How Much Has Jesus Done For You?

Heavenly Father, your word is powerful.

Through your word you create.

Through your word you save, turn us into new creations.

And it is before that mighty word we humble ourselves now and incline our ears.

Lord, would you speak to us?

Teach us about your son, Jesus Christ.

And challenge us.

Change us.

So we become bold witnesses of the good news we receive from him.

Amen.

It's in his precious name we pray.

Amen.

Luke chapter 8, verses 22 to 39.

Luke 8:22–39

Amen.

One day he got into a boat with his disciples and he said to them, let us go across to the other side of the lake.

So they set out.

And as they sailed, he fell asleep.

And a windstorm came down on the lake and they were filling with water and were in danger.

And they went and woke him saying, master, master, we are perishing.

And he awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging waves.

And they ceased.

And there was a calm.

He said to them, where is your faith?

And they were afraid.

And they marveled, saying to one another, who then is this that he commands even winds and water?

And they obey him.

Then they sailed to the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.

When Jesus had stepped out on land, there met him a man from the city who had demons.

For a long time he had worn no clothes, and he had not lived in a house but among the tombs.

When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him and said with a loud voice,

What have you to do with me, Jesus, son of the most high God?

I beg you, do not torment me.

For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man.

For many a time it had seized him.

He was kept under guard and bound with chains and shackles,

but he would break the bonds and be driven by the demon into the desert.

Jesus then asked him,

What is your name?

And he said,

Legion.

For many demons had entered him.

And they begged him not to command them to depart into the abyss.

Now, a large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside,

and they begged him to let them enter these.

So he gave them permission.

Then the demons came out of the man and entered the pigs,

and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned.

When the herdsmen saw what had happened,

they fled and told it in the city and in the country.

Then people went out to see what had happened,

and they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone,

sitting at the feet of Jesus,

clothed and in his right mind.

And they were afraid.

And those who had seen and told them how the demon-possessed man had been healed.

Then all the people of the surrounding country of the Gerasenes

asked him to depart from them,

for they were seized with great fear.

So he got into the boat and returned.

The man from whom the demons had gone begged that he might be with him,

but Jesus sent him away, saying,

Return to your home and declare how much God has done for you.

And he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city

how much Jesus had done for him.

This is the word of the Lord.

It's not every day that we get to witness something that has extraordinary power,

something eye-inspiring, so powerful that it's unnerving to be in the presence of.

Maybe something like the tornadoes of the Great Plains of Oklahoma,

or maybe earthquakes that can topple buildings,

as in California or other places,

or tsunamis like Indonesia and Japan.

When you encounter something like that,

it makes you feel so small,

and it fills you with fear and wonder

because of the sheer power and force of it.

And here in this passage,

they encounter such force of nature,

but they encounter something even more powerful than that.

They encounter a person who has power over nature

and even over the evil spirits

that can rule a human being.

And this passage is intended to confirm for us,

that's Luke's intention,

Jesus' identity as the Son of God and the Messianic King.

And in this passage, we learn that

as those who have experienced Jesus' saving power,

we should proclaim what he has done for us.

That's really the main point of this passage.

And the passage is divided into two sections.

First section, we see Jesus' power over nature,

verses 22 to 25,

and then his power over demons in 26 to 39.

First, let's look at his power over the demons

in verses 22 to 25.

So one day, Jesus invites his disciples

to go and across to the other side of the lake.

And verse 23 tells us that

as they sailed, Jesus fell asleep.

And the windstorm came down on the lake

and they were filling with water and were in danger.

So the lake in view is the Sea of Galilee,

which sits about 700 feet below sea level,

and it has hills surrounding it.

And because of its geographic setting,

the cool air rushing down the hills

would sometimes collide with the warm air

sitting on top of the sea,

and it would create sudden storms.

It's not an uncommon event.

And so on this occasion,

the windstorm that occurred in this manner

was so severe that their ship was filling with water,

and it was endangering the entire crew.

But interestingly, Jesus was fast asleep.

So verse 24 says,

The disciples went and woke him, saying,

Master, Master, we are perishing.

Their later response to Jesus' miracle

shows that they weren't expecting Jesus

to perform a miracle.

Since the ship is about to sink,

they're kind of indignant that Jesus is sleeping.

