Welcome to the Lansdale Life Church Podcast.
If you're seeking a closer relationship with Jesus Christ, this podcast is for you.
Thank you for joining us today.
I just think it's funny we're talking about the bread right and the bread of
life tonight Jesus and I come downstairs before I leave and there's my
son Van who is I called Doe Ball because he's like just so stocky and thick
he's 13 months old but he's in 2T clothing where he's 25 pounds and he's
covered in flour and I was like this is so funny the Doe Ball is covered in
flour because he's whipping it around and bowed through flour in his face of
course but I just think it's so funny and you know I was like is there a
metaphor here I didn't want to make it too to spiritual so we'll just leave
it as a funny story and you know but hey I want to be covered in Jesus
right the flower so we'll stop there but thank you Jesus so let's just open it
up in prayer and we will be in Leviticus 21 so Jesus I thank you so much
Lord that you are God the bread of life and I we just we need you Lord we
need you every day God and we thank you Lord that you feed us Lord our
souls our spirit in ways that no one else can God you have the words of
life Lord you are the word incarnate God and you feed us Lord every single day
when we're in your presence Lord you set us apart we are set apart because of
you God to be used by you to glorify you God and I pray that tonight in my
craziness of notes Lord that you would make it make sense Lord and that you
would just bring your power into tonight Lord we lift you up Lord you
are King Lord you're seated on the throne and we worship you in Jesus
name and man so the whole chapter hangs on this verse 8 so we'll read up to verse 8
and pause there so 21 Leviticus verse 1 and the Lord said to Moses speak to the
priests the sons of Aaron and say to them none shall defile himself for the
dead among his people except for his relatives who are nearest to him
his mother his father his son his daughter his brother also his virgin
sister who is near him who has no husband for her he may defile himself and this
is ceremonial defilement there's no moral reason that you can't be near a
dead body but this is for the priests ceremonially otherwise he shall not
defile himself being a chief man among his people to profane himself they
shall not make any bald place on their heads nor shall they shave the edges of
their beards nor make any cuttings in their flesh they shall be holy to their
God and not profane the name of their Lord for they offer the offerings of the
Lord made by fire and the bread of their God therefore they shall be holy
they shall not take a wife who is a harlot or a defiled woman nor they
take a woman divorced from her husband for the priest is holy to his God
therefore you shall consecrate him and this is the verse here therefore you
shall consecrate him for he offers the bread of your God he shall be holy to
you for I the Lord who sanctify you and holy so if you guys remember in what was
that chapter 18 the sexual morality one that was a lot of fun that we went
through that but remember he says to the Israelites six times I am the Lord
your God right I am the Lord your God six times and we theorize that possibly we
don't know why but the reason he may have said it six times is because on the
sixth day he made mankind and he's saying that I formed you I made you your
identity rests in me and the people of Israel are holy right the people of
God are holy and holy means purity yes 100% purity but it also means set
apart it's different right it's it's set apart to be used by God to honor him
and to live a certain way for him so yes it is purity but no one's perfect it's
impossible but it speaks of availability right it is like the the people of
Israel were set apart different from the world to be in relationship with God
and to be available to him to use them for his glory and for the priests he
goes a step further and beyond just the identity of he is their God he says in
verse 8 that they are holy because he offers the bread of your God and it is
I who sanctify you and I am holy so there is something tied some level of
holiness that is given to them because they cons they're consecrated and
offered the bread of their God so what's different they're they're not they're not
extra special they're still just people right they're just like the normal
Israelite but they've been given something really powerful and that is
they get to go into the presence of God right like the people walked in the
desert they saw the glory of God the presence of God but these priests
actually minister to him are in his presence in the temple and even on
the the day of atonement the high priest goes directly into the shekinah glory in
in the cloud and it's in his presence so this is why they are set apart extra
holy there their holiness is tied to his presence the proximity they have to his
presence and that means there's a higher responsibility and a higher calling
they are called to live holy right but never forget that it is God himself who
makes them holy and we see in John we can I'll turn there real quick John 6 or no
Luke this is really interesting this passage always kind of stuck out to me in
Luke 9 verse 57 now it happened as they journeyed on the road that someone said
to him to Jesus Lord I will follow you wherever you go and Jesus said to him
foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests but the Son of man has no
where to lay his head then he said to another follow me but he said Lord let
me first go and bury my father Jesus said to him let the dead bury their own
dead but you go and preach the kingdom of God so Jesus had a purpose here of one
