That song will always be special
to me. Thank God for that blood, Bobby. Would you turn to Luke's Gospel,
chapter 2, Luke chapter 2. Thank you for the suit. Don't
I make it look good? The men are not very sympathetic.
Lindsey wasn't kidding you when he said they'll have to find
somebody else to harass. I feel sorry for that fella,
whoever he might be. I got a suggestion who it should
be. But I'll leave that to you fellas. Means I've had mixed emotions,
so to speak, myself. That song we just sang as a congregation
a moment ago, I've been thinking about that a lot lately. We'll
soon be parted by hundreds of miles, about 400 to be exact.
But we'll see each other, Lord willing, from time to time. As
we sang a moment ago, I jotted that down. When we asunder part,
it gives us inward pain. I've been experiencing some of
that as the time gets closer. But we shall still be joined
in heart and hope to meet again. Hope to meet again. Until that
day we're joined hand in hand and heart to heart around the
throne of the king himself. You need not turn there, but
let me read you what the scripture says about that. John says that
I looked and lo, a lamb stood on the Mount Zion, and with him
a hundred and forty and four thousand, representing all God's
elect, having his father's name written in their foreheads. And
I heard a voice from heaven as the voice of many waters, as
the voice of a great thunder. I heard the voice of harpers
harping with their hearts. And they sung, as it were, a
new song before the throne and before the four beasts and the
elders. And no man could learn that song but the hundred and
forty and four thousand which were redeemed from the earth.
These are they which were not defiled with women, for they
are virgins. These are they which follow the
Lamb." I like that, don't you? These are they which follow the
Lamb, whether so ever he goes. Wherever he goes, Merle, they're
going to follow him. Peter, you can't follow me now,
but you're going to follow me hereafter. And that's true of
all these people. These are they which follow the
Lamb, whether so ever he goeth. These were redeemed from among
men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. And in their
mouth was found no gout. That's the grace that Ruth sang
about. They can do this. For they are without fault before
the throne of God." My, my, isn't that something? Isn't that something? Paul, in writing to the church
at Philippi, said, I'm kind of in a straight betwixt two things. To stay with you, which would
be more needful for you, the church. But he said to depart and to be with Christ,
he said, would be far better. Then sometime after that, he
sets in that dungeon cell, lonely, forsaken. But he said, the Lord
didn't forsake me. He said, Timothy, come soon. Come before winter. The time
of my departure, my departure is at hand. Paul, by God's grace,
as a believing man, as a redeemed sinner, he spoke about death
like an answering, like someone arising from their seat upon
hearing a knock at the door, and they're just going to go
open the door. That's the way Paul said, I'm ready to be offered
up. The time of my departure is at
hand. But now let's consider an example
of one of God's own that was ready to depart. And it's not
Paul, Simeon, Simeon. All God's people are ready to
depart on the exact same grounds that Paul was, as Simeon was. Our Lord said, all that the Father
giveth me shall come to me. They'll come to me. They'll come
to me in time, as Joe prayed a moment ago. God will call them
by his grace. Those sheep that were entrusted
to the great shepherd, Those for whom He shed His blood, those
of the Spirit in time, call to Him. They'll come to Him in time
and they'll come to Him in eternity. He said, Father, I will. I want. I want them with Me. Isn't that
something? I want them with Me. Are you
a child of God? Christ said, Father, I will also
that those whom you've given Me be with Me where I am. that they might behold my glory. Isn't that something? He wants
us where He is. On the same grounds as this old
man was ready to depart, so is every believer ready to depart.
That is Simeon. Luke chapter 2, let's begin reading
at verse 21. And when eight days were accomplished
for the circumcising of the child, His name was called Jesus, which
was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
And when the days of her purification, according to the law of Moses,
was accomplished, that is Mary, 40 days, they brought him to
Jerusalem to present him to the Lord. As it is written in the
law of the Lord, every male that openeth the womb shall be called
holy to the Lord. and to offer a sacrifice according
to that which is said in the law of the Lord, a pair of turtledoves
and two young pigeons. And behold, there was a man in
Jerusalem, just a man, just a man, all but a man who was loved by
God with an everlasting love, whose name was Simeon. And the
same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of
Israel, and the Holy Ghost was upon him. And it was revealed
unto him by the Holy Ghost that he should not see death before
he had seen the Lord's Christ. And he came by the Spirit into
the temple, and when the parents brought in the child Jesus to
do for him after the custom of the law, then took he up in his
arms and blessed God and said, Now let us now by servant depart
in peace according to that word. For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
which now has prepared, prepared before the face of all people,
a light to lighten the Gentiles and the glory of my people, Israel.
