That's where it's fractal. That's what Jesus does for, you know, Exodus, for Genesis. I mean, what we're seeing is everything is a relation and a fulfillment of the previous rituals.
And also to be saved is the same thing as to be forgiven from sin in a way. So they're saved.
we need a human being to stand in if Jesus is standing in for sinners that he doesn't need but to show us the path. You need another human being with enough authority to baptize him, right?
Because I think so much of this is, you know, there's so much of the gospel is around doubt. You know, it's like, you know, you go back to with Exodus where Moses says, hang on one minute, Aaron, I'm just going up the mountain and just keep things under control. And then immediately out of sight, it's like...
And so it's again and again with the Gospels, all the way through Peter denying Christ three times. I mean, it's all the way through is the doubt and the disbelief even in the face of what is.
And so I think that these intimations are also a way of, like they sort of naturally build suspense from a narrative perspective, but they also are trying to move along at a pace that human comprehension can possibly keep up with.
And I think we're also looking at this tragedy, especially in comparison to, let's say, Abraham and Isaac, where his hand is stayed and he gets to keep his son. But the actual end of the Gospels is that the same thing happens with God. He gives his, you know, like in a way... No one stays his hand. Yeah, it goes all the way through, but then he has his son, and Mary also is reunited with her son.
I think in a lot of ways, and we've discussed this a little bit, the uncertainty or the lack of consistency across the stories actually makes them more believable.
And so if we were to reconstitute something from historical memory and every detail lines up, I mean, think about like a police investigation, right?
Right, a bunch of guys in a heist and they have all the details in place, you're not going to believe them. And so part of this is it's a historical reconstitution and memory works in different ways, story works in different ways, people are writing to different aims. They had access to different sources maybe, yeah.
Well, until the ministries start, and so... I think it's also carried through though inherently in the other gospels because if Jesus is Jesus, it's not like he has another father, meaning by dint of how the characters move and progress in the other gospels, this is the only conclusion of how the birth could have happened, or else it would be misaligned.
And if it's not, the other Gospels would have something to say about it. Or everything wouldn't proceed, and everybody around it wouldn't proceed as if that were the case.
It's tied in some ways, too, with him refusing to perform carnival treks when asked. Thank you. Right. I'm not going to show proof whether it's to Satan, whether it's to others. I'm not going to perform for, like these things need to progress in their own time.
It's also an answer for the undeniable. In a way, it's the reversal of the cone, right? If a tree falls in a forest and no one's there to hear it, does it make a sound? If the Son of God is born in a manger and there's only shepherds around, is he still the Son of God? The answer is yes.
And so it's like if you introduce it, it's almost like an enzyme. Like what's the state in which this action can be most fruitful? And so in a time when everything's filled with sin, he sends the flood. In a time when things have a level of stability and there needs to be foundations through which to... even to rise up to condemn him.
Because in utter chaos, you can't have so cleanly that the temple and the government, like every aspect of the culture fails him, so they have to be in place in order to render that judgment.
