Jesus is such a passionate protagonist for life (“I have come to give you life…YES, an overwhelming amount of life!” John 10:10) that He takes the remnant of the stuff of life upon Himself so that He can die the death toward which all of mankind was turned. Taking death to the realm of death, He leaves it there and returns to be the truth that He had already predicted: “I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father but by me.” This proclamation destroys the Calvinist/Evolutionary notion that the Father is available to special people who were preprogrammed by God/Everythingness before time was countable. Time makes all men accountable and points to the one who set all things in motion in our realm: Jesus.
The banner of Jesus
flies over a hill
that is a skull,
the place of declaring
with whom
you will be numbered.
The door to the recruiting office was opened on this side of the cross with “WHOSOEVER WILL” written above it. Jesus does not need the help of self-appointed Superhuman/Nietzschean characters that “discover themselves” like comic book heroes in some ridiculous, Augustinian/Manichaean fantasy. You Calvinists need to get a manly philosophy to live by and leave behind your nursery room notions that served to derange men like Hitler. There is only one place and time that matters as far as enlisting to serve the Living God. Come to the cross.
