Matthew chapter six and if you go to verse 19, Matthew
chapter six and verse 19. Our thoughts this evening are
going to circle around verse 21. For where your treasure is,
there will your heart be also. But let's read from verse 19. Lay not up for yourselves treasures
upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves
break through and steal. But lay up for yourselves treasures
in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where
thieves do not break through nor steal. For where your treasure
is, there will your heart be also. The light of the body is
the eye. If therefore thine eye be single,
thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be
evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore
the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness. Amen. May God bless to us this
short and meaningful reading from his word. Our blessed saviour left his
people many provoking and challenging statements. I wonder if you've
ever just thought how profound the words were that fell from
the Lord's mouth. How is it that a man, if indeed
he be even a mere man, living all those years ago in such a
backward place without the benefit of education and wisdom and the
wise men, was able to say so many profound things, so many
things which have resonated in the hearts and minds of men and
women of every age and every part of the world ever since. The Lord Jesus Christ was unique
in the way in which he brought the message of the gospel to
the hearts of men and women. And it betrays the fact, I'm
sure, I'm certain, it is an evidence that testifies of this fact,
that he was the God-man. He is the God-man. That it's
more than a mere mortal with all the finest intellect in the
world to be able to leave these wonderful truths to successive
generations. And amongst these fine statements
that the Lord has made, we find this one here in Matthew chapter
6, where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Such a simple little phrase and
yet it is so profound and meaningful. As I was thinking about this,
I was thinking that sometimes, and perhaps we can just sort
of share this for a moment and reflect upon it equally as we
think about this idea, but sometimes the assertions that the Lord
made, the statements that the Lord made, they don't divulge
their full meaning. their full import immediately. We can read them and we draw
some meaning from them. But then we read them later and
there's another whole depth of meaning that we hadn't seen before. And it speaks to us in a way
that surprises us. And then maybe years later, We
read those words again and they've taken on a completely different
weightiness and sweetness. They enter into our hearts with
a power and a force that we think to ourselves, is this the first
time I've ever read these words? Can it be true that this is a
verse, that this is a statement, that this is an idea that I've
been familiar with all my life and yet I've never seen this? The Lord's statements are so
transcendent that they dispense their significance, their weight,
their potency. They dispense these things over
many, many years. Sometimes it takes us to go through
a whole load of different experiences, the ups and downs of life, the
vagaries of all the challenges that we face in order to begin
to understand the significance of the words of the Lord. And
that's why there's always a reason to come with anticipation into
the Lord's house and to hear the message of the gospel. We
talk about the gospel as being the old, old story. Tell me the
old, old story. But it's ever new. It's always
new. It's always right up to date. It's always relevant. There's
something here tonight that you've never thought of before, that
you've never seen before. There's a relevancy to these
things. And this is true for every single
night we come. There's a relevancy about this
that I couldn't have understood last week, last year. But because of the changes that
happen to us in our lives, because of the experiences that we have,
these things come to us with a new meaning, a new depth, and
we're given a new understanding. One of the features of the gospel
is that it teaches us lessons that we could never get from
a school book, or we could never get at a college or a university. These things that we learn, as
it were, at the feet of Christ, these things that we learn waiting
upon him when he comes and he ministers to our hearts and he
nourishes and nurtures his people. These are truths, truths about
the world in which we live and about ourselves and the kind
of people that we are. And truths about our Saviour,
about Christ Himself, truths that take time to learn, truths
that we have to roll around in our head for a long time sometimes,
truths that sometimes it takes hardship in order to fully grasp
its meaning. And even then, we're not sure
whether we've really plumbed its depths. Loss and mourning
and sadness. can be a very difficult thing
for us to cope with and in our humanity we see just how frail
we are and we see how easy those things which are precious to
us can be taken away. But the Lord tells us to think
about what we treasure most Think about what we treasure, because
where our treasure is, there will our heart be. And maybe
it is that he has to lead us through the dark paths in order
for us to appreciate the depth and the meaning of the message
that he has for our souls. Discerning the hand of the Lord
in our lives, discerning the hand of the Lord in our lives. Let's call that providence. Let's