I mean, what is going on here?

Surely we could use an extra pair of hands

to mend the sail or at least dump some water out the boat.

Like, what?

Jesus, Master, Master, help, we are perishing.

So this is not a faith-filled response,

but it's a fearful response,

a faithless response.

And we can hear their panic

in the way they repeat the word,

Master, Master, Master.

We're perishing.

And when Jesus is woken up by his disciples,

it says in verses 24 to 25,

He rebuked the wind and the raging waves,

and they ceased.

And there was a calm.

He said to them,

Where is your faith?

And they were afraid,

and they marveled,

saying to one another,

Who then is this,

that he commands even winds and water,

and they obey him?

So there's a deliberate contrast here

that Luke is drawing

between Jesus' sleeping

and his disciples panicking.

That's instructive for our own lives.

Look at verse 23 one more time with me.

It says,

As they sailed,

he fell asleep,

and a windstorm came down on the lake,

and they were filling with water

and were in danger.

Of course,

it's the boat that's filling with water,

but not the passengers themselves,

but by saying that they,

the disciples,

were filling with water,

Luke conveys this kind of sense

of present immediate danger.

It's an emergency.

So the boat was getting swamped with water,

and they were feeling swamped

and overcome themselves,

and so they wake Jesus up urgently,

and notice the stark contrast,

Jesus is sleeping

while the disciples are getting swamped,

in danger,

and they say they are perishing.

You wonder how they can be in the same boat, right?

And the contrast is revealed,

the point of the contrast is revealed

in Jesus' implicit rebuke in verse 25.

He said to them,

where is your faith?

Jesus is identifying the source

of the disciples' fearfulness

as their faithlessness.

They panicked whilst he rested

because the difference is in the faith.

The fact that Jesus was with them

did not keep the disciples

from getting caught in a dangerous storm,

and later in Luke's sequel to his gospel,

the Acts of the Apostles,

the book of Acts,

the fact that the Holy Spirit

is with the disciples

does not keep them from getting martyred

and persecuted for their faith in Jesus.

So the fact that you are a Christian

and that God is with you

does not mean that your entire life

will be smooth sailing.

However, the fact that God is with you

does mean that you can trust him

and rest in him

in the midst of your trials and sufferings.

Do you feel swamped in your life?

Do you feel like you're being overcome?

Do you feel threatened by your life's circumstances?

Do you fear that you are perishing?

What you're facing has not caught God by surprise.

He's still reigning majestically from his throne,

and he has total control

over the minutest detail

of this world and of your life.

And that all-powerful,

all-knowing God

is not a cruel tyrant,

but he is your loving father

if you are a Christian.

He's your gracious helper.

And it's faith in that reality

that dispels fear from our lives,

and that faith is the key

to resting in God.

Psalm 121, 1-4 says this,

The God who made heaven and earth

is our help,

and it's because the God who keeps us

does not sleep

that we as his people

can sleep in peace.

A faith-filled Christian

can, and they still do,

get tired and sleep-deprived,

but a faith-filled Christian

is never restless.

So if your life is characterized

by restless busyness,

a frantic attempt

to regain control of your lives

that seem to be spiraling out of control,

or frantic attempt

to avoid something

that you dread and fear,

then let Jesus' incisive question

dwell in your mind today.

Where is your faith?

Is God God or not?

Does he care for you or not?

Even when we are manning the ship,

it's the Lord who is ultimately

in control and driving our lives.

Only those who have faith,

Jesus teaches here,

can sleep on a ship

being tossed to and fro

by the waves.

And Jesus' admonishment

of his disciples

for their lack of faith

in this passage

does make it appropriate

for us to apply it

to ourselves

and encourage us,

ourselves,

really to trust in God

and have faith in him

in the midst of our circumstances.

But that's actually

not the main point

of this passage.

The main point comes

at the end,

verse 25,

when the apostles

themselves ask,

who then is this

that he commands

even winds and water

and they obey him?

Because this question

comes at the end

of the section,

it's what's emphasized

and what sums up

this entire episode.

So who is this Jesus

that even the winds

and water,

these inanimate

and powerful forces

of nature,

they obey him?

Look again at the language

used,

verse 24,

Jesus rebuked the wind

and the raging waves.

He spoke to them

as if they're people.

