Some Questions (a slight doxology)

"Can it be that sweat drops of blood
Can pierce the armor of Sin and shame
Greater than swords of steel and iron?

"Can it be that the power of Sin,
Which stood like a rock undaunted,
Now withers before the meekness of Heaven?

"To fathom the strength that is the Cross,
Salvation won through suffering shame.
Can my mind come near to grasping the whole of it?"

-Jon Vowell (c) 2008

An excellent exploration of the eucatastrophe. Sin lost that battle, and everything made a sharp turn to the good. Isn't it amazing, that one Man could do this?
