Creation story in Genesis 1 tells ups about what?
World – chaos disorder
God – creates by his word, spirit, desires all things to be together
Human beings – created to be together with God and one another
Sin – the end of God’s togetherness, not just against God, but other people
God’s dream is for the togetherness of his creation
Story of old testament in God’s pursuit of this dream
God makes himself vulnerable to the world to pursue this dream
Chooses to pursue this dream through a people
Jesus represents most fully God’s embodiment of this dream
Jesus represents to us how we can participate in God’s dream (death and resurrection)
