Knowing where you came from brings into focus who you really are and how you got that way. Our culture
is interested in this, maybe more than ever. When we meet people, we impulsively ask them where they’re from. We love movies that revolve around the
origin story of a character. We map our family trees. We ship our spit off to companies to tell us the ancestry of our genetic code. When you open the Bible,
the beginning of Scripture is about how we began. It’s our origin story. But maybe not in the way you might think. What does this ancient piece of poetry that
opens the story of us and God tell us about the bigger picture of who we are and what we’re made for?
