We. Are now going to be in God's
Word right where we left off in Luke chapter 6.
We've been spending the summer weeks going through the sermon
on the plane, the the Luke version of Matthew's Sermon on
the Mount. And today we come to the second
part. Of what are called the
Beatitudes. So for the last four weeks we've
looked at all. Of these surprising or upside
down blessings for the people within God's Kingdom.
To expect a. Blessing that looks very
different than how? You would expect.
To be blessed in the ways. Of the world today, we'll look
at the opposite. Of the blessing, which is the
warnings. Wherever there is a blessing,
there is seemingly an equal and opposite warning for not living
the way. That Jesus describes.
And so to get our minds a picture.
Of what that? Looks like I'm mindful of this
cultural phrase. Maybe if you've heard it.
It's called. The script is.
Going to flip the idea that everything that we're doing
right now is going to turn on its head someday and that's
actually a. Cultural phrase.
Here's the. Definition when power dynamics.
Drastically shift. In the opposite direction, the
underdog. Becomes the hero and.
The one on top gets humbled. So I actually use this.
Very phrase in my household when I'm trying to console my
youngest. My youngest is our only son and
right now don't tell him I said this.
But he is the. Slowest and the weakest in our
whole family. And so there's times when he,
you know, he has to live in that reality and he's crying tears
of, you know, being the, the littlest and the slowest.
And I, I tell him, don't worry, you know, stay in there, hang in
there. Someday you're actually going to
be the fastest and the strongest.
So just be encouraged. And when that day comes, I want
you to use. Your power for good.
To use language he understands. I also.
Have to give a similar message at times to my oldest children
to remind them that in their current power dynamic they
should consider that it's not going to be.
That way forever. And so as sure as I have to
console the weakest, I also have to warn the strongest.
And I tell my oldest children, you know, there's coming today
when this little. Guy that you guys?
Pick on is going to be stronger and faster, so keep in mind.
That the script is. Going to flip and you might want
to start living according to what's coming and not just.
What is because? You know if.
If if he lives. Out in his flesh he may have
vengeance in his heart against you.
So be very mindful and, and, and with that in mind, this is in,
in a way, the message that Jesus is bringing to his people.
And some of you I know were encouraged.
To hear that your current. Lot in life is going to flip.
For for those of you who could. Relate to the sermon that said,
listen, if you're in a season of weeping, don't worry, that's
actually going to get turned into comfort.
If you're in a season of of hunger, desperation that that's
going to in the end, you're going to be filled.
And some of you may have heard those messages and thought
that's really not for me. I'm not really worried about
that. I'm in a season of actually I'm
pretty good. I come to church kind of
optional and I don't necessarily need any of this.
Well, for those of you who. Are so content in your current
lot, the message is not blessed. Are you?
It's be. Warned to not get too
comfortable in your current condition on this.
Earth, because there is. Coming a day when the current.
Lot that you live will be flipped.
Upside down. For better or worse.
And it is with that lens that you can understand the warnings.
And so today we'll look at a few of them.
And then next week we'll do the second part of the warnings.
So read along with me in Luke chapter 6.
We're now going to the. Woes of the Beatitudes.
Starting in verse 20. 4 But woe to you who are rich, for you
have received. Your consolation?
Woe to you who are full, for you shall.
Hunger and woe to you. Who?
Laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep, and then next week
we'll see woe to you when all men speak.
Well, of you, for so did their fathers to the false.
Prophets. These are completely and
perfectly mirroring every upside down blessing.
We now have an upside down warning using the word woe and
and for that word, not a. Word you you use.
Often, unless maybe you're you're in, you know, you train
horses or you ride horses. You might say woe is a way to
slow them down. I I I like.
What the new Living Translation says for this?
Word it says, what sorrow awaits you.
There's something that's happening in your current
comfort that's going to change and your comforts are going to
turn into sorrow. So we're.
Going to look at. Three of them.
We're going to look at the rich, the full and the laughing.
And each one of them will. Serve as a.
Lesson to examine your current law Do you consider your current
lot a blessing or a warning? And so he.
Says woe to you who are rich. And here's why for.
You have. Received your consolation if you
are enjoying the. The earthly lot.
That you have and all of your wealth and your earthly
comforts. Jesus says that's a warning
because that's going to be a. Reward there will be what you.
Have now is. What you.
