The Crucified HOT!

«I am the way, the truth, and life" (John 14, 6) says Jesus about himself. What does this statement have to do with the misery of the Crucified in the image of the Isenheim Altar? It is always difficult, even impossible for our minds, to combine contradictory elements into a synthesis. The TRUTH, in other words reality, can only be described in contradictions and only in successive steps. Contradictory statements must then come together in us. First of all, however, we have to experience: That is the WAY. Only then unity will be restored through our individual understanding, which is the recognized experience. LIFE is only possible from this recovered unity. This is the theme of the Cross.
