Theology of the Cross (148)
  1. On episode THIRTY of Let the Bird Fly! the guys abandon Peter, so he is forced to find something to talk about.
  2. We are forgiven for Christ’s sake. Losers set free to trust in God’s promises.
  3. There’s something very attractive about both the cross-ladder and the cross-crutches. In fact, there’s something about both of them that the woodworker within us finds eminently more appealing than the simple cross of Jesus.
  4. What does Jesus mean by "Taking up your cross and following Him?" Where is it that we die? Some will not see death until they Jesus in His glory.
  5. Ultimately, however, we find in the Heidelberg Disputation the root and core of Luther’s theology, which he would build and expound upon throughout his life.
  6. As long as we hold tight to a life that was never ours to possess in the first place, so long as we refuse to lay down our life so others can live, Jesus can't do a thing for us.
  7. This coming Sunday churches around the world will celebrate the big, splashy day of Pentecost. As well they should.
  8. As the story unfolds we see Luther’s Heidelberg theses on display, even before the Fellowship leaves Rivendell.
  9. You cannot fudge Glory in this life. You get there only on the Better Day that is coming and not one day before.
  10. To be justified means to be declared righteous in the forgiveness that is ours in the crucified Christ. It is a done deal, and by faith we have it all.
  11. Ultimately, the lie we have believed is that God is like we are. He is not. Thank God that he is not. He is the Lord who reverses all our expectations.
