With the craziness of having a baby over Easter weekend I didn't get a chance to offer some reflections about the cross and the empty tomb. I reread a quote from Jurgen Moltmann a few weeks ago that has stuck with me through the last part of Lent and Holy Week.
The death of Jesus on the cross is the centre of all Christian theology. It is not the only theme of theology, but it is in effect the entry to its problems and answers on earth. All Christian statements about God, about creation, about sin and death have their focal point in the crucified Christ. All Christian statements about history, about the church, about faith and sanctification, about the future and about hope stem from the crucified Christ.
The Crucified God
