Hey Bible readers.

2

Welcome back to another edition

of the Daily Bible Podcast.

3

Hello.

4

We are back with Monday.

5

Monday.

6

'cause yesterday was Sunday.

7

So today's Monday it's the fifth,

and we're back in Genesis, and

8

we will be back in Matthew again.

9

But before we get there, one of

the things that we do if you're

10

new with us is we answer questions.

11

So if you have a question, you

write it into podcast@compasstx.org.

12

Or if you text one of us or ask one

of us in person we will do our best to

13

try to get it answered on the podcast.

14

And so I think we have one of

those questions on this episode.

15

Do not.

16

We do.

17

And I got this one as a text message.

18

So here's what they say.

19

If after death we will no longer

experience sadness and grief, I believe

20

that's Revelation 21, 1, 3, and four.

21

If we no longer experience these things,

how will we not, when we witness our human

22

loved ones in France, turning from Christ

they mentioned this in particular to the

23

context of the millennial reign of Christ.

24

When there's long life, longer lifespans

and you get to spend a lot more time with

25

your loved ones and they rebel, how could

you not have human sadness in emotions?

26

Emotions when your favorite people?

27

Are undergoing the wrath of God?

28

What a great question, and

one that's worth us taking

29

carefully in consideration.

30

So what do you say to that?

31

PPJ?

32

Yeah, I would say with regards to

millennial kingdom, the millennial kingdom

33

is not the same as the eternal state.

34

So Revelation 21 does not apply

to the millennial kingdom.

35

The millennial kingdom is not

gonna be free from sorrow or.

36

Grief or heartache.

37

In fact, sin is still gonna exist

in millennial kingdom, not for

38

those that are in the church,

those that have glorified bodies.

39

But for those that are the

inhabitants of the millennial

40

kingdom, they will still sin.

41

And those that turn to faith in Christ

will still feel heartache over their.

42

Offspring their loved ones their spouses

who don't turn to faith in Christ

43

that just like today, that happens.

44

And so the millennial kingdom

is going to be similar to today.

45

In that sense that grief and sorrow

will still exist over the eternal

46

state of those that are loved ones that

are lost, that don't follow Christ.

47

When we get to Revelation 21,

the thing that gives us that.

48

That confidence that there's no

more sickness, sorrow, tears,

49

mourning, anything else like

that is what it says that the

50

dwelling place of God is with man.

51

And so that reality is gonna be so

at least in my understanding, my

52

comprehension is gonna be so, overwhelming

to us and all consuming to us that it's

53

going to capture all of our thoughts and

minds and intentions and everything else.

54

And so, any grief that we may have

felt will be swallowed up by the joy

55

of being in the presence of Christ.

56

That's one component of it.

57

The other component of it, and

gr admittedly this is less savory

58

and less enjoyable to discuss,

is that we will have such an

59

appreciation for the justice of God.

60

At that time and in that moment that we

will glorify him for the administration

61

of his justice, the full execution of

his justice, even over and above the

62

reality of the fact that justice may

be meted out against those that we.

63

That we loved while we were on Earth.

64

And I know that is more than difficult

or even perhaps it's borderline

65

incomprehensible for us at this point.

66

And I understand that and I track

with you on that, but I also.

67

Would say equally as much the joy that we

will feel in the presence of God is so all

68

consuming that I think it will swallow up

the grief that we otherwise would've had.

69

Yeah, I would aim into that

as hard as this is for us to

70

wrap our human minds around.

71

Well, we have to understand that

one of the things that makes.

72

This difficult for us is that we see

this purely from our perspective.

73

We get hints and glimpses of God's

perspective in the Book of Revelation

74

when they say things like this.

75

After this, I heard what seemed to

be a loud voice of a great multitude

76

in heaven, crying out, hallelujah.

77

Salvation and glory and power belong

to our God for his judgments are

78

true, and just he has judged the

great prostitute who corrupted

79

the earth with her immorality.

80

And he has avenged on her,

the blood of his servants.

81

And so I have to imagine that some

of those people that are being spoken

82

about, there are family and friends,

it's impossible not to think that

83

there they have to be some Right.

84

Right.

85

There just has to be Right.

86

We suffer from a skewed view of reality

because we live as time-bound creatures

87

who have limited visibility of both.

88

How the thing really works.

89

That is how creation is designed and

how God's operation of justice is.

