THE ESSENCE SELF-GIVING
In self-giving, if anywhere, we touch a rhythm not only of all creation but of all being. For the Eternal Word also gives Himself in sacrifice; and that not only on Calvary . . . From before the foundation of the world He surrenders begotten Deity back to begetting Deity in obedience . . . From the highest to the lowest, self exists to be abdicated and, by that abdication, becomes the more truly self . . . What is outside the system of self-giving is . . . Hell. C. S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain, chapter 10, pp. 152-153
