The title for today's message from which we will all receive grace is the precious blood of the Lord's cross is the blood of the final judgment. The precious blood of the Lord's cross is the blood of the final judgment.
And now at this time we will hear the video sermon of our founding pastor. And I hope you receive much grace. For today's title you can write down The precious blood of the Lord's cross is the blood of the final judgment.
>> I will read Hebrews 12 verse 24. Start. and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks better than the blood of Abel. Look here, the blood of Jesus is the blood that speaks better than the blood of Abel. It is better than the blood of Abel. And it says the blood of Jesus is the blood that speaks better than the blood of Abel. And it says that the blood speaks.
>> We believe in Jesus. What do we believe? We believe in the cross and the resurrection. The Lord hung on the cross and shed his precious blood. The tree, the ground, and the blood of Jesus. All three of these are speaking. Therefore, there's no need to say, "My parents know I believe. My grandfather knows. The pastor knows. The elder knows. The church members know. My sons and daughters know that I believe. My wife knows. My husband knows." You don't need to say that.
In the last days, the precious blood of Jesus's Christ's cross will judge us all. Believed falsely, or you believed half-heartedly, or pretended to believe well, or you merely read the Bible without grasping the meaning hidden beneath the surface. Listen carefully, everyone. The Apostle Paul is the person who heard the voice of the blood of the cross. Therefore, to the Philippian believers in Philippians 3:7, he said, "But whatever things were gained to me, these things I have counted as loss for Christ." And so on. He only wanted to know the cross. And he told the Corinthians this. And this is also in 1 Corinthians 2 chapter 2:es 1-2. Please find it. 1 Corinthians chapter 2 vers 1-2. And even if you live, it's only 100 years. And whether you believe well or believe poorly, it's a 100 years. You have to think about what comes afterward. 1 Corinthians chapter 2 verse 1 and two.
>> Let's start. And when I came to you, brethren, I did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God. For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.
>> Look here. When you look at verse two, whether Apostle Paul was coming or going, standing or sitting up, eating or speaking, starving or whatever he was doing, his faith produced nothing but the fragrance of Jesus and nothing but the fragrance of Christ. So again, coming or going, standing or sitting up, eating or speaking, it was only about the fragrance of Christ. Nothing but the fragrance of Christ. And he said that he was determined to know nothing except Jesus and the cross. And wherever he went, they were the brands of the cross, signs of the cross. Wherever he went, he was a person who emanated the scent and fragrance of Jesus's blood.
Our fellow saints of Pangongj Church, I don't know how you have believed up to this day to become deacons, elders, pastors. But if you love God fervently with all your heart heart and all your soul and with all your mind, you cannot help but fervently love the Bible. You cannot help but read the Bible. And that is why in Revelations 1:3 it says that those who read the Bible, those who hear this word and those who live according to this word are blessed. So it is recorded that there are three blessings in Revelations 1:3. Those who hear the word, those who understand the word, and those who live by the word.
And wherever Apostle Paul went, he received 39 lashes, 40 lashes, less one, five times. And his whole body was covered in blood. And he was beaten within an inch of his life. They even tried to stone him to death. They thinking he was dead. They cast him out. He revived. Wherever he went, he testified of the cross. When you testify of the cross, >> the resurrection automatically follows. How can there be a resurrection without the cross? So therefore, first we must believe in the cross. And second, we must believe in the resurrection. And then what's the answer? It's eternal life. It's salvation.
When looking at him, we sing about the cross. the crosses and saying we're drawing near to the glorious cross or they're carrying the cross and yet we do not live a life of the cross at all and just looking at your husband's face just as you look at your child's face. You must look at the cross even more and more. And within that cross is my spouse. Within the cross is my wife. within the cross is my son-in-law and my my ancestors. Am I the one saying this? Apostle Paul confessed this long ago. So that is why he said I determined to know nothing except Jesus Christ and him crucified. And so with all what it's all learning genealogy and all knowledge without the cross it's nothing but dung. It's nothing but dung. You eat a good meal in the evening and go to the restroom in the morning. Have you ever seen anyone feel regret over that dung which came from meal costing tens of thousands of one? There's zero lingering attachment. You just completely evacuate it without regret. You just completely let it go and flush it away. And it was because they couldn't believe it that Paul said those words to the Corinthians.
