If you were to die today, and find yourself at the gates of heaven, what would you say?
It is always good, among all good and deep theology we study, to remind ourselves why is it that we can go to heaven. The simplicity of the Gospel is so beautifully stated by Alistair Begg.

Yes the entire sermon is amazing as it points to One on the Cross.
"O soul are you weary and troubled
No light in the darkness you see
There's light for a look at the Savior
And life more abundant and free
Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in his wonderful face
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of his glory and grace
His word shall not fail you he promised
Believe him and all will be well
Then go to a world that is dying
His perfect salvation to tell."
i don’t understand it. i’m a 24 year old dude, and this clip brings me to tears every time i watch it. so thankful for this word
Well young man… I’m 47 years old and this clip also brings me to tears every time I watch it.
Praise the Lord!
I’m 57 and the same thing happens to me. My tears come from knowing just how unworthy I am and what a grand and magnanimous sacrifice Christ’s atoning death is.
Count me in too. I’m a 56 year old and it gets me every time. Because deep down I know the thief on the cross is me. And I don’t deserve it. And yet he said I could come…
I’m the same age of you, about to be 25. And I feel the same way
Me too exactly...thank you
That should be on a T shirt ……the man on the middle cross says I can come in …..Praise be His Holy Name 🙏🏻
I'd get like 10 of them. Wear em all the time
Amen🙌🏻
Sombody make it happen!
@@7743401 Yes! Please! I would love to have that T-shirt or something to frame on the wall.
Amen 🙌
The more I listen to the Gospel, the more sweet it is. It doesn’t get boring. It gets sweeter.
"I love to tell the story, for those who know it best seem hungering and thirsting to hear it like the rest."
Jesus is Lord
Jesus Saves !
Amen
@@WorthlessDeadEnd amen!
How proud full of me to think I had anything to do with my salvation. Lord forgive me of my sin of pride and arrogance. Cleanse me from within. ❤️
Yes 🔊 lord jesus, glory to his name.
Amen to that
I answered that question with
I believed….
Made me cry
All glory to King Jesus!
I have started going back and listening to the short clip. Almost everyday and realize it is not what I have done for Christ, but what He has done for me…
Amen.
You know I hear Christians talk a lot about how they serve Christ. But it isn't the sheep that bring food to the shepherd to eat, Nor do they bring him water to drink nor protect him from dangers whether it be predators or just the elements of nature. It is the shepherd who provides the sheep food and water for nutrition and security and protection from all kinds of dangers. So the question is who serves who?
Yes
Best 4 minutes I’ve ever heard!! Praise God! Hallelujah!!
I cannot watch this without crying. And it should be on a tee shirt,Amen. Praise him everyday. The Man on the middle cross said I can come. Yes he did. Praise God!!
THERE AREN'T ENOUGH WORDS ... THERE AREN'T ENOUGH EMOJIES, THERE AREN'T ENOUGH TEARS TO EXPRESS MY JOY AND GRATITUDE FOR THE TRUTH OF THIS MESSAGE!!!!!!!
That. Right there. The Man on the cross said I could come.
I have no other argument
I have no other plea
It is enough that Jesus died
And that He died for me.
Amen Hallelujah!
Amen what a wonderful poem
So simple, so loving, told with humour and I’m blubbering. Thank you so much sweet Jesus for saving this wretched sinner. I love you so much.
Yes! The Man on the middle cross said I could come!
Praise God for making a way for a horrible, lying, stealing, blasphemous sinner, like me!
I once was lost, BUT NOW I'M FOUND!
That's my favorite song. I was saved at 43yr old. Praise God. I thought I was saved all my life, but I lived and looked like the world. So I know I was lost. And I know I am found.
Jesus never referred to anyone as a sinner.He used the word lost.If something is lost it means it has value. Live knowing you are loved.All your sins where nailed to the cross.
@@clyde5491 THAT IS AN AWESOME STATEMENT YOU MADE MY BROTHER!!!!!!!!!
Amen
Clyde is heading in the right direction. If we could eradicate the word Sinner from the vocabulary of believers we would do such a great service to undue the weight of religiosity that has been thrust upon believers. The old you died with Christ. You are a new creature not identified by what you do but by birthright. You are no longer in the line of Adam but reborn into the line of Christ. Oh that the church would learn to walk in this truth. There is now NO condemnation for those IN Christ Jesus. His yoke is easy, His burden is light, come unto Him and allow Him to rest you.
My nieghbor showed me this video and I have been changed ever since can’t stop watching this it makes me excited to see what God is going to do with my life.
🙏
@kevinklein169
God bless you Kevin!
As a young 10 year old boy watching the crucifixion of Christ in a movie back in the 1960's I remember so clearly the voice of Christ in my heart saying, "I did this for you!" Ever since then I have continually come back to the Cross where my salvation was hammered out by my Redeemer.
You said the exact word friend, my salvation was hammered out by the Roman soldiers in flesh and blood on the cross. Thank god the Lord included me...
Or you imagined it.
@mortgoldbergtalent9810 someday you will get the answer.
