We meet God before there were boundaries…
& the Spirit of
God hovered
over the deep
When the people suffered under unjust conditions, God crossed the
borders …
• What borders do we cross as God’s
children?
• What boundaries come down as we follow
God?
One family’s story
13 When the magi had departed, an angel
from the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream
and said,
“Get up. Take the child and his mother and
escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for
Herod will soon search for the child in order to
kill him.”14 Joseph got up and, during the night, took
the child and his mother to Egypt. 15 He
stayed there until Herod died. This fulfilled

16 When Herod knew the magi
had fooled him, he grew very
angry. He sent soldiers to kill all
the children in Bethlehem and in
all the surrounding territory who

angel said, ‘and take the child and
his mother and go to the land of
Israel. Those who were trying to kill
the child are dead.’ 21 Joseph got up, took the child and
his mother, and went to the land of
Israel.”

• Let the same mind be in you all that was in
Christ Jesus:
• Who, though he was in the form of God,
• did not regard equality with God as something
to be exploited,
• but emptied himself,
• taking the form of a slave,
• being born in human likeness,
• and being found in human form he humbled
himself
