Do I lead us into a den of lions?

Savage and hateful?  Out for blood?

Will you stand as champions for the Wretched Thing?  Will you tear me down and burn the ashes of our invisible bridges?  Will you cast me out…further?

I will move mountains and brave the sea of bitter sorrow!

I will walk through fire and tear hideous flesh from my starving soul!

I will walk a righteous path and glance upon you with burning eyes of pity.  Memories fading as you live with guilt and die of shame.

Or?

Do you hide behind the castle walls?  Miserable, cackling witches of hate!

Does your gold make you mighty?

It matters not for I have faith in my army!

Learning by Example!

The symbolic language of the crucifixion is the death of the old paradigm; resurrection is a leap into a whole new way of thinking.
