What question is God trying to answer by giving us a crucified man for a God? What human problem is God trying to reveal and from what is God trying to save us on the cross? We’ve always said that Jesus was trying to save us from our sin and, of course, that’s exactly right. As Paul says, Jesus “became sin” to free us from our sin (Romans 8:3–8). What then is our “sin”? I think it might be called “ignorant killing.”
