Hey everybody.

2

Welcome back to another edition

of the Daily Bible Podcast.

3

Hello and hello.

4

Hello.

5

We're back midweek, what is it?

6

Tuesday?

7

Yeah.

8

So not quite midweek, but almost midweek.

9

And we are trucking right

along in our reading.

10

We're in numbers 11 through 13

and the rest of Mark chapter five.

11

But yeah, exciting things going on.

12

You've heard some big

announcements from us coming up.

13

We've got Easter coming up.

14

It's a good time for you to start

thinking about inviting people to.

15

Join us at church inviting people to

join us for our Easter services.

16

We're doing two.

17

You heard that We're gonna do

two Good Friday services as well.

18

So the Friday before we're doing a four

o'clock and a five 30 for Good Friday.

19

And so that should be a great

time for us to have a time

20

of reflection on the cross.

21

We're gonna do communion

at our Good Friday service.

22

We're probably not gonna do communion

on Sunday morning for Easter Sunday.

23

And it's not that we.

24

Couldn't, or that it would be outta place.

25

But at the same time, Easter Sunday is

really focused on the resurrection of

26

Christ and communion is meant to call

us to remember the death of Christ.

27

So we are gonna observe it on

Good Friday, which is certainly

28

appropriate as we reflect on the cross.

29

But it is technically the first Sunday of

the month on April 5th, but we're gonna

30

wait for the next Sunday to do communion

together as the church on Sunday.

31

Heresy, you know, hair red.

32

As often as you do this.

33

Yeah.

34

That means weekly buddy does it,

or even then more than daily.

35

Even daily.

36

So on that note, we've been reading

the same church history series.

37

Yes, we have.

38

And you know, the observance of

communion on a weekly basis, that's

39

something that is interesting.

40

I don't have a strong dog in the fight

as far as whether or not it's okay or to

41

do it, you know, monthly versus weekly.

42

I don't think what we're doing is wrong.

43

And one of the reasons why we don't do

it weekly is those that do it weekly.

44

The danger on that end is it can lose

its significance because it becomes.

45

Background noise, it becomes something

that you do every single week.

46

And the argument against that I

know is, well, we preach every

47

week, we sing songs every week.

48

And so it's not that it has to be

that, but yeah, communion's one of

49

those things where there is freedom.

50

'cause there isn't a prescription

given in scripture that says you

51

have to do this this many times.

52

Yeah.

53

So I, I think one of the things

that I've learned is that the

54

early church has so much to teach us

because they have fought battles on

55

things that we all take for granted.

56

And one of the things that I've

been seeing more and more, and I've

57

studied church history before.

58

I've taken, I don't know, two

classes I think in seminary

59

that were church history based.

60

But this reading Nick Needham's

books have been so helpful to me

61

because it just, it reads so well.

62

It reads like a story.

63

It has actors and drama and he just

highlights all these cool things.

64

So I've really been enjoying this and

been reminded about how many battles are

65

fought, especially in the early church.

66

For things that are

pretty common to us today.

67

Things that we, again, we just take

for granted, but things like the

68

communion supper Lord supper, these

are the things that we just do.

69

Yeah.

70

And we don't think twice about

it, but for the early church,

71

these things were hammered out.

72

Yeah.

73

And, and I playfully called

you a heretic, as they often do.

74

But I think the early church though,

like these guys were for real, like,

75

dude, what are you talking about?

76

We're not doing it weekly.

77

How dare you son of the devil,

you know, one of these things.

78

Yeah.

79

So I think it's one of those things

biblically then people will say, but

80

doesn't it say as often as you do

this, do this and remember it's me.

81

Something like that.

82

Yeah.

83

they're gonna say that.

84

And we're Bible people,

so we respect the Bible.

85

Anytime they're gonna make a

biblical argument, we wanna

86

be able to respond to that.

87

So respond to that idea.

88

Well, that's what it says, as

often as you do this, as often

89

as you observe communion, do

this as in remembrance of me.

90

It doesn't say as often as

you gather, have communion.

91

That's right.

92

That would be a clear biblical

command that if that was the command.

93

We would be transgressing that right now.

94

So this is one of those things where

we have to, as Protestant Christians,

95

deal with the relationship of biblical

authority and the authority of

96

church tradition and church history.

97

as you're saying, and to your

point, there's a lot for us to

98

learn from the church and from

history and from the tradition of

99

the way the church has done things.

100

But the authority that we

subject ourselves to as

101

Protestants is sola scriptura.

