Luke chapter 20. I hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving. I know me and my family did and my oldest daughter is on the road right now and so I checked her location right before I stepped up here. We're still doing good so I got that on my mind.
If you look at the life of Christ and the ministry of Christ it is somewhat mysterious at times and it sure is interesting. So much of the message especially after his resurrection commands us to tell others about his saving and his healing power.
However, earlier in his ministry he told folks to be quiet about what he did. In Matthew chapter 8 he heals a leper and he says see that you say nothing to anyone about this healing.
In Matthew chapter 9 he heals two blind men and Jesus sternly warned them see that no one knows about this. In Matthew chapter 16 he told his disciples tell no one that he was the Christ.
In Matthew chapter 17 at that mount of transfiguration when those three apostles noticed this amazing sight that they saw, this vision that they saw of Christ transfiguring on that mount.
He said tell no one of this vision until the son of man has been risen from the dead.
Strange at first but a simple explanation is that it was all a matter of timing.
Christ was in the midst of his ministry of training his disciples to establish the groundwork for the church before he should as Luke 9 verse 51 which I mentioned last week is a tremendous chapter here that of setting his face toward Jerusalem.
However, then he arrives in Jerusalem and he's different.
What he's asked to be quiet about what he's asked to somewhat stay dormant at times so that he could further the ministry before the church leaders of all people would come after him.
Now he's very open about it.
He's made his way to Jerusalem and he's different.
He is open.
He is boldly proclaiming.
He is clear completely about his message and what he'd have for us to share.
He makes his triumphal entry.
He cleanses the temple by turning the tables in the marketplace.
He stirs up the chief priest and the scribes by teaching daily to the massive crowds that they could do nothing about.
And then they ask him.
In Luke chapter 20 verse 2 they said tell us by what authority you do these things.
Or who is it that gave you this authority?
And he follows that with a parable.
One of his last parables, some scholars believe it was the last one chronologically that he shared.
And it's a parable that is clear.
Some parables take interpretation.
This one's quite clear.
No one's asking questions about what this means.
At least not in this setting.
He was certain.
He was clear.
Folks, I want to be certain.
And I want to be clear this morning.
Luke chapter 20 beginning in verse 9.
And he began to tell the people this parable.
A man planted a vineyard and let it out to tenants and went into another country for a long while.
When the time came he sent a servant to the tenants so that they would give him some of the fruit of the vineyard.
But the tenants beat him and they sent him away empty handed.
And he sent another servant.
But they also beat and treated him shamefully and sent him away empty handed.
And he sent yet a third.
This one also they wounded and cast out.
Then the owner of the vineyard said, what shall I do?
I'll send my beloved son.
Perhaps they'll respect him.
But when the tenants saw him, they said to themselves, this is the heir.
Let us kill him so that the inheritance may be ours.
And they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them?
He'll come and destroy those tenants and give the vineyard to others.
Now in this story, the man is God.
And the vineyard is Israel.
And the tenants are the Israelites.
Particularly the church establishment there.
The scribes and the Pharisees that are questioning him and who he's calling out.
And the sent servants are the prophets.
The son of the owner in this story is Jesus.
And when they throw him out of the vineyard in the story, he is saying, you will throw me out of Jerusalem.
And he was thrown out of Jerusalem.
As a matter of fact, he carried a cross out of Jerusalem.
And they killed him outside the city.
Hebrews chapter 13 verse 12 says, so Jesus also suffered outside the gate.
That means outside the city.
In order to sanctify the people through his own blood.
And then lastly, this parable says that those who do not welcome the son, those who do not welcome Christ will be destroyed.
It is that simple.
And after he told this, he didn't back off.
He warned of the dangers of the religious leaders.
They tried to question him with tough topics and tried to silence them.
And instead he silences them.
In verse 40, it says of that same chapter, it says they dare not ask him anything else.
They began to try to eliminate him.
He speaks of the destruction of Jerusalem.
That would happen 40 years, almost to the day in which he spoke it.
And he speaks of his return and when he's coming.
He is now very open about all of that.
So I want to be just as open this morning about what that means to us today.
Let's get this straight.
Look at this last parable together.
And then we'll look toward Christmas together.
But let's get this down.
One is this.
Everyone is not pleased to hear of Jesus.
It was true in that day.
It's true today.