call it providence. It prevents us from interpreting
what might otherwise seem like random circumstances as mere
chance events. Understanding the work of God
in our lives prevents us from taking the random things of this
world and assuming that they are just chance events. Because we understand that there
is design, that there is purpose, that there is someone at work
here. making sure that the events of
our life all come together according to a purpose. Now, understanding
that, understanding the place of providence, that in turn causes
us to reflect upon the reason, the why. for these circumstances. We discern that we can't assume
that the apparently random events are indeed mere chance because
God is in control. So there must be a reason, there
must be a purpose and that causes us to reflect upon that purpose. Why has this happened? Not with
the case of men and women who know not the hand of God in their
life, but what is the Lord teaching me? What is the Lord showing
me? Why has he brought me to this
place? Not in the sense of, I wish this
had never happened, nor in the sense of, This is wrong, not
in the sense of I could have done better, but in the sense of what is the
Lord teaching me? What would the Lord have me learn
from this experience? Perhaps it's sickness, or perhaps
it's disease, or some sort of bereavement, or an accident,
or loss, or disappointment, and perhaps it's joy. Some blessing
that we've received, though unfortunately we tend to take pleasing providences
for granted and assume that they're just due to us. It's what we
deserve. And we only really assess the
hard ones and the difficult ones. So let me ask a question. Have
you had a hard time recently? Are you struggling? Are you anxious? Then let the Lord speak to your
soul in the midst of your trouble. Listen. Listen for that voice. Listen for what he's teaching
you. Listen for the lessons that he is bringing for you to learn. Search out these lessons. Seek his face. Come to where
he promises to meet his people. Pause from all of the busyness
and all of the noise and listen for his voice. Because I'll tell
you this, in the midst of your troubles, he is speaking. And
he calls us to hear his words. This is one of the challenging
statements to which I'm referring here in Matthew chapter six. In verse 21, we're told, where
your treasure is, there will your heart be also. And brethren, Where is our treasure? Where
is our heart? What is it that causes us to
long for the things that are precious to us? Are our hearts
centered upon the things of earth and upon the things of this world?
Do the things of this world predominate in our thinking and in our life?
Or has the Lord taught us sufficiently well that we see beyond these
things and we begin to understand the beauty of the design that
is being woven together for our greater good and for the accomplishment
of the purposes of our God? Are our hearts already yearning
for heaven? And are we taken up with the
matters of eternity? By nature, we place our affections
on the things around about us. And sometimes the Lord has to
shake those things so that we might learn to treasure him more. The Sermon on the Mount, as we've
been thinking about for the past few weeks, teaches us something
of the Lord's purpose for his people. And here the Lord Jesus
Christ, with this seated congregation before him on the hillside, he
speaks to them of spiritual truths, matters of eternal significance. And in this passage, our Saviour,
the Lord Jesus Christ, invites us to consider between the riches
that there are upon earth and treasure in heaven. Now what
is meant by these two terms, the riches or treasures upon
earth and treasures in heaven? The first point I want to make
this evening, as it were, is to think about what is meant
by these two terms. Now, treasures upon earth is
pretty straightforward. We know what that is. It's the
material riches that are valued by men and women in this world. Now, those will differ. from
place to place, from age to age, from person to person. So there's
no real point in me trying to denominate them for you. In some
ages, it would be cows. And the riches of the earth would
be the number of head of cattle that you had. Another man might
not care for cows. He's more interested in diamonds
or beautiful clothes or fast cars. But it doesn't really matter
what the denomination is, whether it's gold or whether it's land
or whatever, it's throughout the world, in different places,
at different ages, it has always been different and yet it's always
the same. because people have looked upon these things as desirable
and they have thought to themselves, what do I need to do to appropriate
that? What do I need to do to possess
that? And their labours have been exercised
in the accumulation of the riches, the treasures of this earth. Men seek pleasure. They want status. They want self-assurance. And by the things that they gather
around them, they can claim the status, or they can glean this
self-assurance. or they can indulge their pleasures. But it has to do with the passions
of the individual. It has to do with where his heart
is placed, what he longs for, what he desires. So much for
the treasures upon earth. What are the treasures in heaven? Well, this is a little bit more
involved, perhaps. Let's think a little bit about
this. The treasures in heaven may, in a sense, be the Lord
himself. It might well be that we think
about this as being the Lord Jesus Christ himself. And surely
