Just as there is neither Jew/Greek
male/female
bond/free
in Christ,
there is neither presence/absence
in Christ.
The sense of oneness
precludes division/separation.
The sense of progression
demands ongoing activity
until we all
we all
come in the unity of faith
into the perfectness
that measures
the stature of the
fullness of Christ—
which reveals us
as we were when
created
in the image of God.