Get in the end and that is a warning and and it's not
necessarily a condemnation. So in in no ways is this going
to be a message to condemn your bank account this morning.
I like how AW Tozer puts it, he says.
It is not. That riches are evil.
But they are dangerous. Because they.
Fool you into thinking you don't need God.
And I think as we journey this Christian walk, it's good to
know the difference between the category of evil and dangerous.
Riches are in the category of dangerous.
They can tempt you into the most dangerous thing that can happen
to your life, which is taking your.
Heart's Worship. Off God and worshipping
something. Of this world.
And the word consolation there is essentially saying it's
dangerous because instead of seeing God.
As your great reward. Instead of seeing what God.
Has for. You as the thing that you're
living your life to be comforted.
By you're actually. Seeing all the things you
already. Possess as your reward.
For this, this is not a a theme that will be left untouched in
the. Gospel of Luke as.
Jesus continues to to. Teach to the people he will.
Touch on this theme again and and and and for later in the
gospel. Of Luke Luke chapter 12 he
actually. Is going to give it to us in
parable form, so I find it. Helpful so that we.
Would know where Jesus repeats himself.
We should. Probably give double.
Lesson or double listen, and this is in the context in Luke
chapter 12. You can turn there.
It's in the context. Of of two brothers.
Arguing over their earthly inheritance, they're trying to
figure out. Who gets what?
Because, as they say, where there is a will, there is a
relative. And so in Luke.
Chapter 12 he's. Going to give an answer to them
in verse 16, says then he spoke. To them a parable.
A. Earthly story to help.
Us understand the heavenly truth.
And saying this, the ground of a certain rich man yielded
plentifully, and I have to pause.
Right there, just because. Some of us need to hear this
message as an antidote. That will lead you.
To some humility, Jesus. Right out the gate.
Gives us something we all need to hear.
Notice he's going to give us a whole.
Story about a wealthy. And rich man.
And he gives a message as to where the wealth comes from.
He says the ground of a certain rich man yielded.
See, every person, whoever acquires any treasure on earth,
is borrowing from God's economy. It was not the rich man isolated
from any reliance on. The the grace of.
God in his life, everything you have the word says is a good and
perfect gift from God. Whether you realize.
It or not, this Wretch man needed God's dirt and rich men
that are in this sanctuary right now needed God's wisdom and
God's ingenuity in your brain. You needed God's opportunity,
and there's nothing that we. Have that should cause.
In us a self of self governance and this is the danger that
Jesus is pointing out. So he profits off.
God's ground, and he thinks to himself.
What shall I do? Since I have no room to store up
my crops. So he said I will do.
This I will pull down my barns and build greater, and there I
will store all my crops and my goods.
Jesus is giving. The the the best picture of
wealth of his day. There there were no pantries and
bunkers filled with rice and ammo in that day.
So Jesus is is. Pointing out something that
would be obvious to his listeners.
This man has so much wealth in the form of.
Supply. And I and I only point that out,
lest we think that this message. Is for the select.
Few among us that would consider themselves the One percenters.
We are all. Blessed in the the day and era
that we live in that we don't even understand the.
Wealth that we have. And this is again, not to
condemn, but just to make us aware.
We have to be extra. Cautious of the temptation to
make. Our life about us.
And our things. So he's got crops and goods so
much that he needs to tear down 1 silo and put up one that can
handle more. Verse 19 says, and I will say to
my soul, soul, you have many goods laid up for many years.
Take your ease, eat, drink and be merry.
He's preaching the message to his own soul, praising his
condition in life and in this one little.
Phrase he says to his soul. You've got many years of.
Supplies laid up Eat. Drink and be merry.
We now have the. Woes that we've just discovered.
He's got enough wealth. To take off a couple years of
work. And he's just said, let's eat,
let's get full and let's be merry, let's laugh.
Here are all the. Woes in one parable, and for
this I will point out when we look at the the temptation to
love money. You have to ask yourself.
Why do people love money so much?
And one of the answers is seen in this little parable.
Money. Of all the things that you get
in your buying power, one of the most precious commodities.
That it offers you. Is time says, look, I've got so
much that. I've got years of.
Supply I can. Sit back for years.
And, and the temptation will come to you and say, man,
wouldn't it be nice? I had enough money where I could
just work a little less? Wouldn't that be?
I mean, we've all thought it and I don't think there's nothing
inherently wrong in it. But money does buy you time, and
it doesn't just. Buy you free.
