Deuteronomy 12-15
Both of my sons are artists and both have chosen to work in the areas of
redemption. One works with it as a
concept and one works with redeemed, recycled materials. That is what these chapters, the whole
Bible and God are all about. “…and
the Lord your God redeemed you.” 15:15.
My wife and I watched “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” last night. It’s about a man who has an
encounter with extraterrestrials, which forever changes his life. It’s a good, simple metaphor for the
God story, the story of redemption.
It is why most of our great books, movies, histories and legends all
revolve around that theme. It’s
the original theme. God made a
perfect world and perfect humans.
God loved us and made us free.
We got ourselves in trouble.
Because God loves us, He offers us redemption out of our trouble. “For God so loved the world…” John 3:16. I love the Bible.
It’s the story of the original close encounter of the First Kind.
