Jesus Is the Criterion for Christian Claims About Victory
Seed — an idea to develop
Christian claims about power, salvation, and the future should be judged by Jesus. The cross exposes the difference between imperial peace and the kingdom of God: Jesus enters solidarity with victims, bears violence, and refuses domination as the mode of victory. Resurrection then declares that death—not our capacity to secure ourselves—is not the final word.
