Well, my prayer for this time and this message is that it will
0:05
bring warmth to our hearts, it will strengthen our faith, and
0:08
it will bring illumination to our minds.
0:11
My sincere desire is that it will enrich your relationship,
0:15
my relationship with the living Christ.
0:17
And we're going to do that prayfully by seeking to answer a
0:20
simple question. Why did Jesus come when he did?
0:27
Why did Jesus arrive in his first advent in that period that
0:32
we know to be 2000 years ago? Why not 500 years before?
0:38
Why not delayed until 2025? Why did Christ come when He did?
0:46
And we have to be humble in answering this question because
0:50
we may never receive a complete answer on this side of eternity.
0:53
That being said, the Scriptures does provide a remarkable
0:58
comment regarding this very reality.
1:01
And I want to invite you to turn with me in your Bibles in
1:03
Galatians, the book of Galatians, and see what Paul
1:06
says to these believers in chapter 4, verse 4, Galatians 4
1:13
verse 4, the great apostle by the Spirit writes, But when the
1:20
fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of
1:25
woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the
1:30
law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.
1:36
That phrase, the fullness of time, essentially means at the
1:41
perfect time, when everything was ripe at the best possible
1:46
moment, God sent his Son. And this concise statement is
1:52
enough to let us know that not only was the means of our
1:55
salvation prepared and planned from eternity past, but the
2:01
timing of it was also carefully calculated.
2:06
And though again, we may not know all the reasons why, I
2:09
believe that there are indications in the Scriptures
2:13
that allow us to catch glimpses of God's wisdom pertaining to
2:17
the first advent of the Messiah. And I believe there are at least
2:22
three perspectives, 3 dimensions to this.
2:26
There is a spiritual one, there's a political, and there
2:31
is a cultural. And regarding the first, we
2:36
actually have the answers in this very same book, in the book
2:40
of Galatians. And so I want us to just
2:41
meditate on these things together.
2:43
And again, I pray that it would do something in your view of
2:46
God's wisdom and glory and majesty.
2:49
So let's consider these things separately.
2:51
What was going on spiritually for God to send his Son when he
2:55
sent him? But we have to step back and ask
2:58
ourselves this question. What is the main purpose of the
3:00
book of Galatians? It's very plain.
3:04
Paul is writing to these Christians in that region of
3:07
Galatia because they were being seduced by Jewish false teachers
3:11
who were trying to persuade them that there needed to be an
3:14
adherence to the law in order to attain salvation, namely
3:18
circumcision. And so, yes, these Christians
3:22
believe that Christ died on the cross, but you, you have to
3:24
understand there's much more history than that.
3:28
There are other components that you must comply with and must
3:32
observe in order for you to really secure with your
3:34
relationship with God. And so Paul writes to this group
3:40
of believers and this treaties really is is him educating these
3:45
Christians that the law serves no redemptive purpose, that the
3:52
law instead serves a different role.
3:54
And he explains it essentially it boils down to this, that that
3:59
the law is meant to convince you, not that you need to
4:02
observe these things in order for you to be made righteous,
4:05
but to convict you about your lack of righteousness.
4:10
And that no matter your efforts, no matter your attempts, you
4:12
will never be able to win your own redemption.
4:17
And so the law, Paul says, is meant to persuade you and
4:21
prepare you to be ready to accept Christ from the
4:26
understanding as you stand it before the mirror of God's
4:30
righteousness and holiness. I I cannot win my holiness.
4:36
It must be outside of me. It must be an alien
4:39
righteousness. And Paul says in many ways, look
4:43
back at Galatians chapter 3, verse 23.
4:47
He says now before faith came, we were held captive under the
4:51
law. In other words, the law didn't
4:53
liberate you had arrested you, had apprehended you.
4:56
And he goes on to say in prison until the coming faith would be
5:01
revealed. So then the law was our guardian
5:05
until Christ came in order that we might be justified by faith.
5:10
It's so straightforward, isn't it?
5:12
But how does this tie into the idea of Christ being sent the
5:15
fullness of time? How do those things relate well
5:20
in the mind of God? It was at that moment where the
5:25
law served its full purpose and Christ was ready to enter into
5:30
our world. In other words, the Old
5:34
Testament stands as an overwhelming historical record
5:39
of humanity, namely Israel's inability to keep the law
5:42
completely and consistently. And that wasn't a matter of 2030
5:47
or 100 years. It was centuries upon centuries
5:50
of documented unfaithfulness. So with the whether there are
5:57
many or few in the nation, it didn't matter.
