Alright brethren, let's turn
to 2 Thessalonians chapter 3. We come now to the last verse of
this epistle. We've been going through it. Hold on just a minute brethren,
I've got to set my hearing aids here. Alright. So we've been going
through it. We come to this last verse. Verse
18. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ
be with you all. Amen. Now, Sunday we looked at
the grace of the Lord out of Romans 4. And we know that salvation
is all of grace. It's all of grace. And what I
want to focus on here from this verse, Paul is a believer writing
to believers. And I want to speak about God's
grace with us as saints. After that, he's brought us to
believe. Now, I can't start on that without saying something
about the grace of God that saved us and called us. The Lord came
to us, he came preaching peace to us, regenerating grace. calling grace. He came to us
preaching peace through the gospel and He just pleaded and begged
with us to just please let Him save us. No, that's not what
He did. He came and gave us life. We
were dead. We were totally, thoroughly dead. And He came and entered in and
gave us life. And He did it all by grace. He
granted us repentance by grace. He gave us the gift of faith
by grace. Everything was grace. He gave
us a new will by His power, by His grace. And then when He did
this, He did it showing us that His redeeming grace showed us
that He justified us by grace, that He bore all the sins of
His people and bore them away forever. That's what He showed
us. And when He saved us, He made
us see all the way back to eternity. So that we saw that this all
began with God our Father choosing us in Christ by grace. So He
made you see everything is of grace. Beginning to end, it's
all of grace. And so, as believers now, this
is truly liberty for us. I'm going to start where we ended
Sunday. This is what liberty really is.
It's knowing God chose us by grace, He redeemed us by grace,
He regenerated us by grace, and if He loved us when we didn't
love Him, if He loved us when we were without strength, when
we were the ungodly, and laid down His life for us, and then
came and told us the good news and made us hear it and gave
us faith to believe. If he did all that by grace.
And brethren, this is the liberty you have from all the fear and
torment you had when you were dead in sins and when you were
living by the sword and when you were under the law. It's
the liberty of knowing his grace never changes. therefore he's
going to save his people. He will not let us go, he will
not lose one. And that's such peace and such
liberty to know that he will save us. He shall save his people. So I want to focus now on this
grace of our Lord to us as believers. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ
is with us in the preaching of the gospel. Sometimes it's called
the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the preaching of the gospel.
It's with us in all of providence. Everything the Lord's doing in
our life and everything that comes to pass is his grace toward
us. And when he gives you grace,
it makes you beg him for more grace. And he gives more grace. And so, This is what it is to
be a believer in this world, is to have the preaching of the
gospel of his grace, is to know all providence is working for
me by his grace, and it's to be continually dependent on him
for more grace. This is the life of a believer.
He called us, he's gonna carry us, he's gonna keep us, he's
gonna teach us, all the way to glory. And it's gonna be all
by grace. I wanna look at those three things
now. The preaching of the gospel is the grace of our Lord Jesus
with us. Providence is the grace of our
Lord Jesus with us. And I wanna see how that this
grace makes us continually depend upon him for grace. First of
all, the preaching of the gospel is the grace of our Lord Jesus
with us. Look with me now over at Acts
20. It occurred to me on the way over here that whenever, you know, when
Paul wrote the first Corinthian letter, they had all kind of
trouble and sin and problems in the church. But then when
he wrote the second letter, they must have been turning back to
the law because he spent all that time in 2 Corinthians 3
showing how that that the old covenant had glory, but the Lord
saved us from the glory of that old covenant to the glory of
this new covenant. And then he gets down to, he
said, so that's the old things that are passed away and all
things become new. And he gets down to 2 Corinthians
6 and he says, receive not the grace of God in vain. And he's
talking about the preaching of the gospel of Christ. That's
what he was talking about. You've had the gospel sent to
you. receive this in vain, not that
the Lord's word will ever return vain, but to return void, it
won't. But if sinners reject and that's,
but my point to you is, is the preaching of the gospel is the
grace of our Lord Jesus. Look here in Acts 20 verse 32,
when Paul left him at Ephesus, he said,
and now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of
his grace, which is able to build you up and to give you an inheritance
among all them which are sanctified. I commend you to God, he said. When Paul speaks of the grace
of our Lord Jesus, it's not to the exclusion of God the Father
and God the Holy Spirit. The triune God is in Christ,
he is God, in human flesh. I like how Paul ended the Corinthian
letter. He wrote it, he said this, the
grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the communion
of the Holy Ghost be with you all. And to the Ephesians, he
said, I commend you to God. And this is the Lord Jesus, our
God, our captain, our head. who's saving us, and the chief
way that he's gonna minister to us is through the preaching
of the word. Paul said, he said, I commend
you to the word of his grace. Well, Christ himself is the essential
word of God's grace. He's the word. And the way he's
gonna minister to us is through the preaching of the word, the
gospel. Back in Acts 20, Paul, In verse
24, Paul called it the gospel of the grace of God. And that's
what it is, it's the word of his grace, the gospel of the
grace of God. Christ builds us up through the
preaching of the word and he does it in spirit. That's where
he's ministering. He's ministering to us in spirit.
