While you're turning to Genesis
chapter 33, let me give you a little bit of background to our text. Genesis chapter 33. When Abraham's son Isaac was an old
man and about to die, knowing that death was near, he called
his favorite son Esau and told him to go out and kill a deer
and make him a pot of stew that he loved to eat and bring it
in and he would eat with his son Esau and then would give
him the blessing, God's covenant blessing, the patriarchal blessing
that God had given to Abraham and was given to him and now
he would give it to Esau. But Esau had already sold that
birthright. He despised it and sold it to
his brother Jacob. earlier in his life. Well, Rebecca
overheard the conversation. Rebecca, you recall, the Lord
had told her when Jacob and Esau were born, Jacob have I loved,
but Esau have I hated. The elder shall serve the younger. Rebecca understood what Jacob
didn't seem to understand, that it was God's purpose that the
birthright pass from one generation to the other through Jacob and
not through Esau. And so she called Jacob in and
she said, now you hurry. Go get one of the kids of the
flock and you kill it and dress it and I'll make the kind of
stew your daddy likes and you put the skins on your hands and
go in and pretend to be your brother Esau and your father
Isaac being an old man and blind. We might just get by with this
and you'll be blessed instead." And he did. And Isaac being blind,
being an old man, Felt of Jacob and he thought well this is Esau
and he got the stew and he ate it and he gave him the blessing
and then Jacob left and Esau came in and Isaac trembled and
Esau Cried like a baby and he said don't you have something
you can give me and he said Jacob's got the blessing It's gone. You can never have it and Esau
was fit to be tied He was angry He had sold the birthright to
Jacob, and now Jacob had come and taken the blessing, and he
swore, as soon as daddy dies, I'll kill him. And so Rebecca
urged Jacob to flee to her brother Laban and go down there and take
refuge with Laban, and Jacob did. While he was there, he married
Laban's two daughters, Leah and Rachel, and served Rachel for
14 years. Fourteen years. If there was
anybody on earth more deceitful, more cunning, more tricky than
Jacob, it was his Uncle Laban. He changed his wages every time
he did it make an agreement and seemed like that bless Jacob's
labor changes wages and God bless it again and labor changes wages
God bless it again tricked him into marrying Leah and then he
had to work seven more years and married Rachel and finally
Jacob said I've had enough of this and God told Jacob to get
up and go home and promised that he would deal well with him so
Jacob began to make his journey home and But as he did, he remembered
that Esau had sworn to kill him, and he knew his brother Esau.
He wasn't likely to give up. And so he started toward home,
and he prayed, and he called on God to have mercy on him.
And then he acted kind of like I do, you know, just in case,
God, you didn't hear me, let me make some plans. And he sent
drove after drove, gifts, gifts, gifts, great gifts to Esau, hoping
to appease Esau. And when they came together,
Esau saw all these great things, and he said, Jacob, I don't want
that. He was delighted to see his brother
Jacob. All right, and look in chapter
33, verse 9. Chapter 33, verse 9. Esau said,
I have enough, my brother. Keep that thou hast unto thyself. I have enough. That word, enough,
means I have plenty. I'm a rich man. I've got lots
of cattle. I've got a large family. I've
got plenty of money. I've got plenty of food. I've
got plenty. I've got everything a man could
want. I've just got everything a man
could want. I've got plenty. Look at verse 11. Jacob says,
take, I pray thee, my blessing. that is brought to thee, because
God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. But that's a completely different
word. They're not even similar to each
other. Not in the original text, they're not even similar to each
other. This word, if you have a marginal translation, means
I have all things. But it's never used in the plural. It's only used in the singular.
Jacob is saying, I have all. Or I have the whole. All things
are mine. Esau said, I've got everything
a man could want. Jacob said, I've got everything.
Esau said, I'm filthy rich. Jacob said, I have the whole.
Esau said, there's nothing any man has that I want. Jacob said,
I have all, all. I want to show you that there
is a contentment to be dreaded and a contentment to be desired.
The contentment of one who is damned and the contentment of
one who believes God. The contentment of a reprobate
man. and the contentment of a child
of God. I take these three words from
my subject this morning. I have enough. I have enough. We'll look for
just a little bit at Esau and his contentment. And then at
Jacob and his contentment. And then I want to answer a question.