saying I come first even before earthly responsibilities like he's not saying we
can't bury our father like it's not like verbatim to us but he was conveying a
message that I come first but I also think the Jewish people knowing the
law that the priests were not allowed to bury the dead would their ears would
turn on be like wait a second he can't bury the dead that's only for the priests
right only the priests are required to not touch the dead or bury the dead at a
funeral but Jesus is telling just a common person it don't bury the dead
follow me and preach the kingdom of God and what that tells me is maybe
Jesus was also speaking another message that will be confirmed later in the
New Testament that all people are called to be priests right that his
presence that is with the priests and the Old Testament the temple would now be
made available to every single human and it wouldn't be in a temple that they'd
experience God anymore but inside that's why it says that they are that we are
the temples of the Holy Spirit he would fill us so this is not a mandate you
can never bury anyone obviously right but it's a it's a second message I
believe he was saying I call all people to follow me all people to
preach the kingdom of God and all people are called holy because they're in my
presence just like the priest so the other day I was on the phone with a
friend of mine and you know he's going through some rough times he's actually
coming out of it but like crazy financial stuff he was taken advantage of by
this massive scammer who scammed like literally there's 50 felonies against
him and even impersonated a CIA officer like all the stuff so he's probably going
bankrupt anyway he said you know like I only really pray to God when I need
something that's how I was raised like you know technically I guess you could
say we're Christians but we never live that way or really think that way but
when we need something we'll pray you know and but I feel like I've been
praying to God a little bit more in the season like obviously you really need
something right and you know I just like that's common right number one that is
common for the world to do that right but also the Bible speaks of holy and
unholy things is really set apart in common right commons like everyday stuff
that doesn't have depth or significant value holy is set apart to be used by
God that way of living of just coming to God when you need something but not
really caring about him that's common and I encouraged him like hey like he is
real and it's good that you're at least calling on him but there's more right
that's common this is holy he's calling to holiness and I shared that my
relationship and it was a moment that honestly like when you're doing
evangelism I'm no expert at all but I feel like you can kind of go down to
track sometimes one is like all logical like defending the gospel and it's
like you can have a reason anybody into salvation right the other side's all
feelings and it's like someone poses a question and you're just like what I
don't know how to answer that but I feel good with God it's like we need to be
like Christians like we're in the middle we should be for a purpose we
have theology we have ways of defending the gospel but we also need to
share the testimony of what God's done in our lives right and I feel like a
huge part of that is honestly speaking of your love for God like that that hits
somebody different it's kind of weird when you're like man I just love Jesus
and like you know I just want to be with him all the time people are like hey but
I thought he wasn't real that's like you know I don't have to make it make sense
to you but you can tell my heart is like honest right now and how I'm
speaking about it so in this moment I said something I just felt it come
from my heart that I said like look I used to just call on God when I needed
things and stuff but I realized now as I walked with him and I've grown closer to
him how much I just need to be with him all the time right and he is the defining
thing about who I am like I wouldn't be myself without Jesus like and you know if
you boil my life down the one thing that has never changed is him right
like he is the foundation of who we are when you trust in Jesus that's
why he says when when those who hear his words and do them is like a master
builder who builds on the rock he becomes your foundation right and for the
priest back then the foundation of who they are was being in his presence was
offering the bread it was being in worship in the temple with him and
because of that they're holy and they're called to a higher level of
holiness so this don't bury the dead thing I shared you know how Jesus said like
don't bear the dead and that's kind of a picture how we're all priests but many
pagan religions back then were obsessed with death like they were death cults
they would kill people it for worship they would have funerals to cut
themselves shave themselves all the things that they just talked about and
they worship the dead and the people who passed away before but God's
saying I want you to have nothing to do with this like stay as far away priests
from death as you possibly can because God is life and sin is death right Romans
512 therefore just a sin came into the world through one man and death through
sin so death spread to all men because all have sinned sin has always been a
pick or death has always been a picture of the end result of sin if
you sin there's death that's what he said to Adam and Eve and then in John
10 the God being life he says the thief does not come except to kill steal and
destroy but I have come that you may have life and have it more abundantly so even