102

That was the cry of the reformation, and

103

that is what we adhere to.

104

That is what we hold fast to.

105

So churches that do it

every week are not in sin.

106

Churches that don't do it

every week are not in sin.

107

Churches that don't do

it, they are in sin.

108

That's right.

109

And, and just to quote it here,

110

Here's how Paul quotes Jesus.

111

He says, this cup is a

new covenant in my blood.

112

Do this as often as you drink

it in remembrance of me.

113

For as often as you eat this bread

and drink the cup, you proclaim the

114

Lord's death until he comes right.

115

That gives us freedom.

116

And that that's exactly what it says.

117

And , we're gonna take it for what he

says it says as often as you do it.

118

So again, to your point, it's about

a frequency that I think is free

119

for us to make a decision about.

120

That doesn't mean we love Jesus

any less if we do it once.

121

A, I think we, our

pattern is once a month.

122

Once a month.

123

Yeah.

124

It doesn't that you love Jesus

more if you do it once a week.

125

Right.

126

It isn't matter of tradition.

127

Right.

128

And judgment that you make on that.

129

And speaking of judgment, people have

been clamoring for King's Hawaiian

130

bread instead of the little crackers.

131

I don't, I feel like lots of

people would really like that.

132

I think that's got some lemon in it.

133

I don't know.

134

But see, this is a New Testament freedom.

135

New Freedom Testament.

136

Okay.

137

First Corinthian Romans 14.

138

What if I'm sitting there going,

okay, but I like doing it every week.

139

So I'm gonna do community

at home with my family.

140

Oof.

141

Alright, so our answer is gonna be,

we don't think you should do that.

142

We think these are church ordinances

that are rightly done within the

143

context of the local church gathering.

144

And even though your family might be

Christians we wouldn't call that a church.

145

As such, per se, a church is a

gathering of pastors and parishioners

146

who are there for the express purpose

of saying, we're here to glorify God

147

together in this particular context.

148

Your family might be Christians, but

that doesn't qualify as a church.

149

Right.

150

We would agree.

151

I would agree with you on that, and we

would apply that to baptism as well.

152

We think baptism should be done within

the . Context of the local church.

153

So here's the pushback, okay?

154

Because I know people are gonna be

thinking it, but you go to shut-ins

155

and you go to a prisoner who's

about to die and you'll do it there.

156

I trust, you'll make

exceptions to the rule, right?

157

So why, why the inconsistency?

158

Because those are exceptions to the rule.

159

I mean, we don't wanna take

somebody who is a shut in that

160

can't make it to church, can't.

161

Be there because of their health

or whatever that may be, and say,

162

well, we're gonna exclude you from

participating in something like the

163

Ordinance of the Lord's Supper.

164

There's an opportunity for us as pastors

to go and administer that to them.

165

On behalf of the church as

representatives of the church and the

166

authority of the church as pastors,

to be able to even go and do that.

167

And I would apply the same

to somebody who's a prisoner.

168

Obviously, they're not gonna get

released to come and be baptized at the

169

church and then go back to to prison.

170

So there's exceptions to the rule,

but they are exceptions, not norms.

171

So I have heard people say,

well, under the new Covenant the

172

priest is the head of his family,

so he has freedom to do that and.

173

I don't understand why you're

being such a stickler about this.

174

This sounds like legalism.

175

This is you exercising your

authority in an un ungodly way.

176

You're ruling unjustly.

177

First.

178

Peter, chapter five says, you shouldn't

exercise oversight in this particular way.

179

So , what's going on with you?

180

That was a lot, man.

181

Do you, do you have more, do

you have more verses though?

182

Speaking for the people.

183

So first Corinthians chapter

11, , you referenced the

184

quote from, from Paul there.

185

If you look at the first Corinthians

chapter 11, you can't get away from

186

the fact that this was designed

to be the church coming together.

187

He says, when you come together,

you are coming together to

188

eat in an unworthy manner.

189

And he's actually chastising them for

coming together , and gorging themselves

190

on the last supper food instead of

eating beforehand and coming to just

191

use this as a memorial as it's intended.

192

And so this is.

193

Intended.

194

This is , the context biblically, this

isn't church history at this point.

195

This is the biblical model that we see

in one Corinthians 11 is when you come

196

together, and that's even the word,

communion is stressing, coming together.

197

And you may be the priest of your family,

but your family is not the church.

198

Your family is part of the church,

but your home is not the church.

199

The the church is.

