Rest

Okay, so we're reading from Matthew chapter 11 verse 25 and to Matthew chapter 12 verse 14 and that's page 977.

Matthew 11:25 Matthew 12:14

So Matthew 11 chapter 25.

At that time Jesus said,

At that time Jesus went through the cornfield on the Sabbath.

His disciples were hungry and began to pick some ears of corn and eat them.

When the Pharisees saw this, they said to him,

Look, your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath.

He answered,

Haven't you read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?

He entered the house of God and he and his companions ate the consecrated bread,

which was not lawful for them to do, but only for the priests.

Or haven't you read in the law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple desecrate the day and yet are innocent?

I tell you that the one greater than the temple is here.

If you had known what these words mean, I desire mercy, not sacrifice, you would not have condemned the innocent.

For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.

Going on from that place, he went into their synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there.

Looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, they asked him,

Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?

He said to them,

If any of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath,

will you not take hold of it and lift it out?

How much more valuable is a man than a sheep?

Therefore, it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.

Then he said to the man,

Stretch out your hand.

So he stretched it out, and it was completely restored, just as sound as the other.

But the Pharisees went out and plotted how they might kill Jesus.

Thank you, Kate.

I'm now going to invite Peter, Peter White, to come and join me.

And I'm going to ask him a couple of questions,

or I'm going to let him tell us a little bit about him.

How, who he is, what he does, who's in your family, maybe.

And then maybe how, as a church, we can be praying for the church in Middleton.

And then I'm going to pray for him as he speaks to us.

So, over to you, Peter.

Thanks, Alex.

I'm Peter Whiting.

It says here that I run a boat business, which is sort of true.

We do have a connection with boats,

but really the main business is fiberglass,

which we sell the materials and we do some manufacturing as well,

and that's in Middleton.

My wife is Miriam,

and she is a cousin of Jill Smith,

if you want to have a connection.

And I have three kids,

Bobby, Nathan, and Claire.

Bobby is a good friend of Peter's,

and you might know Nathan and Claire as well.

So, my eldest is going to be 20 next week.

And my youngest is 14.

So, yeah, I'm an elder in Middleton.

There's three of us as elders.

Andy Compton is the pastor.

Colin Meikle and myself are elders.

And we have a church, I think, very, very similar to yours.

And we meet in the Middleton Park Hotel.

But when I see the logistics of all that you're doing here,

it's exactly the same for us,

setting up and all the rest.

We just have slightly more salubrious surroundings than you.

And so we meet there.

In terms of prayer for Middleton,

I was thinking, well,

you might know Paul McFarland,

Paul and Kate.

They have been with us for,

or Paul has been with us for a few years

acting as a worker with Andy,

but they're now moving on to you all.

So I think that leaves a bit of a hole for Middleton.

So maybe that's something we could pray for,

or you could pray for us,

as Andy no longer has another worker with him.

That would be something to pray for Andy

as we continue to try and do outreach

in the town and in the surrounding area.

So anyway, thanks for having me this morning.

Thanks, Peter.

So we'll just pray for Peter before he speaks to us.

Lord, thank you for all that we have heard this morning.

And we pray now for Peter

as he opens up your word to us.

I pray that it would challenge us,

change us, and transform us.

I pray that we would be people

who know how to rest

under the headship of Jesus.

Help us now to submit our lives

and our hearts under your word.

And bless Peter as he speaks to us.

Give us ears to listen

and hearts to hear.

We pray this in Jesus' name.

Amen.

Thank you.

Okay.

Sorry.

Sorry.

I'm going to put that here.

Ah, I could do it then.

Ah, he was really testing me.

Okay, thanks, Alex.

Good.

Okay.

I'm all right now.

The verse I want to look at

is 28 to 30.

And the theme, as you know,

is rest.

Alex asked me what that would be.

So that's why the theme of this morning

has been unrest.

And so I think some of you

have been on holidays

and some of you are away

or some of you are not here away.

And I know that Johnny and Kirstie

have gone on holidays.

And you've been, you've been.

I'm sure some of you are still looking forward

to going on the holidays.

I am.

We're heading off to,

down to the West Cork

in 10 days' time.

And I tell you,

I am really looking forward

to that.

