In Seven Stanzas at Easter, he nearly leaves writing altogether to mount the pulpit and declare Jesus Christ's victory over death. The only shame here lies not with limited poets but with timid preachers who, by commission or omission, preach against the Resurrection. Apparently that's how we regard the Resurrection. But sharing such a spirit is not the Holy Spirit. But sin is just that, looking past God's gift for some pious wish.
People finally reject the Resurrection because they're looking past it for something else.
Flesh over flesh Only in this way can the Spirit fight against the old world flesh that seeks to circumvent the Resurrection by refusing the cross on which Jesus Christ hung pierced and dead, not merely paused. Only flesh can overcome our flesh. Only death can overcome death. This way of preaching is the true Christian idiom, not mocking God with metaphors. This death and Resurrection was what God was all about from the beginning through to the end.
