 Okay, so we have just understood the deity of Jesus and the humanity. Yeah, Hebrews chapter 3 is the main theme here is that the Lord Jesus is more superior to Moses. One of the reasons why the author would choose to talk about this is because he wants the people to heed the word of God through the Lord Jesus because the Lord Jesus himself is Logos. So he wants the believers to fix their eyes on Jesus. Jesus being superior to the angels. Jesus being the right representative who having put on humanity and now superior to Moses. The Jewish believers held Moses with great respect. He was one of their greatest prophets and now the writer is telling them that Jesus is even greater than Moses. Why would you not honor him? Why would you not worship him? Why would you not listen to what he has to say? And so again, this passage now we also know that originally when scriptures were put together, there was no real numbering there, but the numbering has been done for our convenience. So it's in continuation. So he just talked about the humanity of Jesus. Again, there's a word called therefore. Therefore is a connecting word. Now that I've talked about all these things, I'm going to tell you something more. There's a connection. Therefore, he says, Holy brethren, he just shared with the believers that Jesus is the brother. And so now what other believers being called brethren, Holy brethren, because they have also received salvation through the works of Jesus. Okay, so Holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling. Wow. What favor isn't it that the believers are being told that their position now has completely changed. So maybe in the earthly realm, they are going through difficulties and the kind of persecution that they were facing at the time. They might have lost respect from the people of their own community. Now if Jews put their trust in the Messiah, the Lord Jesus, they would have had to forego several rights. Maybe even the right to land, the right to certain provisions. People would not have respected them. While they're going through such crisis, the author is reminding them, think about your spiritual identity, earthly identity. Yes, you're going through some struggles, but who are you? Holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling. So wake up to the great spiritual reality of what you have in Christ Jesus. Earlier as partakers of the heavenly calling, we know that the writer also said, sons of glory because Jesus died to bring many sons to glory. So these believers were also those who were blessed by the Lord Jesus in all these ways. So basically he's bringing encouragement, encouragement after encouragement. Fix your eyes on Jesus, know who you are, know your identity. And he says, in going through whatever you are facing today, consider, consider the apostle and high priest of our confession, Christ Jesus. You know, beautiful thing is that in difficulties, we can fix our eyes on the problems. We can fix our eyes on the loss. We can fix our eyes on many things around us. But you notice the writer of the Hebrews, all that the believers are going through. He knows that if they neglect so great a salvation, you know, they might drift away. So he's telling them again and again, now we see Jesus. Look at Jesus. Now he is, he is all this to us. And then again, he says, consider, consider, you know, consider over there, the Greek word which is used is Kata, no, no, in, okay, K-A-T-A-N-O-E-I-N. Consider is to very carefully examine and look deeply into when you want to buy, let's say a laptop, you don't just see a name. Oh, I see some name, HP something. I'll just buy it. It's okay. We don't do that. We very carefully consider, isn't it? We see, okay, I need these features. What is the battery life? What is this? What is that? You examine, you consider deeply. And then you go ahead and make a purchase because it's very, very important. So the same way he says, when you think about the Lord Jesus, think deeply, give your full attention. Don't just have Christ as a passing thought. No. Consider. Whatever I've told you so far, please remember that and in addition to it, consider. He calls the Lord Jesus, you see, more functions that explain the person of Christ to us. He says, Apostle. Who is an Apostle? Apostle is an ambassador, okay, a representative. So Jesus is the representative of Father God. So he is an Apostle and high priest. We are told that he's also the high priest, high priest of our confession. So that also tells us that he's the one who stands before the father for us. And he represents us. And he's the high priest of our confession. Our confession is the confession of our faith. So he's holding on to that. And these are the functions. He becomes the ambassador of the kingdom of God. And he's also the high priest who in a way, he watches over our confession and what should our confession be? Our confession should be a confession of faith. Now in the case of what these believers were going through, the writer wanted their confession to be a godly confession. Instead of saying, oh, we are struggling. Where is God? What is this? None of that. Instead, a confession of faith which says, you know, we know God is for us. We know that the Lord Jesus has become our redeemer. He has bought salvation. You see, confessing the word of God, confessing the truth of God's word, not just the natural facts, but the confession of faith. And the Lord Jesus, he's the apostle and the high priest of our confession. What confession? Verbal confession. And you could also, you know, consider the confession in a way, the life that we live in alignment to God and