Matthew 14:22-36

Jesus’ baptism marked the beginning of His ministry. And in the baptism of Jesus, God also identified Him as the one that will fulfill all righteousness for sinners, taking on the sins of all so that all might be saved.

On this “Half-Birthday” of Jesus, we celebrate that God has come among us. Were it not for His mercy, this would be terrifying. But Jesus appears on the scene in the least scary way possible – as a baby born to a fearful couple in Bethlehem.

God has a plan! To prepare the way for Jesus to save the world from sin, God’s plan played out over generations. The Book of Matthew notes some remarkable ways that God carried out His plan.

God has blessed us to be a part of His church family at Cornerstone. He is always faithful! Let us consider the grace of God given to us and move Forward Together so that grace might show through us.
