Now let's turn back to Hebrews
chapter 2. There are several things I want to
try to bring out this morning on this subject entitled, So
Great Salvation. And that title is taken up from
verse 3 of chapter 2 of the book of Hebrews. The Apostle Paul, inspired by
the Holy Spirit, writes, how shall we escape? And what he's
talking about there is escaping the wrath of God. How shall we
escape? We who deserve God's wrath. We
who have earned God's wrath. How shall we escape if we neglect? Notice the word neglect. If we
just neglect so great salvation. Salvation. It's not a very big
word as far as the number of letters in it, but it is a huge
word in the scripture. A big, big word in the scripture. And what I'm referring to is
as to its meaning, its implications, its particulars. There's no way
we could exhaust that subject in one message. But salvation,
this salvation that is revealed in this book we could call this
book the book of salvation it includes everything salvation
includes everything that God does for and in his people in
and by the Lord Jesus Christ and everything he freely gives
that's one thing this book teaches that salvation Whatever it is,
it's a free gift. A free gift to people who don't
deserve it. Sinners. And so it includes everything
God freely gives his people in the way of eternal life, spiritual
life, and glory. Salvation includes all that we
who are saved are, all that we are, all that we have, and all
that we do as we live our lives for the glory of God in Christ.
Paul wrote in Ephesians chapter 6 and verse 17 when he was talking
about the armor of God, he said, put on the helmet of salvation. And I often wonder, well, why
did he say salvation and use it as a helmet? Well, the helmet
covers the head, protects the head, the brain, And I believe
what he's teaching there is that salvation as it is revealed in
the scripture, every aspect of it now. And you know, that's
why I don't like, you know, you hear a lot of people, religious
people, they'll profess to be Christians and they'll often
speak in this way, say, well, I got saved, or he's getting
saved, or have you got saved. I don't like that language. You
know, I know a lot of people don't know what they mean by
that. This salvation, when Paul said
put on the helmet of salvation, I believe what he's saying is
that salvation as it is revealed in this book, in every aspect
of it, is to pervade our thinking. I mean it is to control and permeate
our thoughts. uh... it's it's to establish
are thinking in every area of our lives as we live under the
glory of god in christ so that when we talk about salvation
we're not just talking about a one-time act in a person's
life where you felt bad or got religious and walked in our own
talk to a preacher down front or whatever and jumped into a
pool of water that that's not See, you often hear people, especially
when people die, and I'm not just making fun, it's sad really. You often hear people say, well,
was he a Christian? A lot of times now, in our culture,
especially in the South, they'll talk about, well, he made a profession
of faith back when. without realizing it, they're
saved. Well, that's what salvation is
to them. And if you're a good Baptist, then you believe once
saved, always saved, so it really didn't matter what he did after
that, you know, or what she did after that. And if you're a Methodist
or a Pentecostal, you say, well, you either lost her, gained her
back, or whatever, you know. And neither one of them know
the Scripture, and that's sad. But this salvation, Paul says,
how shall we escape if we neglect it? Think about that. Many people speak in terms of
salvation. They'll talk about accepting
Jesus as your personal Savior. That's salvation to them. And
then there are those who claim baptism is salvation. You know,
the word salvation, it means deliverance, being delivered
from something. But having been delivered from
something, we are also delivered to something. It's not just turning
away from something, but it's going to someone. what it is. It means help. I need help, I
need salvation. Sometimes it means health as
in a cure. In fact, a lot of people will
apply the death of Christ to physical health. I've heard a
lot of these preachers on TV, they talk about somebody getting
physically sick and they'll quote Isaiah 53 where it says, by his
stripes you're healed. Now listen to me, that's not
talking about the healing of physical ailments in Isaiah 53. He tells you what he's talking
about in Isaiah 53. And he's talking about Christ
who bore our iniquities. Christ, the chastisement of our
peace was upon him. That's peace with God. He's talking
about spiritual life there. And I know God heals people.
Sometimes he doesn't. Not physically, not in this life.
We have some of our dear brothers and sisters in Christ who are
suffering physical ailments. And I know, listen, I know God's
going to heal you. But it may be ultimate healing.
