Christ Crucified
As all of our participants in “Church@Home” are aware, we “proclaim Christ crucified“ which is foolishness to the Greeks and a stumbling block for the Jews. What we see and hear in Christ crucified his sacrificial love. Several of the participants in “Church@Home” mentioned to me this week that The second question of the three post by the “Church@Home” discussion guide was a stumbling block for the members of the group.
That second question introduced the notion of sacrifice, the pouring out or the sharing of the self for the sake of love. God does it in Creation, the Word shows it by the incarnation, Jesus perfects it in the crucifixion, we are incorporated into it by baptism, we enter into it in the Eucharistic liturgy, and we live it in charity.
This is the mystery of our faith. It’s crazy!
