It's wonderful to be here with all of you.
Today, we have a wonderful crowd here for which we are thankful.
We have quite a few visitors that are here too, and we would
hope that you would feel as you are.
And that is our honored guest, I hope and pray that what we have
to consider for a little while. Today would be both edifying and
encouraging to you. As you can see, I have on the
screen, the title of our lesson. And it's entitled truly blessed.
Just, you know, I think it's neat.
When you go up to someone and you ask them how they're doing,
I think it's neat. When they say, well, I'm
blessed. I think it's a great mindset.
I think it's a great attitude when people say that they're
blessed, because when you say you're blessed, you take all of
the emphasis off of yourself and you put the emphasis on somebody
else. And obviously, when people say
that I am blessed, what they're saying is they're saying I'm
enjoying the blessings in my life.
Life that have come from God and may I say before we go any
further, the Bible says that every good and perfect gift is
from above, that means this, everything that's good in life.
Every blessing that's good in life, is because of God.
But what I want to do today for just a little while, I want to
talk about what Jesus said about being truly blessed.
In fact, it was so important in Matthew Chapter 5, Jesus,
devotes 12 verses there on the subject of what it really means
to be truly blessed. As we begin, we notice Matthew
Chapter 5. And we'll study verses 3 through
8. This morning.
Jesus says, blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the
kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn for
they shall be? Comforted blessed, are the meek
for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for
they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful for
they shall obtain mercy. And finally blessed are the pure
in heart for they shall see God. These verses are often times
referred to as the Beatitudes and may.
I say that when you discuss the idea of the Beatitudes we must
interpret. Every one of these from a
spiritual perspective, if we deviate from a spiritual
perspective, will lose the context and we'll lose the
meaning. So, we're talking about things
that Jesus dealt with. In fact, he actually is giving
us spiritual requirements for citizens, Of the Kingdom.
Now, interestingly about the word Beatitudes.
I don't know about you but when I was a kid I thought.
That Jesus was saying that Beatitudes meant these are
attitudes that we need to be or ways we need to be.
So therefore we've come up with this word be attitudes, but, you
know, that's not what that's talking about it at all.
In fact, all we got to do is look at the very first word and
that is the word blessed. And the word blessed comes from
a Latin word. Be at us.
Be at Ty is the plural form of that word, and it means, In the
Greek, it means happy fortunate and Blissful.
So what Jesus is saying, is Jesus is using the word blessed.
And, by the way, that's where we get the word Beatitudes is
talking about blessings is talking about being fortunate,
and happy and Blissful. Jesus, actually uses it to
symbolize happiness. That is based on pure character
and holiness. Yes, I must say that again.
Jesus is using this word blessed to symbolize happiness.
That is based on pure character and Holiness.
One scholar. Wrote The Following.
He said, scriptural blessedness is not based on outward
circumstances or superficial feelings, but in the reality
that one is dedicated to God and is approved by him to be
approved by God once. Life must be molded by the
principles in his word. So all that being said the
Beatitudes, teach us about faith.
How to have faith in how to be a person of faith.
And if we're going to have faith, it has to have a
beginning. Have you ever considered that
faith has to have a beginning? We talked about sometimes people
don't have enough faith. But faith is something that has
to have a beginning. And it does Matthew Chapter 5 is
the great Sermon on the Mount. Jesus begins with the first
thing that it begins with is being poor in spirit in Matthew
Chapter, 5 and verse 3. Jesus says, blessed are the poor
in spirit. Now, the word poor can often
times be a very relative term. For example, I might be poor
compared to somebody. That's wealthy.
But it's relative. If I go to a third world
country, I may seem Rich next to them.
So sometimes we can use the word poor, and it's very relative,
another words compared to what, but the word that's found in
this passage pool or is not a relative term.
It's a word that literally means to be destitute crouching,
cowering and cringing. What an interesting definition
me. Tell you what, it means what
we're talking about is from a spiritual perspective.
Jesus said that blessed are those that are poor or destitute
in spirit. Does that mean that you think
bad about yourself that you put yourself down that you hate
yourself? Absolutely.
Not what you're saying though is you're saying that I am
absolutely nothing without Jesus from a spiritual perspective.
You are destitute. Toot spiritually me.
