That ethic is something that enraged Nietzsche who understood it and rejected it. If we find our lives by losing our lives, then our ethic becomes upside down, and the cross becomes the paradigm for normative behavior, and winning becomes a stranger as we accustom ourselves to defeat. Indeed, the dying life becomes the Christian ethic, and the resurrection becomes the glasses. For we look beyond the present evil age of suffering, and we behold the new heavens and the new earth, and we see Jesus raised from the dead seated in glory, and we see the coming together of Heaven and Earth in one realm wherein righteousness dwells (and we there with it). The only name I know for this dying ethic is Jesus. <a href="http://www.MrRives.com/Gezer" rel="nofollow">Steve</a> The ethic of the cross is this: bless those who curse, pray for your enemy, if you are forced to go one mile, go two.
