The God of the Particular

January 26, 2020

Rev. Jake Allstaedt

We may feel somewhat removed from our Gospel text this morning (Matthew 4:12-25) and from the calling of the first disciples. We did not leave everything to follow Jesus. But what's important is not that we can identify with the Disciples. What's important is that Jesus identifies with us. He is both the God of the universe and the God of the particular. God's great big plan of salvation in Jesus comes to us in personal and powerful ways.
