SPEAKER_00: Jesus, it is uh hard to believe that you would subject yourself to all of this uh willingly because you love us and because you longed for us uh to be uh to be with you so much uh that you were willing to do whatever it took.
SPEAKER_00: And so we come this evening wanting to be uh captured, wanting to be uh drawn uh to this uh incredible sacrifice, this incredible display of love and mercy that you have shown us.
SPEAKER_00: We know that we can't appreciate uh the good news until we first uh understand how bad the bad news really is, and so we pray that you would give us a real uh sense of our sin as well this evening.
SPEAKER_00: That we would see that we had uh we had no hope apart from you.
SPEAKER_00: And yet you came and knew just what we needed and provided it.
SPEAKER_00: And so we pray that you would use our time this evening uh to help us understand that and believe that more uh and more.
SPEAKER_00: We are uh we are unworthy, we are undeserving, we are grateful and humbled to know that we belong to you because of what you have done for us.
SPEAKER_00: So thank you for your word, uh, thank you uh for your spirit.
SPEAKER_00: I pray that you would use them this evening for your glory and for our good.
SPEAKER_00: In Jesus' name we pray.
SPEAKER_00: Amen.
SPEAKER_00: Jesus in my place.
SPEAKER_00: It's one of the, maybe one of the simplest ways we can think about uh defining the gospel.
SPEAKER_00: Jesus in my place.
SPEAKER_00: When we think about the meaning of this week, the meaning of Good Friday, it's ultimately about what Jesus did, and that he did it for us.
SPEAKER_00: His life, his death, his resurrection.
SPEAKER_00: It really is our only comfort in life and death.
SPEAKER_00: There's a sermon clip that keeps uh popping up on my uh on my feed.
SPEAKER_00: It kind of does every year around this time, and it's a it's a sermon clip from uh Alistair Begg, who's a um uh pastor in Ohio for a long time.
SPEAKER_00: And uh he's talking about, you know, maybe you've heard this question before.
SPEAKER_00: Uh you know, the the question, uh if you got to heaven and they asked you, you know, why should I let you in, uh, how would you respond?
SPEAKER_00: And uh he says, uh, if your answer is in the first person, all right, you're starting in the wrong place.
SPEAKER_00: He says, if you say, well, it's because I did this, or because I believed this, or because I uh have you know have been a good person, whatever it might be, if you start with the word I, then you've then you've missed the whole point.
SPEAKER_00: The answer to that question is always in the third person.
SPEAKER_00: It's because of Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: It's because of what he has done for us, it's because of what he had uh did on the cross and suffering and dying in my place.
SPEAKER_00: He lived for me, he died for me, he was raised for me, and he's given me faith to believe.
SPEAKER_00: Jesus in my place.
SPEAKER_00: This is the hope that we have, and this is what we think about and what we remember on Good Friday, that everything that Jesus went through in suffering uh we deserved, and yet he took it uh on himself in our place.
SPEAKER_00: Tonight we're gonna look at one verse.
SPEAKER_00: Uh, and uh and this verse illustrates uh this idea of Jesus uh in my place really uh really well.
SPEAKER_00: And we're just gonna look at a couple of things that this verse helps us see.
SPEAKER_00: It's uh 2 Corinthians 5, 21.
SPEAKER_00: And this is what Paul says For our sake, he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
SPEAKER_00: For our sake, he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
SPEAKER_00: This is it.
SPEAKER_00: Jesus in our place.
SPEAKER_00: So there's a couple things we're gonna look at.
SPEAKER_00: First, our need for him.
SPEAKER_00: It's where we have to, it's where we have to start.
SPEAKER_00: The reality that uh that we desperately needed him to come or uh or or we would be without hope because there was nothing we could do on our own.
SPEAKER_00: And so the verse starts, for our sake.
SPEAKER_00: This gets to the heart of what uh why we call it Good Friday.
SPEAKER_00: We said before, on the surface, we've heard we've heard songs, we've heard scriptures, we've recited things about how awful Jesus' suffering was.
SPEAKER_00: Physical pain, relational abandonment, God's wrath.
SPEAKER_00: We'll talk about these things more in a minute, but but it's not the description of a good day.
