Is the turning point of human history the Jesus of the cross or the Christ of the resurrection? We live on this side of the resurrection, yet we act as if we are on the far side of the crucifixion. Staring into the cross from the Good Friday perspective makes it difficult to see beyond it. It consumes us. It blocks our vision. Even though we understand in our minds there was a Sunday we continue to stand in our hearts on Friday. Are we missing life in the brilliant light of the resurrection? Try to imagine the profound transformation from the disciples’ broken spirit on Friday to their heart-stopping joy on Sunday evening. Transformation was truly so wrenching there could never be a return to their pre-resurrection world. They began to see the cross through the lens of the resurrection, every time. The risen Lord became their launching pad for faith, and from that glorious platform they reached back and embraced his crucifixion. It should be the same for us!

本作が突きつけるのは、復活を知りながら、心は十字架の影に縛られているという精神的矛盾です。著者のアトノスは、過去の痛みがいかに未来を遮っているかを鋭く活写します。絶望から脱却できない人間の脆さと、解放を求める魂の叫びは、読者の内面を激しく揺さぶります。 復活の光で過去を再定義する、弟子たちの変容の描写は圧巻です。敗北の象徴が希望の出発点へと昇華されるプロセスは、沈滞した心を強引に引き上げる情熱に満ちています。本作は、既存の価値観を根底から覆し、眩いばかりの精神的覚醒を促す、真の変容の物語です。
