00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.160
 And we come to this next part of the story, which is one of the great miracles that Christ performs.

00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:11.700
 And we're going to kind of dig into that tonight. And just kind of coming here tonight, just kind

00:00:11.700 --> 00:00:16.899
 of being in a rush. I forgot my coat because in the midst of that, I almost forgot my cell phone

00:00:16.899 --> 00:00:23.760
 because I forgot where I put that. And just kind of in that hustle and bustle of always thinking

00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:28.679
 of where you need to be, you kind of get lost in the things that you're kind of doing right now.

00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:34.000
 And we're going to see a people like that tonight as they're in this rush to get to this place,

00:00:34.299 --> 00:00:40.340
 to see something or to see someone. They kind of forget something in the process. They're

00:00:40.340 --> 00:00:44.539
 on their way. They're excited about where they're going. So they kind of forget what they need

00:00:44.539 --> 00:00:51.640
 to bring or what they need to carry with them in this process. So if you want to turn with

00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:59.820
 me to Mark chapter six and we'll begin at verse 30, I think it's on page 841 in your pew Bibles.

00:00:59.820 --> 00:01:22.060
 Lord, we come to you as needy as this people was coming to you. Though they didn't recognize

00:01:22.060 --> 00:01:28.180
 every need they had, they may not even recognize the most important need they had.

00:01:29.700 --> 00:01:38.060
 But just in our blindness, we see that you shepherd us, that you guide us, that you're leading us back

00:01:38.060 --> 00:01:46.060
 to yourself. Through your love, through your mercy and grace, you have compassion on us.

00:01:46.060 --> 00:01:54.560
 And you provide us with truth. You provide us with so many things that we need and that we long for.

00:01:56.400 --> 00:02:03.599
 And that hopefully, Lord, that in the process of wading through those things that we see that we need you

00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:07.840
 the most, and that's what our hearts truly long for.

00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:21.300
 Lord, that we may be able to see how great you are and to see how your word always points back to you

00:02:21.300 --> 00:02:27.819
 and how your miracles reveal such great things about you and who you are. In Christ's name, amen.

00:02:30.099 --> 00:02:33.759
 So I'll start off by reading the passage for us.

00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:39.099
 And the apostles returned to Jesus and told him all they had done and taught.

00:02:39.699 --> 00:02:44.819
 And he said to them, come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest a while.

00:02:45.379 --> 00:02:48.519
 For many were coming and going and they had no leisure to even eat.

00:02:49.019 --> 00:02:52.159
 And they went away to a boat to a desolate place by themselves.

00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:56.560
 Now many saw them going and recognized them.

00:02:56.939 --> 00:03:02.519
 And they ran there on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them.

00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:09.300
 When they went ashore, he saw a great crowd and had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd.

00:03:10.140 --> 00:03:12.120
 And he began to teach them many things.

00:03:12.540 --> 00:03:18.540
 And when it grew late, his disciples came to him and said, this is a desolate place and the hour is now late.

00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:24.760
 Send them away and go into the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.

00:03:25.180 --> 00:03:28.180
 But he answered them, you give them something to eat.

00:03:28.180 --> 00:03:33.740
 And they said to him, shall we go and buy 200 denarii worth of bread and give it to them to eat?

00:03:34.219 --> 00:03:36.340
 And he said to them, how many loaves do you have?

00:03:36.460 --> 00:03:37.080
 Go and see.

00:03:37.920 --> 00:03:41.700
 And when they had found out, they said, five and two fish.

00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:45.480
 And he commanded them all to sit in groups on the green grass.

00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:49.379
 So they sat down in groups by hundreds and by fifties.

00:03:50.179 --> 00:03:59.060
 And taking the five loaves and two fish, he looked up to heaven and said a blessing and broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples to set before the people.

00:03:59.259 --> 00:04:01.259
 And he divided the two fish among them all.

00:04:01.979 --> 00:04:03.899
 And they all ate and were satisfied.

00:04:04.859 --> 00:04:08.359
 And he took the 12 baskets full of broken pieces and the fish.

00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:11.300
 And those who ate the loaves were 5,000 men.

00:04:19.180 --> 00:04:21.460
 So we kind of see a few things in this text.

00:04:23.580 --> 00:04:25.780
 One thing, Jesus is a good caterer.

00:04:28.740 --> 00:04:30.199
 He just walks up here.

00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:31.900
 He sees all these people.

00:04:33.020 --> 00:04:34.139
 Surely they must be hungry.

00:04:34.660 --> 00:04:35.360
 Let me feed them.

00:04:36.220 --> 00:04:38.259
 Tell the little boy over there to give me his crackers.

00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:39.060
 And his fish.

00:04:39.400 --> 00:04:40.660
 And I'll feed all these people.

00:04:41.500 --> 00:04:45.280
 And I feel that's how this miracle is kind of portrayed to our culture sometimes.

00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:48.280
 It's kind of, Jesus, he was at this place.

00:04:48.860 --> 00:04:49.319
 It was great.

00:04:49.420 --> 00:04:50.400
 He fed all these people.

00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:52.139
 Surely he must have been a nice guy.

00:04:53.280 --> 00:04:54.840
 He was pretty decent.

00:04:55.560 --> 00:05:00.040
 He didn't make all these people walk back to all the surrounding towns and get their food.

00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:01.920
 And he fed them.

00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:03.259
 He fed them himself.

00:05:03.819 --> 00:05:05.639
 So surely he must be a nice guy.

00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:10.079
 But is there something more here that we're kind of missing about this story?

00:05:10.659 --> 00:05:14.819
 Is it just about him feeding these people with loaves and fish?

00:05:14.819 --> 00:05:30.439
 And if you've kind of been following this series or doing any reading in the Gospels, you kind of see that the miracles that Christ shows us, they're not just to provide for those needs that kind of seem obvious.

