Series: Snapshots of Jesus: Taken by Luke

Christian ethics involve more than just outward obedience to rules; it's about embodying God's love and holiness in every aspect of life. Because true miracles in Christianity may not always be dramatic signs and wonders, but often are the profound transformations of heart that lead to genuine love for God and others.

What does it mean to remember that God is with us in the midst of the unknown? He is with us…and that should mean something and could change everything.
