“In going to the cross, Jesus was not being practical; he was being faithful. Jesus didn’t take a pragmatic approach to the problem of evil; Jesus took an aesthetic approach to the problem of evil. Jesus chose to absorb the ugliness of evil and turn it into something beautiful—the beauty of forgiveness.” LoveSinBeautyFaithfulnessAestheticsAtonementPragmatismPractical Book:Beauty Will Save the World Source: Beauty Will Save the World
