No Longer | John Challinor

Welcome. If you're new here, just know that's

not something we take lightly. If you're here

and you're going, man, I always refer to it personally

as just like the dating phase. You know what

I mean? You're dating the church to figure out

if we smell or if we've got any weird habits

or that kind of stuff. If we're going to leave

you with the bill, that kind of thing. But just

know you being here, I personally believe it's

by design. I don't think you're here by chance.

And I don't think that you being here is just

another Sunday. Like you stepped into, I don't

know if you realize this or not, but you stepped

into a moment that can pass us by if we let it.

And we have to move slowly enough to see the

moment. Here's what I mean. You step into a room

of people and normally in a group this size and

in a space like this, there's a variety of people.

Some have said yes to Jesus. Some are still navigating

and going, man, I like this Jesus. I don't know

if I can trust him. Some are like opposed to

Jesus and you're here to just prove why you're

opposed to Jesus, that kind of thing. And so

it can be easy to miss what just happened. But

we have the gift. It's a gift to come in and

be able to sit next to other people that are

all in different places on the journey, but to

hear those who are ahead of you on the journey,

to raise their voice. and not be afraid to raise

their voice. And maybe they raised their hands

and you're like, well, that's weird. Why are

they raising their hands? It's not a concert.

Do that at a concert. But the idea that you were

here and you got to experience people going,

there is no one else. And like they're saying

it from the sense of conviction, church. There

is no one else who is worthy, who matches up

to. Who has greater value than the person of

Jesus. And you got to experience that. We get

to experience that together. Do you realize that

in that song, one of the lines that I love in

that song is that you get to do something that

not even the angels can do. I don't know if you

caught it or not. But that song, right, like

what it is speaking about is what Jesus has done

for you, what Jesus has purchased for you, that

you were lost and now you are found, right? That

you had no standing with God and because of the

person of Jesus, you're made right with God.

That your future eternally is secure in the person

of Jesus. And so that creates in you a thanks.

Can you believe just the cosmic story? That a

God would love you enough and love me enough

that he would show up in person and do for us

what we cannot do for ourselves, pay a debt that

we couldn't pay, right? That we would be given

this life and given this moment and put into

this room with other people to go, no one else

is worthy. You know what your no one else is

worthy is? It's just a thanks. It's gratitude.

And you know who can't do that? The angels. Because

they haven't even experienced that for themselves.

They got to watch you and watch God pursue you

and watch God love you enough to show up so that

you could stand in a room and go, no one else

is worthy, only Jesus. That's the privilege.

Think about it. I don't think as you were singing,

maybe you were, but I don't think anybody was

going, who else is worthy? And you're like, me.

I'm worthy, right? It's not happening. The collective

voice is raising and going, no, no, no. Don't

let your eyes settle here. Don't let your eyes

settle here. Get your eyes to what really matters.

I don't think anybody was singing worried about

someone coming through the door because you mentioned

the name Jesus in a public space and now your

life, we may not make it out of here. I don't

think anybody's worried about it. We have a gift.

We have such a freedom. This is a... This is

such a gift and such a freedom to be able to

come in here together and not be worried about

someone coming in because you said the name of

Jesus in a public space. What a gift. What a

moment. And we've got to learn how to slow down

and cherish and nourish that and go, man, let

it feed your soul for the rest of the week. That's

the value of what this is. And it's this beautiful

moment. And sometimes we treat it like just another

latte. It's just another church service. I just

gotta make it through an hour. Church is boring.

Meanwhile, what just happened in this room is

resonating throughout the caverns of heaven.

I assume there's caverns there. It's resonating

and resounding in the very presence of God. And

it was your voice because only you can bring

your voice in the presence of God. And this isn't

in my notes, so we probably should move on. In

Matthew 13, 44, Jesus tells the story. And the

story is framed in... that the kingdom of heaven

is like. Okay, so it's this idea of the kingdom

of heaven. It's God's rule and reign, his domain.

And this is what it's like. And then it goes

on to tell the story of a man who went to a field.

And when he got to the field, he discovered that

the field had a treasure. And it says that he

took that treasure and he hid the treasure. Now

in that culture, for you to hide the treasure

was for you to protect it. So what we first see

about this man is as he comes, his actions change

determined by the value that he found within

the treasure. And he hides it and he protects

it. And it says that he goes away and he gets

back to all of his stuff. All of the stuff that

once carried this high value for him. He gets

back to it and it says that he sells it all.

