Jesus, Our Forerunner - 6

Well, it's hard to believe that it's Wednesday night seemed like it was just Sunday morning. This morning kind of thing. And here we are a week. Half a week. That is just flown by and it is been a real privilege to worship with you and fellowship with you and to share God's word with you. I just want to thank you on behalf of Marlene and our granddaughter Bethany, thank you so much for your not so much Southern hospitality, but your Christian hospitality and data people have been very, very kind to us and that we greatly greatly appreciate that.

Want to thank God the pastors and the elders and deacons for inviting us back. I don't know if they'll invite me again. But if the do I have a feeling I'm going to have to bring Bethany in fact I think they really won't care if I come back as long as Bethany comes back so but that would be great and we just want to thank you for your prayers for your friendship.

I we been coming on and off since I think 27 x 20 07 and it's been so good to be connected with the body of Christ in these kind of days are just little a little foretaste of the eternities to come when we not only will love God with all of her being perfectly but we will love each other perfectly and we have all kinds of family members.

We've never met, yet from all the nations of the world all down through history and it's going to take eternity just get to know the family and to hear the wonderful things that God is done in them, and God is done to them. Well, if you take your Bible one more time to Hebrews 6.

I hope it won't be your last time, but in our time together. Hebrews 6 I'm just going to read again, verses 19 and 20.

We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain, where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek is foreheads and once again seek the favor of the Lord, our gracious Savior, we thank you that we can come boldly to the throne of grace, which is the throne of righteousness, throne of justice, throne of mercy, throne of sovereignty, throne of almighty power of unspeakable wisdom and we thank you that a man is on that throne tonight that he befriended us when we did not want his friendship and he pursued us he sought us and he wooed us in one us to himself and we thank you that although we do not see you at yet.

Lord Jesus, we do love you.

Although we do not see you. We do believe in you and we thank you for giving us your word and giving us your spirit so that we might know Jesus Christ him to know is life eternal, you have blessed us this week, but we would be bold because we are your children and ask for further blessing. We pray that you would open the Scriptures to us and you would open us to the Scriptures. We pray father that the things that we hear.

We will heat.

We pray that things we would hear. We will mix with a and we pray that the things that we hear will not rise up in the judgment day and must, but on the judgment day will be further evidence of the good work of God in our souls. We pray will bless us tonight. Many have had a busy day is where there's family, there's responsibilities and we come tonight.

We know that we have an enemy who prowls about seeking not only to devour us but to distract us and to deceive us and we pray that you would restrain him.

We also have the weariness of the flash. We pray for your spirit to give us victory. There we pray that once again we would gird up the loins of our mind, so that we might grapple with the word is the word grapples with us. So bless us so that we might be a blessing to you. Bless us that we so that we might be a blessing to the church and bless us so that we might be a blessing to this lost and dying world. We asked for Jesus sake on well for the very last time we driven out to 6 Hebrews Ln. and before we go into look at the last room in the house. I just want to remind us of a few things.

First of all this 6 Hebrews Ln. is just one of 13 holes in this cul-de-sac. Each one of these homes is different somewhere larger than 6 Hebrews Ln. summer smaller but they've all been designed by the same architect, but they are not identical or not like these newer places where they just cookie cut and you know they all kinda looked the same and everyone is different and unique not only because of the designer, but because of the builder. I need to remind you about six Hebrews.

Early that the house is 2000 years old and it ended in a sense if we go into the house and begin to tour around the tendency is to think that what we need to do is remodel this we have to update it.

You know if you ever watch those programs flip and are far better love and are listed or whatever it might be, you know, especially it's the wife who goes through and says oh well, I want to change this and I want to change that were left in large, this will have to take that wall I will the end. That's why you have to flip it or fix it. I guess, but not with this house.

This house needs no alterations. This house cannot be altered, it cannot be remodeled, it cannot be refashioned and cannot be brought up to date. What's unique about this house is that it never changes.

But you know change the people who come into it. The purpose of this house is not to get your ideas in my ideas and our ideas of what it should be.

The purpose is that we might come into this house and see what the archetype and the builder have designed this house to do and what they designed this house to do is to change us to change us from the inside out. Now we came up to the front porch and remember we we came is not rich city folk trying to find a nice place in the country we live, sinners with commas, immature, struggling spiritually and spiritually. Believers, we have come home with need. We do not have a budget we now do not have our ideas of what should be a what shouldn't we are coming because were desperately needing and so we come to this house and we need to see something as we get into the house after we've knocked on the door and came into chapter 6. We saw that right away. We were cautioned. We were warned serious caution, serious warning.

