The Good News

Nic Acosta contrasts the temptation of creating god in our own image with the God revealed in Christ and proclaimed in scriptures. We are challenged to live into God’s Story rather than trying to live life the other way around. [Acts 17:22-32] Reflection Questions: When in our lives have we felt the warmth and love of God, whether or not we recognized it at the time? How might someone in my life circumstances be tempted to imagine God in self-serving ways? What are some difficult truths of the Gospel that might push against that image? What might I need to let go of in order to be able to fully accept Jesus's invitation to join in God's story of redemption?
