Partiality & Glory/Judgement & Mercy

Hey, good morning. My name is Dominic. If you're a guest with us, we're glad that you're here. Miss your family. Good morning. Good to see you last year. I had the privilege of speaking a couple different times at a handful of different places and then use and one of them. I had to go to a kind of a pre-event and got to meet some people hang out and talk and then the next day with the actual like speaking engagement. And after I got up and spoke got there, and rock with some of the same people and this one guy came up to me and he said oh he was I owe you an apology and I was like why I like what happened to you yesterday when I met you he was I just a thought you were like some kid. Is that and I said, oh no, no problem. And he goes with thanks for your word. Thanks for that. And I just want to say I'm sorry. I didn't even know like it's okay, and I just I thought you'd look different physically like older and maybe some other things and you guys know me, you know, like if I've heard that once I've heard that probably like ten thousand times. It happens a lot in the last week. I was having lunch with a friend and he was telling me about a conference that he was out and help someone stood up to speak and you tell me how this doctor talked about this stuff in that stuff. And and I said, oh what what what kind of doctor was she and he said, all right. I see what kind of doctor was he and he said well, she was trained and studied in this and I'll bounce house really embarrassed. You know, they made an Audi. I'm embarrassed. Like why am I mind when he says Doctor go out and I could say he lichen I've said she this morning we're going to open up again. The Book of James and James chapter 2 James is going to be talking to us and teaching to us about partiality. About making judgments based upon external factors or making judgments and sewing partiality or favoritism based upon external factors and also internal factors external factors meeting way that we judge others but internal factors meaning based upon how we make those judgments what we expect of others what in our minds in our hearts we have set up as these different paradigms or structures or systems of the way things should be the way people should be the way things are aren't based upon again partiality favoritism. So if you have your Bible this morning, we're going to continue in this series of of James called James the challenge of faith in this morning with James is going to express to us an invite us to think about and wrestle with is that partiality favoritism. It is a very practical challenge of Faith. I'll be the first to admit mean based upon that statement made over lunch with my friend. I live with partiality. I live and I almost feel naturally wired to be a person who judges and makes judgments and go to relate to that don't make you raise your hand, but I just I know that about myself until you've been studying us. This week was really really convicting really humbling an invoice healthy actually wrestle with some things the James chapter 2 starting read 1 through 13. If you'd read it with me should be up above it says this my brother's show no partiality as you hold the faith in our Lord Jesus Christ the lord of Glory.

For if a man wearing a gold ring and find clothing comes into your assembly and a poor man in shabby clothing also comes in and if you pay attention to the one who wears the fine clothing and say you sit here in a good place. Why you say to the poor man, you stand over there or sit down at my feet have you not been made distinctions among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts. Listen, my beloved brothers and sisters has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and Heirs of the Kingdom, which he has promised to those who love him but you have Dishonored the poor man are not the rich the ones who oppress you and the ones who dragged you into court. Are they not the ones who blaspheme The Honorable Name by which you were called? If you really fulfill the Royal law according to the scripture, you shall love your neighbor as yourself you're doing well, but if you show partiality you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as a transgressor for whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become accountable for all of it for he who said do not commit adultery also said do not murder if you do not commit adultery, but do murder you have become a transgressor of the law. So speak and so act as those who are to be judged under the law of Liberty for judgment is without Mercy to one who I show No, Mercy Mercy triumphs over judgement. It's funny how they read that this morning even look up at the front row. We're not a very partial Community are we know no one ever sits up here and I was thinking about that honestly all week on this is like a cat.

