through it all, And we've been watching for the day. But when we come
around, I know nobody's watching for us. All right, back to 1 Kings chapter
3. 1 Kings chapter 3. Our Lord said
concerning the Old Testament scriptures, He said, He said, they are they which
testify of me. We've been studying King Solomon,
and his life testifies of the greater than Solomon, king of
kings, king of kings. Chapter one and two, we studied
that last Wednesday night. Chapter one and two, we saw that
The last verse in chapter two says that thus was the kingdom
was established in the hands of Solomon. The kingdom was established.
How? How was his kingdom established? What did we conclude? What did
we see in those first two chapters? That his kingdom was founded
on justice. that he's a just king. And I
quoted this verse to you, and I didn't write it down to tell
you where, I didn't know where it was found at the time. But
David said this, 2 Samuel chapter 23, these are the last words
of David, and he said this, and you don't have to turn, but you
can do well to do it. 2 Samuel 23, he said this in
verse to the Spirit of the Lord spake by me." That is, what David
is saying is God's Word, and His Word is in my tongue. The
God of Israel, Satan, the rock of Israel, is fake to me. Here's
the first thing he said, "'He that ruleth over men must be
just.'" Either ruler or ruler must be
just. And so we saw that Solomon, his
kingdom was established, he was established as a just king and
ruler. And Solomon, upon taking the
throne, how did he do that? Upon taking the throne in Israel,
he immediately cleaned his house. He cleaned the house. He vanquished
all the enemies. He removed the false priests
and established His chosen ones. And so the kingdom was established
in Solomon's hand in justice. And the Scripture says concerning
our Lord, He will by no means clear the guilty. But he take
it away first, establish second. Listen to this verse. I found
this in the latter part of studying this also. Jude 15. Listen to
this. Jude 15. It says this, verse
14, the Lord cometh with ten thousand of his saints to execute
judgment on all. and to convince all their ungodly among them, of all their ungodly
deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their harsh
speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against them." Do
you remember our study? Do you remember how Solomon had
Simeon put to death? How he had Joab? Do you remember
all that? I want a clear picture of Christ
that is. It says there, June 15, 1st,
worth marking well. So our Lord, our Lord, the true
Lord, the true Christ in the Scripture, is first and just
God, and second. He's not first, loving, The Savior
is a just God, and the Savior must be. Scripture says this,
justice and judgment are the habitation of His throne. Now,
most of you people understand what that says. And you're so
blessed because there's a world of people out there who don't
have a clue, and all that sounds hard. But you know what that means.
The justice of our Lord is a good thing. Justice and judgment. And we will be glad, we are glad
right now that He is the first just. Because if justice hasn't been
paid by Christ on our behalf, we will never. If he's truly just and he paid
the payment for our sins, then they're paid in full. And not one person from whom
Christ died, from whom Christ paid the payment and justified
him by his blood, not one person will ever perish. That's because
he's judged. You see that? It's more than
just punishing evil doers. It's putting away our sins so
that we will never have to repent. You understand that?
We love His justice. He must be judged. He must be
judged. Justice and judgment are the
habitation of His Father. All right. Chapter 3. This is
the story of the judge, the judge of all, of great wisdom and discernment. This is the story of Solomon,
but this is the story of the greater than Solomon, the greater
than Solomon. The Lord appeared to Solomon
in a dream. Verse 5. God said, Ask what I
shall give thee. The Lord is going to grant Solomon
whatever he asks. Well, what is Solomon going to
ask for? He's going to ask for what the Lord tells him to ask
for. As Christopher said in Proverbs 16, verse 1, the preparation
of the heart and the answer of the tongue are from the Lord.
If God's going to grant it, He's going to have to put in our heart
the right things. God's going to hear us. It's
going to have to be right. It's going to have to be in His
name, on His will, or else we would ask the missed. Consumed
on our own lusts. Solomon, as a man like we are,
had God not put it in his heart to ask for what was really needful.
