“So where does the game of Jenga fit in? In these ways: First of all, Jenga reminds us that pride is the greatest temptation. Pride suggests that the point of life is to be like God and that being like God means rearranging and reconstructing the person God has created us to be in a vain attempt to improve ourselves, but in so doing, actually weakening ourselves and setting up an eventual fall. And yet we fall for this temptation all the time, thinking that the higher we make ourselves, the better off we will be. Jesus came to show us that the point of life is to be grounded in his love, and that when we are grounded in his love, we are not only totally secure, but our lives produce the fruits of the Spirit, and that that is how God intends for us to grow into the stature of Christ.”