Anyways, I have just get over that I had to put it out there. So we're doing all right. Everybody know James starts off right out the gate my brother's my brothers and sisters family family of God show. No partiality Oregon favoritism as you hold the faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the lord of Glory that's his key at the key statement for us today, but we're not going to hold on to it for a second cuz I'm ready to come back to it. We got to look at some things to really understand. I think with James is talking about even in that intro sentence of chapter to hear but James goes on in verses 2 through 4 to give us really this kind of a case study. If you will ask, call it giving this description of me says that if somebody Rich if somebody wealthy of somebody who died all external appearances look like they're doing well and they're doing good. He was why is it that you tell them? Hey come and sit up in his front seats here. For someone who walks in he looks like maybe they fallen on hard times and maybe not as clean maybe smells a little different looks different than what you'd expect. Someone walking in their Community looks like why is it that you tell them I'll just stand off to the side stand here sit there just somewhere out of the way, please or even just sit at my feet and if you got this culture They were open-toed sandals and they walked in roads that animals walked in and their feet were super super dirty. invitations out here just to sit at my dirty stinky feet that's in my mind the value of the worth that you have here as you walk in when you don't look put together with your looking less than what I'd expect someone to be a follower of Christ or engaging in synagogue conversations to look like She look good as I expected as I want him sit here. If not over there, please cuz I'm trying to do some stuff. We're trying to do some stuff here this case study thing. I want to point out. inverse for he says so have you not been made distinctions among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts again, what we're talking about today is external distinctions that are made this partiality or favoritism based upon the externals of those that we see But when he talks about it being a judgment that we're making based on our evil thoughts again really here.

One thing to consider as well the case study that he gives us hears about rich and poor. But everything he's talking about is far more than rich and poor. What is really talking about today is honor in about Glory? The reason why I can say that is this James was on in verse 5 and says listen, my beloved Brothers has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and Heirs of the Kingdom. What James is saying here? Is that often people who have very little they actually learn to honor and trust God in incredible ways. Because they need to they have too often in ways that those who have much never learn to never need to. And James says which of those is more honorable. Which is a greater life of faith in the Greater Life Of Trust, which one should be honored more. He goes on then and he says and are they not Heirs of the Kingdom, which he has promised to those who love him. Again. James is talking about Heirs of the Kingdom. He's talking about honor and receiving ultimate. These people are rich They just don't get their inheritance yet. They might be poor here on Earth, but they're rich in faith the rich in love the rich in their dependence upon God in the words of Jesus James's brother. I think James is probably was thinking about maybe The Sermon on the Mount where I fit towards the end of it. Jesus actually said don't store up for yourselves Treasures on Earth, but store up for yourselves Treasures. We're in heaven. I think James again is inviting us to think about which of those is more honorable really a life live treasuring everything here on Earth or life in what you believe in, you know, and you live by faith that my inheritance is to come. Which should be in the church really honor? Which should be more valued which should be thought of as a a life more esteemed?

James closes the section by saying but you can't dishonor the poor man are not the rich the ones who oppress you in the ones who dragged you into court. Are they not the ones who blaspheme The Honorable Name by which you were called don't understand that we've got understand little bit of context to what was going on River James is we believe the brother or the half brother of Jesus. He's passed during the church in Jerusalem Church, predominately of Jews bits and Gentiles have begun to come in. This is only 10 years ich after Jesus's death and Resurrection. This is the early church there their they're potentially in the surrounding this area where they're being persecuted impressed on because it's for century and they've chosen many than add you as Jews to to follow Jesus and is using Gentiles are doing life together again, which wasn't a common things. There's reason for her to be looked at me weird there. And what was happening in the reason why he gives us the case study of this rich and the poor this example is because there were those in the community who are coming in who aren't even followers of Jesus, but they were coming and they were holding still a place of prominence inside the church think if you will have the way that the the people in during Jesus's Day thought about the synagogue in the temple, right? They turned into a market is all kinds of stuff going on and they're there in the first century. They're still dealing with that does rich people coming in. They're not even Christ followers and outside of a community. Guess what they're doing. They're acting is non-price Wild Horse there seizing land from poor people in there taking it. They're hiring people who are who they meet actually in the church Community for Christ followers, but they're not paying them a fair wage. And so outside of the church outside of the community there, they're not honorable respected at all or not living like Christ what they step into the church and what happens people see them and go after the kid seat. Why Because they're showing partiality they're showing favoritism. And that's why James says aren't these rich people who are inside your community, aren't they the ones who dragged you into court when you can't even defend yourself? Why would you give him a seat of Honor based upon worldly factors? The richness of opposed to their faith their honor of Jesus wealth is not wrong wealth is not bad and James here is not saying that all rich people are bad. James is saying these rich people though, we're bad and the church was acting foolishly when they were engaged or confronted with rich people because the church was doing with the church ought not do the church in this case was acting like the world showing partiality and getting people again special privilege based upon external things as opposed to their faith as opposed to their heart as opposed to the amount of trust. They live in before the Living God King Jesus, who is the Lord of Glory new track with me so far I want to give you a little picture Logan Dimond. I think really summarizes kind of the maybe the key issue at heart and at play here under the right hand side. You have the kingdom of God Circle the kingdom of God Circle described just this way that it's it's g with Jesus is alive. He's raining. He's ruling right now. He's King of Kings. He's Lord of lords and gods people are united right now together and they will be United together forever someday under his loving lordship. That's that's kind of a simple definition of his kingdom right there. And on the left hand side, you have the world. That's where we are today. And in the world, we're living in a mixed cultures and Nations that don't submit to King Jesus. They don't believe that the right hand Circle even exist until I have different values different priorities different beliefs by which they live by and I know the colors not showing up real great, but you see in the middle of the church.

