This message emphasizes the importance of seeing beyond the outward appearances and recognizing the divine image within each person. We go back to the forest, and see the illustration of how we can often miss seeing people for the cultural forest. Jesus encourages us to move past superficial judgments to uncover the inherent value and dignity present in every individual and call people to flourish in life by reflecting their creator. 

There is a tension in how to respond to people in a changing culture. In the same way the Father sent Jesus, so he is sending us into a dark and broken world to be a light to bring proclaim the good news of salvation through Jesus! Some people separate and abandon the generation, some confront to attack, while others give way and just accept the new way. Jesus came demonstrating a better way. He came full of grace and truth!

Our faith in God compels us to look forward with hope to the next generation. We live in an incredible moment at the beginning of a generational change that opens the wonderful opportunity to share the good news of Jesus. The church needs people like the men of Issachar who had understanding of the times and knew what they ought to do.