What we need to understand about this house is that each room leads naturally to the next room and you you can't skip go to the third room or skip go to the bathroom. It is crucial that you go through all the rooms in the order that they been laid out by the architect. But what's interesting about this house is there's an open concept that well you must see one before you see to do before you see three. The other unique thing about this house on 6 Hebrews Ln. is that from any room you can see the other four rooms one more thing we need to mention before we come to room number five. We need to realize that in every home. There are structures with in that home that are weight-bearing. That is that you cannot remove that structure the whole thing come tumbling down. The building is laid out in such a way that the stress points in the weight of all of this is going to be handled by these crucial beams and walls and in this case, room five. Everything about this house ultimately is built around five. No room one. If you remember, was a caution.

The caution is this that we do not come to the home on Hebrews 6 and tell it what we think it should say we are to make very sure that we do not in any way deep bomber deep power of this book and of this chapter by forcing it to answer questions that it is intended to answer and then we saw in room two it's morning room that professing Christ is not a light thing is not like the Coke or Pepsi challenge to try see if you like it and if you don't, well, she said you tried it you don't try Jesus you don't try the King of the universe. You don't try, the only Savior for sinners is the Lord of glory. Holy angels shield themselves as they come into his presence. The immediately obey every word, every command they never sleep there, never weary there constantly serving the son of God, and you don't play fast and loose with the gospel. This gospel is not on your terms.

It is in the Savior's terms in room three we saw encouragement that the people of God are truly love loved by God and loved by the people of God and the people of God are truly people who have clear evidence that they're saved this gospel works. It isn't kind about Jesus teddy bear that I cuddled in the night. This is the gospel that moves in and takes over and transforms a person so that they never again will be what they used to be. This gospel as I said works, we saw last night. This gospel is always pointing whether it's in the cautions, whether it's in the warnings whether it's in the encouragements is always pointing to the promises always pointing to the promises and the record tells us that I have no excuse for stop believing because the God whose maybes, promises, has given us his promise and his sworn oh that he guarantees everything that he says in this book he will fulfill down to the very last detail, so I have no reason to doubt him. I have no reason to despair.

I have no reason to reject this I have no reason for looking for other places to believe in this God keeps his word fact his Word became flesh and dwelt among Celestine and we beheld his glory, the glory of the only begotten of the father.

Well room for brings us to room five and you will notice in verse 18 and again verse 19. The title of this room is a four letter word. Not all four letter words are bad words. This one certainly isn't a bad word it it it is part of the very essence of being a Christian were to be people of faith we are to be people of Lufkin were to be of hope in our hope is not the kind of hope that we have in terms of maybe cheering for our favorite sports team, but I sure hope by team can win this year is not the kind of hope we have went okay. I sure hope I can pass calculus parking. Sure hope I can pass chemistry or physics or I sure hope I can meet a pretty girl and get married one day another's odds and all those things and none of them are hundred percent. This hope is 100% sure this hope is not the kind of thing you close your eyes and cross your fingers and hope, and hope, and hope it's true. This hope is the kind of hope that you open your eyes and you look as objectively as you can and you say it's a done deal. I've not been sent on a fools errand.

I have not been try to somehow convince to believe in something that really is true. The gospel isn't like the tooth fairy or the Easter Bunny or Santa Claus or any of this other stuff. The gospel is historically true and it is the only hope in the world. The Divine comedy the gate over hell says abandon all hope winter here. We live in a culture that continually says they've abandon hope teenagers committing suicide. People despairing over dosing shooting themselves all kinds of things and the reason is because in spite of all of our talk about hope. We really don't have hope because what we've done is put hope in ourselves. You got it in you to be in the do what you want to be and do well if I've ever looked at me for more than 20 minutes. I'm pretty hopeless, especially about the real issues of life and the real issue of life is as we'll see in a couple minutes is how does a sinner like go into the presence of the holy God of the universe and feel comfortable there and feel accepted their and if I deal with that great dilemma how the world can a God was absolutely just justify a sinner and maintain his justice as the great question of the age and the answer is found in the person who resides in room five.