salvation. So he is watching over our lives and, you know, he is watching over our confession and we better make a confession of faith. We are also told that the Lord Jesus was faithful to him who appointed him. Who appointed him? God the Father appointed him. Did he complete what he needed to complete? Yes. Did he complain about it? No. But he fulfilled everything that he was called to do. And similar to what kind of responsibility did Jesus fulfill? Very similar to Moses. Now Moses was also faithful in all of God's house. How was Moses faithful? He too completed what God called him to do. However, here is the comparison. He says, both are faithful. Jesus was faithful. Moses was faithful. But Jesus is one counted worthy of more glory than Moses. Why? Because Moses was just an earthly leader. What about Jesus? Jesus is God. Jesus is the Son of God. No, he is both God and man. So, while you respect Moses and you respect the law of Moses, you need to give greater honor and worship to the Lord Jesus Christ because he is the Messiah. I am going from verse 3. So, he says here, look, when you look at a house, we praise the house. But honor is given to the one who built the house. So, in the same way, we honor Moses because he was a faithful servant in God's house. But how much more should we honor the Lord Jesus Christ? Because he is the heir. He is the Son over the house of God. So, you see that. Moses is but a human being. So, he is just bringing a correct understanding to the Jewish believer. And he says that because Jesus is greater, I want you to stand firm. And also, over here, he adds this and he says, whose house we are. Whose house we are. So, that's a manner of speech that shows us that we are God's family. Isn't that wonderful? Now, again, earlier we saw Jesus saying that he is not ashamed to be called our brother. So, we are brothers and sisters of Jesus. Now, we are told whose house we are. We are called as his family. We are holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling. Now, what a wonderful privilege, what a great position we have as God's people. And then, he also encourages and he says, look, if you give up on your faith, then you will not so much be a house of God. But he says, we are his house if we hold fast the confidence. So, basically, he's saying, don't give up, hold on to your faith. And he says, rejoicing of the hope, firm to the end. Now, when we do that, when we are people who are steadfast and firm and established in who God is, who we are. Isn't it? Like, if you look at three chapters here, if you pull out, okay, what are the main themes that are talked about here? You would find God's identity, who is God and then man's identity or a believer's identity. Who is a believer? Who am I in Christ Jesus? And then, you know, you find encouragement. Keep focusing on these things and be strong. Hold fast the confidence, rejoicing of the hope, firm to the end. And he continues and says that one needs to apply their faith, one needs to apply their obedience in their relationship with God. So, he goes back and refers to the generation that Moses led. So, I'm in verse 7. I am going to read from there. He says, therefore, as the Holy Spirit says, you see Trinity. Remember? There is a mention. So, the Godhead, their interaction, the person, son of God, we understood. The father appointed the son. You see, there's so much about each person of the Godhead that we can pick up. And now it says, the Holy Spirit says, so, Holy Spirit communicates. Holy Spirit, third person of the Trinity. We are gaining that understanding. So, where is revelation coming from? You know, if you go back to certain passages in the Bible, you study that the spirit of God is the spirit of revelation, spirit of understanding. So, no wonder he's bringing in understanding from a certain passage of scripture. Holy Spirit says, today, if you will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion. In the day of trial in the wilderness, where your father's tested me, tried me and saw my works 40 years. Therefore, I was angry with that generation and said, they always go astray in their heart and they have not known my ways. So, I swore in my wrath, they shall not enter my rest. So, in the kind of life that the people led by Moses had, you notice that there was an issue with their heart. You know, they went astray. They always go astray in their heart. So, where do our responses, our reactions, our motives arise in our heart? And as long as our heart is filled with faith, we're okay. But when we go astray in our heart, you know, it always works like this, isn't it? It begins with our thoughts and then our actions are affected, our behavior is affected, our lifestyle is affected. But where is the beginning of this progression from our hearts? So, in the same way, you look at the generation that Moses led. Now, this is the generation that did not make it into the promised land. Did God want promised land for them? Yes. How far was the promised land? If you look at the maps, you will realize that something like 11 days, just 11 days away, promised land was there. Moses took these people out of Egypt. In 11 days, they should have reached. But 40 years, they were going round and round and round in the wilderness. Why? Their hearts did not have faith. You see here, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion. So, what kind of hearts did they have? Hearts that went astray. Hearts that were hardened. What is a hardened heart? A hardened heart is a heart that does not have a sensitive response to what God says. We know about the work of the Holy Spirit. He convicts us of