Biblical scholars and theologians can argue about Christ's life, and what His sacrifice really meant. Interpretations abound.
Here's one take that really got me thinking (emphasis mine):
In Franciscan parlance, Jesus did not come to change the mind of God about humanity; Jesus came to change the mind of humanity about God. This grounds Christianity in pure love and perfect freedom from the very beginning. It creates a very coherent and utterly positive spirituality, which draws people toward lives of inner depth, prayer, reconciliation, healing, and even universal "at-one-ment," instead of mere sacrificial atonement. Nothing changed on Calvary, but everything was revealed as God's suffering love--so that we could change!
A perspective to consider as we continue our path though lent.
