Well, yes, I hope you had a good break. Let's get back into our subject. So we have covered up to verse 39 If we can have one person read out verses 40 up to 46 John chapter one verse 40 Up to verse 46 if we can have someone read out, please. Thank you so much for all of you who are reading You know, it really makes it easier for me. Thank you so much. Someone can go ahead Okay, whoever's come back from their break and has rejoined the class if you could read John chapter one versus 40 to 46 Does this mean that no one has rejoined after the break? John chapter one verse Verse 40 to 46 pastor. Yes. Thank you One of the two who had John speak And followed him was Andrew Simon Peter's brother. He first found his Only brother Simon and say to him we have found the Messiah which is translated the Christ and he brought him to Christ now when Jesus looked at him. He said you are Simon the son of Jonah You shall be called Sifas which is translated as stone Philip and Nathan Nile the following day Jesus wanted to go to Galilee and he found Philip and say to him follow me Now Philip was from Bath Shader the city of Andrew and Peter Philip found Nathan Nile and say to him we have found him whom Moses in the law and The prophets wrote Jesus of Natharys the son of Joseph Amen Was 46 as well, please Okay, and nothing I'll say to him can anything good come out of Natharys Philip say to him come and see Yes, Philip gives a very good reply. He says you come and find out for yourself whether anything good can come out of Nazareth so it versus 40 to 46 we see that I Andrew immediately goes and tells his brother that they have found the Messiah and when Peter comes to Jesus Jesus speaks to him and says I know that you know your name is Simon son of John But I am going to be giving you a new name Which is capos? That would be your Aramaic word Which means rock? Peter I guess would be the Greek word which means rock So these are all different languages which are we're being used over here, but they all basically are referring to a rock so Even though Jesus sees Peter the way he is right now currently he accepts him and Also shows him what he is going to be in the future Now this applies for all of us who come to Jesus You know with his eagerness to become his followers to become his disciples when we come We come rather raw We are not very pleasant We are very unfinished We are we have a lot of defects We may not even be very pleasant people You know, but there's this desire somewhere inside that we want our life changed If we want to reach out to God and that God will do something for us So with that eagerness we come to him and he looks at us in our Imperfect state and he loves us and he accepts us There's no rejection from his side.  You know for me. No Person ever has to approach the Lord and fear rejection He will accept every person who comes to him. So that is guaranteed He loves us as we are he accepts us, but he doesn't want us to stay where we are He wants us to become something much more Because now we have someone divine backing us up now We have someone divine working on our behalf in our life. So we don't have to stay where we are we can rise up to the Level that he has in mind for us He has a greater status for us and we can reach that So, you know, he may not speak in audible words to us the way he did over here with Peter but when he looks at each of us he say he says to us, you know, okay, this is who you are right now, but This is who you're going to be in the future and there's good There's a there's a name that he probably has a term A phrase which will describe What we will be when we know when we attain that new status.  We see that he's a very impulsive person very open-hearted and Very spontaneous No first acts and then things, you know, so he's that type So who knows how many fixes he's gotten himself into because of his nature and so people probably tell him, you know, you need to be a little more Calm-headed think before you act is probably what they say to him They may not have a very high opinion of him But now Jesus looks at this man and says no, this is who you have been your whole life Simon son of Jonah, but sorry, not Jonah John Simon son of John But now you're going to be something more a day is going to come when you are going to be capers the rock And that is who I'm going to start calling you even from now So that you will always remember that you're not going to remain just this Simon but you are going to continue progressing in your walk with me until you become this capers and we see the Impact this capers had, you know on the early church later. I mean what a man he became so The Lord can take any one of us and turn us into Someone, you know of an equal caliber has this Peter. It is possible Why because we have Someone divine working on our behalf Someone who's willing to you know, think about us every moment You know like it says in some month it in and the number of thoughts you think towards me. Oh Lord, you know I mean, I cannot even count them. No, we can really apply that scripture to ourselves God is constantly thinking of us. He is now, you know taken us into his hand And so he says that he's going to make us into you know, make us Christ like so We never have to limit ourselves and think oh, I am going to stay this way because this is who I am No, there's another phrase that he has in mind for each of us It would be very interesting if you knew what it was Maybe he reveals it to some of us, but some of us may not know that know what it is that he we are going to turn Into but yes, he has something beautiful for all of us That's a very powerful learning that we can take away from this, you know from these verses. So Oh, Philip is also someone that Jesus approaches and says follow me Philip does not ask any questions He doesn't make any comments. He is his he's completely ready. And so he just You know a breeze he accepts and he begins to follow Jesus and he's the one who goes and informs Nathaniel and he says we have found the one Moses wrote about in the law in those first five books of the Torah The person that he was always indicating towards we have found him And you know who it is it is Jesus of Nazareth the son of Joseph and Nathaniel is very disappointed when he hears about Who this person is and from which place he is he says Nazareth can anything good come from there? because At least if he had said Jerusalem, you know, then it would have made sense But he is saying this person is from Nazareth. What on earth are you going to pick up in Nazareth? You know Not exactly the center of spiritual learning Not exactly the place where religious leaders get made So he is rather disappointed and Philip sensible man He says come and see for yourself, you know, then you will know whether this is What can actually come out of Nazareth? You can see it for yourself and So we see Nathaniel coming over here to to see Jesus and Because Jesus knows that Nathaniel is hesitant that he needs a little additional boost There are some who are so open in their heart to the things of God You just have to God just has to say the word, you know, like Philip someone like Philip God just has to say follow me and Philip will follow because he's all ready But there are going to be some like Nathaniel who have a lot of thoughts running to their minds and then a little additional boost And so Jesus understands that and so even as Jesus sees him approaching He says to him here truly is an Israelite in whom there is no deceit Here is a man who will speak frankly who will not think one thing and say one thing Whatever is in his heart, he will say it out Which is maybe see an example of that, you know, just in the previous verse where he very frankly and openly says, you know What good can come out of Nazareth? So he's a person who? Speaks his mind his Frank is not deceitful so Jesus says I know that's the kind of person that you are and How do you know me in Nathaniel says and Jesus says I saw you while you were still under the victory before Philip called you So now this is something that nobody could have known, you know, unless they are divine and so when Even Philip did not know right because I mean Philip only came and spoke to him after he had, you know finished sitting under the victory So here we see that Jesus says I saw you while you were still under the victory before Philip called you and When Nathaniel hears this he says my you really must be the son of God Okay, so now all his doubts are removed and he says rabbi. You're not just rabbi.  