He would have asked for riches, wouldn't he? No more trouble,
no more sickness on the mind. No, he asked for what was right,
what was good. And what he asked for pleased
the Lord. And the scripture said of Christ, Christ said this at
Lazarus' tomb. He said when he prayed to the
Father, he said, I know that you don't hear me. Remember that? Why? Because he always asked
for what was right. He never asked for anything for
himself. He always asked for others. And the Lord always gave
him what he asked. Listen to this. Hebrews 5, it
says this, In the days of his flesh, Christ was heard. He was
hurt by God for his piety. He was hurt for his piety. Well, verse 7, Solomon prays
and speaks to the Lord and says, "'O Lord, my God, Thou hast made
Thy servant king.' Verse 8, "'Thy servant is in the midst of Thy
people, which Thou hast chosen, a great people that cannot be
numbered, nor counted for multitude.'" Surely he speaks of greater than
Solomon at that time. God had made Christ's Son Lord
over all, King of kings and Lord of lords, and he had chosen him
from among the people and had given him a chosen people. He's
the chosen one to lead the chosen one. He's the elect. Isaiah 42, in whom God delighted,
and all were elected in him. He's the Chosen One to lead the
Chosen Ones, who are a great people, that is, which no man
can number. No man can number. Verses 9 and
10. Solomon asks, this is what he asks, "'Give, therefore, thy
servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may
discern between good and bad. Who is able to judge this by
so great a people?' And the speech pleased the Lord that Solomon
had asked this thing." And we're going to soon see what great
understanding and judgment and discernment that Solomon had
in his first, or at least the first recorded acts of his judgment. Great judgment. They're surpassing
all others before or since. We're going to see that in a
moment. But I want you to see him, Proverbs
8, Proverbs chapter 8, he who does not just have wisdom and
discernment, but rather he who is wisdom. There's a difference. When the scripture says, God
is love, it doesn't mean it's something he does. It's part
of his personal nature. God is merciful. God is holy. God is just. That's his character,
his attributes. Christ is wisdom. That's not
our nature. That's not an attribute of ours.
It's something that is imparted to us. It's something that is
learned by us. It's something that is, by God's
grace, given to us, not the Christ. He is. And if you've never read this
chapter, everyone in here, if you've never read this Proverbs
8, I advise you to go home. And you read nothing else in
God's Word until you read this, all of it. And put Christ's name
everywhere where it says, Wisdom or She or Understanding or Knowledge. Put Christ's name there. This
is one of the most glorious passages in all of God's Word. Proverbs
8, It doth not wisdom try, and understanding put forth her voice.
Wisdom for some fact came to this earth, and he cried, come
unto me." Verse 4, "'Unto you, O men, I call. My voice is to
the sons of men.'" Verse 14, "'Counsel is mine, sound wisdom
I am to understand. I have strength.'" Verse 23,
He says, "...and the Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way,
before his works of old," verses 32 and 33, "...and now therefore
hearken unto me, O ye children." We appeal to Christ for our wisdom.
If any man lacks wisdom, let him ask where. Now, hold on. That's where it
comes from. It comes from He who is wisdom.
Hearken unto me, O ye children, for blessed are they that keep
my way. Hear instruction and be wise,
but do it not. Christ is wisdom. So, back to
the text. Great wisdom was given unto Solomon. to judge and discern. Verse 12,
the Lord said, God said concerning Solomon, I have done according
to thy words, lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding
heart, so that there was none like thee before thee, Neither
after thee shall any arise like unto thee." But Christ, as we said, is not
only, does not just have wisdom, He is wisdom. And all judgment
is committed unto the Son, and understanding hearts, all minds,
but none like Him, or worse than Him. None like Him, greater than
others, the greatest of all, greater than Solomon. All judgment
is committed unto Him. Verse 13, I have also given thee
that which thou hast not accessed, both riches and honor. So that
there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee, all
by day." Look over at chapter 4. There's another distribution
of Solomon, chapter 4, which we may not go through completely. Chapter 4, interestingly, verse
7, it says, Twelve law officers over all
Israel, those he set in charge over God's people, which provided
victuals, that is, they fed the people." Does that context speak
of Christ and his apostles who fed the sheep? And it says, verse
20, "...Judah and Israel were many, as the sand which is by
the sea involves to eating, drinking, making marriage. Solomon reigned
over all the kingdoms." Verse 29, God gave Solomon wisdom and
understanding, exceeding much, and largeness of hearts. How
large was his heart? How great was his wisdom and
understanding? It doesn't stand on its own.
