“Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” (Matt. 11:29) When we consider who Jesus or God is, we sometimes make assumptions, which may be right or wrong. For instance, many assume God in the Old Testament is wrathful. They make this assumption without engaging the many texts in the Old Testament that show God’s mercy and grace for his people and others. Assumptions can be based on cultural images or influences. They can be things we have heard from family or at church. Not all assumptions are wrong, but we should get our answers from Scripture when considering significant questions.

Forty-seven years of motorcycle rides and life advice and holiday gatherings and phone calls just to check in. Forty-seven years of a man saying, in a thousand small ways, you are mine and I am yours, without ever needing a courtroom to make it real.
