1 00:00:06,520 --> 00:00:12,320 So, you know, you have to count the small wins in your life. 2 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:17,080 But you know, it's a strange thing to be a pastor or to be a 3 00:00:17,080 --> 00:00:22,000 preacher who sort of makes their living by talking and giving 4 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,360 talks. And if you meet someone five 5 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:29,920 years from now who sat here at Origin and asked them, hey, 6 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:36,280 could you remember the sermon that was given on April 19th, 7 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,920 2026? And they're like, why are you 8 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,920 asking me that? You know, because it's a small 9 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,720 win if you remember. And the the strange thing is, is 10 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:50,240 that I spend and many pastors spend their time preparing 11 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:54,760 deeply and giving a talk that no one remembers. 12 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,800 We get in the car, we drive down the road and I asked my kids, 13 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:01,080 hey, what do you think of the talk? 14 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,040 What was it about? Can't remember. 15 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,040 You know, it's gone whoosh in a few days. 16 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,640 I can't even remember. It's just gone. 17 00:01:11,320 --> 00:01:15,880 But but here's the thing. Sermons and coming to service 18 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:21,560 isn't just about this winning location for your mind. 19 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:27,520 It's actually meant to provide a sustaining diet for your life 20 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,640 with Christ. And so you don't even remember 21 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:38,800 the meal that you ate on April 19th five years ago, it was 22 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:43,920 20/21, it was COVID. What'd you eat? 23 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,720 You don't remember. And so a sermon is, is like a 24 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,960 meal. It, it's one of these things 25 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:57,000 that's meant to provide sustenance for the next little 26 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,840 run in your life. And every once in a while 27 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,000 there's something that reaches a bit deeper. 28 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,240 There's a a little truth bomb that gets placed deep in your 29 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,440 heart. And later in your life, it goes 30 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,000 off and you're like, I don't know where that came from, but 31 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,600 the Holy Spirit just reminded me of this, this thing, the 32 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:21,440 Scripture and my life. And it's a win if somewhere in 33 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,440 your years here at origin, a truth was settled in your heart 34 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,120 and mind, and the Holy Spirit makes it go off like a bomb. 35 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:34,320 Later in life, a few weeks ago, you might remember that I asked 36 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:44,960 you to remember your darkest failures, your regrets, where 37 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,640 you experienced a sense of great grief and loss. 38 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:58,200 We, we, we tend to romance the failures that come in our lives 39 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:02,080 a little bit. Brené Brown has helped us with 40 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,320 that. She's remind us, reminded us of 41 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:09,520 Theodore Roosevelt's famous quote about the man in the 42 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:15,080 arena. Roosevelt was giving a talk 43 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,880 about citizenship in the Republic, and he said it's not 44 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:25,160 the critic who counts. It's not the man who points at 45 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:29,600 the man who stumbles, how the strong man fell. 46 00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:34,520 The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, 47 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:41,440 whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives 48 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:48,360 valiantly, who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while 49 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:54,760 daring greatly. I feel better about all my 50 00:03:54,760 --> 00:04:00,800 failures, don't you? Not if it was Math One O 1 this 51 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:05,520 past. Week, I heard. 52 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:15,280 It was a tough exam. Not if we're like Peter, who has 53 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:22,160 to face the one whom he considered the best person in 54 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:29,440 his life, and yet he failed him. You see last week's passage. 55 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:33,200 The breakfast in Galilee is one of my favorite passages in the 56 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,160 Scripture because, one, I've grown up loving breakfast, and 57 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:41,400 two, I think Jesus is just amazing to have cooked breakfast 58 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,320 and reminded them all of the moment that he called them this 59 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:49,760 group of fishermen, how they had spent the night trying to catch 60 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,480 fish. And Jesus is on the beach and 61 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,400 says, throw your net on the other side. 62 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:59,560 And Peter says, hey, you know, you're the Carpenter, we're the 63 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,080 fishermen. But because you say so, I'll do 64 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,400 it. And he threw the net over and 65 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,480 they gathered up this huge amount of fish. 66 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:12,080 And in that moment, Peter was reminded of all of his failures. 