Genesis 1

Book: Genesis

Oct 11

“In the beginning, God . . . “ and off the reader goes . . . moving into another world . . . the world of story. Once having begun the journey he will careen through history, not stopping until he ends up at the final resolution. But the Bible is not just any story. It is the greatest story ever told; full of winding trails, rough seas, varied and unique persons; old as well as young, living, dying, mourning and laughing. It is ultimately a happy story, yet all too frequently, tragic. It is the story of many men and women, but really just one Man. It is, more importantly, the story of God; the great, unseen Being, who cannot be perceived by human eyes, ears or senses, the God of the great unknown.

In this setting, the foundation is established from which the story will emerge. It will “set-up” the unfolding of the plot. Here, one will be introduced, the Protagonist Hero, God. His character desires will also be revealed; that of a beautiful world with a man and woman representing Him.