First, let's look at Esau and his contentment. Remember Esau
was a lost man. He didn't know God, had no regard
for God, no fear of God. He was reprobate. He was one
of whom God said before he had done anything good or evil, Jacob
have I loved, but Esau have I hated. He was not an object of God's
care. He was not an object of God's
love. He was a reprobate man. Esau had lots of faults, many
faults. But greed wasn't one of them.
He was content. He was content. You say, well,
it's easy to be content when you're rich. Not many rich men
are. Not many are. Esau was content. He was a rich
man, but he wasn't a greedy man. When Jacob brought all the droves
of gifts to him to appease his anger and his wrath, Esau said,
keep all those things. Keep those things. I have enough. I have enough. Now there's some
important lessons for us here. Learn this. Moral excellence
and spiritual grace are not the same thing. Moral excellence and spiritual
grace are not the same thing. Some of us were talking back
in the office a week or two ago about various founding fathers,
and those men who were deists, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson,
and others, they were men who thought themselves moral, and
many considered them moral. womanizers and such as that,
but they thought they were pretty good fellows, and they wrote
codes of moral ethics, and people looked at them as being very
moral. I recall many years ago a friend of mine who was very,
went to school with him, a very strong legalistic fellow, he
said, a fellow just lived by Benjamin Franklin's code of moral
ethics, he'd do all right. And I thought, I didn't say Franklin,
I know, but folks thought they were very moral. Well, Esau really
was a very moral man, very moral man. He behaved in a remarkable
way, in many ways, far better than Jacob. That's often the
case. Men and women who don't know
God are sometimes very moral, very respectable, very impressive. That's not usually the case,
but it often is. We live in this age in which
morality is being constantly redefined, being defined, I fear,
in terms of men like Benjamin Franklin or Thomas Jefferson.
These days, fornication, adultery, homosexuality, even bestiality
are considered matters of individual preference, individual preference. Whoever heard the tale of folks
having sexual preference until recent society. We live in a
corrupt, vile society which considers that which is flagrantly anti-God. It's not a matter just of morality,
it's flagrantly rebellion to God. Just, God, get out of my
way! I'll live like I want to. And
folks say, well, that's all right. It's just two consenting adults. They're not hurting anything.
Destroying society. Destroying society. Destroying
society. Now, I've said this to you young
folks, and I'll say it again. If you choose to go out and shack
up like wild beasts with no responsibility and no care and disregard to
God, don't come to me and expect me to marry you and put my stamp
on it. It's not going to happen. It's
not going to happen. You know, you just you ought
not say things like that. It's time somebody stood up and
spoke plainly. Fornication and homosexuality
are not to be distinguished from one another. Both are flagrant
rebellion against God. Flagrant rebellion against God.
Adultery is not to be looked at and winked at. It's flagrant
rebellion to God. And yet, it does sometimes happen
that lost unregenerate men and women are very moral in their
behavior. When that's the case, morality
can be a very commendable thing. The moral scruples. promote charity and philanthropy
and works of compassion for the sick, the needy, and the impoverished. I'm thankful there's folks who
take care of folks who are in need, folks who are sick. Let's
do our part, do what we can, it's right that we do so. But
moral folks do that. There are lots of folks who build
hospitals and have charitable institutions just because they're
moral. Morality helps to preserve society. A sense of moral responsibility
keeps people from abusing and misusing one another. And yet
morality has an evil side, very evil side. I've known some very
moral men and women whose morality was so positively abominable
that they presumed their morality was righteousness. Most do. Most do. They presume morality is righteousness. Well, I don't cheat on my taxes.
I don't steal. I don't commit adultery. I don't
commit fornication. I'm not a homosexual. I don't
abuse people. I give and I'm generous. And
whenever they come around cancer society, I always do my part.
When they come around with a heart society, I always do my part.
If somebody has a need in the neighborhood, I'm the first one
there to help them out. I'm a good fellow. I'm a good
fellow. That's what the rich young ruler presumes. He looked
at the law of God and said, I've kept these things from my youth
up. I've always been good. Always been good. I have an older
sister. You wouldn't know we were kin
to each other. She's like my wife. She never did anything
wrong in her life. She's just as nice as she could be. And
her nephew, her son, my nephew, said to me once years ago, if
anybody gets to heaven, I'm sure my mom will, I don't know a better
woman. And I said, Michael, that's got nothing to do with getting
to heaven. That's got nothing to do with getting to heaven.