So now Nathaniel is very excited as excited as all the others So when we have that attitude of learning, you know, God Speaks to us All these people they all came to Jesus in different ways Two of them who had become disciples of John the Baptist so that they can learn and start getting ready And then they went and told others about this Jesus so different people came to Jesus differently and Jesus speaks to each of them very intentionally He will give you what you need for your You know for you for you to begin your walk with him what you require to hear from him He will speak that so Jesus is very Intentional in the way he communicates with each of the people who come to him Nobody is sent away empty-handed So if you have that desire to know him more to reach out to him and connect with him He will complete the connection Okay, so all you need to do is be eager to want to go back to him each day And connect with him. It's you know the branch Re-establishing your connection in the wine. So even as you do that with him each day He will give you what you require for that day He will speak to you what you need to hear What you require to move on through that day and through the rest of your life with him He will give you what you need But you would have to make time So Nathaniel had to actually set aside his other Responsibilities and tasks and make time for someone who had come from Nazareth It's it's an effort that he had to take And he had this joyous revelation that now he has met the very son of God So if we go to the Lord for five minutes in the morning and say Lord Speak to me. It probably will not happen So we need to have a hunger that is great enough That will hold us in his presence long enough For him to share something of value with us If we don't give him that time if Nathaniel had not taken that effort to you know, go there and speak to Jesus What he encountered would not have happened So the Lord is very Intentional he knows exactly what you need to hear from him what you need to receive from him is ready to give it But we need to make time To go and establish that connection from our side the wine is always there waiting But the branch has to decide that it's going to reinforce its connection with that wine every single day And we choose to do that when we spend time with him He will very intentionally minister to us We will come away from that quiet time having received what we need For our day for our week for our life, you know, so If we make the time we will see that the Lord is there to provide us with exactly what we require Now Jesus goes on to say some other things to Nathaniel We could maybe look at those verses if so if we can have someone read out verses 50 and 51 Jesus Answered and said to him Because I said to you I saw you under the fig tree. Do you believe you will see greater things than these? And he said to him most assuredly I say to you Hereafter you shall see heavens heaven open and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man Very interesting things that Jesus says to Nathaniel. He says, you know, you're so pleased and surprised that I am talking about you being under the fig tree But there are going to be greater revelations that you're going to be receiving and he says There's going to be a day when you will actually see the heavens open and you'll see the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of man Now we are not given any Explanation by John the writer regarding this matter So we don't really know in what way Nathaniel got to see this Did he see a vision, you know the way Jacob saw a vision and saw people Angels climbing up the ladder to heaven and coming down from heaven, you know to the earth on the ladder Because this wording seems to be similar to that in Jacob's vision, which he had in the Old Testament He sees an open ladder and there are angels bringing messages from God to the people down here And there are men and in there that they know They're probably collecting the prayer request of people down here and going up the ladder to deliver them to God It's all of course very symbolic God doesn't need someone to come all the way up the ladder to him and tell him What we need, you know, he is all knowing so it's basically a symbolic language that is being used about how there is a connection between heaven and earth and In Jacob's vision, it was a ladder that was connecting But here it's going to be a person who is going to be the connection the son of man he is going to be the direct connection between heaven and earth and So the angels that I'm ministering will be ministering, you know under him through him So he is going to connect heaven and earth and he's going to you know use his angels to do his bidding so Was Jesus saying you're going to get to know more about me and you're going to find out that I am the link between heaven and earth and it is you know through me that the angels do their work and You know see my will being done So was he just explaining that to him or was Jesus saying that he would actually have a vision one day and See this with his own eyes, you know that Jesus being the link between heaven and earth Would he actually see it in some kind of vision form? We do not know the details, but God says there are greater revelations ahead Awaiting you and so we can see the same thing, you know for ourselves as well When we make the time to go into his presence He is very intentional in what he reveals to us Maybe Nathaniel needed to you know See this at some point of time and so Jesus chooses to reveal this particular detail to him at you know At whichever point of time God had appointed for him to know this in the same way for us There are greater revelations ahead But all those revelations will are all dependent on us Creating the time to go and sit in his presence. It's not just going to happen We have to create the time and if we do that He is ready and waiting and he will be very Intentional in what he reveals to us what we require what revelations we need for our personal life for our family For our ministry those are the things that he would reveal to us. So Here we see him promising Nathaniel that much greater things are going to be coming And there's a term that Jesus uses over here in referring to himself.  He's using a technical term He's referring to a prophecy about the son of man, which was made You know by Daniel So that is the son of man that he's talking about it's not just talking about any human being who's just a son of man He's talking about the son of man who was prophesied about in Daniel chapter seven versus 13 and 14 But son of man, he is going to become the link between heaven and earth He is the one through whom the angels will go and do their ministry So let's turn to Daniel chapter 7. Let's look at verses 13 and 14 if we can have someone read out for us, please Daniel 7 13 and 14 Daniel 7 13 and 14 I was watching in the night regions and behold one light the son of man Coming with the clouds of heaven. He came to the ancient of days and they brought him near before him Ben to him was given Dominion and glory and a kingdom that all people's nations and languages should serve him His dominion is an everlasting dominion Which shall not pass away and his kingdom the one which shall not be destroyed now people like Nathaniel and The other disciples who know who were preparing themselves for the Messiah and The Pharisees and all the religious leaders would be very familiar with these verses So they would know that one day this Messiah is going to come and he would be the son of man Not just a son of man But the son of man the one who would go before and stand before the ancient of days and Receive all authority and glory and sovereign power This is the son of man who