Who we are buried with matters. But there is no need to go out and find a dead prophet so you can join him six feet under.

The promise here is that God is present with us in our troubles, issuing commands to save us before we ask. God does not ignore our suffering and cries.

The Exodus always remains a continual and present reality for the people of Israel—it is always on their mind. It was and remained the big salvific event of the Old Testament, yet at the same time it points forward to what God will yet/continue to do to save His people.

Paul puts everything he has gained by his religious life and training (verses 4-7) onto the scales opposite life with Christ and finds a real bargain.

This living Word breaks and crushes. It comes down as crushing judgment on those who reject the Son. But it promises to heal and restore all those who fall on the Son broken, contrite, and in faith.

Belonging to Christ means we have a place where we fit, a resting place where we are at peace because we know our Lord accepts us as His own.

You can die now, you can let go, and because that is true, you can begin to live!

God is not a preoccupied parent, he’s an invested and interested tender loving Father. He values what perplexes us.