00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:32.839
 But they're bigger.

00:05:32.980 --> 00:05:34.959
 They're revealing something about himself.

00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:43.919
 And as John puts it in at the end of his Gospel, like, he specifically picks these seven signs.

00:05:44.579 --> 00:05:45.319
 And he writes,

00:05:46.139 --> 00:05:51.179
 And these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.

00:05:52.179 --> 00:05:54.759
 And by believing in his name, you may have eternal life.

00:05:54.759 --> 00:06:00.699
 And even Mark, in his Gospel, he states that this is the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

00:06:01.259 --> 00:06:09.800
 So explicitly, they're stating something here that's very significant, that they're trying to prove, that they're taking an account of, and they want us to see.

00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:15.939
 And that fact is, they want us to see that Jesus is our Messiah, like he's the Son of God.

00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:17.740
 That's the point that they're trying to make.

00:06:17.740 --> 00:06:26.040
 And not that these people got healed, but not that that's an insignificant thing, but there's something greater that they want us to see.

00:06:26.840 --> 00:06:38.560
 So hopefully, through these five flows, we begin to see something greater, that Jesus is this good shepherd, that he's this great and good and loving and compassionate shepherd who provides for his people.

00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:49.259
 So, as we begin to look at the text in verse 30, we see here the disciples coming back.

00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:54.019
 They're coming back to Jesus to tell of all they've taught and all they've done.

00:06:54.720 --> 00:07:01.600
 And kind of looking back early in the chapter in verse 7, Jesus gives them authority over unclean spirits.

00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:12.220
 And they go out, and it says, they proclaim that people should repent, and they cast out many demons and anointed with oil, many that were sick, and they were healed.

00:07:12.740 --> 00:07:17.600
 So they did all these great signs and doing all these great things the way when Jesus sent them out.

00:07:18.640 --> 00:07:19.820
 So they get back.

00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:22.480
 He probably notices they're kind of weary.

00:07:22.580 --> 00:07:25.040
 They're kind of tired from all the traveling they were doing.

00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:26.820
 So what does he tell them?

00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:29.120
 Come away to a desolate place.

00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:37.240
 So they're on their way to this desolate place.

00:07:38.939 --> 00:07:41.000
 And these people hear about it.

00:07:41.939 --> 00:07:46.400
 And they begin to tell one another, I'm sure.

00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:48.480
 And they begin to tell more people.

00:07:48.900 --> 00:07:52.200
 And then they begin to start to run, as it says.

00:07:54.660 --> 00:07:57.860
 As it says here, like, they ran from all the villages around there.

00:07:58.000 --> 00:07:58.980
 They were running.

00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:00.700
 They were going to see something.

00:08:00.699 --> 00:08:03.639
 And there was something there, something significant that was happening.

00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:07.180
 They were seeing all these signs that the apostles were doing.

00:08:07.259 --> 00:08:09.459
 They were seeing the signs and wonders that Jesus was doing.

00:08:09.979 --> 00:08:11.339
 And they wanted to be a part of that.

00:08:11.579 --> 00:08:13.279
 So they run to this desolate place.

00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:20.659
 So I guess the thing I think about is, like, what were the disciples thinking when they got there?

00:08:21.659 --> 00:08:24.259
 They were going there in hopes of rest and maybe eating.

00:08:24.259 --> 00:08:27.379
 And they get there and they see all these people.

00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:30.839
 I'm not sure if this crossed their mind.

00:08:31.019 --> 00:08:32.659
 But it could definitely cross my mind.

00:08:32.819 --> 00:08:35.759
 It's like, dang, my rest is interrupted.

00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:39.840
 I have this plan in mind.

00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:40.720
 Like, I want to rest.

00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:42.659
 But I'm getting phone calls.

00:08:42.819 --> 00:08:43.939
 I'm getting text messages.

00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:47.379
 Somebody singing loud in the shower next to me.

00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:50.439
 And I can't get any rest.

00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:56.680
 But in contrast to there, we see Christ at this point.

00:08:56.679 --> 00:09:03.039
 And it says in verse 34,

00:09:04.559 --> 00:09:10.120
 And when he came ashore, he saw the great crowd and had compassion on them,

00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:14.339
 because they were like sheep without a shepherd,

00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:16.799
 and began to teach them many things.

00:09:18.899 --> 00:09:22.899
 And to this point, I was reading this article

00:09:22.899 --> 00:09:26.620
 about from Ajit Fernando.

00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:30.100
 He's a minister and a pastor in Sri Lanka.

00:09:30.340 --> 00:09:32.159
 And he was just kind of talking about the frustration

00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:35.939
 and the tutorial that he kind of goes through in his work.

00:09:35.939 --> 00:09:39.059
 And he has this quote.

00:09:41.179 --> 00:09:42.240
 And he says,

00:09:43.819 --> 00:09:51.419
 As a leader, I am a bondservant to the people I lead.

00:09:51.419 --> 00:09:56.759
 And that means that my schedule is shaped more by their needs than mine.

00:09:58.979 --> 00:10:04.219
 And in these verses, we kind of see that as Christ is shaping his schedule

00:10:04.219 --> 00:10:07.079
 and what he's doing around the people that he's serving.

00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:12.759
 Because he came for really no other purpose than to seek and to save the lost,

00:10:12.899 --> 00:10:15.019
 as we read throughout the Gospels.

00:10:15.219 --> 00:10:18.879
 And as he kind of drives his points home in all he does.

00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:22.399
 And we kind of see that brought to fruition in the cross.

00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:27.779
 So his schedule begins to be shaped by the people that he's serving.

00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:32.080
 In this place where they're going to rest, they're going to eat,

00:10:32.539 --> 00:10:33.679
 they find all these people.

00:10:35.179 --> 00:10:37.980
 And immediately, he begins to teach them.