Give you the flip side of when that didn't happen.
Remember in John chapter 8 Jesus was dealing with those Pharisees
and he said I'm going away and you will look for me but you
won't find me because where I go you can't come and they said
well he's going to kill himself because he's saying where he's
going. We can't come remember all that.
What was the problem? They didn't realize they had a
sin problem. They didn't need Jesus.
They didn't recognize the fact that the only way to get to God
is Jesus Christ, they weren't poor in spirit and Jesus told
them you're going to die in your sins.
Jesus said the only way to the father is through the Sun.
So everybody, everybody has to come to the realization.
I'm nothing without Jesus. I need Jesus in my life.
It is the beginning of Faith. But then there's more we go to
the next verse. And Jesus talks about mourners
Now, I have to mention this before we go any further. if
you're a child of God and you're hurting, Is God there for you?
He certainly is. If you lose a loved one and you
stand over a newly made grave of a loved one.
And you mourn and you ask of God for help.
Does he help you? Yeah, sure does.
Is that what this is talking about?
No, remember, we are dealing with a spiritual perspective, so
let's just stay with me on this, in verse 4.
Blessed are those who mourn? And you know, what's interesting
about the word mourn. There's nine different words
that could be translated in the New Testament.
Nine different words that describe someone's sorrow of all
the words that can be translated from sorrow.
Throw the word that is found here from the original for morn
is the strongest of every one of them.
It literally means something that is great.
It's talking about something that is difficult.
It's talking about something that is hurtful but spiritually
speaking, what's he talking about?
He's talking about this. He said, blessed are those that
more now from a spiritual perspective?
Here's the answer. Blessed are those that mourn
over their sin? You know what that means.
It means you have Godly sorrow in that great because that leads
to repentance. You change your life.
It begins by being poor in spirit.
I'm nothing without Jesus. I need Jesus in my life.
I see that. I have sin in my life.
I see that Jesus died on the cross for those sins.
I want to be saved in that great.
So what do you do? You have Godly sorrow over your
sin? Now, let me just say this,
wouldn't it be awful if there was no solution?
Wouldn't it be absolutely terrible if you recognized?
You were in sin but there was no solution, you know what Jesus
said. Blessed are those who mourn over
their sin for they will be comforted.
How is that? Because there's an answer.
Look at the answer. 1st Peter 3:21.
This is the King James rendering of this verse.
I like it. I like how it reads in the King
James. The like figure, whereunto even
baptism doth also. Now, save us, not the putting
away the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience
toward God, by the resurrection of.
Jesus Christ. Why are you going to be
comforted? Because there's an answer.
There's an answer be baptized for the remission of your sins.
But what about after that? Are you going to sin?
Yeah. Are you going to make mistakes?
Yes, you are. In fact, the Bible says that a
man that says he has no sin is the liar and the truth is not in
him. So, we understand that.
And in 1st John, we also learned that when we sin, we have an
advocate with the father that's Jesus Christ.
So, here's the great answer. We contact the blood of Jesus at
Bay Baptism We rise to walk in newness of life.
That is Comfort to us understanding.
We got rid of our sins but you know what?
We're going to make mistakes. So here's something else we get
to do this when you sin after that, in first John 1 and verse
9. If we confess our sins, he's
faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from
all unrighteousness. That's the answer.
So blessed are those that mourn over their sin with Godly
sorrow. Leading to repentance, they're
going to be comforted, there's an answer.
That's great stuff. What else?
What about the meek You know, sometimes people think Meek is
weak. But it's not.
It is the absolute ultimate of strength.
Do you know why? Because it's the only thing that
we can do. It's not a timid thing.
It's not a it's not a weak thing.
It's something that we do by choice.
And have you ever stopped to consider any time in your life?
Where their submission from you at all?
That took a choice and that took strength What about meekness?
What Jesus say, blessed are those that are Meek that are
meek for, they shall inherit the earth?
What's it mean? To be meek?
And by the way, it's an act of strength because it's a choice,
it means this be gentle. Be humble.
Consider it mild unassuming and courteous.
Every one of those are attributes that the child of God
is supposed to have, right? So Jesus said, blessed are the
meek for they shall inherit the earth.