that would be appropriate because he is the pearl of great price. He is the one who has shown us
so much love, so much dedication, so much sacrifice. He is the
one who is precious to the hearts and souls of his people. And
where is he but in heaven? And so the treasure in heaven
certainly could be a picture of the Lord Jesus Christ. Or
perhaps the promises that the Lord has made, the promises of
eternal life, the promises of eternal glory, the promises of
entering into the presence of our God and seeing with our own
eyes and hearing with our own ears and feeling with our own
heightened senses. majesty, the glory, the wonder,
the brightness, the perfection, and the purity of our God. And then all of his angels, the
mighty hosts of angels, singing praises to his name. And all
those brothers and sisters that have been and gone before us,
and those that we love, and all of those who are the blood-bought
people of God, what a treasure it will be to enter into the
experience of heaven. Treasure in heaven is our anticipation
of all that the Lord God has in store for us. Some of us have
better mansions on earth than others, but in heaven, Our Lord
is even now making many mansions and we can anticipate that soon,
soon, very soon. We will enter into the mansions
that he has prepared for us. We will be in the presence of
our God. And it's a beautiful thing to
think about the treasures in heaven, the glory that we will
see, the glory that we will possess. the peace that we will have there
in the presence of our Saviour, the joy of entering into the
fullness of eternal life and being able to spend that eternity
in the presence of our beloved Saviour. If these were the things that
the Lord is speaking about, then It may well be that we can continue
that theme as we read down this passage and get to verse 33 of
chapter 6, where the Lord says to his people, seek ye first
the kingdom of God and his righteousness, because that surely is a priority
in our lives, that we seek out this heavenly treasure. that
we think about it, we dwell upon it, we listen for it, we sing
about it, and we enjoy all of the revelation that God has given
us in his word about what we might anticipate, though I fear,
I fear that it's a very small glimpse that we have yet of the
wonders of the glory of heaven that lies beyond. I think that rather than both
of those things which might be perfectly appropriate as a meaning,
I think that rather the Lord has got something a little bit
more mundane in view here for us. So bear with me and I trust
that I haven't taken you too high to bring you at too low
all of a sudden, but the Lord has got some practical teaching
here for us in this portion. And here's what he has to say. What the Lord is drawing to our
attention here is what are you going to do with the treasure
that you have upon earth? What are you going to do with
these gifts that have been bestowed upon you. God's goodness has
been evidenced in each of our lives. The hymn writer says,
count your blessings. Count your blessings, name them
one by one, and it will surprise you what the Lord has done. Count your blessings, name them
by the score, And you will discover there are billions more. You see, the Lord has been good
to us. Now, you might think that he's been better to you than
he has been to me. And I probably wouldn't want
to argue. Or you might think he's been
better to somebody else than he has been to you. But it really
doesn't matter about those comparisons. Those comparisons are futile. Objectively, the reality is that
the Lord has been very kind and very gracious and very loving
to each one of us. And if we were just to take a
moment and think about His goodness to us, my, how that ought to
cause our hearts to swell with praise and gratitude to Him. What the Lord is saying here
is that the Lord God has been good to you. What are you going
to do with all of these blessings that the Lord has given to His
people? Where are you going to lay those
blessings up? When are you going to lay up
these good gifts that the Lord has provided for you? Now we
can lay them up upon earth. We can enjoy them. these good
gifts that the Lord has given us. We can enjoy them. We can
enjoy them in the sense of building up our experience, building up
our wealth, establishing those good gifts that he has given
us. The gift of our health. the gift of our intellect, the
gift of our family, the gift of our relationships, the gift
of our ability with our hands to create and to manufacture,
to trade. And we can take these good gifts
of God and we can accrue more. We can build our wealth. We can
establish our status. We can lay up treasure upon earth. We can see these goods as ours
to enjoy and we can pursue the enjoyment of these gifts. But the Lord gives us a word
of caution and he says, if you choose to do that, which of course
you're free to do, be aware that in the course of time, those
gifts are open to the ravages of worldly trouble. The moth and the rust and the
thieves, they'll creep in and they will destroy and they will
remove and they will waste and rob. You see, when we lay up our treasure upon
earth, we will have the opportunity of enjoying that experience,
but it will come to an end. It will soon be over. There is
a wasting away which must occur. and the moth and the rust. Rust
we think about as being the corrosion of metal, but in fact the meaning
of that phrase is much broader than that, and it has to do with,
as it were, an eating away, not simply of metal, but of anything.
