My Hour Has Come

Q: What does the Bible say about the glorification of Jesus?

The Bible states that the hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified, highlighting His role in redemption through His death and resurrection. In John 12:23, Jesus declares that the hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. This crucial moment in scripture signifies the onset of His redemptive work. His glorification is not merely through earthly acclaim but through the ultimate sacrifice of His life. As Romans 5:8 reveals, Christ died for us while we were still sinners, illustrating that His glory comes through redemption and reconciliation with God. By fulfilling the law and enduring the cross, He accomplished the will of the Father and earned a glory that transcends earthly recognition.

Q: How do we know the doctrine of the substitutionary atonement is true?

The doctrine is affirmed through Jesus' teachings about His impending death as necessary for life's fulfillment, evidenced in John 12:24. The principle of substitutionary atonement is encapsulated in John 12:24, where Jesus compares Himself to a grain of wheat that must fall to the ground and die to produce much fruit. This metaphor signifies that for life and redemption to be realized, Jesus must first undergo death. Furthermore, Hebrews 1:3 asserts that after He provided purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven, confirming the efficacy of His sacrifice. This reflects the profound theological truth that our salvation hinges on Christ's death, a vital aspect of sovereign grace doctrine.

Q: Why is following Christ important for Christians?

Following Christ is essential as it signifies commitment, obedience, and a shared future with Him. In John 12:26, Jesus states, 'If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be.' This verse underscores the significance of discipleship and the call to follow Christ closely. Obedience to His teachings and example leads to eternal life and honor from the Father. The act of following is not merely physical; it is a spiritual commitment that signifies identification with Christ and His mission. As believers, our relationship with Him shapes our identity and purpose in this world, aligning us with God's will and promise of eternal life.

Q: What does it mean to love one's life in the context of John 12:25?

To love one's life means to prioritize worldly pursuits, while hating it implies surrendering all for Christ and gaining eternal life. John 12:25 presents a challenging truth: 'He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.' Loving one's life in a worldly sense leads to spiritual loss, as it focuses on temporal satisfaction over spiritual fulfillment. Hating one's life, in this context, means to forsake worldly ambitions for the sake of serving Christ and His kingdom. This act of surrender aligns with the Reformed view of total depravity, where true life is found only through self-denial and faith in Jesus. By losing our life for Christ's sake, we find the true essence of life—a relationship with God and assurance of eternal life.

Now something very serious, very
important, very vital is going on here. Our Lord never wasted
words. And you and I are accountable
for His words. We're accountable for the words
that we've heard and the words we could have heard, should have
heard. It says in verse 20, there were
certain Greeks Greeks, Gentiles among them that came up to worship
at the feast. The same came, therefore, to
Philip, which was a Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him,
saying, Sirs, we would see Jesus. Well, why didn't they go see
him? Everybody else was thronging
him. And Philip went and told Andrew, what did he do that for?
And Andrew and Philip told Jesus. And the Lord Jesus seemingly
didn't even answer them. They were talking about the Greeks
who wanted to see Him. And He said, the hour has come
that the Son of Man should be glorified. Seems like He's not even on the
same subject. Anybody want to come up here
and tell me what this means? See, that's why God gave us preachers. That's why God gave the church
pastors and teachers. Because all of us need to know
what this means. This is our Master talking. And He said,
except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it bideth
alone, but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. Greeks, Gentiles,
Wanting to see Jesus, disciples arguing about it, and Christ
talks about planting wheat. And then He says to us, he that
loves his life will lose it. He that hateth his life in this
world will keep it unto life eternal. Any man serve me, let
him follow me, and where I am, my servant will be. Any man serve
me, him will my father honor." You see, it was the time of the
Passover in Jerusalem. It was a feast day. It was a
very important time. God gave them the Passover way
back yonder. Way back yonder, 2,000 years
before this. They kept it every year. It was the Lord's Passover and
it degenerated into the Jewish Passover. But they kept it, and
Jews came from everywhere, everywhere, to worship and keep the Passover.
