This cold morning I want to invite you to consider the story of a woman whose name we do not know, original name, that is, the name that a father or a mother gives you, possibly we do not know it, we know the name of her from the name given to her by those who bought her from the slave market. It is a woman who began her life without destiny, a woman who began her life ready for failure, let's say, without promises, without anything, a woman who possibly tried to commit suicide in a way that perhaps you had never found in the Bible, a woman who began being a nobody, who had absolutely nothing to dream of, who did not have a God to trust,

and yet, as it happens in the stories with the God of the Bible, in his worst moment, in the deepest well, God ended up meeting her. I invite you to a story that perhaps reflects your story. Perhaps it is you at this time in which you find yourself fleeing, without a story, without a destination, suicidal ideation, or perhaps you do not stop running, you are just running and running and you do not know why. And I want to invite you to know the story of a woman who finally one day, when God found her, stopped running and her life took a 180-degree turn, as your life can give it this morning. I invite you to know the story of that woman called Agar. If you brought your Bible, I want you to put it up, lift it up. What do we say? This is the Word of God. And I want you to go to Genesis, chapter 16, and I will read to you directly the story and then we will consider how her life took a turn. Genesis, chapter 16, if you are with the sermon notebook, taking notes, the black notebook that we have given you, it would be page 59, if I am not mistaken. Genesis, chapter 16, and I will read from verses 1 to 14. I want you to listen carefully. The Word of God says, Now Sarai, Abraham's wife, had not been able to give him children, but she had an Egyptian servant called Agar. Then Sarai said to Abraham, The Lord has not allowed me to have children. Go and lie down with my servant. Perhaps I can have children through her. And Abraham accepted Sarai's proposal. Then Sarai, Abraham's wife, took Agar, the Egyptian servant, the slave, and gave her to Abraham as a woman. This happened ten years after Abraham settled in the land of Canaan. So Abraham had sexual relations with Agar, and she became pregnant.

But when Agar learned that she was pregnant, he began to treat his mistress, Sarai, with contempt. Then Sarai said to Abraham, All this is your fault. Has any husband ever felt that in his life? That your wife says, This is your fault? Well, there it is. Abraham understands you. All this is your fault, although it was my idea, but it is your fault. I'm talking about this, not your case. He says, I put my servant in your arms, but now that she is pregnant, she treats me with contempt. The Lord will show who is wrong, you or me. And Abraham, not wanting to have problems with his wife, you all know, you know, happy wife, happy life, whatever. He says, Look, she is your servant. So treat her as you please. I don't want any problems. Then Sarai began to treat Agar with such harshness, that in the end she, that is, the Egyptian nails, fled. Verse 7 The angel of the Lord found Agar in the desert, next to a spring of water, on the way to Shur. And the angel said to him, Agar, servant of Sarai, where do you come from? And where are you going? I'm running away from my lady, Sarai replied.

And the angel of the Lord said to her, return right now and submit yourself to his authority. Go back. And then he added, I will give you more descendants than you can count. I jump to verse 13. And from then on, Agar used another name to refer to the Lord, who had spoken to her. She said, You are the God who sees me. And he also said, Have I really seen the one who sees me? I am seen? So that well was called Ber-la-hai-roi, which means well of the one who sees me. Here you have the story of someone who began, I insist, being an absolute nobody, a nameless slave. Now let's see a little. The name Agar is possibly a name that Abraham and Sarai gave her. Agar possibly means the foreigner, the immigrant, the one who is not from here. So possibly we don't even know her original name. And she ends up in a well, a well that possibly she was waiting to be the last, and she ends up knowing God in a way that turns her life around. A personal encounter with God. So if I see the story of Agar in three scenes,

and possibly it represents, maybe you found yourself in one of those three scenes. I'm going to tell you like this. The first scene is, Agar is hurt and used by others. Agar is used and hurt by others as a slave. The second scene is, Agar decides to flee, or as I think many today, those who are watching me on Facebook Live, Agar decides to live fleeing. She can never stop fleeing. And thirdly, the third scene that I see here, is Agar having a personal encounter with whom? With God. I would love to go directly to the personal encounter with God, but first I have to tell you the story. First, before moving on to scene number one, I'm going to tell you a little bit about the story of Agar, in case you don't know it. The Bible doesn't tell us the childhood of this woman, but it gives us enough details to intuit, to conjecture, to say, OK, possibly this was her life. The Bible tells us in verse 1, that she was a servant, or a slave, from where? From what place?

