WEBVTT 00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:30.160 Genesis chapter two, beginning at verse four. 00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:49.840 These are the generations of the heavens and the earth, when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens, and every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew. 00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:57.679 For the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. 00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:03.920 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. 00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:16.640 And the Lord God formed man in the from the dust of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul. 00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:25.920 And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed. 00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:36.079 And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that it pleased to the sight and good for food. 00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:42.319 The tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. 00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:53.680 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden, and from thence it was parted and became into four heads. 00:01:54.319 --> 00:02:03.200 The name of the first is Pison, that is, which compasses the whole land of Habilah, where there is gold. 00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:05.840 And the gold of that land is good. 00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:10.000 There is Delium and the Onyx stone. 00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:13.599 And the name of the second river is Gihon. 00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:18.800 The same is it that compasses the whole land of Ethiopia. 00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:23.280 And the name of the third river is Hittakel. 00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:28.080 That is it which goeth through toward the east of Assyria. 00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:32.560 And the fourth river, and the fourth river is Euphrates. 00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:40.479 And the Lord God took the man and put him into the Garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. 00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:59.360 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil thou shalt not eat of it, for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. 00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:08.719 And the Lord God said, It is not good for that man should be alone, and I will make and help meat for him. 00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:20.560 And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every fowl of the earth, and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them. 00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:26.960 And whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. 00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:35.680 And Adam gave names to all cattle and to the fowls of the earth and to every beast of the field. 00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:40.479 But for Adam there was not found and helped meat for him. 00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:46.159 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept. 00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:54.240 And he took the one of his ribs, and clothed the flesh instead thereof. 00:03:54.639 --> 00:04:01.759 And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from the man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. 00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:08.639 And Adam said, This is now a bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh. 00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:13.520 She shall be called woman, because she was taken out of the man. 00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:22.800 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife, and they shall be one flesh. 00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:29.279 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. 00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:31.120 That's the reason to God's word. 00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:31.839 Amen. 00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:12.079 Twenty-nine minutes and count. 00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:20.560 Anyway, so we begin at the beginning. 00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:26.240 The great covenants of scripture. 00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:35.040 The long road God has walked with his people, the promises he has made, and the astonishing patience that he has shown. 00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:39.439 Covenants are not a museum piece. 00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:45.279 They're not something that the church has talked much about, and it's something that it's important we know about. 00:05:46.399 --> 00:06:03.279 They are the backbone of the Bible story, and they map out the method by which we understand our own story and in many cases our failed relationship with God. 00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:12.480 And just to show you how important this first one is, this is a nine-part sermon. 00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:16.079 Normally you have a three-part sermon or a five-part sermon. 00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:18.800 I've got a nine-part sermon for you tonight. 00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:20.959 Not that you're going to be here very long. 00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:24.959 I'm not, I don't plan to keep you here till the cows come home or whatever. 00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:26.879 Uh, but it is a long sermon. 00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:29.279 Not a long sermon, it is a nine-part sermon. 00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:33.279 But you know me, my parts are all very short and very good. 00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:39.040 And as the every good story starts, we start in the beginning. 00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:45.519 I wanted to use the phrase once upon a time, but we use that for myths and things that don't exactly. 00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:49.279 But it's actually right, once upon a time, this is what happens. 00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:54.480 The world as God intended it to be. 00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:56.560 Not what Eden was. 00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:00.079 What God actually had planned for us. 00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:06.480 Genesis 2 gives us a slower, more intimate picture of creation. 00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:10.160 God forms man and woman. 00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:13.839 He forms man from the dust of the earth. 