The call to repentance in the New Testament reveals the transformative power of the cross, the moment in which humanity becomes aware that it has resisted and rejected divine love as revealed in Christ. Repentance, in this context, is not merely an ethical correction or moral reform but a profound recognition of humanity’s participation in the suffering and rejection of the incarnate Word. Yet within this recognition, divine mercy is disclosed. The site of ultimate sin becomes the locus of ultimate grace, as the reality of human estrangement is met by the unmerited compassion of God.