The things that had captured his heart at one

point that meant so much. He sells it all and

he goes back to the field and he buys the field

because he knows the treasure, the value that

the field holds. When you find something that

you value, it changes the way that you live.

When you find something that you value, When

you find something that is so worth it, something

that you just can't live without, something that

has such meaning and value and beauty, that all

of a sudden it changes the way you interact with

everything else. Maybe even things that you once

felt were valuable, you now live differently

towards them because of what you found. That's

the essence of what Galatians chapter five is

leading us into. And over the next two weeks,

at least, we're gonna spend some time just looking

at Galatians five. And today, what I'd love to

do is just kind of give you a lens and kind of

a framework that we're gonna look over the next

few weeks at Galatians five through. Because

what we find in Galatians 5 is it's Paul trying

to help the church in Galatia through this letter

to go, hey, how do you live this life? How now

do you live this life when everything has changed?

And so he starts out in verse 1. He says this.

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.

has set us free. What is the purpose of the whole

cosmic story? What is the purpose of the grand

narrative of this God who would leave heaven,

that would become a man, that would go to a cross,

that would suffer and die, taking the sin of

the world, my sin, your sin, on him, leaving

it in a tomb, rising again, death defeated, sin

defeated. What is the purpose of this whole story?

Your freedom. is the purpose of the entire cosmic

story. It is for freedom that Christ did what

he did. Why? So that you could be free. Now,

when we talk about freedom, we have to be careful

because we can easily associate freedom in this

passage to, well, that's political freedom. At

this time, this world was not free. It was under

the oppression of the Roman Empire. So the world

was not politically free. So Paul can't possibly

mean political freedom that you've been saved

for. We enjoy political freedom, but I wouldn't

count on political freedom, right? Like we look

at things like, well, it's economical freedom,

right? Like come to Jesus and everything gets

better and you get rich. That's a terrible gospel

and is not true. How do I know it? Look back

at the people that lived this out. Lots of them

lived in poverty. They lost their business circles.

They lost their social circles. They were worse

off for saying yes to Jesus, not better. And

so what happens here then, what happens here

is the freedom has to mean something else, that

you have been set free. You have been set free.

And it has to be in a much larger sense of what

God's doing in the universe. And then it says

specifically, says specifically something about

you. That it is for freedom that Christ has set

us free. That's identity. That's who you are.

I don't know if you feel that today or not, but

that's who you are right here, right now. You

are free because of the person of Jesus Christ.

Well, what am I free from? What does this look

like? So what I'd love to do is, kind of create

this framework. But the framework is born out

of maybe taking a picture from football, if we

can, okay? So if you don't like football, maybe

daydream for a minute, come back. So in football,

imagine, let's make it a high stakes game, Super

Bowl. And the Steelers are in the Super Bowl.

I told you, we're daydreaming, we're daydreaming,

right? But you're in this game, right? And you

receive the playbook of the other team. I mean,

every single play that they're going to do for

that game, every single one, they're not going

to deviate from it. They're going to run this

plan. And so you look at it and play number one

is they're going to run a draw to the right side.

What do you do with your defense? You stack the

what? Right side. Why? Because that's where they're

going to attack. And so you stack your right

side and you defeat them. Right? We understand

it in a sports context. What we're given here

by Paul. is we're given the cheat code, if you

like, the way to live, the way to live in this

life, right here, right now, because he reveals

the enemy's plan through what he's saying. What

do I mean by that? Well, we're gonna use a couple

of phrases. We'll use them over the next couple

of weeks. But on one side of this, you've got

the phrase no longer, right? So no longer refers

to who you are. are. Here's what I mean, right?

The context of Galatians has been this idea of

slavery, like that you've got to work hard, you've

got to earn it, you've got to gain it. And Paul's

coming along and going, in Christ, you have been

set free. You no longer are under that. You no

longer are under all these rules and regulations

to try and earn God's favor. He goes, you're

free from that. So what happens is what was true

of me is I was a slave. I was a slave to having

to perform. I was a slave to having to earn my

own worth and try and get a good standing with

God. That's who I used to be. I'm no longer that.

Why? Because now I am free. And so what happens

is you follow this all the way through, right?

