Jesus Paid It All — Keith Daniel

Thank you very, very sincerely for that lovely message and song, and thank you from my heart for the lovely singing our music director led us in, and thank you for the lovely recital who just lifted our hearts in worship to God as she played.

Thank you to Brother Bob. I think that is his name who collected us from the hotel and returned us each day. Is it Brother Bob? Is that his first name? Good. What a wonderful blessing he is in the car.

Forgive me, if you don't know things you saw, you just say in our country, Disti Olderdom. Sounds a terrible word, but it means it's old age creeping up and you forget names, you know. And everybody forgives you if you just say Disti Olderdom.

Anyway, thank you, Bob, for collecting us and the wonderful fellowship we've had each night. Thank you also to the orchestra who played so lovely tonight. What an amazing, amazing blessing to my heart, and I'm sure to everyone that's ever ventured in this church building.

Preserving Sacred Hymns and Worship

To see in this day and age when such sacrilege is being committed by the very way we sing, I don't think you can find more of the world in the world than you're finding in the church today. Don't touch the world's music, Church of Christ, ever.

We've got the greatest heritage from the heart of God, born in revivals when blood flowed and the Spirit of God moved, and nations sought God, and all hell trembled, and hymns were written that we must not bury.

And if we come near to emulating those hymns, they must be as sanctified from as godly a person. Oh, don't touch them. We're not called to entertain in the pulpit, and we must not allow entertainers, but sanctified, godly, consecrated lives who are there to be used of God.

And if you're not sure of that as they sing, don't ever allow them back in the pulpit. So bless the dear Lord for your orchestra, your pianists, your singers, your musical director. Thank you from my heart that I could just have listened to that also with all of us tonight and each night.

Thank you also for those of you who have put your name and address down on our newsletter who are prayer warriors, who've grown for souls daily, not your own soul, but others. You've got your eyes on the world now, not just yourself.

Daily in your nation, crying to God for God to visit America, and to those who put your names down of that caliber, you have honored me, and I am so grateful in my family that you would pray for us, because we know the fruit will be so much more that you put your name and address down.

If you'd like to just take a copy, even if you don't put your name and address down, just to follow in prayer on this tour of eight weeks of meetings around your country to 17 different states, I'd be very grateful for your prayers.

There's a good number of extra copies I had, so I brought them along, just so that they could be taken for extra pair. And thank you also from my heart for our dear Pastor Doug and his lovely wife and lovely family, the way they have so graciously been there for us, and the servant he has been daily to me and my wife and son.

Today he took us again to the cyclorama, where I learned the history lesson of your pastor's forefathers. Is that right? I was so thrilled to be able to act like an authority and say to Jenny and the other folks, the Glick family that came, that's the pastor's great-grandfather, I think, Mr. Johnston.

Well, General, anyway, it's one of the most amazing things I've ever seen in my life. I'm not really a tourist, but I love history, and so does Jenny and my son. And it thrilled my heart that our dear brother and sister took us along to that again for my child and my wife to see.

They will never forget it. It had such an impact on them. Thank you for the meals that they've given us in their home and then today in a restaurant that should be every city in the world. I don't know if it's only here, it's called Crackerel or something, I don't know.

I'm from the jungle. Forgive me. I suppose a lot of people think, where did this man come from the jungle? What's he doing here in this country? Anyway, you know what I mean, but that's an amazing restaurant, isn't it?

Thank you for taking us, dear brother. And blessings on every one of you. Thank you to this church for their love and letting me come back to their pulpit, knowing how unworthy I am. And I know that you know that.

But thank you for trusting me with your pulpit, especially to the pastor and his wife. Well, I just have so praised the dear Lord for him and thanked God for him from my heart and his dear godly wife and the lovely children they have.

But thank you, dear pastor, for your testimony and your ministry that has affected my life and the moments I've sat under it for good and for God's glory. And thank you for trusting me and praying for me and for the example of your life, dear sir.

