2 Timothy 1:1-2 Finish the Mission

Because without a big theology of God’s grace we won’t worship God as we should, and we won’t have an urgency to finish the mission God has entrusted to us and take the grace of God to a lost and dying world that will perish without Christ because there is no other name under heaven by which men must be saved (Acts 4:12).

Paul begins 2 Timothy like he does all his letters. With a greeting. And this greeting tells us the number one thing on Paul’s mind as he writes this letter.

5500

Overview/Context

2 Timothy 1:1-2 “Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God according to the promise of the life that is in Christ Jesus, To Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Paul is writing a letter to Timothy.

Timothy is a pastor in Ephesus.

Paul calls him my beloved child. In 1 Timothy, which was written 3-5 years before Paul wrote 2 Timothy, Paul calls him my true child in the faith.

He was Paul’s spiritual son. Someone Paul took under his wing to disciple, pour into, and do ministry with to serve Christ and build up the church.

Timothy helped Paul write five books of the Bible: 2 Corinthians, Philippians, Colossians, and 1 & 2 Thessalonians.

And Paul trusted him with important ministry all over the Roman empire. He sent Timothy to Macedonia, Corinth, Philippi, and of course, Ephesus to preach the gospel and build up healthy churches.

In fact, in Philippians 2:20 Paul says he has no one like him.

And Paul starts off this letter to his son and friend, Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God.

And the purpose of God’s will and Paul’s apostleship, is according to, or another way to translate that is for the sake of, the promise of life that is in Christ Jesus.

Now it can be easy to read these words and move on into the meat of the book assuming that this is nothing more than a perfunctory greeting.

But if you know the context around Paul writing this letter, this greeting takes on a whole new meaning.

Paul is in Prison.

And this letter is one of the last letters that Paul would ever write.

You see, Paul is imprisoned in Rome under the Emperor Nero, and Nero was a wicked and vile man.

The early years of Nero’s reign were somewhat benign. Just another pagan emperor.

But from AD 64-68 AD Nero began one of the most intense and violent persecutions the church has ever seen.

And it was in this great persecution that Paul landed himself in a Roman prison for the second time.

You remember Paul’s first imprisonment.

At the end of the book of Acts, Paul is in Rome under house arrest. But even while he was under arrest, Paul was still able to do high impact ministry.

The book of Acts ends saying He lived there two whole years at his own expense, and welcomed all who came to him, proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness and without hindrance Acts 28:30-31.

And during this imprisonment Paul was confident that the Jewish false charges against him would be dropped and he would walk away a free man. And he was.

Eventually Paul was released, and what did Paul do? Planned another missionary journey so more people could hear the gospel. That’s when he wrote 1 Timothy and Titus.

But now, he was in prison again. But this time, Paul didn’t think he was going to walk away. Paul knew, this time, he was going to die for his faith.

In 2 Timothy Paul tells us he is bound with chains as a criminal (2 Tim. 2:9).

He was in a cold cell so he asks for his cloak (2 Tim 4:13).

And he knows the end is near. Near the end of his letter, Paul says 2 Timothy 4:6-7 “For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”

And this is why Paul is writing this letter.

He was called by the will of God to be an apostle. And the purpose of his ministry and life was one thing. The promise of the life that is in Christ Jesus.

That was Paul’s mission and sole focus of everything he did. Everyone outside of Christ is dead in their sins, but God has promised eternal life in Jesus, and in Him alone can we be saved.

But How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? 15 And how are they to preach unless they are sent? (Rom. 10:14-15).

Paul is in prison. He’s about to die. Who’s going to finish the mission? Who is going to keep laboring and suffering for the promise of the life that is in Christ Jesus so that more people might be saved?

To Timothy, my beloved child.

2 Timothy is a passing of the torch. Paul is giving his last will and testament so that the work he started would not die with him.

Paul wants Timothy to finish the mission. And Paul wants Timothy to train new pastors and more churches to finish the mission after him.