would rule over all the nations and everyone would bow down before him And he would have everlasting dominion over all of them They knew that this is the Messiah who is going to be coming to them So whenever Jesus used the term son of man for himself, he was saying very openly I am that person that Daniel talked about he is saying this prophecy has been fulfilled in me So Nathaniel probably is familiar with his scriptures and therefore Jesus uses this term You know with him and scalls himself the son of man so that Nathaniel will be assured that yes He is indeed the person in whom the prophecy of Daniel has been fulfilled Now if you look over here, you know Generally the term Messiah by that by the time of these people by the time the Jesus time had come on the earth by that time this term Messiah had acquired a very Political overtone because for so many generations the people had been telling each other Messiah will come when he comes he will sit on the throne He will dethrone the Caesar Caesar who knows who has control over us right now So somewhere along the way they had decided that Messiah is equal to Political king they have they were not even willing to consider any other options But here when we when we look at this Daniel chapter 7 passage We see that it is Talking about an everlasting Dominion in the end times now. This is not something that the people have of that time You know of Jesus times would have caught they were thinking that this everlasting Dominion is going to happen right then and there, you know during their lifetime So Jesus chooses to use this term son of man Maybe you know to also indicate that this these are events which will take place at the end of time And not immediately right now. So right now is going to be more their lamb rather than this You know rather than this one who is going to have dominion over everyone. So The he is probably hinting at these things, you know, and whenever he uses the term son of man Referring to the end of time when the son of man will come with the clouds of heaven All right We will now move into chapter 2 and in chapter 2 John chooses to Place two events in front of us You know each of the gospel writers when they wrote their gospel Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. They arranged the events As they were led by the Lord to convey certain messages when we look at certain passages the way they are arranged It is because all of those particular passages are trying to bring out one central theme one central teaching So, you know when you're doing your bible study if you were to carefully observe that let us say, you know on that particular day You have decided that you're going to be studying John chapter 15 It would be interesting for you to just take a look at John chapter 14 And then look at also very briefly at chapter 16 just to see the flow of thought Because these writers every one of these gospel writers when they wrote They were inspired by the Holy Spirit to put down the events and the teachings in a certain order To convey something very clear and definite So It always helps when you are doing your personal bible study, you know during your personal devotions To focus of course on the passage which you have chosen for that day But also just quickly look at what is about look at what is below And you sometimes you will discover that there's a there's a flow of thought running through that entire passage and it kind of makes you Catch the broader perspective, you know, it's uh, so here He uh, John very specifically chooses to start off his description of Jesus ministry by mentioning two specific incidents the first of course is the Wedding feast where Jesus has you know gone as a guest So maybe we can have someone read out versus One two and three John chapter two If someone could read out for us the first three verses, please On the third day there was a wedding in Canada of Galilee and the mother of Jesus was there Now about Jesus and his disciples were invited to the wedding And when they ran out of wine the mother of Jesus said to him they had no wine Yeah, so um We are told that on the third day of the wedding the wine runs out No, uh for us today because especially maybe because of the expensive world that we live in For us the wedding ceremony is two hours At the most maybe five hours never goes beyond that. We simply couldn't afford the expenditure In those days a wedding would last seven days And now we see that only three days have gone by And the wine supply is already run out. It's a bit of a disgrace especially because wine had a kind of um symbolic significance During weddings. You see it was considered a symbol of joy. Okay, so, um, uh, you Generously give wine to your guests To kind of symbolize that this is an occasion of joy And there's going to be much joy in the couple in the life of the couple that has now come together And so it's all about celebration And expressing joy If your wine has run out, it's like as if you're saying, oh, okay, it's all done finished. No joy left. It's rather Bad symbolically for the couple. It's like as if you're saying, you know, uh Your the wine didn't even last throughout the festivities Goodness knows what's going to happen in the rest of your marriage, you know So because that wine is supposed to symbolize joy It symbolizes the celebration of something new and beautiful that is that god is doing in their lives So it it actually had symbolic meaning.  It's not just that There's more, um, you know in their culture it held And so, you know in our own nations, you know, when we have our wedding ceremonies, we have this certain features they hold some significance and if you disrupt that it kind of Casts a shadow on the entire ceremony, you know, so so this was something important for that particular family and So when the wine runs out, uh, you know Uh, Mary immediately comes to jesus, uh to ask for his help And then we see jesus response. Uh, so, uh, we can look at verses Four and five if we could have someone read out for us, please versus four and five Jesus said to her Woman, what is our cons your concern have to do with me?  We are showing respect so In the, um, you know a in those days When jesus used that term he was in no way being dishonorable. In fact, he was using a very respectable term Something that we would be could say is the equivalent of our current day ma'am. And so he uses that term And he says to her why are you getting me involved in this? Um, you know, this is not something that I should get involved in right now. Um So immediately when he responds that way Mary would have caught what he is saying Because you see at home he addresses her as Mother No, that's the term that he would use But here he is not addressing her as uh her son He's talking to her in his official capacity as the messiah And so there's immediately when he refers to her in this formal manner calling her ma'am Rather than calling her mama or mother or whatever he generally, you know refers to her as Immediately, she would have understood he now he is not speaking to me as my son He is now speaking to me in his official capacity in which god has sent him over here onto this earth And so in his official capacity jesus is saying this is not something that I should be getting involved in right now Why are you getting me? You know my because my hour has not yet come It's a divine timetable that has been set up And according to this divine timetable his public ministry is supposed to be beginning on a certain day And today is not that day And we look at uh mary's response She says to the servants do whatever he tells you she backs off She does not continue pressurizing him She understands that he's coming over here to the earth with a purpose He's going to be doing things his way God's way and she has no right to interfere in that So she just backs off she accepts whatever he has said in simple trust And she says to the servants he's going to tell you what to do whatever he says to do you just do that Because there's no pressure from her side. No saying, uh, you know, you know, you must provide the wine No, you must take care of this need. She Um submits in simple trust. Okay. So, um, this is something that we see Something that we can learn from when we place our requests before the lord And the lord, you know in case he says no Then I think the best response for us would be to just do whatever he says, you know Rather than pressurizing and saying no, no, I need to have it this way. No, you don't understand the circumstances are like this A cultural setting is like this that couple is going to be disgraced. No no arguments. No explanations She just backs off and she says Uh, to the servants, whatever he he considers best Whatever he says just do that and it's a very, uh Amazing response of trust And an amazing response of humility She's the woman who brought him up But now she backs off, you know, she doesn't say, oh, I'm your mother.  