Since our adoption into the Kingdom of God, our lives have become an integral part of the Meta-Narrative, the over-arching Love Story that is found from Genesis to Revelation. We are the Beloved, the Church of the Living God, the Bride of Christ. There are multiple micro-narratives that abound, spinning out from innumerable, ceaseless sources, narratives which toll doom and despair, dystopian narratives without glimmer of light or hope, essays trafficking in fear and anxiety. But, Praise God!, we do not look to these for truth. Our hope, our confidence, is in the invincible Kingdom of God, full of Light and Truth in the face of Jesus.

Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established,
that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it.
