Communion in Christ

The solidarity and communion in Christ is his suffering for all people, all sins. There is no loneliness, heartache, failure, anger or temptation that he does not know. It is the acknowledgment of the suffering shared in Christ that binds sinners to Christ. It is easy for sinners of a similar type to come together under Christ but it becomes difficult for people who struggle with sins foreign and disgusting to another, who never the less, find relief in Christ Jesus, to share communion under a single savior. The most glorious principle of the atonement of Christ is it's breadth, saving all who will. And yet, the universal nature of the atonement, is precisely what serves to divide the saved. Possibly, it is the hardest tenet of the gospel to actually believe that God loves all sinners. We insist that there is a gradation of sin. That sinners who don't sin as badly are better than those who sin more. However, in this insistence we only highlight our misunderstanding of the atonement, and quite likely, make the atonement ineffectual in our own lives.
The one person who actually could separate himself from the rest of mankind by virtue of his righteousness, chose to throw himself into the center of humanity by suffering for all sin.
