00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,704
Hello and welcome to the
Middletown Baptist Church podcast,

2
00:00:03,832 --> 00:00:06,500
where we are proclaiming the
truth to the world.

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,792
In this podcast series, we're
going to be looking into biblical

4
00:00:10,856 --> 00:00:14,140
words that have great
significance to our faith.

5
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,888
The name of this series is
called the Word of the Week, where

6
00:00:18,944 --> 00:00:22,920
once a week we will dive
deeper into these words that we are

7
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:24,780
familiar with in scripture.

8
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,272
So come along with me, let's study.

9
00:00:27,376 --> 00:00:28,980
The Word of the week.

10
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,104
Pastor Josh here with another
word of the week.

11
00:00:33,272 --> 00:00:35,712
The word of the week this week
is Incarnation.

12
00:00:35,856 --> 00:00:39,056
Now the word incarnation is
not explicitly found in scripture,

13
00:00:39,088 --> 00:00:42,784
but the teaching of it is very
similar to the word Trinity.

14
00:00:42,912 --> 00:00:46,528
Cannot find the word Trinity
in Scripture, but we know that the

15
00:00:46,584 --> 00:00:50,112
idea of the Trinity is, is
definitely explained and taught to

16
00:00:50,136 --> 00:00:50,912
us in Scripture.

17
00:00:50,976 --> 00:00:55,640
So the word incarnation, what
does the word incarnation mean?

18
00:00:55,800 --> 00:01:01,240
Um, incarnation is a word used
by individuals who have studied God

19
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:05,832
to describe or to indicate
Jesus who is God.

20
00:01:05,976 --> 00:01:08,280
But how Jesus took on flesh.

21
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:12,552
And, and so we believe that
Jesus is a hundred percent God and

22
00:01:12,656 --> 00:01:13,940
a hundred percent man.

23
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:19,976
Now the theological term for
that union between God and man, 100

24
00:01:20,048 --> 00:01:23,192
God, 100 man, is called
hypostatic union.

25
00:01:23,256 --> 00:01:25,432
Now I know we're using some
big words today, so I hope that you

26
00:01:25,456 --> 00:01:27,560
have your thinking caps on.

27
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,672
Uh, so, so we have the
hypostatic union of Christ.

28
00:01:31,856 --> 00:01:36,952
And so the idea that Jesus
took on flesh and came to live in

29
00:01:36,976 --> 00:01:40,296
this world, that term is
called incarnation.

30
00:01:40,488 --> 00:01:44,760
And so the, the hypostatic
union explains how Jesus has those

31
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:45,512
two natures.

32
00:01:45,576 --> 00:01:47,344
100% God, 100% man.

33
00:01:47,472 --> 00:01:50,976
But the incarnation is, is on
the specific side of Jesus taking

34
00:01:51,048 --> 00:01:53,728
on flesh Jesus 100% man.

35
00:01:53,784 --> 00:01:57,568
And that's important for us to
understand in our theology when it's

36
00:01:57,584 --> 00:02:01,280
talking about Jesus sacrifice
for us, it's important to know that

37
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,140
yes, he is a hundred percent
God, but he's a hundred percent man.

38
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:09,184
When we talk about Jesus
understanding our infirmities, as

39
00:02:09,272 --> 00:02:12,352
Hebrews chapter four says,
it's important to know that, that

40
00:02:12,376 --> 00:02:14,378
he is, that he is man.

41
00:02:14,434 --> 00:02:16,938
He is a hundred percent man in
the flesh.

42
00:02:17,114 --> 00:02:20,618
And so the, the passage of
Scripture that we would go to to

43
00:02:20,674 --> 00:02:21,910
point to this.

44
00:02:22,210 --> 00:02:25,130
And now there's many passages
of scripture that we could go to,

45
00:02:25,170 --> 00:02:29,114
but one that really teaches
this very clearly is John chapter

46
00:02:29,162 --> 00:02:29,750
one.

47
00:02:30,050 --> 00:02:34,330
John chapter one is a
beautiful display of the deity of

48
00:02:34,370 --> 00:02:34,950
Christ.

49
00:02:35,330 --> 00:02:39,588
So, so Jesus is God, Jesus is man.

