—Francis of Assisi

Victorious Failure

Contemplation

Irony is a communication or literary technique where what appears to be true on the surface actually reveals an opposite truth. Today, we often use irony in humor. However, in the Greek tradition, irony was most often used in dramatic, tragic plays.

The scene described in Mark 15 appears on the surface to be a tragic failure and an end to life. Jesus is standing before his accusers and offering no defense. Jesus is sentenced to death, flogged, and nailed to a cross where he gives up his last breath.

But, ironically, there is a hidden victory that forms the backdrop to this tragic scene. In reality, it is the beginning of an entirely new way of living. The cross of Jesus becomes the victory of God’s love over all.
