Why are we so attracted to story? Could it be because we are made in the image of a story-creating God, born into the already-in-motion story of the One who has always been, yet chose to make himself known to you and me? The story is undoubtedly his story, yet, miraculously, he weaves us into its pages as those prized and pursued by him.

But Jesus’ role in the story is not confined to the accounts of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Jesus is as visible on the first page as the last. He is as present in the Garden of Eden as he is in the garden tomb. The entire story points to him. Jesus himself affirms this when he said, “You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me” (Jn 5:39).
