Acts 21:1-14 - God's Costly Will

Good morning, church. When I was growing up, um I was always excited to watch the space shuttle take off and just astronauts going into space. I'm a huge science fiction fan. It's been cool recently with Elon Musk and SpaceX watching Americans go back into space, knowing that right now there's astronauts sitting on the international space station, but just thinking sitting on top of a rocket, the danger of that thing, that these astronauts said, this is what I wanna do. It must be worth it for them to strap themselves on basically at top of a gas tank and get shot in the space. I was thinking of this last week with all the fires in California firefighters who sign up for a very dangerous job. They say it must be worth it to go, hopefully you'll never have to use a firefighter that they would say, I just love to sit in the firehouse all day, every day, never work. But then there's a fire and they rush into that danger. It's like a soldier that says, I never want to have to fight a war, but when they're sent off, they go into danger. I don't know Roosevelt writing during World War II in 1942, the wife of the president says, you cannot send your child into danger and not spend your days and nights praying for their safety and for the safety of all the others who are dear to some mother's heart. When I was growing up, you would think of the space shell or a firefighter. It's this adventure you're going on. You don't think much about the other people that are in that person's life when the fire bell rings as a family that's there while the fireman, a firewoman heads to there. When that astronaut sitting on that rocket, there's other people that love that astronaut that are watching and waiting when soldiers go off to war, there's others left behind. And all of them are saying, it's worth it. It's worth it. Today we want to look at Paul and his journey to Jerusalem and his commitment to Christ in Acts 21. And you may be here in your walk with Christ today saying, is it worth it? Is he worth it? Is he worth that type of sacrifice, that type of commitment, that type of suffering? I' going to leave you with this idea today by the end of the message, which is this, that following God's will is costly, but worth the cost. Following God's will is costly, but worth the cost. As you turning to X 21, little background. Paul has been on his third missionary journey. He is now heading back to Jerusalem, and he has with him a relief offering from all the churches he had planted during this journey. They have collected money, mostly Gentile churches. He has that money, and now he's on his way back to Jerusalem, making kind of a bee line, going as fast as he can, you're gonna see as we describe as travels, that he's not staying long in any one place. He's going one place to the next, partly because I think he has this relief offering money and he's wanting to make sure nothing happens, you couldn't just wire transfer money in those days. You had to carry it. And mainly because in Acts 2022, Paul says, and now compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem. If you have your Bible Bibles look at acts chapter 21. We're going to read verses one to 14 and then unpack what we can see in these verses about God's costly will. And he says, and when we had parted from them and set sail, them would be the elders and Ephesus where he had met with them in Melitus. He said, we came by a straight course to coast and the next day to roads and from there to Patara, and having found a ship crossing to Phoenicia, we went aboard and set sail when we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left, we sailed to Syria and landed at Tyre, for there the ship was to unload its cargo, and having sought out the disciples, we stayed there for seven days, and through the spirit there are telling Paul not to go on to Jerusalem. when our days there were ended, we departed and went on our journey, and they all with wives and children, accompanied us until we were outside the city, and kneeling down on the beach, we prayed. and said farewell to one another. Then we went on board the ship, and they returned home. When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais and we greeted the brothers and stayed with them for one day. On the next day we departed and came to Caesarea and we entered the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven and stayed with him. He had four unmarried daughters who prophesied. while we were staying for many days, a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea and coming to us, he took Paul's belt and bound his own feet and hands, and said, thus says the holy Spirit, this is how the Jews at Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt, and deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles. When we heard this, we and the people there urged him not to go up to Jerusalem. Then Paul answered, what are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart, for I am ready not only to be imprisoned, but even to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus, and since he would not be persuaded, we ceased and said, let the will of the Lord be done, following God's will is costly, but worth the cost. The first thing we see in this passage kind of sprinkled throughout all 14 verses is that Paul was following God's costly will in his travel. And this goes all the way