The cross is so incredibly precious. The way of the cross is the path to heaven. It is life and it is the path where eternal life is promised. Peter made his confession of faith in Cesaria Philippi and Simon Barjonah. This what Christ said. If you what you open, no one can shut the gates of heaven. And if you shut it, no one can open. And because he finally made that confession, Jesus said, "I'm going up to Jerusalem, and I will be brutally beaten by pastors, elders, and many religious leaders, and I will die on the cross, and on the third day, I will rise again." And Peter was so utterly shocked and said, "What are you saying, Lord? Don't you have these 12 robust young men who serve as your assistants here to protect you? What kind of scoundrel scoundrel would kill you? Lord, never speak of such things again." So, how deeply loving and caring toward the Lord did those words sound. But Jesus says, "Satan, it wasn't a gesture to step to the front or to the side. It was an eternal separation. Get behind me. It means I have no use for someone like you." And he said, "You are not setting your mind on God's interests, but man's." And seeing Jesus command, "Get behind me, Satan." Peter was startled into repentance.
The cross is is an established fact. If Jesus had not hung on the cross and shed his blood, humanity could never receive the forgiveness of sins. Within the blood of the cross, there is authority, power, and might. And within there, there is the word of creation. Within the blood of the cross, there is the authority and power to lead from hell to heaven. Within the blood of the cross, there is reconciliation. There is love. And within the blood of cross, there is authority to raise the dead. Within the blood of the cross, there is daughter. Take courage. By my word, your sins are forgiven. This is precisely the blood of the cross. It is our strength.
For a person, blood is life. Try draining all the blood. You won't be able to speak. Look what happens when a person becomes frail. And people say, "Hey, why is there no color in your face? You look like a corpse. Used to chatter and talk so well. So why aren't you speaking now?" And we have such such people around us in our daily lives. Therefore, Christianity simply cannot function without boasting of the cross. Whether you get married as a bride or a groom or when you educate your children, it must be the cross. Because the cross is left out, children do all kinds of wild things. They turn into thugs. They take opium injections and they commit every sort of misdeed. Sons and daughters who have the cross in them wouldn't do such things. Even if you told them to, they fear God. And with God right there in front of them, how could they smoke, right? You must know this blood of the cross. It is marvelous. Truly marvelous.
In the Old Testament times, those who committed every sort of vile deed, the utterly base and subhuman scoundrels. They were dragged out by the village and killed by being hung on a tree. And Jesus took that cursed tree and utilized it. He utilized it when looking at Galatians 3. To anyone looking on, they thought, "Oh, he is cursed." So it's he's kicking the bucket hung on a wooden cross. And that's how they perceived it. >> But you Jesus utilized that very thing. And look how he embraces tax collectors, prostitutes, and sinners. Those kinds of utterly hopeless people entirely with his love.
Lady was caught in the act right in the middle of having relations even without a pair of underwear on. She was dragged out ruthlessly and they say, "Hey Jesus, Moses commanded us to stone this woman kind of woman to death. So how are you going to judge her?" And then while hundreds of people were huffing and puffing with stones in their both hands ready to crush her head, he sat on the ground and wrote. So this man who's from Nazareth, a carpenter never stepped foot near school gate, someone who never went to school was writing on the ground. They say a man who never went to school is writing. Yet Jesus is the foundation of knowledge. There's nothing he doesn't know. And then they said, "Hey, Jesus." Moses said that when someone is caught in the act of adultery, caught red-handed right in the middle of the heat of it, they should be stoned to death. And so, what are you going to do with this man? What are you going to do with this woman? But look at how the Lord stands up and completely shatters them all with the word of the blood of the cross. >> What did he say? He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone and kill this man and woman. And hearing these words, the hundreds of Jews, at least they had a conscience. They put down their stones and walked away. No one was left but the woman and Jesus, just the two of them. And the Lord called out to her again, "Woman, where are they? Did anyone condemn you or declare you guilty?" So then I don't condemn you either. And he said, "Go and sin no more." And this is a word found in John 8:es 1-1. >> So the the cross so no matter what kind of whoring or hundreds of years of adultery a person has committed if they genuinely repent and they feel remorse and they come before the Lord's cross the Bible records that all their sins will be forgiven and they will be made like a virgin who has never sinned. How marvelous is that?