Because you see promises are promises are promises until they realized and all of the promises of God are yesterday man in Jesus Christ, so that brings us to what this is all about.

You see, Christianity is not kind about self-help recovery thing.

It's not radical change of living patterns and things like that.

It's not religion is not doing the right things at the right time Christianity is bringing a sinner into a personal, intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. I've never seen him, but I have tons of love letters and I go over them and over them and over them and they never get old fact, the more I read and the more I see my he really does love me now what Hebrews 6 is intending to do is keep me from falling away as I said last night. If you fall away a few plasticizers. If you pack it in before you cross the finish line you have nobody to blame but you can't blame the church, you can't blame hypocrites. You can't blame, certainly, you can't blame God and what Hebrews 6 is saying is for sure, you can't blame God because he is done all that he can do to convince you that you keep believing you keep pressing on. You keep persevering you keep holding on tight.

Now he says in verse 19 we have a word of possession. We have a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul. The Bible is filled with metaphors or illustrations that tried to describe to us the indescribable Jesus is sometimes shown to be a lamb.

Other times, to be the shepherd.

Other times, to be adorably times to be bread from heaven living water Temple. All of these wonderful illustrations that what it tries to do is is bring Jesus down in archon concepts so that we can at least get a little bit a grass because we must remember that ultimately Jesus is unexplainable is out of this world there is no one like him. There never has the bed and there never will be.

I like to clack hockey cards and down a number of years ago I Bought about box of hockey cards in my favorite teams.

The Boston Bruins don't move or anything and my favorite player is Bob your and and in this box of hockey cards I got assigned Bobby or I was thrilled until I read the fine print and there's at least 500 of the sign Bob your cards in circulation just on this one package and Bobby or my mind was the greatest defense of the river was, but you have to compare them to this guy and that guy in the other guy then is he's retired now, other people, there being compared to Bobby, but you know there's no one you can compare Jesus.

No, no one, and yet when asked to believe and so God very kindly gives us illustrations and metaphors and and and pictures so that we can with faith grasp on to at least a little bit of what is true about Jesus.

And here he is an anchor no, I'm a landlubber. I can hardly walk on land, so I'm not overly thrilled about being open about. But I do know that the seas get pretty rough in troubled and difficult, and any boat that's worth this name of being called boat has an anchor and and you need to throw this heavy object overboard when you at least want to kind of stop, evening, water, but especially in troubled water. You want a good anchor that will hold that would dig into the sand or whatever is down there and keep that from being destroyed by the very element that is that it sandwiches the water in the Bible says that we have an anchor, not for a boat but for what is invisible. My soul I can see it. I've never seen it but I didn't do enough funerals I've taken number of funerals and how many times have people sick. You know the real John Brown isn't here. He's in heaven and you look at the body and it's there, but they understand that were more than a body that God made the body out of the dust of the ground and then breathed into a living soul, and death is the parking. The separating of the body which goes back into the ground and the soul which continues to this lives somewhere forever and you see what the believer needs is an anchor for the soul because it is not that worrying troubled waters.

It's in were in a very troubled world and with all of its troubles. The problem with this world is not a friend of Grace. When the Savior himself the very son of God came into this world. The world attacked him and posed him and sought to convince him, convict him of sin trumped up charges against him had a kangaroo court and falsely falsely condemned him, and then crucified him in a sense they would do it again today if they could get their hands on Jesus and that's why because they can't when they can get their hands on Christians. They do some pretty terrible things don't notice where this anchor is in verse nine is not in the water. It's in the most holy place in the universe, when Moses went up to the mountain to build the tabernacle. He was to do everything according to the pattern what the tabernacle and then to Temple were like is when these you know big construction people are going to build a new subdivision or big complex Downtown that they they build a model so everybody can see that while the store is going to be here and Bojangles will be there hockey arena will be here the library be that and you can come and you can look at it and say while looks pretty impressive and Moses was to make a tabernacle that represented in the theological sense what heaven is like, and everything was to be made exactly pattern and we will go through all the details, but in the actual tabernacle or tender place of meeting there was a holy place. There is a lampstand table for bread.