Egypt. She was an Egyptian slave. Perhaps I assume that her story was intertwined with this family, Abraham and Sarai, at a time when Abraham and Sarai passed through Egypt. In fact, in Genesis chapter 12, it tells you a little bit about that. There was famine, and Abraham and Sarai decided to leave their land for Egypt, and they spent a lot of time there. It turns out that in Egypt, Abraham and Sarai are doing quite well, economically. They have a business, they grow that business, and they are doing very well, and they buy goats, cows, sheep, you know, what you would buy if you had money at that time. You couldn't buy 1,500 rams a year, so what you would buy were 4-legged rams. The thing is that, among all those sales, and you will see it on your screen, you would have to see it on your screen, the beginning of the story of Agar. Among all those sales, we can assume that Abraham buys slaves. Perhaps that, to your ears, of 2025,

bothers you. But, bro, this was not written two days ago. This was what was happening. Potentially, Agar was found by Abraham, it was found in the Egyptian slave market. I wonder, how did Agar end up there? You know, the way you ended up in a slave market was potentially, almost always, poverty. So what you would do is, if you had no way to pay, you are a father, and you have children, and you have no way to pay your debts, what you had to do was sell your children. Like slaves. And Agar was possibly sold as a slave when she was little. And I wonder, since when was she in the slave market, you know? I start to think. Since when? I wonder if Agar knows what a birthday is. I have a little girl,

4 or 5 years old, who all she thinks about is getting presents. She is always counting how much Christmas is left, and how much her birthday is left, or how much the next day is left to receive a present. All she sees is a present, and I, as a bad father, who I am, I did very badly to her, I always give her what she wants, because she is my 4-year-old girl, and well, I will deal with the consequences later. I wonder if Agar, as a slave, ever had a birthday. I wonder how many nights she would have found her lying down, crying. I remember thinking about the day when my mom wrapped her in her arms because she was hurt playing with a little brother. All I know is that Agar is in a totally vulnerable position. She didn't choose this life. She didn't choose Abraham. She didn't choose Sarai. She didn't choose anything in her life. Everything was chosen for her. And she ends up being bought by this family. Agar is in a very vulnerable position. And in the ancient world, in the Middle East, and to this day it's still a bit similar, there are three things that make you a very vulnerable person. First, it was a woman. And as a woman, at that moment, it's not like you could go out and get a job.

Oh, I'm going to find a job. I'm going to study in college. As a woman, the only value you had as a woman was your womb. You were a uterus. The only reason you were worth anything was to give birth to babies. Second, she's a slave. So from that moment on, you have a woman who has no control over her future. She has no control over anything in her life. Think about that. And third, she's a foreigner. In fact, the name they give her, I insist, Agar, sounds like a Hebrew root that means the foreigner, the one that isn't from here. Bro, not even her native language is spoken in the Abraham and Sarai family. Rechazada. For you to understand, that's Agar. And that puts us in the first scene that I see here, which is the one I called like this. Agar suffers, is used, and is hurt by others. The first scene is quite cruel, perhaps sick or morbid, because if I understand the story well, it says that it's Abraham and Sarai, and they have a serious infertility problem. Sarai can't have children. And the thing is, if you read it quickly, it seems like Sarai says, well, evidently I can't have children. Why don't you sleep with that one? And the guy sleeps with that one, and the same thing always happens to me. I'm the wife, I do everything right, I can't have children, and this one, who's a slave from I-don't-know-where, the first one gets pregnant. It seems a little bit sick, but it's not as sick as you think. This was the way of adoption of that moment. Let me explain it to you like this.

