"When Adam fell, God's Son fell: because of the rightful oneing which had been made in heaven, God's Son might not [be disparted] from Adam. (For by Adam I understand All-Man.)"
Julian of Norwich (Ch. 51)
Humanity was created in connection to God, tethered to God, founded in God. We are created through, in, and by Christ and cannot even be in existence without Him. He upholding us, is the source of our very nature, is our template. For we are made in the image of God and have innate connection to Him, having His very breath or Spirit within us sustaining us in life. Somehow, humanity is oned with Christ from the beginning. So when Adam, representing all humanity, fell, Christ also fell. Whatever falls or fails we have in life, Christ is right there with us. Whatever dark alley we end up on, Christ is our companion. Whatever hole or pit we feel trapped in, Christ is with us, never leaving us, never forsaking us. He is always with us in all our sufferings, suffering along with us, and raising us up. No matter what dark night we have gone through, we have never been alone. We have never been separated from Him. He loves us so tenderly and would never let us go through anything alone. We have never been without help or hope. He is deeper than our deepest trouble and stronger than the strongest evil. Our Big Brother Christ is by our side, on our side, sustaining and saving us, bringing all of His strength, light and love to our every situation. We have an unlosable Helper, Supporter and Friend, for Christ cannot ever be separate from humanity. He is permanently with us, one with us, for us!
"If I make my bed in the depths, you are there....your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast."
Psalm 139:8,10 (NIV)
A Prayer: In all the dark times, I have never been alone! Even when I did not reach out to You, You were holding me. Thank You for being there for me, no matter what.