200

What God has has created, and it's

through , the local church is through

201

the gathering, under the pastors, under

the shepherds with , the authority of

202

the local church in , the context there.

203

That's the church.

204

Now, you may say, well,

house churches exist.

205

Okay?

206

, are you establishing

yourself as a house church?

207

Are you gonna make that that claim?

208

You're gonna be a house church now,

and that's what you're gonna do.

209

, and are we gonna talk about

biblical qualifications for you

210

as an elder of that house, church?

211

And who is commissioning

you to be a church there?

212

Yes, house churches exist.

213

We're not arguing that they don't, but

you wanting to do communion at home

214

with your family or in the backyard

together with a family reunion.

215

, you can't be like, well, we're gonna

be a house church for tonight, and then

216

we're not gonna be a house church anymore

because we're gonna go back to the church.

217

These are ordinances of the church.

218

They're designed by that way.

219

They're given to the church

to be practiced by the church.

220

I'm not trying to , be heavy

handed , or pejorative towards you.

221

I just, I'm saying this is what

scripture teaches and we want to

222

follow what scripture teaches on it.

223

Yeah.

224

And there's a whole

thing with authority too.

225

, there is authority in the past

written , our authority is for the

226

extent of exercising on your behalf.

227

Right.

228

Fencing the table is

part of that authority.

229

Totally.

230

Our job is to help you ensure

that you're right with the Lord as

231

you take the bread and the cup.

232

Yeah.

233

Yep.

234

So hopefully that was a helpful

discussion and let's get into our

235

daily Bible reading for today.

236

Numbers 11 through 13 and the

rest of Mark chapter five.

237

Numbers 11.

238

Man, same old story.

239

Everything was going well.

240

We had the GPS active,

now we're leaving Sinai.

241

Things are gonna be great.

242

And yet, here come the people

grumbling and complaining again.

243

And Chapter 11 so fascinating because

what we find in chapter 11 is God will.

244

Punish the people by giving

them exactly what they want.

245

And they will find that what they want,

what they craved is exactly the thing

246

that is gonna become loathsome to them.

247

and so often that's the

case with us in sin.

248

We go after what we feel like we want.

249

And sometimes even in Romans one, God

talks about turning people over to

250

their saying, you want that and you

think that's gonna make you happy.

251

You think that's what you need?

252

Okay, fine.

253

Here, I'm gonna let you have it.

254

And it's those that experience his grace

that come to the realization that, oh

255

man, what I wanted is not satisfying me.

256

What I wanted is not really what I needed.

257

I should have trusted what God

has provided for me instead of

258

wanting more than what he's given.

259

And that's what he does here in

chapter 11, that people want meat.

260

He's gonna give them quail.

261

He's also gonna send a plague.

262

And this plague is gonna do.

263

Some pretty significant damage and

Moses is gonna have to intercede.

264

And again, we see Moses' humility here.

265

And Moses is going to step in and he's

gonna ask God to put an end to this.

266

But this is God's wrath being

poured out upon the people.

267

And we're gonna see more

and more of that now.

268

The people are gonna complain

and there's gonna be wrath in

269

response to their complaining.

270

Chapter 12, then we get some more

opposition to Moses this time.

271

It is not the people grumbling so much

as it is Moses' own family grumbling.

272

And this is one of those where

you sit back, you say Really,

273

really Miriam and, and Aaron.

274

It's you guys this time and that's.

275

Surely who it is, they're gonna come

and they're gonna protest and basically

276

say, wait a second, why is it just you?

277

Why doesn't God speak through us too?

278

In fact, doesn't he speak through us?

279

And so Moses is going to be a man

of humility here, as he often is

280

and he is mourning over this.

281

And yet God is the one that's gonna

intervene and say Moses is the one that I.

282

Have appointed to this role.

283

Verse seven.

284

Not so with my servant Moses.

285

He's faithful in all my house.

286

The writer of Hebrews is gonna pick

up on that in Hebrews chapter three.

287

But he says with him, I speak mouth

to mouth clearly and not in riddles,

288

and he beholds the form of the Lord.

289

Why were you not afraid to

speak against my servant, Moses?

290

And then God is gonna pour out

his wrath on Miriam by making

291

her lepers for a period of time.

292

And she's gonna have to

be shut outside the camp.

293

She's gonna suffer

consequences for her sins.

294

But here the, the.

295

Own family members.

296

His brother and sister are gonna grumble

against him and want his authority.