righteousness, sin, righteousness and judgment. So, as soon as we have a sense of what I did was wrong. When we respond to God, oh God, you know, you are convicting me. Holy Spirit, you are convicting me. Okay, I won't do that or I will repent before you or I will ask for forgiveness or I will make it right. If we don't do that, over time what happens? Our heart doesn't respond anymore. We can keep doing the mistake again and again and again and not feel anything because our heart has become hard. So, these people went astray in their hearts. They had hardened hearts as in the rebellion. Rebellion is what? To say, we don't want your ways. Whatever we think is good for us, we want that. So, God brought them out of slavery from Egypt. But here they were complaining about some leaks and I don't even know what things are, garlic and all that is not there. Meat is not there. Moses, why did you bring us to the wilderness? Did you want to kill us? A very rebellious attitude. They were so self-absorbed. They just wanted what they wanted. They did not yield to what God was doing in their midst. Now, if they had yielded, if they had the right kind of response, reaction to God, what could we have expected? Eleven days go from Egypt to Kenan, finished. Forty years they are in the wilderness. And what else do we read here? One second. Thank you. Fathers tested me, tried me. So, that is God's experience with these people. They were unbelieving. They were testing God. God, give us a sign. Prove this, prove that. So, basically, it all boils down to unbelief. And we are told, they saw my works for 40 years. What kind of works did they see? They saw water come from a rock. They saw mana. They saw quail. They saw the red sea parting. The more, you know, when we see God's work, what should happen to our hearts? It should become softer. Because we understand, oh, what a good God. It should become softer. But how sad these people had a hardened heart. No matter what God did for them. They saw so many miracles. You know, pillar of fire, cloud. Amazing things. After seeing so much, they are still rebellious. They tested. Your fathers tested me, tried me. Okay. So, what happened? God says I was angry with that generation. So, we know ultimately what God decided. This generation will not go into the promised land. Do you recall? There was only the younger generation led by Caleb, Joshua. They were the ones who went into the promised land. Why? You know, unbelief cannot inherit the promises of God. Okay. So, that is the reason. And so, the writer here is pointing out to the believers and saying, Never lose your faith. Faith is very important. Hold on to the confession. Because Jesus, he is the apostle and the high priest of our confession. And continue to have faith. Don't be like the people whom Moses led. I got so angry with them that I decided that they shall not enter my rest. What is the rest of God? The fulfilled promise. The fulfillment of God's promise. Kenan. Okay. Kenan is the representation of the fulfillment of God's promise. People of this generation did not receive the promise. What is the reason? Answer. Unbelief. Unbelief. So, unbelief can keep us away. And the urgency which the writer adds to it. He says, today, if you hear God's voice, he says, learn to respond quickly today. Today, it's like saying right now, if you hear God's voice respond, don't say, I will make a decision tomorrow. I will accept Christ tomorrow. Don't put it off. Whenever God speaks, be sensitive. That's the bottom line. Okay. Go ahead. Again, he says, beware. Brethren verse 12, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief. So, what is a description he gives to a heart of unbelief? He says, evil. You know, a heart that doesn't trust God is an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God. And what does unbelief cause us to do? Again, it's like a warning. He's packed in a warning in these passages. And he's saying, don't neglect. Lest you drift away. Give the most earnest heed. Consider. And he says, evil heart of unbelief departing from the Lord. It will cause us to do what? Then we keep unbelief. We think nothing will happen. But evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God. Okay. Living God is, you know, he is with us. He's so real. And yet we are not able to trust him. That's such a tragedy. But then he says, instead of that, going away from God, exalt one another daily while it is called today. So, there is the value of the persecuted believers, right? Similarly, you could, we applied today for ourselves. We should not have a heart of unbelief. It's dangerous to have a heart of unbelief. And at the same time, now there is value in believers encouraging one another. How often should you encourage one another? It says, one exalt one another daily. So, each one of us, we may think that I am not a preacher. I am not a teacher of God's word. I don't know so many things. But we can encourage them in what? In faith. If our encouragement helps somebody to have stronger faith in God. You could speak scripture. You could share about the Lord Jesus and his work of salvation. And what did we learn earlier? Hebrews 2-4, whenever we speak God's word, God follows it up with signs, wonders, miracles. So, you just be faithful to encourage people with the truth of God's word. How often? Daily. Whenever we get an opportunity, somebody is discouraged. Somebody is going through some situation as a believer. I can encourage them. Regularly. I can encourage different people around me, my family members, my church people. Regularly, I can encourage them to keep their faith in God. Why? Because when