Attaining the Resurrection

We're gonna be in the book of Philippians chapter three. Philippians chapter three. Here in our text, we have an interesting statement that Paul gives us that if left to our human nature and our own devices, left to our own conclusion, we will come up with a idea that it means I must do something in order to get something. Most of, and actually all of false religion literally declares that statement.

I must do something in order to get something. The problem is is there's nothing in my flesh that I can do in order to please God. So if God is requiring me to do something and yet I can't do anything but sin in my flesh, what's my hope? I don't have any then, right? I don't know myself. I don't have any.

A lot of people believe that they have a responsibility unto the hope of a reward. And I mentioned this the first hour, if we believe that we're doing something in order to attain something, such as a crown, such as a jewel in the crown, such as God noticing us, and I remember very clearly feeling that thought of sitting higher than my fellow man based upon what I knew or what I didn't do or what I did.

In doing all that, all that that is is self-righteousness. That's all that it is. Nothing can be further from the truth than to tell somebody you have a responsibility if you want a reward when it comes to God. If you do not do this, then God will not do that. If you do this, then you're obligating God to do that. That's what other men say. What is the responsibility of man?

To believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. But do we know that we can't believe because we're dead and trespasses and in sin? Do we realize that our belief is determined by God himself giving us faith to believe. Without faith, it's impossible to please God, meaning, In order for me to believe, I have to have faith, and I can't produce faith. Nowhere in scripture will we find that it says it's your faith in Christ. It's always the faith of Christ, freely bestowed by His grace.

Paul's not saying here, I've counted all things but done, now work to accomplish this instead. I was just working on the wrong thing, now I need to work on this. No, that's not what Paul's saying. He said, I counted all things but done that I may win Christ and be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the law, but by the righteousness, which is through the faith of the Son of God, Lord Jesus Christ. He's declaring the hope of every believer, every elect child of God, the cause and effect of their salvation is entirely based upon God, not based upon self in any way.

That's good news if you and I have ever seen ourselves as sinners. If it's based upon you and I and we are sinners, I'm in trouble. A lot of people believe that sin is what you do, and it is, but sin is what we are by nature. That's what makes us sinners, not just because of what we do. Let's read our text, Philippians 3.

I just wanna read two verses, 10 and 11. that I might know him, not know about him, not know things about him, not know the things that he did, but that I might know him and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings being made conformable unto his death, if by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. Title of this message, Attaining the Resurrection. What does that mean? Attaining the resurrection.

Scripture tells us that it is appointed unto man once to die and after this the judgment. So we know that every man and woman upon the face of the earth is going to face death at some point. Good news for the Lord's people is as we, because of our substitute surety, Christ died the death that we could not in pleasing the Father. Therefore, we don't have to die spiritually speaking forever. We have eternal life.

But what does it mean to attain the resurrection? Well, the word attain is very important. because a lot of times we hear certain words and we think that it may mean this or it may mean that. The definition, well, let me give you man's definition of attaining first. This is the old Merriam-Webster or the Oxford Dictionary's definition, okay? Attaining. To succeed in achieving, accomplishing, or reaching a specific goal, status, or destination, usually as a result of sustained effort, hard work, or perseverance.

Okay, that's not what Paul's talking about here. Just gonna let you know right now. God's definition is totally different. And I love the Lord's definition because it's very simple. All those words I just said, that was a little complicated, wasn't it? I can summarize it by saying man's definition is, is you get because you do. I'm gonna keep going and I'm going to attain the resurrection. That's not what he's talking about. Here's what God's definition is of attaining. Literally the word attaining in this passage. The Greek word means literally to arrive at. Literally to arrive at. That's the definition. Literally to arrive at.

That I might arrive at the resurrection. What a glorious thought that we could live our lives every day just arriving at the resurrection. Meaning we're having a bad day and yet we look back, not just the future resurrection that's going to happen whenever this mortal shall put on immortality and this corruptible shall put on incorruption, but the resurrection of Christ himself. Because that's the significance of being justified. That's the evidence that we were justified by God.