If you look at the history of the welcomes that the prophets of God,
these servants that the owner of the vineyard keeps sending in,
that's what that represents.
Look at the prophets.
They were not received very warmly.
At times they were ignored.
Amos was told to hush.
Jonah was a part of our,
he was the most reluctant evangelist you'll ever find.
He was a part of a revival that he didn't want to happen.
But the sad thing was two generations later,
Nahum lets us know that Nineveh was just as bad as it was before that
spiritual awakening had happened.
They went right back to the way in which they lived before.
At times prophets were attacked.
Elijah was threatened and chased by Jezebel.
Micaiah was slapped and imprisoned for telling the truth.
When others wouldn't tell the truth in 1 Kings 22,
Zechariah was stoned to death between the temple and the altar.
Yet God continued graciously to bring his messengers to the tenants.
Now remember, he brought him to the tenants, not the owners.
They didn't own the vineyard.
They were just maintaining the vineyard.
And of course the one that stands out the most was Jesus speaks,
and he speaks directly to them, was John the Baptist.
Who when John the Baptist came speaking,
they were reluctant to hear what he had to say, resisted that.
And of course, because he spoke so boldly against the sin in Herod's life,
and because he was so influenced by evil people,
John the Baptist died
for standing up for his faith.
He spoke all this to the tenants.
Not the owner of the vineyard.
God's the owner, just the tenants.
And I want you to understand
that whatever you have and whatever you are,
we are tenants.
We are maintaining what God has given us.
We're not in charge.
We have a responsibility to that that's invested in us.
But this vineyard is not ours.
This vineyard is his.
We're to make the most of this life that he has given us
because we're sinners.
And our only hope is to do that,
what God has given us to do in our lives.
To make the most of the life that God has given us.
And he is gracious, and he is patient,
but I want you to understand, he is not indifferent.
He's very involved and cares a lot.
Don't ever get confused that the patience of God
is the thought that he's not deeply involved
with our response to him.
Because he is.
And notice that when they did not welcome the first ones,
the owner graciously did not remove the tenants.
He kept giving them new opportunities.
Now it's interesting
that he comes back to these sharecroppers
sharecroppers to get the profits
from what they had raised.
And as the harvest comes in,
you would send people in in stages.
When the first part of it came in,
you'd send somebody to collect it,
a messenger to collect it.
And when the second part came in,
you'd send them again.
Well, the owner noticed that on the first time,
when they didn't respond to him,
he didn't give up on them.
He sent another.
And the response was the same.
I want you to know
that everyone is not pleased to hear of Jesus.
Second thing is this.
Everyone does not welcome Jesus.
Obviously here, the landowner then sends his son.
And the tenants threw him out and killed him.
And Jesus is obviously,
prophetically speaking,
of the mistreatment and his impending death.
And notice in this story,
before they kill him,
they see him coming
and they say in the story
that Jesus told,
if we kill him,
it could all be ours.
You want to know why people don't come to Christ?
Because they don't want to come to his way.
And in his way,
they want it their way.
We want it for ours.
They believe that coming to Christ
has given up too much.
They're afraid that they'll miss out
on what could be theirs.
And in reality,
they walk away
from the greatest opportunity
that they could ever have,
not realizing the ramifications.
I want you to understand something, Christian.
God is sending us out.
It's not time to be silent anymore.
It's not time to be quiet anymore.
Christ, his great commission,
sends us out
to share the love
of the Lord Jesus Christ with folks.
His last words before the ascension
is to make disciples.
As you go,
that don't mean,
hey, I'm all for
going somewhere,
doing a great work.
I'll lead one of these trips this summer.
We'll have a great time
serving the Lord together.
But before we get to the summer,
or before we get to a foreign land,
or before we get to another state,
we'll walk out of here today,
and somebody
will need to know
the truths of the Lord Jesus Christ.
they'll need to know the love of Christ.
And God will plant them
in our path.
And if we pray for God
to open our eyes
and see that
and have an opportunity
to share that,
he will.
He's faithful to do that.
He's sending us out.
His last words were
to make disciples as you go,
to lead them to publicly
confess their faith
through baptism.
Don't stop
until the word
is throughout the world.
He's sending us out.
He's not sending out
the guy beside you
on the pew.
He's not sending out
just the preacher.
It's not just for the staff.
No.
He's sending us out.
