There is an interpretation of Exodus that teaches that Moses not only put the tablets of the law that he received on Mount Sinai into the Ark of the Covenant, but also was commanded by God to add the broken pieces of the first tablets that he broke in anger after seeing the Israelites worshipping a golden calf. The broken and the whole were together in the same ark. Likewise, the broken and the whole are together in the embrace of a loving God. The image of God is upon all of us. If we want to be successful in God’s eyes, we must show the image of a serving, humble God.
Faith is not about a church doctrine or power or privilege. It is about service to others-service to the point of sacrifice. It can be expressed equally through individual actions and experiences as it can be in churchwide attitudes, actions and public declarations. Each and every day we will have the opportunity to show how Christ’s love can bring healing to our hurting world. The only way we can do this clearly is with the greatest humility-just as Jesus did when he washed his disciples' feet, serving others, and dying on the cross.
I just want to remind you that this building is a place where people meet to worship the church is who were sitting inside the building today! There is still much work to do! Your journey isn't over it's just begun as we all need is show Jesus to everyone outside these walls. There is a lot of people out there that need to be shown love through Jesus in us. I am gonna leave you with this scripture
John 13:35
[35] Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.”
Just Love that's what the world needs!