SPEAKER_00: And yet we call it Good Friday because he went through all of those things for us, for our sake.
SPEAKER_00: Our salvation starts with the understanding that we're in trouble.
SPEAKER_00: We read from the Jesus Storybook Bible earlier about Adam and Eve in the garden.
SPEAKER_00: They rebelled against God, they they believed the lie of uh of the serpent over the truth of what God had told them.
SPEAKER_00: They did what they wanted to do instead of what he wanted them to do, what God wanted them to do.
SPEAKER_00: Uh, and uh and everything fell apart.
SPEAKER_00: Sin broke their relationship with God, it broke it broke the world around them, and it broke God's heart that his creation uh would turn from him.
SPEAKER_00: Now, do you remember what happened uh when God kicked them out of the garden?
SPEAKER_00: And do you remember what he did to make sure they didn't come back to the garden?
SPEAKER_00: Uh he put it he put an angel, right, with a s with a sword at the uh at the gate.
SPEAKER_00: Um it was this it was this visual reminder of their separation from God.
SPEAKER_00: In the garden, they had they had walked with God, they had they had talked with him, they had a relationship with him.
SPEAKER_00: Apart uh from him, after sin.
SPEAKER_00: Uh there's a flaming sword keeping them, uh keeping them from him.
SPEAKER_00: Sin turned them from friends of God to enemies of God.
SPEAKER_00: And that sin's been passed down from generation to generation, so that when we're born, we're not born neutral.
SPEAKER_00: We're born with hearts that rebel against God, too.
SPEAKER_00: It's this inheritance that we have from uh from Adam and Eve.
SPEAKER_00: This nature that's been passed down generation after generation after after generation.
SPEAKER_00: Uh it's kind of like if you think about the Olympics, uh, you know, an individual athlete wins a gold medal, but when they show the counts of medals, uh, who does it get credited to?
SPEAKER_00: Their country, right?
SPEAKER_00: Uh the you know, the United States has this many, uh, this many golds.
SPEAKER_00: Uh you know, China has this many uh golds.
SPEAKER_00: And so the individual uh is a representative for uh for their country, and their country gets credited with what they have done.
SPEAKER_00: This is what it's like for uh for us.
SPEAKER_00: Adam was our representative in the garden.
SPEAKER_00: Because he sinned, uh, he passed his sin on to us.
SPEAKER_00: And so our need for God is not just because we've done some things wrong.
SPEAKER_00: We we have, right?
SPEAKER_00: Uh if we're if we're honest, we can think about uh the ugliness of our own hearts and the and the thoughts and the things that we've said and the things that we've done over the course of our lives.
SPEAKER_00: And yet our need is even bigger than that.
SPEAKER_00: Because our rebellion against God is in our very nature.
SPEAKER_00: We sense this separation from God and and we see it throughout the Bible.
SPEAKER_00: We sense it every time we feel guilt and we think, there's nothing that can cover over this guilt.
SPEAKER_00: How can I get rid of it?
SPEAKER_00: It feels what I've done is so terrible.
SPEAKER_00: I I can't stop thinking about it.
SPEAKER_00: How can I uh how can I ever get rid of it?
SPEAKER_00: Or maybe when we feel so unseen, we don't think anyone could ever understand us or what we're going through.
SPEAKER_00: Or maybe when we're so lonely that we don't think anyone would even want to really uh know who we are.
SPEAKER_00: Because we know who we are, and maybe we don't like what we what we see.
SPEAKER_00: And so we sense this separation from God in our daily lives.
SPEAKER_00: But we also see the separation illustrated throughout the the Bible.
SPEAKER_00: It's it's one example after another of uh of God and his people and something that keeps them turning from him, uh turning to him, and instead turning to idols and turning to all of these different things to find life in things other than God.
SPEAKER_00: One example is uh is the curtain in the temple.
SPEAKER_00: You know, they build this temple, there's this holy of holies in the center that is supposed to be the presence of God there.
SPEAKER_00: And then they're told to make this thick curtain to go up uh to keep the people separated from God's presence.
SPEAKER_00: It's just like the flaming sword.
SPEAKER_00: There's this barrier uh that um that keeps people from uh from the real presence of God.
