Recently, a friend mentioned they hated reading the Bible because, it was... boring. That was a shocker because from the very beginning;
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth;
to the end,
Revelation 22:21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen;
the Bible tells of a thrilling story that is still written today -these days are the epilogue. There is family feuds, wars, deceit, betrayal, and love, components that create a good drama/ or story. But then again, if you are reading the Bible for entertainment, you might miss the point and or, the big picture.
Fascinating stories include
David runs from his father in law
Two men never die....they are taken to heaven.
A jar of oil overflows from an empty jar
Multiple people are raised from the dead
A lady is turned into a pillar of salt
God
becomes Man.
Several hundred thousand slaves walk out of where they are held captive .... With the nations treasures.
They are led through the desert in a cloud by day and a flame by night.
At the climax, all of humanity is reconciled through one Man for God. Though not all of mankind will be saved.
Everyone loves a story about redemption and second chances. How much better is it when it is your reality!