I carried you in the womb for nine months. What do you know what I went through?  She backs off and she says to the servants, let him decide Whatever he says, let that be done. No, so we see humility over here Accepting who she is that she is just a disciple And also the trust, the level of trust he will do what is right He will do what he considers best for the situation So she recognizes the fact that he does care about this family He is going to be concerned about them and he will do for them what he regards as best So she leaves it in his hands um And because of this level of trust which she has demonstrated and just saying do whatever he tells you Jesus Changes his divine timetable. It's amazing. I mean this lady She has submitted uh with such humility and trust that it moves the heart of God To change his divine timetable. Now, this is not the first time that it happens in scripture We see it happening, you know on different occasions in the Old Testament You know One example that we could take is of Nineveh, you know where In another 40 days according to the divine timetable judgment is supposed to come upon Nineveh but then Because those people repent and respond with humility and trust just like you know, Mary does over here The judgment gets delayed by another 150 years You know, so God changed his divine timetable around that particular occasion um And so in the same way we have different, uh, you know instances mentioned in the Old Testament Where God says I'm I will do this thing and then when the person, you know Thrice out to him and says lord, you know, give me another opportunity God chooses to change his divine timetable regarding those particular matters So here we see the same thing happening Now, this is something that Could happen even for us Are you willing to show that level of humility and trust? Where rather than arguing and saying lord, you don't understand the circumstances You don't know what we are facing over here. You don't know what is at stake rather than coming up with Silly absurd arguments like that If we can instead choose to be like Mary and say Whatever you say do whatever you consider best I leave it in your hands because I know that you're someone who can be trusted with my interests You will do what is best for me. You have that kind of a heart. I know your character lord So I choose to submit so when Mary adopted this attitude Jesus in fact changes his timetable and says, all right, you know, I'm going to get involved in this In this event which is taking place so Maybe we can read verses Six up to verse 10 Yeah, if we can have someone, you know, now we are kind of running out of time. So if someone could, you know, read quickly Verse six up to verse 10, please Now there was said there are six water pots of stone According to the manner of purification of the Jews containing 20 or 30 gallons of these Jesus said to them fill the water pots with water And they filled them up to the brim and he said to them Draw some out now and take it to the master of the feast and they took it When the master of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine And did not know where it came from But the servants who had drawn the water new the master of the feast called the bride room And he said to him Every man at the beginning sets out the good wine and when the guests have well drunk Then the inferior you have kept the good wine until now Yes So we see that Jesus takes the water which is available over there now. This is good water It's it's meant to be used for ceremonial washing So, you know, it has some kind of religious significance And so this is good water which is standing over there and Jesus uses that He turns it into wine. It's interesting that when he tells the servants to fill it up with water They are not the lazy type who just maybe fill up one fourth or even half These are see these seem to be sincere servants who actually take the effort to fill it up to the brim Because you see if they had only filled it up one fourth You would only have one fourth jar of wine On the other hand because they took the effort to fill it up to the brim Now you have a lot more wine available when the miracle happens So maybe one small learning from this you can take away Uh, you know, we say to the Lord do whatever, you know, whatever you want Whatever you tell us to do, we will do it Once we say that when the Lord asks us to do something How do we do it? Do we go all the way up to the brim? Or do we just do a little bit, you know and leave it at that The answer the miracle that we receive may actually depend on to what extent we did what he asked us to do So obedience becomes very important over here So when when we say to the Lord, I'm submitting to you. Whatever you want me to do I will do it when we say that and he tells us what we should do How do we do it? Are we going up to the brim because then the miracle that we receive will be greater Or are we doing it half-heartedly thinking what's going to be achieved by doing this? This is anyway not going to solve my problem if we go with that attitude and Do whatever he's telling us to do half-heartedly The miracle may be very very small and we would be the losers So, you know, that's one thing that maybe we can carry away from this but Coming to the next, you know Sentence which can which is which can be quite significant was 11 It says what Jesus did here in Canada of Galilee was the first of the signs Through which he revealed his glory And his disciples believed in him. So here it talks about how This became Jesus decides to, you know, move the entire timetable up a little bit and so he starts Doing his signs Signs which will indicate who he is. So he decides that this is going to be his first sign Through which he is going to reveal his glory and it's interesting that, you know, uh, this particular event reveals so much about his glory The water that was used to turn, you know into wine That actually was water used for ceremonial, you know, uh cleansing is what it mentions over there in the earlier verse So all these people were using that water most respectfully To wash their hands and feet Because the Pharisees, you know had given some kind of religious significance to that And so by doing that You would become as clean as the Pharisees on the outside you would be clean But on the inside, oh my Jesus says they are like Graves with rotting flesh on the inside, you know, so That is what those jars of water can do But now when Jesus turns that water into wine He is pointing to the day when his blood Will be, you know, uh, commemorated as, you know, wine during our communion And that wine It points towards the blood of Jesus which not only cleanses you on the outside But even it can cleanse you on the inside and make you into a new person Who can actually honor God and, you know, follow him So Jesus is revealing his glory at a very basic level by showing mercy to that family By showing that he can, you know, go against the laws of chemistry and physics and, you know Transform something in a matter of minutes into wine. Yes, or he's doing all of that He's revealing his glory at that level But he's also revealing his glory at a much higher level. He's saying when I shed my blood That is not just going to cleanse you on the outside the way the ceremonial purification cleanses you I can clean you