back. Just put a map up real quick so you can see what he was doing. This is his third missionary journey at the end of it as he's coming back. So when we name all these places, we're right in the middle where it says, Melitus is where our story picks up. That's where he was where Ephesus is, and he's coming down all the way over here to Tyre Ptolemais and Cesarea. If you look right up here on the left, Antioch is an interesting place, about ten or 12 years before our part of the story, Paul was in Antioch, and the spirit had set him aside, you can read this in Acts 13, two through four, it says, well, they were worshiping the Lord and fasting the Holy Spirit said, set apart for me, Barnabas and saw for the work to which I have called them. then after fasting and praying, they laid their hands on them and sent them off, so being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia and that from there, they sailed to Cyprus. And that begins Paul's missionary work. and throughout the book of acts, if you've been with us, you've seen that the Spirit was directing all of Paul's travel. So it says that Paul, we went to Costston Roads and Pat, and then we sailed and we sailed past Cyprus. Luke doesn't say this in the account, but I wouldn't be surprised if Paul was on the boat looking north because it says we saw Cyprus and he sees Cyprus and it sends him 10 years back. And he says, God, that's the first place you sent me when we left Antioch, when Barnabas and I were traveling as he looks back and starts thinking of all the travels he's done, all the places God has sent him, all the suffering he went through, all the joys and excitement, all the victories he had as he looks at Cyprus and begins to recall what all that God has done as he was following God's costly will in his travels, since they then landed at Tyre, and they stayed there and unloaded, and then they went down to Ptolemais and then the Caesarea will come back to Caesarea in a little bit. Paul stays there for our story. He's going to end up eventually in Jerusalem. But all along this path, God was directing Paul. Paul wasn't showing up at these places on his own will, just saying that's where I want to go. There are places in acts where Paul tried to go to certain places, and the spirit said, nope, that's not what we're going right now. we're going to this place. And as he traveled these paths, it was costly to him. It was costly to the people he was with. It wasn't easy all the time. We also see, though, in these 14 verses as we unpack them and think about what would it have been like if you were there? Because this is really easy to repass this, especially with all the names of the places and just kind of skip past and not see what was happening. I think we also see that the believers followed God's costly will in their relationships. There are these moments in this travel where Paul is encountering people. And I think all of this goes back to Jesus and a thing he said in John 13, 34 and 3 last week of his life, he's talking with his inner circle of disciples, and he says the new command I give to you that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples if you have love one for another. this is Jesus like right before he's going to be crucified saying, how will they know that your mind you'll love each other. Paul threw out his letters to the churches, expresses deep love for them. And in this short passage, we see this repeated time and time again. When he's in Melitus, he says after we had departed, our torn ourselves away from them. If you go back just a little bit in acts 20 and look at verse 30 and 38 from last week's sermon. And he says, and when he has said these things, this the things where he was going to Jerusalem, this is where God had him as he knelt down and prayed with them, and these were the effphesian leaders that he had spent three years with and there was much weeping on the part of all. They embraced Paul and kissed him, being sorrowful most of all because of the word he had spoken, that they would not see his face again, and they accompanied him to the ship. And this is so true often, right? That Paul's on this adventure in a way, if you're reading the story, like we're tracking Paul and he's God sending to all these places and he's on this adventure and he's moving forward to this new thing, but we see some people left behind. So my wife and I are now empty nesters and we had our our first Christmas with our all of our girls back in the house, both of them in the house for a whole month, and then they went back to college, I see some of the Spurgeon basketball team. Did y'all go home home for the break? We all excited to come back and ready to get back to campus and kind of pumped, say yes, it would help my message. Yes. And then your parents are left at home, like, oh, come on. Right? Because when I was in college and I come home for break, I love my parents, but it's like the break's over. I'm ready to go back to the thing I'm at. I didn't think much about them. Now I'm them and going, oh, my kids are gone. and their thing they're doing is costly. To me, we have its Virgin College where I teach. They have the fusion program where they'll bring in college students and they'll train for two semesters and in the summer, they'll go out to difficult places in the world. So they're not heading out to easy places to do missionary work. It's dangerous