Notice what kind of a man He came to now: a man that was a righteous. A righteous man’s not a sinless man, but a man that depends on His righteousness by confessing his wrongs to God. Notice. Then the Angel said to—to the priest, Zacharias; He said when the days of his ministration was over, he was to go home, and his wife was going to conceive and bring forth a child. And they call his name John. Now, Zacharias, yet a priest, a minister of the Word, failed to believe the Angel. Notice. Then the Angel said… When God has spoke anything, He will perform it. Amen. You believe that? He’s going to have a Church. I don’t know who’s in It, but He’s going to have a Church without spot or wrinkle. It’s somebody. I don’t know who it is, but It’ll be there. You say, “Where will they get it?” I don’t know. But It’s going to be there, for God has said so, and God can’t lie.
