“Teaching children the darkness of the Passion narrative and the shadows of Holy Week is very important. It makes the light of resurrection all the more bright. It helps prepare them for suffering in the future. I think not trying to apologize for those parts of the gospel story, but presenting them faithfully, clearly and helpfully, remembering that it is bad news before it's good news, both in regard to human nature and also the cross before the crown.”
This quote argues for the importance of confronting difficult truths and challenges, as understanding the 'bad news' enhances the appreciation and impact of eventual positive outcomes and prepares individuals for future adversity.