He spoke to them

as if they're well-trained pets

that will respond

to his every command.

It's similar to how

Jesus rebuked the fever

earlier in chapter 4.

Who then is this

that he commands

even winds and water

and they obey him?

And this is a weighty question

because throughout

the Old Testament,

it's God himself

who commands winds

and water.

Psalm 104.3,

Psalm 135.7

describes God

as the one who brings

forth wind

from his storehouses.

Psalm 104.3

describes

God poetically

as the one who rides

on the wings

of the wind.

Not only that,

recalling God's deliverance

from Israel,

deliverance of Israel

from Egypt

through the Red Sea,

the Old Testament

frequently describes

God as the one

who rebukes

the sea

and makes it dry.

It's God

who rebukes

the sea

throughout Scripture.

So when Jesus

rebukes the sea

and it does

his bidding,

when the storm

calms down,

the question

is automatically

raised.

Who then

is this

that he commands

even winds and water

and they obey him?

And the only

biblically

consistent answer

to that question

is that Jesus

is the Lord God.

So do you know

about this Jesus?

If even winds

and the waves

obey him,

Luke is implying

that Jesus is someone

we should follow

and obey.

And some of you

are here today

not yet as followers

of Jesus Christ

but as observers.

Considering the teachings

and the claims

of Jesus,

wondering who Jesus is,

and these accounts

are not a product

of people's imagination.

The earliest followers

of Jesus

were not politically

powerful

and following Jesus

meant persecution,

exclusion,

and martyrdom

for many of them.

They persisted

as witness

of Jesus Christ

not because

it was socially,

financially,

or politically

advantageous for them

but because

they had been

confronted by

events like this.

And ultimately

the death

and resurrection

of Jesus

that forced them

to come to terms

with who Jesus

really is.

Who is this man?

The Gospel of Luke

is not a fairy tale.

In fact,

from the beginning

to the end

it has clear marks

of the best

of Greek historiography.

Sir William Ramsey

is a 20th century,

he was a Scottish

archaeologist,

he died.

By the time

he died though,

he was considered

the foremost authority

on the history

of Asia Minor.

And he was trained

in the Tübingen

school of thought.

It's the German

skeptical thought

line of theology

where people doubted

the reliability

of the New Testament.

That's how he was trained.

And he brought

that skeptical lens

to the Bible

not expecting it

to have any accuracies

with the decisive

bias against it.

But as he was studying

Luke in particular

and the geographical

and historical details

that he included

and with great precision,

he wrote this,

Luke is a historian

of the first rank.

Not merely are his statements

of fact trustworthy,

he should be placed

along with the very

greatest of historians.

Who do you say

Jesus is?

Who then is this

that he commands

even the winds

and water

and they obey him?

Jesus is not just

a great teacher

or a sage.

He claimed to be

the son of God

and his works

attest to that reality.

And if he really is

who he said he is,

that he is worthy

of our worship.

He is worthy

of our complete

submission

and allegiance.

And if you're not yet

a follower of Christ,

I urge you this morning

to come to terms

with who he is

today.

Having demonstrated

Jesus' power

over nature,

Luke next recounts

an event

that demonstrates

his power

over spirits.

In verses 26

to 39,

he has power

not only over

the physical realm

but also over

the spiritual realm.

When the waters

come down once again,

it says in verse 26

that Jesus and his

disciples sailed

to the country

of the Gerasenes,

which is opposite

Galilee.

And it's important

to note that this

is a Gentile region.

It's the Gentile region

opposite Galilee

where primarily

non-Jews lived.

Verse 27 continues,

When Jesus had stepped

out on land,

there met him

a man from the city

who had demons.

For a long time

he had worn no clothes

and he had not lived

in a house

but among the tombs.

Luke tells us

that this stranger

had demons,

plural.

Multiple demons

have possessed this man

and this is confirmed

later by verse 30

as well.

Luke does use

the singular

in verse 29

to refer to them

as a unity

in an abstraction

of the demon

but this is a plural,

this is a multiple possession.

There are many demons

who have indwelled this man

and so that's not,

this is not an ordinary

demon possession.

And as a result

he went around naked

for many years

but he's probably

covered with scars,

no clothes,

so much shame

and ostracism

that comes with that

as well.

