After his royal entrance into Jerusalem, Jesus ascends his paradoxical throne, the cross, which reveals the nature of his kingdom, based on God’s forgiveness and sacrificial love. By accepting his suffering and offering forgiveness, Jesus broke the primary cycle of violence. The Gospels proclaim that the powers of evil, though continuing their effects today, were decisively defeated on the cross. The resurrection of Jesus launches the reign of God, which will be fully complete upon Jesus’ return.
