When I was professor at a theological seminary in the mid-eighties, one of my students was a young man named Mark Gornik.

When I asked him why, he said simply, “To do justice.”It had been decades since any white people had moved into Sandtown. For the first couple of years there, it was touch and go.

Introduction I want us to look at the account of the crossing of the Red Sea. You might call it the climax or epitome of Exodus.

Introduction If you're a Christian, you know that Christianity is supposed to be about joy. You probably also know that you're supposed to experience joy in spite of circumstances. The Bible clearly teaches that joy is available that should make us happy no matter the circumstances. There's a joy that the deepest trouble can't put out, and if properly nourished and nurtured, can even overwhelm the greatest grief. When Jesus prays to the Father in John 17, he prays for us—his followers.

Editor's note: Tim Keller's ministry not only reached the ends of the earth; it also touched the city he loved in its most critical time of need. Just five days after the World Trade Center 9/11 terrorist attack, Keller's sermon from John 11:1-44 fell on the ears and into the hearts of heartbroken New Yorkers. This is an adaptation from his September 16, 2001, sermon titled "Truth, Tears, Anger, and Grace."The governor and mayor, whether they know it or not, are using the gospel story line.
