Surprising Faith

Transcript

Would turn with me to the Gospel According to John, chapter 12. The gospel according to John, chapter 12. And when you found John 12, would you stand with me for our reading of the Gospel this morning? I thought for a moment that Deborah was going to break out into preaching, which I would have loved to have seen. She started already preaching some of the message this morning, which tells me hopefully I'm on the right track here.

00:00:30

So sometimes it starts talking about surprises. Sometimes I'm surprised at the direction things goes. All right, notice these words as found in John, chapter 12. You may notice, by the way, you know, during. During year C, which is what we're in liturgically, is focused on the Gospel of Luke.

00:00:52

However, here's a reading from John, because if you remember, throughout all three years of the church cycle, there are John readings. And so notice this one. This is another powerful one and one that is for us this morning. Notice these words, John 12, starting with verse 1. Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, the home of Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.

00:01:21

There they gave a dinner for him. Martha served, and Lazarus was one of those at the table with him. Mary took a pound of costly perfume made of pure nard, anointed Jesus feet, and wiped them with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, the one who was about to betray him, said, why was this perfume not sold for 300 denarii and the money given to the poor?

00:01:59

He said this not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief. He kept the common purse and used to steal what was put into it. Jesus said, leave her alone. She bought it so that she might keep it for the day of my burial. You always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me.

00:02:23

So Lord Jesus, help us this morning as we look into your word. We pray that you would illumine our minds and direct our paths and our hearts upward to you. We pray in your name. Amen. And you can be seated.

00:02:45

Well, today, like previous Sundays, I would like to try and tie together all four of our readings. As you know, every Sunday we have typically an Old Testament reading, a Psalter reading reading from the Psalms, and then an Epistle or New Testament reading, sometimes from Acts, then a Gospel reading. And so it's always kind of a fun puzzle to put together to try to figure out how in the world you know, our Old Testament reading, which I'll remind you of here in just a moment, fits together at all with this story of Jesus in a house in Bethany right before Palm Sunday, by the way. So he's a week out from Palm Sunday, and guess what? So are we.

00:03:32

So this is apropos for us. And I believe the Lord has a word for us, and he has for me, even just this past week. And so. But where I want to begin is this. Have you ever longed for something new in your life?

00:03:49

Of course, it's almost a rhetorical question for all of us, because all of us want something new. We watch someone, for instance, get a new phone, and we look at ours and it's got cracks all over the string. And then we wonder, man, wouldn't it be nice to have a new phone, right? Or perhaps your car breaks down or you have car trouble. And like, I've experienced a lot in my life, for whatever reason here recently.

00:04:11

And you wonder and look over there and say, man, they never have any problems with that car. You know, I wish I had that car or a new car so I wouldn't have these problems. And we don't even think about the bill that comes with that, right? Have you ever looked for something new? Have you ever just wanted.

00:04:28

Sometimes even just things are going well. You ever notice this? And something about us is just like, you know, I don't know. I just kind of bored with the way things are. And sometimes people blow their lives up in those moments, don't they?

00:04:41

They try to do something new. They go out and get themselves in debt or get themselves in a new relationship. They start scrolling for things that they shouldn't be. There's something about our human nature that's not satisfied with things of this world, right? I mean, that's really what's at stake.

00:05:01

We really boil it down. And our desires are never satisfied. No matter how many things we might get, it's never enough. Somebody always has some other thing that we don't have, or they have it in a different way than we have it, and we want more. We continue to work, for instance.

00:05:24

You know, probably all of us have thought to ourselves, if I had $400 billion, I wouldn't be working, right? Everybody's like, yes, but actually if you did, you would. It's kind of like retirement. Now, listen, I'm no expert at retirement just yet. Maybe one day, perhaps never, but maybe one day.

00:05:46

But some of you have retired, and I've heard your story, and I've heard other retirement people's story, and it's all the same. I saw it in my grandparents as well. They retired and got busy Isn't that crazy? They retired and got busy. And the retired people say amen.

00:06:04

Right now it's busy. Not necessarily making money for some company, but you get busy. Busy with grandkids, busy with serving, busy with things in the house, busy with your health sometimes, right? It takes time to keep up with that. It really does.

