For youth group, we just ordered a bunch of new bibles, so that students with out can have one, and so there are some to use on Sunday nights. Both the front and back of these Bibles have a small message on them…
Check out the front:
“a BIG book that’s really a bunch of little books telling the story of the creator, creation, [UN]creation and NEW-creation, AKA the BIBLE”
pretty cool right? but turn it over, and here is what its all about:
“The Bible is the true story of God and his plan to se the world right again. It began many years ago in a garden where there was life and peace. No bitterness or pain or lying or loss. Just a beautiful relationship between the Creator God and his creation.
The story is headed toward another garden, this time in a city. The new garden will be even better than the original. Gardens, cities, people relationships – everything in creation – healed.
This collection of books tells the story between those gardens. Humans rejected the Creator, bringing death and wrongdoing into the world. But the creator didn’t give up. He was committed to the story, and he was committed to redemption.
So the Creator did something unexpected…”
How AWESOME is that?
LOVE.
