You are listening to a message from Southwood Presbyterian Church in Huntsville, Alabama.
Our passion is to experience and express grace. Join us.
Amen is right. That's beautiful. Thank you, Michael, for that beautiful song and reminder of our glorious Savior.
What a great, great Savior we have. Turn with me to Numbers chapter 21. Numbers 21.
It's exciting to get to celebrate the entrance of Jesus into Jerusalem, coming as the King on Palm Sunday.
We see Jesus there as the true King coming into Jerusalem, but we also see that Jesus is a very unusual kind of King.
The sobering reality is that He's coming to be exalted on a throne that you'd never expect.
He's coming to be lifted up, but like that song Michael just sang, lifted up was He to die on a cross.
So as we anticipate that kind of, that's a unique coronation.
One that involves death and resurrection again before the end of this week.
We've been talking about some images of the cross from the Old Testament.
Some foreshadows of what it will mean for Jesus to give His life in our place.
We started talking about the scapegoat in Leviticus 16 on the Day of Atonement.
And saw how part of what was happening on the cross is that Jesus was being sent away from the presence of God
to die in our place so that we could come into the presence of God and live on His merit.
Then last week we looked at the blood of the Lamb from Exodus 12 and the Passover.
And we saw how another facet of the cross is that sinners find safety
and are covered from the death their sin deserves only by the blood of the spotless Lamb.
This morning we're looking at one more, a short story.
It's represented there in the middle of that slide.
Numbers 21, as God's people on their way to the promised land are wandering for 40 years in the wilderness, right?
They're wandering because of their sin.
And time after time, what God is doing is He's teaching them to trust Him.
Often by showing them some very painful consequences of their sin and their lack of trust in Him.
This story is no exception to that.
Let's read Moses' account of this situation together.
This is God's holy word.
Numbers 21 at verse 4.
From Mount Hor they set out by the way to the Red Sea to go around the land of Edom.
And the people became impatient on the way.
And the people spoke against God and against Moses.
Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness?
For there is no food and no water and we loathe this worthless food.
Then the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people.
And they bit the people so that many people of Israel died.
And the people came to Moses and said,
We have sinned for we have spoken against the Lord and against you.
Pray to the Lord that He may take away the serpents from us.
So Moses prayed for the people.
And the Lord said to Moses,
Make a fiery serpent and set it on a pole.
And everyone who is bitten when he sees it shall live.
So Moses made a bronze serpent and set it on a pole.
And if a serpent bit anyone,
he would look at the bronze serpent and live.
Pray with me.
Father, this is Your Word.
And we would see Jesus in it this morning.
We need to see Him.
Would You show Him to us by Your Spirit?
We ask in His name.
Amen.
As our story opens this morning,
we find God's people, the Israelites,
wandering in the desert, right?
Remember, God had delivered them out of slavery in Egypt
to bring them to the promised land of Canaan.
He was taking them somewhere,
but they didn't trust Him, did they?
They didn't trust Him to get them into the land,
to care for them as they went in.
So now they're wandering away from the promised land.
And they're becoming impatient, verse 4 says.
The word here, impatient, is the opposite of long-suffering.
They're tired of any suffering or difficulty very quickly.
No patience for it.
And as a result of their impatience, verse 5 says,
they spoke against God and against Moses.
Why have You brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness?
For there's no food and no water,
and we loathe this worthless food.
If you're familiar with the story of the Old Testament,
this sounds a little bit familiar, doesn't it?
It's not the first time that God's people have asked a question like this.
Why did You bring us out of Egypt
if we're just going to die out here in the wilderness?
It seems that the setting sin of this generation of God's people
was discontentment, distrust of God's good care for them
and grumbling against Him.
They asked that question right when they had just gotten out of Egypt.
Did You just bring us out here to die?
There's no food and water, they say.
Or, well, we'll be honest, there is some food.
There is manna God sends every day,
but it's worthless.
So dull and so boringly the same every day when He sends it.
The way You're providing for me, God,
is not meeting my expectations.
They've complained about that
even though God has sent manna from heaven,
water out of a rock,
again, it's not good enough.
And they don't look trustingly to God, do they?
Thankfully, distrusting God's provision
and discontentment about the way that God has cared for us
and provided for us
is not something that anyone struggles with anymore.
It's one of those Old Testament sins, isn't it?
