The Irony of the Cross

“God confronts us with pain and suffering because He desires to reveal His goodness to us. But the goodness of God will not be validated by any attempt to prove it apart from faith. We experience His goodness only through the revelation of His glory. And the supreme picture of His glory can be seen only through the irony of the Cross. Through this irony, God compels us to look at Him with wide-eyed wonder.”
