So this source of joy that Jesus gives us, the source of that joy is not simply that there is

a Son of God who has, for some reason, come into the flesh.

Pastor Hans Feeney of Lutheran satire speaking at this year's issues, et cetera, making the

case conference.

The great source of joy, the source of joy for the Christian, is that the Son of God

came into the flesh for you.

That this very universe was created for you and that when you were lost in its fallenness,

Jesus Christ came into this world, gave up his life upon the cross,

and rose from the grave.

The Christian is reminded by Holy Scripture that we live with three great enemies, three great foes.

The devil, of course, the world, and even our own sinful flesh.

And these can tempt us, they can assault us, They can cause us to fear, fear even for our

place in the heart of Almighty God. Well, what is our comfort in the midst of those assaults and that

fear? Welcome back to Issues, Et cetera. I'm Todd Wilkin. Joining us to study the hymn Jesus' priceless treasure. Dr. Arthur