And among these Jews that came from all the different countries
to Jerusalem to keep the Passover were some Gentile people. They
were called proselytes. You'll find that Bible, that
word frequently in the Word of God, proselytes. This Ethiopian
eunuch was one, you remember? He came from Ethiopia to Jerusalem
to worship. You see these people and these
Greeks here, it says in verse 20, certain Greeks among them
that came up to worship at the feast, they weren't Jews, they
were Greeks, they were uncircumcised Gentiles. They were Greeks. And they had, for some reason,
turned from their idols. Cornelius was one, Ethiopian
eunuch. These men had turned from their
idol gods and they were seeking. They were seeking a knowledge
of the living God. They were seeking a knowledge
of Jehovah. And they were allowed to come
to the temple as far as the court of the Gentiles, as far as they
could come. the court of the Gentiles. They
were not Jews, they were not incorporated or included, but
they came seeking, they came searching, they came thirsting,
and most of them, like the unit, went away empty because there
was nothing there. The Jews had their circumcision
and Sabbaths, and they had their farm and tradition, they had
their ceremony, but they didn't have the life, they didn't have
the Lord. And so these men came to Philip,
verse 21, they came therefore to Philip. Why'd they come to
Philip? Well, it says he was of Bethsaida. Perhaps they were
from Bethsaida. Maybe. Perhaps they were neighbors
of Philip. Perhaps they knew Philip. But
they singled out Philip. And they came to him. And they
had this request. They said, we would see Jesus.
They'd heard of Jesus. I don't know what they had heard
of him or about him, but they'd heard something of his miracles,
because many people followed him because of the miracles.
Perhaps they'd heard of the loaves and fishes. Perhaps they'd heard
of his great words, his captivating words. Somebody said, no man
ever spake like this man. But one thing's for sure, they'd
heard about Lazarus. Everybody there at Jerusalem
at this particular time had heard about Lazarus. Christ had just
raised him a few days ago from the dead. And it says here in verse 17,
the people therefore that were with him, when he called Lazarus out of
the grave and raised him from the dead, bear record, For this
cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had
done this miracle. And the Pharisees therefore said
among themselves, Perceive ye how you prevail nothing, the
whole world is gone after him. And there were certain Greeks
among them." Alright? They had heard it was
a man dead for four days and this Jesus raised him up and
they wanted to see him. They wanted to see him. They
wanted to be introduced to him. They wanted to be in his company.
And they came to Philip. What did they do that for? Well,
being Gentiles, they were reluctant to approach him. He had been
proclaimed back here in verse 13, the king of the Jews. He
was a Jew. And he came. He said to the Canaanite
woman, I'm not sent but to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
So they were reluctant to approach him. So they took their request
to Philip, and they said to Philip, we would like to see Jesus. We
would like to be introduced to Jesus. We want to be in His company.
We want to hear Him. We want to face Him. We may have
some things to ask Him, possibility. Well, it says here in the next
verse, verse 21, then came verse 22, that Philip cometh and telleth
Andrew. Philip went over to Andrew and
talked the matter over with him. And then they both, it says,
and then Andrew and Philip both took the request to Jesus. Why
did this request present such a problem to Philip? Why did it present such a problem
to Philip? Well, I'll tell you why. Things
in Jerusalem were in a terrible turmoil at this time regarding
Jesus Christ. Jesus who is called the Christ.
Things were in a turmoil. The Jews had already talked about
killing Lazarus. Look back here at verse 10, same
verse 10. It says here, But the chief priests
consulted that they might put Lazarus to death, because that
by reason of him many of the Jews went away and believed on
Jesus. You see, you just don't raise a man from the grave without
creating some kind of turmoil and tumult. some trouble. And they talked about killing,
they talked about assassinating Lazarus. And this was all, and
Philip knew this, Andrew knew this. And then in verse 13, the
people, the crowd had proclaimed him king of Israel. He had ridden
into town on that donkey and they took branches, verse 13,
of palm trees, went forth to meet him, crying, Hosanna, blessed
is the king of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord. Boy,
that stirred the Pharisees and the chief priests up. People
around throwing their coats on the street and palm leaves and
proclaiming Jesus Christ to be King. And that's what I read
a moment ago, verse 19, The Pharisees therefore said among themselves,
Perceive ye how you prevail nothing? The whole world's gone after
this man. We're going to have to do something about this man.