You didn't have a right standing with God. You

had no relationship. In fact, you were guilty

before God. Jesus shows up, dies on the cross,

and what's now transferred to you on your life

is that you are no longer guilty, right? So what

was true is I was guilty. I am now no longer

guilty. I am now not guilty because of the blood

of Jesus. And you continue to follow this through.

The idea of I've got to work and earn God's forgiveness.

So on one side, I've got, I'm unforgiven. Well,

in Jesus, you are no longer unforgiven. You guys,

you realize right now, right now, today, even

with all the feels you got, you will never be

more forgiven than you are right now. You'll

never be more forgiven. How do I know that? Because

in the droplets of blood from God himself on

a cross, it says that he paid for all of your

sin. All of it, past, present, future. It was

all paid for. So what that tells me today is

you are no longer unforgiven. You are forgiven.

What was true of you is no longer true. Why?

Because of the person of Jesus. The idea of self

-worth, right? That I earn my own worth, that

I earn my own standing with God, that's no longer

true. Why? Because now I have Jesus' worth. What

Jesus did for me, that gives me worth, right?

The idea of self -effort, right? That I just

gotta work hard enough, strive hard enough, do

enough good things. Can we just talk about something

for a second? When somebody tells you, well,

you're not a very good Christian, you know what

I want you to tell them? That's not in the Bible.

That phrase is not in the Bible. But somehow

we associated it with, okay, there's good Christians

and there's bad Christians. Well, I guess I'm

just a bad. No, no, you know what the Bible has?

People who believe Jesus died for them on the

cross and they become sons and daughters and

people that don't. Right? That's it. It's that

simple. You either are a follower of the way.

You are, in the term we use as Christian, you

either are that because you put your faith, trust,

and hope in the person of Jesus and what he's

done, or you don't. But this whole idea of there's

good and there's bad, all that is is me trying

to get self -effort to be in the good category.

That's no longer true of you. Why? Because you

have Jesus' effort. What gives me any standing,

any worth? It's not what I've done. It's what

he's done. And the sooner we wrap our heads around

this, the sooner we begin to understand where

we actually live. And so on the one side, you

have this idea of this is no longer true. All

these things that once were true of me. They're

no longer true. You're no longer a slave. You're

free. You're no longer guilty. You're not guilty.

You no longer don't have a standing with God.

You have a right standing with God. At one point

in your life, you were trying to earn God's favor.

You don't have to. You already have God's favor

and you're in grace. Right? All of a sudden I

stand on this side where my entire identity is

changed. What's also true on the other side,

you'll see another phrase that says not yet.

And what not yet is this, that you have an inheritance

that is promised for you in eternity. That your

inheritance, what the idea of heaven, the new

heavens, the new earth, right? Like in everything

that that brings, your complete identity, because

you may stand here and especially next week when

we get into the idea of I'm not being a slave

to sin, right? Like not living for my own desires

and passions. You may go, well, I know that's

true, but I don't feel that, right? That doesn't

change that it's true. It means you just don't

feel it. What is true of you is that you have

been set free for how long? All of eternity,

right? Like what's true of you, what's true of

you is that your right standing with God lasts

for all of eternity, void of how you feel here

and void of what you experience in life. Your

inheritance, that you are a son and you are a

daughter means that you're a co -heir with Jesus,

that everything that is promised to Jesus is

promised to you. That's all in eternity. But

here's the thing. How do I know it's not yet?

Well, it tells me in eternity, there's no more

death. Anybody experiencing death still? Right?

There's no more pain. Anybody experiencing pain?

That tells me what? We're not there yet. So what's

true of you is your identity is completely changed

and I'm still not in eternity with God yet. So

that leaves this. You are in the in -between

life. I'm living in between. I have a complete

new identity, but I'm in the in -between life

because I'm not yet in eternity. I'm not yet

face to face. I'm still living by faith. I'm

not living by sight yet. And here's what the

enemy knows. Ready? This is the enemy's kind

of game plan. The enemy knows. He cannot change

your identity. He cannot change who you are,

who Jesus has made you. He can't touch that.

Everybody excited about that? He can't touch

it. What I mean by that is this. He can't come

to you and go, oh, you think you're not guilty?

Ah, I'm gonna say you're guilty. He can't change

that. That's your identity before God, your right

standing. Oh, you think you have a relationship

with God? I'm gonna change that. You don't have

a relationship anymore. He can't change that.

