God's Holy Days Are His Loving Gift to Mankind!

If I were to ask a question, what's one of the greatest biblical truth? What would you say if you were to put something down on your paper, one of the greatest or the greatest biblical truth? I'm sure that we would have probably a number of different answers. I'm so sure that any would be wrong, depending upon how you're looking at things. I certainly have my answer here. I'm going to give it in here in just a second. One of the greatest biblical truths, as I view it, is that God is love.

God is love. Let's take a look at 1 John 4. Now, as we heard in the first split, we want to make sure that we are anchored in God's Word. 1 John 4 and verse 16. 1 John 4, 16, and we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and He who abides in love abides in God, and God in Him.

So there is one of the great biblical truths. God is love. Now, if we were to take that and say, OK, now let's take this great biblical truth and put it into action, what verse might come to your mind? Again, there are probably any number of verses that might come to your mind about love in action. I selected John chapter 3 and verse 16. Let's take a look at John 3.16.

Do you know the Scripture I'm going to turn there? John chapter 3 and verse 16. Let's just read it here, then what I want to discuss for a moment. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Notice, God so loved. So loved. You know, there's the idea there is emphasis, intensity. God so loved. You know, if you go to somebody's home and they prepare a really nice meal for you, what do you normally say?

Thank you so much. That was so good. Right? God so loved the world. What did He do? He gave. He so loved that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Now, you talk about a God of love and great giving. This is truly great. In your notes, you might want to jot down Luke chapter 6 and verse 38.

Let me read that for you. Luke 6.38. Give and shall be given to you a good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over shall be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you. So here we are seeing more of God's view, His mind of giving. And if this is God's mind, this is something that God does, doesn't He? He gives good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over.

That's how God gives. Again, in your notes, 2 Corinthians 9.7. I'm not going to turn there. I'll read it for you. 2 Corinthians 9.7. So that each of you give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity, for God loves a cheerful giver. So God gives cheerfully. He gives abundantly. He gives life. He gave his son. And certainly gifts can enhance relationships. I would like you to turn to James 1. James 1 and verse 17.

James 1, 17. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. Notice every good and every perfect gift comes from God, a God who is love, a God who is a giver. Where is this leading us in the message I want to give you today? Well, today I want to take a look at the last four holy days in God's calendar.

Yes, I'll go over time a little bit today. But you know, when you think about God creating a physical universe, his design, his creation, his sustaining, giving life physically, but I'm thinking, brethren, that as God was designing his plan of salvation, he was joyous over what he was doing.

He was joyous over the fact of what he was giving as a gift of love to mankind. We know how mankind is all over the board today. Most people on this planet don't believe in the true God. And yet, God has plans for every individual who has ever lived. So today, my theme, if you're taking your notes, or taking notes, my theme is very simple. It's this. God's holy days are his loving gifts to mankind. God's holy days are his loving gifts to mankind. Now, we're just going to go through the last.

I started off by going with the weekly Sabbath, and then I thought, eh, it's not going to have time for all that. So we're just going to look at the starting with trumpets and moving forward from there. But think of it as God gave us this plan of salvation. In my mind, it's as if this great designer, this great creator, wrapped up these holy days in ribbons and bows and gave them to mankind.

Because each holy day represents a certain specific gift, at least in my mind. And then when you look even deeper into that gift, there is a bounty of gifts that God gives us with each of the holy days. Let's start with trumpets. Focusing on the fall holy days, trumpets. And overall, my thought here is God's loving gift of godly government. God's loving gift of godly government. We know that the Feast of Trumpets represents a dramatic turning point in human history. And boy, how we need that, correct?

How we need that. We live in the greatest, most powerful, most influential nation that has ever existed. That has ever existed. And yet, we lack dynamic leadership. We lack vision for moving forward as a people. Division is ripping apart our nation. And it's only going to get worse. You know, I remember years back, people who had never voted in their life said, Mr. De Los Andros, I've got to vote for this presidential election. It is so key. Brethren, let me tell you something. I firmly believe that every presidential election from here on out will be very important.