Think of incense and the priest would go in and out day by day doing priestly work, but there was curtain and it didn't technically have it but it said do not enter danger high-voltage and only one person once a year could go into that holy place and that place was the ark of the covenant, the ark was a box and in it were the 10 Commandments royal covenant that God made with Israel and on top of it was a mercy seat and then angels and once a year. One man would go into that holy place with blood. Ordinary people never ever saw that place if I was just Joe ordinary Jewish person I would always be in the outer court. I bring my lamb or folder pigeon or whatever and give it to the priest and they would kill it, but the astounding thing is that I and you have your say have an anchor for your soul in the most holy place in the universe. Why would you get rid of that what why would you throw that over to see my biggest problem in in life is not having significance.

My biggest problem is that life is not that I was treated roughly as my biggest problem in life is that I'm a sinner who must deal with and absolutely perfectly holy God and how to end the problem is that everything I do tainted with sin even my preaching my praying in my acts of kindness there. There is still some aspect of sin and and I always must work through a broker. I must always have somebody else handle this and that person is Jesus Christ. And he is able to identify with me because he is perfectly human.

He is able to go boldly into the presence of the father because he is the father son completely divine and right in the most holy place in the universe which is in Washington DC or Ottawa are Moscow Or any other planet. Most holy place in the universe. I have an anchor and notice what it says it is a sure and steadfast anchor and it's for my soul. The whole that is entered into the inner holiest of holies, behind the veil and then he goes on to say that that anchor that hope I have is really Jesus.

That's amazing is not that in heaven they got my number in my name on a massive computer system. My saviors there.

He represents me.

He is everything. I should have been his everything that I want to be and he is everything that I one day one day my record and my track record is wonderful.

It's hard to believe that one day your husband will never sin again if he knows Jesus and Jesus is representing my case. Now in verse 20 goes on to say where Jesus has gone as a forerunner know this word forerunner is only used here in the New Testament, and if you just flip the words around for rider is someone who is run on for run on ahead and I'm sure most of you know your American history and at one time you are in the ideal situation you were colonies under the great British Empire and then for various reasons you decided to be independent would probably be a little better so. Third 13 colonies declared independence from Britain and then they begin to have problems and one of their problems was the country grew, people were being born fact, more people were being born they were dying, which is, and always given his and and and so the 13 colonies had a front tier a front layer to this great nation. But the trouble is that there were native Indians there. There are wild animals and things like that is a what they would do this they would send out for runners Davy Crockett Daniel Boone Lewis and Clark and and these men would go out and if you know any basketball. The Portland Trl., Blazers people about all the way from the Atlantic Ocean to the specific. I mean the Pacific Ocean and over a period of 100 or so years. This great land is built go to Kentucky and Tennessee than they go to Texas and then they end you know what I'm saying until eventually they went to California to Oregon to the great states on the west side of the country, but there was more in the 19th and 20th centuries with wars, disease, and other things in your many, many immigrants came to this country and usually what happened is that would come first. He would be the forerunner and he would come over and he would settled in New York or one of the coastal cities in the East and then depending where he would wind up and work he would get a job and then he would get a little place to live, and then he'd send for his wife and his children and when they came was sort settled.

If you know what I mean.

They had a place to live.

They had a job. Food was coming in.

Those are wonderful stories, interesting thing about America and Canada is that our countries were built on immigration Wednesday at everyone here can ultimately save my grand sister and ancestors where Irish or they were German or they were Polish or whatever the nationality and and if you know anything of your family. You know that your great great great grandpappy came over here and he settled went to the coal mines of Pennsylvania or whatever it might be settled there and then brought his family over and those are wonderful stories that you know the most exciting story that has ever the greatest Davy Crockett. The greatest Daniel Boone that has ever been. As Jesus he came to this earth in this crowd and its corruption. Sin and its misery and its heartache and he went through this whole experience without once and after he had lived a perfect life and then laid down that perfect life, he rose again bodily. He gave many infallible proofs that he was alive, and then he was raised back to heaven and he is twiddling his family is putting in time is look at the watch the same, but I wonder when I'm supposed come back again all he's there is the forerunner and you see what the text says where Jesus has gone to verse 20 is our forerunner on our behalf. Those immigrants were not here, for theirs themselves. They they were there for their families. They were there for their immediate family and their grandchildren. Hopefully in their great-grandchildren in the Lord Jesus Christ has gone back to heaven. He's got into the holy of holies he's gone there on my behalf.

Absolutely astounding.