00:06:23

And so you don't get bored in this life if you just really look around, which is why it's so ridiculous when kids do say, I'm bored, right? Because there's no reason to be bored in life, truly. There's so much to think about, so much that could be. And yet we have this myopic, nearsighted view of things. I just want this one thing.

00:06:45

And that leads us then to another and another. What we need to allow it to do is lead us up, up, up, as Paul says to that upward calling, the highest calling, which is Christ Jesus himself. And so rather than getting jaded and stale and boring, no matter if you're young or if you're old today, we all find ourselves sometimes wanting something new. And you know, what I want to say is that's okay, because God is a God, that his mercies are, guess what? New every morning.

00:07:22

Every morning, every day is a new day for us. It's not an old one. It's a new one. And we need to embrace that, and we need to begin to live into that. And, like, where I hope is with a bright hope of a new day, with this understanding that for us Christians, the best is yet to come.

00:07:45

And we can say that whether we're down in the dumps in the valley where we can't see anything and it's dark, or we're up on the mountaintop today, flying high, we can still say the best is yet to come. Now, how can we get there? Well, Isaiah 43 helps us. You remember, we just read it here briefly. And essentially what he says is, look, you made a way in the sea.

00:08:07

That's what Deborah was getting excited about. She got blessed by this. Like, what do we mean? You bring your problem to God, but he made a way in the sea. Like a dry path, actually.

00:08:17

Who's made a road like that? Well, God did, and he pushed back the waters to do it. And he remembers this Psalm 43. But then he gives us a warning that I find fascinating. He says, yeah, that was cool.

00:08:33

You know, the Exodus was really neat. He said, but don't look back at that. Let's move on. In other words, there's not going to be another Exodus. I'M not going to do it in the same way.

00:08:45

Now, as, you know, humans look for principles and patterns in life. It's just what we do, right? I mean, you may even notice in your car, you're just like, oh, yeah, you know, if you drive my car, remember, there's going to be this little bumping noise or whatever because you just automatically sort of. We automatically put things in patterns. If you get up to 60 miles an hour, you're going to feel a wobble, you know, I mean, it just happens.

00:09:08

I got a bad tire or something, right? Like, we look for patterns. This is what education is based on, in fact, our patterns, okay? To be able to understand something, we have to have these. We have to uncover these forms or these patterns or principles, right?

00:09:22

That then we can base things on. But I'd like to submit that with God, he's not bound to patterns or principles. He actually is above them. He's above them, which is why when he comes in the room, miracles begin to happen. New ways are opened up.

00:09:45

In fact, he puts it this way in the psalm. There's streams and rivers that begin to erupt in the desert, in the wilderness. A garden begins to grow in the wilderness, he says, do you not perceive it in Isaiah again, I'm about to do a new thing. Do you not see it? He says, I will make a way in the wilderness, he says, so that they might declare my praise.

00:10:23

You know, the journey of faith is surprising. It really is. It's one. You remember the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit, right? I hate to.

00:10:31

Hate to go here, but it just. Sometimes it happens. And you remember what Gandalf told Bilbo Baggins right before, you know, he decided to go on this journey, was he's, look, I can't promise you safety, but I promise if you come back, you won't ever be the same. Because this journey is perilous. There's suffering along the way.

00:10:55

Really is. Some deep valleys await us, but also high mountains await. And the highs and lows of life make up the stories of our life. Every single one of us no matter the depth of suffering or the zenith of our accomplishments. We fly high sometimes and we get down pretty low sometimes.

00:11:24

And this makes life for us. And you say, well, why is that? I don't know all of why, but I know this both on the mountaintop and in the valley. He wants to sanctify us. He wants to change us.

00:11:37

The whole point is to stay close to him. We with both, in other words, don't Lose him on the mountain and don't lose him in the valley either. As we saw last week, we can be lost at home or lost waywardly.

00:11:54

The key is to stay close to Jesus, which means we got to sit at his feet. We've got to have time carved out, say, daily to sit at his feet, to hear his voice.

00:12:16

When we do that, I think we'll turn out like Psalm 126 here says, look, you know, you'll be like those who dream. You'll be like those who dream. And how many of us have stopped dreaming? You know, economy's bad, or this is bad in our life, or my personal finances are bad, or I'm having trouble here, or I'm having health issues. That can sometimes stop the dreaming.