The church belongs to the right hand side the church belongs to the Eternal kingdom of God both now and for all eternity. But we do have to live life in this world today.

God's people are called by grace to live by faith in the present reality of the world. But with our eyes fixed and focused on the reality of the Kingdom. And not only that were called to help bring or usher in often as we were due to the realities of the Kingdom today here now in the present. Until James is getting on them.

And you got on my heart this this week cuz I read to you going to church not look like the world. The partiality that exists out in the world fine, that's the world that the world knows. No better the world has no different way of doing anything other than to judge by externals other than to separate and segregate and do all that judgmental stuff. That. That's the what the world does. but the church the church has a different head. The church has a different story that is a part of the church has a different reality that it's been saved and redeemed into and so the church not look like the world. Jamaican Jesus's words were in the world, but we're not of it.

So what's the what's the real issue? What's the real problem again on one hand? It's at the church was acting like the world but on the other hand are they spoke about about honor and Glory doesn't just about rich and poor because if you think about it, we make external distinctions in the world and even sometimes in our own hearts in the church based upon many other different things not just rich and poor but male and female. Color of skin education levels where it where do you live, right? This is about honor and Glory. And what James is saying is that when we make distinctions based upon external factors were judging people were showing partiality was showing favoritism through a worldly lens and that dishonors people and as he says denver7 are they not the ones who blaspheme The Honorable Name by which you were called non-ira dishonoring the poor the people he says, we're also dishonoring God. Just honoring the name of Jesus Christ. Do the origin of partiality? It's just one of two things. It's either a craving for human Glory. Or we are partial to something and someone out of fear. We show partiality out of a craving for our own human glory in this way. We show partiality to the Ritz to the powerful that I have two people of the same skin color as us. This people have certain things that that we like what we're doing is we're actually hoping to find favor with them in order that we might belong to them in order that they might do something for us to see that why why why were these people in that showing partiality those rich people they were hoping that they might then outside of church during the week, like maybe get hired by them. Not even realizing that these people again, we're going to pay Fair wage hang out and have lunch with that make you associate with them. So we do that if it's based out of again, he says evil intentions if it's humid craving for our own human Glory or it's based out of fear. How does fear play into my partiality you show partiality to those that you believe can make you feel safe or safer? What about racism? At the heart in the corner of racism. It's it's really about fear. I'm going to be more partial to those who look like me have the same skin color as me have the same cultural understanding as me why because I feel safe there. If I let someone else with a different skin color different cultural background if I let them come in and be a mix my community or or just be in this area. I don't know what they're going to do cuz they look different than me. That makes me afraid. So I'm going to lobby and do whatever I can just everybody looks like me. Let's make this thing as homogeneous as possible cuz that's comfortable. That's safe. They're not even talking about their heart. Do it honor God. Do they live by faith? You looking merely at the externals and going? No. Thank you.

Didn't just about rich and poor. This is not honoring people that God honors them. This is about viewing people who did God use them. This is far more than again the case study that James laid before us. It's about honor and Glory. It's about the motivations and intentions of our hearts the way that review and that we see people

And again both the craving for human Glory or fear which leads partiality both of those are rooted in a desire that we personally have something to gain. The focus really Bennett on my glory. My honor my advantage. And James again is singing the world the world. That's the way the world runs. That's what it's all based on. The church and those who follow the faith of the Lord Jesus Christ. We've been invited to a much different story. A far more beautiful far grander story than to live according to those things.