And look at those who are murderers. Look at the murderous robbers. They released Barabus, the murderous robber, didn't they? And Jesus was hung with other robbers. And then one fellow said, "Are you really Jesus? From what I heard back in prison, they say you play a lot of tricks and clever stunts, performing signs and wonders, raising the dead and healing diseases. Are you really the son of God, Jesus, the Messiah? How unfair is this that both you and me in our youth are like here? So perform a miracle just once to save yourself and save me and then I'll believe. So while nails were driven through both of his hands and feet, and blood was streaming down to speak to Jesus in that matter shows just how malicious he was, he was a fellow filled with evil from the crown of his head to the soles of his feet. However, the robber on the right said, "Look here, you and I committed murder and robbery, and we are hung here due here as of due punishment for our crimes. But what sin has this man hung in the middle committed? This is a man who must not die. And he delivered a magnificent sermon. And even now he's preaching to all of humanity. That thief on the right. Why? Because it is the living word. And look how he entrusts his own soul to the Lord. Lord Jesus. Lord Jesus. when you come into your kingdom, when you go to heaven, please remember someone like me." And Jesus said, "Take courage. Truly, truly I say to you today, you shall be with me in paradise." Did that robber do any good deeds up until the moment he was hung on the cross? right before drawing his last breath on the cross. He repented, felt remorse and bore this kind of testimony for the Lord and entrusted his soul to him. At that moment, the Lord said, "Truly, truly I say to you, today you shall be with me in paradise." How magnificent is this? It is mysterious, authoritative, powerful >> and the word of creation. It is the word of creation.
If you have sin, you will perish. Christianity does not teach that people with a lot of sin go to hell and people with just a little sin go to heaven. That is not the Christianity that we preach. Rather whether you have many sins or few sins if you have sin you go to hell if you have sin you perish why it is in Romans chapter 6 vers 23 what are the wages of sin it is death it is destruction it is the fire of hell you must know this no matter how well you live it is at most 100 years and no matter how poorly you live it is 100 years and after that without fail person in the end even if they didn't believe they will be resurrected unto a resurrection of judgment if they believed well it is a resurrection of eternal life and the these are the words of Jesus in John 5:24 or in the words of first Corinthians are they all lies believe therefore repent before you fall ill when you become sick you cannot repent when your body is rotting aching and in pain pain. What is there left to repent? And you say, "Oh dear. Oh dear. You can't even see straight because you're so in so much pain." So repent while you are still healthy. Repent while your consciousness is sharp and clear. >> When you're on the verge of death, what kind of repentance can there be? So, To be born as a human and to truly act like one, you must fervently love God, believe in him well and strive to obey and live according to the words of his commandments. That is what makes a person a real human is someone who does not obey their parents' words even a human. And furthermore, if we do not obey the word of God who created our parents, can we call ourselves human? And that is why it says in Psalm 49:20, "Man in his pump, yet without understanding is like the beasts that perish."
It's recorded in Matthew chapter 23, verse 35, and the following about the blood of Abel and to the blood of Zachchariah, the son of Barakiah. And there's a blood shed between sanctuary and altar, that blood cries out. And even looking at the word in Revelation 6:9 when people are unjustly shot to death or have their heads beaten with clubs and baseball bats, or have their limbs tied to carts, pulled by horses or oxen so that their bodies are torn apart to death. It says all that blood cries out and appeals. Oh God, how long will you refrain from avenging our blood? And because of the blood of those martyed spoke before God, he gave them white robes. When the martyrdom is complete, and when the number is filled, I will avenge it all. He says, And let us look at the book of revelation together >> al together. Revelation chapter 6:es 9 to 11. Revelation 6 9-11. So let's start. When he broke the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been slain. Al together again. Start. When he broke the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and because of the testimony which they had maintained. And they cried out with the loud voice, saying, "How long, O Lord, holy and true, will you refrain from judging and avenging our blood on those who dwell on the earth." And there was given to each of them a white robe, and they were told that they should rest a little while longer until the number of their fellow servants and their brethren who were to be killed, even as they had been, would be completed also. I looked Look here. >> Every time I speak, I present the evidence. I present proof. And when we look at verse 10 here, it says, "And they cried out with a loud voice, saying, "How long, O Lord, holy and true?" And which means God, "Will you refrain from judging and avenging our blood on those who dwell on the earth?" And there was given to each of them a white robe. They were given to each of them white robe. And they were told that they should rest for a little while longer until the number of their fellow servants and their brethren who are to be killed even as they had been would be completed. Also he said them to he tells them to wait just a little longer. But once the number of the blood of martyrdom is filled, he will avenge it all according to their wishes, according to the cry and desire of that blood.
