 ** 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". The path of faith. Faith is not a rigid
+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.