To carry out the work of the gospel so that all the nations would know the grace and life that are in Jesus Christ.

Even facing death, Paul’s sole focus is the grace, love, joy and salvation God has promised to everyone who repents and believes in Christ.

Grace dominated Paul’s life. And if we are going to pick up the torch and finish the mission that has been handed down to us through the last 2000 years of church history, grace has to dominate our life as well.

So I want to look at God’s grace in the life of Paul.

So often we look at Paul as just a hero of the faith. A great servant of the Lord.

But have you ever wondered why did God choose Paul?

Why did God choose Paul, of all people, to be a missionary apostle to the Gentiles, pagans, far off from the covenant salvation of God?

Why did he choose Paul to write more books of the NT than any other, even the 12 who walked with Jesus while he was on the earth?

God chose Paul for a reason. It wasn’t chance. It wasn’t an accident. God chose Paul specifically to tell us something about God himself and the grace he freely gives to every sinner who believes in Christ.

As we look at the end of Paul’s life and his last letter I want us to know what drove the man to lay his life on the line and suffer like he did for the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Because if we want to finish our mission, we need to have the same thing driving us.

So who was Paul? And what does Paul tell us about God’s grace?

Paul’s Story

Saul

Paul’s story actually doesn’t start with Paul. It starts with a man named Stephen.

Stephen was a believer in the early church the Bible says was full of faith and the Holy Spirit (Acts 6:5).

And Stephen was preaching the gospel. He was preaching forgiveness and warning the Jews that in his first act as King, Jesus would come on the clouds to judge Jerusalem, and destroy the Temple, the center of Jewish life and worship.

This judgment was because the Jews rejected the Messiah and crucified Jesus, who is the true temple of God and the true and only sacrifice that can wash away our sins.

And Jesus did exactly what he said he would do. In AD 70 he destroyed the Temple through the Romans, and not one stone was left on another just like he prophesied in Matthew 24.

But this was 40 years before that, and the Jews seized Stephen and brought him before the council to try him for blasphemy just like they did Jesus.

And when they asked him to answer for his crimes, Stephen preached a sermon.

Starting with Abraham and working through the history of Israel, from Moses and the exodus from Egypt, to the Temple itself, Stephen proclaimed how all of it pointed to Christ, the one they themselves rejected and hung on a tree.

God made great promises to Abraham. To save the world through his seed. But at every turn the Jews resisted that salvation.

Joseph’s brothers persecuted him and sold him to slavery in Egypt. But God raised Joseph up to the second most powerful person in the Land, and he delivered his family from famine.

Years later, God raised up Moses to deliver his people from slavery, but again, the Jews rejected their redeemer and Moses went into exile.

But God sent Moses back, and saved his people. But again they rebelled and worshiped the golden calf instead of following the Law of God.

Stephen’s point was that the Jews consistently resisted salvation, and now they were trusting in the Temple and the sacrifices instead of the One the Temple looked forward to.

Then Stephen ended his sermon with these words. Acts 7:51-53 “You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit. As your fathers did, so do you. Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who announced beforehand the coming of the Righteous One, whom you have now betrayed and murdered, you who received the law as delivered by angels and did not keep it.”

Jesus was the Messiah. And Stephen was on Trial for blaspheming the Law, but he says You are the ones blaspheming the Law, because you murdered the Messiah the Temple and the Law of Moses looked for.

This enraged the Jews, but full of the Spirit, Stephen looked into heaven and saw a vision, and said with a loud voice Acts 7:56 “Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”

Jesus is the Messiah! The King of kings and Lord of lords who holds all authority and dominion forever and ever!

This was the last straw. The Jews starting shouting and rushed Stephen, dragged him out of the city, and stoned him to death.

And the Bible says Then they cast him out of the city and stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul…And Saul approved of his execution (Acts 7:58; 8:1).

And that day, Stephen’s death began a great persecution against the church.

