That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand only
through faith. So do not become proud, but stand in awe.
Such a change took place on Calvary 2,000 years ago. Jesus Christ died there. With him died
the sins of the world. You and I are free! The brokenness between ourselves and God is no
more. We are slaves only because we have not acknowledged and accepted what God has
done in our behalf.
(Romans 11.20
NRSV)
Mark Twain told of the night the Mississippi River cut through a narrow neck of land and
changed courses. It was before the Civil War. A black man went to sleep as a slave in
Missouri. He awoke to discover that because of the river's change, the land he was now in was
Illinois, and he was a free man.
Dear God, help me to overcome the broken times of my life and remind me of your gift of love
in Jesus Christ. Amen.
