The Paradox of Crucified Christ

In the first century a Christ that was crucified was to speak of a Savior who failed. So his death would look like loss and failure This guy was a Messiah who lost he failed Unless you see it as a question of modes of being Is there a new way to be human or Do we as human beings have to live? Trapped in same old cycles of violence is the world made better through coercive military violence Or is the world make better through sacrificial love?
