You are listening to a message from Southwood Presbyterian Church in Huntsville, Alabama.
Our passion is to experience and express grace.
Join us.
Turn with me, if you will, to Luke 24.
Luke 24 is page 885 of the Bible in the pew in front of you.
Don't forget what we've been doing up in the service this long.
This is merely a continuation of this conversation.
God sends us into the world with good news.
We're nearing the end here of the account that Luke gives us of Jesus' life.
And we get this morning one more encounter of the risen Jesus.
Probably still the night of Easter Sunday.
And he shows up with his disciples.
He says some things that they've heard before.
But listen as I read for some new things.
Especially toward the end of this interaction.
It's powerful stuff for who they are and who we are to be.
Remember, this is God's holy word.
The reliable way to know who God is.
The definitive authority on who you and I are designed to be.
The only thing that will always direct you and your life to be shaped in the right direction.
Luke 24 at verse 36.
As they, the disciples, were talking about these things, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them,
Peace to you.
But they were startled and frightened and thought they saw a spirit.
And he said to them, Why are you troubled?
And why do doubts arise in your hearts?
See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself.
Touch me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.
And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.
And while they still disbelieved for joy and were marveling, he said to them,
Have you had anything here to eat?
They gave him a piece of broiled fish and he took it and ate it before them.
Then he said to them, These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you.
That everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.
Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures and said to them,
Thus it is written that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead.
And that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations beginning from Jerusalem.
You are witnesses of these things.
And behold, I am sending the promise of my Father upon you.
But stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.
Pray with me.
Father, thank you for your word.
And we ask now that that promised Holy Spirit,
that Jesus told us he's sending upon us,
would meet with us and so work in our hearts this morning
that we would be different people,
that we would be those that you call us to be,
that we would share your heart.
Father, do that work in us by your spirit through your word.
You love to do that.
And that's why we've come this morning to your word
expectantly and needy of you to speak and you to work and act in and through us.
So we ask it and we look forward to what you'll do in Jesus' name.
Amen.
When you are introducing yourself to someone for the first time,
you might say,
Hey, I'm a pastor.
I'm an engineer.
I'm a dental hygienist.
I'm an auto mechanic.
Whatever it is that you spend much of your time doing,
you know, chauffeur for busy young people,
whatever it is that you're doing all the time.
But sometimes when we say that,
we forget that that's not the primary part of our identity.
What we do is not supposed to be the same as who we are.
Child of God, image bearer of the King, follower of Christ.
Those things are more fundamental to our identity, right?
Perhaps this passage would suggest that we could accurately introduce ourselves and say,
I'm a witness.
Anybody want to start doing that?
Just practice over the next few weeks with me just to introduce yourself.
Nobody wants to do that.
But you could theoretically begin to say,
Hey, I'm a witness.
Jesus says here and elsewhere,
that's the identity,
the calling of his followers.
A witness.
Someone, you know,
with a story to tell.
Something he has seen.
Something she has experienced.
Something he or she needs to share.
The word in the Bible, witness,
speaks to someone with a truth to testify to.
A reality to recount.
And Jesus in this passage shows how vital it is for his followers to be witnesses.
I mean, think about it.
We've got just a very small window of time between Jesus rising from the dead on Easter
and then ascending into heaven.
There's only a little bit of time he has with his followers to say,
here's what you're to be about.
Here's what's most important.
And what is it that's most important to Jesus?
Well, we've read on Easter afternoon,
he's found these followers on the road to Emmaus.
They're discouraged.
And he teaches them about himself, about the Bible,
revealing to them as they break bread who he is.
He's committed to our knowing him, right?
That's what we learned a couple weeks ago.
Jesus is committed to our knowing him.
And this passage shows us that in addition to that,
he is committed.
What's important to him is our making him known.
That's why the witnesses part comes in.
Jesus' plan for his kingdom involves witnesses.
And he makes sure here that he's prepared them with the right story,
the right experience that needs to be shared.
Watch how this unfolds as Jesus appears to his followers.
As they were talking about these things,
Jesus himself stood among them.
Jesus does it again.
He just shows up, right?
He keeps doing this now since he's risen,
just showing up with his followers.
And now here it's with the fuller group of disciples
for the first time since his resurrection.
