Volume 21 — April 14, 1927 “How Our Lord came upon earth to suffer all the evils that the human will had done. How the Word of Jesus is life.”
STAGE ONE — Independent Biblical Identification
The Incarnation as Reparation for the Prison of the Human Will
“It formed her prison, it took away from her the freedom of being able to move around within her God, in the heavens—wherever she wanted. It rendered her incapable of doing good; it took light away from her, and surrounded her with thick darkness. And I came upon earth and enclosed Myself in the prison of the womb of My dear Mama… I could not even stretch out a hand, or a foot… The human will had done all this to the creatures, and I, from the very beginning of My Conception, came to suffer this pain in order to knock down the prison of the human will, and give back to man what he had lost.”
Philippians 2:6–8 — “who, existing in the form of God, didn’t consider equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, yes, the death of the cross.” The kenosis is the Pauline name for precisely what Jesus describes: the voluntary constraint and darkening of divine freedom, from the immensity of God to a womb where he cannot stretch out a hand or open his eyes — the most narrow and dark prison, taken on deliberately to break the prison the human will had fashioned for man. Christological/Trinitarian
John 8:34–36 — “Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin. A bondservant doesn’t live in the house forever. A son remains forever. If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.” The freedom that the human will took away — the freedom “to move around within her God, in the heavens, wherever she wanted” — and the Son’s explicit purpose of restoring it names the Incarnation’s liberating telos: the slave-condition broken by the Son who enters it. Direct doctrinal parallel
Isaiah 61:1 — “The Lord GOD’s Spirit is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the humble. He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and release to those who are bound,” The formal statement of the Messiah’s liberating purpose: to open the prison — exactly what Jesus says he came for in the Conception. Typological
Galatians 4:4–5 — “But when the fullness of the time came, God sent out his Son, born to a woman, born under the law, that he might redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as children.” Born of woman — born into the constraint-conditions of fallen human existence — is the Pauline compression of Jesus’s account: the Son entering the prison precisely to purchase the sonship that the human will had forfeited. Direct doctrinal parallel
Hebrews 2:14, 17 — “Since then the children have shared in flesh and blood, he also himself in the same way partook of the same, that through death he might bring to nothing him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, Therefore he was obligated in all things to be made like his brothers, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make atonement for the sins of the people.” The deliberate entry into the human condition in its fullness — including its imprisonment — as the mechanism of liberation: taking on the prison-condition to break it from within. Christological/Trinitarian
Romans 8:3 — “For what the law couldn’t do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh,” The entry into the flesh-condition (including what the human will had reduced it to) as the mechanism by which sin’s power is addressed from within rather than from without. Direct doctrinal parallel
The Nativity as Reparation for the Stable and Manure of the Human Will
“I wanted to be born in a stable and suffer the most extreme poverty. The human will had formed something worse than a stable for the poor creatures, while passions had formed manure in their souls… I had the sorrow that the human will had converted Our most beautiful work, Our dear jewel, Our dear Image—the poor man—almost into a beast. There was not one pain that I suffered that did not have its origin in the human will, and I subjected Myself to everything in order to rehabilitate it once again in the Kingdom of the Supreme Fiat.”
2 Corinthians 8:9 — “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might become rich.” The voluntary impoverishment is the redemptive mechanism stated with maximum economy: Jesus takes on the poverty the human will had caused — the stable, the extreme cold, the stench — so that man’s soul-poverty might be exchanged for divine richness. Direct doctrinal parallel
Isaiah 1:3 — “The ox knows his owner, and the donkey his master’s crib; but Israel doesn’t know. My people don’t consider.” The two animals at the crib knowing their Creator while Israel does not is the prophetic irony that underlies Jesus’s sorrow: the human will has reduced man to a condition worse than the beasts, who at least recognize their Lord. Typological
Genesis 1:26–27 — “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness… So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him.” The original dignity of man as God’s image — “Our most beautiful work, Our dear jewel, Our dear Image” — which the human will has degraded to near-bestiality. The Nativity’s poverty is the targeted reparation for this specific degradation: the image enters the degraded conditions of the image-bearer to restore it. Direct doctrinal parallel
Psalm 22:6 — “But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised by the people.” The creature reduced below its dignity — below humanity itself — expresses what the human will had accomplished; the Nativity enters this self-emptied condition as reparation. Typological
The Passion as Reparation for the Stripping and Deformation
“I wanted to suffer being stripped in the scourging, denuded on the Cross, and stretched in such a horrible way that My bones could be counted, amid confusion, abandonment and unspeakable bitterness. All this was nothing other than the outpouring of the human will, that had stripped man of all goods, and with its poisonous breath, had covered him with confusion and opprobrium, to the point of transforming him in a horrible way, and of rendering him an object of mockery for his many enemies.”
