“God doesn’t want us to simply accept the times or situations of this world. He gives us the authority to change things for the better…with him. That’s what happens in every story we love from Scripture. The Red Sea is an impenetrable wall of water that means the end of Moses and the Israelites…until the sea parts. Water is what it is…until Jesus turns it into wine. The sea is just something you sink in…until Peter walks on it. The crucifixion of Jesus is the end of him…until it isn’t. In other words, things never have to remain just what they are because God is continually creating, redeeming, and transforming. What appears inevitable…actually isn’t.”
