Specialness is the function that you gave yourself. It stands for you alone, as self-created, self-maintained, in need of nothing, and unjoined with anything beyond the body.

Choose, then, his body or his holiness as what you want to see, and which you choose is yours to look upon.

Yet will you choose in countless situations, and through time that seems to have no end, until the truth be your decision.

For eternity is not regained by still one more denial of Christ in him.

And where is your salvation, if he is but a body?

Where is your peace but in his holiness?

And where is God Himself but in that part of Him He set forever in your brother's holiness, that you might see the truth about yourself, set forth at last in terms you recognized and understood?
