In a Western industrial mindset, what is broken, what is imperfect, must be “fixed” to be without flaws, or be discarded. In Jesus’ post-Resurrection appearances, he not only came back as a glorified human being who has carried our sorrows and transgressions onto the cross, but he came back as a wounded glorified human being!
In kintsugi, we are to “mend to make new” rather than “fix,” to make the fractures more beautiful by first beholding them, and then to use Japanese lacquer and gold to accentuate the beauty of fractures, rather than hide them. As the broken body of Christ, the church must lead in the way of modeling such mending to the fractured, suffering world. We invite skeptical folks into an authentic community of brokenness, made beautiful by our kintsugi Savior.
