Here’s some of what I could have said more of the other day.

I realized after lunch while talking with Brandon and Dustin a little that I could have said more about the story of Scripture being a story of liberation.

It’s a story about a God, committed to people through their abuse, neglect and ridiculous infidelity.
Our refusal to be led and insistence to lead ourselves has bound us to our own limited understanding and, for generations hopeless death.

This is why Jesus’ death and resurrection is such a big deal. It finishes our selfish walk toward death. Not just the end of this body, but separation from God. The key is that Jesus moves through that separation and maintains life. This is huge. It’s the key to liberation from the march of death in my body, mind and heart.

This is the story of scripture: liberate me from death and into life…I always wanna know more.