00:12:42

Can it? But I believe God wants to give us visions and dreams again. He wants to surprise us even when things look impossible. He likes to surprise us with a new way, a new path forward. Trying to remember a time where I was, like, really surprised before, before the sermon, I actually jotted down my 30th birthday.

00:13:08

And then I remembered, oh, it wasn't my 30th. It was actually my 40th birthday. It's been that long, you know, so it's like, oh, man, I thought that was, like, a while back, but it actually wasn't a while back, which is kind of comical. And on my 40th birthday, I remember being at the beach, and I got up to actually, you know, I was reading my Bible and had a cup of coffee on this balcony there at the beach, so I could hear the water. I'm like, man, this is just gonna be a great, good day, you know?

00:13:37

And next thing I saw, I looked down the road and some ladies walking down the road. I was like, oh, that's kind of, you know, odd. Like, you had to be there to see. It's like, okay. And then I was like, hang on.

00:13:46

I know her. That's Rachel Speakman. You know, I was like, what is she doing walking down the road? And then the day followed with many people coming and surprising me. And it was a good day, so.

00:13:58

And surprises oftentimes are like that, right? But then other surprises, not so good. It's that phone call that we dread. It's the results of a test that means bad news. And we're surprised in both surprises.

00:14:19

In both surprises, the Lord wants to sanctify us again. We're back to the principle, if we're principled here, that no matter if it's a good surprise for us or if it's a personal bad surprise for us, God wants to sanctify the way we respond in those moments to make us holy. And here's always been the good news for me during those times, especially the bad times, is God isn't surprised. Like, that's. We get surprised.

00:14:55

And that's part of the, you know, part of the cool journey is like, we never saw it coming, but he did. And he knows. And oftentimes in moments of crisis, I have to say it for my own good. I pray with the family or whoever, whatever situation is. I say, you know, we're surprised today.

00:15:15

I mean, we really were blown away. We never saw this coming. But God is not, and he has prepared a way, and we must look to that way and wait for Him. Not jumping out on our own, trying to forge our own path, but rather, as the psalmist says here, sowing what is good and waiting to reap the harvest. Because while he's still sowing those seeds which look nothing like the end product, that little seed looks nothing like a corn stalk, okay?

00:15:49

You would have never believed it would grow into something like that. But he sees it. He sees the end even as he's sowing it. Do we, though? Do we.

00:16:00

Do we perceive it? And sometimes when we're jaded, when we're stale, we're just dragging ourselves along through life, we need to look ahead. We need to look forward. We need to allow the Lord to give us dreams, to see our grandchildren raised up as godly men and women, to see our kids sent out. So the whole purpose of raising kids is to send them out as godly men and women.

00:16:31

We need to get a vision for that. We need to capture God's dream for a family, that what we're doing today in a little room like this on a rainy day could. Could affect eternity for thousands of generations. Like, I understand how difficult it is to sometimes see any kind of vision or dream like that. But that is a reality.

00:16:54

We are here today because other believers hundreds of years before us put their lives on the line sometime or just simply met with 20 other people in a house. Like, it was nothing sexy about it at all. There was no sort of advantage for them in life at all, for them attending that meeting. And yet your ancestors, my Christian spiritual fathers and mothers and grandmothers and fathers, they went before us doing the hard work, holding onto the faith even when it didn't look good for them. And, you know, that's really what worship is about.

00:17:37

It's not a means to an end. We don't come just so we can get something out of this, so to speak. We come because he is Lord. That's why we come. We worship because he is God and we are not.

00:17:53

It's the only thing we can do. And we get little glimpses of that. You remember when Jesus, you know, we're. We're moving into just thinking about those last moments of the soldiers come in, right? You know, are you Jesus?

00:18:06

Of that I am he. Boom. They fall back. Because that's really the only response when he's in the room.

00:18:17

And so as the psalmist says here, he turns weeping to joy. Thanks be to God. He can do that. You're weeping now. He can turn it to joy.

00:18:28

That's a hard thing to believe when you're weeping. But we must allow room for that even in our darkest moments and hold on to that hope of a brighter day, because it's coming. Because remember, again, the best is yet to come. And so Paul, then, he's going to come along in the Philippians reading. You heard a little bit of that.