90

Justice is executed in,

in, in our interactions.

91

And so I'm gonna suggest to you

that when you are glorified.

92

It's not that your emotions get

put away, it's that they're rightly

93

calibrated to feel and to be exercised

the way that God designs 'em to be.

94

So you'll be reset to the factory

default settings, except even

95

better, and you will be able to

celebrate God's righteous decrees,

96

the Christian for the Christian life.

97

Really, Jesus says, you

shall so it's hyperbole.

98

He's not saying that you should hate

your family, but he says your love

99

for me ought to make it look like your

relationship to your family is hatred.

100

People will confuse it because your love

for Christ will be first and foremost.

101

And so I think it comes down to,

for all of us who have family and

102

friends here, Christ is always first.

103

And we have to be feeding that heart and

that ambition, even if that means that

104

it puts us in opposition to our favorite

people, our family, and our friends.

105

And so what we see here in the

scriptures is that there is no.

106

Equivocation.

107

There's no, oh buts I wish

you would do it differently.

108

Everybody is singing God's praises

because of who he is and what he's doing.

109

We will not doubt one bit that this

is the right and good thing for God

110

to do, and I think that we'll have

to include our family and friends.

111

So while we yearn for them now, and we

should, we will recognize that someday we

112

will sing his praises and there won't be,

there's no indication of it, and to your

113

point with the question that you asked,

there's no indication that we're gonna be

114

grieved in the way that we would be today.

115

Right.

116

Right.

117

Hard but true.

118

Hard and true.

119

Yes.

120

Well, let's jump into

our reading for today.

121

We've got our Old Testament,

Genesis 12 through 14, and then in

122

our New Testament, first part of.

123

Matthew chapter five.

124

So Old Testament, we got introduced

to Abram at the end of chapter 11.

125

And so we pick up with Abram in

chapter 12, and it seems rather

126

stark, and yet that's why the running

start is helpful right before this.

127

'cause God is gonna appear to Abram and

say, go from your country, from your

128

kindred to your father in your father's

house to the land that I will show you.

129

And so God is.

130

Moving to create his people.

131

That is the people of Israel.

132

And that's gonna involve the

land that is gonna be the land

133

of Canaan, the promised land.

134

It's also gonna involve what he's gonna

promise Abraham, that is not only the

135

land, but also the seed, which is the

offspring of Abraham and the blessing

136

that's gonna come from Abraham.

137

So those are three key components about

Abraham, and we see them right off

138

the bat here in the call of Abraham.

139

And so Abraham.

140

If he's gonna be obedient to the

Lord is gonna receive these things.

141

And we see in verse four that Abraham is

indeed obedient to the Lord and does go.

142

And so he's going to do what

God has called him to do.

143

He's gonna enter into Canaan

and he's gonna pass through to

144

the land, to the place called

check Him to the oak at Moray.

145

And it says there at the time

that the Canaanites were in the

146

land, the Lord is gonna appear to

Abraham there again and say to your

147

offspring, I will give this land.

148

So again, the promise

of land and seed here.

149

So Abram builds an altar there to the

Lord where he had appeared to him.

150

By the way, I haven't referenced it

yet this year, so let me do it again.

151

Expedition Bible.

152

That channel on YouTube has

a great video on this area.

153

Schechem in the Oak of Moray.

154

You can find it on his channel there.

155

You can read, you can see exactly

where this is taking place.

156

'cause we can go there today and point to

it and say, this is where Abraham met God.

157

Pretty cool.

158

So Expedition Bible on YouTube there.

159

After this Abram is going to.

160

Face a situation where he's in the

land, in the promised land there and

161

there's these interesting situations

where God promises something and

162

then something else comes up.

163

And it seems almost as though it

contradicts what God has promised.

164

So there's a famine that arises

there in the land of Canaan, such

165

that Abram ends up needing to leave

the place that God told him to go.

166

And so he goes down to Egypt.

167

Egypt is going to be a thorn in

the side of God's people forever.

168

Essentially.

169

And so here, Abram is gonna

go down to Egypt to find food.

170

While he's down there and on the way,

he's going to look at his wife Sara,

171

I, who apparently was a looker, and

tell her, Hey, you got to tell them

172

that you're my sister, not my wife.

173

Now this is a half truth because she

was his half sister, but he's doing this

174

so that they won't kill him to take her

for the pharaoh, for the leader there.

