I was so glad to see everyone today. Excellent discussion once again. The Gospel Project is great at hitting us with a shotgun blast of exposure to God's Word. However, some topics invite more discussion and depth, and the cross is certainly one of those topics. The cross is overwhelming. The event itself is heartbreaking. As Jacob said in class today: "He was whooped!" We spent a good chunk of discussion today talking about the application of the cross. What does "It is finished" mean?
Tullian Tchividjian, Billy Graham's grandson and pastor of Coral Ridge Church in Florida, is one of my favorite contemporary authors. His book Jesus + Nothing = Everything is about the gospel and it has helped me to clarify my understanding of grace. This short video is a great explanation of the finished work of Christ on the cross (Blogger wouldn't let me embed the video for some reason, so I'm just pasting the link HERE).
I understand that many of you will be traveling for Easter next weekend. I pray for safe travels and good fellowship.