67 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,320 And he throws himself down on the deck of that boat and says, 68 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:21,600 go away from me. Go away from me, Lord, I'm not 69 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,680 worthy of you. And Jesus says, don't worry 70 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,680 Peter, from now on you will catch people. 71 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:37,600 And so here in the breakfast in Galilee, Jesus is reminding them 72 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,440 with that miracle and that miraculous catch a fish of their 73 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:46,000 beginnings with him and the calling that they had had with 74 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,760 him. But Peter would have been 75 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:58,440 remembering his failures where just just the week before Jesus 76 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,960 had been crucified. And Peter wasn't there because 77 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,320 in the early morning hours he denied Christ three times. 78 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:13,080 He denied that he knew Jesus, he denied that this was his rabbi, 79 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:19,920 and he ran away. I wonder what it was like for 80 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,320 Peter when he came back and he saw the coals of that fire 81 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:29,000 burning there and thought about the last time he and Jesus had 82 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,320 been in proxemics of coals of fire. 83 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:42,800 At some point in that breakfast, Jesus addresses Peter. 84 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:48,920 They'd finished eating. It says if you have the 85 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,880 scripture you can find it in John chapter 21. 86 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,400 There we go. When they had finished eating, 87 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:10,560 Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, do you love 88 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:16,880 me more than these? Yes, Lord, he said, You know 89 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:22,800 that I love you. Jesus said, Feed my lambs again, 90 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:28,000 Jesus said, Simon, son of John, do you love me? 91 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:34,200 He answered, yes, Lord, you know that I love you. 92 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,400 And Jesus said, take care of my sheep. 93 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:47,800 The third time he said to him, Simon, son of John, do you love 94 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:52,640 me? Peter was hurt because Jesus 95 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,200 asked him the third time, do you love me? 96 00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:00,400 He said, Lord, you know all things, you know that I love 97 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:04,040 you. And Jesus said, feed my sheep 98 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,440 very truly. I tell you, when you were 99 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,520 younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted, but when 100 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:16,280 you are old you will stretch out your hands and someone will 101 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,040 dress you and lead you where you do not want to go. 102 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,960 Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter 103 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:30,600 would glorify God. Then he said to him, Follow me. 104 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,720 Peter turned and saw that the disciple whom Jesus loved was 105 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,840 following them. This was the one who had leaned 106 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,600 back against Jesus at the supper. 107 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,320 And it said, Lord, who is going to betray you? 108 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:50,480 When Peter saw him, he asked, Lord, what about him? 109 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:56,000 And Jesus answered, If I want him to remain alive until I 110 00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:01,360 return, what is that to you? You must follow me. 111 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,480 Because of this, the rumor spread among the disciples that 112 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,040 this disciple would not die. But Jesus did not say that he 113 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,280 would not die. He only said, if I want him to 114 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,520 remain alive until I return, what is that to you? 115 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,680 This is the disciple who testifies to these things and 116 00:09:22,680 --> 00:09:25,440 who wrote them down. We know that his testimony is 117 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,080 true. Jesus did many other things as 118 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,200 well. If every one of them were 119 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,320 written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not 120 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,680 have room for the books that would be written. 121 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:47,440 Peter and his story of failure and regret and shame actually 122 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,840 has a bit of back story and history. 123 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:56,560 Peter was the guy who was often daring greatly and he was often 124 00:09:56,560 --> 00:10:06,040 falling on his face. Peter was often out front when 125 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:10,680 Jesus was walking across the water and Jesus says don't be 126 00:10:10,680 --> 00:10:13,320 afraid, it's me. The the rest of the disciples 127 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:17,680 thought it was a ghost, but Peter says if it's you, Lord, 128 00:10:17,680 --> 00:10:21,360 call me out. And Peter started to walk on the 129 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:26,600 water with Jesus, but then when he saw the storm and the waves, 130 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:34,680 he started to sink. Jesus had asked a question, What 131 00:10:34,680 --> 00:10:36,760 do? Who do people say I am? 132 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:41,760 And Peter was out front again with the answer, Doesn't matter 133 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,200 what the people say, it's what we say. 134 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,520 When Jesus asked, who do you say I am? 135 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:51,600 And he says you are the Christ, the Son of the living God. 136 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,120 And Jesus says, hey, that's good, Peter. 