And Joseph and his mother marveled at those things were spoken of
him and Simeon blessed him and sent him to marry his mother.
Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of
many in Israel. and for a sign which will be
spoken against. Yea, a sword shall pierce through
thine own soul also, that the thoughts of many hearts may be
revealed. And there was one Anna, a prophetess,
the daughter of Phaneuel of the tribe of Aser, and she was of
great age. and had lived with her husband
seven years from her virginity. And she was a widow of about
four score and four years, which departed not from the temple,
but served God with fastings and prayer night and day. And
she coming in at that instant gave thanks likewise along with
Simeon unto the Lord and spake of him, spake of him to all them
that looked for redemption in Jerusalem. And when they had
performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they
returned unto Galilee to their own city, Nazareth." Nazareth. The title of my message is, Ready
to Depart. I take that title from verses
29 and 30. Simeon's words upon embracing
the child of Jesus, the babe, looking up on him, he says, Lord,
now, now let us, thou thy servant depart in peace according to
thy word, according to what you promised me before, for or because
I can die now, I can die in peace, for my eyes have seen thy salvation,
ready to depart. First, let's consider Simeon's
request, what he asked in verse 29, and then we'll consider why
he asked it. What he asked, Lord, now let
us now thy servant depart in peace. Depart. Die. Leave this world. The word depart
in the original depicts the idea of being loosed from a chain,
like a bird, chained and unable to fly. It pictures this where
Depart has that idea of a bird being loose from a chain and
flying free up in the sky. It also has the idea of a prisoner,
a prisoner in a dungeon cell being set free. The door being
opened and that prisoner being told, you're free. You can go. You don't have to stay here anymore.
These bars won't hold you any longer. This is what Simeon was
thinking of when he said, Lord, let me depart. I want to go home. Set me free from this body of
death. Free to go. All but notice, Simeon
didn't pray simply to depart or to die. Because we're all
going to face death. But he said, Lord, let thy servant
depart in peace. Ah, it's appointed unto men once
to die, all men, whether saved or not. We're all going to depart
this world. Our life is like a vapor. It's
here for a little while. A vapor. Is anything more fleeting
than a vapor? You see it and it's gone. That's
our life. That's our life. That's all men's
life, no matter how long they may live. Oh, we all are going
to face death. We're all going to depart this
world. Oh, but Simeon said, Lord, let
me depart in peace. Now, how is that possible, Rex?
How can this sinner, how do you know he was a sinner? Because
all men are sinners. If you would shake his family
tree, old Adam would fall out, just like yours and just like
mine. Oh, how is it possible for this
sinner that we read of, this sinner that stands before you
and tries to preach to you, and these sinners that are trying
to listen to me, how is it possible for a sinner to die? to go out to face God Almighty. It's appointed and a man wants
to die, but that's not where it ends, is it, Don? It says,
and after this, after this, the judgment, the judgment. Who's the judge? The God of all
the earth. that got high and lifted up. God as He is, God that declares,
I will in no wise clear the guilty or pass by iniquity. The soul
that sinneth, this God says, must die. There's no way around
it. God would cease to be God if
it was otherwise. Oh, we stand before Him? Simeon said, well, I'll depart
in peace. Let me depart in peace, O God. How is that possible? How is
it possible for a sinner to die at peace with God, like Simeon
requested? Oh, though I walk through the
valley of the shadow of death, David said, I will fear no evil.
