Jesus’ teachings and life show us what God is like and and how we are called to live. One of the most challenging things about this is that Jesus does not turn away from a path that leads to his death on the cross. God’s life is not spared from knowing the loss, injustice and suffering we all face in the world. In Jesus, God shares our tears, knows our pain and bears the ill we do one to another here in this world and in so doing brings healing and freedom.
For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
1 Corinthians 1:18
