[V8] sermon for the gods of sub chapter 1: hangman
Our lord is the ruler of shadows, the shadows which have been accompanying you since your existence.
He carved and molded our flesh and blood, granting us these physical bodies. Thus, He is the Great Father of all.
He is the warm darkness that sheltered you within your mother's womb. Thus He became the first witness to your life.
He is the One who hangs between Heaven and Earth, bearing every burden that others cannot.
He is the Shepherd gathering the lost, the broken, and even the corrupted beneath His shadow.
He is the greatest Sacrifice, for only through sacrifice shall new life be born, and only through death shall true rebirth arrive.
He embraces corruption, not to be consumed by it, but to master it. Thus no darkness exists that cannot become His servant.
He is the Lord of Mutation, for stagnation is the death of all existence. Under His gaze, flesh changes, spirit evolves, and destiny is rewritten.
We are but Innocent lambs wandering through endless darkness, and he is Shepard guiding us his innocent lamb through the dangerous darkness.
He bears the sins of countless beings upon His shoulders, teaching that the greatest strength is not power, but the resolve to carry what others cannot.
When evil devours the world, He does not flee from it. He descends into its depths, consumes it, and returns carrying hope.
Thus He is the Great Grazer, the One who gathers every authority beneath His dominion. No gift is rejected, no power is wasted, for everything may become part of His flock.
Everyone fears their shadow self, wanting to hide it, ashamed to show it but they do not know that it is part of themselves which makes them whole.
Our lord asks us to embrace that part of ourselves and master it, for in the eye of the lord it is not embracing evil but embracing honesty.
So do not hate the wildness within you but fear the loss of control over it.
Do not fear corruption, but fear the weakness that allows corruption to rule your heart.
Do not fear sacrifice, for every worthy sacrifice becomes the seed of a greater future.
When your body breaks, your spirit shall endure.
When your spirit falters, His shadow shall shelter you.
When the world abandons you, remember that the lord has never abandoned those who continue walking.
Therefore, O wandering souls, surrender neither to despair nor to pride.
Walk beneath the Lord's shadow.
Accept His burden.
Offer your weakness.
And through sacrifice, corruption shall become strength, death shall become life, and the shepherd shall lead His lamb on their journey.