So what a glorious thought to be able to live our life day after day Having that in our sight instead of everything around us that we just arrive at that instead of having everything around us that distracts us, just keep going back to the resurrection.

It is finished. It is finished. What about this that happened and this that happened? Yeah, but Christ was raised from the dead. I have good hope. Yeah, but all this sin and the unbelief that I have that so easily besets me. Yeah, but Christ was raised from the dead. I've been justified freely by his grace. What about the things that I would do that I don't do, but the things I wouldn't do? That's what I find myself doing. What about the sin that I constantly find myself doing? I don't mean to do.

Yeah, but Christ was resurrected. So God's people are justified in his sight. They've been made righteous. Oh, to arrive at that thought every single time that the darts of our adversary would be thrown at us, or every time that we feel depressed and overwhelmed because we see our sin before us. What a glorious thought to arrive at the resurrection.

There's a resting place there, isn't there? There's a resting place there. What would we fear and why would we doubt if we could arrive at the resurrection all the time? Go back to the resurrection. Look forward to the resurrection for the future, whenever the Lord, and we'll get to this in a little bit, but when the Lord will come back for his people, that's the resurrection as well. He's gonna resurrect his people. The dead in Christ shall rise first.

We which alive and remain shall be called up together to meet him in the air, and so shall we ever be with the Lord. So we have this blessed hope of past events of resurrection, signifying we've been justified freely by his grace, and we have the future hope of resurrection in Christ when he returns for us. This body of dust will fall off of us and will be found glorified in Him. Scripture says, when He shall appear, we shall be made like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. I quoted part of this a second ago, but it says, the Lord shall descend with a shout. with the voice of the archangel, and the trump of God shall sound, and the dead in Christ shall rise first.

Then we which are alive and remain shall be called up together to meet him in the air, and so shall we ever be with the Lord. That's the resurrection. You know what he says after that? Wherefore, comfort one another with these words. Why would that be a comfort? Because the Lord said, I'm coming back for you.

I'm never gonna leave you. I'm never gonna forsake you. I'm not gonna leave you to death. I'm gonna come back for you and receive you unto myself that where I am, there you may be also. When the disciples stood upon Mount Olives after the Lord was ascended up into glory and they kept staring up, kept looking, angel of the Lord came and said, you men of Galilee, why stand you here staring into the heavens? This same Jesus that you see going away will come back in like manner and receive you unto himself. He's coming back.

So how do I arrive? How do I arrive at the resurrection? How do I attain the resurrection? How do I know I have part in the resurrection? That's important, because if I don't have part in the resurrection, I have no hope of salvation. How do I attain the Lord's resurrection? Well the question, what does it mean to attain the resurrection?

And the Lord gloriously gives us, aren't you glad scripture defines scripture? Gloriously gives us four things here in our text. We've already read them. Four things that we can look to and hope in as the finished work of our Savior that literally means we have attained, we have arrived at the resurrection and we will arrive at the resurrection.

First, look at verse 10. They're all four right here. That I may know him. That's number one. That I may know him. Go to the grocery store down the street. We have a wise right here. And ask him, but don't do this. But just if you did, I say do it, and then you do it. Then I get in trouble. Don't do that.

But if you were to go to the grocery store down here and you would ask just a random person, you ever heard of Jesus before? How many people do you think's gonna say no? How many people? Any? Our glorious country that the Lord's given us, was founded upon the principles of the Bible. We're very thankful for the liberties that we have, but a lot, I mean, our money even says in God we trust. You ask him, have you ever heard of Jesus? People say, oh yeah, yeah, Christmas, Easter, I know Jesus. Paul didn't say to know about him. Paul didn't say to know events that happened that he did. Paul didn't say to know some ideas surrounding Jesus Christ that I might know him.

Now, it's different when it comes to the Lord and you and I, because he must be the one that introduces himself. In the men's study, we were talking about Zacchaeus a little bit, Macbeth, Zacchaeus, the passage of Zacchaeus, and it says that Zacchaeus climbed a sycamore tree, because he wanted to see the Lord.