00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:17.279 Breathes into him the breath of life. 00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:19.199 He brings it to life. 00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:24.240 And he forms woman out of man to be a helper. 00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:32.160 Not to be second, not to be a slave, not to be a chapel, but to be a helper. 00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:38.319 God plants a garden in the east. 00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:39.759 He calls it Eden. 00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:47.600 And God places the human in it to work it and keep it. 00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:51.199 This is the world of the gift. 00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:58.000 But it's also the world of order and of beauty and of purpose. 00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:10.079 At the center of this world, God places his greatest creation, humanity, male and female, made in his image. 00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:20.160 That means, many people get this wrong, that means we are created to reflect the character of God. 00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:25.360 We represent his rule. 00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:28.959 We are stewards in his world. 00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:31.439 Remember, this is his world. 00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:34.720 It's his rule, not our world and our rule. 00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:37.279 We are stewards in his world. 00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:42.399 A steward is somebody who cares for that of the owner. 00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:52.240 In plain English, we are meant to show what God is like and to care for what God has made. 00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:57.440 Here we see the first covenantal moment. 00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:04.399 God blesses humanity and gives them a vocation. 00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:11.919 Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, steward it. 00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:14.960 You've certainly done the first three. 00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:18.159 We seem to have failed sadly at the last one. 00:09:19.919 --> 00:09:24.720 Then God actually gives us a boundary, a single command. 00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:27.279 A single command. 00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:37.120 You may eat of every tree, but not the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, he says. 00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:42.159 This is what theologians later call the covenant of works. 00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:45.919 That is a covenant based on obedience. 00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:48.399 But the heart of it is simple. 00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:52.799 God gives freedom. 00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:56.639 God gives dignity. 00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:03.840 God gives responsibility and a choice. 00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:10.480 You see, a world without choice is a world without love. 00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:18.159 And the second point I want to talk about is this choice, this love, the gift of a relationship. 00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:27.679 The Adam Covenant is not merely about rules. 00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:30.799 It's about relationship. 00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:36.080 God walks with Adam in the cool of the day. 00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:38.320 There is intimacy. 00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:40.960 There is trust. 00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:43.200 There is joy. 00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:53.600 And God sees that it is not good for Adam, the first man, to be alone, so he creates woman. 00:10:54.159 --> 00:11:02.159 Not as an afterthought, not as a subordinate, but as a partner and a co-image bearer. 00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:11.200 Together they form the first community, the first family, the first society. 00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:18.080 This then is the world as God intended it to be. 00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:25.440 Harmony with God, harmony with one another, and harmony with creation. 00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:40.320 The serpent enters. 00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:43.679 And he enters with a question. 00:11:44.559 --> 00:11:49.200 He goes, What did God rarely say? 00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:55.519 Why did God rarely say that to you? 00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:57.679 He's saying the same thing today. 00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:00.639 What did God rarely say that? 00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:05.679 And many people are going, well, no, I think it's this. 00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:12.799 You see, he he gets people to doubt the word of God, his word, his very instruction. 00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:17.600 He challenges, he doesn't challenge it directly. 00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:20.000 He's too clever for that. 00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:21.679 You can't blame the servant. 00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:23.919 He just goes, didn't you rarely say that? 00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:25.840 Didn't you rarely mean that? 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:28.639 And of course, people nowadays go, well, I don't like that. 00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:31.279 It doesn't fit him as my worldview, therefore, it must be wrong. 00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:37.200 It must be of the time, or it must be because it was a patriarchal society, or it must be something else. 00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:39.759 Did God rarely say that? 00:12:40.559 --> 00:12:48.399 It is the seed of doubt that has echoed through every human heart since the fall of man. 00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:58.000 Since Eve at the fruit and gave it to Adam, and notice in the Bible it says no has nothing about an apple. 00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:07.200 Since Eve at the fruit and gave it to Adam, that has been the cause. 00:13:08.399 --> 00:13:11.440 The doubting of the word of God. 00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:19.039 Adam and Eve grasp at wisdom on their own terms. 00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:22.720 They choose autonomy over trust. 00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:27.519 And the consequences are immediate. 00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:34.879 Shame, fear, blame, alienation. 