John Howard Yoder on Cross-Shaped Providence - Anabaptist (Romans 8:28)

Source: John Howard Yoder54 words

"The cross is the model of how God works good out of evil. The worst thing that ever happened—the murder of God's Son—became the best thing that ever happened. Romans 8:28 follows the logic of the cross: God's way is redemptive suffering, not triumphant power." — John Howard Yoder. Anabaptist theology sees cross-shaped providence.
