Hey, everybody, it's Matt. This is the 10 minute Bible Hour podcast, and I just got done recording another podcast. I do a show called No Dumb Questions with my buddy Destin from Smarter Every Day. And we just did a podcast about automatic lawnmowers. I got one of those recently, and the reason I got an automatic lawnmower is not even first and foremost because I

really wanted an automatic lawnmower. And don't get me wrong now that I have one. Are you

kidding me? There's a robot that mows my lawn for me. This is the coolest thing ever. But the reason

I got one and the reason it was on my radar is because my buddy Austin got an automatic lawnmower, robot mower, and he was like,

you have to come see what this does. I was like, all right. And he showed me the app,

he showed me the mower, and he showed me the results. And I was like, dang, your little robot

just did all that. He just ran out there in the night and he just cut that lawn lawn and all the lines are perfect. It just did that. And he's like, yep. And you could get one and it could do it for you too. And I was like, yep, gonna have to figure that out. Now I had to wait like a whole year before it went on sale. But when it did, I got a robot mower, and now I'm in the process of figuring out

exactly how you use one. Bottom line, when we encounter something that is rad, we tell other people

about said rad thing, especially people we like, because if we find out that something is cool,

well, I don't know, probably selfishly. We a little bit want the credit

from being like, I found something cool. I found it. I am the one who found it. And now I want,

I want you to see it, both for your benefit, but also, like, I wouldn't hate if you acknowledge

that I was the one who found the thing that was cool. Also, I think that celebrating cool things

is just way more fun with other people.

It's not that much fun to sit and look at your own yard and be like, good job, robot.

The robot's inanimate.

It's not fun to hang out with.

It's fun to show somebody else and think about it and talk about it and shoot the breeze.

But also, when you care about other people, you want good things for them.

And when you're amazed by something, you want especially to share those good things. And well, what we're talking about in John chapter one is it's better than a robot mower. Don't get me wrong. The robot mower is really cool. You're going to like that episode. We brought in a robot mower expert. It's going to be fun. I don know when it comes out, but it's going to come out soon. You're probably going to like it. But this is better. This is Jesus. Jesus is better than robot mowers. It's not close, in my opinion. This is what we got going on. We're in John 1, 35. John the Baptist is cross fading out and cross fading into Jesus. John is decreasing.

Jesus is increasing. And yesterday we looked at the first, like the headwaters of Christianity,

the little trickle that eventually turns into the metaphorical Mighty, Muddy, Mississippi.