Time. It buys you quality time, so not
only can you sit back and have your ease, you can do it at a
beach. Or for those of you who don't
like sand and ocean, you can go to the Arctic tundra.
I don't know why you would, but you can do some ice fishing.
Whatever. Your quality time looks like you
need money to get there and it can also Not only you did get
extra time quality time you get extended time.
Money is a great temptation because you know you just.
Look at all. The people who find themselves
with enough buying power to have it be disposable and they can
start buying back their youth, they can nip and tuck and pull
it all up and it's great for a time and you can even extend
your older years and you can afford.
The the the the best healthcare. With the best medicine, and this
is one of the reasons that it's such a dangerous trap, because
you're exchanging. The love of God for the love.
Of temporal time and surely no matter how much money you have,
the time that you. Bought for yourself is.
Nothing but a vapor. In fact, this will be part of
the lesson that Jesus says in this story.
It says in verse 20, But God said to him, fool, he had all
this money to buy all this extra time, but tonight.
Your soul will be required of you.
And then whose will those things be which?
You have provided he's got. The time is gone in a blink of
an eye and the treasure belongs to somebody else.
And this is the only recorded time that Jesus calls someone a
fool. You would be a fool to look.
At an earthly comfort that riches can buy you and stake.
All of your reward. On the here and now.
Jesus says so is. Anyone who lays up.
Treasure for. Himself and is not.
Rich towards God riches. Aren't evil, they are dangerous.
They give you this. Temptation that you can live a
good and healthy and productive. Life.
Apart from the only thing you were actually.
Created to do which is to. Seek and love God with
everything you have. Woe to you who are rich for.
What you have now is your only reward, and it will be gone in a
vapor, and the treasures will belong to someone else.
And now we look at the next. Category of full.
Verse 25. The second part?
Woe. To you who are full for you.
Shall hunger, You know, there's certainly a an element to this,
that Speaking of physical hunger, physical hunger.
Is a great spiritual teacher because this is just obviously
true. In the.
Everyday way that we all have to wrestle.
With the hunger pains of life, you guys are second service, so
you might be feeling them right now.
Every one of us. No matter how much you eat after
church. No matter.
What your fill is Whatever buffet.
Then all you can eat can you can go to after church.
All of us by tomorrow are going to hunger again you.
Your earthly and physical hunger is a reminder that you will not
be. Satisfied.
In the end, and physical hunger is a great.
Spiritual Teacher. In fact, the Apostle Paul will
will warn people of those who make their whole pursuit on on
this side of heaven. Earthly.
Appetites, and he actually uses physical hunger as a.
Picture of this look what he says.
To the church in in. Philippi Chapter 3 verse. 18 He
says for many walk, of whom I've told you often and now tell you,
even weeping, that they are the enemies of the.
Cross of Christ. Whose end is destruction?
Whose? God is their belly.
And whose glory is their shame? Who set their mind on earthly
things? Thomas Watson said.
The belly makes a terrible. God, it's always.
Hungry and never satisfied. And the Apostle Paul.
Says there are those. Who are the enemies of Christ?
That are so. Set on earthly things.
That they're just. Living for the earthly appetites
and one of the great challenges to the Christian walk to
following Jesus will be to come into a season of your life.
Where you try to. Be satisfied and filled by an
earthly appetite. It is clearly seen in the
culture that we must. Preach the gospel to that we
have a. Culture that is looking.
To be filled. For an appetite of earth, I just
I, I, I. Could give a whole.
Series on earthly appetites and what we see in culture.
But for the purpose of. This morning.
Let's just talk about two categories that we all have.
To wrestle with and we can all. See, our culture is.
Dying to be filled in that is simply pleasure and
entertainment. They are both pictures of what
it would look. Like to be tempted to just find
your fill in those two categories, and they're both
clearly the warning that you cannot find satisfaction by
filling up on pleasure, sex and entertainment starting with.
With pleasure we have. Right now a generation that are
giving us the returns on the. Lie that was preached 40 or 50
years ago. When a message went out that.
Said have your fill. Remove all boundaries for
pleasure seeking in. What God had.
Designed for sex between a man and a woman in a covenant
relationship called marriage and our.
Culture said well, what if we. Could just have as much as we
wanted with whoever we wanted for whenever we wanted and the
only real sin would be to tell someone else they're doing it
wrong. Sound sound like a
representation of the culture we live in.