00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:40.240
 They don't wait and says,

00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:43.779
 No, me and my disciples are coming here to have our quiet time,

00:10:43.779 --> 00:10:48.559
 kind of go away, come back later type of thing.

00:10:48.699 --> 00:10:50.299
 They don't see the people at the shore.

00:10:50.459 --> 00:10:51.620
 Like, their place is kind of crowded.

00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:52.879
 Let's go somewhere else.

00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:55.959
 But they pull up to the shore.

00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:59.620
 Jesus gets out and begins to teach them many things.

00:10:59.620 --> 00:11:08.379
 And so, this great crowd.

00:11:09.220 --> 00:11:12.820
 I'm not sure if the Greek or Hebrew kind of adds anything to that,

00:11:12.919 --> 00:11:14.259
 but we know this crowd was great.

00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:17.600
 As you kind of read on, we see there are 5,000 men here.

00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:19.480
 And depending on who you talk to,

00:11:19.560 --> 00:11:23.220
 there are anywhere from 15 to 25,000 people here

00:11:23.220 --> 00:11:26.519
 when you start to get into the men, the women, and the children.

00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:31.059
 So, there was this great crowd here that had a need.

00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:34.579
 And Jesus says, they're like sheep without a shepherd.

00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:40.439
 So, we see him in his compassion.

00:11:41.819 --> 00:11:43.199
 He looked out at these people,

00:11:44.100 --> 00:11:45.980
 not because they had ran there

00:11:45.980 --> 00:11:49.579
 and they were kind of bent over and tired and exhausted.

00:11:51.059 --> 00:11:53.059
 He's looking at something deeper here.

00:11:53.879 --> 00:11:56.340
 Maybe some heart level issues that they're dealing with.

00:11:56.340 --> 00:11:57.259
 Like, they're wandering

00:11:57.259 --> 00:12:00.019
 and not knowing what they come in to see.

00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:02.000
 As we kind of see in John's gospel,

00:12:02.100 --> 00:12:04.320
 as he kind of brings up this same point.

00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:06.160
 Like, what did you come here to see?

00:12:06.259 --> 00:12:07.240
 And what were you seeking?

00:12:07.500 --> 00:12:10.580
 And he begins to ask those questions of these people.

00:12:11.160 --> 00:12:12.920
 Of like, why are you here?

00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:16.740
 Like, what's the point of you coming to see these things?

00:12:16.740 --> 00:12:22.799
 Because, so, we don't really see Jesus yet

00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:27.080
 begin to deal with the feeding and this physical need.

00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:29.220
 There's something spiritual here.

00:12:29.340 --> 00:12:31.060
 He begins to teach them truth.

00:12:31.740 --> 00:12:33.120
 In Luke's gospel, he says,

00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:35.539
 he starts to teach them about the kingdom of God.

00:12:35.659 --> 00:12:37.500
 He spoke to them about the kingdom of God.

00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:39.340
 And he brings up that point.

00:12:39.340 --> 00:12:42.399
 And first and foremost, we kind of see that,

00:12:42.519 --> 00:12:44.139
 see that come into play here.

00:12:46.300 --> 00:12:49.940
 So, so in his great provision, he, he begins to teach them.

00:12:49.940 --> 00:12:58.720
 And not knowing much about sheep,

00:12:59.300 --> 00:13:01.660
 I don't really know how to take that,

00:13:01.780 --> 00:13:05.180
 but you kind of see dogs.

00:13:05.280 --> 00:13:07.820
 They're kind of, if you set them loose in the wild,

00:13:07.880 --> 00:13:09.540
 they could probably fend for themselves.

00:13:10.040 --> 00:13:12.180
 We know cats are pretty much independent,

00:13:13.140 --> 00:13:15.840
 but kind of growing up on a farm around cows,

00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:18.180
 I figure they're pretty much like sheep.

00:13:18.260 --> 00:13:19.120
 They're herding animals.

00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:21.279
 They kind of go where you lead them.

00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:24.539
 And, and sometimes if you want to get out of the pasture

00:13:24.539 --> 00:13:27.700
 and you kind of notice them walking up along the fence,

00:13:27.860 --> 00:13:31.200
 trying to, trying to figure out where, where they got out,

00:13:31.340 --> 00:13:32.779
 where, where can they get back in?

00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:36.240
 And usually in, in, in that process,

00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:38.360
 me and my grandfather, my uncle,

00:13:38.519 --> 00:13:40.179
 whoever was there or whoever was available

00:13:40.179 --> 00:13:43.539
 had to end up guiding them back to where they needed to be.

00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:47.860
 And we see Jesus here kind of inserting himself

00:13:47.860 --> 00:13:50.100
 and saying like, I, I'm a shepherd.

00:13:50.180 --> 00:13:51.879
 I see these people, they have no shepherd.

00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:54.360
 So he begins to teach them.

00:13:54.419 --> 00:13:55.759
 He begins to give them truth.

00:13:57.940 --> 00:14:00.080
 And then we begin to see like, he's, he's, he's,

00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:00.980
 he's leading them.

00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:01.560
 He's guiding them.

00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:03.360
 He's giving them something that they'll need.

00:14:03.740 --> 00:14:06.539
 That's not necessarily going to take care of their,

00:14:06.539 --> 00:14:09.399
 their physical needs, but more so spiritual.

00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:13.019
 So some of you kind of thinking like, well,

00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:15.759
 is that the, the big idea he's trying to cross here?

00:14:15.860 --> 00:14:19.860
 Like our physical need, our physical needs are kind of irrelevant.

00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:23.919
 They're kind of less than, less than this great need.

00:14:24.079 --> 00:14:25.899
 Well, it is.

00:14:25.899 --> 00:14:32.799
 I guess in our spirituality, we say we're kind of fine.