Does that mean I'm going to vote? No. My personal belief is that God is going to set up the president of this United States. Who he wants, that's God's business. And I don't want to be voting and doing something where I'm voting against what God wants. That's my simplistic view of things. But we, in this country, are ripping ourselves apart with division, bad government, disdain for godly principles, godly morals. And yet, here we have a holy day that pictures a loving gift of godly government. Let's look at Revelation 11.

Revelation 11. Revelation 11. Verse 15. Then a seventh angel sounded, and there was loud voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever. We couldn't hear better news than that. You couldn't have a better gift in terms of government than that. That Jesus Christ is coming to put down all these governments that have caused so much heartache and woe over the course of the last 6,000 years. Of all the prophecies in the Bible, this one surely heralds the most exciting news this world could ever receive.

Let's turn now to Isaiah 9. Isaiah 9. I covered this with you when we went through Isaiah 9, and then I think a week or two later. John May also covered this in great detail. And here we see, as the government of God is being established on trumpets, as Christ comes, a second coming, the saints are resurrected, and so on and so forth.

Within this holy day, we see a multitude of other gifts that God showers upon mankind. Isaiah 9, verse 6, For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and government will be upon his shoulder, and his name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, is of peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. Upon the throne of David and over his kingdom, to order it and establish it was judgment and justice, even from that time forward, even forever.

The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. Notice verse 7. This is not a passing fancy. This is something that takes place and goes on forward forever. Tremendous gifts that God gives to mankind. He is wonderful, as it says there. Strongs number 6382. He is wonderful. He performs wonders.

And all of that to benefit mankind. To give mankind the various gifts we're going to be looking at here is the sermon progressives. He's wonderful. He is a counselor. In your notes, you might jot down Isaiah chapter 25 and verse 1. I'll read that one for you. Isaiah 25 verse 1. O Lord, you are my God. I will exalt you. I will praise your name, for you have done wondrous things. Yeah, he's a God of wonders. You have done wondrous things. Your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth. Faithfulness and truth. These are precious gifts that we receive at the second coming of Jesus Christ. Faithfulness by the rule of God and the God family. Faithfulness and truth. In your notes, you can jot down Psalm 119 verse 24, where the Psalmist says, your testimonies are my counselors. Your testimonies. People will be looking into the scriptures, wanting to know what they say. And because, you know, there's coming a point—we've not gotten to that point in the plan of God—but there's coming a point when Satan is going to be bound. We'll see that in just a few moments. And people who are living into the millennium, they're going to have their hearts and their minds opened. Beautiful gifts that God offers to us. Again, in your notes, Romans chapter 8 and verse 14, where we are led by God's Spirit. What kind of a spirit is leading mankind today? It's a spirit of hatred, animosity, division, of destruction. It's a spirit that comes from Satan. He, again, looking at atonement, will be put away. But there's coming a time, starting with trumpets, starting with the second coming of Christ, where in the millennium we have a much different world.

Much different world. He is the everlasting Father, Christ.

Father in terms of through creation. You know, God the Father asked Christ to delegate the creation to Him. He did that. But also, in your notes, you might jot down Hebrews chapter 12 and verse 2, where it talks about Christ being the author and finisher of our faith.

So in that very real sense, He is a Father to us. He's the Prince of Peace. Christ's rule will be characterized by peace, restoration of peace, perpetuation of peace. I would like you to turn to Ephesians chapter 2. Ephesians chapter 2. Ephesians chapter 2 and verse 14.

Ephesians 2, 14. For He Himself is our peace. Christ is our peace, who has made both one and broken down the middle wall of separation. He wants mankind to be at one. He is the Prince who is peace, not just the Prince of Peace, the Prince who is peace.

But brethren, the gifts keep on coming. The gifts keep on coming. Let's turn to Daniel chapter 7.

