Genealogy of Grace: Bathsheba

Bathsheba is a character in the Bible who experienced deep suffering and pain. She didn’t cause her suffering, and she wasn’t being punished for her sins. And yet, she was at the end of her rope. But in the midst of her pain, God comforted her and redeemed her. Through the grace she was given, God also gave to us a genealogy of grace that brought Jesus into the world. When you are suffering, how do you respond? Is your response good or bad for you? Is it good or bad for those around you? Lean on Christ and on the church for healing and redemption, especially in your darkest of hours.
