Our lesson speaks of our unity...
Our lesson speaks of our unity, for Christ now fills all things. Ancient North African theologian Augustine offers a wonderful image for understanding Paul's point. He would have us think of God (and Christ) as a vast ocean, larger than all the seven seas combined, and the universe as but a small grain of sand in that vast ocean (Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, First Series, Vol. 1, pp. 104-105, 74). All of us are nothing but little specks in that grain of sand, all saturated by the waters of the divine ocean.
