All righty. If you will turn
back to Phi Lehman. I wanted to thank you all. It's
a couple years too late. I don't know who in all was involved. Thank you all today. Eric for
leading the service and the singing and Katie for playing and thank
you all for singing. I like to sing and why can't
you hear me? and I can just. I worry about being embarrassed
or offended anybody but- I was born to thank you all- Joe during
Kobe to put on that him saying and he put it on you too. And
I have that saved. I was more hot does good. I was thankful and thank you
all for supporting him so he's able to do it whoever it was
it did whatever. Thank you it's still I wanted to mention, too, I was
bragging on how easy of a trip to a friend of mine. I said,
yeah, I'm going up to Rock Valley. I said, oh, it's easy. I said,
you go to Dallas, have a nice little, just long enough to get
you some lunch, you're not in a rush, and then just zip right
up to Sioux Falls. Easy peasy. If the Lord wills,
that's what'll happen, right? I wanted to look at Philemon.
I remember the first time I heard one of my friends actually preach
from this fellow pastor. If I could say it verbatim, if
I could say every word that he said to the T, I would. Oh, it's precious to me. I've
tried preaching this four or five times now. I can't ever
get my notes right and I hope it'll be precious to you as it's
precious to me. And I'm going to do the best
I can not to cry during it, okay? You feel free to, but I'm going
to try not to. But here at Philemon, this is one of my favorite 66
books, but Philemon's Not often quoted or looked to. You know,
if someone said, I'm really struggling with believing God, and I just
feel like I have no faith. You don't say, well, let's turn
to Philemon. Remember what Paul wrote to Philemon? Or, you know,
my marriage is really having problems. How should I treat
my spouse? Or how should I treat my children?
My business is, I'm having trouble. I don't want to go to work. I
don't like my boss. You don't say, well, let's go
to Philemon, do we? It'd be good if we did. There's things we can learn from
this. Like I said before, last message,
this is a bifocal text. We can learn from this. But there's
a spiritual lesson. This is something that physically
took place that teaches us of spiritual matters. It does. If all we get is a lesson in
interpersonal communications and conflict resolution, you
can get that from a book down at the library. and we'll have
no eternal good for us, but if we see that Christ has reconciled
us to the Father, and that's on our mind, Christ, Christ,
Christ, Christ, Christ, all day. Now, all of a sudden, well, it
ain't that bad to go to work. He gave me that boss, and it
ain't, the election's gonna be okay, and this is, me and my
spouse can reconcile, and the children, the Lord gave me pretty
good children and wisdom to, all that stuff falls into place.
The particulars don't matter. the principle does, and I pray
he'll show us that today. I want to look through this first,
just tell you the story. There's three main characters
in what we just read here in Philemon. Who's speaking? We looked at last hour. Paul
is writing this, isn't it? This is Paul's dictating this. To whom? He's talking to Philemon. Philemon was a wealthy man in
Colossae. And that's what the book of Colossians
is to. He was there in Colossians. He was wealthy enough to have
some servants. He had some hired help in the house. And he had
a house big enough that the church met in his home. And he was a
faithful man in the gospel and loved the brethren and did what
he could to further the gospel. But Paul was writing to Philemon.
But who is this about? It's concerning somebody. It's
concerning Onesimus. Onesimus. Philemon, it says there
in verse one and two, said, Paul, prisoner of Jesus Christ and
Timothy, our brother, unto Philemon, he was a dearly beloved brother,
and fellow laborer, he preached some. And to beloved Aphia, they
think that was Philemon's wife. And Archippus, our fellow soldier,
that was the pastor in Colossae. And to the church in thy house,
that church they met in Philemon's home. verse five it says, hearing
of thy love and faith which thou hast towards the Lord Jesus and
towards all saints. All saints. We, this echoes through,
you've heard about that and I've heard of you. I've heard about
the brethren in Rock Valley and how faithful they were and how
loving they were. And somebody sent me a letter or whatever
it would be. And you've heard of others. And that's the same
with Philemon here. How did that love begin? How was that seed planted in
Philemon? Paul preached to him. When Paul was in Colossae, he
preached, and through Paul's preaching, the Lord saved Philemon.
