I couldn't remember for sure if I finished verse eight or not, so I moved on to verse nine anyway, just in case. I preached on verse eight at Brother Brent Logan's missions conference, so that got me a little confused. Well, I've already preached that, but I'm not sure if I preached it in here. Did I teach a lesson that Ended up with R.G. Letourneau in here? Or did I use that in the church? I did that in here? Okay. Well, I think I finished that lesson because it was at the end of that lesson. So that's perfect. All right, let's pray. Father, we do pray that you'd meet with us tonight. Thank you, Lord, for these folks that want to learn the word of God. And I pray, Father, that you would get real with us tonight, Father, and move in our midst and speak to hearts and have liberty and unction, Lord, that we might learn, but that we might grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord and in the scriptures. May we see Jesus tonight, I pray in Jesus' name. Amen. If we don't see Jesus in this verse, we're in trouble. Verse nine, chapter eight. Let me give you a, I wrote a little outline this afternoon on what I've already taught. The moreover of giving, about it being the priority. It's in verse 1. The Macedonians giving because they had the grace of God on them. The Marks of giving, you got to hurt, you got to be happy about it, and you got to be broke. The miracle of giving, verse 4, Well, actually it starts in verse three, beyond their power, they were willing. That's a miracle when you give beyond your power. When you give more than you can possibly give, God has to get in it. It has to be a miracle. The ministry of giving, verse four, He said, ministering to the saints. I got to think about that ministry of giving. You know, a lot of guys that get up and go to work every day don't believe they're in full-time ministry. But you are. So the next time somebody asks you, are you in full-time ministry? Say, yes, sir. Oh yeah, what do you do? I get up and go to work every day so I can give them the missions. That's full-time ministry. and they're gonna look at you like you're crazy and you just say, that's what my pastor said. Blame me if they're trying to make you feel like you're crazy. The ministry of giving is because they were willing in verse three, they were praying in verse four, they were ministering in verse four, and they were giving in verse five, their own selves to the Lord and their own selves to Paul and Luke and Titus, the us in that verse, which we covered in detail. That's the ministry of giving. Then the men given, the Macedonians are given in verse one. Paul's given in verse four. Titus is given in verse six. Dr. Luke, he's always there. Paul's there, he's probably there. They were all given. They were traveling, they were going, they were preaching, but they were giving. Verse seven, the missing link of giving. They were abounding in everything, faith, utterance, knowledge, diligence, love, but they had a missing link. The missing link was they were not doing what they were supposed to do for missions to get the gospel to the regions beyond. George Mueller was a missionary, had an orphanage, and he gave more money to missions than about anybody you can read about back in the 1800s. He had so much faith in God that he believed God would take care of him and the orphans, and any money he got a hold of, he put it in the missions. It's an amazing story. The missing link of giving is they were doing great and everything, but missions giving. There's a lot of churches like that. Missions is their missing link. Verse number nine. Well, verse number eight is the motives of giving. It's not a commandment, so why do we give? Well, because of the forwardness of others. Somebody else gave to get the gospel to us, so we give to get the gospel going forward to somebody else. And to prove the sincerity of your love. If you really love, you'll give. And then verse nine is where we are tonight. The man who gave it all. The man Christ Jesus. He is our example in the grace of giving. I didn't finish the outline. We haven't been to verse 10 and 11 yet, but they're the method of giving. That's where he tells you about faith promise. Verse nine is the example of the grace of giving, and that's the Lord Jesus. Verse 10 and 11 is the expedience of giving. In other words, you said you were going to give, now do it. It's expedient to do it. The equality of giving, verse 14 and 15. So verse number 9 is our example in the grace of giving. For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Now he's been talking about grace all through here. Verse 1. We do you to with the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia. How that they were hurting and broke, but they gave and shouted to victory anyway. It's grace that allows them to do that. And he mentions grace in verse number six, this same grace also. He mentions grace in verse seven, this grace also. So the Lord is our example in the grace of giving. You know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ that though he was rich, how rich was he? Let's go to John chapter 17. He was richer than Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and any 10 other people that you can name, put together. He was