next is the emotions. Well, what about emotions? What about the emotional part of us? I mentioned a while ago our oldest daughter passing away suddenly. God comforted us during that time. My mother was 21. And myself and my two brothers were in a house fire. They passed away and I lived. And she was on her own. Do you see what I'm saying? How do you make it through? I know lost people do make it through that kind of stuff, but most people that go through that are emotionally damaged. God can comfort us in those things, in those times. And so in John chapter 16, let's go to John chapter 16, and let's see how that God can, if you'll allow Him to, if that person will allow. John 1633, I used to be a plant manager and I had a guy, well I was the manager of a machine shop at this time and we were in like a neighborhood and there was a gentleman across the street Mr. King was his name and he was an elderly man and he used to work on steam locomotives. He was a really interesting guy to talk to. So on my breaks I would go over there and talk to him. I'd sit down in the lawn chair next to him and we'd just talk. He enjoyed having somebody to talk to and I thought it was really neat and I'd have him tell me about steam locomotives and how they worked and what all he did and everything. And I would talk to him about the Lord. He wouldn't have anything to do with it. He would allow me to tell him, but then he got really bad sick and got in the hospital and he was on his deathbed. I went up to visit him and I was standing there and I said, Mr. King, can I talk to you about the Lord? And it just looked like these little shades went across his eyes. And I'm not the only, there was another guy with me, a friend of mine was with me, and he saw the same thing. And then once I got off the subject of, you know, religion, then he would just, it was like his eyes cleared up and it was weird. I'd never seen that before, but it happened two or three times. Every time I tried to breach the subject of salvation, it was just like, it was just like he wasn't there. And as far as I know, I mean, I gave him the gospel and everything, but as far as I know, he died and went to hell. And emotionally, I don't know if he had gone through something. I had another gentleman that worked for me in a plant that I was at, and he was a preacher. His daughter passed away, and he turned against God, and every other word out of his mouth was asking God to damn something. Cuss this, cuss that. I mean, it was terrible. And he just turned the opposite way. What's the deal? Intellectually, we have to be able to address people's problems, questions, and then emotionally. Okay, here in John chapter 16, verse 33, these things have I spoken unto you, that in me you might have peace. There's a peace that God gives us. It's a peace that passeth all understanding, the Bible says. There's a peace. So emotionally we can have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation. But be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. In Psalm 118, happens to be, One of these happens to be my favorite verse. And it's supposed to be the middle verse of the King James Bible. Psalm 118, verse 8, it says, It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. And I supposedly, I'm not candidate myself, but I'm told that the middle two words of the King James Bible is the Lord. because that's the two words that's the middle of that verse. In verse 9 it says, it is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes. So we have a trust. We can trust God with our lives spiritually. In Psalm 40, verse 8, It says, I delight to do Thy will, O my God, yea, Thy law is within my heart. When we get saved, God puts His law in our hearts. We want to be pleasing to Him. We want to do His will. I delight to do Thy will, O my God, it says. So it gives us a purpose. Emotionally gives us a purpose. Ecclesiastes chapter 12. Pretty familiar verse here for everybody. Verse 13, let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter. Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment with every secret thing, whether it be good or whether it be evil. It gives us a purpose in life. Philippians chapter 1. Verse 20. According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, that with all boldness as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life or by death. For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. But if I live in the flesh, that is the fruit of my labor, yet what I shall choose I want not. For I am in straight betwixt two, having a desire to depart and to be with Christ, which is far better. Nevertheless, to abide in the flesh is more needful for you." We have a purpose. We have a purpose to witness to people. We have a purpose to support our brothers and sisters in Christ. And then over in chapter 3, verse 12, Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect, but I follow after. if that I may apprehend that for which I am also apprehended of Christ Jesus. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended, but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." Gives us a purpose. 2 Corinthians chapter 1. If you've ever wondered why the Lord puts you through things, this is a good chapter right here. 2 Corinthians 1, verse 3, Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort, who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. So God puts us through things, He comforts us, and then we are able to comfort others that go through those same things. Psalm 121. Verse 3, Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort, who comforteth us. That took me right back to Corinthians, didn't it? Psalm 121. Verse three, he will not suffer thy foot to be moved. He that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is thy keeper, the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil. He shall preserve thy soul. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth and even forevermore. And then one last verse under our emotional section, Ephesians chapter 1, verse 13. in whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise, which is the earnest of our inheritance, until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory." So we have to be able to address their intellectual questions, we have to We have to do the emotional thing. We have to teach them how Christ comforts us, anchors us, gives us a purpose. And then, you know what? It's up to them. And it's called the will. It's called the will. It's not something we can force people to do. They have to realize that their intellectual questions have been answered. their emotional needs will be met by Jesus Christ. And then, let's go to Acts, chapter 18, verse 5, it says, And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the Spirit and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ. And when they opposed themselves and blasphemed, he shook his raiment and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads. I am clean, for henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles." When someone rejects what you're saying, then realize that they're opposing themselves. He just shook his raiment and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads. Now, I'll guarantee you if he had another chance to talk to those people, he would have talked to them. You go back and you talk to those people, you know, unless they run you off with a shotgun or something. Don't come back. It's not on you. You've done what you could do. You've witnessed to them. You've explained to them. what the Bible says about salvation and about the gift of the Holy Spirit and the emotional stability that they can have. And they say, I don't want anything to do with it. They're opposing themselves. You feel like they're opposing you, but they're not. They're opposing themselves. In Matthew 23, 37, we see what Jesus did. He said, O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sin unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not. Do you notice God has made it where that we can actually override his will. He says right there, he said, I would have, but ye wouldn't. I would have done this, ye would not. They opposed themselves, just like those people over an axe. So, in Matthew 27, while we're here in Matthew, Matthew 27, verse 22, Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus, which is called Christ? They all say unto Him, let Him be crucified. That's the question that you need to bring to the people that you're witnessing to, or that you're preaching to, or that you're teaching to. So, what will you do with Jesus Christ? Whoever's on the internet there, what will you do with Jesus Christ? What will you do with Him? It's your choice. That's the beauty that God's not going to force us to love Him. You have a choice. Nicodemus had a choice. Nicodemus wound up being saved. Those other Pharisees, they were afraid that Jesus was going to take away their place in their nation and they said, no. We have no king but Caesar. Crucify Him. Crucify Him. And you know, we all have to make that choice. I had to make that choice. You have to make that choice. And if you have, then that's great. If you haven't, you need to think on these things. 2 Corinthians chapter 6, for our last verse. Verse 2, he says, For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succored thee. Behold, now is the accepted time. Behold, now is the day of salvation. Today is the day. All right, I'd like for everybody to stand and we'll be dismissed. I want you to think about these things and think about if God's talking to you about your soul, then I ask that you would just pray and ask him to save you.
