Cycles don't break themselves. They need to be seen. They need someone brave enough to name them. To step outside the ritual and say: "No more." That's what Jesus did. He didn't just step into the cycle of violence — He exposed it, absorbed it, and undid it from within. He showed us: The price was always too high. The God we thought needed sacrifice was never in the audience. And once you see that... you are free to choose a different way. The way of mercy. The way of peace. The way of forgiveness that doesn't wait for someone else to make it safe first.
