The roadmap to the Lamb of God
February 7, 2025
Are you uncertain today, not knowing where to turn? You need a Savior. He came 1900 years ago. And God now has communicated with man. He hasn’t told us very much. But He’s told us enough. “Though a man be a fool and a wayfaring man, he needn’t error,” because this is a roadmap bringing you to “the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world.” And He can take away your sin. And all He asks you to do is to trust Him. All He asks you to do is to receive Him. He wants to be your Savior. He loves you. He only asks you to turn to Him today.

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.

When you grow in grace and in the knowledge of Him, there will come a day when you’ll be able to lay hold of a living Savior at God’s right hand. Andrew Murray, years ago, wrote, “The knowledge of Christ Jesus that we need for conversion does not suffice for growth, for progress, for sanctification, for maturity.” We have to lay hold to the living Christ if we’re to grow today. And the only way we can grow is through the Word of God. This is God’s food. He has no other formula. It’s a simple formula, but it’s all important. There must be the Word of God.

We need to come very close to Him in these days and bring reality into our faith. God does discipline His children. And if you don’t want it to hurt, the thing to do is to get close to Him. It won’t hurt nearly as badly. You remember He says that He was the vine, we’re the branches, and that the Father was going to prune the branches. And that hurts, you know, to be trimmed off like that. But the Father is never so close to the vine and the branches as when He’s trimming them. That’s wonderful. May I say, we need to get close to Him.

How do you respond, friends, when suffering comes? Do you rebel against Him? Do you ever take an inventory of your life when trouble comes? Do you turn your stumbling blocks into steppingstones? Why did God let this happen to me? That’s a good question, but I want to tell you there’s a better answer to it. There’s a goal to be attained, a race to be won, a battle to be fought, and there’s a benefit here and now. And I believe that the most important thing for us to do today is to “draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to us….” We need to get close to Him.

Thank God, David came to the place where he saw what an awful, foul sinner he was, and then he cried out to God for a new heart. The Lord Jesus said, “Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God.” Do you think you’ll ever see God? If it depended upon my heart, I’m very frank with you, I’ll give up; I’ll never see Him. But I am thankful this morning for the One who can give you a new heart. My Beloved, He shed His blood that you might have a new heart. His heart was broken that He might have a remedy today for your heart.

You know, separation today, the emphasis has been on “from”—we’re separated from something. I don’t do this; I don’t do that. Separation is not “from,” it’s “unto.” We’re to go to Jesus. And the Hebrews are told here that we’re “to go without the camp bearing His reproach.” These people hated to leave the temple and religion, and there are a lot of Christians today that are so wrapped up in churchianity and think because they’re members of a church they’re saved. And a great many folk today need to get away from ritual, need to get away from religion, and come to Christ, friends. Come to Him. And that’s real separation. And by the way, it’s real salvation.

Jesus was a man. And He’s the same today, but He’s God. He could weep at a tomb because He’s human, but He could say to Lazarus, “Come forth.” And may that same One today meet you in your need. He can sympathize with you. He can weep with you. He can laugh with you. Or He can save your soul. I wish that I could present Him like He really was when He came to this earth. How wonderful He was. And your sorrow is His sorrow, and your joy is His joy today. And He’s going to be the same in the future…the same yesterday, today, and forever. He’s never going to change.

Jesus Christ, He’s up yonder at God’s right hand today. He still wants little children to come to Him. He still has His arms out for them. And sinners can still come to Him, and He can still say, even to the one that’s gone to the very depths, “Go, and sin no more. I can free you.” And if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. You can come to Him. A great many people feel gingerly going sometimes into church or into meetings. You know, if Jesus was there in that meeting, I think you’d hear His laughter, and I think you’d fall in love with Him as a person, as a man.

“Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.” Now you and I are moving toward a heavenly kingdom, and as we move toward a heavenly kingdom, why, we need to recognize that we down here should serve God. But how are we to serve Him? Well, we’re to serve Him acceptably. Yes, but how can we serve Him acceptably? With reverence and godly fear. My friend, Christianity is not playing church.. It’s a living, vital, real relationship to Jesus Christ that affects your life.

“For he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” Isn’t that wonderful to have Him say that to you? And I don’t care who you are or what you do, this is the response of faith to the Word of God here. And it brings you to the place that you know that He’s never going to leave you nor forsake you. Isn’t that wonderful? I have a notion that I’ve got friends today that would forsake me. I may have relatives that would forsake me. But, you know, the Lord Jesus, He’s never going to forsake me. It’s wonderful to have Him on your side, and I hope you have Him on your side.

“Let brotherly love continue.” It doesn’t mean, friends, that believers are to love like brothers. They are to love because they are brothers. Now if you’re a child of God, you’re my brother. You’re my sister. And we’re in the same family. Maybe you don’t want to be in my family, but you’re in my family. And we love each other. May I say to you this is something that’s real. The Christian life can be put like a triangle. At the top, you can put God. At one side, you can put yourself. On the other you can put “others.” And it is “faith and love” toward God, and it’s “love” toward others. That’s the way we manifest it. “Let brother love continue.”

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.
