Yeah. And what's crazy is by Jesus' death on a tree, it becomes the tree of life because he forgave us of our sins. It's now dealt with, which then removed the power of all these idols because you're... That's causing sinful behavior because you're bowing down to a God that's not God. That's right.

And so by death, he conquered that, and it became a tree of life for us that produced a flood of image-bearing people. which is crazy. So that's kind of the overall narrative of why he said that. It's not a complex thing. It's a thrilling thing that he's introducing here.

It's still an overflow. It just keeps coming. God was trying to reach the nations, and he's going to do it through Jesus Christ and what he accomplished. And then you receiving as humans... The spirit of him that did what he's doing. Because you've got to remember, Jesus is full of the Holy Spirit here. And what's the first thing that happened? Mary's baptized. The spirit descends on him.

No, I agree. Right. So to get back to where we're reading, and I'll just read it, and we'll get into the details, because we went to the end, and now we're going back. Verse 18 of John 7. He who speaks on his own does so to gain honor for himself, but he who works for the honor of the one who sent him is a man of truth. There's nothing false about him, which he's talking about himself.