00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:36.179
 We kind of take a little pinch of this, sprinkle a little death,

00:14:36.500 --> 00:14:40.720
 a dash of that, a little, a little serenity, a little meditation.

00:14:41.439 --> 00:14:43.840
 And we figure out we're, we're at peace with ourselves.

00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:45.019
 All is right with the world.

00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:48.259
 And, and spiritually we're fine through that.

00:14:48.259 --> 00:14:52.419
 But we may be saying we have these physical needs.

00:14:52.419 --> 00:14:55.439
 Like we may have student loan debt up to our eyes,

00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:59.399
 or we may be looking for our next meal or our home or,

00:14:59.480 --> 00:15:00.639
 or whatever that may be.

00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:02.659
 And those things are reported.

00:15:02.779 --> 00:15:07.759
 Those things are relevant, but those things are obvious.

00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:09.100
 We can see those things.

00:15:09.779 --> 00:15:13.580
 They may be even coming to mail with a big red last notice on them

00:15:13.580 --> 00:15:14.539
 or something like that.

00:15:14.539 --> 00:15:19.959
 But heart level issues, issues that deal with our spirit and our soul,

00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:22.120
 like those things are a little bit harder to identify.

00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:26.799
 But we always try to use physical means to fix them.

00:15:27.839 --> 00:15:29.559
 Like I feel insignificant.

00:15:30.219 --> 00:15:32.259
 Well, let me get a job that makes me feel important.

00:15:33.139 --> 00:15:33.899
 I'm lonely.

00:15:34.379 --> 00:15:37.620
 Let me get a girlfriend or a boyfriend or both,

00:15:38.299 --> 00:15:39.319
 as you kind of see happen.

00:15:39.980 --> 00:15:41.240
 I don't have any joy.

00:15:42.419 --> 00:15:44.459
 Well, let me think more part of those thoughts.

00:15:44.539 --> 00:15:47.959
 Let me live like every day is Friday type of thing.

00:15:50.599 --> 00:15:55.039
 So in this, I guess, in this struggle with us

00:15:55.039 --> 00:15:58.240
 to always be meeting our own needs

00:15:58.240 --> 00:15:59.919
 and meeting our own,

00:16:01.139 --> 00:16:02.480
 and just solving our own problems,

00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:03.959
 we kind of get caught up in that

00:16:03.959 --> 00:16:05.459
 where we're,

00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:08.099
 where we're always using these physical things

00:16:08.099 --> 00:16:09.419
 to kind of meet needs that,

00:16:09.719 --> 00:16:10.319
 that are,

00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:12.159
 that may not be physical.

00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:14.259
 And,

00:16:14.259 --> 00:16:22.519
 and as you kind of learn more about this crowd through John,

00:16:22.659 --> 00:16:24.659
 it kind of gets to a point where,

00:16:24.659 --> 00:16:27.379
 where Jesus begins to tell them their,

00:16:27.439 --> 00:16:28.579
 their biggest needs,

00:16:28.579 --> 00:16:30.519
 and they begin to talk about

00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:31.039
 what,

00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:32.279
 what do they need to do to,

00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:34.959
 do for this.

00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:36.139
 And he says,

00:16:36.259 --> 00:16:38.139
 but believe in the one that God has sent.

00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:39.379
 Believe in me.

00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:41.160
 And,

00:16:41.259 --> 00:16:43.100
 and we kind of see there,

00:16:44.100 --> 00:16:45.560
 as you kind of dive into more,

00:16:45.620 --> 00:16:47.120
 if you want to read that in your spare time,

00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:47.740
 you kind of,

00:16:48.300 --> 00:16:49.720
 you'll kind of get that bigger picture

00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:50.080
 of,

00:16:50.080 --> 00:16:51.259
 of what's going on here.

00:16:51.259 --> 00:16:54.480
 So,

00:16:54.639 --> 00:16:57.200
 we don't really see Jesus dismissing these,

00:16:57.200 --> 00:16:58.980
 these physical problems,

00:16:59.179 --> 00:16:59.399
 but,

00:16:59.899 --> 00:17:01.220
 we see here first dealing with

00:17:01.220 --> 00:17:02.580
 what's going with them spiritually.

00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:03.679
 He's giving them truth,

00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:04.779
 something to lead and,

00:17:04.779 --> 00:17:05.720
 and to guide them.

00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:07.119
 Not necessarily to,

00:17:07.180 --> 00:17:08.299
 to feed them at this point.

00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:10.619
 And we also see him healing them as well.

00:17:11.700 --> 00:17:12.940
 As you look in the,

00:17:12.940 --> 00:17:14.799
 the gospels of Matthew and,

00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:15.259
 and Luke,

00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:15.740
 it also,

00:17:16.099 --> 00:17:17.879
 it also introduces that point of,

00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:19.859
 of this physical healing that comes.

00:17:19.859 --> 00:17:20.579
 And,

00:17:20.579 --> 00:17:28.199
 and how loving and compassionate would he be

00:17:28.199 --> 00:17:31.019
 if he didn't address our spiritual need?

00:17:33.199 --> 00:17:33.759
 Us,

00:17:34.019 --> 00:17:35.479
 broken and sinful man,

00:17:36.019 --> 00:17:38.019
 separated from a holy and perfect God.

00:17:40.539 --> 00:17:42.839
 And nothing we can do to bridge that gap,

00:17:43.879 --> 00:17:45.000
 but believe in Christ.

00:17:46.199 --> 00:17:47.500
 How compassionate would he be

00:17:47.500 --> 00:17:49.559
 if he just kind of let that slide,

00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:49.899
 or,

00:17:49.899 --> 00:17:51.980
 or made little of that point here.

00:17:59.700 --> 00:18:01.059
 And then he kind of,

00:18:01.059 --> 00:18:06.559
 kind of goes on and,

00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:09.960
 and continues to minister to them

00:18:09.960 --> 00:18:11.159
 and to heal them

00:18:11.159 --> 00:18:11.480
 and,

00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:13.559
 and to teach them.

