People will remain divided until they discover the gift of forgiveness. In Christ, we find the power to forgive all, because He died for all. We learn to forgive ourselves and one another. In Him, we learn to love all, because God loves all.
The Point: While the world divides, Christ gives us the power to help hold it together.
Next Steps: Forgive someone every day this week, because we can!

Life is more than physical existence. Science can try to explain how we got here, but it cannot tell us why we are here. Christ does that. In Christ, we do not merely exist. We live. He is our life, in this world and the next.
The Point: Christ gives us options. We can choose a better way to live.

In the remodeling world, there are two general options. We can just fix the obvious failings, or we can tear down and rebuild. Christ comes so that we can be entirely remade. In this life, He rebuilds us spiritually. In the next life, He rebuilds us physically. His fullness will enable our complete restoration.

For centuries, God told His story mostly through one people in one part of the world. Throughout this period, there were hints of His future plans, but most of His intentions were shrouded in mystery. In Christ, however, God reveals the truth behind this mystery, His eternal plan to reclaim His creation.

Christ’s power to reunite us comes from His identity. He is both fully divine and fully human. He alone has this identity, so only He can save us from our destructive ways. Because of who He is, He can reconcile a world that seems to be ripping itself apart.

Researchers have shown that we are biologically and psychologically wired to please someone. in the opening chapter of his letter, Paul prays that His readers would live worthy lives by pleasing God. He puts in the right order. When we try first to please ourselves or someone else, we mess with a fundamental part of our nature. Christ comes to restore that desire within us.

Memory can be a blessing or a curse, depending upon what we are remembering. Our more powerful memories constantly push themselves into and influence our present. Through Joshua, therefore, God commands His people to memorialize and remember this event, so that it can guide them far into the future when they encounter new challenges.

At last the day comes when planning gives way to action. However, this was no ordinary plan and no ordinary action. God made it clear that He was the true Leader of His people, leaving no doubt about whose vision they were following.

Who would want to fill the sandals of Moses? Few would be foolish enough to try. Joshua was no fool, but God called him to do the impossible, to lead a people that frequently exasperated his powerful predecessor. What could possibly give him the courage to face this new and nearly impossible challenge?
The Point: In changing and uncertain times, God calls us to continue His work of gathering His people.

Some truths change us more than others. The fact Jesus rose from the dead has the potential to radically transform our lives, if we are willing to consider it. The life that Jesus offers can empower us all the way, though our dark times, until we too are raised to join Him in His Father's home.

Our world has become very proficient at placing people in categories. From an early age, we are trained to count people in or out for all types of reasons. Jesus reminds His disciples, however, that His categories have very little to do with ours. As we seek to do our part in restoring order in a chaotic world, we will have to see people as He sees them.
The Point: Follow His rule and trust His promise.

As we wait for God’s will to be done, we may be tempted to think that the future matters more than the present. Our despair or cynicism can lead us to discount the time we have now. In a parable about waiting, Jesus reminds us that we truly must use each day wisely, because He is still working among us.
