 Okay, good morning, everyone. Alright, good morning to our students online as well. Let's begin this time with a word of prayer and we'll get into our teaching. Father, we thank you so much for yet another beautiful day that you have blessed us with. Thank you for your grace. Thank you for the ability to learn and to grow in the things of God. And I pray God that even as we study and learn, we pray Holy Spirit that He will speak and minister to each of our hearts. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Amen. Alright, so last class we completed up to chapter 83. Now we pick up from chapter 84. Sorry, 82 is where we completed. So we start from 83, right? Is that right? Okay, so chapter 83 called to His purpose. Now when the Lord Jesus called us, He didn't say all you have to do is, you know, sit around and do nothing. Just keep praying the whole day, keep worshipping the whole day. No, God has called us for a purpose. Each one of us have an earthly purpose. Yes or no, right? On earth, God has placed us because we have a purpose. And even as we continue to live our life, the Lord Jesus and through His Holy Spirit enables us to fulfill the purpose that God has for our life, right? There's two important things that we must understand when we say the word purpose. One is a heavenly purpose. One is an earthly purpose. What is a heavenly purpose? A heavenly purpose is basically that we become more like Jesus. We are attitude, our lives are glorified Jesus. Heavenly purpose. And then there's the earthly purpose. Somebody can be called as a businessman, a worship leader, pastor or just working professional. That's your earthly purpose, right? Now let's look at called for His purpose. Romans chapter 8, 28 and 30, 28 through 30. And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. How many of you like this? I really enjoy this verse, right? And we know all things work together for good for those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose. So in life, you know, this verse is really a powerful verse that we can declare. Why? Because not everything we want in life will happen the way we want it, right? There will be ups and downs. Everything will not be smooth in life. Then if everything is smooth in life, that's not how life is, right? There will be ups and downs. But in that ups and downs, in those difficult times, in those seasons of pain and suffering, we can go to this verse. We know that all things work together for good for those who love the Lord. I may not understand why this is good. God, I'm going through this trouble, this period of challenge and difficulty. I don't understand why I have to go through it. I've been a good person. I've been praying. I've been reading the Word. I've been doing everything right. But why should I go through this challenge? Why should I go through all this trouble? What wrong did I do? How many of you have felt that? Others have never felt that? Very good. Everything is happening good in your life. That's good. But I've felt it many times, right? Why is it that we should go through this? It's a verse. God says He works all things together for good for those who love Him and who are called according to His purpose. God has called us. He has a purpose for us. And through every season, He's faithful, right? Look at verse 29. For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover, whom He predestined, these He also called. Whom He called, these He also justified. And whom He justified, He also glorified. Look at that. Whom He predestined, He also called them. Whom He has called, He has justified. What is justified? You should know this by now. Just as if we have not... One more time. What is justified? Okay. I trust you. Just as if we are not sinned. Those who have called, He has called, He has justified. Those who have He has justified, He has glorified. Right? 1 Corinthians chapter 1 verse 26 through 29. For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble are called. But we looked at this last class as well. But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise. And God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty. God has chosen the foolish to put to shame the wise. And God has chosen the weak to put to shame the mighty or the mighty people in this world. And the base things of this world and the things which are despised, God has chosen. So basically Paul is saying, when God chooses us, He appoints us, He calls us for a purpose. And when you are invited and appointed by God, it's not that you are perfect. It's not that I am perfect. It's not that I am the strongest. It's not that, you know, we have the wisdom. He has chosen the weak. He has chosen those who are, you know, unwise to show what the wisdom of God is to the people. Right? So what does it teach us? If God is calling us for something, we don't, you know, studying, learning God's word, improving ourselves, very important. Yes or no? Right? We have to learn. We have to study. We have to learn, spend time in God's word. You know, especially if you want to become a preacher, you know, initially I was in for a shock because I thought, okay, preaching, no problem. Prepared one sermon, went there, tried to preach. I was fully prepared. I prayed, God, you will do some great wonders here. After this, after preparing and I went there to preach, what was a 30-minute sermon or 40-minute sermon? I finished in 10 minutes. 10 minutes is over. So I said, what to do now? People are sitting. And it was such an embarrassing thing. 