Thank you, Joy. Brethren, we
have met to worship. How was that hymn? Good evening.
Let's open tonight's service with hymn number 23 from your
hardback hymnal, number 23. Let's all stand together. Come
we that love the Lord. ? Come we that love the Lord ?
? And let our joys be known ? ? Join in a song with sweet accord ?
? And thus surround the throne ? ? Let those refuse to sing
? ? Who never knew our God ? But children of the heavenly King
? May speak their joys abroad The hill of Zion yields a thousand
sacred suites before we reach the heavenly fields or walk the
golden streets. Then let our songs abound and
every tear be dry. We're marching through Emmanuel's
crown to fairer worlds on high. Please be seated. Good evening. Let's open our
Bibles together to Psalm 22, Psalm 22, and we'll begin reading
at verse 22. I will declare thy name unto
my brethren in the midst of the congregation while I praise thee.
Ye that fear the Lord, Praise him. All ye the seed of Jacob,
glorify him. And fear him, all ye the seed
of Israel. For he hath not despised nor
abhorred the affliction of the afflicted. Neither hath he hid
his face from him. But when he cried unto him, he
heard. My praise shall be of thee in
the great congregation. I will pay my vows before them
that fear him. The meek shall eat and be satisfied. They shall praise the Lord that
seek him. Your heart shall live forever. All the ends of the
world shall remember and turn unto the Lord, and all the kindreds
of the nation shall worship before him. The kingdom is the Lord's,
and he is the governor among the nations. All they that be
fat upon the earth shall eat and worship. All they that go
down into the dust shall bow before him, and none can keep
alive his own soul. A seed shall serve him. It shall
be accounted to the Lord for a generation. They shall come. and shall declare his righteousness
unto a people that shall be born. That he hath done this. I want to try to bring a message. The next verse that we are at in Colossians chapter chapter one has to do with affliction. And so I trust that it is timely
that the Lord will comfort us in our afflictions. Some of you have already heard
about Bert. I talked to Bert a couple times
this week. He went into the hospital Sunday
with some pain in his side and they've done Some preliminary
tests and the doctor told him that is pretty sure that it was
liver cancer He will get his biopsy reports back on Friday
and know for sure What his treatment options are so want us to pray
for Bert Jennifer They'll be here this coming week. They're
coming down Tuesday, I think And others in our fellowship
they taking Jennifer off of the placebo and they're going to
put her on the chemo first of next week. So I want to pray
for her and Donna, I know you're struggling in your treatments.
We have some affliction in our fellowship and let's go to the
Lord, ask him for his mercy, our heavenly father. We take
great hope and comfort in knowing that we have a high priest who
is able to sympathize with our weaknesses, our afflictions. Not only able, but enters into
these things with us in a way that you provide to the hearts
of your people comfort and grace peace and hope and Lord, we're
in need of that. Pray for Bert, Jennifer and Dunbar
family and ask for your hand of strength and grace to be upon
them. Pray for our Jennifer and for
Dawn and Lord for so many others that you have placed your hand
of affliction on. We know that it's a loving hand. We know, Lord, that you are too loving and too good
to do anything for your children other than that which is good.
