In 1 Corinthians chapter 1, our text will be verse 30. Paul, of course, is writing to
believers. That's evident from how he addresses
them in chapter 1. Look again in chapter 1 verse
2. Now bear in mind, the church
at this time was in a pretty sorry state. Paul has to deal
with some very serious things going on in the church at Corinth.
But notice how he addresses them. Verse 2, unto the church of God
which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ
Jesus. That's not changed. That's not changed. Paul has
to deal, as we said, with some serious issues. but he addresses
them as God's saints, sanctified in Christ Jesus. Does that not
teach us that our sanctification, our acceptance, is not in what
we do? A lot of people think sanctification
is, that they're progressively, I think is the word they use,
sanctified by their doings. Well, if that were true, Paul
couldn't use this word to describe the believers at Corinth, but
he does, because our sanctification, just like our justification,
is in Christ. To them that are sanctified in
Christ Jesus and called to be saints, you're not disowned. You're still God's saints. With
all that in every place, call upon the name of the Lord Jesus
Christ, our Lord, both theirs and ours. Grace be unto you. and peace from God our Father
and from our Lord Jesus Christ. Yes, Paul writes to believers,
but believers who had gotten their eyes off of Christ. Paul writes to Christians who
had gotten swelled heads, people who had become proud over their
gifts, over what they thought they knew. Paul addresses them
over and over again by the words, puffed up. You're puffed up. Your heads are swollen. And he
reminds them, there's no reason for that. Look what he says in
verse 11 of chapter 1. This was one of their problems.
But I think the source, the root of all the various problems was
pride. Pride. A wicked weed, Mr. Spurgeon said, that will grow
anywhere. Verse 11, for it hath been declared
unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house
of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. Now this I say, that
every one you that saith, I am of Paul. If Paul's preaching,
I'll come. But if Paul is to Peter's preaching,
I'm not going to come listen to them. and I of Apollos and
I of Cephas and I of Christ." And look what Paul says. Immediately,
he recognizes the problem and he knows what the solution is.
He says, get your mind off men and focus back on Christ. Look
what he says in verse 13. Is Christ divided? Of course not. Was Paul crucified
for you? Of course not. Or were ye baptized
in the name of Paul? Of course not. Christ is all
and in all, and Paul directs their attention back to him. He must increase, Paul says,
and I must decrease. Paul tells them this childish
behavior has got to stop. Look what he says in verse 1.
He speaks, verse 1, rather, of chapter 3. He speaks to them
as babes because they were acting childish, and he says in verse
1 of chapter 3, and our brethren could not speak unto you as unto
spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. And he says, you've got to quit
acting this way. You've got to stop this. Look
what he says in verse 29 of chapter 1. He says, this has got to stop,
that no flesh should glory in his presence. In the previous
verses that we read earlier, Paul says, this is why God acts
as he does. This is why God chooses foolish
things, things that are not, things that are weak. God deliberately
acts in the way he does so that no flesh will have any reason
to do what you're doing. You've got no reason to glory
in the flesh. And then he says, stop doing
that, and then in verse 31, he says, rather do this, do this
rather, that according as it is written, he that glorieth,
let him glory in the Lord. Now, Paul refers to the book
of Jeremiah. That's what he's quoting from.
And I want to read you the entire verse from Jeremiah chapter 9.
It's where Paul takes that from. Him that glorieth, let him glory
in the Lord. In verse 23 of Jeremiah 9, God
says this, Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in
his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might. Let not
the rich man glory in his riches, but let him that glorieth glory
in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me. That's enough
to glory in. If we glory in that, we won't
have time to glory in anything else. He that glorieth, let him
glory in me, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the
Lord which exerciseth lovingkindness and judgment and righteousness
in the earth, for in these things I delight, saith the Lord. And Paul, verse 30, uses that
as the answer to what he says in verse 29, to stop doing, and
in verse 31, what to do. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus. No reason to glory in the flesh.
God's done this for you. Of him are ye in Christ Jesus,
who of God is made unto us wisdom and righteousness and sanctification
and redemption. That's our text. Verse 30. I read just the other evening
the story of a martyr, a man who preached the gospel of God's
grace. And, of course, that message
concerns God's son, period, just like Paul tells us here in our
text. But he was called before the
Church of Rome to give an account, threatened with death, If he
didn't comply, if they didn't hear from him the answers they
wanted to hear. So they thought, we're going
to ask him three questions. The same question. What's the
first cause of salvation? What's the second cause of salvation?
