Hi, this is Justin.
Let me ask you a question.
Why is it that Jesus had to die on a cross?
Why is it that he didn't die via execution in some other way?
Why wasn't he stoned?
Why is it that he was hung on a cross to be killed?
If you're not sure how you would answer that question, today's podcast is for you.
This is a good follow-up to last week's episode, where we thought about theological systems and frameworks that help us to understand and interpret the Bible.
Today is a practical exercise in thinking about Scripture from a redemptive historical perspective with Christ at the center.
And in the members podcast, we consider why it is that we tend to interpret the Bible in so many other ways besides this way.
We hope that this conversation is clarifying for you.
We hope that it is encouraging for you and that you are edified in the Lord Jesus as you listen.
Stay tuned.
