Jesus Christ is beginning a new creation … starting over. A new universe, a new government. He even is repairing all relationships in himself.

How does that work?

If Jesus Christ lives within my friends then I can develop trust of Christ in them. He is the great equalizer. If they’ve laid down their old identity and life and taken up a new one in Christ then:

I can begin to see them no longer as superior to me; and to be resisted.

Or no longer inferior to me; to be controlled or dominated or looked down upon.

We can now truly begin to trust one another, and know one another as equals if Christ lives within us both.
