Speaker 1: Great is the Lord, greatly to be brave. From this
0:15
Speaker 1: time forth and even forever more. We're blessed and thankful
0:20
Speaker 1: as always to be counted among first and foremost the
0:23
Speaker 1: land of the Living and the redeemed of the Lord.
0:27
Speaker 1: Thank God that He has redeemed us by his precious blood,
0:30
Speaker 1: the blood of Jesus Christ, which cleanses us from all unrighteousness.
0:37
Speaker 1: We welcome you once again to this another edition of
0:40
Speaker 1: End Time Revival Ministries USA Podcasts. I am your host,
0:44
Speaker 1: Pastor al Zachary, and again we on this beautiful day
0:50
Speaker 1: that God has made, we give thanks to Him for
0:53
Speaker 1: all of his benefits, for all of his blessings that
0:55
Speaker 1: He's bestowed upon each and every one of us. Thank
0:58
Speaker 1: God for each and every one of you who pray
1:00
Speaker 1: for and support the work of this ministry. We pray
1:04
Speaker 1: God's blessings will forever be up on you, and we
1:08
Speaker 1: pray that God will Amen, strengthen you and keep you
1:11
Speaker 1: as only He can do by the power of His
1:15
Speaker 1: Holy Spirit. Amen. All right on today, we continue as
1:21
Speaker 1: we endeavor to always do, preach Jesus. Preach the truth
1:26
Speaker 1: in love, Speak the truth in love, walk in it,
1:29
Speaker 1: live by it, and certainly pray that God will, as
1:34
Speaker 1: he has promised to do, order our steps in him,
1:38
Speaker 1: guide our footsteps, lead us in that path of righteousness,
1:42
Speaker 1: in that plain path, in the old way, amen, the
1:46
Speaker 1: old landmark. Amen. We are not to remove the old landmark. Amen.
1:51
Speaker 1: But we are to walk in the way that God
1:54
Speaker 1: has a man established for us to walk as His people. Amen.
2:00
Speaker 1: And so today we continue, amen, all about Jesus. Amen.
2:05
Speaker 1: And we have been for the past several podcast episodes
2:09
Speaker 1: in the Gospel of John, and we continue there again today, Amen,
2:14
Speaker 1: as we take this intimate and close look at, amen,
2:18
Speaker 1: the life and ministry of Jesus, Amen, and what he
2:21
Speaker 1: has done for us his great sacrifice, certainly of course
2:27
Speaker 1: in giving himself, surrendering himself, Amen, so that we would
2:31
Speaker 1: have life, as he said, and have it more abundantly. So,
2:36
Speaker 1: if you have your bibles, I'm going to read of
2:38
Speaker 1: just a few verses from the Gospel of John, chapter thirteen,
2:41
Speaker 1: and then we will look at other passages, most notably
2:45
Speaker 1: also in John's First Epistle in just a few moments.
2:51
Speaker 1: But let's take just a quick moment as we open
2:55
Speaker 1: with a word of prayer. Father, again, thank you for
2:58
Speaker 1: this day. Thank you for the breath of life. Thank
3:00
Speaker 1: you for all of your benefits that you've bestowed on
3:03
Speaker 1: us so freely. Thank you for mercing you this morning.
3:06
Speaker 1: Thank you for being the faithful and just and ever
3:10
Speaker 1: present God, Emanuel, God with us, You never leave us,
3:15
Speaker 1: you never forsake us. Amen. So we have confidence and
3:18
Speaker 1: boldness in this day, in this time, and this season
3:21
Speaker 1: and this generation, in this world. Lord to a man,
3:24
Speaker 1: stand on your promises, stand on your word, and be
3:27
Speaker 1: faithful ambassadors of this great Gospel. Help us now. Bless
3:33
Speaker 1: us now, each and every listening, ear every obedient heart
3:37
Speaker 1: for your kingdom, for your glory and honor. We give thanks,
3:39
Speaker 1: Amen and Amen. All right. It is by the Love.
3:46
Speaker 1: It is by the Love is our title for today's
3:52
Speaker 1: Amen podcast. It is by the Love who will be
4:00
Speaker 1: the leader, who will be the greatest, who will sit
4:08
Speaker 1: next to Jesus. If you're familiar with the gospel accounts,
4:15
Speaker 1: you certainly perhaps are familiar with what these questions evolve around.
