God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is
Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. Acts 17:24
Famed author Kurt Vonnegut is one of the most curious
writers of the 20th century.
He makes elaborate and strange fictions…but then some think he will
often write himself into those fictions through a recurring character named Kilgore
Trout. In order to create these fictions
he must exist outside of them…were he limited by them the author could not plan
them and shape the story and the characters to an effective and meaningful
end. Yet, while everything is ultimately
his design, there may be a time to come into the story and interact with the
characters he made.
In a similar manner, we see that God created the heavens and
the earth, yet he is in no ways contained by these limitations. While we can encounter God anywhere, we find
that He is not confined to be in one place at a time, because the entire cosmos
is His creative work. Still, the best
chapters of this story are when God writes His Son Jesus Christ in as the main
character…to bring the story to a most meaningful and glorious conclusion.