And you are too wise to err. And so, Lord, Pray that in this
hour that you would send your Holy Spirit and that you would
bless your word to our hearts and that you would cause us to
find our hope and comfort in Christ. For it's in his name
we pray. Amen. Number two from the Spiral Gospel
Hymns hymn book. Let's stand together again. Lord we come before thee now
At thy feet we humbly bow O do not our soot disdain Shall we
seek thee Lord in vain Lord, on Thee our souls depend, In
compassion now descend. Fill our hearts with Thy rich
praise, Tune our lips to sing Thy praise. In thine own appointed
way, now we seek thee, here we stay. Lord, we know not how to
go till a blessing thou bestow. ? Send the message from thy Word
? ? That may joy and peace afford ? ? Let thy spirit now impart
? ? Christ's salvation to each heart ? Please be seated. Let's open our Bibles together
to Colossians chapter one, Colossians chapter one. We will read some verses that
we've already looked at in order to get to the verse that I want
us to see tonight. Verse 21, and you, that were
sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works,
yet now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through
death to present you holy and unblameable and unreprovable
in his sight. If you continue in the faith
grounded and settled and be not moved away from the hope of the
gospel, which you have heard and which was preached to every
creature which is under heaven, where have I, Paul, am made a
minister, who now rejoice in my sufferings for you. And fill up that which is behind
of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake,
which is the church. Fill up the afflictions of Christ. I want us to consider this verse in four stages. And that is, what is it not? What is it not to fill up the
afflictions of Christ? Second, Question is, what is
it to fill up the affliction of Christ? The third question
is the necessity of filling up the afflictions of Christ. And
the fourth point is the result of filling up the afflictions
of Christ. Paul says that he's there to,
his sufferings are filling up that which is behind of the afflictions
of Christ. It would be antithetical, contrary
in every way to even consider that filling up the afflictions
of Christ means that something else needed to be done in order
for God's people to be saved. It'd be contrary to everything
we know to be true about the gospel. Something lacking in
the sufferings that the Lord Jesus Christ went through on
Calvary's cross in order to redeem his people. No, it's not possible, is it? When the Lord Jesus Christ cried
in his dying breath, it is finished, it was finished. Everything necessary
for our redemption, all that God required to satisfy divine
justice, to put away the sins of His people once and for all. Paul is obviously not speaking
of filling up the affliction of the Lord Jesus Christ when
it comes to His redemptive work. Obviously, he's not talking about
that. The Lord Jesus Christ suffered the full wrath of God. All that the law required to
execute justice for the sins of God's people, the Lord Jesus
Christ in his affliction experienced. He drank the bitter dregs of
the cup of God's justice and wrath and damnation dry. Not anything left to be done
there. The Scripture says that He obtained for us eternal redemption. He didn't die in order to make
a stab at it or in order to make an offer. He obtained eternal
redemption. He finished the work once and
for all. He quenched the fire of God's
wrath so to even think that filling up
what was lacking or what was behind, and that's what the word
lacking is, to fill up that which is behind of the afflictions
of Christ has to do with the afflictions He suffered for our
redemption would be contrary to everything we know to be true.
about the finished, accomplished work of the Lord Jesus Christ.
His afflictions were sufficient. God saw the travail of his soul. Oh, what afflictions, what afflictions
he bore. what separation he knew from
the Father. We just read from Psalm 22. And
as you know, that Psalm starts out with that cry, my God, my
God, why hast thou forsaken me? No, the afflictions that he went
through for the saving of his people could not be filled up,
could not be added to, I may say. And to add to it would be
to take away from it. And so, clearly, that's not what
Paul's talking about when he says that my sufferings are in
order to fill up that which is behind in the sufferings of Christ. You have heard people, I've heard
people speak of human suffering as if it was going to be rewarded
by redemption. Well, you know, they've suffered
all their life, and as much as they suffered, they're going
to deserve some reward for that suffering. No amount of suffering
that a man can go through would be sufficient for salvation. There is no redemption by suffering
when it comes to our suffering. There is only redemption by His
suffering. And He filled up, He filled up
everything that was necessary in His afflictions, in His suffering
on Calvary's cross to accomplish once and for all the redemption
of His people. So if we sing that song, I hear The Savior say, thy strength
indeed is small. Child of weakness, watch and
pray. Find in me thine all, in all. What the Lord Jesus Christ
suffered, we sing the chorus to that hymn, Jesus paid it all.
He paid it all. All to him I owe. Sin had left
a crimson stain. He washed it white as snow, white
as snow. There's nothing to be filled
up, nothing behind in the affliction that the Lord Jesus Christ suffered
for the sins of his people. David said in Psalm 49, None
of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give a ransom
for him. For the redemption of the soul
is precious." And that word means priceless. There's nothing that
we can do. There's no suffering that we
can suffer. There's no sacrifice that we
can make that would be sufficient to redeem us. Only the Redeemer,
only the Lord Jesus Christ, only the sinless sin bearer and substitute
and surety of God's people could satisfy that demand. And that's exactly what he did.
Nothing left to be filled up. Is that not the story of the
book of Job in part at least? Job's friends are called his
miserable comforters. What was Job's friends saying
to him? What did Job's wife say to him?
