Page 89 captures much of as DJ likes to put it, "the scandal" of Christ's new world order.
I'd like to imagine the "inside out" heart invasion of Christ's kingdom engendering these words as I approach calvary with Jeffrey Dahmer or Sadaam Hussein or some other arch-villian
Page 89 2nd to last paragraph rewrite:
"And now, as an act of Christ's radical inbreaking of His messianic kingdom that destroys your fragile, dark, puny heart, go back down the hill and invite the person who is trapped in a cell of self-hatred and angry retribution up the hill with you. Show them Jesus and as an act of the new heart that you have in Christ, wipe away their tears of shame. Wash their feet. Break some bread. Pour some wine. Share communion with the prodigal. Its your right, Steve, as offspring of the prodgal Father."
