“A boundary which I am unable to cross … lies between me and me, the old and the new “I.” It is in the encounter with this boundary that I shall be judged.… At this place stands Christ, between me and me, the old and the new existence. Thus Christ is at one and the same time, my boundary and my rediscovered centre. In the fallen world the centre is also the boundary. Man stands between law and fulfillment. He has the law, but he cannot fulfil it. Now Christ stands where man has failed before the law. Christ as the centre means that he is the fulfillment of the law. So he is in turn the boundary and judgement of man, but also the beginning of his new existence, its centre.”