To me, I am very grateful to God indeed. Can we bow for prayer, please, for one moment before the dear Lord, just to quieten our hearts, our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come.

Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Oh, fulfill that prayer in my life, if it's my life alone, but I want it, God. With all my heart, no matter what it costs, give me that grace to fulfill that desire of my heart for God's glory.

Thank thee for these three nights of being with these lovely people, their graciousness. Thank thee for the love offering. Lord, I don't know how to say thank you from my heart, but I know one day the only thanks they will really, really welcome will be when thou dost look at them in the face and thank them personally.

For I know it was unto thee they gave, and out of love for thee they gave, to such an unworthy man and his family. Bless each one for such a kindness. Though thou didst know, Lord, I did not come for that, that my reward over and over is just to have the right to be in such a pulpit to such a people.

But I do thank thee for their kindness and thine through them in thy faithfulness, Lord. Thank thee for thy holy word. Thank thee it is a light unto my feet, a lamp unto my feet, a light unto my path.

Thank thee, God, that although the letter killeth, the spirit gives life to this book, that faith cometh by hearing, hearing by the word of God. Sanctify them by thy truth. Thy word is truth. Being born again by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever, as newborn babes desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby.

Thy word have I hid within my heart, O God, that I might not sin against thee. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way by taking heed according to thy word. Thou dost honor thy word above all things.

O honor it tonight. Honor it tonight through this weak and base vessel by cleansing me in the blood of Christ, afresh from all failure and sin, and fill me now with the Holy Spirit. Cleanse the atmosphere of this building and surrounding area with the blood of Christ.

Rebuke the devil away in the name of Jesus Christ by the risen, resurrected power of Christ. Open our eyes, that we may behold wondrous things out of thy law. O God, for the entrance of thy word giveth light.

Give light, Lord, to all who sit in darkness through thy word, by thy Holy Spirit, and in grace to all of us visit our hearts tonight. For we ask it as thou dost look at the motive of our heart alone.

We dare to ask such things of our God, knowing he looks at the motive of our heart alone. As we ask these things in the name that is above every other name, the name at which every knee shall bow and confess, he is in the name of Jesus and Saviour.

Murder, Injustice, and the Final Judgment

There are many commandments in this book, but in the Ten Commandments, the basis of all the commandments, the last commandment of Exodus 20, in verse 13, reads, Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not kill.

Thou shalt not kill. There are many injustices. There are many injustices we all will have to face in life. But throughout the ages, the injustice of murder remains the greatest. Throughout the ages, the injustice of murder remains the greatest.

For a life to be taken is a great injustice indeed. Murder may sound horrifying to you, but when one of your family is murdered, then that injustice creates anger and torment and grief beyond comprehension.

I had a relative years ago who was a very beautiful girl. Her parents had great wealth and she was their darling. She really was a very dear person to everyone with the sweetest nature. But then she married someone who caused great grief to come to that family.

She had heard that I had been saved and had forsaken everything. To preach the gospel. I had not seen her for a few years because of the distance that separated our homes in our country. But she phoned me one day and asked me earnestly about salvation, about Christianity, heaven and hell and judgment.

She spoke to me for two hours on the phone from the other side of the country. But I had no idea that as she spoke, her life was in great danger in her own home. A few days later, she lay dead, murdered by her own husband, who was a very aggressive man.

That family went into such pain and torment and anguish and anger and hurt. There's no way of comprehending what a family faces when the darling of their heart has been murdered. The court case was a terrible thing for them to endure, but it ended with a great shock.

That man got off scot-free. He walked away out of that trial as though he had done nothing wrong in this world. His defense attorney had such a sharp brilliance. The things that he worded in that court case were mind-boggling as he created a circumstance of the whole and the fact that this man was under the influence of drink when he murdered her.

