… Lastly, verse 49, write down perfectly Christ-like. Verse 49, just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the man of heaven. No more are you and I gonna be needed to be commanded in the ways of God. Y'all are not gonna have to come listen to me or anybody else teach every week.
