WEBVTT STYLE ::cue { color: #ffffff; } 00:00:00.490 --> 00:00:01.546 At the end of the 6th 00:00:01.577 --> 00:00:02.762 day of creating, 00:00:02.906 --> 00:00:05.290 God looked out over his creation 00:00:05.450 --> 00:00:08.160 and deemed it to be very good. 00:00:08.930 --> 00:00:10.254 Everything was just as He 00:00:10.292 --> 00:00:11.840 envisioned it would be. 00:00:12.770 --> 00:00:14.234 Everything was functioning 00:00:14.282 --> 00:00:17.342 harmoniously as He intended and 00:00:17.396 --> 00:00:19.600 everything was just beautiful. 00:00:20.450 --> 00:00:21.760 And then next, 00:00:22.530 --> 00:00:23.454 on the 7th day, 00:00:23.492 --> 00:00:26.102 God finished his work and 00:00:26.156 --> 00:00:27.702 rested on the 7th day. 00:00:27.836 --> 00:00:29.426 And God blessed the 7th 00:00:29.458 --> 00:00:31.510 day and made it holy. 00:00:32.330 --> 00:00:34.086 We find these words picked up 00:00:34.108 --> 00:00:36.422 again in Exodus chapter 31, 00:00:36.476 --> 00:00:37.590 verse 17. 00:00:38.250 --> 00:00:40.922 Where it reads it is a sign 00:00:40.976 --> 00:00:42.426 forever between Me and the 00:00:42.448 --> 00:00:44.874 people of Israel that in six 00:00:44.912 --> 00:00:46.298 days the Lord made 00:00:46.464 --> 00:00:47.958 heaven and earth. 00:00:48.134 --> 00:00:50.910 And on the 7th day He rested 00:00:51.410 --> 00:00:54.030 and was refreshed. 00:00:55.090 --> 00:00:56.714 In this we find one additional 00:00:56.762 --> 00:00:59.182 and very intriguing addition God 00:00:59.236 --> 00:01:02.030 rested and was refreshed. 00:01:03.170 --> 00:01:03.534 Now, 00:01:03.572 --> 00:01:05.650 one might rightly ask why God 00:01:05.720 --> 00:01:06.658 would need to rest in 00:01:06.664 --> 00:01:07.282 the first place, 00:01:07.336 --> 00:01:08.754 as He doesn't get tired from 00:01:08.792 --> 00:01:11.202 working and why would He be 00:01:11.256 --> 00:01:13.090 refreshed from resting? 00:01:14.310 --> 00:01:15.654 But it seems to me being 00:01:15.692 --> 00:01:17.414 refreshed here and the word 00:01:17.452 --> 00:01:19.430 that's used here for refreshment 00:01:19.930 --> 00:01:21.126 is a little bit more in the 00:01:21.148 --> 00:01:23.110 sense of catching one's breath 00:01:23.690 --> 00:01:25.462 or perhaps resting and 00:01:25.516 --> 00:01:28.250 expressing a sigh of 00:01:28.320 --> 00:01:31.210 satisfaction and contentment. 00:01:32.590 --> 00:01:33.194 In other words, 00:01:33.232 --> 00:01:35.050 this brings us back to God's 00:01:35.390 --> 00:01:37.398 assessment of his creation. 00:01:37.574 --> 00:01:38.474 That is to say, 00:01:38.512 --> 00:01:39.754 God looked out over the work 00:01:39.792 --> 00:01:41.094 of his hands both the human 00:01:41.152 --> 00:01:42.138 creation and the non 00:01:42.154 --> 00:01:43.242 human creation. 00:01:43.386 --> 00:01:45.614 And God liked what he had made. 00:01:45.812 --> 00:01:47.898 It was just as he intended. 00:01:48.074 --> 00:01:49.454 And so on the 7th day, 00:01:49.492 --> 00:01:52.666 he ceased his work and breathed 00:01:52.698 --> 00:01:54.210 a sigh of contentment. 00:01:59.190 --> 00:02:00.862 What is also of significance 00:02:00.926 --> 00:02:02.100 for us, though, 00:02:02.870 --> 00:02:04.494 is that God has subsequently 00:02:04.542 --> 00:02:05.960 invited his people, 00:02:06.730 --> 00:02:07.974 you and me, 00:02:08.172 --> 00:02:10.854 to share in that rest and his 00:02:10.892 --> 00:02:13.670 delight and his satisfaction. 