April 19, 2015: You Are Me – Michael Hidalgo

Generations after God invited Abraham to bless the world, the descendants of Abraham are forced into slavery in Egypt. Day after day they are exploited and day after day they cry out. And God hears their cry and delivers them from the powers of Egypt and the grip of Pharaoh. He lead his people to a mountain and says, “Be for me a holy nation of priests …”

God restates his invitation to Abraham to the people of Israel. He chooses them, for better or worse, to be those who carried the destiny of the world on their shoulders. Their answer to this invitation? A resounding “Yes!” And thus begins the journey of Israel as a nation working with God in renewing this world.
