The One and Only Rose of Sharon 0:00 I want you to take your bibles and go to the book of song of Solomon this morning. The song of Solomon chapter number 2 and verse number 1. 1 verse I'm gonna read to you.0:12 The song of Solomon chapter number 2 and verse number 1. There is a phrase here that I wanna show you. The song of Solomon chapter 2 and verse number 1.0:25 I am the rose of Sharon and the lily of the valleys. I am the rose of Sharon and0:37 the lily of the valleys. Read that with me. I am the rose of Sharon and the lily of the valleys. There's0:49 a few things in that verse you need to point out. We see an identification made, but yet we are not told who makes the identification. We see someone1:01 say that they are something, yet that someone never tells us who it is that's actually making the claim. I want you to notice the definite articles tells us who it is. He1:12 says, I am the rose of Sharon, and I am the lily of the valley. If that verse had said, I am1:24 a rose in Sharon. I am a lily in the valley, then we could be confused about who this verse could be referring to. If1:36 it had used the article a, then we may be we may be forced to kindly look out across the horizon of history and try to grab people that may fit this mold. But he1:48 does not say I am a rose. He says I am the rose. Whenever it uses the definite article the, it is the grammatical2:00 way of saying the 1 and the only. Ain't no other like it. Ain't ain't a word, but it makes good sense here. Ain't another 1 like it.2:12 The definite 1, the genuine 1, the 1 that has no equal, has no rival, has nobody else that stands2:24 across the horizon. He says, I am the the only 1. You do realize that there can only be 1 genuine thing. The rest are2:36 imitators and they are duplicators, but nobody has ever matched it completely. It always amazes me whenever people, and I've talked about this before, but it grieves my spirit2:48 so I think I'll talk about it again. It bothers me when we try to pass off the real thing as a fake, an imitator, something that doesn't go. I have3:00 always despised store brand things. I don't enjoy store brand things. I I think that you ought to be cutting money elsewise. Don't educate your children, but don't buy store brand stuff.3:12 Don't don't don't have a vehicle, but don't buy store brand stuff. Nothing worse than when your your thirst is so down deep inside of your bosom and yet you go to the refrigerator and your wife3:24 has tried to save 2 dollars and 19 cent. And instead of buying a Doctor Pepper, she has bought a Doctor Perky. There's nothing worse than when all you3:35 desire is a genuine Coca Cola. Whenever you go to the refrigerator and the thunder cola was on sale down at the Piggly Wiggly or at Al's3:47 Mini Mart or at a Publix or wherever you wanna go. And then they try to pass it off as if it's the same. No, it ain't the same thing. That's why they're selling it for 2 dollars3:59 and 19 cent beneath the price of the genuine 1 and of you know there's only 1 kind of chicken sandwich in the United States of America and it4:11 is not a Zaxby's sandwich, it is not a Popeye's sandwich, it is the 1 and the only Chick fil A. It is the authentic. It is4:23 the genuine boy y'all like that right there. Yeah, it is the 1 there are a lot of imitators but there are no duplicators. There is a genuine thing. Now let's apply4:35 that to our beloved Bible this morning. There are a lot of things out there that would try to stand in the place of the good God of Heaven. A lot of things that4:46 would try to tell you, you can put me in the place of. But yet the Bible declares over and over and over again that there is 1 true God4:58 and His name is Jesus. There is not a God, there is the God. There is not a truth, there is the truth. There is not a way, there5:10 is the way. There is not a church, there is the church. There is not a Bible, there is the Bible. You see, there is a genuine and an5:22 authentic, a 1 and only 1 of a kind. Brothers and sisters, it declares right here that there is a 1 of a kind rose5:34 and it's found down in the plains of Sharon. We also know that there is only 1 person indicated here, not just by the definite article, but by the5:45 fact that both of the flowers mentioned are indicated in the singular. It says, I am the rose and I am the5:57 lily. The only thing that is duplicated or plural in that verse are the valleys. You see, there's gonna be a lot of valleys in your life. There's gonna be a multiplicity of6:09 valleys over and over and over, but in the valley there is but 1 lily and in the plain of Sharon there is but 1 rose. Brothers and sisters, that writer6:21 the6:36 the offspring of God Almighty, the 1 born in Bethlehem from a virgin's womb, grew up 33 and 1 half years, marched up Golgotha Scully