When she told me that, I started to think what my response to such a question would be. I suppose I don't often meditate on that. I spend more time on less important things. So tonight on my way home (during a 45 minute drive) I started to try to tell the gospel to myself.
First, I said, "Jesus died for us." But that implies prior knowledge of Jesus. So then I said, "Once there was a man." And then I thought, well, that doesn't really mean anything if you don't know why. Next was "Once there was a nation." Nope, it's bigger than that. "Once there was a world - no, a creation." And then I laughed.
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth..." Yeah, that's a good place to start. Man, God has an awesome story to tell us.
