0:28 his great Love Worth Finding would you
0:30 take God's holy word
0:32 and find with me The Gospel according to
0:43 will and we'll find verse 66 in just a
0:45 moment some time
0:48 ago I had one of the most challenging
0:49 experiences of my
0:53 life I was in
0:56 Moscow uh the capital of the former
0:59 Soviet Union and I had the opportunity
1:00 to preach
1:02 and I preached in a marvelously beautiful
1:03 beautiful
1:07 Hall it was called the Red Army theater
1:10 it was a theater for the Performing
1:13 Arts was a place where they held operas
1:17 and cultural events a magnificent
1:19 structure with a big
1:22 stage first of all I had to thank God
1:24 for the privilege to be there and
1:28 frankly spiritually I was trusting the
1:30 Lord but in the flesh I was intim idated
1:31 to be
1:35 there because there in that red Army
1:39 theater there were those massive portraits
1:40 portraits of
1:43 of linen
1:45 linen
1:48 Stalin there's the Velvet box up there
1:53 where they would sit to listen to the
1:55 performances in that
1:57 Auditorium were
2:02 soldiers army officers and their
2:05 wives the soldiers were all dressed in
2:06 their military
2:08 uniforms and they were sitting out there
2:11 rank upon rank upon
2:14 Rank and God had given me the privilege
2:15 to preach to
2:18 them first of all I said Lord how did
2:20 this happen how did I get
2:22 here and I won't take time to tell you
2:25 about the circumstances that place me
2:28 there but I realized it was a great challenge
2:30 challenge
2:33 because these
2:36 soldiers these army officers had been
2:39 taught from their youth there is no
2:42 God they were raised in an atheistic
2:45 Society not only that they were raised
2:46 to hate
2:48 Americans and I wondered how much of
2:50 that still might remain in that
2:52 Auditorium and this place was built to glorify
2:54 glorify
2:57 communism and totalitarianism to the
3:01 degree that they named it the red Army
3:04 Army
3:06 Theater now what would you preach if you
3:07 had an opportunity to preach to a group
3:10 like that I mean what what would be the subject
3:12 subject
3:15 matter what would you
3:19 say I knew it was a once- in a-lifetime
3:21 Opportunity never again would I have an
3:23 opportunity like
3:26 that I knew it would be the first time
3:27 and perhaps the only time some of them
3:31 would ever hear a message from
3:38 lord what would you have
3:42 me to say to these
3:44 people God the holy spirit said Adrien
3:46 tell them about
3:48 Jesus tell
3:53 them why you believe in Jesus
3:55 Christ and that's what I talked to them
4:00 about and here's the text that I took
4:03 John 6:
4:06 66 from that time many of his disciples went
4:06 went
4:09 back and walked no more with
4:14 him then said Jesus unto the
4:16 twel will ye also go
4:21 away then Simon Peter answered him Lord
4:25 to whom shall we go thou Hast the words
4:30 of eternal life and we believe
4:32 and are
4:35 sure that thou art the
4:37 Christ the
4:42 son of the Living God Peter said we
4:46 believe and we are
4:48 sure that thou art the
4:52 Christ the son of the Living
4:54 God that I said to those men and their wives
4:55 wives
4:58 assembled I want to tell you why I
5:00 believe in Jesus Christ
5:02 and I want to tell you along with Simon
5:04 Peter why I am
5:07 sure that he is the
5:10 Christ the son of the Living God and I
5:12 gave them four reasons that are found in this
5:13 this
5:16 chapter and they're the same reasons I
5:17 want to give to you many of you who are
5:19 already sure that Jesus is the Christ
5:22 the son of the Living God but to
5:23 reinforce your
5:25 faith and to help you to share with
5:27 others because we live in a shrinking
5:28 world and many have never heard the
5:31 gospel that we've heard and many do not
5:33 take for granted the things today that
5:38 we take for granted Jesus had just fed the
5:39 the
5:41 5,000 and there were
5:43 Miracles that he performed that caused
5:46 people to follow after him especially
5:49 when he fed 5,000 with a few Fish and
5:52 Loaves but then as the multitudes were following
5:53 following
5:56 Jesus Jesus turned to them and began
6:00 with a challenging message to talk about
6:02 eating his flesh and drinking his blood
6:05 that is to partake of him the message
6:06 was so
6:10 Stark the message was so different it
6:12 was so
6:15 radical that people began to leave they
6:17 were Miracle mongers they they like the
6:20 Loaves and the fish but they did not
6:22 like the deeper message that was behind
6:25 that miracle and they began to leave
6:28 him and then Jesus turned to his
