Description
How does the creation account in Genesis reflect the glory of God? In the first of three chapel messages anticipating the Wheaton College Artist Series performance of Haydn's Creation, professor of Old Testament John Walton examines our ordered world in the light of Genesis 1. By meditating on God's wisdom in creating the cosmos and by employing our wisdom that comes from God, we should come to live lives characterized by rest (the absence of unrest), Shalom (the absence of fear), and coherence (the absence of confusion). Dr. Walton explains how the "big picture"—from creation onward—is all about the restored relationship between God and His people.
