I’ve drawn that the closest I can get to what ties the whole thing together is what a German theologian by the name of Walther Eichrodt called “the irruption of the kingdom of God.” Now, he’s spelling that I-R-R-U-P-T-I-O-N (irruption), not E-R-U-P-T-I-O-N (eruption). Eruption is to break out from within, like a volcano erupts or a boil on our skin; irruption is the breaking in. And the Bible is the story of God breaking in into this dark, messed-up world with a glorious kingdom of light and life
