Hey everybody.

2

Welcome back to another edition

of the Daily Bible podcast.

3

Happy Tuesday folks.

4

Happy Tuesday.

5

Hey, I've got a question for you.

6

This was not submitted formally to the

podcast, but it actually came through

7

in a text right before we hit record,

so I'm gonna, I'm gonna throw it at you.

8

Somebody was in the area and we've got

some different restaurants that serve

9

different kinds of Middle Eastern food and

things like that, and they went to go buy

10

food from one restaurant that is halal.

11

And they found out before they

went to go buy the food that the

12

people there we assume are Muslims,

because that's what Halal is.

13

It's the Islamic form of something being

kosher, that they pray over the food

14

before they prepare it and serve it.

15

That's fascinating.

16

And so the question is.

17

As Christians, should we eat that food?

18

Should we be purveyors of that restaurant?

19

Should we, is there anything about

the prayer that's been offered over

20

that food that should cause us to

say, no, I, I don't wanna do that.

21

That is incredibly interesting.

22

I'm surprised that I've

not encountered that yet.

23

But of course I'm not usually going to

restaurants that have anything like that.

24

I'm not usually eating that

kind of food, not my genre.

25

And when I go to Mexican restaurants,

they don't tell me if they have Catholic

26

friends that are praying over it or not.

27

So I never ask those questions.

28

I do have thoughts and I think

scripture has like almost a hand

29

in glove of response to this.

30

What are you thinking about it?

31

It's real life.

32

Yeah.

33

I, this is a matter of conscience,

I think at the end of the day.

34

Yeah the Christian, if it.

35

If it offends your conscience, if

it's, if it wounds your conscience

36

to eat that food because you feel as

though you are now eating food that

37

somebody has offered, or you're not

sure what they prayed over it, or you're

38

wondering if you're participating in

the act of worship of this false God

39

as you eat that food then abstain.

40

Don't eat the food.

41

And that's what Paul says when he talks

about this very issue, he says about meat.

42

That's offered in to gods before

it's sold in the marketplace.

43

Bingo.

44

He says, Hey, if it offends you to eat

that food, or if you've got a conscience

45

that is sensitive to that, don't eat.

46

But if you're gonna eat freely

because there's no God but God.

47

And so really that prayer that was

offered over that food, Paul would

48

say, is meaningless because the

God Allah that the Muslims serve.

49

And this is a totally different

conversation, but is it a Unitarian God?

50

Because they deny the trinity and

so they're praying to a God who's

51

not God, even though they would

claim that praying to a demon.

52

It's the God of the Old Testament.

53

Yeah.

54

Okay.

55

We would say, yeah,

they're praying to a demon.

56

Yeah.

57

So you're free to eat that food.

58

You're free to go to that restaurant

unless it offends your conscience.

59

And if you're, it, if offends

your conscience and you still

60

eat, then it becomes sin to you

because you can't do it in faith.

61

You are going against something that

God has given us to be discerning

62

people, and that is our conscience.

63

And we need to be careful about that.

64

We just can't take our conscience

and turn our conscience into

65

a law for everybody else.

66

So I think in this

instance, it's up to you.

67

If it offends you, if it

bothers you, don't eat.

68

If it doesn't bother you, hey,

eat, enjoy, and give glory to God

69

for the food that you're eating.

70

Amen to that brother.

71

That's a good word.

72

I would simply point out that

the conscience is an interesting

73

instrument that God has given us by

the very fact that Paul says, if it

74

offends your conscience, don't do it.

75

But if your conscience is okay with

it, then enjoy and eat freely tells me

76

that the conscience has to be trained.

77

Yes.

78

Has to be attuned to the right parameters.

79

And that is an ongoing

process for some of you.

80

You have a conscience issue about

drinking or smoking or things like

81

that where scripture has been silent

about some of these bigger cultural

82

issues that we've really wrestled with.

83

My point is your conscience needs to

be calibrated, and the only way to

84

do that is through the word of God.

85

You need the Bible to influence

the way that you think and the

86

way that you theologically reason.

87

About how you go about life, and so

it's great that you're doing this

88

because this is the whole practice.

89

All of us are going through the

process of training our consciences

90

to respond in the right way.

91

When things like this happen where

there's not a clear command from

92

scripture, that's really how the

conscience is supposed to function.

93

It gives us a check to say,

maybe wait, don't do this, or Is

94

there something wrong with this?