right through Where every sin is forgiven and you are restored into a right relationship with God I have the power to do that and you will be commemorating this for many many centuries to come Where each time you drink wine, this is what you will be reminding yourselves of So there's a connection between what Jesus does over here and what he's going to accomplish later on on the cross We see that connection Now coming to the other event which is mentioned over here, you know, we are very familiar with that So I would just like to maybe bring out one or two points from that Story which would be in verses 13 to 17 Where it talks about how Jesus goes to the temple and he sees all these people sitting over there, you know, selling the The animals and the birds which will be used as sacrifices And there are also people sitting over there who will know do the money exchange Because people are going to be coming from different countries to, you know, give their sacrifices And so they would they would need to exchange their foreign currency with the local currency So all these people have settled down over there And because they have occupied the entire temple court The Gentiles are unable to come and stand over there and worship So if you look in the other gospels, uh, Matthew Mark and Luke, you know, if you look at the other gospels The emphasis is on that aspect Because all these people are merchants are sitting over there in the courtyard There is no place left for the Gentiles to come and stand over there quietly You know, in a in a humble manner and focus their thoughts on God How are you supposed to focus your thoughts on God when somebody is screaming next to you saying, you know, uh, This is the rate for my sheep. This is the rate for my doubts I mean, um, it's like they've turned it to into a marketplace So the other gospels emphasize that point where, uh, they have turned this house of prayer Into a marketplace and the Gentiles are unable to stand over there quietly and connect with the living God here John, um Places his emphasis on a slightly different aspect And when we look in John chapter two versus, uh, 16 and 17 This is what it says over there. It says to those who sold doubts. He said get these out of here Stop turning my father's house into a market His disciples remembered that it is written zeal for your house. Well, consume me. So over here John chooses to emphasize the other aspect where Jesus is offended that they are turning a holy place Into a commercial place Where money is what rules God doesn't matter money is what matters. So he says you are corrupting my father's house so both I mean the the other writers and John are bringing out different aspects of this of what has happened over here So if we can maybe, you know, just sum up and say Jesus is upset about two things One that the Gentiles will not be able to stand over there and connect with God the way they had hoped to do And the other aspect which John touches upon Jesus is angry that they have taken something so holy and sacred as the temple court And turned it into a market place where money is all that matters where his presence doesn't even matter You know, so he is angry with that and that is why he takes action against them. Um, and um Why does John choose this particular? Story because you see the Jews will ask him the question next They will say by whose authority are you doing this? You know all these years these people have been sitting over here and doing their you know selling Who are you to ask them to leave and Jesus explains and says, you know, what I am this temple Right now you're looking at one physical temple and considering it so great But I myself am the temple and so he goes on to say, you know This temple if it is destroyed it will I I will raise it up again in three days So he is basically saying to them. I am this temple. I am what this temple is all about And I have arrived And now I am going to set certain things in motion and it's all going to lead finally to redemption So he's publicly declaring and saying I performed a sign in canna To reveal my glory and now I am declaring to you my authority as well And so from now on the next chapter onwards We are going to be seeing his glory manifested in so many different ways And we are going to see his authority being declared in so many different ways Okay, so that's basically what this chapter two is all about so As nobody has posted any questions. Maybe we can close with the word of prayer Why don't you have any questions? It always makes it so interesting when people, you know, ask their doubts or when people just give their comments You know, they are things which they have wished to say regarding these verses But anyway, maybe we can do that next class So, uh, let's close with the word of prayer We thank you so much your lord for your for the learnings that we could Gather from your word today. Your word is so rich. Oh lord There's something significant that we can learn from every single verse We pray oh lord that we will not just be hearers of this But that lord we will apply these things to our own lives so that we will grow in our relationship with you Draw closer to you and see your glory manifested in our life and our situations Help us oh lord be with us and lord guide us. Thank you lord in jesus name amen Amen, thank you so much For logging in and staying up to the end and we'll meet again next class


The study examined how uropathogenic ischaricicoli, UPC, respond to stress and antibiotics in a human blood-a-chip model. The researchers found that UPC can survive antibiotic treatment by forming intracellular bacterial communities, IBCs. They also observed that the IBCs can persist even after antibiotic treatment, leading to reinfection. This suggests that IBCs may be responsible for the persistence of UPC infections.

Yeah, we on boss talk one-on-one. Yeah, we gonna check it man My boss y'all come from say cheese TV is in the building. How you doing man? Man, man, it's been a minute man.

I went downtown to the grand opening man Shout out to you and Barry man. Yeah, man. Y'all boys man. I was impressed man And the line made me think about New York when we be out there. I was like, these names got a line Call you a day.  I thought little pieces on but you know, that's just the style right now But break down to me the whole process of what made you even just get into retail, you know should I always wear vintage clothing and You know, I met my partner at a vintage swap meet that he put together and then he wanted to do one big event I'm like hell nah, like Forget the event. Let's do a store.  He was a fantasy cheese. So we got it a little bit cheaper than what it was And it was the first vintage store in deep Ellum. So of course, they didn't mind. Are you more hands-on with this business?  I don't like to be looked at as a bank I'm an entrepreneur.

Hi friends, welcome back to my channel and welcome back to another WW Weekly Meal Prep. I am so excited to share these recipes with you guys. Everything is so good, so indulgent, but it is all WW friendly, so that is amazing. You're gonna see my breakfast, my lunch, and a sweet treat that is moving us into the direction of fall, which is my favorite time of year. So if you wanna see what's on my plan for this week's Meal Prep, then all you have to do is keep on watching. For my breakfast this week, I'm so excited. I am making chocolate chip cookie dough overnight oats. I haven't made overnight oats in a while. We're rounding out summer. It just sounded like a good cold breakfast. I'm also going to pair this with some scrambled eggs. So let me show you what you're going to need for our overnight oats. So of course, you're going to need a container of some sort, whether it's a ball jar or just a container to prepare your overnight oats in. Oatmeal, you can either use old-fashioned oats or quick cook oats, whatever your preference is. I find that old-fashioned oats just keep me full longer than quick cook. So I'm gonna go ahead and use the old-fashioned milk. So I'm gonna do card master. You could also do almond milk or coconut milk, one of those. Any type of