Just because. 50 00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:26.800 I think I think you're very capable of that. 51 00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:28.639 I'm capable of it. You're more likely. 52 00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:30.800 I'm more likely. I definitely. 53 00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:33.840 Family has so many photos of you guys in costume. 54 00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:34.879 Oh for sure. 55 00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:37.439 I have like maybe three or four of our family 56 00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:37.960 in costume. 57 00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:40.680 Every every week for drunken treat or whatever it's called. 58 00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:42.360 Every week every year. 59 00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:46.919 You you dress up. Yeah, so you're there with stuff? 60 00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:49.639 Yeah sure, yeah, yeah, you're right. We we we do 61 00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:52.000 more more stuff like that. 62 00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:54.800 Okay, so you're a pajamas guy. You walk in your 63 00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:58.159 house pajama I'm gonna surprise you. You have costume pajamas? Do 64 00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:00.560 you do you have like Superman Batman? 65 00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:04.879 No, not not that I have more. I have Lions pajamas. 66 00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:06.680 But that's not the same thing. It's not like a person. 67 00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:09.080 Yeah, okay, well it sounds like I. 68 00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:15.400 Have Marvel pajamas, but they're not like a specific person. 69 00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:21.719 But it has a bunch of superheroes on huh. Actually 70 00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:24.680 I have multiple Marvel. I have multiple Marvel. 71 00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:25.560 Okay, good for you. 72 00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:30.039 Yeah, thanks, all right. So, uh, number two, who's most 73 00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:35.240 likely to clap when the plane lands? Again, that's probably me. 74 00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:39.280 I don't clap. People do clap. We landed in Africa 75 00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:40.680 a couple days ago and everybody claps. 76 00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:45.400 Yeah, you know what. I don't usually clap, but I do. 77 00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:47.520 I do every once in a while. Join them in clapping. 78 00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:48.840 Yeah, yeah, I'll do it. 79 00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:51.080 So and that probably a little bit more than you. You 80 00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:52.080 probably would never clap. 81 00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:56.280 Clap. Yeah. One time, one time we were coming in 82 00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:58.439 and we were the last place to last plane to 83 00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:02.800 land coming into Houston, and we landed literally sideways. I 84 00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:06.520 don't know how the pilot put the plane down. So 85 00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:08.960 we're coming and I'm looking out my windows straight down 86 00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:11.919 the runway as the landing strip. We're coming like this 87 00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:14.360 and we were just bouncing, and I can remember at 88 00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:19.519 one point, I don't know how our wing didn't hit 89 00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:22.519 the ground like I was sitting just next so I 90 00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:25.639 could see the wing and it looked like we missed 91 00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:28.240 the ground by feet is what looked like. And then boom, 92 00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:30.839 he set it down straight and everybody clapped. I clapped 93 00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:32.519 on that way. Everybody was clapping on that one. Yeah, 94 00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:35.240 for sure, thought while we're dying today, right, we landed. 95 00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:36.839 So one time I did, but most of the time 96 00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:38.639 I don't. Okay, here's another one, Chris and I already 97 00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:40.399 know the answer is who's most likely to start a 98 00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:41.000 flash mob. 99 00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:46.120 Oh jeez, I've done flash mob. I've been a part 100 00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:48.560 of flash Okay, so you're three for three. I think 101 00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:48.879 I am. 102 00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:51.160 You are three for three on this one. Yeah, okay, 103 00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:53.040 few is okay? 104 00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:56.160 Number four? Who's most likely to get rid of their 105 00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:59.800 smartphone and go back to using a flip phone with me? 106 00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:02.079 That is definitely not me. 107 00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:02.759 It's me. 108 00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:06.480 That is definitely you. Yeah, now tell me why you 109 00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:07.439 give me a sentence on that. 110 00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:11.040 I think that the social media stuff and emails and 111 00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:15.519 texts have become an addiction for one, yep, but bigger. 