richer than all of them. Furthermore, he could make all those guys broke tomorrow if he wanted to, or dead. And the things they have laid up, whose would they be? He was rich, John 17, verse 20. Well, why did I go to chapter 20? It's supposed to be chapter 17, verse 20. Neither, this is the Lord speaking, neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word, that's us, that they all may be one as thou father art in me and I in thee, that they also may be one in us. How rich was he? He was rich in fellowship with his father. Did you know if you'd fellowship with God and the Lord Jesus and the Holy Ghost, you'd be richer than any lost man in the world has ever lived? Rich in fellowship. If you don't believe that's riches, just go out there and do something wicked and get that fellowship broken and see how you like that. You'll hunger and thirst to get it back. You say, how do you know? Because every one of us has practiced it. And the reason we're here tonight, we decided I want fellowship with God. He was rich in fellowship with God. One, there may be one in us that the world may believe that thou hast sent me and the glory which thou gavest me, I have given them that they may be one even as we are one. He's rich in fellowship and he was rich in glory. Jesus Christ was glorious before he ever came to this world. Verse 23, I in them, Hallelujah. That's where He lives, in us. And thou in me. That's where we live, in Him. Just like He and the Father had before He ever came into this world. We have the same privilege. We just got this flesh dragging us down, and we can't see it most of the time, and we can't enjoy it most of the time. But He had it. before the world was. How long? Forever. That's rich. That's rich. That they may be made perfect in one and that the world may know that thou hast sent me and hast loved them as thou hast loved me. Father, I want you to know I've loved them just like you've loved me. That's rich in fellowship. That's rich in fellowship. You're gonna have to have a little faith to believe that. That's what we got. Whether you like it or not, that's what we got. Rich fellowship in Christ. Verse 24, our Father, I will that they also whom thou hast given me be with me where I am. That's the will of Jesus Christ. Father, I want them to be where I am. Well, son, if that's really what you want, you know what we got to do. Here am I. Send me, Father. I'll do it. Because I want them to have what you and I have. Glory to God. How good is that? that they may behold my glory. We read in the Bible about his life on this earth. In a lot of ways it was not too glorious. Sometimes it would be, sometimes it was not. But he wants us to see him in all of his glory. And we're gonna get to it. if you're born again. If you're here tonight and you're lost, you ought to get saved tonight. You ought to quit messing around about it. Amen. Quit flim-flamming around and just go ahead and get saved by the grace, where you can see all his glory forever. Don't miss that. Nothing in this world is worth missing that. that they may behold my glory which thou hast given me for thou lovest me before the foundation of the world. There's another one of them verses, before the foundation of the world. What happened before the foundation of the world? Jesus said, the Father loved me before the foundation of the world. They were fellowshipping in their glory before they ever spoke this world into existence. So why'd they even speak this world into existence? They wanted a bunch of sinners to fellowship with them forever. That's pretty hard to wrap your mind around, isn't it? He was rich in fellowship. He was rich in glory. There's another verse in this chapter, verse five, that talks about him being rich in glory. And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self, with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. God's gonna answer that prayer. This is a prayer. of the Lord Jesus. And God's gonna answer that prayer. He is rich in power. John chapter one, verses one through three. Most many of you know this. In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. Talking about the Word was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him and without Him was not anything made that was made. He was rich in power. Colossians 1, 16 and 17 talk about the same thing. And he is before all things. And by him, all things consist. That means you take Jesus out of this equation, everything just fly apart. Just fly apart, wouldn't be anything left. He's the glue that holds this whole world together. And he's the head of the body of the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, and that in all things he might have the preeminence. Rich in power. Rich in glory. Rich in fellowship. But our verse said, you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes, he became poor. I'm talking about the grace of giving. That's giving it all. That's giving it all. The fellowship, the glory, the power, He gave it all. How poor did he become? Matthew 8, 20 said, the foxes have holes and the birds have their nests, but the Son of Man hath no place to lay his head. How poor was he? If he was here tonight, he wouldn't have a bed to go sleep in tonight. More poor than anybody