But the Lord had to come to where Zacchaeus was. Zacchaeus would have never seen him. Second of all, how did Zacchaeus even know what God looked like? What the Lord Jesus Christ looked like, the Lord gave him sight to see. And the Lord walked right up to him and said, Zacchaeus, come down for the day.

I'm going to dwell in your house. What about all those others that the Lord, the maniac at Gadara, the Lord got on a ship and sailed across the sea all the way down to the bottom of the sea where Gadara was, went right to that maniac and saved him. That maniac had no hope of salvation. That maniac had no hope of those demons leaving him. God came to him to do the work. That's my hope. Lord, introduce yourself to me.

See, salvation is not just an understanding of biblical principles. It's not having a knowledge of theology, and it's not learning the five points of Calvinism. It's not. It's about knowing Christ. as all of your wisdom, all of your righteousness, all of your sanctification and all of your redemption. And the only way I can know that, the only way we can say it with the song that we sung, I know whom I have believed and I'm persuaded that he is able to keep that which I've committed unto him against that day. That's a quote from scripture. The only way I can say, I know whom I believe is being taught of God.

It's not an understanding that I come to based upon what I've studied. It's not an understanding that I come to based upon what you tell me or I tell you. It's an understanding by the divine revelation of God according to His choice. Nicodemus, the wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou canst tell whether it comes or whether it goeth.

So is everyone that is born of the Spirit. And God chooses to send His Spirit and power. He blows upon His people and they become alive. They become alive. Just as Adam was formed out of the dust of the ground, God breathed into his nostrils, man became a living soul. That's how he calls his people out of darkness into his light, all by his gospel.

Paul said, I'm not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth, to the Jew first and also to the Greek, Romans 1 16. God must introduce himself, and he only does it to his elect. He only does it to his people. Somebody said, well, I thought everybody had a choice to be saved. No, salvation's a choice. It's not my choice or yours, it's God's. Before time ever began, God chose to show mercy on whom he would show mercy. God chose to show grace upon whom he would show grace. That offends the flesh, but if you see yourself as a sinner, you rejoice because you know we can't please God.

Lord, you're gonna have to save me. You're gonna have to cause me to know you. And to know, it's intimate. It's not a head knowledge. No, it's a revelation. I love what the book of Revelation even says. Revelation chapter one. I mentioned this Wednesday, I believe, but it says the revelation of Jesus Christ. He told the Pharisees, search the scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life, but they are they which speak of me. This is all about him. This is about knowing him, that I might know him. How am I to attain the resurrection? I've got to know him. I've got to know him. Brethren, if the Lord causes us to know him, this indeed is repentance. God has changed our mind about who he is. The Lord doesn't halfway reveal himself. He reveals himself wholly and completely to us. And we see him as high and lifted up.

You will never find in scripture where the Lord revealed himself as God. And a man was not found saying, behold, I'm vile or salvation is of the Lord or who can stay his hand or saying to him, what doest thou? None can even, uh, All throughout scripture, we see that man's confession, even when Saul was kicked off his high horse, he looked up and he said, Lord, what would you have me do? Anytime the Lord reveals himself, it puts us where we belong, in the dirt.

It shows us that we are but sinners that cannot please God, and he is the only one that can please himself. This repentance causes us to see that Jesus Christ is not just like the Son of God, that he's just the Son of God, he has attributes of God, he has characteristics, he is God.

Jesus Christ is the fullness of the Godhead bodily. He's the fullness of the triune Godhead. Jesus Christ is God. Men believe that he's looking for man to do something to make his work effectual, it's not true. But when he's revealed unto us, whenever we know him, we see ourselves as we are, as sinners needing a savior, and he's the only one. Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal, immutable, sovereign creator of all things.

John chapter one says, in the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him and without him there was not anything made that was made. It goes on to say a few verses later, and the word was made flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld his glory. The glory is of the only begotten of the father, full of grace and full of truth.

