CALL TO WORSHIP

Compared with Christ, in all beside

No beauty can I see

The one thing needful, dearest Lord

Is to be one with Thee.

The sense of Thy redeeming love

Into my soul convey

Thyself bestow, for Thee alone

My All-in-All, I pray.

Less than Thyself will not suffice

My comfort to restore

More than Thyself I cannot crave

And Thou cans’t give no more.

Loved of my God, for Him again

With love intense I’d burn

Chosen of Thee ere time began

I’d choose Thee in return.

(Tune: “According to Thy Gracious Word” p. 192)

SURETY OF A BETTER TESTAMENT

“By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.” (Heb. 7:22)

The Father made His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to be the surety of the covenant of grace. The covenant of grace is better than the covenant of the law in every way. The law can only reveal our guilt. The covenant of grace makes sinners to be not guilty by the sacrifice of Christ. The law can only demand our death. The covenant of grace demands life for God’s elect because Christ already died for them. The law can never forgive sin, but the covenant of grace demands forgiveness of all the sin that was laid on Christ. Thank God that Christ did for His people everything that the law cannot do.

Pastor

And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.” Numbers 21:8

The wounded person had simply to look and live; to look not at himself, not at his wounds, not at others around him, but directly and exclusively to God's remedy. He was called to fix his earnest gaze upon God's remedy, which was so placed that all might see it. If he refused to look at that, there was nothing for him but death. There was no possible need to look anywhere else, for the word was that everyone gets better when they look upon it, and they shall live. He was to look up to the brazen serpent, for the brazen serpent was God's exclusive remedy. To look anywhere else was to get nothing; to look at God's provision was to get life. No one could be saved by proxy; no one could look for another. There was life in a look, but the look had to be given. This was God's order then, and this is His order now. Look! Look to Christ and live!

Pastor Scott Richardson

AND JESUS STOOD STILL” – Mark 10:49

What a proof that Christ delights to show mercy. What a demonstration that He is mighty to save. Jesus Christ was on His way to Jerusalem to obtain eternal redemption for His people, to, by Himself, purge their sins, to satisfy the justice of God. And on His way to accomplish that great and glorious work, He hears one blind beggar’s cry for mercy, and the Son of God stopped dead in His tracks! Jesus Christ always hears those who sincerely ask Him to ‘Have mercy on me.’ He came into this world to save sinners. And He is the same mighty Savior at this moment as He was when Bartimaeus cried out to Him for mercy. Thank you Blessed Savior that you heard the cry of this blind beggar and had mercy on me! Hallelujah, What a Savior!

Pastor Larry Criss

There is no argument among religious people over the fact that God shall make a distinction among men. The only argument concerns the basis for that distinction. Shall it be by what men have done (works) or

by what God has done (grace)!