112 00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:18.639 It's a leash, and people yank our leash and they 113 00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:21.839 distract me from the things I want to be doing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 114 00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:24.480 Hey look at this right. Sometimes it's really important. Hey, 115 00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:26.120 we need to help on this far And they start 116 00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:28.519 a fire. They could have put the fire out, but 117 00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:30.079 instead they want me to come put the fire out. 118 00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:32.360 So sometimes that's it. Sometimes I'm the only one to 119 00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:34.680 put out a fire. So sometimes it's a good thing 120 00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:36.399 they have me on a leash. They yank the leash, 121 00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:39.879 I come running. Other times people yank the leash and 122 00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:42.199 they pull me out of the focus I have with 123 00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:45.240 the person I'm with to watch a cat video playing 124 00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:48.759 a piano, but most of the time not Ah, I'd 125 00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:51.759 say half, it seems a third, but third of the 126 00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:55.079 things are not emergencies, but they yank the leash. 127 00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:58.480 But a simple question, isn't a cat video? 128 00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:01.160 Yeah, but it pulls me out of it. It's the equivalent. 129 00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:03.040 I cannot see anybody sending you truly. 130 00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:06.600 I get I get memes, but yeah, it's it's equivalent. 131 00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:09.680 I'm totally dialed in on this, me and you or 132 00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:13.319 on this project suddenly ding and people's habit is grab 133 00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:15.439 the phone, look at it now.

So 136 00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:22.079 I love the idea going back and flip. 137 00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:24.800 And by the way, my son, but I won't my 138 00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:26.560 son Stephen would join you on this. 139 00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:30.639 Thank you, Steven.

I'm like, I just mailed this in 193 00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:04.840 on a whim. 194 00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:07.039 Riah loves me and she just keeps sending this to me. 195 00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:08.879 Yeah, And so I couldn't get out of that fan 196 00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:11.440 club fast enough. Uh So, but I was in it 197 00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:14.080 for like six months before I finally like did something 198 00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:16.320 about it. Wow, so sorry about that. 199 00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:19.039 Okay, that's that is an embarrassment. This is one of 200 00:09:19.080 --> 00:09:22.519 the best episodes, one of the best moments of our relationship, 201 00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:27.000 that you, finally, after all these years, came clean. Yeah. 202 00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:29.759 Well, I'd be honest with you. I doubt that my 203 00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:32.840 wife even remembers that statement. Wow, like, like it was 204 00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:36.240 so long ago, and I don't ever talk about it. 205 00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:39.519 Okay, I wouldn't. I wouldn't talk about either. You just 206 00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:42.080 told a few thousands of your closest friends here I know, 207 00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:45.240 I know, and it's under that fraternity just so you know. 208 00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:48.879 But it's pretty deal. I love this. Well, then I'm 209 00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:50.519 going to vote for you. I'm going to say that 210 00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:54.159 you are most likely yes, right, so you can't imagine 211 00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:57.679 doing it, but you're more likely than me to run 212 00:09:57.679 --> 00:09:59.240 a fan account for someone famous. 213 00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:03.879 Well, you know, speaking of things that we don't like. 214 00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:07.480 Jesus didn't like being on the cross. 215 00:10:08.039 --> 00:10:12.320 Oh no, no, that's terrible. Okay, now that's sorry. If 216 00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:14.879 that's our transition, what okay, No, No, that's great. 217 00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:15.720 Is it wrong? 218 00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:16.200 No? 219 00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:18.440 No, he is anything that I said wrong? No, you 220 00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:21.440 are correct, speaking of things that you don't like. 221 00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:22.279 Yeah, that's true. 222 00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:24.120 Jesus didn't like being on the cross. 