And because of that, in many countries, you can't be convicted. They tried to take away the home that they had given, paid off totally, one of the most beautiful homes in a wealthy area as a wedding present to that girl in her name from that man.

And he phoned them and he said to them, I'll kill your other daughter if you pursue this, and I'll get away with that too. Don't doubt it. And in fear, they withdrew. I stood with them. And then, a while after, this thing happened and I was stunned at how they had aged in months.

They had aged years, robbed of years of their life as they just were in torment daily at what had taken place and the injustice of that man walking away scot-free to this day, though he had done nothing, as if he had done nothing.

I looked at their torment and realized it's beyond comprehension what they're enduring. And tears just welled up in my eyes as I looked at their age, how they had aged, and the pain in their eyes. And as the tears flowed down my face, the tears began to flow down her face and the father's face, and she took hold of my arm and said, There's no justice left in this world.

There's no justice in this world. And I said, wait, wait. Another day of reckoning waits for him. He will stand soon before another judge. He must stand soon before God. In a moment, this moment called life.

That's all he's got. That's all he's got. That's all any of us have got. That's all life is, if you don't know it yet. It's coming on you in one moment. You suddenly realize we've got a moment, just a moment called life, and it's gone.

He will stand trial again. He will face trial again. And this time the judge will judge righteously. Judgment is mine, saith the Lord. Judgment is mine. Judgment is mine, saith the Lord. Revelation 20, verse 11,.

And I saw a great white throne, and Him that sat on it, from whose space the earth and the heaven fled away, and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead small, and great stand before God.

And the books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged that of those things which were written in the books according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them.

And they were judged. Every man according to their works. They were judged. Every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

And just for want of time, we leave chapter 21 and come to verse 8. But the fearful and unbelieving, the fearful and unbelieving, and murderers, and whoremongers, and idolaters, and sorcerers, and all liars, all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.

But wait now. We must remember that one of the men that hung on a cross to die alongside of Christ in judgment of his crimes, one of the men that hung on a cross beside Jesus was a murderer and a thief.

And he believed on the Lord Jesus Christ for mercy. And immediately his soul was saved. Immediately his soul was saved. Though he had shed a man's blood, his soul was immediately saved. His sin was immediately forgiven.

Though he was a murderer, God's blood, friend, was shed even for those who cause such pain to so many by having done such an evil as to have taken a life. You see, he tasted death for every man, not just your lies, adulteries, abominations.

He tasted death for every man, this holy book says. He had every man, knowing beginning from end. Though he did not make them sin, don't ever blame God for what man chose. He tasted death. Why, we were yet sinners.

Christ died for us, knowing his love was toward us. Why, we were yet sinners. I visited a man in a prison a few years ago in my home city in South Africa in the section of the prison that had men under observation for psychiatric surveillance pending the trial.

Men who had done terrible, terrible griefs and crime. But they were under observation for psychologists, psychiatrists to give evidence whether these men were competent mentally to stand trial for the crime they'd committed.

And his mother and father had contacted me from the other side of the country and implored me to visit their son and to speak to him about God and mercy and salvation. They had seen some videos or tapes, I don't know what they had heard of my ministry.

Their son had killed, had murdered his wife and his children. I went to that place. Eventually they let me see him, not alone. I was not able to come near him. He sat to the other side of a large table and four policemen watching every movement he made, every word we uttered, listening.

I told him that his father and mother had phoned me, had asked me to come to speak to him about God and God's mercy through Christ's blood being shed for all men. And he crumbled as he heard his father and mother had sent me.

He just crumbled. He looked at me after a while and leaned across the table. Tears streaming down his face, he said, Sir, do you honestly believe that God could forgive me for my sin? Do you honestly believe that God will ever be able to forgive someone like me after what I've done?

You see, he had a moment of rage through jealousy of what he had believed was unfaithfulness on her part. Just lost control. All jealousy can drive a man to things you cannot believe a man could do. Even he can't believe in the end he's done it.