175

And indeed, Pharaoh does notice.

176

Sariah wants to take

her as his wife and God.

177

Protects Sariah and does

not allow this to happen.

178

Abram is then sent back and he is sent

back to Canaan at this point where

179

he goes back and that's basically

where we end chapter 12 here.

180

What's so fascinating about

this whole thing here is.

181

A that Abraham is called a man of faith.

182

He is honored by God.

183

He just receives this

incredible covenant from God.

184

Genesis chapter 12 is one of

those critical places that you'd

185

do well to remember, because

this is where God promises to

186

do something great with Abraham.

187

And then in the very next section,

almost as if you blink your eyes and now

188

he's in Egypt and he's like, all right

here's how we're gonna finagle this.

189

You say You're my sister 'cause it's

kind of true a little bit, right?

190

And I'll be your brother and we'll

just, we'll keep things as they are.

191

This is fascinating because he shows

such a lack of trust in God in this one

192

area where his faith is clearly real.

193

I think for me, this encourages me

that faith is, even if it's real

194

faith, it is an imperfect faith.

195

Yep.

196

And granted, Abraham is an Old Testament

patriarch, so he's not filled with spirit

197

in the way that you and I are, but this

shows us that there's an imperfect nature

198

to our faith, and it's always exercised

with humility and awareness that there's

199

1,000,001 things that we don't know.

200

And those are just for the things

that we know that we don't know.

201

There's a lot of things that we don't

know that we don't know, and that's

202

infinitely greater in God knows.

203

Here's another fascinating feature.

204

Peter Commends, saray Sarah, right?

205

Peter in first, Peter chapter

three, you just preached this.

206

Yep.

207

And this is fascinating because

if I'm her, I'm thinking, no,

208

like not on your life, buddy.

209

No, we're not doing this.

210

Let's go somewhere else.

211

Let's pull the car over.

212

Let's have a conversation.

213

She doesn't do that.

214

Maybe she did.

215

But we don't see that.

216

What we see is that she submitted

to his leadership and Peter says he

217

says, look, as Sarah obeyed Abraham

calling him, Lord, you're Sarah's

218

children if you do good, and don't

fear anything that is frightening.

219

You wanna talk about

something that's frightening.

220

This is it right here.

221

And in fact, her worst fears

are probably imagined because

222

Pharaoh says, you know what?

223

You're coming with me, right?

224

I gotta, I just can't imagine

what she's going through.

225

And yet God commence her.

226

And I think all of this is just, again,

evidence of God's hand, his care, his

227

protection for Sarah, even though.

228

Abraham's acting like a fool at

this point, at this particular

229

juncture, and God just shows, man,

I'm in control of all these things.

230

You can trust me.

231

Yeah.

232

Yep.

233

Abraham's back in Canaan then in chapter

13, and he is there with his nephew Lot

234

and Lot and, and Abraham both have large.

235

Possessions and large herds.

236

And this is part of the blessing

from Genesis chapter 12 three.

237

Some of the reality of this

is beginning to be realized in

238

Abraham's life or Abraham's life.

239

And so Abram and Lot can't live

together because their herds are too

240

much, and so they have to separate.

241

So lot is going to turn, choose

to settle down in the valley near

242

Sodom and Gamora, and he's gonna

really live in the shadow of Sodom.

243

And it's gonna even say there already

in some foreshadowing, the men of

244

Saddo more wicked and great sinners

against the Lord so lot is not making

245

the best decisions for himself.

246

And that is gonna be compounded because

later on in chapter 14, then lot is

247

gonna find himself a prisoner of war

because there is a war that takes place

248

with all of these different kings,

including the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah.

249

And they are going to be defeated

and lot is gonna be taken

250

captive as a prisoner of war.

251

And we see Abram is not just a good

shepherd but he's also a pretty adept

252

warrior because he's gonna take his crew

and he's gonna go on a rescue mission

253

and he's gonna get a lot back for him

himself to save his nephew there from the

254

situation that he had found himself in.

255

So chapter 13, chapter 14 at

least the first part of 14

256

Abraham and Lot are separating.

257

You've got a set up here with what's

gonna happen with Sodom and Mura later on.

258

And and then in chapter 14, Abram shows up

for his nephew there and cares for him by

259

rescuing him from a pretty dire situation.

260

I am just gonna call a lot out

right here and point out that lot.