He may take you to glory. And my friend, that's permanent
healing, isn't it? That's a permanent healing. Now, He may heal you
in this life and keep you here for a while. I don't know. But
you see, we're not to take the scriptures and abuse it and misuse
it to try to give people false hope. If we do that, then old
Karl Marx was right. religion is the opiate of the
people. Well, I don't believe Karl Marx was right. I believe
most religion is. You know, actually, I do believe
that he described most religion there. Human religion is just
no more than an emotional, psychological drug that people take that makes
them feel better and helps them get through this life. Somebody
might say, well, that's not a bad thing. Well, it's not until you
die and you stand before the Lord And then you have to answer,
what is your hope of salvation? Why should God look upon me and
say, come on in, come into glory, you know? There's got to be a
good reason, got to be one that glorifies Him. So great salvation. Why is this
salvation so great? Look back at Hebrews 1, Brother
Joe read. I'll tell you why this salvation
is so great. It's so great because we're such
great sinners. That's why. Now, we don't really
know how bad it is as far as this issue of sin because we
look on the outward appearance. That's what natural man does.
That's why Christ told His disciples in John 7 and verse 24, don't
judge by outward appearance. But he said, judge righteous
judgment. Well, how can we who are sinners judge righteously?
Well, the only way is look to the Word of God, which is the
judge. But we don't really know how
bad it is until God shows us and brings us to realize how
bad it is from His Word. How sinful we are. And let me
give you, I'll just give you an idea in short for it. It says
in the Bible, That man at his best state. Now what does that
mean? Man at his best state. Isn't
that right? Is altogether what? What's the word that you use?
Anybody know? Vanity. Vanity. Now what does vanity
mean there? We sometimes use the word vanity,
talking about vain things, you know, somebody that's full of
themselves. But vanity there means worthless. Man at his best state. In other
words, the best that man can bring himself to by his own works
is worthless in the sight of God. That's how bad it is. So, you know, religion is very
good at talking about the worst dregs of society and how bad
they are and how we should avoid that, and they're right. The worst dregs of society. Do
not, you young people, don't get in with the wrong crowd. If you fall in with them, you'll
be like them. Now that's human nature, isn't
it? You get in with the drug crowd, the drinking crowd, all
of that, you'll be just like them. They'll bring, you're already
down by nature. They'll just bring you further,
they'll just bring it out in you. That's what I do. But what the Bible teaches us
is that we're such great sinners that even the best of us. The
Bible says, listen, in Romans 3 and verse 20, it says, by deeds
of law shall no flesh be justified in God's sight. That's by our
works. That's by our seeking to obey the law. We cannot be
justified. That is forgiven, declared not
guilty, righteous in God's sight. So this salvation is so great
because it's for such great sinners. Paul the apostle, who before
he was saved, was a very moral, zealous, sincere, dedicated religionist. All right? And then when God
saved him, here was his testimony. He said, this is a faithful saying
worthy of all acceptation that Jesus Christ came into the world
to save sinners of whom I am chief. And that wasn't just religious
poetry or shock statement. Paul was speaking the truth there.
He wrote that inspired by the Holy Spirit. So, that's one reason
this is so great of a salvation. But another reason, and the main
reason that it's such a great salvation is because we have
such a great Savior. Look at Hebrews chapter 1 verse
1. He says, God, who at sundry times
and in diverse manners, that's various ways, different ways,
spoke in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, We read a little
bit of it at the beginning of the service, Isaiah 12. God was
speaking by the prophet Isaiah. And this is hath in these last
days. Now the last days are the days that we're living in. It
refers to the time period, the age between the first coming
of Christ and the second coming of Christ. And so now he's spoken
unto us by his son. Now what he's saying there is
that the prophets prophesied of the future coming of Christ.
