1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,000 Welcome to Healing Scars with Pastor Burton. Here you'll find practical, relevant, biblical information. 2 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:19,000 The Bible will be broken down verse by verse so that you get the full context of the scripture to better grow in your relationship with Jesus. 3 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:26,000 Hey everybody, welcome to the Sanctuary. It's great to have you with us as always. 4 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:34,000 Now, this week is a big week for believers. It's Holy Week. Holy Week is in full swing and Easter is this weekend. 5 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:42,000 And let me tell you, in the world of Christianity, Easter is the second biggest day of the year for church services around the world. 6 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:48,000 Christmas, of course, being the first. You know, where Christmas is our Super Bowl, Easter has to be like our World Series, right? 7 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:54,000 That might be a little harsh of a comparison, but that's really how it falls. You know, it's a big deal. 8 00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:03,000 However, let's make sure that our children know that it's not about the bunny, you know, the little make-believe bunny and all that that's out there, 9 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:08,000 or the eggs or any of that kind of stuff. I mean, go out, have fun, have your barbecues, all that good stuff. 10 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:15,000 But make sure everybody you know knows that Easter is about Christ and the fact that He is risen. 11 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:23,000 Now, for the most part, this time of year, most services spend the week looking over the same scriptures, all right? 12 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:30,000 From Jesus riding on a donkey to palm leaves being laid out, His crucifixion and then rising again, right? 13 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:38,000 All very good things. There's nothing wrong with it. I mean, after all, I mean, that is Holy Week, you know, that final week of His life 14 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:50,000 up to the cross and then, of course, His death and then rising again. However, did you know that all of these things were prophesied in advance? 15 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:57,000 Now, I'm sure many of you did. I also know that there are some out there who may have heard about it, but didn't know. 16 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:03,000 And here's the thing. The Old Testament predicted what was going to happen in several places. 17 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:12,000 The New Testament points to the fulfillment of those prophecies, all right? Those that have been fulfilled and a great many have. 18 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:23,000 And then, of course, there's that smaller percentage that have yet to be and will be the closer we get to the return of Christ. 19 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:36,000 All right. In the book of Zechariah 9, chapter 9, verse 9, the Bible says, Rejoice greatly, daughter Zion, shout, daughter Jerusalem, 20 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:46,000 see your king comes to you, righteous and victorious, lowly and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the fowl of a donkey. 21 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:56,000 So with this, we knew how he would come riding a donkey instead of a horse, humbling himself before the people from the very start. 22 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:03,000 All right. You know, the people, they knew who Jesus was, they knew what he was about. They recognized him as the coming king. 23 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:09,000 That's why in John, chapter 12, verses 12 through 13, the Bible tells us the next day, 24 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:18,000 the great crowd that had come for the festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. 25 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:25,000 They took up palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, Hosanna, blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. 26 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:34,000 Blessed is the king of Israel. When a king and certain other V.A.P.s would return from like, you know, generals and that sort of stuff, you know, 27 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:40,000 when these people, they would return from war victorious, they would ride in on their horses to a lot of fanfare. 28 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:45,000 OK, people would lay out palm leaves and branches and put clothing on the ground. 29 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:52,000 It was very much like, you know, today's rolling out the red carpet for, you know, V.A.P.s and stuff. Right. 30 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:58,000 You know, and, you know, while while they would turn on him faster than they greeted him, the people knew he was the Messiah. 31 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:05,000 They just didn't know that the freedom he brought was different than what they thought it would be. 32 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:12,000 OK, you know, all of this was foretold in the Old Testament, starting all the way at the beginning. 33 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:18,000 All right. You know, now, don't you just love how every book in the Bible points to Jesus? 34 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:24,000 And yes, the Easter story could be found starting all the way back at the beginning. 35 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:29,000 All right. Now, we're not going to go through everything in the Old Testament or anything that's pointing to what's going on, 36 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:35,000 but we're going to hit some key key parts and this right here, this key section as well. 37 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:45,000 So today I'm going to ask you to join me in Genesis, Chapter 22. All right. So Genesis 22. 38 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,000 And we're going to start at the very beginning here, verses one through five. 39 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:57,000 The Bible says sometime later, God tested Abraham and he said, Abraham, here I am, he replied. 40 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:09,000 Then God said, Take your son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac, and go to the region of Moriah. 41 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:15,000 Sacrifice him there is a burnt offering on a mountain. I will show you. 42 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:20,000 Early the next morning, Abraham got up and loaded his donkey. 43 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:27,000 He took him with him. Sorry. He took with him two of his servants and his son, Isaac. 44 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:36,000 When he had cut enough wood for the burnt offering, he set out for the place God had told him about. 45 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:42,000 On the third day, Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance. 46 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:49,000 He said to his servants, stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there. 