Now, I knew that some boys and girls were coming tonight. I didn't know they were going to be quite as young as they are. I asked for it when they didn't have it. I asked for a gentleman, not brother, when they didn't have them. So I'm going to always say, boys and girls will come, good imagination, I hope. Because if I'm going to ask you to imagine that that is a gentleman's umbrella, it looks a bit like a fishing rod to me, but that's what I'm going to ask you to imagine. I want to say three things about a gentleman's umbrella. Just three things. I want to say something about a gentleman's umbrella when it's that way. I want to say something about a gentleman's umbrella when it's that way. And I want to say something about a gentleman's umbrella. What does that mean? Now, how about that? Here we are, it. Let me, as ever we are, shall we, we will see who are, who are, well, we'll see who's a trans boy or girl. Well, I don't want to say anything about a gentleman, but really. What's the matter, what? Pardon? Is she making you laugh? Well, there's time back then, then. That's it. Now, not a lady number. I couldn't say what I'm going to say about a lady number. And I don't really want to talk about a lady number. I'll just talk back in the morning. First of all, I want to say something about an umbrella when it's that. Beginning from the letter S. Where I hold the gentleman up from it that way, it may S. Yes? No, no, it's all. You're a great lover. Now it's not a sword. A gentleman comes, brother, when I hold it that way, it is a X. Right. A stick. No, it's not a stick. Oh, I think you know it's a stick. You're not a stick. You're not a stick. Now it's not a stick. A gentleman's got brother, but this way, eh? Well, you wouldn't say it was eight straight, would you? You know, most of you had to hope. It's eight, yes, a gentleman. You know, you don't see your brother's here, but you're there in my country, and you get back straight away. Why is it this way? Why is it that way? Is it about X? It's a shelter. Oh, work that way, it's a shelter. Work that way, it's a, eh? Well, what do you do, sir? I do, I do. You know, it's a good job, why not your school month, sir. We've got our hands up for you. Would we put it that way in the next school, yes? No, no, no. Would we put it that way out that way? It's a shelter. Would we put it that way into a house? Yes. It's a support. It's a support. But when I put it this way, it's a... You just turned. You're a small monster. What do you say? It's a zombie. Why you're a robber? Get some money. You think about it. Ask. How long did you get some money? How long is this gentleman's umbrella? That's why I couldn't say it about a lady's umbrella. Ladies and umbrellas are just like ladies. They're all soldiers. The gents and umbrellas are always the same size they are. How long is it, gentlemen? Thank you. A Gentile Brother is thirty-six inch long. It's a standard. It's a standard. Do you know how I can take my Gentile Brother? And if I want to measure the chapel, one, two, three. Well, I want to measure a person. It's a standard. Or a thing. Do you know the Lord Jesus? If I want to see how big this boy is, I don't think how tall he is, but you know how big he is. I don't stand in that serious, John. If I want to know how big this boy is, or at least I'm ready here. I don't stand in the midst of another girl, but I stand in the midst of lodges. He's the standard. Do you know what the Bible says? The Bible says he's more sin than come. We've come short of the glory of God. Christ is our standard, and when we realize that we've come short of the glory of God, then we need a shelter. You are the Lord. My mother would come to the door. She'd look back, and the rain was coming down, and she'd say, Boy, put her back home. It's... with that big girl's soft shaking hands. She don't have to deal with you. All right. Yes. While she didn't say it was lady, she would not if she would say, boys, put your nets on it. That's what my mum used to say. She said, put your nets on it. Pour it. Did you know, boys? That's the word that I would use. The Bible says that one day God is going to pour his wrath on this thing. Because we've come short of the glory of God, because we've sinned, one day God's going to pour his wrath. That's why the Lord Jesus said, not just to be a standard, but to be a shelter. We think sometimes, I expect some of you even sin in days full. What an age is. crack for me, let me hide myself in me. But the Lord Jesus came to be our shelter, that he might take the wrath of God, that we might go free. Do you remember the third thing that we had about that? Jeff, how about? He was a standard. He was a shelter. He was an egg. of support. And it's not possible that all Jesus is our standard, and yet Jesus is our shelter. Yet if we come to him and trust him, Jesus is our support. Very, very bad. He's there. And we quoted just the other evening to the big Pope. We quoted this verse. The Lord said, I will never leave you to profess me, that we might boldly say, the Lord is my helper, my support, my helper. I will not be here. One man shall do unto us. So remember, the Lord is our faculty. The Lord is our shelter, and the Lord