Evening. Open with me, if you
will, to Mark chapter six. Mark chapter six. Mark six, we're going to start
reading in verse 30. Earlier in this chapter, our
Lord sent out the twelve, the apostles, two by two to preach. And here in Mark 630, they've
returned. And the apostles gathered themselves
together unto Jesus and told him all things, both what they
had done and what they had taught. And he said unto them, come ye
yourselves apart into a desert place and rest a while. For there
were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as
to eat. And they departed into a desert
place by ship privately. And the people saw them departing,
and many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all the cities,
and out went them, and came together unto him." These people that
saw him, he was leaving. He didn't let anyone know where
he was departing to, but they knew him. and in knowing Him,
they knew where He was going. And they outwent Him. They wanted
to be with Him, and they wanted to be where He was. Verse 34,
And Jesus, when He came out, saw much people and was moved
with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep, not
having a shepherd. And He began to teach them many
things. And when the day was now far
spent, His disciples came unto him and said, This is a desert
place, and now the time is far past. Send them away, that they
may go into the country round about, and into the villages,
and buy themselves bread, for they have nothing to eat. He
answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall
we go and buy? 200 penny worth of bread and
give them to eat? Our Lord instructed his disciples,
give ye them to eat. And they said, who is sufficient
for such things? We have nothing we're with to
feed them. Shall we go and get it ourselves?
He saith unto them, how many loaves have ye? Go and see. They went out and searched diligently. That's not written here. But
when they knew, when they knew how many loaves they had among
all those people, they say five and two fishes. And he commanded
them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass.
And they sat down in ranks by hundreds and by fifties. And
when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked
up to heaven and blessed, and break the loaves, and gave them
to his disciples to set before them. And the two fishes divided
he among them all, and they did all eat, and were filled." Our
Lord blessed the bread and the fishes, and he distributed to
his disciples, and they did as he commanded, give ye them to
eat. And they did all eat, and were
filled, and more abundantly than they needed. For in verse 43,
and they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments and of
the fishes. John 17 and verse 17. John 17 and verse 17. Our Lord, in this prayer for
His people, He asks his Father here, sanctify them through thy
truth. Thy word is truth. Sanctify them
through thy truth. Thy word is truth. Our blessed
Savior prays for his people and he asks certain things for them.
He asks for the Father to do certain things for them. He makes
petitions for them. And our Lord says, my Father
doeth always hear me. I'm never alone. I'm never alone. And he prays for us to be kept.
And we need keeping. Oh, how we need keeping. He said,
I've kept them and I've lost none of them, but the son of
perdition, that the scriptures might be fulfilled. But now I'm
no longer here. You keep them, Father. You keep
them. You keep them. And then keep them, not only
just keep them, but keep them from the evil. Keep them from
the evil one. And then he prayed, you know
that I pray that my joy would be fulfilled in them. And then
he tells us how we're going to be kept in this world. When he
tells us to be kept from the evil one and to be kept, how
are we to be kept in this world by him sanctifying us? That's how it's done. You know,
he said in verse 15, I pray not that thou shouldest take them
out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the
evil. They are not of the world as
I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth.
Thy word is truth. So he prays for us to be sanctified. That word sanctified means to
be holy. It has the same meaning all the
way through the scriptures. Same meaning. Whenever you find
that word sanctified, it means to regard holy. It means to set
apart, to regard as holy. It's like God, he set Mount Sinai
apart. When he came down to give his
law, he said, put a rope around it. Keep everybody off of this mountain.
This is my mountain. This is where I'm gonna meet
with Moses. Anybody comes near me, they're a beast or a man,
they're gonna die. Don't come near me. He even sanctified
my Sinai. Set it apart in the tabernacle.
The tabernacle was set apart strictly for God's use. Strictly
for God's use. And everything in that had vessels
in it. The tabernacle had vessels. and
you know they had the same kind of vessels in the house but when
God said I want that vessel set in my tabernacle that then was
regarded as holy and set apart by God and that's all it was
ever to be used for strictly for the service of God and it
you know you could have the same thing in your house but when
God said you take this vessel and you put it in this tabernacle,
and the priest went in there and sanctified it with blood,
and God said, that's mine. Never be used for anything common
anymore. Never, just for me. But I'll
tell you something else, this word sanctify never, never has
any reference to an inward cleansing. Never has, you know, they talk
about progressive sanctification, like there's something that you'll
get better at, you'll get more holy, get more pure. When you
find the word sanctified throughout the scripture, it never has reference
to an inward cleansing, and especially not the eradication of the carnal
nature. We'll have this carnal nature
with us as long as we live. There's an old man, some of y'all
might remember him, Frank Sapp. He lived to be 100 years old.