Do you honestly believe God could forgive me, someone like me, after what I've done? You know, I looked up at the policemen. They all turned and looked straight at me. One, tears began to fall down his face as he looked at me and looked at this man's torment after what this man had done.

For a policeman to cry. He looked at me and all looked at me. I knew God had not sent me for this man alone. In that moment, every eye fixed on me waiting for an answer. I answered, yes. Man may never be able to forgive you for the injustice you've done and the pain you've caused him.

You may have to face man's judgment on this earth, but if you repent and confess and seek God for mercy through the shed blood of Christ being justified freely by grace through faith in His blood. If you seek God for justification by grace through faith in the blood of Christ who tasted death for every man including you.

If you seek God to justify you with all your heart, He will in no wise turn away anyone who comes to Him through Christ Jesus. How could He? How could He when His Son tasted death for every man? You will face no judgment from God in eternity.

You will face no judgment. There remaineth therefore no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus. We know we've passed from death unto life. We know the Spirit bears witness with our spirits. We're the children of God.

We know he that believeth on the Son of God hath a witness in himself. He that believeth not, God hath made him a liar because he believeth not the record that God gave of His Son. And this is the record that God hath given to us eternal life.

And this life is in His Son. He that hath the Son hath life and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe in the name of the Son of God that ye may know that ye have eternal life.

If you don't know that you have eternal life, you don't have eternal life. Do you honestly believe, sir, that God would torment you one second longer than the torment you've known of fear of judgment and death once you have been saved?

Do you honestly believe the Spirit of God will not bear witness with your spirit that you're the children of God? You're saved. You're mine. We know we've passed from death unto life. And that's wonderful to know.

If God was so just as to die for you, do you honestly think He'll torment you and not let you know that you will have peace that passes all understanding? You will know you will face no judgment and you will face death with no fear of judgment.

Do the witness of the Spirit if you obey God now and seek Him for mercy, for justification, that He might be just and the justifier of all men who seek God through Him. He tastes the death for every man.

I love these verses of God. He's the propitiation for our sins as Christians, not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. God now commanded all men everywhere to repent. Repent ye therefore and be ye converted that your sins may be blotted out.

Turn ye, turn ye from your evil way for why will you die? Can you imagine God asking man that? Ask and it shall be given you. Seek and ye shall find. Knock and it shall be opened for everyone that asketh receiveth and he that seeketh findeth and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

He will in no wise turn away anyone who comes to Him through Christ Jesus for He tasted death for every man. No sir, you will be forgiven. You will be forgiven as freely as I was forgiven by grace through faith in the shed blood of Christ.

Don't doubt that. Don't doubt that. Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.

The wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. What more can God say to you to come? There isn't another thing God could do in eternity other than what He's done to make you come even if you're a murderer.

Though men judge you though you pay for your crime this side of heaven He will not turn you away sir. When I was a boy I had a friend who was kicked to death in the most gruesome way by violent teenagers who called themselves Duck Tales those days.

Oh, you don't want to know about those days. They seemed to go in gangs. They were so cowardice. Such cowardice. Never alone in a fight. Always with a gang, you know. Always where one normally or two that they knew.

They were such cowardice and then they acted so strong you know and brave. It was quite an element to put themselves into that category and walked around with these little things just to prove a point that they were rebels of society.

And they did create hurt and anguish and sorrows for so many in the unsaved world. Especially their parents. These boys gate crashed a party. Those days you were still regarded as sane for going to a party in the world.

These days you may as well sign your death warrant if you go to such places in the world. Things are so bad and life is so... has no value to people. They'll take it for anything. But those days it was still a shock.

Because a lot of people who went were naive in many ways though they were unsaved. And there in that party those boys tried to gate crash to get in where they weren't invited and of course people tried to stop them.

The parents, etc. in a lot of chaos. This young friend of mine he walked out. Just because he walked out in oblivion to what's going on. They took this boy and they just kicked him in the street and kicked him and kicked him until blood just flowed like a pool from his body and they carried on kicking.