Oh, you're free? No, you're not. You're a slave.

He can't change that. Oh, you think you're forgiven?

No, you're not. You're unforgiven. The enemy

cannot change that. He does not have that power

over your life. Only God has the right and the

power to tell you who you are in Jesus. And he

paid for it to be true. So in this context, the

enemy can't do anything to change your identity.

Your identity is given by God in the person of

Jesus. Now, what the enemy also knows is that

you have an inheritance and a future and he can't

touch it. Your inheritance is secure. He doesn't

get to go, oh no, we're revoking your past. He

doesn't have that power. The enemy is so dumb.

It's okay to call the enemy dumb. He's not that

big and scary. I know the creator. He's a little

bigger. But the enemy still thinks he can win.

But I got a story that tells me that Jesus wins.

So what is the enemy doing? If he knows he can't

win, what is he doing? Well, he's going to get

whatever he can. What can he get? He can't get

your identity. He can't get the no longer. He

can't get your future. But he can get the in

-between life. And that's what Paul is writing

about in this section. He is writing about the

in -between life. How do you live in the in -between

where you have been set free? How do you navigate

this life? And so he goes on and he says, in

that verse, he says, stand firm then, stand firm

then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again

by a yoke of slavery. Stand firm then. What does

stand firm mean? It means become who you are.

Become who you are. Become who you're going to

be. So in between, what he's saying is don't

let the enemy pull you back and convince you

of things that are no longer true of you. Don't

let the enemy pull you back and tell you things

that aren't true of who you are, that God's upset

with you because you did that last night. God's

not upset with you. Why? Because when he looks

at you, he sees the person of Jesus and he sees

his sacrifice and what he has done and your standing

has not changed before God just because you chose

to do something. Isn't it funny how twisted we

get this, you guys? I don't know what kind of,

maybe you're not churched and there's a blessing

to that, trust me. I've been in church for as

long as I can remember. Swore I would never do

this. God had different plans. I can remember

going to Sunday school as a little kid. Worst

name ever for kids' church, by the way. No kid

likes to go to school on the weekend. But we

had Sunday school. And you would show up, and

you know what? If you showed up with your Bible,

guess what would happen? You got a gold star.

If I showed up, and I could say the Bible verse

from the week before, that was two gold stars.

And then guess what? If I had perfect attendance

for whatever block of time that was set, that

was another gold star. And if you got just enough

gold stars, you got a reward. Now, I'm not knocking

anybody that did that culture, grew up in that

culture, whatever. But isn't it fascinating that

what was connected to me is if I do these things,

I will earn what? I will earn some kind of favor.

Now, translate that to a grown man. I have my

prayer time this morning. I'm closer to God.

No, I'm not. I couldn't be closer to God than

I already am. The prayer time is just an expression

of love in the relationship that I have with

God. Isn't it funny? Like we get up and we're

like, ooh, I got my French press. It's already

going to be a good morning or whatever your coffee

of choice is. And I got some quiet time and I

opened my Bible and I actually read a chapter,

a whole chapter today. Oh, God's got to be like,

we're just, we're tight today. You were tight

before you ever started the coffee. But it's

subtle, right? It's subtle what the enemy wants

to do. The enemy wants to shift. So instead of

my time with Jesus being, I have found something

so valuable that everything else taints to it.

So why wouldn't I spend time with what I value?

And so now the reading of my Bible is so that

I can get to know this God. There's so much value

and beauty inside of it that now when I sit with

my Bible, it's about understanding him and seeing

him and understanding his heart and letting that

change me. But what the enemy will want to do

is what? Shift it back to, ah, attaboy, good

job. I think it's interesting that it's just

wired, and we'll talk about it next week, but

it's wired inside of us to earn God's approval.

