“Maybe the truth of the Adam and Eve story, maybe the the greatest power of the story, is not so much that it happened, but that it happens.” Jesus teaches us how to live in the reality of God NOW, here and today….Where is God? Where isn’t God? His fingerprints are all over our world…or maybe it’s his world and our fingerprints?
...Do we treat this world like a waiting room for the next life? Do we treat faith as a ticket to something beyond? Are we just hanging out and waiting? What good is a faith that doesn’t have anything to do with the world we live in now?
...Followers of Christ—people of peace, of justice, of mercy, of grace, people committed to partnering with God to make this world, the world that we al live in, the kind of place that God originally intended it to be.
....Jewish saying:
A person’s good deeds are used by God as seeds to plant the very trees of Eden.
(Rob Bell, Nooma #3)
