Blogging the Cross (1)

Aron of some thoughts blogs about the doctrine of the atonement. After describiing the necessity, nature, perfection, and extent of the atonement, Aron writes,

All this is to say that Christ is an actual saviour–that he is our true Redeemer! He humbled himself and became a man for us, he lived a righteous life for us, he preached and prophesied and performed miracles for us, he proclaimed the gospel to us, he was tortured, beaten, spit upon, and crucified for us–that is he absorbed the full wrath of God for us, he died and was buried three days for us, he rose again for us, he ascended to the father where he makes continual intercession for us–and one day soon he is coming again for us! To these things he was appointed by the Father–and it is impossible that he should fail!

["Blogging the Cross" will be a regular feature at gratitude & hoopla (hence the parenthetical number). I will highlight, as I find them, blogposts that focus on the cross of Christ. Suggestions welcomed.]