is our support. Let me ask you one other thing, but boy's victory is our will. What would you think of a boy if he was all at the grave? And he hung him up, brother, and he hung down. And he looked down the road like this. I think you were God. You think he was stupid. I agree with you. I agree with you. Then he tore him away. He put his blood out. And he does leave again under him. I tell you, I'm not saying anymore, I don't know. How do you think then you'll know, will you? What I think of a boy or a girl, who although Jesus is coming to be our shelter, never take him as his savior take him as her son for jesus one shelter we need to come to him and shelter where is this way it was on saturday when it was this way it was on a shelter when it was this way it was on a support support So you've learned three things about a gentleman, Dr. Brother, if you've learned nothing else, haven't you? Far away. How long did you say a gentleman, Dr. Brother, was it? Thirty days. If you look the next slide, you go into a score. See all these gentlemen, Dr. Brother is there. And if all of those river winds, they hit home with their hands a full whiteout, their gentlemen, the Lord always was exiled. He was a sander. And Jesus was a sander. A shelter. And dear. Now, I thought that the big folks behaved quite well while I was talking to you, didn't you? I mean, one of the girls would shake, though. But I thought they behaved quite well. Now, because they behaved quite well, I'm going to expect you to behave quite well while I speak to the big folks. I hope they're not listening. Between you and me. I hope they're behaving better than they. not shameless. Right? Thank you. I want to read, if I may, this evening a few verses from the eleventh chapter of Hebrews. I will try and remember that we have children here But nevertheless, I feel that I must ask you just to consider with me a verse or two in the eleventh chapter of the Epistles of the Hebrews. If you have your Bibles and care to turn with me, or you may have your Bible, and yet would much rather that I just read the Scripture to you. Hebrews chapter eleven. I would like to commence reading, please, in verse twenty three. Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw that he was a proper child. And they were not afraid of the king's commandment. They thanked Moses when he was come to hear, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God. than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season. Esteeming the reproach of Christ, greater riches than the treasures of Egypt. For he had respect unto the recompense of the rewards. But in faith he forsoaked Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king. For he endured as searing him, who is invisible. Through faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch him. Now may the Lord just add his blessing to the reading of his precious word. I must talk with you, if I may, this evening concerning what I would dare call the immortal choice. Mary read that. I would have told you if I am what I would dare call the immortal choice. It is a remarkable fact, but fact indeed, that again and again and again and again in the Bible God is calling men and women through His servants to make a choice. I am not going to remind you of a great collection of texts. There comes to the mind of any Bible-loving man or woman. I am certain a number of them. But this evening I am going to take for my text, if I may, the words of the eleventh chapter of Hebrews. And I want to talk to you about the choice of Moses. That Moses, when he came to hear If I only be permitted, I want to say three very simple things about Moses' choice. Now they are so simple that the moment I start using these words, most of you are going to be able to tell me immediately what the next word will be. And look at the first one, and I must be very careful with my younger friend here. The first one, I would say back this to you, is not good luck. It's not good English at all. If my headmaster was here, I would not feel it, and then he'd look over the top of his glasses and he'd say, Boy, you're a grandmother! Oh, I wish he was here. But you know, I'd wag her finger at him and say, Mr. Jellick, you'd be muggled with my legs. Any hat? So the first thing I want to say about the choice of Moses is this, that Moses' choice was a... conscious choice. May I repeat that? But Moses' choice was a conscious choice. Now I know that it's not so great. I'm all aware of that. You could rightly come to me at the close of the service and say, but just a moment, Mr. Ford, however can you have a conscious choice? Why, if you have a conscious choice, you must be able to have the opposite, an unconscious choice. And you can't have that. The word is unnecessary. The word is not correct. And yet I used it, and I used it for a reason. And I believe, if every one of you go from the chapel to night fair... Well, I thought he was an Englishman, and he can't even speak good English. You know, I'd be rather glad if you say that. because you will remember the point that I'm going to drive home. Firstly, the choice of Moses was a conscious choice. The second thing I want to say about the choice of Moses is