Connected
Through Christ
When I attended
the Racial Righteousness Conference held at the Relevant Word Church a few
months ago I drew this flower. This event brought together people from all four
of the Covenant Churches here in Colorado Springs. We had Relevant Word, Iglesia Cristiana Getsemani, Faith
Covenant, and Living Hope Covenant. We were people of different races, ages,
and cultures. But we were all connected by Christ.
Months later,
last Sunday, we reunited again. This time at my church, Living Hope Covenant. Pastor
Naas, from Faith Covenant preached. Low and behold he spoke about being
connected. His take was that all of us have many different interests and
activities in our lives, but Christ needs to be at the center of them all.
I think this
flower tells both stories. One is that we are united as a people through the love
of Jesus. We are one in Christ. What a beautiful bouquet of flowers we were!
Second is that
in each area of our lives, school, jobs, sports, hobbies, God is there. He should
be the constant connection. Don't categorize your life and leave God out of a
portion of your time. He should be your center, connecting each piece together
like the petals of a flower.
