11. The Way Home
Manage episode 452462298 series 3596773
Daniel 9 is one of the most difficult passages in the Old Testament, and yet it’s central message is clear: God wants to bring his people home, and he will do it through Jesus Christ. The road home begins with God’s love for us, not our efforts or morality. And it leads to a home far better than we hoped: an existence free from sin, injustice, and pain, where all God’s promises are fulfilled. The way there is through God himself in human flesh, Jesus Christ, dying in our place.
