Rev. C. J. Williams spoke
from Luke 23: 44-49, a word.
picture of Calvary. Although
God loved the world enough to
send his Son to die for it, when
Christ died on Calvary, the
world did not understand His
sacrifice. Jesus did not die as
a martyr, or a criminal, but
as a substitute for us, for our
sins.
Although Jesus explained
why He was going to die, and
His resurrection, no one
understood. People did not
understand God's divine plan'
then and they do not unders-
tand it now. God's plan is on-
ly understood by the work of
the Holy Spirit.
If a person desires God's
work, the Holy Spirit will
reveal it to him. When Christ
arose from the dead, He went
to heaven .to present His
poured -out blood for the sins
of the world, so that all who
accept His sacrifice for them
can be under the power of the
protecting blood.
Rev. C. J. Williams Sunday
evening ministered from
Ephesians 1:4-7 which ex-
plains that through the
sacrifice of Jesus Christ. God
act:epts us. According to the
riches of God's grace we have
obtained an inheritance to
God's glory. We can be kept
in divine health because of
our inheritance.