4:20
Speaker 1: But we'll get to that in just a moment. But
4:23
Speaker 1: I want to turn your attention to the Gospel of
4:26
Speaker 1: John chapter thirteen, verses thirty three to thirty five. Little Children,
4:32
Speaker 1: yet a little while this is Jesus speaking, I am
4:37
Speaker 1: with you. You shall seek me. And as I said
4:42
Speaker 1: unto the Jews, whether I go, you cannot come. So
4:47
Speaker 1: now I say to you a new commandment. I give
4:55
Speaker 1: unto you, that you love one another as I have
5:02
Speaker 1: loved you, that ye also love one another. By this
5:11
Speaker 1: shall all men know that ye are my disciples. If
5:18
Speaker 1: ye have love one to another. It is by love. Now,
5:33
Speaker 1: of course, the scene and the setting for this, and these,
5:39
Speaker 1: if you will, words of Jesus, being nearly the final
5:45
Speaker 1: words of him, before he would a man again be
5:51
Speaker 1: delivered up. The scene, of course, is in the Upper Room,
5:57
Speaker 1: at what we referred to as the Last Supper. A
6:00
Speaker 1: man the night before Jesus is to be betrayed, betrayed
6:06
Speaker 1: by one of his own, his own who had been
6:11
Speaker 1: following Jesus for three and a half years. A man
6:16
Speaker 1: he would be betrayed that night, a man into the
6:19
Speaker 1: hands of wicked men, the Jewish leaders, for the most part,
6:26
Speaker 1: who would finally get to see the death of the
6:29
Speaker 1: one who had been to them, at least in their
6:33
Speaker 1: carnally perverted minds. Jesus was an adversarial enemy who was
6:39
Speaker 1: worthy of death by any means. And again, if you're
6:43
Speaker 1: familiar with many of the gospel accounts where a man
6:49
Speaker 1: they wanted to kill, Jesus desired to and made valiant
6:56
Speaker 1: efforts to do so, but were unable to. But now
7:00
Speaker 1: was their hour. Now was the time when Jesus would,
7:04
Speaker 1: as it was appointed at this particular time for him
7:08
Speaker 1: through the prophecies of the Old Testament, a man. It
7:12
Speaker 1: was now time, and Jesus was surrendering to them. They
7:17
Speaker 1: didn't understand it. They didn't know what. They thought that
7:19
Speaker 1: they were taking him. They thought that they were capturing him.
7:22
Speaker 1: They thought they were in charge. They thought they were
7:26
Speaker 1: a man the powers to be. But nevertheless a man.
7:31
Speaker 1: We know that Jesus was surrendering and did rather surrender
7:36
Speaker 1: himself to them a man on this faithful night, Amen.
7:42
Speaker 1: And Jesus, by the way, we saw this in our
7:46
Speaker 1: last podcast. He had just demonstrated to his disciples the
7:52
Speaker 1: true meaning of servanthood, as he their lord and master,
7:58
Speaker 1: stooped down in humility as a slave in washing the
8:04
Speaker 1: feet of these disciples, who were, by the way, if
8:10
Speaker 1: you remember, and utter disbelief shock at what Jesus was
8:17
Speaker 1: doing to them in washing their feet, which of course,
8:23
Speaker 1: I remind you, was something that was left for the
8:30
Speaker 1: lowliest of servants or slaves to do. It was a
8:36
Speaker 1: practice that was in the ancient Middle East. Of course,
8:40
Speaker 1: they walked on dusty roads and wore sandals for the
8:43
Speaker 1: most part, and their feet would be a man dirty
8:47
Speaker 1: and dusty. And so when they entered into a house
8:50
Speaker 1: a man, it was good common and good manners, if
9:01
Speaker 1: you will, hospitality of the host to have the feet
9:06
Speaker 1: of his guests washed. But Jesus took on as he did,
9:12
Speaker 1: of course in later liielding himself up. He took on
9:18
Speaker 1: a man, the form of a servant, a slave, a man,
9:23
Speaker 1: and he stooped down, he humiliated as it were himself.
9:33
Speaker 1: And that's why Peter, when he caught to Peter, Peter said, Lord,
9:36
Speaker 1: you will never wash my feet. And the Lord said, Peter,
9:39
Speaker 1: if I don't wash it, you have no part with me, Amen.