And I think, you know,

holidays are things that

should and usually do

invigorate us

and get us ready to face

the pressures of normal life.

Because life is, you know,

it's stressful.

And we need these times

of rest.

As the saying goes,

all work and no play

makes Jack a dull boy.

So this is something

that we can all relate to.

And it is how God has made us

that we need times

to be refreshed.

Do you mind if I just drop this down a bit?

Okay, that's fine.

And so when Jesus says,

come to me,

all you who are weary and burdened,

and I will give you rest,

what's he alluding to?

Is he offering us

a lie-in every morning,

a weekend away,

or a regular break?

So this is what we want

to just look at.

And the reason I read the,

or we read the passage before

and right through to the end

of verse 14 in chapter 12,

it's just if you,

that passage following,

you notice how it's about the Sabbath.

And obviously there's a discussion

about what you should

and shouldn't do on the Sabbath.

But what is really interesting

is the final verse 14,

the Pharisees went out

and plotted how they might kill Jesus.

And so I suppose you've got

this dichotomy of the Pharisees

that have,

they've been given this welcome,

this offer to,

this invitation to come to Jesus

and rest,

but they just turn

the other way

and just hope for us

that we will,

we will respond to this invitation

and there'll be no part of us

that's like the Pharisees

that actually

goes the opposite way.

So anyway,

thank you for the opportunity

to speak this morning

and I just pray that God

will bless us

as we look at his word

and may he encourage us

to live lives

to please and follow him.

So as we look at this invitation,

which I think is a wonderful one,

it just reminds me

there's another invitation

similar in John chapter 7,

John 7 · chapter mention

you might like to turn that,

John 7,

John 7:37

verse 37,

John 7,

37,

on the last and greatest day

of the feast,

Jesus stood and said

in a loud voice,

if anyone is thirsty,

let him come to me and drink.

Whoever believes in me,

as the scripture has said,

streams of living water

will flow from within him.

So we've got these two invitations

that Jesus made.

One is to come and be filled

if you're thirsty

and the other is to get rest

if you're weary and burdened.

And both of these invitations

have their roots

in the Old Testament.

We can turn back to Isaiah 55

and this is the one

that we're most familiar with.

Isaiah 55,

Isaiah 55:1–3

verses 1 to 3.

Come, all you who are thirsty,

come to the waters.

You who have no money,

come, buy and eat.

Come, buy wine and milk

without money

and without cost.

Why spend money

on what is not bread

and your labor

on what does not satisfy?

Listen, listen to me

and eat what is good

and your soul will delight

in the richest affair.

Give ear and come to me.

Hear me

that your soul may live.

And then ones that are more specific

to today's reading

are in Jeremiah,

Jeremiah 6

and verse 16.

And this one says,

This is what the Lord says.

Stand at the crossroads

and look.

Ask for the ancient paths.

Ask where the good way is

and walk in it

and you will find rest

for your souls.

And then the second one

is in Exodus chapter 33

Exodus 33 · chapter mention

and it's where God says

to Moses,

verse 14,

My presence will go with you

and I will give you rest.

So as Jesus made this invitation,

his listeners

and especially the Pharisees

who would have been

very knowledgeable

of their Bible,

of their Torah,

would have understood

the significance

of what Jesus was saying.

that Jesus here,

when he makes this invitation,

is identifying himself

with the Old Testament God

of Isaiah and Jeremiah

and Moses.

And as Jesus gives this invitation,

he's basically claiming divinity.

That God who made that invitation

in Isaiah

is the same as Jesus

who was saying,

Come to me

and I will give you rest.

And if you look at the

verses 25 to 27

of our reading,

it says,

At that time,

Jesus said,

I praise you, Father,

Lord of heaven and earth,

because you've hidden

these things

from the wise and learned

and revealed them

to little children.

Yes, Father,

for this was your good pleasure.

All things have been

committed to me

by my Father.

No one knows the Son

except the Father,

and no one knows the Father

except the Son

and those to whom

the Son chooses

to reveal him.

So,

when Jesus addresses God

as Father

and claims to be Son,

he is claiming divinity.

But we won't look too much

into that for now,

because that's a whole

different area.

So,

I now want to have a look

at what is it

that Jesus is offering

when he says,

Come to me,

all you who are weary

and burdened,

and I will give you rest.

