Exodus encourages the people of God to have faith, because in your remembrance you have hope. Exodus calls you to be bold, for we are not called to measure success by human standards. We are called to be faithful.

We are all made for relationship with one another. People are longing for authenticity, truth, transparency, and community. A place of grace where they came come to the table with their Samsonite load of baggage and know they can receive hospitality without condition, an open seat at the table, gathered around a common cup of forgiveness and grace.

Always remember, wherever you are in your story, there is more life to come. The past is to be forgotten and buried. Resurrection awaits in next chapters in your story.

The primary testimony of Jesus’ message of grace and forgiveness is the unity of our church.

Here’s our job description as followers of Jesus Christ: we are to create individual portraits of grace to the one who is connected to us. No matter their baggage, no matter their background, we are charged to surround another’s life with the vibrant colors of God’s love and God’s grace and forgiveness.

You may be living in the midst of an eruption. Life up close is full of mud, ashes, and debris. But friends, from the illustrations from nature, from scripture, from a cloud of witnesses the word of hope to you is that a flower will bloom in the midst of death.