Don't you know that this heavy hand of God is punishment for
your sin? And if you will just come clean,
then you won't suffer like this anymore. Brethren, we've all had that
thought, haven't we? Heavy hand of God comes and the
accuser of the brethren plants thoughts in our minds thinking
that this is because of my sin. No. No. What happened to the Lord Jesus
Christ on Calvary's cross is because of our sin. And that
affliction is filled up. No, there are afflictions that
the Lord has ordained for His children to suffer in this world
in order to fill up the afflictions of Christ. You see, when in God's good providence,
and it is His good providence, He's far too loving and far too
kind to do anything other than that which is good for his children.
And he's far too wise to err in any way in terms of the events
and circumstances of our lives. And so when the Lord ordains
these things, they are to fill up the afflictions of the body
of Christ. And the Lord Jesus Christ is...
Go back with me to our text. Look what... Verse 24, who now rejoice in
my sufferings for you and fill up that which is behind of the
afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake. When the Lord arrested Saul of
Tarsus on the road to Damascus, He spoke to him and said, Saul,
Saul, why persecutest thou me? Who art thou, Lord? I am Jesus
of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest. You see, here's our comfort,
brethren. When the Lord in his wise, good,
and holy hand of providence brings sufferings into our lives, suffers
with us you know I was thinking if you're if your right hand
hurts your left hand might say to your right hand you know I'm
here to help but I can't really feel your pain but your head doesn't say that whatever part of your body might
be hurting your head hurts Your head knows what that pain is.
It is your head that is experiencing that pain more than any other
part of your body. And so it is in the body of Christ.
When any part of the body suffers affliction, other parts of the
body might say, I'm here for you. I'll do what I can to help,
but I can't really experience your pain. The head does. The head knows everything that
the body of Christ is going through. And everything that happens to
the body happens to the head. That's what Paul's saying. These
things have to be filled up. There's yet things to have to
be, there's yet things for the body of Christ. And there's no
separation between His body and His person. What are these filling up of
the afflictions of Christ? Well, they're the temptations.
They're the trials. They are the afflictions and
the persecutions and the daily struggles with sin and doubt
and fear and sickness and sadness and all the things that we go
through in this life. And this is filling up. the affliction of Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ said, I
speak these things unto you that you might have peace. In this
world, you shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer. I've overcome
the world. I've overcome the world. I'm
here, I'll never leave you nor forsake you. We have a high priest, the scripture
says, that can be touched with the feelings of our infirmities.
He was in all ways, in all ways tempted as we are, yet without
sin. And then the Lord says, let us
therefore. Let us therefore, in light of
the fact that we have the head of our body who knows better, what part of your body knows
your pain more, the part that's afflicted or the head? The mind,
the head is what's really experiencing the pain, isn't it? So the Lord
said, come boldly. Therefore, in light of the fact
that you have a high priest who is touched with the feelings
of your infirmities, therefore, come boldly before the throne
of grace, that you might find mercy and grace to help in your
time of need. These afflictions of Christ that
are being filled up have nothing to do with the afflictions that
he suffered on Calvary's cross for the salvation of his people.
Those afflictions were complete. They were sufficient. They were
fulfilled in and of themselves. And no afflictions on our part
will accomplish what He accomplished. Yet there are many afflictions
that have to be suffered in this body of flesh and in this life
and in this world in order to fill up or complete what the
Lord has purposed for His church. I thought about, you know, all
men, it doesn't matter if you're a believer or an unbeliever,
all men go through afflictions. Sickness is common to all men.
Trials and troubles and divorce and death and all the things
that cause so much heartache to men is common to all men." The Lord said that. He said,
these things are common to all men. Don't think that they're
unique to you. And then that verse goes on to
say, but he is faithful. He is faithful. He will not suffer
you to be tempted above that which you are able, but will
with the temptation provide the way of escape. And he is that
way of escape. And I thought, what is the difference
between the unbeliever's struggle with the trials and troubles
of life and the believer's struggle? All men are looking for an escape.
And the unbeliever can find some comfort and some escape in fleshly
means. They can find an escape in other
people or in things or in, you know, in some false religion. And they can get some solace
and some comfort there. But not so for the unbeliever.
