Opening

I'm ready to help rewrite the paragraph. However, I don't see the paragraph text that needs to be rewritten. You've provided the chapter heading "Opening" and what appears to be a reference "(For 350.)" but no actual paragraph content.

Could you please provide the paragraph you'd like me to rewrite?

(For 350.)

Where our Lord Jesus Christ, who took it upon himself to die for everyone, stretched out his hands—not somewhere on the earth below, but in the air itself—so that the salvation accomplished by the Cross might be shown to be for all people everywhere: destroying the devil who was working in the air, and so that he might consecrate our path up to heaven and make it free.

Where our Lord Jesus Christ, who took upon Him to die for all, stretched forth His hands, not somewhere on the earth beneath, but in the air itself, in order that the Salvation effected by the Cross might be shown to be for all men everywhere: destroying the devil who was working in the air: and that He might consecrate our road up to Heaven, and make it free.