Crag, laid himself upon the old rugged cross, compelled upon that cross,6:48 he looked up to Heaven and he looked down at man and He said Father forgive them for they know not what they do. Then looked back up to the Father and He said it is finished. And when7:00 the rose bowed His head on that cross that day, God shut the heavens up and he was declaring to God, man, the demons, hell, heaven and earth in between that there is 1 and7:12 1 only. And he is the 1 that was foretold back in the book of Genesis that he would be the seed of the woman that would arise and crush the head of the serpent. Moses7:24 came and told him to spread the blood upon the doorpost and the lintel, pointing that he was the pass Over Lamb. Then in the book of, in the book of Leviticus, they talked about a7:35 high priest indicating that 1 day there would be the high priest that would stand up. Then in the book of Numbers they said there would be a cloud of fire by day and a cloud of fire by7:47 night and 1 day the cloud of fire would come by day and the cloud of fire by night, a cloud by day and the fire by night. Then in the book of Deuteronomy, he said there would be 1 that would rise up and7:59 be a prophet like as unto Moses. Joshua said it is the captain of the Lord's host. He gets over into the book of Judges and said they'll be the law giver. Then you get over into8:11 the book of Ruth and said they would be the kinsman redeemer. Got over to the book of Samuel and said they would be a faithful, a faithful priest and a faithful prophet. Get over into kings and they said they would8:23 be a faithful king. Get over into Chronicles, they said they would be a faithful, a faithful high priest that would stand up and would wipe away all the sin introduced into the temple.8:34 In Ezra they said there'd be a faithful scribe. In Deuteronomy, in number, in Esther they said they'd be a faithful Mordecai. In the book of Nehemiah they said they'd be a faithful law giver. In Psalms they said they'd8:46 be a faithful shepherd. In in song song of Solomon they said all of a sudden after Proverbs's wisdom they would arise the rose. The rose. The rose. The rose. The rose.8:59 I saw those teenagers handing out those roses while ago and my mind was sparked to this. Who is the rose of Sharon? If there's only 1,9:12 who is it? You say his name's not mentioned. No. Because what we find in the rose of Sharon can only be pointing to9:24 1 person. Watch what it tells us about the rose of Sharon. Who is the rose of Sharon? Well, number 1, we find out from its appearance it is the Lord JesusRevealed in Appearance: Divine Humanity, Sinless Purity, Royal Crown 9:36 Christ. You see in your hand you have right now what we call a Tennessee rose. You know why it's a Tennessee rose? Because we're in Tennessee. If we were in North Carolina it'd be a North Carolina rose. In Mississippi9:48 they gave out Mississippi roses. And open out over in Alabama they gave out Alabama out Alabama roses. And in South Carolina, you can guess probably what they gave out. There is nothing unique about these roses. You can9:59 make these these blossoms any color. They can make them white. They can make them red. They can make them yellow. But the roses that grow in the plains of Sharon, they are not red. They10:10 are not yellow. They are not white. Do you know what color the roses that grow in the plains of Sharon they are? They are orange. There is only 1 way in the the10:22 in the artistic way to get the color orange. Orange is not a primary color. Do you know how you get orange? You mix 2 colors. You mix the color red and you mix the10:34 color yellow. Do you know what red is a picture of? Red is a picture of the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. And do you know what yellow is a picture of? Yellow is a10:46 picture of Jesus Christ, the light of the world. Do you know where the blood atonement and the light of the world came together? They came together in the God10:57 man, the Lord Jesus Christ. Blood is a picture of His human lineage and the light of Heaven is a picture of His divine lineage. And when God came down and became man,11:09 man so that He might go and be with God came together in the Lord Jesus Christ. There's never been another 1 like Him. You see, never before always has man tried to11:21 get to God but only in 1 man did God ever come down to man. Islam tells us that if we keep the right tenants then man may be able to go to God.11:33 Buddhism says that if you're reincarnated enough, maybe man can get to God. But there is only 1 way that ever said that there was no way for man to get to11:44 God, so God came down to man. And it was in the person of the loving Lord Jesus. It was in the person of the rose of Sharon. Brothers and sisters, you can try all you want,11:56 you'll never