Your post makes me think of all the evil that Jesus went through to redeem us from our sins.

Yes!

I like to say that the Cross, viewed in anticipation, is a clear evil and requires a multitude of persistent and deliberate sins.

Viewed in retrospect, the Cross proclaims the deeply powerful and redemptive character of Divine Love ... so great that it turns evil to good.

God can make it good that evil was chosen and done. Now THAT’s power on a more than cosmic level.
