A plumb line measures whether things are vertical, straight, or
up to snuff. Amos sees a plumb line measuring the nation of Israel
and Israel is not plumb. They have tilted away from the ways of
God, justice, and care for those in need. God will not let this
stand forever. Either what is out of plumb must be straightened or
it will fall. Christ is our plumb line revealing when we are out of
sync with God’s reign. By grace, he can bring us back in line with
the ways of God.
