You are part of God's Story

 Last night I began thinking about the fact that the people in the Bible were just ordinary people who God used to do extraordinary things. The 12 disciples that Jesus mentored were fisherman probably very young and may have even included some teenagers. They were not educated or anything special but Jesus chose them to change the world.

Even though the Bible is complete and what we do now will not be written in it, God's story is still not complete. Creation has happened, The Fall has happened, Rescue has happened for some of us, but Restoration has not. We have the amazing privilege to help usher in the Last Days when Christ will return! As the Story Guide says, "We are participants in the redemptive story God is proclaiming to the world."

How exciting is it that God has chosen to use us to reach the unreached? There are 2 billion people on this earth that have never had a chance to hear the name of Jesus. How awesome is it that you could be a part of telling them? If you can't go to them, how awesome is it that you could share the gospel with someone who could end up going to reach them?

The question to think about is this, are you living from the story you are writing for yourself, or are you living your life based on the story of God's redemption that is found only in Jesus Christ and the story that He has been writing throughout history?
