This Good Friday, remember Christ is the tent that was set up.
The Tent-Pegs were driven in, and the flesh opened - that we may have Life, between the Waters of Death
His Side was pierced, that we may enter in through the place where Marital Life was Born
The Black Skies and Cracking Rocks assail us, but we are hidden within the Crevice in the Rock
He shields us in His body, even as we are carried in Him to the Tomb
The Sabbath Rest in the midst of Murderous Triumph
Then He comes into His own, uniting us with Him as One Eternally, A New Life
The 3rd Day's Prelude of the 8th
Amen

The Only Valid Application
The only valid application of any sermon, Bible study etc... surely must be "Come"
The goal is to draw everyone to Jesus, constantly, again and again, by diverse ways and actions
Thus in any application my goal must be to get people to come.
If I tell them to join a cell group - it is to 'Come' into His promised presence when 2-3 gather
If I tell them to leave a sinful habit - it is to 'Come' into His arms, as they run
If I tell them to read their Bibles - it is to 'Come' daily to Him first
Even when I tell people to 'Go' (into the world) - I am telling them to 'Go' because I want them to 'Come'
Christ came to draw all men to Himself, and to the Father

Moved
Can we have a more Trinitarian theology of the 'passability' of God?
Is the Father moved by the Son?
Does the Father need the Son ?
Won't answers to questions like that help understand how he relates to the church ?
What do you think?

Indestructible
Jesus was the suitable priest because He had an indestructible life
The resurrection was inevitable for the son of god could not be destroyed. The spirit of god within him - that is his trust of his father's love for him made him indestructible.
Thus in his priestly ministry he has made us too indestructible . For we have the same Spirit and the same ministry and are joined into eternity
Death and decay may compress us , but it cannot extinguish what has now become eternal
