The temptation to be resisted is the temptation of meaning itself.

…I claim that Christ died on the cross precisely to reject such attempts at finding a higher purpose or meaning. Rather, the message is: “Your standards matter to me. I throw myself into creation, and abandon my place up there.”

…The message is not: we trust God. The message is rather: God trusts us. The gesture of Christ says, “I leave it over to you.”

…God made the wager on us. It is really a crazy wager, where God is saying: “I leave it to you. Holy Ghost, community of believers, you have to do it!”