50
00:02:39,754 --> 00:02:42,592
And so it says in verse one,
in the beginning was the Word.

51
00:02:42,656 --> 00:02:46,688
Now when we see the word word
here in John chapter one, where we're

52
00:02:46,704 --> 00:02:49,856
talking about Jesus, the Greek
word is Logos.

53
00:02:50,048 --> 00:02:51,904
And So it's speaking of Jesus.

54
00:02:51,952 --> 00:02:54,272
And so it says, in the
beginning was the Word, and the Word

55
00:02:54,336 --> 00:02:58,224
was with God, and the Word was God.

56
00:02:58,352 --> 00:03:02,800
And so anyone who doubts that
Jesus is completely God is doubting

57
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,220
John chapter one.

58
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:09,212
Because it doesn't just say
that Jesus was with God only, but

59
00:03:09,236 --> 00:03:11,644
that Jesus, as it says here,
was God.

60
00:03:11,772 --> 00:03:13,340
The same was in the beginning
with God.

61
00:03:13,420 --> 00:03:14,652
All things were made by Him.

62
00:03:14,676 --> 00:03:18,540
And so this speaks of the
aspect of, of creation.

63
00:03:18,700 --> 00:03:20,476
Jesus is the Creator.

64
00:03:20,668 --> 00:03:23,080
And then it goes on to say, in
him was life.

65
00:03:23,380 --> 00:03:26,284
And then verse five, and the
light shineth in darkness.

66
00:03:26,412 --> 00:03:30,556
And so it speaks of him being
the life, the light, the Creator.

67
00:03:30,748 --> 00:03:35,282
But then we skip forward to
verse number 14, really, where we

68
00:03:35,306 --> 00:03:37,938
get the teaching of incarnation.

69
00:03:38,114 --> 00:03:44,210
And it says, and the Word
Jesus was made flesh and dwelt among

70
00:03:44,250 --> 00:03:44,830
us.

71
00:03:45,690 --> 00:03:48,914
And we beheld his glory, the
glory as of the only begotten of

72
00:03:48,922 --> 00:03:51,154
the Father, full of grace and truth.

73
00:03:51,202 --> 00:03:56,162
And so John chapter 1, verse
14 explains to us what the incarnation

74
00:03:56,226 --> 00:03:58,594
is, and that is Jesus in the flesh.

75
00:03:58,722 --> 00:04:02,980
Another name of God that would
be linked to this is Emmanuel, God

76
00:04:03,130 --> 00:04:04,112
with us.

77
00:04:04,296 --> 00:04:08,304
And so we, we have to believe
that Jesus came in the flesh and

78
00:04:08,472 --> 00:04:12,048
went through the same
struggles that we went through.

79
00:04:12,104 --> 00:04:15,072
But the Bible says in Hebrews
chapter four, he did that all without

80
00:04:15,176 --> 00:04:17,456
sin, which I think is
important to note.

81
00:04:17,488 --> 00:04:17,696
It's.

82
00:04:17,728 --> 00:04:22,032
It's vital to note that Jesus
wasn't just a human in the fact that,

83
00:04:22,056 --> 00:04:23,296
hey, you know, we're all sinners.

84
00:04:23,328 --> 00:04:26,016
We're all flawed human beings.

85
00:04:26,048 --> 00:04:28,512
No, Jesus was human, but he
was not flawed in any way.

86
00:04:28,536 --> 00:04:32,020
There was no sin that was
present in his life.

87
00:04:32,060 --> 00:04:36,760
And so there, there's a lot of
biblical support to Jesus's humanity.

88
00:04:37,500 --> 00:04:41,892
Obviously, in the Gospels, it
speaks of Jesus doing things that

89
00:04:41,916 --> 00:04:42,548
humans do.

90
00:04:42,604 --> 00:04:46,404
I think of the times where it
mentions that he eats, that he drinks,

91
00:04:46,452 --> 00:04:50,228
that he sleeps, that he feels pain.

92
00:04:50,404 --> 00:04:55,614
And you know, we, we know that
he even in the garden perspired,

93
00:04:55,662 --> 00:04:56,318
he sweated.

94
00:04:56,414 --> 00:04:58,958
And so we know that he bled, right?

