The Unfinished Story by David J Montgomery
There is a story, one that runs from the beginning of creation itself, through thousands of years of human history. It is a story of triumph and disaster, miraculous deeds and terrible betrayals, divine justice and ultimate sacrifice, and of steadfast faith continuing down through generations and across continents to the present day. This is a story that is still being told, and will be finished only at the end of time. One remarkable chapter in that bigger story is the story of IFES, now 75 years long, with many incredible adventures along the way, just as there are in the books of Luke and Acts. In these 30 days of devotions, we can zoom in on a very important part of the Christian story, and take the lessons it teaches to strengthen our faith and enhance our witness today. Each day there is an opportunity to dig deeper into the themes that Luke uses to build his narrative of Christ and the church; to pray into the issues that Jesus, his disciples and the early church faced, and relate them to the changing times we live in now; to reflect on the passage and consider how we can respond; to explore the context of 'the wider story' in which these important events took place; and take a few minutes to meditate on an 'Evening Psalm' to recentre and bring us back to God after the activity of our day.
Dr David J 'Monty' Montgomery is Regional Secretary for IFES Europe, overseeing the university ministry in over 40 countries, from Greenland to Cyprus. Holding degrees in English Literature, Music and a doctorate in Ministry, he was a Presbyterian pastor in Ireland for many years before joining IFES.