SPEAKER_00: And it's meant to leave us thinking: what could ever tear through that curtain and return things to the way that they once were in the garden before the fall?
SPEAKER_00: This is why he needed to come for our sake.
SPEAKER_00: There was an article in the Washington Post uh earlier this week, and the title was Save Jesus, Ignore Easter.
SPEAKER_00: And the the idea of the article is you know, Jesus said some nice things, he was a nice guy, and so people should stick to that and forget all of the kind of spiritual miracle kind of kind of stuff uh that comes with uh that comes with Easter.
SPEAKER_00: The problem is if we really understand the seriousness of our sin and the depth of our need, then we understand that a good teacher and a nice guy isn't enough.
SPEAKER_00: We need a savior.
SPEAKER_00: And I think this is what the rest of 2 Corinthians 5.21 helps us to see.
SPEAKER_00: It explains the salvation of Jesus in two parts our sin to him and his righteousness to us.
SPEAKER_00: Uh first, our our sin to him.
SPEAKER_00: What does it say?
SPEAKER_00: He made him to be sin who knew no sin.
SPEAKER_00: The Bible's clear that the punishment that we deserve for our sin is death.
SPEAKER_00: Physical death is a consequence of sin.
SPEAKER_00: Spiritual death is too.
SPEAKER_00: That separation from God, from the one who made us and the one that we're made for.
SPEAKER_00: We can see this in the Old Testament interaction between God and Abraham.
SPEAKER_00: There's this moment where God is making a promise, a covenant with Abraham, and they're making this agreement that God is going to be his God and his family's God, and uh and they are gonna be his people.
SPEAKER_00: And uh and so he says, this is what it means uh for me, this is what I'm committing to uh to be your God.
SPEAKER_00: And then he says, Abraham, this is what you're committing to uh to uh to be uh to be my my people.
SPEAKER_00: And uh and then they do something interesting.
SPEAKER_00: God tells Abraham to to take these birds and these animals and to cut them into pieces and to make this pathway uh with uh with the pieces of the animals on either uh on either side.
SPEAKER_00: And uh the the culture of the time was uh in in making sort of a contract or an agreement, uh you'd say, uh you'd you'd do this, you'd cut these animals, you'd put the pieces down, and both sides of the people making the contract would walk through it.
SPEAKER_00: And uh, and in essence, what they would be saying is, uh, I'm I'm making this commitment to you, and if I uh break our commitment, if I don't keep my side of uh of the deal, uh then um then this is what should happen to me.
SPEAKER_00: I should be torn to pieces like these uh like these animals and uh and and killed for not keeping my my part of the of the bargain.
SPEAKER_00: And so uh and so Abraham sets these things out, but then something kind of unexpected happens.
SPEAKER_00: Uh God is the only one that goes through the pieces.
SPEAKER_00: Uh he uh he appears as uh as this kind of flaming uh pot and torch and he and he passes through.
SPEAKER_00: But Abraham, he doesn't make Abraham pass through.
SPEAKER_00: He knows Abraham's not gonna keep his side of the bargain.
SPEAKER_00: Right?
SPEAKER_00: He knows uh his people are going to fail again and again.
SPEAKER_00: They're gonna be unfaithful time after time after time.
SPEAKER_00: And so, in his love and his faithfulness and his commitment to Abraham, to his people, to us, he says, I'm gonna keep both sides of the agreement.
SPEAKER_00: He says, I'm gonna stake myself to the punishment if either side fails to keep their end of the bargain.
SPEAKER_00: And this is exactly what Jesus is doing on the cross.
SPEAKER_00: He takes our place.
SPEAKER_00: We're the ones that failed, we're the ones that are unfaithful.
SPEAKER_00: We're the ones that deserve suffering and death.
SPEAKER_00: And Jesus suffers the agony that our sins deserve.
SPEAKER_00: He dies the death that we deserve.
SPEAKER_00: He's been faithful.
SPEAKER_00: We're the unfaithful ones, and he takes on our sins.
SPEAKER_00: He actually becomes sin, the verse says.
SPEAKER_00: He's made sin so that he could take on the wrath and the punishment of God that our sins deserve.
SPEAKER_00: Tim Keller says this.
