The outrageous cross | Louis Kotzé

The cross is more than a symbol – it’s a diagnosis and a cure. It’s not just where Jesus died; it’s where our deepest wounds and sins are exposed and where healing begins. On Good Friday, we reflect on the outrageous truth of the cross: 💔 That Jesus – both physician and medicine (as Saint Augustine said) – chose the path of suffering to heal and restore us and all of creation. 📖 1 Peter 2 tells us: “… by his wounds, you have been healed.” The cross comforts and confronts. It reveals the sickness of our sin and the power of God’s love. It calls out injustice, pride, and brokenness – and restores our relationships with God, one another, and even the earth. 📍Crucified like a criminal outside the city, Jesus stood with the outcast, the poor, and the forgotten. Good Friday reminds us that salvation came from the margins, and no one is left out of His redemptive story. Join us as we journey to the foot of the outrageous cross – where death became life, pain birthed healing, and the world was turned upside down. 🔔 Subscribe & Share
