Our Inheritance

“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.  And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Matthew 28:19-20

“ ‘But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.’  After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.”

Acts 1:8-9

The disciples watched and their jaws dropped as Jesus lifted into the air defying gravity.  By ascending into heaven, Jesus took the risk that He would be forgotten.  He left the charge of the kingdom growth and expansion in fumbling hands of mankind.  God trusted His reputation, His Son’s story, and the kingdom growth to Jesus’ disciples. 

The world would not know anything about Him if it weren’t for the impact that He left on the lives of men and women.  He never wrote a book or wrote any of His teachings.  He never married, had children, and set up a dynasty.  He had no earthly possessions unless you count His robe, which was gambled for at the cross.

My friend Paula has written this amazing song called “Gospel to the World.”  I remember when she was writing it and trying to work out the final touches of it.  At Bible study one night at her house, she told us that she was not quite sure if it was going to be on her next CD.  We encouraged her to sit down at her piano and play it for us. 

The first verse starts by saying, “Jesus lived his life to die, and He died to save us.”  The end of the first verse says, “We can see His heart in the many things He left us.”  Here is the chorus:

The silver went to Judas

His body went to Joseph

His mother to apostles who would take good care of her

His clothes to soldier

His peace to disciples

His supper to his followers

And the Gospel to the world.

The second verse says:

No earthly possessions anyone could hope for

No worthy estate that one would seek to gain

But the precious things He had would change history forever

And changed my life today.

As I was opening the door to leave Paula’s house, I realized something that gave me God-bumps.  I told Paula, “Oh, Oh, the chorus is Jesus’ last will and testament!  There is so much meaning in everything on the list!”  Before I tell you the explanation that I shared with Paula, I’ll tell you her reaction was in a loving way, “Only you would get that, Shirley.”  So let’s break the chorus down line by line, and I will tell you what I said to her:

The silver went to Judas – The only money associated with His life went to His betrayer.

His body went to Joseph – There were no burial arrangements with the funeral director.  However, it was important that someone attend to Jesus’ body in order to prove that there was an empty tomb.  So God placed it on the heart of Joseph to ask for Jesus’ body and bury it in his tomb.  Everyone knew that it was placed in Joseph of Arimathea’s tomb because of the Roman guard.

Are you beginning to see yet?  Did you notice that the temporal things that didn’t have much worth, He didn’t assign?  Clothes and money didn’t matter so Jesus didn’t designate to anyone.  So His betrayer took the money, and the Roman soldiers who crucified Him took His clothing.  However, His precious body did matter to prove the resurrection, and it enclosed the Shekinah glory of God.  Between His Father and Jesus, the things that were precious and eternal were specifically assigned.  

His mother was important so as Jesus was dying on the cross, He told John to take care of His mother like she was John’s own mother.  At the Last Supper, Jesus told His disciples that He was leaving them His peace.  His peace is precious, and if you don’t have it, then you want it more than any riches in the world.  Also at the Last Supper, Jesus instituted the New Covenant which we still take today in remembrance of His sacrifice as the ultimate fulfillment of the Passover Lamb.  His Last Supper has encouraged believers for 2,000 years.  Lastly, He gave the greatest thing that He could give to every person who has ever lived.  He gave the gospel to the world.

The gospel story is our inheritance.  It’s your inheritance.  It’s my inheritance.  You and I are heirs of the greatest estate ever been given to anyone.  Its worth cannot be measured in human terms.  Most likely, I will never receive an earthly inheritance of great worth, but I am an heiress of the most amazing treasure.  The thing about this inheritance is the more we give away, the more God pours out into us.  It’s a replenishing inheritance.  I plan on using every part of it.  I’m going to give away as much of my inheritance as I can.  The story of Jesus Christ has brought healing to my mind, forgiven me of my many sins, redeemed my past, given me the best relationships of my life, peace through any circumstances, confidence for my future, security in my identity, and I could keep going on.  I must share it with everyone God brings across my path.

