Important, But Paraphrased


Here are two important theological insights. However, I can't remember who wrote them. And they are my paraphrases.

In accepting the cross Christ renounced the claim to govern history. This reminds of something Lesslie Newbigin wrote. He said that the cross is evidence of God's sensitivity toward human freedom.

And:
Death was unable to close the door on Jesus and relegate him to the past.