we do that, as a community, we are told here that no less their hearts be hardened. If we don't do that, what happens? You know, it's an opportunity which God has given us. If we don't do that, we're also forgoing that opportunity. And what is the danger? Hearts can be hardened through deceitfulness of sin. There's so much depth in that. Hardened. Okay? So hardened heart is an unresponsive, a heart that lacks sensitivity towards God. Through the deceitfulness of sin. What is the quality of sin? Sin lies to us. If you recall, going back to the garden, what did the serpent tell Eve? If you eat this fruit, you will become like God. Is that true? Partly. You know, some knowledge she received of good and evil. But did she become like God? Actually no. Death came in. Sin came in. Death came in. How is God? God has eternal life. But what happened to mankind? Death came in. And so, the serpent deceived Eve. That is the quality of sin. Even today, Satan promises many things. Oh, if you engage in pleasure, no problem, nothing will happen. Nobody will know. But scriptures tell us, deceitfulness of sin. It will lead us to destruction. That part, he won't tell us. And that is why we will see in Hebrews. There is another passage where entangled, it says entangled in sin. It's like this spider web. Have you seen? Some small insects without their knowledge. If they just enter that web, what happens? They just get all entangled. They don't know how to come out of it. So, sin has that quality of deceiving us and capturing us. And so, this is a warning. We are told, unbelief and a hard, hard deceitfulness of sin. Stay away from it. And one of the responsibilities he gives us to all the believers in the community and he says, you know that in the journey with God, sometimes people go through discouragement. So, as a believer, why can't you encourage another believer? Whatever possible, you encourage them. So that everyone fervently follows Christ and hold on to their faith. He says, for we have become partakers of Christ. Earlier, what did he say? Partakers of the heavenly calling. That is our identity. Now he says, we have become. How did we become? By putting our faith in Jesus. Partakers of Christ. If we hold on the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end while it is said, today if you will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion. Again, he's just saying we need faith. We have to hold on to faith. Don't become hard of heart. And you know in the Christian journey when we study the book of Hebrews, it's also an encouragement for us helps us recognize that beginning is great. The beginning of our faith journey is wonderful and a lot of times that's what we talk about. So and so, accept it Christ. Wow, it's great. Yeah, even heaven choices when somebody accepts Christ. But when we journey along there is an element of perseverance required. It's not easy. Okay, we have to make the journey till the end. So what is more glorious? Beginning is glorious. No doubt the end should be more glorious and that's what God wants for the believers and that's what the believers are being encouraged and said hold on you know, keep that confidence till the end. Till the end. Come on believer, you have to journey till the end and that is also one of the themes of the book of Hebrews. Till the end make it to the finish line. That is very important. Going to a 16 year again he's referring to those rebellious generation he says what happened to them? They heard having heard rebelled. So is it that God is not speaking? No, God is speaking. We are not responding in the right way to God. That is the issue. So that was the problem with the generation. One is they didn't have faith. Now you notice that they did not even have obedience. That was the second issue here. One was faith. There was a faith issue. There's the obedience issue. So he says continuing from verse 16 for who having heard rebelled indeed. Was it not all who came out of Egypt led by Moses? Now with whom was he angry for tears? Was it not with those who sinned? Whose corpses fell in the wilderness? And to whom did he swear that they would not enter his rest but to those who did not obey? So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief. So there is the element of unbelief which kept them away from what the highest and best that God wanted for that generation what was it? Canaan. The promised land. The land running with milk and honey. God wanted that for them. But they never got it. Hardened heart deceitfulness of sin unbelief and also we've just seen disobedience. God was speaking to them but they never responded. They did their own thing. So these are all warnings for us you know as believers today. We have to be careful about unbelief and disobedience. Now let's move on to Hebrews chapter 4 this passage it is in continuation to what we have been reading now about this generation and the reason why they did not receive the promised land again you know he adds that connecting term there therefore now you understood what unbelief can do so therefore since the promise remains of entering his rest now he's trying to shift the focus to the reality that the land of Canaan is not the final rest. If it was the final rest then the people already got rest what else is left nothing. But he says no it's not over yet all of us as believers can experience the promised land you know in the sense that they are the promises of God. We can experience the promises of God if we continue with faith and obedience. So that's what he's saying. So now it's coming to the believer it's not so much about the rebellious generation. So