Jesus is the in-breaking of God’s
regenerative intimacy with us. And on Calvary in his Hour he will pour
himself out. The blood and water gushing from his hands and feet and his
wounded heart will drench and anoint the earth, from this sacred clay a new
creation will blossom. And all of creation gone hopelessly astray will be
released from the burden of sin and all darkness and shame and Satan’s constant
deceptions. Things must made right again. Light will indeed conquer darkness
once and for all, because God will allow Godself to be crushed by death or
darkness. But they will be duped and reversed, for they are no match for the Light
that he is.
