“Jesus died so that…” How would you finish the sentence? Join Glen Scrivener and Naomi Brehm as they explore different images the Bible gives us to understand the mystery of what Christ has done. In this episode, we meander through the law courts, the temple, the market, the home and the battlefield as we consider the Bible’s language of “justification”, “propitiation”, “representation”, “redemption”, “adoption” and “victory”. You’ll want a Bible for this one - or follow along with Romans 3 online here.