And what's he going to say to them?
You know, what do you think?
I mean, after all,
they've all in one way or another just abandoned him.
Haven't they?
Some of them physically left the premises.
Some denied him multiple times.
No one's been there for him.
They didn't even understand what he was talking about,
that he was going to do.
They have failed him at the key moment.
Kids, have you ever had your mom say to you,
just wait till your father comes home?
I heard that a lot when I was a kid.
And it's not an exciting thing,
like he might bring you a present or something.
You hear those words and you think,
uh-oh, right?
Just wait till your father comes home.
What it means is that he's coming home
to give you at least a part of what you deserve, right?
Now, not that your mom couldn't do it.
She could, but what she's saying is
that I've done everything.
I'm through with you for now.
And maybe she needed to cool off a bit too, possibly.
But here comes Jesus,
the very one they've abandoned coming home, right?
Standing right there with them.
And he could give them the talking to they deserve, right?
It should have started with,
with how could you?
Or why did you not?
Or do you have any idea?
But Jesus' first word is different.
What's Jesus' first word?
Peace.
Peace to you.
It's a word that to Luke is a microcosm
of all of salvation.
Jesus shows up bringing salvation in himself.
Peace between God and man here
because of what he has done on the cross
and in the empty tomb.
And a witness for Jesus
has to know that that's who he is.
In addition, a witness will need to know
that he is the physically resurrected Lord.
That this is Jesus himself.
Jesus lets them do several things here, doesn't he?
He lets them touch his hands
and touch his feet.
He eats a fish
right there in front of them.
What's all that about?
Apparently it's really important
that they experience his physical reality.
A new, glorious body.
For sure there's things different.
They struggle to recognize him.
Yet nonetheless he shows them
it is I myself.
It is Jesus himself who's with them.
The Bible does not teach the idea
of a figurative resurrection
but rather the reality
of a bodily resurrection.
This is not some Gnostic Christianity
where the goal of our lives
is now escaping this world
and these bodies
to something immaterial
and floating on clouds forever.
No.
The direction this is headed
is a renewed, glorified,
fully human existence
made perfect in God's image.
Jesus is committed
to their knowing him.
who he really is.
What he has really done.
So he's now taught for hours.
He's patiently lingered
with slow disciples
who didn't recognize him.
He's shown up among them.
He's let them touch him.
He's eaten with them.
All so that they can know him
and then make known
who he is.
If you've been at Southwood
you should hear echoes
of experience and express grace.
know him
and make him known.
That's what this is about.
And I'll admit here
that there are differences
between what it means
for these first disciples
to be witnesses
and for us today
to be witnesses.
We all have a story to share.
They have a first-hand experience,
don't they,
of the risen Jesus
appearing over and over
in those weeks
to over 500 of them
at one time.
Eyewitness accounts
that they have
and that they then witness
to us about
in the Bible
for the rest of the New Testament
so that we too
can know the reality,
the truth of Jesus
and therefore have a story
to share.
I love how they invite us
into that.
That's the design
of God's word here
and they're inviting us
into that story
with all of our emotions
that we might have
about this risen Jesus.
Just see if your feelings
about Jesus
aren't represented
here in this room
where the disciples
are startled,
frightened,
anybody,
troubled,
doubting,
and Jesus comes
in the midst
of all those emotions
and says,
experience me,
know me.
And then even
as they touch him
and his hands
and his feet
and they can't deny
who he is,
they know it's Jesus
but actually says
they disbelieve
with joy.
We would say
it's too good
to be true.
I know it's true
but I just can't wrap
my mind around it.
Some of you have felt
that way about Jesus,
haven't you?
You know those emotions
and the disciples here
feel all of those things
that we feel
in different ways
in our own hearts
about the story,
this incredible story.
It's crazy
of a man rising
from the dead
and they say,
come with us.
We're going to tell you
about it
and they're going to invite you
to come with them
as Jesus shows up
in real time
and soothes their fears
with his presence.
He calms their anxieties
with his words.
He shatters their doubts
with his reality
and truth.
Jesus wants us
to know him like that too.
And so,
again,
for the third time now
on Easter Sunday,
someone wanting
to know Jesus
is pointed where?
To the Old Testament
scriptures.
To the Bible.
Verse 44.