Acts 8:1-3 There arose on that day a great persecution against the church in Jerusalem, and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. Devout men buried Stephen and made great lamentation over him. But Saul was ravaging the church, and entering house after house, he dragged off men and women and committed them to prison.

When it says Saul was ravaging the church, it means Sual reeked havoc on the church. It the same word that talks about destroying a city until its nothing but rubble or a wild animal mauling and devouring a person.

And that’s what Saul did. We can sanitize that when we read it. But put yourself there.

Saul went from house to house, arresting men and women, separating them from their spouse and children.

Ripping people from their homes and family while their children cried and begged, “Please no!” to throw them in prison for following Christ.

Later Paul even confesses that when these believers were put to death, Saul himself cast his vote against them because he was greatly enraged. He was filled with hatred for Christ and his people.

This was a wicked man. This is similar to what the Taliban is doing right now to our brothers and sisters in Afghanistan all because they follow Jesus.

That was Saul. A persecutor and ravager of the church.

1500

Conversion

In the book of Acts, the gospel continues to go forth because nothing can stop God’s salvation, and Saul comes back into the story in Acts chapter 9.

But Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, [You can just see Saul’s hatred for Christ and his church! Its right there. But Saul] went to the high priest 2 and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem (Acts 9:1-2).

Saul wanted to crush the church. But Jesus, in his wonderful grace, had other plans.

On his way to Damascus, a light from heaven, brighter than the sun swallowed Saul.

Saul fell to the ground and heard a voice. Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? (Acts 9:4).

This is one of my favorite passages. This is Jesus speaking, and do you hear what he says? Why are you persecuting me?

Christ so loves us, and identifies with us, that he says an attack on us, is an attack on him.

We do not suffer alone. Christ is with us. That is what we need to remember when we face persecution.

Persecution isn’t just getting thrown in prison for preaching the gospel. Its certainly that. But Jesus’ definition of persecution is anything we suffer for righteousness sake. For following Jesus and living for him.

Its anything we suffer to obey Christ and have a clean conscience before him.

And Christ’s promise is that he’s with us. That he will help us endure and we can rejoice even in our suffering knowing our reward is great in heaven and God has counted us worthy to suffer for the Name.

Back to Saul.

When Saul heard “Why are you persecuting me?” Saul said, “Who are you Lord?” (Acts 9:5).

And Jesus said, I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. But rise and enter the city, and there you will be told all that is appointed for you to do (Acts 9:5-6; 22:10).

So Saul got up, and when he opened his eyes he was blind, and for 3 days he didn’t eat or drink.

In the city was a man named Ananias, a faithful Christian. Jesus came to Ananias and told him to go to Saul and pray for him that he might regain his sight.

Ananias said, Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he has done to your saints at Jerusalem. 14 And here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on your name (Acts 9:13-14).

Are you sure God? He might arrest me?

And God said, Go, for he is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before the Gentiles and kings and the children of Israel. 16 For I will show him how much he must suffer for the sake of my name (Acts 9:15-16).

So Ananias went, prayed for Saul, and Saul arose from where he lay and was baptized calling upon the name of the Lord to be saved.

And then the most incredible thing happened.

Acts 9:20 And immediately he proclaimed Jesus in the synagogues, saying, “He is the Son of God.”

What had happened? Wasn’t Saul a persecutor of the church? But now he was preaching Jesus.

The early church was just as confused. The Bible says All who heard him were amazed and said, “Is not this the man who made havoc in Jerusalem of those who called upon this name? And has he not come here for this purpose, to bring them bound before the chief priests?” 22 But Saul increased all the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived in Damascus by proving that Jesus was the Christ (Acts 9:21-22).

In fact, Saul so boldly proclaimed that Jesus was the Messiah, that now he was the one being persecuted. The Jews conspired together to kill him, so Saul had to escape by being lowered in a basket through an opening in the city wall.

And eventually Saul was set apart by the Holy Spirit to be a missionary and the rest is history. He started going by his Roman name Paul because he was an apostle to the Gentiles.