137 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,560 But you didn't come up with that. 138 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,680 My Father in heaven revealed it to you. 139 00:11:02,680 --> 00:11:05,320 And I tell you that you are Peter. 140 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,920 And on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell 141 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:16,440 will not prevail against it. It was just a few days later 142 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:21,600 then when when Peter heard Jesus saying, and you know, I'm going 143 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,760 to go to Jerusalem and I'm going to suffer there. 144 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:30,080 And Peter was like, never, no, that cannot happen. 145 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:35,000 By no means. He's daring greatly again. 146 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:41,320 And Jesus says, get behind me, Satan, you don't have in mind 147 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,920 the things of God, but the things of men. 148 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:51,080 So Peter was often out front, daring greatly, but his courage 149 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:55,720 was untried. And the night before Jesus was 150 00:11:55,760 --> 00:12:00,720 betrayed, or the night of his betrayal, Jesus gathered with 151 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:05,880 his disciples, had washed their feet, and then said, where I'm 152 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:10,160 going, you can't go. And Peter says, where are you 153 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,320 going? I why can't I go with you? 154 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:23,240 I will lay down my life for you. Such courage in Peter. 155 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:32,360 He was daring greatly, but it was truly untried and it was not 156 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,920 the right time. And so Jesus says, listen Peter, 157 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:41,520 I tell you truly, truly, I tell you that by the time morning 158 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:47,680 comes, by the time the rooster crows, you will have betrayed me 159 00:12:48,280 --> 00:13:02,590 3 times. Can you imagine your best friend 160 00:13:03,710 --> 00:13:08,350 and you're walking down main Mall and there you meet someone 161 00:13:08,350 --> 00:13:14,200 who's from another club, another Christian ministry, another 162 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,080 group that you really hope to belong to. 163 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:24,120 And and they, they say, hey, do you, do you know that person? 164 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,240 They're pointing to your best friend and you're like them. 165 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:32,720 No, I don't know them. They stink. 166 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:41,600 They're the worst. Peter did this three times. 167 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:48,640 Three times Jesus was just down in the courtyard being tried, 168 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:52,520 being beaten. And the last person who comes 169 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:56,920 says Peter, didn't, didn't I see you in the garden? 170 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,960 Weren't you the guy who cut the servant's ear off? 171 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,240 Peter says no, never. And he cursed and says I don't 172 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:10,880 know him. And then the rooster crows and 173 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,120 Peter goes out and weeps bitterly. 174 00:14:14,680 --> 00:14:18,880 The other gospel writers say, what is this? 175 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,560 A fisherman weeping for his rabbi? 176 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:33,120 Such fear and conflict and shame and regret would have filled 177 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,760 Peter's life. How many of you would have 178 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,560 turned immediately and said, I'm just kidding, you know, you're 179 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,840 my great friend, You know, that's so hard. 180 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,480 That's so hard. You failed. 181 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,160 You failed your friend. You failed yourself. 182 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:54,960 And Peter had really experienced an incredible rupture in his 183 00:14:54,960 --> 00:15:00,120 life about who he is and what he's about. 184 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,960 That's the only way I can imagine it, that this failure 185 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:13,960 was a terrible rupture of who Peter is, and Jesus is after the 186 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,480 internal emotional habits of Peter. 187 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:26,400 So when Jesus asked, hey, Peter, do you love me more than these? 188 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,480 It's possible that we might think, oh, Jesus is talking 189 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:33,200 about the fish. Do you love me more than fish? 190 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,760 Makes sense, No. Do you love me more than this 191 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,160 kind of work? Fishing work? 192 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,240 That hasn't really been the topic. 193 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,560 Instead, it's been the fellowship of the disciples 194 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:52,000 eating breakfast. And Jesus asks a very 195 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:56,400 provocative question. Do you love me more than anybody 196 00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:01,720 else here? It's a trick question. 197 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:16,880 Who loves you more? It's a trick question, but the 198 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:22,480 trick in it is that Jesus is after Peter's internal workings, 199 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:28,560 that Peter himself was actually caught up in The Who loves you 200 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:33,200 more, who can serve you more? Who can be the strongest leader, 201 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:37,080 who can be the one who really shows up for Jesus? 