EPISODE #14: Ted asks Rod about the idea that Jesus Christ did all the work necessary for sinners to be saved. Rod talks about Jesus’ words from the cross, “It is finished.”, and what that means for sinners after the fact and how it relates to justification before a holy God.
EPISODE #10: Ted asks Rod what it means to have an advocate. Rod talks about what it means to have a good father be an advocate for his child and how having someone advocate for you in our present life reflects on how Jesus advocates for us with our Heavenly Father.
God is not an impassive monster who is unfamiliar with our horrendous ailments. Rather, in Christ, God familiarizes himself with our suffering and becomes particularly attuned to the fragility of fallen humanity.
