Worship Service for October 20, 2024
Oct 20, 2024 • Rev. Robert Schaedel
Imagine someone offering you a gift—a gift that you cannot get on your own. How do you think the giver of that gift would react if you rejected it? That is what today’s Readings are about. The children of Israel refused to go into the Promised Land. God’s response was, “They shall not enter My rest.” They had been slaves and gotten a good taste of the harshness of the wilderness. Yet they refused to go into a land where they would have rest. Today, God offers you rest through the gift of the forgiveness of sins. Do not miss out on the rest God offers you right now through Jesus.
