“In the beginning…” can be a loaded phrase – one that forces us into debate and doubt. But maybe we’re missing the point of Genesis 1:1- a point Moses made to a world where the violence and injustice of the gods justified and legitimized the violence and injustice of human rulers. Many civilizations had creation stories that supported the idea that the human race was an afterthought. Consequently, throughout history, individuals had no rights, hope, intrinsic value… until Moses introduced a radically different, unparalleled, and untested worldview.
Our faith grows, not just by accumulating more knowledge or believing, but by following Jesus one next step at a time.
Jesus' resurrection changed everything for His first century followers. What should the resurrection change for you?
In the simple comes Immanuel.
