The early Christian record is not what we should expect from the human weakness to exploit the truth to serve one’s own ends.

While God the Father did not will the death of the Son, we can still ask why the Father permitted it. The answer lies in the act of our creation.

At the beginning of his Passion, Jesus bears witness to the truth as he allows himself to be proclaimed the messiah.

Christ goes to his death insisting that his life has meaning. When and how he will die can be left to speculation but not so why he dies.

If you think you’ve got him, you don’t. Indeed, you don’t have him until he has you!

As creatures of time and space, we acknowledge the God who fills both by setting aside, sanctifying some of each for God.
