** The cross ...** | ** The cross ...** | ||
+ | The cross of Christ Jesus is the point in world history where deep love meets full justice. | ||
+ | Here, we experience what we need. Our sense of destruction is satisfied. You might call it human. | ||
+ | You might analyse it to be necessary for God. Theologians have thought a lot about it. But | ||
+ | as Christians and Christian writers we talk about the salvation, forgiveness and justice | ||
+ | which can be found in the cross - as a matter of fact. | ||
+ | It is good that justice comes. It is good that justice is not left aside. It is very good | ||
+ | that our own feelings, our wounds, all the points and issues where we have been hurt deeply, | ||
+ | are brought to a conclusion. It is good that it is clarified that all this is not ok. Also, | ||
+ | our own behaviour, where we hurt others, is not ok. No, it is not! | ||
+ | There is a path for us. The path "in Christ" | ||
+ | system of rules to obey. Faith is an open hand of God, who wants to come into my life. He is | ||
+ | the great creator, eternal love. He generates justice, and he knows all my failures anyway. | ||
+ | But he did all what is needed for me, to come to him in faith in Christ Jesus. There is | ||
+ | good news about justice: it comes, cannot be avoided. And in Jesus, full justice already | ||
+ | came. It is there, for me and for you, today and tomorrow and for eternity. | ||
