IN THE MIDDLE


The space in the middle of Christ the Creator and Christ the Re-creator is the cross. We can bring all the parts of us (the good, the bad and the lego mess) to the foot of the cross.  In the middle, at the cross, is a free and protected space (peace) for you, your neighbor, your friends and your family to begin the journey of being reconciled (made right) to God and to others.  In the middle, at the cross, is the beginning of the death and resurrection that bring us hope in the restoration of our brokenness right now and hope in the future when all things are fully restored.   In the middle, at the cross, is the beginning of the journey of reconciliation.  In the middle, at the cross, we are each given the role of reconciler as we faithfully step towards the foot of the cross.   

 “For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.” (Col.1:19-20 NIV84)