00:02:14.810 --> 00:02:16.550 God now invites us, however, 00:02:16.620 --> 00:02:18.674 to share in his delight and 00:02:18.732 --> 00:02:20.730 satisfaction both for the work 00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:23.738 of His creation and the work of 00:02:23.744 --> 00:02:26.250 His redemption of creation. 00:02:26.910 --> 00:02:27.446 And thus, 00:02:27.478 --> 00:02:28.522 when we turn to the giving 00:02:28.576 --> 00:02:29.494 of the Ten Commandments, 00:02:29.542 --> 00:02:31.374 we find two different reasons or 00:02:31.412 --> 00:02:33.966 foundations given for the day 00:02:33.988 --> 00:02:36.366 of rest. One in Exodus 20, 00:02:36.468 --> 00:02:38.640 the other in Deuteronomy five. 00:02:39.890 --> 00:02:41.120 Exodus 20 00:02:42.290 --> 00:02:43.886 grounds the basis for a day of 00:02:43.908 --> 00:02:45.146 rest in creation. Namely, 00:02:45.178 --> 00:02:47.360 God rested on the 7th day. 00:02:47.810 --> 00:02:49.182 But Deuteronomy looks 00:02:49.236 --> 00:02:50.074 not to creation, 00:02:50.122 --> 00:02:51.514 but to Israel's enslavement 00:02:51.562 --> 00:02:53.386 within Egypt and God's 00:02:53.418 --> 00:02:54.426 deliverance of Israel 00:02:54.458 --> 00:02:55.590 out of Egypt. 00:02:55.930 --> 00:02:57.382 Thus the people are to rest, 00:02:57.436 --> 00:02:58.502 for God brought them 00:02:58.556 --> 00:02:59.940 out from a land 00:03:00.090 --> 00:03:01.694 where they had no rest. 00:03:01.892 --> 00:03:04.080 And now God gives them rest. 00:03:06.930 --> 00:03:09.102 You shall remember that you were 00:03:09.156 --> 00:03:11.246 a slave in the land of Egypt and 00:03:11.268 --> 00:03:12.526 the Lord your God brought you 00:03:12.548 --> 00:03:14.030 out of there with a mighty hand 00:03:14.100 --> 00:03:15.790 and an outstretched arm. 00:03:17.010 --> 00:03:18.960 So what does this mean for us? 00:03:20.050 --> 00:03:21.118 At the very least, 00:03:21.204 --> 00:03:23.566 it suggests that God invites us 00:03:23.748 --> 00:03:25.814 to look out over the work of his 00:03:25.852 --> 00:03:29.010 hands both his work in creation 00:03:29.170 --> 00:03:30.962 and his work in the redemption 00:03:31.026 --> 00:03:33.634 of creation and to meditate upon 00:03:33.682 --> 00:03:34.805 those two works that we 00:03:34.828 --> 00:03:36.310 might be refreshed, 00:03:36.650 --> 00:03:39.590 inspired and rejuvenated. 00:03:40.570 --> 00:03:41.562 That is to say, 00:03:41.616 --> 00:03:43.046 when we look out upon creation 00:03:43.078 --> 00:03:44.534 through the glasses of the cross 00:03:44.582 --> 00:03:45.894 and the empty grave, 00:03:46.022 --> 00:03:47.146 we see not only the 00:03:47.168 --> 00:03:47.978 creation itself, 00:03:48.064 --> 00:03:49.942 but we see the redemption of 00:03:50.016 --> 00:03:53.054 creation which is both the 00:03:53.091 --> 00:03:55.150 context and the object 00:03:55.300 --> 00:03:56.750 of our redemption. 00:03:57.730 --> 00:03:58.878 And that brings us to the 00:03:58.884 --> 00:04:00.110 stained glass windows. 00:04:01.410 --> 00:04:03.826 We gather as His Church in a 00:04:03.848 --> 00:04:06.482 building such as this to hear 00:04:06.536 --> 00:04:08.574 the promised Word regarding 00:04:08.622 --> 00:04:10.260 our salvation in Christ. 00:04:12.070 --> 00:04:15.242 But here's the thing that simply 00:04:15.326 --> 00:04:18.209 cannot be done in isolation 00:04:18.290 --> 00:04:19.990 from the wider creation. 