95
00:04:59,014 --> 00:05:02,350
So there's all these
indicators that Jesus wasn't just

96
00:05:02,390 --> 00:05:05,774
this heavenly being that was
exempt from the struggles of mankind,

97
00:05:05,822 --> 00:05:08,494
but Jesus knew our sorrows.

98
00:05:08,542 --> 00:05:11,982
And not just on the physical
realm of things, but even in the

99
00:05:12,006 --> 00:05:12,414
emotions.

100
00:05:12,462 --> 00:05:14,510
We know that Jesus had joy.

101
00:05:14,590 --> 00:05:15,902
We know that Jesus wept.

102
00:05:15,966 --> 00:05:20,370
We know that even Jesus had
righteous indignation or anger.

103
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,472
And so during his.

104
00:05:22,576 --> 00:05:26,792
His life that we can study in
Scripture, even Jesus referred to

105
00:05:26,816 --> 00:05:31,928
himself as, as a man, though
he also in other places referred

106
00:05:31,944 --> 00:05:33,016
to himself as God.

107
00:05:33,128 --> 00:05:37,300
And so throughout all of
Scripture, we know that Jesus Is

108
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,936
specifically in the New
Testament, Jesus is mentioned as

109
00:05:41,008 --> 00:05:41,528
a man.

110
00:05:41,584 --> 00:05:45,112
Now we know that again, Jesus
is mentioned as God as well.

111
00:05:45,216 --> 00:05:47,800
So there's some people that
take it on the other side of things

112
00:05:47,840 --> 00:05:52,194
and say that Jesus was just a
man and he was not God.

113
00:05:52,242 --> 00:05:53,810
And that's another heresy, right?

114
00:05:53,850 --> 00:05:56,466
That's, that's a heresy of
denying the deity of Christ.

115
00:05:56,618 --> 00:05:58,770
But we can also embrace the deity.

116
00:05:58,850 --> 00:06:00,946
Deity of Christ, but then
reject his humanity.

117
00:06:00,978 --> 00:06:04,350
And I think that would also be
a heresy as well.

118
00:06:04,730 --> 00:06:12,482
And so the, the idea of the
incarnation was to understand us.

119
00:06:12,586 --> 00:06:18,720
Yes, but I think more so than
just understanding us, it was that

120
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:23,420
Jesus came in the flesh to be
the sacrifice for us.

121
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:29,136
Remember, we said that he was
the one who came and lived the life

122
00:06:29,288 --> 00:06:30,544
similar to ours.

123
00:06:30,672 --> 00:06:34,896
And the fact that there was
trials, temptations, pain, suffering,

124
00:06:35,008 --> 00:06:39,152
emotional anguish, but yet, as
we see in the book of Hebrews, it

125
00:06:39,176 --> 00:06:40,048
says, yet without sin.

126
00:06:40,064 --> 00:06:43,460
And I think it's important to
note that I referenced that passage

127
00:06:43,790 --> 00:06:47,126
a few times here, but I
haven't told you this specific verse.

128
00:06:47,238 --> 00:06:48,966
I think that would be
important to do.

129
00:06:49,118 --> 00:06:52,918
Hebrews, chapter 4, verse 15,
it says, for we have not a high priest

130
00:06:53,094 --> 00:06:56,182
which cannot be touched with
the feeling of our infirmities, but

131
00:06:56,206 --> 00:07:00,486
was at all points tempted like
as we are, yet without sin.

132
00:07:00,598 --> 00:07:04,406
And there's that disclaimer,
there's that distinction that Jesus

133
00:07:04,518 --> 00:07:07,398
went through all the things
that we go through as a human, but

134
00:07:07,534 --> 00:07:09,610
he did it without sin.

135
00:07:09,910 --> 00:07:12,942
And so, yes, Jesus came to
understand us.

136
00:07:12,966 --> 00:07:16,570
And there, and there's a big
teaching out there today that, that,

137
00:07:16,950 --> 00:07:19,262
you know, Jesus came and he
understands us.

138
00:07:19,286 --> 00:07:22,926
And that is true, though he
understands us, he doesn't condone

139
00:07:22,958 --> 00:07:24,130
our wrongdoing.

140
00:07:24,710 --> 00:07:29,422
And, and so, yes, one element
of Jesus's incarnation is that he

141
00:07:29,446 --> 00:07:30,414
does understand us.