10 minutes. I prepared the sermon for 30 minutes, but when I went there, 10 minutes. Then I understood, hey, I have to practice it. I have to practice preaching it. What I'm going to say, when I'm going to say, when I'm going to use the examples, what to explain, what not to explain, how to explain, so many things involved. Right? So prayer is important. That is the main foundation. But if you want to become a preacher or a speaker or teacher or even a worship leader, you have to practice. The practical has to be there. You say, I want to become a pastor and do nothing the whole week. It's not going to work. You have to practice. So God calls the week. We may not be qualified. We may not be people who have many degrees. If you have many degrees, that's good. But if you don't have, it's okay because God does not qualify those only who are high in knowledge. He qualifies the week. He chooses the week and he qualifies them to shame the wise. You get what I'm saying, right? If God is calling you for something, don't look at what you are right now. Look at what you can be. Get it? Are you with me? Right? Don't look at what you are right now. Look at what God can make you. But if God is called you, there's a bigger responsibility. I can't say, okay, now I'm like this, but look at five years down the line. I'll be a prophet in the ministry. That's good. But for that, what do you have to do? What do you have to do? If you have to become a preacher, a great evangelist or a great pastor, what must you do? Practice. Okay. What else? First, practice is not first. This is the first thing you should do. You must spend time in God's presence. You must spend time being in His presence. Only then you can do this. Right? So God invites us to enter into His purposes. We are called with a sense of purpose. Right? Chapter 84, justified in a site. We've already talked about this. Go to chapter 85. We are glorified together with Jesus. Now, what is the word glorified together with Jesus? What is the word glorified means? The word glorified means to fill with His presence. Lord, let your glory fall. We sing that song, no? Or the glory of the Lord that it rise upon us. Glory means His presence, His power, His divine presence, His authority, His rule, His reign. That's what glory is. Right? So Romans 8, 20, he says, yeah, again the same verse. But let's go to verse 29. Whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to His image, to the image of His Son. Verse 30. Moreover, Whom He justified, these He also called, Whom He called, He justified. Whom He justified, He has glorified. That means He has poured out His presence upon us. He has changed us. What does glorified mean? It is a sense of worth, right? A sense of being worthy. Now, let me ask you this question. Are we worthy? Are we worthy? No pastor. Very good. How many of you feel you are worthy? Are we worthy? Yes or no? No? We're not worthy. How come we come to God's presence in so much of boldness? Because of what Jesus did on the cross. But when Jesus looks at us, He looks at us as worthy. But are we worthy? Without Jesus, are we worthy? And not only did Jesus give us a sense of worthiness. He says, no longer you are orphans, you are my children. That's why the parable of the lost son is so powerful. It's an example of what Jesus did for us. Everyone knows the parable of the lost son, right? Two brothers, one says, give me my money, goes away. Spends it all in sinful living. Next thing he knows, he's with the pigs. Then he comes back home. What is the father doing? Standing with the belt, come. I have a place ready for you now. What does Jesus do? What does the father do? He counts him worthy. He says, okay, come here. You are staying with the pigs. You're smelling. Go have bath three times. Go give an offering and then come back. Does he say? Does he say? He goes and hugs him. He says, hey, you are my son. Change your clothes. Put a robe. The word in the Old Testament, robe means kingship. Honor. Put a ring. Ring means authority. Remember Daniel, the signet ring. Authority. Sandals. It means inheritance. He made him worthy. Was he worthy? I was just thinking if it happens to an earthly father, what will the earthly father do? He has two choices. A very good father will say, okay, come. But for you, nothing left. You've taken your share. Don't ask me anything more. You can stay in the house. Now, a father who's very upset will say, don't even come near the door. You go somewhere else. They may be your own blood, but still, you know, there's almost... What does this father do? Counts him worthy. Does the son ever feel worthy? Maybe in the story, the son is feeling, oh, no, no, I don't all this. I just thought I'll come and sit quietly, ask for forgiveness and sit at home. Father said, no. You're my son. We have to celebrate. No, no, don't tell everyone that I've come back. No, it's, oh, you've come back home. You were once dead. Now you're alive. So I have to celebrate. I want people to know that you are dead and now you're alive. You see that sense of worthiness? Right? That's what Jesus did for us. He made us worthy when we were not worthy at all. Right? Then we are the beloved of the Father, meaning we are deeply loved. We are His family. We have a rich inheritance. We share with Christ and we represent His kingdom. When there will come a time and when the rapture happens, right? When the Lord Jesus will come. That time, we will be physically also glorified. Right? Our bodies will change. We'll get a glorified body. The same body which Jesus had. That means what? When Jesus came after He resurrected from the dead, did they recognize