16. Making Up After a Quarrel

The work of the Lord Jesus Christ is, likewise, a work of reconciliation.

15. Bought Out of Slavery

Jesus’ death, an act of extreme violence, was a necessary act of service to his people — taking the form of ‘a ransom’ (Greek lytron; Matt 20:28; Mark 10:45).

14. Propitiation

Both the One Who Turns Aside the Anger and the One Whose Anger Is Turned

Our redemption in Christ does not involve the literal exchange of money.

13. Justice and Mercy Without Compromise

What was the death of Jesus for? That question keeps pressing.

12. Did the Father Punish the Son?

Care must be taken in the wording of Christian songs and preaching to avoid — and indeed to repudiate — any sense that in the God-forsakenness and dereliction of the cross (Matt 27:46; Mark 15:34) the Father punishes the Son.

11. Cursed in Our Place

Christ is the Lamb of God — the one to whom every lamb offered at Israel’s altar pointed forward.

10. Instead of Us, Not Merely Alongside

'The concept of substitution may be said … to lie at the heart of both sin and salvation.’

9. Ransomed by Blood

Closely connected to Christ’s obedience, though bringing out the meaning of his death in its own distinctive way, is the category of sacrifice.

8. Undoing Adam

The category of obedience helps us grasp what Jesus was doing in his life and death.

7. The Victory Keeps Arriving

In the last article we identified five ways the victory of Christ reaches out and embraces us:

6. Ways the Victory Reaches You

The fatal blow struck against the serpent is foretold as early as Genesis 3:15.

5. The Crucified Christ Is the Conquering Christ

From the moment Adam and Eve sinned, the LORD God promised a programme of offensive action for the future.