And you know the good thing about it. He's not a Levitical priest because, remember, only the priest can go under the holy place, and only the high priest can go into the holy of holies he's of it entirely different.

The order of Melchizedek, not what's interesting is and you don't have to do it. If you are reading chapter 5, you would see that's what them before had this parenthesis Andy and he says that time we will go on to great teaching. If the Lord permits and and now he's bringing us back in chapter 7 is about Melchizedek and the priestly order. I don't know what roads are like here in United States, or at least in the north Carolina but in Ontario we have major highways. We call them the 400 highways. Therefore allotment 427 402 world three and if you look carefully what he brought in the road.

You will notice often there will be a road running alongside the 400 or whatever it might be that there called service roads and and they'll go for several kilometers miles and then eventually they come back onto the main road and and he's coming back to the main topic you remembered the theme of this great sermon. Not this great sermon, but this great sermon of the book of Hebrews is it doesn't get any better. I was at my wife Marlene's wedding. Think about that and partly through the service we were married by Marlene's pastor. Now the pastor isn't going to say the things I'm going to say because he said it in a different way.

But if you were listening carefully.

I was listening carefully. You, you would hear him say some pretty astounding things when it came to Marlene.

He says not Marlene before you answer the question I want to remind you of a few things.

Marlene, the only thing you're going to get out of this wedding is.you came up the aisle with your father, but you're leaving with Don with the reception is over and you start out on your honeymoon all you got is done.

That's pretty sobering incident Marlene. I'm not going to ask you if you love Don because who wouldn't because you see Marlene a marriage doesn't work because of love. Marlene according to what I'm going to say and I remind you again that when you walk away from this place, all you have is Don. I don't know is your pastor who loves you very much. What your future holds, but Marlene, you need to understand your life will never be the same again.

You need to understand that everything would change if you say yes. Your name will change your life will change from this day forward, you can no longer be looking out for you and your self-fulfillment and your independence in all of those things. Your life is going to be interest interchange interchangeable and intertwined for the rest of your earthly existence with Don your future will be in many ways his future and according to what I'm going to read her in a minute.

Marlene I don't know what the Lord has in store for you but Providence isn't always what we think it will be.

You have to remember that all you've got is Don and there will be times of at least relative rich riches will be times of poverty. Marlene, you need to understand that there will hopefully be times of health but there will be times of sickness and you need to understand that there will be times of better. That's our word in Hebrews is not in his times of worse or I don't know if that's a word but and the question is can you go through that only having Don there is no plan B. There is no out. There's no option there is only Don know Marlene don't answer the question yet, but the big issue in your life will not be loving.the big issue in your life will be trusting Don Marlene. People don't fall out of love. They fall out of trust and Marlene, if you say yes to what I'm going to ask you in a minute. You will need persevering life long ongoing faith and trust. Now Marlene you need to understand this is in blind trust. This isn't a leap in the dark. You've been given.

All you need to know to see if you can objectively trust Don you been given three things for five years. You've known Don you seen his character that is who is using his conduct that is how he acts and you've seen his commitment to you. That's all you have to go on because Providence is going work with all the other stuff and Marlene in this lifelong commitment of faith and trust. Don't look to yourself and see how good you're doing. You keep your eye and your heart focused on Don in light of this character is conduct and his commitment well you could cut the tension with a knife.

What is she going to say everybody was in shock suspense except me. I was cool. I will tell you in a minute.

One. Because you see it was June 23, 1973 in December 1972, Marlene made a promise to me.

I still remember that night and back that I could actually get down on my knees and get up again and I gave her a ring and she promised me by taking that ring and she knew right away that is going to be more poverty than riches wasn't the biggest diamond and she promised on New Year's Eve in 1972 that she would marry me.

Six months later she confirmed that promise with the mouth now. As I said the Bible uses all kinds of illustrations, especially illustrations from everyday, ordinary life to help us understand our relationship with Jesus and one of those relationships is as a husband and wife and you see the gospel comes to you and says listen this is a lifelong commitment. This is a life of persevering faith.

Your life is going to be very uncertain. There will be all kinds of this attitudes and ups and downs and ins and outs and all of that there is going to be richness for this is going. Sickness is going to be help is going to be better. It is going to be worse and you not to be thrown off by the providences you have one job and that is to trust Jesus you been given three things you been told about his character.

