The Wall of Separation


This is the steel wall being constructed along the Rio Grande River in south Texas. The wall is embedded deep in concrete and it is is very high. It will be impossible to go under the wall and it will be impossible to climb over it. It is an overwhelming thing to see as it winds its way along the beautiful river that separates one country from another. It’s purpose of course is to keep people on their proper side of the river.

We sat in our Jeep and watched as flocks of birds flew noisily over the wall, back and forth, paying no attention to the barrier. The wind gusts blew dust through the wall, from one side to the other. Of course that’s because the wall is only to stop the flow of people.

Isn’t it good to know that one day when Jesus comes there will be no such fences or walls of separation between us?
