If you have your Bible, please turn to John chapter 13. I want to talk tonight about Glory and Love.
Now, how many have heard the phrase, "Talk turkey. Let's talk turkey?" Has anybody heard that phrase? Anybody use that phrase? You know, that phrase has been around a long time. We have a lot of idioms in English. That's one of the things when people are learning English from another country, they say English is hard to learn because we have idioms that don't make sense to them. You know, "You're pulling my leg." They don't know what you're talking about with that. "Talk turkey" is another one that they wouldn't understand what you're saying, but we know what that means.

There was a colonist and an Indian named Wampum, and they went out together to hunt. And they spent the day hunting and at the end of the day all they had was one turkey and one crow. And so, the white man said to the Indian, "Wampum, I'll give you the choice. You have the choice.

You don't talk turkey to me one bit. There's no turkey in that choice for me." Let's talk turkey. Let's talk openly and frankly and honestly and practically.
Well, in John 13, beginning in verse 31, all the way through the end of John 17, Jesus is talking turkey with His disciples. Judas has left. The Bible says that t ...