And he lived

among the tombs

so he's really living

a ghastly existence.

And the Jews

in particular

considered contact

with the dead

including the tomb

and being in the vicinity

of the dead

it brought ritual uncleanness

according to Numbers 19.

So the fact

that this man

is living among the tombs

highlights this man's

uncleanness.

Not only is he possessed

by an unclean spirit

he's ritually unclean

he's among the dead.

Everything about

this place

and this man

is unclean.

And verse 28

tells us that

when he saw Jesus

he cried out

and fell down

before him

and said with a loud voice

what have you to do

with me Jesus

son of the most high God

I beg you

do not torment me.

Of course

this is not really

the man speaking

but the demons

who not control him

and once again

Christ's identity

comes to the fore.

Who is this man?

And unlike

Jesus' disciples

who have trouble

recognizing Jesus

for who he really is

these demons

have no trouble

they say clearly

he's the son

of the most high God

recognizing his

superior authority

and power

and to demonstrate

that they prostrate

themselves before him

and they say

two things.

First

they say

what have you

to do with me?

He's saying

basically

Jesus

what do you

the son of the most high God

have to do with me

unclean spirit?

We have nothing

to do with each other

so let's leave

each other alone.

Second

the demons

get more specific

and they say

I beg you

do not torment me.

So they fear

some kind of torment

something that Jesus

can do to them

and exactly

what kind of torment

is in view

will be explained

later in verse 31.

So they were

begging Jesus

this way

and the reason

is given here

for he had commanded

the unclean spirit

to come out of the man

for many a time

it had seized him

he was kept under guard

and bound with chains

and shackles

but he would break the bonds

and be driven by the demon

into the desert.

So Jesus

had commanded

the unclean spirit

to come out of the man

which suggests

that the demon

was inside the man

and the demon

was begging Jesus

not to torment him

after he comes out.

So Luke gives us

further details

in verses 30 to 31

but before he does that

just

just

for a moment

he tells us

how unmanageable

this demoniac

really was.

The demon

it seems

there were cycles

of possessions

he took over

this man's life

on many occasions

and even though

people tried to

restrain him

with shackles

chains

literally

they tried to

tame him

put him under guard

they put guards

on him

yet this man

with some kind

of superhuman strength

probably demonic

would break the bonds

and be driven

by the demon

into the desert.

this man

was uncontrollable

because he was

controlled by a demon

but Jesus does

hear what was

previously

unimaginable

he holds

a seemingly

sane conversation

with this man

or rather

with the demons

controlling the man

it says in verse 30

Jesus then asked him

what is your name?

some people

make much

of this

dialogue

people who are

I think

maybe a little bit

too fascinated

with demons

and exercising demons

they say

this is the process

you're supposed

to name them first

and then you can

control them

that's not

what this is about

at all

there are many

occasions when

Jesus simply

expels demons

without naming

them at all

that's not what's

going on here

but it does show

Jesus' power

and his complete

peace and control

over this situation

you think

when you're faced

with such a

terrifying human

being

you immediately

try to do

something

but here

Jesus has no

he's not in a

hurry

he's not fearful

what is your name?