6:29 disciples and he said are you you're
6:31 going to go away
6:35 also and Peter asked a very penetrating
6:37 question and it's the question I'm going
6:40 to ask you if not Jesus then
6:43 what if not Jesus then
6:46 who Simon Peter said
6:49 Lord to whom shall we
6:52 go I mean if if not
6:55 Jesus Friend if Jesus isn't the
7:03 where are you going to
7:10 atheism are you going to be believe that
7:11 in the
7:13 beginning the heavens and the earth created
7:16 created
7:19 themselves and then created
7:21 man I said to these former atheists
7:24 atheism does not make
7:27 sense it's not a sign of intelligence I
7:30 reminded them of what I remind you too
7:33 that the intelligencia of the ages have
7:38 believed in God Socrates bacon Galo
7:43 Newton pasture Einstein wner Von braa
7:49 God can you turn to
7:52 atheism then I asked them a
7:54 question are you going to turn to
8:02 philosophy A system that tells us what
8:06 we already know and words we can't
8:08 understand a former pastor of this
8:11 church Dr RG Lee said philosophy is a a
8:13 chunk of cloud Bank buttered with the night
8:15 night
8:17 wind study the great philosophers and
8:20 see if philosophy satisfied their heart
8:23 scopow one of the greatest said life is a
8:24 a
8:28 curse of endless craving and endless unhappiness
8:30 unhappiness
8:33 alist Huxley said concerning us he said
8:36 it seems like we're a cancer on the
8:39 globe HG
8:42 Wells tried
8:45 philosophy and HG Wells said this unless
8:48 there is a more abundant scheme before
8:52 mankind this scheme of space and time is
9:04 braying across the Mysteries I ask those
9:06 men are you going to turn to
9:08 philosophy then I ask this question are
9:10 you going to turn to
9:13 materialism is that the answer if not
9:15 atheism and philosophy is it is it
9:17 materialism is that where you're going
9:19 to go do you think that things can satisfy
9:21 satisfy
9:25 you I went into the mayor's office in
9:28 Moscow I went up those that red carpet
9:30 walked across those marble floors went
9:33 into that big conference room sat down
9:35 there with the leadership of the heart
9:37 of Moscow looked across the table from
9:39 those men and I said sir I want to tell you
9:40 you
9:44 something the Soviet Empire has
9:48 dissolved as such communism has come
9:51 crumbling down but I said if you follow
9:56 the West with economic ideas and that's
9:59 all and you say capitalism is the answer
10:00 rather than
10:03 communism I said both capitalism and
10:06 communism are both two forms of
10:09 materialism and they will never satisfy
10:11 the deepest longing of your
10:15 hearts God Made You for God he made you
10:17 for himself and even if you have
10:20 material things you will still find your
10:23 hearts and lives empty they nodded the
10:25 head and by the way we gave them some
10:29 good books some Bibles some books by CS
10:31 Lewis some books on the home by James
10:32 Dobson and some other things to help
10:35 these men to begin to build their lives
10:37 on the Lord Jesus
10:39 Christ will you
10:42 turn to materialism is that the
10:49 turn to false
10:52 religions you know man is incurably
10:55 religious and if he goes away from Jesus
10:57 Christ he's going to go to some other
11:00 false religion but remember what je what
11:02 what what Peter said to Jesus to whom
11:05 shall we go you
11:10 alone have the words of eternal
11:13 life if you go to confucious grave it'll be
11:14 be
11:18 occupied if you go to Buddha's grave
11:20 it'll be occupied if you go to
11:23 Muhammad's grave it will be
11:26 occupied if you go to Jesus grave it's
11:29 empty it's empty Jesus came came out of
11:31 that grave you can take Buddha out of
11:33 Buddhism and still have Buddhism you can
11:35 take confucious out of Confucianism and
11:37 still have Confucianism you can take
11:39 Muhammad out of Islam and still
11:41 basically nothing has changed but you
11:44 can't take Jesus out of
11:46 Christianity and have
11:48 Christianity Christianity is not just a
11:51 Creed or a code or a cause or church it
11:54 is Christ it is a vital relationship
11:56 with Jesus Christ and and and and Simon
11:58 Peter asked this question well uh where
11:59 should we go
12:02 go we go to atheism we go to philosophy
12:05 we go to materialism we go to false
12:10 religions where shall we go you
12:12 alone have the answer now let me tell
12:14 you something about Jesus
12:17 Christ people listen to me those of you
12:19 who are listening on television listen
12:22 to me Jesus Christ
12:26 Alone only Jesus has the answer to the