And old Frank, I asked him one time, he was way up around 80
then. I said, Frank, I said, you surely
don't have no problems with sin and the flesh and stuff anymore,
do you? He said, oh, my. He said, it just goes from one
thing to another. You just get older, you see,
and just get to be different. He says, you know, said, oh,
not this. 80 years old, I said, I still have problems with this
awful thing. And I tell you, that's what our Lord Jesus said
here in verse 19, talking about sanctify, has nothing to do with
inward cleansing, not the eradication of the carnal nature. And this
is what our Lord says, for their sakes, I sanctify myself. He certainly doesn't need to
be cleansed. He certainly doesn't need to
have a new nature, because he was holy. He was perfectly holy,
holy from all eternity, holy while he was here. Perfect in
every part of his being. And then he said over here, I
believe it's in John 10, 36. Look what he says about being
sanctified. John 10, 36. And I tell you, there's people
who actually believe that they can be made better and be more
sanctified in this life when God himself defined what sanctified
means. It means to regard as holy, set
apart for the use of God, set apart for the tabernacle, set
apart for the temple. This is it. And he said here
in John 10.36, Say ye of him, this is what they say about Christ,
whom the Father hath sanctified. The Father sanctified him. The
Father set him apart. The Father set him apart to a
work. The Father set him apart to be a sacrifice. The Father
set him apart to be the only begotten. The Father set him
apart to be holy. The Father set him apart to be
our Savior and our Lord and our Master, our sin offering and
our sacrifice. God set him apart for a particular
work and for a particular thing to do, set him apart to bring
glory to his Father. Set him apart to a work. And
he says, and he said, you know that the Father sanctified and
sent into the world. And they said, well, you blaspheme.
And the father sanctified, and they blasphemed. He said, you
blasphemers, why? Because I said, I am the son
of God. Oh, so he knows, so it doesn't
make him any better. So sanctify is not gonna make
you any better. It regards you as holy, and God
set him apart to a work. And I'll tell you something about
the word sanctification. It's a word that describes our
whole salvation from beginning to end. We are sanctified by
the Godhead, by the blessed Trinity. And this thing called sanctified,
when you call it about being regarded as holy and set apart,
I believe that that one word can describe our salvation from
beginning to end. And I believe I can make that
good in this message tonight. I believe I can make that good.
We are set apart first and foremost and sanctified by God the Father.
And our Lord Jesus Christ here is praying for the Father to
sanctify us. And he has. You keep John 17.
Look over here in Jude. Jude is the last little book,
one chapter, one chapter before the book of Revelation. And look
what it says here. We're sanctified by all the Father,
the Son, and the Holy Ghost. And Jude, over here in Jude,
look what he says. Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ,
the brother of James. Now listen to this, to them that
are sanctified by God the Father, set apart by God, regarded holy
by God. When God said, be ye holy as
I am holy, most folks set out to start trying to be holy. When
God said, be ye holy as I am holy, He makes us what He demands
for us to be. He provides for us to be that.
If He says you got to be holy as I am, He's going to make us
holy as He is. And how are we holy in Him? Because
we're in Him who is holy. So we're sanctified by God the
Father. And this is God's eternal predestination
of His people. You know when He set us apart?
He set us apart in Christ from Adam's fallen race. Before Adam
ever failed, God had a Savior and He had a people given to
those people, to our Savior. And we were set apart before
Adam was ever brought into this earth, we were set apart from
Adam's fallen race. He said here seven times, those
that thou hast given me. We were set apart by God the
Father in the eternal covenant of grace to be Christ's people
and Christ come here to redeem them that God gave him. We're
set apart and regarded, if God never, listen, I'm telling you
something, God never viewed us in Adam, he's always only viewed
us in Christ. Now that's right, now I didn't
know that until I found it out in the Bible. I know what it's
like to try to be holy and live a good holy life. It don't work. It don't work. But when you find
out that God had a lamb slain from the foundation of the world,
why was he the lamb slain from the foundation of the world?
