Wednesday's Words of Wisdom

"From heaven to earth, rather than from earth to heaven, is the flow of movement and energy, the direction of travel that we see in Scripture.  The biblical hope is not one of man going to God.  It is not the story of the ascent of man.  Rather, it is the story of God coming to man, in man’s createdness, redeeming both man and the creation.  In short, the biblical hope is the descent of God."
