Jesus demonstrated that non-literal narrative can convey truth more effectively than bare factual reporting. The Anthropology of Light extends this recognition across biblical genres.

Grace as thermodynamic patience? Reality doesn't punish every misstep with immediate collapse. There's buffer, resilience, time to learn and correct. The sun doesn't instantly explode if one fusion reaction goes slightly wrong.

Perhaps Jesus is saying: Focus less on personal continuity and more on alignment with patterns that propagate life. That's the "resurrection" that matters - becoming part of something deathless by embodying reality's creative character.
