Consider three dimensions of dependency. There\u2019s everyday dependency. I rely on a laptop and a phone, but I\u2019m powerless without the people who make and repair them. I go outside, and there\u2019s a whole network that makes my life possible. When things go wrong there are doctors, opticians, dentists, and a host of systems that exist to put things right. Our whole society relies on client economies to service it.<\/p>\n
Then there\u2019s cosmic dependency. There\u2019s a planet, whose ecosystem we\u2019ve woken up and realized is more fragile than we thought. There\u2019s my parents, without whose existence there would have been no me in the first place. There\u2019s weather and crops and livestock and transport and food processing, and on a grander scale there are a bunch of meteors that haven\u2019t yet struck the earth but could blow us all apart one day.<\/p>\n
But there\u2019s also divine dependency. We have no idea what it cost God to make all things. But we can see what it cost God to be with us in Christ. The cost of our living with God forever is a cost we could never afford, astronomically beyond our capacity or ability to pay.<\/p>\n