Book of Daniel chapter 7. Again, we covered this when we went through that book. But these scriptures are so beautiful, so inspiring to my mind, hopefully to yours as well. Daniel chapter 7 verse 18. Daniel 7, 18. But the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom even for ever and ever. So here we see where the saints, God gifts humankind with the resurrected saints.

Now, maybe you never thought of yourself as very much of a present, but you will be. You know, right now for all of us, there are the little construction things all around us, the barrels. We are a work in progress, but there's coming a time when we are resurrected, when something else is said of us. Let's go to Galatians chapter 5. We do want to read this as well. Galatians chapter 5. And you know where I'm going. Galatians chapter 5. Right now the world is under the sway of verses 20 and 21.

They're being gifted by Satan for all these awful things. But notice now the resurrected saints, and we become to personification spiritually of what we read here. Galatians chapter 5 verse 22.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love. That's you as a resurrected spirit being. Love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. These are traits that you will be using as you help administer in the world tomorrow. Tremendous. You will be a tremendous gift to the people who are living in the millennium at that time. And then after that, the Great White Throne Judgment period. So, trumpets represents the loving gift of godly government. Moving on. Atonement. Atonement. The loving gift of universal reconciliation with god.

How beautiful. How beautiful. You know, I said, I think, last week or maybe the last time before that when I was speaking, it's not every time I pass by a cemetery, but so many times when I pass by a cemetery, I look at all those headstones. And probably like you, I've been in my share of cemeteries over the years, doing various funerals and seeing people I've known in the past who are now gone. And, you know, it was interesting. I was remembering what happened just a few months ago, actually a few weeks ago, I was visiting with my daughter, and I wanted to go see my my parents' grave site. And she actually goes there quite frequently. And it put me in mind of a funeral I went to a number of years ago, where I was there after the service. I was talking to various ones. I walked up to these three ladies, and they were talking among themselves. And I just introduced myself. Hello, my name is Randy Delisandro. And they looked at one another. They kind of giggled, and they looked at me, and they looked at each other. And I'm wondering, well, you know, do I have a big red nose on or what's going on here? And they said, oh, our maiden name is Delisandro.

I thought, oh, that's interesting. You know, I went to high school with four other Delisandros I was not related to. You know, some people think that that's such an unusual name. It's really not. Anyhow, we go to the grave site, and where we're going to where the person is being buried, it's only about 200 feet from where my parents were. And those three girls, when they walked past, they saw my mother and father's grave, Carmen and Rosalind Delisandro. They stayed there for a while, looking at that. But it was interesting that as we kept on walking toward where we are going to have the service, there were headstones, a little flat kind, that were overgrown with grass. And maybe there was just a little bit of it showing. So sad, because probably all the other people in that family had moved out away or perhaps had died. But some of those markers were all but covered up with grass, almost disappeared. And yet, when I go past the graveyard, I realize there's coming a day, again, looking forward to the last great day. I'm getting ahead of myself a little bit, but looking forward to the time when not just we who are the firstfruits receive reconciliation because of the Passover. There's coming a time when God gifts all mankind with being able to offer them, anyway, offer them the opportunity of reconciliation.

Such a tremendous gift. Let's take a look at 2 Corinthians chapter 4.

2 Corinthians chapter 4, verse 3 and 4. 2 Corinthians 4 verse 3 and 4. 2 Corinthians chapter 4. 4 But if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing.

Now Satan rejoices in this, doesn't he? 5 Whose minds the God of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is in the image of God, should shine on them.

So that's where the people are who have not been called at this point.

Satan has deceived the whole world.

The Day of Atonement symbolizes, though, when we move to a place where Satan is bound and mankind who have not been called have an opportunity.

Have an opportunity.

The Day of Atonement and Passover both teach us about forgiveness of sin and our reconciliation with God through Christ's sacrifice.

As I said, Passover, picture is what takes place for those who are the first-roots. But then, Atonement, we begin looking toward the future.

Looking toward the future.