Abraham wasn't a 20-year-old kid, and neither was Sarai. I don't know much about menopause, peripause, I'm telling you, pause, I don't know much about that. But what I do know is that Agar was in one of those pauses. It was already years ago, and God had given him a promise. God had told Abraham and Sarai that they were going to have a son, and that from that son there would be more children, and that later a nation would come, and from that nation there would be a king, and from that king all the nations would be blessed. But ten years went by, here it says in verse 3, that ten years went by, and God hadn't told them anything about what was going to happen. God only said, believe in me, give that step of faith, which I told you about last week, remember? You have to give that step of faith. But the problem is that after you give that step of faith, sometimes God is silent for years. So I think there's a moment when you're fed up, saying, why does God give me a promise, and I take it, I have enough faith to give that step of the promise, and then a decade goes by, and my wife is not getting any younger, and neither am I, and we're not going to have children in the normal way. What does that mean? Yes, we're going to do what everyone does. What is that? Renting a womb. Renting a womb was the norm at that time, and we have historical evidence in the Hammurabi Code, etc. That's what they had grown up seeing, it was normal. So they say, here's your slave. What's her name?

I don't know, the foreigner, I don't know. And well, what is that? That's a womb, a uterus. Use it. So what Sarai says is, look, we're going to do a kind of marriage, and she says she put it on her arms. That's a code for marriage, right? But it's not a marriage at Sarai's level, like an official wife, it's like an official concubine, something like that. Let's say they officialize the relationship. It's not like Abraham one day got up and messed with a woman. They officialize the relationship, and what you did at that time was that they had sexual intercourse, after you had married them, and if she got pregnant, you, as an infertile wife, would receive the baby on your legs, and that meant adoption. The plan wasn't so bad. The only problem was that God had never told them. This wasn't senfo, it was normal, it was adoption. But God had never told them to do that. It was normal. As you can see, tell me how you would feel being Agar. You are in the middle, bro. People use you literally as a thing to satisfy the plans of another family. Like, you don't play anything in this game. Sarai does all that. Abraham goes to bed with her, his legitimate second-level wife. That first-level woman gets pregnant, which is always ironic, right? She gets pregnant, and now you have Agar, the pregnant nobody.

And now she says, well, finally I have some dignity to fight for. I never had dignity in my life, and now at least I'm going to be pregnant. So now Sarai is telling him, clean my bathroom, you, clean my bathroom. And Agar says, oh no, I'm not going to bend over again, I'm pregnant. So Sarai says, where did this whore come from? I bought her. So she goes to Abraham and says, what did you do? And Abraham says, bro, what do you want me to do? I don't know what I did wrong, bro. And Sarai says, no, it's your fault, because you should have told me no. You live with a woman who says, I don't know how to win this conversation, bro. I don't know how to win this conversation, Abraham. And the sad thing is that Sarai, a controlling woman, full of pain, I don't know what it feels like to be Sarai, that God gave all the promises to your husband, and you are an infertile woman. All I know is that pain leads you to be a controller, and she does what she knows best, controlling and manipulating Abraham. That's what makes people hurt, controlling and manipulating. And Abraham, on the other hand, is the typical passive husband who says, I don't want any problems. You know, I don't want any problems with my wife, bro. As much as it makes me disobey God and treat someone badly, I don't want any problems with my wife. And Abraham says, it's your thing. It's your thing. It's your thing. If you want to kick her out of here, do it. I bought her as your servant. Eventually, Sarai takes the floor and treats her so badly, that she probably hit her, I don't know.

