Liminal is the "in-between" space where many of us often feel stuck. This is precisely where we are as residents of this planet; while we taste goodness here and there, this world is far from "good." While we get glimpses of justice, we do not live in a completely just society. Ironically, Jesus is very familiar with liminal spaces. Before He began His ministry, He entered into a liminal space for forty days where He fasted, prayed, and was confronted with three temptations. These three temptations are the same ones we were confronted with this past year during lockdown, which was our form of liminal space.
Matthew 4:1-11
