But how does this compare to what Paul is saying? We can come up with examples how people lay down their lives for people they love. But who would die for their enemy? Who would die for a wicked person? Who would lay down their life for a murderer, a liar, an idolater? Who would die for the perverted person? Jesus died for us. He died for the ungodly, and there's nothing that compares to what Jesus did for us. Amen? Amen. [00:40:12] (39 seconds)  #JesusDiedForEnemies Download clip

And for you personally, can you remember the day Jesus came to you and saved you? Was that right on time or what? Amen? One day we're going to get to heaven and we're gonna tell everybody our stories. All the people that we meet, how he found us and saved us. And we're gonna also hear that same story from Noah and from Abraham and David and Paul. And when we talk about these things, we will say, oh, surely, just for me, he came right in time.

What is the much more? Well, what he's saying is if the blood of Jesus is powerful enough to cleanse our sin down through our past, it finds its way in every corner of our life. In every past word we have spoken and thing we've done and thought we have had that is not right, that blood has found it and has cleansed it and has made us whole. God says, I will remember your sin no more. He's washed it. [00:54:31] (28 seconds)  #BloodWipesPastSin Download clip

We, the guilty ones, need to be reconciled God. And what a wonderful thing it is that our savior is both God and man. Because he's God, he can take the father by one hand. And because he's a man, he can take us with the other hand and unite us together in peace and reconciliation. It is through Jesus we receive that peace with God.

Those red seas of fear, of anxiety, of doubt, of so many challenges. I don't know how I got through it. All I know is my God divides the Red Seas. And my prayer was always, God, if you did that for the Israelites in time of trouble, you can divide my Red Seas. Church, no matter what comes our way, your family, your marriage, your children, no matter what comes, God still divides every Red Sea. Amen? Amen. Much more.

Jesus says your father in heaven, he clothes them. And the clothing that the flowers wear are more beautiful to behold than all the robes of king Solomon. And Jesus' point is, if the father cares that much about flowers, how much more does he care for you? So Jesus gives us a much more. He says if God cares that much about the flowers, will he not much more clothe you? Oh you of little faith. [00:59:30] (35 seconds)  #GodClothesYou Download clip

Search out my children and bring them to me. And maybe those angels will search every street, every corner, every house, every heart. And the only difference between going up and remaining is the blood of the lamb of God. The blood that is applied. That makes all the difference. Amen.

The only difference between one home and the other, between death and life, between cries and screams, the only difference was the blood of the lamb applied. And the same is for us, that the blood of Christ, it covers us. It washes us. It makes us whole. And I believe one day, I I don't know how Jesus is going to do this. He might just say, come up here and we're gone. Simple enough. He can do that. Or maybe he'll send his angels out all throughout the world.