We’ve all received gifts through the Holy Spirit that can help fulfill the Great Commission.  The disciples were just like us.   We stumble and stutter.  We shrink back from things that stretch us.  God trusts us to do this.  He is entrusting us with the story of His Son.  This is our tenure on planet earth.  This is our appointed time.  We must obey Him.  He’s given the baton to us.  It’s in our hands.  We are ordinary people just like the disciples who can do extraordinary things when empowered by the Holy Spirit.

Pray with me: Almighty God, O, how we praise You.  You are infinite and everlasting.  Thank You for giving us the greatest inheritance of all times.  Teach us to not live like paupers, but daughters and heirs.  We have great value, and we possess things of eternal value.  Through Jesus, we have precious things and things that matter.  All this we pray in the Name above all names and the Name that one day every knee will bow and every tongue will confess it, in Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.

The Kingdom of God

"Once, having been asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, ‘The kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation, nor will people say, 'Here it is,' or 'There it is,' because the kingdom of God is within you.’ ”

Luke 17:20-21

 

John baptized the people with water. He understood that the purpose of his life was just to prepare the way for the Messiah. When Jesus Messiah appeared on the scene and he baptized him, he said of Jesus in John 3:30, “He must become greater; I must become less.” He knew his ministry would dwindle when Jesus’ time had come. He preached a message of repentance and told the people that the kingdom of God was near. The kingdom of God was being manifested in power on earth. The kingdom of God which holds majesty and power was beginning an invasion on earth. The invasion was of God’s design, not of man’s design. 

Luke 17:20-21 says, “Once, having been asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, ‘The kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation, nor will people say, 'Here it is,' or 'There it is,' because the kingdom of God is within you.’ ”

The kingdom of God was never meant at Jesus’ first coming to have an earthly rule. The kingdom was meant to live within us. God designed to reign first in the hearts of His people before He would have physical, earthly rule. In some future time, Jesus will return and set up His political and geographical rule.  

Jesus is King – He came to live among us so He could identify with our humanness. Who wants a king who has no understanding of what it means to be human? He came to be one of us before He ruled over us. He gave up His riches to know our poverty. He had everything; yet to win us, He left all the riches in heaven.

Precious one, doesn’t that just astound you to know how valuable you and I are? Our King came to identify with you and me. He knows what it is like to be tempted, sad, or frustrated. He knows poverty. He knows all about physical needs.   He desires to set a kingdom in our hearts. He wants us to let Him rule over our lives not as a tyrant but as a loving, caring Father with the ability and the knowledge to deal with any situation. I hope you feel the same way that I do. I can bend my knee to this King. He is worthy to rule in my heart and yours.

Pray with me: Oh, thank You, Jesus, for leaving everything in heaven to come to earth and dwell among us. You left Your throne and submitted to the Father’s plan. You came to set up a kingdom – not politically or by geography. You set up a kingdom in our hearts. You want us. You have everything in the world except man because You gave us the freedom to choose. So Lord, we choose You every time, above all things. We choose YOU! It’s in the Name above all names, in Jesus’ Name, Yeshua’s Name, we pray. Amen.

Make Straight

"John testifies concerning him. He cries out, saying, 'This was he of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.' '.John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet, 'I am the voice of one calling in the desert, 'Make straight the way for the Lord.' ' "

John 1:15, 23

He was one of the most colorful prophets of the Bible. He stirred up Israel and set the stage for Jesus to enter. Isaiah prophesied about him 700 years before his birth. The religious leaders thought he was crazy. His parents praised God for letting them be his parents and for blessing them with him in their old age. Numerous people were baptized by him. Herod hated him. Some of Jesus' disciples followed him before they followed Jesus. He preached boldly and showed no fear. He was chosen by God to be the one who prepared the way for Jesus. Do you know who he is? That's right, he is John the Baptist.

