Hour long talk. Mike opens with the story of justification. Really, really good.
Here's an early stop along the road. The Epistle to Diognetus:
He himself took on Him the burden of our iniquities, He gave His own Son as a ransom for us, the holy One for transgressors, the blameless One for the wicked, the righteous One for the unrighteous, the incorruptible One for the corruptible, the immortal One for them that are mortal. For what other thing was capable of covering our sins than His righteousness? By what other one was it possible that we, the wicked and ungodly, could be justified, than by the only Son of God? O sweet exchange! O unsearchable operation! O benefits surpassing all expectation! that the wickedness of many should be hid in a single righteous One, and that the righteousness of One should justify many transgressors! (Epistle to Diognetus, ch9)
Sorry I'm only posting links at the moment. I've been wasting a lot of time trying to get my hands on workable video creating software. No joy yet.
We always imagine technology will side-step the curse. It's always a shock to realize technology just forces us to engage it all the deeper!