This is a joke. And, oh, my, he was Solomon of wisdom and
says, "...excelled the wisdom of all the children of this country,
and all the wisdom of Egypt, that is, of the world." His wisdom
is greater than the Word of God. His wisdom came from above. Verse 31, He was wise within
all men. Wise within all men. Read on. This is too good to
stop. Verse 32, He spake three thousand
Proverbs. People, one proverb is infinite
in its wisdom. We don't have all the proverbs
which Solomon wrote. He wrote more than we have written
down here. Ecclesiastes. One proverb is,
I said this before, I believe that any wise thing which man Any saying which man utters which
bears some wisdom, I guarantee you can find its root in God's
Word. You can find it somewhere where
God already said that. man's not wise by nature. A man's not wise by nature. Solomon wrote 3,000 proverbs.
His songs, we're talking about a prolific songwriter, a thousand
and five. And he's from the cedar tree that is in
Lebanon, even under the hyssop that springs out of the wall.
You can take also a beast, a fowl, and creaking things, and a fish,
and if you read through the Proverbs, you'll see some of those things.
He talks about the wisdom of the spider and the ant, and the
coney, and so on and so forth. And there came, verse 34, of
all people to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all the kings
of the earth to the Virgin of Israel. Now, there never, there
never was a greater man than the wise man of Solomon. Look, he's just a man, but a greater
than Solomon. He's the one of whom Solomon
wrote every prophecy. He's the one who taught Solomon.
He's the one. How many proverbs did our Lord
write? Now, in the world, the scripture
says, could not contain the books. Everything He said was written
down. It couldn't contain the books. And songs? More songs
had been written of Him than all other subjects combined. All right, back to the text.
So, Solomon chapter 3. So Solomon speaks of a greater
than me, and our Lord said concerning Solomon, verse 13, "'I have given
thee that which thou hast not asked.'" Riches and honor. Riches
and honor. Oh, the unsearchable riches of
Christ. Romans 11 says this, Paul said,
O the depths of the riches, both of the wisdom and the knowledge
of God, how unsearchable are his judgments and his ways past
time and time again. And in Revelation 5, the saints,
I've got to turn it back, I want to paraphrase, the saints are
singing this song in glory right now as we meet, they're singing
this song. They're singing a hymn saying,
worthy is the lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and
wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing. And every
creature in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and
in the sea, I heard them saying, blessing, honor, glory, power,
and wisdom. I pray that it be so. Yes, all
the world came to hear silence, all that had been non-worldly.
Well, someday, every single being that has ever been on this earth
will bow to Jesus Christ, the Lord God of Israel. And every
tongue will confess His love to the glory of the Father. None
like Him, greater than Solomon, greatest of all." In our text,
verse 15, it says this, verse 15, Solomon awoke, and behold,
it was a dream. He awoke, and behold, it was
a dream. And he came to Jerusalem and
stood before the Ark of the Covenant, the Lord. Do you see the picture
of Christ in all this? Christ risen from the grave and
going into the Holy of Holies and standing in the presence
of God before the mercies of Jesus. Do you see all that? And it says, he offered up burnt
offerings, and offered peace offerings, and made a feast of
all his servants. Upon receiving his request, Solomon
immediately offered them to the Lord. And that's, this is wisdom.
