So that is true. Now this evening,
our study from Psalm 34, I've entitled the message for us,
found in verse number two, my soul shall make her boast in
the Lord. My soul finds great delight rejoicing
in the Lord. who is God Almighty, who is the
Lord Jesus Christ and salvation in Him. Truly now, we can say
this is a desire, this is the desire of those who know Him,
those who reverence Him, those who love Him, to make our boast
in the Lord. All those who know Him in saving
mercy, those who have been granted saving knowledge, those who have
been given a revelation of who the Lord Jesus Christ is and
what He has done, they do find the light and they do rejoice
in the Lord Jesus Christ. They love to declare salvation
in Christ Jesus. Salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ. Purposed by Him. Accomplished
by Him. Applied by Him. Kept by Him. We love to boast of Christ. We can say with the Apostle Paul,
I'm determined not to know anything among you. Say Jesus Christ in
Him crucified. The only way God can show mercy
to guilty sinners is through the Lord Jesus Christ in Him
crucified. The only way God can be just
and holy and at the same time merciful and in showing and exercising
loving kindness unto His people is to have our sins fully dealt
with in our substitute, the Lord Jesus Christ. Our desire in our
preaching is to brag on Christ. to brag on Christ. That's what
it's all about. That's why we're here. This book
has one message. All this book, this Bible we
have, that we carry, that we read, has but one message. To
Him give all the prophets witness. This Bible has but one central
theme. It's all about a person. The
Lord Jesus Christ. His glory. His redeeming mercy. And I desire in preaching is
to brag on Christ. Our desire in our worship is
to give glory due unto His matchless name. That is our desire in worship,
in preaching, to find our delight in Christ alone. Back in Psalm
29, verse 1, it says, Give unto the Lord, ye mighty sons of God,
give unto the Lord glory and strength, that is, worship Him. Worship Him in the beauty of
holiness in Christ Jesus. Again, in Psalm 33, it talks
about worship. Rejoice in the Lord, all ye righteous,
for praise is proper, worship is proper, calmly for the upright. It's right to worship Him. God
says so. The Father seeketh such to worship
him in spirit and in truth. And I know this, there is no
spiritual worship apart from the truth of God's gospel being
declared. The truth of who God is, the
truth of who we are, God is holy, we're just the opposite, we're
sinful. The truth of who the Lord Jesus Christ is, Who is
he? Is he just some historical character
we find in the pages of history? He is, my friend, God Almighty,
manifest in the flesh. And it's who He is that gives
power, weight, and glory to all that He has done for us. My soul shall make her boast
in the Lord. That's our desire, to worship
Him in spirit and in truth. Tell the truth of salvation,
the truth of who God is, the truth of who we are, the truth
of what Christ accomplished. Did he come just to make salvation
a possibility? As some folks say. They say,
well, He came to make salvation a possibility for all men if
they would exercise and meet certain conditions. Well, that's
not grace. That's merit. The Lord Jesus
Christ didn't come to make salvation a possibility. The Lord Jesus
Christ came and accomplished salvation for His covenant people. And the message of Scripture
is, He didn't fail. He's victorious. He's enthroned. He's exalted. He's seated. And He's coming again to receive
unto Him what He bought. He bought the church with His
own blood. He's going to have what He bought.
His own people. God purchased the church with
His own blood. You see, you can't brag on Christ
too much. You can't preach him too high,
too holy, too exalted. Can't do it. Can't do it. Now
let's look at verse 1 for a moment. I will, I will bless the Lord. I will bless the Lord. at all
times, at all times. His praise, His praise, glorying
in Him, His praise shall continually be in my mouth. Now I will bless
the Lord. Here's a firm, fixed resolve
of every believer. I will And I shall, I will and
I shall bless the Lord, worship Him, and praise Him. The Lord
has by right and decree a monopoly on our praise and worship. And
He is deserving of such. For all that we are, He made
us. We can say with the Apostle Paul,
I am what I am by the grace of God. All that we have, he's blessed
us with all spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus.
