For such radical pointing-out instructions give wholehearted expression to Jesus' passion for the Real, his urge to go to the very end, to go all the way, to the extreme experience of the 'impossible to say' at which point opposites coincide. For where Jesus' passion for the Cross inscribes and embodies the infra-structural zero-logic of the Kingdom, we find the infinite pain of crucifixion turns into the infinite joy of mystical ecstasy, as the erotic intensity of Love meets with the monstosity of crucifixion, just as the all-mighty power of God is revealed in the powerlessness and vulnerability of a suffering servant, while in the disaster of death hides the miracle of new creation."Edward Bergehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13864657929019204993noreply@blogger.com