223 00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:25.879 I'm sure that's correct. 224 00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:27.600 Yeah, you're right. It does sound a little sacrilegious. 225 00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:28.679 Yeah, it's a rough. 226 00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:29.159 There's a rough. 227 00:10:29.159 --> 00:10:30.960 I want to distance myself from that one. 228 00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:32.600 Should we ed. 229 00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:35.759 We'll leave it, sure, Yeah, we should leave it. Okay, 230 00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:36.960 everybody's heard it already. 231 00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:39.000 Well know of that, but I well, I mean not 232 00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:39.679 if we edit it. 233 00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:40.759 I know, but we didn't. 234 00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:44.360 Okay. Well, here's the thing. I wasn't trying to be sacrilt. 235 00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:46.440 I know, I know, I know. That's why. Okay, that's why. 236 00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:48.320 Okay, it's about the hearts intent. 237 00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:56.360 Yeah, that's right. So we are in John chapter nineteen. 238 00:10:56.519 --> 00:10:57.039 Yes we are. 239 00:10:57.200 --> 00:10:58.720 And I want to pick up like in the middle 240 00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:02.159 of verse sixteen, because I hate the first part of sixteen. 241 00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:03.519 Stop I'm joking. 242 00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:06.399 The pilot turned Jesus over them to be crucified. 243 00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:09.000 Yeah, that part, Oh, I hate it. So then it says, 244 00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:12.679 so they took Jesus away, and carrying the cross by himself, 245 00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:15.639 he went to the place called the Place of the 246 00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:19.279 Skull in Hebrew Golgotha, and there they nailed him to 247 00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:21.639 the cross, and two others were crucified with him, one 248 00:11:21.679 --> 00:11:24.679 on either side, with Jesus between them, and Pilot posted 249 00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:27.399 a sign on the cross that read Jesus of Nazareth, 250 00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:30.480 King of the Jews. The place where Jesus was crucified 251 00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:33.720 was near the city, and the sign written in Hebrew, Latin, 252 00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:36.759 and Greek, so that many people could read it. Then 253 00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:39.480 the leading priests objected, said the pilot change it from 254 00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:42.320 the King of the Jews to he said, I am 255 00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:45.000 the King of the Jews. But Pilot replied, no, what 256 00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:48.799 I've written, I've written. When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, 257 00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:51.159 they divided his clothes among the four of them. They 258 00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:53.399 also took his robe, but it was seamless, woven in 259 00:11:53.440 --> 00:11:56.159 one piece from top to bottom. So they said, rather 260 00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:58.720 than tearing it apart, let's throw dice for it. This 261 00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:01.399 fulfilled the scripture that said they divided my garments among 262 00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:04.200 themselves through dice for my clothing. So that is what 263 00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:07.080 they did. Standing near the cross where jesus mother and 264 00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:11.320 his mother's sister married the wife of Cleopus and Mary Magdalene. 265 00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:14.840 When Jesus saw his mother standing there beside the disciple, 266 00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:18.360 he loved. He said to her, dear woman, where's your son. 267 00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:19.399 Here's your son. 268 00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:20.320 Oh, here's your son. 269 00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:21.960 What did I say, where's your son? 270 00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:25.679 You're correct, just checking if you're paintation. You are correct, 271 00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:28.720 dear woman, here is your son. And he said to it, 272 00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:32.000 to this disciple, here is your mother. And from then 273 00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:36.879 on this disciple took her into his home. Jesus knew 274 00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:39.120 that his mission was now finished, and to fulfill the scripture, 275 00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:42.600 he said, I'm thirsty. A bar of a jar of 276 00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:45.080 sour wine was sitting there, and so they soaked a 277 00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:46.840 sponge in it and put it on a hiss up 278 00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:50.000 branch and held it up to his lips. When Jesus 279 00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:52.879 had tasted it, he said, it is finished. And then 280 00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:56.879 