- 3:52Speaker 1: that is to be found in Christ. Jesus, Hee whom
- 3:56Speaker 1: the Son sets free, is free. In deed, the Gospel
- 4:01Speaker 1: of John chapter number twelve will be reading from today,
- 4:04Speaker 1: as we will amen again focus our attention on Jesus
- 4:09Speaker 1: the Savior, a man, the one who came to give
- 4:12Speaker 1: himself for us. So, if you have your Bible and

- 4:53Speaker 1: into that glorious light. God be praised, God be glorified
- 4:56Speaker 1: in Jesus name, Amen and Amen. Gospel of John chapter twelve.
- 5:02Speaker 1: We begin reading at verse number forty four, reading from
- 5:06Speaker 1: the King James Virgin. Jesus cried and said, he that
- 5:10Speaker 1: believeth on me believed not on me, but on him
- 5:17Speaker 1: that sent me, And he that seeth me, seeth him
- 5:23Speaker 1: that sent me. I am come a light into the world,
- 5:28Speaker 1: that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
- 5:34Speaker 1: And if any man hear my words and believe not,
- 5:40Speaker 1: I judge him not, For I came not to judge
- 5:45Speaker 1: the world, but to save the world. He that rejecteth
- 5:51Speaker 1: me and receiveth not my words. Hath one that judgeth
- 5:57Speaker 1: him the word that I have spoken, The same shall
- 6:02Speaker 1: judge him in the last day. For I have not
- 6:05Speaker 1: spoken of myself, but the Father which sent me, He
- 6:09Speaker 1: gave me a commandment what I should say, what I
- 6:14Speaker 1: should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting,
- 6:21Speaker 1: whatsoever I speak. Therefore, even as the Father said unto me,
- 6:27Speaker 1: so I speak. Amen. Amen. Amen. Our focus today is
- 6:34Speaker 1: on the one that will judge, the one that will judge.
- 6:41Speaker 1: And by the way, ladies and gentlemen, I hope you
- 6:44Speaker 1: heard this from the words of Jesus. This is good news.
- 6:49Speaker 1: Everything about Jesus, everything about what he's a man done
- 6:53Speaker 1: for us is coming into the world, is all good news.
- 6:57Speaker 1: The Gospel is the good news man, the Gospel of
- 7:00Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. Of course, it is the power of God
- 7:03Speaker 1: into salvation to all that believe. Amen. And certainly this
- 7:07Speaker 1: is good news for us that Jesus speaks these words,
- 7:12Speaker 1: that he did not come to judge the world, but
- 7:18Speaker 1: to save the world. He didn't come to judge us,
- 7:25Speaker 1: but to save us. He came to save sinners. Amen.
- 7:35Speaker 1: When the word came in the Gospel of Matthew, chapter
- 7:39Speaker 1: number one. Thou shall called his name Jesus, for he
- 7:44Speaker 1: shall save his people from their sins. That's good news.
- 7:53Speaker 1: That is good news. And Jesus re emphasizes, if you will,
- 8:00Speaker 1: the fact that he did not come to judge, but
- 8:04Speaker 1: he came to save. However, the one that will judge
- 8:09Speaker 1: may be surprising to even some of us who profess
- 8:14Speaker 1: to be believers. A man, there's a grand deception. There's
- 8:19Speaker 1: a grand delusion, a great delusion, if you will, that
- 8:22Speaker 1: has been blinding the minds of multitude since the coming
- 8:26Speaker 1: of Jesus into the world. A man coming to preach
- 8:31Speaker 1: the Gospel and to speak clearly on behalf of the
- 8:35Speaker 1: Godhead concerning the salvation of our souls. This grand deception
- 8:42Speaker 1: is that Jesus came to judge, and he did not.
- 8:50Speaker 1: He again himself, he stated it expressly that he came
- 8:56Speaker 1: to save, and the salvation of the world, that is,
- 9:01Speaker 1: the salvation of the souls of men everywhere, from among
- 9:05Speaker 1: all nation, kindred and tongues of people. Amen. It is
- 9:12Speaker 1: accomplished by faith in what God has spoken, as the
- 9:19Speaker 1: Bible makes clear. Without faith, it is impossible for man
- 9:25Speaker 1: to please God, he that comes to God must believe,
- 9:30Speaker 1: must believe. You must believe God, You must believe his word.
