Death of Christ (217)
  1. His love for you is so deep that in his mercy, while you were yet a sinner, God sent his only begotten Son to die for you.
  2. “So loved,” then isn’t about how much but instead simply how.
  3. Even as he was dying, the heart of God poured itself out for the sake of sinners.
  4. The gospel's message is the scandalous announcement that Yahweh has stooped to our frame, to where we are.
  5. Fullness, truth, reality – all this God gives us as his gift in Christ.
  6. Maybe, just maybe, our goal for 2023 should not be to live more but to die more.
  7. To trust in the Lord, the Messiah, the Deliverer, is our salvation and our only hope. Yet he does not trust us to have this “trust” on our own or of our own will.
  8. We live again, not so that we will now pay our debt, but to proclaim that we live because our debt was paid!
  9. Weak faith in a strong Christ is still saving faith.
  10. Jesus is the anti-Cain: a giver, not a taker.
  11. It’s the notion of mercy that leads us to the atonement, and it is the atonement that provides a foundational basis for the justification of sinners.
  12. There is only one antidote to the venom of sin and death: the Savior who becomes the serpent so that every snake-bitten-sinner might live.
