Today, we journey to Sinai to see how God didn't just rescue his people from suffering but entered into a lifelong covenant with them. Through Holy Baptism, we are welcomed into that same promise. Freed from sin and death, we now have access to God’s grace and a purpose: joining Jesus in his mission for this broken world.
