00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.299
 So friends, the Holy Gospel is found in the Good News according to St. Matthew, chapter 11, start at the 25th verse.

00:00:08.980 --> 00:00:20.820
 At that time, Jesus declared, I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children.

00:00:21.660 --> 00:00:24.740
 Yes, Father, for such was your gracious will.

00:00:24.739 --> 00:00:36.399
 All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.

00:00:37.420 --> 00:00:43.140
 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

00:00:43.939 --> 00:00:51.799
 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:55.899
 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

00:00:57.679 --> 00:00:59.320
 So we all want rest.

00:00:59.839 --> 00:01:05.379
 In some capacity, we all want to feel that sense of rest.

00:01:06.060 --> 00:01:07.379
 And what do I mean by that?

00:01:08.420 --> 00:01:14.200
 Well, we go about our lives at certain points, and we try to seek out these moments of rest.

00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:23.320
 Whether it's, we work all year, then we want to go on a vacation, and we want to have this moment of rest, because we feel like we've worked hard for it.

00:01:23.780 --> 00:01:27.640
 Or maybe we just went through the holiday season, and we want to have rest from our families.

00:01:28.140 --> 00:01:30.659
 We all seek this feeling of having rest.

00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:33.680
 But is all rest equal?

00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:36.379
 Is all rest good?

00:01:36.379 --> 00:01:40.299
 The text that Daniel just read is the text we're going to be looking at.

00:01:40.739 --> 00:01:45.780
 And Jesus is talking about offering this rest, if you come to him.

00:01:46.579 --> 00:01:49.719
 So what is this rest that Jesus talks about?

00:01:50.299 --> 00:01:52.780
 Is this the same kind of rest as taking a vacation?

00:01:53.479 --> 00:01:56.859
 Is it the same kind of rest as sitting back on the couch and watching Netflix?

00:01:57.159 --> 00:01:57.640
 What is it?

00:01:57.899 --> 00:01:58.759
 What's the rest?

00:01:59.379 --> 00:02:00.699
 So we're going to look at that.

00:02:00.700 --> 00:02:05.920
 And the text that we're going to look at speaks of it in three ways, the way we're going to look at it.

00:02:06.520 --> 00:02:09.219
 It says, it talks about who can have this rest.

00:02:10.180 --> 00:02:12.379
 It talks about who gives this rest.

00:02:13.060 --> 00:02:15.659
 And then it also talks about how to get this rest.

00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:20.920
 And we're also going to have to address what is this rest that Jesus is talking about.

00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:24.939
 Is it just sitting back, relaxing on the couch, or is it something else?

00:02:24.939 --> 00:02:30.939
 So if you haven't already, turn to Matthew chapter 11, verses 25 to 30.

00:02:31.780 --> 00:02:37.020
 It's very helpful to have that with you, because you can see what happens after and what happens before the text.

00:02:37.099 --> 00:02:41.079
 And to make sure I'm actually reading the text that we're talking about.

00:02:41.500 --> 00:02:42.680
 So let's look at it.

00:02:42.860 --> 00:02:44.479
 So who can have this rest?

00:02:45.099 --> 00:02:47.460
 And we're going to look at verses 25 and 26.

00:02:47.460 --> 00:02:52.379
 At that time, Jesus declared,

00:02:53.379 --> 00:02:56.879
 I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth,

00:02:57.140 --> 00:03:00.340
 that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding,

00:03:00.640 --> 00:03:02.980
 and revealed them to little children.

00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:06.340
 Yes, Father, for such was your gracious will.

00:03:08.100 --> 00:03:13.080
 Now over the holiday season, I've been watching a lot of YouTube.

00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:20.640
 And the thing with YouTube is they have an algorithm that gives you ads that they think you want to watch.

00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:26.620
 And the ad that for some reason that keeps popping up for me is this ad about the Ritz-Carlton cruise.

00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:28.760
 This luxurious cruise.

00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:29.780
 It keeps coming up.

00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:32.780
 Every time I click on a video, it comes up where it's halfway through the video.

00:03:33.420 --> 00:03:39.120
 And this ad describes this cruise that you can go on.

00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:42.740
 We all know the Ritz hotels, so we can just imagine the luxuriousness of it.

00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:46.460
 It shows it in this tropical, warm area.

00:03:47.300 --> 00:03:51.160
 And it shows these people who are having a great time, relaxing.

00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:56.439
 And then there's always this slogan that keeps coming up, that you deserve this.

00:03:57.040 --> 00:04:01.000
 This cruise is for the other people.

