GOD’S BIG STORY

This guy named Paul is a great person to teach us what God’s big story is about.

Now, Paul had baggage. Before he became a Christian and had his whole life altered, he was called Saul, and he hated, hated Christians. He considered them a terrible threat to the Jewish religion and way of life. Then Saul met Jesus in a dramatic way and was radically changed, and he went on to write the majority of what we now call the New Testament.

You know what that tells me, my friend? It tells me that God can do whatever He wants with whomever He wants, whenever He wants.

Do you know someone who seems so far away from God that it appears as if he or she can never come to Him? Don’t stop praying for that person. Ever.

Paul wrote a bunch of letters to different churches that were around in the decades after the death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus. Most of these letters, believe it or not, still exist (well, copies of copies of copies of them). One of these letters was written to the church in the very pagan city of Rome and is now known as the book of Romans.

In the early chapters of Romans, Paul shared a huge, sweeping summary of biblical history. Those words provide an essential key to God’s Word: don’t think of the Bible as this random collection of stories. It’s actually one big story with one main character. Each supporting actor and each smaller episode make much of God and carry the bigger plot forward.

Here’s a bit from early in Romans:
