Indeed, at a thin place, the divine and spiritual world might suddenly break into one's life, revealing grace and glory. I have known some of these thin places, and you have, too. There was an ocean. There was a hideout in the woods. There was a mountain.
Tombs are edge places.
These are places, typically, on the edge of something else. Edge places are where we know the natural world very clearly because we also know the spiritual world very clearly. We are on the edge. This morning, Easter morning, is an edge place, a thin place. Our natural and ordinary world comes close to God this morning.