If you look up the dictionary,

the definition of rest

is to cease work

or movement

in order to relax,

sleep,

or recover strength.

So,

the purpose of rest

is to relax,

sleep,

or recover strength.

And I think maybe

the last bit,

recovering strength,

is probably what it's really about.

In order for us

to keep going on,

we need to be

recovering strength.

So,

I want to have a look

at the concept of rest

in the Bible.

And if we turn back

to Genesis,

it's where we'll

start with the first

reference to rest.

And of course,

it's at the end

of the creation account.

Genesis chapter 1,

Genesis 1:31

verse 31,

we have the completion

of the six days

of creation.

And God has been active

in creating.

And in verse 31,

it says that God

saw all that he had made

and it was very good.

And there was evening

and there was morning

the sixth day.

So,

we have the end

of the sixth day

and God is looking

at all that he's made

and it's very good.

And it says,

thus the heavens

and the earth

were completed

in all their vast array.

And by the seventh day,

so that's the next day,

God had finished

his work.

God had finished

the work

that he had been doing.

So,

on the seventh day,

he rested

from all his work.

And God blessed

the seventh day

and made it holy

because on it

he rested

from all the work

of creating

that he had done.

So,

we see here

that when God

had completed

his work of creating,

first of all,

he looks at it

and he sees

that it's good.

So,

he looks at

his completed creation

and he acknowledges

this is very good.

And I think

this is something

that we can relate to.

It can be as simple

as

cutting the grass

or

finishing exams

or

baking a cake

but you

look at it

and say,

that's good,

I'm happy with that,

that is how

I want it to be.

And God has

this sense

of satisfaction

and he's

looking at

this completed work

and he now

rests.

So,

this principle

of rest

is first

demonstrated by God.

God has been active,

he's busy

and then he rests.

So,

in the context

of hard work

and

in the fulfilling

completion

of a task,

do you know what?

It's okay

to take a breather

and to rest.

And I find that

really encouraging

that rest

is actually

something that's

ordained by God

and it's necessary

for normal

human functioning.

I remember

years ago

I was on an OM

team,

it was when I was

a young Christian

and

it was my first

experience

of

Christian work.

Those of you

familiar with OM,

maybe,

I don't know

whether anyone

was on OM

back in the 80s,

but OM

would have been

quite an extreme

sort of,

you know,

they worked you

hard.

And I remember

being on the team

and,

you know,

this is my first

experience of

Christian work

of any sort

and we arrived,

we were on this

team in France

and we arrived

at the home

of a missionary

family and I was

quite amazed

to see the family

were heading off

on holidays.

I thought,

wow,

so Christian

missionaries,

you know,

Christian workers

can go on holidays.

That's good.

Good.

And

I think

if you know

OM,

you know what I

mean when I

say that.

But that was

encouraging that

it's okay to

have holidays

and even

Christian workers

can have

holidays,

but I think,

you know,

they do need it.

They need it.

So you can pray

for your pastor

and the family

as they go on

holidays,

that they'll

be refreshed

and able to

come back

revitalized

for the work.

So,

we've got this

principle that

rest is something

that's part of

normal human

functioning.

But God

takes it further.

If you move on

to Exodus 20

and we have

the Ten Commandments

and the fourth

commandment,

of course,

is the

to keep the

Sabbath day

and Exodus

Exodus 20:4

20,

verse 4.

Remember the

Sabbath day

by keeping it

holy.

Six days

you shall

labor and

do all your

work,

but the

seventh day

is a

Sabbath

to the

Lord your

God.

On it

you shall

not do

any work,

neither you

nor your

son or

daughter,

nor your

manservant

or maidservant,

nor your

animals,

nor the

alien within

your gates.

For in

six days

the Lord

made the

heavens and

the earth,

the sea and

all that is

in them,

but he

rested on

the seventh

day.

Therefore the

Lord blessed

the Sabbath

day and

made it

holy.

So now

not only have

we got rest

being a

principle,

but now it's

actually a

commandment

that the

Israelites were

to work six

days and

they were to

rest on the

seventh day

and the

pattern that

they took

that from

was that

that's exactly

what God

had done in

creation.

He'd

created over

six days and

he rested on

the seventh

day.

So that

is why they

were to do

it.