All that we have is gift of his hand. All that we know is by
His sovereign revelation. You know, it takes God to reveal
God. He's hid these things from the
wise and prudent and revealed them unto babes. You see, everything
we are, He made us. Everything we have, He gave us. Everything we know, He taught
us. It's all by His sovereign grace. For we read in Scripture, for
who had made us to differ from another? What do we have that
we didn't receive as a free gift of God? Now, if you received
it as a free gift of God, why would you boast in anything but
in Christ alone? You see, He's deserving of all
worship and honor, isn't He? We read in the Revelation that
the Lamb of God, do you ever notice all through the Revelation,
He is pictured in his sacrificial character as the Lamb of God. The revelation is all about a
revelation of the Lamb of God. Behold the Lamb! The Lamb of
God. The Lamb of God. And it says
in Revelation 5 that this Lamb of God who redeemed us with His
own blood is worthy and deserving of all honor and glory. The Song
of the Eternal Ages is worthy of the Lamb that was slain to
receive all honor, blessing, glory, and power both now and
forever. God's people learn that song
here as they're redeemed by His grace. And there is a continuing
glorious song throughout the ages unto Him who loved us and
washed us from our sin in His own blood. I will bless the Lord
at all times. Oh, He's worthy of our worship.
He's worthy of our devotion. He's worthy of our commitment
and total sell-out to the Lord Jesus Christ. Now, notice this. When are we to bless the Lord
and worship Him? It says here, at all times. At
all times. At all times. before the trial
come. And trials are coming. We either
find ourselves heading for a trial, or going through a trial, or
we find ourselves on the other side of the trial. But trials
are common. to God's people. Are they not?
Peter talks about that. Consider not the fiery trials
that God sends our way as a strange thing. Trials are coming. Our Lord said in this world you
shall have tribulation. God's people are those who have
been through much heartache, much sorrow in this life. Now, he said bless the Lord at
all times. All times. Now, I want you to
find the little book of Habakkuk. It's not hard to find. It's four
or five books backward from the book of Matthew. Malachi, Zechariah. I want you to find this and mark
this in your Bible. Haggai, Zephaniah, Habakkuk. Chapter 3. This is a prayer. There's three chapters in this
little book of Habakkuk. Habakkuk said, the just shall
live by faith. But in chapter 3 verse 17, now
I said, bless the Lord, the scripture says, at all times, at all times,
trust Him at all times. Habakkuk chapter 3 verse 17. Now look at this carefully. Although
the fig tree shall not blossom, and here's some trials that are
coming, neither shall the fruit be in the vines, the labor of
the olives shall fail, and the field shall yield no meat, the
flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd
in the stall. Here's a famine. No meat, no fruit. Cut off. Yet. at all times. Yet. I will rejoice in the Lord. I will joy in the God of my salvation. The Lord God is my strength.
He will make my feet like hinds feet. He will make me to walk
upon my high places to the chief singer upon my stringed instruments. I will rejoice in the Lord. In
the midst of heartache, in the midst of trial, where do you
find comfort? only in the Lord, only as we
find salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ. Now in the second part
of verse 2 in Psalm 34, His praise shall continually be in my mouth,
be in my mouth. Let me show you another Psalm
here that I think will help us maybe here to understand what
he's saying. His praise shall continually
be in my mouth. And the reason that praise and
glory in the Lord is found in the mouth of the believer is
because it comes from the well of the heart. For I've often
said, that which is found in the well of the heart comes out
through the bucket of the mouth. And that's true. In the well
of the heart is evil, our Lord said, out of the heart proceeds
evil thoughts, fornication, blasphemies, all these things. But I tell
you, when the heart is made new in Christ Jesus, when He's given
us a new heart in regenerating grace, I tell you what flows
out of that new heart, Praise unto the Lord. We say with David
here in Psalm 103, Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that
is within me. Bless his holy name. Bless the
Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgiveth
all thine iniquities, who healeth all thy diseases. How does He
forgive our iniquities? He bare our sin in His own body
on the tree. He healeth all our diseases,
being made our substitute, taking the diseases of our sin unto
Himself, and with His stripes we are healed, Isaiah 53. Who redeemeth thy life from destruction? Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness
and tender mercy? Who satisfies thy mouth with
good things? So we speak forth good things.