12:29 things that really matter only Jesus
12:31 Jesus can meet the deepest hunger of the
12:35 human heart only Jesus is the answer to
12:38 man's sin only Jesus gives meaning to
12:41 life and death only Jesus can take the
12:43 sting out of sin the Gloom out of the
12:46 Grave the pain out of parting and give
12:48 hope that is steadfast and sure to whom
12:53 shall we go he alone has the answers of
12:55 life and death but that brings a
12:59 question how do we know
13:02 that Jesus is who we say he is
13:04 is
13:07 why why do we believe in Jesus why have
13:10 I given my life to
13:18 him why would I be willing to die for
13:22 him if necessary why four
13:27 reasons four reasons that we can know
13:30 and be sure that we believe and are sure
13:33 that thou art the Christ the son of the
13:35 Living God the first reason that I
13:38 shared with these and I shared with
13:42 you is the historical reason Jesus
13:51 f fact of history now I don't care
13:51 whether you're a Believer or whether
13:53 you're not a Believer whether you're a
13:55 Christian or someone
14:00 else you must admit you have to admit
14:03 the man named Jesus was here upon this
14:07 Earth all of the SEC secular
14:10 historians that have any Merit at all
14:11 admit the fact of Jesus Christ
14:13 regardless of what they believe about
14:16 him HG wells in his outline of
14:19 History listed the 10 greatest men of
14:21 history and number one on the list was Jesus
14:22 Jesus
14:24 Christ he's a
14:29 historian sir G uh JG Fraser
14:30 a historian you certainly wouldn't call
14:32 him an Evangelical Christian a born-
14:34 again Christian said this and listen to
14:38 it my theory assumes the historical
14:40 reality of Jesus of Nazareth as the
14:42 great religious and moral teacher who
14:44 founded Christianity and was crucified
14:46 at Jerusalem under the governorship of
14:48 Pontius Pilate the testimony of the
14:50 gospels confirmed by the Hostile
14:54 evidence of tacitus and younger plenty
14:57 appears amply sufficient to establish
15:00 these facts to the the satisfaction of
15:03 unprejudiced inquirers what's he
15:06 saying he's saying if you're a historian
15:10 you have to admit you have to admit that
15:12 the man Jesus regardless of what else
15:15 you think about him that he was
15:20 here his birth and life splits
15:23 history every time you uh put your date
15:27 on a check or on a letter you're giving
15:29 testimony to the fact that a man named
15:34 Jesus of Nazareth was here regardless of
15:37 what you think about him he is a fact of
15:39 history there's no way to explain the
15:42 Christian Church the fact that we're
15:44 here apart from the fact that Jesus
15:47 Christ was here and what did the early
15:48 Church begin to
15:51 preach not only that the man was here
15:54 but that man walked out of the Grave
15:56 that was the central fact of the
15:59 preaching of the early church how do you
16:02 explain that how do you explain not our
16:08 backy that grew out of The Life and
16:17 eyewitnesses they believed in his
16:20 resurrection someone says well they were
16:22 hallucinating well he appeared to more
16:28 hallucination somebody says well uh uh
16:31 he was a ghost no he ate with him they
16:35 felt him they touched him somebody says
16:37 well they were just made up a story it
16:38 they said they touched him they said
16:41 they ate with him
16:45 oh these men who died for their
16:47 faith do you think they would die for a
16:50 lie willingly knowingly a man may live
16:51 for a
16:54 lie but few may die for a
16:58 lie these early Christians paid with
16:59 their Li
17:02 for their faith how do you explain the
17:06 historical fact of Jesus Christ and the church
17:08 church
17:10 apart from the reality of the
17:12 resurrection of Jesus Christ I believe
17:14 in him for historical reasons it has
17:16 well been said there is more proof that
17:19 Jesus Christ rose from the dead than
17:21 that Julius Caesar lived he has shown to
17:22 be the Son of God with power by the
17:24 resurrection from the dead and the Bible
17:26 says he showed himself alive with many
17:29 infallible proofs here's the second
17:31 reason I believe in Jesus
17:35 Christ and and uh by the way if you let
17:37 me give you some scripture uh look if
17:39 you will in chapter 6: 38 this deals
17:43 with the historical fact for I came down
17:47 from heaven he was here that's the
17:49 historical fact now let me give you the
17:51 second reason I believe in him not only
17:52 for historical
17:55 reasons but I believe in him for
