1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000 Phones or whatever. This is my Bible. It's the word of truth. I am what it says I am. 2 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:15,120 I can do what it says I can. I'm a believer and not a doubter. I'm a doer and not just a 3 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:21,120 hearer. I am humble for the Lord. I'm obedient to the Lord. I am mature in the 4 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:26,040 Lord. I'm enthusiastic about the Lord. Say that one again. I'm enthusiastic about 5 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,500 the Lord. If you didn't bring no enthusiasm, you're gonna be able to go 6 00:00:29,500 --> 00:00:33,960 where I'm trying to get you to go today. So I'm enthusiastic about the Lord. Say it 7 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:41,920 like you got some enthusiasm. I'm enthusiastic. Amen. I know that faith 8 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:49,840 coming by here and hearing by the Word of God. Amen. In the Bible in Matthew chapter 9 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:54,080 21 verse 9 you'll find these words said then the multitude somebody say 10 00:00:54,080 --> 00:01:03,740 multitude. Lot of folk. We ain't got quite. We got enough to let the heavens 11 00:01:03,740 --> 00:01:06,520 and the angels in heaven know that something's happening here in earth. 12 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:12,360 Amen. So I said then the multitudes who went before before and those who 13 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:17,520 followed cried out saying Hosanna. Somebody say Hosanna. Somebody say 14 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:23,060 Hosanna again. Sayin' Hosanna son of David. Blessed is he who come in the name 15 00:01:23,060 --> 00:01:31,580 of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest. Amen. You may be seated. Well today on this 16 00:01:31,580 --> 00:01:38,120 Palm Sunday we want to speak from this thought simply Hosanna. Somebody shout 17 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:44,120 Hosanna. Now Hosanna is the Greek transliteration of the Hebrew 18 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:49,880 Aramaic word Hoshinah which is you know a little bit difficult because we don't 19 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:54,320 often use the Aramaic or Hebrew when we talk from the Bible. We normally use a 20 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:59,760 Greek transliteration and so therefore we say Hosanna and it was the 21 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:05,040 cry that the people cried out to Jesus when when he came into Jerusalem on the 22 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:09,480 Palm what we consider Palm Sunday and what is considered as Brother Cliff is 23 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:14,760 already said his triumphal entry. So the mind said that we're trying to set 24 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:20,240 today today is that you got to really have it in your heart that you believe 25 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:25,480 that Jesus had already entered into your life and because your heart is 26 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:31,680 connected with it I want to see you praise him at a whole different level. 27 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:36,840 I want you to apply to your best of your ability what you thought these folks 28 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:46,640 was doing in Jerusalem. Amen. Now y'all saying amen but like I say we're gonna 29 00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:53,320 be some participators here in a minute. So now this was all happening the week 30 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:58,000 before his crucifixion so this is a very important week in the Christian faith 31 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,840 you know passing week Jesus did a lot of things during his week but then the 32 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:08,000 culmination is in his crucifixion and the resurrection. Now Hosanna is best 33 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:15,760 translated as a prayer of praise and adoration which says save now somebody 34 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:24,680 shout save now. I didn't say save now I said shout save now. So it's a different 35 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:31,080 they made it now let's do that in unison. Save now. That's a whole different sound 36 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:40,960 than just said save now. In the Bible it got an exclamation point behind it. So now 37 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:48,560 save now in other words save us Lord we beg you to keep us and to preserve us. 38 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:53,960 It is taken from Psalms 118 which has a whole or the declaration of confidence 39 00:03:53,960 --> 00:04:00,600 in the Lord's ability to save for his salvation. In other words it was made 40 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:05,360 when they was believing that they was worshiping and serving someone who could 41 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:11,120 truly deliver them from whatever they was going through. So in in 25 and 26 of 42 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:18,240 Psalm 118 you find these words it says save now I pray oh Lord oh Lord I pray 43 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:25,080 send now prosperity. In other words they were saying God we want to be successful 44 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:32,720 in whatever we do. God has no problem with you being successful and in fact you 45 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:37,280 ought to be successful in anything you do. The thing is you can't let your 46 00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:42,560 success or the results of your success become your God. So therefore a lot of 47 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:47,400 time we hear prosperity the first thing we think of is money but the Bible is a 48 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:52,320 lot deeper than just your finances. I mean your prosperity I mean you ought to 49 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,680 be successful in your job you ought to be successful in your marriage you ought 50 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,160 to be successful in your health in every aspect of your life you ought to say 51 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:06,360 God allow me to be prosperous. I want to be prosperous in my peace. I want to 52 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,080 have a level of peace of mind that I know that you're involved with my life 53 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:15,680 and therefore God I can be prosperous I can be successful. And then look what he 54 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:21,000 says he says in verse 20 blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Then 55 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:29,680 he says we somebody said we we have blessed you from the house of the Lord. 56 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:37,400 Now today we consider the church where you are the house of the so now if that 57 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:44,880 is true then