In the center of this painting is an image of Durer’s Dead Christ. He is roaring! To break curse calls for the thunder of his voice, his voice! Job 26. Under it is a construction diagram explaining how to “plum, to make straight or justify” a building. And above is a figure of the risen One who laid down his life and has taken it up again. 
“Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it up again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down on my own initiative. I have the authority to lay it down and I have the authority to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.” John 10:17-18
The title is taken from Suzanne’s Rhodes book by the same name.