Now obviously, it doesn't mean this Earth, and it doesn't mean
that if you are Meek, you're going to have a big windfall of
Finance, finances role. In your way, doesn't mean that
it All in fact, the language could actually be translated for
they shall inherit a allotted portion of land. and when the
children of Israel promised the land of Canaan, physical Canaan,
It's worth reference to that, it's the language of that, but
we're not talking about literal physical land.
Now we're talking about spiritual applications.
So spiritual Canaan is heaven. What is Jesus saying?
He said, blessed are those that are meek for, they will inherit
their allotted portion in heaven.
Great blessings. So, that's the beginning of
Faith, but then there's more, there's more.
There's the growth of faith and, you know, you've heard me preach
on the subject of Faith, before many times over the years and
then one phrase when Jesus said, you have to have the faith of a
mustard seed. Remember that.
And what it was talking about is Jesus wasn't saying if you just
have a tiny little bit of Faith, they had that I Mustard Seed is
very small. What Jesus was Saying is he was
saying, you have to go back to what the principle of the
mustard seed is. And that is those starting off
very small. It grows to Greatness.
Your faith has to grow. So there's the beginning of
Faith, but then there has to be the growth of faith and Jesus
calls that this hungering and thirsting for righteousness.
That's what he calls that your faith has to grow hungering and
thirsting for righteousness. Matthew Chapter 5 Verse 6.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst?
After righteousness, for they will be filled.
Now, go back in your mind, the We first one we said, write
blessed are the poor in spirit what you're saying is from a
self-righteous standpoint, you get rid of it all and you got a
void, okay? Then in this one you fill the
void with the righteousness of God and that's part of growth.
You fill it with that. You take away self-righteousness
and you fill it with the righteousness of God.
You start being different. In addition to this though, not
only the growth of Faith, the maturing of Faith, the maturing
of faith. And the first thing he lists is
being merciful. Matthew 5 and verse 7.
Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain Mercy.
Now there's a little reciprocal law here. and really, if you
think about it is very sobering, if I am going to have the mercy
from God, then I have to have the qualification Allah tea or
the characteristic of being merciful.
Sometimes people are not merciful to others.
Sometimes, people demonstrating no mercy.
Sometimes people come and they ask for forgiveness, but you
don't extend any Mercy. Sometimes you sit back and you
think? Yeah.
Well, we'll see. Little side note here, have you
ever stopped to consider that when it comes to your own
personal? Forgiveness of someone else,
there are no requirements. Have you ever considered that?
The person does not have to ask for forgiveness, for you to
forgive them? How do I know that?
I'm a name? Drop a good one.
Jesus Christ on the cross, father forgive them for they
know not what they do. When Stephen was being stoned to
death, he said lay not this sin to their charge, don't you get
it? When you let somebody you're
letting yourself off the hook. You're not going to be
negatively influenced by it anymore.
What are you doing? Showing Mercy.
Two things. Matthew chapter 7 talks about
how you judge somebody and whatever Mercy, you have
whatever Mercy you don't have the same is coming back to you,
right? But think of it this way.
If I'm going to be merciful, I get Mercy back from God I need
that. So do you number two?
Here's a practical benefit. If I'm a person that shows Mercy
to everybody else, don't you think that people are going to
probably do the same for me? Maybe not in every case, but for
the most part, people usually return.
Goodness, with goodness. Jesus, dealt with those things.
Mercy from God, and also, Mercy from others.
So, we have the beginning of Faith, the growth of faith, and
the maturing of faith, Here's another one for the maturing of
faith, and that's pure in heart in Matthew 5.
And 8 blessed are the pure in heart for, they shall see God.
You know, at some point in life, one scholar said, each of us
must decide. What is the highest joy for the
thing? That Delights us and directs us.
What? We are determines, how much we
enjoy and what we have and what we do.
So the heart of man determines who and what he is it is his
identity and who we are and what we are, determines our life Now,
the Gospel of Jesus Christ is concerned about the heart, all
the emphasis is placed on the heart.
Now, I read not long ago, and I thought it was interesting and I
got to tell you, I did go and confirm it.
I Googled it, you know, we live in a Google age.
What if I find out anything is Google it.