Now,
does that mean
they're going to be happy
to see us?
No,
but I want you
to understand something.
They are not rejecting us.
Years ago,
people used to come
to your doors
selling stuff
a lot more than they do now.
Praise God.
They don't do it much anymore,
but they used to.
And I remember one time
this sweet little girl
came to my door,
knocked on her,
rang our doorbell.
I opened the door.
She had Krispy Kreme donuts,
a dozen of them there.
She said,
were you willing to buy
my donuts
to help whatever cause
she made up?
But I said,
honey,
if you only knew
what one of them donuts
would do to me,
it would change my life.
I can't do that.
I gave her some money.
I didn't buy her donuts
and let her go.
I wasn't turning down her.
I was turning down them donuts
because I knew
if I bought them donuts
and I was home alone,
nobody ever know
I bought donuts.
I didn't want her donuts.
And when telemarketers
call me,
yeah,
I might be rejecting them.
I don't know about that,
but let me tell you something.
When you go in the Lord's name
and you share Christ
with somebody,
they're not rejecting you,
they're rejecting God.
When you give the gospel,
you present them
with an opportunity
that they have to do
something with.
And if they reject it,
it's not you.
I want you to get this
because I think
this holds people back
from sharing their faith openly.
Success in sharing
your faith with somebody,
sharing your faith
in Christ with somebody
is not salvation.
Success is when you share
and when you trust
the Lord of the harvest
to do with that seed
that you've sown,
whatever he chooses to do
and work in their life.
Our responsibility
is to share.
Their responsibility
is to respond in obedience.
We don't speak to people
about Christ for our fruition.
God has sent us
and he may already be working
in the hearts and the lives
of those that he's sending us to.
We have no idea
how God has worked
and moved in others' lives.
I had a guy walk in
the other day.
We had a door open
because there's renovation going on.
And a secretary was out.
And so this fellow
walked straight in,
walked straight in the office,
walked straight in my office,
which is fine.
Walked in my office.
And he told me,
he said,
I need to pray.
He said,
I'm Catholic,
but I need to pray.
And he told me
the burden that he had.
And I shared that with you
if you got reminded.
And I knew
because I had seen people
in the building
that I knew
that there would be
other people in the building.
I think some of our ladies
might have been up here.
And I knew that,
I knew what he probably wanted,
but I knew it may not be safe
for others
because I didn't know him.
And so I told him,
I said,
well, can I pray with you?
He said, yeah,
I'd appreciate that.
So we prayed over his need
and his burden.
When we got done praying,
I'm thinking,
why does a Catholic
walk into a Baptist church,
walk straight in this office
for somebody to pray for him?
I don't even think
he knows why he's here.
And I told him that.
I said,
I don't think you're here
because of the reason
you think you're here.
He's looked at me.
I said,
has there ever been
a time in your life
when you've asked
the Lord Jesus personally
to come into your heart
and life,
to save you
and to change you,
to forgive you
of your sins?
Has that ever happened to you?
He said, yeah.
I said, tell me about it.
So he told me about it.
I said, would you stake
eternity on that?
Excuse me?
I said,
if you were to die today
and God were to ask you,
why should I let you
into my heaven?
What do you think
you'd say?
He said, well,
I don't know what I could say.
I failed him so often.
I said, well,
I want you to know
what you can say.
And so in a kind of
discombobulated way
because of the way
the conversation was going,
I shared with him
what Romans says.
I started with Romans 10, 9,
that if you confess
with your mouth
Jesus is Lord
and believe in your heart
that God raised him
from the dead,
you shall be saved.
Now explain what that meant.
I explained that everyone
who calls upon the name
of the Lord,
verse 13,
shall be saved
and how the wages
of his sin
would cause death,
separation forever,
but the gift of God
is eternal life
through Jesus Christ,
our Lord.
God demonstrated
his own love for us
while we were yet
sinners Christ died for us
and I went through
all of that
and shared all that
with him
and then I said,
has anything like that
ever happened to you?
He said,
I think so.
I said,
if you were to die today,
again,
if you were to die today
and stand before God
and he would ask you
why should I let you
in his hand,
what do you think
he'd say?
He said,
because I committed
my life to Christ.
I said,
that's what I needed
to hear.
Have you ever
made that public?
He said,
no.
I said,
you've never told anybody?
He said,
no.