9:43
Speaker 1: And Peter, of course Peter said, oh, not my head,
9:48
Speaker 1: not my feet only, Lord, but also my head and
9:50
Speaker 1: my hands. Washed me all over, washed me through and through. Amen.
9:57
Speaker 1: But again, at this moment, in this season, g this
10:00
Speaker 1: is spending these last hours with his disciples, these last moments,
10:04
Speaker 1: teaching them, these last moments imparting unto them, Amen, words, prophecies,
10:11
Speaker 1: things that were going to take place in the immediate
10:15
Speaker 1: few hours ahead, preparing their hearts for what was going
10:20
Speaker 1: to take place afterwards. Amen, as well. But prior to
10:25
Speaker 1: this time, right up into this very moment, if you will, literally,
10:31
Speaker 1: up to this very moment, who will be the leader,
10:34
Speaker 1: who will be the greatest, Who will sit next to Jesus.
10:40
Speaker 1: This is what the disciples have been discussing and debating
10:44
Speaker 1: among themselves. Amen. Two of them wanted to know, even
10:51
Speaker 1: brought their mother in on it. Who would sit at
10:55
Speaker 1: the right hand in the left hand of Jesus when
10:58
Speaker 1: he came into his king Them came into his glory.
11:01
Speaker 1: And though it is notable, and it is commendable by
11:05
Speaker 1: the way that the disciples were at least believing a
11:11
Speaker 1: man enough of what Jesus had spoken to them, and
11:14
Speaker 1: were convinced enough that there would be a kingdom, there
11:19
Speaker 1: would be the glory of Christ when he would come
11:22
Speaker 1: into his kingdom. Now, you got people in the church
11:25
Speaker 1: right now, supposedly, people in the church that are not
11:30
Speaker 1: looking forward to, not an expectation of, and not even
11:35
Speaker 1: believing that there will be a resurrection of the dead,
11:41
Speaker 1: that there will be a man, a kingdom of heaven
11:47
Speaker 1: that is not visible. Now they don't believe it. We
11:50
Speaker 1: got people in the church that don't. But at least
11:52
Speaker 1: I will at least say from this perspective that disciples
11:58
Speaker 1: were believing that there would be a man, a kingdom,
12:04
Speaker 1: a heaven, a glory, a man. That would a man
12:08
Speaker 1: come after this life? This was not all that there
12:11
Speaker 1: is a man to this life is Apostle Paul would
12:15
Speaker 1: later write, If in this life only we have hope,
12:19
Speaker 1: we are of all men most miserable. Amen. But there
12:22
Speaker 1: is so much more than Christ Jesus, our Lord and Savior,
12:25
Speaker 1: has in store for us. But however, this was not
12:30
Speaker 1: the time, nor was this the matter at hand for
12:34
Speaker 1: the disciples to be concerned with. Jesus in this again
12:39
Speaker 1: little time that he has left with his disciples, he
12:42
Speaker 1: has a man purposely decided to impress upon them what
12:48
Speaker 1: matters most of all, what is preeminent, and again, what
12:55
Speaker 1: matters above all else, as Jesus said and at we
13:00
Speaker 1: just read, is the love that we have one for another,
13:09
Speaker 1: and more specifically, by the way, it is the love
13:12
Speaker 1: that we display. Indeed, rather than in just words, alone
13:22
Speaker 1: Jesus again he had stated this. He did state this emphatically.
13:26
Speaker 1: I believe when he said that it is by this
13:31
Speaker 1: that all men know that you are my disciples, my followers,
13:41
Speaker 1: those who truly believe in me, Not those who follow
13:45
Speaker 1: me just for the fishes and the loves, Not those
13:47
Speaker 1: who follow me just for healing or miracle or a
13:52
Speaker 1: sign or wonder. No, no, no, it is by the
13:55
Speaker 1: love that you display, imonstrate, show one toward another, that
14:05
Speaker 1: will show to men, that will be on display to men,
14:10
Speaker 1: that would be for men to know, to discern that
14:14
Speaker 1: you are true disciples of mine. Now wearing a cross
14:22
Speaker 1: or a crucifix around the neck, it is fashionable, and
14:29
Speaker 1: it does indeed sin the message. I have no problem
14:34
Speaker 1: with it. Attending church regularly is noteworthy and commendable, and
14:45
Speaker 1: it should be done especially by the people of God. Amen,
14:51
Speaker 1: as the Bible tells us. All the more as we
14:54
Speaker 1: see the day approaching, Amen, the day of the Lord
14:59
Speaker 1: that will come, the giving of alms to the poor,
15:04
Speaker 1: obeying the laws of the land, all of that, it's honorable.