5:59
With or without judges, kings or prophets, it made no difference.
6:03
You see, the Lord allowed the law to remain in effect for a
6:08
certain period of time in order to build a case against Adam's
6:11
race so that when it would be studied and when it would be
6:16
examined, and this one is completely delusional or filled
6:21
with pride, they would see and understand we can't do this.
6:28
The law has condemned us over and over and over again.
6:31
No matter what chapter of Israel's existence you look at,
6:36
they fail, they fall short. And in God's perfect knowledge,
6:44
He allowed this to unfold throughout the centuries in
6:49
order to establish again a case that would be irrefutable, that
6:54
Israel's history was not merely meant to humble them.
6:58
No, the Saint Paul who wrote this actually tells us that
7:02
this, this Old Testament, these Hebrew Scriptures, was meant to
7:07
stand against all of mankind as a testimony.
7:12
You know these verses very well. Let me remind you of them in
7:14
Romans 319. Paul says, Now we know that
7:19
whatever the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law,
7:23
so that every mouth may be stopped and the whole world may
7:27
be held accountable to God. For by works of the law no human
7:31
being will be justified in his sight, since through the law
7:34
comes knowledge of sin. So hold on for a moment, how is
7:38
the whole world held accountable to God if the law primarily
7:43
speaks to those who are under the law?
7:45
Who are those who are primarily under the law?
7:47
The Jewish people. Well, here's one way this works.
7:52
If Israel, who enjoyed privileges and revelation and
7:57
first hand encounters with God, could not meet the demands that
8:02
God placed on them the the moral requirements, what chance do the
8:07
neighboring nations have who are outside of that covenant?
8:11
In other words, if any Gentile were to read the the Hebrew
8:13
scriptures and see look at the the awesome glory that was
8:18
granted to this one people. And yet they continually turn
8:22
their back on this God. What opportunity do we have?
8:26
What chance do we have? The answer is they don't.
8:34
God's wisdom shows here that Israel's long history of
8:37
failures, despite their unique advantages advantages, stands
8:40
out as an irrefutable argument against humanity as a whole.
8:45
And This is why it was the perfect time, because when
8:49
Christ came, the Lord essentially declared the law has
8:52
served its goal. My case has been made.
8:56
Anyone who looks back at humanity's history will see
8:59
clearly that mankind cannot save itself and needs a Redeemer.
9:06
This is the spiritual component. But we have to all understand
9:09
that there is a political element to this as well, because
9:13
the one who is sovereign over time is also sovereign over
9:16
kingdoms and empires. That should cause us then to
9:23
realize that Christ being born when the Roman Emperor and the
9:28
Roman Empire was at its peak of dominance was not an
9:33
afterthought in God's redemptive plan.
9:36
It was just as much a part of the whole plan than anything
9:40
else. And what you find so
9:43
fascinatingly is that the policies and the achievements
9:46
and the authority of this ancient government significantly
9:49
influenced gospel events that we may have overlooked and we find
9:54
it in the Bible. Let me give you one example.
9:59
In Luke chapter 2, verse one, it reads, in those days a decree
10:03
went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be
10:06
registered. This was the first registration
10:09
when Crenius was governor over Syria and all went to be
10:13
registered, each to his own town.
10:14
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of
10:17
Nazareth to Judea, to the city of David, which is called
10:20
Bethlehem, because he was at the House of the lineage of David to
10:23
be registered with Mary, his betrothed, who is with child.
10:27
So here's Caesar Augustus, who did much for the Roman Empire,
10:32
but in this case he calls for a worldwide decree.
10:35
And that became the means to orchestrate and position Mary
10:40
and Joseph to be where Christ needed to be born.
10:45
Now 1 might ask, well, did it require all of that?
10:50
Couldn't Joseph and Mary just make their way towards Bethlehem
10:53
on their own that they need all of this?
10:57
Not necessarily. But there is wisdom even and how
11:01
this event transpired. Think about it, if Mary and
11:06
Joseph would have just made their way back to Bethlehem,
11:10
some could have criticized them of maybe manipulating events,
11:15
maneuvering things in order to force prophecy to happen.