The Galatians, you remember, they were being turned back to
the law. And that's why when Paul ended a Galatian letter,
this is how he ended it. He said, brethren, the grace
of our Lord Jesus be with your spirit. They needed to hear that,
because they're being turned back to the outward, to the fleshly,
to the letter of the law, and just the outward keeping of the
law. And he said, the grace of our
Lord Jesus be with your spirit. And that's how he's gonna minister
to us. Through this gospel, he's ministering to us in spirit,
in the heart. Go with me to Ephesians 4. Christ not only calls his redeemed
through the gospel, but he's gonna spiritually edify you who
he's already called. He gonna edify you in spirit
through this gospel. Look at verse 14. He sent the
gospel that we henceforth, Ephesians 4.14, that we henceforth be no
more children, tossed to and fro, carried about with every
wind of doctrine by the slight of men and cunning craftiness
whereby they lie and wait to deceive. but speaking the truth
in love may grow up into him in all things, which is the head,
even Christ, from whom the whole body, fitly joined together,
compacted by that which every joint supplieth according to
his effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh
increase of the body to the edifying of itself in love. Paul said
the word of this grace is able to build you up. And we see how,
it's Christ who ministers to us through this word and builds
us up. Our Savior was with his disciples. Can you imagine walking
with the Lord Jesus? He was with his disciples for
three and a half years, teaching them, preaching the gospel and
teaching them right in person. He's still doing that today,
brethren. He's doing it through the pre, Through the messenger
he sends, Christ is ministering to us just as real as he did
when he stood there and ministered to them face to face. He really
and truly is. He's present where he sends his
minister. When he said, when he gathers
his people, it's not just if two or three are gathered, it's
where he's gathered his people. And where he's gathered his people,
he said, I'm there. I'm in the midst of them. That's
what Paul meant in Philippians 2 when he said, it's God which
worketh in you, both the will and the do of his good pleasure.
He's in the midst of his people. He's in each believer, and he's
in his assembly, walking among the candlesticks. That's how
he's revealed in Revelation, walking among the candlesticks.
Go with me. Over there to Isaiah 52. I know
we looked at this the other day and I preached on this out there
in California, but I want you to see it again. Isaiah 52, six. He said in verse six, my people
shall know my name. Therefore they shall know in
that day that I am he that does speak. Behold it's I. How beautiful upon the mountains
are the feet of him. They're feet of Him that bringeth
good tidings, that publishes peace, that bringeth good tidings
of good, that publishes salvation, that says to Zion, thy God reigneth.