142
00:07:30,502 --> 00:07:32,510
But there's more to the
incarnation than that.

143
00:07:32,550 --> 00:07:37,022
It is that Jesus came to a
people who were under the law, who

144
00:07:37,046 --> 00:07:38,490
could not fulfill the law.

145
00:07:39,110 --> 00:07:42,766
You and I cannot fulfill the
law, but yet Jesus comes and fulfills

146
00:07:42,798 --> 00:07:43,118
the law.

147
00:07:43,174 --> 00:07:47,358
Some people think that Jesus
came to destroy the law, yet we know

148
00:07:47,414 --> 00:07:49,806
that Jesus did not come to
destroy the law.

149
00:07:49,878 --> 00:07:52,014
Matthew, chapter 5, verse 17.

150
00:07:52,102 --> 00:07:57,550
He says, Think not that I am
come to destroy the law or the prophets.

151
00:07:57,710 --> 00:07:58,526
So he says, don't.

152
00:07:58,558 --> 00:08:01,582
Don't think that I'm coming to
tear this all up.

153
00:08:01,766 --> 00:08:05,178
He says, I'm not come to
destroy, but to fulfill.

154
00:08:05,374 --> 00:08:07,410
And so Jesus fulfilled the law.

155
00:08:07,530 --> 00:08:10,626
Now, now the fact that he
fulfilled the law meant that he's

156
00:08:10,658 --> 00:08:15,750
the only one who was worthy to
give a sacrifice for sin.

157
00:08:16,090 --> 00:08:17,474
My sacrifice means nothing.

158
00:08:17,522 --> 00:08:19,310
Because I cannot fulfill the law.

159
00:08:19,610 --> 00:08:24,690
We know this because In
Galatians chapter 4, verse 5, it

160
00:08:24,730 --> 00:08:28,466
says to redeem them that were
under the law, that we might receive

161
00:08:28,498 --> 00:08:29,890
the adoption of sons.

162
00:08:29,970 --> 00:08:37,020
So Jesus came to those who are
under the law to redeem them, to

163
00:08:37,060 --> 00:08:38,124
pay the price for their sins.

164
00:08:38,172 --> 00:08:41,932
And we even know in Hebrews
chapter 9, verse 22, that without

165
00:08:41,956 --> 00:08:44,844
the sharing of blood, there's
no forgiveness or remission of sins.

166
00:08:44,892 --> 00:08:49,340
And so it was his sacrifice
that was able to pay that price for

167
00:08:49,380 --> 00:08:49,628
us.

168
00:08:49,684 --> 00:08:52,988
And so that's a huge element
of the incarnation.

169
00:08:53,164 --> 00:08:56,940
And so there was a, there was
a growing belief system, system even

170
00:08:56,980 --> 00:08:59,040
back in the time of the New Testament.

171
00:08:59,700 --> 00:09:04,748
And it was a, it was a
teaching that Jesus was not human.

172
00:09:04,804 --> 00:09:06,700
He couldn't be human to be
God, right?

173
00:09:06,740 --> 00:09:09,068
So he, he can't be God and
human at the same time.

174
00:09:09,204 --> 00:09:13,292
So therefore he was perceived
as a human by other humans, but he

175
00:09:13,316 --> 00:09:16,652
was not at any way, shape or
form a human.

176
00:09:16,836 --> 00:09:18,636
And that would be a heresy.

177
00:09:18,748 --> 00:09:22,092
Um, there are other people
that taught that yes, Jesus was a

178
00:09:22,116 --> 00:09:25,110
human, but, and he was a great human.

179
00:09:25,410 --> 00:09:32,490
He was miraculous in his
humanity and he worked in, in many

180
00:09:32,530 --> 00:09:35,630
great ways, but yet he was
still a creation of God.

181
00:09:36,050 --> 00:09:38,810
We know that in John chapter
one that that is not true.

182
00:09:38,890 --> 00:09:40,954
In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God.

183
00:09:41,002 --> 00:09:43,066
So that speaks of his eternality.

184
00:09:43,258 --> 00:09:46,474
And so just because Jesus came
in the flesh there in Bethlehem when

185
00:09:46,482 --> 00:09:49,748
He was born, that, that
doesn't mean that Jesus was, was

186
00:09:49,804 --> 00:09:51,364
created at that point.