11:19
Instead, when we see how this took place through the extensive
11:22
rule of Caesar Augustus, the Holy Spirit shows us how God,
11:27
God was the one who moved the world in order to bring his Son
11:30
where he needed to be born. Now, Cesar Augustus is
11:36
historically known for much more than what we find here in
11:39
issuing the census. He is credible with what is
11:42
known as the Pax Romana, which simply means in Latin, Roman
11:47
peace. It was a period of 200 years of
11:50
general peace and stability in the Roman Empire following
11:52
decades of war, and all began with Cesar Augustus.
11:57
He expanded Rome's dominance with an iron fist, and because
12:04
of this, there was a unique period of relative tranquility.
12:08
There was calm, and now efforts were focused on things like
12:11
trade and sophisticated infrastructure like building
12:14
roads, and that created ripple effects of prosperity and
12:18
societal flourishing. And things like this not only
12:24
made travel easier and made the world a little bit safer,
12:28
communication now was much more accessible and convenient.
12:32
And when you consider what it did to the world at the time,
12:34
you have to understand how it accelerated and even protected
12:38
the spread of the gospel, how apostles would communicate with
12:42
these different churches, how these missionaries would be able
12:46
to go from place to place with greater ease and access.
12:52
I'm afraid there's a misconception among some
12:54
Christians who think that Rome was the church's fiercest enemy
12:58
from the beginning. The Bible suggests otherwise.
13:04
If you actually read carefully in the New Testament, you'll
13:06
you'll realize that there are there are other enemies at the
13:10
forefront before the church. Think about Pilate.
13:14
Was he the one who was hunting down Jesus?
13:17
No, he was pressured by the Jewish religious leaders and in
13:21
the book of Acts, who kept trying to stumble and attack and
13:26
bribe against and slander the church.
13:29
Was it wrong? No, it was the Jews again.
13:34
In fact, Rome paid little attention to the Church.
13:36
They were very neutral. They were being presented cases
13:40
again by the Jews who wanted to try to stop the momentum of this
13:45
Christian movement and instead we actually find the widespread
13:52
persecution from the Romans would come decades later.
13:55
God used them without their knowledge in His sovereignty to
13:59
actually protect and preserve the church.
14:03
In many ways that sounds shocking, but it's true that the
14:07
Lord used this massive empire to actually play a role in
14:12
incubating and safeguarding and not allowing those who had a
14:18
vehement hatred for Christ and His people to gain victory.
14:24
And you see that especially in the ministry of the apostle
14:26
Paul. Paul was arrested on many
14:29
occasions, but one of his most significant arrests was near the
14:32
end of the account of the book of Acts.
14:34
He was in Jerusalem. He was in the temple.
14:38
And the Jews who saw him there says, this is our chance.
14:41
This is the blasphemer. This is the one who has been
14:43
winning so many to this to this Christ.
14:47
Let's get him. And so there was a mob attack
14:49
and they nearly killed him. But who intervened?
14:52
The Roman tribune, they stopped the scuffle, they rescued Paul,
14:56
they brought him to the side, and they put him in the barracks
15:00
for a short amount of time. And while he was tucked away, we
15:05
learn in the Book of Acts that Paul's nephew learned about a
15:09
plot to assassinate Paul, that they even vowed, they even
15:13
fasted until this was accomplished.
15:16
So what does he do? Well, he goes to the tribune and
15:19
he tells him and informs him of the scheme.
15:23
Listen, they're going to ask you to bring Paul out at a council
15:25
meeting so that they can interrogate him.
15:27
But in reality, there's going to be an ambush.
15:29
Don't let it happen. And I want you to see what the
15:33
Roman officials did for Paul. Listen to these words in Acts
15:37
23, verse 23. Then he in Acts 2323, that is
15:43
the tribune. Then he called two of the
15:46
centurions and said get ready. 200 soldiers with 70 horsemen
15:52
and 200 spear men to go as far as Caesarea at the third hour of
15:57
the night. Also provide mounts for Paul to
15:59
ride and bring him safely to Felix the governor.