And Agar ends up running away. The first scene of Agar's life is very sad, what I see here. It's very sad. It ends in the middle, let's say, like a sandwich. It ends sandwiched between a man who doesn't defend her, who doesn't seem to care, and a woman who only wanted to use her belly, but who is despising her. Imagine yourself in those shoes. That's why I put this first scene, used and hurt by others. And that doesn't only happen with women. There are men who are here, or who are watching me. They say, that's my story. Abused, used, hurt by others. And literally, everything that happened to me in my life is a testimony of that identity I have. I'm nothing. I'm nothing to anyone. No one sees me. I want you to say, no one sees me. That's Agar. And maybe that's you. And that brings you to the second scene, which is, obviously, Agar flees, or lives fleeing. Here it says that, obviously, she can't take it anymore, and that she escapes. And I'm going to show you, because this is important, I'm going to show you on a map, you're going to see it on your screen, what was Agar's plan, even though she doesn't tell me, but I think it's pretty obvious once you read the writing.

There are three places you have to know there. In Canaan is where Abram and Sarai were with Agar. Shur is where, if you go south, that's where the angel of the Lord finds Agar fleeing. If you keep going south and west, where do you find yourself? What's the third place there? What do you see there? Where was Agar from? What do you think she was doing? You tell me. Bro, I'm going back home. Agar, what do you have back home? If they bought you from there as what? As a slave? I think that in the best of cases, Agar is hoping to be taken as a slave again. You know, she's going back. But she's pregnant, so I don't know, I'm really not sure how much value they were going to give her, because a pregnant slave is literally useless in that context. In the worst of cases, and I'm telling you this because I know the culture of that moment, in the best of cases, her plan was possibly prostitution. Hand you over as a prostitute and with that pay and ensure the survival of your baby. This is a suicide mission, by the way. From Canaan to Egypt, which was possibly what Agar wanted to do, Eran como 300 kilómetros. Significa que le iba a tomar más o menos un mes de caminar por el desierto. Y en el desierto, los días son muy calientes y las noches son muy frías.

Y estás embarazada. Te puedo decir lo que yo creo. Yo creo que esta era una misión suicida. Yo creo que estaba como, bro, ya no tengo nada más. Nadie pelea por mí. A nadie le importa. No hay nadie que esté pensando en mi nombre. Let's just get done with this. Voy, pruebo suerte, pero si muero, me muero. Y yo, ¿sabes qué? Lo entiendo. Lo entiendo bastante bien. Porque hay un punto mental en el que llegas cuando vos sos un don nadie, te sentís que fuiste abandonado, rechazado durante toda tu vida, y pareciera que todo lo que está pasando en tu vida te vuelve a confirmar que vos sos un don nadie, hay un momento en el que vos decís, nadie me va a extrañar. Nadie me va a extrañar a mí. Yo no valgo para nada. La gente a mí me usa como trapo y después me tira. So I don't care and nobody will care. Yo creo que especialmente ahora cuando nos acercamos a Navidad, bro, yo he estado ahí para personas en Navidad o en Año Nuevo que se han tomado la vida. I get it. Hay un punto en el que vos te sentís tan inservible, tan nada, y vos ves en tu social media que pareciera que todo el mundo va a tener familia y regalos y felicidad. Y vos decís, yo no tengo a quien darle regalos,

no tengo ni quien sea quien piense en mí. Y por eso, esas son las fechas que por lo general, que para lo que para muchos es de mucha felicidad, para otros es un entierro. I've been there. Tal vez lo tuyo no sea como quitarte la vida o una misión suicida, pero me pregunto, ¿cuántos de ustedes siguen corriendo? You've been running and running and running. Y lo único que puedes hacer es contar las fiestas en las que te emborrachaste, or the body count. Y eso es lo único que me cuenta a mí, es que sos el mismo ser triste y patético que no ha dejado de correr durante toda su vida. You just keep running. You just keep running. Estás viviendo de huida. Y yo creo que muchos de nosotros no sabemos que hay un fin en ese camino de huida, y es la muerte. Hay un momento en el que ya no tenés más hacia dónde correr. Y yo creo que ahí es donde se encontraba ella, running. Me pregunto si vos estás ahí. Y tal vez alguien me dice, no, pastor, es que yo estoy en la iglesia. Yo no estoy corriendo. No. ¿Estás seguro? ¿Sabes la gente que yo he conocido en la iglesia? Que se mete, es líder, enseña la Biblia, all right, ayuna, ora, pero por ciertas actitudes de su corazón.