Oh, when you want blood when you taste it nothing stops you. If you allow sin to take hold of you you don't know where you end. You look back you won't know how you did it. But if you play the fool with the devil he'll do anything with you.

Don't touch sin. Get away from it. Be careful young man. You're flirting with the devil. You will not believe what you're capable of doing when he takes you at your word and your will. And then with the blood flowing this one eldest boy old enough to go to prison come to what we call a knuckle duster those days and he just took it probably the boy was dead by then but he just plunged it right into his skull to make sure when you taste blood you don't think of the consequence of your blood thirsty.

The devil can do anything to you anything when you're that far. The trial came the court case and these boys stood but especially this one the eldest coming from a home of wealth they had the best defense attorney in the country who simply wiped the floor of the other defense and arguments his sharpness that boy that young man walked out of that door free no punishment no correction home no in the eyes of judgment he had done can you believe what the state of the world he's free to this day he walks free in my land that shocked everyone those days that was a shock to the whole of our society that the law could let a man walk away like that.

Forgiveness, Repentance, and Divine Mercy

40 years later 40 years later I sat with his mother I didn't know it was his mother she had come to visit my mother in the place they live. She came for tea in my mother's little cottage and I came to the home of my mother whenever I'm in that area I go to see her for a few days and I was sitting there and this lady was talking and she of course within moments I knew wasn't saved.

So I tried very wisely to steer the conversation to being able to preach while I'm conversing and I began to see this woman's anger getting more and more. So I thought I'll slow down and she said you say your God will forgive every sin no matter what a man has done no matter what we've done.

I mentioned the unpardonable sin the blasphemy of the Holy Ghost that which is against calling that power which with through Christ when he performed minor skills of the devil that that power. Well the Pharisees committed that unpardonable sin.

I've never met another person in the life that said the power that worked through Christ to perform such miracles was Satan. That was the only sin when you call the power that worked through Christ himself the devil that's unforgivable the Pharisees.

But I said to her listen every sin every sinner he tasted death for every man. And she became so angry. She stood up and she burst into tears. She said will he forgive my son's murderer. Sir. His murderer walked out free as if he had done nothing.

No punishment no judgment. You're telling me your God is also going to say you're free. No judgment. You did no wrong. I'm angry with God sir. I'll be more angry with your God than ever before. For every day of my life I have anger.

I have torment. I have pain. Oh take someone's life. And you don't know what you do to the mother sir. Take someone's life. You don't know what pain you cause not just past the life. You don't know what men go to the day they die in anguish and torment.

And what you've done. It's such an injustice. Go and look at a mother forty years after look at her eyes and see how within seconds she's broke to tears. Forty years later there's no healing. I said listen carefully lady if he doesn't seek God desperately crying out for mercy for his soul through the shed blood of Christ in repentance of all known sin in his life and turn to God in such desperation for God to save his soul from the hell that he's fearful of going to.

If he doesn't seek God before he dies he will face such a death that you within one minute of watching him in that place will cry out to God to please get him out. I guarantee you there's nothing nothing that man could perceive such a terrible terrible torment where the smoke of their torment ascendeth up forever and ever.

They have no peace they unite. He will return in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord from the glory of his power.

Lady listen. I guarantee you if you saw your son's murderer for one minute where he's going. If he doesn't repent you will beg God for mercy for your son's murderer. I guarantee you he's going to such judgment.

I said what was your son's name. And she told me the name. And I said I knew your son. He was my friend. I wept also. We cycled together as boys. He came to my home. I didn't know you were his mother after all these years.

You knew my boy. She sat down. You knew my boy. I said listen lady if God forgives you of every sin you've ever committed in one moment so that you face no judgment for all eternity. No matter what you've done that you won't name to me.