See, it's Christ Himself. It's Christ Himself. You know,
the only protection we have from all the heresies in this world,
from our own sinful flesh, and from every enemy we have, the
way it's pleased God to save us, from the time He calls you
until you leave this world is right here, just what we're doing,
is through the preaching of Christ's name crucified. This is how He's
gonna save. And this is the grace of our
Lord Jesus Christ with His church. It's His grace with us by sending
the gospel to us. Our Lord said, be careful how
you hear. Hearken, heed, be careful how you hear. Hear this word. and hear this word and every
opportunity you have to assemble and hear the preaching of his
gospel, do it, do it. All right, now look at secondly,
I want you to see here, not only is it the preaching of the gospel
that is his grace, but providence is the grace of the Lord Jesus
Christ with his redeemed, for his redeemed All providence,
everything that comes to pass in this world, everything that
comes to pass in your life, providence, for he is redeemed, every bit
of it is the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ to you. It's all
worked together for you, that's so. Is he that sovereign? Is
the Lord of glory that sovereign? I want you to listen to the word
all in these scriptures I'm about to give you. If you wanna turn
there, you're welcome to turn there, but I'm gonna move through
these. But look at Matthew 28, verse 18. Matthew 28, 18. The Lord Jesus came, this was after
he arose from the grave. He came and he spake to his disciples
saying, all power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. All
power. All right, look at Ephesians
1 and look at verse 21, Ephesians 1, 21. Pay attention to the word all
now. When the Lord raised him, verse 21 says, God our Father
raised our Savior far above all principality and power and might
and dominion And every name that's named, not only in this world,
but also in that which is to come, and hath put all things
under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to
the church, which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth
all in all. So then go to Romans 8 now. You
see all powers he has over all to fill all in all his people. Now look at Romans 8 and look
at verse 28. It's this same sovereign savior,
verse 28, who's working all things. You see that? All things. work
together for good to them that love God, to them who are the
called according to his purpose. He's working them all together. Does he have that much power?
He is He's sovereign God to begin with, but now he's saying to
us, brethren, as the man who has accomplished our salvation
and our redemption, as the man, God has given him all power over
all. And he works all, it's not just
that, well, all things happen for a reason, that's what the
world says. That's not what the scripture said. It's our Lord
Jesus is working all things together And He's not doing that for everybody.
He's doing it just for His people. He's doing it for His people.
Everything that comes to pass in this world, if it looks like
it's just terrible and nothing good could come from it, it wouldn't
have come to pass. Except He's working it for good
for His people. The wrath of man shall praise
Thee, and the remainder He'll restrain. Everything that comes
to pass, He's working it all together for the good of His
people. That's His grace to you. Controlling all providence. Years
ago, I was in a hospital up at Columbia University Medical Center
in New York City. Every so often, a doctor would
come around and he'd have about six or seven student doctors
with him. they would go in the classroom
and they would learn and be taught in the classroom. Then they'd
go and follow the physician around and get some hands-on experience.
Don't you just love how the Lord ordained it that his church would
meet the first day of the week? And then we come in the classroom
and he teaches us. And then we go throughout the
week and we follow the physician. and everything he's working in
Providence and he teaches us by experience. He shows us the
things and teaches us the things we learn in the gospel. That's
what he's doing in this world. Then we come back in the classroom
and we hear him teach us again and then we go back through the
week and we learn in Providence and everything he's working It's
just as important in what He's doing in your life every day
and what He's teaching you right here. They go together. They
go together. Never separate. Never go out
of here and think, well, that's over now. I'm just going to go
through the rest of the week. No. Wake up in the morning and
whatever He brings to pass in your life, realize this is the
grace of the Lord Jesus for you. Whatever it is. Whatever it is.
He's teaching us here, and He's gonna teach us throughout the
week. We come in here, and by grace, we hear that our God is
sovereign, that He works everything after the counsel of His own
will. And we believe Him by His grace. By His grace, we hear
that His grace is sufficient for us. And we believe Him by
His grace. We hear by His grace that He'll
never leave us, He'll never forsake us. And by His grace, we believe
Him. And then Christ works everything in providence so that we learn
it. So that we really learn it and
really find out in our life that it's so. He's growing us in the
grace and knowledge of him all the time. The Hebrew writer said
he's exercising our senses so that we can discern both good
and evil. We discern the evil of trusting
in ourselves or trusting any man or looking at the waves.
And we discern the good of casting all our care on Him all the time
for He cares for you. That's what He's teaching us.
That's what He's teaching us. He works good things in our life
to teach us that all His promises are sure. He works good things. He promised to provide all our
needs. He, food, drink, clothing, shelter, he promised to provide
it all. He said, don't let your mind
be consumed with those things. He said, your heavenly father
knoweth you have need of these things. And by his grace, we
hear that good news and we believe him. By his grace, he given you
faith to believe him and we believe him. And then he arranged his
providence and he provides. He'll arrange providence and
He'll provide to show you every word He speaks to you is sure
and it's certain. Every promise is sure and it's
certain. I want you to think about this, brethren. Do you
realize that the word provide is the root word in providence?