back then in the Old Testament God wants everyone to know who he truly is he's
the God of life not the God of death he's saying run away from all the
perverse ways of worshiping these fake Gods because you're worshiping me the
one true God who is holy and separate and I'm the God of life I give you
life he doesn't want his representatives in any way to be associated with this
death so honestly like why why does that matter well when Jesus called us
priests right there's a death that we need to stay away from like not physical
death we're allowed to go to funerals but in 1st Peter 2 it says you are a
chosen generation of royal priesthood a holy nation he has called you his
own special people that you may proclaim the praises of him who called
you out of darkness into his marvelous light right we're chosen we're anointed
like the priests so what is the death now well in Hebrews 9 it says how much
more shall the blood of Christ who through the eternal spirit offered
himself without spot to God cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve
the living God so the death that we should run away from as Christians is
sin the dead works right the old self the Bible says when you come to Jesus
your old self is crucified dead you're raised to life with Christ so yeah we
can go to funerals but don't ever associate and go back to your old dead
way of living because you serve a living God right and then he also says in
Hebrews 12 I urge you brothers and sisters in view of God's mercy to
offer your bodies as a living sacrifice not a dead one a living one holy and
pleasing to God this is your true and proper worship do not be conformed to the
pattern of this world which is death but be transformed by the renewing of your
mind he calls us to be a living sacrifice and honestly like this is
something that I feel I'm kind of experiencing more lately is just you
know walking in holiness and I'm like I don't mean like perfection I don't mean
that I mean just being set apart for him right like so many people have painted
holiness as religion right it's like oh religion oh you're a holy roller like
you're doing works to be like pleasing to God and in reality pursuing
holiness is a really Godly thing and what religion is is tolerating your sin
right like that's what the Pharisees did they tolerated their sin and went through
the motions just to look good so pursuing true holiness in your life is
actually like it says here is pleasing to God it's your acceptable like gift to
God is hey I want to give my life to you to be set apart and to be holy and I
just feel like over the last year or so maybe maybe even shorter I've just been
having a renewed desire just to like anywhere the Holy Spirit points out I'm
gonna I want to get it out of my life I just want to like in my actions worship
him and in the way I think worship him that's why Jesus says love the Lord your
God with all of your heart all of your soul all of your mind and all of your
strength and honestly like that's really been a game changer for me like
even just simple things like God I'm going to give you my time like God I'm
gonna give you my praise I'm just gonna tell you how much I love you right now
and I feel his presence right and we're marked by his presence where we are
different from the world not because we're good in ourselves but because we
have his presence inside of us so this bread thing there is so much in the
bread that I'm really excited to go through everybody with me still sometimes
when I'm talking too much I hope everybody yeah thanks thanks all right so the
bread let's read Leviticus 24 5 9 which I actually think I'm gonna have in a
couple weeks 24 verses 5 through 9 and you shall take fine flour and bake 12
cakes with it two tenths of an ifa shall be in each cake you shall set them into
rows six in a row on the pure gold table before the Lord and you shall put pure
frankincense on each row that it may be on the on the bread for a memorial and
offering made by fire to the Lord every Sabbath he shall set it in order
before the Lord continually being taken from the children of Israel by an
everlasting covenant and it shall be for Aaron and his sons that they shall
eat it in a holy place for it is most holy to him from the offerings of the
Lord made by fire so this bread Jesus says he's the bread of life in John 6 and
he gives the manna as an example but also so many theologians and people all
point to this bread which is called the bread of the presence is also a
picture of Jesus and also in Romans I think it is or you know Hebrews it says
that all these things this temple all these articles all the stuff is just a
picture of heavenly things so there's deep significance to what these things
mean so while I'm reading it the bread obviously Jesus is the bread of life my
mind goes there immediately but then I see some crazy things in there that
you could just like can unpack forever I feel like so on it is frankincense I'm
like okay frankincense the bread is covered in frankincense the bread is put
on gold okay gold and frankincense like wait where's the murder then like what
so the gold table is anointed with the anointing oil so I go and find out
what's in the anointing oil the major component beyond olive oil in the
anointing oil is myrrh that is a major major component of it so here the bread
of the presence of God that sits in his presence is on gold covered in
frankincense on a table covered in myrrh Jesus when he was born the wise men
prophetically brought these gifts to him maybe they knew why maybe it was
just the Holy Spirit and they had no idea why but Jesus being the bread
of life is given the gifts of gold frankincense and myrrh which was active