My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord. His praise shall
continually be in my mouth. Who satisfieth thy mouth with
good things, so that thy youth is renewed like the eagles, flying
high, praising unto the Lord. The new heart given in regeneration
always speaks. Now this is always true. The
new heart, given in regenerating grace, being born from again,
always speak high and holy things of Christ, the Lord Jesus Christ. Our Lord said in John 12, when
Isaiah saw Him, He spake of His glory. You remember what Job
said? I think it's the last chapter
of the book of Job. Job said, I've heard of thee
by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye, I see you, wherefore
I abhor and I hate myself. That new heart given in Christ
Jesus, does any man be in Christ? He is a new creature. Old things
are passed away. Behold, all things become new.
The new heart, given in regeneration, always causes the believer to
speak high and holy things of Christ and low and abasing thoughts
of self. We say with the Apostle Paul,
O wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from this body
of death? Oh, I thank God through Christ
Jesus our Lord. I will bless the Lord at all
times. His praise shall be continually
found in my mouth, for it flows out of that new heart given by
God's sovereign mercy in Christ. Therefore, verse 2, My soul shall
make her boast in the Lord, all that he has done for us. The
humble, those who are humbled by his grace, the humble shall
hear thereof. And be glad, and be glad. We have only one foundation on
which we are to boast. upon which we are to rejoice. We are the true Israel of God,
as Paul writes to the Philippians. which worship God in His Spirit,
that rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have zero confidence in the
flesh. My soul shall make her boast,
my soul shall find confidence in the Lord, upon that one foundation
that God has laid, only in Christ and Christ alone. So we glory
only in Him. Now if you find Jeremiah 9, Jeremiah
chapter 9. And Paul uses a portion of this
in 1 Corinthians chapter 1. He said, But of him are you in
Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, righteousness,
sanctification, and redemption, that according as it is written,
He that would glory, let him glory only in the Lord. And it
comes from Jeremiah 9. Verse 23, if you notice the marginal
reference there, it has 1 Corinthians 1.31. 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 he that glorieth Let him that glorieth glory in this,
that he understandeth, and that he knows me, who I am, that I
am the Lord. I am God, beside me there is
no other, the only just God and Savior, Isaiah 45, that I am
the Lord which exercise lovingkindness. He has loved his own with an
everlasting love, therefore with lovingkindness does he draw us
to himself. Aren't you glad that the Lord
exercises lovingkindness? That he demonstrates lovingkindness? Where do we see the lovingkindness
of God demonstrated? Christ crucified. Here in his
love John said not that we love God but that he loved us and
that he sent his son to be the sacrifice, the propitiation,
the atoning victim for our sin that I am the Lord. Oh I exercise
loving-kindness. I exercise judgment. I am the
Lord, he says, I will do right, shall not the judge of all the
earth do right? Whatever he does is right. Judgment. I exercise judgment. I exercise
mercy. I exercise righteousness. I the Lord. I exercise righteousness. He gives out his salvation in
an absolute righteous manner, and he does this in the earth.
