that as well all right well let's get into the word i'm in a i'm in a series here uh about jesus

and the series is called goaded he's the greatest of all time and we are in our fourth installment in

this series and i'm in the third sermon on one subject and so we're going back to luke

number 11 verse 1 is what we're going back to Luke chapter number 11, verse one is what we're

going to be reading in our time together today. And it reads like this. Verse one says, one day

Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him,

teach us to pray just as John taught his disciples. So I want to talk again.

This is the third installment of the same sermon. We're talking from the subject, Goat Talk in our time together today.

Clap your hands. Every location is ready for the word. Goat,

goat talk. Family, a seventh century Christian monk and scholar known as Maximus the

confessor is credited with this quote. For my note takers, it's on the screen. Christianity is an entirely new way of being human.

I'm going to read that again.

Christianity is an entirely new way of being human.

In other words, it was not the intention of our eternal God in the creation of the human species for the human species to be him.

It was his intention that the human species be made like him.

That it was never God's intention that we be God.

It was God's intention that we be God. It was God's intention that we be human as God intended.

As a matter of fact, Dr. Leonard Sweet frames it this way.

He says, the story of Jesus is the story of God restoring humanity back to his original intent.

He argues that whenever Jesus performed a miraculous work,

it was a work of restoration of the humanity of that individual.

When he healed a sick person, he's restoring their humanity.