17:57 scriptural reasons look if you will now
17:59 in chapter 6:44
18:01 this Jesus who came down from heaven
18:04 said no man can come to me except the
18:07 Father which hath sent me draw him and I
18:10 will raise him up at the last day it is
18:14 written in the prophets and they shall
18:18 all be taught of God I told those men
18:21 and I tell you today that I believe in
18:25 Jesus Christ because I believe the Bible
18:28 the word of God well you say Pastor that
18:30 just that just moves the question back a
18:33 little bit because to say that you
18:34 believe in Jesus Christ because you
18:36 believe the Bible causes us to ask how
18:39 do we know the Bible is true that's a
18:41 good question and I talked to those men
18:43 and I said I want to tell you and to
18:45 those ladies and to those Russian
18:47 soldiers and army officers I want to
18:49 tell you why I believe the Bible is the
18:52 word of God and I took time to explain
18:55 to them how I know that the Bible is the
18:57 word of God and I gave them the great
19:00 five proofs of the inspiration of Holy
19:02 Scripture and what are they number one fulfilled
19:04 fulfilled
19:06 prophecy number two the wonderful Unity
19:09 of the Bible written over 1500 years by
19:10 at least 40 different authors in three different
19:12 different
19:16 languages on all kinds of subjects 66
19:18 books that make one book The Wonderful
19:20 Unity of the Bible I talked to them
19:23 about the longevity of the Bible how the
19:25 Bible has lasted through the centuries
19:27 and how how men have made laws against
19:30 it and how even there in in in uh Soviet
19:34 Russia it was a crime to bring Bibles in
19:37 to Soviet Russia and I reminded them
19:38 every one of them there that I had a
19:40 Bible for them to give them when they
19:42 left and they broke out in
19:45 Applause to give to them the word of God
19:48 how do you explain the longevity the
19:50 everliving quality of the Bible I talked
19:52 to them about the accuracy of the Bible
19:54 and the scientific and the historical
19:56 accuracy of the Bible then I talked to
19:59 them about the power of the Bible Jesus
20:01 said the words that I speak unto you
20:06 they are spirit and they are life he
20:08 said that in the sixth
20:10 chapter and I told them how the reading
20:12 of God's word had transformed my life
20:14 and I told them that we know the Bible
20:17 is the word of God and I told them as I
20:20 tell you the central theme of the Bible
20:23 is Jesus Christ now if you read the
20:26 Bible and you don't find Jesus Christ go
20:29 back and reread the Bible he is the hero
20:33 of the Bible the Bible is his story it
20:36 is the story of Jesus Christ put this
20:38 verse in your margin acts
20:42 10:43 to him that is to Jesus give all
20:44 the prophets witness that through his
20:47 name whosoever believeth in him uh shall
20:50 have remission of sins and so Jesus said
20:54 here in John 6: 45 it is written in the
20:58 prophets and they shall be taught of God
21:02 Jesus called upon the scriptures to
21:05 testify of him and how do the scriptures
21:08 tell us of Jesus what
21:11 Jesus do these inspired words tell us
21:14 about well they tell us about the Virgin
21:17 born son of God his life began with a miraculous
21:19 miraculous
21:22 birth then he lived a miraculous life I
21:24 told them as I'm going to tell you how
21:29 Jesus Christ is absolutely unique
21:31 as he's presented in the Bible that's
21:34 one thing to believe that Jesus was here
21:37 but what kind of Jesus does the bible
21:40 describe it describes a sinless man a
21:43 man who never modified or withdrew any
21:46 statement that he ever made a man who
21:48 never apologized for anything he did
21:50 though he were often understood
21:52 misunderstood a man who never asked
21:55 advice for from anybody even though he
21:57 walked among the Pharisees and the
22:00 scribes and the doctor of the law a man
22:03 who never troubled to justify his
22:05 actions when many people misunderstood
22:07 what he did like when he delayed to come
22:09 uh to
22:12 Lazarus sick bed he never tried to
22:15 justify or say I'm sorry I hope you'll
22:20 understand he never confessed sin one
22:24 time never asked forgiveness about
22:26 anything what an incredible life he
22:34 Bible what strong points did Jesus have
22:36 have
22:38 none because he didn't have any weak
22:43 points every life every part of his life
22:47 was completely totally balanced in perfect
22:49 perfect
22:52 cemetry the Bible presents his Miracle
22:55 birth the Bible presents his Miracle
