“The earthly form of Christ is the form that died on the cross. The image of God is the image of Christ crucified. It is to this image that the life of the disciples must be conformed; in other words, they must be conformed to his death (Phil 3.10, Rom 6.4) The Christian life is a life of crucifixion (Gal 2.19) In baptism the form of Christ's death is impressed upon his own. They are dead to the flesh and to sin, they are dead to the world, and the world is dead to them (Gal 6.14). Anybody living in the strength of Christ's baptism lives in the strength of Christ's death.”

“Day of the Dogwood by Stewart Stafford

If I opened my veins,
With the Saviour’s nails,
Will your bloodlust go?
Where compassion failed?

Do I sweat out blood now?
Or is it your crown of thorns?
Miracles to silvered treachery,
Pure as first Christmas morn.

Scattered flock, shepherd leaves,
Can you sheep know what you do?
Such immaculate deception, but,
Know this sacred heart was true.