that it was a costly choice. He chose rather to suffer objection. than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season, esteeming the reproach of Christ, greater riches than the treasures of Egypt. So the first thing about the choice of Moses is when it was a conscious choice. The second thing about the choice of Moses, it was a costly choice. And the third simple thing about the choice of Moses, it was a controlling choice. It was the choice that he made when he was forty years of age. Oh no, he was no boy when he made it. It was the choice he made when he was forty years of age, as eighty years of age. He saw a bush that was burning and yet not consumed. Eighty years of age. and he can't decide to see that great sight. And he heard a voice say, Moses! Moses! And he said, here am I. Take the shoes from us, O I. The place where are those standards did O. The man who had thought he made his choice. It was the same choice in eighteen. Moses was a hundred and twenty years old. When he climbed Mount Nehemiah, A hundred and twenty years of age when he cried Matthew. Yet the one that he chose at forty was the one that he chose at eighty. And the one that he chose at eighty was the one that he spoke to when he was a hundred and twenty. There was a control in choice. The choice he made of Christ last in him went through his life. Firstly then, the choice of Moses was our conscious choice. Now please explain to you why I have chosen this word. You see, the more I read my Bible, the more I know this, the more I understand, the more I realize that Moses was continually being influenced by other people. You will remember that Moses was born under the sentence of death. If I was speaking to the children tonight, I think I might speak on Moses and I would say three things about Moses, and they begin with the letter S. Listen, this is what I say about Moses, boy and girls. I would say first of all, Moses was born under the sentence of death. And I will remind you that you were born under the sentence of death. I would remind you, although he was sentenced, someone came from the royal household and saw his need. And he was saved. And I would remind you that someone came from the royal household and saw your need, that you might be saved. And then I would remind you that the boy that was sentenced and the boy that was married was the boy that was sentenced. For he was raised as the son of Pharaoh's daughter. But sir, madam, would you not agree with me, even if I was telling the story to the boys and girls tonight, would you not agree with me that everything that encircled the life of Moses happened because someone else made a choice? Pharaoh had passed the law that every male child that was born to his life is slave should be brought to death. And one day that was born in the home of Jacob and Abraham, a little more. and never looked into the face of that boy, and that mother did what many a mother has done since. She risked her life for her child. For she knew that if it was found out that she had the boy and had not reported his birth, she also would have been put to death. But she risked her life for the sake of her boy. There and at home she hid him in the cupboard. I think you will grant me that not only did she reach her life, but Elmran, her husband, with his life. For he also would have been taken, and beaten to death, if it was found that he defied the pain, but they made a choice. They said, we're not going to report the birth of a boy, and it affected Moses, didn't they? Moses lived instead of God. I think you will grant me that there came a time when... Miriam made a choice. And you know, Miriam was no older than some of you older girls even. Maybe fifteen, sixteen years of age. But one very merrier made her choice, for the boy being hid in the home began to cry, and Joachim Ed realized that she couldn't hide him any longer. She made her basket, you remember, pitched it within and went out, placed the child in it, took the basket down to the water gate, and then said, I need someone to look after. And a girl of sixteen risked her life for her own brother. Oh, what a joy. Oh, what a choice. She risked her life for her own brother. Do you remember that Pharaoh's daughter came down to the water's edge. She saw the basket, had a servant, go, bring it in. And what a choice! For she looked at the baby and the scripture says, and the baby cried. Oh, what little things have changed the history of the world. just the cry of a baby, and the whole of the history of the world has been changed. That day, as that baby crawled, the Prince Anne, Pharaoh's daughter's heart was mighty, and she knew it was her. She knew it was an Israelites child. She knew it should be put to death. She was prepared to face the loss of her father. She said, I'll have that child raised as my own child. Important thing, though. Last evening in the service, I heard that my good friend Bobby Clark, down in Cape Girardeau, that his wife had just had a little girly, just a day before yesterday, I think a while. And so this morning I just wrote to them, congratulated them, and in it, by the letter, I said this, I reminded them of this wonderful chapter in Exodus, of the very story