in this ritual here in the ceremony but it doesn't stop there because he's
born in Bethlehem Bethlehem the meaning of the word is the house of bread he's
born into a feeding trough which gives food to animals to eat like he is the
bread of life and every single aspect of his birth is portraying the truth that he
came into the world to feed us for everlasting life right and it even goes
further because the day before the Sabbath Friday is the day of preparation
the bread is prepared well on Friday Jesus we're coming up on Good Friday
was preparing himself for the ultimate sacrifice that his body would be broken
like the bread would be broken he says he was preparing to be crucified and on
Friday he was crucified the Sabbath the bread is presented to God and Jesus is
and it's presents and rests in the temple Jesus his body rests in the
grave and he gave his life to God right and while his body rests he
also declares his victory over sin death principalities powers and the spirits
and Hades his body is resting and there's his soul declaring victory right and the
priests on the Sabbath take of the bread and eat it the day of rest in a holy
place in rest they're eating of the bread of the presence and we eat the
bread of life right in rest it says we enter his rest because of the labor of
Jesus of giving his life for us now we have rest now and we have peace with
God and then on Sunday he rises again and now we can partake not of the bread of
death but the bread of life because he's living and it says we proclaim his death
until he comes we're proclaiming his death yes but it's until he comes
because he's alive he's the bread of life he gives life and he's died and
is living again and Jesus says like I said in John 6 I am the bread of
life he who comes to me shall never hunger and he who believes in me shall
never thirst and in that chapter he also says which is interesting says do not
labor for the food that perishes but for the food that endures to eternal life
which the Son of Man will give to you so I was thinking about this the natural
food that perishes that we labor for and then the spiritual food which the
Holy with which it says the Son of Man gives you physical bread we labor for
spiritual bread we receive the very first reference to bread ever in the
Bible is in Genesis 3 19 it says in the sweat of your face this is God
telling Jesus telling Adam like what happens now because you sinned in the
sweat of your face you shall eat bread till you return to the ground for out of
it you were taken for dust you are and to dust you shall return so the first one
occurs sweat right to just get enough to live now Jesus right who is the bread
of life he comes in the day before he's going to give his life for us he's
in the garden of Eden he's sweating drops of blood to the dust knowing that he would
have his body broken and to become a curse for us in Galatians 3 13 it says he
become it became a curse for us because curses everyone who hangs on the
tree the first mention of bread was a curse of labor and Jesus is saying
don't labor anymore for food that perishes but receive what I have for
you which is eternal life the second reference to food to bread is a blessing
so the first is a curse the second one is a blessing Melchizedek Genesis 14 then
Melchizedek King of Salem brought out bread and wine he was the priest of God
most high and he blessed him and said Abraham who is the father of faith
right he just had a great victory that came by the hand of God blessed be
Abram of God most high possessor of heaven and earth and blessed be God most
high who has delivered your enemies into your hand and he gave him a tithe of
all so here the second mention is a blessing from a high priest who we
barely know anything about who Jesus has mentioned to resemble in the New
Testament that he Jesus is a high priest in the order Melchizedek he's the most
mysterious person in the Bible you should read about him and here's the
father of faith now coming into relationship and communion with this
high priest and receiving bread and wine and receiving a blessing and I can't
help but think the first covenant right the curse of sin and death and
the law you have to labor to have acceptance by God now through faith like
Abraham the father of faith we can come into communion with Jesus and the first
time bread and wine is offered is in this blessing from a high priest Jesus is
our high priest right he has given us his body and his blood so that we
through faith are completely forgiven Ephesians 2 8 through 9 for it is by
grace you have been saved through faith and this is not from yourselves it is the
gift of God not by work so that no one should brose boast so here is the first
one a curse striving the second one a blessing through faith eternal life
and that's what Jesus said in John 6 don't labor for food that perishes but
for the food that endures to eternal life which the Son of man will give
you just like Melchizedek gave Abraham and today this is why communion is so
important like it's not just like a snack right and it's like you can't eat a
hoagie and soda and be like yeah this is communion like there's something
significant about it right and we we hear a lot of times like it is an
outward expression of an inward truth like baptism and it's just a way to
remember and I do agree with that totally like it is a way to remember and it is an
outward display of an inward truth all those things but it's something also
super super spiritual about it like anyone relate like when you're taking
communion and you're actually in the right headspace to think about what
this means don't you just experience him in like a special way and Paul talks
