If we allow the words of Christ to frame our picture of God, we must accept that God is just like Jesus, full of love, compassion, mercy, who was never angry or vengeful toward sinners, but who was crying with them, healing them and offering them a place in the kingdom next to Him and the Father.
Agnus Dei
He who hung the earth in place is hanged.
He who fixed the heavens in place is fixed in place.
He who made all things fast is made fast on a tree.
The Sovereign is insulted.
God is murdered.
Immanuel
Christ makes the logical things of this world illogical, and the crazy things are what His kingdom is all about. Earthly kings come with pomp, majesty and power; violence, conquest and death to enemies. The heavenly King came with humbleness, meekness and helplessness; freedom, peace and love to enemies.
