  and get an encouraging text meant specifically
• 0:50
  for men who are trying to be godly men and live
• 0:52
  for the Lord Jesus Christ. I'm thinking today,
• 0:54
  then, of Matthew 20, verse 22. Jesus replies
• 0:58
  to those who are asking to sit at his right hand
• 1:01
  and his left in the kingdom of God. He says,
• 1:03
  you do not know what you are asking. Are you
• 1:05
  able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?
• 1:07
  And they said to him, we are able. And we ought
• 1:10
  to realize that we are not able to be Jesus.
• 1:12
  We're not able to be like Jesus. We cannot drink
• 1:14
  the cup of wrath for our own sins or for anyone
• 1:17
  else. We need a Lord. someone who will be in
• 1:19
  charge of us, a Savior, someone who paid the
• 1:21
  price for our sins. We need a leader in our life
• 1:24
  that will last for an eternity because we want
• 1:26
  to be eternal creations living with God after
• 1:28
  we die off this earth or if Jesus comes again.
• 1:31
  They were not able to do what they thought they
• 1:33
  were able to do, nor are we able if we should
• 1:36
  think that we are something special or can do
• 1:38
  all that. We need Jesus, and Jesus is willing
• 1:41
  to do it for us. Believe today. Receive today
• 1:44
  a Lord and Savior.
