Genesis 1-2

It took me about 10 minutes to read this passage. Moses used one word to introduce God's revelation about the creation. It translates to the phrase "In the beginning". However, we know that the creation wasn't the beginning of God, or even the start of his plan of creation or redemption. God foreknew all of these this before he first commanded the newly formed physical world to radiate his light. But these events do relay the beginning of the story of man. As the key actor in this drama God sets up a beautiful stage upon which the story will unfold. Then he introduces the main character. Act 1, scene 1. This is a love story, with many subplots and who-dunit type questions. But it is always about the Gospel; God's redemption of fallen man.
