For Good Friday--April 18, 2025
"...he was numbered among the transgressors..." (Isaiah 53:12)
For whatever else it means, the cross of Christ signifies God’s choice to befriend all who are unjustly accused and wrongly detained, but also to be counted among all the guilty and even those rightly accused, which is to say, with all of us sinners.
At the cross, God takes on every power, from human empires and cowardly authorities to the pull of sin and the grip of death.
The Crucified God defies all of these, in order to say “Yes” to us all.
