The wise anchor their understanding of God to the revelation that Jesus released into the Valley of Tears on the road from the Crucifixion to the Resurrection (Matthew 7:24-27). The revelation erupted from the violent collision that took place between Jesus and the evil that we did to him there. We tortured and killed him. He forgave us.
P.S. The body and blood of the most Holy Eucharist is a recreation of the dramatic demonstration of divinity that took place on the road from the Crucifixion to the Resurrection.
Jesus gave a faceless God a face on the road from the Crucifixion to the Resurrection. On the road from the Crucifixion to the Resurrection, Jesus showed us the face of forgiveness. Our God is the God who forgave us for the evil that we did to him. The brutality of the Crucifixion makes the intransigence of his love extraordinary.
Can you pinpoint the location where Jesus deposited the answer to the question, ‘Who is God?”?
Whenever you fall into confusion - whenever you become disoriented - whenever you lose your way - whenever your understanding of God becomes cloudy, find your footing on the road from the Crucifixion to the Resurrection. Stability in our understanding of God is found on the road from the Crucifixion to the Resurrection. Regain your balance by returning to the foundation upon which the edifice of Christianity is built. Return to the rock that the builders rejected (Matthew 21:42) .