For in these things I delight, saith the Lord. sayeth the Lord. Those who are humbled, now look
what it says back in verse 2 of Psalm 34. My soul shall make
her boast in the Lord, the humble, those who were humbled by his
grace shall hear thereof. Oh, and I tell you they're glad,
they're glad. Those humbled by his grace, or
we can say it this way, those who were saved by his grace,
are most happy and glad to hear about the gospel of God concerning
the Lord Jesus Christ and His saving mercy, His saving grace
in Christ. Now I've never heard, maybe you
have, I haven't, I've never heard a believer complain about a sermon
that gave too much honor and glory to the Lord. Have you? or that sermon that has abased
the flesh for what it is, sin, sin. They're bringing a message
today from Ephesians chapter 2 where Paul reminds those from
Ephesus what they were in time past, uncircumcised. He said, flesh, flesh, ungodly
flesh, without Christ, without God, without hope in this world. That's what we are in the flesh,
flesh. You can't abase the flesh too
much, nor can you exalt the Lord Jesus Christ too high. I'm always most glad to hear
about Him For God said, This is my beloved son, in whom I
am well pleased. Hear him. Would you hear him? Oh, God give us ears to hear
him. Our Lord said, Blessed are your
ears, for they hear your eyes, for they see. My soul shall make
a boast in the Lord. The humble shall hear thereof
and be glad. Look over at Psalm 32 verse 11. Be glad in the Lord, ye righteous,
and rejoice, ye righteous, and shout for joy all you who are
upright in heart. Made new in Christ Jesus. Now
look at verse 3. Psalm 34 verse 3. Oh magnify,
magnify, magnify the Lord. And let's do it together. Magnify
the Lord with me. Let's worship Him together. Oh,
magnify the Lord with me. Let us exalt His name. His name for there's no other
name There's no other name under heaven given among men whereby
we must be saved. Let us exalt his Name God has
given him a name which is above every name. He is the Lord Jesus
Christ And let everyone bow and acknowledge
it he is Lord now this is our desire when we come together
as believers Let's exalt His name together. Let's do it together. Let us meet together in His name. He said we're two or three are
met together in my name. I'm with you. I'm among you. Let us magnify the Lord together. Let us worship the Lord together. Let us encourage one another
to worship and praise Him. Let us do this. by His grace. Turn back to Psalm 29 verse 9. Psalm 29, verse 9. Let us encourage
one another and worship Him. Let us exalt His name together. Psalm 29, verse 9. The voice
of the Lord maketh the hinds a calf, and discovereth the forest
in his temple, and discovereth the forest and in his temple
doth everyone speak of his glory. That's what we speak about, His
glory. Not ours. Not what we've done. Not what
I'm going to do. We speak about His glory. Psalm
26, verse 8, turn back over there. Psalm 26, verse 8. Love beareth all things, the scripture
said. Psalm 26, verse 8. Lord, I have
loved the habitation of thine house, thy house, the place where
your honor dwells, the place where your honor dwells. Thank
God that the Lord has blessed us to meet together from time
to time in the place that he has given unto us. And our desire
is that his glory dwells there. That is in the preaching of the
gospel. In the preaching of the gospel
of God's grace. Now this is one reason we're
commanded to meet together. and not forsake the assembling
of ourselves together, but to gather together publicly in his
name, to have a public witness among people, and to publicly
preach the gospel, and to publicly worship the Lord. Psalm 122 declares, I was glad
when they said unto me, let us go into the house of the Lord. Why did we come here? Why were
you here this evening? You didn't come here just to
hear me, did you? I hope you didn't. Stay home. You won't
get a blessing if you just came to hear me. But I trust you came
to hear what God says through his servant and that'll bless
his people. It'll bless his people. Oh, magnify
the Lord with me. Oh, let us exalt his name together. Let us do it together. Together. Make one together, together in
Christ. Now look at verse 4 down to verse
7. David relates unto us his experience of grace. In verses
4 down through 7. Remember David is at a low point
in his life. Exiled from Jerusalem. A sworn enemy of the king of
Israel at that time. And here's what he does. God
help us to follow his example. Look at verse 4. I sought the
Lord. I sought the Lord, and He heard
me, and He delivered me from all my fears." He seeks mercy. He seeks relief in whom it's
found, in Christ Jesus. Now here's the exhortation of
Scripture. If you find Hebrews 4, Hebrews
4 verse 16, Hebrews 4 verse 16, He seeks mercy where it's found. I sought the Lord, and He heard
me, and then He delivered me from all my fears. In Hebrews
4 verse 16, Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of
grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time
of need. Seeing that we have a great high
priest that is passed into the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us
hold fast our profession and let us come boldly unto the throne
of grace. David said, I sought the Lord.
How do we seek the Lord? Well, we seek the Lord in His
Word. When I read the scripture, I'm
seeking the Lord. I want to know more about Him.
This book is all about Him. I seek the Lord in His Word.
I seek the Lord by prayer. When I cry unto the Lord, Lord
have mercy upon me, the sinner. And we seek the Lord by faith.