95

Or it gives us no condemnation to say.

96

Do that thing freely, enjoy

it to the glory of God.

97

And so in so far as you're able

to do that and there's nothing

98

in scripture that violates that,

then that's usually a good sign.

99

On the other hand, there are times

when your conscience will raise a

100

flag over something that you think is

wrong because you've been culturally

101

trained to think that thing is wrong.

102

When in reality scripture

says nothing about it.

103

In fact, it gives freedom.

104

And again, alcohol is probably the

easiest one to talk about, even

105

though there are real issues there.

106

Alcoholism.

107

Forbidden.

108

No drunkenness alcohol, God's gift.

109

It's there for from him.

110

Obviously he gave it to us, right?

111

But you can't obviously abuse

that and that's where you

112

get into the realm of sin.

113

So all that to say, your conscience

has to be trained and that's a

114

really good thing and a really

good reason to be in scripture.

115

'cause it helps with that whole process.

116

Yep.

117

Yep.

118

So good.

119

Good question.

120

Sent in by the Oscar.

121

I won't call him out because he didn't.

122

Submit this for the podcast.

123

He just texted me to say,

Hey, I it pastor about this.

124

But it was Pastor Mark.

125

How did you know?

126

Yeah.

127

I could just tell I heard

they're going halal.

128

Yeah.

129

They're not the food's

delicious though, man.

130

It's, it is very similar to what

some of the food that you eat over in

131

Israel and so when I've never been.

132

Have you been there before?

133

I have.

134

Oh, and it's delicious.

135

Interesting.

136

The food is great.

137

Except that you can't eat

cheese and meat together.

138

It's not kosher because the whole,

don't boil a goat in its mother's milk.

139

That whole situation I'm

going to break the law.

140

So even at night, they don't give

you, they don't give you creamer

141

except for non-dairy creamer.

142

And so people that like

cream in their coffee.

143

I am, I don't drink cream in my coffee.

144

Yeah.

145

But I would.

146

Just to exercise my freedom

Hey, let's see what I'm doing.

147

There's powder.

148

No, you can't find it like you.

149

The restaurants don't have it.

150

I would put the coffee mate in my luggage.

151

The travel coffee mate would come with

me in my pocket in its own holster.

152

If it survived that trip, it

wouldn't be dairy Creamer.

153

That's true.

154

Yeah.

155

So I think you'd be okay still.

156

I don't think coffee

mates dairy even close.

157

I don't think there's any milk that's

ever seen the inside of a coffee mate.

158

Anyways, let's jump into our daily Bible

reading today 'cause we got a whale of a

159

section again from Isaiah 49 through 53.

160

My goal is not to rip out

any Bible paint just today.

161

Don't rip anything.

162

Alright.

163

But talk to us 'cause you alluded

to this, that there's a new section

164

that we're entering into here.

165

So talk to us about that,

that new section, right?

166

So you're looking at roughly

chapters 49 through 57.

167

And the reason that we know

that is because Isaiah cues us.

168

He uses repetition, he

uses bookmark phrases.

169

Like when you're on a bookshelf,

you have those two end caps

170

to keep the book standing.

171

There's a literary technique

that does the same thing.

172

And so if you just look back

in your chapter, 48, 22, Isaiah

173

says, there is no peace, says

the Lord, Yahweh, for the wicked.

174

That's the end of chapter 48, verse

22, and if you skip over to chapter 57.

175

Verse 21.

176

It's the very last verse in chapter 57.

177

It says, there is no peace,

says, my God, for the wicked.

178

So same phrase, slightly worded

differently, but that tells us Isaiah's

179

trying to create a section here for

us to help us understand something.

180

And so what's he trying

to help us understand?

181

I think this section focuses primarily

on the suffering servant and it

182

really culminates in chapter 53.

183

That's really the high point of it.

184

Of this section, but the whole

thing really is about Jesus

185

suffering, the suffering servant the

individual, not the corporate one.

186

And so that's gonna be one of

the things that we're gonna see.

187

And the way that you experience

the peace of God is by being right

188

under this suffering servant's wake.

189

He's the one who's gonna lead the way.

190

You get right with God through

the suffering servant, and

191

that's how you get peace.

192

There's righteousness and there's peace.

193

If you're not under that righteous

banner, there is no peace for the wicked.

194

Super helpful.