He traveled all over the Roman Empire preaching the good news of God’s grace in Christ, planting churches, discipling the saints, refuting false teachers, and suffering great things for the sake of the gospel and the salvation of every person he could get to that didn’t know Christ.

Describing his own ministry over and against false teachers, Paul said he had far greater labors, far more imprisonments, with countless beatings, and often near death. 24 Five times I received at the hands of the Jews the forty lashes less one. 25 Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I was adrift at sea; 26 on frequent journeys, in danger from rivers, danger from robbers, danger from my own people, danger from Gentiles, danger in the city, danger in the wilderness, danger at sea, danger from false brothers; 27 in toil and hardship, through many a sleepless night, in hunger and thirst, often without food, in cold and exposure. 28 And, apart from other things, there is the daily pressure on me of my anxiety for all the churches (2 Cor 11:23-28).

And now he was sitting in a cell, locked under heavy chains, waiting to die for the Lord he once persecuted and hated with all his being.

Why do I tell you all that? What am I trying to say? What do I want you to see?

If God can save Paul, God can save anyone. That’s how great God’s grace is.

And thats the grace everyone needs to hear. That’s the grace that changed Saul to Paul, and motivated him to finish the mission.

To do everything he could so that more people could believe the promise of life that is in Christ.

God saved Saul, because if there was anyone outside of God’s grace, anyone beyond God’s forgiveness, it would’ve been him.

He persecuted Christ himself. He arrested Christians and had them put to death.

And then God saved him. And more than that, God called him to be an apostle and made him one of the greatest pastors and missionaries that has ever lived.

The life of Paul, God saving this man, forgiving him, washing away all of his sins is a case study for us of just how great God’s grace really is.

This is the BIG IDEA I want you to take away from this sermon this morning.

In Christ, God’s grace is so great that He saves even the most unworthy sinner.

God is so kind, so gracious, so loving that in Christ he forgives people that have no business being forgiven.

People you would think are so far off from the grace of God, they could never be saved.

But God shows his glory, the magnificence of his grace, mercy, love, and forgiveness, in that there is no one too far gone that can’t be forgiven by the precious blood of Jesus Christ.

God is in the business of saving sinners and the more vile wicked and wretched they are only confirms how good and gracious God really is.

That’s what God wants us to see in the life of Paul. If God is so kind and loving and gracious that he would take a ravager of the church, Christ’s own bride, and forgive him there’s no one God won’t forgive in Christ.

So I want to point out two direct applications that God’s grace towards Paul should have in our life.

3750

Application

First...

1. God’s Grace is Great

1 Timothy 1:15-17 The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost.

Paul says it himself.

He’s the chief of sinners. If anyone deserved hell and judgment it was him.

And in 1 Corinthians 15, Paul says that’s because he persecuted the church of God (1 Corinthians 15:9).

But Paul continues.

16 But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life.

This is Paul saying he’s the case study.

Do you feel unclean? Unforgivable? So guilty that you think, “You don’t understand. I am so sinful, and the things I’ve done are so horrible, there is no way God can forgive me.”

Listen, all of us have things in our life that makes us feel like the chief of sinners.

Things we wish that we could take back. Do over. Those secret things that every time we think of them we are filled with shame, and just want to hide.

But Paul shows us that even the chief of sinners isn’t beyond the grace of God.

Because God’s forgiveness doesn’t depend on us. It all depends on Christ.

Every sin we’ve ever committed was nailed to the cross.

Paul himself wrote, There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Rom. 8:1).

No is Greek for zilch, none, nada.

All of your sins have been washed away. God says he has thrown them into the deepest parts of the sea. He has removed them from you as far as the east is from the west. He has promised in the New Covenant, to remember your sins no more.

And remember what Titus says. God never lies.

That is because Jesus paid your debt of sin. The Son of God became a man and lived a perfect, sinless life.

And he offered his blood as a sacrifice to satisfy the wrath of God.

The wages of sin is death, and Leviticus 17:11, the life is in the blood.

