The Cross Unmasked: How Jesus Overcame Evil with Good

The Cross Unmasked: How Jesus Overcame Evil with Good

Author: Jerry Robinson January 30, 2025 Duration: 18:55
What if the cross of Jesus wasn’t about appeasing a wrathful God, but about exposing the futility of violence and revealing the unstoppable power of love?

In this episode of The Gospel of Peace podcast, we explore how Jesus overcame evil—not through retaliation, but through self-giving love.

The crucifixion was humanity’s ultimate act of violence, yet God’s response was forgiveness, reconciliation, and resurrection victory.

We’ll dive into what this means for us as followers of Christ, why the myth of redemptive violence crumbles at the cross, and how embracing Jesus’ way of peace can transform our lives today.

If you’ve ever wrestled with the meaning of the cross, this episode will challenge you to see it in a whole new light.

The Gospel of Peace: Rediscovering the Nonviolent Way of Jesus releases November 30, 2026.

Hosted by the True Riches Academy, The Gospel Of Peace offers a space for deep conversation about a Christianity centered on radical, nonviolent love. This isn't about rehearsing familiar doctrines; it's an invitation to grapple with the challenging teachings of Jesus, particularly around violence, conflict, and what it means to truly love an enemy. Each episode, whether a teaching, a personal reflection, or a guest interview, pushes against conventional views on war and power, proposing a transformative path rooted in the peace of Christ. The dialogue is for anyone-believer, skeptic, or simply the curious-who feels that faith must offer more than passive agreement or cultural endorsement. By engaging with scripture and its practical implications in a broken world, this podcast seeks to reframe discipleship as an active, courageous pursuit of reconciliation. Tune in for thoughtful discussions that don't shy away from complexity, aiming to equip and inspire a more faithful, peaceful way of living.
