God has chosen to save the world through the cross, through the shameful and
powerless death of the crucified Messiah. If that shocking event is the
revelation of the deepest truth about the character of God, then our whole way
of seeing the world is turned upside downâ€¦ all values are transformedâ€¦ God
refuses to play games of power and prestige on human terms.
