It would be my great honor to someday live up to this description of a Christian: "You can tell by the way their towering sorrow and their crazy joy puncture the monotonous ugliness"
This essay is timeless writing. "But through the wreckage Christ goes walking" lifts my soul.
I really liked the line about Jesus Christ being fully human. I feel many Christians, following the common adage of “Christ was both fully God and fully man,” often forget the latter.
Another fantastic essay, Klavan the Younger. This is what will save our society...the acknowledgment (of enslaved souls, one by one ) that Christ alone is the solution, that surrender to Him is true freedom, and the recognition that the "I, Me, My" culture comes straight from the evil one who has promoted it since the Garden of Eden.
“Towering sorrow and crazy joy.” That’s me. Brilliant summary. Thank you to the Klavans for this daily dose of love, sanity, and exquisite writing and thought.
Babylon: Out of the north came the massive army of Cyrus, the Persian, fulfilling God’s promise of destruction of the great city. There is nothing left of Babylon, just a scratched out perimeter, where nothing was ever again built, and only wild animals, even hyenas, and the occasional curious archeologists tread. Evidence before our eyes that, when God says forever, He means it.
This essay reminds me of my favorite Bible passage: Hebrews 12:1-2 - Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. - People are watching us, and my eyes are on Jesus.

Beautiful essay, Mr. Klavan. Thank you.