47 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,000 We will worship and then we will come back to you. 48 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,000 So already this is already looking quite grim, isn't it? 49 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:02,000 You know, as a parent, I know the first thing that comes to mind is you want what? 50 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,000 What? Are you kidding me? 51 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,000 You know, this is one of those moments where most of us would fail. 52 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,000 It goes against everything in a parent's heart. 53 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,000 Needless to say, this is a horrible, horrible moment for Abraham. 54 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:18,000 Really, this is the same thing that God was going through with his own son. 55 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,000 Notice the parallels as we continue. 56 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:32,000 Now, as we know, Abraham didn't know that he was being tested. 57 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:36,000 We knew he was being tested. He didn't know he was being tested. 58 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,000 As I said, as a parent or anyone really being asked to kill someone that they love deeply, 59 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,000 this is a failure point. 60 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,000 This is that Achilles heel, if you would. 61 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,000 God wasn't trying to trip him up. 62 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,000 However, he was testing him. 63 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,000 He was testing his obedience to him. 64 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:58,000 At the same time, he was at work building him up even though he didn't know it. 65 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,000 That's something that we all need to keep in mind. 66 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,000 God will often put us in places we don't want to be in in order to work on us. 67 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,000 He will test us. 68 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:17,000 He does this so that we can see our own weaknesses and know where we need to turn to him for our strength. 69 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,000 Let's face it. 70 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:25,000 Giving up things that we really love can be really hard, even if it's for God. 71 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,000 Fasting is a great example. 72 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,000 People are like, I'm going to fast from this. 73 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,000 They're like, okay, this is tough. I'm not doing that. Never mind. 74 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:38,000 But here Abraham is being asked to give up his son, which is way, way harder. 75 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:43,000 When God tells us to do something, though, we need to do it. 76 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,000 We need to do it and we can do it a couple of ways. 77 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,000 We could do it while we're moaning and complaining, 78 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:56,000 or we can get the task and see how God is molding us. 79 00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:02,000 Really, knowing how hard this is, we could say it's very likely. 80 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:07,000 This is probably the greatest act of obedience to God in the history of man. 81 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:11,000 He loaded his donkey with what was needed and left with his son and servants. 82 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:15,000 It sounds an awful lot like Jesus entering on the donkey, right? 83 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,000 Jesus took what he needed. 84 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:25,000 He had his cadre in tow coming behind him and everything when he entered Jerusalem. 85 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:30,000 Like I said, there's going to be lots of parallels here that you're going to catch. 86 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:35,000 They traveled over 50 miles to Mount Moriah. 87 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:41,000 It's documented from where he was. It's probably about 50 to 60 miles to Mount Moriah. 88 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:45,000 We're not talking about the leisurely drive that we enjoy today. 89 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:50,000 This was a long, tough trip, even without thinking of what's to come. 90 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:57,000 They have a donkey. Maybe they had some other livestock with them to ride or whatever. 91 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,000 They're probably walking. 92 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:07,000 Even with that, if you've ever ridden a horseback or anything like that, it's not the easiest. 93 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:15,000 It took them a few days to get there even. 94 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:21,000 With this long trip, it wasn't a leisurely drive. It was tough. 95 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:27,000 You take into account that's just a travel. That's not even thinking about what lies ahead, what's going to come. 96 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:32,000 It's during these times of hardship that these are times that remind us that we need to pray. 97 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:36,000 We need to talk to God more. We need to look to him for our strength. 98 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:42,000 We need to look to him for comfort and all the other stuff that we need from him as our provider. 99 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:47,000 The Bible says he will meet our needs. 100 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:53,000 In addition to all that, think of the torment in God's own heart and his own mind 101 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,000 as he watched Jesus moving closer and closer to the cross. 102 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:06,000 Everything that he was going to go through, especially when it came down to those final hours. 103 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,000 Not much like Abraham here. 104 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:13,000 Picking back up in Genesis 22, we're going to look at verses 6 through 8 now. 105 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:19,000 The Bible says, Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac. 106 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,000 And he himself carried the fire and the knife. 107 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:29,000 As the two of them went on together, Isaac spoke up and said to his father, Abraham, 108 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:36,000 Father, yes, my son Abraham, replied, the fire and water here, Isaac said. 109 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:40,000 But where is the lamb for the burnt offering? 