Moral uprightness is not righteousness. Don't be so foolish. The Lord
looks on the heart. The Lord looks on the heart. Now, I'm talking to a congregation
of respectable, upright men and women. I don't know a person
sitting here that doesn't have the respect of their neighbors
and their friends and family. Don't know one sitting here.
Turn to Mark chapter 7. Mark chapter 7. I want to remind you
that your morality is but the whitewashing of a sepulcher full
of dead men's bones. I want to remind you that your
heart, your heart, like mine, is a cesspool. Your heart, what you are at the
very core of your being, what you are in your inmost being,
no exceptions, you and me, you and me, you and me, your heart,
a cesspool of corruption. Mark chapter 7 verse 20, the
Lord Jesus said, that which cometh out of the man, that defileth
him. For from within, out of the heart
proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts,
covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye,
blasphemy, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from
within and defile the man. I recall, oh, it's been 35 years
ago. They had a series of advertisements
on television. The government, you know, gets
a notion to make some advertisements about things, keep you from doing
bad stuff. You remember they had the thing
trying to get everybody to quit leaving their keys in their cars?
Y'all remember that? Don't make a good boy go bad.
Take your keys out of your car. Don't make a good boy go bad.
If things are good, what you doing peeking in your car window? Don't make a good boy go bad.
You won't. And I won't. Because no such
thing as a good boy. No such thing as a good girl.
The heart's evil. Will we ever learn this? The
heart's evil. The heart. We cover up what's
in us with outward acts, and we put on a facade, and we put
on a front to cover up what we really are. And in us is nothing
but hypocrisy and filth and corruption. There is no abomination known
to man that's not in here and in there. No, no. That's the heart of man. I've
said all that to say this. It's absolutely impossible for
any man to know the heart and spiritual condition of another
man. You can't do it. You can't do
it. We all presume that we can know
believers from unbelievers. I'll tell you what, I've known
Brother Larry Brown for a long time. Man, he's something else. He's a real believer. Brother
Lindsey, whoever knew such a loyal man. He's been faithful ever
since I've known him. That's a believer. Old Brother
Ranieri, now he's kindly up and down. I ain't so sure about him. What stupidity. What arrogance. What self-righteousness. What
pride. makes you think such. We don't know sheep from goats,
wheat from tares. We don't know who believes and
who doesn't believe, and it's high time we quit trying to act
like we do, to quit making that decision, because when you do,
If I decide, Bill, that there's something about you just ain't
right, if I decide he just can't, he just, nah, not a believer. He wouldn't be like that if he
was a believer. He wouldn't act like that. He wouldn't do that. I'll guarantee
I'll start treating you different. Guarantee I'll start treating
you different. Don't do that. Receive your brethren. Receive
your sisters, professing faith in Jesus Christ without doubtful
disputation. Embrace them as men and women
saved by God's grace, redeemed by the precious blood of Jesus
Christ. Treat them as those who are precious to God. Think of
them as those who are precious to God. Esau was a magnanimous man in
many ways. but he didn't know God. He was
raised in a godly household, but he didn't know God. He was
a son of Abraham physically, but he didn't know God. He was
taught the same worship as Jacob, but he didn't know God. He made
the same pretenses of knowing God, but he didn't know God.