That none of us has ever experienced or known what that feels like.
Aren't you glad for that?
Plus, we don't even know what it would be like
to struggle with the same sin more than once, do we?
I mean, to come back and mess up in the same way again,
none of us can relate to that.
Let's be honest.
We're an entitled bunch of people, aren't we?
We know the things we think we deserve.
We deserve better.
And we're not willing to suffer very long
while waiting on God's promises to come to fruition, are we?
And we know very well, don't we,
what it's like to struggle with a sin
and think we've got it behind us
and then see it show back up.
Back to the same destructive patterns,
the same selfish habits,
the same empty idols that we think we deserve
and are going to fulfill us this time.
You see, that's the poison of discontentment,
of distrusting God
and always feeling He should be caring for us differently.
That lie of Satan back in the garden
creeps in again
and tempts us to believe that God's not really good.
He doesn't really have your best interest at heart.
You know better.
It keeps coming back, doesn't it?
It looks different each time,
but it keeps rearing its ugly head in our hearts.
It's poisonous in our hearts like that.
And God sends among His people here
the manifestation of that toxic venom in their hearts.
That poison of discontent that has spread
shows up in the form of poisonous serpents
that are there to remind them of
the toxic venom in their hearts
that has come out of their lips as well.
They've spoken against God and against Moses
whom He's sent to represent Him.
So the snakes are a constant reminder of what?
Of their sin.
That poisonous venom that is killing them spiritually
just as the snakes are killing them physically.
So what happens after God sends these snakes
and many are dying?
God's people respond to His discipline
and they turn back to Him for help, don't they?
They're desperate.
The snakes are killing them.
And they plead with Moses to intercede for them
and take the snakes away.
Verse 7.
The people came to Moses and said,
We've sinned for we've spoken against the Lord
and against you.
Pray to the Lord that He take away the serpents from us.
So Moses prayed for the people
and the Lord said to Moses,
Make a fiery serpent and set it on a pole
and everyone who is bitten when he sees it shall live.
So Moses made the bronze serpent and set it on a pole
and if a serpent bit anyone,
he would look at the bronze serpent and live.
Notice a couple of things here.
Notice first the merciful heart of God, right?
God who with these people having turned away from Him
and spoken against Him
and grumbled and complained.
He woos them.
Their distrusting and their grumbling hearts
He brings back to Himself
so that they cry out to Him.
And when they do, He provides healing for them.
He shows them mercy.
But notice also one other thing.
God doesn't actually do what the people ask Him to do, does He?
What is it that the people ask for?
What do they want God to do?
Pray, Moses, to the Lord
that He take these serpents away from us.
They're killing us.
Pray that He would make them go away.
Does God do what they ask?
No, apparently people are still getting bitten by these serpents
even after God responds mercifully.
The serpents are still there
but God does provide a way to be healed, doesn't He?
Looking to the bronze serpent held up on the pole.
It's interesting.
What are God's people told to do if they want healing?
They're told to look at the same thing
that is killing them.
God uses the same word here
for the fiery serpent that He tells Moses
to put up on the pole.
The same word as the serpents that are killing them
and He says, look at that in order to be healed.
Now imagine for a minute
that you're one of the Israelites in this situation.
Of all the things in the world,
what is the one thing you are absolutely sick
of looking at at this point?
Snakes, right?
They're all over the place.
First of all, they're everywhere.
I can't get away from them.
And then remember,
what do the snakes remind you of?
Do you remember what they represent?
They're reminding me of,
not of healing and deliverance
and what I'm longing for,
but my sin.
They remind me of the poison,
of distrust.
How I've abandoned and failed Yahweh
over and over.
And Yahweh says,
look at that
and you will live.
I can imagine I'd want to look anywhere else.
It's like sometimes when you have to look away
when you're watching something develop
in front of you
and you've seen too much devastation
and you see that there's more coming
and you think,
I can't bear to watch it.
I know what's about to happen.
You don't want to look at all.
But you have to.
Because people still get bitten.
The serpent is held up
and people trust God
what He says to do
and they look at it
and the toxic venom inside them
is healed and they live, right?
People full of poison
look at the very thing
that is killing them
and are healed.
And Jesus tells us
that we shouldn't miss
the foreshadow of His cross,
of His healing work.
We don't have to wonder about
whether or not we get a picture of Jesus here,
do we?
