Welcome Back!

I believe we are starting at the beginning today and figuring out what all this ABC stuff is about.

So – the beginning….I grew up in church as the saying goes. I went twice on Sunday and most every Wednesday. I knew all the “stories” and all the Sunday School answers. Nevertheless, I was grown before I put together that Moses had to go get the Hebrews out of Egypt because Joseph brought them to Egypt in the first place.

I know, I know. You’re probably thinking, “No way! How did she miss that? That’s the whole point of the Bible.” Well, I did. I flat out missed the fact that the Bible is one, cohesive account from the beginning of time to the very last day of eternity. Don’t get me wrong. I knew it all talked about God and His people. I just never realized how each account connected to and continued the previous account. (Notice the word “account” instead of “story”. Sounds more factual.)

It was even later when I realized every account points to Jesus. In fact, I am still learning how each and every chapter of the Bible reveals more and more about Him. It’s amazing! He’s there from Genesis chapter 1 to Revelation chapter 22. (Yes, that’s another blog post as well!)

As I pondered this new-found connection one day, it dawned on me the main characters or objects in each of the first couple chapters of Gensis all started with A, B, C – Adam, Boat, & Covenant. That got me to wondering if I could use the whole alphabet to share the Bible.

Turns out, the ABC’s first perfectly from Adam to Zion, Genesis to Revelation! I still have the folder around here somewhere where I first wrote down all the ABC’s. I know that doesn’t surprise anyone who knows me because I keep everything. But the questions is, why does it matter that the Bible goes from Adam to Zion?

That’s an answer for tomorrow!
