Death of Christ

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.

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.

We do not have to endure the pain and suffering of this fallen existence forever, just for a little while.

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.

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.