we have to bless him from the house. You in the house so it's time 58 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:49,160 for you to give him a little blessing and the way you bless him in the house is 59 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:54,240 to give him praise. So let's take you about 30 seconds, stand on your feet and 60 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:58,160 let's just take a praise break. However you feel like the Lord wants you to 61 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:04,440 praise him with your palm in your hand give the Lord your best praise. Give him 62 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:10,400 what you think he deserves because this is his house we come to lift him up we 63 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:15,120 come to magnify him. You got to see that this is what the people of Jerusalem 64 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:19,640 were going through when they were trying to praise their Lord. They were 65 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:26,600 trying to exalt him. They saw who he was and they wanted to acknowledge that. 66 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:32,120 Some of them went so far they took off their clothes and laid them down before 67 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:36,440 him. I'm not gonna ask you to do that today but look here I will say wave your 68 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:42,840 palm. Let the Lord know that you love him. Let the Lord know that you adore him. 69 00:06:42,840 --> 00:06:51,400 Hallelujah! Hallelujah. You may be seated. You may be seated. That's just the 70 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:56,280 first one. We're gonna get better. Somebody say better. We're gonna get better. 71 00:06:56,280 --> 00:07:02,640 Now that you have seen the end game now we got a real act like we won the game. 72 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:07,440 They have a different celebration. You know even though I was pulling for 73 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:16,000 South Carolina the other night that was a different celebration in our because 74 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:24,480 even though it was a good game only one team celebrate. Celebration has the 75 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,880 context of winning something and unless you don't you feel like you don't want 76 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:34,000 something you won't celebrate. So what I'm trying to get you to believe today is 77 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,680 that you are a group of winners and I need for you to carry yourself and act 78 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:43,680 like you're winners and not losers because there's been too much pay for 79 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:52,400 you to sell. So the residents of Jerusalem met Jesus carrying palm branches and 80 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:58,480 held him as the one who came in the name of the Lord. They included in their 81 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:04,600 acclamation a plea for salvation. Waving the palm branches was a general 82 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:13,000 expression of jubilation, a shout in triumph. And so now Jesus entered as their 83 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:19,320 Messiah and their victorious King and that was represented in prophecy when 84 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:26,600 they were living out what was prophesied in Zachariah chapter 9 verse 9. It says to 85 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:31,160 them rejoice. Somebody say rejoice. Normally whenever the Bible tell us to 86 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:35,840 rejoice it comes with shout. Tell us to be happy about something. It tells us to 87 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:41,960 act like God has done something for us. It says rejoice O people of Zion. Somebody 88 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:48,600 say shout. It says shout in triumph O people of Jerusalem. Well we ain't in 89 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:55,600 Jerusalem right now. So I ain't talking to the people of Jerusalem, Cliff. I'm talking to the people that didn't strive. 90 00:08:55,600 --> 00:09:01,280 So when I read this it says shout. Somebody say shout. O people of 91 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:05,920 striving. So right now I just want let's take another shout break. Can we do that 92 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,320 right now now that you know the Bible say this don't just supply the Jerusalem 93 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,880 this supply the striving. Can we just you know this is you know pop Sunday will 94 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,320 come once a year and you know we don't do this every Sunday but maybe we all 95 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:22,000 too. Maybe we all too. Maybe there ought to be a time when we praise God in a way 96 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,320 that we don't normally praise him on Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday but 97 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,480 we ought to have enough revamp that God we don't save up some for you on 98 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:33,240 Sunday. We don't shout about some minor thing but today we realized that we 99 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:37,880 have the victory and therefore we want to declare victory because of you not 100 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:42,120 because of anything we have done but because of what you have done. God you've 101 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:47,640 gave us the victory so we shout hallelujah. We wave our palms and hallelujah. 102 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:55,600 Hallelujah. Glory to your name God. Y'all maybe see that. That's number two. 103 00:09:55,600 --> 00:10:02,840 That was all right but that wasn't jubilation. He says O people of 104 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:10,000 Jerusalem. He says look your king is coming. He is righteous and victorious. 105 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:15,680 I mean he gonna do things right. He gonna act in a cause with the Lord but not 106 00:10:15,680 --> 00:10:26,320 only that he is victorious. He's a winner but yet he is humble. Riding on a 107 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:33,960 donkey. Riding on the donkey's coat. In other words normally winners kings did 108 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:39,320 of those who had won battle they came in town riding on stadiums or horses. It's 109 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,920 the first time we're gonna see today in a minute that is recorded where Jesus 110 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:48,760 wrote something and he wrote on a donkey's coat which is a baby donkey. I'm 111 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,640 gonna call it for that because it's a better term because some Bible's called 112 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:55,400 them something other than a coat but you know it was a donkey's coat not a bad 113 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,360 term but just a donkey's coat so that means that the coat had never been 114 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:05,800 ridden on before. It was a coat that was worthy to be used to celebrate our Lord 115 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:12,080 and Savior Jesus Christ. So this prophecy was fulfilled when Jesus 116 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:18,680 rode into Jerusalem in what we call traditionally Palm Sunday. 