places. And we have a commissioning ceremony in the spring and all the students are excited. They're like, we're about to head out for the thing we've trained for. We're going on this adventure, and then you see all the parents. and they're like, okay, this is God's will, but I'mm not excited about you like heading off. They're the ones being left behind. We just last week, Tyler Ros is one of our pastors. We were hanging out and his in laws were in town. and they're missionaries in Africa. They were in town, they got to stay several weeks, got to see the grandkids. and I was talking with Abby's dad, and he says, yeah, we gotta go back. but we hate it. It's it's so hard and Tyler and Abby and their boys and girls are like grandparents are going away. It's like God has them going back to Africa. And they had this thing they're doing, but there's this relationship that existed where the people left behind are going, hey, I'm I'm bearing the cost of this also. We see the Ephesians disciples do this. When they come to Tyre, when Paul lands at Tyre in verse three and following, says he stayed there seven days, and when he got ready to leave, all the church, moms, dads, husbands, wives, kids all came to the beach and prayed with him. And then in Caesarea in verse 12, where he comes, it says he's heard that he's going to have suffering. And so what he does, he goes to them and then they're pleading with Paul saying, don't go to Jerusalem. Paul says, I got to go. God's calling me. But there is these deep relationships that have been formed in their life. Paul invested himself in others and they invested in him so that when he was going to Jerusalem, it says that those in Ephesus went back home. Like we forget about them, right? Just as you're reading acts. You's go just following Paul, what's going to happen in Jerusalem? He's going to suffer. What's going to happen next? But there is this whole world taking place in Ephesus entire and cesarea, where the people who had urged Paul, don't go, we care for you, don't go, are left there to do what God wants them to do in that place, that they deeply invested in these relationships because Jesus themselves said, you'll know them by their love for each other. And this love had impacted their life and made it difficult to say goodbye. It made it costly for Paul as he's following God's will, directly doing that, and for all the people he was leaving at each spot as they're saying, okay, God, if this is what you want, off we go. And they were left behind to still do God's will in that place. We just don't get that story in the book of acts. We don't see that. It's also interesting when we think about this relationships that are being built, this costliness to these relationships. Paul Anne's incesseria, and he stays at the house of someone who's interesting if you can think back several months to acts 13. He stays at the house of Philip the Evangelist. This would have been in Paul's time 25 years ago. So 25 years ago was the first time he probably ran into Philip, the evangelist, and now he's staying in his house. 25 years ago in Jerusalem, Philip and a man named Stephen and five others were appointed to take care of the widow's offerings, the meals in Jerusalem. And when Stephen started sharing the gospel and he gets stoned to death in Jerusalem and standing there holding the coats of all the men throwing the stones was one Paul. Stephen and Philip would have been good friends, would have been serving together. Philip would have known of, probably witnessed, been around when Stephen died at the hands of Paul, and 25 years later, Paul is staying in Philip's house with no sense of like Philip saying, I'm going to secretly get back at you now. that Paul had gone off and found Jesus had been changed, had been welcomed back into the church. And now Philip, this costliness. I mean, this is real life. Philip, who would have had his friend killed a quarter of a century earlier by Paul has Paul in his house the reconciling ability of God in their lives. The believers, Paul and the others were following God's costly will in their relationships And finally, we see that believers followed God's costly will in their suffering, that this relationship they had built, because all of them were following with God one of them to do. They were on the journey he wanted them to be on. They were deeply committed to each other, and that creates this suffering that happens. When Lottie Moon, who was a missionary in southern Baptist life, we have a Lottieon Christmas offering. When she was beginning to think about going to China from her diaries, we know that her family kind of said no to that, said, no, you shouldn't do that. It's extremely dangerous. It's dangerous for like men to go but for a woman to go, would have been extremely dangerous to go to China. says, no, don't go. I was talking with a friend of mine this this last week, and just talk about these ideas. and he said, yeah, when I was younger, I went to Vietnam for a summer. God had said, I'm he wanted me to go over there and do mission work for a summer. And so I was raising funds and I went to my grandparents who were believers and I said, hey grandma, grandpa, God is gonna let me go to Vietnam this summer to share the gospel. And he said, my grandpa said, no, he's not. He said, no, we're not doing that. Vietnam is horribly dangerous. grandson, you're not going to