So this was going through Philip's mind. This was too much for him,
all that was going on. And this was going through his
mind. He thought, now, if Jesus receives these Gentiles, if these
Gentiles, these Greeks, come into his presence, and he sits
down and visits with them, this is just going to cause more trouble.
The wrath of the Pharisees, and as well as the people, are going
to fall on him. This will be the last straw,
all this Lazarus and all this proclaiming him king and all
this stirring up the Pharisees, and if he sits down and talks
to these Gentiles, that's going to be it. They're going to put
him to death. So, he and really the disciples. The disciples didn't understand
very much about redemption, about Christ's purpose for coming.
Let me show you something. You just hold that verse right
there and turn to Acts chapter 1. Acts chapter 1. You see, these disciples, they
wanted a Jewish kingdom. That's what they wanted. They
wanted one here and now on this earth, a materialistic kingdom. In Acts chapter 1 verse 6. And
this is after Christ died, after our Lord arose, after our Lord
appeared to them, before he ascended to heaven, verse 6 of Acts 1,
when they therefore were come together, they asked of him,
saying, Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel? Are we going to establish the
kingdom now? Is it time for the kingdom? See, that's the way
they were thinking, and Philip had this in mind. I think he
voiced his fears to Christ. Judging from the reply that our
Lord gave here back in John 12, turning back, judging from the
Lord's reply, I believe Philip might have said something like
this to the master, Lord? They always called him Lord.
And when they said, when they refer here to Jesus, Jesus, we
would say Jesus, this sort of thing, His name of humanity,
humiliation. But when the disciples spake
of Him and addressed Him, they called Him Lord. And they may
have said, Lord, there's some Gentile Greeks out there asking
to see You. We did not think it wise at this
time. They asked me, Philip said, and
I went over and talked to them with Andrew. And Andrew and I
both, we believe at this time It wouldn't be wise to bring
them to you because the Pharisees and the chief priests are talking
about killing Lazarus now. You know that, don't you? They're
talking about killing Lazarus. And they're talking about killing
you. And they're upset because the people proclaimed you to
be the king of the Jews. And if you gather with these
Gentiles, this is going to be the last straw. If you gather
with these Gentiles, if they see these Gentiles about you,
they're surely going to kill you. That's what I believe went on
there. Because these disciples, I wonder how much we understand.
These disciples just did not understand the gospel of redemption. They did not understand the Savior's
mission into this world. They didn't understand their
role either as disciples of Christ. They did not understand. They
wanted Jesus Christ to live, not die. They tried to keep Him
going to Jerusalem. They wanted Jesus Christ to remain
with them. They didn't want him to leave
them. He said, let not your heart be troubled. I just told you
I was going to leave and now you're depressed. They didn't
want him to leave. They wanted the Jews to accept
him, not reject him, not hate him, not despise him. They wanted
a kingdom, a kingdom here and now on this earth, not later,
right now. One wanted to sit on his right
hand and one on his left hand in the kingdom. They wanted prosperity. They didn't want persecution,
trouble. They wanted a king, not a lamb. Now, listen to what our Lord
said. These two disciples came to Him. These Gentiles were seated. And
our Lord, listen to this. Our Lord said, He answered them. He answered them. And our Lord answers not always
the words of our mouth as the thoughts of our heads. Nicodemus
came to him, remember? We know your teacher come from
God. No man could do these miracles except God be with him. And Christ
never replied to that remark. He said, you must be born again.
What was the answer in the man's words? No, he's answering the
man's need. The man's real problem, that basic problem behind his
word. We don't always say what what
our real problem is. And our Lord answered them and
said, the hour has come. The hour has come. How many times
do we meet with this statement in the Word of God? How many
times? You see, these disciples came
up here inquiring about the Greeks, and the Lord Jesus doesn't deal
with the Greeks at all. He doesn't even mention the Greeks.
that he declares the only way that any man, Jew or Gentile,
may approach Christ or seek Christ or have any part in Christ is
here. The hour has come. The hour has come. How many times
have we run into that statement? One time at a wedding in Cana
of Galilee, the mary came to him and she said, they're out
of wine. And the Lord Jesus looked at
her and he said, What have I to do with thee? Thine hour is not
yet come. And then in John 7, when they
sought to take him, their anger was so strong against him that
they would take him and kill him, but no man laid hands on
him. The scripture said his hour was not yet come. And then in
John 8, 20, it says again, no man laid hands on him because
his hour was not yet come. And look at John 13. John 13, verse 1. Now, before
the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was
come. The hour has come. And then John
17. Turn over there a moment. John
17, verse 1. These words spake Jesus and lifted
his eyes to heaven and said, The Father, the hour is come.