Look here in verse 19. Paul says, I have written it
with mine own hand. I will repay it. Albeit, I do not say to thee
how thou owest unto me even thine own self besides. Paul's telling
him, he says, what I'm asking you, I could just, he says in
another verse, I could just make you do it. We're commanded to
love one another. you know what it's like having
children or being a child, and my mom, she said, if y'all don't
start getting along, I'll make you hug. And me and my siblings,
we might hug, but you're trying to choke them while you're hugging
them. It don't work too well. But Paul
said, don't you forget, he said, I preached the gospel to you.
That's how you heard this. That's why that loves you. The
Lord's worked in you through this. He's reminding me of it.
And he's telling here about Onesimus, look at verse 10. He said, I
beseech thee for my son, Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds.
He said, Onesimus has heard the gospel. There's a new creation
in him, and I preach to him. That's like my son. The Lord
used me to just tell him about Christ, and the Lord blessed
that. And he said, which in time past to thee was unprofitable,
but now is profitable to thee and to me. He was a debt. He
was unprofitable. He didn't give you profit. He
took profits away from you. He is in debt. In verse 18, he
said, if he's wronged thee, or oweth thee aught, put it on my
account. He said, put it in my account.
I said, put it on. He'd done something wrong, and
he'd run away. He was a slave. He was a servant
of Philemon, Onesimus was. And he probably stole something,
or he did something wrong, or broke something, and he took
off. And he was Philemon's property. He wasn't allowed to do that.
We can learn from that, too. He run away, left by Lehman. and he traveled a long way from
Colossi down to Rome. Paul was in prison for two years.
He was locked up there. The Lord sent him an armored
escort to bring him to a house in Rome, and then gave him a
protector, a Roman soldier out there to guard him while he preached
to people, whoever come by. He was on house arrest. And this
servant, Onesimus, had made it down to Rome, and probably just
like that prodigal son, wasted whatever he had or stole, or
he burnt through what he had. And he had heard about this fellow
Paul preaching, and he said, and he was a good master all
that was in his influence he made them go to services and
made them, and he said, I remember that name, I remember that guy
coming to the house, he's kind to me, maybe he can help me out,
I'm in trouble, and so he's went over somehow and he got linked
up with Paul, and when he met Paul, Paul preached the gospel
to him, he had one message, the only one thing worth talking
about, and the Lord saved Onesimus, and this is about two year period, What had he done? Did he steal,
or did he wrong Philemon? Paul didn't know. Get a hold of that. Paul and
I, I've sinned against God. Let me tell you what I did wrong.
He said, I don't want to hear it, it don't matter. He says
there, it says, if he hath wronged thee, of course he wronged him,
or Oath the ought. Paul didn't know if he wronged
him or owed him. He never asked, didn't want to know. We can learn
from that, can't we? And Paul here in verse one, it
says he's rotten from prison. Paul, prisoner of Jesus Christ.
He was there under the order of the Romans. He was there by their law, and
he was by their power, and he was put there, and he was protected
there. But it wasn't that, was it? He said, I'm Christ's prisoner. One of them saints of old there
in England, they put him in prison for preaching. I can't remember
if it was Bunyan or who, He wouldn't say, I'm writing from the jail.
He said, I'm writing from the Lord's palace in Aberdeen. Lord
put me here. Lord sustained. This is an apostle. Paul was a preacher and he taught,
but this is one of God's apostles here. That's who's writing to
us. That's who's writing to Philemon. And we remember this, this old
Nesmus wronged Philemon, his master. He comes to Paul, Paul's
preaching to him. That's the answer to everything.
Christ and Him crucified. Whether it's family problems,
health problems, it don't matter. That's it. Just keep telling
about Him. Keep telling about Him. And the
Lord used that, saves on Esther's, and now, Paul said, I'd keep
Him. I'd have Him here with me. He could serve me, minister to
me. I need the help. He did need the help. He can
take care of other things that I don't have time to do, so I
can keep studying. I can stay in the Word. I can keep preaching
what time the Lord has me here in His palace in Rome. But it's right
for him to go home. He needs to go back to Philemon.
He needs to go back to where he first started out. Return
home. And so Paul writes this letter
to Philemon, saying, Lord, save this one receiving. Receiving.
