Our Christian Identity
It is important how we identify ourselves, as Christians or otherwise. It starts in the family, in our own lives just as it did for the Israelites in the Old Testament, and for Christians in the New Testament. “Who is this family with whom we have now joined in fellowship together?" As I (Dick Mickley) looked at the beginning of the Israelites, I really didn’t expect the awesome, wonderful, powerful, fear-producing, disruptive, cataclysmic coming of God into the midst of his commitment to this people. In the beginning the earth, and all that it is, was formed because God spoke and life became, and then God spoke and a nation became. It was so powerful that even the earth trembled in the presence of God. Israel’s existence originates outside Israel’s historical horizon, beyond the reach of Moses or of any king. It is mandated from the awesome region of heaven.