- 9:35Speaker 1: You must stand a man and live by faith. Amen.
- 9:41Speaker 1: And God has spoken his word and again, as I
- 9:45Speaker 1: say so often, the decree has gone forth from all
- 9:49Speaker 1: that man is not to live by bread alone, but
- 9:53Speaker 1: by the word of God. Amen. And there are those
- 9:59Speaker 1: in the Old Testament, for example, who spoke of the
- 10:02Speaker 1: word of God highly, the one of the Old Amen, patriarchs,
- 10:09Speaker 1: if you will the Old Testament said, I exteem the
- 10:13Speaker 1: word of God higher than my necessary or daily food. Amen.
- 10:18Speaker 1: And so amen. The word of God that he has
- 10:21Speaker 1: spoken to us, as Jesus has said, as what we're
- 10:26Speaker 1: going to again, examine and see in the text from
- 10:29Speaker 1: the text today, the word of God is pre eminent. Amen.
- 10:35Speaker 1: It is the word of God that will judge God,
- 10:41Speaker 1: who had sundry times. This is Hebrews chapter one, verses
- 10:44Speaker 1: one through three, who at sundry times and in divers manners,
- 10:49Speaker 1: spake and time passed unto the fathers by the prophets
- 10:54Speaker 1: Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his son,
- 10:59Speaker 1: and by the way the last days, Ladies and gentlemen began. Oh,
- 11:05Speaker 1: excuse me, excuse me, I'm sorry. The last days began
- 11:09Speaker 1: when Jesus came into the world in the incarnation, the
- 11:14Speaker 1: first advent, if you will, the coming of Christ was
- 11:19Speaker 1: the beginning of the last days. So we are already
- 11:23Speaker 1: in the last days, and of course, two thousand years
- 11:26Speaker 1: removed from that time, we are in the last or
- 11:30Speaker 1: the latter of the last days. And so the Bible
- 11:34Speaker 1: says God who in sundry times, in other words, in
- 11:40Speaker 1: times past, a man prior to the advent of Jesus,
- 11:45Speaker 1: the first Advent of Jesus, a man the incarnation, his ministry,
- 11:51Speaker 1: earthly ministry, a man preaching the Gospel, proclaiming the kingdom,
- 11:58Speaker 1: setting the captive free, opening the eyes of the blind,
- 12:02Speaker 1: a man spiritually and naturally in some cases, of course,
- 12:07Speaker 1: a man Jesus came speaking the word of God. In
- 12:13Speaker 1: the past, God had spoken through prophets Amen. But in
- 12:19Speaker 1: these last days the Bible makes it clear that He
- 12:23Speaker 1: has spoken to us by his son, whom he had
- 12:30Speaker 1: the pointed air of all things, by whom also he
- 12:35Speaker 1: made the world. Christ is the pre eminent one. He
- 12:40Speaker 1: is the creator. By him all things are made. Nothing
- 12:44Speaker 1: was John one and one in the beginning was Word
- 12:47Speaker 1: was with God. Word was God. All things were made
- 12:50Speaker 1: by him, and there is nothing that was made apart
- 12:54Speaker 1: from him. Amen. The Bible says again, reminding us of this,
- 12:59Speaker 1: in this a man, first chapter of Hebrews. It is
- 13:04Speaker 1: by him, a man, all things were made by whom
- 13:09Speaker 1: also he made the world, the universe, everything that we see,
- 13:14Speaker 1: everything in the created order, was made by Jesus, a
- 13:18Speaker 1: man who, being verse number three, the brightness of his
- 13:22Speaker 1: glory and the express image of his person, and upholding
- 13:29Speaker 1: all things by the word of his power. When he
- 13:34Speaker 1: had by himself, that's Christ. And this is what he
- 13:38Speaker 1: came for, the Bible says, when he had by himself
- 13:42Speaker 1: purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of
- 13:49Speaker 1: the Majesty on high. God has spoken, ladies and gentlemen,
- 14:00Speaker 1: Church of the Living God, by Jesus, the word that
- 14:06Speaker 1: we are to live by. Now, whatever ambiguity, whatever mysterious
- 14:14Speaker 1: things that were not understood, and there were those things
- 14:17Speaker 1: that were not understood, even the prophets to whom God spoke. Amen,
- 14:26Speaker 1: through whom God spoke, many of the things that he spoke,
- 14:31Speaker 1: they did not even understand. There were mysteries, there were
- 14:35Speaker 1: things that were hidden from them. So whatever ambiguity or
- 14:39Speaker 1: mysterious things or misgivings that people could have professed ignorance
- 14:46Speaker 1: to as it pertained again to what God had spoken
- 14:51Speaker 1: in the past through the mouth of his prophets. Today,
- 14:58Speaker 1: now that Jesus as common ladies and gentlemen, there is
- 15:02Speaker 1: no vagueness. There is no uncertainty about the claims that
- 15:10Speaker 1: Jesus has spoken concerning himself. He spoke clearly, He spoke plainly,
- 15:23Speaker 1: and I believe just a few episodes ago, I, hey, man,
- 15:30Speaker 1: looked at this. I I call it this, this is,
- 15:37Speaker 1: this is, this is, this is what you call Ah.