Then Jesus said to them,
these are my words
that I spoke to you
while I was still with you
that everything written
about me
in the law of Moses
and the prophets
and the Psalms,
that's the whole thing
by the way,
Old Testament,
must be fulfilled.
Then he opened their minds
to understand
the scriptures.
What's Jesus opening
their minds to
in God's word?
There's a lot of stuff
in here, right?
It's the same things
he's been telling us
are so vitally important
over and over.
He's been saying it
through this last half
of Luke.
Keep reading.
He said to them,
thus it is written
that the Christ
should suffer
and on the third day
rise from the dead.
We've heard this, right?
God's story,
the one Jesus' witnesses
must tell
features the death
and the resurrection
of Jesus.
Jesus.
Again,
he's showing them
how this is exactly
why he came.
Why God has been
telling his people
from the beginning
that it must be this way.
Remember we talked
a couple of weeks ago
how this whole
Old Testament story
points to Jesus.
Over and over
it points to a promised king
who would die
to rescue God's people
and restore their relationship
with him.
Jesus opens
their Bibles
with them again.
We suspect
they were already open
when he showed up
because they were talking
to each other
about Jesus that night.
And now he opens
their minds
even more
to understand.
They understand
those really
vital things
but this time
there's actually
something new.
Y'all listen to me
for a second.
Jesus never
adds anything
to his core focus.
You've heard it
enough times
by now
to recognize it, right?
I am going
to Jerusalem.
I must go.
I must suffer.
I must die
and on the third day
be raised from the dead
and that is how
it goes every time.
End of story.
That's the good news, right?
The Savior
coming.
But there's more?
This time
Jesus actually
goes on
and adds something
we haven't heard
in this context before
that he's teaching them
from the Bible
verse 47
and that repentance
and forgiveness
of sins
should be proclaimed
in his name
to all nations
beginning
from Jerusalem.
What's going on here?
What's going on
is that now
it's time to move
the mission forward.
The good news
is meant for everyone, right?
All these important things
have happened
now people need
to know about it.
Remember back
from the angels
to the shepherds
before Jesus even
enters into the world
Jesus has been promised
he's been promised
to be good news
of great joy
for all people.
There's news
to proclaim
in the name of Jesus
repent and believe
come back
to your father
be forgiven
and cleansed forever.
Jesus says
hey
I got a secret
for you
I'm not making
this stuff up
this is not new
this has always
been God's mission
it's just
you could only
handle a piece
at a time
for me
and even those things
you didn't understand.
It's like what we heard
Rob Futo say
in the video earlier
the church
is a
mission
not a club
it's not about
us
but about
those who
aren't here
yet
right?
That's true
for the church
in Hungary
it's true
for the church
in Huntsville
why?
Because it's
always been
true
of God's
people
the church
must be
on mission
to everyone
all nations
or it's not
the church
church
Jesus tells
them how
making his
name known
to the nations
has always
been crucial
to the story
man this must
have been
another great
sermon
like the one
on the road
to Emmaus
that I wanted
to be there
for
and as I
said then
I'm not sure
all Jesus
says as he
opens the
Bible for
them
but from
the rest
of the
New Testament
he told
at least
some
of this
story
a story
that God
who from
the first
time that
mankind
fell out
of that
intimate
relationship
that he
created them
for was
set on
rescuing
him
and he
started with
a special
relationship
with one
nation
one group
of people
right
but even
when he
blessed
Abraham
and Israel
it was
for the
sake of
all the
nations
for the
ends
of the
earth
and so
God
says to
Abraham
in your
offspring
singular
particular
offspring
by the
way
shall
all
the
nations
of the
earth
be
blessed
and
Isaiah
prophesies
of this
promised
Messiah
it's
too light
a thing
it's
too small
it's not
enough
that you
should be
my servant
to raise
up the
tribes
of Jacob
