- Imagine there was a great king who loved his bride more than anything, and he's going to go on a long journey.
- 00:14
- And before he goes on that journey, he calls us, he calls you, he calls one man and he says,
- 00:20
- You will be the steward and you will take care of my bride. Now she's most precious to me.
- 00:27
- Here are the decrees by which you will care for her. This is what you shall do and shall not do with her.

- 02:30
- And he reaches out and he touches it in a forbidden manner. And God essentially says to us through killing
