I thought he was brilliant, yet very humble and patient, and had a great sense of humor. I have been wanting to read "Simply Christian" for a while, but hadn't gotten to it. So many books, so little time! So I ordered both books. For anyone interested, I am currently reading "To Live Is Christ" by Beth Moore. It is a great book on the life of the Apostle Paul. I am having a hard time putting it down. I think it would appeal to mature Christians and someone like me, who has a lot of catching up to do!

Hebrews 1

In the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth,
and the heavens are the work of your hands.
They will perish, but you remain;
they will all wear out like a garment.
You will roll them up like a robe;
like a garment they will be changed.

The heavens and earth will be rolled up and discarded, in the way that clothes are changed.

The old clothes that have perished are thrown away, and replaced with new clothes.

The old clothes are rolled up and thrown away.

Wright is very good on explaining this ‘clothing’ metaphor, which many people up to now have failed to understand.
