JESUS
CHRIST-DEATH-RECONCILIATION
If we want
the meaning and the worth and the beauty and the power of the cross of Christ
to be seen and loved in our churches, and if the design of the death of His Son
is not only to reconcile us to God but to reconcile alienated ethnic groups to
each other in Christ, then will we not display and magnify the cross of Christ
better by more and deeper and sweeter ethnic diversity and unity in our worship
and life?