Are we making this up
in trying to connect this story to Jesus?
Jesus tells us
when He speaks with Nicodemus
in John chapter 3.
This is what Jesus tells Nicodemus.
As Moses lifted up the serpent
in the wilderness,
so must the Son of Man be lifted up
that whoever believes in Him
may have eternal life.
That sounds wonderful, doesn't it?
Eternal life.
The people in the wilderness
didn't even get that.
They were just healed temporarily
from the snake bite.
Eternal life
when the Son of Man is lifted up.
In fact, the next verse is what?
What comes after John 3.15?
That's right.
John 3.16.
Very good.
You're awake.
John 3.16
where God so loves the world
that what He does is send His Son
because everyone needs to believe in Him
and therefore not perish
but have eternal life.
It sounds wonderful.
It sounds exciting
that Jesus will be lifted up
and people will have eternal life.
But what does it mean
that Jesus will be lifted up
as Moses lifted up the snake
in the wilderness?
That's why we started
with understanding the story
in numbers.
And so what we understand
from that story
is that Jesus, like the snake,
is not merely a picture of healing.
Right?
But rather as He is lifted up
on the cross,
He is a picture
of what is killing us.
Isn't He?
That sounds odd.
It was okay to talk about the snake
like that, Will,
but now you've confused me.
Jesus as a picture
of what is killing me?
That's not how I usually think
of Jesus.
Remember that these people
full of poison,
they look at the very thing
that is killing them
and they are healed.
With Jesus,
He Himself
bore our sins
in His body
on the tree
so that what is happening
on the cross
is that Jesus,
yes, He's a Savior,
yes, He's bringing healing,
but Jesus is actually
becoming sin
for us.
Do you remember
how Paul explains
the work of Christ
in 2 Corinthians?
God made Jesus,
the one who knew
no sin,
the one who'd never sinned
and didn't know
what that would be like,
God made Him
to be sin
for us
so that in Him
we might become
the righteousness
of God.
God made His
holy,
undefiled Son
to be
sin.
not just to bear sin,
but to actually
become sin
for us
so that we could
become righteous.
That's how eternal life
happens.
In other words,
on the cross,
Jesus receives
the curse
that sin deserves.
Cursed is
everyone
who is hung
on a tree.
Jesus
hangs on the cross
first
as the sin
that kills us
as an object
of scorn,
of rejection,
of cursing.
And only when we
see Him as such
in our place
can we receive
the healing
that He provides.
He does provide
healing there.
But until
He becomes
our sin,
we don't get
His righteousness.
Right?
Isn't that what
2 Corinthians 5 says?
It's when He
becomes our sin
that we
become
righteous.
So for those of us
who find ourselves
time and again
going back
to the same
sins
rather than
trusting God.
For those of us
who are dying
from the poison
of sin
that runs in our
blood,
from the toxic
venom that comes
from our hearts
and destroys us,
we must remember
that we will be
healed by looking
at what is
killing us.
Not perhaps
where we might
think to look,
but looking
at our sin,
we will be
healed by looking
at our sin
on another.
God has provided
for us a cure
as He did
for the people
in the wilderness.
A Savior
who as He is
lifted up
on the cross,
beaten,
bloodied,
dying,
is not
perhaps
what we would
expect
or even
want
to look at,
but who truly
does save us.
Let me share
with you a picture
of this from a
children's book
called The Watsons
Go to Birmingham.
Sometimes when we
don't think about
things a particular
way,
having a picture
of it,
especially a
children's book
picture,
can be a little
bit helpful.
In this book,
the main character
Kenny is a
ten-year-old boy
who regularly
gets picked on
and teased
and bullied
at school
and particularly
on the bus
this happens
to Kenny.
He writes about
and what I'm about
to read you
that the day
that all of
that stopped
when some new
boys came on
the bus.
Two new boys
who were late
getting on
the bus.
I'll read it to you
as he writes.
It starts with a
little bit of
background for this
day.
Every once in a
while,
Mama would make
me go to Sunday
school with Joey.
Even though it
was just a bunch
of singing and
coloring and
coloring books
and listening
to Mrs. Davidson,
I had learned
one thing.
I learned about
getting saved.
I learned how
someone could
come to you
when you were
feeling real,
real bad
and could take
all of your
problems away
and make you
feel better.