Because Christ is salvation. You see, to a child of God, Christ
and salvation are synonymous. And so he says, the prophet spoke
of the future, but now the Son of God has come. And so now he's
spoken unto us by his Son, look at verse 2, whom he hath appointed
heir of all things. Heir of all things. Now this
is God speaking of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, the second
person of the Trinity, who is God. He says that on over in
Hebrews chapter 1 there when He's quoted from Psalm 45. He says, But unto the Son, He
said, Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever. Talking to the Son,
He's co-equal with the Father and the Spirit and every attribute
of deity. But it says He appointed Him
to be heir of all things. Now that's a great inheritance,
isn't it? And then He says, He says, By whom also He made the
worlds. What a Savior! He's our Creator. In beginning was the Word, and
the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And then it says
in verse 3, Who being the brightness of His glory, that word is effulgence. What it is, is what He's saying
there is this, that Christ, the Son of God incarnate, as the
salvation of his people is the greatest manifestation of the
glory of God that has ever been, ever is, or ever will be. Think about that. Now back in
the old covenant, that's what the old writers used to call,
or still call, I think, the Shekinah glory of God, the Shekinah. You've
heard that term? Back in the Old Covenant, that
Shekinah existed among the nation Israel in the Holy of Holies,
above the mercy seat. But now that's gone. We don't
need that now. Now we have Christ. And He's
the effulgence. He is the brightness. The express
image, verse 3, the express image of His person. You look at Him,
you're seeing the face of God. That's it. In Him dwelleth all the fullness
of the Godhead bodily, and you're complete in Him. I love that. Colossians 2 and verse 9. You're
complete in Him. You see, religion tells you you're
incomplete, even with Him. Because He did all He could do,
now the rest is up to you. But the Bible, when it speaks
of this great salvation... You see, that's not such a great
salvation, because I want to tell you something, it won't
save anybody. But the Bible speaks of a great salvation like this.
In Him, you're complete. In Him, my sins are all washed
away. Now, there are people who call
themselves Christians and say, oh no, you've got to be baptized
to get that done. Well, that's not so great. Anybody
can do that. But we've got a salvation that only, only the Son of God
incarnate can accomplish. Only God can do it. Man can't
do it. And you know what's even more
tragic about it? Is man by nature doesn't want
it. And you know why man by nature doesn't want this? Because it
doesn't exalt man. It doesn't give him something
to boast in. You see, religion's good about
giving, false religion's good about giving people something
to boast about. I made a profession. I did this. I was baptized. I joined the
church. You know how it goes. You know
how it goes. But this is something that can
only be accomplished by God in human flesh. And that's why Christ
is our salvation. And He's the express image of
His person. He's the express image of God.
He is Jehovah God. And it says, upholding all things
by the word of His power. The only reason this whole universe
is existing is by His power. And it says, when He had by Himself
purged our sins. That word purged means cleansed.
It was a term that they used mainly for purging precious metals. Like they'd take gold that was
impure and they would melt it down and they would purge out
the dross. And that's what Christ did by
the shedding of His blood on the cross of Calvary. He purged
our sins. He washed them away. He cleansed
them. He paid our debt in full. our
debt to the justice of God like criminals who owe a debt to society
because they've committed a crime Christ stepped into the place
of his people and that guilt and that curse and that debt
was accounted to him charged to him imputed to him and he
paid it in full and that's the purging and in doing that he
brought forth a righteousness so that they could be accounted
righteous in Him. And we stand before God righteous.
And then it says, He sat down on the right hand of the majesty
on high. What does that mean? He sat down on the right hand
of judgment. That's what the right hand means,
judgment. In other words, God judged the father, the judge,
he judged that the work of his son was perfected, completed,
finished, for Christ is the end of the law for righteousness
to everyone that believes. What a great salvation that is.
It's the right hand of acceptance. You see, when the king back then
extended his right hand with the scepter of righteousness
in it, that means, come on, You have free access. If you came
without him extending his right hand, you were a dead person.
There's a great picture in the book of Esther about that. He
extended his right hand, the right hand of acceptance. And
why did he sit down? Because the work was done. You see, it's not that he did
all he can do, now the rest is up to you. It's he did it all. And now this whole chapter and
the whole book of Hebrews basically is going through to describe
this great salvation because it's conditioned upon and based
upon and founded upon such a great Savior. What a Savior! Hallelujah! What a Savior we
have! And so the message of biblical
evangelism is not that God is looking for a better man. Will you be that better man?
No, that's not the message of biblical evangelism. The message
of biblical evangelism is that God has found a better man, the
best man, and he is our salvation, the Lord Jesus Christ. So how
shall we escape? Look back up at chapter 2, Hebrews
2. He says, therefore, we ought
to give the more earnest heed to the things which we've heard.
