Life is a journey, isn’t it? On the short journey to Emmaus Jesus listens to the disciples, He teaches them and then He reveals Himself (⁠Luke 24:1-12⁠). Let Jesus join your journey and He will do the same. Let confusion become clarity, despair turn to joy, and watch fear dissipate and be replaced by mission (⁠John 16:16-22⁠). Jesus will meet us on our road and give us meaning. Let Him lead.

Come to Him and be born again.

How do we feel about God’s delays? On His way to heal a prominent leader’s daughter, Jesus delays to heal a woman who had been suffering for 12 years (⁠Luke 8:40-56⁠). During that delay the child died. In Jesus’ perfect timing, He gave much more than healing. They both were desperate; they both had faith, and they both needed something much more.

He knows more than we know (⁠Ephesians 2:4-5⁠). This is what happens when heaven meets earth: recreation.

]]> We wrap up our summer series on Galatians with a landscape view of what Grace through Faith in Jesus Christ’s Sacrifice and Resurrection truly mean. Just as the cross changed from a symbol of savage brutality and intimidation to a symbol of enduring love and faithful hope, we also become a New Creation when we believe in Him.
