“What Is the Sign?”
Ex 12:1-14; Matthew 18:15-20
As we launch or continue our journey of faith, are we called to look for signs of God’s presence or are we called to be a sign of God’s presence? The answer, as you might expect, is yes! We are the ones who are trying to be tuned into God’s wavelength, listening to God’s broadcast. Therefore, we look for the signs that God is at work in and around us always. One of the things we do when we gather for worship and for fellowship is to celebrate those signs and share them with one another. But we can also avoid the tendency to look inward only to see God at work. We might be surprised by where and from whom we encounter God’s presence when we open our eyes to what is around us. It is a reminder that we don’t have an exclusive hold on the grace and love of God.
