RT @nick_routledge: @FrontPorchRepub What if resurrection both enables and follows surrender? Christ’s New Creation rises among us, drawing us past forms too small to bear the greater Life. That attraction meets us as Bonhoeffer’s costly grace; our dying into life becomes a cruciform passage into eternal communion.
