 Okay, now even as we get into chapter 2, we have seen John introducing Jesus, we see how the first disciples were all gathered into his team and now John is going to talk about how Jesus actually starts his ministry work. Okay, so and the way John, this particular John, the writer, the way he presents it, it seems to start off very low key, not with a big bang, nothing dramatic and something that will catch the attention of the entire nation. It seems to start off with some little local incident in some little place among some normal average people, not somebody influential or powerful and so we see this ministry of Jesus starting off in a very almost hidden way in a very low key manner but there is great significance and there is also power in this slow start. What looks like a very slow start, what looks like a very insignificant event contains within it certain aspects which can, which actually carry a lot of importance, which carry a lot of significance. We will see what we mean by that even as we go along and we'll also try to see why did John put two very different stories together in a right after his main introduction, why does he talk about the wine being formed by Jesus miraculously and then the very next thing, why does he talk about the temple being cleansed. So coming to the first story, John chapter two versus one to five. If maybe we could have one person read out versus one, two and three. So we are into chapter two now, if one of us could read out one, two, three. John chapter two versus one. On the third day, there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee and the mother of Jesus was there. Now both Jesus and his disciples were invited to the wedding and when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to him, they have no wine. Okay, my internet is, I think, slightly problem. Okay, no problems. Okay, so yeah, it says very specifically that Jesus mother was present at that wedding and Jesus and his disciples were also present at that wedding. So the story, John starts off the story by presenting to us the main characters who are involved in this particular story and he goes on to say that the wine supply got over and Jesus mother approaches him asking for his help. Okay, so we and most of us are aware of this story and we know that especially in the ancient Near Eastern circles, in the region where this particular story takes place in those regions, the wedding ceremony was very important or rather wine was played a very important role in the wedding ceremony because wine was supposed to be a symbol of joy. It was supposed to be a symbol of prosperity and celebration. So these are all positive aspects which this object of wine was supposed to symbolize. And so if you were to have a wedding in those times in that day without any wine, it's almost as if you are saying, okay, this is not a joyous occasion. There's nothing to celebrate over here. There's no happiness in this event. It would be the indirect implication. And so in their culture, the wine would have played a very important role in symbolizing that here is a young couple who has now come together and this is going to be a joyful, wedded life and this wine is a symbol of this joy which they would be sharing in their home in their family. So when the wine runs out on day three, I mean in those days they used to have a seven-day celebration. So it's not just a two-hour celebration like we have it nowadays but it's also a seven-day celebration and on the third day probably because this particular family is not very well off, the wine supplier runs out and maybe they invited too many people and the wine was not enough and so the supplier runs out and on the third day itself when you still have another four days of celebration to go, if the wine runs out that would really be very socially disgraceful for that family. It's almost like as if you're saying that this new couple who has been wedded, there is no joy in their home. There's not going to be any celebration or prosperity in their home. So all these cultural implications come into play and it's so therefore it is a serious matter and that is why Jesus' mother comes to him and says they have no more wine and she's hoping that he will help and then of course we are familiar with the reply. Let's look at verse four, yeah maybe only verse four if someone could read out please. Verse four, woman, why do you involve me? Jesus replied, my hour has not yet come. All right so again there are many commentaries which will comment on this particular praise woman used over here. It sounds very bad in our current day culture but then in those days you know when they would use that word in the Greek language it was used almost like a title. I mean nowadays we have people saying you know ma'am and so that word at that time was something similar to ma'am. So it's a respect, it's a title of respect and over here it's Jesus is saying ma'am you know respectfully ma'am why do you involve me is what Jesus is saying and it's a rather strange way to speak because you see this is his mother that he is speaking to so obviously he would always address her as mother but over here in this particular instance he chooses not to refer to her as mother but as ma'am you know with a respectable title and why are we seeing this happening here because now she is asking for something and he would have to respond not just as a son but as the Messiah who has now come. She is asking him to do something which would involve his official capacity over here the purpose with which he has come here on this earth so he says why are you getting me involved in this situation and he refers to her formally with the title of ma'am or woman and he goes on to explain and say my hour has not yet come and this word hour is used in John's Gospel again and again with reference to the crucifixion and resurrection my hour has not yet come and over here so it basically saying the time for my crucifixion and resurrection has not yet come and I will just simply read out you know the scripture references where you have this term being used the word hour being used it's to be found in 730 in 820 1223 and 27 and also 131 and 171 and in all of these places where the word hour is used it is being used