The Ultimate Horror
Jesus'
death, the ultimate horror of all history, for your sins. If you
can
face
that, then there is nothing you cannot face, nothing you have to shut
out or
pretend isn't there in all the hideous, twisted evil we can
see about
us.
There is no misery that goes deeper than the Cross. The Crucified
One
is
there and deeper down still. Everything that would destroy us Jesus has
faced,
and it did not destroy Him nor does it destroy those who are His.
Dr. Norman
Nagel, Selected Sermons, p. 231
