Scripture: Ezekiel 22:30
“I looked for someone to stand in the gap.”
To stand in the gap is to intercede—to step between harm and healing,
between injustice and repair.
The prophet laments the absence of such people.
A reconciling church stands in the gap. It does not inflame division but works toward
restoration. It does not ignore
injustice but confronts it with courage and humility.
Standing in the gap is costly. It
invites misunderstanding. It resists
simplistic narratives.
But someone must stand.
Perhaps that someone is you—in your family, your workplace, your
community.
Lent asks: Where is the breach? And who will step into it?
Reflection Questions
- Where is there a gap in my
community?
- What risk might faith require?
- How can I stand without
self-righteousness?
