One Drop Of Eternity Is

Exegesis, Exegesis, And Yet More Exegesis!

There Is A Notion That Complete Impartiality Is The Most Fitting And Indeed The Normal Disposition For True Exegesis , Because It Guarantees Complete Absence Of Prejudice. For A Short Time, Around 1910, This Idea Threatened To Achieve Almost A Canonical Status In Protestant Theology. But Now, We Can Quite Calmly Describe It As Merely Comical.

That The Zeal For God's Honor Is Also A Dangerous Passion, That The Christian Must Bring With Him The Courage To Swim Against The Tide Instead Of With It... Accept A Good Deal Of Loneliness, Will Perhaps Be Nowhere So Clear And Palpable As In The Church, Where He Would So Much Like Things To Be Different. Yet He Cannot And He Will Not Refuse To Take This Risk And Pay This Price... He Belongs Where The Reformation Of The Church Is Underway Or Will Again Be Underway.

The Nativity Mystery “conceived From The Holy Spirit And Born From The Virgin Mary”, Means, That God Became Human, Truly Human Out Of His Own Grace. The Miracle Of The Existence Of Jesus , His “climbing Down Of God” Is: Holy Spirit And Virgin Mary! Here Is A Human Being, The Virgin Mary, And As He Comes From God, Jesus Comes Also From This Human Being. Born Of The Virgin Mary Means A Human Origin For God. Jesus Christ Is Not Only Truly God, He Is Human Like Every One Of Us. He Is Human Without Limitation. He Is Not Only Similar To Us, He Is Like Us.

In Jesus, God Wills To Be True God Not Only In The Height But Also In The Depth - In The Depth Of Human Creatureliness, Sinfulness And Mortality.