brown sugar alternative. So I'm gonna be doing sucran gold, mini chocolate chips, vanilla, Greek yogurt, and then peanut butter of some sort. So you could do PB2 or any type of peanut butter or powdered peanut butter. So that is what is in our oats. So let's get started. So let's start putting together our oats. So what I have here is about a quarter cup of my fat-free milk. We only need enough liquid to fill the jar. So a quarter of a cup should be pretty good for that. Also a heaping tablespoon of your brown sugar alternative. Again, I am using the sucran gold. Also a heaping quarter cup of oats. I measured out a quarter cup of my mini chocolate chips. This will get divided into all five of our overnight oats. I also mixed together one tablespoon of PB2 and some water and you do want this somewhat liquidy because it is going to be part of the liquid of your overnight oats. And lastly, you'll need your container of your Greek yogurt. We're gonna use just a little bit over half of a container per overnight oat. So let's get together these oats, it sounds amazing. So I'm gonna first start with my yogurt and I'm gonna put that into the bottom and that way my oats and everything don't stick to the bottom of my jar. So I'm adding in a little bit of my yogurt, a little over half of my yogurt container. So I have that here in the bottom of my jar. To that, I'm gonna go ahead and add my tablespoon of PB2. Yum, you guys, this is already looking so good. I'm so excited. And then I have my heaping tablespoon of my sucran gold. My overnight, or I'm sorry, my oats, my quarter cup, heaping quarter cup of oats. Now, once you get to this stage, your jar is getting a little full. So we are gonna take a spoon and we're just gonna give it kind of a quick stir. You can even add a little bit of your milk to get a little bit of the liquid in there. And then we're just going to stir this, make sure everything gets nice and combined. You do want to have some liquid in your jar in order for your oats to soak that up as it sits in the refrigerator. So a quarter of a cup of milk is pretty close to what you're gonna want to get that right consistency of your oats. So you can see here that I have my milk in there. I'm just kind of stirring, making sure that the peanut butter and everything gets mixed in really well to my oats. And then I'm going to add to the top the best part, just a little bit of my little chocolate chips. Again, we're dividing that out evenly into five jars. So look at this, you guys. Chocolate chip cookie dough overnight oats. So all we're gonna do at this point is put our lid on and it's ready to go into our refrigerator for the next day. So let's put together four more of these. So our overnight oats are done and you can't really see the chocolate chips but they are on top. These you guys look so delicious. I cannot wait to have these. So let's scramble up some eggs so we can add a little protein with our overnight oats. So with my oats, I'm gonna have some scrambled eggs.  To my eggs, I'm going to add the Trader Joe's onion salt, my very favorite thing in eggs and I'm also going to add in just some black pepper. So let's scramble up some eggs. So my eggs are cooking and then as soon as these are nice and scrambled up, we're gonna put these into our little to go containers and I'll show you guys what my whole entire completed breakfast prep looks like and give you the smart points. So here is my breakfast for the week. I am really excited about this week's breakfast. So I have my chocolate chip cookie dough overnight oats. So each one of my overnight oats is a total of eight smart points. So it is a little bit high but that's because you have Greek yogurt, you have PB2 chocolate chips but it's okay to have an eight smart point main portion of a meal if you pair it with zero point foods. So I'm going to have my egg. So I have one whole egg and some egg whites, five of those scrambled up and then we're gonna have some grapes for zero. So even though our overnight oats are a little bit high, if you wanna modify it to lower the points, please, by all means, but I'm okay with eight points for my oats and then zero points for my eggs and my grapes. So my breakfast is a total of eight smart points. For lunches this week, I'm gonna be making tomato basil Parmesan meatballs. I cannot wait. I'm gonna roast up some potatoes and have some Brussels sprouts. So let me show you what is in this week's lunch. So first you're going to need some milk. I'm gonna be using the carb master milk. You could substitute almond milk if that's what you have on hand. Italian style breadcrumbs, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, 96 for extra lean ground beef, sun-dried tomatoes, make sure you get the ones that are not packed in oil and they are zero smart points, fresh basil and eggs. And then I'm gonna have Brussels sprouts. These are just the frozen ones from Trader Joe's, 99 cents a bag. I love these Brussels sprouts. They are delicious. So I'll be having those and then I'm gonna be roasting some potatoes, probably in my air fryer, I think is what I'm gonna do while my meatballs are cooking and I'm gonna be doing these petite medley. They're just yellow, purple and red potatoes. So let's get started on this week's lunch. The first thing we need to do for our meatballs is chop. So I'm gonna go ahead and cut up my basil, pop it into a little bowl. I'm going to just dice up my sun-dried tomatoes into smaller pieces, put it in a bowl and slice my potatoes in half and we'll put them in a bowl. And then I'll show you how I'm going to season those. So let's get chopping so we can start these meatballs. Now we're ready to put together our meatballs. So I have my one pound of 96-4 extra lean ground beef. I went ahead and added it to a bowl. This is so easy. Everything goes into one bowl and that's what you're gonna make your meatballs out of. So definitely a fairly easy meal prep, a quick and easy. So I have my one pound of hamburger. To that I'm going to add one quarter cup of Parmesan cheese. Now I have this bigger chunked Parmesan. I did kind of break it up a little bit, but I'm okay with big chunks of cheese. And then I'm also going to add a quarter cup of my carb master milk. My chopped basil, which is about a quarter of a cup. I didn't measure, I love basil. So in my opinion, the more the better. Also two cracked eggs and my sun dried tomatoes. Again, I didn't measure, I just did about half of that full package of them. You can do them to your liking more, less. And then one half of a cup of Italian breadcrumbs. And last but certainly not least, three cloves of garlic. So we're gonna go ahead and add all of that. And then we're just gonna take our spoon and give it a nice stir, get everything nice and combined together with your hamburger. And then we'll be ready to roll these into meatballs and we'll get these into the oven. But the smell of this is already making me excited for lunch this next week. We're ready to put together our meatballs. So I have a pan here with foil sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. And then I also have my meat mixture. It looks so good. Get ready guys, we're gonna use our hands to put together our meatballs. So I want about 10 meatballs. I'm going for five servings of the meatballs. So I can have one serving each day for my lunch. But look at this, yum. It's loaded with cheese and sundry tomatoes and basil. I'm really excited. So I'm gonna go ahead and roll out my meatballs. Again, I'm shooting for 10. And then we're gonna get this in the oven at 375 until our meatballs are cooked all the way through. And in the meantime, we'll put together our potatoes and get those into our air fryer. All right guys, here's our meatballs. These look amazing. These are gonna go in the oven at 375 and let's put together our potatoes. So for our potatoes, you saw me go ahead and cut these in half. To season these, I'm going to be using the Parmesan garlic mix from Walmart. It's delicious, it's zero points. So what I'm going to do is take some nonstick cooking spray and I am going to really kind of get my potatoes wet, essentially, with the nonstick cooking