so I have decided to lead you up out of your affliction in Egypt into the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Girgashites, the Hivites and the Jebusites, a land flowing with milk and honey." (Exodus 3: 16 - 17)
The Lord remembers His covenant. Deliverance and salvation come from the Lord.
What does it take today to travel from Egypt to the land flowing with milk and honey? The land flowing with milk and honey is the kingdom of God. It is the Church, where the family of God lives and makes a home. The milk and honey are the word of God and the Sacraments of the Church. This land is the new creation where entrance is gained through Baptism. The milk and honey nourish the life of God inside the citizens of the kingdom. Everyone is welcomed in this kingdom. But people may disqualify themselves through rejection of Jesus.
