Thanksgiving -Thank You For Your Order....god The Father Asked Jesus A Hard Thing.

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Nov 16, 2021

One of the ways that Israel stimulated a sense of gratitude and fidelity was remembering the exodus from captivity to liberation: “remember that you were once slaves...remember that it was God who liberated you and brought you to a land of promise."
