> institutional injustice, betrayal of friends, denial, unspeakable cruelty,
> scapegoating, and fear. In other words, all of our dysfunction is revealed
> on that cross. In the light of the cross, no one can say the popular
> philosophy of our times, "I’m okay, and you’re okay." This is why we speak
> of the cross as God’s judgment on the world.*
