Читать книгу Live Lent: God's Story Our Story - Stephen Hance - Страница 2

by the Archbishops of Canterbury and York

Stories take us out of ourselves.

It’s not that stories give us an escape. In fact, the best stories are ones we find ourselves in, as they tell of relating and loving, suffering and hoping, facing dangers and difficulties, holding out for change.

As Christians we have been given the most wonderful story of all. A story which on the one hand is like our own - it’s about people like us. But, on the other hand, it tells us about a God we can hardly grasp.

The invitation of this year’s #LiveLent to all of us is to participate in God’s story. To make it so much part of our own stories that our own lives become impossible to understand without it.

And then to be tellers of this story, and the change it has brought to us, to those who fear all they will ever have is their own drama.