187
00:09:51,452 --> 00:09:54,420
Jesus has always been and
always will be, he's eternal.

188
00:09:54,580 --> 00:09:57,476
So the incarnation is that he
took on flesh.

189
00:09:57,588 --> 00:10:00,760
That wasn't his beginning, and
that was just the incarnation.

190
00:10:01,180 --> 00:10:05,156
And so, so God the Father did
the work of sending his only begotten

191
00:10:05,188 --> 00:10:05,444
Son.

192
00:10:05,492 --> 00:10:09,268
We know that through John
3:16, he provides a way for us for,

193
00:10:09,324 --> 00:10:10,360
for salvation.

194
00:10:10,780 --> 00:10:14,868
And so we are thankful for the
Word who becomes flesh and dwelt

195
00:10:14,884 --> 00:10:16,220
some dwelling, dwell, dwells
among us.

196
00:10:16,260 --> 00:10:18,524
And so we know that he is the
perfect lamb.

197
00:10:18,572 --> 00:10:20,668
We know that he is the perfect sacrifice.

198
00:10:20,844 --> 00:10:25,132
And so it's important for us
to understand the teaching of the

199
00:10:25,156 --> 00:10:28,812
incarnation because it helps
us understand other things like that

200
00:10:28,836 --> 00:10:31,880
hypostatic union, 100% God,
100% man.

201
00:10:33,620 --> 00:10:38,412
So that is the teaching of incarnation.

202
00:10:38,476 --> 00:10:41,000
Jesus came in the flesh, he
dwelt among us.

203
00:10:41,560 --> 00:10:43,376
He's full of grace and truth.

204
00:10:43,568 --> 00:10:46,496
And, and I know that it might
be something that we're somewhat

205
00:10:46,528 --> 00:10:49,440
familiar with, but I think
it's important for us to put a, a

206
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:50,368
word to it.

207
00:10:50,504 --> 00:10:52,784
Now you don't have to know
that word, to understand that principle.

208
00:10:52,832 --> 00:10:56,880
But it is nice to succinctly
put together that, yes, Jesus came

209
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:57,296
in the flesh.

210
00:10:57,328 --> 00:10:59,456
That's the Incarnation in the flesh.

211
00:10:59,488 --> 00:11:01,888
That's what it actually
literally means, in the flesh.

212
00:11:02,064 --> 00:11:06,294
And so Jesus came, lived a
perfect life, fulfilled the law,

213
00:11:06,432 --> 00:11:10,666
paid the price for our sins,
conquered death and hell through

214
00:11:10,738 --> 00:11:13,470
his sacrifice and his resurrection.

215
00:11:13,810 --> 00:11:16,522
So that's something that we
can celebrate so we can know that

216
00:11:16,546 --> 00:11:20,362
in our minds, we can believe
it in our hearts, we can live it

217
00:11:20,386 --> 00:11:21,210
out in our lives.

218
00:11:21,330 --> 00:11:22,442
So that's the Incarnation.

219
00:11:22,506 --> 00:11:26,378
We'll, we'll talk more about
some of these terms that may not

220
00:11:26,434 --> 00:11:29,354
necessarily be listed in Scripture.

221
00:11:29,402 --> 00:11:30,906
So, so that's where some
people get nervous.

222
00:11:30,938 --> 00:11:35,202
They say, well, show me in the
Bible where it says the word incarnation.

223
00:11:35,266 --> 00:11:39,058
Well, you know, there are
certain elements of, of the teaching

224
00:11:39,074 --> 00:11:42,914
of God that we don't see a
word, but we see the elements of

225
00:11:42,922 --> 00:11:44,146
that teaching throughout Scripture.

226
00:11:44,178 --> 00:11:46,990
And so we, we tag a word onto
it to describe it.

227
00:11:47,530 --> 00:11:50,994
So like I used at the very
beginning as an example of the Trinity,

228
00:11:51,042 --> 00:11:52,322
you don't see the word Trinity in.

229
00:11:52,346 --> 00:11:53,986
Scripture, but you definitely
see the teaching.

230
00:11:54,018 --> 00:11:54,990
Of it all over.

