this_o history_n at_o large_a only_o we_o have_v thus_o far_o of_o the_o suffering_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o garden_n first_o how_o heavy_a â—_o weighty_a a_o thing_n sin_n be_v all_o this_o be_v not_o for_o his_o sin_n but_o for_o our_o sin_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n next_o you_o see_v how_o heavy_a a_o thing_n the_o wrath_n of_o god_n be_v that_o follow_v on_o sin_n for_o as_o jesus_n christ_n take_v on_o his_o back_n the_o burden_n of_o our_o sin_n so_o do_v he_o also_o the_o weight_n of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n and_o the_o punishment_n that_o follow_v upon_o sin_n if_o you_o know_v not_o this_o you_o know_v nothing_o of_o christ_n three_o you_o see_v the_o greatness_n of_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n to_o man_n that_o first_o take_v on_o his_o back_n so_o

the_o soul_n but_o to_o leave_v this_o and_o to_o mark_v the_o purpose_n of_o john_n his_o purpose_n be_v only_o to_o let_v you_o see_v that_o when_o jesus_n christ_n die_v he_o die_v with_o a_o

of_o john_n to_o let_v we_o see_v that_o jesus_n christ_n offer_v up_o a_o voluntary_a sacrifice_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n for_o except_o he_o have_v offer_v up_o a_o voluntary_a
