I liked the part about propitiation. It is hard for us to accept. It can be hard to get students I work with to accept it. It's the scandal of grace.
Really? It's finished? It's Done? It's dealt with? I don't have to do anything? But, I've been so bad...I hear all the time. We feel we have to earn it, not that we will be righteous, I think we get that, but do something in order to be worthy of the gift.
It's easy to say, Oh I'm past that I get it....but do we? Do we compare ourselves to others in our own walks with Christ? Do we make a ladder out of bible studies, going to church, missions etc? Yeah it's true those things can bring us into a more intimate relationship with Christ, but do we ever make them a end in themselves?
