Sent
Acts 7:12
“When Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent our fathers on their first visit.”

Joseph in Egypt had been stockpiling food so that when the famine hit, the nation would be okay. God had promoted Joseph through the ranks of Egypt’s government even though he had begun in a well his brothers had thrown him down.
Not Jacob was sending Joseph’s brothers to Egypt in search of food.

May this Easter weekend see our churches full of hungry people who are searching for God. Jesus satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things. May they hear that the Church has something that they need. May they hear and come.

As Jacob sent his sons so God the Father sent His Son into the world. He is the sent One. All that He is consumed with is being sent. As He lives in us we connect with this sent experience. We hold to a belief that we have a purpose. There is a reason for our existence. It is to go. Even into places of a wilderness, like Egypt.
And as we go we find He is already there. He is waiting for us on mission.
