The death of Jesus on the cross is the centre of all Christian theology. It is not the only theme of theology, but it is in effect the entry to its problems and answers on earth. All Christian statements about God, about creation, about sin and death have their focal point in the crucified Christ. Al Christian statements about history, about the church, about faith and sanctification, about the future and about hope stem from the crucified Christ. . . . [T]he centre is occupied not by ‘cross and resurrection’, but by the resurrection of the crucified Christ, which qualifies his death as something that has happened for us, and the cross of the risen Christ, which reveals and makes accessible to those who are dying his resurrection from the dead.
— Jurgen Moltmann, The Crucified God

What do you think he means by, ” which reveals and makes accessible to those who are dying his resurrection from the dead” ?
