God's Story and My Life

Imagine this – a multimillion dollar Hollywood movie production. Famous actors are hired such as Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, and of course the main star – you. You walk over to the set and the director yells action. All the other actors begin their work. Some are good actors, others are bad actors. But you have no clue what to do. You haven’t even read the script, so how are you to do your job? The director thinks you’re crazy, but gives you another chance.

This silly story is very similar to our life with Christ. We are the clueless actor on the stage. The world is looking at us and our director, God, is waiting for us to do our part. We have to know what to do. This is where God’s story comes in. In our lives, we need to know how the story works. Otherwise we can’t do our job.