He was a runaway. And now it's time to run home. I told you that there's three
main characters in this, is Paul, writing to Philemon concerning
Onesimus, right? And we can learn a lot from that.
We can learn how to deal with one another and we can be humble
to it, see Paul's humility. Where's the gospel in this? Where's
the gospel in this? This is 25 verses. It's only
14 sentences, but it's broke up in 25 verses. And in that,
Onesimus is mentioned two times. Philemon's name is mentioned
two times. The Lord Jesus Christ's name
is mentioned 10 times. Now, who do you think this is
about? Now, it concerns us. It does. This is concerning the
Lord Jesus Christ. This is about him. I'll give
you them three characters again. We'll look through this. I want
you to read it. And like we looked at the first, I said, this is
kind of part two. We see the work of the Son and the sacrifice
of the Son and the blood of the Son as our representative and
our redemption. And then we see the work, not
as much in Philemon, we see the work of God, the Holy Spirit
coming and illuminating through that word preached to his people.
And then we see that prodigal son, the one that willfully went
away, the one that was like a coin dead in the darkness and the
dirt, coming home to the Father, nervous, We wronged him, we sinned
against God, and then that father gladly and with joy receiving
that son to him. So with that remembering, let's
see Paul here writing to Philemon. Paul's a picture here of the
Lord Jesus Christ interceding on our behalf. That's character
one, Paul's the Lord Jesus Christ. Two, Philemon, that's who he's
writing to, that's God the father. This is the one we've wronged.
This is the one we stole from. This is the one we willingly
and with a plan ran away from. Didn't want nothing to do, just
hide your face and run. Let the rocks and the mountains
fall on us. Get away from it. And this concerns Onesimus. Sinners saved by grace. That's
what this is. The God of salvation came to
him. put him right where he wanted,
like our brother raised about, and lured us to the wilderness,
hedged us about, and got us right where he wanted us, and then
shed that light abroad in our hearts. That concerns us. This is two Philemon about Onesimus,
but this is about every child that was ever born to God. This
is personal. This is individual. That's what this is. Now, if we look through this, And
we'd go to this, say we was in time of trouble, and we had trouble
at work, or we had health problems, we had family problems. Go follow
him. Why? Because it's going to be
Christ, Christ, Christ. That's why. There's an old preacher
in West Virginia. I'm sure you've heard of him,
Scott Richardson. And this lady had come to him and been there
for a while, six months or so, listening. She brought her husband.
And she got mad at Scott. And she was leaving one day.
And she said, I'm so frustrated with you. And he said, why? And
she said, every time you get in that pulpit, you just preach
Christ, Christ, Christ. And he said, would you do me
a favor? And she said, what? He said, when I die, make sure they put
that on my tombstone. All he preached was Christ, Christ.
I don't think they did that. Good story, though, wasn't it?
Let's read this with our gospel glasses on, through that lens
of the truth. And let's see Christ speaking
to the Father on our behalf. Okay, look here in verse one.
Paul, a prisoner of the Lord Jesus Christ, and Timothy, our
brother, and to Philemon, our dearly beloved and fellow laborer.
They're one, wasn't they? And to our beloved Aphia, to
your bride, to your wife, to your, this is to the Father,
we get to listen in. We're listening in right now.
This is to us. And to Archippus, our fellow
soldier, and to the church in my house, This is your property. This is the Lord's house, isn't
it? Grace to you and peace from God
our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. That was the salutation,
the greeting. Father, Christ is speaking on
our behalf and here's how he begins. Grace. Peace. Don't you want that? I want that for you. I want that,
I'm selfish. I want that for me too. I want
the Lord to be gracious to me and merciful to me, and I want
him to give me peace. And I want him to give you peace. Be gracious
in it. He says, I thank my God, making
mention of thee always in my prayers. He's praying here. He's
telling what his prayer is. Hearing of thy love and faith.
I heard about your love. That's what we declare, the love
of God. Not our love towards him, but him that first loved
us. And your faith, not well, my faith is strong. The object
of my faith is strong. My faith is he's the faithful
one. That's what it is. And when we don't have enough
sense to pray that ourselves, intercessions made with groanings
which can't be uttered. We don't know what to pray. And
we pray things and then the spirit intercedes and says, here's what
he meant, Lord. I'm thankful for that. Hear of thy love and
faith which thou hast towards the Lord Jesus and towards all
the saints. that the communication of our faith may be effectual
by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in
Christ Jesus. We see the Lord's love, it does
something. His faithfulness does something.