and bring
back the
preserved
of Israel
millions
of them
though they
be
that's
not
enough
I've
got a
bigger
vision
God
says
I
will
make
you
as a
light
for the
nations
that
my
salvation
may
reach
where
to
the
end
of
the
earth
that's
the
Messiah
who's
coming
Micah
talks
about him
that way
another
prophet
who says
this
Messiah
is going
to be
born
in
Bethlehem
right after
that
what does
he say
he'll
stand
and shepherd
his flock
in the
strength
of the
Lord
and the
majesty
of the
name
of the
Lord
his
God
and
they'll
all
dwell
secure
for now
he
shall
be
great
to
the
ends
of
the
earth
not
just
in
Bethlehem
to
the
ends
of
the
earth
and
he
shall
be
their
peace
the
prophet
Zechariah
tells us
about a
king
who's
going to
come
and enter
on a
donkey
and
Jesus
has
just
done
that
just
a week
ago
right
and
then he
says
this
king
that
comes
in
on
a
donkey
shall
speak
peace
where
to
the
nations
his
rule
shall
be
from
sea
to
sea
from
the
river
to
the
ends
of
the
earth
do
you
hear
what
God's
been
saying
all
along
peace
to
the
nations
to
the
end
of
the
earth
if
you
had
a
King
James
Bible
you
could
read
it
the
right
way
which
is
to
the
uttermost
parts
of
the
earth
is
the
best
way
to
say
it
you
see
that's
God's
mission
through
the
whole
Bible
that's
his
heart
yes
the
Messiah
would
come
to
rescue
and
restore
God's
people
yes
he
would
die
and
rise
so
that
when
you
repent
and
trust
in
him
your
sins
are
forgiven
yes
but
that's
only
one
piece
that
good
news
was
always
for
all
people
in
all
nations
they
were
all
supposed
to
hear
about
it
they
were
all
to
know
him
and
now
Jesus
comes
and he
adds
that
on
to
what's
happening
for
the
disciples
can
you
imagine
their
excitement
I
mean
just
think
about
it
the
risen
Jesus
is
there
this
is
going
to
be
great
this
is
the
guy
who
always
heals
anybody
who's
sick
this
is
the
guy
who
whenever
any
of
us
is
hungry
he's
got
us
covered
right
more
food
for
everybody
this
is
the
one
who
always
knows
what
to
say
in
every
from
the
dead
and
now
the
Christ
will
proclaim
repentance
and
forgiveness
of
sins
to
all
the
nations
and
they're
like
let's
go
except
that's
not
exactly
what
Jesus
said
the
Christ
should
suffer
the
Christ
should
rise
from
the
dead
but
then
repentance
and
forgiveness
of
sins
should
be
proclaimed
in
his
name
Jesus
says
I've
scheduled
the
world
tour
now
see
ya
I'm
out
it's
a little
bit
disconcerting
actually
verse 48
he says
you
are
witnesses
of
these
things
I
just
imagine
the
disciples
who've
gotten
so
excited
hearing
that
and
saying
oh
I
think
he
meant
road
crew
like
you
know
plan
some
potlucks
hang
around
with
Jesus
organize
some
conferences
for him
to speak
at
and
that's
what he
meant
Jesus
says
no
witnesses
you're
witnesses
you're
the ones
with the
story
to share
you're
the ones
to proclaim
repentance
and forgiveness
of sins
in my name
where
to all
nations
everybody
needs to
know
so
Jesus
you mean
we
11
you know
confused
followers
am I
hearing you
right
I mean
maybe
if you
helped
us
we could
gather
a few
hundred
back
around
probably
but
all
the
nations
Jesus
come
on
now
but
what
happens
well
if
Jesus
being
made
known
to
the
nations
was
the
goal
I
I'd
say
God
knew
what
he
was
doing
2,000
years
from
this
conversation
in a
little
room
in
Jerusalem
billions
of
people
have
repented
and
received
forgiveness
of
sins
from
nearly
every
people
tribe
language
and
nation
nearly
the
mission
is
still
underway
but
listen
if
you're
like
me
and
you
hear
that
and
you
think
most
days
that
God
would
be
crazy
to
make
you
a
witness
pick
somebody
else
all I
can say
is it
looks like
he knows
what he's
doing
see
Jesus
never
calls
us
to
something
without
empowering
us
for
it
does
he
verse
49
behold
I'm
sending
the
promise
of
my
father
upon
you
but
stay
in
the
city
until
you
are
clothed
with
power
from
on
high
Jesus
says
I've
got
a
gift
for
you
because
sometimes
witnesses
can be
intimidated
can't
they
I mean
they've
got
someone
to
talk
about
they've
got
a
story
to
share
but
sometimes
they just
can't
get up
the
nerve
to
do
it
because
there's
people
who
won't
like
hearing
their
testimony
yeah
there
are a lot
of other
things
that I
could fill
my
schedule
with
