Summary

“It is my firm belief that the number of the saved will be far greater than that of the damned. It is written that in all things Jesus shall have the pre-eminence. And why is this to be left out? Can we think that Satan will have more followers than Jesus? Oh, no! For while it is written that the redeemed are a number that no man can number, it is not recorded that the lost are beyond numeration! True, we know that the visible elect are always a remnant, but then there are others to be added. Think for a moment of the army of infant souls who are now in Heaven. These all fell in Adam, but being all elect, were all redeemed and all regenerated and were privileged to fly straight from the mother’s breasts to Glory! Happy lot, which we who are spared, might well envy! Nor let it be forgotten that the multitudes of converts in the millennial age will very much turn the scale. For then the world will be exceedingly populous and a thousand years of a reign of Grace might easily suffice to overcome the majority accumulated by sin during 6,000 years of its tyranny. In that peaceful period, when all shall know Him, from the least even unto the greatest, the sons of God shall fly as doves to their windows and the Redeemer’s family shall be exceedingly multiplied! What though those who have been deluded by superstition and destroyed by lust must be counted by thousands—Grace has still the pre-eminence. Saul has slain his thousands, but David his tens of thousands.” -Charles Spurgeon

0:00.0	Leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform. I get it. It's annoying. Everybody
0:05.7	asks, but I'm going to tell you why. When you give us a positive review, what that does is it
0:10.8	triggers the algorithm so that our podcast shows up on more people's news feeds. You and I both know
0:17.2	that this ministry is willing to talk about things that most ministries aren't. We need
0:22.3	this content for the glory of God to reach more people's ears. Amen. Please join me in standing for the
0:29.3	reading of God's word. This morning we continue our series through the gospel according to Matthew.
0:34.5	Our text for today is Matthew chapter 7 verses 12, 13 and 14. Again, Our text for today is Matthew chapter 7, verses 12, 13, and 14. Again, our text for
0:40.8	today is Matthew chapter 7, verses 12, 13, and 14. I'll read our text for us in its entirety. When I
0:46.9	finish reading the text, I'm going to say, this is the word of the Lord, at which point I would
0:50.0	appreciate very much if you would respond by saying thanks be to God. One final time,
0:55.3	our text for today is the gospel according to Matthew chapter 7, verses 12, 13, and 14. The Bible says
1:02.1	this. So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them. For this is the law
1:08.3	and the prophets. Enter by the narrow gate. for the gate is wide and the way is easy
1:14.8	that leads to destruction and those who enter by it are many for the gate is narrow and the way is hard
1:22.3	that leads to life and those who find it are few. This is the word of the Lord.
1:30.2	All right, please be seated. Let's begin. As quickly as possible, I'd like to address
1:35.2	the first verse of our text, verse 12, and then the second point of the sermon today
1:40.2	will deal with the last two verses, namely verse 13 and 14. Verse 12, once more, the Bible says
1:49.6	this, so whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the law
1:54.8	and the prophets. What's being said by Jesus in verse 12 of our text at the very end there for this is the law and the
2:03.5	prophets what Jesus is essentially saying is that this is the law and the prophets summarized
2:08.8	this is the summary of the law and the prophets it's very reminiscent of what Jesus says elsewhere