261

Sodom Gilmore had a reputation.

262

I'm Convi, I'm convinced of that.

263

Yeah.

264

And he yet, in verse 12, he

moved his tents as far as Sodom.

265

He may not have gone in the gates at

Le, at least not initially, but he was

266

close enough to it where he knew that

there would be temptation and a pole and

267

a gravitational force exerted upon him.

268

He gets caught up in the whole thing.

269

He would not have even needed

Abraham to do this if you were

270

not flirting with the line.

271

What a good reminder for us.

272

Don't flirt with the line of sin.

273

Yeah, stay far away from the tent.

274

Don't even put yourself in that situation.

275

Yeah.

276

Rest of chapter 14, we

are brought back to.

277

To reckon with the character

that we left off last year.

278

If you were with this in the daily

Bible reading in Hebrews, and

279

that is this character of Melek.

280

So Melek comes on the scene here in

Greece, Abraham and Melek, king of Salem

281

brought, brings out bread and wine.

282

He was a priest.

283

It says the most high God, Psalm one 10

which is the writer of Hebrews argument

284

that Jesus is a priest in the order of ek.

285

And then he blesses Abraham and the

writer of Hebrew says it's undeniable

286

that the greater blesses the.

287

Inferior or the lesser.

288

So here Melek is blessing Abraham showing

that Melek is even greater than Abraham.

289

And then Abraham acknowledges

this by giving Melek a tithe.

290

And so this is the figurehead Melek

here, it's his priesthood that Jesus is

291

ultimately going to come in the line of.

292

So it's a fascinating interaction between

the one that is, in so many ways, the

293

father of Israel, then the one that is

going to be the head of the priestly

294

line that Jesus is gonna come from.

295

So one of the things that I asked as I

read this time around was, how is Jesus.

296

A milk is aian priest, where

does he like, does he get a card?

297

Was there something in the mail?

298

An application that he

filled out and sent it back?

299

And my studies, that led me back, of

course, back to the book of Hebrews.

300

And I think the best way to

think about this is that he is

301

a priest after the order of milk

isek by divine decree, right?

302

And that's essentially it.

303

He's a priest because

God says he's a priest.

304

Right?

305

Or in the tribe of Levi, you

didn't take the honor for yourself.

306

You were essentially voted in by

somebody, not God, and then you

307

were appointed to that office.

308

But God does that for Jesus.

309

And so what's interesting is that

Jesus is not a descendant of Mc deck.

310

He's a descendant of the tribe of Judah.

311

And that's what part of the argument

is in the book of Hebrews that

312

Jesus is not a Levite descendant.

313

His relation to Melek then

is by God's connection.

314

It's not anything more than

that or less than that.

315

God said, you are a priest after

the order of Melek, you're a

316

priest after his order forever.

317

Psalm 90 says one, two.

318

Psalm one 10.

319

That's right.

320

That's right.

321

So all this to say, the connection

here, if you're thinking

322

about it, is it biological?

323

Is it familial?

324

No, it's divine.

325

God decides Jesus is a

priest after that order.

326

So there you go.

327

Yeah.

328

Nothing genetic there.

329

Yeah, you're right.

330

Yep.

331

Good observation.

332

Matthew chapter five for our

New Testament reading then.

333

Go ahead and take your Bibles and

flip on over to Matthew chapter five

334

if you're following along with this.

335

But we start out here with

the Sermon on the Mount.

336

It's called the Sermon on

the Mount because Matthew

337

five one, seeing the crowds.

338

He went up on a mountain and when he

had sat down, his disciples came to him.

339

So if you go to Capernaum in that region

today, the northern region and Galilee

340

there there's a mount called the Mount

of Beatitudes, and this is where church.

341

History tradition holds that

this is where Jesus taught.

342

It's a little underwhelming because

they don't have a grand amphitheater

343

there or anything else like that.

344

But it is kind of a mountainside

and no one's exactly sure exactly

345

where this sermon took place, but

you can go to the general region

346

today where where Jesus taught here.

347

But again, like I said yesterday,

this seems to be what it

348

means that he's preaching the

gospel of the Kingdom of God.

349

The Sermon on the Mount there's different

ways to look at it, but I think what's.

350

The most helpful way to look

at it is this is what Kingdom

351

Living is supposed to entail.

352

This is what it's supposed to look

like to live in the kingdom of God

353

in a way that pleases the Lord.