Vietnam. And he said, I don't know, I think I'm supposed to. And he said, well, you're not, so don't worry about it, you shouldn't go. And he said, over time, though, his grandparents eventually said, okay, this is God's will. They helped support him. but they were still kind of like, please come back. We're terribly worried about you. Their deep relationship caused this suffering because they were willing to follow God's will. I think Paul, as he's heading through Jerusalem and and and saying, I'm willing to die in Jerusalem is taking a cue from Jesus himself. Jesus, when he was on the earth early in his ministry, you can read this in Matthew 6. He taught his disciples how to pray. He taught us how to pray. You've probably seen this prayer before. You may have prayed it. Jesus said, pray then like this, our father in heaven halled be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Sounds beautiful, doesn't it? Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. And then God says, oh Paul, here's my will right now. I need you to go to Jerusalem. And the believers in Ephesus are saying,o, Paul, there's danger coming. There's danger coming, but you have to go. Jesus said, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. He said this three years before he ends up in Jerusalem, and Matthew 16, he tells his followers that he's going to be he's going to suffer in Jerusalem. He says it this way. from that time, Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed. and on the third day be raised, and Peter took him aside to begin to rebuke him, saying, far be it from you, Lord, this shall never happen to you. Peter saying, don't go. You're telling me that suffering let not go to Jerusalem. Eventually, the disciples get on board with it, Thomas and John's gospel we call Thomas doubting Thomas all the time, but Thomas has this statement in John 11, 16 when Jesus says, I'm heading back to Jerusalem. Thomas says, called the twins said to us fellow disciples, let us also go that we may die with him. said, let us go and die with him. Now, I don't think Thomas at the time had an idea that, hey, we'll die we'll get resurrected, everything will be great. He said, I'm gonna follow Jesus. I don't know what that entails, but let's go die with him. They make it to Jerusalem. Jesus does the last week of his life, the last night of his life, he finds himself in the Garden of Gethemane praying. look what he prays in Matthew 26, and going a little further, he fell on his face and prayed saying, my father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me, nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will. Jesus had lived out the prayer he taught, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is and heaven, in Getsemane, he prays that it is some of the way let's do that, but if not, your will be done. If this is how your kingdom will come, then so be it. Paul is walking a similar path. He's heading through Jerusalem. He's been told repeatedly that you're going to suffer. Acts 203 says this, Paul says, I'm going to Jerusalem constrained by the Spirit, except that the Holy Spirit testifies to me in every city that imprisonment and affliction await me. In acts 214 says, and through the spirit, they are telling Paul not to go up to Jerusalem. Now, this could be contradictory. You could read that and go, well, the spirit is telling Paul to go to Jerusalem, and now these people in Ty are telling him not to go through the spirit. I don't think that's what it's saying. What I think is happening is what happens in Caesarea, is that the spirit speaks through the believer's entire and say, Paul, you're going to suffer. Aliction's coming away. Paul, it's at every city I'm stopping in, the spirit's telling me this is not going to end well. It's going to end in my will, but you're going to have affliction. An entire they give this message and then the people just say, hey, Paul, how about you not go? How about you not go up there? We see Luke is going do the same thing in Caesarea. Paul is in Caesarea and he's staying there many days and a prophet named Agabus shows up. You've heard of Agabus before. He showed up earlier in the book of Acts. Paul was in Antioch just beginning his time there. and Agabus comes up and says there's a famine that's coming, so Paul and Barnabas collect an offering to take to the believers in Jerusalem so they could take care of themselves. Paul's coming back now, some 10, 12, 15 years later, with another offering for Jerusalem, and Agabus shows back up. Agabus shows up and he takes Paul's belt, which would have been longer than our belts, and he says he binds his hands and he binds his feet, kind of following the steps of some Old Testament prophets like Jeremiah, who had walked around with a yoke on his shoulders for a long time, showing the people of Israel that they were gonna be imprisoned, or Ezekiel, who it says, take your hair Ezekiel and cut it and then cut in the thirds. God wouldn't let me do that symbolism, so I'm good there. But Agabus is just doing what the Old Testament prophets did, and he just visualized. Here's what's gonna happen. We do the same thing. we burn promissory notes whenever we pay off our lobby, we're gonna have a ceremony. when people build new things, we didn't do this here when we build our lobby. but you've seen the pictures right? when they're about to build something, all the people who