Although it was a severely painful situation. In the wake of my good friend’s tragic loss/murder of her son and father, at the high school vigil, I heard the best sermon ever- and it was only 2 minutes long.
The Fellowship of Christian Athletes leader spoke out of Isiah. While he did share about the parting of the waters at the Red Sea, there was another instance in the scripture that was equally as important. God asked that if He were to part the waters that He needed them to take the first step.
In his short portrayal of the story, this young and amazing man, asked the audience to lock arms with this family and step into healing together as a community. All I can say is, “WOW!”
We need each other on this journey and it is easier to take the first step if you have a community to join you in both pleasure and pain.