For the just shall live by faith. As it says over here in verse
17, the righteous cry, and the Lord heareth and delivereth them. out of all their troubles. You're
in trouble? Don't call me. I'm in trouble
too. Call upon the Lord. Call upon
the Lord. The righteous cry, and the Lord
heareth and delivereth them. I sought the Lord by prayer,
in the word, and by faith. Turn over here to Psalm 30 verse
2. Psalm 30 verse 2. They're having
a good time in there tonight, aren't they? O LORD my God, I cried unto thee,
and thou hast healed me. O Lord, thou hast brought up
my soul from the grave, thou hast kept me alive, that I should
not go down to the pit. I cried unto the Lord, and thou
hast healed me. Oh, I tell you, I'm going to
cry unto the Lord. Turn over to Psalm 145, look
at verse 18. Psalm 145, verse 18. Psalm 145 verse 18. Calling upon the name of the
Lord and crying unto Him. Now look at this promise here.
Psalm 145 verse 18. The Lord is nigh unto all that
call upon Him. To all that call upon Him in
truth. In Christ. In the Lord Jesus
Christ. Call upon Him. And David said
here in the text, he heard me and delivered me from all my
fears. Now here's another psalm, he
redeemed me. Psalm 130, turn there. Psalm
130. Psalm 130. I cried unto the Lord
and he heard me and he delivered me. Out of the depths, Psalm
130, out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Lord. Lord, hear
my voice. Let thine ears be attended to
the voice of my supplication. If thou, Lord, shouldest mark
iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand but there is forgiveness
with thee? that thou mayest be feared I
wait for the Lord my soul does wait in his word do I hope for
with the Lord there is mercy verse 7 and with him is plenteous
redemption call upon the Lord call upon the Lord now look back
to the text again they looked unto him now who's he talking
about here they looked unto him and were helped. They looked
unto him and were lightened. Their faces were not ashamed
to look unto the Lord. They looked." Now, who is he
referring to here? Well, I'll tell you what I think,
and others as well have made this comment. talking here about
those who preceded David. Believers like Abraham, Noah,
Moses, others. They looked unto him and were
helped. They looked unto him and were
blessed. David's case was not peculiar. Others have looked to the Lord
in time of trouble and were delivered. Others have and others will. Why don't you look? Look unto
the Lord. You know, look is such a Look,
simple word. Simple word. Two letters are
just the same. L-O-O-K. Look. Is that four letters? Look. Look unto Him. Our God said,
Look unto Me and be ye saved. All the ends of the earth. I
am God. They looked. You see what it
says there? They looked unto Him. They were helped. Oh God give
us grace to look to Him. Look to Him. Enoch walked with
God and was not ashamed. And one day he walked right in
the glory. Abel was not ashamed. Brought that blood sacrifice
unto the Lord. God testifying that he was a
righteous man. That is, righteous in Christ
by that blood sacrifice. Noah found grace in the eyes
of the Lord. He was a preacher of righteousness.
He was not ashamed. 120 years. One message. In the
ark. Salvation. In the ark. Get in
the ark. All those who did were saved
from the flood. Noah looked. Enoch looked. Abel looked. Why don't you look? Why don't I look to the Lord?
They looked. Oh, God give us grace to look
to Him. Abraham looked. Abraham, our Lord said, Abraham
rejoiced to see my day. He saw it and was glad. Moses
looked. Moses wrote of me, our Lord said.
You could go on and on and on, couldn't you? Job looked. Isaiah
looked. They all looked to the Lord for
salvation and were helped in their time of need. Paul looked. He said, I'm not ashamed of the
gospel of Christ. They looked. Paul looked. Others
have looked and were enlightened. They were enlightened by the
look of faith, looking to Christ, and they were not ashamed. They
were not ashamed. Even so much so that those old
timers who were burned to the stake, all they had to do was
just recant. All they had to do was just deny
the gospel and the fires would have been extinguished. But no,
as one Dear believer said, I didn't come here this day. They begged
the person to recant with their children standing there, her
husband. Just recant and you can go home
with your family. And she was heard to say, I didn't
come here this day to deny my Lord. I want that kind of look,
don't you? Looking to Him. They looked.
They looked. And they were blessed. Their
faces were not ashamed. Paul said in that scripture that
I love to quote so much, God who saved us and called us with
a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to
God's own purpose and grace. And then he says down in verse
12, when he talks about Emathy, don't be ashamed of the gospel
for it's God who saved us. Don't be ashamed of God's truth.