15:11
Speaker 1: It's commanded by the way of us as believers, as disciples,
15:19
Speaker 1: as followers of Jesus. But there is one command that
15:28
Speaker 1: demonstrates above all else that we are the true, real thing,
15:35
Speaker 1: the real disciples, not like Judas who betrayed him. Amen.
15:42
Speaker 1: But it is by the love that we have one
15:49
Speaker 1: for another. Now, there's a question that we're going to
15:52
Speaker 1: get to in First John. As a matter of fact,
15:53
Speaker 1: you can turn in the chapter number two of the
15:56
Speaker 1: same apostle, First John, chapter two. There's a question that
16:03
Speaker 1: I like to put forward. How can we say that
16:08
Speaker 1: we love God? This is in the scriptures. We're gonna
16:11
Speaker 1: read in it a moment. But how can we say
16:13
Speaker 1: that we love God and at the same time harbor
16:21
Speaker 1: hatred and resentment and malice in our hearts for our brother?
16:32
Speaker 1: First John two John who was there, who, by the way,
16:38
Speaker 1: was the disciple who was leaning on the breast of
16:41
Speaker 1: Jesus at this last supper. He was the disciple who
16:45
Speaker 1: described himself as the one that Jesus loved. He writes
16:50
Speaker 1: all about love. By the way he writes in his
16:52
Speaker 1: First Epistle, chapter two, verse seven. I begin reading there, brethren,
16:57
Speaker 1: he says, I write no new commandment unto you, but
17:01
Speaker 1: an old commandment which he had from the beginning. The
17:05
Speaker 1: old commandment is the word which you have heard from
17:12
Speaker 1: the beginning again a new commandment. I write unto you,
17:16
Speaker 1: which thing is true in Him and in you? Because
17:21
Speaker 1: the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.
17:27
Speaker 1: Now listen very carefully verse number nine. He that saith,
17:33
Speaker 1: he is in the light. In other words, if you
17:38
Speaker 1: say that you are saved, say that you are a believer,
17:43
Speaker 1: Say that you are a disciple, Say that you are
17:46
Speaker 1: a Christian, say that you are a saint of God.
17:53
Speaker 1: He that saith, he is in the light, and hateth
17:59
Speaker 1: his brother is in darkness even unto now. Now, how important,
18:09
Speaker 1: how critical, how crucial? In other words, is this command
18:14
Speaker 1: that we demonstrate our love one to another what John
18:18
Speaker 1: says without any ambiguity at all. If you profess to
18:24
Speaker 1: be in the light, that is in Jesus. Remember, Jesus
18:27
Speaker 1: is the light of the world. If we say that
18:29
Speaker 1: we are in the light and we hate our brother,
18:35
Speaker 1: John says that we are in darkness even until now.
18:42
Speaker 1: Verse ten. He that loveth his brother abidith in the light,
18:49
Speaker 1: and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. But
18:53
Speaker 1: he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh
18:59
Speaker 1: in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that
19:05
Speaker 1: darkness hath blinded his eyes. But ladies and gentlemen, he's
19:12
Speaker 1: not finished. When we go to chapter three, verse fifteen,
19:17
Speaker 1: whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer. And you know
19:24
Speaker 1: that no murderer hath eternal life abidying in him. He's
19:33
Speaker 1: still not finished. When we go to chapter four, verse seventeen,
19:38
Speaker 1: he says, herein is our love made perfected, or or
19:45
Speaker 1: made perfect? Brother, love has to be perfected, by the way.
19:50
Speaker 1: That's where I was jumping into, by the way, But
19:53
Speaker 1: the text says, here in is our love made perfect
19:57
Speaker 1: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment,
20:00
Speaker 1: because as He is, so are we in this world.
20:04
Speaker 1: There is no fear in love, but perfect love. And
20:11
Speaker 1: that's what we're supposed to have, the perfect love, the
20:14
Speaker 1: perfecting love of Christ in us in our hearts. Amen. Again,
20:20
Speaker 1: that is given to us by the Holy Ghost, by
20:22
Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit who works in us, who is also love.
20:28
Speaker 1: God is love, Jesus is love, The Holy Spirit is love.