297

I think I see a theme between chapters

11 and 12 in that there's a deadly

298

lack of contentment deadly for the

people who complained against the

299

the Lord and Moses and Aaron by

saying, we want this, we want that.

300

They're misremembering what

their time in Egypt was.

301

And in chapter 12, Aaron and.

302

Miriam seemed like they're not content

with the leader that Moses is, and maybe

303

his whole situation with his wife being

a cushite, maybe that's just pretense or,

304

a pretext for their discontentedness.

305

But whatever it is, the

Lord deals with that.

306

And I wanna point that out to you

because it showcases here the fact that

307

we so easily can clamor and complain,

and ultimately every time we just have

308

to think about this, every time we do

that, we're doing it against the Lord.

309

We might be complaining about the

traffic, but that's the Lord's traffic.

310

It's the Lord's world.

311

We can't get outside of that.

312

Everything that exists exists

because God allows it to exist.

313

He's the one who sustains the whole

universe by the word of his power.

314

Hebrew chapter one says, so we have

to be careful with what we say when

315

we're complaining, even if we think

it's a good complaint, like, oh,

316

it's legitimately a problem.

317

How we complain is as important.

318

In that we complain.

319

Yeah.

320

When we complain, it's

gotta be done the right way.

321

And that's why the Psalms of Lament exist.

322

They're there to help teach us what it

looks like to complain in a godly way.

323

Everything short of that, I think

you're asking for God's discipline.

324

Yeah.

325

Well, chapter 13 we get some new

instructions and this is gonna be,

326

again, they've left Sinai, they're moving

towards the Promised Land at this point.

327

And the Lord is gonna give

Moses instructions to send

328

spies into the promised land.

329

And so there's going to be a man

chosen from each of the tribes.

330

They're gonna go.

331

And among them are two

men that are chosen that.

332

Stand out to us, and that is gonna be

Caleb and a man whose name Ishe, at

333

least here in verse seven or verse eight.

334

Who we find out in verse 16 is going to be

Joshua Moses called the son of Nun Joshua.

335

So Caleb and Joshua, those are two names

to remember here, because Moses is gonna

336

send this group to go spy out the land

and see what it is and see if it's

337

worthy of everything God has said it is.

338

And if the people are

ready to go up take it.

339

And what we find is the spies come

back and say, yeah, this land is

340

amazing, and it's everything that God

has promised it is, and it's so good.

341

And it's flowing with milk and honey.

342

And look at the fruit.

343

Look at these grape clusters.

344

It's massive.

345

This is such a good place, but.

346

But we don't want to go.

347

We don't wanna go because the people there

are really big and really scary and we

348

don't think that we can put up the fight

that's necessary for us to take the land.

349

And yet Caleb is gonna stand

up and he's gonna say, we need

350

to go up at once and occupy it.

351

Verse 30 for we are.

352

Able to overcome it.

353

So in the, in the face of Faithlessness,

which is the, the other spies,

354

you've got Caleb, and then we

also know Joshua too, saying, no,

355

we can do this, we can do this.

356

It's interesting there in verse 33

to note that the Nephilim are present

357

because we saw them last in Genesis

chapter six before the worldwide flood.

358

So the Nephilim are back,

interesting that that they came back.

359

And so if, and I think we talked about

this back in Genesis chapter six.

360

It said the Nephilim were on the

land when the Sons of God came

361

to the daughters of men, that the

Nephilim were not necessarily the

362

offspring of that sinful union.

363

That they were a group of people

that were on the earth known for

364

their size, known for their renowned.

365

So whether this is the

same or whether this is a.

366

Categorical name that

says, Hey, the Nephilim.

367

They were like those people,

they're giants, they're huge.

368

They appear again here

in number chapter 13.

369

Yeah.

370

Or it's possible.

371

The angels were doing their own

shenanigans again, or the spies are

372

using that terminology to scare people.

373

Like, Hey man, the nephilim are there.

374

You don't wanna mess with those guys.

375

Remember those guys?

376

Right.

377

So there's a lot of things

that could be happening here.

378

I don't think that's a.

379

I, I wouldn't take, I wouldn't

put a whole lot of stock in

380

that, at least as of right now.

381

But this whole episode here important

to note that there's a, there's a spy

382

from every tribe, and that spy from the

tribe is not just a John Doe average.

383

In verse two, it says that from each tribe

of their fathers, you shall send a man.

384

Everyone, a chief among them.

385

So these are the leaders.

386

These are not the followers, these are

the people that have authority and have

387

a role to serve the people by helping

lead them the way that God calls 'em.

