``That's what happened with us. All have sinned and come short of the glory of god. The wages of sin is death, but the gift of god is eternal life through Jesus Christ our lord. And he, the judge of heaven, who cannot allow sin, paid the sin debt completely for us. Completely. We can never pay it. And yet he paid that debt for us with his own blood.

Here's a here's a illustration. There's a fellow who's done great crimes. He's murdered people. He's just done everything you can think of. He's a a bad guy, and he's standing in the courtroom about to receive his sentence. And the judge, sitting at his desk, pronounces the sentence. You're guilty, and your sentence is death. And then the judge stands and takes his robe off and walks off away from the platform and away from his desk and stands down where the guard is. And he says, I'll pay your debt for you. And he dies in that man's place. That's what it's all about, folks. [00:35:36] (56 seconds)  #JudgeTookMyPlace Download clip

He loves us in spite of everything. He loves us when we're doing what we should do. He loves us when we're not when we're not. He cares about us. He doesn't forget us. He doesn't forsake us. He continues to love us and to plead with us and to woo us back to himself. He loves us, and he gave himself for us. [00:37:29] (25 seconds)  #LovedDespiteAll Download clip

The first one is, he deserves to be our lord because of who he is. The second is Jesus deserves to be lord of our life because of what he's done.

If you've read the book of Job or you read the book of Job, you know there is a time when Satan comes in the midst of god and he accuses. He's the accuser of the brethren. And he accuses Job before the father. Satan does that with us as well. And when that happens, Jesus, in essence, says, father, but look at these. Five bleeding wounds he bears. Received at Calvary. Our great high priest interceding for us at the father's right hand. [00:50:35] (51 seconds)  #JesusOurIntercessor Download clip

And I got down on my knees, and I trusted him and accepted the call he was calling in my life. And I can't explain. Nobody could explain that joy and peace and love that floods your soul at a time of conversion is a fantastic thing. And I've seen from that time till now what the lord is able to do, what he has done, and what he's doing in my life. And he's able to make us victorious if we allow him to.

We're not dead yet. Amen? Amen. Sometimes we feel like we might be any second. But not yet. Some of us have years ahead of us. Some of us have moments. But we can rest in the assurance that we have one who will do for us what we need him to because he can and wants to do that. [00:54:22] (31 seconds)  #HeWillProvide Download clip

And help us, Lord, if somehow or other we've been kind of forgetting about the fact that you're supposed to be our boss. Help us to right now say, Lord Jesus, you are my savior. I do trust you. Thank you forgive for forgiving my sins. Help me, Lord, to have the sense enough to allow you to be lord in my life. [00:56:52] (30 seconds)  #MakeJesusLord Download clip