Fellow saints, please speak gracefully with thanksgiving. Even if it's just a single word, you must speak with gratitude and stop saying things that drain the life out of others. And people often say, "Hearing you talk like that makes my blood run completely dry >> or they say that at the slightest provocation that their blood boils and rushes to the head and they feel like dying. So please be careful everyone.
So when there's a manufacturing date, an expiration date for medicine, it specifies exact year and month and it says that exactly. And the same with milk or yogurt nowadays and the dates are clearly marked and if the date has passed, people are reluctant to consume it. No matter how expensive it is, they don't want to eat it. However, the efficacy of the blood of Jesus Christ cross is forever and ever. So no matter what era or what time it manifests, if any sinner repents, the blood of that cross cleanses and forgives completely.
Let us all find 1 Peter 1:1 18. In my Bible, it's page 378. 1 Peter chapter 1 verse 18. Therefore, when your business, your children or your husband is sick, it stems from the sin of not firmly believing in the blood of the cross. Wherever the cross is manifested, any sickness is completely healed. Demons just sketch a cross. A fortune teller's magic will stop working. A shaman is no god. This is no lie. Shamans recognize someone like me instantly. They say, "A fierce believer in Jesus has come here. Even demons know it all. However, to someone who does not firmly believe in the cross, they say a person like you is nothing. You are on my side. The spirit cannot be deceived. Now, first Peter chapter 1 18 to1 19. Let's start. knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your feudal way of life inherited from your forefathers, but with precious blood as of a lamb unblenmished and spotless. The blood of Christ. Look at this. When you read it all the way to the end, your heart burns. It says, "The blood of Jesus has neither spot nor blemish. Our redemption from the feud and wicked ways of our forefathers was not accomplished with perishable silver or gold, but with the eternally living, precious blood of our Lord.
The blood of Jesus's cross, even looking at the words of 2 Corinthians 5, the blood of Jesus becomes the sacrifice of reconciliation and makes us ambassadors of heaven. And it's the exact same with Romans 6. When you look at the entire Bible, it is all the word of the blood. You are all the people of the blood. >> In Hebrews it says, "How much severe punishment will those face who trample underfoot the blood of the cross and regard it as unclean? Therefore, those who do not believe in the blood of the cross and utter all kinds of insults commit willful sin. meaning they cannot receive forgiveness of sins. Not even through the blood of Jesus's cross because they deny it.
So even when you love your husband, do it within the precious blood of the Lord. You have to do it that way, right? And same for your wives. And so you pray, Lord, let the precious blood of your cross make my husband a true man. And isn't that in the hymns there's that power in the precious blood. It overcomes temptations. Would a husband go out and commit adultery somewhere else? It overcomes temptations. The blood of the cross blocks it all and it keeps him from falling ill. How wonderful is this?
What is the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth? >> It is precisely the name of the cross. If Jesus did not have the cross, he would be a counterfeit. Where can you find a Jesus without the cross? Leaving behind heavenly glory for our sake. The very fact that he came to this earth because of us is already the cross. And even when their brat drives them crazy and refuses to listen and they say it call it a cross. So even when the husband does all kinds of awful things and they and gamles away and they cry, "Oh deacon, oh that cross, that husband of mine is my cross." Is that where you're supposed to attach the cross? The cross is what smashes, destroys, and eradicates sin. >> How can you take the authoritative cross and attach it to a brat who's driving you crazy? So how precious this word is. The cross is a definitive promise. It is the object of our faith.