202 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:43,040 And he'd failed at that. And Peter doesn't fall for it. 203 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:48,280 Peter has had enough of a rupture in his emotional 204 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:53,880 workings that he says, Lord, you know that I love you. 205 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:59,840 And Peter is getting off and out of the comparison trap. 206 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,280 This is Jesus's invitation to Peter. 207 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,839 Get out of the comparison trap. Because I tell you, when you 208 00:17:06,839 --> 00:17:09,760 experience a great failure, you're going to be looking 209 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,240 around at those who seem to be doing well. 210 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:18,119 He's going to be looking around at well, John seems to have 211 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:23,119 stayed at the cross. John the beloved disciple, John 212 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:24,960 the one who was the closest friend. 213 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,560 John stayed at the cross, but I did not. 214 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,520 He would have been playing that game of comparison. 215 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,680 And Jesus is inviting him from his regret, from his shame, from 216 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:42,360 his failure to quit comparing himself to others. 217 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:46,920 Listen, friends, grades. Grades are just a small snapshot 218 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:52,800 of comparison on that day. They do not define your life. 219 00:17:54,120 --> 00:17:58,640 Now, comparison actually is a little bit helpful, but it can 220 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:04,000 become a deadly spiritual virus. Before we get to it, let me just 221 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:09,080 say comparison is helpful, especially when it is about 222 00:18:09,120 --> 00:18:16,080 excellence and admiration. Dear friends, Paul writes. 223 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:22,720 Brothers and sisters think on that, which is admirable. 224 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,880 So if you think on a person who is admirable and you're not 225 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:35,640 playing the comparison game, you actually go, wow, that Bethany, 226 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:41,880 she is fantastic at the piano and I so admire the way the Lord 227 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:47,240 works in her life. Wow, Noah, he plays the guitar 228 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,880 so well and leads us in worship, and we can go down the whole 229 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:55,440 worship team and say this is admirable in their excellence 230 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,720 and well, I want to be like Bethany. 231 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,800 How many of you said that? I want to be like Catherine. 232 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:07,080 I want to be like Noah. Hey there. 233 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:14,840 Wow, look at that, Noah. It's good, but when you see 234 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,760 excellence and and you're not in the comparison game, it's not 235 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:24,960 the condemnation of comparison, it's actually the admiration 236 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,520 that says, oh, there's excellence there and I'd love to 237 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:33,560 have some of that in my life. Where can I develop the unique 238 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:37,640 abilities that I have that can be built and fanned into flame? 239 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:45,840 That's good comparison. It works, it's great, but 240 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:52,280 comparison can be a deathly spiritual virus, and I believe 241 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:57,880 for Peter it was that envy, rivalry and rage was just at the 242 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:05,160 cusp of Peter's heart and life. James. 243 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:09,760 Says where you have envy and selfish ambition, then you will 244 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:15,280 find every evil practice. When our admiration flips into 245 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:23,760 envy, then we're in trouble. When the envy is that, oh, 246 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:27,280 everyone else is succeeding, they got the scholarship, they 247 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:32,240 got the call to the NFL or the NBA and I never got it and it 248 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:37,720 crushes us or I I'm so mad. They got the the best grade in 249 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,600 the class. They probably cheated. 250 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:46,000 And and so immediately you start this story in your own life that 251 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:54,280 condemns them and you it can create a great deal of 252 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:58,680 insecurity. Jesus told stories of comparison 253 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:03,400 that he didn't recommend of a Pharisee and a tax collector who 254 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:08,840 had gone to pray at the temple. And even in their prayers, the 255 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:12,280 Pharisee was saying, oh God, I thank you that I'm not like 256 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:16,720 other people. Don't you see it, Lord? 257 00:21:17,120 --> 00:21:22,240 I'm not like the robbers and the adulterers and those who steal. 258 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,560 I'm not like that tax collector right there. 259 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,600 Can't you see the difference, God? 260 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,560 And so his pride puffed himself up. 261 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:45,280 His insecurity puffs himself up. Insecurity of comparison creates 262 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:53,120 overcompensation and we can track very quickly to legalism. 263 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,680 Comparison can crush the heart of a child if the parent is 264 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:04,320 always saying, well, why can't you be like your cousin Albert? 265 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:11,840 Why can't you be like your sister Sue? 266 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:20,280 Why can't you be like? And that is a crushing viral 267 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:28,240 spiritual disease. It creates immense insecurities 268 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,640 in US and it causes us to misplace our values. 