Vos podés, man, vos decís, este man nunca dejó de correr. Está tratando de tapar su dolor y ese espíritu de rechazo que tiene desde pequeño, y lo está tratando de tapar con church stuff, pero sigue siendo alguien que está huyendo. Agar, te estás escapando. You're running. ¿Y sabes, Dios podría dejarte seguir escapando? He could. Pero hay algo lindo que cantamos hoy. Tu amor, ¿recordás lo que cantamos hoy? This is good. ¿Tu amor qué? ¿Sabés que este Dios es un Dios como bastante insistente, hasta molesto a veces, en el mejor sentido de la palabra? Y si él te escogió para ser salvo, él te va a perseguir, desgraciado. Y te va a encontrar en tu misión suicida. Y eso me lleva a la tercera escena, en la que dice, que esos son los versículos 8 en adelante, que dice que el ángel del Señor la encontró. El ángel del Señor la encontró. Nick y Flor ya pueden empezar a pasar. ¿Te digo algo de este ángel del Señor? Esto es un excursus pequeño. Ángel significa mensajero de Dios, ¿right? Y en la Biblia, en el Antiguo Testamento, ves un montón de ángeles. Pero cada vez que en la Biblia hebrea o en el Antiguo Testamento vos encontrás ángel del Señor, o ángel de Jehová, o ángel de Yahvé, es un personaje bastante misterioso,

¿sabes? Porque cada vez que vos lees que aparece el ángel de Yahvé, es como es un mensajero de Dios, pero al mismo tiempo es Dios. It's just weird stuff. Es un mensajero. Y vos decís, ¿pero es un mensajero de parte de Dios? Lo vas a ver en tu pantalla. ¿Es un mensajero de parte de Dios o es Dios mismo? Y la respuesta es sí. De hecho, de ahí, el Nuevo Testamento y los apóstoles van a entender a Cristo, porque Cristo es el mensajero de Dios y al mismo tiempo es Dios mismo hecho hombre. ¿Cómo entiendo eso? ¿Quién sabe? Pero sé que es la verdad. Entonces, yo creo que me sentiría bastante bien diciéndote que, de alguna manera, es Cristo Jesús. Jesus, who meets this woman in this place, and he says that they have a conversation between them, you know, this conversation. He asks her this, where are you from and where are you going? Where are you from and where are you going? Why do you think Jesus asks that? Do you think that God does not know where you come from and where you are going? I don't know where I'm going, I'm just running. I don't know where I'm going, I'm just running. I don't know where I'm going. I'm just running. And the Lord says, running from what? And Agar says, running from what? Didn't you see?

Didn't you see how they treated me? Didn't you see how Sarai treated me, Abraham, supposedly the people who believe in you? Didn't you see how they used me? I'm running. I'm running. And the Lord says, running from where? And I feel that she says, this conversation doesn't make any sense. I'm going home, and if I have to die on the way, I'll die. And the Lord, in my imagination, how was this conversation, the Lord says, Do you think you're getting away from Abraham and Sarai? Don't you realize that you've had this pain in your chest since you were a child? Don't you realize that this spirit of rejection and orphans, you've always had it? Don't you realize that? Where are you going? To Egypt? Do you think Egypt can heal that spirit of rejection? Has it done anything for you? There's nothing for you there. There's nothing for you in that life of before. There's nothing. And I feel that she says, but I don't have a solution. There's no solution. And the angel of the Lord, who is the Lord, I think it's Christ himself, before becoming a man, many years later, says, I do have a solution. I do have a solution. Your solution is to get to know me. Your solution is to get to know me. To me, you have courage. I do see you.