Solomon shows us not only a picture of Christ, but he shows us the
wisdom that we need. That men and women, the wisdom
we need, they that are wise, truly wise, not the wisdom this
world teaches, but the wisdom which God teaches, they that
are truly wise, seek Him who is wisdom. They seek Him. They don't seek great things
for themselves. They seek to know Him with His
grace. They don't seek degrees and names and titles and so forth,
attainments for themselves. They seek to give Him all praise
and honor and title and glory and honor. The men you know and
esteem highly as preachers of the gospel, and one of them got
a doctorate assignment. I won't take it. I like when
Brother Terry one of them. He said, one time somebody choked
him. He said, doctor, where is it? He said, hold it there. And
that Georgia brawler here, he said, wait just a minute. He said, I'm not even a good
practical nurse. I'm not a doctor. He's in a great
position. I don't know what's happening
to him. Hold it right where it's his now. Those that are truly
wise do not consider themselves self-evident. Those that are
truly wise speak first of the kingdom of God and His righteousness,
and always thank for everything. Those who are truly wise offer
up praise and thanksgiving to their God, like Solomon. First thing he did was go and
offer praise and thanksgiving to God. Those who are truly wise
see Him first, before making any judgment. Solomon had yet
to make his first judgment. What did he do? Solomon did his
Lord, who went before his God. And so should we who are truly
wise. And that offering that he made, oh, what a picture of
Christ that is, who made that burnt offering, peace offering,
and what a feast it is of his servants, his people, my body,
my blood. All right, now here's the great
example of Solomon's wisdom. I think you're going to enjoy
this. I hope you've enjoyed what's gone before. Here's the great
example of Sodomism, a great example. This is just one. This
is just one man. Martin, this is just his first
one. This is his first judgment report. Imagine what all went
on, what all came before, and all the hard questions. We're
going to see that in 1 Kings 10. Queen. But two harlots, it
says, verse 16. Two harlots came there before
unto the king, and they stood before him. They stood before
him. Two hearts. Why do these women,
why do they give us the story of two hearts? Well, because
this is a picture of Christ. This is a picture of Christ,
and all who stand before him are sinners. These two women,
think of the word sinner, woman. The stories of women with children.
Think of the worst woman, the most despicable person, woman
you can think of on the earth. A harlot. A harlot. So the Lord uses this example
of two harlots. These were two sinful women.
Without a doubt, these were sinful women, weren't they? They were
guilty. They had two illegitimate children. Couldn't be worse, could it?
Two women living together, both of them harlots, with illegitimate
children. That's bad. And they come before
the king to be judged by him. You see the picture here?
All that sin. and comes short of the glory
of God. We're all sinners before God, the worst kind, all guilty,
all unworthy. Two harvests? What do two harvests
deserve from the king? What do two harvests expect to
get from the king? And what can two harvests give
to the king? What can two harvests offer unto
the king? Kevin, you read that tonight
from Job. If Yahweh was righteous, is this
what you do to God? If you do evil, what do you do?
You can't touch Him. You can't do anything for Him
or anything against Him. Isn't that what Elijah said?
What can two-hearteders do for or against God? He doesn't need
these two-hearteders. So they've got a desperate case,
though. One of them. One of them. And
all are guilty, all are unworthy. King can get nothing from us.
You see why it presents two harlots? He's one of the businessmen of
the empire, King. He should have taken them both
out immediately. Get out of here. Shouldn't he? What am I to do
with the king? Would he hurt their feelings? And all
are guilty, and all are worthy, and all shall stand before the
king of kings to be judged by him. Now, this story of the two
harlots was a matter of what? Life or death. Are you with me? This was a matter
of life or death. The king hears to determine who
gets life and who gets death. Right? The Lord says, I kill,
I make alive. He's going to grant life to one
and death to the other. And so all men and women shall
stand before the King of kings and judge of judges, and glory
to the Lord, to be judged by him, to be granted either life
or death. And so this is a fact. This is the first scripture,
and this is the greatest history. See the wisdom of our God in
bringing up this first illustration. Now, here's a story, and I will
not read it again, but these two women, both of them had children
within three days of each other. And they were sleeping, and one
of the women rolled over and suffocated her child. And she
being an evil woman, how could she do something like this? She
did it anyway. She took that dead child of hers
and put it in the bed with the other woman and took the other
woman's live child and put it in her bed with her. And when the woman, when they
both woke up, the woman whose live child, she looked and saw
it was dead. She saw this bed, and she began
to examine it, and every woman knows her own child. She began
to examine it, and she saw, this is not my child. And she looked
at the other child and said, but you have my child. No, it's
my child. Well, they're going to have to
appeal to someone who knows. They both argue. One argues this,
no, this is my child, the live child. The other says, no, it's
my child. And they argued back and forth. Both claimed the living child.
Whose child is it? Whose child is it? And so Solomon said this in verse
24. Here's what's going to discern. This is what's going to discern
the very thoughts and feelings of the heart. Bring what? What? A sword. You don't answer that. You of
all people ought to know that. Bring a sword. This is going
to discern the truth of God. This is going to discern Bring a sword behind the child
and say, I cut it in half. Yes it is. That's not fair. No it's not. Who said anything about that?