00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:38.240 They know they're naked, so they hide from God. 00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:41.200 And God goes around asking, where are they? 00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:43.440 Not that God doesn't know where they are. 00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:45.200 Don't get that into your mind either. 00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:47.039 He knows exactly where they are. 00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:50.320 What he's asking is, why aren't they out in the open? 00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:54.559 He knows they're ashamed. 00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:01.120 Because they've sinned. 00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:06.159 And he's hoping that they're going to repent of that sin. 00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:08.399 So he could forgive. 00:14:10.399 --> 00:14:11.039 But no. 00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:14.480 The covenant is broken. 00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:23.600 Not because God is petty, but because humanity has severed the relationship on which the covenant depends. 00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:27.840 This is a thing you'll hear over the next seven weeks. 00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:35.600 Humanity severs the relationship on which the covenant depends. 00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:43.200 The tragedy of Genesis 3 is not that God is angry, it is that humanity hides. 00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:47.759 The God who walked with them now calls, Where are you? 00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:52.960 Not because he doesn't know, but because they no longer want to be found. 00:14:53.679 --> 00:14:57.039 And this is a human condition today, isn't it? 00:14:57.440 --> 00:14:59.840 People don't want to be found. 00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:05.759 They're scared of facing a just God, knowing that they are full of sin. 00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:09.679 They are a dirt in the ground. 00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:14.720 And there's consequences, and there's mercy. 00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:19.600 The Adamic covenant includes consequences. 00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:26.879 Now these are not arbitrary punishments, but the natural outworking of broken trust. 00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:30.559 Work becomes toil. 00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:35.519 What was pleasant in the garden becomes necessity out of the garden. 00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:44.320 Where the weeds have to be dug out and the brith and the bramble, and by the sweat of the brow, Adam has to plant to eat. 00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:48.799 Where they could just pluck food off the trees or out of the ground and eat. 00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:50.080 Not anymore. 00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:51.120 That's gone. 00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:55.519 Childbearing becomes painful for the women. 00:15:56.159 --> 00:15:58.320 Relationships become strained. 00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:01.360 They don't become any more strained than Cain and Abel. 00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:03.600 The ground resists. 00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:07.039 And death enters the story. 00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:14.159 God said, if you eat up the fruit of good and evil, you will surely die. 00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:17.039 Did he really say that? 00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:19.120 Well, yes, he did. 00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:24.320 And surely Adam and Eve both died. 00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:26.399 Maybe not immediately. 00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:29.519 But where they had been immortal, they suddenly became mortal. 00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:33.039 Where they had eternal life, suddenly they had a finite life. 00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:40.720 God may not do things now, of course. 00:16:42.559 --> 00:16:43.759 He does punish. 00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:52.879 And yet, even through all of this, mercy shines. 00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:55.759 God clothes them. 00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:57.840 We get the first spilling of blood. 00:16:58.080 --> 00:17:00.559 God protects them from the tree of life. 00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:09.599 God promises that one day the serpent will be crushed by the offspring of a woman. 00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:22.319 The first whisper of the gospel in the second chapter of Genesis. 00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:27.759 The proto-evangelism, the first good news. 00:17:28.160 --> 00:17:34.880 Even as humanity falls, God promises redemption. 00:17:36.799 --> 00:17:39.920 And why then does this m covenant matter today? 00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:48.640 The Ademic Covenant tells us three truths that shape the whole of Christian life. 00:17:50.319 --> 00:17:56.079 Firstly, we as God's creation are created. 00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:06.400 We are created with dignity. 00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:11.279 Every human being bears the image of God. 00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:16.880 And this is why Christians should care. 00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:33.599 Should care, because I know some who claim to be Christians that don't, should care about justice and compassion and the worth of every individual human, including the unborn child and the elderly. 00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:43.680 Something that seems to be being thrown away in our day and age, with abortion and euthanasia laws coming into play. 00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:49.440 Secondly, we are called to take responsibility. 00:18:50.480 --> 00:18:59.119 Creation care, the care of the Planet, is not a modern idea. 00:18:59.680 --> 00:19:02.240 It's a biblical vocation. 00:19:02.480 --> 00:19:11.440 Our work, our relationships, and our communities are places where we reflect God's character. 00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:13.200 Let that one sink in. 00:19:13.279 --> 00:19:14.319 I want to say that one again. 00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:23.839 Our work, our relationships, and our communities are places where we reflect God's character. 00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:38.880 So the next time you look in the mirror in the morning, or whenever you go out, and you go out to meet friends, or you go out to a meeting, or whatever, do you reflect God's character when you're there? 00:19:39.440 --> 00:19:41.759 Do you treat people with respect? 