- 15:43Speaker 1: I really don't. I don't. I don't know how as
- 15:46Speaker 1: to describe it. Because again, with all of the plainness
- 15:50Speaker 1: of speech that Jesus so clearly did, and all the
- 15:55Speaker 1: things that he did by the way demonstrating the power
- 15:58Speaker 1: of his ministry, the fact that he was indeed the Christ,
- 16:02Speaker 1: the fact that he was from above and not beneath,
- 16:05Speaker 1: all of that, the Pharisees Sadducees scribes those who constantly
- 16:14Speaker 1: chilt it with Jesus, challenged him, tried to entrap him.
- 16:19Speaker 1: They came to Jesus, had the unmitigated gall to come
- 16:24Speaker 1: to Jesus and say, how long dost thou make us
- 16:31Speaker 1: to doubt? In essence accusing Jesus of being responsible, if
- 16:40Speaker 1: you will, for their unbelief, and that, just like man boy,
- 16:48Speaker 1: if we don't have the the DNA of our father, Adam,
- 16:53Speaker 1: blame God. Point the finger back at God. The woman
- 16:59Speaker 1: that you gave me, it's her fault. It's your fault.
- 17:03Speaker 1: It's her fault and your fault, and it ultimately points
- 17:06Speaker 1: back to you. My You know, the animals we were
- 17:11Speaker 1: getting hey, we were getting along swimmingly until the woman
- 17:16Speaker 1: that you gave me. You see, that's how long. This
- 17:21Speaker 1: is what they said. They said to Jesus, how long
- 17:26Speaker 1: do you make us doubt? If you be the Christ?
- 17:31Speaker 1: Tell us plainly, Jesus response to the once I told you,
- 17:38Speaker 1: and you don't believe. See, the problem is unbelief. You
- 17:44Speaker 1: don't believe, Jesus said, because you're of your father, the devil.
- 17:48Speaker 1: You're not of my sheep, My sheep hear my voice.
- 17:52Speaker 1: You don't believe, and therefore you're not hearing my words.
- 18:01Speaker 1: And so the words that Jesus spoke places every man
- 18:10Speaker 1: squarely on one side or the other. There is no
- 18:16Speaker 1: in between. There can be no double mindedness, ladies and gentlemen.
- 18:23Speaker 1: There's no place whatsoever for indecision. One has to either
- 18:30Speaker 1: believe the words of Jesus or they must reject the
- 18:37Speaker 1: words of Jesus. He is who he is, he is
- 18:45Speaker 1: who he claims to be, or he is not. There
- 18:54Speaker 1: is no in between. Ladies, jimen, you cannot placate. You cannot,
- 19:00Speaker 1: as some would do. For example, you know, and I
- 19:06Speaker 1: don't know. I can't say of an absolute certainty that
- 19:09Speaker 1: this is what the young man was doing when he
- 19:11Speaker 1: came to Jesus and said, good Master, you know, addressing
- 19:15Speaker 1: Jesus in that way. But listen, there is no flattering
- 19:19Speaker 1: of Jesus. By the way. Let me say this also,
- 19:23Speaker 1: while I'm a longest thought, I suppose there is nothing
- 19:29Speaker 1: that we can say or do to add to Jesus.