besides
that
so
Jesus
empowers
witnesses
with the
gift
of his
spirit
there's
no other
way for
this
mission
to be
accomplished
is
there
I
mean
when
Jesus
said
he
was
leaving
they
knew
immediately
they
couldn't
do it
alone
they
weren't
wrong
Jesus
says
yeah
you're
right
don't
go
anywhere
alone
it's
not
safe
you're
not
strong
enough
you're
not
faithful
enough
witnesses
don't
leave
the
city
you
can't
be
trusted
on
your
own
wait
for
the
spirit
listen
this is
really
important
witnesses
we
must
rely
on
his
power
there's
no other
way
to do
this
the
disciples
experience
it at
Pentecost
when the
Holy Spirit
comes in
power
and if
you know
Jesus
you have
a new
identity
as a
witness
yes
but also
a new
empowerment
for your
mission
as a
witness
see
it's
actually
even a
little bit
more
exciting
for you
than
for the
disciples
Jesus
is not
telling you
this morning
to go
somewhere
and wait
that was
for them
they had
to wait
until Jesus
left
and sent
the spirit
guess what
already
happened
that
part's
over
so
you have
if you
know
Jesus
his spirit
living
and active
in you
already
and in
others
and in
this
world
he's
at work
so yes
wait
independence
upon him
absolutely
but you
don't have
to wait
for
Pentecost
you're
2000 years
beyond that
your body
is a temple
of the Holy
Spirit
who lives
in you
your church
is a part
of the people
from every
tribe
tongue
language
and nation
who are
together
a temple
where the
spirit
lives
you have
the power
that raised
Jesus
from the
dead
in you
and among
us
to be
witnesses
that's
where
boldness
comes
from
y'all
boldness
that most
of us
are pretty
unfamiliar
with
right
boldness
especially
for weak
people
like
me
you
will be
clothed
with
power
from on
high
now that's
that's
witness
where we
can be
proud
of
I
couldn't
resist
that
joke
I
knew
it
wasn't
very
good
but
really
I
want
you
actually
I
say it
because I
want you
to remember
it
clothed
with
power
covered
in what
you need
to be
a witness
clothed
with power
not of
yourself
but
but words
to speak
when you
don't have
answers
think
through
church
history
confidence
to speak
the name
of Jesus
while the
flames
are starting
to rise
up at
your feet
when the
sword
is
close
to your
neck
strength
to endure
rejection
and being
left out
by those
who hate
your testimony
the power
to be a
witness
y'all
the power
is his
and he
uses weak
vessels
for his
glory
God
reminded me
of this
reality
several times
on my
recent
trip
to India
one of
those in
particular
was as we
were preparing
to come
back
and the
first leg
of my
journey
home
was about
to start
so I
prayed
the night
before
for gospel
opportunities
on the
way home
and I'm
picturing
these long
plane rides
where somebody
has to listen
to me
talking
but the
first leg
was actually
a three
hour car
ride
and at the
last minute
we stopped
to pick up
a young
man in
his late
20s
we met
seemed like
a nice
guy
we get
back in
the car
the driver
turns to
me and
says
oh hey
he's not
a Christian
why don't
you share
the gospel
with him
oh okay
so having
just met
him and
being an
expert in
evangelism
I turned
and said
hey
I'm in
India to
share with
people about
Jesus
do you know
who Jesus
is
y'all
that's not
in any
of the
evangelism
books to
start that
way
and he
says back
through my
translator
this
he says
he knows
Jesus is
a God
and that
Jesus died
on a cross
but he
doesn't know
why Jesus
died on a
cross
could you
explain that
to him
let me
think
I mean
I suppose
if I had
to start
somewhere
I could
possibly
start by
talking about
why Jesus
died on the
cross
y'all
my six
year old
could have
finished the
story from
there
right
like
she could
have
handled
answering
that
question
and here
God
God is
doing
something
unmistakable
in that
moment I
felt so
clearly
the presence
of the
Holy Spirit
answering my
prayers
he was
working in
this man's
heart
and then he
was at the
same time
making it
painfully
but gloriously
obvious
that his
confidence
was not
in my
evangelistic
abilities
let me
take care
of this
one
okay
but that
he was
at work
I was
weak in
witnessing
I know
that
but he's
strong
and that
was all
that mattered
he had
everything
teed up
he was
the powerful
one
I just
