“When God sets out to embrace the enemy, the result is the cross. On the cross the dancing circle of self-giving and mutually indwelling divine persons opens up for the enemy; in the agony of the passion the movement stops for a brief moment and a fissure appears so that sinful humanity can join in. We, the others—we, the enemies—are embraced by the divine persons who love us with the same love with which they love each other and therefore make space within their own eternal embrace.”