22:58 life the Bible tells about his sacrificial
22:59 sacrificial
23:02 death let me tell you what was unique
23:04 about the death of Jesus Christ not that
23:07 he died other Martyrs have died he was
23:10 the only one who chose to die you say
23:12 well other people choose to die oh no
23:14 even a suicide doesn't choose to die he
23:16 just chooses to die
23:19 early a new statistic out on death one
23:21 out of one people
23:24 die everybody's going to die except
23:26 Jesus there was no sin in
23:29 him there was no Reon reason for him to
23:32 die Jesus said no man takes my life from
23:35 me I lay it down of
23:38 myself he was the only man who chose to
23:40 Die the Bible presents him as the one
23:43 who came out of that grave he is the
23:47 only one who has been raised from the
23:50 dead you say now wait a minute Pastor
23:51 other people came back to life what
23:54 about Lazarus Lazarus was resuscitated
23:57 to die again Jesus was resurrected and
23:59 he lives in a glorified body and has
24:01 become the first fruits of all of those
24:03 of us who sleep and Jesus said he will
24:06 raise us up at the last day what I'm
24:08 trying to say is I believe in Jesus
24:10 Christ because he is an historical fact
24:12 there is no way that you can explain the
24:14 Church of Jesus Christ apart from the
24:17 history of Jesus who lived died and rose
24:19 again and I believe in him because of
24:22 the Bible the Bible a miracle book that
24:25 has stood the test of the ages presents
24:27 Jesus Christ as absolutely and totally
24:29 unique let me give you the third reason
24:32 that I believe in Jesus Christ and I
24:34 believe in Jesus Christ for Spiritual
24:37 reasons look if you will now in verse 63
24:38 of this same
24:41 chapter Jesus presenting himself to
24:44 those multitudes said it is the
24:49 spirit that quickeneth the flesh
24:52 profiteth nothing you will never with
24:53 your human
24:57 mind comprehend who Jesus Christ is it
25:01 is the spirit of God the holy spirit
25:03 that quickens that helps you to
25:06 understand that gives life Jesus said of
25:09 the Holy Spirit he will testify of me
25:11 just put your bookmark there and turn if
25:14 you will uh to another book that John
25:16 wrote turn to First John chapter 5 if you
25:17 you
25:19 would let me show you how the holy
25:21 spirit of God will convict you and
25:24 convince you as to who Jesus Christ is
25:27 if you want to know look if you will in
25:31 in 1 John uh five and verse
25:34 6 this is he that came by water and
25:38 blood even Jesus Christ not by water
25:41 only but by water and blood he's talking
25:43 about the water and the blood that came
25:45 out of Jesus side when he was crucified
25:49 now notice in verse uh six and it is the
25:53 spirit that beareth witness because the
25:55 spirit is truth there are three that
25:57 bear record in heaven the Father the
25:58 word and the Holy Ghost ghost and these
26:00 three are one and they three that bear
26:02 witness in Earth the spirit the water
26:06 and the blood and these three agree in one
26:08 one
26:09 now Pastor
26:12 Rogers do you expect me to believe in
26:15 Jesus Christ just because you say that
26:17 he was a historical fact even if I
26:20 believe that I'm not going to trust him
26:22 or do you believe that I'm going to
26:24 believe in Jesus Christ just because
26:27 your book says that he lived and you
26:29 have evidence for the inspiration ation
26:32 of the Bible that's not enough for me I
26:36 will agree you need something else you
26:39 need the holy spirit of God to say Amen
26:42 to these other facts you need the holy
26:44 spirit of God to take you and convict
26:47 you and convince you I've told you
26:49 before anything I can talk you into
26:51 somebody else can talk you out of but
26:54 now notice in verse 9 if we receive the
26:57 witness of men the witness of God is greater
26:58 greater
27:00 for this is the witness of God which he
27:04 has testified of his son God the holy
27:07 spirit will testify in your
27:09 hearts I mean we receive the witness of
27:12 men somebody tells us something is true
27:16 and we believe it I ate in a restaurant
27:18 I had to trust the
27:23 cook you read a map you trust the map
27:26 maker I mean you're trusting the
27:27 engineer that built this building that's
27:30 a pretty big SP across there it may come
27:33 down in 3 seconds I hope you're ready to
27:37 go what am I saying I'm saying we trust
27:40 people every day if we receive the
27:41 witness of
27:44 men the witness of God is greater and
27:45 the word if there may be translated
