The Everlasting Story

The language of our heart is story. God created us with a desire to be captivated with story, and His story, from beginning to end, inspires us more than any other story.  This is a major reason why biblical individuals retold God’s everlasting story over and over again. At Pentecost (Acts 2), Peter stood to his feet and addressed the crowd by retelling the story of Jesus; and on that day, three thousand were added to the church.  In Acts 7, Stephen told God's story to the Sanhedrin, and though he was put to death, his retelling of the story has inspired so many over the years. When an Ethiopian questioned what Isaiah 53 meant, Philip explained the story of Jesus to him in Acts 8:35.  Peter again passed on the story at Cornelius' house in Acts 10, and his whole household believed.  Paul revealed the story at Pisidian Antioch (Acts 13), Athens (Acts 17), and Jerusalem (Acts 22), provoking both positive and negative emotions.  God’s everlasting story captivates the heart.  Thus, it never gets old!

I encourage you to never let the story become stale. God's story of glory is where we retain and cultivate a life of awe!  If you have 12 minutes, listen to my rendition of God's story retold in a fresh way. I pray that it reminds you why you wake up each day. We live for this!