I said,
well,
it's time for you
to do that
and I explained
how scripture said
from Paul's example
in Romans 10,
9,
when he speaks
of openly confessing
Jesus as Lord,
that's not a quiet thing.
that's not something
that you do
in the pastor's study.
That's something
that you do
in the open
to boldly proclaim
your faith in Christ.
Paul is drawing
a comparison
to standing up
to the Roman Empire
and saying,
curious Christos,
Christ is Lord,
not Caesar is Lord,
Christ is Lord.
That's what he's doing there.
It's very bold
in what he said
and I said,
have you ever been baptized?
He said,
I've been baptized as a child.
I said,
well,
that was a baptism
into a church.
If you've never been baptized
as a believer
since you gave your heart
and life to the Lord,
since your beach experience,
if you've never given your heart,
if you've never been baptized,
you've got your baptism
out of order.
You've never been baptized
as a believer
and that is a first step
of obedience
when you give your heart
and life to the Lord
and I promise you,
listen to me,
I'm not just talking to him,
I'm talking to you.
If you've never done that
as a believer,
it'll be a hindrance
to you and your world.
I promise you,
the devil will cause
a lot of snares
in your path
because the first step
of obedience,
I mean,
if I was in a race,
it'd be a joke anyway
but if I were to stumble
out of the gate,
it'd be mighty hard
to even finish that race
and if you stumble
straight out of the gate
by never making that public,
how that's such a detriment
to your faith.
And so I challenged him
and I said,
I know this ain't
your church background
but I want you to know
you're welcome here
and if you come
and publicly acknowledge that,
we'll baptize you,
allow you to be a member
of this church.
I said,
what do you think about that?
He said,
God drew me here
for a reason today.
I don't have an issue
with that
and I said,
amen, brother
and I said,
we'll be praying
for your need
and I've shared that
with you.
I didn't intend
to share all that
but I'm telling you,
I texted that old boy
yesterday
and I'm praying
for him now
that God will do
a work in his life
and his salvation
will be secure
and he'll know that
beyond a shadow of a doubt
and that he'll publicly
profess that
and live for
the Lord Jesus.
but that's not
my responsibility.
My responsibility
was to share.
My responsibility
was to be sensitive
to the spirit of God
to pick up on the fact
that I'm in the midst
of a conversation
that I didn't intend
to be in.
Why am I in the middle of it
and I can't do a whole lot
for this fellow's needs
right now
so why am I doing it
and God said,
hey,
you're on to something.
And it don't have to happen
in a pastor study.
It can happen
in a restaurant.
It can happen
in a grocery store.
It can happen
in your neighborhood.
Our responsibility
is to not try
to figure out
who needs the gospel
but to assume
all need the gospel.
Share it
and allow them
to respond
and it's God's
responsibility
to save.
But I want you
to know
fresh out the gate
everyone does
not welcome Jesus.
They do not.
Third thing is this.
Anyone who does
not accept Jesus
is ruined.
They're ruined.
I'd love to be able
to tell you
about God
who looks past
all your sins
and wrongs
and mistakes
and will save you
from the doom
that a sinful humanity
must face.
but I can't tell you
that because
there's a mistake
that too many make
that God does not
that people make
about God's forgiveness.
When you refuse
to accept Christ
into your life
you refuse
to acknowledge
the weight
of all of your sin
and you refuse
the greatest gift
that could ever
be given
to you.
And when you refuse
the Lord Jesus
and do not respond
to him
in obedience
you will face
an eternal hell.
That ain't nice
to say right here
before Christmas.
We're supposed
to be coming off
of Thanksgiving
and being cheery
and nice.
But I want
to be certain
and I want
to be clear
this morning
Christ didn't
hold back.
it's just
as true today
as it was
when he said it.
I want you
to listen
to how Christ
describes it
in verses 17
and 18
of that same passage.
He says this
but he looked
I love this
he looked
directly at them
he wanted them
to get it
and said
what then
is this
that is written
the stone
that the builders
rejected
has become
the cornerstone
everyone who
falls on that
stone
will be broken
to pieces
and when it
falls on anyone
it will crush him.
Now that's a quote
from Isaiah 5
followed by
a reference
to Daniel chapter 2
and those
listening
would be a lot
more familiar
with those two passages
than most of us
are
because they knew
those very well.
They would be
familiar with both
of them.