00:04:01.540 --> 00:04:02.840
 Those who are set apart.

00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:03.740
 Those who are better.

00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:06.720
 It's a new level of luxurious rest.

00:04:07.639 --> 00:04:10.259
 It's obviously catering to a certain clientele.

00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:13.780
 I don't know why it comes up for me, because there's no way I could go on it.

00:04:14.860 --> 00:04:22.480
 In the context that we're looking at here, that Jesus is speaking to his disciples and to those who are around, talking with him.

00:04:22.819 --> 00:04:23.779
 And they're listening to him.

00:04:23.779 --> 00:04:28.599
 And then there's also the Pharisees and the scribes and the religious leaders of that time.

00:04:29.119 --> 00:04:31.399
 And in Jerusalem, they are considered the elite.

00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:32.799
 The elite people.

00:04:32.919 --> 00:04:38.199
 People come to them to know what's up, what to know about religious matters, daily matters.

00:04:39.219 --> 00:04:44.619
 And as you read the Gospels, you see that they consider themselves better than others.

00:04:44.799 --> 00:04:45.679
 Those who are lower.

00:04:45.859 --> 00:04:46.500
 They know better.

00:04:46.500 --> 00:04:53.519
 In our context, it could be a politician or someone who's highly educated who thinks they're better because they've gone to school.

00:04:53.819 --> 00:04:56.199
 Or they're wealthy or they have influence.

00:04:56.600 --> 00:05:02.420
 It could even be a pastor who thinks they don't need to know anything from their congregation, that they know it all.

00:05:03.620 --> 00:05:07.620
 It's this idea within those who think this way.

00:05:07.699 --> 00:05:12.620
 It could be, I'm sure I fall prey to this too, that I don't need any help.

00:05:12.620 --> 00:05:14.720
 That I deserve this.

00:05:15.060 --> 00:05:16.079
 I deserve rest.

00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:18.639
 I deserve to be above other people.

00:05:19.300 --> 00:05:20.319
 Self-reliant.

00:05:20.660 --> 00:05:21.620
 Only need themselves.

00:05:23.019 --> 00:05:30.280
 But Jesus here, as we read, talks about this idea that he thanks the Father.

00:05:31.100 --> 00:05:36.579
 That things have only been revealed to those who are childlike, to children.

00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:41.540
 Not to the wise and understanding as we think that they would know better.

00:05:41.540 --> 00:05:43.360
 But he reveals it to children.

00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:55.740
 Something that shocked me, that I'm sure shocks any first-time parent, is how helpless a newborn baby is.

00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:56.560
 Or a baby is.

00:05:56.939 --> 00:05:59.400
 John is nine months and he's still completely helpless.

00:05:59.820 --> 00:06:02.400
 It's shocking how utterly helpless babies are.

00:06:02.900 --> 00:06:05.080
 And we have to care for them deeply.

00:06:05.520 --> 00:06:07.939
 And they rely completely on us.

00:06:08.700 --> 00:06:10.200
 Even if they push away.

00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:16.539
 See, Christmas, as we just celebrated, and we're continuing to celebrate in the Advent season,

00:06:17.159 --> 00:06:23.000
 is the story of the great hope of God entering into the world as this helpless baby.

00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:25.740
 This baby that's completely helpless.

00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:29.019
 Became helpless to help the helpless.

00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:31.480
 That's the Christmas story in a nutshell.

00:06:32.620 --> 00:06:34.399
 But what is Jesus getting at?

00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:45.679
 Jesus is getting at this idea that only those who come to God completely helpless will be revealed to them.

00:06:46.719 --> 00:06:48.659
 That is what Jesus is getting at here.

00:06:49.039 --> 00:06:53.659
 If those who rely on their self-knowledge, the Father will not be revealed to them.

00:06:54.099 --> 00:06:55.679
 That is what Jesus is getting at here.

00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:58.860
 And it's something that we need to watch out for.

00:06:59.699 --> 00:07:03.319
 Only those who realize their need will be saved, as Jesus says here.

00:07:03.740 --> 00:07:05.199
 As he talks about this rest.

00:07:06.019 --> 00:07:07.300
 But who gives the rest?

00:07:08.139 --> 00:07:12.240
 In verse 27, he thanks the Father that all things have been given to him.

00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:16.840
 All authority has been given to Jesus to reveal the Father to those he chooses.

00:07:17.960 --> 00:07:19.199
 Now Jesus is pretty clear here.

00:07:19.280 --> 00:07:20.079
 What does that mean?

