Stairway to Heaven (Genesis 28) [Jay Thomas]

I like planning. I like the predictable. Calendars are my friend. Even people who are "free spirits" and "go-with-the-flow" types want scheduled unscheduled moments. We might call this chronos time - the planned life. However, while most of life will be lived within chronos time, the most transformative moments in our life happen in crisis time - where an unpredictable, highly intrusive God breaks into our calendar and upends everything. These are typically hard moments - and complex moments - and often leave us speechless (read: not appealing to smart and gifted people) and yet those moments are the moments that prepare us for blessing and reveal the presence of God. Genesis 28 is a story of chronos time being interrupted with crisis - a crisis of grace. This interplay between chronos and crisis is the gospel rhythm, by the way.
