Happy Monday to all! As we worshipped yesterday, we praised our Redeemer God and Risen King who reigns forever and ever. We looked at the elevation of Joseph from prison to the second highest ruler in Egypt in Genesis 41. From Genesis to Revelation that Bible teaches us that God seeks to save and rescue us from our sins and make us His own dear children. Just as God worked through Joseph to save many lives during the famine that took place in Egypt and the Middle East, God works through His children today to rescue and save lives and bring about His redemptive purposes for the world. God sent His only begotten son Jesus not to condemn the world but to save the world. God’s purpose is to save and rescue lives. His warnings in His Word given in love cause us to fear and see our need for rescue. Then eternal life revealed in God’s word through Jesus points us to our Rescuer. God calls believers as His servants who alone can understand and interpret God’s revelation to the world. God gives us understanding of what He is doing. We see the deliverance and elevation of God’s children to save and rescue lives. God works through His people to rescue and provide life to others.
Remember to keep praying continually for each other. None of us know fully the burdens our brothers and sisters in Christ might be carrying.
Love being your pastor!
