Episode notes
Substitution Satisfies Divine Justice
- The cross satisfied God's justice by placing humanity's sin on one substitute so God could remain true to His law requiring penalty by death.
- Charles Stanley explains no sinner could pay for another, so God provided Christ as the substitute who bears the penalty.
Cross Fulfills Isaiah 53 And Sacrificial Foreshadowing
- The crucifixion fulfilled Old Testament prophecy, notably Isaiah 53 and the sacrificial system foreshadowing Christ as the Lamb of God.
- Stanley links Mosaic sacrifices and John the Baptist's declaration to show continuity of God's redemption plan.
Redemption Means Ransom Paid In Blood
- Redemption means God paid the ransom with Christ's precious blood to buy believers back from slavery to sin.
- Stanley cites 1 Peter 1:18 and emphasizes Christ liquidated and canceled the debt for all mankind.