about people were getting drunk and eating too much of communion at the
church and they're getting sick and dying so like if this has so much
significance that you can get sick and die how much more significance if you
take it in the right way right there's something deeply spiritual and just
like the the priests were marked and set apart by his presence and had the bread
as a picture of that so we are marked and set apart by the presence inside of us
and we have this gift of communion that we can take whenever right I'm just
Luke 22 17 it says after taking the cup he gave banks and said take this and
divided among you for I tell you I will not drink again from the fruit of the
vine until the kingdom of God comes and he took bread gave banks and broke it
and gave it to them saying this is my body given for you do this in
remembrance of me in the same way after the supper he took the cup
saying this cup is the new covenant in my blood which is poured out for you thank
you Jesus that you did that thank you Lord that through faith through faith in
you Lord the bread of life that was broken for us God and your blood poured
out we can actually be made holy God and then we can actually be filled with
your Holy Spirit and thank you Jesus that Lord even when we feel weak and we
feel like we failed you God we can look at the holes in your hands and the side
and feet God that you still hold in heaven Lord your body still shows the
scar of saying look I forgiven you and I just thank you so much Lord that we
can commune with you got that we can just talk to you and be close to you
Lord and that you set us apart to be used by you we love you Jesus so there's a
couple of other topics on this I'll do the wife thing and then we can go to the
verse 9 which is pretty crazy so it talks about how the wife should be you
know holy essentially like not prostitute not this and that now this is pretty
amazing too because like Jesus is the true high priest right he's called us
priests but he's the high priest and we only were made priests because of him and
he's perfect and holy and just like the priest has meant to marry a holy
woman right that's undefiled Jesus wants to marry a holy church that is
undefiled and Adam before sin God opened up his side and removed the rib and made
us someone who is suitable for him a spouse Eve and Jesus on the cross is
pierced in his side and went into the deep sleep of the grave just like Adam
did and out of his side and out of his death comes a holy bride a holy spouse
the church and we might be messed up right but it's like we read above it is
God who makes us holy and so he's coming back for a holy church not like we're
gonna be perfect in and of ourselves right but he sets us apart and he's made
us holy because of his death for us and his resurrection okay let's talk about
verse 9 21 verse 9 the daughter of any priest if she profanes herself by playing
the harlot she profanes her father she shall be burned with fire now this is
crazy we don't read anywhere that this ever happened now there's three reasons
why that might have might be the case maybe no priest's daughter ever became
a harlot I pray that was the case Lord the second could be it was just never
written about and it happened I hope that wasn't the case but God could still
do that the third could be that maybe it happened but God showed mercy and when
I read the Bible I see tons and tons of stories constantly about people not
getting what they deserve right constantly like David right doing awful
things like adultery and murder like he should have been killed by the law if
you kill someone you are killed that's what the Bible says he wasn't and God
still called him a man after his own heart right so I believe that even if it
did happen I I'm sure maybe not all the time but many times God shows mercy
because he's quick he is slow to anger abounding love right he shows
mercy and faithfulness to generations and generations but there's one scenario
where burning with fire for this adultery actually was threatened and this shoot I
didn't write down the reference but I remember the story so Judah and Tamar
you remember this Judah a tribe of God one of the tribes of Jacob where yeah
Israel so one of the tribes of Israel he has a daughter-in-law and his son is
evil God kills him so the next son comes up is supposed to give her children
he's evil does something evil on on you can read about it I don't feel like
talking about it he gets killed so now Judas like okay you can have my third
son when he gets old enough he's too young right now then he gets old enough
he doesn't give him her that him as wife and back then like if you don't
have kids and you're a woman and you're you know a widow or divorce
whatever like you didn't have like any power in society you weren't taking care
of so it was like a necessity that they were taken care of so she does this
crazy thing pretends to be a prostitute Judah sleeps with her not knowing it's
his daughter-in-law and then gives her like his signet ring and staff and
stuff and she then goes home and they don't see each other for three months
and then he finds out she's pregnant and he says come out here let me burn
her she should be burned a fire she committed adultery and then she pulls
out his staff his signet ring and said you judge who these belong to and he
realizes it's his and he's like you've been more righteous than I have like he
was aware of his sin and he didn't kill her there was no fire tomorrow I believe
had Perez but if you read the genealogy of Jesus and Matthew 1 tomorrow is
mentioned in the genealogy Jesus came from her a woman who committed an
