Series Title: Christ's Suffering and Death

21. The Joyful Exchange

Three voices to close with — a confession, and two reformers — each setting out from a different angle what Christ’s death secured.

20. He Reigns From the Cross

The gospel of the kingdom proclaimed by Jesus is partly distinguished from the gospel preached by the apostles in that they significantly expanded on the meaning of his death.

19. Everyone Knows God Is Love. Few Know What That Means.

God’s love is certainly good news. But it doesn’t follow that the love of God is itself the gospel.

18. It Happened Inside God

The reconciliation accomplished at the cross cannot be understood as the act of the Son alone, isolated from the Father and the Spirit.

17. The Offended Party Makes the First Move

‘God reconciled the world with himself, without its assistance, apart from it, without the world contributing anything to it.’

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.’
