And as we've discussed before, and as we've discussed before, I'm an avid almost to the point of being unhealthy Denver Broncos football fan.

And the Broncos, if you know anything about the National Football League or American football, have this one character who looms large over all of Broncos history moving forward, and this is John Elway.

I'm going to do it. Likewise, in Matthew chapter 11, we're now a third of the way through Matthew and the audience is along for the

ride if they're still even reading at this point which I think they would be I've
