Thank you.

Thank you. Come on, have a seat, have a seat.

Have a seat, have a seat. Let it go.

Let it go. I haven't started.

You got to back that up.

You got to back that up.

Thank you. Augustine has this amazing, amazing theological proposition of this thing called the beautific vision.

And what a beatific vision is is the day that you will see, the face of Christ, you will see every delight, every joy, every love, everything that you marveled at in this world,

you will see in his face.

I captured you.

I didn't think I would. Because I'm not an egomaniac. I didn't think I would.

Because I'm not an egomaniac.

I don't want the applause of men.

I don't want that.

But I want to remember this moment because what Christ promises me is that the day that I see him face to face,

the Vizio day, which theologians call the face of God, will reveal unto me all the joys that I've ever experienced in this life.

And yet, every joy that I've ever experienced here would only be a shadow of what I will actually see then and this moment I know I will see in the face of Jesus. I know it. So I'm

going to remind myself very often the moment that I will get to see Jesus one day,

and I will know that 1122 was a part of it, adding onto the clarity of that joy and the love that I feel tonight.

And I am so eternally grateful.

I'm grateful because life has not been easy for me in the past four years.

My wife and I had prayed earnestly asking Christ to make a significant, significant change in our lives because we were dry.
