The weakness of God becomes strong in the response we make to the event, rather the way that Bonhoeffer called for a “mature” and “religionless” Christianity made mature by human beings who are not waiting for a God to save them; in the way that Kierkegaard said that the name of God is the name of a deed; and in the way that Walter Benjamin said that we are the messianic generation, the ones that the dead are waiting for to bring them redemption. The call is only made manifest in the response that is made to it. The response is what exists and bears the only witness we have to what insists.
