Our God is the God who forgave us even though we tortured and killed him. This is the detail of consequence. Jesus released this detail into the Valley of Tears on the road from the Crucifixion to the Resurrection. First, restore this detail to its position of prominence in the showcase of Christianity. Only thereafter, promote the tangents of Christianity - pursue the red herrings down the dead ends - elevate the minutiae of Christianity. We have buried the revelation about God that Jesus released into the Valley of Tears on the road from the Crucifixion to the Resurrection in a pile of little things that do not matter. We have lost our way.

The showcase of Christianity is the road from the Crucifixion to the Resurrection. We made a contribution to the showcase and so did Jesus. We put torture, suffering, killing and death into the showcase. Thankfully, he did not answer the evil that we did to him in kind. He did not give us a taste of our own medicine. His answer to the evil that we did to him was asymmetric - radically asymmetric. Into the position of prominence in the showcase of Christianity, Jesus put forgiveness. Forgiveness is the vehicle that Jesus used to convey to us the nature of God. To know forgiveness is to know God. Do you know your God? The wise anchor their understanding of God to the bombshell of revelation that exploded when Jesus and the evil that we did to him met in violent collision on the road from the Crucifixion to the Resurrection. To what do you anchor your understanding of God?