00:18:13.559 --> 00:18:21.759
 And we kind of see in this,

00:18:23.879 --> 00:18:25.539
 and see from John that,

00:18:26.220 --> 00:18:27.619
 that not all these people are,

00:18:27.700 --> 00:18:29.679
 are really believing in Jesus.

00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:30.119
 They're,

00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:31.200
 they're here for the bread.

00:18:31.299 --> 00:18:32.119
 They're here for the,

00:18:32.179 --> 00:18:33.339
 for the miracles.

00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:35.099
 They're here for the things he can do for them.

00:18:36.579 --> 00:18:37.480
 But yet we still,

00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:37.659
 he,

00:18:37.779 --> 00:18:39.859
 we still see his compassion in that as well

00:18:39.859 --> 00:18:41.199
 as he continues to,

00:18:41.199 --> 00:18:42.039
 to love and,

00:18:42.039 --> 00:18:43.159
 and to serve these people.

00:18:43.740 --> 00:18:45.459
 We see his common grace extended

00:18:45.459 --> 00:18:46.899
 to all these people that come.

00:18:48.019 --> 00:18:49.119
 Like there's no qualification

00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:50.699
 for the people he healed.

00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:53.000
 There are no applications they have to fill out.

00:18:53.099 --> 00:18:55.559
 There's no lottery system in place

00:18:55.559 --> 00:18:58.099
 for who gets the first piece of bread.

00:18:58.279 --> 00:18:59.419
 Like there's none of that in place.

00:18:59.500 --> 00:19:00.479
 We see Jesus here,

00:19:01.319 --> 00:19:02.639
 seeing that all people need to,

00:19:02.779 --> 00:19:02.879
 need,

00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:04.000
 have a need for him,

00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:05.559
 whether they realize it or not.

00:19:07.380 --> 00:19:08.700
 So in the midst of this,

00:19:10.259 --> 00:19:11.380
 it's getting late,

00:19:11.940 --> 00:19:13.240
 and his disciples come to him.

00:19:14.859 --> 00:19:16.119
 And at this point they say,

00:19:16.339 --> 00:19:17.119
 it's getting late.

00:19:17.579 --> 00:19:19.380
 Send these people away so they can go eat.

00:19:21.579 --> 00:19:23.440
 And it appears that the disciples' concern

00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:24.200
 for the people

00:19:24.200 --> 00:19:26.660
 is greater than the crowd's concern

00:19:26.660 --> 00:19:27.359
 for themselves.

00:19:28.140 --> 00:19:29.380
 It seems that they're pretty content

00:19:29.380 --> 00:19:29.980
 where they are.

00:19:30.059 --> 00:19:32.180
 They're pretty satisfied

00:19:32.180 --> 00:19:34.480
 right here at Christ's feet,

00:19:35.380 --> 00:19:36.720
 getting healed by him,

00:19:36.820 --> 00:19:37.779
 getting taught by him.

00:19:39.060 --> 00:19:39.539
 So,

00:19:39.820 --> 00:19:41.080
 no one moves.

00:19:41.380 --> 00:19:41.400
 And

00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:43.660
 the disciples think,

00:19:43.960 --> 00:19:44.180
 well,

00:19:44.860 --> 00:19:46.100
 maybe he will send them away

00:19:46.100 --> 00:19:46.860
 at our request.

00:19:48.080 --> 00:19:48.360
 But,

00:19:48.420 --> 00:19:49.500
 but what does he say next?

00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:51.660
 You give them something to eat.

00:19:54.299 --> 00:19:55.519
 When that kind of perplex you,

00:19:55.640 --> 00:19:56.860
 perplex you a little bit,

00:19:57.640 --> 00:19:58.680
 out of all these people,

00:19:58.840 --> 00:19:59.880
 they recognize that the people

00:19:59.880 --> 00:20:00.640
 didn't have food,

00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:02.420
 and they recognize they had to send them away.

00:20:04.160 --> 00:20:04.560
 So,

00:20:04.680 --> 00:20:05.960
 there was no food anywhere

00:20:05.960 --> 00:20:07.220
 that they could come up with.

00:20:08.280 --> 00:20:08.680
 So,

00:20:08.740 --> 00:20:10.600
 they must have been a little baffled about this

00:20:10.600 --> 00:20:12.640
 as they kind of logically think through this.

00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:15.220
 And Philip kind of puts in the point,

00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:16.100
 well,

00:20:16.100 --> 00:20:18.480
 it's going to be 200 denarii to feed these people,

00:20:19.120 --> 00:20:20.520
 roughly about eight months wages,

00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:23.280
 and that wouldn't even satisfy them all.

00:20:24.400 --> 00:20:26.680
 And kind of looking at the average income

00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:28.380
 for the state of Connecticut right now,

00:20:28.380 --> 00:20:30.020
 which is around 65,000.

00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:33.680
 Imagine needing $43,000 to feed people.

00:20:35.260 --> 00:20:37.340
 That's roughly about eight months worth of that.

00:20:39.560 --> 00:20:41.280
 But then they find this little boy,

00:20:42.040 --> 00:20:46.240
 which has these five loaves and two fish.

00:20:46.820 --> 00:20:48.000
 And these loaves right here,

00:20:48.660 --> 00:20:49.720
 this bread is kind of like,

00:20:49.800 --> 00:20:50.880
 it's kind of like a cracker,

00:20:50.940 --> 00:20:51.640
 a small thing.

00:20:52.420 --> 00:20:54.060
 And these fish are pickled.

00:20:54.819 --> 00:20:55.039
 So,

00:20:55.099 --> 00:20:56.579
 this is a lunch for one person.

