Is My Life a Story?

By: Curtis Baker Pastor Curtis Baker

A popular way of assessing the scheme of our own existence is to view our life as if it is a kind of story.  If life is a story, then, of course, there must be a plot.  And if there is a plot then there must be an author who has put the plot together.  If all this is true, then our job is to simply live out the plot that has been predetermined for us.

There are many benefits to viewing our life in this way.  For one, it gives us a nice sense of beginning and end to our life.  It gives us a feeling of comfort that our life is not ultimately our responsibility because we are merely following the plot determined for us.  And maybe best of all, it allows us to think that maybe the best is yet to come because every story has a grand climax that we all anticipate.