Look at a daily life, a day-to-day existence without the cross. And they just try to live comfortably. And to live comfortably, they have to tell lies. And they have to resort to manipulation. They employ clever tricks. They speak words they don't even mean. and they have to flatter others. So those who have the cross, they are precise. They are free from lies. They don't know how to lie. They are deeply simple and innocent. And God refers to such a person as honest. It is said that God loves the honest. Could the words in Psalm 84 be a lie? Are those words a lie in Psalm 84? You all must do well. >> Every time I pray for the saints of Pongo J, I pray God, just like the Apostle Paul, grant them that rich faith that resolves to boast only of the cross and to know nothing but the cross. And this is how I pray.
When even when it comes to faith, if you take away the cross and put on a show, it is counterfeit. It's a fake. Salvation is found in the cross. And loving God is found in the cross. Would you marry someone who does not believe in that cross? There's no need to. Why would you marry someone like that? There's no need to do that. And even among worldly songs, isn't there a song that goes, "I don't care if I live in poverty. You must all wake up and be alert. The cross is my testimony, my boasting, my crown. The cross is my true pioneer, my guide and my compass. It lead to lead me on the path to eternal life. And to that extent, we must boast of the cross. And even when you pray a prayer without the cross or when you preach a sermon without the cross, that's all fake. It must always be centered on the cross. Even a church without the cross is fake. It is nothing but a fraudulent group.
And so that is why the apostle Paul addressed to the Galatians. Let's all find it. Galatians chapter 6. Because people tried to secure a high position in the church without the cross. They all fall into temptation because they lack the cross. They steal because they lack the cross. They harbor greed and they use and sell the name of God just to socialize. And there are many such people. There are many such pastors. And you're going to stay under them just to scrape together a spoonful of rice. Good grief. They are wretched people who deserve to have their bellies ripped out and being put to death. Why on earth would you stand a place that has no cross? Does a pastor save you? Because they do not know the cross. They all steal. They steal. And even if you steal, you should do it for good. Use it for good. How precious that incredibly precious that is altogether Galatians 6:14 you have to read it to be blessed is this some is my words you that's in revelations that here those who hear the word are blessed the ones who read it are blessed it's a word spoken by God himself isn't it worth reading at least once just as a child will call out father mother if only for your own sake altogether. Galatians 6:14 but may it never be that I would boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ through which the world has been crucified to me and I to the world. Where else can you find words greater than this? But may it never be that I would boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ through which the world has been crucified to me and I to the world.
For the Apostle Paul, it is a cross whether he comes or goes. It is the cross when he eats. The cross when he starves. When he is happy, when he sleeps, when he's insulted, when he is praised by others, the cross when he evangelizes, and even when he enters prison. So, how much more? He is a man of the cross. And how much how infinitely glorious is the cross? It's incredible, isn't it? >> Is it not? And if you come before Jesus, you receive the forgiveness of all sins. Why? Because of the cross. It is a symbol of salvation. How wonderful is that?
Therefore, the Apostle Paul declared that the cross of Jesus demonstrated God's love. He loved us to the extent of putting his own son to death. He gave up his son to the world because of our sins. He gave him up. It was as if he said, "Do as you wish with him," and humanity crucified him to death. But who would have known that the cross would crush Satan's head? How could anyone have known that the cross would shatter the enemy to pieces? They killed him because they didn't know. Yet, hasn't that very cross become the boast of our salvation and the eternal bliss of our everlasting life?
Do not live a life devoid of the cross. Whenever you speak, let it be through the cross. Even when you speak and even when you remain silent, let the silence be through the cross. At any rate, whether you eat or drink, it is all about the cross. For a believing saint, even if it's in sleep, it is the cross. Waking up is the cross. And we're looking at the tri child at the cross. But every time people, they say, "Oh, study hard to become the president. Study hard to become rich. Study hard to become a minister. What other what utter fools in all the world?" The moment you open your eyes, as soon as you wake up from sleep, and even if you don't say it out loud to your sons and daughters, you say, "If you boast only of the cross, all wealth, honor, and splendor are contained within it." And so, even if you don't say aloud to your sons and daughters, I believe that whenever a father and mother resolve it in their hearts, look at the children, manifest a blessing upon them. This is the absolute truth.
