1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: Let us pray. And there came two angels to Sodom.

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: At Even and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom,

3
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: and Lot, seeing them, rose up to meet them, and

4
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: he bowed himself with his face toward the ground Genesis

5
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: nineteen one. My Lord, thank you for constantly showing me

6
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: grace when I'm surrounded and tempted with the pleasures of

7
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: this world. Thank you for protecting me from myself and

8
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,559
Speaker 1: from foolish decisions I've made when I wasn't thinking in

9
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: alignment with your word. Help me to move with critical

10
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: obedience when you give a command. I will no longer

11
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,639
Speaker 1: hesitate when I know the direction you're calling me to go.

12
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: I will no longer look back at my past longing

13
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: for the things that move me off the path of

14
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: my destiny. Thank you Lord, that when you close one

15
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: season of my life, like a life and his family,

16
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: you will provide a safe space for me and my

17
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: loved ones to dwell in. I thank you for your protection,

18
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: your justice, and your mercy towards me. I can move

19
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: in full confidence knowing that you've placed your angels like

20
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: a fence around my life. I am protected because I

21
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:35,919
Speaker 1: am yours in Jesus's name Amen. Listening to these daily

22
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 1: prayers strengthens your relationship with God. Continue hearing from the

23
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: Lord by listening to today's Bible in a Year, brought

24
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: to you by Bible in a Year dot com.

25
00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 2: Sodom and Gomorrah. Before this story, we learned about how

26
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 2: God visited Abraham and they talked about the cities of

27
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 2: Sodom and Gomorrah. God alluded to Abraham his plans to

28
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 2: destroy the city for its wickedness. Abraham asked again and

29
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 2: again about God's mercy if there are any righteous left

30
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 2: in the city. God promised he would not destroy Sodom

31
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 2: and Gomorrah if there were any righteous still living in

32
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 2: the city. Now we will learn about how God will

33
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 2: bring justice to the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. Inspired

34
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 2: by the Book of Genesis.

35
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 3: Hello, I'm pastor Jack Graham with today's episode of the

36
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 3: Bible in a Year podcast. Last time, we heard about

37
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 3: God's visit to Abraham and how Abraham pleaded for Sodom

38
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 3: and Gomorrah to be spared from destruction. The evil in

39
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 3: these cities has simply gone way, way too far, and

40
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 3: God is going to bring judgment upon them, destroying them

41
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 3: completely and all within the cities. But Abraham intervened, and

42
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 3: God agreed to relent if just ten righteous people could

43
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 3: be found in those places. Today we pick back up

44
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 3: as two angels who were with God arrive in Sodom,

45
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 3: the place where Abraham's nephew Lot was still living. They're

46
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 3: going to try to find righteous men who could spare

47
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 3: the cities from annihilation. Notice his Lot greets them, knowing

48
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,519
Speaker 3: as Abraham knew that these visitors were not of this world.

49
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 3: Listen as he pleads with them, knowing that they are

50
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 3: not safe in a very wicked town. So just think

51
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 3: about what this recognition of the evil around him signals

52
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 3: about Lot's unwillingness to distance himself from corruptive influence, this terrible, awful,

53
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 3: wicked influence upon his life and family. Is this the

54
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 3: kind of leader his family needs? Finally, as you hear

55
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 3: this past message and the things the townspeople do to

56
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 3: these angels, imagine how much this grieved God's heart to

57
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 3: see the depth of depravity in the hearts of those

58
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 3: he created in his own image, now defiled by sin.

59
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 3: You will surely see that God's righteous anger against Sodom

60
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 3: and Gomorah was more than warranted. But consider also that

61
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 3: our hearts are not so different and prone to sin

62
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 3: and evil, and this also grieves the heart of the Father. Soberly,

63
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 3: let us hear today's passage.

64
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 2: Lot, Abraham's nephew, was still living in the city of

65
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 2: Sodom with his family. He was sitting outside of Sodom

66
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 2: in the gateway when two angels arrived. Lot walked up

67
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: to them, bowed down with his face to the ground.

68
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 2: He said to them, come with me where you can

69
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 2: wash your feet, spend the night, and leave in the morning.

