A Drama in Three Acts, Parts 2&3

Michael continues to explore A Drama in Three Acts, this time looking at Exile and Emmanuel. Some of the readings:Deuteronomy 8.11-18: “But that is the time to be careful! Beware that in your plenty you do not forget the Lord your God and disobey his commands, regulations, and laws. 12For when you have become full and prosperous and have built fine homes to live in, 13and when your flocks and herds have become very large and your silver and gold have multiplied along with everything else, 14that is the time to be careful. Do not become proud at that time and forget the Lord your God, who rescued you from slavery in the land of Egypt. 15Do not forget that he led you through the great and terrifying wilderness with poisonous snakes and scorpions, where it was so hot and dry.

He did this to humble you and test you for your own good. 17He did it so you would never think that it was your own strength
