This week we get a picture painted in four different shades of divine deliverance.

Luke 13:10-17 A loosing that confronts us with our desire to guard sacred space and time. And a story that reminds us that praise must always be grounded in experience.

Jeremiah 1:4-10 Jeremiah is set aside from the time he was born. Maybe we aren’t! As prophet of God Jeremiah is the embodiment of God on earth.

Psalm 71:1-6 What it means for God to be righteous: God as faithful deliverer of God’s people. This is why God is praised.

Hebrews 12:18-29 Heaven and earth come together in our worship. This assures of us our great deliverance, but it also stands as a warning.