adultery and should have been burned with fire and wasn't so what does that tell
me like God is at work in sinners lives to protect them even from what they
deserve from him right he shows grace he shows mercy Jesus New Testament story
he a woman's commit caught an adultery and what does he say much like the
Tamar story he says he who is without sin cast the first stone neither do I
condemn you go and sin no more everyone was aware of their own sin just like
Judah was and realized we're all sinners like she doesn't even deserve this and
Jesus forgives Jesus is the same God of the Old Testament and the new right he
was in both so what I see is God is merciful he forgives a repentant
heart and we have no idea what happened here but we know he's loving and he
probably most likely forgave many of these women amen now let's the high
priest basically says the same thing but instead of being able to go to their
dad's funeral they can't even go to their dad's funeral so we can hop over
that verse 16 speak to Aaron saying no man of your descendants and
succeeding generations who has any defect may approach to offer the bread
of his God for any man who has a defect shall not approach a man blind or lame
who has a marred face or any limb too long a man who has a broken foot or
broken hand or a hunchback or a dwarf or a man who has a defect in his eye or
eczema or a scab or as a eunuch no man of the descendants of Aaron I feel
bad for the scab guy like how long does that scab lasting and is he
disqualified for life we don't know no man of the descendants of Aaron the
priest who has a defect shall come near to offer the offerings made by fire to
the Lord he has a defect he shall not come near to offer the bread but here's
the good news he may eat the bread of his God both the most holy and the
holy only he shall not go near the veil or approach the altar because he
has a defect lest he profane my sanctuaries for I the Lord sanctify
them and Moses told it to Aaron and his sons and to all the children of Israel
so to be in the presence of God you have to be holy
and to go into the most holy a place was only for the high priest right
but we know like it says I can read it but I'll just summarize it that
these are all shadow of heavenly things right these were taking physical
stuff there's nothing morally wrong with having a scab but there's a symbolic
picture that if there's something wrong with you you can't be in the presence
of a holy God but we have Jesus right the forerunner who passed through the
heavens into the true holy of holies after he died and the veil which was
in the temple tore in half and we know if the temple is a picture of the
heavenlies and the heavenlies change the temple has to change to reflect the
heavenlies so the separation between God and man and the necessity to be
perfect is now broken because Jesus was broken for us so now the veil had to
tear and it says that we can go into the holy of holies and in addition
to that this holy holy God comes out and fills us right
we're not we're not imperfect anymore right it says we've been crucified with
Christ right is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me it's faith to say
that because we know sometimes we're not perfect like we're not we don't feel
like Jesus right but it takes faith and it takes obedience and walking in a
spirit right if you walk in the spirit you will not gratify the lust of the
flesh but these people in the Old Testament couldn't go because they
were imperfect and I love Hebrews 4 because it speaks to it while we're
still we're actually perfect in God's eyes but on this side of eternity we
can still struggle with things that's why Jesus is the best Hebrews 4 seeing
then that we have a high priest a great high priest who has passed through the
heavens Jesus the Son of God let us hold fast our confession for we do
not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weakness but was in all
points tempted as we are yet without sin let us therefore come boldly to the throne
of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need so here
he's saying just like in it for the Levites the priest who had defects you
might not be able to go in the holy of holies one day you will with Jesus
but even back then he's that he was saying you can eat the most holy bread the
bread of the presence and even us in our weaknesses we have a high priest the
bread of life who can sympathize with us that while we're struggling we can still
go into the throne of grace and find help and partake of the holy of
holy bread Jesus himself amen so I don't really have a closing for this
but I just you know it does Hebrews 4 speaks for itself and I can end there
let's just pray Lord just thank you so much I thank you God that you understand
us Lord that you became one of us God yet without sin yet still 100% you and I
pray God yeah that we would realize were set apart by your presence God
that you fill us that's why we're different we're not common we're holy
God and in that Lord we can walk in holiness you call us to walk in
holiness and that's actually a beautiful act of worship Lord is the
greatest thing we can do for you is to be a living sacrifice and it makes you
happy it makes you joyful Lord and even when we sin and we fall and we're
tempted and we give in Lord you still see us like you see your son you
still see us wrapped in the righteousness of Jesus and that we can boldly
still come to you to the throne of grace which speaks of power the power of the
Holy Spirit to be able to do what you've called us to do Lord and I thank you
for your mercy I thank you for your grace I thank you for your sacrifice

our souls and I pray that this week even tonight Lord in our discussion time I
