The Bible’s central theme is re-establishing communion, a delight in one another. So often we allow our guilt, fear & shame to break that. Then we look to Jesus and see that in every way his life’s story was filled with grit. Yet he maintained deep communion with God & his people, showing us the way to do the same. Forgive your brother, love your enemies, do good to those who spitefully use you. No backing way with guilt, fear or shame. Embrace the way of Jesus & the joy of deep communion.
I read a story, years ago, that a gentleman was saved after reading the genealogies… and it was because he saw that God cares for individuals.

Thank you so much for this.