No matter what thought you've ever thought that's evil. No matter what word you've ever uttered every single injustice you've ever done in life anything even in life. If God says he'll forgive you your sin.

God also has the right to say to any other sinner he's the one who died not you. It's his right to want to show mercy for all your sins in one moment that you will face no judgment. And he will also forgive your son's murderer.

For he tasted death for every man and I cannot blame you. And God cannot expect you to forgive that man. Now you're unsaved. You haven't tasted forgiveness. But I know in my heart that if you experience and embrace God's salvation and find his peace in your heart the knowledge of sins forgiven.

I know that God in you will give you the grace to forgive your son's murderer. That he will give you the grace to forgive once you're saved. Once you've tasted forgiveness of sins I know that you'll find the grace to want your son's murderer to be forgiven by God too but not before.

I can't expect it of you. God can't expect it of you. But you will forgive. You'll find an amazing grace to forgive. And all the torment will end that you're going through. All the anger will go when you're saved.

Not the hurt but the anger and the wanting of vengeance. Vengeance is mine saith the Lord. But God forgives any man who comes while he may seek ye the Lord while he may be found no matter who you are call ye upon him while he is near.

Let the wicked forsake his way. And the unrighteous man is thought and let him return unto the Lord and he will have mercy upon him to our God for he will abundantly pardon. There's no such a thing as no compassion in the heart of God to anyone on this earth.

Even your son's murderer. Even your son's murderer. There is another great injustice. There is another great injustice when it comes to judgment being proclaimed on murderers. Men who faced the electric chair.

Men who were hung. And then further evidence came to light after that they had been put to death for a crime they had not committed. There have been many cases in my and your lifetime sir across the world of men who were judged for a crime they did not commit.

It was found out after they had been put to death for that crime. After they were judged they found out that these men were innocent in our lifetime. So many times it's staggering that so many have been judged for a crime they had not committed.

Oh what horror it must be for a man to be treated like a murderer and face death for a crime he had not committed. That must be an injustice to know I didn't do it. But to die for what another man did is a great injustice.

I know of a man who was judged for many things he didn't do. He was punished and suffered the judgment of other people's crimes. He faced the death penalty for murders he had not committed for rapes he had never performed for thefts he had not committed for lies he had never told.

For many great evils he had never done. He died. The Bible says the just for the unjust. But he was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement of our peace was upon him with his stripes we are healed.

All we like sheep have gone astray. We have turned every one to his own way. And the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. I don't know how God did that. I know men have faced worse physical death than Christ.

The Bible even tells us men were taken alive laid down living and sawn in half sawn asunder just ripped apart. Men have been taken in the church history alive their limbs literally ripped from their bodies one limb after the other for their faith.

Oh I know men have faced worse physical death than Christ. But listen carefully I don't know how God did this. But no man ever suffered the sufferings of Christ. Because don't doubt the judgment of eternity that you would have faced not just the thought of judgment but the actual punishment to its last hate was paid fully not for you only but for every man.

Somehow God plunged every one of our sins upon Christ was suddenly plunged. I don't know what he went through but no man knew such torment. No man went. Do you wonder why he. Why heaven darkened. Do you wonder that he would cry my God my God why hast thou forsaken me.

The swell of humanity's sin was so great as it came down upon Christ that God forsook his son. He forsook him that his son as he contemplated what he was going to have to go it was so horrific of what he was going to face that it was like sweat drops was pouring from his face.

Do you know what Christ. There's no way of your knowing how much God loved you unless you look at the cross on your knees and ponder it and ponder it and ponder it. Oh beloved. No one died like Christ.

No one suffered like Christ for Christ tasted death not physical death. Sir God's talking about the second death the eternal death that never ends. He fully paid every single soul that he fully can justify us freely.

For as much as you know that you were not redeemed with corruptible things as silver and gold from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers but with the precious blood of Christ as of a lamb without blemish without spot who rarely was foreordained before the foundation of the world but was manifest in these last times.
