The Scriptures burden us with this ultimatum: Jesus is either everything the prophets, apostles and He Himself say He is, or He is nothing at all. As Charles Spurgeon so simply put it, "If Christ be anything, He must be everything." He must be. This is why-and only how-the Gospel has such explosive implications. This is why Golgotha is of cosmic consequence. This is why Paul could hinge the legitimacy of Christian discipleship on the resurrection of the saints upon the Lord's appearance at the end of the age. Either the whole canon of Scripture still matters, or we can burn the books.Yet the apostolic confidence declared so long ago rings true today, unthreatened and unwavering against the tides of cultural confusion and delusion. 'To Trace a Rising Sun' is a meditation on the point and purpose of creation in this age; if men and women bear the Image of the Holy, then the Gospel of the Kingdom matters for our minutes and decisions. But we must understand the whole story, beginning to end. Consider what you're made for, called to, and how the story of your life fits into the wild and beautiful story of eternity. If Christ be anything, He must be everything-and if that's true, He means and changes everything.