I learned that
the person who
saved you,
your personal
saver,
was sent by God
to protect you
and help you
out.
Now he takes us
to the day
that his trouble
stopped.
When the bigger
one of the two
boys who got
on the bus
late said to
the driver in
a real down
south accent,
thank you for
stopping,
sir.
I knew right
away.
I knew that
God had finally
gotten sick of
me being teased
and picked on
all the time.
As I looked at
this new boy
with the great
big smile and
the jacket with
holes in the
sleeves and the
raggedy tennis
shoes and the
tore up blue
jeans, I knew
who he was.
Maybe he didn't
live a million
years ago and
maybe he didn't
have a beard
and long hair
and maybe he
wasn't born
under a star,
but I knew
anyway.
I knew God
had finally
sent me some
help.
I knew God
had finally
sent me my
personal saver.
Not what Kenny
expected his
personal saver
to look like.
He says,
I was kind of
surprised that
God would send
a saver to me
in such raggedy
clothes.
Not what he
expected.
Perhaps he
expected someone
strong, someone
dashingly dressed,
someone noble to
come in and be
his saver.
But he knew him
when he saw him,
didn't he?
Someone who
looked like
everything he
felt and feared
he was as the
kid who got
picked on.
Outcast.
Tattered.
Shameful.
Worthy of
scorn.
Someone else
was going to be
the butt of all
the jokes.
The one who
suffered what
Kenny had
endured for so
long.
And Kenny
would be
saved.
So at the
cross, we
find healing.
A personal
saver,
Kenny would
call it,
when we
look at
our sin
on another.
When we
look to the
cross and
see Jesus,
this very
unusual kind
of king,
suffering shame,
rejection,
punishment,
that we know
are rightfully
ours.
When we see
him actually
become sin
for us.
So we
look to the
cross over
and over
because of
that perplexing
reality that
God doesn't
just take all
of our sin
away as we
often wish
he would.
He instead
provides a way
to be healed
from the sin
that keeps
plaguing us,
doesn't he?
It's just like
with his people,
isn't it?
Why not just
remove all the
snakes, God?
That would be
easy.
I've got a way
out of this
mess.
Just get rid
of the snakes.
Well, the Bible
doesn't tell us
all the reasons
why he doesn't
do that in this
story, but I
think at least
one is quite
apparent.
What happens
to God's people
over and over
and over when
his discipline
is removed?
They forget
the danger of
their sin,
don't they?
And in their
discontentment
with God and
how he cares
for them,
they go seeking
fulfillment in
other places
over and over.
And God wants
to teach us
to look trustingly
to him.
So he says,
if you want
to survive,
you are going
to have to
keep trusting
me,
seeing your sin
for what it is
and looking to
me for healing.
I'm convinced
that's at least
part of why
we still
struggle against
sin.
Because God
knows what we
need every
day is to
be looking
away from
ourselves
and to
him,
depending not
on what we
think is best,
but trusting
him to
heal us
from the
poison that
is running
through us.
So practically
speaking,
what happens
when we look
to Jesus
over and
over?
We talk a lot
around here
about experiencing
his grace
every moment,
right?
of our
constant needs
being constantly
met in
Christ.
You've heard
preachers like
me say things
like,
preach the
gospel to
yourself every
day.
You need to
remember it
all the time.
What happens
when we do?
I think at
least two
things happen
constantly.
The first is
that looking
to Jesus
helps me
hate my
sin.
As opposed
to my
natural tendency
to minimize
or ignore
or downplay
my sin,
I have to
look at it
head on.
I have to
face my
distrust of
God for
what it
really is
when I
see what
it cost
Jesus.
When I
look at
Him and
see the
shame
and the
disgrace
and the
pain my
Savior took
on the
cross.
And so I
hate the
sin.
But at the
same time,
I experience
freedom from
that shame
and disgrace
and pain
that I
feel as I
experience
God's
forgiveness.
As I see
someone else
become my
sin so that
I will never
be defined
by it.
I'm now
free and
when He
becomes my
sin, I
become His
righteousness.
The famous
Scottish
pastor Robert
Murray McShane
talked about
it this way.
I love
this quote.
He says,
For every
look at
yourself,
take ten
looks at
Christ.
He is
altogether
lovely.