The hour is come. All right, here stands Philip
and Andrew, and our Lord answered them and said, the hour has come.
The hour has come. The hour for which all this Old
Testament was written. The hour from the Garden of Eden
when God talked about the seed of woman. The hour has come. That moment in history, that
hour, that ultimate hour, it's come. For what? That the Son
of Man should be glorified. That the Son of Man should be
glorified. Well, he had glory as God. Jesus Christ is God. He thought
it not robbery to be equal with God. He said, glorify me with
the glory which I had with thee before the world was. Jesus Christ,
Son of God, has the ultimate eternal glory. There's no glory
to be added to him. But the time has come, watch
this, for the Son of Man to be glorified. The Son of Man. Over
here in verse 34, the people answered him and said, We've
heard out of the law that Christ abides forever. How sayest thou
the Son of Man be lifted or must be lifted up? Who is the Son
of Man? Here's the whole key to the gospel,
to the word of God, to our redemption, the Son of Man. Now is the hour.
The hour has come that the Son of Man, the Son of Man should
be glorified. Not the Son of God. Not God Himself. The Son of Man. Who is this Son
of Man? Well, turn to Hebrews 1. Hebrews
chapter 1. Hebrews chapter 1. Listen to
this. Hebrews 1, this son of man, born of a woman, flesh and
bones and blood, who walked this earth, now is the hour for the
son of man to be glorified, to be exalted, magnified, lifted
up, glorified. Hebrews 1 verse 1, God who at
sundry times and in diverse matters spake in times past unto the
fathers by the prophets, in these last days, spoken to us by his
Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom he made
the world. He has all glory there, who bring
the brightness of his glory, the express image of his person,
who upholdeth all things by the word of his power. When he had
by himself alone, without any aid or help, purged our sins,
that's when He sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on
high. There's the glorification of the Son of Man. He's glorified
at God's right hand, the Man Christ Jesus, the Redeemer. He's the representative man.
He's the man in which all redeemed men live and are glorified. Now is the hour for the Son of
Man, the Son of Man to be glorified. You see that? But to be glorified,
our Lord has to obey the law, satisfy the law, satisfy and
honor the justice of God, do all that He came to do as a man,
as a servant, be buried, crucified, buried, rise again, and ascend
to the right hand of God. And that's our redemption. The
son of man is glorified. God has always been glorified.
God is glory. He is the essence of glory. And
you and I are the essence of corruption and sin and decay
and depravity. But this son of man, our redeemer,
our representative, fulfilled everything God required and he's
going to be glorified. Now watch this next verse. Daily
I say unto you, except a corn of wheat fall into the ground
and die, it abideth alone. But if it die, it'll bring forth
much fruit. He's still talking about his
death now. Now's the hour for me to be glorified. And he talks
about a corn of wheat. A corn of wheat. Now watch this. A grain of corn, a grain of wheat. about to be planted. The grain
of wheat has much potential. It has other wheat in it. Does
it not? In it. Has much wheat in it. But that little grain of wheat
will never realize its potential, its possibilities, or give life
or birth to other wheat that is in it, which is in it, unless
it dies in the ground. And if it does die in the ground
and germinate, if it's planted, then it'll bring forth much wheat,
just like itself. Huh? See what Christ just said? You see, these disciples are
taken up with a kingdom. They're taken up with troubles,
Pharisees, tradition, religion. That's what most people in Ashton
are taken up with. Health and wealth and prosperity
and all this junk. some kind of earthly kingdom
and the dome of the rock and the temple and all that junk,
you know. And they came and said, now we
thought it wise you not see these fellows because that's going
to just mess everything up. And he said, the hour has come that this whole thing is about,
that this Son of Man, not your Jewish kingdom, the Son of Man,
the representative man, the man, Christ Jesus, be ultimately,
eternally glorified. Because a grain of wheat, unless
it dies, it'll abide alone. But if it dies, it'll bring forth
much fruit. And this Son of Man, now watch this, our Lord Jesus,
I told you that corn of wheat has much potential. It has wheat
in it. And that one grain, yup, that
one grain has thousands of grains in it. And our Lord Jesus, this
Son of Man, now stay with me, this Son of Man, who thought
it not right to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation,
took on the form of a servant, was born of a woman in the flesh.