He said, just judge. Bring the sword. Cut in half. Well, the woman, verse 26, in
his faith, the woman who's the living child of God. Can you
imagine? She cried out. She didn't escape. Oh, this is life and death. This
is her child. This is her loved one. She does
this to me. She cries out. She cries out. Her bowels. Oh, she heard this
in her heart yearning. See, here's the root of the matter.
It's in the Bible. It's not in the speech. The king's
going to determine. He's looking for the heart of
the matter, not what they're saying. He's not listening. And
he's going to discern it with a sword. Her bowels yearned upon her son,
and she said, Oh, my Lord, give her a living child. No, I say. But the other, her
mouth, her words condemned her mouth. She tried to justify herself
by her words before. But in the end, her words are
going to condemn her. And she says, now leave the big man for
that. And the king said, verse 26, Jerusalem's
over. Give her her son. She's the one. I was very clear about it, the
true mother is where the love is found, whose battle we earn
for the child, didn't want it to die, but would rather give
it up than for it to die. She's the mother. Oh my, and
how Oh, now, how God's Word. We're going to turn there in
a minute. Well, go ahead and turn, Hebrews chapter 4. No, no, no,
no, no. Listen, before that, where did
Solomon get this wisdom? Did he just have it? Did God
give him this wisdom that no man had ever had before? No sir, no he did not. He had more of it in abundance
in one man, but he, it wasn't something new. He didn't have
something new. There's nothing new on the psalms. Adam lived 970 years. 930 years. Didn't he do anything? No one. And he was the righteous
man for 365 years. Did he have any wisdom? I'm sure
that he did. Where did Solomon get this wisdom? You say to him, God, yes, well,
where? Where? Just pull it out of the
sky? Huh? He says, you lay right back
here. Where are you from? Where did
he get this wig? He got it from God. He just did
it. Yes, he did. His daddy wrote
a bunch of psalms. He did that. He wrote one whole
psalm, 119, 175 verses, and said, Where's Solomon getting wisdom?
There's a story. He got it from the Father. He
got it from his Father. He got it from the Father. He
got it from God's Word. There's a story in 2 Samuel 19. You don't have to turn. If you
want to read this later on, you do well. 2 Samuel 19. There's
a story of two men in David's lifetime. David was the king
on the throne. And there are two men that came
before David, one named Paphibosheth and one named Ziba, his servant. And they both had conflicting
stories and testimonies. Ziba, the servant, said, Paphibosheth's
a liar. Paphibosheth said, no, Ziba's
a liar. Ziba said, Paphibosheth's a cheat. The fiddle chef said, no, Ziba's
the king. Ziba said, the fiddle chef wants
to usurp the throne. He saw something. He was hoping
David would never come back to the throne. That's what Ziba
said. He was hoping David would never return so he could be king
himself. And Ziba said, that's not true
at all. I love Ziba. He's lying to me. Who's true? This is where Solomon
got his wisdom. How does David know? Well, here's
what David did. Here's what David did. He said,
There's a matter of a bunch of land and possessions and great
riches which pertain unto Mephibosheth and the house of Saul. Remember,
David gave back to Mephibosheth all that pertained to Jonathan
his father. Remember that? Great riches and houses and lands
and all that. And so David said to both of
them, I don't want to hear any more of the matter. You two divide
the land. Richard, in the house of his
land, he said, you two just take the property. I don't want to
talk. I don't want to hear anymore. I don't know who to tell the truth. Yes, he did. Richard just had his
time in the parish. He communed with him in the parish.
They didn't talk to him. He talked to David. He knew his
heart. He knew him. The great King David knew him.
The man after God's own heart knew his plan. Y'all take the
land, divide it between you. Ziba, who, that's all he wanted
anyway, he said, that's good, yeah, that's good, let's divide
it. That's what he left for anyway.
And Mephibosheth, no, said, no, give it all to him. Mephibosheth
said, give it all to Ziba, I don't want it, all I want is my king. Where's Ziba? From the Word of
God that was written in 2 Samuel. Who wrote down 2 Samuel? We don't
know. But that's where it got that. Where does wisdom come from? From God's Word. Christ is wisdom
personified. Now turn to Hebrews 4. Now you
can turn. In closing. Here's my closing
verse. Hebrews 4. The Word of God. is the wisdom of God. Christ
is wisdom personified. When Christ is written in the
volume of the book, it is written of Him. This is Christ in work,
written word, in the written Word. Hebrews 4 says this, verse
8, the Word of God is quick and powerful and sharper than any
two-edged sword." Piercing. Read on with me. Piercing.