in here. He gave it all. The son of a carpenter in the world's eyes, Joseph. I know Joseph was not his father. God was his father, I understand that. But in the world's eyes, Joseph was his father. So he had the fellowship with his father in heaven. before the world began. Now he's got to fellowship with Joseph, which was no doubt a good guy, good man. But it probably wasn't quite like fellowshipping with God the Father. You know, even in this world, there's some people you can fellowship with and it's fine. There's some people you fellowship with them and it's better than fine. But that's still people. He's the son of a carpenter in the world's eyes, and his mother was ashamed of her family. We heard that, Brother Brad preached on that. Our Brother Tim talked about that. Even though Isaiah 714 had revealed a virgin shall conceive. His name's gonna be Emmanuel, God with us. So even though that was revealed, I have an idea there wasn't very many people that had the faith to believe it when it happened. It's like we talk about the trumpet sounding and church being raptured out of here. There's just a lot of people in this world that don't have the faith to believe that's ever gonna happen. So the Jewish people had waited for thousands of years. So they were just a little bit skeptical when God did it. Well, God is gonna send when it comes to the rapture, he's gonna send delusion, they're gonna believe a lie. They're not gonna believe that either. All these Christians are gonna be gone. Most churches will have enough people left in them to just keep right on operating. They won't even slow down. They won't miss a beat. Some of them, the pastor will still be there. Many of them. Philippians chapter two, verse five. I'm talking about he became poor. How poor? We talked about how rich. How poor? Philippians chapter two, verse five, let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who being in the form of God thought it not robbery to be equal with God. He was equal with God. But made himself of no reputation, The equal with God became a nobody. And was very content with that. You know, we're not very good at being a nobody. But he was, he was good at it. and took upon him the form of a servant." We heard about that, didn't we? The awl in the ear. Wasn't that a great message? A bond slave. He took upon him the form of a servant. Guard that towel around him. a servant and was made in the likeness of men. We're talking about the God of the eternal past and all of his power and glory and fellowship came into this world in the form of a servant to wicked men. Not the best Christians in the world. He was a servant to wicked people. You know, I'm not very good at that, just to tell you the truth. Don't tell anybody. I'm not very good at that. Now my wife, she can do it. She's always got a list of people that she's trying to be a blessing to. Maybe just because she sees them standing on the same street corner, day in and day out, driving to school and back home. So she'll start talking to them. She'll give them her daddy's track, because she knows most of them are drug addicts. They're just trying to get enough money together to get another hit. She'll give her daddy's track to them, from the narcotic to the Nazarene. And she'll say something like this. This is my daddy's story. This is his testimony. He was a drug addict and God saved him and God will save you just like he did my daddy. And she'll give him that track and a dollar. Or maybe more. I always say, look, let's keep it to $1, OK? Because they're going to be here tomorrow, too, OK? I didn't have $1. $5 is the littlest thing I have. Make sure you got $1 next time. It doesn't bother her. She don't mind if it's a $20. She don't care. Man. You say, well, they're just gonna waste it on dope. Exactly, that's the excuse I use for not giving them money. She don't care. Because her daddy was on dope. And she saw what God did for him. And she knows what God can do for them. She also understands he's not gonna do it for all of them, but he would do it for all of them if they'd just believe And she doesn't want them to be at the judgment and say, I remember that lady. She never gave me nothing. They don't have that excuse. She'll find out their name. She's been picking up a hitchhiker. I said, Marsha. We're in Houston, okay? We're not in De Leon. We're in Houston. You can't just be picking up strangers. She said, I watched him. He was walking to work. I watched him every day for weeks and even months. So I know he's going to work. If he's going to work every day and willing to walk to work every day, she said, he's not gonna hurt me. She said, if he does try, She said, I know what to do. And she said, I'm old enough now, if they put me in jail, I don't even care. That just means I have no more responsibilities. I'm just saying, I'm not very good at that, but she's a champ. She's a champ. Amen, praise the Lord. There's a man that works at Chili's in Tomball. She's always taking care of this guy. She sent your wife out there a few times, Brother Brian. If maybe she's busy, needed to get him some money, she'd send Kathleen out there and help this guy out. She's just got all these projects. Jesus got quite a few projects too, if you hadn't noticed. Every one of us in here has been his project. Or we wouldn't be here. He did for us what we didn't deserve. And we didn't even appreciate it for a long time. probably even despised him for a long time for trying to help us. Brother Wood used to say, well, that guy really hates me. He said, I must've tried to help him back down the road somewhere. The people that hate you the most are the ones you tried the hardest to help. The Bible says the more I love, the less I'd be loved. That's the principle. The harder you try to help somebody, the more they're going to hate you down the road. But Jesus didn't let that stop him from loving us and trying to help us. Here we are. And all the shout about that. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. He humbled himself, took upon him the form of a servant made in the likeness of men and found in fashion as a man. He humbled himself. That's what we don't like to do. We want to exalt ourselves. Tell people how spiritual we are. Not. There's probably not a spiritual person in here 90% of the time. I'm talking about the spiritual. He remembers our frame that we are but dust. Now that doesn't give you an excuse to just go be worldly, wicked, sorry, no good. But it does explain why it's a struggle He humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. I'm talking about how he had all this power and glory and fellowship and he gave it all up. Since he did, wherefore God hath also highly exalted him and given him a name which is above every name. By the way, God is gonna, he's given us a new name and he's gonna highly exalt us. Really, if you'd be honest about it, he's already exalted you above where you ought to be. If this was the best he ever did for us, I believe we can say glory to God, praise the Lord, hallelujah. But this is not all of it. Eye hath not seen, ear hath not heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man the things that God hath prepared for him. The best is yet to come. He humbled himself. Talking about he gave up his riches. And when it come time to die, he didn't even have a cemetery plot. He didn't have a prepaid funeral plan. He didn't have life insurance. I'm not against any of those things. They probably didn't even have any of that stuff back then. But he had nothing. No bank account, no investments. Did he have an inheritance to leave? Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. But they buried him in a borrowed tomb. I read Matthew 27, verse 60 today. You know, I read in every gospel account about that tomb, because we always say it's a borrowed tomb. And I believe Matthew 27 verse 60 must be where we got that. I'll start in verse 59. And when Joseph had taken the body, it's Joseph of Arimathea, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth and laid it in his own new tomb. meaning new tomb, meaning no man had laid there before. The other gospel accounts clarify that and verify it. His own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock. Now I've dug up some tree stumps, but I've never hewn a tomb in a rock big enough to do that in. That'd be some serious hammer and chisel work, wouldn't it? I wonder how long that took. So it was Joseph of Arimathea's tomb. So Jesus borrowed it for three days and three nights. I wonder if he's dropped by Joseph's house after resurrection. He said, hey, I'm done with your tomb. Appreciate it. It's real nice. But I'm through with it. You can have it back now. Tell your family you can be buried in there where I was buried. You reckon you can feel the Holy Ghost in that place? I don't think he moaned a horse or a donkey. When he needed a donkey to ride, he just sent them to go get one. Whose was it? No idea. He borrowed that too, I guess. He became poor. Why did he do it? Our text verse says, for your sakes. He did it for you. He did it for you and you and you and me. He did it for you. Had it all, more than we could even imagine. Gave it all and lived with less than we could even imagine. Anybody in here has been rich compared to the life Jesus Christ lived. But we're all trying to get a little bit richer. But he never did. I'm not saying it's wrong to do that. I'm just saying he gave it all. He did it for your sakes because He loves you. He wants you to be saved and forgiven and conform to His image and go to heaven when you die and enjoy the fellowship and the glory and the power that He had enjoyed before He ever came into this world. and he wants to enjoy that fellowship and glory and power with you personally. Now that's a miracle, isn't it? I mean, think about that, with you. You say, why wouldn't he want to? You just don't get it, do you? He wants to enjoy all that with you. And if you're saved, he will. Well, how's he going to fellowship with all of us at the same time? I have no idea, but I'm sure he can do it. I'm sure he can figure it out. If he can take a dirt ball and breathe into it and it lives forever, other than physically dying, but from that breath, we live forever. And everybody always will, either in heaven or in hell, but they're either gonna live forever or die forever. He wants to enjoy that with you. And he wants you to enjoy all the things that he gave up for your sakes. And he wants you to