What's the third cause of salvation? And they thought. putting those
questions before him in that fashion, that he would answer
the first one, Christ, but the second one, he would say the
word as interpreted by the church, and the third one, he would have
to answer the church. The Church of Rome is a cause
of salvation. So when they asked him, what
is the first cause of salvation? He said, Christ. What's the second
cause of salvation? He said, Jesus Christ. They asked
him, what's the third cause of salvation? And he said again,
Jesus Christ. And for that answer, for that
answer, he was put to death in Rome. But his answer is Paul's
answer, is it not? Verse 30, it's all about Christ. It's all about him. The title
of my message is God's Banquet House of Grace. God's Banquet
House of Grace. Not too long ago, a few weeks
ago, when I was in Danville, Kentucky, I took some of my grandchildren
out to eat and I asked them before we left the house, where do you
want to go? Where do you want to eat? And they all said, it
doesn't matter, Pawpaw, just as long as it's a buffet. We
don't care where you go, just as long as it's all you want
to eat, all you're able to eat. What Paul says before us here
in verse 30 is a buffet, a banquet house of God's sovereign grace
in Christ. And old Puritan made this statement.
He said, when I find myself in the cellar of affliction, He
said, I remember. Ah, this is where God keeps his
very best wine. And he begins to look. And he
says, there I drink wine on the lees, well refined. Again, you have an example of
that in our text. Look at it with me if you will.
As we enter God's banquet house of grace, the first thing we
see are these words, but of him are ye in Christ Jesus. That is of God. This is God's
work, that you are in Christ Jesus. We would not be otherwise. We would not be any other way
or by any other means. We're in Christ Jesus, and God
put us there. That's what the text says. Of
Him, that is God. This is not man's doing. This
is God's doing. God put us in Christ. God chose
us in Christ. God calls us by His Spirit in
time to experience that choice in our hearts that we're His
forever. It's not man's doing. What part
of it, Larry? Any part. No part is man's doing. Some years ago I preached at
a church and afterwards I had the unpleasant experience of
getting buttonholed. Ever had that happen? By a fella
in the church who wanted to enlighten me. I was trying to get to my
car and he wouldn't let me. But he kept telling me about
this Baptist bride. The Baptist Bride. He wanted
to enlighten me about the Baptist Bride. That is the elect of the
elect. The Baptist Bride are a special
people. Only Baptists. They trace their
roots all the way back to John the Baptist. All other believers
that are not in that group, they're just guests at the feast. But
the Baptist Bride, they're going to have a special place in glory.
And I listen. grew a little bit impatient and
finally I stopped him and I said, brother, I keep hearing you say
bride, but I keep hearing pride. It's not Baptist bride, it's
Baptist pride you're talking about. Paul says you have no
room, the glory in the flesh because God's put you in Christ. Now we can enter this building.
We can enter any church building, but that doesn't put us in Christ. Only God does that. Paul couldn't
do it. Apollos couldn't do it. Peter
couldn't do it. Oh, but God can. God can and
did. In eternal election, oh my soul,
in eternal election, before the world was, Joe, before God created
the heavens and the earth, before He did any of that, because He
loved us with an everlasting love, Paul says He chose us in
Christ before the foundation of the world. Let that grip a
man's heart. Let that be applied to a believer's
heart by God's Holy Spirit and it will have the very opposite
effect. of causing us to pop our suspenders,
or causing us to be puffed up, or He'll bring us down to the
footstool of sovereign grace and make us to exclaim, oh, and
adore and wonder and ask, God, why? Why such love for me? He chose us in Christ. This is God's doing. And then
in time, turn with me to John chapter 6, in time, All those
that God chose unto salvation experienced that salvation by
the experience of God's grace. He chose us and that's entirely
a matter of grace. He didn't see anything in us.
