Encountering I AM
From Sunday's sermon and worship bulletin... an image of our hope in the future, in God's care.
Jody's message, "Everlasting Freedom," began with God's promise that we possess real, meaningful freedom and agenthood (from the covenant with Noah). Yet there is a vast Unknown, beyond our individual lives (which limit our exercise of freedom) and beyond the life of our very universe.
God promises Abraham that God will hold us in that Unknown. That's what I found in God's answer to Abraham's legitimate protests and incredulousness. Beyond the expectations we can hold within our universe ("But, I'm 99!"), God promises to Be, and be with us ("I AM, God Almighty").
