By
Christ redeemed, by Christ possessed, in Christ we live as one.
---Michael Perry, c.1979
US and THEM.
In all the
conflicts in the history of the world, there have only been two sides. Sharks
and Jets, cats and dogs, Auburn and Alabama, Protestants and Catholics,
Democrats and Republicans --- us…and them.
If we believe, really believe in Christ’s power to break
down barriers, us and them is no more. It has no place in our world, or in
our vocabularies. The same Christ that redeems us, that buys us back from the
world; the same Christ that possesses us, directing our thoughts and actions;
that same Christ destroys the walls we build between us and them.
In Christ we live as one.
