In making victims we are judged, until we turn to the saving Victim.

We are insistently and relentlessly, in Jerusalem, confronted… with a victim who is our victim.

When we make victims, when we embark on condemnation, exclusion, violence, the diminution or oppression of anyone,

when we set ourselves up as judges, we are exposed to judgement (as Jesus himself asserts in Matthew 7.1-2),

and we turn away from salvation.

To hear the good news of salvation, to be converted, is to turn back to the condemned and rejected, acknowledging that there is hope nowhere else.

Rowan Williams (1950 – ), Resurrection, 1982.
