Atonement (78)
  1. Sin, death, and Satan may have had more than a puncher's chance to beat us, but when God stepped into the ring, they should have admitted defeat and thrown in the towel.
  2. And because Jesus on the cross was sin in its entirety, God cannot look at him. He turns his face away, causing Jesus to cry out in utmost agony, “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?”
  3. Advent is not a call to prepare to engage in a transaction with God.
  4. On this day in the year 1093, Anselm was consecrated as the archbishop of Canterbury.
  5. Our forefathers dedicated Holy Cross Day to jolt the Church into remembrance that Christianity is not principally about ethics.
  6. We don’t just need someone to bear our guilt and die for us. We also need someone to defeat all of the forces of sin and darkness and anxiety and depression that overwhelm us.
  7. He will plead guilty on our behalf, and suffer the death sentence in our place.
  8. He is our gold. He is our pure garment. He is our healing. He is our sanity. He is our wholeness.
  9. That is the good news that ifies all hand wringing and wipes away every tear from every eye.
  10. As the storm waves of life crash into us, threatening to pull us down into the undertow of sin, Jesus comes and stands between us and the furious tides.
  11. The question isn't "what are we going to do," the question is "what aren't we going to do?" In this episode, Jesus becomes sin and death.
  12. Gonna make it, Gonna make it, Not gonna make it, Not gonna make it, Not gonna make it! In this episode, distinguishing righteousness from righteousness, good works from justification.
