Simplifying the Truth
What exactly is sin? And what’s the big deal? We talk about how terrible sin is in God’s eyes and Jesus died for our sin, but we don’t always explain what it is or why it’s so bad. We just know it’s bad. As always, I’m turning to the Bible for the answers.
Jesus opened His very famous Sermon on the Mount with the well known Beatitudes. Not all of them are well understood, however, so let’s dive in and learn what it is Jesus meant us to learn from them.
After the death of Jesus, all hope seemed lost. The disciples scattered. Lost and confused. Scared and depressed. Little did they know just how close they were to the greatest triumph in all of human history.
As we approach the Easter season, I wish to reflect upon all that Jesus endured on the Cross. We know the story. We know why He did it. Sometimes, though, I fear we don’t fully grasp the magnitude of His suffering.
Here at last is my final post in this series about baptism and baptismal regeneration. I take a look at the logical consequences of baptismal regeneration and ask the question, “Does this make sense in light of what we know about God and what His Word says?”