Therefore, if the devil had known the secret of the cross, he would have never put him to death. The devil simply thought that if he hung him on a tree to die, draining all his blood and water, they would able to shout harrah once he was dead. But just like Genesis 3:15, he had no idea that very blood would crush his own head. So there's a war in heaven. There's a war in heaven. And Michael the Archangel, the commander of God's army and fights fights against Satan, he fights against the ancient serpent who is called the devil, Satan the dragon. But the serpent cannot win. The serpents cannot win. They are cast down from the air. Fearing they might escape, Michael the archangel pursues them down and fights. They cannot prevail. So where do they go? They go to the earth. They go to the earth. The ancient serpent, also called the dragon and the devil. That ancient serpent was cast down to the earth. And where did it go? It went straight into the hearts of human beings. And as days go by, the world does not become a better place. Rather, day by day, the world grows more and more evil. Fellow saints, you must realize this. The only good world that exists is within the church that believes in Jesus. >> Why can't you wake up? And they say better things there are better hundreds or thous but day by day it grows more and more evil. >> And it was like this in the days of Noah. Exactly the days of Noah. Let us read Revelation 12 verse 7. >> Revelation 12 7-2. Revelation 12 7-12. >> The only way to win is through the cross. There's no other way to win but through the cross.
The saints didn't know about the cross. Why would they have killed Jesus? Those wretched things. The saints only thought about hanging a man on a tree, draining his blood, and making him die. That is all they thought about. But they had no idea. He had no idea that the Lord's blood on the cross possess authority, power, creation, and might. And they had no idea that the blood of the cross could forgive any sin no matter what it was. Or that the blood of the cross would reconcile enemies and bring unity. They he did not know that. And the fact the blood of the cross forgives any sin and reconciles enemies was a secret known to God alone. Scholars and doctors did not know it is a secret known to God alone. So please believe in just how much of a blessing it is that we are the ones who believe in this.
I will let's read and we will conclude. Let us read 1 Corinthians chapter 2:es 6-8. It is worth finding. 1 Corinthians chapter 2 6-8. >> 1 Corinthians chapter 2 verse 6. Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are mature. A wisdom, however, not of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are passing away. But we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God predestined before the ages to our glory. the wisdom which none of the rulers of this age has understood. For if they had understood it, they would not have crucified the God of glory. Look at this. If the rulers of this world, the scholars, if they had known about the secret of the Lord's cross, they would not have crucified Jesus. So, it is precisely because they did not know the secret of the Lord's cross that they crucified the Lord of glory. Okay? They did not know. They crucified him because they did not know. But what an incredible blessing it is for us sinful human beings today. It is the gospel. Isn't the gospel good? The good news.
>> From now on, even when you engage in business, do it with the cross. Even when doing business, bless your customers. How much is this? It's 15,0001. Okay, let's haggle a bit. Oh, I can't sell it for that. Business is about making a profit. Even if it's just a small one. People do this to make a living. So it wouldn't do to sell it below cost, would it? And while selling it, bless them in your heart. Lord, if there is no cross in this person's home, bless them to believe in the cross and through the cross drive out all dark absurdities. >> And do you say this out loud? No. You pray it in your spirit and in your heart. >> Yes. And as you take their money, you say, "Thank you. Have a safe trip." Have that kind of heart embedded within those very words. And I surely hope and believe that according to your prayers, those households will become the ones that cannot survive without believing in Jesus and receiving his blessings.
Let us pray. Father God, we thank you. the blessing and grace that allow us to possess the kingdom of heaven. A country that is eternally blessed, free from sin, free from worry, anxiety, sighing, and tears is entirely the grace of the cross. From this moment on, bless us so that we may live a precise and upright life centered on the cross. Whether we speak, let it be the cross. Whether we both, let it be the cross. Whether we eat or drink, whether we go on vacation, travel, or move, grant that we may march forward, holding the cross deep within our hearts. Let there only be the cross in every household. By doing so, let not Satan dare to look upon us, and let not the works of darkness invade. May Jesus Christ alone become the master protecting and working within every family. >> Believing and being fully assured that this will be done according to our prayers. We offer up this prayer of thanksgiving in the holy name of Jesus Christ. >> Amen.