And yet woe to them who? Try to be full.
From that or think they are. Great sorrow awaits.
Because we now see the return on that lie and we are watching a
generation. That has tried.
And been attempting to. Fill up with pleasure.
Turn and say we're depressed, we're lonely, and we're empty.
Listen to this from the book Tech Wise Family by Andy.
Crouch Our culture has separated sex.
From intimacy and commitment, and in doing so, we've created
an experience of connection. That leaves us.
Lonelier and emptier than ever. As I said, some need to hear the
woe. If you think you come to church
and you need no repentance or reform from the way you're
living, your. Life because it all.
Seems to be working out if you are living in the cultures
definition of what God's design is for when it comes.
To sex great sorrow awaits. That is a great warning just
hanging over the sanctuary and some of you know.
That all too well. And and have experienced God's
grace on the other side of that. What about the?
Appetite for entertainment a belly makes.
A horrible God. Always hungry, never satisfied.
You know I'm old enough now to say I'm old enough to remember.
You know, now that I'm 45I, I can live out some looking back
to the way things used to be. I'm old enough to remember when
a family only had a small collection of movies, and
that's. All you could watch.
And I remember our little collection, it was like, well,
we got about 20. I felt pretty rich back then.
And if we wanted to watch a movie, we chose from those 20.
And if if we didn't want to watch them, then we went
outside. And you just compare to the
offering the world lives in now. You can watch any movie at any
time at the push of a button. And the same with television.
I'm old enough to remember when around midnight, the thing just
stopped working. They didn't keep programs 20.
I mean, I remember I'd watch and then it would just scramble.
It was like, go to bed. Now there's nothing else to
watch. And now it's just this infinite
loop of entertainment. The same with sports.
There used to be. Seasons now every sport is year
round and what is the return? The return is we feel less
entertained than ever, more bored and more dissatisfied and
more empty in all of our consumption.
We were told we'd be filled. And we are now empty.
There's actually a an actual kind of definition for this.
It's. Called post pleasure void.
Maybe you've experienced it a. Phrase used to describe the
hollow. Sinking feeling after an over
indulging in things like pornography.
Food. Online shopping and scrolling on
your phone. Have any of you experienced the
post? Pleasure, Void, all of these
ways to be filled up. And we have a generation that
feels empty. Woe to you who are.
Full now. Great sorrow awaits.
This is not a cultural problem. This is a spiritual problem.
There is nothing new under the sun.
There's actually an entire. Book of the Bible.
That is wrestling with the earthly appetites, not working.
Ecclesiastes chapter 2 written by Solomon, the the wealthiest
man in the world. He had his fill.
And the lesson is the world could not.
Fill his soul. Says in chapter 2, whatever my
eyes desired, I did not keep from them.
I did not withhold my heart from any pleasure.
My heart rejoiced in all my labor, and this was my.
Reward. I looked.
At all my works and all that I'd done and all that I'd toiled,
and indeed all was vanity. It was like grasping at the
wind. You cannot fill your heart and
your mind with anything. That will satisfy you.
Apart from the love and the pursuit of God and His perfect.
Will for your life. Which brings us to the final
warning or woe, which is laughing.
Woe to. You who?
Laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep.
It's a reversal of those who. Weep in the Kingdom of God,
trusting God. With their heart.
They're going to be comforted. But there are those who look at
the the state of the world and the state of their life.
And they use laughter as a medicine to distract them from
the deeper. Truths of God, Jesus.
Is not anti laughter. Jesus has a great.
Sense of humor and he gives. Joy to, to us to to.
Enjoy life with the warning is that if.
You are so focused. On finding all.
Everyday your life's. Joy and happiness, no matter
what, that God could never break your.
Heart for what breaks his. That you could never hear a
message about repentance and actually have a softened heart
to turn God with weeping. Tears.
Great sorrow weights. There's so much of, you know,
pastoral ministry. That I get to.
See this happen on this side of heaven.
There's so many things that you know, I hope you've experienced
in your ministering to one another or even the comfort you
found in the body of Christ, so many of the tears in the
pastoral ministry that I comfort.
Started with laughter. You know, if I could categorize
some pastoral ministry. It would be the category.
Of just heartbreak when relationships fall apart.
The category of. Addiction when when something
you go down a road that you cannot break free from, you
become a slave to a substance. The category of life.