Want to remind you of James chapter 1 verse 27 and if you were here last week, I'd encourage you to go listen to Joel teach that that whole portion but James chapter 127 James writes this and he says religion that is pure and undefiled before God. The father is this to visit orphans and widows in their Affliction and to keep oneself unstained from the world. To keep oneself unstained from the world again. I think what James is saying here is that unfortunately in his own church in his own Community of Christ followers, they were being stained by the world and they were showing this type of partiality this type of favoritism. And so I think he's he's piggybacking falling right off that and so I present that verse to say James. How do we do that? How do we keep especially in this is in the context of this deal with partiality with favoritism James? How do we keep ourselves unstained from the world game says this he says if you really fulfill the Royal law going to the scripture you shall love your neighbor as yourself you're doing well. If you show partiality you're committing sin and are convicted by the laws transgressors keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become accountable for all of it for you said you're not commit adultery also said do not murder. If you do not commit adultery, but do murder you have become a transgressor of the law. I think James brings in this idea or the troops of of the law of the not committing adultery and in not committing murder to show us on one hand like everything about those on those are the Ten Commandments, right? Those are pretty big deals. You say James bring those into light to say favoritism is just as big of a deal. We might not think it is cuz it didn't make the Ten Commandments but when we live showing partiality when we live showing favoritism when we live judging others based upon externals, he's saying it it's it's it's just about equal Jesus always doing that. Jesus was always extending the boundary of the way people understood the law. Jesus said, okay, that's that's a whole different thing now, isn't it James? I think again is elevating partiality favoritism to that level to say this is really paying that really hurts. God just as much as these other things are why because it's a dishonoring it's a disa grading of people with ottoman is a dishonoring of God in the way. He's designed and created them. He says instead, how are we to live live fulfilling the Royal law the great scripture that says you shall love your neighbor as yourself and you are doing well. James is quoting this again as a good Jew you in in in a minute, Jewish church. I'm from Leviticus. I want to return there and read for you. Look at a kiss. I 19 chunkier. Just going to show this in the context of even this this command of love your neighbor as yourself Leviticus 19 verse 9 start there at this when you reap the Harvest of your land, you shall not reap your field right up to it Edge North show you gather the gleanings after your Harvest and you shall not strip your Vineyard bear neither show you gather the following groups of your Vineyard. You should leave them for the poor and for the sojourners and I'm telling you to do this because I'm the Lord your God. You shall not steal. You shall not deal falsely. You shall not lie to one another you shall not swear by name falsely. And so profane the name of your God. I Am Lord You shall not oppress your neighbor or or Rob him the wages of a hired servant shall not remain with you all night until the morning. You shall not curse the deaf or put a stumbling block before the blind you shall but but you shall fear your God because I am the Lord your God. You shall do no Injustice in court. You shall not be partial to the poor or defer to the Great. But in righteousness shall you judge your neighbor you shall not go around as a slander among your people and you shall not stand up against the life of your neighbor. I am the Lord You shall not hate your brother in your heart and you shall not but you choose me but you shall reason frankly with your neighbor lets you and curse in because of him Verse 18, you shall not take Vengeance or bear a grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord.

The whole chunk of that whole chapter brought up all the keywords that James was talking about dishonoring Penn Fair wages. How are you hiring people? How are you treating people ultimately say know that the way to view things in people in light of just the external the system structures that the world operates in is to submit to surrender to live our lives really believing in the truth in the reality of this Royal law. Love your neighbor as yourself and James Goes further.

James and again talks about all of us having broken the law he who says I've never committed adultery or than murder, but if you do commit adultery, but you're not committed murder. Well, haven't you transgress the law would they just kind of thing at the light comes through the glass?