It's communicated. It's paid. That's what it is.
It's given. He does it with it. For we have
great joy and consolation in thy love. Because the bowels
of the saints, the hearts of the saints are refreshed by thee,
brother. Father, we thank you for the
love that you've bestowed on us in Christ. And our hearts
overflow with that. It does. Now remember, this is
Paul writing to Philemon as a pardon letter for Ebnesimus, right?
And this is Christ speaking to the Father. Praising him, honoring
him. you can go to keep his long and
have him on his mind at all times before were brought up and I
thought to Paul here physically a prior series telephone even
of his prayer in a good if you have if you have some conflict
resolution if if two believers are there at all it's your talk
about our apple before we do that was right I hear a lot of people, I have
two, where two or three are gathered in his name, he's there with
them. What's the context of that? The Lord was saying whenever
you got a brother that's wronged you, you need to go talk to him.
But before you talk to him, before y'all have it out, you remember
I'm there with you. If you're gathered together to
sort this conflict out, I'm standing there with you, I'm with you
always. What are we gonna argue about? If you liked a different brand
truck than I did, or you wanted to eat at a different restaurant,
I don't think that matters, does it? If you wrecked into my vehicle,
it's okay. The Lord's with us. It's a good
way to do it, isn't it? It goes on, verse eight. Wherefore,
though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which
is convenient. I could make, Paul's saying to
Philemon, I could make you do this. God commanded us to love
one another, not do it. I could do that. Yet for love's
sake, not out of legality, cause of love, I rather beseech thee
being such one as Paul the age. Paul grew and knew something,
didn't he? Now also a prisoner of the Lord
Jesus Christ. He said, I could command you to do this, to accept
this servant back because the Lord saved him, but I ain't gonna
do that. You do this for love's sake.
I'm beseeching you in your heart. I'm speaking to your heart. in
a good news if the father received us just as well legally standing
we know I must accept this new grits is taken lessons in whom I begotten in my bonds,
who was born, he begot him in his bonds. Christ was bound on
this earth, wasn't he? Because of his stripes, we're
healed. He said, I've suffered for this, I've done this, and
life's in this one. That's what Christ speaks to
the Father for us, which in time past today was unprofitable. Conceived in sin from the woman
speaking lies, I ain't no servant. I'm nothing but a debt. I have
a sin debt. I'm in the negatives. But now,
profitable to thee and to me. Now there's a son involved, there's
a brother involved, there's family in it, new life. Whom I have
sent again. Thou therefore receive him that
is mine own bowels. How are we received by God the
Father? We're received in the beloved,
aren't we? He said, in my heart. He's in me, and I'm in them.
That's what he's saying. Whom I would have retained with
me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the
bonds of the gospel. That's humility of Paul, isn't
it? He said, I could have kept him here. I could have used him.
But look here. But without thy mind would I
do nothing. Paul's telling Philemon, he said, I could just keep him,
I didn't have to say nothing to you. He said, but I want you
to be agreeable to this. Without your opinion, without
your input, I wouldn't do this. How did Christ teach us to pray?
Father, thy will be done. That's what we have for our preferences,
don't we? I hope I get home on time, my flight ain't missed,
and that'd be nice. Lord, you got all things right.
Without your will, I don't want anything to happen. That thy
benefit should not be, as it were, of necessity, but willing.
I don't want a kinsman redeemer that has to come marry me. You
want your children to get married to a spouse that has to marry
them? No, I want it willing, for love's sake. For perhaps
he therefore departed for a season, that thou should receivest him
forever. and Paul speaking of filing as
one believer speaks, maybe this happened in the following away And we see what we are, and we're
like that valley of dry bones. Those bones were fine. They wouldn't
say nothing. And when they had life breathing
them and sinew was put on them, and now they're up and moving,
what'd they say? Oh, we're going to die. You's dead anyway. Now we have life in us. We're
concerned of those things, isn't it? But we go through that process.