Why? Why David? Because thou, thou
God, thou my great shepherd, thou art with me. That's the only way anyone can
die in peace. That's the only way anyone can
die with acceptance before a holy God. That's why this saint of
God, like Paul, was just like he was answering a knock at the
door. So calm, so at peace, so content. There's nothing left for me to
do. I've seen your salvation. This old world will never afford
me anything like that to look on. There's nothing else to live
for. Just let me die. Let me die in peace. Oh, but God. Turn, if you will,
to Psalm 49. There are so many places we could
turn to, but for the sake of time, let's just look at this
one in the 49th Psalm. Psalm 49, verse 15. We all go down to the grave,
but the psalmist says in verse 15, but God. There's that word
again, but. But God. But God will redeem
my soul from the power of the grave for he shall receive me. That's amazing. That's amazing. But God will redeem my soul from
the power of the grave for he, God, shall receive me. But God, that's all the difference
between Simeon and Judas or you and I, the only difference between
heaven and hell is but God. The only difference in life,
in death, the only difference whether I hear in that moment
that I leave this world, the only difference Whether I hear
enter into the joy prepared for you from the foundation of the
world, or I hear depart from me into outer darkness, I never
knew you. The only difference is the difference
that the God of all grace made. Oh, thank God for that grace. Oh, to die with peace, at peace
with God. To die at peace with God. Oh, our Lord said, my peace I
give unto you. My peace I leave with you. Not
as the world gives. No, no, no. Not as the world
gives. Give unto you. Let not your heart
be troubled. Neither let it be afraid. Don't
be afraid. Peace with God. Turn if you will
to Romans chapter 5, this familiar passage. How can a sinner die
at peace with the Holy God? Right here. The same way that
Simeon did. By beholding, experiencing, seeing,
believing, embracing God's salvation. Verse one of Romans five, therefore
being justified by faith, we have peace with God. Peace with
God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Peace with God. Not at war, not
enemies. Oh, no. Peace with God. I send
to my God and your God, our master said, and unto my father and
your father. Peace with God, verse 2, by whom
also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand
and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Therefore, being justified
by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Oh, peace with God. Turn, if
you will, over a few pages to Ephesians chapter 2. Ephesians
chapter 2. How can a sinner depart this
world? With peace, peace with God and
the peace of God. Verse 14 of Ephesians 2. For
He is our peace. Who are you talking about, Paul?
The same one he always talked about, the Lord Jesus Christ. We've been made now in the previous
verse, verse 13, by the blood of Christ. For He is our peace. He is. Not what I've done. or neglected to do. Oh no. He is my peace before God. The
reason I had peace with God is not because of what I've done.
It's because of what he's done. There's your comfort. There's
your hope. There's your pillow of consolation. of the restuary head on fellow
pilgrim, he is our peace, Jesus Christ, who is the same yesterday,
today, and forever. That one of whom the Father said,
this is my son, I'm well pleased in him, and I'm accepted in him,
he must be well pleased with me too. And that's exactly what
the scripture said. He is our peace, who have made
both one, and have broken down the middle wall of partition
between us. Oh, thank God. He's our peace. It's all dependent on Him. My
acceptance before a holy God is dependent upon Him. His work,
not mine. His merit, not mine. Thank God His merit rides over
my demerits. His worth, not mine. His worth
reigns over my unworthiness. Where sin abounded, grace doth
much more abound. His grace reaches deeper, bless
God, than the stain has gone. That's the kind of grace this
sinner needs. Oh, grace that can pardon and
cleanse within. Grace that is greater than all
my sin. My soul. This is what Simeon
saw in the person of Jesus Christ. This is what he was looking at
when he said, now let your servant depart in peace. Why? Verse 30. Verse 30, we looked
at Simeon's prayer, his request. Now why? The reason he could
depart in peace? For mine eyes have seen thy salvation. This is why he asked what he
did in verse 29. For or because my eyes have seen
thy salvation. How did Simeon know that that
Jewish baby boy, that little dark-skinned baby boy, was the
Messiah? Were there angels flying around
there? No, no, no. You know what? He didn't look any different,
Bob, than any other dark-skinned Jewish baby boy in the temple
that day. There may have been others. There
may have been other mothers coming to present their sons to the
Lord according to the law. I don't know. How did Simeon
know that this was the Lord's Messiah? Oh, it was revealed
to him by God's Spirit. Look again at verse 26. And it
was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost that he should not
see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ. Okay, Christ
is brought to the temple. Look at verse 27. And so is Simeon. Grace brings the sinner and the
Savior together. Oh, and he came by the Spirit
into the temple. Oh, what a lucky day, Simeon.
