Take Two: Glimmers of the Gospel
God has set eternity in the hearts of mankind (Ecclesiastes 3). The stories we create (without realizing it a lot of the time) reflect a shadow of the bigger, original redemption story God is writing for this earth and the people in it.
So, it should come as no surprise when books, film, music, and other pieces of art in our culture draw us in deeper, make us think a little bit more about eternity, or ask questions about God and His relationship with the world.
Here are some of the places I have seen Jesus within the world’s stories.