110 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:46,000 Abraham answered, God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son. 111 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:50,000 And the two of them went on together. 112 00:10:50,000 --> 00:11:00,000 Isaac carried the wood for the offering, much like Jesus carried the cross. 113 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:04,000 Isaac asked about the lamb. Now, who is the lamb? 114 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:10,000 Well, Jesus is. Jesus is the sacrifice for our sin, the blood payment for our freedom. 115 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:17,000 And the promise from the Father of our place with him when we follow the Son. 116 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:26,000 Now, animals were a very common sacrifice that God accepted to be held in place of a person, 117 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:30,000 to atone for their sin and to help them to grow closer to God. 118 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:34,000 Now, you know, this wasn't a small act either. 119 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:40,000 You know, it was a type of contract of the day that was laid out for everyone to see. 120 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:44,000 As we can see in Genesis, Chapter 15, verses 10, the Bible says, 121 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:51,000 Abraham brought all these to him, cut them in two and arranged the halves opposite of each other. 122 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:58,000 See, the animal would be killed and then basically torn apart or cut apart, right? 123 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:05,000 And separated. And the parties would basically walk around and then walk through the halves 124 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:14,000 as a visual proclamation that if they didn't honor their word, then they should be killed like this animal. 125 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,000 So that in itself, it shows how serious these things were. 126 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:23,000 The sacrifice of the blood and the animal used to purify and atone for the sin of the person. 127 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:29,000 This is a big deal. And look at what happened to Jesus. Jesus, the Lamb of God. 128 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:35,000 He was beaten. His flesh was torn to the point of barely being recognizable as a person. 129 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:43,000 This is a beating that many a person wouldn't have been able to endure, let alone survived. 130 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:54,000 On top of that, he was humiliated and then forced to walk while carrying his own cross. 131 00:12:54,000 --> 00:13:01,000 He was beaten to that point of... you couldn't even recognize him as him. 132 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,000 He could barely be recognized as a human. 133 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:09,000 And then on top of all that pain, he's having to enjoy the pain of carrying his own cross, which let's face it, 134 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:16,000 this is no little light thing. This wasn't a tinker toy. This was some big hunks of wood that were put together 135 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:22,000 in order to support the body of a human after it was nailed to it. 136 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,000 So we're talking some weight. 137 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:32,000 The question remains though, why would God ask Abraham to sacrifice his only son, 138 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:39,000 especially when animals were so commonly accepted as a sacrifice in their place? 139 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:48,000 Well, it was because God wanted Abraham to kill Isaac in his own heart to show that he loved God more. 140 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:55,000 Now, God, he didn't want Isaac to die, but he wanted it to be clear for Abraham 141 00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:00,000 and really for all of us that we need to love God more than anything or anyone. 142 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,000 God needs to be our first love. 143 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:08,000 And that's the test that Abraham was enduring. 144 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:14,000 Now, let's go back to our reading in Genesis 22, verses 9 through 11. 145 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,000 So verses 9 through 11, the Bible says, 146 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:23,000 When they reached the place God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it. 147 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:27,000 He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar on top of the wood. 148 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:31,000 Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. 149 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:35,000 But the angel of the Lord called out to him from heaven, 150 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:42,000 Abraham, Abraham, here I am, he replied. 151 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,000 It's that intense moment in the movie, right? 152 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,000 You got that serious music playing in the background. 153 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:52,000 It's getting louder and louder. 154 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,000 The thing is, this is reality. 155 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:58,000 Abraham, he built an altar and altar was erected. 156 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,000 Isaac was basically he was arranged on the wood and he was bound. 157 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:06,000 Now, in this case, most likely it was just tied. 158 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:14,000 Jesus, he was forced to go to the place of his sacrifice and then arranged on some wood, 159 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,000 which was the cross he carried. 160 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,000 And then he was bound to it as well. 161 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:26,000 He was bound to it by nails, sacrifice for us, a bittersweet moment, both for Jesus and for God. 162 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,000 Both knew what was coming. 163 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,000 Both knew what the outcome would be. 164 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:36,000 But they also had to endure the horror of it. 165 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:40,000 Things change here for Abraham and Isaac when the angel of the Lord calls out. 166 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:46,000 But at that crucial moment, right before the knife comes down. 167 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:47,000 Let's see what happens. 