Right, right. So that's an interesting part there. And there are a number of other things that make this gospel unique that people are going to run into. And that's kind of one of the challenges that I would encourage people to do is that as they read through it with you, to make note of the first half, the identity of Jesus. Just mark or underline, highlight, if you will, the identity of Jesus.

And then after that, to the end of the gospel, the mission of Jesus. So those are two things that people can really focus on. By the way, he's also the only one who identifies himself as the author.

Yeah, that's so funny you mention that, because when I read that years ago, I always thought it was reverse psychology. You know, you say, don't tell anybody about this, knowing they're going to open their mouth, you know.

Right. But I think that one of the reasons is that there is a timing to everything in Jesus' life, and that he is revealing himself first to his disciples and to those around them. and laying the foundation down as to who he was. And there is a time, there's a time for everything in his life.

And the real proclamation of his kingdom and who he was, was through the disciples, but that would come after the resurrection. that would be premature to suddenly the Romans and everybody else to say, hey, this guy is really a great king, like the Maccabean revolt or David, you know, and to establish him as a king, renewing the kingdom that had kind of gone silent for years.

And his kingdom was not like that. And his kingdom was different to the kingdom of heaven. And so it was all in the timing, I believe, of that.

And it speaks to, I think, the fact that he's in control of the narrative. He is not allowing the public narrative to define his kingdom or when he should rise or what he should do. He is in control of that. And you and I are both Mac fans. I mean, we use Macintosh. We have for years. A lot of people have iPhones.