00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:23.279
 The Father has given the Son all authority.

00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:28.459
 Through the Bible in the New Testament, Jesus is described as the doorkeeper.

00:07:29.019 --> 00:07:30.379
 The one who has the keys.

00:07:30.500 --> 00:07:31.240
 He is the shepherd.

00:07:32.099 --> 00:07:33.300
 He is the great physician.

00:07:34.099 --> 00:07:35.139
 He is the light.

00:07:35.740 --> 00:07:37.259
 He is the fountain of life.

00:07:38.539 --> 00:07:42.139
 Jesus is described as the one that you have to go to,

00:07:42.139 --> 00:07:45.599
 to experience salvation.

00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:51.620
 I recently was at a secular funeral.

00:07:52.300 --> 00:07:54.620
 And they talk about going to a better place.

00:07:54.700 --> 00:07:58.900
 They talk about the person is looking down on us right now.

00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:01.260
 But this person had no interest in spiritual matters.

00:08:01.900 --> 00:08:02.939
 They got there on their own.

00:08:03.780 --> 00:08:07.900
 But Jesus here is talking about this rest that he gives.

00:08:08.280 --> 00:08:09.800
 Is you have to go to him.

00:08:10.140 --> 00:08:12.920
 And it's only through him that it's revealed.

00:08:13.200 --> 00:08:14.160
 And that's the gospel.

00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:20.380
 The gospel is that God sent his son to the world as a baby.

00:08:21.260 --> 00:08:25.439
 And he grew up completely reliant on his parents.

00:08:26.180 --> 00:08:27.780
 And he lived this perfect life.

00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:30.300
 Because we cannot live it ourselves.

00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:33.340
 That we have to have someone come and stand before us.

00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:35.340
 That's the gospel message.

00:08:35.500 --> 00:08:38.680
 That Jesus died for us and rose again for us.

00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:42.580
 But what's the rest that Jesus is talking about?

00:08:42.580 --> 00:08:44.139
 Is Jesus giving out vacations?

00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:45.860
 As we talked about cruises.

00:08:46.659 --> 00:08:48.339
 Well, if we look at the next verses.

00:08:49.339 --> 00:08:49.919
 The famous.

00:08:50.079 --> 00:08:51.419
 These verses are famous.

00:08:51.819 --> 00:08:52.919
 Everyone knows these verses.

00:08:53.199 --> 00:08:55.579
 If they're familiar with the gospel of Matthew.

00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:57.059
 Let's look at them.

00:08:57.559 --> 00:08:58.959
 28 to 30.

00:09:01.339 --> 00:09:02.579
 Jesus is saying,

00:09:02.580 --> 00:09:03.580
 Come to me.

00:09:03.580 --> 00:09:03.940
 Come to me.

00:09:03.940 --> 00:09:06.020
 All who labor.

00:09:06.020 --> 00:09:06.080
 All who labor.

00:09:06.420 --> 00:09:07.780
 And are heavy laden.

00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:09.160
 And I will give you rest.

00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:11.960
 Take my yoke upon you.

00:09:12.100 --> 00:09:13.420
 And learn from me.

00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:16.000
 For I am gentle and lonely in heart.

00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:18.160
 And you will find rest for your souls.

00:09:18.540 --> 00:09:19.759
 For my yoke is easy.

00:09:19.860 --> 00:09:20.980
 And my burden is light.

00:09:20.980 --> 00:09:27.659
 Now in the context of this.

00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:30.019
 What Jesus is referring to here.

00:09:30.500 --> 00:09:33.700
 Is that the religious leaders and the scribes of the day.

00:09:33.700 --> 00:09:35.400
 They would.

00:09:35.400 --> 00:09:35.440
 They would.

00:09:36.540 --> 00:09:39.259
 They would heap on these burdensome tasks.

00:09:39.660 --> 00:09:41.240
 They would heap on them the law.

00:09:41.379 --> 00:09:42.500
 And make up other laws.

00:09:42.920 --> 00:09:43.680
 The mosaic law.

00:09:44.379 --> 00:09:45.660
 And then they would push it on them.

00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:48.440
 To a certain extent that they can't even handle it.

00:09:48.520 --> 00:09:49.700
 And they would feel burdensome.

00:09:50.560 --> 00:09:52.000
 And Jesus saw this.

00:09:52.700 --> 00:09:54.800
 And Jesus is the fulfillment of the law.

00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:57.740
 And he offers himself as the fulfillment.

00:09:58.839 --> 00:10:00.500
 So what he's saying here is that I.

