God took the initiative to offer his Son on the cross in order to do something we could never do: save ourselves. Jesus took the punishment we deserved and became the instrument of atonement for our guilt to the Father. We are forgiven because of his suffering and death. This is why, for Catholics and Orthodox Christians, the crucifix, in all its brutality, is the most powerful image of God’s love and concern for each of us.