enjoy it forever. And you will, if you're saved, you will. Revelation 21. Revelation 21, verse nine. He's our example in the grace of giving. You can't out give the Lord. When we say you can't out give the Lord, you know how we're thinking? No matter how much I give, he's gonna give me more. We even think selfishly about that. And he's the good, he'll bless us even when we're thinking selfishly. Revelation 21, nine, and there came unto me one of the seven angels, which had the seven vials, full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, come hither, I will show thee the bride, the lamb's wife. That's us. No matter what the Baptist briders say, that's us. It's not them, it's us. They're saved, they'll get to be part of it too. But they're sure gonna be disappointed that there's so many of us that were not briders and we're there too. Baptist briders, if you don't know, it's people who believe only a certain sect of Baptists will be in the bride and all other Baptists who are saved, but you didn't get baptized in a bride or church, you're gonna be a friend instead of in the bride. And you'll be a servant at the marriage supper of the Lamb. You'll be serving everybody instead of feasting and enjoying it. That's Baptist Briders. Total goofballs. If you're a missionary and you go out there to raise support, they're going to ask you some questions. They're not going to come right out and say, we're Baptist Briders. Are you a Baptist Brider? No. They're just going to ask you some sneaky little questions to find out what you believe. It's like I got a text this week. Somebody said, what is reform theology? They had applied for a job in a Christian school, and they wanted to know what they believed about reform theology. I said, that's hyper-Calvinism, heavy on predestination and election. But you might just want to say, I don't know what reform theology is. But you can't say that now because I just told you. Those people that think that their particular church and their particular doctrine are the only people that's gonna go to heaven are gonna be sorely disappointed when they look around and there's people like us there. That they think had all that stuff wrong. When Brother Brad and I were talking in that restaurant that time, before he went to Juniper Canyon, And he said, you know, these churches out here, they're gonna, they're gonna, they're gonna really give me a hard time because my church is not gonna send me. That's Baptist, Brider theology. So I said, ah, don't matter, we'll send you. Tell them Shady Acres Baptist Church sent you. So that's what he's done all this time. So we sent him and we did. And glad to be a part. Real happy about being a part of what God's done out there. Come hither, I'll show thee the bride, the lamb's wife. And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, having the glory of God. I'm talking about He wants you to enjoy all the things He gave up. having the glory of God, and her light was likened to a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone clear as crystal, and had a wall great and high, and had 12 gates, and at the gates, 12 angels and names. I can't even imagine all that. Okay, I can imagine. But I bet I'm not getting it. I'm not a very imaginative guy. So the best I can do, I can just see these gates and these angels, but I'm not really getting the glory of it. It's gonna be better than anything that we can imagine. 12 gates, the gates, 12 angels, the names written there on which are the names of the 12 tribes of the children of Israel on the east three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates, and on the west three gates. That means you can get in there from any direction. It won't be all Southerners. God put gates all the way around. They come from any direction. And the wall of the city had twelve foundations and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. Now there is a distinction in the scriptures between the apostles and the 12 apostles of the Lamb. Those 12 are the ones that he called, that were with him during his earthly ministry, exalt Judas, insert Paul in his place, not the one they elected at their business meeting. They elected one in Acts at their business meeting, but Paul was one that was born out of due time. He was the 12th one. That's what I believe. You don't have to believe that. I said, well, you had to be an eyewitness of it. He was, wrote of Damascus. He was an eyewitness. And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city and the gates thereof and the wall thereof. Why are they measuring it? So they can write it down. So we'll know where we're going, what we're getting into. All right, go ahead and measure this place. Write it down. Lord, it's going to be great, no matter what the measurements are. Go measure it. Yes, sir. You know, God will tell you to do some mighty strange things sometimes, or at least it seems to be strange to you. But He's got a purpose whether you see it or not. He's got a purpose. And the city lies four square, and the length is as large as the breadth. And He measured the city with the reed, 12,000 furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal. And he measured the wall thereof, 140 and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel. And