specifically with reference to Jesus crucifixion and resurrection so Jesus is saying you are asking me to do something which is going to lead to something else once the miracles begin once I start revealing the signs of who I am because each miracle is a sign it's indicating that here is someone who is not just a normal human here is someone who is not just a teacher but here is someone who is coming in the authority of God as the Son of God so all these signs all these indications are these miracles would lead to the ultimate event which would be the crucifixion followed by the resurrection so Jesus is saying over here ma'am you are asking me to do something which is going to lead to a whole bunch of events and according to the timetable which I have drawn up at the moment I am not supposed to be starting this right now okay so Jesus is says my hour has not yet come I should the time has not come for me to start doing these things and start revealing publicly who I am and when Jesus says this and speaks to her in this formal manner this is Mary's response we see that in verse five and if we if someone could just read out that one verse chapter two can I read yes can I read yes please please go ahead yeah okay his mother said to the sevens whatever he says to you do it okay it's it's interesting the way she replies she understands what he is saying maybe she did not really understand clearly what he meant by my hour has not yet come and all of that but she knew that he is now addressing her not as her son not as her child but as the one who has come from God so she understands that very clearly so she backs off she does not pressurize she does not argue she just simply says to the servants whatever he tells you to do you do it so she's just steps back in faith in simple trust and she says now he's going to tell you what to do next and you just do that so whatever decision Jesus chooses to take in his official capacity as the Messiah she is willing to settle for that okay so it's a very lovely attitude that we see she trusts him completely she knows that he cares about this family you know which is like now faced with with the social disgrace he knows that Jesus cares about these things and so in simple trust she backs off and she says fine whatever he wants to do let him do it and so she says to the servants he will tell you what to do you just do that so we see two things over here in her attitude she knows that he is someone who cares she knows that he will do whatever is best for all concerned and second she because she has that attitude of trust she is willing to submit and yield she's not going to push her own agenda and say no you must do this no there's no there's no argument over there there's no pressurizing over there and maybe we can have that same you know attitude when we come to the Lord with our needs for them in that particular social setting it was something serious because when the wine runs out on the third day itself what is it saying about that wedding what is it saying about the future of that couple you see all of that is involved it's like as if a black shadow is being cast upon that that young couple which has come together and so because of all these cultural implications that was a serious matter for them and Mary believes that Jesus cares about these things Mary believes that Jesus will do what is best and because of her faith it's amazing Jesus chooses to you know push his agenda earlier he takes the timetable and he pushes it up little more early he begins to reveal himself extra early it's an amazing thing that we see over here the power of prayer and in fact we see this happening in the Old Testament on many many occasions you know where God says I will do this and then the people come to him and they pray to him they seek him and then the Lord says all right because you have approached me because you are trusting me I will you know change the timetable so we see that in the Old Testament on many occasions for instance in the book of Jonah you know in Jonah chapter 3 verse 4 we see that Nineveh was supposed to be destroyed in 40 days and then the people of Nineveh they repent they actually repent and turn away from their sins and God changes the timetable and he waits another 150 years so what was supposed to happen in the next 40 days actually happens 150 years later in response to the attitude of the people so there's great power in the way we respond Mary showed simple complete trust that the Lord will do what is best for all concerned and second because she trusts him in that manner she was willing to yield and submit and we see Jesus changing the timetable in response to her request so we're coming to verse 6 we see that yeah in verse 6 and then verse 7 where Jesus says you know fill up the jars with water maybe we could actually read these verses yeah we'll have Albu Kirk yeah if you can speak up go ahead please thank you thank you pastor I just see that there is there are two sort of aspects to the you know the you know the reason why Jesus you know for a change the timetable and that is one is you know the need of the you know of the of the people who were at the wedding and you know the the host who were who would who really required to get that wine you know on the third day and the other one is this you know is Mary who is asking her son to you know to do something with regards to you know getting the wine just just a point here with regards to you know the request from from Mary because there are certain denominations where they that you know there is you know intercession that that can come from Mary even now they feel that you know they can they can they can in a sense pray to Mary and you know get get her to intercede on their on on now you know on on their behalf so we just want to understand and I'm aware that you know that we only pray to Jesus God I've got the Father in the Holy Spirit but there's just a point over there just wanted to get your your feedback on that yeah in the in the New Testament we see so many examples where people directly go to Jesus and place their requests so it's not just Mary who had the privilege of doing that we even see a beggar calling out you know he says son of David have mercy on me and he directly