Pentecost (627)
  1. God does not simply dismiss death. Instead, He actually takes it upon Himself and into Himself. He ingests, digests, and passes death so we might be spared from even tasting it.
  2. The parable makes obvious what is rarely apparent: God is the absolute Lord of all, and human rebellion is both wicked and futile.
  3. It was the death of David’s greater son who would die for his sin and our sin in order that we might know the mercy of God to cover all our sin and sour grapes.
  4. Paul had no credit because the Law could not atone for his sin. It could not render him positively righteous before the face of God, even though it gave him boasting rights before the Law.
  5. Both God and Ezekiel agree that the people are sinful, and God’s greatness is displayed in His mercy.
  6. This is what faith holds on to, which, despite appearances, transforms us more and more into the likeness of Christ.
  7. To manipulate God with our questions is, ultimately, to try and get ourselves off the hook and/or God off the throne.
