About this image
The strings have been cut, and the puppet stands on its own -- not collapsed in a heap as physics would dictate, but upright, alive, impossibly free. The cut strings dangle from the rigging above, and the spotlight falls on the figure that was once controlled by an invisible hand and now moves of its own volition. Galatians 2:20 is about exactly this: the severing of the strings. Before Christ, Paul says, he was animated by the law -- pulled by obligations, jerked by requirements, dancing to a rhythm he did not choose. The law told his hands where to go and his feet where to step. He was a masterfully controlled puppet -- impressive in performance but not free. "I have been crucified with Christ" is the moment the strings are cut. But here is the paradox that makes Galatians 2:20 so strange and so powerful: the puppet does not collapse. It stands. It moves. It is more alive without the strings than it ever was with them. How? "Christ lives in me." The old external control (the law pulling strings from above) is replaced by an internal life (Christ living within). The puppet becomes a person. The controlled becomes the indwelt. External compulsion is replaced by internal transformation, and the result is not chaos but a deeper, freer, more authentic movement than the strings ever produced. Paul goes on: "The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." Faith, not strings. Love, not obligation. Download this HD wallpaper.
