point. If you're not a Christian 
here tonight, look at what God has done to save people from 
their sins. I know there's a bit of difference 
of opinion in our particular city in terms of, is God willing 
to save a lot of sinners? Well, the Bible says so, and 
not only Revelation 7. When you get to Revelation 7, 
there's a great multitude that no man can number from every 
tribe, tongue, people, and nation. I don't know how you avoid the 
obvious. Obviously, God is in the business of saving a lot 
of people. But it's not only those specific 
texts that tell us he's going to save a lot of people, but 
it's passages like these. He has designed a particular 
class of men, a particular office to continue in the church. The 
apostles ceased. The prophets ceased, the evangelists 
again, it's a bit of a tough one, but pastors, teachers remain 
until Jesus comes again in glory to judge the living and the dead. 
What's one of the purposes for these men? It's to preach the 
gospel to sinners. It's to call sinners to faith 
and repentance. It's to promise the blessedness of our Lord Jesus 
Christ to all who come by grace through faith in him. And that 
ought to be another encouragement for anyone here to look unto 
the Lord Jesus Christ in faith because he's about the salvation.