Jesus? Yes or no? When Jesus resurrected from the dead, He came to meet the disciples. Did the disciples say, oh, this is a watchman? What did they say? It's Jesus. They could recognize Jesus. They saw the glorified body. What did He do? He sat and ate breakfast. Fish. He ate in front of them. Then He said, come and touch. Thomas, you touch my side and see. I'm not a ghost. So you and I will get this glorified body. But right now, on earth, as we are living, God fills us with His glory. Right? And all of these aspects are there with us. Okay. Chapter 86. We are the beloved of the Father. Ephesians one fold. Now, this is again very familiar, very powerful verse. Just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love. Just as He chose us in Him. Now, there is two. He and Him. Right? Just as who chose us? God, the Father chose us. The first He is God. In Him, that is Jesus Christ, before the foundation of the world. Can you believe that? When the Lord Jesus, when God, before He created this world, He chose us to be in His kingdom. And He predestined. He said, okay, this is what this person, this is the plan that I have. Right? This is the plan I have for this person. Right? Now, for example, you want to build a house. You call the architect. The architect comes and he look at the place and he'll say, how many bedroom houses do you want? Oh, I want a duplex with four bedrooms and two hall rooms and there should be three car parking. Okay. So the architect knows what to do. So what does he do? He designs the house and he takes time. He designs. Okay. Where can I put the bedroom? Where can I put the parking? The parking should always be in front. Most of the house. Imagine the parking is somewhere on the side. You have to go around the house two times. So he makes a blueprint. This is bedroom one, bedroom two, open kitchen. This is bedroom three, bedroom four. This is open area. He makes the blueprint. He gives it to the owner. Now it is the owner's choice whether he wants to follow it or not. That's the best plan for the architect. The owner can say, no, I don't want this plan. I want a different plan. I want four bedrooms down on top. I only want to play cricket. So I want the empty space on top. That's your wish. But to make the best use of this place. This is the plan. Best plan. This is the blueprint. But the owner has the choice and he can do whatever he wants to do. If he follows it, it may be good. The house will be good. If he doesn't follow it. It's his wish. He's doing what he wants to do. Now you are the owner of your body right now. Meaning you are the owner of the decisions you make. Is God coming and shaking you every morning and say, do this. God won't do that. You have the choice for your own decisions. Right. So there's a blueprint. Just as God chose us in him before the foundation of the world. So God decided, okay, Joseph. Joseph is in front of me. For the online students. Joseph, this is what I have a plan for you before the foundation of the world. Before God said everything. Let there be earth, all of that. This is the purpose I have for Joseph. When he's 15 years old, he'll come to know the Lord. I'm just sharing right. When he's 20, he will join Bible college. When he is 25, he will start his ministry. And then when he's 28, this is what will happen. This is the blueprint I have. The choice is Joseph's. He says, I don't want ministry. I want to work. God will say, okay, go. But still God is faithful. God won't say, okay, go do what you want. I will not protect you. No. But since God has chosen, he has a plan before the foundation of the world. When we follow God, when we begin to pray and God ministers to us, he leads us. What are we doing? We're following the blueprint. Ah, so this is how I should do. This is what I should do. When the construction of the house is happening, will they build the restroom first? What will they do first? First foundation. Or will they do the car parking first? No. It's all the basics. First, they'll do the foundation. Or even before that, they'll do the borewell. They'll finish all the work, digging work. Then when the wall is coming up, okay, some shape is coming for the house. And finally you reach, the walls are reached 10 feet high. Oh, very nice. Now you know, okay, this is room 1, room 2, room 3. But it's not completed. But you know it. Joseph knows God has called him to be a pastor. Where? There's no church. There's no pastor. Why? Because the digging is happening. The blueprint is there. But it has to get fulfilled. It'll take time. Right? God is working. We have to work along with God. Okay, everyone with me? Okay. So we are the beloved of his father. He has chosen us. We receive his love and rest in his love. Look at this next verse, next word here, sentence. God is too good to do you wrong. He is too wise to make a mistake. And he is too strong to let you down. Isn't that powerful? God is too good to do you wrong. Now many times we do wrong and we blame God. God, you said no. God is saying, I didn't say anything. You did it. All through the Old Testament, if we see, it is not God. God didn't say anything. God told Adam, don't eat the fruit. Very simple. He ate. What did he say? The woman you gave me. God told Moses, I will use you. No, God told Abraham, I will make you the father of many nations. I'll give you a son. But in between what happened? Ishmael. Did I tell you? No. Three, God told Moses, Moses, I'll make you the leader. Bring you out of Egypt. You will lead the people. Moses went and killed the Egyptian. Did God tell him? No. Whose