Voice Of Prophecy

H.M.S. Richards

This Man

Lift up the trumpet and loud let it ring, Jesus is coming again.

Cheer up you pilgrims, be joyful and sing, Jesus is coming again.

This is the voice of prophecy, a voice crying in the wilderness of these modern days.

Coming again, coming again, Jesus is coming again.

From our Voice of Prophecy studios in Los Angeles, California, We welcome you to this half hour of inspiration and music with the King's Herald's, Del Delker, Brad Braley and HMS Richards, the Voice of Prophecy speaker.

Though an host of men were laid against me, were laid against me, yet shall not my heart be afraid, and though there rose a war against me, yet will I put my trust in Him.

For in the time of trouble, He shall hide me in his tabernacle.

Yea, in the secret places of his dwelling, shall he hide me and set me up upon a rock of stone.

Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Bless us today, we pray thee, and help us to honor thy name as revealed in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Remember everyone who listens, and may the voice of prophecy broadcast bring blessing to them.

A place where sin cannot molest, near to the heart of God.

O Jesus, blessed Redeemer, O Jesus, blessed Redeemer, sent from the heart of God, Hold us who bow before Thee, near to the heart of God.

♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ The King's Heralds now offer a song about the dearest name in earth or heaven, the holiest name.

Dearest name in earth or heaven, sweetest name my heart hath known, by the Father it was given to his well-beloved son.

Tis the holiest name, tis the lowliest name, from the Father's lips to the earth it came, brought by angels of light in the stillness of night, was the dear, dear name of Jesus.

O my soul would swell the chorus, singing His redeeming love, And ascribe eternal praises to the name, all names above.

We listen now to Miss Del Delker, our contralto soloist.

Her song is a musical setting of a poem entitled, Prayer Perfect.

Dear Lord, kind Lord, gracious Lord, I pray Thou wilt look on all I love tenderly today.

Weed their hearts of weariness, scatter every care.

Bring unto the sorrowing all release from pain.

♪ Overflow again ♪ And with all the needy ♪ O divide, I I pray, This vast treasure of content that is mine today.

Here now is HMS Richards, the voice of prophecy speaker.

There's only 1 subject for Christian preachers and that's a man, The man, Christ Jesus.

A young minister just beginning his work in London was talking 1 day with an aged servant of the Lord who had spent a whole lifetime in the Christian ministry.

The young man said, you've had a good deal of experience and know a great deal about the work of God.

Can you give me some advice that will help me toward a successful ministerial career?

You know that in every town in England, no matter how small, even though it's a mere village hidden away in the folds of the mountains, wrapped around by the far-off sea, or under a clump of farmhouses, you'll find a road, possibly a very narrow road, which if you follow it far enough will take you to London.

So every text in Holy Scripture from which you will preach will always have a road that leads to Jesus.

Friends, that's good advice for every preacher.

It's not for us on this broadcast to attempt an explanation of deep theological questions.

The Voice of Prophecy does not try to give a course in systematic theology in the few minutes we are on the air.

In fact, this may never be necessary for the believer, but we do have the plain, simple statements of the Holy Bible in which to rejoice.

Simple statements of holy writ in which to rejoice and be glad and upon which to base our faith in Jesus as our Savior.

It is plainly written that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself.

Not only was Jesus Christ divine, but He took upon Him the likeness of men.

He became a man so that He might die for the sins of the whole world.

You will read that in 1 John 2, verses 1 and 2.

He is actually called the man Christ Jesus.

You'll find that in 1 Timothy 2, verse 5.

Again and again and again in the New Testament he is called this man.

And of course this draws our attention to him as a real living person, a man among us here on the earth.

His worst enemies said of him, this man receiveth sinners and eateth with them.

Luke 15 to Jesus didn't separate himself from human beings because of their sin, but he associated with them to deliver them from their sin.

When he made it clear that he knew he was the Son of God, his enemy said, this man blasphemeth.

In spite of the miracles he performed and the holy life he lived and the prophecies he fulfilled, They were not willing to accept his credentials as the divine Son of God because he came as a man to this world.

When he stood before the Roman judge who was a keen observer and a reader of human character and who had heard all the evidence against him.

The verdict was, I find no fault in this man.

That was a carefully studied official verdict.

A little later as Jesus hung upon the cross, The criminal who was crucified by his side said to his companion, who in his agony was condemning and cursing the crucified Savior, this man hath done nothing amiss.

We're suffering the just reward of our deeds.

But this man has done nothing wrong." That was the conclusion of a man acquainted with sin and crime when he looked upon Jesus.

And As the darkness came down upon the earth at noon, the earth trembled, and Jesus cried that strange and bitter cry, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

The Roman soldier guarding the cross involuntarily exclaimed, Truly, this man was the Son of God." Mark 15, 39.

Years later, looking back to these events and the things that followed, the inspired writer said, but this man, after he had offered our 1 sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God.

This man, Jesus, born into this world as a man, living here as a man, and yet at the same time the divine Son of God had been with the Father in the beginning.

This Jesus, this man who lived on this earth, who suffered and died upon the cross, making atonement for our sins on Calvary's hill, this man is alive now, today, at this very moment, at the right hand of God.

Because by his purity and by his teaching he condemned their lives.

Until in rebellion against his pure and holy life they cried out, away with this man, release unto us Barabbas.

Why did Pilate, the astute politician, the keen-minded and naturally just Roman judge that he was, why did he turn Jesus over to the man who put him to death?
