In Christ there is no east or west, in Him no south or north, but one great fellowship of love throughout the whole wide earth.
John Oxenham
It’s a nice thought isn’t it?
This great fellowship of love stretching itself around the world, making loops and crisscrossing the globe, touching everyone.
It’s true. This is the way of Jesus, his love finding us wherever we are. His red blood dripping down on us, into us. We embrace it and say, “Hallelujah! I’m saved!”
And then what?
Because Christ restores the peace between God and us, we now go and, “…are Christ’s ambassadors…” to this message of reconciliation and peace, (2 Corinthians 5:20).
And some of us will go and tell, unable to hold back such a beautiful ministry of reconciliation. But for others, it is an uneven road, because while we are forgiven and reconciled, we have much to forgive and reconcile with each other. This world is filled with high rocked walls of entitled rights and petty preferences, abuse and forgotten-ness. Yes, even the church looks like this.