354

And so he's gonna walk through a lot

of different things in here that are

355

gonna have to do with our godliness,

our holiness, and he begins even just

356

with the posture of the person in the.

357

The Beatitudes here where he talks about

the poor in spirit, the mourn, the me,

358

those who mourn, those who are meek, those

who hunger and thirst for righteousness.

359

The merciful, the pure in

heart, the peacemakers.

360

These are the characteristic qualities

of somebody who fits in God's kingdom.

361

This is what God is after.

362

And a lot of these are things that when

you look at from a world standpoint, they

363

would look at that and scoff at that.

364

But in God's economy, he looks at

this and says, this is a good thing.

365

And even those that suffer whatever

the want might be, on the one hand, are

366

gonna be fulfilled in God's kingdom.

367

On the other hand, some of the

things that stand out here have

368

been, so, I mean, the Beatitudes

why are they called be attitudes?

369

I guess.

370

Let's talk about that first.

371

Oh, there's nothing here that

says this is a B attitude.

372

What's a B attitude?

373

Because God doesn't want a B attitude.

374

He wants an a attitude.

375

But he called, they're

called B attitudes though.

376

No.

377

Do you have any idea about that?

378

It's not from blessed 'cause blessed

is from a Greek word that means happy.

379

Right.

380

And so you would think they

would be the blessed attitudes.

381

Yeah.

382

And that weird yeah I don't know

the word beatitude well enough just

383

frankly to be able to say whether or

not there's, I mean, it looks like

384

the connection is too beautiful.

385

And so you wonder if this is the

386

beautiful life.

387

The Beautiful Mind.

388

Yeah.

389

Beautiful Mind if you ever

saw that movie, John Nash.

390

Are you there?

391

Yeah.

392

Yeah.

393

Okay.

394

I don't know the answer to that either, so

I'll just let you figure that out for us.

395

Okay, so in the next section here,

Salton Lights, obviously these

396

are really famous words that Jesus

communicates, but one of the things

397

that I wanted to point out to you.

398

Is where Christ came to fulfill the law.

399

I want you to see how there's a dual

function being accomplished here.

400

One, Jesus himself fulfills the law.

401

He fulfills all that the law and the

prophets pointed to, and he does that by

402

his life, his death, his resurrection.

403

But on top of that, he also says something

fascinating for those of us who believe

404

that Christ really did fulfill the law.

405

He says, those who relax one of the

least of these commandments and teaches

406

others to do the same will be called

the least in the kingdom of heaven.

407

And whoever does them and

teaches them will be called

408

great in the kingdom of heaven.

409

So Jesus, on the one hand says, I

fulfilled it, and on the other hand says,

410

and yet I still want you to obey it.

411

Help us put those pieces together.

412

PPJ.

413

Yeah.

414

The fulfillment was not to say that

you don't have to do it anymore.

415

And Paul's gonna get into this in Romans.

416

It's some of what Paul says

when he says, should we sin that

417

Grace May a bound more and more?

418

If grace abounds when we sin, because

Christ is the one that fulfilled the law.

419

He did what the law could not do.

420

As Paul says should we

go on sitting there?

421

And he says, may it never be.

422

Don't miss.

423

Stake this.

424

This is not so that you can go

on and just live antinomian.

425

That is anti law.

426

Yeah, but rather you don't have

to be justified by the law.

427

That's what Jesus is teaching here.

428

In fact, he says there, unless your

righteousness exceeds that of the

429

scribes and the Pharisees, you'll

never enter the kingdom of heaven.

430

Oof, nobody can do that.

431

The scribes and the Pharisees

were the righteous of righteous.

432

And so humanly speaking, nobody

can be more righteous than them.

433

And that's what his point is.

434

I'm the one that fulfilled the law so

that you can be that righteous, but that

435

righteousness is gonna come from me.

436

But he's not saying the

law has no place anymore.

437

I'm not here to say the

law doesn't matter anymore.

438

It just, it doesn't matter for

your justification anymore.

439

Yeah, so that's critical and I

think that's a masterful job.

440

I wanna also point your attention to this

next section where it talks about anger.

441

So he says something fascinating,

PPJ and I would love for you

442

to elaborate on this here.

443

He says, if you're angry with your

brother, you're liable to the judgment.

444

What does he mean by that?