And so your garments, while the moth might eat the material,
so in your crops you might discover that you've got disease entering
in and that's a picture or is pictured in the rust also. So it doesn't matter what kind
of goods we accrue, what we lay up for ourselves on earth, there
is going to be of necessity the removal of those things by deterioration
and by destruction. Or the Lord says, you can lay
these goods up in heaven. How do we do that? How do we
lay up these goods in heaven? These gifts, this goodness that
the Lord has given to us. these gifts that we have, these
qualities, these things that make us who we are. How do we
lay them up in heaven? Well, what I think the Lord is
directing us to think about is that we're laying them into the
hands of God. We are laying them in the sense
of directing them towards a heavenly cause. the things that God has given
us, the blessings that we possess. These are our treasures here
upon earth. These are those treasures that
he has given to us out of his goodness. But if we lay them
in his hand, we give them to him. And we place them in a place
where the moth can't get them, where the rust won't touch them,
and where thieves are allowed no entry. The Lord is talking
about what we do with our treasures now, what we do with our resources
now, what we do with our gifts and our attributes now, what
we do with our energies now, how we live in this world. The Lord is talking about how
we think about what is valuable to us today. And what is our
motivation? with these blessings that he
has given us. So let's think about how we lay
those treasures up in the hand of God. We do it by dedicating
ourselves and our goods to serve God's purposes, to promote the
cause of the gospel, It is as if we are saying, Lord, we are
your servants, and all that we have is yours to employ. All that I have as far as my
health is concerned, my intellect, my abilities, my resources, my
energies, my genius, my money, It's all yours to use, however
you choose to use it. And by putting it into the hand
of God, by being willing, by being prepared, by being expendable
to the Lord, we put our treasures where moth, rust, or thieves
can't get them. Because we are building something
that is eternal. We are engaged in something that
will last forever and ever and ever. Our energies are being
directed, as it were, to the same end as God's purpose here
upon earth, which is the gathering in and the building up of his
church. And we are part of that great work. We are part of that
because the Lord chooses to use means. I say this so often that
you must be getting fed up, but why should a preacher like me
be called to come and preach a gospel message? The Lord could
use someone so much better than me. The Lord could use an angel. The Lord could speak with writing
in the sky. The Lord could do anything. But
he chooses to use a man. A frail, weak, sinful creature. Well does the scripture say,
an earthen vessel. Because it's all it is, a piece
of clay that has been crudely manufactured into something that
will hold a wonderful truth. And he chooses to use means to
the end and purpose of his will. But you see, I can't be everywhere
because that's one of the restrictions
of being a mortal. One place, one time. But you
can be somewhere else. And you can be somewhere else.
And you can speak to someone that I'll never speak to. And the Lord has his people go
out into the world. That's why I think that a town,
a city, is so blessed to have a gospel fellowship in it. I'm
sure, I am so sure we don't appreciate how absolutely amazing it is
for Great Falls to have a fellowship like this in its midst. I think
the angels probably see this. I think they look down from heaven
and they see these little glow spots on the globe and they say,
I know what that is. I know what that bright light
down there is. That's a gospel fellowship and
out from that gospel fellowship goes the influence of the gospel
because the Lord uses his people and he doesn't make us all preachers
and he doesn't make us all teachers and he doesn't make us all great
speakers or eloquent or whatever it might be and he doesn't use
our intellect. And he doesn't use our vocabulary
and he doesn't use all the things that the world and nature thinks
are important and talents and gifts and powers. But he uses
the simple things. And he is accomplishing his purpose
with the simple things. And you, with those gifts that
he has given, with those talents that he has bestowed, these are
the treasures And the Lord says, lay them up in heaven. Lay them
up in my cause. Lay them up for the gospel's
sake. Put them into the hand of God
because thereby no moth will ever consume those treasures. Not like some garment. No rust
will ever eat away like some disease that gets into the crops.
and no thief will ever come and remove what I have established
and what I am building. The Lord Jesus Christ is here
inviting those people who hear these words to consider the treasures
that they have upon earth and how it is that we use them. He is teaching us about priorities. Let's get one thing straight.
