We don’t recognize, nor did the people of Jesus’ time, that the execution by crucifixion of a relatively unknown man by the governor of a Roman province on trumped up charges was when and how the Universe, the entire Cosmos, was healed.

I like my epic battles to be big and sweeping – like in the cinema – with lots of special effects… like in Star Wars or in a Marvel Action Movie. 

But it turns out that the most important thing that has happened in the whole story of the Universe happened with out anyone noticing…

Well… except a few faithful friends and a larger number of women who refused to desert Jesus.

It’s a deep spiritual truth that God fights for us in this manner, and not in the great cinematographic ways that we want to insist upon.

Reality is bent by God’s action in small experiences, not grand ones.