Psalm 22:17–18 — “I can count all of my bones. They look and stare at me. They divide my garments among them. They cast lots for my clothing.” The diary text’s “My bones could be counted” and the stripping cite Psalm 22:17–18 almost verbatim; Jesus’s passion recapitulates in his own body the condition to which the human will had reduced the soul — the soul stripped of all goods, exposed, counted over by enemies, divided. Direct doctrinal parallel
Psalm 22:1, 6–8 — “For the Chief Musician; set to “The Doe of the Morning.” A Psalm by David. My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning? But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised by the people. All those who see me mock me. They insult me with their lips. They shake their heads, saying, “He trusts in the LORD. Let him deliver him. Let him rescue him, since he delights in him.” The abandonment and systematic mockery in the Passion are the reparatory recapitulation of exactly what the human will had done: rendered man “an object of mockery for his many enemies,” covered him with confusion and opprobrium. The entire Psalm is the reparatory enactment of the human-will condition. Typological
Isaiah 53:4–5 — “Surely he has borne our sickness and carried our suffering; yet we considered him plagued, struck by God, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed.” The systematic bearing of the evils produced by the human will in his own body — each pain targeted at a corresponding wound — is the structure of Isaiah’s Servant Song and the explicit mechanism Jesus describes. Typological
Lamentations 3:1–3 — “I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of his wrath. He has led me and caused me to walk in darkness, and not in light. Surely he turns his hand against me again and again all day long.” The Passion’s abandonment and darkness recapitulate the condition of the creature living under the human will — darkness without light, the hand against one all day — making the Passion the enacted lament of what the human will has made of man. Typological
Romans 5:18–19 — “So then as through one trespass, all men were condemned; even so through one act of righteousness, all men were justified to life. For as through the one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one, many will be made righteous.” The structural reversal: the human will’s deformation through one man’s disobedience answered by the Son’s obedience through every stage of his life, each pain corresponding to a specific element of the damage done. Direct doctrinal parallel
The Word of Jesus as Life — Silence, Pain, and Prayer Maturing the Gift
“Whenever I speak, a life comes out of Me—the greatest gift. And I must see whether there is disposition on the part of creatures, so as to place this life of Mine in them; and not seeing it, I am forced to remain silent, because there is no place in which to put this great gift… These pains and these prayers mature the gift, and while they make Me open My mouth to issue the new life that regards My Divine Will, they dispose creatures to receive It. These pains are more than sun’s rays, that mature the fields, the fruits, the flowers. Therefore, everything is necessary—silence, pains, prayers—for the decorum of the manifestations of My Will.”