spray. That's just gonna help that garlic Parmesan mix stick just a little bit better to my potatoes. And it also does help them brown in the air fryer as well. So my potatoes are good. Let's add in our Parmesan mix. This is literally so easy and it is so delicious. The potatoes get that crispy, cheesy coating to them. Yum, so good. So just make sure that you get your potatoes as covered with the Parmesan mixture as you can. Generally, I do have a little bit left over in the bottom of my bowl. You can kind of see down there there's just a lot of extra. And depending on the amount of potatoes or whatever you're using this seasoning for, you do sometimes have a little bit extra. And then although I have the oven air fryer, my air fryer also has a basket so I can cook in the basket as well. So I'm gonna go ahead and just gently spray the bottom of my air fryer basket. And I'm just going to put my potatoes in there. Try not to get all that extra powder. It's just gonna go through the bottom of your air fryer baskets. Lay those out as even as you can in a single layer, just like you would in any type of basket air fryer. And this is actually what was left in my bowl. So there is a little bit of the garlic parm mixture. And there we have it. I'm gonna get this into my air fryer. We'll get these nice and cooked and crispy. So I have my basket here in my air fryer. I just removed the little handle and I'm just gonna put it onto the bottom of my air fryer. And again, we're gonna go ahead and bump this up to 400 just because the potatoes will get a little bit more crispy that way. And I'm gonna put it at 20 minutes, but I will check it about halfway through. And my air fryer does have a light which is really nice because then you can kind of see your food cooking along in your air fryer. So potatoes are in, meatballs are in, and I'll be back to show you our completed lunch. Sorry for my air fryer noise in the background, but I just pulled out my meatballs, you guys. These smell so incredibly delicious. Look at that cheese and tomato and basil, yum. So I'm gonna let these cool for just a couple minutes while my potatoes finish cooking and then we'll assemble our meal prep. Right, so my lunch is ready. So let's walk through what I'm having for lunch. So first I have three of the meatballs. These are the tomato, basil, Parmesan meatballs using 96 for extra lean ground beef, three meatballs, three smart points. You can't beat it. And these are good sized meatballs.  So I'm gonna be having three meatballs. I have one serving of the roasted potatoes with the garlic Parmesan mix. That is three smart points. Also I have some frozen Brussels sprouts. I'll simply warm those up, add a little bit of spray butter, salt and pepper, and that is zero. And then way over here, I have a big bowl of watermelon and every day I will have some watermelon as my fruit with lunch. So my entire lunch prep is three for the meatballs, three for the potatoes. So this entire delicious filling lunch is only six smart points. First we treat this week for myself and my husband. By the way, he is so excited about this. I am going to be making pumpkin snickerdoodles. These are cookies, legit snickerdoodles with pumpkin and wait until you hear the smart points. So let me show you what is in our pumpkin snickerdoodles. So first you're going to need some baking blend or some sort of sugar alternative. So I'm just going to use stevia in the raw. Also for brown sugar, I'll use sucran gold, regular flour. It calls for one egg, I am out of eggs so I'm just going to sub egg whites. You can definitely do that in recipes, you won't even know the difference. For spices, I have some ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and then of course pumpkin pie spice. It does want you to add in all the pumpkin spice components, but if you just use the pumpkin pie spice, everything's already in there. So I'm going to be using Dax. Dax is my all-time favorite seasoning in the entire world. They have over 20 different seasonings. They all contain zero salt. They're all natural, no MSG, amazing flavor. I mean, amazing flavor with no salt. So if you are looking to watch your salt but you don't want to miss the flavor, definitely recommend Dax. I do have a 10% discount code. I will put it here on the screen. Click the link down in the description box, enter my code and voila, you can buy Dax for 10% off and free shipping. So with fall coming, me and Dax pumpkin spice are going to be BFFs. So that is going to be going into my cookies. Of course, some canned pumpkin, baking soda, cornstarch, light butter, and last but not least, vanilla. And if you didn't see my grocery haul, Trader Joe's vanilla is my favorite. They just changed this to a glass bottle and it is now four ounces for $9.99, which is a steal. So if you have a Trader Joe's near you, highly recommend. So let's get started on our pumpkin snickerdoodles. So let's get started on our snickerdoodles. So to my bowl, I'm gonna put in my wet ingredients. So I have one egg worth of egg whites. I also have one cup of the, I can't believe it's not butter light. And you can really use any butter you want. You would just have to recalculate your points if you do go with a non-light butter. And then I have three quarters of a cup of canned pumpkin. And a tip for pumpkin is do not buy the can that says pumpkin pie filling because it is loaded with sugar. Make sure that you buy the one that is just pumpkin puree like I did just canned pumpkin. And then I'm also going to add about a teaspoon of my delicious vanilla extract. And then I'm gonna take my hand mixer here and I'm just gonna mix this for just a second to get everything combined. After you've mixed your butter, pumpkin, and vanilla and egg together, we're gonna add in our dry ingredients. So I have three quarters of a cup of sucran gold. I have one teaspoon of baking soda. I have three and a half teaspoons of cornstarch. Now I do not have any cream of tartar and the recipe does call for that. I swore I had it. And then when I looked at my spice cupboard, nothing. So I would recommend adding the cream of tartar as the recipe suggests as well. I also have one and a quarter cup of my Splenda baking blend. I'm going to add a little bit of ground ginger. I really like the ginger taste in pumpkin spice anything. And there is ginger in the Dax. I'm just adding a little extra. So then I'm gonna really pump up the flavor here with the Dax pumpkin spice. I'm telling you, you guys, this is hands down the best pumpkin spice seasoning ever. I mean, it is amazing. And then I'm going to slowly add in my three and a quarter cups of flour.   Wow. All right. So we're going to mix in the last little bit of our flour here and then we'll be ready to scoop our cookies onto our cookie sheet. I just want to tell you, I tried just a tiny bit of the dough off of the mixer blade and it is so good, you guys. That Dax pumpkin spice is a game changer. I mean, it adds so much delicious, incredible flavor. So I'm going to get this finished mixed together and we'll get these cookies in the oven. So I reread my instructions, which is always a good thing to do. And they do want you to chill your dough for about 45 minutes. So I'm actually going to put this in the refrigerator, let this chill and then we will bake our snickerdoodles. So it's been about 40 minutes on our cookie dough. So I'm going to mix together some monk fruit sweetener. Oh, I haven't even opened this one yet. Good to know. I'm going to mix together some monk fruit, which is basically a sugar alternative in a bowl here. Just enough, we want to be able to roll our cookies in this. So I have some monk fruit and then I'm also going to just add in a little bit of cinnamon.  