Oh, no. He came by the Spirit into the
temple. And that same Spirit whispered
in Simeon's ear, in Simeon's heart, I should say, and said,
you see that little child? You see that child in the arms
of that lady? His mother, that's Him, Simeon. That's the Messiah. That's the
one I promised you you wouldn't die until you had seen Him. That's how Simeon knew. Not with
the physical eye, but with the eye of faith. And it's the same
way today. We're not saved if we can see
Christ with the physical eye. It's with the eye of faith. Thomas,
because you see me, you profess to believe. Blessed are those
who won't see me and yet will believe. Oh, yes. Thank God. Jesus was Jesus. It was in the arms of that Jewish
woman, Mary, his mother, that the Holy Spirit of God directed
Simeon's heart to and said, Simeon, that's him. That's Him. Isn't that amazing? He didn't
look any different. I know He didn't look any different
than the other babe in the temple that day. Because we were flesh
and blood, He likewise took part of the same. Same as you and
I, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Simeon saw Christ with the eyes
of faith and thereby knew he was God's salvation, the Messiah,
the only way any sinner knows that. Paul said in 2 Corinthians
5, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now know
we Him no more. You're the Christ, Peter said,
in answer to who am I? You're the Christ. Blessed art
thou, Simon Barjona. Wait a minute. Simon had seen
Christ for several years, as none of the other men had. He
was among the elect of the elect. Along with James and John, he
saw things that even the others hadn't seen. On the Mount of
Transfiguration, for example, that night he prayed in the garden
as Great drops of blood poured from his brow. And yet he said
to Peter, flesh and blood didn't reveal this to you, Peter. But
my Father which is in heaven, you see me just like Judas saw
him. But Judas never believed. He
never had faith. Christ did something for Peter
that he didn't do for Judas. Brothers and sisters, the same
way that Simeon knew that that babe was God's Messiah, that
he was God's salvation, is the same way a sinner is revealed
to him today. by the Satan spirit of God, open
in his blinded eyes and say, look unto me, behold, I am God
and there is none else. Look unto me and be ye saved. Oh, in John 6, our Lord said,
All that the Father giveth me shall come to me. But on down
in the chapter, he said, And this is the will of the Father
that sent me, that all that seeth the Son and believeth should
have everlasting life. And I'll raise him up at the
last day. Isn't that a glorious gospel, Jonathan? Isn't it? Look
and live. Sinner, look and live. He said,
As Moses lifted up that brazen serpent. And those dying Jews, all they
had to do was look and live, not to look at Moses. not to
look at the pole, but to look at that brazen serpent. Christ
said, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up that whosoever
believeth, whosoever looks, he might look in the last breath
of his life like that thief on the cross. If he looks, he's
going to live and today be with me in paradise. Isn't that glorious? He said, I've seen thy salvation. No wonder he said, break these
chains. Turn me loose. Let me fly away. Let me soar to glory to be with
my Redeemer. Let me go. Oh, thy salvation. What's that mean? That means
thy salvation, that is God's salvation. Simeon was saying,
let me depart because I've seen thy salvation. He was addressing
God. And speaking of Christ, how is
Christ God's salvation? Because God provided him. In
verse 21 it says, thou hast prepared him. Genesis 22, Abraham and
Isaac, you know the passage. They're walking up to that mountain.
They leave the servants and only Abraham and his son Isaac make
the rest of the journey. Father, here's the wood and here's
the fire. Rex, Isaac said, Father, where's
the lamb? Where's the lamb for the sacrifice? And Abraham said, Son, Isaac,
God will provide himself a lamb. Just as Simeon said here, that
you've prepared, that you've provided, God provided the lamb. And don't you know that Isaac
was glad he did? Isaac didn't have a problem with
substitution. Oh no, when he was taken off
of that altar and that ram was laid in his place, don't you
know he left that mount rejoicing in the God of his salvation?
Oh, thy salvation provided by God. In the fullness of time,
God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law.