and he says

legion

for many demons

had entered him

the word legion

comes from the

Latin word

for a military

unit made up

of a thousand

soldiers

we don't know

if that's literal

here

that this is

literally a

thousand demons

but there's

definitely a lot

of demons

and this name

introduces the

element of

spiritual warfare

what's happening

here

what we're

viewing right

now is a

form of

spiritual warfare

here is literally

an army

a thousand unit

legion

army of

demons

and here's

Jesus

our champion

and you

would expect

an epic battle

but there's

no fight

only a brief

discussion

of the

terms of

surrender

demon says

in verse

28

he said

in 28

I beg you

do not

torment me

he now

elaborates

in verse

31

they begged

him not

to command

them to

depart

into

the

abyss

so the

torment

that they

feared

is some

kind of

confinement

in what

is called

the abyss

we don't

know exactly

what the

abyss

is

but

2 Peter

2 Peter 2:4

chapter 2

verse 4

does mention

a place

called the

chains of

gloomy

darkness

where

disobedient

angels are

kept until

the final

judgment

it seems

that that's

maybe what

the legion

is fearing

and seeking

to avoid

please don't

send us

to the

abyss

it's a

remarkable

display

of Jesus

power

here is

an army

of demons

and here's

a demonic

whom no

man could

control

and here

he is

prostrate

before Jesus

begging him

and verses

32 to

33

continue the

story

now a

large herd

of pigs

was feeding

there on

the hillside

and they

begged him

to let

them enter

these

so he

gave them

permission

then the

demons

came out

of the

man

and entered

the pigs

and the

herd

rushed

down

the

steep

banks

into

the

lake

and

drowned

anything's

better than

the abyss

since Jesus

will not let

them indwell

a man

they will

settle for

indwelling

animals

and they

begged Jesus

for the

permission

to do

so

so and

we're not

told why

Jesus gives

them

permission

but the

fact that

Jesus is

in the

position of

giving out

these

permission

slips

to these

demon

armies

serves

to reveal

Jesus

extent

the extent

of his

authority

these

powerful

demons

can't

even

enter

the

pigs

without

Jesus'

