Summary

So let's look at verse, chapter four, verses beginning in verse 21, and we're going to read through the first verse of chapter five. I think it's really a beautiful highlighting point for us in ministry as missionaries remember we're all missionaries because we're sinners who love Jesus sharing Jesus love with other sinners. So, in the word, scripture is, is studied, or when it is proclaimed, when the word is put with the tangible of the water and baptism, when the word comes to us in holy communion, Jesus Christ, truly present, in the bread and wine for the forgiveness of sin, God is coming through the vehicles that He has appointed to deliver us His fantastic word of victory, that fantastic word that is for all of us, that we are forgiven and redeemed through the cross of Jesus. It's like, please don't call the ambulance because all we're going to do is come here and intubate you and you're going to die in the hospital rather than at home, which is, you know, from your medisthenic cancer. It's moving through the Holy Spirit with the power of the Holy Spirit and he says, or I will take you cold and now why would Jesus want the church to be cold because he can warm it up? But then we leave and the weak progresses and the weak creeps in, and we find that we're in a state of thin that we're sinning once again, sometimes before we even get out the door, we find that we have once again gone against God's word, gone against God's will and we come back and we come back to hear that word again proclaimed that word of forgiveness proclaimed over us and to us because when we go out into the daily life into the world around us, we forget at times that we're forgiven or we begin to wonder, am I?