mistake is that? His mistake. Then you look at Joseph. God said, one day your brothers will bow down before you. You will be the leader. Did I ask you to go and show the court to anyone? They ask you to go and explain all your visions to everyone. So sometimes we make mistakes and we blame it on God. Of course, we all make mistakes. But we don't blame it on God. Make mistakes. Overcomes those mistakes. God is bigger. God is too wise to make mistakes. God does not make mistakes. We make the mistake. And sometimes we blame God. Anywhere in the Old Testament, did God make a mistake? Anywhere in the New Testament, did God make a mistake? There is no mistake. God doesn't make mistakes. He's perfect. You know the song we sing, no? You're a good father, good, good father. He is perfect in all of his ways. He's perfect. There are mistakes. It's only from RM. Or maybe we have not put faith in him. We have not trusted him completely. Says here, he's too good to do you wrong. He's too wise to make mistakes. And he's too strong to let you down. He will not let you down. When we feel weak, when we feel like giving up, he's too strong. All we need to do is look to him. He'll give us the strength. He's an unchanging heavenly father and an unfailing heavenly father. A bountiful and generous father, a merciful father. Imagine, we have all of this in our heavenly father. He can go to him, a redeeming father, an accepting father, a father of abundant grace, an empowering father and an infinite father. We have all of this. All of this is our father. So imagine, if we have to go to him, he's not looking at how long you and I are praying and how long we're... He's not going to look at it that way. You know, for many years, I was in that mindset. If I pray, God will love me more. God will anoint me more. They're already anointed. When I pray, I'm not doing God a favour. I'm not saying, God, see, now I prayed one night, you should anoint me. No. God is already anointed us. When we pray, it is good for us, not good for God. You understand? It's not like we're doing, okay, God, see, you told me, pray, I pray. Then God can say, for whose good you prayed? I don't need anything. You prayed for your good. Yes or no? I prayed for my good. I sing songs, pray and worship him for my good. Not for God. God has thousands and millions of angels praying and singing for him the whole time. He doesn't need us. But when we worship him, when we praise him, he's delighted in that. He delights in the praises of his people. When we pray, he says, you seek and you will find me. You knock, the door will open because I delight in what you're doing. Yet, it's for our good. Are you getting what I'm saying? Right? So never feel, oh man, I got up 5 a.m., I have to pray. Oh God, I'm very tired. What to do? If that's the attitude, change. You better go back to sleep. I may sound a little harsh, but it's the truth. Because we're coming to God's presence. It is a loving father and he's all of this. He's accepting. He's loving. He's infinite. And so when we come to him, it's not a favor that we are doing. He loves us. He is accepting us. So it should be a joyful thing for his presence. Yes or no? Yes? Okay. We are family chapter 87. We belong to the family of faith. We are his sons and daughters. We love and relate to one another in spite of our differences. Now, if you look at it in the natural, how many of you have brothers and sisters? Most of us. Right? You don't have any brother and sister? No brother, no sister. What did he say? Sorry? One brother. Alright. So brothers and sisters in a home, how many of you have fought with your brothers and sisters? Some of you haven't fought at all with your brothers and sisters. Now, I say I have two brothers. They have fought and I watched them fight. Because I was the youngest so they never hit me. And I watched them. One thing, you know what? As brothers, three of us right now, we are all in different countries but we are very close to each other. Very close to each other. Even now. Very close to each other. Right? Even though we have grown up now, why? Because we have learned to be there for each other no matter what. We are always there with each other. And sometimes my parents say what only you will talk like small children? Because we do these WhatsApp call, video calls and all. We speak for one and half hours, two hours. Well, even parents, what do you all talk so much? Brothers, we have so many things to talk about. Because there is love that is so strong to each other. Right? Yes or no? If you are having a family get together, you talk with your family you can go on talking and talking and talking and then you don't need lunch time also you will not feel hungry, no problem. You can talk and talk and talk, it can become evening and then you want some tea. Then even if there is no dinner, no problem you can continue talking. Why? Because you love one another, you relate to one another. You know these family get together? Keep talking. One point, one story will pick up the others will take the same story. Why? Because you can relate to one another. That's what it is. When you go to the father if you love the father you have so much to talk about. Yes or no? If there is no relationship we can't talk. Okay Jesus, thank you for the fridge and thank you for washing machines thank you for giving me good health and thank you for Bible. What will happen? Jesus say okay, welcome but if you have a relationship with the father you come to him and you can just talk to him. It can go one hour, it can go two hours it can go three hours