The cross is the most well-known Christian symbol. It expresses Jesus' sacrificial death and the salvation offered to every person. But isn't the cross even more? John Yoder saw Jesus' entire life as a path leading to the cross. For Jesus, it is the path of love given to human beings, free from all violence. Through his life lived in this way, Jesus shows how and with what means God works redemption. Such a path is astounding to the wisdom of the world, accustomed to power games. For Yoder, those who follow Jesus are called together on the same path.