195

And if you're sitting there going, how am

I supposed to know that this is bookended?

196

How should I know?

197

This is where good study Bibles

come into play, this is where Yeah.

198

Commentary will come into play.

199

Totally.

200

You don't have to read this

and naturally be able to be

201

like, oh look, this book ends.

202

'cause I can call back to, eight

chapters ago and see that this is there.

203

Anyways chapter 49, we get in here

and he's talking about the servant,

204

and you alluded, this is the suffering

servant, the individual, and yet in

205

verse three it says, you are my servant

Israel and whom I will be glorified.

206

And so what do we do with that

other than we have to, to again,

207

continue to look through the context.

208

And the context is clearly

talking about an individual here.

209

And so there is a way in which we can

see this reference to Israel still

210

is reference to Jesus or the Messiah.

211

In some ways, some have pointed out

that Jesus fulfills everything that

212

Israel failed to fulfill in his

representation of what God desired, but.

213

This is the Messiah.

214

This is the servant that is, we know

now today as Jesus, and even in verse

215

four, it alludes to his first coming

in a little bit of a unique way.

216

He said, I have labored in vain.

217

I've spent my strength for

nothing in vanity yet surely

218

my right is with the Lord.

219

My re pences with my God.

220

We have to be careful not to see

this as him being complaining

221

or angry or bitter in this.

222

I think this is just simply a statement

of fact that at his first coming, as John

223

talked about in the opening of his gospel

in John chapter one, he came to his own

224

Israel, but his own did not receive him.

225

This is setting up the suffering

nature of what's going to be here.

226

And it's an allusion to the initial,

the first advent of Jesus Christ,

227

the suffering servant, because he

spends his strength and yet the people

228

don't receive him there, not the way

that they will receive him in the

229

future when he's the millennial king.

230

Reigning over the kingdom there.

231

Yeah.

232

Speaking of millennial kingdom, we

see that beginning in verse eight

233

of chapter 49 as he's going to

deliver the people, he's going to

234

provide salvation to the people.

235

Look down in verse 10.

236

They shall not hunger or thirst.

237

Neither shall scorching

wind or sun strike them.

238

For he who has pity on them

will lead them, and by springs

239

of water will guide them.

240

Psalm 23 should come to mind there as the

Lord being the good shepherd, the one that

241

is going to lead us beside still waters.

242

That ultimate reality for Israel

is going to be in the future.

243

During the millennial kingdom,

he's gonna gather the nations.

244

And that's a common theme

in the millennial kingdom.

245

He's calling the Israelites from

all of these different nations that

246

they've gone to, including, and this is

interesting the name SAE in verse 12 pr.

247

Did you look into Sein at all?

248

'cause I hadn't noticed it and so

I was reading it this last time.

249

I did not People think that it's China.

250

Which is fascinating.

251

I and I think there's a lot

more to the why behind that, but

252

that's just another reminder.

253

We're still dealing are the Chinese

people, the ancestors of the Jews.

254

Just kidding.

255

They're not very good Jews if they are.

256

That's true.

257

Yeah.

258

But it's possibly even China.

259

Just a reminder of how broad and

scattered the people would be under

260

the hand of God's judgment and

yet he was gonna bring them back.

261

Verse 15, can a woman

forget her nursing child?

262

He says, maybe, but he says

this at the end of verse 15,

263

yet I will not forget you.

264

And again, I just think that's another

reminder of God's dispensational.

265

Covenants and promises that he has to

fulfill with Israel and with Israel alone.

266

One of the things that's cool

about this chapter is that God is

267

making it evident by his servant.

268

I'm sending you my servant.

269

He's going to fulfill righteousness

and eventually he's going to

270

usher in the millennial kingdom

that we just read about.

271

Even though there's rejection here

in his first coming, but one of the

272

things that we can be confident of

is that there will not be rejection.

273

The second coming that he will

establish his perfect righteousness.

274

And in fact, just a couple

chapters ago, we read in chapter,

275

here we go, chapter 45 verse 23.

276

To me, every knee shall bow and

every tongue shall swear allegiance.

277

Now, you talked about this

and I forgot to bring this up.

278

I meant to Jesus, who is coming

as the suf suffering servant.

279

Receives this passage Paul applies it

to Jesus in Philippians chapter two.

280

But if you notice in chapter

45, this is about Yahweh.