Crisis, financial crisis, and so many times where you're
ministering to tears, you hear a.
Story that started with the world.
Offering a little bit of laughter.
Nobody walks into a relationship to get their heart broke.
It starts with. The the throes of pleasure.
Nobody goes to a party and and and says yes to something that
God says no to thinking they're going to get.
Addicted. They're there for.
The fun and nobody's spending, you know, money and, and, and
going out on on a limb financially thinking that
they're actually going to go into some great debt and the
bill is going to come. It turns into tears.
But it starts as. Laughter.
I think of, you know, one of the very first mission trips I got
to go on. We actually went to Amsterdam,
which is famous for its red light.
District. And we stayed there long enough
to try to form real and meaningful relationships with
some of the prostitutes and some of them.
We did. We had.
Real friendship and and real times to eat together.
It was not just window dressing and there was there was one
woman in particular that became kind of a friend of our group
and and she told us the journey because it's so challenging to
try to bring the. Gospel to a life.
That you can see is so broken and yet they still.
Reject the love of. God and she said, you know when
you first start out. Every one of these.
Girls came from a country that was so.
Poor a life. Circumstance that was so broken
that when they first. Start out.
They actually love it. It's actually.
Filled with more money than they've ever made, more people
giving them attention than they've ever.
Received they can be. Helpful to family sending money
back. It starts with laughter.
But it ends in tears and it's such an extreme example, but
that is my message. To all of us.
When we hear the seriousness of sin in our lives, it will come
to you in the form of laughter. But.
Great sorrow awaits. I was last week we did.
Blessed are the rejected. And so.
Right the the last. Blessing before today was.
Blessed are those who are hated so as I was.
Praying through that message. I decided to go.
For a midnight walk on Saturday night to downtown Boise.
So I could just. See, you know the the, the, the
world that we live in and the. The world, that is.
Downtown and partying and having fun.
It was so interesting because I actually came across a street.
Preacher. Midnight.
Boise, ID you got. Everybody going to party and
there was. A street preacher.
And he came with a message to say very simply, I am here to
let you know. That God loves you.
He loves you too much to say dead in your sins.
He loves you too much to pursue things that won't satisfy you.
He he came with this message where you're going will not end
well. And it it.
It was so. Striking to me how?
Real it is. So often.
That is, I just sit back stood. Back and watched the majority of
the reaction some. Hatred.
And a lot of laughter. What a fool.
All these people are going to have fun.
They're going to meet new friends and enjoy pleasure and
spend the money they worked hard to make.
They're going to laugh. He was weeping.
And the question that divides this sermon in your.
Life. Who's the fool?
Who is the fool? In that picture the way you
answer that question. Is actually the way you?
Answer the question of eternity. Because the Apostle Paul says
if. Christ has not risen.
If death is the end, if there is no life beyond this life, then
the fool. Is the street preacher.
Eat, drink, be merry, go out on Saturday nights and have fun.
I saw some of you doing that. I won't say who, I'm just
kidding. Something like is it me?
Eat, drink and be merry. The the question is.
What do you believe? Is the final reward if there is
no resurrection, if there is no eternal reward to preach a
message with? Tears that, people.
Are wasting their life. He's the fool.
And yet. The Apostle Paul says you.
Sing with your. Worship.
Open the eyes of my heart, Lord, singing to Jesus, because He's
in our presence with the faith of those who don't.
Believe, but look forward to the future day.
You believe in the power of the rest of the resurrection, which
means. That the actual fool.
Is the one who's living their life for the here and now.
The. Actual fool is living.
As though this is the reward of life.
Go make money so you can spend money and find some pleasure and
take. Your ease because this is all
you have. Another quote from Thomas
Watson. It's not that riches.
Food or laughter are. Evil.
It's when they replace the dependence on God, they become
dangerous, eternally dangerous. Jesus is warning against
building a life on temporary comfort and reward, with no
regard for eternal reality and final reward.
The. Blessings only work in light of
eternity, and the woes are only dangerous if eternity is real.
So really the only question that this sermon.
Forces us to ask is what? Reward motivates your life.
What? Is the reward that you will
stake your life? On Is it to find some money to
have enough pleasure so that you can laugh through the pain?
Or is it to press? On to the final reward of
eternal riches. Eternal.
Joy. And eternal laughter?
What? Sorrow awaits we already.
