We all try to hide our failures because we want to be loved, but that hiding is what keeps us from experiencing true love. We hide because we think if someone truly knew us there is no way they would love/like us. But we can never truly love one another without being fully known.
Believe it or not, there is a Christian culture inside the church in America. We are the product of what is known as Western civilization. Western thinkers, which is what we are, have a tendency to see things in a linear fashion (A, B, C…), but many times Hebrew (or non-western) writers would put pen to paper in a totally different flow. In The Greatest Story Ever RE-told we are going to look at a some bible passages and stories that we have RE-narrated to fit our cultural context and hopefully help us to see the original story that was told.