We really ought to listen to this. We really ought to listen to
this. Now, by nature, we won't listen.
We know that. Scripture says it. And we know
it by experience. People have, tonight I'm going
to preach from Jeremiah chapter 5 on lying prophets and itching
ears. You know, Paul talked about that.
People have itching ears. You know what an itching ear
is? It's an ear you've got to scratch. And you know what you
scratch it with? You tell them what they want
to hear. You see, this salvation is so great because it doesn't
really tell us what we want to hear. It tells us what we need
to hear. It's like I told my Sunday school
class this morning, it's like that doctor who stands before
you and says, you have a terminal illness that will kill you. And then the next words he comes
out and he says, but there is a cure. That's what you want
to hear it. Well, my friend, we all have
a terminal illness which will kill us and it's called sin.
But there is a cure. And it's not you. And it's not
me. And it's not anything we do or
don't do or try to do or determine to do. It's all what
God has done. Somebody asked the question,
a very simple question. One time he said, well, what
do I need to be saved from? Most people say, well, we need
to be saved from hell. whatever that is in your mind.
Or they say, we need to be safe from death. We all want to live
forever. Or even sickness. We want to
be safe from sickness. Some want to say, well, we want
to be safe from poverty. There's a fellow on TV. Every
time I flip around, say he's talking about sending that seed
money in. So that's salvation to him, you know, get out of
poverty. Well, I don't want to be poor. You don't either. I
know some people even believe salvation is getting out of a
bad job. So, whatever salvation... Well, what is salvation? Well,
let me give you these vital truths about salvation. Number one,
salvation is salvation from sin. That's what it is. And that's
what we need to be saved from. You see hell? Yes, we need to
be saved from hell, but hell is the result of sin. Hell is
God's just judgment against all sin. How shall we escape? if
we neglect. Escape what? Escape the wrath
of God. Escape the judgment of God against our sins. Now, you can preach all your
life, you can cast out demons, you can do many wonderful works,
but is that going to save you from sin? The answer is no. This is a great salvation because
of a great Savior, the Lamb of God, who put away the sins of
the world through His blood. How shall we escape if we neglect
that? Christ is the only way of salvation. The Bible says all that sin comes
short of the glory of God. That means we've missed the mark.
Our best even misses the mark. What are we going to do? What
are we going to plead? We need a great Savior. The wages of
sin is death. That's what we earn. The gift
of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Salvation
is a gift. and is salvation from sin. His
name shall be called Jesus, for He shall save His people from
their sins. Christ Jesus came into the world
to save sinners, salvation from the effects and the consequences
of sin. And therefore, if you're saved
from sin, you are saved from death. Look over at 2 Timothy
chapter 1 with me, just back a few pages. If you're saved from sin, then
you're saved from death. Listen to this. 2 Timothy chapter
1 and verse 8. Paul writes to Timothy. He says,
Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord,
nor of me his prisoner. Paul was in prison when he wrote
this to Timothy. Notice he calls himself God's
prisoner. He knew he was there by the providence of God for
a purpose. That's a heck of a way to look
at it, isn't it? But that's the way it is. But
be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the
power of God, the good news of salvation. God who hath saved
us and called us with an holy calling, a calling that separated
us out from the world, that's what that means, not according
to our works, it's not of the works, it's not of the will of
men, but according to his own purpose. Now what is God's purpose
in salvation? To glorify himself. and His grace,
the free gift, which was given us in Christ Jesus when? Before
the world began. This is an eternal salvation.
What a great salvation that is. It's eternal. It's older than
the world. It was given us in Christ Jesus
before the world began. That means all of it was conditioned
on Christ. All the responsibility and the
requirements of it were put upon Him to save me from my sins. And then it says in verse 10,
but is now made manifest by the appearing of our Savior Jesus
Christ. He's come into the world. He's accomplished in time what
God purposed before time and then who hath abolished death
and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.
You want eternal life? Then don't neglect this great
salvation. That's his resurrection from
the dead. He finished it. So salvation. Salvation. It's a great salvation. It's
from sin. Secondly, salvation is of the Lord. It's not of man. Jonah said that. That's Jonah
chapter 2 and verse 9 when he was vomited up by the whale on
the shore. Somebody will argue about that,
won't they? Boy, people get down on stuff like that now. Well,
was it a whale? Was it this? Was that, you know?
