This week we tried to look at the idea of the Bible as a narrative revealing God's unfolding plan in history. It is important to recognize that we all interpret our experiences and live our lives in terms of some kind of metanarrative or "Grand Story." Do we buy into the arguments of modern secular science that would say, essentially, that we are the end result of chance, random, processes? Too many Christians live as though that kind of worldview controls their thinking. They look to the Bible for inspiration or moral lessons or encouragement, but they miss the big picture. We need to step back and understand the unity of the biblical narrative and its revelation of the unfolding of God's plan in history. If we do that we will begin to see our lives differently as well. Our story is a part of His story. Feel free to post your comments, questions, or observations below (click on "comments"). Have a great weekend!
