Now—what is your part? What is your role in the Story? In truth, the only one who can tell you that is the Author….Jesus The Story God is telling—like every great story that echoes it— reminds us of three eternal truths..… First, things are not what they seem. There is far more going on around us than meets the eye. We live in (two) world(s) ….one…that we can see and another part that we cannot. We must live as though the unseen world (the rest of reality) is more weighty and more real and more dangerous than the part of reality we can see. Second, we are at war. This is a love Story, set in the midst of a life-and-death battle. Look at all the casualties strewn across the field. The lost souls, the broken hearts, the captives. Third, you have a crucial role to play. That is the third eternal truth spoken by every great story, and it happens to be the one we most desperately need if we are ever to understand our days. It is a dangerous thing to underestimate your role in the Story. You will lose heart, and you will miss your cues. This is our most desperate hour. You are needed.