281

This is about Yahweh, the capital LORD,

and so applying to Jesus again, we

282

see more hints in the book of Isaiah.

283

That this suffering servant, this

coming Messiah is more than a man.

284

He is God in the flesh.

285

I think that's really cool, and I love

this chapter because it shows that

286

this is, this guy is being introduced,

this mysterious figure who is more

287

he represents true and better Israel.

288

He's Israel, perfected Israel 2.0,

289

and that's how they're going to

be saved because of this guy who

290

did not fail, where they did fail.

291

I love this.

292

Yeah.

293

Yeah.

294

In chapter 50 God is going to

confront Israel and say, Hey, why

295

have you not yet turned to me?

296

And that's the opening here.

297

And he says, Hey, where's

the certificate of divorce?

298

You're telling me I've

divorced You show it.

299

Let's see the certificate.

300

And then he says is my

arm too short to save?

301

In other words, I'm here.

302

I can deliver you.

303

And yes, Isaiah is delivering that to

the people, again, way before exile.

304

But that is gonna be

true during the exile.

305

God is gonna say, why have you not?

306

Yet turned to me yet and repented

like you should have the servant, the

307

suffering servant is the ultimate example

of this confidence in the Lord despite

308

the suffering that he would endure.

309

He knows verse nine, that he has no guilt.

310

He knows verse seven, that

the Lord is going to help him.

311

And so he's resolute in his mission.

312

And so Jesus is going to do

what Israel would fail to do.

313

And that's why in verse six he can say,

I gave my back to those who strike my

314

cheeks, to those who pull out the beard.

315

I hi up my face from

disgrace and spitting.

316

Why?

317

Because of his great confidence in

God's able ability to deliver and that

318

he didn't distrust that or view the

suffering that he was going through

319

as though God had abandoned him.

320

He knew better than that.

321

Yeah.

322

Fascinating that.

323

He'll say, who?

324

Who can declare me guilty.

325

Because if he's a man, you should

be able to say, oh I've got my list.

326

Jesus, come over here.

327

Let me tell you.

328

And yet, because he's more than a man.

329

Again, we see hints here.

330

It's not as explicit as we might

like, but if you're reading it

331

carefully, Isaiah's pretty explicit.

332

Yeah.

333

He's not hiding it.

334

He's saying, here, look,

this person who comes.

335

In fact, it's weird because in

my ESB Bible here, there's not a

336

heading in verse four that says, now

the suffering servant is speaking,

337

and yet we know that's the case.

338

There's a shift where verses

one through three is Yahweh.

339

He's the one who's speaking, but

verses four and onward, it's him.

340

It's the suffering servant

who is now speaking the Lord.

341

God has given me the tongue

of those who are taught.

342

And remember, Jesus possesses wisdom.

343

He shuts the mouth of his adversaries.

344

They don't know how to respond to him.

345

'cause he says who's, how

does he have such learning?

346

They say about him Who's

gonna hold him guilty?

347

Imagine if someone were

to say that to you.

348

Show me where I'm guilty.

349

Show me where I've sinned.

350

I don't think it'd be very hard

for you to say I've got a couple

351

things I could point out to you.

352

You were impatient here and you

broke the law when you were speeding

353

at 65 on the 40, whatever it is.

354

And Jesus could say, show me

where I'm guilty, and people

355

will say, I don't have anything.

356

Yeah, that's jaw dropping.

357

Yeah.

358

It is.

359

It's amazing.

360

It's amazing.

361

One really cool illusion I think is

here in 50 se chapter 50 verse seven,

362

where it says, therefore the Lord God

helps me or, but the Lord God helps me.

363

Therefore I have not been disgraced.

364

Therefore, I have set my face like

a flint, and I know that I shall

365

not be put to flame the flame.

366

Shame.

367

Thanks.

368

Or the flame.

369

Or the flame.

370

Yeah.

371

But Luke nine, verse 51 says

that Jesus set his face, Mike

372

Flint, to go to Jerusalem.

373

Yeah.

374

Yeah.

375

And so that's great.

376

That's a great connection.

377

Illusion back to, I think that's

a good, that's a good one.

378

Yeah.

379

Did you look that up in the logs thing?

380

Is that in there?

381

That's good.

382

I didn't, I just, I grabbed it.

383

I saw it.

384

I like in your head, huh?

385

Because that phrase has

always stuck out to me.

386

That resolve when it says he

set his face to go I'm going.

