Tim references the 2 Corinthians passage as one that talks about a reconciliation that goes to the cross. A reconciliation that unmasks rather than props up the powers of violence and crucifixion. It lays bare the injustice and evil of the violence that supports them. Why then does the cross point to reconciliation? We see the justness of Christ, the love from which he comes. Christ seeks us out, so that we see the injustice of violence that comes to a head — state violence — and yet more. This violence touches us, runs through our souls, structures who we are and how we live. As we move through the world, we hear the call to division and fear: to be for ourselves and to be against — what?