00:04:20.730 --> 00:04:22.550 God does not deal with us 00:04:22.620 --> 00:04:24.418 apart from his creation, 00:04:24.594 --> 00:04:27.330 nor do we deal with God apart 00:04:27.409 --> 00:04:29.290 from His creation. 00:04:31.630 --> 00:04:33.226 And I think that suggests that 00:04:33.248 --> 00:04:34.586 the buildings and places in 00:04:34.608 --> 00:04:36.054 which we gather should neither 00:04:36.102 --> 00:04:38.490 hide us from the wider world nor 00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:40.266 shut out the wider world of 00:04:40.288 --> 00:04:42.634 creation from our thoughts 00:04:42.762 --> 00:04:44.350 and our senses. 00:04:45.570 --> 00:04:47.198 So I must admit that over the 00:04:47.204 --> 00:04:48.526 last couple of decades since 00:04:48.548 --> 00:04:50.174 this chapel had been built, 00:04:50.372 --> 00:04:52.174 I had grown to appreciate the 00:04:52.212 --> 00:04:53.754 way in which the clear glass 00:04:53.802 --> 00:04:55.378 windows opened out onto the 00:04:55.384 --> 00:04:57.506 wider world. After all, 00:04:57.528 --> 00:04:58.994 the Church and the Seminary are 00:04:59.032 --> 00:05:00.482 located in the world 00:05:00.536 --> 00:05:01.774 of God's creation. 00:05:01.902 --> 00:05:03.438 And so we found ourselves 00:05:03.534 --> 00:05:05.606 hearing the word of God in 00:05:05.628 --> 00:05:07.186 the midst of creation, 00:05:07.298 --> 00:05:09.154 just as Adam and Eve heard God's 00:05:09.202 --> 00:05:11.750 Word in the midst of the garden. 00:05:13.530 --> 00:05:16.134 I was a little nervous then when 00:05:16.252 --> 00:05:18.042 the decision was made to put 00:05:18.096 --> 00:05:19.770 stained glass windows, 00:05:20.830 --> 00:05:22.122 would they hide us 00:05:22.176 --> 00:05:23.260 from the world? 00:05:24.350 --> 00:05:25.658 But I'm grateful that the 00:05:25.664 --> 00:05:28.166 Stained Glass windows committee 00:05:28.198 --> 00:05:29.354 and the artists sought to 00:05:29.392 --> 00:05:33.326 maintain the emphasis of the 00:05:33.348 --> 00:05:35.354 Church's connection to God's 00:05:35.402 --> 00:05:37.018 creation with the stained 00:05:37.034 --> 00:05:38.110 glass windows. 00:05:38.690 --> 00:05:39.502 For that reason, 00:05:39.556 --> 00:05:41.086 you and I can look up at each of 00:05:41.108 --> 00:05:43.774 the windows and see the clear 00:05:43.892 --> 00:05:46.506 windows opening up onto 00:05:46.538 --> 00:05:47.680 the wider world. 00:05:49.010 --> 00:05:50.554 It reminds us that the Church 00:05:50.602 --> 00:05:52.302 does not exist upon some 00:05:52.356 --> 00:05:55.230 supranatural spiritual plane, 00:05:55.690 --> 00:05:57.734 nor does it take us out of the 00:05:57.772 --> 00:05:59.409 realm of the physical creation. 00:06:00.250 --> 00:06:02.446 We are part of this creation and 00:06:02.468 --> 00:06:04.350 we belong to this creation. 00:06:05.410 --> 00:06:06.254 At the same time, 00:06:06.292 --> 00:06:07.834 we are not only human creatures, 00:06:07.882 --> 00:06:08.654 but we have been made 00:06:08.692 --> 00:06:09.322 new creatures, 00:06:09.386 --> 00:06:10.538 reborn through the waters 00:06:10.554 --> 00:06:11.550 of baptism. 00:06:12.290 --> 00:06:13.982 Those waters have brought us 00:06:14.036 --> 00:06:17.294 into a particular story of 00:06:17.332 --> 00:06:19.694 redemption according to which 00:06:19.732 --> 00:06:21.360 we now live our lives. 00:06:21.890 --> 00:06:23.786 And so we begin at the baptismal 00:06:23.818 --> 00:06:24.734 font when we enter 00:06:24.772 --> 00:06:25.800 this building, 00:06:26.250 --> 00:06:28.086 where we see to the side the 00:06:28.108 --> 00:06:29.286 Spirit hoving over the 00:06:29.308 --> 00:06:30.870 waters of creation. 