 

In Luke 1, the angel Gabriel appeared to his father Zechariah and told him that his prayers had been heard. His wife Elizabeth would bear him a son, and he was to give him the name John. Elizabeth and Jesus' mother Mary were cousins, which made John the Baptist and Jesus cousins, too. John would be a joy and delight to his parents and great in the sight of the Lord. He would be filled with the Holy Spirit even from birth and bring back many people to the Lord. He was to go before the LORD in the spirit and power of Elijah and to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.

 

In John 1, when the people wanted to know who was this man preaching in the wilderness, John confessed that he was not Elijah, the Christ, or the Prophet. He simply used the words of Isaiah the prophet and said, "I am the voice of one calling in the desert, 'Make straight the way for the Lord.' " John the Baptist was sent by God to prepare the way for the Messiah. In ancient times a forerunner would go before a dignitary to announce his coming and clear the way before him. Highways were made straight only for a king. John understood the dignitary he announced was much higher than he. In John 1:27 which says, "He is the one who comes after me, the thongs of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie," he used an analogy of their time to explain how high Jesus outranked him. In ancient times a slave would have had many menial tasks to perform for his master. However, unstrapping the sandal was considered too menial a task. A person's slave would not do it; the master would do it for himself. John was saying in comparison to Jesus, he was even lower than a slave.

 

John called Jesus the Lamb of God. In the Jewish culture, the symbolism of the lamb would need no explanation. They knew the lamb meant a sacrifice as an atonement for their sins. However, few people understood before the cross that Jesus was to be the final Lamb sacrificed for our sins.

 

The news about this prophet in the wilderness who didn't need a modern day sound system to be heard had spread to Jerusalem, all of Judea, and the region of the Jordan. His clothes were made of camel's hair, and he had a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey, for heaven's sake. This alone would make him an attraction. People were laying aside their work for the day and closing up their shops. They came to hear a man preaching by the Jordan River. The Pharisees had united with the Sadducees, their enemies, to investigate this wild looking man who was preaching and baptizing by the river. One friend dragged another there because she could not go alone. The curious came to see why everyone was talking about Him. The hopeful came seeking one who might finally release them from the political oppression and unrest. People with hopes for their futures...People with dreams for their children...People with questions about their oppression and the evil in the world...People just like you and me.

 

John preached a message of repentance and told the people that the kingdom of God was near. He baptized the people with water. John understood that his life was just to prepare the way for Messiah. When Jesus Messiah appeared on the scene and he baptized him, he says of Jesus in John 3:30, "He must become greater; I must become less." He knew his ministry would dwindle when Jesus' time had come.

 

My friend, you and I can learn much from John's example. We are preparing for our home in heaven and for the return of the King. Our heart's desire should be that He becomes greater and that we become less. May we be filled more with the Spirit and less of our flesh and selfish desires for He is our God!

 

Pray with me: Oh, God, thank You for Your perfect plan. You perfectly planned Jesus' birth and life on earth. You sent John the Baptist to make straight the way for Your Son. Help us to learn from John's life that we are here to serve the kingdom and to prepare the bride for the return of our Groom. May You become greater and we become less. Shine through us so all people see when they see us is Jesus. It's in His name we pray, in Yeshua's Name. Amen.

He Inhabits Eternity

“For thus says the High and Lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in the high and holy place, with him who has a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.”

Isaiah 57:15 (NKJV)

God’s Word is Alive! It breathes life into those who sincerely search for help, truth, answers, meaning, purpose, righteousness, and above all God Himself. Sometimes just a simple Scripture will rejuvenate and refill me so that my heart leaps and soul bounds in worship. My countenance goes from heavy and dark to uplifted and bright. Today’s verse Isaiah 57:15 did it for me. I just sat and stared at this verse for the longest time thinking about it. God just continues to stun me.

In this verse, Isaiah tells us that God is the High and Lofty One. He is higher than the sky you and I see. He is above all earthly kings and kingdoms, presidents, nations, and authorities. Heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain God (1 Kings 8:27). He is exalted over all others – every Hollywood actor, every political leader, every person of the year, every billionaire, every sheik, every sports star, every war hero, or every royalty. Their fame does not compare. Our God is exalted above all people and things on earth, throughout the solar system, the entire galaxy, the universe, and beyond!