@@ajikoshy89 I grew up in the Pentecostal church. Jesus was talking to everyone. Jesus told Oral Roberts that he would kill him if he didn't raise $10 million to build something or other. Google it. Point being, people "hearing" Jesus have an active imagination.
@@MortGoldbergTalentthe crucifixion of Christ is a historical fact. There is no doubt about that. Now, the nuance is there for us to find. Jesus loves you. More than you’ll ever know.
I love this. “The guy on the middle cross said I could come.” Praise His name!
The combination of a sense of humor to illustrate TRUTH that the man on the middle cross said I could come both illustrated truth and brought tears to my eyes. God grant me daily insight to look to the risen Savior
@MIDNIGHT CRY TV that guy you are telling us about is a false prophet. A hateful man who thinks he is a true messenger but he is a radical man who hates people. May God rebuke that man, and you as well. Repent and believe in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Amen!
Me too.
😢 the more I think about God’s grace the more tears running down on my cheeks. The Man on the middle cross sends me to the House of Father my God.
I responded the same way.
❤
Lord, forgive me, for I am a sinner. I have tried to follow you, Lord, but I am weak and a failure. I'm so sorry, Lord.
We are all sinners and failures when it comes to Christ.
Praise God that He is the one who keeps us, we cannot do it in our own power. Its only by God's Grace.
Read your Bible daily.
"For I have not come to call the righteous, but the SINNER!"
~Matthew 9:12
@@timg2088 There must be an acceptance of personal guilt and acceptance of fault. Hence repentance.
I have watched the entire sermon again and again. but it never gets old
Best explanation of Christs love and grace,
Amen! 'We are saved as a result of what Christ achieved.' God thank you for Jesus !
I can’t stop crying right now
Ikr
Same here.
I hope it is tears of joy
Mee too, and I'm in the subway...
Me too!
The finest teaching on my salvation that I’ve ever heard.
I pray for those who are not saved. We need a serious revival. We desperately need Jesus
Let’s pray.
Because of Him and only Him. Thank You for saving a wretch like me.
Glory be to God, Pastor Begg was instrumental in me coming to Christ. As I watched this video clip, and heard this message again, my eyes were directed to some sitting in the background with expressions that seemed murderous. God bless this man and protect him from wolves that surround him.
My Lord and Savior, thank you!
Thank you Jesus for taking my place! Because of you and your love for us, we are redeemed! Grace upon grace, mercy upon mercy.
Can’t stop my tears when he said that🥹🥹😭😭😭..Thank you Jesus..God Bless you and your Ministry,Pastor.
Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
i’ve been a Christian my whole life, but it’s taken me until now to understand this. the words “because i believe” have actually fallen off of my lips. it is NOT because I believe. that would imply i deserve to be there and i absolutely do not deserve to be there. it is because the Man on the middle cross said i could come.
Amen. How clear that is. The Grace of God that has mercy on my wretched self.
i just wish the 3 men behind him were enjoying it. I love This Praise God
JESUS Christ Loves us unconditionally 🙏🏻⛪️😇🥹
My favorite Alistair Begg highlight reel.
Amen again, this needs to be played in many church’s
He had them so lovingly right in the palm of his hand, guiding them to the truth, the love of Christ for the lost. This is why I listen intently to Begg.
Amen brother. Simple faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shall be saved
Hallelujah!!! I needed to hear this .
This message gave me joy in my heart and all doubt faded. Thank you Jesus.
Amen. Wonderfully clear. This is the message the world needs.
Thank you God for your son who died so that I can live🙌🙌🙌
I love how he quotes “before the throne of God above” that’s my favorite line in any song ever made!
Glorious words! Compare that to 90% of what is considered modern worship music today..
Yes, a wonderful hymn by Charitie Bancroft
Before the Throne of God Above
1
Before the throne of God above
I have a strong, a perfect plea;
A great High Priest, whose Name is Love,
Who ever lives and pleads for me.
2
My name is graven on His hands,
My name is written on His heart;
I know that while with God He stands
No tongue can bid me thence depart.
3
When satan tempts me to despair,
And tells me of the guilt within,
Upward I look, and see Him there
Who made an end of all my sin.
4
Because the sinless Saviour died,
My sinful soul is counted free;
For God, the Just, is satisfied
To look on Him and pardon me.
5
Behold Him there, the risen Lamb!
My perfect, spotless Righteousness,
The great unchangeable I AM,
The King of glory and of grace.
6
One with Himself, I cannot die;
My soul is purchased by His blood;
My life is hid with Christ on high,
With Christ, my Saviour and my God.
Hence once saved always saved by the blood of Jesus who died for our sins, buried, and rose from the dead. Not of ourselves or our works, but by grace through faith we are saved, the gift of God! Thank you for saving us God for we are wretched!
_"For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus."_
*Philippians 1:6*
Love to listen to Alistair! He always has great gospel news!
Tears, everytime... everytime 🙏
Can you imagine how many one day will be Thankful God doesn't hold a Grudge! He has sure been good to me!
That is GREAT because it is the TRUTH of the GOSPEL. Because he LIVES!!!!
What an amazing message!
Also, that guys eyes right over Alistair's shoulder was freaking me out the whole time
This dude is preaching the pure gospel (and being funny as he does it), and all these dudes behind him can do is sit there stone-faced. Lighten up. Find joy in the Lord.