Referenced Paul's message to the church in Philippi when he
talked about those who are not living for.
Jesus, really just. Living for.
The God of the belly, but he also.
Says in that same passage, Brethren, I do not count myself
to have apprehended but one thing I do, forgetting those
things which are behind, and reaching forward to those things
which are ahead, I press towards the.
Goal of the Prize of the Upward. Call of God in.
Christ Jesus he was. Determined that there was no
money that could buy him from stopping the mission of.
The Gospel of Christ. There was no comfort that was
going to get him away from pushing.
Forward for what Christ laid. Hands on him to do and I will.
Say the greatest. Challenge of our journey with.
Jesus. The greatest challenge of what
we're doing right now is to remember that we have not
arrived. We have not arrived.
This is not heaven, as great as it is to be in church and to
fellowship with one another and and love God.
Together. We must press on and reject all.
Comforts both religious. And worldly.
That the world will throw at us for those of you who are
stirred. By this message and you think
man, I don't want to fall into a warning, I want to stay in the
blessing. I just want to get very
practical with some things that maybe you can offer the Lord.
To give you. To give him your heart and your
mind in these matters when it comes to the warning against
earthly. Riches, there's actually a
great. Spiritual practice that can keep
us from falling into that pit. That you would.
Live for earthly things in your own lot and in the treasures
that you can build. Up for yourself.
And that is to simply practice generosity, to practice using
the resources and the time and the possessions and the money
that God has given you from the increase of the ground that you
stand on when you practice generosity.
It is a discipline to say, my real treasure isn't this stuff
so I can give it to people who need it.
Practicing generosity is one way to continually.
Cultivate a heart that. Stays in the blessing and for
the warning against being too. Full.
I think. All of us.
Maybe. Felt a little bit of holy.
Spirit Nerve. We talked about the
entertainment culture we live in.
We've. Probably all had our moments
where we felt the void of scrolling our phone too long, or
staring at a screen for too long, or being passionate about
sports more than we are about the Kingdom.
There's a spiritual practice for that as well, Jesus says.
Win you. Fast.
He doesn't say if you. Fast, he says.
When you do it, when you when you take part in this exercise
to continually practice removing yourself from the appetite.
Of this earth so. Fasting can be from food and
you, you say, OK, I'm going to skip lunch and dinner and just
reorientate, reorientate my appetite to spiritual things.
I want to read the word. I'm going to spend time in
prayer over a lunch break. And you can also spend dedicated
time away from your phone in your screen and you can turn off
the radio and you can just. Reset.
The engines on your pursuit of God, and then it says.
Woe to those who laugh, Great sorrow awaits.
Well, we talked about this. In the sermon on weeping for
those of us who want to. Have that healthy.
Weeping heart we can continue to pray the prayer God break my
heart for what breaks yours and Noah already mentioned it, but
we send out. Prayer requests as a church body
daily. And one of the.
Great ways that. You can overcome the the
temptation to just make this whole.
Life. An antidote on laughing so you
never. Feel is to.
Learn the power of intercessory prayer because when you when you
look at the prayer requests that will come in starting tomorrow
all throughout the week, you'll find that there's not a lot.
To laugh about. There's a lot to pray about.
There's a lot to trust God over. There's a lot to hope for.
But if we can just take a moment to be reverent and say, God,
these are your people and we're going to present them to you
because we know that you. Have the power to.
Heal and to provide. And the fervent prayer.
Of the righteous. Will avail much and you will be.
Free. From getting sucked into.
The the perspective that this. Whole thing is fun and games, so
you can practice generosity, you can practice fasting, you can
practice intercessory prayer, and I'll just end with a final
word. For all of us to just refocus.
How we answer the question What motivates your life?
What? Reward Are you living for for
the here and now, or for the eternal promise Paul will end?
That that. Portion of scripture to the
church in Philippi when he says. Our.
Citizenship is in heaven, from which?
We also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Listen to this reward who will transform our.
Loadly body. That it may be conformed.
To his glorious body. According to the work, the
working by which he is able to even subdue all things to
himself, He's going to transform our weakness into glory.
He's going to subdue all things to himself.
In other words, the Kingdom of heaven, it's going to come in
such a way that the power dynamics and the struggles and
the suffering are going to be flipped upside down, and the
ultimate script is going to flip.
Amen. Let us pursue.
God in such. A way this week that we pursue
that reward. Thanks for joining us today.