269 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:33,920 Right. In the 10 commandments it says 270 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:38,160 of comparison, you shall not covet anything of your 271 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:42,280 neighbors, not your neighbour's wife, nor your neighbour's 272 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:47,680 servants, nor your neighbour's animals or anything else that 273 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,440 your neighbor has. You will not covet it. 274 00:22:53,800 --> 00:23:02,080 Envy for it, which ultimately leads you to take it because you 275 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:10,040 say I deserve that, I'm owed that, I'm entitled to that. 276 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:19,040 And so we take it from them. Give credit where credit is due. 277 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,240 If someone else on your team does something well, let them 278 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,280 know it. Don't take credit for it. 279 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:36,640 Celebrate it. Don't steal another's glory. 280 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,960 In fact, the way comparison works is it makes us tone deaf 281 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,400 to grace. If you find yourself in the 282 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:50,000 emotional traps of comparison after a failure, after things 283 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:55,040 didn't go well, after regret, it makes it difficult to hear grace 284 00:23:55,040 --> 00:24:00,400 in your life. Jesus has been exhibiting great 285 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:05,120 grace to Peter. They're having a conversation. 286 00:24:05,120 --> 00:24:09,520 It's gone really well. And then he notices that John, 287 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:13,320 the beloved disciple, is sort of tagging along them on their 288 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:17,320 walk. And Peter says, but what about 289 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:22,200 him? Peter? 290 00:24:23,120 --> 00:24:28,480 Peter's tone deaf to grace. He only sees John, who succeeded 291 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,560 in staying with Jesus to the end. 292 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:33,680 And he's like, well, what about him? 293 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:41,920 And Jesus basically says, Peter, let me plan your life with you. 294 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:53,920 Let me plan his life with him. When we're really struggling in 295 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:58,760 this rupture of comparison, we will be tone deaf to grace for a 296 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,440 while. We're We won't be willing to 297 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,840 accept what God has done for us. We won't be willing to accept 298 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:09,000 the great love of God. We will struggle with the 299 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:13,760 embrace and reception of God when we failed, especially if 300 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:21,120 our identity was really based in winning all the time, if our 301 00:25:21,120 --> 00:25:24,720 identity was based in being the best all the time. 302 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,200 Some of you lived that rupture when you went from high school 303 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:32,200 to UBC, and you're like, my God, I'm surrounded by so many smart 304 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:41,360 people and it's so hard. But every rupture like that is 305 00:25:41,360 --> 00:25:44,160 an opportunity for God to reshape your heart. 306 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,840 That's what Jesus is really after. 307 00:25:47,120 --> 00:25:53,200 He's really after reshaping Peter's affections and the 308 00:25:53,200 --> 00:26:00,720 center of his life. Jesus says, Simon, son of John, 309 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,160 do you love me? And he answered, yes, Lord, you 310 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,920 know that I love you. Then take care of my sheep. 311 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,760 Take care of my sheep. Do you love me? 312 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,000 He asked him 3 * 3 times. Peter denied him. 313 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:17,400 It really hurt. Jesus says you must follow me. 314 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:22,240 Do you know it's a It's a really difficult question to ask to 315 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,800 answer. Do you love me? 316 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:34,720 Especially when God asks it because our relationship with 317 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:41,320 God is so asymmetrical. God loves us so much and my love 318 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:48,680 seems so small. My faith seems even smaller at 319 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:52,320 times. God's faith in me seems so 320 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:56,400 large. My faith in myself seems so 321 00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:02,360 small at times. God's ability to provide is so 322 00:27:02,360 --> 00:27:06,720 large, but mine seems so small at times. 323 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,960 And so the asymmetrical relationship with God seems 324 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:16,680 really challenging. If God himself says, do you love 325 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,320 me? But every command of God is 326 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:23,120 weighed in the balance of love God and love people. 327 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,800 So welcome to our challenge of being Christian. 328 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:33,280 And every time we find that we did not do that well, we confess 329 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:39,000 it to the Lord and we must hear with Peter, Jesus is reset. 330 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,960 Do you love me? Yes, Lord, I love you. 331 00:27:53,340 --> 00:27:57,500 Is that in your own heart? Yes, Lord, I love you. 332 00:27:59,740 --> 00:28:02,500 You know all things, you know that I love you. 333 00:28:05,500 --> 00:28:09,320 And Jesus says, follow me. You must follow me. 334 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:13,120 You must become a student of the Rabbi Jesus. 335 00:28:13,360 --> 00:28:17,720 You must become one who's been embraced and brought into his 336 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:23,440 salvation family just by relinquishing the rights of your 337 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:30,120 life to him. And that's how it starts for all 338 00:28:30,120 --> 00:28:34,160 of us. Jesus is unfolding his 339 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,280 assignment through this conversation. 