- 19:35Speaker 1: There's nothing that we can say or do to detract
- 19:39Speaker 1: or to take away from him. He is who he
- 19:45Speaker 1: is or he is not. It either is a reality
- 19:53Speaker 1: that he is the saving, that he is the Messiah,
- 19:55Speaker 1: that he is the Mediator, that he is God incarnate,
- 19:59Speaker 1: that he is the Christ, the anointed one, the appointed One,
- 20:04Speaker 1: the one prophesied of old, the one who was and
- 20:08Speaker 1: is and is to come, the Almighty. Either he is
- 20:12Speaker 1: or he is not. My preaching it, my regurgitating it,
- 20:19Speaker 1: my emphatically pounding it, if I do so, does not
- 20:26Speaker 1: make it so. Nor does the unbelief of the one
- 20:33Speaker 1: who does not believe it diminish from Jesus in any way.
- 20:41Speaker 1: I cannot make him God, I cannot make him the Savior.
- 20:45Speaker 1: I cannot know, nor can any arm. All of the
- 20:48Speaker 1: collective belief of all of the saints, of all of
- 20:52Speaker 1: those who profess to believe Jesus, all of our collective efforts,
- 20:59Speaker 1: all of our collective faith, does not add anything to
- 21:07Speaker 1: who he is. He either is who he has spoken
- 21:18Speaker 1: out of his own mouth he is well, he's not,
- 21:25Speaker 1: and he spoke it plainly, and he demonstrated it plainly,
- 21:31Speaker 1: and for anyone who saw, particularly those who saw, those
- 21:38Speaker 1: who witnessed. And that's why, by the way Jesus said,
- 21:41Speaker 1: many of those cities, many of those people that generation
- 21:44Speaker 1: will see the greater condemnation, because if the works done
- 21:49Speaker 1: in them had been done in Sodom Agamara, had been
- 21:52Speaker 1: done amen in the days of Noah the flood. Amen,
- 21:58Speaker 1: people would ever repair and cycle off and ashes. Jesus said,
- 22:03Speaker 1: but these people, amen. And now even now, by the
- 22:06Speaker 1: way to who much is given, much is required. We
- 22:10Speaker 1: have more information, more knowledge, more proof, more discoveries, we
- 22:17Speaker 1: have more access. We have more than we'll ever need.
- 22:22Speaker 1: And it just simply again comes down to this again,
- 22:31Speaker 1: this place where every man is. You are squarely on
- 22:35Speaker 1: one side or the other. You're either with Jesus or
- 22:40Speaker 1: you are against him. There is no in between, there
- 22:45Speaker 1: is no fence sitting if you will. The double minded man,
- 22:50Speaker 1: the Bible says, is unstable in all of his ways,
- 22:56Speaker 1: as recorded in many narratives in the Gospel. As we
- 23:00Speaker 1: have read in the text in John's Gospel. Here in
- 23:04Speaker 1: chapter twelve, Jesus once again makes a claim that must
- 23:10Speaker 1: be believed or it must be rejected. It cannot be both.
- 23:17Speaker 1: Jesus said, listen carefully again, He that believeth on me,
- 23:23Speaker 1: believeth not on me, brought on him that sent me.
- 23:31Speaker 1: That's not all that he said. He didn't stop there.
- 23:34Speaker 1: He goes on to say that he that seeth me,
- 23:39Speaker 1: if you see me, you are looking at the one
- 23:45Speaker 1: who sent me, who how many times does he have
- 23:51Speaker 1: to say it, I and my Father are one. I
- 23:55Speaker 1: am in the Father, the Father's in me. And if
- 23:59Speaker 1: you don't believe, believe me for the very work sake.
- 24:01Speaker 1: I mean, what more evidence? How many times does he
- 24:06Speaker 1: have to say it? He said, I am from above,
- 24:10Speaker 1: you are from beneath. I am from above. I came
- 24:13Speaker 1: down from heaven. I am the Son of God. I
- 24:19Speaker 1: am God in the flesh before Abraham was I am.
- 24:26Speaker 1: And the Jews understood perfectly what Jesus was saying when
- 24:31Speaker 1: he said that. The Bible said, they took up stones
- 24:33Speaker 1: to stone him because they understood that he was saying,
- 24:37Speaker 1: I am God. Now you have to again believe that,
- 24:49Speaker 1: or you have to reject it. But Jesus furthermore again
- 24:58Speaker 1: reminds them in the text that we were at that
- 25:01Speaker 1: he is the light that has come into the world.