16:03
Wow, that is one impressive convoy for a preacher, wouldn't
16:07
you say? And my favorite part isn't even
16:11
the hundreds of soldiers surrounding this one man.
16:13
It's how they'd even let him walk.
16:16
They put him on a horse. Why did they go so far for this
16:20
man? Why this level of security?
16:23
Was it because he was a Christian?
16:26
Was it because he was educated? Was it because he was famous?
16:32
I don't think so. I believe we actually get the
16:35
answer in the same account. I believe actually what we're
16:38
about to see is a turning point in Paul's experience of this
16:41
life and death situation. Listen to these words.
16:44
This is earlier in Acts 22. In Acts 2224, the Tribune
16:50
ordered him to be brought into the barracks, saying that he
16:53
should be examined by flogging. Do you want flogging in tales
16:59
very similar to what Jesus experienced before he was
17:01
crucified? This would have been brutal.
17:02
This would have destroyed Paul. So they were ready to flog him,
17:07
to get some answers out of him. Notice what it says to find out
17:10
why they were shouting against him like this.
17:13
But when they had stretched them out for the whips, Paul said to
17:16
the centurion who was standing by, Is it lawful for you to flog
17:19
a man who is a Roman citizen and uncondemned?
17:24
When the centurion heard this, he went to the tribune and said
17:27
to him, What are you about to do for this man as a Roman citizen?
17:30
So the tribune came and said to him, Tell me, are you a Roman
17:33
citizen? And he said, yes.
17:35
The tribune answered, I bought this citizenship for a large
17:38
sum, Paul said, But I am a citizen by birth.
17:43
So those who are about to examine and withdrew from him
17:45
immediately. And the tribune also was afraid,
17:48
for he realized that Paul was a Roman citizen and that he had
17:51
bound him. What do you find repeated in
17:55
this passage? 2 words Roman citizen.
17:59
Now, undoubtedly the main source for Paul's protection is God's
18:04
preserving grace, sometimes manifested miraculously.
18:10
But that same power that hovered over Paul sometimes, yes, came
18:15
supernaturally, but also more commonly, was a providential
18:18
reality. And one of the providential
18:21
means for Paul to be protected was his citizenship.
18:27
Can you imagine that Roman citizenship was the very reason
18:32
the apostle of the Gentiles was not killed by the Jews, at least
18:35
at this point? And it happened more than once
18:37
where he had to appeal to his civil rights and he could thank
18:44
God for the protection that it afforded him.
18:48
And it makes me wonder if that thought crossed his mind at all
18:51
when he penned those words to the Galatians for the fullness
18:55
of time. God sent his Son that at the
18:58
best time for the gospel, that in a moment when it was most
19:02
profitable for the good news, God manifested the truth of who
19:06
He is to the world. Paul experienced that first
19:09
hand. Yes, because of his Savior
19:12
ultimately, but how God in his great power move through things
19:17
like this that we don't often think about.
19:20
Which makes me want to say one more thing before we come to our
19:23
final thought. Paul didn't just know the
19:25
Scriptures. Paul understood his rights as a
19:31
citizen who lived under an ungodly empire.
19:35
For what purpose? To the advantage of the
19:38
proclamation of the gospel. You know, some here might
19:43
criticize Paul. Some who are in Paul's position
19:45
might have just taken the flogging.
19:48
Paul didn't do that. He was much more wise and
19:50
strategic than that. He understood that this would
19:53
not help the cause of the gospel, it would hinder it.
19:56
And so he opened his mouth and he spoke up, and he utilized the
19:59
freedoms that he understood and enjoyed for the sake of the
20:03
gospel. May we do the same in the land
20:05
that we live in this day. May we not be foolish
20:09
Christians. May we understand that even in
20:12
this we can see God's grace extended to the church and the
20:17
world. But we come to a cultural
20:21
component to all of this. Again, we're trying to answer
20:23
the question, what was it about the timing of Christ's first
20:27
advent that was full, that was just right?
20:31
Well, long before Rome became an empire, Greek culture and
20:35
language had spread across the eastern Mediterranean due to the
20:39
conquest of Alexander the Great. And because of that Young's
20:42
man's ability and power and authority, the Greek language
20:48
was the common language and it was so deeply rooted in society
20:54
that when Rome took over, they adopted it.
20:57
They didn't seek to erase it. They integrated with it.