Go home and spell it and look at it. Everything that comes
to pass in this life, our Lord is bringing it to pass. It's
His providence for His people. That's what it is. He's providing
for you by everything that comes to pass. It's so whether it's joyful things
that He's working for us or if it's sorrowful things. But there's
far more joyful things that He works for us than sorrowful things.
That's so. That's so. Just a day when you
see the sun rise, what do you think about when you see the
sun rise? You think of the sun of righteousness
arising with healing in his wings? After the storm and you see the
rainbow, what do you think of? You think of how he put that
rainbow there to remind us of his covenant. And you remember
how they saw him in Revelation, he had the covenant, he had the
bow about his head. He's the covenant, Christ is
the covenant. So many good things he works
in our lives, and he's constantly, if we could see, like he said
in Isaiah, he said the hills are gonna clap their hand. And
that's so great, if we could see all the things he does for
us around us every single day, Doors he opens for us, doors
he closes for us. You know, you're driving down
the road and somebody cuts you off or you get in a traffic jam
and you can't go and we fuss and murmur because we got slowed
down. He's probably saving you from a car wreck another mile
down the road. Things we just don't even see,
he's working all these things together. Everything that's happening
to us in this world is good. None of it's bad. It's all good. It's all good. Even sorrowful
things, that's the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ with you. Even
sorrowful things. And even when you end some sorrowful
things, don't you still have, you got that joy in your heart.
You got peace in your heart. Because you know the Lord's gonna
work this out. He's teaching me through this.
When the trial comes, This is my thought when the trial comes.
I think, I don't know what he's going to do. I don't see how
this is going to turn out good. But I can't wait to see, because
I know it is. I know it is. Some like bodily
exercise. Some folks like to work out and
bodily exercise. None of us really like this kind
of exercise. But this is him exercising. When
sorrow comes, trouble comes, affliction comes. That's him
exercising us. It's Christ's grace with you.
He only chastens those he loves. You know, chastening is not just
experiencing trouble. Everybody experiences trouble.
Chastening is you experience the trouble, but he teaches you
something through it. He turns you to him and he teaches
you something through the trouble. about His promise and His salvation
and what He's accomplished for us and how He's keeping us and
how He won't ever let us go. He's teaching you more of Him.
That's what He only does for His child. He's dealing with
you as with sons, the scripture said. And it's always fruitful. He always succeeds in teaching
us. Never say, oh, He's trying to
teach me something. He's not trying to teach you
anything. He's gonna teach you. You will get it. No chastening for the present
seemeth to be joyous but grievous. Nevertheless, afterward, it yieldeth
the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised
thereby. That's what he's doing. And that's
his grace for you. That's him with you, working
grace with you, for you. And nothing comes to pass in
our life that's bad. It may seem bad, but it's all
good. It's all good. It's the grace
of our Lord Jesus Christ with us. Go to 2 Corinthians 4. You
know I can't preach on this without going to 2 Corinthians 4. It's
not against us, it's for us. And that's so, what did Romans
8 tell you? He worketh all things together
for good to them that love God. He does that. All things. And
right here he's telling us now, look, verse 17. Saint Corinthians,
for our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh
for us. You see, this is the grace of
our Lord Jesus Christ with you. He's working for you. And it's
a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory that he's working.
He's turning us to look not at the things which are seen, but
at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen
are temporal, the things which are not seen are eternal. We
get so taken up with the things of this life and the cares of
this world. Things we have to do. We have
to go, you know, work, you have to work your job. You have to
take care of your house and just the everyday thing we have to
do. But we get so taken up with those things. And he just wakes
us up, doesn't he? He just, he's able to control
everything. And he'll do it and he'll bring
something into your life to wake you up. and he'll turn you to
him, turn you to him. And our light suffering makes
us appreciate his great suffering. Our suffering's light, he bore
that heavy weight of the fierce fury of God's wrath in place
of his people and put that away for us forever. We won't experience
that again, brethren, ever. He did that for us, he bore that
for us, so we won't experience that. And it's light affliction. Next time you come into some
affliction, take that affliction, whatever it is, and think about
Christ's suffering. And just really sit down and
start thinking about what he suffered in your room instead.