goes to the son of David I mean over there he doesn't even ask the disciples to intercede on his behalf he doesn't go to Jesus mother and say you're please intercede on my behalf he's just a beggar very insignificant sitting there at the side of the road and he directly approaches this Jesus and cries out for mercy and Jesus responds so again and again it's very clearly shown in the New Testament that anybody and everybody has the privilege has the freedom to directly come to him so it was only much later when someone decided to put barriers between Jesus and normal average ordinary people you know by saying you must go to Jesus through somebody but if you when you look at the actual gospels themselves we don't see that happening there are some instances of course you know where the people they come for with their with their little children and they want Jesus to bless and then you have the disciples you know poking their nose in and saying no no no don't disturb him and all that but even they when they came they came directly to Jesus and wanted him to lay his hands on their children so always in the gospels the interaction is direct nobody really feels the need to go through an intermediary to approach Jesus so that is the kind of spirit that Jesus wished to convey to the reader so Jesus always presented himself as someone who can be directly approached so all these customs and practices of the church saying that an intermediary is needed an intercessor is needed all those things were things which people came up with long after these gospels were written so they kind of went away from the gospels when they were asking for all these extra requirements and conditions we don't see that in the scripture itself and it's always best to go with what the scripture itself is asking us to do rather than you know go with man-made you know directives and instructions which man has come up with so yeah so we see many occasions when people go to Jesus for help directly and Mary is in no way involved anywhere on the scene so yeah maybe we could just leave it at that yes if we could have someone read out verses 6 and 7 because maybe this we can dwell on one or two things no in those two verses verses 6 and 7 please could you please read verses 6 and 7 now there were six there were six water ports of stones according to the manner of purification of Jews containing 20 and or 30 gallons a piece these are said to them fill the water's pots with water and they fill them up to the brim okay so these are large water jars made of stone and it says that the they contained water which was used for the ritual purification so the the people would wash their hands and feet as a kind of ritual purification indicating that on a daily basis they are conscious of God's presence and it's like a symbolic way of saying you know I need to keep myself clean because I'm moving about in the presence of God so just the washing of the hands and feet would not achieve anything but it's a symbolic way of saying I need to continue to keep myself clean because when I went to the temple with my animal sacrifice and the Lord covered my sins now I'm grateful for that and symbolically every day I'm washing my hands and feet to to as a reminder to myself that not only physically but even on the inside I need to keep myself clean so it is a that kind of a of a ceremonial ritual which the people used to practice and so we see here those jars being used for a different purpose here and we will you know look into the significance of that a few verses later but right now over here we see that Jesus asks the servants to fill up these jars right up to the he you know in fact he doesn't say fill them up to the brim it's the servants who on their part choose to fill it up to the brim okay so it's interesting if they had only filled up a quarter of the jars then there would have been a much shorter supply of wine and they probably would have had a second shortage but we see these particular servants being very responsive Mary had said to them do what he says and we see these people actually willing to do what he says and they go to the effort of filling up all the six jars right up to the brim and if you look at the number of gallons each of those jars contain you know it shows that they were committed in what they did they were sincere in obeying so maybe the one point that we could you know take away from this is that our attitude of obedience and submission will probably determine the size of the miracle that we receive because sometimes we call out to God desperately in prayer asking him for something and God is there ready to respond but then there's something that we need to do from our side probably you know something that we need to obey or something that we need to yield and submit and the level to which to we do that probably will determine the size of the answer that we receive so in a way it's in our hands actually the more we obey the more we submit the more they are willing to trust the greater probably will be the answer to the prayer that we receive so sometimes I think from our side we restrict the answer through our limited obedience and through our kind of doubtful attitude as in oh why is God asking me to do this is it really gonna help you know and maybe that kind of an attitude takes away from the size of the answer so here we see these persons filling it right up to the brim which increases the size of the miracle they end up with a lot more wine because of what was done now even as we are you know I mean whenever I should just read this passage I kind of think you know here we all are living in the modern church you know which very strongly preaches against drinking of wine and here we are dwelling on the very first miracle of Jesus which is all about wine so just you know to clarify even as we are not talking about this particular passage wine was something that was a part of their daily diet in those days so the wine that we are talking about in biblical times and the you know the wine which we have at a bar now today would be two very different things now of course there was wine at that time which you know was drunk undiluted and it would end up with people getting drunk and it's not something that the respectable