The Triumphant Shame of the Cross

Christ’s death was judgment on him because he bore our sins (not his own), and it was mercy toward us who trust him.

Jesus offers you a clear purpose for living, hope that your failures will be forgiven, and help in your fight against sin.

Jesus appeared in the world for two reasons: to help us stop sinning, and to satisfy God’s anger when we do sin.

Look to Jesus this Christmas. Receive the reconciliation that he purchased. Don’t put the gift on the shelf unopened.

The whole Bible is written that you might be awakened to the wonder that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who came into the world.

Jesus’s birth was not a coming into being of a new person, but a coming into the world of an infinitely old person.

If you want to give a gift to God this Christmas, walk off the assembly line of sin and don’t go back. Take up your place, instead, in the picket line of love.

Forgiven, we are indestructible. Satan’s plan was to condemn God’s followers in God’s own courtroom. But now, in Christ, there is no condemnation.

Distrust God’s mercy, and all is lost. But conquer here, and nothing can harm you for a million ages.

God put our sins on his Son and judged them there, so that he could put them out of his mind, and deal with us mercifully and remain just.
