Death of Christ (217)
  1. This is an excerpt from “Crucifying Religion” written by Donavon Riley (1517 Publishing, 2019).
  2. Predestination is a promising teaching as Paul teaches it in Romans 8. It’s promising when Christ and his work for us are held firmly in hand.
  3. The fact that baptism specifically unites me to Christ in his death means that I share in his sufferings in my identity, not in my activity.
  4. In both Psalms, we hear the Messiah becoming sin for us, and thus he pleads on our behalf before the Father
  5. There is a power that is stronger and mightier than the power of separation in death. And that power is the power of God’s love for you and me.
  6. Your prayers are not what make you acceptable in his sight. You have already been made acceptable through the blood of Christ.
  7. He is not ashamed to call us brothers and sisters, even as we curse and yell at him for not pleasing us with our pettish wishes.
  8. That is why we dance on graves. That is why we smile in the midst of sorrowful tears. That is why we retell old stories and share humorous memories.
  9. Erick and Daniel discuss Luke's account of the death and resurrection of Jesus.
  10. We already know how the war will conclude. Jesus wins.
  11. Is there anything abiding, anything long-lasting that can inspire us to hope again?
  12. The biggest point Luther makes about the descent is not that Jesus triumphed over hell idle and unaffected, but that Jesus defeated hell by suffering hell away.
