"Normally when we read stories like Homers the Odyssey , we suspend our disbelief and enter its world for a time. We emerge on the other side, exit the story and its world, and resume our daily lives. Hopefully we have learned something or been entertained or enriched in some way by the story, receiving something we can take into our ‘real’ world. It is not that way with the biblical story; we are to remain in its world, find the meaning of our lives there, and fit our lives into its structure of universal history; it claims to be the real world." Michael Goheen
What story are you living; the one that escapes reality or the one God has given to you?
