Imagine there was a group of people who lived in a warehouse without doors – no way to get in or get out.
But there were some windows, very high up, yet covered in grime.
One day one of them decided to climb up and scrape the grime off one of the windows and looked out.
Surprised, he saw a world outside that he never knew existed and called to his friends to climb up and see it for themselves.

There were people on the street outside and they were all abuzz.
They were pointing up to something that those in the warehouse could not see because of the roof that over-hanged the windows.
They could only see the buzzing crowd and that they were pointing up to something.

They could only see the buzzing crowd and that they were pointing up to something.
They puzzled at it and puzzled at it but couldn’t figure out what the people in the street were all worked up about.
Eventually, growing bored, they just climbed back down.
So, what were the folks on the street pointing to?
They were pointing to the sky!
The sun!
The stars!
The wonders of creation!
The people inside the warehouse couldn’t see it, but they could!
And, though they certainly didn’t understand it all, they were captured by it.
They wondered after it.
But just imagine for a moment that one day one of the walls of the warehouse fell away and the people inside finally ventured out and actually saw the heavens!

Barth’s point is that this is precisely what happens when we finally discover the Word of God as the Word of God!
In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the Word was God.
when we discover the Word of God as the Word of God!
The warehouse wall crumbles and we actually see the sky!
We begin to comprehend for the first time all that God is and has done.
“We enter a world that stretches far beyond our dreams, a world of creation and salvation before us, inviting us in.
Today we will be discovering that
The Bible is about Jesus