the building and the walls of it was of jasper, and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass." I can't wait to see that. Every gold that I've ever seen is not clear. And evidently it can be so pure that it's clear as glass. The foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious. I'm talking about he gave this all up for our sakes so we can have it forever by the grace of God and the blood of the lamb. The first was Jasper, the second Sapphire, the third of Chalcedony, fourth of Emerald, on and on and on and on. Verse 22, I saw no Temple therein for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. I mean, that's like this going to church. Just being there is gonna be like going to church. And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God did lighten it. Just like the glory of God clothed Adam and Eve till they sinned. Them hippies, they believed that they were just running around naked, you know, because the hippies were perverted about what they believed anyway. The whole love, love thing, you know, they thought, yeah, that's the ultimate right there, be naked in the garden. No, they were clothed with the glory of God till they sinned. And when they sinned, they looked at each other and said, let's get some fig leaves. There's something wrong with this. There's something wrong with us now. Yeah, the glory has departed. The glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof, and the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it, and the kings of the earth to bring their glory and honor into it. Man, there's a lot in that. I don't even know about all that. And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day, and there shall be no night there. and they shall bring the glory and honor of the nations into it, and there shall in no wise enter into it anything that defile it. Neither whatsoever worketh abomination or maketh a lie, but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life. Now there again, there's a distinction between the book of life and the Lamb's book of life. You can find in the Bible where people's names were wiped out of the book of life. So Charismatics and Pentecostals all believe you can lose your salvation, and a lot of other people. Because they say, see, God took their name out of the book. Took their name out of the book of life. Yeah, but it was not the Lamb's book of life. He said, what's the book of life? Your name gets written in it when you get born. You do something, commit a sin unto death, he erases your name when you die out of the book of life. But if you're saved, he does not erase your name out of the Lamb's book of life. It's there in blood. Amen. Song of Solomon 2 verse 4, I gotta hurry, time's up. Song of Solomon chapter two verse four, he brought me to the banqueting house and his banner over me was love. Why did he give it all up? For our sakes. Why would he do that? He loves us. The real question is, why would he do that? I have no answer. I just know it's so. Jesus loves me, this I know. How do you know? For the Bible tells me so. Verse 10, same chapter. My beloved spake and said unto me, rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. That'll be the day. Verse 13, the fig tree put forth her green figs and the vines with a tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away. Verse 16, and we're done. My beloved is mine and I'm his. Forever and forever and forever and forever and forever and forever and forever. Y'all start enjoying his fellowship now so you can see how different it is when we get there. What a day that will be. When my Jesus I shall see When I look upon his face The one who saved me by his grace When he takes me by the hand And leads me through the promised land ♪ What a day, glorious day that will be ♪ He's our example in the grace of giving. So when Paul says, come on, Corinth, you need to give, you need to give, you need to give, you need to give. Well, there's no commandment. Yeah, but look at your example. He gave it all. So couldn't you give something? People that don't give the missions don't know what they're missing out on. I preach in some churches and they step it up. I preach in a few churches, not many, but a few. They just never do get it. They just never do get it. They got all this stuff they got to do with their money. And it's always got something to do with themselves. It may be shopping, it may be hobbies, it may be anything. But even if they're in the ministry and they're putting their money in the ministry, they're usually putting it in their ministry. It's still selfish giving. Jesus gave it all unselfishly and did without so he could be our example in the grace of giving. Father, bless the class. Thank you for these good people, their good spirit and attitude and their good listening. I pray, Father, that you would receive our thanksgiving tonight and our praise for being so good to us And being so unselfish and so kind and so full of grace that you would do all that for us, we appreciate it and say glory to God. I can't wait to see what you've got for us forever. Lord, I got a lot of friends over there now. And I pray you just let him have a great time today. Jesus name I pray, amen.