Don't be ashamed of God's Word. Paul said, I know whom I have
believed and I'm persuaded that all that He has given to me all that I've committed unto
him, for the which cause I suffer these things. Nevertheless, I'm
not ashamed, for 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." We're not ashamed. Not ashamed. Paul, why
aren't you ashamed? I've looked! And you know what
this is, really? For us, as believers, it's looking. It's looking. We have, we are,
and we will. And one day we'll see Him with
perfect sight, face to face, in all His glory. They looked
unto Him, and their faces were not ashamed. This poor man cried,
this poor man cried, and the Lord heard him and saved him
out of all their troubles. I am poor and needy, David says
often, I am poor and needy, yet the Lord thinketh upon me. Turn
over here just a few pages to Psalm 40 verse 7. Psalm 40 verse
7. I am poor and needy, yet the
Lord thinketh upon me. Thou art my help, my deliverer,
make no caring, O my God. This poor man cried, and the
Lord heard him and saved him. This poor sinner cried, this
poor sinner cried, and the Lord heard me and saved me from all
my sin. Every believer has the same,
this same experience in their heart. They cry unto the Lord
and He shows mercy to those who call upon Him. Now, the Word
declares, whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall
be saved. I'm not one that has a problem
with that word whosoever. John 3.16, whosoever believeth
on the Lord Jesus Christ shall be saved. Whosoever does what? Believes Him, whoever it is. That's a man who's been an object
of God's mercy, a man who has been saved by His sovereign grace.
That's the whosoever believeth, whosoever calleth, we call upon
Him because He called upon us. That, whosoever, is a glorious
word. It includes this sinner. It includes all those who believe
and call upon Him. He's able to save to the uttermost
all that come to God by Him, seeing He ever lives to make
intercession for us. Now, you correct me if I'm wrong. I've never read in Scripture
I've never read one example in scripture where God in Christ
has turned away a genuine, sincere mercy beggar. Every elect sinner
that the Lord Jesus Christ, when he crossed the path of that elect
sinner, he saved them. Everyone. He's never turned a
mercy beggar away. I've never read of it. Never. One time. The Lord had some harsh
words to those old self-righteous Pharisees, but everyone that
came to Him, taking their place before the as a sinner before
his sovereign throne, begging for mercy like the publican,
God have mercy on me the sinner. The Lord had mercy on that sinner
and intended to from all eternity and just in time crossed their
path and demonstrated that mercy and they experienced that in
their heart. Well, I've got too much here.
The angel of the Lord, verse 7, encampeth round about them
that fear him, and delivereth them. Oh, my friend, taste and
see that the Lord is good. Taste and see that the Lord is
good. You will only know this really
and personally by experience, but we really don't believe anything
until we've experienced it in our heart. Now the example that's
given here is a beautiful table set with delicious food. You
can hear of others talk about how good the food tastes, but
until you partake of it yourself, you really won't know and experience
that grace of God in your heart. Even so, you can hear others
talk about how good the Lord is, but until you taste and see
that the Lord is gracious yourself, that He is merciful, You won't
have that experience of grace in your heart. So taste and see.
Look! Look! Taste! The angel of the
Lord camps around about them that fear him. There's a lot
right there in that verse, and I intended to show you some things
from that verse, but my time is gone. I don't want to wear
your patience thin. Oh, taste and see that the Lord
is good. Blessed is the man that trusteth Him. Oh, fear the Lord. He is saints. ye his saints."
Every believer is a saint. Every believer is a saint in
Christ. But there is no want. There is no want to them that
fear the Lord. There is no want. You see, the
Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want. I shall not
want. My God shall supply all your
need according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus.
Oh, fear the Lord." What does that mean? I'll tell you what
it means. It means to believe Him. Those who believe him fear
the Lord. Ye his saints sanctified in Christ
for there's no want to them that fear him. In the Lord Jesus Christ
was all the fullness of the Godhead bodily and we're complete, complete,
complete in Christ. Completely justified, completely
sanctified, completely made righteous in Christ, accepted in the Beloved
in Him.
