"So, is it really good?" (Genesis 1-3)
/When people encountered Jesus, they noticed His kindness, the gracious words that came out of his mouth, His compassion for people. Jesus was someone you wanted to learn from and to hang out with. There was something about Him that drew you in. He wasn’t like other people. Jesus somehow consistently lived a beautiful life?
Are you living a beautiful life? How do we even define a beautiful life in 2024, given the numerous options and definitions swirling around us? Regardless of the definition you choose, why does it end up producing selfish people, who don’t act like Jesus, even those who believe in him? How did it all go so wrong? To answer these questions we need to go back to beginning, to the garden of Eden and allow God to unpack this dilemma for us.