why? It's a relationship. You just build it. You can just talk and talk and talk to him. The problem is in Christianity what we have done no, we have forgotten that he is our father and we always think of yes there is a place and a time we have to close the door pray and just be there but remember that we can talk to him anytime just keep talking to him and there are times I just talk to him say God this week, new week, new month God please help me this is what I need this is the things to get done in church these are the work that I have to complete I need your strength I need your wisdom, just talking I know God you are with me there are mistakes that I make but I know that you will help me help me to learn from those mistakes if there are times when I have got upset forgive me there are times I have said some things which have hurt people forgive me help me to be more wise help me to talk the right way that's all I do now I know that I am not perfect but these are things that help I just keep talking God this I have to lead worship so help me give me the wisdom make your presence touch people's lives just talking to him out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks amen so make it a habit make it a habit what you have inside will come out my teacher used to say G-I-G-O the subject is called Gigo even say Gigo G-I-G-O garbage in garbage out correct if garbage goes in, the garbage will come out if God's word goes in what will come out God's word will come out yes so keep doing that understand that you are part of God's family and you can just talk to him right then chapter 88, everyone with me okay as let's read Romans 8 16 and 17, the spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God and if children then as as of God and joint as with Christ if indeed we suffer with him that we also may be glorified together again we talk about the witness right, the spirit himself bears witness with our spirit his spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God and we are heirs how many of you know what the meaning of heirs is I've explained this once right heirs means there's one rich person and he has one son right so he's a heir to the fortune that means after this father dies everything will go to the son the son may be tenth fail doesn't matter right so this businessman would have studied all his life struggled and started the business you know put all his money and put all his time went through loss went through difficult times and after 30 years of business now his business is successful who went through all the problems the father now the son has gone to school he's been a naughty boy in the school not studying not doing anything he has done his tenth standard he has failed tenth standard right and now suddenly the father dies what happens he's the heir to the business he may be tenth fail but whatever belongs to the father belongs to him now that is called heir right understood everyone now what are we here we are heirs to an inheritance as an heir of god you have inheritance that means we shall we partakers of the inheritance God gives his people we are in Christ and thus we partake in his glory everything that God has given to his son he's giving to each one of us because we are heirs next verse says you know we are joint heirs meaning we are sharing with Christ joint heir co heirs it means we are part of that inheritance right so whatever Jesus is as a son you and I are also have the same inheritance we walk as Christ walk we all we walk in all that Christ walked as a son of God and wherever he whatever he did Jesus walked in victory over sin you and I can walk in victory Jesus walked in mastery over Satan and his demons you and I can walk in mastery our life on earth here is the same as how Jesus was how Jesus walked in authority you and I can walk in that same authority why because we are co heirs with Christ imagine Jesus said to those demons what did he say get out all that we have to say is name and get out in Jesus name has to go why because we are the same we are like co heirs Jesus and us just as Jesus walked we are walking and we may not be there in that level spiritually or we may not be there in that anointing yet or in that level of spirituality but God is calling us to that yes like God is calling us to that level and it's possible it is possible now when you look at what's happening around the world there are some great miracles that are happening 20 years or 10 years 15 years down the line previously dead man coming back to life was a great thing now it's happening in churches it's happening people are being raised from the dead people have leprosy are being healed people who have cancers are being healed Jesus did all of that people who are possessed by demons for years are being delivered how because of the name of Jesus why is it when demons see you and me they are fearful why is it we are not looking so scary why do demons why are demons afraid when they look at us very good because they see Jesus Christ in us it's like Jesus is walking can the demon say anything against Jesus it's like Jesus is walking now you may think hey but I've seen in front of I've stood in front of many demon possessed people they have not got scared they have not got scared and they have not been delivered so it doesn't mean that you are not walking as Jesus is walking it's just that we need to grow we need to build us we need the anointing of the Holy Spirit to walk in that that measure of faith that we need the anointing so it involves us you know when Jesus was in his earthly ministry