Grace/Goodness of God

We often see the pictures of Jesus hanging on the cross but the crucifixion was only one part of a much longer journey to the cross. And gloriously the cross was not the end. He is risen.

For forty years the Children of Israel wandered in the deserts. Over and over they rebelled against God, disavowing His commitment of goodness to them. Yet time after time He provided a way of escape from the resulting judgments they brought on themselves.

God’s covenant people were hopelessly enslaved in Egypt, but our God of hope had not forgotten His covenant with Abraham. Man, today may sense this same hopelessness but our Redeemer has already come.
