The Five Ws

     I've been told that good journalism, or the way to tell a good story, is with the use of the five Ws - Who, What, Where, When, and Why. 
     The who of my story is Jesus, the Son of God.
     Where it all begin was out in the universe before the world was even created.  Then, the where was a scene taking place in a manager, and later upon a cross between two thieves.  
     When did the main focus of the story occur? When the temple veil tore into from top to bottom, the earth shook, the rocks split apart, graves opened and some of the dead arose, and then again when the stone was rolled away.  The "final when" of the chapter is only known to God when He returns in the air.
     What is this all about?  It's about truth and mercy; it's about love, peace, and light.  It's about a King willing to live, rejected by many, in order to teach and heal.  It's about a Savior willing to give up His life for sinners.  It's about forgiveness.  It's about death and life everlasting. 
      Why?  It was all done in order to provide an eternal home to those who believe.  It was done to save me and you.  John 3:16  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
      Often writers add "How" to their storyline.   My further thoughts would be that the how will take place when Jesus returns in the air to take His people home.  1 Thessalonians 4:17 "Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."
