This Spring, we are tracing the movements of the Biblical Story, seeking to be formed by God and His Word. From the creative glories of Genesis 1-2 to the final restoration of all things in Revelation 21-22, the Bible tells the story of the faithfulness of God as he works to rescue a world in rebellion to his sovereign love. At each stage of the Story, he is fashioning a people for himself, a people who can receive his love, carry his presence, and be his means of restoring the world to its former glory. All of this culminates in Jesus, of course, who is the True Hero of the Story and invites sinners and sufferers to join his world-restoring mission until he returns to make all things new. This week, we come to the PROPHETS, learning that God is zealously committed to his mission to restore the world, and while he's eager to forgive sin, he will not forever endure the spurring of his glory and the destruction of his world. God's love is fierce and while that means judgment for sin, it also means God's redemptive purposes will always win!
