To eschew the hard work of the gospel is to inoculate the world against that gospel. It is not surprising that the tragedy of Cain and Abel followed Adam and Eve's broken relationship with God. To state this more positively, our incarnational efforts to imitate Christ can point people to the one true Reconciler. Use words if necessary. This is never an easy exercise.
Reconciliation is the heart of our gospel.
We need to reclaim this vital and world-changing word in our hearts and lives.
