We Embody Scripture's Story

NT Wright wrote, “We read scripture in order to be refreshed in our memory and understanding of the story within which we ourselves are actors, to be reminded where it has come from and where it is going to, and hence what our own part within it ought to be.” Relegating scripture to just a manual or rule book diminishes the power and beauty of scripture, and obstructs us from seeing the fuller story of God and the role we play in His story.
