Z-Life comes from A-faith

5/22/2026

“The insults of those who have insulted you have fallen on me.” Romans 15

“Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.”

That is the Jesus-attitude for us: to embrace when skandalon comes. And it is an honor that He has chosen us to experience scandal/skandalon because it points to the only Way to get a mere mammal flesh onto the Z axis1, instead of forever scurrying around like rodents back-and-forth, or zoning out with diversions, on the XY axis. It’s a gift to be pressed past our limits because it is the only way to Fly. Do we turn towards Jesus and humble ourselves and trust in faith, letting go because we trust His character and wisdom outside of time and matter more than we trust our observations? We don’t want to be gods knowing good and evil. We trust His love. If He gave His only Son, then how much more all things... Be still and know that I Am God. The battle is the Lord’s. Stand still and see the deliverance the Lord will bring. “But if not?” Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, Esther, Job, Daniel. So be it. He knows best, and He loves me. End of story.

This is called Faith. He is more trustworthy than our lives, or power, or understanding. If He gave His only Son, how much more all things? Settled.

Z-Life comes from A-faith. The faith of Abraham is the doorway to DNA change and being sons of Abraham, sons of God.

1In this conversation, the XY-axis versus the Z-axis is being used as an illustration of the difference between eating from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil vs. eating of the Tree of Life. XY-axis living is a “flat,” natural living of good vs. evil. Z-axis is a supernatural Zoe life in Jesus. Back
