Sin As An Industrial System
- John Piper frames sin as an industry run by Satan that mass-produces offenses against God.
- Christmas initiates a strike that aims to shut down that system and clear God's name.
Christmas As A Strike Against Sin
- Christmas is framed as good news for both sinners and God because Jesus came to destroy the devil's works.
- The strike metaphor shows redemption as active opposition to sin, not mere forgiveness alone.
Walk Off The Assembly Line