Such
infinite
majesty and
yet such
meekness and
grace and
all for
sinners,
even the
chief.
He says,
live much
in the
smiles of
God.
I think
that's what
he meant
by preach
the gospel
to yourself
every day.
That's what
he's saying.
Live much
in the
smiles of
God.
Bask
in his
beams.
Feel his
all-seeing
eyes settled
on you in
love and
repose in
his almighty
arms.
Let your
soul be
filled with
a heart
ravishing
sense of
the sweetness
and excellency
of Christ
and all
that is in
him.
Let the
Holy Spirit
fill every
chamber of
your heart
and so
there will
be no
room for
folly
or the
world
or Satan
or the
flesh.
For
every look
at yourself
take ten
looks at
Christ.
He says
when you
see your
sin the
poison and
of your
anger
of your
lust
of your
discontent
of your
self-focused
self-obsessed
life.
Look quickly
to him
who has
taken your
sin.
See Jesus
actually
becoming
anger
anger and
lust and
discontent
and self-obsession
for you
so that you
can be filled
with him
and leave
no room
for sin
in your
heart
that you
hate it
and there's
no room
for it.
You then
experience
the freedom
of God's
forgiveness
and can
rest
in your
father's
arms.
That's the
good news
of the
gospel.
It's the
glorious reality
of preaching
the gospel
to yourself
every day.
Every time
you see
the sin
that is
killing you
looking at
it in
Jesus
and remembering
that you
are free
and righteous
in him
because he
has taken
your sin.
Can I push
one more step
with this
while we're
on it?
Would you
be willing
to consider
this morning
the more
difficult
and painful
task
of doing
the same
with the
sin of
your
brothers
and
sisters?
For every
look at
their sin
take ten
looks at
Christ.
You see
Christ
became
their
careless
words
their
unloving
spirit
their
prideful
condescension
their
abusive
actions
which have
hurt you
so deeply
and realize
as you
look at
Christ
ten
times
that if
God
has
forgiven
them
at the
cross
you
must
too.
Other
people
must
get to
live
in the
same
freedom
that you
are
enjoying
in
Christ.
It's a
little bit
harder
isn't it?
I don't
like that
application
so much
pastor
come on
what about
preach the
gospel
to myself?
This is
preach the
gospel
to yourself
it's the
gospel
that applies
not just
to you
but to
all of
your
brothers
and
sisters
who are
hidden
in
Christ.
He's
paid
for
their
sins
he's
forgiven
their
sins
too.
It's
how the
gospel
transforms
us
in our
relationships
because
not only
has
Jesus
become
my
sin
in
my
place
he's
become
their
sin
in
their
place
hasn't
he?
he's
become
your
sin
in
your
place
too.
Now
remember
I'm
not
saying
you
quit
hating
that
sin
or
all
its
painful
effects
disappear
and
shouldn't
be
dealt
with
not
at
all
seeing
our
sin
on
Jesus
makes
us
hate
the
sin
all
the
more
but
it
also
calls
us
and
drives
us
to
forgive
sins
that
we
could
otherwise
never
imagine
forgiving
and
the
freedom
of
Christ
is
for
you
and
for
them
are
you
expressing
the
grace
that
you're
experiencing
for
yourself
one
last
thing
as we
close
this
morning
I
hope
you're
seeing
the
beauty
of yet
another
facet
of the
cross
of
Christ
today
but
I
think
lots
of
times
this
can
remain
very
theoretical
look
to
Jesus
preach
the
gospel
to
yourself
every
day
that
sounds
so
nice
doesn't
it
you
know
preacher
just
say
that
thing
I
don't
know
what
you're
talking
about
but
sure
that
sounded
really
spiritual
when
you
said
that
I'm
going
to
preach
the
gospel
to
myself
every
day
I'll
try
that
let
me
tell
you
I
hope
very
practically
what
it
looks
like
in
my
life
to
try
to
help
us
put
some
legs
on
this
I'll
just
use
one
story
and
we'll
be
through
a
couple
weeks
ago
my
wife
joined
many
of
you
on
Southwood's
women's
retreat
which
was
fantastic
and
meant
for
me
that
I
got
an
entire
weekend
just
me
and
my
three