00:18:52

And maybe just to refresh your memory, it's basically Paul's resume. You remember, he's like, look, if you think you're a better Jew than I am, you know, as far as following the faith, then think again, okay? Because here's my resume. But you know, he says, he goes, he goes, here's what I think about my resume. It's all garbage compared to following Christ, compared to knowledge of Jesus, my accomplishments, or my resume.

00:19:25

Even if it's your spiritual pedigree or resume. Well, my dad was this. And my, you know, that means nothing in the kingdom. As East Stanley Jones, missionary to India, I believe, said years ago, he said, look, God has no grandchildren. He only has sons and daughters.

00:19:48

You're not one step remove from God. You're directly. He is your father, never your grandfather, okay? Your father. And if he's not, then your father is the enemy.

00:20:00

That's what John tells us. He's that blunt about it. If God is not your father, someone else is. Stop following that Father of lies and start following the Father of Truth, the Father of Lights, the Father who is only good. And in him is no darkness at all.

00:20:21

And Paul says, look, I am pressing on toward Christ, his resurrection power. And then notice this third thing. And to be able to share in his sufferings, they all go together. For Paul, you want Jesus, you're going to share in his sufferings. You want the, you want resurrection power, you're going to share in his sufferings.

00:20:46

This is why he bids us come and die. If you ever read Dietrich Bonhoeffer's book, the Cost of Discipleship, he makes it super clear in the book that Jesus, when he calls us to be his disciples, bids us to come and die. It's the only way to life. There is no resurrection unless there's a death. And it must be the death of self.

00:21:10

That is entire sanctification. That's what it means to be all on the altar. That's what it means back in the 90s or the 80s when we said they're on fire for God because fire burns up all the dross and what's left is the pure, the good and the virtuous. So Paul says, press on, press on with me. Press on toward that higher calling.

00:21:40

Stop fooling around with the stuff down here and move it up, move it up and on to the Lord himself. And then we finally come to our text today, which has its complications. Trust me, if you've ever looked at this, it's text, but at base here they are and they're, you know, it says sitting around a table, but really they're all lying down. Okay, Just imagine they're all sort of leaned up. I believe it was on their left shoulder.

00:22:07

And they would eat off a table that was about 8 inches off the ground or so. And so they're lounging around, they've got blankets everywhere. And Mary is at his feet. Now again, if you're at the. Near the table, remember your head's up here.

00:22:23

So all the heads are up here. But where's Mary? She's at his feet here. What is this showing us great humility. She's got her head at his feet.

00:22:36

This is not the only time where we see her at his feet. She is a great example for us of where our position is compared to Christ. We don't deserve to be at this table today. And we are partaking of the Lord's supper today. We don't deserve it.

00:22:56

None of us do. None of us do. But we do come to his feet. We come to his feet. And when we're sitting at his feet, it is a humble place, our head near his feet.

00:23:12

And what's amazing, he, as we'll celebrate here in a couple of weeks, is such a, if we could put it this way, humble God that He takes off his jacket and washes their stinking feet, puts his head right down where they're. What kind of God is this? One who is not concerned with himself but with others. He is a self giving God. He is A God of love.

00:23:46

That's the best representation we can point to is look at the cross.

00:23:52

Where there should have been shame and defeat, there's victory.

00:23:59

There's victory. An unbelievable, extravagant love. You know, it's kind of ironic here that in our text, right before it, there's a plot to kill Jesus. So they plot right before our text opens up to kill Jesus, and after our text, there's a plot to kill Lazarus. It's interesting.

00:24:28

Our text is surrounded by bad things afoot.

00:24:34

And while Mary here shows great, even extravagant devotion and worship, Judas shows the opposite. And we're meant to see the contrast between both Mary and Judas.

00:24:55

And for Judas, he brings up probably what we all ask, and we're actually told in the other gospels of this same story. In Matthew and Mark, we're told that all the disciples asked this question. You remember? It's like, why spend a year's salary? That's how much.

00:25:13

So this perfume, roughly a year's salary, opened up and poured out in this one overwhelming moment. And it would have been overwhelming in that they didn't have massive houses and they're all lying around. The whole room is now filled with this smell, this pure nard, as we're told. Alabaster jar, remember, from Matthew, which probably came from India, which the early church fathers interpreted, by the way, to say this is a foreign substance that's given to Jesus and then aromatically spreads to fill the whole room, just as the gospel would to those who were foreigners, those who were of low esteem. You see, the ones that get the grace of God are the ones who humble themselves.