And it was

a commandment.

Not only is

it that it's a

good idea,

but actually it

is something that

we should do

because it

works for us.

And has it

ever occurred to

you why we

have a seven

day week?

Well, that's

where it comes

from.

Because the

seven day week

has no

astronomical

reasoning.

The reason I

say that is,

look, a year is

the time it

takes for the

earth to go

around the

sun.

A month is

the time it

takes for the

moon to go

around the

earth.

And a day,

of course,

is the time it

takes for the

earth to spin

on its axis.

But a seven

day week,

there's no

logical reason

for a seven

day week.

And if you

are interested,

if you go

online and look

up the old

farmer's almanac,

it says in

that no more

logic supports

seven days than

say eight or

five.

Yet the seven

day week has

resisted any

and all

attempt at

change.

So if you're

interested in a

little bit of

history, the

almanac goes on

to say that

atheistic

revolutionaries

tried unsuccessfully

to get rid of

the seven day

week.

In 1793, the

leaders of the

French Revolution

produced a new

calendar and

they divided it

into three

ten day

decades, they

called it.

So a week of

ten days.

It never

caught on and

Napoleon abandoned

it in 1805.

In 1929, the

Soviet Union

tried a five

day week and

there was one

day of rest and

the days of the

week were named

after colours and

everybody was

assigned a colour.

So perhaps a

husband might be

yellow, so

yellow was his

day off and

his wife, she'd

be given green.

So your day

off was yellow

and your day

off was green.

So obviously it

didn't really work

for families and

there was a lot

of confusion.

The plan was

revised in 1932

to a six day

week and

instead of

having colours

they had numbers

but by 1940

they gave up

and now Russia

is back on

the seven day

week.

And as the

almanac said,

the seven day

week has

resisted any

and all

attempt at

change.

So I just

think that's

really interesting.

You know, God

instituted, he

said this is

what you're

to do, man

has tried to

change it, but

what works is

the seven day

week.

And God

knows best.

And Psalm

103.14 says,

for he knows

how we are

formed and he

remembers that

we are dust.

rest.

So the first

point is that

if we are

finding that

we are heavy

and burdened,

that we're

weary and

burdened,

there's a

practical note

here, are we

getting enough

rest?

Maybe you need

a holiday,

maybe you need

to stop and

just get off.

Maybe you

haven't got a

proper rest in

your routine.

obviously we

can't always

take off one

day in seven

and we can't

always have the

privilege of

having Sunday

off, but

certainly the

principle of

getting rest is

necessary for

our proper

functioning as

a human being.

So, moving

on, a deeper

rest, and this

is something that

we've already

alluded to in

that Psalm that

Alex read,

Psalm 62, and

I think maybe we

could turn to

that because that's

in my notes as

well.

Psalm 62, and

this is a rest

of the soul, and

Jesus says here,

you will find

rest for your

souls.

So, there's the

physical sort of,

I'll just take a

day off, there's

that type of rest,

but there's also

the deeper rest,

rest for our

souls.

And in Psalm 62,

which we've

already read, a

wonderful Psalm,

David says,

my soul finds

rest in God

alone, my

salvation,

salvation, and

salvation, and

salvation.

He alone is my

rock and my

salvation.

He is my

fortress, I

shall never be

shaken.

And then in

verse 5, David

then points the

finger at himself

and says to

himself, find

rest, O my

soul, in God

alone.

My hope comes

from him.

He alone is my

rock and my

salvation.

He is my

fortress, I

shall not be

shaken.

So Jesus

says if we are

to find rest

for our souls,

we are to take

up his yoke.

We are to take

up a yoke upon

us and we are

to learn from

him.

I think we all

know what a

yoke is.

I know they're

not used anymore,

but obviously it

was the way that

the farmer used

to get his

oxen to do

useful work.

And the

yoke would

constrain the

ox to do

what the farmer

wanted.

And so in

this context,

when Jesus

says take my

yoke upon you,

there obviously

is this

context that we

are to be

obedient to

God.

And 1

John 5

3 says,

this is love

for God

to obey

his commands.

And he goes

on to say,

and his commands

are not

burdensome.

So this

rest of soul

that Jesus

talks about

is linked

with obedience

that we need

to put God

in the right

place in our

lives.