387

I'm not gonna be moved.

388

And so that's a good

cross reference folks.

389

That's why you pay for this podcast.

390

Cross references like that.

391

That makes it worth it.

392

Hey, but bad news, we're gonna start

triple charging you for this podcast.

393

So what you're paying right now, you're

gonna have to pay triple starting.

394

Yeah, sometimes it happens.

395

Inflation hits us all guys, and in arrears

for all the episodes you listened to.

396

Yeah, that's coming.

397

Chapter 51, I think helps us understand

the mindset of the Jewish people today

398

and also the disciples during Jesus'

Day and the disciples that were on

399

the road to Emmaus 'cause chapter 51.

400

This is all about the glorious

reign of the Messiah in the future.

401

It's focused on his power and

it exhorts the people not to

402

fear oppressors any longer.

403

It talks about the ransom

being reinstalled in Zion with

404

everlasting joy in singing.

405

And so when you read a chapter

like this and you go, okay, this is

406

talking about the Lord's servant,

this is talking about the Messiah.

407

And then when you see Jesus be the

Jesus of Isaiah 53, or the Jesus

408

who's giving his back to the,

those that are whipping it, or in.

409

They're pulling the hair out of his beard.

410

It doesn't add up.

411

And so I think chapters like Isaiah 51

help us understand the expectation that

412

Jews initially had for Jesus at his

first coming was really what we're gonna

413

see from Jesus at his second coming.

414

Yeah.

415

So you could understand

some of their confusion too.

416

When he came, they were expecting

a man who puts us all together

417

in one compressed timeframe.

418

And often scripture has a multiple

fulfillment kind of pattern

419

where sometimes you're just

unsure is this the completion?

420

And you don't know until really the

end of history when God makes it clear.

421

Okay.

422

That was it.

423

I've wrapped it all up, and sometimes

you'll see multiple layers of fulfillment,

424

which is why when Jesus reads in the

temple, he only reads a portion of

425

Isaiah, and then he says, this has now

been fulfilled in your hearing, and

426

we're gonna hear the rest of it later on.

427

We'll see the true fulfillment

of all of it at another time.

428

So I'm with, that's really helpful.

429

Insightful observation.

430

Yeah.

431

And that continues even into chapter 52.

432

The first part of it, at least continues

this depiction of God's future deliverance

433

of Israel and the, this glorious

reign during the millennial kingdom.

434

Verse seven, how beautiful on the,

upon the mountains are the feet

435

of him who brings good news, who

publishes peace, brings a good news

436

of happiness and publishes salvation,

who says to Zion, your God reigns.

437

The Lord has beared his holy arm

before the eyes of all nations,

438

and the ends of the earth shall

see the salvation of our God.

439

This is why the disciples were saying.

440

Let's go, let's set up the kingdom.

441

This is great.

442

And even after the resurrection in

Acts chapter one, this is why the

443

disciples are now thinking, okay.

444

Okay, but surely now is the time.

445

And that's why they go to Jesus and

say, are you gonna set up the kingdom?

446

Now?

447

Is now the fulfillment

of Isaiah 51 and 52?

448

Is this it?

449

And he says, no it's not yet.

450

It's not yet.

451

But then 52 shifts beginning in verse

13 to talk about the first advent.

452

And so from 52 13 down through chapter

53, this is about the suffering servant,

453

and this is the chapter that's so often

read during Easter around Good Friday.

454

This is the one that it's even left out in

some synagogue readings today because of

455

how the Forbidden chapter, what'd you say?

456

It's the Forbidden chapter.

457

The Forbidden chapter.

458

Because it's so explicitly clear that

this is, speaking of what Jesus does,

459

anyone in human history fit this chapter?

460

Yeah.

461

Who could it be?

462

Who could it be?

463

Who could it be?

464

But just, some of the things that

come through here I think, that are

465

important for us are the key doctrines.

466

Some things like substitutionary

atonement I, that's all throughout

467

this, which means that Jesus took our

place on the cross, bore our sins and

468

satisfied God's wrath against our sins.

469

Because the greatest deliverance that was

needed was not freedom from Assyria or

470

Babylon, but the redemption from sins.

471

And that's what Israel needed.

472

That's what we need.

473

And for that.

474

Redemption to be accomplished.

475

It had to come first by the

suffering servant who died in our

476

place so that in the future we can

enjoy the benefits of his reign.

