The Ultimate Sacrifice

In order to have some ideas that you can let go and then reconstitute, you have to be a master of something before you're formed at all. You see this reflected an popular culture, for example, in the movie pinocchio. To rescue the father means to make peace with your culture and to embody it. But then not to assume that that's absolute. Its a necessary process of discipline. The next idea that underlies the passion ideas in the new testament is that the ultimate sacrifice is the sacrifice of yourself to god. This requires a different order of being.