00:20:58.539 --> 00:20:59.159
 Better yet,

00:20:59.220 --> 00:21:00.460
 it's a lunch for a little boy.

00:21:01.240 --> 00:21:03.480
 I'm sure a grown man would eat more than that.

00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:08.139
 And so,

00:21:09.240 --> 00:21:11.000
 we see them.

00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:13.399
 They grab the fish,

00:21:13.519 --> 00:21:14.539
 they grab the loaves,

00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:16.519
 and they bring them to Jesus.

00:21:16.519 --> 00:21:19.879
 And I'm pretty sure this little boy's meal

00:21:19.879 --> 00:21:22.220
 isn't worth $43,000 at this point.

00:21:24.379 --> 00:21:25.539
 But nevertheless,

00:21:27.119 --> 00:21:28.200
 Jesus takes the loaves,

00:21:28.259 --> 00:21:29.119
 he takes the fish,

00:21:29.680 --> 00:21:31.160
 and he sends the disciples out.

00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:35.579
 And they sit the people in 50s and 100s,

00:21:35.960 --> 00:21:37.900
 as if they're preparing for a banquet

00:21:37.900 --> 00:21:39.839
 or some great feast.

00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:41.299
 But yet,

00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:42.000
 at this point,

00:21:42.220 --> 00:21:43.599
 there's still no food.

00:21:43.599 --> 00:21:44.279
 So,

00:21:44.279 --> 00:21:48.039
 what does Christ do?

00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:49.480
 He looks to heaven.

00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:52.159
 He blesses it.

00:21:53.579 --> 00:21:55.059
 And he hands it to his disciples

00:21:55.059 --> 00:21:57.000
 to start to distribute to the people.

00:22:02.500 --> 00:22:03.419
 And the disciples,

00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:04.119
 at this point,

00:22:04.879 --> 00:22:06.879
 they have to feed these

00:22:06.879 --> 00:22:08.919
 thousands and thousands

00:22:08.919 --> 00:22:10.779
 and thousands of people right now.

00:22:10.779 --> 00:22:12.700
 So,

00:22:12.779 --> 00:22:14.160
 they're probably coming back to Jesus

00:22:14.160 --> 00:22:15.740
 and getting more bread

00:22:15.740 --> 00:22:17.720
 and continuing to distribute it

00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:18.660
 and getting more fresh

00:22:18.660 --> 00:22:20.259
 and continuing to hand it out.

00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:23.980
 Wouldn't you stop and wonder,

00:22:25.319 --> 00:22:26.980
 where is all this coming from?

00:22:29.480 --> 00:22:34.079
 Where is he getting all of this?

00:22:36.180 --> 00:22:37.299
 Wouldn't you be astounded?

00:22:37.299 --> 00:22:40.039
 As you kind of,

00:22:40.039 --> 00:22:41.339
 as you kind of look down

00:22:41.339 --> 00:22:42.839
 a little later in the chapter,

00:22:43.980 --> 00:22:45.879
 it does say they're astounded.

00:22:46.740 --> 00:22:47.299
 Matter of fact,

00:22:47.480 --> 00:22:49.019
 in verse 51,

00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:49.919
 it says,

00:22:50.220 --> 00:22:51.480
 and they were utterly astounded.

00:22:53.419 --> 00:22:55.940
 But that's not at the loaves and fish.

00:22:56.159 --> 00:22:58.180
 That was at the walking on water

00:22:58.180 --> 00:22:59.859
 and the calming of the wind.

00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:02.139
 And he goes on to say,

00:23:02.259 --> 00:23:04.240
 for they did not understand about the loaves,

00:23:04.539 --> 00:23:05.819
 but their hearts were hardened.

00:23:07.299 --> 00:23:07.819
 So,

00:23:08.500 --> 00:23:09.659
 we see the disciples here.

00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:12.299
 This great sign right before their eyes,

00:23:13.819 --> 00:23:14.240
 but yet,

00:23:14.419 --> 00:23:15.559
 yet little understanding.

00:23:17.220 --> 00:23:19.799
 And we see Jesus' provision in that,

00:23:20.519 --> 00:23:22.180
 even though they understand a little,

00:23:22.919 --> 00:23:24.599
 he still has great provision for them.

00:23:25.099 --> 00:23:26.519
 He still provides for them.

00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:28.119
 He still has compassion on them.

00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:30.859
 And everything's said and done,

00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:32.940
 they still have these 12 baskets left

00:23:32.940 --> 00:23:34.639
 that they get to eat from.

00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:38.000
 Their main purpose for coming here

00:23:38.000 --> 00:23:39.940
 was to rest and to eat.

00:23:40.800 --> 00:23:42.580
 And we see Jesus provide for them here,

00:23:42.740 --> 00:23:44.460
 to shepherd them as well as the people

00:23:44.460 --> 00:23:46.420
 and his provision for them.

00:23:46.500 --> 00:23:47.900
 He didn't just bring them here

00:23:47.900 --> 00:23:49.740
 and work them hard

00:23:49.740 --> 00:23:51.220
 and serve these people,

00:23:51.460 --> 00:23:52.520
 seek these people,

00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:54.220
 do all these things.

00:23:54.220 --> 00:23:58.799
 We also see his provision for them here as well.

00:24:02.120 --> 00:24:05.700
 And we also see later that they will cherish this.

00:24:05.839 --> 00:24:08.120
 This is the only other miracle

00:24:08.120 --> 00:24:09.759
 other than Christ's resurrection

00:24:09.759 --> 00:24:11.799
 that appears in all four Gospels.

00:24:12.660 --> 00:24:13.440
 The only one.

00:24:13.440 --> 00:24:15.720
 And it comes up here.

00:24:16.600 --> 00:24:17.920
 And it comes up in Matthew.

00:24:18.100 --> 00:24:18.920
 It comes up in Luke.

00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:19.920
 It comes up in John.

