IV. Conclusion
I enjoyed listening to you develop this sermon, Bro. And it was a beautiful conclusion. (I was ready to hear the song, too!) Thanks for all of that. As we get closer to Easter it really helps to remember that there is no feeling we have had or will have that Jesus himself has not suffered through. Peace. TA
