The Drama of Redemption
“With one sacrifice he made perfect forever those who are being made holy.” Hebrews 10:14
We would have scripted the moment differently. Ask us how a God should redeem his world, and we will show you! White horses, flashing swords. Evil flat on his back. God on his throne.
But God on a cross?
A split-lipped, puffy-eyed, blood-masked God on a cross?
Sponge thrust in his face? Spear plunged in his side? Dice tossed at his feet?
No, we wouldn’t have written the drama of redemption this way. But, then again, we weren’t asked to. These players and props were heaven picked and God ordained. We were not asked to design the hour.
But we have been asked to respond to it.