that I am preaching about this evening. And I said to them, As I would say to you, I remember as though it was yesterday, just the day before I left England to come to America, my own son and my daughter-in-law enrolled for the house were their little one. And I took that little grandson of mine in my hands, and I looked at this wee baby. And I looked there into the face of my son and daughter-in-law, and I told Bobby and his wife James a day, and I wrote them. I said, you know, I looked at that baby, and I looked at my son and my daughter-in-law, and I quoted the words of Pharaoh's daughter. When John the baby was fixed, and Pharaoh's daughter said, Take this child, and nurse him for me, and I will pay thee wages. Well, may I say something to you, mothers, here tonight, you fathers? May I say something to the father as a grandfather, may I? Look, here is the greatest request that anyone could ever have made of them. Take this child. God has given us our children and our grandchildren. Take this child. Here's the greatest request. I say, here's the greatest responsibility. nursing to me, to me. I said to my son and my daughter-in-law, my daughter and son-in-law was there as well. I said to them, remember this, that these little children of yours, God's given you them, but one day your answer to God for them. Nurse it for me, for me. I said, here is a great request. Take this child. Here's a great responsibility. Nothing for me. Listen, he is a great reward, and I will give you wages. Who is that one? It's that lovely. But God has promised. Shall I say this to you, gentlemen? I know of no greater waste that God ever gave me when one evening away in Dublin Mary and Holt, Dublin, I was preaching and my wife and family were over with me. And all the way home, my little daughter said to her daddy, do you think I could trust the Lord Jesus? We didn't wait till we got back. We sat on that curb in the heart of Dublin. And I led my son and my daughter to the Lord. I tell you, it's the finest wages I've ever had in my life. Our crazy wages. or a reward that we might win our own children for Jesus. But have you seen what's happening? Joseph Red made a choice, and Red made a choice, Mary had made a choice, her own daughter made a choice. But this is what we read. When Moses came to hear, Moses chose. That's why I said it was a conscious choice. Oh, you young people here tonight, may I say this to you? You teenage young folk, may I say this to you? Don't you think you'll ever get to heaven because your mother loves the Lord. Don't you think you'll ever get to heaven because your father's trusted Christ? Don't you think you'll ever get to heaven because someone else is a Christian? Moses had to make his own choice. you've got to make your choice a conscious choice but you know something I think it's important for us to remember not only the choice of Moses but the choice of someone else I think I need to remind you of the choice of the Savior So my Bible said, God looked down from heaven to see if there were any that did seek after him, and he set there old and dare become filled. God saw a world that was doomed and damned. God had waited such. God asked, who shall I send and who will go for it? And Christ made a choice. God the Son made a choice, but the Bible said, He said, Lo, am I. Lo, I come. In the volume of the book, it is written of me. I delight to do thy will, O my Lord. Down from heaven to earth, the Lord Jesus came. Oh, what a choice. That he was prepared to lay aside the very blessings of heaven to come down, to be born in the stable, the made in the manger. Oh, the wondrous. What a choice Jesus made. But I said it was not only a conscious choice. I said it was a conscious choice. No, please, sir. Madam, it does not. May I repeat that? It does not lie within my power to offer you this. But if it did lie within my power, what would you answer? If I could stand here tonight and look at you and say, now listen, you can have the wealth of the world or poverty. What would you choose? If I was to say to you, you could have clothes so wonderful that they're very out of fashion, or you could have a rugged garb of a shepherd. What would you choose? If I could say to you that you may have such power, that you will say to that man, go, here go, and this man come and he'll come, or you yourself can be a fervent of fervent, what would you choose? If it lay within my power to say to you tonight, you could either live in a palace, or a fumble van shatter on the back side of the desert, what would you choose? Well, I don't know because it does not lie within my power to offer you that. I only know this, but that is exactly what Moses had to face. He could have brought at the palace the Pharaoh. He chose to sat at the backside of the desert. He could have been a man with parents. He chose to be the servant of Jethro. He could have had a wonderful garden for the prince of the land. He chose the rugged garb of a shepherd. He could have had the wealth of Egypt. He chose the poverty of the backside of the desert. But listen, listen. In it he chose Christ. He chose Christ. He called, and he said, no, Christ, me. Cossack. Oh, but come, please. Please. Are you the choice