he says since the promise remains of entering his rest let us fear less any of you seem to have come short of it. Meaning he says please don't miss it it's available so don't miss it. For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them but the word which they heard did not profit them not being mixed with faith in those who heard it. So he's saying you know what is that key ingredient which these people missed out the rebellious generation did they hear God's voice yes. Did they hear God's commands yes but here's the problem they did not mix it with that active ingredient called faith they miss the faith so they heard the word but they did not mix it with faith. So he's telling the believers of today if you hear God's voice if you hear God's word mix it with faith then you can see God's promise unfolding. This is like saying this term mix they have looked it up in the Hebrew and basically it comes from the application where whenever we eat food it gets mixed with our saliva it also gets mixed with our digestive juices if that doesn't happen the food will not be digested you see so in a similar way when we hear God's word there are so many people who hear God's word but when we hear the word as there's no faith yeah okay whatever this is what the Bible says okay fine when we hear God's word like that without reverence without faith it doesn't work for us so he's telling the believers come on have faith in God whatever he has told you will he not do it just because you're going through some difficulties why do you let go of God's word you know you mix it with faith when you mix it with faith what happens that word gets digested and it produces for us you recall when we studied about the Barians in the book of Acts they were a fair-minded people and the word which they heard they never took it lightly they went back they examined the scriptures because they wanted to put their faith in it so God's word should never be studied like historical record or you know some geographical information or you know knowledge I'm getting knowledge out of reading the Bible all of that is there it very much is one of the greatest literary works but you see there can be so many historians and scholars who have read the Bible and yet never received salvation why? because they never mixed faith so what is the active ingredient which will cause the word to be digested and produce fruit in our lives promise to be fulfilled in our lives faith ok so faith makes it work so he's inviting the believer he's saying keep your faith come on if you have your faith hold on to your faith now you will see God bringing you out so he continues he says for we who have believed do enter that rest because God wants to provide his rest rest in other words is fulfilled promises ok God's fulfilled promises so you know he says so they shall so I swore in my wrath they shall not enter my rest this is the rebellious generation although the works are finished from the foundation of the world so how does God finish the works in the beginning right how does God finish the works in the beginning so one way of understanding this is in his mind God saw everything unfold in his mind it was done over so once it was done in his mind that's when you know he started like working on the world he again kind of created he said let that be light but before that in the beginning itself it was over because in his mind it was done the plan was done in his mind so the works were finished from the foundation of the world so that is very hard for us to understand how can you finish in the beginning but in God's mind everything was done ok Jesus had come Jesus has redeemed everything is over in his mind for he has spoken in a certain place of the seventh day in this way and God rested on the seventh day from all his works so we are told that in creation we all know that on the seventh day did God need rest personally I don't think so because we know that he never slumbers he never gets weary he doesn't require that kind of a rest but when you see God follow something there is value in it even if we don't understand fully why did God rest we may not you know know all the answers but on the seventh day he rested that means there is something called and then he says they shall not enter my rest so there is a kind of rest that God experienced and he says my rest so a God kind of rest is available which God himself experienced and God is saying I want to give it to you but how can we experience that kind of rest God kind of rest through faith and through obedience so those are the answers so there is a rest there remains a rest that we must enter the writer says to the the perplex the demotivated the discouraged believers don't worry you can have the God kind of rest even in this situation there is a rest that you must enter okay and so I want you to respond to it you know if there was no such rest then we would not talk about it because if Joshua had given rest okay in this passage he says the people were led to the promised land and that is the end of the story so there is no more rest but there is a rest there remains therefore a rest for the people of God so when we walk by faith you know it's amazing that we can experience a calm we can experience a joy a peace which is beyond our understanding it's the God kind of rest that God alone gives us but how can I receive this rest faith obedience not like the rebellious generation they God did so many wonders still they did not believe but when we have that simple faith that responds immediately it says today if you hear God's voice meaning the sensitivity urgency immediately you respond