Flan,
As best I can figure it, what you are saying is:
From a limited or specific point
of view Jesus committed himself to following God's
will for change and suffered. But from a larger or
different perspective his actions created
salvation and
therefore is life affirming.
(The assignation of "salvation" or some other
unstated positive being the only way I could see
you meaning that crucifixion is life affirming.)
Is that accurate?
This is very interesting. Following God, or one's
bliss, or just trying to make the best choices in
life is often tricky and what appears to be negative
within one (brief) context is often very different
when viewed from a much
broader (or more lengthy) context.
(Time being one of the biggest factors in
seeing full context.)
Thank you very much. I will as usual add your post
to the original Inner Game Bead / move page for
Sarah's submission THE SYMBOL OF THE CROSS IN THE
CHRISTIAN FAITH.