27:48 since since we receive the witness of
27:51 men the witness of God is greater God
27:53 the Holy Spirit I told these and I will
27:56 tell you if you want to know who Jesus
28:00 Christ is ask the the Holy
28:02 Spirit God doesn't just say that you
28:04 must believe and if you can't believe
28:06 that's your hard luck God says if you
28:09 want to believe I will help you to
28:10 understand and to know that these things
28:13 are true and don't anybody in this
28:20 believe you may refuse to believe but I
28:22 will tell you this that if you want to
28:24 believe in Jesus Christ if you seek
28:28 truth God the Holy Spirit will speak to
28:31 you and confirm to you that Jesus is the
28:33 Christ the son of the Living God he
28:36 witnesses to you and then he Witnesses
28:38 in you look if you will in verse 10 he
28:40 that believeth on the Son of God hath
28:44 the witness in himself verse n speaks of
28:46 his witness to us verse 10 speaks of his
28:48 witness on the
28:51 inside you see why do I believe in Jesus
28:53 Christ well first of all the holy spirit
28:56 said to me he is the Son of God and once
28:58 I received him into my heart now I have
29:00 the witness in myself and you could
29:02 argue with me all day long and never
29:05 convince me against Jesus Christ you
29:07 could bring sophisticated arguments to
29:10 me but I have the witness on the inside
29:13 and a Christian with the witness in his
29:14 heart is never at the mercy of a man
29:17 with an argument in his mouth learn that
29:21 my friend the Bible says taste and see
29:23 that the Lord is good and I gave my
29:25 testimony to these in the Red Army
29:26 theater and I'll give my testimony to
29:29 you I have tasted and I I know and if
29:31 you were to tell me that apple pie is
29:33 not good or there is no apple pie when
29:36 I've just eaten a piece of apple pie you
29:38 can argue all you want but I've got the
29:41 evidence on the inside amen taste and
29:43 see that the Lord is good he that
29:47 believeth hath the witness in
29:49 himself why do we believe in Jesus
29:52 Christ the historical Reasons I'm that
29:55 bread that came down from
29:58 heaven the scriptural reasons the
30:01 prophets testify of me he said the spiritual
30:02 spiritual
30:05 reasons the words I speak unto you there
30:08 spirit in their life the flesh profiteth
30:10 nothing it is the spirit that quickeneth
30:12 then I gave them the last of these
30:14 reasons that I want to give you why I
30:17 believe in Jesus Christ I believe in him
30:20 for personal reasons notice what Peter
30:23 said here again go back to our text if
30:26 you will John chapter 6 and look for
30:29 just one more moment look if you will in
30:33 verse 68 then Simon Peter answered
30:37 himl to whom shall we go thou Hast the
30:40 words of eternal life and we believe and
30:42 are sure that thou art the Christ the
30:45 son of the Living God what was Peter
30:48 saying Peter was saying I know it
30:51 personally I know it personally I have
30:54 proven it not only does history tell me
30:56 that he's the son of God not only does
30:58 the bible tell me he's the son of God
30:59 God not only does the Holy Spirit tell
31:01 me the son of that he's the son of God
31:05 but I know through personal experience
31:09 for personal reasons I can testify I'm
31:12 sure I prayed with a young man to
31:15 receive Christ he was searching I'll
31:16 never forget his
31:20 question he looked at me he said pastor
31:24 tell me is he real to
31:28 you and I said yes he's real
31:29 yes he is
31:35 real he is real to me I
31:40 know I am sure that he's the Christ the
31:42 son of the Living God I want to tell you
31:44 something else the best people I know
31:46 know him amen the best people I know
31:50 love him I mean I've met a lot of folks
31:51 I met some charlatans I met some
31:54 Hypocrites I've met some Impostors and
31:56 Jesus in this sixth chapter of John
31:59 talked about Judas who was a false
32:01 Apostle but I'm going to tell you one thing
32:02 thing

32:39 Jesus and I want to ask you to believe in
32:40 in

32:47 did then I said if you prayed that
32:49 prayer and ask Christ into your heart
32:51 would you lift up your
32:54 hand and it looked to me like more than
32:56 half of those soldiers there lifted up
33:00 their hand they pray to receive Christ

33:07 Savior and I wonder oh precious friend

33:32 passeth understanding nobody else has
33:34 the words of eternal life no one else

33:41 did and I want you to know and be sure
33:42 that he's the son of God would you bow
33:44 your heads in
