“Bad Reception”
(Feb 3, 2013) God’s promise to the prophets– to be with them so they do not need to be afraid– seems on the surface to be an empty one, as prophet after prophet is harassed, degraded, threatened, and killed. Or maybe the promise of presence isn’t a guarantee of safety and ease, but a source of courage and strength. (Jeremiah 1:4-10; Luke 4:21-30)