Glass and should be clear glass should be solid glass should be one piece bathing a windshield. You've got one Dent one thing in your windshield. Is it still a perfect Christine windshield know that you wouldn't even emergency clear over here, but over here, it's a little bit jacked up. James's ain't no that whole thing that has been jacked up a good picture. The stirring the pot here again James does that he talks divatox honest. He talks very poignant to the rallies and two things of our hearts. Becomes down and he says that soon burst well because they're 4 or so speak and act as those who are to be judged under the law of Liberty. Or judgment is without Mercy to one who has shown no mercy, but Mercy triumphs over judgement. What is James saying there? You saying these verses that began all of us have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God Romans 3:23. He's also saying the gift of God is life to Christ. Jesus our lord the free gift again Romans 3:24. He saying if we understand if we live in that story the reality of of looking at the fact that we are all going to be judged someday. Maybe judge by who the righteous judge. The only one who actually truly has the right to judge God the one who set the Royal off the one who is the Lord Of Glory. We're all going to stand before him someday and the way he judges us is not unjust, but the way he judges us is based in Mercy.

Going to give you the definition of mercy. That has been helpful for me. You think of Mercy in a coffin Christian Reed we say that it's it's not getting what we deserve right? We hadn't heard that Mercy is just it's just not getting what you deserve Mercy more fully is this way does Mercy is the proactive display of God's love to the guilty its compassion extended to those in need the proactive display of God's love to the guilty compassion extended to those in need. In this scenario, in this case this case study that James gave us of the rich and the poor in the way. They treated him if the church sees someone that's in need what Mercy would say according to James is not you judge them. And you say I'll go sit over there, but Mercy would say I have love for you and I want to proactively move towards you the way that God has loved me and proactively move towards me. And when I see you if I see that you're in need I can imagine to judge you and set you to decide but true Mercy says I'm going to enter in to your pain with you if it's compassionate suffering with someone because we recognize their need to see that. That's why James bring this down to this issue of mercy and of judgment in the fact that Mercy triumphs over judgement because when we live as the world and we view People based upon externals, we're judging we're judging on things that are not right. They're not Justa not true against it's based upon our own sinful thoughts James says which are often align with what our agenda me being the best. And so I want people who look like me to be up front because I make me feel good. I want those four different me to know if you are nowhere near the front or the action cuz that'll make me feel good and safe to Chicken James is calling what are the intentions of our heart as we live out this life following Jesus in the world?

Mercy Mercy triumphs over judgement in Christ Jesus there is Mercy that that's the good news. I miss you. I think this is really important for us as we begin to enter into the season even of Lenten of Southwest. Hope as we begin to talk more about what does it look like for us to become a safe families church. We have families that have need are we sitting here going? Well, why do they have meat? What did they do to get in that situation? I don't have that much you need I got my education. I got my stuff together. Maybe they did to that. They wouldn't need a safe family. Where do we hear? There's need a child needs us a family. And compassion entering in and suffering with moved us to this place that says, oh my goodness. There are people created in the image in the likeness of God the Lord Of Glory who have his love in him have his breath in them his life in them. Mercy not judgment, but mercy compels me to see them in their need to go toward them and to love them.

Have you talked about compassion Southwest in the in the health clinic and we talked about Arena support and care for those in our neighborhood who need extra help with basic health care because we sit there and go out. Well, I got my job. And so I got all my stuff and I need as a 401k. My deductible is only like 10 bucks. My plan is sweet. Or is it Marcy? Is it compassion that says oh my goodness there people in this world who have come on Hard Times They maybe they were going to be don't know the story. But in our mind when we hear these things Southwest. Hope safe families be the bridge talk about Ricky racial reconciliation. Everyday life is our first spot to go towards this place of judgment based upon externals. What do we remember? Do? We remember the grace of God given to us in Jesus Christ that while we were yet sinners while we were yet the ones that didn't look the part Christ came and died for us God proactively move towards us in love first. He came and he's suffered with us the extended compassion when we were in our time of need. Romans 5:6 to 11. Let me read that this really is capturing of of Mercy.