aren't gonna do the building have a golden shovel and they're shoveling, and then they throw a little dirt, and then they leave and the real workers come in and build something. We have these symbols. Agabus does this and he says, the owner of this belt is gonna be so bound and handed over in Jerusalem. And it says that everyone, Luke and all the companions began to beg Paul not to go, look at verse 13. Paul said, what are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? for I am ready not only to be imprisoned, but even to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus, and since he would not be persuaded, we ceased and said, let the will of the Lord be done, the costly will of the Lord, following God's will is costly, but worth the cost. Jesus gave some parables about this. He said a man found a pearl of great price and he sold everything he had so he could get it. Said another man had found a treasure in a field, and he sold everything he had so he could buy that field and get that treasure. He said, I need consider the cost of what we're doing? Because no one begins to build a house unless he kind of measures up that he could finish shit. No one goes to war unless they look at their resources and say, could we complete this war Jesus is speaking to the value of who he is. Paul had already committed. We read in Philippians. He says, I consider everything is rubbish. Everything is lost just for the gaining of Christ. If I can be found in him, that means suffering, then I'll suffer. I want to be found in him because he is worth it and be connected to his resurrection. As we go forth today, some two thousand years after Paul was traveling down to Caesarea and Tyre off the coast of Cyprus, heading to Jerusalem, three questions I want to challenge you with that have you think about this week as you gather in your life groups? One, are you letting God lead your journey? Throughout the book of acts, we've seen Paul led by God, to all the places he went is explicit in this context. that Paul says, I am being led by God to Jerusalem. Paul knew exactly where he was going. He didn't know what was gonna happen. He didn't know the outcome. He just says, I'm hearing there's gonna be affliction and I'm ready for it. Are you letting God lead your journey? When I was in college, we were at a retreat and one of the campus pastors who just talking one night, uh about God's will. Young people are are like really excited about God's will, because they just want to know what am I doing? I don't know what my next steps are. I'm trying to figure out life. so there are these moments where you wrestling with God's will. And those tend to be questions like, what job should I take when I get through with college or where where should I go next to school or, you know, who am I gonna marry? just so you know young folks if you're single, unless the person you marry has a biblical name, the Bible is not gonna tell you who to marry. It's not in there. What this guy said was he said 90% of God's will for your life is in the Bible already. So the things you won't find is the name of the person you're going to marry or the exact job you should take, so you can't open the Bible and go, well, I got three job offers, which one should I take God? He said, but 90% of his will is in there. What he meant by that was, if you're on the journey with God and and you find someone to marry, you won't find that name in here, but you will find how you should behave as a spouse in the Bible. You won't find the name of the company you're going to work for or the company you're gonna start, but you will find how as an employee you should serve and be as an employer, how you should be. You won't find the name of the school you're going to go to, but you will find the type of person you should be at the school that you go to. Now, there are certain things that the Bible says we shouldn't do if you are thinking, I'm gonna do a job that's contrary to scripture, then the Bible tells you explicitly. You can't do that job. You can't do that thing. When we talk about being on a journey, are we are we letting God lead us in our journey? Most of thatinety0% of that is just the day to day. God, am I letting you make the decisions for me as I go through my day? How do I respond to my spouse? How I respond to my kids? How I respond to my coworkers, to my neighbor? and we're gonna be generous or not. All of those things are in God's word. We just are going, okay, am I gonna let you leave me. Now, I think there will be times where God's gonna say, hey, I'm taking this person and moving them here. You may not hear an audible voice, but you may have a sense of, God, I think you're moving me to a new location, you have a new place of service for me. Our own Karsten Harrison, who is on staff here. now, is preaching at another church. God's moving him to a new place. That's exciting for that to happen, for that to be taking place. You may have those moments where you sense God, is this where you want me to go and others are coming alongside saying, hey, I think that's where I want you to go. that are you letting God lead your journey? Second, are you cultivating deep relationships? It's very easy to come to church on Sunday morning and treat Sunday morning church like the AMC theater. You show up, there's a seat, you sit down, you watch, you then leave. When I go watch a movie at AMC, I don't