00:10:01.659 --> 00:10:02.899
 If you come to me.

00:10:04.219 --> 00:10:06.039
 The burden of the law is broken.

00:10:06.899 --> 00:10:08.339
 If you come to me.

00:10:08.779 --> 00:10:10.500
 The law is fulfilled within me.

00:10:11.659 --> 00:10:13.359
 And he talks about this rest.

00:10:13.620 --> 00:10:15.359
 So what is this rest that he talks about?

00:10:15.839 --> 00:10:18.519
 Jesus is talking about the rest from the law.

00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:21.199
 The law where you feel like you have to.

00:10:21.979 --> 00:10:24.259
 Constantly fight for God's approval.

00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:26.359
 That is no more with Christ.

00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:29.740
 And it's also this rest of eternal rest.

00:10:30.139 --> 00:10:32.319
 This future hope that we can look to.

00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:34.699
 The rest of when Jesus returns.

00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:37.719
 I'm currently going through the book of Revelation.

00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:41.419
 And there's a lot of things in the book of Revelations that's hard to understand.

00:10:41.779 --> 00:10:44.319
 But the main theme of the book of Revelation.

00:10:44.979 --> 00:10:46.579
 Is that Jesus is king.

00:10:47.199 --> 00:10:48.120
 He is the lamb.

00:10:48.579 --> 00:10:52.139
 And that he is coming to bring in the new Jerusalem.

00:10:52.299 --> 00:10:52.839
 The new city.

00:10:53.259 --> 00:10:53.839
 The new hope.

00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:56.899
 The hope that we hope for now.

00:10:57.120 --> 00:10:58.200
 That we rest in.

00:10:58.700 --> 00:11:01.100
 We find rest in the city that will come.

00:11:03.019 --> 00:11:04.780
 But how do we get this rest?

00:11:05.340 --> 00:11:06.160
 How do we get it?

00:11:08.220 --> 00:11:11.420
 Jesus brings it out to us in four ways.

00:11:12.180 --> 00:11:13.240
 He says, come to me.

00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:15.460
 He says, take my yoke.

00:11:16.100 --> 00:11:17.480
 He says, learn from me.

00:11:17.980 --> 00:11:19.560
 And he says, my burden is light.

00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:22.879
 So what does he mean by when he says, come to me?

00:11:23.479 --> 00:11:26.079
 Well, as we looked at, or as we talked about.

00:11:26.979 --> 00:11:29.299
 Jesus says, you must come to me as a child.

00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:32.079
 You must come to me as self-reliant.

00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:37.979
 You must come to me not as one who thinks they can build themselves up to get to God.

00:11:37.980 --> 00:11:41.379
 You must have childlike faith.

00:11:41.379 --> 00:11:45.240
 The reliance on Jesus' finished work on the cross.

00:11:46.340 --> 00:11:49.639
 And those who don't, they willingly reject Christ.

00:11:50.659 --> 00:11:53.620
 And he says here, if you see, he says, come to me all.

00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:57.940
 This isn't an exclusive, only some can come.

00:11:58.540 --> 00:12:03.480
 Everyone is invited, but only few come, as Jesus talks about.

00:12:04.260 --> 00:12:05.600
 And then he says, take my yoke.

00:12:07.220 --> 00:12:14.920
 A yoke is when a farmer of that time, they put this piece of wood around an ox.

00:12:15.400 --> 00:12:17.560
 And the yoke has two spots.

00:12:17.860 --> 00:12:21.700
 There's the lead ox, the one who's familiar, the one who's well-trained.

00:12:22.040 --> 00:12:24.880
 And then there's the ox that's being trained, so they're a bit behind.

00:12:25.280 --> 00:12:26.940
 And they're led by the lead ox.

00:12:26.940 --> 00:12:32.100
 So what Jesus is saying here is that you need to be yoked to me.

00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:35.740
 You need to be, I need to lead you as you follow me.

00:12:36.620 --> 00:12:39.240
 That's what he's saying when he says, take my yoke.

00:12:39.860 --> 00:12:41.980
 He means complete submission to him.

00:12:42.940 --> 00:12:44.560
 To your wills, you need to submit.

00:12:45.980 --> 00:12:48.120
 All your desires, you need to submit to him.

00:12:48.180 --> 00:12:49.100
 You need to follow him.

00:12:49.180 --> 00:12:50.960
 You need to be yoked to him.

00:12:51.040 --> 00:12:52.260
 It's active, not passive.