Because he had a people that God had to view in his blessed
son or he had destroyed the whole human race. So he had us set
apart, sanctified by God the Father. Oh, the Lord Jesus, He
was God's first elect and we were chosen in Him. And I'll
tell you what it says in Ephesians 1, 3, and 4. Blessed be the God
and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with
all spiritual blessings in heavenly places, according as He has chosen
us in Christ. Now, when before the foundation
of the world, and you know why? That we might be holy and without
blame before Him. I was talking about that joy. Oh, that'll make that heart leap
for joy, won't it? Oh, to be holy and without blame
before Him. And then not only are we sanctified
by God the Father, we're sanctified in our Lord Jesus Christ. Our
Lord Jesus Christ sanctified us. We're set apart by Him and
in Him. In fact, 1 Corinthians 1.30 says
that, you know, He is our sanctification. God made Christ unto us our wisdom,
our righteousness, our sanctification, and our redemption. Now, I'm
gonna show you some things. Look over here in Hebrews 13.
Oh, look at Hebrews 13. Oh, this is sanctified. Oh, they
said, boy, I want to be sanctified. I'll tell you what, I want the
Lord to sanctify me. Well, bless His holy name, He
has. He has. And people say, this
makes people antinomians. That means they're without law.
Well, they're dead right about that for me. I'm without all. I'm not without law to Christ.
I have the law of liberty in Christ, but I'm not under any
moral law. I'm not under any ceremonial
law. I'm not under any curse. I'm not under any kind of a law.
As far as God's concerned, Christ redeemed us and set us apart
from under that law because he did everything that was required
of us in that law. But look here in Hebrews chapter
13 and verse 12. Wherefore Jesus also, that he
might sanctify the people, now listen to this, with his own
blood, suffered without decay. He went outside Jerusalem, he
went outside the camp, he went outside where all the God's people
would gather around that tabernacle. They all had a place around that
tabernacle. Well, I tell you what, he went
outside because God's people is outside. They're not among
religion. They're not of this world. And
he said he went outside the camp and he sanctified, set us apart,
made us holy by his blood. Look over in Hebrews 10. I love
this. I love this. Hebrews 10. Oh,
listen, he said, the will of God that Christ came to accomplish
By the which will, Hebrews 10.10, by the which will, we are sanctified. The will of God. Christ came,
he said, I delight to do your will, O Lord, I delight to do
thy will. By the which will that Christ
came to delight to do. By the which will, we are sanctified
through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. Look down at verse 14. For by
one offering he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified."
Already been sanctified. Oh, what a gospel, what a gospel,
what a gospel. And oh, listen, He sanctified
us by His blood, He sanctified us by His offering Himself. So
I'll tell you what, we're sanctified by God the Father, sanctified
by our Lord Jesus Christ, and as He is in this world, even
so are we, as He is now in this world. And then we're not only
sanctified by God the Father, sanctified by God the Son, but
we're sanctified by the Holy Spirit. The whole Godhead's involved
in our sanctification. You all know this verse of Scripture
very well. I won't have you look at it,
but you know this very well. Paul said, Brethren, we're bound
always to thank God for you, because God hath from the beginning
chosen you unto salvation. Now listen to it. Through sanctification
of the Spirit. and belief of the truth. Set
apart to believe the truth. The Holy Spirit sets us apart
after God set us apart in his eternal purpose and predestination.
Christ come here and sanctified us by his blood and by his offering.
Then the Holy Spirit comes along with the gospel and then he separates
us from the world and separates us from error, separates from
our lives and our religion and brings us to the belief of the
truth. He said, oh, you know, ain't that what happens to you
out here in the world? When you're out here in religion,
God reached down and all of a sudden, something starts happening to
you. You start hearing things and you start wondering. And
then God comes along and he sends you the gospel. And what he does
is he sets you apart by that very gospel. Out of the world,
out of religion, and the spirit. And you know what he does when
he sets you apart? He sets you apart to do what? Believe the
truth. To believe the truth. And I tell
you by the truth, ain't that what our Lord said here in verse
17 of John 17, 17? Sanctify them through thy truth. Thy word is truth. You know what
separates us from the world? The truth. The truth actually
sets people apart. That's what sets us apart from
the world. The whole world lies in wickedness. I know that, you
know that. But the truth is what God uses
to set us apart. And He set us apart by effectual
calling through sanctification of the Spirit and the sprinkling
of blood. He set us apart in our calling. He called us eternally,
called us effectually, and He set us apart in our calling.