Isaiah’s next words just get me. God inhabits eternity. He lives forever. He always has been and always will be. His reign had no beginning. It extends from eternity to eternity. Time is God’s creation and He rules over it. Time does not constrain Him, rather He constrains time.

The Hebrew word for “inhabit” is shekan. It is the same word used in Exodus 25:8-9 where God tells Moses, "Then have them make a sanctuary for me, and I will dwell among them. Make this tabernacle and all its furnishings exactly like the pattern I will show you.” God had the Israelites make a sanctuary or a tabernacle so that He could dwell among them or shekan among. Shekan means “the idea of lodging, to reside or permanently stay. Abide, continue, dwell, have habitation, inhabit, remain, lay, place, rest, set.” The verb shekan is derived from the noun form of the word “shekinah.” It means “the dwelling presence of God.” Wycliffe Bible Encyclopedia says it is “the visible divine presence.” God is omnipresent, but this presence indicates the fullness and the richness of His presence.

God desired to have a place where He could dwell among His people. Even though sin had come between the Holy God and man, God still desired to be with man, His prized creation, and to fellowship with him once again. Hebrews 8:5 tells us that this sanctuary was a shadow of the real thing in heaven where He shekans for eternity. God’s dwelling place is for all time.

Even though God dwells in this high and holy place, He also dwells with those who have a contrite and lowly spirit. In other words, He dwells with those who bend their knee to Him in adoration and repentance. Isn’t it beautiful that the God who inhabits eternity, all time, is also the God who comes close to you and me when our spirits are low and our hearts are contrite? He dwells with those who have their spirits crushed, and He revives their spirits. He restores those who don’t know how they can keep going on. He gets us on our feet again. When we are fatigued, in trouble, or broken, He revives and puts the pieces of our lives back together again. Through grief, loss, pain, sorrow, wanderings, and disbelief, our God who inhabits eternity, whose Name is Holy, will dwell with us and revive us to live for Him again and throughout eternity!

I have had some things happen lately that have crushed my spirit, brought a sick feeling to my stomach, and left me with the feeling of defeat. I have felt overcome by the enemy for seasons in my life. But GOD – oh what precious words to nullify everything that seeks to destroy me – But GOD who dwells in the high and holy place further than the farthest stretches of my mind AND with me is a contrite and lowly spirit.

He spans every dimension from His throne in the highest holy place to my heart. He covers the full range from being so close that His Spirit indwells me, to taking care of everyone and every sparrow on earth, to controlling our galaxy, our universe, and beyond. He goes from being bigger than my mind can handle to giving me the right word that I really needed. He is a great big God, but yet He is close enough to me to feel my pain. Oh, precious one, does it not just grab you, too, that the God Most High, El Elyon, is so close to you when you need to be revived and when you humble yourself before Him?

Pray with me: Oh, God, You inhabit eternity! You are the Alpha and Omega. You are the beginning and the end. Time is in Your hands. You are the King of Ages. You are just so much bigger than we can imagine. You never cease to stretch my mind. You span from Your holy throne in heaven to my heart and everywhere in between. I worship You, my God Most High, the Holy and Lofty One! Revive us! Breathe life into us! REVIVE us! It’s in the Name above all names, in Jesus’ Name, Yeshua’s Name, we pray. Amen.

