What happens when Rome’s ultimate tool of empire to quash rebellion is used on Jesus?
Our sin and brokenness, our penchant for blood and retribution and violence, are nailed to the cross with Christ.
On the cross, Jesus neither plays the victim nor creates victims.
Jesus shows another way of life, even in death.
Behold the life-giving cross.
God takes our instruments of death and forms them into instruments of new life. Even on the cross Jesus shows another way of life. Hope abides. Love abides. Forgiveness continues. New Life remains.