When Jesus died on the cross, he shed his blood to cover us. He died the death we deserved to die under the wrath and judgment of God so that our sin might be fully paid and through faith in him we would have the promise of eternal life.

And 3 days later, God guaranteed this promise when he rose Jesus from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit.

And what should be our response to this amazing grace? Verse 17.

17 To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

Glory to God. Praise and thanksgiving to him because all of us could look at our own life and say, “I may not be the chief of sinners, but there is no way I deserved God’s grace.”

And yet, in Christ, God gives it.

One of my goals in this sermon was for us as a church to marvel at God’s grace in Christ, and say what God is like this?

What God forgives his enemies? Who is so gracious to forgive even the chief of sinners and give us eternal life?

Micah 7:18 “Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity and passing over transgression.

If you are here this morning and you haven’t put your trust in Christ, don’t delay. He will forgive. The Bible says if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved (Rom. 10:9).

God will forgive you. There is no sin too evil, no stain too deep that the blood of Jesus cannot wash away.

Its like that old Hymn. Come ye sinners. Poor and needy. Weak and wounded, sick and sore Jesus ready, stands to save you Full of pity, love and power. Come, ye weary, heavy-laden. Lost and ruined by the fall If you tarry 'til you're better. You will never come at all.

You can never make yourself clean enough for God to forgive you. The only thing that can forgive you is faith in Christ and him alone.

But for the rest of us, God’s grace should consume us. It should overwhelm us. And We should be so amazed by what God has done for us in Christ that all of our lives are given to him in worship.

Our daily desire should be to feast and savor on God’s grace in worship and glory to Christ.

But it shouldn’t stop there. If we really understand the grace of God, and if we really want God to be worshiped for all that he’s worth, then we can’t just hold that grace right here.

Content to sit in our own holy huddle, thinking to ourselves, how great it is that God saved us.

If God’s grace really is this great, then everyone needs to know about it.

And that’s the second application I want to make.

2. God’s Grace is Our Mission

2 Timothy 1:1-2 “Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God according to the promise of the life that is in Christ Jesus, To Timothy, my beloved child.

God’s grace for Paul, drove the mission and purpose of Paul’s life.

More people needed Christ and Paul wanted to do whatever it would take so that more people would know God’s amazing grace.

Remember why Paul said God called him to be an apostle. For the sake of the promise of the life that is in Christ Jesus.

Without Christ, people cannot be saved. And they are doomed to suffer eternal death for their sins.

The people of God have always been a missionary people, because the people of God knew, the grace of God is the world’s only hope.

And if God has been so gracious to us, men and women numbered with the chief of sinners, we cannot withhold that grace from others.

God’s grace in Christ was our greatest need. We were dead without it. How many more people need that grace?

But we face two temptations. 1. We can get comfortable in our own salvation.

Just because we are not going to hell, we can lose the urgency for the grace of God.

We can settle into our weekly routine of coming to church, where we are just happy to be together, all the while mostly content that people are perishing all around us.

We forget just how lost and blind our family, neighbors, friends, and coworkers really are. How desperate they need God’s grace.

But that relates to the second temptation. Sometimes we don’t forget. Sometimes, like right now, the lostness of the world is blatantly obvious.

We can see the evil and wickedness of full display and our temptation moves from being comfortable, to an outright lack of care or concern.

The temptation is: they made their bed they can lie in it. Let ‘em have it. Sure we want people to get saved, we’re not monsters.

But when things fall apart, like our world is falling apart right now, its all to easy to look at the lost like enemies. People that don’t deserve the grace of God.

But doesn’t God’s grace save even the chief of sinners?

Like Paul, God’s great grace should drive us to finish the mission because people need Christ and Christ alone has the promise of eternal life.

Let me put it to you like this.

I think, when we are judgmental, antagonistic, or at best indifferent to the lost around us, that says more about us than about them.