117 00:11:18,680 --> 00:11:24,800 Now when I did my study palms were the only type branches that they was waving. 118 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,720 They were waving a whole lot of other branches. In fact the study don't say 119 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:32,280 they even call them palm. They just say various branches but not only that it 120 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:38,240 said that it was a symbol of majesty to take off a garment and lay it before 121 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:43,160 your king. And so these people waving their palm and it was taking off out of 122 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:50,320 garments and laying them before their king. So therefore the next time we get 123 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:56,120 to this point I got to get some jubilation. Y'all just acting like 124 00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:02,840 somebody see y'all on TV that you in the stadium and the camera on all of a 125 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:07,880 sudden hit you with your T. Then got that you know I'm pretty sure if you were the 126 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:12,320 fan of whoever that hit that last shot last night with seconds on the clock if 127 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:20,000 you know if you was a fan of that team when that shot went in somehow 128 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,760 jubilation would just fall all over you. You know you might have would have jumped 129 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:33,800 out of them seats. And see I want to use that practical example to get you to jump 130 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:42,520 at your seat for the law because he doesn't hit more than two points for you. 131 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:53,240 And there been a three-pointer. But Jesus got to be better than three points. 132 00:12:53,240 --> 00:13:06,600 He got to be better than three points. So this was a command for the people to 133 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:14,280 rejoice and shout because the king had come. Jesus was the righteous. Jesus was 134 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,720 righteous in all that he did and his purpose for coming was to bring 135 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:24,560 salvation to those who put their trust in him. At this coming Jesus did not bring 136 00:13:24,560 --> 00:13:32,280 judgment but he brought grace and forgiveness. See the Bible says but God 137 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:38,160 did not send his son into the world to condemn the world. That's coming later. 138 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:45,120 This time it wasn't about condemnation but that the world through him might be 139 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:50,920 saved. Amen. Somebody shout Hosanna. Somebody shout Hosanna again. Now if we 140 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:55,880 go back to our text in Matthew chapter 21 I'm going to take a closer look at it 141 00:13:55,880 --> 00:14:00,920 and see how Matthew recorded this celebration that we are about to have. 142 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:05,360 Amen. But I want to start at verse one and then we'll get to the high point to 143 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:09,280 just kind of bring you up to how all this played out. And there are a couple 144 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:14,280 things that I think we can learn from what went on before the celebration when 145 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:19,520 Jesus gave his disciples instructions to go and get the donkey at the 146 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:24,240 donkey's coat that he would ride in on. It says now look in verse one and verse 147 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:28,920 two it says this and I want you to see divine instruction. It says now when they 148 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:33,280 drew near Jerusalem and came to Beth Pays at the Mount of Olives it was called 149 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,200 the Mount of Olives because there was a lot of olive trees over there. Olive was one 150 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:40,640 of the primary things of fruits of vegetation I don't know if it was the 151 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:44,080 fruit of whatever but it was the primary thing that was used during that 152 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:49,200 time and olives was very expensive and because a lot of things was created from 153 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:53,480 the olive but what we see is that it was there was near the Mount of Olives 154 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:59,080 which was on the outskirts of Jerusalem. Jesus now calls two of his disciples. The 155 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:03,320 Bible don't say which two. Some people speculate you know he did have an inner 156 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:07,360 circle. It may have been two of the three that he normally ran with but since the 157 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:11,800 Bible didn't identify we just gonna say it could have been any two of you that the 158 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:17,240 Lord has called and he's sending you on an assignment and when he's sending you 159 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:22,240 on that assignment he's giving you specific instruction of what you need 160 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:27,120 to do. All of you got to see yourself as being assigned to do something in God's 161 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:33,040 kingdom and when he assign you to do it it's gonna be clear to you what you need 162 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:38,880 to do. God and the Lord is not gonna assign you something and make it a mystery 163 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:44,720 that you can't figure out and somebody else got to interpret for you. It's okay 164 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:49,320 if someone come alongside and confirm what the Lord has said to you but if he 165 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:54,880 want you to do something he's bold enough to tell you himself. So he now he gave 166 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:59,440 two of his disciples some instructor saying go somebody say go. The command 167 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:04,120 go mean you got to get up and do something. Amen. I mean we come here to 168 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:09,400 learn but we need to go and do what we've learned. Amen. He says now go into the 169 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:16,760 village opposite you and immediately you will find a donkey tired and with a 170 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:25,680 coat with her. Loose them and bring them to me. Clear instruction. Jesus had a 171 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:30,120 ability to see things that everybody else could not see. So spiritually he knew 172 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:34,680 exactly what the situation looked like. A lot of time when things come out like 173 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:41,360 God already know what the situation looked like. We just need to trust him 174 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:45,600 because we don't see it right now and that's what faith comes in there. 