Where did He set us apart from? Out of the world. And our sanctification
is before... I'm going to tell you something.
Our sanctification, our being set apart and regarded as holy
is before we believe It's even before our justification. What
sanctification is, it's a description of our position in this before
God. We're not in the world. Sanctification
comes before believing and before justification. Do you think I
can prove that? I believe I can. You know, see,
that's what this business of being set apart has to do with.
God says, that's mine. He set us apart in His eternal
predestinating purpose. He come along and while we was
in this world, our Lord Jesus Christ set us apart by His blood,
by His offering. The Holy Spirit comes and sets
us apart by the truth, by believing the gospel. So sanctification,
being set apart, is why we believe what we do and why we're not
of the world. I told you it had to do with your salvation. Look
over here in 1 Corinthians. Keep John 7. Look in 1 Corinthians
6. Look what he says over here.
1 Corinthians 6.11. You see, sanctification is a
description of our position. Now there are some people out
there that God It's already set apart in His eternal purpose.
And that Christ has died for it, shed His blood for it. But
the truth, the Spirit hasn't come to them and brought them
to a belief of the truth. They're set apart, but when God's
time and God's will and God's purpose goes along, He's going
after them because they've been set apart And Christ died for
them, and sure enough, you know what they'll do? God will bring
them to a place where they'll hear the truth and believe it
when they hear it. Ain't that right? Every one of
us is a testimony of that. I believed a lie all my life
until I heard the truth. I didn't only believe a lie,
I preached a lie. And you all believed a lie. We
believed a lie about ourselves. Oh, what liars we was to ourselves.
And then God comes along with the blessed gospel of his grace,
and he brings this blessed truth to our ears, and we just, and
all of a sudden our ears start tingling, said, oh, I never heard
nothing like that before. And then a preacher comes along
and confirms that, and you just, we go to dancing in our souls.
Our soul's gonna dance and our soul's gonna rejoice, and we
sometimes think we ain't gonna be able to sit still. First time
I went to 13th Street and heard Henry preach at 13th Street,
I said, why in the world ain't these people standing up hollering,
amen, amen? You know, that's what I wanted
to do. I wanted to get up and run up there and hug his neck
and say, thank you! Because I heard a gospel that
set me apart from where I'd ever been before. Bless his name. But look what he said here in
1 Corinthians 6 and verse 11, talking about what we were. And
such were some of you, but you are washed, you are sanctified,
but you are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ
and by the Spirit of our God. Oh my. That's our position, sanctified
by the Holy Spirit in the new birth. Now look back over here
with me in John 17. Let's look at this word, truth. Sanctify them through thy truth. Through thy truth. Thy word is
truth. Thy word is truth. Sanctify them
through the truth. Thy word is truth. You know,
this Word of God, this precious, precious Word, you go through
the Scriptures, and in the New Testament alone, how many times
does it says, thus saith the Scripture, and the Scripture
saith, and God saith. Oh, I couldn't begin to count
them, but the Scripture saith. And so that's what we do. We
say, well, the Bible saith, or the Scripture saith, or the Word
of God saith. And the written Word is what
keeps setting us apart. Not only has it set us apart,
but it keeps setting us apart. It keeps separating us. It keeps,
it keeps, and not only that, but it keeps us, but it keeps
us from evil. As we hear the word and hear
the gospel, it just keeps setting us apart. And that's why we come,
you know why we come to here? So we can hear about Christ and
what he's done for us, but also to get some food, get some strength,
get some encouragement and get some instruction and get some
correction so we can go back out here in this world and live
hopefully by the grace of God to the glory of God. And he says,
you know, thy word is truth. Thy word is truth. There's nothing
in this blessed book but truth, the truth. And I'll tell you
something about the truth. Do you know God never convinced
anybody that he existed? He never tried to convince anybody
he existed, he just declared that he is. And if the Holy Spirit
declares to you that he is, ain't nobody gonna convince you that
he ain't. Ain't that right? People go on and on about you,
don't believe the words of God, don't make good decisions, he,
she or whoever. God, you know, God said in the
beginning, God. And theology is the science of
God. Well, theology is this whole book. It's about God. It's the
truth. It's the truth. And thy word is truth. The written
word is pure, unadulterated truth. I love the word, the naked truth,
unadulterated truth, pure truth. That's what I love. Look in Psalm
19. This is how God describes it. This is how God describes His
Word to us. In Psalm 19, in verse 7. There's no error. There is no error in the Scriptures. No error. And I've told you before
why I love the King James Version. is because it's the only version
of the Bible, a translation of the Bible, that when the translators
translated it, when they added a word, they put it in italics.