And I've said all that to say this as well. You'll have to
have something better than your morality. Something better than
living by the commandments of God Something better than doing
good to find acceptance with God turn to Matthew chapter 5
Matthew chapter 5 verse 20 And we talk about salvation we talk
about salvation we're talking about Being accepted of God Bobby,
we're talking about you and me meeting God in his holiness. God who's light, in whom is no
darkness at all. We're talking about us meeting
him and God accepting us, approving of us. It's not hard to get any man's
approval. That's not hard. But God's approval,
you can't earn. You can't earn. God's approval,
you cannot gain by something you do. God's approval, you cannot
win by something you perform. Look at Matthew 5 verse 20. The
Lord Jesus says, I say unto you that except your righteousness
shall exceed exceed the righteousness of the
scribes and Pharisees, you shall in no case enter into the kingdom
of heaven. Do you know what scribes would
do when they would copy the scriptures and they came to one of God's
names? Lindsay, they'd put down their pen and go bathe themselves
and come back and write it. That's called reverence. The Pharisees, they didn't just
tithe on their gross income. They tithed on the net plus some. They tithed on the vegetables
in their gardens. They tithed on the chickens in
the chicken coop. They tithed on everything. They
prayed three times every day. They fasted twice every week. They looked good. They dressed
good. They talked good. They behaved
right. The Pharisees, except your righteousness shall exceed
the righteousness of scribes and Pharisees. You can't get
into glory. Well, how can that be? You've
got to have A righteousness that's equal to God. A righteousness that belongs
to God. a righteousness that is performed
by God, a righteousness that is the gift of God. And that
comes only in person of the God man, Jesus Christ, our Lord,
our righteousness. He came here, Rex, and performed
all righteousness in the stead of his people, satisfied divine
justice on our behalf and makes us the righteousness of God by
the sacrifice of himself. having obtained with his blood
eternal redemption for us. All right, now let's look at
Jacob for a minute and his contentment. Jacob was a believing man who
was content. We shall see in a little bit
that Jacob's contentment was altogether different from Esau's,
but before I get to that, let me remind you that Jacob represents
all God's elect. We are called sons of Jacob.
Jacob was redeemed of the Lord and those who are the sons of
Jacob are God's redeemed. Jesus Christ died for the sons
of Jacob. Jesus Christ purchased the sons
of Jacob out from under the curse of the law. Jesus Christ obtained
eternal redemption for the sons of Jacob. Thou hast with thine
arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. The
sons of Jacob are they to whom the word of God is sent. Elijah spoke of the 12 tribes
of Jacob unto whom the word of the Lord came. saying, Israel
shall be thy name. The sons of Jacob are those people
who hear God speak. If God lets you hear his voice,
if God will speak to you by his word, if God the Holy Spirit
speaks to you while this man's talking to you, if you hear a
voice, not mine, but God's in your heart, That means you're
one of God's sons. He sends his word to the sons
of Jacob. The sons of Jacob are they who are kept and preserved
by God Almighty. I am the Lord, I change not.
Therefore, you sons of Jacob are not consumed. Shelby and I were chatting just
this morning while we were having coffee about God's grace. how he preserves and keeps us
in trial and temptation. When we're weak, Joe, he keeps
us from the things we couldn't handle. And then he gives us
strength and sends us things we wish we had never seen and
makes us glad that he did. But keeps his own, he always
does. He always does. Keeps them. He
keeps them in the midst of their corruptions, in the midst of
their falls, in the midst of their trials, in the midst of
their heartaches, in the midst of their sins that they freely
acknowledge. He keeps them. The word that
Jacob used when he said, I have enough, as I said when I read
the text, means I have all. I have all things. I have the
whole. Now Jacob was a wealthy man,
God had made him so. God had blessed him while he
was down in Laban's house, everything Jacob put his hand to, God blessed
him. Made him a rich man, made him a rich man. But those things
are not what Jacob's talking about. He came to be a man who
was so poor, he had to send his sons down to Egypt to get corn. And so poor, he had to send them
back again in the face of one being killed to get corn. So
poor, he had to send them back again even at the possibility
of losing Benjamin. And still, he said, I have enough. He still had all things. He still possessed the hope.
