Darrell bazinga-d me SO much this morning. It really gives a whole new meaning to "It is finished." What is finished? God's ultimate saving act? Yes. My redemption? Yes. But really, truly, what is finished is the full manifestation of the character of YHWH in the person of Jesus Christ.
What? Who does that?!
At the moment of the cross, His character is finally fully revealed. It was one thing to be born human. It was one thing to love on the unlovables of the world, or one thing to get on His knees and wash our feet. But to die and suffer separation from the Father - that is another thing entirely.
And it's all a part of His character! This is what He does as YHWH.
Abba, you are so crazy good.
"The heart of the Christian faith. The heart of the universe. Jesus concludes equality with God means emptying one self and becoming a servant....what?" - Darrell Johnson. I can hear Eric at program right now saying what? No! What?? No!! What?!!?
