A Return to the Blog world with Volf

Well it has been almost 6 weeks since my last blog. I am probably not the best blogger, because quite a bit has been going on at work and in my thoughts. I am just going to leave a quote I read yesterday from Miroslav Volf. A quick note on the context, Captain G. is a man who interrogated Volf for a couple months in the 80's.

Furthermore, what effect, if any, does the death of Jesus Christ to save the ungodly have on Captain F. as an abuser? Christ "died for all," says the Apostle Paul; therefore, in some sense " all have died," not just those who believe in Christ (Corinthians 5:14). Captain G. too? Then how should I remember his abuse, given that Christ atoned for it ? Or does Christ's atonement have no impact on my memory of his wrongdoing?

If One died for the salvation of all should we not hope for the salvation of all ? Should I actively hope for Captain G.s entry into the world to come? More, Christ died to reconcile human beings to one another, not only to God.....The banquet is an image the N.T frequently uses to describe that reconciled world. Captain G. and I sitting together at the table feasting with laughter and camaraderie? A very scary thought, but not an impossible scenario! What would it mean to remember his wrongdoing now in view of such a potential future?