445

It's the heart of the

issue is the heart issue.

446

Right?

447

And that's what Jesus is

doing here with anger.

448

He's gonna do it.

449

This is tomorrow, but he's saying, you

can be so caught up on the letter of the

450

law that you missed the spirit of the law.

451

And so even the, that idea, you

should, you've heard it said,

452

you shall not commit murder.

453

Okay, well, you're patting yourself on the

back thinking I've never committed murder,

454

but you've still got a heart problem.

455

And that a heart problem is that

you've fallen short of the law because

456

you've harbored a murderous heart.

457

Towards your brother in your heart

when you've been angry at them, or

458

you've said in your heart, you fool

the same heart that produces murder

459

produces the slander, or produces the

grumbling or produces the evil thought

460

about that other person in your heart.

461

And so you're guilty of the law even

if you don't transgress the law itself.

462

So the difference it seems then

is not in kind, but in degree

463

you can not commit murder.

464

Right?

465

But you can still have.

466

A murderous heart and God will

hold us accountable for that.

467

Mm-hmm.

468

To the point where he

says, if you remember.

469

That you have something

against somebody or they have

470

something against you actually.

471

So he goes, if you remember that,

your brother has something against

472

you, so this is not even you, right?

473

This is saying, oh, I know that Pastor

PJ's upset with me for some reason

474

I do not worship the Lord until I go

and attempt to reconcile that first,

475

be reconciled to your brother, and

then come and offer your gifts, come

476

to terms quickly with your accuser

while you're going with them to court.

477

Les your accuser, hand you over

to the judge and the judge to the

478

guard, and you be put in prison.

479

And then he says, you won't get

out until you paid the last penny.

480

So God puts the onus on

reconciliation on you.

481

He puts the onus on you, whoever

you are, who's listening, he puts

482

the onus on you to reconcile.

483

So he doesn't want you to wait and say,

I'm just gonna give him a silent treatment

484

and I'm gonna scowl at them when they walk

by, and they're gonna know that I'm mad.

485

He's gonna say, no you

go and you reconcile.

486

If you know that they're

upset with you, you go fix it.

487

Yeah.

488

Don't let it stay that way.

489

If there's any one of you.

490

Who are here in this, and you

have anything against your brother

491

or sister, let this warn you.

492

Jesus is saying the kind of

murderous heart that is harbored

493

in a Christian cannot be the case.

494

I don't think that anybody sees it

this way, but it's so serious that

495

Jesus is saying, don't worship me

until you have this figured out.

496

Attempt to reconcile.

497

Hey, let's wrap this one up

by answering the question that

498

we asked about Beatitudes.

499

So I use, what are Beatitudes?

500

I use the Logos Study Assistant,

which is their new AI component.

501

Oh.

502

Which works much like an AI agent.

503

So it's not the same as

the AI search components.

504

Okay.

505

Which also helpful.

506

I hit the link in the show notes

for Pastor PJ's referral code.

507

You can get a discount.

508

You can just type straight

in to this, your question.

509

So I said, why are they

called the Beatitudes?

510

Here it is.

511

The term beatitude derives

from the Latin beat Tudo.

512

Because the opening word of each

statement in the Latin vulgate is

513

beatti, which corresponds with Matthew's

Greek word s, which is blessed.

514

Okay, so it does come back to blessed.

515

It does.

516

Or through the Latin Greek.

517

There you go.

518

That we did Latin just a

couple days ago, right?

519

And here we are doing it again.

520

Again, Latin for the win.

521

All right, let's let's wrap

this up in prayer and then

522

we'll keep on going tomorrow.

523

Well, we're grateful for the righteous,

that righteousness that we have in Christ,

524

that he did come to fulfill the law.

525

That it's not on us to try to be

more righteous than the scribes

526

and the Pharisees or to fulfill

the law ourselves because we can't.

527

And so we are so thankful that Jesus did

that for us, and so we're grateful even

528

to be able to see the gospel in something

like the Sermon on the Mount, and to be

529

thankful for Christ's atoning sacrifice

for us in his great exchange where we get

530

his righteousness and he takes our sin.

531

So we pray that we would live

in light of that reality.

532

Not to forsake the law now, but

to live obedient to him because

533

of all that he's done for us.

534

We pray this in Jesus' name.

535

Amen.

536

Well, hey guys, keep going.

537

Keep reading your Bibles.

538

539