And they'll get off on that. I tell you, you know what that
is? That's a neglect of the great salvation that Jonah knew. I believe it was a literal whale. I believe that he swallowed Jonah.
I believe Jonah was vomited up. Now you may make fun of me for
that or somebody may, that's okay, I don't care. But I'll
tell you what you need to be concerned with and what I need to be concerned
with. The fact that salvation is of the Lord. Salvation is of the Lord. Remember
I showed you that I think last week. Back over in Genesis 49.
There's something very interesting here. This is Jacob on his deathbed. His name was Israel at this time,
but the Bible does often still refer to him as Jacob because
Jacob is a sort of like a high symbol for sinners saved by the
grace of God. And so he says in verse 18 of
Genesis 49, He's blessing his sons and right
in the middle of pronouncing the blessings of his sons, he
says in verse 18, he says, I have waited for thy salvation, O Lord. Now that's the first time that
word salvation in the original Hebrew is used in the Bible.
Now that's not the first time that salvation is revealed in
the Bible. Salvation is revealed in Genesis
chapter 1. And I think I mentioned this
last week, that how the creation of the world is a type of salvation. God said, let there be, the world
was out without form and void. And then God brought it all together.
He said, let there be light. That's how God saves a sinner
spiritually. For God who commanded the light
to shine out of darkness has shined in our hearts to give
unto us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face
of Jesus Christ. Second Corinthians four, six. And so salvation is
right there. And then obviously in Genesis
3.15 when he prophesies of the woman's seed. That's the Lord
Jesus Christ. And then how he established the
sacrificial system of worship when he slew an animal and made
Adam and Eve coats of skin and took off their fig leaf robes.
Showing how salvation is by the blood and righteousness of the
promised seed of woman. It's by grace. That's a great
salvation. But here in Genesis 49, 18 is the very first time
that word salvation is used. And that word is in the Hebrew. I'll pronounce it for you. It's
Yeshua. That's what it is. Yeshua. Now that's transliterated
into a Hebrew name that we know either as Yeshua or Joshua. which means salvation. In the New Testament, the name
would be Jesus. That's what it is. The next time
you see it is in Exodus chapter 14, where Moses and the Hebrew
children are standing on the shore of the Red Sea, and Pharaoh's
army is behind them, about to get them. And they begin to murmur
and complain in their self-righteousness and their foolishness. And Moses
stands up, and he says, stand still and see the salvation of
the Lord. Yeshua. And usually when you
see that word salvation in the Old Testament, that's what it
is. It's Yeshua. It's Jesus. Jehovah, we translate
it that way too. In Isaiah 12 that I read. God,
my salvation. God, my salvation. That's Yeshua. And it's the same in Jonah 2.9.
Salvation is of the Lord. Salvation is of Christ. That's what it's teaching us.
Thirdly, salvation is all by God's grace. You know, man has devised only
two ways of salvation and they're both deadly. They're both failures. Not so great. The first way is
totally by works. You can get there by good works.
Well, that's deadly. Salvation is not by works, for
by grace are you saved. Through faith, that not of yourselves,
it's the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast. The second way that man has devised
is partially by works with the help of God. Some people might
describe that as a mixture of grace and works. Well, that doesn't
work either. Paul wrote about that in Romans
11. He said it can't be of works and be of grace too. If it's
of works, it's all of works. If it's grace, it's all of grace.
The two will not mix. Salvation is a free gift from
God. It comes to people who don't
earn it and cannot earn it and don't deserve it. It's for sinners. I told you about that last week.
I think when I heard the preacher say that God is looking for a
better man. Well, when Christ found Saul
of Tarsus on the road to Damascus, was he looking for a better man
then? Because that man was on his way to wipe the name of Jesus
of Nazareth off the face of the earth. That's what he wanted
to do. He didn't have the Holy Spirit
tugging at his heart strings. But God stopped him and put him
in the dust. And yes, he became a changed
man by the power of God. But it was through the only one
better man, the best man, the God man, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Salvation is all of grace. It's not of words. You put conditions
on the sinner for salvation, you've destroyed grace. You've
denied grace. And then fourthly, salvation
is based upon righteousness. Look over at Romans chapter 5.
