Beginnings
Sep 5th, 2007 by Elsi
Robert Heinlein’s birthplace yesterday … Robert Dole’s home in Russell, Kansas, today … what’s with the interest in where people were born and grew up?And yet, we focus so on Christmas … and we ask people, “Where are you from?” and “How did you become a Christian?”God’s book starts with beginnings, too: “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth” and “In the beginning was the Word.”Of course, He goes on to the ending: a new Heaven and a new Earth, new bodies, and life eternal with Him!That’s where I need to be focused—Easter more than Christmas; what am I doing for the Lord more than how did He reach me, where am I going rather than where have I been!