I mean, for the believer, for the child of God. You know Saul,
King Saul, when the Lord sent an evil spirit to torment him,
he found solace in David's music. He brought in young David to
play music for him and he found some comfort for his troubled
soul in listening to David play music. David could not find any
comfort in his trials and troubles except in the Lord. And therein
lies the difference. The believer has to have Christ.
All the things that comfort the unbeliever are not sufficient
for the child of God. This is what makes our struggles
different. Our struggles are spiritual.
They're not physical. They're spiritual. The weapons
of our warfare are not carnal. They're not fleshly. They're
mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds and to bringing
into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. You see, here's the difference.
When troubles come our way, the only escape that we have is the
Lord Jesus Christ. The only comfort that we can
find is in Him. And that's a spiritual struggle.
Ephesians chapter six, turn with me, turn with me to Ephesians
chapter six. Look at verse 11. Put on the
whole armor of God, child of God, that you may be able to
stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against
flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers,
against rulers of darkness in this world, against spiritual
wickedness in high places. Wherefore, take on you the whole
armor of God, the helmet of salvation, the breastplate of righteousness,
Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, the shield of
faith, the belt of truth, and feet shod with the preparation
of the gospel. These are spiritual things. Here's
the difference. The unbeliever can find comfort.
They can find peace in false religion. They can hear a message
of works religion and hear the false prophets say, peace, peace.
And they think, well, if I just do this and don't do that, I
can find some hope, I can find some comfort. Those things are
not sufficient for the child of God. We have to have Christ. He is our way of escape. Activities, things, religion,
therapy, people, None of those things, all those fleshly means
that men turn to in order to find some escape in their affliction
is not sufficient. Not for the believer. Their battle is physical. Their
battle is mental. Our battle is spiritual. It's spiritual. Turn with me to Second Corinthians
chapter 10. Second Corinthians chapter 10.
I quote a part of this a moment
ago. Look at verse three. For though we walk in the flesh,
we do not war after the flesh. These afflictions have to be
filled up. for the body of Christ. The Lord
has purposed them in order that we might walk not after the flesh,
and not war after the flesh, but after the Spirit. I was reading
an article by some preacher recently, and he was talking about what
it meant to be spiritual. And I guess, the only thing I
can figure, I guess he was trying to refute some sort of religious
piety by saying that being spiritual is not reading your Bible and
praying and going to church. Being spiritual is serving others
and ministering to the needs of others and And as I read that
article, I thought, no, no, being spiritual is neither of those
things. It's neither of those things.
Being spiritual is being brought into fellowship with God. It's having the ministry of the
Holy Spirit comfort your heart in peace and hope and grace. And these afflictions are designed
to bring us to that end. And so though we walk in the
flesh, we do not war after the flesh. For the weapons of our
warfare are not carnal, they're not fleshly, but mighty, powerful
through God to the pulling down of strongholds. You see, this
is what the unbeliever knows nothing about in his afflictions.
He knows nothing about pulling down the strongholds of fleshly
means. He relies upon those fleshly
means. He leans upon the strong arm
of man. And the child of God, though
he may be tempted to look there, cannot find comfort there. But our strong weapons, what
do they do? Look at verse five. They cast down imaginations,
reasonings, and every high thing that exalts
itself against the knowledge of God. There's what it is to
be spiritual, is to have the knowledge of God. And bringing into captivity every
thought that you might obey Christ, is
that what that says? No. To the obedience of Christ. There's what it is to be spiritual.
It's to look to the obedience of the Lord Jesus Christ for
all of my hope, in my afflictions, in my trials, in my troubles,
in my temptations, in all things. It's the perfecting of our faith.
