The Turning Point of History- The Paschal Mystery of Good Friday and Easter Sunday

Christians understand that human history has a beginning and an end.  Christianity also understands another clear reality, which is that human history has a turning point, a pivot, a mid-course correction that opens new and grand vistas for all who will turn with it.  This cosmic hinge of history is known as the Paschal Mystery, which is the Death and Resurrections of Jesus the Messiah.  This grand and cosmic event restores God's intended destiny for His beloved humanity, which is life free of the corruption, the consequences of sin, and estrangement from God.