388

And so when they make this mistake here,

and that's putting it mildly, isn't it?

389

When they sin against the people and

against the Lord by saying, let's not

390

do this, this is a really big deal.

391

If fast for PG was like, Hey, we're

going to two services, but guys, I'm

392

terrified, this is not gonna go well.

393

People aren't gonna come,

no one's gonna serve.

394

I don't know if we should be doing this.

395

I don't think you're gonna feel

very confident that this is a

396

good move and for good reason.

397

You shouldn't, you shouldn't.

398

Here you understand why the

people automatically rebel.

399

And so leaders carry a responsibility

not only to manage their own soul, but

400

to do it for the sake of others as well.

401

Yeah.

402

Their failure resulted in the failure

of the whole of Israel for 40 years.

403

Oof.

404

Yeah.

405

That's rough.

406

By the way, you should be

excited about two surfaces.

407

I read fear into your voice.

408

I just, so that's why I brought it up.

409

Giving you a chance to clarify.

410

Not afraid, man.

411

Not afraid.

412

Super excited.

413

I think it's gonna be awesome.

414

All right, well, hey, let's

flip over to Mark chapter five.

415

Mark chapter five, verses 21 through 43.

416

We are finishing up chapter

five, and we're gonna do so

417

with these two different.

418

Storylines.

419

So the first one is the

ruler of the synagogue.

420

This man Jairus comes to Jesus

and pleased with Jesus to come

421

and, and help his daughter.

422

His daughter is at the point of death,

he says, and we're gonna find out

423

that that is definitely the case.

424

This is not an exaggeration because

while Jesus is on the way to help

425

Jairus and his daughter he's gonna be

intercepted and there's a large crowd.

426

Mark makes a point over and over again

about how many people flock to Jesus.

427

Well, there's one woman in particular

who reaches out and touches Jesus and.

428

As she touches the hem of

his garment, she's healed from

429

an affliction that she had.

430

She had had this discharge for years

here, 12 years, this discharge of blood,

431

and notice it said, who had suffered

under many physicians and spent all she

432

had and was no better, but grew worse.

433

And yet, here's Jesus.

434

She reaches out, she touches

the hem of his garment, and

435

she's immediately made well.

436

Jesus stops down says somebody touched me.

437

The disciples say, are you kidding me?

438

Look at the crowd around you.

439

He says, no, no, no.

440

Power went out from me.

441

The woman knows that she's been exposed.

442

She comes forward, she says, it was me.

443

I did it.

444

Jesus commends her faith and affirms

and confirms the fact that she has

445

indeed been healed at that point.

446

And I think one of the takeaways here

with this woman when it says that she

447

had suffered under many physicians and

spent all she had and was no better, but

448

grew worse, it just reminds me of how.

449

Often the world will seek help and

satisfaction and contentment and

450

peace from so many other sources

except for the only source that

451

it really can ultimately be found.

452

And that's Christ.

453

Mm-hmm.

454

And so this woman, I think, typifies

the lost world in the fact that she had

455

gone to all of these other physicians

promising to be able to help her.

456

But in the end, all she is is

she's much poorer and she's

457

still got the same problem.

458

And that's true of sin in our lives too.

459

We have to go to Christ.

460

Christ is the only one that can provide

the healing that we ultimately need.

461

Now you feel for her?

462

She's desperate, clearly.

463

For sure.

464

She's exhausted

465

her finances, and I think all of us would

understand this if we had an an illness.

466

Yeah.

467

That threatened our lives.

468

All of us would be like, let's

just throw all our money at it.

469

Let's see what we can do.

470

Let's see all the doctors.

471

Let's get the x-rays, let's

get the blood examined.

472

All the things we get her and

Jesus gets her even more than we

473

do because he shows her the kind of

compassion that is unique to Jesus.

474

Yeah.

475

His love for his people,

his love for people.

476

Period is so clear here.

477

And Mark, mark does this thing

where he likes to sandwich stories

478

to give you a sense of like, here's

how these two things fit together.

479

And so in this story, the sandwich is two.

480

Notice there's a repetition here.

481

There's two 12 year things.

482

One's a 12 year affliction.

483

One's a 12-year-old girl.

484

One's a 12-year-old daughter,

and the other one's a daughter

485

who suffered for 12 years.

486

It says at verse 34, daughter,

your faith has made you well.

487

So.

488

12 years.

489

12 years.

490

Daughter, daughter, Jesus is

showing kindness to both of them.

491

This is the the care

and compassion of Jesus.

