Everybody lives according to some kind of
story.
That is... they see themselves as part of some unfolding narrative... usually with themselves as the main characters.
But the best story to live by has Jesus at its center.
In that story...
... Jesus comes to establish His kingdom.
... But the powers that be conspire to kill Him, because they view Him as a threat to their agendas.
... Jesus comes back from the dead, proving He is Lord over all.
... And He commissions His followers to extend His kingdom in the power of His Spirit.
... People and nations continue to resist Jesus and
His rule, but His kingdom keeps advancing... little by little.
... Finally, the day comes that every knee bows and every tongue confesses that Jesus Christ is Lord.
There is no better story than this one.
It's the story that shapes reality.
And it's the story God calls you to be
a part of as you use your gifts for Him.
This is the story to build your life around.