I don't know how Agar heard that. Think about this with me. Agar comes from Egypt. In Egypt, there are a lot of gods, right? A lot of spiritual beings, city bosses, you know, spiritual bosses that help fertility, you know, you know that. You come from a country, or right here, where there are always spiritual beings, or whatever, that supposedly help you, I don't know what. Agar knew all that, but Agar never heard of a god that would come down to his head and say, I see you. Yo si te vi. So let's get the heck out of here. Y vamos a sanar. Yo si te vi. Y esto impacta tanto a Agar, impacta tanto a Agar que Agar dice, ¿Quién es este dios? ¿Quién es este dios? O sea, había escuchado que habían hablado de él, you know, por años que estuve de esclava en esa casa, pero nunca él me había hablado a mí. Y nunca me había hecho sentir que yo sí era vista por alguien. Y dice, yo te voy a poner como, y es un nombre de hebreo,

no lo vas a leer ahí porque no te lo tradujo. El Roy. El Roy son dos palabras en hebreo que significan Dios me ve. Dios me vio. He sees me. Y dice que le puso otro nombre a ese pozo. Ese pozo en el que estaba era hacer un pozo de muerte. Un pozo de desesperación. Maybe to drop dead. Pero dice que le puso a ese pozo Ver la High Roy. En hebreo significa el pozo de aquel que está vivo y me vio. ¿Alguien puede decir amenazas o no, bro? Get back. Levantate y vuelve. Y yo te quiero decir algo en el nombre de Jesús. Hay un montón de hombres y mujeres que están acá, que han estado running, corriendo, y corriendo, y corriendo, y corriendo. Yo entiendo. Yo también estuve ahí. Quizás lo tuyo es la botella, las drogas, las mujeres, la porno, o la iglesia. Has estado en la iglesia, pero vos no has dejado de correr. Y Dios hoy, por medio de Jesús, Jesús, con marcas en sus manos y en sus pies, aquel que murió resucitó, viene a ese pozo y te dice, yo sí te vi. Mi papá te escogió. Yo morí en la cruz por vos.

Estoy vivo. Y tu vida puede dar un giro. Get back. Levantate de este pozo y vámonos. Este pozo no es para muerte. Este pozo es para que vos recordes donde me conociste a Me pregunto si vos estás escuchando esa voz esta mañana. Quiero que te pongas de pie. Los líderes pueden pasar. Que van a ministrar. Y quiero que todos los que estén acá estén con los ojos cerrados. Nadie mirando. Todos con los ojos cerrados y nadie mirando. Me pregunto si no estoy esta mañana solamente hablando de Agar. Me pregunto si vos sos aquel hombre. Nameless, poor, pathetic man. Que ha cargado un espíritu de rechazo y de orfandad durante tanto tiempo. Just so long. Y has estado corriendo, bro. Y has estado tratando de cambiar tus problemas, pero you've never stopped running. Tal vez sos esa mujer que trae ese dolor en el pecho, lo tenés tatuado en el pecho. Y has estado en la iglesia, y has escuchado, pero hasta ahora Jesús nunca te reveló este nombre. El Roy.

I see you. And I saw you. And I'll see you through. But you've got to get out of here. En Egipto no hay nada para vos. En tu vida de antes, there's nothing for you. Y te has pasado la vida corriendo, apresurándote para este encuentro. Y este momento de encuentro, aun con los ojos cerrados y nadie mirando, este momento de encuentro puede ser un momento en el que you drop dead. Y ese pozo se transforma en el pozo de la muerte, de la destrucción, del suicidio, o de simplemente seguir viviendo como has venido viviendo. O puede ser el monte, de ver la high Roy. En este lugar, el Dios viviente me vio. Y por primera vez conocí cara a cara aquel que murió por mí. Y él me habló. And it's nothing like the gods of my culture. Nada que ver a los seres espirituales con los que yo crecí. Este es el verdadero Dios, el Hijo de Dios, el que quita el pecado del mundo. Y si esta mañana estás escuchando su voz, él te está diciendo, yo te vi, mi papá te vio, yo morí por vos y mi espíritu está listo para sacarte de acá. Just get out of here. Levántate de acá and receive it. Yo sí te vi. Nadie te vio, has escogido esa identidad por toda tu vida.

