“We are…Wounded” - Episode 8, the final episode in the series, "Identity and Idolatry"

Patrick and Jonah conclude the ”Identity and Idolatry” series by looking at two contrasting pictures of fulfilled identity, the Wounded Lamb (Rev 5)  and the Wounded Beast (Rev 13). Human beings have each of these potentialities within us. Our wounds lead us towards the lamb path or the beast path. Moment to moment we can choose who we align ourselves with—who we serve. It is a continual process to refine our powers of discernment: what are the forces acting in and upon us? As we gradually become more Lamb-like, we find the joy that comes in freely pouring ourselves out in devotional offering, and thereby we join a choir of worshippers, singing a song of praise and thanksgiving (Rev 5: 11-14).