He didn't see foreseen faith. How could he see something that
didn't exist? Oh, no, but purely as a matter
of grace. And then in time, in time, all
those that he chose in Christ, he calls to Christ. He chose us in Christ, and then
it's Christ in us by the call of his grace. In verse 37 of
John 6, our Lord spoke these words. He spoke these words to
people who had followed him because they'd gotten their bellies full
when he performed the miracle of feeding the multitude. They got hungry again, so they
followed him. And he said, you've not really come to me. Not really. Verse 37, all that the Father
giveth me, shall come to me. She'll come to me. And him that
cometh unto me I will in no wise cast out. Look down at verse
44. No man can come to me. They had
come. If coming to Christ is physical,
then they came to Christ. If that's how a man comes to
Christ for salvation by moving his feet, then they were saved.
Christ says, no, you're not. No, you're not. You're not saved. You don't come to Christ by moving
from the back of the church to the front of the church. That's
not how you come to Christ. It's spiritual. And this is what
our Lord says. No man can come unto me except
the Father which hath sent me draw him, and I will raise him
up at the last day. is written in the prophets, and
they shall all be taught of God. Every man, therefore, that hath
heard, hath heard, not just with the outward ear, all but with
that inward, inward ear that God gives. They hear the voice
of the great shepherd. They hear him say, come unto
me, come unto me, and they come. willingly come to Christ. Every man therefore that hath
heard and have learned of the Father cometh unto me." Or we
must be brought to Christ. And it's not enough. It's not
enough to have correct views of how God saves sinners. By
all means, we want that. We can have correct views of
how God saves sinners and still not know the Savior. It's not
enough to know that Jesus saves. I want to know that He has saved
me, that I've come unto Him for salvation. It's one thing to
know or rather have a scriptural knowledge of redemption. That
is that he died for his elect. That he shed his blood for his
people. That's what the Scriptures teach.
It wasn't shed in vain. It wasn't shed for people who
go to hell. Now a man can know that. He can
have scriptural correct views of redemption and still not know
the Redeemer. You remember when Simeon was
directed by God's Spirit to the temple that day? At the very
moment that Joseph and Mary brought the young child in, God in flesh,
God Almighty, the eternal Word made flesh, tabernacling among
us, and Simeon sees the babe. And God says, Simeon, that's
Him. That's Him. That's the one I've
promised you before you die, you'd see. That's the one that
all the Old Testament prophets have written about. All the scrolls
that you've studied, all those that talked about the coming
of the Messiah, Simeon, that's him. But you remember what happened. Simeon took him in his arms. He reached out and took the babe
for Mary in his arms. That's faith, brother Loyal.
It's not enough to stand and say, well, I see something about
Christ. I understand some things about
Christ. Oh, I must embrace Him by the arms of faith and say,
now I'm His and He is mine forever. I'm ready to die. That's what
Simeon said. I've got nothing else to live
for. I've seen thy salvation. Now, let me depart in peace. Again, our text, but of him are
ye in Christ Jesus. Don't you love that expression,
brothers and sisters in Christ? in Christ Jesus. Oh, there's only one city of
refuge in Christ Jesus. Look what Paul says in verse
9 of chapter 3 in 1 Corinthians. In verse 9 he says, we are laborers
together with God. But he says, ye are God's husbandry,
ye are God's building, You're God's building. Not a preacher's,
not an apostle's. You're God's building. And this
building, this house of grace, has only one foundation. Only one foundation. Paul says
that foundation is the Lord Jesus Christ. We run across that over
and over again in the epistles. Peter said you're built upon
one foundation. Jesus Christ. He alone is that
elect stone. ordained by God, chosen by God,
and precious. And Peter said, he that falls
on him shall never be confounded, shall never be put to shame.
One foundation in the building of grace. That's why it can never
be destroyed. That's why though the storms
come and beat upon the house of God, the church of God's elect,
and the winds blow, They're not exempt from those things. Although,
they experience those things and they experience more than
that. The inward storms, the battle within, the greatest fight
in all the world is that which takes place in the heart of the
believer. Paul says the spirit lusteth
against the flesh, the old nature. The old nature is no better.
The old nature's no different than it ever was. But it lusteth
again the new nature, the Spirit. And Paul says, you can't do the
things that ye would. But there's that tendency in
there. Why does temptation find a sounding board in us? Why is
there something in temptation that wants to draw us toward
it because of that fallen nature? And that's why Paul cried out
in Romans 11. like a warrior doing battle,
but the battle's with himself within, and he cries out, who's
going to deliver me from this? That's vastly different from
the carefree, walk-along-with-the-world, no conflict whatsoever in professing
Christians today, isn't it? They know nothing about that.