340 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,640 He said a third time, Simon, son of John, do you love me? 341 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,600 And Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, do you 342 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,200 love me? And he said, Lord, you know all 343 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:47,760 things. You know that I love you. 344 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:51,640 And then Jesus says, feed my sheep, Feed my sheep. 345 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,600 What does a fisherman have to do with sheep? 346 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:03,880 This is all a metaphor. Take care of my people. 347 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:08,080 In the history of Israel, there was an occasion where God said, 348 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:12,120 I'm going to judge Israel by raising up a foolish shepherd. 349 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:19,400 You can say to your neighbor a foolish shepherd, What in the 350 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,800 world is a foolish shepherd? A foolish shepherd? 351 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:27,920 He goes on to say, as one who fails to do 4 things, a foolish 352 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,600 shepherd fails to care for the lost. 353 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:36,920 You know, sheep get lost, Sheep run off. 354 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:43,880 Sheep was like meh, grass. And they just go for it and they 355 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,200 don't think about where they're where it's taking them. 356 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:50,680 And you can lift a sheep out of a ditch and they will say grass 357 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,360 and they'll fall back in one more time and they'll do the 358 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:58,840 same thing over. The foolish shepherd fails to 359 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,000 care for the lost. The foolish shepherd, it says in 360 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,800 Zechariah, not only fails to care for the lost, they fail to 361 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:11,080 seek the young. Sometimes when a young lamb is 362 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:16,960 born, she becomes separated from the mother, or the mother fails 363 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:21,600 to attach to the child she had just born. 364 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,800 And so the shepherd must come along and use various strategies 365 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:31,800 to find that young lamb. So valuable, right? 366 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:38,080 To find that young lamb and then actually work to help create 367 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:46,960 attachment with that mother. The foolish shepherd fails to 368 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:56,520 find the young, fails to value the new young believer. 369 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:05,000 The third thing a fool of shepherd does is they fail to 370 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,640 heal the injured. So that sheep that fell in the 371 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:15,720 ditch shattered its arm, its leg, it was broken. 372 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:21,680 But the Good Shepherd comes and takes them up and resets. 373 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:32,360 That bone heals. And then finally. 374 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,800 The foolish shepherd fails to feed the healthy. 375 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,040 Just says. Well, hopefully the. 376 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,040 Healthy will just take care of themselves. 377 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,560 Fails to think about. Where do the healthy need to be 378 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:53,320 moved next together? And so Jesus has a great 379 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:57,440 tradition of shepherding and leading the flock of Israel to 380 00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,160 draw from. And he has a great tradition of 381 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,640 the expectation of the Good Shepherd. 382 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:07,640 And so he's saying to Peter, listen, I want you all. 383 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:12,640 I want you to be all about taking care of this flock of 384 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:17,840 people that I'm creating, this new Israel that I'm creating. 385 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,480 I want you to be a part of taking care of it. 386 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,320 Now do you know what Jesus is doing here? 387 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:29,200 He's re elevating Peter to the very prophetic role that he had 388 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:33,280 called him to remember what had happened when Peter said you're 389 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,280 the Christ, the Son of the living God. 390 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,680 And Jesus says. You're Peter. 391 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:42,840 He's actually saying you're like a rock. 392 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:47,400 And on this confession, I'm going to build my. 393 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:54,920 My church. I'm going to build my flock of 394 00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:58,280 people so he's. Reinstating. 395 00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:02,080 Peter here to the very role to which he had called him. 396 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:12,040 When we fail. We lose sight of what we've been 397 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:16,200 called to and. Jesus wants to restore. 398 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:27,920 It. Dear Church, when the church. 399 00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:31,320 Fails. Jesus wants to restore our 400 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:36,520 affections to him, and he wants to restore the vision to which 401 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:40,280 we have been called, the ministry of taking care of 402 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:45,880 people. It is our. 403 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:50,680 Together, ministry as the church to take. 404 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:55,800 Care of people. To care for the lost, to seek 405 00:33:55,920 --> 00:34:00,560 the young, to heal the injured and feed the healthy. 