Lol I get what you mean. Then again we never know what's going on inside. But glad to know I wasn't the only one thinking that. God bless brother.
@@1john4six if we are to only read from the King James bible Does that disclude the original Greek and Hebrew texts? also I noticed you did not at all address his actual theology in any meaningful way. The Bible is far more than one translation, especially if it is not the original.
@@1john4six I have one question for you, what language was the bible written in?
@@1john4six I noticed that you did not answer my question, but that's fine, could you explain to me why you believe what you believe?
@@1john4six also if you do believe that I am going to go to hell then why do you seem to have little interest in showing me the way to salvation? Are not Christians to mirror the grace and mercy of Christ to a dying world?
This is one of the greatest videos on TH-cam!
Beautiful ❤
A powerful message on the cross..
I never really understood when they tried to teach me about religion....... now I do..... Thank you Jesus
I cannot listen to this fully without tears coming down my eyes… HE, the MAN on the middle cross said, “I CAN COME!”
❤️❤️
The Lord does have a sense of humor. 😊
How I love my Father for brothers and elders such Alister. Bless God for His Gospel to sinners!!
Message of the Cross is very moving and indeed powerful.!!
Im 51 and have never heard anything half as promising as this .
So simple, so profound, so deeply humbling....
My husband and Mom, now with the Lord, were both devout Catholics, but when I asked them what they would answer when they get to the pearly gates and God asks them why should He let them into heaven, they didn't know. I told them, "You say, 'Because Your Son died for me, and He forgives me all my sins, and He will welcome me with open arms,'" and made them repeat it.
What about you? Are you a devout catholic?
@@samuelrosenbalm I used to be, but now am born again.
His love foe me..is the greatest gift ever..He died for me..the sinner I was..but because He loved me..and invited me to follow him..thank you Jesus..we will be always together. Amen.
This brought tears to my eyes.
The Lord Jesus Christ did it.
Preach, pastor.
Jesus is Lord
Jesus Saves
BY HIS SPIRIT ZECH 4:6
"the man in the middle cross said i could come..." amen!
His workmanship are we, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, having been saved by grace through faith. His amazing grace precedes our God given faith that results in salvation.
Thank you 🙏
Christ is my only hope. Apart from Him, I am nothing, have nothing, mean nothing. Thank You Lord for what You have done for me. 🙌🙏
The change of mind…he understood he was there “guilty” but the man in the middle (JESUS) he was there innocent. He was saved because he believed that Jesus was able!
Believe on Jesus Christ and you will be saved.
Excellent, thanks for posting this!
How come this short clip has unlikes???
It's a short message full of the message of the blessed hope
And amen to what you have said brother
Pride.
I guess the devil and a handful of imps were forced to watch it...
They believe that Christ will save man by grace. But they believe that it is after all that man can do. So there is salvation by grace, but works are still an important aspect of life. The idea that I can just tell "Jesus to take the wheel" whenever, without having made any effort at all on my own to solve my problem denies my own divinity. Because truly Christ was the Son of God, but he also gave men the power to do the same.
It may be Church of Christ legalists that can’t stand the fact that the thief on the cross was not baptized. All things are possible WITH GOD, only believe.
@@ToddHowes yes He giveth us the power to make the fruits of genuine repentance and of worcks according with the faith that had been given to us
The man on the Middle cross is what the Christian faith is all about.
Ameen
Thank you
AWESOME !
Classic Alistair Begg! I love this and his exhortation to tell us ourselves the gospel every day. у креста хочу Стоять JESUS KEEP ME NEAR THE CROSS
Thankyou Jesus for letting us come to you!
The thief was repentant, and trusted in Jesus Christ. Because he chose this, he was saved by God.
Brilliant the gospel in a few minutes and spot on!!!
Amen, only by the blood of Jesus, am I saved.
"But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ"
Galatians 6:14
Praise God for the Man on the middle cross!
The question was posed in Evangelism Explosion (James Kennedy) many years ago. The only try answer is only by the blood of Christ that I am saved. It is preceded by this question. "Have you come to the place in your life where you know that if you died, you would go to heaven?"
Amen.
A very loud, "AMEN"!! 🙏❤️
Thanks for sharing
Amen!!
Thousand thumbs up. I can listen to this clip over and over. What a great reminder.
Not of works, lest any man should boast!
8¶Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God,
9who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began,
this man is good
Good good news!
Christ tells us in Luke 15 that He is the Good Shepherd who leaves the 99 to seek out the one lost sheep. He tells us that He is the physician who came for the sick, not the healthy. Even on the cross, even in His final moments, He remained a shepherd and doctor.
AMEN
Gives you chills regardless of your doctrinal beliefs. Excellent picture of who is really in charge. I pray it’s King Jesus and not your doctrinal beliefs alone. Peace be multiplied
I love the unlimited power of His Grace, even when you are in error, it reaches you!!!
God wants us to be humble, always practice humility, and integrity.
Amen
So simple and yet so profound. Maybe that’s why I listened to this for over ten times. Thank you Jesus ❤️
amen