So I Googled it and I came up with some sources and what I'm
going to tell you is true. There was a scientist and he
wrote an article, I read the article first and the article
said that the snowflake which looks pure on the outside and is
often times a symbol of Purity on the outside.
Every single snowflake has something in common.
There's a speck of dirt at its core on the inside.
I thought well surely not. So I looked it up many sources
confirmed the same thing, so maybe you're sitting there
thinking, wait a minute. Wait a minute.
You're just proving your point. No I'm not.
I what I'm saying is this the snowflake appears on the outside
to be one way. But what we're talking about in
reality is it's dirty at its core.
We're talking about what is at the core and when it comes to
human beings, at the same thing, what we are at our core when you
look behind, or beneath the facade, Gabe gave a lesson the
other night couple Wednesday's ago and he dealt with tearing
down the facade and he was right.
That's my point right now, too. What we are in the outside can
be perceived as one thing, but what God does is God looks on
the heart. God looks on the inside.
That's what God cares about on the inside.
Look beneath the facade or the dressing amateur Faith, reflects
the change, get this in someone who recognizes his tremendous
need for God. And who has sought him with
intense desire, Faith changes. A person on the inside.
If G, if Christianity has it changed your life, you got some
work to do, Jesus has to change your life and Jesus called Here,
pure in Heart. Another words the result is not
a cover, but it's a reflection of the image of God, that's in
our hearts, and is determined by what we are inside.
Just some defining terms here, what does it actually mean to be
pure? It means to be cleansed or
purified. Please get this when I say pure,
I'm not saying perfect. And if a person is thinking that
they're going to be perfect, it's not going to happen.
And if a Christian has set aside a standard before they become a
Christian, for example, that I could never be that good, I
could never be perfect. Therefore, I won't obey the
gospel and try to serve God. You're missing the whole point.
It's not a matter of being perfect.
It's a matter of being cleansed and purified.
It is unmixed with the things of the world, the worldly things,
the fleshly things, the sinful things in life.
Unmixed. When we combine the things of
the world with the things in Jesus Christ, you know what
we're doing, we're actually putting oil and water together,
they don't mix. Remember last Lord's day, I
talked about fear, overcoming fear and I said faith and fear
are at odds with each other. They are.
So you cannot be a person of faith.
If you're a person of fear, what drives you So when you are a
Christian you have the things that we have in Christ and were
cleansed and purified. We keep those worldly things
outside. We keep them away from us.
You know, why they don't work. They don't go together.
They're like oil and water. little example, I don't have
time to go in these passages but in Matthew 23, Remember when
Jesus says, woe to you scribes and Pharisees Hypocrites, first
cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish.
But inside they're full of extortion, and self-indulgence
blind Pharisees, first cleanse, the inside of the cup and the
dish and that the outside may be clean.
Also, we all know that K. If you're going to clean the
dish, don't just buff the outside.
You got to clean the inside. How do you do that?
Submerge it in the water. Clean the inside.
It takes care of the outside. Okay.
There's something else though, that they would have understood
when Jesus said those words. The cup and dish that he was
referring to. They were not just some ordinary
cup and dish. In the time, historically around
when Jesus said that, Jesus was referring to a very special cup
and a very special dish. It was the cup and dish that
were used to serve Delicacies. So, in other words, you've got
some dinner going on. You got some function, going on,
and everybody's there, all the guests are there.
Here, come the servants out and they have a cup and a dish.
The ones were talking about right here.
Everybody knew here, it comes. Here comes the Delicacies.
You know, Jesus says, nope that's not you.
You appear to be one thing on the outside but that's not you
inside, you are extortion and self-indulgence.
So, the basic idea is that of Integrity singleness of heart as
opposed to duplicity and a double heart, a divided heart
You know, the Bible says that a double mantid mind.
Is unstable in all his ways. Sometimes people struggle.
Because they can't choose a side.
They can't pick a lane. You got to pick a lane.
You got to choose a lane. Years ago in high school, back
in the 1980s. Seems like a million years ago.
I was running a track meet And this guy named Corey Ziegler,
never ran a track meet in his life.
And it was actually one of the funniest things you've ever
seen, but he lines up, we're going to run the 400 meter,
hated that race about kill you. And you take off and it's really
a 400-meter Sprint. It's wide open your dead at the
end. Cory Ziegler for some reason
like started in and outside Lane.