The Lord doesn't need our money. He just doesn't. He's got all the wealth that
he ever needs. And he could bring, if it was
money that was the problem. See, some churches, they seem
to operate on the basis that if they could only get a few
more thousand dollars, then they could do amazing things. They
could change the town, they could change the state, they could
change the world for a few more thousand dollars. But you see, the Lord doesn't
need money. He doesn't need our money to change the world. But
he's talking about our priorities. Not how much we put in the collection,
but how we live. Are we going to spend our lives
pursuing the pleasures of this world, or are we going to seek
God's purpose and promote the cause of the gospel as our first
priority? He is teaching us the value of
caring for one another. He is teaching us what it is
to be generous, with those things that he has given us. They're
just borrowed. You're gonna have to give them
up in a day to come anyway. Let us be generous. Let us share
these things. Let us take opportunity to enter
into a fellowship and a union, having taken the gifts and the
goodness of God and laid them back in his hand and say, Lord,
use it as you will. And that might be giving to the
poor, it might be caring for the sick, it might be supporting
the challenged, reassuring the anxious, whatever it might be,
let us spend ourselves and our energies pursuing the greater
good of the Lord's purposes upon this earth. Loving one another. family union
that we have together. Our care for one another as the
Lord's people in this place, the privilege that we have of
sharing together and mutually helping and supporting one another. A moth will eat a new coat, but
it can't consume a gift that is given in love. Rot will corrupt every commodity,
but it can't destroy charity, love one to another. And thieves
will rob a man of his wealth, but they can't steal the saints'
fellowship in the gospel. And that's what we have to bring
to the party. We bring these gifts that God
has given us and we share them together in mutual love and care
for one another. This is what it is to lay up
our treasures in heaven. That's what it is to lay up our
treasures in heaven. And you can put your wealth where
it will ultimately be lost or you can give it back to God to
use in his service for his poor, for his people and in doing so
we have this promise that it will be preserved from the wasting
effects of this world. And hereby the Lord says to his
people discover where your true passions lie. Think about where
your true heart desires lie. It is either in providing for
your own desires or seeking the greater glory of God in love
of his church, his people, and his gospel. Where your treasure
is, says the Lord, there will your heart be also. I read that
verse when I was 12 and it meant something and I
read it again when I was 20 and it meant something else and I
read it when I'm 45 and 55 and if God spares me when I'm 85
and it'll mean something else. Where's your heart? Where is
your heart? Lay up your treasure because
that's where your heart will be. Why can't we serve two masters? Why can't we serve two masters?
God on one hand and mammon or wealth on the other. You see,
the Lord is talking here about principle. He's talking about
motivation. And wealthy people, they can
give generously. Oh, they can. And many do. You know, there are philanthropists
in this world. I have an associate, I have a
friend who works with an organization called the Young Philanthropists.
And their task is to find the best, needy projects in which
to invest all their gathered wealth, often inherited wealth. They can give generously and
often do. They can do much to ease poverty
and even help the Lord's people, be that collectively in a church
or individually as part of the beneficiaries of a much bigger
project. But the point is this, that it
isn't the amount that's important, but the attitude and the understanding
behind the giving. It's not the size of the cheque,
but the motivation behind it. Now, I hope that there's no one
in this congregation ever feels compelled or pressurised to give
beyond their wishes to the Lord's work. I hope that there's never
anyone who feels compelled or pressurised. It will be wrong
on the church's part to expect that from the congregation. Equally, I trust that the Lord
will bless us all with hearts that are sensitive to the needs
of one another and are eager to help and to comfort those
that are in need. By whatever means we have at
our disposal to do so. And the checkbook is the easiest
way. But what about time? And what
about just patient listening? And what about getting alongside
and befriending? And what about supporting with
the benefit of experience in times of need? What is it that
we share with one another? What does fellowship mean? And
so the Lord's people take occasion to sensitively be aware of one
another's needs and to do for one another whatever the Lord
would lead us to do. Therein the people of God exhibit
their love for Christ and for each other. And I want to conclude our thoughts
by touching on this point. In so doing, we are following
the Lord's example. In the Old Testament, the Jews
were instructed to bring their tithes, and a tithe is a tenth,
so they had several tenths that they had to bring at different
times for different things, so they had to bring their tithes.
