But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Tonight the message is brought from the Book of Jude. And then we come to the last and the climactic book of the Bible, the Revelation. In some ways this is an epochal hour: after fifteen years of preaching through the Bible, we come at the end of this Lord’s Day to the Apocalypse, to the unveiling, to the Revelation of Jesus Christ, which He gave to John the sainted apostle to write down for us that we might know of things that are yet to come [Revelation 1:1-3].
And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich. And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature. And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.

But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand. And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him.