He has a whole lot of people in Him. He has a whole kingdom
in Him. He has a covenant nation in Him.
That's right. The Father, before the foundation
of the world, made Him the surety, the representative, and gave
Him a people. He said, My Father gave them
to Me. And they're in Him. They're all in Him. Chosen in
Christ before the foundation of the world, loved in Christ,
accepted in Christ. He said, I pray not for the world,
I pray for them which thou hast given me. Thou hast given me
authority, power over all flesh, that I should give eternal life
to as many as you've given me. Our Lord, like that grain of
wheat, has a multitude out of every nation, tribe, kindred,
tongue unto heaven in Him. But if He does not die, if He
is not crucified, if He is not buried, then they'll never live. If the grain of wheat abides
alone, take it and lay it there and leave it, no wheat. But take
it and put it in the ground, let it die and germinate, and
one stalk comes up with thousands, much fruit. And Jesus Christ
has in Him, by the will of God, by the purpose of God, a people.
I was in Him, you were in Him, you who believe. But to give
life to us, He's got to die. We live because He died. We have
righteousness because He obeyed. He had to do the work. The grain
of wheat's got to do the work. It came about alone. It's got
to do the work. It's got to do what it was intended
to do, what it was purposed to do, what God sent it to do. And
Christ has got to do what God sent Him to do. That's what He's
saying to these poor disciples. You just missed it. You've played
your games and you've looked for your credits and rewards
and merit. The language of religion is merit. The language of God is mercy.
And you've been wrapped up in this and toiling for this and
you're not going to have anything. This grain of wheat's got to
die, die, die. Our Lord's got to die. And I'll
tell you this, when He dies and is buried and rose again, when
He rises from the tomb, He'll give life. And everybody to whom
he gives life will be just like him. That grain of wheat, when you
plant it, it'll give life. It's got thousands of wheat grains
in it. I guarantee you every one of
them will look just like the one you planted. Every one of them.
You won't find any barley or corn. It'll be wheat. And when my Lord died and was
buried and rose again, He gave life. He was the first born of
every creature. He's the first begotten from
the dead. He's the first to arise, and He gives life. And we are
sons of God, and when we see Him, we're going to be what?
Like Him. God's predestinated every one of His children to
be like His Son. That's what He's saying there. Did you know
that? That's exactly what He's saying.
There's not a scintilla of a doubt that's what He's saying. That's
what he said. That's redemption. Redemption
is not in rules and regulations and laws. Somebody said, well,
I'm going to accept the Jewish religion. Well, you go ahead
and do that. Well, I think the Catholics have more antiquity
and tradition. Just go ahead. Who cares? Well,
I'm going to join the Southern Baptists. They're the biggest
denomination in the world. Well, help yourself. I want to
become acquainted with the Son of Man. The Son of Man. I want to know who He is, why
He came, and what He did. Where He is now. Don't you? And
I want to be in Him. When He died, I want to be there.
And when he's buried, I want to be buried in him. When he
came forth, I want to come forth as a much fruit from him, of
his bowels, of his bone and flesh, of his body, of himself, of his
heart, out of his loins, born of God. That's what I want. And then he says to them, verse
26, all right, verse 25, He that loveth his life will lose it.
