Cross, the Overcomer of Evil


The Satan Syndrome, Nigel Wright, Zondervan, 1990, p. 68

[God] is not the author of evil, but he is the author of creation and of the risk inherent in it.… The significance of the cross of Jesus is that the one who suffers most because of sin is not mankind but God himself and it is by his own action in the cross that the power of evil is actually overcome.
