The man in the glory
April 18, 2025
My beloved, the resurrection of Jesus Christ is an act that has transformed the lives of millions of people. It’s been articulated into modern life today, and it is something that can be meshed into our daily lives. It can walk the streets in shoe leather. It can be geared to our deepest needs, for He finds us where we are today. And this is what He does because He’s different. He’s the man in the glory today, and this man in the glory today communicates life to dead sinners down here. And my beloved, that’s where He finds all of us.

Galatians Bible Companion
Get ready to fight the good fight against legalism in Galatians. When this letter was written, it defended the gospel of Christ from people who wanted to reduce it to rules. Not surprising, Galatians has provided the backbone for several great spiritual revivals around the world. Freedom, we learn, is a serious fight. Allow grace to revolutionize your own life through these seven lessons from Dr. J. Vernon McGee.

“Go ye into all the world, and preach this gospel ….” Go into all the world and sow the seed. And my business is just sowing seed. It’s the Lord’s business to do the converting. And we believe that the Spirit of God will take the Word of God and make a son of God when a man of God will use it. And that’s all we’re doing is just sowing seed. We’re not harvesting. And a harvest speaks of judgment; speaks of an end of an age. Our business today is sowing seed. And very candidly, I wish I could get us all back doing the thing God’s called us to do today. And the church is to sow seed, which is the Word of God, in the world today.

I think that a man should be very sure that he has a call from God, if he’s going to be in the ministry. If there’s any doubt in his mind, he ought not to go in the ministry. I’ve heard it put like this: that if you can do anything else, why, don’t go in the ministry. Well, I don’t like it quite like that because a great many of us could have done something else, by the way. And might have preferred doing it. The important thing is: Did God call you? And if God has called you, then may I say that we ought not to let anything stand in the way.

“For, lo, he that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth unto man what is his thought, who maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth, the Lord, the God of hosts, is his name.” This is one of the most majestic, one of the most awe-inspiring statements that you’ll find anywhere. He is the Creator; He is the Omnipotent God. He has all power. He is Omniscient. He knows your thought afar off. And you cannot escape Him. He knows you today, and He knows all about you.

Suppose that in the next few minutes you were to be in God’s presence. What about it, friends? This life is past. You maybe lived to please people, tried to keep up with the Joneses. But that’s ended now, you’re in His presence. How are you going to stand before Him? Don’t you know that you can’t stand in your own strength, your own life, your own character? You and I haven’t anything to offer to Him at all. We stand before Him because He was delivered for our offences. He paid the penalty. Now we stand before Him in the righteousness of Christ. And that, my friend, is the only basis that we can stand before Him.

I believe that, very frankly, you and I today are more responsible to God than the people that are denied Bibles, that are not hearing the Word of God at all. We are more responsible than they are. Have you ever stopped to think the tremendous responsibility that you and I have today? The privilege, we say, of having the Word of God—and we thank God for that—and we boast of the fact that we have the Bible and all of that. Yes, but my friend, what are you doing about it? That’s the important thing today. Are you doing anything about helping get out the Word of God today?

Oh, my friend today, regardless of the position of the body, we need to pray today. And regardless of the position of the body, our hearts and lives should be on their knees before Him. In fact, we should be down on our faces before Him. Salvation today is determined by this posture of the soul. The epistle to the Romans that presents justification by faith and says that no sinner can even wiggle a finger and contribute to his salvation—that it’s all of God, that He does it all. But when you’re willing to come and there receive what He has to offer, God can and will save you.

I’ve learned that that’s a wonderful lesson as far as God’s concerned. If you start running away from Him and get on the end of the switch, it's going to hurt. When God starts disciplining you or letting you suffer, start moving toward Him and it won’t hurt. When the children of Israel were going through the wilderness, they came to the bitter waters, but they put in those waters a tree, and it made them sweet. That tree is the cross. You can trust this wonderful Savior. He says: “Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden; I will rest you.” Do you know what it is to bring your burdens, your sorrows, and your sufferings to Him?

You and I are dealing with a Savior and with a God that will never throw you overboard. Have you ever noticed those that have been His that He’s never thrown overboard? He never threw Jacob overboard. He should have, but He didn’t. And Jonah? May I say to you tonight, friends, He’ll not throw you overboard. He didn’t throw Simon Peter, the man who denied Him—the man who three times in one night and one time with an oath said, “I don’t even know Him.” The Lord said, “I pray that your faith fail not.” He’ll never throw you overboard.

“Wherefore, beloved, seeing that we look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.” In other words, we’re to live a holy life down here. That means a life separated unto God. And, friends, after all, what is really worthwhile in this earth today? What are your goals? Are you a productive Christian today, moving to a worthwhile goal? Well, somebody says, “I’m going to raise my family.” That’s worthwhile. Somebody says, “I want to make a good living for my family and educate my children.” That’s worthwhile. These things are worthwhile. But really, what is the object of your life? Is it to live for God? And if you live for God today, all of these secondary issues, I believe, will take care of themselves.

Now, you know you can’t keep God from loving you. You can’t keep God from loving you, but you can put up an umbrella of indifference, an umbrella of sin, an umbrella of rebellion, and you won’t experience it, but He loves you. May I say to you, friends, you can turn your back on him. You can blaspheme Him. You can treat Him anyway, but you cannot keep Him from wanting to save you. You can’t keep Him from loving you. For He provided a Savior; gave His Son to die, and Jesus today wants to save you. He wants to. And He will save you if you’ll turn to Him and receive the salvation that He offers in Jesus Christ.

About Dr. J. Vernon McGee
John Vernon McGee was born in Hillsboro, Texas, in 1904. Dr. McGee remarked, "When I was born and the doctor gave me the customary whack, my mother said that I let out a yell that could be heard on all four borders of Texas!" His Creator well knew that he would need a powerful voice to deliver a powerful message.
After completing his education (including a Th.M. and Th.D. from Dallas Theological Seminary), he and his wife came west, settling in Pasadena, California. Dr. McGee's greatest pastorate was at the historic Church of the Open Door in downtown Los Angeles, where he served from 1949 to 1970.
He began teaching Thru the Bible in 1967. After retiring from the pastorate, he set up radio headquarters in Pasadena, and the radio ministry expanded rapidly. Listeners never seem to tire of Dr. McGee's unique brand of rubber-meets-the-road teaching, or his passion for teaching the whole Word of God.
On the morning of December 1, 1988, Dr. McGee fell asleep in his chair and quietly passed into the presence of his Savior.