Did you realise that? It wasn't just a tithe. It's
tithes, which is tenths. It's plural. When people talk
about giving their tithes, that's at least 20%. They had to bring their tithes. But it was an instruction. It
was a command. It was a duty and an obligation. They had to bring their tithes
into the treasury for the upkeep of the temple, for the provision
of the Levites, for the sacrifices that needed to be made. And it
was a picture of duty and obligation and necessity. There was a demand
upon them that they bring these gifts, to what extent they're
gifts, and they hand them over. There was an indebtedness to
God that these tithes spoke of. An indebtedness indeed to the
law, because it was the law of Moses that demanded these be
brought. A religious duty that must be
paid. And so tithes speak to us of
debt and obligation. And God condemned the abuse of
those tithes when people didn't give of their best. We find that
the prophets, particularly towards the end of the Old Testament,
Malachi is an example, speaks of the fact that they were robbing
God by the bringing of sick animals and impoverished gifts into the
temple. But in the New Testament, we
see something different to that. We see the Lord Jesus Christ
taking every debt to himself. We see him taking every obligation
that falls upon man and carrying it himself. We see him doing
everything that is required of God for his elect people. So that we can say that there
is no longer any obligation, there is no longer any demand,
there is no longer any law seeking something from us that the Lord
Jesus Christ has not already provided. He has satisfied it
all. every duty, every obligation,
fully satisfied in and by the Lord Jesus Christ. And what was
the Lord's motivation for that sacrifice that he gave? It was
love. It was love. It was love to his
Father and love for his people. Out of a heart of love, our Lord
gave everything. He satisfied every demand. And we follow his pattern. We follow his example of love
to God and to the church and to his people. Not out of duty
anymore. That duty's passed. He's satisfied
it all. But out of gratitude. You see
the difference? You understand the distinction
that's made there? No longer is there an obligation
for us to give. No longer is there an obligation
for us to lay up our treasures in heaven. If you don't want
to do it, don't do it. lay it up on earth by all means
go ahead you're free to do so but know that it won't you won't
build something that will last forever you can't it has to dissipate
it has to to be destroyed it has it is of necessity corruptible
and corrupting but here's the thing That which we lay into
the hands of the Lord will endure forever. That which we give to
him will be used by him in order to build such a beautiful temple,
such a beautiful building, such a beautiful body that the church
itself arrayed in all her purity and glory like the Bride of Revelation. will last and endure forever
in that consummate relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. And
we have the privilege of being engaged in that activity by the
simple laying up of our treasure in heaven into the hands of God. How did our Lord undertake these
obligations for us? He did it humbly. He did it voluntarily. and he did it willingly. And
friends, that's how we lay up our treasures in heaven. We do
it humbly. We're not making a song and dance
about this. I'm not telling you what I do
and you're not telling me what you do. We're not trying to be
proud about what it is that we're giving or what it is that we're
doing. We're getting on with the task. And you know, if you
notice or you don't, that doesn't actually matter to me because
I don't care. Whether you see or not, I'm serving
my Lord and I'm going about my business with a humble spirit
and a quiet attitude because that's how the Lord did it. That's
how the Lord did it. He did it voluntarily. We don't
shake the box under people's noses when they come in the door. but they voluntarily understand
the needs that they see around about them. They've got a sensitive
heart to the needs that are around, and the Lord lays it upon them
where they can help, and they do so with a willing and a voluntary
heart. We don't do it grudgingly, we
don't do it by force. We do it graciously, and there's
a lovely word, graciously. We've been given much, and we
are happy to return it back into the hands of the Lord. What role
did the Saviour undertake for his people? What was the job
that he did? He was a minister, a minister. That is, he was a servant, like
a servant at a table. He ministered to his people's
needs. Would we be Christ-like Do we
want to be like our saviour? Then let us stoop as he stooped. Let us serve and minister as
he ministered. Let us be to one another as the
Lord was to his disciples and to his people. Let us be ready
to lay down all we are and all we have. for the service of our
God and his church and his people and his gospel. In John chapter
13 and verse 34, the Lord Jesus says, a new commandment I give
unto you, that ye love one another as I have loved you, that ye
also love one another. By this shall all men know that
you are my disciples if you have love one to another. Amen.