21:01
And as a result, it became the lingua franca, the shared
21:03
language across most of the eastern region.
21:09
And so if you want to think about what kind of influence
21:11
that had in Jesus time, just think about the influence of
21:14
modern English today. That is the the most used and
21:19
common way of communication among people.
21:24
And in the same way, Greek played such a significant role
21:27
in that ancient world, the time of the apostles.
21:30
And that's why the apostles wrote the New Testament in
21:32
Greek, because they wanted to have the furthest reach possible
21:36
with the message. They didn't want to limit
21:38
themselves with Hebrew or Aramaic.
21:42
And that's what we see here, that even in this small detail,
21:48
God understood that when one language dominated and spread
21:52
across the world. I'm going to send my son.
21:56
I'm going to send forth the Messiah.
21:58
Because God is not only sovereign over time, He's not
22:00
only sovereign over kingdoms and empires, but even over cultural
22:04
developments and the course of systems of communication over
22:07
time. Let me give you one final
22:11
example before we close together again.
22:14
We can miss this if we fail to meditate on the implications of
22:19
some of the details that were granted in the Bible.
22:22
We're we're we're recognizing the birth of the Messiah.
22:24
Let me take you to his death for a moment and listen to these
22:29
words in John 19 verse 19. This is our final scripture.
22:36
Pilate also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross.
22:40
It read Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.
22:44
Many of the Jews read this inscription.
22:46
For the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and
22:50
it was written in Aramaic, in Latin, and in Greek.
22:57
So the chief priest of the Jews said to Pilate, do not write the
23:00
king of the Jews, but rather this man said, I am the king of
23:04
the Jews. Pilate answered What I have
23:08
written, I have written it was customary for anyone who was
23:14
crucified by the Romans to have a plaque above their heads on
23:17
the cross stating their crime. When Pilate had Christ
23:23
crucified, you remember he could find no wrongdoing in the man.
23:29
So there was no there was no wrongdoing to inscribe.
23:32
So what does he do? He boldly writes what we just
23:34
read, Jesus of Nazareth, the king of the Jews.
23:41
But interestingly, John tells us that Pilate did so in three
23:44
different languages. Why?
23:48
Well, it's not because he believed it.
23:51
It's because he wanted to irritate the Jews who pressured
23:53
him to kill this man, and he could have just limited it to
23:59
their native tongue. But no, no, no, I'm going to
24:03
translate this to the most used and understood languages of my
24:08
time. You have to remember that Jesus
24:12
was crucified during what feast? The Passover.
24:14
What did that mean? Thousands from across the world
24:17
were in Jerusalem, from different parts of the world.
24:22
And so in the ESV, we learned that he wrote in Aramaic.
24:26
Some translators might say Hebrew, the language that the
24:30
Jews knew, but he also had it written in Latin.
24:34
Why? Because that was the official
24:35
language of of Rome, especially among the elite.
24:39
And finally, he writes it in Greek because as we just heard,
24:43
it was a common language of the culture.
24:47
Now, as we just saw, the Jewish leaders were absolutely
24:51
frustrated and angered by this. And so they demand, no, no, no,
24:58
no, don't write the king of the Jews, but that he claimed to be
25:03
the king of the Jews. Why?
25:06
Because they understood something that as his people,
25:09
tradesmen and travellers and pilgrims would cross this site,
25:15
they would read the sign and they could it could create
25:18
curiosity to the masses. King of the Jews crucified.
25:26
More than that, there could have been fear on the part of these
25:29
leaders that this could instigate something and that
25:33
higher Roman officials would look into this as there's a
25:37
claim to kingship apart from Caesar.
25:41
And so they tried to again pressure Pilot to do their
25:44
bidding, and he refused. What I have written, I have
25:50
written. I don't see Pilot's authority in
25:56
this story. I see God's sovereignty.
26:00
Why though? This man was mocking Christ and
26:05
tried to spite these Jewish leaders.
26:08
Unknowingly, he was declaring one of the most powerful truths
26:12
to the entire world. Because you have to understand,
26:15
people would take what they saw and bring it back home, share it
26:18
with their friends, discuss it with their families, and who
26:22
knows what that would open in their minds and in their hearts.
26:28
And so here you have Pilot giving a gospel truth in seed
26:35
form. And what would that do?
