beautiful, scandalous night

I used to think that I'd already known all I needed to know about Christ's dying on the cross. How difficult is it to understand? He was born of a virgin, lived a spectacular life, sentenced to death on the cross, became a replacement for our sins and rose again on the third day to defy death.

Yet now, the more I think about it, the less I feel I understand it. It's beautiful in an unexplainable way, it's way bigger than my mind can ever take.