John 1:1, 4 — “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. In him was life, and the life was the light of men.” Every time Jesus speaks, a life comes out of him because he is the Word of Life — what he is, he communicates when he speaks; his speech-act is the outgoing of the very Life that is constitutive of his identity. Direct doctrinal parallel
John 6:63, 68 — “It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life. Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.” Jesus himself names his words as spirit and life — the explicit New Testament ground for the doctrine that when Jesus speaks, a life comes out of him as the greatest gift. Direct doctrinal parallel
John 16:12–13 — “I still have many things to tell you, but you can’t bear them now. However, when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you things that are coming.” Jesus’s own statement that he withholds words when the hearer cannot yet receive them is the direct parallel to “I must see whether there is disposition on the part of creatures, so as to place this life of Mine in them; and not seeing it, I am forced to remain silent.” The silence is not absence of will to give but discernment of readiness. Direct doctrinal parallel
Isaiah 55:10–11 — “For as the rain comes down and the snow from the sky, and doesn’t return there, but waters the earth, and makes it grow and bud, and gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater; so is my word that goes out of my mouth: it will not return to me void, but it will accomplish that which I please, and it will prosper in the thing I sent it to do.” The divine word as life-giving outgoing from God’s mouth, requiring prepared ground to accomplish its purpose — grounds the “decorum of manifestations” principle: the word goes out only when it will not return empty. Direct doctrinal parallel
Matthew 13:3–9, 18–23 (paraphrase) — The parable of the sower: the same word falls on different soils, productive only where there is prepared ground. Jesus’s silence when creatures are not disposed directly enacts the sower-logic at a higher register: silence is the withholding of the seed until the soil is ready; pains and prayers are the preparation of the ground. Typological
Hebrews 4:12 — “For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” The word of God is inherently living — each utterance of Jesus carries life precisely because the Word cannot be separated from the Life that constitutes it. Direct doctrinal parallel
1 Corinthians 3:6–9 — “I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase. … For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s farming, God’s building.” The agricultural metaphor for the word’s maturation — “pains are more than sun’s rays, that mature the fields, the fruits, the flowers” — is grounded in Paul’s understanding of suffering and co-labor as the preparatory action that co-operates with God’s gift. Direct doctrinal parallel
Habakkuk 2:3 — “For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hurries toward the end, and won’t prove false. Though it takes time, wait for it, because it will surely come. It won’t delay.” The divine word having its appointed kairos — requiring waiting, silence, and patient preparation before the moment of issuance. The “decorum of the manifestations of My Will” is the functional equivalent of Habakkuk’s “appointed time.” Affective/meditative
STAGE TWO — Comparison with Hogan’s Commentary
CORRESPONDENCES
- Psalm 22:17 — Hogan cites explicitly: “you will read about in Psalm 22, particularly verse 17” for the bones-counted and stripping passage. Stage One identified Psalm 22:17–18 and the broader Psalm 22 across Movements 2 and 3. The convergence on Psalm 22 as the primary Passion-reparation anchor is the strongest correspondence of this entry.
DEVIATIONS
- Movement 3 — Passion reparation: Hogan goes to Psalm 22:17 exclusively as the explicit citation for the stripping/bone-counting passage. Stage One supplies a fuller cluster — Isaiah 53:4–5, Lamentations 3:1–3, Romans 5:18–19 — attending to the systematic correspondence between the Passion’s specific elements and the human will’s specific deformations. Hogan reads the Passion primarily as reparation for the whole human race; Stage One reads it as a structured reparatory anatomy where each pain specifically targets a corresponding damage. These are complementary rather than competing angles.