get to God on your own. You can you can come on Mother's Day, you can take your mama to the demos grill, that ain't gonna get you to heaven. You can give her a rose,12:08 that's not gonna get you to heaven. You can be baptized 4000 times until you grow gills and a flipper, that's not gonna get you to heaven. There is only 1 way to12:20 heaven and that is by putting your faith in the man Christ Jesus. He is the rose of Sharon. Yes. But in his appearance his color tells us that it has to be12:32 only 1. Now brothers and sisters this this rose stem is a little bit trimmed down, but I would imagine on some of your rose stems, are there some12:44 thorns on there? I sat down on that front row a while ago and I figured out that 1 had some thorns in it. You know, roses all over the world have thorns.12:56 Thorns in the bible are a picture of sin. Whenever man fell in the Garden of Eden, what was the curse upon Adam? Eve, you will have sorrow in childbirth.13:09 Adam, you will labor in the ground and all it will bring forth are thorns and thistles. Flowers and rose bushes all over the world have13:21 thorns, but the roses that grow in the plains of Sharon have no thorns. When the stem comes forth,13:34 it comes forth beautiful, pure. As if it never had been in the ground. Beloved, you13:46 take your rose, you grab it the wrong way, you're gonna need a band aid. If you grab it the real wrong way, you're gonna hope your wife didn't buy that off brand band aid down at the13:57 Dollar General. You're gonna hope they went up to Buckeye drugs and got the real thing, shameless plug, and got the real thing.14:13 Church is a whole lot like his roses. Some of you've been grabbed and you've tried to wrap yourself around church only to be stuck. You've14:25 wrapped yourself around religion only to come off bleeding and bloody. You've tried to wrap yourself around preachers only to come off hurt. Some of you in this14:36 house right now, this is the first time since last Mother's Day you've been and it's all because you grabbed hold of religion and it stuck you. You know the problem with14:48 churches and preachers and people? They may look pretty, but we're all just sinners at the end of the day. You wrap yourself around this stuff15:01 and it'll stick you. But no man, no woman, no child has ever gone to the plains of Sharon and grabbed a rose off of the plains15:13 and ever found a thorn. No man, no woman, no boy, no girl that's ever given their life to Jesus Christ has ever found 1 thing that he ever15:25 did wrong. 33 and 1 half years he lived a holy life, a righteous life, a pure life, a life where he said nothing wrong, a life where he saw nothing, a life where he15:37 heard nothing wrong, a life where he thought nothing wrong. He looked at a woman taken in the act of adultery and instead of lusting he said neither do I I condemn thee. Go and sin no more. He15:49 looked at a crippled man and instead of casting judgment at what he had done to be called crippled, he looked at him and he said rise, take up thy bed and go and walk. He looked at a man blind from his16:00 mother's womb and he's instead of looking at that man like everybody else did and said did his daddy sin or did his mama sin, he looked at him for the glory of God and he spit in the dirt, he made16:12 some putty, put it in his eyes, washed him down at the pool of Siloam, and he came up clean as he could be able to see. Brothers and sisters, right now, stop building your life around religion,16:24 stop building your life trying to get to heaven off a church, but give yourself to the loving Lord Jesus Christ because you'll never find in him anything that's ever been wrong.16:37 Beloved, if you take the appearance of the roses in Sharon, you'll find it can only be talking about Jesus Christ. There's 1 more thing about the appearances of the16:49 roses in Sharon. When you look at the rose you have upon you, it's got many layers to it. But the roses in Sharon,17:02 they bloom different. They actually don't resemble a rose at all. They call the roses in Sharon, they lay open17:14 in the form of a crown, and they call the roses in Sharon the crown of the flower kingdom. Beloved, I don't know how17:26 to say what I'm about to say other than just to say it. You ain't God and I ain't either. You ain't never gonna be God and I ain't either. The president ain't ever gonna be God and17:38 Donald Trump ain't ever gonna be God. There ain't a republican ever gonna be God. There ain't a democrat ever gonna be God. There ain't a politician ever gonna be God. There ain't a king on this earth ever gonna be God.17:49 There ain't a tax collector ever gonna be God? Because there is but 1 king. There is but 1 that we will all bow to. There is but 1 that we bow to today. We do not bow to the religious18:01 system. We do