The Law of the Reciprical Intensification of the "Yes" and the "No"

I thought the responses to the Nativity Scene were interesting. A Von Balthasar observation via Gil Bailie is in order:

"There is an ever-intensifying "No" to the "Yes" uttered by God in Christ"

Von B calls this the "Law of the reciprical intensification of the 'Yes' and the 'No'"

However, Bailie makes the point that we should have compassion for those with the role of the "No". It isnt a very good role. He also says that "There's no reason why they got stuck with that role and we got stuck with the good one". We need to realize that on our bad days, we can be on the side of the "No". There is a peice of the "world", ruled by Satan, in each of us. But hearing the world's "No" can make us "reach down into that inexhaustible treasury of Christian resource and pull up a "Yes" that is big enough to encompass the 'No'...and convert as much of it as possible". Engaging the "No" can make our "Yes" sharper and more penetrating. This is drama.
