00:00:00.081 --> 00:00:03.205
You've heard of the glorious achievements

00:00:03.205 --> 00:00:05.114
of the Son of God

00:00:05.114 --> 00:00:08.740
that He's purged our sins.

00:00:08.740 --> 00:00:09.951
I've told you that God

00:00:09.951 --> 00:00:13.321
is absolutely satisfied with that.

00:00:13.321 --> 00:00:20.384
Are you satisfied with what 
Jesus Christ has done?

00:00:20.384 --> 00:00:25.168
Are you absolutely satisfied

00:00:25.168 --> 00:00:27.694
with what Jesus Christ has done?

00:00:27.694 --> 00:00:30.625
Are you completely satisfied

00:00:30.625 --> 00:00:34.308
with what Jesus Christ has done?

00:00:34.308 --> 00:00:36.915
Are you sitting?

00:00:36.915 --> 00:00:42.365
And looking at Him?

00:00:42.365 --> 00:00:44.558
And when you feel your sin and your guilt

00:00:44.558 --> 00:00:47.644
you look to Him and you say:

00:00:47.644 --> 00:00:50.172
He took it away.

00:00:50.172 --> 00:00:55.375
All my past sins are forgiven sins

00:00:55.375 --> 00:01:00.211
because of what Jesus Christ has done.

00:01:00.211 --> 00:01:02.243
And when Satan comes and reminds you

00:01:02.243 --> 00:01:04.332
of how you hurt people you love,

00:01:04.332 --> 00:01:05.627
people who love you,

00:01:05.627 --> 00:01:07.520
who were dependent on you,

00:01:07.520 --> 00:01:11.376
and how terrible you treated them,

00:01:11.376 --> 00:01:16.308
you say, "but Christ dealt with that sin,

00:01:16.308 --> 00:01:18.903
that guilt, that shame."

00:01:18.903 --> 00:01:21.446
When you fall for the thousandth time

00:01:21.446 --> 00:01:24.131
into sins of imagination and thought

00:01:24.131 --> 00:01:27.006
and omission,

00:01:27.006 --> 00:01:29.078
He dealt with that sin.

00:01:29.078 --> 00:01:34.306
He took it in His own body on the cross.

00:01:34.306 --> 00:01:38.011
Christ by Himself purged our sins.

00:01:38.011 --> 00:01:40.222
Do you believe that?

00:01:40.222 --> 00:01:43.916
Does everyone in this 
congregation believe that?

00:01:43.916 --> 00:01:48.836
Everyone who believes 
in it is a Christian.

00:01:48.836 --> 00:01:52.049
Not great Christians.

00:01:52.049 --> 00:01:55.186
I'm not interested in great Christians.

00:01:55.186 --> 00:02:00.547
I'm interested in mere believers.

00:02:00.547 --> 00:02:06.679
Mere lookers at this Jesus.

00:02:06.679 --> 00:02:10.166
It is settled once and for all.

00:02:10.166 --> 00:02:14.594
You've left it all with Jesus long ago.

00:02:14.594 --> 00:02:16.375
When a man is drowning,

00:02:16.375 --> 00:02:19.067
and the life guard swims out to him,

00:02:19.067 --> 00:02:21.951
the life guard doesn't speak to him

00:02:21.951 --> 00:02:23.012
and say to him,

00:02:23.012 --> 00:02:24.967
"Now there's the shore.

00:02:24.967 --> 00:02:26.646
That's the direction.

00:02:26.646 --> 00:02:29.935
That's where you've got to swim to."

00:02:29.935 --> 00:02:31.649
He doesn't tell him that, does he?

00:02:31.649 --> 00:02:32.991
He says, "Don't move now.

00:02:32.991 --> 00:02:34.501
Don't move.

00:02:34.501 --> 00:02:40.167
Don't stop me from saving you."

00:02:40.167 --> 00:02:41.772
And he puts his arm around him

00:02:41.772 --> 00:02:42.974
and he holds him

00:02:42.974 --> 00:02:45.209
and he powerfully swims

00:02:45.209 --> 00:02:49.109
and he saves the man.

00:02:49.109 --> 00:02:53.178
Please don't stop the Lord Jesus Christ

00:02:53.178 --> 00:02:56.780
from saving you this morning

00:02:56.780 --> 00:03:00.102
by thinking you've got to do something;

00:03:00.102 --> 00:03:03.616
you've got to add to what He's done.

00:03:03.616 --> 00:03:07.920
You just look at Him. Look at Him.

00:03:07.920 --> 00:03:09.224
I want you to sit.

00:03:09.224 --> 00:03:11.593
I don't want you to bat an eyelid.

00:03:11.593 --> 00:03:13.064
I don't want you to breathe.

00:03:13.064 --> 00:03:16.298
I want you to purge the word "do"

00:03:16.298 --> 00:03:17.694
from your mind.

00:03:17.694 --> 00:03:22.738
I never want you to think about doing.

00:03:22.738 --> 00:03:26.444
This has to be settled first.

00:03:26.444 --> 00:03:30.204
Till to Jesus' work you cling,

00:03:30.204 --> 00:03:32.559
by a simple faith,

00:03:32.559 --> 00:03:34.854
doing is a deadly thing,

00:03:34.854 --> 00:03:37.749
doing ends in death.

00:03:37.749 --> 00:03:39.987
Sit.

00:03:39.987 --> 00:03:44.664
And consider what Christ did

00:03:44.664 --> 00:03:47.716
and where He is now.

00:03:47.716 --> 00:03:50.177
Be absolutely satisfied with that.

00:03:50.177 --> 00:03:52.752
Let your conscience be satisfied with it.

00:03:52.752 --> 00:03:56.241
Let your intellect be satisfied with it.

00:03:56.241 --> 00:04:01.230
Let your mind, let your past be satisfied

00:04:01.230 --> 00:04:04.322
with what Jesus Christ has done.

00:04:04.322 --> 00:04:07.190
If God is satisfied with it,

00:04:07.190 --> 00:04:11.816
then Texas sinners can 
be satisfied with it.

00:04:11.816 --> 00:04:16.258
Don't move a muscle.

00:04:16.258 --> 00:04:18.423
Settle on this.

00:04:18.423 --> 00:04:21.585
I the chief of sinners am,

00:04:21.585 --> 00:04:26.398
but Jesus died for me.

00:04:26.398 --> 00:04:29.039
This except was taken 
from the full sermon:

00:04:29.039 --> 00:04:33.454
"The Greatness of Jesus Christ: 
His Work (Part 2)"
