We all like good stories . That is not saying we are all deep readers , or movie goers but humans like a story . It could be funny , serious , fantastical but within our being we all like a good yarn . Why this is simple , I think. Stories give us a content to live out our lives . We may not think that they do , but stories have been used to teach morals , ethics and truth for thousand of years . We read , sing to our children . Stories resonant with us .
That is because we know deep down that we have been made for more than just living and dying . Everyone at some level wants to have a purpose or meaning to their lives. Stories allow us to enter into a bigger picture .
Ultimately , the true story is we were made to worship and enjoy God . To praise and sing his praises . But in the fall of humanity , we were plunged into darkness . The good news is the story that does truly liberate us is happening right now as God brings dead sinners to life and we become part of a grand narrative . This story is good news , to all people . The good news of Jesus Christ is the story the whole world needs to hear .
Stories have always been given to be shared , and the best ones last a long time but there is one that will last forever and that is God's story and it is the grand story of them all .