he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. There 281 00:12:56.919 --> 00:12:57.120 you go. 282 00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:02.600 I had seen somebody, you know, as somebody ever sent 283 00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:04.879 you videos and they say, watch this, it's incredible, and 284 00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:07.720 it's like a Bible video, and it's like all these 285 00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:10.919 different studies and different things. Somebody had just sent me. 286 00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:12.960 A good friend of mine, Eddie, sent me a video 287 00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:17.399 and said watch this. It is incredible. And it was 288 00:13:17.440 --> 00:13:23.559 God's command during the original Passover in Exodus chapter or 289 00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:27.200 whatever it is, twenty nineteen, it was a hiss it branch. Yeah, 290 00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:29.759 and the fact that it was actually requested to be 291 00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:33.480 a hissit branch to dip in the blood and put 292 00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:37.480 it on the wooden posts above the door. How Jesus 293 00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:40.240 is shedding his blood on the wooden posts of the 294 00:13:40.279 --> 00:13:45.559 cross and then they hand him up sour wine to 295 00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:50.360 fulfill his thirst with a hissop branch. So you've heard 296 00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:50.840 that before. 297 00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:53.440 No, Okay, I was just picking up on the hissop 298 00:13:53.480 --> 00:13:54.840 branch and realized where you're going with the other. 299 00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:55.080 Yeah. 300 00:13:55.120 --> 00:13:57.600 Yeah, I was actively listening, but I interrupted you. No, no, no, 301 00:13:57.919 --> 00:13:58.840 I got excited about. 302 00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:01.919 Where you nailed it. So that's really what it is. 303 00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:04.080 It's it's the fact that both were hissit branches. And 304 00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:07.440 remember we just said this just yesterday and yesterday's podcast. 305 00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:10.399 We're gonna need to have it and go no way, right. 306 00:14:10.519 --> 00:14:13.559 There are probably little things like that where you know, 307 00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:15.559 we'll probably have a lot of time, well we will 308 00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:17.039 have a lot of time to talk to Jesus about it, 309 00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:19.360 and he'll he'll say, oh, yeah, the reason why I 310 00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:21.559 did that is this. The symbolism is this. There are 311 00:14:21.559 --> 00:14:24.279 going to be so many connected dots from the Old 312 00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:26.799 Testament to the New Testament, from the fulfillment, the promises 313 00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:28.679 and the fulfillments that I think we're going to be 314 00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:29.200 blown away. 315 00:14:29.320 --> 00:14:31.600 Yeah, I think so. And so it's interesting. You know, 316 00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:33.360 they're supposed to put it on the door posts and 317 00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:37.759 on the on the mantle above, and then you know, 318 00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:40.360 same thing with the cross. The cross was you know, 319 00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:44.919 the sides at the top, the vertical, horizontal. And Jesus said, 320 00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:47.519 I am the door, which is interesting. That's an interesting 321 00:14:47.559 --> 00:14:51.519 phrase that he uses there. But he's he's saying, I'm 322 00:14:51.600 --> 00:14:53.600 the one that's going to open the door to the kingdom. 323 00:14:53.879 --> 00:14:56.240 That's why God chose the door solution. I think there's 324 00:14:56.240 --> 00:14:58.440 a lot of reasons like that. But anyways, on this 325 00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:00.840 one here he is, he's on the cross. 326 00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:01.519 Yeah. 327 00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:08.440 They they gamble over his clothes. Yeah, which incidentally, those 328 00:15:08.519 --> 00:15:10.399 must have been nice clothes. It didn't even have a 329 00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:10.919 seam in it. 330 00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:11.480 Yeah. 331 00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:13.320 Well, and so they gambled over his clothes. 332 00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:14.840 They say, let's not pull it apart. 333 00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:15.200 Yeah. 334 00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:19.000 So it has to be it has to be. Yeah. 335 00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:21.720 So people always say, well Jesus was poor because he 336 00:15:21.720 --> 00:15:24.039 didn't have a house. Because he always said he didn't 337 00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:25.799 have a place to lay his head, right, But it 338 00:15:25.960 --> 00:15:28.639 never really said that. It just said that he just 339 00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:29.799 didn't have place to lay his head. 340 00:15:29.960 --> 00:15:30.080 Right. 