00:12:53.940 --> 00:12:55.840
 And then he says, learn from me.

00:12:56.940 --> 00:13:00.080
 What he means by that is reading scripture.

00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:01.480
 Because it's his word.

00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:02.340
 It's God's word.

00:13:02.900 --> 00:13:03.800
 It's praying to him.

00:13:03.900 --> 00:13:05.100
 It's meditating on Jesus.

00:13:05.220 --> 00:13:07.280
 And it's finished work on the cross.

00:13:08.340 --> 00:13:10.300
 And he says his burden is light.

00:13:10.880 --> 00:13:11.840
 Now this is interesting.

00:13:12.060 --> 00:13:14.040
 Because he offers this rest.

00:13:14.880 --> 00:13:16.180
 And when we think rest,

00:13:16.660 --> 00:13:18.740
 we think it's something, a complete relaxation.

00:13:19.700 --> 00:13:20.720
 No more worry.

00:13:21.040 --> 00:13:22.520
 No more stress.

00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:24.819
 But he calls it a burden.

00:13:25.639 --> 00:13:26.819
 What does he mean by that?

00:13:26.939 --> 00:13:29.460
 See, the rest that he offers,

00:13:29.659 --> 00:13:31.039
 there is a burden to it.

00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:33.259
 But it's a lighter burden

00:13:33.259 --> 00:13:35.379
 that if you don't have Christ in your life.

00:13:36.379 --> 00:13:38.079
 Because what he's talking about

00:13:38.079 --> 00:13:39.759
 is that you have this rest.

00:13:40.279 --> 00:13:41.759
 This rest that you know

00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:45.059
 that the work is finished.

00:13:45.059 --> 00:13:46.879
 That you do not have to try

00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:48.639
 to get right with God

00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:51.319
 if you have your faith and trust in Christ.

00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:53.559
 Because you've already been made right.

00:13:54.419 --> 00:13:55.659
 You can rest in that.

00:13:56.539 --> 00:13:57.720
 Because being a Christian,

00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:00.799
 it's not promised

00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:02.639
 that life is going to be easy.

00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:04.039
 It's not promised

00:14:04.039 --> 00:14:06.620
 that you're going to get through life unscathed.

00:14:06.799 --> 00:14:08.659
 You're not going to be hurt by people.

00:14:08.819 --> 00:14:10.519
 You're not going to

00:14:10.519 --> 00:14:12.519
 experience injustice in your life.

00:14:12.519 --> 00:14:15.159
 But what Jesus is saying here

00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:16.559
 is that you can come to me,

00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:18.500
 yoke yourself to me,

00:14:19.379 --> 00:14:21.279
 and I will give you the rest

00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:22.279
 to get through it.

00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:25.019
 My burden is light.

00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:27.439
 And this burden also

00:14:27.439 --> 00:14:29.799
 is that when you become marked as a Christian,

00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:33.000
 you will experience rejection of people.

00:14:33.699 --> 00:14:35.220
 You will experience the persecution

00:14:35.220 --> 00:14:38.299
 that Jesus has experienced before.

00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:41.620
 These verses are famous.

00:14:41.620 --> 00:14:42.799
 that come to me,

00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:44.240
 all who labor

00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:45.460
 and are heavy laden,

00:14:45.539 --> 00:14:46.440
 and I'll give you rest.

00:14:47.019 --> 00:14:48.620
 Take my yoke upon you

00:14:48.620 --> 00:14:49.620
 and learn from me.

00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:50.980
 For I am gentle

00:14:50.980 --> 00:14:51.980
 and lowly in heart,

00:14:52.179 --> 00:14:53.639
 and you'll find rest for your souls.

00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:55.980
 For my yoke is easy,

00:14:56.639 --> 00:14:58.139
 and my burden is light.

00:15:00.100 --> 00:15:01.700
 That's the gospel hope, right?

00:15:01.779 --> 00:15:02.879
 That's why we all come here.

00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:04.879
 We all come here

00:15:04.879 --> 00:15:06.919
 to reflect on that hope,

00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:08.639
 to be reminded of that hope,

00:15:09.060 --> 00:15:10.200
 to be reminded

00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:12.040
 of what Christ has done in our lives.

00:15:13.259 --> 00:15:14.480
 Rest in this life.

00:15:15.540 --> 00:15:17.000
 Rest in the internal salvation

00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:17.800
 that he promises.

00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:20.420
 Jesus promises this,

00:15:20.820 --> 00:15:22.600
 and all are invited to come to him.

00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:23.190
 as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you can as you