You been told about his conduct, and you've been told about his commitment.can you trust can you trust him.

Can you trust if I make it a few more months we will get through 49 years and Providence has a way of disappointing.

Even some of our hopes, but Providence is always always always designed to strengthen our trust in Jesus because I have to remember like poor Marlene on June 23, 1973. The only thing I getting out of this. That's all I'm getting much of anything that's all I need.

That's all I need.

I'd rather have Jesus riches untold. I'd rather be a servant of the king. The king of avast alone and you see what the gospel does it comes to me and says listen here in a real mess. Frankly nobody wanted to marry you but Jesus did.

Can you trust him and you begin and everything you need to trust him. It's not about your circumstances is not about you Providence. It's not about what's going on inside of you.

It is about Jesus.

We should keep our eye fixed on the author and finisher of our of our faith that we and you see when I first started going out with Marlene. I was very preoccupied with me. I check under my arms.

I checked my breath. I just and you know what happened as the relationship grew. I know I still had a bath once in a while, but those things were that crucial because the object of my affection was Marlene not me same in the Christian life. It first begin to check your pulse do I pray enough to I pray the right way.

Good godly men come up and praying like. All I can say is Jesus help me when I read in the Bible. Even Peter said that I read my Bible afterwards. I don't understand, but I know more words this month and I did last month and I'm trusting Jesus and the best parts about the Bible when they tell me about his character is conduct and his can the gospel is not a fairytale. This gospel is not true because I believe it. This gospel is true.

So I better believe it. All of the gospel has taken place in real time in history, and space Jesus right now whatever time this is 830 on Wednesday evening is in the throne room of the universe, representing me. What more do I need to say well I am tired now. Don't give into tiredness and I haven't heard anything new this week. The same old same old. Marlene never gets tired of hearing how wonderful Donna's and Wheatley should never get tired of hearing how wonderful Jesus is. You know we love to tell the story of how we met in the early years of an all we love giving testimony and we love to hear the testimonies of other people how Jesus is brought them together how he is kept them how they gone through difficult time. You know what happened to that poor girl after the pastor said the only thing you're taken out here's a week later Don was in a car accident on their honeymoon. I wasn't drunk was a freak thing Marlene had to go into surgery and have back surgery. We were to go to seminary in Massachusetts. We wound up for seven years working in a grocery store and after seven years and three kids. I was making $10,000 a year for those were wonderful years, because you know what we learned, the character of Christ in the conduct of Christ and the commitment of Christ in our faith grew in our faith one day will be like Abraham's faith where there being no record of our struggles over doubts of our weariness of our tiredness and pressing on persevering tiredness of serving and serving serving when it seems like very few other people are my savior comes and says you know Don every glass of cold water. If you deliver Jesus. I sorted Job at our church. With everyone so real I would say you know the people in this church early and get the most rewards are the nursery workers and the reason is because of their long-winded pastor and you know there's a real truth that just doing things again and again and again because you love Jesus and you trust him. My dear friend, you may be here tonight are not saved when we have nothing to offer you but you if you come to him if you come to him.

That's all you will get this Jesus but you know what's happened over the last 49 years.

Not only Marlene but God has seen that's all I needed. That's all I need.

That's the woman I needed my good friend I told you about him the other day with this close when he heard the Marlene and I were going out together. He was married for number of years had two children. He said, and I'll never forget this.

He said my wife and I are not perfect, but we are perfect for each other. For me it's partly true. I'm far from perfect. But, oh, my savior's perfect.

He's exactly what I need to get me through this dark and dangerous and narrow road that's leading to a city of a celestial city. If I savior's already there and because they put you in Christ, if he's in heaven tonight where you are seated in heavenly places. He's the forerunner on my behalf. Choices just keep trusting to ski persevering. Just keep looking to Jesus. Don't look around you. Don't look at the waves don't look at the wind and Peter was fine as long as he was looking at Jesus was and that's where the real discipline comes that I have to keep focus and say okay I know this is true of me and I know that church is there. I know this and that but tell me about Jesus because you know I'm not trusting in any of those things. I'm not trusting in me. I'm trusting in Jesus his character is conduct and his commitment very dear people, very patient people I I hope you'll drive overdue sling quite a bit and check out the house at number six again and again and by the way, you know there's open house for all their homes on Hebrews Lane thank you and God's