make a single friend. I don't wanna make a single friend. I don't wanna talk to anybody. I don't wanna I go there there to get away from people. It's like I can pick my own seat now. We don't have that yet at North End where you can like, you know, pre assign your seat. We just preassigned by habit. But if you could, I'd be like, who's not near me? I'm sitting there. And so I try to just block out a seat. No, I don't want anyone around. I don't wanna make a friend at the AMC. I'm there to watch a show and go home. When you come to church that shouldn't be what you're doing. Are you cultivating deep relationships? Sunday morning is not the best place for that, life group is the best place for that. If you're not in a life group, I encourage you to find one, we have brochures out there, if you wanna talk more, come grab me, grab one of the other pastors. Hopefully life group leaders are inviting people all the time to come to their life group. We have discipleship groups and we do ministry together, we have a bide and forge. We have a lot of platforms that we use to help people connect. We can't make you develop deep relationships. That's up to each of us to go, am I going to let someone into my life? Am I going to allow them to get close to me? Because if they get close to, if you get close to them, guess what? God's will, which is costly, may lead to suffering. It could lead to God saying, hey, I want that person to go over here now. I want this person to serve over here now. But I said, well, we're real good friends. God, why'd you let me become great friends with this person and now you're gonna send them away. I said, well, that's the way it works. Are you cultivating these deep relationships so that when God calls you away somewhere or cause someone else away, it hurts, as it did with Paul, that they loved each other so much so they were willing to suffer for each other. That's what he calls us to in the church is to build these deep relationships. And finally, are you preparing to suffer for Jesus' name? I didn't ask if you want to suffer. Nobody wants to, so if you out the one, I just want to suffer, that's not the right attitude. Paul, I don't think went around going, you know what? I want nothing more than to suffer. Jesus and Getsimane wasn't praying God. I'm really excited. tomorrow I get to be crucified for you. There's gonna be awesome. There's gonna be the best day of my life. He said, if there's some other way to do this, let's do that. but I am willing to have your will be done. It's not that we go out and seek suffering, but are you preparing to suffer for Jesus' name? And I think that gets back to what Paul said that he counts everything as lost for knowing Christ. Is it worth it? The astronaut who straps himself to the top of a rocket has decided it's worth it, the risk of going up and having this explode is worth it. The firefighter who has been training and when a fire starts and he runs into that danger, he is saying it is worth it when he goes into that place. Now they had prep for that. They had trained for that. They didn't just show up and do it randomly. We as Christians should be preparing ourselves to say, God, whatever, suffering you may have for me, if you have some this week, this month, this year, am I preparing for that? Am I strengthening myself each day to go that you are worth it? Am I cultivating relationships with others that would encourage me in those moments to say he is worth it? Am I following you each day to know and experience and realize that you are indeed worth it? It's not just a slogan that I'm saying, but a life that I'm living. Following God's will is costly, but worth the cost. If you're here and you haven't given your life to Christ, if you've never committed yourself to him to forgive you for your sins, to find healing and cleansing from your brokenness, you can do that today. Our worship team is gonna come up and lead us in a song. I'm gonna go to the back corner over here. You can come back and talk with me. We'll talk about what it means to commit your life to Christ like Paul did, like so many others have. If you wanna fill out your connect cards, you can do that. and we'll reach out this week and I'll talk with you about what it means to be a follower of Christ. And if you're wanting to get involved in a life group, I don't know how, fill out that connect card and say, hey, help me. I need to get plugged into things so I can cultivate these deep relationships. We would love to help you do that. You join me in prayer. Father, we know that you are worthy. Father, we know that following you is costly, that it cost you first by sending your son to die for us so that we can be with you. Father, help us to follow in the footsteps of Jesus, who said that your will be done on earth in our lives as it is in heaven, for the strengthenness this weak for that help us to follow in the path you are sending us help us to deepen our relationships with other believers to be strengthened through them and father prepare us to suffer in whatever way you deem necessary, whether you send us somewhere or you send someone else somewhere, whether it's hostility from coworkers or neighbors, disregard from a friend who doesn't want to talk any more because of you, will strengthen us for those things to be found in you and to follow your costly will, in the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
