WHEN WE KNOW WHO WINS By Noel Serrano from the Gala Foundation 2020

Have you ever had someone tell you how a story or movie was going to turn out before you had a chance to read or see it yourself? Some people call that a spoiler. A poorly timed spoiler can take the fun out of watching a good movie or TV show. However, in the middle of a scary story it can be comforting to know that things will turn out well in the end. Then, even if part of the story is distressing, you know that things will be resolved later. The same is true in God’s big story for us and his world. It begins in a perfect world, but we’re in the middle now, and a fierce battle is raging around us. When the forces of evil bring suffering or fear into our lives, it can be reassuring to know how our story will end.
