The Importance of Story

I am preaching and leading in the Lord's Supper service this Sunday in 2 of our morning services. In preparation I was doing some reading and studying and came across this quote that stuck out in my mind. For Christian faith, what happens in history is important; we believe that God acts in history to provide revelation and salvation. History is not important in all religions. What is important about the Buddha is his teachings, not his story. With Christ it is different. His story, the events of his life, are important to Christians. In fact, they are indispensable for Christian faith. (Fisher Humphreys in Proclaiming the Baptist Vision: Baptism and the Lord's Supper)
