Reconciliation Through the Cross: the Heart and the Goal of History

Genesis 50:15-21; Romans 14:1-12; Matthew 18:21-35

God’s creation is filled with amazing creatures, some of which dedicate their lives to making peoples’ lives fuller and better. Since 1942, the Guide Dogs for the Blind association has graduated more than 16,000 person and dog teams from its training programs. The canine guides assist their human teammates each day of their lives together. The guidance they give is expert and dependable. Good guidance in every stage of life is essential! Throughout Scripture, our Lord promises His presence and His divine guidance to sustain and direct His people. Paul summed up that blessed relationship very simply: “So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s” (Romans 14:8). Seeking the Lord’s guidance and responding to His promptings brings blessing to our lives!
