This week, our last week of class, I want to tell you one final story. Actually, it's all the same story as what we've been reading every week. It's a story that is God's story. And, it's a story that we get to be a part of too.
Do you remember, way back in the beginning, when we talked about Eve and Adam? We read about how God put His breath in them and made them in His image, made them to be a picture of God.
We read about Abraham and Sarah and how God promised to use them to bless the whole world. We read about how God wants the whole world to know about how big and how good God is. And, eventually, we got to Jesus.
We read about the way that Jesus took care of people on earth, and we even read a little bit about why Jesus lets bad things happen. We read about how Jesus gave His followers a big job to do, the same job that God gave to Sarah and Abraham and Adam and Eve. And, we read about how Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to help finish that job.
There were lots of stories about people who trusted the Holy Spirit to help them to be brave and patient and kind, stories about people who lived a long time ago and stories about people like the Granberrys who are still alive today, working to tell people about how big and how good God is.
There were even weeks where we read stories about big words, like “incarnational” and “ecclesia.” Over the last fifteen weeks, we have read a lot of stories!...