There's nothing to do battle with. Oh, but for the child of
God that's been born again by God's Holy Spirit, There's that
battle. But even so, even so, being built
upon this one foundation, Christ being the chief cornerstone,
our Lord said in Matthew 7, that house will not fall. That house
will not fall for one reason, the foundation on which it's
built. on Christ the solid rock. Remember
what he said to Peter. When he said to the apostles,
whom do men say that I, the son of man, am? Some say you're Elijah. There's a rumor that you're John
the Baptist risen from the dead. And he said, he just kind of
waves that aside, who do you say that I am? Who am I to you? That's the question, John. That's
the question. There'll always be rumors. There'll
always be nonsense flying around about people's opinions of Christ. He was a good man, he was a moral
leader, but he wasn't God. Brush it aside. Who am I to you? And Peter said, you're the Christ. There's no question about that.
You're the Christ. You're the Messiah. You're my
hope. You're the solid rock. You're
the Christ, the Son of God. What enabled Peter to say that?
How did Peter know that? He spoke from his heart. He had
experienced God's grace. And our Lord said that to him.
He said, Peter, flesh and blood didn't teach you that. No, no,
no. My Father which is in heaven
and Peter upon this rock. Upon this rock, the truth of
who I am, my person, I'll build my church. And upon that foundation,
upon that solid rock, the gates of hell shall not prevail against
my church. Not one member of my body shall
ever be torn away because of that one foundation. Oh, what
a sweet old hymn that is. Upon Christ, the solid rock I
stand. Does that mean the winds don't
blow? Oh, yes they blow. They blow heartache after heartache.
They bring in trial after trial. It seems like they're just one
wave of anguish and trouble going over your head after another.
One no sooner dies down than here comes another. But the child
of God on the foundation of Jesus Christ shall never be swept away. Oh, no, no. On the contrary,
Paul says our light affliction doesn't work against us, it works
for us. Those trials, those storms, those
waves are the very thing God will use to bring us into the
harbor of eternal glory forever. One foundation in this house
of God's grace and also just one entrance, is there not? One
entrance. And it's the same as the foundation.
Jesus Christ. He's the door. He's the door.
You can't enter into it except by him, through him. In John
chapter 4, We read in Revelation chapter 4, John said, Behold,
a door was opened in heaven. A door was opened in heaven. You mean where God is? Where
the holy Lord God is? There's an entrance there? We
could understand if we saw no door, a barrier, a wall too high
to climb. But John says, behold, a door
was opened in heaven. There's an entrance into the
presence of God. There's a way by which a man
can approach the Holy God, my soul. There's a way in which
a man can go to God and be justified. What is it? How can it be? Modern day religion says, oh,
it's easy. It's not a big deal. You know
why they say that? Because they don't know who God
is. That's why it's not a big deal. They worship a pygmy God. They've made God less than He
is and man more than He is. They go by the wrong standard.
But if they ever have an idea who God is, it'll be their greatest
wonder in their life if they see a door open in heaven. How can it be? How can it be? Oh yeah, judging by man's standards,
not a big deal. But God's standards? God? He that sets upon the throne?
What does a man have to have to approach me? Absolute perfection. Absolute perfect holiness. A
door opened in heaven. You know, according to man's
standard, It doesn't seem to require much to approach the
Holy God, all but not according to God's standard. Last Sunday
morning, got up as I usually do, got ready, left the house,
was sitting here, and noticed I put on the wrong pants to go
with my suit. Had on a black jacket and blue
pants, didn't know it until I got out into the light. In the house,
I would have swore those are black pants. Sitting here under
the light, better light, I saw they were blood. Oh yeah, under
the light comparison of one worm bragging on another worm, how
can a man be just with God? It's not a big deal. Oh, but
in the light, in the light of God's law, in the light of perfect
holiness, no wonder Job cried out. When he stood in the light
of God Almighty, he said, how can a man be just with God? I've heard of you with the hearing
of the ear, but now my eye sees you. I'm made aware a little
bit of who you are and who I am. How in the world can I be brought
into an acceptable place with that God? Remember that. Remember that. And then a door
in wonder. Behold, a door is opened in heaven
and it's the same one. on which the church is built,
the foundation. Are you thinking of that verse
in John 10? Christ said, I am the door. I am the door, Louis. Christ
said, I am the door. By me, if any man shall enter
in, he shall be saved. A certain door, a certain outcome. Any man that enters in shall
be saved. And John said, I saw that door
in glory. And what happened, John? What
happened? Was that the door by which men
approached God? Is that the door by which men
can come to God? And John said, it sure is. Because
in chapter 7 of Revelation, he said, I saw a multitude that
had gone through that door. And they were all standing right
before the throne of God Almighty. And you know what God was doing?
