Wrights chapter was basically the "so now what" chapter of his book. How do we as Jesus followers take all this information about the historical Jesus and apply it to our every day lives? Wright takes on the issue by examining the story of the two people on the road to Emmaus. He does throw a little bit of the historicity of it in, but really focuses on what do we now do today with all the post modernism that's the new wave of thinking about things.
I like how he concludes the chapter by rewriting the story for today but in Dover England. And then, instead o Christ that comes and shares the grand story of it all, it is us, his followers. That's one thing that I love doing, sharing the meta-narrative of what God has been doing in human history. How it all ties together is so beautiful, and I cannot wait to go out and share that with the world around me. It is not just a story, it is, THE story, but more importantly it is OUR story.
We have such exciting news to share and not everyone knows this news. What should I do now that I know that the master has risen? He has revealed himself to me, and I am obliged to share his story. I think it would be super cool to be on a long walk with Jesus and have him explain the whole history of the world to me. THAT would be tale to remember!!