The cornerstone
is the first stone
that was laid
and when that
cornerstone
was laid
everything else
came off
the edge
the angles
as well as
the rest of the
foundation
came off
of that
cornerstone.
You had to
get that right.
I was in a
building program
one time
and they built
the trenches
for the foundation
and I went
and looked at it
it was a
rectangular building
I went and looked
at it
I said
something's wrong
I said
where's this door
and they showed
me
they had dug
the foundations
in a wrong way
was that 90 degrees
it was wrong
I said
you gotta turn
this building
before you build it
you gotta turn
the building
they hadn't
got the
foundation
right
the whole
thing would
have been
off
my friend
you gotta
get the
cornerstone
right
that's what
he's talking
about
you gotta
get that
angle
correct
to start
with
Christ
is the
cornerstone
in which
we build
our life
on
he's the
cornerstone
that the
church is
built on
and the
word also
can be
translated
capstone
which is
the last
one that
goes in
place
this word
is so
appropriate
here
scripture
tells us
that
Solomon's
temple
had
80,000
stonemasons
working on
it
and that
the stones
were pre-cut
at a quarry
and delivered
to the site
first kings
tells us
that there
was not a
sound of
an iron
tool to
be made
on the
holy place
at all
they did
not want
to hear
them
working
so quietly
they constructed
that temple
get this
for seven
years
they worked
like that
and there's
a rabbinical
story
that goes
back to
the building
of the
temple
that one
day a
large
odd
shaped
stone
arrived
and they
thought it
was a
botched
stone
so they
laid that
stone
aside
and they
continued to
build
and as the
building progressed
that stone
got in the way
and so they
moved that
stone
and as they
continued to
build
that odd
shaped stone
was still in the
way and so
people were
stumbling over it
and so they
moved that
stone
again
and set it
over by itself
and let it
sit there
and toward
the end
of the
work
the
scaffolding
was set up
and they
were waiting
for the
capstone
to be placed
in the main
arch of the
temple
they began
to look
and to look
for that
piece
and noticed
that the
quarry had
not brought
the piece
that they
needed
for that
so they
told them
they asked
the quarry
said we
sent it
a long
time ago
they looked
harder
and they
hid
and hid
in the
overgrowth
of the
brush
and the
trees
because they
had been
building for
seven years
they found
the stone
that had
been rejected
so long
ago
and it
perfectly
fit
in that
keystone
capstone
arched
way
and held
up the
weight
of the
building
because it
perfectly
fit
just like
the capstone
is the
last
and climactic
piece
that holds
it all
together
so the
Lord is
the cornerstone
our sure
foundation
is to build
our lives
on nothing
else but
Christ
and he's
also the
capstone
that is
the finale
that is
the final
piece of
the puzzle
the keystone
which all
else relies
on
Jesus Christ
is the
cornerstone
the starting
place
he's the
capstone
the end
scripture
calls him
the alpha
and the
omega
that means
the A
and the Z
he's the
author
of our
faith
he's the
finisher
of our
faith
he's what
we're made
of
the rest
of the
new
testament
assures
us
that he's
also the
foundation
of the
church
that is
to be
based
upon
the
church
is built
upon
Christ
it comes
and it
goes
with
Christ
if he's
not the
head
and before
it
I don't
want to
be a
part
of it
and the
potential
of this
church
or any
church
is not
limited
by our
inability
but instead
is enabled
by his
limitless
ability
if you were
to ask me
where First
Baptist Church
started
I could tell
you how a
group of
Baptists had a
burden for a
church in
this town
and how after
looking at
several plots
of land
they accepted
the lot that
was offered to
him by
J.M.
