The Church has never tried to give a rational definition of the mystery of the Cross. Biblical terms are the most adequate. Ethical and juridical views are only colorless anthropomorphisms. This also applies to the idea of sacrifice. The sacrifice of Christ cannot only be perceived as a sacrifice or victim, since then the necessity of death would be inexplicable. The whole life of the incarnated was an uninterrupted sacrifice. Why would this life not be enough to conquer death? Christ was a not a passive victim but a conqueror even in the greatest humiliation. And He knew that this humiliation not only meant long-suffering and obedience, but that it was the way of glory and final victory.

- Fr. Georges Florovsky, On the Tree of the Cross, p. 144