And he that hated his life in this world will keep it to life
eternal. You know who he's talking to here, don't you? He's talking
to these disciples and to us. Now, he's not talking about himself
there. He's talking about these disciples. He's talking about
you and me. You see, you go back to the wheat. Back to the wheat. The farmer has the wheat, and
he has it in a sack. He has a sack of wheat. He's
saved for planting. He has the whole sack. There's
his sack of wheat and he looks at the sky and he looks at the
almanac and he looks at the weather and he doesn't know whether he's
going to have a drought or not. Shall I keep my wheat? I can
keep my wheat and I can go down and have it ground. I can hold
to it and have it ground. At least I can have one loaf
of bread. But if I plant it, if I plant it, it's going to
be gone. Shall I keep it or shall I plant it? If he does keep it,
he's going to lose it finally. Isn't he? That's what Christ
said. He's going to lose it finally. But if he in faith, faith in
God, faith in the Word of God, faith in a future harvest, if
he planks it, there's a good possibility he'll have a whole
lot of weight. Well, I have a life. Here it
is. It ain't much, but here it is. It's now. I've got a mind and
a heart and a body, what shall I do with it? Love it, shield
it, protect it, keep it, hoard it, shield it from all difficulties,
no any problems, just live and let live. I just go along with it, let
everybody be everybody, whatever everybody wants to be. I'm not
going to put myself on the line. Shall I do that or shall I cast
my life, my hope, my future in Christ and the gospel? Trust his promise, looking for
a new life. Shall I cast it? Commit it? Surrender it? Submit it to this
gospel? Shall I hold it? Well, if I hold
it, I'm going to lose it eventually anyway. If I hoard it, if I keep it,
if I defend it, if I don't stand up here and preach this gospel,
if I just live and let live and go my way and go drown a worm
and fish and just don't bother anybody and get along, if I do
that, I'm going to lose it eventually anyway. But if I die to this
world, if I say, well, whatever it costs, I'm going to walk with
Christ, whatever it costs, I'm going to preach the gospel, whatever
it costs, I'm going to believe God, whatever it costs. I'm going
to be identified with the heated gospel and the disciples of the
Son of God. I believe God. But I'll lose
it because they don't know how to work you over. I'll lose it here, but I gained
eternal life. Because there's a harvest. He
that loveth his life and cherishes his life is going to lose it.
But he that hateth his life can part with it in this world. For
my sake, Christ said, he'll keep it unto life eternal. Is that
what he's saying? That's what he's saying, Mike.
That's what he's saying. Well, I know what I've done. The question belongs to everybody
here this morning. There's no neutral ground. You've got to plant it. There's
no neutral ground. You talk about, well, God wants me to have me. Well, there's no neutral ground. There's a planting. There's a
committal to Christ. There's a surrender. That's right. Alright, verse 26, and I'll close.
He said, If any man serve me, Serve me. Now, it's not that
he needs anything from us. This is desires to be his servant. If any man serves me. You see,
this is a servant of Christ. You follow what he's saying here?
It's not like the religious world talks about, the Lord I serve.
I serve. Talking about, you know, you're
doing something for God. This is my servant who moves
at my command. The man who serves me is my bond
slave. Also, I'm a bond slave of Jesus
Christ. I'm waiting his will. I'm waiting his word. I move
at his command. That's what I am. If any man's
that, if he's that. And this is not talking to preachers
and teachers only and those in the pulpit. He's talking about
believers. If any man serves me, let him what? Let him follow
me. Follow me, follow me fully, follow me all the days of his
life. Follow me like Caelum, who followed the Lord full and
continued. Let him follow me, not the world, follow me. Not
the false preachers and shepherds, follow me. Let him serve me,
let him follow me. I love this statement here, and
where I am, that's where he'll be. Where I am. Where is Christ? Well, he's among
his disciples. That's where he is. He's among
his disciples. They were always with him. He
wasn't ashamed to call them brothers. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. And then he was a friend of sinners. Yes, he was. A friend of sinners. Where I am, there my servant
will be. He'll be with other servants, and he'll be the friend
of sinners. And where is Christ? He's hated by the religious world.
Oh, well, they hated him. They hated him. And where he
is, that's where his servants are. Where is he? Well, he's
in the Father's love, and that's where we'll be. Where is he? He's on the Father's right hand,
and that's where we'll be. If any man serve me, let him
follow me. And where I am? Thank God, that's a promise.
That's where He'll be. That's where He'll be by choice,
and that's where He'll be by grace. And listen to this, and if any
man serve me, my Father, Him, my Father will honor. He's going
to honor my servants. He's going to honor them. Somebody
wrote a hymn one time, And that's what that's saying, that's what
that scripture means. Somebody wrote a hymn one time,
Take the World. I think we'll sing that, it's
in our hymn book. It's take the world, but give