It's wired inside of us to think that God is

mad. that God is upset, that he is angry, when

all that's flowed from the very throne of God

is deep, passionate, pursuing love. You're so,

I'm not preaching this in a, woo, look at you,

you're amazing. I'm preaching this from God's

perspective. You are so valuable to him that

he cannot live without you. And what does the

enemy wanna do? The enemy wants to, his battle

plan is if he can get you to forget who you are

and what you've been given and forget the God

that loves you and convince you otherwise, in

the middle, you will live like you don't even

know Jesus on the other side, which is why he

says what he says next. Mark my words, I, Paul,

tell you, That if you let yourselves be circumcised,

that idea of circumcised is that you're still

trying to earn God's favor. You're still trying

to self -effort this thing. You're still trying

to self -worth this thing. Christ will be of

no value to you at all. The enemy knows. The

enemy knows, you guys, that if he can get you,

if he can get you to believe the lies, to believe

that the things that were who you were pre -Christ,

pre -Jesus, If you can believe those and live

in the middle like those things are true, he

knows that you devalue Jesus with your life because

your life will be about you. Think about it for

a second. The idea of self -worth, who are my

eyes on? Me, you guys, I can remember so many

times in my life where communion would happen

and I would have instant feelings of guilt and

shame and unworthiness. I can remember like sitting

in communion, going through this list of what

the last two days have been, let alone the last

week and being like, God, I'm so sorry. I just

need your forgiveness. And all the while, all

the while, a moment that should have been my

eyes being on Jesus and his worth and how valuable

he is and what he has done for me became how

wretched I am and my eyes are on me and how I

got to beg for this and I got to prove myself

to God and then he will. That is not, that is

not, that's the enemy getting in and going, hey,

you're believing the wrong thing because truth

is he has already done it and there's nothing

left to get. And so the enemy wants to convince

you what? If the enemy can convince you that

you live like you used to be, then guess what?

Christ has no value to you. You devalue him.

The other thing that the enemy will do, and we'll

talk about this more next week, but the enemy

wants you to believe that your future isn't secure.

The enemy wants you to believe, he wants you

to forget, right? Think about it for a second.

If you really get an idea of heaven and being

with God, and you really get an idea of what

the kingdom of heaven is like, then you long

for it. You can't wait to be face to face and

not walk by faith anymore, but walk by sight.

You can't wait for a space where there is no

death and there is no pain. Like it just becomes

this deep passion of yours that all of a sudden

when I see what is ahead, when I see the future,

when I see what God has promised, all the things,

just like the man with the field, all of a sudden

they don't look so good. All of a sudden, in

light of the universe and what God is doing in

the grand narrative, in the light of my future,

all of a sudden I don't try and get that house.

Because it doesn't matter. All of a sudden, it's

not about trying to find the right person and

always trading up. All of a sudden, it's not

about getting the best experience of this world

and wringing it for everything it has. It doesn't

matter. It loses its value. It's not there anymore.

And if the enemy can convince you to get your

eyes on earth instead of eternity, then you will

live the in -between trying to collect everything

you possibly can here, trying to hold on to it

with everything you've got. You realize, right,

you're gonna get old. You're gonna get old. And

what's crazy is in our culture, you can get shots

for that. I don't mean drinking shots. That would

be one way of doing it. Right? I can get an injection

that pulls my face up a little bit. I can do

these things to try and stay young forever. The

problem is you're not going to stay young forever.

And 20 years from now, it's not going to look

so good because your face is going to be all

tight and nothing else is. You realize wrinkles

are beautiful. Wrinkles prove that you have lived

a life worth living. Wrinkles, wrinkles prove

that you are that much closer to eternity. And

that is a good thing because this place sucks.

We just got to put it in perspective. We hold

on to this like, oh, this is amazing. It's not

even a shadow of what's to come. And at some

point we have to realize. That if the enemy can

convince you that this is worth holding on to,

right? Versus going, I'm letting go because I

know my inheritance. When you can let go and

you see some of these people and you're around

them, you're like, it's like they don't care.

Why? Because what they've learned, what they've

learned is in the in -between, in the in -between,

only one thing matters. Look at verse six with

me. For in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision

nor uncircumcision has any value. So all he's

saying, you might be going, if you're new to

this whole thing, you missed a couple of weeks,

why are we talking about circumcision? This is

weird, right? Okay, so in their culture, in their

tradition, their religious tradition, there was

a belief that to be in the in crowd, to be closer

to God, then this had to happen, right? And so

what he's getting at is neither of those things

actually matter. right? Like your self -effort,

whether you do it this way or that way, none

of that matters. Your to -do list of how do I

be good? How do I make God happy? None of that

matters. Listen to what he says, how we should

live. The only thing, okay, if I say only, this

is the only thing. Pretty pointed, right? The

only thing, the only thing that counts. is faith

expressing itself through love. The only thing

in this in -between life, between my new identity

in Christ, this in -between and what is to come

in eternity, the only thing that counts is that

by faith, I reject. The enemy's battle plan.