express

permission

so the

demons

enter the

pigs

and drive

them

down the

steep

bank

into

the

lake

and

some

people

get to

this

point

of the

story

and

they

think

poor

pigs

but that's

to miss

the point

of the

story

first

these

pigs

are a

visual

representation

of the

havoc

that the

demons

were wreaking

inside

the man

so our

first instinct

should be

praise

and rejoicing

at the

man's

deliverance

and not

lament

for the

pigs

God cares

about the

animals

yes

that much

is clear

from

Jonah

411

when God

says that

the numerous

cattle in

the city

of Nineveh

is one of

the reasons

why he

didn't want

to destroy

it in the

first place

he cares

about the

animals

but no

creature

in this

world

compares

to the

value

of a

human

being

created

in the

image

of God

there's

no question

what's

more

important

no

hesitation

second

these

pigs

are in

a

Gentile

region

Jews

wouldn't

even

keep

them

so

presumably

they're

being

raised

for human

consumption

anyway

they just

died a

little

early

the humans

get

they miss

out

and the

third

thing

is that

Luke

is making

a larger

narrative

point

since the

Old Testament

scriptures

categorize

pigs

also as

ritually

unclean

and therefore

unfit

for Jews

to consume

the biblical

reason for

this is

given in

Leviticus

11

7

and the

pig

because it

parts the

hoof

and is

cloven

footed

but does

not

chew

the

cud

is

unclean

to

you

that's

not the

reason why

we normally

think of

them as

unclean

right

pigs still

have the

reputation

of being

unclean

nowadays

and that's

because they

don't really

sweat

so they

need to

cool their

body down

by regulating

temperature

by wallowing

basically taking

mud baths

so we think

that they're

unclean

because of

it

but apparently

as I was

doing some

research about

this

they're one

of the

cleanest

animals

around

unlike dogs

and cats

that like to

pee and poop

in their living

quarters and

eating quarters

actually pigs

will refuse to

do that

unless they

have to

and so

pigs are

apparently clean

animals in that

sense

hygienically clean

but they're

ritually unclean

and that's the

larger point

and why are they

ritually unclean

and the reason is

kind of puzzling

right

Leviticus 11

said because

they part the

hoof but it's

cloven footed

and does not

chew the

cud

and the reason

is this

it's that

they are

a deviation

from God's

creative design

animals that

have parted

who were

supposed to

chew the

cud

that's the

type of

animal

the category

that they

belong to

and because

it's a

hybrid of

that

it represents

a deviation

of God's

creation

design

and of

course

this is

intended to

teach a

larger lesson

for the

people of

God

the Jews

he's teaching

them that

as a

chosen

people of

God

that you

ought to

be set

apart

and you

ought to

be clean

and you

ought to

live in a

manner that's

consistent with

God's

creative design

unlike these

Gentiles

unlike the

rest of the

nations

and that's

the lesson

that these

dietary

restrictions

convey

these are

unclean

they're not

consistent with

the creative

design of

God

so Luke is

making a

larger point

that it's

and it's

no accident

that Jesus

enters a

Gentile

region

encounters a

demoniac

who lives

among the

tombs

which is

unclean

who is

possessed

by an

unclean

spirit

expressly

described that

way in

verse 29

and so

that they

and expels

them to

enter the

unclean

pigs

when they

go off the

cliff

and they

die

Jesus

is driving

out

uncleanness

from

this

Gentile

region

he is

bringing

even

the

Gentiles

from

the

nations

into

God's

glorious

salvation

plan

this

point

is

emphasized

over and

over again

in the

gospel of

Luke

Ephesians

2

11 to

13

11 to

16

rather

puts it

this

way

therefore

remember

that at

one time

you

Gentiles

in the

flesh

called

the

uncircumcision

by what

is called

the

circumcision

which is

made in

the flesh

by hands

remember

that you

were at

that time

separated

from

Christ

alienated

from the

commonwealth

of Israel

and strangers

to the

covenants

of promise

having no

hope

and without

God

in the

world

but now

in

Christ

Jesus

you

who

once

were

far

off

have

been

brought

near

by

the

blood

of

Christ

for

he

himself

is

our

peace

who

has

made

us

both

one

and

has

broken

down

in

his

flesh

the

dividing

wall

of

hostility

by

abolishing

the

law

of

commandments

expressed

in

ordinances

that

he

might

create

in

himself

one

new

man

in

place

of

the

two

so

making

peace

and

might

reconcile

us

both

to

the

Jews

had

broken

their

covenant

with

God

and

the

Gentiles

were

excluded

from

this

covenant

with

God

and

both

were

alienated

from

God

separated

from

him

because

of

their

sins

and

excluded

from

the

kingdom

of

God

but

Jesus

Christ

reconciles

them

both

by

reconciling

them

to

God

so

that

in

him

they

are

brought

together

as

one

new

humanity

and

citizens

of the

kingdom

of

God

Jesus

does

this

by

dying

on

the

cross

for

our

sins

as

the

atoning

sacrifice

and

he

fulfills

the

entire

requirement

all the

requirements

of the

law

by

doing

that

his

blood

becomes

the

agent

of

our

cleansing

so

that

all

those

who

acknowledge

their

sinfulness

and

humbly

come

to

him

and

entrust

themselves

to

Jesus

for

salvation

are

cleansed

of

their

sins

and

reconciled

to

God

have

peace

with

God

that's

what

we

do

when

that's

what

we

practice

and

express

when

we

observe

passing

of

the

peace

as

a

part

of

our

service

we

have

peace

with

each

other

only

because

that

hostility

the

dividing

wall

has

been

broken

down

because

of

our

union

with

Christ

our

reconciliation

with

God

we're

now

common

citizens

in the

kingdom

of

God

when

the

Nazis

invaded

France

in order

to

appease

Hitler

the

Portuguese

dictator

Antonio

de

Oliveira

Salazar

issued a

decree

that

no

Jew

is to be

granted passage

to

Portugal

even if they were

fleeing from

the Nazis

but

Aristides

de

Souza

Mendez

I don't

know if

you guys

have

heard

the

name

there's

a

big

Portuguese

population

here

so

he's

kind

of

like

a

folk

hero

here

but

he

was

a

Portuguese

consul

at the

time

this

decree

went

out

in

the

country

of

Portugal

and

he

made

this

announcement

to

his

staff

I

cannot

allow

all

you

people

to

die

many

of you

are

Jews

and

our

constitution

clearly

states

that

neither

the

religion

nor

the

political

beliefs

of

foreigners

can

be

used

as

a

pretext

for

refusing

to

allow

them

to

stay

in

Portugal

I've

decided

to be

faithful

to

that

principle

but

I

shall

resign

for

all

that

the

only

way

I

can

respect

my

faith

as

a

Christian

is

to

act

in

accordance

with

the

dictates

of

my

conscience

so

he

stayed

in

his

post

and

he

issued

approximately

30,000

visas

to

Jews

and

other

stateless

refugees

what

Jesus

did

for

us

as

our

mediator

is

far

greater

than

what

he

did

what

that

man

did

for

the

Jews

we

were

not

only

aliens

but

we

were

rebels

undeserving

of

access

into

the

kingdom

of

God

we

were

facing

imminent

death

and

not

only

physical

death

but

eternal

spiritual

death

because

of

our

sins

but

Jesus

grants

us

passage

he

signs

our

papers

with

his

blood

he

reconciles

us

to

God

the

father

and

makes

us

citizens

in

the

kingdom

of

God

that's
