OPINION: What's so good about Good Friday?
of Calvary is that the one suffering didn’t have it coming.
And then comes Christ who embraces his agony, drinking it down to the dregs. One text puts it that not only does he embrace it, but saw it as a mission and a goal:"for the joy set before him [he] endured the cross, scorning its shame…" .Here this righteous one understands his agony to have meaning and purpose. What distinguishes human from animal suffering is that only the human has the capacity to ask why.
It is almost as though Plato could foresee this dynamic of innocence thought to be unrighteous who would ‘…be scourged, tortured, bound... and at last, after suffering every evil, …be crucified' though eventually being vindicated . This vindication validates the whole of his message., but the structure of human reality, that tells us the way purposeful sacrifice and even suffering, willingly undertaken, can bring redemption.
