Death of Christ (200)
  1. The Advents of Christ (past, present, and future) elicit faith in the word of Christ, confirmed by his presence.
  2. Your Christian faith is a bloody faith, and that ought not make you fearful or scared or embarrassed.
  3. He also took our own history and suffered all the agony and pain of our own lives.
  4. Each week during this year’s Advent series, we will take a look at a specific implication of Christ’s incarnation. This week, we will discover how God reaffirms the goodness of his creation by making all things new in the incarnation.
  5. Look the judge in the eye and pin your sin on Jesus, the divine judge’s son. Jesus knows you can’t do it, so he trades places with you and pits himself against God’s righteous demands.
  6. Jesus meets us in our life of lies, in our falsehoods, in the untruth of our being, and in the company, we create to cover up our nakedness.
  7. When we — sinful, reprehensible we — become the enforcers of justice, we never bring about true justice. We either go too far or not far enough.
  8. The church’s reformation is not about fragmentation, but a way forward to unity around that which is central to the church, around Christ and him crucified.
  9. We do not have to endure the pain and suffering of this fallen existence forever, just for a little while.
  10. While baptism is a “once and for all” event that should not be repeated in the Christian’s life, the effects of baptism continue throughout the life of the believer.
  11. With Jesus, troubles and sorrows, problems and worries, heartbreak and mourning are gathered up like left-over crumbs from a feast marking the celebration of victory over the enemy's forces.
  12. Everyone is living as a naked sufferer who’s been duped into believing that the nakedness of suffering has to be covered up.
