Episode notes
One Effective, Once-For-All Sacrifice
- Christ's one sacrifice is uniquely effective and cannot be equated with repeated animal sacrifices.
- Repetition would make the Son's death look weak and erase its infinite value, so his once-for-all death is triumphant.
God's Holiness Meets Sinners At The Cross
- God's holiness makes welcome for sinners surprising and costly, not automatic.
- The cross shows how a holy God can justly welcome sinful people by a triumphant, not shameful, act.
Triumphant, Not Defeating, Shame
- If Christ's death required yearly repetition, it would undermine its triumph and infinite worth.
- The shame of the cross becomes triumphant because Jesus overcame shame and now sits at God's right hand.