70
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 2: For Lot knew that the two angels would not be

71
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 2: safe in the city at night. The angels responded, saying,

72
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 2: we will stay the night in the square. Lot insisted,

73
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 2: so they went with him to his home. Lot prepared

74
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 2: a meal for them by baking bread without yeast, and

75
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 2: they ate. Darkness began to fall over the city, and

76
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 2: the shroud of night provided a covering for the wicked

77
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 2: men of the city to emerge. Every man from the

78
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 2: city of all ages surrounded Lot's house. This horde of

79
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 2: Sodom knocked on Lot's door, demanding that he delivered the

80
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 2: angels into their hands, bring them out here so that

81
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 2: we might have our way with them, for they desired

82
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 2: to take turns with them, brutalizing and raping them. Lot

83
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 2: came outside instead, Frantic and not in his right mind,

84
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 2: he said, please, brothers, do not take them from my house.

85
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 2: They are righteous guests and are protected under my roof.

86
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: Here I have two virgin daughters. I will give them

87
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 2: to you, and you can do whatever you want to them.

88
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 2: Just do not take these men in my house. There

89
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 2: Lot stood, feeling as if he had no choice but

90
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 2: to sell out his own daughters. Growing louder and more impatient,

91
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 2: the men outside yelled towards Lot, get back. You are

92
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 2: a sojourner here in our land, and now you want

93
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 2: to judge us, Move or we will do worse things

94
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 2: to you than we will to your guests. The men

95
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 2: came closer to Lot, ready to break down the doors.

96
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 2: Then from behind Lot, the two angels grabbed him and

97
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 2: drew him back into the house, closing the door behind them.

98
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 2: The two angels stood before Lot and looked outward and

99
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 2: struck the men outside with blindness. However, it did not

100
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 2: stop the men from trying to get inside. Disoriented and blinded,

101
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 2: the men eventually wore themselves out, groping for the door.

102
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 2: The angels said to Lot, do you have any other

103
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 2: family members here in the city. If so, flee with them,

104
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,679
Speaker 2: for we are going to destroy this city. The Lord

105
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 2: has sent us because of the outcries against it. So

106
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 2: Lot went to go warn his family, including the men

107
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 2: supposed to marry his daughters. Flailing and frantic, the son

108
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 2: in laws thought he was joking, so they did not

109
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 2: listen and went to bed. Morning came and the angels

110
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 2: came again to Lot, yelling, take your wife and your

111
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 2: daughters and flee the city. You will be destroyed if

112
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 2: you linger any longer. But Lot did linger, indecisive and afraid,

113
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 2: and was unable to help himself or his family. He

114
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 2: was cowardly to offer up his daughters, and now he

115
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 2: stood equally a coward for not saving them. Yet God

116
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 2: was still merciful to them and promised he would not

117
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 2: destroy the city unless all the righteous were gone. So

118
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 2: the angels seized him and his wife and his two

119
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 2: daughters by the hand, and they brought him out and

120
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 2: set him outside the city. They commanded again, escape for

121
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 2: your life. Do not look back or stop anywhere in

122
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 2: the valley escape to the hills lest you be destroyed

123
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 2: with the city. Lot responded to them and said, please

124
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 2: do me another great kindness. Spare the neighboring town Zor,

125
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,559
Speaker 2: so we can settle there. The angel said to him again,

126
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 2: I will do as you ask. Now, flee, judgment is coming.

127
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 2: When Lot reached Zoar, the sun had risen, and the

128
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 2: Lord caused fire, ash and sulfur to fall on Sodom

129
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 2: and Gomorrah. In the distance, Lot and his family could

130
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 2: hear the cries of those in the city. The city

131
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 2: of Sodom, a nest of rape, murder, and wickedness, fell

132
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 2: under the fist of the almighty. Lot's wife, longing for

133
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 2: the city of wickedness, again looked back. Despite the angel's warning. There,

134
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 2: Lot's wife turned to a pillar of salt and died,

135
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 2: eventually crumbling beneath the ash and fire. Early the next morning,

136
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 2: Abraham went to the place where he had stood before

137
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 2: the Lord. He looked down towards Sodom and Gomorrah and

138
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 2: toward the valley. Behold, the smoke of the land went

139
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 2: up like a furnace. Lot's story would not end here, yet,

140
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 2: he would rise to repentance like his uncle Abraham. No,

141
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 2: Lot's story does not end with him as the hero.

142
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 2: Yet God continues to be faithful, and God is the

143
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 2: ultimate hero.

144
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 3: Just as Abraham did. When he saw the travelers approaching

145
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 3: his tent. Lot saw the two angels coming and went

146
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 3: out to meet them, bowing down to show reverence and

147
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 3: honor to them. But that is where the similarities d

148
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 3: between Abraham and Lot. He didn't prepare a feast for

149
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 3: these men. He fed them just some unleven bread, but

150
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 3: no faty calf, no milk, no kurds. They didn't sit

151
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 3: in the shade of a tree enjoying fellowship with each other.