No other versions does that. They change the words, they'll
change them around and all that. But this is the only one, the
King James Version, is the only one, whenever you see italicized
words, that they were honest enough to say, these are the
words that we have. Sometimes it makes sense of the word, sometimes
you can leave it out, and it still makes the same sense. But
look at Psalm 19 and verse 7. The law of the Lord is perfect,
and that word law means the word, or as it says in the margin,
the doctrine, the doctrine. Not talking about the moral law,
the Ten Commandments, the doctrine of the Lord is perfect, converting
the soul. The testimony of the Lord is
sure, and guess what it does? It takes simple men, makes them
wise. The statutes of the Lord are
right. They rejoice the heart. The commandment
of the Lord is pure. It opens the eyes. It enlightens
the eyes. The fear of the Lord is clean,
enduring forever. The judgments of the Lord are
true and righteous altogether. And oh, listen to what he says.
More to be desired are they than gold. Yea, much more than fine
gold. Sweeter also than honey and the
honeycomb. And listen to this. Moreover,
by them is thy servant warned. And in them, and in keeping of
them, there is great reward. Huh? Oh my. He said it's pure. It's pure. God says it's pure. And I tell you, thy word is truth.
The word is God's truth. The word is God's truth. And
beloved, I've said this, and you know it, and you believe
it, that right here, this blessed book right here, is the final
authority for what we're to believe. I stake my soul on what God says
in this book. I'm gonna face God for what God
taught me out of this book right here. I'm gonna go out into eternity,
I'm gonna draw my last breath, and my eyelids are gonna close
in death one of these days, and I'm gonna face God by what he
taught me out of this blessed book. And I won't need to put
it under my pillow to keep it. I won't have to do that. I don't
have to do that. I tell you, beloved, it's the
final authority. It's my final authority in my
salvation. It's my final authority in how
I'm supposed to conduct myself in this world. It's my final
authority when I go to face God. It's what God said and that's
the final authority. It'll be the final authority
for us to deal with God Himself. And everything, everything that
we hear is to be tested by the blessed truth, by the word of
truth, tested by the scriptures, tested by what God said. Take
our thoughts. Our thoughts ought to be formed
by God's words. How we think ought to be conformed
by God's word. We think different than the world
does. We think different than our friends think. We think different
than our brothers and sisters think. Our thoughts are formed
by what God says. And our conduct, our conduct
in this world is to be regulated by God's word. not by what the
church tells us to do or what some priest or rabbi tells us
to do. You know, you see these priests
walk up to these little kids and take a wafer and stick them
on their mouth and stick them on their mouth and then take
a cup and pour it down their throat and their little old kids
see them take a baby and throw water on it and say, now it's
set apart here. Oh, listen, our conduct is regulated
by the Word of God. We don't need no priest, rabbi,
preacher, or church, or nobody else setting up rules for us,
how we're to dress, where we're to go, and where we can't go,
what we can do, what we can think, and what we can say, and how
we ought to dress. We don't have to have that stuff. God's Word tells us how to live
in this world. And oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, what
a high value we should place upon God's blessed word. I mean,
what a high value when God himself said, and you know what he said
about the church? He said, the church is the pillar,
the column, the support and ground of the truth. It supports the
truth and its foundation is the truth. The church is the one,
God's people, is the pillar and ground of the truth. And oh,
what a high value we ought to place on His word. And that's
why I said if truth sets us apart, if truth sanctifies us, you know
what error does to us then? Error will lead us to evil. Error
will lead us to evil. You know what our Lord said?