of someone else to talk of? Not only the choice of one whose name was Moses. What can I say of the choice of the sage? Costly? There's not a man or a woman in this service tonight who could go home and read the second chapter of Paul's letter to the church at Philippi, without saying none of choice. He thought it not a thing to be herald on to, to be equal with God, but made himself of no reputation. took unto himself the form of a servant, became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. That's what he chose. That's what he chose. The one who indeed could call in a grave saw you, and say, Lazarus, come forth, and out from the grave came a man who was dead. the one that could put his hand upon the letter and heal him, speak the words and make the deaf to hear, touch and make the blind to see, speak and let the lame to walk. Oh, power was his. And yet he permitted men to take him, placing chains upon him leading away to the high priest's court. He probably meant to take him, and having plucked the very hair from his cheeks and pressed the crown of thorns on his brow, leave him away, and made him a legitimate costume. You know, it was your Mr. Moody who many years ago said, It took him a long while to find out what a Roman scourge was. And then he found it was made of pieces of leather, into which at six intintables they pressed pieces of bone. And thirty-nine tons, forty by one, they brought that scourge across his back. And the Bible says, They clothe the great bones in his back. And Moody said, when he found out what a Roman scourge was, He dropped on his knees and asked God to forgive him for not loving him enough. You young folk are my older brother or sister. Those of us that tell others we're Christians. What does it mean that Christ was prepared to go to the cross for us? Because if it may cross him on our knees and say God forgive me for not loving me enough. None of the ransom ever knew. How deep were the waters crossed, or how dark was the night that the Lord passed through, ere he found the sheep that was lost. I only know this, man. I only know this, man. But it was a costly thing. What is your choice? Moses, Moses, Moses, Moses! It was a conscious choice. He chose one of our collection. It was a costly choice, but it was a controlling choice. Hulbert Campbell Morgan, who once said, Of course, I suppose every picture is said as well, but I believe it was Campbell Morgan who once said that the life of Moses is divided into three parts. He was forty years learning to be somebody in the house of Pharaoh. He was forty years learning to be nobody in the backside of the desert. And then he was forty years learning what God can do with a nobody. who's prepared to come and say, Lord, I'll be your man. Forty years in Pharaoh's home. Forty years as the servant of Jethro in the backside of the desert. But forty years not exceeding the children of Israel through to the promised land. Oh, I say what a choice. A controlling choice. Yes, he made his choice as a man of forty years. he said that day Christ for me he chose to hover to suffer affliction but at eighty years of age he comes a man with a terrible stammer unable to express himself he comes and God says Moses I want you to go back to Egypt and I want you to tell Pharaoh let my people go and Moses was not concerned about standing before Pharaoh he wasn't quite in the back But he remembered the time forty years before where some of the Israelites had misunderstood him. And he said that when I stand before those Israelites, when I go back and say to them, God has sent me that you might go, whom shall I tell them have sent me? So I want to stand up and talk about God, but God's so many million miles away. God is the one who, for many years, those Jews in Israel, wondered whether he cared us for. Who should I say? That's that. Do you remember what God said? Oh, look, friend. My older friend, look. This is the most wonderful, the most wonderful. of all titles that God bears. He said to Moses, you go and tell the children of Israel that I am that I am have sent me. It's not tremendous. I am that I am. What an end! I am that I am! What an end! Is there someone here tonight and you're looking for comfort? By those Israelites of Egypt we're looking for it, weren't they? Strange being hot stars! God said, I am, that I am. He says that to you tonight. Someone is service this evening, knowing that you're not right with God, and you need his salvation. Listen, he says, I am, that I am. Someone but those Israelites in Egypt, their peers and kind, when you will have a solemn joy, listen, I am that I am. Some of you feel so weak for the journey, if I become a Christian tonight, how about tomorrow? Where will my strength come from? I am, that I am. It was later of Moses, and later after Moses, Isaiah. Did I not inform this? will I get to glory? I'd love to introduce Moses to Isaiah, not as though he won't know it, because of course he will. But I'd love to be there when they began discussing as to who said it first. I've got a feeling Moses would say, I said it first. And Isaiah said, but I said it as well. Ah, but I said it first. But I said it as well. Do you remember the shortest chapter in the