Jacob said what Esau could never say. He said what every true
believer can and should say, but something the unbeliever
can't say. I have all. Truly that person who has all
things is content. Content. He who has all things
knows that he has all things. God was his covenant, God and
Father. Christ was his Redeemer. The
Spirit of God was his sanctifier. He had all grace bestowed upon
him and was an heir to everlasting glory. Now, children of God,
listen to me. Whatever your circumstances are,
whatever you possess or don't possess, whatever your current
situation is, whatever your current blessedness or current heartache
is. If you're God's, you have enough. If Christ is yours, you have
enough. I want you to get these two statements
in scripture, these two statements, these two things. Second Corinthians
5 18. All things are of God. All things are of God. The Lord
hath made all things for himself, yea, even the wicked for the
day of evil. The lot is cast into the lap,
but the whole disposing thereof is of the Lord. For of him and
through him and to him are all things, to whom be glory forever. All things are of God. Remember
the picture John gives us of heaven. and of all things from
heaven's vantage points. He said, I was in the spirit
and I saw a door open in heaven. First thing I saw was a throne. God sits on the throne. Around
about the throne is a bow. God's everlasting covenant love
surrounding his throne so that everything that proceeds from
the throne of God comes according to that covenant. And I saw a
book written, book of God's eternal purpose and decrees. And behold,
the Lamb of God, the Lamb's slave, he takes the book and reads and
fulfills everything written in the book according to his own
purpose and grace toward his elect. All things are of God,
all things. The Lord kills and the Lord makes
alive. All things are of God. God gives
health and God gives sickness. All things are of God. Our Heavenly
Father makes us strong and He makes us weak. All things are
of God. He sends rejoicing and He sends
bitter tears. All things are of God. Can you
get hold of what I'm talking about? All things are of God. That's the first thing. Second
thing, first Corinthians 321. All things are yours. All things are yours. Not just
for you, yours. Not just good for you, yours.
All things, If you're God's, if you're Christ and Christ is
yours, all things are yours, all things. There shall no evil
happen to the just. We know that all things work
together for good to them that love God, to them who are the
called according to his purpose. I got a call from a dear friend
of mine this week. First few minutes he's on the
phone, I didn't even know who it was. He couldn't stop sobbing,
just crying, just tore up, just tore up. And before we got done,
he said, this is where I find my comfort. All things work together
for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according
to his purpose. I will cry under God most high. unto God that performeth all
things for me. He shall send from heaven and
save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up.
God shall send forth his mercy and his truth. All things are
yours. All temporal things. All temporal
things. Brother Don, I'm not a rich man.
I don't own anything. I don't own anything. Never have.
Never have. But I've got pretty nice shelter
over the top of my head. Keep my body covered up. Stay
warm. I've got plenty to eat. What
was it you said I didn't have? What is it you don't have? Oh,
I need. You need what? All temporal things. Yours. God made Jacob rich and
he made every trick in the book that Laban used to keep Jacob
poor. He used Laban's tricks to make
him rich. But it wasn't just so he'd be
rich. Jacob was that man in and by whom God preserved the covenant
seed, Christ who would come the woman seed. And so Jacob must
feed and clothe and take care of and protect that huge family
through whom the blessing of Abraham, the blessing of God
would come into the world. And God gave him what was needed.
And when it was needful, that all the 70 souls of Israel be
brought to Egypt because God said he would bring his son out
of Egypt. God made him poor and still all
things were his. The corn of Egypt was his. The
famine in the land was his. And the wealth of the land was
his. All things his. All things are yours. All things
spiritual. All things spiritual. All the
blessings of grace. Everything God can give sinners.
All things yours. All forgiveness. All acceptance.
All justification. All righteousness. All things
spiritual. God's favor. God's mercy. God's grace. If Christ is yours,
all are yours. All things eternal are yours,
all things. We are heirs of God and joint
heirs with Jesus Christ. The Lord is my portion, saith
my soul, therefore will I hope in him. Now, let me try to answer
a question for you. What was the difference between
Jacob and Esau? When you understand the difference
between Jacob and Esau, you'll understand the difference between
God's elect and the unbeliever today or yesterday and tomorrow. Esau was a lost, unregenerate,
reprobate man who found everlasting destruction at the end, but found
everything he wanted. in this world. That's all they wanted. Just what he could see, what
he could eat, what he could drink, what he could wear, what he could
touch. That's all they wanted. What
he could show off to other folks. That's all they wanted. That's
all they wanted. I've got everything a fellow
could want. Look at me, Jacob. Man, look how God's blessed me.
I've got everything. I've got everything. I understand
the teaching of Holy Scripture with regard to God's sovereignty,
God's eternal purpose of grace. I'll deal with that in a minute.
For now, let me just say this. Esau was a lost man, not because
God would not save him. but because he didn't want God.
He didn't need him. He didn't need him. He had everything
he wanted. And my friend, if you perish
in your sins, you'll die without Christ and it'll be your fault
alone. Salvation is God's work. If God
saves you, it's all his work. But if you die without Christ,
it'll be because you go to hell, shoving God out of your way. shoving God out of your way.