20:32
Speaker 1: It is the love of God working in us. The
20:34
Speaker 1: Spirit of God a man, the very essence of who
20:37
Speaker 1: God is, what he's all about love in us. Amen.
20:46
Speaker 1: The Bible tells us there is no fear in love.
20:48
Speaker 1: We should not have the fear or a fear of showing,
20:53
Speaker 1: of demonstrating, of putting on display, or of letting out
20:59
Speaker 1: of if it's in us the real, true love, and
21:03
Speaker 1: by the way, one of the most difficult and I'm
21:06
Speaker 1: not going to harbor on this, but one of the
21:08
Speaker 1: most difficult things for many of us, even as saints
21:11
Speaker 1: of God, to do that demonstrates above I believe more
21:19
Speaker 1: than anything else. If we do this, ladies and gentlemen, forgiveness, forgiveness,
21:29
Speaker 1: That's what Jesus did. That's what his love was all about. Heymen,
21:34
Speaker 1: if we love one another, guess what we will forgive
21:40
Speaker 1: one another. As matter of fact, Jesus so emphasized that
21:42
Speaker 1: he said, if you don't forgive men their trespasses, neither
21:46
Speaker 1: will your heavenly Father forgive you your trespasses. It's not
21:51
Speaker 1: an option. And real love, the Bible tells us this
21:56
Speaker 1: same apostle John will cover a multitude of sins. That's
22:01
Speaker 1: what Jesus did in giving himself and shedding his blood. Amen.
22:09
Speaker 1: So Amen, How can we say that we love God
22:17
Speaker 1: and we don't show it With the brother the sister.
22:26
Speaker 1: There is no fear in love, perfect love, casting out fear,
22:32
Speaker 1: because fear hath torment. He that feareth. Are you afraid
22:38
Speaker 1: to love? Are you afraid that you're going to get
22:40
Speaker 1: hurt again, that you're gonna have to forgive again? Oh
22:48
Speaker 1: help us, Jesus, Help us, Oh help us, Jesus, Oh
22:52
Speaker 1: help us Jesus. Because fear hath torment, He that fearth
22:59
Speaker 1: is is not made perfect in love, we love him
23:06
Speaker 1: Verse nineteen, First John, chapter four. We love him who Jesus,
23:11
Speaker 1: the Lord, the Savior. We love him because he first
23:18
Speaker 1: loved us. If a man say here, it is here
23:24
Speaker 1: it is. If a man say I love God and
23:32
Speaker 1: hated his brother, listen to what the texts. Listen with
23:38
Speaker 1: the scriptures, listen to what the word of God says,
23:41
Speaker 1: he is a liar. Let me read it again. Verse twenty,
23:49
Speaker 1: first John, chapter four. If a man say I love
23:56
Speaker 1: God and hated his brother, he is a liar. For
24:04
Speaker 1: he that loveth not his brother, whom he hath seen?
24:10
Speaker 1: How can he love God whom he hath not seen?
24:19
Speaker 1: And this commandment have we from him? It came from Jesus.
24:26
Speaker 1: We read it at the very outset Jesus gave to
24:30
Speaker 1: the disciples. He said, a new commandment, Love one another.
24:36
Speaker 1: By this will all men know that you are my disciples.
24:41
Speaker 1: Indeed by the love, by the love, by the love.
24:47
Speaker 1: So this commandment, John says, have we from him, that
24:52
Speaker 1: he who loveth God love his brother. Also, as I
25:01
Speaker 1: said before, it is not what we say, but what
25:05
Speaker 1: we show. We can speak with the tongues of men
25:09
Speaker 1: and of angels. We can give all of our worldly
25:12
Speaker 1: goods to feed the poor. We can give our bodies
25:15
Speaker 1: to be burned, and it will profit us nothing if
25:20
Speaker 1: we do not have the real love of God in
25:27
Speaker 1: our hearts. And on that note we turn now to
25:31
Speaker 1: First Corinthians as we close, because this is in fact
25:35
Speaker 1: what the apostle Paul emphasized in this first letter that
25:39
Speaker 1: he wrote to the Corinthian Church, Verse number one, First
25:43
Speaker 1: Corinthians thirteen. Though I speak with the tongues of men
25:47
Speaker 1: and of angels, and have not charity, I am become
25:55
Speaker 1: as sounding brass or a tinkling symbol. And though I
26:01
Speaker 1: have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and
26:10
Speaker 1: all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that
26:17
Speaker 1: I could remove mountains and have not charity. I am nothing.