Unmet Expectations

“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:7 How do you deal with your unmet expectations? How do you deal with the times like when the engagement ring never arrives or the pregnancy test doesn’t come back positive? How do handle it when you don’t have the successful career or perfect job? Or what about when you don’t get the accolades of people for your talents or the thankfulness for your service?  Or what about when you are hit with the reality that your children aren’t obedient, well-behaved, tidy, talented, or godly – or all of these things? Or when the doctor’s report collapses our plans for the future? Do you set your goals lower? For example a 20-something year old woman will set her criteria for a man as godly, attractive, good provider, funny, and athletic while a 90-something woman will set her criteria in a man as still breathing. Do you begin to think that you really aren’t all that? Do you fall into discontentment, disappointment, and jealousy? Do you complain? Is your voice bitter? Do you doubt your worth? Do you obsess over it? How do you handle it when life does not turn out like you had hoped?  The mind is the battlefield. Satan knows the value of a captured mind. If he can capture our minds, then he can defeat us. He can’t steal us from God once we are His children. However, he can steal our testimony and steal our worship. He knows that if he can control our thoughts, then he can control our minds. His aim is to infiltrate our minds with his thoughts. Remember, God’s Word says our weapons that we fight with are not of this world (Ephesians 6:12). We just have to out-truth the enemy. Believe God, decree His Word, and act upon the truth of God’s Word. Hebrews 5:14 (AMP) says that God’s Word should be used constantly as a steady, daily diet to shape our minds, senses, and mental faculties. Recently, I had the opportunity to put this battlefield technique into practice. Something happened that day that shocked me, hurt someone I dearly loved, and just didn’t seem fair. Because I was so crushed, it was all I thought about that day at work. I was playing the event over and over in my mind.  Before I went to sleep, I had said 1 Peter 5:7, “Lord, I cast this burden upon You,” but I woke up obsessing about it. I told God, “O Lord, I took it back from You. Gosh, I’m sorry.  Here, take it again. I give it back to You. I can’t handle this weight.” I did this repeatedly through the night and was ashamed that I kept taking back what I had cast to Him. The crushed feeling lasted for a couple of days until I realized this one wasn’t going to go away through praying the Scriptures that I held in my mind. It was time to sharpen that Sword and build a greater armory of weapons.  So I pulled out five laminated Scripture sheets and carried them with me as I drove, set one by the computer to review while it is booting up, and took them with me while I was waiting to pick up the kids. I bombarded my mind with some serious fire power, God’s Word. I read, studied, meditated, and memorized verses. Scriptures of praise filled my mind and overflowed from my mouth. I also prayed. I told God, “You take what the enemy is trying to press me with and hurt my loved one with, and You turn it into a blessing. I trust You to do this, God. Only You can turn our sorrow into dancing.” I was living by Philippians 4:6-8 which tells us not to be anxious about anything but to pray about everything and to take control of our thoughts. We are to not get obsessed and worry about one little thing or one great big thing!  But in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Then God’s Word promises that His peace, which transcends all understanding, will guard our hearts and our minds in Christ Jesus. Verse 8 tells us to think about “whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy. My thoughts are my choice just as your thoughts are your choice.  I consciously chose to change my thought pattern. I couldn’t see it from God’s point of view, but I could trust His point of view was better than mine. He uses all things for His glory. Dear friend, you and I must give God the weight and pick up our weapons. He wants us to be warriors and more than conquerors in Christ. Battles will come our way. If they were easy, then any nonbeliever could do it. They will be tough fights. They will push us to our limit so that we can see God working in us and through us. He has given us everything we need to be victorious. When our expectations are not met and our minds become a battlefield, let’s do what we have been trained to do. Let’s grip our swords and fight! Pray with me: Oh, Dear Heavenly Father, nothing is unexpected to You. Nothing surprises You or blindsides You. You know it all from the beginning. Help us to trust in Your plan for our lives. Teach us to handle it when life doesn’t turn out like what we expected. Help us to give You the weight and to pick up our weapon, the Sword of Truth. It’s in the Name above all names, in Jesus’ Name, Yeshua’s Name, we pray. Amen.

The Mount of Olives

By Shirley Mitchell

The first Wednesday of every month is to teach you about Jesus' return and the end of times so that we will know the signs of the times and be prepared.

"On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south."

