The Message
The horizontal and vertical intersect at the cross. At the heart of the cross is the demonstration of the fullness of God's love for us. Jesus Christ died so that we might be reconciled to God and to one another, because sin fractures the relationship we have with God and with one another. It's all broken, and so God has set to make all things right, all things new. So when we recognize that the central thing in life is not only the right worship of God but also to live in sacrificial and selfless love towards one another, then we're right there, right on the border of God's Kingdom, so close we can smell the sweetness wafting around us, so close we can sense it, so close the presence of the Holy Spirit surrounds us and whispers to our souls, reminding us who we are and whose we are.
