Lines

I would change one word in today's devotion. It's in the very last sentence before the prayer. The sentence reads,

"Christ stands outside the line, welcoming us all to holy space."
In the context of the rest of the devotion, I would change it to:
"Christ stands inside the line, welcoming us all to holy space."

This is incarnational theology. Christ doesn't stand outside of our human sphere calling us out of it, he comes into it - to redeem it. He comes into the our midst, into the realm of all of our divisions, breaking down those divisions to create a holy space right there where we are. This is the peace that Ephesians 2 talks about.

What lines has Christ broken down in your life or thinking?
