From the Sermon on the Law in the Sermon on the Mount. This target can help us understand grace. Christ gives us many targets to aim for - faithfulness in relationships, do not murder, do not lie. If we see ourselves in the centre, it's easy to look down and judge others. This is the position of the Pharisees. But Jesus showed us that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God! Only Christ is perfect - in the bullseye!

We're all scattered around the target having missed the mark [sinned]. When we understand ourself as the green arrow, we can throw away all pretence. A forgiven sinner who can embrace those around them as we all aim towards Christ, the author and perfecto of our faith! What a welcoming church that will be. Aiming Christward, but embracing all who understand their sainted sinner position.