Romans chapter 5 starting in verse 6 4 while we were weak while we were in need at the right time Christ died for the ungodly me. When will scarcely die for a righteous person though? Perhaps for a person who would a good person one would dare to die, but God shows his love for us in that while we were still Sinners while we were in our need or we can our Brokenness with no way out something to wear with way. We got there. God dammit in a square we got there. Sometimes it just man is crazy but Christ died for us. Since therefore we have now been justified by his blood by his suffering in entering and suffering. Mist of our need much more. Shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. We're while we were enemies. Y'all can we make judgments based upon external do we set people by their enemies again trying to protect ourselves from them based upon. External things while we were enemies. We were reconciled to God by the death of his son again God enters into the midst of the suffering with us or US to save us in our need Much more now that we are reconciled shall we be saved by his life more than that. We also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ through whom we have now received reconciliation. Leila's life of rejoicing in the glory and in the honor of God Alone That's why I said we come back to his coming back to verse 1 and that's where James is my brother's my sister's family of God show. No partiality show. No favoritism shown of sexism show. No racism show know any of those isms partially leads to with all those shown none of that as you hold the faith in our Lord Jesus Christ the lord of Glory. And he's really focusing all throughout this passage. And he's talked a couple times at the Royal law which is what the king's law. He's talking about Royal here. He's talking about Glory Glory again in Old Testament, but the word it tell us about weight of Kubota and sometimes I thought you can still weird but the Greek word is its doxa and Dachshund we talked about Glory. It's having a good opinion or a high opinion of someone that when you think of them you automatically come to this place of having a good or a high opinion with James is saying is if we do Jesus as the Lord Of Glory if we truly believe he's died for his left breast has died for us. He's resurrected. He is the Lord Of Glory then we think of him. We have the highest good opinion of him more so than anything else in the world and Lori do I hold myself of the highest in vit opinion and therefore that I judge people have partiality based upon my protection, or do I hold Jesus Christ? Jesus as the Christ Jesus as the Lord Jesus as the King Jesus as the one sitting on the seat the Throne of glory and I think of him and I can't help because what he's done for me think of him in the highest esteem the place of highest honor and highest Glory, you know, what that does? humbles me

remember who I was before Christ found me. And I remember who I am even in the process of Christ saving me. And then I look around at the world. And what kind of what do I do? I can't help but view them in the same light. Those just like me in need of God's grace God's mercy. Your skin color doesn't matter your socioeconomic doesn't matter. Your race doesn't matter. He's other isms that we step don't really matter. It's about the heart. What what is honoring to God? What gives God the honest Glory as I look at people and treat people? I'll close with this. August in once said that once we settle the issue of Glory when issue Gloria settled all conflicts will be settled.

and the issue of Glory Miho Jesus as the most glorious one the one who is to receive all the honor all the glory the one who have the highest opinion of once that settled in her heart on her grocery Jesus. All the conflicts will be settled. The ones that we have internally. And the ones that play out extra night.

Now I really close here's this worship team if you want to come up again.

I want to read for you some 99 and let this be the place that we go. to worship It says the Lord Reigns. Let people's tremble. The Lord sits enthroned upon the cherubim let the earthquake. The Lord is great in Zion. He is exalted over all other people's. Let them praise your great and awesome Name Lord. Holy is he?

The King Jesus is in his mighty loves Justice. You have established Equity. You have executed Justice and righteousness in Jacob.

Exalt the Lord Our God worship at his footstool. For he is holy. Holy is he

or this morning I'm humbled again as I read through and consider changes words.

The God you are rich in Mercy. Your abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.

God that you don't judge us based upon externals. You don't judge us even based upon our own doings our failings. But you look at us through the lens of what your son Jesus Christ has done or not done.

But that's what it means when we're in tries to that God you look at us in Christ in you you you you do judge. You do make a distinction, but you say that we're holy righteous because of what your son Jesus has done.

Golden Light of that Mercy might have that Grace in light of your I Found Love. Would you continue to transform us? Transforms our hearts transform our minds transform us God transform our judgments our eyes the way that we see people that would the things that we've set out the structures in our own hearts and Minds already transformed. So the Align with your truth with your love with your mercy. So that we honor people him by doing so on are you? Jesus thank you. Trix tending the love of God the Father to us in our time of need. Thank you for coming and suffering along with us. Thank you for this table this morning that reminds us. Are you are a god of Mercy my god of compassion the god of love. Thank you for your body broken your blood shed for the Forgiveness of our sins for the renewal of our hearts our minds of Our Lives this table with no identity that we have because of it that sends us out into the world as your ambassadors your representatives the live as light into the midst of the Injustice is of Darkness delivered love in the midst of the places that are confining and constraining people because of the judgments in the partiality that exist in our world. Got you walk with you what we live for you. Maybe be in this world, but not of it would be the people of this table the people of redemption the people of Life In Christ who love Richly as you've left us Jesus let that start of my own heart. Amen.
