The Power of the Story

We have to be shaped by the image of the crucified king. Our natural tendency is what? The way of Cain. We hold on to our hurts and pains and we were angry. What do we have in Jesus? One who is flogged by Roman soldiers, hours later he will die for. See, we are sons of Adam, but we can also be sons and daughters of the second Adam. And this story has to shape us.