Let's look now at Revelation chapter 20.

Revelation chapter 20.

Verses 1 through 3. Verses 1 through 3.

Here we see the removal of sin's primary cause, Satan and the demons.

Revelation chapter 20 verse 1. Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the heat of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who was the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years.

And he was cast into the bottomless pit and shut him up and set a seal on him, so he should deceive the nations no more till a thousand years were finished.

But after these things, he must be released for a little while.

What a tremendous gift that God gives to mankind.

That Satan and his demons, they are going to be put away all during the millennium. Again, after the millennium, there'll be a short time. We don't know how long that they're released.

We see some real heartache at that point for too many people on the face of the earth. But then we've got the last great day, which we'll be getting to in a little bit.

And he's not having any power then as well. So the Day of Atonement, picturing the loving gift of eternal—excuse me— loving gift of universal reconciliation with God.

Now we've got the feast. Feast of Tabernacles.

This is the loving gift of God's utopia on earth.

The loving gift of God's utopia on earth.

Won't those be joyous then? Now it's not going to just happen immediately, as we're all well aware. The earth is going to be a really foul place at the beginning of the millennium.

But, you know, mankind with God's help, with your help, as you counsel with mankind, as you use those fruits of the Spirit that are now so much a part of you as a Spirit being, you're going to be there to guide and to help. Let's go to Acts 3.

Acts 3, verses 19-21.

Acts 3, verse 19.

Repent therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that the times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, that he may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before, whom heavens must receive until the times of restoration.

So here we have the times of refreshing and the times of restoration.

Until the times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all of his holy prophets since the world began.

So we're looking forward to that time when this is taking place.

God's plan for mankind involves restoration.

The Feast of Tabernacles symbolizes the restoration process, which starts with the return of Christ at trumpets.

The banishment of Satan on the Day of Atonement.

Once those events have taken place, as represented by the Holy Days we just talked about, the foundation has been laid in place for the restoration, for the refreshing of all creation.

Isaiah chapter 2.

Isaiah chapter 2.

Hopefully somebody will be reading a good bit from Isaiah and the feast that you're going to.

I know I'll be quoting from it to some degree.

I'm sure others will. I feel kind of gypped if I go to the feast and I don't hear Isaiah.

Maybe that's just me, but there are certain things I expect when I go to God's Feast of Tabernacles and a good dosing of Isaiah as one of them.

Isaiah chapter 2 verse 2.

Now shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills, and nations shall flow to it.

You know, you're a well-schooled congregation. You understand what this verse is talking about.

God's government will be established over the top of all the governments of the earth, large or small, but notice, and the nations shall flow to it. What a tremendous gift!

People today want to say God's law is this awful, harsh thing, but in the world tomorrow, after they've gone through what we see for trumpets, and all the mass death, all the darkness, they realize, people come to realize when Satan is put away, that, wait a minute, that law is a beautiful gift of God. It's the royal law. It's the law of liberty. It's the law that sets us free from all the things that would hurt us.

It's holy, just, and good. It's spiritual. Nations will flow to this government to be taught that law.

Verse 3. Many people shall come and say, Come, let us go to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways. We will walk in his paths.

What paths? The paths of righteousness of God's law. We shall walk in his paths, for out of Zion shall go forth the law and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

Tremendous opportunity there. Tremendous gift-giving, as God showers mankind with all these beautiful gifts as portrayed in his holy days. Psalm 119. We were there not too long ago, earlier today. Let's go back to Psalm 119.

Verse 165.

Psalm 119. Verse 165. Verse 165.

Great peace have those who love your law, and nothing causes them to stumble.

What would the world today give for peace? Peace emotionally, peace mentally, peace of mind, physical peace. We're living in a dangerous age, and it's only worse.

And yet, in the world tomorrow, in the millennium, we've got the gift of peace at every level.

A tremendous gift that God gives to us. A tremendous gift.

Let's turn now to the book of Ezekiel, chapter 36.