- 25:07Speaker 1: Those who will believe in him as the light that
- 25:11Speaker 1: has come into the world, Jesus says, will not dwell
- 25:16Speaker 1: in darkness. Now, Jesus said, if you will hear my
- 25:21Speaker 1: words and believe them not, I will not judge you.
- 25:28Speaker 1: Now you listen again to that statement that Jesus said,
- 25:31Speaker 1: if you hear my words and believe them. Not I
- 25:35Speaker 1: will not judge you, because I have not come to judge.
- 25:43Speaker 1: But I came to save. I came to save you
- 25:46Speaker 1: with the words that I speak, because the words that
- 25:49Speaker 1: I speak are spirit, and they are life. I came
- 25:52Speaker 1: that you might have life. And if you will hear
- 25:55Speaker 1: my words and believe my words, you will have life.
- 26:02Speaker 1: Those who will hear my words and believe them, not
- 26:11Speaker 1: the one that will judge them, Jesus says, listen, is
- 26:18Speaker 1: the word that I have spoken to them. The words again,
- 26:26Speaker 1: that Jesus hath spoken is for the purpose of breathing
- 26:33Speaker 1: life into us. Man is not to live by bread alone.
- 26:40Speaker 1: You are to live by the word of God. The
- 26:46Speaker 1: word of God is life. And if you believe what
- 26:51Speaker 1: Jesus has spoken, you will have life. But if you
- 27:02Speaker 1: do not believe Jesus, and I'm not gonna judge you,
- 27:08Speaker 1: the one that will judge you is the word, the
- 27:15Speaker 1: word that I have spoken. Let me once again remind
- 27:21Speaker 1: you of if you give you one example, one quick example.
- 27:25Speaker 1: In the Gospel of Matthew, what is recorded from the
- 27:30Speaker 1: lips of Jesus at the conclusion of what we referred
- 27:33Speaker 1: to as the Sermon on the Mount Matthew's Gospel, Chapter seven,
- 27:39Speaker 1: verse twenty four. Now listen, Jesus has I mean a
- 27:44Speaker 1: sermon on the Mount from chapters five, six and seven,
- 27:51Speaker 1: a vast array of subject matters topics. If you will
- 27:58Speaker 1: great doctrine. Jesus spoke great doctrine again, words that will
- 28:07Speaker 1: give you life. If we hear them, believe them, receive them,
- 28:14Speaker 1: obey them. Live by them you have life. But if
- 28:20Speaker 1: you reject them, you have death. But listen what Jesus
- 28:24Speaker 1: says concerning all that he has been preaching and teaching.
- 28:29Speaker 1: Listen what he says therefore, verse twenty four. Whosoever heareth
- 28:35Speaker 1: these sayings of mind, the teachings, the doctrine, the word
- 28:42Speaker 1: that proceeded out of his mouth. Whoever hear my sayings,
- 28:50Speaker 1: my teachings, my word, and do with them. In other words,
- 28:56Speaker 1: obey them, Jesus says, I will liken him unto a
- 29:00Speaker 1: wise man which built his house upon a rock. The
- 29:07Speaker 1: rain descended, the floods came, the winds blew beat up
- 29:13Speaker 1: on that house, and it fell. Not why for it
- 29:19Speaker 1: was founded upon a rock. Now there are two distinct
- 29:26Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen classes. If you will of people types
- 29:31Speaker 1: of people, groups of people, however you want to say it.
- 29:35Speaker 1: In the world, you have those who hear and obey
- 29:43Speaker 1: and those who hear and reject. You're either in one
- 29:49Speaker 1: group of the other. You have the doors and the
- 29:55Speaker 1: ones who are disobedient. You're either a doer of the
- 29:59Speaker 1: world or you're one who disobeys the word. You're in
- 30:06Speaker 1: one group or the other. Now, none of us are perfect.
- 30:10Speaker 1: I'm not saying that everyone that's in the do the
- 30:13Speaker 1: word class is perfect. No, but we are forgiven, we
- 30:21Speaker 1: are covered. We have received mercy. All of us have
- 30:26Speaker 1: received mercy by the way, and we'll say by grace
- 30:30Speaker 1: through faith. It's not of ourselves. God is perfecting us.