You need to mark this verse with it. Piercing. This is what the
Word of God is. Pierces. Paul writes about the
Word of God as if it's a scalpel in the hands of a surgeon. And
it is. This is what God uses to operate
with. This is what God uses to dissect
man and woman. Because outward, God doesn't
look on outward counts. God splits a man open, gets down
to his very thoughts, and recesses them in his heart, to love him
and maintain freedom. And he does it with the words,
the words of discernment. Pearson says, "...dividing asunder
soul and spirit, joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts
and intents of the heart, neither is there any creature that is
not manifest in his sight." His sight? I thought you were talking
about God's Word. It is. It is. One and the same, Christ and
His Word. All things are naked and open under the eyes of Him
with whom we have faith. Do you see what God uses to divide,
to discern, to distinguish? Huh? This is what God uses to
distinguish the truth from the false. And in many, everybody
says, Everybody says many different things, don't they? I'm true. I'm true. No, I don't
believe. I don't believe. Who's true? He believes the truth. How much
of it? All of it. God's Word comes like
salt. God is just. Ah, wait a minute. I think God's salt. Whatever God's word said, the
terrible, the dreadful God. I was using those words while
I was there. That's a scriptural term. Those of you who know the
scripture understood what I was doing. When Solomon took that
sword, oh how terrible. That's what David said about
him. About God. How dreadful. That's what David
said. About God. The men and women of our generation
know that because one word. And they don't know that they're
right. And God's Word is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of
the heart. And whatever God's Word says,
those that are true, say, true Lord. You remember that woman,
the power of the nation woman, when the Lord ignored her? She'd go off in a huff. Down
in a huff. Who's he thinking to ignore him
at the time? The whole world crying out for God to answer them. God had to. Who's the truth? Those who say
God didn't have to. The true ones are those who say,
I'm surprised he didn't hear me at all. Those that are true say, with
David, in Psalm 2, who are they? In Psalm 8, what is man if he
reminds you of me? Why would God even put up with
me for one minute, that long, to answer my prayers? Who's true? Who's true? Who's living? The living from
the dead. God's word divides between the
living and the dead. The head's word. Whose heart
beats. Whose heart beats. Not only just
acknowledging the truth, Scripture says, but loving the truth. God knows who loves the truth.
Not just... Well, I say, I understand. That woman's heart yearned for
her child. Let the Son live. And all of
God's true people, their hearts yearned after Christ the Son.
They said, let Him live forever. Amen? God's Word is discernment
between the lover of Christ and those who are just religious.
Again, God's Word is discernment So yes, it's greater than solitude,
God's Word. Doesn't all of God's Word supersede
and go far greater than just solitude? Now, this is all the
words of Christ Himself, not only what Solomon wrote, but
what Daniel wrote, what Isaiah wrote, what Jeremiah, Ezekiel,
Daniel, Joseph, Paul, Peter, James, John, all of that. It all has to do with dictating
the Qur'an and creating that Solomon. And those that are truly
wise, like Solomon, will appeal unto Him. Those sinners, like
this woman in our earth, will feel on their hands that they
have our mercy, and they will do what's right. Shall not the
judge of the earth be right? How does God know? He knows.
He discerned it. All right, stand with me. We thank you for your work. It
truly is your power. And we have experienced a little
bit of it. A little bit of it. It's our
Christian power. Divided. We see how you came
to bring a sword. You're going to divide between
a husband and wife, father and son, mother and daughter. We
see that. Though it seems hard, yet thou
art judge of all the earth, and true of just, and all that thou
doest. We esteem your word. We esteem
you. Thy word is right concerning
all things, and therefore we have every policy in place. For
by Your mercy and grace, we are loved by truth. Thank You, Lord. Thank You, Lord. One to whom
we appeal, greater than the Son, who is our wisdom, made of us,
wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. We judge you
all here by the Lord Jesus Christ. We send Him His name and measure
to knowledge. Amen. Here is to you. I don't know.
