At the beginning of creation everything was perfect, but all too soon we as humans broke that perfection, resulting in the way things are today. The thing is, we know we're broken, so we try desperately to fix that brokenness, often starting with ourselves, then turning to other people, and finally looking to the world to fix us. But none of those things can fix our brokenness, only Jesus can! And that's where the redemption part of the story comes in.
