The Paradox of Good Friday

Today's Breakpoint about Good Friday points to its paradoxical nature. Colson quotes G.K. Chesterton that a paradox "... is truth standing on its head to get our attention." The paradox is, of course, that God found mankind guilty as charged and then sentenced Himself to death for the crimes. You cannot stand truth on its head any more than that. Justice was served, but mercy triumphed. Have mercy, O Lord, for putting you there.