not bow to the political system. We do not bow to the people around us. There is but 1 king. Ladies and gentlemen, he's the 1 that the angels bow down to. He's the 1 that the people of earth will18:13 bow down to. He's the 1 that the demons of hell will bow down to. He's the 1 that the devil himself on that great judgment day are gonna bow down to. Who is he? His name is Jesus Christ and he is18:25 the rose of Sharon. He is Yeshua. He is God of gods, the son of God, the son of man, Christ of Christ, king of kings, and lord of lords. So if you18:36 look at the roses in Sharon, you'll find it's referring to Jesus Christ. But number 2, after you look at its appearance, you'll find that it's talking about 1 person. Number 2, when you look at its18:48 applications, you'll realize it can only be talking about 1 person. Now brothers and sisters, what did they use the roses in SharonCrushed for Healing: Medicine for the Mind 19:00 for? Well, there was 1 main application that they would use the roses in Sharon. Now long before modern pharmaceuticals and19:12 and modern medicine, long before doTERRA figured out you could make money off of oil, say amen right there. Don't y'all back up on me. Y'all know I'm telling it right. Amen,19:24 Rachel. Bunch of snake oil. Say amen right there. There's a man on Andy Griffith dealt with that kind of stuff too. What was I talking about? Oh, yeah. Roses.19:36 They would use the plant kingdom for medicine. Whenever somebody would be suffering with an ailment of mind,19:48 they would take the blossom of the roses in Sharon, and they would remove it from the stem, and after they broke it,20:01 they would crush it, and they would pulverize it, and this liquid would come forth from this rose petal, and they would20:13 mix it with water. They called it rose water, And when somebody's mind was poured to pieces, they give them that rose water,20:25 and peace would overwhelm the anxiety. Beloved, the bible says in the book of Isaiah chapter number 53,20:36 by his stripes, we have been healed. He was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our20:48 iniquities. The chastisement of our peace was laid upon Him. And 1 day the rose was broken.21:01 And on Golgotha's hill, the rose was pulverized. And coming out of the arms and the feet and the side and the head21:13 and the back of the loving lamb of God, a liquid flow of life flow from him.21:25 And the blood flow from his dying body. Brothers and sisters, that day on Calvary, the lamb was crushed,21:38 bruised, shattered, but the only way for the medicine to get from the hand into the belly where it can do good is it had to be mixed21:50 with water. Christ died on Calvary, but the blood does no good to mankind unless22:02 we're aware of our sin. And the only way man is made aware of their sin is through the convicting power of the water of22:14 heaven, the Holy Ghost of God. You say, what does that mean? It means right now your nerves are ta or tore slap up.22:26 I mean, you think about it day and night. What's gonna happen if I die? What's gonna happen if I don't make it to the morning? What's gonna happen to my family? What's gonna happen to my business? What's gonna happen to22:37 my job? What's gonna happen to my house? What's gonna hap am I gonna go to heaven? Am I gonna go to hell? Who's gonna do this? What's your nerves are tore slap up. But you don't have to be tore slap up22:48 because the rose was already crushed for you. But here today, the Holy Spirit of God, that sweet water from heaven, is trying to get mixed in with the atonement, and he's23:00 trying to take the healing that flowed from the life of the Lord Jesus and the death for the Lord Jesus and the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus, and the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus and he's trying to show you that only23:12 through Christ can chaos be turned into order and anxiety turned into peace. Brothers and sisters, I don't know what else it's gonna take for23:24 God to get your attention. The holy ghost of God has done everything in his power to draw you to Christ.23:36 God, what do I need to do? Call upon the name of the lord, and thou shalt be saved, rescued at23:48 peace. You say, but so now the so and so didn't die for you, but the pre the preacher is useless.24:00 It's only Christ. It's only the rose of Sharon. Stop making excuses24:12 and give yourself to Jesus Christ. How what do I do? In just a second you'll see people get on this altar, you get up out of your seat, don't wait on your mama, don't wait on your daddy, don't wait on your granny,24:24 don't think about your chicken at lunch, don't worry about what you're gonna do afterwards. You get up out of your seat and you run to the Lord Jesus Christ. If you and your wife need to both be saved, you