Despite the fact that Christ was abandoned and rejected, God in Christ had opened a path for a new way to be together. The No of the cross was not only a No to Satan but also a No to all suffering and evil. However, the community’s response is finally a No to humanity’s initial No to the crucified Christ that reverberates in an ultimate Yes to being together in communal relations just as God in Christ said Yes to us ultimately in the incarnation by denying His sovereign power and control and coming to earth.