prophecy of Isaiah? Chapter twelve. God is my salvation and my strength and my salvation. And that's what Moses said. God is my salvation and my strength and my God. I am now I am. And if there's someone here tonight who you know you're a sinner, I've got a God who will be my salvation. Someone here tonight who will be my salvation. someone here tonight if you feel so weak for the past in front of you God will be thy strength I am that I am and Moses went back to Egypt and he said to Pharaoh let my people go a free day journey in the wilderness that they might sacrifice they might offer unto thee and by the way I don't want to talk about this tonight because this will take too long but I want you young Christians to understand this See that in the Christian life there never has been, there never will be, there never should be any compromise. Any compromise. God said to Moses the Pharaoh, let my people go, but three day journey into the wilderness that they're, and the Pharaoh said, well I'll let them go, but let them offer their sacrifice in the land. Oh no, three day journey. Or I'll let them go, but leave their children behind. Oh no, no, no. Three-day church. Oh, I'll let them go, but let them leave their herbs and their flowers. No, no, three-day church. Oh, Pharaoh wanted to compromise, compromise, compromise. But there's no compromise in the things of God. Listen, sir, you are, or you are a Christian or not a Christian. There's no compromise. There's no such thing as half being one. While I am not a judge, for my Bible says judge not, then she be judged. Don't you forget this? I am a truth inspector. By their fruit she shall know them. And if there's no fruit, one wonders whether there's any root. Oh, let my people go. Moses stood, he'd made his choice at forty. Now he's eighteen, but it's still quite for me. He's a hundred and twenty. He climbs back neither. I think that's wonderful. I don't suppose I'll ever see a hundred and twenty. I listen to a secret if I ever do see a hundred and twenty. I'm not expecting to climb Mount Neba. Oh, no, no, no, no. I've got a feeling I might want a hell-baker. Oh, listen, you boys. Listen. Don't you forget this. But to not the Lord Jesus is to be a man. Everyone is to be a man. And on a hundred and twenty, he climbed the mountain. And there on the top of the mountain he looked out beyond the waters of Jordan, for no doubt in that time they were swollen over, and saw in the distance that city indeed of Jericho, and beyond the city that one day would know the name of Jerusalem, and would become the holy city, on whose very streets the feet of the Christ of God were tread. And he was told to cross before the plan, and God says, Moses, you can see it. But you won't enter it. You know, we are living in a day of new versions, aren't we? Oh, dearie me. They cut them out every day, don't they? No. Well, let me give you my version. I don't see why these other people got a right to give a version and not me. No, I pray no scholarship for it. But let me do your version. Listen. God said to Moses, Moses, you may see the promised land. You will not enter it yet. For the Lord, you just place one word after it. Yes. And you won't forget this. He did enter the promised land, didn't he? He did enter it. And I'll tell you something more. He entered it without going to the waters of Jordan. And he entered it without having to go to battle with Jericho. And he entered it without the defeat of Aoi. And he entered it! He did it. But I'll tell you something. He didn't enter it without Jesus. For I charge of the New Testament, and in the seventeenth chapter of Matthew, I see that blessed Savior as he takes those chosen disciples, Peter, James and John, and they climb right in the middle of the promised land, they climb a mountain, smoke and turn. And suddenly he was transfigured before them, and they appeared with him, Moses. I say, God. Hey, Moses, how did you get him? I thought we'd buried you away on Mount Nebo. But haven't you realized this? Haven't you realized that when you make your choice for Christ, it doesn't finish it there? But no, it goes beyond there. As there in the middle of the St. Brother's Land, Moses was found and made his choice. It controlled him in life. He didn't care if he was actually speaking to God. For one day he comes to him. And now we find it in company with the Christ. But that's not the end of that. Oh then, you go home and you open your Bible. And you read there in the book of the Revelation of that day that is yet to come, when one will stand with one put upon the ground and one upon the sea, and spare at your time shall be no more. what's going to happen then? The Bible says this, we'll sing. Do you know what we'll sing? We'll sing of Moses and the Lamb. It's the last song that's mentioned in the Bible. Do you know the first song that's mentioned in the Bible? Do you know the first song in the Bible? Moses' sister sang. Myriad. The first time singing is mentioned in the Bible, she stood by the water, and she sang the horse, and the rider hath he rode into the sea. It was the song of redemption, the first song of the Bible, the last song of redemption, in the Bible, the song of redemption.
