In our current cultural moment, there is growing disruption and uncertainty. For many people, it seems like the world they live in is out of control. How do God’s people reconcile his sovereignty with our experience of an unstable world? What do we do when God seems silent?   

The story of Ruth is a light in a dark, difficult time. God’s hand is working behind-the-scenes, in seemingly ordinary life, for the benefit of his people and the glory of his name. Ruth offers guidance on how to walk with Jesus when it seems like God is silent, or far away, and reminds us that he is always working—even when we don’t see it yet—for the good of those he loves, in his own way and time.

In Luke 9:51, we read that Jesus “set his face to go to Jerusalem” (ESV).  Jesus knows what lies ahead for him. He is not simply setting his face to a city; He is resolutely determining to proceed towards his death. As we journey through Lent, each passage we’ll look at includes further movement of Jesus towards Jerusalem, and His death. His face is continually set, and yet He continues to minister to broken and hurting people along the road to the cross.  How is He inviting us to partner with him in this ministry of a suffering Saviour towards suffering people?