We've already

read that verse

in Exodus.

God says

to Moses,

my presence

will go with

you and I

will give

you rest.

And when

God spoke

to Moses,

the rest

that they

were looking

forward to

was the

promised land.

And as

you know,

Moses didn't

enter the

promised land

and the

Israelites at

that time

didn't enter

the promised

land.

And Deuteronomy

1.32 gives

the reason

why they

didn't enter

that land.

And it's

simply this,

you did

not trust

in the

Lord your

God.

That's

Deuteronomy

1.32.

And Hebrews

explains it

more.

Hebrews 3.18

says,

to whom

did God

swear that

they would

never enter

his rest

if not

to those

who

disobeyed?

So we

see that

they were

not able

to enter

because of

their unbelief.

So the

Israelites

didn't enter

the promised

land,

didn't enter

that rest

because of

their

disobedience.

Joshua

then was

the next

leader and

Joshua was

successful in

bringing the

Israelites into

the promised

land.

And when

God appointed

Joshua,

he said to

him,

be strong

and courageous

because you

will lead

these people

to inherit

the land

I swore to

their forefathers

to give them.

Be strong

and very

courageous.

Be careful

to obey

all the law

my servant

Moses gave

you.

Do not turn

from it to

the right

or the left

that you

might be

successful

wherever you

go.

So God

said to

Joshua,

be careful

to be

obedient.

And if

you're

obedient,

you will

enter that

rest in

the promised

land.

And of

course,

Joshua was

successful.

And Joshua

brought the

people into

the promised

land.

And Joshua's

words to the

people were,

remember the

command that

Moses, the

servant of

the Lord,

gave you.

The Lord

your God

has given

you rest

and has

granted you

this land.

So Joshua

was very

clear,

guys, if

you want to

enter that

rest, that

promised land,

be obedient

to God.

And at

the end,

after the

occupation of

the land,

we read in

Joshua 21,

43,

so the

Lord gave

Israel all

the land he

had sworn to

give their

forefathers,

and they

took possession

of it and

settled there.

The Lord

gave them

rest on

every side,

just as he

had sworn

to their

forefathers.

So if

you're a

Christian this

morning and

you're looking

for rest,

this rest of

the soul,

you're not

called to

take up

arms and

invade the

promised land

and engage

in battle

with the

Philistines or

the Canaanites

or the

Amorites or

the Amalekites

or any

other ites.

But we are

called by

Jesus to

take up his

yoke and

learn from

him.

But the

great thing

about this

yoke that

Jesus gives

us is that

it's easy

or not so

much easy

as it

fits and

it's

comfortable.

I think

what the

word means

is there's

no hard

edges,

it doesn't

press in

and poke

your spine

or, you

know, it's

not constantly

making you

uncomfortable.

It's a

yoke that

is, it

fits.

But obviously

it's also a

yoke that

keeps you

going in a

direction so

you're not

free to just

head off

wherever you

want.

And that's

what it's

like for

the Christian

that we

are to

be obedient

to him.

But as we

obey God,

it's not

burdensome,

it's not

tough and

uncomfortable,

it's not

harsh.

The word

is, it's

not harsh

or hard

or sharp

or pressing,

but it's

comfortable,

gracious

and pleasant.

That's what

the word

means.

And the

burden is

light and

easy to

be born.

So the

invitation that

Jesus gives

us is a

good one.

It's something

that we can

be encouraged

about.

It's not

difficult.

So how do

we enter

into this

rest of

God?

If we're

a Christian,

the principle

is the

same.

Trust and

obey.

And in

Acts 17,

that famous

sermon of

Paul to

the

Athenians,

to the

Greeks,

Paul says,

God commands

all men

everywhere to

repent.

So the

command that

goes out is

you must

repent,

but the

great thing

is that as

you repent,

this is when

you receive

the rest of

God.

Psalm 32,

maybe we

could look at

that,

because this

is a

wonderful

psalm which

speaks of

repentance and

forgiveness and

the rest of

God that

comes through

that.

Psalm 32.

Blessed is

he whose

transgressions

are forgiven,

whose sins

are covered.

Blessed is

the man whose

sin the Lord

does not

count against

him,

and in

whose spirit

is no

deceit.