I don't want to hear that. Tell that preacher to shut up.
I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear it. You'll go to
hell shoving God out of your way. You see, Esau despised Christ. What do you mean despised him? What did he do that showed himself
to be a hater of God? What did he do? He came in one
day from the field and he was tired and thirsty and hungry. And he said to his son, his brother
Jacob, he said, Jacob, I see you've got a pot of beans there. Give me some of your beans. And
Jacob said, sell me your birthright. The birthright. Remember now,
that's what Tamar lost everything for. Birthright. Remember, That birthright is
the covenant promise of God, the through whom Christ is brought
into this world. Ultimately, God's seed brought
here. Jesus Christ, the Lord, the seed
of woman. Jacob said, give me your birthright. And he saw, said, I'm at the
point of death. In thy seed shall all nations
of the earth be blessed. What's that to me? Give me the
beans. He hated God. He hated God. He hated God. And he showed it! Because he loved the beans better
than the birthright. Because at a point in life He
chose to have for himself satisfaction for his belly rather than for
his soul. He despised the birthright. God
left Esau to himself. Because he despised God's birthright,
because he despised God's son, because he counted Christ a common,
worthless thing, God said, all right, Esau, you can have what
you want. You can have it. You want the
world here. You want some more cattle here.
You want a bigger car here. You want a finer house here.
You want some more land here. You want a great name here. I'll
make you the king of Edom. Everybody will know Esau's name.
Is that what you want? You can have it. You can have
it. Not only that, turn to Ecclesiastes chapter three. I'll show you
something else God did. Ecclesiastes three, verse 11. God hath made everything beautiful
in his time, also he hath set the world in their heart, so
that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the
beginning to the end. God set the world in Esau's heart. Oh, I pray God won't do that
to you. Cody, you're going to school
to get a good education. Get it. Work at it. Be the best you
can be at it. I pray God won't set the world
in your heart. God set the world in Esau's heart.
Jacob was a man blessed of God as the everlasting object of
his everlasting love. Before he or Esau were born,
the Lord God said, Jacob have I loved. Esau have I hated. God loved Jacob. God chose Jacob. And God stopped Jacob in his
way and revealed himself to him at Bethel. Jacob is up and on
his way, and he's running. He's running from Laban. He's
just wanting to get out of Laban's house. He's running from Laban.
That's all he wants. Chapter 28, he's, I've had enough
of Laban! And Ronnie ran right smack into
God. Ran right smack into the Son
of God. Because Christ put himself in
his way. I pray that you will know my
God. That you will come to trust my
Redeemer. And I know this, it'll only happen
if he puts himself in your way and stops you in your mad rush
to hell. That's all. That's all. The Lord stopped Jacob in his
way and revealed himself to him. And then he wrestled with him
and conquered him. Made him confess who he is, what
he is. What's your name? My name's a
tricky conniving scoundrel. My name's Jacob. That's what
you are, but not anymore. Your name's Israel. You're a
prince with God now. And God showed himself to Jacob
face to face. He saw Jesus Christ face to face. He thought he saw it got hold
of him before he got done. He found that it was Christ had
hold of it He's I've seen I thought I saw my brother. He saw found
out it was the Lord. I've seen God face to face Everything's
alright. I have all and the Lord God led
Jacob all the days of his life Listen to this He said I am with
thee and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, for
I will not leave thee until I have done that which I have spoken
to thee of." And that's what he says to Bob Pottser too, all
the sons of Jacob, all of them. I will not leave thee until I
have done that which I have spoken to thee of. I'm confident of
this one thing. He which hath begun a good work
in you will perform it unto the day of Jesus Christ." I recall as a young man, hadn't
been long after God saved me, I was going through what I thought
was a terrible trial at the time, and I just I figured it was all over.
I just figured it was all over. And I opened the book, began
to read, and God spoke. Those times, Merle, when only
God can give you peace, he spoke. He said, faithful is he that
calleth you, who also will do it. And here I am. All things are of God. All things are yours. Now let
me tell you what that means. I'll tell you what that means. I have enough. I have enough. I have all. I have the whole. For Christ
is mine, and I'm His. Amen.