In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
Then said I, in the body, Christ speaking to the Father, in the
body that thou hast prepared me, I come to do thy will, O
God, by whose offering he has perfected forever those that
are sanctified. God prepared that body. Oh yeah,
thy salvation, it was provided by God, and bless God, naturally
it must be accepted by God. He provided it and He accepts
it. Our Lord said, I'm the way, the
truth, the life. No man, no man cometh unto the
Father but by me. No man, never, never. It's never happened. What about
in the Old Testament? It never happened. Abraham, Noah,
Adam. They all came to God through
Jesus Christ. He's always been the only mediator
between God and man. There's never been another and
there never will be another. Any sinner that's ever come to
God in peace has come through and because of and in Jesus Christ. He's the Lamb of God slain from
before the foundation of the world. He's always been the substitute
for sinners. He was a substitute before there
was a sinner. God had already provided him
as the substitute. Thy salvation. Singular. Singular. Not I've seen thy salvations
or one of thy salvation. No, I've seen thy salvation. Look again at verse 11 of Luke
chapter 2. Singular. Only one. For unto
us the angels tell them, for unto you rather, for unto you
is born this day in the city of David a Savior, a Savior,
singular, only one, only one. That's the only one there'll
ever be. You look to anything or anyone
except Jesus Christ, and you miss the only Savior. There is
born unto you this day in the city of David a Savior. He's
the only one. And that's the one Simeon was
looking at and embracing when he said, Father, I've seen your
salvation. Oh, a Savior, which is Christ
the Lord. Call His name Jesus. For He shall
save His people from their sins. He alone put away the sins of
His people. When He had by Himself purged
our sins, isn't He glorious? Isn't He something? Isn't He something? When He had
by Himself, all those animal sacrifices couldn't do it. All
of our prayers couldn't do it. Our tears couldn't do it. Our
faith couldn't do it? Not false faith, real faith.
Our repentance couldn't do it? Oh, but only He. When He had
by Himself, all alone, He tried them with winepress, and other
people, there was none with Him. When He had by Himself, oh, behold
Him, brothers and sisters. Behold Him. By Himself, He purges
our sins. He exclaims, It is finished! And He sits down at the right
hand of the Majesty on high. He ever liveth to make intercession
for us, therefore He's able to save unto the uttermost all that
come unto God by Him. John said, I saw Him, and I'll
tell you what, upon His head were many crowns. Many crowns. He wears many crowns. What about
your crown? Well, John says you'll take it
and cast it at his feet and say, worthy is the lamb. He wears
all the crowns. He's God's salvation because
the salvation of God's elect is put in his hands. It's put
in his hands. He's responsible. God gave us
the Christ before the world was. And Christ agreed in that covenant
of grace to become responsible, to surety, to do everything necessary,
everything that God Almighty required to satisfy His holy
law, to live for them, to die for them, to suffer for them,
to arise for them, to intercede for them, the brave in the glory,
that where He is, they may be there also. He does it all. He's the shepherd. You remember
when He healed that blind man and the Sanhedrin didn't like
the answers that the man was given, so they excommunicated
him? And the great shepherd found that sheep and said, Do you believe
on the Son of God? Who is He? He said, It's the
man that's talking to you right now. And he bowed before Him
and said, Oh, I believe. And he said, oh, for judgment
and I come into this world that they who see might be made blind
and those who see not may see. And the Pharisee were standing
there. Are we blind also? And our Lord was talking to them
in chapter 10 when He said, I'm the shepherd. You're not. You're
harlots. You see the wolf coming and you
flee from the sheep. But not me. I'm the good shepherd. You only claim to be. You only
pretend to be. I really am. I lay down my life
for the sheep. They're my sheep. God gave them
to me. I'm responsible for them, not
you. And it'll be the boast of our
great shepherd in that day when he stands before God with that
multitude that no man can number. He'll say, Father, I lost none. And you know what we'll say?