Smiling on them. They stood there with a robe
dressed in pure white, the righteousness of Jesus Christ. If any man enters
in, our Lord said, he shall be saved. Oh, when you are brought
into the banqueting house of God's grace, You possess every
room in it. It's all yours. Look what our
text says again. But of Him are ye in Christ Jesus,
who of God is made unto us these four things, wisdom and righteousness
and sanctification and redemption, joint heirs with the Lord Jesus
Christ. All He has, He bequeaths to His
people. All He is, all He's done, he
did as a substitute for his people. Entering in through this door,
Christ. And standing there on this shore
foundation, Jesus Christ, in this first room, I see wisdom. Wisdom. Not the world's wisdom. No, that blinds a man, as Paul
tells us in the previous verses. Oh, but the very wisdom of God. Philosophy can't teach a man
that. Can philosophy, worldly wisdom,
teach a man how to approach God? Bring him to God? No, no. You know what it ended up doing? It brings men to further darkness
and they'll just erect an altar to the unknown God. But it won't
reveal the true God to them. Can science? Can science? No. No. Paul in Romans 1 said,
people look at the creation and what happens? They worship the
creation and never acknowledge the Creator. No, science can't
do that. The wisdom that brings a man
to God is not that. It's Christ Jesus. He said God
has made Him to be unto us wisdom. Wisdom. Justice asked the question,
how can God justify a guilty sinner without violating his
own law? How can God acquit a guilty sinner
and not violate his own holy character? Justify the sinner
and at the same time remain just himself. How can it be? How can
it be? Search for an answer anywhere
else, and you'll never find it. You'll never find it. Man attempts
to do so, but yet God's law says regarding man's works, man's
self-righteous attempts, it's never enough. The law says it's
not enough. I'm not satisfied. You're guilty. You're guilty. Who can satisfy
God's law? It's precept. It's penalty. Jesus Christ, He's that answer. He's the wisdom of God. Only
He can satisfy God's law. He says, I come to do thy will,
O God. When the fullness of the time
was come, God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under
the law, to do what? to redeem them, they were under
the law. Look again at the text. Righteousness. Oh, in this banquet house of
grace, there's another room, and over it's marked righteousness. God's own righteousness. Oh, the righteous holy God. can accept nothing less than
himself. Paul said of his brethren, they
go about to establish their own righteousness. by their own works. Paul says, I know what that's
like. I can identify with that. I did it myself until God Almighty
came to me. And He turned the light on. And
what did you see, Paul? Paul said, I saw all those things
that I once trusted in as being what they really are. Filthy
rags. Filthy rags. What did you do,
Paul? I cast them aside. What do you
have now, Paul? The robe of Jesus Christ. I'm robed in Him. And I'm found
in Him. And I'm accepted in Him. And
I'm sanctified in Him. And I'm justified in Him. In
Jesus Christ, I have all that a holy God can require. And you know what the law says
now to those who are in Christ Jesus? It looks down and says,
satisfied. It's enough. Not guilty. Enter in to the joy prepared
for you. Oh, yes. Christ has made unto
us righteousness. God has made him, that is, Christ,
to be sin for us, that we might be made the very righteousness
of God in him. Isn't that glorious? A third
room. Sanctification. Sanctification. imparted righteousness. Imparted. Justification, the imputed righteousness
of Christ. But in sanctification, the imparted
righteousness of Christ. Being born again, not of corruptible
seed, Peter wrote, but incorruptible. The very nature of God. When
the Holy Spirit enters the heart of one of Christ's sheep, He
stamps upon him the very image of God's own Son, created in
righteousness after the image of Him that called him out of
darkness into His marvelous light. In Christ Jesus, a new created
race. No wonder John said, As a matter
of love, the Father had bestowed upon us that we should be called
the sons of God. Then last of all, look at the
last word in the text, verse 30, and redemption. Redemption. That's mine, too. That's a believer's
possession, too. That belongs to him, too. Well,
Paul says, of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto
us, and that includes redemption. Oh, I love that verse of Scripture.
