Voice Of Prophecy

H.M.S. Richards

On the Day of the Cross

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 Heralds, Del Delker, Brad Braley, and HMS Richards, a Seventh-day Adventist minister, the Voice of Prophecy speaker.

The quartet's first presentation is a medley of 3 songs that express how the love of Jesus grows dearer and sweeter to the Christian with the passing of each day.

Every day with Jesus is sweeter than the day before.

Of Jesus' love that sought me when I was lost in sin, of wondrous grace that brought me back to his fold again, of heights and depths of mercy, far deeper than the sea, and higher than the heavens, my theme Sweeter as the years go by, sweeter as the years go by.

Ye who the love of a mother have known, There is a Love sweeter far than your own, Love all sufficient for sin to atone, Jesus is dearer than all, Dearer than all, yes, dearer than all.

No friend like Jesus my soul can enthrall.

Our Heavenly Father, bless us, we pray, in this broadcast, as we bring to the minds of the people the solemn events that took place on the day of the cross.

Bring, we pray, peace to the hearts of all listeners.

There is a place of quiet rest Near to the heart of God A place where sin cannot molest, near to the heart of God.

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

Miss Delker is answering many of your requests now as she sings It Took a Miracle.

My father is omnipotent, on that you can rely.

A God of might and miracles, Tis written in the sky.

It took a miracle to put the stars in place.

It took a miracle to hang the world in space.

But when he saved my soul, cleansed and made me whole, It took a miracle of love and grace.

Though here his glory has been shown, we will not fully see the wonders of his might and throne until eternity.

Here now is HMS Richards, the Voice of Prophecy speaker, is subject, On the Day of the Cross.

And that was a day unlike any other day before or since.

It was a day of betrayal, a day of disappointment, a day of heartbreak.

It was the day on which the sun was darkened at noon, a day on which the earth shook as though it trembled before the awful scene on Calvary.

It was the day on which mankind, church and state, rejected the Son of God.

The day on which he cried out in agony, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

The day on which his own disciples forsook him and fled.

It was the day of Christ's atoning sacrifice for the world.

It was the day on which men seemed to turn the face of hatred toward heaven, and God turned the face of love toward the earth.

There have been and there are various theories of the atonement of Christ for men, but the 1 that is plain and true and simple so that we can all understand it is the statement of the great Apostle Paul in 1st Corinthians 15 3.

Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures.

There have been many great teachers in the world but only 1 Savior.

Thou shalt call his name Jesus said the angel for he shall save his people from their sins.

Since the wages of sin is death, as we read in Romans the sixth chapter, The only way to save sinners would be to die for them, to take their wages.

God could not save sinners as such, for sin is the transgression of the law.

The penalty for sin as pronounced by God himself is death.

I cannot forget the truism that the judge is condemned when the guilty is acquitted.

The only way for God to be just, and at the same time, the justifier of the sinner is for that sinner to believe in Jesus as his substitute and for Jesus to take his place and be treated as he deserved that the sinner might be treated as Jesus deserved.

Dale, the great English preacher, who once said very beautifully about the work of Jesus, the real truth is that while he came to preach the gospel, his chief object in coming was that there might be a gospel to preach.

True it is that it was our Savior's death upon the cross that gives us a gospel, the good news of salvation and brings hope to the world.

And Jesus died voluntarily, never forget that.

Our Savior said, and I'm reading John the 10th chapter, 17th verse beginning, Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.

No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself.

I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again.

This commandment have I received of my Father.

We must not think of God the Father as demanding the death of his Son as a means of appeasing his own wrath and reconciling himself to us.

Such a conception of the Atonement arises from a perverted idea of the character of God.

Never forget that the love of Christ is the love of God.

For God was in Christ, said the Apostle, reconciling the world unto himself.

Yes, he suffered with him in Gethsemane and on the cross.

There the heart of infinite love paid the price of our redemption.

For it is written, let us all repeat it together, there in Radioland, everyone join us, God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.

You see, we need to be reconciled to God, not God to us, for God has always loved us.

There are those who assert that it's contrary to justice for 1 to bear punishment to another, but we need to remember that God did not punish Christ for our sins.

Punishment implies a moral responsibility, a personal guilt.

Jesus voluntarily assumed the penalty for man's sin and met it but not as a punishment.

He freely took the liabilities of those who were bankrupt through sin.

Ogden Armour some time ago discharged about 18 million dollars of personal liabilities of the testator, sacrificing their own private fortune to do it, although there was no legal claim upon them.

They did it merely for the protection of the good name of the family.

No 1 could complain that there was injustice in the act since it was done voluntarily and not under pressure.

The party's concern were universally lauded for their willingness to carry a family burden.

This is only a feeble illustration of what we are trying to make plain, but Francia does suggest the wide difference between suffering and punishment due another, and voluntarily paying the penalty involved in the conduct of another.

We must remember that righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.
