“The male you could have escaped, for it exists only on the biological level. But the masculine none of us can escape. What is above and beyond all things is so masculine that we are all feminine in relation to it. You had better agree with your adversary quickly.”
“You mean I shall have to become a Christian?” said Jane.
“It looks like it,” said the Director.
-- C.S. Lewis, That Hideous Strength
You can hide from men, but not from masculinity. You can insulate yourself from mankind, but not from manliness. The hands that hold the world are masculine. The One who made everything is Authoritative. He is all initiative. He is Sovereign and the source of all responsibility.
The hands that hold the world are Christian. They became flesh in order to be pierced. The Masculine made flesh remade the world and all power everywhere is entirely His.
Matthew 28:18-20
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
We best do what He says and tell others to do the same... and the sooner, the better.