In Hebrews 9, where Paul is comparing the earthly sacrifices in the
temple to the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. And Paul says the high
priest had to go in year after year after year. One day, on
the Day of Atonement, he'd enter in. And what was the outcome,
Paul? Those sacrifices never did take
away sin. They weren't intended to. They
pictured Christ. What happened when Christ entered
the holy place? What happened when He, my Redeemer,
went to Calvary? What happened? when he offered
himself without spot to God. What did that accomplish, Paul?
What was the outcome of all that? Paul said, here it is. He entered in one time into the
holy place and he obtained eternal redemption for us. What a Savior. What a Savior. Eternal redemption. And God says, deliver his soul
from going down to the pit. I've found a ransom. And he's our ransom. Paul said,
he loved me. Imagine that. Paul said, he loved
me and gave himself for me. Oh, that's our righteousness,
Jesus Christ Himself. By that one sacrifice of Himself,
He put away all the sins of all His people forever. He didn't
make a stab at it. He didn't have to do it. He did
it. That's why He cried, It is finished. That's what we celebrate
here. An accomplished redemption. finished
redemption. Scenes that were really not in
pretense. No, no. Scenes that were really
put away. When we eat the bread and drink
the wine, that's what we're celebrating and it's worth celebrating. In
first Peter chapter 2, he asked, if so be ye have tasted that
the Lord is gracious. Let me ask you in closing, have
you tasted? Have you been brought into this
banquet house of God's grace and made the taste that the Lord
is gracious? In John 6, he told that multitude
that had followed him with their feet, you're laboring for the
bread that'll perish. I'm the bread of life that came
down from heaven. If you eat of this bread, you'll never die. He said, he that eateth my flesh
and drinketh my blood have everlasting life. And they said, well, how
can this be? How can he give us his body to
eat and his blood to drink? And you know what? The Catholic
Church still teaches that stuff. Just like those idiots did, they
do the same thing in transubstantiation. in their sacrament, as they call
it. The bread from the hand of the
priest, is this right, Joe? To the mouth of the recipient
becomes the actual body of... Foolish! Foolish! Ignorant! Superstitious
nonsense! Oh, no! What Christ meant? Spiritually. Spiritually. You become mine
and I'm yours. When you come to Christ and you
spiritually partake of Him, You're made one with Him. His very life
becomes my life. The same life, everlasting life
that flows in Him flows in me. Now you have eternal life. And we'll realize how great that
is. when this robe of flesh is laid aside and we're caught up
to be with him in glory. If so be have you tasted. Have
you tasted? Have you tasted? The ladies have
prepared lunch for us after the service this morning. And I look
forward to that time. I look forward to observing the
Lord's table. Pray that God will allow us to truly do it. And
I thank the ladies. They work hard. And we just go
back there and it's prepared. But I could walk back and stand
in the door there at the dining area and just look at it. That
won't fill me, will it? Just stand and look. And I could
ask some of the ladies, Debbie and Patton, Delilah and Robin,
how did you fix this? How did you prepare this? Give
me the recipe. But if I don't eat it, If I don't
sit down and partake of it, it does me no good. So it is with
Christ. Before I'm a partaker of Him,
I must come to Him. I must bow before Him. I must
feast on Him. Jesus Christ, our Passover, Paul
said, is sacrificed for us. Have you tasted of Him? Have
you come to Christ the bread of life and eaten of Him? If
not, it doesn't make any difference if you sit and say, yes, I agree
with the message. I agree with everything He said.
It's like standing looking at lunch but never sitting down
and eating it. Have you ate the bread of life? Christ said, if you haven't,
you have no life in you. But if you have, you have a life. that will never die. Never die. God bless you. Thank you for
your attention.
