[scoobydoodean]

Look—I get it. Cas is still devout. In 4.07, he prayed to God that Dean would choose to save the town. He says, “These people. They’re my father’s creations. They’re works of art.” In 4.16, Anna starts to get through to him by asking, “The father you love. You think he would ask this of you? That this is righteous?” (By which she means, having Dean torture someone for them). When he’s losing to Uriel, Cas says, “You can't win, Uriel. I still serve God.” He thinks he can’t lose, because he’s serving a loving God who’s watching out for him. Anna shows up and saves him, and then after Raphael blows him up, he gets brought back to life! It bolsters his confidence that God is out there watching and loves and supports him! And he thinks using The Colt to try and kill Satan is stupid (Dean actually said the same thing the previous episode after suggesting it to try and bolster Bobby’s spirits). So Cas is thinking ���Well here’s a REAL plan!!” In Cas’s eyes, it’s completely reasonable to expect God to do something if God already helped them all! So when Dean repeats the same narrative Uriel had and Zacharah had and basically says, “Buddy, your dad is a fucking deadbeat”… Cas is mad! That’s his absent father Dean is talking about there!

But as for the blaming and arguing and saying all of this is Dean’s fault for convincing him to follow his doubts and convictions (4.07, 4.16, 4.18, 4.20) and do the right thing…?

You know who whines? Babies.

Today you will be baptized a Christian. All those great ancient words of the Christian proclamation will be spoken over you, and the command of Jesus Christ to baptize will be carried out on you, without your knowing anything about it. But we are once again being driven right back to the beginnings of our understanding. Reconciliation and redemption, regeneration and the Holy Spirit, love of our enemies, cross and resurrection, life in Christ and Christian discipleship – all these things are so difficult and so remote that we hardly venture any more to speak of them. In the traditional words and acts we suspect that there may be something quite new and revolutionary, though we cannot as yet grasp or express it. That is our own fault. Our church, which has been fighting in these years only for its self-preservation, as though that were an end in itself, is incapable of taking the word of reconciliation and redemption to mankind and the world. Our earlier words are therefore bound to lose their force and cease, and our being Christians today will be limited to two things: prayer and righteous action among men. All Christian thinking, speaking, and organizing must be born anew out of this prayer and action. By the time you have grown up, the church’s form will have changed greatly. We are not yet out of the melting-pot, and any attempt to help the church prematurely to a new expansion of its organization will merely delay its conversion and purification. It is not for us to prophesy the day (though the day will come) when men will once more be called so to utter the word of God that the world will be changed and renewed by it. It will be a new language, perhaps quite non-religious, but liberating and redeeming – as was Jesus’ language; it will shock people and yet overcome them by its power; it will be the language of a new righteousness and truth, proclaiming God’s peace with men and the coming of his kingdom. ‘They shall fear and tremble because of all the good and all the prosperity I provide for it’ (Jer. 33.9). Till then the Christian cause will be a silent and hidden affair, but there will be those who pray and do right and wait for God’s own time. May you be one of them, and may it be said of you one day, ‘The path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter till full day’(Prov. 4.18).

Jesus makes the Invisible, Visible!

bible.com/bible/100/2co.4.18.NASB1995 things which are seen … not seen. Endurance is based on a person’s ability to look beyond the physical to the spiritual; beyond the present to the future, and beyond the visible to the invisible. Believers must look past what is temporary—what is perishing (i.e., the things of the world). things … not seen are eternal. Pursuing God, Christ, the Holy Spirit,…