said
Bunty
you have
a son
do you
love him
would you
do anything
to get him
back if you
lost him
that's what
God did
on the cross
he loves
many of
us
many sons
he has
that he
loves
and they
needed to be
rescued and
brought back
to him
so Jesus
had to die
on the cross
for us
and I got to
share my
story
my experience
with Jesus
I got to
share from the
Bible's story
because he had
three hours
so even I could
get through it
in three hours
he even invited
me to share
with his family
when we got
to his home
at the end
of the ride
I tell you
that so that
you know
that the
Holy Spirit
is working
in India
and the
Holy Spirit
is working
in Hungary
in these places
to see repentance
and forgiveness
of sins
proclaimed to
all the nations
he's working
there to make
the name of
Jesus known
and if he's
working there
you can know
confidently
he's working
in Huntsville
Jesus is equally
alive here
equally committed
here to many
people hearing
the good news
and finding
life in him
who needs to
hear from you
where has God
called you to
go as a
witness to the
nations
who's coming
to know Jesus
would delight
your heart
the question
is not if
you're strong
enough
but rather
if you believe
he is
you are here
to be a
witness
to tell
the story
of Jesus
to tell
your story
with Jesus
and the only
power you need
is his
he is with you
now why do we
fear failure
when he ensures
our success
in his mission
he hears your
prayers
he knows your
weakness
he has sent
his holy
spirit
to give you
power
for making
him known
that's a big
part of what's
going on at
this table
right
Jesus
comes here
to give us
a special
reminder
of his
presence
with us
he meets
with us
and feeds
us by his
spirit
to strengthen
our faith
for making
him known
for being
witnesses
he didn't
want you
to do it
alone
so he
sends you
back here
all the
time
to remember
you're not
this bread
and this
juice
are to
encourage
your faith
by reminding
you
Jesus
gave
himself
for you
and you're
never alone
in your
mission
to make
him known
to the
nations
he sat
with those
disciples
he took
bread
and broke
it
and gave
it to
him
as I
ministering
in his
name
give this
bread
to you
he said
take
eat
this is
my body
broken
for you
do this
in remembrance
of me
so you remember
I'm always
with you
and then he
took the cup
and said
this cup
is the new
covenant
in my blood
which is shed
for many
for the forgiveness
of sins
drink from it
all of you
there's forgiveness
for you
and to be
shared with others
and so
drink and remember
that
that it comes
only through me
and don't let
anyone else
miss that
if you don't
know Jesus
this may seem
a little bit
odd
and we
would
encourage
you this
morning
don't come
and take
bread and
juice
that mean
nothing
to you
the bible
warns against
us doing
that in a
careless
manner
but we're
so glad
that you're
here
and we
would invite
you if
you'd like
you can still
come forward
to these
tables and
ask us
to pray
with you
or we'd
love to
talk with
you after
the service
because our
mission is
to make
the name
of Jesus
known
it's why
we're here
nothing would
delight us
more than to
get to tell
you about
him grab
any of
us that's
why we're
here but
if you do
know him
if you're
part of his
people whether
whether here
at Southwood
or or at
any other
church please
come and
celebrate remember
that he's here
with you he he
comes by his
spirit to meet
with you and
to feed you
so that you
receive forgiveness
that you repent
and know the love
of a father who
always welcomes
you home
and that you're
strengthened as
you eat to be
a witness to
your risen savior
let's pray and
then we'll
celebrate
Jesus thank
you
for deciding
we could be a
part of this
as weak as we
are for for
being committed
to making us a
part of what
you're doing
in this world
it dignifies us
beyond what we
deserve it makes
every moment of
our lives matter
for something
we're grateful
thank you so
much for not
leaving us
alone thank
you for giving
yourself for us
and for sending
your spirit to be
with us strengthen
us even now we
ask in your name
amen
our host team
members will
usher you to
tables forward and
backward and we
will rejoice and
eat with Jesus