A little leaven leavens the whole lump. Just a little bit leavens
the whole lump. And that's all it takes, is just
a little leaven and the whole lump's loose. The whole thing's
ruined. So you know, if truth sets us
apart and sanctifies us, then a lie and error will lead us
to evil. And oh, just a little leaven,
leaven the whole lump. You know, the devil's lies plunged
us and the human race into sin and death. And as poison is to
the body, so is error to the soul. You know, you can take
a whole glass of water, and if it's just pure water, it won't
hurt you. But you let somebody take cyanide
or some kind of poison and just put one drop in, then it ceases
to be a glass of water. It becomes a glass of poison.
And that's the way it is with the Word of God. If you don't
keep it pure, error will slip in. Glory. And I've said this
before, you know, and the thing is, is the devil just don't come
in here and start telling lies. That's not the way he works.
He comes in just a little bit at a time and says, you know,
I think this here would be a better way of saying that. I think this
would be a better way of dealing with that. I think that, you
know, I think that verse of scripture there doesn't mean what you think
it means. I think we ought to change it
to be this, that, or the other. The next thing you know, you
start down, you just take a hair's breadth off. The next thing you
know, after a while, you're not on a hair's breadth off. You
got a whole bunch of folks being led astray. It happens, don't
it, Gary? It happens. And oh, listen, we got doctrines
of devils and doctrines of men, but oh, give us the doctrine
of God, the doctrine of Christ. And our Lord said, and take heed
how you hear, take heed how you hear. You know, and let me say
this in closing, the sanctified vessels that God used in the
tabernacle used in the temple were never ever used for common
purposes. Never, never, never. Once they
were set apart in that tabernacle and set apart in that temple,
they were never ever used for anything else but for what they
stayed in that place and they were used for that purpose. And
that's what it is. Sanctified vessels were never
used for common purposes and we're not used for common purposes. God's got us set apart, not for
common purposes. We're his people. He said, and
I said it this morning, we're not our own. We don't belong
to ourselves. He bought us and he paid for
us. And we belong to him. And I want to belong to Him.
Do you want to belong to Christ? I want to belong to Him. I want
Him to say, Oh, yes, He's mine. And I, yes, I want to be owned
by Him. Whenever I come to, you know,
when you come to face eternity, when it says, they that believe
it shall not be ashamed. I'll tell you what, when we go
out into eternity, Christ is going to say, Oh yeah, that's
more mine. That's mine. The devil comes along, you know,
and he accuses the brethren. Our Lord Jesus Christ says, oh,
listen, both he that sanctifies and they are sanctified are one. See, I got two fingers up there,
but you can't see them. You know why? Because one's behind
the other. And that's the way we are in
Christ. You know, God sees us and sees Christ, and we're right
behind him and right in him, and he can't see nothing but
the Lord Jesus. Huh? Oh, my. And let me say this. And I think this is so good.
This is so good. I'll put it in a bulletin soon.
The gospel of Christ does not so much take the believer out
of the world as take the world out of the believer. I'll say that again. The gospel
of Christ does not so much take the believer out of the world
as take the world out of the believer. Yep. That's kind of
like, you know, taking the boy out of the country, but you can't
take the country out of the boy. Well, God don't take us out of
the world. He takes the world out of us. Bless his holy name. Oh, Lord Jesus, thank you for
another blessed day. Thank you for the gospel. Thank
you for the truth. Oh, precious truth. Thank you
for the good attention of your saints. Thank you for their faithfulness
and their love and generosity and kindness. Thank you for the
scriptures we've heard today. Thank you for the prayers that's
been prayed. Thank you for my dear brethren. And Lord, thank
you for the sisters. God bless. Lord, honor yourself
through us. Lord, we want to be yours. Oh,
Father, we want you to own us. We're bought with your blood.
We belong to you. So Lord, thank you. Thank you,
thank you, thank you that you took us to be your own. your
children, your people, your vessels, your treasure, your vessels of
mercy, vessels of honor. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Thank
you. Blessed be your name. Amen. Amen.
