Page 36 - THE CHURCH BEFORE THE MOCKING WORLD

On Holy Saturday, when Jesus dwelt within death in the tomb, He redefined death by making it possible for death to be defeated in such a way that Holiness could become the experience ofspiritually deadwomen and men.
In this way, we can see how theprocessof the Incarnation was a picture of how Holiness is aprocesswith a goal in sight that we asspiritually deadwomen and men would become like God in Christ; Holy.
The process was:
He was conceived and He sanctified the womb of the woman.
He was born and He sanctified life itself.
He was Baptised and He sanctified the water.
He performed miracles and redefined forever matter and time. He loved and redefined what love was.
He died on the Cross and took the sins of the world upon Himself and completely reversed the order of law and ethics and their consequences forever.
He entered the earth and took away death by redefining what death was.
He rose again to redefine the place of sin, death and Satan within the cosmos forever.
He ascended into Heaven to take His place of authority to lead, by His Spirit, the new humanity, the new community
that is His Body; the Church which was to become the source of fundamental change upon the earth and in Heaven.
All of this was for a single purpose. Man would be able to partake of the Divine Nature. Man would become Holy as God is Holy. Another way of saying it is that God and man would become one like the smoke of incense and the Shekinah smoke of God as they mingled, above the Mercy seat, between the Cherubim, in the Holiest of Holies on the Day of Atonement.
Eucharistic Socialism is: Focusing on the Incarnation, not as a set of theologicalprinciples, but as aprocessof divine actions that have as their end result God and man become fully one and united in Holiness.