- 30:33Speaker 1: He is taking us. He is by his spirit nurturing us,
- 30:39Speaker 1: perfecting us, working in us. And by his spirit he
- 30:44Speaker 1: speaks every every son. The Bible tells us, he chastens
- 30:50Speaker 1: and he brings us to obedience by his love and
- 30:54Speaker 1: his his again his correcting, by the Holy Spirit speaking
- 31:02Speaker 1: to us and working in us. Hey man, so again
- 31:07Speaker 1: you have the doers and the disobedient, one of the other.
- 31:15Speaker 1: The one who does the word, Jesus says, obeys it.
- 31:20Speaker 1: His house is built upon a rock, the rain will come,
- 31:23Speaker 1: the floods will come, the winds will blow and will
- 31:26Speaker 1: beat upon that house, and it will not fall. Why
- 31:29Speaker 1: because it's built upon the word of God. And then
- 31:35Speaker 1: Jesus goes on to say, everyone that hearth these things
- 31:39Speaker 1: of mine, and do with them not the disobedient shall
- 31:46Speaker 1: be liking unto a foolish man which built his house
- 31:51Speaker 1: upon the sand. The rain descended, the floods came, the
- 31:54Speaker 1: winds blew beat upon that house as well. Notice the similarities.
- 32:00Speaker 1: Everybody gets flooded, everybody gets when everybody gets rain, everybody's
- 32:11Speaker 1: house gets beat up on. Some will stand, the rest
- 32:20Speaker 1: will fall. What's the difference? What's the difference? Those who
- 32:23Speaker 1: hear the word build their house up under word, obey
- 32:28Speaker 1: the word. Their house will stand those who do not.
- 32:33Speaker 1: Now notice again, both groups hear the word. It is
- 32:40Speaker 1: not as though people have not heard. It is not
- 32:42Speaker 1: as though they have not known. What does the scripture say,
- 32:46Speaker 1: have they not known? Have they not heard? The difference? Again?
- 33:00Speaker 1: One house stands on the word, the other house stands
- 33:05Speaker 1: because there is no word. They rejected the word, they
- 33:11Speaker 1: didn't believe the word. And the Bible says Jesus said,
- 33:15Speaker 1: great is the fall of that house, the one that
- 33:23Speaker 1: will judge those who hear the word of Jesus, those
- 33:29Speaker 1: who hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Good News,
- 33:34Speaker 1: the Word of God that has been sent from Heaven,
- 33:36Speaker 1: that came down from Heaven by the way the Word
- 33:39Speaker 1: was made flesh, the Word by which we are commanded
- 33:44Speaker 1: to live. That word will judge, not Jesus. The Word
- 33:57Speaker 1: is the judge, you see, the living Word of God.
- 34:06Speaker 1: What God has spoken is inseparable from God. Again, Remember,
- 34:12Speaker 1: in the beginning was the word. The Word was with God,
- 34:16Speaker 1: and the Word was God, and the Word was made flesh.
- 34:20Speaker 1: And the Word has spoken, the Word has been preached,
- 34:24Speaker 1: the Word has been declared. The Word is what you
- 34:27Speaker 1: and I are to live by. And if you don't receive,
- 34:31Speaker 1: you don't believe, you don't obey the word. It is
- 34:38Speaker 1: the word Jesus says, that will judge you. This is
- 34:44Speaker 1: the condemnation. Jesus said earlier in the same Gospel of Judda.
- 34:47Speaker 1: And I'm closing here that light has come into the world.
- 34:53Speaker 1: But men prefer the darkness rather than the light, because
- 35:00Speaker 1: their deeds are evil. In the beginning was the Word.
- 35:08Speaker 1: In the end it will be the word of God,
- 35:15Speaker 1: the one that will judge. Father. We pray, may some
- 35:23Speaker 1: heart today be convicted by the word. Through the word,
- 35:28Speaker 1: hear the word, obey the word. Come to know that
- 35:32Speaker 1: you are the savior of all them that believe. May
- 35:37Speaker 1: their faith be increased. May they come under again the
- 35:41Speaker 1: conviction to know that they need the Savior. They need
- 35:47Speaker 1: the hope, they need the peace and the joy that
- 35:50Speaker 1: only you can provide. We pray it now, We believe
- 35:54Speaker 1: it now in Jesus' name. Amen and Amen.