people would the respectable godly Jews would ever do they would never ever have wine which is undiluted and you know like it explains in so many commentaries and in all these cultural background books in those days especially in the Middle East Eastern region where they all were living fresh water supply was not something that was readily available yes they would dig wells they had wells which they would dig all over the place but the kind of water the quality of the water available in those wells was not always you know very good quality and so for them wine was you know fermented wine because it's fermented it could have you know killed the bacteria it was a it was a an option as a as a as a as a drinking you know drinking option a safe drinking option so even the children would partake of the wine and which parent would ever give their child undiluted wine you know so it was something that was which was very very diluted with water and of course right from the Old Testament drunkenness has is something that has been criticized as being sinful especially if you look at proverbs you would have entire passages talking about how drunkenness is something that God despises and so when we are talking about wine over here we're not talking about you know something that is very strong not not the kind of liquor which we have now but we are talking about something which was in a very diluted form and which was used just as a part of their everyday diet all right so over here we we are not having Jesus doing a miracle to get people drunk he would never go against what is taught in the proverbs he is giving them a beverage which will not get them drunk in any way but just something that they would enjoy so the wine of that day and the liquor of today is not something to be compared the people who did not care for the ways of God they are the ones who would have had undiluted liquor which of course would have made them drunk that's not the case over here over here in the feast you know the especially the family that is performing the wedding would definitely prefer to have their guests in their right mind and completely same all right so okay moderate drinking is it okay we'll not get into all of that now because you know that would take us very far away from our passage it is left between you know that that person and the Lord because generally the world that we are living in and the kind of cultural significance that liquor holds today it may affect our testimony as a believer you know so most believers would say I'd rather not even drink moderately simply because of the kind of cultural significance it holds today back at that time even a child would drink the you know I would sit at the family table and they would all have this diluted wine it was it was different the cultural implications of that was different it was something which respectable families were doing as a family but now now you have the cultural implications of liquor now today is so negative and so if someone sees a believer doing that they would probably draw a very different picture of who I am and what my moral standards are and my values are and so would I really want to you know spoil my testimony so maybe we would have to start thinking of all of that so yeah it's a very valid question that has been raised but we would have to think about how will people who look at me doing this how would they be impacted what impression would they get about the God I follow what would they think my Jesus more my Jesus priorities are when they see me doing this so the cultural implications of wherever your living would come in you know because back then at that time it was a family thing the family would sit together and as they're having their meal they would be having a diluted wine so it is a very different kind of cultural you know context of that day all right yeah so just coming back to our passage here so Jesus instructs them and says you know take a sample of this water from the jar and give it to the master of the banquet maybe we can come to the response of the master of the banquet versus 9 and 10 so if someone could please read out for us chapter 2 versus 9 and 10 chapter 2 9 versus when the master of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine and did not know where it came from but the servant who had drawn the water knew the master of the feast called the bridegroom and he said to him every man at the beginning set out the good wine and the and when the guest have well drunk then the inferior you have kept the good wine until now okay so even in those times where they would give a diluted form of wine those who over indulged in it would end up getting drunk we see that in verse 10 where it says and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink so by the third day of drinking free the free wine which is being provided there are people who would over indulge and it would also in fact affect their behavior so it is true that there were people who were not following proverbs and being very careful about how they were doing their drinking so even back then there were people who were taking the word of God lightly but then many others would not have done that many of them also would have been careful about you know how they were consuming this particular product so anyway over here the master of the banquet he says this is very strange generally people wait for you know people to kind of get used to the whole wine thing and then when people are not really noticing anymore then they would introduce the cheaper wine but you on the other hand he says to the bridegroom because he's not aware of who has created this new wine he says you on the other hand seems to have seemed to have you know saved up your best wine for the third day and he remarks upon this with surprise now let's look at verse 11 and then we'll connect it to the previous two verses if someone could read out verse 11 please verse 11 yes this is the beginning of science jesus did in kana of kalili and manifested his glory and his disciple believed in him okay so the wine which was created out of this water was of such high quality that this master of ceremonies comments on it and he says my goodness this quality is so good I have no