The Cross has paid our debt\, liberated us\, renewed our natur e and given us baptism as the means by which we acquire the redemption of the Cross. The two prominent examples of the saving work of the Cross are Adam and the thief. Instead of being a means of punishment and death to th em\, the Cross becomes their way to life and salvation. With Adam and the thief then\, the whole creation is saved by Christ's Cross because in Chri st the past\, present and future become a sacred time participating in God 's mysteries.This transcending of chronological boundaries is vividly pain ted in the following excerpt from the 'Cave of Treasures':"In everything\, Christ made Himself like Adam\, as it is written\, and in the spot Melchi zedek served as priest\, where Abraham offered up a lamb as a sacrifice\, there the wood of the Cross was stuck. This place is the middle of the ear th\, and there the four comers embrace together. Because\, when God made t he earth\, His great power would run ahead of Him\, and the earth would ru n after Him from the four comers\; there\, at Golgotha\, God’s power aro se and stopped\; and there the four corners of the world embraced each oth er: this place is the door of the universe\, and the place was opened. Whe n Shem and Melchizedek put Adam's body in the middle of the earth\, the fo ur comers ran and embraced Adam\, and the door was shut immediately\, and none of Adam’s children could open it. But when the Cross of Christ—th e Savior of Adam and his children—was placed over it\, the door of the p lace opened on Adam’s face. And when the Cross was fixed over him\, Chri st was wounded by the spear\, and blood and water flowed from His side\, t hey flowed into Adam’s mouth and became his baptism\, and he was baptize d with them."Reference: Mor Cyril Aphrem Karim\, 'The Sign of the Cross'\, in Pro Oriente Syriac Dialogue V 2003\; The Book of the Cave of Treasures (as quoted in 'Invitation to Syriac Christianity') LOCATION: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
