The Cross of Christ (pt. 14)

We continue studies of John Stott's "The Cross of Christ" (ISBN 9780830833207 or 9780877849988).
Conflicting - and erroneous - views of Christ's atoning sacrifice are discussed today: Christ as God's "whipping boy" vs God Himself died on the cross. John Stott reminds us that Christ was, and is, absolutely unique as being equally both God and man. Christ died to satisfy God's holiness - he died for his Father, not for humanity.
Dr. Schoeffler visits the predictive story in Exodus 17, where Moses strikes a rock in the wilderness upon which God rests, symbolically killing God - and water comes forth - a preview of the living water that came forth when Christ was killed on the cross.
