[[Sacrifice]] is a notion totally [[unknown]] to [[God]]. It arises solely from [[fear]], and frightened people can be vicious. Sacrificing in any way is a violation of my injunction that you should be [[merciful]] even as y[[our Father]] in Heaven is merciful. It has been hard for many [[Christians]] to realize that this applies to themselves. Good [[teachers]] never [[terrorize]] their [[students]]. To terrorize is to [[attack]], and this results in [[rejection]] of what the teacher offers. The result is learning [[failure]].

I have been correctly referred to as "the lamb of God who taketh away the sins of the world," [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_john#Chapter_1] but those who represent the lamb as blood-stained do not understand the [[meaning]] of the [[symbol]]. Correctly understood, it is a very simple symbol that speaks of my [[innocence]]. The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Hicks lion and the lamb] lying down together symbolize that [[strength]] and [[innocence]] are not in [[conflict]], but naturally live in [[peace]]. "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God" [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Matthew#Chapter_5 ] is another way of saying the same thing. A [[pure mind]] knows the [[truth]] and this is its strength. It does not [[confuse]] destruction with innocence because it associates innocence with strength, not with [[weakness]].

[[Innocence]] is incapable of sacrificing anything, because the innocent [[mind]] has [[everything]] and strives only to protect its [[wholeness]]. It cannot [[project]]. It can only [[honor]] other minds, because honor is the natural greeting of the truly loved to others who are like them. The lamb "taketh away the sins of the world" in the sense that the state of [[innocence]], or [[grace]], is one in which the [[meaning]] of the [[Atonement]] is perfectly apparent. The Atonement is entirely unambiguous. It is perfectly clear because it exists in [[light]]. Only the attempts to shroud it in [[darkness]] have made it inaccessible to those who do not [[choose]] to see.