00:06:31.850 --> 00:06:34.280 As we move through the building, 00:06:34.810 --> 00:06:36.374 we see that the story of 00:06:36.412 --> 00:06:39.610 redemption is played out through 00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:41.254 Abraham and his descendants, 00:06:41.302 --> 00:06:43.130 to which the stars testify. 00:06:43.550 --> 00:06:46.074 Through Israel as epitomized by 00:06:46.112 --> 00:06:48.666 King David and the tribes of 00:06:48.688 --> 00:06:50.770 Israel with the Star of David, 00:06:50.950 --> 00:06:52.154 and through the prophets 00:06:52.202 --> 00:06:55.230 of Ezekiel and Isaiah. 00:06:55.650 --> 00:06:57.406 It culminates in the life of 00:06:57.428 --> 00:06:59.066 Christ here in the transepts 00:06:59.098 --> 00:07:00.110 in the chapel. 00:07:00.530 --> 00:07:01.822 And then as we move back 00:07:01.876 --> 00:07:03.042 out into the world, 00:07:03.096 --> 00:07:04.690 it portrays the subsequent life 00:07:04.760 --> 00:07:06.786 of the Church as the Gospel is 00:07:06.808 --> 00:07:08.433 proclaimed by the apostles and 00:07:08.472 --> 00:07:10.674 brought to all people, women, 00:07:10.792 --> 00:07:11.313 men, 00:07:11.432 --> 00:07:13.170 children and all every 00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:14.290 ethnicity. 00:07:16.090 --> 00:07:17.842 But as you observe the Bible 00:07:17.906 --> 00:07:19.494 stories portrayed by 00:07:19.532 --> 00:07:20.630 these windows, 00:07:22.650 --> 00:07:26.054 and as you see the story of 00:07:26.092 --> 00:07:27.566 salvation portrayed 00:07:27.618 --> 00:07:28.970 by these windows, 00:07:29.950 --> 00:07:31.642 note that the story of human 00:07:31.696 --> 00:07:33.418 redemption does not take place 00:07:33.504 --> 00:07:36.090 in isolation from creation. 00:07:36.590 --> 00:07:37.098 Instead, 00:07:37.183 --> 00:07:39.722 there exists an intertwining and 00:07:39.776 --> 00:07:41.226 interdependence of creation 00:07:41.258 --> 00:07:42.430 and redemption. 00:07:43.970 --> 00:07:46.398 Every Bible story is set within 00:07:46.484 --> 00:07:48.430 the context of creation, 00:07:49.330 --> 00:07:52.474 as evidenced by the palette of 00:07:52.532 --> 00:07:53.998 creation's colors 00:07:54.174 --> 00:07:56.340 swirling around 00:07:57.750 --> 00:07:59.885 all the characters and events 00:07:59.918 --> 00:08:01.442 that take place within 00:08:01.576 --> 00:08:02.770 the Scriptures. 00:08:03.990 --> 00:08:04.974 At the same time, 00:08:05.032 --> 00:08:06.822 we see that these stories take 00:08:06.876 --> 00:08:09.270 place in geographical locations 00:08:09.770 --> 00:08:13.586 within creation Eden, Egypt, 00:08:13.698 --> 00:08:16.002 the wilderness, Sinai, 00:08:16.145 --> 00:08:18.730 Israel and ultimately into 00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:20.140 the wider world. 00:08:21.710 --> 00:08:24.938 Not only does creation provide 00:08:25.024 --> 00:08:27.659 the locatedness of God's working 00:08:28.510 --> 00:08:31.454 and the colors swirl around all 00:08:31.491 --> 00:08:33.309 the events of creation, 00:08:34.049 --> 00:08:35.674 but the elements of creation 00:08:35.722 --> 00:08:37.582 themselves are taken up into 00:08:37.635 --> 00:08:39.870 the story of redemption and 00:08:39.940 --> 00:08:42.574 contribute to God's work of 00:08:42.611 --> 00:08:44.894 redemption in bringing about the 00:08:44.932 --> 00:08:46.942 salvation of humankind and by 00:08:46.996 --> 00:08:49.360 extension, the wider world. 