【Exodus 19:5】

「'Now therefore, 　if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, 　then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; 　for all the earth is Mine.」　　Amen. The Israelites were never a people of treasure. They were a people who always grumbled whenever something went wrong. But God saw them as a treasure. He rescued them from Egypt with miracles, led them with a pillar of fire and a pillar of cloud, provided water when they thirsted and food when they hungered, and never abandoned them even though they complained again and again. Just like Jesus who redeemed us from our sinfulness with the death of the cross....　May we keep our hearts and minds on the love of the cross today....　　　God bless you.   See you tomorrow.