477

Yeah.

478

Penal Substitutionary Atonement is the

technical name of the theory of atonement

479

that we hold to now, don't get tripped up.

480

When I say the word theory, I use

that only because other people have

481

suggestions about how God ransom to

our souls and made us right with him.

482

We would look at his Isaiah 53 as one of

the critical chapters to understand the

483

nature of Jesus sacrifice on the cross.

484

What did it represent?

485

What did it do?

486

And in verse five, it says He

was pierced for what reason?

487

For our transgressions.

488

We would see his piercing not as just.

489

God pouring out his wrath in

a general sense, but he was

490

pierced for our transgressions.

491

And this is why we use the terminology

of Jesus was nailed on the cross for us.

492

He was crucified on our behalf.

493

He was suffering under the

wrath of God for you and for me.

494

And when we say that, we're saying he's.

495

Being penalized, penal,

substitutionary atonement.

496

He's being penalized as our

substitute to atone for our sin.

497

Surely he has born our griefs.

498

He's carried our sorrows.

499

He was pierced for our transgressions.

500

He was crushed for our iniquities,

and upon him was the chastisement or

501

the punishment that brought us peace.

502

It is his work on the cross absorbing the

wrath of God that makes us right with God.

503

Penal, substitutionary atonement,

critical to understand,

504

hugely evident in Isaiah 53.

505

Yeah.

506

Also I read 52 verse 10.

507

It says, the Lord has beared his holy

arm before the eyes of all the nations.

508

Now look at verse 50.

509

Chapter 53 verse one, and to whom has

the arm of the Lord been revealed?

510

And again, perhaps a callback

there to what he just said about

511

the arm of the Lord being Baird.

512

And this reminds us the way that it was

gonna be bair was not the way that they

513

expected it to be bair, but it was gonna

be barred through what you're talking

514

about here the penal substitutionary

atonement of Jesus Christ on the cross.

515

That's the strength in

the weakness, right?

516

That's the strength in the apparent.

517

The, in the victory, in the apparent

defeat is the beauty of the cross.

518

And and something that I've always loved

is verse 11, outta the anguish of his

519

soul, he shall see and be satisfied by

his knowledge, shall the righteous one

520

my servant, make many to be a counter

righteous the anguish of his soul.

521

He shall see and be satisfied.

522

And part of that satisfaction is gonna

come because he's gonna make many.

523

Righteous, he's gonna

bear their iniquities.

524

So if you go to Hebrews, when the writer

of Hebrews says that for the joy set

525

before him, he endured the cross part of

the joy set before Jesus was his knowledge

526

that by what he was doing, he was going

to redeem you and me from our sins.

527

That his sacrifice in the anguish of his

soul, he looked forward to the fact that

528

this was for the accomplishment of the

redemption of so many who would put their

529

faith in him as their Lord and Savior.

530

That's a pretty cool thought.

531

About about the redemption

that we have in Christ.

532

Man, this chapter is Rich.

533

We could talk a lot about this one

'cause this just gets us excited.

534

You there.

535

There's more than what I

just quoted in verse five.

536

In fact, what you just quoted, he makes

many to be accounted, righteous, right?

537

That's what we call justification.

538

Someone is made right in God's sight

while actually not being righteous.

539

This is the beauty of salvation.

540

We're made righteous in his sight

because of what Jesus has done.

541

This is such a precious chapter.

542

We hope that you spend some time with it.

543

Yeah, spend some time with it.

544

Yeah.

545

Yeah.

546

We'll wrap there.

547

Let's pray.

548

God, we thank you so much for that, that

reality that he came as the suffering

549

servant first so that we can have this

understanding that, that our sins that

550

we've committed, that is, that are

ours, that we're guilty of that he took

551

them, even as Paul is gonna write about

in Second Corinthians chapter five.

552

He took our sins and gave

us his righteousness.

553

And that great exchange takes place

because of this chapter, because

554

of Isaiah 53, because of your plan,

because it was the will of you.

555

To put him to death, to crush

him and to put him to grief.

556

That is a reality that we'll spend

eternity just grateful for and

557

grateful for because it is the gateway.

558

It's the doors the linchpin to

our faith that will enable us

559

to one day be in your presence

because of Jesus' sacrifice for us.

560

So thank you so much for that.

561

God, we pray this all in Jesus' name.

562

Amen.

563

Amen.
