Rudolf Steiner: "For can it really be a heresy when spiritual science, out of its fundamental basis, out of the observation of that which, as spirit, holds sway through the whole progress of the Earth with regard to human and other evolution, arrives at saying “The whole existence of the Earth would have no meaning in the universe if the Mystery of Golgotha had not taken place within the earthly sphere”? The spiritual investigator must say: “If any inhabitants of distant worlds could look down upon the Earth and see what it is, they would see no meaning in the whole evolution of the Earth unless Christ had lived, died, and risen again upon it.” The event of Golgotha gives meaning and purpose to Earth-life for the whole world."
