Jesus as the original man (red man) who volunteered to be the sacrificial lamb (compensation) for mankind (man) because of man's fallen nature (possession). He is the Son of God (praise of God) who came down to earth (descent) to be sacrificed (dedicated) through crucifixion (man of the dart). After that He rose from the dead (powerful) and gave hope (rest) to mankind.
If this is story is what it's meant to be, pray what would "name", "hot" and "opened" speak of?