ADDITIONS — MINE
- Philippians 2:6–8 — kenosis as the Incarnation’s deliberate voluntary constraint; entering the prison from the side of divine freedom to break it
- John 8:34–36 — the Son freeing those enslaved to the human will; the direct purpose stated by Jesus himself
- Isaiah 61:1 — liberty to the captives; opening of the prison; the Messiah’s liberating telos
- Galatians 4:4–5 — born of woman as the deliberate entry into the prison condition for the purchase of sonship
- Hebrews 2:14, 17 — entering the flesh-condition to destroy death’s power from within
- Romans 8:3 — condemning sin in the flesh by entering the flesh-condition
- 2 Corinthians 8:9 — voluntary impoverishment as the redemptive mechanism targeting soul-poverty
- Isaiah 1:3 — the ox and donkey knowing their Creator while man, reduced below beast-dignity, does not
- Genesis 1:26–27 — the original Image-dignity whose degradation the Nativity enters to repair
- Isaiah 53:4–5 — the systematic bearing of every evil produced by the human will
- Lamentations 3:1–3 — darkness without any light; the human-will condition recapitulated in the Passion
- Romans 5:18–19 — the structural reversal of Adam’s disobedience through the Son’s obedience
- John 1:1, 4 — the Word as inherent Life; speech-act as outgoing of constitutive identity
- John 6:63, 68 — words as spirit and life; Peter’s confession of eternal life in the words
- John 16:12–13 — withholding words when the hearer cannot bear them; the silence as discernment of readiness
- Isaiah 55:10–11 — the divine word requiring prepared ground; going out only when it will not return empty
- Matthew 13:3–9 — the sower parable; silence as withholding of seed until the soil is ready
- Hebrews 4:12 — the word inherently living and active; each utterance an outgoing of life
- 1 Corinthians 3:6–9 — suffering and co-labor as ground-preparation co-operating with God’s gift
- Habakkuk 2:3 — the vision awaiting its appointed time; the “decorum” of the manifestation
ADDITIONS — HERS
No significant additions. Hogan’s commentary for this entry is primarily pastoral paraphrase with one explicit citation (Psalm 22:17) and several implicit connections. Her central contribution is the pastoral restatement of the suffering-and-prayer maturation principle: “all that we have to struggle with, all that we have to suffer, all that we have to offer him, all our prayers, all our pains, everything matures the gift and makes it possible not only for ourselves to have it confirmed in us, but to dispose other people also to receive it.” The implicit scriptural background for this: Colossians 1:24; 2 Corinthians 4:17; Romans 8:28.
VIP / SPECIAL DESIGNATIONS
None. Hogan does not designate any portion of this entry with VIP language.
STAGE TWO SYNTHESIS
This is a structurally unified entry with two major movements. The first (Movements 1–3) is the most formally complete account in Volume 21 of the Incarnation-Nativity-Passion arc as a systematic reparatory response to the human will’s specific deformations: each stage of Christ’s life (womb-prison, stable-poverty, Passion-stripping) directly undoes a corresponding dimension of what the human will had done to man (prison-and-darkness, stable-and-manure, stripping-and-deformation). The second movement (Movement 4) is the CWD-1 / PHD-1 intersection: Jesus as the living Word whose every utterance is an outgoing of life, withheld until readiness is present, with pains and prayers as the maturing instruments. Stage One supplies the comprehensive scriptural substructure for both movements; Hogan contributes the pastoral restatement and the Psalm 22:17 anchor. Psalm 22 is the unifying thread across the entire entry — dereliction in Movement 1’s background, the beast-reduced worm in Movement 2, the stripping/bone-counting/mockery in Movement 3 — making it the Psalm most fully enacted by this entry’s Christological teaching.
Cross-Entry Synthesis
Volume 21 — April 14, 1927 “How Our Lord came upon earth to suffer all the evils that the human will had done. How the Word of Jesus is life.”
The Incarnation as Reparation for the Prison of the Human Will
The governing structural principle of the entry’s first movement is that every element of Christ’s life is the targeted reparation of a corresponding element of the human will’s damage. The Incarnation addresses the prison: the human will imprisoned man, took away his freedom of movement in God, took away his light and surrounded him with darkness — and Jesus enters the most narrow and dark prison possible (the womb where he cannot stretch out a hand or open his eyes) as the precise reparatory counterpart. This is not accidental poverty but strategic correspondence.
Stage One supplies the Christological and soteriological framework: Philippians 2:6–8 names this as the kenosis — the voluntary constraint of divine freedom to the womb’s limits; John 8:34–36 names the liberating purpose (the Son setting free those enslaved to the human will); Isaiah 61:1 names the Messiah’s mandate (opening the prison to those who are bound); Galatians 4:4–5 and Hebrews 2:14, 17 ground the mechanism (entering the enslaved condition to redeem from within). Hogan does not provide additional citations for this movement but reads it pastorally: everything in Christ’s life was in reparation for the whole human race, nothing accidental.