341 00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:32.600 There were a lot of people who actually supported Jesus 342 00:15:32.679 --> 00:15:36.360 ministry who had means. Yes, And so Jesus was I 343 00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:39.159 assume well dressed. He was a hard working man. I'm 344 00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:43.759 sure he had rough hands. Carpenter is a hard working man, right, Yeah, 345 00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:46.039 so you know he's gonna be definitely like he has 346 00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:48.519 that blue collar part of him. But at the same time, 347 00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:51.440 you know he was provided for as well. 348 00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:57.480 Right. There's a when when we were in uh Tiberius, 349 00:15:57.559 --> 00:16:00.440 which is right along the Sea of Galilee, getting ready 350 00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:04.279 to leave and head down to Jerusalem. And I had 351 00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:06.360 that the night before, was looking through a book and 352 00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:09.919 realized just down the street, just down the road is Magdala, 353 00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:13.799 where Mary Magdalene was from, and there's a it's a 354 00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:18.320 newer excavation, not brand new, but newer, and there's a 355 00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:22.759 first century synagogue that the floor is still there and 356 00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:25.600 some of the mosaic and things, and there's a podium 357 00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:27.639 and a few things there. And so I wanted to 358 00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:29.759 stop there. I want to go see it. And the 359 00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:31.720 guide said, oh, yeah, we have time. So we went 360 00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:35.519 and we had some people on that trip, some of 361 00:16:35.559 --> 00:16:39.840 our listeners that are, you know, successful business people that 362 00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:43.039 have done some pretty meaningful things with their their careers 363 00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:45.559 and have some extra resources, and I thought this would 364 00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:49.000 be a meaningful space to visit. So we go and 365 00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:51.360 we walk around. It's very moving because this is one 366 00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:53.679 of the few places you know for sure Jesus walked 367 00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:56.840 on those stones. Looking at that little tiny synagogue, we 368 00:16:56.960 --> 00:16:58.840 know Jesus would have been there to teach in the 369 00:16:58.840 --> 00:17:02.879 synagogue He taught in this So there we sit down, 370 00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:05.640 there's some seats in the area. We sit down and 371 00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:08.759 I read this passage. It says in Luke chapter eight. 372 00:17:08.799 --> 00:17:11.599 After this, Jesus traveled about from town to town, village 373 00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:14.160 to another, proclaiming the good news of the Kingdom of God. 374 00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:16.279 And the twelve were with him, and also some women 375 00:17:16.279 --> 00:17:19.160 who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases, Mary 376 00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:23.000 called Magdalene, Joanna, the wife of Shuza, manager of Herod's 377 00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:26.160 household Susannah, and many others. And these women were helping 378 00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:30.640 to support them out of their own means, not him them. 379 00:17:31.759 --> 00:17:34.880 These four women funded Jesus in the twelve disciples all 380 00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:39.880 of their ministry for three years, right, And I just 381 00:17:39.960 --> 00:17:43.119 highlighted the fact that, hey, this town Magdala, Mary Magdalene 382 00:17:43.119 --> 00:17:44.599 had a lot of things that maybe she felt like 383 00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:47.680 she wasn't qualified for significant ministry or big impact. But 384 00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:49.599 what she did is she funded the ministry of the 385 00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:52.759 disciples and of Jesus himself, right, and along with these 386 00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:54.559 other women that were a part of that. And I 387 00:17:54.559 --> 00:17:57.039 think that there's something special when we begin to realize 388 00:17:57.039 --> 00:18:00.079 we all can have a part in God's ministry and 389 00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:02.319 in what God is trying to do in the world 390 00:18:02.359 --> 00:18:04.519 around us. And that's what she did there. So you 391 00:18:04.599 --> 00:18:10.880 have Jesus had donors essentially, people that were making it happen. 392 00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:14.839 And think about you know, you and I are preachers, 393 00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:18.960 we're pastors. There are some pastors they you know, buy 394 00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:21.519 their private jets and drive their Bentleys and you know, 395 00:18:22.359 --> 00:18:24.720 and all that kind of stuff. But that's not who 396 00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:28.880 we are, right. But the ministry that you and I have, 397 00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:32.519 we could not do. It doesn't matter how I tell 398 00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:34.160 people all the time, I think you're one of my 399 00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:37.160 favorite preachers. I love being on this team with you. 400 00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:38.119 Thank you man. 401 00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:43.920