grab your24:34 wife's hand and say today is the day that we get the chaos out of our home and we bring order in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Today is the day you stop living off of24:46 excuses and find peace that only comes in the application of giving yourself to Jesus Christ. Let me give you 1 more thing about this rose.24:59 The roses in Sharon, it tells us in its appearance it's Christ. It tells us in its application it's Christ. Number 3, it tells us in its availability it's Christ.Freely Available: Reach Out and Be Marked Forever 25:11 Roses all over the world grow in the most unique places. I love knockout roses. I love him knockout rose bushes. I have planted them in every house I have ever bought. We25:22 plant knockout roses just front to back, left to right. I'm gonna do it out here. 1 day you just gonna see tractors out here. I'm gonna buy me a farm. Say amen right there. And we're gonna get we're gonna take that25:33 tractor that I'm gonna buy 1 day and we're gonna rip out every plant and we're just gonna plant knockout roses everywhere. You know the problem though with the knockout rose? It's full of thorns. Not everybody can get to25:43 it. Not everybody can reach their hand in and get a rose but you know the roses in Sharon grow out on an even plain in the25:55 fields of Sharon. There's no hills. There's no valleys. If you can get there, it's free for the taken. Brothers and sisters,26:07 you go to Islam, you better hope you can do all the tenants. You become a Roman Catholic, you better hope your good outweighs your bad. And even at the end of26:19 it, you're still lost without God. You run over to these churches that say you have to be baptized or you have to have the Lord's supper.26:31 You better hope they're right. Unfortunately, you're gonna realize they're wrong. Right. And when you realize they're wrong, it's gonna be too late.26:44 But Jesus Christ is available to the rich and the poor, the white and the black, the male26:56 and the female, the criminal and the innocent, The 1 that's been divorced and the 1 that's been married. The widow27:08 and the single. The young and the old Christ is available to all. I took this rose27:20 and I crushed it in my hand. The problem with these roses is when they're crushed and applied,27:33 it leaves a stain. And I'm gonna tell you something about this stain that this rose petal leave. Ajax won't take it off. You won't get it27:45 off. I'm gonna have red hands tomorrow when I'm preaching in South Carolina. You won't get it off. You know what? I don't care. Today, I'm27:57 gonna take my wife on a delicious Mother's Day outing. You know where we're gonna go? Wherever I can get in. Say amen right there. It's exactly where I'm gonna take her.28:11 And no doubt when I go to order, if my hands are open, they're gonna see that stain. They're gonna say, what happened to you? Now I'm not gonna try to28:23 cover them up. I'm gonna take that and I'm gonna say, you know what? I had an encounter with the rose.28:36 You know, if you really get holy Ghost born of the spirit washed in the blood, I'm talking heaven saved, I'm talking hell proof saved, I'm talking the demons fear you28:47 saved, I'm talking the angels know your name saved, I'm talking peace that runs like a river saved, I'm talking about 3 times a week I ain't ashamed to go saved. I'm talking about take me to revival28:59 saved. I'm talking about I want a bumper sticker that says Jesus is mine and he's not my copilot saved. I'm talking about write that stuff all over your vehicle saved. I'm talking about putting a John 3 1629:11 sign in your front yard saved. I'm talking about getting a tattoo that says mama on 1 side and Jesus saves on the other. I don't really do that. I'm just kidding. Here's what I'm I'm talking about when you get really.29:22 I'm talking really, really, really born again. You don't care who sees it, you don't care what they say about it. Why? Because you had an encounter with the sweet rose of Sharon and you don't29:34 care who knows it. Today, I'm sick and tired in 20 24 of this secret believism where you don't want anybody to know lest they get offended. I want everybody to know I'm29:46 heaven bound with the hammer that I couldn't go to hell if I wanted to. Why? Because the rose changed my life. The rose gave29:58 me a reason to live. The rose changed my eternity. I want people to see that he's made a mark.30:10 And today, I wanna encourage you. Give your heart to the Rose of Sharon. Let's bow our30:22 heads this morning. Our heads are bowed. No moving about.In this video 0:00 The One and Only Rose of Sharon9:26 Revealed in Appearance: Divine Humanity, Sinless Purity, Royal Crown18:56 Crushed for Healing: Medicine for the Mind25:08 Freely Available: Reach Out and Be Marked Forever