175 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:51,400 Sometimes God see things that you don't see but he don't have a problem giving 176 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:58,560 you instruction that you need so that you can see what he sees and if you're 177 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:03,960 going to be successful you're going to have to learn to see some things that in 178 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:08,640 your mind that you can't see in your natural with your natural eyes and then 179 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:14,400 you got to walk by faith and trust God for the outcome because the more you 180 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:19,560 walk the more you will if they had stood right there they would never saw the 181 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:23,080 darkest. They had to believe that hey that was some 182 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:28,520 darkness waiting on us when we get there. It would have been easy. Well show me the 183 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:35,160 Duncan before I start walking. Now you got your instructions. You start walking 184 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:40,080 and then the Duncan's gonna show up. He said now and when you get there in verse 185 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:47,600 three if anyone say anything to you you shall say somebody say the Lord. You 186 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:56,120 shall say the Lord has need of them and immediately he will send them. Now the 187 00:17:56,120 --> 00:18:02,840 Lord was a term that signified that someone with authority was asking for 188 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:07,760 something. The Greek terminology is curios which means someone in supreme 189 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:19,960 power. So now get this. The Lord has need of you. See it's easy to make him 190 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:27,320 savior because we all want to be saved from our sin but the hard test is are 191 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:35,280 you gonna make him. Is he gonna be the supreme being in your life. Is he gonna 192 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:43,960 be the one that when he give you instruction you follow them. So he says 193 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:48,120 the Lord has need of them and immediately he will send them. Now look at 194 00:18:48,120 --> 00:18:52,720 this. We see Jesus royalty couple with humility in verse four and five. He says 195 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:56,800 all this were done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet. 196 00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,800 We read that earlier but they're gonna come back here now and again scripture 197 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:06,080 support itself. What is said in the Old Testament is now part of it is used here 198 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:10,680 in the New Testament. That's why when I talk to people about God's word you just 199 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:15,880 can't be a New Testament Christian only. It's good that we have the New Testament 200 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,440 but there are a lot of things in the New Testament that comes from the Old 201 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,520 Testament and it gives you a better understanding of how God operate when you 202 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:29,000 connect the dots. And once you start connecting the dots from old to new 203 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:34,720 didn't have when certain things in this Bible that is not extremely clear to you. 204 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:41,000 You can go back and say I'm gonna connect the dots and I see God has a pattern of 205 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:46,240 doing certain things a certain way. So even though it don't clearly say he did 206 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:51,360 it here I gotta believe he's the same God and what he did back there and what he 207 00:19:51,360 --> 00:19:54,960 did there. What he did there even though it's not recorded here this is what the 208 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:59,880 outcome would have been based upon how he operate. You got to know and understand 209 00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:04,800 how God's how God operate and you do that by having an understanding of his 210 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:13,560 word and being led by his spirit. So he says now look all of this was done that 211 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:17,280 it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet saying tell the daughters of 212 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:29,160 Zion behold your king is coming lowly or humbly and sitting on a donkey a coat the 213 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:38,400 fold of a donkey. Your king is coming but he's coming in a spirit of humility 214 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:45,640 and majesty and he's coming sitting on a donkey and not a statue. That's gonna be 215 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:55,320 a sign to you that this is your king and when this is revealed to you you need to 216 00:20:55,320 --> 00:21:05,640 act like you receiving act like you receiving royalty act like you receiving 217 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:10,920 your Lord and not just your and give him the praise that is due to him when in 218 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:16,680 your heart you truly know and understand who he is and what he has done for you. 219 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:21,240 A lot of time we make no heart connection to what's in our head in our head we 220 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:25,280 know what the Bible say God did but in our heart we don't know how to express 221 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:30,400 and these palms is designed feeling. 222 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:42,120 To help you give what's in your head into your heart so it'll show forth in your ex. 223 00:21:42,120 --> 00:21:47,320 This is not discernment for you to come and just look and analyze what pastors 224 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:51,800 saying this is the sermon for you to participate and do what the Bible said 225 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:58,400 that was a moment of spontaneous praise
