Paul tells the Galatians “before your eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified” (Gal. 3:1). Paul’s ministry was one that set the crucified Son of God–his hands and feet pierced, his bloodied head calling out for the forgiveness of his enemies–on display. This is how Paul rebuts those who having begun by faith would be perfected by the works of the law (3:2-6). The remedy for those who err from Christ is not to give them good theology so that they might find their way back to Christ. It is to give them Christ on the cross, the suffering servant. Begin at this spring and good theology can flow. To behold him crucified is death to all religious striving.