clue why you have waited up to the third day you know to start serving this is what he says and this reveals something about the glory of Jesus so Jesus he reveals his glory by helping that family by saving that wedding by not allowing a black shadow to be cast upon that young couple you know which is trying to celebrate their wedding so he's the jesus is reaching out to them and helping them in a very personal way he reveals his glory by helping them and he reveals by his glory by using whatever is available at hand I mean this is not a very influential family if they were a very rich and influential family their wine first of all would not have run out because they would have had enough supply so these are just very ordinary people and God just uses Jesus just uses whatever is available over there in that particular place to do his miracle so using something very simple like a bunch of jars with some water in them just using that Jesus does his miracle so that also reveals something about his glory and then we also see that he has completely you know overruled the usual the laws of physics and chemistry I suppose is also involved in fermentation yeah so he completely overruled the laws of physics and you know chemistry in bringing about this miracle which shows that he is someone who surpasses the human laws you know which exist on this earth the laws of nature which exist on this earth so there are different aspects of his glory which get revealed through this first sign so wherever the word sign is used it's a it's a sign of what is what is being shown it's an indicator it's a sign or an indicator of who Jesus is and so over here we see that Jesus is being revealed as someone who loves and cares is being revealed as someone who can take something very simple and insignificant and do something great and marvelous with it he is also being shown as the one for whom there are no limitations the natural rules and laws of nature do not apply to him at all he surpasses all of it so when the disciples see that this is the kind of messiah that he is they have already believed in him in the last chapter you know we see that here they have already expressed their belief in him but now they believe in a deeper way their faith in him gets stronger and it's the same even for us you know when even as we walk with the Lord and even as we see him working in our lives by and by gradually our faith gets deepened it gets more mature because of the experiences that we have had with the Lord so over here when it says his disciples believed in him it's not trying to indicate that they did not believe in him earlier it's just reinforcing the fact that now their faith has become even deeper all right now just you know to to talk about other aspects of this particular story here in the story we have jars which were used for water what the ritual of cleansing okay this water was being used for the ritual of cleansing and Jesus takes this water and turns it into wine and so you have commentaries which comment on this they talk about how the people were using water to wash themselves and clean themselves but Jesus takes this water and converts it into wine and wine they say you know it's a symbol of Jesus blood which cleanses at a whole different level water can only cleanse physically but blood cleanses you from your very sins and so they talk about how there's a there's a hidden layer to this story where Jesus is taking the whole process of cleansing to a higher level up to now people could only cleanse themselves outwardly they would try to live live better lives they would try to make better choices but now the Messiah has come and he's going to do an internal work of cleansing which they cannot do on their own so he is going to cleanse them inside and make them into a new person with a new heart and he's going to do that by his blood and the blood of course you know is symbolized by a wine because Jesus says drink my blood and they would drink his blood symbolically through the wine which they would have during the communion so even though this is just a very simple story where God reaches out and helps a family we see that there's something more happening over here there are deeper spiritual implications which we can see where we see a Messiah who has come who can take cleansing to a an entire new level okay so that's one of the hidden layers of this of this particular story which also comes out to those who kind of you know meditate upon this particular passage all right we are kind of running out of time because we have reached 1040 what should I touch upon just give me a moment I'm you know just quickly going through all right we'll come to this passage on the cleansing of the temple now most of us are already familiar with this maybe we could just look at one or two verses specifically all right it says in verse 16 okay we are looking at John chapter 2 verse 16 okay maybe 15 as well if we could just have one person very very quickly read out uh John chapter 2 verses 15 16 17 yes when he had made a whip of codes he dropped them all out of the temple with the ship and oxen and put out changes the changes money and overturned the tables and he said to those who sold us take these things away do not make my father's house a house of merchandise then his disciple remembered that it's he was written zeal for your house has eaten me up so that the Jews answered him and so you know that's okay that's all right yeah thank you yeah uh so over here we see uh that Jesus after seeing what the people are doing in the temple he prepares a whip using a bunch of you know ropes which are available he makes a whip out of it and some commentaries have pointed the fact that it must have taken him some time to make it you see he didn't come over there carrying a whip he did not know what he would find when he gets there but when he comes over there and sees all this havoc and all this you know selling and buying that's going on over there and there is no peace and quiet and people are you know busy thinking about money rather than thinking about God when he sees that it angers him and it says that he spent some time making a whip so this is not an instant reaction you know because sometimes we just react in anger and