406 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:06,920 When Jesus called Peter. Off that boat, this is what he 407 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:12,120 was calling into. And he's seeking to enfold. 408 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:15,159 Him again into his great mission and ministry. 409 00:34:17,199 --> 00:34:21,239 Jesus's or Peter? 'S comparison game would never 410 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,800 work. He's going. 411 00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:27,480 To be comparing himself. To Paul, in fact, he he later 412 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,199 says of Paul, you know his writings are difficult to 413 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:35,080 understand. You know Peter got. 414 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:39,800 Into trouble later when he was wanting to compare himself to 415 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:43,120 other people and he was afraid of being rejected because he had 416 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:47,920 been hanging out with Gentiles, the people who were outside the 417 00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:49,960 flock. Jesus says I've got people who 418 00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,280 are outside the flock, I want to call them in. 419 00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,480 And later Peter was right at the front of that. 420 00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:59,000 But then when he was worried about what others would think, 421 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:03,800 he he shrank back. But he had to be called forward 422 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:07,200 again, I find. A lot of hope. 423 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:13,400 In that for us and for myself. You see, Jesus is. 424 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,560 Very interested in your spiritual formation. 425 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,920 You are all being spiritually formed you by something. 426 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:26,200 You all have emotional internal habits, some that are helpful 427 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:30,760 and some that are not. Some that will help. 428 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,240 You to a certain point in your life and then they don't work 429 00:35:33,240 --> 00:35:36,120 anymore for. Example. 430 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:41,600 When I fell down, my parents would say, oh, just get up and 431 00:35:41,720 --> 00:35:46,840 shake it off, right? That became an internal setting 432 00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,200 for me. If you fall down, if you fail, 433 00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:53,000 you get up and you shake it off you. 434 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:54,640 Can tell your neighbors. Shake it off. 435 00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:59,560 And that worked for a long time until it didn't work anymore. 436 00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:02,040 I. Had a sense of. 437 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:08,480 Failure and regret and shame in my life that I could not seem to 438 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:12,800 shake off. And I'm like, I'm going to. 439 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:16,160 Have to learn something different, and I only recognized 440 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,320 that after I'd sort of banged myself against the wall a few 441 00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,280 times. This is not working. 442 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:26,160 I can't shake this in my internal world. 443 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:30,160 It's going to require something different. 444 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:38,280 So Jesus will take both your. Wins and your losses to help you 445 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:42,720 grow and be formed in him. Jesus will. 446 00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:47,000 Will will try to draw you out from the condemnation of 447 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,960 comparison. When you find that you're 448 00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:56,960 totally always in the gap about your life and about others, and 449 00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,960 you're like, this keeps happening to me, then maybe 450 00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,680 Jesus is trying to free you from it. 451 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,640 Jesus will. Always seek to take your 452 00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:13,520 vocation, not your vacation. He might take your vacation. 453 00:37:14,720 --> 00:37:19,840 Jesus will seek to take your vocation and show you our common 454 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:23,040 call together to care for people. 455 00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:28,240 If your vocation is. Teaching or in business. 456 00:37:28,720 --> 00:37:31,680 If your vocation is in gardening or the forest. 457 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:35,520 If your vocation is in public policy or in the hospital. 458 00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:41,160 If your if your vocation is in accounting or in pharmacy. 459 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:46,680 If your vocation isn't building things excellently and well, if 460 00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:52,640 your vocation is in restoration, Jesus will still always seek to 461 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:59,680 enfold you and your vocation into His great work of loving 462 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:03,120 people. That's what he's after. 463 00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:05,840 Is that? You would experience the. 464 00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:11,440 Love of God and that you would join him in loving others. 465 00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:15,240 To do that, you're going to have to take a long walk with Jesus. 466 00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:19,800 I I love this passage. Let's just look at this picture 467 00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:21,480 here. John's a genius. 468 00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,880 At least Jesus and God are geniuses too. 469 00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:27,640 Do you? Know Genesis. 