168 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,000 So verses 12 through 14, the Bible says, 169 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:23,000 So Abraham called that place, the Lord will provide. 170 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:32,000 And to this day, it is said on the mountain of the Lord, it will be provided. 171 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:36,000 The moment of truth for Abraham and for us all, God asked for so little. 172 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:41,000 Yet his promise to us is that if we are obedient and we trust in him, 173 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:47,000 that his blessings will outweigh any sacrifice that we make. 174 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:51,000 Our treasures, of course, are stored up in heaven. 175 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:58,000 The Bible tells us that here, Abraham's test is finished and his son is spared. 176 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:02,000 In his place, a sacrifice is found, the ram. 177 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:07,000 And Abraham recognized it as the Lord's provision. 178 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:11,000 The sacrifice that was made on Mount Moriah, the ram, a male sheep, 179 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,000 telling us of Jesus in advance. 180 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:18,000 Isaiah 53 verses 5 through 6, the Bible says, 181 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:22,000 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our inequities. 182 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:28,000 The punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. 183 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,000 We all, like sheep, have gone astray. 184 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:36,000 Each of us has turned to our own way, and the Lord has laid on him the inequity of us all. 185 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:41,000 The sacrifice for us all. 186 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,000 And let me tell you the significance of Mount Moriah. 187 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:49,000 You notice here, right there towards the end of that scripture, 188 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:54,000 it went into detail, the mountain of the Lord, it will be provided. 189 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:59,000 Now, Mount Moriah overlooks Jerusalem. 190 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:03,000 And this is an area that, of course, even in the Bible and without the Bible, 191 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:08,000 history even, tells us this area that's been conquered several times and renamed. 192 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:15,000 Eventually, it was renamed from Mount Moriah to Golgotha, meaning the skull, 193 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:26,000 which, some of you may be aware, was translated to a name that many of us know today as Calvary. 194 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:34,000 That's right, this took place in the same place where Jesus died, in our place. 195 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:40,000 The sacrifice and blood for our sin. 196 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:50,000 The price paid in full for what we all deserve. 197 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,000 So back to our reading in Genesis 22. 198 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,000 Verses 15 through 19, the Bible says, 199 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:48,000 The obedience here, the obedience of Abraham was tremendous. 200 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:54,000 The obedience that's often overlooked here, though, is also on the part of Isaac. 201 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:58,000 See, there was a point here where he realized that he was supposed to be the sacrifice, 202 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:02,000 and he could have fought, he could have run away, he could have done a lot of things, and let's face it, 203 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:07,000 in the face of death, fight or flight is a very real thing, 204 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:13,000 and he fought the temptation to run or to fight his father and remained obedient, 205 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:19,000 which of course the Bible tells us to, and trusted in what the Lord had planned. 206 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:25,000 Both Abraham and Isaac were rewarded greatly for their obedience. 207 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,000 They were promised that they'd be able to defeat their enemies, 208 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:36,000 and that the world over would be affected by knowing of their faith in the Lord. 209 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:40,000 We're talking about blessing that blesses everyone, right? 210 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:46,000 And this is another case here in the Bible where the Bible is showing that what God blesses us with, 211 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:52,000 we're supposed to take that blessing and use it to bless others. 212 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,000 With that said, that leads us back to Christ. 213 00:20:55,000 --> 00:21:00,000 Turning to the book of Hosea, chapter 6, 214 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:05,000 which was written approximately 700 years before Christ. 215 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:10,000 Hosea 6, verses 2 through 3, the Bible says, 216 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:41,000 On the day Jesus was killed, Friday, and the following day, 217 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,000 he atoned for our sins, he reconciled us with the Father, 218 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:48,000 and on the third day, Easter Sunday, he rose from the grave, 219 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:53,000 conquering death, and fulfilled prophecy. 220 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:57,000 He fulfilled it! 221 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:04,000 We can rejoice in the fact that we have a risen, living Savior in Jesus Christ, 222 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:08,000 and we didn't ask for much. 223 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:14,000 He simply asked that we be obedient, and we trust in him. 224 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:22,000 A living sacrifice made in love, the ultimate showing of how much God loves each and every one of us, 225 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:27,000 regardless of what we have done. 226 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:32,000 If you haven't accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior in your heart, 227 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:37,000 now is the time. 228 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,000 Remember, you are loved and you are blessed. 229 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,000 Now go be the church. 230 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:48,000 Thank you all for joining us here today at Healing Scars with Pastor Burton. 231 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:55,000
