There at the cross, we see all pain and darkness conquered in such a way that it is defeated forever. Not by disregarding it. Not by denying it. But by giving value even to our tears. By loving everything about us, including our very worst hurts.

About This Quote

This statement is a quote from the movie, “The Passion of the Christ.” It speaks to the power of redemption. When Jesus was on the cross, he showed us how to suffer for our sins and love even God’s greatest insults. This quote is speaking about the pain that we feel when we are hurt or betrayed by another person. We may feel that something has been defeated but it is not really defeated. The hurt still exists in our hearts but it is no longer able to do us any harm because of the love that brought us through it.
