From the previously shared article:
“Jesus’ cross is an invitation not a payment; insofar as it functions as a “payment,” its purpose is to invite us to stop justifying our sins and enter into honest, authentic communion with God. We are invited to join Jesus in the poverty of his cruciform death and resurrection. To embrace Jesus’ cross in its full poverty and ugliness as the means of our salvation involves recognizing that the capitalist ideology Jerry Falwell, Jr. espouses is a core part of the sinful world that we need to be saved from.”