00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:44.559 Do you treat people with love? 00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:50.799 Do you treat people as image bearers of God even if they don't know yet? 00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:54.480 Even if they're falling and still in their sins. 00:19:57.519 --> 00:20:05.119 Because even though we have a broken image in a sinner, we still an image. 00:20:05.920 --> 00:20:08.400 A broken mirror don't reflect. 00:20:08.720 --> 00:20:11.039 It just reflects badly. 00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:21.200 Thirdly, we are broken and we need grace, which goes well with a broken image image. 00:20:21.920 --> 00:20:26.319 The fall is not just Adam and Eve's story. 00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:28.720 It's our story too. 00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:31.519 We all know the pull of distrust. 00:20:31.920 --> 00:20:33.839 We all know the shame. 00:20:34.400 --> 00:20:37.039 And we all know that it makes us hide. 00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:45.599 We all know the pull of distrust because somebody says something to us, or I don't like something, I'm as guilty as everybody else on that one. 00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:55.839 We all know the shame of it when it's us that cause that distrust, and we like to hide from the realization instead of being brave enough to stand up and go, my fault. 00:20:57.119 --> 00:21:01.359 It makes us hide from those who we should be with. 00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:08.319 The long road God walks with us is a covenant. 00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:13.039 The covenant sets a stage for everything else that follows. 00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:19.599 Sorry, this covenant sets a stage for everything else that follows. 00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:23.039 Noah, God preserves creation. 00:21:23.440 --> 00:21:26.799 Abraham, God blesses the nations. 00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:30.400 Moses, God shapes his people. 00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:33.519 The priest, God's providing mediators. 00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:36.160 David, God promises a righteous king. 00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:42.559 And in Christ, and in Christ alone, God fulfills every promise. 00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:49.039 And these all flow from this first Adamic covenant. 00:21:50.079 --> 00:21:59.200 But none of these covenants that we will discuss over the coming weeks makes any sense unless we begin, like everything else begins in the garden. 00:22:03.119 --> 00:22:08.400 With a God who creates, call, and cares. 00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:14.000 And with a humanity that bears his image and breaks his heart. 00:22:14.079 --> 00:22:16.880 I mean, he must have broken his heart so often. 00:22:17.920 --> 00:22:26.720 And the honesty we need with this, with the Adamic covenant, tells the truth about us, about all of us, even in this day and age. 00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:29.920 And it tells us an absolute truth about God. 00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:34.480 He does not abandon his creation. 00:22:35.759 --> 00:22:39.119 No matter how bad we were, he's never abandoned. 00:22:39.200 --> 00:22:42.319 The promise of the Bible is that there will always be a remnant. 00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:43.920 There will always be some. 00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:46.799 He doesn't give up on this. 00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:49.519 He tries and tries and tries again. 00:22:49.759 --> 00:22:54.240 Until he gets to the point of going, mankind is useless at keeping his part. 00:22:54.319 --> 00:22:56.799 I've got to do both parts of the covenant. 00:22:59.279 --> 00:23:01.119 And Christ comes in. 00:23:02.160 --> 00:23:07.839 And only when God is one side of the covenant and Christ is the other is the covenant secure. 00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:16.880 Does not give up on us as image bearers, even when that image is fractured and broken. 00:23:17.359 --> 00:23:22.160 Even when we think it doesn't even exist, he does not give up on us as image bearers. 00:23:23.839 --> 00:23:27.519 He does not leave us in our hiding places. 00:23:29.279 --> 00:23:31.440 He comes looking for us. 00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:39.839 We talk about the Holy Spirit being the one that comes and tells us and convicts us of our sins. 00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:43.359 Not, we don't go, we're sinners, God, we need Christ. 00:23:43.519 --> 00:23:45.839 The Holy Spirit comes and goes, you're a sinner. 00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:47.839 Here's the fix. 00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:49.920 A man named Jesus. 00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:58.480 The Adamic covenant is the story of a God who comes looking for us. 00:23:58.880 --> 00:24:00.880 That's an amen statement. 00:24:01.119 --> 00:24:05.519 Because without God looking for us, we would still be in our sins. 00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:11.599 And the hope we carry, and I want you to hear this really clearly. 00:24:14.160 --> 00:24:16.240 You are made in God's image. 00:24:17.119 --> 00:24:20.480 You are called to reflect his character. 00:24:20.960 --> 00:24:26.480 You, and I'm pointing at you because you're about to be uh confirmed. 00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:31.920 You actually, we all are broken. 00:24:35.119 --> 00:24:38.799 But the great thing is, we're not abandoned. 00:24:40.400 --> 00:24:42.880 The covenant ends with exile. 00:24:44.319 --> 00:24:46.079 But it doesn't end in despair. 00:24:46.720 --> 00:24:48.400 It ends with a promise. 00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:55.200 A child would come who would crush the serpent, restore the image, and open the way back to God. 00:24:56.799 --> 00:25:03.440 We know who that child is, and we know what his name is, and we know how to claim him. 00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:06.079 Because God does that for us. 00:25:09.279 --> 00:25:14.960 For new believers, the covenant explains the world we live in. 00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:17.599 Beautiful and broken. 00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:25.200 For the seasoned believer, it reminds you how patient God has been and how faithful he remains. 00:25:27.519 --> 00:25:30.799 We are all children of Adam. 00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:36.799 But in Christ, we are being remade. 00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:42.880 And as we walk through these seven covenants, see not ancient history. 00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:46.319 But see your own story. 00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:53.359 A story of dignity, of calling, of failure in grace. 00:25:54.400 --> 00:25:59.759 A story of a God who keeps his promise, even when we break ours. 00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:05.279 A story that leads us to the covenant of grace in Jesus Christ. 00:26:05.599 --> 00:26:06.240 Amen.