Nadie te vio, pero yo sí te vi. Yo soy el Roy, el Dios que te vio. Y si ese sos vos, el que está escuchando la voz de Jesús esta mañana, y necesitas recibir ese abrazo de parte del Dios que te vio, y el Dios que te salva, y el Dios que te saca de ese pozo, yo quiero que ahora mismo pases al frente, a la izquierda y a la derecha, y digas, ese soy yo. A mí me está llamando por nombre. And I'm ready to get out of this en el nombre de Jesús. Me amaste a mí cuando nadie me amó. Me viste a mí cuando nadie me amó. Me amaste a mí cuando nadie me amó. Me amaste a mí. It is now that this well of suicide, and this well of a cold heart, and this well of spirit of orphanage and slavery, and rejection, is transformed into the place where God saw me, me, right now you go to the front, if God is calling you, right now you go. Leader, if you are not here in front, and there are people who need a hug, right now you go, come on, come on, come on, come on. I am your daughter, the daughter of your eyes, because you loved me, and you gave me the name, I am your child, the daughter of your eyes, because you loved me, you loved me, you loved me, you loved me, you loved me, and you gave me the name, I am your daughter, the daughter of your eyes, because you loved me, and you gave me the name, I am your daughter, the daughter of your eyes, because you loved me, you loved me, you loved me, because you loved me, you loved me, you loved me, and you gave me the name, I am your child, the daughter of your eyes, because you loved me, you loved me, you loved me, you loved me, and you gave me the name, I am your child, the daughter of your eyes, because you loved me, you loved me, you loved me, you loved me, you loved me, and you gave me the name, I am your child, the daughter of your eyes, because you loved me, you loved me, you loved me, you loved me, you loved me, you loved me, you loved me, and you gave me the name, I am your child, the daughter of your eyes, my wife did not see me, my children did not see me, but he is the God who sees me, the Roy, that is Jesus of Nazareth. That's him, right there. And I want to finish ministering to you, I'm going to finish praying this morning for you. I want you to put your hands like this if you are here in this place or there where you are seeing it. That means you're receiving, that's it. Stay like this, with your hands like this. Let me now pray for you.

Lord, I pray and I thank you because having run all my life looking to be someone. All my life having run and run and run, escaping the pain of the past. And I was known and I was found and found when I least expected. And Jesus of Nazareth made me know you like the God who saw me. We are someone for you. Thank you, thank you. Thank you for having loved us when no one had loved us. Thank you for having seen us when no one had seen us. And thank you because now we can say, I love you. And now I am someone new and I love you more than my life. Thank you Lord, now I have a name. And when God reveals his name to me, now I have a new name. I am the seen, the loved and the received. I am not the discarded and the dead, but the received. And that is why I love you more than my life, Lord. Thank you, may you be blessed in the name of Jesus, the King of kings and Lord of lords. And we all say, Amen and Amen. God bless you. Glory to God for his word today. I hope the Lord has spoken to your heart, has administered as he administered me today. I only have a few announcements. If you are here for the first time, I invite you to go to Next Steps. We want to meet you by name. We want to give you a hug. We have a gift for you. So before you go, go to the Next Steps area. Also, if you have not yet joined a group of life, or you have not received a house of peace,

literally today we saw what the Lord is doing in the lives, in the groups of life through houses of peace. So we invite you. If you want more information, you can go to the Cross Church app or in crosschurch.com you can also find all that. And if not, also in the Next Steps area, we can help you. Without more to say, may God bless you and see you next Sunday. Go with the peace of the Lord.