Ezekiel 36. You know, God's people will come back out of the national slavery they've been put into.

Verse 24. Ezekiel 36, verse 24.

For I will take you from among the nations, gather you out of all countries, and bring you into your own land. Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean. I will cleanse you from all of your filthiness, from all of your idols. Verse 26. Ezekiel 36, 26.

I will give you a new heart, and put a new spirit within you.

I'll take the heart of stone out of your flesh, and give you a heart of flesh. I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and you will keep my judgments and do them. Such tremendous gifts. The gift of spiritual healing in the world tomorrow. The gift of spiritual healing.

What would the world give for a piece of that right now?

Isaiah 35. Let's go back to Isaiah. Isaiah 35.

Isaiah 35, verses 5 and 6.

Isaiah 35, verses 5 and 6. The eyes of the blind shall be opened.

The ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then the lame shall leap like a deer, and the tongue of the dumb sing, for the water shall burst forth from the wilderness and streams in a desert. A physical healing that takes place. A physical healing that takes place.

I'm sure that all of us, as we go visit friends or relatives who are not doing well, we look forward to the day when people are healed. I know every time I walk into a hospital, I go to an ICU ward or go into anoint somebody, I just wish that God would give me all the powers to walk through those halls and heal everybody.

But that's not God's plan right now. That's not God's desire right now. It wasn't... Jesus Christ didn't do that when He walked the earth. Didn't heal everybody. I'm sure as He was walking the highways and byways, He was passing plenty of people who had physical needs.

Wasn't the time for that at that point or at this point, but there's coming a time when these things are going to take place.

The eyes of the blind shall be opened physically. They'll be able to read the Bible, the scriptures, the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. They'll be able to hear the truth of God.

We take so much for granted. God gives us such a blessing. Right now, this is such a blessing that we can meet like this. Because as I said, there's coming a time, brethren, with the persecution at the end of the age, we would take our lives and our hands to meet this many people with our set of beliefs. We may well have to just meet a couple of families in our own homes.

And we are so blessed. And here is another blessing of physical healing. Isaiah chapter 9. Oh, I'm sorry. Amos chapter 9. Amos chapter 9.

Isaiah, Joel, and Amos.

Amos chapter 9. Verse 13. Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when the plowman shall overtake the reaper and the treader of grapes him who sows seed, the mountain shall drip with sweet wine, and all the hill shall flow with it. The healing, the gift of healing to the earth, to Mother Earth, producing so abundantly as we see right here in this beautiful Scripture.

So we see in the millennium, pictured by the Feast of Tabernacles, the gift of spiritual healing, the gift of physical healing, the gift of the earth being healed. All tremendous gifts that we can look forward to. So the Feast of Tabernacles shows the loving gift of God's utopia on earth.

Lastly, the last great day. You know, the Bible refers to it in Leviticus as the eighth day.

Certainly nothing wrong with referring to it as the day, the eighth day. But I've always had a certain love for calling it the last great day. Call me old-fashioned. But to me, that praisiology has such powerful meaning. The last great day. The loving gift of God's grace being made available to all. Those of you who are going to Pewaukee will hear me give a sermon on that topic much more than you'll get here on the last great day in Pewaukee. The last great day, the loving gift of God's grace being made available to all. Be made available. People can still reject, but it's going to be made available. Let's turn to a key scripture that, you know, we simply must discuss and we want to discuss on that day. Acts 4 and verse 12. Acts 4 and verse 12. Acts 4 and 12. Nor is there salvation in any other, talking about Christ's name, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. You know, the world thinks there's this tremendous struggle between Satan and God. Everyone's got to be converted in this age, or the age they were born, and yet when you look at it from that perspective, as you're well aware, God's not doing too well, right? We understand this verse in relation to the rest of Scripture.