When we lack a burden and urgency for others to know Christ, the same burden and urgency that led Christ himself to suffer and die on our behalf, I think we’ve forgotten just how great God’s grace really is towards us.

Why would we expect anything other than brokenness from the world around us?

They don’t have Christ. And if Christ is the one that holds all things together, then it makes perfect sense that everything would fall apart when everything in our culture rejects him.

But we can’t have the heart of the Pharisees. They were constantly getting mad that Jesus would eat and associate with sinners, tax collectors, and prostitutes. The dregs of society.

And time and again, Jesus said, “I came for them. I came to save them.”

Our whole world is in darkness. And everyone in it is drowning in a dark and stormy ocean. The winds howl, and the waves crash, and all around us are souls struggling and drowning, cursing, and screaming and some of them are sinking under the waves, dying without hope.

What kind of church will we be? What kind of grace will we preach? A small grace that saves us and a few others. Or a great grace, that everyone needs to hear?

In the parable of the prodigal son, Jesus tells us what the heart of the Father is like. The prodigal son, that cursed his father and left the home to squander his life in that dark ocean comes back hoping beyond hope that there might be a sliver of a chance his father takes him back.

And you know what the Father does? He sees his son while he is still a long way off, and is overwhelmed with compassion. With love grace and mercy for his boy, and he runs out to meet him, grabs him and hugs him like he’s never going to let go.

He rejoices at the return of his son. He throws a feast. He says Let us eat and celebrate for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found (Luke 15:23-24).

That’s what God does. Thats how great God’s grace is.

But there is another person in the story. The older brother who represents the heart of the Pharisees.

This brother heard the party and was angry and refused to go in. He hated his brother, and resented any idea that he could be saved.

Which heart are we going to have? Will we have the heart of our Father who rejoices in his grace that saves even the most unworthy sinner?

Or will we have the heart of the older brother who forgets the Fathers love and kindness, and thinks everyone else made their bed. They should lie in it.

If we really are a church that’s all about the grace of God and his glory in saving sinners, then God’s grace has to be our mission.

We were in that ocean until God saved us.

And if we believe God’s grace is as great as we say it is, as we know it to be for ourselves, then we will give our whole life to proclaim the good news of the promise of eternal life in Christ Jesus.

That’s why Paul ends his greeting with Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

Usually Paul ends his greetings simply saying Grace and peace. But here he adds, mercy and its no accident.

These three words are a theological summary of man’s sorry estate in total depravity and God’s great love for him in Christ despite it.

Grace is God’s loving kindness to people who don’t and would never deserve it.

His mercy is what God gives to the weak and helpless who can do nothing to save themselves.

And Peace is the reconciliation God gives to everyone who trusts in Christ. They are no longer traitors and enemies.

They are beloved sons and daughters.

And this salvation is freely given by God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

4750

Conclusion

Paul is writing this from a prison cell knowing death is around the corner.

And Paul starts his letter, not with concern for himself, but with a concern for the mission of the grace of God.

2 Timothy is Paul’s passing of the torch to Timothy, and now, 2,000 years later, that torched has passed down to us.

In Christ, God’s grace is so great that He saves even the most unworthy sinner.

The life of Paul proves that. If anyone was outside the grace of God it was him.

And Christ’s grace for Paul shows us two things.

First, God’s grace is great.

The same grace that washed away all of Paul’s sins, the chief of sinners, is the same grace God loves you with.

There are no words to describe how great God’s grace is towards us who believe.

And Second, God’s grace is our mission.

No one lights a lamp to put it under a basket.

The more we love God’s grace the more we will want to share it with the world.

The promise of life in Christ was Paul’s greatest joy and his great purpose.

If we hope to run our race and finish the mission, it needs to be ours as well.

Scripture Reading

Ps 36:5-9 “Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds. Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judgments are like the great deep; man and beast you save, O Lord. How precious is your steadfast love, O God! The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings. They feast on the abundance of your house, and you give them drink from the river of your delights. For with you is the fountain of life; in your light do we see light.”