00:08:51.569 --> 00:08:54.026 We see this with the Spirit 00:08:54.058 --> 00:08:54.950 hovering over the 00:08:54.980 --> 00:08:56.550 waters of creation. 00:08:56.970 --> 00:08:58.086 We see this with the 00:08:58.108 --> 00:08:59.170 stormy clouds 00:09:00.090 --> 00:09:02.430 over the flood and Noah's ark. 00:09:02.930 --> 00:09:05.934 We see this with regard to the 00:09:05.972 --> 00:09:07.806 judgment that is exercised by 00:09:07.828 --> 00:09:09.562 God as well as the redemption 00:09:09.626 --> 00:09:10.974 offered by God. 00:09:11.172 --> 00:09:12.398 We see this with the 00:09:12.404 --> 00:09:13.790 grains of wheat. 00:09:17.140 --> 00:09:18.610 In addition, though, 00:09:19.140 --> 00:09:21.676 to creation serving as a context 00:09:21.868 --> 00:09:23.936 and providing a location for 00:09:24.038 --> 00:09:25.760 God's work of redemption, 00:09:26.260 --> 00:09:28.600 and addition to God making use 00:09:28.670 --> 00:09:32.756 of an innocent creation to carry 00:09:32.788 --> 00:09:34.052 out both his judgment 00:09:34.116 --> 00:09:35.480 and his salvation. 00:09:36.620 --> 00:09:38.728 Creation also serves to provide 00:09:38.814 --> 00:09:41.020 us with certain symbols 00:09:42.160 --> 00:09:44.184 for reflecting more deeply upon 00:09:44.232 --> 00:09:46.524 the riches and depth of 00:09:46.562 --> 00:09:48.190 what God has done. 00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:51.244 And I'm thinking of two in 00:09:51.282 --> 00:09:53.170 particular this morning. 00:09:54.020 --> 00:09:55.296 Over to my right, 00:09:55.398 --> 00:09:58.620 we see the symbol of a pelican 00:09:58.700 --> 00:10:00.444 that reaches back to the ancient 00:10:00.492 --> 00:10:02.412 church Clement of Rome, 00:10:02.476 --> 00:10:05.350 Tertullian, and many others. 00:10:07.400 --> 00:10:08.212 In this case, 00:10:08.266 --> 00:10:09.776 you see the pelican pecking 00:10:09.808 --> 00:10:10.944 away at its breast, 00:10:10.992 --> 00:10:12.915 and out of its breast pours or 00:10:12.938 --> 00:10:14.772 drips blood by which 00:10:14.826 --> 00:10:16.390 it feeds its young. 00:10:17.100 --> 00:10:18.536 Various interpretations have 00:10:18.558 --> 00:10:20.616 been offered for this from a 00:10:20.638 --> 00:10:22.580 famine in which the pelican 00:10:22.740 --> 00:10:25.592 keeps alive its babies by 00:10:25.646 --> 00:10:27.316 pecking its breast and feeding 00:10:27.348 --> 00:10:28.532 it of its blood. 00:10:28.676 --> 00:10:30.488 To that to an account 00:10:30.574 --> 00:10:33.400 in which the chicks 00:10:34.780 --> 00:10:36.500 badger the mother, 00:10:36.660 --> 00:10:39.080 rebel against the mother until 00:10:39.150 --> 00:10:41.920 the mother retaliates the 00:10:42.030 --> 00:10:44.300 and the chicks die, 00:10:44.380 --> 00:10:45.410 at which point 00:10:46.420 --> 00:10:49.116 she pecks her breast and pours 00:10:49.148 --> 00:10:51.360 out her blood for her children 00:10:51.430 --> 00:10:54.290 to live and dies in the process. 00:10:55.160 --> 00:10:57.444 You can see how the church made 00:10:57.482 --> 00:11:00.740 use of that connection to speak 00:11:00.810 --> 00:11:02.196 of the death of Christ 00:11:02.298 --> 00:11:03.620 for our sake. 00:11:04.680 --> 00:11:06.372 And we come to the window behind 00:11:06.426 --> 00:11:07.736 me here in the Chancel that 00:11:07.758 --> 00:11:08.804 depicts the resurrection 00:11:08.852 --> 00:11:09.656 of Christ. 