The rest of Scripture. Now, this passage does raise some really troubling questions for those who believe that, you know, you've got to be saved in the age in which you were born, or else you're lost for all eternity. Well, how many people were born prior to Christ? Or how many people were living at the time of Christ in other parts of the world who couldn't have known about Christ? Are they condemned? Of course not. Let's turn to Ezekiel chapter 37. Powerful Scriptures here, Ezekiel 37.

Ezekiel 37 is 30 in verse 3. And he said to me, Son of man, can these bones live?

Well, all of science can't make them live, can they? Mankind can't make them live.

Son of man, can these bones live? So I answered, O Lord, you know.

Good answer. Again, he said to me, He prophesied to these bones and said to them, O dry bones, they're dry. They've been down there a long time. Probably turn to dust. Hear the word of the Lord. Thus as the Lord got to these bones, surely I will cause breath to enter into you. I will give these individuals back. They're going to rise out of their graves. God's going to give them the Spirit of man, cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live. I will put sinews on you. So we see this is a physical resurrection. I will put sinews. I'll put muscle on you, and flesh, bring flesh upon you, cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live. Then you shall know that I am the Lord. Powerful statement, right? They knew they died. Verse 7. But now they're alive. So I prophesied as I was commanded, and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and suddenly a rattling, and the bones came together, bone to bone. Tremendous things taking place here. Verse 11. Then he said to me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They indeed say, our bones are dry, our hope is lost, and we ourselves are cut off. And that truly is their spiritual state, as they thought of it. But God's about to reveal something so powerful here.

Verse 12. Therefore, prophecy and say to them, Thus says the Lord God, Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up from your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.

Then you shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up from your graves. Truly a dynamic statement. And just think about this from God's perspective. Our God who is love, our God who is all-inclusive, every human being who's ever lived, God has loved them tremendously. They died without hope.

And yet, God had something else in mind. Just as you pass through, but pass by, I pass by these graveyards. In my mind, so many times, as I said, I smile and think, you know, your best days are yet ahead. All those headstones, your best days are still ahead.

Verse 14. I will put my spirit in you. Not just the spirit and man, but God's going to give them the opportunity, the opportunity to have God's Holy Spirit. I'll put my spirit in you, and you shall live, and I'll place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken it, and performed it, says the Lord. The tremendous gift of God's mind being placed in these bones and that flesh that disintegrated. You know, there's the typology here, there's the vision of bones and so forth, but these bones probably long-sensed disintegrated.

Lost to mankind, not lost to God. We drop down to verse 26, same chapter, verse 26.

Moreover, I will make a covenant of peace with them, and I shall be an everlasting covenant with them. I will establish them and multiply them, and I will set my sanctuary in their midst forevermore. My tabernacles shall also be with them. Indeed, I will be their God, and they shall be my people, the gift of a new covenant being made with these people. Tremendous gifts. So, the last great day, the loving gift of God's grace being made available to all mankind.

So, brethren, today we've seen that one of the greatest truths of the Bible is that God is love.

We've seen one of the greatest biblical truths in action is that God expresses that love through giving. And the theme for today's message was that God's holy days are His loving gift to mankind. Trumpets. The loving gift of godly government. Atonement. The loving gift of universal reconciliation with God. Or that possibility. The Feast of Tabernacles. The loving gift of God's utopia on earth. And the last great day, the loving gift of God's grace being made available to all.

Brethren, Mary and I will be over in Beloit for atonement. This is my last opportunity to address you. Have a really great feast. It's going to have a different feel to it. It's going to have a different look to it. You know, those of us who are going to be walking, it's going to be interesting to see a whole room full of people with masks on. You know, normally when a pastor sees that, he wants to run. You know, keep the car running at the side door. They've got masks on. You're not so much afraid when people leave. You're afraid when they rise up and come at you. But I'm sure that won't happen in Piwaki. Mr. Duran and Mrs. Duran are planning a wonderful feast for us. But have a deeply meaningful, have a safe Feast of Tabernacles. Stay healthy! Because I very much want to be back here after the feast, after the last great day, and just enjoy you as a congregation. So have a great feast!