26:39
Who knows, but I think it played somewhat of a role as Christ is
26:45
ready to die, race from the grave, ascend and then
26:50
commissioned his church to preach the full gospel, perhaps
26:54
to some who few days weeks ago read the sign Jesus of Nazareth,
27:01
King of the Jews crucified, the fullness of time.
27:08
God sent his son and you and I just got a sample on this
27:12
Christmas Eve just how profound our God is, just how brilliant
27:17
he is. But let me end by telling you
27:20
just how gracious he is because the same one who oversaw and
27:27
Superintendent over all these details tells us in his word.
27:32
Now is the favorable time. Today is the day of salvation,
27:40
and it could be that you're in this place tonight, as Pastor
27:45
Mark mentioned, out of tradition.
27:48
Maybe this is very nostalgic to you, but Christ is not real to
27:54
you and you have never personally and consciously and
27:57
intentionally turned your attention towards Him and
28:01
confessed your sin and received His saving grace.
28:07
And what you just heard in this last 30 minutes is a very brief
28:11
explanation of all that God went through in order to win your
28:15
heart, in order to redeem your soul, in order to cleanse you
28:20
from all unrighteousness and to deem you as holy in the sight of
28:25
God. And what He asks of you in this
28:29
moment is to acknowledge that you are indeed a Sinner, that if
28:34
you compare yourself to God's righteousness, you have
28:37
absolutely no chance of winning any case pertaining to your
28:44
redemption. And yet you would not live in a
28:48
moment of despair, but recognize that provision has been made in
28:52
the person of Jesus Christ. Let me just speak as plain as
28:55
possible in closing. You need your sins to be
28:59
forgiven. You and I stand condemned before
29:03
a holy God, but Christ is the payment for our sin.
29:09
And if you would just humble yourself and recognize who He is
29:13
and what He has done, not only would your life today be
29:17
transformed, but you will have the hope of everlasting life.
29:22
All is required of you is an admission of the sin that placed
29:26
Christ on the cross and a recognition that only He can
29:30
forgive you completely. And the only thing I'll leave
29:34
you with is this. If you're hesitant to accept it,
29:38
ask yourself why. Why?
29:42
Why would you deny a free gift like this?
29:46
Why would you turn your back on a love so great and so powerful?
29:54
Ask yourself and I pray that that introspection would lead
29:58
you to not just asking why, but asking Christ to save you.
30:06
He is ready to do it. You know, this time is very
30:08
meaningful to me personally, not because I get to be with family
30:11
and be with my church family because it was around this time
30:14
14 years ago as a 20 year old man that I came to Christ.
30:19
That's why these services are very meaningful to me, because
30:21
you, you don't know who might trickle in.
30:26
For me, my brother and a dear friend, it was around this time
30:30
leading up to New Year's. We were so unsatisfied with the
30:33
world separate from one another, yet Christ dealing with us in
30:36
the same way. And all it took was an
30:40
invitation, at least for my brother and my dear friend, to a
30:43
service like this around this time, to hear a brief message
30:47
about the gospel and their lives to be transformed forever.
30:51
And in my case, it was very similar, except I didn't go to
30:53
church. They couldn't even get me to go
30:55
to church, but I was bothered enough by my sin to at least
31:02
read my Bible as a New Year's resolution.
31:06
And God spoke to me through that, and I've never recovered.
31:12
And I'm here telling you that you can know that same joy and
31:16
treasure in Christ if you just seek Him just the way you are.
31:23
He waits for you. Let's pray together.
31:33
Lord, Your word is indeed Your voice, and we've heard it loud
31:37
and clear, and again we ask that it would do only what it can do,
31:43
and that is convict hearts, comfort hearts, renew hearts.
31:49
Lord, we yield to you and we just come now to sing to You in
31:52
our Thanksgiving for what You have done, for those who are
31:56
saved, remembering their redemption.
31:58
For those who are not, perhaps tonight would be the night that
32:02
they can taste and see that the Lord is good.
32:06
We've done our part, Lord. We've sang the songs, we've
32:08
given the message, but only you can transform, and we give you
32:11
all the glory for that in Jesus name, Amen.
32:15
Why don't we stand? Let's worship the living Christ
32:17
together.
