1406: To see Christ, to Christians

To understand the core Christian point of view,

what Christianity is, to them,

who Christ is, for them,

when they speak of Christ being killed,

and asking who are individuals culpable for this,

who is responsible,

imagine them speaking this,

not to you,

but into a mirror,

human sin makes the Passion necessary, to them.

It’s in all the language:

“My Saviour.”

“Theosis.”

“Our Lord and Saviour.”

“Propitiation.”

“Our Lord Jesus Christ.”

“Expiation.”

“Our Lord and Savior.”

“Atonement.”

“My Redeemer.”

“Sanctification.”

“My Shepherd.”

“Repentance.”

“Redemption.”

“New Creation.”

“Agnus Dei.”

“Paschal Mystery.”

“Absolution.”

“Suffering Servant.”

“Kyrie eleison.”

“Lamb of God.”

“King of kings.”

“Lord of lords.”

“Great High Priest.”

“Light of the World.”
