SHOUT OF GOD
"To some, the image of a pale body glimmering on a dark night whispers of defeat.
What good is a God who does not control his Son's suffering?
But another sound can be heard:
the shout of a God crying out to human beings, "I LOVE YOU."
Love was compressed for all history in that lonely figure on the cross,
who said that he could call down angels at any moment on a rescue mission,
but chose not to - because of us.
At Calvary, God accepted his own unbreakable terms of justice.
Any discussion of how pain and suffering fit into God's scheme
ultimately leads back to the cross. "
Philip Yancey
