To The Exiles

Last week we took some time to ponder what it would be like to have our homeland conquered, our place of worship destroyed, and our leaders exiled. This Sunday we’ll hear what message God has for his people that he sent into exile in Babylon.

Jeremiah 29 records the prophet’s letter to the exiles, and in it we see that God is still at work. It seems that they’ve lost everything, but even in that devastating loss, God’s good purpose for Judah is not thwarted.

See you Sunday -

As we behold the face of God in the face of Christ, we are transformed into his image. This is what it means to be fully human—to become like Jesus, the truly human one, and to grow more and more in the freedom of the children of God.