00:24:21.600 --> 00:24:22.980
 So there's something very,

00:24:22.980 --> 00:24:24.640
 very significant about this

00:24:24.640 --> 00:24:27.400
 that all of them saw,

00:24:28.220 --> 00:24:29.600
 that all of them remembered it,

00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:32.140
 and that all of them wanted to record it.

00:24:32.140 --> 00:24:37.640
 So hopefully this fact that Jesus comes

00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:40.259
 as this compassionate shepherd

00:24:40.259 --> 00:24:41.360
 matters to us

00:24:41.360 --> 00:24:44.340
 in our wandering,

00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:47.500
 whether it be from place to place,

00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:49.720
 from job to job,

00:24:50.720 --> 00:24:52.860
 or whether it be in our own minds

00:24:52.860 --> 00:24:55.640
 from indecisiveness that we have

00:24:55.640 --> 00:24:56.860
 about different things,

00:24:56.859 --> 00:25:01.819
 that we see that Christ comes,

00:25:02.279 --> 00:25:02.959
 gives us truth,

00:25:03.779 --> 00:25:05.699
 can heal us,

00:25:06.419 --> 00:25:07.259
 can feed us,

00:25:08.059 --> 00:25:10.439
 can provide for us in so many ways,

00:25:15.259 --> 00:25:16.779
 and that we would just see, like,

00:25:16.979 --> 00:25:19.000
 the compassion of this great shepherd.

00:25:21.679 --> 00:25:23.299
 And as we see throughout the Gospels,

00:25:23.419 --> 00:25:24.419
 like, his compassion,

00:25:25.199 --> 00:25:26.679
 it never comes without action.

00:25:27.519 --> 00:25:29.859
 It never comes just as a feeling

00:25:29.859 --> 00:25:32.240
 that he kind of sees something

00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:33.219
 and lets it slide.

00:25:34.939 --> 00:25:37.000
 In Mark 1, it heals lepers.

00:25:38.079 --> 00:25:39.879
 In Mark 9, it casts out demons.

00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:43.959
 In Matthew 20, it gives sight.

00:25:45.299 --> 00:25:47.439
 In Luke 7, it raises the dead.

00:25:48.659 --> 00:25:50.500
 In Luke 10, it brings help.

00:25:51.699 --> 00:25:54.599
 In Luke 15, it brings a son home.

00:25:56.859 --> 00:26:01.500
 So this compassion that he's feeling,

00:26:01.919 --> 00:26:02.379
 this deep,

00:26:03.859 --> 00:26:06.119
 this being deeply moved for this people

00:26:06.119 --> 00:26:08.479
 always calls him to action.

00:26:08.699 --> 00:26:11.279
 It always causes him to initiate

00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:14.500
 and to provide and to care for his people.

00:26:14.500 --> 00:26:19.400
 And it also shows,

00:26:20.460 --> 00:26:21.839
 all who come to him,

00:26:22.619 --> 00:26:23.779
 there will be satisfaction,

00:26:23.960 --> 00:26:25.140
 there will be completeness.

00:26:25.140 --> 00:26:28.100
 And we kind of see in this

00:26:28.100 --> 00:26:31.759
 where he says in verse 42,

00:26:32.759 --> 00:26:35.280
 and they all ate and were all satisfied.

00:26:37.120 --> 00:26:38.300
 Nobody was lacking.

00:26:38.720 --> 00:26:39.680
 Nobody was hungry.

00:26:40.840 --> 00:26:43.180
 And this kind of translates as to being gorged,

00:26:43.320 --> 00:26:46.060
 like, they weren't lacking in any way.

00:26:46.620 --> 00:26:48.320
 Nobody let the fish pass by.

00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:50.000
 Nobody was on a low-carb diet

00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:51.240
 and passed the bread by.

00:26:51.940 --> 00:26:53.420
 They all wanted this food

00:26:53.420 --> 00:26:54.740
 that Jesus was feeding them.

00:26:55.559 --> 00:26:57.200
 And they all were satisfied by it.

00:26:57.220 --> 00:26:58.059
 They all were filled.

00:26:58.180 --> 00:26:59.460
 They all ate till they were full.

00:27:03.460 --> 00:27:05.259
 And for the Jews that read this,

00:27:05.759 --> 00:27:08.140
 how could they kind of miss this

00:27:08.140 --> 00:27:09.980
 symbolic,

00:27:10.460 --> 00:27:12.579
 the symbolicness of this?

00:27:13.000 --> 00:27:15.000
 They were in a desolate place,

00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:16.099
 a desert place,

00:27:16.099 --> 00:27:18.740
 as Mark kind of reiterates

00:27:18.740 --> 00:27:19.879
 throughout these verses.

00:27:23.039 --> 00:27:24.500
 And we see Jesus here.

00:27:25.319 --> 00:27:26.259
 He looks to heaven,

00:27:26.539 --> 00:27:28.980
 and bread miraculously shows up.

00:27:30.179 --> 00:27:32.279
 And we see him look out over the people

00:27:32.279 --> 00:27:34.659
 and call them sheep without a shepherd

00:27:34.659 --> 00:27:36.459
 and kind of steps in

00:27:36.459 --> 00:27:38.279
 as Israel's divine shepherd.

00:27:38.679 --> 00:27:40.240
 So we kind of see his divinity

00:27:40.240 --> 00:27:41.359
 come into play here.

00:27:41.359 --> 00:27:42.500
 We kind of,

00:27:42.779 --> 00:27:45.599
 we see this in a way that

00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:49.559
 that shows his divinity

00:27:49.559 --> 00:27:50.919
 as this shepherd of Israel.

