"No man can come to Me except My Father draws him first." And every man that comes to Christ is a love gift from God, and Christ puts him to the test. And if he stands the test, He puts him in the bridge, tightens him down, gives him a position, and sets him there, knowing that he will hold to the end road. Amen. Time-tested material: "Upon this rock," not upon some rock of fanaticism, not upon a bunch of emotion, not upon a bunch of church theology, not upon some denomination, but "upon this solid Rock (Christ's Word) I'll build My church; and the gates of hell can never prevail against it." It'll be there; it'll be a memorial of His grace in the presence of the Angels.
When the Angels question Him one day, "Why did you go to earth," He will come back and present that church without fault, without spot, without wrinkle. There's the material. There's the thing, His reputation. He must do it. That bridge builder had to build the bridge. He must do it or loses his reputation.
Christ will have a Church. And He must do it because He came to the earth and become flesh and dwelled among us and became sin that we might become righteous. He become us, that we, by His grace, might become Him. He came to take our place as a sinner, to let us have His place as sons and daughters of God in the presence of His majesty. What a grace of God. How could we say them words are not right. "Heavens and earth shall pass away, but them words will never pass."
Little blind Indian boy a few nights ago, blind since he was three--three or four weeks old, received his sight, normal, then walked off the platform. What was it? It was a time-tested memorial of the power and grace of Jesus Christ. Blessed be His holy Name. Time-tested, trials, troubles, shakes and pull, it's only to find the blows in you, to see if there's any there. It's God shaking you and trying you.
