A great communicator and she would have been preaching. Amen today. Let's go to John chapter number 11, verse number 33. We're going to read a few verses here. And it says when Jesus saw her weeping and the Jews who had come along with her also weeping.

He was deeply moved in spirit and troubled.

Where have you laid him?

He asked, come and see, Lord.

They replied.

Jesus wept.

And then the Jews said, see how he loved him.

But some of them said, could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man

have kept this man from dying?

I want to tag a title to this text. We are in a series called Goaded, where we're saying

the goat is a lamb. The greatest of all time is Jesus and he is not just our

redeemer who gets us to heaven he's the rabbi who teaches us how to live on earth and that his

desire for our life is not just that we like him, but that we live like him. And all year at this

church, we are allowing him on how to teach us on how to live what we call third way. And so we're in

volume two of this goaded series. Our emphasis is letting Jesus teach us how to circumvent self-sabotage.

And so I want to talk from this subject.

Now, we're getting ready to have a real conversation about real life using a real Bible.

So it might not be a lot of high-five.

Well, I don't have you high-five your neighbor here anyway.

But it might not be a lot of that.

But I believe the Holy Spirit wants to minister to our perspective today.

Somebody say yes in the room.