00:27:51.039 --> 00:27:52.579
 They kind of use that imagery,

00:27:52.859 --> 00:27:53.459
 and you kind of look

00:27:53.459 --> 00:27:54.279
 through the Old Testament,

00:27:54.500 --> 00:27:56.179
 as you look in Psalms

00:27:56.179 --> 00:27:57.179
 and Ezekiel,

00:27:57.399 --> 00:27:58.799
 Second Chronicles,

00:27:59.059 --> 00:28:01.639
 Kings, I want to say.

00:28:02.159 --> 00:28:03.899
 There's just so many images

00:28:03.899 --> 00:28:06.639
 of God being the shepherd

00:28:06.639 --> 00:28:07.480
 to his people.

00:28:08.819 --> 00:28:10.279
 And that comes into play.

00:28:11.740 --> 00:28:13.199
 And we kind of see here,

00:28:13.980 --> 00:28:15.439
 and as we look at John as well,

00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:18.519
 he calls himself the bread of life.

00:28:19.400 --> 00:28:20.779
 So he brings this bread

00:28:20.779 --> 00:28:22.799
 that's better than the bread

00:28:22.799 --> 00:28:24.200
 that Moses brought to the people.

00:28:25.740 --> 00:28:28.000
 And as he says in John 6, 58,

00:28:28.820 --> 00:28:30.900
 this is the bread that came from heaven,

00:28:31.539 --> 00:28:32.580
 speaking of himself,

00:28:33.100 --> 00:28:36.120
 not like the bread the fathers ate and died.

00:28:36.779 --> 00:28:38.240
 Whoever feeds on this bread

00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:39.299
 will live forever.

00:28:39.299 --> 00:28:47.519
 And he just uses this miracle

00:28:47.519 --> 00:28:50.539
 as the way to show more of himself,

00:28:51.259 --> 00:28:54.720
 to be symbolic of what would happen to him,

00:28:55.440 --> 00:28:56.519
 of what he would become.

00:28:58.259 --> 00:28:59.339
 As he says,

00:28:59.339 --> 00:29:03.019
 the bread that he will give

00:29:03.019 --> 00:29:04.859
 for the life of the world

00:29:04.859 --> 00:29:06.139
 is his flesh.

00:29:09.639 --> 00:29:11.619
 Himself for the ransom of sinners.

00:29:13.879 --> 00:29:16.539
 He became the bread that brought us life.

00:29:16.539 --> 00:29:19.720
 And through the Lord's suffer,

00:29:20.079 --> 00:29:20.960
 we remember that.

00:29:21.879 --> 00:29:23.379
 We actively remember

00:29:23.379 --> 00:29:25.579
 the sacrifice Christ made for us,

00:29:25.839 --> 00:29:26.579
 what he became.

00:29:27.379 --> 00:29:28.639
 His blood, the wine,

00:29:29.460 --> 00:29:30.420
 his body, the bread.

00:29:33.420 --> 00:29:34.059
 Let's pray.

00:29:34.059 --> 00:29:39.779
 Lord, that,

00:29:40.319 --> 00:29:41.759
 I just pray that we would just see

00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:44.679
 that your provision goes

00:29:44.679 --> 00:29:48.819
 deeper and farther

00:29:48.819 --> 00:29:52.200
 and wider than we can,

00:29:52.599 --> 00:29:53.960
 we could ever imagine.

00:29:56.539 --> 00:30:00.659
 That as we look at these loaves and fish,

00:30:00.660 --> 00:30:05.160
 we kind of dismiss it at times.

00:30:05.560 --> 00:30:08.160
 And I think that was a good story

00:30:08.160 --> 00:30:09.160
 about feeding people.

00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:13.500
 But we see that you're trying

00:30:13.500 --> 00:30:14.960
 to reveal something much deeper

00:30:14.960 --> 00:30:18.680
 and something much more,

00:30:18.680 --> 00:30:21.259
 more greater about yourself

00:30:21.259 --> 00:30:22.460
 and who you are.

00:30:24.120 --> 00:30:27.060
 And I pray that we would just see that as well.

00:30:27.059 --> 00:30:32.980
 that we would come to you, Lord,

00:30:33.899 --> 00:30:35.339
 knowing that you're the bread of life.

00:30:38.240 --> 00:30:40.519
 That we would come to you as a shepherd

00:30:40.519 --> 00:30:44.259
 and know that you give life

00:30:44.259 --> 00:30:47.399
 and that we would have it

00:30:47.399 --> 00:30:48.720
 more abundantly in you.

00:30:51.659 --> 00:30:53.099
 That we would trust you.

00:30:53.099 --> 00:30:57.299
 that we would put our hope in,

00:30:57.579 --> 00:30:58.679
 that hope would be in you.

00:31:02.699 --> 00:31:05.879
 And that we would allow you to lead us.

00:31:10.579 --> 00:31:12.159
 There's so many times we

00:31:12.159 --> 00:31:14.480
 are sufficient in ourselves

00:31:14.480 --> 00:31:17.980
 and we blaze our own trails

00:31:17.980 --> 00:31:21.420
 and we're self-made

00:31:21.420 --> 00:31:24.240
 and we make our own way for ourselves.

00:31:24.500 --> 00:31:25.920
 And I just pray that we would see

00:31:25.920 --> 00:31:27.680
 how much of a delusion that is.

00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:34.400
 That to know you,

00:31:35.539 --> 00:31:36.740
 to trust you,

00:31:39.740 --> 00:31:41.779
 will be all our hearts long for.

00:31:41.779 --> 00:31:41.819
 Lord.

00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:46.759
 In Christ's name,

00:31:47.480 --> 00:31:47.720
 Amen.

00:32:01.339 --> 00:32:02.019
 Amen.

00:32:02.019 --> 00:32:02.519
 Thank you.

00:32:02.519 --> 00:32:03.000
 Thank you.

00:43:33.360 --> 00:44:03.340
 Thank you.

00:44:03.360 --> 00:44:33.340

00:44:33.360 --> 00:45:03.340
