QUOTE : Power can fence us in, but only sacrificial love can find us out. Power can win when we are ranged against it, but it cannot win us. Such is the hard, tenacious, willful, festering core of sin at the heart of each one of us that only the equally deliberate, tenacious love disguised in the absurd powerlessness, shame, pain, loneliness and desolation of the cross—all for us—could reach us and subvert us. There was no other way. It takes the full folly and weakness of the cross to find us out and win us back.