The convergence of Romans 8:3 and Hebrews 2:14 is worth holding: “condemning sin in the flesh by entering the flesh” (Romans) and “partaking of flesh and blood to destroy the power of death” (Hebrews) together articulate the inside-out mechanics of the prison-break. The freedom is not restored from outside by removing the prison walls but from inside by the Son’s entering and inhabiting every constraint the human will had imposed — and breaking each from within.
The Nativity as Reparation for the Stable and Manure Condition
The Nativity addresses the second dimension: the human will reduced man’s soul to a stable (passions as manure), numbed him with cold, degraded him toward bestiality. Jesus is born in extreme poverty, intense cold, the stench of manure, in the company of animals. The sorrow is explicitly stated: seeing two animals beside him, Jesus grieves that the human will has reduced “Our dear Image” — the creature made in God’s likeness — “almost into a beast.”
The Genesis 1:26–27 anchor is foundational here: the original Image-dignity makes the degradation a theological wound, not merely an anthropological one. God’s image has been deformed toward the beast; Jesus enters the stable with the animals precisely to repair this deformation. Isaiah 1:3’s ironic prophecy (the ox and donkey recognizing their Creator while Israel does not) becomes the Nativity’s shadow: man, reduced below the animals in self-knowledge and divine recognition, surrounded by the animals that retain their instinctual fidelity. 2 Corinthians 8:9 states the mechanism with maximum economy: he became poor so that by his poverty we might become rich.
The Passion as Reparation for the Stripping and Deformation
The Passion addresses the third dimension: the human will stripped man of all goods, covered him with confusion and opprobrium, deformed him as an object of mockery. Jesus is stripped, stretched, his bones counted, surrounded by mockery, abandonment, and unspeakable bitterness.
Psalm 22 is the unifying thread across all three movements and reaches its most explicit application here. Psalm 22:17–18 — bones counted, garments divided — Hogan identifies directly; Stage One extends the Psalm’s scope: the worm-not-a-man of verse 6, the mockery and wagging heads of verses 7–8, the dereliction of verse 1 together form the complete Passion-reparation arc. Isaiah 53:4–5 and Lamentations 3:1–3 complement from the prophetic tradition: the bearing of every specific evil (not a general suffering but a targeted bearing of each wound) is Isaiah 53’s operative principle, while Lamentations 3 gives the first-person voice of the creature living under the human will’s darkness — which the Passion recapitulates as reparation.
Romans 5:18–19 supplies the structural reversal: the one man’s disobedience-and-deformation answered by the one Son’s obedience-and-restoration, correspondence by correspondence. Jesus’s explicit instruction to “number My pains, one by one” is the reading protocol for this correspondence: not an undifferentiated suffering but a precisely articulated anatomy, each pain the entry point for breaking a specific dimension of the human will’s prison.
The Word of Jesus as Life — Silence, Pain, and Prayer Maturing the Gift
The entry’s second major movement pivots from the Incarnation-Passion arc to the present dynamics of Jesus’s relationship with Luisa and, through her, with all souls. The pivot is the doctrine: “whenever I speak, a life comes out of Me.” Every speech-act of Jesus is an outgoing of Life because he is the Word of Life — John 1:1, 4 and John 6:63, 68 are the governing anchors, both identifying his words as constitutively alive and life-giving.
The silence follows from the doctrine: if each word is a life placed in a creature, Jesus must discern whether the creature is disposed to receive it. John 16:12–13 is the direct parallel Jesus himself provides: “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.” The withholding is not reluctance but pastoral discernment — the seed is not sown on ground that will not receive it (Matthew 13). Isaiah 55:10–11 names the governing principle: the divine word does not return empty; therefore it goes out only when it will not return empty. Silence is the waiting form of fidelity to the word’s own nature.
The maturing mechanism is the most pastorally significant dimension: “these pains and these prayers mature the gift, and while they make Me open My mouth to issue the new life… they dispose creatures to receive It.” Stage One supplies the agricultural context — 1 Corinthians 3:6–9 (the co-laborers planting and watering while God gives the growth), the sower parable (Matthew 13) — and Habakkuk 2:3 (the vision awaiting its appointed time). Hogan makes the pastoral restatement most clearly: everything we struggle with, suffer, offer, and pray matures the gift not only in us but in others.
