My concern for the church at large, where I think my brother said
something so brilliant, I'm weary and tired as I travel through 40, 50
nations where the American gospel has caused so much damage that the man
has become the center of the people of God. I think if you remove the
pulpit and the expert explanations, and somehow his humility, his
demeanor and the word of God and sacrament portrays him. He sits on the
throne.

And finally, you find two significant passages, Isaiah 6, where nobody's
important, the one who sits on the throne. Revelation 4 and 5, the lamb
that sits on the throne after he was slain, and everybody falls down and
worship him. I think we have become helpers of trying to define the
gospel when Jesus says, come to me.

And the disciples, young people, we are not pointing people to him, but
the gospel is such that how can I be a moral, nice, upright person,
great family, health and wealth, and finally go to heaven? And that is
not Christ. And somehow we need to rediscover the only thing that
matters is the Lord Jesus Christ. And for him, I renounce my sin.

For him, I'm willing to die. And that's all I look for. And I'm so
concerned about the shepherds and teachers in our church that do not
know him.

They do not know him. They do not know him.
