 Invest In Hope: Everyone spoke well of Jesus and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his mouth. Luke 4:22
Soon after these words of praise, the people of Nazareth changed their minds and tried to kill Jesus. During his ministry Jesus was frequently praised and condemned, and through it all, he strove to remain faithful to God’s call. His fortitude and persistence are examples for us to follow. Congratulations and thanks to incoming Bishop's Committee members and convention delegates!:

 The Marriage at Cana by Gerard David is in the Public domain, Invest In Hope: When the wine gave out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what concern is that to you and to me? My hour has not yet come.” John 2:3-4
The words of Jesus resonate with us: we don’t always know when it’s our time to act, when it’s our time to step up to the plate. As happened in Jesus’ life, let’s be open to hearing that our hour has come, that now is the time to act in grace and encouragement.