SPEAKER_00: He says, Had Jesus come with a sword to destroy all evil, there would have been no one left afterwards.
SPEAKER_00: Instead, he came not with a sword in his hands, but with nails in his hands.
SPEAKER_00: He came not to bring judgment, but to bear it.
SPEAKER_00: And this is what he's done for us.
SPEAKER_00: This is him becoming sin and taking our sin on himself so that he could bear the judgment that we deserve.
SPEAKER_00: Because we would be without hope, without it.
SPEAKER_00: The cross is where justice and mercy meet.
SPEAKER_00: Justice because the evilness of sin deserves punishment, and mercy because he takes on what we deserve.
SPEAKER_00: This is why Jesus' death is so bloody and so ugly.
SPEAKER_00: Fleming Rutledge said, had he died in a more merciful, less deliberately dehumanizing way, it would not be possible to see in his death the sum of all horrors.
SPEAKER_00: There's a reason why he suffered the way that he did.
SPEAKER_00: My guess is we've all looked around the world and at some point we've been shocked at the evil we've seen.
SPEAKER_00: It can be hard to imagine how some of the wrongs in this world could ever be made right.
SPEAKER_00: And you may have also looked at your own heart, I know I have, and thought, how could what I've done ever be forgiven?
SPEAKER_00: How could what I've done ever be made right?
SPEAKER_00: In both cases, the suffering and the shame of the cross give us hope.
SPEAKER_00: Because Jesus paid for it all.
SPEAKER_00: He knew the evil in the world, he experienced it.
SPEAKER_00: He knows the sinfulness of my heart and of yours.
SPEAKER_00: Because he knows us.
SPEAKER_00: And he took all of that on himself so he could stand in our place and take what we deserve.
SPEAKER_00: Listen to this from uh from J.I.
SPEAKER_00: Packer.
SPEAKER_00: It's a it's a little bit long, but it's uh but it's really good.
SPEAKER_00: He says, What matters supremely, therefore, is not in the last analysis the fact that I know God, but the larger fact which underlies it, the fact that he knows me.
SPEAKER_00: I am graven on the palms of his hands, I'm never out of his mind.
SPEAKER_00: All my knowledge of him depends on his sustained initiative in knowing me.
SPEAKER_00: I know him because he first knew me and continues to know me.
SPEAKER_00: He knows me as a friend, one who loves me.
SPEAKER_00: And there is no moment when his eye is off of me, or his attention distracted from me, and no moment, therefore, when his care falters.
SPEAKER_00: There is tremendous relief in knowing that his love to me is utterly realistic, based at every point on prior knowledge of the worst about me, so that no discovery now can disillusion him from me in the way I am so often disillusioned about myself, or quench his determination to bless me.
SPEAKER_00: It's called Good Friday, not because of the brutality of the cross and that somehow being good, but because the goodness of God's heart towards his people.
SPEAKER_00: It's on full display as Jesus suffers and dies in our place, so we can belong to him.
SPEAKER_00: Jesus buys us back from death for life with him.
SPEAKER_00: And the goodness of what Jesus has done for us, it gets even better.
SPEAKER_00: It's sometimes called the great exchange.
SPEAKER_00: Not only does he take our sins on himself, but the verse tells us he gives us something in return.
SPEAKER_00: His righteousness, his good and perfect righteousness.
SPEAKER_00: How does the verse end?
SPEAKER_00: It says, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
SPEAKER_00: His righteousness to us.
SPEAKER_00: Jesus doesn't just forgive us and then leave us with a blank slate to go on and now try and go be a good person.
SPEAKER_00: He gives us his righteousness.
SPEAKER_00: We're credited with the perfect life that he lived, as if we had lived it.
SPEAKER_00: So when the Father looks at his children, when he looks at me, when he looks at you, he sees us clothed in the righteousness of Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: So what does that do for us?
SPEAKER_00: What does that mean for us from day to day?
SPEAKER_00: Well, one, we can live for him with joy.
SPEAKER_00: The cross changes our perspective on what we do.
SPEAKER_00: If we already have the righteousness of Jesus, then nothing we do to try and earn it is um is necessary.
SPEAKER_00: When we look at the good things that we do, we're not trying to build up this good resume that then we can take to God and see, look, say, look, I've earned it, I deserve it.
