When things aren't going well we often say, "things are falling apart."
We're "torn to
pieces" when a loved one suffers. When a relationship ends we
talk about "breaking
up." When we say things like that we are appropriately
describing the brokenness of a world infected by sin and Evil. It has been
noted that the Latin root is the same for our English words "diabolical" and "disintegrate." Sin makes us, and our
world, fall apart.
The Good News of God's Big Story, however, is that Jesus Makes
Things Right. According to Colossians 1:17 Jesus is the one in whom "all
things hold together." Through Christ's life, death, and resurrection Christ has reconciled all things. If you missed last weekend's message, you can
listen to it here.
