The space between God and man is quite a distance to
bridge, isn’t it.
I’m not talking about the distance between hell and heaven,
or the moral distance between, say, Hitler and Jesus Christ. That’s obvious
enough to not require a labored explanation. I’m not even thinking of the need
to get saved or the importance of becoming reconciled to God and escaping the
judgement we are all due.
No, I’m speaking here, not as a member of a fallen race, but
as one who already knows and loves God and is seeking, however incompetently,
to stagger along in the footsteps of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The distance between — the difference between — me and him … good grief!
