Evil presents a paradox at the heart of human existence. We yearn for a world filled with peace and justice, yet something within us perpetually generates destruction. This profound tension forms the foundation of biblical understanding about sacrifice and redemption.
The Bible identifies two dimensions of evil's impact: the direct injustice requiring repayment and the relational vandalism needing restoration. Ancient Israel's practice of animal sacrifice, though strange to modern sensibilities, offered a powerful symbolic solution addressing both dimensions. The animal died as a substitute (atonement), while its blood—representing life—cleaned away evil's contamination (purification).
What makes the biblical narrative revolutionary is God's commitment to eliminate evil without eliminating humanity. Rather than simply destroying a corrupted creation, God enters the story through Jesus, fulfilling ancient prophecies in unexpected ways. As Isaiah foretold, this king becomes a servant who suffers on behalf of others. Jesus' death serves as the perfect sacrifice that both pays humanity's debt and cleanses the relational damage caused by evil.
But the story doesn't end with death. Through resurrection, Jesus shatters evil's power, establishing new rituals—baptism and communion—that connect believers to his transformative life. These sacred practices aren't mere remembrances but gateways to the same power that conquered death.
On Maundy Thursday, we recall Jesus' mandate to love others as he loved us. This divine love manifests in forgiveness and blessing toward everyone—not selective grace, but universal compassion. When we participate in communion or share meals remembering Jesus, we transcend time, joining him in that upper room while he joins us in our present moment.