Jesus Christ is the word of God. Jesus Christ is the sovereign creator. Jesus Christ, if I ever if we ever get to the point where we start seeing him as less than, such as a baby Jesus in a manger, or we see him as something we can manipulate or control, something that can be constrained or restrained, we have the wrong idea about who God is. He's God. He's God.

Remember when the Pharisees said unto the Lord, they said, Abraham be our father. And he said, well, if Abraham was your father, then you would have rejoiced. Because Abraham rejoiced when he saw my day. He says, Abraham's not your father. You're of your father, the devil. That's what he told the Pharisees. You're of your father, the devil. His lies, what you do, he's a liar from the beginning. And your lies, what you do.

They were talking about the bread that came down. He said, I am that bread. They were, there's a few chapter, a chapter before they were confused. They thought he was talking about cannibalism when he said, you have to eat my body and drink my blood. You have no part with me. Then they go all the way down through that to the manna.

And then Abraham was the issue. And the Lord said before Abraham was, I am. And what did they say? We see now we see the Lord. He's he's, he's God. No, they said, take up stones, kill him. Why? Because he's absolutely sovereign. He is the I am that appeared unto Moses at the burning bush. Oh, that I might know him, the God, the only one. What does the scripture say? Who is a God likened to thee that pardoneth iniquity? He's God and we are not.

That I might know him. Number two, verse 10, and the power of his resurrection. What does he mean by the power of his resurrection? The same power that God used to resurrect Christ, his own power, that he used to resurrect his son is the exact same power he uses to bring forth one of his children out of darkness into light.

He says, live. When the Lord Jesus Christ was upon this earth, he went to the tomb of Lazarus, who had been dead four days, and he comes, and Martha said, if you'd been here, Lord, our brother would not have died. And he said, your brother will live again. And she said, well, I know our brother will live at the resurrection. What did he say to her? I am the resurrection and the life. He that believeth on me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. And he that liveth and believeth in me shall never die, believeth thou this. I love the thought, he says, when he said, Lazarus, come forth.

And Lazarus came forth, bound hand and foot. If he had just said, come forth, the whole graveyard would have bursted open with everybody. But it was an effectual calling, wasn't it? He was there for the purpose of Lazarus and Lazarus only. And Lazarus came forth at the command of his word.

I don't know how to wrap my brain around this exactly, but he came forth bound hand and foot. Now, I don't know if you've ever tried walking with your hand and foot bound, but it's not easy to do. But he did. Why? It was the command of Christ. He didn't have a choice. And so it is when the Lord reveals unto us the power of his resurrection, when he calls us out of darkness into light, it's not our choice.

We come bound hand and foot with all this thoughts of false religion, things hanging on us. They call them grave clothes. We think this and think that, and the Lord says, loose him, let him go. And we see God as high and lifted up. We see Him as sovereign and holy and just and good. We see Him that He is the successful Redeemer of His people. And we rejoice. We say, behold, I'm vile. This is faith that the Lord gives us to see Him and believe on Him. What's the power of his resurrection? Well, it means that if I'm to be made alive, being spiritually born dead, he has to be the doer of it completely from start to finish. He has to be. So I said, well, I don't quite understand what you mean.

Well, in the book of Genesis, and I'm thankful that the scripture repeats itself constantly so that my little brain can comprehend. It says, in the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth, and the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. That's me, and that's you. In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth, and the earth, the flesh, was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep.

And what did the Lord say? Let there be light. God commanded the light to shine out of darkness. Can you command the light to shine out of darkness? No, neither can I. God did and there was light and God saw the light that it was good. That's how he brings his people out of darkness. He commands the light to shine out of darkness. The darkness has to flee. God chooses at his appointed time to send his spirit and say live by his, By the preaching of his gospel, he ordained it that way through his spirit. He resurrects every child of God he died for. Turn over just a page or two to Ephesians chapter two. Ephesians chapter two, verse one. And you hath he quickened. Do we know what the word quickened means? Made alive. And you hath he made alive who were dead in trespasses and in sins.