00:26:07

His grace flows out like water, and water goes to the lowest place. That's what it does. It'll find the lowest place. Even if that's your basement. Ask any plumber.

00:26:22

Ask any plumber. It's going down to the basement, right? And that's why we must be at his feet. We shouldn't be pushing our way to the front or trying to be head of this or that, but rather at his feet and doing what he asked us to do, even if we are not qualified to do it.

00:26:44

Trust me when I say I am not qualified to do any of what I do. I. I feel deficient all the time in my ministry. When I go to a hospital room, I don't know what to say. What do you say?

00:26:56

When I'm with a family or even rejoicing with a family that's bringing in new life or a wedding, I pale in comparison to the moment and to what God is doing in Those moments. But that's kind of the point is I am not the show. Neither are you when you're ministering to others. Instead, we're pointing to the One who is. And that's why we can kind of say here that this sort of shows us the good news of Judas being there.

00:27:34

Jesus invites even Judas to serve among them, even Judas to the table. He invites him. He doesn't give up on him. Judas gives up on him. And at some point, he started stealing.

00:27:56

And even though Jesus, of course, knowing all things, knew he was stealing, allowed him to do it, still trying to save his soul.

00:28:10

And that's why we don't tear up the wheat, the wheat and the weeds here. We don't pull them up. Jesus says, just leave them right now. Which is why you will find hypocrites in church. Some of us have been that hypocrite.

00:28:22

And thank God he changed us. But we were hypocritical right here in front of everybody. We actually didn't love God. We actually wasn't doing what we were supposed to do.

00:28:37

But he kept working with us and then changed us. But it can also turn the other way. You can also turn your back on him just as Judas. And it's fascinating that in the. In the other gospel accounts of this very story, the next thing to happen is Judas goes and betrays him to the authorities for money.

00:28:59

And so many people think then that Judas was motivated primarily to betray Jesus over this money thing. He just was greedy. And most of us, you know, kind of dismissed. Yeah, you know, that's. It's not my sin.

00:29:16

I'm not. I'm not greedy. But how much of the Lord's stuff do we keep? Hasn't he given us all things? I mean, all our talents, the ability of our mind to learn this stuff, Even giving us jobs and money and relationships.

00:29:37

And here's what the scripture tells us. To whom much has been given, much is required.

00:29:43

I'm going to just go ahead and admit that's scary for me because I've been given much, and I want to constantly be Lord, what do you want me to do with this?

00:29:57

What does he want you to do with what he's given you? Because here's the thing. No matter how much you have or how little you have, he gave it to you.

00:30:10

And you remember the story where the little was given and they did nothing with. Just hid it, just kept it here. He just gave me a little bit. Look at that. That guy over there, he got 10.

00:30:19

So I'm just keeping this one, and I'll give it back to him, you know. No, no. Everybody gives for a greater return, no matter how much or how little.

00:30:37

So we have excessive greed and extravagant devotion contrasted here in both Mary and Judas. And so the question that pops to mind, and this was given to me by a former professor of mine that I'm still in a group with, he said, are we betraying Jesus and don't know it?

00:31:01

What if today he was able to show you a place where you're taking for your own something that's his and you're not giving it, you're not using it for his kingdom, you're just using it for yourself? That's all.

00:31:18

Are we betraying Jesus? I'm sure in Judas mind he had every justification about he needed this and he needed to pay that, and that's why he was taken. He'd give it back, I'm sure, and so do we. But an act of faith says, even with all of that, I'm going to give, even when I don't feel like it, going to forgive.

00:31:47

No virtue signaling. Because that's really what he does here, isn't it? He says, shouldn't we have given this to the poor? He didn't care anything about the poor. He just wanted the pot to swell more and saw this as an absolute waste.

00:32:00

And you know what? Worship, in a sense, is an absolute waste. Waste of practicality. I mean, have you ever looked at a cathedral and said, man, that could have been used for the poor, or this building and this property, you know, it's maybe worth a million dollars. I really don't know the whole thing.

00:32:22

Just sell it and give it to. This is kind of the dilemma we're in. And most of us. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Until we realize that giving money to the poor solve everything.

