He wants us to experience that peace. He wants us to experience the peace that Jesus has for us. Not a peace of this world because look at what the world does. Look at the division the world does. Look at what they did. Look at what the world did to my children. But if I focus on Jesus, I will have a part of that peace. [00:19:31] (27 seconds)  #PeaceBeyondTheWorld

Am I better than the caretakers? Am I better than the people that would sedate the kids? No. Not. Because I still sin. And my sin still sets me apart from God. All sin sets you apart from God. I'm Barabbas. I'm Barabbas. We are Barabbas. My sins might look different, but still, I need Jesus to bring me to God. [00:20:00] (47 seconds)  #SinSeparatesUsAll

That's the interesting point. I'm putting myself in a cage that I have a key to. All I have to do is focus on Jesus and forgive. And all we have to do is lay it at the cross. That cross is the answer. [00:25:01] (40 seconds)  #ForgivenessIsFreedom
