“In a general way we concede that God made the world out of joy: He didn’t need it; He just thought it was a good thing.” – The Supper of the Lamb by Robert Farrar Capon
Why did God create the world? What a question? I wasn’t really thinking very deeply (I was watching Spider-Man while reading a theological cookbook) until I just read the line above. I like the line from Capon’s book. “God made the world out of joy.” I like to believe that God was (is) so good, so beautiful, so much pure love, that he wanted to share. He wanted others to get to experience his goodness, his beauty, his love.