Turn with me to 1 Peter. 1 Peter. Child of God, these filling up
of the afflictions of the body of Christ. You know, I've heard people say,
well, why did the Lord Jesus in John 11 weep at Lazarus' tomb? Was he weeping because of the
unbelief of these people and because he was going to bring
Lazarus back to life and Lazarus was going to have to suffer in
these afflictions again and go through death again? No. No. The shortest verse in all the
Bible may have the greatest comfort for the child of God in their
afflictions. What is the shortest verse in
all the Bible? Jesus wept. Why did he weep? Because his
body was hurting. That's why he wept. His body
was hurting. Has anything changed? He's filling up the afflictions
of his body. His children were hurting. His
hand was hurting. His foot was hurting. His body
was hurting and he wept. He sympathizes with the feelings
of our afflictions. Knows them better than we know
them. He knows our troubles. He knows our trials. He knows
our temptations better than we could ever know them. That's
what Paul's saying. He's saying, I'm filling up the
afflictions of Christ for the body's sake. There are more afflictions
that have to be experienced, that have to be suffered, in
order for the entire body to be gathered together in glory.
As we go through these things, we are filling them up. You have
your Bibles open to 1 Peter. Look at chapter one in verse
six, wherein you greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need
be, these things are necessary. Paul called them necessities.
He called them necessities. Why are they necessary? To fill
up the afflictions of Christ in His body. To fulfill, to complete
all that the Lord has purposed for His people that they might
know Him and walk with Him. Though now for a season, if need
be, you are in heaviness through manifold temptations, that the
trial of your faith be in much more precious than gold that
perisheth. This is what it's all about.
It's the perfecting of our faith. It's bringing us to that place.
You know, I've thought, children of God experience the presence
of God and true spiritual worship. Three things that bring that
about. The preaching of the gospel.
The preaching of the gospel. When we hear about who the Lord
Jesus Christ is, and what He has accomplished, and the Spirit
of God brings us into fellowship with Him and with one another,
and we're able to worship Him in spirit and in truth, brings
us into the presence of God. Second thing that brings us into
the presence of God is our own sin, our sin, and the conviction
of the Holy Spirit, convicting us of our sin. Why? Because there's only one
place to go when the Spirit of God convicts us of our sin, and
that's to Christ. And thirdly, our sufferings,
our sufferings. We try to find comfort in so
many things and they all fall short of being able to speak
peace to our hearts until the Lord through our sufferings and
through our afflictions brings us into his presence and we're
able to rest and rejoice. Look at verse 7, halfway through,
though it be tried with fire might be found under praise and
honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ. There's what
it's all about. The world doesn't know anything
about that. The unbeliever doesn't know anything about it. Yes,
they go through death. and disease, and divorce, and
trials, and troubles, and temptations, and addictions, and all sorts
of things that the world goes through. Men destroy themselves
trying to find an escape. Our escape is Christ. The weapons
of our warfare are spiritual. That's what makes the difference. Verse eight, whom having not
seen you love, in whom though now you see him not, yet believing
you rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory, receiving
the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. So what
is it to fill up the afflictions of Christ? It has nothing to
do with what he suffered on Calvary's cross for our salvation. That
is full. That's full. Were we just in
1 Peter? Turn with me to 1 Peter 4. 1 Peter 4. Look at verse 12. Beloved, oh
beloved. What a tenderhearted address. The Lord is calling us his beloved. He loves us. in a way that we've
never known that love before. We don't know experientially
what His love is really like. Our love is so far short of that. Beloved, think it not strange
concerning the fiery trials, which is to try you as though
some strange thing happened to you, but rejoice in as much as
you are partakers of Christ's suffering. This is exactly what
Paul's saying. When the believer suffers, we
are partaking in the sufferings of the body of Christ, filling
up that which is yet to be complete. That when his glory shall be
revealed, you may be glad also with exceeding joy. This is what it's about. The
Lord's bringing us to our expected end. And he says to us, I know
the thoughts that I think toward you, thoughts of good, not of
evil, to bring you to your expected end. He didn't say it was going to be
easy, but he did say it'd be good. And if these trials and troubles
bring us If they bring us to Christ, to
Him, we find our comfort and our peace and our hope in Him. They're good. They are necessary. Turn with me to 2 Corinthians
12. 2 Corinthians 12. Oh, even in our sufferings, we are
presumptuous, are we not? If there were no trouble for
the believer, oh, how cold and hard-hearted
and distant we would be from the Lord. Second Corinthians chapter 12,
look with me, if you will, at verse seven, and lest I should
be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations
that was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of
Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. Child of God, there are afflictions
and there are thorns in our flesh, aren't there? And it's not necessarily
the, The trials and the afflictions, it's the unbelief that's associated
with them, isn't it? That's the messenger of Satan.