girls
whom
I
love
dearly
I
was
looking
forward
to
that
time
together
and
probably
to
be
honest
a
chance
to
prove
to
myself
what
an
amazing
stop
laughing
at
me
I
am
amazing
I
wanted
God
to
give
us
a
special
weekend
together
that's
what
I
expected
by
the
end
of
Friday
which
in
fairness
to
me
was
a
day
off
of
school
I
mean
come
on
really
a
full
day
by
the
end
of
Friday
I
was
impatient
my
girls
weren't
giving me
the
space
to do
what
was
on
my
schedule
they
were
responding
disrespectfully
to
me
and
the
volume
of
my
voice
was
getting
louder
and
louder
with
every
interaction
I
was
discontent
I
wasn't
trusting
God
that
he
knew
what
was
best
for
the
weekend
and
what
it
should
look
like
I
had
my
own
plans
and
my
kids
weren't
cooperating
with
them
I
was
the
first
parent
ever
to
find
himself
in
that
position
before
and
I
lost
my
temper
I
yelled
at
them
I
hurt
them
I
could
see
it
in
their
eyes
that
night
I'd
like to
say
it's
the
first
time
that's
ever
happened
but
I
don't
want
to
add
lying
to
my
rap
sheet
for
the
weekend
but
I
was
a
failure
again
the
same
sin
that
I
hated
and
after
I
got
them
to
bed
that
night
I
sat
down
and
I
started
going
through
all
the
excuses
in
my
head
for
how
I
treated
them
why
I
was
still
a
great
dad
in
that
moment
but
pretty
quickly
I
saw
the
horror
of
my
sin
I
felt
like
such
a
miserable
failure
somebody
else
in
here
has
felt
that
way
before
I
think
I
was
just
ashamed
remember
this
was
my
dad
of
the
year
weekend
I
didn't
get
many
chances
like
this
I
built
myself
up
I
was
going
to
prove
it
to
myself
if
nobody
else
and
I
blew
it
I
was
so
disappointed
in
myself
I
deserved
none
of
God's
love
I
hated
myself
for
my
sin
and that
night
I had
to preach
the gospel
to myself
I had
to see
Jesus
on the
cross
becoming
a self
centered
dad
who yells
at his
kids
again
I
had
to see
what
happened
to him
because
of
that
sin
that
was
mine
and
then I
had to
see
God
forgiving
and
loving
me
right
there
because
of
Jesus
so
that
I
could
be
free
and
not
be
and
not
take
what
Jesus
was
taking
for
me
and
then
to
make
it
worse
as I
plotted
how to
teach
my girls
to be
respectful
the next
day
I
had
to
see
him
do
the
same
for
their
sin
I
had to
wait
until
the next
morning
to
apologize
to
my
girls
I
tell
you
if
you're
ever
hurting
in
your
sin
there
there's
very
few
balms
of
the
gospel
like
the
forgiveness
of
a
child
for
a
parent
to
have
your
child
forgive
you
to
show
the
love
of
God
to
you
we
agreed
that
they
still
needed
to be
disciplined
for
their
disrespect
but
I
asked
them
in the
same
moment
to help
me
remember
not to
yell at
them
but to
show them
God's
patient
love
and we
all were
free to
love each
other as
righteous
not in
how we
performed
on
Friday
but in
Christ
and in
how much
he
loved
us
which
is
much
more
special
than
that
of
the
year
weekend
I
had
planned
for
where
do
you
need
to
preach
the
gospel
to
yourself
what
sin
that
is
poisoning
your
heart
do
you
need
to
see
Jesus
on
the
cross
becoming
for
you
it's
a
painful
place
to
look
but
the
healing
you
find
in
the
place
of
the
shame
and
disgrace
you
deserve
is so
sweet
that
it
sets
you
free
and
sets
others
free
as
well
let me
pray
with
me
father
we are
gathered
here
as
a
community
of
great
sinners
we are
so
thankful
for
our
great
savior
bearing
shame
and
scoffing
rude
in
my
place
condemned
he
stood
I
deserve
to be
condemned
like
that
and he
didn't
he
sealed
my
pardon
with
his
blood
hallelujah
what a
savior
thank you
Jesus
that you
were lifted
up
to die
that you
cried
it is
finished
that all
of our
sin was
taken care
of
that you
became
sin
for us
might that
change our
hearts
give us
great joy
give us
great forgiveness
for others
make us
grateful for
how much you
love us
we ask it in
Jesus name
amen
