1 | All Things | Rom 9:26 | DocTrinsograce | 234395 | ||
"If the cross of Christ, the most evil act in human history, can be in line with God’s will and be the source of the decisive defeat of the very evil that caused it, then any other evil can also be subverted to the cause of good. "More than that, if the death of Christ is mysteriously a blessing, then any evil that the believer experiences can be a blessing too. Yes, the curse is reversed; yes, blessings will flow; but who declared that these blessings have to be in accordance with the aspirations and expectations of affluent America? The lesson of the cross for Luther is that the most blessed person upon earth, Jesus Christ Himself, was revealed as blessed precisely in His suffering and death. And if that is the way that God deals with His beloved son, have those who are united to Him by faith any right to expect anything different? "...in the moment of the cross, it becomes clear that evil is utterly subverted for good. Romans 8:28 is true because of the cross of Christ: if God can take the greatest of evils and turn it to the greatest of goods, then how much more can He take the lesser evils which litter human history, from individual tragedies to international disasters, and turn them to his good purpose as well." --Warren Cruz, Luther's Theology of the Cross |