Now this is why it's such a great
salvation. Do you ever consider it that
way? You know, in order to be saved, you've got to have a righteousness
that answers the demands of God's law and justice. And you think about this. Look
at verse 20. of Romans chapter 5. He says, moreover, the law entered
that the offense might abound. Now that's why the law was given,
that the offense might abound. In other words, when you go to
a doctor and you've got a pain inside, why does he take an x-ray
or give you an MRI? So they can see what's inside
and what's wrong. And that's why the law was given.
It was given to expose how abounding sin is in us and of us. The whole picture there, the
offense might abound, is like drowning in a sea of sin. Man's
not just somebody who made a few mistakes, folks. We're sinners. And the law exposes the reality
of that, how sinful we are. But he says, but where sin abounded,
grace did much more abound. Somebody who says, well, I'm
too sinful to be saved, needs to read this verse. You know what your problem is?
It's not that you're too sinful. Your problem is you don't believe
God. But he says in verse 20, that
as sin hath reigned unto death, that's what sin's going to bring,
death, even so might grace reign through what? Look at it. Righteousness. That's perfect satisfaction to
God's law and justice. Now how's that going to take
place? By you accepting Jesus as your personal Savior? That
won't do it. Unto righteousness unto eternal
life by Jesus Christ our Lord. Christ is my righteousness, you
see. He's my sin bearer. My sin offering. He's the one who was made sin.
He who knew no sin for me that I might be made the righteousness
of God in Him. And you notice in Romans 1 17
there it talks about how the gospel is the revelation of the
righteousness of God. You see the gospel message doesn't
tell you how you with the help of God can make yourself righteous.
It's the revelation of what Christ has accomplished in righteousness. So salvation is established upon
righteousness. Another way of saying it, salvation
is established upon Christ. And then fifthly, salvation is
all in and by the Lord Jesus Christ. It's not God has done
all He can do. Now the rest is up to you. Christ
is not a bridge for you to cross. He doesn't bridge the gap. Christ
fills it all and brings you across. That's what he does. It's all
of the Lord, you see. It's of the Lord in its origin,
in its beginning, in its planning. God is the first cause. Man is
the responder. You see, God's not the responder
in salvation. Man is. It's of the Lord in its accomplishment.
God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
to redeem them that were under the law. It's of God in its application. It's not of the will of man,
nor it's not of him that runneth, nor of him that willeth, but
of God that shows mercy. It's of God in its sustaining.
He saves us and keeps us. That's a great salvation. One
that not only saves me, but keeps me. I'll tell you something. Salvation,
whatever you have in your mind is salvation. If you can lose
it, you will lose it. You already have lost it. And if you don't believe that,
you probably already lost it because I've just probably made
you mad. Isn't that the way it goes? I had a lady down, dear
sister in Christ, now, what are you talking about? You know,
we're all miracles of grace if we're saved, aren't we? But there
was a lady down there, she said that when her husband first started
bringing her to church, she'd sit there and she had images
in her mind of shooting me with a shotgun. I said, well, you lost all your
holiness coming to church then, didn't you? You had murder on
your mind. And all I was doing was just
telling her about this great salvation. You see, it's of God in its ultimate
completion and perfection. What did Christ say? All that
the Father giveth me shall come to me, and him that cometh to
me I will in no wise cast out. This is the will of him that
sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing,
but raise it up again at the last day. That's that great salvation.
And that's what he's saying over here in Hebrews. He says don't
neglect it. You know the image here in Hebrews 2. is a people
just drifting on by, going about their daily lives. Let me read
it and I'll close. Verse 1, chapter 2. He says, Therefore we ought
to give them more earnest heed to the things which we've heard,
lest at any time we should let them slip. That we should just
drift on by, literally is what it is. Don't just drift on by. I know there are a lot of things
that grab your attention today, that are in competition for your
attention. The things you need to give attention
to. Your families, your jobs, things like that. There's nothing
wrong with that. I mean, those are gifts from God, aren't they?
And the person who neglects those things completely is worse than
an infidel, the scripture says. But oh, I'm going to tell you
something. There's nothing more important for you and for me
than this great salvation. Nothing more important. And that
includes for our children. Nothing more important than this.