it may not be righteous anger uh it is just uh an anger born out of a selfish nature on the on the other hand over here this is an anger which is very carefully thought out and then expressed so it's not just a you know a knee jerk reaction Jesus thinks about what is being done over here he thinks about what's going on in the minds of all those merchants sitting over there they are thinking okay fine i've made this much money now it's afternoon maybe by evening i'll make this much money and there they are sitting thinking about those things in the temple of god rather than you know uh focusing on mange is it my network or pastor has lost the internet i think it is your side you are safe okay very sorry for the interruption very very sorry um the connection just kind of went off for a bit am i audible you can hear me right could someone just indicate whether you can hear me yes perfect yeah very sorry for this um all right the point which many of the commentators make is that um if you look at the same story in the other gospels they talk about how when jesus goes there and sees all the noise which is being made he's upset because his temple is supposed to be a house of prayer and so he's upset that the Gentiles who come over there uh you know to to meet with Yahweh they are not able to stand over there because the area which is allotted for them the outer court where they where they can stand and pray to god that area has been filled up by all of these merchants who are selling their merchandise so they point to that aspect of his uh anger you know they talk about how jesus is so upset that the place which has been reserved for the Gentiles to come and stand and pray to Yahweh that space has been taken up by the merchants and they are too busy you know selling their merchandise and making money rather than leaving that space open for the for the Gentiles to come and uh interact with the Lord uh so that aspect of Jesus' anger is touched upon in the other gospels over here in the book of John we see the other aspect that Jesus is very angry about not only are they taking up the space which is reserved for Gentiles also they are dishonoring God himself with their attitude and we see that part of the of God's anger of Jesus' anger being touched upon over here in verse 17 it's say in verses 16 and 17 because Jesus says get these out of here stop turning my father's house into a market this is his father's house this is the place where the god of gods and king of kings said i will come down and interact with human beings and make my home among them so people should be honored that they have been given such a privilege that God himself has chosen to come down and live among them but instead of instead of that of that these people are not even thinking about God but thinking about money making and that is when his disciples remember that it is written zeal for your house will consume me so there are two aspects that make Jesus angry one that the Gentiles have been denied the space where they can stand quietly and contemplate upon God and hear his voice and secondly because the people who are gathered over the merchants don't even care about God have no respect for him all they can think about is how to make more money and greater profits so now these two passages which seem to have no connection between them why did the Holy Spirit inspire John to place these two particular stories together all right so just a moment please the first story if we see it talks about how cleansing is taken to a whole new level God God introduces us indirectly you know through the story God introduces a system where not just water but wine his blood will cleanse okay so this is a kind of spiritual connotation to the first story and now in the second story we see the emphasis which is there upon his crucifixion and resurrection because over here he says within the Jews question him in verse 18 and say what sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this you know they're saying what authority do you have to talk about what we should do and what we should not do in this temple and Jesus replied to that is that I am the temple so I have authority to tell you what should be done in this temple because I myself am the temple and he goes on to talk about how the temple will be destroyed he will you know lay down his life and be crucified and how he will again be raised on the third day so over here in the second story the emphasis is on how Jesus himself is the temple and he will be crucified and he will be raised so the connection between these two stories seems to be that earlier human beings all they could do is maybe try to clean themselves with water but now they would be cleaned on the inside by the blood of the lamb itself they would be internal cleansing and they would become a new creation they would become a new person and how would that happen it would happen through what is mentioned over here in the second account where God establishes the glory of who God is supposed to be by driving out all the false merchants who are there and presenting himself as the sacrifice through whom people can access this glory of God so they try to draw that kind of a connection between these two stories to point out that at a spiritual level there is a connect between the two stories you know so that probably could be one reason why an account which talks about the crucifixion and resurrection is connected with another account which talks about not just physical cleansing but cleansing through the blood which is symbolized you know in the form of wine all right so these are just some things that we could cover today and next week of course we'll move on to chapter three I know we are a little beyond time and yeah you have one more session to go so if you could you know just post your questions you know if you have any questions if you can post them in the stream page you know of the Google Classroom I will address the questions next week so we will now you know leave but if you can put your questions in the stream page of Google Classroom I can address those questions next week without fail so thank you so much for joining in and listening and we'll meet again next week thank you thank you pastor we'll bless you
