More Kenosis

The counterintuitive God revealed in Christ is kenotic and cruciform, the Eternal vulnerable and self-giving One, the God of power-in-weakness. Thus we may now paraphrase Ernst Käsemann, who said that the cross was the signature of the Risen One, and assert that the cross is the signature of the EternalOne. Any other understandings of God are henceforth rendered either incomplete or obsolete or idolatrous.—Inhabiting the Cruciform God, pp. 32-33

<idle musing>
It certainly is counter-intuitive; the mind can't really grasp it. But, to call it idolatrous? But, when you think about it, it is creating a different God than the biblical one. And that is definitely idolatry.