231
00:11:55,370 --> 00:11:57,106
And, and so that's the same
thing with the Incarnation.

232
00:11:57,138 --> 00:11:59,502
So we're going to talk about
some of these words and what they

233
00:11:59,526 --> 00:12:01,102
mean and why we should know them.

234
00:12:01,206 --> 00:12:02,974
So, because sometimes people
say, well, why do I need to know

235
00:12:02,982 --> 00:12:03,102
that?

236
00:12:03,126 --> 00:12:05,210
Like what, why is that
important to me?

237
00:12:05,670 --> 00:12:08,958
Well, that specifically in
incarnation, the reason why that's

238
00:12:08,974 --> 00:12:12,142
important is because when
other people come along and teach

239
00:12:12,206 --> 00:12:18,990
things that are against that
biblical teaching, we're able to

240
00:12:19,030 --> 00:12:23,566
identify the wrong teaching
and we're able to correct it in the

241
00:12:23,638 --> 00:12:24,610
word of God?

242
00:12:24,970 --> 00:12:28,018
So you would say, like, where
do I go to try to correct someone

243
00:12:28,074 --> 00:12:33,122
who doesn't understand the
deity of Christ or the humanity of

244
00:12:33,146 --> 00:12:35,618
Christ, the incarnation,
hypostatic union.

245
00:12:35,794 --> 00:12:38,910
I would think a great place to
go would be John chapter one.

246
00:12:39,290 --> 00:12:42,610
Now, again, we have to be
careful with proof texting, but in

247
00:12:42,650 --> 00:12:44,082
context, read John chapter one.

248
00:12:44,106 --> 00:12:48,626
And I think it very clearly
explains Jesus's hypostatic union.

249
00:12:48,658 --> 00:12:50,212
100 God, 100% man.

250
00:12:50,306 --> 00:12:53,660
Not 50, 50, but 100 and 100.

251
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:58,096
And I think really, if you've
just read all the Gospels, Matthew,

252
00:12:58,128 --> 00:13:04,080
Mark, Luke, John, you can see
Jesus and his and his character holding

253
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,264
both aspects of God and man.

254
00:13:07,432 --> 00:13:09,620
The Son of man, the Son of God.

255
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,576
So I think that that's it,
that that would be important.

256
00:13:12,648 --> 00:13:15,296
So, so pointing folks to the Gospels.

257
00:13:15,408 --> 00:13:18,752
But even if you look at most
of the New Testament, you, you can

258
00:13:18,776 --> 00:13:24,180
understand these things by
just reading and by just comprehending

259
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,580
what God has told us about himself.

260
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,416
So there's a start, there's
our start to talking about different

261
00:13:30,488 --> 00:13:34,208
theological truths that
sometimes get confused and so incarnation.

262
00:13:34,304 --> 00:13:38,464
And we'll talk more about some
of these different terms here in

263
00:13:38,472 --> 00:13:39,008
the near future.

264
00:13:39,064 --> 00:13:40,784
So I hope that this has been a
blessing for you.

265
00:13:40,872 --> 00:13:43,648
If you want to take with you a
scripture reading, I would read John

266
00:13:43,704 --> 00:13:44,320
Chapter one.

267
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,806
That would be a great place to
start when it comes to, to talking

268
00:13:47,838 --> 00:13:48,766
about this topic.

269
00:13:48,878 --> 00:13:49,262
All right.

270
00:13:49,286 --> 00:13:51,262
Well, I hope you have a
fantastic week.

271
00:13:51,366 --> 00:13:54,494
We will be coming back next
week with another Word of the Week

272
00:13:54,582 --> 00:13:56,542
and I hope that this has been
beneficial for you.

273
00:13:56,566 --> 00:14:01,486
I hope that you can share this
with other people around you, family,

274
00:14:01,558 --> 00:14:06,446
friends, coworkers, whoever
that you might think would benefit

275
00:14:06,478 --> 00:14:08,734
from studying these words that
we find in Scripture.

276
00:14:08,782 --> 00:14:09,982
All right, God bless you.

277
00:14:10,086 --> 00:14:10,590
Take care.

278
00:14:10,630 --> 00:14:13,326
We will hopefully be back
soon, Lord willing.

279
00:14:13,358 --> 00:14:14,368
God, God bless.
