Now, finally, God is revealed as He wanted to be. He can finally have the relationships He truly wanted, as stated in John 17. To be known and loved by humanity just as He knew and loved His son.
On the cross, God laid Himself bare. Humiliated and exposed. He showed His true heart while at the same time, bridging the chasm between the realms, conquering the enemy, and fulfilling everything required for complete redemption.