492

And by the way, did you notice

that as Jesus is on the way to

493

you, made the point here, , this

12-year-old girl is on her deathbed.

494

Yeah.

495

And yet he's interrupted by this

gal with the 12 year affliction.

496

He doesn't respond, like, think, like

most of us would respond with annoyance.

497

Like, I'm on my way to do

something important, guys.

498

Right?

499

Right.

500

Come on, get outta my way.

501

I'm doing things I this poor girl.

502

, and you would think because he's

compassionate, he might feel a

503

sense of righteous indignation.

504

Like, I'm doing something important.

505

I'm about to go save someone's life here.

506

And this woman, with her affliction

says, hold on Messiah, I need you master.

507

And she touches him and he's

like, whoa, time to stop.

508

I was convicted by that

because that's not my mind.

509

That's not, I'm thinking, I'm

doing important work here.

510

I got this thing to do.

511

I got places to be.

512

And yet the interruption doesn't

throw Jesus off even a little bit.

513

He's never too busy to serve people.

514

And I just, I need to hear that.

515

I need to say that to

myself over and over again.

516

I love these, these stories because

they're just so indicative of the

517

heart of Jesus and man, I want that.

518

Yeah, because people are the ministry.

519

People are the ministry.

520

That's a good saying.

521

You should say that.

522

Yeah.

523

Yeah.

524

I think of Jairus in this moment 'cause

525

we don't know what Jairus is thinking.

526

He's like, Jesus, right.

527

Come on.

528

He might've been like, come on,

you got a more important place.

529

Yeah.

530

Because in this interaction, this is when

somebody comes up to Jairus and says,

531

Hey, don't bother the teacher anymore.

532

Your daughter's dead.

533

And you just think, oh, he was

taking time talking to this gal.

534

Yeah.

535

She could have been alive.

536

Yeah.

537

Yeah.

538

You're absolutely right.

539

Yeah.

540

And that's probably another point for

us to think about when Jesus is slow to

541

answer our prayers, and yet he seems to

like he's answering someone else's prayer.

542

He's doing good things in their life.

543

Yeah.

544

And yet in my life, he's

just dragging his heels.

545

Oof.

546

Yeah.

547

This is good.

548

And yet Jesus goes, and if

you don't know the rest of the

549

story, , you'll read it here.

550

He shows up.

551

He says, don't worry, she's just asleep.

552

She's not dead.

553

And everybody laughs at him.

554

And he goes up into the room, takes her

by the hand and says to Letha, Kumi, which

555

means a little girl, I say to you, arise.

556

And immediately the girl

got up and began walking.

557

And there it says that note.

558

She was 12 year, 12 years of age, and they

immediately were overcome with amazement.

559

And yet Jesus says, don't

tell anybody about this.

560

Yeah.

561

A messianic secret.

562

Yeah.

563

People knew what death looked like.

564

Yeah.

565

In fact, more than we do.

566

Even though they didn't have

the same technology, right.

567

They knew death because

they saw it all the time.

568

All the time, time.

569

They killed their animals.

570

They saw people live and die.

571

They just knew that, so

there's not a mistake here.

572

Right.

573

It's not like, oops.

574

She was actually just napping, silly us.

575

Right.

576

They knew.

577

this is Mark painting for us

a picture, and this is Jesus

578

pointing to the fact that death

is really just a temporary sleep.

579

Yeah.

580

Everyone's gonna be

resurrected at some point.

581

She got her resurrection earlier and

this is only really a resuscitation

582

because she would eventually die again.

583

Yep.

584

Yeah.

585

Well, hey, let's pray and then

we'll be done with this episode.

586

Lord, we thank you for your

compassion towards us that you came

587

in and sought us out and opened

our eyes to our need for salvation.

588

Lord, that we had been just like

this woman seeking satisfaction,

589

seeking hope, seeking.

590

Peace seeking.

591

Comfort seeking whatever it is from

anywhere else and all these other

592

possible means and avenues, and sometimes

even from our own self-righteousness,

593

when you were finally the one that

broke through and and truly healed

594

us with the healing that we needed

through faith and repentance in Jesus.

595

And so we thank you so much for that, and

we pray that we would be your ambassadors.

596

You haven't told us, don't tell anyone.

597

In fact, you've told us

the opposite is the church.

598

Go and tell everyone.

599

And so we wanna be

faithful to do just that.

600

We pray this in Jesus' name.

601

Amen.

602

Well, hey, y'all keep

reading those Bibles.
