Preaching (1826)
  1. The will of God may be perfect, but it is not always pleasant.
  2. He does what is central to God’s own essence: Jesus lives out the self-giving nature of God.
  3. God could kill or make alive, or He could wound or heal. Mercifully and thankfully His choice was life.
  4. God remains recklessly, wastefully, even foolishly generous with us. And through us, He is reaching out in the same way to all His human creatures.
  5. God puts Himself on trial in order to demonstrate to His people that He is their only qualified deliverer.
  6. When you see even the best of who you are apart from Christ, you are not only ready to give it up, but you cannot wait to flush it away.
  7. Christ’s righteousness, now our own, calls us into a similarly radical work of reconciliation in the world.
  8. The first Exodus for God’s people was from Egypt. The second Exodus is for the exiles in Isaiah. The greatest Exodus would be for all people with Jesus.
  9. He received his father’s love, forgiveness, and celebration. But was he ever tempted to wander again?