152
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 3: Lot's first instinct, rather, born out of his knowledge of

153
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 3: this place in which he had remained with his family compromised,

154
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 3: was to hide these divine beings. But the angels were

155
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 3: not there to be safe or to hide. They were

156
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 3: there to see just how evil this city had become.

157
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 3: And remember, according to the scriptures, angels are holy being.

158
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 3: Of course, God did not need firsthand evidence or for

159
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 3: scouts angel scouts to find righteous men. He knows all,

160
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 3: He sees the instincts and the sins of every heart.

161
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 3: But he had an agreement with Abraham, so the angels

162
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 3: were there to witness the evil. They were, in effect

163
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 3: on a mission of espionage. Lot knew very well that

164
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 3: he was in an evil place, So why didn't he leave?

165
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 3: Why didn't he pick up his family and get out

166
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 3: of this place? Or maybe we should ask ourselves, why

167
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 3: don't we flee an evil situation when we have the chance?

168
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 3: What's the problem here? Why did he stay? Was it

169
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 3: for comfort? Was it wealth? Was it familiarity?

170
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 2: No.

171
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 3: Lot had given up protecting his family a long time ago,

172
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 3: it seems, but he was intent on protecting these visitors,

173
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 3: even to the point of sacrificing his own daughter's virgins

174
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 3: to the wicked, wretched men who were trying to rape

175
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 3: and abuse the angelic beings. We see that even this

176
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 3: is not a deterrent for the men of Sodom. Their

177
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:44,199
Speaker 3: desires are so depraved, gone from what God created them

178
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 3: to be, that they reject Lot's offer. This is a shocking,

179
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 3: stunning display of the nature of sin. God completely out

180
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 3: of control, unrestrained. They do not know it yet, but

181
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 3: this is going to have devastating consequences for their city.

182
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 3: Not only could God not find ten righteous men, he

183
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 3: could barely find one. The least evil man in the

184
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 3: town was Lot, who had offered his flesh and blood

185
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 3: to be brutalized by these wicked men. Lot is severely

186
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 3: compromised at every level. Somehow this was enough to save Lot,

187
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 3: because the angels tell him to gather his family and lead,

188
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 3: never looking back. Did you catch what is happening here?

189
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 3: The towns were going to be destroyed completely. God's justice

190
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 3: would be served because of the great evil in the area.

191
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 3: Lot should have wanted to flee, to get as far

192
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 3: away as possible, as soon as possible. He was told

193
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 3: to flee to the mountains. But what did he do?

194
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 3: Genesis nineteen, verses eighteen and nineteen gives us the response.

195
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 3: But Lot said to them, Oh, my lords, now behold,

196
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 3: your servant has found favor in your sight, and you

197
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 3: have magnified your loving kindness, which you have shown to

198
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 3: me by saving my life. But I cannot escape to

199
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 3: the mountains, for the disaster will overtake me and I

200
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 3: will die. Failing to trust to deliver him through his escape,

201
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 3: he asked them to spare the nearest town of Zoar,

202
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 3: so he could settle there. When we flee from sin,

203
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 3: when we run away from wickedness and evil. We must

204
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 3: get away as far as possible, as soon as possible,

205
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 3: But how often do we keep sin close, cherishing it

206
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 3: even in our hearts. They agree to let him go there,

207
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 3: so Lot takes his family and they go to Zoar.

208
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 3: They've been warned not to look back on the cities

209
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 3: of Sodomi Goemora. But Lot's wife is so seduced by

210
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 3: the city where sin abounded that she had to take

211
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 3: one last Was it a longing look? It was her

212
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 3: last act, as she turned into a pillar of salt,

213
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 3: crumbling into oblivion, just as the city she had fled.

214
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 3: When God gives you an escape, a chance to sever

215
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 3: your ties with sin, to break away, don't look back,

216
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 3: don't go there again, for the old life of sin

217
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 3: will paralyze you, and Satan himself will destroy you. The

218
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 3: judgment of God will fall upon you. Heavenly, Father, thank

219
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 3: you for rescuing us from our sin. Thank you for

220

221
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 3: our hearts and how your justice cannot be avoided. Thank

222
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 3: you for your son Jesus, who took the penalty of

223
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 3: our sin and wickedness upon his own life at the

224
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 3: Cross so that we could have a brand new life