did Jesus say I'm the son of God I don't need to pray did he need to pray yes or no do you think he needed to pray yes if what if he didn't pray what would have happened you should think about all this now if he didn't pray he was only the son of God he came in he knew ok one day I'll be crucified but if he didn't pray what would have happened were the demons possessed people be healed will the people who are sick lepers and all be healed no would they be healed or no he's the son of God he's a messiah so if Jesus didn't pray would he have walked on water would he have healed the blind if he didn't pray why did he pray he prayed because he two things one depending on his heavenly father even though he could have done all of that he was depending on the heavenly father saying father I depend on you I want to be obedient to you two second reason he prayed was to set the example for you and me if we didn't pray if Jesus didn't pray we wouldn't have prayed hey Jesus went about healing everyone we also would have tried it but Jesus prayed before that so it's very important to understand that when Jesus did something on earth there's a reason he did it you and I can follow that be just like Jesus okay chapter 90 talks about ambassadors we represent his kingdom so wherever we go we are ambassadors we represent his kingdom you know every nation has one ambassador so there's a globally there's united nations right there's this whole gathering where one leader from each country comes and they represent the nation so one person is sent from India to go to this country and represent India now this person can if he doesn't know how to speak English for example what will they think all the Indians don't know how to speak English if this person doesn't have good manners of good etiquette right while eating food he's dropping everywhere what will they think all the Indians are doing the same thing of this Indian is during the meeting he's falling asleep what will they think all Indians are like this why because he's the ambassador but if he goes in with well dressed speaks fluently appropriately very well mannered what will they say oh it's coming from India so the Indians have grown they're so well mannered they're so culturally sensitive and wonderful one person representing the entire 1.3 billion people in India now you are ambassadors of Christ so when people look at you you're representing who they're not representing your hometown you're representing God's kingdom you're representing Jesus so that's what ambassadors is then chapter 91 awaiting future glory revealing of the sons of God Romans 8 18 through 21 we'll read that for I consider that the sufferings present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which will be revealed in us for the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God for the creation was subjected to futility not willingly but because of him who subjected it in hope because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God so basically here Paul is talking about the future glory that you and I will have this present time as believers and as people who are walking on this earth we will go through troubles we will go through persecutions challenges but Paul is saying here all these challenges everything that I see is nothing compared to the glory that I will see in heaven with my heavenly Father so this trouble challenges that I see is very small one day I will be with God and I will see him in all his glory and I will see him face to face I will be transformed and this trouble what I am facing Paul is saying this trouble this you know they are hitting me they are putting me into prison because the future is bright in the future God has a big plan for me in heaven God has big things for me so Paul is encouraging himself let's read 1 John 3 1 to 3 and we close this is a wonderful verse very very powerful verse behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed unto us that we are called the children of God therefore yet the world does not know us because it does not know him don't be surprised if the world does not appreciate us and know us because it did not know him beloved now we are the children of God and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be but we know that when he is revealed we shall be like him for we shall see him as he is and everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself just as he is pure what a powerful verse future glory but we know that when he is revealed meaning when Jesus is revealed we shall be like him and we will see him like he is this is the greatest hope that you and I can have as believers the greatest hope no matter what happens in life if I fail if I go through difficulties if I lose a loved one if I lose my family members very painful very hurtful time but the hope is one day we will see Jesus face to face that is the greatest hope you can have as believers all that we are doing all that we are reading all that we are praying and worshiping one day we will see him in all his glory in all his majesty we will see him face to face that is the joy so even as we live life every day we live with that assurance right now just because we are going to see him one day doesn't mean we don't do anything here we work, we do ministry we have to do but the hope is one day I will see the Lord Jesus that is our final destination and so we should be encouraged amen so we will stop here and then we will pick up from Friday in our next class chapter 92 onwards alright thank you everyone thank you those who are online God bless you