Wherein in times past you walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience, among whom also we all had our conversation in time past and the lust of our flesh fulfilling the desires of the flesh. and of the mind and were by nature the children of wrath even as others.

And here's the glorious interjection of the gospel. But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love when he loved us, even when we were dead in sin, hath quickened us together with Christ, for by grace are you saved, and hath raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace and his kindness towards us through Christ. For by grace are you saved through faith, and that not of yourself, it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus under good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

He quickened. Remember, first hour we read similarly, and I said, look at all the times it says he hath, he has. It's the same thing here, he hath quickened. He made alive. He raised us up. He made us set together in heavenly places. The first chapter, it says, He made us accepted in the beloved. He did all these things according to His own will and purpose. Therefore, we are His workmanship.

His workmanship. Attaining the resurrection, brethren, is to know Him and the power of His resurrection, whereby He gives us repentance and faith. I go back to Philippians 3. Verse 10 that I might know him. The power of his resurrection. And thirdly, the fellowship of his sufferings. The fellowship of his sufferings.

This is not talking about suffering in the flesh. The Lord told multiple occasions, he said, this, this world, this, my kingdom is not of this world. This isn't talking about, um, suffering according to the flesh through sickness or through pain or through poverty. That's not what the Lord's talking about here. Our confession is substitution, fellowship of his suffering, that we may take part in his suffering, that we had part in his suffering. That's our only hope. That when he died, we died. When he suffered, we suffered.

When he fulfilled the law's demands, when he satisfied justice, when he did everything God required for our salvation, We had fellowship, oneness, and unity with him in that. The word fellowship, and I was getting to that, I was trying to find it. You know what the definition of fellowship here in this passage means? It literally means participation. He made us participants of his suffering. Think about that. God required us to die. God required us to suffer. God required us to, that's what the law demanded. The law demanded all these things. Death, the soul that sinneth shall surely die.

And yet God, who is rich in mercy, as we just read, made us participate in Christ on the cross of Calvary. We are his, we were, we participated, we were in him as he was reconciling us back to God. God saw his people as perfectly righteous because we were in Christ, perfect unity and oneness.

Listen to John 17. And the glory which thou gavest me, this is Christ talking to his father, and the glory which thou gavest me I give to them, his people, his elect, that they may be one even as we are one, I in them and thou in me, that they may be perfect in one, that thou, that the word which, that the world may know that thou hast sent me and hast loved them as thou hast loved me. God's elect have been made perfect in one with Christ. I love how he says that, that they may be one in me, and I in you, and you in me. It's all oneness with the Father and the Son.

Do we see that? We have been made to be partakers, to have fellowship of his suffering. That means everything God required for the salvation of his people. Every single elect child of God fellowshiped in that suffering. They were partakers of that suffering so that we are now justified freely by his grace. We are partakers of his righteousness. We are partakers of his holiness. We have been sanctified by his grace. Attaining the resurrection means that we know him. that we know him, that we know the power of his resurrection, and that we've been made partakers of his suffering.

To be made partakers of his suffering, plainly put, his record became our record. His record became our record. His history became our history. Everything that he did, everything that he said, everything that he worked as part, or as righteousness, as salvation, is our history. It's our record.

He says, blotting out the handwritences of ordinances that were against us, he took them out of the way, nailing them to his cross. That means every single thing, just imagine a long scroll that had all these things against you written. You did this, and you did this, and you did this, guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty. The Lord took them, nailed them to his cross, put them away, and now it says, innocent, innocent, perfect, righteous, holy, good, exact opposite.

That's what it means. That's what it means, brethren, to be partakers of his suffering. And lastly, in verse 10. Last seven words being made conformable unto his death. And I really love this definition to conformable. made completely our own. Made completely our own. That his death was my death. That his death was my death. That's my hope. That when he died, I died in him.

Our hope is that When He died, we died to sin, we died to self, we died to the law, and in Him, we have eternal life because of that. He did it all. He did it so that we may live in newness of life in Him as new creatures of grace, as perfectly righteous, as blameless before Him, blameless before the throne of God.

