The Incarnation: Humiliation to Ironic Victory

The incarnation confirms heroism in humiliation
  • The Editor
  • December 11, 2021
"Christ was not a human hero whose motto was Excelsior, who overcomes every obstacle, and finally achieves the pinnacle of his fame. On the contrary He descended always lower and deeper and more intimately into our fellowship."

A Different Reflex to a Single Pain

Guilt & shame and hearing the gospel
  • rah
  • October 27, 2020
Whenever people are on the receiving end of a transgression, they frequently recognize sins that they otherwise suppress. What they hide as offenders they shout as the offended. They even feel offended. Their integrity is suddenly injured, and they sound the same to all. It is proper to recognize such as a proud and hypocritical reaction in men, but we must also admit that it is an inevitable one—an echo that we all actually expect and long for at least a kind of righteous world, even when we wickedly try and place ourselves as its center.

The judgements of God are too infrequently considered, sometimes because those who disparage them do not find in their consideration what they presumed—the innocent. All the same, whoever neglects to consider God’s righteous judgements upon the guilty, will also forfeit a discovery of God’s grace. One of the ironies of God’s work in history is that he reconstitutes judgement for salvation, and death for life.

Noah is No Second Adam, After All

The shame of Adam & Noah was covered by Christ

  • July 1, 2020
Genesis 9 instructs us in the gracious and surprising work of God; but of course, this sentence suffers from an obvious redundancy, for God’s grace should always strike us as surprising. But should the surprising and gracious elements of this chapter not initially be evident, a brief survey of the chapter will prove helpful before the gracious surprise is considered in a following article.