26:29
Speaker 1: And though I bestore all my goods to feed the poor,
26:35
Speaker 1: and though I give my body to be burned, and
26:41
Speaker 1: have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. Charity suffereth long
26:54
Speaker 1: and it's kind charity envi it not charity vaunteth not itself,
27:06
Speaker 1: is not puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh
27:14
Speaker 1: not her own, is not easily provoked. Thinketh no evil,
27:24
Speaker 1: rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth, beareth
27:34
Speaker 1: all things, believeth all things, hopeth, all things, endureth all things.
27:44
Speaker 1: Charity never faileth. Whether there be tongued or prophecies, they
27:55
Speaker 1: shall fail, they shall cease, whether they be knowledge, it
28:00
Speaker 1: shall vanish away. Now, ladies, jim, let me just again
28:07
Speaker 1: in closing, I hope you heard, and most of you
28:12
Speaker 1: perhaps are familiar with these attributes of real love. That's charity.
28:18
Speaker 1: Charity is love in action, not words. Action. John, by
28:24
Speaker 1: the way, on a very quick note, he said, if
28:27
Speaker 1: we see your brother, if we were to see our
28:30
Speaker 1: brother in need, and we shut up our bowels of compassion,
28:35
Speaker 1: he asked the question, how dwelleth the love of God
28:38
Speaker 1: in us. It's not words, it's not wearing symbols. It's
28:45
Speaker 1: demonstrating by our love that we are truly real disciples
28:54
Speaker 1: of Jesus. Charity suffers, long tolerates, in other words, puts
29:03
Speaker 1: up with others that we don't agree with, people who
29:09
Speaker 1: don't look like us, people who don't think like us.
29:12
Speaker 1: Charity is kind charity. The charity does not envy. Real
29:18
Speaker 1: love does not vaunt itself or seeks to bring attention
29:23
Speaker 1: to itself. It's not all about self egotistical. Charity is
29:29
Speaker 1: not jealous. Real love is not puffed up. There's no
29:38
Speaker 1: pride and arrogance and self seeking. It does not behave
29:43
Speaker 1: itself in an unseemly way. Charity or real love does
29:50
Speaker 1: not seek her own. It's always about someone else. It's
29:53
Speaker 1: about seeking the Bible's teachers of us of preferring your
30:00
Speaker 1: brother or your sister above yourself before yourself. Real love
30:09
Speaker 1: is not easily provoked. Doesn't mean that it's not provoked,
30:14
Speaker 1: but it's not easily provoked. Real love does not think
30:19
Speaker 1: on dwell on evil. Real love does not rejoice in iniquity,
30:27
Speaker 1: in sin, but it rejoices in the truth. Real love
30:35
Speaker 1: barreth all things, believes, hopes, endures, It's lasting, and it
30:45
Speaker 1: never fails. And now verse thirteen about it, faith, hope, charity,
30:58
Speaker 1: these three. But the great latest of these is charity.
31:06
Speaker 1: The greatest of these is love in action. Real love
31:13
Speaker 1: in action, just as it was demonstrated by Jesus, is
31:21
Speaker 1: what we, as His disciples, as His followers, as believers,
31:29
Speaker 1: as Christians, as saints of the Most High God, are
31:35
Speaker 1: to show as the proof or it is, to be
31:42
Speaker 1: on display as being true disciples. In a world that
31:49
Speaker 1: is blind to what real love is, we are to
31:56
Speaker 1: show it. It is. Ladies, John, by the Love Father,
32:05
Speaker 1: help us today to love, to forgive, to forbear, just
32:12
Speaker 1: as you have, Just as you did, just as you
32:15
Speaker 1: demonstrated in your great sacrifice. You stooped as the Master
32:22
Speaker 1: to wash the feet of the disciples. You gave yourself,
32:25
Speaker 1: You yielded yourself over to wicked hands, to cruel haters,
32:34
Speaker 1: demonstrating You're great love for us. And Lord, help us
32:39
Speaker 1: to be like you, to walk like you in this
32:43
Speaker 1: present world. And it begins in the house of the Lord.
32:48
Speaker 1: As we demonstrate our love one toward another. We prayed,
32:56
Speaker 1: we ask it in Jesus' name Amen and amen in
