The conversation between the Crucifixion and the Resurrection is the foundation on which the edifice of Christianity is built (Psalm 118:22). The edifice of Christianity collapses only when Christians try to build it on a different foundation. As long as Christianity stands on the conversation between the Crucifixion and the Resurrection, the gates of hell will not prevail against it (Matthew 16:17-18).
A beautiful, symbiotic dance of question and answer weaved its way through his bloody wounds to bind the Crucifixion and the Resurrection together into the conversation. Are you privy to the conversation?
"Who are you, Jesus? Identify yourself! Friend or foe?" Jesus answered our question (Luke 23:34) on the road from the Crucifixion to the Resurrection. Our God is the God who forgave us for the evil that we did to him. Wow! The brutality of the Crucifixion makes the intransigence of his love for us extraordinary.
And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand. (Mark 3:25)