So there's

the blessing,

and now we

have a

description of

somebody who's

resisting that.

When I

kept silent,

my bones

wasted away

through my

groaning all

day long.

For day and

night your

hand was

heavy upon

me, my

strength was

sapped, as

in the heat

of summer.

So you've

got this

description of

somebody who

is not

confessing

their sins,

who is not

turning to

God, not

repenting,

and there's

like this

physical

oppression that

they're receiving.

And then it

says in verse

5,

Then I

acknowledged my

sin to you,

and I did

not cover up

my iniquity.

I said, I

will confess

my transgressions

to the Lord.

And guess

what?

You forgave

the guilt

of my

sin.

And if you

then go back

to verse

1,

blessed is

he whose

transgressions

are forgiven,

whose sins

are covered.

Blessed is

the man

whose sin

the Lord

does not

count against

him, and

in whose

spirit is

no deceit.

So if as

yet we've

resisted Jesus'

call on our

lives, the

invitation is

to come to

Jesus.

And where

do we come?

We come at

the foot of

the cross.

we acknowledge

our sin and

we lay it

on him.

We thank

him for

taking the

burden of

our sin and

paying the

price so we

can be

forgiven.

We trust

in him.

John 3.16

For God

so loved the

world that he

gave his only

son that

whoever believes

in him

shall not

perish but

have eternal

life.

and I

think you

could replace

that eternal

life with

eternal rest.

Rest in

him.

So are we

trusting in

Jesus in

that way?

Have we

cast on him

the heaviest

of burdens

our sin and

found in him

the rest of

our soul?

That is

peace with

God.

Just in

closing I

just want us

to look at

a couple of

characters that

you're probably

very familiar

with.

It's in

Luke chapter

Luke 10 · chapter mention

10.

Because let's

just bring it

home and

see some

people in

the Bible who

really demonstrate

this experiencing

God's rest.

And it's the

account of

Mary and

Martha.

And it's in

Luke chapter

Luke 10:39–41

10 verses

39 to

41.

As Jesus

and his

disciples were

on their

way he

came to

a village

where a

woman named

Martha opened

her home to

him.

She had a

sister called

Mary who

sat at the

Lord's feet

listening to

what he

said but

Martha was

distracted by

all the

preparations that

had to be

made.

She came to

him and

said and

asked Lord

don't you

care that my

sister has

left me to do

the work by

myself?

Tell her to

help me.

Martha, Martha

the Lord

answered you

are worried

and upset

about many

things but

only one

thing is

needed.

Mary has

chosen what

is better and

it will not be

taken away

from her.

So here we

have these

sisters and

they're friends

of Jesus and

they're very

different

characters.

Martha is a

doer and

here she is

she's busy

preparing,

she opens

her home,

she gets a

meal ready and

she's busy,

busy, busy,

busy but she's

frustrated,

she's not at

rest, she's

not at peace

and she's

frustrated because

her sister

isn't helping,

her sister is

sitting at

Jesus' feet

and she's

listening to

Jesus and

Martha goes

to Jesus and

says,

Jesus don't

you care that

I'm here on

my own doing

all this work

for you?

Tell her to

help me.

And Jesus

simply says,

Martha,

you're worried

and upset

about many

things but

you know

what,

your sister

has made

the right

choice in

this case.

The dishes

can wait,

the dinner

can wait,

you need to

find rest

in me.

Mary's chosen

what is better

and it will

not be taken

away from her.

what I love

about those

two sisters

is that

later on

there's another

account of

them and

Jesus is

again at

their house

and

Martha is

the one

doing the

preparations

but there's

no condemnation

here because

Martha is

different to

Mary and

obviously

this is not

an excuse

not to do

the washing

up young

people or

to help at

home but

there are

times where

we just

need to

sit at

Jesus'

feet and

find rest

and refreshment

in him.

So during

this holiday

season

may God

refresh us

and more

importantly

may we find

that rest

of our souls

in Jesus

as we

trust

and obey

him

throughout

the year.

Are we

going to

have a

closing?

So we've

just a hymn

that I'd

like us to

sing is

when we

walk with

the Lord

in the

light of

his word

what a

glory he

sheds on

his way

I forget

the words

but we'll

sing them

now

when we

walk with

the Lord.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Thanks.