Worthy is the Lamb. Worthy is the lamb, for eternity
will cry, worthy is the lamb. Oh, no wonder Simeon said, let
me die. Let me die for mine eyes have
seen thy salvation. God's salvation. And let me emphasize
this point as well. Thy salvation, God's salvation
is a person. It's a person, Bob. It's not
a creed. It's not a set of points, whether
they be five Arminian points or five Calvinistic points. That's
not salvation. Salvation. Simeon wasn't looking
at a scroll. He was looking at a living, breathing
God-man. He was looking at a living person. When he said, I'll be held, I'll
see your salvation. Oh, look at verse 26 again. It
was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost that he should not
see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ. And I hope
you, you're here tonight and you don't
know Christ. I hope you don't see death before
you see him. I hope you don't see death before
you see Christ. I hope God is pleased to do for
you what He did for Simeon, what He's done for a multitude. I
hope He is pleased to open your blinded eyes like He did on young
Spurgeon during that snowy morning, that snowy wintery morning, when
that man stood up and said, Behold the Lamb of God. And old Spurgeon
said the scales fell off his eyes. And he said, I've never
seen such a sight in my life. And when he died, when he died,
you could go to that cemetery, Norwood Cemetery in London, outside
London. And on that tomb, it's written,
ere sense by faith I saw the stream, thy flowing wound supply,
redeeming love has been my theme and shall be till I die. When
this poor lisping, stammering tongue lies silent in the grave,
then in her nobler, sweeter song, I'll sing thy power to say, O
behold, the Lamb of God. After seeing Christ, Simeon says,
death doesn't seem so gloomy. It just doesn't seem so gloomy.
After seeing Him who says, I am He that liveth and was dead,
and behold, I'm alive forevermore, amen, and have the keys of hell
and of death, we can respond and sing to Him, O death, where
is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law.
But thanks be unto God, who giveth us the victory through our Lord
Jesus Christ. Oh, what a poor thing this world
looks like to one like Simeon. What a poor thing this world
looks like to one who has Christ in his arms and salvation in
his eye. Beholding the Lamb of God, Let
me go. Let me go. Cut the chain. Let
me depart in peace. Everything we know about Simeon
is recorded right here in these few verses. Only place. He's
never mentioned anywhere else in the Gospels. Everything we
know about Simeon is here. His whole history, so brief,
and yet so full of grace and truth. Turn, if you will, we'll
wrap this up, over to chapter 10 in Luke's Gospel. Luke chapter
10. And I pray that God would be
pleased to, we that have had our eyes opened
by His marvelous matchless grace, might be enabled to have another
glimpse of Him and to leave here rejoicing and exclaiming, hallelujah,
what a Savior. Luke chapter 10 verse 20, notwithstanding
in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you,
but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
In that hour, Jesus rejoiced in spirit and said, I thank thee,
O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these
things from the wise and prudent, and has revealed them unto babes.
Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in thy sight. All things
are delivered to me of my Father. No man knoweth who the son is,
but the father, and who the father is, but the son, and he to whom
the son will reveal him. And he turned him unto his disciples
and said privately, O may his spirit turn unto you and I and remind
us. Blessed are the eyes which see
the things that you see. It wasn't always so, was it?
We wandered in darkness, engulfed in darkness, embraced it and
loved it. Oh, blessed are the eyes which
see the things that you see. For I tell you that many prophets
and kings have desired to see those things which you see and
have not seen them and to hear those things which you hear and
have not heard them. Oh, how blessed you are. Augustus Toplady wrote this. Let me share it with you. He
said, and what is death to those that are born of God? It is but
another gathering, another gathering of them unto Christ. The soul
of a saint is gathered from the body as a flower from the stalk
to adorn the court of heaven and to bloom forever in the bosom
of God. Those who are gathered to him
by grace are at death only gathered unto glory. And shortly before
his own death in 1778, he wrote his most famous hymn. While I draw this fleeting breath,
when mine eyes shall close in death, when I arise to worlds
unknown, and behold thee on thy throne, rock of ages, cleft for
me, let me hide myself in thee. And this is the will, once more. Unbeliever, listen. This is the
will of Him that sent me. These are the words of Christ.
This is the promise of Christ. This is the will of Him that
sent me, that everyone would seeth the Son, and believeth
on Him, may have everlasting life, and I will raise Him up
at the last day. Thank God if you've seen His
salvation. God bless you. Thank you for
your attention.
