Before we start.
OK, we're going by we just get thanks for the time we've had together over yesterday before, umm, to be hearing your word and thank you this morning for the time you have any songs and, uh, if any song your word to memory and, umm.
00:20:15
Great for help now and umm, a little more time over your word and.
Leaders, we remember you and your love for us and your death for us. You should ask for your help. Thank you for loving us and dying for us.
I want to talk a little bit today of surprises.
You guys like surprises, yeah.
Where we surprised somebody else?
That's not fair. I always knew I was going to talk about prices because it's not. There's a long message.
Umm, I should try some features. Oh, so like, that's surprising.
Sorry.
I was thinking about surprises. I've had a few surprises over the last month.
And the first surprise I had was.
Five months ago, with my birthday, my wife surprised me and bought me an airplane station to go see my family and see them in a long time.
I was surprised and I got a plane and flew back to Montreal where my dad and my sister lived.
And I got to see them. That was a nice surprise.
And then when we were driving from the airport to my dad's house, we had to make a quick stop, so I said we could get something.
And I went to help her get something. And then there's another surprise.
My friend asked me a long time. OK, I'm in the room real nice Friday, so those are good surprises. I got to see some people that I love that I hadn't seen for a long time. I got to see my dad that I talked to on the phone, but I don't see you very much. And my sister.
That reminded me that there's good surprises that are waiting for us.
And that I'm going to just read a verse that talks a little bit about that, and it's in First Corinthians.
I think maybe.
Yeah, First Corinthians chapter 2.
And verse 9.
As it is written, I have not seen nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man the things that God is prepared for them to love you.
Oh, there's. Haven't seen, haven't really even heard about.
Can't even imagine what God is prepared to reveal them unto us that we that we get to know God better and better and the Lord Jesus better. We get a little bit more ideas, but what heaven might be like we don't really know.
That was a little bit of a reminder for me. That might be what heaven's like. That was my father there that I talked to on the phone, but I don't see very much.
And that's kind of like my Heavenly Father. I talked to him, but I don't really see him.
And I'll talk to him, and there'll be people there that I haven't seen for a long time that I love, that will be there. And it'll be a nice surprise. No matter what we think we know about it, how we try to think what it might be like, it's gonna be a good surprise. So much better than.
What we think, you know, we get kind of comfortable down here. We have our friends and, and maybe your dog and we have our room just the way we like it and everything is pretty comfortable. We're not, we're not too stressed out. We don't have too much going on. And we know that heaven is going to be wonderful because the Lord Jesus is there and he loves us, but we don't really know what it's gonna be like. We might get kind of.
Nervous that we don't. We don't know what it's gonna be like, and once we get there, we're there for eternity. And what if I don't like it? But I'm sure.
From reading the Bible and from what I know about the Lord of Jesus, that we're gonna let you think of the best surprise that you've ever had in a day. We're all just the best days. That I'd be OK if this thing never ended and I could just stay here and keep doing what I'm doing. That's not even close to how amazing it happens to be like for us.
The Lord loves us and, and, and the gift, the Bible says, uh, talking about the Lord's love and and giving.
00:25:10
US.
Us who are evil know how to get good gifts how much more and bother him. So best thing that we could ever imagine doing for someone that we love having to be much, much better than that.
So we wanna make sure that everybody is ready who knows how to get there. But last week I had a different kind of surprise.
This wasn't that good of a surprise.
On Friday last Friday, I had a job interview.
You guys were at a job interview?
No, I didn't think so. Some people on this side of the island had job interviews.
I haven't had too many job interviews. I'm a Carpenter, so I build houses.
And I had one job interview when I was 15 or 16, and it was Mr. McCann, her son that I was working for. He wanted to know if I had a car, if I would get there on time, if I'd like to come to work or if I'd like to take these off and if I knew how to push groom.
Had a car and I could get to work and I could withdraw so I had stuff and.
And I worked for a few different companies and umm, I learned more, more. And then I would have another job interview and it would be in the front of a pickup truck. And they wanna know if I could swim hammer and if I could get the nail when I swung the hammer. And if I had a car, I'd be like, we can work on that. Or if I like, take things off. So I had two job interviews like that, but last Friday was a different job.
