Christianity is the story of how the rightful
king has landed, you might say landed in
disguise, and is calling us all to take part in
a great campaign of sabotage.
-C. S. Lewis

The man behind the curtain
- Damien
- I like words, images, graphic design, well-turned phrases, doodling, humor and profundity. These are found in every quarter and I'm always on the hunt. I was rescued (in November, 1974) from guilt and a stubborn irrational belief in an impersonal chance universe (with the accompanying hopelessness). I'm now convinced that nothing is more obvious or worthy of our attention than our Creator and the one true ancient path. Only Jesus has the words of everlasting life. Like John Newton "I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see."

I'm loving this quote.
NT Wright echoes this sentiment in his unusual (and refreshingly unabrasive) exegesis of Matthew 13:13-14 ("seeing they will not see, and hearing they will not hear). He argues that Jesus was making a statement about the necessity of being covert because of the political/cultural/spiritual nature of the "campaign of sabotage" he was leading.
Alternately, modern day Calvinists often site this verse as proof that God willfully sends people to hell.
I like N.T. Wright's interpretation / hermeneutic.