00:11:09.838 --> 00:11:11.668 Here we find an image 00:11:11.764 --> 00:11:13.000 of the phoenix. 00:11:14.460 --> 00:11:14.920 Today, 00:11:14.990 --> 00:11:16.484 most of us consider the phoenix 00:11:16.532 --> 00:11:17.636 to be a mythical bird 00:11:17.668 --> 00:11:19.000 that never existed, 00:11:19.420 --> 00:11:21.348 but that was not necessarily the 00:11:21.374 --> 00:11:22.620 case among the early 00:11:22.690 --> 00:11:23.980 church fathers. 00:11:24.560 --> 00:11:26.696 Thus, in the late first century, 00:11:26.888 --> 00:11:28.556 Clement of Rome speaks of it as 00:11:28.578 --> 00:11:30.284 a real bird in a letter to 00:11:30.322 --> 00:11:32.140 a church in Corinth. 00:11:32.800 --> 00:11:34.056 In chapter 24, 00:11:34.098 --> 00:11:35.644 he speaks about the resurrection 00:11:35.692 --> 00:11:36.160 of Christ. 00:11:36.230 --> 00:11:37.744 And then in chapter 25, 00:11:37.782 --> 00:11:39.440 he comes to the phoenix, 00:11:39.780 --> 00:11:41.584 a bird that he maintains lives 00:11:41.622 --> 00:11:43.730 for upwards of 500 years. 00:11:44.420 --> 00:11:46.112 But when its death is at hand, 00:11:46.165 --> 00:11:48.044 it builds a nest of frankincense 00:11:48.092 --> 00:11:50.396 and myrrh and dies. 00:11:50.588 --> 00:11:52.044 And then out of the decaying 00:11:52.092 --> 00:11:55.040 flesh of the bird arises new 00:11:55.110 --> 00:11:57.972 life that takes wings 00:11:58.116 --> 00:11:59.220 and takes flight 00:12:00.330 --> 00:12:02.670 from the death of its mother. 00:12:05.970 --> 00:12:07.440 A century later, 00:12:07.810 --> 00:12:09.294 Tertullian again would connect 00:12:09.332 --> 00:12:10.474 the phoenix to Christ's 00:12:10.522 --> 00:12:11.546 resurrection, 00:12:11.738 --> 00:12:13.850 this time emphasizing the bird 00:12:13.930 --> 00:12:15.246 as one that returned to 00:12:15.268 --> 00:12:16.880 life in three days. 00:12:19.010 --> 00:12:20.398 Well, all of this then, 00:12:20.484 --> 00:12:22.510 takes us back to where we began. 00:12:23.890 --> 00:12:26.146 As with the work of creation, 00:12:26.338 --> 00:12:27.014 so now, 00:12:27.052 --> 00:12:28.550 with the work of redemption, 00:12:28.970 --> 00:12:30.294 we can imagine that God 00:12:30.332 --> 00:12:31.878 is saying, it's good. 00:12:32.044 --> 00:12:33.560 It's really good. 00:12:34.170 --> 00:12:36.134 And so we can imagine God 00:12:36.172 --> 00:12:37.834 breathing a second sigh of 00:12:37.872 --> 00:12:39.862 contentment and satisfaction, 00:12:40.006 --> 00:12:41.994 this time over the work of His 00:12:42.112 --> 00:12:44.010 redemption of creation. 00:12:45.150 --> 00:12:46.842 And as his newborn people, 00:12:46.896 --> 00:12:48.940 He invites us to do the same. 00:12:50.050 --> 00:12:51.146 That very creation, 00:12:51.178 --> 00:12:52.990 though it was innocent of sin, 00:12:53.410 --> 00:12:56.094 that very creation that you and 00:12:56.132 --> 00:12:59.150 I ruined as a result of our sin, 00:12:59.490 --> 00:13:03.230 has now participated in the work 00:13:03.380 --> 00:13:07.290 of rescuing us and participating 00:13:07.370 --> 00:13:09.470 in God's work of redemption. 00:13:10.610 --> 00:13:12.880 And so we too can rest. 00:13:13.970 --> 00:13:14.934 And we too, 00:13:15.012 --> 00:13:18.194 who can now breathe a sigh 00:13:18.322 --> 00:13:20.690 of relief and a sigh 00:13:20.770 --> 00:13:22.146 of contentment. 00:13:22.338 --> 00:13:24.760 It is indeed very good. 00:13:25.210 --> 00:13:25.730 Amen.