It'll make that suffering lighter. because what He suffered is far
greater. This is what it's for, it's to
turn us from the things we see and all these temporal things
we're doing to see things by faith, the things that are real
and eternal. If we suffer from men, He controls
that, He controls that, and it's the grace of our Lord Jesus with
us to make us consider Him. That's what the Hebrew writer
said, Hebrews 12, 13. Consider him that endured such
contradiction of sinners against himself, lest you be wearied
and faint in your minds. You've not yet resisted unto
blood striving against sin. See, all these things are for
us. They're making us consider him. Remind us that we're complete
in him. Remind us he's our life. The
Lord Jesus is our life. Remind us that He's our advocate
with the Father, ever-living, interceding for us right now.
And he sent it to turn us to him, to remember he's our righteousness,
he's our holiness. We know that if our earthly house
of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, a
house not made with hands, eternal in the heaven. Every so often,
he just brings us into some light affliction and sets us down and
turns us to him and makes that word so real and so new and so
alive in our heart to make you know, this is not my life. I
have an abode in heaven and I'm gonna inhabit it. I'm gonna dwell
there. You are too, that know him. But our Savior growing us
in this grace, brethren, it's not like carnal knowledge now.
I almost started out with this to say that what I'm about to
tell you, it's not making you come to a place where carnal
knowledge just makes men prouder and prouder. Oh, I've suffered
some things, you know, and boy, I've been in the faith a long
time. Everybody ought to listen to me, but all I've suffered,
that's not what it does. That's not what it does. Knowledge
puffeth up, but charity edifieth. This is that tribulation wherein
he sheds the love of God abroad in your heart as he's humbling
you so that this is edifying. It's not to puff up. It makes
you do what John said. John said, he must increase,
I must decrease. That's what this work does. He
increases. You see Him more and more. You
see Him exalted. You see you need Him more and
more and more. And you see your insufficiency. You see your inability. You see
your ignorance. You see your weakness. You see
that in you dwells no good thing. And it increases Him before you. And you know, I am really being
saved by His grace. It's His grace. It's Him saving
me. It's Him carrying me. Listen, the grace of our Lord
Jesus makes us lowly. It's his grace coming to you
that's gonna bring you down and make you lowly. And then he gives
more grace to the lowly. Listen, he says, surely he scorneth
the scorners. The scorners are proud boasters. They boast about something they
had to do with their salvation. Something they're accomplishing
by their power and their wisdom and their strength. You know,
all of that proudness that we were talking about. He scorns
the scorner, but he giveth grace unto the lowly. If it wasn't
for his grace with us, brethren, we'd be swallowed up by our flesh.
We'd just become so proud. And if a man gets in that state,
he thinks everything's all right. but we'd be swallowed up by our
flesh. James said, James quotes that
proverb, Proverbs 334, he gives grace to the lowly, scorns the
scorner and gives grace to the lowly. James quoted it and he
said this, this is how James, the spirit of God moved James
to use it. Do you think that the scripture saith in vain,
the spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? You know, you
look that up, there's no specific scripture that says those exact
words. And commentators debate on, you
know, what scripture is he talking about? The whole Bible. That's
the message of the whole Bible. The spirit that dwells in us
lusteth to envy. That fallen, depraved spirit
that's in our flesh just lusteth to envy. But he giveth more grace. Wherefore, he said, God resisteth
the proud, but giveth grace to the humble. Now, what does this
grace make you do? What does it make you do? Go
with me to Exodus 33. This'll be my last point. Exodus
33, I want you to see. His grace is with you in the
preaching of the gospel, and His grace is with you in providence.
So He's making you learn it by experience. You hear it taught,
and you learn it by experience. And here's what His grace with
you makes you do. The grace of our Lord Jesus makes
us ask Him for more grace. It makes us dependent on Him
more, more, more. You remember how John said this,
in John 1 16, John said, of his fullness have all we received
and grace for grace. Grace for grace. Well, here's
one thing that means. We see Moses exhibit exactly
what that means. Grace for grace. I'm sure it
has a lot more meaning, but this is one thing it means, I know.