SPEAKER_00: You owe me.
SPEAKER_00: We already have it.
SPEAKER_00: We already have his righteousness, we already have his love and affection.
SPEAKER_00: And so instead, what we get to do is to live with thankfulness for what he's already done for us and what we've already received from him.
SPEAKER_00: The pressure to perform is off.
SPEAKER_00: Instead, we get to have joy in living for him.
SPEAKER_00: And even better than that, we can be confident that his joy is in us.
SPEAKER_00: Do you remember what the Father said to Jesus as he was getting baptized?
SPEAKER_00: He said, This is my father, this is my son in whom I am well pleased.
SPEAKER_00: And he said that to Jesus, and uh those words to him, and now those words are for us, for those who belong to him.
SPEAKER_00: Those are the words he offers to us as we're clothed in the righteousness of Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: He speaks joy and love over us as his children.
SPEAKER_00: This is why we can approach this communion table with confidence.
SPEAKER_00: Remember when we talked earlier about the barrier between us and God?
SPEAKER_00: The curtain that was put in the temple.
SPEAKER_00: The Bible tells us as Jesus died on the cross, the curtain was torn in two.
SPEAKER_00: This is the hope that we have that we can enter into his presence.
SPEAKER_00: Once again, Charles Spurgeon said, when Jesus died on the cross, the veil in the temple was torn from top to bottom so that big sinners like me could get through.
SPEAKER_00: That's our hope.
SPEAKER_00: If you're in him, you can come to this table.
SPEAKER_00: Not because of anything good that you've done.
SPEAKER_00: You're a big sinner.
SPEAKER_00: But only because of what Jesus has done for you.
SPEAKER_00: He stood in your place, he took your sin.
SPEAKER_00: He's given you his righteousness.
SPEAKER_00: The barrier between you and him has been removed.
SPEAKER_00: Your sin has been taken away, and you can come to him because you've been covered with the righteousness of Jesus.
SPEAKER_00: And I'll just say for a moment, I realize, you know, some of you here may not be at that point where you've trusted your life to Jesus, where you're resting in him for your goodness and for your righteousness.
SPEAKER_00: These words in the middle of 2 Corinthians 5.21 are so important in Him.
SPEAKER_00: All of these things that we've talked about tonight are good and true, but they're only true for those who are in Him.
SPEAKER_00: And the good news is His arms are wide open to you.
SPEAKER_00: He longs for you to come to Him.
SPEAKER_00: And he wants to welcome you in.
SPEAKER_00: But this is why we say that this table in front of us is a family meal.
SPEAKER_00: It's for those of us who are in him.
SPEAKER_00: And so if that's not you tonight, then we'd ask you not to come and take of the elements, but instead to consider all that you've heard here tonight about Jesus and who he was and what he's done and even what he's done for you.
SPEAKER_00: And maybe even put your faith and your trust in him for the first time.
SPEAKER_00: But if we're in him, then in a minute, we're going to come to these tables, and you'll have the opportunity to come boldly and confidently to receive his mercy, to receive his grace, and to commune with him.
SPEAKER_00: And so we're going to do a couple things here as we prepare for communion.
SPEAKER_00: We've got a responsive reading, and it's reading through Jesus' statements from the cross and the things that he said as he hung on the cross and as he suffered and he died for us.
SPEAKER_00: And so we'll read these responsively.
SPEAKER_00: And then afterwards, we have a prayer of confession that we'll read together.
SPEAKER_00: And then we'll take a few minutes of quiet before we come to the table.
SPEAKER_00: So I'll read the verses and then we'll say the people part together.
SPEAKER_00: And Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.
SPEAKER_00: And they cast lots to divide his garments.
SPEAKER_00: Oh, what a gracious Savior.
SPEAKER_00: And he said to him, Truly I say to you, today, you will be with me in paradise.
SPEAKER_00: Oh, what a merciful Savior.
SPEAKER_00: When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, Woman, behold your son.
SPEAKER_00: And he said to the disciples, Behold your mother.
SPEAKER_00: And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home.
SPEAKER_00: Oh, what a beautiful Savior.
SPEAKER_00: And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lemma sabathani, that is, my God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
SPEAKER_00: Oh, what a costly redemption.
