At the cross God wrapped his heart in flesh and blood and let it be nailed to the cross for our redemption.

Jones’s image compresses the Christian doctrine of the Incarnation and Atonement into a single vivid metaphor. “God wrapped his heart in flesh and blood” portrays Jesus not merely as a messenger but as God’s own self-disclosure in embodied, vulnerable form. The crucifixion is then framed as the ultimate act of divine self-giving: God allows what is most intimate—his “heart”—to be exposed to human violence. The phrase “for our redemption” interprets the cross as purposeful suffering aimed at liberation: deliverance from sin and estrangement, purchased not by force but by sacrificial love. The emphasis falls on God’s solidarity with humanity and the costliness of grace.