The gun went off. We went around the first turn of
here. He comes, he comes barreling in
all the way to Lane one, and then he drifts out there by the
lane for, and then back in and back out, he did that the whole
time he came in first, he thinks I won.
No, he didn't compete lawfully. He was disqualified.
Because he couldn't pick a lane. Let's not let that be for us
folks, as Christians, don't be disqualified because you can't
pick a lane. Keep the things of a world where
they belong and choose Jesus and pick a lane.
Pick a lane singleness of heart is clear clean purpose of heart
that keeps us and helps us. It keeps the things that are in
the world out of our life. If we're struggling on the
outside, maybe it's because we're struggling on the inside.
Okay, now, at this point in time, we have to talk about the
heart, the heart of the Bible, we've dealt with various aspects
of it. This lesson, we'll tie it all
together. This is everything that the
Bible describes about the heart. Because we hear that a lot.
We hear people say, oh, I feel it in my heart.
We hear people say this is about your heart.
I love with you all my heart. So, let's talk about that in the
Bible. The heart is described in
several ways. Number one, it describes
emotions now, You cannot take emotion out of the picture and
if a person thinks they're going to live the Christian Life as a
robot with no emotion, you're kidding yourself.
What good is that what good is that?
But when we say that we have emotions what we're saying is we
can never be guided or directed by our emotions.
It's not good enough. We're Guided by the word of God.
We follow what the word of God says, and we do so with every
fiber of our being even our Emotions.
Here's a couple of passages that uses the word as described as
emotions, John 14 and one, let not your heart, be troubled, you
believe in God believe. Also in me, here's that fear
Faith thing again. Don't Be Afraid have faith.
So he says, don't let your heart be troubled that your emotions.
Don't Be Afraid. What else do?
Another one? Nehemiah two and two, therefore
the king said to me, why is your face sad?
Since you are not sick? This is nothing but sorrow of
the heart, that's emotion. That's emotion.
But sometimes also heart is intellect or it's the mind in
Mark chapter 2 and verse 8 and immediately when Jesus perceived
in his spirit that they reasoned thus within themself, he said to
them. Why do you reason about these
things in your hearts? Now here, he's not talking about
emotion, he's not talking about feeling what he's saying is.
Why do you reason these things in your Mind sometimes heart in
the Bible is mind or intellect. Here's another passage in
Hebrews 4:12. For the Lord, for the word of
God is living and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword
piercing. Even to the division of Soul,
and Spirit and of joints and Marrow, and is a discerner of
the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Also sometimes you know what it is.
It's the will of man, it's your will.
How many times have we said? God does not take away, free
will. It's true.
There were two beings that were created with Freewill one, Where
Angels and the other is man. All other aspects of nature.
Don't have free, will we have free will?
And sometimes the heart is referred to as or described as
the will of man in Daniel chapter 1 in verse 8.
I love this, but Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not
defile himself with the portion of the Kings Delicacies, nor
with the wine, which he drank therefore, he requested to the
chief of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
How many times have you heard me say that?
My dad told me my whole life. You have to decide the person
you want to be in advance and make the decision in advance.
And if you're bouncing around, like a ping-pong ball.
If you're bouncing around like that and always kind of getting
messed up and making the wrong choice, it's because you haven't
done this, you haven't purposed in your heart, in advance, what
the decision is going to be, and the kind of person that you're
going to be. Jesus said this in Luke 21 verse
14. Therefore settle it in your
hearts that your will not to meditate beforehand on what you
will answer. So altogether, the biblical
picture of the heart is that it's the entirety of the inner
man. So when we talk about somebody
that has a pure heart, we're talking about somebody that has
a mature faith. We give you some examples about
this about amateur Faith. True Christianity is not simply
a matter of Reform, Behavior now, Behavior matters, but
that's not what we're talking about.
We're talking about changing something on the inside, it's a
matter or condition of the state of a person's heart.
And if you have a pure heart, please hear me because I know
how it is. I know exactly how it is, when
you go in the world and I'm in the world, I have to go out in
the world to if you have, Amateur faith.
That stems from a pure heart. You will have the courage to be
different. If you don't have the courage.