By faith, I go, this is who I am in Christ. I

am no longer a slave. I am no longer guilty.

I am no longer separated from God. I am no longer

have to work my own way there. Like all of that,

that's no longer true. By faith, I have to accept

that I am free today. That God looks at you and

he is pleased with you today. That he looks at

you and because of his son, you are forgiven

today. That he looks at you and he declares you

not. I'm not guilty because of Jesus. By faith,

I have to accept that, right? And when I accept

that and I'm living in this middle, by faith,

I have to look at his future and what he writes.

And by faith, I accept that this world is not

my home. The new heavens and new earth someday.

But today, this old earth is groaning. It's falling

apart. And by faith, I have to believe that this

is the story I live inside of. And when, when

I grasp that, it says, how do you do? What do

you do next? You express. What is an expression?

It is to put into visual form. How do I put all

of this into visual form? How do I live in my

day to day? It says by what? By love. By love.

By love. You see, something amazing happens when

you reject the enemy's plan and you see yourself

as Jesus sees you. All of a sudden, I have nobody

to impress and nobody to prove anything to. All

of a sudden, I don't have to collect all this

stuff for here. Guess what I get to do? I'm not

worried about me anymore. I'm worried about the

expression of Jesus that is seen through me.

And so now I start to love the person next to

me. Now I start to love those in my family circle.

Now I start to love those that I work with. Now

I start to love those like when I go to a restaurant,

right? You just love the people around you unless

it's cold, then you're not going there. Some

of you, that was too soon. You're still grieving.

Still grieving. But you're to love. You're now

free. What are you free to? That I don't have

to make this life about me. Jesus has freed me

to make it about you. Jesus has freed me to make

it about those around me. Jesus has freed me

to serve. That I no longer have to worry about

it. But here's the thing, that what he's getting

at is that your life matters. Your life counts.

The way you live. Do you live like the man who

found something so valuable that Jesus is so

valuable that he'll give everything else away?

so that you would know. I highly doubt that if

you went to that man's field, he's like, oh,

I just want to show you the grass. He's like,

no, no, no, no, come look what I found. It's

mine and it's precious. Like that's the idea

that Jesus is so valuable to you that you go,

I'm going to live an expression of love that

displays to everybody how valuable Jesus is.

That's the power of your life. There was a man,

I don't know if you saw the news this week. There

was a man, he died. He was 114 years old. That's

not a bad, in England we say that's not a bad

batting average, right? 114. What's significant

about his passing is that 89 years old, he decided

he saw a long distance runner and he decided

he was gonna take up long distance running at

89 years old. Some of you are like, I'm not even

close to that and I ain't running, right? 89

years old. Three years later, he finishes a marathon.

He broke the record. I didn't even know there

was a record for 90 plus in marathons. He broke

the record by 58 minutes. Shattered it. He continued

to run all the way until he was 101. At 101,

he set records that they had to create because

nobody was doing it. At one point in his life,

he was on a relay team and the overall total

age was 397. People watched his life and were

inspired so much so that the Queen Elizabeth

gave him an award due for people in sports. It's

sacrilege, but they took David Beth... Beckham,

Adidas took David Beckham out of their spot and

put this man in to prove that impossible is nothing.

Don't clap for that. To prove that impossible

is nothing. He gave his life and he inspired

people towards what? What he valued and it was

running. One of my favorite quotes of him this

week that I got to read, he's like, the first

20 miles, they're not difficult. The last six,

I talked to God. What a beautiful testimony that

a life can leave. Your life has immense value.

You, you are the expression of Jesus to everyone

around you. And what you do with your life will

either devalue that expression or add value to

it. We started in here singing and we were singing

about no one else, no one else, no one else is

worthy. But Jesus. And I wonder what it would

be like to close out the weekend. Because y 'all

are last. In a way that where you stand and you

take your voice and you go, I am going to use

my voice as an expression of love to declare

I found something so valuable. And his name is

Jesus. Would you stand right where you are? I

need you to catch this. I need you to sing over

the people next to you. Because they may not

know yet the value that is in Jesus. His worth

that no one else can compare. And your voice

gets to be the expression for them today of the

love of God. Let's sing together.