Can you imagine standing before the sovereign, holy throne of God and being blameless? Well, as soon as we think of that, we start examining ourself and say, how is that possible? What were we looking at the wrong direction? Paul said that I might know him. That's our hope. That's our hope. My blamelessness is because he's blameless. My holiness is because he's holy. My righteousness is because he's my righteousness. It's not about me at all. It's about him and his substitutionary work.

This means that our only hope is in his perfect life, death, burial, and resurrection. As we heard the first hour, it's his service, his selflessness, and his sacrifice that we look to, not our own. For ours would not accomplish anything. When he said, it is finished, we've been redeemed, redeemed by him.

And actually, the glorious news is death has no hold on the child of God. Turn with me to Romans chapter six. Meaning the law can't pop back up and say, okay, now I've got you, or sin can't rear its ugly head again, or death can't say you belong to me because of what Christ did. Look at Romans chapter six, verse one. What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we that are dead to sin live any longer therein?

Know you not that so many of us were baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death, that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection. I would remind us that the title is Attaining the Resurrection, and he just said, If we've been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall also be in the likeness of his resurrection. Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. Look at verse seven carefully. For he that is dead is freed from sin. You know what that word freed means? Justified. Justified. He that is dead is justified from sin.

Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him. Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more, death hath no more dominion over him. For in that he died, he died unto sin once. but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Likewise, reckon also yourself to be dead indeed in a sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. This is why we're baptized in water. to confess that we were baptized in Him on the cross of Calvary.

That's what it all represents, every bit of it. We're confessing that our hope is that we have been conformed unto His death, never to die again, as it says in verse seven. If you look at verse seven, for he that is dead is freed from sin. It's gone. He put it away. Because his elect sin are gone and we have died in him, what does the scripture say? There is now therefore no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus. There is now therefore no condemnation.

Now go back with me to Philippians chapter three. Look at verse 10. that I might know him and the power of his resurrection, the fellowship of his sufferings, and be made conformable, being made conformable unto his death. Notice it says being made conformable. It doesn't say to be made conformable, or it doesn't say that I might be made, it says being made. The Lord's the one that has to do that.

If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. To have the hope to arrive at his resurrection, to have the hope in his resurrection, is to know him. Not to have an understanding of biblical principles, not to know stories about what Christ did, not to memorize all of the miracles that he performed, but to know him, who he is. He's God. He's God. It's to know the power of his resurrection being called out of darkness into his glorious light by his gospel when he sends his spirit and power. It's to know him and see him as high and lifted up, see ourselves as the chief center, see him as the only savior, the only savior, the successful redeemer of his people.

It's to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. So hope to arrive at his resurrection is to have fellowship of his suffering, meaning that his suffering is our suffering. On the cross of Calvary, that's our hope. That when the Lord saw the travail of his soul, he was satisfied. And now he sees his people as perfectly righteous. It means to be conformable unto his death, literally means we died in Christ on the cross, not figuratively. Literally, we died in Christ on the cross of Calvary.

Now I would remind us that that word attain, as we looked before, it means to accomplish a goal based upon the work that you perform and the things that you do in order to get something. But let's look at it again as I read this back to you, the definition, looking through the eyes of Christ. If we want to attain the resurrection, what it means is we're going to arrive at the resurrection. Therefore, we have hope that based on the Lord's successful finished work he achieved, he accomplished, his statutes before God, his status before God, that's our status before God.

That his finished work is our rest before God. That there's no more work to be done. That his righteousness is our righteousness. Our eternal destination is completely predetermined because of what he has accomplished. This is the result of his sustained effort. This is the result of his works that he did before time and in time for the salvation of his people.

Therefore, brethren, we hope to arrive at the resurrection for all time and all eternity. We hope to arrive at the resurrection every day that we live. We hope to go back to remembering the resurrection. And we hope that one day when he shall appear, we shall be like him for we shall see him as he is. This is what it is to attain the resurrection. Let's pray. Heavenly father, we ask that you would take these words and bless it to our understanding for your glory in Christ's name. Amen.
