went to a grocery store on cermak with ryan and abby the other day. as we were driving along the wild terrain of western avenue, we stopped at a red light. the three of us watched as an older, blind man crossed the road. he was excruciatingly slow. the light turned green and he was still in the middle of the intersection.
a middle-aged man who was standing on the street corner saw the dilemma and rushed out into the street. he gently took hold of the older man's elbow to guide him along. a young woman came out into the street as well, making sure traffic didn't start moving before everyone was safely out of the way.
they were white, black, and asian.
Christians talk a lot about living in an already-but-not-yet world. Jesus is victorious over sin and death - already, but not yet. We are conformed to the image of Christ - already, but not yet.
i think i saw a bit of world peace at that intersection - already, but not yet.