So just kind of mix together some sugar and some cinnamon and I'm going to pull my dough out of the oven or fridge and we'll put together our snickerdoodles. Here is our cookie dough. It looks so good. We have our cinnamon and sugar mixture as well. And then I went ahead and just lined a baking sheet with some foil, pulled out my cookie scoop. I did buy these cookie scoops off of Amazon. They come in a three pack. There's a large, a medium and a small. We are trying to get, let's actually do this. That might be better. There we go. We're trying to get 36 cookies. So I'm betting that they're going to have to be kind of fairly small. So I'm going to scoop out the dough, roll it, and then I'm going to roll it here in my sugar and cinnamon mixture. And then we're going to go ahead and put it here on our baking sheet. Give it a quick kind of push down just so that they flatten out during the baking process. Yum. So let's get our 36 cookies rolled out, rolled in sugar and cinnamon, and as many as we can fit onto our baking sheet. So the first batch of our pumpkin snickerdoodles are out of the oven.  It smells like fall and pumpkins and all my favorite things. So I am going to transfer these here to my cooling rack and get another batch into the oven. I'll be back to show you all of our completed cookies and give you the smart points.  These are delicious. I just had one as part of a snack and I'm telling you, these are absolutely outstanding. That sugary cinnamon outside is so good. They are super soft and chewy, absolutely delicious. So each one of our pumpkin snickerdoodles is only two smart points. You can have an entire cookie for two smart points. Highly recommend making this recipe. Thank you for joining me on another WW Weekly Meal Prep. You guys, those overnight oats, so good. So incredibly worth every single point and my lunch is amazing. I, that is the kind of lunch that is not only satisfying but so filling that it prevents snacking in the afternoon, keeps you satisfied, gives you your protein, your carb, your vegetable, totally well balanced. And let's talk for a minute about this pumpkin snickerdoodles. Those are incredible, so good. I took some to my real estate office and they loved them.

In this presentation, we will take a look at tests of details transactions related to the accounts payable cycle. So the accounts payable cycle test of details transactions, looking at the assertion of completeness, assertion of completion. The auditor should conduct a search of unrecorded liabilities that include the following. So completeness of course being that assertion that we want to make sure that everything that should have been recorded is recorded. In other words, are the end results done in the financial statements? Is everything on the financial statements? Are they complete? In other words, are there transactions that have happened that are not reflected in the financial statements in the end result? So how do we test for this? Inquirer management about control activities designed to identify unrecorded liabilities and accruals at the end of the accounting period. The controls would be part of the closing process. Vouch large dollar items from the purchases journal and cash disbursements journal for a period of time after year end. Now remember what we have here is after year end because we're doing the audit as of the let's say 1231 the year in let's say is 1231. Of course, we are doing the audit at some point after that point in time. So if we're testing something, we can actually take a look at some of the transactions that happen after the year has closed and use them as part of our testing process, examine the data on each receiving report of vendor invoice to see if the liability relates to the current audit period. So we're going to take the information and we're going to look at the data that should be used in order to determine when something should be recorded. In this case, that being the receiving report. Why? Because the receiving reports usually going to be that item before talking about purchases that we actually received the item. So we want to see if that's the point in time that the item was actually put on the books. Was it put on the books in the correct time period? It should be put on the books in accordance with the receiving reports. We want to see what's the triggering factor as to when the items going to be put on the books in the accounting system and then basically double check those and we can do that by looking at some of the transactions after the end of the time period and checking to see if it has indeed been recorded at the time period it should have. That being the time period the receiving report happened. We want to examine files of unmatched purchase orders receiving reports and vendor invoices for in any unrecorded liability. Next assertion related to test of details of transactions is existence with existence. Auditors primary worry is whether the recorded liabilities are valid obligations of the entity. So the recorded liability on the books are they valid liabilities of the entity. Now again you would think that with regards to liabilities they wouldn't overstate the liabilities but that's basically what we're testing for with regards to existence because you would think if they were overstating liabilities they wouldn't typically do that intentionally. It might be an error possibly to overstate the liabilities but you would think that you wouldn't intentionally overstate the liabilities usually because that would make you look worse. The only time that that might happen generally is if there's something for tax reasons or something like that but typically we would think that if there was going to be some type of intentional misstatement they would usually be trying to look better not not worse. Auditors should vouch a sample of items on the listing of accounts payable to the supporting documentation. So we're going to take the information from the end result then existence we're talking about here and then we're going to vouch it back to the source documentation and that'll help us to be able to see if the end result what's on the books actually happened. So we're going to take the end result and then go back to the past. Next we have the assertion with relation to the test of details of the cutoff. So recall that the cutoff is typically going to be that year-end type of information or things properly recorded in the proper time period. Auditor will try to determine if all purchase transactions are recorded in the correct period. For most audits the purchase cutoff line up with the entity's physical inventory count. So we're going to basically line this up when we're going to do it with the physical inventory count and that will typically happen somewhere close to basically the year-end so that we can check that the physical inventory what's on the books as we go out and check the physical inventory is indeed present at that point in time. Proper cutoff should also be determined for purchase return transactions so we also want to consider the cutoff with regards to purchase returns. Next we'll take a look at test of details transactions with regards to rights and obligations, the assertion of rights and obligations. The risk is small related to this assertion because entities generally do not have an incentive to record liabilities that are not obligations of the entity. So usually when we're considering the rights and obligations with regards to liabilities again the assertion normally the company wouldn't try to look worse most of the time and therefore it's not an assertion that's as high of a priority with regards to liabilities typically. Next we're going to take a look at the assertion of accuracy, valuation and allocation. Accounts payable should be recorded at either the gross amount of the invoice or net of the cash disbursement amount. Valuation of accruals depends on the type and nature of the accrued expenses most accruals are fairly easy to value. Next we'll take a look at the assertion of classification. The primary issues with regards to classifications with the test of details of transactions are find and reclassify any material debits contained in accounts payable. So we're going to go through the accounts payable the detail of accounts payable if there are debit balances in the accounts payable balances then it shouldn't be the case that we should have a debit balance in accounts payable something kind of funny possibly happened at that point in time and we'd want to remove any debit balances in the accounts payable.
