Because Jesus suffered as a victim of ambitious power hiding behind a facade of legitimacy, all victims of ambitious power are now brought into the light. Christ has become their champion. Christ has forever altered the way the world looks at those victimized by the ambitious and powerful. The post-Easter world has come to have an instinctual empathy for the victim. This is something new. This is a phenomenon that never existed before the world began to see the face of Christ in the face of nameless victims.