It's the fears and the doubts that go along with them. And
so Paul said, I besought the Lord three times that I might
be, that they might depart from me. And the Lord said unto me,
my grace is sufficient for thee. For my grace is made perfect
in weakness. Most gladly, therefore, will
I rather glory in my infirmities that the power of Christ may
rest upon me. Therefore, I take pleasure in
infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions,
in distresses for Christ's sake, for when I am weak, then I am
strong. That's so simple, isn't it? You
know that's true by your own experience, don't you? God brings
these troubles and trials to bring us to the end of ourselves.
And will we have to cast all our care upon Him who cares for
us? And only then do we experience. David put it like this. He said,
this affliction, David said in Psalm 119, he said,
before I was afflicted, I went astray, but now I've kept that
word. He went on in that same Psalm
to say, it is good for me that I've been afflicted, that I might
learn thy statutes. Oh, Lord, I need these things.
I need my weakness exposed. I need the confidence that I
would have in the flesh to be taken away. I need to be brought
to the end of myself so that I cast all my care upon thee. That's why the Lord said that
Paul was filling up the afflictions of Christ. And that's exactly
what you're doing, exactly what I'm doing. As we fight this spiritual
battle of filling up the afflictions of Christ for the church, the
body of Christ. James said, count it all joy,
my brethren, when you fall into diverse temptations, knowing
that the trying of your faith worketh patience. And patience,
what it is complete, makes you perfect and entire, lacking in
nothing. These things drive us to Christ,
just like our sin drives us to Christ, just like public worship
and the preaching of the gospel drives us to Christ. These things
are necessary. Turn with me to Psalm 102. Psalm
102. And the little small print that
gives you the title of the psalm between the number of the psalm
and the larger print, the body of the psalm, that's inspired
text. That's not commentary. That's
not editor's notes. That's inspired text. Okay? So Psalm 102 begins with a prayer
of the afflicted when he was overwhelmed and poureth out his
complaint before the Lord. Is that not what we do when we're
afflicted? We pour out our complaint before the Lord because we're
overwhelmed with these afflictions? and we can find no escape anywhere
else? And here's our prayer. Hear my
prayer, O Lord, and let my cry come unto thee. Hide not thy
face from me in the day when I am in trouble. Incline thine
ear unto me in the day when I call thee. Answer speedily, for my
days are consumed like smoke and my bones are burned as a
hearth. My heart is smitten and withered
like grass so that I forget to eat my bread. Yes, these things are necessary
in order to fill up what is behind, what is still lacking, what still
has to be completed in the afflictions of Christ for his body's sake. We might be brought to the end
of our lives as the Apostle Paul was and be able to say, I fought
a good fight. I've kept the faith. Finish my course. Henceforth,
henceforth, there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness
with the righteous judge shall give to me and not to me only,
but to all them that love his appearing. That's when it'll be filled up. In the meantime, it's still being
filled. For each of us individually,
it'll be filled up when the Lord takes us from this world into
His presence. And for the body of Christ, It'll
be filled up when the trump of God sounds and the dead in Christ
are raised and those of us which are alive to be caught up together
with them in the air. And so shall we ever be with
the Lord. Receiving the end of your faith,
even the salvation of your souls. Brethren, the Lord Jesus Christ
filled up by his afflictions everything necessary for our
redemption. For our righteousness, for our
wisdom, our justification, our sanctification, our redemption,
everything that God demanded, the Lord Jesus Christ filled
it up. He drank damnation dry. He took it all on Calvary's cross. There's nothing to be filled
up for that. But in His love and in His mercy
and in His goodness, there are afflictions that His body must
go through. And our comfort is knowing that
when His body goes through it, the head's going through it more
than the body. more than the body. And these things are necessary for our dependence upon him,
that our weakness might be exposed so that when we are weak, then
we're strong. His strength is made perfect
in our weakness. Our Heavenly Father, We pray for faith and for grace. We pray, Lord, that you would
turn our hearts quickly and fully to thy throne of grace to rely
upon Christ in our time of trouble. For it's in his name we pray.
Amen. 256 let's stand together 256 256 you
