It is only when we look to the Eucharist, to the cross, to the death and Resurrection of Jesus, that sin is revealed to us. Perhaps this explains why Christianity speaks so much about sin: it is in fact only through Christ that sin is truly revealed. Before he came, one could tell oneself that things were not really so bad; at any rate, the full dimensions of the reality called sin were not yet known. It is only the cross that discloses the full weight of sin. My sin cost God his life—the sin of us all, the sin of the world, the whole weight of sin that the Lamb of God took upon himself. |