To be different in your life. When all your friends are doing
things, they shouldn't do. Got some work to do.
We don't have a mature faith, we don't have Pure Heart.
Jesus says, fix it on the inside when you have that kind of faith
when you have that kind of heart, you know what, it's
great. Could you have the courage to
even be different, notice how it all works.
As a matter of the Inner Man, becoming something new and
better. We noticed this so far Poor in
spirit. Poor in spirit.
You get rid of all self-righteousness.
No air gets you realize you're nothing without the Lord.
That's on the inside. Then you're going to mourn over
your sin. I have Godly sorrow for my sin.
I want to be saved. I got to do something about it.
Jesus said, you know what, your me comforted, that's the answer,
being baptized for the remission of my sins and start my journey
as a Christian. What else?
I'm not going to have any animosity toward other people.
There's not going to be thoughts of retaliation toward others.
I got rid of that on the inside. I'm Meek, I'm gentle.
In other words, it is a choice that I have made on the inside.
And then I'm going to have a growing faith.
And I'm going to demonstrate that by hungering and thirsting
for righteousness. So what I feel the void here.
No, self-righteousness here. I fill it with the righteousness
of God there. And that is a mature faith.
And I'm going to show Mercy toward others.
I'm going to do that. Because I'm going to realize
that in my life. On gothis brow on Mount Calvary
so long ago. As we just see, just even a
glimpse of Calvary, what Jesus did for everyone.
It ought to cause us to throw aside any kind of arrogance at
all and be merciful because Jesus was by his act and God
showed Mercy through Jesus Christ.
On the cross, I'm going to show Mercy to other people, too.
That's kind of person I'm going to be and you know what, I'm
going to get Mercy from God. That's what Jesus said.
But then I'm going to do this. I'm going to be pure in heart.
That means that Jesus is reflected in my life.
That's when Jesus Christ is actually formed in you.
And you know, in every point it's not the outward Behavior.
But it's the inward man, that becomes something new and
something better and when you change it on the inside, it
automatically fixes the outside. If you ever heard somebody say
something to a Christian about, you just look happy all the
time. By the way, nobody, no Christian
should walk around. Sour, like, you just ate a bowl
of prunes Nobody wants to be like that.
Nobody's told to be like that either and sober minded means
serious, minded about your faith.
That's what that means. He ever heard somebody say
something to a Christian about how happy they look, there's
just something about, there's something about them on their
face. There was a Hindu man.
He was a traitor in India. He went up to a missionary and
he says what do you put on your face to make it shine?
He said sir, I don't put anything on my face.
He said, it's something that we put on.
It's not something that we put on, on the outside.
But something that comes from within, it's the reflection of
the light of God in our hearts. So let me ask you all today.
What are the things that are most important to you in your
life? What's most important and why
does it matter? What's most important in?
Why does it matter? This is why it matters talked
about the importance of the heart important stuff.
Why does it matter what's most important?
Jesus said in Matthew 6 and 21 for where your treasure is
there? Your heart will be also.
So in closing, let me ask you this.
How's your heart? What's it filled with?
How would it be described? Faith.
That's matured is a wonderful blessing.
It brings us into the very presence of God.
And it allows us to reflect the image of God in our life and you
know what, everybody's watching and just maybe because of the
demonstration of your attitude and your life, you may bring
people to Christ that maybe they wouldn't even have known that
you're a Christian. Had you not been that way in
your life? I'm through this morning.
Thank you so much for your kind listening.
We never close a service without extending an invitation to
someone that might be subject to the gospel call, we talked about
that very idea that we are poor in spirit but then there's an
answer. Paul said so faith comes by
hearing and hearing by the word of God, Romans 10:17.
Jesus then said in Mark 16:16 he that believeth and is baptized
shall be saved. He that believeth not shall be
damned Jesus. Further said in Luke 13 and 3
and also verse 5 I tell you no but except you repent you will
all likewise perish. Jesus further said, if you
confess me before men I will confess you before.
My Father, which is in heaven and Acts chapter 8 tells us that
confession the good confession. The only confession I believe
that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and upon taking those steps
of obedience leading toward the point of Salvation.
First, Peter 3:21, the like figure whereunto even baptism
doth also now save us. We thank you for listening to