Stewart
I could tell
you how
29 people
left their
churches to
become charter
members of
this church
and how on
May 16th
1891
the Pickens
Baptist Church
was formed
with an
initial offering
of $7.42
and when I
read that I
thought Lord
let us have a
better offering
on Sunday
than that
please
$7.42
you know
what they did
with it
they sent it
to missions
I'll get to
that next
week
however if
you ask me
where the
church started
I'll point
you to
Jesus
the stone
the builders
rejected
the leader
of the
church
churches
the leaders
of the church
rejected
even killed
him
is in fact
who this
church
is built
upon
he's the
foundation
he's the
pinnacle
he's where
we begin
he's where
we end
and Colossians
tells us
he's the one
that holds
every other
part of us
together
if you ask
me what to
build your
life on
I'll tell
you Jesus
and if you
have to do
and you need
to respond
to it
because you
have to do
something
with Jesus
Jesus
said
you either
build your
life on
him
or you
stumble
over him
or you
get crushed
because of
your response
you either
build your
life upon
him or
he'll mess
you up
for all
of eternity
by rejecting
him
Jesus
is what
we build
our lives
on
and he
said that
some fall
on this
stone
and get
broken
and others
are crushed
by it
and I
will tell
you that
day the
Pharisees
didn't get
what he
was saying
they didn't
like it
it made
them mad
and they
left mad
what I'm
telling you
today
can upset
you
on my
prayer by
the Holy
Spirit of
God
that it
will convict
you
to make
sure that
we do
everything
that we
need to
do
to be
right
where
God
wants
us
to be
we
can
and
should
build
our
lives
on him
today
but I
want you
to be
clear
because
Christ
is
clear
and
Christ
is
certain
accept
it or
not
believe
it or
not
just
like he
looked at
them in
the eye
I look
at you
in the eye
today
with certainty
to tell
you
your hope
is found
in the
Lord Jesus
he has
planted
opportunities
in your
life
for you
to respond
including
this one
today
as he
sends
workers
to you
let him
see his
harvest
respond in
obedience
don't
be
obstinate
don't
be
possessive
understand
that
everything
you
have
and
everything
you
are
was
given
to
you
by
God
and
because
we
are
a
fallen
humanity
and
because
each
one
of
us
has
sinned
individually
we
are
separated
from
God
for
all
eternity
unless
we
repent
and
turn
our
lives
over
to
Christ
Jesus
he's
where
we
start
thank
God
he's
where
I'll
finish
and
he
ought
to
be
everything
in
between
Christ
said
excuse
me
Paul
said
for
me
to
live
is
Christ
and
to
die
is
gain
friend
today
if
you
don't
know
him
give
your
heart
and
life
to
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
with
every
head
bowed
and
every
eye
closed
I
want
to
ask
you
this
morning
if
there's
ever
been
a
time
in
your
life
when
you've
accepted
the
Lord
Jesus
as
your
personal
Lord
and
Savior
if
there
hadn't
I
want
you
to
know
you
can
come
today
we'd
be
happy
to
guide
you
in
what
that
means
allow
God
to
work
and
move
in
your
life
as
only
he
can
maybe
you're
here
this
morning
and
you
know
that
has
happened
to
you
but
in
reality
you've
never
acknowledged
that
publicly
never
told
anybody
about
that
Jesus
by
his
example
and
by
his
command
has
told
us
to
make
that
public
through
baptism
and
I
encourage
you
to
simply
be
obedient
to
God
today
respond
to
him
if
you've
never
publicly
acknowledged
a
personal
faith
that
you
have
already
committed
to
we'd
love
to
guide
you
in
the
process
of
making
that
publicly
known
as
the
Bible
proclaims
for
us
to
do
maybe
you're
visiting
with us
today
and
God's
leading
you
to be
a part
of
this
church
I
just
ask
you
to
do
what
God
tells
you
to
do
we'd
happily
guide
you
in
that
process
or
maybe
you
just
need
to
get
your
heart
right
maybe
you
just
need
to
share
with
somebody
that
God
has
put
in
your
path
it's
been
my
prayer
that
the
Holy
Spirit
may
point
out
to
you
this
morning
somebody
that
he's
put
right
before
you
that
you
haven't
bothered
to
share
with
or
it
may
be
somebody
unbeknownst
to
you
like
I
experienced
last
week
just
walk
in
from
nowhere
and
begin
a
conversation
that
can
lead
to
a
gospel
conversation
I
don't
know
how
God
is
speaking
to
you
this
morning
but
I
know
you'll
never
be
satisfied
until
you
follow
him
and
I
know
he
has
a
way
based
on
the
story
that
Jesus
shares
to
bring
workers
in
our
path
to
give
us
opportunities
to
respond
in
obedience
it's
been
my
prayer
this
week
this
morning
and
even
this
moment
that
you'll
do
just
that
Lord
Jesus
I
love
you
and
I
thank
you
for
being
obedient
right
now
to
trust
you
Father
in
Jesus
name
Amen