Watch this, Exodus 33, verse 13. Moses said, now therefore I pray thee, if
I have found grace in thy sight, he knew he had, he wasn't doubting
a gray, he knew he had, but he said, now if I have found grace
in thy sight, show me now thy way, that I may know thee, that
I may find grace in thy sight. You see that? If I have found
grace in thy sight, show me thy way, that I may know thee, that
I may find grace in thy sight, and consider that this nation
is thy people. By the grace of the Lord being
with us, by him teaching us this gospel, working providence for
us, showering us with his grace, He makes you pray for more grace. He makes you dependent on him
for more grace. You want to know him more. You
want to know his way more. And then what does he do? He
gives more grace. Look there at verse 14, Exodus
33, 14. And the Lord said, my presence
shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest. Well, what did
that make Moses do? It gave him more grace. What
did it make Moses do? He asked for more grace. Look
at verse 15. And Moses said to him, if thy presence go not with
me, carry us not up hence. For wherein shall it be known
here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? Is
it not in that thou goest with us? So shall we be separated,
I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face
of the earth. And then the Lord gives more grace. The Lord said,
And the Lord said to Moses, I will do this thing also that thou
hast spoken. For thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know
thee by name. You see, the first time he asked
to know the Lord, I want to know you, Lord, and I want to know
your way. And in giving him grace, this is what the Lord said to
him. Look, giving him grace, verse 14, the Lord said, My presence
shall go with thee, and I'll give thee rest. Moses hadn't
even asked for that. But by saying that to Moses,
speaking that in Moses' heart, Moses' next request is, Lord,
will your presence go with us? Will your presence go with me?
He asked for more grace, and the Lord said, I'll do this also
for you, Moses. My presence will go with you.
I'll go with you. You see, he gives you grace.
That's the only way we're gonna ask for grace. That's the only
way we need grace, is he gives you grace. He humbles you down
to say, I need his grace. And you ask him for grace. And
He gives you more grace. And that just makes you ask Him
for more grace. And He gives you more grace. And He's made that same promise
to us, brethren. That same promise. He said, I
will be with you. Listen, Hebrews 13, 5. Let your
conversation be without covetousness and be content with such things
as you have. For he has said, I will never
leave thee nor forsake thee, so that we may boldly say, the
Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do to
me. We have that promise. Now here's three things we've
seen, brethren. First of all, the preaching of
the gospel is the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ with us. It's
the grace of our Lord Jesus with us. What a privilege that he's
given us. Use this grace Christ has given
you to hear him. It's him, it's him, hear him. As newborn babes, desire the
sincere milk of the word that you may grow thereby. It's able
to build you up, Paul said. And number two, providence is
his grace with us. He's working everything in this
world for you, His people. He's making us learn that His
grace really is sufficient, that He is the Lord who saves, who
has and is and shall save us. Everything's of His hand. We
can do nothing without Him. He's making us learn this and
know this. So in everything, give thanks. Whatever it is that has come
to pass in your life, He did it. And Paul said, and everything
gives thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning
you. Whatever he's brought to pass
in your life, it may be very painful, but it's good. It's
for your good. It's only good. And it's his
will for you. So thank him. Oh Lord, thank
you for your grace with me. Thank you for your grace being
with me. And then thirdly, He gives grace for grace. He gives
grace for grace. Grace makes us beg for more grace. And he gives more grace. Grace
makes us beg, Lord, I wanna know you more. And he makes you know
him more. Grace makes you say, Lord, don't
take your presence from me. I pray, Lord, your presence go
with us. And he promises you, by grace,
my presence will go with you. My brethren, You see why I say
that's liberty? That's what true liberty is.
It's knowing He has saved me. I'm complete in Him. I have a
perfect righteousness in Him. He sanctified me, set me apart,
and He's keeping me separated unto Him. And His grace is carrying
me the whole way through. Everything that's going on in
your life, believer, is the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ with
you. Everything. Everything. I pray he blesses
that. All right, Brother Greg.
