Eucatastrophe

"At the core of every great adventure story, there has to be a sense of catastrophe and eucatastrophe, and the eucatastrophe has to be stronger than the catastrophe. Christ is the eucatastrophe of all time. There's something catastrophic about Him, He's scandalous, He breaks every expectation, He does everything not the way we expect. He is the eucatastrophe of all time. But where as in our stories, our eucatastrophe are imaginative, He is true." -Tolkien

(This is the conversation that turned C.S. Lewis over to Christ)

"...but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more."
(Romans 5:20b ESV)

Do you believe that?
Your whole worldview will depend on whether you believe that or not.
