By God’s Spirit we are able to cry out “Abba, Father.” God’s Spirit redirects us to see God as who He is, a loving Father who has brought us into His family; one people, one family. It is meant to shape us differently than our earthly families have shaped us. Being in God’s family should shape us to be like Him. Being like Christ will change how we interact with our biological family and church family. The beautiful result of the Gospel is that God makes us one family. Jesus came to die for us and rise from the grave to make it a reality.
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.
