There Will Come Here
How many of us have grown up believing that our greatest hope is to one day leave this world to be joined with God in heaven forever?
This is (or has been) the standard summary of the Christian narrative for a lot of us, but it actually gets the Bible’s overarching story almost completely backward.
He Just… Is
You and I began one day.
The same can be said for everyone we’ve ever known, and everyone they’ve ever known. It’s no different when we look outside humanity: animals, plants, and the universe all had a starting point.
Everything had a beginning.
Almost everything.