Why? we're thankful to the father
for purpose in this we're thankful for the sun for performing and
we're thankful for the holy ghost that comes to us And looking back, hindsight,
we said, boys, Lord worked these things together for good, didn't
he? Now as a servant, verse 16, but above a servant. Not now
as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved. He don't just
return. We left that garden in Adam.
Adam failed. Adam wasn't holy. Adam was morally
innocent. He just hadn't sinned yet. When
we go to be with Christ in glory, it's not that the slate's washed
clean again, and we're back to there's no debt. We're gonna
be holy, we're gonna be made like Him, and we won't have the
ability to sin. This is sweeter than it was in
the garden. It's gonna be way better. Not
now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, especially
to me. But how much more unto thee,
both in the flesh and in the Lord. This is a precious thing. Christ, all heaven rejoices,
the whole host of heaven. He laid down his life willingly
because it was precious to him. And the Father was pleased in
the Son, and we're in Him. If thou count me therefore a
partner. Here's the stipulation of all
this. This is that covenant of grace. Christ speaks to the Father. He said, if we're one, and the
Son and the Father are one, aren't they? He says, I and my Father
are one. If we're one, you receive this
unprofitable slave. nothing. You receive him just
like it is me walking in their house. Same, same. Flesh and blood. He says verse 18, if he's wrong
thee, or oh if thee ought, put it on my count. What won't a believer do? We don't, should we sin more
that grace may abound? God forbid. We know better than
that. But do you ever wake up in the
morning, if the Lord's worked in you, and you look in the mirror and
you had your dreams or your thoughts or whatever, and you say, how
in the world could God love a person like me? How? And he says, you're mine. I don't
care what it is. It's paid. Do you owe me? I owe him and
I did him wrong. Well, that's put away. As far as the East is from the
West. It's put away. Hmm. I, Paul, have written it
with my own hand. I will repay it. This wasn't
Onesimus' pretty pleased pinky promise, was it? Paul said, I'm
saying this. And that's important between
Paul and Philemon about some slave on this earth, right? But
this is Christ saying it to the Father. It says in the scriptures,
he trusteth not his saints. Ain't that good? I was talking
to a brother one time, and he said, I just don't trust myself.
I said, you shouldn't. God don't trust you. He trusts
his son. And we're in him. That's good, isn't it? I, Paul,
have written of mine own hand. I will repay it. Albeit, I do
not say how thou owest unto me, even thine own self. Besides,
we are one. And there's holiness involved.
This isn't some backdoor deal. Yea, brother, let me have joy
in thee and the Lord. Refresh my bowels in the Lord.
Having confidence of thy obedience, I wrote unto thee, knowing that
thou wouldst do more than I say." What has the Father done? Like,
well, this is what was required, and now we're allowed into glory,
and we get to go to heaven when we die. Sin's been put away.
He's abundant in mercy, isn't He? Just more exceedingly, He
abounds towards us than we could ever think, ever. And that's
just what we see in this life. We know that. What's glory going
to be like? What's life without sin for eternity
going to be like? What's it going to be like in
His presence to sing His praises and know Him as He knows us?
Paul said words. We don't have words in our language
that can tell you what this is like. He went above and beyond,
as we say. He knows that. There was a time
in my life, I mean, I was telling some folks here, I said, I was
such a good teenager. I was so wonderful. My parents
let me go to military school. Can you believe that? I was kind
of ornery. That's what I was. And I ran
away from home in 1995. I was 15 years old. And I was
gone for about a week, and there was police involved. I was out
looking for snow. I finally found it. A big snowstorm came the
night we left. Of course, it snowed like a foot and a half,
and it was misery. I ended up with hypothermia.
Anywho, a couple weeks passed by, and I was brought home and
thought my dad was going to hit me. When he saw me at that police
station, he came up and hugged me real hard. Maybe he's going
to choke me now. And anyway, time passed, and
we had to go back to church. Sunday rolled around. And I didn't
want to go face Brother Henry. And I didn't want to face some
people that were taught in my Sunday school class. And I didn't want
to face some kids that was my age that sat on a pew next to
me. I didn't want to go there. And you talk about hanging your
head down. I was ashamed. And I knew it. I knew it. It
was right for me to be ashamed. What I did was wrong. And I had
my head hung down. And you know what happened? They
let me come in, but they gave me a stern look. No, above and
beyond. They said, hey, you going to
cut my grass next summer when spring rolls around? Hey, how'd
that one thing you had, that project you was working, is your
four-wheeler still running? Did you get a deer this year? Just chit-chatting
like it was nothing, just accepting me and loved me right back. And
that was here on this earth. Across the intercession, imagine
what glory is going to be like. We can. I look forward to it. But with all, prepare me, verse
22, also a lodging, for I trust that through your prayers, I
shall be given unto you to be with him. Lord, I pray
that where I am, they may be there also. Prayer's a powerful
thing. We ought to pray. We do, but
we ought to. This is just Paul talking to
Philemon. He said, you pray, I get out of prison, I come to
stay with you. I can come visit and hang out with you at your
house. We ought to ask the Lord for everything, shouldn't we? There, salute thee, Ephraus,
my fellow prisoner in Christ. Marcus, that's John Mark, Barnum's
nephew, wrote the book of Mark. Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my
fellow laborers, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with
you, be with your spirit, amen. That's a precious thing, isn't
it? I don't know about your Bible. In my study Bible, it's written
in it. It's not in this one, so I hand wrote it in. But in
most Bibles, there's a footnote. There's a footnote at the end
of the book of Philemon. And it says, written from Rome,
of the five Ws, that's where it took place, didn't it? Paul
wrote it. To Philemon, that's to who it was to. Paul was dictating
it. By Onesimus, a servant. Lord saved the eye doctor one
time. He said, everything I could see, Paul probably had cataracts,
like severe cataracts. He said, look what a big letter
I wrote. Well, it wasn't that it was long in quantity, but
he wrote a real big letter. He couldn't hardly see. And so
he'd have somebody, he would dictate, he would say it, but
somebody else would be the hand that penned it, that wrote it
down. Who wrote this letter to Philemon? Onesimus did. You get that? He was sitting
there writing. You think he changed anything?
Paul said, I beseech you for my son. He said, in times past,
he was unprofitable. That's right. You're right, Paul. That's what I was. He said, he
stole from you. He wronged you. Everything he
did was wrong. And he didn't change his ways.
He didn't do better and turn his life around. Now he's profitable
because God's worked in him. That's right, that's right, Paul.
That's exactly what happened. He told the truth, didn't he?
He witnessed what he saw. He just told it, told it as he
saw it. But just as Paul said it, Onesimus wrote everything
down. He's the one that penned it.
Now, why was all this taking place? Well, Onesimus was a slave.
He comes there, the Lord saves him. Paul writes this letter
to Philemon. Why? So Philemon will receive
him. That's what physically took place,
wasn't it? Physically, this is what happened. And so this slave,
runaway slave, Onesimus, goes to Philemon and says, here, read this. Well, Philemon seems
like a very patient man. But where have you been? That's
what I'll be afraid of. What do you have to say for yourself,
Onesimus? I have nothing to say. Read this. Read this. This is my pardon
letter. Well, how long did it take you? I ain't saying nothing.
Read it. I don't want any communication. You read this letter from Paul
to you, and then we'll talk. Remember the characters? Paul's a picture of Christ. Philemon's
a picture of the Father. We are a picture of Onesimus.
You die and you go to judgment. That's the point where man wants
to die and then to judgment. What do you got to say for yourself?
What do I have to say for myself? Hear what Christ had to say.
Like old Scott preached, Christ, Christ, Christ. Don't look to
me, look to him. Don't listen to me, you listen
to him. Don't look at my merit or anything I've done, you look
at his merit and everything he's done. Don't look at what I did, look
at what he's finished. Him. That old hymn writer said, my
hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness.
I dare not trust the sweetest frame. I don't care the best
story, the best structure, the thing to lean on. I don't care
how sweet it is. I don't trust in any of it, but
I wholly lean on His name. On Christ the solid rock I stand.
Everything else is sinking sand. I hope that was precious to you.
I pray that if you're a servant, a runaway slave, it ain't worth
nothing, and the Lord's worked in, have that confidence. It
ain't what I think, say, did, nothing about me. I agree to
that letter that was penned on my account, and I solely rest
on the word of Him. and his doing. I pray you do
too. So thank you for having me. I appreciate coming up here
and thank you for your time. And Lord willing, we'll get a
visit some after and I'll see you again. So thank you.