470 00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:31,600 Begins by saying in. The beginning God. 471 00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:38,160 Created heavens and earth. In John chapter one it says in 472 00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:42,680 the beginning was the word the word. 473 00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:44,600 Was with God. He was with God from the very 474 00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,920 beginning. And so. 475 00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:53,320 The book of John is meant to help us see God's creating power 476 00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:57,720 at work once again. And should it surprise you that 477 00:38:57,720 --> 00:39:01,960 here at the end of the Gospel, we have come back to the garden? 478 00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:08,080 What did Mary say when she saw Jesus in the garden? 479 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:12,360 She was like, oh, if if you're the garden Gardner, you must 480 00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:16,680 tell me where they took him. She mistook Jesus as if he was 481 00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,040 the gardener. And so I love this artist from 482 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:24,240 1500s and and they've looked Jesus is even sucking on a 483 00:39:24,240 --> 00:39:29,720 little piece of straw. He's got a a spade in his hand. 484 00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:34,960 He's got nail scars in his hand. The gardener. 485 00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,000 John. Shows us that we're we're back 486 00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:43,560 in the garden and what happens in the garden before the fall 487 00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:49,600 what happened in the garden eve and Adam walked with God in the 488 00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:54,440 garden and. Then what do we end with? 489 00:39:54,440 --> 00:40:03,120 In this passage in John, we end with Jesus taking Peter on a 490 00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,280 walk. Peter. 491 00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,040 The son of Adam. He's taking. 492 00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:11,720 Him on a walk and he's restoring to. 493 00:40:11,720 --> 00:40:16,840 Him. His identity, his personhood, 494 00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:19,920 his. Love relationship with. 495 00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:25,320 God, his sense of vision, He's restoring it. 496 00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,800 You and I need to take a long walk with Jesus. 497 00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:36,320 It's strange what happens. On a long walk in Theo of 498 00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:38,960 Golden, there's a great passage where a person has had a 499 00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:42,680 terrible loss, and it says of them that they were drawn to 500 00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:46,200 walking even. In his darkest. 501 00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,200 Hour. He was drawn, if unconsciously, 502 00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:52,040 to space and color. And so he walked and walked and 503 00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:55,760 walked every day as if life depended on it. 504 00:40:55,760 --> 00:41:00,040 He walked alone, tirelessly and desperately. 505 00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:03,120 His walking was driven by fear and hope. 506 00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:06,640 Fear of the thoughts that would catch him if he sat still, and 507 00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:11,160 hope that he might somehow walk himself into a stupor or 508 00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:15,600 oblivion, or better, into the place where he would find the 509 00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:19,520 one he lost. The temptation, or to drug 510 00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,680 himself into sleep was never strong enough to overcome his 511 00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:27,080 remembrance of what that power had already taken from him. 512 00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:34,160 Eventually the dark spell broke. After weeks of walking, the 513 00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:38,400 beauty that had surrounded him, the beauty to which grief had 514 00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:43,080 temporarily numbed him, became consciously present again. 515 00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:48,840 Go walk with Jesus in the garden of his creation. 516 00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,520 All the earth is. The Lord's. 517 00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:06,160 When you feel grief. Shame, regret, take a walk with 518 00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:09,720 Jesus, let him ask you questions. 519 00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:14,280 Some of the questions that he asked Peter, do you love me? 520 00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:17,560 You might ask you might ask God, do you love me? 521 00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:20,400 But. You might also find. 522 00:42:20,720 --> 00:42:23,280 God himself asking here, do you love me? 523 00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:28,600 And then know. That with Jesus you can rise to 524 00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:35,320 the occasion. With Jesus you can. 525 00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:39,600 Rise up to every occasion into which He has called you. 526 00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:46,880 And he's resetting your. Heart and your life and all your 527 00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:52,120 relationships. This is the the. 528 00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:57,240 Delight we take in coming to this table that Jesus the Risen 529 00:42:57,240 --> 00:43:01,360 1. Came and invites us. 530 00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:05,720 To the table that was only accessible through Friday. 531 00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:10,640 Through Saturday. And then came Sunday. 532 00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:14,520 And. So God can take. 533 00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:19,280 Every rupture, every great failure and he can reset in your 534 00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:23,600 life. A new creation. 535 00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:27,280 So even as we take this bread, in just a moment, I'm going to 536 00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:30,200 ask the worship team to come. When we take this bread, we 537 00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:35,120 remind ourselves Jesus laid down his life for me. 538 00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:45,720 Even when I failed, Jesus poured out His life for me so that I 539 00:43:45,720 --> 00:43:50,160 might be forgiven for every failure in my life. 540 00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:56,640 And then he resets. Us and calls us into something 541 00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:59,880 great and glorious. Let's stand together.
