A True Fairy Tale...

Now, some people think the Bible is a book of rules, telling you what you should and shouldn't do.  The Bible certainly does have some rules in it.  They show you how life works best.  But the Bible isn't mainly about you and what you should be doing.  It's about God and what he has done.  Other people think the Bible is a book of heroes, showing you people you should copy.  The Bible does have some heroes in it, but...most of the people in the Bible aren't heroes at all.  They make some big mistakes (sometimes on purpose), they get afraid and run away.  At times they are downright mean.  No, the Bible isn't a book of rules, or a book of heroes.  The Bible is most of all a Story.  It's an adventure story about a young Hero who comes from a far country to win back his lost treasure.  It's a love story about a brave Prince who leaves his palace, his throne-everything-to rescue to the ones he loves.  It's like the most wonderful of fairy tales that has come true in real life.
