Does anyone know a resource for the psychology of the cross. It was mentioned to me in confession. Not enough time to get a full explanation.
Thanks

The Bible. Read Romans 5 for example.

“While we were yet helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. Why, one will hardly die for a righteous man—though perhaps for a good man one will dare even to die. ¶ But God shows his love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)

It was done out of love for us!

**
"But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man’s trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift in the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many.† **¶ And the free gift is not like the effect of that one man’s sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brings justification. If, because of one man’s trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ. " (Romans 5:15-17)

If many died… Much more have the grace of God… That is good news in Christ Jesus!