Sometimes I like my job, but sometimes I'll see a job that I would call a long shot and I will send in an application because you never know.
So on Friday I had a job interview and I wear my best seated clothes and I had to sit across the table from a few people that were also wearing their best knitting clothes. And they worked for the government indirectly, and they had some harder questions for me. And so I sat through them and I answered the questions and I answered some questions pretty good.
Thanks. And some questions I didn't know the answer to. They wanted to know if I knew something. Some of the things I did know, some of the things I didn't know.
They wanted to know what I would do in this situation.
And they said.
Thank you and.
We'll call you. So I went home for the weekend and I was thinking.
Well, I wish I'd answered that a little better, but I think this one I answered pretty good. Umm, I wonder what that like. I may have a chance. I think I did. I did all right on that question and umm, I got it. It'd be nice. I don't have to work outside in the cold city inside and look out the window and you know it's gonna be outside working with snow we kind of see.
Then on Monday I got an e-mail from the man I got an interview with, he said. Dear Mr. Martin, don't think I need to tell you that your interview went or.
Oh, that was a bad surprise.
All weekend I was thinking.
I'm sure the questions I got wrong weren't nearly as important as the questions I got right.
Probably. In the end of the day, I probably did OK. The things I did right, I'm sure were more important than things I didn't know. On Monday I got an e-mail and said Nope.
We've unanimously decided to move on to the next candidate.
Is that a good surprise or a bad surprise?
That's that's not thankful, that's not the end of the story. It has this whole other half, but it doesn't matter. But I had the whole weekend where I thought and did pretty good and all the bad things I did. I'm sure it didn't really matter. And all the good things I did I'm sure is what they were really concerned about.
And on Monday I found out it was probably the office.
And all the stuff I answered wrong or poorly was the stuff that would really work. And all the stuff I answered right probably didn't matter that much Now. It made me think that that's the way a lot of people go through the whole their whole life to think, man, all the stuff I do wrong.
Doesn't really matter and all this company right will make up for all this. Definitely wrong and I'm sure at the end of the day hugging it in heaven.
And there's some people that are gonna have a bad surprise.
For some people, we wanna make sure nobody in this room is surprised. That way we wanna make sure that you know how to get to heaven. That's why we have Sunday school and gospel meetings. And Mr. Roach had a meeting last night.
00:30:05
We talked about that people try to balance all the good things to do with all the bad things they do, and in the end, it doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is that you accept the Lord uses what your Savior. And accepting the Lord Jesus as your Savior is even one of the good things you do that goes on the pile to balance out the bad things you do. That's the only thing that matters, what you can do.
And that's why we had meetings. We wanna make sure that everybody understands how to get to heaven. And then by accepting the Lord, you just love you and we love you enough. Go to the cross and die for you. Take all your sins and say I will pay the price for all of those sins. I will go.
I'll He was treated very badly, you know, he was killed because he loved us so as you.
Get older, it's gonna be easier and you're gonna.
Do it more often than probably. Just do the best you can and try your hardest and eventually it'll even out. As long as you're a nice person that'll make up for all the best things you do and so I will have no choice but to let you. Such a nice guy. That's not how it works in the Bible.
So that's why that was.
Reminded me that there's gonna be some people.
That have a very bad surprise, but you don't need to worry that.
You're gonna have a bad price. You don't have to think. Well, I, I hope I did enough things after I tested the working system. And boy, I hope when it comes back, I hope I can go. You don't have to worry. The only thing that you have to think about is to accept the Lord Jesus as your savior, that he loves you very much. He died on the cross escape.
And all he wants you to do is to love.
Now, now we can do all kinds of nice things and the Lord has all sorts of things for us to do that afterwards he has, uh, planned for everybody. You might be part of it. You might have a friend that you need to tell about the Lord. You might have someone you have to help. He says the Lord, he just loved you. He left somebody else. But the 1St and the most important thing that you.
Not interested in in going our own way to look down on your creation and your system to give your Son to he must. Lord Jesus, thank you for loving us and for going across the sailor. We just addressed the issue.
