Hello, friends. This is Scott Pauli, and I'm thrilled you've joined us for the weekend pulpit.

From time to time, it's my privilege to share a Bible message that God is used to affect my life in a unique way.

And today's message from God's Word is from a guest preacher and someone that is very special

to me.

I hope you'll get your Bible and follow along as we listen for the Lord to speak to our hearts. Well, we've got a great passage of scripture.

I hope you have your Bibles open to Matthew chapter 12.

Matthew chapter 12.

That was the second passage that Kegan read.

He read verses 41 and 42.

I want to show you something in verse 42.

Now, when you read the Old Testament, there are some parts of the Old Testament that you read

and you understand, oh, I know why God put that in there. There's great passages, for instance,

some of the Psalms. There's one Psalm, and here's how it starts.

Okay?

Here's how it starts out.

My God, my God, why has thou forsaken me?

Well, we know that, why that's in there, don't we?

Because that's one of the things Christ said on the cross, is it not?

That's the Psalm about the cross.

We know that why Isaiah 53's there, where it talks about how Christ was the, as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth.

Who hath believed I report to whom is the arm of the order of view?

That's the Psalm about Christ.