oh God you are saying okay I believe I believe you know when we walk with faith with God we are told that we can experience God the God kind of rest okay it's an amazing rest that only it's a spiritual rest that we can experience then we are also told verse 10 for he who has entered his rest meaning you see here again it's kind of strange it is rest but we have to enter the rest meaning it's going to take an effort from our side to get into this rest whose rest his rest God's rest God kind of rest so can all believers have it it's available for all believers but we have to take the initiative to enter it okay so who has entered his rest himself it says also seized from his works as God did from his so we are told you see on the seventh day God you don't find that he created anything seven day he just rested so there was no work no performance on the part of God so what is the parallel the parallel is when we experience salvation or when we experience the promises of God there is one kind of work which we are doing what is that work we are applying our faith that's the only thing that God is looking for not to make it happen with our performance but we accept the work which Christ has done you see so the righteousness that we walk in today is through the work which Christ has done but what is the so called work that we are doing faith in what Jesus has done so that is what is required of us that's all we have faith what Jesus has done so we are resting in that sense we are seizing from our works in that sense by putting our trust in the work which the Lord Jesus has done for us so the writer he invites us in verse 11 he says be diligent you know diligent is when somebody is sincerely engaging in work you are a diligent student meaning somebody who is working hard and studying and you know keeping up with the requirements of their study that person is diligent so we are told here that one needs to be diligent to do what enter rest sounds funny you know you are saying rest and then you are saying diligent work hard be sincere how can we do that have faith consistent don't give up on your faith be firm be steadfast don't keep moving like you know when you see a boat in a storm there's waves and winds how does the boat look it's shaking shaking shaking all over it's not steady but when it is anchored what is that anchor faith even if the winds shake it a little bit it's steadfast and firm so faith will keep us constant we can be diligent hold on to our faith that's what diligence means here hold on to your faith to do what to enter rest let anyone fall according to the example of disobedience so he's warning them time and again come on people believers not the way the the previous generation you know rebelled against God I don't want that to happen to you so now he's saying fall you remember it's a warning lest you drift away neglect now he says fall so please be careful and now he comes to giving the attention to God's word verse 12 he says for the word of God is living and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword even to the division of soul and spirit and of joint and narrow and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart so he reveals the quality of God's word and the inherent ability you know there is an ability which a substance has for example we could take you know an alcohol let's say some ethyl alcohol and you light it it'll go up in flames so they say the property is it's combustible or it can catch fire or people say soap what is the property if you put soap in water it'll cleanse so it has all these ingredients and it has the ability to clean in the same way the author he talks about the word of God and says there is an ability which God's word has so it is living don't take it lightly if you put the word inside you it has its ability it's alive have you ever seen under a microscope in school they made us do this lactobacillus acidophilus curd a few drops and then you just put it under the microscope and you can see those creatures those organisms and you are thinking oh my goodness do these creatures exist in the food that I am eating because they are alive they are moving around but till you saw what was in there you didn't realize it's living it's active so we are told here God's word is like that you put it into yourself and then observe who you become there is a change there is a transformation and we wonder how could it happen because the word has an ability it is living it is powerful it is sharper than any two-edged sword you know two-edged sword you want to cut something there are two edges to a sword it will go deeper isn't it if you have only one edge it will cut one side but not both sides it is two-edged meaning it can do a deep work within us piercing even the division of soul and spirit so what are the things in my soul you know what is of my flesh what is of the spirit God's word has the ability ability to reveal these things to us and that is why even when we talk about the prophetic you know people say how can I know God is speaking to me is this my mind is this you know the more of the word of God we know it will help us discern what is from the flesh what is from the spirit what is the Holy Spirit saying so the word has all this ability so I am just going to stop here because I recognize we are out of time and I really hope we are getting something out of it and we are enjoying the book of Hebrews so at this point let's pray and close I want to request somebody to please lead us with the word of prayer and you know we can close this class okay who is able to pray anyone comfortable to unmute and pray okay Eren I can't
