““Jesus himself does not speak of his death this way. Jesus doesn’t say that God is angry, or that he is paying the price for our sin. When he predicts his death to his disciples, he tells them he must undergo suffering and be betrayed at the hands of humans. He doesn’t speak of the cross as something to be settled between him and God, but something to be endured between him and humanity. Jesus experiences God-forsakenness not because of God but for us, so that no part of our human experience, even the most death-determined parts, would remain untouched by his resurrected life. Jesus entered into our suffering and death not to pay a price but to make a way. And that way leads us to whole, redeemed, abundant life.””
![“His[Jesus'] death on the Cross is the culmination of that turning of God against himself in which he gives himself in order to raise man up and save him. This is love in its most radical form.” quote by Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/9e6/pope-emeritus-benedict-xvi-103_christianity_his-jesus-death-on-the-cross-is-the-culm_1055244.jpg)
