We want to make the world and everyone in it revolve around us: our likes and dislikes, our comfort zones, and our felt needs. God demands that we acknowledge what is simply the fact of the case: namely, that he is the one by whom, in whom, for whom, and through whom all things exist.

The Good News is not just a series of facts to which we yield our assent but a dramatic narrative that replots our identity. Think of it in terms of a theatrical play. Each week we come to church with our own scripts. If yours is anything like mine, it’s “the show about nothing.” Yet God descends to give us a new script: a rich plot in which our original character dies and is raised with the lead character. Instead of trying to find a supporting role for God in our play, God writes us into his script as part of a growing cast for his new world.
