The backlighting would be more effective in this photo, in my opinion, if the sun were further below the horizon, and not causing such a hash, and painful, blowout. I feel there is also too much negative space at the bottom of the image, which takes away from the shot compositionally. A little more room left on the right hand side would have helped as well.
The burst of sun is very appropriate here. I wish it came from behind the cross, and you could have cropped out the ditracting white building. I like the cross in silouette, but I wish I could see more of Jesus - perhaps from a vantage point more to the right you could have captured more of him and had the sun coming from behind the cross?