SPEAKER_00: After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, said to fulfill the scripture, I thirst.
SPEAKER_00: Oh, what agony he endured for us.
SPEAKER_00: A jar full of sour wine stood there, so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a hysset branch and held it to his mouth.
SPEAKER_00: When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, It is finished.
SPEAKER_00: And he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
SPEAKER_00: Oh, what a costly redemption.
SPEAKER_00: Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.
SPEAKER_00: And having said this, he breathed his last.
SPEAKER_00: Oh, what a costly redemption.
SPEAKER_00: We're going to read this prayer of confession together as a way of acknowledging our need for him as we come to this table.
SPEAKER_00: Let's read it together.
SPEAKER_00: Father, I plead Jesus' blood to pay my debts of wrong.
SPEAKER_00: Accept his worthiness for my unworthiness, his sinlessness for my transgressions, his purity for my uncleanness, his sincerity for my duplicity, his truth for my deceits, his meekness for my pride, his constancy for my backslidings, his love for my hatred, his fullness for my emptiness, his faithfulness for my disloyalty, his obedience for my lawlessness, his glory for my shame, his devotedness for my waywardness, his holy life for my impure ways, his righteous faithfulness for my faithless works, his death for my life.
SPEAKER_00: Amen.
SPEAKER_00: Hear these words of assurance and pardon, we've been talking about for the last few minutes.
SPEAKER_00: For our sake, he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
SPEAKER_00: Amen.
SPEAKER_00: That sermon I mentioned earlier from Alistair Begg, he uh he ends it and he and he talks about one of the statements from the from the cross that we uh that we just read a minute ago about the thief on the cross that Jesus uh says, uh, you know, he says, uh, you know, can um uh can I believe in you, can I go with you uh to paradise?
SPEAKER_00: And uh and he says, uh today you will be you will be with me there.
SPEAKER_00: He talks about you know what uh what what that thief on the cross would say as he as he was trying to answer that question when he got to the gates of heaven, why should I let you in?
SPEAKER_00: He's known Jesus for a matter of you know moments.
SPEAKER_00: Uh he's got he's got nothing that he can point to to say, uh, look what I did, or or uh, or look what I've uh look what I've said, or look at how faithful I've I've been.
SPEAKER_00: He has nothing.
SPEAKER_00: And he says, uh, imagine uh imagine that thief uh saying, um, I I don't know, all I do know is that uh the the middle guy on the cross, uh the guy on the middle cross uh told me I could come.
SPEAKER_00: And that's that's the invitation that all of us have.
SPEAKER_00: That Jesus, who hung on that middle cross for you and for me, gives us the invitation to come.
SPEAKER_00: And as we're in him, we come and we come finding rest for our souls.
SPEAKER_00: That's what he says to all who are weary and heavy laden, come and I will give you rest.
SPEAKER_00: And so Jesus, when he instituted that uh supper, uh, took the bread and broke it and said, This is my body which is for you.
SPEAKER_00: Do this in remembrance of me.
SPEAKER_00: In the same way, after the supper, Jesus took the cup, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood.
SPEAKER_00: Whenever you drink, drink in remembrance of me.
SPEAKER_00: Uh this is what we're gonna do.
SPEAKER_00: Um we uh we're gonna take communion kind of how we normally do.
SPEAKER_00: Um, whenever you're ready, you can uh get up, and there'll be two stations in uh in the back there.
SPEAKER_00: Uh if you are serving communion, you can go ahead and kind of head that way.
SPEAKER_00: Um and uh and and just for the next minute, I'm gonna give us just uh some silence, uh some time to just reflect on on all that we've uh thought about and sung and said and read and all of these things tonight.
SPEAKER_00: Um just give us a few moments to reflect.
SPEAKER_00: Uh, and then uh and then I'll I'll dismiss us.
SPEAKER_00: Uh and uh while uh while these guys are singing, uh you can uh you can sing, you can uh uh pray, uh you can wait in line and uh and receive the elements and uh and take this uh meal together.
SPEAKER_00: So let's take just a few uh a few moments of silence and then uh and then in a minute I'll uh I'll dismiss us uh to take uh to take any