Synthesis
The dominant biblical imagination of this entry is the systematic correspondence between Christ’s sufferings and the human will’s deformations — not a general redemptive suffering but a precisely targeted reparatory anatomy, reading each stage of Christ’s life as the entry into and breaking of a corresponding dimension of the prison the human will had built. This is the most formally complete statement in Volume 21 of the SDR-1 principle: “there was not one pain that I suffered that did not have its origin in the human will, and I subjected Myself to everything in order to rehabilitate it once again in the Kingdom of the Supreme Fiat.” Every pain maps to a wound; every stage (womb, stable, Passion) maps to a dimension (prison/darkness, poverty/deformation, stripping/mockery).
The three most load-bearing findings are: first, the prison-break mechanics — the Son entering the most narrow and dark human condition from Conception to death as the inside-out liberation of those imprisoned by the human will, with Philippians 2, Hebrews 2, and John 8:34–36 as the Christological frame; second, Psalm 22 as the complete reparatory document, traversed from dereliction through worm-not-a-man through bones-counted to the proclamation of deliverance — the Psalm Jesus lives out precisely as reparation for what the human will made of man; and third, the CWD-1 / PHD-1 convergence in Movement 4: the word as life placed in creatures when readiness is discerned, with pains and prayers as the sun-rays that mature both the gift and the receptivity — silence not as absence but as the decorum of a word whose outgoing is always, in its nature, the greatest gift.
Observation Notes
See this note in volume context →
21-1927-04-14
SDR-1 — full-Incarnation-to-Passion-arc / all-pains-from-human-will / rehabilitation-toward-DW-Kingdom: “There was not one pain that I suffered that did not have its origin in the human will, and I subjected Myself to everything in order to rehabilitate it once again in the Kingdom of the Supreme Fiat.” Prior SDR-1 most recent: Infancy-sequential / each-stage-as-distinct-reparatory-act (January 1, 1927). That register named the Infancy sequence as a staged reparatory arc; this entry extends the same logic to the complete Incarnation-through-Passion arc as a single continuous reparatory action. Each stage — Conception (womb-prison), Nativity (stable-poverty), Passion (stripping-deformation) — is named as the direct reparatory counterpart of a specific dimension of the human will’s damage. The explicit teleological statement — “in order to rehabilitate it once again in the Kingdom of the Supreme Fiat” — is the most formally explicit SDR-1 framing of the Incarnation’s purpose in this volume. Register tag: full-Incarnation-to-Passion-arc / each-pain-from-human-will / complete-reparatory-correspondence.
PHW-1 — reparatory-anatomy / three-stage-mapping: The entry gives the most comprehensively structured PHW-1 account in the corpus through the lens of Christ’s reparatory response: the prison-and-darkness dimension (womb, immobility, no light), the stable-and-manure dimension (passions reduced to near-bestiality, poverty, cold), the stripping-and-deformation dimension (goods stripped, confusion and opprobrium, object of mockery). Each PHW-1 dimension is named precisely as the condition Christ entered. This is not a direct appearance of the prison imagery as such (not a new PHW-1 register independent of the Christological frame) but a reparatory-anatomy mapping of previously established PHW-1 registers onto the stages of Christ’s life. Notable as the most formally structured PHW-1 correspondence in the corpus.
CWD-1 — word-as-outgoing-life / most-formally-grounded: “Whenever I speak, a life comes out of Me — the greatest gift.” Prior CWD-1 most recent: knowledges-as-dowry-seal (February 16, 1927); each-word-contains-Creative-Power (February 9, 1927). This entry provides the theological grounding for both prior registers: not merely that each word contains creative power or forms a heaven, but that Jesus speaks as the Word of Life (John 1:1, 4; John 6:63, 68) and his every speech-act is therefore constitutively the outgoing of Life itself. Register tag: word-as-outgoing-of-Life / constitutively-not-instrumentally / Word-of-Life-identity.