00:32:33

Because you know, what people need is not just money. They need Christ. They need Christ. Man does not live by bread alone. You can give the poor bread for the rest of your life and that won't change anything.

00:32:49

We give bread and Christ bread in the name of Christ. We give our money in the name of Christ. And you know what? If a church misuses it just like Judas does, then shame on them. And they can prosecute and do all those things, but at the end of the day, guess who's in the right?

00:33:07

You are. But if you say, you know what, I just don't trust people with this or that. So I'm not, you know, just do it myself better. No, no, that's not what the Scriptures would call us to Israel was not a great organization. And yet they gave.

00:33:27

And the church, even from the time of Paul, okay, was already having trouble. And yet Christ has not given up on his church. He is making her into a beautiful bride for Himself. We need to watch ourselves. I get it.

00:33:49

You can talk bad about the church, but not too bad, because the church is holy. And you know what I found is oftentimes when something. When someone is not so great in a church, it's oftentimes so that the Lord could change me. He put that difficult person in my life to change something in me. That was nasty.

00:34:18

You know, it's the whole thing of, oh, there's a little speck in your eye. Meanwhile, we've got a telephone pole hanging out ours. Let us be at his feet, not thinking we have the head seat, but rather at his feet pouring out our most precious gift, whatever that might be. Maybe it's not money at all for you. Maybe for you.

00:34:45

It's your time.

00:34:50

Yes, worship is a waste to the world, but not in reality. It's a beautiful thing that's even remembered 2,000 years later because of what she did.

00:35:03

So there is a bright hope even beyond this moment that Mary, Saul, she's anointing him. For what? Burial? That doesn't sound great. Except that we know that after he was buried.

00:35:19

What? We just said it a moment ago. He rose again, which means that we will rise again forever to be with our Lord. So she. She sees this bright hope when everybody else just sees a nice little dinner for Jesus.

00:35:39

What if we saw this meal today? Like that, Just a little meal, just a little time, but a significant moment in reality. One that can change us. Because God promises to meet us here. He promises to be with us where two or three are gathered.

00:36:00

He's here. He's here. And in moments where the Lord's presence is very strong, we ought to linger just like the perfume did. It lingered in that room and on Jesus. We ought to linger until we hear a word from him, until we receive a vision or a dream from him, until we can, by the Holy Spirit, I don't know how to say this.

00:36:33

Get more grit in our life, to press on against all adversity, against all anxiety, against depression, against whatever it is we might be facing that looks like the Red Sea. He can make a way.

00:36:53

And let's ask ourselves, as we approach the Lord's table, could we be betraying Jesus in some way today? Faith contains many surprises. Are you ready for the journey? We're all on it together, and we'll be here with each other along the way. That's how he's designed it.

00:37:13

And if you haven't been there for someone, let's start. Let's start connecting with someone. Just say, you know what? I want to walk in the faith with you. We can start small groups and this sort of thing, but at the end of the day, it's your decision just to get in somebody's life and be like, hey, can we just walk together now?

00:37:31

You can't do that with 50 people. You really can't. Which means I can't do it with every single one of you. It's not my job to do that. It's impossible.

00:37:38

In fact, we've got to love one another. And that takes everybody. That takes everybody. Just if everybody grabs a handful of other people, say, brother, will you walk with me through the next three months? She gave up a year.

00:37:54

I wonder if we could just give up three months. Like, Lord, this is going to be your three months, and I'm going to walk with these three people through it. I want to know you. I want to press forward. I know that a better day is coming.

00:38:07

I want to see that. I want to have that kind of. We've got to be people of hope.

00:38:14

With so much anxiety and depression and among our kids and suicide rates, all this kind. Listen, Hope, we've got to have it. And Jesus, he has it, and he can help us see it and live in it, even in dark times. And let me tell you, if you're walking through a dark time or a time of suffering, that's when people really start looking at your Facebook. That's when people really start checking you out.

00:38:39

Is he real? Is she real? Because when you go through tough times. Yeah, it's a testing. It's a testing to see what's going to come out so what will come out?

00:38:51

Betrayal, doubt. Listen, today. Get at his feet. Get at his feet. We're going to spend a moment at his feet here in just a second.

00:39:03

Get at his feet. So then he can raise you up, his daughter and son, and say, walk with me. Walk with me. In the name of the Father, Son, Holy Spirit, may it be so. Amen.