Zechariah 14:4

When I travelled to our beloved Jerusalem, I stayed at a hotel on the top of the Mount of Olives. Our host Christine Darg decided to change our hotel just a few weeks before we flew to Israel. We switched from staying in the Old City to staying on the Mount of Olives overlooking the Old City at the 7 Arches Hotel. I think my three girlfriends and I became teenagers begin because we were beside ourselves. We just couldn't take it. We were actually going to stay on the Mount of Olives! Do you understand why it was such a thrill to us? What is the Mount of Olives, and why is so important?

Scripture is full of many things that happened on this mountain. All of these places that I am about to mention on the mount are so near to each other that the four of us could walk down from our hotel to these sites. Because we didn't have much time in Jerusalem, we visited all of these sites in one day. Don't imagine this mountain like the Rocky Mountains and that we had our full climbing gear and repelled down the mountain. It was quite comfortable to walk from one place to the other.

In Luke 19 as Jesus approached Jerusalem for the triumphal entry, He wept over Jerusalem on this mountain. He said beginning in verse 41, "As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it and said, "If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace-but now it is hidden from your eyes. The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side. They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of God's coming to you." Today, there is a church called the "teardrop" church, or its proper name the Dominus Flevit Church built over the spot. Dominus Flevit means "The cry of the LORD." That was a sad day on the Mount of Olives.

In Matthew 24, Jesus taught His disciples about the signs of His coming on this mountain. As they walked away from the temple, they sat down on the Mount of Olives. Jesus prophesied to them that this temple would be destroyed and not one stone would be left on the other. Then He gave them warnings about the days of deception and the signs of the end of the age.

At the foot of the Mount of Olives is the Garden of Gethsemane where Jesus spent His last night (Matthew 26:36). After Jesus had His Last Supper with the disciples, He crossed the Kidron Valley and went up the slope slightly to the foot of the Mount of Olives. Here, He poured out His heart to His Father in prayer and was betrayed into the hands of the religious leaders.

After Jesus' resurrection, He appeared to His disciples and other followers over a period of 40 days. His last appearance was on the Mount of Olives where He ascended into heaven. Acts 1 tells us of His ascension and prophecies His return. Verses 9-11say, "After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight. They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. 'Men of Galilee,' they said, 'why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.' "

You see, my dear friend, we were not just delighted that we were able to go and walk the land, sleep on the mountain where Jesus was. We were ecstatic and overjoyed because of what He will do one day. He is coming back to this mountain. When He comes this time, He won't be returning as Mary's baby boy, nor will He return as the Lamb who was sacrificed for our sins. This time He is coming as king.

Zechariah 14 prophecies about this day, the day of the LORD. Jesus will come as a mighty warrior who will fight in a great battle and be victorious. He will emerge as king over the whole earth. Verse 4 describes His return by saying, "On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south." When Jesus returns, His presence will be so noticeable and His power will be so forceful that the mountain is splitting in two when He sets His foot upon it.

While in Jerusalem as we were being driven or walking on that mountain, I kept thinking one day, it is going to be split in two. It's not always going to look this way. Half of it is moving to the north, and half is moving to the south. When King Jesus comes, a mountain splitting quake will announce His arrival. The King is back on the scene. He was holding back the first time so His power did not change the landscape, but this time the mountain is getting a redesign. Verse 8 goes on to tell us that, "On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half of it east to the Dead Sea and half of it west to the Mediterranean Sea, in summer and in winter." There will be a flow of water, a river, flowing out of Jerusalem to the Dead Sea and to the Mediterranean Sea. The terrain is a changing. Oh, how thrilling it was to walk that land and to know that someday Jesus will come again split that mountain in two! All will know that He is King!

Pray with me: Almighty God, we praise You! Some day Your Son will return. He will come back to the land where He taught His disciples, cried for Jerusalem, poured His heart out in prayer. This day will be bring Him great victory as He comes to rule over all the earth and be our King. This day the land will bow to its Creator and make way for our Sovereign Ruler. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! All of this we pray in the Name of the Jewish Messiah and the King of Glory, in Jesus' Name, Amen.
