An Image of Christ
Christ and the Compression of Time
Perceive how Christ reversed time.
The Body.
Man falls through time, slowly at first, each minute, each day, each month brimming with change: then faster and faster, till the years flash by indistinguishable, empty of all experience.
The Spirit.
Thirty years Jesus grew, studied, learned, foresaw.
Three years Christ ministered—what teachings, healings, miracles, communion with the multitude, preparation of his disciples!
Three months from the going up to Jerusalem until the end—faster, faster matter is stirred, tighter, tighter is time compressed.
Three days of his passion: each minute, each second intent with agony and creation.
Three hours upon the cross—“And behold, the veil of the temple was split in twain”.
Time split. Past, present, above and below were fused. A
nd in those hours a whole great age of man’s development was formed.
This is regeneration. The reversal of time.
From slow to faster, more potent, dazzling, vertiginous, unbearable. Crack!
Ecstasy. God.
I did not ask to use this. I will take it down if Robin objects. If anyone ever reads it besides me here, Which I wish would happen .
